This Life is a BBC television drama that was produced by World Productions and screened on BBC Two. Two series were broadcast in 1996 and 1997, with a later reunion special in 2007. It centres on the life of twentysomething law graduates embarking upon their careers while sharing a house in south London. Unusually for a show about lawyers, there are no courtroom scenes in either the first or second series, and only one brief scene in the TV sequel. Broadcast during the height of "Cool Britannia", the series is set in London and is notable for its Britpop soundtrack and for its depiction of casual sex and drug-taking. It became a popular word-of-mouth hit and was included on BFI's list of the 100 greatest British television programmes of all time. Production The series was created by Amy Jenkins who was also its principal writer. Other writers contributed scripts, including Joe Ahearne (who also directed some episodes—the only person to do both on the series), Ian Iqbal Rashid, Amelia Bullmore and Matthew Graham. Tony Garnett was the executive producer and Jane Fallon worked as a producer on both series. When the first series was screened it was a modest critical success. Nevertheless, the original production agreement secured a second series. In the lead-up to the broadcast of the second series, the entire first series was repeated, helping to generate a critical buzz around the programme, to the point that millions of viewers were waiting to discover the ultimate resolutions to the various plot-lines and generating front-page newspaper coverage. Broadcasts The original run of the first series in 1996 was neither a critical nor a ratings success. It was only its repeat run, from 2 January 1997, that really began to attract serious viewer attention. This ran smoothly into the start of the second series, from Monday 17 March 1997, restored to its peak-time slot, by which time it was attracting praise as a cult hit. By the time the second series ended, the show was attracting strong audience figures of around four million, and became a national talking point, making headlines in both tabloid and broadsheet newspapers. Both of the series were then repeated late-night from 12 June to 2 August 2000 (each episode was shown twice during the first run). Another screening of the first series was shown on Sunday evenings between 30 March and 13 July 2003. As a run in to the reunion the BBC repeated every episode, two each night Monday to Thursday, starting 6 November 2006, on BBC Two. From 3 February 2020, series one of This Life was repeated on BBC4, carrying a dedication to its executive producer Tony Garnett who had died aged 83 during the previous month. Locations The opening scenes show the house as being on Benjamin Street, which is in EC1 in Clerkenwell. However, the building is actually Anchor Terrace, a terraced house on Southwark Bridge Road. As the characters are often seen commuting from South London it is unclear why the Benjamin Street sign was filmed. The house has since been converted into luxury flats. The law firm's offices were filmed on High Holborn near the junction with Chancery Lane. The waiting room in which Egg's first interview takes place is in Norwich Street at the City law firm Macfarlanes. The location for external shots of Moore Spencer Wright is at the bottom end of Borough High Street, now the FTC Kaplan offices. The barristers’ chambers external shots were filmed outside Verulam Buildings on Gray's Inn Road, part of Gray's Inn; the interior scenes were filmed in the Anchor Terrace house (see above). The cafe that Egg works in, and later runs, is on Victoria Road in North Acton next to the Tube station. The cafe where the characters are often seen having lunch was just further down Southwark Bridge Road from the Anchor Terrace house (on the same side). It was called the Island Cafe. The job centre Egg visits is on Borough High Street, Southwark, London. Miles's country house in the 2007 reunion (Whithurst Park in Sussex) is the same location used in the first episode of the first series of Lewis, "To Whom the Gods Would Destroy". Episodes Series one (1996) This Life is based around life in a London law firm and barristers' chambers of trainee solicitors and pupil barristers, but is essentially a character-driven drama. Egg and Milly have been dating since they were at university, but their career choices create tension between them. Conscientious Milly is ambitious, spending a lot of time working with her older boss Mr O'Donnell. Egg suffers a crisis of dissatisfaction with a career in law, and soon resigns from the firm. Anna and Miles had a brief fling at university, and Anna is fixated on the indifferent Miles. Their love–hate relationship makes their work and home life frequently tense. The other house-mate Warren is a gay man. He spends some time dealing with issues around his sexuality, especially in relation to "coming out" to friends and family. In an unusual (at the time) plot device he is frequently seen discussing his feelings with a therapist who is heard and only rarely seen by the viewer. Miles appears sometimes to dislike Warren, and subjects him to occasional homophobic abuse when angered. Miles's manipulative girlfriend, the drug addicted and bulimic Delilah, moves in with him. This results in conflict in the house. When Miles, who has not been practising safe sex with Delilah, discovers that she is still sleeping with her heroin addict ex, Truelove, he has an HIV scare. Milly clashes with Egg over his perceived lack of ambition, and becomes attracted to O'Donnell. Series two (1997) During the second series, storylines were expanded to include other connected characters. These included Ferdy (Ramon Tikaram) - Warren's boyfriend briefly, Rachel (Natasha Little) - new junior trainee at Milly's law firm and Francesca - Miles's girlfriend/fiancée - whilst previously secondary-characters Jo (Steve John Shepherd) and Warren's cousin, Kira (Luisa Bradshaw-White) feature more heavily as they embarked upon a relationship. Moore, Spencer, Wright Receptionist Kelly (Sacha Craise) also became much more prominent and a close ally of Kira. Ferdy was a largely improvised, complex (and sometimes unwilling) bisexual character and was seen as a replacement for Warren when Jason Hughes decided to leave the show (he did return for the final scene). Finding a relationship with Anna impossible, Miles began a relationship with Francesca, a woman nearly a decade older than he was. Miles proposed to Francesca, but still harboured feelings for Anna. Rachel had a long-running passive-aggressive feud with Milly, although on the surface the pair were able to work together without mention of their mutual dislike. Milly's dislike of Rachel was very strong, viewing her as a threat to her relationship with O'Donnell, and disliking her apparently perfect demeanour. Milly confided in Anna that she found Rachel almost suffocatingly "nice". The tension between the two went unresolved throughout the second series, culminating in the final scene, in the episode "Apocalypse Wow!". At Miles and Francesca's wedding reception, after Milly learns that Rachel has told Egg of her affair with O'Donnell, Milly punches Rachel in the face. This Life + 10 (2006) In 2006, the BBC reconvened the original cast for a special one-off 80-minute special, looking at what had happened to the lead characters in the intervening ten years. The episode begins with the original five housemates reuniting for Ferdy's funeral. Milly and Egg are together, though not married, and have had a young son but Miles is divorced from Francesca and has a new Vietnamese wife, Me Linh. The circumstances of both Ferdy's death and Miles' divorce are not revealed. This new episode was entitled + 10 onscreen, and kept the original title sequence and programme title This Life. It was screened on 2 January 2007, and was a co-production between BBC Wales and the original producers World Productions. This Life + 10 was written by Jenkins, directed by Ahearne and produced by Garnett. It gained 3.5 million viewers, with a 14% audience share. Cast Miles Stewart, played by Jack Davenport Djamila "Milly" Nassim, played by Amita Dhiri Edgar "Egg" Cooke, played by Andrew Lincoln Anna Forbes, played by Daniela Nardini Warren Jones, played by Jason Hughes Ferdinand "Ferdy" Garcia, played by Ramon Tikaram Michael O'Donnell, played by David Mallinson Kira, played by Luisa Bradshaw-White Jo, played by Steve John Shepherd Rachel, played by Natasha Little Nicki, played by Juliet Cowan Kelly, played by Sacha Craise Graham, played by Cyril Nri Hooperman, played by Geoffrey Bateman Therapist, played by Gillian McCutcheon Lenny, played by Tony Curran Jerry Cooke, played by Paul Copley Dale Jones, played by Mark Lewis Jones Francesca, played by Rachel Fielding Montgomery, played by Michael Elwyn Sarah Newly, played by Clare Clifford Delilah, played by Charlotte Bicknell Truelove, played by Keith-Lee Castle Paul, played by Paul J Medford The Office and Sherlock star Martin Freeman appears in the first episode of the second series. Ralph Ineson, also from The Office featured in an early episode as a client of Milly, as the character Jessop. EastEnders actor Nitin Ganatra, appeared in an episode of the second series playing a prospective housemate. Martin Hancock, who went on to star in Holby City appeared in the second series. Clare Clifford, played lesbian lawyer Sarah Newly who propositions Anna in the second series. Stuart Organ, best known as Mr Robson in Grange Hill appeared in the first series. Music A then largely unknown Ricky Gervais, partner of producer Jane Fallon, was credited as "Music Advisor" for the series, and commissioned the theme tune written by The Way Out. In 2000 BBC Music issued a compilation CD featuring the theme tune and songs from the 1990s by bands including: Blur, The Charlatans, The Lightning Seeds, Pulp, Jamiroquai, Manic Street Preachers, Suede, Oasis, The Divine Comedy, Everything but the Girl, New Order, Skunk Anansie, The Clash, Happy Mondays, The Prodigy and Supergrass. Legacy The second series ended with a close-up of an advert for the house, and the original intention was to re-cast with new characters. The controversial stage writer Mark Ravenhill was involved in drafting storylines and early scripts for a third series, but the plans were aborted, and the decision was taken to end the programme "on a high". In 1998, Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish parodied This Life in their sketch show The Adam and Joe Show In 2001, NBC Television broadcast a loosely adapted US remake titled First Years. It attracted scathing reviews and low ratings. The young production team behind This Life went on to further success: Jane Fallon went on to become Executive Producer on the Channel 4 series Teachers which also starred Andrew Lincoln. Joe Ahearne later went on to write and direct the cult Channel 4 series Ultraviolet (1998) which also starred Jack Davenport. He also directed episodes of the first series of the revived Doctor Who in 2005. Matthew Graham co-created the BBC One series Life on Mars (2006) and has written episodes of Hustle, Spooks and an episode of Doctor Who in 2006. Ian Iqbal Rashid went on to write and direct the feature films Touch of Pink (Sony Picture Classics, 2004) and How She Move (Paramount Vantage, 2008).

641 Agnes, provisional designation , is a stony Florian asteroid and slow rotator from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 9 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 8 September 1907, by German astronomer Max Wolf at Heidelberg Observatory in southern Germany. The meaning of the asteroids's name is unknown. Classification and orbit Agnes is a stony S-type asteroid and a member of the Flora family, one of the largest groups of stony asteroids in the asteroid belt. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.5 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,208 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with a recovered observation at Vienna Observatory, one month after its official discovery observation at Heidelberg. Physical characteristics Rotation period In March 1975, photometric observations by Swedish astronomer Claes-Ingvar Lagerkvist measured a period of 8.9 hours for Agnes. The lightcurve, however, was fragmentary and the result uncertain (). In October 2013, the first reliable rotational lightcurve of Agnes was obtained by astronomers Frederick Pilcher, Lorenzo Franco and Luis Martinez at Organ Mesa and Balzaretto Observatory respectively. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 178.0 hours with a brightness variation of 0.55 magnitude (). The team also assumed a standard albedo for stony S-type asteroids of 0.20, calculated an absolute magnitude of 12.64, estimated a mean diameter of kilometers, and measured a V–R color index of 0.50. With such a long rotation period, Agnes is a slow rotator, of which a few hundred minor planets are currently known. Diameter and albedo According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Agnes measures between 8.26 and 9.74 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has an albedo between 0.21 and 0.30. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by Pilcher, and calculates a diameter of 8.81 kilometers. Naming Any reference of this minor planet's name to a person or occurrence is unknown. Unknown meaning Among the many thousands of named minor planets, Agnes is one of 120 asteroids, for which no official naming citation has been published. All of these low-numbered asteroids have numbers between and and were discovered between 1876 and the 1930s, predominantly by astronomers Auguste Charlois, Johann Palisa, Max Wolf and Karl Reinmuth (also see category).

"Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" is a song written by Stephen Stills and performed by Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN). It appeared on the group's self-titled debut album in 1969 and was released as a single, reaching #21 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart. In Canada, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" peaked at number 11. The song is a suite in the classical sense, i.e. an ordered set of musical pieces. Background The title "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" (a play on words for "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes") refers to Stephen Stills' former girlfriend, singer/songwriter Judy Collins, and the lyrics to most of the suite's sections consist of his thoughts about her and their imminent breakup. Collins is known for her piercing blue eyes. During a July 15, 2007 interview for the National Public Radio program All Things Considered, Stills revealed that Collins was present in the studio when the demo tapes were recorded and had advised him, "Don't stay in here [in the studio] all night now." Stills also commented that the breakup with Collins "was imminent. ... We were just a little too big for one house." Stills said that he liked parts of this demo version of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" better than the released version; the song and other demos of early Crosby, Stills and Nash songs were released commercially on the album Just Roll Tape. Collins and Stills had met in 1967 and dated for two years. In 1969, she was appearing in the New York Shakespeare Festival musical production of Peer Gynt and had fallen in love with her co-star Stacy Keach, eventually leaving Stills for him. Stills was devastated by the possible breakup and wrote the song as a response to his sadness. In a 2000 interview, Collins gave her impressions of when she first heard the song: Composition The recording features an acoustic guitar tuned to EEEEBE ("Bruce Palmer Modal Tuning") vs. the standard EADGBE tuning. This style of tuning would later be used for the Déjà Vu songs "4+20" and "Carry On". "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" has four distinct sections. The timings below are for the full album version. The shortened version released as a single cut the second and fourth verses from the first section, the third and fourth verses from the second section, and the final verse and preceding break from the third section, and shortened the guitar break between the second and the third sections. The final section is the only part that stayed fully intact on the single. The first section is a traditional pop song with four verses, featuring a chorus of "I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are." Running at approximately 2:56, the lead vocal is performed by Stills, with Crosby and Nash providing harmonies. The second section is performed in half time relative to the first section, and features four verses of three-part harmony from the band, with Stills performing a brief vocal solo between the second and third. This section runs from 2:56 to 4:43. The third section is more upbeat and features poetic lyrics ("chestnut brown canary, ruby-throated sparrow"), lasting from 4:43 to 6:25. Each of the three phrases is initially sung by Stills, with Nash then joining, and finally Crosby rounding out the harmonies. Connecting the phrases are instrumental breaks performed by Stills on acoustic guitar. The final section (the coda) is sung in Spanish, with "doo-doo-doo-da-doo" backing vocals, starting at 6:34 until the song concludes. Stills has said that he intentionally made the final stanzas unexpected and difficult, even using a foreign language for the lyrics, "just to make sure nobody would understand it" (not even Spanish speaking people). The final section has been parodied many times, notably in Frank Zappa's compositions "Billy the Mountain" and "Magdalena" on The Mothers of Invention's album Just Another Band From L.A. "Weird Al" Yankovic performs a takeoff of it ("Mission Statement") on his 2014 album Mandatory Fun; instead of Spanish, the lyrics are corporate buzzwords strung together in such a way as to be ultimately nonsensical. It is also sampled in the 2010 Cypress Hill song "Armada Latina". Live performances The final section of the song is included on the CSNY live album 4 Way Street. It fades in on the opening of side one of the album. CSN also performed "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" as their opening song at the Woodstock and Live Aid festivals, and their performance at the former is featured in the film Woodstock (1970). Critical reception Writing for The New York Times in 1969, Robert Christgau believed that while "Stills has become such a sophisticated guitarist that many of his lines lack any straight-on rhythmic compulsion", his "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" is "a structural triumph which could never have been brought off by a more Dionysiac spirit." "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" was named the 51st greatest song ever in a 2000 list by VH1. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number 418 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was also included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs That Shaped Rock & Roll".

