Plot
After their victory against Maginot Girls' Academy at the 63rd National High School Sensha-dō Tournament, Commander Anchovy of Anzio High School's Sensha-dō club announces a secret weapon that they will be using against Ōarai Girls' Academy. After Yukari Akiyama infiltrated their school, Ōarai learns the weapon is a P 40 heavy tank. Miho Nishizumi visits the Hippo Team to learn more about the tank and learns that Caesar has a childhood friend at Anzio.
On the day of the quarter-final match, Ōarai's Duck Team goes into reconnaissance and finds Anzio's Semovente and Carro Veloce tanks already positioned ahead of them at the crossroad. Following the Rabbit Team's report on the number of same tanks they found, Ōarai finds a discrepancy with Anzio's number of tanks allowed during the match, learning the tanks their two teams encountered earlier are made out of cardboard and Anzio is trying to encircle them at the crossroad with their mobility.
With Anzio's plan being discovered, Duck Team pursuits the Carro Veloces led by Pepperoni and Rabbit Team flees from Semoventes. Anglerfish, Turtle, and Hippo teams encounter Anchovy's P 40, Anzio's flag tank, and engage in a fight, with Hippo Team fighting a Semovente led by Caesar's friend Carpaccio. Duck Team manages to disable several Carro Veloces, forcing Anchovy to order her remaining tanks to regroup with her. Ōarai corners Anzio, with Anglerfish Team's Panzer IV disabling the P 40 to win the match. After the match, Anzio treats Ōarai with their Italian foods.
In a post-credits scene, Anzio arrives earlier to watch the tournament's final match between Ōarai and Kuromorimine Girls' Academy, but they end up sleeping during the match after holding a huge party.

At the Heartful Tank Carnival event held in April 2013, the production of an original video animation (OVA) featuring the skipped match between Ōarai Girls' Academy and Anzio High School in the seventh episode of Girls und Panzer (2012) was greenlit.

In the same month, Anchovy's voice actress Maya Yoshioka, who also voices Taeko Kondō as her original role, revealed that she was selected by sound director Yoshikazu Iwanami when he asked who should voice the character since they had not decided during the recording of the seventh episode.
Post-production
Masato Yoshitake was revealed as the OVA's editor in February 2014. In May 2014, producer Kiyoshi Sugiyama revealed that the OVA was originally planned to be half-an-hour long but was extended by eight minutes due to the staff's desire to make it "in the same level as the movie" and new music being composed.

Helen Block Lewis (August 22, 1913 – January 18, 1987) was an American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Her work pioneered the study of the differences between guilt and shame. She founded the journal Psychoanalytic Psychology, taught at universities, was the psychoanalysis division president of the American Psychological Association, and wrote several books. Her books include Shame and Guilt in Neurosis, Psychic War in Men and Women, Freud and Modern Psychology volume 1 and 2, Sex and the Superego, and The Role of Shame in Symptom Formation.
Personal life and death
Helen Block Lewis was born on Henry Street in Manhattan, New York City, in 1913. She was a first-generation American and her parents were Eastern European Jews. While attending Barnard College at age 16, Lewis was in charge of the student newspaper and became a radical communist until she learned about the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Lewis graduated from Columbia University with a doctorate degree. She married classicist Naphtali Lewis. Her daughter is psychiatrist Judith Lewis Herman and Lewis encouraged her in academia while suggesting that she attend medical school to have "more power". Lewis also had a son John B. and two grandchildren. Lewis died at age 73 due to cancer at her Cambridge, Massachusetts, home on January 18, 1987.
Career
Lewis was an experimental psychologist and an instructor at Brooklyn College until the late 1940s, upon realizing that she could not receive academic tenure due to her having once been a part of the Communist Party. She was unable to be hired anywhere else for the same reason so she used her father's inheritance to train as a psychoanalyst. Lewis founded the journal Psychoanalytic Psychology along with being a practitioner, a supervisor, and a researcher. She also taught at The New School for Social Research and Swarthmore College. She was an educator at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis, the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, and the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health. After lecturing for the Graduate Training Program at Yale University and about psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine, Lewis started her own practice in 1945. Lewis analyzed the emotions of shame and guilt in relation to transference and countertransference. She was the psychoanalysis division president of the American Psychological Association from 1984 to 1985. Her books include Shame and Guilt in Neurosis, Psychic War in Men and Women, Freud and Modern Psychology volume 1 and 2, Sex and the Superego, and The Role of Shame in Symptom Formation.
Lewis' work pioneered the study on the differences between shame and guilt. Discoveries that Lewis made as a clinical psychologist at Yale University have influenced further studies of guilt, shame, and unacknowledged shame. Researcher June Price Tangney and her colleagues were able to confirm many of Lewis' findings. They learned that "the experience of guilt leads to a focus on specific behaviors" and is "less painful than shame" while being "remorse, regret, and tension without disrupting the unity of the self or impairing the self through global devaluation". On the other side, "shame is not about one's deed", but rather the "self". The "internal command of guilt" is to stop doing something for violating "a rule or standard" and to change the behavior. Shame's "internal command" is "Stop. You are no good".

Toki (sometimes Toki PDX or Toki Restaurant) is a Korean restaurant in Portland, Oregon.
Description
Toki is a Korean restaurant in downtown Portland, "spun off" from Han Oak and specializing in bao bun burgers and "snacky" brunch specials. The menu is an expanded version of Han Oak's and includes bibimbap, bulgogi, dumplings, gimbap, Korean fried chicken, noodles, and a steamed bao burger. There are three varieties of Korean fried chicken: Korean-style hot chili oil, sweet garlic soy glaze, and Han Oak's "essence of instant ramen" seasoning blend intended to taste like instant noodle flavor packets. According to Willamette Week, the Gim-bap Supreme "takes its inspiration from both Taco Bell and the TikTok "wrap" trend, in which a tortilla is partially cut into four quadrants, topped with four different ingredients, folded into layers, and griddled". The Buldak-ra-Bboki has been described as a "creative mashup" of buldak and tteokbokki. The brunch menu has doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches, including a bao bun with everything bagel seasoning, koji-cured pork belly or a sausage patty, egg, and cheese. Dalgona coffee is also served.
History
Peter Cho, chef and owner of the Korean restaurant Han Oak, and partner Sun Young Park opened Toki in January 2021, in the space which previously housed Tasty n Alder. Initially, the business operated via take-out during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Michael Russell of The Oregonian has said Toki was "fueled by tasty TikTok trends".
Reception
Toki was included in several Eater Portland lists in 2021: Alex Frane included the restaurant in "17 Spots to Grab Amazing Breakfast Sandwiches", Nick Woo and Nick Townsend included the Korean fried chicken in "14 Real-Deal Fried Chicken Spots in Portland", and Zoe Baillargeon included the Buldak-ra-Bboki in "Where to Find the Cheesiest Dishes in Portland and Beyond". Additionally, the website's Brooke Jackson-Glidden said Toki "has become a must-visit spot for downtown brunch". Portland Monthly included the pork belly breakfast sandwich in a 2021 list of "11 Breakfast Sandwiches to Get You out of Bed". The magazine's Katherine Chew Hamilton also included the restaurant in an overview of the city's best fried chicken.

Cladonia inflata is a rare species of terricolous (ground-dwelling) lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. Found in Bahia, Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres. The type specimen was collected by the authors from Palmeiras, on the Mount of Pai Inácio (part of the Chapada Diamantina mountains), at an altitude between ; here the lichen was found growing on siliceous sandstone rock in a transitional forest. Cladonia inflata is only known to occur at the type locality, and is only known from the type specimen. At this location the lichen is conspicuous but not abundant, and forms extensive mats with many other Cladonia species, such as C. bahiana, C. clathrata, C. dissecta, C. divaricata, C. friabilis, C. furfuracea, C. metaminiata, C. miniata, C. obscurata, C. parvipes, C. pityrophylla, C. polyscypha, C. salmonea, C. secundana, and C. substellata. The lichen has a fruticose (bushy), mineral-grey thallus that consists of upright hollow podetia measuring about high, atop a cushion up to in diameter. It contains the secondary compound fumarprotocetraric acid. The specific epithet inflata refers to the inflated thallus of the lichen.

The Rupert Village Historic District encompasses the 19th-century village center of Rupert, Vermont. Extending along Vermont Route 153 and adjacent roads, the village preserves a 19th-century landscape and a variety of structures important in the life and economy of the period. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.
Description and history
Rupert is a small rural community in southwestern Vermont which has had a generally agrarian economy since it was settled in the 1770s. Its village centered developed in the southwestern part of the town, near the confluence of the Indian River and Mill Brook. The village's oldest surviving building, the Congregational church, was built there in 1786, and it was for many years its center of civic affairs. The town grew rapidly in the years after American independence, reaching a peak population of 1600 in 1820. The village remained a focal point of the community, particularly after the arrival of the railroad in 1852.
The historic district extends mainly along Route 153 for about , extending north from the railroad in the south to Youlin Road and Rupert Mountain Road in the north. In addition to 74 historically significant structures, the district includes surrounding open land that historically formed an important part of the village's rural character. Most of the buildings in the district are wood-frame structures built in vernacular forms of architectural styles popular in the 19th century. The most architecturally elaborate building is the Methodist church, a Gothic structure built in 1884 with funding from J.H. Guild, the village's wealthiest resident and owner of a small patent medicine factory.

It is the first ever Tamil comedy play in the "sitcom" format. The sitcom follows the happenings in the daily life of a wife and a husband both named Ramany. Mr. Ramany is an innocent sales respresentative while Mrs. Ramany is a housewife who complains about how she wants a better husband. The first season starred Vasuki Anand and Prithvi Raj. It was first telecasted in 1998 in Sun TV and ran for 25 episodes. The second season starred Ram G and Devadarshini. It was telecasted in 2001 in Raj TV and ran for 51 episodes. It was one of the most popular Tamil comedy shows.
The sitcom again became popular after the series was uploaded on Kavithalayaa's YouTube channel. A new season titled, Ramany vs Ramany 3.0 is preparing for release with Vasuki Anand and Ram G, reprising their roles from season 1 and 2, respectively. The third season will aire on aha as a web series. The first episode will aire on 4 March 2022. Devadarshini will not reprise her role from season 2 for the third season.
Plot
Season 1
The story is about Mr. Ramany (Prithivi Raj) , a man with a silver spoon when he was born. He was the fourth child in the family and before him are his three agonising sisters. His three sisters envied him because he is the much-awaited male baby in the family. So he became so special to everyone especially to their parents. As time passes by, Mr. Ramany wanted to go to USA – somewhere away from his three sisters, from his army father who acts like their house is a military academy and from their mother who always lectures in their house since she is a primary school teacher. However, fate does not allow him to go. His family wanted him to marry a girl who has the same name as his name, Ramany (Vasuki). She lives in the USA for a short span of time. The two Ramanys are different individuals with distinct dreams but they are thrown to be together out of their destiny. The family was successful on getting the two married. But they appear to be an utterly incompatible couple, who agree to disagree on almost everything. Everyday comedy takes new shape in this serial.
Season 2
The show showcases the daily humorous happenings in the middle class household run by the housewife Ramany (Devadarshini) and her husband Ramany (Ram G) with their daughter Ramya. Both Ramany's long for their carefree joyous life when they were newly married and think about how life has changed for them after the arrival of their only daughter. Mr.Ramany is a sales representative who has a toxic level of humour. How Mr.Ramany often falls into trouble due to his innocence and how in the end his wife is the one to the rescue most of the times takes new shape in this serial. Mrs.Ramany is an ordinary Tamil housewife who complains about all the better suitors who were willing to marry her, her effort to make their middle class ends meet, about her husband who is not shrewd enough to earn more and the list goes on. Their daughter Ramya is the only person who speaks sense into them in ridiculous situations. Nair is Mr.Ramany’s family friend who stays in their outhouse for a meagre rent. Uncle Chandhru is a respectable person who knows only something about everything and gets into troubles. Mrs.Ramany’s mother and a gossip monger maid servant, Kamala adds spice to this story.

Bertrand N. O. Walker (1870 – June 27, 1927), who published under his Wyandotte name Hen-Toh, was an American Indian author of poetry and folktales best known for two books, Tales of the Bark Lodges (1919), and Yon-Doo-Shah-We-Ah (Nubbins) (1924).
Biography
Walker was a member of the Oklahoma band of the Big Turtle Clan. Born in Kansas City, Kansas, he was born around 1870, the youngest of eight children.
Walker was a descendant of William Walker (1800 - 1874), the Wyandotte leader who served as the first provisional governor of Nebraska Territory, which also encompassed the present-day state of Kansas. Originally given another Wyandotte name, he adopted the name "Hen-Toh" (he leads), which was once borne by his relative, Chief John W. Greyeyes (1820 – 1881).
In 1872, his father Isaiah Walker (1826 - 1886) moved from Kansas to Indian Territory, building a house in what is now Wyandotte, Oklahoma, that is listed in the National Register. Walker attended a Friends’ Mission School near Wyandotte that was later renamed the Seneca Indian School. From 1890 until his death in 1927, he worked in the Indian Service, first as a teacher and then after 1901 as a clerk in Kansas, Oklahoma, California, and Arizona. Between 1918 and 1923 he focused on writing and maintaining the family farm. In 1923, he took a position with the Quapaw Agency in Miami, Oklahoma, serving there until his death.
Writing
Walker read widely, and gathered folktales from older members of the Wyandotte, including Catherine "Kitty" Greyeyes (1822 - 1885), the wife of John W. Greyeyes. The Canadian ethnologist Charles Marius Barbeau credits Walker for facilitating his work on Huron and Wyandot Mythology (1915): "The author is much indebted to Mr. B. N. O. Walker not only for the valuable myths which he contributed ... but also for his many services in facilitating the work with other informants, by whom he is deservedly esteemed."
As Hen-Toh, Walker published two books, both issued by the Harlow Publishing Company in Oklahoma City. Tales of the Bark Lodges (1919), a collection of twelve stories, and Yon-Doo-Shah-We-Ah (Nubbins) (1924), a volume of poetry, chiefly character sketches and narratives. He also published in the Indian School Journal, Chronicles of Oklahoma, and other periodicals. Many of his folk-tales and poems are written in what he described as "the broken dialect peculiar alone to the 'old time Indian.'" As Daniel F. Littlefield and James W. Parins have noted, "Hen-Toh's close contact with old Wyandots had provided him a familiarity with not only Wyandot history and culture but also the rhythms of their English speech."
Despite his slim output Walker's work has been widely anthologized, most fully in Robert Dale Parker's collection of American Indian poetry published before 1930, Changing is not Vanishing (2010).
Critical reception
A number of scholars of Native American literature have drawn attention to Walker's work. One historian has called his writing "unabashedly romantic.” Another singled out for praise the “interesting character sketches and narratives” of Yon-Doo-Shah-We-Ah (Nubbins).
Calling Walker a "writer of exceptional talent whose works were never widely circulated." Daniel F. Littlefield and James W. Parins suggest that his stories are richly layered with meaning: "They are full of wit and humor and can be read simply for entertainment. Perceptive reader, however, will recognize the humor, which turns on the games of competition, trickery, and oneupsmanship played among the animals, as a vehicle for valuable lessons in such matters as etiquette, decorum, and mutual respect that formed a base of Wyandot society."
Robert Dale Parker finds parallels between Walker's work and the satirical work of the Creek humorist Alexander Posey (1873 – 1908), who published under the pseudonym “Fus Fixico,” setting them both in the larger literary context of regional humor. As he writes, “Posey and Hen-toh merged local Native English with the Old Southwestern and late nineteenth-century regionalist immersion in colloquial speech, most famously realized by Mark Twain, Finley Peter Dunne’s Mr. Dooley newspaper columns, and the poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar, all antecedents of the modernist preoccupation with literary perspective.”
In popular culture
The photograph by George Bancroft Cornish titled "Hen-Tah, Wyandot Chief" is a portrait of Walker in 1909. Cornish, who specialized in images of Native Americans and the West, misspelled Walker's name ("Hen-Tah" instead of "Hen-Toh"), and misidentified him as a chief. Another portrait by Cornish, probably taken at the same sitting, appears as the frontispiece to the original edition of Yon-Doo-Shah-We-Ah.
A portrait of Walker by Acee Blue Eagle (1907-1959) appears in the set of Famous Oklahoma Indians glassware produced by the Knox Oil Company in 1959.
A story by B. N. O. Walker was adapted in comic form as "A Prehistoric Race," with a script by Tom Pomplum and art by Tara Audibert.

James Morris Gale M. Inst. C.E. (1830 - 7 September 1903) was a Scottish civil engineer for the Glasgow Corporation Water Works. He is most famous for his work building the Milngavie water treatment works. The project directed water from Loch Katrine, 36 miles (58 km) to the north, which required the building of an aqueduct to carry the water to the city of Glasgow by gravity.
He became a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers on 2 February 1864.
He was a life member of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland and was president from 1867 to 1869.
Life and career
Born in Ayr in 1830, Gale was educated at the local Ayr Academy. At the age of 14 he moved to Glasgow and worked under his brother, William Gale, who was engineer to the Gorbals Water Company.
To extend his knowledge of engineering he attended the University of Glasgow, and studied under William Rankine.
Gorbals Water Works
While in the office of his brother he was employed in the design and in supervising the construction of the Gorbals Water Works. In 1854 Gale was assumed a partner by his brother and entrusted with the construction of the Balgarry reservoir, the largest of the reservoirs connected with Gorbals works. At the same time Gale drafted plans for the proposed enlargement of these works, which were considered an alternative scheme to the Loch Katrine project, then receiving attention.
Loch Katrine, Mugdock and Craigmaddie Reservoirs
In 1852 John Frederick Bateman was consulted by Glasgow Council in regard to its water supply. In 1854, on Bateman's advice, a bill was obtained to supply water to Glasgow from Loch Katrine. Gale was appointed as Resident Engineer on the city section of the scheme under Bateman, by whom it was designed and carried out. Bateman's assistant engineer, Alfred Moore, also became Resident Engineer.
Work commenced in 1855. The aqueduct is divided into two parts. The first is 41.5 kilometres (25.7 miles) long, between Loch Katrine and Mugdock Reservoir, on the outskirts of Milngavie. The second part is a 13km (8 miles) aqueduct of twin cast iron pipes from the reservoir into Glasgow. The 2.4m diameter subterranean tunnels are unlined and have been constructed to a flat gradient of 158mm per km (about 10 inches per mile). In 1859 the first stage of the works were completed. This included the first semicircular gauge basin in Mugdock Reservoir. It was opened by Queen Victoria on 14 October 1859 by opening a sluice near the centre of the south bank of Loch Katrine. Water began flowing into Glasgow on the 28th of December 1859. The works up to this point cost £1,330,000. Gale was then appointed chief engineer of the Glasgow Corporation Waterworks and took entire charge of the project.
Gale contributed to Thomas Annan's "Photographic views of Loch Katrine, and some of the principal works constructed for introducing the water of Loch Katrine to the city of Glasgow" (1877), providing descriptive notes to Annan's photographs.
At the end of 1881 Glasgow had increased in population so greatly that it became apparent a larger supply of water than the aqueduct could convey from Loch Katrine would be required within a few years. Accordingly an act was obtained in 1882 for the construction of an additional service reservoir adjoining the Mugdock reservoir, to be named Craigmaddie Reservoir. In 1885 a further act was obtained which gave power to duplicate the aqueduct, to raise the level of the water in Loch Katrine 5 feet higher, and to convert Loch Arklet into a reservoir by raising its water level 25 feet. Gale designed and led the new works.
The Craigmaddie service reservoir, adjoining the Mugdock, was to have a water surface of 86 acres and contain 700 million gallons of water. The two reservoirs together were to contain sufficient water for twelve and a half days' supply at the rate of 100 million gallons per day. The raising of the water level on Loch Katrine and Loch Arklet added an estimated 75 million gallons per day to the supply. Work started on 1 May 1886 and all works were completed by 11 June 1896. The reservoir was brought into operation on the 1 January 1897 after geological problems necessitated the excavation of a deep trench to ensure that it was fully watertight. The total cost of works since 1886 was nearly £1,500,000.
Describing the entire waterworks, Gale commented that they were as worthy to "bear comparison with the most extensive aqueducts in the world, not excluding those of ancient Rome".
Death and commemoration
Gale retired from his post in the Glasgow Corporation Water Works at the end of 1902. He died on 7 September 1903, aged 73, at his home in Aberfoyle.
A memorial to him was placed in the Glasgow Necropolis.
In 1904, the employees of the Glasgow Corporation Water Works erected a memorial water fountain in his honour. The Art Nouveau style monument features a bronze plaque with a profile of Gale, embedded into a roughly hewn block of granite. Supporting the block is a cairn style base of rubble masonry.

The Transquaking River is a river in southern Maryland in the United States. It starts in northern Dorchester County and flows south-southwest ending just outside of the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, approximately wide at its mouth on the north bank of the Fishing Bay, near the Chesapeake Bay to the southwest. The Transquaking River has a watershed area of about .
2021 Pollution incident
On December 21, 2021, the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) ordered Valley Proteins, an animal rendering and recycling company, to cease operations at their facility in Linkwood, Maryland after exceeding the local wastewater discharge permit limits. Valley Proteins has been continuously rising in recent years, reaching several hundred million dollars in annual sales. The plant was consistently dumping illegal amounts of fecal bacteria, ammonia, and phosphorus into the Transquaking River. For instance, during the summer of 2020, the plant exceeded ammonia pollution limits in the Transquaking River by 25 times.
As per complaint of Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh "Valley Proteins' own reports from 2019 to 2021 show that, on about 40 occasions, wastewater [the plant] discharged contained higher concentrations of ammonia, phosphorus and other pollutants than permitted - in one case about 725 times the limit." Reuters
Initially, the MDE offered $13 million USD of taxpayer dollars to pay for a private wastewater treatment facility for Valley Proteins. After backlash from the public and several state senators including Sarah Elfreth and Paul Pinsky concerning the MDE's handling of this situation, the MDE withdrew the funding and stated that they would be imposing penalties on Valley Proteins for their illegal levels of pollution. Michael Smith, the vice chairman of Valley Proteins, has stated that "[Valley Proteins is] working cooperatively with MDE to resolve the issue as quickly as possible."

Ammoglanis obliquus is a species of pencil catfish endemic to the Rio Preto da Eva drainage in the central Brazilian Amazon.
This species reaches a length of .
Description
Ammoglanis obliquus, a minute catfish species reaching a maximum adult size of 15.5 mm, is described from the Rio Preto da Eva drainage in the central Brazilian Amazon. It is distinguished from all of its congeners in possessing an exclusive combination of character states, including the presence and number of premaxillary and dentary teeth, number of interopercular and opercular odontodes, presence of cranial fontanel, number of dorsal-fin rays, number of anal-fin rays, number of caudal-fin rays, number of pelvic-fin rays, number of pectoral-fin rays, absence of pelvic splint, antorbital morphology, and absence of supraorbital and autopalatine morphology. It is considered to be a member of a clade also including Ammoglanis pulex and Ammoglanis amapaensis due to the unique oral, antorbital, and autopalatine morphology. Ammoglanis obliquus is regarded as more closely related to A. pulex than to any other congener, as both species exhibit a similar colour pattern, an absence of the metapterygoid, and the presence of two finger-like projections on the chin region.
Distribution
Known only from its type locality in Rio Preto da Eva drainage, Amazonas river basin, northern Brazil.
Etymology
From the Latin obliquus, meaning oblique, referring to the conspicuous diagonal banded coloration pattern of living specimens.
Ecological notes
This species is known only from a small clearwater tributary of Preto da Eva river, which is a left margin tributary of the Amazonas river. Individuals were found associated with a sand-bank lying on the centre of an artificial widening of the main course, next to a road. The stream course margins were lined by gallery rainforest, and the water column was about 1 m deep with a weak current. The sand-bank was composed of yellow coarse sand and with a few patches of small banks of macrophytes. Capture was accomplished by scooping of the superficial layer of sand with fine hand-nets. Specimens of Potamoglanis Henschel, Mattos, Katz & Costa, 2018 and Ammocryptocharax Weitzman & Kanazawa, 1976 were frequently captured together with Ammoglanis obliquus. This area as a whole is under high deforestation pressure due to local human occupation.

