# Kim McLean
**Kim McLean** (born April 1, 1961; formerly known as **Kim Patton** or **Kim Patton-Johnston**) is a singer-songwriter originally from Greensboro, North Carolina. McLean moved to Nashville to pursue a career in songwriting. A month after arriving in Music City, she signed her first staff songwriting deal with an upstart publishing company, Little Big Town, run by publishing mogul, Woody Bomar.
## Commercial success {#commercial_success}
One year later, she received her first songwriting credit for Terri Gibbs, who had recently received the CMA\'s Horizon Award. From that sprang a continuing career of over 200 songwriting credits including genres of country, bluegrass, Americana, AAA, pop, and blues. In 1999, McLean received a Dove Award for Country Gospel song of the year for \"Count Your Blessing\" which was recorded by The Martins. Other artists who\'ve recorded Kim McLean songs include Tim McGraw, The Happy Goodmans, Trisha Yearwood, Jennifer Hanson, Lee Ann Womack, Billy Gilman, Sierra, and more. Since her first publishing deal with Little Big Town, she has also written for EMI, Centergy, King Lizard, New Haven, Worley World, Skyline, and Sony-Tree. Her own publishing company, Kim McLean Music houses most of her Gospel copyrights.
Her songs have been used on several major network TV shows including *JAG*, *Early Edition*, *As the World Turns*, *The West Wing*, and *Hope & Faith*, which also included a cameo appearance by McLean. Rick Schroder used \"All We Ever Find\", a McLean composition recorded by Tim McGraw, for the feature film *Black Cloud*, about a Native American boxer who made the Olympic boxing team.
In 2001, McLean returned to her maiden name, and launched a solo artist career of her own with the creation of Hippie Chick Twang Records. Her album, *Happy Face* contains the song \"Angels and Eagles\" with Dolly Parton starring as background singer. The title cut of the album, Kim McLean composed with Kenny Alphin, Big Kenny of Big and Rich.
## College and record label founding {#college_and_record_label_founding}
At the same time she began her artist career, she used her songwriting royalties to reclaim a lost dream of a college education, cut short in her teen-age years due to an almost fatal struggle with an eating disorder. Treatment, recovery, and years of hoping led her to Trevecca Nazarene University (TNU) in Nashville, just a stone\'s throw from Music Row. In 2005, McLean graduated with honors and a degree in music business from TNU, and re-enrolled in the fall for the Master\'s Program in Bible. At this time, McLean is teaching songwriting at TNU as Adjunct Professor of Songwriting.
Hippie Chick Twang, the company she founded, has grown from a small indie label co-op that touts \"positive music for women and the men who love them\" to a media company and music publishing house. McLean partnered with one of her co-writers, broadcaster Devon O\'Day to form the Hippie Chick Twang enterprises. In 2006, Kim McLean won the Just Plain Folk Awards\' Americana Song of the Year with \"Forever Everyday\". Her album, *Happy Face* was voted third runner up in the Americana Album of the Year.
*Goodbye My Friend: Celebrating the Memory of a Pet* is a book/CD combination with text written by Devon O\'Day and an accompanying CD written and performed by McLean. It is a gift of condolence and comfort for someone who\'s lost a pet. The project was published by Thomas Nelson in 2007.
## Production
McLean has produced two albums for Sonia Lee, *From the Heart* and *True*. Both records were released by McLean\'s Hippie Chick Twang Records

# Carl Westman
**Ernst Carl Westman** (20 February 1866 -- 23 January 1936) was a Swedish architect and interior designer. He was an early adopter of the National Romantic Style, but turned later to the neo-classical style of the 1920s.
## Biography
Carl Westman was born in Uppsala in 1866. He studied at the Royal Institute of Technology in 1885-1889, and then at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in 1889--1892, in Stockholm. In 1893, he married artist Elin Andersson and moved to the United States where he practiced with architect R. L. Daus in New York City from 1893--1895.
In 1895, he returned to Stockholm to work for architect Aron Johansson (who at that time was the architect working with the new Parliament House (1895--1904) in Stockholm). In 1897, Westman opened his own architect bureau. He became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in 1912 and in 1916 he became the chief architect of the National Swedish Board of Health.
Carl Westman was one of the foremost advocates in Sweden for a return to the national characteristics in architecture. He was one of the first Swedish architects who developed the new Nordic National Romantic Style, a style which took the cultural and building precedents and merged them with ideas from the English Arts and Crafts movement to create a very distinct Swedish architecture often in brick and wood.
Carl Westman\'s Swedish General Medical Association building in Stockholm (1904-1906) was the first building built in the National Romantic Style, with the Röhss Museum in Gothenburg (1910--1914) and Stockholm Court House (1911--1915), providing another two prominent examples. The Stockholm Court House has striking similarities with the medieval Vadstena Castle, and provides a dazzling sight in downtown Stockholm, though the building proves quite inflexible for its purposes.
Later on, Westman worked particularly as a hospital architect, gradually adopting the classical style of the 1920s, with noted examples being the Beckomberga Hospital (1927--1935), and the Karolinska Hospital (1935--1940) which was completed after his death. Whereas the psychiatric hospital at Beckomberga was strictly symmetrically planned, with massive buildings grouped in a fairly functional pattern, the Karolinska hospital strives towards a more functional architecture where the symmetrical design was toned down.
Carl Westman was also a part-time interior designer of furniture and utility supplies such as tiled stoves. He died in Stockholm in 1936

# Grahame Clifford
**Grahame Clifford** (25 December 1905 -- 26 January 1984), was an English singer and actor, known for comic parts in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas and in character roles for the Royal Opera Company, Covent Garden.
In his early career Clifford played a wide range of roles in operas by composers from Handel to Vaughan Williams. He also acted in plays, produced theatre and taught. From 1939 to 1946 he was principal comedian of the D\'Oyly Carte Opera Company playing the comic leads in Gilbert and Sullivan\'s Savoy operas.
After the war Clifford was a founding member of the Covent Garden Opera Company with which he played character roles in the German, French and Italian repertoire. In the last decades of his life he lived in New Zealand, where he performed, taught and directed until his retirement in 1981.
## Life and career {#life_and_career}
### Early years {#early_years}
Clifford was born **Clifford White** in Burnley, Lancashire. He attended the Royal Manchester College of Music from 1925 to 1928, winning the Stocks Massey Scholarship and appeared in *The Marriage of Figaro* at the college in 1928. From 1928 to 1930, he studied at the Royal College of Music in London under a scholarship endowed by Ernest Palmer. Still appearing under his original name, he created the role of Frank Ford in Vaughan Williams\'s opera *Sir John in Love* in a college production in which his fellow-student Richard Watson played Falstaff. By the following year Clifford had adopted his stage name, under which he again appeared as Master Ford in an Oxford Festival production of *Sir John in Love*, conducted, as the premiere had been, by Malcolm Sargent.
Clifford\'s first professional London performance was in Handel\'s opera *Giulio Cesare* in 1930, in a production arranged and conducted by Gervase Hughes. In 1933 he played Constable in Vaughan Williams\'s *Hugh the Drover*, conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham. During the early 1930s he toured with the Carl Rosa Opera Company, with whom his roles included Tonio in *Pagliacci*, Alberich in *Der Ring des Nibelungen*, Dr. Miracle in *The Tales of Hoffmann* and the title part in *Rigoletto*, in which the anonymous critic in *The Observer* judged that he sang well but slightly over-acted.
For several years in the 1930s Clifford left singing to teach and act in plays and to produce plays and operas at the Westminster Theatre. In 1937, he returned to opera, joining the Covent Garden company for the annual seasons at the Royal Opera House as principal baritone. He made his television debut in 1938 as King Claudius in W. S. Gilbert\'s play *Rosencrantz and Guildenstern*.
### D\'Oyly Carte Opera Company {#doyly_carte_opera_company}
In September 1939, at the outbreak of the Second World War, the British government ordered all theatres to close indefinitely. Rupert D\'Oyly Carte cancelled the D\'Oyly Carte Opera Company\'s entire autumn tour and terminated the contracts of all of his performers. When the company started up again at Christmas 1939, Carte\'s principal comedian, Martyn Green, had accepted another engagement and was not available. At Richard Watson\'s suggestion Clifford auditioned for the vacancy and was engaged to play Green\'s roles in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, which were produced in repertory by the company. He was coached by the company\'s director, J. M. Gordon, who had worked with W.S. Gilbert, but Carte encouraged Clifford to recreate all his characters afresh. *The Times* said of his performance in *The Yeomen of the Guard*, \"the final moments in which the heartbroken merryman struggles to hide his grief are played with real beauty. Mr Clifford makes no attempt to imitate his predecessors in the part, and his performance gains immensely as a result.\" The *Times* critic, who had seen the original cast of *The Mikado*, considered Clifford \"second to none\" as Ko-Ko.
From 1939 to 1946, Clifford performed with the D\'Oyly Carte company nearly year-round. His eight roles were: Sir Joseph Porter in *H.M.S. Pinafore*, Major-General Stanley in *The Pirates of Penzance*, Bunthorne in *Patience*, the Lord Chancellor in *Iolanthe*, Ko-Ko in *The Mikado*, Robin Oakapple in *Ruddigore*, Jack Point in *The Yeomen of the Guard*, and the Duke of Plaza-Toro in *The Gondoliers*.

In German operas he ranged from Faninal in *Der Rosenkavalier* and Beckmesser in *Die Meistersinger* to Alberich in *Der Ring des Nibelungen*, alongside guest singers including Kirsten Flagstad, Hans Hotter and Set Svanholm. At the first Covent Garden performances of *Peter Grimes* he played Ned Keene.

From 1953--54 Clifford returned to the Royal Manchester College of Music to teach and to help create a school of opera. For the next two years, he taught privately and performed and directed in London. In 1956 he joined the J. C. Williamson Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company, succeeding Ivan Menzies as principal comedian, to tour in Australia and New Zealand. His co-stars included his old friend Richard Watson, Muriel Brunskill, Helen Roberts and Richard Walker. He moved in 1958 to Dunedin, New Zealand, where he directed a number of theatre and opera companies until 1964, including the Dunedin Repertory Company, Dunedin Opera Company, Shakespeare Company, and Oamaru Operatic Company. He also taught privately from 1963--65.
In the 1960s Clifford toured with the New Zealand Opera Company in roles such as Frosch in *Die Fledermaus*, which he had first played at Covent Garden in the 1930s. He also continued to teach and direct. In 1976, he performed the role of King Gama in *Princess Ida* for the Dunedin Gilbert and Sullivan Company\'s 25th anniversary production. He made a TV film of *Gianni Schicchi*, in the role of Doctor Spinelloccio, in 1979, and retired in 1981.

# Tuvia Tenenbom
**Tuvia Tenenbom** (*טוביה טננבום*; born 1957) is an Israeli-American theater director, playwright and author who is the founding artistic director of the Jewish Theater of New York, the only English-speaking Jewish theater in New York City. Tenenbom was called the \"founder of a new form of Jewish theatre\" by the French *Le Monde* and a \"New Jew\" by the Israeli *Maariv*.
## Writing
Tenenbom has written over sixteen plays for The Jewish Theater of New York, among them: *The Last Virgin*, *Father of the Angels*, and *One Hundred Gates*.
Tenenbom has written for newspapers and websites. Tenenbom was a political columnist for *The Forward* and for the German *Zeit Online*. He is a frequent contributor for *Die Zeit*.
### Books
Tenenbom\'s book *I Sleep in Hitler\'s Room*, published by an imprint of The Jewish Theater of New York, is a psychological travelogue through present-day Germany. The book details the wide spread of modern anti-Semitism in Europe. The book received strong endorsement from the *National Review*, which called it \"a tremendous book.\" In December 2012, a German translation of Tenenbom\'s book titled *Allein unter Deutschen* (*Alone Among Germans*) was published by Suhrkamp Verlag of Berlin. Critics differed widely in their opinions of the work: *Spiegel*\'s Wolfgang Höbel and Jakob Augstein were highly critical of the book. *Die Tageszeitung* (*taz*) was extremely critical, writing that Tenenbom\'s book offered \"zero insight\", while *Jungle World* called the book \"a gem.\" The German-Jewish journalist Henryk M. Broder praised Tenenbom\'s \"one-sidedness,\" comparing him to both Michael Moore and to Sacha Baron Cohen\'s *Borat*. German TV station WDR, which Tenenbom accused in his book of assisting an anti-Semitic group in Cologne, dismissed the book as \"embarrassing or dumb\". Deutschlandfunk advised its listeners not to buy the book and encouraged those who had already bought it to bring it back to the bookstore. Evelyn Finger of *Die Zeit* praised the book, calling it \"courageous\" and describing its content as a \"Kamikaze ride of discovery into Germany\'s national character.\" In Germany\'s Jewish weekly *Jüdische Allgemeine*, which is published by the Jewish community of Germany, Hannes Stein endorsed Tenenbom\'s book.
Tenenbom\'s book *Catch the Jew!*, published by Gefen Publishing recounts the adventures of Tuvia Tenenbom, who wanders around Israel of our time calling himself \"Tobi the German.\" In the course of interviews Tuvia extracts information, sentiments, hidden theories and delusional visions motivating the miscellany of peoples forming the present-day Holy Land. *Catch the Jew!* was published in Israel in September 2014 by Sela Meir publishers and reached the `{{abbr|No.|number}}`{=mediawiki} 1 spot on *Haaretz*, Steimatzky and Yedioth Ahronot best-seller lists, winning praise by Israeli critics. *Mida* called Tenenbom \"the ultimate leftist and humanist who loves all people, is everything the left pretends to be but is not,\" while Channel 2 TV named it \"the most important book in the last five years,\" and *Haaretz* advised its readers to \"read Tenenbom\'s book; we don\'t have the luxury not to know what he\'s telling us.\" In Germany, the book came out in November 2014 by the publishing house of Suhrkamp under the title \"Allein unter Juden\" (*Alone Among Jews*).
In October 2016, Tenenbom\'s third book, *Allein unter Amerikanern* was published by Suhrkamp Verlag in Berlin, Germany. In March 2017 it was published in English by Gefen Publishing under the title *The Lies They Tell*. Tuvia Tenenbom travels through America to find out who are the Americans, the people who make up America. A contributor to *Publishers Weekly* wrote: \"Brutal, irreverent, and cutting, Tenenbom's riveting book aims to disrupt American complacency.\"
Tenenbom\'s fourth book, *Hello, Refugees!* came out in English in July 2017, following its publication in German by Suhrkamp Verlag in March 2017, under the title *Allein unter Flüchtlingen*. In *Hello, Refugees!* Tenenbom chronicles his visits to many refugee camps in Germany, reporting of horrific conditions in most of those camps. Additionally, *Hello, Refugees!* contains interviews with politicians and activists from the far-right to the far-left, whom he asked to explain to him why has Germany taken in more refugees than other European countries.
Tenenbom\'s fifth book, *The Taming of the Jew,* came out in English in February 2021, following its publication in Germany in February 2020, under the title *Allein unter Briten*. In *The Taming of the Jew*, Tenenbom chronicles the rise of anti-Semitism in the UK and the Jewish community\'s reluctance to effectively deal with it. David Herman, reviewing the book for the British *The Article*, writes: \"This is a frightening book and deserves to be read.\"
Tenenbom\'s sixth book, *Careful, Beauties Ahead!* was published in May 2024. Originally published in German under the title *Gott spricht Jiddisch* by the Berlin publishing company of Suhrkamp in Germany,\'\' where it was a Spiegel Best Seller. The book recounts Tenenbom\'s journey in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem, where he lived for over a year. Tenenbom examines the various ultra-Orthodox groups in Israel in general and in Jerusalem in particular, recounts interviews with various Rebbes (Hasidic Grand Rabbis) and leaders of \"Lithuanian\" yeshivas, visits the homes of many Haredi families, and chats with whomever he meets while walking around

}}`{=mediawiki}
is the second single by Japanese heavy metal band X Japan, then named X, released on April 10, 1986.
## Background and release {#background_and_release}
\"Orgasm\" was the first release by drummer Yoshiki\'s own record label Extasy Records. Unusually, the band\'s name, X, is written on the cover in Japanese as `{{nihongo2|エックス}}`{=mediawiki}. All 1,500 copies sold out, and in his biography Yoshiki says an additional pressing of 2,500 copies was scheduled, but was cancelled as guitarist Jun and bassist Hikaru had left the band.
The song is notoriously known for the obvious sexual themes presented within the lyrics. Of particular notice is the fact that the track begins with heavy panting and ends with explosions, seemingly to emulate sexual climax. The title track as well as the self-titled \"X\" would later be re-recorded for the band\'s 1989 second album *Blue Blood*. While Yoshiki is credited with the lyrics and music for both these songs on the single, the *Blue Blood* recordings credit his alias \"Hitomi Shiratori\" for their lyrics instead.
## Legacy
\"X\" has become a signature song of X Japan, being performed at nearly all of their concerts. Numerous times during a pause in a performance of the track a band member, usually vocalist Toshi, will yell \"We are\...\" and the audience responds with \"X!\" before the musicians start the last leg of the song. This was used as the title to the 2016 documentary film about the group, *We Are X*.
On November 21, 1993, SME Records released `{{Nihongo|''X²''|ダブルエックス|Daburu Ekkusu|lit. "Double-X"}}`{=mediawiki}, a short film based on the manga series *X* by Clamp and set to X Japan\'s music. It features a slideshow of the manga\'s artwork set to a medley of X Japan\'s \"Silent Jealousy\", \"Kurenai\" and \"Endless Rain\" and a music video for the song \"X\" directed by Shigeyuki Hayashi.
Inzargi, vocalist of Megamasso, covered \"X\" for his 2012 cover album.

