# La colmena (film)
***The Beehive*** (*links=no*) is a 1982 Spanish film directed by Mario Camus based on the novel *The Hive* by Camilo José Cela, it depicts the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and its impact on several characters. Cela has a small role as Matías Martí.
## Synopsis
The film is set in Madrid during the postwar period, beginning in 1942. The population suffers the consequences of the civil war. A group of members of a social gathering meet every day in the café *La Delicia:*
- Doña Rosa (María Luisa Ponte) is the owner of the central cafe *La Delicia* that most of the other characters frequent. She is strict and threatens her staff and her clients with physical violence and accusing them of political crimes, so that they work tirelessly and pay for her drinks.
- Several penniless poets, unofficially led by Ricardo Sorbedo (Paco Rabal), meet in the cafeteria ordering the minimum drink and often convincing the academic Don Ibrahim (Luis Escobar) to invite them in a scam game that Ibrahim understands and approves to have someone\'s sympathy, since he himself, thou wealthy when compared to the poets, is short of support among his peers. The other poets, including Rubio Antofagasta (Mario Pardo) and Ramón Maello (Francisco Algora), seek their fortune by competing in vain for prizes in literary competitions.
- Martín Marco López (José Sacristán) is another writer with even less luck and money than the others. He lives off the charity that his sister Filo (Fiorella Faltoyano) offers him behind the back of her husband, who considers Martín lazy. Martín sleeps for free in a brothel because the madame appreciates the friendship that Martín had had with her late son. He openly represents post-war intellectuals.
- Julián Suárez (Rafael Alonso) is a campy homosexual who lives with his elderly mother Doña Margot in the same building as Filo. He courts Pepe (Antonio Resines), a younger man who can defend him against prejudice, and in return Julián tries to secure Pepe\'s professional future. When Julián\'s mother commits suicide, Julián and Pepe are arrested for homicide, reflecting the prejudices against homosexuality, and Martín is also arrested because of his homeless appearance.
- Mario de la Vega (Agustín González) is a wealthy bourgeois who boasts of his fortune, for example by smoking good cigars, and claims to have earned his money by working, when in reality he has risen socially and economically by being on the winning side of the war. He represents the social class that benefited from early Francoism.
- Leonardo Meléndez (José Luis López Vázquez) is a scoundrel and petty swindler who tries to obtain financing for businesses doomed to fail, and thus keep the down payments. He lives in a boarding house, misleading the people around him to steal food. He has experience working in theater, and takes pride in his time in prison, pretending that he went for worthy reasons when he was actually stealing food.
- Tesifonte Ovejero (Saza) is one of Meléndez\'s boarding companions. A chronic smoker with a worrying cough, he refuses to give up tobacco because it is the only pleasure he has left (Meléndez often offers to take Ovejero\'s smoker\'s license, pretending it is to do him a favor). Meléndez tries to help Ovejero succeed with women, but Ovejero ends up looking for a partner on his own.
- Ventura Aguado (Emilio Gutiérrez Caba) is their other boarding companion. He tries to get the notary exam, claiming that he doesn\'t get it because they don\'t schedule the tests. Only when he has that position will his girlfriend Julita (Victoria Abril) consent to marry him. He looks for ways to be with her before her wedding, such as renting a room from her, but she finds those acts degrading.
- Victorita (Ana Belén) is in love with a sick man (Imanol Arias), against the wishes of her mother (Encarna Paso). She tries to make a living with dancing, but she is forced to drift into prostitution and meet de la Vega.

# Search for the Hero
\"**Search for the Hero**\" is a song by British dance music band M People, released in June 1995 by Sony BMG and RCA as the third single (remixed) from their third album, *Bizarre Fruit* (1994). The song was written by bandmembers Mike Pickering and Paul Heard, and produced by the band. It peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart, number 13 on the UK Dance Singles Chart and number three on the UK R&B Singles Chart. Its accompanying music video was directed by Matthew Amos.
## Background
There had been a four-and-a-half-month gap between their previous single \"Open Your Heart\" and this single\'s release. Originally planned to be the second single, but delayed for a more radio-friendly single remix, \"Search for the Hero\" became one of the most familiar M People songs, responsible for propelling the parent album *Bizarre Fruit* back into the top 10 in 1995 after having first charted at No. 4 in November 1994. The saxophone parts were played by session saxophonist Snake Davis, as he has done for many other M People songs.
## Critical reception {#critical_reception}
William Cooper from AllMusic described the song as \"jazzy\" and named it one of the highlights from the *Bizarre Fruit* album. Another editor, Jon O\'Brien, called it an \"uplifting\" anthem. Larry Flick from *Billboard* felt that it is an \"optimistic pop/hip-hop number\" and stated that Heather Small \"continues to be a uniquely enchanting front woman, while her partners, Mike Pickering and Paul Heard, prove their mettle as tunesmiths who require attention beyond the parameters of nightclubs\". Jeremy Biser from *The Day* said the track can \"cure whatever ails the soul.\" Pan-European magazine *Music & Media* concluded, \"Water and fire can be friends after all. Musically big-voiced Ms Small does something inconceivable for many others, namely singing a soulful ballad on quite a heavy rhythm track.\"
A reviewer from *Music Week* rated it three out of five, adding that \"this laid back effort from *Bizarre Fruit* lacks the guts of its predecessors. Probably a hit, but certainly not their biggest.\" An editor, Alan Jones, named it one of the album\'s \"better tracks\", complimenting it as \"superior and stately\". He found that \"the slower tempo suits Heather Small much better and the loose feel of the track is pleasing.\" Johnny Dee from *NME* praised its \"excellent songwriting\". *People Magazine* noted its \"feel-good mantra\" and stated that Small\'s \"booming alto is hard to shake and, like her pineapple-shaped coif, impossible to ignore.\" James Hamilton from the *RM* Dance Update called it a \"change of pace attractive sultry swayer\". Wayne Bledsoe from *Scripps Howard* commented that \"the cavernous acoustics on the intro to \"Search for the Hero\" sound like a chopper landing in a field.\" He also remarked that Small\'s \"commanding tone matches the grandiosity\" of the intro.
## Chart performance {#chart_performance}
In June 1995, \"Search for the Hero\" continued the band\'s unbroken run of eight consecutive Top 10 singles, entering the chart and peaking at number nine. It had been expected`{{by whom|date=March 2021}}`{=mediawiki} to chart higher due to strong radio support, but it stayed in the Top 20 for three weeks like predecessor single: \"Open Your Heart\". The single dropped out of the top 40 after just five weeks. The two *Bizarre Fruit* singles \"Open Your Heart\" and \"Search for the Hero\" had been swapped by the record company because of the demand for dance music in 1995, so \"Search for the Hero\" was pushed to be the middle single scheduled for the summer as a precursor to their world tour.
The single sold 88,700 copies in its first week, almost as much as \"Renaissance\", which a year previously had sold 89,000 in its first week after charting higher at number five in February 1994.
## Airplay
Airplay for the single began five weeks before retail release, entering at number 45 and moving to 31 to 23 to 18 and then to number 15 in its first retail week. Unlike its sales, \"Search for the Hero\"\'s airplay peaked at number 5, where it stayed for two weeks and did not leave the Airplay Top 40 for 13 weeks.
In May 1996, almost a year after release \"Search for the Hero\" re-entered the airplay chart at number 33 and climbed for five consecutive weeks to peak at number 20. This is therefore one of two singles in the \'90s apart from Robbie Williams\'s \"Angels\" and Ultra Naté\'s \"Free\" to do so , possibly prompted by the song\'s use in a Peugeot 406 advert that same year.

## Music video {#music_video}
The accompanying music video for \"Search for the Hero\" was directed by Matthew Amos. The video was shot in early May 1995 in and around the iconic Battersea Power Station in South London on the still disused site with special flame effects and Heather at the forefront with the band playing behind her. A triptych of images are detailed with DNA formulae, people in busy places and body statistics make up this image and foundation of life. Children are also seen running free and playing in the desecration and dilapidation of broken down cars, bricks, mortar, fire and flames.
The whole line up of the band are seen as well as, on drums Andy Gangadeen, Lynieve Austin and Paul Johnson performing on backing vocals within the shell of the Power Station drums. The other images seen are of exploding cars, kids playing on wasteland, smashing glasses bottles and CCTV footage. There are two poignant images in the video are the dolls head falling to the ground and the child swing from the hanging rope noose.
## Remixes
Unusually for an M People single, mixes of the single were heavily R&B and not dance-orientated and were provided by Smith & Mighty. They serviced two mixes of the single in the form of a laid back R&B groove, the \"Searchin Mix\" and a dub of the same remix. The other mix is from producers Blacksmith with their \"Mellow Flava Mix\". The final track on the single is a live performance recorded in Germany on the Bizarre Fruit Tour earlier in 1995.

## In popular culture {#in_popular_culture}
In 1996, one year after its release, \"Search for the Hero\" was used as the background music in a Peugeot 406 television advert. The advert debuted during ITV's *News at Ten*, taking up the entire three-minute commercial break. The commercial combined the song with a series of surreal and controversial images, from a wildlife photographer interacting with an elephant to a child narrowly avoiding being hit by a car, and saw the brand replace its former tagline: \"The lion goes from strength to strength\" to \"The drive of your life\".
The song was heard briefly in the 2015 Aardman film *Shaun the Sheep Movie*.
During the 2020 Conservative Party Conference, Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged people to \"search for the hero inside yourself\" when discussing the need to maintain a healthy weight during the coronavirus pandemic

# Haji Akbar Turajanzade
**Haji Akbar Turajanzade** (*Ҳоҷӣ Акбар Тураҷонзода*; born **Akbar Turaevich Qahhorov** *Акбар Тӯраевич Қаҳҳоров* in 1954) is a Senator in the National Assembly of Tajikistan. He served as the Qazi Qalon, the highest Muslim authority in Tajikistan, from 1988 to 1991. He served as the second-in-command of the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan and the United Tajik Opposition from 1993 until his expulsion from the party in 1999. He served as the Deputy Prime Minister in the Tajik government after the civil war.
## Biography
Turajonzoda was born in the Kofarnihon District near Dushanbe in the Tajik SSR. He served in the Department of International Relations in the Spiritual Administration of Muslims in Central Asia in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR from 1985 to 1987. He left Tajikistan in 1992 when the civil war began, visiting Iran, the Arab world, the United States, Europe, Russia, and Uzbekistan. UTO leader Said Abdullah Nuri and Turajonzoda led the UTO from Afghanistan and Iran during the civil war, returning to Tajikistan in February 1998.
## Comments on Hizb ut-Tahrir {#comments_on_hizb_ut_tahrir}
He has called Hizb ut-Tahrir, an international Islamist organization, a threat to Tajikistan\'s stability. He claimed HT is Western-sponsored and that it wants to \"remak\[e\] Central Asia\... A more detailed analysis of HT\'s programmatic and ideological views and concrete examples of its activities suggests that it was created by anti-Islamic forces. One proof of this is the comfortable existence this organization enjoys in a number of Western countries, where it has large centers and offices that develop its concept of an Islamic caliphate.\"
Turajonzoda praised Nuri following his death, saying, \"Mentor Nuri had a very unique nature. He did a lot of good things during his short life. He was one of those personalities who, firstly, strived to prevent the civil war in 1992, and then tried to return \[the country to\] peace and stability. After the war was imposed on us, and we had not other choice, we tried together with him to reach a fair peace deal so that our refugees could return from Afghanistan to Tajikistan with honor.\"
## Call for amnesty {#call_for_amnesty}
On 12 March 2007 he called on the Rahmonov administration to grant a general amnesty for all involved in the civil war on the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. \"Originally \[the amnesty\] was Nuri\'s idea\... The talk was of an amnesty for those people who are still in jail. I proposed to him that there should be a full amnesty, and he accepted this wholeheartedly but added that we should also include the liquidation of those criminal cases still pending against all leaders of the opposition.\" He criticized war-time convictions, saying the evidence often did not prove the charges.
Shodi Shabdolov, the leader of the Communist Party, and Abduqayum Yusufov, the chairman of Tajikistan\'s Independent Lawyers\' Association, support the amnesty proposal

# John O'Brien (hurler)
**John O\'Brien** (born 3 January 1982) is an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Tipperary senior team.
Born in Toomevara, County Tipperary, O\'Brien first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2001 league. O\'Brien went on to enjoy a lengthy career, and won two All-Ireland medals, five Munster medals and one National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.
At club level O\'Brien is a two-time Munster medallist with Toomevara. In addition to this he has also won seven championship medals and three county final Man of the Match awards.
His brother, Paddy O\'Brien, is also an All-Ireland medallist with Tipperary.
Throughout his career O\'Brien made 36 championship appearances. He announced his retirement from inter-county hurling on 26 November 2014.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
### Club
O\'Brien plays his club hurling with Toomevara and has enjoyed much success in a lengthy career.
After making his senior championship debut as a seventeen-year-old in 1999, Toomevara went on to qualify for a second successive county final. A 1-17 to 0-13 defeat of Nenagh Éire Óg gave O\'Brien his first championship medal.
Toomevara\'s championship dominance continued for a third consecutive year in 2000. A 2-10 to 0-11 defeat of Thurles Sarsfield\'s gave O\'Brien his second championship medal.
Both Toomevara and Thurles Sarsfield\'s met in the county final again in 2001. O\'Brien\'s side were on the verge of history by becoming the third side in history to win four championships in-a-row. A 1-22 to 1-13 trouncing of the Thurles club gave O\'Brien his third championship medal.
Five-in-a-row proved beyond Toomevara, however, the team reached the county final once again in 2003. A 3-16 to 3-13 defeat of Thurles Sarsfield\'s once again, gave O\'Brien his fourth championship medal.
Toomevara retained their title in 2004 following a comfortable 4-12 to 2-12 win over Éire Óg/Golden. It was also a remarkable fifth championship medal in six seasons for O\'Brien. After a number of early exits from the provincial championship in recent years, Toomevara subsequently defeated Mount Sion by just a single point to give O\'Brien his first Munster medal.
After surrendering their county and provincial titles in 2005, Toomevara returned to the county championship decider once again the following year. A thrilling 1-21 to 2-14 defeat of Nenagh Éire Óg, in which O\'Brien top scored with 1-4 from play, saw Toomevara take the title once again. O\'Brien later won a second Munster medal following a controversial 2-9 to 2-8 defeat of Erin\'s Own of Cork.
In 2008 O\'Brien won a seventh county championship medal following a 2-14 to 0-17 defeat of old rivals Thurles Sarsfield\'s.
### Minor & under-21 {#minor_under_21}
O\'Brien was seventeen-years-old when he made his minor championship debut for Tipperary in 1999. He collected his first Munster medal that year following a 1--13 to 2-7 defeat of Clare. Tipp progressed to the All-Ireland final where Galway provided the opposition. A 0--13 to 0--10 score line resulted in defeat for O\'Brien\'s side.
In 2003 O\'Brien was in his last year as a member of the under-21 team. That year Tipperary broke through Limerick\'s stranglehold on the championship and O\'Brien secured a Munster medal following a 2-14 to 0-17 defeat of Cork after extra-time.

# John O'Brien (hurler)
## Playing career {#playing_career}
### Senior
#### Beginnings
O\'Brien made his senior debut on 21 April 2001 in a 1-16 to 0-13 group stage defeat of Laois in the National League. Tipperary later claimed the league title, however, O\'Brien remained as a substitute for that victory. Later that year he made his championship debut when he came on as substitute for Lar Corbett in the provincial decider against Limerick. Tipperary triumphed by 2-16 to 1-17, with O\'Brien collecting his first Munster medal. He later collected an All-Ireland medal as a non-playing substitute as Tipperary defeated Galway by 2-18 to 2-15.
Over the next few years O\'Brien remained on the periphery of the team as Tipperary went into decline.
#### Return to success {#return_to_success}
The appointment of Liam Sheedy as Tipperary\'s new manager saw O\'Brien take to a more prominent role. Tipperary remained undefeated during their 2008 league campaign and qualified for the decider against Galway. A Lar Corbett goal proved decisive in the 3-18 to 3-16 victory. It was O\'Brien\'s first National League medal on the field of play. He later collected a second Munster medal as Tipperary continued their winning streak with a 2-21 to 0-19 defeat of a resurgent Clare. After scoring 1-4 in that game he was named man of the match.
Tipperary retained their provincial crown in 2009, with O\'Brien collecting a third Munster medal following a 4-14 to 2-16 defeat of Waterford. On 6 September 2009 Tipperary faced four-in-a-row hopefuls Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider. For long periods Tipp looked the likely winners, however, late goals from Henry Shefflin and substitute Martin Comerford finally killed off their efforts to secure a 2-22 to 0-23 victory.
Three successive Munster titles proved beyond Tipperary, however, in spite of a shock defeat by Cork in the provincial quarter-final, Tipperary used the qualifiers to good effect and qualified for the All-Ireland decider on 5 September 2010. Kilkenny were the opponents once again as they sought a fifth successive All-Ireland crown title. \"The Cats\" lost talisman Henry Shefflin early in the game due to injury, while Tipp\'s Lar Corbett ran riot and scored a hat-trick of goals before Noel McGrath added a fourth. The 4-17 to 1-18 victory gave O\'Brien his first All-Ireland medal on the field of play.
Tipperary reclaimed the provincial crown in 2011 following a huge 7-19 to 0-19 drubbing of Waterford in the decider. It was O\'Brien\'s fourth Munster medal. Tipperary subsequently faced Kilkenny in a third successive All-Ireland decider on 4 September 2011. Goals by Michael Fennelly and Richie Hogan in either half gave Kilkenny, who many viewed as the underdogs going into the game, a 2-17 to 1-16 victory.
#### Final years {#final_years}
Tipperary won their fourth Munster crown in five years in 2012 as they easily retained the title. The 2-17 to 0-16 defeat of Waterford gave O\'Brien a fifth provincial winners\' medal.
After a poor start to their 2014 championship campaign, Tipperary reached the All-Ireland final on 7 September 2014. O\'Brien started the game on the bench but was introduced as a substitute in what some consider to be the greatest game of all-time. John O\'Dwyer had the chance to win the game, however, his late free drifted wide resulting in a draw. O\'Brien was also sprung from the bench in the replay which Kilkenny won by 2-17 to 2-14.
O\'Brien announced his retirement from inter-county hurling on 26 November 2014. In a released statement he said \"I wish to announce my retirement from the Tipperary Hurling team. It has been an honour to have represented my county at senior level since my debut in 2001. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me and made it possible for me to play, most importantly my family and friends, my club Toomevara, the management and backroom teams throughout those years which are too many to mention and also the Tipperary public. I have made many great friends over those years and I would like to wish the current panel and management team the very best of luck