The Château Pastré, formerly known as the Chateau de Montredon, is a nineteenth-century building in the suburb of Montredon to the south of Marseille, France. Originally the property of a wealthy merchant family, as of 2012 it housed the Faïence pottery museum, the Musée de la Faïence de Marseille. The grounds of the chateau are a public park. Foundation Eugène Pastré (1806–1868) and his wife Céline de Beaulincourt-Marle (1825-1900) belonged to a wealthy family of Marseille shipowners and merchants. Between 1836 and 1853 the Pastré family accumulated of land between Pointe Rouge and the Grotte Rolland in the south of Marseille, which they made into a park. The natural vegetation would have been scrub, Aleppo pines, oaks, laurel and juniper. Before the Canal de Marseille was constructed to this point, the family had to go to great lengths to obtain water, with which they irrigated and created lawns in the lower levels with gardens of vines, cereals and orchards of almonds, figs and apricot. The Pastrés had three large houses built in the park between 1845 and 1865: the Château Estrangin, Château Pastré and Château Sanderval. Building The Parisian architect Jean-Charles Danjoy designed the Château Pastré, the largest of the buildings, completed in 1862. The three-story building was designed to meet the needs of its owners for a place where they could hold entertainments for many people. The Nouvelle Revue in its gossip section Chronique de L'Élégance in 1884 described a play being presented at the home of Mme Pastre. The chateau is located between the hills of Marseilleveyre and the Mediterranean Sea, with large windows looking out over the park. The exterior design is elegant and warm. Jean Danjoy chose to design a reinterpretation of a building from the Louis XIII period. In the facade he blended bricks from Marseille with blonde stone from Arles. These meet in rhythmic curves and counter-curves. Past residents Eugène and Céline's son Ange André Pastré (1856-1926) was made a Roman Count. He married Claire Goldschmidt around 1885, and they had four children: Odette, Diane (1888-1971), Jean André and Louis. Jean Pastré was born on 2 December 1888 in Marseille, and inherited the title of "Count". In 1918 he married Louise (Lily) Double. The couple had three children. Jean Pastré played on France's polo team in the 1924 Summer Olympic games. He died in Paris on 29 June 1960 at the age of 71. Their daughter Nadia Pastré helped in the escape lines for Allied prisoners during World War II. Countess Lily Pastré was born Louise Double de Saint Lambert in 1891. Her mother Véra Magnan was partly Russian, and was granddaughter of Bernard Pierre Magnan, a Marshal of France. Her father was Paul Double (1868-1935), son of Léon Double and Marie Prat (1849-1939). Marie Prat was the daughter of Claudius Prat (1814-1859), the co-founder of Noilly Prat. Countess Lily Pastre inherited the Noilly Prat vermouth fortune. After Countess Lily and Jean Pastré divorced in 1940, she continued to live at the Chateau de Montredon. She turned it into a refuge for artists fleeing the Nazi regime in occupied France, of whom many were Jewish. Lily Pastré remained on good terms with the authorities, and invited them to concerts that she arranged at the chateau. At the same time, she was sheltering Jewish composers and musicians, of whom perhaps forty stayed at the chateau at different times. Norbert Glanzberg, who played piano for Édith Piaf, was hidden at the chateau at the singer's request. The Spanish cellist Pablo Casals and the American entertainer Josephine Baker both stayed at the chateau for a while, as did the pianist Clara Haskil. On 27 July 1942 Pastre arranged for a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the chateau. A young Christian Dior made the costumes from the draperies of the chateau. The Orchèstre National de la Radiodiffusion Française, conducted by Manuel Rosenthal, provided music. The Germans occupied part of the chateau when they took over the south of France. They arrested and killed some of the guests found at the chateau. After the war, Countess Lily contributed to the foundation of the Aix-en-Provence Festival of music and arts. She died in 1974, having spent her entire fortune helping others, much of it during the war. Recent years Between 1966 and 1987, the city of Marseille bought almost all of the property, including the Château Pastré, Château Sanderval and the bastide Clary. It had the Château Pastré carefully restored. Since May 1995, it has housed the Faïence Museum, and displays more than 1,500 pieces crafted during a period spanning more than 7000 years. Marseille has been chosen as the "European cultural capital" for 2013. As part of the preparation for this, the government plans to transfer the Faïence Museum to the Château Borély, which will be adapted for the planned Museum of Decorative Arts and Fashion. The grounds are now a public park commonly known as the Campagne Pastré. Of this, are formally laid out with lawns, woods and two artificial lakes, while have more natural vegetation. The central avenue from the entrance to the chateau is over long. Apart from the lakes, the park includes playgrounds, canal areas and hiking trails. The gardens are decorated with statues. From a steep hill, visitors have views of Marseille. The entire forested area of the park is part of the Calanques World Heritage Site.

Butch and Sundance: The Early Days is a 1979 Western film and prequel of sorts to the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It stars Tom Berenger as Butch Cassidy and William Katt as the Sundance Kid. It was directed by Richard Lester and written by Allan Burns. It generally received mixed reviews but was nominated for an Oscar for Best Costume Design. Plot In Wyoming, wannabe outlaw Butch Cassidy joins forces with sharpshooter Harry Longabaugh (who renames himself the Sundance Kid) and they carry out a series of robberies. However, Butch is stalked by a member of his former gang, O.C. Hanks, who believes he betrayed the gang. The two spend the winter in Telluride until they hear O.C. is in town, then rush away to deliver diphtheria serum to snowbound farms and become heroes. O.C. ambushes them and wounds Sundance by mistake. He recovers in Butch's home, tended by Butch's wife Mary and their two sons, who don't know their father's real job (he takes up butchery to earn money). O.C. turns up for a showdown and Sundance unintentionally kills him. Returning to crime, the pair rob a bank and then decide to rob a money train guarded by cavalry, not knowing Butch has been promised an amnesty if he gives up crime.

Hanks Christopher Lloyd as Bill Tod Carver Jill Eikenberry as Mary Parker Joel Fluellen as Jack Regina Baff as Ruby Peter Brocco as Old Robber Vincent Schiavelli as Guard Hugh Gillin as Cyrus Antoon Sherril Lynn Rettino as Annie Elya Baskin as Book-keeper Production Allan Burns worked on the script with William Goldman, who was on board as executive producer; Goldman added some scenes and moments he wanted to introduce in the first movie but the bulk of the script was Burns'. William Katt had recently made First Love and was being called "a young Robert Redford" so ended up being cast as Sundance. Tom Berenger was cast after the studio were impressed by his performance in Looking for Mr Goodbar. Jeff Corey, portraying Sheriff Bledsoe, was the only actor to reprise his role from the original 1969 film. Director Richard Lester stated he had never seen the first movie. Reception Critical response Roger Ebert gave the film 2.5 stars out of 4 and said it was "technically fine ... But as we listen to the freewheeling dialog, as we watch young Butch and the Kid blunder through their first adventures and finesse their later ones, there's a nagging question bouncing about in the backs of our heads: Why are we in this theater at this time? Did we want to know about the early days? Now that we're here, does the movie make us care? Not really." Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune also gave it 2.5 stars, writing that "Fox succeeded in getting the actors but failed to provide them with a really fine script. Which is not to say that 'Butch and Sundance: The Early Days' is a bad picture. On the contrary, it's pleasant enough, but that's about all." Vincent Canby of The New York Times called the film "so lifeless it's almost creepy ... You can't believe that Mr. Lester was in the same continent when it was made." Of the two leads Canby said, "There's nothing remarkably wrong about their performances but, for one reason or another, there's absolutely no rapport between them." Variety wrote, "Tom Berenger and William Katt acquit themselves admirably, but simply can't compete with the ghosts of two superstars ... There are some patented Lester hijinks in the first half-hour of the prequel, but these peter out surprisingly soon. What's left is a mishmash of effective stuntwork and visuals, and a story line that moseys along with little suspense or excitement." Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called the film "pleasant though slight." Gary Arnold of The Washington Post declared it "the first attractive Western to mosey across the screen in several years. Not a great or even rousing Western, but at least a pleasant, warmly evocative one, beautifully visualized and incidentally enjoyable for its settings, texture, droll tone and sometimes amusing interplay of characters." The film reportedly lost $4 million. "It was a terrible movie," said a retired Fox executive. "It was a parody of a satire and it was filmed by talentless people. Naturally it bombed.... It takes a lot of money to produce a western. It has to be shot on location. You need horses, a period town, costumes and other paraphernalia that a contemporary film such as 'Kramer vs. Kramer' doesn't require. That's why studios are reluctant to finance them." Release A DVD of the film was released by Anchor Bay Entertainment in February 2005. However, Anchor Bay has since lost distribution rights to the film and the DVD was forced to go out of print. Shout! Factory acquired the rights to the film and released it on DVD as a double billing with Death Hunt on February 1, 2011. It is currently available on BLU-RAY through Timeless Media Group.

In centrifugation the clearing factor or k factor represents the relative pelleting efficiency of a given centrifuge rotor at maximum rotation speed. It can be used to estimate the time (in hours) required for sedimentation of a fraction with a known sedimentation coefficient (in svedbergs): The value of the clearing factor depends on the maximum angular velocity of a centrifuge (in rad/s) and the minimum and maximum radius of the rotor: As the rotational speed of a centrifuge is usually specified in RPM, the following formula is often used for convenience: Centrifuge manufacturers usually specify the minimum, maximum and average radius of a rotor, as well as the factor of a centrifuge-rotor combination. For runs with a rotational speed lower than the maximum rotor-speed, the factor has to be adjusted: 2 The K-factor is related to the sedimentation coefficient by the formula: Where is the time to pellet a certain particle in hours. Since is a constant for a certain particle, this relationship can be used to interconvert between different rotors. Where is the time to pellet in one rotor, and is the K-factor of that rotor. is the K-factor of the other rotor, and , the time to pellet in the other rotor, can be calculated. In this manner, one does not need access to the exact rotor cited in a protocol, as long as the K-factor can be calculated. Many online calculators are available to perform the calculations for common rotors.

Dan D. Hall (born April 16, 1952) is a Minnesota politician and member of the Minnesota Senate. A member of the Republican Party of Minnesota, he represents District 56, which includes portions of the cities of Burnsville, Savage and Lakeville in Dakota and Scott counties in the southern Twin Cities metropolitan area. Early life, education, and career Hall was born and raised in Minneapolis. He graduated from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, then went on to Augsburg College, also in Minneapolis, where he majored in health and physical education, and where he was a hockey All-American. He is vice president of Business Relations with JUX Law Firm and the former CEO of Midwest Chaplains, a former director of the Minneapolis YMCA, and a former Christian school principal. Minnesota Senate Hall was first elected in 2010 and was re-elected in 2012. His special legislative concerns include jobs, taxes, the budget, and education. In 2014, Hall opposed the Women's Economic Security Act, legislation requiring contractors to pay women equally, saying "I will not stand here and vote for a bill that promotes one gender over another." Personal life Active in his community, Hall is a volunteer chaplain for the Burnsville Police and Fire departments, a youth hockey, soccer, volleyball and softball coach, an Open Arms food shelf volunteer coordinator, a youth hockey camp volunteer, and a YMCA Youth in Government volunteer advisor. He was also a chaplain at the Minnesota State Capitol and a volunteer chaplain after the I-35W bridge collapse. Criticism According to Hall, Hall has attracted significant criticism in regards to his opposition to the legalization of gay marriage in Minnesota, saying "I can't tell you how many letters I've gotten that said, 'you're a bigot,' or tweets 'you're a bigot because you disagree,'" Hall said. "Really? Really? I'm trying to be a nice guy but I have a different opinion. So now you're labeling me, name-calling me." Comments on education In April 2011, Hall criticized government-mandated integration and segregation, saying "I watched Minneapolis get destroyed, so I not only didn’t want my kids in the school system. I took them out of Minneapolis because they ruined our neighborhoods with integration and segregation." Hall's statements were made in an effort to reduce schools' emphasis on race and increase their emphasis on literacy for students of all backgrounds. "I am a product of the Minneapolis school system," he explained, "completing all of my years, all the different schools. I graduated with a 6th grade reading ability. I struggled my whole life. We need to teach kids how to read" Hall agrees with the Minnesota's Office of the Legislative Auditor's report which found that the Integration Revenue funding formula has some unintended and potentially negative consequences.

Ichabod and Me is an American sitcom series set in a small New England town and starring Robert Sterling and George Chandler. It aired on CBS from September 26, 1961 to June 5, 1962, and was produced by Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, in association with Jack Benny's "JaMco Productions". Cast and characters The storyline features Sterling in the role of 44-year-old Robert "Bob" Major, a widower and newspaper reporter from New York City who moves to the fictional town of Phippsboro to purchase and edit the local paper, The Bulletin. Chandler plays the 63-year-old meddlesome former editor, Ichabod Adams, who has become the municipal traffic commissioner but keeps an eye on Sterling to make sure that the newspaper meets specifications. At the time of his "Ichabod" role, Chandler was also the president of the Screen Actors Guild. In addition to the two main leads, the cast includes Reta Shaw as Aunt Lavinia, Bob's housekeeper; Christine White as Abigail Adams, Ichabod's daughter and Bob's girlfriend; Jimmy Mathers, the younger brother of Leave It to Beaver'''s Jerry Mathers, as Benjie, Bob's six-year-old son; Jimmy Hawkins, also a semi-regular on The Donna Reed Show and later Petticoat Junction, as Jonathan Baylor; Burt Mustin, Gus the Fireman on Leave It to Beaver, as Olaf; and Forrest Lewis as Colby. Episodes Overview The pilot, titled "Adam's Apples", was broadcast on April 24, 1960 on CBS's General Electric Theater with Ronald Reagan. The episodes shown that season were "Ichabod's Niece", "The Phippsboro Story", "The Old Stowe Road" (with Mary Treen), "Ichabod's Romance", "Bob's Housekeeper", "A Letter from Juliet", "Teenage Journalist", "Parking Problems", "Bob's Redhead" (with Merry Anders), "Election Fever", "Jonathan's Romance", "The Purple Cow", and "Big Business". Notably, Rod Serling appears as Eugene Hollinfield in the episode "The Celebrity", which was shown on March 20, 1962. Summer rebroadcasts continued until September 16. The series ran at 9:30 Eastern on Tuesday in a favorable time slot sandwiched between The Red Skelton Show and The Garry Moore Show, both in the Top 15. At the end of each Skelton broadcast, George Chandler urged viewers to stay tuned to Ichabod and Me. Yet viewers left CBS for that half-hour in droves, as Ichabod and Me failed to develop a loyal audience. The competition for Ichabod and Me was not considered formidable. It consisted of the second half of the Leslie Nielsen police drama The New Breed on ABC (until November 14, when The New Breed moved to 8:30 PM and Bert Parks' game show Yours for a Song began airing at 9:30 Eastern), and the second half of The Dick Powell Show, an anthology series on NBC. Ichabod and Me'' was co-sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company and P. Lorillard Tobacco Company.

