People's Alliance, a group advocating for fairness in taxation, said that by declaring Texas as his residence, he did not pay $244,000 (about $ in today's money) in income taxes. "Money" had reported that Bush was paying less than 1% of his gross income in taxes while most Americans paid around 10%.
## Chapter 11 bankruptcy and post-bankruptcy.
In February 1992 Houstonian Properties Ltd., the owner of the hotel, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Two Houston-based hotel companies, Redstone Management and Wedge Hotels Corp., placed bids to buy The Houstonian. In December 1992 Redstone Hotel Inc. had completed its purchase of The Houstonian. Redstone paid $33.5 million ($ in today's | 6,132,800 |

money).
In 2003 the company Wayport Inc. of Austin, Texas installed new wired internet and high speed wireless internet services at the Houstonian. The firm scheduled completion for the end of February of that year.
As of 2001 George H. W. Bush frequently patronized the hotel astroturf jogging trail and bar. As of 2004 George H. W. Bush was a member of the hotel's health club. He received his haircuts at the hotel spa.
In 2008 the hotel completed a refurbishing of the guest rooms which added energy efficient features. The hotel spent $7.1 million ($ in today's money) in the refurbishing campaign, which was overseen by Kirksey architecture. The planning for the makeover took 18 months, and | 6,132,801 |
37324674 | The Houstonian Hotel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Houstonian%20Hotel | The Houstonian Hotel
the makeover itself took four months to complete. Katherine Feser of the "Houston Chronicle" said that it resulted in "Warm hues, rich fabrics and wood furniture set a residential tone".
In 2010 TripAdvisor.com ranked the hotel #9 on its list of top 25 hotels in the United States. The Houstonian was one of two Texas hotels on the list.

## Location.
The facility is located on a plot of land located on North Post Oak Boulevard, in proximity to Woodway and along the 610 Loop West Loop.
Tim McDonald of "Travel Golf", a website of the Golf Channel, said that the location, being in proximity to Uptown and Downtown meant that the hotel became a popular place for small and large meetings. | 6,132,802 |
37324674 | The Houstonian Hotel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Houstonian%20Hotel | The Houstonian Hotel
McDonald added that many celebrities and "most of Houston's elite" have visited the hotel because it is "hidden away in one of the more exclusive areas of the city." Mark Lupton, the director of sales, said "It's like a Who's Who of Houston"
## Hotel facilities.
Tim McDonald of "Travel Golf", of the Golf Channel, said "The Houstonian Hotel looks like something a big-spending, Texas oil baron might have built in the old days". The property includes a 294-room hotel, a spa named Trellis, a restaurant, a private health and fitness center club, and a conference center. The hotel property features a lobby that has a hand-carved stone fireplace that is tall. The hotel had of meeting space. In 2004 | 6,132,803 |
37324674 | The Houstonian Hotel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Houstonian%20Hotel | The Houstonian Hotel
the hotel had 288 guest rooms; McDonald said that most hotels of a similar size had about half of the meeting space.
McDonald said "You might think the lack of a golf course on the premises would detract from its allure for meeting planners, but its nationally known health club makes up the difference."
As of 2001 the restaurant, which featured fine dining, had the name Olivette. As of 2004 the restaurant had the name Manor House.
The Houstonian also featured a bar, named "The Bar."
### Aquatics center.
In 2005 the hotel opened an aquatics center, built for $3 million. Watts Pool Company provided construction services and Camden served as the general contractor. The center includes a competition | 6,132,804 |

It includes digital clocks, removable starting blocks, and a deck-level waterline that prevents the formation of waves. The resort pool has a sunning shelf, a "little lagoon" baby pool, various interactive waterfalls, and a slide built into a rock-scape. The garden pool includes a lap swim lane, has warmer water, and has Texas-style landscaping.
# Meeting services.
The hotel is designed to accommodate meetings, which as of 2004 generate half of the hotel's business. Mark Lupton, the director of sales, said in 2004 that "The Houstonian is a little different | 6,132,805 |
37324674 | The Houstonian Hotel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Houstonian%20Hotel | The Houstonian Hotel
than normal places. We're kind of like halfway between a luxury hotel and a full-fledged conference center."
As of 2004 the hotel's day meeting packages are $89 (about $ in today's money) per day per person. This rate includes meals, meeting spaces, and other amenities. The hotel includes genuine windows in meeting rooms, padded conference chairs, and other small luxury details. Hotel officials stated that the small details differentiate the hotel as a meeting space from other hotels. Lupton said "I can tell you that makes all the difference in the world. You can look outside and see all the greenery, versus staring at the wallpaper or the freeway. We call it an urban resort in its own little | 6,132,806 |

