# Bubenreuth
**Bubenreuth** is a municipality in the district of Erlangen-Höchstadt, in Bavaria, Germany.
## Location
Bubenreuth is located near the river Regnitz and ca. 4 kilometers north of Erlangen with which it\'s structurally connected. Neighboring towns are (from North clockwise) Baiersdorf, Langensendelbach, Marloffstein, Erlangen and Möhrendorf. `{{wide image|Bubenreuth Panorama 01.jpg|1000px|A panorama of Bubenreuth looking north. In the center background, Möhrendorf can be seen.}}`{=mediawiki}
## History
Nothing is known about the founding of Bubenreuth. The suffix -reuth indicates that it was created by a forest clearance. The town is first mentioned as \"Bubenrode\" in a document dating 24 November 1243.
Bubenreuth gained some prominence after World War II when the town, then having 400 inhabitants, voted to admit 2,000 expelled German refugees from Schönbach im Egerland (now Luby, Czech Republic). Schönbach was then known for its numerous violin makers and instrument builders that now fled to Bubenreuth and opened new workshops there. Among those was of Karl Höfner who opened a new factory in Bubenreuth and died in Bubenreuth in 1955. Höfner manufactured a number of popular guitars and basses in Bubenreuth, such as the Höfner 500/1, a bass guitar used by Paul McCartney since 1961

# Buckenhof
**Buckenhof** is a municipality in the district of Erlangen-Höchstadt, in Bavaria, Germany.
## History
The village called Buckenhof developed between the 11th and 12th century. The first public record is from 1372. Between the years 1564 and 1567, the barons von Haller build the *Puckenhof Castle*. Since 1850, it houses a youth center of the Inner Mission. Between 1886 and 1963, Buckenhof was located along the branch line from Erlangen to Uttenreuth.

Together with the neighboring Erlangen, Buckenhof experienced a tremendous increase in its population after the Second World War. Since 2000, Buckenhof is one of the most densely populated communities in Bavaria. The extraordinary popularity of the village, which is due to Buckenhof\'s location near the industrial center of Erlangen and at the same time its proximity to a large nature preserve, has resulted in high land prices

# Organizational network analysis
**Organizational network analysis** (ONA) is a method for studying communication and socio-technical networks within a formal organization. This technique creates statistical and graphical models of the people, tasks, groups, knowledge and resources of organizational systems. It is based on social network theory and more specifically, dynamic network analysis.
## Applications
ONA can be used in a variety of ways by managers, consultants, and executives.
### Network visualizations {#network_visualizations}
There are several tools that allow managers to visually depict their employee networks. Most of the tools are built specifically for researchers and academics who study Network theory, but are relatively inexpensive to use, as long as the leaders are well-versed on how to capture the information, feed it into the tool in the correct formats, and understand how to \"read\" and translate the network graphs into business decisions.
### Innovation gauge {#innovation_gauge}
Several recent studies and research has highlighted that \'Psychological Safety\' is the marker for an innovative team. This has been studied and published first by Google, in their Project Aristotle work as well as highlighted in *New York Times* and other research publications. Amy Edmondson is the preeminent scholar and researcher in this field who has worked across various industries to identify the benefits and even the characteristics of \'Psychological Safety\' in teams.
ONA is now increasingly being used in this context to analyze the relationships developed within a given team, and for understanding how that team works as a unit to create this psychological safety for its members. This technique is more thorough than the traditional surveys.
### Employee engagement {#employee_engagement}
Engagement surveys and other such culture surveys have become a mainstay of the workplace. However, one of the largest complaints from such surveys are that once managers see the results, often the aggregated sentiments of their employees, they are unsure of next steps and actions. Organizational Network Analysis, when combined with such engagement surveys, however change the way that leaders use and leverage these results. Because ONA allows managers to see the context behind the sentiments, they can actually understand how to correct or sustain these results. For example, if a company\'s engagement survey said 30% of the employees felt they are inadequately trained for their jobs, a manager would be perhaps inclined to either do nothing, or invest more in comprehensive training programs. However, doing an ONA alongside this might reveal to managers that employees are unhappy with training because they have limited access to institutional knowledge at the company. Then, instead of a training program, managers might simply work on ensuring their top knowledge hubs share their knowledge broadly, and have a longer, more sustainable improvement to the team\'s level of information and training

# San Juan Knights
The **San Juan Knights** (also abbreviated as **SJK**) are a Filipino professional basketball team based in San Juan. The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league\'s North Division. The team plays its home games at Playtime Filoil Centre.
The team\'s first incarnation was established in 1999 as a member of the Metropolitan Basketball Association (MBA) and played there until 2001. In 2018, the Knights were revived as they joined the MPBL for the 2018--19 season. The team\'s second incarnation has taken part in other leagues, including FilBasket, Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3, and Pilipinas Super League (PSL), the latter of which they compete under the name *San Juan Kings*. In 2023, their volleyball counterpart, the San Juan Lady Knights became one of the eight charter teams of the Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA).
The San Juan-based franchise is one of the most successful region basketball teams in the country. Across both incarnations, the Knights have clinched two championships: one in the MBA (2000) and one in the MPBL (2019). The Knights also made the MPBL\'s division finals five times in a row from 2019 to 2024, and the MPBL finals in back-to-back seasons (2019 and 2021).
The Knights are one of four teams based in the Eastern Manila District of Metro Manila. The team is also backed by the sports program Go For Gold Philippines, hence the team is also known as **San Juan Knights--Go For Gold** (**SJK--G4G**).
## History
### First incarnation (1999--2001) {#first_incarnation_19992001}
The San Juan Knights were founded in 1999 by then-mayor and current senator Jinggoy Estrada and businessman Sandy Javier. The team entered the Metropolitan Basketball Association as an expansion team for the league\'s 1999 season alongside the Surigao Miners and Nueva Ecija Patriots.
During the pre-season, the team acquired 6\'9\" Bonel Balingit from the Philippine Basketball Association to a three-year, P16 million contract. Joining Balangit are Gherome Ejercito from the Pampanga Dragons, a cousin of Estrada, 1998 NCAA Most Valuable Player Christian Calaguio, and Chito Victolero.
During the playoffs of the 2000 season, San Juan first swept the Laguna Lakers, 2--0, in the Northern Conference Semifinals and went past the Manila Metrostars, 3--1, in the Northern Conference Finals, bringing the Knights to the 2000 MBA National Championship. Game 5 of the championship series against the Negros Slashers had a debris-throwing incident at the La Salle Coliseum in Bacolod, Negros Occidental, as the Knights were way ahead, 87--65, with 11:38 left in the fourth quarter when play was stopped. The Negros Slashers conceded game 5, giving the San Juan Knights a 3--2 heading into game 6. San Juan would go on to win their first of back-to-back MBA championships.

### Second incarnation (2018--present) {#second_incarnation_2018present}
#### 2018--2020: The Ayonayon and Wilson era {#the_ayonayon_and_wilson_era}
In April 2018, San Juan Knights were revived as an expansion team in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League. The return of the Knights brought in names such as Mark Cardona and John Wilson. The team finished its inaugural season with a 20--5 record and clinched the third seed in the playoffs. In the playoffs, San Juan swept both Navotas and Quezon City, and won 2--1 against Manila to advance to the 2019 MPBL finals against the Davao Occidental Tigers. The series went all the way to a game 5 as San Juan won its first MPBL championship and the third overall in franchise history. Their winning traditions continued into the 2019--20 season, after facing only four losses throughout the whole season, San Juan managed to finish the season as the North Division\'s first seed. With a 26--4 record and a .867 win percentage, they also tied for best record that season alongside the Davao Occidental Tigers. As the playoffs began, the team swept through Pasay and Pampanga before facing the Makati Super Crunch in the North Division Finals. The series was tied before the season\'s suspension but San Juan were able to win deciding game 3 against a depleted Super Crunch squad to make back-to-back National Finals appearances for a chance to repeat against the Davao Occicdental Tigers. This time around, San Juan failed to defend their title as Davao Occidental won 3--1.
#### 2022--present: The Orlan Wamar era {#present_the_orlan_wamar_era}
After the conclusion of the 2022 MPBL season, San Juan made their debut in the Pilipinas Super League, under the name *San Juan Kings*. In the 2022--23 DUMPER Cup, the team went undefeated in the regular season, winning all 15 games. After beating Manila in the Quarterfinals, the Kings met the Baltazar-led Pampanga G Lanterns in the Semifinals. Unfortunately, San Juan would lose to the G Lanterns in two games.
## Rivalries
### Davao Occidental Tigers {#davao_occidental_tigers}
The rivalry between San Juan and the Davao Occidental Tigers is most prominent in the MPBL when both teams played in the National Finals in back-to-back seasons (2019 and 2021). Even though Davao Occidental has since departed the MPBL, both teams would still clash with one another whenever they compete in the same league. As of February 2024, the San Juan franchise has met the Davao Occidental Tigers a total of fifteen times across all leagues.

# Joachim Lemelsen
**Joachim Lemelsen** (28 September 1888 -- 30 March 1954) was a German general during World War II who rose to army-level command.
During Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, troops of the XLVII Motorized Corps under his command executed the criminal Commissar Order, prompting Lemelsen to complain: \"Soon the Russians will get to hear about the countless corpses lying along the routes taken by our soldiers (\...). The result will be that the enemy will hide in the woods and fields and continue to fight\--and we shall lose countless comrades\".
## Early life {#early_life}
Born in 1888 in Berlin, Lemelsen joined the army of Imperial Germany as an *Fahnenjunker* (officer cadet) in the artillery and later participated in World War I. Serving in the *Wehrmacht* of Nazi Germany, he commanded the Artillery *Lehr* Regiment in 1934 and from the following year taught at infantry school. In March 1938, Lemelsen was given command of the 29th Infantry Division.
## World War II {#world_war_ii}
Lemelsen took part in the Invasion of Poland; his division was involved in the Massacre in Ciepielów of 8 September 1939. On 28 May 1940 he was given command of the 5th Panzer Division with which he participated in the Battle of Dunkirk.
On 25 November 1940 Lemelsen was given command of the new XLVII Motorized Corps, which he led in the Battle of Smolensk and the Battle of Kiev. Lemelsen reported to the Wehrmacht High Command about the executions of Soviet prisoners of war during the early phases of Operation Barbarossa:
The Corps was designated a Panzer Corps in June 1942 and participated as such in anti-partisan operations and in the Battle of Kursk. Later, he temporarily commanded the 10th Army in Italy for two months until the end of December 1943. Lemelsen was given command of the 1st Army, stationed near the Atlantic coast in France in May 1944. On 7 June, Lemelsen was transferred to Italy to take over command of the 14th Army to replace Eberhard von Mackensen who the theatre commander Albert Kesselring had dismissed. Lemelsen commanded the army in the Italian Campaign from June 1944 until mid October when he was given command of Germany\'s other major formation in Italy 10th Army. In February 1945 he returned to the leadership of 14th Army until the end of hostilities in Italy in early May.
Imprisoned by British forces after the war, Lemelsen in 1947 testified on behalf of his former commander, Field Marshal Albert Kesselring, during Kesselring\'s war crimes trial before a British military court convened at Venice, Italy. Soon thereafter, Lemelsen was released. He died in 1954.

