# 1947 Philippine Senate election Elections for the Senate of the Philippines were held on November 11, 1947, with eight of the 24 seats in the Senate being contested. These eight seats were elected regularly; the winners were eligible to serve six-year terms from December 30, 1947, until December 30, 1953. Gubernatorial and local elections were held on the same date. ## Electoral system {#electoral_system} Philippine Senate elections are held via plurality block voting with staggered elections, with the country as an at-large district. The Senate has 24 seats, of which 8 seats are up every 2 years. The eight seats up were last contested in 1941, or the eight seats not contested in 1946; each voter has eight votes and can vote up to eight names, of which the eight candidates with the most votes winning the election. ## Summary Going into the 1947 election, the Senate consisted of nine Liberals, 14 Nacionalista, and one Popular Front (Vicente Y. Sotto). Of the seats up for election in 1947, all eight seats were held by Nacionalistas. Senate President Jose Avelino, president of the Liberal Party, scored the opposition and said, \"the Nacionalista Party of today is not the party of Quezon and Osmeña \... (it is) the party of Hukbalahaps and other dissident elements.\" In response, Nacionalista Party President Eulogio Rodriguez appealed for the voters to give the opposition a stronger mandate to fiscalize the administration, which they accused of being corrupt and incompetent. In the 1st Congress, the Liberals held 14 seats in the Senate, thereby retaining control of the Senate. The Liberals\' total was reduced to 13 seats pursuant to the Senate Electoral Tribunal resolution in which Senator Carlos Tan (Liberal) was unseated and replaced by Eulogio Rodriguez (Nacionalista) in 1949. Geronima Pecson became the first woman to be elected in the Senate. ## Retiring incumbents {#retiring_incumbents} 1. Esteban de la Rama (Nacionalista) 2. Pedro Hernaez (Nacionalista) 3.

The strong and high waves under the sail provide the logo with solidity, vitality and sustainability and challenges, as represented by the flood of competitors in the various games, hosted in the high seas, and at the same time, touching the attractive Omani beaches, giving the local dimension of the nature of the beach games\' tournament. The expressions under the beach are colored by the bright colors of the Omani flag, expressing the devotion of the Omani people to their deep-rooted customs and traditions, expressed in the complete harmony of the elements. ## Development Omran (Omani Government owned tourism company) developed the dedicated 100 Hectare Site at Wudam Al Sahil near Muscat to host the 2010 Asian Beach Games.

# Ramón Allende Padín **Ramón Allende Padín** (19 March 1845 -- 14 October 1884), nicknamed *El Rojo* (\"The Red\"), was a Chilean physician and political figure. The author of several important scientific publications, he also headed the Chilean Army\'s medical services during the War of the Pacific. Allende was of Basque descent. ## Biography The son of José Gregorio Allende Garcés and Salomé Padín Ruiz, Allende was born in Valparaíso. He studied at the Liceo de Valparaíso and the Instituto Nacional before graduating, on 20 June 1865, from the Universidad de Chile as a physician specializing in obstetrics and surgery. He was an assistant professor of the School of Medicine, becoming a full professor in November 1865. In 1870 he became the Chief Doctor of Valparaíso\'s emergency public hospital, the Hospital de Sanidad. He also worked with Professor Wenceslao Díaz and at the San Borja and San Vicente de Paul hospitals. In 1875 President Federico Errázuriz Zañartu appointed him to the Public Welfare Committee, charged with a reforming brief. Allende joined the Radical Party and was in 1876 elected as deputy for Santiago. He was reelected in 1879, this time for Copiapó and Caldera. He also served from 8 December 1879 to 1 November 1880 as chairman of the Council on Public Hygiene. On 28 September 1880, during the War of the Pacific (1879--1884), Dr Allende was appointed Superintendent of the Army Medical Services. During this time he attended the troops as chief medical officer in charge of the Ambulance Service (an \"ambulance\" at the time was a mobile hospital of about 20 beds, equipped for the performance of emergency field surgery). As such he is considered to be the founder of the Chilean Army Medical Corps. Allende headed the \"Justice and Liberty\" Masonic Lodge and was a notorious enemy of the Catholic Church, which excommunicated him. He was also editor of the newspapers *Guía para el Pueblo* (\"The People\'s guide\") and *El Deber* (\'\"Duty\'\"). He was nominated as a member of the Public Instruction Committee and in this role he founded several schools, among them the Blas Cuevas School in Valparaíso, the first masonically controlled school. He was also a director of the Corps of Firemen. Allende was elected to the Senate in 1882, and in 1884 he became Masonic Grand Master, but died a few months later, aged 39, from complications of diabetes. Allende\'s funeral -- at which the public eulogy was delivered by the radical leader Enrique Mac-Iver and two future presidents of Chile, José Manuel Balmaceda and Ramón Barros Luco, carried the coffin -- turned into a gigantic political meeting. ## Personal life {#personal_life} On 24 April 1869 Allende married Eugenia Castro del Fierro, with whom he had three sons: Ramón, Tomás and Salvador. From his third and youngest son he was the grandfather of President Salvador Allende

His work deals mainly with the nature of power: how entrenched elites seek to retain it, and how challengers seek to undermine their legitimacy. ## Writings on Thailand {#writings_on_thailand} McCargo\'s PhD thesis, *The political leadership of Major-General Chamlong Srimuang* was published in a revised form as a 1997 book. Since then McCargo has published several other books on Thailand. His earlier Thai books include: *Politics and the Press in Thailand* (2000), a fieldwork-based study for which he spent a year embedded in the editorial rooms of several leading Thai language newspapers; *Reforming Thai Politics* (2002) an edited volume which has become the standard work on the political reform process of the 1990s, containing chapters by a range of leading Thai and foreign scholars and activists; and *The Thaksinization of Thailand*, a widely cited analysis of the politics surrounding controversial former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, co-authored with the revisionist political economist Ukrist Pathamanand. Apart from his twelve books, McCargo has published a number of articles in journals including *Critical Asian Studies*, *Journal of Asian Studies*, *Journal of Democracy* and *New Left Review*. His writings regarding the \"network monarchy\", a term he coined to describe King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his proxies, particularly former Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanond, have been influential among Thai academics. His was the only journal article selected by *Foreign Affairs* for their seven-item list of essential reading on Thai politics. Other McCargo articles deal critically with issues such as constitutionalism, the politics surrounding Buddhism, and the role of the military. He was critical of the 2006 and 2014 military coups in Thailand. McCargo\'s work forms by now a basis of Thai studies, as evidenced by his many publications, awards and appointments mentioned here. At the same time, all of McCargo\'s work on Thailand and Southeast Asia forms part of his larger intellectual project on the nature of power and justice, which has a broad comparative reach.

# Duncan McCargo ## Work on the southern Thai conflict {#work_on_the_southern_thai_conflict} From 2005 to 2010, McCargo worked primarily on the violent conflict affecting Thailand\'s southern border provinces, spending a year driving around the region and interviewing more than 270 informants. His southern Thai project produced three books: the edited collection *Rethinking Thailand's Southern Violence* (2007), which is based on a 2006 special issue of the journal *Critical Asian Studies*; the research monograph *Tearing Apart the Land: Islam and Legitimacy in Southern Thailand* (2008); and a second monograph, *Mapping National Anxieties: Thailand\'s Southern Conflict* in 2012. In the same year, a Thai translation of *Tearing Apart the Land* was published by Kobfai. *Tearing Apart the Land* has been widely reviewed; *Time* magazine wrote, \"No armchairs for this author: he researched the book by crisscrossing southern Thailand in a temperamental 1989 Mercedes, hastening back to the town of Pattani by nightfall to avoid militant booby traps. McCargo is the real McCoy.\" *Pacific Affairs* wrote of *Tearing Apart the Land:* \"The nuances and complexities of this argument can be obtained only by a thorough reading of the book. It is by far the best analysis to date of the complexities of life in the insurgent area.\" (Volume 82, No. 4 -- Winter 2009/2010, pp. 740--41). In a full-length review essay in London Review of Books, Joshua Kurlantzick declared, \"Thailand, once known as one of the most stable democracies in Asia, is in political and economic crisis\....Southern Thailand now resembles a war zone\....McCargo gives a thorough explanation of why unrest began in southern Thailand, and why it has spread\...\" (25 March 2010). Reviewing the book in the *Journal of Asian Studies* (May 1010) Robert W. Hefner wrote, \"McCargo has sifted through the details of this tragic conflict with extraordinary diligence and insight. The result is a small masterpiece of investigative rigor and balance.\". McCargo\'s core argument is that the southern conflict is a political problem. Militants tap into local resentment concerning Bangkok\'s refusal to grant the region any real say in the management of its affairs. Without some form of political compromise, the conflict may prove intractable, but a solution remains perfectly possible. *Tearing Apart the Land* won the Asia Society\'s inaugural Bernard Schwartz Book Prize for 2009, worth US\$20,000. Jury co-chair Professor Carol Gluck described it as a \"vivid on-the-ground account of the Thai insurgency showing how national politics, rather than minority religion, drives the violence that is too often ascribed either to ethnicity or Islam. This is a lesson that applies not only to Southeast Asia but to many parts of the world.\"

# Duncan McCargo ## Other writings {#other_writings} Not all of McCargo\'s work has been on Thailand. He has also conducted research in Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines. His 2003 book *Media and Politics in Pacific Asia*, a companion volume to his Thai press book, develops a comparative argument, arguing against simply \"modelling\" the political role of the media, in favour of an eclectic approach emphasising the different forms of agency deployed by media actors, which he terms \"partisan polyvalence\". His media work has won him an audience in the field of communications studies, whose standard assumptions he regularly challenges. In 2012 he published a chapter in *Comparing Media Systems: Beyond the Western World*, a book edited by Dan Hallin and Paolo Mancini. The chapter contains his critical responses to their earlier comparative work on developing models for the relationship between media and politics. He has also edited a book on Vietnam (2004). His book *Contemporary Japan* (third edition 2013) is widely assigned even by Japanologists as an introductory student text, and has been translated into Malaysian, Chinese and Korean. Religion has been a central theme of McCargo\'s work, dating back to his doctoral research on Chamlong\'s links with the Santi Asoke Buddhist movement. His writings on Thai Buddhism, which he claims is an obstacle to, rather than an asset for processes of democratization in the country, have generated controversy, and have been extensively challenged in two books by the leading scholar-monk Prayudh Payutto. His work on the southern Thai conflict dealt extensively with the role of Islam in Thailand\'s Malay-majority region. ## Writings on justice and politics {#writings_on_justice_and_politics} Between 2011 and 2014, McCargo held a Leverhulme Trust major research fellowship to examine issues relating to justice and politics in Thailand, from which he has published a number of articles. McCargo spent 2012 conducting fieldwork in Thailand, including participant-observation in courts and police stations; his primary focus was on a number of politically related court cases brought since 2006. This project was written up in *Fighting for Virtue: Justice and Politics in Thailand* (Cornell 2019). *Fighting for Virtue* was launched simultaneously on 23 April 2020 in Copenhagen and New York. McCargo has also written critical examinations of transitional justice initiatives, both in Southeast Asia and more broadly. His theoretical approach draws on critiques of legalism and constitutionalism as applied - or mis-applied - to the solution of deep-rooted political problems or conflicts. ## Urbanized villagers {#urbanized_villagers} In 2011, McCargo published an influential article with his former PhD student Naruemon Thabchumpon in which they coined the term \"urbanized villagers\", to describe the socio-economic basis of the pro-Thaksin redshirt movement. They argue that the bedrock of the redshirts comprises \"poor farmers\" who are really neither poor nor farmers: though legally resident in provinces of the North and Northeast, they derive most their income from selling their labor and running small businesses, often in the greater Bangkok area. Former prime minister Thaksin succeeded in capturing the loyalty of this group by persuading them that he was working on behalf of their economic and political interests. The phenomenon found in Thailand, whereby a traditional elite allied with a metropolitan middle class finds itself threatened and outnumbered by the rise of urbanized villagers, can be seen in many other countries. In another co-authored article, McCargo has compared the social structure of Thailand with that of Turkey. ## Future Forward {#future_forward} In 2020, McCargo published *Future Forward: The Rise and Fall of a Thai Political Party* (with Anyarat Chattharakul). Written during a 12-week COVID-19 pandemic lockdown between March and June 2020, the book makes use of digital ethnography methods, including virtual interviews and focus groups, as well as extensive exploration of online sources, especially YouTube. It examines the phenomenon of Thailand\'s short-lived Future Forward Party through three main chapters on leaders, voters and the party itself. *Future Forward* is written in a highly accessible style using personal narratives and anecdotes, but is framed by the authors\' deep academic understanding of the country\'s changing electoral politics. It highlights the salience of Generation Z, digital natives under 25 who overwhelmingly supported the fledgling party. At the book\'s launch event at the Foreign Correspondents\' Club of Thailand on 16 November 2020, distinguished Thailand scholar Chris Baker called *Future Forward* a \'super book\' and an \'instant classic\'.

