The 2022–23 Anaheim Ducks season was the 30th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 15, 1993. The Ducks attempted to improve on a disappointing 2021–22 campaign (a 31–37–14 record; 76 points) and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2018, when they were swept in the first round by the San Jose Sharks. This is also the first season without longtime captain Ryan Getzlaf as he retired at the end of the 2021–22 season. This is the first season the Ducks have entered without a captain. The Ducks were eliminated from playoff contention on March 19, 2023, after a loss to the Vancouver Canucks and finished with a worse record than the previous season. This is the first full season for the Ducks under general manager Pat Verbeek as former general manager Bob Murray was placed on administrative leave by the team pending the results of an ongoing investigation. On November 10, 2021, Jeff Solomon was named acting general manager but was then the interim general manager when Murray resigned. Then on February 3, 2022, the Ducks named Pat Verbeek the permanent general manager. The Ducks finished the season with a goal differential of –129, the worst for any team in the league since the 1999–2000 Atlanta Thrashers.

Sang Ratu Sri Ugrasena was a Balinese king who is thought to have ruled between 837-864 Saka, or 915-942 CE. The capital of his kingdom was in Singhamandawa. The king issued several inscriptions regarding various activities of his people, including the giving of royal endowment, tax regulation, religious ceremony, and construction of public lodge and place of worship for pilgrims. His reign was approximately the same period as King Sindok's of the Isyana dynasty in East Java. King Ugrasena is mentioned in at least 9 inscriptions, namely Sembiran A I inscription, Babahan I inscription, Srokadan A inscription, Pengotan A I inscription, Batunya A I inscription, Dausa A I and Dausa B I inscriptions, Serai A I inscription, and Goblek Pura Batur A inscription. All inscriptions are written in Old Balinese, begin with the words yumu pakatahu (let it be known), and end with the mention of the issuing body, namely the pangalapuan Singhamandawa (government advisory body in Singhamandawa). King Ugrasena was buried in a temple called Air Madatu, according to the inscription issued by King Tabanendra Warmadewa who ruled afterward.

Charles Endell Esquire is a British comedy-drama series that is a spin-off of the series Budgie, with the role of Endell continuing to be played by Iain Cuthbertson. Due to an ITV technicians' strike which took the network completely off the air for three months, the first two episodes were broadcast in 1979 and the remaining episodes were not aired until a full repeat of the series began on 26 April 1980 on almost all ITV regions, except Southern Television (which started it on 1 May 1980) and Westward Television (which never broadcast the series). Only six episodes were made. Plot Charles Endell was sent to prison for ten years after the last episode of Budgie. The show starts with Charlie Endell returning to his native Glasgow after serving seven years (with three off for good behaviour). He plans to re-establish himself in Glasgow after his former business empire in London was broken up by the vice squad. Back in Glasgow, he visits his solicitor, Archibald Telfer, to acquire his "rainy day" cash. Archibald Telfer apparently dies and the money disappears, but Charlie is convinced that the death has been faked.

Garrett Augustus Morgan Sr. (March 4, 1877 – July 27, 1963) was an American inventor, businessman, and community leader. His most notable inventions were a type of three-way traffic light, and a protective 'smoke hood' notably used in a 1916 tunnel construction disaster rescue. Morgan also discovered and developed a chemical hair-processing and straightening solution. He created a successful company called "G. A. Morgan Hair Refining Company" based on his hair product inventions along with a complete line of haircare products and became involved in the civic and political advancement of African Americans, especially in and around Cleveland, Ohio. Early life and education Morgan was born in 1877 in Paris, Kentucky, an almost exclusively African American community. His father was Sydney Morgan, a son and freed slave of Confederate General John H. Morgan of Morgan's Raiders. His mother, also a freed slave, was Elizabeth Reed, daughter of Rev. Garrett Reed; she was part Native American. Garrett Morgan was the seventh of 11 children. Morgan only received a sixth grade education at Branch Elementary School in Claysville, Kentucky, then moved in search of work at the age of 14 to Cincinnati, Ohio. Career Morgan spent most of his teenage years working as a handyman for a Cincinnati landowner. Like many African American children growing up at the turn of the century, he had to quit school at a young age to work full-time. Morgan was able to hire a tutor and continue his studies while working in Cincinnati. In 1895, he moved to Cleveland, where he began repairing sewing machines for a clothing manufacturer. This experience sparked Morgan's interest in how things worked, and he built a reputation for fixing them. His first invention, made during this period, was a belt fastener for sewing machines. Morgan also invented a zigzag attachment for sewing machines. In 1907, Morgan opened a sewing machine shop. One year later, more conscious of his heritage, he helped start the Cleveland Association of Colored Men in 1908. One year later, he and his wife Mary Anne, opened Morgan's Cut Rate Ladies Clothing Store. The shop made coats, suits, dresses, and other clothing, and ultimately had 32 employees. Around 1910, his interest in repairing other people's inventions waned, and he became interested in developing some of his own. He received his first patent in 1912. In 1913, he incorporated hair care products into his growing list of patents and launched the G. A. Morgan Hair Refining Company, which sold hair care products, including his patented hair straightening cream, hair coloring, and a hair straightening comb invented by Morgan. He received a patent for his smoke hood design in 1914 which was a smoke protection device also known as a "gas mask." That same year, he launched the National Safety Device Company. "Morgan's breathing device became the prototype and precursor for the gas masks used during World War I, protecting soldiers from toxic gas used in warfare. The invention earned him the first prize at the Second International Exposition of Safety and Sanitation in New York City." In 1916, Morgan rescued workers trapped in a water intake tunnel beneath Lake Erie, using the smoke hood to protect his eyes from smoke and featuring a series of air tubes that hung near the ground to draw clean air beneath the rising smoke. Morgan would also create a traffic signal in 1923 after witnessing a horrible crash at an intersection. He created a traffic light that included a new signal that worked as a warning light rather than the traditional options of "go" and "stop." He acquired three patents in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. He eventually sold the rights to General Electric for $40,000. Later in life he developed glaucoma and by 1943 was functionally blind. He had poor health the rest of his life, but continued to work on his inventions. One of his last was a self-extinguishing cigarette, which used a small plastic pellet filled with water placed just before the filter. He died on July 27, 1963, at age 86 and was buried at the Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Products and inventions Hair care products Morgan conducted experiments with a liquid that gave sewing machine needles a high polish that prevented the needle from burning fabric as it sewed. In 1905, Morgan accidentally discovered that the liquid could also straighten hair. After he discovered this, he wiped the liquid on a piece of pony fur cloth and it stood straight. He also observed that the liquid worked on his neighbor's dog and his own hair. He made the liquid into a refining cream and launched the G. A. Morgan Hair Refining Company to market it. Morgan received great success and added other products including "hair-growing" cream, black hair oil dye, and a curved-tooth comb for hair straightening in 1910. Traffic signal Following the success of his company, Morgan became a well-known citizen in Cleveland and achieved financial success leading to his purchasing of a new automobile. In 1922, he witnessed an accident between a horse-drawn carriage and a car which sparked inspiration to prevent the likelihood of future events occurring. The traditional way of road signalling was through a police officer, but this method was laborious and less visible to drivers. Also, the only two options were "stop" and "go" which made the flow of traffic difficult to navigate. Morgan created a folding traffic signal with folding arms with "stop" and "go" written on many signs which would be situated on a post above traffic. The signals could also be raised halfway in between to indicate caution moving forward. A traffic attendant would crank the post to signal and all lanes could be stopped by showing "stop" if needed. A patent for Morgan's traffic signal was issued in 1923 and he later sold the rights to General Electric for $40,000. Smoke hood Garrett Morgan invented a "safety hood smoke protection device" after seeing firefighters struggling to withstand the suffocating smoke they encountered in the line of duty. His device used a moist sponge to filter out smoke and cool the air. It took advantage of the way smoke and fumes tend to rise to higher positions while leaving a layer of more breathable air below, by using an air intake tube that dangled near the floor. The hood used a series of tubes to draw clean air of the lowest level the tubes could extend to. Smoke, being hotter than the air around it, rises, and by drawing air from the ground, the Safety Hood provided the user with a way to perform emergency respiration. He filed for a patent on the device in 1912, and founded a company called the National Safety Device Company in 1914 to market it. He was able to sell his invention around the country, sometimes using the tactic of hiring a white actor who would take credit rather than revealing himself as its inventor. For demonstrations of the device, he sometimes adopted the disguise of "Big Chief Mason," a purported full-blooded Indian from the Walpole Island Indian Reserve in Canada. He would demonstrate the device by building a noxious fire fueled by tar, sulfur, formaldehyde, and manure inside an enclosed tent. Disguised as "Big Chief Mason," he would enter the tent full of black smoke, and would remain there for 20 minutes before emerging unharmed. A successful demonstration was also presented in Cleveland, Ohio. A representative of the company, Mr. Mason, entered a poisonous building with Morgan's hood on his head and remained in that environment for twenty minutes. The test was satisfactory according to Chief Stickle of the Cleveland Fire Department, who said that the device was much cheaper and simpler than the oxygen mask used during that time. Following the demonstration, Chief Stickle recommended the purchase of several smoke hoods for the fire department. Mr. Mason continued to make numerous demonstrations in Ravenna, Youngstown, Canton, and other neighboring cities in Ohio where the device was proclaimed a success. The purchase of Morgan's Smoke Hood was not limited within the boundaries of fire departments in northeastern Ohio. Many large cities throughout the United States had Morgan's Smoke Hood in their fire departments, hospitals, asylums, and ammonia factories, and were using them satisfactorily. His safety hood device was simple and effective, whereas the other devices in use at the time were generally difficult to put on, excessively complex, unreliable, or ineffective. It was patented and awarded a gold medal two years later by the International Association of Fire Chiefs. Morgan's safety hood was used to save many lives during the period of its use. He also developed later models that incorporated an airbag that could hold about 15 minutes of fresh air. His invention became known nationally when he led a rescue that saved several men's lives after the July 24, 1916, Waterworks Tunnel explosion in Cleveland, Ohio. Before Morgan arrived, two previous rescue attempts had failed. The attempted rescuers had become victims themselves by entering the tunnel and not returning. Morgan was roused in the middle of the night after one of the members of the rescue team who had seen a demonstration of his device sent a messenger to convince him to come and to bring as many of his Safety Hoods as he could. He, as well as his brother Frank, arrived on the scene still wearing their pajamas and bringing four Smoke Hoods with them. Most of the rescuers on the scene were initially skeptical of his device, so he and his brother went into the tunnel along with two other volunteers, and succeeded in pulling out two men from the previous rescue attempts. He emerged carrying a victim on his back, and his brother followed just behind with another. Others joined in after his team succeeded, and rescued several more. His device was also used to retrieve the bodies of the rescuers that did not survive. Morgan personally made four trips into the tunnel during the rescue, and his health was affected for years afterward from the fumes he encountered there. Cleveland newspapers and city officials initially ignored Morgan's act of heroism as the first to rush into the tunnel for the rescue and the key role he played as the provider of the equipment that made the rescue possible, and it took years for the city to recognize his contributions. The mayor of that time Harry L. Davis failed to put Garrett Morgan's name on the list of recommended heroes. City officials requested the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission to issue medals to several of the men involved in the rescue but excluded Morgan from their request. He believed that the omission was racially motivated. Morgan's suspicions were confirmed by Victor M. Sincere of the Bailey Company in his statement to the Citizens Award Committee. "Your deed should serve to help break down the shafts of prejudice with which you struggle. And is sure to be the beacon of light for those that follow you in the battles of life." Later, in 1917, a group of citizens of Cleveland tried to correct for the omission by presenting him with a diamond-studded gold medal. After the heroic rescue Morgan's company received more order requests from fire departments all over the country. However, the national news contained photographs of him, and officials a number of southern cities canceled their existing orders when they discovered he was black. Morgan said in his diary, "I had but a little schooling, but I am a graduate from the school of hard knocks and cruel treatment. I have personally saved nine lives." He was also given a medal from the International Association of Fire Engineers, which made him an honorary member. Community leadership In 1908, he co-founded the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, which later merged with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Morgan served as its treasurer. He was a member of the NAACP and donated money to historically black colleges and universities. Morgan, in 1920, founded the Cleveland Call, a weekly newspaper and, in 1938, subsequently participated in its merger that created the Cleveland Call and Post newspaper. Morgan purchased a farm near Wakeman, Ohio, and upon that land build the Wakeman Country Club, open to Blacks, unlike most country clubs then. Morgan was a member of the Prince Hall Freemasons, in Excelsior Lodge No. 11 of Cleveland, Ohio. He belonged to Antioch Baptist Church. In 1931, seeing that the city was neither properly addressing the needs of its African American citizens, he ran for a seat on the Cleveland City Council as an independent, but was not elected. Personal life He married Madge Nelson in 1896, only to divorce in 1898. In 1908, he and Czech-immigrant Mary Hasek were married. Together, they had three children: John P., Garrett A. Jr., and Cosmo H. Morgan. Garrett died in Cleveland in 1963, where he was buried in Lake View Cemetery. Awards and recognitions At the Emancipation Centennial Celebration in Chicago, Illinois, in August 1963 (one month after his death), Morgan was nationally recognized. In the Cleveland, Ohio, area, the Garrett A. Morgan Cleveland School of Science and the Garrett A. Morgan Water Treatment Plant were named in his honor, along with an elementary school in Chicago. An elementary school bearing his name opened in the fall of 2016 in Lexington, Kentucky. In Prince George's County, Maryland, there is a street named Garrett A. Morgan Boulevard (formerly Summerfield Boulevard until 2002) and the adjacent Metro stop (Morgan Boulevard) also bears his name. Morgan was included in the 2002 book 100 Greatest African Americans by Molefi Kete Asante. Morgan is an honorary member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Morgan's invention of the safety hood was featured on the television show Inventions that Shook the World and Mysteries at the Museum (S08E05).

The North Jersey Super Football Conference is a football-only athletic league of high schools in New Jersey. The 115-team league was formed in 2016. History The NJSFC consists of nearly all of the football playing members of four conferences that were formed after a significant realignment in New Jersey high school athletics saw the creation of several new leagues. The conferences that came together to form this league were: The Big North Conference, which consists of many larger public and parochial schools in Passaic County and Bergen County. The Hudson County Interscholastic League, which consists of most of the public and parochial schools in Hudson County with the exceptions of Secaucus High School, Weehawken High School, and Harrison High School (which all belong to the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference). The Super Essex Conference, which consists entirely of schools in Essex County. The Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference, which consists of schools located in Morris County, Sussex County and Warren County. The league, which included more than one hundred schools, is the largest such league in the United States. In 2020, the NJSFC announced the forming of what they referred to as the Ivy Divisions. Two sets of teams play exclusively against each other in the Ivy White and Ivy Red divisions, and both are composed of teams that have consistently had trouble either fielding a team or staying competitive. The teams are grouped together largely regardless of size, and each of the initial schools that compete in the divisions are required to commit to them for two years. Ivy Division schools are precluded from state playoff consideration. Divisions There are a total of six sections of the NJSFC, with most consisting of three or four divisions: United Red Bergen Catholic High School Don Bosco Preparatory High School Paramus Catholic High School Saint Joseph Regional High School St. Peter's Preparatory School United White Delbarton School DePaul Catholic High School Pope John XXIII Regional High School Seton Hall Preparatory School United Blue Hudson Catholic Regional High School Immaculata High School Immaculate Conception High School (Montclair) Morris Catholic High School Liberty Red Bayonne High School East Side High School (Newark) Irvington High School Kearny High School North Bergen High School Union City High School Liberty White Barringer High School Bloomfield High School East Orange Campus High School Livingston High School Montclair High School West Orange High School Liberty Blue Clifton High School Eastside High School (Paterson) John F.