Şehzade Ahmed Nureddin (; 31 March 1852 – 3 January 1884) was an Ottoman prince, the son of Sultan Abdulmejid I and his wife Mahitab Kadın.
Early life
Şehzade Ahmed Nureddin was born on 31 March 1852 in the Old Çırağan Palace. His father was Sultan Abdulmejid I, son of Sultan Mahmud II and Bezmiâlem Sultan, and his mother was Mahitab Kadın.
Nureddin and his brothers, Princes Mehmed Reşad (future Sultan Mehmed V), Ahmed Kemaleddin Mehmed Burhaneddin, were circumcised on 9 April 1857 in the Dolmabahçe Palace. After Abdulmejid's death in 1861, Nureddin and his mother settled in the Feriye Palace.
Military career
In February 1864, Nureddin was enrolled in the Ottoman Military College together with his cousin Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin. Their tutor was Miralay Süleyman Bey. After graduating from the military college on 19 January 1865, Nureddin served in the 5th Division of the 3rd Talia Battalion of the First Army. On 2 July 1866, he was given rank of Senior Captain of the right wing. He, however, later left the army.
Personal life
Nureddin's only wife was Nazlı Emsâl Hanım. She was born in 1852. They married in 1870. She died childless in 1870–1871, and was buried in Yahya Efendi Cemetery.
Nureddin like his brothers, Sultan Murad V and Şehzade Ahmed Kemaleddin joined Proodos ("Progress" in Greek) Masonic lodge in 1873. This lodge was founded in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul in 1867, as an associate of the French lodge “Grand Orient.” The lodge's rituals
were conducted in both Turkish and Greek.
Death
Nureddin died of tuberculosis at the age of thirty-one on 3 January 1884, and was buried in New Mosque, Istanbul. His brother, Sultan Abdul Hamid II named one of his sons after him.

The Legislature of Río Negro Province () is the unicameral legislative body of Río Negro Province, in Argentina. It convenes in the provincial capital, Viedma.
It comprises 46 legislators, 22 of whom are elected in a single province-wide multi-member district, while the remaining 24 are elected in eight three-member districts that divide the province's territory, called "electoral circuits" (circuitos electorales). Its powers and responsibilities are established in the provincial constitution.
Elections to the legislature take place every four years, when the entirety of its members are renewed. The legislature is presided by the Vice Governor of Río Negro, who is elected alongside the governor every four years.
History
The Legislature was established in 1958, when the National Territory of Río Negro became a province of Argentina. The first legislature convened in the old building of the Teatro Argentino, in Viedma. In 1972, the military governor, Roberto Requeijo, ordered a series of renovations to better accommodate the legislature in the site of the Teatro Argentino.
Electoral districts
Legislators in both the province-wide district and the eight electoral circuits are elected through proportional representation using party-list proportional representation, with D'Hondt system and a 5% electoral threshold. The electoral circuits do not correspond to the province's departments, but are rather divided using municipalities as its main criterion.
The electoral circuits were first introduced ahead of the 1958 provincial elections, originally comprising six districts. The current distribution was established in 2013, when the electoral law was last modified.

William Thomas Edward Rolls (6 August 1914 – July 1988) was a British flying ace of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR) during the Second World War. He was credited with the destruction of at least 17 enemy aircraft.
From Edmonton in London, Rolls joined the RAFVR in 1939. Called up for service in the Royal Air Force (RAF) on the outbreak of the Second World War, he was posted to No. 72 Squadron in June 1940. He flew extensively during the Battle of Britain and destroyed a number of aircraft. After the battle, he performed instructing duties until late 1941 when he was posted to No. 122 Squadron and was part of several operations over the French coast. In mid-1942 he was sent to Malta, joining No. 126 Squadron. He shot down a number of aircraft before being hospitalised and repatriated to the United Kingdom as a consequence of injuries received during the aftermath of a bombing raid. Once recovered, he performed staff duties for the remainder of the war. In civilian life, he worked for a number of government departments, including the Air Ministry. Suffering heart trouble, he died in July 1988.
Early life
Born in Edmonton, London, on 6 August 1914, William Thomas Edward Rolls, known as Bill, was a scholarship student at The Latymer School. Once his education was completed, he worked as an engineering apprentice in a family member's company and as a sideline, made leather goods. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve in March 1939, training at No. 19 Elementary and Reserve Flying Training School at Gatwick and qualifying for his pilot's wings four months later.
Second World War
On the outbreak of the Second World War, Rolls was called up for service in the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a sergeant pilot. He underwent further training, at No. 3 Flying Training School in South Cerney and once this was completed in June 1940, he was posted to No. 72 Squadron. His unit operated Supermarine Spitfires from RAF Acklington, in Northumberland, but at the end of August it moved to Biggin Hill, where it would be heavily involved in the Battle of Britain.
Battle of Britain
Biggin Hill was a station under the control of No. 11 Group, which bore the brunt of the British aerial defence against the increasing attacks of the Luftwaffe. Within two days of No. 72 Squadron's arrival at Biggin Hill, Rolls shot down two enemy aircraft, a Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighter and a Dornier Do 17 medium bomber, over Kent. Then, on 4 September, he shot down a pair of Junkers Ju 87 divebombers, also over Kent. Another Do 17 was destroyed on 11 September and a second Do 17 was credited as being probably destroyed after Rolls initially claimed it as damaged. His Spitfire was damaged in a dogfight the next day, with bullets passing though the cockpit area close to his chest.
On 14 September Rolls shot down a Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter in an engagement near Canterbury, the enemy aircraft going on to crash at Bethersden. After an encounter a few days earlier resulted in more damage to his Spitfire, he shot down another Bf 109 on 20 September. This proved to be his last victory in the Battle of Britain as he went on leave the next day. His squadron commander recommended him for the Distinguished Flying Medal (DFM), and this was duly announced in The London Gazette in November. The published citation read:
Rolls spent the next several months on instructing duties, firstly at No. 58 Operational Training Unit (OTU) at Grangemouth and then No. 61 OTU in Heston. This relatively restful period was marred by the death of his daughter, born in early 1940, from a heart issue. He returned to operations in October 1941, being posted to No. 122 Squadron, based in Yorkshire. In April the following year, the squadron moved to Hornchurch where it took part in offensive operations to France. By this time he was a pilot officer, having been promoted on 6 January 1942. He destroyed a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 on 17 May while flying over Saint-Omer and was also credited with a probable Fw 190. On 2 June, he helped shoot down a further Fw 190, sharing the credit with another pilot, near Le Crotoy. He was also credited with the probable destruction of a Fw 190.
Malta
In late June Rolls was posted to RAF Debden in preparation for a posting to Malta, where he was to join part of the island's aerial defences. He was involved in testing whether a Spitfire could be flown off the deck of an aircraft carrier, HMS Furious; his suggestion of fitting a hydromatic propeller proved crucial to the aircraft's ability to achieve the feat. Furious subsequently carried a load of Spitfires and pilots, Rolls among them, for reinforcement of Malta's fighter squadrons, sailing from Greenock in Scotland in late July, bound for Gibraltar. The aircraft carrier departed Gibraltar on 10 August and the following day, Rolls led a flight of seven Spitfires off the deck of the aircraft carrier and onto Malta. He was posted to No. 126 Squadron and was soon in action; on 13 August while patrolling over a shipping convoy during Operation Pedestal, he was credited with destroying a Junkers Ju 88 medium bomber that was attacking the oil tanker SS Ohio. However, aviation historians Christopher Shores and Clive Williams note that this may be a half share, as it is possible that the commander of the squadron, Squadron Leader Bryan Wicks, inflicted damage on the Ju 88 as well. Later in the month, Roll was made a flight commander in the squadron.
On 19 September, Rolls and his wingman flew to the Sicilian coast, seeking out E-boats. Approaching Syracuse, he saw the wake of what he assumed was an E-boat but as he flew closer to attack, he realised it was a Dornier Do 24 flying boat that had just taken off. He promptly engaged and destroyed it. The Axis powers stepped up their aerial offensive against Malta in October, with a number of Luftwaffe units transferred to Sicily and North Africa for this purpose. Rolls, promoted to flying officer at the start of the month, was one of several pilots scrambled in the afternoon of 11 October to deal with an incoming raid mounted by 16 Ju 88s that were escorted by over 40 fighters of the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Air Force). He destroyed one Reggiane Re.2001 and damaged another but was attacked in turn; despite his engine being struck by bullets, he safely returned to the squadron's base at Luqa. He shot down a Ju 88 early the next morning over Grand Harbour but in the same engagement, the squadron's commander, Wicks, was killed. Later in the morning, on a second scramble, he engaged two Macchi C.202s near Gozo; he saw one blow up midair and gained hits on the other. The latter was claimed as a probably but he was subsequently credited with the destruction of both aircraft as two C.202s were seen to have gone down in the sea.
On 25 October Rolls was leading a flight that engaged Italian bombers and escorting C.202s. His aircraft was damaged in the ensuing encounter and one of his pilots, Nigel Park, failed to return. Rolls and others carried out a search and rescue operation but were unable to locate Park, who was subsequently deemed to have been killed. According to another pilot, Rolls had earlier recommended Park for a DFM. The next day, Rolls was one of eight aircraft of No. 126 Squadron that intercepted around 35 Bf 109s out from Malta, breaking up the formation. Rolls then patrolled off Filfla and engaged two Bf 109s that he saw diving on Luqa. One was confirmed as destroyed.
The intensity of aerial operations eased in November for Malta's fighter pilots but during the month Rolls suffered a broken leg when the wall of a building, damaged during a bombing raid, fell on him. While in hospital in Malta, he reported meeting the pilot of one of the Ju 88s he had shot down the previous month. Rolls was repatriated to England for treatment and during his return flight, the Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boat on which he was travelling ran out of fuel. It had to put down off the Welsh coast and was towed to port by a destroyer of the Royal Navy. During his hospitalisation at the Royal Naval Hospital in Swansea, his award of a Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) was announced in The London Gazette. The recommendation for the DFC noted his "outstanding leadership" and "great courage and skill".
Later war service
On recovering from his injuries, Rolls was posted to the Air Ministry where he was involved in publicising the RAF's efforts in the war. He gave a number of talks for the "Wings for Victory" fundraising drive. In September 1943, he went to Manby where he commenced a training course at the Air Armament School. On completion of the course in the spring of 1944, he was transferred to the headquarters of No. 12 Group as a specialist in armaments. By this time, he held the rank of flight lieutenant, having been promoted at the start of the year.
In late 1944, Rolls was posted to the Bombing Analysis Unit and his work saw him based in France from June the following year. He subsequently spent a period of time attached to the United States Air Evaluation Board. He ended the war credited with having shot down 17 enemy aircraft with a share in another aircraft destroyed. He is also credited with three probably destroyed and two damaged.
Later life
Demobilised in January 1946, in civilian life Rolls worked for the public service, firstly with the Ministry of Works as a film officer. He then worked for the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, based at the organisation's headquarters in London. His role here was as an exhibitions officer, organising events at Olympia and Earl's Court. In 1960 he took a position at the Air Ministry as a senior information officer, producing over 150 training films for the RAF. After eight years, he was appointed director of the Directorate of Training Films Requirements. He retired in September 1975 due to poor health. He died in July 1988, having suffered heart trouble for some time. Prior to his death, his memoirs were published as Spitfire Attack.
In 2008, his son put his medals, which in addition to the DFC and DFM also included the 1939-45 Star with Battle of Britain clasp, Air Crew Europe Star with France and Germany clasp, Africa Star with North Africa 1942-43 clasp, the Defence and War Medals and Air Efficiency Award, up for auction in and they fetched £90,000. The medals are presently owned by Lord Michael Ashcroft.

Jonathan Paul Cooper (22 September 1962 – 18 September 2021) was a British barrister and human rights activist, described by The Guardian journalist Owen Boycott as "at the forefront of efforts to decriminalise homosexuality around the world". He practised at Doughty Street Chambers and edited the European Human Rights Law Review. In 2011, he co-founded the Human Dignity Trust, a UK-based charity that focuses on strategic litigation against the criminalization of homosexuality worldwide, and served as its director until 2016.
Cooper was openly gay and married to art historian Kevin Childs; they had been together since 1992.
Life and career
Cooper was born on 22 September 1962 in Salford. His father, Peter, was a lecturer at Manchester University in psychology, while his mother, Jackie, worked in market research. Cooper attended Dartington Hall School then studied psychology at Goldsmiths College, but left without a degree. He later studied history at Kent University. He studied law with the intention of helping underprivileged people and was called to the bar in 1992.
He worked as Liberty's legal director and later for Justice from 1997 until 2003 when he resigned in order to practise law. At the time of his death, he was a board member of the Granta Trust. He was made an OBE in 2007 "for services to human rights". The cases he worked on included LGBT people and military service, the treatment of asylum seekers in Greece, and Belarusian pro-democracy activists. In 2018, he campaigned against Brexit by declaring Totnes an independent city-state and distributing mock passports.
Cooper died four days before his 59th birthday while walking with his husband in the Scottish Highlands on 18 September 2021. Shortly before his death, Cooper was working with Helena Kennedy on a proposal to ban conversion therapy.
He received tributes from Kennedy, Geoffrey Robertson, Peter Tatchell, Jayne Ozanne, Nancy Kelley, Michael Cashman, and Philippe Sands.

Rosalind Goodrich Bates (July 29, 1894 – November 14, 1961) was an American lawyer and clubwoman, based in Los Angeles, California. She was a founder and president of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA).
Early life and education
Rosalind Anita Goodrich Boido was born in 1894, in Sonsonate, El Salvador, the daughter of Norberto Lorenzo Boido Basozabal and Rosa Meador Goodrich Boido. Her father was born in Mexico and her mother was from Texas. Both parents were physicians; her mother was also active as a suffragist and temperance worker in Arizona. Rosalind Goodrich attended the University of Arizona, and graduated from the University of Oregon, where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1917 and a master's degree in 1918. She earned a law degree from Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, and passed the Califorrnia bar in 1926, "one of the first Latina lawyers in the United States."
Career
After early work as an editor and actress in New York, Bates was a trial lawyer in Los Angeles. She was president of the California Business Women's Council, and also of the Los Angeles Business Women's Council, and active in the Los Angeles Women's Club. She was vice-president of the Los Angeles Lawyers Club and headed the international department of the Women's University Club. "Every woman lawyer who actually earns her living in the practice of law is an exceptional woman," she declared in 1932. "To survive the hard grind of study, and the worst grind of private practice or the demands of public office, requires good health, good brains, and most important, good luck."
Bates was an officer of the National Association of Women Lawyers, and organized the group's national gatherings in Los Angeles in 1935 and 1939. In 1944 she was a founder of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA); in 1949 she was president of FIDA. She edited and wrote essays for The Women Lawyers’ Journal. In 1952, she testified before the President's Commission on Naturalization and Immigration, on the subject of adoption, immigration, and citizenship procedures for Japanese-American "war babies". She ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Los Angeles Board of Education in 1953. She was the first woman to serve on the board of directors of the Southwestern Alumni Association.
Personal life
Rosalind Goodrich married writer and editor Ernest Sutherland Bates in 1913. They had two sons, Roland and Vernon, before they divorced in 1919. She married her college drama co-star, blind writer Leslie Burton Blades, in 1919; they divorced in 1923. Her son Roland, her law partner, died in 1958, and her mother died in 1959.
Death
Rosalind Goodrich Bates died in 1961, aged 67 years, shot to death at her home in Silver Lake. One suspect was a man involved in a custody battle with one of Bates' clients; he was arrested but later cleared. Her murder remains unsolved.

Cladonia lichexanthonica is a rare species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. Found in Bahia, Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres. The type specimen was collected by the authors from the Morro do Pai Inácio (in Chapada Diamantina National Park) at an altitude between ; here the lichen was found growing on siliceous sandstone rock in a transitional forest. Cladonia lichexanthonica is only known to occur at the type locality (part of the Chapada Diamantina mountains), and is only known from the type specimen. The lichen has a squamulose (scaley) thallus measuring up to in diameter; this consists of a thick crust comprising individual crowded squamules, pale-olive green to olive brown, measuring 1–5 mm in size. The specific epithet lichexanthonica refers to the presence of lichexanthone, a secondary compound that was not previously known to occur in genus Cladonia.

Newburg is an unincorporated community located in Comanche County, in the U.S. state of Texas. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 35 in 2000.
History
The area in what is known as Newburg today was first settled in December 1854. It was originally known as South Leon for the southern Leon River. The community's local Baptist church was organized in July 1872. Its membership reached 48 members in 1875, with the first grave being placed in the community's cemetery that year. The congregation moved to another church building near the cemetery shortly after. A post office was established at Newburg in 1883 and remained in operation until 1908. It originally had the name Lee for local settler Add Lee and was changed to Newburg at his request the year after it opened. Newburg's population was 18 in 1890 and had a general store that same year. It gained a blacksmith shop, a cotton gin, and a gristmill six years later. Another Baptist church was built in 1906 and remained in the community in the 1990s. Its population was reported as 74 in 1936. The church and the cemetery were still in the community in 1940, along with one business and several scattered houses. Its population remained at 74 until it went down to 35 through 2000.
Geography
Newburg is located at the intersection of Farm to Market Roads 2561 and 1476 off Texas State Highway 16, some south of Comanche in southern Comanche County.
Education
A building made of logs was used as the first school in the community in 1896. The local Baptist church met at the schoolhouse each year. The church near the cemetery was also used as a school. It had 101 students and four teachers in 1937 and continued to operate in 1940. It then joined with the Comanche Independent School District in the 1950s. The community continues to be served by the Comanche ISD to this day.

Watercress is a children's book written by Andrea Wang, illustrated by Jason Chin, and published March 30, 2021 by Neal Porter Books.
In 2022, the book won the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature for Picture Book, Caldecott Medal, and Newbery Medal.
Synopsis
A young girl is in the car with her brother and parents when they come across wild watercress growing on the side of the road. Her parents excitedly pull over and instruct the children to help them gather the watercress. The girl feels embarrassed to be seen by passing cars and disgusted by the mud and snails that are on the plants. The watercress is prepared for dinner that night, but the girl initially refuses to eat it because she is ashamed of their "dinner from a ditch". Her mother brings out a picture from her childhood and, for the first time, talks about the famine that her family suffered. Feeling guilty, the girl takes a bite of the watercress. She discovers that she likes the taste and reflects on the new memory she and her family have created.
Reception
Watercress is a Junior Library Guild book. It was met with critical acclaim, including starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, and Shelf Awareness.
Kirkus Reviews called the book "[u]nderstated, deep, and heart-rending." Writing for School Library Journal, Elissa Cooper called Watercress "[a] powerful story sure to awaken empathy and curiosity." Publishers Weekly said it was "[a]n adept gem of a picture book, encompassing both universal intergenerational embarrassment and a specific diasporic shift in cultural perception."
Watercress was named one of the best children's books of 2021 by BookPage, The Boston Globe, Chicago Public Library, The Horn Book, Kirkus Reviews, The New York Public Library, The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, Shelf Awareness, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Center for the Study of Multicultural Children's Literature also included it in their list of the year's best multicultural children's books.

An aspirant state is a polity which seeks to achieve international recognition as a sovereign state. This can involve separatist polities seceding from their parent state with or without legal permission or individuals seeking to establish a novel state in what is considered international territory. Regardless of its founding circumstances, all aspirant states claim sovereignty over their claimed territory and seek formal recognition of their statehood in international society. Such an entity is only considered an aspirant state while it formally claims sovereignty but has not achieved international recognition as a sovereign state. Consequently, an aspirant state could be recognized by no other political entities or many other political entities, its status as an aspirant state or a sovereign state is subjective and there are multiple different theories which seek to delineate what qualifies as statehood.
Examples of aspirant states can include sovereignty seeking forms of: micronations, aspirant nations, disputed states, quasi-states, and proto-states.

Hollywood Opening Night is an American anthology television program that was broadcast on CBS in 1951-1952 and on NBC in 1952-1953. The NBC version was the first dramatic anthology presented live from the West Coast. Episodes were 30 minutes long.
CBS version
The CBS version debuted on July 13, 1951, and ended on March 28, 1952. Until March 1, 1952, it was sponsored by Ennds chlorophyll tablets, manufactured by Pearson Pharmacal Company, that product's first venture into being a regular sponsor on TV. Episodes were reruns of stories produced by Music Corporation of America, originally shown on Stars Over Hollywood.
NBC version
On NBC Hollywood Opening Night ran from October 6, 1952, until March 23, 1953. It replaced Lights Out and was replaced by Eye Witness. Besides the change in networks, the content changed from filmed episodes to live broadcasts, and the show began originating from the then-new Burbank studios of NBC. Host Jimmie Fidler introduced each episode from a set that resembled a theater, and he followed each episode with a preview of what was scheduled for the next week. Ethel Barrymore, Dorothy Lamour, and Gloria Swanson made their TV dramatic debuts on the program.
Competing shows on other networks included The Big Idea on DuMont, Perspective on ABC, and I Love Lucy on CBS. Pearson again was the sponsor. Fidler blamed the show's demise on its being broadcast at the same time as I Love Lucy, the top-rated TV program at that time. He wrote that he had often asked executives at NBC about moving the show to another night, but they kept it in the same time slot.
William Corrigan was the program's producer and director, with Marilyn Evans as associate director. Boris Sagal was the story editor, and Fred Albeck was the musical director.
Reception
Columnist Jack Gould of The New York Times wrote that the premiere episode on NBC "was alleged to be a comic treatise on a baseball umpire". He compared one scene to "the Three Stooges of vaudeville" and noted that star William Bendix frequently was seen looking for a prompter to help with his lines.
Syndicated columnist John Crosby considered the fact that the program was performed before a live audience to be a disadvantage. He noted the overacting of the performers ("all pretty frantic") in the episode that he reviewed, attributing it to the actors' performing more for the in-house audience than for people who were watching on TV. He summarized Hollywood Opening Night as "a pleasant, well-lit, well-upholstered vacuum of a show which should kill a half hour of your time as painlessly as possible."

