The United Kingdom participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Flying the Flag (For You)" written by Russ Spencer, Morten Schjolin, Andrew Hill and Paul Tarry. The song was performed by the group Scooch. The British entry for the 2007 contest in Helsinki, Finland was selected via the national final Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up 2007, organised by the British broadcaster BBC. Six acts competed in the national final and the winner was selected through two rounds of public televoting.
As a member of the "Big Four", the United Kingdom automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 19, the United Kingdom placed 22nd out of the 24 participating countries with 19 points.
Background
Prior to the 2007 contest, the United Kingdom has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest forty-nine times. Thus far, the United Kingdom has won the contest five times: in 1967 with the song "Puppet on a String" performed by Sandie Shaw, in 1969 with the song "Boom Bang-a-Bang" performed by Lulu, in 1976 with the song "Save Your Kisses for Me" performed by Brotherhood of Man, in 1981 with the song "Making Your Mind Up" performed by Bucks Fizz and in 1997 with the song "Love Shine a Light" performed by Katrina and the Waves. To this point, the nation is noted for having finished as the runner-up in a record fifteen contests. Up to and including 1998, the UK had only twice finished outside the top 10, in 1978 and 1987. Since 1999, the year in which the rule was abandoned that songs must be performed in one of the official languages of the country participating, the UK has had less success, thus far only finishing within the top ten once: in 2002 with the song "Come Back" performed by Jessica Garlick. For the 2006 contest, the United Kingdom finished in nineteenth place out of twenty-four competing entries with the song "Teenage Life" performed by Daz Sampson.
The British national broadcaster, BBC, broadcasts the event within the United Kingdom and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. BBC announced that the United Kingdom would participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 on 16 October 2006. BBC has traditionally organised a national final featuring a competition among several artists and songs to choose the British entry for Eurovision. For their 2007 entry, the broadcaster announced that a national final involving a public vote would be held to select United Kingdom's entry.
Before Eurovision
Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up 2007
Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up 2007 was the national final developed by the BBC in order to select the British entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. Six acts competed in a televised show on 17 March 2007 held at the Maidstone Studios in Maidstone, Kent and hosted by Terry Wogan and Fearne Cotton. The winner was selected entirely through a public vote. The show was broadcast on BBC One. The first part of the national final was watched by 5.1 million viewers in the United Kingdom with a market share of 22.6%, while the second part was watched by 5.6 million viewers in the United Kingdom with a market share of 25.7%.
Competing entries
Entries were provided to the BBC by record labels and music industry experts including writers, producers, artist managers and artists themselves. Among the acts rumoured by British media to have been consulted by the BBC with for entry submissions and involvement in the national final included Ace of Base, 2006 British representative Daz Sampson with Carol Decker, Morrissey, Queentastic, Scissor Sisters and The Puppini Sisters. Six finalists were selected to compete in the national final, which were announced during a press conference on 28 February 2007.
Final
Six acts competed in the televised final on 17 March 2007. In addition to their performances, the guest performer was previous Eurovision Song Contest winner Lordi, who won the contest for Finland in 2006 with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah".
A panel of experts provided feedback regarding the songs during the show. The panel consisted of John Barrowman (actor, dancer, singer and television presenter) and Mel Giedroyc (actress, comedian and television presenter). The winner was selected over two rounds of public televoting. In the first round, "I'll Leave My Heart" performed by Cyndi and "Flying the Flag (For You)" performed by Scooch were selected to proceed to the second round. In the second round, the winner, "Flying the Flag (For You)" performed by Scooch, was selected.
Controversy
During the winner's announcement of the national final, Terry Wogan revealed the winner to be Cyndi while Fearne Cotton simultaneously revealed the winner to be Scooch. Many people believed Cyndi was the winner as Wogan's announcement was louder than Cotton's, however it was confirmed seconds later that Scooch were the winners. The BBC would later issue a written apology, blaming the blunder on "live TV".
Fourth-placed act Justin Hawkins, who left the venue following the results announcement of the first voting round, later accused viewers for being "racist or stupid" for not voting for his song and third-placed act Big Brovaz due to the race of the group and his duet partner Beverlei Brown. Accusations were also made by Hawkins and sixth-placed act Brian Harvey that Scooch had "duped the public into voting" for them by failing to show their two backing vocalists on stage with the purpose of boosting their performance. The BBC later issued a statement clarifying that all finalists had "followed EBU rules to the letter" and that "having off-camera supporting singers occurs regularly in TV shows and especially the Eurovision".
At Eurovision
According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country, the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) and the ten highest placed finishers in the 2006 contest are required to qualify from the semi-final in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from the semi-final progress to the final. As a member of the "Big Four", the United Kingdom automatically qualified to compete in the final on 12 May 2007. In addition to their participation in the final, the United Kingdom is also required to broadcast and vote in the semi-final on 10 May 2007.
In the United Kingdom, the semi-final was broadcast on BBC Three with commentary by Paddy O'Connell and Sarah Cawood, while the final was televised on BBC One with commentary by Terry Wogan and broadcast on BBC Radio 2 with commentary by Ken Bruce. The British spokesperson, who announced the British votes during the final, was Fearne Cotton.
Final
Scooch took part in technical rehearsals on 7 and 8 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 11 and 12 May. During the running order draw for the semi-final and final on 12 March 2007, the United Kingdom was placed to perform in position 19 in the final, following the entry from Ukraine and before the entry from Romania. The British performance featured the members of Scooch, joined by two backing vocalists, performing on a predominantly red, white and blue coloured stage which featured cabin-style props including refreshment trolleys, metal detectors, suitcases and airplane seats, with the LED screens displaying flying white planes and dots. The United Kingdom placed twenty-second in the final, scoring 19 points.

Edward Jenks, FBA (1861–1939) was an English jurist, and noted writer on law and its place in history. Born on 20 February 1861 in Lambeth, London, to Robert Jenks, upholsterer, and his wife Frances Sarah, née Jones, he was educated at Dulwich College (1874–77) and King's College, Cambridge, where he was scholar (1886) and, in 1889-95, fellow. He graduated B.A., LL.B. in 1886, and M.A. in 1890. He was awarded the Le Bas Prize and the Thirlwall Prize and was chancellor's medallist. In 1887 he was called to the Bar and for the next two years lectured at Pembroke and Jesus colleges, Cambridge.
He was a brilliant law student at King's College, Cambridge and was placed first in the law tripos of 1886. He was called to the bar in 1887.
He held many seats: Director of Studies in Law and History at Jesus College, Cambridge 1888-9, Dean at the faculty of law University of Melbourne 1890, University College, Liverpool 1890-92 then later to 1895 at Victoria University of Manchester, reader of English at University of Oxford from 1896, and then at the University of London from 1928-1930 as a professor of English law in the London School of Economics and Political Science, being succeeded by Sir David Hughes Parry.
Jenks was a Fellow of the British Academy. He was a founder of the Society of Public Teachers of Law and its secretary 1909-1917.
He married first in 1890 to Annie Ingham, who died after giving birth to a son; the son would die fighting in the Great War. His second marriage in 1898 was to Dorothy Maud, a daughter of Sir William Bower Forwood, with whom he had a daughter, and a son Jorian Jenks.
Jenks wrote a number of books and essays dealing with law, politics and history. He was the principal editor of A Digest of English Civil Law (1905–1917) which led to receipt of an honorary doctorate from Paris. After two further editions in his lifetime (1921 and 1938), the fourth edition (1947), edited in his place by P. H. Winfield, retained Jenks's Prolegomena, with its opening remark that a digest uses the indicative mood rather than the imperative mood of a code, and differs from an encyclopaedia in that it aims at economy of words. In the preface to the first instalment of the 1905 -17 edition, Jenks mentioned that the work had resulted from a suggestion of the President of the Berlin Society for Comparative Jurisprudence and Political Economy for a statement of English law, intended by the Society as the first of its projected series of handbooks on the legal systems of modern civilized communities, it being the Society's intention to produce a series of works to be modelled after the pattern of the German Civil Code which came into force throughout the German Empire on 1 January 1900, but departing from the arrangement of the German Code as considered advisable.<ref>A digest of English civil law, by Edward Jenks, (editor) W. M. Geldart, W. S. Holdsworth, R. W. Lee, J. C. Miles. London, Butterworth, 1905-1917.</ref> Jenks's Digest was published by Butterworths, who, from 1907, were also publishing Halsbury's Laws of England as a "complete statement of the whole law of England".
Edward Jenks is most famous for his iconoclastic essay The Myth of Magna Carta published in the Independent Review'' in 1904. Jenks argued against Stubbs's proposition that Magna Carta was the first corporate act of the nation roused to the sense of its unity, when the people of the towns and villages ranged themselves on the side of the barons against the king for the first time since the Norman Conquest.

The Keeping Students in Class Act (Bill 28, 2022) was a law in the province of Ontario. It aimed to address labour disputes between the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the province of Ontario regarding employees in Ontario public school districts. The act prohibited any strikes by CUPE members by declaring strikes by the union to be illegal under Ontario's Labour Relations Act, setting a fine of up to $4,000 per day on strike for members, and $500,000 per day on strike for the union. The bill used the controversial Notwithstanding Clause to override Canadians' constitutional right to strike. After the union's decision to strike anyway, protests, other unions pledging to join in, and proposals for a general strike, CUPE and the Ontario government came to an agreement to repeal the bill, and declare it and any collective agreements enacted by it void ab initio.
Summary
The bill declared that any strike action by members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) to be illegal and punishable with fines of up to $4,000 per day on strike for members, and $500,000 per day on strike for the union. It also contained a modal collective bargaining agreement that the union members and school board were forced to adhere to. The law states that it will operate notwithstanding sections 2, 7 and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that it will apply despite the Human Rights Code, meaning it cannot be challenged in court despite clearly violating the right to strike, which is afforded to all persons in Canada as set out in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, according to the Supreme Court case Saskatchewan Federation of Labour v Saskatchewan.
Background
CUPE represents around 55,000 workers in Ontario public and Catholic school boards including educational assistants, custodians, school secretaries, designated early childhood educators, IT workers, maintenance workers, and library staff. On 31 August 2022, the educational workers' collective bargaining agreement expired and they started negotiations with the province for a new one.
On 26 September 2022, the union announced that their members voted 96.5% in favour of a strike.
The primary point of contention between the province and the union was employee compensation. The province offered raises of 2% per year for workers making less than $40,000 and 1.25% for all other workers, while CUPE was looking for the much higher rate of 11.7%, pointing out that the province's offer is only an extra $800 year for the average worker. The province's final offer was an increase of 2.5% for workers making under $43,000, and a 1.5% for all other workers, which the union rejected as too little, citing 3 years of wage freezes brought on by Bill 124. Finally on 30 October, CUPE issued an official 5-day strike notice.
The next day on 31 October, Ontario's Progressive Conservative government introduced the Keeping Students in Class Act to preempt a strike by the union. The bill passed on 3 November along party lines with the Progressive Conservatives voting in favour and the Liberal and New Democratic parties voting against.
Reception
The bill faced a strong backlash from CUPE, many other unions, and human rights organisations, especially regarding the use of the notwithstanding clause to override charther rights of the workers impacted. The union announced that they would strike regardless, and that they would challenge the fines and pay them on behalf of the workers if needed to ensure that the workers would not be paying out of pocket.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the use of the Notwithstanding Clause to impose a contract on education workers "wrong". He told reporters "I know that collective bargaining negotiations are sometimes difficult, but it has to happen. The suspension of people’s rights is something that you should only do in the most exceptional circumstances, and I really hope that all politicians call out the overuse of the notwithstanding clause to suspend people’s rights and freedoms."
Federal Justice Minister David Lametti told reporters that the federal government has the option to challenge the legislation but had not decided on what to do yet. He said "The use of the notwithstanding clause is very serious. It de facto means that people’s rights are being infringed and it’s being justified. Using the notwithstanding clause and using it preemptively is exceedingly problematic. It cuts off both political debate and judicial scrutiny, and both of those are problematic in our democracy. Both are essential parts of our democracy."
Repeal and aftermath
The morning of Monday November 8, 2022, Premier Doug Ford held a press conference where he said he would repeal the legislation as "a sign of good faith". In return, the union agreed to temporarily stop their strike and continue bargaining.
On 14 November 2022, the Ford government introduced Bill 35, "Keeping Students in Class Repeal Act". The bill passed the same day with all MPP's voting in favour. The new bill repealed Bill 28 ab initio by declaring:
1. The Keeping Students in Class Act, 2022 is repealed and is deemed for all purposes never to have been in force.
2. For greater certainty, the collective agreements that were deemed to be in operation under subsection 5 (1) of the Keeping Students in Class Act, 2022 are deemed for all purposes never to have come into operation.
After further negotiations, on 20 November 2022, the CUPE bargaining committee reached a collective agreement they were happy with. A vote was held by the workers to ratify this new collective agreement beginning on 24 November 2022. On 4 December when the voting period ended, 73% of the workers had voted to ratify the agreement.
The new agreement included a flat $1 per hour raise for all workers, which is about a 3.59% raise annually for the average worker. It did not, however, include any staffing level guarantees as the union had hoped for. The President of the Ontario School Board Council of Unions Laura Walton who was leading the bargaining said that she was not happy with that aspect of the agreement.