John Patrick O'Neill (February 6, 1952September 11, 2001) was an American counter-terrorism expert, who worked as a special agent and eventually a Special Agent in Charge in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 1995, O'Neill began to intensely study the roots of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing after he assisted in the capture of Ramzi Yousef, who was the leader of that plot. He subsequently learned of al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, and investigated the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia and the 2000 USS Cole bombing in Yemen. Partly due to personal friction he had within the FBI and federal government, O'Neill was pushed out of the Bureau in 2001. He became the head of security at the World Trade Center, where he died at age 49 while helping to evacuate the North Tower during the September 11, 2001 attacks. O'Neill has been featured in a number of documentaries and books. Early life O'Neill was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey on February 6, 1952 and desired to become an FBI special agent from an early age. As a child, his favorite television show was The F.B.I., a crime drama based around true cases the bureau had handled. In 1971, after graduating from Holy Spirit High School, he enrolled in American University in Washington, D.C.. While there, O'Neill also started working at the FBI's Washington headquarters, first as a fingerprint clerk and later as a tour guide. He graduated with a degree in administration of justice from American University in 1974 and later obtained a master's degree in forensics from George Washington University. Career 1976–95 The FBI hired O'Neill as an agent in 1976. Over the next 15 years, O'Neill worked on issues such as white-collar crime, organized crime, and foreign counterintelligence while based at the Washington bureau. In 1991, he received an important promotion and was moved to the FBI's Chicago field office where he was assistant special agent in charge. While there, he established the Fugitive Task Force in an effort to promote inter-agency cooperation and enhance ties between the FBI and local law enforcement. In 1994, O'Neill also became supervisor of VAPCON, a task force investigating abortion clinic bombings. 1995–99 In 1995, he returned to the FBI's Washington, D.C. headquarters and became chief of the counter-terrorism section. On his first day, he received a call from his friend Richard Clarke, who had just learned that Ramzi Yousef had been located in Pakistan. O'Neill worked continuously over the next few days to gather information and coordinate the successful capture and extradition of Yousef. Intrigued by the case, O'Neill continued to study the 1993 bombing Yousef had masterminded and other information about Islamic militants. He was directly involved in the investigation into the June 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, which took place during a retreat O'Neill had organized in Quantico for FBI and CIA counter-terrorism agents. Frustrated by the level of cooperation from the Saudis, O'Neill purportedly vented to FBI Director Louis Freeh, saying they were "blowing smoke up your ass," although Freeh later denied this, claiming they had an excellent relationship. In 1996 and 1997, O'Neill continued to warn of growing threats of terrorism, saying that modern groups are not supported by governments and that there are terrorist cells operating within the United States. He stated that veterans of the insurgency by Afghan rebels against the Soviet Union's invasion had become a major threat. In January 1997, he moved to New York City to be Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's National Security Division, the FBI's "largest and most prestigious field office". By 1998, O'Neill had become focused on Osama bin Laden and created an al Qaeda desk in his division. In August 1998, two United States embassies were bombed in quick succession in simultaneous attacks in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. O'Neill hoped to be involved in the investigation because he had gained a tremendous knowledge of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terrorist network. O'Neill persuaded FBI Director Freeh to let his office handle the case, and prosecutor Mary Jo White later said, "John O'Neill, in the investigation of the bombings of our embassies in East Africa, created the template for successful investigations of international terrorism around the world." When his friend Chris Isham, a producer for ABC News, arranged for an interview between bin Laden and correspondent John Miller, Isham and Miller used information put together by O'Neill to formulate the questions. After the interview aired, O'Neill pushed Isham hard to release an unedited version so he could carefully dissect it. O'Neill's rise through the ranks at the bureau began to slow as his personal style chafed others, and he made a few slip-ups by losing a bureau cell phone and PalmPilot, improperly borrowing a car from a safe house, and losing track of a briefcase with sensitive documents for a short period. He was a Catholic, married with two children, but separated from his wife; his family continued to live in Atlantic City, and he supported them financially and paid the mortgage on their house. According to Lawrence Wright (in The Looming Tower), during the 1990s O'Neill was involved simultaneously in extramarital relationships with three named women, each of whom he had told either that he was not married or that he was divorced, and that he planned to marry her. He was officially reprimanded and docked 15 days' pay in summer 1999 over the incident involving the safe house, because he had allowed his girlfriend to enter it. His lifestyle, which involved frequently giving gifts to his girlfriends and lavish expenditures with his colleagues, resulted in substantial credit card debts which he found difficult to manage on his salary, and consequently, he borrowed substantial sums from wealthy friends. In 1999, O'Neill sent a close associate named Mark Rossini to work in the CIA's Bin Laden Issue Station in Virginia. O'Neill had a conflict with the CIA station chief Michael Scheuer: O'Neill wanted Rossini to stay at the station and feed him information about what the CIA was doing, while Rich Blee, who had been appointed by CIA chief George Tenet to head of the Bin Laden Issue Station, wanted Rossini out working in the field. Later, when the CIA Bin Laden station learned that Bin Laden's associates Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar were headed to the US with visas, Rossini and his colleague Doug Miller attempted to alert O'Neill, but Blee blocked the message. Mihdhar and Hazmi became two of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77 on 9/11. Following the December 1999 arrest of Ahmed Ressam, O'Neill co-ordinated the investigation into the 2000 millennium attack plots, described by Richard Clarke as "the most comprehensive investigation ever conducted before September 11th." 2000 After being passed over for multiple promotions (to assistant director in charge of national security in 1999 and head of the FBI's New York office in early 2000), O'Neill was pleased to be assigned as commander of the FBI's investigation into the USS Cole bombing in October 2000. However, upon arriving in Yemen, he complained about inadequate security. As his team investigated, O'Neill came into conflict with Barbara Bodine, the U.S. ambassador to Yemen. The two had widely divergent views on how to handle searches of Yemeni property, and interviews with citizens and government officials, and they only grew further apart as time progressed. After two months in Yemen, O'Neill returned to New York. He hoped to go back to Yemen to continue the investigation, but was blocked by Bodine and others; the dispute made the US press. Following threats against the remaining FBI investigators, FBI Director Freeh withdrew the team, on O'Neill's recommendation, in June 2001. Retirement In early 2001, Richard A. Clarke, the National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism wanted to move to another position; he insisted O'Neill was the best person to replace him. O'Neill proved reluctant, not least because of the relatively low salary. When O'Neill heard of upcoming leaks to The New York Times about the May 2000 incident in which his briefcase had been stolen, he decided to retire from the bureau and take a higher-paying job in the private sector, as chief of security at the World Trade Center. An August 19, 2001, The New York Times report by James Risen and David Johnston suggested that O'Neill had been the subject of an "internal investigation" at the FBI because O'Neill was responsible for losing a briefcase with "highly classified information" in it, including among other things "a description of every counterespionage and counterterrorism program in New York." The briefcase was recovered shortly after its disappearance. The FBI investigation was reported to have concluded that the briefcase had been snatched by local thieves involved in a series of hotel burglaries and that none of the documents had been removed or even touched. Several people came to O'Neill's defense, suggesting that he was the subject of a "smear campaign". One of O'Neill's associates claimed later that O'Neill believed the source for the Times story was FBI official Thomas J. Pickard. The Times reported that O'Neill was expected to retire in late August. O'Neill has been described as having a close working relationship with Ali Soufan. O'Neill started his new job at the World Trade Center on August 23, 2001. In late August, he talked to his friend Chris Isham about the job. Jokingly, Isham said, "At least they're not going to bomb it again" (a reference to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing). O'Neill replied, "They'll probably try to finish the job." Death O'Neill was killed on September 11, 2001, and his remains were recovered from the World Trade Center site on Friday, September 21, 2001. According to eyewitnesses, O'Neill was coordinating the evacuation efforts on one of the top floors with disregard to the threat to his own life; he was last seen on the 49th floor shortly before the South Tower collapsed. He is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Mays Landing, New Jersey. At the National 9/11 Memorial, O'Neill is memorialized at the North Pool, on Panel N-63.

Grettis saga Ásmundarsonar () (also known as Grettla, Grettir's Saga or The Saga of Grettir the Strong) is one of the Icelanders' sagas. It details the life of Grettir Ásmundarson, a bellicose Icelandic outlaw. Overview Grettir's saga is considered one of the Sagas of Icelanders (Íslendingasögur), which were written down in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and record stories of events that supposedly took place between the ninth and the eleventh centuries in Iceland. The manuscript of Grettir's saga was written down some time just before 1400, making it a late addition to the tradition. The author is unknown but it is believed that his story may have been based on a previous account of Grettir's life written by Sturla Þórðarson. Whoever the author was, the author shows an awareness of the Sagas of Icelanders tradition by making references to other sagas and borrowing themes from the larger cultural milieu of the Germanic peoples that appear independently in other texts like the Old English Beowulf. The saga can be split into three major sections: Chapters 1-13, Chapters 14-85, and Chapters 86-93. The first and last sections of the saga focus on Grettir's family rather than on Grettir. Chapters 1-13 primarily focus on how Grettir’s viking great-grandfather Onundur Tree-foot escaped Norway to settle in Iceland after fighting in the Battle of Hafrsfjord against the first king of Norway Harald Fairhair. Chapters 14-85 primarily focus on the life, condemnation, and death of Grettir. Chapters 86-93 focus on Grettir’s half-brother Thorstein Dromund’s journey to the court of Constantinople to take revenge and, incidentally, find courtly love before spending the latter portion of his life in a monastic cell in Rome. Both Grettir's viking/raider great-grandfather and his knightly half-brother succeed whereas Grettir's quest to become a monster-slaying hero of old results in him becoming an outlaw. Christianity became more common in Iceland around 1000, and some scholars believe this changing morality explains why Grettir's fate is different than his pagan great-grandfather's before conversion and his more pious, christian half-brother's fate after conversion. Originally, the ill-tempered Grettir experienced some success, but his life takes a turn for the worst after he encounters the draugr Glamr in chapter 35. As a result of Glamr's curse, Grettir becomes disastrously unlucky, only grows weaker/never stronger, becomes afraid of the dark, and is doomed to loneliness, becoming an outlaw, and an early death. While in Norway in chapter 38, Grettir will accidentally kill a hut full of people by unintentionally lighting it on fire. In chapter 46, the Althing back in the Icelandic Commonwealth votes that Grettir is an outlaw because of the deaths this fire caused. This outlaw status forces Grettir to live on the edge of society and opens him up to being hunted by others. He is repeatedly betrayed by other outlaws and, after living 19 years as an outlaw, he will die a hunted man on the lonely island of Drangey in chapter 82. In chapter 77, it is stated that Grettir would have ceased being an outlaw after 20 years. Story Chapters 1-13 Chapters 1-13 take place before Grettir's birth and focus on his father, Ásmundar, his grandfather, Thorgrim Grey-head, and his great-grandfather Önundur. Grettir's great-grandfather Önundur had been a viking/raider. In chapter two, Önundur lost his leg below the knee and became Önundur Tree-foot, while fighting from a ship against the Norwegian king Harald Fairhair at the Battle of Hafrsfjord. King Harald won the battle and united Norway into one kingdom. In chapter 3, those who fought King Harald fled Norway for Britain and Ireland. At one point, Önundur Tree-leg fought a battle against Kjarval, who was king around Dublin. In chapter 7, Önundur tree-foot visits southern Norway to assist kin. In chapter 8, he leaves Norway and arrives in Iceland to settle for good in chapter 9. Önundur dies and is buried in tumulus in chapter 11, after which the saga's focus shifts to his son Thorgrim Grey-head and his son Ásmundar Grey-hair. Asmundar fathers Thorstein Dromund while visiting Norway in Chapter 13 and then returns to Iceland. Chapters 14-85 Grettir's life is told from beginning to end. Chapter 14 describes Grettir's immediate family. Ásmundar Grey-hair and his wife Asdis have two boys: (1) the eldest brother, Atli, is quiet and gentle, and (2) Grettir, is rebellious, bad-tempered, and mischievous. He is described as red haired, somewhat freckled, and broad around the eyes. They also have two daughters: (3) Thordis and (4) Rannveig. In this chapter, it is stated the Grettir's father did not care for him much but that his mother loved him a lot. It is also revealed that Grettir grew strong and that he has a fondness for poetry. In chapter 16, Grettir receives his first sentence for outlawry. While still very young, Grettir kills a person because he thinks they have taken his food bag. Despite attempts to pay compensation to the family similar to weregild, he is temporarily banished from Iceland and sentenced to lesser-outlawry for three years. He asks his father for a sword before he leaves, which his father refuses, but his mother Asdis gives him family heirloom sword from her familyline in chapter 17. He then leaves for Norway for the first time. In chapter 18, Grettir fights his first creature, an undead man, Kar, guarding treasure in his own funeral mound/tumulus. Treasures and weapons are taken from the mound after Grettir's triumph. He has other successful adventures in Norway as well, killing bears and berserkers. He then has to flee Norway to go back to Iceland after he kills people for an insult in chapters 23 and 24. Grettir comes back to Iceland. In Chapters 32-33 a Swedish, pagan shepherd named Glámr is asked to watch sheep, but disappears on Yule/ Christmas eve. He is seen dead the next day in the snow and then Glamr will become a draugr that haunts the area. Grettir will fight and successfully slay Glamr in chapter 35. Glamr's curse is what leads Grettir in a different direction. As a result of Glamr's curse, Grettir becomes disastrously unlucky, only grows weaker/never stronger, becomes afraid of the dark, and is doomed to loneliness, becoming an outlaw, and an early death. While in Norway for the second time in chapter 38, Grettir will accidentally kill a hut full of people by unintentionally lighting it on fire. His older brother, Atli at the family farm will get killed by a man named Thorbjorn in chapter 45. In chapter 46, the Althing back in the Icelandic Commonwealth votes that Grettir is an outlaw because of the deaths the fire caused. Grettir returns home to Iceland the following chapter, 47, to learn this information for the first time. This outlaw status forces Grettir to live on the edge of society and opens him up to being hunted by others and being betrayed by other outlaws. Grettir lives in various places running from enemies and slaying more monsters. In Chapter 69 he returns home to the farm at Bjarg and sees his mother. She sends him off with his 15 year old brother Illugi and they head off to spend the rest of the saga on the island of Drangey off the northern tip of Iceland. Part of the reason for this if that the island has steep cliffs and can only be climbed up on with the help of a ladder than can be withdrawn. Grettir eventually becomes the longest-surviving outlaw in Icelandic history. After spending over 19 years as an outlaw, his friends and family ask for his banishment to be lifted, arguing that a man could not spend more than 20 years as an outlaw according to the law (in fact, there was no such law in medieval Iceland). In chapter 77, after a debate at the assembly, it is decided that the outlawry will be lifted when he has completed the 20 years but not before. His enemies make one last effort, using sorcery to cause him to wound himself and finally defeat him, atop the cliff-sided, lonely, fortress-like Drangey off the northern tip of Iceland where he was staying with another brother of his named Illugi, and his slave Glaumur. Grettir's enemies succeed in killing him in chapter 82. Assuming that the tales of the saga bear any relationship to historical realities, Grettir would have died 'some time between 1030 and 1040'. Chapters 86-93 His half brother, Thorsteinn Dromund, later avenges him in a semi-comic scene in Byzantium/Constantinople, where the Norse served as Varangians. While in Constantinople, he falls in love with a married woman named Spes, who helps him. After Thorsteinn Dromund completes his mission the two of them decide to spend the rest of their lives in monastic cells in Rome. Legacy Grettir Ásmundarson was reported to have been from Bjarg in Miðfjörður. At Bjarg, Grettir Ásmundarson always had refuge with his mother Ásdís. Many place names in the neighbourhood of Bjarg and indeed throughout the county bear the name of the outlaw e.g. Grettishaf, Grettistak and Grettishöfði at Arnarvatn. Even Garfield is named Grettir in Iceland: because he is rufous, a little broad and unwilling to conform to society's norms. A memorial was erected to his mother Ásdís at Bjarg in 1974. The memorial displays a relief from Grettis Saga made by Icelandic artist Halldór Pétursson. Grettir is celebrated in the long poem Eclogue from Iceland in the 1938 collection The Earth Compels by Irish poet Louis MacNeice, who had developed a love of Norse mythology while at school at Marlborough College. In it, the ghost of Grettir speaks with two men, Craven and Ryan, who have been 'hounded' from a decadent and war-threatened Europe 'whose voice calls in the sirens of destroyers'. He urges them to recover their underlying human values, and to assert, as he has, 'the sanctity of the individual will'. He tells them to return home as an act of duty, which he calls - remembering his own defiant choice to be an outlaw - 'Your hazard, your act of defiance and hymn of hate, hatred of hatred, assertion of human values' and (in the poem's final words') 'your only chance'. The Australian composer Percy Grainger described the Grettis Saga as the "strongest single artistic influence" in his life. The saga was adapted in 2017 as the basis for a novel set in Sheffield by Tony Williams (author). Translations . At the Icelandic Saga Database.

In computer networking, telecommunication and information theory, broadcasting is a method of transferring a message to all recipients simultaneously. Broadcasting can be performed as a high-level operation in a program, for example, broadcasting in Message Passing Interface, or it may be a low-level networking operation, for example broadcasting on Ethernet. All-to-all communication is a computer communication method in which each sender transmits messages to all receivers within a group. In networking this can be accomplished using broadcast or multicast. This is in contrast with the point-to-point method in which each sender communicates with one receiver. Overview In computer networking, broadcasting refers to transmitting a packet that will be received by every device on the network. In practice, the scope of the broadcast is limited to a broadcast domain. Broadcasting a message is in contrast to unicast addressing in which a host sends datagrams to another single host identified by a unique address. Broadcasting is the most general communication method, and is also the most intensive in the sense that many messages may be required and many network devices are involved. Broadcasting may be performed as all scatter in which each sender performs its own scatter in which the messages are distinct for each receiver, or all broadcast in which they are the same. The MPI message passing method which is the de facto standard on large computer clusters includes the MPI_Alltoall method. Not all network technologies support broadcast addressing; for example, neither X.25 nor frame relay have broadcast capability, nor is there any form of Internet-wide broadcast. Broadcasting is largely confined to local area network (LAN) technologies, most notably Ethernet and token ring, where the performance impact of broadcasting is not as large as it would be in a wide area network. The successor to Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), IPv6 also does not implement the broadcast method, so as to prevent disturbing all nodes in a network when only a few may be interested in a particular service. Instead it relies on multicast addressing - a conceptually similar one-to-many routing methodology. However, multicasting limits the pool of receivers to those that join a specific multicast receiver group. Both Ethernet and IPv4 use an all-ones broadcast address to indicate a broadcast packet. Token Ring uses a special value in the IEEE 802.2 control field. Broadcasting may be abused to perform a type of DoS-attack known as a Smurf attack. The attacker sends fake ping requests with the source IP-address of the victim computer. The victim computer is flooded by the replies from all computers in the domain.