# Heroldsberg
**Heroldsberg** (East Franconian: *Herldsbärch*) is a municipality in the district of Erlangen-Höchstadt, in Bavaria, Germany. It is located eleven kilometers north-east from the city of Nuremberg and 23 kilometers east from Erlangen and is the headquarters of Schwan-Stabilo.
## Geography
### Location
It is in the Sebalder Reichswald, the forest north to Nuremberg and is on a ridge. The Gründlach, a side river of the Regnitz, flows through the village of Heroldsberg.
### Municipality
It contains Großgeschaidt, Kleingeschaidt and the villages of Heroldsberg, consisting of Heroldsberg, Johannisthal and Hundsmühle.
### Surrounding Municipalities {#surrounding_municipalities}
It is surrounded by Eckental, Lauf an der Pegnitz, Nuremberg and Kalchreuth.
## History
Heroldsberg\'s history goes back to the 11th century but it was first mentioned in 1225. Later on in 1387 the territory was sold to the Nuremberg patrician family *Geuder* in whose possession the lordship of Heroldsberg was for over 400 years, rendering them *imperial knights* with the name *Geuder von Heroldsberg*, and raised in rank to Bavarian barons in 1822. The Geuders increased their wealth through long-distance trade, namely with spices and cloths shipped to Cologne in the 14th century, and run commercial establishments in Venice in the late 14th century and in Frankfurt am Main and Flanders in the early 15th century. Around 1418 they also did financial business in Paris and were involved in mining companies. It was them who built the four manors, the so-called *green, red, white and yellow castles*, and the fortified church at the village\'s market square. Famous painter Albrecht Dürer, a friend of councillor and Schultheiß Martin Geuder III (1455--1532), made the first graphical depiction of the village of Heroldsberg in 1510, with Geuder\'s newly built *Red Castle* in the foreground. It is still today owned by Geuder\'s descendants.

From the 15th to the 17th century there were times of growth and upswing yet diminished by destruction for example through the Margrave Wars and the Thirty Years\' War. In 1796 the Geuder family lost the fiefdom and the territory became Prussian, though in the Napoleonic Wars it was under French administration for four years. Ever since 1810 Heroldsberg belongs to Bavaria.
After World War II around 1,700 Heimatvertriebene, ethnic Germans who were forced to leave their eastern-European homecountries after the second World War, settled in Heroldsberg. Since the Bavarian territorial reform in 1978 the villages of Großgeschaidt and Kleingeschaidt are part of the community.
Since the 1970s, Heroldsberg has seen a steady influx of residents and today has 8,852 inhabitants.
## Coat of arms {#coat_of_arms}
The coat of arms of Heroldsberg shows a golden lion\'s head, surrounded by three silver stars on a blue background. It was given to the village by King Sigmund in 1417 at the request of Kunz Geuder

# Quick count
**Quick count** is a method for verification of election results by projecting them from a sample of the polling stations.
The similar **Parallel Vote Tabulation** (PVT) is an election observation method that is typically based on a representative random sample of polling stations and is employed for independent verification (or challenge) of election results. A PVT involves observation of the administration of the election, the process of voting and of counting of ballots at the polling stations, collection of official polling station results and independent tabulation of these results, parallel to election authorities.
## Origin
Organizers from the Philippine National Citizen Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL) are widely recognized as the pioneers of the quick count, or parallel vote tabulation (PVT) for emerging democracies. During a 1986 Presidential election, NAMFREL attempted to mirror the official count of all 90,000 polling stations. They performed a remarkable task in collecting data from the majority of polling stations, providing evidence to help uncover the massive vote counting fraud attempted by Marcos supporters.
## Method
Sample-based election observation such as the PVT is grounded in statistics, namely the central limit theorem and the law of large numbers. When a group of observers has access to an official list of polling units (provided by the government or independent election commission), they can deploy a representative random sample of observers from their organization (or election-monitoring coalition of organizations) to polling stations who observe the process of the election and the posted vote count at each polling unit. Following the voting period, observers then transmit the information that they collect back to a central data center for analysis. This data can then be used to make independent and statistically-backed estimates of the vote-share per party or candidate, election turnout and conduct and administration of the election by the election management body.
The approach is described in detail in the National Democratic Institute (NDI)\'s *The Quick Count and Election Observation*. It is also briefly described in section 10B of the *Handbook for Domestic Election Observers*, published by the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), which is part of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
## Use
Elections in Indonesia prominently feature quick count procedures, and they are considered more credible than projections by exit polls, or surveys. Elections in Mexico also feature quick count procedures. Elections in Bolivia have both quick counts and traditional counting procedures.
## Examples
### Nigeria 2019 elections {#nigeria_2019_elections}
The nonprofit YIAGA Africa used PVT to verify the Presidential vote on 23 February 2019. It sent observers but did not use PVT for the state elections on 9 March 2019.
### Zimbabwe 2008 election {#zimbabwe_2008_election}
The disputed Zimbabwean election held in March 2008, is another example where parallel vote tabulation played a significant (if not conclusive) role in the outcome. Following a concession gained by then President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa in the much-maligned process of \"quiet diplomacy\", the results at individual polling stations were displayed on the outside. MDC supporters took pictures, often with camera phones, and sent these to a central location (in Johannesburg), where the results were tabulated.
The MDC claimed as a consequence of this process that their candidate, Morgan Tsvangirai, had polled 50.3% of the vote, and that he was thus the outright winner of the election. A six-week hiatus followed, in which no new results were officially released by the Zimbabwean election authority. At the end of the process, it was announced that Mr. Tsvangirai had secured 48.6% of the votes, and that a run-off election would follow.
Although no clear outcome was gained in that election, the parallel vote tabulation played a significant role in preventing outright electoral fraud

The defensive midfielder, was one of eight players who was fired by CSKA Sofia on 27 July 2012 and he was appointed for assistant coach, but on 6 August 2012 he was brought back in the first team, because of problem with the registering of the new players. On 20 October 2012, he played for 22nd time in the Eternal derby, wherein CSKA won 1--0.
On 7 January 2013, after leading the team of CSKA to the first official winter training session, Toshko gave his resignation to the Bulgarian Football Union and is no longer a player for CSKA. He decided to leave CSKA Sofia as a show of support for manager Stoycho Mladenov who had been sacked.

# Cesare Aretusi
**Cesare Aretusi** (1 September 1549 -- 4 October 1612) was an Italian painter of the late-Renaissance period.
He was born in Modena and trained with Bartolomeo Ramenghi (Bagnacavallo). Known primarily as a portrait painter, Aretusi also painted the cupola of the cathedral of St. Peter in Bologna, where he was assisted by Giovanni Battista Fiorini. Aretusi is described by Lanzi as the better colorist, while Fiorini, the better designer. Aretusi restored the frescoes of Correggio for the tribune of the Cathedral of Parma, and made a copy of the famous *La Notte* painting by Correggio for the church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Parma. He died in 1612 in Parma.
The relationship of Cesare to the Modenese painters with the same surname, Pellegrino from the early 16th century or Alessandro Aretusi from the 17th, is unclear. Lanzi speculates he may have been the son of Pellegrino Aretusi

# Hondo & Fabian
***Hondo & Fabian*** is a children\'s picture book written and illustrated by Peter McCarty. It was released by Henry Holt & Co. in 2002 for ages 2-5. The book follows a day in the life of a dog, Hondo, and a cat, Fabian. Hondo goes on an adventure to the beach and Fabian stays at home with the baby. The story is told through minimal and simple present-tense text and complemented with warm and soft illustrations drawn in pencil and watercolor. *Hondo & Fabian* was very well received and was recognized with multiple awards including a Caldecott Honor. A sequel, *Fabian Escapes*, was released in 2007.
## Plot
The characters included in this book are Hondo the dog, Fabian the cat, a little girl referred to as "the baby," and Fred - Hondo's friend who is also a dog. The book begins with Hondo and Fabian asleep at home, Fabian on the windowsill and Hondo on the floor. The pets are awakened and the reader is informed that Hondo will have an adventure and Fabian will stay home. Hondo heads to the beach in a 1940s-style car with his head out the window and his ears flapping in the wind. At the beach, he meets Fred and they run around in the sand and jump in the waves together. Meanwhile, Fabian is at home "playing" with the baby, depicted by an illustration of a small girl standing up and holding the cat. Fabian then escapes the grasp of the baby and moves to the bathroom to pull apart a roll of toilet paper. At the beach, Hondo gets hungry and wishes that he could take fish from a bucket that a fisherman has just caught. At home, Fabian is also hungry and wishes he could eat a turkey sandwich sitting on the counter. Hondo then returns from the beach in time for dinner and the two pets eat their food side by side. Fabian returns to the windowsill and Hondo returns to the floor where they fall asleep for the night. The book concludes with an illustration of the little girl in bed and text that reads "Good night, baby!".
## Illustrations
*Hondo & Fabian* is known for its unique illustrations drawn in pencil and watercolor. The illustrations show the world of Hondo and Fabian with soft and fuzzy edges, blending light and colors seamlessly and smoothly. Peter McCarty draws Hondo in shades of brown, cream, and white and Fabian in white with gray and dark gray stripes on the top of his back and head. The book consists of warm, sepia-toned pages, with each illustration having its own page with minimal text on the blank page next to it.
## Reception
*Hondo & Fabian* received many positive reviews and won a Caldecott Honor, which is given to the runners-up for the Caldecott medal awarded by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC). The book was one of three recipients of the Caldecott Honor in 2003. The book received positive reviews from Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, and the New York Times. *Hondo & Fabian* was recognized in both the New York Times Best Illustrated Books of 2002 and the New York Times Notable Children's Books of 2002. The book was also on the list of Notable Children's Books of 2003 by the ALSC. In 2006, Weston Woods Studios released a short animation of *Hondo & Fabian,* narrated by Jeff Brooks. Following the positive reception of *Hondo & Fabian,* McCarty wrote a sequel titled *Fabian Escapes* in 2007*