Double Star (board game)
Double Star is a 1979 board wargame published by Game Designers' Workshop.
# Game play.
"Double Star" is a two-player game about space warfare, and operates on the belief that warfare between two star systems is possible but expensive and difficult.
This game is based in a binary star system, where the two stars orbit each other, and each star has a different colony orbiting it. Each colony has both antipathy for the other colony and something the other colony needs, and so war begins. The board features both worlds as they orbit their respective stars, and both stars orbiting each other. These complex orbital movements must be taken into account when sending ships | 6,132,830 |

or trying to steer an asteroid into colliding with the opposing planet.
Strategic planning is key to the game, and players must purchase ships, defense units, power plants, and then allocate limited resources for training or combat. Since it takes several turns to move ships from one system to the other, offensives must be carefully planned in advance.
Several scenarios are offered, resulting in games that can last anywhere from a few hours to several gaming sessions.
# Reception.
In the March 1980 issue of "Ares Magazine", David Ritchie liked the game enough to award it 7 out of 9. "All in all, this is a honey that chooses to entertain by doing a few things and doing them well. Playable, | 6,132,831 |

rather than definitive, you might say. Moderately complex. May be played in an afternoon."
In the March 1980 edition of "Dragon" (Issue 35), William Fawcett enjoyed the ability to choose tactical formations for space fleets, and liked the rules, which he found to be simple enough to digest in 30 minutes. "There appear to be no serious ambiguities or omissions, although your first few spaceship-to-spaceship combats may drag a little until you become familiar with the formation system." Fawcett recommended the game, saying, "Double Star is one of the most solid science-fiction games this reviewer has played.

l you become familiar with the formation system." Fawcett recommended the game, saying, "Double Star is one of the most solid science-fiction games this reviewer has played. It holds together well and includes all of the major strategic considerations that can be expected in warfare of this type. It can take a considerable period of time to play... but involves enough combat and other decision-making situations to keep interest high."
In the August 1980 edition of "The Space Gamer" (Issue 30), Robert G. F. Marrinan gave it a favourable review, saying, "This is one of the most fun games that I've played in a while. Not to mention that it is a good simulation, too. What more could I ask for?" | 6,132,833 |

Prasophyllum pyriforme
Prasophyllum pyriforme, commonly known as the graceful leek orchid is a species of orchid species endemic to eastern Australia. It has a single tubular leaf and up to fifty greenish flowers with a pink or white labellum. As with others in the genus, the labellum is above the column rather than below it.
# Description.
"Prasophyllum pyriforme" is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single smooth dark green, tube-shaped leaf long and in diameter near its reddish base. Between thirty and fifty greenish or mauve flowers are crowded on a flowering stem long. The ovary is long, the petals are long and the lateral sepals are long, erect, | 6,132,834 |
55510661 | Prasophyllum pyriforme | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prasophyllum%20pyriforme | Prasophyllum pyriforme
linear to lance-shaped and fused at their sides for most of their length. The labellum is long, curves upwards to almost touch the lateral sepals and is pink or white with wavy edges. The callus in the centre of the labellum is greenish, wrinkled and extends almost to the tip of the labellum. Flowering occurs in November and December.
# Taxonomy and naming.
"Prasophyllum pyriforme" was first formally described in 1933 by Edith Coleman and the description was published in "The Victorian Naturalist" from a specimen collected near Doncaster. The specific epithet (pyriforme) is derived from the Latin words "pyrum" meaning "pear" and "forme" meaning "shape".

