# Empel
**Empel** is a village and former municipality, which is now a quarter of \'s-Hertogenbosch in the Dutch province of North Brabant.
## History
Archaeological evidence shows Celtic and Roman traces in the area. The site of a Roman temple was of special interest.
In medieval times there were two Lordships (heerlijkheid) in the area. The Lordship of Empel and the Lordship of Meerwijk, but as they were always in one hand, they became known as Lordship of Empel en Meerwijk. The center was in the village now called Oud-Empel. Empel en Meerwijk Castle, the seat of the Lord of Empel en Meerwijk, was in an area called \'Het Slot\', Dutch for \'The Castle\'. When Empel village was moved later on, it came to lie inside the new Empel village.
During the Eighty Years\' War the area suffered greatly, because it was on the frontline from 1579 till 1609, and then again from 1621 to 1629. Empel village was even abandoned for some decades, and the Castle was probably also ruined in these years. In 1585 the Battle of Empel was named for the village now called Oud-Empel.
In the eighteenth century the owner of the castle built a new manor Meerwijk Castle at Dieskant on the Dieze, hastening the decay of the medieval castle. During the French period the lordships were abolished, and the new municipality of Empel en Meerwijk was formed, with Empel village on the Meuse as seat of the municipal government.
In the closing phases of World War II Empel village on the Meuse dyke was heavily damaged. Its Catholic church was subsequently demolished. From about 1949 the village with church was rebuilt as an Angerdorf at the current location. This was southeast of the old village, which was then renamed Oud-Empel. A new townhouse was also built on the new location of Empel.
In 1971 the entire municipality of Empel en Meerwijk was absorbed by \'s-Hertogenbosch municipality. Empel then grew to a city quarter of 6,505 inhabitants. As a city quarter Empel includes the neighbourhoods: Maasakker, De Koornwaard, Empel-Oost and Empel-Zuid. Oud-Empel became part of Maaspoort.

## Points of interest {#points_of_interest}
Empel was the ancient site of a temple dedicated to *Hercules Magusanus*. It is one of only a few religious monuments from Germania Inferior that can be interpreted with a fair degree of certainty. Hercules Magusanus was the Latin name of the supreme god of the Batavians. Many votive gifts have been found near the temple. Amongst these, the many used weapons indicate that this temple was indeed dedicated to a non-Roman god. These archaeological traces are not available for public viewing.
The Castle Park *Kasteelpark Empel* is an outdoor activity park. It shows the outline of the motte, keep and outer-bailey of former Empel en Meerwijk Castle. The park has a playground for children, a basketball court, a panna cage, a skatepark and a pétanque court. The park protects the archaeological remains of the castle, as well as those of a medieval brick oven. The latter is covered by the Empel Folly.
The Saint Landelinus Church was inaugurated on 25 December 1949. It replaced the Neogothic Landelinus Church of Oud-Empel which had been destroyed in 1945. The current church is a brick Christocentric church designed by the Tilburg architect N.H. Pontzen (1913-1979). The Stations of the Cross have been painted on the concrete pillars by Egbert Deckers. A cross was made by Albert Termote. Frans van der Burgt made a sculpture of Anthony the Great. A triptych by Léon Wiegman depicts the Miracle of Empel.
The recently dug Máxima Canal (2014) is just east of Empel. It is sided by bicycle lanes that essentially go nowhere, and are therefore very popular with sport enthusiasts.
## Battle of Empel {#battle_of_empel}
The Battle of Empel or, to the Spanish, Miracle of Empel (Milagro de Empel in Spanish) was a battle fought on December 7 and December 8, 1585, as part of the Eighty Years\' War, in which a Spanish army miraculously escaped destruction after discovering a hidden Dutch Catholic image of the Immaculate Conception.
The Spanish army was in a desperate situation, under siege by the Dutch Protestant navy and surrounded by the rivers. The story says that in the night following the discovery of the image, the rivers froze and the Spanish army ran over the frozen rivers escaping from the siege, destroying or capturing all the ships in the Dutch fleet stuck in the ice, and overrunning the Dutch army camp. In Spain, the battle is still remembered as it is believed that the Spanish army was saved due to intervention of Mary of the Immaculate Conception. In memory of the battle, the Immaculate Conception is the patroness of the Spanish infantry.
## Flags
Empel does not have an official flag. Although there have been previous designs made by citizens, none of them have been classed as official flags. What Empel does have is an official Coat of Arms