## History
Equivox Incorporated, owner of Provo radio station KEYY, received the construction permit for a new radio station in Provo on September 12, 1974, though it had to be granted again on March 12, 1975, because the check did not clear. The station was then built as KRMQ; however, it was not built with strict adherence to the construction permit. In 1981, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Equivox \$20,000 for its \"inexperience, undue haste, and a careless disregard for errors\".
Equivox was purchased by B. Eric Rhoads in November 1981; Rhoads had been trying to buy the stations for 18 months. After stunting with The Beatles music, the station relaunched as adult contemporary KLRZ \"Colors 95\" on January 1, 1982. Under Rhoads, KLRZ emphasized promotion, at one point putting a car on a billboard.
Equivox sold KLRZ to General Broadcasting Corporation of Los Angeles in 1986.`{{r|Salt860215}}`{=mediawiki} The station was initially relaunched as KBNG that August before shifting to a soft album oriented rock format under KTOU call letters the next year.

The format lasted a few years before the station became \"Hot 94-9\" KZHT, and the format changed to rhythmic Top 40 with a hybrid mix of Dance and Modern tracks.
### Top 40 (1997--2003) {#top_40_19972003}
The station, as Top 40 \"94-9 ZHT\" was popular among youth along the Wasatch Front. KZHT moved up the dial to 97.1 FM in December 2003, taking over KISN-FM and maintained the Top 40 format.
### Rock (2004--2013) {#rock_20042013}
The former KZHT became KHTB with a Rock format branded as \"94-9 The Blaze\" the following month on January 14, 2004. The reason for the move was primarily based on signal. The 94.9 transmitter is located on Lake Mountain south of Salt Lake, and west of Provo, while 97.1\'s transmitter is located on Farnsworth Peak.
In August 2008, Citadel acquired the frequency and \"The Blaze\" moved to 97.5 which was then the defunct KOAY. KHTB then became known as 94.9 Z-Rock, an active rock station going up against KXRK. Sister station KBER moved to classic rock at the same time. Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011.
### Alternative rock (2013--2015) {#alternative_rock_20132015}
On September 2, 2013, KHTB shifted to an alternative rock format, branded as \"ALT 94.9\".
### Classic hip hop (2015--2017) {#classic_hip_hop_20152017}
On September 4, 2015, 94.9 began simulcasting on KENZ as part of a format transfer. 94.9 and 101.9 simulcasted for the weekend, while directing listeners to the latter frequency. On September 8, at 5 pm, KHTB ended the simulcast with KENZ and switched to a classic hip hop format, branded as \"94.9 The Vibe\". On September 23, KHTB and KENZ swapped call letters.
### Top 40 (2017--present) {#top_40_2017present}
On January 25, 2017, at 4 p.m., KENZ flipped to contemporary hit radio, branded as \"Power 94-9\". The flip brings the format back to the 94.9 frequency for the first time in 13 years

# Urith
**Urith** (also known in Welsh as **Iwerydd**) was a Christian woman from the Westcountry of Great Britain who was alleged to have been martyred in the 8th century, and subsequently revered as a saint. The name was not uncommon in the English county of Devon. Her feast day is 8 July and her shrine is located in the North Devon village of Chittlehampton. Her name is also known in Latin as **Hieritha** and occasionally corrupted to **Erth**.
## History
Urith is a fairly obscure figure. John Leland makes no mention of her, nor does Capgrave\'s *Nova Legenda Angliae*, and Nicholas Roscarock knew little of her apart from the fact of her existence. A book of her life, containing a record of her miracles, was at one time present in her shrine, and appears to be the basis of a rhyming poem in Latin now held by Trinity College, Cambridge. According to both this and William Camden, her legend was as follows:
### Legend
Legend says Saint Urith was born at East Stowford in Swimbridge parish, in the English county of Devon, to an Anglo-Saxon father and unknown mother. She was converted to Christianity by St Kea, lived as a hermit in nearby Chittlehampton, where she founded a church. At the urging of an allegedly jealous, and perhaps pagan, stepmother, some female haymakers beheaded the girl with a scythe, during a period of severe drought. When she fell to the ground, a spring of water burst from the spot and flowers, thought to be scarlet pimpernels, sprang forth wherever a drop of her blood was sprinkled. These last elements of her legend are the same as those found in the Lives of Sidwell and Juthwara. Urith was buried near the site of her martyrdom and a church was later built above her grave.

# Urith
## Veneration
Saint Urith\'s holy well still stands at the east end of Chittlehampton, now called by the corrupt name of Taddy Well or Saint Teara\'s Well. Many of the pilgrims had eye diseases who came to anoint themselves with the holy water. There are still two stone crosses in the parish which may have been guideposts to the shrine. The exact burial place of Saint Urith was probably in the small chapel on the north side of the sanctuary of the parish church, which originally contained an image of the saint. This chapel now doubles as a passage leading to a vestry. There is reason to believe that a medieval slab there may still cover Saint Urith\'s body. There was a regular pilgrimage to her shrine on her feast day, 8 July, until 1539. Offerings left there were sufficient to rebuild the church tower, reputedly the finest in Devon. Even in the last year of pilgrimages, the vicar received £50 from his share of the offerings. This was three times his income from tithes and glebe. By 1540 the saint\'s statue had been removed from the church. The pulpit of the church, carved around 1500, survives and this depicts Urith holding a martyr\'s palm and the foundation stone of the church. A modern statue now stands in a niche high up on the exterior of the tower and she is also shown in a stained-glass window of the 16th century found at Nettlecombe in Somerset.
Continuing the tradition, the pilgrimage has now been revived and villagers still celebrate the legend on her feast day, with a procession to the well. The Trinity College hymn is sung by the congregation, the well is opened and water drawn from it and blessed .
### Trinity College hymn {#trinity_college_hymn}
*\"Sing, Chittlehampton, sing!*\
*Let all Devon\'s meadows ring with Holy Gladness for our Saint\'s renown*,\
*And thou*,\
*Blest maiden pray*,\
*that we on this our day*,\
*May bear our cross and win our heavenly crown*\".
## Devonshire girls baptised Urith {#devonshire_girls_baptised_urith}
- Hyeritha Trefusis, a daughter of Robert Edward Trefusis (1843--1930), vicar of Chittlehampton 1867--89 and later suffragan Bishop of Crediton. She became known to local parishioners as \"Miss Urith\".
- Urith Pole, a daughter of Sir John Pole, 3rd Baronet (1649--1708), of Shute, Devon, and wife of Sir John Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet (1670--1755), of Nettlecombe Court in Somerset. A stained-glass figure of St Urith survives in an early 16th-century window in Nettlecombe Church, with the Latin inscription *Sancta Uritha*.
- Urith Shapcott (born 1617), wife of Sir Courtenay Pole, 2nd Baronet (1618--1695). She was the daughter of the lawyer Thomas Shapcott (1587--1670) of Shapcott in the parish of Knowstone, Devon, by his wife Urith Sotherin (d. 1661) of Cheshire.
- Urith Chichester, a daughter of Sir John Chichester (1519/20 -- 1569) of Raleigh in Devon, who in 1591 married John Trevelyan of Nettlecombe Court in Somerset. It may have been in memory of this marriage that the existing stained-glass figure of a female saint (possibly St Sidwell) in a window of Nettlecombe Church was given the inscription *Sancta Uritha*

# San Fabiano Castle
**San Fabiano Castle** (*Castello San Fabiano*) is a 13th-century castle and wine producing farm estate in Monteroni d\'Arbia, Siena, Italy, built by King Charles of Anjou. The church of San Fabiano on the estate dates from the year 867 and is dedicated to Pope Fabian, one of the first Christian martyrs killed in the Coliseum. It is adjacent to two rivers, the Arbia and the Biena, and surrounded by 1800 acre of vineyards, oak forests, durum wheat fields, and corn fields.
The estate\'s vineyard produces Bianco d\'Arbia wine, a D.O.C. wine made with Trebbiano grapes, and a red wine made from Sangiovese grapes. In total some 1,000 bottles per year were currently produced.
When Count Giuseppe and Countess Giovanna Fiorentini bought the San Fabiano farm estate, there were some 300 people farming the land, producing 180,000 liters of wine yearly, breeding Chianina cows, producing meat for the local specialty, the Fiorentina steak, pigs, pheasants, and chickens. In 1956, Fiorentini acquired better equipment and reduced the agricultural activities to a core business of crops.
In 1963, the Italian government introduced drastic reforms of the agricultural regulations, requiring estate owners and landlords to hire the farmers working the land, and pay them a salary. The national reform ended the centennial rules of *mezzadria*, a system where landowners could have farmers (*contadini*) living in the farmhouses and working the land, splitting the output of their work 50/50 with the landlord instead of paying rent and receiving salaries. As a result of the reforms, the farmers were forced to leave the land, and twenty-five farmhouses around the castle were abandoned. The farmhouses remained unoccupied for some 30 years. Some of them have been restored by the Fiorentini brothers, and some have been sold.
In the 1970s, a socialist Italian government eased restrictions on import of Cuban cigars, which forced the closure of the Kentucky Tuscan Cigars manufacturing plant on the castle grounds

# Detroit Yacht Club
The **Detroit Yacht Club** (**DYC**) is a private yacht club in Detroit, Michigan, located on its own island off of Belle Isle in the Detroit River between the MacArthur Bridge and the DTE generating plant. The DYC clubhouse is a restored 1920s Mediterranean-style villa that is the largest yacht club clubhouse in the United States.
DYC is a member of the Detroit Regional Yacht-racing Association (DRYA).
## History
The club was founded by Detroit sailing enthusiasts in 1868. The first Yacht Club buildings, a small clubhouse and boatshed, were constructed in the late 1870s at the foot of McDougall Street, just south of Jefferson Avenue. In the early 1880s, the members were divided over the club\'s growing social activities, and in 1882, one group broke away to form the Michigan Yacht Club. The remainder elected James Skiffington Commodore (the club\'s title equivalent to the \"President\" of other recreational and social organizations) in 1884.
The original Belle Isle clubhouse was built at a cost of \$10,000 (with a further \$2,000 for furnishings) in 1891, but burned down in 1904. A new facility was quickly built at the same site.
In 1923, the present-day clubhouse was dedicated; its construction had cost more than one million dollars, the work of architect George D. Mason, who also designed the Detroit Masonic Temple (the world\'s largest) and the opulent Gem Theatre. By the end of the following year, membership had reached 3000. Prominent member and Commodore Gar Wood set world speed records in hydroplanes, and with his Gold Cup victories brought the club to national and even worldwide prominence. Beginning in 1921, the DYC started sponsoring the hydroplane races. Membership declined dramatically during the Great Depression, and some services were suspended.
In 1946, all bonds had been paid, and the club was debt-free. The club\'s women formed the first women\'s sailing organization in the country and raced the club\'s catboats. During the next decade, dining facilities would be expanded, and theater-quality projection equipment installed in the ballroom, where Sunday evening screenings became a regular feature of club life.
During the 1960s, an outdoor, Olympic-size swimming pool was added, and the West End docks were built, increasing the number of boat wells to over 350. The DYC has long been a symbol of privilege and exclusivity. Up until the 1970s, Black applicants were routinely rejected, until psychiatrist Dr. Leonard Ellison filed a lawsuit, and became the first Black member.
More recently, the club added additional facilities like a fitness center and opened the Bitter End lounge area to allow for women to enter. Before the restoration, the Bitter End could only be accessed through the men\'s locker room. The newly restored Bitter End is also used for hosting small parties.
In 2018, the Detroit Yacht Club celebrated its sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary. Raymond W. Batt Jr. was elected to serve as the Commodore of the Detroit Yacht Club during the sesquicentennial year.
## Clubhouse
The Detroit Yacht Club clubhouse was designed by architect George D. Mason in a Mediterranean Revival style. The building sits on a man-made island constructed from fill dirt excavated from other construction projects. The cornerstone of the building was laid in 1922 by Gar Wood and the building was completed in 1923. The clubhouse is a rambling, informal structure. Of particular note are the two grand staircases and the wood-panelled second-floor ballroom

# No. 22 Group RAF
**No. 22 Group Royal Air Force** (**22 Gp**) is one of six groups currently active in the Royal Air Force (RAF), falling under the responsibility of Deputy Commander-in-Chief (Personnel) in Air Command. Its previous title up until 2018 was **No. 22 (Training) Group**. The group is responsible for RAF training policy and controlling the Royal Air Force College and the RAF\'s training stations. As such, it is the direct successor to Training Group. 22 Group provides training to all three service branches of the British Armed Forces; namely the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy, and the British Army.
## History
Although No. 22 Group was due to be formed on 1 April 1918, the same day as the Royal Air Force was established, it was not activated until `{{Start date and age|1918|07|01|df=y}}`{=mediawiki}, in the RAF\'s North Western Area. It was activated at RAF East Fortune, but moved its headquarters to the Station Hotel, Stirling. The next month, on 8 August 1918, it received the designation \'Operations\', making its full title **No. 22 (Operations) Group**. It controlled No. 78 (Operations) Wing, and stations at Auldbar, Chathill (airship station), Dundee, East Fortune, Kirkwall / Orkney, Longside (airship station), Luce Bay, RAF Machrihanish, Peterhead, and Strathberg. With the post First World War Royal Air Force force reductions, No. 22 Group was disbanded on `{{End date and age|1919|05|30|df=y}}`{=mediawiki}.
The next creation of No. 22 Group came on `{{Start date and age|1926|04|12|df=y}}`{=mediawiki}, when the group was re-formed from No. 7 Group within Inland Area. The group\'s designation was **No. 22 (Army Co-operation) Group**, and its headquarters was at South Farnborough. On 17 February 1936, No. 22 Group was transferred from the control of Inland Area to that of the Air Defence of Great Britain. Later that same year, on 1 May, the group was raised to command status. However, only just over two months later, on 14 July, the newly created command was reduced back to group status, becoming part of Fighter Command on the day of Fighter Command\'s creation. In 1938, the group comprised 26 Squadron at RAF Catterick; RAF Hawkinge with 2 Squadron; RAF Odiham and No. 50 (Army Cooperation) Wing, with 4, 13, and 53 Squadrons; RAF Old Sarum with the School of Army Co-operation and 16 and No. 59 Squadron RAFs; and group headquarters and No. 1 Anti-Aircraft Cooperation Unit at South Farnborough.
On 24 June 1940, No. 22 Group was once again raised to command status and later that year, on 1 December, the new command was expanded to become RAF Army Cooperation Command.
On 1 August 1943, the group was re-established as **No. 22 (Technical Training) Group** in Technical Training Command out of 20 and 72 Groups, with its HQ at Buntingsdale Hall, Market Drayton. It was responsible for all training in ground trades, from electronics to cooking. The group continued in its training function for nearly thirty years, until it was disbanded 31 January 1972.
### Training Group Defence Agency {#training_group_defence_agency}
**Training Group** (**TG**) was formed on 1 April 1994 from the AOC Training Units with Personnel and Training Command its controlling formation. Prior to 1 April 2006 Training Group held British Government agency status, operating as the **Training Group Defence Agency** (**TGDA**). Upon the loss of its agency status, the formation became known simply as Training Group. The Group had seven areas of responsibility:

