The Hundred of Alma is a cadastral unit of hundred located on the northern Adelaide Plains of South Australia spanning the township of Alma and the Alma Plains. The hundred was proclaimed in 1856 in the County of Gawler and named by Governor Richard Graves MacDonnell for the River Alma on the Crimean Peninsula, the location of the Battle of the Alma, the first Allied victory in the Crimean War. The hundred is bounded on the north by the Wakefield River and on the south by the Light River
The Hundred of Alma includes all of the localities of Alma, Salter Springs, Woolshed Flat and parts of the localities of Hamley Bridge, Stockyard Creek, Undalya, Rhynie, Riverton, Giles Corner, Stockport. The largest town is now Hamley Bridge near the southern boundary.
Local government
The District Council of Rhynie was the first local government body established within the hundred. It was proclaimed in October 1865 and included approximately the northern half of the hundred. Its establishment was closely followed by that of the District Council of Stockport just a month later. Stockport council covered approximately the southern half of the hundred as well as small parts of the Hundred of Gilbert and Hundred of Light easterly adjacent. The council area lay either side of the Gilbert River from Giles Corner in the north to the Gilbert's confluence with the River Light at Hamley Bridge in the south.
Fifteen years on, in 1870, the District Council of Alma Plains was established by severing the western halves of Rhynie and Stockport councils. This meant that the hundred was roughly split in half, vertically, by the Gilbert River, with Alma Plains council administering the west and Rhynie and Stockport continuing to administer the east.
In 1932 Alma Plains council was amalgamated with the westerly adjacent District Council of Dalkey to create the new District Council of Owen. In the same year the Stockport and Rhynie councils amalgamated with the District Council of Gilbert to their east to create the new District Council of Riverton. From this time local governance of the hundred was thus split between Owen in the west and Riverton in the east.
In 1983, Owen council became a part of the District Council of Wakefield Plains. Then in 1997, Wakefield Plains council itself became a part of the much larger Wakefield Regional Council. On the same day in 1997, Riverton council became a part of the much larger District Council of Clare and Gilbert Valleys, leaving local governance of the hundred still split down the middle with Wakefield in the west and Clare and Gilbert Valleys in the east.

The Dirección General de Policía (DIGEPOL) was a Venezuelan police agency. DIGEPOL was created after the transition to democracy following the 1958 fall of the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez, replacing in part the old Seguridad Nacional. Allegations of abuse plagued DIGEPOL, most prominently in relation to, according to judicial hearings, the killing and torture of a communist professor by DIGEPOL agents. DIGEPOL was replaced in 1969 by the Dirección de los Servicios de Inteligencia y Prevención (DISIP), under the control of the Interior Ministry.

Donald Symons (born 1942) is an American anthropologist best known as one of the founders of evolutionary psychology, and for pioneering the study of human sexuality from an evolutionary perspective. He is one of the most cited researchers in contemporary sex research. His work is referenced by scientists investigating an extremely diverse range of sexual phenomena. Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker describes Symons' The Evolution of Human Sexuality (1979) as a "groundbreaking book" and "a landmark in its synthesis of evolutionary biology, anthropology, physiology, psychology, fiction, and cultural analysis, written with a combination of rigor and wit. It was a model for all subsequent books that apply evolution to human affairs, particularly mine."
Symons is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His most recent work, with Catherine Salmon, is Warrior Lovers, an evolutionary analysis of slash fiction.

Zhangxin Qaghan () or Alp Külüg Bilge Qaghan was the eleventh ruler of Uyghurs. His personal name was Yaoluoge Hu (藥羅葛胡). He succeeded his uncle in 833.
Reign
Chinese records state that he sent an embassy led by Princess Taihe to Tang, accompanied with seven women horse-archers and two Shatuo captives on 16 June 835.
His peace policy with China proved him an unpopular ruler. This led to a rebellion in 839 by the Sogdian official An Yunhe (安允合) and Uyghur minister Chai Lei (柴勒). Qaghan was able to defeat and kill them, but a subsequent battle against another Uyghur official, general Jueluowu (掘羅勿) along with the Shatuo chief Zhuye Chixin was lost. Zhangxin died by suicide following the battle. He was succeeded by Qasar Qaghan.

The 52nd Fighter Squadron is an active reserve unit of the United States Air Force, assigned to the 944th Operations Group, 944th Fighter Wing. Stationed at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, the squadron was most recently activated on 6 August 2021. Previously, it was with the Western Air Defense Force, based at Hamilton Air Force Base, California until its inactivation on 8 June 1951.
History
World War II
Activated on 1 January 1941 as one of the three squadrons assigned to the 32nd Pursuit Group as part of the United States buildup of forces after the eruption of World War II. The squadron was equipped with Curtiss P-36A Hawks and Boeing P-26A Peashooters drawn from the 16th and 37th Pursuit Groups. After being formed at Albrook Field, Panama Canal Zone, the squadron was moved to Río Hato Army Air Base, Panama.
Following its stay at Rio Hato, the unit was ordered to France Field on 1 January 1942, and the squadron was equipped with Bell P-39 Airacobras. In early 1942, the Squadron was actively engaged in anti-submarine patrols, for which duty the aircraft were each armed with a 350 pound depth charge. Either 75-foot or 150-foot hydrostatic fuses were used, but, in every case, these were always dropped prior to returning to base.
On 12 May 1942, "C" Flight of the Squadron was sent to Seymour Island Airfield in the Galapagos Islands (just before the unit was redesignated as the 52nd Fighter Squadron on 15 May 1942), becoming one of the first fighter detachments stationed there, although the main squadron remained at France Field. The Galapagos Detachment was redesignated as "E" Flight on 31 October. The detachment's stay on the Galapagos lasted until 1 December 1942.
By 18 January 1943, the 52nd was at France Field. However, by 16 June, detachments were located at Rio Hato Army Air Base, Corozal (Canal Zone) and David Field, Panama, with Squadron Headquarters at France Field.
The unit ended its assignment to France Field on 23 March 1944 and, with the gradual wind-down of Sixth Air Force, was one of the units slated to be disbanded. The unit was subsequently disbanded on 25 May 1944.
Air Force Reserve
Activated in the reserve in June 1949 to train as an interceptor corollary squadron of the 78th Fighter-Interceptor Wing at Hamilton AFB. it was brought to active duty in June 1951 as a result of the Korean War, and inactivated a week later after its personnel were reassigned to become "fillers" in other USAF units.
The unit was reactivated at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona on 6 August 2021 by transitioning the 944th Operations Group's Detachment 2 to full squadron status.

The makila (sometimes spelled makhila) is a traditional Basque walking stick, and is notable as both a practical tool and a cultural symbol of authority and strength.
Etymology
"Makila" in Euskara (Basque language) literally can mean "stick", "walking cane", "rod", "club", or "mace". The word is derived from the Latin bacillum ("little staff"). "Makila" itself carries certain connotations, for instance in the verb form, makilatu, meaning "to bludgeon", or the derived makila-ukaldi, meaning "club-strike" or "mace-strike". The term outside of Basque country has come to be associated with the unique walking stick carried by Basques.
Appearance
The makila walking stick consists of an engraved medlar wood shaft cut to a length to suit its owner, generally either hipbone or sternum-height, . The bottom is often shod with steel or other metal and ends in a ferrule (blunt spike for traction). The handle is also often covered with metal or woven leather to form a hand-grip, with a lanyard attached to the bottom of this grip. The stick is capped with a flattened knob or pommel, made of horn, steel, or bronze. The top portion consisting of the knob and hand-grip can be pulled off the top of the stick, revealing a hidden spike or blade, which effectively turns the stick into a short spear. The pommel's shape is said to resemble the beret worn by the Basque shepherd.
Some makila are created for ceremonial purposes, often presented as gifts or awards to individuals. They are decorated with elaborate engravings and their metal parts are made of silver or gold. These are often 1.2 m (4 ft) long rather than a custom length.
History and crafting
The design of the makila is centuries old, and remains largely unchanged. There is little information known on its exact origin, but it may possibly be related to medieval times, as a concealable derivative of a particular form of lance or hunting spear.
The manufacturing process is as rooted in tradition as the finished product, and can take years to complete. It begins in spring, with the craftsman selecting a suitable branch from a medlar tree and carving a design into the living wood while it is still attached. The branch is left alone until late fall, during which the wood heals and expands the design on its surface. The craftsman must then return to where he found the tree and cut the branch down. The bark is then stripped off and the shaft is straightened out using careful heating in a kiln. After this, the stick must be dried by being stored for several years. Once this has happened, the wood is stained using a method that employs manure or quicklime to chemically burn and darken the wood, and then fitted with the various metal bands and fittings. The craftsman will sign his work with his family symbol or name, and also will engrave the handle or pommel with the recipients name, family crest or other text as requested.
Use
The makila is a practical walking stick and a weapon for self-defense. They were (and still are) carried by shepherds to help guide their flocks as well as defend against wolves and other wild predators. They are carried by hunters and hikers in the Basque country as walking aids, and they are used in traditional folk dances.
The makila can be swung by the handle for fast, light strikes or used the opposite way to strike with the pommel as an effective bludgeon. The concealed spike can be used to deadly effect either as a thrusting weapon, or thrown as a last resort.

Maximilian Jencquel is a Venezuelan-born, German and French designer. His notable projects include his private residences in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.
Early life and education
Johann Maximilian Jencquel was born in Caracas, Venezuela.
He attended a German school in Caracas until the age of 16. In 1994, with the political situation in Venezuela deteriorating and his older brothers having left their family home, his parents enrolled him in boarding school in Kent, Connecticut in the US.
Later, encouraged to go into business alongside his father, Jencquel enrolled in business school at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. After some time, he found that he was losing interest in business and instead enrolled in the University's art department.
After graduating from Lehigh with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts in the Summer of 2000, Jencquel moved to Paris. He enrolled at the ESAG Penninghen, formerly the Académie Julian. Here, he honed his drawing skills over two years. He then went on to study Interior Architecture at the same academy, and graduated in 2005 with a Master’s in Interior Architecture.
Jencquel's thesis project, Cabuya, was a bamboo house designed to be an alternative to contemporary construction techniques harmful to the environment. It was awarded the best student project with the Janus de l'Etudiant. Cabuya exhibited in Nantes at the in Saint-Etienne and the European Ways of Life design show.
Career
Jencquel was hired in April 2006 at Christian Liaigre's design studio in Paris.
He assisted in designing homes, and learned how to design furniture. Some key projects Jencquel was involved with while under the supervision of Liaigre himself and a team of senior designers are: a modern private residence in the city of Athens, a restaurant in Paris (La Societe), and Liaigre's apartment in Paris.
During his time at Liaigre, the company was sold to Edmund Rothschild Capital Partners, prompting many changes to the design studio.
Jencquel left Liaigre in July 2010 to move to the island of Bali with his girlfriend (now wife), Stefanie Gasser.
Studio Jencquel
Jencquel traveled to Indonesia several times while still employed in Europe.
In July 2010, he abandoned his professional career and settled in Ubud, Bali—Indonesia’s artistic and cultural capital.
He established Studio Jencquel, specializing in architecture, interior design, landscape and garden design, and furniture design, in Ubud in 2011.
In 2013, Jencquel started to construct his own home with the aid of a group of local carpenters in a style influenced by regional vernacular architecture and his own contemporary sense of design. The outcome was Rumah Hujan, built using reclaimed wood from an old bridge in Borneo. Other Bali residents began seeking his help in building their new homes.

Saratoga National Fish Hatchery is part of the National Fish Hatchery System operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. It is located northeast of Saratoga, Wyoming and, along with the Jackson National Fish Hatchery, is one of two National fish hatcheries operating in Wyoming. Saratoga NHF is primarily a broodstock hatchery; it maintains several healthy adults to produce sperm and eggs and distributes fertilized eggs to production hatcheries throughout the country to be hatched and grown to stockable sizes. It is also one of several organizations to establish a program for breeding Wyoming toads.
History
The Saratoga NFH was established in 1911 and construction of its facilities began in March 1915. It was originally established to meet stock demands in Wyoming and to be expanded as the state grew. While it had maintained a wide variety of broodstock from its opening in 1915, Saratoga NFH was not officially designated a broodstock hatchery until 1966. The facilities of the Saratoga NFH were renovated and expanded in 1995 and 1996.
Activities
Saratoga NFH has broodstock for egg production of various subspecies of lake trout, brown trout, and rainbow trout. Saratoga NFH also rears Yellowstone cutthroat trout for stock in various federal and state parks and for tribal lands in Wyoming. Saratoga NFH produces Lewis lake trout eggs for the Great Lakes Restoration Project, Plymouth Rock brown trout for various hatcheries nationwide and holds backup broodstock for McConaughy rainbow trout.
Tagging studies show that 75 percent of trout caught from Lake Huron were produced by the Saratoga NFH.
Saratoga NFH was one of several hatcheries that had made efforts towards the reintroduction of greenback cutthroat trout in various lakes and rivers by 2002.
In 1997, Saratoga NFH began breeding Wyoming toads as refugia and for future reintroduction efforts. It was the first in the NFHS to use its resources to raise endangered amphibians. It has since supplied hundreds of adult toads to Mortenson Lake National Wildlife Refuge and other locations for reintroduction, including more than 900 adult toads in a single release in June 2016.

Harford is a hamlet and civil parish located approximately north of the town of Ivybridge in the county of Devon, England. The parish lies in the local government district of the South Hams, which is a localised, second-tier governmental division of the non-metropolitan county of Devon, administered by Devon County Council.
With a parish population of just 77 people, it is the smallest civil parish in the South Hams by number of people. Part of the village (now town) of Ivybridge — the district's largest civil parish with 12,056 people — used to lye in the parish boundaries of Harford, until the parish of St John's was formed in 1836 (later renamed the parish of Ivybridge in 1894).

