# KHTE-FM
**KHTE-FM** (96.5 MHz) is a commercial mainstream urban radio station broadcasting from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States (licensed to England). KHTE-FM is currently branded as \"96.5 The Box\". The station\'s studios are located in West Little Rock, and the transmitter tower is in Redfield, Arkansas.
KHTE-FM, whose previous formats were Rhythmic contemporary and later Urban contemporary known as \"Hot 96.5\", began switching directions to a 1990s-based Top 40 format in August 2009, only to adopt an Adult Top 40 direction just two weeks after the flip, and by 2011 evolved to Top 40/CHR. The move allowed them to compete more effectively with Top 40 rival KLAL for 18- to 49-year-old female listeners and to counter KLAL\'s rock-leaning playlist.
In January 2013, KHTE-FM dropped Top 40/CHR for News/Talk, picking up the format full time from KKSP after it went full-time with their sports format.
On March 17, 2015, it was announced that Salem Media Group, would take over operations of KHTE and KKSP through a local marketing agreement with Crain. On April 2, 2015, KHTE-FM rebranded as \"96.5 The Answer\", matching the names of fellow stations owned by Salem.
On August 1, 2018, KHTE changed its format to urban contemporary, branded as \"96.5 The Box\", competing against KIPR & KPZK (now KFOG)

# MacNab Street (Hamilton, Ontario)
**MacNab Street** is a Lower City collector road in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It starts in the Durand neighbourhood on *Markland Street*, as a one-way street going north to Bold Street, where it becomes two-way for one block until *Hurst Place* where it\'s cut off by a wall for the Hunter Street railway bridge. Pedestrians may cross Hunter Street at an underpass. MacNab Street starts again north of the Railway line on *Hunter Street* as a two-way street but is cut off again at King Street where the Lloyd D. Jackson Square mall and Stelco Tower are situated. MacNab Street continues north of this Mall on York Boulevard, in front of the Hamilton Public Library & the entrance to the Hamilton Farmer\'s Market, again as a two-way street right through the city\'s *North End* to *Burlington Street*. It continues as a one-way street to the waterfront where it ends at *Guise Street West*, the site of the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club and *Pier 5*.
## History
*MacNab Street* was named after Allan MacNab, (1798--1862), *Sir Allan Napier MacNab* soldier, lawyer, businessman, knight and former Prime Minister of Upper Canada. *MacNab Street* South between King Street and Hunter Street West is also named **Franz Liszt Avenue**, named after the Hungarian composer/ conductor/ pianist.
In 1838, St. Mary\'s Roman Catholic Church on *Park Street* (1-block West of *MacNab*) was built. Recently given a complete paint job on the outside and additions added in the South-east of property, (Banquet Hall), and a parking lot done in red gravel. The building is architecturally notable both inside & out.
In 1958, Conway Twitty, singer-songwriter and his band were in town and were playing the *Flamingo Lounge* where *Hamilton Place* auditorium is located today. Legend has it that the drummer, Jack Nance, wrote *\"It\'s Only Make Believe\"* between sets, although another story puts them at the nearby *Fischer Hotel*. The song was recorded in 1958 and became the first of nine Top 40 hits for Twitty, selling eight million copies.
Thomas McQuesten\'s, historic downtown family home was willed to the City after the death of the last of his five unmarried siblings in 1968. After its restoration was complete in 1971, Whitehern has been open as a civic museum and has occasionally served as a period film location.
100 King Street West (formerly Stelco Tower) was built in 1972 in downtown Hamilton, 26-floors/ 103-metres. At the time of completion was the tallest building in Hamilton but that title lasted less than 2 years until Landmark Place, 43-floors/ 127 meters, (originally known as *The Century 21 Building*) was complete in 1974.
Hamilton is also home to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame museum. The museum hosts an annual induction event in a week-long celebration that includes school visits, a golf tournament, a formal induction dinner and concludes with the Hall of Fame game involving the local CFL Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
The Royal Hamilton Yacht Club is only minutes from downtown Hamilton. Offers a fantastic waterfront view and spectacular sunsets. Whether you sail, power boat, swim, or just enjoy great food its all there at the RHYC. Also included are dry sail facilities, youth/adult sailing school, excellent year round dining and well-appointed meeting spaces.
The *Waterfront Shuttle* is a free service offered by the Hamilton Street Railway. It has a seasonal schedule that runs weekends from May-to-October connecting Hamilton\'s downtown core to the waterfront and attractions that can be found there like HMCS Haida and the Parks Canada Discovery Centre.
## Frank A. Cooke Transit Terminal`{{anchor|Transit Terminal}}`{=mediawiki} {#frank_a._cooke_transit_terminal}
The Hamilton Street Railway bus terminal is located between King St W and Main St W, on a section of the street closed to traffic. Once a through street north of King Street, the demolition of buildings for Jackson Square would give rise to an on street transit terminal after 1969. The pre-2011 terminal had seven platforms with ten routes, mostly serving the upper part of the city. The 9 platform terminal was rebuilt and re-opened on 2 January 2011. Formerly known as *McNab Transit Terminal*, the terminal was renamed to the *Frank A. Cooke Transit Terminal* on September 12, 2022 in honor of Franklin Arthur Cooke, the former general manager of HSR from 1946 to 1985.

# Cedar Street Bridge
The **Cedar Street Bridge** carries Illinois Route 8 and Illinois Route 116 over the Illinois River. The bridge is a steel arch design that rises approximately 70 to 80 ft above the surface of the river. The name of the bridge comes from the original name of its street on the Peoria side of the river; the street itself is now called MacArthur Highway, while the bridge is still referred to as Cedar Street.
Completed in 1933, it received the Award of Merit plaque of the American Institute of Steel Construction as the most beautiful bridge in class A (costing more than \$1,000,000) for that year

# The King's Entertainment at Welbeck
***The King\'s Entertainment at Welbeck in Nottinghamshire**\'\', alternatively titled***Love\'s Welcome at Welbeck**\'\', was a masque or entertainment written by Ben Jonson, and performed on 21 May 1633 at the Welbeck estate of William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle. It has been argued that the philosopher Thomas Hobbes may have participated in the entertainment as a performer.
## Background
When King Charles I conducted a royal progress through northern England to Scotland in the spring and summer of 1633, he stayed and was entertained at the country houses of important aristocrats. The most lavish, and in retrospect the most famous of those 1633 shows, was Jonson\'s at Welbeck. Charles was so pleased with it that he requested another from the same source on his 1634 progress, which resulted in the \"more spectacular\" show, *Love\'s Welcome at Bolsover.* Newcastle spent between £4000 and £5000 on the masque, which was considered a phenomenal sum for such an occasion -- until the following year, when the bill for the Bolsover show exceeded that by £10,000.
The commission for the masque came at a welcome time in Jonson\'s career. After *Chloridia* in February 1631, Jonson no longer received commissions for masques from the Stuart Court; in his long battle of egos with Inigo Jones, Jones had finally won and Jonson had lost. In September of the same year, Jonson had also lost his post as the chronologer of the city of London. The Duke of Newcastle, who had an established relationship with Jonson, stepped in to support the poet laureate in his time of need.
## The show {#the_show}
The show opened with a scene portraying the Passions, Love and Doubt, and the Affections, \"Joy, Delight, &c.,\" who sing with a chorus in support. After dinner, the show resumed with a dialogue between Accidence, a schoolmaster, and Fitz-Ale, a herald. The dialogue was followed by six hooded figures who give a display at the quintain, comparable to a display of jousting or \"barriers.\" (Regarding the latter, see: *The Speeches at Prince Henry\'s Barriers.*) The quintain display was brought to a conclusion by a \"Gentleman\" who reproved the rustics and their sport, and hailed the King for his love, goodness, and other virtues.
This ambivalent text has been read as reflecting a larger ambivalence in the Court\'s position on relevant issues. Charles had re-published the *Book of Sports* and Jacobean proclamations urging noblemen to maintain and uphold traditional country life. Yet the Stuart Court was itself oriented far more to an urban and palatial style that tended to draw the aristocracy away from the country and toward the attractions of London.
## Texts
The text of the masque was published in the second folio collection of Jonson\'s works in 1641, and was thereafter included in his canon. A manuscript of the masque is extant among the Newcastle papers, as is the letter from Jonson that probably accompanied the delivery of the text.
## Hobbes
In 1998, A. P. Martinich argued that the figure of Fitz-Ale in the entertainment may have been filled by Thomas Hobbes. Martinich based his argument on details from Hobbes\'s published works and his known relationship with Newcastle, who patronized Hobbes as he did a range of other writers. (The idea of a philosopher turning actor may be strange to a modern sensibility. But training in rhetoric was a fundamental aspect of the trivium, the basic educational system of the day; participation in a rhetorical exercise like the Accidence/Fitz-Ale debate is comprehensible in light of that tradition

# Maurice Tillieux
**Maurice Tillieux** (7 August 1921 -- 2 February 1978) was a Belgian writer and comic artist. He is regarded by many as a major figure of post-war Belgian comics.
## Early life {#early_life}
Maurice Tillieux was born in Huy in 1921. At first he studied for the merchant navy, but his career prospects were sunk following the German invasion of Belgium in 1940. He claims that while waiting at Bordeaux for a ship that was to take him and his fellow students to South America, a Stuka dive-bomber attacked another ship, forcing Tillieux\'s to turn round and Tillieux to go home.
He turned to writing and his first novel *Le navire qui tue ses capitaines* (*The Ship that Kills its Captains*) was published in 1943. Many of his stories would be set at sea or in the docks where his early ambitions may have developed. Two other novels are supposed to have been written at this time, but there seems to be some confusion as to whether or not they were actually published.
Tillieux had already done some work as an artist. He contributed to various weekly and monthly comics as artist and writer, often signing his work with a variety of English pseudonyms.
## Career
It was in the weekly comic *Heroïc-Albums*, which started in 1947, that he developed his style and proved himself a master of detective stories loaded with humour and atmosphere. *Heroïc-Albums*\'s main appeal was that each issue contained complete stories rather than a number of episodes spread over weekly or monthly instalments.
Tillieux\'s most notable contribution was *Félix*, the adventures of a glasses-wearing reporter who travelled the world accompanied by two sidekicks called Allume-Gaz (French for *gas lighter*) and Inspector Cabarez of the Chilean police. Like most comic strip reporters, Félix spent most of his time fighting crooks and spies rather than simply reporting about them.
*Heroïc-Albums* ceased publication in 1956, and Tillieux introduced his most famous character, Gil Jourdan, in *Spirou* magazine, where he had already worked as an illustrator since 1940. Jourdan was very similar to Félix, though he had clear vision and was an actual PI. Like Félix, he was also flanked by two sidekicks, including a police contact, both of whom provided most of the comic relief which contrasted to the earnest nature of the title character. Some of Félix\'s stories were the basis for some of Jourdan\'s adventures.
One major innovation of the Jourdan series was the atmosphere of the places where he would go to. Whereas previous series like *The Adventures of Tintin* were based in spotlessly clean homes and locations, Jordan\'s world was made up of dusty offices, littered streets, wet docks and mud-splattered farms.
In later years Tillieux, like many leading figures in the field, stuck to writing while leaving most of the artwork to others. Gos took over the drawing of *Gil Jourdan* and Tillieux also contributed to other series such as *Tif et Tondu* and *Yoko Tsuno*. Another major detective series was *Jess Long*, the adventures of an FBI agent, which were drawn by Arthur Piroton in a more realistic style.
Tillieux enjoyed action as well as humour and mystery, and many of his strips feature elaborate fights and car chases. On 31 January 1978, while returning from the annual Angoulême International Comics Festival, he was fatally injured in a car crash near Tours, and died two days later on 2 February.
## Humour
Humour was an important element of Tillieux\'s work even in his detective stories. At their best *Félix* and *Gil Jourdan* could provide good laughs as well as good adventures and mysteries.
Tillieux therefore also wrote non-detective series with the emphasis on humour. One example was *César*, a domestic comic strip in which the titled protagonist lives next door to a policeman. Many of the strips involve César babysitting his neighbour\'s little daughter. Mayhem ensues and, as a reward for his trouble, César ends up being fined by the little girl\'s father.
*Marc Lebut*, drawn by Francis, are the adventures of the young owner of a Ford T car who is the bane of his long-suffering neighbour. Lebut is always dragging the poor Mister Goular into all sorts of crazy adventures and dismissing all pleas not to get involved in Mister Goular\'s own problems. Lebut has a way of making Mister Goular responsible when things go wrong and getting the glory for himself when they go right. He could be described as a pesky anti-hero along the lines of Jolyon Wagg from the adventures of Tintin.
There was also *Hultrasson* (a pun on the French for *ultrasound*), which was drawn by Leonardo Vittorio and based in an *Hägar the Horrible*-like world of Vikings.
Tillieux also contributed a couple of storylines to *La Ribambelle*, the stories of a multi-racial gang of kids, drawn by Jean Roba and the classic series *Tif et Tondu*.

