Dutch Flat of Arizona is a valley south of the Sacramento Valley and Interstate 40 in southern Mohave County.
The region is part of the southeast extension of the Mojave Desert into northwest Arizona. Dutch Flat borders the south of the Sacramento Valley, and Sacramento Wash drains west on the northwest perimeter to meet the Colorado River at Needles.
Description
Dutch Flat is a 25-mile (40 km) long valley, trending slightly northwest at its north. It is surrounded by mountain ranges, and the south borders the Aubrey Peak Wilderness at the northwest end of the Rawhide Mountains. The small McCracken Mountains are on the southeast perimeter, south of the Hualapai Mountains. A geology tour, Hike 30, Hiking Arizona's Geology starts from the east at Wikieup, in the Big Sandy River Valley and crosses over the Hualapai's, through Dutch Flat to the Aubrey Peak Wilderness area at Centennial Wash. A separate geology hike is on the same route in the very south of the Hualapai's at the beginning of the route, at Aubrey Peak (Hualapai Mountains).
Dutch Flat can be accessed from the north at Interstate 40, from the east at Wikieup, and from the southwest by way of Lake Havasu City.
Geography
Yucca is located at , on the northeast perimeter of Dutch Flat. The small range of the McCracken Mountains is located at , on the southeast border. Franconia, Arizona is southwest of Yucca on Interstate 40 in Arizona.

Dagenais v Canadian Broadcasting Corp, [1994] 3 S.C.R. 835 is the leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on publication bans and their relation to the right to freedom of expression under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It was held that judges have a common law discretionary authority to impose publication bans on information revealed in a criminal trial. The judge, however, must weigh competing rights, such as freedom of expression and right to a fair trial, to mizzen the violation of rights. It was further held that the media has a right to appeal a decision of a publication ban.
Background
Four former and present members of the Christian Brothers, a Catholic order, were charged with sexual abuse of young boys while they were teachers at an Ontario Catholic school. During their trial the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation produced a dramatic mini-series, based on another sexual abuse scandal at Mount Cashel Orphanage, named The Boys of St. Vincent, and it was scheduled to be broadcast nationwide in the first week of December, 1992. The defence brought an application requesting the jury be charged before the airing of the show or else sequestered over the weekend of the show's airing. The judge declined and instead merely directed the jury to avoid watching the show.
The day before the airing the defence applied for an injunction to restrain the CBC from broadcasting the show and from publishing any information relating to the show until the last of the four trials were over. The injunction was granted.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal for Ontario upheld the injunction but limited it only to Ontario and Montreal, and overturned the ban on any publicity of the show. The CBC and the National Film Board of Canada appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Opinion of the Court
The majority of the Court held that the publication ban was in violation of the freedom of expression under section 2(b) of the Charter.
Aftermath
The Court set out a test for a publication ban to be granted, and this has since become known as the Dagenais/Mentuck test:
Smith J stated in a 2014 judgment that:

The Morea ( or ) was the name of the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece during the Middle Ages and the early modern period. The name was used for the Byzantine province known as the Despotate of the Morea, by the Ottoman Empire for the Morea Eyalet, and later by the Republic of Venice for the short-lived Kingdom of the Morea.
Etymology
There is some uncertainty over the origin of the medieval name "Morea", which is first recorded only in the 10th century in the Byzantine chronicles.
Traditionally, scholars thought the name to have originated from the word morea (μορέα), meaning morus or mulberry, a tree which, though known in the region from the ancient times, gained value after the 6th century, when mulberry-eating silkworms were smuggled from China to Byzantium.
The British Byzantinist Steven Runciman suggested that the name comes "from the likeness of its shape to that of a mulberry leaf".
History
After the conquest of Constantinople by the forces of the Fourth Crusade (1204), two groups of Franks undertook the occupation of the Morea. They created the Principality of Achaea, a largely Greek-inhabited statelet ruled by a Latin (Western) autocrat. In referring to the Peloponnese, they followed local practice and used the name "Morea".
The most important prince in the Morea was Guillaume II de Villehardouin (1246–1278), who fortified Mistra (Mystras) near the site of Sparta in 1249. After losing the Battle of Pelagonia (1259) against the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus, Guillaume was forced to ransom himself by giving up most of the eastern part of Morea and his newly built strongholds. An initial Byzantine drive to reconquer the entire peninsula failed in the battles of Prinitza and Makryplagi, and the Byzantines and Franks settled to an uneasy coexistence.
In the mid-14th century, the later Byzantine Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos reorganized Morea into the Despotate of the Morea. Sons of the emperor with the rank of despotes were usually sent to rule the province as an appanage. By 1430, the Byzantines eventually recovered the remainder of the Frankish part of the Morea, but in 1460 the peninsula was almost completely overrun and conquered by the Ottoman Empire. In these conquests, the coastal and port cities remained in the hands of the Venetians such as Monemvasia, Lepanto, Modon, Koron, but these places were captured during the reigns of Bayezid II and Süleyman I. In July 1461, the last holdout, Salmeniko Castle, was taken.
The peninsula was captured for the Republic of Venice by Francesco Morosini during the Morean War of 1684–99. Venetian rule proved unpopular, and the Ottomans recaptured the Morea in a lightning campaign in 1714. Under renewed Ottoman rule, centered at Tripolitsa, the region enjoyed relative prosperity. The latter 18th century was marked by renewed dissatisfaction. Armed bands of the klephts emerged, undeterred by the brutal repression of the Orlov revolt. They waged guerrilla war against the Turks, aided both by the decay of Ottoman power and the emergence of Greek national consciousness. Ultimately, the Morea and its inhabitants provided the cradle and backbone of the Greek Revolution.
Chronicle of the Morea
The anonymous 14th century Chronicle of the Morea relates events of the Franks' establishment of feudalism in mainland Greece following the Fourth Crusade. Despite its unreliability about historical events, the Chronicle is famous for its lively portrayal of life in the feudal community. The language in Greek versions is notable as it reflects the rapid transition from Medieval to Modern Greek. The original language of the Chronicle is disputed, but recent scholarship prefers the Greek version in MS Havniensis 57 (14th–15th century, in Copenhagen). Other manuscripts include the Ms Parisinus graecus 2898 (15th–16th century, at the , Paris). The difference of about one century in the texts shows a considerable number of linguistic differences due to the rapid evolution of the Greek language.

Nanantius is a genus of extinct enantiornithean avialan ("bird" in the broad sense of the word) known from the Early Cretaceous (Albian, c. 100–112 mya) of Australia.
Specimens and species
The only valid species of Nanantius is Nantantius eos, which was first described in 1986. A supposed second species, Nanantius valifanovi, has turned out to be a synonym of Gobipteryx minuta. N. eos was initially only known from an incomplete but elongated tibiotarsus and a cervical (neck) vertebra hailing from the Toolebuc Formation stratum. This holotype tibiotarsus (QM F12992) was found at Warra Station near Boulia, in Queensland.
In 1997, additional fossils from Canary Station in the same area of Australia were also placed into the genus Nanantius. One of these was a cervical (neck) vertebra, QM F12991, which was assigned to Nanantius eos. The other bone was a partial left tibiotarsus (QM F31813) which was assigned to Nanantius but not placed within Nanantius eos due to possessing a few anatomical differences.
In 2009, an unpublished dissertation written by Jingmai O'Connor reported that the holotype tibiotarsus and referred vertebra of N. eos have been lost. As it stands, Nanantius eos is one of the most fragmentary named species of enantiornithean.
Description
Nanantius eos has been classified as an enanthiornithean, a Cretaceous group of primitive birds that did not survive the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction. However, it is now known that the characters of the tibiotarsus are not sufficiently diagnostic to place a bird into the Enantiornithes. For example, the more modern genus Apsaravis also possessed an "enantiornithean" tibiotarsus. Thus, although an enantiornithine affinity of Nanantius is likely - these birds were the dominant avian group in the Early Cretaceous, and the tibiotarsus is very similar to the doubtlessly enantiornithine Gobipteryx -, this placement is not certain until more diagnostic material, such as the characteristic tarsometatarsi, have been found. In Hartman et 2019 supplementary it is noted that the construction of the tibiotarsus is more typical of enantiornitheans than ornithurine birds Nanantius is tentatively recorded as part of a clade closely related to Vorona, Grabauornis and Yungavolucris.
N. eos was a small species, about the size of a blackbird; it probably looked like a miniature gull with clawed wings and a neck and head more similar to that of a feathered theropod dinosaur. It presumably fed on marine invertebrates and small fish on the coast of what was then the Eromanga Sea, a shallow subtropical arm of the Tethys Seaway. The theory that Nanantius were seabirds is evidenced by the fact that another tibiotarsus referable to this genus, and quite possibly to N. eos itself, was found in the gut of an ichthyosaur with specimen number QM F16811.

The July 2016 North China cyclone was a devastating extratropical cyclone which produced torrential precipitation and caused widespread flash floods over North China and portions of nearby regions, resulting in at least 184 deaths and ¥33.19 billion (US$4.96 billion) of damage in China.
Meteorological history
The meiyu front persisted over the region between Huai River and Yangtze during mid-July 2016 since the dissipation of Typhoon Nepartak. Meanwhile, the subtropical ridge over the northwest Pacific Ocean was located unusually southward and westward, which blocked the Southwest Monsoon and made it completely flow into mainland China. On July 19, as the westerlies collided with the strong Southwest Monsoon, cyclogenesis began within the front and formed an extratropical cyclone over Henan, China at around 20:00 CST (12:00 UTC). The cyclone quickly reached peak intensity at around 02:00 CST (18:00 UTC) on July 20, with the central pressure at . Drifting north-northeastward with surface sustained winds below gale-force, the system started to weaken slowly in the province of Hebei after 14:00 CST (06:00 UTC) and occluded right before 02:00 CST (18:00 UTC) on July 21, owing to the disconnection from the Southwest Monsoon. It became almost stationary near Beijing until it dissipated after 20:00 CST (12:00 UTC) on July 21.
Impact
Throughout the municipalities of Beijing, Chongqing and Tianjin as well as the provinces of Guizhou, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Henan, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan and Yunnan, the extratropical cyclone brought torrential rainfalls and caused severe flash floods, which affected 15,597,000 people, with 184 deaths, 130 missing and ¥33.19 billion (US$4.96 billion) of damage. 575,000 people were evacuated, and 155,000 people need an emergency relief. More than 129,500 houses are collapsed, and at least 361,000 houses are damaged. The damaged agricultural areas are 12,049 km2, including of the destroyed agricultural areas.

Bulgaria selected their Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 entry through an internal selection. On 26 July 2014 the Bulgarian broadcaster BNT stated that they will return to the contest with Krisia Todorova. This was later confirmed by the EBU on 1 August 2014. Krisia Todorova, Hasan and Ibrahim Ignatov represented Bulgaria with the song Planet of the Children. Despite being one of the favourites to win the contest, it finished second with 147 points.
Internal selection
On 25 July 2014 the Novini.bg stated that Bulgaria would return to the contest with Krisia Todorova singing and Hasan and Ibrahim playing the piano. Despite originally being considered speculation, the next day the Bulgarian broadcaster revealed that Todorova would actually represent Bulgaria in the 2014 contest. The EBU confirmed this news a week later. On 9 October, Todorova presented her Junior Eurovision entry Planet of the Children live on Slavi's Show on bTV.
At Junior Eurovision
At the running order draw which took place on 9 November 2014, Bulgaria were drawn to perform second on 15 November 2014, following and preceding .
Final
Krisia Todorova stood in the centre of the stage, where she performed her song. She was wearing a beautiful full length black and white dress, with a red bow on the back. Ibrahim was in a white suit, and played the white piano, while Hasan was wearing a black suit, and played the black piano. The backdrop was blue, with clouds, winter trees, and bright green flowers. During the chorus, the backdrop transformed into lovely mountains, with a white snowy road that leads to a huge castle covered in snow, just like in a fairytale.
Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member were released one month after the final.
Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Bulgaria had placed first with the public televote and fourth with the jury vote. In the public vote, Bulgaria scored 143 points, while with the jury vote, Bulgaria scored 86 points.
Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Bulgaria and awarded by Bulgaria in the final and the breakdown of the jury voting and televoting conducted during the final.

This page is about the IIBC Championships. For the World Bowls Tour, see World Indoor Bowls Championships.
The IIBC Championships were an annual indoor bowls international championships event, run by the governing body of the sport, the International Indoor Bowls Council (IIBC). The IIBC ran a men's singles, ladies singles and mixed pairs international championships event at senior level each year as the alternative championships to the more prominent World Indoor Bowls Championships organised by the World Bowls Tour and which features players recognised as the leading indoor players. The IIBC also organise the men's singles, ladies singles and mixed pairs international championships at under 25 level each year, which are held separately from the senior event. Although players from both hemispheres were able to compete, travelling restricted the entries and the majority of the leading indoor players from the Southern hemisphere did not take part.
In 2019, the IIBC came to an agreement with the World Bowls organisation. The agreement was to merge their two international indoor championships, the IIBC Championships and the World Cup Singles. The new event would be called the World Bowls Indoor Championships.
About IIBC
The International Indoor Bowls Council (IIBC) is a governing body for the sport of indoor bowls. It is responsible for properly constituting the laws of the sport. Along with World Bowls Ltd and the Professional Bowls Association (PBA), they run the World Bowls Tour (WBT) each year.
Established in 1983 as the World Indoor Bowls Council. The inaugural World Indoor Championships was held in 1979 at Coatbridge. In 1987, a Ladies Section (WIBCLS) was founded, with the first WIBCLS Singles Championships taking place a year later. Following the 1992 tournament, a new organisation called the World Bowls Tour (WBT) was established, and by 1988 the World Indoor Singles and Pairs titles for men was run under the auspices of the WBT. Within twelve months, the Men and Ladies sections combined to form a newly constituted Council, resulting in the WIBC Men’s and Ladies’ World Championships. It did not take long before the first Two-Wood Mixed Pairs Championship was added to the tournament format.
The following are a list of member nations and organisations of the IIBC:
English Indoor Bowling Association (EIBA)
Guernsey Indoor Bowling Association (GIBA)
Ireland
Association of Irish Indoor Bowls (AIBA)
Irish Women's Indoor Bowling Association (IWIBA)
Isle of Man Bowling Association (IMBA)
Jersey Indoor Bowling Association (JIBA)
Nederlandse Indoor & Outdoor Bowls Bond (NIOBB)
Scottish Indoor Bowling Association (SIBA)
Welsh Indoor Bowls Association (WIBA)
Welsh Ladies Indoor Bowls Association (WLIBA)
Senior
In 2010, Wales' Kerry Packwood recorded the first ever whitewash and the highest score in the championships history, in a first round win against Mary Alderson from the Isle of Man, winning the match in straight sets 17–0, 19–0. In 2013, Jersey staged the senior championships for the first time. It has previously staged the under 25 event. In 2014, Julie Forrest of Scotland became the first person to win the men's or women's title for a record fourth time. In 2015, Chloe Greechan of Jersey became the youngest ever bowls world champion at 14-years-old, winning the mixed pairs title with her father, Thomas Greechan.
Finals
Under 25
In 2004, the mixed pairs event was added to the under 25 championships for the first time. In 2005, Guernsey hosted the under 25 championships for the first time. In 2012, Amy Stanton became the first female to win the women's title three years running. In 2014, Chloe Watson became the first Irish and youngest ever winner of the women's title at the age of 17.

