1600140 | Conch piercing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conch%20piercing | Conch piercing
piercings are made using a hollow, hypodermic needle, typically around 14g or slightly larger. Most piercers agree that 16g should be the lowest limit for a healthy piercing. Once the hole has been made, straight or curved barbells are most often used during healing, although larger diameter CBRs (captive bead ring) are used as well. Many recipients report a significant amount of pain and soreness with these piercings, especially the inner conch .
## Dermal Punch.
Since stretching is difficult with cartilage, those wishing to attain a larger gauge piercing more easily may opt for a dermal punch. This device functions similarly to a hole puncher for paper. A razor-sharp, circular blade protrudes | 25,200 |
1600140 | Conch piercing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conch%20piercing | Conch piercing
and removes a clean disk of cartilage from the desired area. This procedure is far more common with outer conch piercings due to the area's flatness versus the much more concave shape of the inner conch in most individuals. Several clients describe the pain as comparable to a standard cartilage piercings, with others attesting that it actually hurts less.
# Aftercare.
Conch piercings are cared for just like other piercings in the ear cartilage. Sea salt soaks are recommended twice daily at a minimum to clean the piercing and jewelry, soften dried lymph, partially sterilize the area (via the salt), alleviate soreness and swelling, and promote blood flow to the area with the warm water in order | 25,201 |
1600140 | Conch piercing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conch%20piercing | Conch piercing
to aid the healing process. Over-washing, the use of things such as alcohol and peroxide, and the use of antibiotic ointments should be avoided, as the former two will cause the wound to dry out, and the latter will cut off the air supply, both of which will inhibit healing. A competent piercer will recommend the best jewelry to wear while healing, and jewelry should not be removed or changed for at least six months.
For those with a dermal punch in the area, the "piercing" is so large that it isn't strictly necessary to wear jewelry. The wound will in fact heal faster without jewelry, but one runs the risk of uneven healing, making for a less-than-circular hole and possibly leading to ill-fitting | 25,202 |
1600140 | Conch piercing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conch%20piercing | Conch piercing
jewelry.
# Jewelry.
Smaller gauge conch piercings (generally considered sizes below 14g) can handle any standard body piercing jewelry however care must be taken in the case of CBRs or circular barbells that the diameter is large enough to fit around the ear, particularly in the case of inner conch piercings. Straight or curved barbells are most common with some people choosing large CBRs as well. Typically should be 5/16 in long.
For larger gauge conch piercings, such as those achieved through a dermal punch, eyelets, plugs, and flesh tunnels can all be worn. As the inner conch is designed to help capture sound and funnel it into the ear canal, a hole in this area can lead to slight differences | 25,203 |
1600140 | Conch piercing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conch%20piercing | Conch piercing
in hearing. The change is minimal and probably goes undetected by most people.
# Complications.
Most complications are common to those of other ear cartilage piercings. When getting the procedure done by a professional and following their instructions, along with proper hygiene and good health, these piercings should heal without incident. Migration and rejection are almost non-existent due to the depth at which both of these piercings are placed. Infection is the most serious concern to the client because of the multiple layers of cartilage being pierced. If not cared for properly, an infection can actually form between these layers of cartilage. As the infection lingers, it will begin eating | 25,204 |