# Brauroneion
The **Brauroneion** was the sanctuary of Artemis Brauronia on the Athenian Acropolis, located in the southwest corner of the Acropolis plateau, between the Chalkotheke and the Propylaea in Greece. It was originally dedicated during the reign of Peisistratos. *Artemis Brauronia*, protector of women in pregnancy and childbirth, had her main sanctuary at Brauron, a *demos* on the east coast of Attica.
The sanctuary on the Acropolis was of an unusual trapezoidal shape and did not contain a formal temple. Instead, a portico or *stoa* served that function. The *stoa* measured *circa* 38 by 6.8 m; it stood in front of the southern Acropolis wall, facing north. At its corners, there were two risalit-like side wings, each about 9.3 m long, the western one facing east and vice versa. North of the east wing stood a further short west-facing *stoa*. All of the sanctuary\'s western part, now lost, stood on the remains of the Mycenaean fortification wall. All that remains of the eastern pare are foundations for walls, cut into the bedrock, as well as some very few architectural members of limestone.
One of the wings contained the wooden cult statue (xoanon) of the goddess. Women who petitioned Artemis for help habitually dedicated items of clothing, which were draped around the statue. In 346 BC, a second cult statue was erected. According to Pausanias, it was a work by Praxiteles.
Pausanias wrote:
> There is also a sanctuary \[at Athens\] of Artemis Brauronia (of Brauron); the image is the work of Praxiteles, but the goddess derives her name from the parish of Brauron. The old wooden image is in Brauron, Artemis Tauria (of Tauros) as she is called.
Pausanias also records the presence of an over-life-sized bronze horse representing the Trojan Horse.
> Then there is a sanctuary of the Brauronian Artemis\... The horse one sees here, referred to as wooden, is in bronze\... But tradition has it that inside that horse were hidden the most valiant of the Greeks, and indeed the design (schema) of the bronze figure fits in well with this story. Menestheus and Teucer are peeping out of it, and behind them also the sons of Theseus.
Further evidence is provided by the scholion to Aristophanes mentioning the name of the dedicator, Chairedemos. This is corroborated by the survival of the base of the sculpture on the Acropolis, which is inscribed with the names of Chairedemos and its sculptor Strongylion. The reference in Aristophanes allows for a terminus ante quem of the statue of 415/414.
The entrance to the small sacred precinct, near its northeast corner, is still marked by seven rock-cut steps. They, and its northern enclosure, were probably created by Mnesicles during the building of the Propylaea. The date of the complex in its final shape is unclear, but a date around 430 BC, similar to that of the adjacent Propylaea, is commonly assumed.
If still in use by the 4th-century, the temple would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire, when the Christian Emperors issued edicts prohibiting non-Christian worship

After a tour to promote the album, they released its follow-up, *Romantic 1990*, followed by a live album, *19901108* a year later.
The concert immortalized on the *19901108* CD and video turned out to be their last. They broke up sometime after the show, and in an interview Hotei said that the experience of Complex ended his friendship with Kikkawa (equating it to a divorce) and that he thought the whole thing was \"a mistake\". To date, neither Hotei nor Kikkawa has elaborated on the reason behind the band\'s breakup.
Following the band\'s breakup, both Hotei and Kikkawa continued their solo careers.
The band\'s label Toshiba EMI released a greatest hits compilation called *Complex Best* in 1998, and a DVD re-issues of their video catalog, which are currently out of print.
On April 28, 2011, it was announced that after 21 years, Kikkawa and Hotei would reunite for a Complex show on July 30 and 31st at the Tokyo Dome. All proceeds were donated to aid the victims of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. The performance was released on CD, DVD and Blu-ray in 2012. On May 15, 2024, Complex returned to the Tokyo Dome for a second time, this time to raise money for the victims of the 2024 Noto earthquake.

# Joan Hassall
**Joan Hassall** `{{postnominals|country=GBR|OBE}}`{=mediawiki} (3 March 1906 -- 6 March 1988) was an English wood engraver and book illustrator. Her subject matter ranged from natural history through poetry to illustrations for English literary classics. In 1972 she was elected the first woman Master of the Art Workers\' Guild and in 1987 was awarded the OBE (Order of the British Empire).
## Biography
Born at 88 Kensington Park Road, Notting Hill, London, Joan Hassall was the daughter of the artist John Hassall, famous for his poster \"Skegness is so bracing\", and his second wife, Constance Brooke Webb.
Her letters show how close she was to her younger brother, Christopher Hassall, and his early death affected her greatly. She addressed him as \'Topher\' in her letters to him, until his wife, Eve, objected, whereupon she switched to \'Bruth\'. Her portrait of Christopher is now in the National Portrait Gallery.
She attended Parsons Mead School and then trained as a teacher at the Froebel Institute. Her experiences at a rough East London secondary school convinced her that she did not want to be a teacher. She worked as her father\'s secretary for two years and then attended the Royal Academy Schools from 1928 to 1933.
In 1931, to help a friend because numbers for the class were dropping, she began evening classes in wood engraving at the London Central School of Photo-engraving and Lithography in Fleet Street, where her teacher was R. John Beedham. The discovery of wood engraving had a profound influence on the rest of her life.
## The early years {#the_early_years}
She canvassed the London publishers for commissions for wood engravings, without success, until Heinemann commissioned her in 1936 to engrave the title page of her brother Christopher\'s book of poems, *Devil's Dyke*. She later discovered that her £5 fee had been deducted from her brother\'s royalties. She went on to illustrate a number of her brother\'s books, but the most important outcome for her was the commission to illustrate Francis Brett Young\'s *Portrait of a Village* (1937). She spent a great deal of time travelling around the area of Evesham and Pershore to make preliminary drawings for her wood engravings and produced a book that is generally considered to be one of her best.
In 1940 Hassall produced an equally successful set of wood engravings to illustrate *Cranford* by Mrs Gaskell. She carried out a great deal of research into the costumes of the period, and was able to make preparatory drawings of a suitably slim friend wearing period costumes from the extensive collection of Cecil Willett Cunnington, who lived nearby.
## The years in Scotland {#the_years_in_scotland}
During World War II John Kingsley Cook, a tutor of Book Illustration and Drawing at Edinburgh College of Art, suggested that Joan Hassall act as his replacement, a post that she accepted. This was a time that was, in many ways, profitable for Hassall. She was commissioned to produce a series of chapbooks for the Saltire Society, and established links with the publishers Oliver & Boyd that led to a number of commissions. She designed all aspects of the chapbooks, including the typography, and went on to be responsible for the overall design of some of her other books. She was, at times, very critical of how her work was reproduced in books, and turned down commissions from publishers in whom she did not have confidence.
When she returned to Kensington Park Road she had her own hand press and produced a range of ephemeral publications over the years -- chapbooks, Christmas cards, fliers for the local Anglican church et al. -- as well as using it to print her wood engravings. She took her press with her to Malham, and carried on pulling proofs of her wood engravings to present to visitors.

## The later years {#the_later_years}
The period after the war was one of great activity for Hassall. In 1946 she illustrated *51 Poems* by Mary Webb, and then, in 1947, *Our Village* by Mary Russell Mitford. The wood engravings were, once again, based on drawings of models wearing authentic period costumes. 1947 saw the publication too of *A Child\'s Garden of Verses* by Robert Louis Stevenson, a charmingly illustrated book that was reprinted several times, and of Eric Linklater\'s *Sealskin Trousers*. The publisher Rupert Hart-Davis produced a limited edition of 50 copies of the latter, printed by Hague and Gill and bound by the London bookbinding firm of Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Hassall recalls that Linklater, after a rather liquid lunch, sat back after signing 20 copies and announced that he was going to sign the rest \'J. B. Priestley\'. None of these copies, if they exist, has ever come onto the market.
1950 saw the publication of *The Strange World of Nature* by Bernard Gooch, another book based on meticulous observation, Hassall\'s trademark. In the same year she created 43 illustrations for *The Collected Poems of Andrew Young*; the wood engravings were used for several later editions.
Her skill came out strongly in the 1955 edition of *The Oxford Nursery Rhyme Book* by Iona and Peter Opie, where she had to produce some 150 wood engravings to blend in with the period stock blocks used by the Oxford University Press.
Between 1957 and 1962 Hassall produced wood engravings for a seven-volume edition of the novels of Jane Austen by the Folio Society. The edition has been reprinted many times by the Folio Society. Hassall had already worked for the society, illustrating two works by Trollope.
Her last major work was an edition of the poems of Robert Burns for the Limited Editions Club.

## Malham and retirement {#malham_and_retirement}
Hassall retired to Malham, Yorkshire, in 1976. She had always suffered from bad health, which made it difficult to complete commissions and make a living. She had continued to live in her parents\' house at 88 Kensington Park Road, and had had to take in lodgers to help maintain the house. In 1973 she inherited Priory Cottage, Malham, from an old friend, Greta Hopkins, and in 1976 she decided to retire there. Her eyesight was failing, and she was overwhelmed by money problems. She said in a letter to Tim Coombs \"I often think how wonderful it would have been to live in 88 with an adequate income, as it was such a beautiful house, but it was a 24-year struggle to make ends meet.\"
She had known Malham since 1932 and had many friends there. Friends made at London continued to visit her, she had her cats and she had her music (she played the spinet, the organ, the flute and the viol). She had the Methodist Chapel at Malham and the Anglican church at Kirkby Malham (her faith had always been important to her).
Malham was her life at the end and she invited two friends from there, Norman Cawood and Barbara Hudson, to be her guests when she went to Buckingham Palace to receive the OBE.
Brian North Lee, her executor, said at her funeral: \"Joan's retirement at Malham was arguably the most happy period of her life.\" The warmth of his address typifies the feelings that Hassall\'s friends had for her. Another close friend, and former lodger at 88 Kensington Park Road, Norman Painting, gave the eulogy at her memorial service at St Giles in the Fields.

## An overview of Hassall\'s work {#an_overview_of_hassalls_work}
Hassall\'s output consists largely of wood engravings. Some are independent engravings, mostly produced at the beginning of her career; the vast majority, however, are illustrations for books. Producing these illustrations, along with commercial commissions, was how Hassall earned her living. Her work tends to the small and meticulously observed, rather than the large and dramatic, the vignette rather than the full-page plate. Her place in the history of wood engraving is that of the highly skilled and valued practitioner rather than the innovator.
She produced a great deal of commercial and more ephemeral work -- bookplates, letterheads, Christmas and other cards, menus and other printed material for British Transport Hotels, booklets for British Transport films, illustrations for magazines, etc.. Her style is easy to recognise, even when work is unsigned.
Most of her work is wood-engraved, but she also used scraperboard, line drawings, water colour and oils.
Some of her work was quite high-profile. In 1948 Hassall designed the £1 postage stamp issued in commemoration of the Royal Silver Wedding of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth; she was the first woman to have a stamp design accepted by the GPO.
She won the competition to design the invitation to the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II; she had to use scraperboard to produce the final design as there was not enough time to produce a wood engraving for such a large and complex design. She also designed the personal invitation that Prince Charles received to the coronation.

# What Is It Like to Be a Bat?
\"**What Is It Like to Be a Bat?**\" is a paper by American philosopher Thomas Nagel, first published in *The Philosophical Review* in October 1974, and later in Nagel\'s *Mortal Questions* (1979). The paper presents several difficulties posed by phenomenal consciousness, including the potential insolubility of the mind--body problem owing to \"facts beyond the reach of human concepts\", the limits of objectivity and reductionism, the \"phenomenological features\" of subjective experience, the limits of human imagination, and what it means to be a particular, conscious thing.
Nagel asserts that \"an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism---something it is like for the organism.\" This assertion has achieved special status in consciousness studies as \"the standard \'what it\'s like\' locution\". Daniel Dennett, while sharply disagreeing on some points, acknowledged Nagel\'s paper as \"the most widely cited and influential thought experiment about consciousness\".Nagel argues you cannot compare human consciousness to that of a bat.
## Thesis
Nagel challenges the possibility of explaining \"the most important and characteristic feature of conscious mental phenomena\" by reductive materialism (the philosophical position that all statements about the mind and mental states can be translated, without any loss or change in meaning, into statements about the physical). For example, a reductive physicalist\'s solution to the mind--body problem holds that whatever \"consciousness\" is, it can be fully described via physical processes in the brain and body.
Nagel begins by assuming that \"conscious experience is a widespread phenomenon\" present in many animals (particularly mammals), even though it is \"difficult to say \[\...\] what provides evidence of it\". Thus, Nagel sees consciousness not as something exclusively human, but as something shared by many, if not all, organisms. Nagel must be speaking of something other than sensory perception, since objective facts and widespread evidence show that organisms with sensory organs have biological processes of sensory perception. In fact, what all organisms share, according to Nagel, is what he calls the \"subjective character of experience\" defined as follows: \"An organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism -- something that it is like for the organism.\"
The paper argues that the subjective nature of consciousness undermines any attempt to explain consciousness via objective, reductionist means. The subjective character of experience cannot be explained by a system of functional or intentional states. Consciousness cannot be fully explained if the subjective character of experience is ignored, and the subjective character of experience cannot be explained by a reductionist; it is a mental phenomenon that cannot be reduced to materialism. Thus, for consciousness to be explained from a reductionist stance, the idea of the subjective character of experience would have to be discarded, which is absurd. Neither can a physicalist view, because in such a world, each phenomenal experience had by a conscious being would have to have a physical property attributed to it, which is impossible to prove due to the subjectivity of conscious experience. Nagel argues that each and every subjective experience is connected with a \"single point of view\", making it infeasible to consider any conscious experience as \"objective\".
Nagel uses the example of bats to clarify the distinction between subjective and objective concepts. Because bats are mammals, they are assumed to have conscious experience. Nagel was inspired to use a bat for his argument after living in a home where the animals were frequent visitors. Nagel ultimately used bats for his argument because of their highly evolved and active use of a biological sensory apparatus that is significantly different from that of many other organisms. Bats use echolocation to navigate and perceive objects. This method of perception is similar to the human sense of vision. Both sonar and vision are regarded as perceptual experiences. While it is possible to imagine what it would be like to fly, navigate by sonar, hang upside down and eat insects like a bat, that is not the same as a bat\'s perspective. Nagel claims that even if humans were able to metamorphose gradually into bats, their brains would not have been wired as a bat\'s from birth; therefore, they would only be able to experience the life and behaviors of a bat, rather than the mindset.
Such is the difference between subjective and objective points of view. According to Nagel, \"our own mental activity is the only unquestionable fact of our experience\", meaning that each individual only knows what it is like to be them (subjectivism). Objectivity requires an unbiased, non-subjective state of perception. For Nagel, the objective perspective is not feasible, because humans are limited to subjective experience.
Nagel concludes with the contention that it would be wrong to assume that physicalism is incorrect, since that position is also imperfectly understood. Physicalism claims that states and events are physical, but those physical states and events are only imperfectly characterized. Nevertheless, he holds that physicalism cannot be understood without characterizing objective and subjective experience. That is a necessary precondition for understanding the mind--body problem.
## Criticisms
Daniel Dennett denies Nagel\'s claim that the bat\'s consciousness is inaccessible, contending that any \"interesting or theoretically important\" features of a bat\'s consciousness would be amenable to third-person observation. For instance, it is clear that bats cannot detect objects more than a few meters away because echolocation has a limited range. Dennett holds that any similar aspects of its experiences could be gleaned by further scientific experiments. He has also pointed out that Nagel\'s argument and question were not new, but had previously been stated by B. A. Farrell in his 1950 article \"Experience\", published in the journal *Mind*.
Kathleen Akins similarly argued that many questions about a bat\'s subjective experience hinge on unanswered questions about the neuroscientific details of a bat\'s brain (such as the function of cortical activity profiles), and Nagel is too quick in ruling these out as answers to his central question.
Peter Hacker analyzes Nagel\'s statement as not only \"malconstructed\" but philosophically \"misconceived\" as a definition of consciousness, and he asserts that Nagel\'s paper \"laid the groundwork for \... forty years of fresh confusion about consciousness\".
Eric Schwitzgebel and Michael S. Gordon have argued that, contrary to Nagel, normal sighted humans do use echolocation much like bats`{{snd}}`{=mediawiki}it is just that it is generally done without one\'s awareness. They use this to argue that normal people in normal circumstances can be grossly and systematically mistaken about their conscious experience

Whilst an MP he was Parliamentary Secretary to the Postmaster General serving under Sydney Buxton. His sister, Venetia Stanley, was a close correspondent of the Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal party, H. H. Asquith.
Stanley had been commissioned an officer in the Royal Anglesey Engineers Militia in May 1900, and saw active service in South Africa during the Second Boer War. He was promoted to captain on 6 December 1902.
In 1913 he was serving as High Sheriff of Anglesey when he was appointed Governor of Victoria. He was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George and took up his post on 23 February 1914. He served a five-year term and an additional year until relinquishing the post on 30 January 1920, although he had returned to Britain the previous year due to ill health. In the 1923 General election he stood unsuccessfully as Liberal candidate for Knutsford, losing by 80 votes to Conservative, Sir Ernest Makins. From 1925 to 1928 he was Chairman of the Royal Colonial Institute and of the East Africa Joint Committee.
In 1925 he succeeded his father to the three baronies and was known by the Stanley title. He died in August 1931 of a bacterial infection, actinomycosis. He was succeeded by his son Edward.
In his capacity as former Governor of Victoria, he attended the Covent Garden farewell of the Australian soprano Nellie Melba, and made a speech thanking her for her artistry and war-work.