It is based on a 1957 novel by Australian author Jon Cleary. Plot outline The novel starts at France's 24-hour Le Mans race when British champion racing driver Greg Rafferty crashes his car. The plot then follows Rafferty as he continues to race while also concealing his fears. Cast Bill Travers as Rafferty Ed Begley as Bartell Sid James as Richie Launder Nancy Walters as Diane Ursula Jeans as Mrs. Rafferty Megs Jenkins as Kitty Launder Jack Brabham as himself Sean Kelly as Taz Rafferty Tutte Lemkow as Carlo Zaraga Gordon Tanner as Hastrow Ferdy Mayne as Rossano Peter Collingwood as Charlie Roland Curram as George Diane Clare as Pamela Harold Kasket as Lupi Original novel It was based on a novel which had been published in 1957. Background Cleary had written a book about Australian politics, The Mayor's Nest, but his English publisher was worried it would not appeal to an international audience, and suggested a book on motor racing. Cleary and his wife had lived in Italy for a year and became familiar with the motor races there such as the Mille Miglia. He had not written in six months, so moved to Valencia, a small town in Spain where he rented a villa. He wrote the novel in twenty days at a chapter a day. Reception The book became a best seller on its publication in 1957. Cleary says Reader's Digest paid an advance of 20,000 pounds for their editions. Production Film rights were bought by MGM, who hired Cleary to adapt his own novel. He said, "They bought it on the strength that some American producer who was an alcoholic which they didn't know he'd read the book... This producer said he had something between 20 and 25000 feet of the most spectacular motor racing. And he ran about a thousand feet of it and it was spectacular. What they didn't know was the other 24,000 was just nothing." The head of MGM's British operation was Lawrence Bachmann. The director was Michael Forlong, a New Zealander from television. This was his first film. "I want this to be an adult film about a sport I love very much," said Forlong. "I want to show why drivers race, why they are frightened, why they can't give it up." The star was Bill Travers who Cleary said "was a charming likeable bloke but he was miscast" and who asked the author not to write "any long speeches because I can't handle them." Travers was six feet four which meant they had to design a car around him. The technical adviser was Stirling Moss. Ed Begley was imported from America. Cleary said Walters was a beauty queen who had been signed to MGM "and she was charming and friendly and everybody liked her, she was an absolute dish to look at...and she couldn't change expression." South African Sid James was cast as an Australian although Cleary says he spoke in "an Afrikaaner accent. They put him in because he looked right for the part and he was always good at working class characters." Although most of the movie was set in Italy, it was shot in Wales. It was completed by January 1961. Reception Critical The New York Times called it "a noisy diatribe against speed car racing" in which Travers "looks unhappy" and Begley "delivers every cliche in the script with embarrassing enthusiasm." Variety called it a "pack of autoracing melodramatic cliches helped by fast action sequences." Box office Cleary disliked the final film and said "They got their money back on it but only just." According to MGM records the film earned $375,000 in the US and $575,000 internationally, making a profit of $124,000.

Benjamin William Everitt (born 22 November 1979) is a British Conservative Party politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Milton Keynes North since the 2019 general election. Early life and career Everitt was born in Grantham, Lincolnshire, in 1979 to parents Peter and Rosemary Everitt. He attended The King's School in Grantham, and then Durham University, where he obtained a BSc. Everitt worked as a management consultant for Deloitte from 2009 to 2012. He was latterly head of strategy for the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales from 2012 to 2020. Political career At the 2015 local elections, Everitt was elected to Aylesbury Vale District Council, representing Great Brickhill and Newton Longville ward for the Conservatives. He was elected as the MP for the marginal Milton Keynes North constituency at the 2019 general election, succeeding the former Conservative MP Mark Lancaster. In 2020, Aylesbury Vale became part of the newly created Buckinghamshire Council, with Everitt serving as a councillor on the new unitary authority until the inaugural elections in May 2021. In 2020, Everitt became chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Housing Market and Housing Delivery. He also became chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Connected and Automated Mobility with his Milton Keynes North constituency being home to numerous automated mobility trials including driverless cars. Everitt is a supporter of Brexit. He was successful in campaigning for a new £200 million Women and Children's Hospital in Milton Keynes, alongside fellow Conservative MP Iain Stewart, who represents Milton Keynes South. In November 2020, Everitt was one of more than 50 MPs who signed a letter calling on a proposed pay rise for MPs to be scrapped due to the coronavirus pandemic. The pay rise was scrapped in December. Everitt has called on the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, to extend the Stamp Duty holiday which had been put in place to support movers and the housing market during the pandemic. Controversies Everitt was criticised by opponents during the 2019 election campaign for allegedly staging a photo of himself picking up litter in the car park of the Conservative Club in Bletchley. Transphobia In May 2020, a tweet posted by Everitt in 2011 was shared on social media, in which he referred to the late Labour MP Tessa Jowell as looking like "a tranny with a hangover". He apologised for the remark. Expenses Everitt attracted media attention in 2021 as a result of an investigation into his second home expenses by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority following a complaint by a constituent as a result of official statistics showing that Everitt was among the top ten claimants of second home expenses out of 650 MPs despite his constituency being within a short commute of London. The investigation found no evidence that Everitt had broken any rules, concluding that while he was claiming £2,800 per month rent from the taxpayer for a second family home in London despite his children not visiting the property during the 2020/21 financial year and his children being educated in Milton Keynes, this was within the rules. Personal life He married Emma Skinner in 2006; the couple have a son and two daughters. He lists his recreations as "family, watching Rugby, drinking beer", and is a member of the United and Cecil Club.

Mary (, Mašen'ka) is the debut novel by Vladimir Nabokov, first published under the pen name V. Sirin in 1926 by Russian-language publisher "Slovo". Plot summary Mary is the story of Lev Glebovich Ganin, a Russian émigré and former White Guard Officer displaced by the Russian Revolution. Ganin is now living in a boarding house in Berlin, along with a young Russian girl, Klara, an old Russian poet, Podtyagin, his landlady, Lydia Nikolaevna Dorn and his neighbour, Aleksey Ivanovich Alfyorov, whom he meets in a dark, broken-down elevator at the beginning of the novel. Through a series of conversations with Alfyorov and a photograph, Ganin discovers that his long-lost first love, Mary, is now the wife of his rather unappealing neighbour, and that she will be joining him soon. As Ganin realizes this, he ends his relationship with his current girlfriend, Lyudmila, and begins to be consumed by his memories of his time in Russia with Mary, which Ganin notes were "perhaps the happiest days of his life". Enthralled by his vision of Mary and unable to let Alfyorov have her, Ganin contrives to reunite with Mary, who he believes still loves him. Eventually, Ganin claims that he will leave Berlin the night before Mary is to arrive and his fellow residents throw a party for him the night before. Ganin steadily plies Alfyorov with alcohol, heavily intoxicating him. Just before Alfyorov falls into his drunken sleep, he asks Ganin to set his alarm clock for half past seven, as Alfyorov intends to pick up Mary at the train station the next morning. The infatuated Ganin instead sets the clock for eleven and plans to meet Mary at the train station himself. However, as he leaves the house, he has a moment of clarity. "The world of memories in which Ganin had dwelt became what it was in reality: the distant past... Other than that image no Mary existed, nor could exist." Instead of meeting Mary, Ganin decides to board a train to France. A secondary, minor plot concerns an old Russian poet, Anton Sergeyevich Podtyagin, who appears to be an older version of Ganin. He frequently expresses that his life dedicated to poetry has been a waste. Podtyagin desires to eventually leave Berlin and arrive in Paris, but fails to do so on several occasions due to a series of unfortunate events (i.e. loses passport). Characters in Mary Lev Glebovich Ganin – The protagonist of the novel; a young displaced Russian writer in Berlin who is unable to forget Mary, his first love. Aleksey Ivanovich Alfyorov – The husband of Mary and the neighbour of Ganin. Lydia Nikolaevna Dorn – The landlady of Ganin. An old Russian woman who inherited the boarding house after her German husband died. Lyudmila Borisovna Rubanski – Ganin's girlfriend in the opening chapters of the novel. Klara – A young Russian girl living in the same building as Ganin. She harbors an intense attraction to him. Anton Sergeyevich Podtyagin – An old Russian poet who desires to leave Berlin for Paris, but fails to do so. Reappears briefly in The Gift. Mary Alfyorov – The eponymous character and Ganin's first love. Mary never appears in the present of the novel, but only in Ganin's memories. Kolin and Gornotsvetov – Ballet dancers, also living at Lydia's boarding house. Erika – Maid (her name is mentioned in chapter 2, clearing way the plates, and in chapter 7, delivering a letter to Ganin). Russian doctor – Unnamed physician called on to see Podtyagin (chapter 16). Background Mary was first written and published in the mid-1920s during Nabokov's stay in Berlin. Nabokov's (or "Sirin's", as he was known at the time) first novel contains, as many of his works do, key autobiographical elements. According to Brian Boyd, the character Mary Alfyorov is based on Nabokov's first love, Valentina (Lyussya) Evgenievna Shulgin, a fifteen-year-old Russian girl he met in 1915 at a pavilion in the estate of Vyra, at the age of sixteen. Nabokov's time with Lyussya is recorded in the final chapter of his autobiography, Speak, Memory where she is given the pseudonym "Tamara". Nabokov confirms this connection himself in the foreword to the English edition, where he writes that "Mary is a twin sister of [his] Tamara". Like Ganin, Nabokov was separated from Tamara by the Russian Revolution and forced into Berlin as an émigré. Criticism Reception The novel was initially well-received in the 1920s for its inventive structure and vivid descriptions of pre-Revolutionary Russia. Among contemporary critics however, it is generally viewed as an early, relatively juvenile work of Nabokov, written at a time before he came into his own as an author. Nabokov himself seemed to share the same opinion, at least on a technical level, as he notes its "flaws [and] the artifacts of innocence and inexperience". Furthermore, Nabokov's decision to translate and publish Mary in English last out of all his Russian novels perhaps is an indication of his opinion on its quality (the Russian works which he held in most esteem, such as Invitation to a Beheading and The Defense, were translated and published into English decades earlier). Yet the author seemed to also have a softer side for his first novel, "confessing to the sentimental stab of [his] attachment" to it. Analysis In Mary, Nabokov explores many of the metaphysical ideas of French philosopher Henri Bergson and investigates the nature of the relationships between time, memory and consciousness, as noticed by scholars like Boyd and Eric Laursen. Furthermore, the issue of solipsism, which, according to Alfred Appel, is "a central concern" in Nabokov's oeuvre, is prominently featured in Mary, as Ganin struggles with the self-created image of his first love. As Leona Toker remarks, "the romance which started solipsistically in the imagination [ends], no less solipsistically". Film adaptation A film adaptation, titled Maschenka after the original Russian title, was released in 1987. The film, directed by John Goldschmidt with screenplay by John Mortimer, starred Cary Elwes as Ganin and Irina Brook as Maschenka. John Goldschmidt won the Cine De Luca Award for directing 'Maschenka" at the Monte Carlo TV Festival. Publication history 1970, USA, McGraw-Hill 1989, USA, Vintage International , Pub Date November 1989 English translation and authorial changes The novel first appeared in English in 1970 in a translation by Michael Glenny "in collaboration with the author." According to Nabokov, "I realized as soon as [we] started that our translation should be as faithful to the text as I would have insisted on its being had that text not been mine." He further stated that "The only adjustments I deemed necessary are limited to brief utilitarian phrases in three or four pages alluding to routine Russian matters ...[and] the switch of seasonal dates in Ganin's Julian Calendar to those of the Gregorian style in general use."

The Syro-Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Mananthavady is an Eastern Catholic eparchy in India, under the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. It was established in 1973 by Pope Paul VI. It is a suffragan diocese of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Archdiocese of Tellicherry, the bishop of the diocese is Jose Porunnedom. History The eparchy of Mananthavady was erected by Pope Paul VI, by the Bull Quanta Gloria of 1 March 1973 bifurcating the vast diocese of Tellicherry. The diocese of Tellicherry and Mananthavady were erected for the migrated peoples from the central Kerala. Population explosion and the shortage of food during the post-war period (1945-1960) induced them to migrate to the uninhabited fertile lands of northern Kerala and to some isolated pockets of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka States. These places were filled with thick forests and under the threat of malaria and other diseases. The migrated people, being agrarian, risking their own life cleared the forests and settled themselves cultivating paddy, rubber, coconut, coffee, cashew, pepper etc... The eparchy of Mananthavady comprises the civil districts of Wayanad and parts of the civil districts of Malapuram and Kannur in Kerala, the Nilgiris district in Tamil Nadu and the districts of Chickmangalore, Hassan, Mandya, Mysore, and Chamarajnagar in Karnataka. Of these, the district of Mandya is entrusted to the pastoral care of the Missionary Society of St. Thomas (MST), the district of Hassan to the Congregation of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI) and the district of Chickmangalore to the Norbertine Fathers (O.Pream). The Catholic population is mainly concentrated in Kerala, while Karnataka and Tamil Nadu regions are considered Diaspora. The eparchy has an area of approximately 37, 697 km2 and a population of 1,65,100 Syrian Catholics. At present there are 143 parishes, 17 independent stations and 37 mission stations. Mar Jacob Thoomkuzhy (archbishop emeritus of Thrissur) was consecrated as the first bishop of Mananthavady on 1 May 1973. After 22 years of able guidance, on 7 June 1995 he was transferred to the diocese of Thamarassery. The then Protosyncellus Msgr. Joseph Kaniamattam was appointed by the Major Archbishop as the Administrator of the eparchy on 27 July 1995. On 26 January 1997 Bishop Emmanuel Pothanamuzhy CMI was consecrated the second bishop of the eparchy. After the demise of Bishop Pothanamuzhy on 6 April 2003, Proto-syncellus Msgr. George Njaralakkatt was appointed the administrator of the eparchy. The present bishop Mar Jose Porunnedom was appointed on 18 March 2004 and was consecrated the third bishop of Mananthavady on 15 May 2004 and took charge of the office on the same day. The diocese of Mananthavady was bifurcated and new diocese namely Bhadravathi was erected on 21 August 2007. The bishop of the diocese of Bhadravathi is Mar Joseph Arumachadath MCBS. The diocese of Mananthavady was again bifurcated and a new diocese namely Mandya was erected on 18 January 2010.

SATS Security Services Pte Ltd (SSS) is a subsidiary of SATS Ltd, providing security services for aviation-related activities at Singapore Changi Airport. It provides armed auxiliary police officers for mainly airline clients as an auxiliary police force under the Police Force Act 2004. SATS also provides aviation security to airlines at Changi Airport in Singapore especially those managed by it parent ground handler SATS Ltd., although they also provide security to SATS-related facilities. History In 1965, SATS Security Services originally started as the Malayan Airways Security Department. Its existence back then was to meet the security and aviation needs of its aircraft and to a certain extent, the Paya Lebar Airport. The MASD was restricted within the confines of Paya Lebar Airport and they do not have the powers of regular police officers. SATS competed with the Changi International Airport Services when it was established in 1990. When Malayan Airways was renamed to Malaysian Singapore Airlines (MSA), its Security Department was renamed MSA Police in 1967. In 1972, Singapore Airlines (SIA) came into being, after parting ways with MSA becoming Malaysia Airlines System. MSA police was renamed SIA Auxiliary Police. A year later, SATS became a fully owned subsidiary of SIA and SIA Auxiliary Police became SATS Security Services, incorporating the former SIA Auxiliary Police Force in it. In October 2018, SATS announced that all of its officers working at Changi Airport will be deployed with body cameras. At the same time, it was also announced that a total of SGD$1m (US$730,000) would be invested to digitize Changi's security systems to improve its services due to manpower problems. In December 2021, SATS established its Outriders motorbike unit. For FY 2021-2022, SATS was granted a license to operate a training academy, being the third auxiliary police company to do so. Deployments Some current deployments of armed SATS Security personnel include: Singapore Changi Airport Resorts World Sentosa Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore Company Manpower SATS Security had a manpower of 450 officers in 1989; SSS had 760 officers in 1999. By the 1999-2000 fiscal year, 805 officers are employed. As of 2018, 800 officers are employed. Training SATS Security personnel who are eligible for further studies, are allowed to study for a diploma/specialist diploma in Aviation Management through SkillsFuture Work-Study Programmes. Uniforms Unlike Certis CISCO and AETOS auxiliary police, the uniform design of SATS Auxiliary Police closely resemble the Singapore Police Force (SPF); with the exception of the baby blue top and metallic cap and collar badges. This is done to distinguish differences from uniforms worn by officers from the SPF. Awards SSS received the Outstanding Achievement in Collaboration in Education & Training award from the Australian Business/Higher Education RoundTable alongside Edith Cowan University for developing a Security and Police Studies Diploma Programme and scholarship funds for it.

