the Pinetree Agreement.
In 1963 it became part of the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment system, the North American Air Defence Command's (NORAD's) computerized defence network, and became North Bay's Alternate Command Post and Automated Back-up Interceptor Control Unit, taking over in the event that North Bay—center for (then) the air defence of north, east-central and Atlantic Canada—was destroyed or otherwise put out of action.
In 1988 the unit was disbanded and reformed in CFB North Bay where it remains today.

Working Class Man
"Working Class Man" is a song performed and made famous by Australian singer Jimmy Barnes. It was written by Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain. "Working Class Man" is generally considered Barnes' signature song as a solo artist.
# Details.
The song first appeared on the 1985 album "For the Working Class Man" and was the first single released from the album. The single spent 14 weeks in the Australian charts, entering at #21 and peaking at #5. It also spent seven weeks in the New Zealand charts, peaking at #34.
It was later played over the credits of the 1986 Ron Howard film "Gung Ho", where in some countries, including Australia, the film was released as "Working Class Man". | 6,123,806 |

Barnes also performed "Working Class Man" at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
Barnes has said of the song, "I went to America just after "Bodyswerve" and met Jonathan Cain, who was in The Babys and Journey. It means a lot to me. Most people thought it was written about me, but it was actually written about my audience - staunch, honest people, who work and who care." Barnes said that, due to the "great band" he had, the recording was done in about 5 takes. "It was fun to sing, so I was really pleased. I didn't realise how much of an impact it would have as an image centre for the next five years."
The music video was filmed in Australia at the Port Kembla Steelworks in | 6,123,807 |

Lacy J. Dalton released a version in 1986 that reached number 16 in the US Country charts. Barnes said of this version, "She was managed by a guy who used to manage Split Enz, a Kiwi guy, who took the song to her. She did a great version, but it's got a real twang." | 6,123,809 |
7541307 | M24 mine | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=M24%20mine | M24 mine
M24 mine
The M24 mine was a United States off-route land mine based on the M28A2 HEAT rocket normally fired by the M20 3.5 inch rocket launcher. The rocket was launched from an M143 plastic launch tube.
# Operation.
A trigger cable was laid across a road, when enough pressure was applied to the trigger cable two conductors inside the cable were forced together closing a circuit. The trigger cable consisted of two segments, requiring simultaneous pressure on both segments to trigger the mine. For wheeled vehicles, the cable was laid directly across the road so that wheels on both sides of the vehicle would touch the cable at the same instance, while for tracked vehicles the cable was laid at | 6,123,810 |
7541307 | M24 mine | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=M24%20mine | M24 mine
les, the cable was laid directly across the road so that wheels on both sides of the vehicle would touch the cable at the same instance, while for tracked vehicles the cable was laid at an angle of fifteen degrees to prevent the cable slipping between the treads on the tracks.
The rocket had a maximum effective range of about 30 meters beyond which it became too inaccurate to reliably strike the target.
The mine is long out of production and no longer in US service. The mine has possibly been used in Angola.