# KOLL
**KOLL** (106.3 FM, \"La Zeta\") is a radio station licensed in Lonoke, Arkansas, broadcasting to the Little Rock, Arkansas, area. KOLL airs Regional Mexican music format. The station\'s studios are located in West Little Rock, and the transmitter tower is located near Pettus.
## History
Prior to their current format, the station aired Urban Contemporary format as KWTD in the early 1980s later changing their call letters to KMZX in 1990 with the same format. Later the station was named \"The River\" and played and All Favorites Hits English Format. Also prior to their current call letters, the station was \"KLEC\" which featured a modern rock format from the summer of 1998 until the fall of 2004. The station was known as \"Lick 1063\".
On-air personalities were chosen from the local public through a series of studio interviews, then on-air interviews in a type of sink-or-swim competition of sorts.
The station logo was chosen through an internet poll on their website. Lick 1063 moved around on the radio dial several times, starting out at 101.1 FM in a \"format\" of a variety of about 35 compact discs, some home-recorded from the head engineer\'s (Steve Gimbert\'s) vinyl collection, then to 96.5 FM, when the station adopted a harder sound with groups such as Type O Negative, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Korn and Pantera.
Later, the format moved to the stronger 106.3 frequency.
Lick 1063 also featured The Corey and Jay Show in morning drive. They were fired when Archway Broadcasting purchased the station from Equity Broadcasting in late 2002. Corey and Jay later moved to KMJX, a classic rock station, replacing Tommy Smith and his long-running \"Rock and Roll Breakfast\" morning show. They later moved to KDJE.
On September 1, 2012, at Midnight, after playing \"Black Velvet\" by Alannah Myles, KOLL flipped to a Regional Mexican format branded as \"La Zeta 106.3″

# 300 (soundtrack)
***300: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack*** is the soundtrack to the 2007 film of the same name by Tyler Bates. The album was released by Warner Bros. Records on March 6, 2007, three days before the film opened for public viewing.
## Production and composition {#production_and_composition}
In July 2005, composer Tyler Bates began work on the film, describing the score as having \"beautiful themes on the top and large choir,\" but \"tempered with some extreme heaviness.\" The composer had scored for a test scene that the director wanted to show to Warner Bros. to illustrate the path of the project. Bates said that the score had \"a lot of weight and intensity in the low end of the percussion\" that Snyder found agreeable to the film. The score was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and features the vocals of Azam Ali (where she implements ethnic wailing). A standard edition and a special edition of the soundtrack containing 25 tracks was released on March 6, 2007, with the special edition containing a 16-page booklet and three two-sided trading cards.
The lyrics sung are in Bulgarian, Greek and Latin. The opening lines of the track \"Come and Get Them\" are \"*Ferto! -- Parte to!\"* (*φέρτο! -- πάρτε το!*) translating as \"bring it! -- take it!\". It is said that Leonidas exclaimed Molōn Labe! (*Μολὼν Λαβέ!*) when asked by Xerxes to surrender their weapons, which is translated into English as \"Come and Get Them\".
## Track listing {#track_listing}
## Copyright issues {#copyright_issues}
The score was criticized for its similarity to other then-recent soundtracks, including James Horner and Gabriel Yared\'s work for the film *Troy*. The heaviest borrowings were said to be from Elliot Goldenthal\'s 1999 score for *Titus*. \"Remember Us,\" from *300*, is identical in parts to the \"Finale\" from *Titus*, and \"Returns a King\" is similar to the cue \"Victorius Titus\". On August 3, 2007, Warner Bros. Pictures acknowledged in an official statement: `{{cquote|... a number of the music cues for the score of ''300'' were, without our knowledge or participation, derived from music composed by Academy Award winning composer Elliot Goldenthal for the motion picture ''Titus''. Warner Bros. Pictures has great respect for Elliot, our longtime collaborator, and is pleased to have amicably resolved this matter.}}`{=mediawiki}
## Reception
Upon its release, the 300 soundtrack received mostly negative reviews from film music reviewers, largely due to the Goldenthal plagiarism. Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks.com refused to review the album upon its release, later giving the album one star and quoting Bates as saying \"I have as much respect for a garbage can lid as I do for the orchestra. Both of them can be entirely useful and important in the scope of a movie, if you look at them the right way.\" Clemmensen responds \"That\'s a wise statement, but it\'s completely irrelevant unless you can actually use that garbage can lid in a manner that doesn\'t break the law.\".
The soundtrack debuted at #74 on the Billboard Top 200 and rose to #52 in its second week. It has sold 37,638 copies to date

# SPG-82
The **SPG-82** (transliterated Russian: *Stankovyi Protivotankovyi Granatomet* - heavy antitank grenade launcher) was a Soviet wheeled antitank rocket launcher that entered service after the end of World War II. It was replaced in Soviet service by the B-10 recoilless rifle from 1954 but remained in service with some armies, notably in the Middle East until the 1970s. The SPG-82 was also carried by BRIMOB (the Indonesia Police Mobile Brigade) in 1963. It has been replaced by B-10 recoilless rifle.
## Description
The weapon consists of a long barrel tube with a flared muzzle, supported by a simple carriage with two small solid wheels. A curved shoulder pad is attached to left side of the barrel, and a large shield is fitted to protect the crew from the back-blast produced by the rocket projectiles. The shield is not thick enough to provide protection from enemy fire. The weapon is normally fired from the carriage, but it can be dismounted and shoulder fired by two men working together to support the weapon.
The weapon fires two types of projectiles, a general purpose explosive/fragmentation round, the OG-82, and an armour piercing anti-tank round, the PG-82. It has two sets of iron sights corresponding to the two different rounds fired by the weapon. The HE sight is graduated out to 700 meters while the weapon\'s effective range for the HEAT round is around 200 meters.

# TaxAct
**TaxAct Holdings, Inc.** is an American tax preparation software company based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The company offers its own software package \"TaxAct\" to individual tax registers, companies and professional affiliates. The company was founded in 1998.
## History
TaxAct Holdings, Inc. was founded in 1998 as *2nd Story Software* by Lance Dunn, Jerry McConnell, Cammie Greif, and Alan Sperfslage.
In 2000, a cloud-based version of TaxAct software was released. In 2004, TA Associates, a private equity firm based in Boston, acquired two-thirds of the company for \$89 million.
In October 2010, H&R Block said it would pay \$287.5 million in cash to acquire the parent firm of TaxAct. In May 2011 the U.S. Department of Justice attempted to stop the acquisition in an antitrust lawsuit. In November 2011, a federal judge sided with the Justice Department, and both companies mutually terminated the contract.
In January 2012, 2nd Story Software was sold to Seattle-based Blucora (formerly Infospace, Inc.) for more than \$287 million. In 2013, the name was officially changed to TaxAct Holdings, Inc. Subsequently, in October of the same year, TaxAct acquired Balance Financial, the company that specializes in personal finance tools and services.
In 2018, former Intuit executive Curtis Campbell was appointed as the President of the company.
TaxAct is a member of the Free File Alliance, a free federal tax preparation and electronic filing program for eligible individual taxpayers developed through a partnership between the IRS and a group of private sector tax software companies.
In November 2022, private equity firm Cinven agreed to acquire TaxAct for about \$720 million. Cinven announced it would combine TaxAct\'s business with Drake Software, which it acquired the previous year, under a single holding company.
## Product overview {#product_overview}
TaxAct offers tax preparation software for individuals, small businesses, and tax professionals. They offer both online and download products, and have a mobile app available for iOS and Android.
There are several online plans: Free, Deluxe, Premier, Self- Employed, Business, and Pro. TaxAct offers a free federal version for basic returns.
In March 2018 TaxAct Online Freelancer Edition was awarded the title of \"The best tax software for independent contractors\" by Business Insider

# Decima Gallery
**Decima Gallery** (also **Decima Projects**, **Decima International Arts** or **Decima**) is a London-based arts projects organisation with a reputation for irreverent projects. It is owned and managed by David West, Alex Chappel, Larry McGinity and Mark Reeves.
Decima have occupied various physical spaces since 1997 and have also staged a number of projects hosted by other venues, in London and around the world, including major London spaces such as the Tate Modern, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Whitechapel Gallery. Decima have also staged many conceptual, event-based and media-based projects. Ralph Rugoff in a 1998 edition of *Frieze* called them \"Neo-Publicists\", describing them as not just seeking press coverage, but using mass media as an artistic medium.
As well as staging art projects, events, and club nights, Decima deals in limited edition books and prints, specialising in Gilbert & George and Stephen Gill.
A 2008 article in *The London Paper* described the gallery as \"infamous\" for its headline-grabbing stunts in the late 1990s, including the hoax \"Fuckart & Pimp\" exhibition where Angela Marshall pretended to offer her artwork in exchange for oral sex, the show \"Was Jesus a Homosexual?\" and the time that curators Alex Chappel and David West gatecrashed the Tate dressed as a pantomime cow to \"make people think\".
## Origin
David C. West worked with the Factual Nonsense Gallery alongside Joshua Compston before Compston\'s death on 5 March 1996. Among projects on which they collaborated was The Jack Duckworth Memorial Clinic, a spoof clinic for soap opera addicts.
In 1996, West, along with Alex Chappel, formed a \"media terrorist\" group called a.r.t. (\"a reasonable thought\"). \"We use the media as a canvas for art\", explained West: \"Stunts have included running a clinic for soap opera addicts and launching The Dennis Nilsen Tour Company.\".

# Decima Gallery
## Decima Street 1997-2000 {#decima_street_1997_2000}
The group\'s name originates from the address of their first gallery space which was officially launched in February 1998 at 3 Decima Studios, Decima Street, London SE1.
The gallery was first occupied on 31 August 1997 by Guy Hilton, Philip Hunt, Alex Chappel and Matthew John Andrew. Guy Hilton left before the first show, later founding the Guy Hilton Gallery with Angela Friese in London\'s East End, in 2005. On 12 February 1998 the gallery was launched with a show named \"Scott\", which was organised by Matthew John Andrew and Philip Hunt.
In April 1998, Decima staged \"Fuckart & Pimp\", a hoaxed show that purported to feature a female artist producing paintings while having sex with clients.
\"With delicious predictability, the Great British Public were incensed.\" The show was in fact a hoax.
Hunt and Andrew left in November 1998 after which, Decima was managed by Chappel and West.
On 21 August 1998, Decima sent a fax to the Tate informing them that they would be bringing a real cow to the Gallery to \"show where food and sex connect with the world of art\". It turned out to be the artists themselves as a pantomime cow. At this time, the artist Derrick Welsh was represented by and closely affiliated to Decima.
In April 1999, Decima attempted to cause another splash with a show entitled \"Was Jesus a Homosexual?\" which was organised in conjunction with political philosopher Richard Morley. The Independent\'s Pandora column reported that:
The exhibition also featured Swedish artist Anna Livia Löwendahl-Atomic.
When the original gallery space closed in January 2000 the name Decima continued to be used by Chappel and West for art projects.
## In limbo 2000-2007 {#in_limbo_2000_2007}
Decima steadily continued organising and participating in projects during 2000--2007, albeit far less frequently. During this time, those involved with Decima became involved with other offshoot and related projects.
In 2005, The Upstairs Gallery in Clerkenwell Green, London was opened by Chappel and Fiona Watson while the Guy Hilton Gallery was opened in Spitalfields, London, and an art and book sales website www.drugaddict.co.uk was launched by West.
## Gallery 2 in Hackney Wick {#gallery_2_in_hackney_wick}
Decima opened an art gallery in a former peanut factory in London\'s Hackney Wick area on 23 February 2008 with a launch show \"The Famous, The Infamous and the Really Quite Good\".`{{Failed verification|date=April 2011}}`{=mediawiki}
In March 2008, Decima began a collaboration with local galleries Elevator and Residence and local studios to plan a local Arts Festival, called Hackney Wicked. On 8 August, The first Hackney Wicked festival went ahead.
Also during 2008, Decima launched their online project \'Decima TV\' by webcasting a \"chat show\" in which comedian Aaron Barschak conducted a series of interviews with artists, namely the artists Bob & Roberta Smith, Franko B and Mark McGowan.
Decima are on record as sceptical about the 2012 Olympics, which is planned for the Hackney Wick area. They comment in an article by Fay Nicholson \"Relational Aesthetics\"
The Hackney Wick Decima Gallery space closed late 2008 - early 2009.
## Without walls, 2009 {#without_walls_2009}
Decima were criticised in January 2009 following an exhibition on Sunday 18th where they utilised images of missing three-year-old schoolgirl Madeleine McCann in a pornographic exhibition *Make Your Own Maddy Porn*. The exhibition was branded \"appalling and completely insensitive\" by the NSPCC. West and Chappel responded with a statement to the *Hackney Gazette*, saying that \"In many ways we were just trying to highlight how Madeleine McCann\'s image has been used and abused by the press over the past 21 months.\" They added that they \"never intended nor wanted to cause offence to the McCann family by doing this\" but acknowledged that such an outcome was \"impossible to achieve\". They claimed to have been subjected to \"dozens of people from Liverpool literally kicking the door in\" after the gallery\'s details were given out on a Liverpool radio station, and the Hackney Wick gallery was closed at the end of January.
In July 2009, Decima exhibited in the Ghetto Gallery, Split, Croatia and went on to stage notable exhibitions in Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany; Piccadilly, London and the Tate Modern, London.
As well as exhibitions, in 2009 Decima also organised various film projects, performance projects, art fairs, live music events and even a Berlin rave.