Clarence H. Mullins (March 16, 1895 – June 30, 1957) was an American jurist from the state of Alabama. He served as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama from 1943 until his death in 1957. He was the Chief Judge of the District court from 1948 until he assumed senior status in 1953 as a result of disability. Mullins was notable for his rulings in the 1940s in favor of desegregation, especially in housing discrimination. Education and career Mullins was born in Clanton, Alabama on March 6, 1895. He received a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1914 and went into private practice in Birmingham, Alabama. He became assistant city attorney of Birmingham and was county attorney of Jefferson County, Alabama until 1943. As an attorney, he once represented New York Yankees player Ben Chapman in his divorce. Federal judicial service On March 19, 1943, Mullins was nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to a new seat on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama created by 56 Stat. 1092. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on April 7, 1943, and received his commission on April 16, 1943. In 1948, he was named to the newly created position of Chief Judge for the court. In 1946, he issued rulings in two cases involving housing discrimination, the first in Birmingham and the second in Tarrant, Alabama. In both cases, Mullins ruled that discrimination in residential zoning was unconstitutional. In 1947, Samuel Matthews, a Birmingham resident sued the city after he had built a home inside an area that was zoned for blacks. He applied for an occupancy permit, which was denied by the city. Civil rights attorney Arthur Shores argued Matthews v. City of Birmingham before Mullins who ruled that the occupancy permit must be issued to Matthews. This, however, consisted of relief just in the case and did not overturn all of the ordinances. Before he could move in, Samuel Matthews' home was bombed and destroyed. In 1949, in response to these rulings, Bull Connor, the public safety director of Birmingham, changed the ordinances mandating segregated housing with new codes that made it a misdemeanor for whites to live in black neighborhoods and backs to live in white neighborhoods. Later that year, Mullins struck down the ordinances permanently in Monk v. City of Birmingham. Mary Means Monk, a black resident who had acquired land in a "white area", applied for a building permit to construct a home. She was denied one by the building inspector and enlisted Shores, who was joined by Thurgood Marshall, to file suit. The City hired Horace C. Wilkinson, a member of the Ku Klux Klan, to defend it in court. In December 1949, Mullins ruled that racial zoning laws were unconstitutional and overturned those ordinances. Wilkinson and the city appealed the ruling and, in 1951, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed Mullins' ruling. Judge Wayne G. Borah wrote the majority opinion, while the dissent was written by Robert Lee Russell, the younger brother of segregationist U.S. Senator Richard Russell Jr. Wilkinson appealed to the Supreme Court, which denied certiorari The rulings set off a wave of bombings of black homes, including those of Samuel Matthews and Mary Monk, during a period when the city acquired the nickname of "Bombingham". In May 1950, Judge Mullins ruled that the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad and Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, the labor union representing railroad firemen and engineers, could not discriminate against black firemen and had to assign them positions to which they were entitled based on seniority. On May 31, 1953, Judge Mullins became ill and assumed senior status due to a certified disability. Mullins served in that capacity until his death on June 30, 1957, in Mountain Brook, Alabama.

The Bulang (布朗族, Bùlǎngzú; also spelled Blang) people are an ethnic group. They form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. Names Yan & Zhou (2012:147) list the following autonyms of ethnic Bulang in various counties. (布朗): in Xishuangbanna (阿佤): in Shuangjiang and Lancang counties (乌德尔): some Bulang of Shuangjiang; means 'mountain people' (乌): in Yongde ( in Gantang 甘塘), Zhenkang, Shidian ( in Hazhai 哈寨), Changning counties (佤): in Mojiang County Exonyms for Bulang include (Yan & Zhou 2012:147): (谟): Dai exonym for the Bulang of Xishuangbanna (阿别): Hani exonym for the Bulang of Xishuangbanna (拉): Dai exonym for the Bulang of Shuangjiang (卡朴): : Lahu exonym for the Bulang (巴尔克): Wa exonym for the Bulang of Cangyuan Puman (濮曼, 蒲满): Han Chinese exonym for the Bulang Languages People classified as Bulang in China speak various Palaungic languages, including Blang and U. The Blang language belongs to the Palaungic branch of the Austroasiatic language family. Within the Palaungic branch, Blang belongs to the Waic subgroup, which also contains the languages of the Wa and Lawa peoples in addition to Blang. Some Blang also speak the Chinese language and Southwestern Tai languages in addition to Blang. Two systems of writing, based on the Latin alphabet, have been developed: 'Totham' in the Xishuangbanna and 'Tolek' from Dehong and Lincang. History Chinese ethnographers identify the Blang as descendants of an ancient tribe known as the "Pu" (濮), who lived in the Lancang river valley during ancient times. It is believed that these people were one branch of a number of peoples that were collectively known to the ancient Chinese as the Bǎipú (百濮, literally Hundred Pu). Culture Traditionally, the Blang considered teeth blackened by chewing betel nuts a beauty characteristic. The women usually dress in jackets with black skirts. The men had tattoos in the torso and the stomach. They dressed in wide black trousers and jackets buttoned to the front. Often, they would wear turbans of either white or black fabric. The houses of the Blang are made out of bamboo and usually consist of two floors. The first floor is designed as a warehouse for food and a stable for livestock animals, such as chickens, whereas the second is designed to house the family. The chimney is located in the center of the house. The Blang are traditionally divided into small clans, with each clan owning its own land. Every Blang town has its own cemeteries, which are divided by clans. The deceased are buried, with the exception of those who perished due to unnatural causes. In this case, they are cremated. Bulang are among the earliest known cultivators of tea, with natural tea forest canopy home to unique species & ecosystems as opposed to monoculture fertilizer & pesticide-consuming tea plantations. Religion The Blang are traditionally associated with animism, ancestor worship, and Theravada Buddhism. Writing in 2011, James Miller described these overlapping traditions as follows: A Christian missionary source describes them as "ardent followers of Theravada Buddhism", and offers as an estimate that 80% of the Bulang are "professing Buddhists", with a lower estimate of 35% being "practicing Buddhists".

John Seddon (1719–1769) was an English Unitarian minister. Life The son of Peter Seddon (1689–1731), dissenting minister at Penrith, Cumberland (1717–19), and Cockey Moor in the parish of Middleton, Lancashire (1719–31), he was born in 1719 at Lomax Fold, Little Lever, in the parish of Bolton, Lancashire. On his father's death, Seddon's education was undertaken by the congregation of Cross Street, Manchester. He was at Stand Grammar School under William Walker; then at the Kendal Academy (entered 1733) under Caleb Rotheram; and at Glasgow University from 1739, where he was a pupil of Francis Hutcheson. He is said to have graduated M.A., but of this there is no record. On leaving Glasgow, he became assistant at Cross Street to Joseph Mottershead, and was ordained on 22 October 1742. He was a preacher of facility and power, and pursued an independent line in theology. Joseph Priestley, when at Warrington (1761–8), speaks of Seddon as "the only Socinian in the neighbourhood". Seddon embodied his views in a series of six sermons, of which the first was preached on 27 May 1761. A contemporary account describes the excitement produced by his utterances; his outspokenness won for him increased respect, though he made few converts. The sermons were not published till 1793; but they anticipated the historical argument of Priestley. Seddon lived on good terms with neighbouring clergy, especially with John Clayton, the Jacobite. After a long illness, Seddon died on 22 November 1769, and was buried in Cross Street Chapel. He married, in 1743, Mottershead's eldest daughter, Elizabeth (died 1765), and left a son, Mottershead Seddon. His library was sold on 26 February 1770. Works He edited, with preface, The Sovereignty of the Divine Administration, &c., 1766, by Thomas Dixon (1721–1754). His Discourses on the Person of Christ, Warrington, 1793, were edited with An Account of the Author, by Ralph Harrison, at the suggestion of Joshua Toulmin.

The Plattsburgh Pioneers were a junior ice hockey team, based in Plattsburgh, New York, who played just 17 games in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League during the 1984–85 QMJHL season. History The Pioneers were the QMJHL's first expansion into the United States. However, the league refused to hold an expansion draft to stock the team, giving the Pioneers a distinct disadvantage. Eventually, the team sported an all-American lineup of players, most of them not even good enough to play for college teams, let alone high-level junior hockey. Plattsburgh's first game was played on September 15, 1984 at the Ronald B. Stafford Ice Arena against the Hull Olympiques, in front of 1,500 fans. Despite having only 17 players on their roster, and a second-period brawl that saw several players ejected (including Hull's Luc Robitaille, a future Hall of Famer), Plattsburgh managed a 6-6 tie after regulation. The Olympiques' Joe Foglietta would notch the winner in overtime, however, so the Pioneers settled for one point in the standings. It was the only one they would ever get. The Pioneers' season quickly turned into a disaster. Coach Yves Beaudry decided he'd seen enough after the first game and quit; Denis Methot (the team's owner and general manager) took the reins and saw Plattsburgh take a 13-0 pounding in their very first road game, at Laval. Defense was the Pioneers' biggest problem, as they allowed double-digit goals in nine contests, including a 17-1 loss at Granby -- the team with the second-worst record in the QMJHL. The shell-shocked goaltenders, Joel Kiers and Frank Currie, faced 802 shots in 17 games, or nearly 50 per contest; they allowed 185 goals, or 10.88 per game. The offense was poor, as well; they notched just 56 goals, last in the league, with Louis Finocchiaro scoring 13 of them. John Torchetti played eight games for Plattsburgh before turning pro with the Carolina Thunderbirds of the ACHL; he played several seasons in the minors before switching to coaching, and later piloted the NHL's Florida Panthers and Los Angeles Kings. Probably the best player the Pioneers held the rights to was Max Middendorf, who wisely played in the Ontario Hockey League instead. He was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques in 1985 and played parts of four seasons in the NHL, later becoming a linesman. The last few home games were moved to the much smaller Crete Civic Center, to save on rent, but the tiny crowds were insufficient to make the $2,000 monthly payment. On October 27, Plattsburgh drew 800 fans, their second-largest crowd of the season -- but the game was cancelled after the ice compressor broke down, and the meager ticket money was refunded. Finally, two days later, the Pioneers folded, just six weeks into the season, with a 0-16-0-1 record; an attempt to move the franchise to Massena, New York was nixed by the QMJHL, who announced that games played against Plattsburgh would not be counted in the league standings or statistics. As of 2019, the Pioneers remain the only New York team ever to play in the QMJHL; the Quebec-based league would not attempt American expansion again until 2003, when the Lewiston Maineiacs joined the loop.

Glengarriff Forest is an area of woodland near Glengarriff, West Cork, Ireland. Most of the woodland is a nature reserve in public ownership which is sometimes referred to as Glengarriff "forest park" or "state forest". Glengarriff Forest is one of the best examples in the country of oceanic sessile oak woodland. It is part of the much larger Glengarriff Harbour & Woodlands Special Area of Conservation (SAC). History In the eighteenth century the woods were acquired by the White family for whom the title Earl of Bantry was created. The Earls of Bantry were responsible for planting some of the trees which are alive in the twenty-first century. In 1955, ownership of 380ha of the woods passed to the state which used them for commercial forestry purposes. Extensive planting of conifers occurred, and many of the oldest oak trees were felled or ring-barked. In the 1970s, the ecological value of the remaining areas of oak was recognised and in 1991 a Nature Reserve was designated. Glengarriff Woods Nature Reserve covers some 300ha and is managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service for conservation and amenity. Some conifers have been replaced with oak trees. Flora and fauna Sika deer have been recorded, but regeneration of the forest suffers less from grazing than the similar woods at Killarney where there is a larger deer population. The mild climate favours Hiberno-Lusitanian species, such as the Kerry slug, which are to be found in south-west Ireland and the Iberian peninsula. The Kerry slug thrives in the forest's oak trees, and is a "selection feature" of the Special Area of Conservation. Another example of a Lusitanian species to be found in the forest is the Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo).

Jablonec nad Jizerou () is a town in Semily District in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,700 inhabitants. Administrative parts Villages of Blansko, Bratrouchov, Buřany, Dolní Dušnice, Dolní Tříč, Horní Dušnice, Hradsko, Končiny, Stromkovice and Vojtěšice are administrative parts of Jablonec nad Jizerou. Etymology The name Jablonec was probably derived from the Old Czech word jabloncje ("little apple tree"), which was a common tree in the location. Due to its location, there is one more possible explanation of the name origin, it could originate from the Latin gabella, meaning "the customs station". In 1916 or 1921, the attribute nad Jizerou ("above the Jizera") was added to distinguish from the city of Jablonec nad Nisou. Geography Jablonec nad Jizerou is located about northeast of Semily and east of Liberec. It lies on the Jizera River. The municipal territory lies in the Giant Mountains Foothills and extends into the Giant Mountains in the east. The highest point is the mountain Preislerův kopec at above sea level. History The first written mention of Jablonec is from 1492. Until the Thirty Years' War, Jablonec was a small non-agricultural village of thirteen houses, but the significance of the village indicates the existence of the parish church. The Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) had a catastrophic impact on Jablonec – only four houses remained. It took hundred years before Jablonec recovered from the war. An already medieval built-up area, which is probably to be found in the vicinity of the Church of Saint Procopius (originally wooden, from bricks since 1777 thanks to the support of Ernst Adalbert of Harrach) had more diffusive character, also the area from the second half of the 18th century was almost out of order on the slope of the valley. The only organizational factors were contour lines and parcels of land, a completely non-agricultural dwelling were chaotically centered on the link between the church and the mill. Thanks to the large reconstruction of the market town connected with the construction of the railway (1899) and the textile factories along the Jizera, Jablonec nad Jizerou gained the character of a modern mountainous town. In the second half of the 19th century, Jablonec grew rapidly, and in 1896, Jablonec was promoted to a market town by Emperor Franz Joseph I. At this time Jablonec was also given the new coat of arms. In 1971, Jablonec nad Jizerou was promoted to a town. Today among the new buildings from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and from the interwar period are sporadically preserved timbered houses. Demographics Sport In Jablonec nad Jizerou is the Ski Resort Kamenec with of downhill slopes and two ski lifts. It is located on a hill at above sea level. Sights The most important monument is the Janata's Mill in Buřany. It is a timbered watermill from 1767 with preserved and still functional equipment. Its current appearance is the result of building modifications from the 19th century. It is protected as a national cultural monument. The landmark of Jablonec nad Jizerou is the Church of Saint Procopius. It was built in the Baroque style in 1777.

Joseph Thomas (Joe) Threston (born ) is an American Navy systems engineer, known for his contributions to the development of the Aegis Combat System. Threston started his career in 1959 at Hughes Aircraft Company in the Guided Missile Laboratory, as entry-level engineer he participated in the further development and production of the Falcon Missile system, that the United States Air Force used since 1956. In the 1960s he joined RCA Corporation, where he made significant contributions to the development of the Aegis Combat System. After RCA was acquired by General Electric in 1986 Threston became General Manager of the Naval Systems Department. His department was part of GE Aerospace businesses, which was sold to Martin Marietta in 1992, and became part of Lockheed Martin in 1995. From General manager and president of manufacturing Threston became company president. Threston received several awards and honors. In 1991 he received the Harold E. Saunders Award from the American Society of Naval Engineers; and in 1995 he received the IEEE Simon Ramo Medal for his "leadership of the design, development and production of the AEGIS ship combat system."

Immersive design (Experimental Design) describes design work which ranges in levels of interaction and leads users to be fully absorbed in an experience. This form of design involves the use of VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented reality), and MR (Mixed Reality) that creates the illusion that the user is physically interacting with a realistic digital atmosphere. Overview Alex McDowell coined the phrase 'immersive design' in 2007 in order to frame a discussion around a design discipline that addresses story-based media within the context of digital and virtual technologies. Together McDowell and museum director Chris Scoates co-directed 5D \| The Future of Immersive Design conference in Long Beach 2008, laying some groundwork for immersive design to be a distinct design philosophy. 5D has become a forum and community representing a broad range of cross-media designers with its intent based in education, cross-pollination and the development of an expanding knowledge base. In recent years, immersive design has been promoted as a design philosophy where it has been appropriated for the purposes of describing design for narrative media and the process of Worldbuilding. With immersive design being applied to a variety of topics and discussions, there is great benefit to how immersive design can benefit the future of technology. Topics and discussions include, mental health and personal medicine, gaming, journalism, and education. Although immersive design is still maturing, it has served a great benefit to these fields, providing a unique learning experience for those involved.