# Thorpe Marsh Power Station **Thorpe Marsh Power Station** was a 1 GW coal-fired power station near Barnby Dun in South Yorkshire, England. The station was commissioned in 1963 and closed in 1994. In 2011, permission was given for the construction of a gas-fired power station on the site. ## History ### Construction and operation, (1959--1994) {#construction_and_operation_19591994} Construction of the station began in 1959; it was built as a prototype for all the large modern power stations in the UK. It was commissioned between 1963 and 1965. Thorpe Marsh was one of the CEGB\'s twenty steam power stations with the highest thermal efficiency; in 1963--4 the thermal efficiency was 31.50 per cent, 32.76 per cent in 1964--5, and 33.09 per cent in 1965--6. There were 2 × 28 MW auxiliary gas turbines on the site, these had been commissioned in December 1966. The plant was officially opened in 1967. The station contained two 550 MW generating units with cross compound turbines, supplied from a single boiler. Steam was supplied at 2300 psi at 1050 F. The annual electricity output of Thorpe Marsh was: Year 1963--4 1964--5 1965--6 1966--7 1971--2 1978--9 1981--2 --------------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Electricity supplied, GWh 581 1,697 1,803 2,804 3,660 3,750 4,296 : Electricity output of Thorpe Marsh On 7 January 1973, four workmen died. A coroner\'s report gave a verdict of accidental death; subsequently the Factory Inspectorate began legal proceedings against the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) for breaches in safety provisions. After the privatisation of the CEGB in 1990, the station was operated by National Power. The station subsequently closed in 1994. ### Post closure (1994--) {#post_closure_1994} The 110 acre site was acquired by Able UK in 1995. During the 2007 United Kingdom floods, the 400 kV substation at the site was temporarily shut down on 27 June, whilst the 275 kV substation was not affected; operational service was fully restored by early 28 June. In October 2011, the Department of Energy and Climate Change approved the construction of a 1,500 MW combined cycle gas turbine power station at Thorpe Marsh by Thorpe Marsh Power Limited (parent Acorn Power Developments, see Acorn Energy) with an estimated cost of £984 million. Thorpe Marsh Power Limited proposed an initial capacity of 960 MW. The proposed development would also require the construction of an 18 km gas pipeline from Camblesforth; the gas pipeline was approved in 2016. Able UK demolished the original power station\'s cooling towers in 2012. In 2022 plans were unveiled to build a 1.4 GW / 3.1 GWh battery energy storage system on the site, named the \"Thorpe Marsh Energy Park\". A 1 GW / 2 GWh battery is also planned at the adjacent Almholme site. Local news sources have highlighted the projects\' potential in repurposing the old power station\'s infrastructure

# Teesside power station **Teesside Power Station** is a former gas-fired power station, in Redcar & Cleveland, England. Situated near the Wilton chemical complex, the station had combined cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) and open cycle gas turbines (OCGTs), however in 2011 the operation of the CCGT part of the station was suspended, and in 2013 the owners announced its closure and plans to demolish it. Prior to the suspension, the station had a generating capacity of 1875 megawatts (MW), making it the largest of any CCGT power station in Europe. The station could meet almost 3% of the electricity demand for England, Wales and Scotland. Opened in 1993, the station was initially operated by Enron but moved into the hands of PX Ltd after the Enron scandal of 2001, before being bought by Gaz de France and Suez in 2008. The station also worked as a cogeneration plant, providing steam for the Wilton complex. ## History The power station was constructed on a 23 acre site at the Wilton chemical complex near Middlesbrough in north east England. Construction of the station began in December 1990 and took twenty nine months to complete. The main contracted construction work was undertaken by Westinghouse and Wimpey, employing a largely local workforce of 3,000. The station was commissioned in April 1993. The station was originally owned and operated by US energy company Enron. A visitor centre at the power station was opened by MP Mo Mowlam on 6 November 1998. During maintenance closure in August 2001, an explosion in one of the power station\'s transformers killed three workers and injured another man. After Enron\'s bankruptcy in 2002, the power station was sold to a management buyout. It was owned by Teesside Power Limited (TPL) and operated on behalf of its owners by PX Limited. In October 2007 it was put up for sale by its private equity owners Cargill and Goldman Sachs, valued between £200 million and £300 million. On 25 February 2008 the station was acquired jointly by Gaz de France and Suez. Plans for a £500 million upgrade of the station were granted planning permission in 2008. This upgrade would have consisted of replacing the existing generating equipment with four 300 MW gas turbines and two 340 MW steam turbines. This would retain the power station\'s current capacity. However, with no work having begun by 2010, a five-year extension to the permission was granted in April 2010. Following a merger between GDF and International Power in 2010, the ownership of the site was shifted to the latter company. On 1 April 2011, GDF surrendered 1,830 MW of transmission entry capacity (TEC) of the station and ceased operations of the CCGT element of the plant leaving the Open Cycle gas turbine as the only available machine, leaving the station with an operating capacity of 45 MW. This was due to the low cost of energy imports and a weak market in the UK, resulting in a need to save on operating costs. MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland Tom Blenkinsop also criticised the move, calling on Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Chris Huhne to *\"see to it that the* \[owners\] *\... are not allowed to pull the plug on this plant at this time.\"* in relation to forthcoming end of the lives of UK coal and nuclear plants. The owners, GDF Suez, announced in 2013, their intention to permanently close and demolish the plant. This was completed by early 2015. In 2018, the local authority was told it had to pay £2.6m to GDF Suez due to a backdated re-evaluation of business rates for the site. ## Specifications With a total generating capacity of 1,875 MW, the station had the largest generating capacity of any CCGT power station in Europe, although it had been the largest in the world at the time of opening. It was able to generate enough electricity to provide 3% of England, Wales and Scotland\'s combined power needs. The electricity was produced by a number of generators. These were: eight 152 MW Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Westinghouse 701DA gas turbines, each fitted with a Nooter Eriksen heat recovery steam generator, with supplementary firing; two 305 MW Mitsubishi Westinghouse steam turbines; and a single 43 MW LM6000 General Electric black start gas turbine. These generators were fuelled by natural gas, propane and naphtha. As of 1 April 2011, the station was only generating 45 MW after a partial mothballing of the station. The gas fuel used in the power station was provided from a nearby gas processing plant. It was also connected to UK national gas transmission grid. Water used in the station\'s steam cycle was cooled by three cooling towers. Electricity generated at the station was distributed to the National Grid via 275-kilovolt (kV) substations built by ABB. As well as generating electricity, the station also produced heat in the form of 800 tonne of process steam per hour for the adjacent Wilton chemical complex, and 2,000 tonne of gas liquids per day, in the form of propane, butane and hydrocarbons

# Midland, California **Midland** is a ghost town in Riverside County in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of California. It is adjacent to the Little Maria Mountains and located about 20 mi northwest of Blythe. It is accessible from Blythe in the south via Lovekin Boulevard and Midland Road, and from Rice in the north via Rice-Midland Road. From 1925 to the 1960s, Midland was a company town owned by the U.S. Gypsum Co. The company had mined vast amounts of gypsum found in the area. Midland was also the site of a large plant that produced wallboard and plasterboard. For some time, there was a three part railroad between the quarry and the crusher, the last part being a `{{RailGauge|3ft|lk=on}}`{=mediawiki} narrow gauge line running few miles. The town\'s water was shipped from Blythe by rail. At its peak, the town had a population of approximately 1,000. As the character of the gypsum found in the area was considered too heavy as the years went on, company activity in Midland subsided and then ended in 1966. Many winter scenes in Hollywood films during the 20th century utilized faux snow that originated from Midland. In the 1960s (before the town\'s demise), a gypsum mine 3 mi west of the plant and abandoned in 1948 was converted into the largest fallout shelter in the county. Most of the buildings of Midland were torn down, and today only foundations remain. In 1970, a 150,000 gallon water tank from Midland was moved on skids by tractor to the new Mesa Ranch Mobile Home Park and a housing site in northwest Blythe

# Paul Hall (labor leader) **Paul Hall** (August 21, 1914 -- June 22, 1980) was an American labor leader from Inglenook in Jefferson County, Alabama. He was a founding member and president of the Seafarers International Union (SIU) from 1957 to 1980. He was the senior vice president of the AFL--CIO at the time of his death. ## Early life and career {#early_life_and_career} Paul Hall was born in Inglenook, Alabama on August 21, 1914. He started shipping as a teenager in the early 1930s, mostly as a wiper and Fireman/Watertender and Oiler (FOWT). He also earned a 2nd Engineer license, but never sailed under it. 1938 saw the founding of SIU and Paul Hall was a charter member. He made his presence felt immediately. He was a tough, hard-nosed union activist and his early waterfront battles left him with ugly knife scars on his arms and legs. His first official post in the union was as patrolman in the port of Baltimore in 1944. He rapidly moved up to become port agent in New York and then Director of Organizing for the SIU Atlantic and Gulf District. Then in 1947, he became chief executive officer of SIU-Atlantic Gulf Lakes and Inland Water District, at the age of 32. He held this post until his death. Paul Hall led the SIU in the General strike of 1947 when seamen won unprecedented gains in wages and conditions. He also organized key breakthroughs for the union in bringing Isthmian Lines (with 125 ships) and Cities Service Tankers (a strongly anti-union company) under the SIU banner. Through collective bargaining, he also established the Seafarers Welfare, Pension and Vacation Plans. By 1954, the SIU had aided with, as Paul used to say, \"money, marbles and chalk\" a total of 75 brother unions in strikes and organizing campaigns. These constant battles to help other unions earned Paul Hall the lifelong reputation of one who got things done and who could always be counted on for help no matter what the problem. ## President of SIU {#president_of_siu} In 1957, Paul Hall became president of SIU-North America, succeeding the late Harry Lundeberg, a post he held until his death. In the same year, he became president of the AFL--CIO Maritime Trades Department. When Hall took over the Maritime Trades Department, it was a struggling organization made up of only six small unions. He built it into the most active and effective political force in the family of the trade union movement. At his death, it comprised 43 national and international unions representing nearly 8 million American workers. In 1962, he was elected to the AFL--CIO Executive Council. He was senior vice president of the AFL--CIO and one of its most influential members at the time of his death. He fought continually at the bargaining table. In the words of SIU Vice President Red Campbell, \"Paul Hall would go into a room of shipowners. They\'d throw apples and oranges on the table and he\'d come out with the fruit salad.\" He established the Seafarers Harry Lundeberg School of Seamanship in Piney Point, Maryland in 1967 in order to give young people the chance for a career at sea. Since then, the school has developed into among the finest maritime training schools in the country. Thousands of SIU members have advanced their skills, and thousands of young people from deprived backgrounds have found employment through the school.

# Libertarian Party of Texas The **Libertarian Party of Texas** is the state affiliate of the Libertarian Party in Texas. ## History In 1971, Texas was one of the 13 original founding state parties at the first Libertarian Party (LP) convention in Denver, Colorado. Over the next five years, county affiliate parties were founded in Travis, Harris, Dallas, and Bexar counties. In February 1980, Charles Fuller of Houston became the first Texas libertarian to appear on the ballot as a Libertarian Party candidate. (Previous candidates ran for write-in votes or as independents.) Fuller ran in a Special Election for State Representative District 80. The party first qualified for statewide ballot access in 1980, and then again on September 1, 1982, with 41,000 petition signatures. The party ran 122 candidates that November. Legal issues making signature collection more difficult prevented the party from achieving ballot access in 1984, but it was able to collect the required 32,000 signatures in 1986 to once again make it on the ballot. Three statewide candidates achieved at least 5% of the vote that November, automatically granting the party ballot access for 1988. In the 1990 statewide elections, gubernatorial candidate Jeff Daiell (author of the novel, *From* *Roundheel To Revolutionary*) achieved 3.3% of the vote (129,128) and Comptroller candidate Gill Grisham received 5.8%, guaranteeing ballot access through 1994. Daiell\'s showing is currently the LP of Texas record in a gubernatorial race in terms of percentage; in 2018 Mark Tippetts broke the record for most votes. On March 9, 1998, U.S. District Judge James Nowlin stopped the State of Texas from requiring voter registration numbers alongside ballot access petition signatures in *Pilcher v. Rains*, brought by the Libertarian Party of Texas. In every election since except that of 2002, at least one of the party\'s candidates achieved 5% of the vote, guaranteeing ballot access. In May 2004, the party easily met the state\'s signature requirement. In the November 2006 elections, the party ran 168 candidates, and easily secured ballot access for 2008 in two-way races for state judicial positions, with the highest vote total going to Jerry Adkins for Supreme Court Place 4: 830,331 votes, or 24.5%. In the May 2019 local Texas elections, Tony Valdivia achieved 29.5% in the race for the San Antonio District 8 council seat. This result marked the first time that a Libertarian Party member exceeded 10% in a major Texas city council election. Unlike Republican and Democratic parties, the Libertarian Party of Texas holds county, district, and state conventions to nominate their candidates for public office. The party also accepts no tax dollars for its conventions. ## Officeholders - **Ed Tidwell** -- Mayor of Lago Vista - **Larry Bush** -- Jarrell City Council