# Desmosine
**Desmosine** is an amino acid found uniquely in elastin, a protein found in connective tissue such as skin, lungs, and elastic arteries.
Desmosine is a component of elastin and cross links with its isomer, isodesmosine, giving elasticity to the tissue. Detection of desmosine in urine, plasma or sputum samples can be a marker for elastin breakdown due to high elastase activity related to certain diseases.
## Structure
Desmosine and its isomer isodesmosine are both composed of four lysine residues, allowing for bonding to multiple peptide chains. The four lysine groups combine to form a pyridinium nucleus, which can be reduced to neutralize positive charge associated, and increase the hydrophobicity. The four lysines form side chains around the pyridinium nucleus with exposed carboxyl groups. The difference between desmosines and isodesmosines are an exchange of a lysine side chain on carbon 1 with a proton on carbon 5. Desmosine is associated with alanine, bonding with it on the N terminal side. It is this alanine association that allows it to bond well with pairs of tropoelastin, to form elastin and elastin networks.
Desmosine and isodesmosine are unable to be differentiated thus far because of the lack of technology. The differentiation would be helpful in order to understand desmosine and its properties better. Currently, mass spectrometry is used and aids in the release of characteristic fragments which would help with differentiation, especially in larger peptides.
## Synthesis
Desmosine has pathways for form multiple conformations of itself, both through biosynthesis and through man-made systems.
### Biosynthesis
The formation of desmosines occurs within the formation of precursor tropoelastin. The tropoelastin initially lacks any of these complex binding molecules, and has a similar make up to that of the final stage elastin, however it contains a greater amount of lysine side chains, which directly corresponds with desmosines later found. These precursor molecules are processed through Dehydrogenation, along with dihydroD, and ultimately form elastin bound with desmosine. Through the Lysyl oxidase enzyme, lysyl c- amino groups is oxidized, forming allysine. This spontaneously condenses with other allysine molecules to form a bifunctional cross-link, allysine aldol, or with a c-amino group of lysine, forming dehydrolysinonorleucine. These compounds are then further condensed to form a tetrafunctional pyridinium cross-links of desmosines and isodesmosines. These reactions occur with lysines in areas of high alanine, due to alanine having a small side chain that won\'t block the enzyme binding to the lysine groups.
### Lab Synthesis {#lab_synthesis}
Desmosines can be synthesized in a lab through a few methods, like palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The various treatments can create slightly different confirmations.
## Bonding
Some models of bonding for desmosines, created through the study of bovine ligament elastin, suggest a combination of desmosine and secondary cross-linking to bind together peptide chains. This model has desmosine bonding near an alanine on the peptide chain, then to 3 other amino acids on the 2 peptide chains, despite being able to bond to up to 4 chains. It has been suggested that the secondary cross-linking occurs with either desmosine or lysinonorleucine, which maintains an alpha helix conformation in alanine rich sections on peptides.
Both isodesmosine and desmosine can have similar bonding sites in elastin, though it rarely shown this way in nature. They more often will appear in close proximity to each other on the peptide chain.
### Bonding in elastin/collagen {#bonding_in_elastincollagen}
Desmosine is found to have a hydrogen bond donor count of eight and a hydrogen bond acceptor count of twelve.

# Desmosine
## Function
Elastin, a protein in the extracellular matrix, provides elasticity and its soluble precursor is tropoelastin. When elastin cross links it produces desmosine and isodesmosine. When desmosine is mentioned, it is usually grouped with isodesmosine, the other tetrafunctional amino acid that is specific to elastin.
Demosine can not only be found in elastin, but also in urine, plasma, sputum, and there are different ways to identify and measure these quantities. This means that it is used as a biomarker for elastin degradation which can be a detection for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Desmosine is a potential biomarker for matrix degradation. Desmosine and Isodesmosine are unable to be differentiated thus far because of the lack of technology. The differentiation would be helpful in order to understand desmosine and its properties better. Currently, mass spectrometry is used and aids in the release of characteristic fragments which would help with differentiation, especially in larger peptides.
### Material properties {#material_properties}
The molecular weight of this rare amino acid that is found in elastin is 526.611 g/mol. The desmosine pyridinium ring has three allysyl side chains and one unaltered lysyl side chain. It has been tested to show that the pyridinium core of Desmosine remains intact even at very high collision energies.
#### Current usage in medicine {#current_usage_in_medicine}
Desmosine is currently used as a biomarker in the medical field. It is measured in order to monitor elastin breakdown. Since it is connected to the degradation of elastin, it can be used to identify COPD. Desmosine is one of the oldest biomarkers and was developed in the 1960s, but the first time it was correlated to lung elastin content was in the 80s through urinary excretion. Biomarkers are judged in 6 ways:
1. Biomarkers should be central to the pathophysiological process
2. They should be a ''true'' surrogate end-point
3. Biomarkers should be stable and vary with disease progression only
4. The severity of the condition should relate to the concentration of the Biomarker
5. Progression should be predicted
6. Effective treatment should show change
Even though desmosine can check-off the first three it cannot check off the rest. And this is why research is being done to further the validation of using desmosine as a biomarker for certain diseases like COPD.

# Desmosine
## Application of desmosine {#application_of_desmosine}
Because desmosine is most prevalent in mature elastin, it can be consistently located and measured in urine samples after elastin breakdown in the human body. Desmosine does not exist elsewhere within the body, nor can it be sourced from elsewhere outside the body, which isolates it as a key marker for elastin breakdown. Indeed, desmosine \"has been studied as a marker of elastin breakdown in several chronic pulmonary conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and chronic tobacco use.\" In one study, hyperoxic mice that formed alveoli as a result of lung maturation also showed drastic changes in collagen and elastin within the lungs, as well as a change in cross-linking. In another study, deceased patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were reported to have higher concentrations of desmosine in their urine than those patients who survived ARDS, and higher concentrations of desmosine revealed that \"more severe damage to the extracellular matrix occurred in the most critically ill \[acute lung injury\] patients.\"
However, it has been argued in the same study that desmosine does \"not correlate well with markers of disease severity,\" correlating only weakly with age. Instead, it is suggested \"that desmosine may be more useful in understanding the pathogenesis of ALI and less useful as a marker of disease severity." The current standard for measuring lung disease progression, for example, is measured through the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) compared to the maximum lung capacity; in other words, the volume of air a person can exhale from full lungs in one second compared to their maximum lung capacity. This method, while simple and physiologically thorough, has biological limitations, and so a superior biological marker is being sought after. Desmosine has been studied as one such biological marker, with studies in the 1980s to link urinary desmosine concentration with elastin breakdown in the lungs. Though large amounts of data have been collected with regards to desmosine\'s potential as a replacement biological marker in determining disease progression, some believe there is still insufficient evidence for desmosine to meet and fill this need.
In orthopedics, one study examined equine tendons and how their increasing stiffness and fatigue with age was due to fragmentation of the elastin in the tendons. The superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) and the common digital extensor tendon (CDET) were analyzed for elastin composition, comparing older tendons to younger ones. While both the CDET and the SDFT are positional tendons, enabling muscles to move the skeleton, the SDFT also stores energy and is far more elastic than the CDET due to \"specialization of the \[interfascicular matrix\] to enable repeated interfascicular sliding and recoil.\" Desmosine concentrations were reported to be far greater in new tendons than in tendons that had partially degraded, suggesting that not only is there fragmentation of tendon elastin with age, but also a smaller total composition of elastin within the SDFT, though this was not true in the case of the CDET examined.
Research has also been performed to determine the cross-linking structure of elastin, in an effort to better understand the relationship between elastin and pertinent diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and aortic aneurysms. A study was conducted to find this structure through synthesis of a cyclic peptide containing desmosine, to partially mimic elastin in the hopes of running mass spectrometry on the peptide to reveal the cross-linking structure. The elastin mimic was eventually synthesized successfully, and though work has not yet been done to clarify the cross-linking structure of elastin, preliminary mass spectrometry demonstrated the presence of the expected ion formed from the chemical reactions used

# Tazama Pipeline
The **Tazama Pipeline**, also **Tanzania--Zambia Crude Oil Pipeline**, is a 1710 km long crude oil pipeline from the port of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, to the Indeni Petroleum Refinery in Ndola, Zambia.
## Location
The Tazama pipeline extends from the Indian Ocean port of Dar es Salaam, in Tanzania to the industrial city of Ndola, Zambia, in the Copperbelt Province, close to the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The pipeline travels approximately 1060 miles (1,710 kilometers). For 954 km the pipeline has a diameter of 8 in, and for the remaining 798 km, the pipeline diameter is 12 in. According to the map at the pipeline website, the pipeline passes through or near the following cities and towns: Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Epass, Iringa, Mbeya, Chinsali, Mpika, Kalonje and Ndola.
## Overview
The Tazama Crude Oil Pipeline was constructed to transport crude oil from the port of Dar-es-Salaam into landlocked Zambia, at an affordable, sustainable economic cost. When installed in 1968, the pipeline had a carrying capacity of 1100000 tonne annually. By 2002, carrying capacity had deteriorated to 600000 tonne annually.
Associated infrastructure owned by Tazama in Tanzania, includes the tank farm in Dar es Salaam consisting of six storage tanks onshore, which comprise three tanks of 36000 m3 capacity combined and three tanks of combined capacity of 41000 m3. There are seven pump stations in total between Dar-es-Salaam and Ndola; five stations in Tanzania and two in Zambia.
## Ownership
The pipeline is owned and operated by a company called *Tazama Pipelines Limited*, with headquarters in Ndola Zambia and an office in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. **TAZAMA** stands for **Tanzania Zambia Mafuta**. \"Mafuta\" means \"Oil\" in Kiswahili. The table below illustrates the shareholding in the shares of stock of Tazama Pipelines Limited.
Rank Name of owner Percentage ownership

## Operation
Due to age and lack of regular maintenance, the Tazama pipeline suffers corrosion and develops leaks from time to time. Repair of those leaks is necessary to avoid environmental degradation.
Due to inability by Tazama Pipeline and Indeni Petroleum Refinery to supply all the refined petroleum products that Zambia requires, in the desired quantities, the government of Zambia and that of Tanzania, are contemplating building a 1349 km refined petroleum products pipeline at an estimated cost of US\$1.5 billion.

# Frank Clancy (sheriff)
**Frank Clancy** (September 6, 1892 -- December 22, 1960) was a sheriff and alleged American Mafia associate.
An old time political boss, Clancy had recently appeared before the Kefauver Committee and had testified that he had allowed organized crime figures to place 5,000 slot machines in his parish. It was also claimed he had earned a percentage of gambling casinos operated by acting New Orleans crime family boss Carlos Marcello, in which he maintained the right to hire employees below management position. Although Clancy\'s testimony did implicate Marcelo, it had relatively little impact on his gambling operations.
Clancy had apparently been talking to federal authorities regarding gambling operations in Louisiana but following an attempt on his life he soon stopped cooperating with authorities.
## Attempt on life and mistaken victim {#attempt_on_life_and_mistaken_victim}
Frank Bourg (1890--1955) was a New Orleans bank teller and an apparently mistaken victim of a failed contract murder on a mafia associate Sheriff Frank Clancy.
A longtime New Orleans resident, Frank Bourg had been hospitalized following a heart attack in April 1955 when an unidentified assailant, possibly posing as a visitor, entered his room and smashed the skull of the 64-year-old bank teller as he slept. Although evidence pointed to a gangland slaying, police could find no evidence of criminal associations in connection other than his nearly 30 years as a local bank teller.
However, it was later theorized that Bourg had been mistaken for Sheriff Frank Clancy, who occupied the next room as a police report stated \"\...from the time Clancy\...entered the hospital, he\...had a guard outside of his door but the guard was removed-on the morning of the attack-by someone representing themselves as the sheriff\'s wife.\"
Although the gangland slayings of innocent victims usually bring considerable unwanted attention and pressure from law enforcement, Marcello\'s organization suffered little retaliation from local authorities. While a nurse\'s aid gave a description of a suspect, she recanted her testimony three days later.

# Gund
**Gund Manufacturing Company** is an American manufacturer of plush stuffed animals. The company is based in Edison, New Jersey, and distributes throughout the United States and Canada as well as in Europe, Japan, Australia, and South America. Gund is currently run by third generation family owner Bruce Raiffe whose grandfather Jacob Swedlin purchased the company from the original founder (Adolph Gund) in 1925. Their slogan is \"Gotta Getta Gund\".
The company is best known for its line of teddy bears, and holds or has held licensing agreements with companies such as *Sesame Street*, Peter Rabbit, Curious George, Studio Ghibli, Hello Kitty, *PAW Patrol*, and Toca Boca. It has won multiple awards during its 120+ years and was also the face of a United States Postal Service stamp. Gund is headquartered in Edison, New Jersey and currently a division of Spin Master, which acquired the company from Enesco in March 2018. In the 1980s, China became one of Gund\'s primary sources for stuffed toys.
## History
### 1898--1925: Formation through retirement of Adolf Gund {#formation_through_retirement_of_adolf_gund}
Gund was founded in 1898 by Adolf Gund. He was born in Germany and resided in Norwalk, Connecticut before settling in New York City. He started Gund as a small toy and novelty company which was incorporated under the name Gund Manufacturing Company in 1910. In the early years, Gund used GEE as the company slogan in advertising on product labels. Gund produced its first products in loft factories around New York City. It moved from location to location as it expanded, starting off on Third Avenue and eventually moving to Ninth Street by 1922. The moves were all prompted by the need for larger manufacturing quarters.
In the early 1900s, Gund received numerous patents that introduced various mechanisms into plush toys. Once such patent was for what was described as a \"springing dog.\" The design called for a mechanism to be placed inside the stuffed animal which would cause it to jump, \"bringing it to life.\" Another patent was for a walking mechanism which allowed the plush to walk. One of the company\'s most notable patents was for a \"ride-on duck\" which was a duck for children to ride on. It had wheels that operated a working duck bill which moved up and down as the wheels turned. The ride-on duck was produced by Gund for approximately 10 years commencing in 1912. Gund also secured many other patents for toys such as the wind-up walking plush, dancing toys, and walking toys.
Gund created many of the industry standards in its early years, including safety standards and the manufacturing processes for toys. It continued to market its products under the moniker GEE up until the late 1920s, as evidenced in various advertisements in *Playthings* and other toy magazines. The company was eventually sold when Adolf Gund retired in 1925.