# Ciudad Mier
**Mier** (`{{IPA|es|mjeɾ|lang|Ciudad Mier Pronunciation.ogg}}`{=mediawiki}), also known as *El Paso del Cántaro*, is a city in Mier Municipality in Tamaulipas, located in northern Mexico near the Rio Grande, just south of Falcon Dam. It is 90 mi northeast of Monterrey on Mexican Federal Highway 2. (26°28\'N 99°10\'W)
In 1990, the population was recorded at 6,190. By the 2010 census, it had dropped to 4,762 inhabitants. It has an agricultural economy centered on cotton, sugar cane, corn, and livestock.
## History
The town was founded on March 6, 1753. The land was originally owned by Felix de Almandoz. Land later passed on to General Prudencio Basterra who married Felix\'s sister Ana Maria. 19 Families from Camargo formed the new settlement. In 1753 Captain Jose Christoval Ramirez and his wife were part of the nineteen families who settled in Mier. He was a resident of Mier but applied for Porcion 17 in Revilla (Guerrero Viejo), where he had a ranch at a place called La Santisima Trinidad.
The town is called Mier because the governor of Nuevo León from 1710 to 1714, Francisco Mier y Torre, used to spend the night there on his way to Texas. It began to be called Estancia de Mier and then simply Mier. This is where the steamboats used to stop when they came up the Río Bravo.
### Conflicts with the Republic of Texas {#conflicts_with_the_republic_of_texas}
On his return to power, General Santa Anna sent a force of seven hundred men, mostly mounted Mexican troops under the command of General Ráfael Vásquez, to occupy San Antonio in early March 1842.
The \"war hawks\" in the Texas Congress forced President Sam Houston to act. The President ordered General Alexander Somervell to command the assembling volunteers at San Antonio. Men of all kinds came pouring into town, some shoeless, most horseless, some seeking adventure, and others of the criminal sort, wishing only to sack Mexican towns and villages. As Houston had hoped, Somervell acted indecisively. Soon, considerable looting of Tejano stores in San Antonio, coupled with out-and-out insubordination, broke up the volunteers before they could march on Mexico and start a major war.
Relations between Texas and Mexico worsened, especially after the Mexican general Adrián Woll and fourteen hundred troops again captured San Antonio in September. Houston once again summoned Somervell to organize and lead the volunteers but hoped that the Texas general would remain north of the Nueces River. But as the army grew to 750 men, even Somervell realized that he would have to act. His volunteers had taken on an identity of their own; had he refused to march, the troops would have left him.
The army was slowly breaking up as a result of the disorder and looting, after Laredo was captured. The 500 who remained followed Somervell south to Guerrero, where pillaging occurred. Here a mutiny erupted in which 189 men followed William S. Fisher, Ewen Cameron, and Thomas Green into the Mexican town of Mier.
On December 23, 1842, Fisher and most of the men crossed the Rio Grande and entered the Ciudad Mier, where they met no resistance. They demanded supplies from the town, which the town\'s *alcalde* promised to deliver. The troops withdrew and waited. In the meantime, a large detachment of Mexican troops arrived in the town. On December 25, the two sides engaged in a bloody battle that lasted almost 24 hours. The Texans sustained thirty casualties and ran out of food, water, and ammunition. More than 200 Texans surrendered to Mexican forces, unaware that they had mauled the Mexican troops to an almost unbelievable degree, inflicting an astounding 800 casualties.
As far as the Mexicans were concerned, the Texans were privateers on an unauthorized raid and entitled to no consideration as military prisoners of war. They were sentenced to death and then taken on a forced march to Mexico City. Fisher was separated from the group, but the men selected a leader from among themselves, a Scottish-born captain named Ewen Cameron. Along the way, Cameron led most of the prisoners in an escape attempt. The Texans tried to make a run back for the border, but they hadn\'t bargained on the harsh and dry conditions in the mountains. All but three were recaptured and returned to the town of Salado, Tamaulipas.
When he heard about the break-out, Antonio López de Santa Anna ordered that the recaptured prisoners, some 176 men, be put to death immediately. The Governor of Coahuila, Francisco Mexía, refused to carry out the order and pleaded with foreign ministers in Mexico City to persuade the president to change his mind. (Santa Anna was out of office from 26 October 1842 to 4 March 1843, with Nicolás Bravo serving in the Presidential capacity.)
What happened next became known as the \"Black Bean Episode.\" Santa Anna promised the foreign ministers that he would show mercy, and then modified his decree to order the decimation of the Mier prisoners; in other words, the execution of every tenth man. At **El Rancho Salado**, which was presumably in the state of Coahuila, on March 25, 1843 -- three months after the Battle of Mier -- the prisoners were forced to draw a bean from a jar (while blindfolded) containing 159 white beans and 17 black beans. At dusk that day, those unlucky enough to draw a black bean were shot to death, in two groups.
Cameron had drawn a white bean, which should have saved his life. However, he had earned the hostility of Mexican Colonel Antonio Canales Rosillo, for his role in the embarrassing defeat in his battle (July 1842 at Fort Lipantitlán, near Corpus Christi, Texas), and for leading the escape attempt. Canales intervened with Santa Anna, and he agreed. Cameron was shot by a firing squad at Perote Prison on April 26, 1843.
The remaining prisoners were put to work on a road gang. In September 1843, most of them were confined at the notorious Perote Prison in the state of Veracruz, while a few were separated from the group and scattered into other prisons around Mexico. Over the next few months, some managed to escape, while others died of wounds, disease, and starvation. Diplomats from the United States and Great Britain worked for the release of the Mier prisoners. They were eventually paroled in piecemeal fashion, with the last prisoner going home in September 1844.
In 1847, during the Mexican--American War, the remains of the men executed in the Black Bean Episode were retrieved from Mexico and interred near La Grange, Texas, (with those who died in the Dawson Massacre), at which site has been established a monument.

# Ciudad Mier
## History
### Fidel Castro in Mier {#fidel_castro_in_mier}
One historic event from Mier occurred in 1956 involving Fidel Castro. At that time Ciudad Mier had near 4,000 inhabitants. Its isolation and close proximity with the U.S. border led to it becoming a mecca for smugglers.
Fidel Castro had learned of the fashion in which any merchandise could be crossed illegally by the Rio Grande into Mier. At that time Castro was preparing for a revolution in Cuba and was meeting with leaders in Mexico City. Castro needed weapons and went to Mier to obtain them. Mier town historian Antonio Guerra said only the best smugglers received the assignment.
The operation was assigned to Juan \'El Chapiado\' González, from Mier, and Santiago \'El Chago\' Guerra, from Agualeguas (Nuevo León). These men acquired the weapons in the United States then passed them over the Rio Grande in boats. When they disembarked the weapons were then unloaded at the Los Guajes Ranch, owned by Jesus \'El Gavilan\' Ramírez.
Family and acquaintances of these men relate that after hiding the weapons, the group was directed to travel to the Cantina de la Loma del Peligro bar, many miles down the highway leading from Mier to Ciudad Guerrero. There they met the buyer of the merchandise. In the bar it was agreed that the weapons would continue south, leaving Mier to Aldamas. From there they would travel to Veracruz where they would be loaded into a yacht named Granma.
Castro later confirmed that the weapons leading to the Cuban revolution indeed passed through Mier with the help of Mexican smugglers.
## Abandonment
Ciudad Mier was largely abandoned in 2010 due to the bloody turf war between the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas after the death of Antonio Cárdenas Guillén, the drug boss of the Gulf organization. The fight between the drug cartels resulted in the death or kidnapping of all the police forces in the municipality of Ciudad Mier.
Approximately 95% of the population left Ciudad Mier and went to Miguel Alemán, Tamaulipas, as a result of the violence generated by the drug cartels in the Mexican Drug War. Consequently, the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón, ordered the creation of a military headquarters in the area, and now more than 600 military elements patrol the streets of Mier.

## Reception
*Kirkus Reviews* wrote: \"Children will enjoy the story's gentle, rhythmic exploration of pet relationships.\" *Publishers Weekly* also wrote: \"McCarty\'s parallel sentences and soft-focus pencil illustrations hint that Hondo and Fabian are too well-fed to stray. His characteristic pattern, one framed image and one sentence per spread, slows the pace. Yet the artist lends an enigmatic feline quality to Fabian\'s alert ears and confidently stiff tail, and a glimmer of mischief around Hondo\'s beady eyes and plush golden contours.\" *The Horn Book* wrote: \"Part two in the parallel adventures of the cat and dog introduced in McCarty\'s Hondo and Fabian has the same low-key charm as the first volume

# Crates of Athens
**Crates of Athens** (Greek: Κράτης ὁ Ἀθηναῖος; died 268--264 BC) was a Platonist philosopher and the last scholarch of the Old Academy.
## Biography
Crates was the son of Antigenes of the Thriasian deme, the pupil and eromenos of Polemo, and his successor as scholarch of the Platonic Academy, in 270--69 BC. The intimate friendship of Crates and Polemo was celebrated in antiquity, and Diogenes Laërtius has preserved an epigram of the poet Antagoras, according to which the two friends were united after death in one tomb. The epigram, according to him, reads: \"Stranger, who passest by, relate that here The God-like Crates lies, and Polemo; Two men of kindred nobleness of mind; Out of whose holy mouths pure wisdom flowed, And they with upright lives did well display, The strength of all their principles and teaching.\"
The most distinguished of the pupils of Crates were the philosopher Arcesilaus, who succeeded him as scholarch, Theodorus the Atheist, and Bion of Borysthenes. The writings of Crates are lost. Diogenes Laërtius says that they were on philosophical subjects, on comedy, and also orations; but the latter were probably written by Crates of Tralles

# The Cat Above and the Mouse Below
***The Cat Above and the Mouse Below*** is the second of thirty-four Tom and Jerry shorts produced by Chuck Jones, released in 1964. It was directed by Jones, co-directed by Maurice Noble, and is the second short written by Michael Maltese.
## Plot
Tom is a famous singer announced as \"Signor Thomasino Catti-Cazzaza Baritone\", who will perform at a concert to sing \"Largo al factotum\" from *The Barber of Seville*. Tom arrives in a very long limousine, and emerges, tossing a rose into a frenzied crowd. He walks on stage to applause, which he interrupts with a simple hand gesture, and begins to sing for the audience watching. While all of this is taking place, down below the stage, Jerry is trying to sleep but is awakened by Tom\'s operatic tones.
Jerry tries to gesture for Tom to stop, by banging on the stage with a toothbrush but in return Tom, while singing, stomps on the floor enough to get Jerry to shake and bounce around his \"room\". Enraged, Jerry uses a hammer to pound a floorboard, shooting Tom out of his tuxedo into the air, from where he falls back into it, but upside down, and legs through sleeves. Tom tiptoes offstage to change back to normal.
Next, Tom sings again, this time, stomping the floor while performing, much harder than before, creating a huge rumble in Jerry\'s house, eventually causing Jerry\'s bed to collapse on top of him. Jerry thinks it\'s war and decides to get revenge. Tom continues the performance and Jerry holds up a sign through the vent onstage that has \"PSST\" written on it. Tom continues singing as he pokes his head in, and Jerry snaps his lips closed in a pucker with a doubled rubber band. In retaliation, Tom uses the rubber band to shoot a long staple into the vent, which shoots down, ricochets several times, and then whisks Jerry right out of his nightshirt, and pins him up on the wall by his neck. Jerry crosses his arms, one leg over the other, and then \"taps\" his foot midair, looking exceedingly annoyed.
As Tom sings in the middle of his performance, Jerry manages to get free from the staple and at the side of the stage licks a lemon so Tom gets sour by the thought of the scene, and salivating, his lips pucker and shrink. Frustrated, he goes to Jerry and while continuing to sing, juices the lemon on Jerry\'s head. Tom returns to the spotlight. Jerry then drills a hole in the floor In between Tom's feet and uses a hooked wire to pull the bottom of Tom\'s cummerbund apart, causing it to spring up and whap him in the face. Tom grabs the wire and yanks it up and down banging Jerry\'s head on the board until Jerry thinks to let it go. While Tom is singing the \"*Figaro!*\" part, Jerry aims a plunger at Tom\'s mouth and scores a direct hit. Jerry imitates Tom mockingly, but then Tom sticks him to the floor with the plunger. Using Jerry\'s bow, he shoots Jerry in the plunger onto a wall offstage and resumes his singing.
Jerry frees himself and accidentally drops a huge sandbag on Tom as he is reaching the climax, causing him to get knocked through the floor with a loud crash. Everything is mostly silent up until Jerry walks onto the stage in a tuxedo. Now the mouse is above, and the cat is stuck below, with his head flattened by the sandbag hit, and Jerry sings the last section of the performance himself (albeit in a high-pitched voice). An infuriated (and obviously upstaged) Tom raps on the floor with a broom and sends Jerry flying, but this just adds to the sensational mouse\'s drama singing the final few notes, as he makes a graceful balletic landing before receiving loud applause. The words \"The End\" then appear on the close curtains.