# Mjej II Gnuni
**Mzhezh** or **Mjej Gnuni** (*Մժեժ Գնունի*, *Mžēž Gnuni*), was an Armenian sparapet of Byzantine Armenia.
Initially serving under Heraclius, the contingent of Armenian troops under his command were instrumental in the Byzantine success against the Sassanids during the Byzantine-Persian Wars that culminated in the overthrow of Khosrau II in 628. He also served as the sparapet (commander in chief) of Byzantine Armenia from about 630 to 638, and during this time may have been responsible for the founding of the Cathedral of Mren. He was succeeded in this position by David Saharuni, from the middle-ranking Armenian nobility, after the latter was accused of plotting against the life of Heraclius. While being sent into exile, David escaped and made his way back to Armenia. There he raised an army, and slew Mžēž Gnuni, alongside his brother Varaz Gnel Gnuni. Evidence of this chronicled by Bishop Sebeos of the Bagratunis, such as \"41:16 Also involved in that plot was Dawit' Sahaṙuni, whom Mzhēzh arrested and sent to the palace. But on the way he cut his bonds and killed the men who were escorting him. He returned and united under his command the Armenian army. Attacking Mzhēzh Gnuni the Greek general, he defeated and killed both him and Varaz Gnel Gnuni. Then he took for himself command of the army with the agreement and support of all the troops.\" Account from the Manuscripts of Sebeos, Primary Source
He is also known to have approached the Armenian Catholicos Ezra for a union of the Armenian and Greek Churches, who initially refused, but later yielded to the menaces of the general

**Midgelle Regina Potts**, known as **Midge Potts**, is a transgender peace activist and Navy veteran who ran as a Progressive Party (Green Party) candidate in the 2010 Missouri Senate election.
## Biography
Potts was born in on January 10, 1969, in Gainesville, Missouri.
Potts served aboard the destroyer tender `{{USS|Yosemite|AD-19}}`{=mediawiki} off the coast of Kuwait during the Gulf War. It was there that Potts was exposed to evaporated mercury in an engine room aboard the ship, and was offered an honorable discharge after failing to get treatment. She now lives off of Social Security disability benefits.
After her discharge Potts reportedly married and had a child, before divorcing in 2003. After the divorce, Potts began living as a woman full-time, and while she began her transition by taking supplements to alter her body\'s hormones to be more female, she underwent conventional hormone therapy.
She unsuccessfully ran in Missouri\'s primary for the 7th District Congressional seat as a Republican in 2006 against incumbent Republican Congressman Roy Blunt. Potts received 4294 votes which equated to 7.2 percent of the vote in the Republican primary in the southwest Missouri district.
Potts announced on June 27, 2009, that she would run for the seat being vacated by retiring senator Kit Bond in 2010. Potts had no recordable votes in that election. On March 23, 2015, Potts announced on Facebook possibly seeking another attempt at the Senate seat by stating \"Last week, I made an announcement on several Green Party Fb pages stating that I have firmly decided to NOT SEEK THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION in 2016, and instead will most likely run for US Senator against Republican `{{sic|incum|bant|expected=incumbent}}`{=mediawiki}, Roy Blunt, in my home state of Missouri

# Emanuel Calvo
**Emanuel Calvo** (late-seventeenth century - before 1772) was an Italian physician and Neo-Hebraic poet.
He was born at Thessaloniki. In early youth he went to Livorno with his learned father, Raphael Calvo, and on October 23, 1724, he graduated as a doctor in Padua. Calvo practiced medicine with considerable success at Livorno, but inclined to the Kabbala toward the end of his life. Several of Calvo\'s poems are included in A.B. Piperno\'s collection *Ḳol \'Ugab*, Livorno, 1846. He was an intimate friend of the poet Abraham Isaac Castello and of Moses Hayyim Luzzatto, who wrote a eulogy of him in a Hebrew poem after his graduation, and subsequently corresponded with him. When Calvo died Joseph ben David wrote an elegy, which is published in his *Yeḳara de-Shakbe*, 1774

# Chalkotheke
The **Chalkotheke** (Greek for \"bronze store\") was a structure on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece. Its name and function are only known from 4th century BC inscriptions. One decree orders the listing of all objects stored in the Chalkotheke and the erection of a *stele* inscribed with that list in front of the building.
Remains of a structure discovered to the east of the sanctuary of Artemis Brauronia and immediately to the southwest of the Parthenon have been suggested to be those of the Chalkotheke. Only scant limestone foundations and rock-cut foundation trenches survive. The building stood in front of the southern Acropolis wall and was *circa* 43 m long and 14 m wide, fronted on its northern long side by a portico of 4.5 m width. To make room for that portico, the southernmost portion of the rock-cut steps leading up to the west facade of the Parthenon had to be cut away. Thus, the portico is assumed to have been an early fourth century BC addition, while the main part of the structure is thought to be roughly contemporary with the Parthenon, i.e. to date to the mid-fifth century. A major renovation appears to have taken place during Roman times, as indicated by numerous fragments of architectural members that are definitely Roman in date and have dimensions matching those of the Chalkotheke

# Robert Müller (ice hockey)
**Robert Müller** (25 June 1980 -- 21 May 2009) was a German professional ice hockey goaltender. He played in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga from 1998 to 2009.
## Career
Müller made his professional debut with EHC Klostersee of the 2nd Bundesliga in the 1997-98 season, before playing in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) from 1998 to 2009. He won the league championship with the Krefeld Pinguine in 2002--03, repeating the feat with the Adler Mannheim in 2006--07.
The Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League (NHL) selected Müller as their ninth-round pick in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, 275th overall, but he never played for the team.
## Illness and death {#illness_and_death}
In November 2006, Müller was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, known as glioblastoma. Part of the tumor was surgically removed, followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatment later in the year. It appeared impossible for Müller to play professional ice hockey any longer, but he recovered and made his comeback on 3 February 2007 at the DEL All-Star Game 2007.
In 2008, Müller was named again to the national team at the Skoda Cup in Switzerland. In August of that same year, while playing for the Kölner Haie, the tumor continued to grow, requiring another operation. After that he absolved his physician, Wolfgang Wick, from patient/physician confidentiality. Wick told the media that Müller was terminally ill and already exceeded the anticipated average life, as only 3% of the people having the same cancer live over five years.
On 18 December 2008 Müller\'s doctor declared him no longer fit to play, as his condition grew worse. He died of brain cancer on 21 May 2009; he is survived by his two children.
After Müller\'s death it was announced that the Kölner Haie, Adler Mannheim, and EHC Klostersee would all retire his number 80. EHC Red Bull München also retired his number 80, even though Müller had never played for München. The DEL also announced that starting with the 2009/10 season, the number 80 would never be used in the league again.
In 2017 Müller\'s silhouette was used for the logo of the 2017 IIHF World Championship

# Lawrence Gipe
**Lawrence Gipe** (born 1962 in Baltimore, Maryland), is an American painter, independent curator, and Associate Professor of 2D studies at The University of Arizona, Tucson. He received a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University (1984) and an MFA from the Otis/Parsons Institute of Art and Design, Los Angeles (1986). He maintains a studio practice in Los Angeles, splitting his time between California and Arizona.
Gipe\'s work utilizes "irredeemable" imagery sourced from an archive of business magazines (specifically, *Fortune*), propaganda tracts, social realism photography and other officially \"sanctioned\" artworks approved by politically-orientated bodies (such as the former Soviet Union, countries in the former Eastern Bloc, and China). His paintings translate small black and white images into large-scale works, saturated with color, in an ongoing series called *The Century of Progress Museum*. Severed from their original contexts, these reinterpretations encourage the viewer to reconstruct the original image\'s ideological landscape.
Artist and writer David Humphrey describes Gipe\'s practice thus, \"The great mass of pictures left behind by history has become a kind of second nature for many contemporary artists. Lawrence Gipe has been an intrepid painter from this archive, selecting, representing, and recontextualizing second and third hand sources. With a keen eye for authoritarian rhetorics, Gipe refigures period photographs as paintings, while slyly balancing connoisseurship and interrogation." In his review of Gipe\'s *The Last Picture Show* (1999) exhibition at Joseph Helman (New York), critic Donald Kuspit writes in Artforum, \"By showing us the tricks of the painting and photography trades, by heightening his effects until they become vulgarly evident, Gipe suggests that art as such is a species of rhetoric, adding no substance to what it renders but only "orating" it in a convincing way.\" As an organizer of, and participant in, the group exhibition *One Year: The Art of Politics in Los Angeles* (2018) at Glendale's Brand Library and Art Center, Los Angeles Times art critic Christopher Knight felt that the show had taken \"the defensible position that on some level all art is political.\"
Gipe has received two NEA Individual Fellowship Grants (Painting, 1989 and Works on Paper, 1996). A mid-career survey, *3 Five-Year Plans: Lawrence Gipe, 1990-2005,* was organized in 2006 by Marilyn Zeitlin at the ASU Art Museum, Tempe at Arizona State University. In 2001, Gipe was commissioned to create a mural for the lobby of the Federal Reserve Bank Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2014, Gipe won a University of Arizona Confluencenter Faculty Collaboration and Innovation Grant for *Documenting Operation Streamline:* an ongoing drawing project, and published *Operation Streamline: A Reader* with funds from the grant (2015), combining his sketches from Federal Court with press clippings and original research from University of Arizona journalism students. These drawings have been used to illustrate articles and news features on Univision, Univision Nacional, PBS NewsHour, AZ Daily Star, Tucson Weekly, CBS News, Center for Latin American Studies, and Arizona Public Media. In 2019, Gipe participated in a residency at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. As part of the residency, Gipe taught a two-week course, had an exhibition, and held a lecture. He gave students his perspectives about contemporary art, and emphasized the importance of conceptual development and social interaction between artists and the community.
Selected solo museum exhibitions include the Laguna Art Museum (Laguna Beach, CA), Amerika-Haus (Berlin), Worcester Art Museum, (Worcester, Massachusetts), Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen (Düsseldorf), and The Chrysler Museum (Norfolk, VA). Permanent collections include The Brooklyn Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), San Jose Museum of Art, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Yale University Library, Zimmerli Archive (Rutgers University, New Jersey), Boise Art Museum, Cincinnati Art Museum, [The Ringling Museum](https://www.ringling.org/collections), the Federal Reserve Board Fine Arts Program, and the Norton Museum of Art.
## Recent work {#recent_work}
Gipe's latest series, *Russian Drone Paintings*, employs the visual style of "Manifest Destiny" canvasses of the 19th Century. This directly references the Industrial Revolution: the historical origin, in his view, of our total ecological peril. Source images are derived from screenshots of drone footage posted on the now-censored RT news service run by the Russian government. These works address issues of hostile surveillance, climate change, and the Anthropocene. Seen through the lens of our global "adversary", images of cities abandoned due to radioactivity, bombardment, and other traumatic events become representative of humanity's relentless intrusion into nature. Selected works from this series feature prominently in Gipe\'s 2022 solo exhibition, *Recent Pictures*, at William Turner Gallery, Los Angeles.

# Herbert J. Taylor
**Herbert J. Taylor** (18 April 1893 -- 1 May 1978) was an American business executive, civic leader and sponsor of Christian organizations. He co-founded the Christian Workers Foundation (CWF) in 1939. He served on the boards of several such institutions including Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship (U.S.A.), Youth for Christ, Young Life, Fuller Seminary, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Christian Service Brigade, Pioneer Girls, and the Chicago Billy Graham Crusades. He was vice-chairman of the Price Adjustment Board of the War Department during World War II; the other positions he held were the presidency of Rotary International, 1954--55; directorship positions for the First National Bank of Barrington (Illinois) and the Chicago Federal Savings and Loan Association; and membership on the Board of Governors of the Illinois Crippled Children Society, 1941--42. Taylor also authored \"The Four-Way Test\", \"The Ten Marks of a Good Citizen\", \"The Twelve Marks of a True Christian\", and \"God Has A Plan For You\". He has been inducted into the American National Business Hall of Fame. He featured on the cover of *Newsweek*{{\'}}s 28 February 1955 issue.
A Methodist, he and his wife had two daughters, Gloria Beverly and Romona Estellene. He lived in Park Ridge, Illinois. Herbert Taylor died on 1 May 1978. At the time of his death he was Chairman of board emeritus of Club Aluminium Products Inc.
## The Four-Way Test {#the_four_way_test}
In the early 1930s Taylor set out to save the Club Aluminum Products distribution company from bankruptcy. He believed himself to be the only person in the company with 250 employees who had hope. His recovery plan started with changing the ethical climate of the company. He explained `{{cquote|The first job was to set policies for the company that would reflect the high ethics and morals God would want in any business. If the people who worked for Club Aluminum were to think right, I knew they would do right. What we needed was a simple, easily remembered guide to right conduct - a sort of ethical yardstick- which all of us in the company could memorize and apply to what we thought, said and did.
I searched through many books for the answer to our need, but the right phrases eluded me, so I did what I often do when I have a problem I can't answer myself: I turn to the One who has all the answers. I leaned over my desk, rested my head in my hands and prayed. After a few moments, I looked up and reached for a white paper card. Then I wrote down the twenty-four words that had come to me: ''1. Is it the truth? 2. Is it fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships? 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?''
I called it ''[[The Four-Way Test]]'' of the things we think, say or do.}}`{=mediawiki}
## Adoption of the test by Rotary {#adoption_of_the_test_by_rotary}
In 1940s, when Taylor was an international director of Rotary, he offered the Four Way Test to the organization, and it was adopted by Rotary for its internal and promotional use. Never changed, the twenty four word Four Way Test remains today a central part of the permanent Rotary structure throughout the world, and is held as the standard by which all behaviour should be measured. The Four Way Test has been promoted around the world and is used in myriad forms to encourage personal and business ethical practices. Taylor gave Rotary International the right to use the test in the 1940s and the copyright in 1954. He retained the rights to use the test for himself, his Club Aluminum Company and the Christian Workers Foundation

# Thomas Greiss
**Thomas Greiss** (born 29 January 1986) is a German professional ice hockey goaltender who currently plays for Löwen Frankfurt of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. Selected 94th overall in the third round of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks, he played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Sharks, Phoenix Coyotes, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Islanders, Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
Greiss is a native of Füssen, Germany. As a youth, he played in the 1999 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a team from Munich. He developed through the youth ranks of EV Füssen before heading to the Kölner Haie organization in 2002. He made his debut in the German top-flight Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) for the Cologne-based team during the 2003--04 campaign.
The San Jose Sharks selected Greiss in the third round, 94th overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. Greiss played for San Jose during the Sharks\' preseason games ahead of the 2007--08 season, though he was eventually assigned to the team\'s then-American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Worcester Sharks. On 8 January 2008, he was recalled to replace German compatriot Dimitri Pätzold as the backup goaltender to Evgeni Nabokov. Greiss started his first career NHL game on 13 January 2008, an eventual 4--3 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks. For the 2009--10 season, he served as the back-up goaltender to starter Nabokov.
On 12 October 2010, just prior to the commencement of the 2010--11 season, Greiss was put on waivers by San Jose, eventually clearing and reporting to Worcester of the AHL. Greiss\' demotion was in large part due to the off-season signings of Finnish goaltenders Antero Niittymäki and Antti Niemi. Nine days later, after failing to see any gameplay as Worcester\'s third-string goaltender, he was reassigned to Brynäs IF in the Swedish Elitserien to provide him regular playing time. In April 2011, Greiss was recalled from Brynäs to San Jose for the team\'s run in the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs. He later re-signed with the Sharks on 7 July.
For the Sharks\' 2011--12 season opener, Greiss was the team\'s starter in a 6--3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes in San Jose. He went on to start the next two games---losses to the Anaheim Ducks and St. Louis Blues---before Antti Niemi returned from off-season surgery. Later in the season, Greiss recorded his first career NHL shutout on 26 January 2013, recording 24 saves in a 4--0 win over the Colorado Avalanche.
Greiss became a free agent in July 2013 and subsequently signed a one-year contract with the Phoenix Coyotes. In his only season with Phoenix, he played in 25 games, posting a 2.25 goals against average (GAA) and .920 save percentage. At the end of the 2013--14 season, he was not re-signed by the Coyotes, whereupon he signed a one-year, \$1 million contract as an unrestricted free agent with the Pittsburgh Penguins on 1 July 2014. After the 2014--15 season in which he appeared in 20 games for the Penguins, Greiss once again switched teams as a free agent, signing with the New York Islanders on a two-year, \$3 million contract on 1 July 2015. In March 2016, Jaroslav Halák, the Islanders\' starting goaltender, suffered a lower-body injury sidelining him six weeks, leaving Greiss as the team\'s temporary starter.
In December 2016, the Islanders waived Halák, leaving Greiss and Jean-François Bérubé as the Islanders\' two goaltenders. On 30 January 2017, Greiss signed a three-year contract extension with the Islanders. On 15 January 2018, Greiss made a career-high 52 saves in a 5--4 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens.
On 10 October 2020, Greiss signed a two-year, \$7.2 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings. Greiss was named the NHL First Star of the Week for the week ending 3 May 2021. He stopped all 66 shots he faced across 130:00 of regulation and overtime. It marked the third time that Greiss had posted consecutive shutouts during his NHL career, and the first time a Detroit goaltender has accomplished the feat since Petr Mrázek did so in January 2018.
On 13 July 2022, Greiss signed as a free agent to a one-year, \$1.25 million contract with the St. Louis Blues. Featuring in his 14th NHL season in 2022--23, Greiss served as the Blues backup goaltender to Jordan Binnington, and posted seven wins through 21 appearances, as the Blues missed the postseason.
On 12 July 2023, as a free agent from the Blues and despite contract offers, Greiss announced his retirement from the NHL and his professional ice hockey career.
On September 25, 2024, Greiss announced his return to ice hockey by signing a short-term contract with Löwen Frankfurt, following the injuries of Juho Olkinuora and Cody Brenner.
## International play {#international_play}
In 2006, Greiss earned a roster spot on the German team for the 2006 Winter Olympics; at just 20 years of age, he was the youngest goaltender in the tournament. During the tournament, Greiss notably recorded an impressive 35-save performance against Canada.
Greiss was again named to the German squad for in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Greiss represented Germany at the 2017 IIHF World Championship. While at the event, he drew controversy for liking posts critical of Hillary Clinton on Twitter, including one comparing Clinton to Adolf Hitler.
In 2021, the German Ice Hockey Federation (DEB) announced that Greiss would no longer be representing Germany at international events, following Greiss\' Instagram posts about the death of controversial conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh.