## History
### 1925--1968: New ownership and expansion {#new_ownership_and_expansion}
During the early years of the company, Adolf Gund was the mentor to Jacob Swedlin, a Russian immigrant who came to the United States in 1907. Gund taught Swedlin to become a cutter and pattern maker, teaching him the ins and outs of the company. When Gund retired in 1925, he sold the company to Swedlin for \$1,500. Swedlin brought his brothers Abe and John on board with the company, which began rapid expansion. Jacob oversaw design and production, Abe acted as the chief financial officer, and John ran sales and promotions.
Some of the most notable Gund products in the 1930s included its line of Easter Bunnies which continue to be one of its most popular products. It also introduced \"puppy purses,\" a stuffed animal dog that doubled as a purse. Gund also became the first licensor of cartoon characters, producing plush toy versions of Popeye, Mickey Mouse, Felix the Cat, and Tigger. Its relationship with The Walt Disney Company began in 1947 and contributed to expansion of Gund. The deal with Disney allowed Gund to supply every major toy retailer in the United States with licensed Disney merchandise.
In the 1940s, Gund received trade mark registrations for two versions of its logos, both of which can be seen on its products during that time. One of the logos was a lower-case \"g\" with bunny ears which became synonymous with the company and its products. The popularity of the logo sparked the creation of a new plush character known as \"Gundy.\" Gundy became the company mascot and grew into merchandising that included the \"Gund Club.\"
During World War II in the early 1940s, Gund did not manufacture its products according to prior demand. To support the war effort, Gund only offered its products on a quota allotment. It also produced a doll in an army uniform as its way to encourage the purchase of war bonds. After the war, Gund began rapid expansion, releasing new products, including many new Disney characters in conjunction with the opening of Disneyland in California in 1955. It moved into a new manufacturing center in Brooklyn in 1957, a location that would produce its toys until 1974.
### 1969--1990: Further expansion and the Raiffe family {#further_expansion_and_the_raiffe_family}
By 1969, Gund had become dependent on its licensing agreement with Disney for the majority of its business. Herbert Raiffe, the son-in-law of John Swedlin, became the company president in 1969 after Swedlin\'s passing. Raiffe began moving Gund away from its licensing agreements and shifted the focus to internal design. The company launched new products that included the \"Bag Full of Laughs,\" a sound mechanism placed in a fabric sack and sewn into a plush.
During the 1970s, Gund expanded its product line by releasing toys and plush popular in other countries. This included beanies and Gonk toys. In 1972, Gund was able to expand again thanks to Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing, two panda bears gifted to the United States from China as part of that country\'s panda diplomacy efforts. The plush industry had a huge demand for panda stuffed animals, with Gund leading the way with manufacturing and distribution. Raiffe was credited by publications such as Forbes for Gund marketing efforts of the bears.
The 1980s brought about one of Gund\'s most prominent branding campaigns, known as \"Gotta Getta Gund.\" The campaign is credited as making Gund one of the most recognized toy companies in the United States. During this decade, Gund also expanded its offering of stuffed bears, releasing its collectible series of bears called the Signature Collection. Each bear was signed by Rita Raiffe, Gund\'s Director of Design, and sold in limited quantities. In 1986 it released 60 new items, the most ever since the company was formed.
### 1990--2014: 100th anniversary and postage stamp {#th_anniversary_and_postage_stamp}
In 1990, Gund appeared before a US Senate committee to lobby for extending most favoured nation (MFN) status to China, stating \"the MFN duty status that China has enjoyed enabled China to become one of Gund\'s primary sources for stuffed toys\".
In 1993, Bruce Raiffe became President of Gund. Prior to that time he served as the company\'s Marketing Director and later Vice President.
Gund celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1998. As part of the celebration, Gund auctioned off a 100th anniversary bear which raised \$100,000 for four children\'s charities. The bear was one-of-a-kind and purchased by Yoshihiro Sekiguchi who placed it in one of three Teddy bear museums he owned in Japan. It was the 100th anniversary of the Theodore Roosevelt \"teddy bear\" that brought about Gund\'s next milestone. In 2002, the United States Postal Service used a 1948 teddy bear of Gund to grace a 37 cent stamp in honor of the event.
Gund entered into a licensing agreement with Sesame Street in 2003.

## History
### 2008--present: Purchase by Enesco and beyond {#present_purchase_by_enesco_and_beyond}
Gund was purchased by Enesco, the giftware manufacturer best known for its line of Precious Moments figurines. Gund joined Enesco\'s other recently purchased brands which included Boyds Bears, Our Name is Mud, philoSphie\'s and Jubilee Art. Bruce Raiffe remained with the company on a consultant type basis, but returned in 2011 when he was again appointed president of Gund.
Gund continued to take on new licensing agreements after being purchased by Enesco. One of the most notable was that for the Uglydolls line of plush toys, which it signed in 2012. The same year it signed an agreement for *Boo, the World\'s Cutest Dog*. It also added *Grumpy Cat* in 2013 and *Pusheen* in 2014.
Gund went through rebranding in late 2015. It included a redesigned logo that reflects its signature plush toys. This new identity system was designed by a NYC-based digital branding agency Cynda Media Lab, and it received several national and international design awards, including 2016 Communication Arts Design Annual Award, 2017 HOW Logo Design Award, 2017 iF Design Award, and 2017 A\'Design Award. It also released more than 200 new items as part of its 2016 campaign. It was in late 2015 that Enesco was purchased by private equity fund Balmoral Funds.
Gund\'s most recent campaign is for a charitable cause that involves \"giving huggable joy to children in need,\" and incorporating social media with the hashtag #howdoyouhug.
## Products
Gund is the manufacturer of plush stuffed animals. It sells over 1500 products including Gund, Baby Gund, Gund Bears, Gund Snuffles teddy bears, and Gund Holiday. Gund is known for under-stuffing their products to make them softer than competing teddy bears. One of Gund\'s most popular bears is Snuffles, a plush the company launched in 1981. Snuffles was one of the first plushes to contain soft stuffing, which began a trend in the industry. \"Snuffles has been a beloved Gund teddy bear for over 30 years, with its popular crescent moon design.\" Some of Gund\'s popular products include Philbin, Peek-a-boo bear, Spunky, My First Teddy, and Sesame Street Elmo. GUND also makes Pusheen Plushies available at Pusheen.com.

# Mary Seney Sheldon
**Mary Robinson Sheldon** (`{{nee}}`{=mediawiki} **Seney**) (July 3, 1863 -- June 16, 1913) was the first female president of the New York Philharmonic. She is credited with reorganizing the orchestra into a modern institution in 1909. One of her major contributions was the hiring of Gustav Mahler.
## Childhood
Sheldon was one of nine children, and was born on July 3, 1863, in the Columbia Heights section of Brooklyn (today known as Brooklyn Heights). She was the descendant of men who had been actively involved in the early American republic: Joshua Seney represented Maryland in the Continental Congress and James W. Nicholson was one of the first commodores in the United States Navy. Her grandfather, Robert Seney, was a graduate of Columbia College and a Methodist minister who preached in Astoria (in present-day Queens). His son was the banker, philanthropist, and art collector George Ingraham Seney (1826--92), who was educated at Wesleyan University and New York University. George Seney married Phoebe Augusta Moser, of a prominent Brooklyn family, in 1849.
By the time she was a teenager, the Seney family was living at 4 Montague Terrace in \"one of the finest houses in Brooklyn,\" and her father was the president of the Metropolitan Bank in Manhattan, which was a national institution. Sheldon grew up in a philanthropic family. In 1881, George Seney gave half a million dollars to establish the Methodist Hospital in what is now Park Slope, Brooklyn. That same year, he also gave away eighteen-year-old Mary as the bride of George Rumsey Sheldon, a Harvard graduate who had his own banking firm in New York City.
Within three years, as a result of the Panic of 1884, the Seney family was forced to sell its home as well as auction off nearly 300 of George Seney\'s fine collection of paintings to pay depositors. Despite this setback, Mary\'s father still made major charitable contributions to local institutions such as the Industrial Home for Homeless Children, the Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Long Island Historical Society, and the Brooklyn Library. After her father\'s death in 1892, Mary continued this philanthropic tradition by personally supervising many of these benefactions.

## The New York Philharmonic {#the_new_york_philharmonic}
In 1908, Mary Sheldon was a forty-five-year-old worldly woman with financial and political experience, when she maneuvered to put Mahler on the Philharmonic\'s podium and determined to build \"the greatest orchestra America has ever heard.\" She had two daughters, kept a yacht at Glen Cove on Long Island, and opened her home in the Murray Hill section of Manhattan\'s East Side for frequent *musicales.* Sheldon had watched her husband, a high-level Republican Party official, help put Charles Evans Hughes in the governor\'s mansion in Albany in 1906 and Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft in the White House in 1904 and 1908.
Her colleagues in the endeavor to reorganize the New York Philharmonic were sixty-year-old Ruth Draper, the daughter of the publisher of the *New York Sun* and the widow of a prominent professor of clinical medicine at Columbia, Dr. William Draper, who had also been a gifted musician; and Nelson S. Spencer, a fifty-two-year-old pioneer in the artificial silk industry and a public-interest lawyer who had been counsel for Governor Hughes in 1907. Two younger men rounded out the core of Sheldon\'s group: Henry Lane Eno, at thirty-seven years of age president of the Fifth Avenue Building Co. but far better known in cultural and intellectual circles as a psychologist, poet, and author (his verse play *Baglioni* was published in 1905); and the European-trained pianist and composer Ernest H. Schelling, age thirty-two, \"a connoisseur of books, prints and objects of art\", whose wife, Lucy How Draper, had been one of the signatories of the original 1903 plan.
Supporting Sheldon\'s reorganization efforts were sustaining members of the Guarantors\' Committee who made three-year financial pledges. These included wealthy men like John D. Rockefeller, J. Pierpont Morgan, Joseph Pulitzer, August Belmont, Jr., and Thomas Fortune Ryan, but also some formidable women. Harriet (Mrs. Charles Beatty) Alexander and Mary (Mrs. Edward H.) Harriman, both prominent hostesses and philanthropists in their own right, served as Philharmonic Guarantors and, in spite of Walter Damrosch\'s comments about rich ladies, also as directors of the Symphony Society (so did Henry Lane Eno).
Not least among the women of the Guarantors was Minnie Carl (Mrs. Samuel) Untermyer, the daughter of a German political refugee and the wife of the prominent attorney. Their townhouse at 2 East 54th Street was open to a wide variety of artists, musicians, and statesmen. Untermyer was a delegate to the National Democratic Party conventions in 1904 and 1908 yet when it came to musical matters, political affiliations were set aside. He had served as legal counsel for Damrosch, Sheldon, and others who proposed the takeover of the Philharmonic in 1903. With Mahler in the city, Sheldon now worked with Minnie Untermyer, Ruth Draper, and others to resurrect the 1903 plan. Their Committee for the two Festival Concerts, which evolved into the Philharmonic Guarantors\' Committee, drew up a circular letter in April 1908 that declared:
> We feel that a man of Mr. Mahler\'s eminence who has entered so wholly into the spirit of training a really fine orchestra for this City, will have trained the men to such a degree of perfection, that, if in the future, another conductor should have to be considered, this orchestra already formed, shall be of such a standard of excellence as to appeal to other eminent conductors should the moment arise to engage them. Mr. Mahler sees the promise of the very best in orchestral development in this country and it only rests with us to determine whether we will support the best.
Two and a half years later, in November 1910, the *Musical Courier* confirmed Mary Sheldon\'s vision. \"A woman, forceful as well as tender, with a consuming love of art and a deep love for humanity, has, by the aid of a few friends and her own determination, provided New York with a great orchestra, a thing that never existed until this new combination took matters in hand. Like almost every one who does something extraordinary for the world, this woman, outside of her immediate circle of friends and acquaintances, has not received the appreciation due her. Mrs. George R. Sheldon \... is the lady who has wrought this marvel, and it is high time the American musical public was convinced of the fact.\"
On May 28, 1912, Mary R. Seney Sheldon became the first woman elected president of the New York Philharmonic, a position not to be held by a woman again for nearly seven decades. She died after a long illness on June 16, 1913, a month shy of her fiftieth birthday, Mahler\'s age when he died just two years before. As late as May 22, she hosted in her home what was to be the last meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors before her death. The minutes of their first gathering after her death, in an unusually long tribute, express \"the great affection and regard in which she was held by all its members\" recording \"her untiring services to the Society and the cause of music and \... the immeasurable loss which the Society and the individual members of the Board will suffer in their deprivation of her presence and of her activities.\"
Sheldon worked both behind the scenes and in the public eye nearly 100 years ago to strengthen the New York Philharmonic financially and artistically. Through her efforts, the sum of \$300,000 (equal to \$3.4 million today) was raised to support the orchestra at the very moment that Mahler assumed its musical leadership. The confluence of these two achievements was pivotal in the history of the orchestra, setting a new standard of excellence for the future. Mahler\'s music as interpreted by the New York Philharmonic on their historic CD collection carries Sheldon\'s legacy into the 21st century.

### Critics
\"This agitation seems to have been started by two or three restless women with no occupation and more money than they seem to know what to do with,\" charged an angry Walter Damrosch in the pages of *The New York Times* in August 1908. He then dismissed Sheldon and the nascent Philharmonic Guarantors\' Committee with the opinion, \"There are people to whom music is only food for nervous excitement and each successive European celebrity visiting this country a toy to play with.\" Damrosch was responding to an interview Sheldon gave to the *Times* correspondent in Paris, in which she announced that Mahler would conduct a symphony orchestra in New York for the 1909/10 season.
Sheldon had spent the spring of 1908 engaging Mahler for two festival concerts at Carnegie Hall that coming winter. In April she told *The New York Times*, \"Mr. Mahler\'s influence has been deeply felt at the Metropolitan Opera House this winter and we have to thank Mr. \[\[Heinrich Conried\|\[Heinrich\] Conried\]\] for bringing him over. While he is here it would be a pity if he should not have a chance to conduct purely orchestral music with an orchestra of his own. Since the idea first came to me I have talked it over with many of my friends, and all of them have been extremely enthusiastic.\" By the time Sheldon spoke to the press again that summer, she had already been to Munich to solicit advice from Richard Strauss and Felix Mottl about improving the orchestra and, according to the *Times*, had \"already raised a large subscription fund.\"
What peeved Damrosch, however, was not Sheldon\'s interest in Mahler. It was her claim that \"New York orchestras at present are not worthy\" and her determination \"to go ahead and form another\" that would be \"the greatest orchestra America has ever heard.\" Damrosch was no doubt aggravated to read Sheldon\'s account of a meeting in May with Richard Arnold, revealing that the thought of a third symphony orchestra in New York had made the Philharmonic Society nervous. According to Sheldon, Arnold reportedly said: \"There is not room for another orchestra in New York; let\'s put the two organizations together and let Mahler conduct our orchestra.\"
If the story is true, Sheldon must have been delighted at Arnold\'s capitulation to a plan she and several other wealthy New Yorkers (along with Walter Damrosch) had put forward as early as 1903 and which the orchestra---taking exception to the idea of giving up control of the organization\'s finances---rejected. On the other hand, it is possible that Sheldon had just executed a clever political maneuver to pressure the Philharmonic to come around to her point of view. Offering the Philharmonic to Mahler in 1909--10 came as a surprise to *Times*, which was under the impression that the Orchestra had committed to Wassily Safonoff. Sheldon took the opportunity of this *Times* interview to clearly restate the Guarantors\' prerequisites:
*It would be necessary to make many changes in the organization. The strings, I think, could scarcely be improved, but some of the other parts would have to be reinforced. Then a certain number of our board would have to be placed on the Philharmonic board \... \[As Strauss and Mottl suggested,\] it would be best to plan the season of our orchestra to last thirty weeks, and that is another arrangement which must be made with the Philharmonic, as their present season lasts only sixteen \... I shall see Mr. Arnold immediately upon my return. It would be a great help to start with the Philharmonic as a nucleus.*
That winter the rumor mill abounded with reports of the potential rehabilitation of the Philharmonic. Sheldon was coy with the press; on December 9, 1908, the *New York Sun* wrote that she was \"not quite ready to give out\" details. Two days later, in a letter to the editor of the *Times*, Sheldon revealed what, on the surface, seemed to be a fundamental shift in her thinking since April: \"So far as we can see there is nothing \'hysterical\' about this plan, but a plain and commonsense attempt to save something that is very well worth saving, and benefiting thereby the musical life of New York. Nor is it, I may say, an attempt to form an orchestra for the benefit of any one conductor.\" The phoenix of the 1903 plan was rising from the ashes!
By February of the following year, Sheldon\'s proposed restructuring had indeed been accepted, paving the way for Mahler\'s engagement with the Philharmonic beginning in the autumn of 1909. The historic reorganization plan was signed by Mary and George Sheldon, Ruth Dana Draper, Henry Lane Eno, Ernest H. Schelling, and Nelson S. Spencer. Walter Damrosch\'s characterization of the Guarantors as \"two or three restless women with no occupation and more money than they seem to know what to do with,\" as well as Loudon Charlton\'s remark that Mahler\'s subsequent troubles with the Guarantors were the result of \"too many women,\" obscure the intelligence, business acumen, political savvy, and cultural sophistication of these women and men.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
In December 1881, Mary was married to George R. Sheldon (1863--1913), a son of William Crawford Sheldon and Mary Eliza (`{{nee}}`{=mediawiki} DeForest) Sheldon. George was a banker who served as treasurer of the Republican National Committee. Together, they lived at 24 East 38th Street in Manhattan and were the parents of:
- Mary Seney Sheldon (b. 1885), who married William Fuller in 1904; they later divorced, and she married Harvard Law graduate and Police Magistrate Daniel F. Murphy. After his death in 1937, she married Col. Arthur W. Little of Baltimore in 1941.
- Gertrude Alison Sheldon (1888--1969), who married banker Samuel Stevens Sands III (1884--1913), a son of Anne Harriman (the second wife of William Kissam Vanderbilt) and Samuel Stevens Sands II, in 1910. After his death, she married Richard Whitney, a president of the New York Stock Exchange (who was later convicted of embezzling), in 1916.
She died at her home after a long illness on June 16, 1913, a month shy of her fiftieth birthday