The Pipestone Indian School Superintendent's House served as the home of the superintendent of the Pipestone Indian School from its construction in 1907 to the closure of the school in 1953. It then served as a private residence until 1983, and is now used for storage by the present owner, Minnesota West Community and Technical College.
In 2006 the property was added to the 10 Most Endangered Historic Places list of the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota as it was considered to be in immediate need of stabilization.
The superintendent's house is the last of what was once a boarding school campus of more than 60 buildings, and one of only 11 built of red quartzite. The Indian school was built under the auspices of the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887, which sought to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream American culture. Education was recognized by the federal government as a way to increase control over them while at the same time separating them from their cultural ties. Children from many parts of the Midwestern United States and from tribes including the Dakota, Oneida, Pottawatomie, Arikaree, Sac and Fox were brought to the school, often with strong objections from their parents. With changing government policies the school declined and was closed in 1953.

The Barghest O' Whitby is an EP by My Dying Bride, released on 7 November 2011. It consists of a single, 27-minute track.
Background
Speaking to Lords of Metal, Aaron Stainthorpe said of the piece:
According to Stainthorpe, the artwork pictures the band's guitarist's Hamish Glencross' dog which he "embellished... a little bit in Photoshop. It is all my kind of artwork, pushed together to give a visual interpretation of what you might see in the lyrics. It is quite nice, no high art, but it is just an interpretation of what you are going to get inside the music".

William Atkins ( 1694) was an English quack of the Restoration period. He gained some fame and wealth for his supposed cure of gout, the subject of his only published work: A Discourse Shewing the Nature of the Gout (1694).
Life
Atkins originally lived on Old Bailey, but later moved to Whitechapel and then, by 1694, to Old Jewry. He worked as a doctor, handing out flyers advertising his medical abilities. According to one biographer, these bills "exceeded all others in extravagant assertions and impudence." Atkins professed to be able to, with his "renovating elixir", restore "pristine youth and vigour to the patient, however old or decayed". Atkins did not shy away from extravagant claims in his advertisements. Among the ailments he claimed to have the cure for were mental disability and infertility. He even recounted a tale in which he revived a woman from a "fit of the dead-palsy", after which she returned to perfect motor control. He described himself as a modern-day Solomon.
Atkins' main claim to fame was as a specialist doctor for gout. This specialty brought Atkins some renown and wealth, and was the subject of his only published work: A discourse shewing the nature of the gout with directions to such remedies as will immediately take away the pain (London, 1694). According to the title page, this book was printed for Thomas Fabian, to be sold at the Bible and Three Crowns, a bookshop at the lower end of Cheapside, but also up for sale at Atkins' house alongside his medicines. The advertisement to the work also noted, for any prospective clients, that "they may hear of me at any Bookseller's or Coffee-House near the Exchange, by the name of the Gout-Doctor". Atkins never purchased a coach for his own use, as would be expected of a man of his wealth, rather traveling on the public Hackney coaches in an uncharacteristic show of humility.
James Caulfield described Atkins vividly in his Remarkable Persons (1819):
Atkins apparently printed his own likeness on flyers for his medical services, depicted as surrounded by instruments and souvenirs of his medical profession, including rotten teeth, pills, and gallipots. However, the only extant portrait of Atkins is an engraving of a solemn-looking Atkins attached to his Discourse (1694). Historians of medicine Roy Porter and George Rousseau have praised the author of this portrait for his realism, depicting Atkins as a "harbinger of bad news, [a] Hermes of Death, not merely the author of A Discourse Shewing the Nature of the Gout". Though this portraitist's name is not given, the National Portrait Gallery has tentatively identified them as Dutch print artist Frederick Hendrik van Hove.

In general relativity, the Ehrenfest–Tolman effect (also known as the Tolman–Ehrenfest effect), created by Richard C. Tolman and Paul Ehrenfest, argues that temperature is not constant in space at thermal equilibrium, but varies with the spacetime curvature. Specifically, it depends on the spacetime metric. In a stationary spacetime with timelike Killing vector field , the temperature satisfies instead the Tolman-Ehrenfest relation: , where is the norm of the timelike Killing vector field.
This relationship leads to the concept of thermal time which has been considered as a possible basis for a fully general-relativistic thermodynamics. It has been shown that the Tolman–Ehrenfest effect can be derived by applying the equivalence principle to the concept that temperature is the rate of thermal time with respect to proper time.

Stenoterommata crassistyla is a species of mygalomorph spiders of Argentina, named after its wide embolus (stylus) in males, distinguishing this species from the sympatric S. tenuistyla. Its behaviour is similar to the latter species as well.

The Hampton Roads Admirals were a professional ice hockey team in the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL). They played in Norfolk, Virginia at the Norfolk Scope Arena from 1989 until 2000, when the owners purchased an expansion American Hockey League franchise that became the Norfolk Admirals. In 2015, the AHL Admirals were relocated and the ECHL returned to Norfolk with the current Norfolk Admirals.
Expansion
One-time Chicago Cubs and National League executive Blake Cullen was looking to expand into the Norfolk area for hockey. He arranged an exhibition game between the Virginia Lancers and the Carolina Thunderbirds (originally listed as the Carolina Cougars) to take place at the Norfolk Scope. Cullen said that he "would be happy with 3,000 fans and 4,000 or more would be very encouraging. " The game, played on a Wednesday night between a fourth and fifth place team, drew over 6,200 fans. Because of the turnout, the ECHL was willing to offer Cullen a new franchise for free. However, when a group of five businessmen offered the league $25,000 for territorial rights, Commissioner Pat Kelly told Cullen that he "was a man of his word" and offered the franchise to him for the same price, in which Cullen accepted.
A naming contest would be held in the summer of 1989. Bettie Ann denDekker would win the contest with the name "Admirals".
Inaugural Season
The Hampton Roads Admirals were introduced for the 1989-90 season and developed a rivalry with the Virginia Lancers of Vinton, Virginia throughout the season. The Admirals provided "attention and credibility to the ECHL by drawing an average of 5,885 fans in their inaugural season. Until the Admirals joined the league, owners considered 2,000 fans to be "a good crowd. They would make the post-season in their first season, going 29-29-2 before losing to the Erie Panthers three games to two in a five game series of the opening round of the Riley Cup playoffs. The credibility also caught the attention of two NHL teams: the Detroit Red Wings and the Washington Capitals. Detroit agreed to send eight prospects, while the Washington Capitals agreed to sending a goaltender and an unspecified number of players.
Championships
The Admirals were the flagship franchise of the ECHL, having won Jack Riley Cups in 1991 and 1992, and the Patrick J. Kelly Cup in 1998. The three championships won by the franchise is matched only by the Alaska Aces, Florida Everblades and South Carolina Stingrays. Two years later, the Admirals moved up to the American Hockey League (AHL).

Christine Vivienne Stephens is a New Zealand psychology academic. She is currently professor of psychology at Massey University based in the Palmerston North. She is one of the founding members of the International Society of Critical Health Psychology, which she has also chaired. She is currently the society's treasurer.
Career
Stephens completed a master's degree at Massey University on occupational overuse syndrome and psychosocial stressors, followed by a PhD on occupational overuse in the New Zealand police force in 1993. She joined the staff at Massey in 1996, rising to professor. Upon appointment she developed a course in health promotion, which was offered from 2001 and which she taught until 2016. During this time she authored a book on health promotion, entitled Health Promotion: A Psychosocial Approach and published in 2008. Stephens co-leads the cross-disciplinary Health and Ageing Research Team (HART) with Fiona Alpass, also at Massey. The team's major focus is a longitudinal study of quality of life in ageing (Health, Work and Retirement study), the New Zealand Longitudinal Study of Ageing. The research team has conducted bi-annual surveys of a population sample of older people for over 10 years. The research also includes in-depth qualitative studies on topics such as informal care-giving, palliative care, experiences of terminal illness, and housing needs.
Scholarship
Stephen's current research is located at the intersection of health psychology and gerontology. Her scholarly work is presently focused on the requirements of the ageing population and the need to provide information for supportive social policy and practice. She has made a significant theoretical contribution to this area, along with colleague Mary Breheny, an associate professor at Massey University and member to the Health and Ageing Research Team. Together they have drawn on Amartya Sen's well-known capability approach to develop a nuanced theoretical framework that transcends a purely biomedical view by recognizing ideas of resilience, as well as the experiences of older people themselves in determining what it means to age well.

The turnspit dog is an extinct short-legged, long-bodied dog bred to run on a wheel, called a turnspit or dog wheel, to turn meat. It is mentioned in Of English Dogs in 1576 under the name "Turnespete". William Bingley's Memoirs of British Quadrupeds (1809) also talks of a dog employed to help chefs and cooks. It is also known as the Kitchen Dog, the Cooking Dog, the Wheeling Dog, the Underdog and the Vernepator. In Linnaeus's 18th-century classification of dogs it is listed as (also used as Latin name for the Dachshund). The breed was lost, since it was considered to be such a lowly and common dog that no record was effectively kept of it. Some sources consider the Turnspit dog a kind of Glen of Imaal Terrier, while others make it a relative of the Welsh Corgi.
With advancements in kitchen technology, the need for Turnspit Dogs declined. Over time, they were no longer bred for their specific function, and their numbers dwindled, eventually leading to their extinction.
A preserved example of a turnspit dog is displayed at Abergavenny Museum in Abergavenny, Wales.
Work
The Vernepator Cur was bred to run on a wheel in order to turn meat so it would cook evenly. Due to the strenuous nature of the work, a pair of dogs would often be worked in shifts. According to John George Wood in The Illustrated Natural History (Mammalia) (1853):
The dogs were also taken to church to serve as foot warmers. One story says that during service at a church in Bath, the Bishop of Gloucester gave a sermon and uttered the line "It was then that Ezekiel saw the wheel...". At the mention of the word "wheel" several turnspit dogs, who had been brought to church as foot warmers, ran for the door.
Queen Victoria kept retired turnspit dogs as pets.
Appearance
Turnspit dogs were described as "long-bodied, crooked-legged and ugly dogs, with a suspicious, unhappy look about them". Delabere Blaine, a 19th-century veterinarian (and self-described "father of canine pathology"), classified the Turnspit dog as a variety of spaniel. Often they are shown with a white stripe down the center of their faces. According to Bingley's Memoirs of British Quadrupeds (1809):
The turnspit dog is again described by H.D. Richardson in his book Dogs; Their Origin and Varieties (1847):
The crooked leg is most likely owed to very distant ancestors as noted in Dogs And All About Them (1910), by Robert Leighton:
The gene for chondrodysplasia in various short-legged breeds has been confirmed to trace back to a single ancestral mutation.

The Karkas mountain chain ( Reshteh kuh-e Karkas) is a mountain range which is located almost in central Iran. Having a northwest-southeast direction, it is stretched from Kashan to Ardestan for more than 100 kilometres. With an elevation of 3895 metres, the highest peak of the Karkas Mountains is Mount Karkas which is situated close to Natanz.
Etymology
Although in Persian karkas means vulture, it is possible that the name of this mountain chain is derived from the settlement activity of the ancient Kassites in the area, because in the ancient Assyrian language Kar-Kassi means "town or land of the Kassites" (modified interpretation after Roman Ghirshman, 1954).
Geology
The Karkas Mountains were formed mainly during the Eocene volcanism. Located in the Sahand-Bazman volcanic and plutonic belt, this mountain range is composed predominantly of the Eocene volcanic rocks of the Tertiary volcanism. Aside from the Tertiary igneous (plutonic and volcanic) rocks, there are also pyroclastic and sedimentary rocks. There is a Precambrian-Paleozoic basement in the central part of this mountain chain.

Release
The film premiered at the Rome Film Festival in 2009 and was released at the Quad Cinema on September 10, 2010.
Reception
The film has a 63% percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on eight reviews.
Ronnie Scheib of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Afterlight proceeds without much discernible plot or character development, its objects and places exuding more backstory than its people, though Rip Torn as the father of the sole male protagonist lends a certain woodsy authenticity."
Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times also gave the film a positive review and wrote, “ Tempering the film’s oppressive emotions, the cinematographer Zoë White’s exquisite compositions charge leaden rain clouds and rustling branches with eerie life, and dusty indoor corners with shadowy secrets.”
Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, “ At the same time, it’s hard to embrace this glacially paced, symbolism-heavy film’s elusive — when it’s not being elliptical — story about a city couple’s escape to rural life.”