# Allele-specific oligonucleotide
An **anti-sense oligonucleotide** (**ASO**) is a short piece of synthetic DNA complementary to the sequence of a variable target DNA. It acts as a probe for the presence of the target in a Southern blot assay or, more commonly, in the simpler dot blot assay. It is a common tool used in genetic testing, forensics, and molecular biology research.
An ASO is typically an oligonucleotide of 15--21 nucleotide bases in length. It is designed (and used) in a way that makes it specific for only one version, or allele, of the DNA being tested. The length of the ASO, which strand it is chosen from, and the conditions by which it is bound to (and washed from) the target DNA all play a role in its specificity. These probes can usually be designed to detect a difference of as little as 1 base in the target\'s genetic sequence, a basic ability in the assay of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), important in genotype analysis and the Human Genome Project. To be detected after it has bound to its target, the ASO must be labeled with a radioactive, enzymatic, or fluorescent tag. The Illumina Methylation Assay technology takes advantage of ASO to detect one base pair difference (cytosine versus thymine) to measure methylation at a specific CpG site.
## Example
The human disease sickle cell anemia is caused by a genetic mutation in the codon for the sixth amino acid of the blood protein beta-hemoglobin. The normal DNA sequence G-A-G codes for the amino acid glutamate, while the mutation changes the middle adenine to a thymine, leading to the sequence G-T-G (G-U-G in the mRNA). This altered sequence substitutes a valine into the final protein, distorting its structure.
To test for the presence of the mutation in a DNA sample, an ASO probe would be synthesized to be complementary to the altered sequence, here labeled as \"S\". As a control, another ASO would be synthesized for the normal sequence \"A\". Each ASO is fully complementary to its target sequence (and will bind strongly), but has a single mismatch against its non-target allele (leading to weaker interaction). The first diagram shows how the \"S\" probe is fully complementary to the \"S\" target (top), but is partially mismatched against the \"A\" target (bottom).
right\|thumb\|350px\|`{{center|Schematic of dot-blots using the "A" or "S" ASO probes.}}`{=mediawiki} A segment of the beta-hemoglobin genes in the sample DNA(s) would be amplified by PCR, and the resulting products applied to duplicate support membranes as Dot blots. The sample\'s DNA strands are separated with alkali, and each ASO probe is applied to a different blot. After hybridization, a washing protocol is used which can discriminate between the fully complementary and the mismatched hybrids. The mismatched ASOs are washed off of the blots, while the matched ASOs (and their labels) remain.
In the second diagram, six samples of amplified DNA have been applied to each of the two blots. Detection of the ASO label that remains after washing allows a direct reading of the genotype of the samples, each with two copies of the beta-hemoglobin gene. Samples 1 and 4 only have the normal \"A\" allele, while samples 3 and 5 have both the \"A\" and \"S\" alleles (and are therefore heterozygous carriers of this recessive mutation). Samples 2 and 6 have only the \"S\" allele, and would be affected by the disease. The small amount of \'cross hybridization\' shown is typical, and is considered in the process of interpreting the final results.
## Alternatives
ASO analysis is only one of the methods used to detect genetic polymorphisms. Direct DNA sequencing is used to initially characterize the mutation, but is too laborious for routine screening. An earlier method, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) didn\'t need to know the sequence change beforehand, but required that the mutation affect the cleavage site of a Restriction Enzyme. The RFLP assay was briefly adapted to the use of oligonucleotide probes, but this technique was quickly supplanted by ASO analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified DNA. The PCR technique itself has been adapted to detect polymorphisms, as allele-specific PCR. However, the simplicity and versatility of the combined PCR/ASO method has led to its continued use, including with non-radioactive labels, and in a \"reverse dot blot\" format where the ASO probes are bound to the membrane and the amplified sample DNA is used for hybridization.

# Allele-specific oligonucleotide
## History
The use of synthetic oligonucleotides as specific probes for genetic sequence variations was pioneered by R. Bruce Wallace, working at the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, California. In 1979 Wallace and his coworkers reported the use of ASO probes to detect variations in a single-stranded bacterial virus, and later applied the technique to cloned human genes. In 1983 and 1985 Wallace\'s lab reported the detection of the mutation for sickle cell anemia in samples of whole genomic DNA, although this application was hampered by the small amount of label that could be carried by the ASO.
Fortunately PCR, a method to greatly amplify a specific segment of DNA, was also reported in 1985. In less than a year PCR had been paired with ASO analysis. This combination solved the problem of ASO labeling, since the amount of target DNA could be amplified over a million-fold. Also, the specificity of the PCR process itself could be added to that of the ASO probes, greatly reducing the problem of spurious binding of the ASO to non-target sequences. The combination was specific enough that it could be used in a simple Dot blot, avoiding the laborious and inefficient Southern blot method.
## Other uses {#other_uses}
ASO-PCR may also be used to detect minimal residual disease in blood cancers such as multiple myeloma

# Rosa 'American Beauty'
***Rosa* \'American Beauty**\' is a deep pink to crimson rose cultivar, bred by Henri Lédéchaux in France in 1875, and was originally named **{{\'}}Madame Ferdinand Jamin{{\'}}**.
## Description
The hybrid perpetual has cup-shaped flowers with a brilliant crimson color and up to 50 petals, situated on long, stiff stems. The buds are thick and globular and open to strongly scented, hybrid tea-like flowers with a diameter of 11 cm. They appear in flushes over a long period, but according to the RHS Encyclopedia of Roses, only sparingly.
The height of the upright, vigorous shrub ranges between 90 and at an average width of 90 to. \'American Beauty\' has prickly shoots, dark green foliage and is winter hardy up to −29 °C (USDA zone 5), but is susceptible to the fungi diseases mildew, rust and black spot. It is well suited as a cut flower, and can be grown in greenhouses, in containers, or as a garden rose, planted solitary or in groups.
## History
In 1875, it was brought to the United States by George Valentine Nash. It was introduced as a new rose cultivar named \'American Beauty\' by Bancroft and Field Bros in 1886, but quite soon identified as \'Madame Ferdinand Jamin\'. In 1888, Bassett & Washburn first introduced the rose to other florists for purchase. It became a famous greenhouse variety and was the best-selling rose cultivar in the United States until the 1920s. Due to its high price per stem (at least two dollars per stem right from its launch in 1886) and its popularity, the cultivar was called the *million-dollar rose*. Its popularity remained focused on the United States, while it is only rarely cultivated in other countries.
## Symbol
The flower is commemorated in the Joseph Lamb ragtime composition \"American Beauty Rag\".
In a pastiche Ziegfeld-style number, \"The Flower Garden Of My Heart\" in the 1940 Rodgers & Hart Broadway musical *Pal Joey*, one of the six \'flower\' girls appears as the American Beauty Rose.
The song \"American Beauty Rose\" was written in 1950 and popularized by Frank Sinatra.
In the musical \"Funny Girl\", protagonist Fanny Brice humorously refers to herself as an \"American beauty rose / with an American beauty nose / and ten American beauty toes\" in the song \"I\'m the Greatest Star.\"
In Joseph Heller\'s novel *Catch-22*, an aged Italian hurls an American Beauty rose at Major de Coverly, wounding him in the eye.
The flower is a recurring motif in the Oscar-winning 1999 film *American Beauty*.
It was also featured on the cover of the Grateful Dead album *American Beauty*.
\'American Beauty\' is the official flower of the District of Columbia. It was further adopted as the formal symbol of the upscale Lord & Taylor store chain in 1943, and as the official flower of several fraternities and sororities (Sigma Phi Delta fraternity, Mu Beta Psi fraternity, Phi Sigma Sigma sorority, Tau Beta Sigma sorority, Beta Beta Beta, a coed academic fraternity for biology majors, and Alpha Rho Omega sorority)

# Zakai equation
In filtering theory the **Zakai equation** is a linear stochastic partial differential equation for the un-normalized density of a hidden state. In contrast, the Kushner equation gives a non-linear stochastic partial differential equation for the normalized density of the hidden state. In principle either approach allows one to estimate a quantity function (the state of a dynamical system) from noisy measurements, even when the system is non-linear (thus generalizing the earlier results of Wiener and Kalman for linear systems and solving a central problem in estimation theory). The application of this approach to a specific engineering situation may be problematic however, as these equations are quite complex. The Zakai equation is a bilinear stochastic partial differential equation. It was named after Moshe Zakai. \_\_NOTOC\_\_
## Overview
Assume the state of the system evolves according to
$$dx = f(x,t) dt + dw$$
and a noisy measurement of the system state is available:
$$dz = h(x,t) dt + dv$$
where $w, v$ are independent Wiener processes. Then the unnormalized conditional probability density $p(x,t)$ of the state at time t is given by the Zakai equation:
$$dp = L[p] dt + p h^T dz$$
where
$$L[p] = -\sum \frac{\partial (f_i p)}{\partial x_i} + \frac12 \sum \frac{\partial^2 p}{\partial x_i \partial x_j}$$ is a Kolmogorov forward operator.
As previously mentioned, $p$ is an unnormalized density and thus does not necessarily integrate to 1. After solving for $p$, integration and normalization can be done if desired (an extra step not required in the Kushner approach).
Note that if the last term on the right hand side is omitted (by choosing h identically zero), the result is a nonstochastic PDE: the familiar Fokker--Planck equation, which describes the evolution of the state when no measurement information is available