# Libertarian Party of Texas ## Campaigns and elections {#campaigns_and_elections} ### 2008 campaigns The party fielded 173 candidates for federal, state, county, and local positions for the 2008 elections. The party received media attention when it announced on August 1 that Suzanna Hupp, a former Texas state representative, had called Jason Jordan and Joe Allport, two Libertarian candidates for state representative in districts Republicans were concerned with losing, asking them to drop out of the race. ### 2010 campaigns {#campaigns_1} In January 2010, the party announced 193 Libertarians filed for nomination, including five gubernatorial candidates. Texas House District 130 candidate Joe Spencer received media attention in February 2010 as a finalist for Best Information Web Site by About.com part of the New York Times Company. ### 2012 election results {#election_results} For the first time ever five Libertarians in Texas received over 1 million votes: - Jaime O. Perez, Railroad Commissioner -- 1,122,792 - RS Roberto Koelsch, Texas Supreme Court -- 1,280,886 - Tom Oxford, Texas Supreme Court -- 1,030,735 - Mark W. Bennett, Court of Criminal Appeals -- 1,326,526 - William Bryan Strange, Court of Criminal Appeals -- 1,313,746 Lillian Simmons achieved 30% in her race for Texas House. David Kinney in Hockley County had a competitive race for sheriff, receiving 2,479 votes for nearly 42% of the vote. In Lago Vista, Libertarian candidate Ed Tidwell won his seat on City Council against a longtime incumbent. ### 2021 Libertarian National Committee chair special election {#libertarian_national_committee_chair_special_election} In 2021, LP of Texas chair Whitney Bilyeu was elected as the 21st National chair of the Libertarian National Committee (LNC) in a special election

# Bristol Braemar The **Bristol Braemar** was a British heavy bomber aircraft developed at the end of the First World War for the Royal Air Force. Only two prototypes were constructed. ## Development The prototype Braemar was developed in response to the establishment of the Independent Air Force in October 1917, as a bomber capable of the long-range bombing of Berlin if necessary. A large triplane, it had internal stowage for up to six 250 lb (110 kg) bombs. The initial design featured an unusual engine installation with a central engine room housing all four engines. These were to be geared in pairs and power taken from the engines to the four propellers by power shafts. This design was abandoned early in development, and both the completed Braemars had a conventional engine installation, with the engines in inline tandem pairs, driving pusher and tractor propellers. However, the engine-room design was resurrected later in the Braemar\'s development life, for the proposed steam-powered Tramp. A contract from the Air Board for three prototypes was awarded to Bristol & Colonial on 26 February 1918. The first prototype Braemar flew on 13 August 1918, with four 230 hp Siddeley Puma engines. The prototype showed generally good performance with a top speed of 106 mph, but there were complaints from the test pilots about the view from the cockpit and the controls, and so the next aircraft produced was an improved version designated Braemar Mk.II. The Mk.II received considerably more power from its four 400 hp Liberty L-12 engines, which gave it an improved speed of 125 mph. The Braemar never entered service with the RAF, and the two prototypes were the only Braemars built. The third prototype was completed as a Pullman 14-passenger civil transport. ## Variants Type 24 Braemar I : Prototype with four 230 hp Siddeley Puma engines, one built first flown 13 March 1918. Type 25 Braemar II : Prototype with four 400 hp Liberty L-12 engines, one built first flown 18 February 1919. Type 26 Pullman : 14-passenger civil transport variant with Liberty L-12 engines, one built first flown in May 1920. ## Specifications (Braemar Mk.II) {#specifications_braemar_mk

It has Schläfli symbol {4,3^4^}, being composed of 3 5-cubes around each 4-face. It can be called a **hexeract**, a portmanteau of tesseract (the *4-cube*) with *hex* for six (dimensions) in Greek. It can also be called a regular **dodeca-6-tope** or **dodecapeton**, being a 6-dimensional polytope constructed from 12 regular facets. ## Related polytopes {#related_polytopes} It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called hypercubes. The dual of a 6-cube can be called a 6-orthoplex, and is a part of the infinite family of cross-polytopes.

# Aznar Sánchez of Gascony **Aznar** (or **Asnar**) **Sánchez** (*Aznar Antso*, *Aznard Sanche*, Gascon: *Aznar Sans*) (died 836) was the Duke of Gascony from 820. He was the supposed son of Sancho I of Gascony, though he has been identified with Aznar Galíndez I, Count of Aragon. In 824, according to the *Vita Hludowici*, the counts Aznar and Aeblus (*Eblus atque Asenarius committees*) led an army against rebellious Pamplona. According to the *Annales regni Francorum* of Einhard, they (*Aeblus et Asinarius comites*) brought a great deal of wealth with them. They were defeated in a \"second Roncesvalles\" and Pamplona gained its independence while the two counts were captured. Aznar, however, being a relative (*consanguineus*) of his captors, according to Astronomus, was released. Aznar fell out with Berengar\'s successor in the March of Gothia, Bernard of Septimania. In 828, Gascony revolted again. In 836, Aznar was killed (a horrible death)

# D. L. Clark Company The **D. L. Clark Company** was founded in 1886 in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, now part of Pittsburgh, by David L. Clark (1864--1939), an Irish-born candy salesman. In 1921, Clark Brothers Chewing Gum Company was spun off as a separate corporation. In 1955, when the family-owned D. L. Clark company was sold to Beatrice Foods, they had production facilities in Pittsburgh and Evanston, Illinois. Beatrice sold it in 1983 to Leaf, and they in turn sold Clark in 1991, though Leaf retained the rights to Clark\'s Zagnut and P. C. Crunchers bars. The new owner, entrepreneur Michael P. Carlow, would operate it under the umbrella of the Pittsburgh Food & Beverage Company. The Pittsburgh Food and Beverage Company entered bankruptcy in 1995, and many assets from the D. L. Clark Company, such as the rights to the Clark Bar, were sold. The assets of D. L. Clark were purchased by Pittsburgh businessman James Clister for \$3.2 million, and operated under the newly formed Clark Bar America, Inc. Following a subsequent bankruptcy, its assets were acquired by Necco (New England Confectionery Company) in 1999 for \$4.1 million (\$`{{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|4.1|1998}}}}`{=mediawiki} million today). Clark\'s chewing gum spinoff, renamed Clark Gum Company, was sold in 1931 to Philip Morris, who held it until 1973, when they sold the rights to Clark Gum to Reed\'s Candy, an HP Hood subsidiary. They would have the gum made through a cooperative arrangement with Amurol, a Wrigley Gum subsidiary. Reed\'s Candy was sold to Amurol in 1989, but the deal did not include the gum, retained by a newly rechristened Clark Gum Company. Clark\'s Teaberry gum is currently marketed by First Source, LLC in Buffalo, New York, and made in Mexico

# Indianola Mississippi Seeds ***Indianola Mississippi Seeds*** is B. B. King\'s eighteenth studio album. It was released in October 1970 on ABC Records on LP and May 1989 on MCA Records on CD. On this album B. B. King mixed elements of blues and rock music. Producer Bill Szymczyk decided to follow up on the success of the hit \"The Thrill Is Gone\" by matching King with a musical all-star cast. The result was one of King\'s most critically acclaimed albums and one of the most highly regarded blues crossover albums of all time. The album appeared on several of *Billboard\'s* album charts in 1970, reaching number 26 on the Pop album chart, number seven on the Jazz album chart and eight on *Billboard\'s* listing for \"Black Albums.\" The album also generated several hit singles, \"Chains and Things\", King\'s own \"Ask Me No Questions\" and Leon Russell\'s \"Hummingbird\". King himself, also, views the album as one of his greatest achievements. When asked about his best work, King has said, \"I know the critics always mention *Live & Well* or *Live at the Regal*, but I think that *Indianola Mississippi Seeds* was the best album that I\'ve done artistically.\" ## Homage paid to a hometown {#homage_paid_to_a_hometown} The album title is a tribute to King\'s upbringing near Indianola, Mississippi. Although King was born on a plantation between two smaller towns, Itta Bena and Berclair, which are actually closer to Greenwood, King has always considered Indianola his hometown. The album package --- which was itself recognized with a Grammy --- includes what appears to be a copy of B. B. King\'s birth certificate with official registration in Indianola. The liner notes also contain a note that reads, \"Congratulations Albert and Nora on your son Riley, September 16, 1925.\" Over time, King\'s hometown has paid respects back to him. In 2008, the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center opened in Indianola, with the mission to \"preserve and share the legacy and values of B. B. King, to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the Mississippi Delta, and to promote pride, hope, and understanding through exhibitions and educated programs.\" ## Critical acclaim {#critical_acclaim} *Indianola Mississippi Seeds* is one of three of B. B. Kings recordings listed in *The Rough Guide to Blues 100 Essential CDs* (along with *Live at the Regal* and *Singin\' the Blues*). The album was named No. 23 on a list of the best \"Album Chartmakers by Year\" for 1970.

# Bristol Pullman The **Bristol Pullman** was a British prototype passenger aircraft developed from the Braemar triplane heavy bomber. ## Design and development {#design_and_development} The Pullman was developed as a 14-passenger variant of the Braemar bomber. The third prototype Braemar was completed as the prototype and sole Pullman and first flew early in May 1920. It was shown at the International Aero Show at Olympia in July of that year, where its great size and interior fittings were much admired. The Pullman was one of the earliest British aircraft to have a fully enclosed crew cabin, and this feature was disliked by service pilots, who often carried fireman\'s axes with them to enable them to escape in an emergency. ## Operational history {#operational_history} Ultimately the Pullman was not accepted for squadron use by the Royal Air Force, nor was it selected for use by any civil operator. The prototype was the sole example of the type constructed or configured. ## Variants Type 26 Pullman : Passenger variant of the Braemar bomber powered by four Liberty L-12 engines, one built and first flown in May 1920, sometimes known as the Pullman 14. Type 33 Pullman 40 : Proposed upscaled 40-passenger variant, it was to be powered from a central engine room, at first with four 500 hp Siddeley Tiger engines and later by two 1500 hp steam turbines. A smaller testbed for the central engine room concept was built as the Tramp

# Arts and crafts of Himachal Pradesh Among **arts and crafts** that come out of **Himachal Pradesh** state in India are carpets, leather works, shawls, metalware, woodwork and paintings. Pashmina shawl is the product which is highly in demand not only in Himachal but all over the country. Colourful Himachali caps are also famous art work of the people. One tribe, *Dom*, is expert in manufacturing bamboo items like boxes, sofas, chairs, baskets and racks. Metalware of the state include utensils, ritualistic vessels, idols, gold and silver jewelleries. Weaving, carving, painting, or chiselling is considered to be the part of the life of *Himachalis*. Himachal is well known for designing shawls, especially in Kullu. The architecture, objects, shops, museums, galleries and craftsmen charm with a variety perfected over time. Women take an active part in pottery and men in carpentry. For ages, wood has been used in Himachal in the construction of temples, homes, idols etc.. ## Weaving The extreme winters of Himachal necessitated wool weaving. Nearly every household in Himachal owns a pit-loom .Wool is considered as pure and is used as a ritual cloth. The well known woven object is the shawl, ranging from fine pashmina to the coarse desar. Kullu is famous for its shawls with striking patterns and vibrant colors. Himachali caps are of typical styles and they differ region to region. In Kinnaur, shawls, saris and trousers are woven in wool. The shawls woven in Rampur, known as Rampur chaddar, are known for their soft texture and durability. In Chamba district, weaving assumes a chequered pattern. Besides shawls, carpets and blankets are also a vital part of the Himachali lifestyle. ## Wood craft {#wood_craft} Himachal is the one of those areas in India where wood has played a significant role as a structural material. Pine, Cedrus deodara, walnut, horse chestnut and wild black mulberry are found in abundance in Himachal Pradesh. Places famous for woodcraft are Chamba, Tisza, Kalpa, Kinnaur district and Kullu. Village homes are constructed with carvings on doors, windows, balcony panels etc. This can be found in remote areas of the state, especially in the districts of Kinnaur and Kullu . ## Metal craft {#metal_craft} Objects crafted with metals fulfil the ritualistic needs of Himachalis. In 600 AD, the courts of the Himachali kings had mastered the craftsmen who were specialised in metalware. Antique metal statuettes are one of the most significant aspects in many temples of Himachal Pradesh. The statues of gods and goddesses also appear as *mohras* or in metal plaques. In fact, metalcraft in the state grew around temples and palaces. Repousse technique was made in use to create the temple doors of *Vajreshwari Devi*, *Jwalamukhi* in Kangra, *Bhimkali* in Sarahan and *Chandika Devi* in Kinnaur district. A canopy made of gold at the Jwalamukhi temple is one of the example of Himachal\'s metalwork which believed to have been gifted by Mughal emperor Akbar the Great. The metalwork of Kinnaur depicts a unique synthesis of Buddhism and Hinduism. Brass is often used for trending household utensils. Some of the towns where good metal work is found are Bilaspur, Chamba, Reckong Peo, Rohru, Sarahan and Jogindernagar