The Emirate of Dubai (; pr. ) is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates. It is the most populous emirate of the UAE. The capital of the emirate is the eponymous city, Dubai.
Geography
The city of Dubai is located on the coast of the Persian Gulf, while the Emirate stretches inland and is bordered to the south by the emirate of Abu Dhabi, to the northeast by the emirate of Sharjah, to the southeast by the country of Oman, to the east by the emirate of Ajman, and to the north by the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.
Municipalities
The 4 municipalities of Dubai are:
Dubai
Jebel Ali
Jumeirah
Hatta
History
In the early 19th century, the coastal township of Dubai was located within the territorial lands of the Bani Yas tribe, however Dubai was also on the borderlands near the control of the powerful Al Qasimi clan. This caused both groups to assert authority over the town.
In the 19th century, pearls were the main commodity of the region, with buyers from Mumbai, commerce peaked in 1897.
In 1901, Maktoum bin Hasher Al Maktoum established Dubai as a free port with no taxation on imports or exports and also gave merchants parcels of land and guarantees of protection and tolerance. These policies saw a movement of merchants not only directly from Lingeh, but also those who had settled in Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah (which had historical links with Lingeh through the Al Qawasim tribe) to Dubai. An indicator of the growing importance of Dubai can be gained from the movements of the steamer of the Bombay and Persia Steam Navigation Company, which from 1899 to 1901 paid five visits annually to Dubai. In 1902, the company's vessels made 21 visits to Dubai and from 1904 on, the steamers called fortnightly – in 1906, trading 70,000 tonnes of cargo. The frequency of these vessels helped to accelerate Dubai's role as an emerging port and trading hub of preference. British historian John Lorimer noted the transfer of merchants from Lingeh "bids fair to become complete and permanent", and also that the town had by 1906 supplanted Lingeh as the chief entrepôt of the Trucial States. By 1908, Dubai was home to a population of some 10,000 people.
By the 1930s and 1940s, the pearl business crashed due to cultured pearls from Japan. The economy crashed which triggered a famine. Hopes were reignited when in 1937 an oil exploration contract was signed which guaranteed royalty rights for Dubai and concessionary payments to Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum. However, due to World War II, oil would not be struck until 1966 at the Fateh oil field.
In December 1971, the emirates united to form the United Arab Emirates, thus ending their status as British Protectorates.
The ruler of the emirate is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The emirate is made up of various other municipalities and villages. The inland exclave of Hatta is located about 134 km east of the city of Dubai. The exclave is bordered by Oman to the east and south, the villages of Sayh Mudayrah and Masfout in Ajman to the west, and Ras Al Khaimah to the north.

The RealReal, Inc. is an online and brick-and-mortar marketplace for staff-authenticated luxury consignment. Based on the circular economy, The RealReal sells consigned clothing, fine jewelry, watches, fine art and home decor. It employs an in-house staff of experts including horologists, gemologists, art curators and luxury fashion authenticators who inspect items for authenticity and value; however, the company has received criticism for selling counterfeit merchandise, including from Forbes, which states often a single copywriter, not an authenticator, provides the only inspection for many items sold by The RealReal.
History
The RealReal was founded in 2011 by Julie Wainwright, an e-commerce entrepreneur. By July 2018, the company had raised $288 million in venture capital funding.
In 2017, The RealReal opened its first permanent retail store in New York City and opened pop-ups in San Francisco and Las Vegas. In 2018, it opened its second location in Los Angeles. In 2019, The RealReal opened a third location, its second in New York, on Madison Avenue. In 2020, the company opened its fourth location in San Francisco’s Union Square, a fifth in Chicago on the Magnificent Mile, and a sixth in Palo Alto, California. In 2021, the company opened locations in Brooklyn, New York, Newport Beach, California, Greenwich, Connecticut, Austin, Texas, Dallas, Marin, California, Atlanta, Manhasset, New York, and Palm Beach. In 2022, The RealReal opened a location in Brentwood, Los Angeles. As of February 4, 2022, The RealReal had 19 consignment offices across the U.S., 16 of which in its retail stores.
In early 2019, The RealReal announced it would be adding a half-million square foot e-commerce space in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, to its existing e-commerce centers in Secaucus, New Jersey, and Brisbane, California. In 2020, the company announced it signed a lease to open an additional e-commerce center in Phoenix, Arizona.
On May 31, 2019, The RealReal submitted a preliminary filing (S-1) to the SEC to go public.
On June 28, 2019, The RealReal went public on Nasdaq under the symbol REAL and raised $300 million during its IPO.
Counterfeits
The RealReal has had multiple claims from luxury designers that items on their website were counterfeit. In 2018, Chanel filed suit in the Federal Court of the Southern District of New York, alleging The RealReal for hosted counterfeit Chanel on their website and misled customers that an affiliation existed between the two.
In 2019, Richard Kestenbaum, writing for Forbes, disclosed purchasing a bag from The RealReal for $3,600, sold as an authenticated Christian Dior bag, that was found to be counterfeit. Kestenbaum claims the only authentication of many pieces at The RealReal is from a single copywriter, whose main task is to write the descriptions of the merchandise being sold, instead of the expert authenticators The RealReal advertises. In a 2021 update, Kestenbaum wrote about a customer who paid $1,000 for a pair of Christian Dior sneakers from The RealReal, but upon receiving them, was suspicious of their quality and sent the shoes to be authenticated by LegitGrails, a third party authenticator. LegitGrails uses no fewer than four authenticators to authenticate a single item, compared to The RealReal's alleged use of a single copywriter for authentication, and determined the customer's shoes were a "lower grade replica" of Dior sneakers. The RealReal refunded the customer; when Forbes asked the company for a comment, it stated it has the "most rigorous authentication process in the marketplace" and has added artificial intelligence to its authentication process. Forbes claims the large amount of merchandise processed by The RealReal to maintain profit margins (the company went public in 2019) makes it inevitable that counterfeit products slip past its authentication and into the hands of customers.
In early 2020, TheRealReal was sued in a class action lawsuit regarding misstatements to investors, alleging that authenticators were given very little training and strict quotas that resulted in the potential for counterfeit or mislabeled items to make it through the company's authentication process more often than purported.
The RealReal alerts law enforcement of counterfeit items it receives. Items sent to The RealReal deemed "friendly fakes", counterfeit items purchased unintentionally, are usually returned to the client; others are destroyed or retained for training purposes.
Sustainability
In 2017, The RealReal announced a sustainability partnership with luxury fashion brand Stella McCartney, which launched in 2018.
It also established the first Monday in October as National Consignment Day, an annual holiday. The following year, to mark National Consignment day, The RealReal launched a custom sustainability calculator. Developed with environmental consulting firm Shift Advantage, it measures the environmental impact of consignments processed by the company. In 2019, the company marked National Consignment Day by launching a second sustainability partnership with luxury brand Burberry. For National Consignment Day 2020, The RealReal announced its third sustainability partnership with Gucci. When consumers consign or buy Gucci on The RealReal through the end of 2020, a donation will be made to One Tree Planted to support its mission to protect biodiversity and reforestation.

John Douglas Surman (born 30 August 1944) is an English jazz saxophone, clarinet, and synthesizer player, and composer of free jazz and modal jazz, often using themes from folk music. He has composed and performed music for dance performances and film soundtracks.
Life and career
Surman was born in Tavistock, Devon, England. He initially gained recognition playing baritone saxophone in the Mike Westbrook Band in the mid-1960s, and was soon heard regularly playing soprano saxophone and bass clarinet as well. His first playing issued on a record was with the Peter Lemer Quintet in 1966. After further recordings and performances with jazz bandleaders Mike Westbrook and Graham Collier and blues-rock musician Alexis Korner, he made the first record under his own name in 1968.
In 1969, he founded The Trio along with two expatriate American musicians, bassist Barre Phillips and drummer Stu Martin. In the mid-1970s, he founded one of the earliest all-saxophone jazz groups, S.O.S., along with alto saxophonist Mike Osborne and tenor saxophonist Alan Skidmore. During this early period, he also recorded with (among others) saxophonist Ronnie Scott, guitarist John McLaughlin, bandleader Michael Gibbs, trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff, and pianist Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath.
By 1972, he had begun experimenting with synthesizers. That year he recorded Westering Home, the first of several solo projects on which he played all parts himself via overdubbing. He recorded his final album with Mike Westbrook, Citadel/Room 315 in 1975.
Many of the musical relationships he established during the 1970s continued for decades. These include a quartet with pianist John Taylor, bassist Chris Laurence, and drummer John Marshall; duets and other projects with Norwegian singer Karin Krog (Surman's long-term partner); and duets and other projects with American drummer/pianist Jack DeJohnette.
His relationship with ECM Records has also been continuous from the late 1970s to the present, as Surman has recorded prolifically for the label playing bass clarinet, recorders, soprano and baritone saxophones and using synthesisers, both solo and with a wide range of other musicians.
He was featured in a profile on composer Graham Collier in the 1985 Channel 4 documentary 'Hoarded Dreams'
Since the 1990s, he has composed several suites of music that feature his playing in unusual contexts, including with church organ and chorus (Proverbs and Songs, 1996); with a classical string quintet (Coruscating); and with the London Brass and Jack DeJohnette (Free and Equal, 2001). He has also played in a unique trio with Tunisian oud-player Anouar Brahem and bassist Dave Holland (Thimar, 1997); has performed the songs of John Dowland with singer John Potter formerly of the Hilliard Ensemble; and made contributions to the drum and bass album Disappeared by Spring Heel Jack.
Other musicians he has worked with include bassist Miroslav Vitouš, bandleader Gil Evans, pianist Paul Bley and Vigleik Storaas, saxophonist (and composer) John Warren, guitarists Terje Rypdal and John Abercrombie and trumpeter Tomasz Stańko.

Vladimir Davidovich Baranov-Rossiné, also spelled Baranoff-Rosiné (; 13 January 1888, Velyka Lepetykha – 1944, Auschwitz), born Shulim Wolf Leib Baranov, was a Russian painter and sculptor active in Russia and France. His work belonged to the avant-garde movement of Cubo-Futurism. He was also an inventor.
Biography
Vladimir Baranov-Rossiné was born in Kherson, Russian Empire (present day Ukraine) in a Jewish family.
In 1902, he studied at the School of the Society for the Furthering of the Arts in St. Petersburg. From 1903 to 1907, he attended the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg. In 1908 he exhibited with the group Zveno (The Link) in Kyiv organized by the artist David Burliuk and his brother Wladimir Burliuk.
In 1910, he moved to Paris, where until 1914 he was a resident in the artist's colony La Ruche together with Alexander Archipenko, Sonia Delaunay-Terk, Nathan Altman and others. He exhibited regularly in Paris after 1911.
He returned to Russia in 1914. In 1916, he had a solo exhibition in Oslo. In 1918, he had exhibits with the union of artists Mir Iskusstva (World of Art) in Petrograd (St. Petersburg). In the same year, he had an exhibition with the Jewish Society for the Furthering of the Arts in Moscow, together with Nathan Altman, El Lissitzky and David Shterenberg. He participated at the First State Free Art Exhibition in Petrograd in 1919.
In 1919 he married Yudin Raisa from Kherson. In March 1920, they had a son named Evgeny, but Raisa died from complications after child birth.
In 1922, Baranov-Rossiné was the teacher at the Higher Artistic-Technical Workshops (VKhUTEMAS) in Moscow and exhibited in the First Russian Art Exhibition in Berlin.
In 1924, he had the first presentation of his optophonic piano during a performance at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow - a synaesthetic instrument that was capable of creating sounds and coloured lights, patterns and textures simultaneously.
In 1925, he emigrated to France. During the German occupation of France, he was arrested and deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he was murdered in 1944.
Art style
Continuously experimenting, Baranoff-Rossine applied the art of colour to military art with the technique of camouflage or the Cameleon process and this was marketed with Robert Delaunay. Baranov-Rossiné is credited as an author of pointillist and dynamic military camouflage. He also invented a "photochromometer" that allowed the determination of the qualities of precious stones. In another field, he perfected a machine that made, sterilized and distributed fizzy drinks, the "Multiperco", and this received several technical awards at the time.

Diego Rodríguez (Atitalaquia c.1596, in Mexico City – 1668) was a mathematician, astronomer, educator, and technological innovator in New Spain. He was one of the most important figures in the scientific field in the colony in the second half of the seventeenth century.
Background
In 1613 he entered the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy.
Scientific revolution
For thirty years Father Rodríguez maintained in his writing and teaching the separation of the exact sciences from metaphysics and theology. He tried to propound the heliocentric theory of Nicolaus Copernicus without, in his writings, openly breaking with the scholastic tradition. He wrote on the astronomical findings of Galileo Galilei, but without directly endorsing them or attacking the classical cosmology. Nevertheless, these were radical steps, and the scientific community he headed in Mexico accepted them about 30 years before their colleagues in Spain. One reason for this surprising difference is that the books of modern science originating in Protestant countries were refused entry into Spain by the censors. Booksellers, in order not to lose their investments, often sent the contraband books on to America. Because of this aspect of Rodriguez's work, he was a target of Mexican Inquisition.
Rodríguez was at the center of a small circle of intellectuals that met semiclandestinely in private homes to discuss the new ideas. The 1640s, however, brought them to the attention of the Inquisition. A series of investigations and trials followed, continuing into the mid-1650s. A frantic hiding of books followed the Inquisition's 1647 edict imposing careful censorship on scientific works. In July 1655 the Inquisition required all Mexico City's booksellers (six) to submit their book lists to the Holy Office for approval, on pain of fine and excommunication.
Melchor Pérez de Soto, one of the group of scientific modernizers headed by Diego Rodríguez and chief architect at the cathedral, was subjected to the Inquisition. Thanks to this process, a catalog of his library, more than 1,660 volumes, has come down to us. Many of the works dealt with the modern science of contemporary Europe; many others had more traditional content.
Works
BBC Rodríguez wrote many works, some of them truly revolutionary contributions to mathematics (like his treatise on logarithms), astronomy and engineering. He also wrote treatises on technology, such as the one dealing with the construction of precise clocks. Many of these works were developed for his own courses in the university; others were written to support his own investigations. In the latter category is the report on the prediction and exact measurement of eclipses, which is fundamental for calculation of exact geographic positions (longitude), because the eclipse permits synchronization of the time with that in other geographic localities. This and his work on the improvement of clocks allowed him to measure the longitude of Mexico City with a precision greater than Alexander von Humboldt was able to make a century and a half later, even with improved methods. Rodríguez's Peruvian student and correspondent, Francisco Ruiz Lozano, used the samtechnique to measure the position of his birthplace, Lima, Peru.
Evaluation
It is strange that the many valuable contributions of Rodríguez and his students did not make a bigger impact on the history of the colony. His methods of calculating positions were not used by Spanish navigators, who could have benefited greatly from them. Most of his writings were never published, remaining in manuscript. In New Spain it was difficult to print them, not only because of high costs but also because special type faces were unavailable, for example, for mathematical symbols. And there was no market for the published works. For that reason some of his manuscripts were sent to Spain, but there was no greater interest there and they were ignored. At his death in 1668, most of his manuscripts were buried in the library of his order; the rest were dispersed in private collections or were irretrievably lost.
Rodríguez's successors in the chair of astronomy and mathematics occupied the position only briefly, and are of little interest, up until Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora took over the position in 1672.