# John Bahnsen
**John C.** \"**Doc**\" **Bahnsen Jr.** (November 8, 1934 -- February 21, 2024) was a United States Army brigadier general and decorated veteran of the Vietnam War.
## Early years {#early_years}
John Charles Bahnsen Jr. was born to John C. Bahnsen and Evelyn Williams in Albany, Georgia. on November 8, 1934. His nickname, \"Doc\", stems from his grandfather, Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, who immigrated with his parents to the United States from Denmark. In 1890, Peter became Georgia\'s first state veterinarian and operated a state-of-the-art dairy farm in Americus, Georgia.
The family moved to Rochelle, Georgia, in 1941, where John Charles Bahnsen\'s father worked as the federal soil conservationist for Wilcox County. Bahnsen attended Rochelle\'s public schools until tenth grade. Later, he went to live with his grandfather and aunt in Americus, Georgia, because the high school curriculum in Americus offered more math and science courses than Rochelle\'s. After 18 months in Americus, he gained admission to Marion Military Institute in Marion, Alabama. Bahnsen was then appointed to the United States Military Academy by United States Senator Walter F. George, a close political acquaintance of his grandfather Bahnsen.
## West Point {#west_point}
Bahnsen began his studies at West Point in 1952. He won his numerals as a pole vaulter on the plebe track and field team. He also participated on intramural teams, including wrestling, lacrosse, swimming, football, and soccer.
As a cadet, Bahnsen met George S. Patton IV and Hank Emerson, who were then assigned to West Point as tactical officers, and they became his mentors. Bahnsen was a mediocre student, but excelled in military science and physical education courses On June 5, 1956, he graduated with a commission as an Infantry Second Lieutenant, ranking 406th out of 480 in his class.
## Early career {#early_career}
After graduation from the Infantry Officer Basic Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, Lieutenant Bahnsen attended Airborne School.
He married his childhood sweetheart, Patricia Fitzgerald, prior to attending Fixed Wing Flight School at Camp Gary, Texas and Fort Rucker, Alabama. They had four children: Jon Christian, Bradley Duncan, Leeanne, and James Fitzgerald.
Bahnsen\'s first troop assignment was in West Germany as an aviator in Artillery Flight, 3rd Aviation Company, 3rd Infantry Division. While there he transferred to the Armor branch, which led to command of B Company, 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment. He excelled in command, qualifying all 17 of his company\'s tank crews on their first run at the Tank Crew Qualification Course in Grafenwöhr, for which he received the Army Commendation Medal.
Bahnsen next attended the Rotary Wing Aviator Course at Fort Wolters, Texas, followed by the Armor Officer Advanced Course at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He remained at the Armor School as an instructor of armored cavalry and air cavalry tactics before being assigned to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas to attend the Command and General Staff College.

## Vietnam, first tour {#vietnam_first_tour}
On October 4, 1965, Bahnsen reported for duty with the 145th Combat Aviation Battalion then stationed at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, contiguous to Saigon, and was assigned to command the 118th Aviation Company\'s (Thunderbirds) gunship platoon (Bandits) at Bien Hoa Air Base. Among the highlights of this assignment was a mission to support Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing for Operation Double Eagle, working out of Kỳ Hà south of Da Nang, for which he was awarded his first of five Silver Stars.
Bahnsen\'s brother Peter (USMA, 1958) was in Vietnam at the same time, carrying out a variety of operations for the Special Forces. Peter reportedly rode with Doc on at least one helicopter assault mission.
Soon after returning from Operation Double Eagle, Bahnsen became operations officer for the 118th Aviation Company. Shortly afterwards, he was assigned to the 12th Combat Aviation Group at Long Binh and promoted to major.
While at the 12th Aviation Group Bahnsen created a \"Top Gun\" competition to improve helicopter weapons marksmanship by offering prizes and bragging rights for the best scores.
During this combat tour, Bahnsen had a relationship with Thach Thi Hung, \"the Dragon Lady of Bien Hoa.\" On his departure from Vietnam, she was pregnant. Three months after he left Vietnam, Hung was killed in an automobile accident. Her son, Minh, survived the accident and later made his way to the United States, where he met his father for the first time. Minh later lived with Doc Bahnsen for about a year before returning to his home in California to pursue a career in the film industry. Minh Bahnsen has since worked on several films as an electrician and grip, including *National Treasure* and *Thor*.
## Pentagon duty {#pentagon_duty}
In December 1966, Bahnsen reported for duty with the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Force Development. Assigned as a staff officer in the Army Aviation Directorate, his duties involved verifying the readiness of aviation and air cavalry units set to deploy to Vietnam. During this assignment, he enrolled in graduate courses offered by George Washington University.
In April 1968, Bahnsen was part of the Army\'s response to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., spending a day patrolling Washington, D.C. during the post-assassination rioting.
Bahnsen re-established his relationship with Patton while they were both assigned to The Pentagon, and when Patton rotated to Vietnam to take command of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, he arranged to have Bahnsen released from staff duties early in order to take command of the regiment\'s Air Cavalry Troop.

## Vietnam, second tour {#vietnam_second_tour}
Arriving in Vietnam on October 14, 1968, Bahnsen assumed command of a troop composed of UH-1 \"slicks\" (troop transport helicopters), OH-6 scout helicopters, AH-1 gunships, and an infantry aero rifle platoon (ARPs).
Bahnsen\'s Air Cav troop saw action daily. As an example, one of its ARPs, Specialist Fourth Class Jim Weller, was involved in 300 enemy contacts during his 13 months in Vietnam. Bahnsen frequently fought from the air in his UH-1 command and control helicopter, and often joined his troops on the ground to lead infantry operations. During this period his reputation for combat leadership and courage under fire grew to near-legendary proportions.
On January 1, 1969, Bahnsen was piloting his helicopter during combat when a white phosphorus grenade exploded inside the aircraft. Crew member Rodney J. T. Yano was burned, and ammunition inside the aircraft started to detonate. Though he had lost the use of one arm and couldn\'t see well, he continued to throw burning and exploding munitions off the aircraft, further injuring himself. Yano died as a result, but prevented a crash and additional deaths or injuries to the crew. He received the Medal of Honor, and Bahnsen was active in other efforts to recognize Yano, including a tank range at Fort Knox, a hangar at Fort Rucker, and a vehicle washing facility at Fort Benning.
In January 1969 Bahnsen was involved in an action which included landing under fire to mark a landing zone, firing on the enemy with his rifle while he directed artillery fire from his low-flying command and control helicopter, evacuating his crew members after they were wounded, and leading a subsequent infantry ground attack. He received the Distinguished Service Cross.
During his command he began a relationship with Phyllis \"Fif\" Shaughnessy, a civilian employee of the International Recreation Association under contract with the U.S. State Department. Bahnsen and his wife Pat were divorced at the end of his tour, and he and Fif were married.
Patton was succeeded by Colonel Jimmie Leach, a battle-hardened veteran of World War II and Korea, who assigned Bahnsen to command the regiment\'s 1st Squadron, which included a headquarters troop with aviation section, three armored cavalry troops, a tank company, a howitzer battery, and an attached platoon of combat engineers. Squadrons are normally commanded by lieutenant colonels, and Bahnsen was the only major to command a squadron in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment during the Vietnam War.
Under Bahnsen\'s command, 1st Squadron was engaged in enemy contacts over a broad area of the III Corps Tactical Zone, the military region between Saigon and the Central Highlands, particularly the Iron Triangle, the K4 Woods, the Fishhook, and the Michelin Rubber Plantation. Elements of the squadron were often under the operational control of units in the 1st Infantry Division, 1st Cavalry Division, 25th Infantry Division, and 18th Division.
Bahnsen ended his second tour in Vietnam on September 8, 1969. On September 6, 1st Squadron had a major enemy contact in the Michelin Plantation, for which Bahnsen received his fifth Silver Star.
Bahnsen disagreed with the Nixon Administration\'s efforts to seek a negotiated peace agreement with the North Vietnamese. Bahnsen long argued that the U.S., South Vietnam and other allies were winning the war and would have achieved a military victory had the \"fog of politics\" not obscured the tactical success.

## Post-Vietnam career {#post_vietnam_career}
As a newly promoted lieutenant colonel, Bahnsen was assigned to West Germany as commander of 1st Battalion, 32nd Armor, serving from 1969 to 1971.
After completing his battalion command, Bahnsen attended the Army War College, concurrently completing a Master of Science degree in public administration from Shippensburg State College.
Three years after Bahnsen and Fif Shaughnessy were married, they divorced and Bahnsen remarried his first wife, Pat.
After completing the War College, Bahnsen was assigned to the Combat Arms Training Board at Fort Benning as the Armor team leader. The board worked to develop state-of-the-art training methods and systems, with its most notable success being the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) which remains one of the Army\'s most important training systems.
In 1974 Bahnsen and his wife Pat were divorced for the second time, and he subsequently married Peggy Miller. Miller later joined the Army and served in the Adjutant General Corps, retiring as a lieutenant colonel after 20 years in uniform.
Bahnsen was next assigned to the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), where he played a key role in the establishment of the Fort Irwin National Training Center. He directed major studies to improve Army training and readiness, and oversaw the production of How-To-Fight booklets and training films.
Receiving an early promotion to colonel, Bahnsen was assigned to Fort Rucker as the first TRADOC Program Manager for Attack Helicopters. His next assignment was Commander of the 1st Aviation Brigade. He was then promoted to brigadier general and assigned as Assistant Division Commander of the 2nd Armored Division. He then served as Chief of Staff of the Combined Field Army (Republic of Korea/United States) in South Korea.
After his tour in Korea, Bahnsen was assigned as Chief of Staff for the III Armored Corps at Fort Hood.