# Empel en Meerwijk
**Empel en Meerwijk** is a former municipality of the Dutch province of North Brabant.
## Geography
The municipality Empel en Meerwijk consisted of Dieskant, Empel, Oud-Empel, Gewande, and Meerwijk. It was situated south of the river Meuse and east of the river Dieze. For almost its entire existence, Empel referred to what is not called Oud-Empel, see the 1868 map. Since 1971 the former municipality is part of the municipality of \'s-Hertogenbosch.
## History
The villages of Empel en Meerwijk were a fiefdom originally belonging to Crespin Abbey in northern France. The seat of the lords of Empel en Meerwijk was at the now demolished Empel en Meerwijk Castle.
During the Eighty Years\' War, a fort called Fort Crèvecoeur was built on the western extremity of the lordship\'s territory. The terrain is still used for military exercises by the engineers of the Dutch Army.
In the second half of the nineteenth century Meerwijk Castle was built. This manor was built by the official lords of Empel en Meerwijk. These did not wield any feudal rights, but were so rich that they were indeed recognized as such. Meerwijk Castle would later become famous as an upper class brothel

# West Indian cricket team in England in 1976
The West Indian cricket team toured England in 1976, spending virtually the whole of the 1976 English cricket season in England. West Indies also played one match in Ireland in July.
Having drawn the 1973-74 series in the West Indies, England started the series in confident mood, with their captain Tony Greig proclaiming before TV cameras that England would make West Indies \"grovel\".
Greig was never allowed to forget that comment, although in a subsequent interview many years later he recounted that his comment was born out of frustration with the journalist interviewing him at Hove in early season 1976. Greig felt that the interviewer was concentrating too much on the West Indies fast bowling attack and not discussing England\'s strengths. Even in an interview with Sky Sports \"Saturday Story\" only around a year before Greig died, he was prepared to apologise on camera for his remark - even some 35 years after he had originally made it.
The international matches were dominated by the West Indies, captained by Clive Lloyd. England struggled against the batting of Gordon Greenidge and Viv Richards and the pace bowling of Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Vanburn Holder and Wayne Daniel. Richards smashed 829 runs in four Tests, but missed the 2nd Test due to illness. Impressive individual performances for England included centuries for Tony Greig and Alan Knott in the 4th Test, a double century by Dennis Amiss in the 5th Test, and the bowling of John Snow, Bob Willis and Derek Underwood.
In the last test played at the Oval, Richards plundered 291 runs and his second double ton of the series, this remained his highest test score. During the innings he surpassed Garfield Sobers\' record of six test tons in a calendar year by scoring his seventh. He also scored 1710 runs in a calendar year which remained as a world record until 2006.
The highlights of the tour were five Test matches and three One Day Internationals against the English cricket team. After the first two Tests were drawn, giving England a false sense of hope, the West Indies easily won the remaining three Tests to take the five-match Test series 3--0, and retain the Wisden Trophy. West Indies also won all 3 of the ODIs.
West Indies also played numerous matches against the first-class counties and other minor teams.

## Form
### West Indies {#west_indies}
The West Indies arrived in England with a new approach to cricket, particularly bowling. During the 1975--1976 season, the West Indies team was thrashed 5--1 in Australia, unable to cope with the home side\'s fast arm bowlers like Jeff Thomson and Dennis Lillee. In response, captain Clive Lloyd completely transformed the West Indies team with a focus on fast bowling. The new West Indies style debuted that same winter in 1975 when the West Indies hosted India. The West Indies won the series 2--1. However, the victory was a result of India choosing to withdraw their final batsmen in response to what they described as barbaric, reckless, and dangerous West Indies\' bowling.
### England
The England cricket team had enjoyed a long spell of success in the early 1970s with consecutive victories in The Ashes and a strong record against other international opponents. However, defeats in 1975 to Australia in the Cricket World Cup and in The Ashes had exposed the team as possibly ageing and lacking top-class fast bowlers.