Karl Taylor (born May 4, 1971) is a Canadian professional ice hockey head coach for the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League (AHL). He previously served as the head coach of the Chicago Wolves, Texas Stars, and Ontario Reign.
After concluding his major junior carer in 1991, Taylor spent five years with the University of New Brunswick (UNB) men's ice hockey team. He then took a year off from hockey to complete his Master's degree before returning to UNB as an assistant coach in 1997. During his short tenure with the UNB Reds, Taylor helped lead them to the 1998 CIAU championships.
Early life
Taylor was born on May 4, 1971, in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. As a teenager, Taylor moved to Barrie, Ontario in order to play with the Barrie Colts of the Southern Ontario Junior "B" Hockey League. Following his first season with the Colts, Taylor was drafted 15th overall by the Windsor Spitfires in the 1988 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Midget Priority Draft. While with the Spitfires, Taylor was moved from his original position of left wing to defence. He scored eight goals and added 15 assists during the 1988–1989 season before being traded to the London Knights in January 1990. His tenure with the Knights was short-lived however, as he was traded to the North Bay Centennials in November 1990.
Collegiate and assistant coaching career
Taylor concluded his major junior career in 1991 to play five years with the University of New Brunswick (UNB) men's ice hockey team. He then took a year off from hockey to complete his Master's degree before accepting an assistant coaching position with a Fredericton midget AAA team. Taylor spent one year with the team before returning to UNB as an assistant coach in 1997. During his short tenure with the UNB Reds, Taylor helped lead them to the 1998 CIAU championships. At UNB, Taylor was convinced by head coach Mike Johnson to join the National Coaching Institute (NCI) where he completed his master's degree in Sports Management.
Upon returning from the NCI, Taylor became a co-coach late in the season with the Calgary Flames midget AAA team along with Mark Howell. While attending a symposium, he was notified of an opening for a coaching position with the Red Deer College Kings ice hockey team. He eventually accepted the position in May 2000. Prior to his first season in this role, Taylor lost two defencemen and struggled to fill the lineup. He was eventually let go from the organization after three years as he failed to complete one the requirements of his probation.
Professional coaching career
Upon leaving Red Deer College, Taylor was named head coach and director of hockey operations for the Reading Royals of the ECHL prior to the 2005–06 season. During his first season with the team, Taylor led them to a 42–23–7 regular-season record and was selected as the co-coach for the American Conference at the ECHL's 2006 All-Star game. This marked the organization's second 40-plus win season in team history and third consecutive playoff appearance. In his third season with the team, Taylor amassed a 112–82–22 total record as the Royals lost in the second round of the 2008 Kelly Cup playoffs to the eventual-champion Cincinnati Cyclones. He eventually left the Royals organization in 2008 once they landed an ECHL affiliation with the Los Angeles Kings and became the first head coach of the Ontario Reign. During their inaugural season, Taylor helped lead the team to a 7–4–1–1 record through their first 13 games. Their success continued through the 2008–09 season as he helped them capture the 2009 Pacific Division championship.
Taylor remained with the Reign until 2011 when he accepted an assistant coaching position with the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League (AHL). He spent the 2011–12 season with the Wolves, where he helped the club post a 42–27–7 record during the regular season to win the Midwest Division title. Following his first tenure in the AHL, Taylor spent one season as a scout for the Vancouver Canucks before joining the Portland Winterhawks organization in the Western Hockey League (WHL) as an assistant coach. As an assistant coach with the Winterhawks, Taylor helped lead them to a 54–13–5 record and advance to the 2014 WHL Championship Finals against the Edmonton Oil Kings. As such, he was recruited by the Dallas Stars organization to coach their AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars, during the 2014–15 season.
Taylor remained with the Stars organization for four years, amassing a 152–108–30–14 record as they made the playoffs in three of his four seasons. In his final season with the Stars organization, Taylor led the team to a 38–24–14 regular-season record as they met with the Toronto Marlies in the 2018 Calder Cup Finals. He eventually left the Stars to become head coach of Milwaukee Admirals, the AHL affiliate of the Nashville Predators. During the 2019–20 season, Taylor received the Louis A. R. Pieri Memorial Award as the league's most outstanding coach during the season. As a result of the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, Taylor was called up to the NHL as a replacement for the Predators' head coach in December 2021. He subsequently coached the Predators to a 5–2 win against the Colorado Avalanche on December 17, 2021.
Personal life
Taylor and his wife, Bev, have two children together. They spend much of their offseason at a family farm in Saskatchewan.

6-Fluoro-DET (6F-DET, 6-fluoro-N,N-diethyltryptamine) is a substituted tryptamine derivative related to drugs such as DET and 5-fluoro-DET. It acts as a partial agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor, but while it produces similar physiological effects to psychedelic drugs, it does not appear to produce psychedelic effects itself even at high doses. For this reason it saw some use as an active placebo in early clinical trials of psychedelic drugs but was regarded as having little use otherwise, though more recent research into compounds such as AL-34662 and AAZ-A-154 has shown that these kind of non-psychedelic 5-HT2A agonists can have various useful applications.

Bill Israelson (born February 21, 1957) is an American professional golfer. Israelson had an exemplary amateur career in the late 1970s, culminating with three consecutive victories at the Minnesota State Amateur. He struggled in making it onto the PGA Tour, however, failing in four consecutive attempts at q-school in the early 1980s. In the interim he played primarily on the Asia Golf Circuit, recording a win at the 1985 Thailand Open. Israelson finally made it onto the PGA Tour later that year but he did not have much success on tour, playing for only two seasons, missing the cut in the majority of his events and recording only one top ten. For the remainder of his career, Israelson primarily worked as a club pro though still played in some notable midwestern events, winning the Minnesota Senior PGA Professional Championship six times.
Early life
Israelson was born in Brainerd, Minnesota. Israelson is from Bemidji, Minnesota. Israelson started caddying at Bemidji Town Country Club at the age of 10. Much later in life he said, “I worked my way up from a caddy, to the shoeshine guy and just about every other job." Larry Perkins, a high school teacher and notable golfer from Bemidji, served as his mentor during his early years. At the age of 13, he won the club championship at Lost River Golf Course in Gonvick, Minnesota.
Israelson was on the golf team and hockey team at Bemidji High School. He was considered a "standout" player on the hockey team. During his senior year he was one of the captains.
Amateur career
Israelson received much media attention for his play on the Bemidji golf team. During his sophomore year, in the spring of 1973, he received media attention for one of the first times. At the two-round high school state golf tournament, Israelson shot an opening round 72 to put him in a tie for fourth place among individuals, two back of the lead. At the end of the school year he played well at the state championship. During the summer he won the Birchmont and Bagley shortstops. His win at Birchmont was "his first noteworthy victory."

Israelson was the medalist by two strokes over teammate Craig Stubbins, shooting a 74. Overall, Israelson's team won the event with Fergus Falls coming in "a distant second," 14 strokes behind. It was the team's third win in five matches. The following week they played the nine-team Walker Invitational. Despite playing without "top performer" Stubbins, the Bemidji team finished in second place at 397, four shots behind the leading Roseau High School team. Israelson was medalist once again. The following week they played the nine-team Thief River Falls Invitational. The Bemidji team finished in second place while Isrealson, with a score of 73 (+1), was medalist once more. Due to his good performances over the course of the season, Israelson was honored as a "letter winner" at Bemidji High School. Shortly thereafter, the Bemidji team won the Region 8 title, defeating second-place holder Roseau once again. On June 6, the Lumberjacks started play at the Minnesota state championship. According to The Pioneer, Bemidji's town newspaper, Israelson was now considered the team's "leader." Later in the month, they easily defeated the Mahnomen golf team by 20 strokes at the opposition's home course. Israelson was medalist at the event. In the summer, after the school year had ended, he was slated to attempt to defend his Birchmont championship. He was considered one of the "top contenders." However, he lost to Gary McDonald in the first round, however. He did go on to win the Championship Consolation, though, defeating Colonel N.A. Lucas of Riverside, California. In early August he played the State Junior Golf Tournament. The event was held at Gross National Golf Club. Israelson opened with a 75 (+4) to put him several shots back of the lead. However, he closed with an even-par 71 to finish in a tie for fourth. Overall, the Bemidji team finished seven shots back at 442. The following week he played the two-round Minnesota Jaycee Junior Golf Tournament. The event was held at Virginia Municipal Golf Course in Virginia, Minnesota. Israelson played against over 120 competitors in defense of his championship. On the final hole, Israelson made a 15 foot birdie putt to win the event by one over Tom Harper. In the late summer, he also won the Park Rapids big Heartland shortstop, Vandersluis Memorial, and Tianna shortstop.
In the spring of 1975, during his senior year, Israelson had a number of highlights. In late April, Bemidji played the 12-team Bagley Invitational event. The tournament was played in "miserable weather," with high winds and rain. Israelson shot a 75 (+3), "excellent for the conditions," to earn medalist honors. Overall, Bemidji finished in second place at 325, seven back of champion Moorhead High School. On May 12, Bemidji played the Northwest Conference championship. They won the event, defeating Fergus Falls by 11 strokes. Israelson tied for medalist. At the "companion" Fergus Falls Invitational, Israelson's team also won. Israelson was also co-medalist. The following week they won the District 25 title. With the win the Bemidji team qualified for the Region 8 meet. Israelson also qualified as an individual. In early June, the team played the two-round Minnesota high school golf tournament. The event was in Minneapolis at the University of Minnesota Golf Course. The team competition was determined in the first round. Israelson had the low score among individuals, with a 70, and Bemidji won the team title. The individual competition was completed the next day. With his 70, Israelson had a two stroke lead. However, he "skated" to a second round 78, finishing solo third, five back. In the summer he played the Minnesota State Amateur for the first time. He finished in fourth place. At he end of the academic year it was announced that Israelson would be attending Lamar University in Texas for college. He earned a golf scholarship. He was offered a scholarship by the Lamar golf coach before had ever seen him play.
During the summer, also Israelson played in some events that received media coverage. In late July, he entered the Birchmont International golf tournament. The event was at Bemidji Town and Country Club. Against 315 golfers, Israelson was medalist, shooting rounds of 65 and 70 at the par-72 course. Israelson was the "favorite" to win the tournament proper. However, like the previous year, he again lost in the first round to Ray Sauer, 5&4. During the first week of August he played in the boys division of the Minnesota Golf Association Junior Tournament. The event was at Minnetonka Country Club in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Israelson shot rounds of 69 and 74 to tie Gary Gabrielson for the lead. Israelson birdied the first playoff hole to win.
Israelson attended Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. He majored in communications. In the late winter of 1976, during the middle of his freshman year, he received media attention for the first time as a university student-athlete. In February, he played the Pan American International Tournament in Monterrey, Mexico. At the "elite" event, he finished in fourth place. In March, he received much attention for his performance at the Border Olympics golf competition. Over he first two rounds he shot a 138 to take the individual lead. During the final round, however, he did not play as well. He made a triple bogey on the 3rd hole. He then played the wrong ball on the 7th hole leading to a two-shot penalty. He ultimately shot an 81 to finish in 5th place. Late in the year, he played the Southland Conference tournament. He opened with a 71 to put him in the lead. However, he shot a second round 78 to fall into solo fourth place. Lamar's team was in third place at this point. In the third round he started with outward nine of 39 to remain in fourth place. He remained in contention after the third round and through the front nine of the final round. However, in the final round he double-bogeyed the par-4 14th hole and quadruple-bogeyed on par-5 15th hole "that knocked him back in the pack." Overall, however, Israelson received much praise for his performance over the course of the year. In the middle of the season, his coach, Dan Rogas, stated, "I may be going out on a limb in saying this, but Israelson is the best freshman golfer at this state in his career." He was referred to by The Port Arthur News as the number one player on the team.
In the summer, he returned to Minnesota. In July, he began play at the Minnesota State Amateur at the Oak Ridge Country Club. In the first round, Israelson birdied three of the first five holes and made the first 15 greens in regulation. With his 69 (−1), he was tied for the lead. He again shot a 69 in the second round to take the solo lead. However, he opened the final round poorly. Israelson missed a number of short putts early on his way shooting three-over-par on the first five holes. Israelson later stated, "I knew I had to do something right then. I had to do something to take the pressure off." He then made a 10-foot birdie putt at the 6th hole. He played even-par from thereon in and finished the tournament at even-par 210. He won by seven shots. "Heck, he just annihilated the field," said leading competitor Larry Johnson.
Israelson had success at a number of other events in Minnesota over the course of the summer. On July 26, he began play at the Birchmont International Golf Tournament. During the first round of qualifying he opened excellently, with six birdies on the front side on the way to a 66 (−6). He led by three. In the second qualifying round he continued with his "torrid" pace, opening with a bogey-free 31 (−4). Overall, he shot a second round 67 (−5) to win medalist honors by eight shots. However, he was again eliminated early from the tournament proper, this time losing in the second round to Rob Dahm. The following week he played the Resorters Golf Tournament in Alexandria, Minnesota. In the first round he easily defeated Jeff Resch 7 & 5. In the second round he again "whipped" an opponent, defeating Bruce Christensen 6 & 4. He advanced to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, he was scheduled to play Dick Blooston. He defeated him. In the semifinals, however, he lost 2 up to Dick Johnson. The following week he played Pine to Palm tournament at Detroit Country Club. He won in the first round 2 up.