David Michael Spindel (born August 31, 1941) is an American photographer. He began his professional career in 1964 working with still-life objects and eventually broadened his horizons by doing portraits. Spindel also incorporates baseball memorabilia in collage form in some of his work. He is probably best known for photographing John Lennon and Yoko Ono during Lennon's last recording sessions for Double Fantasy in 1980. Biography Spindel grew up in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York and graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1964 (studying under such photographers as Minor White, professor Leslie Stroebel, Richard D. Zakia, Ralph Hattersley and Robert Bagby). He worked as a photo assistant for 6 years until his employer at that time, Tosh Matsumoto, encouraged him to open his own studio. Throughout his commercial career, Spindel was featured in major newspapers, magazines and art publications. Television shows in the U.S. and abroad have featured segments on his approach to photography. After 28 years in commercial advertising, Spindel began creating an interactive body of work called "Rebuses." Webster’s dictionary defines a rebus as representation of words or phrases by means of pictures or objects whose names resemble those words or phrases; a form of riddle composed of such pictures. Spindel's rebuses have been quoted as being "unexpectedly different and more fun than finding one of Hirshfeld’s Ninas". Ranging in subjects from all-time favorite celebrities to frequently used everyday expressions, Spindel's rebuses are an outpouring of his inexhaustible sense of humor. Notable fans and collectors of Spindel's work include: Charlton Heston, Hillary Clinton, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Marty Allen, Stiller and Meara, Anne Jackson, Eli Wallach, Chuck Connors, Donald Trump, Jerry Lewis, Lou Jacobi, Billy Crystal and Kate Hepburn. Regis Philbin said, “David is a little eccentric but you have to put up with it when someone is a genius”. Bette Davis once said, “David’s art is wondrous”. Michael Eisner thought his photography was extraordinary and recommended it to the sports division of Disney. Joe DiMaggio greatly admired Spindel’s talent and posed for a portrait with his own personal memorabilia. In 1992, Abbeville Press released The Bronx Bombers and The Boston Red Sox, the first two titles in the award winning, eight-volume Major League Memories series. Each book chronicles a major league baseball team’s history, in scrapbook form, from inception to present day. In 2014 Master PIece puzzle commissioned David to create one of his unique collages on the life of John Wayne. It is titled "Remembering the Duke". they also licensed 4 of his sports images for 1000 piece puzzles. On the eve of John Lennon birthday in 2015, CNN licensed several of his photographs for a special documentary they were creating. Spindel is also known for donating his photographs to charitable organizations. He has raised funds for the Leukemia Society of America, The Mid Hudson Children’s Museum, A.L.S., Baseball Assistance Team (BAT), Lupus, The Heart Fund, Yogi Berra’s and Phil Rizzuto’s favorite charities (Handicapped Boy Scouts of Southern NJ and St. Joseph’s School for the Blind) and numerous family shelters. Spindel's original photographs created for posters are featured at The National Baseball Hall of Fame. References Category:1941 births Category:American portrait photographers Category:Living people

This is a list of compositions by jazz musician Thelonious Monk. 0-9 52nd Street Theme A contrafact based loosely on rhythm changes in C, and was copyrighted by Monk under the title "Nameless" in April 1944. The tune was also called "Bip Bop" by Monk, and he claims that the tune's latter title was the origin of the genre-defining name bebop. It quickly became popular as an opening and closing tune on the clubs on 52nd Street on Manhattan where Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker played. It was first recorded by Dizzy Gillespie's sextet on February 22, 1946, under the title "52nd Street Theme". Leonard Feather claims he gave the latter title. A Ask Me Now A tonally ambiguous ballad in D first recorded on July 23, 1951, for the Genius of Modern Music sessions. It also appears on 5 by Monk by 5, and Solo Monk. Jon Hendricks wrote lyrics to tune and called it ”How I Wish”, and was first recorded by Carmen McRae on Carmen Sings Monk. B Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are A riff-based blues in B first recorded on October 9, 1956, for Brilliant Corners. The title references Pannonica de Koenigswarter's troubles with her stay at the Bolivar Hotel, where her parties would disturb the management of the hotel. It also appears on Les Liaisons dangereuses 1960, and on Monk's Dream; on the latter release, it was retitled "Bolivar Blues" or "Blue Bolivar Blues." Live versions also appear from the albums recorded at the It Club and the Jazz Workshop. Bemsha Swing A tune Monk wrote with Denzil Best and was first recorded on December 18, 1952, for the album Thelonious Monk Trio. The tune is also known as "Bimsha Swing", because the word Bemsha is a re-spelling of "Bimshire" — a colloquial nickname for Barbados, where Denzil Best was born. It is a 16-bar tune with an AABA-form. The 4-bar A-section is essentially in C major but borrows tones from the parallel C minor scale, and is transposed up a fourth to create the B section of the form. The tune also appears on Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants and Brilliant Corners, featuring Max Roach with a timpani drum added to his set, this inspired Monk's son "Toot" Monk to play the drums. Live versions appear on the albums recorded in Italy, Tokyo, It Club, Jazz Workshop, and the album Misterioso (Recorded on Tour). Bluehawk A blues in B first recorded on October 21, 1959, for Thelonious Alone in San Francisco. Monk wrote the tune after a visit from Guy Warren in 1958, the melody is borrowed from Warren's "The Talking Drum Looks Ahead" from the album Themes for African Drums. The title is a tribute to Monk's friend Coleman Hawkins, and the Black Hawk club in San Francisco. Blue Monk A blues in B written in the studio and first recorded on September 22, 1954, for the album Thelonious Monk Trio, and is by far the tune Monk recorded the most. The melody is partly borrowed from Charlie Shavers' "Pastel Blue". Versions of the tune appear on Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk, and Monk's Blues. The tune appears on almost every single live album by Monk, including the albums from Carnegie Hall, Five Spot, Town Hall, Tokyo, Newport (1958, 1959, 1963), It Club, and at the Jazz Workshop. Abbey Lincoln wrote lyrics to the tune around 1961, and was recorded by Carmen McRae as "Monkery's the Blues" on the album Carmen Sings Monk. Blues Five Spot A blues in B dedicated to the Five Spot Café, and appears on Misterioso, Monk's Dream, and Live at the It Club. It's also known as "Five Spot Blues". Boo Boo's Birthday A 21-bar tune in AAB-form. It was only recorded once, on December 21, 1967, for the album Underground. "Boo Boo" was the nickname of Monk's daughter, Barbara Evelyn Monk (September 3, 1953–January 10, 1984). Brake's Sake A tune that was recorded only twice, and the form is different on both versions. It was first recorded by Gigi Gryce with Monk as a sideman on October 15, 1955, for Gryce's album Nica's Tempo, and the second version was recorded on February 10, 1964, for the album It's Monk's Time. Both versions have the AABA form, where the last A-section has an extended coda. The version from 1955 has 10 bars in the last A-section, while the version from 1964 has 12 bars, accordingly. Bright Mississippi A contrafact of "Sweet Georgia Brown" that Monk developed during the European tour in 1961, where the melody consists of staccato notes that outline the harmony. It was first recorded on November 1, 1962, for Monk's Dream. Live versions also appear from the albums recorded at the It Club and the Jazz Workshop. Brilliant Corners A notoriously difficult 22-bar tune in ABA-form (8-7-7 bars respectively), where the head is first played slowly and then in double-time. The choruses in the solos also follow this form. The tune was first recorded on October 15, 1956, for the album Brilliant Corners, and the song had notoriously 25 incomplete takes of the tune, and the final version was completed by producer Orrin Keepnews by cutting together the incomplete takes. The tune was later recorded in a simplified version November 20, 1968, for Monk's Blues with Oliver Nelson's orchestra. Bye-Ya A 32-bar Latin-tune in AABA-form that was originally titled "Playhouse" (as a dedication to Minton's, where Monk was the house pianist in the early 1940s with Kenny Clarke). It was originally supposed to be arranged by Gil Fuller, when Monk was the pianist in Dizzy Gillespie's big band, but wasn't recorded until October 15, 1952, for the album Thelonious Monk Trio under the name "Bye-Ya". Producer Bob Weinstock wanted to call the tune "Go", but because of the Latin influence, Weinstock asked for a Spanish translation, thus "Go" became "Vaya", and "Vaya" became "Bye-Ya". The tune was later recorded for Monk's Dream, and live versions appear on the albums recorded at Carnegie Hall, Five Spot, and Lincoln Center. C Children’s Song A 16-bar (AA-form) composition in E, derived from the traditional children's counting song "This Old Man." It was only recorded once, on October 7, 1964, for the album Monk. The original stereo LP referred to the song as “That Old Man” on both the jacket and the label, but the mono LP listed the song as “That Old Man” on the jacket and “Children’s Song” on the label, as have later reissues of the stereo LP. A 1984 European LP listed it as simply “Children’s Song,” but it has generally been known as “Children’s Song (That Old Man)” since the 2002 CD issue. Coming on the Hudson A 19-bar tune in AAB-form that Monk wrote in 1958 during his stay at Pannonica de Koenigswarter's house at Weehawken, New Jersey, where the house had a good view of the Hudson River. It was first recorded on February 25, 1958, with Clark Terry, Johnny Griffin and Pepper Adams with Monk's rhythm section. This performance currently appears on Monk's Complete Riverside Recordings, though it first appeared on the 1984 rarities compilation Blues Five Spot. A live version appears on the 1958 album Thelonious in Action: Recorded at the Five Spot Cafe, and it was later recorded in studio for the album Criss-Cross. Crepuscule with Nellie A through-composed tune that is played without solos. Monk composed the tune throughout May 1957. The tune was originally titled "Twilight with Nellie", but Pannonica de Koenigswarter suggested instead to use the French word for twilight, which is crepuscule. The tune was first recorded with Monk's septet for Monk's Music; on that album (and on many of its reissues), "Crepuscule" was spelled "Crepescule" (3 e'''s, 1 u). The tune also appears on Les Liaisons dangereuses 1960, Criss-Cross., and on the live albums from Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, France and Italy. Criss-Cross "Criss-Cross" (originally titled "Sailor Cap") was one Monk's very first compositions, he wrote early in 1944 as response to a collaborative project between Monk, Mary Lou Williams, and Bud Powell. It was first recorded on July 23, 1951, for the Genius of Modern Music sessions, and was later featured on the 1964 album of the same name. On the first version, the tune is in a standard 32-bar AABA-form, but in the last version, the two last bars of the B-section are dropped. The tune inspired Gunther Schuller to compose variations on Criss-Cross, which premiered on May 17, 1960, and was later released on Jazz Abstractions, featuring Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy as soloists. E Epistrophy "Epistrophy" (initially called "Fly Rite" or "Iambic pentameter") was co-written with Kenny Clarke, and was copyrighted on June 2, 1941, and was the first tune copyrighted by Monk. It is a relatively atonal 32-bar tune in ABCB-form, though the key center is C. The main melodic theme was composed by Clarke, after experimenting with fingerings on the ukulele, and the chords where written by Monk. The title "Epistrophy" is not a word in any dictionary. However, the word "epistrophe" is defined by Merriam-Webster as "the repetition of a word or expression at the end of successive phrases, clauses, sentences, or verses especially for rhetorical or poetic effect". The tune appears on almost every single live album by Monk, as it was the closing tune of each set from Monk's days at Minton's Playhouse onwards. The first recording was by Cootie Williams on April 1, 1942, and it was later recorded by Clarke's band on September 5, 1946. It was not recorded by Monk before July 2, 1948, for the Wizard of the Vibes sessions, featuring Milt Jackson. It was later recorded for Monk's Music and was an outtake from the It's Monk's Time sessions. Eronel A 32-bar tune in AABA-form originally composed by Sadik Hakim, co-written with Idrees Sulieman. It was recorded on July 23, 1951, for the Genius of Modern Music sessions. However, Monk repeatedly changed notes and the chords to the tune and added the B-section, eventually making it "his" tune. Hakim originally wrote the tune in dedication to an old flame of Hakim, Lenore Gordon (Eronel is Lenore backwards). When the recording was released, it was only credited to Monk – Hakim and Sulieman did not receive the composer's credit until Monk's death. It later appeared on Piano Solo, and on Criss-Cross.

Humph A contrafact of ”I Got Rhythm” that was the very first tune Monk recorded as a leader.

The tune is notable for its radical chord progressions and form, as it is borderline atonal. In most jazz standards, the A-section is used to establish the key, while the B-section has tonal excursions, but in "Introspection", the roles of the sections are reversed. The A-section doesn't land on a stable chord until bar 6 where it lands on DΔ7, but the B-section establishes DΔ7 as a new key center. The last extended A-section finally lands on DΔ7 in the 4-bar coda. J Jackie-ing A through-composed 16-bar tune in the B lydian mode, that Monk named after his niece, Jackie Smith.

An 8-bar tune in A that only appears on the album Big Band and Quartet in Concert. Two unrelated explanations have been reported regarding the origin of the title. The plausible explanation is that the title is a reference to the radio personality and jazz broadcaster Oscar Treadwell (after whom Charlie Parker named a different jazz composition, "An Oscar for Treadwell"). The other explanation is that title is a corruption of the British English pronunciation of "ask for tea". Ethan Iverson speculates that this tune was Monk's response to the modal jazz movement, as the tune is mostly lies on one chord. P Pannonica A 33-bar tune in AABA-form (8-8-8-9) that is one of Monk's most popular ballads. The tune was written around the summer of 1956, and was dedicated to Pannonica de Koenigswarter.

The tune also appears on the albums Piano Solo as "Portrait of an Ermite", Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2, Thelonious Alone in San Francisco, and on Monk's Blues. According to Gary Giddins it is "classic, paradoxical Monk, beautiful and memorable yet a minefield of odd intervals, each essential to its bricks-and-mortar structure". In the 1980s, Jon Hendricks wrote lyrics for the song for Carmen McRae, who released it on her album Carmen Sings Monk under the name "Looking Back". Dianne Reeves sang the tune on her 2003 album A Little Moonlight. Rhythm-A-Ning A tune that's based on rhythm changes in B, and was one of Monk's staple tunes. "Rhythm-A-Ning" was first recorded on May 15, 1957, for the album Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk, and later appears on Mulligan Meets Monk, Les Liaisons dangereuses 1960, and on Criss-Cross. It also appears on almost every single live album recorded by Monk since 1958, starting with Thelonious in Action. The A section is found in multiple recordings of Monk's friends on recordings from the 1930s to 1940s. The theme is found in Mary Lou Williams' arrangement of Walking and Swinging (with Andy Kirk, 1936), and on bootleg recordings of Charlie Christian's tune "Meet Dr. Christian", recorded at Minton's Playhouse. Monk and Williams were close friends. Jon Hendricks added lyrics to the tune, retitling it Listen to Monk and it appears on Carmen McRae's album Carmen Sings Monk. The piece has since appeared on dozens of Monk's releases, as well as being covered by musicians such as Dexter Gordon, Kenny Barron, and Chick Corea. Round Lights A improvised blues in B recorded in October 1959 for Thelonious Alone in San Francisco. The album's liner notes claim the title is "in honor of" the "ancient, ornate chandeliers" in Fugazi Hall, where the album was recorded. 'Round Midnight "'Round Midnight" is Monk's most recorded tune, and the world's most recorded standard by a jazz musician.

Ruby, My Dear A 32-bar ballad in AABA-form that Monk composed around 1945, and first titled "Manhattan Moods". The tune was later retitled "Ruby, My Dear" after Rubie Richardson, Monk's first love and his older sister Marion's best friend. It was however not for nostalgic reasons, but because the first phrase of the tune fit with the new title. It was first recorded on October 24, 1947, for the Genius of Modern Music sessions. The tune later appears on Monk's Music, Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane, Thelonious Alone in San Francisco, and on Solo Monk. Lyrics were written by Sally Swisher and the song was recorded in 1988 by Carmen McRae as part of her studio album Carmen Sings Monk. For copyright reasons, the song was renamed "Dear Ruby". S San Francisco Holiday A 32-bar tune in AABA-form that Monk composed on New Year's Eve 1959.