Antonio Álvarez Giráldez (born 10 April 1955) is a Spanish former football central defender and manager.
Playing career
Born in Marchena, Seville, and a product of hometown Sevilla FC's youth system, Álvarez made his La Liga debut during the 1975–76 season, scoring once in eight games as the team finished in 11th position. In the following decade he would be more often than not an undisputed starter for the Andalusians, eventually playing 370 matches all competitions comprised.
At the end of the 1987–88 campaign, still with Sevilla in the top division, the 33-year-old Álvarez – having made just 17 league appearances – opted to move on, and signed with neighbouring CD Málaga. In summer 1991 he joined another club in the region, Segunda División B's Granada CF, eventually retiring at the age of 40.
Coaching career
After retiring, Álvarez eventually worked again with main club Sevilla, serving as assistant under several coaches, the first Joaquín Caparrós in 2000. He was part of Juande Ramos' staff as they won two consecutive UEFA Cups and one Copa del Rey, amongst other accolades.
In March 2010, after roughly two years as Sevilla's director of football, Álvarez replaced former teammate Manolo Jiménez as first-team manager following his dismissal, after Luis Aragonés, recently departed from Beşiktaş JK, declined an offer to coach the side. He led the team throughout the last ten fixtures of the season, winning six, losing four and robbing RCD Mallorca of the fourth place which qualified for the UEFA Champions League in the last minute of the last matchday, a 3–2 away win against neighbours UD Almería.
On 19 May 2010, Álvarez was also on the bench as Sevilla won the Spanish Cup, with goals from youth graduates Diego Capel and Jesús Navas (2–0). Four months later, following two losses and one draw in three games (two in the league and one in the UEFA Europa League), he was sacked.

9Go! is an Australian free-to-air digital television multichannel, which was launched by the Nine Network on 9 August 2009, replacing Nine Guide. It is a youthful channel that offers a mix of comedy, reality, general entertainment, movies, animation and drama aimed at people between the ages of 2 and 18.
History
2009: Origins and launch
The general concept for GO! was revealed on 23 March 2009, with the Nine Network announcing their intention to start a standard-definition variety-based multichannel, launched midway through 2009. The channel's name and branding was first revealed as GO!99 on 14 April 2009 by TV Tonight, a blog dedicated to Australian television.
The channel's final name was confirmed by the Nine Network via A Current Affair as GO! on 15 July 2009, as well as multi-coloured logo variations.
The channel went to air at on 5 August 2009, broadcasting a promo loop. GO! officially began broadcasting scheduled programming from 9 August 2009 at with a 1-minute promo featuring the song "Go!" by Sydney based sound house group Noise International featuring vocals by Sharon Muscat. It was then followed by an episode of Wipeout, the first programme to air on the new channel.
Darwin received the channel in October 2010 (over a year after other capital cities started transmitting the multi channel). From December 2010, Nine Network affiliate Imparja Television commenced transmission of the GO! channel to viewers in remote areas of Central, Northern and Eastern Australia,
before expanding to Eastern South Australia on 11 November 2011.
There have been reports that GO!'s technical launch had caused a significant number of digital TV receivers to no longer pick up Nine's digital channels. In response, Nine established a helpline for viewers experiencing problems or requiring assistance to tune in to the new channel.
On 24 November 2009, the channel launched via Foxtel Cable on channel 129.
After major demands for the channel's theme song (which was written specifically for the channel, going as far as remixes of the 1-minute cut being played in clubs), it was released independently by Noise International on 4 December 2009, having promised a month earlier. A music video was also produced (notable for the usage of neon dancers), which was regularly shown as a filler on the channel.
2010–2014
GO! celebrated its first birthday in 2010 by playing movies every night at 10pm during the month of August 2010. GO! also played a mini clip during the commercial breaks thanking everyone for watching GO!.
In September 2010, GO! aired a promo promoting new shows using the song All Eyes on Me by Sammy Small, licensed from Extreme Music.
GO! introduced Newsbursts, a news-break filler program in 2010. Presented by Sophie Walsh, these would usually feature a few breaking news stories and the weather. These were later dropped in 2011, replaced by repeats of Nine Newsbreak.
GO! received a new on-air presentation for 2011. GO! also played a mini clip after programs during Summer 2010/2011, featuring the song "Hello" by The Potbelleez, using the slogan "Let's GO! 2011" to promote new shows airing on the channel. This presentation remained (mostly) unchanged for the next few years.
2014–2016: Rebrand and refocus
On 26 November 2015, the Nine Network introduced a network-wide rebrand of all of its digital channels with GO! being renamed 9Go!. Additionally, 9Go! was moved to channel 93, but a simulcast currently remains available on channel 99. Later, 9Go!'s on-air theme was changed for a continuous design across all of its channels. This included a new look for program listings, program advertisements and promos and introduced the in program classifications.
2016–present: Regional media shakeup and beyond
Nine announced that it had signed a new affiliation deal with Southern Cross Austereo on 29 April 2016, replacing WIN Television as the primary Nine affiliate starting 1 July 2016. Consequently, 9Go! was broadcast by Southern Cross into Regional Queensland, Southern NSW/ACT and Regional Victoria on channel 53, also on TDT in Tasmania on channel 53.
On 12 December 2016, 9Go!'s daytime schedule was mostly reformatted into a children's programming block branded Go! Kids. Children's programming aired from 6am to 6pm on 9Go! in addition to being available via streaming on the 9Now service, with regular programming broadcast outside of those hours. In late 2019, the Go! Kids block was no longer in this network because the cancellation of Kids' WB and their long-running output deal with Warner Bros, but remained online instead.
Nine announced that WIN Television has returned as the primary Nine regional affiliate from 2021. Consequently 9Go! got bumped up to channel 82.
Programming
Original plans for 9Go! suggested it would consist of a mix of entertainment and lifestyle programming (this rule wasn't featured until the launch of future Female-oriented HD channel 9Gem in 2010). However, this branding was replaced by a youth-orientated light-entertainment channel instead. 9Go!'s programming is generally structured under nightly themed blocks, which consists of comedy on Sunday, all new reality shows on Tuesday, sci-fi on Wednesday, female-skewed drama on Thursday (until the launch of 9Gem, when it was replaced by movies instead), and movies on Friday. Movies screen with "limited and brief commercial breaks". The schedule is designed not to cannibalise viewers from the main Nine channel.
It was announced in June 2009 that the Nine Network had signed a $500 million deal with Warner Bros. to continue its current output deal for another five years from 2011 to 2015. The deal helped Nine retain existing content (including many television series and films), as well as providing new content for both its primary channel, 9Gem (launched in 2010) and 9Go!.
The network also has ongoing content new and classic film and television brands from Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, DC Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, Castle Rock Entertainment, Village Roadshow Pictures, StudioCanal, Lionsgate, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Sony Pictures, DreamWorks Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures and Illumination.

Crying for the Carolines is a 1930 short film made by Leon Schlesinger. The theme for this short film is played on the Wurlitzer organ formerly installed at Warner Brothers studios by Milton Charles, a theatre organist during the silent era of film. He is dubbed the 'Singing Organist' in the film.
The film, which was recorded on Western Electric apparatus, was the only one made in a planned series called Spooney Melodies. The film is a music video to advertise the song sung by Charles. The organ music was written by Frank Marsales, who would go on to write the musical arrangements for the Merrie Melodies series, including the cartoon Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!
Plot
The films open, with art deco style animation, set to organ music. After, some animation. It cuts to Charles playing the organ and singing Cryin' for the Carolines, a song written by Harry Warren, Sam Lewis, and Joe Young the same year. The film's animation which is shown throughout the film includes, a forest, a city and a sun shining over a country plain. Milton Charles is portrayed in voice and live action footage throughout the short, as he sings the song.
Background
The song, Cryin' for the Carolines, is originally featured in the 1930 Warner Bros. film Spring is Here, which was issued on the sound system Vitaphone, which was accomplished with a record player which played a disk in time with the projector, which would be higher quality than sound-on-film. In the film, the song was sung by The Brox Sisters.
Availability
The planned series was short-lived, with Warner Brothers instead going for the Merrie Melodies series, beginning with 1931's Lady, Play Your Mandolin!. This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6's 3rd disc.
Reception
Crying for the Carolines was reviewed by the magazine Photoplay in its 1930 December issue. The magazine spoke positively about the film, citing that the film is a "distinct relief from the monotony of many sound shorts". The magazine also said that the short is notable for the "beauty of the results obtained", from the painting and the drawings featured in the film, "as well as the novelty of the film."

Raphael Gray (born in Lambeth, London) is a British computer hacker who, at the age of 19, hacked computer systems around the world over a period of six weeks as part of a multi-million pound credit card mission. He then proceeded to publish credit card details of over 6,500 cards as an example of weak security in the growing number of consumer websites.
Biography
Gray was able to break into the secure systems using an £800 computer he bought in his home town Clynderwen, Pembrokeshire, Wales. After publishing the credit card info on his websites, Gray posted a personal message saying law enforcers would never find him "because they never catch anyone. The police can't hack their way out of a paper bag." He also sent Viagra tablets to Bill Gates' address and then published what he claimed to be the billionaire's own number.
He was tracked down by ex-hacker Chris Davis who was insulted by Gray's "arrogance". It took Davis under a day to find Gray's information, which he then forwarded to the FBI. "The FBI was actually quite easy to deal with, although technically, they didn't really understand what it was I was explaining to them. The local police were also very polite, but they didn't understand it," said Davis. Gray was arrested when FBI agents and officers from the local Dyfed Powys Police turned up at the door of his home, which he shared with his mother, brother and sister in March 2000.

RMM Records, also known as RMM Records & Video Corp, was an independent Latin music record label established in 1987 and based in New York City. The label was most active during the late 1980s and early 1990s and produced primarily salsa, Latin jazz, and merengue music. At its peak, RMM Records employed 55 staff members and had distribution deals in 42 cities around the world, occupying 9,000 square feet in two floors at its Soho headquarters. The label was established by Fania Records promoter Ralph Mercado, who had established RMM Management in 1972 as an artist management and booking agency, providing bookings for Latin artists Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, and Ray Barretto.
Artists who recorded for the label included Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Tito Nieves, Oscar D'Leon, Eddie Palmieri, Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Miranda, José Alberto "El Canario", Tony Vega, Johnny Rivera, Ray Sepúlveda, Domingo Quiñones, Miles Peña, Orquesta Guayacan, Conjunto Clasico, Manny Manuel, the New York Band, Marc Anthony & La India. Record producers included Sergio George, Isidro Infante, and Humberto Ramirez.
Empire and legacy
RMM filed for bankruptcy in November 2000, selling its assets to Universal Music Group. According to the NY Times, unpaid royalties, as well as a lawsuit settlement of $7.7 million to Glenn Monroig totaling over $11 million, plus interest, contributed to the end of RMM Records. On June 25, 2001, as part of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy sale, Universal Music Group (UMG) announced the acquisition of RMM’s assets.
Founder and key staff
Ralph Mercado Jr. (September 29, 1941 – March 10, 2009) was born in Brooklyn to a Puerto Rican mother and Dominican father. He entered the music business as a teenager, organizing parties and dances as president of a neighborhood social club. In the 1960s, he promoted R & B and soul artists like James Brown and paired them with Latin artists like Mongo Santamaria. In the 1980s-1990s, Mercado was a promoter of Latin Jazz, Latin rock, Merengue and Salsa. He established a network of businesses that promoted concerts, managed artists, and led to the foundation of the record label Ritmo Mundo Musical (RMM). Following the bankruptcy of RMM in 2000, Ralph Mercado returned to artist promotion.
Debra A. Mercado, starting in the early 1990s, was RMM's National Director of Publicity, as well as overseeing international promotions generated by RMM International. She also was in charge of public relations for four other enterprises: RMM (Management), Ralph Mercado Presents, Caribbean Waves Music (ASCAP), and Crossing Borders Music Inc. (BMI).
Damaris L Mercado, started her production career with her father while in her teens. She moved up the ranks from Production Assistant on concerts and music video projects traveling to different cities and countries and landing in Miami. There she worked out of the RMM Records office based in the Sony Discos headquarters as Manager of Production & Manufacturing eventually making her way back to New York City during the transition to Universal Music and culminating her position as Director of Global Production & Manufacturing.
George Nenadich, who has been with Sirius XM Radio on the Caliente channel for the last 11 years as host of the very popular classic salsa program "Salsa Nation" on Caliente, every Saturday morning at 10:00am EST, as well as Rumbon (a 24Hour classic salsa channel launched by George Nenadich with the program La Jungla de Rumbon every Friday night at 7pm EST), became part of RMM Records in November 1988 as Promotions Director. One of the first employees of the label along with Martha Cancel (who was there prior and managed the everyday operations of the label at that time, including promotions).