# Qualified privilege
The defence of **qualified privilege** permits a person in a position of authority or trust to make statements or relay or report statements that would be considered slander and libel if made by anyone else.
## New Zealand and Canada {#new_zealand_and_canada}
In New Zealand and Ontario, for instance, cases of political libel are inhibited by permitting open discussion of an allegation or rumor, if conducted responsibly and with due care for the privacy of the person whose reputation would be affected. This privilege generally does not extend to repetition of discredited statements, malice, or comments made out of process or out of order in the organization or institution in which the position of authority is held.
## United Kingdom {#united_kingdom}
The defence of qualified privilege became very important in the UK, especially after a case involving allegations made by the *Sunday Times* against the Irish Taoiseach Albert Reynolds. During that case the judge outlined a ten-point test of \'responsible journalism\'. If reporters and editors followed these points, the judge said, they would enjoy a degree of protection from libel action, even if they could not prove factual allegations. The defence was abolished in England and Wales by the Defamation Act 2013, which replaced it with the statutory defences of *publication on a matter of public interest* and *peer-reviewed statements in a scientific or academic journal*.
To qualify for this defense, a report is required to be one of a public meeting or press conference that is:
- fair,
- accurate,
- published without malice,
- subject to the right of reply in the form of a letter that gives explanation or contradiction.
It need not be contemporaneous (depending on publication), where it has to be for absolute privilege

# David Kočí
**David Kočí** (born May 12, 1981) is a Czech former professional ice hockey player who is currently coaching within HC Sparta Praha in the Czech Extraliga. He previously played in the National Hockey League with the Chicago Blackhawks, Tampa Bay Lightning, St. Louis Blues and the Colorado Avalanche.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
Kočí was drafted 146th overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kočí played in the WHL with the Prince George Cougars in the 2000-01 season before turning professional for the 2001-02 season.
Kočí spent the next five years with the Penguins minor-league affiliates, between the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL. Prior to the 2006-07 season, Kočí signed with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 17, 2006.
Kočí was assigned to the Blackhawks affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, but made his NHL debut on March 10, 2007, against the Phoenix Coyotes, and amassed 32 penalty minutes in three fights. He lost his first fight to Josh Gratton, but managed to get a rematch in which he fared much better. He fought defenceman Nick Boynton as well. By the end of the 2006--07 season, David played in nine games and collected 88 penalty minutes.
During the Blackhawks\' loss to the Boston Bruins on October 25, 2007, Kočí got into one of the nastiest hockey brawls in recent hockey memory with Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chára. Kočí, who had broken his nose several days before, and Chára started punching each other; blood started to spatter from Kočí\'s nose. The Blackhawks placed Kočí on injured reserve and he missed about two weeks.
On July 1, 2008, Kočí signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning to a one-year deal. During the 2008--09 season, on October 21, 2008, David was claimed off waivers by St. Louis Blues after only playing one game for Tampa Bay. Kočí then returned to the Lightning after he was placed on waivers after 5 games with the Blues. Kočí scored his first NHL goal in a 3-2 defeat against the Montreal Canadiens on March 26, 2009. The puck was actually tapped in by a Canadiens player but credit was given to him.
On July 1, 2009, Kočí signed a one-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche. He scored his first goal with the Avalanche, and second career goal, when he unintentionally deflected in a Brett Clark shot in a 3-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on October 28, 2009. On December 15, 2009, during a 6-1 defeat to the Washington Capitals, Kočí raised ire after he was ejected from the game after a major boarding penalty on Capitals defenseman Mike Green. He was subsequently fined by the NHL. Kočí recorded 11 Fighting Majors before suffering a broken hand in a fight against D.J. King of the St. Louis Blues on February 8, 2010. He finished the 2009--10 season with a career-high 43 games and was re-signed to a one-year contract by the Avalanche on June 2, 2010.
A free agent, on September 1, 2011, Koci was invited to the Winnipeg Jets training Camp before he was released prior to the 2011--12 season on September 30, 2011. In returning to his native Czech Republic, he linked up with his former youth club, HC Sparta Praha, and made his long-awaited Czech Extraliga debut. In leading Sparta with 132 penalty minutes, Koci also contributed with 5 assists, to earn a one-year extension with the club on May 21, 2012.

# The Dark Side (Gregorian album)
***The Dark Side*** is Gregorian\'s sixth album, released between *Masters of Chant Chapter IV* and *Masters of Chant Chapter V*. Technically, it was followed by *The Masterpieces*, however, *The Masterpieces* is only a collection of previously released songs.
In some areas, the limited edition of *The Dark Side* was released as *Masters of Chant Chapter V* leading to some confusion when that title was used for the subsequent album.

## Economy
Na Kae district is the site of a shuttered 72 million baht solid waste facility built in 2011 and abandoned in 2013. In Ban Phon Sawan, the facility occupies 70 rai. It was designed to serve four districts: Na Kae, That Phanom, Renu Nakhon, and Wang Yang. It suspended operations two years after its launch due to high costs. The facility was designed to separate organic waste from other materials to be turned into fertiliser for sale. Absent the facility, local authorities are struggling to cope with 20 tonnes of garbage per day. Based on an auditor\'s findings, the facility cannot operate as intended and cannot be fixed or amended for other uses. The auditor recommended that an investigation be carried out to identify those responsible for the problem and seek the return of 72 million baht

# Kiplingcotes
**Kiplingcotes** is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 3.5 mi north-east of the market town of Market Weighton, and 3 mi to the west of Etton.
The hamlet is mentioned in the Domesday Book as *Climbicote*, having two ploughlands and belonging to the Archbishop of York. The name was most often written as two words (Kipling Cotes, or Kipling Coates), and means *The cottages of Cybbel\'s people*, Cybbel being an Old English personal name. It was originally part of the parish of Middleton on the Wolds, which was in the wapentake of Harthill. It is now split between the civil parishes of Dalton Holme and Etton, and is represented at Parliament as part of the Beverley and Holderness Constituency.
Kiplingcotes is the location for the annual Kiplingcotes Derby horse race. The 500th race took place on 21 March 2019.
The hamlet was served by Kiplingcotes railway station on the York to Beverley Line between 1865 and 1965.
In 1823 Kiplingcotes (then alternatively Kipling Coates House), a farmer was listed as the only inhabitant.
Kiplingcotes Chalk Pit Nature Reserve, to the west of the hamlet is managed by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.
In 1993, the name *Kiplingcotes* was removed from Ordnance Survey mapping, and Humberside County Council refused to place new signs directing people to the hamlet.

# French Prairie
**French Prairie** is located in Marion County, Oregon, United States, in the Willamette Valley between the Willamette River and the Pudding River, north of Salem. The prairie area roughly corresponds to the traditional land of the Kalapuya people much decimated by pandemics during the 1830s. The fertile land would become highly contended for. The area was subsequently named after some of the earliest settlers of that part of the Oregon Country, French Canadian/Métis people who were mostly former employees of the Hudson\'s Bay Company. \"French Prairie\" naming was first captured in writing in the early 1850s by a French Consul to California visiting Oregon. Pierre Charles Fournier de Saint-Amant referred to the area as \"les prairies françaises\". French Prairie is also known as an early Métis settlement in the Pacific Northwest history.
## History
### Early settlement (non-Indigenous) {#early_settlement_non_indigenous}
Wallace House was first established in 1812 by William Wallace Matthews and John C. Halsley. The Pacific Fur Company temporary outpost of Fort Astoria was located at the southern end of French Prairie, North of present-day city of Salem, Oregon. The Willamette Trading Post was established in 1814 by the North West Company near the site of Champoeg.
By 1829, Étienne Lucier was establishing a land claim nearby and starting to settle and retire with the help of its Hudson\'s Bay Company employer. Lucier was soon joined settling with Joseph Gervais (1831), Joseph Delore (1832), Pierre Belleque (1833) and others in the following years: J.B. Desportes McKay, J.B. Perrault, Louis Labonté, Amable Arquette, Pierre Dépôt and André Picard.
By 1836, sixteen Roman Catholic French Canadian settlers representing a group of 77 were petitioning Norbert Provencher, the Bishop of Juliopolis at the Red River Colony (present-day Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) to have a priest sent to them. Bishop François Norbert Blanchet finally arrived in 1838. A log cabin church previously erected by the fur traders was used for the first ever Catholic mass held in early 1839 with portion of the sermon conveyed in Chinook Jargon.
These first French Canadian settlers built hewn log homes in the French style and started wheat farms. The homes were built with clay and stick chimneys, ash bark roofs, and animal skin windows that were similar to the homes built on the eastern Canadian frontier. Houses and barns were built using the same building method square timbers \"Posts on a sill\" used by the HBC. By 1843, approximately 100 French Canadian/Métis families lived on the prairie.
The St. Louis Catholic Church located close to Gervais was built in 1845 by the original settlers of French Prairie and ranks amongst the oldest Oregon churches. The St. Paul Roman Catholic Church was built one year later and represents the oldest brick building still standing in the Pacific Northwest.
### Later settlement {#later_settlement}
For a short time in the 1880s the Oregonian Railway Company had a station named French Prairie about two miles southeast of the city of St. Paul.
### French Prairie today {#french_prairie_today}
The French Prairie area is still an important agricultural area of the Willamette Valley, and there is concern about urban development encroaching on arable land.
## Geography
Generally, the French Prairie is bounded by the Pudding River on the east, the Salem metropolitan area on the south, and the Willamette River on both the north and west as the Willamette makes a 90 degree turn to the south near Newberg. Settlements on French Prairie founded by French Canadians include Butteville, Champoeg, Gervais, Saint Louis, and St. Paul.

# Trane's Blues
***Trane\'s Blues*** is a compact disc credited to the jazz musician John Coltrane, released in 1999 on Blue Note Records, catalogue 98240. It comprises recordings from sessions for Blue Note and United Artists Records with Coltrane as a sideman for Paul Chambers, Sonny Clark, Johnny Griffin, and Cecil Taylor. These recordings were issued respectively on their *Whims of Chambers*, *Sonny\'s Crib*, *A Blowin\' Session*, and *Hard Driving Jazz* albums. Two selections are from Coltrane\'s own 1957 *Blue Train*, and \"One and Four\" had been previously unissued. \"Trane\'s Blues\" had been issued on the compilation *High Step* in 1975, previously known as \"John Paul Jones\" and named after himself, the bass player Chambers, and the drummer Philly Joe Jones. Like Prestige Records before them, as Coltrane\'s fame grew long after he had stopped recording for the label, Blue Note used varied recordings, often those where Coltrane had been merely a sideman, and reissued them as a new album with Coltrane\'s name prominently displayed. In this case, the Big Four conglomerate EMI continued that earlier practice.
## Reception
In review for AllMusic, Stephen Cook wrote: \"*Trane\'s Blues* will no doubt be of interest to fans looking beyond the tenor great\'s extensive Prestige, Atlantic, and Impulse! catalogs.\"

**Blacatz**, known in French genealogy as **Blacas de Blacas III** (1165--1237), was the feudal lord of Aups and a troubadour. Sordello composed a lament (*planh*) on his death, inviting the kings of his time to share and eat the heart of Blacatz and thus acquire a portion of his courage.
He was the father of the troubadour Blacasset

# Charles Buls
**Charles François Gommaire Buls** (*Karel Frans Gommaar Buls*; 13 October 1837 -- 13 July 1914) was a Belgian politician and mayor of the City of Brussels.
## Early life {#early_life}
Charles François Gommaire Buls was born in Brussels as the son of a goldsmith from the region of Mechelen. Buls received an artistic education, and spent a year in Paris, and nine months in Italy, studying fine arts. He also learned several languages including English, German, Italian and Latin, besides his mother tongue Dutch. He followed in his father\'s footsteps and worked as a goldsmith.
In 1862, he became a Freemason in *Les vrais amis*, and in 1871 joined *La libre pensée*. At the same time, he was a member of *de Veldbloem* and *Vlamingen vooruit*, two Flemish organisations of the Flemish movement. Together with his brother in law, Leo Van der Kindere, the later mayor of Uccle, he became a \"flamingant\".
## Politics
Buls entered politics in 1870 as a Flemish candidate on a radical list but he was not elected until 1877, when he was elected to the Brussels City Council on a liberal list. He became schepen or échevin of education in 1879. Buls was a supporter of progressive causes, especially in language issues and education, and the education of women, on which he wrote frequently. He was a supporter of Isabelle Gatti de Gamond\'s educational reforms. From 1879 on he played an important role in the development of Flemish education in Brussels.
On the national stage, Buls served in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives in 1882, and again from 1886 to 1894.
Buls became mayor of Brussels in 1881 and remained in office until 1899. At his initiative, policemen had to be able to speak both French and Dutch and bilingual signposting was established throughout the city. However, along with these reforms, his most lasting achievement was the result of his opposition to the grandiose architectural schemes of King Leopold II, and the resulting preservation of old parts of Brussels. In particular, Buls was a steadfast defender and admirer of the Mont des Arts/Kunstberg and the Grand-Place/Grote Markt, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, successfully proposing the 1883 city ordinance protecting the façades of the Grand-Place buildings and providing funds for their restoration, which took place between 1883 and 1923. In 1899, the architects of Brussels who had been involved in this restoration work paid for a memorial commemorating Buls, designed by Victor Horta and executed by Victor Rousseau, to be placed in the rebuilt `{{Interlanguage link|''L'Étoile''/''De Sterre''|fr|Maison de l'Étoile}}`{=mediawiki} guildhall on the Grand-Place. At the reopening of the restored Town Hall, Buls greeted Leopold II in Dutch, and the King replied in the same language, which was unusual at the time. In 1999, a new fountain with a larger-than-life-sized seated statue of Buls and his dog was erected at the Place Agoraplein, close to the Grand-Place.
Buls was an accomplished and prolific author, not merely on educational and artistic issues but also publishing accounts of his travels abroad

# Paul Benson
**Paul Andrew Benson** (born 12 October 1979) is an English former professional footballer and coach who played as a striker; he last played for `{{English football updater|BedfordT}}`{=mediawiki} club Bedford Town.
## Career
### Dagenham & Redbridge {#dagenham_redbridge}
Born in Southend, Essex, Benson was on the books of Southend United as a youth player. He was signed by Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still on 1 July 2005 after Still saw him play for White Ensign of the Essex Olympian League, where he scored 96 goals in 59 league matches (107 goals in 65 matches in all competitions) in just two seasons with the club. Benson\'s first season with Dagenham was frustrating as he was not a regular first-team player, scoring only one Conference National goal, and was out for three months with a broken leg. However, the 2006--07 season saw a complete reversal, as he earned a spot in Dagenham\'s first-team and finished the season as both the team and Conference National top scorer with 28 goals, leading the club\'s successful campaign for promotion to League Two. The following year, Dagenham\'s first in the Football League, Benson scored nine goals, though was injured for half the season.
The 2008--09 season saw Benson end in the top five goal scorers in League Two and come second in the player of the season poll for Dagenham. At the end of the 2009--10 season, Benson scored a goal at Wembley Stadium as Dagenham defeated Rotherham United in the play-off final to clinch a place in League One for the 2010--11 season.
### Charlton Athletic {#charlton_athletic}
On 31 August 2010, Benson completed a move to League One club Charlton Athletic. After making 27 appearances and scoring 10 goals for Charlton in his first season, Benson\'s first-team chances were limited behind Charlton strikers Paul Hayes, Bradley Wright-Phillips, Jason Euell and Yann Kermorgant. Notts County made a bid to sign him, which Charlton accepted, although the move collapsed after they failed to agree personal terms. On 2 January 2012, Benson transferred to Swindon Town as part of a swap deal in exchange for Leon Clarke.
### Swindon Town {#swindon_town}
Benson joined a Swindon team chasing promotion to League One. His arrival coincided with a 10-match winning run which was the platform from which the *Robins*\' won the title under the guidance of Paolo Di Canio. Benson\'s first goal for Swindon came when he scored the winner in their FA Cup third-round victory over Premier League team Wigan Athletic, although replays showed he was in an offside position. Benson\'s goalscoring form was rewarded on 9 March 2012 when he was named League Two Player of the Month for February after scoring five goals in five matches and being widely praised by manager Paolo Di Canio. Di Canio, in a post-match press conference, was quoted as saying that \"Paul Benson at 70% is better than any other striker in this league at 150%\". On 28 April 2012, he scored twice as Swindon beat Port Vale 5--0 and were crowned champions of League Two in the process.
On 15 November 2012, Benson joined League One club Portsmouth on an initial one-month loan. His first goal came in a Boxing Day home league match against Crawley Town. In the following match he netted again, against Yeovil Town. He returned to Swindon in January 2013.
Benson then joined League Two club Cheltenham Town on 29 January 2013 in a loan move until the end of the 2012--13 season. He made his debut four days later in a 2--1 victory over Torquay United. Benson scored his first goal for the club on 12 February, tapping the ball past goalkeeper Paul Smith in another 2--1 victory, this time against Southend United. He ended the season with four goals in 18 appearances for the club.
### Luton Town {#luton_town}
On 26 August 2013, Benson signed for Conference Premier club Luton Town on a season-long loan, with the possibility of a permanent transfer taking place in the summer of 2014. This move saw him link back up with his former Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still, now in charge of Luton. Benson made his debut for the club on 31 August 2013, winning a penalty in a 2--0 away win over Kidderminster Harriers. He was named as the Conference Premier Player of the Month in December 2013 after scoring four goals in four matches and contributing to numerous other goals with his hold-up play. Benson played a key role as Luton won promotion to League Two, scoring 17 league goals and assisting 14 others throughout the 2013--14 season. His strike partnership with Andre Gray resulted in the two scoring 47 goals between them -- almost half of Luton\'s total league goals.
After his successful loan spell at Luton during the 2013--14 season, Benson signed a permanent two-year contract with the club on 22 July 2014. Benson scored his only league goal of the season in a 3--0 win over Mansfield Town on 29 November 2014, but also broke his leg during the match. He returned to the squad later in the season and made a total of 24 appearances in all competitions.
On 10 May 2016, it was announced that Benson would not have his contract renewed. He left the club upon the expiry of his contract.
### Return to Dagenham & Redbridge {#return_to_dagenham_redbridge}
Benson re-signed for Dagenham & Redbridge who were newly relegated into the National League, on an initial one-year contract on 6 August 2016. He made his second debut three days later as a 77th-minute substitute in a 3--0 defeat away to Chester. His first goal came in a 2--1 win away to Dover Athletic on 3 December, and this was followed up with a goal in the following match, a 2--1 defeat at home to Worthing in the FA Trophy first round. Benson played in both legs of the play-off semi-final defeat to Forest Green Rovers, losing 3--1 on aggregate, and finished the season with 37 appearances and six goals. He was released by Dagenham & Redbridge when his contract expired at the end of 2016--17.