The name is derived from the three last psalms of the psalter (148, 149, 150), the Laudate psalms, which in former versions of the Lauds of the Roman Rite occurred every day, and in all of which the word laudate is repeated frequently. At first, the word Lauds designated only the end, that is to say, these three psalms. Little by little the Lauds was applied to the whole office.
History
Lauds, or the Morning Office or Office of Aurora, is one of the most ancient Offices and can be traced back to Apostolic times. The earliest evidence of Lauds appears in the second and third centuries in the Canons of Hippolytus and in writings by St. Cyprian, and the Apostolic Fathers. Descriptions during the fourth and fifth centuries appear in writings by John Cassian, St. Melania the Younger, St. Hilary, Eusebius, and in the Peregrinatio Ætheriae by St. John Chrysostom. During the 6th century St. Benedict gave a detailed description of them in his Rule. Gregory of Tours also made several allusions to this office, which he calls Matutini hymni.
According to John T. Hedrick, in Introduction to the Roman Breviary, Lauds were not originally a distinct canonical hour but Matins and Lauds formed a single office, the Night Office terminating only at dawn. The monks prayed Matins during the night and said Lauds in the early dawn. In the 5th and 6th century the Lauds were called Matutinum. By the Middle Ages, the midnight office was referred to as Nocturns, and the morning office as Matins. The lengthy night office later became the liturgical hour of Matins and was divided into two or three nocturns; the morning office became Lauds.
After St. Pius X’s reform, Lauds was reduced to four psalms or portions of psalms and an Old Testament canticle, putting an end to the custom of adding the last three psalms of the Psalter (148-150) at the end of Lauds every day.
Symbolism and significance
This is the Office of daybreak and hence its symbolism is of Christ's resurrection. According to Dom Cabrol, "Lauds remains the true morning prayer, which hails in the rising sun, the image of Christ triumphant—consecrates to Him the opening day." The Office of Lauds reminds the Christian that the first act of the day should be praise, and that one's thoughts should be of God before facing the cares of the day.
Liturgia horarum (1970)
In the edition of the Roman breviary of 1970 which was revised according to the mandate of the Second Vatican Council, Lauds (Latin Laudes matutinae, pl.) has the following structure:
The liturgical opening "O God, come to our aid: O Lord, make haste to help us" (unless Lauds are the first prayer of the day, in this case it is "Lord, open my lips and my mouth will proclaim your praise")
The hymn, which is optional when combining with Matins
A morning psalm, an Old Testament canticle, and a psalm of praise all of them with their antiphons
A reading according to the liturgical day, season or feast
A responsorial song or a short responsory
The Benedictus, with its antiphon
Preces
The Lord's Prayer
Concluding prayer
Blessing and dismissal (if prayed a cleric is present), otherwise the celebration is concluded with "The Lord bless us…"
All psalms and canticles are concluded with the doxology, "Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen." (The current translation of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, given here, differs from the traditional English translation used in other countries.) The psalms and readings are distributed in a four-week cycle, which forms the heart of the prayer.
Variations
On feasts of saints the various parts of the hour may be taken from the office of the saint being celebrated or from common texts for the saints. If the feast has the rank of "memorial", any parts specifically provided for the saint (the "proper" parts) are used, while the other parts come from the weekday, with exception of the hymn (which may be optionally taken from the common texts), the antiphon for the Benedictus (which must be taken from the proper or the common), the intercession (which may be optionally taken from the common texts), and the closing prayer (which should be proper, or if missing, common).
For a solemnity all texts are taken from the proper, or if some part is missing, from the common. On these days, the morning psalm is always Psalm 63, verses 2-9, the canticle is the "Song of the Three Holy Children" (Daniel 3:57-88 and 56), and the psalm of praise is Psalm 149. On Corpus Christi, the hymn O Salutaris Hostia is sung.
In some seasons of the liturgical year, such as Lent or Eastertide, many of the prayers are proper for each day of the season. In Holy Week, the octaves of Christmas and Easter, and the last eight days of Advent, celebration of feast days is somewhat restricted. On some of these days, a memorial may be celebrated as a commemoration, adding an extra prayer at the end of the hour, while on others the memorial is completely removed from the calendar.
Other rites of the Western Church
In the Ambrosian Office, and also in the Mozarabic, Lauds retained a few of the principal elements of the Roman Lauds: the Benedictus, canticles from the Old Testament, and the laudate psalms, arranged, however, in a different order (cf. Germain Morin, op. cit. in bibliography). In the Benedictine Liturgy, the Office of Lauds resembles the Roman Lauds very closely, not only in its use of the canticles but also in its general construction.
Armenian liturgy
The Armenian Morning (or Early) Hour (Armenian: Առաւաւտեան Ժամ aṛawotean zham) corresponds to the office of Lauds in the Roman Liturgy, both in its position in the daily cycle and in its importance. This is the most complex of all Armenian liturgies in terms of the variations in the order and text of the liturgy depending on the day of the week, liturgical tone, commemoration of the day, and liturgical season.
Many manuscripts and printed editions of the Armenian Book of Hours (Armenian: Ժամագիրք Zhamagirk`) state that the Morning Hour commemorates the Son of God, with some manuscripts adding, "at the time he was seized by the Jews." This is in reference to the story of the arrest and interrogation of Jesus found in the New Testament Gospels.
Outline of the Morning Service
In the Morning Hour for Sundays and Festal Days there are seven slots into which hymnody may be inserted which reflects the theme of the day. Each of these seven slots is associated with a Psalm or Canticle from the Old or New Testaments.
Eastern Christianity
Among the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite, the office comparable to the Lauds of the Roman Rite is the Orthros. It also contains the three Laudate psalms (148-150), with which it traditionally closes.
Lutheran and Anglican traditions
Like the other canonical hours, Lauds is observed by Christians in other denominations, notably those of the Lutheran Churches. In the Anglican Communion, elements of the office have been folded into the service of Morning Prayer as celebrated according to the Book of Common Prayer, and the hour itself is observed by many Anglican religious orders.

SS Doric was a British ocean liner operated by White Star Line. She was put into service in 1883. Built by the Harland and Wolff shipyards in Belfast, she was the sister ship of the Ionic which was put into service a few months earlier. Although the original purpose of the construction of the two ships was not known with certainty, both began their careers chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Co. which operated them on the route from London to Wellington.
As early as 1885, the Doric, like her sister ship and the Coptic, was assigned to the same route, but this time for the joint service provided by the White Star Line and the Shaw, Savill & Albion Line. The ship carried out this mission without experiencing any major incident, until she was overhauled in 1895 in order to modernize it. Deemed unnecessary on the New Zealand route, the Doric was chartered by the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company between Hong Kong and San Francisco.
It was in 1906 that the Doric made her last crossing under this contract, while the O&O gradually withdrew from the market. She was then sold to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company which employed her on the same route, this time under the name of Asia. It was within the framework of this service that the ship ran aground on rocks on 23 April 1911. Her passengers came out unharmed from the accident, but the ship was quickly looted and set on fire by local fishermen.
History
Construction and service to New Zealand
The ship was constructed by Harland and Wolff in Belfast and was launched in 1883. Doric was the sister ship to the . These were enlarged versions of two ships commissioned in 1881, the Arabic and the Coptic. The ship was constructed of steel, a first for the ship building company, whose previous designs had been constructed only in iron. The vessel was the first White Star Line ship to bear the name Doric, with a later vessel built in 1923 also sharing the name. The Doric was launched on 10 March 1883; with her sister ship twin, launched two months earlier. She is one of the first ships whose machines were built by the shipyards themselves. These were, until then, built by outside workshops. On the following 4 July, the ship left Belfast for London, making a stopover at Holyhead to embark Thomas Henry Ismay, president of the White Star Line, and several dignitaries accompanying him to visit the ship.
Ismay's plans when he ordered these ships were unknown, but it was likely that he originally planned the project for the route to New Zealand. At that time, in fact, two companies, the Shaw, Savill Line and the Albion Line had just merged to form the Shaw, Savill & Albion Line to compete with the New Zealand Shipping Company, which was preparing to have five ships delivered brand new. The route from London to Wellington therefore seems poised to prosper. Following the amalgamation in November 1882, the owners of the Shaw, Savill & Albion Line entered into negotiations with Ismay to plan a joint service, benefiting from the experience of the White Star Line. An agreement was quickly formed between the two companies
The Doric then continued her charter contract throughout 1884, and joined the joint service on 6 January 1885, on the Wellington route, passing on the outward journey through Tenerife, Cape Town and Tanzania, and to return via Cape Horn, Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro. Crews were provided by White Star, but ships were managed by Shaw, Savill and Albion. The crossings were calm and uneventful.
In 1893, the White Star acquired a new ship on the route, the Gothic. The Doric and the Coptic were then no longer useful on this route where the traffic was down.
Service on the Pacific and fate
In May 1895, the Doric was returned to Harland & Wolff shipyards where her facilities were improved, and its machines changed to the more economical alternative triple expansion machines, which increased her tonnage and speed. In 1896, Doric was again transferred, this time to the Joint White Star and Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company service running between San Francisco and Hong Kong. The New York Times reported on 6 July 1902 that Doric had arrived in San Francisco with a particularly large cargo of 2,693 tons, which included the largest ever shipment of opium, at the time, of 33,210 pounds, and 129,492 chests of tea.
Doric left San Francisco for her last White Star and Occidental & Oriental voyage on 8 August 1906. In 1906 Doric was sold to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for £50,000, who renamed her Asia. Still assigned to the same route, the ship made her first crossing on 11 June 1907 under her new colors, after a rapid overhaul. On 23 April 1911 Doric ran aground in foggy conditions and was wrecked near Taichow Islands, Wenzhou, South China. Once all of the crew and passengers had been safely rescued, the ship was looted by local fishermen who subsequently burnt the remains of the vessel.
Legacy
The ship in Rudyard Kipling's poem "McAndrew's Hymn" was inspired by the Doric; in a letter to illustrator Howard Pyle he wrote "-but it may help you a little to know that the ship "McAndrew’s Hymn" belongs to is the old Doric, once an Atlantic White Star I think, and now a Shaw, Savill, Albion boat running to New Zealand via the Cape of Good Hope and home round the horn..."
Characteristics
The Doric was a slightly larger version of the Arabic and the Coptic, measuring 134 meters long by 13.5 meters wide; she differed from the Ionic only by her slightly lower gross tonnage of 4,744 tons. However, this was increased to 4,784 tons after an overhaul. Like the two previous ships, she was designed to carry cargo in good quantity, as well as 70 first-class passengers. She could also embark 900 emigrants, and had a refrigerated hold intended for the transport of meat.
Externally, the ship was, like all ships of the time built for the White Star Line, an elongated ship, provided with a fairly low funnel in the colors of the company (brown ocher surmounted by a black cuff). The funnel was surrounded by four masts that could carry sails. The ship was mainly propelled by steam, her machines being among the first to be built by the Harland & Wolff shipyards after those of the Ionic. They were alternative compound machines operating a propeller capable of propelling the ship at 13 knots. In 1895, they were replaced by triple expansion machines, which were more modern and economical, and allowed her to reach a speed of 14 knots.

Marge Organo is a Filipina glass artist.
She was born and raised in Ilocos Sur.
Life
Organo's interest in art started at a young age, however, she never fully dedicated herself to it. After graduating from college, she managed her family's pharmaceutical business. She went to a semi-retirement home in 2014 and decided to take art classes from painter Fernando Sena. Organo explored various forms of art — such as abstract painting, tile mosaic, furniture upholstery, interior and exterior design and construction — until she came to the conclusion that she wants to pursue a field where women are sparse: sculpture.
Education and career
Organo took up formal lessons in sculpture and studied clay, welding, cold casting and bronze casting. She began exhibiting and eventually decided to hand over the management of her business to her son.
Organo studied at the Corning Museum of Glass (CMOG) in 2015. The following year, she was granted a scholarship.
Organo attended the Secondary School of Glassmaking in Kamenicky Senov, the oldest glass school in the world, in 2018. There, she learned a novel technique in glass casting and mold making.
Employing all that she learned, Organo held several solo exhibitions as she returned to the Philippines. In 2019, she decided to return to CMOG to further her skills. She studied lifecasting.