## Retirement
Retiring in 1986, Bahnsen returned to West Point, where his wife Peggy was the first woman to serve as a regimental tactical officer (RTO), placing her in command of one-quarter of the Corps of Cadets. He was employed as a Program Manager at BDM Corporation, and then formed his own firm, Bahnsen, Inc., which performed consulting services for military and defense contractors.
After his wife\'s retirement, the Bahnsens settled in her hometown, New Cumberland, West Virginia. In addition to operating the Miller Family Farm, they were active in the Republican Party, and both served on the state Republican Committee. They were participants in Camp Lincoln, a week-long summer camp for West Virginia teenagers.
Bahnsen built a wildlife habitat in one of the farm\'s wooded areas, and raised corn and milo to feed the quail, doves, pheasants, and deer that lived on the property. The Bahnsens maintained a stream-fed pond for fishing. He raised and trained English pointers, hosted an annual invitation-only dove shoot, and hunted fast-flying birds in the Midwest each year.
Active in his West Point class reunions and other events, Bahnsen gave lectures on leadership to Army audiences. He died from heart failure at his home in Rochelle, Georgia, on February 21, 2024, at the age of 89.

# Diamond model
Within international business, the **diamond model**, also known as **Porter\'s Diamond** or the **Porter Diamond Theory of National Advantage**, describes a nation\'s competitive advantage in the international market. In this model, four attributes are taken into consideration: factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries, and firm strategy, structure, and rivalry. According to Michael Porter, the model\'s creator, \"These determinants create the national environment in which companies are born and learn how to compete.\"
## Background
Strategic analysis typically focuses on two views of organization: the industry view and the resource-based view (RBV). These views analyse the organisation without taking into consideration relationship between the organizations strategic choice (i.e. Porter generic strategies) and institutional frameworks. The diamond model is a tool for analyzing the organization\'s task environment. The diamond model highlights that strategic choices should not only be a function of industry structure and a firm\'s resources, it should also be a function of the constraints of the institutional framework. Institutional analysis (such as the diamond model) becomes increasingly important as firms enter new operating environments and operate within new institutional frameworks.
Porter\'s National Diamond framework resulted from a study of patterns of comparative advantage among industrialized nations. It works to integrate much of Porter\'s previous work in his competitive five forces theory, his value chain framework as well as his theory of competitive advantage into a consolidated framework that looks at the sources of competitive advantage sourcable from the national context. It can be used both to analyze a firm\'s ability to function in a national market, as well as analyse a national market\'s ability to compete in an international market.
It recognizes four pillars of research (factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries, firm structure, strategy and rivalry) that one must undertake in analysing the viability of a nation competing in a particular international market, but it also can be used as a comparative analysis tool in recognising which country a particular firm is suited to expanding into.
Two of the aforementioned pillars focus on the (national) macroeconomics environment to determine if the demand is present along with the factors needed for production (i.e. both extreme ends of the value chain). Another pillar focuses on the specific relationships supporting industries have with the particular firm/nation/industry being studied. The last pillar it looks at the firm\'s strategic response (microeconomics) i.e. its strategy, taking into account the industry structure and rivalry (see five forces). In this way it tries to highlight areas of competitive advantage as well as competitive weakness, by looking at a companies/nations suitability to the particular conditions of a particular market.

# Diamond model
## Components
The four different components of the framework are:
### Factor conditions (endowments) {#factor_conditions_endowments}
Factor conditions include the nation\'s production resources, including infrastructure, labor force, land, and natural resources.
According to Porter, \"a nation does not inherit but instead creates the most important factors of production---such as skilled human resources or a scientific base\". A lack of less important factors, such as an unskilled labor force or access to raw materials, can be mediated through technology or by implementing what Porter calls \"a global strategy.\"
Factor endowment can be categorized into two forms:
- \"Home-grown\" resources/highly specialized resources
- Natural endowments
For example, in analyzing Hollywood\'s preeminence in film production, Porter has pointed out the local concentration of skilled labor, including the different schools of film (UCLA and USC) in the area. Also, resource constraints may encourage development of substitute capabilities; Japan\'s relative lack of raw materials has spurred miniaturization and zero-defect manufacturing.
### Related and supporting industries {#related_and_supporting_industries}
This component refers to industries that supply, distribute, or are otherwise related to the industry being examined. For many firms, the presence of related and supporting industries is of critical importance to the growth of that particular industry. A critical concept here is that national competitive strengths tend to be associated with \"clusters\" of industries. For example, Silicon Valley in the US and Silicon Glen in the UK are techno clusters of high-technology industries which includes individual computer software and semi-conductor firms. In Germany, a similar cluster exists around chemicals, synthetic dyes, textiles and textile machinery.
### Demand conditions {#demand_conditions}
Demand conditions in the domestic market provide the primary driver of growth, innovation and quality improvement. The premise is that a strong domestic market stimulates the firm from being a startup to a slightly expanded and bigger organization. As an illustration, we can take the case of Germany which has some of the world\'s premier automobile companies like Mercedes, BMW, Porsche. German auto companies have dominated the world when it comes to the high-performance segment of the world automobile industry. However, their position in the market of cheaper, mass-produced autos is much weaker. This can be linked to a domestic market which has traditionally demanded a high level of engineering performance. Also, the transport infrastructure of Germany, with its Autobahns does tend to favor high-performance automobiles.
### Strategy, structure and rivalry {#strategy_structure_and_rivalry}
National performance in particular sectors is inevitably related to the strategies and the structure of the firms in that sector. Competition plays a big role in driving innovation and the subsequent upgradation of competitive advantage. Since domestic competition is more direct and impacts earlier than steps taken by foreign competitors, the stimulus provided by them is higher in terms of innovation and efficiency. As an example, the Japanese automobile industry with 8 major competitors (Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, Isuzu, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru) provide intense competition in the domestic market, as well as the foreign markets in which they compete.
### Other factors {#other_factors}
Porter identifies two other variables that affect competitiveness. These factors \"support and complement the system of national competitiveness but do not create lasting competitive advantages.\"
#### The role of government {#the_role_of_government}
The role of government in Porter\'s Diamond Model is \"acting as a catalyst and challenger; it is to encourage - or even push - companies to raise their aspirations and move to higher levels of competitive performance \...\" . They must encourage companies to raise their performance, stimulate early demand for advanced products, focus on specialized factor creation and to stimulate local rivalry by limiting direct cooperation and enforcing anti-trust regulations.
#### Chance
The role of chance basically denotes the idea that it may occur that many times a product or an enterprise may get an opportunity to maximize its benefits out of sheer luck. Thus chance plays a key role in determining the fate of the product as well.
## Criticism
Criticism on Porter\'s national diamond model revolve around a number of assumptions that underlie it. As described by Davies and Ellis:
> \"sustained prosperity may be achieved without a nation becoming \'innovation-driven\', strong \'diamonds\' are not in place in the home bases of many internationally successful industries and inward foreign direct investment does not indicate a lack of \'competitiveness\' or low national productivity\".
Porter generalized from the North American, European and Japanese experiences; for countries developing in the presence of these now developed regions of the world, the model may need to be re-examined

# Waste Watch
**Waste Watch** was a non-profit, sustainability organisation based in the UK, inspiring people to live more and waste less. It was a registered charity.
Waste Watch aimed to improve well-being and the environment on a local and global level, by changing the way we live; such as the ways we produce, buy, use and dispose of things. The organisation primarily worked with community groups, businesses, schools and other not-for-profit organisations.
In 2011 Waste Watch merged with the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.
## History
Waste Watch grew out of the community recycling movement in the 1980s. The organisation was founded in 1987, by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, with a mission to make waste issues mainstream and to encourage waste reduction, reuse and recycling.
### Timeline
- 1987\. Ran the UK's first Recycling Week during the European Year of the Environment. During this time, it also published the first UK National Directory of Recycling Information.
- 1991\. Registered as a charity (no. 10054)(1337). During the 1990s, Waste Watch launched telephone information service Wasteline, produced the first UK Recycled Products Guide and lobbied UK government to introduce the first waste strategy for England.
- 1994\. Launched Recycler the rapping robot to deliver the 'reduce, reuse, recycle' message to British primary school children.
- 1999\. Commissioned the first UK-wide survey of public attitudes to waste which shaped the development of future national and local awareness campaigns.
- 2000\. Became a founding member of the UK government-funded Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), whose mission is to help develop markets for material resources that would otherwise have become waste.
- 2011\. Merger with the UK environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.
During the 2000s, Waste Watch ran Rethink Rubbish, which later became the national Recycle Now public awareness campaign.
## Recycler the Robot {#recycler_the_robot}
In 1994, Waste Watch launched Recycler the rapping robot to deliver the 'reduce, reuse, recycle' message to British primary school children. The Recycler show involves story-telling with theatrical props and quizzes, and follow-up activities for the school. Along with an education professional, the robot shows pupils how they can put reducing, reusing and recycling into practice at home and at school.
Recycler has reached more than 1.5 million pupils since 1994, and has visited more than 7,200 schools, performing more than 15,000 times

# Hindu Gymkhana, Karachi
The **Hindu Gymkhana** (Sindhi:هندو جمخانه; *ہندو جِمخانہ}}*) is a colonial-era building located on Sarwar Shaheed Road in Karachi, Pakistan. It was the first public building in Karachi to adopt the Mughal-Revival architectural style. It was established in 1925 by the Karachi\'s Hindus as an exclusive club for their community. The building houses the National Academy of Performing Arts.
## History
The Hindu Gymkhana was established by the Seth Ramgopal Gourdhanandh Mohatta and the Hindu community in 1925 on a plot of 47,000 square yards. It was designed by Agha Ahmed Hussain. It was named Seth Ramgopal Goverdhandas Mohatta Hindu Gymkhana at that time.
After the Independence, the Hindu Gymkhana was taken over by the Evacuee Trust Property Board. In 1978, about 60 per cent the land of Hindu Gymkhana was given to the Police Department and another 6000 square yards were given to the Federal Public Service Commission. Later, 3500 square yards were given to the Aligarh Muslim University and another 400 square yards was allotted to Abdul Majeed Khan received almost of land as an allotment. Currently it has only 4,500 square yards of land compared to 47,000 square yards in 1925. The building\'s condition deteriorated over the years, and it was almost demolished in 1984. It was protected by the intervention of the Heritage Foundation of Pakistan. In 2005, the Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf handed the building over to National Academy of Performing Arts The Hindu Gymkhana now houses Pakistan\'s National Academy of Performing Arts (NAPA) and is run by its chief Zia Mohyeddin -- a prominent stage and Pakistani television personality.
## Architecture
The building was designed by architect Agha Ahmed Hussain, with a design based on the tomb of Itamad-ud-Daulah (1628) in Agra.
The building is small in size (on a plot of land measuring 47,000 square yards) and consists primarily of a hall and some smaller rooms used for administrative purposes. Stone for the 2 ft walls was acquired in Bijapur. The roof line is defined by delicate massing of cupolas and balustrades directly influenced by Akbar\'s Fatehpur Sikri. The octagonal corner towers framing the projecting central jharoka are capped with chattris, highlighting the influence of Rajasthani Style of Palaces. Smaller chattris highlight the corners of the projecting porch that carry the drooping bangladar roof used in Emperor Akbar\'s period.
The projecting *chajjas* are supported by ornamental brackets. The cupolas of the chattris are reinforced concrete and the walls are dressed in Gizri stone. Some of the carved elements are of Jodhpur stone.
## Protected Sindh Cultural Heritage building {#protected_sindh_cultural_heritage_building}
This historic building is widely considered to be an architectural gem in Karachi and is protected under the Sindh Cultural Heritage Protection Act. Therefore, nobody is allowed to carry out new construction, repairs, renovations in this building without the approval of Karachi Building Control Authority and the Government of Sindh.
Surprisingly a historical building like this had deteriorated due to lack of maintenance in the recent past and was going to be demolished in 1984 but the Heritage Foundation Pakistan back then intervened to save it.
## Relocation of NAPA ordered {#relocation_of_napa_ordered}
In December 2018, The Supreme Court of Pakistan had directed the Sindh government to shift NAPA to another location from this Hindu Gymkhana building but, as of 11 February 2020, compliance to this directive could not be made and NAPA was still functioning there.