Col. Crawford Burn Site Monument
The Colonel Crawford Burn Site Monument is a war monument in rural Wyandot County, Ohio, United States. Placed in the 1870s, it commemorates the death by burning of Colonel William Crawford during the concluding years of the American Revolution. The stone monument itself was long the subject of local interest, and it has been named a historic site.
As the end of the American Revolution approached, warfare continued in the backcountry of modern Ohio; British-allied Indians continued to harass the American settlers. In 1782, a regiment of Virginia soldiers was sent in reprisal to destroy Indian villages on the Sandusky River, under the command of William Crawford, | 6,123,819 |
7541330 | Col. Crawford Burn Site Monument | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Col.%20Crawford%20Burn%20Site%20Monument | Col. Crawford Burn Site Monument
a friend of victorious General George Washington. However, the Crawford expedition ended on June 4 after a skirmish south of modern-day Carey, and the Americans retreated. Colonel Crawford was captured by the Indians after the battle, and seven days later he was tortured and burned at the stake on the banks of Tymochtee Creek in present-day northeastern Wyandot County.
As the centenary of the burning approached, a movement arose to commemorate Crawford's death with a monument. The movement's proponents were aroused by a strong sense of the incident's importance: besides being the earliest major event in Wyandot County history, it was the county's most prominent event of all time in their opinion. | 6,123,820 |
7541330 | Col. Crawford Burn Site Monument | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Col.%20Crawford%20Burn%20Site%20Monument | Col. Crawford Burn Site Monument
One of the county's leading lawyers, Curtis Berry, originated the idea of marking the site. The marker is made of sandstone from Berea, Ohio, worked in the shape of a cannon and cut approximately tall. Local labor at B.L. Bauscher's firm in Upper Sandusky performed the stone cutting during the middle of 1877, and the monument was dedicated later in the year. The dedication ceremony saw thousands of people in attendance. For many years, the local Pioneer Association hosted an annual Pioneer Picnic at the monument, until the deaths of older residents and the apathy of younger residents saw the demise of the event in 1935. Interest returned in the 1970s: locals opposed the construction of a proposed | 6,123,821 |
7541330 | Col. Crawford Burn Site Monument | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Col.%20Crawford%20Burn%20Site%20Monument | Col. Crawford Burn Site Monument
ic at the monument, until the deaths of older residents and the apathy of younger residents saw the demise of the event in 1935. Interest returned in the 1970s: locals opposed the construction of a proposed electric transmission line by the site, and it became a popular location for school field trips.
In April 1982, the monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its connection to Crawford; it is one of ten such locations in Wyandot County. Commemorative monuments are typically ineligible for National Register listing, and sites such as the Crawford Burn Site Monument can qualify only if the markers themselves have become historically significant. | 6,123,822 |

Henderson v. United States (1950)
Henderson v. United States, 339 U.S. 816 (1950), was a landmark United States Supreme Court decision in the jurisprudence of the United States that abolished segregation in railroad dining cars with an 8-0 ruling.
# The decision.
On May 17, 1942, Elmer W. Henderson, an African-American passenger, was travelling first-class on the Southern Railway from Washington to Atlanta en route to Birmingham in the course of his duties as an employee of the United States.
At about 5:30 pm, while the train was in Virginia, the first call to dinner was announced and he went promptly to the dining car. Under practices then in effect, the two end tables nearest the kitchen | 6,123,823 |
7541269 | Henderson v. United States (1950) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henderson%20v.%20United%20States%20(1950) | Henderson v. United States (1950)
were to be reserved initially for African Americans with curtains drawn between them and the rest of the car. If the other tables were occupied before any African-American passengers presented themselves at the diner then those two tables were made available for white passengers.
As the tables were partly occupied by white passengers (with at least one seat at them unoccupied) the dining-car steward declined to seat the passenger in the dining car, offering instead to serve him at his Pullman seat. The passenger declined and the steward agreed to send him word when space was available. No word was sent and he was not served, although he twice returned to the diner before it was detached at | 6,123,824 |

9 pm.
The passenger filed a complaint with the Interstate Commerce Commission in October 1942, alleging this conduct violated provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act. While the Commission acknowledged that he had been subjected to undue and unreasonable prejudice and disadvantage, it dismissed the occurrence as a casual incident brought about by the bad judgment of an employee and refused to enter an order as to future practices.
The United States District Court for the District of Maryland disagreed; the railroad's general practice, as evidenced by its stated policies in effect on August 6, 1942, was in violation of the Interstate Commerce Act.
The US Supreme Court did not rule on the | 6,123,825 |

constitutionality of "separate but equal" in this instance but did find that the railroad had failed to provide the passenger with the same level of service provided to a white passenger with the same class of ticket, a violation of principles already established in "Mitchell v. United States" (1941).