The Azimut Hotel Murmansk is a high-rise hotel in the center of Murmansk, Russia. It opened in 1984, as the Hotel Arktika () and was renamed the Azimut Hotel Murmansk in 2014, following major renovations. It is the tallest building in Murmansk and the tallest building located north of the Arctic Circle.
Description
The hotel is located at 82 Lenin Avenue at Five Corners, Murmansk's main square. Prior to its 2009 closing, the hotel had a restaurant (also called "Arctic"), a cafe (the "Day and Night"), a billiards room, a hairdressing salon, a tanning salon, and several shops, bars, and coffee shops.
History
The first Murmansk hotel named "Arktika" opened in 1933. It was a four–story brick building with 100 rooms. In 1972 – 1984 the old hotel was demolished and replaced by the current building.
Before 1988 the hotel was a state enterprise. In 1990 it became the property of a joint Soviet–Swedish company. In 1996 it acquired the status of a municipal hotel and restaurant complex, in 2003 it became a municipal unitary enterprise, and in 2006 it was privatized. Half the shares are held by the City of Murmansk and half by the Azimut Hotels Corporation.
In 1996 (the 80th anniversary of the establishment of Murmansk), following an initiative by mayor Oleg Naydenov, chimes were installed in the hotel which play "My Beloved Arctic", the unofficial anthem of the Murmansk region. The chimes were silenced from 2007 to 2009 for repairs.
Renovation
In 2009 the Hotel Arctic was closed for renovation, to upgrade the comfort and safety of the hotel.
The renovation was undertaken by the Azimut Hotels Company, the architectural firm of Nikolai Lyzlov, and a British architectural firm.
The renovation was designed so as to update the facade, increase the number of elevators, and provide space for boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. The utilities were to be updated, the outdated fire safety systems was to be replaced, and the average room size was to be increased to . The first six or seven floors were converted to office space, with hotel rooms occupying only the upper ten floors.
The hotel reopened as the Azimut Hotel Murmansk on 13 September 2014.
Notable guests
Various persons of note stayed at the old or new Arctic, including the Soviet physicist Sergei Vavilov, the arctic explorers Vladimir Wiese, Otto Schmidt, and Ivan Papanin, the Soviet writers Veniamin Kaverin, Konstantin Simonov, and Valentin Kataev, and the Russian/Soviet zoologist Nikolai Knipovich. The hotel provides accommodation for participants in the Northern Festival (the "Polar Olympics") which is held in Murmansk.
In literature
The Arctic is mentioned in the poem "A Toast to Zhenya" by Yuri Vizbor:

The Plaza de Armas of Cusco is located in the city of Cusco, Peru. Located in the historic center of the city is the main public space of the town since before its Spanish foundation in 1534.
Geological studies carried out in the area show that it originally had a swamp, crossed by the Saphy River (currently channeled and covered). During the Inca Empire, this swamp was dried up and transformed into the administrative, religious and cultural center of the imperial capital. It was the place where all kinds of ceremonies were held and the victories of the Inca army were celebrated. After the Spanish conquest, it was transformed into a plaza (square) by the new rulers, who built Catholic temples and mansions on the ruins of the ancient Inca palaces. In this square, Túpac Amaru II was executed in 1781 as well as the cacique Bernardo Tambohuacso, Mateo Pumacahua and several other heroes of the independence of Peru.
Today it is the central core of modern Cusco, surrounded by tourist restaurants, jewelry stores, travel agencies and the same Catholic churches built during the colonial period and which constitute two of the most important monuments of the city: the Cathedral of Cusco and the Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús (Church of the Society of Jesus).
Since 1972, the building has been part of the Monumental Zone of Cusco, declared a Historic Monument of Peru. Likewise, in 1983, as part of the historic center of the city of Cusco, it became part of the central zone declared by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site.
Controversy over the original name
There is still no agreement on the proper name in Quechua that the current Plaza de Armas bore during the time of the Incas. According to some authors, such as María Rostworowski, who follows Gonzales Holguín's theory, the name was called Aucaypata (Awqay(?) Pata (in Quechua: place of the warrior)). Others like Angles Vargas say it was Huacaypata (Waqay Pata, (in Quechua: place of weeping)). According to him, the name contrasts perfectly with the name of the other sector of the Plaza Kusipata which means: Plaza del Regocijo (Rejoicing Square). Others like the North American traveler George Squier (whose expedition to Cusco was in 1863) assure that its name was Huacapata (in Quechua: sacred place).
Victor Angles explains that the Plaza was formed by two sectors: Huacaypata and Cusipata (everyone agrees on the name of the latter) separated by the Saphy River and both would have a symbolic meaning because while the first one means place of crying the second one means place of rejoicing. According to the author this would be due to the meditation ceremonies of the Inca nobles in the square which ended in crying. These ceremonies were forbidden by an archbishop and were replaced by "the three-hour sermon" of the Cusco Cathedral, which also usually ended in tears. Currently the population of Cusco in general agrees that its ancient name was Huacaypata.
History
Swamp
When Manco Cápac arrived in the valley of Cusco, he settled in the surroundings of a swamp located between two streams (Saphy and Tullumayo) because that place was free from the threats of neighboring ethnic groups. The swamp was formed due to the continuous irrigation of the Saphy and Tullumayu rivers. Manco Capac built his palace called Colcampata at the base of the Sacsayhuaman plateau and the city was always built around the swamp. Sinchi Roca, son and successor of Manco Capac dried the swamp with earth brought from the mountains and later Pachacuti was in charge of drying it completely covering the swamp with sand brought from the coast.
Inca Empire
During the Inca period, the main square was larger than the current square because in addition to the current square (former Huacaypata) it occupied the entire area of the current Plaza Regocijo (formerly Cusipata), the "Hotel Cusco" and the blocks located between Calle Espaderos, Calle del Medio and Calle Mantas. Precisely these blocks and the Calle del Medio were crossed by the Saphy River (currently covered and made sewer), which divided the square into its two sectors already known. It was the religious and administrative center of the Inca Empire. As well as being the main axis of the Inca road. Around the square were the palaces of Pachacuti, Huayna Capac and Viracocha Inca.
Palaces
The square was surrounded by the palaces of the Incas as well as plots of land destined for future palaces. The palace of Pachacuti was called Qasana and was located on the northwest side of the square on the site that today corresponds to the Portal de Panes and is circumscribed by Calle Plateros, Calle Tigre, Calle Teqsecocha and Calle Procuradores. The palace of Huayna Capac was called Amaru Cancha and was located on the southeast side of the square on the site that is now occupied by the Iglesia de la Compañía, the Portal de la Compañía, the University Auditorium and also the Palace of Justice. This site is now circumscribed by the Calle Loreto, Calle Afligidos, Calle Mantas and Avenida El Sol. The palace of the Inca Viracocha called Sunturwasi nowadays corresponds to the block where the Cathedral is located. Additionally, the current Portal de Harinas corresponds to the old palace called Korakora and the Portal de Carrizos to the old Acllawasi.
During the Inca period, this was where almost all the Inca festivals were celebrated, including Inti Raymi, Huarachicuy, the Amaru dance, Capac Raymi, etc. It was also where the main fairs were held and where the victories of the Inca army were celebrated. The Inca armies were received in the Plaza de Armas of Cusco, where the spoils were exhibited and the prisoners of war were trampled as a sign of victory.
Conquest
When the Spaniards arrived in Cusco, they stayed in the Inca palaces around the square. Later, they built viceroyal mansions, cathedrals, temples and chapels over the Inca palaces. In 1545 the chief magistrate Polo de Ondergardo ordered the removal of the beach sand that was on the floor of the square to use it in the construction of the Cusco Cathedral. In 1555, the chief magistrate of Cuzco, Sebastián Garcilaso de la Vega authorized the construction of buildings in the middle of the Huacaypata thus generating the blocks currently located between Calle Espaderos, Calle Del Medio, Calle Mantas, Calle Heladeros and Calle Espinar as well as the current Plaza de Armas, Plaza Regocijo, Plaza Espinar and the Hotel de Turistas which, during the Viceroyalty served as the Casa de Moneda.
Present day
At the present time, the Plaza de Armas is surrounded by tourist restaurants, jewelry stores, travel agencies and tourist stores, etc. The two temples built around it are maintained as such during the hours of worship, outside these hours they are museums open to the public upon payment of the corresponding fees.
Most of the buildings still have some Inca walls in their foundations, but it is the colonial style that prevails. The importance of the area makes it the most expensive in the city of Cusco. In some cases the rent of a local exceeds 1500 dollars per month. In the first decade of the 21st century, several national and international franchises entered the Cusco market, opening their first stores in the Plaza de Armas, such as the Peruvian company Bembos and the American companies McDonald's, Starbucks and KFC.
The square is still the place of celebrations of many Cuzco folkloric festivities such as Santiraticuy, Corpus Christi, Easter, etc. and many other modern festivities such as the Fiestas Patrias, Fiestas del Cusco, New Year, etc. Occasionally the Plaza de Armas is the site of some free concerts, parades of delegations and some political rallies.