Interstate 94 (I-94) in the US state of Minnesota runs east–west through the central portion of the state. The highway connects the cities of Moorhead, Fergus Falls, Alexandria, St. Cloud, Minneapolis, and Saint Paul. Authorized in 1956, it was mostly constructed in the 1960s. For its whole length, it runs concurrently with either US Highway 52 (US 52) or US 12.
Route description
I-94 enters the state from North Dakota at the city of Moorhead and heads southeast after serving Moorhead.
Traveling southeast from Moorhead, there are several places where the elevation of I-94 rises slightly; these are "beaches" that formed as the glacial lake rose or fell. Finally, at Rothsay, I-94 climbs the last beach line and enters terrain more typical for Minnesota. From Rothsay to the Twin Cities, the terrain of I-94 is rolling with frequent lakes visible from the highway.
I-94 traverses by Fergus Falls, Alexandria, and Sauk Centre on its way to St. Cloud. The "original main street" in Sauk Centre near I-94 commemorates the Sinclair Lewis novel that skewered this town.
Monticello is roughly the midpoint exurb for both St. Cloud and Minneapolis. Between exits 201 (Albertville) and 194 (Monticello) sits the Minnesota Road Research Facility.
Upon arrival to the Twin Cities, I-94 first approaches Minneapolis from the north, then the highway turns east after passing through the Lowry Hill Tunnel and heads to Saint Paul while traveling east.
The road crosses the Mississippi River in Minneapolis between the Prospect Park and Seward neighborhoods. The highway joins Minneapolis and Saint Paul together where it meets Minnesota State Highway 280 (MN 280). In Saint Paul, the routing of I-94 is set through the historic Rondo neighborhood, which, prior to the highway's construction, was the largest Black community in Saint Paul.
Upon leaving Saint Paul, the route travels through suburban Washington County and exits the state into Wisconsin between Lakeland, Minnesota, and Hudson, Wisconsin, while crossing the St. Croix River.
Legally, the Minnesota section of I-94 is defined as unmarked Legislative Route 392 in the Minnesota Statutes § 161.12(4). I-94 is not marked with this legislative number along the actual highway.
History
I-94 in Minnesota was authorized as part of the original Interstate System in 1956. It was mostly constructed in the 1960s.
I-94 follows the original route of old US Highway 52 (US 52) from Moorhead to St. Cloud, then I-94 stays south of the Mississippi River along the former route of old MN 152 between St. Cloud and the Twin Cities. I-94 then passes through both downtowns and exits toward Wisconsin along the former route of old US 12.
The first section of I-94 in Minnesota constructed was between Moorhead and Albany in the early 1960s, as an extension of the existing highway in North Dakota.
The section of I-94 between Minneapolis and Saint Paul was completed in 1968 and dedicated December 9. In the Twin Cities, the construction of the highway was politically charged. The highway was built primarily through many working-class and Black neighborhoods. In Saint Paul, the routing of I-94 displaced the historic Rondo Neighborhood, which, prior to the highway's construction, was the largest Black community in Saint Paul.
The section of I-94 between Maple Grove and Brooklyn Center was completed in 1969, between St. Augusta and Maple Grove in 1973 and between Albany and St. Augusta in 1977.
The section of I-94 from Brooklyn Center through north Minneapolis was completed in 1984. Like the Rondo neighborhood in the 1960s, this segment was through a primarily Black and working-class neighborhood.
The last section of I-94 in Minnesota constructed was the between its junction with I-494/I-694 at Woodbury and the Wisconsin state line at Lakeland. This was completed in 1985.
In 2004, a third lane was constructed between Brooklyn Boulevard at Brooklyn Center and Hemlock Lane at Maple Grove. This is located immediately east of the I-494/I-694/I-94 interchange in Maple Grove, also known locally as the Fish Lake Interchange.
From September 2007 to October 2008, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) added a temporary extra lane to I-94 between northbound I-35W and MN 280 in the Twin Cities to help relieve traffic congestion caused by the collapse of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge. As a result, this portion of I-94 was not up to Interstate Highway standards during this time period.
Rethinking I-94
In 2016, MnDOT launched a project known as Rethinking I-94, which is aimed at reconnecting neighborhoods, revitalizing communities, and ensuring that residents have a voice in transportation decisions. The construction of I-94 between Minneapolis and Saint Paul was controversial and has been a political debate for many years. MnDOT is considering reconnecting those neighborhoods that were destroyed and separated in 1960.

Whitney Rose (born May 9, 1986) is a Canadian-American country musician from Prince Edward Island, Canada. She has released four studio albums through Cameron House Records and Six Shooter Records. Her self-titled debut album Whitney Rose was released in 2012 and Heartbreaker of the Year in 2015. The EP South Texas Suite was released in 2017. Rule 62 was released in October 2017.
Rose currently resides in Austin, Texas.
History
Whitney Rebecca Rose was raised by her mother Laurie Rose and her grandparents, Jean (née Dunn) and John P. Rose (1947–2015), in Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island, where she lived in a home with her mother's younger brothers and sisters. Her grandparents ran a bar called the Union Hall. Rose's favorite song from the age of two was Hank Williams’ "There's a Tear in My Beer", which she'd sing to bar customers – sometimes crawling downstairs after her bedtime, and sometimes being paid a dollar to sing. As she jokes, "I guess it became my career pretty early on. And the pay is about the same now, too. Not much has changed."
Her grandfather's "song of choice" was the Johnny Cash classic "Ring of Fire", which she often includes in her set lists in his memory. As an 8-year-old, Rose made a road trip with her mother to Halifax, Nova Scotia where she saw The Rankin Family, a regional group that mixed Celtic and country sounds. It was her first big concert. She plays the group's music on the tour bus "because nobody really outside of the (Canadian) East Coast has even heard of them. . . I don't think it's solely nostalgia. I actually enjoy the music, too."
Rose attended five different colleges, studying journalism and majoring in English. A "starter guitar" given to her by her Uncle Dan started her writing songs. Moving to Toronto from "a farm in the middle of nowhere in Nova Scotia", and a failed relationship, she'd written enough songs for a record. In Toronto she got "immersed" in the Cameron House scene, the bar becoming a second home. She released her self-titled debut record in 2012 for fledgling Cameron House Records.
She got signed by "great booking agents" in 2013 and made a "one-off appearance" opening for U.S. country act The Mavericks in Toronto. She later toured as an opening act for Raul Malo’s band. Rose received a Gibson acoustic guitar, which she named "Aggie", as a 27th-birthday present from a boyfriend in 2013. Rose says of the instrument, "I always kind of meant it to be just a writing tool. ... It's kind of one of the biggest surprises of my life that I actually play guitar in front of people night after night because at one point it would have been absolutely my worst nightmare."
She signed with Six Shooter Records in 2016 and is managed by Michael McKeown, former president of Cameron House Records.
Recordings
Rose signed originally with Cameron House Records, an "offshoot of the legendary Toronto club" of the same name. She joined other artists on the label, e.g., Al Tuck, Doug Paisley, The Devin Cuddy Band, Sam Cash & The Romantic Dogs.
Heartbreaker of the Year (2015)
Rose's sophomore release was produced by The Mavericks' frontman, Raul Malo, and includes two covers: Hank Williams’ "There's a Tear in My Beer" and "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes. Rose and Malo have often sung the Nancy and Frank Sinatra duet "Somethin’ Stupid" together onstage.
American Songwriter says: "There’s a robust countrypolitan vibe to much of this, that hits its peak on the string enhanced ballad “Ain’t it Wise,” with Malo on backing vocals, sounding like a hit from the mid-’60s. Rose sings in a sweet, strong, vulnerable voice that’s both powerful and subtle, a tricky balance she pulls off with a smooth and soulful edge." They note: “The Devil Borrowed My Boots” is "terrifically crafted and brilliantly realized roots music guaranteed to provoke smiles."
Rolling Stone says on this release that Rose "playfully croons through tales of love and mischief with girlish breath and devilish twang."
South Texas Suite (2017)
The EP South Texas Suite was released on January 27, 2017 by both Six Shooter Records and Thirty Tigers. Recorded at Dale Watson's Ameripolitan Studios in Austin, it is considered "Canadian countrypolitan chanteuse" Rose's love letter to the Texas capitol, her adopted home following a "winter engagement" at famed Continental Club.
The EP is runs less than 25 minutes—with a "brief instrumental breakdown" as the last track. PopMatters says of Rose's recording, "She sings as if the Lone Star state was hers."
Rule 62 (2017)
Produced by Raul Malo, with co-production by Niko Bolas, Rule 62 boasts the musicianship of Paul Deakin of The Mavericks on drums and Aaron Till of Asleep at the Wheel. On bass was Jay Weaver who's worked with Dolly Parton and Tanya Tucker. Jen Gunderman played piano, Chris Scruggs worked the steel guitar, and Kenny Vaughn strummed lead guitar.

Style
"countrypolitan chanteuse" Rose writes and performs traditional and contemporary American country music. She refers humorously to her style as "vintage-pop-infused-neo-traditional-country."
Influences
Turning her nose up at her family collection of more currently popular fare, Rose favored the "queen bees" of Nashville like Kitty Wells, Tammy Wynette, and Dolly Parton. She also preferred "country kingpins" like Hank Williams, George Jones, and Keith Whitley. Rummaging through her grandparents’ cassette tapes, she discovered the Ronettes and "the ‘Runaround Sue’ guy," Dion DiMucci. Of her taste for music, Rose says, "I still listen to that stuff today. And I did even through my teenage years. My friends never wanted to drive with me because I would not be listening to like quote-unquote cool music."
She participated in a Judy Garland tribute show, really getting into 1940s music. "I’m a huge Judy Garland fan," she says.
Personal
Rose has six "half-siblings" and she utilizes technology to feel closer to her family and friends "back home". She says her grandmother is "probably the only person who I stay in touch with every single day. We talk and text a lot. A lot, a lot."

WISE J014656.66+423410.0 (designation abbreviated to WISE 0146+4234) is a binary brown dwarf of spectral classes T9 and Y0 located in the constellation Andromeda. It is approximately 60 light-years from Earth.
Discovery
WISE 0146+4234 was discovered in 2012 by J. Davy Kirkpatrick et al. from data, collected by Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) Earth-orbiting satellite — NASA infrared-wavelength 40 cm (16 in) space telescope, which mission lasted from December 2009 to February 2011. In 2012 Kirkpatrick et al. published a paper in The Astrophysical Journal, where they presented discovery of seven new found by WISE brown dwarfs of spectral type Y, among which also was WISE 0146+4234.
Distance
The distance of WISE 0146+4234 was initially estimated to be 20 light-years from earth. Later measurements of its stellar parallax showed that it was actually 60 light-years away.

Antony Joseph Trapnell Kloman (born Joseph Trapnell Kloman; 19 June 1904 – January 28, 1993) was an American art patron active in the art world in the 1950s. The story of Antony Kloman's life remains quite mysterious and sketchy.
World War II activities
Born in Haymarket, Virginia, Kloman graduated from Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland and in the 1920s is reported to have worked for the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington as Assistant to the Director. During World War II he served with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), where he was involved in the training of secret agents. From 1944 to 1945, he was posted at the US Embassy in Stockholm under the cover of Cultural Attaché, where his assignment was to attempt to recruit and infiltrate agents into Germany. After the war he lived in New York and in London, where he allegedly was employed by Hambros Bank. Whether, once he had left Stockholm, he was still employed by any secret service is not known.
Arts career
Kloman was the organiser of the International Sculpture Competition on the Theme of the Unknown Political Prisoner from 1951 to 1953, held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, at which he served as the first program director. This later turned out to be financed by the U.S. State Department, via the "benefactor" John (Jock) Whitney, as a front.
At the time of the competition, Kloman was married (since 1948) to Theodate (Theo) Johnson, the sister of the architect Philip Johnson, which explains his close connections to the MoMA. Franz Schulze wrote in his biography of Johnson about this relationship: "[... In 1953 (sic), Theodate Johnson] succumbed to the allure of Tony Kloman, a man remembered by the Johnson family as long on looks and charm, short on a commitment to any definable career. He trafficked a little in antiques, painted an occasional portrait of somebody who could afford it, and idled much of the rest of the time, content to survive on Theo's money. Their divorce was filed and settled in 1956."
In the late 1950s, he settled as a painter, mainly children's portraits, in Newport, Rhode Island. He died in 1993 in Manatee County, Florida.

Darrin Fitzgerald is an American former basketball player who is known for his collegiate career at Butler University. Between 1983–84 and 1986–87, Fitzgerald scored 2,019 points, which is the third highest total in school history. He is 5'9" and played the point guard and shooting guard positions.
He is also known as a prolific three-point shooter. In his senior year, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) officially introduced three-pointers into college basketball. Fitzgerald took full advantage as he made an NCAA-record 158 threes in a single season (since broken by Stephen Curry in 2007–08), while his 5.64 made threes per game is a still-standing record (the next closest per-game average is a distant 4.96). Also in his senior year, Fitzgerald scored 54 points against Detroit, which is another school record. In all four seasons Fitzgerald led Butler in assists.

Hartvig Philip Rée (12 October 1778 – 1 October 1859) was a Jewish-Danish merchant and author who built a large shipping and trade business to become one of the wealthiest people of his time. He created the first Jewish cemetery and synagogue in Aarhus at a time when Jews were frequently discriminated against and the Jewish population was negligible. He published a number of written works, mostly related to Jewish theology but also dealing with broader subjects such as economics.
Warly life and education
Rée was born in Fredericia to the German merchant Philip Hartvig Rée (1744–99) and his wife Hanna Hartvig (1759–1830) who had immigrated from Hamburg. His parents were spiritually inclined and especially had a desire to study Jewish traditions and history. His father hired tutors and teachers from abroad to teach his children. In combination Rée was given a thorough education in trade which was completed with several-years long stay in Hamburg with his uncle.
Career
Rée had to take over his father's business sooner than expected when his father died in 1799. Hartvig Philip Rée quickly moved his father's business to Aarhus and opened a branch in Randers. He got involved in shipping and started importing coal, iron, salt and hops and exporting grain, wool, fur and hides. He established a sugar refinery, a print shop, a dye business and a clothes factory in Randers. Rée became the wealthiest person in Aarhus, according to tax records, and he owned Den Rosenørnske Gård in Vestergade, a large mansion by the Aarhus River where he created a large romanticist garden that became famous at his time.
Other activities
In the 1820s, Rée established a synagogue in the first hall of the newly built side building in his estate in Vestergade. He published a number of works, mainly concerned with religious philosophy and theology. He was a proponent of a liberal interpretation of Jewish theology and reforms of Jewish traditions which he defended in a number of publications in German and Danish. He also published an interpretation of John's Revelation, wrote of national economy and occasionally some poetry.
Personal life
He married his cousin Thamar (Therese) Rée on 12 March 1804 and they had a number of children including Hertz Hartvig Rée, Anton Rée, Bernhard Philip Rée, Simon Philip Rée, Israel Philip Rée, Vilhelm Hartvig Rée and Frederikke Privche von Essen.
When his wife Thamar Rée died in 1850, he lost interest in his business and moved to Copenhagen where he spent the rest of his life in a modest apartment, continuing his studies. His son, Hertz Rée took over the business. He died in 1859 at Copenhagen.