## Movements by Hindu community to get back Hindu Gymkhana {#movements_by_hindu_community_to_get_back_hindu_gymkhana}
The Hindu Gymkhana belonged to Hindus before Independence. The Hindu community of Karachi have no place in Karachi to celebrate religious festivals. In 1960, the first movement to handover Hindu Gymkhana back to the Hindu community was launched by activists Bhagwandas Chawla, Khubchand Bhatia and Seth T Motandas. However, the movement was ended due to the 1965 war. It was launched again but was ended due to the 1971 war. In 1980, the movement was launched again by Ramesh Mana co-chairperson of Pak-Hindu Welfare Association when the Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq government decided to sell the property. Later another movement was launched by P.K. Shahani, Hindu activist which compelled the parliamentarians to raise this issue in the Pakistan National Assembly and the Hindu Gymkhana was added on the list of heritage sites under the Sindh Heritage Act. But later the Pervez Musharraf's government took over the Hindu Gymkhana and gave it to the National institute of performing arts(NAPA).
In 2009, the Pakistan People\'s Party protested when the president Pervez Musharraf handed over the Hindu Gymkhana to the NAPA. In 2009, the Sassui Palijo, Sindh's Culture Minister said that the Pervez Musharraf hearing his relatives' advice forcefully vacated the Hindu Gymkhana and handes it over to Napa. She added that the Hindu Gymkhana will be reserved for activities of the Hindu community.
In 2014, the Pakistan Hindu Panchayat sent a letter to the Pakistan Chief Justice on the Hindu Gymkhana issue. In 2014, the Shree Ratheshawar Maha Dev Welfare approached the court for giving back the Hindu Gymkhana back to the Hindus

An **ordinary seaman** (OS) is a member of the deck department of a ship. The position is an apprenticeship to become an able seaman, and has been for centuries. In modern times, an OS is required to work on a ship for a specific amount of time, gaining what is referred to as \"sea time\". For centuries, the term ordinary seaman was used to refer to a seaman with between one and two years\' experience at sea, who showed enough seamanship to be so rated by their captain. Historically, in some navies and the merchant marine, a sailor with less experience was called a landsman.
An OS is generally not required to stand watch, but must pass examinations on watchstanding skills such as performing lookout duty and being a helmsman. Thus an OS will often be found on a ship\'s bridge after working hours taking a turn at the ship\'s wheel or being familiarized with bridge equipment.
During the apprenticeship, an OS performs a variety of duties concerned with the operation and upkeep of deck department areas and equipment. These duties vary with the type of ship, the type of voyage, the number of crewmembers, the weather, the supervisor, and any number of other variables. However, in most cases, one can expect an ordinary seaman to clean, to perform maintenance, to work with deck equipment, and to undergo on-the-job-training under the supervision of senior deck department members.
## Duties
As an ordinary seaman, one\'s duties may include the following:

# Aharon Feldman
**Rabbi Aharon Feldman** (*אהרן פלדמן*; born 1932) is an Orthodox Jewish rabbi and rosh yeshiva (dean) of Yeshivas Ner Yisroel (Ner Israel Rabbinical College) in Baltimore, Maryland. He has held this position since 2001. He is also a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah (Council of Torah Sages).
## Biography
Rabbi Aharon Feldman is the son of Rabbi Joseph Feldman (died 1993), a native of Warsaw and scion of a rabbinical family. Rabbi Josef H. Feldman served as a rabbi in Manchester, New Hampshire in the 1930s, but left that post to assume the helm of Baltimore\'s Franklin Street Synagogue so his sons could attend a Hebrew day school. He was the last rabbi to formally serve as chief rabbi of Baltimore. Rabbi Aharon Feldman has two brothers; his elder brother, Rabbi Emanuel Feldman, was the prominent spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Jacob of Atlanta, Georgia for 40 years. His younger brother, Rabbi Joel Feldman, was a former dean of Talmudical Academy of Baltimore.
Rabbi Feldman was born and raised in Baltimore, where he attended the Talmudical Academy and Ner Yisroel, becoming a close disciple of the Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Yitzchak Ruderman.
He went on to study under Rabbi Yitzchak Hutner and then Rabbi Aryeh Leib Malin, who had \"the most profound influence\" in Feldman\'s Talmudic studies and introduced him to the Brisker method.
Afterwards he taught in several yeshivas in New York. He has dual citizenship to both Israel and America.
In 1961 Rabbi Feldman and his wife Leah made aliyah with their family to Israel in order to raise their eight children in a more religious environment. They lived in Bnei Brak for 12 years and relocated to Jerusalem in 1973. Rabbi Feldman served as one of the Rosh Yeshivas of Ohr Somayach Yeshiva for many years, and also founded Yeshiva Be\'er HaTorah in Jerusalem in the early 1990s.
In 2001 Rabbi Feldman accepted the request of Ner Yisroel to serve as its Rosh Yeshiva. Before returning to the United States he consulted with Rabbis Yosef Shalom Elyashiv and with Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman who both counseled him to take the position in America.

## Public positions {#public_positions}
In 1994, Rabbi Feldman spoke publicly against the actions of Baruch Goldstein saying that there could be \"no justification\", and describing the actions as \"way beyond the pale\".
In 2003, in response to a question from Gil Student, Feldman issued a ruling regarding Chabad messianists. He drew a distinction between what he terms the \"*meshichists*\" (those who believe the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson is the messiah) and the \"*elokists*\" (those who believe he was a part of God or God \"clothed in a body\"). He ruled that it is forbidden to associate with *elokists* under any circumstances due to their heresy and that they cannot be counted for a *minyan*, stating that most Chabad adherents do not fall under that category. Regarding the *meshichists*, he determined that while their beliefs do not make them heretics, it is forbidden to conduct any action which would be seen as lending credence to their messianic beliefs.
Feldman has penned a lengthy critical review of the Steinsaltz Talmud. Among many criticisms, he writes, \"Specifically, the work is marred by an extraordinary number of inaccuracies stemming primarily from misreadings of the sources; it fails to explain those difficult passages which the reader would expect it to explain; and it confuses him with notes which are often irrelevant, incomprehensible, and contradictory.\" Feldman says he fears that, \"An intelligent student utilizing the Steinsaltz Talmud as his personal instructor might in fact conclude that Talmud in general is not supposed to make sense.\" Furthermore, writes Feldman, the Steinsaltz Talmud gives off the impression that the Talmud is intellectually flabby, inconsistent, and often trivial.
In 2005, he wrote a critique of Rabbi Natan Slifkin, explaining and defending the 2004 ban issued against Slifkin\'s books.
Feldman has been an opponent of Open Orthodoxy. He argues that \"The basis of Orthodox Judaism is a belief in the Divine origin of both the Oral and Written Torah. Yeshivat Chovevei Torah's leaders or their graduates have said clearly or implicitly on many occasions that they do not accept that the Torah was authored by Hashem, that parts of the Torah can be excised, and that the Oral Law was developed by Rabbis to adjust the Written Torah to the realities of the time that they lived in. This basic philosophy is what writes them out of Orthodox Jewry.\"
Rav Feldman has written and spoken strongly against the ideology of Zionism. In a letter to R. Aharon Lichtenstein, he quoted their mutual Rebbe, Rav Yitzhok Hutner as saying that Zionism is \"pure apikorsus.\" He also quoted Rav Yosef Dov HaLevi Soloveitchik (R. Lichtenstein\'s father in law) "I remember my father used to say, 'leum'us \[Zionism\] is apikorsus".
In 2020, Rav Feldman gave the keynote address at the Annual Agudah Convention. He spoke about the fact that the Eretz Hakodesh slate joining the WZO violated what a century of Gedolei Torah (from the Chofetz Chaim to Rav Elyashiv) warned Torah Jews not to do. He asserted that alleged support for the project from Rav Chaim was not true. He stated that all of the reasons the Gedolim had for not joining in with the Zionist organization still held today. Among the reasons he gave is that in order to join one had to agree to the kfirah of the Jerusalem Program, and that by joining with reform and other groups it seems like a legitimization of those groups, which are strictly forbidden. He described the kefirah of Zionism as a dismantling of the Torah by making the land, language, and culture central to the Jewish People as opposed to only the Torah

# Ashburn, Ontario
**Ashburn** is a hamlet in the town of Whitby, Durham Region, Ontario, Canada, located approximately 15 kilometres north of the town core, and centred on the intersection of Ashburn Road and Myrtle Road. It is a rural settlement area on the Oak Ridges Moraine, situated on the headwaters of the Lynde Creek watershed and part of Ontario\'s protected Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt.
## History
The community was originally named *Butler\'s Corners* after settler Richard Butler in 1832. The first European settlers were primarily Scottish immigrants. A much earlier native settlement on the Lynde Creek immediately south of the hamlet has been documented. In the late 1830s, the Windsor Road Company was created and a road was built from Windsor Harbour (Whitby) to Butler\'s Corners. The first store was opened in 1847. The name \"Ashburn\" was eventually chosen in 1850 because of the community\'s connection to the potash industry. \"Asheries were built to produce potash from the trees that were cleared during the settlement of Whitby Township.\" The original spelling---Ashbourne, after Ashbourne, Derbyshire in England---was changed in error due to the cancellation stamp used by the post office (est. 1852).
In 1857, Whitby Township was divided into two municipalities: East Whitby, and Whitby. Ashburn was one of the principal villages of Township of Whitby, together with Brooklin and Myrtle. In 1869, Ashburn had a population between 100 and 250, with a stage coach to Uxbridge and Whitby, daily mail, an Orange Society (No. 176), three stores, two hotels and several blacksmiths and wagonmakers. Between 1870 and 1872, a railway was built from Port Whitby on Lake Ontario to Port Perry on Lake Scugog, crossing Myrtle Road two kilometres east of Ashburn. The Port Whitby and Port Perry Railway---which was dismantled in 1941---allowed the hamlets of Whitby Township to ship grain and timber south to the railway mainlines along Lake Ontario. In 1875, the hamlet had a population of 150. In the nineteenth century the local Agricultural Society regularly held cattle fairs in the village. By 1910, the village\'s population declined to 100, and had a daily stage to the railway station in Myrtle. It was serviced by the Claremont and Ashburn Telephone Company, which later became part of the York and Ontario Telephone Union. The Burns Presbyterian Church has been central to the community since its beginnings in 1849. The first church building was constructed in 1857. It was completely destroyed by fire in 1967, and a new building was completed in 1968. In 2012 a major addition and renovation was undertaken by the congregation.
The Ashburn School House (after 1967 a community centre) was built circa 1861 by William Pearson (1833--1897), a Scottish builder who constructed many fine stone houses in Whitby and Pickering; each wall was constructed in a different style to showcase Pearson\'s masonry skill. The school was designated a \"cultural heritage property\" in 1984. In 1866, the school had about 80 pupils. Today, the designated primary schools for Ashburn are in the neighbouring community of Brooklin, and the secondary schools in urban Whitby.
On January 1, 1968, Whitby and the Township of Whitby, which included Ashburn and the three rural hamlets of Brooklin, Myrtle and Myrtle Station, amalgamated into the new Town of Whitby. The hamlet received a house numbering system in the 1980s.
In 1972 Ashburn added only its third street when the Bryson family sold 9 acres in the northeast quadrant of the village to a developer with the stipulation that the street servicing the development be named after their two children, Glen and Laura.
In 1999 the community was visited by Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and in 2000 Ashburn celebrated its 150th anniversary.
## Geography
Ashburn is designated as an Oak Ridges Moraine Rural Settlement Area, and development is limited by the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act of 2001. Its surrounding area has a high aquifer vulnerability, and the western edge has a woodland and wetland designated as hydrologically sensitive. The Ashburn subwatershed (which extends as far north as Chalk Lake), is home to the redside dace, a provincially designated endangered species threatened in the Lynde watershed by destroyed or degraded habitat. In response to local environmental concerns, some citizens of Ashburn have formed the *Ashburn Environmental Coalition.*