Interstate 15 (I-15) runs north–south in the U.S. state of Utah through the southwestern and central portions of the state, passing through most of the state's population centers, including St. George and those comprising the Wasatch Front: Provo–Orem, Salt Lake City, and Ogden–Clearfield. It is Utah's primary and only north–south interstate highway, as the vast majority of the state's population lives along its corridor; the Logan metropolitan area is the state's only Metropolitan Statistical Area through which I-15 does not pass. In 1998, the Utah State Legislature designated Utah's entire portion of the road as the Veterans Memorial Highway.
Route description
The Interstate passes through the fast-growing Dixie region, which includes St. George and Cedar City, and eventually most of the major cities and suburbs along the Wasatch Front, including Provo, Orem, Sandy, West Jordan, Salt Lake City, Layton, and Ogden. Around Cove Fort, I-70 begins its journey eastward across the country. The Interstate merges with I-80 for about from South Salt Lake to just west of Downtown Salt Lake City and merges with I-84 from Ogden to Tremonton. Along nearly its entire length through the state, I-15 winds its way along the western edge of a nearly continuous range of mountains (including the Wasatch Range in the northern half of the state). The only exceptions are when it passes through the mountains south of Cedar City and, again, north of Cove Fort.
Southern Utah
From Las Vegas, Nevada, I-15 winds and slightly inclines through the Virgin River Gorge in northwest Arizona, then it crosses the border into Utah and Washington County. Just past the border, there is a port of entry on each side of the freeway. These ports of entry (weigh stations) are jointly operated by the states of Utah and Arizona and are the first northbound exit and last southbound exit on I-15 in Utah. Heading north-northeast, it continues with two lanes in each direction until it reaches an interchange with Southern Parkway (SR-7), which provides access to the St. George Regional Airport. After SR-7, the route turns north as it passes the Bloomington area of the City of St. George and an interchange at Brigham Road, where an auxiliary lane is added before it crosses the Virgin River. This marks the lowest elevation along I-15 in Utah, above sea level. Immediately north of the Virgin River and partially spanning the Santa Clara River, is the Dixie Drive interchange. A collector ramp is added between Dixie Drive and the next interchange with Bluff Street (SR-18). I-15 then narrows to two lanes in each direction and turns northeast again, where it passes the eastern side of downtown St. George, with an interchange at St. George Boulevard (SR-34). The Bluff Street and St. George Boulevard interchanges are the southern and northern ends of the St. George I-15 Business Loop. From this point north, I-15 generally follows the route of the Old US 91, maintaining a two-lane configuration until it reaches the Wasatch Front in the north-central part of the state. (The route of Old US 91, in turn, followed the older Arrowhead Trail highway to Salt Lake City.)
After leaving St. George, I-15 continues northeast and passes through the northern part of the city of Washington. An auxiliary lane is added between St. George Boulevard and Green Springs Road with additional interchanges at Washington Parkway and State Street (SR-9). Northeast of Washington, I-15 passes through the northwestern side of the town of Leeds, with one-way interchanges on the southwest and northeast ends of town. After passing through the northwestern part of Toquerville, and an interchange with SR-17 (at Anderson Junction), I-15 resumes a more north-northeastern course as it ascends about higher on the Colorado Plateau. Along the way, it passes through the areas of Browse and Pintura, with interchanges at both, as well as two more ranch exits further northeast. After its ascent, it passes by the east of side of Ash Creek Reservoir and then by the northwest corner of Zion National Park, with an interchange providing access to the Kolob Canyon area of the park. Next is an interchange that provides access to New Harmony (several miles west) and Kanarraville (several miles to the northeast). This interchange is also at the border of Washington County and Iron County.
Just after entering Iron County, I-15 reaches the southernmost rest areas along its route within the state (with one each, northbound and southbound). After passing about a mile () west of Kanarraville, it reaches an interchange in Hamilton Fort. The freeway then briefly turns nearly east before turning north again to pass through the west side of Cedar City. The first interchange is at the southern end of SR-130 (Main Street) and the Cedar City I-15 Business Loop. Just north is the 200 South (SR-56) interchange, which provides access to downtown Cedar City as well as the Cedar City Regional Airport. After this interchange, the freeway turns northeast before the final Cedar City interchange with SR-130 (once again). This interchange is also the northern end of the Cedar City I-15 Business Loop, although no longer indicated as such by signage. The freeway then passes by the eastern edge of Enoch, but without an interchange within that city. After an interchange within the area of Summit, I-15 heads east-northeast before passing by the northwest edge of Parowan, with interchanges on the west (200 South / SR-143) and north (Main Street / SR-274) sides of town. After Parowan, the freeway curves back to a northeast course as it passes about a mile () west of Paragonah and reaches an interchange on the north side of that city (SR-271). Continuing northeast, it reaches the next pair of rest areas before an interchange with SR-20 and then a ranch exit (exit 100) before leaving Iron County.
Central Utah
As I-15 enters Beaver County, the Interstate turns northwestward and winds its way through the mountain pass before heading north again to pass along the western edge of the city of Beaver. The southern and northern interchanges in Beaver include the I-15 Business Loop and SR-160—the city streets are South Main Street on the south and 1400 North on the north. Off the 1400 North interchange, there is an official rest stop, courtesy of Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the local Texaco Station. The freeway then heads slightly westward until it passes by the western side of the community of Manderfield and curves back to a north-northeast course. After several miles, there is an interchange with Manderfield Road before I-15 winds through another mountain pass and reaches the Sulphurdale interchange. This mountain pass, with a summit located at milepost 124.8, is the highest point along I-15 in Utah, at above sea level. After passing west of the ghost town of Sulphurdale, it reaches the interchange with the western end of I-70. This interchange is on the border of Beaver and Millard counties.
North of the I-15/I-70 interchange, I-70 heads east to Richfield and then toward Denver, Colorado, while I-15 continues north to pass by Cove Fort on the east and reach the Cove Fort (SR-161/Black Rock Road) interchange. Off the Black Rock Road interchange is an official rest stop, courtesy of UDOT and the local Chevron Station. I-15 meanders to the north-northeast before straightening out to the northeast–southwest of Kanosh. The freeway passes by the northwestern side of Meadow, having an interchange with North Main Street (SR-133). It then passes through the western side of Fillmore. SR-99 follows the length of the I-15 Business Loop through Fillmore, connecting at 850 South on the southwestern part of town and North Main Street / Cedar Mountain Road on the northern city limits. Off the North Main Street interchange, there is an official rest stop courtesy of UDOT and the local Chevron Station. Continuing north-northwest, it has an interchange with 5400 North / Maple Hollow Road (SR-64) before passing by the southeast edge of Holden. Several miles northeast of Holden, US 50 merges with I-15 as it continues northeastward and eventually heading through a low mountain pass just after another ranch exit. The US 50 overlap then ends as I-15 passes through the northwestern corner of Scipio. Off the Scipio interchange, is an official rest stop courtesy of UDOT and Flying J. (US 50 eastbound serves as a connector to I-70 for southbound I-15 motorists.)
Several miles north of Scipio, I-15 leaves Millard County and enters Juab County before turning northeastward again. After an interchange with the Yuba Lake Road is another interchange at Mills Junction / SR-78 just southeast of Chicken Creek Reservoir. The freeway then continues roughly north-northeast until it turns northeast to pass through the southern part of Nephi and an interchange with South Main Street (SR-28). The freeway then turns north to pass through the eastern side of Nephi, with an interchange with 100 North (SR-132). It then curves to the north-northwest before reaching the interchange with the northern end of SR-28 about a mile () north of town. The Interstate then turns north and passes by the eastern side of Mona and has an interchange with SR-52 (300 North). Continuing north, it passes by the eastern edge of Rocky Ridge before promptly leaving Juab County and entering Utah County.
Northern Utah
Salt Lake area
As the freeway enters Utah County, it also enters Utah Valley, the Wasatch Front, and the Provo–Orem metropolitan area. Turning northeast, it enters the town of Santaquin, where US 6 begins its overlap with I-15 at the interchange with East Main Street / US 6 / SR-198. Exiting Santaquin, the Interstate turns north to pass by the western edge of Spring Lake before entering Payson, turning northeast, and reaching the 800 South (SR-178) interchange. Continuing northeast, the freeway reaches the interchange with North Main Street (SR-115 / 3200 West) in north Payson. Maintaining its course to the northeast, it passes the eastern edge of Benjamin, with an interchange with SR-164 (8000 South), and enters Spanish Fork and gains one lane in each direction. On the north side of Spanish Fork is an interchange with North Main Street (US 6 and SR-156), after which I-15 turns north and gains one more lane in each direction. This interchange also marks the northern end of the overlap with US 6. (The section between Spanish Fork and Lehi was rebuilt in 2010–2012 as part of the I-15 CORE project.)
Continuing north with four lanes, it gains an additional express lane in both directions. It then passes through the far west side of Springville, with interchanges at 400 South (SR-77) and 1400 North (SR-75). Off the 1400 North interchange is an official rest stop courtesy of UDOT and Flying J. Curving northwest, it passes the eastern edge of the Provo Bay of Utah Lake before reaching Provo. Upon entering Provo, it intersects with South University Avenue (the southern terminus of US 189) and East Lakeview Parkway. The Interstate then continues northwest, bisecting the west side of Provo, with an interchange with Center Street (SR-114) before leaving Provo and entering Orem. After an interchange with West University Parkway (SR-265), immediately southwest of Utah Valley University, the freeway heads north along the western side of Orem. After interchanges with Center Street, and then 800 North (SR-52), the Interstate curves northwest and immediately reaches the interchange with SR-241 (1600 North / 600 South). This interchange on the border of Orem and Lindon.
Continuing northwest, I-15 passes through the western side of Lindon before passing by the southwest edge of Pleasant Grove, with an interchange at Pleasant Grove Boulevard. Next, the freeway enters American Fork with interchanges at 500 East (SR-180) on the south end of town and West Main Street / Pioneer Crossing (SR-145) on the west end of town. After American Fork, the freeway enters Lehi with its first interchange at East Main Street (SR-73). At this point, the Interstate narrows to three lanes (plus an express lane) in each direction. The next interchange in Lehi is with 2100 North / 1200 West (US 89 / SR-85). This also begins the first of two I-15 / US 89 overlaps. The final interchange in Lehi is with Timpanogos Highway / Clubhouse Drive (SR-92), after which the Interstate gains an additional two lanes, which is just east of Thanksgiving Point. Past Lehi, the Interstate exits the Provo metropolitan area and Utah County to enter the Salt Lake City metropolitan area as it passes through the Point of the Mountain.
As the route enters the Salt Lake Valley from only one of three other points connecting Salt Lake County and Utah County (the others being SR-68 and Traverse Ridge Road), it turns northeast to pass by the eastern edge of Bluffdale. It then enters Draper and heads north to pass through the western part of that city, with four interchanges along the way. The first is with Highland Drive / 14600 South (SR-140). The next interchange is with Bangerter Highway (SR-154). The third interchange in Draper is with 12300 South (US 89 / SR-71). This interchange is also where US 89 ends its first overlap with the Interstate and where I-15 curves slightly to the west. The final interchange in town is on the northern city limits at 11400 South (SR-175). This interchange is on the southern border of Sandy, and is the first of three within that city. The next interchange is with 10600 South (SR-151). The final interchange in Sandy is with 9000 South (SR-209).
Shortly after the last interchange in Sandy, it leaves that city and enters Midvale, with the only interchange in that city being with 7200 South (SR-48). After leaving Midvale, I-15 enters Murray and immediately reaches the junction with I-215, a beltway running through many of Salt Lake City's suburbs. Past this interchange, there are two more interchanges in Murray. The first is at 5400 South (SR-173) and the second is with 4500 South / Taylorsville Expressway (SR-266). After this interchange, the freeway leaves Murray and passes through the western end of Millcreek (an unincorporated suburb of Salt Lake City) before entering South Salt Lake. After an interchange with 3300 South (SR-171), the Interstate reaches the Spaghetti Bowl, which is an interchange with I-80 and SR-201 (21st South Freeway). The southern overlap of I-80 begins at this point as well as the collector roads. The collectors, but not the main I-15 travel lanes, have interchanges with 2100 South and 1300 South, as well as West Temple Street (SR-270) for northbound traffic only. (The West Temple Street offramps are signed as 900 South.) The Spaghetti Bowl is also where the freeway leaves South Salt Lake enters Salt Lake City.
After entering Salt Lake City, the Interstate jogs to the west for the next three interchanges. The first is with SR-269 and includes the offramps from northbound I-15/I-80 to eastbound 600 South and the onramps from westbound 500 South to southbound I-15/I-80. The next two interchanges are overlain and include I-80 (the northern end of the I-80 overlap) and 400 South (West University Boulevard). (The later interchange only permits HOV or toll use of the northbound offramp and the southbound onramp from and to the respective express lanes of I-15/I-80.) North of the ramps with I-80, I-15 loses one lane, leaving three lanes, plus the express lane, in both directions. The next interchange is with 600 North (SR-268), following which the freeway jogs to the west for the next two interchanges. After the 900 West interchange (which does not include a northbound offramp) is the Warm Springs Road (northbound) and 2300 North (southbound) interchange. The freeway then returns to is northern course, but before leaving Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County, it has northbound on- and offramps for the Beck Street (US 89) interchange.
Ogden area
After entering Davis County, the city of North Salt Lake, and the Ogden–Clearfield metropolitan area, I-15 has the southbound on- and offramps for the Beck Street (US 89) interchange. Next is the junction between I-15 and I-215 (Belt Route), which only provides a southbound offramp from I-15 to I-215 and a northbound onramp from I-215 to I-15. Just after this is another partial interchange that only includes a southbound offramp to West Center Street. The freeway then heads northwest to the 2600 South (SR-93) interchange, which is centered on the border of North Salt Lake and Woods Cross. Continuing north once again, the Interstate reaches its next interchange, which is with 500 South (SR-68). Parts of this interchange are spread over three cities, with Woods Cross on the south, a panhandle of Bountiful in the middle, and West Bountiful on the north. Continuing north, it comes to another partial interchange with 400 North, which only includes a northbound offramp and a southbound onramp. After a slight jog to the east comes the junction with US 89 (500 West). This junction straddles the north–south border between West Bountiful and Bountiful. It is also a partial interchange in that it has only a southbound offramp and a northbound onramp. It also is the beginning of the second 1-15 / US 89 overlap.
Continuing north, it leaves West Bountiful and enters Centerville before reaching the Parish Lane (400 North / SR-105) interchange. About a mile () north, I-15 begins a stretch where the Legacy Parkway (SR-67) parallels the Interstate on the west, with little more than train tracks in between. About another mile () north, the freeway leaves Centerville and enters Farmington. Next comes the partial interchange with 200 West (SR-227), which only includes a northbound offramp and a southbound onramp. Heading north-northeast, it reaches the I-15 / Legacy Highway / US 89 / Park Lane (SR-225) interchange. This sprawling interchange provides a northbound offramp and southbound onramp for US 89, a southbound offramp and a northbound onramp for Legacy Parkway, as well connection with Park Lane. The interchange is just west of the Lagoon amusement park and is the end of the second I-15 / US 89 overlap. From this interchange, it heads northwest before leaving Farmington and entering Kaysville.
Just inside Kaysville are two former rest areas. While the ramps and parking areas are still intact, there are no signage or facilities remaining. Further on is the Kaysville (200 North / SR-273) interchange. Continuing northwest, I-15 leaves Kaysville and enters Layton, along with its three interchanges. The first interchange is with Layton Parkway and just north of it, the express lanes end, leaving just three lanes in each direction. The next two interchanges are with Hill Field Road (SR-232) and then Antelope Drive (2000 North / SR-108). After leaving Layton, the Interstate enters Clearfield and reaches the 700 South (SR-193) interchange. From this interchange, north I-15 runs along the western edge of Hill Air Force Base. The next interchange is with 650 North, which also provides direct access to the west part of the airforce base. Just after this interchange, the freeway leaves Clearfield, turns north, and enters Sunset, but has no further interchanges before leaving that city and Davis County.
Just prior to the next interchange, I-15 enters Weber County and the city of Roy. After curving slightly to the east, the freeway reaches the 5600 South (SR-97) interchange, which provides access to the north end of the airforce base, including the Hill Aerospace Museum that is located immediately north of the base. The next interchange is with Riverdale Road (SR-26). As a partial interchange, there is only a northbound offramp to eastbound SR-26 and a southbound onramp from westbound SR-26. (Eastbound SR-26 provides the only access to eastbound I-84.) At this interchange, the Interstate also transitions from Roy to Riverdale. Heading northwest, I-15 then merges with I-84, but there is no northbound access to I-84 nor westbound access from I-84 to I-15. This also begins the I-15/I-84 overlap. Immediately northwest of this interchange is the Ogden-Hinckley Airport; however, since the airport is slightly above hill, it is not visible from the freeway. Two additional lanes are added north of this junction for a total of four in each direction. Just after leaving Riverdale, the Interstate enters Ogden and reaches the 31st Street (3100 South / SR-79) interchange. Curving back to the northwest, the freeway comes to the 24th South (SR-53) interchange. Although the signage specifies "24th Street", this partial interchange (which only provides a northbound offramp and a southbound onramp) is actually with Pennsylvania Avenue (also SR-53), which promptly connects with 24th Street (2400 South) northeast of the interchange.
As it leaves Ogden and enters West Haven, I-15 curves to the north-northwest before coming to the 21st Street (2100 South / SR-104) interchange. The freeway then leaves West Haven and enters Marriott-Slaterville and immediately crosses the Weber River. The next interchange is with 12th Street (1200 South / SR-39), at which point the freeway loses one lane in each direction. Continuing on with three lanes in each direction, the Interstate reaches the 400 North interchange. Similar to the 24th Street interchange, although signage indicates "400 North", this interchanges actually connects with Pioneer Road, which promptly connects with 400 North just east of the interchange. North of this interchange, I-15 heads directly north to leave Marriott-Slaterville and enter Farr West. Continuing north, it reaches the 2700 North (SR-134) before it curves to the north-northwest and leaves Farr West and Weber County. At the 2700 North interchange, the freeway narrows to two lanes in each direction and remains so for the remainder of its route in Utah.
Box Elder County
Upon entering the final county (Box Elder) along its route in Utah, I-15 also enters the area of South Willard and then reaches the Willard (2000 West / SR-126) interchange. (SR-126 connects with US 89 just west of the interchange.) Before leaving the South Willard area and entering the city of Willard, I-15 begins about a stretch that runs along the western shore of the Willard Bay of the Great Salt Lake. Its next interchange is with 750 North / SR-315. Straddling the northern border between Willard and Perry are ports of entry for both directions of traffic. Continuing north through Perry, it passes a rest area for northbound traffic before it reaches the next interchange, which is with 1100 South (US 91). This interchange straddles the northern border of Perry and the southern border of Brigham City. (US 91 continues northeast to Logan and points northward.) Curving slightly to the west, the Interstate reaches the Forest Street interchange, followed by the 900 North (SR-13) interchange. Immediately north of 900 North, the freeway passes immediately to the west of the Brigham City Airport. West of the airport, there is also a rest area for southbound traffic. At the north end of the airport, the freeway leaves Brigham City and, before continuing on a slightly more westerly, northern course.
After about a mile () in unincorporated Box Elder County, I-15 enters Honeyville and then reaches the Honeyville / Bear River (6900 North / SR-240) interchange. Continuing northwest, the Interstate leaves Honeyville and immediately crosses the Bear River. It then enters the town of Elwood and reaches the Tremonton/Garland (5200 West / SR-13) interchange. The freeway then leaves Elwood and enters Tremonton shortly after that. Just inside Tremonton is the I-15/I-84/SR-30 junction. From this junction, I-84 and SR-30 head northwest to Snowville and on to Burley and Boise, Idaho, while I-15 continues north through Tremonton. This interchange is also the northern end of the I-15/I-84 overlap and the southern end of the I-15/SR-30 overlap. Straddling the northern city limits of Tremonton is another interchange signed as "Tremonton/Garland". This second interchange of the same name is with 1000 North. Curving slightly to the east, it passes by the western edge of Garland before coming to the Riverside (15200 North / SR-30) interchange, which is just southwest of that city and is the northern end of the I-15/SR-30 overlap. Continuing a slightly winding course north, the Interstate reaches the Plymouth (20800 North / SR-13) interchange, which is just northwest of that town. Heading north and then to the northeast, the freeway reaches the Portage (25800 North / Center Street), which is the last interchange in the state and is just east of that town. About a mile () north of the last interchange is the Utah–Idaho border, where I-15 leaves the Ogden–Clearfield metropolitan area. From there, I-15 continues north to Malad City and on to Pocatello.
History
The southwest–north alignment followed by I-15 was a major transportation corridor in the early 20th century, followed by auto trails such as the Arrowhead Trail (south from Salt Lake City), Evergreen National Highway (entire length), and Banff–Grand Canyon Road (north from Nephi). In 1926, when the numbered system of U.S. highways was created, this route was signed US 91.
The route of I-15 from St. George to Brigham City was built along the corridor of what was US 91 from 1926 to 1974. In 1974, I-15 was reasonably intact and US 91 was deleted, with the unfinished segments signed as Temporary I-15. The route north of Brigham City was built along the corridor of an old routing of US 191. This highway was also deleted once I-15 was reasonably intact. However, a different route in Utah was redesignated US 191 in 1982. Also, by the time it completed the section, UDOT recalibrated the mileposts and renumbered the exits, reducing the overall distance by approximately .
In 1975, UDOT would construct a wildlife crossing located near the town of Beaver. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources considers this to be the first wildlife overpass built in the United States.
Before 1977 the route of I-15 (and US 91 before) was also designated SR-1 by the state of Utah, but no portion of the route was signed with this number.
The last section of I-15 within the state of Utah (as well as the entire length of the route) was finally completed in November 1990, only to have major reconstruction projects commence (starting in Salt Lake County) about 7 years later. The entire length of I-15 within Utah was designated by the Utah Legislature in 1998 as the Veterans Memorial Highway.
In 2004, UDOT finally renumbered the mile markers along I-15 north of Nephi. (When I-15 was originally built, there were several large gaps along the route, including south of Nephi. In addition, the original plans for I-15 were to run along the west side of Nephi, instead of the final alignment along the city's east side. Mileage along the unconstructed sections was estimated. After the entire length of the freeway was completed, there was a discrepancy of an extra along all sections north of Nephi. UDOT had been aware of the problem for many years but delayed corrective action for the issue.) The following year, in 2005, UDOT renumbered the exits to correspond to the corrected mile markers. The result was exit numbers north of Nephi were reduced by three.
In January 2009, the speed limit on two sections of I-15 together totaling was raised to as a "test", making Utah the second state to currently have speed limits greater than . In September 2013, with a few brief exceptions, the speed limit north of Leeds (other than the Wasatch Front, between Santaquin and Brigham City) was raised to .
In 2015, the UDOT raised the speed limit on the Wasatch Front urban stretch through Salt Lake City to . Also, in 2016, the speed limit through the St. George metro area was raised to .
As of October 2016, the longest continuous high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) facility in the U.S. is on I-15 in Utah, extending approximately from Spanish Fork to Layton with a single HOV lane each direction for a total of of HOV lanes. As of October 2022, an additional 10 miles in each direction was added extending the lanes from Spanish Fork to Riverdale for a total of 164 miles of HOV lanes.
Reconstruction projects
I-15 corridor reconstruction project
Taking place between April 1997 and July 2001, the I-15 reconstruction project was the Utah Department of Transportation's first major Interstate reconstruction project. The project involved the renovation of of I-15 from 600 North in Salt Lake City to 10600 South (SR-151) in Sandy. Improvements included repaving concrete, adding another general-purpose lane and a high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane, along with an auxiliary lane between major interchanges in each direction through the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. Approximately 130 bridges were either constructed or reconstructed, including the conversion of seven diamond interchanges into single point urban interchanges, and the reconstruction of three major junctions with other Interstate and state routes, including I-80, SR-201, and I-215. In addition, a traffic management system was added to the entire length of the Interstate in the Salt Lake County region. This reconstruction cost $1.63 billion, with $448 million being federally funded and $1,184 million being funded by Utah.
EXPRESSLink project
The I-15 EXPRESSLink project took place between December 2008 and fall 2010. It involved the renovation of I-15 between 500 North in Salt Lake City and the northern terminus of I-215 in North Salt Lake. Renovations included new concrete and added a high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane in both directions. In order to accommodate the new width of the freeway, bridges at Beck Street, US 89, and 1100 North were replaced. The bridges at 800 North and 1100 North were replaced by one bridge at 1100 North.
11400 South interchange addition
A new single point interchange was constructed between 2008 and November 2010 at 11400 South in Draper. The project also widened I-15 from 10600 South to just past 11400 South from three to four general purpose lanes, extended the high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane that previously ended at 10600 South, and added an auxiliary lane between the two interchanges.
I-15 CORE project
The I-15 Corridor Expansion (CORE) project was a design–build project that reconstructed of I-15 in Utah County, Utah between Lehi Main Street to 8000 South Spanish Fork. The $1.725 billion project was the fastest billion-dollar public highway project ever completed in the United States. The project was completed on December 15, 2012—35 months from the original notice to proceed—and finished $260 million under budget (coming in at $1.465 billion total). I-15 CORE widened the freeway by two lanes in each direction and replaced the original asphalt with new 40-year concrete pavement; rebuilt 63 bridges; reconstructed 10 freeway interchanges; and extended the high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes from Orem to Spanish Fork. (Prior to I-15 CORE, HOV lanes had already been installed from Lehi to Orem.)
South Davis improvements
The South Davis Improvements project, which took place between April 2014 and August 2015, constructed new high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes between the I-215 interchange in North Salt Lake and the US 89 interchange in Farmington; replaced I-15 bridges at 2600 South, 1500 South, 500 South (SR-68), and 400 North (SR-106); reconfigured the interchange at 2600 South into a partial and 500 South into a full diverging diamond interchange; and added active transportation improvements, with better pedestrian and bicycle facilities at 500 South, 400 North, and Parrish Lane. The entire project costed $126 million.
The Point Project
The two-year Point Project widened I-15 from four to six lanes in each direction between 12300 South in Draper and SR-92 in Lehi, a distance of approximately . The project also replaced the existing pavement with new 40-year concrete, reconstructed the 14600 South (SR-140) interchange as a single-point urban interchange to improve traffic flow, and installed new traffic management technology such as cameras, ramp meters, electronic message signs, and fiber optics. The project cost $215 million. With the completion of The Point project, nearly all of I-15 along the Wasatch Front has been reconstructed within the past two decades. One last section in Lehi, from SR-92 to Main Street (SR-73) remained and was widened spring 2018.
I-15 Technology Corridor
The Utah Department of Transportation reconstructed the I-15 Technology Corridor between Lehi Main Street and SR-92 (Timpanogos Highway) starting in 2018. The Tech Corridor was the last section of I-15 in Utah County to be reconstructed in recent years. The actual construction elements included was based on the results of the ongoing engineering, traffic, and cost analysis. Those elements include I-15 reconstructed and widened with two new lanes in each direction from Lehi Main Street to SR-92, a one-way frontage road system from 2100 North to SR-92, interchange reconstruction at SR-92 and 2100 North, 13 bridge replacements, a new Triumph Boulevard bridge over I-15, and bike and pedestrian improvements. The final cost for the project was $415 million.
Future elements not being constructed at this time are expected to include a new North Lehi interchange, a one-way frontage road system extended from SR-92 to the new North Lehi interchange, and freeway-to-freeway connector ramps at 2100 North to connect I-15 to the future Mountain View Corridor freeway.
I-15 Davis-Weber Express Lanes
The Utah Department of Transportation extended the I-15 HOV/Toll Express Lanes from the Layton Parkway interchange to the Riverdale Road interchange. Construction began in May 2019 and was completed in October 2022. An HOV/Toll lane was added to both the northbound and southbound directions along the corridor to accommodate the growing population and traffic in northern Davis County and southern Weber County. The project included additional improvements; the I-15 bridges at Church Street and 200 South were replaced and widened, an auxiliary lane was added from Layton Parkway to Hill Field Road, bridges at Gentile Street, 700 South, Union Pacific Railroad bridge, and 5600 South were widened and the bridge decks were replaced, the bridge at 650 North was widened, and new ramp metering was installed at the on ramps of Antelope Drive, 700 South, 650 North, and Riverdale Road. Express Lane tolling began along this corridor on October 31, 2022.
The I-15 Southbound Project
The I-15 Southbound Project added a general purpose lane from Utah SR-201 in Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake, affectionately known as "The Spaghetti Bowl", to 12300 South in Draper. In addition, the I-15/I-215 interchange in Midvale was modified, where traffic from westbound I-215 now enters directly onto I-15 prior to the 7200 South exit, instead of merging with I-215 eastbound traffic on the collector/distributor ramp then entering onto I-15 after 7200 South. The 7200 South on and off ramps were reconstructed to accommodate this modification. 7200 South was expanded to three lanes from I-15 to Bingham Blvd in both directions and the Union Pacific Rail Road Bridge (USRR) over 7200 South was reconstructed.
The I-15 portion of this project started in the spring of 2018. A new general purpose lane from 7800 South to 12300 South was completed in December 2018 and the new general purpose lane from SR-201 to 7200 South was completed in 2020.
Future/Planned Projects
1800 North New Interchange in Clinton and Sunset
The Utah Department of Transportation is in the preliminary stages of the design of a new interchange along I-15 at 1800 North. Additional funding was recently added to the project that will widen 1800 North from I-15 to 2000 West, providing improved mobility to residents of Sunset and Davis County at large. 1800 North will be reconstructed in concrete pavement and widened to include two lanes in each direction and a center turn lane, 12-foot shoulders, and a new curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Construction was originally scheduled to begin in 2023 however, with the additional funding nearly doubling the size and effort necessary to design the improvements, construction will begin in 2025.
Shepard Lane New Interchange
The Utah Department of Transportation completed the Shepard Lane environmental assessment in July 2020. The study determined that a new interchange along with widening and providing a direct connection to 1500 West would improve safety and reduce congestion on mainline I-15 and US-89 by decreasing demand on Park Lane.
The project is currently in design with plans for construction in 2024.
Northbound I-15 lane addition
The Utah Department of Transportation is in the planning stages of adding a general purpose lane to I-15 from the I-215 interchange in Murray to 600 South in Salt Lake City. The project plans also include a single lane collector ramp from the 1300 South northbound on ramp to the I-80 westbound on ramp and modifying the ramp from I-15 northbound to I-80 eastbound to a flyover ramp where traffic will merge onto I-80 eastbound from the left (median area). This proposal is to eliminate the short merge area on I-80 eastbound at the State Street exit.
Construction of this project may begin as early as 2025.
I-15 Reconstruction from Farmington to Salt Lake City
In March 2022, the Utah Department of Transportation initiated an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Interstate 15 (I-15) Farmington to Salt Lake City Project. A 2019-2050 Regional Transportation Plan includes two projects that identify improvements to I-15 in Davis and Salt Lake Counties:
• I-15 widening (from 5 lanes to 6 lanes in each direction) from Farmington to Salt Lake County line
• I-15 widening (from 4 and 5 lanes to 6 lanes in each direction) in Davis County to 600 North
The purpose of this EIS project is to conduct a thorough analysis of I-15 and identify a preferred solution.
Construction of this project may begin as early as 2028.
Express Lanes (HOV/Tolling lanes)
HOV Lanes introduced in Utah
Beginning with the I-15 corridor reconstruction project completed in 2001, HOV lanes were introduced in Utah for the first time. The HOV lanes were available in both northbound and southbound directions spanning between 600 North in Salt Lake City and 10600 South in Sandy. Initially the HOV lanes were non-tolling and there were no designated entrance/exit segments along I-15. This lane was designated by a single solid 8-inch white line. High occupancy vehicles could cross this line at any time to enter/exit the HOV lane. Later on tolling was introduced and designated entrance/exit areas were added. Due to this change, 8-inch double solid white lines were added to the roadway and signs were added to the median stating "Do Not Cross Double White Line". A fine is imposed for illegally crossing the double white lines, except when emergency vehicles are present where a motorist may cross the double white lines so that the emergency vehicle may pass safely. Express Lane entrance/exit segments are now designated by a single dotted 8-inch white line. These segments are typically placed over interchanges, wherever possible, beginning at the exit ramp and ending at the entrance ramp of any interchange. This design allows motorists to enter and exit the Express Lanes when other vehicles are not also merging on and off the freeway.
Additions to the Express Lanes
After 2001, the Express Lanes were extended to the south in various phases. Beginning with an extension from 10600 South in Sandy to Bangerter Hwy, then from Bangerter Hwy to Lehi Main St., then from Lehi to Provo and eventually from Provo to Spanish Fork. Express Lanes were extended to the north in various phases as well. Beginning with an extension from 600 North in Salt Lake City to the Davis County Line in North Salt Lake. A second phase was added from the US 89 interchange in Farmington to Layton, then a third phase filled the gap between the Davis County Line in North Salt Lake and Farmington, and finally the most recent segment was added from Layton Parkway to Riverdale Road.
Longest continuous Carpool Lane segment in the United States
With the completion of the South Davis Improvements in 2015, the Express Lanes or "Carpool lanes" in Northern Utah were, and continue to be, the longest continuous segment of carpool lanes in the United States. Between 2015 and 2022 the lanes spanned 72 miles in both directions between Spanish Fork and Layton. The I-15 Davis-Weber Express Lanes project further extended the lanes, now spanning 82 miles in both directions between Spanish Fork and Riverdale beginning in 2022.
Express Lane constraints and exceptions
Prior to completion of the South Davis Improvement project, there were no Express Lanes available between North Salt Lake and Farmington. This gap was the result of insufficient funding for bridge reconstruction in Davis County until the South Davis Improvements project was funded. Another constraint is the southbound I-15 exit at 500 West/Hwy 89 in West Bountiful is a left lane exit, which would require general purpose traffic to enter the Express Lane in order to exit onto 500 West/Hwy 89. The solution to this was to designate the HOV lane between Parrish Lane in Centerville and the 500 West/Hwy 89 left exit as an HOV entrance/exit area with no left lane restrictions. Large white overhead signs on I-15 approaching the Parrish Lane interchange state the left lane restrictions end for the 500 West Left Exit. Immediately after this left lane exit the HOV and left lane restrictions resume.
Exit list
In 2005, all exits north of Nephi were renumbered to eliminate a milepost equation. The original surveyed route for I-15 in the 1960s passed Nephi to the west; however, by the time the route was actually constructed in the 1980s, the plans were changed to pass Nephi to the east, resulting in a discrepancy in the exit numbers north of Nephi from actual mileage.