Kumbia All Starz
Los Kumbia King All Starz are a Mexican-American cumbia group from Corpus Christi, Texas, created by A.B. Quintanilla. Kumbia All Starz are not to be confused with Los Kumbia Kings although some members are originally from Los Kumbia Kings. Their 2006 debut album "Ayer Fue Kumbia Kings, Hoy Es Kumbia All Starz" reached number one on United States Billboard's Latin Pop Albums chart, number one on the Top Latin Albums chart, and number sixty-eight on the United States "Billboard" 200. The album spawned two charting singles, "Chiquilla" (which reached number seven on Hot Latin Tracks, number nine on Latin Regional Mexican Airplay, number twenty-six on Latin Pop Airplay and number | 6,123,828 |
7541029 | Kumbia All Starz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kumbia%20All%20Starz | Kumbia All Starz
thirty-one on Latin Tropical Airplay) and "Parece Que Va a Llover" (which reached number thirty-three on Latin Regional Mexican Airplay).
# Kumbia Kings Controversy.
Many members of Kumbia All Starz and Los Super Reyes were formerly together as Kumbia Kings, which had lots of success but unfortunately, this was bittersweet for the group amidst the controversy and love/hate relationship between the co-producers of Kumbia Kings, A.B. Quintanilla and Cruz Martínez, as well as the other members and ex-members of the group. A.B. Quintanilla, the founder of Kumbia Kings, left the group and early in the summer of 2006 formed Los Kumbia All Starz.
Cruz Martínez continued with Los Kumbia Kings until | 6,123,829 |
7541029 | Kumbia All Starz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kumbia%20All%20Starz | Kumbia All Starz
he decided to change the name of the group he now headed to Los Super Reyes. Many of the members of the Kumbia Kings opted to stay with Cruz and released their first album as Los Super Reyes in August 2007. Their first single, titled "Muévelo" has topped Latin radio airwaves in the United States as well as Latin America.
A.B. Quintanilla successfully petitioned Mexican courts to claim the naming rights to "Los Kumbia Kings", though there really was not much opposition. As fellow Kumbia Kings founder, Cruz Martínez never pursued litigation to retain or share the naming rights with Quintanilla. The name "Los Kumbia Kings" is retired according to Quintanilla, though rumors persist that "Los Kumbia | 6,123,830 |
7541029 | Kumbia All Starz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kumbia%20All%20Starz | Kumbia All Starz
Kings" will resurface at a later date with new band members.
# Pee Wee leaves.
Controversy again erupted on February 1, 2008, when group member Pee Wee publicized his leave from Kumbia All Starz to pursue a solo career.
A press release from A.B. Quintanilla confirms rumors that Pee Wee has left the Kumbia All Starz, as well as Roque and Memo Morales. According to the letter, the split was amicable and there will be a search for a new member via the group's Myspace page.
The Pee Wee controversy continued onto an interview on Univision's Don Francisco Presenta. In the interview, Pee Wee declared that the rumors of pursuing a solo career were invented by the Kumbia All Starz leader, A.B. Quintanilla. | 6,123,831 |
7541029 | Kumbia All Starz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kumbia%20All%20Starz | Kumbia All Starz
He continued stating that during a tour in Mexico, the members did not receive pay for their performances, and that A.B. Quintanilla called him, along with all of Kumbia All Starz's other members, replaceable. Also continuing that A.B. Quintanilla's new manager had called his mother to tell her she had 24 hours to leave her home.
# La Mafia vs. Kumbia All Starz.
On May 12, 2008, Oscar De La Rosa, leader of La Mafia challenged A.B. Quintanilla and his group Los Kumbia All Starz to a battle of the bands. A.B. Quintanilla responded by making a video saying that he accepted and that the battle would be held at Robstown, Texas on August 2, 2008. A press conference was held in San Antonio, Texas | 6,123,832 |
7541029 | Kumbia All Starz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kumbia%20All%20Starz | Kumbia All Starz
on July 30, 2008 where both groups answered questions to the fans. The two stages were set side to side and the rules were each group had to sing 3 songs in a row. The battle began as they tossed a coin to see who would sing first. Oscar called heads and heads it was, so he elected A.B. Quintanilla to go first. For his first 3 songs he chose 3 Tejano songs he wrote and he got his two special guest singers Elida Reyna to sing the first two and Jesse Turner of Siggno to sing the third one.