Israelson ultimately reached the finals where he played Mark Rohde. Israelson defeated Rohde to win the event.
In April 1977, back at Lamar, he recorded a number of highlights. In the middle of the month he played the three-round Louisiana Tech Invitational. He recorded a 212 total, four-under-par, to win the event. It was "his first collegiate tournament victory." Later in the month, he played the Southland Conference golf tournament. Israelson was one of the opening round "stars" outplaying the "pre-tournament favorites." He recorded an even-par 72 to tie Chris Williams for the lead. Israelson credited his scrambling skills for the low round. Israelson, however, "slumped" with a second round 76 but "made up ground" in the afternoon round, the third round, shooting a 74. He was now in tie for fifth place, three back. Israelson later described the up and down day: "I played pretty sorry for the first 27 holes today. The last nine I hit the ball as well as I can − but still only shot 36." Israelson shot a final round 79 to finish well back in individual honors. Lamar's team finished in third place among the six teams. Overall, however, Israelson remained the number one player on the team over the course of the year. He had the best scoring average on the team during this era.
After his sophomore year concluded, he returned to Minnesota. Over the course of the summer he went on a great winning streak. In early June, he played a 7up tournament at Edina Country Club. Israelson won his individual and team match. Roughly a month later he played the Pebble Lake shortstop. He shot an even-par 72 to win the event by three shots. Later in the month, he played in the amateur division of the three-round XX tournament. The event was held at Oxbow Country Club in Fargo, North Dakota. Israelson opened with a 67 which was "believed to be a course record." He finished at 212 (−4) to defeat Rob Dahm, who defeated him at the Birchmont the previous year, by three shots. Later in the month he played the three-round Minnesota Amateur. The first round was bookended by triple-bogeys "yet [he] still managed to shoot a 77." In the second round he shot a 72 to put himself three back, in a tie for third. In the final round he was paired with Rick Benshoof and Norb Anderson in the last group. Israelson birdied the first two holes and then the 4th hole. He later stated, "I got off to that good start and knew I was going to score well." On the 9th hole, however, his primary competitor, Benshoof, "hit into the water" while Israelson two-putted for birdie. He was now tied for the lead. On the 11th hole, Israelson made an 18-foot birdie putt to take the solo lead for the first time. Benshoof then bogeyed the next three holes "to drop back." Israelson subsequently birdied the 15th and 16th holes to assure the win. He won by eight strokes. "He's fantastic," Benshoof stated after the round about Israelson. "He's the best I've seen around here in a long time." It was Israelson's seventh straight victory. The following week he won the Mille Lacs Invitational. It was his "8th straight title." Shortly thereafter, he played the Birchmont International. In the first qualifying round he "soared" to a 75 but "easily" qualified for the second qualifying round. Israelson qualified for the tournament. In the first round "he had to stage a comeback" to defeat his opponent, Steve Herzog, 2 & 1. He also won his second round match over Tuffy Nelson 6 & 5. Israelson was slated to play fellow "collegiate star" Miles Prestemon in a "key match" the following round. Prestimon was a "decisive winner," defeating Israelson 6 & 5. In August he played the Pine to Palms golf tournament. Israelson won his opening round match against Paul Hanson 2 & 1. Israelson advanced to the semifinals, easily defeating his second and third round opponents. In the semifinals Israelson defeated R.J. Smiley 2 & 1. In the finals he played Dan Croonquist. Croonquist birdied the first hole to take the lead. However, Israelson made an 18-foot birdie on the next hole to tie. He won a number of holes shortly thereafter and took a 2 up lead at the turn. He then made a 2 1/2 birdie putt on the 15th hole to take a 3 up lead and won the event on the next hole. The following day he intended to qualify for the U.S. Amateur. The qualifying tournament was at Woodhill Country Club. Israelson finished in third place at the event only behind medalist Croonquist and Jon Chafee. The event proper would be played in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. It was his first U.S. Amateur. Israelson won his first round match. In the second round he played British golfer Peter McEvoy, the defending British Amateur champion. Israelson did not play particularly well on the outward nine, shooting four-over-par and winning only one hole. McEvoy did not fare much better though and only held a 1 up lead after nine holes. McEvoy, however, "turned on the steam" after the turn, winning four straight holes. He ultimately won it 5 & 4. Israelson attributed his weak performance towards poor iron play.
Shortly thereafter, he returned to Lamar. In October, he played the Morton Braswell collegiate golf tournament. The event was held in Huntington Park Golf Course in Shreveport, Louisiana. Israelson shot rounds of 74 and 73 to lead Lamar's team and finish in a tie for fourth overall, only behind Hal Sutton, Bill Pierot, and Mark Powell. The following semester, in April, he received some attention at the All-America Intercollegiate Invitational Golf Tournament. He opened with a 71 to position himself in the top ten. However, he shot significantly over-par in the second round to fall from contention. Later in the semester, he competed in the Sunnehanna Amateur. Playing among a field of 55, he finished in a tie for 13th.
Israelson soon returned to Minnesota. In mid-July he played the three-round Minnesota State Amateur. He was attempting to become the first person in 50 years to win the event three times in a row. In the first round he shot a 73 (+1). In the second round, played the same day in the afternoon, he shot 70 (−2), the round of the day. He was one back of leader Chris Perry. In the final round, his main competitor, Perry, played poorly, opening doors to the field. On the 14th hole, Israelson two-putted for birdie "to gain control of the tourney." With his even-par 72, he defeated Perry by three. He became the first person to win the event three times consecutively since Jimmy Johnston in the 1920s. The following day, he began play at the Minnesota State Open. He did not open well and nearly missed the first round cut, making it on the number with a 76 (+4). However, he shot two-under-par over the final two rounds to finish at 218 (+2) overall, in a tie for fourth place. On Monday July 24th, Israelson began the qualifying process for the Birchmont International. He opened with a 65 (−7) to take the lead. In the second round, he shot 68 for a 133 total. He led all qualifiers by eight shots. Israelson won his first two matches of the tournament proper to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, he defeated Bob O'Neill easily, 6 & 5, shooting seven-under-par in 13 holes. In the semifinals, however, he lost to Dave Kluver 3 & 1. In the late summer he played the U.S. Amateur again. However, he lost in the second round once more, this time to Warren Choate of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, 2 & 1. Israelson won 1978 Minnesota Golf Association Player of Year Award.
In the fall, Israelson returned to Lamar for his senior year. In October, he played the Braswell intercollegiate. He opened with rounds of 72 and 73 to position himself in a tie for fourth among individuals, only behind, respectively, Hal Sutton, Peter Winkler, Clyde Rego, and Fred Couples. In the spring, he played the three-round Spring Intercollegiate Golf Tournament hosted by North Texas University in Denton, Texas. In the first round Israelson shot an even-par 71 to put him near the lead. In the second round, "despite brisk North winds," Israelson was able to shoot one-under-par to tie Southern Methodist's Payne Stewart for the lead. Playing against "steady rain" in the final round, however, Israelson was unable to match Stewart's 71, shooting a 75 to fall into a tie for second place.
Shortly thereafter, he returned to Minnesota. It was noted by The Star Tribune that he was "struggling with his game." Israelson said, "The last few weeks I've been hitting the ball very solidly. But I'm usually hitting the ball to the right on a couple of holes each round and making a big score." In late May, he played 7-Up Cup golf matches in Minnesota. An "erratic driver" led to loses in both the individual and team matches. Israelson did not receive much media attention during the rest of the summer. In late July, he entered the Birchmont International Golf Tournament. Israelson made it to the finals where he played Mark Norman of Edina, Minnesota. Norman eagled the second and third holes to take a quick 2 up lead. However, Israelson managed to close the gap to 1 up at the turn. By the 17th hole the two competitors were tied. Norman made his only bogey of the day on the 18th hole to lose the match. Overall, Israelson shot a 66 (−6) in the round. The following year, Israelson attempted to defend his Birchmont championship. In the first round he defeated Eric Niskanen handily, 5 & 4. Israelson then "survived" his second round match, defeating Brian Byrnes on the 17th hole, 2 & 1. In the quarterfinals he defeated Tom Poehler 4 & 3. In the following round he defeated Jim Strandemo 6 & 4. In the finals, however, he was defeated by Steve Herzog 2 & 1. In mid-August, he played the Pine-to-Palm golf tournament at Detroit Lakes Golf Course in Minnesota. In the two-round qualifier, Israelson opened with a 73. However, he responded with a 64 to tie Detroit Lakes' course record and finish at 137, two back of medalist Tom Lehman. Israelson would go on to win the event proper.
Professional career
Israelson turned professional in the late summer of 1980. The first professional tournament he played was the 1980 North Dakota Open. In the first round he shot a 69 (−3) to position himself in a tie for sixth. He shot seven-under-par thereafter to win the event with a 206 (−10) total. Israelson earned $5,000. Despite the victory, Israelson had no intention of trying to earn membership for the PGA Tour that fall. "I won't try for my professional card this year," he stated after the event. "I still have a lot of things to learn." Shortly after his win in North Dakota, he also won a "lucrative" pro-am in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Israelson then started playing the mini-tours in California and Texas. In May 1981, he attempted to qualify for the PGA Tour at Spring 1981 PGA Tour Qualifying School. However, he missed qualifying by a shot. The following month, in June, he attempted to qualify for the 1981 U.S. Open. At final qualifying, he was tied with a number of golfers for the final slots. Israelson competed in a six-for-five playoff to see who got the final five slots. Israelson three-putted the 2nd playoff hole to lose out. In July 1981, he played the three-round TapeMark Charity Pro-Am Golf Tournament. In the first round, which he played at the par-71 Southview Country Club, Israelson shot a five-under-par 66 to tie Rives McBee for the lead. In the second round, he played the par-72 Indian Hills Golf Club. He shot even-par to fall two behind McBee, in a tie for second with two other golfers. All competitors played the Southview course for the final round. Israelson was unable to keep up with the leaders, most of whom shot under-par, shooting an even-par 71. At 209 (−5), he finished five back of champion McBee, in a tie for sixth. Shortly thereafter, Israelson played the three-round Minnesota State Open. Israelson was the leader after two rounds. However, he shot a 78 during the final round and George Shortridge won the event. In the winter Israelson intended to play the Space Coast Tour in Florida.
In the spring of 1982, Israelson intended to qualify for the 1982 U.S. Open. He played the Chicago sectional. Israelson was successful finishing in second place, four back of medalist Jon Chaffee. In June, he played the Minnesota Masters. Israelson entered the final round three shots back of Jon Chaffee at one-under-par. However, Chaffee double-bogeyed the 7th hole and bogeyed the 9th while Israelson birdied the 8th and 9th holes to tie. Chaffee then bogeyed the 10th giving Israelson the lead. However, Israelson missed an 18-inch par putt on the 15th hole and made bogey. He fell one behind Chaffee. Israelson ultimately finished in a tie for second with Mike Morley, three back of champion Chaffee.
The following week, Israelson began play at the U.S Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links. In the first round Israelson shot a 76 (+4). He then shot 38 (+2) on the front nine during the second round to put him near the cut line. However, he began to go on a run during the beginning of the back nine with birdies on the 11th and 13th holes. On the 14th hole, he hit his approach within 6 feet to assure another birdie. On the 15th hole he sank a 50-foot chip for his fourth birdie of the inward nine. He closed the back nine with a birdie and par for a 31 (−5). It was the lowest back nine total in U.S. Open history at Pebble Beach. With his 69 (−3) he easily made the cut. In the third round, Israelson eagled the par-5 second hole to reach even-par for the tournament. He later stated, "When that happened I started thinking I could make birdies all day." However, playing "Pebble Beach's infamous stretch of holes along the Pacific Ocean" − the holes around the turn from #8-#11 − Israelson recorded, respectively, bogey, double-bogey, bogey, bogey. He ultimately shot an 80 (+8) to fall out of contention. In the final round he was paired with Ray Floyd. Israelson was two-over-par for the first 12 holes. "I was feeling pretty good about the way I was playing for the first 12 holes," he said later. "I was only two over par for the day and I was enjoying the Open." However, he double-bogeyed the 13th hole and quadrupled-bogeyed the 14th hole. He ultimately shot an 83 (+11). He finished in second to last place among those who made the cut, in 65th place.
Because Israelson made the 36-hole cut he qualified for the following week's PGA Tour event, the Westchester Classic. At the Westchester, Israelson opened with rounds of 70 and 68 to easily make the cut. He closed with rounds of 73 and 70 to finish T-42. Because he made the cut at Westchester he qualified for the Western Open, the next event on the PGA Tour. However, his opening round at the Western was a "mini-disaster," shooting a 83 (+11). He shot a 72 in the second round but would miss the cut. In late July, he began play at the three-round National Car Open, Minnesota's official state open, at Bunker Hills Golf Course in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Israelson opened with a 71 (−1) and followed that up with a 67 (−5) to take a one shot lead over Mike Morley. In the final round, however, Israelson fell into a tie for lead with a number of players after six holes. He ultimately "labored in" with a three-over-par 75 to finish solo sixth, six back of champion Morley. In November, Israelson attempted to qualify for the PGA Tour at 1982 PGA Tour Qualifying School. He opened with rounds of 76–72 to put himself at 148, in a tie for 52nd place, right outside the top 50 threshold to make the tour. However, by the end of the tournament he was not among the top 50 players to graduate onto the PGA Tour.
Due to his failure to make it onto the PGA Tour, Israelson continued to play on the minitours. In addition, in early 1983 he started playing on the Asia Golf Circuit. In April, Israelson had much success at the Taiwan Open. Through the first three rounds he was at 226 (+10), five back of the lead. In the final round he shot a 69 (−3), the round of the tournament, to tie for the lead. He entered a three-hole playoff with Lu Liang-Huan. Israelson bogeyed the first hole to fall one behind. Both parred the second playoff hole. On the final playoff hole, Israelson hit his drive out of bounds which led to double bogey. Lu won the playoff easily. The runner-up finish, however, spurred him on to better play. He made the cut in all of his remaining events on the Asian circuit. He finished the season in 15th place on the Order of Merit.
Shortly after the Asian season ended, Israelson returned to the United States. In late May, he entered local qualifying for the 1983 U.S. Open. In August, he played the three-round Manitoba Open. Immediately before the tournament, at the pro-am, Israelson's team finished in third place and, with a "sizzling" 66, Israelson had the low pro score of the day. At the tournament proper, Israelson easily made the cut at 144 (+6), in a tie for fourth place, six back of leader Dan Halldorson. In the final round he shot a 71 (+2) to finish in a tie for third, seven back of champion Halldorson. The following month he played the three-round St. Cloud Pro-Am Golf Tournament. Israelson was several shots back of leader George Shortridge entering the final round. However, Shortridge "struggled with his putting on Sunday" and Israelson cut the deficit to three early on the back nine. On the par-4 13th hole, Shortridge overshot the green by 10 feet. Preparing for his chip, he removed a stick near his ball. However, he did not know he was in a hazard. Because he removed a stick within a hazard he was penalized two strokes. Israelson made par and against Shortridge's triple-bogey they were now tied. Shortridge later said, "It looked at that point like the whole thing might go. Billy (Israelson) was starting to play some good golf and I was not." However, on the next hole, the par-4 14th, Israelson hit his approach in a bunker. He made bogey to fall behind by one. Israelson remained one behind entering the final hole. He made bogey to lose to Shortridge by two. In November, Israelson began regional qualifying for the 1983 PGA Tour Qualifying School. The four-round event was at Deerfield Country Club in Canton, Mississippi. Israelson was one of 108 players competing for 14 slots. Israelson opened with a 69 (−3) to position himself in a tie for third place. Israelson shot over-par the next two days to fall near the cut-off line. However, he managed to shoot a one-under-par 71 to finish in a tie for 9th to move onto the finals.
In early 1984, Israelson returned to Asia. In March, he had much success at golf tournaments in Singapore. In mid-March, he played the Rolex Masters at Bukit Golf Course in Singapore. He opened with rounds of 71 and 72. At the beginning of the third round, "playing with tremendous confidence," Israelson birdied four of the first five holes. He nearly made birdies on the 6th and 8th holes too, lipping them out. Israelson was threatening to break the course record of 64. He ultimately finished with a 66 to take the solo lead. He led by two over Lyndsay Stephen and four strokes over third place holders Hsieh Min-Nan and Jeff Sluman. In the final round, Israelson made "two quick birdies" on the 4th and 5th holes to expand his lead. All of his contenders fell back and by the turn he had a six stroke lead. On the back nine, Israelson birdied the 13th, 15th, and 18th holes for a 67 (−4). He finished at 276 and won. The following week he played the Singapore Open. He opened with rounds of 72 and 67 to put himself in a tie for ninth, two back of the lead. In the third round he shot a 69 to move into a tie for fifth with Rodger Davis, four back of leader Tom Sieckmann. In the final round he shot a 68 to finish in a tie for second with Burma's Kyi Hla Han and Australia's Terry Gale, two back of champion Sieckmann. After the round Israelson stated, "I'm satisfied, but will try to do better next time."
Shortly thereafter, he returned to the United States. In the spring Israelson started playing on the Tournament Players Series, a satellite tour of the PGA Tour. In early May, he finished in a tie for fifth at the Tallahassee Open. A couple weeks later, in mid-May, Israelson attempted to qualify for the 1984 U.S. Open. He was medalist at local qualifying in Houston, Texas. At the end of the month he returned to the TPS, playing the Charley Pride Golf Fiesta. The event held at the University of New Mexico's South Course. Before the event proper, at the two-round pro-am, Israelson opened with a 65 (−7) to take a three stroke lead. At the tournament proper, he finished in a tie for 13th place, six shots back of champion Darrell Kestner. In June, he played the three-round Minnesota Golf Champions. After two rounds, Israelson was at 140 (−4), two shots back of leader Rick Ehrmanntraut. In the final round, Ehrmanntraut "struggled," opening up doors to the field. However, Israelson's game was, according to him, in "shambles." Nonetheless, he scrambled well to stay close to the lead. "He was chipping and putting like crazy," competitor Dan Croonquist later stated. In the meantime, Croonquist, with whom he was tied with after 11 holes, faltered on the back nine, shooting five-over-par on the final six holes. With a final round 70 (−2), Israelson won by six shots. In July, he played his state open, the three-round National Car Open. He was tied for the lead after two rounds. However, he shot a final round 77 to fall out of contention. In late 1984, Israelson made his fourth attempt to qualify for the PGA Tour. At 1984 PGA Tour Qualifying School, Israelson was unsuccessful by a stroke.
In early 1985, Israelson returned to Asia. In was his third tour of the Asia Golf Circuit. In March, he played the Thailand Open. He opened with rounds of 68 (−4) and 67 (−5) to put him in a tie for second, three back of leader Ray Arinno. In the third round, Israelson started poorly, opening with two bogeys. However, he "brilliantly pulled his game back together" with birdies on five of the next seven holes. He ultimately shot a five-under-par 67 to take a four stroke lead over Arinno. He said after the round, "This is the first time I have been in contention in Asia and I hope to keep my head in front in the final round." Compatriot John Jacobs shot a course record 64 (−8) to seriously contend but Israelson "held off" his "challenge." With a final round 71 (−1), Israelson finished at 273 (−15) to defeat Jacobs by one. The following week he played the Rolex Masters in defense of his championship. Israelson opened poorly in the first round with a 75 (+4) but followed it up with a 67 (−4) to move into the top ten. He ultimately finished in a tie for ninth. By the middle of the season, he was ranked in a tie for fourth on the Asian circuit's Order of Merit.
By June, had returned to the United States. In late spring, he intended to defend his Minnesota Golf Champions title. He opened with a 74 to put himself well back of leader Rick Ehrmannhaut. However, he ultimately finished in solo third, three out of a playoff between Ehrmannhaut and Jon Chaffee. The following week he played the 1985 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills Country Club. It was his second U.S. Open, his first since the 1982 event. In the first round, Israelson shot an even-par 35. He then opened the back nine with three straight birdies: a 10-foot birdie at the 10th, a holed chip shot at the 11th, and a two-putt birdie at the par-5 12th hole. He was one back of the lead. At the 13th hole he sarcastically noted to the crowd, "Want any quotes before the wheels come off?" On the par-3 hole, Israelson hit his tee shot "too pure" and it buried in a bunker. He hit his bunker shot over the green and made double-bogey. He then missed short par putts on the 14th and 15th to fall to one-over par. He finished with a 71 (+1). Afterwards, he stated, "It was kind of a bittersweet round. If someone had said I would shoot a 71 before I teed off today I would have been very happy. But to shoot a 71 after where I was after 12 holes is kind of disappointing." In the second round, the bogeyed the 14th and 15th holes to fall near the cut line. On the 16th hole he hit his drive in the rough. He had a precarious line to the hole, where he had to hit his 3-iron approach over a tree and a lake to the green. However, he hit to approach to five feet to assure a birdie and a made cut. In the third round he shot a 75 (+5) to fall to 218 (+8) and a tie for 44th place. During the final day, Israelson struggled in the middle of the round again but holed a 40-foot bunker shot on the last for birdie and a 75 (+5). He finished in a tie for 52nd place. After the tournament Israelson stated, "It seemed that each day I had a stretch of three or four of five holes where my game kind of went to sleep and that really hurt me. But I don't feel I have anything to be ashamed of."
Israelson soon returned to Minnesota and had some success in local events. In late July, he played his state open, the National Car Open. In the first round he shot a 67 (−5) to put himself two behind leader George Shortridge. Both he and Shortridge shot even-par 72s to remain in first and second place, respectively. In the final round Shortridge struggled, shooting a 75, opening doors, but Israelson also struggled, himself shooting a 75, and finished two out of a playoff, in a tie for third. The following month he played the Manitoba Open. Israelson finished one behind champion Robbie Phillips, winning $4,200. Two weeks later, he recorded a top five at the Western North Dakota Pro-Am Golf Tournament. Later in the fall, he entered 1985 PGA Tour Qualifying School again. It was his fifth attempt at qualifying school. He was successful this time, finishing in a tie for 14th place.
Israelson played on the PGA Tour during the 1986 season. Israelson was known for inconsistent play throughout the season. He made the cut in his first three of his first four events on the West Coast swing, including a T-11 at the Shearson Lehman Brothers Andy Williams Open. At this fifth event he played the Los Angeles Open. Israelson shot a second round 68 (−3) to move into a tie for sixth place, four back of the lead. However, he shot significantly over-par on the weekend and finished T-48. Israelson then played the Florida swing. Israelson made the cut in two of three events but did not come close to recording a top 25 finish. His next event was the USF&G Classic. Israelson second a second round 65 (−7) to move into a tie for third, three back of leader Calvin Peete. He closed with rounds of 74 and 69 to finish T-7. He missed his next four cuts, however. Later in the spring, however, he received more media attention. A few days after he missed the cut at the Houston Open he played the Crown Colony Pro-am, held in Lufkin, Texas. He tied for the win with Pat Lindsey. He then made two of the next three cuts. On June 2, he played a U.S. Open sectional qualifier at Aurora Country Club in Aurora, Illinois. Competing against 62 players, Israelson shot five-under-par 139 to win medallist honors. A few days later he began play at the Westchester Classic. In the first round, Israelson hit only five fairways but took only 23 putts. With seven birdies, he shot a 67 (−4). He was in solo third, two back of the lead held by Jay Haas and Tom Sieckmann. According to the The Herald Statesman, it was a surprise that Israelson was so close to the lead as he was "a virtual unknown." He shot over-par for the remainder of the tournament, however, and finished T-41. Around this time, Israelson stated that his goal for the year was to stay inside the top 125 of the money list to assure membership for the following season. At this point, he was ranked #101. The following week he played the 1986 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. In severely windy conditions, Israelson opened with a 79 (+9). In the second round, Israelson shot two-over-par over the first 10 holes to fall one stroke outside of the cut line. Israelson birdied the 11th and 12th holes, however, to move within the cut line. He bogeyed the 14th hole but made a 60-foot birdie putt on the 15th to return to even-par for the day. He bogeyed the final hole but still managed to make the cut on the number at 150 (+10). He eventually finished in a tie for 55th place. Immediately afterwards, Israelson missed the cut in four of his next five events. In the late summer, he played better, making the cut in three four events with top-25s in all events in which he made the weekend. At this point he was #108 on the money list. However, he missed the cut in six of last eight events, failing to recording anything better than a T-48. He finished #130 on the money list, outside of the top 125 threshold.
In 1987, Israelson played intermittently on the PGA Tour. He did not have much success, failing to make the cut in any of the 15 events he played. He lost his tour card at the end of the season. Israelson later stated he had severe troubles with his chipping and putting which hindered his success on tour. In 1988, Israelson returned to Asia. He recorded a tie for 15th at the Singapore Open. Other than that, however, he did not record many other highlights. By the middle of 1988, he was considered a "former tour pro."
On August 22, 1988, Israelson attended a golf event at Faribault Golf and Country Club. He later stated he had a minimum of 15 alcoholic drinks at the golf tournament. Israelson then went driving on Interstate 35 on Faribault, Minnesota. He got into a car accident and was charged with a DUI and manslaughter. "According to the criminal complaint," the Associated Press reported, "Israelson was drunk when the car he was driving went off Interstate 35 in a construction zone, flew through the air and sliced off the top of an oncoming car. The driver of the other car, Michelle Malakowsky, 20, of Hartland, died at the scene, the State Patrol reported." On March 6, 1989, Israelson pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter. According to the Associated Press, "The plea bargain also calls for Israelson to spend six months in jail, pay restitution to the Malakowsky family and pay 10 percent of his taxable income in each of the next five years to charitable alcohol-related organizations." On April 26, 1989, Israelson was "sentenced to one year in jail and ordered to give part of his income to charitable, non-alcohol-related organizations." Israelson would begin his jail sentence on May 1, 1989.
As of February 1990, Israelson began playing tournament golf again. He played some events on the Asia Golf Circuit. In 1991, he also played in Asia.
In the summer of 1991, Israelson had much success in Minnesotan golf tournaments. In June 1991, he entered the Tapemark Charity Pro-Am. Israelson shot three rounds in the 60s to tie David Tentis at the end of regulation. The sudden-death playoff began at the par-3 15th hole. Israelson's tee shot missed the green by a wide margin. However, he "hit a splendid recovery shot" and made par. Tentis, meanwhile, missed his par putt and Israelson won the event. Israelson attributed his win to his short game. Later in the summer, Israelson played the National Car Open, Minnesota's state open. John Snyder held a five stroke lead over Israelson in the final round. However, Israelson "made a charge" in the middle of the back nine, birdieing holes 13–16 to take the lead. Israelson bogeyed the "difficult" par-3 17th, coming back to the field, but Snyder himself double bogeyed the hole to lose strokes to Israelson. Israelson ultimately defeated Snyder and Jon Christian by one stroke.
In early 1992, he returned to Asia. Early in the season he recorded a sixth-place finish at the Rolex Masters. Shortly thereafter, he played the Singapore Open. Israelson opened with a 66 (−5) to put himself one back of the lead, in a tie for third. He followed with rounds of 67 (−4) and 68 (−3) to take a three shot lead. In the final round Israelson "was under no pressure at all" from the field, shooting a 66 (−5) to defeat Frankie Miñoza by six shots. Later in the season, he recorded top six performances at the Indian Open and Maekyung Open. Overall, he won $97,000 on the Asia Golf Circuit for 1992.
Club professional
As of May 1992, Israelson had returned to Minnesota. Despite the recent success, Israelson quit working as full-time as a touring professional. He began working full-time as a club professional to start a family. He was now the assistant club professional at Northland Country Club in Duluth, Minnesota. He still played in some local midwestern golf tournaments during this era. On June 18, he finished in second place at a pro-am at Fargo-Moorhead, North Dakota, one back of Quinn Griffing. The next day he won the KX Pro-Am. The following week, in defense of his championship, he finished solo third at the EDS/National Car Open, three back. In late August, he won the Minnesota PGA Championship. During the summer he also won the North Dakota Open for the second time, the first time since 1980, shortly after he turned professional.
In 1993, he began working as the head club professional at Vintage Golf Course in Staples, Minnesota. He also started work at the assistant golf coach at Staples-Motley High School, the local public high school. Israelson continued to play in notable local events, however. In June 1993, he began play at the Tapemark Charity Pro-am golf tournament. Despite "high winds," Israelson opened with a 65 (−6) to take the solo lead and followed with a 70 (−2) to expand his lead to five. In the final round, however, Israelson was "not as sharp," shooting two-over-par on the front nine, and George Shortridge got within one. However, Shortridge bogeyed the last two holes while Israelson matched par on the back nine to win by three. The following year, in defense of his Tapemark championship, Israelson recorded a solo sixth-place finish. In August, he began his defense of the Minnesota PGA Championship. He won the event again. In September 1994, he played the Minnesota PGA Matchplay. He reached the finals where he played Craig Brischke. Israelson birdied holes #6-#8 to help create a five-hole lead. He eventually won it 6 & 5. It was his third win at the event in the past four years. He won Minnesota PGA Player of the Year for the third straight year. He also led Minnesota PGA Section money list.
In the mid-1990s, Israelson played in a number of notable international events. Late in 1994, he played in the Sarazen World Open. Israelson finished in a tie for 28th place. As a club professional, Israelson qualified for the 1996 PGA Championship. He opened with a four-over-par 76. He shot even-par the following round but missed the cut by three shots. Later in the year, he played the PGA Cup, a "Ryder Cup-like competition" held in Gleneagles, Scotland. The match pitted 10 American club pros and against 10 European club pros. Israelson went 2–1 in his matches and the teams tied.
In the early 2000s, Israelson was still head pro at The Vintage. He still received media attention for his performance in a variety of notable events in Minnesota during the era. He shot a 30 (-6) on his opening round back nine for a 67 (-5) to take the lead. He closed with rounds of 70 and 71 to finish in tie for third. The following year he was invited to play Dayton's Challenge, a charity event at Minneapolis Golf Club which included Sergio García, John Daly, and Laura Davies. In May 2003, he played the Troy Burne Cup, a match play event pitting top golfers from Wisconsin versus top golfers from Minnesota. Israelson went undefeated in his three matches but Minnesota lost to Wisconsin 14–10.
In February 2007, Israelson turned 50. He began to play in some senior tournaments now. In June he was medalist at a U.S. Senior Open qualifier. However, he did not play well at the event, shooting rounds of 83-77 for a 160 (+16) total, missing the cut by 12 strokes. In September 2008, he shot rounds of 73–71 to win the Minnesota Senior PGA Professional Championship. He successfully defended his championship the following year.
During this era, Israelson was still the head pro at Vintage. He was inducted into the Minnesota Golf Hall of Fame in 2009. He continued to have success as a senior golfer. In 2010, he won the Minnesota Golf Champions. In 2011, he won the Minnesota Senior Open and the Minnesota Senior PGA Professional Championship. The following year he successfully defended his Senior PGA Championship. In 2013, he won a number of tournaments in Minnesota. He tied for the win at the Cragun's Legacy Pro-am, successfully defended his Minnesota Senior PGA Championship again, and won a team event, the Facility Team Championship, with fellow Vintage professional Brandon Myers.
In the early 2010s, he qualified for two senior majors. In May 2012, he qualified for a senior major, the Senior PGA Championship. In the first round he shot an 83, however, to put himself well out of the projected cut line. He shot a second round 79 to finish near last place. In 2013, he qualified for the U.S. Senior Open but missed the cut by seven strokes.
Later in his senior career, Israelson had some success. In August 2019, he played the two-round Minnesota Senior PGA Championship. The event was held over the course of one day at Island View Golf Club in Waconia, Minnesota. Israelson recorded a 135 (−9) total to easily win, defeating Craig Brischke and George Smith by seven shots. It was his sixth win in the event.
As of 2021, Israelson had retired from work as a club professional.

The Last Cuentista is a middle-grade dystopian novel by Donna Barba Higuera, published October 12, 2021 by Levine Querido. The story follows Petra Peña who, along with her family and a few hundred others, leave Earth to continue the human race after a comet strikes the planet. After awaking on a new planet, Petra is the only one who remembers Earth and must use storytelling to keep her people's history alive.
In 2022, the book won the Newbery Medal and Pura Belpré Award.
Reception
The Last Cuentista generally received positive reviews, including starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, and Shelf Awareness.
Kirkus called the book "[a]n exquisite tonic for storytellers far and wide, young and old." School Library Journal's Mara Alpert called it "[a] keep-you-up-all-night, compulsively readable science fiction novel that offers much food for thought." Writing for The Wall Street Journal, Megan Cox Gurden said it was "clever and compelling."
Previous Newbery winner Tae Keller said The Last Cuentista
“certainly veers into the dark end of middle-grade fiction, with brainwashing, ‘purging’, and, yes, the destruction of our entire planet ... but it doesn’t dwell in the darkness, preferring to give its readers healthy doses of hope, wonder and page-turning action.”
The Last Cuentista was named one of the best children's books of the year by BookPage, The Boston Globe, the Chicago Public Library, Kirkus, the New York Public Library, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, TIME, and The Wall Street Journal.