A Dame to Kill For
A Dame to Kill For is a comic book limited series first published by Dark Horse Comics in 1993. It is the second story in Frank Miller's "Sin City" series, and the first to be published in miniseries format. It was written and drawn by Frank Miller. It has since been reprinted in graphic novel format in four separate editions.
The 2014 film, "" is partly based on the graphic novel along with "Just Another Saturday Night" and two original segments written by Miller for the film. The film received mixed reviews and was a box office failure compared to the positive reception and financial success of the first "Sin City" film in 2005.
# Plot.
The story begins as Dwight McCarthy, | 25,206 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
working as a photographer for a grossly overweight man named Agamemnon, saves one of the Old Town prostitutes, Sally, from one of her customers, whom Dwight was investigating on behalf of his wife; he then drives her back to Old Town. That night he receives a call from a woman named Ava Lord, asking him to meet her at a seedy bar called Kadie's Club Pecos. Dwight is suspicious of her, as Ava broke his heart four years ago by running off with another richer man,Damien Lord, but the lure of seeing her again is too powerful and he agrees to meet her anyway.
Marv is also there and greets Dwight. Ava arrives late (as she often used to) and attempts to convince Dwight her life is a "living hell" | 25,207 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
and begs for his forgiveness; Dwight refuses to listen until Ava mentions she believes she will soon be dead. But just then, Manute, Damien Lord's valet, arrives and takes Ava away. Ava is reluctant to go, but when Dwight attempts to defend her, she convinces him to stand down, asking him to remember her before she leaves. Dwight goes home, but cannot sleep. He decides to check up on Ava.
At Ava's estate, Dwight hops a fence and uses his photography equipment to find Ava swimming in the nude. He is discovered and claims that he is simply a Peeping Tom when Manute and Damien become involved. Ava comes to investigate and Dwight pretends not to know her, worried his presence may make things bad | 25,208 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
for Ava. Manute pretends not to recognize him from the bar in front of Damien then beats him brutally before throwing him from a car into the street. Dwight calls Agamemnon for a ride home and they stop several times for fast food.
As Dwight arrives home, he finds his Ford Mustang returned and his door unlocked. In his bedroom he finds Ava nude. Following a heated argument, they eventually reconcile and make love. Ava talks about how her husband regularly charges Manute with abusing her physically, believing soon Damien will go too far and kill her. She confesses to Dwight she came to him that night for one last night of love before Manute kills her, but then says she realizes she is not ready | 25,209 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
to die. Manute arrives and violently beats Dwight when he tries to defend her. Dwight is knocked out of his upper story apartment window to the street below, where he blacks out momentarily. He awakens to see Manute driving off with Ava.
Determined to rescue her, Dwight arrives at Kadie’s, where Marv is in the middle of a squabble with some out-of-town punks and the bar owner Kadie. One of them pulls a gun on Marv. At first Marv is patient, warning the out-of-towners not to offend Kadie or himself and further. But after calling Kadie "a cow" and Marv "ugly", Marv quickly and easily knocks him flat; the rest quickly scatter. Dwight convinces Marv, over several drinks and whilst watching Nancy | 25,210 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
dance, to help him storm Damien's estate. Both drunk as they approach the mansion, Dwight insists Marv leave the punk's gun, which Marv has procured, in the car. Marv tackles the guards as a distraction and eventually takes on Manute, ripping his right eye out and beating him savagely.
With Manute and the guards occupied, Dwight makes his way to Damien. When he finds him in his office, Damien calls Ava pathological and pulls a gun on Dwight. When Damien fires, Dwight beats him to death. As Dwight panics, realizing what he has done, Ava appears, and explains how Dwight was all a part of her plan to murder Damien whilst keeping her hands clean, so she can inherit his estate. Ava tells Dwight | 25,211 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
she never loved him or Damien, that she's waited years to "be in charge", even goes so far as to call herself "evil". She shoots Dwight six times, including once in the face. Dwight once again falls out of a window and is picked up and saved by Marv.
Upon Dwight's insistence, Marv drives him to Old Town, they're followed by a police car and when the police reach Old Town, they're met by a hailstorm of bullets, revealing to the reader that Cops have no authority in Old Town. Now in Old Town, Dwight finds a hooker, his old flame, Gail. Gail takes him to her surgeon just has he goes into cardiac arrest. The hookers of Old Town perform surgery on Dwight's multiple bullet wounds, then the leaders | 25,212 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
of the ladies (the Twins) tell him to leave. Gail proclaims her unwavering allegiance to Dwight and reveals to Miho, a deadly assassin, Dwight had saved her only 3 years ago. After gaining the loyalty of Gail and Miho, the Twins allow him to stay however long he wants, for rest and more surgery.
Two detectives following up on Damien Lord's death, Mort and Bob, talk to Ava. She claims that Dwight was a stalker psychopath who killed Damien out of jealousy. They believe her story, and soon after Mort begins an affair with Ava. They interrogate Agamemnon, who tells how Dwight is an upright man who went clean after being a wild alcoholic with a short temper in his younger days. When they speak with | 25,213 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
Dwight's landlady, she tells them about letting Ava in Dwight's apartment and the resulting loud noises of Ava and Dwight's sexual encounter then fight between Dwight and Manute the night of Damien's murder.
After multiple inconsistencies with Ava's story Bob doubts Ava considerably now. Mort on the other hand, has left hi wife and fallen in love with Ava and refuses to see past her lies. Mort becomes more on-edge towards his partner when Bob continues to speak ill of Ava. This culminates with Mort killing Bob, then committing suicide. (On an unrelated note, during the scene in which Mort kills Bob, while they are driving in the car you can clearly see Wendy and Marv drive past them, presumably | 25,214 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
on their way to butcher Kevin.)
Meanwhile, Dwight is recovering from his near-fatal wounds and calls Ava to inform her he is coming for her soon. Ava, with her late husband's financial assets, is joining her corporation with the mob boss Wallenquist. Unaffected by Ava's flirting, he warns her not to underestimate him again and tells her to tie up her loose ends with Dwight; he has someone arriving from Phoenix soon to meet her about that.
Dwight (with his new face), accompanied by Gail and Miho, poses as Wallenquist's man from Phoenix. Inside Ava's estate, however, Manute sees past the new face and captures Dwight. Gail and Miho strike from Dwight's car, and Dwight shoots Manute with a hidden | 25,215 |
1600148 | A Dame to Kill For | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%20Dame%20to%20Kill%20For | A Dame to Kill For
.25 he had up his left sleeve. Six bullets fail to kill him, and Manute aims shakily at Dwight as Ava grabs one of Manute's guns, shooting Manute in his shoulder.
Manute falls through a window and, upon landing, is stabbed in the arms by Miho, pinning him to the ground. Ava then tries to get Dwight to kill him, telling him that Manute had her under mind control to manipulate her and Damien and that it would be a cruel irony if he killed her now. Dwight finally sees through all the lies and kills Ava.