# Transport in Jerusalem
**Transport in Jerusalem** is characterized by a well-developed inter-city network and an emerging, developing intra-city network. Ben Gurion International Airport serves as Jerusalem\'s closest international airport. Egged bus lines and Israel Railways connect the city of Jerusalem to much of Israel, and a high-speed rail line to Herzliya via Ben Gurion Airport and Tel-Aviv was completed in 2018. Within the city, the roads, rather than the rails, are the primary mode of transportation.
## Roads
Begin Highway (Highway 50) is the western inner city expressway in Jerusalem. It runs north to south from Atarot to Manahat (Malha), and is being extended to link further south into Highway 60 to Gush Etzion. The northern end of the highway is fed by Highway 443 from Tel Aviv and Modiin. The Atarot-Talpiot route (Highway 60) is the main route which traverses the center of the city; and Herzl Boulevard, which begins at the northern entrance of the city and continues south via Mount Herzl and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. It then merges into additional routes that lead to the southwestern quarters. The Golomb-Herzog-Ben-Zvi route also links the southern quarters with the city center.
Running east through the city center, Jaffa Road connects the Jaffa Gate of the Old City as well as the central-eastern neighbourhoods and the northwestern city entrance to Highway 1. Highway 1 bypasses the city-centre to the north as Yigael Yadin Boulevard, and links Ma\'ale Adummim to Begin Highway near Ramot.
Construction is progressing on parts of a 35-kilometer (22-mi) ring road around the city, fostering faster connection between the suburbs and the city center. The eastern half of the project was conceptualized decades ago, but reaction to the proposed highway is still mixed.
## Buses
Jerusalem Central Bus Station is Jerusalem\'s main intercity bus station. The city is served mainly by Egged buses, though as of 2009, a number of other companies are providing an increasing number of bus lines to and from the city also; as of 2009, Dan and Superbus also use the Central Bus Station. City buses in Jerusalem are run by Egged and Superbus, which runs close to 100 bus lines throughout the city and its suburbs. A map of the various lines may be accessed on MobileMe
Two joint Egged--Dan bus lines serve the Bnei Brak -- Jerusalem route, while Superbus and Veolia serve Modi\'in Illit and Modi\'in respectively. As of December 2008, Superbus also provides all bus routes in the Jerusalem corridor, between Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh. The Illit company provides bus lines to Beitar Illit.
East Jerusalem Arab-run buses serve the city\'s Arab neighborhoods in Eastern Jerusalem and also some Palestinian towns in the Palestinian Authority and Israeli Arab towns. This system is based out of the East Jerusalem Central Bus Station on Sultan Suleiman Street, though buses also leave from outside the Damascus Gate of the Old City.
The Egged and the East Jerusalem Arab city bus networks are almost completely separated. There are a handful of bus stops served by both companies. Arab residents of East Jerusalem indeed use Egged buses, but Jewish residents rarely use the East Jerusalem Arab buses, in part because while Arabs of East Jerusalem occasionally visit the Jewish parts of Jerusalem, Jews do not frequently visit Jerusalem\'s Arab neighborhoods.
## Trains
Israel Railways operates two separate train lines to Jerusalem. The main line is the new high-speed rail link, which opened in 2018, with an expected transit time from Tel Aviv of about 30 minutes. It runs from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem via Ben Gurion Airport and terminates at a new underground station, Jerusalem--Yitzhak Navon railway station, located between the Jerusalem Central Bus Station and the International Convention Center.
The older line goes from Bet Shemesh to Southern Jerusalem with 2 stops: Jerusalem Malha near the Malha Mall and Jerusalem Biblical Zoo. This line was originally part of the Jaffa--Jerusalem railway, which opened in 1892. It was out of use for seven years because of deteriorating conditions and was restored on April 9, 2005. Jerusalem Malha is a new station which replaces the historical Khan Station at Remez Square near the Old City.

# Transport in Jerusalem
## Light rail {#light_rail}
The first line of the Jerusalem Light Rail network was completed in 2010 with the erection of Santiago Calatrava\'s Chords Bridge over Jaffa Road. The first line began operating from Pisgat Ze\'ev in the northeast, through French Hill and Jaffa Road to the Central Bus Station and the southwestern neighborhoods. The line was fully operational by late 2011, after several delays, with 14 trains and a maximum headway of 12 minutes. Extensions of the line are expected to open in 2025 after significant delays to Hadassa Ein Kerem Hospital in the west and to the Neve Yaakov neighborhood in the north. Additional lines have been planned from the southern neighborhood of Gilo to the Hebrew University Mount Scopus Campus via Givat Ram and the entrance to the city (Green Line) and from Gilo to Mount Hotzvim via the City Center and Meah Shearim (Blue Line).
## Airports
Atarot Airport was Jerusalem\'s airport, but was closed to civilian traffic in 2000 due to security concerns arising from the Second Intifada, and was later placed under IDF control during 2001. However, Ben Gurion International Airport, 40 km (24 mi) northwest of the city, serves as the primary international air transport hub for both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. As the largest of the nation\'s three international airports (the others are in Haifa and Eilat, but Haifa Airport is unable to handle the largest aircraft), Ben Gurion is Israel\'s busiest airport, serving over 20 million passengers annually

# Eddie Hearn
**Edward John Hearn** (born 8 June 1979) is a British sports promoter and the chairman of Matchroom Sport and Professional Darts Corporation. Hearn has promoted many world champion boxers through Matchroom, including Anthony Joshua, Canelo Álvarez, Gennady Golovkin, Vasyl Lomachenko, Katie Taylor and many others. He is the son of promoter Barry Hearn, the founder of Matchroom Sport.
## Education
Hearn was a student at the private Brentwood School, Essex. He failed to get into sixth form at Brentwood School as he performed poorly on his GCSEs. Hearn played cricket and football to a high standard, and his father Barry petitioned the school to let him stay on for his sporting record, but the school refused. Hearn said, \"I grew up thinking I was a hard nut and in Brentwood School I was. Anywhere else I was a pansy.\" He then went to Havering College of Further and Higher Education in Hornchurch, which was not selective. Barry encouraged Hearn to study by promising him £1,000 for a C or better grade in his A-level subjects, which were communications studies, physical education and business studies. Hearn achieved two Cs and one A.
## Early career {#early_career}
Matchroom Sport was founded by Eddie\'s father, Barry Hearn. After leaving education, Hearn started a career at a sports management company representing golfers, eventually moving on to promote online poker with Matchroom with the events being broadcast worldwide. In the UK, they were broadcast by Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky Sports.
## Career
In 2010, Hearn met boxer Audley Harrison at a poker game and agreed to help him rebuild his career, subsequently getting Harrison a fight with heavyweight champion David Haye for his WBA title, which began his career and establishment of Matchroom Boxing.
In 2013, Hearn signed a promotional agreement with Anthony Joshua, one year after his gold medal win at the London 2012 Olympics. He has promoted all of Joshua\'s fights since, including multiple world champion fights.
In 2014, Hearn promoted Carl Froch vs. George Groves II in 2014 at Wembley Stadium with 80,000 fans in attendance.
In 2015, Hearn signed an exclusive televised boxing deal with UK broadcaster Sky Sports to broadcast up to 20 shows a year. The deal was in place for six years and lasted until 2021.
In 2017, Hearn promoted Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko which took place at Wembley Stadium with 90,000 fans in attendance.
In May 2018, Hearn revealed boxing\'s first-ever \$1 billion boxing deal (£750 million) as Matchroom and streaming service DAZN signed an agreement to stream shows across the United States. At the heart of the deal, Hearn and Matchroom Boxing would stage 16 shows in America, which would be streamed exclusively on DAZN in the U.S., while 16 of his UK shows will also be shown on the platform.
In 2019, Hearn agreed a deal to promote a professional boxing match between YouTube personalities KSI and Logan Paul, which took place on 9 November 2019 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. This match was heavily criticised by boxing fans across the globe; they claimed KSI and Paul were not suitable to be promoted by Hearn, due to their lack of experience. Referring to their first amateur fight which Hearn had previously declined to promote, he described it as \"a really good fight and I told myself I\'m doing the rematch.\"
In the same year, Hearn came under criticism for staging Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua II in Saudi Arabia, due to the country\'s poor human rights record. He defended the decision by stating that Saudi Arabia wanted to improve its image and that his job \"is to provide the best opportunities for our fighters.\"
In 2019, Hearn launched a BBC Radio 5 Live podcast called \'No Passion, No Point\' interviewing a number of sports professionals including Andrew Flintoff, Wayne Rooney and Tyson Fury.
In April 2021, Hearn was appointed Chairman of the Matchroom Group after Hearn\'s father, Barry Hearn, stepped aside from the role of chairman to become president of the group in an advisory role.
On 8 May 2021, Hearn promoted Canelo Álvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders in front of 73,126 fans at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which broke the all-time attendance record for an indoor boxing event in the United States. Matchroom subsequently agreed a further two-fight promotional deal with Canelo Álvarez in a deal worth \$85 million. Later that same month, Hearn became involved in a war of words with rival promoters Bob Arum of Top Rank, and Frank Warren of Queensberry Promotions, over the failure of a deal coming to fruition for a proposed Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight, accusing them of making \"absolutely zero attempt to try and save the Anthony Joshua fight\".
On 3 June 2021, Hearn announced that he had signed a five-year deal that meant he would be taking his entire stable of Matchroom fighters to streaming service DAZN, which ended Matchroom\'s previous partnership with Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland. As part of the deal, all Matchroom events will be shown exclusively on DAZN worldwide, and \"at least 16 Matchroom UK fights \[will be\] annually available exclusively to DAZN subscribers in the UK and Ireland for the first time, from July 2021 onwards\".
In September 2021, Hearn and Anthony Joshua announced a new promotional deal to last until the end of the boxer\'s career.
In April 2022, Hearn co-promoted the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the first women\'s fight to headline the venue.
In 2024, Hearn participated in the Queensberry vs. Matchroom 5v5 event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a distinctive boxing competition against fellow promoter Frank Warren. Each promoter selected five fighters, with the scoring system awarding two points for a knockout, one point for a decision win, and double points for victories by team captains. Despite Hearn\'s strategic efforts, his team was decisively defeated, losing all matches and ending with a 10-0 loss against Warren\'s team. In 2025 he promoted Conor Benn in his match against Chris Eubank Jr.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
Eddie Hearn lives near Billericay in Essex with his wife Chloe and their two daughters. He generally has a good relationship with his fighters, and is good friends with former WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew whose career he helped turn around. In 2020, then unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, whom Hearn has promoted since Joshua\'s professional debut in 2013, said that he and Eddie \"will always have a great friendship.\"
After Hearn promoted a boxing event in Fresno, California in 2021, the Mayor of Fresno, Jerry Dyer, declared 16 October to be celebrated as \"Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn Day\"

# Jan Firbas
**Jan Firbas** (25 March 1921, Brno -- 5 May 2000, Brno), was a Czech linguist and a prominent representative of the Prague School of linguistics.
## Biography
Born in Brno, in then Czechoslovakia, he studied English, German and philosophy at the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University. From 1949 he was a member of the Department of English and American Studies of the faculty until his death in 2000. He became a member of the Prague Linguistics Circle, which was outlawed by the communist government. Persecution from the communist government and the fact that he came from an old Protestant family and refused to renounce his belief significantly delayed his academic career. Despite his international renown, it took him ten years to have his habilitation officially approved and he was only made Professor in 1990. In 1986, he was awarded Honorary Doctorates by the Universities of Leuven and Leeds, and in 2000 by the University of Turku. Even though he was frequently invited to give lecture series at universities across the globe in the 1970s and 80s, he could freely accept the invitations only after the fall of the communist regime in November 1989. Jan Firbas died on 5 May 2000 in Brno.
Firbas developed a theory of Information Structure called Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP), inspired by the work of Vilém Mathesius. It is Jan Firbas who is to be credited with the first use of the term Functional Sentence Perspective. He wrote more than 100 papers on the subject and published a comprehensive account of his approach to information structure of language as a monograph in 1992. Firbas\'s most diligent disciple was Aleš Svoboda, with whom he closely collaborated especially in the 1970s and 1980s on the development and refinement of the key concepts in the theory of Functional Sentence Perspective. The most important contribution of Jan Firbas to the study of information structure of language was to highlight the fact that \"word-order is not the only means of FSP\", thus in fact also correcting the view of Vilém Mathesius that \"English is less susceptible to FSP than Czech\" (ibid.). Firbas\'s further investigation of the means of FSP lead him to postulate a systemic view of FSP in which \"context, linear modification, semantics and in the spoken language also intonation act as formative forces or factors\" of FSP.
The work of Jan Firbas, covering not only the FSP theory but also other topics in linguistics, has been re-edited by his followers into five volumes of *Collected Works of Jan Firbas* (`{{ISBN|978-80-210-5127-0}}`{=mediawiki}). As of 25 March 2021, only the first three volumes have been published

# Standard Emergency Warning Signal
The **Standard Emergency Warning Signal** (SEWS) is a warning siren used in Australia to alert the public of danger. The siren is played over radio, television or public address systems in public places to warn of bushfire, flood, cyclone, tsunami, earthquake or terrorist attack.
## Use
The SEWS tone has also been adopted for use in the new Emergency Alert Australia system which sends standard text messages from the phone number 0444 444 444 which has information about a potential emergency, and a phone call to landlines which starts with the SEWS tone with the words \"Emergency! Emergency!\" followed by a message regarding the threat and a phone number and/or website with more information. The National Alert System has been tested by the Country Fire Service in Kangaroo Island, South Australia and has also been tested by other agencies.
## Origins
The SEWS was developed by the Bureau of Meteorology in the 1970s for tropical cyclone warnings. It was adopted as a national emergency warning signal on 21 May 1995