Gary Lane (gridiron football)
Gary Owen Lane (December 21, 1942 – June 27, 2003) was an American football quarterback and American football official.
After graduating from East Alton-Wood River High School in Wood River, Illinois in 1961, Lane played college football at the University of Missouri from 1963 to 1966 and later in the National Football League (NFL) for three seasons with the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants from 1966 to 1968. He also played one season in the Canadian Football League for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1970.

Château de Méréville
The Château de Méréville is a chateau in Méréville in the valley of the Juine, France. It is the rival of the Désert de Retz as two of the most extensive Landscape Gardens provided with follies and picturesque features — "parcs à fabriques" — made in the late eighteenth century. Both are early examples of the romantic French Landscape Garden — "jardin a l'anglaise" — an interpretation of the English garden style that was replacing the Garden à la française. the Château de Méréville and garden park survives, partially dismantled.
After being owned by a Japanese pension fund who planned to turn it into a golf resort, in 2000 the chateau was bought by the regional government. | 6,123,848 |
7541391 | Château de Méréville | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Château%20de%20Méréville | Château de Méréville
As of 2008, plans to restore it had made little progress.
# History.
## Up to 1786.
The château was first built as a medieval fortress, and then rebuilt on the medieval buildings' remains in 1768 for the "conseiller du roi" Jean Delpech. The 1768 phase was provided with modest formal gardens formed as regular parterres
## 1786-1796.
The château and its park in the French gardening style were bought in 1784 as the last of his country houses by the financier Jean-Joseph de Laborde, one of the richest financiers of the Ancien Régime, after his neighbours gave him the chance to do so. On this marshy land he decided to rebuild the château and create a large landscape park to his own taste. To | 6,123,849 |
7541391 | Château de Méréville | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Château%20de%20Méréville | Château de Méréville
this end he commissioned major artists such as Bélanger (famous in this decade for having constructed Bagatelle in only two months for the comte d'Artois), the famous cabinetmaker Leleu, the sculptor Augustin Pajou and the painter Claude Joseph Vernet.
In 1786, after the new pont des roches (a two-level bridge over the Juine) subsided, and Bélanger's plans were threatening to prove too expensive even for the marquis (he habitually spent without keeping count of spending, which as a sensible administrator the marquis could not accept). Bélanger was thus sacked as chief architect in May that year and replaced by Hubert Robert (who had left the prestigious French School in Rome and was already | 6,123,850 |
7541391 | Château de Méréville | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Château%20de%20Méréville | Château de Méréville
known as the ruins-painter or "Robert-les-ruines"), though Bélanger remained onsite for the construction of the circular temple of filial piety (built in honour of the marquis' daughter Natalie, containing a marble bust of her by Augustin Pajou).
The following year, 1787, in some of the most exceptional hydrographic work of the period, the re-routing of the Juine took a long time to achieve. Next, an entirely new type of structure was built on a small island in the centre of the main lake - a rostral column, in honour of the marquis' two young sons Edouard (1762–1786) and Ange Auguste (1766–1786), news of whose disappearance had arrived in France earlier that year. They had died young at sea | 6,123,851 |
7541391 | Château de Méréville | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Château%20de%20Méréville | Château de Méréville
in Lituya Bay during the La Pérouse expedition.
The park is in the marquis' own image, showing his admiration for navigation and discovery (not only the rostral column, but also the cenotaph in honour of the Englishman Captain Cook, are the most obvious indicators of this), his love of nature and beautiful plants (linked to exploration in this era of botany and classification - the park is stuffed with rare imported species, acclimatised to their new habitat by the rich soil of the Méréville valley), and his memory of his youth in the Basque and the mountainous Pyrénées (a rocky waterfall, spiral staircases down into grottoes, and dénivellés). It also shows off his riches, with bridges "aux | 6,123,852 |
7541391 | Château de Méréville | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Château%20de%20Méréville | Château de Méréville
boules d'or" (with gold spheres), grottoes adorned with thousands of pieces of gold leaf or precious and semi-precious stones, and above all a pebble-paved road which gives the park such a great cachet.
The construction took ten years and nearly 700 workers, of which a large majority were specialist craftsmen. Robert transformed into a landscape of open meadow and belts of trees contained within a wide bowl, which became dotted with eye-catching features with a few years. Chateaubriand called the result an oasis. In its return to nature or at least to the illusion of nature (the ruined bridge, and the facts that the trees were all planted in positions intended to surprise the visitor and the | 6,123,853 |