## Demographics
Statistics Canada offers a 2006 Cumulative Profile for Ashburn and region (including Myrtle the western section of neighbouring Brooklin), with a total population of 6,409 and 2,198 dwellings. Because of a building surge in Brooklin, the population increased by 64% from 2001 to 2006. In 2006, there were 565 people over the age of 65. 560 individuals had a mother-tongue other than English or French, with Tamil the most frequently spoken language in homes after English and French. 880 people came to Canada as immigrants, 385 of whom were fourteen years or younger in 2006. 540 are visible minorities (210 Black; 105 South Asian). There were 90 with Aboriginal identity. Outside of the medical professions, no one had an earned doctorate. The median income in 2005 for the population 15 years and older was \$39,705, with a median family income of \$98,250 (comparison: Whitby as a whole, \$84,219; Ontario: \$60,455). The average value of non-farm, non-reserve private dwellings was \$371,655 (comparison: Whitby as a whole, \$314,350).
Contextual information for Ashburn\'s designated primary schools (in the neighbouring hamlet of Brooklin) indicates a lower percentage of children born outside of Canada than the regional and provincial averages, and far fewer bilingual children.
## Economy
Ashburn is a traditionally agricultural community. Today it is home to Greenwood Mushroom Farm, one of the three largest mushroom farms in Canada. The operation moved its headquarters and main production site from Pickering to Ashburn in 1993. In 2004, the operation employed 220 individuals. In 2011, the Ashburn company received a grant of \$3.1 million under Ontario\'s Rural Economic Development Program (RED), to expand their facilities on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and to support the creation of 80 new jobs. In July 2004, 150 residents of Ashburn filed a \$10 million civil lawsuit against Greenwood Mushroom Farm, claiming that the stench from the farm created a nuisance, and that its noxious odours violated the Environmental Protection Act.
The hamlet is home to a number of sporting facilities: the Royal Ashburn Golf Club (est. 1962), which has been ranked as one of the top fifty public golf courses in Canada, the Heather Glen Golf Course, and Ski Dagmar.
Also located in Ashburn is a fully wheelchair accessible working farm and registered charity, WindReach Farm. WindReach has welcomed more than 20,000 visitors with physical and/or intellectual disabilities annually and works with nearly 350 community organizations. Its Para-Dressage CPEDI3 competition attracts elite para-equestrian athletes from around the world.
## Transportation
Ashburn is easily accessible from Highway 407, which begins 17 kilometres south-west of the hamlet in the village of Brougham. Highway 7 and Highway 12 pass through the neighbouring hamlet of Myrtle, 3 kilometres east of Ashburn, leading south through Whitby to Highway 401 (17 kilometres) and north to the Trans-Canada Highway (35 kilometres). Myrtle Road is an important local east-west corridor, which has created safety concerns for walkers around the hamlet\'s main intersection at Ashburn Road.
In 1990, Via Rail ceased passenger service on the Havelock-Peterborough-Toronto line, which runs across the northern edge of Ashburn and stops in the neighbouring hamlet of Myrtle Station. In recent years, there has been significant local, federal and provincial support for a plan to restore passenger service to this line. The station would complement growth projections for the north end of Whitby.
A future opportunity and challenge to the community of Ashburn and its neighbours is the proposed development of an international airport 12 kilometers west of the village on the Pickering Airport lands. Under the current plan, the approach for one of the three landing strips would be directly south of Ashburn, with planes descending near the hamlet from an elevation of 521 metres to 480 metres. The plan anticipates 11.9 million passengers per year (or 32,600 per day) by 2032. A \"Needs Assessment Study\" was completed by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority for the federal government in May 2010. After a \"due diligence review,\" Transport Canada released the report in July 2011.
## Festivals
Annually the community hosts Ashburn Canada Day Festivities at Ashburn Park.

# Post and core
A **post and core** crown is a type of dental restoration required where there is an inadequate amount of sound tooth tissue remaining to retain a conventional crown. A post is cemented into a prepared root canal, which retains a core restoration, which retains the final crown.
The role of the post is firstly to retain a core restoration and crown, and secondly to redistribute stresses down onto the root, thereby reducing the risk of coronal fracture. The post does not play any role in reinforcing or supporting the tooth and can in fact make it more likely to fracture at the root.
When deciding whether or not a tooth requires a post and core crown rather than a conventional crown, the following must be established:
1. Presence of an adequate ferrule (coronal tooth structure)
2. Sufficient length of canal to retain a post
3. Curvature and overall anatomy of root canal system
4. Sufficient root (radicular) dentine thickness for post preparation
5. Restorability of tooth
The benefit of placing a post into a root canal is improved retention of the crown. However, there are also disadvantages, during the preparation for the post space there is a risk of perforation, a post can also make a tooth more likely to fracture, it makes future orthograde root canal treatment much more difficult and finally it is very destructive and requires excessive removal of tooth tissue. The presence of ferrule can increase the fracture resistance of the post.
Posts are more commonly required for anterior teeth rather than posterior teeth. The primary reason for this is that multi-rooted teeth have a large pulp chamber which can be utilised for retention of the core and therefore the crown, whereas anterior teeth are much smaller and less retentive.
When it is not possible to retain a core on a posterior tooth and a post is required, no more than one post should be used per tooth, and this should be placed in the largest canal available. This is because more than one preparation for a post will involve excessive dentine removal and increase the fracture risk. A better alternative to posts on a posterior tooth is core restoration which extends down into the entrance of the root canal through the Nayyar technique using an amalgam dowel--core. In this technique, retention for the amalgam-core is derived from the remaining pulp chamber and the prepared canals by extending amalgam to these areas.
Post and cores divide into two main groups: prefabricated and cast. Both of these systems employ a post that is placed within the root canal of the tooth being restored. Thus the tooth must first be endodontically treated. After the endodontic procedure has been completed, and the root canal(s) is/are filled with the inert gutta percha root canal filling material, some gutta percha is removed from the canal space. Gutta percha can be removed mechanically (use of Gates Glidden), thermally (use of System B Tip), and chemically (use of chemical solvents, however this method is not advocated nowadays due to difficulty in controlling the depth of softening) The space that exists coronal to the remaining gutta percha, called the post space, is now available within which to place a post. It is desirable to leave sufficient root filling material in the apical area to maintain an apical seal. This procedure does not even require local anesthesia as the tooth has long been dead after the root canal treatment and no pain is felt.

# Post and core
## Post length {#post_length}
In post and core fabrication, it is desirable that the post descend at least two-thirds of the length of root canal (or not less than the height of the crown) in order to provide sufficient retention. Width of post should be taken into account for maximum strength and resistance to fracture, however, it should not be too broad as this would lead to lateral perforation and root fracture.
It is important to leave at least 4 mm-5 mm of gutta percha at the apex of the root canal, even at the expense of a longer post, because it is within the apical 4 mm of the root canal that the apical delta anastomose with the exterior surface of the root. Should these lateral canals not be blocked with the gutta percha and the cement used to place the gutta percha, the chances of microleakage and percolation of microbes are greatly increased, thereby increasing the likelihood of an endodontic failure.
It is not necessarily the length of the post within the root canal that provides for retention of the core, and thus the eventual crown, but rather the length of post that will exist within root structure *that exists within surrounding bone*. If the post is 16 mm long, but only extends 4 mm into root structure that is surrounded by solid bone, the restoration will have a poor prognosis. This consideration of crown-to-root ratio is essential when evaluating the tooth for a crown-lengthening procedure.
In the picture at right, the two teeth on the extreme left and right are the ones under discussion. The two teeth in the middle have been endodontically treated, but do not have post and cores.

# Post and core
## Types
### Prefabricated post {#prefabricated_post}
Prefabricated post and cores take less time to place, as they do not involve any lab work and can be inserted immediately upon the decision to utilize them, once the endodontic therapy has been completed and the post space cleared of gutta percha. After the prefabricated post is properly cemented into the post space, a core material, such as dental composite, can be packed around the cemented post. After the material has been cured or has had a chance to set and properly formed into a crown preparation, an impression can be taken for the fabrication of a prosthetic crown.
Metal prefabricated post systems are being superseded by fibre-reinforced composite resin post systems which offer improved resistance to untreatable fracture of tooth substrate such as vertical root fracture.
### Cast post {#cast_post}
In cases where the post space is not a good match for a prefabricated post, a cast post and core can be custom fabricated for the tooth. A resin pattern is produced by placing a preformed plastic \"burnout\" post into the post space and a resin material, such as Duralay resin, is used to build up the tooth to the proper dimensions. When this is completed, the pattern resin/plastic post is removed from the tooth structure and attached to a sprue former, much in the same way as is done with the wax pattern of a crown, and a single-unit cast post and core can thus be fabricated out of gold, titanium or another metal using the lost-wax technique. Alternatively, an impression can be taken of the post space and dental arch using a plastic post and a polyvinyl siloxane impression material, and this used to construct a suitable post in the dental laboratory.