# The Billion-Dollar Molecule
***The Billion-Dollar Molecule*** is a book by journalist Barry Werth about the founding and early research efforts of the American biotechnology company Vertex Pharmaceuticals, which was founded in 1989 by Joshua Boger and was among the first biotechnology companies to adopt an explicit strategy of rational drug design as opposed to techniques based on combinatorial chemistry.
This book is notable as an inside look at a biotechnology company, and the stresses and marketing pressures on funding research into drug design. This book is a mixture of finance and technology.
In February, 2014, Barry Werth published a follow-on book, *The Antidote*, that looks at Vertex 20 years later after his original effort

# García Galíndez
**García Galíndez** (died 833), called **the Bad** (*el Malo*), was the Count of Aragon and Conflent from 820.
The son of Galindo Belascotenes, García had married Matrona, daughter of Aznar Galíndez I, Count of Aragon. However, according to tradition he took offense at a prank played on him by his brothers-in-law, Centule and Galindo, who locked him in a house during the Midsummer. In retaliation, he murdered Centule and repudiated Matrona, allying himself with Íñigo Arista of Pamplona, whose daughter he then married. His role in these events led to his traditional nickname, \'the Bad\'.
In 820, Íñigo gathered a small army and deposed the Frankish vassal Aznar, making García count of Aragon and Conflent. In 824, when Aeblus and Aznar Sánchez marched on Pamplona, García and Musa ibn Fortún of the Banu Qasi probably lent their support to the Basque Íñigo, leading to the defeat of the Frankish counts.
Depending on the source, he either died or retired from government in 833, being succeeded by his son Galindo Garcés

# Sevvostlag
**Sevvostlag** (*Северо-восточные исправительно-трудовые лагеря, Севвостлаг, СВИТЛ*, **North-Eastern Corrective Labor Camps**) was a system of forced labor camps set up to satisfy the workforce requirements of the *Dalstroy* construction trust in the Kolyma region in April 1932. Organizationally being part of *Dalstroy* and under the management of the Labor and Defence Council of Sovnarkom, these camps were formally subordinated to OGPU later the NKVD directorate of the Far Eastern Krai. On March 4, 1938, Sevvostlag was resubordinated to the NKVD GULAG. In 1942 it was resubordinated back to Dalstroy. In 1949 it was renamed to the Directorate of Dalstroy Corrective Labor Camps (Управление исправительно-трудовых лагерей Дальстроя). In 1953, after the death of Joseph Stalin, with the reform of the Soviet penal system, it was again resubordinated to Gulag and later reformed into the Directorate of Far Eastern Corrective Labor Camps Управление Северо-восточных исправительно-трудовых лагерей, УСВИТЛ (USVITL).
The inmates served on all Dalstroy projects, the major ones being gold mining and road construction, including the infamous Kolyma Highway.
## Structure and prisoners {#structure_and_prisoners}
Sevvostlag was the sole administration for the whole system of the forced labor of Dalstroy. The numerous labor camps usually mentioned for Kolyma and Dalstroy were formally referred to as subcamps (\"camp subdivisions\", лагерные подразделения) attached (but not subordinated) to the corresponding production units. Until the 1950s the only exceptions were camps on the periphery of Kolyma, which while servicing Dalstroy, were either detached from or attached to Sevostlag at various times.

# Luther Burden
**Luther Dean \"Ticky\" Burden** (February 28, 1953 -- October 29, 2015) was an American NBA and ABA basketball player.
## High school {#high_school}
Born in Haines City, Florida, Burden attended Albany, New York\'s Philip Schuyler High School, where he was a member of the basketball team.
## College
Burden attended the University of Utah. He played for the United States men\'s national basketball team in the 1974 FIBA World Championship, winning the bronze medal and scoring 20.2 points per game, a Team USA record which was overtaken by Kevin Durant in 2010. In 1975, his junior year, he averaged 28.7 points per game and set the Western Athletic Conference record for field goals in a season with 359.
## Professional basketball {#professional_basketball}
Following his junior season, he was allowed to turn pro as a hardship case. Burden was drafted by the Virginia Squires of the American Basketball Association and the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association. He chose Virginia, but left after one season, during which he had a serious argument with coach Bill Musselman. Upon joining the Knicks, he stated \"In Virginia I saw the bad side of pro basketball, in New York I know I\'ll see the good side\". In the 1976--77 season, Burden got into 61 games for the Knicks in a backup role, averaging 10 minutes and 5.7 points per game. However, in the 77--78 season Knicks coach Willis Reed became frustrated with Burden\'s lack of defensive play, and sent him to the disabled list for the remainder of the season after he played in just two games. Reed unsuccessfully attempted to trade Burden, but ending up placing him on waivers and releasing him following the season.
## Later life {#later_life}
On July 3, 1980, Burden and three other men allegedly robbed a bank in Hempstead, Long Island. Burden was convicted after the three other men struck deals and testified against him, and was given a sentence of six to eighteen years. After serving two years, Burden\'s conviction was overturned when a court ruled that detectives did not possess search or arrest warrants when they raided Burden\'s home. Burden would later plead guilty to receiving stolen money in conjunction with the robbery, but was released after being given credit for time served.
From 2010 onward, Burden was working with the YWCA organization, mentoring and coaching basketball. In 2012, Burden began experiencing medical problems related to ATTR amyloidosis. He died in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on October 29, 2015, after developing a fever following cataract surgery.

# Alexandre Giroux
**Alexandre Giroux** (born June 16, 1981) is a Canadian ice hockey forward currently playing for the Thetford Assurancia of the Quebec-based Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey. He previously played in the National League (NL) with HC Ambrì-Piotta and EHC Kloten. He is the son of former World Hockey Association player Rejean Giroux.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
### Amateur
As a youth, Giroux played in the 1995 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Quebec City.
Giroux joined the QMJHL\'s Hull Olympiques in 1998--99 and went on to play parts of three seasons with the club before joining the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies midway through the 2000--01 season. Over the course of his junior career, Giroux registered 226 points (111 goals and 115 assists) before going on to make his professional debut with the AHL\'s Grand Rapids Griffins in 2001--02.
### Professional
Drafted by the Ottawa Senators in 1999, Giroux failed to crack the NHL roster. He would spend parts of three seasons in the Senators\' system before a 2004 deadline deal sent him and Karel Rachunek to the New York Rangers for Greg de Vries. Giroux would ultimately play only one game with the Rangers, spending the majority of his time with their farm team, the Hartford Wolf Pack. In the summer of 2006, Giroux signed as a free agent with the Washington Capitals. As a member of the Capitals, Giroux would spend the majority of his time with the club\'s AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears and appear in a handful of games with Washington. The following summer, he signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Thrashers. With the Thrashers, Giroux was sent to the club\'s AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. He tallied 19 goals and 41 points in 44 games with the Wolves before he was traded back to the Capitals organization.
On August 5, 2009, it was announced that Giroux had signed a one-year two-way contract to remain with the Hershey Bears. The 2008--09 AHL season was a successful one for Giroux. On January 18, 2009, Giroux broke Brett Hull\'s American Hockey League record for consecutive games scoring a goal, scoring in 15 straight games. On April 10, 2009, Giroux capped off his memorable season by being awarded the Les Cunningham Award as American Hockey League MVP.
On July 3, 2010, he signed a one-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers. Following their preseason run, he was assigned to the Oilers\' AHL affiliates, the Oklahoma City Barons. With a season-ending injury to the Oilers\' Taylor Hall, Giroux was recalled from Oklahoma City, on March 5, 2011. He made his Oilers debut the same night, scoring a goal which helped Edmonton secure a 5--1 victory, over the Colorado Avalanche.
On July 3, 2011, Giroux signed a two-way contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets. During the 2011--12 season, Giroux appeared in 9 games with the Blue Jackets but primarily was assigned to the all familiar AHL with the Springfield Falcons.
On May 24, 2012, Giroux left North America and inked a one-year deal as a free agent with Dinamo Riga of the Kontinental Hockey League. In the 2012--13 season with the Latvian outfit, Giroux failed to produce the desired offensive impact, with 21 points in 47 games, before he was loaned to Swiss club, the Kloten Flyers of the NLA to end the campaign.
In the following season, Giroux remained in Switzerland, signing an initial one-year contract with HC Ambrì-Piotta of the National League A (NLA) on June 28, 2013. During his three-year stint, he saw the ice in 167 NLA contests, tallying 77 goals and 56 assists.
Giroux returned to the KHL upon the conclusion of the 2015-16 season, penning a deal with Medvescak Zagreb in July 2016.
In 11 AHL seasons, Giroux totaled 704 points in 771 games. His 368 goals are seventh-most in league history

## History
Local business owners funded the establishment of the library in 1876. In 1915, it expanded into a Carnegie library, the Wichita City Carnegie Library Building, that would remain open until the establishment of the new Brutalist-style Wichita Central Library. It opened in 1967 to the general public.
On October 16, 2007, the Wichita City Council decided on the preferred site for a new central library at Second Street and McLean. The initial building program resulted in a projected budget exceeding the amount allotted, forcing the library to consider alternatives. In 2011, a study found that expanding the current Central Library facility would be possible, but would be more expensive than building a new facility and would not resolve building access issues. In 2012-13, the library\'s board of directors considered a phased construction approach. The city council authorized a request for qualifications, with a presentation by a preferred design team in the summer of 2014.
In January 2015, Wichita City Council voted in favor of a funding agreement with the library foundation to perform the design phase. The new facility, named the Advanced Learning Library, cost an estimated \$33 million. It is two stories and has 99,930 sqft of interior space; it is designed to withstand storms and act as a storm shelter. Following the closure of the Central Public Library on May 6, 2018 after 50 years of service to the Wichita area, the Advanced Learning Library opened on June 16, 2018.
In December 2014, the Orchard Park branch inside Orchard Park Recreation Center at 4808 West 9th was closed.
The Comotara Branch Library, located inside a Dillon\'s supermarket since 1986, was the first library branch in the United States to open in a grocery store. The branch closed in July 2018 so Dillon\'s could reclaim the space.
## Programs
The library offers a wide range of programs free of charge and open to the public. Annual events include events in celebration of African-American History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month and the Academy Award Shorts (see below).
The library\'s summer reading programs for youth reach more than 10,000 children annually. Annually, the library offers a reading program for adults. Each year since 2008, the library has hosted \"The Big Read Wichita\", a series of programs built around one book title.
The WPL\'s \"Academy Awards Shorts\" program is, reportedly, the oldest annual, complete, free public screening, outside of Hollywood, of the full array of short documentary, live action and animated \"short\" films (under 40 minutes) nominated for an Academy Award (\"Oscar\"). The films are normally presented, free, at the library and in local theaters and other venues around Wichita, shortly before the Academy Awards ceremonies.

# Edward Savage (artist)
`{{Use American English|date=May 2024}}`{=mediawiki}
**Edward Savage** (November 26, 1761 -- July 6, 1817) was an American portrait painter and engraver.
## Life and career {#life_and_career}
He was born in Princeton, Massachusetts, and at first worked as a goldsmith, also practicing engraving. Although seemingly untrained in painting, he came into prominence in 1790 through his portrait of George Washington, intended as a gift to Harvard University. In 1791 he visited London, where he studied for a time under Benjamin West, and then went to Italy. Upon his return to the United States in 1794, he practiced in Philadelphia and New York City, maintaining for several years a picture gallery and art museum on Water Street in New York.
Robert Edge Pine began the first representation of *Congress Voting Independence* (Historical Society of Pennsylvania Collection, Atwater Kent Museum, Philadelphia) in 1784, but it was unfinished at his death. Savage completed the painting in 1801, and mass-produced the image as a mezzotint. Its portraits of Anthony Wayne, Benjamin Rush, and Thomas Jefferson are highly esteemed. Savage is principally known, however, for a large portrait group, *The Washington Family* (begun 1789, completed 1796), portraying President George Washington, First Lady Martha Washington, two of her grandchildren, George Washington Parke Custis and Eleanor Parke Custis, and an enslaved servant, probably Christopher Sheels. The painting was in the collection formed by William F. Havemeyer, New York, until bought by Andrew Mellon and donated to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. He died in Princeton.