Marriott Vacation Club is the primary timeshare brand of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation. The brand comprises around 70 Marriott Vacation Club properties throughout the United States, Caribbean, Central America, Europe, and Asia. Marriott Vacation Club resorts consist of one, two, and three-bedroom villas, with more than 400,000 owners.
History
Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. was established in 1984 (on April 17) on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with the acquisition of American Resorts and its 184 villas on Hilton Head Island, which later became the Marriott's Monarch at Sea Pines resort. In 1987, Marriott Rewards (introduced in 1983) started a partnership with the Marriott Ownership Resorts. In 1990, Marriott begins an exchange partnership with Interval International (ILG, Inc.), allowing Owners to trade weeks at their home resort for access to other resort destinations worldwide. In 1995, Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. was renamed, becoming Marriott Vacation Club International (MVCI) reflecting the company's evolution from real estate development to vacations. In 1996, Marriott Vacation Club International (MVCI) opened its first European property called Marriott's Marbella Beach Club in Costa del Sol, Spain. In 1997, Marriott Vacation Club International (MVCI) opened its first Caribbean property called Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club in Palm Beach, Aruba. In 1999, Marriott introduced The Ritz-Carlton Club (Ritz-Carlton Destination Club since April 2009), a luxury fractional ownership offering. In 2001, Marriott Vacation Club International (MVCI) opened its first Asia property called Marriott's Phuket Beach Club in Phuket, Thailand. In 2001, the first property of Marriott Grand Residence Club (Grand Residences by Marriott since 2006) opened in South Lake Tahoe. In 2007, Marriott Vacation Club International began to market its core timeshare brand as Marriott Vacation Club.
In 2010, the Marriott Vacation Club Destinations program was introduced. The Destinations program allows owners to redeem Vacation Club Points for stays at Marriott Vacation Club resorts, Marriott hotels, travel packages and resorts through Interval International.
In 2016, Marriott Vacation Club introduced the Marriott Vacation Club Pulse brand. These properties, set in urban locations, are designed for shorter stays. The brand launched with locations in New York City, San Diego, South Beach, Washington, DC and Boston.
As of 2018, Marriott Vacation Club is one of 4 brands that includes Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club and Grand Residences by Marriott. There are around 70 Marriott Vacation Club branded resorts throughout the world, including three resorts in Spain (Costa del Sol, Mallorca and Marbella) one in France (near Paris) and three in Thailand (one in Bangkok and two in Phuket).
Structure
Originally, Marriott Vacation Club properties were sold as weeks. A "fixed week" granted the owner the right to use their villa during a specific week each year (such as week 52, which includes New Year's Eve), or the right to use their villa during a specific "season" (defined on a per-resort basis), which granted the owner the right to reserve their villa for any available week within that season. Weeks at some properties could be split, enabling a non-consecutive four-night stay and three-night stay. Weeks could be exchanged for Marriott Rewards (now Marriott Bonvoy) points. Finally, owners of multi-room villas, such as a two-bedroom lockoff, could split the unit itself and book each half as a separate reservation. Notably, owners cannot reserve villas at other properties without exchanging them through Interval International (II). "Weeks owners," as they are called, pay annual maintenance fees that cover maintenance and refurbishment at the resort.
The Marriott Vacation Club Destinations program changed this structure. Owners now purchase points at a particular property, which can be "spent" to reserve a villa for a given number of nights during a given season. Villa "pricing," in points, differs based on the size of the unit and the season. Points can also be used to reserve villas at other properties, without having to exchange through II. "Points owners," as they are called, pay annual dues, which cover maintenance and refurbishment, much like maintenance fees for weeks owners.
"Weeks" owners can "enroll" their week(s), for a fee, into the Destinations program, effectively converting their week(s) into points on an annual basis.
Marriott Vacation Club continues to sell weeks at some properties, particularly when they acquire weeks from owners wishing to sell them. Marriott Vacation Club has a contractual "right of first refusal" on all resales. If an owner obtains a purchase agreement for their week(s), Marriott Vacation Club can choose to pay the agreed-upon purchase price to obtain the week(s), effectively cancelling the sale. This approach can have the effect of keeping an owner from selling for below market value, since Marriott Vacation Club can effectively take the week(s) "off the market."
Each Marriott Vacation Club property effectively has up to two inventories of villas. Older properties' inventories consist mainly of "weeks owners." Newer properties' inventories consist mainly of points, wherein all available points are owned by a Marriott Vacation Club-controlled trust, and made available to owners who purchased under the Destinations program. Many properties have inventory of both weeks and points. It is important for owners to understand that these two inventories do not intermingle. For example, suppose an owner purchased 2,000 points at Property A, and wished to occupy a villa at Property B. Property B is an older property that was 100% sold-out as weeks. The owner will probably be unsuccessful, because there is no "points inventory" at Property B from which to fulfill their request. It is important for prospective owners to fully understand the differences between the inventories and to ensure their purchase will afford them the occupancy they desire.
The creation of the Destinations program has been controversial and resulted in lawsuits.

Cedrela fissilis is a species of tree in the family Meliaceae. It is native to Central and South America, where it is distributed from Costa Rica to Argentina. Its common names include Argentine cedar, cedro batata, cedro blanco, "Acaju-catinga" (its Global Trees entry) and cedro colorado.
Once a common lowland forest tree, this species has been overexploited for timber and is now considered to be endangered. A few populations are stable, but many have been reduced, fragmented, and extirpated. The wood is often sold in batches with Cuban cedar (Cedrela odorata).

Roland Worthington (September 22, 1817 – March 20, 1898) was an American newspaper publisher and political figure who served as publisher of the Boston Evening Traveller and Collector of Customs for the Port of Boston.
Early life
Worthington was born on September 22, 1817, in Agawam, Massachusetts (then part of Springfield) to Jonathan and Fannie (Smith) Worthington. He attended public school until the age of 12, when he went to work and continued his education in various ways. In March 1837 he moved to Boston, where he worked in the counting room of the Boston Daily Advertiser. Worthington remained in the business department of the Daily Advertiser until 1843, when he moved to Europe, as it was believed the Mediterranean climate would improve his poor health. After leaving Europe, Worthington spent one winter in the southern United States before returning to Boston in June 1845. Upon his return, Worthington took control of the Boston Evening Traveller. Under Worthington's management, the Evening Traveller became the first Boston paper to employ Newspaper hawkers to sell papers in the streets rather than rely solely on subscriptions. After learning of the overthrow of Louis Philippe I in the French Revolution of 1848, the Evening Traveller became the first Boston paper to report the news, as Worthington elected to have special editions published while his competitors waited until the following day because they were subscription only. The Evening Traveller also became the first paper in Boston to use headline posters to advertise their papers. In April 1852, Worthington relocated the Evening Traveller office from 47 Court Street to the Old State House. In 1854 the paper moved into its own building on the corner of State and Congress, which became known as the Traveller Building. Following Worthington's purchase of the building, it became known as the Worthington Building.
When Worthington joined the Republican Party, the Evening Traveller became a Republican paper. This put Worthington in conflict with his editor, Ferdinand Andrews, who supported Daniel Webster and the Cotton Whigs. Worthington replaced Andrews with twenty-two year old Manton Marble. In 1857, Samuel Bowles joined the paper. Marble and Bowles were unable to work together and Marble left for New York City. Bowles took over as managing editor on April 13, 1857, and merged the Evening Traveller with the Boston Atlas, Boston Bee, and the Independent Chronicle. The merger was a failure and placed Worthington and his partners in debt. Bowles left the paper without notice on August 10, 1857, and returned to Springfield.
Politics
Worthington was one of the first members of the Free Soil Party. Throughout his association with the paper, Worthington managed the political course of the Evening Traveler. When he joined the Republican Party, the Evening Traveller became a Republican paper.
State and local politics
In 1859, Worthington represented the 4th Norfolk District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. In 1860, the Evening Traveller was the first paper to suggest John Albion Andrew for Governor. From 1869 to 1872, Worthington served on the staff of Governor William Claflin. In 1874, Worthington was a member of the Boston Board of Aldermen.
In the 1879 gubernatorial election, the paper broke with Boston's other Republican papers and pushed for the candidacy of John Davis Long. Long went on to win the nomination and defeated Democrat Benjamin Butler. In the 1882 Massachusetts gubernatorial election, the Traveler backed William W. Crapo over Robert R. Bishop. Bishop won the nomination, but lost the election to Butler. In the 1883 gubernatorial election, the Traveler was the only paper to back George D. Robinson, as Worthington believed Robinson to be the only Republican speaker effective enough to beat Butler on the stump. Robinson won the nomination and defeated Butler.
National politics
Worthington was a supporter of Chester A. Arthur and fought back against Half-Breed attacks against Arthur following his nomination as Vice President of the United States. The Evening Traveler was very favorable towards Arthur throughout his presidency and in April 1882, Arthur nominated Worthington for the position of Collector of Customs for the Port of Boston. Worthington's nomination was opposed on political grounds by Massachusetts Senator George Frisbie Hoar, but on May 15, 1882, Worthington was confirmed by the United States Senate 38 votes to 14. Prior to the 1884 Republican National Convention, the Evening Traveler urged the New England delegates to back Arthur over James G. Blaine and George F. Edmunds, as Worthington believed Blaine could not win the general election and Edmunds was not a strong enough candidate to defeat Blaine. Worthington's predictions were correct; Edmunds was unable to defeat Blaine and Blaine went on to lose to Democrat Grover Cleveland. Worthington left the collector's office in 1885 and he returned to the Evening Traveler full time.
Personal life and death
On April 26, 1854, Worthington married Abbie Bartlett Adams. They had four children (two sons and two daughters). Worthington was a member of the First Religious Society of Roxbury. He died at his home in Roxbury on March 20, 1898, and was buried at Forest Hills Cemetery.

The current example uses spring-cloud-function framework as its core which allows users to only worry about functional aspects of
their requirement while taking care-off non-functional aspects. For more information on Spring Cloud Function please visit
our path_to_url page].
The example consists of a Spring boot configuration class
path_to_url
which contains a sample function which you can interact with following via RSocket and Apache Kafka.
### From RSocket to Apache Kafka
While very similar to path_to_url example
there are few interesting variants here worth discussing.
Here were introducing a different delivery mechanism. But what really makes it even more interesting is the fact that unlike Apache Kafka or AMQP there is no protocol
binding defined for RSocket. So we will communicate Cloud Event in a structured-mode where the entire event is encoded into some type of structure (e.g., JSON).
Few implementation details are also defer in this example from the others. However these details are not relevant in any way to Cloud Event, rather
demonstration of other mechanisms you may chose to write your code. For example well be using `Consumer` instead of a `Function` and will be manually
sending an output message using `StreamBridge` component provided by Spring Cloud Stream framework.
So, here is our application code
```
@Bean
public Consumer<Person> hire(StreamBridge streamBridge) {
return person -> {
Employee employee = new Employee(person);
streamBridge.send("hire-out-0", CloudEventMessageBuilder.withData(employee)
.setSource("path_to_url")
.setId("1234567890")
.build());
};
}
```
Note how were utiliziing CloudEventMessageBuilder to generate output Message as Cloud Event.
What we will be sending over RSocket is structured representation of Cloud Event:
```
String payload = "{\n" +
" \"specversion\" : \"1.0\",\n" +
" \"type\" : \"org.springframework\",\n" +
" \"source\" : \"path_to_url",\n" +
" \"id\" : \"A234-1234-1234\",\n" +
" \"datacontenttype\" : \"application/json\",\n" +
" \"data\" : {\n" +
" \"firstName\" : \"John\",\n" +
" \"lastName\" : \"Doe\"\n" +
" }\n" +
"}";
```
So, the entire Cloud Event is represented as JSON sent over RSocket to the hire() function.
```
rsocketRequesterBuilder.tcp("localhost", 55555)
.route("hire") // target function
.data(payload). // data we're sending
.send()
```
You can run the demo using path_to_url

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand (Abrv: MFA; , ) is the principal governmental department in charge of foreign relations for Thailand. The ministry is headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is also a member of the Cabinet of Thailand. The minister is appointed by the prime minister. The ministry is charged with formulating and executing foreign policies for the Kingdom of Thailand. The ministry manages and maintains Thai diplomatic missions around the globe.
History
Prior to the creation of the ministry, much of the country's foreign relations were handled by the absolute monarchs of the day. During the Kingdom of Ayutthaya foreign relations were handled by the "Krom Phra Khlang" ( (or the Treasury Department). The head of the department was known as "Phra Khlang" ( and occasionally referred to as "Berguelang" or "Barcelon" by foreign authors. A notable Phra Khlang Kosathibodi during the reign of King Narai was Kosa Lek, who was the elder brother of the famous 17th-century Siamese ambassador to France Kosa Pan. Kosa Pan also became a Phra Khlang Kosathibodi upon the reign of Petracha. Soon after, a sub-department called "Kromma Tha" (, "Port Department") was created to deal with foreigners.
During the Bangkok Period most of these features were retained. For instance, the Chau Phaya-Phraklang in his capacity as Minister of State on behalf of Jessadabodindra negotiated the Siamese-American Treaty of Amity and Commerce of 1833 with Edmund Roberts in his capacity as Minister of the United States on behalf of President Andrew Jackson.
In 1840, King Mongkut, the next king, founded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Siam, which was administered directly by the king. The responsibilities and roles of the old "Krom" were shifted to this ministry. Chao Phraya Bhanuwong became the first Foreign Minister of Siam in 1871, appointed by King Chulalongkorn. In 1881 Prince Devavongse Varoprakarn was appointed to replace him. Known today as the "father of Thai diplomacy" he reorganized and modernized the ministry to meet 19th century standards. The ministry was then permanently established at Saranrom Palace, east of the Grand Palace. The ministry was divided into seven divisions:
Senabodi Division (Ministerial Division)
Under-Secretary Division
Translation Division
Reception Division
Accounts Division
Filing Division
Diplomatic Division
Consular Division
Foreign affairs advisers
From 1892 to 1924, the Siamese government retained the professional legal services of lawyers skilled in international law.
Gustave Rolin-Jaequemyns, an international legal scholar, served as Adviser-General from 1892 to 1902.
Edward Strobel, a Harvard Law School Bemis Professor of International Law, served as American Adviser-General from 1906 until his death in 1908. He was followed by Harvard Law Professors Jens Westengard, Francis B. Sayre and Eldon James.
Reorganization
After the Revolution of 1932, the ministry came under civilian control and the minister was made a member of the constitutional government of Siam. The first minister under this new system was Phraya Sri Visarn Vacha.
In 1992, the ministry office was moved to Si Ayutthaya Road, Thung Phaya Thai Subdistrict, Ratchathewi District, Bangkok in the area that used to be the headquarter of Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO), the Ministry also has an office building of the Department of Consular Affairs at Chaengwattana Road.