## Test series summary {#test_series_summary}
### First Test {#first_test}
After the traditional opening fixture against Lavinia, Duchess of Norfolk\'s XI, and warm-up matches against county sides, the 1st Test was played at Trent Bridge at the beginning of June.
England\'s Mike Brearley and West Indian Larry Gomes made their Test debuts. West Indies won the toss and batted through most of the first two days to score 494 all out. Viv Richards made the top score of 232, supported in a third wicket stand of 303 by Alvin Kallicharran, who made 97. However, having reached 408--2, the West Indies displayed some batting vulnerability, and the last 8 wickets fell for 86 runs, Derek Underwood taking 4-82.
England made a solid reply, scoring 332, including 106 for David Steele and 82 for Bob Woolmer, and Wayne Daniel taking 4-53. Richards hit a brisk 63 in the West Indies second innings of 176-5 declared. Facing a victory target of 339, England batted out the last day for a draw, with England opening batsman John Edrich undefeated on 76 at the close.
### Second Test {#second_test}
The 2nd Test was played at Lord\'s two weeks later. Richards was unfit, and was replaced by bowler Raphick Jumadeen; Michael Holding played in place of Daniel. England also made two changes, with Barry Wood for Edrich and Pat Pocock for Mike Hendrick.
England won the toss and batted, scoring 250, with Roberts taking 5-60. West Indies opening batsman Gordon Greenidge scored 84 and captain Clive Lloyd 50, but Underwood took 5-39 and John Snow 4-68, to bowl West Indies out in 50.4 overs for only 182 on the second day. The third day was washed out, but England batted through the fourth day and were finally bowled out for 254 at the start of the fifth day, with Roberts taking his second 5-wicket haul in the match (5-63). Needing 323 to win, West Indies reached 241-6 by the close, with 138 to Roy Fredericks, and the match was drawn.
### Third Test {#third_test}
After a gap of three weeks, the 3rd Test was played at Old Trafford in the second week of July. With the series still at 0--0 with three to play, West Indies won the toss and again chose to bat.
Three early wickets for debutant Mike Selvey and one for the returned Mike Hendrick saw the West Indies on the back foot at 26--4, but Greenidge (134) and debutant Collis King (32) recovered the position to a relatively respectable 211 all out. The West Indian first innings was put into perspective as Holding (5-17), Roberts (3-22), and Daniel (2-13) ripped through the England batting, dismissing them for 71 in 32.5 overs. Steele (20) was the only England batsman to reach double figures, and the only one to beat the extras.
West Indies dominated from the start of their second innings, with century stands for the first three wickets, between Fredericks (50) and Greenidge (101), Greenidge and Richards (135), Richards and Lloyd (43). West Indies declared on 411-5 near the end of the third day, leaving England to score 552 to win, or, more likely, to bat out two days to secure a draw. England survived for 63.5 overs. Rain interrupted play on the fourth day, but England were all out for 126 twenty balls into the last day. Edrich top scored on 24, but was unable to beat extras (25). West Indies won by 425 runs.
### Fourth Test {#fourth_test}
Now 1-0 down, England needed to win the 4th Test, which began at Headingley two weeks later, to recover the Wisden Trophy. England\'s Chris Balderstone and Peter Willey both made their Test debuts.
Batting first, Greenidge (115) and Fredericks (109) both hit quick centuries in an opening stand of 192. Richards (66) and Lawrence Rowe (50) both added half-centuries, and West Indies were bowled out for 450 early on the second day, Snow taking 4-77 and Bob Willis 3-71. England were soon in trouble at 80--4, but captain Tony Greig and wicket-keeper Alan Knott added 152 for the sixth wicket, each making 116 in a sixth-wicket stand of 152. England were bowled out for 387, only 63 behind. West Indies lost quick wickets, and Willis took 5--42 to wrap up the tail. West Indies were bowled out for 196 in 51.3 overs. Set a target of 260 to win, Roberts (3-41), Holding (3-44) and Daniel (3-60) bowled England out for 204 in 56 overs. Greig was unbeaten on 76, to add to his first-innings century, but West Indies won by 55 runs.
### Fifth Test {#fifth_test}
England had lost the series, but could recover some pride by winning the 5th Test played on a very dry pitch at the Oval in mid-August.
West Indies batted for most of the first two days to score a monumental 687--8. Richards reached 291, his second double century of the series. Nine of England\'s 11 players were given a bowl, save only the recalled Dennis Amiss and wicket-keeper Knott. The opening fast bowlers, Willis and Selvey, were quickly consigned to the outfield, bowling only 15 overs each; Underwood bowled 60.5 overs, with 27 from debutant spinner Geoff Miller and another 34 and 17 overs added by the occasional spin bowling of captain Greig and Chris Balderstone respectively. England replied with a creditable 435, including 203 for Amiss and 50 for Knott. Holding dominated the bowling, taking 8-92, all but one of them bowled or lbw. Despite taking a first-innings lead of 252, West Indies declined to enforce the follow-on. Instead, Greenidge (86\*) and Fredericks (85\*) scored quick runs, adding 182 in a 32-over unbroken opening partnership, and West Indies declared on 182 for no wicket late on the fourth day, leaving England a target of 435 for victory. Holding took 6-57, giving him a match total of 14--149, as England were bowled out for 203. Knott top scorer on 57, his second half-century of the match. West Indies won the match by 231 runs, and the Test series 3--0.