The National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) was a women's ice hockey league established in Canada in service from 1999 to 2007. In its final season the league was run by the Ontario Women's Hockey Association.
History
The NWHL superseded the old Central Ontario Women's Hockey League in 1998–99. After the old COWHL dropped down to three teams in 1997–98, the new league expanded to Brampton, Ottawa and the Montreal area (Montreal, Bonaventure and Laval) in 1998–99. The league was officially renamed the National Women's Hockey League on February 16, 1999 with Susan Fennell as the league's first president/Commissioner. In the inaugural season, the Beatrice Aeros won the West Division while the Bonaventure Wingstar won the East Division.
Under Commissioner Fennell, the NWHL transformed to independent owners with the League negotiating to have cross Canada live television broadcast for the finals. Michael Charbon (MAC Productions) worked with the Commissioner to secure broadcast times with WTN. Games were played in Brampton's Powerade Centre (now called "The CAA Centre"), coinciding with the Brampton Canadettes worlds largest hockey tournament, which brought together teams from all ages and from across North America to compete. A special highlight was attending the Championship Cup games of the NWHL.
Michael Charbon designed the NWHL Logo in the same colors of the NHL logo. Commissioner Fennell sought the approval from Gary Bettman, the NHL Commissioner, and it was granted.
Commissioner Fennell was instrumental in having the Championship Cup purchased and engraved annually with the Champion Team players names, coaches, and even volunteers.
During the NHL strike there was talk that the women should be able to play for the Stanley Cup. Instead, Commissioner Fennell initiated talks with Governor General Adrianne Clarkson and requested consideration to rename the Championship Cup the "Clarkson Cup" as the late Governor General Lord Stanley had done for the NHL years before.
The NWHL league lasted nine years before it disbanded one year after Commissioner Fennell retired 2006 after balancing Mayoral duties and growing a professional sports league. Mayor Fennell signed over all legal instruments for the NWHL to the Ontario Women's Hockey Association (OWHA) to lead the next steps. However, one season later, following the 2006–07 season, all existing owners quit and it appeared there would be no league.
In 2007–08, players from the old NWHL joined new teams in similar markets in the newly formed Canadian Women's Hockey League.
Structure
From the 1998–99 to the 2001–02 seasons, the NWHL consisted of two divisions: the Eastern Division with Quebec-based teams, and the Western Division with Ontario-based teams.
For the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons, the league had three divisions: the Eastern Division with Quebec-based teams, a renamed Central Division with Ontario-based teams, and a new Western Division with teams in Alberta (both seasons) and British Columbia (2002–03 only). The high travel costs for the two Alberta teams caused them to leave the NWHL to form the Western Women's Hockey League, reducing the NWHL to the Eastern and Central Divisions for the 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons.
The WWHL had five teams, in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Minnesota, for its own 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons. The WWHL agreed to merge with the NWHL for the 2006–07 NWHL season. The NWHL reverted to three divisions: Eastern Division with Quebec-based teams, the Central Division with Ontario-based teams, and a renewed Western Division with teams Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchwean and Minnesota. The Eastern and Central Division teams scheduled a 35-game unbalanced but interlocking schedule, while the Western Division would only play within itself for the regular season - saving travel costs for all three divisions. The merger broke down midseason, with the WWHL teams treating it as the 2006–07 WWHL season and the remaining NWHL teams handling their playoffs with all four teams from the Central Division and the top two teams from the Eastern Division qualifying for the postseason. In the NWHL playoffs, teams played a best-of-three series to determine the Eastern and Central Division champions, who then met for the NWHL championship. By the end of the 2006–07 NWHL season, the league had fallen into disarray, season records are incomplete, and the league folded shortly after the Central Division's Brampton Thunder defeated the Eastern Division's Montreal Axion to win the last ever NWHL Championship.