Prince Charles's Men
Prince Charles's Men (known as the Duke of York's Men from 1608 to 1612) was a playing company or troupe of actors in Jacobean and Caroline England.
# The Jacobean era troupe.
The company was formed in 1608 as the Duke of York's Men, under the titular patronage of King James' second son, the eight-year-old Charles (1600–49), then the Duke of York. Upon the death of Charles's elder brother Prince Henry in 1612, the company became Prince Charles's Men. They played mainly in the provinces for the first two years of their existence, but in 1610 they received a renewed royal patent that authorized them to play in London, "in such usual houses as themselves shall provide."
Seven | 6,123,862 |
7541430 | Prince Charles's Men | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prince%20Charles's%20Men | Prince Charles's Men
actors are listed in the patent: John Garland, William Rowley, Thomas Hobbes, Robert Dawes, Joseph Taylor, John Newton, and Gilbert Reason. Rowley was their dramatist and clown; Joseph Taylor would be their leading man in future years, and then fill the same function with the King's Men, when he replaced the late Richard Burbage in May 1619. Garland was a veteran, having been a founding member of Queen Elizabeth's Men in 1583. Hobbes had a comparably long career ahead of him: he would be with the King's Men as late as 1637. Newton and Reason continued with the company until its end in 1625.
For a short time around 1614–15, they joined forces with the Lady Elizabeth's Men at Philip Henslowe's | 6,123,863 |

Taylor transferred to the King's Men in 1619; in the same year, Prince Charles's Men left Henslowe's Hope (a less-than-ideal venue for drama, since it doubled as a bear-baiting ring) and moved into Christopher Beeston's Cockpit Theatre, and were thereafter closely associated with Beeston's theatrical enterprise. They acted at the Cockpit from 1619 till 1622, and after that, at Beeston's Red Bull Theatre.
When their patron became King Charles I in 1625, the King chose to renew his father's patronage of the King's Men, the company of Shakespeare and Burbage that had maintained | 6,123,864 |

its reputation as the best in drama. Prince Charles's Men disbanded, at least officially; some of the troupe's members may have continued with the so-called Red Bull company that occupied that theatre from 1625 on. Little is known about them.
# The Caroline era troupe.
In the confused theatre scene of the Caroline era – what Andrew Gurr has called "a complex game of musical playhouses" in which companies switched theatres and changed their names – there was a troupe that acted under the name in the 1631–42 period, with royal patronage under the name of the infant Prince Charles, the future Charles II; scholars sometimes designate it Prince Charles's Men (II). This company, which included some | 6,123,865 |