When it appeared on the album Monk in Italy, it finally appeared under the title "San Francisco Holiday", which Monk named after his family's long stay in San Francisco. Margo Guryan also wrote lyrics for the tune. Shuffle Boil A 32-bar tune in AABA-form, with an unusual bass ostinato. The title is a corruption of "shuffle ball", which is a move commonly used in tap dance. It was first recorded by Gigi Gryce with Monk as a sideman on October 15, 1955, for Gryce's album Nica's Tempo, and later appears on It's Monk's Time. Sixteen A 16-bar tune in AABA-form, and the title is from the tune's number of bars. Its only recording was done May 30, 1952, for the Genius of Modern Music sessions, but was not released officially until Mosaic Records released their compilation of Monk's Blue Note sessions. Skippy A 32-bar tune in ABAC-form, and is based entirely on cycling dominant chords (or their tritone substitutions). The tune's tonality is completely hidden until the last 4 bars clearly establish A-major. The tune was named after Nellie Monk's sister, whose real name was Evelyn. Its only recording was done on May 30, 1952, for the Genius of Modern Music sessions, but it has since the 2000s became a popular tune, with many cover versions. It is commonly agreed that the "Skippy"'s changes are based on Monk's reharmonization of "Tea for Two" (which he would later record on The Unique Thelonious Monk, and on Criss-Cross,) but Ethan Iverson argues that Monk composed "Skippy", then applied the changes to "Tea for Two". Something in Blue A 12-bar blues in B. It was only recorded once, at the marathon Black Lion Records session of November 15, 1971. Straight, No Chaser A 12-bar blues in B which, as in "Blue Monk", makes creative use of chromatics in the melody.

It has been recorded numerous times by Monk and others and is one of Monk's most covered songs. Lyrics were written by Sally Swisher and the song was recorded in 1988 by Carmen McRae as part of her studio album Carmen Sings Monk. For copyright reasons, the song was renamed "Get It Straight". Music educator Mark C. Gridley wrote about Monk's composition style: "Monk employed simple compositional devices with very original results. His "Straight, No Chaser" involves basically only one idea played again and again, each time in a different part of the measure and with a different ending." Stuffy Turkey A 32-bar tune in D major that was only recorded once, on February 10, 1964, for the album It's Monk's Time. The A-section is based on rhythm changes, and is borrowed from Coleman Hawkins's tune "Stuffy". T Teo A 24-bar tune in B minor in ABA-form.

It was later recorded for the album Underground, and live versions appear on the albums The Thelonious Monk Orchestra at Town Hall, and Live at the Jazz Workshop. The A-section is based on a riff that Monk used very often, dating back to his days as the house pianist at Minton's Playhouse. The riff contains only the pitches B and A, insisting on the tonic, and is reharmonized with descending chords. Think of One A 32-bar tune in AABA-form. The tune was first recorded on November 13, 1953,and appears on the album Monk, and later appears on the album Criss-Cross. The tune is very similar in conception to "Thelonious", as the melody insists the tonic, with albeit more unexpected changes than in "Thelonious". Trinkle, Tinkle A 32-bar tune in AABA-form that is notorious for its difficult melody. It was first recorded on December 18, 1952, for the album Thelonious Monk Trio, and later appears on the album Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane and on Monk's Blues. There are two stories about the origin of the title, the first explains that producer Ira Gitler may have misheard when Monk said the title of the tune in studio - Gitler reports that Monk may have said "Trinkle, Tinkle, like a star" instead of "Twinkle, Twinkle, like a star". It is also believed that the title is a corruption of the term "tickler", which was what the old stride pianists used to call themselves. Two Timer A tune that was never recorded by Monk, but was first recorded by Jackie McLean for his album A Fickle Sonance, under the title "Five Will Get You Ten". The tune was credited to Sonny Clark, who was struggling with heroin addiction at the time, and was a frequent visitor to Monk's friend, Pannonica de Koenigswarter's house. It is believed that since Monk kept most of his sheet music in Pannonica's house, Clark stole the lead sheet and claimed as his own, in hopes of the tune being a hit. The original lead sheet was later discovered around the '90s, and was first recorded by Monk's son for his album Monk on Monk. U Ugly Beauty A 32-bar tune in AABA-form, and was only recorded once, on December 21, 1967, for the album Underground. It was Monk's drummer Ben Riley suggestion to play the tune as a waltz, and "Ugly Beauty" is therefore significant for being Monk's only waltz. Mike Ferro later wrote lyrics to the tune, and the song was recorded in 1988 by Carmen McRae as part of her studio album Carmen Sings Monk. For copyright reasons, the song was renamed "Still We Dream". W We See A 32-bar tune in AABA-form, and was first recorded on May 11, 1954, for the album Monk. It later appears on the albums Piano Solo under the name "Manganèse", and on Straight, No Chaser. The tune was initially called "Weetee", which was the nickname for Monk's cousin, Evelyn. Margo Guryan also wrote lyrics for the tune. Well, You Needn't A 32-bar tune in AABA-form that is one of Monk's most popular tunes, and is famous for its chromatically ascending/descending chords. The tune was earlier known as "You Need 'Na". The tune was first recorded on October 24, 1947, for the Genius of Modern Music sessions. It later appears on Piano Solo, Monk's Music, and on Les Liaisons dangereuses 1960. Live versions appear on most of Monk's live albums. The title was inspired by jazz singer Charles Beamon. Monk wrote a song and told Beamon he was going to name it after him, to which Beamon replied, "Well, you need not". There are three widely played versions of the tune; Monk's version uses an F pedal in the A section, with an obbligato figure in addition to the melody. The line rises chromatically from C for each bar, then descends when it has reached E. The bridge starts on D, then ascends and descends chromatically to C, the dominant. Monk would in later versions play alternatingly F and G when comping, but keep the bridge as it was. Miles Davis's version of the tune is comparatively more popular. Davis alters the A section's main motif, and tritone substitutes Monk's changes during the bridge. Therefore, Miles Davis starts the melody of the bridge a half-step too low. He later recorded a contrafact of the tune, called "I Didn't", and appears on the album The Musings of Miles. Mike Ferro later wrote lyrics to the tune, and the song was recorded in 1988 by Carmen McRae as part of her studio album Carmen Sings Monk. For copyright reasons, the song was renamed "It's Over Now". Who Knows? A 32-bar tune in AABA-form, and is notable for its difficult melody. It was only recorded once, on November 21, 1947 for the Genius of Modern Music sessions. Work A 32-bar tune in AABA-form, and is also notable for its difficult melody, chromatic changes, and obbligato bass line. It was only recorded once, on September 22, 1954, and appears on the album Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins. References Literature

In developmental psychology, thematic coherence is an organization of a set of meanings in and through an event. In education, for example, the thematic coherence happens when a child during a classroom session understands what all the talking is about. This expression was termed by Habermas and Bluck (2000), along with other terms such as temporal coherence, biographical coherence, and causal coherence, to describe the coherence that people talk about while narrating their own personal experiences (the many different episodes in their life, most especially in childhood and adolescence) which need to be structured within a context. In conversation — although this technique also can be found in literature — the thematic coherence is when a person (or character) "is able to derive a general theme or principle about the self based on a narrated sequence of events."

Blind Willies is an American folk rock band based in San Francisco. The group was founded by singer-songwriter Alexei Wajchman while he was a student at San Francisco School of the Arts in 2002. The band began as a duo, with guitarist Wajchman and fiddler Annie Staninec, playing covers of American folk songs. They soon made the transition to Wajchman's original songs which he began writing when he was 15. Career Wajchman and Staninec graduated from School of the Arts and continued to play together at University of California, Santa Cruz. In 2007, the band released its first professional album, The Unkindness of Ravens, written by Wajchman. The album received prominent notice from KQED and from Jenn O'Donnell, editor of the online music zine DOA, who wrote "Blind Willies play incredibly wonderful music. Alexei is a remarkable songwriter whose lyrics go well beyond the average ramblings of most singer-songwriters. Even 'Mainline' – with its 'hungry pawn store prisoners' – is well-crafted enough to run with the big boys and Wajchman wrote the song at the tender age of 15." The album also received praise from Americana UK, where reviewer Paul Villers wrote "What is beyond question is Wajchman’s skill as a storyteller. Of the Willy Vlautin school, these ten tales explore the darker side of life with word play that is evocative of a quiet desperation, a cool loathing of unavoidable situations or perhaps a pitiful yearning for redemption." Blind Willies toured locally in California and on the East Coast. They played at San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, Berkeley's legendary Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse, San Francisco's Free Folk Festival, DjangoFest, Brooklyn's Barbès where they opened for Stephane Wrembel, and Manhattan's SideWalk Cafe where they played with Peter Stampfel (The Holy Modal Rounders, The Fugs). In June 2008, after releasing Everybody's Looking for a Meal, the band's second album of songs written by Wajchman, the duo broke up. The album received high praise from reviewers and Wajchman was invited to play the Emerging Artist Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, where he was accompanied by Meg Okura. On July 27, 2008, two songs from the newly released album, 'Sinners Medley' and 'Mom Says No', were featured on Robert Sherman's WFUV radio show, Woody's Children, the longest running folk music broadcast in the country. In July 2009, Canada's Radio Shalom, an internationally broadcast Jewish programming station, featured several songs from the album, including 'Sinners Medley', on host Helene Engel's show, Les faces cachées de la musique juive. In 2009, Wajchman finished writing his third album of original songs and soon began rehearsals with musicians he had first met in high school at School of the Arts: Misha Khalikulov(cello), Daniel Riera(flute, bass), Max Miller-Loran(keys, trumpet), and Adam Coopersmith(drums). The new album Needle, Feather, and a Rope was released in April 2011 and was widely acclaimed. Shortly after the album's release, Coopersmith left the band and was replaced by Alex Nash, also a graduate of San Francisco School of the Arts. Alex's twin brother, Adam Nash(guitar), joined the band in 2014. In 2013, the band completed recording a new album, Every Day Is Judgment Day, Alexei Wajchman's fourth collection of original songs. Germany's Wasser-Prawda named it Album of the Month in July 2014. Blind Willies embarked on the band's first European tour(Ireland, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany) in August 2013, and toured UK, Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany again May 2015-July. Blind Willies songs have been played on more than 200 radio stations around the world, including the US, Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, UK, Israel, Australia, and Canada. Members of Blind Willies also play with Rupa and the April Fishes, Watsky, Goodnight, Texas, Marcus Cohen and The Congress, Meklit Hadero, Kev Choice Ensemble, and The Getback. Origin of band name Wajchman told writer Tony DuShane in an interview for the San Francisco Chronicle's 10/21/2011 96 Hours entertainment section: "At 15, I discovered Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Blind Blake, and Blind Lemon Jefferson. I started the band as a folk duo in high school and I wanted to pay homage to the musicians who inspired me, musically and lyrically. I’d been influenced by white musicians who’d been influenced by black musicians. The blind, black itinerant guitar players absorbed the hymns they heard in church and enriched those hymns with the influences of folk music and street culture. They were living sieves with heightened aural senses. They wrote songs with titles like 'Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground', 'The Soul of a Man', 'Broke Down Engine Blues', 'Lord I Wish I Could See'. I wanted to write songs as immediate and powerful. The name Blind Willies is appropriate to the cauldron of our various influences."

Broadward is a dispersed hamlet in south Shropshire, England, situated by the border with Herefordshire. It is in the civil parish of Clungunford, a village approximately to the north. Geography The placename is shared by a number of buildings in the area, including Broadward Hall, a country house. The River Clun flows to the east of Broadward (from north to south) and after passing Broadward exits Shropshire and enters Herefordshire; the river here is a private fishery. The stretch of the River Clun south of Broadward Bridge is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Broadward lies generally at an elevation of above sea level, on gently undulating land within the lower Clun Valley. The hamlet lies just above the flood plain, which is quite extensive, with the fields between the hall and the River Clun being flood meadows. Agriculture in the area is a mixture of arable and livestock (traditionally sheep and cattle) farming. Broadward is situated on the B4385 main road and is approximately from Hopton Heath railway station which is on the Heart of Wales Line. At Hopton Heath the 740 bus service calls, with 3 buses a day to Ludlow and Knighton. Built in 1831, Broadward Bridge takes the main road over the River Clun () and is a Grade II Listed structure. Broadward forms the southerly end of the parish of Clungunford. Immediately to the north, and also in the parish, lies the hamlet of Beckjay, which can be accessed from Broadward by a lane leading off the main road. The nearest villages with amenities (each including a post office, two pubs and local convenience shops) are Leintwardine (2 miles) and Bucknell (3 miles). The nearest market towns are Knighton (in Wales), Craven Arms and – the largest – Ludlow, which is away. The county town of Shropshire, Shrewsbury, is distant by road. Communications The postcode is SY7 0QA, except for Broadward Barn and Broadward Bridge which have their own postcode SY7 0PZ. There is a Royal Mail post box on the main road by the Gate Lodge. The post town for Broadward is Craven Arms; historically it was Aston on Clun. The dialling code is 01547 (the Knighton area code) followed by 530 (the Bucknell exchange) for the majority of the settlement, or 540 (the Leintwardine exchange) for Broadward Barn and Broadward Bridge. History Broadward Hall is a Grade II Listed building, largely a 19th-century remodelling of an 18th-century house, with a castellated Gothic appearance. Broadward dates back much earlier however, and was a medieval settlement with township status within the Clungunford parish. The hall is a private residence and is not open to visitors. The hall was once part of the Hopton Castle Estate and for 200 years was the home of the Bayley family. In 1943 it was purchased by the Bilston Corporation, who planned to develop it into a children's home, which did not happen, and in 1947 it was bought by Thomas Watkins. The hall continues as a private residence, and there remains a small sheep farm on the estate. The placename is derived from "broad ford"; the exact location of where this ford was is unknown and no ford exists in modern times (the crossing being replaced by Broadward Bridge). The historic change of the second element of the name, from "ford" to "ward", is the reverse of what happened to the placename of Clungunford. To the east of the hall, and adjacent to a public right of way, is an old motte () originating from medieval times after the Norman conquest, which is designated as a scheduled monument. It was built to control the crossing of the River Clun (by way of the old ford) and is only big enough to have supported a watch tower. It lies roughly halfway between the mottes at Clungunford and Leintwardine, also located by the Clun. Bronze Age artefacts – mainly spearheads and sword fragments – have been discovered in the riparian vicinity of the hall, initially from an excavation (for drainage works) in 1867. Many of the findings are now in the British Museum and form part of the Broadward complex. The artefacts were over a metre below modern-day ground level and are believed to have been offerings to water gods in what was a marshy landscape; the level of the ground has since risen in the area (by natural process of alluvial material deposited in times of flood) and the area has also now been drained for agriculture.

Tangjiashan Lake (, literally "Tang's Mountain landslide dam-created lake") is a landslide dam-created lake on the Jian River, which was formed by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Its name comes from the nearby mountain Tangjiashan. On May 24, 2008 the water level rose by in a single day, reaching a depth of , just below the barrier level. On June 9 2008, more than 250,000 people have been evacuated from Mianyang in anticipation of the Tangjiashan Lake dam bursting. A similar lake in the same province that formed 222 years earlier caused one of the worst landslide-related disasters in history. On June 10, 1786 a landslide dam on Sichuan's Dadu River, created by an earthquake ten days earlier, burst and caused a flood that extended 1400 km downstream and killed 100,000 people. A "relatively strong" aftershock on June 8, 2008 shook the massive earthquake-formed lake that has been threatening to flood more than 1 million people and triggered landslides in surrounding mountains. Soldiers used digging equipment, explosives, and even missiles to blast channels in the dam in an attempt to relieve the pressure behind it. The flow from the sluice channel cut into the dam increased dramatically on June 10, 2008, going from 300 cubic metres/second to 7000 cubic metres/second in the span of four hours. The muddy waters flowed rapidly downstream causing flooding in the evacuated town of Beichuan and overtopping of dams. In 2013 broken banks from a severe flood caused the lake's water to fall to 503 metres above sea level, 40 metres below its peak and 9 metres below its 2010 level. As water receded, the Xuanping town in the Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County was revealed. The lake is now within the Beichuan Earthquake Museum. Landsat imagery from 2018 showed that the lake's size was greatly reduced do to natural erosion of the barrier and filling of the lake with sediment.