# Horace Dean **Horace Dean** (10 November 1814 -- 8 May 1887) was an American who practised as a doctor in Australia and was a journalist and political candidate at elections in South Australia and New South Wales. Dean was born in Chicago. In 1846, he enlisted in the Mexican--American War as a surgeon and cavalry captain, apparently using forged medical diplomas from Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and the Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Missouri. In 1847, he killed a fellow officer in a duel and fled to England, where he spent some months in a lunatic asylum. He married Jane Ann Mitchell, at Hastings and travelled to Adelaide as surgeon on the *Augusta* in 1849. He practised as a doctor in Angaston in the Barossa Valley and was naturalised and admitted to a roll of medical practitioners in October 1850. He became an honorary special magistrate in 1852. His populist attacks on George Angas, led Angas to investigate Dean\'s qualifications and identity. As a result, Governor MacDonnell wrote in 1855 to Jefferson Davis, American Secretary of War to clarify the matter and Davis rejected Dean\'s claims. He was forced to resign from the magistracy and was struck off the medical rolls in 1857. He attempted to redeem his name by standing for the first election to the House of Assembly for Barossa in March 1857. He won, but he was disqualified by the Court of Disputed Returns. He won the resulting by-election in June but was disqualified again. Dean travelled to Melbourne and Sydney where he wrote for Henry Parkes\' *The Empire* and in 1858 became as a storekeeper at Tinonee, near Taree on the Manning River. He again practised medicine, although unregistered, and started the *Manning River News* in 1865. In December 1869, he was elected for The Hastings but was disqualified because he worked for the Government as a postmaster. In July 1870, he won the resulting by-election but was again disqualified by the Committee of Elections and Qualifications, this time on the ground that he had not, at the time of his election and return, \"resided in the colony five years after naturalization.\" Dean then moved to Uralla and, in 1875, he purchased a store at Grafton. He became Mayor of Grafton, in 1878, but was sacked within six months for \"gross mismanagement\". He announced his intention of writing his autobiography, but a flood washed away his papers and destroyed his store. He died in Grafton, survived by four sons and four daughters

# Beerwah, Jammu and Kashmir **Beerwah** also pronounced as **Beeru** is a subdistrict, tourist destination and one of the oldest towns of Jammu and Kashmir and a municipal committee in Budgam district in the Indian administered union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It is also one of the oldest tehsils of Jammu and Kashmir with one of the largest towns in Budgam district. Beerwah is 27 km away from the summer capital Srinagar via Bemina, 31 km via Magam, 33 km via Soibugh and 35 km via Budgam. Beerwah subdistrict has 4 tehsils namely Beerwah, Magam, Narbal and Khag. Beerwah is located along the banks of River Sukhnaag. The name Beerwah has been derived from a Sanskrit`{{Dubious|date=August 2021}}`{=mediawiki} word \"Behroop\" which means land of springs. This is due to the abundance of natural springs in the area. Beerwah has seven springs in the town area. Beerwah is the major route to the snow resorts of Doodhpathri and Tosamaidan. Doodhpathri lies 19 km away from Beerwah via Arizal and Tosamaidan lies 23 km away from Beerwah via Arizal. Beerwah is known as \"The Gateway of Doodhpathri\" and also \"The Gateway of Tosamaidan\". A decade ago Beerwah was the main route to visit famous tourist spot Gulmarg. ## Geography Beerwah is located at an altitude of 1598 m above sea level, between 75° E longitude and 34° N latitude at the base of the Pir Panjal mountain range. It is surrounded by plains to the north, east, south, and southwest. The town is flanked by a hill called Bairam on its southern side. At the eastern side of this Bairam is located the celebrated cave connected with life of Acharya Abhinavagupta, the greatest Shiva philosopher of Kashmir. The celebrated cave is located at Bairam at the height of nearly 85 meter on the side of the ridge overlooking the crescent shaped narrow valley of evergreen forests with a Sukhnag River flowing through it. The landscape is made up of plateau-like terraces known as *karewas*. The region contains forested areas with several mountain rivers and streams, including the Mala Kol, Lear Kol, Ahij Kol, Laen, Zaen, Mean and Sona Mean. The Ahij Kol, Laen and Sona Maen share a source at Sukhnag. The Mala Kol is locally known as the \"deaf and dumb stream\" due to a legend that when saint Syed Taj-ud-Din arrived in Khag, the stream silently followed him from Sukhnag to Sikandarpora. Local elders continue to tell stories about other local streams. River Sukhnag divides the town of Beerwah into Old town (West bank) and New town (East bank). ### Pastures Tosamaidan is a large pasture with a historical background. Bounded by dense forests of deodars, it is about 10 km from Khag in the Himalayas. It was a frequent route for Mughals travelling from Poonch and Punjab to Kashmir. Until 2017 it was occupied by Indian forces, many people have died due to the abandoned explosive materials in vast tracts of pastures. Today the area is frequently used by local shepherds and the Gujjar community. Many people go there in search of some medicinal plants. Pehjan is an alpine pasture about 25 km from Khag in the lap of the Himalayas. Wular Lake can be seen from this resort. It features local flowers and plant life and scenic views from the Nanga Parbat peak (26,696 ft). The Khag pasture is located in the southwest of Kashmir, 8,000 to 14,000 ft above sea level. It is surrounded by mountains whose average height reaches 17,000 ft. It is frequently scenic in the summer season, when Nomadic Bakarwals bring their cattle to graze. ### Springs The region has a number of springs of local and tourist significance. Sutharan is located near Tosamaidan and the Line of Actual Control. According to local legend, (Vanvas) Lord Ram Chandra stayed here during his 12-year-long exile with Lakshman and Sita. The spring\'s name comes from Sita who is said to have bathed in the spring. Naranag spring, or Narain Nag, is located near the Khag village. According to local legend, an ascetic passing through once dropped a bag full of sheep dung into the lake. When he reached Khag several days later, he saw the dung floating on the surface of the Naranag. He returned to Tosamaidan and sprinkled some turmeric powder into the lake, which appeared in the water in the Naranag. The Sukhnag (Sokhanag), known locally as the \"spring of solace,\" cascades in a 20 ft high waterfall at Kanj Zubji. Pushkar Nag is located to the east of Poshker village between Khag and Ferozpora, and is named for the village of its origin. According to local history, during the month of Sawan, Kashmiri Pandits would offer prayers and take a ritual dip in the spring. Some devotees continue to perform the ritual today. Gandhak Nag is a sulfur spring in the Darang Khaipora village of Khag. The healing properties of the sulfur make the spring locally significant. ### Natural formations {#natural_formations} Nakwaer Pal (the \"nostril rock\") is located near the Pehjan pasture. It is 14,000 ft high and is the highest peak of the range. According to local history, when Kashmir valley was a lake (Sati Sar), boats would be anchored to this rock. Today there is an iron hook within it (Ded Bal), also known as Lal Khanen Gher. Today, shepherds and Gujjars come from adjacent villages with their livestock. ## History Beerwah served as a pargana during the Mughal reign. It consists of areas of the former Srinagar district. In 1766, a fort was built on Bhairam hill by Governor Lal Mohammad Khatak. It was repaired in 1801 by Governor Abdullah Khan but was destroyed in an earthquake in 1884. The region consisting of Budgam, Beerwah and Baramullah achieved tehsil status as Tehsil Ranbir Singh in 1962, under Sir Syed Sani Mawlana Syed Ali Shah Bukhari. The tehsil of Budgam was split off later in 1979. The region was granted subdistrict status in the 1970s with the support of Mawlana Syed Ali Shah Bukhari, but it was not fully implemented until 2013 by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Mirwaiz of Central Kashmir Mawlana Latief Bukhari.

# Mauro Diniz **Mauro Diniz** (born 1952) is a Brazilian professional cavaquinist. He also has a career as a songwriter and singer. ## Biography Born in 1952 in one of the most traditional neighborhoods of carioca samba, Oswaldo Cruz, at the age of 4 he stayed between his father\'s legs, stunning everyone with his ability on the first cavaquinho chords. At the age of 8, besides having written a parody for one of his father\'s sambas, for the samba-enredo of the Bloco da Alegria carnival block, he was presented with a guitar by his mother Thereza, *pastora* of the samba school Portela. Therefore, Mauro Diniz made his first steps towards music guided by the Old Guard of Portela. He had his dreams rocked by antologic sambas from his greatest idol, his father, known by some as the \"Extraordinary Monarco from Portela\". Mauro Diniz was an enviable autodidact, for a long while. At the age of 24 he bought his first cavaquinho, never letting go of the instrument until exchanging it for one which had belonged to \"Master Nelson Cavaquinho\", which accompanies him to this day. In 1982, he started attending Physical Education College, not finishing the course due to the frequent trips he took integrating singer Beth Carvalho\'s band. Mauro Diniz studied music with people such as the late Copinha, maestro Joaquim Nagle and, indicated by producer Rildo Hora, went on to study classical piano, harmony and perception. Some time later he enrolled in CIGAM, one of the best music courses in Rio de Janeiro, where he concluded the course of Harmony, Improvisation and Arrangement. Mauro was also a student of Ian Guest, who he considers one of his greatest masters. ## Achievements Today, Mauro Diniz is among the most praised cavaquinists in Brazil, and is one of the most studious. Mauro developed, as does every cavaquinho player, his own style, which was one of the most influential and which is already part of the history of samba. His strumming patterns are among the most unpredictable and surprising in the samba world, and a lot of the patterns which are part of the standard repertoire of cavaquinho players in the current samba scene were introduced by him. Mauro has recorded with all major samba names; his recordings with Almir Guineto are specially known for cavaquinho rhythm virtuosity; not the least, his recordings with Zeca Pagodinho and Beth Carvalho are registered as the foundation for new generations of *sambistas*. Some others with whom Mauro has recorded (the list would encompass almost every known sambista) include: Moacyr Luz, Monarco, Jorge Aragão, Wilson Moreira, Luiz Carlos da Vila and the Old Guard of Portela

# Pearl-breasted swallow The **pearl-breasted swallow** (***Hirundo dimidiata***) is a small swallow. ## Description The pearl-breasted swallow is 13--14 cm long. It has glossy blue upperparts and grey-white underparts. The upper wings, underwing flight feathers and forked tail are blackish-blue. The underwing coverts are a darker shade of grey-white. The lack of white in the tail is a distinction from similar *Hirundo* species. The outer feathers are slightly longer in the male than the female. Juveniles are duller and browner than the adult, with shorter outer tail feathers. The northern subspecies, *H. d. marwitzi* is darker and smaller than nominate *H. d. dimidiata*, but the differences are small, and the species may be monotypic. ## Distribution and habitat {#distribution_and_habitat} The pearl-breasted swallow breeds in southern Africa from Angola, southern Congo and Tanzania southwards. It is sparsely distributed, but can be locally common. It is partially migratory with many birds from the southwest of South Africa wintering further north. This is a bird of dry scrub, farmland and clearings. It is often found around human habitation. ## Behaviour The pearl-breasted swallow feeds mainly on flying insects, with a fast direct flight. The call is a chittering *chip cheree chip chip*. ### Breeding It builds a bowl-shaped mud nest reinforced with grass or hair and with a soft lining. It sometimes uses old nests of the greater striped swallow, *Cecropis cucullata*. The nest may be reused in later years, and one was utilised for 30 years. The nest is built in natural cavities or man-made structures such as buildings, culverts and shafts, but its preference for isolated and abandoned buildings means that this species has not benefited from artificial sites to the same extent as, for example, the greater or lesser striped swallows. The two or three eggs are pure white, and are incubated by the female alone for 16--17 days to hatching. Both parents then feed the chicks. Fledging takes another 20--23 days, but the young birds will return to the nest to roost for a few days after the first flight. ## Gallery <File:Hirundo> dimidiata 1894.jpg\|Illustration by R. B