## One Day Internationals (ODIs) {#one_day_internationals_odis}
The West Indies won the Prudential Trophy 3--0.
### 1st ODI {#st_odi}
In the 1st ODI, West Indies won the toss and put England in to bat, with ODi debuts for England\'s Graham Barlow, Ian Botham, Graham Gooch, John Lever and David Steele, and West Indies\' Michael Holding and Collis King. Hostile bowling by Roberts (4-32) and Holding (2-38) restricted England to 202--8, Barlow top scoring on 80 not out. England were unable to stop Richards in the West Indian reply. He scored an unbeaten 119 off 133 balls to win the match with 14 overs to spare, and became man of the match.
### 2nd ODI {#nd_odi}
England put West Indies in at the 2nd ODI, reduced to 50 overs due to rain. Richards again scored heavily, with 97 off 96 balls, but West Indies were unable to bat out their overs, scoring 221 all out off 47.5 overs, with the spinners taking most of the wickets. Despite 88 from ODI debutant Derek Randall, the West Indian bowling, particularly Roberts (4-27), again dominated. Further weather interruptions pushed the match into the reserve day, when West Indies won by 36 runs. Richards was again man of the match.
### 3rd ODI {#rd_odi}
Play was impossible on 30 August, but the match began on the reserve day, limited this time to only 32 overs. England again put West Indies in to bat, and Fredericks and Richards were quickly out, Richards for a duck. However, runs from Greenidge (42), Lloyd (79) and Rowe (45) saw West Indies to 223 for 9. After a good start, with an opening partnership of 54 between Wood and Amiss, England were bowled out for 173 in 31.4 overs, with Vanburn Holder taking 5-50, and West Indies won by 50 runs. Lloyd was man of the match.

## Controversy
On 2 June 1976, the eve of the first test match of the series, England captain Tony Greig was interviewed on BBC's midweek sports program Sportsnight. The interview was conducted on the roof of Hove's Pavilion in Sussex. In the interview, Greig was forced to respond to questions concerning England's chances of winning the series against the young West Indies\' side. Greig described being unimpressed by the West Indian squad. He described the West Indies recent humiliating defeat in Australia and their tumultuous home series against India. Greig explained, \"I like to think that people are building these West Indians up, because I am not really sure they're as good as everyone thinks they are." He then notoriously claimed, "Sure, they've got a couple of fast bowlers, but... you must remember that (if) the West Indian get on top they are magnificent cricketers, but if they're down, they grovel. And I intend, with the help of Closey and a few others, to make them grovel." The insensitive comments only inflamed the racial and colonial implications surrounding the 1976 series. The remark was particularly provocative coming from Greig, the white South African-born captain of England.
West Indian bowler, Michael Holding recalled how the comment "Smacked of racism and Apartheid. He got our backs up and made us more determined." Greig claimed the word *grovel* was used only as a response to the way the interviewer had been discrediting the England team as major underdogs in the match-up. When asked about the remark prior to the first test, the West Indian captain Clive Lloyd gave Greig the benefit of the doubt surrounding the use of the word *grovel*. Lloyd however declared being furious about how Greig had patronizingly characterized the West Indies team as unprofessional and nonchalant Calypso cricketers.
During the final match at The Oval as defeat became imminent for the English side, Greig kneeled down on to the pitch smiling and performed a 'grovel' crawl on the ground. The act of contrition was received with applause from a large portion of the West Indians fans present that had been previously taunting the England captain. The West Indies batsman Viv Richards remarked "In other words, he was going to have us down on our knees, begging for mercy! This was the greatest motivating speech the England captain could have given to any West Indian team."