Splicing factor 3B subunit 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SF3B1 gene. Function This gene encodes subunit 1 of the splicing factor 3b protein complex. Splicing factor 3b, together with splicing factor 3a and a 12S RNA unit, forms the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins complex (U2 snRNP). The splicing factor 3b/3a complex binds pre-mRNA upstream of the intron's branch site in a sequence independent manner and may anchor the U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA. Splicing factor 3b is also a component of the minor U12-type spliceosome. The carboxy-terminal two-thirds of subunit 1 have 22 non-identical, tandem HEAT repeats that form rod-like, helical structures. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Interactions SF3B1 has been shown to interact with: CDC5L, DDX42, PPP1R8, SF3B2, SF3B3, SF3B14, Clinical relevance Mutations in this gene have been recurrently seen in cases of advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and breast cancer. SF3B1 mutations are found in 60%-80% of patients with refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts (RARS; which is a myelodysplastic syndrome) or RARS with thrombocytosis (RARS-T; which is a myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm). There is also an emerging body of evidence to suggest implications of SF3B1 mutations being involved in orbital melanoma. References Further reading

Eygelshoven is a small village near the town of Kerkrade in the southeast of the Netherlands, close to the German and Belgian borders. It has two former coal mines, Laura and Julia, which were named after the wives of the two owners. Both pits closed in 1974. The local soccer club is also named after the former coal mines. Eygelshoven has a small former church from the sixteenth century, which stands on top of a hill. In 1922, another church was built. Architect Alphons Boosten designed the new church. Plans to demolish the old church were abandoned in favour of a new use as a chapel and because of its historical worth. A third Roman Catholic church was built in 1957, the Pastoor van Arskerk, which was torn down in 1994 when it became redundant. The old mining village of Eygelshoven was a separate municipality until 1982, when after more than eight centuries it was merged with Kerkrade.

Australian patent law is law governing the granting of a temporary monopoly on the use of an invention, in exchange for the publication and free use of the invention after a certain time. The primary piece of legislation is the Patents Act 1990. Patents are administered by the Commonwealth Government agency IP Australia. Australia is a member state of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and compliant with Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). This makes Australian patent law broadly comparable with patent law in other major countries. Key features Australia has two kinds of patent available: a standard patent with a term of 20 years an innovation patent, with a lower threshold for inventiveness, and a maximum term of 8 years. Innovation patents have a faster approval process and lower fees. Australia operates a first to file system, like much of the rest of the world. Australian patent databases The AusPat Patent database is the official Australian patents database operated by the Australian Intellectual Property Office. AusPat records patents dating back to 1904. History Pre-Federation The system of granting patents in the six Australian colonies was based upon British law, and can be traced back to the English Statute of Monopolies of 1623. This was enacted in 1624. Prior to the colonies enacting their own legislation in the mid-19th century and forming their own patent offices, inventors applied to England for patent registration and protection. When legislatures were established in the Australian colonies, people could apply (petition the parliament) for a patent to be granted by the governor of the colony, by way of a private bill. The first of these was South Australian Private Act No.1 of 1848, granted to Andrew John Murray of Adelaide for "An improved windlass", on 20 June 1848, for a period of 10 years. A further three private acts were granted in South Australia; and several were granted in Western Australia. The first general patent act in Australia was introduced into New South Wales in 1852 and came into force on 10 January 1854. Victoria proclaimed its first Patent Act in 1854, with the length of the grant being for 14 years. Post-Federation Section 51(xviii) of the Constitution of Australia gave the new federal parliament the right to legislate with regard to "copyrights, patents of invention and designs, and trade marks". The first federal legislation dealing with patents was the Patents Act 1903, passed by the first Deakin Government. The act transferred the administration of the state patents acts to the federal government with effect from 1 June 1904, and established the Australian Patent Office (APO). The first patent was filed with the office on 13 February 1904. The APO is the direct predecessor of IP Australia, the current Australian government agency responsible for patents. The original 1903 act has been replaced on two occasions – the Menzies Government's Patents Act 1952 and the Hawke Government's Patents Act 1990.

Emma McCune (3 February 1964, in India – 24 November 1993, in Nairobi) was an expatriate British foreign aid worker in Sudan who married then-guerrilla leader Riek Machar. She was killed when hit by a matatu in Kenya whilst expecting her first child. Background McCune was born in Assam, India where her father ran a tea plantation. The family returned to the UK but her father did not adjust to life in England. Her parents divorced and her father committed suicide. She attended the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. In 1985 Emma flew to Australia and back in a single engined light aircraft with her friend Bill Hall. Sudan McCune went to war-torn Sudan in 1987 at age 23 to teach for the British organisation Volunteer Services Overseas. After reluctantly returning to England in 1988 McCune once again returned to Sudan in 1989 to work for the UNICEF-funded Canadian organisation Street Kids International, which founded or re-opened more than 100 village schools in the country's south. McCune spent much of the late 1980s in the south in the midst of war and famine. Riek Machar McCune met and married Riek Machar, one of two leading southern guerrilla commanders, and became a high-profile khawagiyya (foreigner). They were instantly attracted to one another, and Machar, who already had a wife, proposed on their second meeting a year after the first. After taking up with Machar, including using a UN-supplied typewriter to produce manifestos, she was fired by Street Kids International. She lived with Machar as war intensified and he split his faction away from the larger movement. At one point they fled a machine-gun attack. In 1993, after becoming pregnant, she moved to Nairobi; she and her unborn child died in a car crash in Nairobi, Kenya. Publications Emma's mother, Maggie McCune, published her story in Till the Sun Grows Cold. Journalist Deborah Scroggins wrote an unauthorised biography of her, Emma's War. "In my heart, I'm Sudanese," she once said, according to Scroggins. Scroggins' depiction of the young British aid worker is complicated and often critical. McCune is depicted as a woman willing to bravely confront military warlords for help allowing Sudanese children to be schooled in their villages but later, after marrying that same warlord, is able to deny to herself the corruption and horrific violence resulting from her husband's civil war struggle. The book had been optioned for a film to be directed by Tony Scott, but the family objected to a film based on the book, delaying its production. The film was still in development at the time of Scott's death in 2012; its fate remains unclear. Legacy Emma also saved more than 150 war children in Sudan including hiphop artist Emmanuel Jal and is the title subject of his song "Emma McCune" on his 2008 album Warchild.

Justice at the Gate is an evangelical Christian political organization that advertises itself as "building the partnerships to mobilize Christians to pray effectively and vote righteously." It is currently based in San Antonio, Texas and is led by Alice Patterson. Justice at the Gate sponsors prayer coordination campaigns in which participants pray for divine influence to sway federal court decisions. The program includes an "Adopt a Judge" campaign in which specific justices are selected as the object of prayer campaigns. The organization espouses a theological link between the United States and divine will, suggesting that persons and organizations in conflict with the United States, both historically and in the present, are in violation of that will. A major emphasis of the organization's activities is racial reconciliation. Justice at the Gate conducts prayer and educational seminars aimed at fostering "repentance" between Anglo and African Americans over historical wrongs such as slavery. Though considered unconventional for a religious organization, Justice at the Gate enjoys close ties with many political figures in the Republican Party of Texas. The organization is affiliated with and publishes materials of David Barton, the party's Vice Chairman and an evangelical author. Patterson has also been invited to lead several prayer ceremonies at the party's annual convention. Justice at the Gate activities in Texas have also attracted the participation of many elected officeholders including the state's governor, Rick Perry. Patterson was one of the major organizers of "The Response," a prayer meeting organized by Perry and held at Reliant Stadium in Houston.

The Artists' International Association (AIA) was an organisation founded in London in 1933 out of discussion among Pearl Binder, Clifford Rowe, Misha Black, James Fitton, James Boswell, James Holland, Edward Ardizzone, Peter Laszlo Peri and Edith Simon. History The first meeting took place in Misha Black's room at Seven Dials. Originally it was called Artists International, but it added the word Association to its name when it was reconstituted in 1935. It continued until 1971, but abandoned its original objectives in 1953, thereafter existing as an exhibiting society. Essentially set up as a radically left political organisation, the AIA embraced all styles of art both modernist and traditional, but the core committee preferenced realism. Its later aim was to promote the "Unity of Artists for Peace, Democracy and Cultural Development". It held a series of large group exhibitions on political and social themes beginning in 1935 with an exhibition entitled Artists Against Fascism and War. The AIA supported the left-wing Republican side in the Spanish Civil War through exhibitions and other fund-raising activities. The Association was also involved in the settling of artists displaced by the Nazi regime in Germany. Many of those linked with the Association, such as Duncan Grant were also pacifists. Another of the AIA's aims was to promote wider access to art through travelling exhibitions and public mural paintings.

"Disneyland After Dark" was an episode of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color that aired on April 15, 1962. Later, it was released theatrically overseas as a short subject. As the name of the episode implies, Walt Disney himself presents a view of Disneyland at night. It features some nighttime entertainment, including a fireworks display (complete with Tinker Bell flying across the sky) and Tahitian dancers performing for Adventureland dinner patrons. However, this episode focuses less on Disneyland itself and more on the many celebrity singers at the different sections of the park, including the Osmond Brothers, former Mouseketeers Annette Funicello and Bobby Burgess, teen heartthrob Bobby Rydell, Monette Moore, and Louis Armstrong. In a running gag, Walt Disney introduces but is unable to attend these attractions and performances, being pinned down by an endless supply of autograph seekers (including a repeat customer) throughout the program. This episode was released on DVD in 2001 as part of Walt Disney Treasures: Disneyland, USA, and presented in its original, uncut NBC broadcast presentation.

The State of Grão-Pará and Rio Negro () was one of the states of the Portuguese Empire. History The state was created in 1772 by order of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal, the Secretary of the State for Joseph I of Portugal. The state was created because of the economic success of the State of Grão-Pará and Maranhão. Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo split that state into two states, the State of Grão-Pará and Rio Negro and the State of Maranhão and Piauí, thinking that this would cause even better economic conditions, though the state split would prove a failure. In 1775, due to the failure of the new state, both the State of Grão-Pará and Rio Negro and the State of Maranhão and Piauí were merged into the State of Brazil, finally unifying Portuguese America into one colony.

Newtown Tram Depot is a heritage-listed former tram depot in King Street, Newtown, City of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was part of the Sydney tram network. The tram depot and Newtown railway station were jointly added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History Newtown Tram Depot opened on 1 April 1900 adjacent to Newtown railway station on King Street, Newtown. It initially provided trams on the Glebe Point, Canterbury, Earlwood and Summer Hill lines. It closed on 28 September 1957. It is the oldest remaining tram depot in Sydney that has survived in its original form. It contained: Tram Storage Shed (1899), with its own distinctive parapet design Tram Traffic Offices (1900), additional floor c.1914 Main Tram Track Area (1899), series of 16 tram tracks fanning out from two tracks at King Street, removed Secondary Tram Yard (1899), demolished The property was transferred from the NSW Department of Government Transport to the NSW Department of Railways in 1960 and the depot was gutted of its trackwork and tramway fixtures. The site was subsequently used variously for bus parking, private tenancies and railway uses, but is now vacant. It was subject to a road reservation zoning for many years. The depot sits alongside Newtown railway station. Part of the depot's forecourt was redeveloped and opened to the public in 2012 as part of an upgrade to the station. This area now acts as the entrance to the station concourse. The main depot building remains derelict. Surviving features Tram Storage Shed (1899) This is essentially a large single storey structure with a major internal storage space and flanked on the north and south by small single storey annexes. Construction is of load bearing English bond face brickwork with attached piers to all four facades, the open end is supported now by steel RSJ posts and in-filled with corrugated steel vertical sheets on steel frames. The north and south brick gables enclose the iron sawtooth roof structure and has a series of large circular vents bordered by polychromatic brickwork. The vents enclosing the interior roof structure are fitted with timber louvres while the adjoining ones are completely open. Windows to the south-west areas of the facade, in the area of the converter room, are generally steel-framed with cement rendered external surrounds. The main roof is of corrugated steel and the skylights are of original wire-reinforced glass in steel glazing bars, except where the roof is fire-damaged. The annex buildings, where they have survived in near original form, are constructed of face brickwork in Flemish Bond with timber windows. The roofs are clad with unglazed terracotta tiles in Marseilles pattern, generally in a hipped form. Exterior detailing includes the use of bricks of special profile to give an ogee to the lower course under a window or an elegant scotia to the lower edge of an abutment. The interior of the main spaces are formed by the iron framed sawtooth roofing, supported on four arcades of cast iron circular columns. The northern most row has had most of the columns replaced with fabricated welded steel RSJ posts. The surrounding walls are painted brickwork. The riveted frames are constructed of lightly framed roof principals spanning between lattice girders bracketed off stub posts, over the tops of the main columns. The floors are largely of reinforced concrete, or similar, with a long vehicle ramp at the west end in the centre. There are considerable areas of missing roofing (the total enclosed area of the former battery and converter rooms is roofless). Former Battery Room (to the south-east corner) Built and partitioned within brick walls to roof for a battery room in 1914 as part of the system associated with the large sub-station installed. Roofing material is now completely removed. Former Converter Room (to the south-east corner) Built 1914 as a substation occupying the same space as an earlier small sub-station. All equipment has been removed except for the overhead crane 6 tonne overhead crane which remains on its track. The substantial foundations for the rotary converters and the steel reinforced concrete sub floor remain. Roofing material is now completely removed. Former Meal Room (to the south-east corner) Built shortly after opening of the tram depot in 1900 it remains largely intact as a single room accessed by a flight of stairs. Staff Amenities Room and Passage (to the south-east corner) Built early 20th century to supplement the original meal room. The ceilings have been completely removed from this area. Toilet Wing (to the northern elevation) Built as original staff toilets, now semi-demolished with no roof and the access from the tram shed bricked-up. Electrical Stores (to the northern elevation) Built originally as stores and offices but now mostly demolished. Tram Offices (1900) Originally built in 1900 as tram traffic offices with attached toilets in the Federation Period style with a single storey only. In another floor was added in a similar manner for additional office space. The building is constructed from English bond brickwork with a hipped form roof clad with Marseilles terracotta tiles. There are timber-framed double-hung windows, and a timber bracketed terracotta tiled awning survives at first floor level while the ground floor veranda has been removed. The attached toilet block has a skillion roof behind brick parapets. The veranda to the north of the 1900 building has an open deck of concrete on a brick base; the timber veranda has now been demolished. The single storey offices to the west were originally built as offices in Flemish Bond brickwork with red "rubbing" brick voussoirs over the windows and doors. The building is now semi-derelict as the roof has been removed. All of the ground floor offices are now used as storage areas. They have timber floors, painted brick walls (which were originally plastered) and a plaster ceiling with the original cornices intact. The stair hall to the eastern end was originally part of the offices but converted c.1914 to give access to the first floor. The stair is of timber construction with original boarded wall on the ground floor to the old storeroom. The open passage to the east of the stair is a concrete paved access way to the attached brick toilet block, which is reached by a steel stair. The offices on the first floor have timber floors, painted brick walls (which were originally plastered) and a plaster ceiling with the original cornices intact. Each of the rooms has an original fireplace. The eastern most room has been converted into a bath room with a tiled floor and shower bath. Main Tram Track Area (1899) This large open area was formed in 1899 with a series of 16 tram tracks fanning out from two tracks at King Street. Now partly paved over there is evidence of much of the original tram tracks remaining particularly obvious on the northern boundary with the railway line. A boundary wall on Railway Lane is part of the 1918 railway institute building (now demolished) while the other boundary brick wall is an original retaining wall. The main sewer line connecting to the station travels in a north-south direction from the station platform across the site to Railway Lane. Secondary Tram Yard (1899) This is a slightly smaller yard leading off Angel Street which contains a later railway signal and communications building but now is virtually vacant. This area is accessed through chain wire gates from the street. It may contain the foundations of a number of buildings which were once on the site including the Mortuary Station, stables and Blacksmith's shop. It also was on the north frontage of the tram storage shed with amenities and the electrical stores. Design Design features including: 16 tracks Plain front parapet East roof orientation Heritage listing The former Newtown tram depot has state historical significance as it formed an integral part of the electrification of the NSW tramway system which commenced in 1899. Being the second of the tram depots built to service the new electric tram fleet the buildings, it represents the high level of commitment by the government to providing a mass electric transit system service for Sydney's suburbs at the start of the 20th century. The tram depot site and its buildings are representative of the typical electric tram depot layout constructed as part of the NSW tramway system. The large tram shed and the associated tram offices exemplify the common architectural style of the NSW tramway buildings built during and just after the time of Federation. It is considered rare as it is one of the few NSW tramway buildings to survive and it is the oldest in essentially its original form. Newtown Tramway Depot was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria. The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales. Built to service the new electric tram fleet, the former Tram Depot at Newtown is of state historical significance for its association with the replacement of steam trams with electric traction in Sydney in 1899. Opened in 1900 the tram depot was the second built of the tram depots in NSW and together with the adjacent Newtown Railway Station represented in the late 1890s the coming of an integrated suburban transit system for Sydney. The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales. The tram storage shed at the former Tram Depot at Newtown is an attractive building of significant size, is well known in the community, and being highly visible from the railway line, Newtown Station and Erskineville Road has landmark qualities. The common architecture of the tramway buildings at the time, of which Newtown is an example, described loosely as the Federation style is exemplified in the main building and the adjacent tram offices. The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons. The place has the potential to contribute to the local community's sense of place and can provide a connection to the local community's history. The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. Based upon existing documentary evidence there is potential for the Former Tram Depot site to contain archaeological remains likely to contribute to a further understanding of early 20th century living and working conditions in the Newtown area. The site and the open yard areas also have potential to reveal information relating to early 20th century tram and electric power generation history. The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. The former Tram Depot at Newtown is one of few such buildings of the NSW tramway system that survive in Sydney and is the oldest in its original form. The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales. The site and buildings of the former Newtown Tram Depot are representative of the electric tram depot layout and design typical of the NSW tramway system. They generally represent the high level of government commitment to the provision of mass electric transport to Sydney's suburbs at the start of the 20th century.