# Reception.
In his review for the "Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy", James Blasingame said that even though "A Dame To Kill For" is a quick read, it has a complex story. He says, "All of the elements of a good novel are present, plot; beginning, middle, ending; dramatic crescendo; fully developed characters; complex constructions of narrative perspective; and, despite Miller’s graphic style, not so black-and-white socially troubling questions about the nature of good and evil, justice, and redemption."
The series won the 1995 Eisner Award for Best Limited Series.

1600152 | Goualougo Triangle | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goualougo%20Triangle | Goualougo Triangle
Goualougo Triangle
The Goualougo Triangle, is a region on the southern end of the Nouabale-Ndoki National Park, located in the Republic of Congo, in Central Africa. The northern Congo lowland forest ecosystem of the park is one of the most intact fauna habitats of its type in Africa. Populations of several endangered or threatened species are found here, including forest elephants, western lowland gorillas and a high density of common chimpanzees.
The discovery of a native chimpanzee ("Pan troglodytes") population - and, most importantly, of their unhabituated behavior - in the Goualougo Triangle region helped persuade the Congolese government, and the local logging company, to preserve the | 25,227 |
1600152 | Goualougo Triangle | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goualougo%20Triangle | Goualougo Triangle
pristine habitat.
The Goualougo Triangle has been dubbed "The Last Place on Earth" by "National Geographic" magazine, and "Time" describes it as the "Last Eden."
The chimpanzees of the Goualougo Triangle have had virtually no contact with people. Bomassa village, away, is the closest human settlement. On initial contact, the chimpanzees still show curiosity and interest in human observers, unlike those at other field research sites. This presents an invaluable opportunity for close observation of a chimpanzee community, one heretofore undisturbed by humans. Analysis of the ecological and geographical requirements for these chimpanzees is essential to developing a management plan to insure | 25,228 |
1600152 | Goualougo Triangle | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goualougo%20Triangle | Goualougo Triangle
conservation of the species.
The Republic of Congo government, in collaboration with the New York based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), initiated the Nouabale-Ndoki/Congo Forest Conservation Project in 1991. When the Nouabale-Ndoki National Park was subsequently created in 1993, the Goualougo Triangle was initially left out, as a part of a logging concession. Initial surveys of the Goualougo Triangle, comprising a forest rich in mahogany and other valuable hardwoods, were conducted that same year by Michael Fay, a conservationist with the WCS.
The encroachment of loggers and bush-meat poachers in areas adjacent to the Nouabale-Ndoki National Park imperils conservation efforts throughout | 25,229 |
1600152 | Goualougo Triangle | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goualougo%20Triangle | Goualougo Triangle
the region. Because logging will continue in the vicinity of the park, it is essential for key conservation areas to be identified and protected, before such encroachment permanently compromises the forests and threatens the integrity of the park itself.
In July 2001, representatives of the WCS, the Congolese government, and the logging company - which owned legal rights to the Goualougo Triangle - announced the area was to be annexed to the park, so its intact ecosystem and undisturbed wildlife habitats would be protected in perpetuity.
Field research enabled by the annexation may lead to better models of human evolution, because the chimpanzees will be protected from any other human interference. | 25,230 |
1600152 | Goualougo Triangle | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goualougo%20Triangle | Goualougo Triangle
Data is being gathered on social organization, feeding ecology and behavior. The chimpanzees of the Goualougo Triangle still enjoy the possibility of an unbounded and genetically robust future.

The Planet's Funniest Animals
The Planet's Funniest Animals is an American television program featured on the Animal Planet cable channel.
# Background.
Following a similar format as "America's Funniest Home Videos" and others, the program shows a series of home movies on video submitted by viewers featuring humorous and odd behavior by pets and animals that are voiced over by the host, who usually describes the action in the clips in a funny way. The show was taped before a live studio audience; however, for some clips, a laugh track was used in place of the audience's laughter. The show was originally hosted by Animal Planet announcer Matt Gallant until 2005 and then hosted by MADtv cast | 25,233 |
1600173 | The Planet's Funniest Animals | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Planet's%20Funniest%20Animals | The Planet's Funniest Animals
member Keegan-Michael Key until the show's ending. The announcer was John Cramer. In 2005, there was a studio audience in this set. The show's regular features include "Ani-Mail", where the host reads "letters from viewers" (it has not been verified that the letters read on the show are sent from actual viewers) and shows clips demonstrating his reply. The show also features a "Animals in the News" part where the host has a newscast only with clips and photos to associate with. And there's a clip in the show called "This Old Clip" (a parody on the home-improvement show "This Old House") where it shows a regular clip.
Brad Lachman Productions produced several series based on similar formats | 25,234 |

