He wrote to Irik Sevin, CEO of Star Gas Partners, in February 2005, calling him "one of the most dangerous and incompetent executives in America" and accusing him of "ineptitude" and of using the firm as his "personal 'honey pot'".

'Irik Sevin Scholarship'. One can only pity the poor student who suffers the indignity of attaching your name to his academic record." Loeb demanded the resignation from the firm's board of Sevin's "elderly 78-year old mom" and insisted that Sevin also "step down ... so that you can do what you do best: retreat to your waterfront mansion in the Hamptons where you can play tennis and hobnob with your fellow socialites."
A 2005 "The New York Times" article reported that many hedge-fund managers were now writing letters to the SEC demanding executives take specific actions and cited Loeb's letter to Sevin as exemplary of the genre, noting that three weeks after the letter was sent, "Sevin was | 6,124,001 |

James A. Burden II
James Abercrombie Burden, Jr. (January 16, 1871 in Troy, New York – June 1, 1932 in Syosset, New York) was an American industrialist from New York.
# Early life.
James Abercrombie Burden, Jr. was born on January 16, 1871 in Troy, New York. His father was James Abercrombie Burden Sr. (1833–1906) and his mother was Mary Proudfit (née Irvin). His younger brother, Arthur Scott Burden (1879–1921), was the first husband of Cynthia Roche, the daughter of James Roche, 3rd Baron Fermoy, an Irish peer and MP, and Frances Ellen Work, his American wife. Her brother was Maurice Roche, 4th Baron Fermoy, the maternal grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales.
His paternal grandfather, Henry | 6,124,025 |

Burden (1791–1871), a native of Scotland, became manager in 1822 of Troy Iron and Nail Works reorganized later as the "Henry Burden and Sons" foundry in Troy. His grandfather assumed full ownership in 1848, which was passed along to his sons, and in 1881 was reorganized as Burden Iron Works.
# Career.
Burden attended and graduated from Harvard College in 1893. Following his graduation, he studied for a year at Harvard Law School before going to work at the family company in 1894 and assuming the presidency in 1906 upon his father's death.

the largest horseshoe and nail‐producing concern in the world. In 1910, then Democratic candidate, and eventually, New York Governor, John A. Dix spoke in Troy about the burden of overtaxation. Dix was then hosted for dinner by James, a Republican who had recently announced his intention to support the Democratic nominee.
In 1921, as a result of two horse fall injuries his brother, Arthur, sustained which caused him to be placed under constant care from late 1913, Burden filed a petition while his sister-in-law, Cynthia Roche's, was away in London, requesting that Arthur Burden be declared incompetent. His brother died from pneumonia shortly thereafter in June 1921.

Thura-Yura languages
The Yura or Thura-Yura languages are a group of Australian Aboriginal languages surrounding Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent in South Australia, that comprise a genetic language family of the Pama–Nyungan family. The name "Yura" comes from the word for "person" in the northern languages; this is a lenited form of the "thura" found in other languages, hence "Thura-Yura". Similar words for "person" are found in languages outside the group, however.
The following classification is proposed by Bowern & Koch (2004):
- Nangga: Wirangu, Nauo
- Core Thura-Yura
- Yura (northern): Adnyamathanha–Kuyani, Barngarla
- Kadli (southern): Narangga, Kaurna

# Attractions.
Kukljica is a tourist and fishing town on the southeastern side of the island of Ugljan close to the Zdrelac Strait, also known as the “doorway to Telascica Nature Park and Kornati National Park”. The old part of the town is of Mediterranean architecture and is separated from the green peninsula on which the settlement is situated by a large natural inlet and port. The sandy beaches of Sabusa, Kostanj, Zelena Punta, and Jelenica stretch to both sides of the island in the shade of centennial pinewood. Orange roofs top the houses that | 6,124,034 |
7541863 | Kukljica | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kukljica | Kukljica
display Roman ruins with grape and kiwi vines curling around the corners. Every year a traditional procession to the shrine of Our Lady of Snow is held on 5 August, in memory of the day when, according to legend, it snowed five centuries earlier. Some annual activities/ festivities are the boats encircling the boat that carries the "Lady of Snow" statue, tug-of-war, donkey races, and climbing a greased pole to get to a prosciutto that is hung at the top. Kukljica is home to the Meštrić, Martinović, Blagdan, Benić, Vulin & Milić families.
Kukljica is situated at the southeast end of the island of Ugljan. It has 52 km2 and 75 km of coastline abounding with bays. Ugljan faces Zadar from which | 6,124,035 |
7541863 | Kukljica | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kukljica | Kukljica
it is separated by the Zadar Channel which is only 3 NM wide. It is well-connected with the mainland by ferryboats. A bridge at the crossing Ždrelac connects Ugljan with the island of Pašman.
The picturesque fishing village lies on a large natural bay not far from the sea crossing Ždrelac so that it can be called «the door to the National Park Kornati». In the old village nucleus genuine examples of island building can still be seen and it is a special pleasure to walk down the quay and throw a glance at the small port always filled with boats and sailboats. In the haven Kostanj there is a valuable historical monument, the restored old Christian church of St. Jerome from the 13th century.