It is the first national library of Ottoman and the one of the oldest libraries in Istanbul, Turkey. It has been one of the six legal deposit libraries in the country. Originally established as Kutuphane-i Umumi-i Osmani on 24 June 1884 by Abdul Hamid II, it consists Ottoman Empire periodicals, newspapers, magazines and other historical records. Its status granted by Ottoman Empire remained unchanged after proclamation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. It hold a record of archiving 1.2 million of books since its launch.
The 7th Council of Higher Education changed its named to Beyazıt State Library in 1961 after the Ottoman Empire was dissolved. Its doors are filled with annals written by Mustafa Naima. Most of its books are either transferred from other libraries or purchased or donated by public or private entities. Some of books are donated by the Bayezid II Mosque, Istanbul.
It consists 1.5 million puishing materials 900 thousand registered books, 65,000 postcards, maps, cinema posters, 33,000 types of different magazines consisting of 135,000 volumes and more than 5,000 audio books. The library, which was visited by nearly 140 thousand readers in 2018, received more than 67 thousand readers in the first 6 months of 2019.
History
Sultan Abdul Hamid II converted some mosque buildings of 16th century into a public library in 1884. Prior to its existence as public library, the building also consisted a soup kitchen for poor people.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk issued an order in 1934 to keep that required a copy of published materials to be stored in the Beyazıt State Library. However, due to lack of accommodation in the building, it was expanded in 1948 and was re-expanded in 1953. Due to its scope within the country, its service areas was also expanded and a building of Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul University built between 1867 and 1876 was donated to this library. Muzaffer Gökman was the director of Beyazıt State Library at that time. It is considered a pioneer library ever-established in Turkey as it introduced the first-ever bookbinding workshop and children's library and the first modern library cataloging in all library and information academic disciplines in the country.
Building
Beyazıt State Library was featured in The Daily Beast's monthly series titled The World's Most Beautiful Libraries published in 2020. The structure of building was repaired with architectural restoration in 2016 when the government of Turkey commissioned Tabanlıoğlu Architects for reconstruction of the building. The firm started repairing work in 2006. However, the 1999 İzmit earthquake left crackers in building walls and a safe and modern structure was constructed. The borders or corners of the old structure symbolises its historical significance. The construction of the new project took $2 million in seven years. Funds were donated by Aydin Dogan Foundation.
Sultan Abdülhamid II hired a carpenter who in collaboration with sultan designed the library's towering dark-wood book cabinet by himself.
It covers about 3,000 square meters (0.7 acres) and is frequently visited by 100,000 visitors every year.
Cataloging
When the library was established, publishing material, including book taken from 500 different libraries were stored in that library. They originally belonged to personal libraries of state bureaucrats, palace officials, madrasa teachers and mosques. It also includes the early Quranic manuscript written on golden leaf and Arabic language and grammar book titled the Kitabü'l-Me'sur which is written in 893 AD. A book titled the History of the West Indies written in 1580, and the Kitab-ı İklim-i Cedid (Tarih-i Hind-i Garbi) about Americas is recognised as the world map. Some Ottoman Turkish was discovered written in Persian alphabet. However, with the development of spoken languages Latin-based alphabet was introduced in 1928.
As of 2020, it has digitalized about 50,000 volumes 13,000 handwritten books and 37,000 printed material.
Audiobooks
Besides being the first national library of the country, Beyazıt State Library uses modern technology to make publishing material accessible 24/7 for students and researchers. It became the first library in the country to have produced audiobooks for visually impaired people. As of 2020, there are currently 500 visually impaired people reading audiobooks in the library.
Awards and accolades
Beyazit was nominated for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award in 2017. It was also nominated for the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2019 for its historical structure redesigned by Tabanlıoğlu Architects.
The Royal Institute of British Architects named Beyazıt State Library the "world's 62 best new building" in 2017. In 2016 it became the recipient of the World Architecture Festival award for its architectural structure.
It also won the LEAF Award Hospitality Building of the Year (Future) in 2017 and MIPIM award in the same year.

Let the World Burn is an upcoming EP by the American thrash metal band Vio-Lence, to be released on March 4, 2022, by Metal Blade Records. It will be the band's first material of any kind since their initial disbandment in 1994, and their first EP since Torture Tactics (1991). The EP will also be Vio-lence's first studio recording to feature a different lineup, with guitarist Bobby Gustafson and bassist Christian Olde Wolbers replacing Robb Flynn and Deen Dell respectively, and three-fifths of the Eternal Nightmare lineup – lead vocalist Sean Killian, guitarist Phil Demmel and drummer Perry Strickland – remaining.
Background
Vio-lence's third and final studio album to date, Nothing to Gain, was recorded in August 1990 – about a month after the release of Oppressing the Masses – but not released until December 1993. The album received mixed to negative reviews, and unlike their previous two albums (Eternal Nightmare and Oppressing the Masses), the band never toured in support of it. By that point, Vio-lence was at a crossroads, with rhythm guitarist Robb Flynn having left in 1992 in order to focus on then-new band Machine Head, and drummer Perry Strickland would also leave the band about a year later; the duo were replaced by Ray Vegas and Mark Hernandez respectively. After performing a series of shows around the Bay Area with this lineup, as well as several aborted attempts to record a fourth studio album, Vio-lence officially disbanded in 1994, and four-fifths of the band's last lineup at the time continued to collaborate under the name Torque, with guitarist Phil Demmel also taking over on vocals, and they released their only studio album in 1996 as an eponymous.
In August 2001, Vio-lence reunited for their first show in eight years at the Thrash of the Titans festival, which was held as a co-benefit for the band's close friends Chuck Billy of Testament and Chuck Schuldiner of Death, who were both battling cancer. This was originally intended as a one-off show, but after its success, Vio-lence decided to resume activity as a band and spent much of 2002 and early 2003 playing shows around the West Coast, in addition to an appearance at the Milwaukee Metalfest in the summer of 2002 with Exodus, who had also reunited for the Thrash of the Titans benefit. The band was also considering recording new material, but nothing came out of it, and Vio-lence disbanded after playing a farewell show at The Pound in San Francisco on April 19, 2003, after which Demmel reunited with Flynn in Machine Head, where the former would remain until his departure from the band in 2018.
A near-reunion of Vio-lence took place at The Midway in San Francisco, California on January 20, 2018, as a benefit concert for frontman Sean Killian, who had recently been diagnosed with stage four liver cirrhosis earlier. The benefit included performances by the members of Vio-Lence and their Bay Area thrash metal peers Testament, Exodus, Death Angel, Forbidden and Mordred. Following Demmel's departure from Machine Head and Killian's recovery from his illness, as well as months of speculation of a potential Vio-lence reunion, the band announced on January 8, 2019, that their first show in over fifteen years would take place on April 13 at the Metro in Oakland, which would see them perform the Eternal Nightmare album in its entirety. Initially planned as a one-off show, it sold out shortly after its announcement, resulting in a matinee appearance at the Metro, which took place on the following day. Vio-lence spent the rest of 2019 playing a series of US shows as well as their first-ever appearance in Europe, where they played the Alcatraz Metal Fest in Belgium.
Vio-lence's intention to write a follow-up to Nothing to Gain was revealed in August 2019, when Demmel told Australia's Heavy magazine that, "Sean's itching to write some new music. I'm not itching as hard. I've got a lot on my plate. Vio-lence is definitely a priority, but that's just a step I haven't... It's hard, because you have this comeback, and then you play the songs, and you want to be good. I don't want to put out something that isn't as good as Eternal Nightmare or some of the songs from Oppressing. I want to have something that's quality." In an interview with Exodus frontman Steve "Zetro" Souza on his "Toxic Vault" video channel, Killian said, "Phil and I have talked a couple of times. It's kind of up to him because he is very busy doing a soundtrack for a video game and I guess a Netflix series, and he's doing Allegiance and these other things he's doing." Killian also said that the other members of Vio-lence were interested in writing a new album; however, he concluded that "it's Phil and I that need to connect."
In January 2020, just as the band was preparing to work on new material, it was announced that Ray Vegas that he had left Vio-lence and he was replaced by former Overkill guitarist Bobby Gustafson; shortly thereafter, longtime bassist Deen Dell had quit the band for personal reasons and was replaced by former Fear Factory bassist Christian Olde Wolbers. In March 2020, it was announced that Vio-lence had signed to Metal Blade Records and the band was going to record a new EP in the coming months. In August of that year, the band released its first song in more than two decades, which was a cover of Dead Kennedys' "California über alles". By October 2020, Vio-lence had finished writing four songs for a five-song EP that they had planned to release sometime in 2021. On January 18, 2021, the band entered Trident Studios in Pacheco, California to begin recording their new EP with producer Juan Urteaga, and the sessions were finished on April 24 in time for its planned summer release; however, its release was later pushed back to late 2021. On June 16, Vio-lence announced Let the World Burn as the title of the EP, although its release was once again delayed to early 2022.
On January 10, 2022, a lyric video for "Flesh from Bone" was released, and on the same day, the band announced that Let the World Burn will be released on March 4. A month later, the EP's second single "Let the World Burn" was released to streaming platforms.

The Northwest Communication System was a landline and microwave telecommunications system constructed primarily along the right of way of the Northern Alberta Railway and then the Alaska Highway from Edmonton, Alberta to the Alaska border, after which it connected to Fairbanks, Alaska. It was constructed by the US Signal Corps from 1942 to 1943, and the portion of the line within Canada was transferred to the Canadian government.
The network was initially maintained by the Royal Canadian Air Force, and was then transferred to Canadian National Telegraph in 1946. It provided military and commercial telephone and telegraph service along its route, including air traffic control messages.
Around 1961, it was supplanted by the Grande Prairie-Yukon-Alaska Microwave Network.
Most service in the network was provisioned as party lines. Some numbers were single-subscriber circuits, whereas others served multiple subscribers through selective ringing (suffixes B or F), distinctive ringing (suffixes R1 or R2), or both. Calls were placed through an operator.

Euplokamis dunlapae is a marine species of ctenophore. It is the first species of ctenophora reported to have giant axons controlling the comb rows. They control the ciliary beating, allowing for rapid change in the speed and direction of the cilia, likely evolved as an escape mechanism.

The Attack (Finnish: Hyökkäys) is a painting by the Finnish artist Edvard Isto, one of the most famous Finnish paintings. The painting represents the Russian double-headed eagle attacking the Finnish Maiden trying to rob her book of laws. The painting was completed in 1899, the same year when emperor Nicholas II of Russia gave his publication known as the February Manifesto. The name of the painting was suggested by Emmi Ajo, wife of Isto's good friend Benjamin Ajo. The Attack spread as prints all over Finland. Isto had thousands of prints made of his painting in both Finland and Germany.
The model for the painting was Emma Kyöstäjä, who was from Alatornio like Isto himself. In autumn 1899 the painting was displayed in secret at a beach villa in Kaivopuisto in Helsinki. The Tilgmann press made at least a couple hundred prints of it. After the gendarmerie learned of the painting Isto escaped to Germany via Sweden with the painting and its prints, where the Berlin press Meissenbach & Rippart had over ten thousand rotogravure photographic reproductions of 48 × 37.5 cm (picture size 30 × 21.5 cm) made of it. At least six editions of postcards were also made of the painting, one even with texts in Russian. Alex Federley made a postcard variation of the painting, where the double-headed eagle has given up and left the Finnish Maiden alone with her book of laws.
In 1900 Isto took the painting to the Alatornio clergy house, until it had to be taken to Sweden again to be safe. A couple of years later Isto tried to get rid of the painting by selling lottery tickets, but the Helsinki woman who won the painting dared not accept it. So Isto bought the painting back from her and sold it to a Swedish businessman from Luleå, who later gave it to the municipal official Niilo Helander in Heinola. His widow donated the painting to the Finnish Heritage Agency.

Sipe Springs (, pronounced "seep") is an unincorporated community located in Comanche County, in the U.S. state of Texas. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 75 in 2000.
History
The area in what is known as Sipe Springs today was first settled around 1870. The community itself was not organized until 1873. It was named for the nearby springs that appeared to "seep" out of rock formations. The community had its own Baptist and Methodist churches, as well as a United Brethren congregation. A post office was established at Sipe Springs in 1883. That next year, it had a population of 130 served by five general stores, two hotels, and two combination gin-gristmills. A local newspaper titled the Cyclone was published in 1890. Phone service began in 1909. The Texas Central Railroad built a track from De Leon to Cross Plains in 1911. It's right of way ran through the area north of the community. This spouted the town's growth. It had 500 residents, had a bank, and a newspaper titled the Sipe Springs Record in 1914. When oil was discovered in Sipe Springs in 1918, it caused the community to grow into a large city of about 8,000 people. Its businesses included hotels, rooming houses, drugstores, barbershops, cafes, another bank, a cotton gin, a movie theater and a dance hall. Unfortunately, the boom looked to be temporary, as the oil deposits in oilfields were shallow. Both banks closed in 1921, and that next year, a fire ravaged the community. Its population plunged to 575, which was higher than the pre-boom figure, in 1924. Its decline continued into the 1930s when the water supply dwindled, hurting local farms. Sipe Springs had 200 residents and 12 businesses in 1940. The population went down to 120 in 1949 and lost ten more residents in 1974. It had a cemetery and several scattered houses in 1987. Its population was 75 from 1988 through 2000.
Sipe Springs also had an opera house and its own baseball team.
Geography
Sipe Springs is located at the intersection of Farm to Market Roads 1477 and 587 on Sipe Springs Branch, northwest of Comanche in northwestern Comanche County. It is also located southwest of Stephenville and west of De Leon.
Education
Sipe Springs' first school was established in 1873. Another school was built in 1922. Both schools had a combination of 152 students and six teachers. They continued to operate in 1940 until it was divided between the Sidney and De Leon Independent School Districts. Today, the community is served by the De Leon ISD.

Buster Bear is a cartoon character created by John R. McCrory for Warner Bros. Cartoons. It is notable for being the first cartoon character created for Warner Bros, as well as the only theatrical short series by Warner Bros not to be produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions or Harman-Ising Productions, though very little information can be found about it.
Production
Not much is known about the production of the Buster Bear shorts, except for the fact that John R McRory abused his staff while working on the short. Warner Bros. abandoned McRory in favor of Leon Schlesinger's production offers.
Availability
Two shorts featuring Buster Bear, namely The Life and Adventures of Buster Bear and The Spring Carnival were released in 1930 as part of Vitaphone Varieties, but no print has confirmed to exist, thus making them lost media. Another short, The Opera House, was released on January 28, 1930, but was never mentioned in other sources, but a low definition copy of the short can be found on YouTube, albeit without credits. A high definition video including frames for the short can be found online, with the title card of the short, providing more information about the short.

Victor Folke Nelson (June 5, 1898 – December 9, 1939) was a Swedish-American writer, prisoner, and prison reform advocate. He spent many years incarcerated in both the New York and Massachusetts prison systems and came to the attention of neurologist Abraham Myerson and penologist Thomas Mott Osborne for his potential as a writer. In 1932, Nelson published his book Prison Days and Nights.
Early life
Victor Folke Nelson was born in Malmö, Sweden on June 5, 1898 to Anna Pehrson and Carl Nelson. Victor's parents immigrated to the state of Massachusetts, USA with him and his three siblings when he was three years old. The Nelson family struggled economically and Victor's mother died when he was seven years old. Victor spent the next six years in Swedish Lutheran Orphanage of Massachusetts. Orphanage records documented that Victor was bright but had difficulties constructively managing his boredom. He frequently ran away and was eventually placed in the Lyman School for Boys. He served in the British Royal Flying Corps from 1916 to 1918, then enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve in 1918.
Incarceration
Victor Nelson's first charge of larceny occurred when he was 18 years old, but was discharged by a grand jury in New York City. He was incarcerated twice in the Portsmouth Naval Prison—punishment for his absence without leave—where he met and worked as an office clerk for then prison commander Thomas Mott Osborne. Nelson received a dishonorable discharge from the US Naval Reserve in 1920. He cycled in and out of various New York and Massachusetts prisons from 1920 to 1932, spending a total of 12 and a half years incarcerated, primarily for robbery and larceny crimes. In May of 1921, at age 22, Nelson made a sensational and highly publicized run and escape from Charlestown State Prison in Massachusetts. He spent some days planning his escape, even modifying a pair of prison-issued shoes, replacing the heavy soles with homemade felt soles to enable both speed and silent running. He made his break from a line of 13 prisoners after attending evening school in the prison chapel. Despite an attempted intervening tackle from a prisoner trusty and bullets from a guard's gun, Nelson ran some distance, leapt, caught the lower end of the window bars, and scaled the 40-foot high wall of the prison's Cherry Hill section. At the top of the wall, he performed "what was always believed an impossible stunt: throwing his body across a 10-foot space to the wall," where he managed to catch hold of the false coping of a small building in the corner where the south wing joined the main wall. The top of the false coping was too wide for him to grip with his fingers, but he managed to catch it with the crooks of his arms, regain his balance, and then topple over the outer wall to drop 30 feet down to the Boston and Maine railroad tracks, where two brakemen who saw him made no effort to stop him.
Nelson’s friends gave him money for clothing and on the day of his escape Nelson joined a game of "scrub" baseball at Boston Common while authorities were searching for him. He remained in Boston for ten days, then traveled through Massachusetts, West Virginia, New York, and Pennsylvania before heading to Ohio. While in Pennsylvania he took a job selling enlarged photographs—work that he was able to continue doing for his employer as a traveling salesmen when worries about being detected by law enforcement made him eager to leave Pittsburgh—and he briefly stayed in East Liverpool, Ohio, due to interest in a local girl he had encountered on the train. After just a short time in East Liverpool, Nelson was nearly apprehended by a team of Pennsylvania and Ohio detectives, but he managed to escape across the state line into West Virginia where none of the detectives had jurisdiction to make arrests.
In August 1921, Nelson learned that Thomas Mott Osborne was touring the region to promote a film Osborne had sponsored, The Right Way, and would be speaking at a Cincinnati movie theatre. During his lecture, Osborne spoke about how the new Secretary of the Navy appointed by President Warren G. Harding had terminated the Mutual Welfare League program for prisoners that Osborne had started at Portsmouth Naval Prison, which was a program that had impressed Nelson deeply. Osborne also bemoaned those prisoners who had given innovative prison reform programs a bad name by failing to live constructively after release from prison. Nelson approached Osborne after the lecture, telling Osborne he felt regret for having been the type of prisoner who undermined public faith in Osborne’s prison reform work. Nelson agreed to leave Cincinnati and return to Osborne’s home in Auburn, New York. Nelson remained in Osborne’s home for a week and then was accompanied by Osborne when he decided to turn himself in to Charleston Prison Warden Elmer E. Shattuck. At Nelson's subsequent resentencing trial, Osborne testified on his behalf and helped to persuade the judge not to add too much time to Nelson's sentence as extra punishment for having escaped, despite the protest of Warden Shattuck and the district attorney.
During a 1931 hiatus from incarceration Nelson lived with friends in New York, who expected Nelson would work as a writer. Nelson instead picked up odd jobs around the neighborhood, but "failed to do satisfactory work." Nelson's friends subsequently paid his way to Sweden in hopes of getting him out of the neighborhood setting, but Nelson was sent back to the United States by Swedish relatives after one month and soon recidivated. Throughout his years of incarceration and paroles, Nelson at times struggled with morphia addiction and excessive drinking, and he later published writing giving personal insight into the patterns of drug use and recidivism to which many prisoners fall prey. Nelson's final prison sentence was from 1930 to 1932, after which he paroled under the supervision of Abraham Myerson, though he would have additional encounters with the law in his troubled later years.
Writing career and marriage
Progressive prison official Thomas Mott Osborne and neurologist Abraham Myerson both recognized Victor Nelson's potential as a writer. Before being reincarcerated in 1924, Nelson had worked for Osborne as a librarian and literary assistant while on parole. In a series of articles entitled "In a Prison Cell I Sat," which Nelson wrote for The Boston Record from December 1932 to January 1933, Nelson credited Osborne for inspiring him to cultivate his intellectual pursuits, stating "...the more I read and studied, the stronger became my desire for the intellectual things in life." Osborne served as an informal academic advisor to Nelson, frequently sending him books and suggestions about courses of study. Nelson found his way to additional books through citations listed in the books Osborne sent him. Nelson also became interested in strengthening his skills in the written form of the Swedish language of his childhood, so he acquired the necessary reference books and practiced by translating Scandinavian stories into English. He sent some of these translations to a friend in New York, who then forwarded the translations to a magazine, which resulted in some of the translations being published. Nelson would later publish a piece in The Boston Record in which he would state: "I had always nursed a strong desire to write, and the translating proved to be the accidental means of making me a writer." Nelson easily learned foreign languages, and Boston news reporter Charles P. Haven once wrote that Nelson could "translate foreign books into sparkling English prose."
While incarcerated in the Auburn State Prison in New York, Nelson took Columbia University extension courses in writing and began publishing articles on penology. In 1930 he won a Writers' Club of Columbia University prize for his essay "Is Honesty Abnormal?" In 1929 he published a review on The Mårbacka Edition of the Works of Selma Lagerlöf in The Saturday Review of Literature. Nelson also cultivated skills in art and regularly illustrated criminology articles for local newspapers, including his own articles in The Boston Record. He had musical talent as well and worked as a pianist for the prison orchestra during his time at Charlestown State Prison. During the later years of his incarceration, Nelson taught prison evening school courses.
In 1932, while Nelson was incarcerated in Dedham, Massachusetts, Abraham Myerson approached him and asked him to write something that would help psychiatrists understand how prisoners perceive those in the psychiatry profession. This piece of writing later became a chapter in Nelson's comprehensive book about prisoners' psychological experiences and prison reform in the United States, the first edition of which was published by Little, Brown, and Company in 1933 under the title Prison Days and Nights. The book was reviewed in newspapers across multiple states. In addition to commenting on the culture and language of prisoners, the book identifies, from the perspective of one who has lived within American prisons, the causes of continually high recidivism rates in a chapter called "Reforming the Criminal":
Nelson was paroled in August of 1932 in the midst of the Great Depression. He married a nurse, Pearl Geneva Osborne, daughter of Adeline York and William A. Osborne, on February 27, 1934 in Exeter, New Hampshire, listing his occupation as "writer" on their marriage records. In the years after his release from prison Nelson sometimes wrote and published letters to the editors of various Massachusetts newspapers on the topics of prison policy and broader Great Depression era political issues. Nelson's publications would continue to be cited in 20th and 21st century criminal justice and sociocultural writing and research, though he would never complete the second book he had begun writing, which was on the topic of alcoholism and was to be called Mornings After.
Later life and death
In 1936 Nelson suffered a broken neck in a car accident. After this injury, which caused him ongoing pain and discouragement, he struggled with depression and began drinking heavily. His wife, Pearl, remained a consistent support to him, despite his growing challenges. However, in August 1936 he was jailed for 30 days on a charge of drunkenness after Pearl filed a domestic violence complaint. In March 1937 he was sentenced by Judge Elmer Briggs of the Boston Plymouth District Court to Bridgewater State Farm (where chronic alcoholics were often sent at the time, and which later became the Bridgewater State Hospital) after assaulting an elderly neighbor while intoxicated. In August 1938 he appeared in Boston municipal court and pleaded not guilty to a charge of defrauding a hotel keeper and in November 1938 was arrested after getting into an automobile accident on Park Drive (parkway) and fined $50 by the Roxbury Court for “operating a vehicle under the influence.”
On December 8, 1939, at the age of 41, Nelson phoned his wife after leaving home, telling her he intended to leave the state and that he was contemplating taking his own life. Nelson was found dead on December 9, 1939 in a room at the 66 Bowdoin St. boarding house in West End, Boston. Police had received a call from an anonymous woman who informed them that they "would find a man ill in the room." Police learned that Nelson had rented a room at the boarding house and that shortly after two women had visited him there. Police found lipstick-covered cigarette butts in the room, as well as a mostly full bottle of liquor and some liquor glasses, and they sought the two unidentified women for questioning. A chemical analysis of the liquids in the liquor bottle and glasses was ordered, and a determination of "barbiturate poisoning, manner not known" was entered into the City of Boston Registry Certificate of Death for Nelson.
Medical examiner William J. Brickley reported that Nelson had told three different people on previous occasions that he intended to take his own life using drugs. Brickley deemed the cause of Nelson's death "self ingestion of poison." Further investigation by Boston police Captain William D. Donovan and Sergeant Joseph Maraghy revealed that prior to his death, Nelson had registered and left two suitcases filled with writings, personal papers, and clothing at a house on Derne St. in West End Boston. Nelson had been writing a book on alcoholism at the time of his death, which was to be called Mornings After.