The Consort of Musicke
The Consort of Musicke is a British early music group, founded in 1969 by lutenist Anthony Rooley, the ensemble's Artistic Director. Members of the group have included such well-known artists as sopranos Emma Kirkby and Evelyn Tubb, alto Mary Nichols, tenors Paul Agnew, Andrew King and Joseph Cornwell, and bass Simon Grant.
The Consort has gone through several major phases in its long life, reflecting the range of passions of Anthony Rooley. The line-up of performers has likewise changed over the years, and expands to encompass particular projects. Core singers since 2004; Evelyn Tubb soprano, Lucy Ballard alto, Andrew King tenor, Simon Grant bass.

more than 120 recordings that reflect the exploration of music of earlier times, though many of the earlier recordings only exist on vinyl. The Consort’s recent CD recordings include the "pre-Raphaelite" madrigals of Robert Lucas Pearsall, and the motets of the Dutch composer Verrijt, which received enthusiastic responses from the Dutch critics.
Current repertoire includes a theatrical programme of mad songs; an exploration of English Biblical Narratives of the 17th Century; and a programme which weaves the music of John Dowland with that of his contemporaries, reflecting the close-knit musical community of in his day.

The Consort's earliest recordings on LP for Decca Classics' "L'Oiseau Lyre" early music label were for many years unobtainable, although some major recordings, such as the first and only complete recording of Le Chansonnier Cordiforme, were reissued in Japan. Several of these LPs were released by Australian Eloquence on CD for the first time during 2009 and 2010.

Anthony Rooley
Anthony Rooley (born 10 June 1944 in Leeds) is a British lutenist. He founded in 1969 and directs the early music ensemble The Consort of Musicke, which continues to be one of the chief vehicles for his inspiration, among many other activities and interests. He has recorded extensively and continues to perform solo and duo repertoire with sopranos Evelyn Tubb and former partner Emma Kirkby.
Anthony was appointed York Early Music Festival vice president in 2008. He continues regular work as a visiting professor at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, where he is director of AVES - "Advanced Vocal Ensemble Studies". Most recently he has been appointed a visiting professor at the Orpheus | 25,239 |

Institute, Ghent, under the heading "Developing a Practical Philosophy of Performance." In 2003, 2005 and 2007 he undertook four-month residencies at Florida State University, holding graduate seminars and directing productions. In 2003 this included a fully staged version of "Semele" by John Eccles; in 2005 a ‘first’ Conference on John Eccles; 2007 focused on "The Passions" of William Hayes.
Writing and research are of great importance, to develop and extend the repertoire; plans for the future include more time for writing. Recently, Anthony has turned to the 18th and 19th centuries, as part of his continuing project to search out the best of forgotten English music. In 2004 he directed performances, | 25,240 |

William Henry Crossland
William Henry Crossland (Huddersfield, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, 1835 – 14 November 1908, London, (stroke)) was a 19th-century architect and a pupil of George Gilbert Scott.
# Principal works.
Crossland's three most important commissions were:
- Rochdale Town Hall, built in 1866-71.
- Holloway Sanatorium, built 1873-85. This was a project commissioned by the philanthropist Thomas Holloway, and is located at Virginia Water, Surrey.
- Also commissioned by Thomas Holloway: Founder's Building at Royal Holloway College, Egham, Surrey, built in 1883-88 and a short distance away from the Sanatorium.
The Holloway Sanatorium and Royal Holloway College were inspired | 25,244 |
1600189 | William Henry Crossland | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William%20Henry%20Crossland | William Henry Crossland
by the Cloth Hall of Ypres in Belgium and the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, France, respectively and are considered by some to be among the most remarkable buildings in the south of England.
# Other commissions.
The work by Elliott contains a full list based on work by Edward Law of Kilkenny, Ireland which are deposited at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in London. Amongst them are a large number of buildings in West Yorkshire including Batley: Christ Church, Staincliffe, 1867; Huddersfield: Concert Hall, 1873; Longley Hall, 1871–75; Kirkgate Buildings, 1878–85; and Leeds: Mechanics' Institute, 1860. Crossland disappeared from RIBA records in 1894-95. He is not | 25,245 |
1600189 | William Henry Crossland | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William%20Henry%20Crossland | William Henry Crossland
buried in Highgate Cemetery at his specific request. His estate was worth just £29-2s-9d (£29.14p).
# Personal life.
Crossland married Lavinia Cardwell (died 1879) in 1859. They had one daughter, Maud, born 1860, and he also had an illegitimate son with an actress Eliza Ruth Hatt (died 1892) with whom he lived in a bungalow on the Royal Holloway site, producing two further sons. There is a memorial in Highgate Cemetery to his wife, his brother James Crossland, his mistress, his daughter and his eldest son.
# The buildings in the 21st century.
Rochdale Town Hall is still in use for its original function, as is the Founder's Building which is the main building of a major college of the University | 25,246 |

# The buildings in the 21st century.
Rochdale Town Hall is still in use for its original function, as is the Founder's Building which is the main building of a major college of the University of London. The Sanatorium is preserved and restored, and is in use as luxury flats.
The bar in the Founder's Building is named 'Crosslands' in his honour (this is the only bar on campus not owned by the students' union) and is frequented by students, particularly in the summer months, who visit the bar and continue the old tradition of drinking Pimms in one of the quadrangles of the founder's building.