# Alois Riedler
**Alois Riedler** (May 15, 1850 - October 25, 1936) was a noted Austrian mechanical engineer, and, as professor in Germany, a vigorous proponent of practically oriented engineering education.
## Career
Riedler was born in Graz, Austria, and studied mechanical engineering at the Technische Hochschule (TH) Graz from 1866 to 1871. After graduation he took on a succession of academic appointments. He first became an assistant at the TH Brünn (1871-1873); then in 1873 moved to the TH Vienna, first as an assistant, then from 1875 onwards as a designer of machines. From 1880 to 1883, Riedler worked as associate professor at the TH Munich. In 1883 he became full professor at the TH Aachen.
In 1888 he joined the Technische Hochschule Berlin as Professor for Mechanical Engineering, where he remained until retirement in 1921. From 1899 to 1900, he was appointed the school\'s principal (rector) and led discussions on how to celebrate its 100th anniversary. As a result, Riedler and Adolf Slaby (1849--1913) convinced Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859--1941) to allow Prussian *Technische Hochschulen* to award doctorates. Although the government did not immediately consent, this effort led eventually to the school\'s reconstitution as today\'s Technische Universität Berlin.
Riedler first received international recognition for his reports on the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition (1876) and Paris Exposition Universelle (1878). He was later widely known for his efficient, high-speed pumps widely adopted in waterworks and in draining mines.
In 1893 Riedler and some employees traveled to World\'s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. He delivered a detailed report on American institutes of technology and their labs which he deemed more suitable for engineering education. Riedler was heavily involved in the following reform process with regard to technical education. In 1896, Riedler established the first German mechanical engineering lab which was located in Charlottenburg. In the following years technical labs were established at all the other German TH as well and the study program became more practice oriented.
Alois Riedler was also known for his 1896 book \"Das Maschinen-Zeichnen\", (Machine Drawing) which introduced modern technical drawing.
Riedler was actively involved in the early development of internal combustion engines, both for gasoline and diesel fuel. In 1903 he established the Laboratory for Internal Combustion Engines at the TH Berlin, expanded in 1907 to include investigations of motor vehicles. As laboratory director, Riedler designed a pioneering roller test stand. He also received what was probably the first research contract to investigate fuels specifically for aircraft engines (particularly benzene).
Alois Riedler also tried to establish an academy of technical sciences. Despite the emperor\'s support those efforts failed.
## Private life {#private_life}
Alois Riedler was married to *Fritza*, née Friederike Langer. Fritza was born on September 9 1860 in Berlin. Together with her siblings Paul, Emilie and Alfons she owned a house in Vienna. Alois and Fritza therefore had residences in Berlin and Vienna. Riedler declined an appointment to the TH in Vienna in 1903, where he was supposed to succeed Leopold von Hauffe. Riedler claimed that the German Emperor himself fervently asked him to stay in Berlin. In 1921 the Riedlers moved to Vienna for good.
Fritza is well-known for Gustav Klimt's painting of her. In 1906 Klimt depictured her in oil on canvas based on a series of more than 20 sketches. Fritza, who passed away in 1927, and Alois had no descendants. In 1937, Emilie Langer sold Klimt's portrait to the Belvedere collection.
## Honours
In 1897 Riedler received the Grashof medal, the German Engineers\' Association\'s highest honor. The Austrian Engineers\' and Architects\' Association appointed him honorary member in 1900 and awarded him their gold medal in 1931. In 1904 he was awarded the Order of Franz Joseph in the rank of a *Commander with Star*. In 1911 his alma mater TH Graz awarded him an honorary doctorate

# List of parks in Omaha, Nebraska
This is a **list of parks in Omaha, Nebraska**. It includes cemeteries and golf courses. Most parks in Omaha are governed by the City of Omaha Parks and Recreation Department.
## History
In 1854 Alfred D. Jones drew four parks on the original map of Omaha City. They were called Jefferson Square, which was paved over by I-480; Washington Park, which is where the Paxton Block currently sits at North 16th and Farnam Streets; Capitol Square, where Omaha Central High School is now located, and; an unnamed tract overlooking the river with Davenport Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, North 8th on the east and North 9th Street on the west. Jefferson Square lasted until 1969, when it was razed to make way for a new interstate in downtown Omaha. The riverfront from the interstate south to the headquarters of ConAgra Foods is now the Heartland of America Park.
Hanscom Park became Omaha\'s first park. Miller, Fontenelle, Elmwood and Riverview were Omaha\'s largest parks in 1920. (Riverview Park Zoo eventually became Henry Doorly Zoo.) Levi Carter Park was its largest, at 220 acre. Other parks in the system that year were Bemis, Deer, Kountze Park, Curtis Turner, Harold Gifford, Mercer, Jefferson Square, Hixenbaugh, Burt playground, Bluff View, Spring Lake, Highland, McKinley, Clear View and Morton.
Omaha\'s boulevard system was designed to be part of the parks system in 1889 by renowned landscape architect Horace Cleveland. The Omaha Park and Boulevard System was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
## Administration
The Department of Parks, Recreation, and Public Property is the City of Omaha\'s agency responsible for administering public parks.

# Live at Birdland (John Coltrane album)
***Live at Birdland**\'\' (titled on the cover***Coltrane live at Birdland**\'\') is an album by the jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane. It was released on January 9, 1964, through Impulse! Records. Three of its tracks were recorded live at the Birdland club and two are studio recordings. Among them is \"Alabama\", a tribute to four black children killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, a white supremacist terrorist attack in Birmingham, Alabama.
The album\'s original pressing accidentally included a false start; this was corrected in later copies but restored in CD editions. The album also features a live recording of \"I Want to Talk About You\", a song Coltrane had recorded on his 1958 album *Soultrane*, this time with an extended cadenza.
## Reception
Scott Yanow\'s five-star AllMusic review calls the recording \"\[a\]rguably John Coltrane\'s finest all-around album\". A review in *All About Jazz* states: \"*Coltrane Live at Birdland* showcases \'The Great Quartet\' in excellent form: Elvin banging and cursin\', McCoy a steady force maintaining the form, Jimmy Garrison pacing the beat and Coltrane stretching out into space filling the void\... A definite collectors\' item.\" Reviewer C. Michael Bailey wrote: \"If the listener wishes to hear the master in transition, look no further than *Coltrane Live at Birdland.*\" LeRoi Jones wrote: \"There is a daringly human quality to John Coltrane\'s music that makes itself felt, wherever he records. If you can hear, this music will make you think of a lot of weird and wonderful things. You might even become one of them.\" In 2017, *Pitchfork* ranked the album as the 128th best of the 1960s.
The journalist Ben Ratliff wrote of \"Alabama\": \"It is a striking piece of music. If anyone wants to begin to understand how Coltrane could inspire so much awe so quickly, the reason is probably inside \'Alabama\'. The incantational tumult he could raise in a long improvisation, the steel-trap knowledge of harmony, the writing---that\'s all very impressive. But \'Alabama\' is also an accurate psychological portrait of a time, a complicated mood that nobody else could render so well.\"
## Track listing {#track_listing}

# Spencer Nelson
**Spencer Howells Nelson** (*Spenser Hauels Nelson*, born July 11, 1980) is an American-born Azerbaijani naturalized former professional basketball player. At 6\'8\", he played at both small forward and power forward, although he was mainly considered a power forward.
## High school {#high_school}
Spencer attended Pocatello High School and was named the Idaho A-1 Player of the Year as a senior in 1998. He averaged 22 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and two blocks per game as a senior. Hit 43.3 percent of his three-pointers and sank 73.0 percent of his free throws as a senior. As a junior, he averaged 14.1 points, 10.3 rebounds and shot 62.5 percent from the field. Earned second-team all-state honors and first-team all-region honors as a junior. Spencer had a notoriously loud and raucous group of fans in high school he named \"The Sixth Man\" which provided a home court advantage even on away games. Spencer\'s abilities were not limited to the basketball court as he was a four-year letterwinner in tennis, claiming the men\'s doubles state championship in 1998 and finishing third in mixed doubles in 1997.
## College
After his freshman year, he went on a two-year mission to Oklahoma, serving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Upon his return, he became one of the Big West Conference\'s best players.
Nelson had a stellar career as an Aggie and was named to the Utah State University All-Century Team while still playing for Utah State.
## Professional basketball {#professional_basketball}
After graduating in 2005, he was not drafted in the 2005 NBA draft. However, he was invited to try out for the Utah Jazz. He was an immediate fan favorite because of his success at Utah State. Despite playing well, Nelson was not chosen for the final roster, but was immediately offered a spot playing for GHP Bamberg in Germany. In 2006, instead of seeing if he\'d make the final roster for the Jazz, Nelson chose to play for Benetton Treviso, a team that he made an outstanding performance against while playing with Bamberg in the Euroleague (he scored 23 points, pulled down 20 rebounds and delivered 7 assists) in a 92-85 home win. Nelson\'s good performance helped the team qualify for the top 16 phase, the first ever German team to accomplish this achievement.\
After spending one season with Treviso, mainly coming from the bench, Nelson transferred to Climamio Bologna, also in Italy. On 26 January 2010 he stated that GHP Bamberg (Germany) was his favourite professional club he played for. He also told a local radio station to send greetings to the fans of his former club.

# Etton, East Riding of Yorkshire
**Etton** is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 mi north-west of Beverley town centre and 2 mi west of the village of Leconfield. 1 mi to the south-east is Cherry Burton. To the west lie the hamlets of Kiplingcotes (3 mi away due west) and Gardham (1.5 mi to the south-west). South Dalton lies 1.5 miles to the north-west.
The village itself lies to the west of the B1248 road in its own shallow dale. The village\'s buildings are almost entirely situated either side of Main Street. Along this street lie both the village pub and the parish church of St Mary, which is a Grade II\* listed building.
The civil parish is formed by the village of Etton and part of the hamlet of Kiplingcotes. According to the 2011 UK Census, Etton parish had a population of 277, a decrease on the 2001 UK Census figure of 285.
Etton is significant as the 1584 birthplace of Rev John Lothropp, founder of Barnstable, Massachusetts. Thomas Carling, who emigrated from Etton to Canada in 1818, used \'a recipe from his native Yorkshire\' to found the Carling Brewery in 1840.
Etton is also home to the Holderness Hunt, whose kennels are located on the south-east of the village.
In 1823 Etton was in the Wapentake of Harthill. The village had a population of 380, with occupations including nine farmers, two shopkeepers, a carpenter & wheelwright, a boot & shoe maker, a tailor, a corn miller, and the landlord of the Light Dragoon public house. There were two gentlemen, one gentlewoman, a Lady, a vicar, and a schoolmaster who was also the parish clerk. Once a week two carriers operated between the village and Beverley. The patron of the village Church of St Mary was the Archbishop of York.
Etton has been known to suffer quite badly during floods, due to its position in a small valley, with the most recent flood on 25 June 2007

# Vadim Sharifijanov
**Vadim Rimovich Sharifijanov** (*Вадим Римович Шарифьянов*; born December 23, 1975) is a Russian former professional ice hockey right winger who spent parts of three seasons in the National Hockey League with the New Jersey Devils and the Vancouver Canucks.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
Sharifijanov burst onto the international hockey scene in 1992, when he was named a tournament all-star after scoring 8 goals in 6 games at the European U18 Championships at the age of only 16. After two solid seasons with Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the Russian Super League, he was selected in the first round (25th overall) of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils. He spent one more year in Russia with HC CSKA Moscow before coming to North America, and also turned in a stellar performance at the 1995 World Junior Championships, recording 10 points in 7 games.
Sharifijanov joined the Albany River Rats, New Jersey\'s AHL affiliate, after the Russian season ended in 1995, and scored 2 points in his first North American professional game. However, his progress to the NHL would be slow in a deep New Jersey system, and his first three full seasons were spent almost entirely in Albany, appearing in only 2 NHL games during the 1996--97 campaign.
In 1998--99, Sharifijanov was finally promoted to the Devils and turned in a highly successful rookie season, recording 11 goals and 27 points in just 53 games. Stocky and strong on the puck, he displayed a well-rounded all-around game and a solid touch around the net.
However, in 1999--2000 his play fell off considerably. After scoring just 3 goals in 20 games for the Devils, and showing a marked drop-off in his defensive play, Sharifijanov was shipped to the Vancouver Canucks for a draft pick. In Vancouver, he made an instant impact, scoring a goal on his first shift as a Canuck, but it was all downhill from there as he quickly became a healthy scratch and earned a reputation for lazy play. He finished the season with just 5 goals and 10 points in 37 games, as well as a +/- rating of a dismal -13.
The 2000--01 season would prove no better, as Sharifijanov failed to crack the Canucks\' roster out of training camp and was assigned to the Kansas City Blades of the International Hockey League, where he spent the entire season. Released by the Canucks, Sharifijanov returned to Russia. He would continue to struggle in Russia, however, and would suit up for 6 different Super League teams in the next three seasons without making any significant impact for any of them. After brief stints in France and Sweden, Sharifijanov signed on with Sputnik Nizhny Tagil of the Supreme Hockey League in 2005.
In 92 NHL games, Sharifijanov recorded 16 goals and 21 assists for 37 points, along with 50 penalty minutes. His sudden decline in ability while still a young player remains unexplained - at age 23, he was a key young player on an elite NHL team, and by the time he turned 26 he was already unable to hold down a regular job in the Russian Superleague.

# Sringara
**Sringara** (*शृङ्गार*, `{{IAST|śṛṅgāra}}`{=mediawiki}) is one of the nine rasas, usually translated as erotic love, romantic love, or as attraction or beauty. *Rasa* means \"flavour\", and the theory of rasa is the primary concept behind classical Indian arts including theatre, music, dance, poetry, and sculpture. Much of the content of traditional Indian arts revolves around the relationship between a man and a woman. The primary emotion thus generated is Sringara. The romantic relationship between lover and beloved is a metaphor for the relationship between the individual and the divine.
Classical theater/dancers (i.e. Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Mohiniyattam) refer to Sringara as \'the Mother of all rasas.\' Sringara gives scope for a myriad of other emotions including jealousy, fear, anger, compassion, and of course for the expression of physical intimacy. No other Rasa has such a vast scope.
The treatment and performance of Sringara varies on a large scale from the grotesque (as in Koodiyattam) to very refined and subtle (as in some styles of Bharatanatyam, or in Odissi).
The attraction between lover and beloved is a metaphor for the relationship between the individual and the divine, the Nara-Narayana relationship. Natya Shastra lists Vishnu as the presiding deity of the Sringara rasa

# Betty Hamilton
**Betty Hamilton** (1904--1994) was a British Trotskyist.
Born **Berthe Dutoit** in the Valais area of French Switzerland, the daughter of a socialist engineer, Hamilton moved to Paris as a young woman. There, she worked as a fashion journalist and, in the left-wing ferment of the early 1930s, became associated with the early Trotskyist movement and with others such as the Greek archaeo-Marxists. She moved to London in the 1930s, working as a dance teacher and moving in radical art and music circles, then as an industrial worker during the war when she was also the secretary of Newark Labour Party. Maintaining her links with Trotskyists in Paris (including Pierre Frank) she had a key role in linking British and French Trotskyists during and just after the Second World War. During the war she sheltered emigres from Europe in London. Later she ran her own business importing industrial diamonds which enabled her to help finance the Healy wing of the British Trotskyists.
From Hamilton\'s arrival in England, she was a member of various Trotskyist groupings, including the early Militant Group, the Workers\' International League and the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).
Hamilton joined Gerry Healy\'s split from the RCP, which became The Club and later the Socialist Labour League (SLL). The SLL was part of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI). Hamilton was for many years closely linked with Gerry Healy but, in 1971, she sided with Pierre Lambert and the French OCI Internationalist Communist Organisation when the ICFI split into two, ostensibly over the place of philosophy in Marxist theory, but equally about control of the ICFI after the OCI grew to be larger than the SLL in the late 1960s. She remained a formal but dissident member of the SLL until the formation of the Bulletin Group in 1974-5. She took public stands as a Trotskyist, condemning Healy\'s allegations that Joseph Hansen, one of the American Socialist Workers Party leaders, was a CIA agent.
Hamilton co-founded the **British Committee for the Reconstruction of the Fourth International** (BCRFI) after disagreements with Robin Blick and John Archer within the Bulletin Group, which then split. She later joined the Socialist Labour Group when the two sections of the original Bulletin Group joined together again in 1980. She maintained an active membership of the Labour Party for most of her life in Britain, in North London, in Newark during the war and, from the 1940s until old age, in Westminster.
She was the aunt of Charles Dutoit, the conductor.
Betty had her son Jacques (1927) in Paris and her daughter Lorna in 1930

# 2007 New York Jets season
The 2007 season was the New York Jets\' 38th in the National Football League (NFL), their 48th season overall and their second under head coach Eric Mangini. The team attempted to improve upon their 10 wins in the 2006 season, but only finished with a 4--12 record. `{{TOC limit|3}}`{=mediawiki}
## Offseason