Aculus truncatus is a species of mite which causes galls on the leaves of purple willow (Salix purpurea). It was first described by Alfred Nalepa in 1892.
Description
The gall is a short, narrow twisted, downward roll on the leaves of purple willow (S. purpurea). It is lined with red hairs and contains mites.
Similar looking galls have also been found on common osier (S. viminalis) and on sallows, which could also be A. truncatus. The mites should be identified by an expert.
A. truncatus has also been known to use Salix alba as a host.

is a 1982 Japanese film directed by Kinji Fukasaku, with art direction by Akira Takahashi. It was chosen as the Best Film at the Japan Academy Prize ceremony.
Plot
Ginshiro Kuraoka, an actor for Toei, becomes jealous of the number of close-ups his co-star Tachibana is getting as they are filming a samurai film. After a fan named Tomoko has Ginshiro sign her inner thigh, Ginshiro sends his lackey Yasu Muraoka after her to obtain her phone number.
Ginshiro drowns his sorrows in alcohol, then Yasu brings him home, where the actress Konatsu is waiting for him. Konatsu is pregnant with Ginshiro's child and is unwilling to get an abortion for fear that she may not have another chance to have a child, so Ginshiro convinces Yasu to marry her. Yasu stamps the marriage certificate but Konatsu is disgusted with him for letting Ginshiro walk all over him. Yasu reveals a poster on his wall of her first film and says that he has been a fan for ten years. She tries to leave but collapses from toxemia. Yasu tells the doctors that he is the father of the unborn child.
Yasu begins taking on multiple stunt roles to pay for the expenses and sustains multiple injuries. When Tomoko seems like she might leave him, Ginshiro asks Konatsu to tell her how wonderful he is, which she does. Konatsu and Yasu find happiness but Tomoko does not take care of Ginshiro the way that Konatsu used to so he proposes to Konatsu with a 30-million-yen four-carat ring that he sold his house to buy. When she rejects him, he drives off set. Konatsu and Yasu get married.
When Ginshiro does not show up to film his scenes, Yasu finds him hiding in a warehouse. Ginshiro confesses that Tachibana took his place as the January model for a new model, that the film he was to shoot in the summer has been cancelled, and that he and Tomoko have broken up. Tachibana is gaining more screen time while Ginshiro's character is being killed off and his scenes are being cut, including his final fight scene on a giant 30-foot staircase because no stunt performer can be found who is willing to take the fall down it.
Yasu volunteers to take the fall down the staircase. He receives one million yen in hazard pay after signing a release to free the studio from liability, then takes out a 30-million-yen life insurance policy on himself. Konatsu asks him not to perform the stunt but he insists on it. After Yasu leaves to perform the stunt, Konatsu packs her things and leaves. Studio executives and theater owners visit to watch the stunt, so Yasu places a nail on the stairs and steps on it to see how everyone caters to him. When he demands that his cigarette must be lit by an expensive lighter, Ginshiro uses an expensive one to light it before slapping Yasu. Yasu thanks him profusely and says that he will work on his performance, so he postpones the stunt until after dinner. Yasu performs the stunt and is seriously injured but uses his remaining strength to crawl up the stairs again for a memorable death scene as Ginshiro cheers him on. Konatsu arrives in time to see the ambulance taking Yasu away.
Konatsu gives birth, then opens her eyes to see Yasu holding the baby. They agree to stay together as a family, then the director yells "Cut!" and the walls are pulled away to reveal the cast and crew of the film.

James Carson Breckinridge (September 13, 1877 – March 2, 1942) was a lieutenant general of the United States Marine Corps. He was the son of Clifton Rhodes Breckinridge and grandson of Vice President and Confederate Major General John C. Breckinridge. He was a member of the prominent Breckinridge family.
Military career
Breckinridge attended the University of Tennessee in 1897 and 1898. He was appointed as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in 1899 to fight in the Spanish–American War, seeing service at Cavite in the Philippines. He was promoted to captain on July 23, 1901, serving as the commander of Marine detachments at sea through that decade. He served ashore in Panama and Nicaragua from late 1909 to early 1911, months later, temporary expeditionary duty in Cuba. In April 1914, he participated in the United States occupation of Veracruz while in command of the Marine attachment from the . He received a commendation for his conduct in battle.
Breckinridge served during World War I as naval attaché at many diplomatic posts from April 1916 to September 1918, to include Petrograd, Russia, Christiania, Norway, Copenhagen, Denmark, and Stockholm, Sweden. His service would earn him the Navy Cross, for "distinguished service in the line of his profession as Naval Attache to the American Legations at Christiana and Stockholm, and for a time also at Copenhagen. At all of these posts of duty, the service of information established and conducted was of great value to the United States and allied Powers." He was promoted to major on June 12, 1916, to lieutenant colonel two months later, and to colonel on July 1, 1918.
From February 1919 to October 1920, he commanded the 15th Regiment, 2nd Brigade of Marines, in the occupation of the Dominican Republic, and from October 4, 1920 to May 5, 1921, was in command of the Guardia Nacional Dominicana, and he received the Dominican Republic's Order of Military Merit. In 1922, he returned to the United States to attend the Army War College, then commanded Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C. from August 1923 to September 1925.
From 1925 to 1927, Breckinridge was attached to the USS Seattle as Fleet Marine Officer and aide on the Staff of the Commander in Chief, United States Fleet. He next served as chief of staff for, and later commanded the 1st Marine Regiment at Marine Barracks, Quantico, Virginia from December 1, 1927 to December 25, 1929. In July 1928, he was placed in command of the Marine Corps Schools at Quantico.
From January 28, 1930 until March 13, 1932, Breckinridge commanded the Marine Detachment at the American Legation, Peiping, China, and was promoted to brigadier general on October 31, 1931. Following this, he returned to Quantico to command Marine Corps Schools again until January 6, 1935, having been promoted to major general on February 1, 1935. He was ordered to San Francisco, California, to assume command of the Department of the Pacific until June 24, 1937, when he again returned to Quantico as commander until September 1939. He then commanded Marine Barracks, Parris Island, South Carolina until his retirement effective October 1, 1941, having attained the statutory retiring age of 64 years. He received a promotion to lieutenant general at that date in recognition of his decorated service as a combat veteran.
Retirement and death
He retired on October 1, 1941, and returned to his home in the Shenandoah Valley. After his death, according to his wishes, he was buried in the Breckinridge family plot at Lexington Cemetery in Lexington, Kentucky.
Awards and honors
The and the James Carson Breckinridge Professional Library at the Marine Corps University is named for him, as a tribute for his efforts to prepare the next generation of Marines for World War II.

Sultan Muhammad Zahir ud-din, better known as well Mirza Mughal (1817 – 23 September 1857), was a Mughal prince. He played a significant role during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. He was one of the Mughal princes shot dead at one of the gates of Old Delhi, which gate thereafter came to be known as "Khooni Darwaza" ( 'bloody gate' or 'murder gate').
Early life
Mirza Mughal was the fifth son of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the 20th and last Mughal emperor. His mother, Sharif-ul-Mahal Sayyidini, came from an aristocratic Sayyid family that claimed descent from Muhammad. His mother was descended from Abdullah Shah Ghazi who was from the Hasanid line of the Ahl-Al-Bayt
Following the death in 1856 of his elder step-brother Mirza Fakhru, Mirza Mughal became the eldest surviving legitimately born son of Bahadur Shah Zafar. However, the British refused to recognize anybody as heir to the throne of Delhi, and indicated that the monarchy would be abolished following Zafar's death.
War of 1857
In May 1857, sepoys in the service of the East India Company rebelled against their British officers and streamed into Delhi. They made straight for the palace, apprised the Emperor of their grievances against their British superiors, affirmed their allegiance to him, and sought sanctuary and leadership. A few days later, after taking stock of the situation, Mirza Mughal and some of his half-brothers petitioned their father to be appointed in charge of the rebel troops. Their plea was initially refused but later granted, and Mirza Mughal, as the senior-most legitimate prince, was designated commander-in-chief. Though the emperor seems to have opposed the cold-blooded killing of the European prisoners, the princes also seem to have been involved in the act. Mirza Mughal had absolutely no training or experience for his new office. However, he energetically sought to organize the troops, make arrangements for their billeting and provisioning, and bring a semblance of order to the edgy city. His inexperience soon became apparent, and he was upstaged a few weeks later by the arrival of a large force of mutineers from Bareilly, led by Bakht Khan, formerly an Indian officer (Subedar) in the service of the East India Company. Bakht Khan had earned a reputation as an artillery officer during the Afghan wars. Shortly after his arrival, the emperor appointed Bakht Khan commander-in-chief and left Mirza Mughal in charge of supplies. A few weeks later, following another reshuffle of offices, Mirza Mughal was given charge of administering the city of Delhi.
Capture
By the middle of September 1857, the disorganized rebellion had run its course as far as the city of Delhi was concerned. British forces had reclaimed control of the areas surrounding Delhi and were massed on the ridge overlooking the city for a final assault on the city, which was being rapidly abandoned by its citizens, who fled mainly to their villages in the countryside. As the British took control of the city, Emperor Bahadur Shah II (aged 82) left the Red Fort and took refuge in Humayun’s Tomb, which at that time lay outside Delhi. With him were Mirza Mughal and two other princes (another son, Mirza Khizr Sultan, and a grandson, Mirza Abu Bakr). Their whereabouts was reported by spies to Major Hodson, who sent them a message saying that the party had no hope of escape and should surrender. They refused to surrender.
The next morning, Hodson went to the tomb with one hundred Indian sowars (cavalrymen) and demanded the unconditional surrender of the Emperor and princes. The situation became known to people of nearby villages, and a substantial crowd gathered, many of whom were equipped with whatever arms (farm-knives, sickles and axes) they normally kept. Resistance at this point was never the plan of the Emperor, who had come to the tomb of his illustrious forebear to pray and grieve, and perhaps in the hope that the sanctity of the tomb would provide a sanctuary for himself and his surviving family. Hodson sent two Indian aides (Rajab Ali and Ilahe Bakhsh) into the garden tomb to negotiate with the Emperor. Bahadur Shah sent a response to Hodson offering the surrender of his immediate party on condition that his life would be spared. Hodson explicitly agreed to this.
Agreement being reached, the Emperor, trusting to the word of Hodson as a British officer, emerged from the tomb and exchanged greetings in person with Hodson. Finding the old man extremely frail with exertion, Hodson told the Emperor to rest under a shady tree and accept refreshments. The Emperor was then sent back to Delhi, carried in a palanquin with an escort of Sikh sowars from Hodson's Horse. Meanwhile, the remaining ninety troopers collected the arms of the motley crowd of villagers, jihadis and courtiers, who surrendered their weaponry without dissent at the bidding of their Emperor.
Death
Shortly afterwards, with the Emperor secured but clearly in no condition to be transported to the city, Hodson set out for the city with a small party of troopers. Riding on horses, they soon caught up with the party carrying the princes. As they approached the gates of the city, Hodson found that a crowd of townsmen had gathered in the expectation of witnessing the return of the Emperor and the princes. Also, a crowd of curious villagers and armed civilians had followed in the wake of the Princes as they travelled the few miles to the gates of Delhi.
At the city gate, Hodson ordered the three princes to get off the cart. They were then stripped of their upper garments. The bare-chested princes were lined up in clear sight of the crowd. Hodson then took out his gun and himself shot the three unarmed and half-naked princes at point-blank range. After killing the princes, Hodson personally stripped their bodies of jewellery: their signet rings, turquoise arm-bands and bejewelled swords. He pocketed these valuables as trophies of war, although they had been obtained by killing disarmed prisoners of war under dubious circumstances. The bodies of the three princes were thrown back into the bullock-cart, taken to a kotwali (police-station) within the city, thrown on the ground in front of that building and left exposed there for all to see. The gate near which the executions were performed became known as Khooni Darwaza, meaning "Bloody Gate" or "Murder Gate."