# Confrontation at Concordia
***Confrontation at Concordia*** is a documentary film by Martin Himel which documents the 2002 Concordia University Netanyahu riot at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The film chronicles how pro-Palestinian student activists staged a direct action aimed to cancel the former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\'s address on campus. The talk by the prime minister had been organized by Hillel, a Jewish student organization.
The documentary portrays the events that took place in a negative light, and reportedly contributed to the ensuing media debate over them. The Concordia Student Union (CSU) responded by taking legal action against its producer.
## Synopsis
The documentary opens with scenes of the violence at the event, depicting fighting between protesters and Jewish students attempting to enter the venue. This is followed by an interview with student Samir Elatrash, a leader of the Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights and the leader of anti-Israel violence who was later suspended. It also features interviews with Concordia\'s Hillel president Yoni Petel and Concordia rector Frederick Lowy, and concludes with a discussion of what it sees as the growing trend of anti-Israel activities on North American campuses.
The documentary presents footage of pro-Palestinian activists breaking windows and pushing and shoving to block the only entry to the lecture hall. The pro-Palestinian students had objected strongly to Netanyahu\'s attempt to give scheduled speech.
In a segment of the film Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the conduct of Concordia students:
> \... what you have is an implantation in North America of this same unforgiving fanaticism that says \"we will not allow the engagement of a contest of ideas, we will not allow a free market of ideas,\" which is precisely a microcosm of the problem that we have in these societies that spawn and produce terrorism. They rigidly control what their people hear and see so that they can control what they think and feel. And this is the essence of the problem. If the real solution to this fanaticism is ventilation, the aeration of various ideas, then you got a whiff of the underlying root cause of terrorism in Concordia. That is the unwillingness to have a free exchange of ideas. The root cause of terrorism is totalitarianism.
In the film, Thomas Hecht, a former member of the Board of Governors of Concordia University and a Holocaust survivor, states:
In response to allegations of antisemitism, Elitrosh, leader of the Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights, averred that one can be anti-Israel without being antisemitic. He stated that \"Judaism existed before the state of Israel.\"
## Controversy
The film set off a series of debates regarding student politics and whether anti-Israeli/pro-Palestinian political rallies on campuses were anti-Semitic.
### Criticism
Antonia Zebisias, media critic of the *Toronto Star* criticized the documentary for making hyperbolic comparisons between the riot and Kristallnacht, for giving the president of Hillel more air time than was given to the Palestinian side, and for not supporting many of its contentions with facts. It also noted the potential conflict of interests due to the fact that the film was aired on Global TV which is owned by CanWest, the media outlet which in part helped organize the invitation of Netanyahu to speak.
After the documentary was broadcast on *Global Television*, Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) received a number of complaints relating to the program. The complaints were considered under the provisions of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters\' (CAB) Code of Ethics and the Radio and Television News Directors Association of Canada (RTNDA) Code of (Journalistic) Ethics. The CBSC concluded that none of the provisions of the either the CAB Code of Ethics or the RTNDA Code of (Journalistic) Ethics were breached.
### Support
Himel has defended the film, arguing that \"In my Concordia, we did interview the Arab student, as well as the Jewish student leader Patrick Amar. But Discordia, besides interviewing Elatrash, interviewed a self-hating Jew who agreed with the Arabs. There was no interview with Amar or any other self-respecting Jewish spokesperson.\"
## Awards
*Confrontation at Concordia* was selected as the best international documentary at the 2003 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival

# SV Stern Britz 1889
**SV Stern Britz 1889** is a German football club from Britz, which is part of the city district of Neukölln in southcentral Berlin. Predecessor *BFC Stern* was one of the founding clubs of the German Football Association in 1900.
## History
### Berliner Fußball-Club Stern vom Jahre 1889 {#berliner_fußball_club_stern_vom_jahre_1889}
Predecessor side *Stern* was established in early 1889 as *Berliner Fußball-Club Marbert* and was renamed on 3 May 1889 to *Berliner FC Stern 89*. The club played a single season in the top-flight Oberliga Berlin in 1906--07 and was relegated after an 8th-place result. They took part in the Berliner Pokal (Berlin Cup) in 1926 and advanced to the quarterfinals where they were put out by *BFC Vorwärts 90 Berlin* (2:3). *Stern* remained a lower circuit team through to the end of World War II. Their achievements were modest with their highest advance being to the Bezirksliga Berlin in 1939.
Following the conflict, occupying Allied authorities banned organizations throughout the country, including sports and football clubs, as part of the process of de-Nazification. *Stern* re-emerged on 8 July 1950 as *1. FC Neukölln Stern*. They earned promotion to the Amateurliga Berlin (III) in 1953 with their best result coming the following season when they finished in third place. *Neukölln* were relegated after the 1957--58 season after crashing to 15th place and disappeared into lower division competition.
### SV Stern Britz 1889 {#sv_stern_britz_1889}
*Stern* merged with *Spielvereinigung Britz Süd 1949* on 15 June 1973 making the transition from a football club to a more broadly based sports club called *Sportverein Stern Britz 1889* that also included departments for dance, darts, and swimming. Today the association offers its members aerobics, cheerleading, dance, and American football while still fielding its traditional football side. Much of the football department\'s focus has turned to its youth teams.
The American football team was founded as an independent club known as the *Berlin Thunderbirds* in 1992 and joined *SV* the following year. By 2002 it had grown into Berlin\'s largest American football team with close to 300 members

# Australian Army Intelligence Corps
The **Australian Intelligence Corps** (AUSTINT) is a corps within the Australian Army. It was formed on 6 December 1907 and provides intelligence personnel in every formation headquarters in the Army. `{{As of|2007}}`{=mediawiki}, the corps consisted of \"169 officers and 232 other ranks\".
## Role
The role of the Australian Intelligence Corps is to provide intelligence support, consisting of knowledge of the enemy and the area of operations. Its role also includes active and passive measures undertaken to prevent the enemy from acquiring intelligence about friendly forces and their intentions.
## History
The corps was formed on 6 December 1907 with the aim of providing training for soldiers in intelligence work, including collecting and recording topographic and military information about Australia, its dependencies and foreign countries (especially those of the Pacific region), as well as preparing strategic and tactical maps and plans. The first Director of Military Intelligence was Lieutenant Colonel James Whiteside McCay.
The corps was disbanded on 30 September 1914 and replaced by Intelligence Sections of the General Staff in each Australian military district. It was re-formed in 1939 and was tasked with the following: intelligence; security; passport control; rail, air and shipping security; censorship; and prisoner of war interrogation and data compilation. The corps has been formally allied with the British Army Intelligence Corps since 1950.
## Corps Embellishments {#corps_embellishments}
The AUSTINT colours are green on scarlet on black. Green symbolises the Corps\' alliance with the British Army Intelligence Corps, black for the Corps\' links with the Australian Staff Corps and scarlet, signifying the Corps combat support role.
The AUSTINT badge was modelled on the British Army Intelligence Corps badge and accepted in 1953. It has the motif of a white and red Tudor rose which is flanked by laurel leaves and rests on a scroll inscribed with \"Australian Intelligence Corps\". A crown surmounts the whole motif. The Rose symbolises security, confidentiality and trustworthiness, derived from the Cromwellian use of a rose displayed to indicate when secret matters were being discussed. The laurel wreath depicts honour and the crown represents allegiance to the Sovereign.
## Training
Members of the Intelligence Corps work in the following areas:
- Intelligence analysis;
- Combat intelligence;
- Security intelligence;
- Language translation and interpretation;
- Electronic warfare;
- Human intelligence;
- Counter intelligence;
- Imagery intelligence;
- Geospatial intelligence;
- Multi-Media; and
- Psychological operations.
Recruits can now join AUSTINT through direct entry. Soldiers accepted into the Intelligence Corps attend 11 weeks employment training, consisting of a three-week introduction course and an eight-week land intelligence course. Both courses are conducted at the Defence Intelligence Training Centre in Canungra, Queensland. Training for Intelligence Corps soldiers is broken into two main streams, text and diagram. Officers are able to enter the Intelligence Corps after completing their officer course at the Royal Military College, Duntroon. However they must undergo a rigorous selection process before being employed in the Corps.
Intelligence Corps staff work with the Defence Intelligence Organisation, Defence Signals Directorate and Defence Security Authority. There are also intelligence officers and staff on most of the major Army commands and headquarters providing operational or counter intelligence support

# Indian members of the Legislative Council of Fiji
The number of Fiji Indians that could be elected to the Legislative Council was fixed over the years as follows:
- 1916 - 1929 - one nominated member.
- 1929 - 1937 - three elected members.
- 1937 - 1963 - three elected and two nominated members.
- 1963 - 1966 - four elected and two nominated.
- 1966 - 1972 - nine elected from communal constituencies and three from cross-voting constituencies.
## List of Indian members {#list_of_indian_members}
- **Badri Maharaj** (1916--1923, 1926--1929) was the first Indian member of the Legislative Council in Fiji. He was nominated by the Governor in 1916 and was not very popular with Fiji Indians who wanted Manilal Doctor to be their representative. Maharaj resigned in 1923 in opposition to a proposed poll tax, but was re-nominated in 1926. He remained a member until 1929 when Indians were elected for the first time.
- **Vishnu Deo** (1929, 1937--1959) was first elected in 1929. He sat in the Council for only 2 weeks before walking out in protest at his proposal for common roll not being accepted. He was ineligible to contest the 1932 election, having been convicted for publishing inappropriate material. He re-entered the Council in 1937 and remained a member, representing the Southern Constituency, until 1959 when he retired due to ill-health. He was elected to the Executive Council in 1956.
- **James Ramchandar Rao** (1929) was one of the three Fiji Indians elected to the Legislative Council of Fiji in October 1929 when Indians in Fiji were given the first opportunity to elect their own representatives. He won the seat for the Eastern Constituency, defeating his opponent Sahim Khalil by 63 votes to 20. Two weeks after being sworn in he, together with the other two Fiji Indian representatives, resigned when a motion asking for equal political rights for Fiji Indians was defeated.
- **Parmanand Singh** (1929) was one of the three Fiji Indians elected to the Legislative Council of Fiji in October 1929 when Indians in Fiji were given the first opportunity to elect their own representatives. He won the seat for the North Western Constituency after defeating his opponent Dr. C. M. Gopalan. Two weeks after being sworn in he, together with the other two Fiji Indian representatives, resigned when a motion asking for equal political rights for Fiji Indians was defeated.
- **K. B. Singh** (1932--1947) First elected in 1932, with the support of Vishnu Deo to oppose a rebel Indian candidate. He resigned his seat soon under pressure from Vishnu Deo but was subsequently re-elected with an increased majority. He then split with Vishnu Deo and remained in Council until 1937 representing the Southern Constituency. After the 1937 he was chosen as a council member nominated by the Governor, and remained in Council until 1947. In 1946 he was appointed to the Executive Council.
- **Muniswamy Mudaliar** (1932--1937) He was elected to the Council in 1932 from the North Western Constituency, with the support of Vishnu Deo to provide a seconder to the common roll motion. He refused to resign after the motion was defeated and remained in the Council until the next election in 1937.
- **J. B. Tularam** (1937--1944) was elected from the Eastern Constituency in 1937.
- **Chattur Singh** (1937--1940) caused a major sensation in Fiji Indian politics when he defeated the favoured A.D. Patel for the North Western seat by 671 votes to 651 in the 1937 election.

# John Street (Hamilton, Ontario)
**John Street** is a Lower City arterial road in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Originally it was known as *Mountain Road* or *Ancaster Road*. It starts off at the base of Arkledun Avenue, a Mountain-access road in the city, just east of *St. Joseph\'s Hospital*, where it is a one-way street going north and tunnels underneath the *Hunter Street Railway bridge* and continues onward to the city\'s *North End* at the waterfront, where it ends at *Guise Street East,* the site of *Pier 9.*
## History
Talk of creating a townsite at what is now the intersection of *John* and *Main streets* arose as early as 1809, but the war delayed the scheme until 1816 when George Hamilton and Nathaniel Hughson successfully promoted Hamilton as the judicial centre for the counties of Halton and Wentworth (the Gore District). When the Town of Hamilton was incorporated in 1833, one of the first orders of business was to find a suitable place for the town board to meet. For the first few years they made do with meeting in local taverns such as *Thomas Wilson\'s Inn* on the corner of *John* and Jackson Streets.
*John Street* is also one of the original native pathways in the area. In 1837, the police commission officially named it *John Street* - a name originally chosen by George Hamilton (City founder), apparently in honour of a family of early settlers.
The John A. Macdonald Statue at Gore Park arrived in Hamilton from London, England on 30 October 1893. Official dedication of the statue took place 1 November 1893. Originally, the statue was located at the intersection of King and Hughson Streets and pointed West. Prime Minister Sir John Thompson was in attendance. *Alexander Aitchison*, a local Hamilton Fire Chief, died of injuries he sustained from crashing into the base of the statue with his horse and buggy and because of it, the statue was then relocated to *Gore Park* near *King* and *John Streets* only this time the statue instead of pointing West, now points East.
Ronnie Hawkins came to Canada in 1958. His first gig was at the *Golden Rail* in Hamilton near the corner of *King* and *John Streets* where he became an overnight success. It was a result of Hawkins success in Hamilton that he decided to move to Canada permanently. His career spans over five decades and 25 records. His hits include, \"Forty Days\", \"Mary Lou\", and \"Hey Bo Diddley\".