James Hodgins Running back UFA
Rashad Moore Defensive tackle RFA No qualifying offer Patriots
Sean Ryan Tight end RFA Fifth-round pick Jets
Wade Smith Center UFA March 10 Jets
Cody Spencer Linebacker RFA Sixth-round pick Jets
#### Signings
The Jets signed defensive end Michael Haynes on March 22. Haynes played three seasons with the Chicago Bears, but was cut before the beginning of last season.
Marques Tuiasosopo was signed by the Jets on March 23 after spending six seasons with the Oakland Raiders. He and Kellen Clemens will compete for the role of backup quarterback behind starter Chad Pennington.
Among the more notable free agent signings during the offseason was the acquisition of defensive end Andre Wadsworth on March 26. Wadsworth was the third overall pick in the 1998 NFL draft, but had been out of football since 2000 --- when he was cut by the Arizona Cardinals --- due to several knee injuries and subsequent operations that kept him off the field.
#### Departures
The Jets released backup quarterback Patrick Ramsey on March 2. Ramsey was slated to be the primary backup behind Chad Pennington in 2006, but only played one snap under center during the regular season.
Perhaps the most expected departure was the retirement of Curtis Martin on July 26. Martin was the fourth-leading rusher in NFL history at the time of his retirement with 14,101 yards. He hadn\'t played since week 12 of the 2005 season with a bone-on-bone knee injury ending his season. He was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list last season before being placed on injured reserve in week 8.
#### Trades
The Jets addressed a need at running back on March 6 by acquiring Thomas Jones from the Chicago Bears. The Jets\' rushing offense ranked among the bottom teams in the NFL in 2006. In addition to Jones, the Jets received the 63rd pick in the 2007 NFL draft, in exchange for the Jets\' 37th pick, which the Jets acquired from the Washington Redskins last year. Jones then signed a four-year, \$20 million deal with the team.
On August 23, the Jets agreed to trade disgruntled offensive lineman Pete Kendall to the Redskins, in exchange for the Redskins' fifth-round pick in the 2008 NFL draft, which could become their fourth-round pick in 2009 depending on how much Kendall plays this season. Kendall had asked the Jets for a \$1 million raise to his \$1.7 million 2007 salary, which the Jets had refused, since Kendall had already renegotiated his contract prior to the 2006 season. He subsequently asked to be traded or released, and made his frustrations known to the media. During the preseason, Kendall practiced at center and played at that position in the Jets\' preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings on August 17. The experiment resulted in two botched shotgun snaps for the Jets, one of which was converted into a defensive touchdown for the Vikings.
### 2007 NFL draft {#nfl_draft}
The Jets were granted the 25th pick in the first round of the annual college draft. The draft took place on April 28 and 29 in New York City.
The team was especially busy on draft day, making two big moves to move up in the order. First, they traded the 25th pick in the first round, along with their second (59th overall) and fifth-round (164th) picks to the Carolina Panthers for their first-round (14th) and sixth-round (191st) picks. They used the 14th pick on cornerback Darrelle Revis from the University of Pittsburgh. Later, they traded their other second-round pick (63rd) with their third (89th) and the sixth-round pick acquired from Carolina to the Green Bay Packers for their second (47th) and seventh-round (235th) picks. The four players taken by the Jets represent the smallest draft class in franchise history.
Revis initially did not attend the Jets' training camp, as he was still in the midst of negotiating his contract. He eventually signed a six-year, \$36 million contract on August 15, 21 days after camp had started. Revis was the second-to-last first-round pick to sign a contract with a team, with JaMarcus Russell of the Oakland Raiders the only holdout remaining afterwards. Revis was the first draftee not signed before training camp by the Jets since James Farrior in 1997, and had the longest holdout since Keyshawn Johnson in 1996.

## Regular season {#regular_season}
Matchups were determined at the end of the previous season through the league\'s scheduling formula. In addition to two games each against their traditional AFC East rivals, the team will face teams from the AFC North and NFC East. The Jets will also host the Kansas City Chiefs, marking Herman Edwards\' first game against his former team since leaving after the 2005 season, and visit the Tennessee Titans.
The schedule was officially released on April 11. One game---the Jets\' Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys---was announced with the league\'s opening weekend games on March 26. Game times from weeks 11 through 17 (excluding the aforementioned Cowboys game) were subject to change in accordance with the NFL\'s flexible scheduling policy. Two games wound up being affected: the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was moved from a 1:00 p.m. Eastern time start to 4:05 p.m.; the game against the Chiefs was moved from NBC Sunday Night Football to a 4:15 p.m. start on CBS.

### Week 1: vs. New England Patriots {#week_1_vs._new_england_patriots}
#### Game summary {#game_summary}
The Jets began their 2007 campaign at home for a Week 1 divisional match-up with the New England Patriots. In the first quarter, New York immediately trailed as QB Tom Brady completed an 11-yard touchdown pass to WR Wes Welker for the only score of the period. In the second quarter, the Jets tied the game with QB Chad Pennington completing a 7-yard touchdown pass to WR Laveranues Coles. However, the Patriots retook the lead with Brady completing a 5-yard touchdown pass to TE Benjamin Watson.
On the opening kickoff for the third quarter, New York trailed even more as CB Ellis Hobbs returned the kickoff an NFL record 108 yards for a touchdown. Afterwards, New England continued his onslaught as Brady completed a 51-yard touchdown pass to WR Randy Moss. The Jets got their last score of the game when Pennington and Coles hooked up again on a 1-yard touchdown pass. In the fourth quarter, the Patriots took over for the rest of the game as kicker Stephen Gostkowski nailed a 22-yard field goal, while FB Heath Evans ended the game with a 1-yard touchdown run.
With the loss, the Jets began their season at 0--1 while the Patriots began 1--0.

#### Video taping incident {#video_taping_incident}
On September 10, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was accused by the Jets of authorizing his staff to film the Jets\' defensive signals from an onfield location, a violation of league rules. The Jets confiscated the video camera used by video assistant Matt Estrella to film the signals during the game and filed a complaint to the league office, detailing the accusations.
On September 13, Belichick was officially fined \$500,000, while the Patriots were also fined \$250,000 and forfeited their first round draft pick in the 2008 NFL draft. If the Patriots had missed the playoffs, they would have instead forfeited their second and third round selections in the 2008 draft. Goodell said that he fined the Patriots as a team because Belichick is effectively the team\'s general manager as well as head coach and exercises so much control over the Patriots\' on-field operations that \"his actions and decisions are properly attributed to the club.\" Goodell considered suspending Belichick, but decided that taking away draft picks would be more severe in the long run.
Belichick later issued a statement in which he apologized for what he called a \"mistake\" in his interpretation of the rules. However, he denied ever using video tape to gain an advantage while a game was underway.

### Week 2: at Baltimore Ravens {#week_2_at_baltimore_ravens}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_1}
Though Chad Pennington was active and in uniform for the Jets, the team erred on the side of caution due to injured right ankle, instead starting second-year backup Kellen Clemens, who was making his first career start. The Ravens' defense welcomed him rudely on his first drive with an interception by Ed Reed. The Ravens were able to attain good field position consistently throughout the first half, and quarterback Kyle Boller (who himself was starting in place of an injured starting quarterback, Steve McNair), capitalized with a two-yard touchdown to Willis McGahee late in the first quarter. The teams traded field goals to start the second quarter; Jets kicker Mike Nugent hit a 50-yard field goal, followed by Matt Stover hitting a 28-yard attempt for the Ravens. After Stover missed a 46-yard try, the Jets tried to respond with Nugent attempting a 52-yard field goal, but Nugent missed wide left, his first miss in 20 attempts dating back to last season. Boller once again took advantage of the short field provided and hit tight end Todd Heap on a four-yard touchdown with six seconds left in the half to extend the Ravens' lead to 17--3. Heap\'s catch was initially ruled incomplete, but the call was subjected to a booth review and reversed, as replays showed he was able to touch both feet within the end zone.
After a quiet third quarter, Stover hit a 43-yard field goal to start the fourth quarter, and extended Baltimore\'s lead to 17. Baltimore\'s defense, which ranked as the best in the NFL in 2006, was able to shut down Clemens and the Jets for most of the game, but Clemens was able to rally the team in the fourth quarter. Using a no huddle offense, Clemens drove the team down to the Baltimore three-yard line, before the Jets settled for a 21-yard field goal. On the Jets\' next possession, 44 and 24-yard strikes by Clemens to Jerricho Cotchery got the Jets to the Ravens' goal line, where he found tight end Chris Baker for a three-yard touchdown, cutting the Jets\' deficit to seven. Though the Jets failed to convert the ensuing onside kick, poor clock management by Boller gave the Jets the ball back with 2:38 left in the game. Clemens immediately found Cotchery on a 50-yard catch-and-run, later followed by a 24-yard pass to Laveranues Coles that brought the Jets' to the Baltimore seven-yard line with just over a minute to go. Clemens passed to Justin McCareins for a potential touchdown, but the pass was dropped by McCareins. A second pass to McCareins in the end zone deflected off him and into the arms of Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis for the game-ending interception. The loss meant the Jets had gone 8--20 since 2002 in games not started by Chad Pennington.

### Week 3: vs. Miami Dolphins {#week_3_vs._miami_dolphins}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_2}
Chad Pennington returned under center for the Jets, as they attempted to get their first win of the season against another winless team, the Miami Dolphins. The Jets' offense got going toward the end of the first quarter with a three-yard touchdown pass from Pennington to Laveranues Coles. The Dolphins responded swiftly as Trent Green and Ronnie Brown led the team on a three-minute drive that culminated on a one-yard run by Brown to tie the score at seven. However, the Jets wasted little time reclaiming the lead. Leon Washington received the ensuing kickoff at the two-yard line and returned it 98 yards for a touchdown and a 14--7 lead. The Dolphins crept back with field goals of 31 and 39 yards by Jay Feely on their next two possessions. Pennington kept the Dolphins at bay with a successful two-minute drill, finding tight end Chris Baker on a four-yard touchdown to close the first half and give the Jets a 21--13 halftime lead.
The Jets attempted to further their lead opening the third quarter, but were stopped short of the goal line and had to settle for a 21-yard Mike Nugent field goal. The Dolphins tried to respond, but the Jets' defense forced their first takeaway of the season on the ensuing drive, an interception by Kerry Rhodes. Pennington led his offense downfield with the help of several Thomas Jones running plays before he ran into the end zone to give the Jets a 31--13 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Miami did not go down quietly, however. Green quickly marched the Dolphins downfield to set up Brown\'s two-yard touchdown run. The Dolphins elected to attempt a two-point conversion to cut their deficit to ten; using a Statue of Liberty play, Brown walked into the end zone to complete the conversion. Although the Jets shed several minutes off the clock on their following possession, the Dolphins got the ball back and again were able to move swiftly downfield, where Brown scored his third touchdown on a 22-yard pass from Green. The Dolphins needed to recover an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff to have a chance to tie or win the game, but, despite a penalty moving the ball up 10 yards, were unsuccessful, and Pennington knelt out the clock to give the Jets their first victory of the season.

### Week 4 at Bills {#week_4_at_bills}
Coming off a divisional home win over the Dolphins, the Jets flew to Ralph Wilson Stadium for an AFC East showdown with the winless Buffalo Bills. After a scoreless first half, New York trailed in the third quarter as Bills RB Marshawn Lynch got a 10-yard touchdown run. The Jets responded with QB Chad Pennington completing a 5-yard touchdown pass to WR Laveranues Coles. In the fourth quarter, New York fell behind Buffalo again as kicker Rian Lindell nailed a 46-yard field goal and QB Trent Edwards completed a 1-yard touchdown pass to TE Michael Gaines. The Jets managed to pull within three as RB Leon Washington got an 8-yard touchdown run. After forcing a three-and-out, New York had one last chance to tie or take the lead. Unfortunately, 8 plays into the drive, Pennington got intercepted by Bills CB Terrence McGee, which secured Buffalo\'s first win of the year.
With the surprising loss, the Jets fell to 1--3.

### Week 5: at New York Giants {#week_5_at_new_york_giants}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_3}
The Jets played a rare road game at home, as they took on their intracity rivals (and stadium co-tenants), the New York Giants. Both offenses were slow to start through the first quarter, though the Jets' defense capitalized when Giants running back Brandon Jacobs fumbled at his own 11-yard line, which was picked up by safety Kerry Rhodes for a touchdown. The Jets had a chance to extend the lead later in the period, but Mike Nugent missed a 42-yard field goal. The Giants responded on the ensuing drive with an eight-yard touchdown by Derrick Ward. The deadlock was broken toward the end of the first half when Chad Pennington led the Jets on a 93-yard drive with less than two minutes in the half, ending on a 16-yard touchdown pass to Brad Smith. The Jets were able to tack on a 47-yard field goal by Nugent to end the half, after they got the ball back on an interception of Giants quarterback Eli Manning by Jonathan Vilma, taking a 17--7 lead into the locker room.
The Giants went to work when they opened the second half, getting a 19-yard touchdown run from Jacobs to cut the Jets' lead to three. The lead was restored back to ten, however, when Leon Washington returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. Later in the quarter, Manning led the Giants downfield and completed a 13-yard pass to tight end Jeremy Shockey for a touchdown. Pennington attempted to respond by leading the Jets deep into Giants territory early in the fourth quarter, but he floated a pass toward the end zone which was intercepted at the two-yard line by cornerback Aaron Ross. Despite the bad field position, Manning eventually found Plaxico Burress on a 53-yard touchdown pass to put the Giants ahead, 28--24. The Jets tried to get back ahead later in the period, but Pennington was intercepted again by Ross (Pennington\'s third of the afternoon), who took it 43 yards for what was effectively the game-sealing touchdown. One last attempt by the Jets to score yielded no positive yardage, and the Giants ran out the clock to preserve the victory.

### Week 6: vs. Philadelphia Eagles {#week_6_vs._philadelphia_eagles}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_4}
Trying to snap a two-game skid, the Jets stayed at home, donned their throwback New York Titans uniforms, and played their Week 6 interconference game with the Philadelphia Eagles. In the first quarter, the Jets got off to a fast start with kicker Mike Nugent getting a 30-yard field goal, yet the Eagles took the lead with QB Donovan McNabb completing a 75-yard touchdown pass to WR Kevin Curtis. In the second quarter, Philadelphia increased its lead with kicker David Akers getting a 22-yard field goal. New York responded with Nugent kicking a 21-yard field goal.
In the third quarter, the Jets continued to struggle as Akers gave the Eagles a 31-yard and a 25-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, New York tried to come back, yet all they got was Nugent\'s 30-yard field goal.
With their third consecutive loss, the Jets fell to 1--5.
One of the few positives from the game was that RB Thomas Jones ran 100 yards for the 18th time in his career, as he ran 24 times for 130.

### Week 7: at Cincinnati Bengals {#week_7_at_cincinnati_bengals}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_5}
Reeling from three straight losses, the Jets made some changes in the lineup, moving Darrelle Revis and inserting Hank Poteat and Abram Elam. QB Chad Pennington got off to a quick start, completing a 57-yard pass to Laveranues Coles. Both New York and Cincinnati were able to move the ball back and forth in the first half, ending the half with the Jets on top 20--10.
The fourth quarter eventually proved to be the Jets undoing, however. After giving up a touchdown in the third quarter to make the score 23--17, the Jets gave up three touchdowns and only scored their last touchdown in the closing seconds of the game, ending with a 38--31 loss. The fourth quarter was marked by many mistakes, including a costly pass interference by Darrelle Revis and a fumble and interception by Chad Pennington. The pass interference kept a Bengals drive alive, and the fumble gave the Bengals the ball at midfield. Finally, with 50 seconds left in the game, Pennington throws a hurried pass into the hands of Bengal Johnathan Joseph, who runs the ball 42 yards for the game-sealing touchdown.
After the game, coach Eric Mangini refused to endorse Chad Pennington as the quarterback for next week\'s game against the Buffalo Bills, stating that he\'d \"need to look at the tape,\" indicating a possible change to Kellen Clemens.

### Week 8: vs. Buffalo Bills {#week_8_vs._buffalo_bills}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_6}
Before the game, the Jets learned linebacker Jonathan Vilma was lost for the season with a knee injury. Both teams began the game with lengthy drives that ended in field goals, consuming nearly the first 20 minutes of the game. Neither team could generate much offense after that. An interception from Bills quarterback Trent Edwards and a fumble on a trick play by the Jets\' Leon Washington ended the only serious attempts either team made at scoring in the second quarter.
------------------------------------------------------
\"It\'s not the same movie. It\'s the same ending.\"
\~***Eric Mangini on the Jets' fortunes in 2007.***
------------------------------------------------------
Edwards sprained his right wrist in the third quarter and was replaced by his backup, former starter J. P. Losman. Losman led Buffalo downfield early in the fourth quarter, and the Bills took a 6--3 lead on a 40-yard field goal by Rian Lindell. On the Bills' next possession, Losman threw downfield from his own 15-yard line, and found Lee Evans, who, after wrestling the ball away from Darrelle Revis, ran untouched for 43 yards into the end zone to give the Bills a 13--3 lead. Revis appeared to have a chance to intercept the ball, but Jets' safety Abram Elam ran into Revis, allowing Evans to claim the ball.
After the touchdown, and with 3:38 left to play, Jets quarterback Chad Pennington was replaced by backup Kellen Clemens. Clemens twice attempted to drive the Jets for a score, but both drives ended in interceptions, including one on a Hail Mary that ended the game. The Bills held on for the 13--3 victory, as the Jets were swept by Buffalo for the first time since 1997.

### Week 9: vs. Washington Redskins {#week_9_vs._washington_redskins}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_7}
Kellen Clemens was named the starting quarterback on Monday by Coach Eric Mangini, relegating Chad Pennington to the backup role indefinitely. However, Clemens would not be throwing to receiver Laveranues Coles, who ended a 104-game consecutive games played streak due to a concussion.
Leon Washington got the Jets started immediately when he returned the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown. The kickoff return touchdown was his third of the season, setting a Jets record. The teams traded field goals before Clemens led the Jets downfield, where he found tight end Joe Kowalewski on a one-yard touchdown. The Redskins responded with a 40-yard field goal from Shaun Suisham. They then surprised the Jets with an onside kick, which they successfully recovered, leading to another Suisham field goal near the end of the first half.
Suisham continued to keep the Redskins in the game with a 40-yard field goal to start the third quarter, bringing the score to 17--12. The Jets drove deep into Redskins territory early in the fourth quarter when, on a pass completion to Jerricho Cotchery, Cotchery fumbled the ball, and the Redskins recovered. Mangini challenged the call believing the pass was incomplete, and therefore no fumble was possible, but the challenge was not upheld. The Redskins took advantage on the ensuing drive, and running back Clinton Portis, who had a huge game against the porous Jets run defense, scored on a one-yard touchdown to give Washington the lead. A two-point conversion from quarterback Jason Campbell to Antwaan Randle El put the Redskins up by three. The Jets eventually got the ball back late in the game, and Clemens led the offense on a 15-play drive ending with a Mike Nugent 30-yard field goal with ten seconds left to force overtime.
The Jets won the coin toss to start the extra frame and received the ball first. They began with a 39-yard pass from Clemens to Cotchery, but the drive quickly stalled and the Jets were forced to punt. Campbell and Portis led the Redskins downfield into the field goal range of Suisham, who hit his fifth field goal of the day to give the Redskins the win and send the Jets to their sixth straight loss.