Asides Besides is a compilation album by Talk Talk, released April 1998. It is a collection of rarities, B-sides and demos previously unavailable on CD. It was issued as a companion volume to the band's 1997 album remasters and has been described as "[tying] up loose ends" in the band's career. The album received positive reviews. The album only contains tracks from the 1982–1988 period, as EMI could only obtain rights for Talk Talk music from this period. An album of rarities for Talk Talk's career after 1988 was released in 2001 as Missing Pieces.
Background
Talk Talk released four studio albums on record label EMI in the 1980s, as well as numerous singles, an EMI-curated remix album (It's My Mix), and several EPs. Though the four studio albums were remastered onto CD in the 1980s (and again in 1997), the singles, remix album and EPs all contained B-sides and remixes that were not republished onto CD. A surge in Talk Talk's popularity arose following the 1997 aforementioned remasters of the band's catalogue, which was coupled with a new compilation album entitled The Very Best of Talk Talk, as well as new material from Mark Hollis and .O.rang. To capitalise on this, EMI decided to remaster and re-release all the previously unavailable songs on one double album.
Songs
Disc one consists solely of remixes, all of which had only been available on 12" singles and were not available on CD at that time. (New Talk Talk remixes had been released on the 1991 compilation album History Revisited which the band disowned and tried to block the release of.)
Disc two opens with rare demo versions of "Talk Talk" (already featured in its extended form on disc one), "Mirror Man" and "Candy," all of which had appeared on a limited edition double 7" single of "Such a Shame." The disc progresses into B-sides such as "John Cope," the B-side for "I Believe in You" from 1988. Single edits of songs such as "Eden" are also included. Disc two does feature one song that had already been available on CD: "My Foolish Friend," which had appeared on the 1990 retrospective album Natural History, but was not included in the 1997 CD remaster campaign.
"Call in the Night Boy (Piano Version)," "For What It's Worth," "It's Getting Late in the Evening" and "John Cope" later appeared on 2003's Introducing ... Talk Talk. All the remixes on disc one were reissued in 1999 as the standalone album 12 x 12 Original Remixes, which itself was reissued as Remixed in 2001.
Reception
Chris Woodstra of Allmusic found that the 12 inch single remixes which comprise the first disc are of only marginal interest, but that the obscure tracks featured on the second disc stand up well even against the band's contemporary album tracks. He summarized, "Asides Besides can certainly be seen as a cash-in release to coincide with Mark Hollis' first solo release and the reissue of Talk Talk's EMI catalog, but rarely does such a calculated industry move result in such a treat for fans ... Asides Besides may be of interest only to diehard Talk Talk fans, but for that audience this collection is absolutely essential."
In a rundown of Talk Talk's discography, the BBC said that Asides and Besides was "a double CD set that includes many of the band's best 12" mixes and b-sides.", though they criticized the sloppy scans of the sleeve artwork for the singles.
In 2014, the NME ranked the album at number 9 in their list of "30 Killer B-Side and Rarities Albums".

Pal Engjëlli (; 1416–1470) was an Albanian Roman Catholic cardinal, clergyman, scholar, and Archbishop of Durazzo who in 1462 wrote the first known sentence retrieved so far in Albanian. Pauli Angeli is reported to have been a friend, co-worker and close counselor of Skanderbeg. As his envoy, he frequently traveled abroad, seeking for aid in the war against the Ottoman Empire.
Angeli managed to convince Lekë Dukagjini to leave Ottomans and later reconcile with Skanderbeg, and also to convince Skanderbeg to violate an armistice signed with the Ottomans.
The Baptism Formula Document
The sentence was the baptismal formula in the Gheg Albanian (): Un'te paghesont' pr'emenit t'Atit e t'Birit e t'Spertit Senit. () and in the Tosk-based standard: ).
The formula was found in a pastoral letter written in Latin by Angeli after his visit to the Church of Holy Trinity in Mat. The letter is dated 8 November 1462. The formula was meant to be used by Albanian priests to render the ritual understandable for people ignorant of Latin. Probably it was meant also to be used by Albanian people in the countryside, unable to take their children to be baptized to a church. The formula was approved by a synod in Mat, Albania, in 1462.
The document containing the baptismal formula is held in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Florence, Italy. It was discovered in 1915 by the Romanian scholar Nicolae Iorga.

Mohammad Ibrahim Saaduddin, better known as Moh Saaduddin, was a peace activist and a Maranao journalist who wrote for The Manila Times and the Mindanao Examiner in the Philippines.
He wrote about current events in Mindanao, particularly in Maguindanao province, from 2014 to 2018. Moh authored investigative reports about events relating to the Daesh-Inspired group in the southern Philippines known as the Maute group in Lanao del Sur, Philippines. He was also a provincial information officer of the Province of Maguindanao last October 8, 2019.
Saaduddin died on October 8, 2018, in a motorcycle accident along the road in Matalam, North Cotabato going to Kidapawan City. The accident happened after he covered an event in the Regional Office of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao in Cotabato City, Philippines.

In 2002, Saaduddin graduated from high school at Jamiatu Muslim Mindanao. In April 2006, he earned a Bachelor of Science in International Relations (BSIR) at Mindanao State University. After a year, he married Anisah Macabalang, the eldest daughter of Ali Macabalang, senior correspondent of the Manila Bulletin.

Journalism
Saaduddin's desire to become a journalist began in his college years. As a journalist he encountered difficulties in the Philippines that spurred him to write about what he saw as differences between the Islamic way of life and the ideology of the Maute group, Ansar Khilafa Philippines, Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters and Abu Sayyaf.
Saaduddin had interviewed extremists from the southern Philippines with European journalist Lennart Hofman of De Correspondent. He took responsibility for the safety of European journalists during their reporting in September 2018 in Patikul, Sulu, Philippines. His activities sought to bring about peace in troubled areas in Mindanao.

Paulo Sérgio Martinho Cabral (born 24 June 1972) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as either a right or left back.
Club career
Born in Vila Nova de Cerveira, Viana do Castelo District, Cabral started his senior career with local SC Vianense, promoting to the third division in his first year and playing two full seasons with the first team overall. After one year in amateur football he went straight to the Primeira Liga for 1994–95, with F.C. Tirsense, but his league input consisted of 24 minutes of action.
In the summer of 1995, Cabral returned to the third level with F.C. Vizela. Subsequently, as first-choice, he spent three seasons in division two with Tirsense, C.D. Aves and C.F. Os Belenenses, appearing in 31 matches for the latter club (one goal) in the 1998–99 campaign as it achieved top-flight promotion.
Cabral continued to be an undisputed starter with the Lisbon side in the following two seasons, which attracted the attention of neighbouring S.L. Benfica. He played 13 league games in his first year but soon fell out of favour, returning to Belenenses for a further year where he featured sparingly due to injuries, and retiring in June 2005 at the age of 33.
International career
On 15 November 2000, Cabral earned his first – and only – cap for Portugal, coming on as a substitute for Carlos Secretário for the final ten minutes of a 2–1 friendly win over Israel.

The 1940 United States presidential election in Vermont took place on November 5, 1940, as part of the 1940 United States presidential election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Vermont voted for the Republican nominee, corporate lawyer Wendell Willkie of New York, over the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York. Willkie's running mate was Senate Minority Leader Charles L. McNary of Oregon, while Roosevelt ran with Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace of Iowa.
Willkie took 54.78% of the vote, to Roosevelt's 44.92%, a margin of 9.86%.
Vermont historically was a bastion of liberal Northeastern Republicanism, and by 1940 the Green Mountain State had gone Republican in every presidential election since the founding of the Republican Party. From 1856 to 1936, Vermont had had the longest streak of voting Republican of any state, having never voted Democratic before, and this tradition continued in 1940.
Vermont had been one of only two states (along with nearby Maine) to reject Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt in all 4 of his presidential campaigns, even in the nationwide Democratic landslides of 1932 and 1936.
However 1940 would prove to be Roosevelt's high point in Vermont, and in New England as a whole, even as the rest of the nation shifted toward the GOP. Roosevelt improved on his previous showings in Vermont, coming within just under 10 percentage points of winning the state, the only time he ever got within single digits of a Republican opponent in the state. The results in Maine, the only state to have joined Vermont in voting Republican in 1936, showed a similar but even more dramatic swing toward FDR, with Willkie only holding onto Maine by a narrow 51—49 margin. Roosevelt's gain in Vermont and other New England states, in an election when Willkie carried almost seven hundred counties that the President had won during his landslide four years beforehand, was due to support in the region for helping Britain and France during World War II.
Whereas Vermont had been the most Republican state in the union in the 1930s, a strong swing against Roosevelt in the Midwest pushed Vermont into being only the fifth most Republican state after South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and North Dakota, although it still registered as a strong twenty percent more Republican than the national average.
Willkie carried ten of the state's 14 counties, breaking 60% in 6. However, the three northwestern counties of Vermont had been Democratic enclaves in an otherwise Republican state throughout the 1930s and 1940s, and Roosevelt once again won Chittenden County, Franklin County and Grand Isle County for the Democrats. Roosevelt also managed to carry for the first time rural Essex County in the northeast of the state, being the first Democrat to do so since Martin Van Buren in 1836.

is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as Central Midfielder. He currently play for Tiamo Hirakata.
Club career
Born in Osaka Prefecture, Shibamoto joined local side Gamba Osaka as a youth. He was included in the club's under-23 side for the 2017 season, and made his debut on April 15, 2017, coming on as a half time substitute for Takahiro Ko in a 2-0 defeat to Nagano Parceiro. In total he played 29 games and scored 1 goal in 2017 as his side finished 16th out of 17 teams in the final standings.
His performances in J3 didn't go unnoticed and at the age of 18 he was given a senior Gamba Osaka contract ahead of the 2018 season. He was handed the number 32 jersey ahead of his debut season, however, owing to his tender years his top team action was limited to 5 outings as an unused substitute, 3 in J1 League and 2 in the J.League Cup.
Gamba operated a new policy for their J3 side in 2018, utilising it as reserve team as opposed to a youth team as it had been run the previous season. This limited Shibamoto's game time and he started just 13 times out of a total of 22 appearances and contributed 2 goals as Gamba U-23 finished 6th in the final standings.
After loan at J3 club, SC Sagamihara and Fujieda MYFC for two seasons respectively, he left from the club in 2022 after once play at Gamba Osaka in top tier.
On 26 January 2023, Shibamoto announcement officially transfer to JFL club, Tiamo Hirakata for ahead of 2023 season.

Eragrostis cilianensis is a species of grass known by several common names, including stinkgrass, candy grass, and gray lovegrass.
Distribution
This plant is native to much of Eurasia and Africa but it is widely naturalized elsewhere, including nearly all of North America.
Description
This is an annual bunchgrass forming tufts up to about half a meter in height. The stems are generally erect but may droop or bend. The stems have glandular tissue near the nodes and the long leaves are often dotted with glands as well. The plants have a strong scent.
The branching inflorescences have one to several spikelets per branch. Each spikelet is greenish brown, sometimes very slightly purple-tinted, and one half to two centimeters long. It is somewhat flattened and lined with 10 to over 40 florets.