oats and sailboats. In the haven Kostanj there is a valuable historical monument, the restored old Christian church of St. Jerome from the 13th century.
The genuine attraction of Kukljica is the traditional procession by boat on the 5th of August, which has been taking place here since 1514, when the statue of Our Lady is taken from the votive church of Our Lady of the Snow in the sea crossing Ždrelac to the parish church of St. Paul dating from the 17th century. The statue is accompanied by a procession of hundreds of boats of all sizes. Very close to the village, on both sides of the islands are the sandy beaches of Sabuša, Kostanj i Jelenica.

List of coalition military operations of the Iraq War
This is a list of coalition (Multi-National Force – Iraq) military operations of the Iraq War. The list covers operations from 2003 until December 2011. For later operations, see American-led intervention in Iraq (2014–present).
# 2003.
Though the initial war lasted for only 21 days, the coalition soon found themselves fighting insurgent forces. Upon completion of the initial conflict the coalition troops began counterinsurgency, humanitarian, security and various other types of operations in order to stabilize the country.

planners, particularly the United States and United Kingdom led to a growing armed resistance, usually called the "Iraqi insurgency" (referred to by the mainstream media and coalition governments). The anti-occupation/anti-coalition forces are believed to be predominantly, but not exclusively, Iraqi Sunni Muslim Arabs, plus some foreign Arab and Muslim fighters, some of the latter tied to al-Qaeda. Several minor coalition members have pulled out of Iraq; this has been widely considered a political success for the anti-occupation forces.
Despite this, there was a reduction in violence throughout Iraq in the start of 2004 due to reorganization within the insurgent forces. During this time the | 6,124,039 |

tactics used by coalition forces were studied and the insurgency began to plan a new strategy. The calm did not last long however and once the insurgency had regained its footing attacks resumed and increased. Throughout the remainder of 2004 and continuing into the present day, the insurgency has employed bombings as their primary means of combating the coalition forces. This has led to hundreds of Iraqi civilians and police killed in addition to the coalition forces they were fighting. Many were killed in a series of massive bombings at mosques and shrines throughout Iraq. The bombings indicated that as the relevance of Saddam Hussein and his followers was diminishing, radical Islamists, both | 6,124,040 |

foreign and Iraqi was increasing to take their place. An organized Sunni insurgency, with deep roots and both nationalist and Islamist motivations, was becoming clear. The Mahdi Army also began launching attacks on coalition targets and to seize control from the Iraqi security forces. The southern and central portions of Iraq began to erupt in urban guerilla combat as coalition forces attempted to keep control and prepared for a counteroffensive.
In response to insurgent attacks, coalition forces focused on hunting down the remaining leaders of the former regime, culminating in the shooting deaths of Saddam's two sons in July. In all, over 200 top leaders of the former regime were killed or | 6,124,041 |

captured, as well as supports and military personnel during the summer of 2004.
# 2005.
Coalition and Iraqi government forces continue to battle Iraqi militants and other fighters. During early and mid-May 2005, the U.S. also launched Operation Matador, an assault by around 1,000 marines in the ungoverned region of western Iraq. Coalition and Iraqi soldiers, Iraqi fighters and civilians have been killed in these conflicts. As of late July 2007, nearly 3,700 U.S. soldiers have been killed, and around ten times this many have been wounded. The number of Iraqi citizens who have fallen victim to the fighting has risen.