The Falcon 9 v1.0 was the first member of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle family, designed and manufactured by SpaceX in Hawthorne, California. Development of the medium-lift launcher began in 2005, and it first flew on June 4, 2010. The Falcon 9 v1.0 then launched four Dragon cargo spacecraft: one on an orbital test flight, then one demonstration and two operational resupply missions to the International Space Station under a Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.
The two stage vehicle was powered by SpaceX's Merlin engines, burning liquid oxygen (LOX) and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1). Had the F9 V1.0 been used for launching payloads other than the Dragon to orbit, it would have launched to low Earth orbit (LEO) and to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO).
The vehicle was retired in 2013 and replaced by the upgraded Falcon 9 v1.1, which first flew in September 2013. Of its five launches from 2010 to 2013, all successfully delivered their primary payload, though an anomaly led to the loss of one secondary payload.
Design
First stage
The Falcon 9 v1.0 first stage was used on the first five Falcon 9 launches, and powered by nine SpaceX Merlin 1C rocket engines arranged in a 3x3 pattern. Each of these engines had a sea-level thrust of for a total thrust on liftoff of about .
The Falcon 9 tank walls and domes were made from aluminum lithium alloy. SpaceX uses an all-friction stir welded tank, the highest strength and most reliable welding technique available.
The Falcon 9 v1.0 first stage used a pyrophoric mixture of triethylaluminum-triethylborane (TEA-TEB) as a first-stage ignitor.
Second stage
The upper stage was powered by a single Merlin 1C engine modified for vacuum operation, with an expansion ratio of 117:1 and a nominal burn time of 345 seconds. For added reliability of restart, the engine has dual redundant pyrophoric igniters (TEA-TEB). The second stage tank of Falcon 9 is simply a shorter version of the first stage tank and uses most of the same tooling, material and manufacturing techniques. This saves money during vehicle production.
The Falcon 9 v1.0 interstage, which connects the upper and lower stage for Falcon 9, is a carbon fiber aluminum core composite structure. Reusable separation collets and a pneumatic pusher system separate the stages. The stage separation system had twelve attachment points (later reduced to just three in the v1.1 launcher).
Control
SpaceX uses multiple redundant flight computers in a fault-tolerant design. Each Merlin engine is controlled by three voting computers, each of which has two physical processors that constantly check each other. The software runs on Linux and is written in C++. For flexibility, commercial off-the-shelf parts and system-wide "radiation-tolerant" design are used instead of radiation-hardened parts.
Four Draco thrusters were to be used for at least the second revision of the Falcon 9 v1.0 rocket second-stage as a reaction control system. It is unknown whether Falcon 9 ever flew with these thrusters; the second revision of Falcon 9 v1.0 was replaced with the Falcon 9 v1.1, which used nitrogen cold gas thrusters. The thrusters were used to hold a stable attitude for payload separation or, as a non-standard service, were also designed to be used to spin up the stage and payload to a maximum of 5 rotations per minute (RPM), although none of the five flown missions had a payload requirement for this service.
Development history
Funding
While SpaceX spent its own money to develop its first launch vehicle, the Falcon 1, the development of the Falcon 9 was accelerated by the purchase of several demonstration flights by NASA. This started with seed money from the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program in 2006. SpaceX was selected from more than twenty companies that submitted COTS proposals. Without the NASA money, development would have taken longer, Musk said.
The development costs for Falcon 9 v1.0 were approximately , and NASA verified those costs. If some of the Falcon 1 development costs were included, since F1 development did contribute to Falcon 9 to some extent, then the total might be considered as high as .
NASA also evaluated Falcon 9 development costs using the NASA‐Air Force Cost Model (NAFCOM)—a traditional cost-plus contract approach for US civilian and military space procurement—at based on a NASA environment/culture, or using a more commercial approach.
Production
In December 2010, the SpaceX production line was manufacturing one new Falcon 9 (and Dragon spacecraft) every three months, with a plan to double the production rate to one every six weeks in 2012.
Launch history
The v1.0 version of Falcon 9 was launched five times, all successfully carrying a Dragon spacecraft to low-Earth orbit, of which three achieved docking with the International Space Station.
One of those missions deployed its secondary payload in a lower orbit than expected due to an engine failure and safety constraints imposed by the ISS primary mission.
Reusability
SpaceX ran a limited set of post-mission booster recovery flight tests on the early Falcon rocket launches, both Falcon 1 and Falcon 9. The initial parachute-based design approach was ultimately unsuccessful, and the company adopted a new propulsive-return design methodology that would utilize the Falcon 9 v1.1 vehicle for orbital recovery testing, but did use a Falcon 9 v1.0 booster tank for low-altitude low-velocity flight testing in 2012–2013.
From early days in the development of the Falcon 9, SpaceX had expressed hopes that both stages would eventually be reusable. The initial SpaceX design for stage reusability included adding lightweight thermal protection system (TPS) capability to the booster stage and utilizing parachute recovery of the separated stage. However, early test results were not successful, leading to abandonment of that approach and the initiation of a new design.
In 2011 SpaceX began a formal and funded development program—the SpaceX reusable launch system development program—with the objective of designing reusable first and second stages utilizing propulsive return of the stages to the launch pad. The early program focus, however, is only on return of the first stage.
As an early component of that multi-year program, a Falcon 9 v1.0 first stage tank, long, was used to build and test the Grasshopper prototype test vehicle, which made eight successful low-altitude takeoffs and vertical landings in 2012–2013 before the vehicle was retired.

Years of Tears is an album by the American musician Bobby "Blue" Bland, released in 1993. Bland supported the album with a North American tour. The album peaked at No. 80 on Billboard'''s Top R&B Albums chart. It won a W. C. Handy Award, in the Soul/Blues category.
Production
Produced by Wolf Stephenson and Tommy Couch, Years of Tears was recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Bland worked on the album for more than a year. Frederick Knight wrote three of the album's songs; including Knight's songs, the majority were written by Malaco Records songwriters.
Critical reception
The San Antonio Express-News considered Years of Tears to be among Bland's best albums. The Los Angeles Times wrote that the album "plays to his key strength, which is an ability to bring you into the bleak, dark, anxious and solitary places inhabited by troubled minds." The Denver Post noted that "the Muscle Shoals, Ala., session players provide him with gritty, introspective deep-soul instrumental support that seems relevant and vital for the 1990s." The Commercial Appeal concluded that Bland "is in excellent voice throughout." Texas Monthly'' determined that "the label's synthesizer-and-strings approach has kept him contemporary without making him sound foolish."
AllMusic wrote: "Bland's animated, raw voice, though not as wide-ranging, still has a character and quality unmatched in blues, soul or vintage R&B."

Herbert William "Buddy" O'Connor (June 21, 1916 – August 24, 1977) was a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who played for the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers in the National Hockey League between 1941 and 1951. He won the Hart Trophy and Lady Byng Trophy in 1948.
Playing career
O'Connor played for the Montreal Canadiens from 1941 to 1947 and won two Stanley Cups during his career in 1944 and 1946 while playing for the Canadiens.
In 1947, O'Connor was traded to the New York Rangers. He had 60 points that season, finishing second to Montreal's Elmer Lach in the scoring race. He was also awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy and Lady Byng Memorial Trophy and was the first player to win both in the same year. He was also the first Ranger to win the Hart. These achievements were reflected in his being named winner of the Lionel Conacher Award, as Canada's male athlete of the year for 1948.
O'Connor played for the Rangers until 1951. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988, becoming the first inductee into the now-defunct Veteran category.
In the 2009 book 100 Ranger Greats, the authors ranked O'Connor at No. 38 all-time of the 901 New York Rangers who had played during the team's first 82 seasons.

Artisan Partners is an American asset management company headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Outside the United States, the company has offices in Dublin, Hong Kong, London, Singapore and Sydney.
History
In 1994, Andrew Ziegler, the President of Strong Capital Management left the firm to found Artisan Partners with his wife Carlene who also worked at the firm as a portfolio manager.
In 1995, Artisan partners started its first fund strategy in small-cap growth equity for American companies.
In 2002, Artisan partners added a global value team to focus on markets outside the United States.
In 2006, Hellman & Friedman took a minority stake in Artisan Partners. In the same year, Artisan Partners added an emerging markets team via a liftout from DuPont Capital Management.
In 2008, Carlene Ziegler retired from the company to focus on her family's showjumping horse business.
In 2010, Andrew Ziegler stepped down from his role as CEO to take the new role of executive chairman and was succeeded by Eric Colson.
In April 2011, Artisan Partners filed for an initial public offering (IPO). However, in December, it withdrew its IPO plans citing unfavourable market conditions .
In November 2012, Artisan Partners made a second attempt to go public. On March 7, 2013, it successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) opening at $35.20 per share which was 17% above its $40 offer price and raised a total of $332 million. The company planned to the proceeds to repay debt, buy back shares from early investors and pay a distribution to pre-IPO partners
In 2014, Artisan Partners which up to this point only handled equity investments, added a credit team to invest in high-yield debt. In the same year Andrew Ziegler stepped down as executive chairman after selling 1.4 million shares during a secondary market offering.
In September 2018, Artisan Partners restructured its Global Value team into two groups. One will invest outside of American markets while the other will focus on American markets.
In June 2023, Artisan Partners became a member of the S&P 600 index.
Shareholder activism
In May 2015, Artisan Partners called for The Adecco Group to reconsider appointing Alain Dehaze as its CEO.
In January 2016, Artisan Partners called for Johnson & Johnson to consider separating its three divisions, consumer products, pharmaceuticals and medical devices into standalone companies. It also suggested replacing board members and reviewing standards for executive pay and financial reporting. The consumer health division of Johnson & Johnson was later spun off as Kenvue and listed on the NYSE in May 2023.
In February 2021, Artisan Partners urged the board of directors of Danone to oust its chairman and CEO, Emmanuel Faber. On March 15, 2023, the board ousted Faber with 10 out of 15 members voting against him.
In December 2021, Artisan backed Toshiba's plan to split into three companies.
In January 2022, Artisan Partners called for Seven & I Holdings to split up the company.
In May 2022, Artisan Partners called for Credit Suisse to replace its CEO, Thomas Gottstein. In July 2022, Gottstein resigned and was replaced by Ulrich Körner.

Piero Scaruffi (born 1955) is an Italian-American writer who maintains a website on which his reviews of music, film, and art are published. He has created his own publishing entity called Omnipublishing, that exclusively releases his books about music and science.
Biography
Early life and education
Scaruffi was born in 1955 in Trivero, a comune in the Province of Biella of Italy. He graduated from the University of Turin with a degree in Mathematics.
Career
For a number of years he worked for Olivetti on artificial intelligence. as well as at Stanford University. He has been a visiting scholar at Harvard University and Stanford University (conducting research on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science), lectured on "The Nature of Mind" and "History of Knowledge" (most recently at U.C. Berkeley), and published on artificial intelligence and cognitive science, including Thinking About Thought (2003) and The Nature of Consciousness (2006).
His work aims to bridge artificial intelligence, mathematics, science and art. As a software consultant, he worked on Internet applications, Artificial Intelligence and Object-Oriented design in Silicon Valley. He is an Italian-American, a naturalized U.S. citizen. He also writes about music. He published books about the history of rock music, jazz, avant garde music and modern popular music. One of them, A History of Rock and Dance Music, vol 1 and 2, spans 50 years of the genre; Scaruffi estimated that it had sold 1,500 copies by 2006. His writings on music are hosted online on his own website, scaruffi.com, and include a history of jazz and a history of modern classical music. The website, especially its music section, was the subject of an article in The New York Times by Dan Morrell on October 15, 2006. Morrell noted the "staggering" volume of Scaruffi's work, given that the site is "a one-man operation". From 2000 to 2003 he was a member of the Governing Board of Directors of the journal Leonardo. The most widely known entry on Scaruffi's website is his career-spanning essay on the Beatles, effectively a polemic against the critical and popular consensus regarding the band's influence on modern music.
Scaruffi chaired, among others, the Big Bang conference of June 2008 at UC-Berkeley. He has compiled an extensive "Annotated Bibliography of Mind-Related" Topics", as well. He has been running the Leonardo Art Science Evenings (LASERS) at the University of San Francisco and Stanford University, a series that he established in 2008 and as of 2022 spread to 50 universities worldwide. He also runs the interdisciplinary quarterly events SMMMASH at Stanford University. Scaruffi is involved in organising and moderating events for Stanford Continuing Studies.

The Beresford Republic is the weekly newspaper of Beresford, South Dakota. The newspaper is published every Thursday.
History
According to the Beresford Centennial Book (published in 1984), the Beresford Republic was founded by a Mr. Stroud in Elk Point, South Dakota. It was originally published under the title, the Union County Republican. The first volume of that newspaper still survives in private hands and was put on display at the history exhibit during the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the incorporation of the city of Beresford, South Dakota in July 2009. The first issue of that newspaper was published on August 2, 1894. H. A. Sturges was reported to have owned the newspaper for twenty-seven years.
According to the Beresford Centennial Book, the newspaper was at the "end of its string" when it was taken over by Harry Sturges. Later, he was said to have sold out his interests in the paper to his younger brother, H. A. Sturges. By the start of the newspaper's fourth volume 1897, it was published in Beresford, South Dakota under the title, Union County Republic before the title of the newspaper was finally changed to the Beresford Republic in 1898.
In 2023, a decision was made to merge the Beresford Republic with the Alcester Union-Hudsonite. When the editor of the Alcester Union-Hudsonite retired in the spring of 2023, an unsuccessful attempt was made to find a new editor; so, the offices of that newspaper were shut down. The Alcester-Hudson newspaper was then merged with the Beresford newspaper to become the Alcester-Beresford-Hudson Republic on September 7, 2023.
During the school year, the Beresford High School newspaper, the Beresonian, is published as part of the Beresford Republic.

Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK) was an American aerospace, defense, and sporting goods company with its headquarters in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States. The company operated in 22 states, Puerto Rico, and other countries. ATK's revenue in the 2014 fiscal year was about US$4.78 billion.
On April 29, 2014, ATK announced that it would spin off its Sporting Group and merge its Aerospace and Defense Groups with Orbital Sciences Corporation.
The spinoff of the Sporting Group to create Vista Outdoor and the merger leading to the creation of Orbital ATK were completed on February 9, 2015; both companies began operations as separate entities on February 20, 2015. Orbital ATK was bought by Northrop Grumman in 2018.
History
ATK was launched as an independent company in 1990, when Honeywell spun off its defense businesses to shareholders. The former Honeywell businesses had supplied defense products and systems to the U.S. and its allies for 50 years, including the first electronic autopilot for B-17 aircraft's bombing missions during World War II.
In 1995, ATK entered the aerospace market with the acquisition of the Hercules Aerospace Co., a division of Hercules Inc. Since then ATK has become a supplier of aerospace and defense products to the U.S. government and its allies, and to their contractors. It also carries on the manufacture and sale of the Hercules gunpowder lines.
In 2001, ATK acquired Thiokol, renaming it ATK Launch Systems in 2006, though it is still known within the industry by its original name. Thiokol was the sole manufacturer of the reusable Solid Rocket Motor used to launch the NASA Space Shuttle, which is being adapted for NASA's Space Launch System.
Also in 2001, ATK entered the sporting and law enforcement ammunition market with the acquisition of the ammunition businesses of Blount International. This acquisition made ATK the nation's largest manufacturer of ammunition.
In 2009, ATK acquired Eagle Industries and in 2010 ATK acquired Blackhawk Industries Products Group Unlimited, LLC, diversifying into the security and law enforcement market.
On 29 April 2014, ATK announced that its board unanimously approved a plan to create two independent, public companies composed of ATK's current businesses and Orbital Sciences Corporation. ATK spun off its Sporting Group to ATK shareholders on a tax-free basis. The spinoff was immediately followed by an all-stock merger of ATK's Aerospace and Defense Groups with Orbital Sciences; Orbital shareholders will receive ATK common stock as consideration. The combined company was named Orbital ATK Inc. On October 28, 2014, ATK announced that it would be seeking approval of issuance of shares to Orbital stockholders on December 9.
ATK responded to news of the explosion of a rocket built by Orbital in an earnings call. ATK stated it would conduct a "thorough evaluation of any potential implications resulting from the incident, including current operating plans, long-term strategies, and the proposed transaction." ATK also said that it was taking a careful look at its Castor 30XL motor, which is used in the second stage of Orbital's Antares rocket. ATK further noted that the explosion occurred before ignition of the second stage.
On November 17, 2014 ATK stated that its due-diligence assessment of its merger with Orbital Sciences undertaken in response to the failure of Orbital's Antares rocket found that the transaction remained in the best interest of its shareholders. Both firms rescheduled shareholder votes on the merger from December 9, 2014 to January 27, 2015.
The spinoff of the Sporting Group to create Vista Outdoor and the merger leading to the creation of Orbital ATK were completed on February 9, 2015; both companies began operations as separate entities on February 20, 2015. Orbital ATK was bought by Northrop Grumman in June 2018.
In July 2022 Northrop CEO Kathy Warden was forced to deny reports that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would break up the merger.
Groups
ATK Aerospace
ATK's Aerospace Group covered space, defense and commercial aerospace products and capabilities. The group offered propulsion for space exploration, commercial launch vehicles and strategic and missile defense. ATK Aerospace was headquartered in Magna, Utah.
It also specialized in:
Composite structures for military and commercial aircraft
Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engine