# Global sourcing **Global sourcing** is the practice of sourcing from the global market for goods and services across geopolitical boundaries. Global sourcing often aims to exploit global efficiencies in the delivery of a product or service. These efficiencies include low cost skilled labor, low cost raw material, extreme international competition, new technology and other economic factors like tax breaks and low trade tariffs. Common examples of globally sourced products or services include labor-intensive manufactured products produced using low-cost Chinese labor, call centers staffed with low-cost English speaking workers in the Philippines, India and Pakistan, and IT work performed by low-cost programmers in India, Pakistan and Eastern Europe. While these are examples of low-cost country sourcing, global sourcing is not limited to low-cost countries. Global sourcing initiatives and programs form an integral part of the strategic sourcing plans and procurement strategies of many multinational companies. Global sourcing is often associated with a centralized procurement strategy for a multinational, wherein a central buying organization seeks economies of scale through corporate-wide standardization and benchmarking. A definition focused on this aspect of global sourcing is: \"proactively integrating and coordinating common items and materials, processes, designs, technologies, and suppliers across worldwide purchasing, engineering, and operating locations (p. 304)\". The global sourcing of goods and services has advantages and disadvantages that can go beyond low cost. Some advantages of global sourcing beyond low cost include: learning how to do business in a potential market, tapping into skills or resources unavailable domestically, developing alternate supplier/vendor sources to stimulate competition, and increasing total supply capacity. Some key disadvantages of global sourcing can include: hidden costs associated with different cultures and time zones, exposure to financial and political risks in countries with (often) emerging economies, increased risk of the loss of intellectual property, and increased monitoring costs relative to domestic supply. For manufactured goods, some key disadvantages include long lead times, the risk of port shutdowns interrupting supply, and the difficulty of monitoring product quality. (With regard to quality in the food industry, see Roth et al. (2008).). International procurement organizations (or IPOs) may be an element of the global sourcing strategy for a firm. These procurement organizations take primary responsibility for identifying and developing key suppliers across sourcing categories and help satisfy periodic sourcing requirements of the parent organization. Such setups help provide focus in country-based sourcing efforts. Particularly in the case of large and complex countries, such as China, where a range of sub-markets exist and suppliers span the entire value chain of a product/commodity, such IPOs provide essential on-the-ground information. Over time, these IPOs may grow up to be complete procurement organizations in their own right, with fully engaged category experts and quality assurance teams. It is therefore important for firms to clearly define an integration and scale-up plan for the IPO

# The Inevitability of Patriarchy ***The Inevitability of Patriarchy: Why the Biological Difference Between Men and Women Always Produces Male Domination*** is a book by Steven Goldberg published by William Morrow and Company in 1973. The theory proposed by Goldberg is that social institutions that are characterised by male dominance may be explained by biological differences between men and women (sexual dimorphism), suggesting male dominance (patriarchy) could be inevitable. Goldberg later refined articulation of the argument in *Why Men Rule* (1993). The main difference between the books is a shift of emphasis from citing anthropological research across all societies, to citing evidence from the workforce in contemporary western societies. ## Abstract Goldberg reviews literature, gathering evidence from expert witnesses (both primary and secondary sources) to demonstrate that each of three distinct patterns of recognised human social behaviour (institutions) has been observed in every known society. He proposes that these three universal institutions, attested as they are across *independent* cultures, suggest a simple psychophysiological cause, since physiology remains constant, as do the institutions, even across variable cultures---a universal phenomenon suggests a universal explanation. The institutions Goldberg examines and claims to be universal among all known societies are patriarchy (men dominating higher hierarchical positions), male attainment (activities which provide higher status are related to male physiology) and male dominance (cultural expectation of male leadership and control). The hypothetical psychophysiological phenomenon he proposes to explain them, he denotes by the expression *differentiation of dominance tendency*. He explains this refers to dominance behaviour being more easily elicited from men *on average* than from women *on average*. In other words, he theorises a biologically mediated difference in *preferences*. Goldberg next provides expert witnesses from several disciplines regarding correlations between behaviour and the hormone testosterone, which are known to be causative in several cases, including dominance preference. He concludes with the hypothesis that testosterone is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for the development of the institutions he examined. In other words, without testosterone, the institutions would not develop---it must be part (but not all) of an explanation for their universality. Finally, Goldberg proposes that if patriarchy is indeed biologically based, it will prove to be inevitable; unless a society is willing to intervene *biologically* on the male physiology. ## Overview *Inevitability* starts with a quote that summarises the main \"nature over nurture\" point of the book. - *Numquam naturam mos vinceret; est enim ea semper invicta.* : Custom will never conquer nature; for it is always invincible. : --- Marcus Tullius Cicero, *Tusculanae Disputationes*, *c*. 45 BC. The book has ten chapters divided into four parts (I--IV), and an addendum. The five chapters of the first part outline Goldberg\'s theory of patriarchy. The second part contains two chapters of engagement with alternative views. The third part speculates about possible cognitive differences between men and women. Part four consists of a single chapter of general sociological commentary on broader community discussion of the relationships between men and women. The addendum that concludes the book is offered in support of the anthropological consensus described in chapter 2 of part I, but has been considered by some to be the most valuable part of the total work, including Goldberg himself.

# The Inevitability of Patriarchy ## Reception In *Key Issues in Women\'s Work* (2nd ed., 2004), sociologist Catherine Hakim compares four competing theories of male dominance, including Goldberg\'s theory of patriarchy as well as her own preference theory, and notes the strengths and weaknesses of patriarchy theory. For example, women\'s dislike of female bosses is consistent with Goldberg\'s theory. Goldberg\'s \"is the only theory that can explain some of the more inconvenient facts about women as well as men\". \"No other theory has been offered which can explain women\'s rejection of females in authority\". She comments that Goldberg\'s theory \"contrasts interestingly with the mind-games that Western intellectuals like to play\", but concludes that Goldberg\'s thesis has yet to be fully proven. In her book\'s final chapter, after reviewing the empirical evidence, she notes that none of the four competing theories fully explains women\'s subordination, but that preference theory rules out the salience of sex and gender, given the evidence for female heterogeneity. The Marxist anthropologist Eleanor Leacock takes a more political view of Goldberg\'s work. In a response to Goldberg\'s *The Inevitability of Patriarchy*, she characterizes Goldberg\'s theories as simplistic and irresponsible: \"To consign the grim brutalities of abused power we see everywhere about us to what amounts to masculine \'original sin\' not only denies the historical and ethnographic record\... but seriously disarms all of us, as humanity, in the urgency of our need to understand and redirect our social life if we would insure ourselves a future.\" Biological anthropologist Frank B. Livingstone criticizes Goldberg\'s understanding of causation in evolution, characterizing the evolutionary model presented in *The Inevitability of Patriarchy* as \"absolutely backward\". According to Livingstone, social behavior drives evolution rather than the other way around: \"Contrary to Goldberg, I do not believe that a genetic or physiological change will occur first and then cause social or behavioral change. In fact, just the opposite, the behavior or way of life of a population determines the fitness values of the genotypes, and this changes the genetic characteristics of the population.\" ### Selection of Reviews 1973--1993 {#selection_of_reviews_19731993} - Eleanor Maccoby, \"\[<http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1973Sci>\...182..469G Sex in the social order\]\", *Science* **182** (November, 1973): 469ff. \[Review of *The Inevitability of Patriarchy*\] - Eleanor Leacock. \'The Inevitability of Patriarchy\'. *American Anthropologist* new series **76** [(1974): 363-365.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/674209) - Frank B Livingstone. \'The Inevitability of Patriarchy\'. *American Anthropologist* new series **76** [(1974): 365-367.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/674210) - Steven Goldberg. \'Response to Leacock and Livingstone\'. *American Anthropologist* new series **77** [(1975): 69-73.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/674069) - Eleanor Leacock. \'On Goldberg\'s Response\'. *American Anthropologist* new series **77** [(1975): 73-75.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/674070) - Frank B Livingstone. \'Reply to Goldberg\'. *American Anthropologist* new series **77** [(1975): 75-77.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/674071) - Joan Huber. \'The Inevitability of Patriarchy\'. *The American Journal of Sociology* **81** [(1974): 567-568.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2777531) - Steven Goldberg. \'Comment on Huber\'s Review of the Inevitability of Patriarchy\'. *The American Journal of Sociology* **82** [(1976): 687-690.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2777348) - Joan Huber. \'Huber\'s Reply to Goldberg\'. *The American Journal of Sociology* **82** [(1976): 690-691.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2777349) - The September/October issue of *Society* **vol. 23, no. 6** (1986) was devoted to discussion of *The Inevitability of Patriarchy*.

# 2001 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament The **2001 NCAA Division I men\'s ice hockey tournament** involved 12 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men\'s NCAA Division I college ice hockey. The final event was played at Pepsi Arena, Albany, New York. Boston College, coached by Jerry York, won its first national title since 1949 by defeating North Dakota, 3-2, in overtime on April 7 on a goal scored by sophomore forward Krys Kolanos just 4:43 into the extra session. The Eagles had advanced to the title game after a 4-2 victory over Michigan in one semifinal on April 5, while the national runners-up Fighting Sioux, coached by Dean Blais, shut out Michigan State, 2-0, in the other semifinal earlier that day. BC, which finished the season with a record of 33-8-2, earned its first NCAA hockey crown in 52 years by besting the three schools that had eliminated it in the three previous Frozen Fours: Maine (1999); Michigan (1998) and; North Dakota (2000). 2001 was the first year in which the MAAC received an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament, with their representative being the Mercyhurst Lakers.

The final event was played at Providence Civic Center, Providence, Rhode Island. North Dakota, coached by Dean Blais, defeated Boston College, coached by Jerry York, by a 4-2 score on April 8. BC, seeking its first NCAA title since 1949, had a 2-1 lead entering the final period of play, but the Fighting Sioux responded with three goals in the final 20 minutes of play, with two of those goals scored by Lee Goren. Goren tied the game, assisted on Jason Ulmer\'s game-winning goal, and then scored into an empty Eagles net in the last minute of play to ice the victory. It marked North Dakota\'s seventh national title overall and second since 1997, and was also the third time in three years that BC came up short in the Frozen Four.

# Andrey Andreyevich Andreyev **Andrey Andreyevich Andreyev** (*Андре́й Андре́евич Андре́ев*; 30 October 1895 -- 5 December 1971) was a Soviet Communist politician. An Old Bolshevik who rose to power during the rule of Joseph Stalin, joining the Politburo as a candidate member in 1926 and as a full member in 1932, Andreyev also headed the powerful Central Control Commission of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1930 to 1931, and then again from 1939 until 1952. In 1952, Andreyev was removed from the Politburo and placed in a largely ceremonial position as a member of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. ## Biography ### Early years {#early_years} Andrey Andreyevich Andreyev was born in the Sychyovsky Uyezd of the Smolensk Governorate of the Russian Empire to a peasant family. He left the village at the age of 13 to work as a dishwasher in Moscow. He attended workers\' educational courses, and by the time he was 15 had joined a Marxist circle. He joined the Bolsheviks after settling in Petrograd to work in the Putilov arms factory, in 1914. During World War I, he worked as a hospital administrator, while carrying on illegal political work. He was a member of the Petrograd committee of the Bolsheviks in 1915--16, and one of the organisers of the wave of strikes that preceded the fall of the Tsar. After the February revolution, he helped found the Petrograd Metal Workers\' Union. He was in the crowd that welcomed the Bolshevik leader, Vladimir Lenin on his return from exile in April 1917. At the Bolshevik conference that same month, he was one of the younger delegates who backed Lenin\'s call for a second revolution. ### Union leader {#union_leader} Andreyev spent the early part of the Russian civil war as a trade union and Communist Party organiser in the Urals, where he oversaw the nationalisation of the factories, and for ensuring that the new Soviet republic was supplied with metal and food. He was posted in 1919 to Ukraine as the leader of the metal workers\' union, and a member of the All-Russian Central Trade Union Council (TUC). In the latter part of 1919, Lenin came up against heavy opposition from the trade unions, who wanted democratic control of industry, which Lenin believed would undermine efficiency and delay economic recovery. In January 1920, he was outvoted in a meeting of the communist \'fraction\' of the All-Russian TUC. Throughout, Andreyev was one of the minority who supported Lenin\'s line. His reward was to be appointed head of the railway workers\' union, and at the 9th Communist Party Congress in March 1920 he was one of three union leaders, along with Mikhail Tomsky and Janis Rudzutaks, elected to the 19-member Central Committee, which, prior to the creation of the Politburo, was the body that effectively ruled Russia and its former colonies. Aged 24, he was its youngest member. (The second youngest, Nikolai Bukharin, was 31.) During 1920--21, the Central Committee was split 10--9 over the role of the unions. The minority, led by Leon Trotsky, proposed that they be incorporated in the state; the majority, led by Lenin and including Joseph Stalin, argued for their continued existence, under party control. Andreyev was the only leading trade unionist to support the minority line -- surprisingly, in view of his later career. (He was the only former member of that committee apart from Stalin still alive after the Great Purge: all the others who had not died in the meantime were killed.) Andreyev was dropped from the Central Committee in March 1921, but when the TUC had its next congress, in May 1921, he loyally supported the party leadership against a campaign led by the veteran revolutionary David Riazanov, who called for union leaders to be elected rather than appointed by the party. Tomsky and Rudzutaks were sacked, temporarily, for failing to block this proposal, whilst Andreyev was made a secretary of the TUC, and at the 11th party congress in April 1922, he was restored to membership of the party\'s Central Committee. He retained his membership for the next 40 years. He was also co-opted onto the Orgburo, which was dominated by Stalin, the newly appointed General Secretary. In May 1923, Andreyev was a member of the small Communist delegation at the Congress of the Second International. A fellow delegate, the French communist Alfred Rosmer, remembered him as \"a friendly and modest companion, who didn\'t mind us joking about his name\".

