Q1156477 The Pasig River (Filipino: Ilog Pasig and Spanish: Río Pásig) is a river in the Philippines that connects Laguna de Bay to Manila Bay. Stretching for 25 kilometres (15.5 mi), it bisects the Philippine capital of Manila and its surrounding urban area into northern and southern halves. Its major tributaries are the Marikina River and San Juan River. The total drainage basin of Pasig River, including the basin of Laguna de Bay, covers 4,678 square kilometres (1,806 sq mi).The Pasig River is technically a tidal estuary, as the flow direction depends upon the water level difference between Manila Bay and Laguna de Bay. During the dry season, the water level in Laguna de Bay is low with the river's flow direction dependent on the tides. During the wet season, when the water level of Laguna de Bay is high, the flow is reversed towards Manila Bay.The Pasig River used to be an important transport route and source of water for Spanish Manila. Due to negligence and industrial development, the river has become very polluted and is considered biologically dead (i.e., unable to sustain life) by ecologists. The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC), which was established to oversee rehabilitation efforts for the river, is supported by private sector organisations such as the Clean and Green Foundation, Inc. that introduced the Piso para sa Pasig (Filipino: "A peso for Pasig") campaign in the 1990s.

Q22958953 Bill DeLoach (born June 19, 1951 in Baltimore, Maryland), is a singer, keyboardist, guitarist, composer, vocal arranger, musical director, and music producer, who was a member of The Four Seasons and the musical director for entertainer Danny Gans.DeLoach's first break came in 1971 as a member of local Baltimore band Jake. Local singing artist and songwriter Renaud White saw the band at a club and was impressed by them. He was looking for a rhythm section to accompany him on part of a Jackson 5 tour. DeLoach performed on keyboards with White's band, now known as Renaud White and the Contraband.Late in 1971, friend and Four Seasons guitarist Demetri Callas recommended DeLoach as a replacement for departing keyboard player Al Ruzicka. During his stint with the Seasons, DeLoach he performed on several television shows with the band, singing most of the parts formerly sung by Bob Gaudio, founding member of the Seasons, who had gone on to writing and producing for Motown. DeLoach also had the opportunity to meet and spend time with performers like Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals and with the Bee Gees. These contacts with stars of the 1960s helped to inspire his later projects.De Loach also toured with the Seasons, culminating in a performance on March 25, 1973, at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, New Jersey. During the concert, DeLoach could not sing his solo selection, having come down with a suspected case of strep throat. Frankie Valli, lead singer of the Four Seasons, became very angry backstage and subsequently fired not only DeLoach, but also several other band members and the band's manager. Although this first stint with the Seasons did not end well, DeLoach went on to appear with the band for two additional tours over the next 30 years.After continuing to perform in various Las Vegas show bands, DeLoach got the opportunity to be a substitute in the band backing singer, comedian, and impressionist, Danny Gans at The Rio hotel in Las Vegas, before he joined the band permanently when it moved into the theater built for Gans at The Mirage. DeLoach provided backing vocals and played the keyboards in Gans' shows, following Gans to his final showroom at the Encore Theater at the Wynn, in February 2009. Gans died in May 2009.Following Gans death, DeLoach and his partner, singer Marilyn James, joined fellow Danny Gans band member Raphael Erardy and several other musicians, in a show created by DeLoach called, "Echoes of the 60s". It was a multi-media production that ran for 11 months from 2010-2011 at Planet Hollywood. The show covered different phases of the musical scene of the 1960s, from Motown to the Psychedelic era, as well as the British Invasion and Woodstock.DeLoach and James, along with Ray Allaire, are currently part of an acoustic trio called 3 of a Kind that performs songs by artists ranging from Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Peter, Paul, and Mary, The Bee Gees, and The Hollies, among others. They have most recently been performing at Mizuya Lounge, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The character of Lady Thiang in The King and I is loosely based on her.

Q4545294 The .357/44 Bain & Davis is a centerfire pistol cartridge designed ca. 1964 by Keith Davis, by partner and pistolsmith of the Bain & Davis Gunshop of San Gabriel, California. The purpose was to give improved velocity over the .357 Magnum by using the larger .44 Magnum case necked down to hold a 0.357 diameter bullet.Initially, Smith and Wesson Model 27 revolver cylinders were modified to accept the necked case. Two conditions were observed: The velocity produced at a moderate pressure was impressive, and the brass tended to set back if not scrupulously clean, tying up the action of the gun. As the cartridge was noticed by competitive silhouette shooters during the 1970's, Ruger Blackhawk revolvers were chambered for the round, and several barrels were made for the single shot Thompson/Center Contender Pistol. Rounds made for the Contender could utilize longer bullets seated further out than was possible with the revolvers.Some interest in the load has persisted until today (2018), due to the better ballistic performance of the 357/44 B&D compared to the .357 Remington Maximum, a straight-walled cartridge resembling the .357 Magnum, but longer.Hornady and RCBS both produced forming and loading dies that could be used to form and load using standard 44 Magnum brass.

Q1797704 Lyn was a 2-4-2 tank steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1898 for the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway. Between July 1897 and January 1898, employees of many British engineering companies were striking in an attempt to win the right to an eight-hour working day, leaving locomotive builders with large backlogs of unfulfilled orders. Thus, the Lynton and Barnstaple instead consulted the US based Baldwin to produce the engine they needed. After construction in Philadelphia, the loco was disassembled, shipped to Barnstaple, and reassembled by L&B staff in their Pilton workshops.Lyn, like all the locomotives on the L&B, was named after a local river with a three-letter name, the River Lyn.After the Lynton and Barnstaple became part of the Southern Railway, Lyn was taken to Eastleigh Works for major overhaul in 1928, returning the following year in Southern Green Livery and carrying the number E762 on the side tanks, as well as the original nameplates on the cab sides.Lyn was scrapped in 1935, when the line closed.
Q4928898 The Blue Blouse (Russian: Синяя блуза, Sinyaya Bluza) was an influential agitprop theatre collective in the early Soviet Union. Boris Yuzhanin created the first Blue Blouse troupe under the auspices of the Moscow Institute of Journalism in 1923. Their example encouraged similar workers' theatre companies across the country and worldwide; by 1927 there were more than 5,000 Blue Blouse troupes in the Soviet Union with more than 100,000 members. In the autumn of that year, the original troupe began a tour in Erwin Piscator's theatre in Berlin that provoked a rapid growth of agitprop troupes across Weimar Germany.The blue workers' uniforms, in which the actors performed, gave the troupe its name, under which they also published a magazine, which contained scripts and detailed descriptions of staging, costumes, and the troupe's other theatrical techniques, along with news reports and current affairs. Its variety style made many demands on its performers, requiring "a young deft man trained in physical culture, trained in the striking word, in the cheerful, bold and hard-hitting song and couplet, in the contemporary rhythm of the grotesque and simplistic," its magazine explained.The rehearsal process was extremely rigorous, requiring actors to stay physically and mentally alert through a strict exercise program and by keeping up with the political topics of the day. The year 1927 marked the end of the Blue Blouse organisation, when it was forced to merge with the more orthodox Workers' Youth Theatre (TRAM).