## Legacy
The West Indies victory in the 1976 series was the first of seven consecutive wins over England. The 1976 series also helped salvage the then financially struggling Test and County Cricket Board (TCCB). The series generated £950,000 for the TCCB, forty percent more than The Ashes of 1975 had produced in revenue. For the next two decades, the West Indies cricket would dominate international cricket, after 1979 not losing a series for fifteen years. The 1976 series has been characterized as a turning point for the West Indies cricket team. The series revealed to the cricketing world a new generation of West Indian cricket superstars like Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, and Michael Holding. The victory exposed the West Indies team as a group of world-class cricketers who had developed into a major threat in international cricket.
### Book
The 1976 series has been memorialized by David Tossel\'s "Grovel: The story and legacy of the summer of 1976." Published in 2007, the book provides an in depth depiction of the series and its significance to West Indies\' cricket and to the sport of cricket in general. The book also features a collection of action photos of the match proceedings.
### Film
The 1976 test series between the West Indies and England also features in Stevan Riley's 2010 British documentary Fire in Babylon. A whole chapter of the film is devoted to the 1976 series. The documentary highlights the significance of the summer of 1976 in England, and its impact on West Indies cricket and the West Indian community in England in the 1970s

## History
The village was first mentioned between 1200 and 1225 as Escre, and means \"sandy ridge\". The Escharen Hoard was discovered in the area in 1897, including two of the known specimens of Audulf\'s tremisses. The coins are believed to date to around the year 600, at the end of the Migration Period.
The St Lambert\'s Church was built between 1863 and 1865 as a replacement of an earlier church. It was extended in 1930. The town hall was built in 1876 in neoclassic style. The stepped gable was added around 1900.
Escharen was home to 244 people in 1840. Escharen was a separate municipality until 1942, when its territory was divided between Grave and Mill en Sint Hubert. In 2022, it became part of Land van Cuijk.

# Ulyanovskaya Mine disaster
The **Ulyanovskaya Mine disaster** was caused by a methane explosion that occurred on March 19, 2007 in the Ulyanovskaya longwall coal mine in the Kemerovo Oblast. At least 108 people were reported to have been killed by the blast, which occurred at a depth of about 270 meters (885 feet) at 10:19 local time (3:19 GMT). The mine disaster was Russia\'s deadliest in more than a decade.
## Background
The operator of the mine is Yuzhkuzbassugol (\"South Kuzbass Coal\"), a half-owned associate of the Evraz Group conglomerate, which is Russia\'s largest producer of deep-mined coal. The mine, which opened in 2002, is one of the newest pits in the Kuzbass coal-mining region of Siberia, with modern equipment made in the UK and Germany.
It has been producing at an annual rate of about 1.5 million tonnes of coking coal concentrate.
## Accident
Kemerovo Oblast governor Aman Tuleyev said that when the blast occurred, \"the mine was preparing to launch \"Eighteen,\" an advanced mining safety system developed in the UK. The system signaled a sudden discharge of a large amount of methane and caving at 14:30 local time.\"
According to the Russian Prosecutor General\'s office, \"the explosion occurred when equipment was being tested\". The explosive agent is thought to have been either methane or coal dust. The main theory for the cause of the explosion is that it resulted from \"a breach of mining safety\". However, the mine operator has denied any connection between the explosion and the new equipment.
## Casualties
Among the dead was a British mining consultant, Ian Robertson, who worked for the Anglo-German company International Mining Consultancy. According to Russian sources, the company was involved in auditing the mine\'s coal reserves. He was accompanied by most of the mine\'s senior management, who had gone underground shortly before the explosion; the entire party was caught in the blast.
The audit was reportedly being conducted in conjunction with the mine operator\'s planned initial public offering of stock shares to obtain cash for a \$700 million investment programme.
## Investigation
In the aftermath of the accident it was revealed that the mine had suffered \"problems with equipment safety rules\". It was also announced that 60 coal mines in the surrounding area were to be inspected for similar violations soon after the disaster, and that the entirety of the nation\'s mines would be inspected during the coming weeks.
Preliminary findings from the Ulyanovskaya investigation found that safety equipment had been tampered with deliberately to decrease the readings of methane levels in the mine. According to Governor Tulayev, this was done \"consciously in order to increase coal production\". Five mine inspectors were subsequently dismissed for allowing the mine operator to \"breach safety rules in order to make a profit.\" The blast was said to have been caused by sparks from an exposed cable igniting methane gas, which then ignited coal dust