# Andrey Andreyevich Andreyev ## Biography ### Party official {#party_official} Shortly after Lenin\'s death, in June 1924, Andreyev was appointed a Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. From that date Andreyev was a loyal supporter of Stalin and part of the inner core of the Stalinist faction. He was one of five hard line Stalinists who were raised to candidate membership of the Politburo in July 1926, a few months before Trotsky was expelled from the same body. In 1925, when the People\'s Commissar for Finance, Grigori Sokolnikov, pointed out that workers\' wages were still below their pre-war (1913) level and suggested raising them, Andreyev denounced him for attacking the trade unions and for his \'irresponsible attitude to the workers\'. From January 1928 to December 1930, Andreyev was based in Rostov in south Russia, as First Secretary of the North Caucasus territory party committee. In this capacity, he was responsible for the seeing through the forcible collectivisation of agriculture in one of Russia\'s main grain-producing regions. At the outset, he seemed hesitant about forcing the pace: as late as October 1929, he forecast that it would be impossible to complete the changeover to collective agriculture before the end of the First five-year plan in 1933. His complaints about the difficulty of achieving the grain deliveries Stalin demanded almost caused a rift, when Stalin lost his temper with Andreyev -- but then, unusually, apologised. By December, Andreyev had committed the regional party to a target of complete collectivisation by the spring 1931. In January 1930, he announced that they had been too modest, and would complete the process during that year. As part of the process, the North Caucasus OGPU was set a quota of 6,000--8,000 \'kulaks\' to be arrested and executed, and 20,000 to be deported to remote parts of the USSR. By February, 80 per cent of the rural population of the North Caucasus had been herded onto collective farms, but the result was armed rebellion by thousands of peasants, which was put down by the Red Army, and which forced a partial retreat by the authorities. Within two months, the proportion of peasants on collective farms had fallen to 67 per cent. In December 1930, Andreyev was recalled to Moscow and appointed Chairman of the Central Control Commission, which was responsible for party discipline, and chairman of Rabkrin. In September 1931, he volunteered to take the additional post of People\'s Commissar for Transport, after the Politburo had heard a report on the serious state of the railways. He relinquished the chairmanship of the Control Commission on 4 February 1932, when he became a full member of the Politburo. In March 1935, Andreyev was reappointed a secretary of the Central Committee, in the wake of the assassination of Sergey Kirov. On 3 April 1935, he was co-opted onto the Orgburo, to chair its meetings, and was put in charge of the Industrial department of the Communist Party.

# Andrey Andreyevich Andreyev ## Biography ### Role in the 1930s purges {#role_in_the_1930s_purges} During the Great Purge, when it was common to send high-ranking party officials from Moscow to the provinces to oversee mass expulsions and arrests of provincial communist party members, Andreyev \"became the unchallengeable master of these murderous sideshows\". Between June and September 1937, he travelled to Voronezh, Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk, Kursk, Saratov, Kuybyshev, Tashkent, Stalinabad, Rostov and Krasnodar. Sometimes, he accused local party leaders of arresting the wrong people, who were released. More often, his arrival meant arrests and executions. He always stayed in telegram communication with Stalin, who always approved all his recommended lists of party members to be expelled and/or arrested. Early in January 1937, he arrived in Rostov to organise the removal of Boris Sheboldayev, his successor as regional party in the renamed Azov-Black Sea territory, who was accused of excessive leniency because he had allowed former oppositionists such as Alexander Beloborodov and Nikolai Glebov-Avilov to hold responsible jobs in the region. Sheldboldayev temporarily saved himself by apologising, and was transferred to another post, only to be arrested later and shot. In Saratov, where he arrived on 20 July, his main target was the local head of the NKVD Yakov Agranov, who was arrested and shot, along with the second secretary of the regional communist party and others. Some people whom Agranov had had arrested were released. At the same time, Andreyev and identified 20 employees of the Machine Tractor Stations who were \"working very obstructively\". Stalin replied with a telegram the same day, saying they should all be shot. In total, in the wake of his visit, 430 people were shot. In Kuybyshev, he ordered the local party boss, Pavel Postyshev, to step up the hunt for hidden enemies, after which Postyshev disbanded most of the local party branches and had 3,300 party members arrested. By the end of 1937, it was decided that Postyshev had gone too far, and Andreyev was assigned the job of collecting names of people wrongfully expelled from the Kuibyshev party, after which Postyshev was arrested and shot. When Andreyev arrived in Tashkent, in September 1937, the founder of the Uzbek communist party, Faizullah Khojaev, and seven others were denounced as enemies of the people. Four days later, on 12 September, the First Secretary of the Uzbek communist party Akmal Ikramov was expelled from the party. He was arrested two weeks later. In the ensuing purge, 430 people were executed. Andreyev then moved on to Stalinabad, in Tajikistan, where he had 344 shot. In March 1938, an official of the USSR Writers\' Union approached Andreyev about finding work for the poet Osip Mandelstam, who was in Moscow, but unemployed. Andreyev refused. Mandelstam was arrested and died in the gulag. In October 1940, he issued an order that a recently published book of poems by Anna Akhmatova was banned and all copies were to be seized. In 1940, Akhmatova was suddenly granted official recognition, having been prevented from publishing any of her work for 15 years. Andreyev\'s order meant that \"Akhmatova\'s nine months a published poet again had come to an end\". In November 1938, Andreyev supervised the changes at the headquarters of the NKVD, in which Lavrentiy Beria was confirmed as its new head in place of Nikolai Yezhov, who was arrested and shot. Also in November, he chaired a session of the Central Committee of Komsomol, the communist youth league, at which most of its leaders were sacked, and later arrested and shot.

# Andrey Andreyevich Andreyev ## Biography ### Later career {#later_career} In 1939, Andreyev resumed his former position as Chairman of the Central Commission, combining that with his continued role as party secretary and Politburo member. He was also Chairman of the Soviet of the Union from 1938 until 1946. Despite this array of titles, there were signs that he was being supplanted within Stalin\'s inner circle by Georgi Malenkov, Nikita Khrushchev, Nikolai Voznesensky and other rising stars. During the war, he was not included in the emergency State Defense Committee (GOKO), or involved front line duties, but was given responsibility for transport and food supplies, as deputy chairman of the transport sub-committee of GOKO, as USSR People\'s Commissar for Agriculture, 1943--46, and as chairman of the Kolkhoz (collective farms) Central Council from December 1943 to February 1950. After the war, Andreyev appeared to recover his position. In March 1946, he was appointed a Deputy Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers, responsible for agriculture, while Malenkov was temporarily removed from his role as party secretary, and a protégé of Andreyev, Nikolai Patolichev was appointed head of the party organisation department. In March 1947, Khrushchev was temporarily ousted from control of the Ukrainian communist party, and Patolichev was sent to Kiev apparently as the party secretary in charge of agriculture. During 1948, Andreyev ran the investigation which brought down Voznesensky, whom he accused of losing 526 documents from Gosplan. \"This invented case was one of Andreyev\'s last achievements\". It marked the start of the Leningrad case. However, by the summer of 1947, both Malenkov and Khrushchev had recovered their positions, while Andreyev was ill. His doctors proscribed cocaine, to which he became addicted. In December 1949, he was replaced by Khrushchev as the party secretary in charge of agriculture. Although still nominally a member of the Politburo, he was in reality excluded from the party leadership in what Khrushchev later described, somewhat hypocritically, as one of Stalin\'s \"most unbridled acts of willfulness\". According to Sergo Mikoyan, son of Andreyev\'s contemporary and colleague, Anastas Mikoyan, around 1950 Andreyev asked Stalin for permission to retire from office, because he had become nearly totally deaf, as even hearing aids hardly helped him - making him one of the few high-ranking communists in Stalin\'s time to leave office alive, without being arrested. ### Family Andreyev was married to Dora Khazan (1894--1961), who was a student along with Stalin\'s second wife, Nadezhda Alliluyeva, at an industrial academy. Together the couple had two children, a son named Vladimir (born 1919) and a daughter Natalya (born 1922--2015). Dora Khazan worked in Stalin\'s secretariat for a time. She was arrested in 1948. It was not unknown for Politburo members to continue in high offices while their wives were in the gulag: the same happened to Vyacheslav Molotov, Mikhail Kalinin and Otto Kuusinen, among others. He later married Zinaida Ivanovna Desyatova. They had two daughters, Tatyana and Valentina. He has three grandchildren -- Kochergin Ilya N., Kharlamov and Ivan V. Kharlamov Xenia Vyacheslavovna. ### Death and legacy {#death_and_legacy} Andreyev was formally removed from the Politburo, after 20 years, at the 19th party congress in October 1952. After Stalin\'s death, he was briefly brought back as Chairman of the Central Commission, in 1954--56, and was made a member of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, a largely ceremonial position. Because he was no threat to Khrushchev or his successors, his role in the great purges was generally kept quiet. However, after he died, on 5 December 1971, despite his historical importance and decades of tenure in the top ranks of Soviet government officials, Andreyev\'s funeral was not attended by either Leonid Brezhnev, the General Secretary of the CPSU, or Alexei Kosygin, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers. Andreyev is remembered for having loved the music of Tchaikovsky, mountaineering, and nature photography. During his life Andreyev was four times awarded the Order of Lenin, the Order of the October Revolution, and other awards. He is the namesake of the AA-20 locomotive, which he is credited for sponsoring as the head of the Soviet railway system from 1931 to 1935

# Current Archaeology ***Current Archaeology*** is a British monthly archaeology magazine. ## Summary *Current Archaeology* describes itself as the \"United Kingdom\'s best selling archaeology magazine\", a claim substantiated by British Archaeological Jobs and Resources online, which labels the title \"Britain\'s favourite archaeology magazine\". It was founded in 1967 by Andrew Selkirk, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and the present editor-in-chief. Issue 1 was mailed free of charge to university academics and archaeologists, with invitations to become subscribers from Issue 2. The magazine now has more than 14,000 subscribers worldwide. From 1967 to 2007 the magazine was bi-monthly, becoming monthly in November 2007. Rob Selkirk is publisher of the magazine, through Current Publishing. The magazine covers all periods of British archaeology, from prehistory to the present day. It also publishes an annual *Archaeology Handbook*, which aims to be the quickest way to find out about archaeology in Britain, covering digs, societies, professional organisations, education, and more. The magazine is designed to cater for a wide spectrum of enthusiasts from amateur archaeologists to academics and practising professionals. The magazine is particularly popular amongst students and scholars. In December 2010, *The Heritage Journal* noted that \"All-in-all Current Archaeology is eminently readable\". ## Regular features and contents {#regular_features_and_contents} According to *The Heritage Journal*, \"Each issue usually focusses on just 3 or 4 main articles as well as the usual editorial and news/reviews sections that you'd expect. The main articles usually provide in depth information about a recent dig or geographic theme -- recent editions have included articles on 'UnRoman Britain' and 'British Hoards'\... Each issue also has a one-page article titled 'Odd Socs', each issue covering one of the more 'minority interest' organisations. The back cover usually contains a GB map with pins to denote the geographical areas covered within the issue.\" A sister magazine, *Current World Archaeology*, launched in September 2003, deals with archaeology outside Britain. ## Current Archaeology Live {#current_archaeology_live} \"Current Archaeology Live\" is an annual conference, summarising the year\'s significant events, finds and developments in the world of archaeology.

# Academia de Musica de S. Pio X **Academia de Música S. Pio X** is a multi-lingual music school founded by the priest Áureo Castro in 1962, under the suggestion of the director of the Lisbon National Conservatory. Its original name was \"Escola das Missões Católicas\" (lit. \"School of the Catholic Missions\"), and the school opened its doors on 2 October with 48 enrolled students. Its initial staff was composed by Cesare Brianza (piano), Maria de Lurdes Ruas Freire Garcia (piano), António Freire Garcia (violin), Marcos Lau and two other unidentified teachers, known as Liang e Chao. In 1975, bishop Macau, D. Arquimínio da Costa authorized an expansion of the school using funds from the government. Governor António Lopes dos Santos also started conceding a mensal allowance for it, alleging it was \"a private institution of cultural value, considered to be of utility to the province\" (in Portuguese: \"Uma instituição particular de carácter cultural, considerada de utilidade para a Província\"). According to the words of Áureo Castro, \"the academy was founded with the purpose of giving young men from Macau, Portuguese and Chinese, a gradually progressive musical institution. So there was the need of using a bilingual educational system, using Portuguese and Chinese; and later also English. Of the many students that were taught by the academy, at least three dozen proceeded with their musical studies, graduating in diverse music colleges. Several also now live in Canada, United States, Hong Kong and Australia.\" (adapted, see footnotes for lit.)