The Google Science Fair is a worldwide (excluding Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Myanmar/Burma, Syria, Zimbabwe and any other U.S. sanctioned country) online science competition sponsored by Google, Lego, Virgin Galactic, National Geographic and Scientific American. It has occurred annually since 2011. The first Google Science Fair was announced in January 2011; entries were due on April 7, 2011 and judging occurred in July 2011. The competition is open to 13- to 18-year-old students around the globe, who formulate a hypothesis, perform an experiment, and present their results. All students must have an internet connection and a free Google Account to participate, and the projects must be in English, German, Italian, Spanish, or French. The final submission must include ten sections, which are the summary, an "About Me" page, the steps of the project, and a works cited page. Entries are judged on eight core criteria, which include the student's presentation, question, hypothesis, research, experiment, data, observations, and conclusion. Prizes are awarded to three finalists. The grand prize includes a National Geographic trip to the Galapagos Islands, and a US$50,000 scholarship; finalists will receive a US$15,000 scholarship and assorted packages from sponsoring organizations. While Larry Page and Sergey Brin were PhD students at Stanford University in California, they created Google in January 1996 as a research project; Google employee Tom Oliveri highlighted the company's early days: "Science fairs help students to explore their vision and curiosity through science. Our company was founded on an experiment. We firmly believe that science can change the world," he stated. As of October 28th 2019, no details for the next Google Science Fair have been released. Guest interviews The on-line site also contains a number of highlighted guest interviews with selected individuals, each well established and prominent in their field of science, with the aim being for them to act as inspiration to young students. The individuals chosen include Mitch Resnick, Spencer Wells, Kevin Warwick, and Mariette DiChristina. 2011 winners Shree Bose, a 17-year-old girl from Fort Worth, Texas, won the grand prize and $50,000 for her research on the chemotherapy drug, cisplatin, that is commonly taken by women with ovarian cancer, tackling the problem of cancer cells growing resistant to cisplatin over time. Naomi Shah of Portland, OR, won the age 15–16 category with a study of the effects of air quality on lungs, particularly for people who have asthma. Ms. Shah recruited 103 test subjects, performed 24-hour air quality measurements at their homes and workplaces and had each blow into a device that measured the force of their breath. Lauren Hodge of York, PA, won the age 13–14 category for research on whether marinades reduce the amount of cancer-causing compounds produced by the grilling of meat. She found that lemon juice and brown sugar cut the level of carcinogens sharply, while soy sauce increased them. People around the world (90 countries) had the opportunity to vote for their favorite projects in Google's online voting gallery. Google has had more than 100,000 votes and the competition was really tight. Nimal Subramanian won the People's Choice Award for receiving the most among the 60 semi-finalists. The public really loved Nimal's project on Cancer Busters. Nimal received a $10,000 scholarship. 2012 winners Brittany Wenger, who was 17, won the grand prize with her "Global Neural Network Cloud Service for Breast Cancer". Designed to noninvasively diagnose malignant cancerous tumors, it successfully detected over 99% of malignant breast tumors in a test set. She received $50,000, a trip to the Galapagos Islands, mentoring and internship opportunities for winning the competition. Iván Hervías Rodríguez, Marcos Ochoa, and Sergio Pascual, all of Spain, won the 15-16 age group using microscopy to examine microscopic creatures in aquatic ecosystems. Jonah Kohn won the age 13-14 group by designing and building a device designed to enhance the listening experience of those with hearing loss.

Keith Price (born June 28, 1991) is an American football quarterback who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Washington, where he was the starting quarterback from 2011 to 2013. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Seattle Seahawks in 2014. He has also played professionally in the Canadian Football League (CFL), where he was a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the BC Lions. He also played for the Birmingham Iron of the Alliance of American Football (AAF). Early years Price grew up in Compton, California, and attended St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California. As a senior at St. John Bosco, he completed 143 of 200 passes for 2,260 yards and 24 touchdowns, while also rushing for 579 yards and 10 touchdowns. Price's performance in high school was overshadowed by Matt Barkley who became the Gatorade National Football Player of the Year while playing for Bosco rival Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California. Price was co-MVP of the Trinity League. College career In July 2008, Price announced that he had accepted a football scholarship to attend the University of Washington. 2010 season After serving on the scout team while redshirting in 2009, Price became the Huskies' backup quarterback in 2010. He appeared in eight games and was the starting quarterback against the No. 1 ranked Oregon Ducks. He completed 14 of 28 passes against Oregon for 127 yards, no interceptions, and a touchdown. He also replaced Jake Locker against USC, and threw a touchdown pass on his first play in the game. 2011 season Price became Washington's starting quarterback as a redshirt sophomore in 2011. In the second game of the season, he completed 18 of 25 passes for 315 yards and four touchdowns in a 40-32 victory over Hawaii. The following week, he threw for 271 yards and four touchdowns, while taking a hard hit on a sack from defensive lineman Jared Crick in the second quarter, in a 38-51 loss against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. During the 2011 regular season, Price completed 219 of 325 passes for 2,625 yards and a school record 29 touchdowns. His 161.9 quarterback rating ranked 13th among all NCAA Division I FBS players, and his 29 touchdown passes ranked seventh. Despite posting impressive statistics, Price had not garnered the nationwide media attention received by other leading quarterbacks. Price acknowledged feeling ignored but added, "I kind of like flying under the radar." In the Alamo Bowl that season against the Baylor Bears, Price threw for over 400 yards, four touchdown passes and three touchdown runs. Despite Price's effort, Washington lost 67-56. Price then began receiving a lot more attention as a future Heisman Trophy candidate. In 2011 as more attention grew, he was given the nickname "Teeth" Price for his charismatic smile during his interviews. 2012 season During the 2012 season, Price completed 263 of 432 passes for 2,728 yards with 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. 2013 season During the 2013 season, Price completed 233 of 352 passes for 2,966 yards with 21 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. His final collegiate game came in the teams 31-16 victory in the 2013 Fight Hunger Bowl. He finished his career with 8,921 passing yards and 75 touchdowns. Professional career Following the 2014 NFL Draft, Price signed as an undrafted free agent with the Seattle Seahawks. On June 16, 2014, the Seattle Seahawks released Price. On September 9, 2014, Price was signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. On November 8, 2015, Price made his first career CFL start. His contract was not renewed in 2016 and he became a free agent. On March 23, 2016, the BC Lions signed Price to a contract. On June 10, 2017, he was released by the BC Lions. On September 5, 2018, Price was announced as a new signing for the San Diego Fleet of the Alliance of American Football. After going undrafted in the 2019 AAF QB Draft, he was signed by the Birmingham Iron on January 16, 2019, and made the final roster on January 30. In the fifth game against the Orlando Apollos, Price replaced struggling starter Luis Perez in the 31–14 defeat. Price completed 18 of 29 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown, with the 30-yard score to running back Brandon Ross being Birmingham's first passing touchdown of the 2019 AAF season. However, the following week the Iron turned back to Perez, when Price went down early in the game with an injury. Price could have returned but head coach Tim Lewis elected to keep Perez in; Price's stat line read 3 completions on 4 attempts for 18 yards, and one rush for 9 yards. Price relieved Perez again in week 8, coming off the bench to complete both of his pass attempts for 31 yards in a victory over the Atlanta Legends. It would have been a playoff clinching win, but the league suspended operations several days later.

The Ribble way is a long-distance walk between the Lancashire coast and the Yorkshire Dales National Park largely following the course of the River Ribble. The route begins in Longton and ends at the source of the Ribble at Gayle Moor near Ribblehead, it is around in length. The route passes through a variety of landscapes including tidal marsh, open moorland and limestone gorges. It begins to the south of the Ribble estuary, the route then runs through Preston and on to the historic town of Clitheroe. Next it heads up into the Pennines to reach its source on remote Cam Fell. History The idea of opening a walk along the Ribble called the Ribble Way was first suggested back in 1967 at the inaugural meeting of the Preston and Fylde branch of the Ramblers' Association. The Guardian reported in 1972 that the Ramblers Association were planning Britain's first riverside long footpath called the Ribble Way. At that time, the route being discussed was from the estuary of the River Ribble at Walmer Bridge close to Preston to its source near the farmhouse of Far Gearstones in the West Riding of Yorkshire fells; just of the planned route was designated right-of-way. The idea eventually attracted official support and was opened in 1985. The Ribble Valley is an area of of natural beauty from the north-west coast to the Lake District. The official course of the Ribble Way that is marked on the Ordnance Survey (2010) OS Openspace maps starts at Longton, the mouth of the River Ribble just west of Preston, above mean sea level and finishes at Grove head, just north of Cam Fell, above mean sea level.

Fluorinated gases (F-gases) are man-made gases that can stay in the atmosphere for centuries and contribute to a global greenhouse effect. There are four types: hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). Types of F-gases The most common F-gases are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which contain hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon. They are used in a multitude of applications including commercial refrigeration, industrial refrigeration, air-conditioning systems, heat pump equipment, and as blowing agents for foams, fire extinguishants, aerosol propellants, and solvents. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are the compounds consisting of fluorine and carbon. They are widely used in the electronics, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in refrigeration when combined with other gases. PFCs were commonly used as fire extinguishants in the past and are still found in older fire protection systems. They are also a by-product of the aluminium smelting process. Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) is used primarily as an insulation gas. It can be found in high-voltage switchgear and is used in the production of magnesium. HFCs were developed in the 1990s to substitute substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). As these substances were found to deplete the ozone layer, the Montreal Protocol lays down provisions for them to be phased-out globally. PFCs and SF6 were already in use prior to the Montreal Protocol. Impact of F-gases F-gases are ozone-friendly, very energy efficient, and safe for users and the public due to their low levels of toxicity and flammability. However, most F-gases have a relatively high global warming potential (GWP). If released, HFCs stay in the atmosphere for decades and both PFCs and SF6 can stay in the atmosphere for millennia. Regulation of F-gases International level Although the Montreal Protocol regulates the phasing out of HCFCs, there was no international agreement on the regulation of HFCs until late 2016 when the Kigali Agreement under the Montreal Protocol was signed, which has put compulsory phase wise phasing out of CFC gases. Efforts are ongoing to develop a global approach for the control of HFCs. Most recently, this has taken the form of a declaration of support for a global phase-down on as part of the outcomes of the "Rio+20" United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. US-level In the United States, the regulation of F-gases falls under the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency's overall attempts to combat greenhouse gases. The United States has put forward a joint proposal with Mexico and the Federated States of Micronesia for a phase-down of HFCs by 2030. EU-level regulation In order to combat the potential global warming effects of F-gases, and as part of the EU's Kyoto protocol commitments, in 2006 the European Union passed two pieces of legislation controlling their use: the F-gas Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 and the Mobile Air Conditioning Directive Directive 2006/40/EC. The F-gas Regulation adopts an approach based on containment and recovery of F-gases as well as imposing obligations on reporting, training and labeling on those using F-gases. On 26 September 2011, the Commission issued a report on the application, effects and adequacy of the Regulation, drawing from the results of an analytical study it commissioned from German environmental research institute, Öko-Recherche. A further study, conducted by the Armines Centre energétique et procédés and by Energy Research Innovation Engineering (ERIE) found that emissions reductions of up to 60% can be achieved by improving containment measures and accelerating the changeover from high GWP refrigerants to ones with lower GWP. On 7 November 2012, the European Commission published the proposal to revise the F-gas Regulation. In December 2013, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU agreed the text of the revised regulation, which shall be applied from 1 January 2015.

Henry Edward Crampton (January 5, 1875 – February 26, 1956) was an American evolutionary biologist and malacologist who specialized in the study of land snails. Crampton undertook the first major study of evolution in nature in his research in the Society Islands. Crampton made twelve separate expeditions over the course of his career to Moorea near Tahiti to study the land snail genus Partula, while years more were spent measuring and cataloguing his specimens. In all, he dedicated nearly half-a-century to the study. Crampton served as professor of zoology at Columbia University and Barnard College from 1904 to 1943. He was the curator of invertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History. Stephen Jay Gould has cited Crampton as an inspiration, both for his evolutionary observations on Partula, and the enormous dedication and effort required to undertake them. He was also the inspiration for future work on Partula by Bryan Clarke, James Murray and Michael Johnson. This research was central to much of the development of the science of genetics. Crampton's monographs remain some of the most remarkable publications on any species, for their meticulous detail and the beautiful illustrations they contain. His work on the Society Islands species was never finished, his monographs covering only those of Tahiti and Moorea. The volumes on Huahine, Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora were never finished. This work is being revived, and the centenary of his first volume (Tahiti in 1916) is to be marked by the publication of a new monograph on all the Partulidae Selected bibliography Crampton H.

Sky surfing is a type of skydiving and extreme sport in which the skydiver wears a custom skysurf board attached to his or her feet and performs surfing-style aerobatics during freefall. The boards used are generally smaller than actual surfboards, and look more like snowboards or large skateboards. Custom bindings attach the board to the feet, which is removable with the use of a 3-ring release system. A neutral position maintaining stability is to stand upright on the board during freefall, this is also the position required for deployment of the main parachute whilst surfing medium and expert boards. The combination of rigid board and relative wind requires control to maintain stability during freefall. The jumper must control the board and their body position so as to open the parachute in a stable configuration. More advanced aerobatics such as loops, rolls and helicopter spins are possible. Since some moves involve high G-force spins some skysurfers tightly wrapping ace bandages all the way up the arms to keep the blood from pooling at the end of the limbs. Even with the bandage technique, however, many techniques in skysurfing can be extremely painful and result in temporary paralysis of fingers along with subconjunctival bleeding (broken blood vessel in eye). When a skysurfer is filmed by another skydiver falling alongside them, the resulting film gives the appearance that the skysurfer is riding on the air in the same way a surfer rides on a wave. The downward motion is not very apparent and this creates the illusion that a skysurfer is floating on the relative wind. A skysurfer falls at speeds comparable to any other freefall or freeflying skydiver, with speed varying depending on orientation. The competitive discipline of skysurfing is a team sport consisting of a skysurfer and a camera flyer with a video camera. History Skysurfing was invented by two French skydivers, Dominique Jacquet and Jean-Pascal Oron, in 1986, and became popular during the 1990s thanks to the efforts of the first few exponents to master the more complex aerobatics, such as the late Patrick de Gayardon and the late Jerry Loftis. The rise of skysurfing coincided with other new-age disciplines in skydiving, such as freestyle and freeflying. In 1991, after performing standing on a surfboard for a skysurfing advertisement of Coca-Cola Ray Palmer became the first Australian skysurfer. Skysurfing reached its peak in popularity during the mid to late 1990s. Skysurfers were featured in prime time television commercials for major brands like Pepsi AT&T Sony Playstation. Competitive team skysurfing was featured as part of the ESPN X Games from 1995 to 2000. In 1996 and 1997, the SSI Pro Tour staged eight X-Trials qualifying events in both North America and Europe. During this six-year period, pro skysurf teams received a total of $392,000 in cash winnings and the discipline garnered over 100 hours of global TV exposure without incident. After ESPN decided not to renew the sport for the seventh season, skysurfing has become exceptionally rare in the skydiving community. Reasons for the decline include the rise in popularity of freeflying and wingsuit flying, the hazards associated with flying and releasing the board, the amount of time required to master the large board and moves whilst a dwindling number of experienced skysurfers to train new pilots. Competitions In general, a sky surfing team include two people: a sky surfer and a camera flier. Judges give scores to a sky surfing team not only for the variety of moves and the total performance but also for the skills of camera flier to catch the best moments of performance. 75% of the total score is calculated on sky surfer's performance, and the rest is made up on the cameraman's score. The first Skysurf World Championship was held in Efes, Turkey on 13–21 September 1997 by the International Parachuting Committee. Main sky surfing competitions are USA national sky surf Championships, Sky surfing world Championships, ESPN X games, European Sky surfing Championships and SSI pro tour sky surfing.