Lt.-Col. Thomas Peers Williams (27 March 1795 – 8 September 1875) was MP for Great Marlow from 1820 to 1868. He was Father of the House of Commons from December 1867 to 1868. Early life Williams was the son of Owen Williams (1764–1832), MP for Great Marlow, and the former Margaret Hughes (d. 1821), a member of the Hughes family which owned a large interest in the Parys Mountain copper mine. Three of his sister were married to members of the House of Lords, two others to sons of lords. His grandfather Thomas Williams was a prominent attorney and active in the copper industry. His great-grandfather was Owen Williams of Cefn Coch, Llansadwrn, who owned also Tregarnedd and Treffos. Williams' grandfather was retained by the Hughes and Lewis families to act for their in very acrimonious litigation with Sir Nicholas Bayly (father of the earl of Uxbridge) in relation to the Parys Mountain copper mine. When the litigation ended in 1778, Williams' grandfather became an active partner in the mine. Williams matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford in 1813. Career In 1820, he became an MP for the constituency of Great Marlow (usually known as Marlow). The seat had been held by his grandfather from 1790 until his death in 1802 when his own father took up the seat, serving until his death in 1832. Williams retired in 1868 after serving 48 years. In the last year, he was Father of the House of Commons from December 1867, succeeding Henry Cecil Lowther who had entered the House in 1812 and retired as MP in 1867. His eldest son, Owen Lewis Cope Williams, also served as MP for Great Marlow 1880 from 1885, the fourth generation of his family to hold the Great Marlow seat with intervals, from 1790 until 1885, nearly a hundred years.

Martin Hansen (born 15 June 1990) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for OB. Career Liverpool Hansen moved from Brøndby to Liverpool in 2006, where he made his Liverpool Academy debut against Chelsea's academy, in a 2–0 win on 16 January 2007. Hansen was the member of the Liverpool Under 18s who won the FA Youth Cup in 2007, even though he missed the second leg of the FA Youth Cup Final with a broken finger. Following this, Hansen was promoted to the reserve. Hansen signed his first professional with the club in July 2007, signing a two-year deal. After spending a number of years in Liverpool's reserves, Hansen signed a one-month loan contract with Bradford City on 27 July 2011. He made his senior debut on 6 August 2011. On 21 August, it was announced that Hansen would return to Liverpool at the end of the month-long deal, after the two clubs failed to agree to an extension. During that time he played in all 4 of Bradford City's league games. Career in Denmark Hansen moved back to Denmark on 31 January 2012, signing for Viborg FF. It took until on 5 April 2012 for Hansen to make his Viborg FF debut, in a 2–2 draw against Akademisk BK. Hansen's brilliant display in recent games led Manager Søren Frederiksen commenting on his performance that he's one of the best goalkeeper to play in the Danish 1st Division. Even opposition managers praised Hansen's performance. In the second half of the season, Hansen made eleven appearances for the club. His full second season at Viborg FF saw him make 32 out of 33 appearances and helping the club get promoted to the top division despite suffering a back injury in the winter. It was announced in late-December 2012 that Hansen intended not to renew his contract at Viborg FF. Despite linked with a move to France it was announced in May 2013, it was confirmed that he would join FC Nordsjælland on a three-year contract, keeping him until 2016. After being on the bench in the opening game of the season, Hansen made his Nordsjælland debut on 26 July 2013, in a 1–1 draw against his former club, Viborg FF. Hansen also played in the Champions League qualification against Zenit Saint Petersburg but they proved to be too strong and failed to win either legs losing 1–0 and 5–0 respectively. During the season, Hansen find himself fight over a first choice goalkeeper with Jesper Hansen (who later left for Evian Thonon Gaillard), Jannich Storch, Thomas Villadsen and David Jensen. Following this, Manager Kasper Hjulmand reassured that Hansen shall be the club's first choice goalkeeper. Hansen continued to be the first choice goalkeeper for the club by the end of the first half of the season, but was dropped in favour of Jensen, who was used for the rest of the season. Hansen went on to make fifteen appearances for the club in his first season. Hansen caused controversy after calling the club's personal trainer Mathias Zangenberg a 'monkey', for which he later apologised. After one season, the club's chairman announced his intention to sell Hansen. ADO Den Haag In early June, Hansen was linked with a move abroad, most likely in Netherlands. The club was looking for a new goalkeeper following Gino Coutinho's departure. On 11 July 2014, it was announced that Hansen had signed a two-year deal with Dutch Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag. Hansen made his ADO Den Haag in the opening game of the season, in a 1–0 loss against Feyenoord. Hansen continued to be in the first choice goalkeeper by the first half of the season until he suffered a hand injury that saw him miss one match.

He later explained his actions on his Twitter account. On 24 April 2015, against Vitesse Arnhem, Hansen provided an assist for Michiel Kramer, which turned out to be a winning goal. However, Hansen was dropped to the bench ahead of the match against Willem II after making remarks about the captain Roland Alberg. Hansen made his first team return in the last game of the season against PSV Eindhoven, which they lost 3–2. When the season ended, the club hoped to keep Hansen on a longer term. On 11 August 2015, Hansen scored his first ever professional goal, to earn his team a last-minute draw against PSV. As a result, Hansen was named Voetbal International's Player of the Week. On 17 June 2016, he was awarded ADO Den Haag's Goal of the Season Award for the strike. FC Ingolstadt On 18 June 2016, Hansen joined Bundesliga side FC Ingolstadt 04 on a four-year-deal.

The Battle of Velikiye Luki, also named Velikiye Luki offensive operation (), started with the attack by the forces of the Red Army's Kalinin Front against the Wehrmacht's 3rd Panzer Army during the Winter Campaign of 1942–1943 with the objective of liberating the Russian city of Velikiye Luki as a previous part of the northern pincer of the Rzhev-Sychevka Strategic Offensive Operation (Operation Mars). Sometimes known as "The Little Stalingrad of the North", the Soviet forces encircled the city on 27 November 1942, but were unable to make much progress against German units further west nor retake a key railway to Leningrad. The German garrison in the city was ordered to hold out for a relief force and put up a concerted defense. As was the case at Stalingrad, repeated German counterattacks were unable to reach the city, and the garrison surrendered on 16 January 1943. Background As part of Operation Barbarossa, the German army took Velikiye Luki on 19 July 1941, but was forced to retreat the next day due to Soviet counter-attacks breaking the line of communications in multiple places. A new attack was launched in late August, and the city was recaptured on Aug. 26. The city had great strategic value due to the main north-south railway line running just west of the city at Novosokolniki, as well as the city's own rail network to Vitebsk and bridges over the Lovat River. After its capture and with the German offensive running out of steam for the winter, the area was fortified. Marshy terrain extended to Lake Peipus from just north of the city defended by the German 16th Field Army, making operations in the region around the city difficult for both sides. Rather than maintaining a solid "front" in the area, the Germans established a series of thinly held outposts to the north and south of the city. Soviet counterattacks during the Winter Campaign of 1941–1942, especially the Battles of Rzhev just to the south, formed a large salient in the German lines. Velikiye Luki lay just on the western edge of the original advance, and was just as strategic for the Soviets as the Germans. The city dominated the region and would therefore be the natural point for fighting, offering the possibility of eliminating the German bridges on the Lovat, and to deny the Germans use of the rail line that provided communications between Army groups North and Centre. Furthermore, as long as the German Army occupied both rail junctions at Velikiye Luki and Rzhev, the Red Army could not reliably reinforce or resupply its troops on the north face of the massive Rzhev Salient. Because of its strategic significance, the Germans heavily fortified the city over the course of 1942. The Soviets often raided into German-held territory around the town and the town could only be kept supplied by armoured trains. Soviet offensive The Soviet offensive to retake the city was developed in mid-November 1942 using troops from the 3rd and 4th Shock armies, and 3rd Air Army. The city itself was defended by the 83rd Infantry Division commanded by Lieutenant General Theodor Scherer, the lines to the south held by the 3rd Mountain Division, and the front to the north held by the 5th Mountain Division. The city itself was provided with extensively prepared defenses and garrisoned by a full regiment of the 83rd Division and other troops, totaling around 7,000. Encirclement of German forces Rather than attacking the town directly, the Soviet forces advanced into the difficult terrain to the north and south of the town. Spearheaded by the 9th and 46th Guards and 357th Rifle Divisions of 5th Guards Rifle Corps to the south and the 381st Rifle Division to the north, the operation commenced on 24 November. Despite heavy losses, they successfully cut the land links to the city by 27 November, trapping the garrison; by the next day they threatened to cut off other elements of the corps south of the city when the front commander released his 2nd Mechanised Corps into the breach created between the 3rd Mountain and 83rd Infantry Divisions. Army Group Centre's commander asked the OKH for permission to conduct a breakout operation while the situation was still relatively fluid by pulling the German lines back by around ten miles (16 km). The request was dismissed by Hitler, who, pointing to an earlier success in a similar situation at Kholm, demanded that the encircled formations stand fast while the Gruppe "Chevallerie" from the north and 20th Motorised Division from the south counter-attacked to open the encirclement. German relief attempts The garrison were ordered to hold the city at all costs, while a relief force was assembled. The remainder of the 83rd Infantry and 3rd Mountain Divisions, encircled south of Velikiye Luki, fought their way west to meet the relieving troops. Due to Army Group Centre's commitments at Rzhev, the only resources immediately available to man the lines opposite Velikiye Luki were those already in the area, which were organised as Gruppe Wöhler (291st Infantry Division). Later, other divisions were made available, including the understrength 8th Panzer Division from Gruppe Chevallerie, the 20th Motorized Infantry Division from Army Group Centre reserve, and the weak 6th Luftwaffe Field Division, and the hurriedly rushed to the front 707th and 708th Security, and 205th and 331st Infantry divisions although there was a corresponding build-up of Soviet strength. Throughout December, the garrison – which maintained radio contact with the relief forces – held out against repeated Soviet attempts to reduce their lines, and in particular the rail depot in the city's southern suburb. The Soviet forces, attacking strongly entrenched troops in severe winter weather, suffered extremely high casualties, while conditions in the city steadily deteriorated despite airdrops of supplies, ammunition and equipment. In the meantime, Soviet attempts to take their main objective, the rail lines at Novosokolniki, had been frustrated by the counter-attacks of the relief force. An attempt by the Germans to reach Velikiye Luki in late December ran into stubborn Soviet defence and halted, heavily damaged. Operation Totila, the next attempt to break through to Velikiye Luki, was launched on 4 January. The two German spearheads advanced to within five miles (8 km) of the city, but stalled due to pressure on their flanks. On 5 January, a Soviet attack from the north split Velikiye Luki in two, isolating a small group of troops in the fortified "citadel" in the west of the city, while the bulk of the garrison retained a sector centred around the rail station in the south of the city. The former group broke out on during the night of the 14th; around 150 men eventually reached German lines. The German garrison surrendered on 16 January. Aftermath After the war, the Soviet authorities collected a representative set of Germans of various ranks from general to private who had fought at Velikiye Luki from prisoner-of-war camps and brought them to the city. A military tribunal held a public trial and convicted them for war crimes related to anti-partisan warfare. Nine were sentenced to death and publicly hanged in the main square of Velikiye Luki in January 1946. The battle is sometimes called "The Little Stalingrad of the North" due to its similarities with the larger and better-known Battle of Stalingrad that raged in the southern sector of the front. Judged purely by the numbers, this battle was a small affair by the usual standards of the Eastern Front (150,000 total casualties suffered by both sides as opposed to 2,000,000 total casualties at Stalingrad), but had enormous strategic consequences. The liberation of Velikiye Luki meant the Red Army had, for the first time since October 1941, a direct rail supply line to the northern face of the Rzhev Salient exposing the German troops at Rzhev to encirclement. Events at Velikiye Luki thus necessitated the withdrawal from Rzhev salient ending any German military threat to Moscow. However, even after withdrawing from Rzhev, possession of Velikiye Luki meant that the rail link between Army groups North and Centre was severed, preventing the German Army from shifting reinforcements between threatened sectors. Furthermore, the rail lines from Velikiye Luki led directly into the rear of Vitebsk, a critical logistics hub for Army Group Centre. The effects of this battle meant that Army Group Centre was exposed to attack from the north, east, and (after the Battle of Smolensk) south, exposing the whole army group to encirclement, which is exactly what happened in the Operation Bagration the following year. Orders of battle While it is somewhat difficult to separate the actions of various Red Army and Wehrmacht units within the flurry of movements involved in the larger scope of the Soviet operations, for the most part these below are derived from Glantz and Isayev.

WKDQ (99.5 FM) is a country music formatted radio station in Henderson, Kentucky radio market, broadcasting to Evansville, Indiana. The owner is Townsquare Media. History Begun by Hecht Lackey, owner of WSON (860 AM), the station received the call-letters WSON-FM when it signed on the air in 1947, and most of the FM station's programming in the early years was simulcast from the AM station. In 1971, the FM station switched to a rock format, and the call letters were changed to WKDQ. By the early 1980s, its rock formula was dropped for CHR. In September 1986, WKDQ dropped Top 40 and switched to an adult contemporary format (which sometimes the station also includes an oldies hybrid a few years later), and was known on-air as "KQ99." While it did reasonably well, management saw more significant opportunities in challenging "WYNG 105" (now WJLT, 105.3 FM) and WBKR (92.5 FM). So in late 1992, WKDQ flipped to country. The station instantly became a success, surpassing WYNG and WBKR in ratings. Eventually, WYNG's country format was completely eliminated and eventually those call letters moved to 94.9 FM in Mt. Carmel, Illinois. WKDQ is currently the highest rated country station in the Evansville market and a close second to WIKY (104.1 FM) among all stations in the market. Other facts During severe weather situations, the audio of ABC television affiliate WEHT News25's weather coverage is aired on WKDQ until the severe weather has moved out of the listening area.

Contagion (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the album consisting of original score composed by Cliff Martinez for the 2011 film Contagion, directed by Steven Soderbergh. The film marked Martinez and Soderbergh reuniting for the first time after nine years, since Solaris (2002). The score consists of orchestral elements which were incorporated, and being fused with the predominantly electronic sounds of the score. Several pieces of the score had been written with the influences of temp music used by Soderbergh in the edits. The score consisting of 20 tracks was released by WaterTower Music on September 6, 2011, while the vinyl edition was released on October 20, 2017 by Real Gone Music. Development Soderbergh recruited his former collaborator and composer Cliff Martinez to score music for Contagion. Given that the pacing of the music was one of Soderbergh's biggest concerns, Martinez had to maintain a brisk pace throughout the soundtrack, while also conveying fear and hope within the music, admitting that: "I tried to create the sound of anxiety. And at key, strategic moments I tried to use the music to conjure up the sense of tragedy and loss. And lastly, the music helped to create a more hopeful tone as dark clouds begin to lift in the final act." As with several Soderbergh's ventures, he used a temp music in some of the rough cuts of his films, with Martinez admitting that it "gives a lot of information about the placement, style, harmonic language". For Contagion, Martinez received a rough cut of the film in October 2010 with music from The French Connection (1971) and Marathon Man (1976), which he loved it as they were "pretty dissonant, scary orchestral cues" and wrote few pieces referencing those styles. Martinez used older composition techniques such as twelve-tone technique for writing those pieces. Few months later, Martinez received a temp music influenced by German electronic group Tangerine Dream, and wrote few pieces using analog synthesizers as it sounded "cold and scientific" that complimented the story. In the final versions, Soderbergh changed the edit with contemporary film music that "emphasized rhythm and energy". He combined those three approaches and written a score influencing it, as each had its merits, and felt that "combining them would not only be effective but would give the score a style all its own". The piece "Get Off the Bus" was first written for the film, whose genesis came from his very first email communication with Soderbergh who told him as Contagion being a "horror film", he urged him to check out the "dissonant" opening for The Battle of Algiers scored by Ennio Morricone; Martinez called it as "a musical assault, as like someone thrusting some extremely pungent and stinky but delicious cheese in your face" and admitted that he would compose the score in a dissonant and screeching way for the film entirely, if he was approved to do so. Martinez, backtracked the decision as he did not receive a considerable feedback from the director. Track listing Reception Filmtracks.com wrote "Contagion is an extremely simplistic score with few highlights. It almost sounds as though Martinez is trying to accomplish for the 2000s what David Shire did for thrillers in the 1970s, but with only a fraction of the intelligence in the result. There is absolutely zero narrative flow to Contagion, defying any logical notion that the score begin tonally and disintegrate as panic ensues. It's simply bland from start to finish and adds nothing but basic background noise to the concept. Those who found some merit in Martinez's prior two scores of 2011 may be able to zone out to this music, though there are moments of intolerable noise to punctuate scenes of fright. The buzzing alarm clock sound effect that occupies the entirety of "Placebo" has to be among the most insufferable noises in recent film score history. Martinez is proving himself to be a one-trick pony, a reliable composer for atmospheric dissonance of a contemporary tone, but one whose music is increasing obnoxious in its inability to mature and adapt." Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian complimented Martinez's score as "pulsing, driving". Bogdan Fedeles of The Tech wrote "Soderbergh brings in his long time collaborator Cliff Martinez to pen an exquisite score — a perfect coagulant for the ever-branching plot lines. The music, an original blend of techno-rave with elements of electronic and spectral music, is more reminiscent of computer games than blockbuster movies, yet it is an uncanny fit for Contagion." Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter mentioned that Martinez's "score hums along very helpfully and without cliches". Beth Accomando of KPBS felt that Martinez's score "sets the tense mood but never serves up cheap emotional punctuation". praised Martinez's work, saying "propulsive electronic score is reminiscent of the recent work of another former rocker, Trent Reznor, and is almost as forceful".