ALV X-1 sounding rocket
In November 2010, ATK was selected by NASA for potential contracts in heavy lift launch vehicle systems and other propulsion technologies. In 2012, NASA awarded the company a $50 million contract to complete engineering development and risk reduction tests as part of the Advanced Concept Booster Development for the Space Launch System (SLS).
In April 2014, ATK received a contract from the United Launch Alliance, worth $178 million, to produce composite structures for the United States Air Force's Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program. ATK will deliver parts for the Atlas V and Delta IV starting in 2014 and continuing into early 2018. There is an option for additional deliveries in 2017 and 2018. ATK will provide fairings, payload adapters and diaphragms, interstages, nose cones, and thermal/aerodynamic protection components. All the structures will be produced at ATK's Large Structures Center of Excellence in Iuka, Mississippi.
ATK produces avionics for NASA's Space Launch System program. The Space Launch System is designed for deep space operations, including missions to Mars. After ATK finishes testing, avionics will be delivered to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. The first launch is expected in 2017.
Airbus A350 XWB-1000
ATK produces composite stringers and frames for the Airbus A350 XWB-1000 variant at its facility in Clearfield, Utah. As of 2014, ATK has delivered more than 10,000 components to Airbus.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner
ATK participated in a consortium to develop a new engine nozzle for the Boeing 787 designed to make its operation more environmentally friendly. The nozzle was made from oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composite (CMC) and tested on the 787 ecoDemonstrator. Boeing's tests show that the nozzle is more heat resistant than previous models and lighter, allowing for potential gains in fuel efficiency. This was the largest part ever made from CMC.
Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle
The Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle is a spacecraft intended to carry a crew of up to four astronauts to destinations beyond-low Earth orbit. Currently under development by NASA, for launch on the Space Launch System, Orion will facilitate human exploration of the Moon, asteroids and Mars.
ATK developed the launch abort motor that sits on top of the Orion capsule. This device would pull the capsule and its crew up and away from the rocket in the event of major fault on the launch pad or during ascent. ATK also developed numerous composite parts that provide heat protection for Orion.
James Webb Space Telescope
ATK worked with Northrop Grumman to produce the backplane support frame (BSF) for the James Webb Space Telescope. The BSF, center section, and wings form what is called the primary mirror backplane support system (PMBSS). The BSF is the primary load-bearing structure during launch and the PMBSS holds the telescope's main instruments, including its mirrors. The BSF was designed and manufactured at ATK's facilities in Magna, Utah. ATK designed and fabricated more than 10,000 parts for the PMBSS. PMBSS is made primarily of lightweight graphite, but numerous other materials including invar, titanium, and other composite materials were used.
Delta II
ATK produces Graphite Epoxy Motors (GEM) and largest composite fairings for the Delta II rocket as a subcontractor for the United Launch Alliance. As of June 2014, ATK has produced 987 solid rocket boosters for Delta II missions. These strap-on boosters, known as GEM-40s, add 434,000 pounds to the Delta II's maximum thrust. The GEM-40s can be used in groups of three, four, and nine depending on the weight of the payload. The composite structures supplied by ATK increase performance by reducing weight. In addition to composite booster cases for the GEM-40s, ATK produces a 10-foot wide composite payload fairing that covers and protects satellites during launch. ATK also produces the titanium diaphragm propellant tanks and pressurant tank for each Delta II vehicle.
Delta IV
ATK produces Graphite Epoxy Motors and numerous other components for the Delta IV rocket. For example, for the Delta IV that carried the Wideband Global SATCOM satellite (WGS-6) into orbit for the U.S. Air Force, ATK supplied the interstage connector that linked the Common Booster Core and the cryogenic second stage, a centerbody that connects the liquid oxygen tank to liquid hydrogen tanks, a thermal shield for the RS-68 engine, the composite payload fairing, and numerous pieces of hardware for securing the payload.
Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2
The Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 (OCO-2) is an American environmental science satellite. The spacecraft is used to study carbon dioxide concentrations and distributions in the atmosphere. ATK produced the OCO-2's Variable Conductance Heat Pipes, an important part of its thermal control system, solar arrays, and solar array substrates.
InSight
InSight is a robotic lander mission to Mars originally planned for launch in March 2016. The mission's objective is to place a stationary lander equipped with a seismometer and heat flow probe on the surface of Mars to study its early geological evolution. This would bring new understanding of the solar system's terrestrial planets. ATK was awarded a contract to provide its UltraFlex solar arrays for the mission. ATK claims that UltraFlex will provide better performance than typical solar arrays used on spacecraft while accommodating ambitious requirements for low mass and small size.
Atlas V
ATK entered the competition to replace the Russian-made rocket engine on the Atlas V rocket in September 2014. The Atlas V is used to launch most U.S. military satellites. ATK entered the competition in response to a request for proposals from the Air Force Space and Missile Defense Center issued in 2013 for the RD-180 rocket engine. ATK already supplies rocket engines used in heavier version of the Atlas V. ATK says that solid rocket motors are more reliable and deliver more thrust. ATK said, "Solid rocket motors are optimal for first-stage performance as they provide high lift-off thrust, allowing for more payload margin. They also require less ground and launch infrastructure, resulting in fewer launch scrubs." The RD-180 engines use kerosene for fuel. The request from the Air Force occurred due to concerns about whether the RD-180 would be available in the future due to increasing tensions with Russia.
Graphite Epoxy Motors
The Graphite-Epoxy Motor (GEM) is a solid rocket motor produced by ATK using epoxy composite casing. GEMs are used as boosters for the Delta II, Delta III, and Delta IV launch vehicles. The use of composite materials allows for booster casings several times lighter than the steel casings of the Castor 4 solid rocket motors they replaced. The first flight of a GEM occurred in 1990 on a Delta II 7925.
ATK Defense
ATK's Defense Group produced ammunition, precision and strike weapons, missile-warning solutions and tactical rocket motors across air, sea and land-based systems.
ATK Defense Group develops products and services for:
Small-, medium- and large-caliber ammunition
Anti-radiation homing strike vehicles
AARGM
Missile warning and hostile fire detection
Precision-guided munitions
PGK
XM25
Propulsion, advanced fuzing and warheads
Medium-caliber gun systems
Missile defense interceptors
Weaponized ISR special mission aircraft
MC-27J
As of April 2014, ATK had a three-year contract with Lockheed to develop a warhead for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System. The contract includes engineering, manufacturing, and development. ATK's work will focus on system performance, warhead qualification, and producibility.
Lake City Army Ammunition Plant
In 2012, ATK was selected by the United States Army to continue operating and maintaining the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) for an additional seven to ten years. The LCAAP is a federally owned facility in Independence, Missouri. It was built by Remington Arms in 1941 to manufacture and test small-caliber ammunition for the army. As of July 2007, the plant produced about 1.5 billion rounds of ammunition per year. The LCAAP still tests ammunition and is the largest producer of small-arms ammunition for the U.S. military. ATK has operated the LCAAP since April 2001.
The United States Army and ATK opened a renovated ammunition production facility at the LCAAP in December 2014. The renovations improved efficiency and quality control. The Army and ATK invested $11 million to modernize "Building 65" for the production of 20 millimeter ammunition. These large caliber rounds are usually fired from automatic cannons mounted on ground vehicles and aircraft. Building 65 housed 20 millimeter round production until 1997, when it was moved to Building 3. About 50 people are employed on this line.
AGM-88E Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile
The AGM-88E Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) is an upgrade to the AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM). The AARGM is the result of cooperation between the United States and Italy. It is produced by ATK. In September 2013, ATK delivered the 100th AARGM to the U.S. Navy. It will be initially integrated onto the FA-18C/D, FA-18E/F, EA-18G, and Tornado ECR aircraft and later on the F-35. The AGM-88E development program was proceeded on schedule and did not exceed its budget.
In August 2014, the United States Navy awarded a full-rate production contract to ATK to produce to AARGM. Under this contract ATK will also provide captive air training missiles for both the United States and Italy. This is the third contract for the AARGM won by ATK and it is worth $96.2 million.
AN/AAR-47 Missile Approach Warning System
The AN/AAR-47 Missile Approach Warning System (MWS) is used on slow moving aircraft such as helicopters and military transport aircraft to notify the pilot of threats and to trigger the aircraft's countermeasures systems. Its main users are the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, but is also operated by other countries. Originally developed by Loral Space & Communications, it has been solely a product of ATK since 2002. The AN/AAR-47 passively detects missiles by their infrared signature, and uses algorithms to differentiate between incoming missiles and false alarms. Newer versions also have laser warning sensors and are capable of detecting a wider range of threats. After processing the nature of the threat, the system gives the pilot an audio and visual warning, and tells the direction of the incoming threat. It also sends a signal to the aircraft's infrared countermeasures system, which can then for example deploy flares. The development of the original AN/AAR-47(V)1 began in 1983 by Loral. ATK became a second production source in the mid 90s and eventually became the primary contractor. In 1998 ATK began production of the improved AN/AAR-47(V)2, which added laser warning functionality.
Precision Guidance Kit
The Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) is a United States Army program to develop a precision guidance system for existing 155 mm artillery shells. The prime contractor is Alliant Techsystems and the project team includes Interstate Electronics Corporation. In operation the PGK will screw into the nose of the projectile much like the existing fuze. However, as well as the fuzing function it will provide a GPS guidance package and control surfaces to correct the flight of the shell. This is analogous to the addition of a Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) tail-kit to a dumb iron bomb, creating a precision guided munition. Production started in 2009.
Bushmaster autocannons
The M242 Bushmaster is a 25 mm (25×137mm) chain-fed autocannon. It is used extensively by the United States and NATO forces in ground combat vehicles and watercraft. Originally, the weapon was designed and manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. It is an externally powered, chain driven, single-barrel weapon which may be fired in semi-automatic, burst, or automatic modes. It is fed by a metallic link belt and has dual-feed capability. The term "chain gun" derives from the use of a roller chain that drives the bolt back and forth. The gun can destroy lightly armored vehicles and aerial targets, such as helicopters and slow-flying aircraft. It can also suppress enemy positions such as exposed troops, dug-in positions, and occupied built-up areas. The standard rate of fire is 200 rounds per minute. The weapon has an effective range of , depending on the type of ammunition used.
The Mk44 Bushmaster II is a 30 mm chain gun also manufactured by ATK. It is a derivative of the 25 mm M242 referenced above and uses 70% of the same parts as the M242. The Mk 44 Bushmaster II is the standard primary armament of the Bionix-II AFV currently in service with the Singapore Army, the KTO Rosomak in Polish service as well as that of the CV90 AFVs in Finnish, Norwegian and Swiss service. Some United States Navy vessels, such as the new San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock are armed with the Bushmaster II for surface threat defense.
The XM813 Bushmaster, also produced by ATK Defense, is based on the Mk44 and is offered as an upgrade for M1126 Stryker and M2 Bradley. Improvements include a one-inch longer barrel, integral mount to increase first round hit probability by up to 10 percent, and dual recoil system to enhance accuracy and cope with future hotter propellants. It can have a next-round select, linkless feed system. The 30 mm chain gun can fire Mk310 Programmable Air Burst Munition rounds to attack targets in defilade. The United States Army Research, Development and Engineering Command helped enhance the XM813 mainly for safety and turret integration. By changing five parts, the gun caliber can be increased to 40 mm. As of November 2013, the XM813 was being tested at Aberdeen Proving Ground.
ATK Sporting
ATK's Sporting Group offered products under several brands for sport-shooting enthusiasts, police, and military customers around the world. In 2015, this group was spun off to form the independent company, Vista Outdoor Inc. Vista Outdoor is publicly traded and headquartered in Utah. The group provided:
Traditional center fire and rim fire rifles, and shotguns
Ammunition for sport shooting, law enforcement, military, and security
Hunting, shooting sports, and outdoor recreation accessories

Jack Jamieson Clayton (born 25 February 1999) is an Australian cricketer who plays for Queensland and the Brisbane Heat as a top-order batter.
Clayton was offered a rookie contract by Queensland ahead of the 2020–21 season, which was renewed for 2021–22.
In May 2022, Clayton was upgraded to a full contract by Queensland.
During December 2021 and January 2022, the 2021–22 Big Bash League cricket tournament was impacted with multiple cases of COVID-19 being reported across several of the competing teams. One of the teams to be severely affected by the outbreak was the Brisbane Heat. As a result, only three players in the Heat's original squad were available for their match against the Melbourne Renegades at the GMHBA Stadium in Geelong on 6 January 2022. With twelve players ruled out of the match due to COVID, the Brisbane Heat assembled a new squad for the match, with as many as ten players in line to make their debut, including Clayton. Therefore, Clayton, along with David Grant, Ronan McDonald, Steve McGiffin, Will Prestwidge and Lachlan Pfeffer all made their Twenty20 debuts in the match for the Heat. In the match, Clayton opened the batting, scoring fifteen runs, including three boundaries.
Clayton is also a talented Australian Rules footballer, having previously played for the Brisbane Lions academy in second tier NEAFL.
He made his first-class debut on 18 February 2022, for Queensland in the 2021–22 Sheffield Shield season.