# WBEA
**WBEA** (101.7 FM, \"101-7 THE BEACH\") is a Mainstream Top 40 radio station licensed to Southold, New York and serving eastern Long Island. The station is licensed to LRS Radio, LLC, which is owned by WEHM on-air talent Lauren Stone (68.8%) and her father Roger W. Stone (31.2%), the chairman/CEO of Kapstone Paper & Packaging Company in Northbrook, Illinois. Its transmitter is located in East Quogue, New York.
The station broadcasts from studios in Water Mill, New York shared by WBAZ, WEHM and WEHN.
## History
WBEA first signed on the air July 3, 1985, as WBAZ. The station was founded by broadcasting consultant Joe Sullivan, Jr. doing business as Peconic Bay Broadcasting Company.
WBAZ would for many years feature an Adult Contemporary format known as *Lighting up the Bays* (or *Z-Light on the Bays*) which for most of its existence was satellite-fed through Transtar\'s (later Westwood One) \"Special Blend\" format. Sullivan later sold WBAZ to Mel Kahn in the late 1990s, along with then-sister station WLIE-FM.
When Kahn sold WBAZ and sister WBSQ to AAA Entertainment in 2000, the group would soon undergo a realignment given that AAA\'s WBEA and Kahn\'s WBSQ were competitors with different varieties of the Hot Adult Contemporary format. With WBEA, then at 104.7 MHz, outperforming WBSQ with a poorer signal, the decision was made to move WBAZ to WBSQ\'s 102.5 MHz location while moving WBEA to WBAZ\'s 101.7 MHz frequency. WBAZ and WBSQ would simulcast for most of May 2001 with the 101.7 frequency gaining the temporary WCSO calls in the process. After this period, the WBEA format was simulcast on 101.7 and 104.7 with 101.7 gaining the WBEA calls and *Beach Radio* format that June. At that time, 104.7 would enter a deal with the Mohegan Sun casino and become a cross-Sound rimshot into New London, Connecticut.
After the frequency switch, WBEA would soon shift in more of a CHR direction, putting it in competition with the high-rated WBLI and Connecticut rimshot WKCI. The station initially did well with its new approach, however a change in market dynamic after Arbitron made the East End of Long Island a rated market doomed the surprisingly low-rated *Beach Radio* format. At the end of 2004, WBEA would flip to a Hip hop format as *Blaze 101.7*, the first such station on Long Island. After AAA Entertainment sold their stations to Long Island Radio Broadcasting (a division of Cherry Creek Radio) took control of the stations later that year, the station would evolve to Rhythmic contemporary and would take on the new name *The Beat*, then reverting to \"The Beach\" during the summer of 2007.
On May 22, 2008, and after spending four years as a Rhythmic, WBEA returned to a Top 40/CHR direction, thus once again putting the station back in competition with WBLI and WKCI and as a result left WDRE (now WPTY) as the market\'s lone Rhythmic outlet

# Der Friede sei mit dir, BWV 158
***Der Friede sei mit dir*** (Peace be with you), **`{{abbr|BWV|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (catalogue of Bach's works)}}`{=mediawiki} 158**, is one of the shortest of the cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach and features a bass soloist. It survives as a cantata for the third day of Easter but might be a fragment of a work originally written for Purification. Given this background, and the fact that it was copied by Christian Friedrich Penzel, one of Bach\'s last students, there is a confusing variety of proposed composition dates. It may date back to Bach\'s Weimar period, although a date as late as 1735 has been suggested.
## History and text {#history_and_text}
The surviving source is a copy by Penzel, identified on the title page as being for the Purification (the Lutheran feast *Mariae Reinigung*), which was celebrated on 2 February, but with an alternate designation for Easter Tuesday in the parts.
Bach composed several cantatas for the Purification and the texts are related to Simeon\'s canticle *Nunc dimittis*, part of the prescribed readings. Because of the references to the \"Nunc dimittis\" in *Der Friede sei mit dir* and because of the alternate title page designation, it is widely assumed that at least the two central movements were originally part of a longer cantata for the Purification, with a different introductory recitative not evoking Christ\'s Easter reappearance to the disciples. The obbligato writing in the aria, which appears better suited to flute than the *\"violino\"* specified in Penzel\'s copy, is cited in support of the hypothesis that it was originally written for a different occasion.
Joshua Rifkin has proposed the dates 15 April 1727 or 30 March 1728 for the premiere of the surviving Easter version. The prescribed readings for this day were from the Acts of the Apostles, the sermon of Paul in Antiochia (`{{Sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Acts|chapter=13|verse=26|range=–33}}`{=mediawiki}), and from the Gospel of Luke, the appearance of Jesus to the Apostles in Jerusalem (`{{Sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Luke|chapter=24|verse=36|range=–47}}`{=mediawiki}). The librettist is unknown but may have been Salomon Franck, quoting hymn stanzas by Johann Georg Albinus and Martin Luther.
## Scoring and structure {#scoring_and_structure}
The cantata is scored for soprano and bass vocal soloists, four-part choir, oboe, violin, and basso continuo.
Because no complete copy of the work survives, it is possible that there were originally more than the four movements now known. In particular, another aria is thought to have preceded the final movement.
1. Recitative (bass): *italic=no* (21 measures)
2. Aria (bass) and chorale (soprano): *italic=no* (94 measures with chorale tune by Johann Rosenmüller)
3. Recitative and arioso (bass): *italic=no* (18 measures)
4. Chorale: *italic=no* (16 measures)
## Music
Both recitatives are \"supple\" and secco. The second movement is \"a fusion of a dulcet aria in the form of a trio sonata\" for bass, violin, and continuo, with interspersed lines from the chorale performed by soprano and oboe. It is formally a da capo aria introduced by an eighteen-measure ritornello. The work ends with a four-part harmonization of the chorale.

# Good to See You Again, Alice Cooper
***Good to See You Again, Alice Cooper*** is a 1974 feature film starring Alice Cooper. The movie primarily features live concert footage of the Alice Cooper band on their record-breaking *Billion Dollar Babies* tour, filmed in Texas (mostly at the Sam Houston Coliseum) in April 1973, with some footage from other tour stops, including the Memorial Coliseum, Portland, Oregon, intercut with \'comedy\' scenes of a German film director chasing the \"Cooper gang\" for revenge after they abandoned his would-be masterpiece movie.
Two versions of the film exist. The alternate version was issued for its original theatrical release across the US in 1974. Poorly edited and virtually unscripted, the \'storyline\' segments of the original version were replaced with black & white excerpts of scenes from old Hollywood movies. Despite this the film still failed at the box office. This version of the film remains commercially unreleased, although bootleg copies have been circulating amongst fans and at Record Fairs readily since the early-1980s. The original version of the film was eventually restored and released in 2005 on DVD, which includes Cooper providing insightful audio commentary. On September 14, 2010 Shout! Factory released the film (original version) on Blu-ray for the first time.
The film was shown only in Broome County, New York on its opening day, the one place in the USA that banned Alice Cooper from playing at their arena the year before.
The film provides a glimpse of a far less family-friendly Alice Cooper than that portrayed in the *Welcome to My Nightmare* concert film (shot two years later on the lead singer\'s first solo tour). The concert segments were performed by the original five-piece band (plus two live session musicians) at their artistic and commercial peak, and there is ample evidence of the behavior and implications which made the early Alice Cooper character such a controversial figure. The heavy sarcasm, pointed social satire (mannequin stage-props equipped with pubic hair, skewered baby dolls, a bloody \'execution\' sequence, and in the show\'s finale, when an American flag is unfurled and a Richard M. Nixon impersonator is \'beaten up\' by the entire band), confrontational improvisation (frontman Cooper taunting audience members), and the infamous boa constrictor were all present.

# 76th Grey Cup
The **76th Grey Cup** was the 1988 Canadian Football League championship game that was played at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa, between the BC Lions and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Blue Bombers defeated the favoured Lions 22--21. This was the first Grey Cup game between two teams from west of Ontario, and the first to be won by a team which had only a .500 season.
## Game summary {#game_summary}
**Winnipeg Blue Bombers** (22) - TDs, James Murphy; FGs, Trevor Kennerd (4); cons., Kennerd; singles, Trevor Kennerd, Bob Cameron (2).
**BC Lions** (21) - TDs, Anthony Cherry, David Williams; FGs, Lui Passaglia; cons., Passaglia (2); singles, Passaglia (2); safety touch.
The Lions jumped to a 7-1 lead in the opening quarter as running back Anthony Cherry scored on a 14-yard run. Kennerd kicked a 22-yard field goal to pull the Bombers within three.
With the wind at his back in the second quarter, Kennerd tied the score with a 43-yard field goal. But Lions quarterback Matt Dunigan connected with David Williams on a 26-yard scoring play, giving BC a 14-7 advantage.
The Bombers got that one back on their next possession. Quarterback Sean Salisbury threw a 35-yard touchdown strike to James Murphy to pull Winnipeg even. BC\'s Lui Passaglia failed on a 41-yard field goal attempt near the end of the half, but it did give the Lions a 15-14 lead at intermission.
Passaglia and Kennerd exchanged field goals in the third quarter. The game was deadlocked at 19 heading into the final 15 minutes.
With 2:55 remaining, Trevor Kennerd kicked a 30-yard field goal to put the Bombers in front for the first time in the game. With the score 22-19 in favour of the Bombers, the Lions marched 75 yards downfield to the Winnipeg seven-yard line. Dunigan\'s pass was batted down and intercepted in the end zone by Winnipeg\'s Mike Gray to snuff out the drive.
The BC defence held and Winnipeg head coach Mike Riley elected to give up a safety in favour of better field position, cutting the margin to just one. The ensuing kickoff was returned by BC\'s Anthony Drawhorn 38 yards to the BC 45-yard line, but the ball was brought back to the 30 when Cherry was flagged for an unnecessary roughness penalty. The Lions then went three and out and turned the ball over on downs and the Bombers ran out the clock for the win.

## Politics
### Founding of the National Action Party {#founding_of_the_national_action_party}
On September 15, 1939, Gómez Morín founded the National Action Party of Mexico along with Roberto Cossío y Cosío, Juan Landerreche Obregón, Daniel Kuri Breña, Juan José Páramo Castro, Bernardo Ponce, Francisco Fernández Cueto, Carlos Ramírez Zetina and Enrique Manuel Loaeza Garay. Served as the first party president from 1939 to 1949. The National Action Party won the presidential elections for the first time in the year 2000, 61 years after its founding.
### \"National Action\" politics {#national_action_politics}
The National Action Party was built on a theory of National Action politics, rejecting a fundamental adherence to right or left, which was developed by Gomez Morin and his associates as having political Pragmatism requiring the adoption policies that correspond to the problems faced by the nation at any given moment.
The party ideology, at least in principle, is that of \"National Action\" which rejects a fundamental adherence to left- or right-wing politics or policies, instead requiring the adoption of such policies as correspond to the current problems faced by the nation in the present. According to **Manuel Gómez Morín** both right and left wing policies may be considered equally carefully in formulation of national policy. (This is a similar theoretical basis as Gaullism).
Since its inception, the party has always welcomed ideologues with a strongly Catholic background, as they have been unable to find expression in other parties. This has moved the PAN\'s overall position on most social issues into Christian Democracy.
### Belisario Domínguez Medal of Honor {#belisario_domínguez_medal_of_honor}
The Senate of the Republic awarded Gómez Morín the Belisario Domínguez Medal of Honor, the nation\'s highest honor, in a *post mortem* ceremony on November 6, 2013. The medal was received by his daughter, Margarita Gómez Morín

# Piano Sonata (Bartók)
The **Piano Sonata**, BB 88, Sz. 80, is a piano sonata by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in June 1926. 1926 is known to musicologists as Bartók\'s \"piano year\", when he underwent a creative shift in part from Beethovenian intensity to a more Bachian craftsmanship.
## Movements
The work is in three movements, with the following tempo indications: `{{ordered list|list_style_type=upper-roman
|''Allegro moderato''
|''Sostenuto e pesante''
|''Allegro molto''
}}`{=mediawiki} It is tonal but highly dissonant (and has no key signature), using the piano in a percussive fashion with changing time signatures. Underneath clusters of repeated notes, the melody is folklike. Each movement has a classical structure overall, in character with Bartók\'s frequent use of classical forms as vehicles for his most advanced thinking. Musicologist Halsey Stevens finds in the work early forms of many stylistic traits that became more fully developed in Bartók\'s \"golden age\", 1934--1940.
## Writing
Bartók wrote *Dittának, Budapesten, 1926, jun.* at the end of the score, dedicating it to Ditta Pásztory-Bartók, his second wife. A performance generally lasts around 15 minutes. Bartók wrote the duration as around 12 minutes and 30 seconds on the score.
Bartok wrote this piece with an Imperial Bösendorfer in mind, which has extra keys in the bass (97 keys in total). The second movement calls for these keys to be used (to play G`{{music|#}}`{=mediawiki}~0~ and F~0~).
Bartók had previously written a piano sonata in 1896, which is little known