# Stratton Park
**Stratton Park**, in East Stratton, Hampshire, was an English country house, built on the site of a grange of Hyde Abbey after the dissolution of the monasteries; it was purchased with the manor of Micheldever in 1546 by Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton. The last earl of Southampton made Stratton Park one of his chief seats, and his son-in-law, Sir William Russell, pulled down part of the hamlet and added it to his deer park in the 1660s. The Russell heirs eventually sold the estate in 1801 to Sir Francis Baring, Bt, of the Baring banking family. Baring remodeled the manor house in a neoclassical style, to designs by George Dance the Younger, 1803--06,\' including an imposing stone Doric-columned portico and stuccoed brick main block and wings. The pleasure grounds and landscape park were laid out and planted, starting ca 1803 by Humphry Repton, and described by William Cobbett, in *Rural Rides: in the counties of Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hants*, when Stratton Park held the living of Micheldever and included Micheldever Wood, which Cobbett said \"contains a thousand acres \[4 km^2^\], and which is one of the finest oak-woods in England.\" In the late nineteenth century Thomas Baring, 1st Earl of Northbrook laid out more formally structured gardens, with hardy plantings by Gertrude Jekyll. The park has been Grade II registered since 1984.
Most of the Stratton Park house was demolished in 1963 by owner John Baring, 7th Baron Ashburton, whose involvement in the demolition of the Baring family\'s architecturally important banking headquarters in London had earned him the nickname \"Basher Baring\". Today, all that remains is Dance\'s stone portico, looming up near, but in no stable relation with, a modernist house by Stephen Gardiner and Christopher Knight, 1963-65. The portico is now a listed structure since 1983. Mature specimen trees from the landscape park tower above the present structure

# Jurien Bay, Western Australia
**Jurien Bay** is a coastal town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 220 km north of Perth facing the Indian Ocean.
## History
The coastline around Jurien Bay was first known to Europeans in the 17th century. In 1801--03, an expedition under the command of Nicolas Baudin sailed along the Western Australian coast. Louis de Freycinet, a cartographic surveyor on the expedition, named Jurien Bay after Charles Marie Jurien (1763--1836) of the French naval administration. The area was visited by a number of English explorers from 1822 onwards. The bay was first surveyed by Captain James Harding, the harbourmaster of Fremantle, in 1865, with a more extensive survey made by Staff Commander W. E. Archdeacon R.N. in 1875.
The first settlement was established in the mid-1850s by Walter Padbury. A jetty was constructed in 1885--87 due to the success of pastoralism. In the early 1900s, a temporary fishing village was built around the Jurien jetty and the coastal waters were used for catching dhufish, snapper and groper. Permanent residences were only built in the 1950s; however the buildings were only corrugated iron shanties instead of properly-built dwellings. Initially the settlement struggled to grow due to a poor and unreliable water supply and the isolation of the area at that time.
The townsite was surveyed and was gazetted as Jurien Bay on 21 December 1956; it was renamed Jurien in 1959, but reverted to its original name in 1999. Crayfish (also known as Western Rock Lobster) are abundant in the area, and the town\'s development soon became influenced by the crayfish industry. New jetties, factories and an airstrip were constructed so that crayfish goods could be flown south to Perth. Crayfishing has now become a multimillion-dollar industry, sending goods regularly to Japan and the United States.
The Jurien Bay \"Blessing of the Fleet\" festival commenced in the mid-1990s to commemorate the start of the crayfishing season in November each year. Following the opening of Indian Ocean Drive (the coastal route linking Perth) in 2010, the event was re-badged as the Indian Ocean Festival.
Today, the town is experiencing a house building boom, as its population and popularity as a holiday destination grow. The principal employers in the town are housing and building construction, retail, tourism, and crayfishing. Local residents claim that the town\'s population more than doubles during the holiday season. The completion of Indian Ocean Drive, has afforded faster access to the Perth Metropolitan area as well as the neighbouring towns of Leeman, Cervantes and Green Head. The town has many facilities including a community resource centre, supermarket, police station, family resource and child daycare centre, skatepark and sporting facilities, recreational jetty, restaurants, small boat harbour and marina, sealed and lit airstrip and a medical centre; it also has a district high school, and is visited twice a week by a bus service from Perth operated by Integrity Coach Lines.
In 2016 the Turquoise Way trail (shared use path) was extended southwards from the town to the Hill River so as to create a recreational cycling and walk/run course of 14.2 km.
Jurien Bay is the seat of government for the Shire of Dandaragan and is the largest community in that shire.
## Geography
Jurien Bay lies on Indian Ocean Drive, a new coastal route completed in 2010, on this route Jurien Bay is 220 km north of Perth and 195 km south of Geraldton. The town of Jurien Bay is surrounded by many national parks and reserves. Just east of Jurien Bay is the biodiversity hotspot that is the Lesueur National Park. The town lies adjacent to the Jurien Bay Marine Park. Jurien Bay has an airport.
### Climate
Jurien Bay experiences a warm Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification *Csa*).

# PDQ Food Stores
**PDQ Food Stores** was a chain of convenience stores located in the Wisconsin areas of Milwaukee and Madison, and one California store in Tahoma.
The chain began as Tri Dairy Store in 1948 in Middleton, Wisconsin, opened by Sam Jacobsen. Originally the store carried only dairy products, but Jacobsen added other grocery products as time went on, and business improved. The second store didn\'t come along until 1962; the name PDQ, an acronym for \"pretty darn quick\" or \"pretty damn quick\", was a popular catch phrase in the post-World War II era, and the name was suggested by Jacobsen\'s wife Mary. The original store soon adopted the name as well.
As of January 2016, PDQ Food Stores numbered 34 locations. Most sold gasoline, as is common with modern convenience stores. On May 1, 2009, PDQ Food Stores was sold to the employees and was 100% employee owned.
On July 19, 2017, Kwik Trip Stores signed an agreement to acquire the assets of PDQ Food Stores. The acquisition was completed on October 9, 2017, and Kwik Trip remodeled and re-imaged the existing PDQ locations over the following weeks

## Publication history {#publication_history}
Created by Steve Gerber and Sal Buscema, she first appeared in *The Defenders* \# 35 (May 1976).
## Fictional character biography {#fictional_character_biography}
Tania Belinsky was born in Leningrad, in the former Soviet Union. Tania became a young neurosurgeon, though after her dissident father Andrei had been sent to Siberia, she adopted a costume and persona similar to the original Red Guardian\'s, and fought crime and protected dissidents in an attempt to reform Soviet society. She left the USSR at the request of Doctor Strange to perform a brain transplant. She decided to stay in America and join the Defenders as an adventurer. She battled a Plant Man simulacrum alongside Doctor Strange. She was teleported to another dimension alongside Power Man and Doctor Strange, where she battled the original Eel and Porcupine. She also battled an unnamed masked Soviet. She teamed with Valkyrie and Hellcat to battle Doctor Strange as the Red Rajah and Nighthawk, Hulk, and Power Man.
Dr. Belinsky was brought to the lab complex of Sergei Krylov, alias the \"Presence\", a scientific genius who had become one of the most influential men behind the scenes of the Soviet government. Sergei mentally dominated Tania, and used a Chernobyl-like nuclear disaster to transform Tania into his super-powered thrall with nuclear powers. She battled the Defenders alongside the Presence, and then separated from him. She was later assigned to investigate the Presence\'s reappearance, and after battling a giant amoeba, she reunited with the Presence. Alongside the Presence, she encountered the Hulk, Darkstar, Crimson Dynamo, Vanguard, Ursa Major, and Professor Phobos. She and the Presence left Earth since their radiation levels were too dangerous for them to remain. Tania and Sergei were eventually revealed to be laboratory subjects on one of the Stranger\'s laboratory worlds. After regaining their freedom, Tania took the name **Starlight**, and returned to Earth with the Presence and Jack of Hearts. She battled Quasar and the Fantastic Four, and aided the Presence in his attempt to kill Eon, though she ultimately admitted only doing so because the Presence (the only person who could safely remain around her due to him making her radioactive) threatened to abandon her if she did not serve as his henchwoman and lover. She was later seen battling Darkstar and the Black Widow.
Tania was then seen in the company of the Presence as his cosmic companion during his attempts to conquer Russia by mutating its citizens and armies into radioactive zombie-like beings. This included some of the Avengers, who fell under his power. He was defeated by Thor and Firebird, who proved immune to the transformations and Tania offered to restore all those who had been transformed to normal.`{{Volume needed|c=y|date=May 2013}}`{=mediawiki}
Later Tania and the Presence aided the Avengers in battling Kang. The Presence was planning to capitalize on the chaos Kang had sown on Earth by attempting to conquer Russia again once he was defeated, but Tania refused to allow it and this time, it was Tania who threatened to desert him if he did so.`{{Volume needed|c=y|date=May 2013}}`{=mediawiki}
At some point, after the Kang War, Starlight was able to reduce her radioactivity enough to reintegrate within society without fear of causing death to those around her. She later joins up with other Russian heroes to form the Protectorate, serving Immortus as palace guards against the Dire Wraiths. During this time, she falls in love with her teammate Vanguard. When the team manages to banish the Dire Wraith queen back to Limbo, Tania is sucked along with her.
## Powers and abilities {#powers_and_abilities}
As a result of mutation from cobalt radiation, Tania has superhuman strength, stamina, and durability. She can generate nuclear energy for flight at supersonic speeds, and to project radiation blasts. Starlight gives off low levels of nuclear radiation at all times, putting normal human beings who associate with her for any length of time at risk.
Tania has a gifted intellect, and is skilled at neurosurgery and medicine, with a PhD in medicine. She also has extensive experience in hand-to-hand combat and is a highly skilled athlete

# Orestes López
**Orestes López Valdés** (August 28, 1908 -- January 26, 1991), nicknamed **Macho**, was a Cuban multi-instrumentalist, composer and bandleader. As a double bassist he was a founding member of the Havana Philharmonic Orchestra, and later a member of the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba. A long-time member of the charanga Arcaño y sus Maravillas, where he played cello and piano, he is considered the co-creator of the mambo, together with his brother Israel \"Cachao\" López, and one of the most prolific danzón composers of the 20th century.
## Biography
### Early life and career {#early_life_and_career}
Orestes López was born in Old Havana on August 28, 1908, into a family of musicians. As a pre-teenager he studied piano, cello, violin and the five-key ebony flute. In 1924, at age 15, he became double bassist for the newly founded Havana Philharmonic Orchestra directed by Pedro Sanjuán. A few years later, he was playing bass for Miguel \"El Moro\" Vázquez\'s charanga. According to his brother Cachao, in 1926 he was a member of Grupo Apolo, the first septeto to include a trumpet.
### Arcaño y sus Maravillas {#arcaño_y_sus_maravillas}
In the 1930s he was the musical director of three dance orchestras: López-Barroso, Orquesta de Orestes López and La Unión, before joining Antonio Arcaño y sus Maravillas in 1937 as a founding member. López, a multi-instrumentalist, composed and orchestrated danzones, most notably \"Camina Juan Pescao\", \"El truco de Regatillo\", \"Los tres bailadores\" and \"Mambo\", which launched a new style of danzón, the so-called danzón-mambo. Subsequently, the syncopated bass in the tune gave rise on the one hand to the dance genre known as mambo popularized by Pérez Prado, and on the other hand to the cha-cha-chá, created by Enrique Jorrín.
In the late 1930s, the danzón had three movements: the introduction, el paseo (the walk in a circle), and la comparsa (the main theme, in which dancers faced each other and danced). López\'s danzón-mambo, also called *danzón de nuevo ritmo*, changed the third movement when he substituted a montuno (based on the syncopated beat of the son-playing *treseros* from Oriente). López\'s montuno of two to four beats took on a special syncopated character and was given the generic name of mambo.
Although the Maravillas disbanded in 1958, López remained active in the popular music scene, playing piano in several of Cachao\'s descarga albums recorded between 1957 and 1960, including the successful *Cuban Jam Sessions in Miniature*.
### Later years and death {#later_years_and_death}
His younger brother Cachao emigrated to Spain in 1961 and then to the US in 1963, and achieved considerable success, but Orestes remained in Cuba. He died in Havana on January 26, 1991. In 2000, Orestes was posthumously inducted into the International Latin Music Hall of Fame, joining his brother, who had been inducted a year earlier. Orestes was survived by his son, Orlando \"Cachaíto\" López (1933--2009) who was also a double bassist. Cachaito gained fame as the ever-present performer for the Buena Vista Social Club.
## Compositions
Many of his compositions were named after the clubs where Arcaño y sus Maravillas would play their daily shows. He and his brother would continuously compose new tunes for every concert