# In God's Hands (song) \"**In God\'s Hands**\" is a song by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado from her third studio album, *Loose* (2006). It was written and produced by Furtado and Rick Nowels. The song was first released on 30 July 2007 as the album\'s fifth and final single in the United Kingdom and was later released in various formats across Europe in the fall of 2007. Furtado recorded a new version of the song as a duet with Australian-American country singer Keith Urban the following year, which was released in North America in April 2008. \"In God\'s Hands\" achieved only moderate success, becoming her lowest-charting single from *Loose* in every European country in which it was promoted. Following the song\'s North American re-release in 2008, however, \"In God\'s Hands\" reached its peak at number 11 on the Canadian Hot 100, earning Furtado her second highest-charting single to date since the chart\'s inception in 2007, and also peaked at a career-high position of 15 on the *Billboard* Adult Contemporary chart. ## Content \"In God\'s Hands\" is inspired by Furtado\'s 2005 breakup with DJ Jasper Gahunia, the father of her daughter. According to Furtado, the song was, at the time of its recording, \"as far as \[she\] was willing to go in terms of pop right now\". Lyrically, the song is about moving on and starting anew, with Furtado declaring in the chorus, \"Our love\'s floating up in the sky in heaven/ Where it began, back in God\'s hands.\" Her vocal style on the song has been described as \"pretty.\" Furtado also recorded a Spanish version, titled \"En las manos de Dios\", which appears in a Spanish limited edition of *Loose*. ## Re-recording {#re_recording} In early 2008, Furtado re-recorded \"In God\'s Hands\" as a duet featuring Australian-American country music singer Keith Urban, who was reportedly Furtado\'s \"first choice.\" On her rationale behind the selection, Furtado said, \"I love country music. Keith Urban\'s voice is plaintive and sweet; he\'s a pure songsmith, with an extremely humble tone to his voice\... He\'s right on the border of country, roots and pop. He really defies description, and those are my favorite kinds of artists.\" ## Critical reception {#critical_reception} Sean Fennessey of *Pitchfork* criticized the songwriting on the chorus and wrote that, \"If \"Promiscuous\" is one of the fiercest songs of lust in recent memory, \"In God\'s Hands\" is one of the limpest.\" Jonathan Keefe of *Slant* was more ambivalent, praising Furtado\'s vocals but maligning the song\'s inclusion on *Loose*. \"While \"In God\'s Hands\" is one of the first times in her career that Furtado\'s voice could\... be described as pretty,\" writes Keefe, \"the song itself\... simply doesn\'t fit with the first two-thirds of the album.\" ## Commercial performance {#commercial_performance} \"In God\'s Hands\" debuted and peaked at number 116 on the UK Singles Chart dated 11 August 2007. It was the first single of Furtado\'s career (that was promoted to the United Kingdom) to miss the top 100. Elsewhere in Europe, the song performed moderately well. It reached a peak position at number 53 in Austria, number 33 in Germany, number 20 in Italy, number 33 in the Netherlands, and number 58 in Sweden. \"In God\'s Hands\" also reached number 9 and number 22, respectively, on the Flanders and Wallonian Ultratip Bubbling Under charts. The 2008 duet version of the song debuted at number 11 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart dated 3 May 2008 and was the week\'s highest debut. This tied it with \"Say It Right\" as Furtado\'s second highest-charting single to date in her native country since the creation of the Canadian Hot 100 chart in 2007. \"In God\'s Hands\" also reached number seven on the Digital Songs component chart dated 3 May 2008. The song spent a total of 16 weeks on the Canadian Hot 100. In the United States, \"In God\'s Hands\" entered the *Billboard* Adult Contemporary chart dated 26 April 2008 at number 25 and was the week\'s highest debut. On the chart dated 21 June 2008, the song rose to number 18, breaking out of a tie with \"Say It Right\" for Furtado\'s highest-charting adult contemporary single to date. It reached its peak at number 15 on the chart dated 26 July 2008. ## Music video {#music_video} A music video for the song was shot on 9 May 2007 between 5 and 7 a.m. in Los Angeles, California and directed by Jesse Dylan. It features Furtado on a beach during both daytime and nighttime, singing the song while sitting on a tree stump, lying on the sand and holding a white sheet, which she lies under. Furtado is also shown walking on the shore, weeping and looking onto the ocean. The video is shot entirely in black and white. It was made available on Furtado\'s Vevo channel 12 February 2008.

# Pinguicula gigantea ***Pinguicula gigantea*** is a tropical species of carnivorous plant in the family Lentibulariaceae. Its native range is within Mexico. *P. gigantea*\'s flower is usually a purple colour with the occasional light blue also seen. *P. gigantea* was once classified as *Pinguicula ayautla*. This *Pinguicula* was discovered by Alfred Lau and described by the botanist Hans Luhrs. *Pinguicula gigantea* has a few different forms, such as the \'white flower\' form or the \'blue flower\'. ## Plant characteristics {#plant_characteristics} ### Habitat *Pinguicula gigantea* grows in the Mexican state of Oaxaca at an altitude of 688 meters or 2260 feet. ### Leaves and carnivory {#leaves_and_carnivory} *Pinguicula gigantea*, unlike most *Pinguicula* species, has sticky upper and undersides of its large, flat leaves. The leaves have trichomes on them, which secrete a mucilage that traps prey. *P. gigantea*\'s leaves are among the largest in its genus. The species epithet, *gigantea*, describes this characteristic. ### Flowers The flowers of *P. gigantea* are usually zygomorphic. The varieties of *P. gigantea* differ solely on their flowers, such as the \'blue flower\' *P. gigantea* or the \'white flower\' forms. Other forms have also been described. A dark purple flower exists in cultivation as well. ### Dormancy and winter {#dormancy_and_winter} *Pinguicula gigantea* is a tropical Mexican species of *Pinguicula*. Its dormancy is not regulated by temperature or light. Like most tropical species, its dormancy is triggered by lack of moisture. Very little precipitation falls during the winter in Mexico where this *Pinguicula* species lives. In order to survive in these conditions it forms non-carnivorous leaves and can handle dry conditions. When the plant emerges from its dormant period in the spring, it produces new carnivorous leaves and eventually flowers. ## Cultivation Cultivation of *P. gigantea* requires little effort. *P. gigantea* thrives in soil medium that is more well-drained than most carnivorous plant media. ### Propagating *Pinguicula gigantea* can be propagated by seed or by leaf cutting. The disadvantages to propagation by seed include slow growth and the use of a second flowering *P. gigantea* plant to obtain better seed set results. Propagating by leaf cuttings has the advantage of a shorter time to the adult plant. ### Availability *Pinguicula gigantea* is available in cultivation

# The Chevelles **The Chevelles** are a power pop band from Perth, Western Australia. They formed in 1989 and have toured Australia, Europe, the United States and South America. ## Biography ### Pre-Chevelles {#pre_chevelles} The Chevelles\' founding members are Guy Douglas on drums, Jeff Halley on bass guitar, Richard Lane on guitar, keyboards and vocals and Duane Smith on guitar. Smith\'s first band was the Freuds, which he formed with school friend Bruce Abbot and Halley (of the Kryptonics) in Perth in 1987. Ian Tubbs, their later drummer and formerly of the Lincolns, had also played in the Freuds. That band was short-lived, breaking up in 1989, despite having a recording contract with Revolution Records. At that time Lane was looking for a new project following the break-up of the Stems in 1987. For a period Lane had moved to Sydney and tried to put together another Stems-style band, without success. Halley and Smith had befriended Lane during the Freuds\' and the Stems\' concurrent careers. When Lane returned to Perth in 1989 they approached him with the idea of forming a new band. The Stems\' drummer Gary Chambers was included in rehearsal sessions and jamming began late in 1989. However, Chambers lived too far away from Perth and could not sustain his involvement in a new band. His replacement was former Freuds and Rackett drummer, Douglas. ### 1989--93: Early days {#early_days} The band took their name from the United States mid-sized car, Chevrolet Chevelle. They played their first headline show at the Coronado Hotel on 15 December 1989. The Chevelles signed with Sydney-based independent label, Zero Hour Records, (named after the Plimsouls\' tune), operated by former the Stems roadie, George Matzkov. In April 1990 they recorded six tracks at Poons Head Studios in Perth. Matzkow chose Lane\'s power pop rocker \"Be My Friend\" and Smith\'s \"She Don\'t Come Around\" for the band\'s first single. Although he thought there were better songs he felt those two captured the energy he was looking for from the band. The single, \"Be My Friend\", was released in August 1990. It was praised in pop zines such as *Bucketfull of Brains*, whose writer felt, \"\'Be My Friend\' is a non-stop rocker in prime Hoodoo Gurus/Screaming Tribesman heyday fashion with hooks a plenty and loads of blazing guitars.\" Steve Gardener of *Noise for Heroes* opined, \"\[it\] is harder and nastier than any Stems song.\" Outside Australia it was promoted in Spain, Germany and France. The band\'s connection to the Stems was an attention-getter. Requests for tribute compilations followed and they recorded \"Zero Hour\" for a Plimsouls tribute album and \"Back of My Car\" for an Alex Chilton tribute on Spanish label Munster Records. In late 1990 they recorded five tracks for an extended play at Planet Studios: *The Kids Ain\'t Hip*, it was released in November. A trip to the east coast and high radio rotation for the track, \"Show Me Your Love\", confirmed the band\'s prospects. Upon return to Perth they embarked on an intensive gigging schedule. They supported local gigs by eastern states bands, Ratcat, Falling Joys and the Plunderers. In the later half of 1991, friction in the band mounted and delays in recording the band\'s first album followed. In September 1991 during rehearsal Smith presented a track, \"Valentine\", to the other band members. Lane said that the Chevelles were strictly a vehicle for his music. Halley and Smith then dismissed Lane from the band. The Chevelles performed a final show with Lane on Christmas Eve 1991. He was replaced on guitar by Adrian Allen (ex-the Diehards). The Diehards had supported the Chevelles, and Allen had previously filled in at gigs for Smith or Lane on occasion. A New Year\'s Eve concert at Wildwood Winery, alongside Boom Crash Opera, the Neptunes , the Kryptonics and the Dweebs, was the new line-up\'s first show. The band had found new focus at a live level but their recording plans were in a mess. Almost a full album\'s worth of material had been recorded with Lane. They salvaged some of Smith\'s tracks from those sessions, including the next single, \"Girl for Me\". Lane released his tracks under the name of his new band, the Rosebuds , without crediting the Chevelles\' members for their performances. Meanwhile, the relationship between the Chevelles and Zero Hour had become strained and Matzkov decided to dump the band due to the band dumping Lane. Although they owed Zero Hour five tracks, Matzkov tore up the contract and walked away. They then signed with Survival Records, whose acts included the Hitmen and the Screaming Tribesmen. Survival had connections in Europe, with an office in Brussels and distribution through Play It Again Sam. The label compiled a ten-song retrospective CD of the band\'s Zero Hour material, *The Kids Ain\'t Hip* (1992) for release in Europe. At the same time Zero Hour negotiated a similar release, *In the Zero Hour* (1993), through Spanish label Munster Records. In mid-1992 the Chevelles recorded and then released a new single, \"Girl for Me\", with two B-sides: \"Valentine\" and Allen\'s first contribution, \"On My Mind\". \"Girl for Me\" peaked at number 144 on the ARIA Charts. For the remainder of that year they performed regular gigs in Perth, supporting Falling Joys, the Clouds and overseas acts the Smithereens. They issued another single, \"Murder on Her mind\" (January 1993).

# The Chevelles ## Biography ### 1993--94: *Gigantic* *Gigantic*, their debut album, had been planned for the end of 1991, but was delayed until June 1993. It received positive reviews in Australian *Rolling Stone* and in street press. Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, observed, \"Rather than concentrating on traditional 1960s jangly guitar pop, \[it\] showcased the band\'s heavier and more textured, but still tuneful, approach.\" Radio picked up tracks, \"Murder on her Mind\" and \"Memories\", the latter was the third single from the album, delivered late in 1993 with three bonus tracks, including a tougher version of \"Show Me Your Love\" and a cover version of the Backdoor Men\'s \"Out of My Mind\". The band followed with three tours of the eastern states. The first was supporting Matthew Sweet on his Altered Beast tour. Then they supported United Kingdom visitors, the Sweet, on a national tour. Subsequently, Guy Douglas left due to musical and personal differences. A Bunbury-based band, the Calhoons, had been supporting the Chevelles. They enlisted the support group\'s drummer, Mario Frisino, to fill-in. The band played gigs in Perth and Bunbury with Frisino and then made another trip to the eastern states in mid-1993. Back in Perth they recruited Martin Moon on drums as a permanent replacement. He had played with Perth bands the Marigolds, the Neptunes and Dom Mariani\'s Orange. The new line-up made another rip to the eastern states in late 1993 and then travelled to Europe. Survival Records booked the Chevelles to play around 40 shows over six weeks across December 1993 and January 1994. The tour covered Spain, France, Germany, and Switzerland. They played alongside label mates, the Screaming Tribesmen and Screamfeeder. In Spain the band met promoters and labels eager to release their records and organise more tours. Running Circle Records, whose manager, Michael Statesmann, had connections in Australia, organised six extra Spanish shows before the band headed home in January, and placed the Chevelles on a large support bill for a Summer Festival in the island of Majorca in July 1994. Between the European and the Mallorca Festival Martin Moon left for personal reasons and was replaced by Julian Buckland on drums.