# Hara Tanzan
**Hara Tanzan** (原坦山, December 5, 1819 -- July 27, 1892) was a Japanese philosopher and Sōtō Buddhist monk. He served as abbot of Saijoji temple in Odawara and as professor at the University of Tokyo during the Bakumatsu and Meiji era. He was a forerunner of the modernization of Japanese Buddhism and the first (in Japan) to attempt to incorporate concepts from the natural sciences into Zen Buddhism.
## Life
Hara was born in Iwakitaira Domain, Mutsu Province (present-day Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture), the eldest son of samurai Arai Yūsuke. At the age of 15, Hara enrolled at the Shoheizaka Academy (昌平坂学問所) where he studied both Confucianism and medicine, the latter under Taki Genken. At the age of 20 or 26, he entered Buddhist priesthood, though he would go on to study Western medicine later in life.
Hara became the first lecturer of Indian Philosophy and Buddhist Studies at Tokyo Imperial University in 1879. He was later superintendent of the Soto-shu Daigaku-rin (currently Komazawa University).
There\'s a koan about Tanzan in which he writes and mails sixty postal cards on the day of his death. He announced his departure from the world in the post card.
## Appearances in Koans {#appearances_in_koans}
Hara is featured in several koans. The koans frequently demonstrate his disregard of many of the precepts of everyday Buddhism, such as dietary laws.
### The Muddy Road {#the_muddy_road}
The following is one of the most famous stories of Tanzan.
: Tanzan and Ekido were once traveling together down a muddy road. Heavy rain was falling. As they came around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross at an intersection.
```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
: \"Come on, girl,\" said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.
```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
: Ekido did not speak until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he could no longer restrain himself. \"We monks don\'t go near females,\" he told Tanzan, \"especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?\"
```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
: \"I left the girl there,\" said Tanzan. \"Are you still carrying her?\"
### A Buddha {#a_buddha}
In Tokyo in the Meiji era there lived two prominent teachers of opposite characteristics. One, Unsho, an instructor in Shingon, kept Buddha\'s precepts scrupulously. He never drank intoxicants, nor did he eat after eleven o\'clock in the morning.
The other teacher, Tanzan, a professor of philosophy at the Imperial University, never observed the precepts. When he felt like eating he ate, and when he felt like sleeping in the daytime he slept.
One day Unsho visited Tanzan, who was drinking wine at the time, not even a drop of which is supposed to touch the tongue of a Buddhist.
\'Hello, brother,\' Tanzan greeted him. \'Won\'t you have a drink?\'
\'I never drink!\' exclaimed Unsho solemnly.
\'One who does not drink is not even human,\' said Tanzan.
\'Do you mean to call me inhuman just because I do not indulge in intoxicating liquids!\' exclaimed Unsho in anger. Then if I am not human, what am I?\'
\'A Buddha.\' answered Tanzan

# Hugo Girard
**Hugo Girard** (born December 20, 1971) is a Canadian former strongman. He is a Strongman Super Series world Champion, a four-time World Muscle Power champion and a six-time Canada\'s Strongest Man. With 15 international competition wins, he\'s the ninth most decorated strongman in history.
## Strength career {#strength_career}
Prior to his career as a strongman competitor, Girard worked as a bouncer in a popular Quebec City nightclub on weekends while attending community college. In the early 1990s, he went to Los Angeles in order to either pursue a career as a professional bodybuilder or as an actor. After a few months, Girard came back to the province of Quebec where he was later hired as a police officer for the city of Gatineau.
Girard focused on Strongman competition, and became a 6-time consecutive finalist in the World\'s Strongest Man competition from 1998-2004. Girard\'s highest placing was 4th place at the 1999 World\'s Strongest Man contest.
In 2002 Girard reached the high point of his career to date, winning the 2002 Strongman Super Series overall title. Girard has also won the World Muscle Power Championships 4 times, in 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2004.
Girard dominated strongman competition in Canada for several years. He was the Canada\'s Strongest Man champion from 1999 to 2004. He was also the North America\'s Strongest Man champion in 2001 and 2002.
Beginning in 2004, injuries began to plague his career including back to back injuries to his achilles tendon in 2005, the first of which took place at the 2005 Arnold Strongman Classic forcing him to retire from the contest. These injuries required a long period of rehabilitation, and nearly a year and a half to fully recover. At one point Girard was in a cast up to his waist. Girard\'s comeback took place at the 2006 Mohegan Sun Super Series event. After winning the first event, he tore his patellar tendon in the second event, the Conan\'s Wheel and was forced to retire from the contest. He attempted to compete in the North America\'s Strongest Man Competition in 2007, but withdrew due to injury. Girard was able to bounce back in 2008, winning Quebec\'s Strongest Man. This win qualified Girard for the 2008 Canada\'s Strongest Man contest. Girard was leading the contest after the first day, but suffered yet another injury on the second day of competition and tearfully announced his retirement from strongman competition.
Girard broke several records during his career, some of which are still standing today. He has held records in events such as the log press, apollon\'s axle press, crucifix hold, farmer\'s walk Atlas stones, bench press, truck pull and squat. He has also pulled an 80-ton Boeing 737 for a short distance.
Due to his strength, Girard is often compared to fellow Quebec native Louis Cyr, a dominant nineteenth-century strongman who was considered the strongest man in history at the turn of the century. Girard has trained several other strongmen in the Ottawa and Gatineau regions, including Travis Lyndon and Jessen Paulin, who has participated in the World\'s Strongest Man competition and succeeded Girard as Canada\'s Strongest Man in 2005 and 2006.
Girard is currently a member of the organization of the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival that takes place every Labour Day weekend. He is also the current president of the Canadian Federation of Strength Athletes. In addition to his career as a strongman, Girard served as a police officer for 12 years.

# Perspecta
**Perspecta** was a directional motion picture sound system invented by the laboratories at Fine Sound Inc. in 1954. The company was founded by Mercury Records engineer C. Robert (Bob) Fine, husband of producer Wilma Cozart Fine. As opposed to magnetic stereophonic soundtracks available at the time, Perspecta\'s benefits were that it did not require a new sound head for the projector and thus was a cheaper alternative.
Introduced as a \"directional sound system\" rather than a true stereophonic sound system, Perspecta did not use discretely recorded sound signals. Instead, three sub-audible tones at 30 Hz, 35 Hz, and 40 Hz are mixed appropriately and embedded in a monaural optical soundtrack, in addition to the audible sound. When run through a Perspecta integrator, depending on whenever each tone is present, the audio is fed into a left (30 Hz), center (35 Hz) and right (40 Hz) speaker. Unlike true stereophonic sound, which would be described as discrete tracks running in synchronization in time and phase, Perspecta merely panned a mono mix across various channels. Because of this, only isolated dialogue or sound effects could be mixed to be directional. Mixed sound effects, dialogue and music could not be suitably mixed. Aside from panning, Perspecta controlled gain levels for each channel through the amplitude of each control signal.
MGM Studios and Paramount Pictures were major supporters and developers of Perspecta. MGM used it on nearly everything that they released between mid-1954 to approximately 1958, including shorts, cartoons and trailers. Paramount used it, uncredited, on all their VistaVision pictures until it fell out of favor around 1958. In theory, the \"High Fidelity\" in VistaVision\'s trademark strongly implied high-fidelity sound, but, in reality, the system provided only higher-fidelity visual image, not higher-fidelity sound. Universal-International, Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, United Artists, and Toho were among some of the other major studios to utilize Perspecta regularly.

# Leccinum aurantiacum
***Leccinum aurantiacum*** is a species of fungus in the genus *Leccinum* found in forests of Eurasia and North America. It has a large, characteristically red-capped fruiting body. In North America, it is sometimes referred to by the common name **red-capped scaber stalk**. Some uncertainties exist regarding the taxonomic classification of this species in Europe and North America. It is considered edible, but must be cooked thoroughly.
## Description
The cap is orange-red and measures 5--15 cm across. Its flesh is white, bruising at first burgundy, then grayish or purple-black. The underside of the cap has very small, whitish pores that bruise olive-brown. The stem measures 8--16 cm tall and 2--3 cm thick and can bruise blue-green. It is whitish, with short, rigid projections or scabers that turn to brown to black with age.
## Distribution and habitat {#distribution_and_habitat}
*L. aurantiacum* can be found fruiting during summer and autumn in forests throughout Europe and North America. The association between fungus and host tree is mycorrhizal. In Europe, it has traditionally been associated with poplar trees. *L. aurantiacum* is found among oak and various other deciduous trees, including beech, birch, chestnut, willow, and trees of the genus *Tilia*. *L. aurantiacum* is not known to associate with conifers in Europe.
North American populations have been recorded in coniferous and deciduous forests, though whether collections from coniferous forests are not *L. vulpinum*, instead, remains uncertain. In addition, *L. aurantiacum* may be absent altogether from North America, with collections from deciduous forests being attributed to other North American species *L. insigne*, and *L. brunneum*.
## Edibility
This is a favorite species for eating and can be prepared as other edible boletes. Its flesh turns very dark on cooking. Like most members of the Boletaceae, these mushrooms are targeted by maggots. Due to a number of poisonings and the difficulty identifying species, *Leccinum* species are considered by some as possibly not safe to eat. This species also needs to be cooked well (not parboiled) or else it may cause vomiting or other negative effects. Some report gastrointestinal upset after eating this species. At least one death has been reported that was linked to consuming this species.
## Similar species {#similar_species}
In Europe, several orange-red capped species exist, which differ mainly in habitat. *L. albostipitatum* grows with aspen and has white scales on the stipe. In coniferous forests, *L. vulpinum* occurs around pine and spruce trees. Not all authors recognise these as distinct species.
In North America, *L. insigne* grows in aspen or birch stands, while *L. atrostipitatum* grows in birch stands. Both are edible. Another similar species is *L. versipelle*

# Tintagel (Bax)
***Tintagel*** is a symphonic poem by Arnold Bax. It is his best-known work, and was for some years the only piece by which the composer was known to many concert-goers. The work was inspired by a visit Bax made to Tintagel Castle in Cornwall in 1917, and, although not explicitly programmatic, draws on the history and mythology associated with the castle.
## History
During the late summer of 1917 Bax, together with the pianist Harriet Cohen, with whom he was having a passionate love affair, spent six weeks in Cornwall. They visited Tintagel Castle which inspired the composer to write a symphonic poem. The piece was fully sketched during October 1917 and orchestrated between then and January 1919. It is dedicated to Cohen.
In a programme note written in 1922 Bax stated that the piece is \"only in the broadest sense programme music\". He aimed, he said, to offer an impression of the cliffs and castle of Tintagel and the sea \"on a sunny but not windless summer day\", and to reflect some of the literary and traditional associations of the scene.
*Tintagel* was premiered in Bournemouth on 20 October 1921 by the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra conducted by Dan Godfrey. *The Musical Times* reported: `{{blockquote|On October 20 interest was chiefly centred in{{space}}…the actual first performance of a new composition by Arnold Bax, entitled ''Tintagel''. This was very successfully produced, Mr. Bax being the recipient of a genuine outburst of applause. Lovely passages abound in his score, and the poetic quality of the music is everywhere exemplified. One felt, however, that a better structural balance could have been obtained, and that a keener sense of climax would have improved this deeply-felt piece of writing. Mr. Godfrey's handling of the intricate score was above reproach.<ref>[https://www.jstor.org/stable/908576 "Music in the Provinces – Bournemouth"], ''The Musical Times'', December 1921, p. 865</ref>|}}`{=mediawiki}
## Structure
In Bax\'s published analysis: `{{blockquote|The music opens, after a few introductory bars, with a theme given out on the brass which may be taken as representing the ruined castle.{{space}}… This subject is worked to a broad diatonic climax, and is followed by a long melody for strings which may suggest the serene and almost limitless spaces of ocean. After a while a more restless mood begins to assert itself as though the sea were rising.<ref name=f150/>|}}`{=mediawiki} At this point, Bax writes, he sought to convey a sense of stress and to conjure up the dramatic legends of King Arthur and King Mark. \"A wailing chromatic figure is heard and gradually dominates the music\", at which point Bax quotes a theme from Wagner\'s *Tristan and Isolde* (a work set in and off the coast of Cornwall). There follows what Bax called \"a great climax suddenly subsiding\", which is followed by a passage intended to convey the impression of \"immense waves slowly gathering force until they smash themselves upon the impregnable rocks\". The theme of the sea is repeated, and the work ends with the return of the opening image of \"the castle still proudly fronting the sun and wind of centuries\".
## Recordings
When Bax\'s music underwent a decade and more of neglect after his death in 1953, *Tintagel* was alone among his works in retaining a firm place in the repertoire. By 2014 the work had received fifteen recordings. The earliest was made for His Master\'s Voice in 1928, with New Symphony Orchestra conducted by Eugene Goossens; it was the only recording made during the composer\'s lifetime, and, at 2015, is by some way the fastest performance on record, playing for 12 minutes 10 seconds. In the view of *The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music* the benchmark recording is that by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir John Barbirolli, first issued in 1967. That recording plays for 15 minutes

# Chacha (brandy)
**Chacha** (`{{lang-ka|ჭაჭა}}`{=mediawiki} *ch'ach'a* `{{IPA|ka|tʃʼatʃʼa|}}`{=mediawiki}) is a Georgian pomace brandy, clear and strong (ranging between 40% alcohol for commercially produced to 85% for home brew), which is sometimes called \"wine vodka\", \"grape vodka\", or \"Georgian vodka/grappa\". It is made of grape pomace (grape residue left after making wine). The term *chacha* is used in Georgia to refer to grape distillate. It may be also produced from unripe or wild grapes. Other common fruits or herbs used are figs, tangerines, oranges, mulberries or tarragon.
The Kakheti region, which is in the easternmost part of the country, accounts for 75% of all vineyards (approximately 33,000 hectares) in Georgia.
Traditionally only a homedistilled drink of Georgians, it is today also commonly produced by professional distillers and most wineries who include it in their product range. The type and flavor of the different varieties of local chacha can differ depending on the region in which they are produced. For example, chacha made by producers in the Kakheti region tend to have more of an oak flavoring than chacha made in the capital city of Tbilisi. Among the larger companies, some of the more popular include Chateau Mukharni, Teliani Valley, Telavi Wine Cellar, and Vazi+. These distilleries have enhanced the traditional flavor and aromas of chacha through the addition of natural ingredients. Teliani Valley, for instance, distills four types of distinct chacha: Gold, made in aged oak barrels; Silver, made only with pomace from Rkatsiteli grapes; Honey, in which the chacha is distilled with honeycombs; and Ice, a version with a higher alcoholic content. Vazi+ has commercialized three types of chacha under their "Binekhi" label, all of which have proved to be exceedingly popular. All three types are distilled twice, and the most expensive -- Binekhi Estragon -- includes the addition of natural estragon (tarragon).
One of the most famous *chacha* products is the Binekhi Estragon, which became distinguished with the silver medal at the 2007 Mundus Vini awards. Competing with over 5,000 other wines and spirits, Chateau Mukhrani\'s chacha won the gold medal at the 2011 Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Competition. At the 2012 Chisinau Wines and Spirits Contest in the Republic of Moldova, the Traditional Winery of Kakheti won five silver medals for its chacha.
In 2005 the government of Georgia enacted new intellectual property legislation called the "Law on Appellations of Origin and Geographical Indications of Goods" (the AOGI Law). This law primarily allows for the registrations of appellations of origin (AO) and geographical indications (GI) for wines, spirits, and mineral waters originating in Georgia. Many of Georgia\'s famous wines that make up the grape pomace were registered as AOs internationally through the Lisbon System for the International Registration of Appellations of Origin. On 13 December 2011, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Government of Georgia registered "chacha" as the first GI in the country.
The city of Batumi, second largest city of Georgia has implemented a unique campaign based on the power of the chacha brand. In the center of the city, a 25-meter tower was built in 2012 that house an observation deck, clock, pools, and tourist information center. Outside the chacha tower is an ornate water fountain, which for 10 -- 15 minutes once per week flows with chacha made from local distillers instead of water. The tower was demolished in 2024

# One Mint Julep
**\"One Mint Julep\"** is a R&B song, written and composed by Rudy Toombs, that became a 1952 hit for the Clovers. The song has received over 100 cover versions, both with lyrics and as an instrumental.
## History
\"One Mint Julep\" was recorded on the Atlantic Records label in New York City on December 19, 1951, and released in March 1952. It was one of the first \"drinking songs\" to become a hit and one of the first to feature a tenor saxophone solo. It was an important step in the history of Ahmet Ertegun and Atlantic Records in its quest to become a hot rhythm and blues label. Stylistically, the Clovers were moving away from the sentimental lyrics of the romantic doo-wop group songs and adapting a cooler group style, emphasizing rhythm more, nearing the style of a jump blues combo.