Sports is the third album by American rock band Huey Lewis and the News, released on September 15, 1983, by Chrysalis Records. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on June 30, 1984, and ultimately charted for 160 weeks. Sports was ranked No. 2 on the Billboard year-end album chart for 1984 and spawned four top-ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Heart and Soul" and "The Heart of Rock & Roll" earning Grammy Award nominations. Sports did very well internationally, where most of its singles charted in the top 40 in multiple countries. The album has been certified 7× Platinum by the RIAA.
Composition
{{quote box|quote=Back in the day you wanted your albums to have a theme, and Sports''' theme was really a collection of singles ... It was really a record for its time. In the 80s, the way radio was programmed, if you didn't have a hit record you weren't going to be able to make any more records. That was it, period. So our priority was to come up with hit singles. Every tune we aimed for radio 'cause we didn't know which one was going to be a hit. We just knew we needed a frickin' hit, period. And fortunately we got 'em.|source=—Huey Lewis; Billboard magazine, 2013|width=25em|align=left|style=padding:8px;}}
"The Heart of Rock & Roll" was developed after the band performed at the Agora Theatre and Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio in 1980, which they had been told was a "great rock & roll town". The following day, Lewis told his bandmates that he felt the heart of rock and roll really was in Cleveland and thought the sentiment would make for a good song, but the band convinced him to slightly alter the lyrics to "the heart of rock & roll is still beating".
"Bad Is Bad" was penned with Lewis' original band, Clover. It was written in the late 1970s while Lewis was working with Thin Lizzy, whose frontman Phil Lynott liked the song so much that he would sing a fast paced version at some of his concerts. Another version of "Bad Is Bad" appeared on Dave Edmunds' album Repeat When Necessary (1979), featuring Lewis on harmonica.
The idea for "I Want a New Drug" came to Lewis during a car ride to his lawyer's office, and he wrote down the majority of the lyrics upon arriving. After Lewis made an unsuccessful attempt to put the idea to music with bassist Mario Cipollina, guitarist Chris Hayes developed new music for the final song on his own.
"Walking on a Thin Line", written by Andre Pessis and former Clover member Kevin Wells, was about the poor treatment of veterans who returned home from the Vietnam War. "Finally Found a Home", inspired by an offhand comment about "ticky-tacky" houses near an airport, later progressed into a song about having a career in the music business. Saxophonist/guitarist Johnny Colla wrote the music for "If This Is It" alone and gave the song to Lewis, who penned the lyrics on a tour bus. "You Crack Me Up", written by Lewis and Cipollina, was based on various people the band had encountered in the parking lot of Uncle Charlie's, a bar the band had frequently performed at before they achieved mainstream success.Sports also contains cover versions of "Heart and Soul", written by the songwriting team of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, and "Honky Tonk Blues", written by Hank Williams.
ProductionSports was self-produced by the band after their manager, Bob Brown, felt the band's own demos were better than the producers they'd been considering. The ethos behind the production of the album was to meld old techniques and instrumentation with modern technology, inspired by hearing the use of a LinnDrum on Steely Dan's 1980 song "Hey Nineteen". The juxtaposition of an old style vocal sound with the modern LinnDrum on "Bad Is Bad" provided guidance for the rest of the album's production.
Lewis's idea to record "I Want a New Drug" with a sequenced bass line and drum machine was initially met with displeasure by both bassist Mario Cipollina and drummer Bill Gibson. The first attempt at this was deemed unsatisfactory and the song was re-recorded with the full band, but after the album was mixed, Lewis decided that both "I Want a New Drug" and "The Heart of Rock & Roll" needed to be re-recorded with sequenced bass and drums, adding a slight tempo increase in the process. The band initially used a kick drum to create the simulated heartbeat sound for "The Heart of Rock & Roll" but were unhappy with the results, so engineer Jim Gaines and keyboardist Sean Hopper spent six hours developing a new heartbeat sound using various other means. Lewis later referred to the album's production style as "cut and paste, put together piece by piece".
Lewis approached Gaines with the idea to record "Heart and Soul", which they initially thought was an unreleased song. Gaines later recalled that, while the band was working on the song, an engineer mentioned that it had already been covered by both Exile and the BusBoys. Although the band's recording was ultimately finished, it was initially shelved. However, Lewis later recalled hearing the BusBoys recording their version in an adjacent studio, and that he'd decided his version with the News "had merit" and was "maybe a little better". It eventually became the album's first single. "Honky Tonk Blues" was an attempt to cover the Hank Williams song in the style of Status Quo, and Lewis later stated that Hank Williams Jr. complimented the News on their rendition.
Brown became concerned about Sports being promoted properly when the band's label, Chrysalis Records, fired much of its production staff. As a result, the band made a decision to withhold the finished record from the label until the issues were resolved.
Title and artwork
The title of the album was a play on the band's name. The cover art features a photo of the band at the 2 AM Club, a bar located in Mill Valley, California, where the band had performed during its early days. A bar was chosen for the shoot because the band reasoned that most people watched televised sporting events in bars.
Release and commercial receptionSports was released on September 15, 1983.
The lead single, "Heart and Soul", peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The album's second release, "I Want a New Drug", turned out to be the band's second best-selling single, peaking at number 6 on the Hot 100 and eventually being certified gold in 1989, with sales of 1 million copies (although this would be considered platinum by modern single certification standards). The third single from the album, "The Heart of Rock & Roll", continued the band's success, peaking at number 6 on the Hot 100.
In June 1984, Sports hit number 1 on the Billboard 200 and would ultimately spend 160 weeks on the charts. The fourth single from the album, "If This Is It", was released shortly thereafter, peaking at number 6 on the Hot 100. The fifth and final single from the album, "Walking on a Thin Line", was released in December 1984 and peaked at number 18.Sports was the second biggest selling album on Billboard's 1984 end-of-year sales chart, after Michael Jackson's Thriller. "Heart and Soul" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal by a Group at the 26th Annual Grammy Awards in 1984, while "The Heart of Rock & Roll" was nominated for Record of the Year at the 27th Annual Grammys in 1985. Sports charted in the top 40 in many countries outside the United States, including Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. On July 20, 1987, the Recording Industry Association of America certified the album 7× Platinum for sales exceeding 7 million units.
Music videos were created for the singles "Heart and Soul", "I Want a New Drug", "The Heart of Rock & Roll", "If This Is It" and "Walking on a Thin Line". The band later filmed a music video for "Bad Is Bad" on the streets of San Francisco in March 1985, although the song was not released as a single.
"I Want a New Drug" became the focus of a lawsuit against artist Ray Parker Jr., who was accused of plagiarizing the song for his 1984 hit, "Ghostbusters". The case was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, although Parker later countersued Lewis for breach of a confidentiality agreement, after Lewis discussed the lawsuit on VH1's Behind the Music in 2001.
Legacy
The album is critiqued by the character Patrick Bateman in both the book (1991) and film (2000) versions of American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. According to Bateman, Sports marks the point in the band's career in which they "really came into their own, commercially and artistically." In 2013, Lewis, along with "Weird Al" Yankovic, parodied this scene in a video for Funny or Die, wherein Lewis mirrors Bateman's character and chats with Yankovic about American Psycho.
On May 10, 2013, Huey Lewis and the News embarked upon a Sports 30th Anniversary Tour, in which they performed the album in its entirety, as well as other songs. On May 14, a two-disc 30th Anniversary Edition of Sports was released, featuring the remastered album in addition to archival live versions of every song on the album.

Media diving is underwater diving in support of the media industries, including the practice of underwater photography and underwater cinematography outside of normal recreational interests. Media diving is often carried out in support of television documentaries, such as the BBC series Planet Earth or movies, with feature films such as Titanic and The Perfect Storm featuring underwater photography or footage. Media divers are normally highly skilled camera operators who use diving as a method to reach their workplace, although some underwater photographers start as recreational divers and move on to make a living from their hobby.
Equipment in this field is varied with scuba and surface supplied equipment used, depending on requirements, but rebreathers are often used for wildlife related work as they are normally quiet, release few or no bubbles and allow the diver a lengthy bottom time with a reduced risk of frightening off the subject.
Applications and scope of work
Media diving is professional underwater photography and filming, and related underwater work, often in support of television documentaries or films with underwater footage. Media divers are likely to be skilled camera operators who trained as divers to expand the scope of their operations, though some have started as recreational divers and later turned professional.
Media divers are the diving personnel who are employed or contracted in support of underwater media work, and include photographers, camera operators, sound and lighting technicians, journalists and presenters. They are not the divers who may be needed to prepare the underwater location using engineering and construction skills and equipment, or the use of explosives, which is classified as commercial diving work. In jurisdictions where media diving is considered commercial diving work this distinction falls away, but the code of practice to be followed may still differ according to the actual work of the dive.
The media diver will prepare, clean, and maintain recording equipment such as high definition video cameras in underwater housings, with special underwater lighting, and remote cameras, plan and research dives and expeditions, dive, and shoot footage. Additional tasks commonly include maintaining generators, compressors, diving gear, boats and other diving support equipment. Rebreather skills may be necessary to reduce the impact of diver presence on wildlife, as open circuit scuba is noisy. Remotely operated underwater vehicles may be used for access to depths beyond those accessible to divers.
A safety diver is required whenever performers are in the water or the action requires performers to fall into the water.
Qualification and registration
The qualifications legally required for media diving vary considerably across the world. In some jurisdictions the occupation is simply considered to be an aspect of professional diving, and as it is an activity of employment, the practice falls under occupational health and safety legislation. In other countries there is no legislation specifying requirements.
The UK HSE recognises the risks associated with media diving by issuing a code of practice for media diving, and requires media divers to have an approved qualification appropriate to the specific equipment to be used during an operation.
The requirements for actors and performers taking part in a recording session or live performance may differ from those for media divers, and may include recreational diving certification, for example to EN 14153-3/ISO 24801-3 Level 3 "Dive Leader" In such operations the performers may not be included as part of the diving team for safety purposes.
Procedural requirements
As is the case for other professional diving, the diving contractor may be required to keep an operations logbook in which certain information on the diving operation is recorded. Such information would usually include details of the diving contractor, the members of the dive team, the site location, water and weather conditions, the dive profile, the purpose of the dive, equipment used, and any reportable incidents that may have occurred during the dive. A diving project plan will be drawn up by the diving contractor based on information provided by the client, and will include a risk assessment and a detailed plan for the diving operations.
Legal status
The Australian/New Zealand Standard 2299 Occupational diving operations; Part 4: Film and photographic diving covers media diving in those countries, and provides requirements and guidance for producers, contractors and employees.
In the UK the status of media diving and the required qualification are specified in Media diving projects: Diving at Work Regulations 1997: Approved Code of Practice and guidance, and Diving at Work Regulations 1997: List of Approved Diving Qualifications
In South Africa, media diving is considered to be a branch of commercial diving, and requires the same qualifications for the same mode and depth range.

Lelant Saltings railway station () was opened on 27 May 1978 to provide a park and ride facility for visitors to St Ives, Cornwall, England. It is situated on the A3074 road close to the junction with the A30 near the foot of the hill up to Lelant village. The park and ride facility closed in June 2019, replaced by a new one at nearby St Erth railway station, but the Saltings station remains open with a very limited service of trains.
History
The station was opened by British Rail on 27 May 1978 and had a car park for 300 vehicles. A return ticket to St Ives cost £0.60. Cornwall County Council provided £35,000 to build the car park and Penwith District Council paid £15,000 to build the platform. During the first summer nearly 136,000 people were carried from the station, with 3,000 cars using the car park in peak weeks. Nearly 40% of users surveyed said that they would not have visited St Ives if the park and ride was not available. The park and ride closed in June 2019 when a new facility opened at St Erth Station.
Description
The station is north of St Erth and faces the Hayle Estuary. There is just a single platform built from pre-cast concrete components, which is on the left of trains arriving from St Erth.
St Ives Town F.C. play their football matches on a pitch at The Saltings next to the station.
Services
All trains are operated by Great Western Railway. Until May 2019, the station was served by two trains per hour between St Erth and St Ives.
Since May 2019 the station is served by a 'Parliamentary service' of just one train per day in each direction (calling at 07:56 towards St Ives and at 09:30 towards St Erth). The reduction in service was due to the relocation of the Park and Ride facility to St Erth. As a result of the reduction in services, Lelant, which previously had a very limited service, is now served more frequently.

V1401 Aquilae is a single, semi-regular pulsating star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. It has the designation HD 190390 from the Henry Draper Catalogue, and was formerly designated 64 Sagittarii. The evolutionary status of the star is unclear, and it has been classified as a post-AGB object, a UU Herculis variable, or belonging to the W Virginis variable subclass of the type II Cepheids. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 6.38. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 2,380 light years. It lies 21.5° from the galactic plane.
The variability of this star was announced by W. Strohmeier and associates in 1965. C. Waelkens and M. Burnet in 1985 found an irregular photometric variation with a period of around a month and suggested it is a candidate UU Herculis variable. J. D. Fernie in 1986 confirmed the variability and tentatively identified periods of 28.4 and 11.8 days. He found a very low gravity with shell-like features, suggesting potential mass loss. An analysis of the chemical composition by R. E. Luck and associates in 1990 found a mild enhancement of s-process elements as well as lithium, indicating it may have evolved from a lithium-rich giant.
The stellar classification of V1401 Aql is F2II, matching an F-type bright giant. There is strong evidence that this star belongs to the population II cepheids, and it may be a W Virginis variable. On the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram it lies on the blue (hot) side of the Cepheid instability strip for population II stars. Membership in the UU Herculis variable class seems less likely since it has a relatively normal radial velocity and no infrared excess has been detected. The pulsation period of 28.6 days has been confirmed, but the pulsational behavior of this star is complex and it is not successfully modeled using a simple harmonic radial pulsation.
The star is strongly metal deficient by a factor of 40, meaning the abundances of higher mass elements is much lower than in the Sun. There is a mild enhancement of s-process elements, although this is not considered to be intrinsic. Some investigators have suspected the star to be in an evolutionary stage following the asymptotic giant branch, but this is not confirmed based on chemical abundances.

The Saint Nicholas Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox monastery located on Chernecha Hora (monk's hill) in Mukachevo, Ukraine. It belongs to the jurisdiction of Eparchy of Mukachevo and Uzhhorod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). It is a female monastery, headed by hegumenia Epistimiya Sherban.
History
The exact date of its founding is unknown, though some believe it was founded in the late 11th century. In the 14th century the monastery was under the patronage of Fedir Koriiatovych. In 1491 it was made the seat of the Eastern Orthodox Eparchy of Mukachevo that had jurisdiction was the whole of Transcarpathia. In 1537, the monastery was burned during war though it was rebuilt soon after with permission of Emperor Ferdinand I. After the Union of Uzhhorod in 1646, the monastery joined the Greek Catholic Basilian monastic order. From then on the archimandrite was also the superior general of the order in Transcarpathia. The bishop's residence was transferred to Mukachiv in 1751, but the monastery remained the administrative center for the Basilians. During the years 1798–1804 the Saint Nicholas Church was constructed in a Classicist style. In 1862 much of it was again destroyed by fire, but rebuilt within three years.
The monastery ran a school and library which became important to the cultural and religious life of the region. It also maintained contacts with the Eastern Orthodox of the Balkans and eastern Europe. Hegumen Anatol Kralytsky was a prominent Transcarpathian writer in the 19th century.
In the 1920s, the monastery was restructured and reforms were introduced by Basilian monks from Galicia. In 1946 the Soviet regime liquidated the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, and the monastery was forced to become Eastern Orthodox. All of the monks refused to convert and were exiled. The collection of over 6,000 rare books and manuscripts and its archives were transferred to local museums and archives. The monastery was transformed into a convent for Orthodox nuns from other monasteries that were closed by the Soviets. At present there are about seventy Orthodox nuns housed in the monastery.

Ibolya Dávid (born 1954 in Baja, Hungary) is a Hungarian lawyer, politician, she was the president of the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF) between 1999 and 2010. Dávid was the Hungarian Minister of Justice between 1998 and 2002. She was the only female Minister in the government of Viktor Orbán. After the MDF fraction was disbanded, Dávid was a member of the Hungarian Parliament as an independent. Dávid made the controversial decision to nominate Lajos Bokros, a former minister in Gyula Horn's MSZP government, to the European Parliament election on the MDF party list which led to some members leaving the party.
In the 2010 parliamentary election the Hungarian Democratic Forum continued its downward trend and missed the 5% electoral threshold, leaving it shut out of parliament. Ibolya Dávid resigned on 11 April 2010, after the first round. Károly Herényi became her acting successor.