# The Chevelles ## Biography ### 1994--96: *Rollerball Candy* {#rollerball_candy} After their Majorca festival appearance in mid-1994 Buckland and Smith stayed in Spain to play four promotional shows. When they arrived back in Australia the Chevelles began work on their next album, *Rollerball Candy*. Friction was developed between them and Survival. Recording sessions were under way but the label could not confirm a release date or promotion plans. It was withholding the band\'s royalties for *Gigantic*, and had fragmented the band\'s interests by sub-licensing that album to a number of different labels and distributors, including Shock Records in Australia and Play It Again Sam in Europe. The band confronted Survival on these issues and a decision was made to dissolve their contract. The band signed with Running Circle for a distribution deal for the second studio album, in Spain and the rest of Europe. Plans for worldwide distribution were delayed while trying to signed with Australian and other labels. *Rollerball Candy* was released by Running Circle in early 1995. It was more varied than *Gigantic*, displaying a punk sound in \"Delirium\" and including a melodic ballad called \"Fall\". Its 15 tracks made it a long album for a pop group but in essence it was tailor-made for Spanish rock and roll fans. Initial sales of the record in Spain and Portugal were encouraging. Response from Spanish press and radio was excellent. The record received strong reviews in established Spanish rock zines like *Ruta 66*, *Beaten Generation* and *La Musica*, in which the band were compared to Mariani\'s DM3 and to the Dubrovniks. Sales and promotion of *Rollerball Candy* were lower in Australia. With no distribution deal they relied on sales at shows and through a small number of Perth and eastern states record stores. Fans in Sydney and Melbourne were unaware of the new album. At that time Running Circle\'s European distribution campaign was floundering. There was no evidence that the disc had was being distributed or promoted outside Spain. Smith put together another band, Rollercoaster, to play songs which were unsuitable for the Chevelles. Teaming with Grant Ferstat (ex-Month of Sundays), Dave Shaw of the Stems and Boom Babies) and Craig Maclean, he recorded an 11-track rock album. Smith believed it would be well received in the Spanish rock scene, it was released in mid-1999 on Spanish power pop label, Snap Records. In mid-1996 Running Circle were bankrupt, this annulled the Chevelles\' contract. *Rollerball Candy* had been released almost 18 months earlier and had not succeeded, through poor distribution and promotion. The band resolved to take the record back to the market. Smith contacted Paradoxx Music, a Brazilian dance music label, and negotiated for its release. An agreement was formed but the deal fell apart when Paradoxx restructured and restaffed. The band continued to have a following in Spain. Allen and Smith played three acoustic shows in Madrid in January 1997. Later that year, after six months of sporadic playing in Perth, the band sought a new deal in Australia. David Hughes-Owen, the manager of Perth power pop label, Spinning Top, had known the band for years. Smith had offered *Rollerball Candy* to Hughes-Owen for Australian release back in January 1995, but at the time the label felt it did not have the money or network to support it. Spinning Top put together an Australian power pop compilation, *Pop on Top*, for US label Bomp! Records, using the Chevelles\' \"She\'s Not Around\" as its lead track. The compilation was released in 1996 and was well received in the US, where Spinning Top discovered the Chevelles had a fan base. ### 1997--99: *At Second Glance* {#at_second_glance} In 1997 the Chevelles and Spinning Top formed an agreement to see if the label could market *Rollerball Candy*. Spinning Top had an association with US label Not Lame, whose manager Bruce Brodeen was a fan of the group and accepted an offer to release some of their material. They had obtained the rights to its back catalogue so Not Lame had the choice of all tracks back to 1992. Brodeen put together a compilation, *At Second Glance*, concentrating on the band\'s melodic pop sound rather than its rock aspect. *At Second Glance* was released in March 1998. The thirteen-track CD was released by Not Lame in the US and Spinning Top Records in Australia. It was the band\'s first release in Australia since *Gigantic* in 1993. Drummer Julian Buckland resigned, Dave Shaw joined the group, and the album was launched in July 1998. It received supportive reviews in the US: Pop freelance writer Claudio Sossi wrote \"The Chevelles excel at making incredibly catchy guitar-based pure pop songs without compromise.\" National distribution plus strong hometown reviews in Perth and radio airplay on Triple J, Triple R and community stations ensured they regained a profile in Australia. Not Lame was pleased with US sales, with the limited pressing of *At Second Glance* selling well in two months. It was given some airplay on college radio. Spinning Top\'s European connections ensured the album reached its markets. French label Hellfire Club Records released a four-track vinyl EP, *Mezmerised*, which used the tougher-edged tracks from *Rollerball Candy*. The band was included on two compilations: *Beat Party CD* on Japan\'s One and Two Records and *Pop Under the Surface* on Swedish label Yesterday Girl Records. The band organised a tour of Spain in January 1999, adding a French leg to support, *Mezmerized*. Most of the ten Spanish shows were sold out before the band arrived. The seven dates in France were also successful. The tour proved to the band that they were still had many fans in Europe, even though it was their first full-band tour since 1994. ### 2000--01: *Sun Bleached* to *Delirium* {#sun_bleached_to_delirium} The Chevelles recorded seven new tracks in May 1999 -- their first full studio session since *Rollerball Candy* some four years earlier. Three of the seven songs (including a version of Air Supply\'s \"Lost in Love\") were completed to demo level and then shopped by Spinning Top to various labels throughout Australia, Europe and the US. San Francisco label Zip Records started negotiations for a US EP and album release and advanced funds for more recordings. *Sun Bleached*, a five-track EP, was released on Zip in October 2000. Zip Records\' strong promotional network pushed the EP to over 300 college radio stations. Spinning Top also negotiated a deal with Zip which saw the Chevelles and other Spinning Top bands be released under the Zip Records banner in Australia through MGM Distribution. Offers for the band to tour continued to come in and in early 2001 the band embarked on a 12-date tour of Brazil with GANGgajang and Yothu Yindi. A 20-track best-of CD titled *Delirium* was released in Brazil to coincide with the tour. The highlight of the successful tour was playing to a crowd of over 20,000 on the beach in Rio de Janeiro. In mid-2001 the Chevelles were recording another new album. A deal was set up with Spanish label Bittersweet for the release of *Sunseekers* (a compilation of the *Sunbleached* EP and six new tracks, which re-appear on *Girl God*). Its release in late 2001 was followed by another tour of Spain in March 2002. The tour coincided with the UK release of the all-new album *Girl God*. Three UK dates were added to the Spanish tour and, at the request of a Brazilian radio station, two shows were booked in Brazil.

# Multiball system The **multiball system** in football permits a match immediately to resume with another ball when the original match ball goes out of play. The International Football Association Board laws of the game were changed for the 2006/2007 edition to make it legal to use more than a single ball per game. Traditionally, professional football matches employ the use of a single ball, and when the ball leaves the field of play, the game pauses until the ball is returned. According to the Laws of the Game, the ball may be changed on the \"authority of the referee\" if it \"bursts or becomes defective\", though typically it will also be replaced if kicked out of the stadium. However, a new system was introduced by some football leagues and associations to increase the number of match balls used per game. In the multiball system, a number of match balls, often seven, are held by ball boys around the edge of the pitch. When one ball leaves the field of play, the nearest ball boy will release another ball to a player, allowing the game to resume immediately. The system is currently used for UEFA European club tournaments, international competitions and the FIFA World Cup. Home teams are free to choose whether to use the system in the English Football League, though the referee may discontinue the system during a match. The use of multiple balls and ball-boys has become common within organised football, with the ball-boys often drawn from the junior sides of the home side. ## Multiball system use {#multiball_system_use} Nation Competition Multiball system Single match ball Optional --------- ---------------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ---------- England Premier League England Football League England FA Cup England EFL Cup UEFA UEFA European Championship UEFA UEFA Champions League UEFA UEFA Europa League ## Criticism While some commentators and managers support the system for maintaining the speed and flow of the game, others suggest that the way the system is implemented favours the home team. In 2005 Gary Megson, then manager of Nottingham Forest F.C., was cited in a referee\'s match report after his team scored, prompting \"the supply of balls around the pitch to dry up\". Ian Holloway claims that, when playing at other stadia, ball boys often delay providing balls to his players, but that \"when it is the other way around the ball boys cannot get the ball to their own players fast enough\".

# Multiball system ## Ballboys influencing matches {#ballboys_influencing_matches} Due to the fast paced nature of modern football, when a multiball system is in place it can be frustrating for players when the ballboys do not quickly respond as required to the need for a ball, which can occur with the ballboy is affiliated with home side while the result is going their way. In 2013 Eden Hazard was sent off against Swansea after an altercation with 17 year old ball boy Charlie Morgan, who was the son of one of the Directors of Swansea. After the ball rolled away for a goal kick, Morgan grabbed the ball away from Hazard who wished to return it to the Swansea goalkeeper, then fell on it, trapping it underneath him and delaying the restart. In frustration Hazard kicked the ball out from under Morgan and received a red card shortly after while Morgan walked off holding his midriff in apparent injury. Hazard received a 3 game ban, Swansea held on to their result to qualify for the final and win it 5-0 against Bradford City, their first and only major trophy within the English football system. The Australian 2017 FFA Cup final was held at the home ground of Sydney FC but under the organisation of the neutral Football Federation Australia, with ball boys were wearing neutral FFA jackets. Despite this supposed neutrality, late in extra time with Adelaide United down by a goal a ball boy on the halfway line refused to hand a ball to Adelaide player Michael Marrone. When Marrone grabbed for the ball the ballboy turned away and dramatically fell to the ground feigning an injury. This lead Sydney FC\'s Matt Simon to charge at Marrone and sparked a wild sideline confrontation between the players, coaching staff and unused substitutes. Marrone was red carded and subsequently given a four game ban, Matt Simon was not yellow carded despite his obvious breach of the rules and was ineligible for any further punishment. After Sydney FC won the game, the ball boy was gifted Michael Zullo\'s winners medal by the player, and allowed to celebrate with the players as they lifted the trophy. On 26 December 2023, while playing away at Bournemouth, the Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno pushed a Bournemouth ballboy in frustration while taking the football from him after it went out of play. The referee, Tim Robinson, asked for the Bournemouth stadium ballboys to retire from their duties, resulting in the cancellation of the multiball system for the rest of the match. Leno apologised to the boy during a later break in play

# Jeremiah Rankin **Jeremiah Eames Rankin** (January 2, 1828 -- November 28, 1904) was an abolitionist, champion of the temperance movement, minister of Washington D.C.\'s First Congregational Church, and correspondent with Frederick Douglass. In 1890 he was appointed sixth president of Howard University in Washington, D.C. Howard\'s Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel was built during Jeremiah Rankin\'s tenure as president (1890--1903) and named after his brother. Rankin is best known as author of the hymns \"God Be with You \'Til we Meet Again\" and \"Tell It to Jesus\". In 1903 Rankin published a fictional journal of Esther Burr (Jonathan Edwards\'s daughter and mother of the third vice president of the United States, Aaron Burr). Rankin was born in Thornton, New Hampshire, and graduated from Middlebury College in 1848. After completing his seminary studies at Andover Theological Seminary in 1854, he served as pastor of Presbyterian and Congregational churches in New York, Vermont, Lowell, Massachusetts, Charlestown, Massachusetts, Orange, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. He was awarded a doctorate from Middlebury College in 1869. From 1870 on he was closely associated with Howard University, as trustee, professor of homiletics and pastoral theology, and president. He served twice as delegate to general conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and once to the Congregational Union of England and Wales. In 1869 Rankin became pastor of Washington\'s First Congregational Church. This appointment followed a split in the church over the issue of race. Those who remained with the church felt that he was prepared to lead the church in a properly unbiased direction. While pastor of the First Congregational Church (1869--84), Rankin\'s sermons were popular with Vice President Henry Wilson and numerous members of the United States Congress. Two sermons were published and circulated throughout the country (\"The Bible, the Security of American Institutions\" and \"The Divinity of the Ballot\"). Among Rankin\'s congregation were Frederick Douglass, John Mercer Langston, Blanche Kelso Bruce, James Monroe Gregory, and William T. Mitchell and their families. He collaborated in the publishing of a number of hymnals, including with E. S. Lorenz\'s *The Gospel Temperance Hymnal* (1878) and John W. Bischoff\'s *Gospel Bells* (1880). Aside from his hymns, Rankin\'s best known poem is \"The Babie\", in the broguish style of Robert Burns, whom Rankin liked for their shared Scottish ancestry. Rankin died in Cleveland, Ohio on November 28, 1904

This is the well-known *Eisnase* route, involving a 100-metre ice pitch of between 60 and 70°, although its precise length and steepness are debated.[1](http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/150739/piz-scerscen.html) This was the route followed by Walter Risch on the first solo ascent of the mountain in 1924. The first ascent of the north-west face was by Christian Klucker and L. Norman-Neruda on 9 July 1890