Toombs had been hired by the Atlantic Records label to write and compose humorous up-tempo rhythm and blues novelty songs. Atlantic wanted material that was true to life, but also funny. The humor in this song comes in part from the idea of a young black man getting drunk on mint juleps, traditionally thought of as an aristocratic southern white woman\'s drink. The Atlantic B-side was \"Middle of the Night\" by \"Nugetre\", Ertegun spelled backwards.
The song appeared in the movie *Saving Mr. Banks* and in an episode of American sitcom, *Will & Grace*.
## Lyrics content {#lyrics_content}
The story line is a classic one of a man who falls for the charms of a young woman only to realize a few years later that he has a ring on his finger. He remembers that it all started with \"One Mint Julep.\"
## Drinking songs {#drinking_songs}
\"One Mint Julep\" was the first of several successful up-tempo drinking songs by Toombs, who went on to write and compose \"One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer\" for Amos Milburn, \"Fat Back and Corn Likker\" for Louis Jordan, and \"Nip Sip\" for the Clovers.
## Cover versions {#cover_versions}
- In 1961 \"One Mint Julep\" finally reached a mass audience when Ray Charles\'s organ-and-big-band instrumental version reached No. 1 on the R&B charts, and also reached No. 8 on the pop chart.

# KidsRights Foundation
The **KidsRights Foundation** is an international children\'s aid and advocacy organisation based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The foundation was founded in 2003, by Marc Dullaert and Inge Ikink. KidsRights raises funds for independent local aid projects in a number of countries around the world, including India, South Africa and the Philippines.
\"KidsRights seeks to give a voice to the utterly voiceless,\" the organisation quotes Nobel Peace Prize laureate Desmond Tutu as saying.
The organisation\'s mission is to support and empower vulnerable children around the world, by raising funds for small-scale local projects, and by raising awareness for children\'s rights through the international media.
The foundation has instituted an annual award, the International Children\'s Peace Prize, to honour a child who has made a significant contribution to advocating children\'s rights and improving the situation of vulnerable children. The first Children\'s Peace Prize was presented in 2005 by Mikhail Gorbachev during the Nobel for Peace Summit in Rome, an annual meeting of Nobel Peace Prize winners. The \$10,000 prize was posthumously awarded to Nkosi Johnson, a South African boy who brought attention to children with HIV/AIDS and set up the Nkosi\'s Haven orphanage.
Charitable events to raise funds for KidsRights have been nationally televised in the Netherlands and have featured performances from well-known artists like Andrea Bocelli, Ronan Keating, Ilse de Lange and the Sugababes. Corporate sponsors include ABN-AMRO, Akzonobel and Wilde Ganzen.
KidsRights Foundation is not related to KIDSRIGHTS, an Indianapolis-based publisher and distributor of materials on child abuse prevention and treatment

# WBAZ
**WBAZ** (102.5 FM) is an adult contemporary music formatted radio station licensed to Bridgehampton, New York, and serving eastern Long Island and Southeastern Connecticut. The station is owned by WEHM on-air talent Lauren Stone (68.8%) and her father Roger W. Stone (31.2%), the chairman/CEO of Kapstone Paper & Packaging Company in Northbrook, Illinois, as licensee LRS Radio, LLC. The station\'s studios are located in Water Mill, New York and shared by WBEA and WEHM/WEHN. WBAZ\'s transmitter is located in Southampton, New York.
## History
The 102.5 frequency first signed on in April 1996 as WLIE, with a satellite-fed country music format. Put on the air by WBAZ-owner Mel Kahn and his MAK Communications, less than a year later, the country format was replaced with classic rock.
In early 1998, the 102.5 frequency changed again as it took on new calls, WBSQ, and a new Hot Adult Contemporary format (again satellite-fed) as *Q-(Bright)102.5*. Launched as a complement to WBAZ at 101.7 FM, and not much else, the station remained an afterthought in the scheme of East End radio.
When Kahn sold WBAZ and WBSQ to AAA Entertainment, owner of locally-run rival WBEA at 104.7 FM in 2000, the future of WBSQ\'s Hot AC format was limited. Studies by AAA showed that the majority of WBAZ\'s listeners were concentrated in the Southampton/Bridgehampton area and that the slightly worse 102.5 FM signal would be ideal for the station. In April 2001, WBSQ took the WCSO calls used by AAA as placeholders and would simulcast and assume WBAZ\'s format and calls that May. The 101.7 frequency soon became home to WBEA whereas WBEA\'s former home at 104.7 FM became home to a classic hits station targeted to New London, Connecticut.
In 2005, WBAZ, WBEA, and sister stations WEHM and WHBE would be purchased by Long Island Radio Broadcasting, a unit of Cherry Creek Radio

**Joachim Schepke** (8 March 1912 -- 17 March 1941) was a German U-boat commander during World War II. He was the seventh recipient of the Knight\'s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves.
Schepke is credited with having sunk 36 Allied ships. During his career, he gained notoriety among fellow U-boat commanders for exaggerating the tonnage of ships sunk.
## Career
Schepke joined the *Reichsmarine* in 1930. In 1934, he was assigned to the newly created U-boat arm, and in 1938 he commanded `{{GS|U-3|1935|2}}`{=mediawiki}. After a short stint commanding `{{GS|U-19|1936|2}}`{=mediawiki} and serving in a staff position, Schepke received the command of `{{GS|U-100|1940|2}}`{=mediawiki}, a Type VIIB boat. After 5 patrols in *U-100* she was heavily damaged on 17 March 1941 by depth charges from HMS *Walker* and `{{HMS|Vanoc|H33|2}}`{=mediawiki} while attacking Convoy HX 112. *U-100* was forced to surface and was detected on radar and rammed by *Vanoc*. Schepke and most of the crew died.
Schepke claimed to have sunk 37 ships, for a total of `{{GRT|213,310|disp=long}}`{=mediawiki} and damaged four more. If true, this would have made him the third skipper to have sunk over 200,000 tons. While he definitely sank 36 ships, he was known throughout the fleet to exaggerate his tonnage claims; other U-boat men came to use the expression \"Schepke tonnage\" in reference to this. Nonetheless, at one point Schepke ranked first in the number of ships sunk, and was recommended by Admiral Dönitz for the Knight\'s Cross with Oak Leaves

# Adamu Tesfaw
**Adamu Tesfaw** (born 1933), also called **Qes Adamu Tesfaw**, is an Ethiopian painter.
Tesfaw was born in 1933, and raised in Bichena in Gojjam province. He was educated as a priest in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. In the late 1950s, Tesfaw moved to Addis Ababa to pursue painting as a career, ultimately leaving the priesthood. There he had the help of his godfather Yohannes Tessema, a successful commercial artist. He sold paintings through his godfather, and later through several souvenir shops in Addis Ababa.
Tesfaw produces large paintings on cloth of scenes of Ethiopian culture and history, and also religious art in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition.
His work has been featured in a number of showings of Ethiopian art overseas, and the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History organized a touring exhibition of his work in 2004, which continued touring until at least November 2007. In 2004 he also appeared on the popular Ethiopian Television program \"Meto Haya\"

# Young Apollo
***Young Apollo***, Op. 16, is a music composition for piano, string quartet and string orchestra composed in 1939 by Benjamin Britten.
Following a performance of Britten\'s *Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge* on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation\'s *Melodic Strings* program on 18 June 1939 (which Britten attended), Harry Adaskin commissioned Britten for a work. It is the earliest known autonomous musical work to have been commissioned by the CBC.
The work premiered on 27 August 1939 on an episode of CBC Radio\'s *Melodic Strings*, along with other new compositions by Carl Busch (an arrangement of *My Old Kentucky Home*) and Frederick Bye (*Puppets Suite in Four Parts)*. Britten was soloist and Alexander Chuhaldin conducted. Britten dedicated the work to Chuhaldin. The composer withdrew the work following a second performance on 20 December in New York, without explanation. It was not performed again until 1979 when it was revived at that year\'s Aldeburgh Festival, with Steuart Bedford conducting the English Chamber Orchestra and Michael Roll as soloist.
It carries as an epigraph the final lines of \"Hyperion\", an incomplete poem by John Keats but the work was inspired by Wulff Scherchen, a young, German blond who was Britten\'s first love interest.
*Young Apollo* was first commercially recorded in 1982, with Peter Donohoe as soloist, and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under Simon Rattle

# Wilbur Wright College
**Wilbur Wright College**, formerly known as **Wright Junior College**, is a public community college in Chicago. Part of the City Colleges of Chicago system, it offers two-year associate\'s degrees, as well as occupational training in IT, manufacturing, medical, cyber tech, and business fields. Its main campus is located on Chicago\'s Northwest Side in the Dunning neighborhood.
## History
Wilbur Wright College was established in 1934 by the Chicago Board of Education as one of the system of three city junior colleges designed to serve the post-secondary educational needs of Chicago residents. For a three-year period during World War II, the U.S. Navy leased the facilities and trained thousands of men as part of the Electronics Training Program. The college remained in its initial location at 3400 N. Austin Ave. until moving to a new campus in 1993.
In 1966, Wright and the other city colleges were reorganized into a new community college district, named the City Colleges of Chicago, with its own Board of Trustees and taxing authority. This system includes colleges which, in turn, are a part of the State system comprising 40 public community college districts and 49 individual colleges. In 1996, Wilbur Wright College was named an HSI, serving a 25% or larger Latine population, by [HACU](https://www.hacu.net).
Under the City Colleges of Chicago\'s new college to Careers initiative, Wright is City Colleges of Chicago\'s hub for Information Technology.
## Campus
Wright College was originally located in a large building at 3400 N. Austin Avenue, in Chicago. The original Wright campus is now home to the Chicago Academy Elementary School, the Chicago Academy High School, and the Academy for Urban School Leadership\'s central office. Due to needs for additional space and more specialized facilities, in 1993 it moved to a 23-acre parcel at 4300 N. Narragansett Avenue, at a cost of \$90 million. The campus was designed by renowned Chicago-area architect Bertrand Goldberg In 2013, the school began a \$3.5 million project to renovate and install new HVAC systems in the Learning Resource Center, a pyramid and one of the campus\' landmarks.
Wright College is a leader in sustainability and was recognized as a Bronze Level Compact School in the Illinois Campus Sustainability Compact Program. The National Arbor Day Foundation has named Wright College as a Tree Campus USA for three consecutive years.
## Humboldt Park Vocational Center {#humboldt_park_vocational_center}
Humboldt Park Vocational Center is a satellite site of Wright College and offers classes that teach adult basic education skills, vocational training and other programs. The facility offers a nine-month advanced certification program in computerized numerical control (CNC) machining. In 2012, the CNC machining program placed 100 percent of its graduates into jobs paying \$40,000 a year, with the potential to jump to \$55,000 to \$65,000 in less than two years.
## Accreditation

# Point Clark
**Point Clark** is a lakefront cottage community on Lake Huron, in the municipality of Huron-Kinloss, Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 15 kilometres south of Kincardine and 40 kilometres north of Goderich. Main streets include Huron Road and Lake Range Road. Point Clark is served by Highway 21 (Ontario). It is a cottage town, and has a rare Imperial Tower style lighthouse. There is a sandy beach and a small harbour with a boat ramp. There are two streams or rivers that run into Lake Huron around Point Clark: Clark Creek and Pine River. There is a separate harbour in the mouth of the Pine River. Amberley is just outside and to the south of Point Clark and Lucknow is to the south-east of Point Clark.
This lighthouse of one of six Imperial Towers built in the 1850s on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. They were built at a time when commercial shipping traffic was increasing on the Great Lakes between Canada and the U.S. because of new trade agreements and the opening of the Sault Ste. Marie Canal locks in 1855. The Bruce Peninsula was also open to settlement by 1850, making the lighthouses timely. All were made of cut limestone and granite, not of brick, metal, wood or concrete as most others were on the Great Lakes.
The Point Clark Lighthouse was formally registered as one of the National Historic Sites of Canada on 25 May 1966. It is the only lighthouse on the Great Lakes and Georgian Bay to receive that highest level of merit. The light keeper\'s house is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building, a place of historic interest (14 July 1994). Both can be toured by the public.

# Point Clark
## History
In 1850, Point Clark was originally called The Point and the Post Office was called Pine River. Later, the area was known as Pine Point as a lantern was hung from a pine tree to warn sailors of the shoal off the point, prior to the building of the lighthouse. After settlers moved in from Clark Township, Huron County, the area was known as \"Clark\'s Point\". Later, the town received the name it bears today---Point Clark.\'
At the end of 1853, six municipalities were formed in the new township of Huron. Capt. Henry C. Gamble, an Irish man arrived in 1856 to visit to his brother, J. W. Gamble. He decided to remain and to develop the area into a business centre. He bought land near the mouth of the river and built a saw and grist mill. At the time, the neighbourhood was called \"The Point.\" Capt. Gamble did not succeed with his plan to develop the area and returned to Ireland.
The government arranged for the building of the Point Clark Lighthouse between 1855 and 1859, during the building of the Imperial Towers; many referred to it as the Pine Point light. The tower and keeper\'s home were extensively restored between 2011 and 2014 and reopened to the public in 2015. The museum in the keeper\'s home and an outbuilding provides a glimpse into the life of light keepers of the past. Since the lighthouse is on the mainland (not on an island) it can easily reached by vehicle. The entire facility including the tower, operated by the Township of Huron-Kinloss, can be toured from mid June to Labour Day for a fee

# Waterford Township School District
The **Waterford Township School District** is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade from Waterford Township, in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
As of the 2018--19 school year, the district, comprising three schools, had an enrollment of 819 students and 78.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student--teacher ratio of 10.4:1.
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group \"DE\", the fifth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.
For seventh through twelfth grades, public school students attend the Hammonton Public Schools in Hammonton, as part of a sending/receiving relationship, alongside students from Folsom who attend for grades 9-12 as part of an agreement with the Folsom Borough School District. Schools in the Hammonton district attended by Waterford Township students (with 2018--19 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are Hammonton Middle School with 879 students in grades 6-8 and Hammonton High School with 1,393 students in grade 9-12.
In the wake of the dissolution of the Lower Camden County Regional School District, the Hammonton board of education voted in 1999 to begin accepting an estimated 800 students from Waterford Township for grades 7-12 starting as soon as 2002, with the tuition paid by students from Waterford helping to lower overall costs to Hammonton taxpayers and the New Jersey Department of Education approved the agreement.
## Schools
Schools in the district (with 2018--19 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are:
- Thomas Richards Early Childhood Center with 221 students in grades 2-3 (now PreK-K)
- Atco Elementary School with 193 students in grades K-1 (now grades 1-2)
- Waterford Elementary School with 400 students in grades 4-6
## Administration
The superintendent is Michael Nolan and the assistant superintendent for business is Daniel J. Fox.
## Board of education {#board_of_education}
The district\'s board of education, comprised of nine members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board\'s trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district\'s day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.
In 1997 the district conducted a survey of 700 households on whether it should adopt school uniforms. 383 persons who responded indicated that they favored uniforms while 166 indicated opposition. At the time there were some members of the school board who formed a faction favoring school uniforms, while another faction opposed them

# Gabriela Brimmer
**Gabriela** \"**Gaby**\" **Raquel Brimmer** (September 12, 1947 -- January 3, 2000) was a Mexican writer and activist for people with disabilities. She was born in Mexico City, the daughter of Sari and Michel Brimmer, Austrian Jewish immigrants. She had a brother, David. Gaby was born with cerebral palsy and since childhood learned to act in a world that has difficulty accepting diversity. Brimmer\'s caretaker Florencia Sánchez Morales was largely responsible for teaching her to communicate. Brimmer\'s life was chronicled in the film *Gaby: A True Story*. In 1979, her Spanish-language autobiography *Gaby Brimmer,* coauthored by Elena Poniatowska, was published by Editorial Grijalbo in Mexico City. An English version translated by Trudy Balch appeared in 2009.
## Education and early life {#education_and_early_life}
In 1955, she was enrolled into a rehabilitation center\'s elementary school where a teacher recognized her talent with words and recommended that she become a writer. In 1967, Brimmer entered a regular school. Her Language Arts teacher was a poet who also persuaded her to write. That very same year she started to write poems. The first time her mother read one of her poems she was deeply moved, cried and asked her to keep them all so that a book could be published. Brimmer could only type on the typewriter with a toe from her left foot, the only part of her body she could control. In 1971, she was accepted into the Social and Political Sciences department at the National Autonomous University of Mexico as a Sociology major, but did not graduate.
## Gabriela Brimmer Foundation {#gabriela_brimmer_foundation}
Gaby founded an organization of people with disabilities, known as Asociación para los Derechos de Personas con Alteraciones Motoras (Adepam) (in English, Association for the Rights of People with Motor Disabilities) and was an active participant in a number of other organizations. Brimmer worked for the full participation of people with disabilities and at the same time managed to write poetry. Brimmer was regarded`{{Who|date=November 2010}}`{=mediawiki} as one who enjoyed a moving sensitivity and a strength that stemmed from the depths of her soul. Observers of her life`{{Who|date=November 2010}}`{=mediawiki} commented that she did not think of herself as an \"outstanding personality,\" even when people`{{Who|date=November 2010}}`{=mediawiki} could not hide their astonishment in seeing her do the things she did. She used to say, \"life makes me to do it. Her message to people with disabilities was to rethink their ways of living by forgetting the limits imposed by others