Donald Harry Megson (born 12 June 1936) is an English former footballer and football manager. Don Megson is regarded as one of Sheffield Wednesday's greatest servants. He was signed from Mossley in the Cheshire League by Wednesday in 1952. He made his first team debut in November 1959, becoming a regular in the side as a left-back and eventually taking up the role of club captain. It was as captain that he led his team to a lap of honour (the first to do so as a losing captain) after Wednesday's 3–2 defeat to Everton at the 1966 FA Cup Final. Don made 442 appearances (including 386 league appearances and scoring six goals) for Sheffield Wednesday before moving to Bristol Rovers in March 1970 for whom he made 31 league appearances and scored one goal. He managed Bristol Rovers from 1972 to 1977, winning the 1972 Watney Cup in only his third game in charge. He coached the Portland Timbers of the North American Soccer League from 1978 to 1980. He also coached at Bournemouth for seven months in 1983. Both of his sons, Gary and Neil, have also played and managed professionally. He worked as a freelance scout for Bolton Wanderers, the club whom his son Gary managed until 30 December 2009. In October 2014, he released his biography, entitled, "Don Megson: A Life in Football".

Mondello is a small borough of the city of Palermo in the autonomous region of Sicily in Southern Italy. Its beach lies between two cliffs called Mount Gallo and Mount Pellegrino. The town was originally a small fishing village situated on marshland, but at the end of the 19th century it grew into a tourist destination. A number of Liberty style villas on the seafront promenade have made it one of the gems of Art Nouveau in Europe. History Until the beginning of the 20th century, Mondello was an unhealthy marsh enclosed by two headlands: the Mount Pellegrino described by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe as "the most beautiful promontory in the world" and Mount Gallo. The ancient fishing village laid at the foot of the latter. It was also home to a tonnara (or almadraba), one of the many ones scattered along the West coast of Sicily. The tonnara is no longer active. At some point, a Palermitan nobleman had the idea to drain the swamp. Prince Francesco Lanza di Scalea, with the help of a Belgian real estate company, built a plant for the drainage of swampy waters to the sea. The newly rehabilitated areas, previously occupied by the swamp, underwent a process of expansion and evolution from the 18th to the 20th centuries. From 1912 onwards Mondello became the seat of the high bourgeoisie and the aristocracy. The nobility of the city fostered the construction of several exclusive and aristocratic circles, the construction of villas and the exploitation of lush gardens. King Ferdinand of Bourbon called it "a corner of paradise". Eventually, the beach of Mondello was born. Attractions Mondello is characterized by a sandy bay that binds the two promontories, called Monte Gallo and Mount Pellegrino, with a coastline of white sand that nowadays is approximately 1.5 kilometers long. The Natural Reserve of Capo Gallo and the reserve of Monte Pellegrino are nearby. Today the area is known for its beach, for its Art Nouveau villas, which characterize the architecture of the place, making it an landmark in the history of international modernism.

The gracioso () is a clown or jester in Spanish comedy of the 16th century. Clarín, the clown in Pedro Calderón de la Barca's Life is a dream is recognized as a gracioso. Benjamin Ivry describes Gracioso as "scatological, sexual, anti-feminist, anti-Semitic, and a vehicle for wild, anti-heroic satire. A gross trickster with license to every obscenity, Gracioso could also be poignant, but mostly he burlesqued eroticism by declaring as identical hermaphrodites, homosexuals and eunuchs. Northrop Frye identified him as a type of tricky slave. Alborada del gracioso, the fourth movement of Miroirs (1904–05) by Maurice Ravel, is a musical portrait of a gracioso.

Chief Noc-A-Homa was a mascot for the Atlanta Braves from 1966 to 1985 that was primarily played by Levi Walker After being a mascot for the Braves franchise for two decades the Atlanta Braves retired the mascot before the 1986 season. History Origin The mascot's tradition started in 1964 while the franchise was in Milwaukee. The first recorded instance of the concept came when a 16-year-old high school student named Tim Rynders setup a tepee in the centerfield bleachers. He danced and ignited smoke bombs when the Braves scored. When the franchise moved to Atlanta the mascot was named Chief Noc-A-Homa. During the 1966 season, the Atlanta Braves held a contest to name their mascot. Mary Truesdale, a Greensville, SC resident was one of three people who entered "Chief Noc-A-Homa" the winning name chosen by the Braves. The first Chief Noc-A-Homa was portrayed by a Georgia State college student named Larry Hunn. During the 1968 season, after training from Hunn, Tim Minors took over as Noc-A-Homa. In 1969, Levi Walker approached the Braves about having a real Native American portray the chief. Walker got the job, having grown weary of life as an insurance salesmen, warehouse worker, and plumber. He served as the mascot until it was retired before the 1986 season. Walker an Ottawa native and an Odawa Native American, was the most famous version of Noc-A-Homa. Chief Noc-A-Homa could be found at every home game in a tepee beyond the left field seats. There were the times when the tepee was taken down to add more seats. Superstitious fans sometimes blamed losing streaks on the missing tepee. In 1982, when the Braves opened the season with 13 wins, owner Ted Turner removed the tepee to sell more seats. The Braves lost 19 of their next 21 games and fell to second place. Turner told team management to put the tepee back up and the Braves went on to win the National League West. Princess Win-A-Lotta In 1983, Chief Noc-A-Homa was joined by "Princess Win-A-Lotta" who was portrayed by Kim Calos. After suffering a serious back injury in a car accident that cut her season short, the Braves chose not to bring Princess Win-A-Lotta back in 1984. Retirement In 1986, Walker and the Braves mutually agreed to end their relationship due to disagreements about pay and missed dates. Walker made $60 per game and received $4,860 for 80 appearances. Controversy In 1972, Russell Means filed a $9 million lawsuit against the Cleveland Indians for their use of "Chief Wahoo." Means also objected to the Braves use of Chief Noc-A-Homa. Means said "What if was the Atlanta Germans and after every home run a German dressed in military uniform began hitting a Jew on the head with a baseball bat?" Means was unaware that Chief Noc-A-Homa was portrayed by a Native American. For a week, controversy raged. Walker went on radio talk shows to defend Noc-A-Homa. Walker said "I think Indians can be proud that their names are used with professional sports teams. Ultimately Noc-A-Homa survived the controversy.

The Battle of Cape Rachado, off the present day Malaccan exclave of Cape Rachado in 1606, was an important naval engagement between the Dutch East India Company and Portuguese fleets. It marked the beginning of a conflict between the combined Dutch/Johor forces against the Portuguese. It was the biggest naval battle in the Malay Archipelago between two naval superpowers of the time with 31 ships (11 of the Dutch VOC and 20 of the Portuguese). Although the battle ended with a Portuguese victory, the ferocity of the battle itself and the losses sustained by the victor convinced the Sultanate of Johor to provide supplies, support and later on much needed ground forces to the Dutch, forcing a Portuguese capitulation. 130 years of Portuguese supremacy in the region ended with the fall of the city and fortress of Malacca, almost 30 years later, in 1641. Departure and alliance with Johor Malacca, which was earlier the capital of the Sultanate of Malacca, was besieged and wrested by the Portuguese in 1511, forcing the Sultan to retreat and found the successor state of Johor and continue the war from there. The port city, which the Portuguese had turned into a formidable fortress, was strategically situated in the middle of the strait of the same name giving control to both the spice trade of the Malay archipelago and supremacy over the sea lane of the lucrative trade between Europe and the Far East. The Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) decided that to expand further to the east, the Portuguese monopoly and especially Malacca must first be neutralised. The fleet was the third sent by the VOC to the archipelago, with 11 ships – Oranje, Nassau, Middelburg, Witte Leeuw, Zwarte Leeuw, Mauritius, Grote Zon, Amsterdam, Kleine Zon, Erasmus and Geuniveerde Provincien. The Oranje lead with Admiral Cornelis Matelief de Jonge in command. The Dutch fleet set sail from Texel, Holland on 12 May 1605. The fleet departed with the sailors told that they were on a trade voyage as de Jonge was ordered to keep his true mission a secret, which was to siege Malacca and force a Portuguese surrender. They passed Malacca on April 1606 and arrived at Johor on 1 May 1606 where de Jonge proceeded to negotiate for a term of alliance with Johor. The pact was formally concluded on 17 May 1606 in which Johor had agreed to a combined effort with the Dutch to attempt to dislodge the Portuguese from Malacca. Unlike the Portuguese, the Dutch and Johor agreed to respect each other's religion, the Dutch would get to keep Malacca and the right to trade in Johor. The Dutch also would not attempt to interfere or wage war against Johor. In effect, the agreement served to limit Dutch influence on the Malay Peninsula in contrast to the islands of the archipelago which would become the Dutch East Indies. Dutch fleet Portuguese fleet Battle Matelief de Jonge started the assault by besieging the fortress and city of Malacca. He was hoping that by blockading and cutting the supplies to the Portuguese, prolonged hunger and direct assault would force them to capitulate. However, this was not so, as their Johor allies were still unsure of the ability of the Dutch forces against Malacca and did not fully commit their resources to the attack, other than limited supplies and safe haven at their ports. The Dutch, with few soldiers, could not afford a land offensive against their well-entrenched opponent. The Dutch maintained the siege for a time and the situation started to get worse for the Portuguese until 14 August 1606 when a Portuguese fleet from Goa arrived. Led by the Viceroy of Goa, Dom Martim Afonso de Castro, the siege was lifted when the 20-odd ships began to engage the VOC fleet off the Malaccan waters. The two fleets traded cannon fire and the Portuguese ships began to move northward, drawing the Dutch away from Malacca. On 16 August 1606, off the Portuguese lighthouse at Cape Rachado, the battle between the two fleets was enjoined. Heavy cannons salvoes opened the battle with each side trying to weaken the opponent before the ships closed on each other and the battle would have to be fought hand-to-hand. After a couple of days of cannon duels, on the morning of 18 August, with the wind in favour of the Portuguese, Martim Afonso de Castro ordered the Portuguese to sail forth for the grapple. Matelief, seeing the danger, ordered his ships to turn sail away from the oncoming ships to evade boarding. But for some reason, the VOC ship Nassau, failed to turn quickly, and ended up lingering behind, dangerously isolated. The Portuguese ship Santa Cruz dashed forth and boarded the Nassau. Matelief de Jonge ordered his own ship, the Oranje, to quickly turn around to rescue the hapless Nassau, but the awkward manoeuvre sent the Oranje into a collision with the Middelburg. While the Dutch captains were busy disentangling their ships, Martim de Castro's ship, the Nossa Senhora da Conceicão boarded the Nassau from the other side. The Dutch crew of the Nassau managed to jump into a lifeboat, leaving the fiercely burning Nassau behind. In the meantime, another Portuguese ship, the São Salvador, drove towards the entangled VOC ships and pierced headlong into the Middelburg, but was immediately itself grappled by the Oranje from the side, which was in turn rammed from its open side by the ship of D. Henrique de Noronha (the Nossa Senhora das Mercês). The entangled duo had now become a quartet. A furious battle raged between the hopelessly entangled ships, with point-blank cannonades quickly setting the ships ablaze, as much a danger to one as the other. Into this confusion entered the galleon of Dom Duarte de Guerra, who sought to toss a line to help tow Noronha's ship away from the burning Oranje. But the winds were unfavorable and instead the rescuer found itself drifting straight across the bows of the entangled ships. Just then the Mauritius decided to join the fight and pierces Dom Duarte de Guerra's ship from the other side. The battle had reached its height in the sextet of burning, interlocked ships. Matelief de Jonge realised that the smaller Dutch ships wouldn't last long, and that they must get out of this position before the larger Portuguese drop anchor. He ordered the Oranje to cut the grapple-lines' to the São Salvador, and sailed away from the mess. Albeit, Noronha's Mercês was still tied to Oranje and was dragged along with it. The Mauritius also decided to cut its grappling cables when it noticed Dom Duarte de Guerra's galleon had caught fire. The remaining entangled ships—the Middelburg, the São Salvador and Dom Duarte de Guerra's galleon—would burn and go down together, still entangled. In the meantime, a furious fight continued to be fought between Matelief's Oranje and Noronha's Mercês, who were still grappled. But at length Matelief proposes a truce to D. Henrique de Noronha, to allow them to put out their fires and save their ships. Noronha agrees. But the Oranje had dropped anchor, and as the crews went about extinguishing the flames, the winds were now sending the remaining Dutch ships towards the Oranje and the Portuguese ships away from it. Noronha's fate seemed doomed, but Matelief, not wishing to exploit a truce he had himself proposed, magnanimously offers to cut the grapple and allow Noronha to slip away unmolested back to the Portuguese line. For this honourable gesture, Noronha swears never to personally fight Matelief again. This final gentlemanly exchange displeased the vice-roy Martim Afonso de Castro, who would have preferred to allow Noronha's ship to continue burning and take the Dutch flagship down with it. D. Henrique de Noronha was promptly dismissed from the command of the Mercês, and replaced by another. Matelief de Jonge deemed that the losses suffered were too much and ordered the Dutch fleet to disengage and abandoned the fight. The battle was won by the Portuguese, but the failed Dutch attack marked the beginning of a serious threat to their dominance in the archipelago, which culminated in a massive Dutch-Johor-Aceh assault 30 years after which broke the gates and mights of the fortress of Malacca. Aftermath The Dutch requested shelter from Johor and arrived at Johor River on 19 August 1606. Overall the Dutch lost Nassau and Middelburg. 150 Dutch were killed and more wounded, Johor allied losses amount to several hundred. The Portuguese lost São Salvador and Dom Duarte de Guerra's smaller galleon while suffering 500 deaths (Portuguese and allies). The battle also proved the tenacity of the Dutch in their war against the Portuguese, which caused the Sultan of Johor to fully commit on providing the much needed armies and additional ships and resources. The Portuguese victory came to naught when the Dutch, having repaired their ships, returned to Malacca 2 months later to find the Portuguese fleet having left, leaving only 10 ships behind. The Dutch subsequently sank all 10 ships. Shipwrecks and excavation All four ships lost at Cape Rachado were found by Gerald Caba of CABACO Marine Pte Ltd, Singapore. Then they were recovered in 1995 under the supervision of Mensun Bound from Oxford University. Nassau had been found about off the modern town of Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. The wreck was found with 15 cannons, cannonballs, ropes and wooden barrels with animal bones, coins and a Chinese jar. The wreckage of Middelburg, São Salvador and Dom Duarte de Guerra's galleon was found away from Nassau. Some of the retrieved artefacts from Nassau are on display at the Lukut Museum in the town of Port Dickson. Mauritius left the Strait of Malacca on 27 December 1607 and sank on 19 March 1609 off the Cape Lopes Gonçalves, Gabon. The wreckage was found in 1985. Witte Leeuw met his doom of the shores of St. Helena when he and three other VOCs ships surprised two Portuguese caravels anchored in the bay, as they approached the Portuguese recovered initiative and started a cannonade that sent Witte Leeuw to the bottom of the sea with all hands on board. Another VOC ship managed to escape severely damaged but sunk a few days later.