# Post and core
## Materials used for posts {#materials_used_for_posts}
Posts can be made from non-metallic materials and metals.
### Non-metallic {#non_metallic}
Overall, non-metallic posts show a lower incidence of root fracture due to their ability to resist high stress without permanent deformation and breaking. Non-metallic posts should not be used if there is insufficient sound tooth tissue (ferrule). The sound tooth tissue should be at least 1.5 mm circumferentially further apical to the core. Non-metallic posts are also more aesthetic than metal posts as metal posts will shine through all-ceraminc restorations and non-metallic posts\' optical properties are closer to tooth tissue (except for carbon fibre posts due to the darker material). Non-metallic posts are easier to remove from teeth if needed than metal posts. Direct use of non-metallic posts in the most common use but they can also be built up in the laboratory.
#### Zirconia
Zirconia posts have high strength. However, they are brittle and have a high modulus which can potentially lead to root fracture. It can be difficult to remove the posts if needed. Zirconium posts can\'t be etched, thus leading to difficulty in retention of composite core.
#### Ceramic
Ceramic posts are made from a brittle material. These posts can be too strong which can lead to root fracture. It can be difficult and even impossible to remove a ceramic post.
#### Fibre reinforced resins {#fibre_reinforced_resins}
Fibre reinforced resins are a form of non-metallic posts and include carbon fibre, fibreglass and woven polyethylene ribbon-reinforced composites. These posts are more flexible, more aesthetic, and they have similar properties to dentine. However, they can only be used when there is sufficient tooth tissue remaining as they can delaminate upon exposure to moisture and this can lead to post failure.
##### Carbon fibre {#carbon_fibre}
Carbon fibre posts show very little deformation and are able to absorb and transfer forces similarly to dentine. However, these posts can be dark in colour which may lead to an unaesthetic result as the post can shine through the tooth.
##### Glass fibre/ fibreglass {#glass_fibre_fibreglass}
Glass fibre posts are less brittle than ceramic posts. Posts that have unidirectional fibres are the strongest. However, it is difficult to produce this type of material as fibre bundles require infiltration and wetting with resin. This process can often leave voids on the surface of the fibres, leading to a weakened structure.
### Metals
Traditionally metal posts have been used due to the good corrosion resistance and high yield strength.
#### Prefabricated metal posts {#prefabricated_metal_posts}
Stainless steel, titanium, titanium alloy and gold alloy are used to construct prefabricated posts. These types of posts are usually placed in the post space and the core is constructed with a direct restorative core material.
There are also prefabricated posts for which cores are cast onto. These posts are usually made of Type IV gold alloy (containing gold, platinum, palladium and iridium) or platinum, gold and iridium alloys, which are compatible with palladium and silver-free alloys or platinum, gold, palladium and silver alloy.
#### Cast metal posts {#cast_metal_posts}
Often a metal alloy such as Type IV gold alloy is used.

# Post and core
## Post design {#post_design}
There are many types of post designed available for post and cores, utilizing various combinations of the following properties:
- parallel vs. tapered
- smooth-sided vs. serrated vs. threaded
- post only vs. with additional single-circle ring
In a classic case one of the best designs for a post to decrease the risk of failure is the *narrowest and longest smooth, parallel post that one can fit into the post space*. Utilizing the longest possible post ensures that the forces transmitted from the crown are distributed over as much of the root as possible. Using the appropriate diameter post ensures that as much natural tooth structure as possible is left to support the post and absorb the transmitted forces. A parallel post ensures the greatest retention of the post within the canal, and is perhaps utilized with only the slightest loss of tooth structure to the internal wall of the canal. A smooth-surfaced post transmits all the forces apically, which can cause fracture. Threaded or roughened posts, however, distribute the forces along the canal and are also more retentive than smooth posts. The ideal post is therefore parallel and threaded/roughened.
The use of a post and core does not strengthen the tooth prior to restoration with a crown; rather, it may contribute to the weakening of the tooth structure, as the forces placed upon the future prosthetic crown and core are now transmitted along virtually the entire length of the brittle, endodontically treated tooth. This inherent drawback is taken into account when the prognosis of the finished restoration is determined and explained to the patient prior to the onset of treatment. It is because of this increased risk of failure inherent in the use of post and core restorations that, when all of the independent failure rates of the many procedures needed for the restoration of the tooth are considered together (endodontic treatment, crown lengthening (when indicated), post and core and prosthetic crown), the patient is sometimes advised to have the tooth extracted and an implant placed.
The post with additional single-circle ring increases the contact surface area between the core and involved hard tissue of tooth significantly, therefore this system does not require a post with at least 2/3 of the root canal depth as its indication.

## Impressions
To ensure accurate recording of the preparation and finish line, gingival retraction is needed. Its use displaces the gingival tissues long enough to allow the impression material to flow down below the margin preparation lines and into the orifice. The use of the gingival retraction cord is a safe method as when used correctly will not harm the gingival tissues whilst ensuring the detail recorded is of good quality.
The various types of gingival retraction cords that can be used are twisted, braided and knitted. The use of all three requires pre-soaking in either water or an agent that encourages haemostasis. The haemostatic agent controls gingival haemorrhage following the preparation and prior to impression making.
Once the cord has been left in place for the required length of time, it is removed allowing the sulcus to be rinsed and dried in order to prevent the haemostatic agent from creating problems with the set of the impression material.
The two methods used for making impressions for post and cores are outlined below.
### Direct technique {#direct_technique}
- The material used with the post to create the pattern for both the post and core is a self-cure acrylic resin
- The wall of the canal is lubricated before the self-cure resin is placed within the intra-radicular portion of the canal around the post to ensure it has adhered and adapted to the post correctly
- Once set, the post is removed and examined for deficiencies. If any deficiencies are present that are not minor enough to be managed with wax, a remake of the impression will be required
- Once satisfied with the post, the core portion is built-up before it is refined to achieve the desired shape
- The occlusal clearance is assessed and the pattern is examined for a final time before sending to the laboratory for casting
### Indirect technique {#indirect_technique}
- The post is bevelled to ensure a better fit within the canal as the preparation for the post will end in a point due to the instruments used for the preparation
- The post is then seated to the correct length and tested to confirm it resists displacement
- The occlusal end is trimmed until it is at the same level as the adjacent teeth and is made retentive with the use of a heated instrument

The **Dandaraga Road District** was created on 27 February 1890. It was renamed the *Dandaragan Road District* on 22 July 1932. On 1 July 1961, it became a shire following the enactment of the *Local Government Act 1960*, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.
Until the late 1960s it was a sparsely populated agricultural shire, but the coastal towns of Jurien Bay and Cervantes and the popularity of The Pinnacles Desert with tourists have helped to fuel the shire\'s growth. Originally the shire\'s main administration centre was in the small town of Dandaragan, however due to the disproportionate population growth in the town of Jurien Bay the administration was relocated there in 2003.
## Wards
On 22 May 1971, the shire was divided into Coastal, Central, North and South wards, and its representation increased from seven to nine councillors. Over time, the Coastal ward increased in size, and ultimately on 2 May 1987, the ward was abolished and two new wards, Cervantes and Jurien, were created. By 3 November 1989, the following wards existed: `{{Div col |colwidth=30em}}`{=mediawiki}
- Jurien Ward (three councillors)
- Cervantes Ward (two councillors)
- Badgingarra Ward (two councillors) (formerly North Ward)
- Dandaragan Ward (three councillors) (formerly South Ward)
On 7 May 2005, the shire was redivided into two wards: `{{Div col |colwidth=30em}}`{=mediawiki}
- North Ward (five councillors)
- South Ward (four councillors)
By the 2009 Council elections all wards had been abolished and nine councillors represent the whole shire.

# FITALY
**FITALY** is a keyboard layout specifically optimized for stylus or touch-based input. The design places the most common letters closest to the centre to minimize distance travelled while entering a word. The name, FITALY, is derived from the letters occupying the second row in the layout (as QWERTY comes from the first row of standard keyboards).
In the first of several keyboards in the system, lowercase letters are arranged in the following pattern:
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
z v c h w k
f i t a l y
n e
g d o r s b
q j u m p x
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
There are uppercase, numeric, and symbol keyboards as well, and various strokes (rather than taps) are used for both shifting case and selecting symbols. For details, see the manufacturer\'s site (below).
Fitaly was invented and patented by Jean Ichbiah and is commercialised by the company he founded, Textware Solutions.
The aim of the design is to optimise text entry by organising keys to minimise key-to-key finger movement, allowing faster input through one-finger entry (compared to ten digits required to type efficiently on QWERTY layout). As compared to the three-row QWERTY keyboard, FITALY has five rows with at most six letters in a row (as opposed to the ten on QWERTY).
Keys are arranged based on individual frequencies of letters in the English language, and the probability of transitions. The ten letters at the very centre (i, t, a, l, n, e, d, o, r, s) account for 73% of keystrokes in English; adding the four letters at top and bottom of the middle columns (c, h, u, m) brings this number to 84%. The user nearly always finds the next likely letter on a key very close to the one previously tapped.
Currently supported platforms are Pocket PC / Windows Mobile, and Windows Tablet PC. There was a version for the Palm. An Android version is under consideration, but Barry Shaffer had a DIY Android port. That port is impractical for inserting text anywhere but after the last character of a document

# Robert Henry Elliot
**Robert Henry Elliot**, (1837--1914), was an early British coffee planter in Mysore, India. He was the author of books about plantation life in Mysore and about farming in Scotland. He came from Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.
## Plantations
According to Elliot\'s own account in *Gold, Sport, and Coffee Planting In Mysore*, he arrived in Bombay in 1855 at 18 years of age. From there he sailed to Mangalore, then headed inland through the ghauts to the high plateau of Mysore, where he joined Frederick Green, who had begun his plantation in 1843. The first European coffee plantation to its south had just started in 1854, while the second, some 70 mi to the north, was being established by three Scottish planters. In 1856 Elliot started his own plantation at Bartchinhulla, Sakleshpur, Mysore State.
## Mixed planting {#mixed_planting}
At his farm called Clifton Park in Kelso, Scotland, he formulated what he termed the \"Clifton Park System\". Several editions of his book on the subject, *Agricultural Changes* appeared between 1898 and 1943. (The last two editions of 1908 and 1943 being entitled *The Clifton Park System of Farming and laying down land to grass*.) In this book, which was written prior to the widespread availability and adoption of man-made fertilizer, he advocated building up the organic content of soil by planting a mixture of grasses and other plants, particularly deep-rooted plants such as chicory. Modern organic growers still find Elliot\'s work applicable today.

# Sally McNair
**Sally McNair** (born 1956) is a female television sports journalist in Scotland. She worked as a presenter and reporter at STV on the world\'s longest-running TV sports programme, \"Scotsport\" from 1982.
## Career
In 1982, McNair joined *Scotsport* and became the first female sports presenter in television in Scotland.
In 1990 she began presenting an afternoon show on BBC Radio Scotland.
She has worked at BBC Scotland and presented the shorter and weekend \"Reporting Scotland\" bulletins for many years. Occasionally, she presented the main flagship programme when Sally Magnusson or Jackie Bird were away.
In over 30 years in TV journalism, Sally has also worked at ITN on Channel 4\'s original breakfast news programme, \"The Channel Four Daily\".
She presented the late news on the day of the official opening of BBC Scotland\'s new studios at Pacific Quay in Glasgow. The bulletin was being presented from an open-plan area of the building, and this resulted in most of the news being delivered over the noise of a party taking place in the building.
## *Escape to Glasgow* documentary {#escape_to_glasgow_documentary}
On 14 November 2010, BBC Scotland aired the documentary *Escape to Glasgow*, in which McNair meets some of Britain\'s first evacuees, and retraces their journeys. The programme was aired for a second time in December 2010