Bhadra Fort is situated in the walled city area of Ahmedabad, India. It was built by Ahmad Shah I in 1411. With its well carved royal palaces, mosques, gates and open spaces, it was renovated in 2014 by the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) as a cultural centre for the city.
Etymology
It is believed the fort adopted the name Bhadra after a temple of Bhadra Kali, a form of Laxmi which was established during Maratha rule but a plaque near fort tells a different story: The Bhadra Gate - C.A.D. 1411 - The massive fortified gate was built in or about 1411 to serve as the principal eastern entrance of the palace erected here by Sultan Ahmad Shah I (1411-1442), the founder of Ahmedabad. The palace called the Bhadra after the ancient Rajput citadel of that name at Anhilwada-Patan (Baroda State), which the first three kings of the dynasty of Gujarat Sultans had held before Ahmedabad became the capital. Three inscribed slabs on the walls connecting this gateway with two ancillary gates behind are now almost completely defaced. One of these appears to show a date of the time of Jahangir (1605-1627).
History
Ahmedabad was named after Ahmad Shah I of the Muzaffarid dynasty. He established Ahmedabad as the new capital of Gujarat Sultanate and built Bhadra Fort on the east bank of the Sabarmati river. It was also known as Arak Fort as described in Mirat-i-Ahmadi. The foundation stone of fort was laid down at Manek Burj in 1411. Square in form, enclosing an area of about forty-three acres, and containing 162 houses, the Bhadra fort had eight gates, three large, two in the east and one in the south-west corner; three middle-sized, two in the north and one in the south; and two small, in the west. The area within the fort had become occupied by urban developments by 1525. So a second fortification was built later by Mahmud Begada, the grandson of Ahmed Shah, with an outer wall 10 km (6.2 mi) in circumference and consisting of 12 gates, 189 bastions and over 6,000 battlements as described in Mirat-i-Ahmadi. Almost 60 governors ruled Gujarat during the Mughal period including the future Mughal emperors Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb. A seraglio was built later in the 17th century by a Mughal governor, Azam Khan, known as Azam Khan Sarai. It was used as a Musafir khana (a resting place for travellers) during Mughal rule.
Sarsenapati Umabaisaheb Khanderao Dabhade became the only female Commander-in-Chief in the history of the Marathas in 1732. She commanded the Maratha Army and fought a war near Ahmedabad at Bhadra Fort defeating Mughal Sardar Joravar Khan Babi.
Joint rule by Peshwa and Gaekwad of the Maratha Empire brought an end to the Mughal era in 1783. During the First Anglo–Maratha War (1775–1782), General Thomas Wyndham Goddard with 6,000 troops stormed Bhadra Fort and captured Ahmedabad on 15 February 1779. There was a garrison of 6,000 Arab and Sindhi infantry and 2,000 horses. Losses in the fight totalled 108, including two Britons. After the war, the fort was later handed back to Marathas under the Treaty of Salbai.
Ahmedabad was conquered by the British in 1817. The fort complex was used as a prison during the British Raj.
Azam Khan sarai currently houses the government offices, an ASI office, a post office and the city's civil courts. It is also used for flag hoisting on Independence Day and Republic Day.
Structures
Citadel, royal square and Teen Darwaza
Bhadra Fort housed royal palaces and the beautiful Nagina Baugh and the royal Ahmed Shah's Mosque on the west side and an open area known as Maidan-Shah on the east side. It had a fortified city wall with 14 towers, eight gates and two large openings covering an area of 43 acres. The eastern wall on the river bank can still be seen. The fort complex was used as a royal court during his reign. On the eastern side of a fort, there is a triple gateway known as Teen Darwaza which was formerly an entrance to the royal square, Maidan-Shah. The road beyond Teen Darwaza leads Manek Chowk, a mercantile square. On the south side along the road, there is a congregational mosque known as Jami Masjid.
The citadel's architecture is Indo-sarcenic with intricately carved arches and balconies. Fine latticework adorns windows and murals. There are some Islamic inscriptions on the arches of the fort. The palace contains royal suites, the imperial court, halls, and a prison.
Azam Khan Sarai
Azam Khan, also known as Mir Muhammad Baquir was a Mughal governor. He built a palace known as Azam Khan Sarai in 1637. Its entrance, 5.49 meters high, opens onto an octagonal hall which had a low balcony made up of stone in the upper floor. It was used as a resting place for travellers in the Mughal era and as a hospital and a jail during British rule. There was a gibbet on the roof of Azam Khan Sarai used for hanging during the Gujarat Sultanate and the British era. According to one story, it was here Ahmed Shah hanged his son-in-law who was convicted of murder.
Bhadra Kali Temple
A room in north wing of Azam Khan Sarai was turned into the temple of Bhadra Kali during Maratha rule. It has a black statue of Goddess Bhadra Kali with four hands.
Legend
Years ago, Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth, came to the gate of Bhadra Fort to leave the city in the night. Watchman Siddique Kotwal stopped her and identified her. He asked her not to leave fort until he obtained permission from the king. He beheaded himself in order to keep Laxmi in the city. It resulted in the prosperity of the city.
There is a tomb near Bhadra Gate dedicated to Siddique Kotwal and a temple to Bhadra Kali, representing Laxmi. A lamp in one of the hole in Teen Darwaza is lit continuously for more than six hundred years by a Muslim family is dedicated to Laxmi.
Clock tower
The Bhadra Fort tower clock was brought from London in 1849 at cost of Rs. 8000 and installed here at the cost of £243 (Rs. 2430) in 1878 by the British East India Company. At night, it was illuminated from behind by a kerosene lamp which was replaced by an electric light in 1915. Ahmedabad's first electrical connection, it ceased to operate in the 1960s but the AMC and the ASI now plan to repair it.
Redevelopment
Under Bhadra Plaza Development Project, an initiative of the AMC and the ASI, Bhadra Fort was renovated and the open space between the fort and Teen Darwaza, earlier known as Maidan-Shah was restored. Landscaping was recreated based on the accounts of historical past travellers. The work started on 26 January 2012 and the renovation of open areas was completed in November 2014. The cost of the project is estimated Rs 115 crore. A stretch between the fort and Teen Darwaza earlier known as Maidan-Shah was declared a pedestrian zone. The new public amenities, marble benches and kiosks for hawkers were constructed. There are also plans for a pedestrian bridge connecting Bhadra plaza with the Sabarmati riverfront and a multilevel car park at Lal Darwaza. The museum and galleries are planned on the first floor of the fort palace while a handicraft outlet will be housed on the ground floor. A traditional restaurant, food and ethnic markets as well as an exhibition centre are also planned. It is the first heritage and pedestrianization project under JnNURM. Jaishankar Sundari hall, a performing arts venue, was renovated and reopened in 2010.
The city civil court and sessions court were operated in buildings adjacent to Azam Khan Sarai. They were transferred to old high court building on Ashram Road. The new eight-floor court building is planned after demolition of old buildings. The plan was challenged in Gujarat High Court citing protected monument laws and regulations but high court permitted the construction after presentation by authorities.

The Big Mac is a hamburger sold by the international fast food restaurant chain McDonald's. It was introduced in the Greater Pittsburgh area in 1967 and across the United States in 1968. It is one of the company's flagship products and signature dishes. The Big Mac contains two beef patties, cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, minced onions, and a Thousand Island-type dressing advertised as "special sauce", on a three-slice sesame-seed bun.
History
The Big Mac was created by Jim Delligatti, who operated several McDonald's restaurants in the Pittsburgh area. It was created in the kitchen of Delligatti's first McDonald's franchise, located on McKnight Road in suburban Ross Township.
The Big Mac debuted at the McDonald's owned by Delligatti in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, on April 22, 1967, selling for .
It was designed to compete with Big Boy Restaurants' Big Boy hamburger. Eat'n Park was the Pittsburgh area's Big Boy franchisee at the time. The Big Mac proved popular and it was added to the menu of all U.S. McDonald's restaurants in 1968.
The Big Mac had two previous names, both of which failed in the marketplace: the Aristocrat and the Blue Ribbon Burger. The third name, Big Mac, was created by Esther Glickstein Rose, a 21-year-old advertising secretary who worked at McDonald's corporate headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois.
Product
The Big Mac is made with two beef patties, a "special sauce" (similar to Thousand Island dressing), shredded iceberg lettuce, one processed American cheese slice, two slices of dill pickle, and minced onions, served on a three slice sesame seed bun. On October 1, 2018, McDonald's announced that it would remove all artificial preservatives, flavors, and coloring from the Big Mac.
The Big Mac is known worldwide and is often used as a symbol of American capitalism and decadence. The Economist has used it as a reference point for comparing the cost of living in different countries – the Big Mac Index – as it is so widely available and is comparable across markets. This index is sometimes referred to as Burgernomics.
Sauce
Big Mac Sauce is delivered to McDonald's restaurants in sealed canisters designed by Sealright, from which it is meant to be directly dispensed using a calibrated "sauce gun" that dispenses a specified amount of the sauce for each pull of the trigger.
In 2012, McDonald's executive chef Dan Coudreaut released a YouTube video revealing the recipe of the sauce. It consists of store-bought mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish and yellow mustard whisked together with vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
In 2018, McDonald's revamped the sauce by removing potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and calcium disodium EDTA.
The sauce is occasionally available for purchase on its own for a limited time. The first time was in 2015. A tube was available for purchase but only in restaurants in Australia. The last time it was available was in 2020. A pot was available for purchase but only in restaurants in the UK and Ireland.
Packaging
The Big Mac, along with many other McDonald's products, was first served in a collapsible cardboard container that was changed to a "clamshell" style, polystyrene foam container in the late 1970s. Polystyrene foam containers were phased out beginning in 1990, due to environmental concerns.
Advertising
"Two all-beef patties" jingle
In 1974 McDonald's commissioned an advertising jingle which popularized the list of ingredients of the Big Mac: "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun."
In 2008, McDonald's restaurants in Malaysia revived the slogan. The revival included the original prize of a free Big Mac if the customer was able to recite the slogan in under four seconds. It was released in May, along with the promotional Mega Mac, which had four beef patties instead of two.
McDonaldland character
McDonalds began a television advertising campaign appealing to children in 1971 featuring a fantasy world populated by Ronald McDonald and various mascots promoting McDonalds products. Some characters were also modeled in McDonalds store playground equipment. The Big Mac was represented by Officer Big Mac, a Keystone Cops-style policeman with a giant Big Mac sandwich for a head. The characters were revised after a 1973 plagiarism lawsuit brought by television puppeteers Sid and Marty Krofft because of similarities to their H.R. Pufnstuf characters. A modified Officer Big Mac continued in the commercials until 1985.
Hip-hop product placement
In 2005, McDonald's began offering product placement rewards to hip hop artists who namechecked the Big Mac in their music, giving US$5 to the artist for every time a song mentioning the hamburger was played on the radio.
EU trademark revocation
McDonald's sued the Irish fast-food chain Supermac's for trademark infringement and claimed the name would confuse consumers in European markets. On 11 January 2019, the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) ruled in Supermac's favor in what has been called a "David vs. Goliath" victory. McDonald's submitted a copy of the Wikipedia article about the Big Mac as part of its evidence, but the court found the Wikipedia page was not acceptable as "independent evidence".
In 2023, the EUIPO Board of Appeal annulled this decision after McDonald's filed 700 pages of additional evidence, despite objections.
US sales
In 2007, Danya Proud, a McDonald's spokeswoman, said that in the United States alone, 560 million Big Macs are sold each year. This means that approximately 17 Big Macs are sold every second.
Variants
The Mega Mac or Double Big Mac: four beef patties and an extra slice of cheese. Available in Canada, China, Egypt, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan (during promotional periods only), Turkey, Singapore, Pakistan, South Korea, Thailand, and United Kingdom. It was introduced to the United States in early 2020. In Australia it was discontinued and replaced by the Grand Big Mac. The Double Big Mac is the biggest regular hamburger the chain produces and it has 680 calories.
Big Big Mac: a Quarter Pounder–like product sold in Europe (Finland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, and Italy). Has been sold periodically in Sweden, there called "Grand Big Mac".
The Denali Mac: made with two quarter pound patties. Named after Denali in Alaska, and sold only in that state.
In India, where consuming beef is illegal in most states, the Big Mac is known as the Maharaja Mac and was originally made with lamb instead of beef; however, along with the company's other items, it is now made from chicken.
The Chicken Big Mac is a Big Mac with two breaded chicken patties sold in US, UK, Canada, Pakistan, Egypt, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and other countries as a limited-availability or promotional burger.
The Giga Big Mac, is sold in Japan. It is a larger version of the Big Mac with three times the meat of a regular one.
Little Mac or Mac Jr. is a reduction of the standard Big Mac which uses a two-piece bun and contains only one beef patty. It has been available as a limited-time promotion in the U.S. since 2017.
Grand Mac uses larger patties, at combined. Available in the U.S. beginning in 2017 and was first made available overseas in the UK, Ireland, and Australia as the "Grand Big Mac" in 2018 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Big Mac. This and the Mac Jr. were collectively known as the "Big Mac range" in the UK.
Big Mac BLT is a standard Big Mac burger with the addition of bacon and tomato. Released in Australia and New Zealand as a promotional item in late 2017.
Big Mac Bacon was introduced in selected markets in 2018, as a limited-time option. It is essentially a Big Mac with added bacon. In 2019, this was extended in the UK to the Grand Big Mac and the Mac Jr.
Museum
On August 22, 2007, McDonald's opened the Big Mac Museum in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania to celebrate the Big Mac's 40th anniversary. The museum features the world's largest Big Mac statue (measuring 14 feet high and 12 feet wide) and has hundreds of historical artifacts and exhibits that celebrate the Big Mac.
Some Uniontown residents were unhappy with the selected location.
Nutritional values per geographical location
The Big Mac is a geographically localized product. In the United States, the Big Mac has 550 kcal (2,300 kJ), 29 grams of fat and 25 grams of protein. In Australia, the burger is slightly smaller with 493 kcal (2,060 kJ) and 26.9 grams of fat, but similar amounts of protein with 25.2 grams, while the Japanese burger tops out the scales at 557 kcal and 30.5 grams of fat. Several McDonald's subsidiaries adapt the standard features of the Big Mac (from the US) to regional requirements.

Regional Development Councils (RDCs) are the highest policy-making body governing the administrative regions of the Philippines. They serve as the subnational counterpart of the National Economic and Development Authority. All but two (Metro Manila and Bangsamoro) of the Philippines 17 regions has a Regional Development Council although Metro Manila has a metropolitan body which serves the same function as an RDC. Bangsamoro, an autonomous region, also has its own equivalent to a RDC.
Metro Manila is recognized in law as a "special development and administrative region," and was thus given a metropolitan authority; the Metro Manila Council within the MMDA serves as the National Capital Region's RDC. The defunct Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao's (ARMM) equivalent of an RDC was the Regional Economic and Development Planning Board.
Under the Bangsamoro Organic Law, Bangsamoro is mandated to maintain the Bangsamoro Economic and Development Council (BEDC) which serves as the autonomous region's equivalent of an RDC.