Chitalishte "Hristo Botev 1884" () is a chitalishte, or cultural center, situated in the town of Botevgrad, western Bulgaria. It was founded in 1884 by a group of local teachers under the name Chitalishte “Progress". Among them were Dimitar Tsokov, Nikola Cholakov, Georgi Petrov. They distributed books, newspapers and magazines, organized readings and lectures.
History
Though founded in 1884, four years later its activities were discontinued for a short time. Its activities as a cultural center were restored in 1891 by young graduates from the newly established Sofia University, among them Petar Ilchev, Petar Tsenov, Dimitar Todorovski, Iliya Benchev, Hristo Yotov. That same year, the Amateur Theater began to function.
Several years later, a group of young people created an educational society called "Awakening", which opened a new chitalishte. They arranged dinners, lectures, shows in the local school where they adapted a theatrical salon and a stage. A mixed and a church choir and an orchestra were established at this chitalishte. In 1904, when the notable Bulgarian poet Stamen Panchev returned to the town, its members reached up to 180 people. In 1906, "Awakening" stopped functioning, sold his property and established a fund for the construction of a building for the chitalishte. The idea was realized years later. A meeting of a group of citizens and teachers was organized on 21 February 1921, and a committee was commissioned to construct the edifice. The municipality granted the construction site free of charge near the Botevgrad Clock Tower and took a loan of BGN 400,000 to fund the building. Construction commenced on 9 October 1921, and about two years later the building was finalized with the voluntary work of town residents.
On 3 February 1924 the new edifice was officially inaugurated. The new cultural and educational center was established, a new statute was adopted and Board of Trustees was elected. The new chitalishte was named after the great Bulgarian poet and revolutionary Hristo Botev (1848-1876). It quickly became the center of a diverse cultural activity. Local and guest lecturers, such as Asen Zlatarov presented various lectures, reports and papers. In 1926 a cinema machine was purchased and installed. Renown opera singers and composers, such as Christina Morfova, Anya Prokopova, Alexander Raichev performed at the chitalishte.
The cultural center had its own orchestra. In 1934, a "people's university" was opened and lectures were held twice a week. The number of the cultural center members increased steadily. A 1947 report indicated that its members were 705, of whom 476 were men and 229 were women. In the late 1960s, the old building was demolished. The new building was officially inaugurated on 27 September 1973. In 1981 the library was moved to a specially constructed edifice. The library at Chitalishte "Hristo Botev 1884" owns 83,341 volumes of books, periodicals, audiovisual documents, notes and cartographic publications, etc.
Activity
Chitalishte Hristo Botev 1884 is an established and authoritative public institution with a leading place in the cultural life of Botevgrad Municipality. A wide range of cultural, educational, information and leisure activities attract the inhabitants, regardless of their age and social status. The festivals and the events organized by the chitalishte are widely known and highly appreciated by the citizens. There are dance folk ensembles, dance groups of different genres, singing groups, theater and majorettes formations with more than 550 participants in various forms organized in 16 teams. Many of them participate in many international festivals, national events, national television programmes and concerts. The cultural activities cover almost all genres.
The cultural center organizes most of the festivals in the town and the municipality, mainly with the participation of the local amateur groups, as well as with visiting professional groups. These include Christmas and Easter festivals, Children's Book Week, the Month of Culture, celebrations of the National Holiday and the Day of Botevgrad, anniversary celebrations. Chitalishte Hristo Botev 1884 organizes visits of many theaters from different parts of the country, concerts of classical and popular music, folk ensembles and others.
The Mixed Urban Choir was established in 1912 by the poet and patriot Stamen Panchev bears his name. Over the years distinguished conductors such as Gr. Sokolov, Iv. Dimitrov, Topalov, Antoniy Zhivkov, Petar Petrov, Ivan Neshkov have worked with the choir. In the last ten years the conductor is Tatyana Tsonkova. The choir is a laureate of republican festivals of amateur art and has won gold medals. In 2002, on the occasion of its 90th anniversary and under the leadership of Valentin Ganchev, the Mixed Urban Choir "Stamen Panchev" was awarded the Botevgrad Medal of Honour.
The Children's Choir was established in 1977 by Bonka Golemanova. It has won many competitions in the country and abroad. Its repertoire is varied - from classical choral samples to modern works of Bulgarian folklore and choir songs by the most famous contemporary composers. The current conductor of the choir is Boryana Neshkova, the co-rehearser is Silvia Mladenska; both were among its first members.
The Folk Dance Ensemble Botevgrad was founded in 1963 at the Trade Union House of Culture. Its beginning, creative development and activity are related to Vasil Terziyski. The ensemble has achieved great success and has won numerous awards. With its high performance level and rich repertoire of more than 25 productions, Folk Dance Ensemble Botevgrad has performed successfully in the country and abroad.
The creative activity of the other folklore ensemble for songs and dances "Botevgradska mladost", with artistic director Vesela Bozhkova, is also fruitful. The ensemble has participated in numerous concert programmes and international festivals in Bulgaria and abroad, where it has won a number of awards.
The Amateur Theater is also distinguished. In its long history the theater has made dozens of plays by Bulgarian and foreign authors. The theater has been largely successful both in the city and nationwide. The professional directors and actors Georgi Assenov, Petar Alexandrov, Vasil Mirchovski and Veselin Valkov create their own productions.
The Youth Brass Band, conducted by Konstantin Gaydarski, has a well-deserved place in the activity of the cultural center. The band has won awards at prestigious festivals in France and Spain. Together with the majorette groups, it participates at festivals in different European countries every year. The majorette groups and their choreographer and leader Ivanka Hristova are among the most sought-after ensembles in the country.

Shashank Khaitan is an Indian film writer, director, actor and producer who works in Hindi films. He is known for his association with Dharma Productions.
Khaitan made his directorial debut with Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and went on to direct its spiritual sequel Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017). His work on the latter earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Director. He also directed the romantic drama Dhadak (2018) and a segment of the anthology film Ajeeb Daastaans (2020). In 2019, he became a producer for Dharma Productions, his first production being Good Newwz.
Early life
Khaitan was born in Calcutta and raised in Nashik, Maharashtra, in a Marwari business family. Khaitan was initially more interested in sports, playing in cricket and tennis tournaments. At the age of 17, he decided to pursue a career in entertainment. He started off as a dance instructor. He soon moved to Mumbai. Khaitan joined Whistling Woods International Institute, a film institute started and supported by veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai, to break into the film industry. He credits the institute with giving him the technical background. While at Whistling Woods, Khaitan worked on his first attempted film, Sherwani Kahaan Hai, with some of his fellow students, but it was not successfully completed.
In 2008, Khaitan starred as Manohar in Roorkee By-Pass, a 22-minute drama directed by Arundhati Sen Verma, and assisted on the set of Ghai's films Black & White and Yuvvraaj. He also made a brief appearance in Disney's ABCD 2, a sequel to the dance-drama ABCD: Any Body Can Dance.
Career
Khaitan made his directional debut with the romantic comedy Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. His initial plan with Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania was to make it a story of two con artists, similar to Bunty Aur Babli but the script eventually became a story of flirtatious Punjabi boy who engages in a romantic affair with an engaged Punjabi woman. After finishing the first draft of his script, then with the title Humpty Sharma Di Love Story, Khaitan sent it to Dharma Productions which approved producing it with a first time writer-director at the helm. Khaitan cited Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) and Casablanca as inspiration for his script, and the film itself pays homage to DDLJ as well as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The film was released on 11 July 2014 to positive critical reception and earned over worldwide.
Khaitan's next director venture was the romantic comedy Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017)which reunited hm with Bhatt and Dhawan. It tells the story of an independent young woman (Bhatt) who refuses to conform to patriarchal expectations from her chauvinistic fiancée (Dhawan). Rachel Saltz of The New York Times took note of the film's statement on gender equality. The film proved to be commercial successes, earning over at the box office. It earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Director.
in 2017, Khaitan co-wrote the screenplay and dialogue for the Hindi adaptation of John Green's 2012 novel The Fault in Our Stars with the intent to direct it for Dharma Productions with Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter as leads. However, after the production house opted out of the film, he eventually went on to direct them instead in Dhadak, a remake of Marathi film Sairat (2016) which released the following year. While Dhadak received negative reviews from film critics for glossing over the subject of caste-based discrimination and for being a poor remake of the original, it emerged as a commercial success with worldwide earnings of over .
Khaitan turned producer for Dharma Productions with the comedy Good Newwz (2019), which emerged as one of highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2019 and the horror thriller Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship (2020). In 2021, he directed a segment titled Majnu in the Netflix anthology Ajeeb Daastaans.
Khaitan has completed working on the Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar starter, a comedy thriller titled Govinda Naam Mera which is set to release on 10 June 2022. His next directorial project, Bedhadak, has also been announced. A film that he will also write and produce.

Te Uru Rākau – New Zealand Forest Service is the agency within the Ministry for Primary Industries that is responsible for the New Zealand forestry sector. It is headquartered in Rotorua.
It was re-established in 2018 after previously existing from 1919 to 1987.
History
The New Zealand Forest Service was originally established in 1919 as the State Forest Service. The State Forest Service changed its name to the New Zealand Forest Service in 1949, at about the same time that the Forests Act of 1949 passed through Parliament.
The New Zealand Forest Service was responsible for the management of New Zealand's state-owned forests, including forestry, conservation and recreational functions, and was abolished in 1987. The Ministry of Forestry was the government agency responsible for forestry policy until its merger with the Ministry of Agriculture (into the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry) in 1998. That ministry became part of the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) in 2012.
Te Uru Rākau – New Zealand Forest Service was established as a business unit within MPI in May 2018.
Abolition
The New Zealand Forest Service was abolished in 1987.
Its environmental and conservation functions were taken over by the newly established Department of Conservation.
The logging operation and associated land was passed into the Forestry Corporation of New Zealand.
The policy advice, biosecurity functions and remaining Crown forests on leased Māori land passed to the Ministry for Primary Industries.
The logging operations and some land was sold, or leased to private logging companies in what were described as Crown Forest licences, under the management of Land Information New Zealand (LINZ).
The New Zealand Forest Research Institute remained as a new state-owned institute, later re-branded as Scion (Crown Research Institute)
Special Areas
Responsibility for the Crown's production forests on the West Coast operation passed onto Timberlands West Coast Limited in 1990.
Crown Forests
In 1987 the NZ Forest Service was disbanded and the New Zealand Government began selling Forest assets. The majority of forests were sold between 1990 and 1992, with the SOE Forestry Corporation of New Zealand sold in 1996.
In order to offset against future Waitangi Tribunal Claims the Crown (public/government) retained ownership of the land, and sold a licence to fell the trees to a commercially operated forestry company. These forestry companies operated under what is known as Crown Forest Licences. The Crown Forestry Rental Trust works to
expedite the settlement of Māori claims against the Crown, which involve or could involve Crown forest licensed lands.
Recreation provisions in Crown Forest Licences
Crown licensed forests contain limited recreational access, to reflect the historic public access in New Zealand forests and the continued Crown ownership. It is a commonly held belief in New Zealand that all Crown Forests are open to the public for any recreation. The Crown Forest Licences usually only provide for public access for walkers.
Recreational access may be provided for through Section 7, Public Access Easements or Appendices which set out "Continuing Recreational Use" for organisations (clubs) within the control of the Licensee (and with the ability for the licensee to charge for use). In practice, the licensed tree harvesting companies frequently breach these contracts, and LINZ does little or nothing to enforce the licence conditions on behalf of the public, nor rectify these breaches.
Anyone can obtain a copy of a Crown Forest Licence from LINZ. On each licence, Section 6 sets out the conditions for Public Entry.
Waiuku Forest
In 1966, the Crown entered into a 100-year mining licence with New Zealand Steel to extract iron sand. Trees are cleared before mining can start so a large area of the forest is not planted and is unavailable for public access. Once mining is complete over an area, mine tailings are re-spread and the area replanted. One of the last remaining Crown Forests, Waiuku offers a wide range of free recreational opportunities to the Auckland, and Waikato communities.
Relaunch
The New Zealand Forest Service was relaunched by the Labour–NZ First Coalition Government as Te Uru Rākau on 11 May 2018.

Jean Molinet (1435 – 23 August 1507) was a French poet, chronicler, and composer. He is best remembered for his prose translation of Roman de la rose.
Born in Desvres, which is now part of France, he studied in Paris. He entered the service of Charles, Duke of Burgundy from 1463, becoming secretary to Georges Chastellain; in 1464 he wrote La complainte de Grece, a political work presenting the Burgundian side in current affairs. He replaced Chastellain as historiographer in 1475, and he was also the librarian of Margaret of Austria. His chronicle covered the years 1474 to 1504, and was only published in 1828 after being edited by J. A. Buchon. It is considered inferior to Chastellain's chronicle, possessing less historical value.
He was the head of a Burgundian school of poetry called the Grands Rhétoriqueurs, characterised by their excessive use of puns. His nephew Jean Lemaire de Belges spent some time with him at Valenciennes, and Lemaire considered himself a disciple of the elder writer.
In 1501 he became canon of the church of Notre-Dame in Valenciennes, and he died there on 23 August 1507.
Molinet was also a composer, although only one work, the rondeau Tart ara mon cueur sa plaisance, can be reliably attributed to him; however, this work, an early chanson for four voices (most were for three), was extremely popular, as evidenced by the wide distribution of copies. He is also remembered for the elegy he wrote on the death of Johannes Ockeghem, Nymphes des bois, set by Josquin des Prez as part of his renowned motet La déploration sur la mort de Johannes Ockeghem. Of other contemporary composers, both Antoine Busnois and Loyset Compère carried on correspondence with him.
Historian Johan Huizinga quotes some anti-clerical lines of Molinet's from a series of wishes for the New Year: "Let us pray God that the Jacobins/May eat the Augustinians,/And that the Carmelites may be hanged/With the cords of the Minorites."

In February–March 2013 several European countries, including Romania, Serbia, Croatia reported nationwide contamination of milk for human consumption (and possibly of derivative products) with aflatoxins. The details are still scarce.
It was reported in March that feed originating from Serbia and imported in the Netherlands and Germany was contaminated. It was also reported in March that tests revealed contamination in milk produced by two Dutch farms. Milk in Germany was also tested but so far is reported as not tainted. Nevertheless, Russia announced it would ban imports from the German farms that received contaminated feed. On March 20, Romanian farmers dumped milk in protest after the government banned milk from five farms, which remain unnamed. Danone Romania also withdrew some 75 tons of milk products from the shelves.
The European Commissions' Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) has reported 10 notifications of aflatoxin B1 in maize of European origin since the last maize harvest in autumn 2012. In the 10 years prior to the last harvest—between 2001 and 2011—a total of nine cases of aflatoxins were reported in maize. Aflatoxins have been mainly an "import problem" up to now. However, global warming is increasingly affecting the mycotoxin map in Europe, producing "tropical toxins" within Europe's borders.
In Serbia the contamination turned into a political scandal after the government raised the internal milk contamination standards to tenfold of those from the EU. This higher limit however is the one practiced in the United States and two-thirds of the world.
On February 22, The Iowa Department of Agriculture found elevated Aflatoxin concentrations in dog food manufactured at a Pro-Pet facility in Kansas City, KS. The corn component of the dog food was reportedly contaminated with aflatoxins, though the contributing corn load passed screening at the facility. There are no reports of milk infestation in Iowa.

KXHT (Hot 107.1) is a mainstream urban radio station licensed to Marion, Arkansas and serves the Memphis, Tennessee, area. The Flinn Broadcasting outlet operates at 107.1 MHz with an ERP of 2.75 kW. The station's studios are located in Southeast Memphis, and the transmitter site is in West Memphis, Arkansas along the west shore of the Mississippi River.
History
The station began targeting the Memphis area in the late 1980s with an All-Blues format. In 1996 it flipped to a Mainstream Urban direction, but it wouldn't be until 1997 when it shifted to a Rhythmic Contemporary Hits direction and adopted the KXHT calls and the "HOT 107.1" moniker. Today the station focuses mostly on Hip-Hop product (they phased out most of the vocal-driven R&B hits, especially the slow songs), complete with non-stop mixes and capitalizing on the Southern Rap genre, especially the Crunk tracks.
In August 2006, Nielsen BDS had moved KXHT from the Rhythmic Airplay panel to the Urban Contemporary Airplay panel, but by May 2007 it placed the station back on the Rhythmic panel, as their direction and playlists reflected what was currently being played on the BDS-monitored Rhythmic chart rather than Urban. By April 2014, BDS returned KXHT to the R&B/Hip-Hop panel after adjusting its playlist and direction.

The F67 type, also known as the Tourville class was a class of large high-sea (blue water) Frigates of the French Navy specialised in anti-submarine warfare. They had anti-air and anti-surface capabilities.
Between 1994 and 1996, Tourville and De Grasse were refitted with the modern SLASM anti-submarine system, and active Very Low Frequency (VLF) sonar.
Design
The ships are an enlarged version of the frigate Aconit. They have two shaft steam turbine machinery and a double hangar for two Lynx WG13 helicopters. They were the first ships fitted with the marine version of the Crotale surface-to-air missile system. A Malafon anti-submarine missile system was fitted when the ships were built but this was removed during refits in the late 1980s.
Optimized for anti-submarine warfare, and carrying towed as well as hull-mounted sonar arrays, the Tourvilles were typically placed in the destroyer category of warship and carry destroyer pennant numbers. Similar in many regards to the unmodified destroyers, they carried a similar combination of sensors, naval guns, anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons, aircraft and surface-to-air missiles. Additionally, they were well-regarded for their seakeeping, serving much of their careers in the Atlantic rather than with France's Mediterranean fleet.
Ships
The three ships of the class, D612 De Grasse, D611 Duguay-Trouin and D610 Tourville, are named major figures from French naval history. De Grasse and Tourville were French admirals and Duguay-Trouin coming to fame as a privateer.
The three ships of the class were all constructed by Arsenal de Lorient.