1600184 | Decade of Roma Inclusion | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Decade%20of%20Roma%20Inclusion | Decade of Roma Inclusion
Decade of Roma Inclusion
The Decade of Roma Inclusion ("Deshbersh le Romengo Anderyaripnasko" in Romani) was an initiative of 12 European countries to improve the socio-economic status and social inclusion of the Romani people across the region. The initiative was launched in 2005, with the project running from 2005 to 2015, and was the first multinational project in Europe to actively enhance the lives of Roma.
The countries that took part in the project were: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Spain. All of these countries have significant Romani minorities, which has been rather disadvantaged, | 25,248 |
1600184 | Decade of Roma Inclusion | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Decade%20of%20Roma%20Inclusion | Decade of Roma Inclusion
both economically and socially. Slovenia and the United States maintained observer status.
The governments of the above countries have committed to closing the gap in welfare and living conditions between the Roma and non-Roma populations, as well as putting an end to the cycle of poverty and exclusion that many Roma find themselves in. Each of these countries has developed an action plan that specifies goals and indicators in the project's priority areas: education, employment, health and housing.
The founding international partner organizations of the project are the World Bank, the Open Society Institute, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Council of Europe (CoE), CoE's | 25,249 |
1600184 | Decade of Roma Inclusion | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Decade%20of%20Roma%20Inclusion | Decade of Roma Inclusion
Development Bank (CEB), the Contact Point for Roma and Sinti Issues of the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the European Roma Information Office, the European Roma and Travellers Forum, the European Roma Rights Centre and the Roma Education Fund. The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN–HABITAT), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) became partners in the Decade in 2008, and the World Health Organization (WHO) became a partner in 2011.
The Roma Education Fund (REF), a central component of the initiative, | 25,250 |
1600184 | Decade of Roma Inclusion | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Decade%20of%20Roma%20Inclusion | Decade of Roma Inclusion
was established in 2005 with the mission of expanding educational opportunities for Romani communities in Central and Southeastern Europe. REF's goal is to contribute to closing the gap in educational outcomes between Roma and non-Roma through a variety of policies and programs, including desegregation of educational systems. REF receives funds from governments, multilateral organizations and private sources. It finances projects that are proposed and implemented by governments, non-governmental organizations and private organizations.
Planning for the project was guided by the International Steering Committee (ISC), which was composed of representatives of the participating governments, international | 25,251 |