Championship
During its inaugural 1998–99 season, a playoff tournament was held over three consecutive days, resulting in the presentation of a gold, silver and bronze medal.
For the next six seasons, the playoff champion was awarded the NWHL Champions Cup.
For its final two seasons, the championship winner was awarded the Clarkson Cup. Though the NWHL and the Western Women's Hockey League (WWHL) were considered merged for the 2006–07 season, the WWHL teams did not compete for the Clarkson Cup, instead playing for the WWHL Champions Cup.
After the 2007 disbanding of the NWHL, the Clarkson Cup was presented to the winner of a playoff between WWHL and Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) teams, then solely to the CWHL champion after the WWHL merged with that league.

The ashy mining bee (Andrena cineraria), also known as the Danubian miner or grey mining bee, is a species of sand bee found in Europe. Its distinctive colouring makes it one of the most easily recognised of the genus. The females are black, with two broad grey hair bands across the thorax. The male is also black although the thorax is entirely covered with grey hairs. The male has a tuft of white hairs on the lower face and white hairs on all femora while the female has white hairs only on the front femora. The female has twelve segments to their antennae and the male has thirteen.
The ashy mining bee is common and widespread throughout Europe, ranging from Ireland across central Europe and into Scandinavia. They are common throughout the United Kingdom although less frequent in northern Scotland. Generally docile, they are considered safe around children and pets. The ashy mining bee flies from April until early June, most noticeably during the flowering periods of fruit trees, of which they are an important pollinator. They are also commonly seen hovering just above the ground after mating in spring. Following mating, the male dies and the female starts to build a nest. Each female has her own nest and the ashy mining bee is therefore classified amongst solitary bees. They prefer to nest in tended lawns, flowerbeds, parkland, calcareous grassland, orchards and on the borders of agricultural land.
The nest is a simple burrow with several brood cells branching off it. The entrances to the burrows are identifiable by the conical mounds of excavated spoil on the surface. The female fills the brood cells with a mixture of nectar and pollen, and lays one egg in each cell. The larva hatches within a few days, grows quickly and pupates within a few weeks. The adults emerge the following spring after hibernation. The male emerges before the female. The nests are frequently invaded by cleptoparasitic "cuckoo bees".

Tetracera sarmentosa is a vine/climber and shrub in the Dilleniaceae family. It is native to parts of Tropical and Temperate Asia, from Peninsular Malaysia to China and Sri Lanka.
Description
A woody vine/climber, evergreen, growing up to 20m in China,
it can grow as a shrub in Bangladesh.
Scabrous branchlet that are hairy when young but become glabrous later. Leaves leathery, very scabrous, some 4-12 x 2-5 cm in size, at maturity the abaxial surface is glabrous, or only the veins pubescent. The carpels and sepals are glabrous. The 3 petals are white, some 4-5mm long. The orange fruit (follicle) are around 1 cm, thin and leathery pericarp is slightly bright when dry, and has persistent style. One black seed, with yellow aril, fringed, enclosing the base. Flowers from April to May in China, while in Tripura, India, it flowers from April to June and fruits from July and August.
Distribution
The area of Tetracera sarmentosa's indigenous growth is in Asia, both in tropical and temperate areas. Countries and regions where it occurs are: Peninsular Malaysia; Thailand; Vietnam; China (Southeast and South-central including Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hainan); Laos; Myanmar; and Sri Lanka. It is reported from Bangladesh (regions of Chittagong, Chittagong Hill Tracts, Cox’s Bazar, and Satchari National Park, Habiganj district), from India (Gondacherra & Chawmanu, Dhalai District; Chamtilla, North Tripura District, Tripura), and Biswanath district, Assam), and in Indonesia (Bengkulu, Sumatera).
Habitat
It is one of the dominant taxa in the secondary tropical evergreen seasonal angiosperm lowland swamp forests of Central Vietnam (Hải Lăng District, Quảng Trị Province, and in the vicinity of Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa Province). At those areas it grows on sandy soil 10–50m elevation near the sea shore. In China the species occurs in sparse forests, thickets and on barren hills. In the Satchari National Park of Bangladesh it occurs on forest edges.
Vernacular names
In China, the plant is known as 錫葉藤/锡叶藤 (Mandarin xi ye teng, Cantonese sehk yihp tàhng) or 許願藤 (Cantonese héui yuhn tàhng).
The plant is known as ulu ludi by Tanchangya people of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh).
Amongst Karbi and Munda peoples of Assam, Tetracera sarmentosa is known as .
A name used in English is sandpaper vine
Uses
The plant is one of the foods fed to captive elephants in Sri Lanka.
It is reported that Karbi and Munda peoples of Assam use cut stems to obtain water in dense forests where there is no other source.
The root extract of Tetracera sarmentosa is used for treatment of rheumatism by the Tanchangya people, Bangladesh. The species has a number of leaf extracts that have potential medical effects, though there is no evidence that the plant is effective against any disease.
History
The species was first described in 1794 by the Danish-Norwegian botanist, herbalist and zoologist Martin Vahl (1749-1804), in his Symbolae Botanicae.

Baylor School, commonly called Baylor, is a private, coeducational college-preparatory school in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Founded in 1893, the school's current campus comprises 690 acres and enrolls students in grades 6-12, including boarding students in grades 9-12. These students are served by Baylor's 148-member faculty, over two-thirds of whom hold advanced degrees, including nearly 40 adults who live on campus and serve as dorm parents. Baylor has had a student win the Siemens Award for Advanced Placement in math and science and a teacher received the National Siemens Award for Exemplary Teaching.
As of 2005, Baylor had the best high school sports program in Tennessee and was in the top 25 nationwide according to Sports Illustrated. In the past 21 years, Baylor has won 157 state championships, including a national record of 16 consecutive victories in women's golf from 1995-2012. The school has also repeatedly been named national champion in both men's and women's swimming, by Swimming World magazine. For the 2011-12 school year, Baylor enrolled 1070 young men and women, 20% of whom lived on campus, as representatives of 25 states and 30 countries.
History
Origins
Baylor School was founded in 1893 by John Roy Baylor, a graduate of the University of Virginia. He had been hired by leading men of Chattanooga to establish a college-preparatory school for the "young men of the city", and on September 12, Baylor's University School of Chattanooga opened its doors for its first class, a group of 31 boys between ages of 10 and 17, each charged a tuition of $100.
These classes were originally held in an old house in downtown Chattanooga, located at 101 McCallie Avenue; the school later moved to a location on Palmetto Street, also in the city. The first classes of the school were all-male; in 1900, the school began enrolling young women, but by 1912 had reverted to having an all-male class. The school did not again admit women until 1985, over 70 years later. In 1915, with the help of philanthropist John Thomas Lupton, Baylor moved to its current location overlooking the Tennessee River. That campus has since expanded to , but the quadrangle in the center of campus has never moved, marking the location of the heart of Baylor School.
Military school
In 1914, World War I broke out in Europe; by the fall of 1917, hundreds of thousands of American soldiers were fighting in the war. In response to the growing need of the United States for honorable, well-educated soldiers, Baylor became a military school, fully accredited by the U.S. War Department. Baylor remained a military school until 1971—the midst of the Vietnam War, when public support for the war was at an all-time low.
New headmasters
In 1925, the school began calling itself "Baylor School" in honor of its founder, who died in the following year. The school then named Dr. Alexander Guerry as its second headmaster. He remained in that position from 1926 to 1929, before leaving the school to become chancellor of the University of Chattanooga and then later chancellor of The University of the South. His successor was Herbert B. Barks Sr., who remained as headmaster for the next 35 years. His successor was headmaster Scott Wilson, a graduate of the class of 1975. In 2021 Wilson retired. He is succeeded by Chris Angel, Baylor class of 1989.
Rivalries
The school has maintained a strong rivalry with the crosstown boys-only McCallie School ever since McCallie's founding in 1905. Baylor historically had close ties with Chattanooga's Girls Preparatory School, until Baylor admitted girls in 1985. The two schools are now rivals in girls' athletics.
Finances
Endowment
Baylor's endowment (or net fund balance) was $132 million according to a tax return filed on November 14, 2011.
This endowment is maintained by about 20 trustees and is one of the 30 highest endowments in the United States.
On a per-student basis, $132 million divided by 1070 students yields an average value of over $120,000 per student, higher even than several universities such as Babson College, The College of William & Mary, and Rochester Institute of Technology.
Tuition
Baylor's tuition for 2022-2023 was $28,310 for day students, $57,340 for domestic boarding students and $61,875 for international boarding students. For boarders, Baylor offers need-based financial aid in addition to merit scholarships via its Distinguished Scholars Program. Baylor offers other scholarships to deserving boarding students for outstanding academic performance and character via donations through specific funds, one of which includes VMWare Fellowship Fund. For day students, Baylor also offers need-based financial aid, and awards the Jo Conn Guild Scholarship for students of exceptional merit. For Baylor's 2015-16 school year, the average boarding student received an aid package worth $27,118; the average day student received an aid package worth $11,096.
Academics
Baylor offers 22 advanced placement courses. In 1954, it was one of only 38 secondary schools, and the only one in the South, invited to participate in the then-new AP program.
Baylor's core curriculum consists of mathematics, English, science, history, and language classes. Baylor offers language classes in: Spanish, French, Latin, German, and Chinese.
About 76% of Baylor's most recent senior class took at least one AP class, while 48% of the most recent junior class took at least one AP class and 8% of the most recent sophomore class took an AP class.
The graduating class of 2011 sent four graduates to Ivy League schools. Two students attended Stanford University. Colleges chosen most often the class of 2011 were the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (13), the University of Alabama (9), Sewanee: The University of the South (7), Ole Miss (6), the University of Florida (5), the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (5), Georgia Southern University (5), and Emory University (4).
Athletics
In 2005, Baylor was named the leading high school sports program in Tennessee for six consecutive years, and in the top 25 nationwide by Sports Illustrated. For the 2006-07 school year, Sports Illustrated again named Baylor as the top athletic program in the state of Tennessee. Baylor's 1973 football team was tabbed mythical national champions by the National Sports News Service, and both men's and women's swim teams have been named national champions by Swimming World magazine. Brian Gottfried, who played tennis for Baylor and was later inducted into its Hall of Fame, rose after graduating to become the number-three ranked singles player in the world. Baylor's teams are nicknamed the Red Raiders and Lady Raiders. Baylor competes in the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association and its varsity sports are:
Programs
Baylor students can participate in Baylor's Walkabout program, an outdoors program that takes students kayaking, rock climbing, bouldering, trekking, hiking, and caving. Walkabout also goes on an annual trip to Costa Rica for advanced kayakers and a biennial trip to India to trek.
Baylor's community service program, which is known as "R.E.S.P.E.C.T." (Regard Every Soul Purely Embracing Compassionate Thoughts), takes 10 students (juniors and seniors) to Kingston, Jamaica, every Spring Break after they have spent the school year raising money to send Jamaican children to school. On this trip, they visit a state-run home for the aged, a state-run orphanage, and the community whose children are sent to school with the money these high school students have raised. Students from the community service program also take trips to Asheville, North Carolina, twice a year to volunteer in a local homeless shelter. Baylor also does community service within the community of Chattanooga; there is an after school program in which students go to schools or centers within Chattanooga to help tutor children from surrounding schools and help them in their school work. This program is offered throughout the entire school year.
Baylor has more than 60 other extracurricular organizations, including the Round Table Literary Discussion Society, which began in 1942, the Peer Tutor Program, the Student Congress and Model United Nations Team, and the annual Periaktoi art magazine.
Tenth- and eleventh-grade students can participate in a student exchange program with schools around the world, such as the Southport School and St Hilda's School in Southport, Queensland, Australia, along with Bishops College in Cape Town, South Africa.
Seniors end their year with a senior camping trip, a tradition begun in 1975.
Campus
Baylor's campus is located on the banks of the Tennessee River with red-brick buildings scattered around the campus, some almost 100 years old. Some of the buildings and facilities include:
Academic facilities
Katherine and Harrison Weeks Science Building, Baylor's science building, houses biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, forensic science, human physiology, environmental science, genetics, and Lower School science classes. Baylor's main computer lab, "the Bullpen," is located on the bottom floor of Weeks. This computer lab is open to the public and also hosts Baylor's computer science and computer applications classes in private computer classrooms. The building opened in 1999, named for benefactor Katherine Weeks and her husband, Harrison, a student from 1925-1928.
Barks Hall is home to Baylor's Lower School. The top two floors of Barks belong to Hedges Library, Baylor's school library. The 1961 building is named for former headmaster Herbert B. Barks.
Academic Hall, formerly known as the Lower School Building, is the home of Baylor's sixth grade. The bottom floor of Academic hosts Baylor's Spanish classes, one French class, and also contains Baylor's second largest computer lab.
Trustee Hall, opened in 1936, was formerly a dormitory. It houses offices as well as classrooms for English, mathematics, and German. Baylor's Writing Center is also in Trustee Hall.
Probasco Academic Center, opened in the fall of the 2018-2019 academic year, is a $14 million dollar building with newly updated classrooms.
An addition to Baylor's Alumni Chapel was dedicated in 1991 by Rev. Billy Graham. The main chapel is where weekly assemblies and chapel services are held. (The school began as a non-sectarian school; now not a religious school, it retains a chaplain and required "chapel" meetings that feature guest speakers. Electives are taught in ethics and religion.) The original 1927 chapel, now called Old Chapel, is now used for upper-school study hall. Beneath the main chapel is a majority of the mathematics department. The chapel also houses the Board of Trustees' board room.
Art facilities
Ireland Fine Arts Center is Baylor's fine arts building. Ireland houses Baylor's pottery, drawing, painting, print making, and lower-school art classes. Ireland provides inspirational views for artists as it overlooks the Tennessee River. Named for the family of benefactor Bill Ireland, class of 1941.
The Roddy Performing Arts Center is home to Baylor's performing arts. Dance, drama, photography, and film classes are located in Roddy.