Bagienice () is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Mrągowo, within Mrągowo County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It lies approximately south-west of Mrągowo and east of the regional capital Olsztyn. As a result of the Treaty of Versailles the 1920 East Prussian plebiscite was organized on 11 July 1920 under the control of the League of nations, which resulted in 100 votes to remain in Germany and none for Poland. Thus the village remained part of Germany until 1945. References Bagienice
The Bastable Theatre was a theatre in Syracuse, New York, from 1893 to 1923, when it burnt down. First built by Frederick Bastable, Sam S. Shubert began his theatre management at the Bastable in 1897. He and his brothers established The Shubert Organization, which became a major theatre owner. During Shubert's early years of management, he competed with the city's Wieting Opera House, which was controlled by The Theatrical Syndicate. The Bastable itself hosted a number of touring companies in the city and became known for hosting stock companies and melodramas. The State Tower Building was constructed on the site of the theatre after it burnt down. Description The Bastable Block was six stories and had offices in addition to the theatre. The theatre itself had two balconies and four boxes (two on each side). History The area where the theatre was constructed was occupied by the Bastable block, which had been standing since at least 1852. The block was four stories tall and housed the Shakespeare Hall and arcade. It burnt down on November 20, 1891. The Bastable Theatre was built by Frederick Bastable in 1893, at a reported cost of $50,000. Archimedes Russell designed the building. It incorporated portions of the walls from the old block that were still standing. In competition with the established Wieting Opera House and Grand Opera House it opened on October 10 that year, with Frank D. Hennessay as its manager. The first show was Beau Brummell starring Richard Mansfield. It was generally unprofitable for the first four years. The theatre had an early success showing the 1897 film The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight, on two occasions that year: the first shortly after March, and the second in October. Sam S. Shubert took over management on December 14, 1897. Competing with the Wieting, Shubert initially booked "an old-fashioned stock company in old-fashioned plays at old-fashioned prices." The following year, he diversified the theatre, a move coupled with renovation, and exclusively booked touring shows. The Wieting, controlled by The Theatrical Syndicate, had a virtual monopoly on the biggest names and shows, so Shubert focused on booking a variety of sensational shows and comedies. He began the season with a performance of A Stranger in New York by Charles H. Hoyt. Shubert showed films by the American Biograph Company to great success beginning in January 1898. The theatre was finally successful and profitable, and the Shubert family began leasing both the Bastable and Grand Opera House in the city. They quickly expanded across New York state. The Shuberts created The Shubert Organization, which became a major theatre owner. The Bastable grew to be known for hosting stock companies and melodramas. In 1902 Hurtig & Seamon became managers. By 1908 they were succeeded by Syracuse's General Amusement Company. 1923 fire On February 12, 1923, the Bastable Theatre caught fire and burnt down. At the time, it had about 150 tenants. The fire was noted around 5:30 pm, but the top of the building was engulfed in flame before effective firefighting could begin. They focused their efforts on rescuing people. The fire resulted in three deaths and $1.5 million damages. Several other buildings caught fire, and the Bastable block was virtually completely razed. Syracuse revised its fire response policies in the fire's aftermath. Several months after burning down, the owner of the block announced construction of a new office building on the lot. It became the State Tower Building, Syracuse's tallest building. References Bibliography Theatres in New York (state) Theatres completed in 1893 Burned theatres 1923 fires in the United States

Pryce Lewis (February 13, 1831 – December 6, 1911) was an operative of the Pinkerton Detective Agency and Union spy during the American Civil War. His activities in Charleston, Virginia and the surrounding area heavily assisted the Union Army during the early years of the war. Lewis was later captured and played a part in the trial and execution of fellow agent Timothy Webster. Early life Lewis was born in 1831 to a family of wool weavers living in Newtown, Wales. As a young man, Lewis had no interest in inheriting the family trade, and in May 1856 emigrated to the United States in search of a new life. After arriving in America, Lewis got a job as a traveling salesman for the London Printing and Publishing Company which he held for nearly two years until quitting it and moving to Chicago in the spring of 1859. After working there for almost a year as a grocery store clerk, Lewis grew restless again and began to make plans to head west as part of the Pike's Peak Gold Rush. A day before he was scheduled to leave Chicago, Lewis encountered an old friend of his who persuaded him to abandon his attempt at prospecting and instead apply for a position with Allan Pinkerton's growing detective agency. This friend arranged an interview with one of Pinkerton's employees, and Lewis began working for the organization in the spring of 1860. Pre-war work with the Pinkerton agency After a brief period of training, Pinkerton assigned Lewis to several surveillance jobs throughout the northeastern United States, and in late 1860 invited him to assist in a more in-depth case in New York. The two men bonded over their shared European background and abolitionist sympathies, and in 1861 Pinkerton thought highly enough of Lewis to entrust him with investigating a murder in Jackson, Tennessee. The chief suspect was a respected citizen of the town, and Pinkerton instructed Lewis to travel to Jackson disguised as a "gentleman of leisure" and gain the suspect's trust to secure information that might assist in building a case against him. Lewis remained in Jackson for five months, cultivating the appearance of an "English gentleman" which allowed him to earn the trust of secessionist locals who were more willing to talk to a foreigner than a suspected "Yankee." After several meetings with the chief suspect, Lewis determined that he was not guilty of the murder, discovering instead that a local horse thief had killed the victim. Lewis left the city on June 9, a day after the state of Tennessee voted to become the eleventh state to secede officially from the Union. Lewis made observations of the strength and number of Confederate troops he encountered during his return trip to Chicago, which he relayed to Pinkerton after relocating to the agency's new headquarters in Cincinnati. Mission to Charleston, West Virginia During Lewis' stay in Jackson, Pinkerton had begun gathering intelligence for General George McClellan of the Union Army. Upon his return to Cincinnati, Lewis was assigned to investigate the location and strength of rebel forces in Charleston, Virginia and the surrounding Kanawha Valley area. Lewis would reprise his role as an English noble touring the countryside, accompanied on his journey by Sam Bridgeman, a fellow Pinkerton operative who would pose as his manservant and carriage driver. The two agents set off from Cincinnati on June 27, 1861, traveling in a carriage well-stocked with food, expensive liquor, and a British Army chest strapped prominently to the exterior. After a steamboat trip down the Ohio River and several days' journey along the James River and Kanawha Turnpike, Lewis and Bridgeman were stopped by Confederate soldiers under the command of Colonel George Patton. Lewis was taken to see the colonel at his camp in a nearby farmhouse. Patton received Lewis warmly after hearing his cover story and gave him a full tour of the encampment as well as a pass that would let Lewis continue to Charleston. After dinner and a night of champagne and cigars at the farmhouse, Lewis resumed his journey along the turnpike and arrived in Charleston on June 30. Upon their arrival, Lewis and Bridgeman checked into the Kanawha House Hotel, the headquarters of General Henry Wise, commander of the Confederate forces in the region. Lewis approached Wise in the hope of receiving another pass that would allow the pair to leave Charleston if necessary, but the general refused, and Lewis was forced to write to George Moore, the British consul in Richmond, for permission to travel further. While he waited for Moore's response, Lewis continued to observe rebel movements in and around Charleston, including details of Wise's camp and fortifications at Twomile Creek. On July 10, Wise was called away from Charleston in response to a Union advance near Parkersburg, leaving Colonel Christopher Tompkins in command. Lewis, who had become anxious to depart the city after several incidents in which a drunken Bridgeman confronted Confederate officers, asked the colonel for a travel pass in Wise's absence. Tompkins was not authorized to issue such documents, but he assured Lewis that mentioning the colonel's name would be enough to satisfy most Confederate troops. Lewis and Bridgeman left Charleston on July 12, 1861, and were able to make it back into Union territory after being stopped only once in the village of Logan Court House, Kentucky. After returning to Cincinnati, Lewis relayed his information to General Jacob Cox. Acting on Lewis' knowledge of the quality of Wise's troops, Cox was able to overwhelm the rebel fortifications and capture Charleston on July 24. Counterespionage in Washington DC After their return from Charleston, Lewis and Bridgeman spent some time investigating secessionist activity in Baltimore, before being called to Washington DC to rendezvous with the recently relocated Pinkerton. Pinkerton had been forming a case against Confederate spy and local socialite Rose Greenhow, and on August 23, 1861, he raided Greenhow's house in the company of Lewis and several other agents. Lewis was responsible for keeping an eye on Greenhow during the search and at one point she attempted to threaten the detective with an uncocked revolver. After the discovery of multiple sources of incriminating information at her residence, Greenhow was put under house arrest, with Lewis remaining at the house as one of her guards. The day after Greenhow's arrest, Pinkerton agents detained the family of U.S. Representative Phillip Phillips on similar spying charges, and the women of the family, including Phillips' wife Eugenia, were relocated to the Greenhow residence and put under Lewis' guard for the remaining weeks Pinkerton had him stationed there. Following the Greenhow incident, Lewis investigated other suspected rebel sympathizers in Washington including Elizabeth Morton, the wife of Florida Senator Jackson Morton. Capture In February 1862, Pinkerton ordered Lewis to travel to Richmond, Virginia, to investigate the status of Timothy Webster and Hattie Lawton, two of Pinkerton's top agents who had ceased communication with the agency. Lewis raised serious objections to the mission, fearing that the number of deported Confederate sympathizers in the city that knew him to be a federal agent would pose a risk to his cover. Pinkerton assured him that the Morton and Phillips families would not be in Richmond during his time there, and Lewis ultimately agreed to the plan, mostly due to his respect and concern for Webster. Pinkerton partnered Lewis with fellow agent and Englishman John Scully for the mission, and the two left the capital on February 18. Lewis and Scully arrived in Richmond on February 26 and were able to locate Webster and Lawton at the couple's room in the Monumental Hotel. Webster had been confined to his bed by an outbreak of rheumatism and was under close surveillance by members of Richmond's secret police, who had begun to suspect his true identity as a Northern double agent. When Lewis and Scully first entered Webster's room, they found him in the company of P.B. Price, one of Webster's Richmond contacts who still supposed him to be a loyal Confederate. Not wanting to blow Webster's cover, the two returned the following afternoon only to find Webster again with a Southern visitor, Captain Samuel McCubbin of the secret police. McCubbin had been dispatched by Provost Marshal General John Winder to observe Webster and was staying in the room directly opposite from his. After greeting Lewis and Scully, McCubbin explained that since they had crossed the Potomac into Confederate territory, both would have to report to Winder's headquarters as soon as possible. During their meeting, Winder gave no indication of his suspicions that Lewis and Scully might also be Northern agents, and let the two leave after only asking a few questions about their opinions of the Confederacy and reasons for traveling to Richmond. However, after returning to Webster's room Lewis and Scully were intercepted by one of Winder's agents and Chase Morton, the son of the Morton family Lewis had investigated in Washington. Morton was able to confirm Lewis' identity, and the officer escorted the two men back to Winder's office where the general revealed that he had suspected Lewis all along and promptly arrested the two men on charges of espionage. Imprisonment Winder's men took Lewis and Scully to Henrico County Jail on February 28, and Scully was transferred to Castle Godwin the following day. Lewis remained at Henrico until he and several other inmates staged an escape attempt on March 16. Due to the jail's light security, the group was able to make it north of the Chickahominy River and almost reached the Northern army's front line before being recaptured by Confederate troops on March 19. Lewis was returned to Richmond and tried by court-martial, after which he joined Scully at Castle Godwin. On April 1, the two were notified that that court-martial had found them both guilty and that they would be hanged in three days. Lewis was able to get a letter explaining their situation to Fredrick Cridland, the British Acting Consul in Richmond, who agreed to speak with the Southern officials in defense of the two British subjects. On April 3, Cridland arranged a meeting with the Confederate secretary of state Judah Benjamin and secretary of war George Randolph in which he argued that the condemned men had been convicted based on insufficient evidence. The secretaries agreed, and on the morning of April 4, hours before he was scheduled to die, Lewis received word that Benjamin had officially postponed his execution to April 12. During the following week, Lewis was pressured by agents of Winder into making a confession that would incriminate Webster, who had been arrested by Winder's men on similar charges several days after Lewis and Scully's capture. Lewis initially refused but eventually gave in after fearing that Scully had already told the interrogators everything. On April 10, two days before his scheduled date of execution, Lewis met with Judge Advocate William Crump and confessed to him the circumstances of his employment to Pinkerton and the reasons for his trip to Richmond. Lewis made no mention of his previous activity in Charleston and Washington, and would later insist he told the Confederates no more than they already knew. Webster was tried on this information, and both Scully and Lewis made statements during the trial, although records of exactly what information they provided did not survive the war. Webster was executed on April 29, and guards returned the prisoners to Castle Godwin with their executions postponed indefinitely. Lewis and Scully remained at Castle Godwin until August 18, 1862, when overcrowding necessitated their relocation to Castle Thunder, a newly built prison under the command of Assistant Provost Marshal Captain George Alexander. After currying favor with the captain and writing several letters to Pinkerton in Washington, Lewis and Scully were able to obtain their release in exchange for Confederate prisoners being held by the Union Army. The two were released on September 28, 1863, and arrived in Washington on September 30. Post-release activity and suicide Lewis met with Pinkerton on October 2, resulting in a furious altercation that put an end to their professional relationship. Lewis blamed Pinkerton for his capture and incarceration and refused to accept responsibility for Webster's execution, saying that Pinkerton's poor judgment was the cause of the entire incident. Pinkerton, who had previously forgiven the agents for their involvement in Webster's capture, accused Lewis of treachery and incompetence. The two men never met face-to-face again. Lewis returned to Washington and worked as a bailiff at Old Capitol Prison until June 1864, when Colonel Lafayette Baker accepted him back into his reorganized military secret service. Lewis worked for Baker until later that year, when he resigned after becoming disillusioned with the organization's corruption. He lived for a time with his brother in Connecticut and returned to Britain in 1865. Lewis returned to America in 1867, and on January 20, 1868, married Maria Thwaites, an acquaintance of the store owner he worked for in Chicago before meeting Pinkerton. In 1871 Maria gave birth to a daughter, Mary, and in 1878 a son, Arthur. The family later moved to New York City, where Lewis had opened up a detective agency of his own. The new organization was highly successful and came into the public eye in 1878 when it was involved in a dispute over the will of Alexander Stewart. During this time Allan Pinkerton had been working to bring attention to the story of Timothy Webster and in 1884 published The Spy of the Rebellion, in which he presented an embellished account of his agency's activities during the war, including Lewis' trip to Charleston. Pinkerton included in his descriptions an entirely fictional incident in which Lewis became romantically involved with the daughter of a Virginia judge, and an unflattering account of Lewis' confession at the hands of rebel authorities. Lewis was outraged by his portrayal in the book and tried to contact Pinkerton with corrections, but the publication permanently damaged his reputation and his business suffered as a result. In 1888 Lewis began work on a memoir entitled Pryce Lewis: his adventures as a union spy during the war of the rebellion. A historical narrative. He hoped that the book would set the record straight, but no publisher was willing to accept his manuscript and Lewis eventually abandoned the project. Maria Lewis died in 1901, and Arthur soon joined her in 1903 after living for only 24 years. Mary had moved out of the house and was working as a pottery teacher, leaving Lewis alone in New York. He made a living doing small jobs for friends and acquaintances but was unable to secure aid from the Bureau of Pensions in Washington on account of his foreign citizenship. On December 6, 1911, Lewis committed suicide by jumping from the observation deck of the New York World Building. He was buried in an unmarked grave at Center Cemetery in Torrington, Connecticut. In 2014, the Connecticut Civil War Round Table took up a collection for a grave marker, which residents erected on June 11, 2014. References Bibliography Kane, Harnett T. (1954).