William A. and Etta Baum Cottage
The William A. and Etta Baum Cottage is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built in 1891, the 1½-story structure features a gable-end facade, brick foundation, and a small front porch with a gable-end roof. It is considered a good example of the gable-on-hip subtype of the Queen Anne cottage. There were only a few that were built with 1½-stories as most were two-stories. Its significance is based on how it demonstrates that a modest-sized dwelling can embrace the picturesque design. The cottage was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It was included as a contributing property in the Polk County | 6,132,837 |

Hero (board game)
Hero is a 1980 board game published by Yaquinto Publications.
# Gameplay.
"Hero", the first board game published by Yaquinto Publications., is an adventure game for 2-3 players set in the twisting maze of an underground catacomb.
Each player is given a certain number of points with which to buy attributes for his hero: courage, comeliness, class, intelligence, and luck. The player can also choose to purchase armour, although that will count against his score at the end of the game. Each hero is then given a separate dungeon full of monster to explore. The first hero to reach the dungon exit wins the favour of Princess Alysa and wins the game. If more than one hero reaches | 6,132,839 |
55510769 | Hero (board game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hero%20(board%20game) | Hero (board game)
her during the same turn, the princess chooses the game winner based on the sum of each hero's ability scores (subtracting points if the hero wore armour), as well as points for treasure found and number of monsters killed.
Game components include a record-album shaped slipcover that opens to reveal the dungeon maps, and 150 counters.
# Reception.
In the August 1980 edition of "The Space Gamer" (Issue No. 30), Paul Manz found it a simple and enjoyable game, saying, ""Hero" has very high-quality components. It's a relaxing change from the other, involved, complicated fantasy adventure games, and for [the price] it's a great buy!"

55510769 | Hero (board game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hero%20(board%20game) | Hero (board game)
In the November 1980 edition of "Dragon" (Issue 43), Roberto Camino found the production values to be professional and the cover art "eye-catching". Despite the relatively high cost and lack of replayability over time, Camino recommended it for players new to the fantasy genre, saying, ""Hero" is an enjoyable game, due greatly to the device of the player who controls a hero as well as the monsters which are arrayed against an opposing hero. However, after a few playings, it becomes repetitive and a bit worn. What "Hero" is tailor made for is as an introductory game, utilizing the strong allure of superior graphics to entice a newcomer, showing him a good game and leaving him wanting more." | 6,132,841 |

European Investigative Collaborations
The European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) network is a European collaborative hybrid project of transnational investigative journalism. EIC was established in the fall of 2015 with founding members, including "Der Spiegel", "El Mundo", "Médiapart", the Romanian Centre for Investigative Journalism (CRJI), "Le Soir", and launched in the winter of 2016. On March 18, 2016, after three months research, they published the results of their first joint investigation spurred on by the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, in which they revealed how in spite of security risk warnings, "the EU’s freedom of goods policy facilitated the sale of weapons leading to [the | 6,132,850 |

2015] terror attacks in Paris." In 2017 working with "over 60 journalists in 14 countries", the EIC published the Football Leaks—the "largest leak in sports history".
# Objective.
Through "joint reporting and publication", the EIA aims to strengthen the European transnational investigative journalism by joint reporting with the utmost transparency. They exchange documents and articles and coordinate publication, and to improve the tools used in their investigations from one investigation to another—for example in their data processing capabilities, servers, secure forums, etc.

Foreign support in the Bosnian War
Foreign support in the Bosnian War included the funding, training or military support by foreign states and organizations outside Yugoslavia to any of the belligerents in the Bosnian War (1992–95).
# Support to Bosnian Muslims.
- Iran, a predominantly Shia country, was one of the first Muslim countries to provide support for the Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks, who are mainly Sunni Muslim) in the war. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sent more than five (5,000 to 14,000 tons from May 1994 to January 1996 alone) thousand tonnes of arms to the Bosnian Muslims. IRGC also supplied trainers and advisers for the Bosnian military and intelligence service. | 6,132,864 |

Several dozen Iranian intelligence experts joined the Bosnian Muslim intelligence agency. The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence-supported mujahideen units trained selected Bosnian army units. The Hezbollah (Lebanese Shia), supported by Iran, also sent fighters to the war. In 1992, Iran with the help of Turkey smuggled arms to the Bosnian Muslims. Reports of "hundreds of tons of weapons" shipped from Iran over a period of months appeared in the media in early 1995. Iranian arms were shipped through Croatia. Robert Baer, a CIA agent stationed in Sarajevo during the war, later claimed that "In Sarajevo, the Bosnian Muslim government is a client of the Iranians . . .