Surigh Yilganing Kol (also known as Salikyila Genzhi Tso, zh; 萨利吉勒干南库勒) is an alkaline lake located in the disputed territory of Aksai Chin in Hotan Prefecture of Xinjiang province of China.
Location
The lake is located in the southeast part of Lingzi Thang plains, and can be reached through an unpaved road passing from north bank of Lake Songmuxi Co. The road originates as an offshoot of China National Highway 219 at 35°38′46.34″N 80°18′33.85″E.
History
In the 1950s, prior to the Sino-Indian War, India collected salt from this lake and two other lakes in Aksai Chin to study the economic feasibility of potential salt mining operations. Only Aksai Chin Lake was deemed economically viable.

Miritū Bay / Bay of Many Coves is a bay in Queen Charlotte Sound / Tōtaranui, New Zealand, east of Ruakākā Bay and Tahuahua Bay / Blackwood Bay. It is one of the larger bays of the inner sound, located north of Kura Te Au / the Tory Channel it is vulnerable to southerly winds.
Naming
Miritū is a difficult name to pin down. Separately, the syllables miri and tū have many meanings. Alexander Wyclif Reed rendered speculation on the meaning of Miritū idle due to this range of possible translations. Some potential meanings are "to wound while passing onwards" "to strike an enemy while passing", "a coarse flax mat to stand on", "place to sooth wounds", "a soothing place", or "a twisting wound".
Bay of Many Coves is a reference to the many small bays situated within it. A number of these bays, and those throughout the Marlborough Sounds are named after poets and characters from literature. Ironically the Bay of Many Coves only has one of the locality that uses the word cove in its name, and even that was initially called Cockle Bay.
Taumoana/Snake Point and Bull Head
Taumoana/Snake Point is located on the eastern point at the entrance to Miritū / Bay of Many Coves, while Bull Head is located on the western point. Both points have rocks below them and should be given a wide berth, especially Taumoana / Snake Point, which has a large reef extending out beneath the waves.
Taumoana means "a partition of the sea". Archdeacon Grace posited that the name is a misspelling of Te-au-moana, meaning "a current of the sea" referencing strong currents in the area.
Snake Point is likely a reference to the thin, curving land leading to the point.
Bull Head was renamed from East Head after an enquiry to districts from the Geographic Board regarding duplicate places by the East Head name. The new name was submitted by the Chief Surveyor in Blenheim in April 1970.
Chaucer Bay, Milton Bay and Pope Bay
All 3 of these bays are named for famous poets. Chaucer Bay after Geoffrey Chaucer, Milton Bay after John Milton, and Pope Bay after Alexander Pope.
Chaucer Bay sits at the back of the bay, with Pope Bay just south east of it, while Milton Bay sits in the far eastern corner.
Aratawa Bay
Aratawa Bay is situated at the back of the bay, just west of Chaucer Bay. Its name is made of two parts, ara and tawa. Ara can mean "path" or "passageway", while tawa is the Te Reo Māori name for the Beilschmiedia tawa.
Arthurs Bay
Arthurs Bay has a less obvious origin than its counterparts. It may be named after poet Arthur Rimbaud, the mythical King Arthur, or a previous inhabitant of the cove. The bay is well sheltered, only vulnerable to easterly winds, with a sand and cobble beach.
Cockle Cove
Cockle Cove was renamed from Cockle Bay after an enquiry to districts from the Geographic Board regarding duplicate places by the Cockle Bay name. The new name was submitted by the Chief Surveyor in Blenheim in April 1970. The name references tuangi/cockles, small mollusks found across the country.

Mickey Garcia (born October 21, 1961) is an American record executive, songwriter, music producer, and DJ. He is known for founding the record label "MicMac Records" and for his work as a Mastermix DJ on 98.7 Kiss FM. He has written and produced over 100 songs since 1985 and is considered one of the founders of the freestyle dance genre, having produced, remixed, and written songs for artists such as Judy Torres, Cynthia, Johnny O, Tiana, Colonel Abrams and Menudo. He has been registered with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers since 1987 and has over 300 works in his catalog.
Early life
Garcia was born October 21, 1961, at St. Vincent's Hospital on 12th Street and 7th Avenue, lower Manhattan, to Josephina Montalvo and Michael Garcia. He grew up on Grand Street in Lower Manhattan, New York with 5 brothers and 1 sister. In 1975, Garcia and his older brother Tony began DJing together at block parties and house parties. Later, the brothers went on to DJ at various discotheques around the city.
Career
In 1976, George Vascones of the Latin Symbolics dance company auditioned Garcia to DJ for a talent show. After Garcia gave Vascones a cassette tape of his mix, Vascones offered him the job to DJ for the talent show at the Stardust Ball Room in The Bronx. After the show, Vascones told Garcia about a disco in Manhattan that needed a permanent DJ because the resident DJ Jellybean Benitez was leaving to work at another disco. The Garcia DJ brothers auditioned for the owner of the discotheque "La Mariposa" in Washington Heights and got the job. In 1982, Mickey became a solo DJ and began working at The Clam Bar Lounge on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. Not long after, Tony Humphries, a Mixmaster DJ for 98.7 Kiss FM, invited Garcia to mix for the station. He prepared a one-hour mix show on a reel-to-reel tape for Humphries, who liked the mix and aired the Mixshow in July 1983. Garcia went on to do several mix shows for the station.
In 1985, Garcia attended Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn and began working at the college radio station WKRB B91 “The Rhythm Of The City” as a DJ on-air personality a few days a week. Along with reading commercials on the air and reading the news and weather, Garcia would play the format music on the program logs and would remix and multi-edit various songs that were on rotation. He would invite recording artists from the New York area who had just released new songs to be interviewed on the air. Soon after, Garcia began working with Elvin Molina, who was then known for creating music demos from his bedroom. Garcia and Molina would go on to create the hit freestyle song I won’t Stop Loving You with a local Bronx lyricist named Marilyn Rodriguez. Marilyn connected them with singer Diana Garcia, who performed under the name Diamond Eyes, who recorded vocals for the song. The demo became a huge hit with DJs in the Bronx and it caught the attention of VIP Record Pool Director Al Pizarro, who made it a hit at the club La Mirage where he was the weekend DJ. Pizarro took a cassette of I Won’t Stop Loving You to play it for a few executives at record labels. It caught the attention of Eddie O’Loughlin, president of Next Plateau Records. He was interested in signing Garcia and Molina as the next producers for the popular group C-Bank and wanted I Won’t Stop Loving You to be the next C-Bank song. The two signed the track to Next Plateau Records and it became the next C-Bank release performed by C-Bank and featuring Diamond Eyes. The song peaked at #45 on the Billboard Hot Dance Charts.
In 1986, Vascones introduced Garcia to Judy Torres. Torres auditioned for Garcia and blew him away with her powerful voice. Garcia offered her a production contract with himself and Molina, then his producing partner, and they began working on several tracks to present to Torres. Garcia reached out to Rodriguez again to write lyrics to various instrumentals on a cassette tape and the song No Reason To Cry was created. The song peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot Dance Charts.
In 1987, Garcia attended the New Music Seminar at the Marriot Marquis hotel in Times Square where he met with Prelude Records owner Marvin Schlachter. They had known each other for some time as Garcia had played many songs from Prelude Records when he was a DJ for 98.7 Kiss FM. Schlachter asked Garcia if he would be interested in producing songs for MarTru Records, a new record label he was starting. Garcia had wanted to start his own record company but didn't know how to run a label or have the capitol to invest. They decided to create a label together, with Garcia making the hits and Schlachter handling the business side of things. They got an attorney to draw up the shareholders agreement and formed the record label MicMac Records, Inc. Garcia and MicMac Records have been featured in Billboard magazine, Spin magazine, DJ Times, The Face magazine, and The Village Voice.
Personal life
In 1996, Garcia met Norah Alberto at the WPN 9 television station's The Richard Bey Show where she worked as a producer. In 2008, they had a daughter named Isabella Mikaella Alberto Garcia who is an American actress, artist, and musician. Garcia was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 2017.

Zombie pornography is an emerging subgenre of pornography involving zombies, a type of undead being with uncontrollable appetites but no personal desire. Films in the subgenre emerged in a surge in the 1980s Italian sexploitation industry and in 1990s America, but their use of zombie sex was primarily to shock the viewer. Film-maker Bruce LaBruce released Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008) and L.A. Zombie (2010), two gay zombie porn films seen by scholars as subverting homophobic tropes about gay life.
Background
Zombies have been part of American popular culture since the early twentieth century, and their early depictions were based on Haitian and African folklore. For the earliest depictions, zombies were not truly undead beings, but living people without consciousness, animated by magic. Modern American zombies are based on Night of the Living Dead (1968), a film by George A. Romero called the "modern zombie ur-text" by porn studies scholar Shaka McGlotten. According to McGlotten, the zombie is associated with Haiti through the Western world's reactions to the Haitian Revolution, where while enslaved people broke free from French rule and challenged the dominant economic system, this was seen "as a matter of bloodshed... and boundless material destruction".
Emergence and examples
In the 1980s, zombie porn began to emerge during a rise in Italian sexploitation releases, such as in Joe D'Amato's film Erotic Nights of the Living Dead (1980). In the 1990s, a few obscure American zombie porn films were released. The predominant theme of these films was cannibalism, and zombie sexuality was not a primary focus; its instrumental value was instead to further shock the viewer.
Bruce LaBruce produced two zombie porn films, Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008) and L.A. Zombie (2010). Otto is about Otto, a gay zombie with amnesia, and Medea Yarn, a film-maker who wants to create Up with Dead People, a gay zombie porn film which depicts zombie sex spurring a revolution against the living. L.A. Zombie revolves around a central zombie, who wanders throughout Los Angeles, "fucking dead young men back to life".
When L.A. Zombie was the subject of classification in New Zealand, the classification board said that because the film's protagonist becomes "increasingly lonely, isolated and monstrous" because of his sexual activity, it did not "normalise" having sex with dead people. As a result, it was not banned under obscenity laws. In contrast, the Australian classification board banned the film a few weeks before it was scheduled to show at the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF), and the MIFF could not screen it. In response, a clandestine showing was done by the Melbourne Underground Film Festival on 29 August 2010. While this screening was illegal, Australian authorities did not raid the underground festival, and instead searched the director's home and ordered him to donate $750 to a children's hospital.
In the twenty-first century, the soundscapes of zombie porn remain "an emergent proto-genre" of music.
Analysis
James J. Ward, a professor at Cedar Crest College, suggests that zombie porn's transgressions of the taboos against necrophilia and male viewers' fear of castration may be appealing for some. At the same time, he argues that because zombie sex "raises the likelihood of" participants being literally destroyed, because zombies carry filth and disease, and because the zombie is ontologically blank—they have "no awareness and affect" and are driven by "the most primitive and carnal of all desires" (to eat)—zombie porn remains largely unappealing. He concludes that zombie porn is neither new nor alluring.
According to queer studies scholar Jasmine McGowan, Otto and L.A. Zombie are transgressive films because they "invert the homophobic tropes of disease and contagion". McGlotten wrote that LaBruce's films—both about gay zombie sex—evoke thoughts not only of death, but also life, and that they posit a theory that "some kinds of death... may be worse than others, and some are animating or reanimating". They say this contradictory stance is reminiscent of the scholarly work of Leo Bersani, Lee Edelman, and Tim Dean, all of whom "have sought... to recuperate" the associations between gay sexuality and death. They stress, however, that LaBruce's films are more hopeful than theories like Edelman's—theories built out of gay people rejecting social life—because they offer alternatives (such as public sex communities), similar to the queer art of failure, a concept by queer theorist Jack Halberstam.
Scholarly analysis of the subgenre is, according to zombie studies scholar Sarah Juliet Lauro, limited because it does not take into consideration the Haitian origins of the figure. She says figures like zombie matelas (mattress zombies), a Haitian class of zombie sex slaves, are informative in understanding the possible extent of agency in zombie porn.

Crandal Mackey (December 15, 1865 – March 31, 1957), sometimes spelled Crandall, was an American lawyer and newspaper publisher. He served as the commonwealth attorney of Alexandria County, Virginia from 1904 to 1916, and led raids in Rosslyn, Virginia of gambling dens in 1904.
Early life
Crandal Mackey was born on December 15, 1865, in Shreveport, Louisiana to Thomas Jefferson Mackey. His father was a lawyer, captain of engineers during the Civil War and judge of a circuit court. Later, the family moved to Chester, South Carolina.
Mackey attended the North Carolina Military Institute. Mackey occasionally worked in cotton fields while growing up in South Carolina. The family moved to Washington, D.C. when he turned 18. He attended Randolph Macon College and participated in football and boxing sports while there. He graduated from the George University Law School with a law degree in 1889.
Career
In 1885, Mackey was appointed a clerk in the U.S. Department of War. He then became an examiner of pensions and started to practice law. On June 21, 1898, Mackey was appointed a captain of the 10th U.S. Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Spanish–American War. After the war, he returned to practicing law in Washington, D.C.
Mackey was elected as the commonwealth attorney of Alexandria County, Virginia by one vote in 1904. He ran as the anti-gambling candidate against Dick Johnson. He assumed office in January 1904 and served until 1916, replaced by Frank L. Ball. While commonwealth attorney, he led raids on gambling dens and houses in Rosslyn, Jackson City and St. Asaph's in May 1904. Frank Lyon was also a member of the raids. The raids caused gambling houses in Rosslyn and Jackson City to shutter, including the poolroom at St. Asaph Racetrack.
Mackey was opposed to the county manager style of government that Arlington County imposed in 1930. He later ran for the U.S. Congress in 1930, on a platform of states' rights and calling for the repeal of the 18th Amendment in favor of statewide control of liquor. He lost the Democratic primary to Howard W. Smith.
Mackey was an editor and publisher of a newspaper in Arlington called The Chronicle. He was one of the charter members of the Arlington County Bar Association. He was also a director of the Arlington National Bank and the National Mortgage and Investment Company. He was one of the organizers of the Arlington Trust Company and was a member of the Board of Trustees of George Washington University.
Personal life
Mackey married Mary, and had seven children, including Argyle, Joseph, Darlington, Thomas, Alice and Virginia. Mackey lived on a hill above Rosslyn called "Mackey's Hill".
Mackey moved to Alexandria County around 1896. Mackey and his family were in an automobile accident in 1912. Mackey jumped out of his car before it fell over an embankment. He later broke his hip in an automobile accident in 1951.
Death
Mackey died on March 31, 1957. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Legacy
Virginia would later assume statewide control over liquor, a stance that Mackey supported later in his career.
Arlington County named a 70,000 square foot park after Mackey on the block where Mackey shut down gambling houses. In 2014, Crandal Mackey Park was replaced by the Central Place housing development.

Henry Adolph Busch (December 30, 1931 – June 6, 1962) was an American serial killer who killed three women, including his aunt, in California in 1960.
Events preceding murders
Busch lived by himself in an apartment in Los Angeles and had no prior criminal record. He worked in a factory and sometimes had coffee before work with a fellow employee, Magdalena Parra.
Murders
On May 1, 1960, Busch visited the apartment of 74-year-old Elmyra Miller. She had been his friend since he was a child. The two talked for some time and watched television together. As Busch got up to leave, he saw Miller standing with her back to him. Busch felt an urge to kill her and strangled her to death. To avoid drawing suspicion, he pulled Miller's clothing over her hips and tore her underclothing to make the murder appear to be sexually motivated. Miller's body was found by her visiting doctor the next day.
On September 4, 1960, Busch went to his adoptive's mother apartment. She was not there, but he saw Shirley Payne, a 72-year-old who lived in the apartment above his adoptive mother's apartment. He invited her to watch Psycho, which had been released months ago at the time, at a local theater. She accepted his officer. After watching the movie, the two went to Busch's apartment and drank beer, and, according to Busch, had sex. When Payne was about to leave, Busch suddenly felt an urge to kill her and strangled her to death. The following day, he bought a sleeping bag, placed Payne's body in it, and tied it shut with a rope. He kept the sleeping bag inside his apartment a rope.
On September 5, 1960, Busch went to the apartment of 53-year-old Margaret Briggs, a half-sister of his adoptive mother. He took a knife with him. Busch viewed Briggs as an aunt and often sought her advice. He said he'd considered telling her about the killing of Mrs. Payne, but decided not to. The two watch television together for several hours. Afterwards, as Briggs was standing in the room, Busch he grabbed her from behind with his left forearm across her throat and strangled her. Briggs resisted more the others, knocking over furniture. Busch told her he was sorry, but said he could not overcome his urge to kill her. Afterwards, he cut off her clothing, cutting her breast in the process. According to the police, there appeared to be cigarette burns and other wounds, including bruises around her body and her scalp, which Busch did not explain.
The next day, Busch took Briggs' car keys and drove her car to the factory where he worked. However, the place where Busch usually got coffee was closed. He met Parra nearby and asked her if she ride with him to another place for coffee, and she agreed. However, when the two got in the car, Busch suddenly attacked Parra, attempting to strangle her. Parra managed to fight him off and escape from the car. Busch tried to turn his car on, but the engine flooded. He then tried to escape on foot, but was caught by two truck drivers. Two officers who arrived at the scene found a knife and a pair of handcuffs in his possession.
As Busch was being driven to a police station, he told the officers that he had killed two women in the past week and offered to lead them to their bodies. As the police investigated these crimes, he then confessed to Miller's murder. Defendant did not take the stand as a witness in his own behalf.
Trial and execution
Busch was charged with first degree murder for each killing, and pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. He did not take the stand in his defense. Busch was found guilty of second degree murder for killing Miller and Payne, but guilty of first degree murder for killing Briggs since he had brought a knife. The jury did not make a recommendation for mercy for the first degree murder conviction, making a death sentence for mandatory. After his appeals failed, Busch was executed at San Quentin on June 6, 1962.

Brian Davies is a British emeritus professor of medical robotics at Imperial College London. He developed Probot, the first robotic device to operate upon a human being. Later, he developed the haptic based robotic assistant known as 'Acrobot', the first haptic based robot to be used in orthopaedic surgery. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.
Career
Brian Davies began his career at Imperial College London in 1983. He completed his doctorate in medical robotics.
In 1987, working with urologist, John Wickham, Davies developed Probot, a robot for prostate surgery and in 1991 it was the first robotic device to operate upon a human being. By 1999, with orthopaedic surgeon Justin Cobb, he developed the robotic assistant known as 'Acrobot', the first haptic based robot to be used in orthopaedic surgery. In 1999 he co-founded the spinout ‘Acrobot’, which was later acquired by Stanmore Implants. In 2001 he was awarded a DSc.
He later developed the robot Sculptor, to assist surgeons in replacing knee joints.
Awards
In 2015, for his work into robots, he was awarded the life-time achievement award by the International Society of Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA).

An employment bond is a contract requiring that an employee continue to work for their employer for a specified period, under penalty of a monetary forfeiture to the employer. Such contracts and associated surety bonds are similar to indentured servitude or serfdom, in that although employees are compensated, they are not permitted to leave their employment except under specified conditions. However, in general, the only penalty for breaching the contract is payment of the bond amount.
Legality
India
The landmark case Toshniwal Brothers (Pvt.) Ltd. vs Eswarprasad, E. and Others, decided in 1996, describes the legality of employment bonds in India. It holds that under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, contracts requiring an employee to pay a bond if they prematurely resign their employment are legal and enforceable, at least in cases where employers pay expenses like training for the employee. The case refers to the 1973 Supreme Court of India case Union of India (Uoi) vs. Rampur Distillery and Chemical Co. Ltd., which held that a surety bond in favour of the Government of India securing the delivery of some rum was unenforceable because the government did not show an actual loss, among other cases, to limit the forfeiture of bond to cases where the employer has suffered some cognizable loss. A related case from 1995 in the Madras High Court, P. Nagarajan vs. Southern Structurals Ltd., corroborated the limitation of damages payable to the loss actually suffered even in spite of a liquidated damages stipulation. The employee cannot be ordered by the court to return to service for their previous employer after leaving; they can only be found to forfeit the bond.
United States
Demands for specific performance in personal services contracts (i.e. to remain in employment) are generally unenforceable under the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. However, whether damages can become payable under these contracts varies by industry and industry-specific circumstances. For example, in the music industry, an agreement to work for a specific record label may be enforceable and result in the awarding of damages; though this is not often an employment agreement, it is a personal services agreement and specific performance is unavailable as a remedy due to the Thirteenth Amendment.