# Leptocyon
The genus ***Leptocyon*** (Greek: *leptos* slender + *cyon* dog) includes 11 species and was the first canine. They were small and weighed around 2 kg. They first appeared in North America around 34 million years ago in the Oligocene, at the same time as the Borophaginae, with whom they share features, indicating that these were two sister groups. Borophaginae skull and dentition were designed for a powerful killing bite compared with the Leptocyon which were designed for snatching small, fast-moving prey. The species *L. delicatus* is the smallest canid to have existed. At the close of their genus 9 million years ago one *Leptocyon* lineage resembled the modern fox. *Leptocyon* were small-bodied, fox-like animals with a long, narrow jaw and delicate teeth. They were probably omnivorous, feeding on small animals and fruit in a diet that remained relatively unchanged during the Miocene

# John H. Howell
**John H. Howell** was a US Army artillery officer and commander of the 3rd New York Artillery which he led during the American Civil War, and served as chief artillery officer during the New York Draft Riots. He was born on August 24, 1887, in Wetzel County, West Virginia, USA.
## Early military career {#early_military_career}
Enlisting as an orderly sergeant, Howell served under Capt. Thomas H. Bates while stationed at an army battery in Utica, New York before his promotion to First Lieutenant. Wounded at the Battle of Fair Oaks, he returned home and later received an appointment as Captain of the 3rd Artillery and a staff officer under Gen. Henry Morris Naglee, later accompanying him to South Carolina.
## New York Draft Riots {#new_york_draft_riots}
During the New York Draft Riots, he along with Captain Thaddeus P. Mott and General Charles C. Dodge of the 8th Regiment Artillery, were dispatched amid reports of an estimated 5,000 rioters being assembled near Eighth Avenue and 32nd Street. Although initially driving the mob back, the rioters armed with stones, brickbats and slung-shot counterattacked when Mott attempted to cut down three nearby African-Americans who had been hung nearby. Although ordered by Mott to bring two howitzers on the corner of 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue in order to sweep the streets with grape and canister, Howell was unable to make his way pass the large crowd and both the regiments infantry and cavalry were ordered to clear the way. With bayonets and sabres, the regiment charged toward the rioters causing the mob to split into two groups and driven back. Approaching the crowd alone, he ordered them to disperse threatening to fire upon them. However, while the rioters refused to disperse, they neither made any movement against the regiment causing the officers to hesitated in giving the order to fire. The rioters, believing the officers would not fire, charged moments later throwing stones and debris at the soldiers. After it was seen by the officers that the rioter\'s intentions were to seize the regiments guns, the order was given to fire against the charging crowd. Although many rioters were badly injured or killed in the first bombardment, the rioters in the rear continued fighting until another five of six rounds had been fired. Fleeing down various side streets, the regiment split into separate columns and chased after the retreating mob arresting many of the rioters before returning to their Mulberry Street headquarters. Two days following the attack, Howell rode his carriage to the area when he was attacked by seven or eight men who had recognized his uniform. Calling around to others nearby, soon a group of nearly fifty were shouting for Howell to be hanged. As the crowd began after the driver to stop the carriage, Howell drew his revolver and forced the driver to turn down 31st Street and had the driver use his lash to whip the horses into a full run. As the crowd followed after them, Howell\'s carriage was assaulted by a shower of stones and brick-bats breaking in many of the carriage\'s panels. At one point, the carriage was surrounded and one man managed to climb onto the carriage from behind, before he fell off and was run over. Although avoiding serious injury, Howell suffered temporary paralysis of his arm when a stone struck an old wound he had previously suffered. he finally managed to escape after firing his revolver at the crowd from the back window.
## Later years {#later_years}
Howell later assumed command the 3rd Battery and remained at Newbern, North Carolina until late 1863 when it moved to Norfolk and then took part in the Carratuck campaign, being stationed at Great Bridge. The battery was eventually organized with the Army of the James, and was in the advance during all its movements before being The Battery was re-organized as a veteran organization on January 1, 1864

# Jacques Forestier
**Jacques Forestier** (27 July 1890, Aix-les-Bains -- 17 March 1978) was a French internist who was a pioneer in the field of rheumatology.
Forestier studied medicine in Paris, later working at Hôpital Cochin, where he became interested in rheumatology and its treatment. In 1928 he took part in the founding of the French society of rheumatology. His father, Henri Forestier, was a director at the therapeutic spas in Aix-les-Bains.
Forestier is remembered for his introduction of gold salts as a remedy for rheumatoid arthritis. Historically, injectable gold salts such as gold sodium thiomalate and aurothioglucose were considered by many to be the most effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis prior to the advent of targeted therapeutics. Forestier is also known for his work with polymyalgia rheumatica and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis.
With his instructor, Jean-Athanase Sicard (1872--1929), he demonstrated the use of Lipiodol for spinal X-ray examinations.
## Olympics
Forestier competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics as rugby union player for France. As a member of the French team, he won the silver medal.
## Associated eponyms {#associated_eponyms}

# Bristol Tramp
The **Bristol Tramp** was a British steam-powered passenger and airmail transport aircraft designed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company. It was built but never flew.
## Development
The Tramp was a development of Bristol\'s earlier Pullman passenger aircraft. In 1919, Frank Barnwell entered discussions with the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company about the feasibility of using flying boats as auxiliaries to ocean liners. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company had very limited experience with internal combustion engines, but long-term and deep knowledge of steam turbine powerplants, and so suggested the use of a steam turbine to power the aircraft. As Bristol\'s heavy bomber, the Braemar -- the progenitor of the Pullman -- had originally been designed to have a central engine room with driveshafts to wing-mounted propellers, the Pullman seemed a suitable candidate as a testbed for the installation of a steam turbine engine room.
The powerplant was to consist of two 1,500 hp (1,120 kW) steam turbines of the Ljungstrøm type, with closed-circuit high-pressure flash boilers. The unprecedented 3,000 hp (2,240 kW) would be delivered though driveshafts and clutches to four-bladed tractor propellers mounted on each middle wing (the Braemar/Pullman/Tramp family were triplanes). In the end, the only problem encountered with the steam turbine itself was that it delivered far too much power for the Tramp airframe, which had been designed to handle the 1,600 hp (1,190 kW) of four 400 hp (300 kW) Liberty L-12 engines. The main problem turned out to be designing a reliable lightweight closed-circuit boiler and condenser.
Two examples of the Tramp were completed in 1921, powered by four 230 hp (170 kW) Siddeley Puma piston engines, but the power transmission system, particularly the clutches, gave continual trouble, and neither ever flew. They were moved to Farnborough in 1922 where they were used as ground test rigs for several years.
The **Tramp Boat** was a proposed flying boat development of the Tramp.
## Variants
Type 37 Tramp
: Experimental steam-powered triplanes, originally described as *spares carriers* with four 230 hp Siddeley Puma engines in a central engine room. Two built but never flown.

# We Walked in Song
***We Walked in Song*** is the eighth studio album by the Innocence Mission. It was released in North America on March 13, 2007 by Badman Recording Co., with a vinyl edition containing the bonus track \"Shooting Star (Sketch)\" following a week later on March 20. All international versions of the album include the bonus track.
A European release containing three bonus tracks was commissioned later that year by French record label Fargo. One of these exclusive recordings, \"Song from Holland,\" was a new song recorded after the album sessions and was sold as a one-track digital single by retailers such as iTunes and Amazon; while the other, \"Do You See My Brothers Coming?,\" dates back to recording sessions from 2001.
## Cover art {#cover_art}
The album was released with two different cover designs, both created by Karen Peris. The CD artwork features a young girl standing between two trees with vividly colored leaves. Karen stated on their website that the artwork was inspired by an image she had seen in Leo Lionni\'s picture book \'Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse.\' Unable to figure out how Mr. Lionni painted such transparent pieces while also retaining vivid color schemes, Karen opted to paint the circles on mylar to create a similar effect. In the same post, she also mentioned that the young girl on the CD cover was unknown to her. She cut the image out of an old French-language text book she had found at a library book sale. The name of the photographer or identity of the young girl was not stated and she \"had to hope that \[they\] would not mind my using the lovely photo.\"
The vinyl edition contained expansive artwork featuring a group of people painted using the same mylar technique used to create the leaves on the CD artwork. Since the people are placed onto the surface of the cover with a removable sticky-adhesive, the individual people could be removed from the cover and placed back onto the sleeve in any order. This feature is only found on North American editions of the vinyl, since internationally printed editions of the vinyl were made with standard glue.

## Biography
Charles Henry Hart was born on February 4, 1847, in Philadelphia. He received a classical and scientific education, and studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1868 and graduated at the University of Pennsylvania the next spring. In 1894, he received severe injuries in a train accident.

From 1882 to 1902, he was director of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; and in 1893, was chairman of the committee on retrospective American art at the World\'s Columbian Exposition.
His specialty in art was historical portraiture, in particular the work of Gilbert Stuart. He actively publicized works he believed to be mislabeled, in particular being concerned to prevent the purchase of such works by misled buyers.
In 1915, Hart moved to New York City. He died on July 29, 1918, in New York City.

# Acis and Galatea
`{{Greek deities (water)}}`{=mediawiki}
**Acis and Galatea** (`{{IPAc-en|'|eɪ|s|ɪ|s}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{IPAc-en|g|æ|l|ə|'|t||iː|.|ə}}`{=mediawiki}) are characters from Greek mythology later associated together in Ovid\'s *Metamorphoses*. The episode tells of the love between the mortal Acis and the Nereid (sea-nymph) Galatea; when the jealous Cyclops Polyphemus kills Acis, Galatea transforms her lover into an immortal river spirit. The episode was made the subject of poems, operas, paintings, and statues in the Renaissance and after.
## Mythology
Galathea or Galatea (*lit=she who is milk-white*), the \"glorious\" and \"comely\" daughter of the \"Old Man of the Sea\" Nereus and the Oceanid Doris, was a sea-nymph anciently attested in the work of both Homer and Hesiod, where she is described as the fairest and most beloved of the 50 Nereids. According to Theocritus (*Idylls* 6 and 11), she aroused the love of a most improbable suitor, the Sicilian Cyclops Polyphemus. Her name is also mentioned several times by Virgil.
In Ovid\'s *Metamorphoses,* Galatea appears as the beloved of Acis, the son of Faunus and the river-nymph Symaethis, daughter of the River Symaethus. One day, when Galatea was lying beside the sea with her lover, Polyphemus saw them. The latter, in his jealousy, tore an enormous boulder out of the side of Mt. Etna and hurled it at Acis, crushing him to death. Galatea then turned his blood into sparkling waters as it trickled from under the rock, so creating the stream on Etna that bore his name, the Sicilian river Acis. She turned her lover himself into the horned god of the stream. He retained his original features except that he was larger and his face a deep blue.
This version of the tale now occurs nowhere earlier than in Ovid\'s work and might perhaps have been a fiction invented by the poet, \"suggested by the manner in which the little river springs forth from under a rock.\" But according to the Greek scholar Athenaeus, the story was first concocted by Philoxenus of Cythera as a political satire against the Sicilian tyrant Dionysius I of Syracuse, whose favourite concubine, Galatea, shared her name with the nymph. Others claim that the story was invented to explain the presence of a shrine dedicated to Galatea on Mount Etna.
According to a later tradition, Galatea eventually yielded to Polyphemus\' embraces. Their son, Galas or Galates, became the ancestor of the Gauls. The Hellenistic historian Timaeus, who was of Sicilian birth, described Galates as a son of Polyphemos and Galateia.
Galatea, together with Doto and Panope, escorted her sister Thetis out of the sea to her wedding with Peleus. In Homer\'s *Iliad*, Galatea and her other sisters appear to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles at the slaying of his friend Patroclus