# William H. Emory
**William Hemsley Emory** (September 7, 1811 -- December 1, 1887) was a prominent American surveyor and civil engineer of the 19th century. As an officer in the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers he specialized in mapping the United States border, including the Texas--Mexico border, and the Gadsden Purchase border, 1844--1855, and published lasting scientific reports on the border region.
## Early life and early career {#early_life_and_early_career}
Emory was born in Queen Anne\'s County, Maryland, on his family\'s \"Poplar Grove\" estate. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, and graduated in 1831. Assigned as a second lieutenant, he served in the Fourth Artillery until he resigned from the service in 1836 to pursue civil engineering, but he returned to the service in 1838 as lieutenant in the newly formed Corps of Topographical Engineers.
William H. Emory was most importantly a topographical engineer and explorer. From 1839 to 1842, he surveyed harbors and the Delaware River. In 1844, Emory served in an expedition that produced a new map of Texan claims westward to the Rio Grande, which brought him national attention as the war with Mexico seemed imminent. He next conducted a boundary survey of the Canada--United States border (1844--1846). His mapmaking skills were so superb and detailed with such great accuracy that he often made other maps obsolete, thus making him the authority of the trans-Mississippi west.
## Mexican--American War and Gadsden Purchase {#mexicanamerican_war_and_gadsden_purchase}
At the start of the Mexican--American War, Emory was selected to join General Stephen Watts Kearny and the Army of the West to take New Mexico and California. Along the way he kept a detailed journal of the march down the Rio Grande and across to the Gila River, and down it to its mouth on the Colorado River, then to the Pacific coast. Published by the Thirtieth United States Congress in 1848 as *Notes of a Military Reconnaissance from Fort Leavenworth to San Diego*, it became an important guide book for the road to Southern California. This report described terrain and rivers, cities and forts and made observations about Native Americans and Mexicans, primarily in the future New Mexico Territory, Arizona Territory and Southern California. It was and is considered one of the important chronicles and descriptions of the historic Southwest, particularly noted for its maps. Emory was a reliable and conscientious cartographer.
After the War, Emory was sent with a crew to survey the new United States-Mexico boundary, first from the mouth of the Gila across California to the coast and then second, with the Bartlett survey from El Paso west, 1849--1853. A dispute arose among the Mexicans and Americans over the location of the starting line near El Paso caused by an error in the original map referred to in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848). A compromise by John Bartlett brought an international incident when neither side agreed to the boundary and threatened renewed hostilities in the Mesilla Valley above El Paso. A compromise was reached with the Gadsden Purchase of 1854, and Emory was selected to lead the American boundary commission to survey, 1855--1856, the new boundary line (earlier he had influenced the debate over approving the treaty by advising Senator Thomas Jefferson Rusk of Texas on the best route for a southern transcontinental railroad, one of the key points of the Gadsden Treaty).
There is a story of testament as to Emory\'s dedication to accuracy that says John Bartlett, his supervisor in the boundary survey, made him sign off on a misplaced boundary marker, creating a sweet revenge for Emory who replaced him as Head of the International Boundary Commission in 1855. But William H. Emory did more than just map the terrain; he also made notes about the plant life as well as the people who inhabited the sparsely populated Southwest. Notating the social relations of some of the Native American people, he wrote: \"Women, when captured, are taken as wives by those who capture them, but they are treated by the Indian wives of the capturers as slaves, and made to carry wood and water; if they chance to be pretty, or receive too much attention from their lords and masters, they are, in the absence of the latter, unmercifully beaten and otherwise maltreated. The most unfortunate thing which can befall a captive woman is to be claimed by two persons. In this case, she is either shot or delivered up for indiscriminate violence.\"\[2\] His multi-volume boundary survey published as the *Report of the United States and Mexican Boundary Commission, Made Under the Direction of the Secretary of the Interior*, 2 vols (Washington, GPO, 1857--1859, reprint Austin:Texas Historical Association, 1987) was not only a contribution to understanding the geography of the region but was a long-standing scientific contribution to the natural history of the region.

## American Civil War {#american_civil_war}
In 1861, when the American Civil War broke out, Emory was stationed in the Indian Territory. Anticipating the possible capture of his troops by Confederates, he secured the services of Black Beaver, a famous Lenape warrior, to guide Emory\'s troops to safety. He promised that the government would compensate Black Beaver for the loss of his ranch. Emory withdrew Union troops from Fort Washita to Fort Leavenworth. During the withdrawal, Black Beaver scouted pursuing enemy troops, and Emory attacked and captured lead elements of his pursuers, the first prisoners captured during the Civil War.

At the onset of the Civil War, Emory was concerned for his family and wrote a letter of resignation on May 9, 1861. He immediately regretted his decision and tried to prevent the delivery of the letter but was unable to do so. In spite of his resignation letter, he was informally commissioned as major general of the 3rd, later 6th, Cavalry. However, an official review was required that included testimony on his behalf from General Winfield Scott and Lieutenant A. V. Colburn, as well as Emory\'s own testimony to Secretary of War and the Senate before his resignation was formally rescinded and his rank was officially confirmed.
Emory served as a brigade commander in the Army of the Potomac in 1862, and was transferred to the Western Theater. He was promoted to brigadier general of volunteers on March 17, 1862. He later commanded a division in the Port Hudson campaign. He subsequently returned to the East as the commander of the Nineteenth Corps, serving in all the major battles in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1864, especially at the Battle of Cedar Creek, where Emory\'s actions helped save the Union army from a devastating defeat until Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan\'s arrival.
At the end of the war, Emory held the rank of colonel in the regular army and a brevet (honorary promotion) as major general. He was promoted to major general in the volunteers on September 25, 1865, and was mustered out of the volunteers on January 15, 1866.

## Postbellum
After the war, Emory held a number of posts, most importantly commander of the Department of the Gulf (which included the Federal troops in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi)--a demanding and dangerous Reconstruction assignment. On April 2, 1868, he testified in the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson, having been called as a witness by the prosecution.
In September 1874, President Ulysses S. Grant ordered Emory to New Orleans, where he successfully negotiated a peace with the conservative White League who had taken over the city by military force. As a result, Republican Governor Kellogg was restored to power and the White League disbanded. For political reasons, General Sheridan removed Emory from command and saw to it that he was retired in 1876. The Department of the Gulf was soon shifted to Sheridan\'s large Division of the Missouri, which included Texas.
He was a companion of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. In 1879 he became a Veteran Member of the Aztec Club of 1847.
## Marriage and family {#marriage_and_family}
Emory married Matilda Wilkins Bache on May 29, 1838, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Bache was the daughter of Richard Bache Jr. and Sophia Burrell Dallas. She was a granddaughter of Sarah Franklin Bache and Richard Bache, and a great-granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin, as well as a niece of George Mifflin Dallas, the 11th Vice President of the United States, serving under James K. Polk.
Emory and his wife had a total of 10 children. His eldest son, Brevet Lieut. Colonel Campbell Dallas Emory, 9th United States Infantry, was Aide de Camp to Major General George G. Meade during the Civil War, and a younger son, William H. Emory Jr., was a rear admiral in the United States Navy.
He was also a first cousin of Bishop John Emory.
## Death
Emory died December 1, 1887, in Washington, D.C. He is buried in the Congressional Cemetery there.
## Commemoration
While attending the United States Military Academy at West Point, he earned the nickname \"Bold Emory\".
Emory Pass, 8,228 feet, in the Black Range of southwest New Mexico was named for him.
Emory Peak (7,825 ft) in Big Bend National Park is named for him.
Fort Emory was named for him in 1942. It is now used as a training area for Special Forces.
In 1853, Baird and Girard named the Great Plains rat snake, *Pantherophis emoryi*, for Emory. The first specimens of this snake species were collected by John H. Clark and Arthur Schott at Howard Springs, Texas, under Emory\'s leadership during the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey. Emory is also commemorated in the scientific name of the Texas spiny softshell turtle, *Apalone spinifera emoryi*, Emory\'s crucifixion thorn (*Castela emoryi)* of the plant family Simaroubaceae, the cacti *Grusonia emoryi* and *Bergerocactus emoryi*, as well as the genus *Emorya* in the *Buddleja* tribe of the plant family Scrophulariaceae.
Emory Elementary School in San Diego bears his namesake, and is located 2.5 mi north of the border which he determined between the United States and Mexico from the Colorado River to San Diego/Tijuana, near the border\'s western end.
The astronauts of Apollo 17 named a small crater after him.

# Farlesthorpe
**Farlesthorpe** is a hamlet in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 2 mi south-east from Alford, and about 7 mi north-east from Spilsby. It is in the civil parish of Bilsby.
Dating from the 9th Century, Farlesthorpe was originally a Danish settlement. The origins of the name of Farlesthorpe are unknown but in the *Domesday Book* it is given as \"Haroldestrop\". It has also been spelt as Earlsthorpe and Faraldesthorpe.
The first church was built in the early 13th Century and dedicated to Saint Andrew. The present Grade II listed church was built in 1800, of brick and stone, and restored in 1881 and 1953. The small polygonal chancel with an apse and lancets was added in 1912. The altar slab is ancient, and there is a large stone font with a wooden lid.
The East Coast Main Line railway used to run through the village, and the disused trackbed is now part of a nature reserve

# Sacisaurus
***Sacisaurus*** (\"Saci lizard\") is a silesaurid dinosauriform from the Late Triassic (Norian) Caturrita Formation of southern Brazil. The scientific name, *Sacisaurus agudoensis*, refers to the city where the species was found, Agudo in the Rio Grande do Sul state, whereas *Sacisaurus* refers to Saci, a famous one-legged creature from Brazilian mythology, because among the dozens of fossil material unearthed, 35 right femora were collected whereas only 1 left femur was found.
## Characteristics
*Sacisaurus* was approximately 1.1 m long and 35 cm high, based on the largest femoral specimen. Some elements that were originally mentioned in the description study were reassigned to other taxa afterwards. Its long and strong legs indicate that it was a fast animal. The biggest teeth of the genus were just 3 mm long. The well-preserved jaw indicates that *Sacisaurus* was an herbivore, and there is a process at the tip that resembles the ornithischian predentary bone. Further research attempted to define if *Sacisaurus* was the oldest ornithischian dinosaur. In 2011, a cladistic analysis of some of its morphological particularities found that its closest relative was the silesaurid *Diodorus*, from Morocco.
## History
*Sacisaurus* was discovered in 2001 in the small municipality of Agudo, in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul state. With 50 bones, scientists led by paleontologist Jorge Ferigolo assembled the skeleton and speculated on how the animal might have lived. The fossil was presented for the first time in the 2nd Latin American Congress of Vertebrate Paleontology in 2005. .
After the work of Brazilian scientists, the announcement of the discovery of the new species was made on November 1, 2006 at the University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, where the bones were identified and the paper was published in the British scientific journal *Historical Biology: A Journal of Paleobiology* on October 30, 2006.
The discovery helped scientists to study the feeding habits of dinosaurs and their close relatives, since it is one of the oldest ever found

# Oscar Judd
**Thomas William Oscar Judd** (February 14, 1908 -- December 27, 1995) was a Canadian-born professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies. Listed at 6 ft and 180 lb, he threw and batted left-handed.
## Biography
Judd\'s pro career began in 1934 at age 26. He appeared for the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League in one game, then joined the vast St. Louis Cardinals farm system. By 1940, at age 32, he had returned to the PCL, where he won 22 games for the Redbirds\' Sacramento Solons affiliate. That autumn, he was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the Rule 5 draft.
Judd was primarily used as a starting pitcher during his eight-season major-league career. He made his major-league debut on April 16, 1941, in relief for the Red Sox against the Washington Senators at Fenway Park. He pitched in just six more games for Boston that year but did earn his first major-league save.
His first major-league win came in his second season and second major league start, a 13--4 victory over the Senators at Griffith Stadium on April 22, 1942. The losing pitcher was Hall of Famer Early Wynn. Judd finished the season 8--10 with a 3.89 earned run average (ERA).
Judd\'s best season was 1943. The 36-year-old was 11--6 with a 2.90 ERA and was an American League All-Star. Two years later, on May 31, 1945, he was selected off waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies from the Red Sox. His overall record for Boston in five seasons was 20--18 with an ERA of 3.68 in 72 games.
His best season with Philadelphia was 1946, when he won 11 games, lost 12, and had a .316 batting average for a mediocre Phillies team that finished in fifth place with a 69--85 record. He finished in a tie for 36th place in the National League MVP voting.
Judd was 40 years old when he made his final major league appearance on May 11, 1948. He was the sixth-oldest player to appear in a National League game that season.
Career totals for 206 games (161 as a pitcher) include a 40--51 record, 99 games started, 43 complete games, 4 shutouts, 32 games finished, and 7 saves. He allowed 334 earned runs in `{{frac|771|1|3}}`{=mediawiki} innings pitched for a 3.90 ERA. As a hitter he was well above average for a pitcher, and was used 42 times as a pinch hitter. His lifetime batting average was .262 (83-for-317) with 3 home runs, 19 runs batted in, a .322 on-base percentage, and a slugging average of .356. He only grounded into two double plays during his entire career. Judd finished in his league\'s top ten five times for wild pitches, leading the National League with 8 in 1947.
Judd was elected to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1986. He died in 1995 at the age of 87 in Ingersoll, Ontario

# Quintet for clarinet and strings (Moore)
**Quintet for clarinet and strings** is a piece of chamber music by the American composer Douglas Moore.
## Background
In 1946, the Juilliard School of Music requested from Moore a chamber piece to be performed at a school concert the following year. He worked at and finished the piece during the summer of 1946 at his home in Cutchogue. The premiere was given the following year. It was first performed on May 6, 1947 by the Juilliard String Quartet, Harry Noble soloist.
## Structure and Analysis {#structure_and_analysis}
The work is in traditional sonata form and consists of four movements
1. *Allegro risoluto*
2. *Andante comodo*
3. *Adagio recitativo*
4. *Allegro ritmico*
The first movement is the most dynamic and is chiefly dominated by a tensely rhythmic figure achieved by a triplet laid over a duplet. This duality of rhythm becomes most obvious when the two components are handled by different instruments, but the combination and tension that is achieved gives this movement its impetus
The second movement is considerably relaxed in mood and is introduced by a melodic figure on violin which becomes the contrapuntal background to the main theme, first given by clarinet. The theme subsequently continues throughout the piece.
The third movement is the shortest movement of the quintet, it commences with a brooding soliloquy on clarinet accompanied by the viola which is the picked up by the remaining strings and is allowed to fade out.
The finale consists of a robust, dancing and peasant-like refrain of shifting rhythm which alternates in the fashion of a rondo with contrasting material. It is the quintet\'s most joyful movement.
## Reception
The clarinet quintet was quite favourably received upon its first performance and the *New York Herald Tribune* praised its: \"Spontaneous lyricism, expert craftmanship and utter freedom from stylistic mannerisms\". It is Moore\'s most famous and popular chamber piece and has received (as of 2006) at least two commercial recordings

# Lyric Symphony
The ***Lyric Symphony*** (*Lyrische Symphonie*), Op. 18, is a musical work for soprano and baritone soloists and large orchestra composed between 1922 and 1923 by Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky.
## Composition and performance history {#composition_and_performance_history}
The work was begun in April 1922. In a letter to his publishers of 19 September 1922, Zemlinsky described the work-in-progress as \"\...something along the lines of \[Mahler\'s\] *Das Lied von der Erde*\". The orchestration was completed in August 1923. The sung texts are taken from *The Gardener* by Rabindranath Tagore in a German translation by Hans Effenberger.
The work received its premiere in Prague at the New German Theatre on June 4, 1924, under the composer\'s direction. The vocal solos were sung by Tilly de Garmo and Joseph Schwarz.
## Structure
The work is in seven connected movements, sung alternately by the two soloists:
- (\"I am restless. I am athirst for far-away things\")
- (\"O mother, the young Prince\")
- (\"You are the evening cloud\")
- (\"Speak to me, my love\")
- (\"Release me from the bonds of your sweetness, Love\")
- (\"Then finish the last song\")
- (\"Peace, my heart\")
The performance duration is approximately 45 minutes.
Alban Berg quoted the third movement in his *Lyric Suite* for string quartet