1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
Trustkill Records
Trustkill Records was an American independent record label that started as a hardcore punk fanzine in April 1993. It started releasing hardcore, metal and rock records and merchandise in 1994. In 2010, the president of Trustkill, Josh Grabelle, formed a new label called Bullet Tooth Records.
# Distribution.
On January 9, 2007, Trustkill signed a deal for exclusive distribution in North America with Fontana Distribution, which is under the Universal Music Group umbrella. Trustkill is also distributed by SPV (Europe), Shock (Australia), JVC/Howling Bull (Japan), David Gresham (South Africa), and Liberation (Brazil).
In 2009, independent hardcore label Think Fast! Records signed | 25,253 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
a worldwide distribution deal with Trustkill Records. Later in 2009, No Sleep Records also signed a worldwide distribution deal with Trustkill.
In 2010 president/A&R Josh Grabelle left Trustkill Records and started a new label called Bullet Tooth Records. The label's distributor still holds the rights to all of the albums released through the label and will still continue to print Trustkill releases and use the Trustkill logo. Since it is unlikely that their distributor will continue to sign new bands and print new releases, Trustkill is considered to be a defunct label. Many of the bands that were signed to the label at this time were re-signed to Bullet Tooth including Memphis May Fire and | 25,254 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
Most Precious Blood.
In a 2012 interview, Grabelle announced the formation of another record label. Named Gypsey Diamond, it will sign and release music by pop and electronica artists.
In a 2013 interview with SoundCrave Magazine, Grabelle further explained the situation regarding Trustkill's demise:
# Controversies.
Several bands signed to the label experienced problems, as detailed below. However, some members of bands formerly signed to Trustkill are still friends with label president Josh Grabelle, such as Roses Are Red's Vincent Minervino, Eighteen Visions' James Hart, and This Is Hell's Travis Reilly.
## Hopesfall.
After their breakup at the beginning of 2008, Hopesfall began releasing | 25,255 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
negative comments about Trustkill including "I hate Trustkill and its owner. Hahahaha. He's not the reason we broke up but I (we) do hate him." The band claimed to be $20,000 in debt due to Trustkill's President, Josh Grabelle, and also claimed that Trustkill "ripped off the band" by removing songs from their final album "Magnetic North" without discussing it with the band first. The album was recorded, mastered, and ready to be released when the songs were removed by Trustkill. Hopesfall later released a downloadable file containing b-sides and demos from "Magnetic North". In an interview on Ryan's Rock Show, drummer Jason Trabue stated that Grabelle added Hopesfall to Warped Tour in 2005, | 25,256 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
then two weeks into the tour, Grabelle stopped paying for the bus. The band had to take out a loan to pay the driver and get home. In the same interview, Trabue stated that Grabelle "pretty much owed every band on that label money."
In response to these issues, Grabelle stated that, "[Trabue] does not speak a shred of truth... I heard those guys got into some pretty hardcore drugs... and they are just miserable."
## Bleeding Through.
In 2007, Bleeding Through suggested to Trustkill that they would like to release a reissue of their 2006 release "The Truth" but the idea was rejected for various reasons. In 2008, Trustkill reissued "The Truth" with bonus tracks and a bonus DVD of which the | 25,257 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
band had no knowledge of. Bleeding Through believes that the reissue is a "fast and overt attempt to pay some bills." Bleeding Through also had issues with Trustkill and their new album "Declaration". Trustkill violated the band's contract by letting them enter the studio in March 2008 and only funding less than 25% of the recording costs; the rest was paid via loans from the lead singer's father and the band's management. Bleeding Through commented on the current state of the label, "Trustkill no longer employs his sales guy, his art director or his publicist. 'Trustkill' is now Josh and one employee in his basement, as far as we can tell."
## Throwdown.
Throwdown ended their three-album | 25,258 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
contract with Trustkill Records in 2007 with their release of "Venom and Tears". Nearly a year after the release, the band felt it was necessary to "air out years of dirty laundry with Josh Grabelle of Trustkill Records," or publicly release their feelings about the label. On March 31, 2008, Trustkill breached the band's contract, and as of July 2008 despite sending the label a notice of breach, nothing was resolved. The label owes Throwdown "tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid royalties for CDs sold" and has a history of not paying the band their royalties on time. The band expressed that the start of their contract with Trustkill was "very positive," however numerous issues over the years | 25,259 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
changed their minds. They had to drop off of several Warped Tour dates in 2006 when Trustkill failed to pay the bus driver on time, and also failed to make payments on time while recording "Venom and Tears".
President Josh Grabelle dismissed the band's concerns by continuously saying that Throwdown "was never happy with anything [I] do." The band left the label with hopes that Trustkill could fix itself and stated, "we hope that by making this situation public, Josh will be motivated to get his business in order and set things right with Throwdown and everyone else who has been burned by the increasingly difficult situation."
## Memphis May Fire.
Memphis May Fire were once signed to Trustkill | 25,260 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
and later Grabelle's Bullet Tooth. The band's song "The Victim" that appears on 2011's The Hollow talks about "much darker times" during their time signed to Trustkill Records. "The Victim" includes the lines "If I could go back/do it all again/you know that I wouldn't sign my life away". Before introducing the song the band has called Trustkill a "shitty label" and have said that they are now proud to be a part of Rise Records. The lyrics of the song "Prove Me Right", off album, "Challenger" discuss the band's struggles with the record label retrospectively. "The Rose", from "Unconditional", contains similar content.
## It Dies Today.
In late 2010, Nick Brooks and Mike Hatalak of It Dies | 25,261 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
Today formed a new group called The March. In a Myspace blog, the band posted lyrics to one of their first demos; a song titled "Harlots, Thieves, & Fakes." In the blog, a lyric line was capitalized as follows: "When TRUST is KILLed you'll only have yourself to blame." The band has not commented on the meaning of the song, but from the rest of the lyrics it can be inferred that they are referring to label president Josh Grabelle.
## Terror.
Todd Jones, formerly of the hardcore band Terror and currently of the band Nails, blasted label president Josh Grabelle in a 2011 interview, saying "I also regret ever having anything to do with Josh Grabelle; but I know karma is very real and will catch | 25,262 |
1600192 | Trustkill Records | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trustkill%20Records | Trustkill Records
up with him (if it hasn't already)."
## Poison the Well.
Chris Hornbrook, formerly of Poison the Well, spoke ill of the label and president Josh Grabelle in a 2013 podcast interview, saying the band went through "dumb shit with that guy" and that he owed the band money.
## Walls of Jericho.
In a 2013 radio interview, Dustin Schoenhofer of Walls of Jericho claimed that the band had finally severed ties with Trustkill Records, stating that while the label helped the band get established, they "owe us quite a bit of money" and did not fully support the band while engaging in heavy festival touring.

Stanley Grenz
Stanley James Grenz (1950–2005) was an American Christian theologian and ethicist in the Baptist tradition.
# Early years.
Grenz was born on 7 January 1950 in Alpena, Michigan. Grenz graduated from the University of Colorado in 1973. He then earned a Master of Divinity degree from Denver Seminary in 1976. Grenz earned his Doctor of Theology degree at University of Munich in Germany under the supervision of theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg. He was ordained to pastoral ministry on 13 June 1976. He later worked within the local church context as youth director and assistant pastor (Northwest Baptist Church, Denver, Colorado, 1971–1976), pastor (Rowandale Baptist Church, Winnipeg, | 25,266 |
1600197 | Stanley Grenz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stanley%20Grenz | Stanley Grenz
Manitoba, 1979–1981), and interim pastor on several occasions. He served on many Baptist boards and agencies and also as a consulting editor of "Christianity Today".