control of the oil infrastructure (a source of Iraq's foreign currency) and control of the major cities of Iraq. The insurgency, the developing the New Iraqi Army, disorganized police and security forces, as well as a lack of revenue have hampered efforts to assert control. In addition, former Baathist elements and militant Shia groups have engaged in sabotage, terrorism, open rebellion, and establishing their own security zones in all or part of a dozen cities. The Allawi government vowed to crush the insurgency.
An election for a government to draft a permanent constitution took place during this time ("ed". see Politics of Iraq for more information on the political state of Iraq). Although | 6,124,043 |

some violence and lack of widespread Sunni participation marred the event, much of the eligible Kurd and Shia populace participated. Sectarian violence has also been prominent part of the militant and guerrilla activity. Targets here where often Shia gatherings or civilian concentrations mainly of Shias. As a result, over 700 Iraqi civilians died in the month.
# 2006.
The beginning of 2006 was marked by government creation talks, growing sectarian violence, and continuous anti-coalition attacks. Sectarian violence expanded to a new level of intensity following the al-Askari Mosque bombing in the Iraqi city of Samarra, on 22 February 2006. The explosion at the mosque, one of the holiest sites | 6,124,044 |

in Shi'a Islam, is believed to have been caused by a bomb planted by Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Although no injuries occurred in the blast, the mosque was severely damaged and the bombing resulted in violence over the following days.
As of 20 October the U.S military announced that Operation Together Forward had failed to stem the tide of violence in Baghdad, and Shiite militants under al-Sadr seized several southern Iraq cities.
On 23 November, the deadliest attack since the beginning of the Iraq war occurred. Suspected Sunni-Arab militants used five suicide car bombs and two mortar rounds on the capital's Shiite Sadr City slum to kill at least 215 people and wound 257. Shiite mortar teams quickly | 6,124,045 |

retaliated, firing 10 shells at Sunni Islam's most important shrine in Baghdad, badly damaging the Abu Hanifa mosque and killing one person. Eight more rounds slammed down near the offices of the Association of Muslim Scholars, the top Sunni Muslim organisation in Iraq, setting nearby houses on fire. Two other mortar barrages on Sunni neighborhoods in west Baghdad killed nine and wounded 21, police said.
After capture in December 2003, Saddam Hussein was hanged on 30 December 2006 after being found guilty of crimes against humanity by an Iraqi court.

10 January 2007, President Bush announced changes in the administration's political and military strategy in the Iraq War during a television speech broadcast. The speech and underlying strategy had been crafted under the working title "The New Way Forward." In the address Bush stated "America will change our strategy to help the Iraqis carry out their campaign to put down sectarian violence and bring security to the people of Baghdad. This will require increasing American force levels. So I've committed more than 20,000 additional American troops to Iraq. The vast majority of them—five brigades—will be deployed to Baghdad."
As part of this new strategy, 2007 saw several major military operations | 6,124,047 |

aimed at eliminating insurgent activities, increase support services such as medical facilities and utilities and the training of Iraqi citizens as police or military personnel.
The largest of these new operations were Operations Law and Order, Phantom Thunder and Phantom Strike.

AK-102
The AK-102 assault rifle is a shortened carbine version of the AK-101 rifle, which in turn was derived from the original AK-47 design and its AK-74 successor. The AK-102, AK-104, and AK-105 are very similar in design, the only difference being the caliber and corresponding magazine type. The AK-102 is an export version chambered to fire 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition.
# Design.
Compared to the AK-101 and AK-103, which are full-size rifles of similar design, the AK-102, 104, and 105 feature shortened barrels that make them a middle ground between a full rifle and the more compact AKS-74U. Whereas the AK-10x rifles have longer barrels, full-length gas pistons, and solid, side-folding polymer | 6,124,051 |
7541857 | AK-102 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AK-102 | AK-102
stocks, the AKS-74U is shorter, and features a skeleton stock.
The rifle's receiver is made of stamped steel. The magazine is lighter, and more durable than older models, being made out of reinforced fiberglass. The butt stock is made of plastic, making it lighter, more durable, and it is hollow, allowing a field kit to be stored inside of it.
The AK-102 uses an adjustable notched rear tangent iron sight calibrated in 100 m (109 yd) increments from 100 to 500 m (109 to 547 yd). The front sight is a post adjustable for elevation in the field. Horizontal adjustment is done by the factory or armory before issue. The AK-102 has a muzzle booster derived form the AKS-74U.