### Week 11: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers {#week_11_vs._pittsburgh_steelers}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_8}
The Jets faced a tough matchup in the Pittsburgh Steelers, who possessed the top-ranked defense in the league entering the game. The Jets started the game with a bang, however, executing a flea flicker play as quarterback Kellen Clemens found Laveranues Coles for 57 yards, setting up Chris Baker\'s one-yard touchdown reception. After the Jets extended their lead to ten points, the Steelers got on the board in the second quarter. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger found Santonio Holmes on a seven-yard pass for a touchdown, making the score 10--7. Later, following a Roethlisberger interception by Kerry Rhodes, Clemens led the Jets through a two-minute drill down to the Steelers' one-yard line, but could not get into the end zone, and the Jets settled for a Mike Nugent 19-yard field goal.
The Steelers were able to chip away at the deficit in the second half. Though the Jets defense managed to stall Pittsburgh drives into Jets territory, Jeff Reed hit field goal attempts from 37, 33, and 48 yards to eventually give Pittsburgh a 16--13 lead with less than nine minutes to go. The Jets eventually received the ball at their own 14-yard line with 2:23 left in the game, and for the second game in a row, Clemens marched the team downfield, on a 13-play, 76-yard drive, culminating in a 28-yard field goal attempt for Nugent, which forced overtime. After both teams went three-and-out to start, Leon Washington, who Pittsburgh kickers and punters had avoided kicking to for much of the game, returned a punt 33 yards to the Steelers 27-yard line. This set up Nugent\'s successful 38-yard field goal, giving the Jets their second win of the season.
The Jets defense had an impressive game; in addition to an interception and a fumble recovery, they were able to pressure Roethlisberger throughout the game, resulting in seven quarterback sacks, after having just nine in the team\'s first nine games.

#### Game summary {#game_summary_9}
Coming off their home victory over the Steelers, the Jets flew to Texas Stadium for a Week 12 Thanksgiving interconference showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. This was their first Thanksgiving Day appearance since 1985.
In the first quarter, New York trailed early as Cowboys RB Marion Barber got a 7-yard touchdown run for the only score of the period. In the second quarter, Dallas increased its lead with QB Tony Romo completing a 25-yard touchdown pass to TE Jason Witten, along with CB Terence Newman returning an interception 50 yards for a touchdown. The Jets managed to score their only points of the game as kicker Mike Nugent managed to get a 40-yard field goal.
In the third quarter, the Cowboys added on to their lead as kicker Nick Folk managed to get a 46-yard field goal for the only score of the period. In the fourth quarter, Dallas pulled away as Folk nailed a 27-yard field goal and Romo completed a 22-yard touchdown pass to WR Terrell Owens.
With the loss, New York fell to 2--9.

### Week 13: at Miami Dolphins {#week_13_at_miami_dolphins}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_10}
Ironically, the Jets were the underdogs against the 0--11 Dolphins, according to Las Vegas bookmakers.
The Jets opened the game by getting on the board with a direct snap touchdown run by Leon Washington. Long field goals by Jay Feely for the Dolphins cut the Jets\' lead to one. Immediately after Feely\'s second field goal, Jets quarterback Kellen Clemens found Justin McCareins on a long pass for 50 yards, but the drive quickly stalled, and New York was forced to settle for Mike Nugent\'s 29-yard field goal. On the Jets\' next possession, Clemens was hit on one of six Dolphins sacks by Will Allen; the ball popped out on the hit and was recovered by Michael Lehan, who returned the fumble 43 yards for a touchdown to give the Dolphins a 13--10 lead. Aided by consecutive Dolphins penalties prior to kickoff, however, the good field position on the Jets\' ensuing drive allowed Clemens to find Brad Smith on a 19-yard touchdown reception to put the Jets back on top. A Kerry Rhodes interception on the Dolphins\' next possession allowed the Jets to tack on a 40-yard field goal just before halftime.
Turnovers for the Jets\' defense allowed New York to take control of the game in the second half. Rookie Dolphins quarterback John Beck's fumble on a sack in third quarter led to Nugent\'s 35-yard attempt to increase the Jets\' lead to 10. After Beck lost another fumble on the Dolphins' next series, the Jets drove down to Miami\'s one-yard line, where Thomas Jones scored his first touchdown in his twelfth game as a Jet. On Miami\'s next possession, an interception by Drew Coleman gave the Jets another scoring opportunity, which turned out to be Nugent\'s fourth field goal of the day. Leon Washington\'s 12-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter ended the scoring.

Coming off their season-sweep over the Dolphins, the Jets went home for a Week 14 intraconference duel with the Cleveland Browns. After a scoreless first quarter, New York trailed in the second quarter as Browns QB Derek Anderson completed a 7-yard touchdown pass to RB Jamal Lewis. The Jets got on the board with kicker Mike Nugent kicking a 35-yard field goal.
In the third quarter, Cleveland responded with Anderson completing a 4-yard touchdown pass to WR Braylon Edwards. The Jets replied with Nugent kicking a 41-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, the Browns increased their lead with kicker Phil Dawson getting a 49-yard field goal. New York crept closer with QB Kellen Clemens getting a 1-yard touchdown run (with a failed two-point conversion), while Nugent kicked a 38-yard field goal. However, Cleveland sealed the win with Lewis getting a 31-yard touchdown. The Jets ended the game with Nugent nailing a 35-yard field goal.
With the loss, New York fell to 3--10.

### Week 15: at New England Patriots {#week_15_at_new_england_patriots}
#### Game summary {#game_summary_12}
The Jets were heavy underdogs coming into their second game with the undefeated Patriots. The game was largely a defensive struggle, as cold, wet weather affected both teams' offenses. On the Jets' second play from scrimmage, Jets quarterback Kellen Clemens was hit as he threw by Richard Seymour, and safety Eugene Wilson grabbed the errant pass for a quick 7--0 lead for New England. Clemens was forced to leave the game after the play with an undisclosed rib injury, and was relieved for the remainder of the game by Chad Pennington. A field goal extended the Patriots lead in the second quarter. The Jets caught a break later in the quarter when Patriots punter Chris Hanson bobbled the snap on a punt, allowing David Bowens time to block the punt for the Jets; Bowens recovered the ball and ran for the touchdown to trim the Patriots lead to three. However, the Patriots followed suit with their own blocked punt toward the end of the half, which set up Laurence Maroney's one-yard touchdown run.
The Jets had some scoring opportunities go to waste in the second half. An interception of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in New England territory led to a Chris Baker fumble at the 15-yard line. The teams then traded field goals in the fourth quarter to make the score 20--10. Following the Patriots' field goal, the Jets began play at the Patriots 31-yard line; Pennington found Justin McCareins in the end zone for an apparent seven-yard touchdown. However, the play was challenged by New England, and it was ruled that McCareins did not have full control of the ball, nullifying the touchdown. After getting pushed back by a penalty, Mike Nugent missed a 35-yard field goal attempt, ending the Jets' last serious scoring threat.

Chad Pennington started at quarterback for the Jets, as Kellen Clemens sat out while recovering from the rib injury suffered against the Patriots. The Titans got on the board early in the second quarter with a four-yard touchdown run by Chris Brown. The Jets responded with a nine-yard touchdown pass from Pennington to Jerricho Cotchery, but the Titans blocked the extra point attempt to maintain a one-point lead. Later in the quarter, the Jets were the victims of unfortunate luck. When Mike Nugent converted a 38-yard field goal attempt, the Titans were called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that gave the Jets a first-and-goal at the Tennessee 10-yard line. However, three plays later, Pennington threw an interception to end the Jets' scoring threat. A Rob Bironas field goal gave the Titans a 10--6 lead in the third quarter, and the Jets were never able to make any significant progress on offense afterward.

# Place of Angels
\"**Place of Angels**\" is the 27th episode of *Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons*, a British Supermarionation television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and filmed by their production company Century 21 Productions. Written and directed by Leo Eaton, it was first broadcast on 8 March 1968 on ATV Midlands.
Set in 2068, the series depicts a \"war of nerves\" between Earth and the Mysterons: a race of Martians with the power to create functioning copies of destroyed people or objects and use them to carry out acts of aggression against humanity. Earth is defended by a military organisation called Spectrum, whose top agent, Captain Scarlet, was killed by the Mysterons and replaced by a reconstruction that subsequently broke free of their control. Scarlet\'s double has a self-healing power that enables him to recover from injuries that would be fatal to anyone else, making him Spectrum\'s best asset in its fight against the Mysterons.
In \"Place of Angels\", Spectrum pursues a Mysteron agent who has stolen a vial of synthetic virus with the potential to kill millions of people.
## Plot
At a microbiological laboratory near Manchester, England, Dr Denton and his assistant, Judy Chapman, activate a culture of K14, a synthetic virus. Later, as Chapman is driving home in her car, Captain Black sets a trap for her by blocking the road with a fuel tanker. Chapman crashes into the tanker and is killed instantly, whereupon she is reconstructed by the Mysterons to carry out their threat to destroy the \"Place of the Angels\". Returning to the laboratory, the Mysteron agent strangles a security guard with a pair of mechanical arms and steals the vial containing the K14. She then boards an airliner bound for New York.
Denton contacts Spectrum Cloudbase to request assistance and Colonel White dispatches Captains Scarlet and Blue to the laboratory. On arrival, Scarlet and Blue learn that K14 is the most lethal virus ever developed and that were the vial to be opened, its contents would kill up to ten million people.
When Chapman is sighted at New York International Airport, Scarlet and Blue fly to the United States and chase the reconstruction along the Interstate Highway in a Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle. Acting on the telepathically-relayed instructions of Black, Chapman abandons her car, leaving behind what appears to be the K14 vial with its seal broken. A decontamination operation is conducted and Scarlet and Blue are placed in quarantine. However, when the samples from the car test negative for K14, it becomes evident that Chapman has tricked Spectrum and still has the virus.
Hours pass and Chapman is spotted in numerous locations across North America, including Los Angeles. From the city\'s name, which is Spanish for \"The Angels\", Scarlet deduces that the Mysteron threat is against LA.
Flying a Spectrum Passenger Jet, Scarlet and Blue pursue Chapman as she drives along the Colorado River. White informs the officers that the reconstruction is heading for the Boulder Dam, presumably to release the K14 into the Los Angeles reservoir and contaminate the city\'s water supply. Scarlet ejects and lands on the dam. Despite taking a bullet from the armed Chapman, he returns fire and the reconstruction loses her footing, falling over the side of the dam to her death. Scarlet manages to retrieve the dropped vial from a ledge before it is lost in the reservoir. A frantic White radios Scarlet, who replies that the \"Place of Angels\" is safe.

# Place of Angels
## Production
Eaton, who had worked as an assistant director on *The Saint*, joined Century 21 as a first assistant director during the pre-production of *Captain Scarlet*. The 22-year-old quickly expressed an interest in writing and directing; after making several TV advertisements for the *Thunderbirds*-themed ice lollies Zoom and Fab, he was given the opportunity to write and direct a *Captain Scarlet* episode. \"Place of Angels\" was Eaton\'s first filmed script as well as his TV series directorial debut.
A number of script changes were made prior to filming: the episode\'s working title was \"The City of Angels\" and as originally scripted the Mysterons\' threat was to destroy \"the population of the City of Angels\". In an unfilmed scene, Scarlet and Blue were to arrive at the Manchester laboratory and learn that the security guard had been strangled not by hand, but with machinery. Eaton said that he included the \"mechanical arms\" because it was \"something I thought would be a little bit different and make it feel more interesting.\" The ending was also altered: the original intention was for Scarlet to retrieve the K14 from a binoculars case in which the reconstructed Chapman had placed the vial before falling to her death.
The opening scene, in which Dr Denton activates the virus, features incidental music that was originally recorded for *Stingray*. The scale models of the New York and Los Angeles airports were built partly with props first seen in two *Thunderbirds* episodes, \"The Duchess Assignment\" and \"The Cham-Cham\". The airliner that flies Chapman to New York was a re-use of the RTL2 Transporter scale model from \"The Cham-Cham\", while its puppet-sized cabin was a re-use of the interior of Flight 104 from the *Captain Scarlet* episode of the same name. The scale models of the decontamination helicopter and dome respectively first appeared as a rescue helicopter in the film *Thunderbirds Are Go* (1966) and a Frost Line Outer Space Defence System dome in the *Captain Scarlet* episode \"Avalanche\".
\"Place of Angels\" features a rare appearance by Spectrum\'s Dr Fawn. However, as Fawn\'s voice actor Charles Tingwell had left the series before this episode was made, the character does not have any lines.
## Broadcast and reception {#broadcast_and_reception}
\"Place of Angels\" had its first UK-wide network broadcast on 29 April 1994 on BBC2. The transmission was delayed by ten minutes due to over-running live coverage of the World Snooker Championship semi-final between Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry.
### Critical response {#critical_response}
Anthony Clark of *sci-fi-online.com* describes the plot as \"not great\" but considers it better-paced than that of \"Flight 104\". He also writes that the episode has a \"reasonable sense of tension and some sharp direction\".
The episode has drawn comment for its violence. Andrew Thomas of *Dreamwatch* magazine considers the death of the original Chapman, culminating in the sight of the character\'s \"mangled body\", to be one of the series\' more violent moments. Andrew Pixley and Julie Rogers of *Starburst* note the horror of the reconstruction\'s death, which Shane M. Dallmann of *Video Watchdog* describes as \"one of the series\' more show-stopping demises\". Pixley and Rogers also note the \"cryptic\" nature of the Mysteron threat against the eponymous \"place of angels\".
Fred McNamara writes that Spectrum\'s pursuit of Chapman is \"a tad cumbersome\" and the overall episode arguably feels more like an \"extended chase sequence\" than a complete story. However, he praises its sense of \"menace and mystery\", describing the strangulation of the security guard as \"great fun to watch\" and the gunfight between Scarlet and Chapman as \"splendid\". He considers \"Place of Angels\" remarkable for being the only episode of *Captain Scarlet* to incorporate a theme of biological warfare

# Cyaxares II
**Cyaxares II** (*Κυαξάρης\]\]*) was a king of the Medes whose reign is described by the Greek historian Xenophon. Some theories have equated this figure with the \"Darius the Mede\" named in the Book of Daniel. He is not mentioned in the histories of Herodotus or Ctesias, and many scholars doubt that he actually existed. The question of his existence impacts on whether the kingdom of the Medes merged peacefully with that of the Persians in about 537 BC, as narrated by Xenophon (8.6.22, 8.7.1), or was subjugated in the rebellion of the Persians against Cyrus\' grandfather in 559 BC, a date derived from Herodotus (1.214) and almost universally accepted by current scholarship.
## Xenophon's *Cyropaedia* {#xenophons_cyropaedia}
According to Xenophon\'s *Cyropaedia* (1.5.2), Cyaxares II became king after Astyages to the throne of the Median Empire, and he was also the brother of Mandane, Cyrus the Great\'s mother (1.2.1, 1.4.7). He describes the Persian, Cyrus II/The Great, as leading the campaign to conquer Babylon in 539 BC, while his uncle, Cyaxares II, remained in Ecbatana. Cyaxares II was by then an old man, and because Cyrus II/The Great was in command of the campaign, the army came to regard Cyrus the Great as king. After Cyrus II/The Great invited Cyaxares (II) to a palace he had prepared for him in Babylon, Cyaxares (II) granted him his daughter (Cyrus II/The Great\'s first cousin) in marriage, with the Median kingdom as her dowry. On the assumption that Cyaxares II is Darius the Mede, it is claimed that he nominally reigned from Babylon as head of the Medo-Persian empire for two years until his death, the real power being Cyrus II/The Great\'s. Upon the death of Cyaxares II, the empire passed peaceably to Cyrus II/The Great.
### Controversy about name {#controversy_about_name}
Friedrich König claimed that Xenophon was confused about Cyaxares (II) because this was the name of the father of Astyages (Cyaxares I). However, it was not unusual, especially among kings, for an individual to have the same name as his grandfather. This was the case with both Cyrus the Great and Cambyses II. Darius (I) Hystaspes had a grandson named Darius who was heir apparent but was killed before he could become king.