Greater Sudbury (Ontario, Canada) is considered a city of lakes containing 330 lakes, and the largest lake contained within a city, Lake Wanapitei with 13,257 hectares. The lakes drain into two main watersheds: to the east is the French River watershed which flows into Lake Huron via Georgian Bay, and to the west is the Spanish River watershed which flows into Lake Huron via the North Channel. Lakes are used for many recreational purposes including boating, swimming, and ice skating in winter. Lakes in Greater Sudbury are also home to numerous species of fish, of which many are caught for sport. A survey conducted between 2000 and 2006 in 43 lakes found the following fish species: eastern blacknose dace, blacknose shiner, bluegill, brook stickleback, bluntnose minnow, brown bullhead, burbot, central mudminnow, cisco (lake herring), common shiner, creek chub, emerald Shiner, fathead minnow, finescale dace, golden shiner, Iowa darter, Johnny darter, lake chub, lake trout, lake whitefish, largemouth bass, common logperch, mottled sculpin, ninespine stickleback, northern pike, northern pearl dace, pumpkinseed, rainbow smelt, rock bass, slimy sculpin, smallmouth bass, splake, spoonhead sculpin, spottail shiner, trout-perch, walleye, white sucker, and yellow perch.

The Palazzo della Pilotta is a complex of edifices located between Piazzale della Pace and the Lungoparma in the historical centre of Parma, region of Emilia Romagna, Italy. Its name derives from the game of pelota played at one time by Spanish soldiers stationed in Parma. History Built around 1583, during the last years of reign of Duke Ottavio Farnese, it developed around the corridor (Corridore) which connected the keep (Rocchetta, traces of which can be seen next the river Parma) to the Ducal Palace: the latter, begun in 1622 under Duke Ranuccio I, was never completed. the façade on the Piazza della Ghiaia is missing and the annexed Dominican church of St. Peter was demolished only in recent times. The existing complex includes three courts: the Cortile di San Pietro Martire (now best known as Cortile della Pilotta), Cortile del Guazzatoio (originally della pelota) and the Cortile della Racchetta. The Pilotta was to house a large hall, later turned into the Teatro Farnese, the stables and the grooms' residences, the Academy Hall and other rooms. After the end of the Farnese family rule of Parma, much of the movable assets of the palace were removed by then Duke Charles I, later King of Spain, and taken to Naples in the 1730s. The Biblioteca Palatina was established here by 1769. Elizabeth Farnese, Queen of Spain, was born here in 1692. By 2015, the building spaces had been taken up by a number of cultural institutions and museums, including in addition to the library: National Archaeological Museum Liceo artistico statale Paolo Toschi (it), an art school named after Paolo Toschi Museo Bodoniano (it), a museum dedicated to Giambattista Bodoni Teatro Farnese Galleria Nazionale di Parma See also Ball of wind Valencian pilota References External links Amici della Pilotta friends' association Houses completed in 1583 Buildings and structures in Parma Pilotta Museums in Parma National museums of Italy Farnese residences Duchy of Parma
On December 20, 2022, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Ferndale, California in Humboldt County, United States at 10:34:25 UTC, or 2:34 a.m. PST. Tectonic setting Much of Northern California lies close to the boundaries between three tectonic plates, the Pacific Plate, the Gorda Plate and the North American Plate, which meet at the Mendocino Triple Junction. The Mendocino Fracture Zone marks the transform boundary between the Gorda and Pacific plates. This tectonic boundary has been the cause of many earthquakes in the region, including the megathrust 1700 Cascadia earthquake, and the 1992 Cape Mendocino earthquakes, the latter of which measured 7.2. Earthquake The earthquake measured 6.4 on the moment magnitude scale, and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). It came exactly a year after a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck onshore in the Cape Mendocino area on December 20, 2021, causing only minor damage. It was the result of strike-slip faulting along either a southeast or southwest striking plane. The United States Geological Survey said the earthquake's depth, focal mechanism, and location suggest a likely source within the subducting Gorda Plate. Despite being centered offshore, the fault that triggered the quake travelled onshore and ruptured northeasternwards. Aftershocks Following the mainshock, over 250 aftershocks above magnitude 1.0 occurred, distributed along a distance of . The largest aftershock of the year measured 4.9 magnitude with a maximum intensity of V (Moderate). On January 1, 2023, a magnitude 5.4 aftershock struck, with a maximum intensity of VII. Broken windows, large cracks in buildings and power outages were reported in Humboldt County due to this aftershock, and some houses were badly damaged after being shaken from their foundations. A magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck six miles west-southwest of Ferndale on March 21 and was attributed as an aftershock by the USGS. Impact Casualties Two people died due to "medical emergencies" involved with the earthquake, and seventeen others were injured. In both fatalities, ages 72 and 83, emergency workers were unable to attend to them because ambulances were responding to other areas. One of the deaths was related to a cardiac arrest. Damage Initial reports (via radio scanner traffic) indicated several houses were damaged, numerous gas leaks, and power outages in Rio Dell. Fifteen buildings collapsed or were severely damaged, including one in a fire caused by the tremors. About 100 people were displaced due to damaged homes. Glass windows in stores were shattered and homes knocked off their foundations. At Loleta, bricks toppled from the former Humboldt Creamery building. Some businesses in Fortuna and Ferndale sustained damage at storefronts and products fell. A total of up to 150 homes were damaged or destroyed due to the quake, most of them in Rio Dell. Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) at first estimated that 50,000 people were without power in Humboldt County, a number later revised to 60,000. The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) declared a transmission emergency. Phones were alerted of the coming earthquake as far south as the San Francisco Bay Area. As of 4:25 am. PST, PG&E revised the total of customers without power to 71,170. Caltrans District 1 closed the Fernbridge over the Eel River on California State Route 211 due to four cracks which could cause the road itself to slide off. The California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) coordinated the responses of local governments (including tribal authorities), Cal Fire, Caltrans, the California Geological Survey, and the California Highway Patrol. Cal Poly Humboldt University was closed to all except essential personnel as of 7:16 am. Response The earthquake activated ShakeAlert, USGS's earthquake early warning system for the West Coast. Three million people in northern California and southern Oregon received warnings on their smartphones. Sensors at Fortuna detected the earthquake at 02:34 and issued warnings as far as the California–Oregon border, south of San Jose, past Shasta County and to Medford, Oregon. The warning issued was the most widespread since the system went public in 2019. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) did not issue a tsunami alert and no tsunami occurred.

The Italian Girls' School, Tripoli was founded in 1877 and was the first girls' school in Libya. It was founded by Carolina Nunes Vais (1856-1932), a Jewish Italian educator from Livorno. History The Italian Girls' School was founded in Tripoli in 1877 and was the first formal school for young women in Libya. It was founded one year after the Italian Boys' School was established in Libya by Giannetto Paggi, who was also from Livorno. The first Director of the Italian Girls' School was Carolina Nunes Vais, who was a Jewish teacher from Livorno in Italy. Vais was Director of the school until her death in 1932. Initially all the teachers were from Italy, however some Libyan women teachers began to be employed. However, in 1895 one Libyan sewing teacher was dismissed as her work was not at the standard required. At the school's inception, the main subjects taught were Italian reading and writing, needlework, cookery and arithmetic. However from 1895 the curriculum included French, soon after English, History and Geography were also added. Nevertheless the general make-up of the teachers and students continued to be Italian and Jewish - to such an extent that Jewish subjects were introduced in the 1890s as well. The students were also largely from Tripoli's Jewish middle-class. In 1903 the school was teaching 241 young women. By 1911, the Italian Girls' School in Tripoli had been joined by two further schools for young women: one in Benghazi and one in Khoms. The whole Italian colonial educational system in Libya had an annual budget of 100,000 francs and of that, in 1911, 12,500 was spent on the school and its 348 pupils.

Ace Hardware Corporation is an American hardware retailers' cooperative based in Oak Brook, Illinois, United States. It is the world's largest hardware retail cooperative, and the largest non-grocery American retail cooperative. Founded in 1924 as "Ace Stores", the company changed its name to "Ace Hardware Corporation" in 1931. It grew dramatically following World War II, more than tripling its sales between the late 1940s and 1959. After the retirement of longtime president and founder Richard Hesse in 1973, Ace was sold to its retailers, becoming a retailer-owned cooperative. It first reached $1 billion in wholesale sales in 1985 and $5 billion in 2015. , it has over 5,200 locations in 60 countries. Ace operates 17 distribution centers in the United States, and additional distribution facilities in China, Panama, and the United Arab Emirates. History In 1924, to increase buying power and profits, entrepreneurs Richard Hesse, E. Gunnard Lindquist, Frank Burke, and Oscar Fisher united their Chicago, Illinois, hardware stores into "Ace Stores". The company was named after the ace fighter pilots of World War I, who were able to overcome all odds. Ace Stores was incorporated on March 2, 1928, and the company opened its first warehouse a year later. In 1931, the name was changed to Ace Hardware Corporation. By the end of the 1940s, Ace had wholesale sales of more than $7 million from the 133 stores it supplied. By its 35th anniversary in 1959, the company had more than tripled this figure, with wholesale sales of $24.5 million from 325 stores. Founder and longtime president Richard Hesse retired in 1973. The company was thereafter sold to its retailers and restructured as a cooperative, moving its headquarters to Oak Brook, Illinois. Independent retailers became the exclusive shareholders in the company. The strategy proved successful, and Ace surpassed $1 billion in wholesale sales for the first time in 1985; it went on to pass $5 billion in 2015. Under CEO Roger Peterson (1986–1995), Ace sales more than doubled from $801M in 1983 to more than $2B in 1993. In October 1994, Ace launched a strategic plan known as "The New Age of Ace" with the objective, by 2000, to improve retail performance, more efficient operations, international growth, and a faster pace for new store openings. In 2012, Ace Hardware acquired its largest member, Westlake Ace Hardware, for $88 million. The following year, Ace's president and CEO John Venhuizen launched 20/20 Vision, a strategy to use network power to provide better customer service. , J. D. Power has ranked Ace Hardware "Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Home Improvement Retail Stores" for ten consecutive years. In 2014 and 2015, Ace launched its wholesale distribution network through the acquisition of the Portland, Maine, based Emery-Waterhouse and the Spokane, Washington–based Jensen Distribution Services. Later that year, Ace expanded its wholesale operations coast-to-coast with the formation of Emery Jensen Distribution, LLC. This new distribution arm operates under Ace Wholesale Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Ace Hardware Corporation, and is dedicated to serving non–Ace Hardware independent retailers. Advertising In 1989, Ace's longtime jingle "Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man" was modified, replacing man with the more inclusive and accurate folks. Celebrities Connie Stevens (from 1974 to 1978) and Suzanne Somers (from 1979 into the early 1980s) starred in TV commercials for Ace Hardware. From 1987 to 2009, former NFL coach and NFL commentator John Madden also starred in Ace commercials. In 2016, Ace introduced a new series of commercials featuring associates addressing customers' needs, and a contextually-appropriate version of the Ace jingle (such as, after a customer asks for a lubricant they think is called 10W40, "Ace is the place for the stuff for squeaking hinges that's called WD-40. Not 10-W40, which is motor oil, that we also sell.") Home improvement expert Lou Manfredini serves as Ace's "Helpful Hardware Man" and media spokesman. International operations In 1990, Ace created a separate division known as Ace International and over the following 20 years, established a presence throughout Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East regions. In 2010, Tim-Br Mart Group acquired licensing rights to the Ace brand name in Canada. Four years later, Rona, Inc., signed an agreement with Ace Hardware for the master license to the Ace brand in Canada. Lowe's completed its acquisition of Rona in May 2016. Rona assigned the Winnipeg office as Ace Canada, formally TruServ Canada, to manage the Ace Brand. , there are 62 Ace-branded stores in Canada. Beginning in 2017, Lowe's Distribution Center began to service Ace Canada retailers. In March 2020, Peavey Mart acquired the master license and began to service the 107 Canadian locations. Ace Hardware Philippines Inc was founded in 1997, opening its first branch in the Philippines at SM Southmall in Metro Manila. Currently, Ace Hardware has more than 100 branches all over the country. ACE Hardware is an affiliate of the SM Group of Companies. Ace Hardware Malaysia currently has 22 branches nationwide as of January 1, 2022. PT Ace Hardware Indonesia Tbk (), a listed franchisee controlled by local family business (which owns 59.97%), opened the world's largest Ace Hardware shop, , in Living World Mall, Alam Sutera, South Tangerang, Indonesia. As of December 2, 2011, there were 52 branches in Indonesia. In 1991, Al-Futtaim Group obtained the licensing rights for ACE in the Middle East, now ACE stores trade in six different locations in the United Arab Emirates alone, holding significant market share in the categories of outdoor furniture, Power Tools, gardening, and do-it-yourself in the UAE.

Blue Bolt is a fictional American comic book superhero created by writer-artist Joe Simon in 1940, during the period fans and historians refer to as the Golden Age of Comic Books. Publication history Initially published by Novelty Press, Blue Bolt Comics, one of the earliest comic books titled after a single character, ran 101 issues, cover-dated June 1940 to August 1951. Its namesake hero was created by writer-artist Joe Simon for Funnies Inc., one of the earliest comic-book "packagers" that produced outsourced comics on demand for publishers entering the fledgling medium. By the second issue, Simon had enlisted Jack Kirby as the series co-writer/artist, starting the first pairing of the future comic book legends who shortly thereafter created Captain America and other characters. As Simon recalled in a 1998 Comic-Con International panel in San Diego, California: The two teamed until issue #10, turning over the book to successors including Dan Barry, Tom Gill, and Mickey Spillane (before Spillane's creation of the detective character Mike Hammer in novels). Other enduring features in Blue Bolt included Dick Cole, The Wonder Boy, Sub-Zero Man, Sgt. Spook, Old Cap Hawkin's Tales, White Rider and Super Horse, Edison Bell, Runaway Ronson, Phantom Sub, Krisko and Jasper, Fearless Fellers, and Rick Richards. As the popularity of superheroes began to fade in the post-World War II era, the character of Blue Bolt was transformed from a superhero into a plainclothes type of hero. In 1949, Novelty Press sold its assets, including Blue Bolt, to series cover artist L. B. Cole due to the growing criticism over violence in comic books. Using his new assets, Cole began his own company, Star Publications. Transition to horror title By 1951, Blue Bolt Comics''' name had been changed to Blue Bolt Weird Tales of Terror and featured the type of horror covers epitomized by EC Comics. A couple of issues after the name change, the Blue Bolt was dropped in favor of horror stories. With issue #120 (published in 1953) the title was changed to Ghostly Weird Stories, which published four more issues under that title before folding after issue #124 (September 1954). Fictional character biography After college football star Fred Parrish is struck by lightning during practice he boards a plane in order to seek help. This plane is struck by a second lightning bolt, causing the plane to crash. Finding himself underground, Parrish is found by a scientist named Bertoff who heals him using an experimental radium treatment. This treatment gives Parrish super powers. Using his powers and a lightning gun given to him by Bertoff, Parrish takes up the name the Blue Bolt and battles the underground forces of his arch-enemy, the evil Green Sorceress. After a year, the Blue Bolt discovers that World War II has started. He journeys back to the surface to fight against the Nazis. After the war, Blue Bolt becomes a pilot for Glimpses'', the picture magazine, and works with daring photographer Snap Doodle. Powers and abilities After being struck by lightning twice and being healed via an experimental treatment, Fred Parrish gained the ability to project lightning bolts. He also possessed a lightning gun which could shoot lightning bolts.

Buxton is a village in the parish of Buxton with Lamas, in the Broadland district of the county of Norfolk, England. It is located between Norwich and Aylsham, and is separated from Lamas by the River Bure. In 2021, it had a population of 1,295. History Buxton is of Anglo-Saxon and Viking origin; it derives from an amalgamation of Old English and Old Norse for a settlement, either named for 'Bucca' or deer. In the Domesday Book, Buxton was recorded as a settlement of 34 households in the hundred of South Erpingham. The principal landowner was Ralph de Beaufour. In 1931, the parish had a population of 490. On 1 April 1935, the parish was abolished to form Buxton with Lamas. Buxton Watermill has stood in the village in some form since before the Domesday Book and was last rebuilt in 1754 by the local merchant, William Pepper. Nearby Dudwick Park is listed building and was built for John Wright, a Quaker banker, in the eighteenth century. Wright's charitable donations to the village resulted in the construction of what is now Buxton Primary School and an institution for young offenders, where the Rowan House currently stands. By the nineteenth century, Dudwick Park had passed to the Sewell family, another Quaker family, who further extended the village school; in 1927, they funded the construction of the village hall. In 1937, the house was passed to Percy Briscoe, a tea-planter from Ceylon, who significantly remodeled the exterior. The village was home to a workhouse during the eighteenth century due to the provisions of the English Poor Laws. The foundations of the building still exist on the Buxton-Horstead road. St. Andrew's Church Buxton's parish church is of Norman construct and is dedicated to Saint Andrew. It was significantly remodelled in the nineteenth century with new stained glass being installed by Charles Edmund Clutterbuck, Thomas Willement and Ward and Hughes; however, many of the corbels date from the fourteenth century. A new bell that commemorates the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II was hoisted in April 2023. It is the only one in the United Kingdom that carries the Queen's Platinum Jubilee dedication. Transport Buxton Lamas railway station was opened in July 1879 by the Great Eastern Railway, which connected the village to Aylsham, and beyond. It was closed to passengers in September 1952 and then to freight in April 1965. The Bure Valley Railway now runs a heritage miniature line through the village. A new station, Buxton railway station, provides services to and . Bus routes that serve Buxton are operated by Sanders Coaches, Our Bus and Feline Executive Travel. Destinations include Norwich, Aylsham, Wroxham and North Walsham.