CIA and the Iranians, they'll take the Iranians any day." By the war's end, public opinion polls showed some 86% of the Bosnian Muslim population expressed a positive attitude toward Iran. According to the scholar Cees Wiebes, during the war “Turkey and Saudi Arabia were very willing to deliver weapons and to lure Alija Izetbegović away from Iran, but the orientation of the Bosnian government was far more towards Iran.”
- Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) supplied the Bosnian Muslims with arms, ammunition and guided anti-tank missiles. Pakistan defied the UN's ban on supply of arms to the war (declaring it illegal, among other Muslim countries) and ISI airlifted anti-tank guided | 6,132,866 |

missiles to the Bosnian Muslims. Pakistan financially aided the Bosnian Muslims.
- Saudi Arabia assisted the Bosnian Muslims with funding, arms and volunteer fighters. Military operations were funded and supported by the Saudi High Commission (SHC), founded by Saudi prince Salman bin Abdul-Aziz. Saudi Arabia provided $300 million in arms supplies (and $500 in humanitarian aid) to the Bosnian government, in violation to the embargo and with the knowing of the United States.
- Turkey actively supported the Bosnian Muslims. It assisted Iran with smuggling arms to the Bosnian Muslims. The Turkish line included arms and money also from Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Brunei and Pakistan. Turkish private | 6,132,867 |

individuals and groups financially supported the Bosnian Muslims, and some hundreds of Turks joined as volunteers. Greatest private aid came from Islamist groups, such as the Refah Party and IHH. As a NATO member, Turkey supported and participated in NATO operations, including sending 18 F-16 planes. It was the first of the member countries to call for military intervention, and backed all US calls for engagement, and strongly supported air strikes. It has been noted though, that financial aid from the Turkish government was minimal.

Manor Farm, West Challow
Manor Farm in West Challow, Berkshire, England, is a building of historical significance and is Grade II listed on the English Heritage Register. It is a Queen Anne–style house with earlier parts. It was included in Candida Lycett Green’s book called "The Perfect English Country House". The property was owned by many prominent people over the centuries. Today it provides bed-and-breakfast accommodation and caters for special events, particularly weddings.
# Early history.
The village of West Challow was once called the Manor of Petwick and in about 1100 was held by the nuns of Amesbury. In 1541, at the time of the dissolution of the priory, the manor was granted to | 6,132,873 |

Sir Thomas Seymour, who sold it to the tenant Richard Plott. It descended through two generations of this family until it was sold in 1600 to Henry Martyn.
By 1635 it had passed to Ralph Pigott, and it remained in this family until 1802. The Pigott family were wealthy landowners in the area, and many of their monuments are still in St Laurence Church at West Challow. It is likely that one of them built the Queen Anne additions to the present Manor Farm. The most likely person is Francis Pigott, the heir, who married Ann Barr in 1724 at about the time of the new construction.
# Later owners.
In 1802 Thomas Hatton, a wealthy landowner who lived in Childrey, bought the manor from the Pigott | 6,132,874 |

family. He died in 1804 and left the property to his children. In 1818 an advertisement was placed in the newspaper by his son William Hatton for the sale of the farm. It stated that the Manor House came "with dove house, barns, stables, cow houses, and other outbuildings, yard and garden".
It was sold shortly after this to Daniel Agace, who lived in Ascot. On his death in 1828 the manor passed to his relative Daniel Ferard, who died in 1837, leaving it to his eldest son Charles Cotton Ferard. Charles owned the manor for about 50 years, during which time he let it to various tenants.
One group who rented the house for many years was the Hunt family. Uriah Hunt (1817–1870) took a lease on Manor | 6,132,875 |

a lease on Manor Farm about 1860. He had previously been on a smaller farm (about 130 acres) in West Challow with his wife Harriet and six children, but by 1861 he had moved to the Manor House and was farming over 500 acres and employing 17 men and 12 women. When he died in 1870, his son Frederick took over the farm and then later moved to the Rectory Farm in Cambridgeshire. He died in 1919 a fairly wealthy man.
Charles Cotton Ferard died in 1886, and in 1887 the property was advertised for rent. In 1899 the farm was sold to Robert Loyd-Lindsay, 1st Baron Wantage, and when he died in 1901, his wife Lady Harriet Wantage became the owner.

It is a one-and-a-half story brick and frame house with a front-facing gable. The brick is buff-colored.
It was deemed significant "as one of Paris' handsomest and most substantial bungalows. It is one of the relatively few in brick; it projects the characteristic features of the bungalow type while retaining a curiously Queen Anne quality in its exhuberant combination of textures and imaginative fenestration.