personnel from the Admiral's/Palsgrave's company that had collapsed in 1631, was at Richard Gunnell's new Salisbury Court Theatre in the 1631–33 era, at the Red Bull Theatre in 1634–40, and at the Fortune Theatre in 1640–42. The original 1631 sharers in this company were Andrew Cane (their star clown), Ellis Worth, Joseph Moore, Matthew Smith, Richard Fowler, William Brown, James Sneller (or Kneller), Thomas Bond, Henry Gradwell, and William Hall. The same men (except for Moore, who may have been a manager rather than an actor) were named Grooms of the Chamber on 10 May 1632.
This second version of the company had a tempestuous existence, with small audiences and poor returns, lawsuits and | 6,123,866 |
7541430 | Prince Charles's Men | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prince%20Charles's%20Men | Prince Charles's Men
controversies. The troupe lost almost half its sharers in the 1634–36 period alone, due to death or desertion. The company did perform 14 times at Court in the five years from 1631 through 1635 (compare 86 Court performances by the King's Men, and 62 by Queen Henrietta's Men, in the same years). The Prince's troupe left the Salisbury Court Theatre during the disruptions of the bubonic plague epidemic of 1636–37, and finished its career at the Red Bull Theatre.
Even after the London theatres closed in September 1642 at the start of the English Civil War, a remnant of the company seems to have struggled on. William Hall and a few more, apparently joined by other displaced English actors, performed | 6,123,867 |

USS Mackinac (AVP-13)
The second USS "Mackinac" (AVP-13) was a United States Navy small seaplane tender in commission from 1942 to 1947 that saw service during World War II. After the war, she was in commission in the United States Coast Guard from 1949 to 1967 as the cutter USCGC "Mackinac" (WAVP-371), later WHEC-371, the second ship of the Coast Guard or its predecessor, the United States Revenue Cutter Service, to bear the name.
# Construction and commissioning.
"Mackinac" was laid down on 29 May 1940 at Puget Sound Navy Yard in Bremerton, Washington. She was launched on 15 November 1941, sponsored by Mrs. Ralph Wood, wife of the commanding officer of Naval Air Station Seattle in Seattle, | 6,123,879 |

## World War II.
### First Pacific tour, 1942-1943.
After three months of shakedown, "Mackinac", escorting a large convoy, departed the United States West Coast for Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on 11 May 1942, arriving there on 19 May 1942. On 22 May 1942, the famous explorer Rear Admiral (retired) Richard E. Byrd and his staff came on board for an inspection cruise of U.S. bases in the South Pacific. Byrd, because of his worldwide recognition, had been drawn out of retirement to represent the United States to the French colonies in the South Pacific, which were nominally | 6,123,880 |

under the control of the pro-German Vichy government, as their cooperation was vital to the war effort there. Byrd debarked at Auckland, New Zealand, on 23 June 1942, and "Mackinac" then headed to Nouméa, New Caledonia, on 18 July 1942.
With preparations underway for the Guadalcanal‑Tulagi landing, scheduled for 7 August 1942 through 9 August 1942, "Mackinac" was assigned the task of setting up a seaplane base at Malaita, the most advanced post of the Guadalcanal campaign, while her PBY Catalina flying boats searched northward and westward to watch the sealane between Truk and Guadalcanal in case of any Imperial Japanese Navy reaction from its base at Truk. No American was known to have visited | 6,123,881 |

Malaita since Jack London in 1908, whence he had fled in disgust from fierce storms and head hunters. Now Commander Hitchcock took "Mackinac" up the back of the island and threaded his way into Maramasike Estuary on the southeast coast, through waters for which there were no charts. "Mackinac" opened for business with nine PBY Catalinas on the morning of 8 August 1942. One of the first American ships to anchor in the Solomon Islands, "Mackinac" retired to Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides Islands on 12 August 1942.
Despite constant evacuation alerts and numerous search plane losses, "Mackinac" next set up base at Graciosa Harbor in the Santa Cruz Islands on 20 August 1942. Early on the morning | 6,123,882 |

of 12 September 1942, two Japanese submarines surfaced at the harbor entrance to shell "Mackinac" and the seaplane tender and their seaplanes. The two seaplane tenders returned fire, but neither side suffered damage.
Following her return to Espiritu Santo on 25 October 1942, "Mackinac" assisted with her boats in rescuing survivors of the United States Army transport after "President Coolidge" struck two naval mines in the harbor entrance and beached herself.
On 12 November 1942, "Mackinac" established an advanced seaplane base at Vanikolo Island in the Santa Cruz Islands, and began tending an average of six seaplanes a day. Several high-ranking officers visited her during this duty, including | 6,123,883 |