Herangi Range is a range of hills south of Marokopa and north of Awakino, in the Waikato region of New Zealand, reaching to the Tasman Sea at Tapirimoko, Tirua, Taungaururoa, Te Mauku and Ngarupupu Points. Just to the south of Ngarupupu, the Waikawau River enters the sea. Other rivers draining the range are Mangaotaki River, Awakino River and Manganui River. Herangi is part of the Whareorino conservation area.
Herangi is in the Maniapoto rohe. Pā and other archaeological sites are found close together along the coast, but very few in the range itself. The Kiritehere valley was settled in the 1900s, but much of the rest of the range is in Whareorino Conservation Area, of particular importance for its native frogs.
A Reims Cessna F152 II crashed into a tree on a ridge between Whareorino () and Mangatoa Saddle on 21 July 2009. The pilot, who died, was inexperienced and had not complied with requirements to calculate a route allowing for the poor weather.
Geography
The main peaks from north to south are Maungamangero , Te Heruera , Maugatewharau , Te Whakapatiki and Herangi .
Mangatoa and Manganui Roads follow a north–south route through the ranges, running from Marokopa, south, via Kiritehere, Moeatoa, rising over the Mangatoa Saddle, Waikawau and a lower saddle to follow the Manganui valley through to Awakino. The road was built about 1935, when the last surfboats plied wool to the Holm & Co vessel, Parera, off the beach at Nukuhakari. Prior to that, even travel on horseback was difficult.
Mt Duthie, , gets about of rain a year. It and Mt Brookes were named after the surveyors who mapped them, F Duthie and Edwin Stanley Brookes Jnr.
Piritoki Reef
Piritoki Reef lies about north of Tirua Point. Its sharp rocks create an area of turbulent sea. They rise to about a metre above sea level. The Northern Steamship Company's 307 ton Kia Ora foundered on the reef in fog on 13 June 1907, with the loss of 3 lives. The Chief Officer was blamed, with a suspicion of being inebriated, but his suspended certificate was returned within a few months.
Tirua Point
Tirua Point has cliffs on the north side of the Point rising to over . In the 1860s it was thought the country was at its widest between Tolaga Bay and Tirua Point. The 1:50,000 map shows the easting of the northern headland of Ngararahae Bay, just south of Tirua Point as 1742785, and Marau Point, on the north side of Kaiaua Bay, on same latitude on the east coast, as 2068929 the difference being just over .
Tirua Point is on Nukuhakari Station, where grazing increased the advance of dunes in both Nukuhakari and Ngararahae Bays. Thousands of spinifex, planted in 2015, 2016 and 2017, have reduced sand movement.
Geology
Herangi is part of the roughly north - south Kāwhia Syncline, Triassic Newcastle Group form the west side of the range, with sandstones, siltstones and greywacke folded, faulted and covered by Middle Jurassic Rengarenga carbonaceous sandstone and other sedimentary rocks. The main rivers flow across broad alluvial floodplains, from which the hills of Mesozoic rock rise sharply. Steep homoclinal ridges and hogbacks are prominent, with dip slopes often underlain by more resistant sandstone. The coast has near-vertical cliffs, generally behind an ironsand beach.
Tracks
Currently 4 tracks offer alternative routes to Leitch's Hut, which has 16 bunk beds, heating, mattresses, non-flush toilets, untreated tap water and no booking system. Sam Leitch was awarded the area in a World War I soldiers' land ballot. His home was in the clearing where the hut is and his plantings of macrocapa and eleagnus remain. The tracks are classed as Advanced Tramping tracks, in the more difficult 5th level, as defined in DoC's 6 levels of walking track categories. The exception is Leitch's Track, which is a level easier, as an Intermediate: Easier tramping track.
Leitch's Track is over . It starts at the end of Leitch Road, on a well graded road, then passes farmland and climbs into bush, before descending to Leitch's clearing, with no major streams to cross.
Mahoenui Track follows the Awakino River for . It is closed from 1 September to 10 October each year for lambing. It starts at the end of Gribbon Road and crosses the river near the hut, but is not passable after heavy rain.
Mangatoa Track crosses the Herangi Range for , starting at the Mangatoa Road saddle and gradually climbing to the Herangi Ridge, before turning right, down to the Waikawau Track junction and Leitch's Hut. It too is not passable after heavy rain.
Waikawau Track is the longest, , overgrown and unmarked in places, with windfalls, slips and flooding after heavy rain. It starts on Crawford Road on the north bank of the Waikawau River, near Waikawau, follows the river, then Mangapapa Stream to Waikawau Saddle and then drops to Leitch's Clearing and crosses the Awakino River to the hut.
Wildlife
The Herangi Range is part of Whareorino Conservation Area. It has a moist climate, with rainfall of 1.6 to 2.50m a year. The ridges are covered by a sub-alpine vegetation of low scrub and kaikawaka along with neinei, pepperwood and divaricating shrubs interspersed with areas of cushion bog. At lower levels kohekohe is abundant on lower slopes facing the sea, but tawa is dominant inland, giving way to tawheowheo scrub at higher levels. Birds include karearea, many forest birds and, in 1987, there were occasional sightings of kaka and kōkako. Hochstetter's frog lives by most of the streams. Archey's frog is found in moist, medium to high-altitude forest. Herangi and Coromandel Ranges are the only places where natural remnants of these critically endangered frogs live. Some tracks have been closed to prevent the spread of chytrid fungus to Archey's frogs. The Native Forests Restoration Trust's Steuart Russell Reserve has a sizeable North Island brown kiwi population and is the most northerly forest where hard beech dominates. Uncommon Brachyglottis kirkii, white rātā, climbing rātā, akatea, northern rātā, rōhutu, shrub panax and the orchids, Caladenia bartlettii and Corybas rivularis, were recorded on Maungamangero in 1983.
Pests
Marokopa was one of many areas around the country where acclimatisation societies introduced possums in the 1920s. DoC and Regional Council have a programme to control goats and possums in Herangi.

White Bear (Carlyle) Lake
is a closed-basin lake in the Moose Mountain Upland. It is the largest lake on the plateau, slightly larger than its neighbour, Kenosee Lake. White Bear (Carlyle) Lake is within the White Bear 70 Indian reserve and Carlyle Lake Resort is along the southern shore. The lake and its amenities can be accessed from Highway 9.
Originally the lake was named Carlyle Lake by the first European settlers to the area. In the late 1970s control of the lake was handed over to the White Bear First Nations and at that time the lake was renamed to White Bear (Carlyle) Lake.
Water levels
Beaver are not native to Moose Mountain and in 1923, two breeding pairs from Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan were brought to nearby Kenosee Lake. The beavers flourished and soon dams were blocking not just inflow creeks to Kenosee, but White Bear (Carlyle) Lake as well. According to aerial photographs, the surface of White Bear (Carlyle) Lake in 1928 was 737 metres asl. By 1945, it had dropped to 732 m. In 1954, four beaver dams in area were destroyed, which helped raise lake levels. By the late 1950s, the lake recovered to 735 m. Without continued intervention regarding dams, the lake level began to fall again and by 2008, it had dropped to 728 metres.
In 2008, the Moose Mountain Water Resource Management Corp. partnered with Moose Mountain Provincial Park to control beavers in and around the park through trapping and by blasting beaver dams. Once again, lake levels began to rise. The eventual goal is to raise Kenosee Lake levels enough so that it flows into White Bear (Carlyle) Lake, which hasn't happened since 1928.
Fish species
The most common fish in the lake is walleye.

Sir John Ogle (1569 – 1640) was an English military commander.
Life
Origins
John Ogle was the fifth son of Thomas Ogle of Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire (died 3 May 1574) by Jane (died 2 September 1574), daughter of Adlard Welby of Gedney, Lincolnshire. The eldest son, Sir Richard Ogle, knighted on 23 April 1603, was sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1608, and died insolvent in the Fleet in 1627. His portrait is at Ayscoughfee Hall. Born at Pinchbeck, John was baptised there on 28 February 1568–9.
The Low Countries
Devoting himself to the profession of arms, he became in 1591 sergeant-major-general under Sir Francis Vere in the Low Countries, and remained on active service there for nearly thirty years. On 2 July 1600 he took part, as lieutenant-colonel under Sir Francis Vere, in the great Battle of Nieuport. In the retreat of the English at the opening of the engagement, he helped to rescue Vere, who had been wounded. Afterwards he rallied the English force, and, renewing the fight, finally drove the enemy back. Ogle was also with Vere while the latter was besieged in Ostend. In December 1601, when Vere desired negotiations with the Spanish besiegers, Ogle was sent to the camp of the Archduke as hostage for the safety of the Spanish envoys who were sent to Vere's quarters. William Dillingham included in his Commentaries of Sir Francis Vere (1657) Ogle's accounts of the last charge at the battle of Nieuport, and of the parley at Ostend.
During a brief stay in England in 1603, Ogle was knighted at Woodstock (10 December), but he soon returned to the Low Countries, and actively helped to recover Sluis from the Spaniards in April 1604. With the other English colonels, Sir Horace Vere and Sir Edward Cecil, Ogle had frequent differences of opinion; but his energy and politic temper were fully recognised by the States-General and the stadtholder, Prince Maurice, who in 1610 nominated him to the responsible office of governor of Utrecht. That city was at the time showing those first signs of discontent with the policy of Prince Maurice and the States-General which led, a few years later, to serious internal commotion throughout the Dutch provinces. And one of Ogle s earliest duties was to suppress a conspiracy which had for its object the seizure of himself and the overpowering of his garrison. When Barneveldt, the leader of the party opposed to Prince Maurice, gained a position of influence in Utrecht, Ogle hesitated to take any strong measures against him, because he had been a friend and admirer of Ogle's former chief, Sir Francis Vere. But in 1618, when urged by Barneveldt's supporters to place his soldiers at their disposal, he deliberately refused. His attitude had not, however, been sufficiently decisive, in the earlier stages of the movement, to warrant his continuance in his office, and before the year closed he was succeeded as governor by Sir Horace Vere. Shortly afterwards he finally left the Low Countries.
England
In consideration of his services abroad, James I made Ogle a grant of arms on 11 January 1614–15. While in Holland he had not wholly neglected affairs at home, and was one of the most enthusiastic members of the Virginia Company. His name appears as one of the promoters in both the second (23 May 1609) and third (March 1612) charters of the company. On his return to England he was readmitted a member, and he joined the council in 1623. In the same year Henry West, 4th Baron de la Warr, transferred to him three shares in the company. In April 1624 Ogle was appointed by James I member of a new and important council of war, which represented all the available military knowledge of the day. The immediate business of the council was to consider England's intervention in the Thirty Years' War, but Ogle was largely occupied in surveying the fortifications on the sea-coast. In 1625 he was present at James I's funeral. Shortly afterwards he undertook, with other speculators, the task of draining the level of Hatfield Chace in Yorkshire. The venture proved unremunerative, and dwellers in the neighbourhood petitioned the council of York in 1634 for the arrest of Ogle and his partners, owing to their failure to complete the operations. At the same time, "with a purpose rather to mend his fortunes than to require his attendance", Ogle received, with the approval of Lord Deputy Wentworth, a captain's commission in the army employed in Ireland. But when he claimed pay, amounting in May 1638 to 1,464l. 11s., for merely nominal services, Wentworth declined to recognise the demand, despite the favour extended by the king to Ogle's petition.
Legacy
Ogle was buried in Westminster Abbey on 17 March 1639–40. His burial in the abbey is also noted in the parish register of St. Peter-le-Poer, London. His will, dated 6 December 1628, was proved on 15 July 1640. His widow, Elizabeth, daughter of Cornelius de Vries of Dordrecht, was the executrix. On 11 May 1622 a grant of denization was made to Lady Elizabeth, Ogle's wife, and to John, Thomas, Cornelius, and Dorothy, his children, all of whom were born in the Low Countries. Among the archives of the House of Lords is a draft bill (dated 1626) for naturalising Ogle's wife, four sons, and seven daughters; this bill did not become law.
An engraved portrait by William Faithorne appears in Dillingham's Commentaries of Vere (1657), and is reproduced in Brown's Genesis of the United States (1891). A black patch covers the left eye. The eldest son, Sir John Ogle of Pinchbeck, was knighted at Oxford on 2 February 1645–6; and, dying unmarried on 26 March 1663, was buried in St. John the Baptist Chapel of Westminster Abbey. A second son, Thomas (died 1702), was knighted in 1660, and became governor of Chelsea Hospital in 1696. Of Ogle's seven daughters, Livina was wife of Sir John Manwood, the judge. The names of three other daughters – Utricia or Eutretia (1600–1642), Trajectina, and Henerica – commemorated his connection with the Low Countries.

Stefanus François Naudé Gie (13 July 1884 – 10 April 1945) was a South African historian, politician, and diplomat.
Educator
Gie was born in Worcester, Cape Colony (now the Western Cape province) to an Afrikaner family. Like all Afrikaners, he was of Dutch, French and German descent. His parents were Coenraad Johannes Carolus Gie and Martha Naude. Gie was educated at the Worcester Boys High School and at the Victoria College (now Stellenbosch University) in Stellenbosch. Subsequently, he studied at the University of Amsterdam and at Humboldt University of Berlin, where he received his PhD. Gie's PhD supervisor was Friedrich Meinecke, one of the most famous German historians of his generation. Gie's PhD thesis was Die Kanditatur Ludwigs XIV bei der Kaiserwahl vom Jahre 1658, concerning the candidacy of King Louis XIV of France for the office of Holy Roman Emperor in 1658.
Between 1906 and 1909, he worked as a teacher in Cradock and Worcester. In 1910, he was promoted to Inspector of Schools. In 1911, he became the Principal of the Teachers’ Training College in Graaff-Reinett. Gie married Johanna Jordaan and had three sons, namely Coenraad, Johan, and Gert. As an Afrikaner nationalist, he was keen to promote cultural projects that would uphold a sense of Afrikaner identity. In 1915, he was a founding member of the Letterkundige en Toneel Vereniging theater company in Graaff-Reinet. Gie served as both a director and an actor with the Letterkundige en Toneel Vereniging company.
In 1918, he became the first ever professor of South African History at Stellenbosch University, rising up to become the Chair of the South African History department at Stellenbosch. The South African historian W.S. Barnard described Gie as "a sophisticated, but ardent Afrikaner nationalist" who successfully championed to have the language of instruction at Stellenbosch changed from Dutch to Afrikaans.
Gie became the foremost Afrikaner historian of his generation, one of the first professionally trained Afrikaner historians who set out to give the increasing literate Afrikaners a history that they could be proud of. As the Boers were generally illiterate in the 19th century, writing on South African history tended to be either the work of British historians or Anglos (South African whites of British descent). The dominant historical model for South African history-writing in the early 20th century was to portray South Africa as merely a part of the British empire, albeit an especially important part. Gie ando other Afrikaner historians sought to challenge this model and instead put forward the thesis of the volksgeskiedenis ("people's history") that saw South African history as a subject in its own right and placed the Afrikaners in the center of the story.
Gie saw himself as one of the leaders of "scientific-objective" history, stating in a 1920 speech to his students at Stellenbosch that to be a "scientific" historian required a "honest and objective" outlook, which could only be gained via "hard work and experience". Gie become one of the principle promoters of "scientific-objective history", which became the dominant model for history writing in Afrikaans in South Africa until the end of apartheid in 1994. Gie saw history as a social science where historians would work just like scientists in discovering the underlining social forces in their society to offer up "scientific" explanations for historical developments in a purely "objective" and neutral manner. The South African historian Albert Grundlingh wrote this model of "scientific-objective history" that so dominated history writing in South Africa was largely an attempt for South African historians to hide their biases behind a spurious façade of "objectivity" that was said to be grounded in the pure rationality of science itself. Grundlingh noted that despite the claims of "objective-scientific" historians to be offering up "scientific" explanations that such historians in practice tended to avoid analytical writing, instead preferring to give a description of what happened in the past instead of why. Grundlingh also noted in the "scientific-objective history", the focus was on political as opposed to social history, which gave the rather misleading impression that the Boers/Afrikaners were more united than was often the case, promoting an "us vs. them" narrative of the history of the volk as a series of struggles against their enemies. The Kenyan historian Munene Mwaniki noted that the "scientific-objective" history was heavily influenced by the ideals of "scientific" history promoted by Leopold von Ranke that was very popular in Europe, especially in Germany and the Netherlands, as most of the Afrikaner historians such as Gie were educated in either the Netherlands and/or in Germany. Mwaniki noted that in the "scientific-objective" histories the focus tended to be on "national" history with a strong focus on political and military history; that such histories tended to be descriptive rather than analytical; and that blacks only appeared in these histories with regard to military history as the opponents of the Boers and were otherwise absent from South African history.
Because of his training in the Netherlands and Germany, Gie had "an almost obsessive Rankian approach" to history and he held to the distinction commonly held in European universities at the time between anthropology and history. For Gie, anthropology was the scientific study of "illiterate and barbarian masses" vs. history which for him was the scientific study of the pasts of "civilized nations". Thus for Gie, South African history was the history of South African whites while the history of black South Africans was anthropology. Gie defined his interests as the study of "civilized" and "white" South Africans as he wrote that the volksgeskiedenis ("people's history") was really the "History of European Civilization in South Africa". The volksgeskiedenis defined the history of the Afrikaners as a story of larger-than-life leaders who heroically led their tough and hardy people deep into the veld to create "civilization". During his time at Stellenbosh, he wrote what became his 1928 book Geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika, of Ons Verlede (History of South Africa, of Our Past), which he later retitled Geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika, 1652–1795 (History of South Africa, 1652–1795). A second volume entitled Geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika, 1795-1918 was later published. Geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika became the favorite history book of the Afrikaner nationalists. In 1940 Geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika became mandatory reading for high school students in South Africa.
Most notably, for Gie, South African history began when the first Dutch settlers arrived in 1652 and before 1652 South Africa quite literally had no history. Gie openly admitted that he ignored the history of "the native" because to tell "the Civilized History of South Africa" required taking into account the connection between "the white man and the old cultural circles over the sea". Gie wrote that to own the land required working the land, and as such he argued that the indigenous Khoekhoe nomadic pastoralists whom he called by the very disparaging name "Hottentots" had no right to any land ownership because of their nomadic lifestyle together with what he called their "politics of robbery". Gie wrote: "no individual or nation has absolute rights to the land. If someone wants to remain in possession he must display his right through his use of the land. A nation is obliged to make as much use of his land as is possible for the service of humanity". In this way, Gie argued that the "Hottentots" as he called the Khoekhoe had no right to the land that they were living on. By contrast, he argued that the Dutch settlers, who were joined later on in the 17th century by French Huguenot refugees and German settlers, were the "legitimate" owners of the land because they were the "workers of the land".
Gie played an important role in promoting the idea that Jan van Riebeeck who founded the Dutch East India Company's fort at what is now Cape Town was the founder of South Africa. Gie wrote that van Riebeeck was the "founder of our South Africa, the South Africa of the white man". By contrast, Riebeeck's wife, Maria van Riebeeck, became for Gie a symbol of the "good breeding" that marked the beginning of the "white race" in South Africa as well becoming a symbol of domesticity that he saw as desirable for Afrikaner women. Gie was one of the leaders of the campaign to make 6 April-the day that van Riebeeck landed at Cape Town in 1652-into a public holiday as for him this was the beginning of South African history itself. A sign of Gie's influence was in 1938 when the South African government to mark the 100th anniversary of the Great Trek of 1838 organised a reenactment of the Great Trek with oxen pulling wagons carrying actors dressed in the style of the 19th century Boers. Significantly, the reenactment of the Great Trek did not begin where it actually began, namely Graaff-Reinet and the other towns of the eastern Cape Province, but rather in Cape Town at the foot of a statue of van Riebeeck, thus presenting a line of continuity between the founding of Cape Town in 1652 and the Great Trek of 1838, even through there is no evidence to suggest that van Riebeeck ever envisioned sending settlers deep into the veld of South Africa. Gie was a member of the National Party, the Afrikaner nationalist party that represented the 'republican' (i.e. anti-British) tendency as well as the Broederbond, a secretive and elitist group of Afrikaner intellectuals. About his involvement in the Broederbond, Gie wrote: "It was especially their work, their upholding of the white man's honor [emphasis in the original], their courage, patience, and sense of freedom which gave us a South Africa where we can be happy, free and prosperous".
In 1926, he became the South African Secretary of Education. In 1927, he was the driving force behind passing the Architects Act that regulated the training of architects in South Africa. One South African architect,Geoffrey Pearse recalled: "Under the Act a Board of Education was set up. At its first meeting Dr Gie, Secretary for Education was present to discuss the educational requirements of the Institute and particularly the entrance qualifications of students. When I proposed that the Matriculation examination should be accepted this was opposed by Mr Howden, President in Chief of the Institute of South African Architects and Mr. Moore, the Vice President, who did not think this was necessary. I was amused when Dr Gie folded up his papers and said that under the circumstances the training of architects could be undertaken by the Technical Colleges. This was a shock to the opposition who finally agreed that all architectural education should be undertaken by the Universities and that the Matriculation examination should be the entrance qualification."
Diplomat
From 1934 to 1939, he served as the South African minister-plenipotentiary to Germany. Gie was a Germanophile who very much enjoyed his positing in Berlin. Gie embraced Nazism and in his dispatches to Pretoria portrayed the Nazi regime in a most favorable light possible while constantly going on about alleged "conspiracies" by the Jews against Germany. Gie attributed to the Jews vast and sinister powers to manipulate world politics and economies, and in his reading of events Germany was forever the victim of the Jews. The Prime Minister J. B. M. Hertzog did not share Gie's antisemitism, but the mostly positive picture of the Third Reich presented by Gie was used by the prime minister to support his foreign policy. Hertzog also worked as his own foreign minister, and all of Gie's dispatches went straight to him. Hertzog was not anti-Semitic, but he was an ardent Germanophile. The deputy Prime Minister, Jan Smuts was a Christian Zionist who worked closely with various Zionist leaders, and he had an anti-anti-Semitic viewpoint. As a consequence, Gie's relations with Smuts were difficult as Gie was openly hostile towards Smut's Zionism.
In January 1935, the German cruiser Emden visited Cape Town, South Africa's chief seaport, where the South African Defense minister Oswald Pirow arrived to welcome Karl Dönitz, the captain of the Emden, to South Africa. In a speech to the crew of the Emden, Pirow stated: "Germany as a civilised state, is one of the chief exponents of our Western culture, which can be maintained only by white peoples, and preserved only by the united co-operation of all. Today, more than ever, when the rising tide of the colored races is reaching higher and higher, the active help of a strong Germany is more than ever necessary. For us in South Africa the maintenance and spread of our white civilisation is a question of life and death. In this sense, I express the hope that Germany will again soon become a colonial power in Africa". Pirow's speech was ignored at first being only reported in the Cape Argus newspaper until the British journalist George Ward Price, the "extra-special correspondent" of the Daily Mail, brought it up in an interview with Adolf Hitler. In response, Hitler stated: "Until it has been confirmed I should not like to pass any opinion. I will only say that if South Africa or any other government would offer to give us back any of our colonies we would accept them willingly". At that point, the speech became the subject of much debate both within South Africa and in Great Britain, where it was felt to be an offer to return Southwest Africa (modern Namibia) to Germany.
In the British Foreign Office, it was believed that Hitler was "testing the weaker vessel first" as a gambit to force the British, the French and the Belgians to return the former German African colonies. Pirow denied in the South African parliament that the South African government was planning to return Southwest Africa.. Pirow maintained that he was only expressing the wish that Germany have a colonial empire in Africa again. According to the British embassy in Berlin which had learned of the contents of a meeting between Johan Paul van Limburg Stirum, the Dutch minister plenipotentiary to Germany, and Gie, Pirow's speech was not an off-hand statement, but rather the beginning of a new policy as Hertzog felt that having Germany return as a colonial power in Africa was crucial "for the future safety of the white population". According to the source, Hertzog was planning to keep Southwest Africa and also felt that Britain should not return either Tanganyika (modern Tanzania) or Cameroon to Germany. However, the source reported that for Hertzog it would be "ideal" if Germany could take over the Portuguese colonies in Africa, and that it was in this sense that Pirow's speech should be understood.
On 22 October 1935, Gie wrote to the Secretary of External Affairs, Helgard Bodenstein, that the South African Legation in Berlin was being overwhelmed with German Jews seeking to immigrate to South Africa. Gie had an extremely negative view of the German Jews who were lining up in front of the legation on every weekday, writing to Bodenstein that he thought that most of them were Communists, and even those who were not he doubted would fit in very well into South Africa. Gie was in frequent contact with Eric Louw, the South African minister-plenipotentiary in Paris, who shared his antisemitism. In January 1936, Louw submitted to Hertzog a "Memorandum on European Emigration To South Africa" that was co-signed by himself; Gie; Charles te Water, the High Commissioner in London; Wilhelm Heymans, the minister-plenipotentiary in Rome; and Hermann van Broekhuizen, the minister-plenipotentiary in The Hague. The memo is more commonly known as the "te Water Memorandum" as te Water was the best known South African diplomat in the world at the time. The memo warned that South Africa was on the verge of receiving a massive number of European Jews, which the document stated were of "...a type in question that does not inspire confidence. Can South Africa without detriment and even danger to its national interests continue to allow its commerce and related vocations to be fed by recruits of this type from overseas?" The memo ended with the warning that continuing Jewish immigration would affect "the future racial, social and economic structures of White South Africa", and advised ending Jewish immigration at once.
In August 1938, Gie reported to Pretoria that Germany only wanted autonomy for the Sudetenland and was not seeking to annex the Sudetenland. Gie stated if the Czechoslovak president Edvard Beneš was willing to accept the "Karlsbad programe" put forward by the Sudeten German leader Konrad Henlein on 24 April 1938 calling for a wide-ranging autonomy for the Sudetenland, the crisis would be settled. Gie stated it was his impression after talking to Hitler-whom he called the "Olympian Jove"-and his entourage that they did not want a war, but "they will, however, not stand for overmuch Czech intransigence. If the Czechs want a war, they'll get it". Only on 12 September 1938 in a speech to the Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg did Hitler call for the Sudetenland to "go home to the Reich".
During the height of the Sudetenland crisis in September 1938, Gie depicted Hitler in the words of the Canadian historian Michael Graham Fry as "volatile, oratorically violent, risk acceptant, fanatically determined and difficult to predict". Gie felt that Hitler was only reacting to the system by the Treaty of Versailles, but warned it was quite possible that he would order an invasion of Czechoslovakia at any given moment. After the Munich Agreement of 30 September 1938, Gie believed that there was a real possibility of an Anglo-German understanding that might secure the peace of the world. Like te Water in London, Gie had hopes that Neville Chamberlain's plans for a four power pact consisting of Britain, France, Italy and Germany might be realised with the United Kingdom and the Reich as the senior members. Both Gie and te Water believed that such a four power directory would regulate European and African affairs and kept the dreaded Soviet Union, the nation that South African leaders feared the most, at bay. South African elites in common with elites throughout the Commonwealth had an intense fear of another Anglo-German war, believing that it would so weaken the two leading "white" powers that whoever was victorious would be so weakened as to be unable to resist the Soviet Union. In turn, the dominance of the Soviet Union would allow so-called "inferior races" to take over the world as Sir Nevile Henderson, the British ambassador to Germany, put it. Gie warned of dangerous forces at work in both Britain and Germany, one of them being "the Hitler of Godesburg and his Sportspalast speech". However, Gie wrote with the Munich Agreement ending the Sudetenland crisis there was nothing at present that would justify a war for the next "two years at least".
During the Danzig crisis, Gie largely supported the German viewpoint that the Free City of Danzig (modern Gdańsk, Poland) should be allowed to "go home to the Reich". In a dispatch to Herzog on 3 May 1939, Gie wrote that the German claim to Danzig was "just and right", and accused Poland of being the principle danger to the peace of the world. Gie also stated that he believed that Adolf Hitler did not intend to start a war, but that German public opinion might push him into a rash move, especially if the Poles continued to refuse to allow Danzig to rejoin Germany. The British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax who had just read a briefing on the history of Danzig wrote after reading a dispatch from Gie passed on to him by te Water that Gie "should learn some history". Throughout the Danzig crisis, Gie was in close contact with Charles te Water, the South African High Commissioner in London as the two diplomats worked together to ensure South Africa would be neutral if the crisis led to war. Gie was one of the relatively few diplomats in Berlin with whom the British ambassador Sir Nevile Henderson associated with during the Danzig crisis. The other two diplomats whom Henderson often saw were the Belgian minister Vicomte Jacques Davignon and the Italian ambassador Baron Bernardo Attolico. Davignon, Attolico and Gie were all supporters of the line that the Free City of Danzig should be allowed to "go home to the Reich", which was also Henderson's long-standing belief. By contrast, Henderson avoided seeing very much of either the Polish ambassador Józef Lipski or the French ambassador Robert Coulondre, both of whom were stoutly opposed to allowing the Free City to rejoin Germany.
Gie very briefly served as the South African minister plenipotentiary to the Netherlands in 1939. From 1939 to 1944, he served as the South African minister plenipotentiary to Sweden and in 1944–1945, he served as the South African minister to the United States, where he died.