## Debate about existence of Cyaxares II {#debate_about_existence_of_cyaxares_ii}
Cyaxares II figures prominently in Xenophon's *Cyropaedia*. In contrast, he is absent from the *Histories* of *Herodotus*, which leaves no place for Cyaxares II. Herodotus says the Median king Astyages had no son, and that his successor as king of both Media and Persia was Cyrus the Great. The modern consensus of historians agrees with Herodotus. John Whitcomb wrote that Xenophon\'s Cyaxares II \"was a mere figment of the imagination.\"
From at least the time of Jerome until the 19th century, many writers, both Jewish and Christian, accepted the existence of Cyaxares II. He was regarded as the king of Media at the end of the Neo-Babylonian Empire in the biblical commentaries of John Calvin, Adam Clarke, Keil and Delitzsch, and Lange. In Lange\'s commentary, Otto Zöckler named Gesenius, Hengestenberg, and other more recent writers who equated Cyaxares II with Daniel\'s Darius the Mede. These commentaries noted similarities between Cyaxares II as portrayed by Xenophon and what may be inferred about Darius the Mede from the sparse statements about him in the Book of Daniel. In their view, the difference in name could be explained by the fact that kings at that time---including Artaxerxes I, Darius II, Artaxerxes III, and Darius III---had a throne name in addition to their personal name. In the case of Cyaxares II, Harpocration and Berossus were cited as evidence showing that the throne name of Cyaxares II was Darius the Mede. Regarding correlations between Cyaxares II and Darius the Mede, Zöckler wrote, \"the account given by Xenophon regarding Cyaxares II so fully agrees with the narrative of Daniel regarding Darius the Mede, that, as Hitzig confesses, \'the identity of the two is beyond a doubt.\'\"

## Supporting evidence {#supporting_evidence}
The following sources generally support, in one way or another, the existence of Cyaxares II as a monarch who succeeded Astyages on the throne of Media, and who continued until sometime shortly after the capture of Babylon by the combined Median and Persian armies and their allies. The sources are listed in chronological order of their composition, with the oldest first.
### The Harran Stele {#the_harran_stele}
The Harran Stele (Pritchard, pp. 362--63) was composed in the fourteenth or fifteenth year of Nabonidus, i.e. 542 to 540 BC, commemorating his restoration of the temple at Ehulhul. Nabonidus relates how, in the tenth year of his reign (546 or 545 BC), hostile kings invited him to return to Babylon. The kings are named as \"the kings of the land of Egypt, of the land \[*v.l.* for KUR: URU, of the city\] of the Medes, of the land of the Arabs, and all the kings of hostile (lands)\". The significance of this lies in its date, just one to three years before Nabonidus lost his kingdom to the Medes and Persians. It was also some 13 or 14 years after Cyrus had supposedly subjugated the Medes and became ruler of the combined empire in 559 B.C. according to Herodotus and the consensus of modern historians who follow him. Nabonidus makes no mention of the Persians who soon would be the leaders of those who captured his capital. This is consistent with Xenophon\'s picture of the Persians still being the subordinate partner in the Medo-Persian confederacy at the time, with Cyrus the junior sovereign under his uncle, Cyaxares II king of Media. Nowhere in any surviving inscription is Cyrus called the king of Media, unless it is maintained that the present inscription is interpreted that way; this would be in contradiction to other sources where Cyrus is referred to \"king of Anshan\", \"king of Persia\", \"the great king\" and other similar titles. The Harran Stele therefore is evidence that just shortly before the fall of Babylon, the king of the Medes, whose name is not given, not only existed but was considered a more important enemy of the Babylonians than Cyrus and the Persians.
### The Persepolis Reliefs {#the_persepolis_reliefs}
Construction of the Persian city of Persepolis began early in the reign of Darius I (522--486 BC), probably about 515 BC, and construction was completed in the reign of his son Xerxes (486--465 BC). The great staircase of the Apadana was part of the first building phase. Reliefs on part of the staircase depict Persian and Median nobles, with no apparent distinction of rank. Depiction of Persians and Medians as equals is not consistent with Herodotus\' account that the Persians \"subjugated\" and made \"slaves\" of the Medes about 20 years before the fall of Babylon (*Histories* 1.129,130). They are consistent with the picture presented in the *Cyropaedia* of a confederation between the two nations, with the Medes initially being the senior partners in the confederacy.

### Aeschylus in *The Persians* {#aeschylus_in_the_persians}
Aeschylus\' tragedy, *The Persians*, was written in 472 BC. The author, Aeschylus, was a contemporary of Darius Hystaspes (522--486 BC) and his son Xerxes (486--465). He fought the Persians at Marathon and Salamis. *The Persians* predates both Xenophon and Herodotus, and is therefore independent of either of those sources. The tragedy is a dramatic reenactment of the Persian defeat at Salamis (486 BC). In it, the ghost of Darius I describes the two Median kings who preceded Cyrus as rulers of the Medo-Persian alliance:
> For the Mede was the first leader of \[our\] host;\
> And another, his son, completed this work,\
> For \[his\] mind directed his passion.\
> And third from him was Cyrus, a fortunate man;\
> When he ruled, he established peace for all his own.
In Herodotus\' history, the two Median kings who preceded Cyrus were Cyaxares I and his son Astyages. But also according to Herodotus, Cyaxares I did not establish a Medo-Persian confederacy, and Astyages did not \"complete this work\"; instead he lost his throne after initiating a war against Cyrus. The conflict of Aeschylus with Herodotus regarding the basic history of the Medes and Persians is so obvious that Walther Kranz stated, \"Certainly one could complain, that thus Aeschylus (like his hearers) knew nothing about the enormous revolution in the East regarding the changeover of the dominion to the Persians.\" Steven Anderson writes, \"The attempt to reconcile Aeschylus with Herodotus thus breaks down, not only because of the problem of correlating the Median kings, but also because of the problem of a Medo-Persian confederacy. Aeschylus presents the Medes and Persians as a united host right from the first Median king in the list, and does not indicate that there was a violent conquest of Media by Cyrus, as Herodotus claims there was.\"
In the past, the interpretation taken by many classicists was that the two Median kings preceding Cyrus in this reference were Astyages and Xenophon\'s Cyaxares II. This was the position of Thomas Stanley, who edited what became the standard edition of the works of Aeschylus from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. That the Medes under Astyages began a confederacy with the Persians, as indicated by Aeschylus, is evidenced by Astyages giving his daughter Mandane in marriage to Cambyses, the father of Cyrus by Mandane. This marriage alliance is attested in the histories of both Herodotus and Xenophon. \"In the ancient Near Eastern context, such marriages signified the formation of political alliances, and it seems that Astyages made just such an alliance with Persia with a view toward checking Babylonian hegemony. The work which he began of opposing Babylonian hegemony through the confederation with Persia was completed by his son Darius/Cyaxares II, who occupied the Median throne when Babylon fell to the Medo-Persian army.\" Aeschylus in these few lines presents a picture of the early days of the Medo-Persian confederacy that is in harmony with Xenophon\'s succession of Median kings, including Cyaxares II.

### Xenophon in the *Cyropaedia* {#xenophon_in_the_cyropaedia}
Xenophon was a mercenary soldier who fought in the Persian civil war between Cyrus the Younger and his brother Artaxerxes II of Persia. The story of the 10,000 Greek mercenaries is related in Xenophon\'s most famous work, the *Anabasis*. Xenophon fought on the side of Cyrus and greatly admired him. After Cyrus was slain, Xenophon became leader of the Greeks in their long trek out of the territory controlled by the Persians. Since he apparently was quite familiar with the younger Cyrus and his attendants, he had ample opportunity to learn the court remembrances of Cyrus the Great.
When Xenophon wrote his *Cyropaedia* (the Education of Cyrus) several years later, the *Histories* of Herodotus had already been published. Regarding the upbringing of Cyrus the Great, Herodotus said that he was choosing one of the stories he had heard, but that there were three other stories he did not choose to relate (1.95). The story he chose is adapted from myths that were current at the time. An integral part of Herodotus\' story was his explanation of how Cyrus came to the throne of Persia. This was after he led a successful rebellion against his maternal grandfather Astyages, king of the Medes. Xenophon would have known this story from Herodotus, but he did not believe it, because his history of Cyrus\' early years is quite different. Herodotus and Xenophon agree that Cyrus\' mother was Mandane of Media, daughter of Astyages, but Herodotus says that Cyrus\' father, Cambyses I, was not of \"suitable rank\" to be a king or the father of a king (1.07); however, Xenophon says that Cambyses was king of Persia. In contrast to Herodotus\' having Cyrus lead a rebellion against his grandfather and seizing the throne of Media, Xenophon says Astyages died and was succeeded on the throne of Media by his son Cyaxares (II) some time before Cyrus---as prince regent of Persia and leader of their armies---began his campaign of conquest.
The discovery of the Cyrus Cylinder gave evidence that Herodotus was wrong regarding the ancestors of Cyrus and especially the rank of his father, Cambyses. Therein, Cyrus states that he is \"son of Cambyses, great king, king of Anshan, grandson of Cyrus, great king, king of Anshan, descendant of Teispes, great king, king of Anshan, of a family (which) always (exercised) kingship\" (Pritchard, p. 316).
### Berossus in the *Babyloniaca* {#berossus_in_the_babyloniaca}
Berossus was a Babylonian writer who produced a history of Babylon, the *Babyloniaca*, around 270 BC. The work was widely known in antiquity, but now survives only in fragments quoted by later writers. A fragment describing the conquest of Babylon by Cyrus is preserved in Josephus\' *Against Apion* (1.150-53/1.20). In the *Babyloniaca*, Berossus dates the conquest to the seventeenth year of Nabonidus, in agreement with the cuneiform inscription of the Nabonidus Chronicle. This section of the *Babyloniaca* is also cited in the *Chronicle* of Eusebius, a work that survives only in an Armenian translation. Eusebius cites Abydenus, an epitomizer of Berossus, as his source. The fragment of Berossus preserved in *Against Apion* states that Cyrus gave Nabonidus the province of Carmania to live in. The *Chronicle* of Eusebius agrees with this, but its citation of Abydenus/Berossus adds: \"To this one \[Nabonidus\] Cyrus gave, when he had taken Babylon, the governorship of the land of the Carmanians; \[but\] Darius the king took away some of the province for himself.\"
Berossus\' statement mentions a king named Darius contemporary with Nabonidus. This might support a King Darius ruling at the time Cyrus conquered Babylon but it might also refer to Darius the Great (reigned 522--486), who might have reduced Nabonidus\'s province later on. This reference to the name *Darius* was used in the 19th century commentaries of Keil, Delitzsch, and Lange to assert that \"Darius the Mede\" in the Book of Daniel was attested in an ancient source.
### Harpocration
Harpocration was a lexicographer who wrote in the latter half of the 2nd century AD. He was associated with the great library at Alexandria, and had access to many ancient resources that were lost when the library was destroyed. His only surviving work is *The Lexicon of the Ten Orators*. In an entry for the daric coin, he writes, \"But darics are not named, as most suppose, after Darius the father of Xerxes, but for a certain other more ancient king.\" In the 19th century, C. F. Keil, in the Keil and Delitzsch commentary on the Hebrew Bible, cited the reference in Harpocration as evidence outside of the biblical Book of Daniel for the existence of Daniel\'s \"Darius the Mede\" as a historical figure.

### Babylonian contract texts {#babylonian_contract_texts}
There are thousands of examples of Babylonian contract documents written in cuneiform on clay, many of which are unpublished. Strassmaier published 384 contract texts dated to the reign of Cyrus, and others have been published since then. These documents provide the strongest argument against the existence of Cyaxares II, since none of those yet published contains that name. Rowley writes, \"No imperial monarch interposed his rule between Nabonidus and Cyrus, for ere the month in which Cyrus entered Babylon had run its course, contracts were being dated by his reign.\"
According to the *Cyropaedia* (8.5.1,17), it was only after affairs were settled in Babylon that Cyrus went to Media and invited Cyaxares to come to Babylon, where he had prepared a palace for him. If that is the case, then the people of Babylon would have recognized Cyrus as their conqueror, not the distant Cyaxares. Steven Anderson, who advocates the basic outline of Xenophon, writes that Cyrus \"was evidently hailed as the new king when he entered the city in a carefully choreographed procession, and his entrance was preceded and followed by a heavy propaganda campaign.\" Anderson also states, \"It is not impossible that there may be cuneiform texts which mention Darius the Mede that have been mistakenly identified by modern scholars with one of the three Persian kings called \'Darius.\' Any reference to Darius the Mede would have to be very explicit and otherwise unexplainable to be recognized as such by a conventional scholar.\"
### The Cyrus Cylinder {#the_cyrus_cylinder}
The Cyrus Cylinder (Pritchard, pp. 315--16) is a barrel-shaped clay cylinder inscribed in Akkadian cuneiform. It appears to have been written sometime after the conquest of Babylon (539 BC) and before Cyrus\' death in 530 BC. The Cyrus Cylinder was an important part of the evidence in conflict with Xenophon\'s account. Its text was interpreted as implying that the Persians conquered the Medes in warfare before the capture of Babylon, as narrated by Herodotus. It makes no mention of any Median king reigning when Babylon fell, which was taken as evidence against the existence of Cyaxares II as described by Xenophon.
Modern scholarship recognizes the cylinder as a propaganda piece designed to manipulate public opinion against the Babylonian king Nabonidus and to legitimatize Cyrus\' conquest of Babylon. It describes Cyrus as a liberator of the Babylonian people who restored the worship of Marduk after the neglect of such worship by Nabonidus, who is vilified throughout.
The Cyrus Cylinder states that Cyrus \"made the land of Gutium and all the Umman-Manda bow in submission at his feet.\" Umman-Manda is taken by some authorities`{{weasel inline|date=February 2015}}`{=mediawiki} as a reference to Cyrus\' subjugation of the Medes. However, according to Steven Anderson, this may be the means by which Cyrus gained the allegiance of the Median army after the successful campaign against the Lydians and their allies, upstaging Cyaxares II while still pledging allegiance to him. Regarding the \"submission\" of the Gutians and Umman-Manda, Anderson writes, \"In order to justify these false propaganda claims, as well as to provide another opportunity for Cyrus to glorify himself, it became necessary to portray Cyrus as having actually *conquered* the Medes, rather than gradually appropriating control over the confederated Medo-Persian army, and finally succeeding the last Median king. \... If Cyrus was given lordship over the Median army before the fall of Babylon, this would fit with either Herodotus or Xenophon.\"
According to Xenophon\'s *Cyropaedia* (4.6.1-11), Gobryas, governor of Gutium under the suzerainty of the Babylonians, had a long-standing grudge against the Babylonian king. After Cyrus defeated Croesus, Gobryas came to Cyrus and indicated his allegiance. Gobryas figures prominently in events that follow, giving his advice about how to proceed in the capture of Babylon, and then leading the forces that took the city (5.4.41-50; 7.5.8-33). Although the basic outline of this account might be called into question because of Xenophon\'s desire to portray Cyrus as a master of tact and diplomacy, there is simply no other account that has survived explaining how the Gutians became followers of Cyrus and were in submission to him, as stated in the Cyrus Cylinder. Xenophon has support from the Nabonidus Chronicle, where Gobryas (Ugbaru), in agreement with the *Cyropaedia*, is called the governor of Gutium and the leader of the army of Cyrus in the capture of Babylon. Steven Hirsch concludes, \"So Xenophon is right to claim that Cyrus enlisted the support of one Gobryas, a Babylonian vassal who was instrumental in the capture of Bablon. This detail is absent from Herodotus\' account and from the extant portions of Ctesias\' *Persica*.\"

### The Nabonidus Chronicle {#the_nabonidus_chronicle}
The Nabonidus Chronicle is an ancient Babylonian text, part of a larger series of Babylonian Chronicles inscribed in cuneiform script on clay tablets. Amélie Kuhrt describes the Nabonidus Chronicle as \"the most reliable and sober \[ancient\] account of the fall of Babylon.\" However, the Chronicle has also been described as \"a piece of propaganda at Cyrus\'s service\". Its annalistic nature suggests that original documents from the reign of Nabonidus were the starting point of its texts, but these have been heavily edited to shed unfavorable light on Nabonidus as one who repeatedly neglected the new year festival in Babylon.
In regard to the historicity Cyaxares II, the Chronicle agrees with Herodotus that the army of Ishtumegu of Agamantu (considered to be Astyages of Ectabana) revolted against him, whereupon \"Cyrus, king of Anshan\" conquered and pillaged Agamantu/Ectabana. This has been taken as supporting`{{weasel inline|date=February 2015}}`{=mediawiki} Herodotus with regard to the succession of kings in which Cyrus the Great immediately followed Astyages as king of both Media and Persia, with no intervening Cyaxares II. Although the agreement between the Nabonidus Chronicle and Herodotus, that Cyrus conquered Astyages and put an end to the Median kingdom, has seemed conclusive to most modern scholars, there remain some difficulties. One of these is the consideration that Herodotus and the Nabonidus Chronicle may not be independent witnesses. Herodotus said he had four versions of the upbringing of Cyrus and how he came to be king available to him, and he chose to present only one of them (*Histories* 1.95). The agreement of Herodotus with the Nabonidus Chronicle in this matter should not be regarded as two independent testimonies. The Nabonidus Chronicle supports Xenophon in relating that it was Ugbaru/Gobryas, governor of Gutium, who was general of the armies that conquered Babylon.
In a section that is partially defective, the Nabonidus Chronicle reports the death of the \"wife of the king\". This happened at some time before the end of the month in which the forces of Cyrus captured Babylon. If the king was Cyrus, as seems most probable, then the one who died was his first wife, Cassandane, mother of Cambyses II. Cambyses II was old enough to be prince regent when his father entered Babylon. If Cassandane had died at this time, it would shed light on the passage in the *Cyropaedia* (8.5.19) where Cyaxares II, maternal uncle of Cyrus, gave his daughter as bride to the recently bereaved Cyrus, with the kingdom of Media as her dowry. The death of the king\'s wife in the Nabonidus Chronicle would then explain why Cyrus would take a new queen in his middle years, as stated in the *Cyropaedia*. Most historians do not make any connection between the death of the king\'s wife in the Nabonidus Chronicle and Cyrus\'s taking a new wife shortly thereafter (*Cyropaedia*) because to do so would lend credence to the existence of Cyaxares II. One writer who makes the connection is William Shea.

## Conflicting evidence {#conflicting_evidence}
### Herodotus
The *Histories* of Herodotus was written sometime between 450 and 420 BC. Herodotus has no room for Cyaxares II in the *Histories*, because his narrative has Cyrus leading a successful rebellion against his maternal grandfather, Astyages king of the Medes. As a consequence, the Medes became \"slaves\" of the Persians (1.129,130). Herodotus states that Astyages had no male heir (1.109); this may be compared to Xenophon\'s statement (*Cyropaedia* 8.5.19) that it was Cyaxares (II), son of Astyages, who had no male heir. The lack of a male heir is an essential part of the story of Herodotus regarding the birth and upbringing of Cyrus, an account that is universally recognized as an adaptation of widespread myths about rejected sons becoming king. The animosity between Cyrus and Astyages that led to Cyrus\' rebellion is an integral part of that myth. The rebellion is generally accepted as true by some modern historians