Vice Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr.
"Mackinac" got underway from Espiritu Santo with a convoy for the United States West Coast on 9 July 1943, arriving at San Francisco, California, on 25 July 1943. She then underwent a two-month overhaul at Mare Island Navy Yard at Vallejo, California.
### Second Pacific tour, 1943-1945.
"Mackinac" returned to Pearl Harbor on 28 September 1943. After a month of transport duty between Midway Atoll and Maui, Hawaii, "Mackinac" left Pearl Harbor on 20 November 1943 escorting the seaplane tender to the Ellice Islands.
When a PBY Catalina flying boat was forced down near Nui in the Gilbert Islands, "Mackinac", after locating it early on 24 November 1943, rescued | 6,123,884 |

the crew and safely towed the plane to Fenua Tapu despite adverse weather. On 1 December 1943 she arrived at recently secured Tarawa to tend seaplanes there through January 1944, undergoing 22 air raids during her time there.
"Mackinac" then steamed for Makin Atoll with Patrol Squadron 72 (VP‑72) to participate in the Marshall Islands campaign with around‑the‑clock seaplane tending. With Majuro Atoll and Kwajalein Atoll secured by the early part of February 1944, "Mackinac" was ordered on to Kwajalein Island, anchoring there on 9 March 1944. While her patrol bombing squadron was conducting rescue operations at Majuro, Makin, Eniwetok, and Kwajalein, "Mackinac" was laying out the seaplane area | 6,123,885 |

and assisting the construction of a naval airbase on Ebeye Kwajalein.
On 23 June 1944, "Mackinac" departed for Eniwetok en route to Saipan. As the American conquest of Saipan was still in the assault stage, "Mackinac" was under almost constant Japanese fire while stationed there.
Relieved at Saipan on 19 August 1944, "Mackinac" joined the seaplane tenders , , , and in sailing for Kossol Passage, Peleliu, in the Palau Islands, arriving on 15 September 1944, one day after the American landings on Pelelieu. For the next three months, "Mackinac" marked navigational obstructions off Kossol before leaving for Ulithi Atoll on 25 December 1944. On 21 January 1945, "Mackinac" got underway with "Chandeleur" | 6,123,886 |
7541046 | USS Mackinac (AVP-13) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=USS%20Mackinac%20(AVP-13) | USS Mackinac (AVP-13)
for San Diego, California, via Pearl Harbor, arriving at San Diego on 7 February 1945.
### Third Pacific Tour 1945.
"Mackinac" returned to Saipan in April 1945. On 11 May 1945, she joined a seaplane group based at Kerama Retto in the Ryukyu Islands during the Okinawa campaign, and continued a variety of duties, including air-sea rescue and bombardment of Japanese‑held Rose Island. After the seaplane group moved its operations to Okinawa on 14 July 1945, "Mackinac" tended motor torpedo boats through early August 1945. After the Japanese capitulation on 15 August 1945, she was assigned to join Task Group 30.5, arriving at Sagami Bay, Tokyo, Japan, on 28 August 1945.

received six battle stars for her World War Il service.
## Post-World War II.
Following occupation duty in Japan, "Mackinac" left for the United States West Coast on 10 January 1946, arriving at San Pedro, California, on 29 January 1946. After repairs, she sailed for the Gulf of Mexico via the Panama Canal, arriving at Orange, Texas, on 26 March 1946.
"Mackinac" was decommissioned and entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet at Orange in January 1947.