Clipped is an American sitcom that aired on TBS from June 16 to August 18, 2015. The series stars Mike Castle and Ashley Tisdale and centers on a group of co-workers who all went to high school together but ran in very different crowds. Now they find themselves working together at Buzzy's, a barbershop. On October 23, 2015, TBS canceled the series after one season.
Premise
Clipped takes place in a Charlestown, Massachusetts barbershop called Buzzy's, named after the original owner (George Wendt) who still works there. The shop's new owner is Ben (Ryan Pinkston), an unpopular student during high school who now finds himself in charge of some formerly more popular classmates. These include AJ (Mike Castle) and Danni (Ashley Tisdale), who once dated each other and who are both chasing bigger dreams. AJ was a star pitcher on the school's baseball team and still hopes to play professionally, while Danni is an aspiring singer. The rest of the staff consists of Ben's best friend Mo (Matt Cook), sarcastic stylist Charmaine (Diona Reasonover), and perpetually cheerful receptionist Joy (Lauren Lapkus).

Development
In May 2013, Turner Broadcasting held its annual upfront presentation. Turner Broadcasting announced it was developing a series on TBS with the working title of Clipsters. With David Kohan and Max Mutchnick as writers and executive producers, the series would be an ensemble workplace comedy that involved an eclectic cast of hair stylists at barbershop in Worcester, Massachusetts.
In April 2014, Turner Broadcasting announced that George Wendt, Ashley Tisdale, and Lauren Lapkus would star in the series. The series was now considered untitled. The series' premise involved a group of former high school students who came from different circles, and now work together at Buzzy’s Barbershop in their hometown of Charlestown, Massachusetts. They all long for moving to Boston, but they are making the best of their lives in Charlestown.
On May 6, 2014, TBS, ahead of its upfront presentation in New York, picked up three comedies to series. TBS announced it had greenlit ten episodes. The series was then named Buzzy's.
The series, titled Clipped, premiered on June 16, 2015.
It aired for one season.

Critical reception
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 43% approval rating, with a rating average of 6/10, based on 7 reviews. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the series has a score of 55 out of 100, based on 5 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
In a positive review, Diane Werts of Newsday awarded the pilot a grade of a B+ and stated, "There's also a lot of craft behind "Clipped." That finally tips the scales in the Turner cable world, where TNT has found success with slick dramas like "Rizzoli & Isles" and "Major Crimes," while comedy sibling TBS more often seems to whiff. Not this time". Similarly, Whitney Matheson of The Hollywood Reporter commended the cast's chemistry: "Clipped’s charm lies in distinctive performances by Lapkus and Cook. Just as Wendt and Tisdale will attract their own admirers, so will these two comedians, whether it’s for Lapkus’ Orange Is the New Black role or the actors' respective podcasts". Conversely, Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe criticized the show as "forgettable — if not unpleasant", citing that the elements of "Clipped" might have "resonated and felt fresher" if Will & Grace hadn’t preceded it.

Clifford Chester Sims (June 18, 1942 – February 21, 1968) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of America's highest military decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.
Biography
Sims was born Clifford Pittman but was orphaned at an early age. After briefly living in an abandoned school bus and with relatives, he was adopted by James and Irene Sims, at the age of 13. He met his later wife, Mary, at George Washington High School and joined the Army from Jacksonville, Florida shortly after graduation. He moved to Fort Bragg and married Mary on December 25, 1961.
In August 1967, Sims moved to Fort Campbell, Kentucky to join Company D, 2nd Battalion (Airborne), 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. By February 21, 1968 he was serving as a staff sergeant. On that day, during an engagement with enemy forces near Huế in the Republic of Vietnam, Sims threw himself onto a triggered booby-trap device. He was killed in the ensuing explosion, but was successful in protecting the members of his squad.
Official eye witness reports of the incident report that:
Before the squad reached their destination they encountered a bunker, and SSG Sims took it upon himself to see if it was empty. As he moved forward a booby trap went off and everybody froze. But SSG Sims shouted a warning then dove on it, fatally wounding him. However he had covered the blast with his own body, and thus saved the lives of those in the area."
[Sims] also saved his squad by moving them quickly out of the way of a house filled with ammunition which was burning. Just as he got his men away the house blew up. Then on moving toward a bunker a booby trap was set off, and Sgt Sims yelled for everybody to get back, but before they could he threw himself on the device taking the entire blast to save his squad from complete disaster. In so doing he gave up his own life. Each and every man of the 2nd Squad owes his very life to this man, Staff Sergeant Clifford C. Sims.
Clifford Sims, aged 25 at his death, was buried in Barrancas National Cemetery, Pensacola, Florida.
Medal of Honor citation
Rank and organization: Staff Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company D, 2d Battalion (Airborne), 501st Infantry, 101st Airborne Division. Place and date: Near Hue, Republic of Vietnam, February 21, 1968. Entered service at: Jacksonville, Fla. Born: June 18, 1942, Port St. Joe, Fla.
Citation:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. S/Sgt. Sims distinguished himself while serving as a squad leader with Company D. Company D was assaulting a heavily fortified enemy position concealed within a dense wooded area when it encountered strong enemy defensive fire. Once within the woodline, S/Sgt. Sims led his squad in a furious attack against an enemy force which had pinned down the 1st Platoon and threatened to overrun it. His skillful leadership provided the platoon with freedom of movement and enabled it to regain the initiative. S/Sgt. Sims was then ordered to move his squad to a position where he could provide covering fire for the company command group and to link up with the 3rd Platoon, which was under heavy enemy pressure. After moving no more than 30 meters S/Sgt. Sims noticed that a brick structure in which ammunition was stocked was on fire. Realizing the danger, S/Sgt. Sims took immediate action to move his squad from this position. Though in the process of leaving the area 2 members of his squad were injured by the subsequent explosion of the ammunition, S/Sgt. Sims' prompt actions undoubtedly prevented more serious casualties from occurring. While continuing through the dense woods amidst heavy enemy fire, S/Sgt. Sims and his squad were approaching a bunker when they heard the unmistakable noise of a concealed booby trap being triggered immediately to their front. S/Sgt. Sims warned his comrades of the danger and unhesitatingly hurled himself upon the device as it exploded, taking the full impact of the blast. In so protecting his fellow soldiers, he willingly sacrificed his life. S/Sgt. Sims' extraordinary heroism at the cost of his life is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself and the U.S. Army.

The National Public Security Force () was created in 2004 and is headquartered in Brasília, in the Federal District, as a joint cooperation of various Brazilian Public Safety forces, co-ordinated by the National Secretariat of Public Security ( - SENASP), of the Ministry of Justice. It was created during the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, as a concept developed by then Minister of Justice, Márcio Thomaz Bastos.
The National Force is composed of the most qualified civil and military police personnel, military firefighters and experts loaned from each of the states of Brazil. It is deployed in cases of major security crisis to augment local security forces by the request of local authorities.
Command
The Secretary of the SENASP, Police Commissioner of the Brazilian Federal Police, Luiz Fernando Correa, is in overall charge of the Force, while the Colonel of the Military Police of Acre, José Américo de Souza Gaia, has operational and direct control of the force.
Training
The National Force is composed of men of the Brazilian Military Police of the various states of Brazil, in coordination with the Secretary of Public Security of each different Brazilian state.
Law enforcement officers receive initially 100 hours of further education, divided in ten days of training. There are classes in human rights, control of civil riots, ostensive policing, crisis management and shooting techniques.
BEPE
The BEPE or Batalhão Especial de Pronto Emprego (Quick Deployment Special Battalion) is the elite unit of National Public Security Force. It is headquartered in Gama, in the Federal District. Its training with elite units of Brazil and abroad allows BEPE to be effectively suited for patrol or police special operations anywhere in the country. The BEPE was established by the Ministry of Justice as the leading and best-trained unit within the Brazilian police to act in emergency situations concerning public safety when the state law enforcement agencies request federal intervention. Urgency, that can be quickly answered, as his quota is effective and not demobilizable, remains in readiness to meet by Situation critical in public safety.
Operations
On different occasions, the National Force was called in the state of Espírito Santo as well as in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, primarily to help contain prison riots. On another occasion, the federal government offered to send the National Force to assist the state of São Paulo against acts of violence organized there, in 2006, again by prisoners against the state public safety forces, but the federal government offer was refused by the state government, as the state claimed control over the prisoners.
The governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Sérgio Cabral Filho asked for support from the National Public Security Force back in 2007 when the state suffered from a wave of attacks by several criminal factions. The Federal Government agreed to send a contingent of about 500 men and 52 vehicles to patrol 19 critical points within the state, primarily within the ''favelas.
The FNSP was called into action in the states of Santa Catarina, Minas Gerais and Bahia in 2013, and in Pernambuco in 2014. In these cases, the force provided strict security measures in these states. It reinforced local police work in Teresina, Piaui, in 2015. In 2016, aside from security duties at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics and the city elections there, detachments of the force were deployed to Rio Grande do Sul and Maranhão, and in the fall of 2017 in Espírito Santo.

Spark plug wires (also called high tension leads) are electrical cables used by older internal combustion engines to transmit high-voltage electricity from the distributor to the spark plugs . Tension in this instance is a synonym for voltage. High tension may also be referred to as HT.
Many modern engines use coil-on-plug ignition, a design that does not use spark plug wires.
Design
Spark plug wires have an outer insulation several times thicker than the conductor, made of a very flexible and heat-resistant material such as silicone or EPDM rubber. The thick insulation prevents arcing from the cable to an earthed engine component. A rubber "boot" covers each terminal. Dielectric grease can be used to improve insulation; a small amount can be applied in the inside of the rubber boot at each end of each wire to help seal out moisture. Printing on spark plug wires may include a brand name, insulation thickness (in millimeters), insulation material type, cylinder number, and conductor type (suppressor or solid wire).
The wire from each spark plug is just long enough to reach the distributor, without excess. Each lead contains only one wire, as the current does not return through the same lead, but through the earthed/grounded engine which is connected to the opposite battery terminal (negative terminal on modern engines). Each end of a spark plug wire has a metal terminal that clips onto the spark plug and distributor, coil, or magneto. There are dedicated spark plug wire pliers, tools designed for removing the terminal from a spark plug without damaging it.
To reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) produced by the spark being radiated by the wires, which may cause malfunction of sensitive electronic systems in modern vehicles or interfere with the car radio, various means in the spark plug and associated lead have been used over time to reduce the nuisance:
Copper conductors (no suppression)
Resistor in spark plug with copper conductor
Compressed carbon powder as conductor in the lead to act as a resistor
Stainless steel wire wound as a coil in the lead with a resistance of about 1300 ohms/meter since 1980s. This acts as an inductor and a resistor
Coil wire
Older ignition systems with a separate ignition coil use a coil wire between the ignition coil and the distributor. A coil wire is of the same construction as a spark plug wire, but generally shorter and with different terminals. Some distributors have an ignition coil built inside them, eliminating the need for a separate coil wire, such as the High Energy Ignition (HEI) system used by General Motors in the 1970s and 1980s.
Some engines instead used multiple ignition coils (one for each pair of cylinders) built into a coil pack, eliminating the need for a distributor and coil wire.
Alternatives
Many modern car engines use coil-on-plug ignition, which eliminates the need for spark plug wires.
Diesel engines do not use spark plugs, and therefore do not use spark plug wires either.

2′-Acetoxycocaine (ortho-acetoxy-cocaine) is a cocaine analog, with a quicker effect onset than cocaine. The acetoxy branch renders the molecule a QSAR of a 4-fold increase over cocaine in its binding potency for the dopamine transporter & a 35-fold enhanced affinity for the norepinephrine transporter. It also has a reduced selectivity for the serotonin transporter (though only due to its greater increase at NET & DAT binding being of such an order of magnitude more by comparison). In overall binding affinity (not uptake inhibition) it displaces ligands better across the board than cocaine in all monoamine categories. Salicylmethylecgonine would be an intermediate metabolite in vivo in humans (therefore affecting the overall effect profile of the administered 2′-acetoxy analog via its metabolic route; giving it nearly three times the affinity for DAT, after onset, and greaten the affinity that is would have for NET by a halve more than on upon initial exposure, after rapid deacetylation.) 2′-Acetoxycocaine has a closer to optimum LogP (a square value of 2) for blood–brain barrier penetration (cocaine being higher and logarithmically four times the optimal lipophilicity allowing too much of the compound to be dumped out directly into fatty tissue instead of reaching its target site) this would make it a prodrug to salicylmethylecgonine due to the latter having a less (and the ortho-acetoxy analog having a more) efficacious LogP than its cocaine parent.