According to the group Jewish Galicia and Bukovina, a group which works to record and commemorate Jewish history from Galicia and Bukovina, the earliest known burial in the cemetery occurred in 1615. According to National Geographic's book Jewish Heritage Travel: a Guide to Eastern Europe, the first burial in the town cemetery actually occurred in 1648., Between 2013 and 2014, individual graves were documented, mapped, and surviving tombstones were photographed and translated by Jewish Galicia and Bukovina. Burials occurred until at least 18 August 1944, with the burial of Sara Schneid. The Holocaust Many victims of the Holocaust are buried in the cemetery. In December 1942, Jews who were working in Bolekhiv were executed (shot) and buried in the cemetery.

Patrick Martin Verbeek (born May 24, 1964) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player and current general manager of the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Verbeek played for five teams over a 20-year playing career, earning a Stanley Cup ring with the Dallas Stars in 1999. His nickname, the "Little Ball of Hate", was given to him in 1995 by Glenn Healy after fellow New York Rangers teammate Ray Ferraro was tagged as the "Big Ball of Hate". He is one of few NHL players to have scored 500 goals, but he is one of four eligible of those players to not be a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Playing career Verbeek grew up in Petrolia, Ontario playing minor hockey before suiting up for the OHA Petrolia Jets Jr.B. club in 1979-80 as a 15-year old. Verbeek was selected 43rd overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft. He helped the Devils to their first playoff berth in the 1987–88 season, when he scored what was a club record 46 goals until it was broken in the 2005–06 season by Brian Gionta's 48 goals. On May 15, 1985, one of Verbeek's thumbs was cut off by an auger in a farming accident. Thanks to his father and brother his thumb was saved, and after extensive rehabilitation, Verbeek returned to hockey. On April 18, 1988, Verbeek cut the leg of Washington Capitals defenseman Rod Langway with his skate. The NHL ruled the incident accidental, but the episode added to the Patrick Division rivalry between Washington and New Jersey. After the 1988–89 season, the Devils traded him to the Hartford Whalers. In his first season, he led the team in goal scoring and in his second he was named team MVP. In 1991, he made the All-Star team for the first time and in the following season, Verbeek was named the Whalers captain. After a short stint with the Rangers, he signed with the Dallas Stars as a free agent in 1996, where he won his first Stanley Cup championship in 1999. During the 1999–2000 season, he signed with the Detroit Red Wings. In Detroit, he passed the 1,000-point mark, scored his 500th goal, and moved into the top 25 in career goal scoring before returning to Dallas for his final NHL season in 2001–02. Post-playing career After retirement, he became a part-time color analyst for television broadcasts of Red Wings' road games. Verbeek is the only player in NHL history to total over 500 career goals and 2500 career penalty minutes. He left his position as a broadcaster in September 2006, to become a scout for the Red Wings. Verbeek was later recruited by former teammate, Steve Yzerman, to work as assistant general manager for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Pat Verbeek worked alongside Yzerman for the Lightning for years, until the pair eventually returned to Detroit. On May 6, 2019, Verbeek was named an assistant general manager for the Detroit Red Wings. Verbeek was named general manager of the Anaheim Ducks on February 3, 2022. Personal Verbeek and his wife Dianne have five children. One son, Kyle, and four daughters: Stephanie, Kendall, Haley, & Georgeanne. The family resided in Birmingham, Michigan during his tenure with the Red Wings.

Officers' Christian Fellowship (OCF) is a nonprofit Christian parachurch organization of 17,000 U.S. Military officers, family members, and friends found at installations throughout the military. Founded in 1943, the organization's purpose remains to glorify God by uniting Christian officers for biblical fellowship and outreach, equipping and encouraging them to minister effectively in the military society. OCF operates Spring Canyon (CO) and White Sulphur Springs (PA), Christian camps and conference centers serving active duty military, veterans, enlisted soldiers, and families along with Christian church organizations. Although the Military Religious Freedom Foundation accused OCF of improper proselytization in 2008, journalist Jeff Sharlet reported that the Obama administration saw no significant problems with this organization or its activities. Origins Officers' Christian Fellowship started as a small Bible study group in Washington, D.C., in the World War II-era. Founded as the Officers' Christian Union in 1943, the name was changed to Officers' Christian Fellowship in 1972. One of the Bible study group's original members, General Hayes Kroner, became OCF's first president. By 1947, after a year at West Point and Annapolis, membership of the organization grew to 41 army cadets and naval mid-shipmen. It was these members and other working officers, rather than a professional staff, who were responsible for the organization's growth in its early years.

Willem-Alexander was born in Utrecht as the eldest child of Princess Beatrix and German diplomat Claus van Amsberg. He became Prince of Orange as heir apparent upon his mother's accession as Queen on , and succeeded her following her abdication on . He went to public primary and secondary schools in the Netherlands, an international sixth-form college in Wales, served in the Royal Netherlands Navy, and studied history at Leiden University. He married Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti in 2002 and they have three daughters: Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange (born 2003), Princess Alexia (born 2005), and Princess Ariane (born 2007).

Until his accession to the throne, he was a member of the International Olympic Committee (1998–2013), chairman of the Advisory Committee on Water to the Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and the Environment (2004–2013), and chairman of the Secretary-General of the United Nations' Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation (2006–2013). Early life and education Willem-Alexander Claus George Ferdinand was born on at the Utrecht University Hospital (now known as the University Medical Center Utrecht) in Utrecht, Netherlands. He is the first child of Princess Beatrix and Prince Claus, and the first grandchild of Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard. He was the first male Dutch royal baby since the birth of Prince Alexander in 1851, and the first immediate male heir since Alexander's death in 1884. From birth, Willem-Alexander has held the titles Prince of the Netherlands (), Prince of Orange-Nassau (Dutch: Prins van Oranje-Nassau), and Jonkheer of Amsberg (Dutch: Jonkheer van Amsberg). He was baptised as a member of the Dutch Reformed Church on in Saint Jacob's Church in The Hague. His godparents are his maternal grandfather Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, his paternal grandmother Gösta Freiin von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen, Prince Ferdinand von Bismarck, former Prime Minister Jelle Zijlstra, Jonkvrouw Renée Röell, and Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. He had two younger brothers: Prince Friso (1968–2013) and Prince Constantijn (born in 1969). He lived with his family at the castle Drakensteyn in the hamlet Lage Vuursche near Baarn from his birth until 1981, when they moved to the larger palace Huis ten Bosch in The Hague. His mother, Beatrix, became Queen of the Netherlands in 1980, after his grandmother Juliana abdicated. He then received the title of Prince of Orange as heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of the Netherlands at the age of 13. Willem-Alexander attended local state primary school Nieuwe Baarnse Elementary School in Baarn from 1973 to 1979. He went to two different state secondary schools: the Baarns Lyceum in Baarn from 1979 to 1981 and the Eerste Vrijzinnig Christelijk Lyceum in The Hague from 1981 to 1983, and the private sixth-form college United World College of the Atlantic in Wales, the UK (1983 to 1985), from which he received his International Baccalaureate. After his military service from 1985 to 1987, Willem-Alexander studied History at Leiden University from 1987 onwards and received his MA degree () in 1993. His final thesis was on the Dutch response to France's decision under President Charles de Gaulle to leave NATO's integrated command structure. Willem-Alexander speaks English, Spanish, French and German (his father's native language, despite never getting German language lessons from him) fluently in addition to his native Dutch. Military training and career Between secondary school and his university education, Willem-Alexander performed military service in the Royal Netherlands Navy from August 1985 until January 1987. He received his training at the Royal Netherlands Naval College and the frigates HNLMS Tromp and HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen, where he was an ensign. In 1988 he received additional training at the ship HNLMS Van Kinsbergen and became a lieutenant (junior grade) (). As a reservist for the Royal Netherlands Navy, Willem-Alexander was promoted to lieutenant commander in 1995, commander in 1997, Captain at Sea in 2001, and commodore in 2005. As a reservist for the Royal Netherlands Army, he was made a major (Grenadiers' and Rifles Guard Regiment) in 1995, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1997, colonel in 2001, and brigadier general in 2005. As a reservist for the Royal Netherlands Air Force, he was made squadron leader in 1995 and promoted to air commodore in 2005. As a reservist for the Royal Marechaussee, he was made brigadier general in 2005. Before his investiture as king in 2013, Willem-Alexander was honourably discharged from the armed forces. The government declared that the head of state cannot be a serving member of the armed forces, since the government itself holds supreme command over the armed forces. As king, Willem-Alexander may choose to wear a military uniform with royal insignia, but not with his former rank insignia. Activities and social interests Since 1985, when he became 18 years old, Willem-Alexander has been a member of the Council of State of the Netherlands. This is the highest council of the Dutch political system and is chaired by the head of state (then Queen Beatrix). Willem-Alexander is interested in water management and sports issues. He was an honorary member of the World Commission on Water for the 21st century and patron of the Global Water Partnership, a body established by the World Bank, the UN, and the Swedish Ministry of Development. He was appointed as the Chairperson of the United Nations Secretary General's Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation on . On 10 October 2010, Willem-Alexander and Máxima went to the Netherlands Antilles' capital, Willemstad, to attend and represent his mother, the Queen, at the Antillean Dissolution ceremony. He was a patron of the Dutch Olympic Games Committee until 1998 when he was made a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). After becoming King, he relinquished his membership and received the Gold Olympic Order at the 125th IOC Session. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1928 Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam, he had expressed support to bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics. He was a member of the supervisory board of (the Dutch central bank), a member of the Advisory Council of ECP (the information society forum for government, business and civil society), patron of Veterans' Day and held several other patronages and posts. Reign On , Beatrix announced her intention of abdicating. On the morning of , Beatrix signed the instrument of abdication at the (Moses Hall) at the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. Later that afternoon, Willem-Alexander was inaugurated as king in front of the joint assembly of the States General in a ceremony held at the Nieuwe Kerk. As king, Willem-Alexander has weekly meetings with the prime minister and speaks regularly with ministers and state secretaries. He also signs all new Acts of Parliament and royal decrees. He represents the kingdom at home and abroad. At the State Opening of Parliament, he delivers the Speech from the Throne, which announces the plans of the government for the parliamentary year. The Constitution requires that the king appoint, dismiss and swear in all government ministers and state secretaries. As king, he is also the President of the Council of State, an advisory body that reviews proposed legislation. In modern practice, the monarch seldom chairs council meetings. At his accession at age 46, he was Europe's youngest monarch. On the inauguration of Spain's Felipe VI on , he became, and remains, Europe's second-youngest monarch. He is also the first male monarch of the Netherlands since the death of his great-great-grandfather William III in 1890. Willem-Alexander was one of four new monarchs to take the throne in 2013 along with Pope Francis, the Emir Tamim bin Hamad of Qatar, and King Philippe of Belgium. Other activities Willem-Alexander is an avid pilot and has said that if he had not been a royal, he would have liked to be an airline pilot so he could fly internationally on large-sized aircraft such as the Boeing 747. During the reign of his mother, he regularly flew the Dutch royal aircraft on trips. However, in May 2017, Willem-Alexander revealed that he had served as a first officer on KLM flights for 21 years, flying KLM Cityhopper's Fokker 70s twice a month, even after his accession to the throne. Following KLM's phased retirement of the Fokker 70, he began training to fly Boeing 737s. Willem-Alexander was rarely recognized while in the KLM uniform and wearing the KLM cap, though a few passengers recognized his voice, even though he never gave his name and only welcomed passengers on behalf of the captain and crew. Using the name "W. A. van Buren", one of the least-known titles of the House of Orange-Nassau, he participated in the 1986 Frisian Elfstedentocht, a distance ice skating tour. He ran the New York City Marathon under the same pseudonym in 1992. Willem-Alexander completed both events. Marriage and children On 2 February 2002, he married Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. The marriage triggered significant controversy due to the role the bride's father, Jorge Zorreguieta, had in the Argentinian military dictatorship. The couple have three daughters: The Princess of Orange, Princess Alexia, and Princess Ariane. Privacy and the press In an attempt to strike a balance between privacy for the royal family and availability to the press, the Netherlands Government Information Service (RVD) instituted a media code on which essentially states that: Photographs of the members of the royal house while performing their duties are always permitted. For other occasions (like holidays or vacations), the RVD will arrange a photo-op on condition that the press leave the family alone for the rest of the activity. During a ski vacation in Argentina, several photographs were taken of the prince and his family during the private part of their holiday, including one by Associated Press staff photographer Natacha Pisarenko, in spite of the media code, and after a photo opportunity had been provided earlier. The Associated Press decided to publish some of the photos, which were subsequently republished by several Dutch media. Willem-Alexander and the RVD jointly filed suit against the Associated Press on , and the trial started on at the district court in Amsterdam. On , the district court ruled in favour of the prince and RVD, citing that the couple has a right to privacy, that the pictures in question add nothing to any public debate, and that they are not of any particular value to society since they are not photographs of his family "at work". Associated Press was sentenced to stop further publication of the photographs, on pain of a fine per violation with a maximum. Properties From 2003 until 2019, Willem-Alexander and his family lived in Villa Eikenhorst on the De Horsten Estate in Wassenaar. After his mother abdicated and became Princess Beatrix once again, she moved to the castle of Drakensteyn, after which the King and his family moved to the newly renovated monarch's palace of Huis ten Bosch in The Hague in 2019. Willem-Alexander has a villa near Kranidi, Greece. Villa in Machangulo On 10 July 2008, the Prince of Orange and Princess Maxima announced that they had invested in a development project on the Mozambican peninsula of Machangulo. The development project was aimed at building an ecologically responsible vacation resort, including a hotel and several luxury holiday homes for investors. The project was to invest heavily in the local economy of the peninsula (building schools and a local clinic) with an eye both towards responsible sustainability and maintaining a local staff. After contacting Mozambican President Armando Guebuza to verify that the Mozambican government had no objections, the couple decided to invest in two villas. In 2009, controversy erupted in parliament and the press about the project and the prince's involvement. Politician Alexander Pechtold questioned the morality of building such a resort in a poor country like Mozambique. After public and parliamentary controversy, the royal couple announced that they had decided to sell the property in Machangulo once their house was completed. In January 2012, it was confirmed that the villa had been sold.

He is descended from the first king of the Netherlands, William I of the Netherlands, who was also a ruler in Luxembourg and several German states, and all subsequent Dutch monarchs. Through his mother, Willem-Alexander also descends from Paul I of Russia and thus from German princess Catherine the Great and Swedish King Gustav I. Through his father, he is also descended from several Dutch–Flemish families who left the Low Countries during Spanish rule, such as the Berenbergs. His paternal great-great-grandfather Gabriel von Amsberg, a major-general of Mecklenburg, was recognized as noble as late as 1891, the family having adopted the "von" in 1795. Willem-Alexander is a descendant of King George II and, more relevant for his succession rights, of his granddaughter Princess Augusta of Great Britain. Under the British Act of Settlement, King Willem-Alexander temporarily forfeited his (distant) succession rights to the throne of the United Kingdom by marrying a Roman Catholic. This right has since been restored in 2015 under the Succession to the Crown Act 2013.