United States House Committee on the Budget
The United States House Committee on the Budget, commonly known as the House Budget Committee, is a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives. Its responsibilities include legislative oversight of the federal budget process, reviewing all bills and resolutions on the budget, and monitoring agencies and programs funded outside of the budgetary process. The committee briefly operated as a select committee in 1919 and 1921, during the 66th and 67th United States Congresses, before being made a standing committee in 1974.
In early December 2013, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R) from Wisconsin and Senate Budget Committee | 25,272 |

Chairwoman Patty Murray (D) from Washington reached a two-year budget agreement that would prevent a government shutdown and increase military spending by providing relief for sequester cuts.
# Role of the House Budget Committee.
The primary responsibility of the Budget Committee is the drafting and preparation of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget, commonly referred to as the "budget resolution." This resolution sets the aggregate levels of revenue and spending that is expected to occur in a given fiscal year. A budget resolution by law must be enacted by Congress by April 15. This target date is rarely met, and in at least four years (FY1999, FY2003, FY2005, and FY2007) no budget resolution | 25,273 |
1600169 | United States House Committee on the Budget | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United%20States%20House%20Committee%20on%20the%20Budget | United States House Committee on the Budget
was ultimately adopted. This resolution also gives to each committee of the House an "allocation" of "new budget authority." This allocation is important in the consideration of legislation on the floor of the House. If a bill comes to the floor to be considered and it causes an increase in spending above this allocation, it is subject to a point of order (under 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act). This is true for discretionary spending (spending that is provided to the Federal Government each year) and mandatory spending (spending such as entitlements where a beneficiary class is defined and a benefit is provided). If an entitlement is expanded and it has not been budgeted for in the budget | 25,274 |
1600169 | United States House Committee on the Budget | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United%20States%20House%20Committee%20on%20the%20Budget | United States House Committee on the Budget
resolution, it is subject to a point of order on the floor and, if not waived, will prevent it from being called up for consideration (if a Member of Congress stands before the body and makes the point of order).
In general, legislation is cleared of such problems prior to consideration through discussions between the House Parliamentarian, the House Leadership, and the House Budget Committee.
The committee holds hearings on federal budget legislation and congressional resolutions related to the federal budget process. The committee holds hearings on the President's annual budget request to Congress and drafts the annual Congressional Budget Resolution, which sets overall spending guidelines | 25,275 |
1600169 | United States House Committee on the Budget | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United%20States%20House%20Committee%20on%20the%20Budget | United States House Committee on the Budget
for Congress as it develops the annual federal appropriations bills. The committee also reviews supplemental budget requests submitted by the President, which cover items which for one reason or another were not included in the original budget request, usually for emergency spending. Recently, emergency budget supplementals have been used to request funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as for disaster recovery after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The committee may amend, approve, or table budget-related bills. It also has the power to enforce established federal budget rules, hold budget-related investigations, and subpoena witnesses. Additionally, the committee has oversight of | 25,276 |

the Congressional Budget Office.
# Rules of the Committee.
The committee meets on the second Wednesday of each month while the House is in session. Though this is required, it is almost always waived and the committee only meets when a subject of sufficient importance arises. This usually occurs during the early part of the calendar year when the President's budget is issued and important budgetary decisions must be made.
It is not permitted to conduct business unless a quorum is present. For hearings, two Members must be present for a hearing to begin. For a business meeting, such as a "mark-up" of a legislative document, a majority of its members must be present. If a bill is passed out | 25,277 |
1600169 | United States House Committee on the Budget | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United%20States%20House%20Committee%20on%20the%20Budget | United States House Committee on the Budget
of committee without the requisite quorum, it may be subject to a point of order on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The committee may only consider measures placed before it either by the Chairman or by a majority vote of its members.
Each member of the Committee may question witnesses during hearings, in order of seniority when the hearing is called to order. Otherwise, Members are recognized in order of their arrival after the gavel has brought the Committee to order.
# Committee members.
The Committee is chaired by Democrat John Yarmuth from Kentucky. The ranking member is Republican Steve Womack from Arkansas.
Also under House rules, unlike other committees of the House | 25,278 |

of Representatives, membership on the Budget Committee is term limited. Rank-and-file members must rotate off the committee after serving for three terms. Chairmen and Ranking members may serve no more than four terms. (See Clause 5 of Rule X of the Rules of the House of Representatives). These limits are often waived, as they have been for Chairman John Kasich (R-OH), Chairman Jim Nussle (R-IA) and Chairman John M. Spratt, Jr. (D-SC). Such a waiver requires a vote of the whole House, and is usually included in the opening day "Rules Package" that sets the rules for each successive Congress. Such a resolution is normally introduced as "House Resolution 5" or "House Resolution 6."

budget committee members have gone on to serve as Director of the Office of Management and Budget: Leon Panetta (budget committee chairman 1989-1993), Rob Portman (budget committee vice chairman) and Jim Nussle (budget committee chairman 2001-2007). Additionally, John Kasich (chairman 1995-2001) went on to serve as Governor of Ohio from 2011 to 2019, while Paul Ryan (chairman 2011-2015) was the Republican nominee for vice president in 2012 and the House speaker from 2015 to 2019.