Johnny Lee Jackson (August 28, 1969 – October 3, 2008) was a Mexican-American multi-platinum songwriter, music producer and rapper best known for his early career with Death Row Records, and for his work with 2Pac on Me Against the World and All Eyez on Me, as well as 2Pac's posthumously released albums. He was born in Juárez, Mexico, in 1969 and raised in South Los Angeles. Johnny "J" was co-owner and CEO of Klock Work Entertainment Corp.
Early life
Johnny "J" was raised on 103rd and Budlong in South Central, Los Angeles, by his adoptive parents. His father, John Sr., was a mechanic by trade who worked for the naval shipyards and now works for the U.S. Defense Department. His mother, Lidia, was a bilingual school teacher. His parents bought him a drum set as a kid, and allowed him to create a makeshift studio in their garage.
Johnny's interest in hip-hop escalated while he was at Washington Preparatory High School. He played on the drum line and hit it off with the aspiring rapper Candell "Candyman" Manson; future artists such as Yo-Yo, WC and Sir Jinx, of Da Lench Mob, and F. Gary Gray famed Director also attended Washington Prep around that time, where he played drums in the high school marching band and took music theory classes. Johnny was given a full scholarship to attend The Berklee College of Music (in Boston) wherein he received a full music scholarship, which he declined to accept, in the mid-1980s. After graduating high school in 1987, Johnny got his big break, producing "Knockin' Boots" for Candyman and his entire album "Ain't No Shame In My Game". The song went platinum and reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in summer 1990, pushing Candyman's debut album, Ain't No Shame In My Game, into gold status. Johnny toured the world with Candyman until 1992.
Early in 1992, Johnny "J" married Capucine Cantrell. They have two children together named Zhani and Niamyja and one from a previous relationship, Malaysia. The two had a loving and business relationship, and in 1995 they formed KLOCK WORK Entertainment together. They were married until his untimely death in 2008.
Musical career
Early productions (1989–1992)
In early 1993, Big Syke, a member of 2Pac's group Thug Life introduced Johnny to 'Pac. They quickly gelled, recording "Pour Out a Little Liquor", for the Above the Rim soundtrack, and "Death Around the Corner," which would appear on Me Against the World. The partnership was derailed, though, when Tupac was sent to prison in February 1995. After his release that October, the pair reunited at Can-Am Studios in L.A.. Tupac felt very secure with him in the studio. 2Pac and Johnny J recorded more than a hundred songs together—11 of them, including "How Do U Want It" and "All About U", ended up on All Eyez on Me; the rest composed the bulk of 2Pac's posthumous work. Throughout producer Johnny J's career, he had sold over 100 million albums.
He produced his classmate Candyman's 1989 EP Hip Hop Addict and his 1990 single "Knockin' Boots" for his classmate Candyman's album Ain't No Shame in My Game, which went platinum thanks to the single. He also produced the early work of recording artist Shady Montage who eventually went on to become Shade Sheist.
Tupac Shakur, Death Row Records and solo album (1993–1996)
After the numerous nominations for Candyman, Johnny J met 2Pac and recorded nine tracks with him in three days . Following these recordings Johnny produced "Pour Out a Little Liquor" which appeared on the Above the Rim soundtrack and 2Pac's Thug Life album. The soundtrack eventually went Double Platinum and won the Soundtrack of The Year Award at the 1995 Source Awards.
Johnny produced the track "Death Around The Corner" which ended up on 2Pac's third solo album entitled Me Against The World. That album eventually went to the top of the Billboard 200.
Johnny J recorded and released his debut rap album I Gotta Be Me in 1994, which spawned two singles: "Get Away From Me" and "Dig Um' Out". A music video was shot for "Get Away From Me". Jackson produced the entire album, and even showcased his singing abilities on such tracks as "Love's the Way". The beat for "Better Off" would later be recycled for 2Pac's "Picture Me Rollin in his 1996 album All Eyez On Me. I Gotta Be Me is now out of print and hard to find.
After 2Pac's release in late 1995, the two began collaborating for 2Pac's Death Row Records debut All Eyez On Me. The double album was released early next year, and Johnny J produced the chart topping hits "All Bout U", "How Do U Want It" and "Life Goes On". He also produced "Thug Passion", "Shorty Wanna Be A Thug", "Wonda Why They Call U Bitch", "Run tha Streetz", "All Eyez on Me", "What'z Ya Phone #" and "Picture Me Rollin
The album is one of the most influential albums in hip hop history, and according to the RIAA, nine million copies of the album were sold in the United States alone by June 18, 1998.
According to 2pacworld.com, Johnny J. "co-wrote and helped produce 11 songs on All Eyez on Me and was never paid the $100,000 advance or the per song royalties of 3% he was supposed to receive." This financial dispute has led some to believe Death Row was somehow responsible for his death; preferring to have him killed than to pay royalties which would number in the millions because of the commercial success of 2Pac albums he helped produce.
Miscellaneous ventures (1997–2005)
Prior to Tupac Shakur's death Johnny produced over 150 tracks for the rapper, a great deal of them unreleased. Many of Johnny's collaborations with Shakur ended up being remixed for his posthumous releases such as "Until the End of Time", "Better Dayz", and "R U Still Down? (Remember Me)", while only a select few remained in their original form.
Johnny had composed a few music scores in such films as Gridlock'd. The first artist Johnny collaborated with after 2Pac's death was Bizzy Bone from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. Johnny produced "Thugz Cry" and "Nobody Can Stop Me" off of the Heavenz Movie album, a release that went Platinum.
In 2009 Klock Work Entertainment confirmed that Johnny produced a whole album for Bizzy, but was never released.
Along with Napoleon from the Outlawz and Val Young, Johnny released "Never Forget" in 2004, a tribute song to 2Pac. A music video was shot for the song, and includes many guest appearances from many of Shakur's close friends.
Final years (2006–2008)
In mid-2006, Johnny J premiered a ten-year anniversary Tupac tribute track on a charitable compilation by Mutulu Shakur entitled A 2Pac Tribute: Dare 2 Struggle. The song was written by a new artist working with Klock Work at the time named T-Jay.
In mid-2008, Iranian-Canadian rapper Imaan Faith collaborated with Deejay Ra to release Imaan's debut album Let The Truth Be Known on Universal Music Canada, featuring an opening track with Johnny J entitled "Goin 2 Da Top", which was recorded at Johnny's studio in California in mid-2006.
Johnny J had been recording for most of 2008 with actress/singer Tatyana Ali on her sophomore music album The Light.
DUI arrest and death
On July 27, 2008, Johnny J was arrested in Los Angeles, California and charged with driving while intoxicated.
On October 3, 2008, imprisoned at Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, California while awaiting trial, Johnny allegedly jumped off an upper tier of the prison in an apparent suicide at about 6:45PM. He was found dead 45 minutes later, at the age of 39.

Movie Battles II (MBII) is a team-based multiplayer mod for the 2003 third and first-person shooter game Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. It is a successor of the Movie Battles mod for Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. The primary purpose of the mod is to allow players to experience setpiece battle scenes from the Star Wars films and the Star Wars expanded universe. The gameplay is similar to that of the base game, but builds upon it with several new elements. The mod has been lauded for providing one of the best lightsaber combat experiences out of any Star Wars game.
In Movie Battles II, two teams of up to 16 players compete either to complete certain objectives, or to eliminate all members of the enemy team. Several different game modes are available, most of which feature customisable character classes.
Gameplay
Movie Battles II is a team-based game that allows players to join either the Lights Side of the Force (represented by the Galactic Republic, the Rebel Alliance, or the Resistance, depending on the map) or the Dark Side (represented by the Separatists/CIS, the Galactic Empire, or the First Order). The game incorporates both lightsaber combat and shooter elements, and can be played from either a third- or first-person perspective. The lightsaber combat in Movie Battles has been substantially changed from the original game. There are meters for both force pool and block stamina which deplete as the player intercepts incoming blaster and lightsaber attacks.
Similarly to games like Counter-Strike, Movie Battles uses an objective system, where one team defends and the other one attacks one or more objectives. Objective types are usually variants on common themes, such as "slicing panels", or NPC guarding. Every round, the attacking team must complete their given objective within a given amount of time, while the defending team tries to delay them until the timer runs out; alternatively, each team can win by eliminating all members of the enemy team. Any player who is killed before the end of the round becomes a spectator. They may follow certain players who are still alive or free-roam in the spectator cam, similar to other first-person shooters, such as Battlefield 2.
Besides communicating with other players, the chat is used for voting. Players may vote to change the map or the game mode. The game also incorporates a voice chat, which is used to give quick commands to the rest of the team, such as "Attack", "Defend Position", and "Charge".
Classes
Most game modes in Movie Battles II let players choose between multiple character classes to play as. Players may select iconic Star Wars characters as "skins" for these classes, and are given a limited number of points to upgrade stats and abilities; every class has a different playstyle and a few unique abilities. If playing as Jedi or Sith, players can also customise their lightsaber hilt.
Soldiers - the most basic class, it is available for both the Light Side and the Dark Side. Soldiers are equipped only with a blaster, a pistol and possibly grenades, but can have up to three lives, allowing them to respawn multiple times during the same round.
Elite Troopers / Commanders - a superior version of Soldiers, the Elite Troopers and their Dark Side equivalent, the Commanders, have overall better weapons and stats, but can have only two lives. They can also have a unique ability called "Rally", which allows soldiers to respawn next to them.
Jedi / Sith - Jedi and their Dark Side equivalent, Sith, can use lightsabers and the Force in combat. Both can use their lightsaber to deflect blaster fire or lightsaber strikes, and have Force abilities such as Push (used to push enemies), Pull (used to disarm or pull enemies), Jump (used to jump higher than regular classes and stick to walls), and Sense (used to see allies and enemies through walls and on the map HUD). Jedi can also use Force Speed and Mind Trick, while Sith can use Force Choke and Lightning. All these Force powers, as well as blocking attacks with the lightsaber, cost Force Points to use, which regenerate over time.
Heroes / Bounty Hunters - Heroes and their Dark Side equivalent, Bounty Hunters, are a marksman class. They have the best overall weapons in the game, including a sniper rifle, and can have one or more special abilities. Heroes can quickly dodge incoming blaster fire or lightsaber strikes and heal damage over time, while Bounty Hunters have tracking and poison darts.
Wookiees - A class exclusive to the Light Side, Wookiees can deal high amounts of damage with their melee attacks, killing most enemies with only a few punches. They also have very high HP and a special ability called "Rage", which reduces the amount of damage they receive and the damage they deal for a short time period. Wookiees can also be equipped with weapons like bowcasters and frag grenades.
Clone Troopers - A class exclusive to the Light Side, clone troopers are armed with repeater blaster rifles and a pistol. The rifle can be upgraded into a minigun or to fire ion and electricity blasts, while the pistol can be upgraded to fire bolts that ricochet off walls. Clones can also have one additional life.
Advanced Recon Commandos (ARC Troopers) - A class exclusive to the Light Side, ARC Troopers are a superior version of Clone Troopers. They can have a unique ability called "Dexterity", which allows them to dodge attacks, jump higher, and briefly run on walls, as well as roll instead of being knocked down. The ARC Troopers can be equipped with one or two pistols, a rocket launcher, and a blaster rifle, which can alternatively be converted into a sniper rifle or a grenade launcher.
Mandalorians - A class exclusive to the Dark Side, Mandalorians have jetpacks allowing them to fly until they run out of fuel, and are armed with one or two Westar Pistols and a blaster rifle (which can be converted into a sniper rifle). They can also have a flamethrower, a wrist laser, and a one-use jetpack rocket.
Droidekas - A class exclusive to the Dark Side, Droidekas are equipped with shields and arm-mounted blasters, which have unlimited ammunition, but need to be recharged. While slow in their regular form, they can change into their rolling form to move faster, although this makes them more vulnerable. Droidekas can also discharge their shield, unleashing a shockwave that knocks down all nearby enemies.
Super Battle Droids (SBDs) - A class exclusive to the Dark Side, SBDs are large and slow, but have very high HP and a strong melee attack, with which they can instantly knock down most enemies. Similarly to the Droidekas, they are equipped with arm-mounted blasters. However, SBDs rely very much on their internal battery, which affects both their firepower and damage reduction, making them virtually useless when the battery is depleted. To recharge the battery faster, they can activate the low power mode, but this makes them even slower and unable to fire their weapons. SBDs can also have several unique abilities, such as advanced logic (making them immune to Jedi mind tricks), advanced targeting (giving them a zoom-in option for their blasters), and advanced radar (allowing them to see enemies on the map HUD when in low power mode).
Game modes
Open - the basic game mode of Movie Battles II. Two teams of players (the attackers and the defenders) are pitted against each other, with the attackers attempting to complete a given objective, unique for each map, while the defenders try to stop them until a timer runs out. Alternatively, either team can win by eliminating all members of the opposing force. In this mode, all aforementioned classes are available to play as, and fully customisable.
Duel - this mode's primary purpose is to allow players to recreate iconic duels from the Star Wars saga. Only the Jedi and Sith classes are playable, and players are given three lives. Once a player loses all their lives, they will be able to respawn shortly thereafter with three lives again, thus preventing either side from winning by eliminating the enemy team. Since this mode features no objectives, it is virtually impossible for either side to achieve victory, resulting in rounds lasting for an extended period of time, until the timer runs out.
Full Authentic - a variation of the Open mode, featuring no customisable classes, only specific characters with pre-defined traits. Characters are usually accurate to the map, as the mode's purpose is to allow players to recreate scenarios from the Star Wars saga as they were originally depicted (hence the mode's name). Some characters have unique abilities that can't be found in the Open mode, thus giving them some diversity.
Semi-Authentic - a combination of the Open and Full Authentic modes. While all classes from the Open mode are available to play as and fully customisable, only map-accurate skins can be selected. As a result, the mode plays similarly to the Full Authentic mode, with the exception that players are able to customize their character's abilities.
Legends - a variation of the Full Authentic mode, also featuring characters with pre-defined traits who cannot be customised in any way. The difference is that the characters are not map-accurate, each map featuring the same playable characters, from across all eras of the Star Wars saga.
Development
Movie Battles was started by Richard Hart (online alias RenegadeOfPhunk) in 2003, with the goal of mixing the round- and objective-based gameplay of Counter-Strike with the lightsaber and gun mechanics of Star Wars. The first versions of the mod were developed for Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, the third game in the Jedi Knight series. This version already had the key elements of Movie Battles in it, such as the modified lightsaber combat and the last man standing system. The mod was later remade for Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. A spin-off of Movie Battles II, titled The New Era (TNE), was developed using Source engine, which would have allowed for improved graphics and a better physics engine, but was cancelled in 2013. While meant to be a successor to Movie Battles II, the mod would have been closer to the deathmatch genre. Many members of the development team for TNE were also part of the Movie Battles team. On 2 April 2011, a trailer revealing a sequel was released. Movie Battles 3 was going to be a standalone, free game developed on the Unreal Engine, but due to a general disinterest among developers and the game's community, coupled with the lack of developers willing to stay on board the project to begin with, it was cancelled after a few years in development. Since then, developers have focused on expanding and improving Movie Battles II, with several updates being released every year. The latest update, 1.7.1.1, was released on 23 December 2020.
Reception
In 2005 the UK edition of PC Gamer printed an article covering the mod. In the same year Sky News mentioned Movie Battles alongside other user-made game modifications. It was also mentioned by Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Alec Meer in the sites 2015 list of best Star Wars video games. Of the mod, Meer said the mod was something players should "probably [...] check out." Matthew Znadowicz of Eurogamer Poland called the game's action "unique and fresh", yet noted that battles often became "stressful, intense, but extremely pleasant." As of June 2016, 400 users on the website Mod DB have rated the game with the average score of 9.4.

Robert Rhodes McGoodwin (July 6, 1886 – February 25, 1967) was an American architect and educator, best known for his suburban houses in the Chestnut Hill and Mount Airy sections of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He taught at University of Pennsylvania from 1910 to 1924, and served as a trustee of its School of Fine Arts from 1925 to 1959. McGoodwin was active in the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, serving as its president in 1943.
Early life
He was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and educated in Philadelphia, graduating from Central High School in 1902. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Architecture in 1907, and received an M.A. from Penn in 1908. He won the 1908 Cresson Traveling Scholarship in architecture, which he used to travel in Europe and study in Paris.
Career
Following his return to Philadelphia, he worked briefly for architect Horace Trumbauer. In 1910, he was commissioned by Dr. George Woodward to design about 180 houses in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia until 1930. McGoodwin designed buildings for Woodward at "Cotswold Court," adjacent to Pastorius Park, including attached houses grouped to look like manor houses. He planned "French Village" (1924–29) for Woodward – a luxury housing development on the opposite side of the Cresheim Creek, in Mount Airy – and designed eight of its French-Norman-style buildings, including the gatehouses flanking Emlen Street and the gatehouse at McCallum Street. Additional houses were designed by architects Edmund B. Gilchrist and Willing, Sims & Talbutt.
McGoodwin created a massive Tudor fantasy in the Samuel B. Rotan mansion, "Lane's End," in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. Now better known as the Wharton Sinkler Estate, it was modeled after Sutton Place in Guildford, Surrey. McGoodwin assembled architectural fragments and whole rooms from numerous English buildings: the massive oak front doors were salvaged from Muchelny Abbey and date to 739; the stone-slab floors of the hall were salvaged from Warwick Priory and date to 1124. A village of Tudor buildings – some old, some just built to look old – hid the 20th-century services and housed the staff. Mrs. Wharton Sinkler bequeathed the estate to the University of Pennsylvania in 1971, which operated it as a conference center and wedding venue until 1999. It was sold in 2000 for $2 million. Following $4 million in renovations, it was resold in 2005 for $5.5 million.
In 1931, McGoodwin drew up plans to cloak architect Frank Furness's exuberant, red-sandstone University of Pennsylvania Library (1888–91) in sedate, Collegiate Gothic brick and stone. The first step in this scheme was the Horace Howard Furness Shakespearean Library addition. The scheme never went any further, and his incongruous addition to the library is now the Arthur Ross Gallery.
In 1936, McGoodwin enlarged Penn's student union building, Houston Hall, with a two-story dining hall addition at its east end (now the Hall of Flags) and a student lounge at its west end. He also made alterations to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital following a 1937 fire. McGoodwin also worked briefly for the Philadelphia Housing Authority in the 1930s, and was one of the architects of the Hill Creek Housing Project.
In the 1950s, McGoodwin was commissioned by developer Sam Houston to design single-family homes, duplexes, and apartments for the Andorra development in Roxborough section of Philadelphia.