Rachel Campos-Duffy
Rachel Campos-Duffy (born October 22, 1971) is an American television personality. She first appeared on television in 1994 as a cast member on the MTV reality television series "". She is a contributor for Fox News. She has guest-hosted the Fox News show "Outnumbered." She has guest-hosted the ABC talk show "The View."
# Early life.
Rachel Campos was born in Tempe, Arizona, to Miguel Campos and Maria del Pilar. She has two brothers, one of whom is named Patrick Campos, and the other named Joseph Campos. Her sister, Leah Campos Schandlbauer, ran for Congress in Arizona in 2012. Campos and her sister were raised in a strict Catholic home. Campos' grandparents emigrated to | 6,124,054 |
7541701 | Rachel Campos-Duffy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel%20Campos-Duffy | Rachel Campos-Duffy
the United States from Mexico.
Campos graduated from Arizona State University in December 1993 with a degree in economics. She was awarded the Woodrow Wilson Graduate Fellowship, which she had planned to use to attend graduate school, with the goal of being a college professor. Campos earned a master's degree in international affairs from the University of California, San Diego.
# Career.
### San Francisco".
Campos was cast on "" in January 1994, and lived in the house on Russian Hill in San Francisco with her six housemates from February 12 to June 19. The season premiered on July 6, 1994.
Although the castmates were informed ahead of time that they would be living with someone who was | 6,124,055 |
7541701 | Rachel Campos-Duffy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel%20Campos-Duffy | Rachel Campos-Duffy
HIV-positive, they were not informed which housemate it would be. On the cast's first night in the house, Campos’ housemate, AIDS educator Pedro Zamora, informed the housemates that he had AIDS by showing them his scrapbook of his career as an HIV educator. Campos felt uncomfortable and initially distanced herself from Zamora, stating that she wanted to know how his health status would affect her. However, she said nothing to the other housemates for fear of appearing homophobic. Although Zamora took this as an act of rejection on her part, the two eventually became friends, with Zamora traveling to Arizona with Campos to visit her family. During her time on the series, she had both a romantic | 6,124,056 |
7541701 | Rachel Campos-Duffy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel%20Campos-Duffy | Rachel Campos-Duffy
relationship and tumultuous friendship with housemate David "Puck" Rainey. Judd Winick attributed this attraction on her part to her taste for rebellious men, or "bad boys". Campos conceded this, and admitted that she was sometimes an initial bad judge of character, and too trusting. Campos' friendship with Rainey eventually dissolved, as did Rainey's friendship with the rest of the cast, resulting in his eviction. Campos subsequently became best friends with Rainey's replacement, Joanna Rhodes, and the two of them were referred to by Winick as "high maintenance twins".
On the show and in MTV's promotional materials for the show, Campos was depicted as a passionate Republican, whose heroes | 6,124,057 |
7541701 | Rachel Campos-Duffy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel%20Campos-Duffy | Rachel Campos-Duffy
included Jack Kemp, and as a Catholic, though she conceded her strict religious upbringing fostered within her a rebellious streak that sometimes brought her into conflict with her parents. Her political viewpoints led to conflict with her housemates on more than one occasion, as when Mohammed Bilal ridiculed the Republican housing ideas that she expressed in Episode 3. In Episode 18, after Campos invited her housemates to a College Republicans function, self-described liberal Winick opined that the speakers at the function were sexist, homophobic, and racist, a view to which Campos objected as unfair.
In 1999 Campos filmed "", along with alumni of other past "Real World" seasons, such as Sean | 6,124,058 |
7541701 | Rachel Campos-Duffy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel%20Campos-Duffy | Rachel Campos-Duffy
Duffy of the "Real World: Boston" cast, whom she would later marry.
Campos-Duffy was one of ten "Real World" alumni who starred in the 2003 film "The Wedding Video", a "Real World" parody centered on the wedding of first season alumnus Norman Korpi.
## "The View".
She thrice vied for a role on the daytime television talk show "The View". After Debbie Matenopoulos left the show in 1999, Campos competed in an on-air try-out with Lisa Ling and Lauren Sánchez. Ling was eventually hired. After Ling's departure in 2002, Campos—who by then held her own "coffee talk" show with other Wisconsin housewives—again competed in a week-long on-air try-out, this time against Erin Hershey Presley and Elisabeth | 6,124,059 |
7541701 | Rachel Campos-Duffy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel%20Campos-Duffy | Rachel Campos-Duffy
Hasselbeck. In November 2003 Hasselbeck was hired to replace Lisa Ling. In July 2013 when Hasselbeck left "The View" to replace Gretchen Carlson as the female co-host of "Fox & Friends", Campos once again tried out, but Jenny McCarthy was hired to fill the spot.
## Fox News.
On June 21, 2018, during an appearance on the Fox News program "The Ingraham Angle", Campos-Duffy defended the Trump administration's controversial practice of separating immigrant families arrested crossing the US border. Speaking of the facilities where the children were housed, she said, "The detention centers are far safer than the journey that these children just came on. And I will say this...People aren't stupid. | 6,124,060 |
7541701 | Rachel Campos-Duffy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel%20Campos-Duffy | Rachel Campos-Duffy
I spoke to some African-Americans who say, 'Gosh, the conditions of the detention centers are better than some of the projects that I grew up in.'" The comments drew immediate criticism, including from African American Vox reporter Jane Coaston, "New York Times Magazine" writer Nicole Hannah Jones, Britni Danielle of "Essence" magazine, and filmmaker Ava DuVernay.
In 2017, Campos-Duffy praised Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte of Montana for physically assaulting Ben Jacobs, a reporter for "The Guardian". The incident occurred when Gianforte grabbed Jacobs, threw him to the ground and punched him after Jacobs tried to interview him about the Republican health care plan, which | 6,124,061 |
7541701 | Rachel Campos-Duffy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel%20Campos-Duffy | Rachel Campos-Duffy
Campos-Duffy called "Montana justice".
## Other work.
Campos-Duffy is the national spokesperson for the LIBRE initiative, a non-profit organization, funded by the Koch Brothers, that promotes ideas about constitutionally limited government, property rights, rule of law, economic stability, and free market capitalism to the Hispanic community.
Campos-Duffy supported Scott Walker in the Republican primary for the 2016 presidential election.
# Personal life.
After her stint on "The Real World" ended, while the fifth season of the show (set in Miami) was being filmed, Campos was involved in a head-on car collision after the driver of an oncoming vehicle fell asleep at the wheel. Campos' boyfriend | 6,124,062 |
7541701 | Rachel Campos-Duffy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel%20Campos-Duffy | Rachel Campos-Duffy
and his friend, who was driving their rented car, died in the accident. Campos was thrown out of the passenger-side window and sustained serious injuries to her right leg that caused permanent long-term problems such as arthritis, a limp and difficulty running.
Campos married her "" costar Sean Duffy. They lived in Ashland, Wisconsin, where Duffy was the District Attorney of Ashland County. In 2011, Duffy became a Republican member of Congress for the 7th district of Wisconsin. The Duffys moved from Ashland to Weston, Wisconsin in late 2011, and in 2013, they moved to Wausau, Wisconsin so that Sean would be closer to an airport for his weekly commute to Washington, D.C. where he spends three | 6,124,063 |