Emma Kirkby
Dame Carolyn Emma Kirkby, (born 26 February 1949) is an English soprano and one of the world's most renowned early music specialists. She has sung on over 100 recordings.
Her entry in "The Grove Book of Opera Singers" (2008) reads:Her uncommonly pure, crystalline voice, deployed with minimal vibrato, her natural declamation, agile coloratura and her sensitivity to words have been widely admired by interpreters of early, Renaissance and Baroque music and have served as a model for many specialists in this repertory.
# Education and early career.
Kirkby was educated at Hanford School, Sherborne School for Girls in Dorset, and Somerville College, Oxford University. Her father was | 25,282 |

Kirkby did not originally intend to become a professional singer. In the late 1960s, while she was studying classics at Oxford, she joined the Schola Cantorum of Oxford, a student choir which, at the time, was being conducted by Andrew Parrott. After graduation, Kirkby went to work as a school teacher, but became increasingly involved in singing with the growing number of music ensembles that were being founded during the Early music revival of the early 1970s. She married Parrott, and sang with his Taverner Choir which he founded in 1973. Her vocal career developed throughout the 1970s, and she became noted as a soloist in performances and recordings | 25,283 |

Gibson was born near Centreville, Maryland, and attended the Centreville Academy and the Archer School in Harford County. He graduated from Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, engaged in the study law, and was admitted to the bar in 1864, commencing practice in Easton, Maryland.
President Andrew Johnson appointed Gibson as collector of internal revenue for the Maryland Eastern Shore district in 1867, but Gibson was not confirmed. He became auditor and commissioner in chancery in 1869 and resigned | 25,292 |

Crome Yellow
Crome Yellow is the first novel by British author Aldous Huxley, published in 1921. In the book, Huxley satirises the fads and fashions of the time. It is the story of a house party at Crome, a parodic version of Garsington Manor, home of Lady Ottoline Morrell, a house where authors such as Huxley and T. S. Eliot used to gather and write.
The book contains a brief pre-figuring of Huxley's later novel, "Brave New World". Mr. Scogan, one of the characters, describes an "impersonal generation" of the future that will "take the place of Nature's hideous system. In vast state incubators, rows upon rows of gravid bottles will supply the world with the population it requires. The family | 25,295 |
1600216 | Crome Yellow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crome%20Yellow | Crome Yellow
system will disappear; society, sapped at its very base, will have to find new foundations; and Eros, beautifully and irresponsibly free, will flit like a gay butterfly from flower to flower through a sunlit world."
# Plot.
"Crome Yellow" is in the tradition of the English country house novel, as practised by Thomas Love Peacock, in which a diverse group of characters descend upon an estate to leech off the host. They spend most of their time eating, drinking, and holding forth on their personal intellectual conceits. There is little plot development.
The book satirically describes a number of 'types' of the period. The house party is viewed largely through the eyes of the naïve young poet | 25,296 |
1600216 | Crome Yellow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crome%20Yellow | Crome Yellow
Denis Stone. Denis is enamored of Anne Wimbush, who seems more interested in the artist Gombauld. The quiet and hard-of-hearing Jenny often hides behind her red journal. Mary, decisive and yet naïve, decides to embark on an amorous adventure. Mr. Wimbush, the owner of Crome, has been writing a history of the house and its family, of which excerpts are given. His wife is obsessed with spiritualism. Other characters include the pompous literary hack Mr. Barbecue-Smith, the cynical Mr. Scogan (who has elements of Bertrand Russell and of Norman Douglas), the libertine Ivor Lombard, and the ascetic and melancholy Vicar and his wife.
The novel contains an unflattering portrait of the ageing H. H. | 25,297 |

eing H. H. Asquith, former prime minister and still leader of the opposition at the time, thinly disguised as Mr. Callamay, "a ci-devant Prime Minister feebly toddling across the lawn after any pretty girl". The novel mentions his “Roman profile”, and also that young women were reluctant to go on car journeys alone with him.
# Adaptations.
In 2014, Australian novelist and independent publisher Julian Davies wrote "Crow Mellow" which he describes as "a contemporary social satire closely based on Aldous Huxley's ... "Crome Yellow"".
Chapter XIII was adapted by Philip Mackie as a one-off 60 minute play, "The Dwarves", for BBC Radio 4.

Genkernel
Genkernel is a tool for building a general-purpose modular Linux kernel for Gentoo Linux. Genkernel compiles the kernel with all available device drivers built as modules, then copies potentially boot-critical ones to an initramfs that is passed to the kernel at boot time, automatically loading the modules before they are needed. It is designed to allow users with little or no experience configuring a Linux kernel to easily set up a working kernel. Also, non-trivial hard disk setups like LVM and/or dm-crypt for full disk encryption make usage of an initramfs unavoidable; here genkernel can save the user from manually creating one.