The Navy loaned "Mackinac" to the Coast Guard on 19 April 1949, and the Coast Guard officially accepted her at Orange on 21 April 1949. The Coast Guard cutter then towed her from Orange to the Coast Guard Yard at Curtis Bay in Baltimore, Maryland, where she underwent conversion for use as a weather-reporting ship. While this was in progress, the Coast Guard commissioned her as USCGC "Mackinac" (WAVP-371) on 11 May 1949 with Commander | 6,123,889 |

William L. Maloney, USCG, in command. Her conversion was completed on 18 July 1949.
"Mackinac" was stationed at New York, New York, throughout her Coast Guard career. Her primary duty was to serve on ocean stations in the Atlantic Ocean to gather meteorological data. In addition, she conducted search-and-rescue and law enforcement operations and provided navigational and communication assistance to aircraft.
She was among a number of cutters based on the United States East Coast that rotated among four ocean stations in the Atlantic Ocean. While on duty in one of these stations, she was required to patrol a 210-square-statute-mile (544 km²; 159 nmi²) area for three weeks at a time, leaving | 6,123,890 |

the area only when physically relieved by another Coast Guard cutter or in the case of a dire emergency. While on station, she acted as an aircraft check point at the point of no return, a relay point for messages from ships and aircraft, as a source of the latest weather information for passing aircraft, as a floating oceanographic laboratory, and as a search-and-rescue ship for downed aircraft and vessels in distress.
"Mackinac"s first base at New York City was at Brooklyn, New York. She shifted her base to St. George, Staten Island, New York, on 17 September 1953.
On 13 November 1953, she came to the assistance of the merchant ship "Empire Nene" at .

as a high endurance cutter and redesignated WHEC-371. She won the Eastern Area Vessel Performance Award for Fiscal Year 1967.
# Decommissioning and disposal.
The Coast Guard decommissioned "Mackinac" on 28 December 1967 and placed her in reserve at the Coast Guard Yard at Curtis Bay. On 21 July 1968 the Coast Guard returned her to the Navy, and the Navy struck her from the Naval Vessel Register that day.
The Navy sank "Mackinac" as a target off the coast of Virginia on 23 July 1968, using her for target practice by United States Naval Academy midshipmen. "Mackinac" sank in 1,800 fathoms ( of water) at position . Although under fire from four ships – the heavy cruiser , the guided-missile | 6,123,892 |

The circle is an example of a locally simply connected space which is not simply connected. The Hawaiian earring is a space which is neither locally simply connected nor simply connected. The cone on the Hawaiian earring is contractible and therefore simply connected, but still not locally simply connected.
All topological manifolds and CW complexes are locally simply connected. In fact, these satisfy the much stronger property of being locally contractible.

A strictly weaker condition is that of being semi-locally simply connected. Both locally simply connected spaces and simply connected spaces are semi-locally simply connected, but neither converse holds. | 6,123,896 |

1882 in Biddulph. They moved to Lohrville, Iowa, where they had six children: Bernard Anthony; Cyril Crawford; Cecilia Margaret; Thomas George Sr.; Basil 'Charles'; and Catherine Loretto.
When Lanphier was twelve years old his family moved to Omaha, Nebraska. He attended Creighton Preparatory School and Creighton University followed by the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York. While at West Point, he met his future wife Janet Cobb, who was attending Vassar College. They married February 1, 1915 in New York. Lanphier graduated from West Point in 1914 and was a classmate and friend of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

in the Panama Canal Zone. His unit was transferred to France in March 1918 after the US entered World War I. He served in combat in a machine gun unit and was later transferred to the air corps. He received pilot training at Issoudun Aerodrome, France. He returned to the United States June 1, 1919.
After World War I, Lanphier was stationed at Mitchel Field, New York in February 1921. He was stationed at Post Field, Fort Sill later that year until September 1924. He was transferred to Selfridge Field in Michigan by November 1924.
Later, Lanphier became the commandant of the 1st Pursuit Group at Selfridge Field in Michigan. Lanphier was Commanding Officer of Selfridge Field in Michigan from | 6,123,899 |