or four days a week.
In 2008, Campos-Duffy revealed that she suffered two miscarriages. As of May 2016, they have eight children.

Betty Boop and Little Jimmy are working out in an attic equipped with 1930s vintage exercise equipment. Betty sings the song "Keep Your Girlish Figure" and Little Jimmy responds with a verse "If you're thin, don't worry over that. Just begin to laugh and you'll grow fat".
Betty starts using a belt exercise machine, but gets into trouble when its control gets stuck. She sends Little Jimmy to get an electrician, but along the way he gets distracted and the object of his search keeps changing – magician, | 6,124,073 |

He pulls out the springs, placing them on his feet, and goes bouncing all through the neighborhood, breaking through a market canopy, bouncing higher, back to Betty's house and up to the attic window. Flying through, his foot disconnects the plug to the exercise machine. By now, Betty is pencil thin (her figure thinner than Olive Oyl's), and she looks so funny with the huge head and spindly body that she and Little Jimmy along with the furniture and scale laugh non-stop to the extent that both Betty and Jimmy blow up to be as round as balloons.

Hibiscus on the Sleeping Shores
"Hibiscus on the Sleeping Shores" is a poem from Wallace Stevens's first book of poetry, Harmonium. It was first published in 1921 and is therefore in the public domain.
# Interpretation.
The subject of the poem is boredom of an afternoon and being saved
from it by focus on an experience of brilliant color. The poetry of
the subject upsets traditional expectations, especially in the first
and last lines. Stevens is experimenting with iconoclasm. The informality and familiarity of "I say now,
Fernando" puts the reader off balance, and the last line provokes the
belle-lettrist who finds that in this poem Stevens "goes over to the Chinese". For such a critic | 6,124,078 |

poetry of

Fernando" puts the reader off balance, and the last line provokes the
belle-lettrist who finds that in this poem Stevens "goes over to the Chinese". For such a critic the poem lacks an appropriately "lacquer
finish" and is "marred by the intrusion in the last line of the
critical adjective 'stupid'".
‘Wink most when critics wince’, one might say, paraphrasing from "A High-Toned Old Christian Woman".