Cajon Pass (; Spanish: Puerto del Cajón or Paso del Cajón) is a mountain pass between the San Bernardino Mountains to the east and the San Gabriel Mountains to the west in Southern California. Created by the movements of the San Andreas Fault, it has an elevation of . Located in the Mojave Desert, the pass is an important link from the Greater San Bernardino Area to the Victor Valley, and northeast to Las Vegas. The Cajon Pass area is on the Pacific Crest Trail.
Cajon Pass is at the head of Horsethief Canyon, traversed by California State Route 138 (SR 138) and railroad tracks owned by BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad. Improvements in 1972 reduced the railroad's maximum elevation from about while reducing curvature.
Interstate 15 does not traverse Cajon Pass, but rather the nearby Cajon Summit, , The entire area, Cajon Pass and Cajon Summit, is often referred to as Cajon Pass, but a distinction is made between Cajon Pass and Cajon Summit.
In 1851, a group of Mormon settlers led by Amasa M. Lyman and Charles C. Rich traveled through Cajon Pass in covered wagons on their way from Salt Lake City to southern California. A prominent rock formation in the pass, where the Mormon Road and the railway merge (at , near Sullivan's Curve), is known as Mormon Rocks.
Name
In Spanish, the word cajón refers to a box or drawer. The name of the pass is derived from the Spanish land grant encompassing the area; it was first referred to in English on an 1852 map. Early Latter-day Saint documents, which often referred to the pass as "Cahoon Pass", suggest an alternate explanation for the name, that it is named in honor of Mormon pioneer Andrew Cahoon (pronounced similarly to Cajon), who was an early settler in nearby San Bernardino and assisted in surveying and laying out the city of San Bernardino.
Aviation
Cajon Pass is known for high wind, turbulence and fog.
The weather over the pass can vary from foggy days with poor visibility to clear afternoons where aircraft are bounced by gusting Santa Ana winds that top . The wind is typically out of the west, although in Santa Ana and other weather conditions it may be out of the north or the southeast. Air spilling over the San Gabriels can cause violent up- and downdrafts. On a normal day, with the wind out of the west, turbulence usually starts a few miles west of Rialto and continues a few miles to the east, growing in strength above the altitude of the mountains and especially over the pass near the HITOP intersection. In Santa Ana conditions, up- and downdrafts can become violent northeast of Ontario Airport, and turbulence can be experienced east to the Banning Pass, well known for turbulence. The mass and wing loading of an aircraft determine its sensitivity to turbulence, so what may seem violent in a Cessna 172 may seem only mild to moderate in a Boeing 747. In the 2006 Mercy Air 2 accident, an air ambulance helicopter collided with mountainous terrain near the pass in foggy weather.
Rail transport
Traffic
The California Southern Railroad, a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, was the first railroad through Cajon Pass. The line through the pass was built in the early 1880s to connect the present day cities of Barstow and San Diego. Today the Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway (the successor to the Santa Fe) use the pass to reach Los Angeles and San Bernardino as part of the Southern Transcon. Due to the many trains, scenery and easy access, it is a popular location for railfans, and many photographs of trains on Cajon Pass appear in books and magazines.
The Union Pacific Railroad owns one track through the pass, on the previous Southern Pacific Railroad Palmdale cutoff, opened in 1967. The BNSF Railway owns two tracks and began to operate a third main track in the summer of 2008. The railroads share track rights through the pass ever since the Union Pacific gained track rights on the Santa Fe portion negotiated under the original Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad. The original BNSF (ATSF) line was built in the 1880s and later roads, U.S. Route 66 and I-15, roughly followed this route. The 3.0% grade for a few miles on the south track is challenging for long trains, making the westbound descent dangerous, as a runaway can occur if the engineer is not careful in handling the brakes. The second track, built in 1913, is longer to get a lower 2.2% grade. It ran through two short tunnels, but both were removed when the third main track was added next to the 1913 line. Trains may be seen traveling at speeds of on the straighter track away from the pass, but typically ascend at and descend at . With the third track, the BNSF lines have a capacity of 150 trains per day.
Incidents
The steep downhill grade south of the pass was a contributing factor in the May 12, 1989, San Bernardino train disaster.
Cajon Pass was the site of a major accident on December 14, 1994, when a westbound Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe intermodal train lost control and crashed into the rear of a westbound Union Pacific coal train just below California Highway 138, between Alray and Cajon. Thankfully, the Santa Fe crew warned the Union Pacific crew ahead of time, and the UP crew on the helper locomotives at the back of their train bailed out and were uninjured, while the Santa Fe crew received minor injuries after bailing out in turn before impact. All of the Santa Fe and UP helper locomotives involved in the collision suffered irreparable damage and were scrapped, while the lead UP locomotives were undamaged.
On February 2, 1996, a brakeman and a conductor were killed when a Santa Fe manifest train derailed and caught fire at Cajon Pass.
The August 16, 2016 Blue Cut Fire destroyed a trestle on the Union Pacific mainline.
On August 21, 2018, a train carrying hazardous materials derailed, causing a FedEx facility near the tracks to evacuate, along with one school that took shelter.
Passenger service
Amtrak's Desert Wind used the pass until it quit running in 1997. The Southwest Chief runs daily between Chicago and Los Angeles, through Cajon Pass on the BNSF line.
In 2020, Brightline initiated planning for a high-speed route between Victorville and Rancho Cucamonga as an extension of their forthcoming Brightline West service. The route was not initially considered by the project's preceding operators, as it was seen as prohibitively expensive.
Road transport
The Mojave Freeway (I-15) was built in 1969 over Cajon Summit west of Cajon Pass. It is a major route from Los Angeles and the Inland Empire to Las Vegas. The freeway runs above and parallel to an original stretch of historic Route 66 and U.S. Route 395. This stretch, now known as Cajon Boulevard, is a short, well-preserved fragment dating to a rerouting and widening of the highway in the early 1950s. Only the southbound/westbound lanes are in use; the northbound/eastbound lanes and corresponding bridges are closed to through traffic. It is along this stretch of road, accessible via either the Kenwood Avenue or Cleghorn Road exits that some of the best trainspotting areas are found. The Cajon Pass segment of I-15 was named the deadliest road in California.
The historic Summit Inn, off the Oak Hills exit at the summit of the pass, was a historic Route 66 diner and was in the same location from 1952 to 2016, when it was destroyed by the Blue Cut fire. Some maps may show the Cajon Pass as a feature on SR 138, which crosses I-15 south of the summit between West Cajon Valley and Summit Valley. The highest point on I-15 between Los Angeles and Victorville is thus sometimes identified as Cajon Summit. However, the entire area, including Cajon Summit, is often called Cajon Pass.
Pacific Crest Trail
The Pacific Crest Trail goes through the Cajon Pass area, and during the hiking season up to several thousand transient hikers will pass through this area after walking one of the hottest, driest, and most grueling sections of desert on the trail. A nearby McDonald's restaurant happens to be very close to the trail, and it is famous among hikers. Many hikers also spend the night in the one motel at Cajon Junction.
Utilities infrastructure
Three Southern California Edison 500 kV high voltage power lines cross the summit. These lines head to the Lugo substation northeast of Cajon Pass and connect to Path 26 and Path 46. Both Path 26 and 46 provide the Los Angeles metro area with electricity generated from fossil fuel power plants in the Four Corners region, and hydroelectric dams along the Colorado River.
Natural hazards
During October and November 2003, a number of wildfires devastated the hills and mountainsides near and around the pass, forcing the closure of Interstate 15. The following winter, rains in addition to burnt vegetation caused a number of landslides to further close the freeway pass.
On July 17, 2015, during severe drought conditions plaguing the whole state and creating extreme fire hazards, a fast, wind-whipped wildfire swept over Interstate 15 between California State Route 138 and the Oak Hill Road exits, sending drivers running for safety and setting 20 vehicles ablaze, officials said. The vegetation fire, which closed the I-15 southbound lanes and restricted the northbound side to one lane, overtook stalled cars.
The following year the Blue Cut Fire again forced the closure of the freeway for several days starting on August 16, 2016. The fire closed the I-15 north and southbound lanes due to the intensity of the fire. It destroyed a number of outbuildings and homes, and destroyed the Summit Inn Restaurant in Oak Hills. A McDonald's restaurant was also burned but the damage was minor. The fire threatened homes in Lytle Creek, Phelan, Oak Hills and Wrightwood and burned
Cajon Pass is notorious for high winds, particularly during Santa Ana wind season, with gusts of wind up to . It has been known to cause high-profile vehicles such as semi-trucks to lose control or tip over. During wind advisories, Caltrans will use its Changeable message signs to warn motorists of dangerous weather in the Cajon Pass.
Cajon Pass gets snow occasionally, usually not enough to cause closures. When any closure is total, California Highway Patrols often provide escorts through the pass as the Interstate 15 is a major artery for the High Desert region.
When there is high wind or snow in the Cajon Pass, it is fairly common for weather forecasters or reporters from Los Angeles television stations to do location reports from the Cajon Pass.
The San Andreas Fault passes through the Cajon Pass (crossing I-15 on the south side of the summit) and is responsible for the unique local geography. Instrumentation installed at Cajon Pass allows scientists to track earthquakes in the region.

Macclesfield Hibel Road railway station was a railway station serving the town of Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. It was opened as a joint station by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) and the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) on 13 July 1849, with the opening of the NSR route to Uttoxeter via and and it replaced an earlier, temporary, LNWR station at Beech Bridge. Built right at the point where the track of the two companies made an end-on junction, the station was managed by a joint committee of the two companies.
With the opening of the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway in 1871, the NSR opened a new station less than further south called Macclesfield Central. It had been hoped that the new line could run into Hibel Road, but the LNWR objected to this and neither would the LNWR agree to share Central station.
Both stations remained open until 1960, when the decision was taken by British Rail to concentrate services on a redeveloped Central station. The refurbished Central station, now renamed simply Macclesfield, opened on 7 November 1960; the same day that Hibel Road closed. The site of Hibel Road station has now been redeveloped.
Passenger train services
LNWR services to/from terminated at Hibel Road but, if they continued to via , then many stopped at Central too. NSR services, either on the main line to Stoke or via the Churnet Valley line, used both stations. Express trains between and Manchester tended only to use Hibel Road.
Freight traffic
The area around the station was very cramped. To the south of the station was the NSR goods yard, which dealt mostly with coal for Macclesfield gas works. North of the station was the LNWR goods yard and the NSR motive power depot (MPD). As the track north of the station was LNWR owned, the NSR could only access its engine shed using running powers over the LNWR track.

Jeffory Blackard is an entrepreneur and real estate developer working primarily in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. His developments include Adriatica, in which he intends to reproduce the look and feel of an old-world southern European village (most notably, an Adriatic coast Croatian village) in Texas. He primarily acts as Chief Executive Officer and founder of Blackard Companies.
Early life
Jeff Blackard was born in Peoria, Illinois to Richard and Janice Blackard. Blackard was the state decathlon champion for 3 years, running while in high school at Argenta-Oreana High School. Blackard was also the all-time leading scorer for his high school team and was recognized as a notable alumnus and in the school's hall of fame. He went to Northwestern University on a track and field scholarship which turned into a basketball scholarship during his sophomore year. Blackard was later recognized as one of Northwestern's 100 most notable graduates for his work in philanthropy and his theory of village evolution, Neoretroism.
Real Estate
After graduating from Northwestern University in 1981, Blackard moved south to Texas and worked for Cambridge Companies before being made a partner at age 26 and eventually leaving to develop over 15,000 single homes through the completion of projects including Lakes on Legacy, Griffin Parc and Pirates Beach and Cove in Galveston, Texas. In addition to an early focus on master-planned communities, Blackard also developed projects including multi-family complexes, office parks, retail, restaurants and resorts totaling over $2 billion in asset creation.
After buying an interest in properties on the coast of Croatia, Blackard has focused much of his work on the evolution process of a village. Adriatica, a $350 million vertically integrated, mixed-use development, is located in McKinney, Texas. Adriatica takes its inspiration from the Croatian fishing village of Supetar on the island of Brač.
In the time since the Great Recession, in addition to advising other real estate developers on the creation of villages, Blackard has undertaken new villages like Entrada in Westlake, Texas, Barisi and the revitalization of North Beach in Corpus Christi, Texas, and Wolf Lakes in Georgetown, Texas.
Environmentalism
Blackard received an environmental commendation from the United States Department of the Interior in association with the Delhide Cove Protection and Restoration Project that he undertook in the early 2000s.
Blackard also donated an island North of Lafitte's Cove in Galveston, renamed The Robert M. "Bob" Moore Wildlife Sanctuary, to the Galveston Bay Foundation in 2007 for conservation, protection and enhancing of the South Texas Wetlands.
In 2017, Blackard founded a company, Zero Global Waste, which operationalizes technology that converts municipal waste into a fuel the company calls an alternative to coal, called Edunite. The company is primarily active in Eastern Europe.
Political activism
Blackard is also an independent political activist, who supported 2012 United States Presidential candidate Rick Santorum in response to his stalwartly Christian policy positions. Blackard worked to bring Santorum to his village in McKinney, Adriatica, shortly after a successful Super Tuesday in 2012 with Santorum leading in the polls. The Dallas Morning News quoted Bud Kennedy, longtime reporter for the Star Telegram and Dallas Morning News, saying of Blackard, "He helped plan Santorum's euphoric visit to staunchly evangelical Collin County." Santorum went on to become a business partner to Blackard in Zero Global Waste.
In 2017, Blackard was awarded the Friend of Croatia Award from the Association of Croatian American Professionals. He is a notable influencer in the politics of Croatia, having arranged meetings with high-level officials in American Politics, the president of Croatia and lobbying for a double taxation avoidance treaty.
Philanthropy
In the mid 1990s Blackard started the organization Amazon Outreach, a Christian charity with whom he built a 90-foot river boat to provide medical services to underserved areas of the Amazon River Basin. Blackard has also traveled to over 50 countries with e3 Partners, a mission organization known for its "I am Second" campaign, including Ethiopia.
Personal
Blackard resides East of Dallas on his ranch in Sulphur Springs, Texas with his wife Donna. He has five children. He is an Evangelical Christian.