It is named in honor of Ruth Lowrance Street, the wife of trustee Gordon P. Street and mother of trustee Gordon P. Street Jr.
Hunter Hall is home to Baylor's admission and administrative staff. Hunter is located at the center of campus and houses a girls' dormitory as well as two classrooms in Hunter. Built in 1917 as Academic Building, it is named for 1907 alumnus and trustee George T. Hunter.
Probasco Hall is one of four boys' dorms. The 1966 building is named for benefactor Scott L. Probasco.
Riverfront Dorm is Baylor's newest girls' dorm. It overlooks the Tennessee River. Riverfront, along with Harrison Hall, are Baylor's only dorms that are fully residential (i.e. no classrooms or offices).
Lupton II, III, and Lupton Annex are the home to Baylor boys from all grades. Lupton III is known for having the largest dorm rooms on campus. Lupton also overlooks the Tennessee River. Latin, French, English, mathematics, and history classes are also held in the bottom two floors of Lupton. Lupton Annex and Lupton are connected at the third and fourth floors. The first Lupton Hall was built in 1915. The buildings are named for Coca-Cola bottler John Thomas Lupton, the largest benefactor of the school.

Athletic facilities
The Field House is Baylor's main home for athletics. It has three basketball courts made of a multi-versatile surface, a cardio-weight room, several men's and women's locker rooms, several coaches' offices, the training room, James C. Duke Arena (Baylor's main basketball court), and the meeting room for Baylor's Honor Council. The newest addition to the Field House is Baylor's Aquatic Center, the school's multimillion-dollar, Olympic-sized swimming pool, which opened in 2006.
Baylor's Alexander Guerry Tennis Center, completed in 1987, includes 12 outdoor courts and 7 indoor courts. Named for the benefactor.
The Luke Worsham Memorial Wrestling Arena is Baylor's new wrestling facility. It was built in the structure of Baylor's former swimming pool, but is now a state-of-the-art wrestling arena. Named for the former teacher and wrestling coach.

The Parry Center, located near the Tennis Center, is home to Baylor's Walkabout program. There is also an indoor climbing gym located directly behind the Parry Center.
Other campus features
Perched in the quadrangle in the heart of the campus is a statue of the mythological character Icarus, placed in memory of a student, Johnson Bryant, who died in a 2003 car wreck while a student at Baylor. The statue stands as a reminder to students to always find balance to avoid a similar fate, which was huffing butane gas while driving.
Traditions
As an outgrowth of the well-known Baylor/McCallie rivalry, the oldest rivalry in Tennessee, the school week of the football game is referred to as Spirit Week. During this time, students may forgo wearing the required uniform to wear themed costumes. The most commonly recurring of these themes is "Red Day," which typically is on the Friday of the Baylor/McCallie football game, in celebration of the school's color, in which the theme is to dress in as much red as is humanly possible. Prizes are awarded to whichever student is deemed by the school to be wearing the most red. In 2009 Baylor won the well-known rivalry football game against McCallie for the first time in eleven years, and had won the game against McCallie five times since then, from 2009-2013. Their most recent win against McCallie was in 2015. (The wins occurred in four regularly scheduled Baylor-McCallie games as well as a TSSAA playoff game.) In 2014, Baylor's streak was cut short when McCallie decided to play at their home field, Spears Stadium. After that, the winning team was usually determined by home field advantage. That is until 2017 when McCallie won big against Baylor at Heywood Stadium. Since then, Baylor had suffered 6 straight losses against McCallie on both fields, as well as Finley Stadium in 2020 (they could not play at Spears Stadium due to the Coronavirus pandemic). . In 2022, the Red Raiders finally snapped the Blue Tornados 6 game win streak, winning 31-27.
Honor code and Honor Council
Baylor students must abide by the rules of Baylor's honor code, established in 1916. Baylor School's honor code is based on the honor code at the University of Virginia. When students enter the school, they sign a pledge: "the Honor System is an understanding among Baylor student that they do not want among them one who will lie, cheat, or falsify information. I understand this principle, and I recognize that I shall be expected to live in accordance with it." After entry to Baylor, before every test, Baylor students sign their name, pledging "I pledge that I have upheld both the letter and the spirit of the Baylor Honor Code, neither giving nor receiving unauthorized assistance on this assessment." Students who are charged with violating the honor code must stand trial with the Honor Council, consisting of two freshmen, three sophomores, four juniors, and five seniors. Punishments for violation of the honor code range from a warning to expulsion.
Notable alumni and faculty
Alumni
Baylor alumni excel in a multiplicity of fields. Perhaps the Baylor alum with the most historical significance is businessman Jo Conn Guild, who together with Wendell Willkie sued to determine the constitutionality of the Tennessee Valley Authority nearly one hundred years ago. In the current era, many alumni are noted for their work in politics, including U.S. Ambassador to NATO David M. Abshire, U.S. presidential candidate Thomas J. Anderson, Tennessee State Senator Bo Watson, Tennessee Attorney General Robert E. Cooper Jr., current Chattanooga mayor Tim Kelly, former Chattanooga mayor Andy Berke, Georgia Congressman Charlie Norwood, and the 48th Governor of Alabama, Fob James. Several Baylor graduates have excelled in medicine, including emergency medicine physician Francis M. Fesmire, and psychiatrist Robert Taylor Segraves. A number of Baylor graduates, such as Hugh Beaumont (famous for being the father on the classic 1950s and early 1960s TV show Leave it to Beaver), have gone on to have notable careers in entertainment. Many Baylor students go on to play sports collegiately and professionally, including Brian Gottfried who reached Nº3 in the world in tennis, World No. 4-ranked tennis player Roscoe Tanner, collegiate and pro golfers Keith Mitchell and Harris English, Olympic Gold Medal-winning swimmer Geoff Gaberino, swimmer Brad Hamilton, Pro Football Hall of Famer John Hannah, College Football Hall of Famer Herman Hickman, and pro football player Jacques McClendon. Notable alumni involved in journalism and literature include Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists and authors Bill Dedman and Wendell Rawls Jr.; newspaper editors Shelby Coffey III, and Albert Hodges Morehead; and authors Coleman Barks, William E. Duff, and Arthur Golden.

Alms for Jihad: Charity and Terrorism in the Islamic World is a 2006 book co-written by American authors J. Millard Burr, a former USAID relief coordinator in Sudan, and historian Robert O. Collins which discusses the role of Islamic charities in financing terrorism.
Controversy
In August 2007, the UK publisher Cambridge University Press ("CUP"), attempted to have the work removed from circulation due to libel action against them under the English legal system by Saudi businessman Khalid Salim A. Bin Mahfouz because the book accused him of funding al-Qaeda.
Kevin Taylor, intellectual property director at Cambridge University Press, stated that the book cited sources "whose falsity had been established to the satisfaction of the English courts" and "the evidence produced by the authors of Alms for Jihad, repeated from earlier sources, has not stood up to the requisite tests."
However, the authors of the book opposed CUP's action; instead, they urged Cambridge to contest the lawsuit. CUP was criticized by some who claimed that its action was incompatible with US freedom of speech laws and with freedom of the press, and also claimed English libel laws were excessively strict. In The New York Times Book Review (7 October 2007), United States Congressman Frank R. Wolf described CUP's settlement as "basically a book burning".
Effect on sales
Within hours, Alms for Jihad became one of the hundred most popular titles on Amazon.com and eBay in the United States. CUP wrote to libraries asking them to remove copies from circulation. CUP subsequently sent out copies of an errata sheet. The American Library Association issued a recommendation to libraries still holding Alms for Jihad: "Given the intense interest in the book, and the desire of readers to learn about the controversy first hand, we recommend that U.S. libraries keep the book available for their users."
Media reports
Nathan Vardi published an article in Forbes magazine titled "Sins of the Father?" on March 18, 2002, with the heading: "Khalid bin Mahfouz, a Saudi billionaire, spent the 1990s engaged in financial folly and funding what the U.S. government calls a front for Al-Qaeda. Now a new generation tries to escape the shadow."
Subsequently
The case led to the passing of the Libel Terrorism Protection Act (also known as "Rachel's Law") by the state of New York on April 29, 2008.
Previous cases
Mahfouz had previously also sued over claims in four other books:
June 2006: La Vérité Interdite (The Forbidden Truth) by Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquié
April 2006: Funding Evil: How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop It, by Rachel Ehrenfeld
July 2004: Terrorism financing: roots and trends of Saudi terrorism financing, prepared by JCB Consulting

Sven Selånger (born Sven Ivan Eriksson, 19 March 1907 – 9 November 1992) was a Swedish Nordic skier. He competed at the 1928, 1932 and 1936 Olympics in the Nordic combined and ski jumping events and won a silver in the jumping in 1936. In 1932 he finished fourth in the jumping and fifth in the Nordic combined. He was the Swedish Olympic flag bearer in 1932 and 1936.
Selånger won ski jumping bronze medals at the 1931, 1933, and 1934 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships and a gold medal in the 1933 nordic combined event. He won the Holmenkollen ski festival's ski jumping competition in 1939, the first non-Norwegian to do so. In 1939, Selånger became the first non-Norwegian to receive the Holmenkollen medal. He also won the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal in 1939.
Selånger was a bandy player in the 1920s. He competed in skiing as Sven Eriksson until the 1936 Winter Olympics, and then changed his surname to Selånger, after his hometown, to avoid being confused with numerous other Swedes named Eriksson. In retirement he returned to bandy, as a player and coach for IK Viking, and worked as a sporting goods trader.

Brahmapuram Diesel Power Plant is a 106.6 MW public sector power station in Kochi, India run by the Kerala State Electricity Board, commissioned in 1997. It is controlled by Kerala load Distribution Center(KLDC).
Overview
The plant is based on large-bore 4 stroke diesel engines from MAN B&W, Germany. The plant has a total of five machines with capacity to generate 21.32 MW power each. Though the station is still known as diesel power plant, it has been using low sulphur heavy stock (LSHS) -- a residual fuel processed from indigenous crude, provided by IOC—in place of diesel. LSHS is in semisolid form. It is heated by steam to make it liquid form. When melts it becomes the same form of diesel. The transfer of diesel to LSHS is done by a three valve mechanism(first diesel, then a mixture of diesel and LSHS, then LSHS).
Number of Cylinders : 18
Cylinder configuration : V type
Engine capacity : 18000 cc/cylinder
Engine power : 30,000 bhp
Fuel used : Diesel (for starting), LSHS(low sulphur heavy stock)
Electrical section
The engine is coupled with an alternator. The alternator consists of a stator and a rotor and the entire assembly is under one case. Switchgear of 220 kV, 25000 A is used to control the supply. Then the load is reduced to 11 kV for transmission, with the help of step down transformers
It uses direct current for all its applications (easy to store). The cost of power production at the existing diesel plant at Brahmapuram is Rs. 13 per kWh, considering the cost the three machines are operated only when it is absolutely necessary. The power produced from here is connected to the KSEB grid and supplied to the consumers in the state of Kerala.
Expansion
The Kerala State Electricity Board has decided to set up a 400MW combined cycle power generation facility on the premises of the existing power plant at Brahmapuram, using natural gas as the feedstock. GAIL will be supplying LNG for the new power plant from the Petronet LNG Terminal. The power plant is likely to be completed by early 2017.