With the arrival of several figures led by Brock Pierce following the passing of hurricane Maria in 2017, cryptocurrency became an issue of mediatic and socioeconomic interest in the Caribbean archipelago of Puerto Rico. These traders relocated to the island motivated by the tax incentives provided by Act 20-2012 and Act 22-2012 (both now part of as Act 60–2019) and the tropical setting. They claimed that their intention was to create an utopian blockchain "crypto city" or "community", which at various times became known by the names of Puertopia, Crypto Rico, Puerto Crypto or Sol, becoming themselves known as "Puertopians". The ideas promoted by this group have prompted a mixed reception, being favored by gubernatorial administrations but also spawning protests from political and grassroots movements that raise concerns about disaster capitalism, gentrification and settler colonialism. Puerto Rico has earned a reputation as a hub for cryptocurrency enthusiasts and, according to Pierce, by 2021 the archipelago had the largest quantity of coins concentrated in a single place in the world.
History
Background
As a semi-autonomous territory that "belongs to, but is not part of" the United States, Puerto Rico is regarded as a foreign jurisdiction by the IRS for tax purposes. However, despite this the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA), does not apply. In 2012, the Promotion of Export Services Act (more commonly known as "Act 20") and the Act to Promote the Relocation of Individual Investors to Puerto Rico (a.k.a. "Act 22"), which facilitated the export of services and offered significant tax exemptions to wealthy individuals that were willing to relocate to Puerto Rico respectively, were passed with the intention of attracting venture funding. Most of the businessmen that arrived since have focused on the acquisition of real estate and other forms of economic development. In 2019, the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico approved Act 60, which integrated all preexisting laws into a new Incentives Code.
Roosevelt Roads Naval Station closed down in 2004, after the United States Navy was ousted from Vieques, Puerto Rico following a wave of civilian protests. Since then, a number of initiatives have been proposed, but the redevelopment of the zone has stalled and only specific facilities have been repurposed. Among the projects that did not made it past the planning stage are the Caribbean Riviera mega-project under Luis Fortuño, the involvement of Clark Realty Capital in housing/commercial projects under Alejandro García Padilla and a large scale amusement park under Ricardo Rosselló. Others, such as the filming of productions like Wrecked and Crossbones or Marine Environmental Remediation Group's boat recycling facility were either temporary or short-lived.
In its current form, cryptocurrency was introduced as a response to the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and anonymous figure Satoshi Nakamoto is considered its popularizer. Bitcoin, created in 2009, was the first decentralized cryptocurrency. Since then, numerous others have been created. An increase in the value of these cryptocurrencies has made several traders wealthy, with some oscillating between being millionaires and billionaires.
Influx of crypto traders, Puertopia
On September 20, 2017, hurricane Maria passed over Puerto Rico, creating what is considered the worst natural disaster on record for the archipelago. Only months later, a group of cryptocurrency figures led by Bitcoin Foundation chairman Brock Pierce relocated to Old San Juan, gathering in hotels and purchasing a colonial building that previously housed a children's museum. The new arrivals numbered in the dozens and were mostly composed by executives of firms (such as Michael Terpin founder of BitAngels and Ethereum Blockchain-as-a-Service entrepreneur Andrew Keys), early adopters, nouveau riche men that had benefitted from the early adoption of Bitcoin and its value rising in 2017, traders and investors, among other enthusiasts. According to a New York Times article that quoted Pierce, it was the economic environment that followed which convinced them to choose the ravaged archipelago. In the words of Fifth Avenue Capital's Stephen Morris, "It's only when everything's been swept away that you can make a case for rebuilding from the ground up". The group unveiled plans to build Puertopia or Sol, a city in which all transactions were made via digital currency and contracts codified in the underlying technology of blockchain. Located at in the derelict remains of Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, the project would include the first cryptocurrency-exclusive bank in the world and was to be a showcase for the group to promote their vision of "what a crypto future could look like". The group claimed that it would be investing in the local economy, in particular the widespread reconstruction efforts following the hurricane.
The Puertopians are part of a larger group of clients that have fueled the creation of local businesses dealing with tax and legal advice for the incoming super rich. A number of foreign-owned banking institutions were created in Puerto Rico, including FV Bank, Mercantile Bank International (SJMX, formerly San Juan Merchantile Exchange) and a new iteration of the historical Medici Bank, all of which welcomed transactions in cryptocurrency. Bitcoin ATMs hosted by Bitstop and Athena began being installed, while Robots Inc. was granted a patent for a similar device. A pattern of decline in the value of digital coins during 2018 directly resulted in the dissolution of the San Juan-based noble bank. As the Puertopians began to lose money, some left Puerto Rico, while others adopted defensive measures while the possibility of a prolonged market crash, known as the "crypto winter", was forthcoming. As traders lost money initiatives involving local non-profits were abandoned, mainly those directed towards aiding the communities that remained affected by the hurricane. The goal to build a crypto city remains unfulfilled, with recent initiatives at Roosevelt Roads focusing on restoring its airport and establishing a spaceport. Pierce, who purchased a colonial building from the Catholic Church in 2020, has claimed that "these were loose ideas, nothing of which was concrete of well thought out". Puertopians themselves broadened their presence in the archipelago, retaining their home base in Old San Juan but acquiring properties in Dorado, Humacao, Rincón and the island municipality of Vieques.
During the summer of 2020, Puerto Rican software mogul Orlando Bravo became interested in Bitcoin while vacationing at Dorado, purchasing an undisclosed amount of it and publicly speaking in its favor. By 2021, the influx had increased again, with the relocation of cryptocurrency hedge funds Pantera and Redwood City Ventures as well as the mining operations of CoinMint. Among these was Frances Haugen, who earned notoriety after exposing the inner workings of Facebook and had purchased enough cryptocurrency "at the right time". At the time, retired baseball player Alfredo Escalera publicly lobbied for more public policy, stating that "our governors should educate themselves about the development of the technology, the mining of the coins and the programming of the "blockchains" to attract the thousands of investors that engage in this business worldwide." Shortly after moving to Dorado, influencer Logan Paul became involved into a cryptocurrency named Dink Doink, which has been labelled as a "scam" by Nasdaq. Crypto personality Amanda Cassatt and her husband Samuel relocated, as more individuals arrived from different states. However, this wave also brought individuals that did not receive Act 60 exemptions but also became involved with the community, such as Keiko Yoshino of the Puerto Rico Blockchain Trade Association. Aware that the perception of the group became increasing contentious as property prices in San Juan increased, the Puertopians began to rebrand their efforts as "more inclusive, empowering and communal", individual-owned and linked them to the advent of Web3. As such, weekly events known as CryptoCurious and Crypto Mondays are organized with the general public as their targets. Local crypto entrepreneurs such as Juan Carlos Pedreira began to capitalize.
HORPR hearings on regulation
In January 2022, Speaker Tatito Hernández of the Popular Democratic Party (PPD), who has argued in favor of employing blockchain for tasks such as fighting public corruption, revealed that the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico was investigating the topic of creating a regulatory frame for cryptocurrency. House Resolution 527 was passed with the expressed intent of studying “the concept of blockchain as a government filing system, as well as the use of digital coins (cryptocurrency) as an accepted form of payment in Puerto Rico”. Jesús Manuel Ortiz of the PPD, chair of the HORPR’s Government Comission and who has publicly endorsed cryptocurrencies as the “scaffold of the worldwide economy in the near future”, was responsible for the investigation. According to a February 2022 report, the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury has established that the acquisition of property and real estate using cryptocurrencies has become widespread in Puerto Rico. All of those involved in the hearings acknowledged that such transactions had become pervasive.
In representation of the PRDT, Ángel L. Pantoja recommend following the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines on the topic, given the political status of Puerto Rico and a lack of precedent. Natalia Zequeira, Financial Institutions Commissioner, emphasized that the volatility of cryptocurrencies had convinced banks to adopt “conservative positions” and after listing what she perceived as positives and negatives, concluded that once the regulatory framework is in place “Puerto Rico cannot fall behind. The future is all about markets, transactions and digital currency. It is imperative for us to be at the forefront of this technology”. Speaking for the Puerto Rico Bankers Association, Zoimé Álvarez argued that in order to comply with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation standards regulatory controls were required to prevent illegal activity such as “money laundering [or] terrorism financing”. Afterwards, Ortiz made it clear that he had been satisfied and anticipated that bill will be presented to regulate cryptocurrencies in the jurisdiction.
Reception
Government and politics
The Puerto Rico Department of Treasury declined to comment on the issue, recognizing that they did not have an expert in cryptocurrency at the moment, but noted a future interest in having one. The Puerto Rico Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions has seen sufficient legitimacy to approve the existence of "Digital Internacional Bank" licenses, under the interpretation of international banking laws. However, unlike other locations where banks have suppressed the use of cryptocurrency, the Puerto Rico Bankers Association notes through president Zoimé Álvarez that they did not consider themselves "enemies" and that "[cryptocurrency] is here to stay, only being concerned by the irreversible nature of payments. When first interviewed about the topic, governor Ricardo Rosselló of the conservative Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP) expressed that "there is still a lot of work to be done and giving clarity that this is not used for money laundering or it’s not used for other areas", but favored widely adopting blockchain as a "game changer". Despite being in charge of the conference (named "Puerto Crypto") where relevant legislation is to be addressed, Manuel A. Laboy Rivera Secretary of Economic Development and Commerce of Puerto Rico (DEDC), expressed a lack of knowledge about the real reach of Bitcoin within the Puerto Rican economy (despite it being recorded since the early 2010s) and speculated that some changes to the local financial regulations may be needed. When prodded about what these would involve, he states that they would revolve around fraud protection. Corporative lawyer Antonio Bauzá agreed and argued in favor of audits. In 2021, Carlos Fontan director of the invcentives program of the DEDC reaffirmed the government's assessment that the Puertopians were creating jobs.
By the time that he left office among public protests related to the Telegramgate, Rosselló was regarded as "supportive of crypto-entrepreneurial efforts " and among his final appointments was SJMX founder James Robert 'Bo' Collins to the board of Invest Puerto Rico. Wanda Vázquez Garced, who held the office for two years, increased the yearly fee paid by Act 60 beneficiaries from $300 to $5,000. Elected in 2020, PNP governor Pedro Pierluisi, who had publicly supported the tax incentives since his days as Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, resumed the favorable public policy and hosted a dinner with Pierce and cryptocurrency-friendly New York mayor Eric Adams. By 2019, the legal ramifications the topic was discussed in the University of Puerto Rico School of Law's Revista Jurídica, where Verónica S. Otero Rivera concluded that Acts 20 and 22 were designed for other types of business and that new legislation was neeeded for the model used by digital coins. In 2021, OCIF commissioner Natalia Zequeira defended that a lack for formal regulation responded to an aversion to "innovation" in entities such as FDIC. Liberal factions including the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) and Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana (MVC) have opposed the settlement of Puerto Rico by beneficiaries of Act 60, believing that it promotes displacement, with María de Lourdes Santiago presenting a bill to repel the benefits. Former gubernatorial candidate for the defunct Working People's Party, Rafael Bernabe Riefkohl, linked the influx of foreigners to the economic policies that the United States imposed following the Spanish-American War, and how they decimated the sugar industry in Puerto Rico, the subsequent implementation Operation Bootstrap and their relationship to previous migrations.
Media
The largest newspaper in Puerto Rico, El Nuevo Día, has been covering cryptocurrency topics since 2014, with articles ranging from Bitcoin adoption and local regulation to the establishment of Medici Bank. Most of these articles have been informative as opposed to investigative, with exceptions including a piece where Sharon Minelli Pérez created a profile of the "crypto enthusiasts" that had become involved since the "crypto boom" of 2017. Christian Gabriel Ramos Segarra has authored several articles about the topic for El Vocero in 2021, initially discussing the lack of formal regulation and how, in conjunction with price fluctuations of BTC, this had slowed down the widespread adoption among the general populace in Puerto Rico, citing that by this point the bulk of those involved was still in the influx of foreign traders. In another piece, he echoed the arguments of several traders including Pierce about the potential of cryptocurrency for economic development in Puerto Rico if properly regulated. When price of Bitcoin improved in 2021, Aiola Virella of Metro Puerto Rico interviewed Juan Carlos Pedreira the concept of that coin displacing traditional currency within some markets as inflation increased.
When the Puertopians first made their presence known in 2018, Rafael Lenín López of WAPA-TV began an investigation for NotiCentro, the channel's news service. In it he interviewed a number of government officials, technological experts and economists, whose reactions varied between cautious support and skepticism. Eva Lloréns Vélez of Caribbean Business wrote about the regulation that would be required before Puerto Rico could become "a crypto-paradise", citing figures that discussed the legal and banking aspects of the idea. This publication also gave general coverage of other local topics related to cryptocurrency including regulation, the proposal for a digital coin known as "Kokicoin", the relationship between Noble bank and Tether and conferences including CoinAgenda. Digital newspaper NotiCel has published several pieces on cryptocurrency, with its staff adopting differing views on the subject following an initial report on the arrival of the Puertopians and the tax incentives. Eric De León Soto has written informative pieces about crypto banking and a proposal to create an investment fund promoted by Pierce. However, Adriana De Jesús Salamán has critical about the group, noting the suspicions surrounding them and writing about the acquisition of properties in Old San Juan and the arrival of the Special Economic Zones, which she labelled as "another experiment for Puerto Rico from the crypto-community". In 2022, Jeremy Ortiz Portalatín of Telemundo Puerto Rico's (WKAQ-TV) newsservice published an investigative series where he interviewed traders and politicians within the context of the ongoing inflation of the United States Dollar, discussing the Puertopians, regulation and the Metaverse.
Abroad, journalists like Larisa Yarovaya and Brian Lucey of The Conversation have expressed concerns that the creation of Sol would result in crypto-colonialism. Mariah Espada of Time focused her coverage on the activists that opposed Act 60 beneficiaries including "crypto currency tycoons" and the perception that it fuels displacement and gentrification. Neil Strauss of Rolling Stone opted to publish a biographical article of Pierce and documented his day-to-day life as he intended "to turn Puerto Rico into a Burning Man utopia", discussing a number of personal quirks which prompt comparisons to cult leaders and hippies, but establishing his position as the de facto leader of the Puertopians. Chloe Watlington of The Baffler, disregarded the Puertopians’ proposal to build a techno-utopia as a "battery of garbled catchphrases and slogans masquerading as business plans" and linked them "old colonial scams in Puerto Rico". Mark Elwood of the New York Post wrote positively about the administration's approach to what it calls the "Puerto Crypto movement", comparing it to Singapore and arguing that it's going to "reshape Puerto Rico into America’s homegrown answer to Dubai". Samantha Bee was critical of the arrival of these traders to Puerto Rico, calling the group "tax locusts" and hosting Manuel Natal in a segment of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee titled "Tax Locusts and Blockchain Bros".
Other demographics
Upon their arrival the general populace the concept was not well understood and often compared to the Iraqi Dinar investment scam. In contrast, the idea of cryptocurrency was favored by young Puerto Ricans that are interested in technology, entrepreneurs and those involved in the creative industries. By 2018 some businesses began accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, as did individuals involved in services such as touristic taxis and Uber drivers. The first health care institution to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment in Puerto Rico was Profesional Hospital Guaynabo located in the eponymous municipality. The media attention to the topic resulted in better awareness in the following years, reaching more blue collar workers. The increase in adoption also led to cryptocurrency being used by criminals that began requesting scam payments in Bitcoin. Parallel to this, grassroots movements that oppose gentrification began to publicly oppose the arrival of the Puertopians along other beneficiaries of Act 60, led by an organization known as #AbolishAct60, which considers the acquisition of real state by these traders as a "predatory" practice as it takes place in conjunction with an ongoing migration of Puerto Ricans to Florida and other locations. The first instance took place in October 2018, when a young woman confronted Pierce while he was hosting an event named #RestartWeek. Local feminist group Taller Salud has protested Act 60 as it believes that "tax havens and inaccessible incentives for natives that have strengthened and upheld colonialism." This animosity extended to Puerto Ricans that cooperated with the group, who were referred to as "vendepatrias" (traitors) for their involvement. Amid a pattern of foreigners acquiring the increasingly expensive buildings in Old San Juan, posters depicting the Puertopians (in particular Pierce) with the caption “this is what our colonizers look like" began appearing throughout the colonial city along other beneficiaries of Act 60. Among members of the stateside Puerto Ricans, artists Liat Berdugo and Emily Martinez, collectively known as Anxious to Make, created an exhibit known as "Eternal Boy Playground" that documented the reactions of people that opposed the arrival of the first wave cryptocurrency traders as disaster capitalism. Others like Diáspora en Resistencia have been actively trying to point the attention of Congress towards the issue, both to scrutinize Act 60 beneficiaries and to pressure the local government into action.

Dietrich von Hardenberg (c. 1465 – 13 May 1526) was bishop of the Diocese of Brandenburg from 1521 to 1526.
Life
Dietrich von Hardenburg was the eldest son of Dietrich II von Hardenberg (d. 1498) and Margaret von Zaldern of the Lindau line of the Hardenberg family. He was the brother of Albrecht von Hardenberg, Heinrich von Hardenberg (d. 1561) and Jasper von Hardenberg (d. 1561).
From 1488, he was a student in Erfurt. On 14 November 1505, he issued a fief letter for Joh. Stekelen. From 31 January 1512, he was canon of Halberstadt in the service of the Brandenburg Elector Joachim I on various diplomatic missions. On 12 March 1513, he witnessed a comparison between Duke Heinrich I of Brunswick and Lüneburg and Count Johann von Holstein-Schaumburg. On 23 April 1517, Elector Joachim I was asked by a Brandenburg diplomat from Matzan to send Dietrich von Hardenberg to France as ambassador to send. In addition to working for the Elector, he was also on various missions for Bishop John IV of Hildesheim. On December 5, 1518, Bishop John IV enfeoffed him with various goods. In the spring of 1519, Dietrich von Hardenberg served twice as an envoy in the service of Elector Joachim I in Cologne, where he was to sound out the political position of Archbishop Hermann V and win him over for the election of King Franz I as emperor. At the end of 1520, he went to the French court on a diplomatic mission together with the provost of Besskow, Andreas Huth. On April 4, 1521, he arrived in Worms from Paris.
On 12 April 1521, the Brandenburg bishop Hieronymus Schulz became the new Bishop of Havelberg, and Dietrich von Hardenberg received the Bishopric of Brandenburg for his services to Elector Joachim I. On 17 May 1521, Pope Leo X transferred the episcopacy to Dietrich von Hardenberg. As bishop he proved himself to be a zealous Catholic and an enemy of the Reformation, which, however, gained a lot of ground under his episcopacy as a result of careless measures, especially in the parts of the Brandenburg diocese outside of the Kurmark territory. It is believed that he died on 13 May 1526. He was buried in Brandenburg Cathedral.

Gail Falkenberg (born January 6, 1947) is an American professional tennis player. Possibly the oldest tournament tennis player of all time, she has competed in ITF Women's World Tennis Tour tournaments as recently as 2021, aged 74.
Raised in Westfield, New Jersey, Falkenberg attended University of California, Los Angeles in the 1960s, where she played on the basketball, tennis and volleyball varsity teams and earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in filmmaking.
After graduation she worked as a documentary filmmaker and didn't join the professional tour until she was 38 years of age. She made her Virginia Slims main draw debut at the 1986 Brazilian Open and featured in qualifying at the 1988 Australian Open. Retiring from full-time tennis in 1990, she achieved a career high singles world ranking of 360.
During the 1990s she was the women's tennis head coach at the University of Central Florida and even had a season in charge of the women's basketball team as an acting coach.
Falkenberg has continued to compete on and off in ITF tournaments since the 1990s. In 2013, as a 66-year old, she came up against Naomi Osaka in the qualifying draw for the Rock Hill ITF event. Osaka, 50 years her junior, won 6–0, 6–0. She also played a professional match against the world's number one junior Taylor Townsend in 2016, which received considerable media attention. Townsend conceded only 12 points to her 69-year old opponent.