In 1966, Krauss began his political career working for the State, which allowed him to rise once Eduardo Frei Montalva appointed him in 1968 as Ministry of Economy, Development and Reconstruccion. From 1971 to 1975, he was a member of the national board of his party as well as national councilor of it (1976−1989). The first office aforementioned helped him to be elected for the Chamber of Deputies for the period 1973−77, which was disrupted by the coup against Salvador Allende. Returned the democracy in Chile, in early 1990s he was the Minister of Interior of Patricio Aylwin. Similarly, he was deputy (1998−2002) and failed to reach a seat the Senate in 2001. After that, both Ricardo Lagos and Michelle Bachelet appointed him as a diplomat in South American and European countries. Political career Rising: 1966−1989 Due to his career into the Ministry of the Interior during Eduardo Frei Montalva's Christian-democratic government (1964−1970), Krauss was appointed by him as Undersecretary of the Interior on 10 August 1966. Then, he rose when Frei appointed him as Minister of Economy, Development and Reconstruction, in which stayed for a brief period from 1968 to 1969. In that way, in 1970, he was appointed national as head of Radomiro Tomic's presidential campaign, who was defeated by the Marxist candidate Salvador Allende. However, during Allende's government Krauss was a member of the National Television Council (CNTV; 1971−73) until his participation in the 1973 Parliamentary elections, where was elected as a deputy for the 21st Departmental Group of Temuco, Lautaro, Nueva Imperial, Pitrufquén and Villarrica for the legislative period 1973−77 (disrupted by Augusto Pinochet's coup d'état). Similarly, in that election he was elected with the third majority behind Rosendo Huenumán and Hardy Momberg Roa. After the September 11th coup, he was an oppositor of Pinochet's military dictatorship and played a role as human rights lawyer in representation of the Vicariate of Solidarity (1976−90). Concertación governments: 1990−2010 Once ended the Pinochet dictatorship, he was appointed by Patricio Aylwin as Minister of the Interior, office he performed during the whole 1990−94 period. Nevertheless, he had to face such complex episodes as the assassination of UDI senator Jaime Guzmán or the «Boinazo»: a «liaison exercise» that the Chilean Army realized near the Moneda Palace, which included commandos with war weapons surrounding the building. After leaving the government, he worked in the legal area of Telefónica Chile, he was elected president of his party (1997) and also was elected deputy for the 1998−2002 period. However, in 1999, he resigned to the position after Andrés Zaldívar's crushing defeat in the Concertación primary elections, where the winner was Ricardo Lagos (PPD) with a 71% of the votes. Already elected Lagos, in the Congress Krauss was a member of the Permanent Commission of Constitution, Legislation and Justice as well as of the Economy, Development and Reconstruction Commission.

Realizing that Angela is perilously close to having to turn to prostitution, Jerry relents and makes a deal with the gangsters, hoping to make enough money to support Angela. After he is caught and jailed, Jerry escapes from his prison camp and deserts, searching for a way that he and Angela can run away to be together.

The syntactic pivot is the verb argument around which sentences "revolve" in a given language. This usually means the following: If the verb has more than zero arguments, then one argument is the syntactic pivot. If the verb agrees with at least one of its arguments, then it agrees with the syntactic pivot. In coordinated propositions, in languages where an argument can be left out, the omitted argument is the syntactic pivot. The first two characteristics have to do with simple morphosyntax, and from them, it is quite obvious the syntactic pivot in English (and most other European languages) is called the subject. An English verb cannot lack a subject (even in the imperative mood, the subject is implied to be "you" and is not ambiguous or unspecified) and cannot have just a direct object and no subject; and (at least in the present tense, and for the verb to be) it agrees partially with the subject. The third point deserves an explanation. Consider the following sentence: I shot the deer and killed it. There are two coordinated propositions, and the second proposition lacks an explicit subject, but since the subject is the syntactic pivot, the second proposition is assumed to have the same subject as the first one. One cannot do so with a direct object (in English). The result would be ungrammatical or have a different meaning: *I shot the deer and I killed. The syntactic pivot is a feature of the morphosyntactic alignment of the language. In nominative–accusative languages, the syntactic pivot is the so-called "subject" (the argument marked with the nominative case). In ergative–absolutive languages, the syntactic pivot may be the argument marked with the absolutive case but not always so since ergative languages are often not "pure" and show a mixed behaviour (they can have ergative morphology and accusative syntax). Languages with a passive voice construction may resort to it to allow the default syntactic pivot to shift its semantic role (from agent to patient) in a coordinated proposition: He worked hard and was awarded a prize.

The name Pat has been used for six tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific Ocean: Typhoon Pat (1948) Typhoon Pat (1951) Typhoon Pat (1982) – a Category 3 typhoon that neared the Philippines. Typhoon Pat (1985) – impacted southern Japan and was known as one of three cyclones that interacted with each other. Typhoon Pat (1988) – a Category 1 typhoon that hit the Philippines. Typhoon Pat (1991) – a Category 4 typhoon that did not affect land. Typhoon Pat (1994) – a Category 2 typhoon that did not affect land. It has also been used for two tropical cyclones in the South Pacific Ocean: Tropical Cyclone Pat (1977) – a weak and short-lived tropical cyclone. Cyclone Pat (2010) – affected the Cook Islands.

This is a list of episodes for the anime series Hikaru no Go. This lists every episode, starting with the English title as they aired on Toonami Jetstream, followed by the title that was used on the original Japanese episode on TV Tokyo. The anime more or less follows the same storyline as the manga. A short summary follows, introducing the episode and referring to some of the gags. There are a total of 75 episodes, excluding a 2004 special showing what happens after episode 75. The final three episodes were released in English dub February 2011 when the series was put up for download on the iTunes store. Episode list New Year Special – The Road to the Hokuto Cup Japanese Broadcast: 2004-01-03 Running time: 77 minutes Ending Theme: "Everlasting Snow" by Dream Hikaru is given a phone call asking him to appear in a Japan/China/Korea under-18 tournament – the Hokuto Cup – but he finds out he will have to take part in a preliminary tournament to choose Japan's three contestants. Upon discussing this with Akira, he discovers that Akira has already been chosen for the tournament and will not be taking place in the preliminaries. Hikaru then decides not to visit Akira's Go Salon until he takes his place on the team with Akira. That may be tougher than originally planned, as not only does Hikaru have to battle with old friends for one of two coveted spots, but he may have a new challenger, in an unorthodox player from the Kansai Go Institute named Yashiro. The anime also shows Akira Toya play Ogata and Hikaru play Morishita 9-dan; both young players lose to the seasoned top pros. This special does not cover the actual tournament. The manga, however, does and offers some closure.

Dimitar Kovačevski (, ; born 24 July 1974) is a Macedonian politician and economist serving as prime minister of North Macedonia since January 2022. A member and currently president of the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia, Kovačevski previously served as deputy finance minister from 2020 until his appointment as prime minister in 2022 after the resignation of Zoran Zaev. Background Kovačevski was born in Kumanovo. He is the son of Slobodan Kovačevski, mayor of Kumanovo from 2000 to 2005 and ambassador of the Republic of Macedonia to Montenegro after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 2006. He completed high school education in Waterville, Minnesota, United States. In 1998 he graduated at the Faculty of Economics at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje and received a master's degree at the same Faculty in 2003. In 2008 he completed doctoral studies in economics at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Montenegro. Kovačevski started his working career in 1998 at the Macedonian telecommunications company Makedonski Telekom. From 2005 to 2017 he held a number of managerial positions in the company. From 2017 to 2018 he was the executive director of A1 Macedonia (then known as one.Vip), a subsidiary of Telekom Austria Group. Kovačevski was an assistant professor at two private universities in Skopje since 2012, first at the New York University of Skopje, and then at the Faculty of Business Economics and Management at University American College Skopje, where in 2018 he was elected associate professor. In 2018, Kovačevski co-founded a private company, which opened the first domestic factory for the production of photovoltaic modules in North Macedonia. He has been a member of the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM) since 1994. Political career After the 2020 parliamentary elections in North Macedonia, Kovačevski was appointed Deputy Minister of Finance in Zoran Zaev's second government. The parliament elected him to this position on 23 September 2020. Zaev announced his resignation as both prime minister and leader of the SDSM after a defeat in the 2021 local elections. This caused instability in the fragile ruling majority, which nevertheless survived a push from the opposition led by VMRO-DPMNE for a no-confidence vote. In the aftermath, Zaev's government strengthened its majority in the parliament by gaining the support of four other MPs from Alternativa, which until then was in the opposition. Kovačevski accompanied Zaev during negotiations with Alternativa, which launched his name as Zaev's most likely successor. After Zaev officially resigned as president of the SDSM, Kovačevski won the internal party elections on 12 December 2021, leaving the other two candidates far behind in votes and succeeding Zaev as leader of the party. He was sworn in as prime minister on 16 January 2022.

German submarine U-345 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. She carried out no patrols. She did not sink or damage any ships. She was damaged beyond repair on 13 December 1943 and mined in December 1945. Design German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-345 had a displacement of when at the surface and while submerged. She had a total length of , a pressure hull length of , a beam of , a height of , and a draught of . The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of for use while surfaced, two AEG GU 460/8-276 double-acting electric motors producing a total of for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to . The submarine had a maximum surface speed of and a maximum submerged speed of . When submerged, the boat could operate for at ; when surfaced, she could travel at . U-345 was fitted with five torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one SK C/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and four twin C/30 anti-aircraft guns. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and sixty. Service history The submarine was laid down on 9 July 1942 at the Nordseewerke yard at Emden as yard number 217, launched on 11 March 1943 and commissioned on 4 May 1943 under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Ulrich Knackfuß. U-345 served with the 8th U-boat Flotilla from 4 May 1943. She was hit during a USAAF raid on Kiel on 13 December 1943. The damage was severe enough that she was paid off on the 23rd. After the German surrender in May 1945, she was mined off Warnemünde, (north of Rostock), in December.

He released his first studio album later that year, entitled Vägen tillbaka, with the hit single "Eld och djupa vatten". After a show on "Vattenfestivalen" in Stockholm later in 1999, Ken Ring got arrested for performing the song called "Spräng regeringen" in which he rapped about rushing the Royal Palace in Stockholm and raping Princess Madeleine. Because of this controversy Ken's record label ended their cooperation with the rapper, in the year 2000, however, before parting ways, Ken managed to release his second studio album Mitt hem blir ditt hem, through the same label. After that album was released, Ken Ring became what is known as an underground rapper, being unable to find a willing record label. He continued releasing songs on the internet. In 2004, Ken Ring started a collaboration with Norwegian producer Tommy Tee. The collaboration was successful, and they released the album Två legender utan pengar (Two Legends Without Money) together, in 2004. Ken Ring has collaborated with rappers and producers Tommy Tee, Saigon, Heltah Skeltah, Morgan Heritage, Kalamashaka, and many others. Along with Proof and Swift from D12, Ken helped in the production of rap group Smif-n-Wessun's self-titled album. Ken has released 9 studio albums so far. He has 3 grammy nominations and has performed more than 950 shows worldwide. Ken has 4 children in Sweden. Using his connections with many members of the hip-hop "game", Ken is building a large studio in Kenya and is planning to take over the African hip hop industry, according to his own claims. He has also been in a few, low-budget films, including "Blodsbröder". He was an extra in the Swedish TV-show Rederiet, in 1995. He is currently writing his first movie script. He is also the owner of a newly started football club called "K.R.A.C.K UNITED", located in the coastal region of Kenya. He has stated the goal for this being to sell players to the European market in the future. The team has done very well and is now the best youth team of the south coast. During 2013, Ken Ring participated in the TV-show Så mycket bättre where he regained a lot of media attention after being "kept in the dark" for so long due to his controversy. Since January 2014, Ken Ring has been signed to the "Orlando John Agency", a talent agency owned by Wyclef Jean's manager. On April 12, 2021 Ken announced his retirement from music on a LinkedIn post.

George Inness Jr. (January 5, 1854 – July 27, 1926), was one of America's foremost figure and landscape artists and the son of George Inness, an important American landscape painter. Biography He studied with his father and Léon Bonnat in the 1870s in Europe, where he was made an officer of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. Like his father, he was considered a member of the Barbizon School and resisted impressionism. Later he returned to the United States and became known for his paintings of animals and illustration of hunting scenes. In 1899 he was elected to the National Academy of Design. He lived and worked in Boston, New York City and New Jersey and finally in Tarpon Springs, Florida, where he produced most of his life's work. The Unitarian Universalist Church in Tarpon Springs contains a collection of eleven of his works, several of which are murals painted directly to the walls of the church sanctuary. Inness married the daughter of publisher Roswell Smith, who founded the publishing house the Century Company. Smith's purchase of a large canvas painted by Inness of New Hampshire's Mount Washington helped launch Inness's financial success, which did not come until middle age. Inness later purchased his home Wentworth Manor in Montclair, New Jersey, from his father-in-law Smith in 1889. His summer estate at Cragsmoor, New York, known as Chetolah, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. He is buried in Montclair's Rosedale Cemetery, next to his father.

Homenetmen Sports Association Beirut (; ), or simply Homenetmen, is a football club based in Beirut, Lebanon, that competes in the . It is the association football branch of the larger Lebanese-Armenian multi-sports and scouting organisation of the same name. Homenetmen Beirut was established in 1924, just six years after establishment of Homenetmen in Constantinople. The club won seven Lebanese Premier League and three Lebanese FA Cup titles. They also participated in the Asian Champion Club Tournament in 1970, finishing in third place. History Homenetmen Beirut were founded in 1924, as one of the oldest teams in the region. The initial headquarters of Homenetmen Lebanon were in the Zuqaq al-Blat quarter of Beirut, before moving to Bourj Hammoud. Homenetmen were affiliated to the Tashnag party. In 1927, the team played their first game against a foreign team in Aleppo, Syria, beating Homenetmen Aleppo 1–0. Homenetmen first won the Lebanese Premier League in 1943–44; they won the league a further six times, holding a then-record seven titles. Homenetmen also finished as league runners-up seven times, and won the Lebanese FA Cup three times. In 1970, Homenetmen represented Lebanon at the Asian Champion Club Tournament for the first time; having refused to play Hapoel Tel Aviv of Israel in the semi-final on political grounds, they beat PSMS Medan of Indonesia in the third-place match. Homenetmen's refusal to play Hapoel was one of the reasons for the Israel Football Association's expulsion from the Asian Football Confederation in 1974. Following the Lebanese Civil War, Homenetmen fell into dismay: they were relegated to the Lebanese Second Division for the first time in 2002, and to the Lebanese Third Division in 2005.

Bleeker are a Canadian rock band from Orillia, Ontario, consisting of Taylor Perkins, Cole Perkins, Mike Vandyk and Chris Dimas. History Originally Bleeker Ridge, the band was formed by two sets of brothers: Taylor and Cole Perkins, and Dan and Dustin Steinke. They came together in 2003 when all four met at a music shop in Orillia, Ontario, when Cole Perkins and Dan Steinke were 12 years old. They first started playing covers of Jimi Hendrix and Joe Walsh songs before releasing two independent CDs: Undertow (2004) and The Rain (2007). The band was scouted by various members of the music industry, but were often considered too young. Joe Kresta, an A&R director, saw the band in 2005 when he was with Universal Music Canada. Kresta said he was "totally amazed at what these 14-year-olds were doing, they had their shirts off, long hair and it was almost odd, these voices and that sound coming out of these little guys. There were guitar licks that you see guys three times their age doing, but I wasn't in A&R at the time, so I walked away thinking, 'Hey, that was really something special,' but they still hadn't found their own identity." The band's name Bleeker Ridge is from the street names where the two sets of brothers lived: the Perkins' lived on Bleeker St. and the Steinke's lived on Ridge Ave. The band later signed with Roadrunner Records. In the Summer of 2010, the band toured Canada with Airbourne as one of two opening acts, along with Social Code. They released the album Small Town Dead, produced by Bob Marlette, on September 21, 2010 in Canada. The first single from the album was the title track "Small Town Dead". The song charted on the Canadian Active Rock Charts, reaching the top 10. In Spring 2011, Bleeker Ridge performed on the Canadian leg of the Jagermiester Music tour alongside My Darkest Days, Papa Roach, and Buckcherry. They also released "You Would've Liked It" and "Sick of You" as singles in 2011. Mike Vandyk, "Dutch", joined the band shortly after the album's release. Mike had been a session/recording & tour bassist for the band. In April 2013, Bleeker Ridge released "Last Cigarette" as a single from their soon to be released album "Four", followed by "Go Home" a few months later. June 4, 2013, Bleeker Ridge's album "Four" was released. After completing the recording of their new album with James Michael, who along with Nikki Sixx and DJ Ashba form the band Sixx:A.M., Dustin was asked to play drums for them on their Japanese debut at the Nippon Budokan on February 19, 2015 as part of VampPark Fest hosted by the rock band Vamps. After a successful show in Japan, they asked him to play drums on their first tour, the Modern Vintage Tour. In January 2016, Dustin left the band and signed on with Sixx:A.M., and Bleeker Ridge changed their name to Bleeker. Dan left the band a few months later. In 2017, Bleeker was nominated for Breakthrough Group of the Year at the Juno Awards. In 2023, Bleeker signed a management deal with Known Accomplice and have hinted that new music is coming towards the end of 2023. The band are recording new music with producer Brian Moncarz.