# Soapstar Superchef
***Soapstar Superchef*** was a cooking show on the ITV Network, where soap stars from *Coronation Street*, *EastEnders*, *Emmerdale*, *Hollyoaks* (and *Hollyoaks: In the City*) and *Neighbours* competed to be crowned \"kings\" or \"queens\" of the kitchen.
Their culinary efforts were judged by an expert panel of three judges. Each judge gave a mark out of ten, and the teams were able to gain extra points by answering questions about a short clip from their rivals\' soap.
Each team cooked twice and their points from both episodes were added together, then the two teams with the highest totals competed head-to-head to win the show.
The show was hosted by Richard Arnold, known as GMTV\'s TV critic, and Nicki Chapman, an English television presenter who also worked in the British pop music industry.

# Potamididae
***Potamididae***, common name **potamidids** (also known as **horn snails** or **mudwhelks**) are a family of small to large brackish water snails that live on mud flats, mangroves and similar habitats. They are amphibious gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Cerithioidea.
Traditionally, potamidids and batillariids have been confused because they have similar shells and they live in similar environments. For many fossil taxa the family assignment to either of these two families is still unresolved or controversial.
According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Potamididae has no subfamilies.

# Codex Vigilanus
The ***Codex Vigilanus*** or ***Codex Albeldensis*** (Spanish: *Códice Vigilano* or *Albeldense*) is an illuminated compilation of various historical documents accounting for a period extending from antiquity to the 10th century in Hispania. Among the many texts brought together by the compilers are the canons of the Visigothic Councils of Toledo, the *Liber Iudiciorum*, the decrees of some early popes and other patristic writings, historical narratives (such as the ***Crónica Albeldense*** and the *Life of Mohammed*), various other pieces of civil and canon law, and a calendar. It is now in the library of El Escorial monastery, with the shelfmark D.I.2.
The compilers were three monks of the Riojan monastery of San Martín de Albelda: Vigila, after whom it was named and who was the illustrator; Serracino, his friend; and García, his disciple. The first compilation was finished in 881, but was updated up to 976. The original manuscript is preserved in the library of El Escorial (as Escorialensis d I 2). At the time of its compilation, Albelda was the cultural and intellectual centre of the Kingdom of Pamplona. The manuscripts celebrate with illustrations not only the ancient Gothic kings who had reformed the law --- Chindasuinth, Reccesuinth, and Ergica --- but also its contemporary dedicatees, the rulers of Navarre: Sancho II of Pamplona and his queen, Urraca, and his brother Ramiro Garcés, King of Viguera.
The codex contains, among other pieces of useful information, among the earliest mention and representation of Arabic numerals in the West. They were introduced by the Arabs into Spain around the early 8th century.
The illuminations are stylistically unique, combining Visigothic, Mozarabic, and Carolingian elements. The interlace patterns and the drapery show Carolingian, as well Italo-Byzantine, influence. The use of animals as decoration and for supporting columns also parallels contemporary Frankish usage. More Carolingian and less Byzantine influence is evident in the *Codex Aemilianensis*, a copy of the *Vigilanus* made at San Millán de la Cogolla in 992 by a different illustrator

# MG 81 machine gun
The **MG 81** is a German belt fed 7.92×57mm Mauser machine gun which was used in flexible installations in World War II Luftwaffe aircraft, in which capacity it replaced the older drum magazine-fed MG 15.
The MG 81 was developed by Mauser as a derivative of their successful MG 34 general-purpose machine gun. Development focus was to reduce production cost and time and to optimize the machine gun for use in aircraft. Developed in 1938/1939, it was in production from 1940 to 1945.
## Variants
A special twin-mount MG 81Z (the **Z** suffix stands for *Zwilling*, meaning \"twin\") was introduced in 1942. It paired up two of the weapons on one mount to provide even more firepower with a maximum cyclic rate of fire of 3,200 rounds per minute without requiring much more space than a standard machine gun. Towards the end of the war many specimens were delivered to the army and equipped for use in ground battles with shoulder rest and bipod.
After West Germany\'s entry into NATO in May 1955, Mauser offered the MG 81 chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO. The twin-barrel MG 81Z was marketed for helicopter fixed mount with theoretical firepower of 6,800--7,000 rounds per minute for a MG 81Z mounted on each side of the helicopter. The MG 81 was also marketed for infantry use with bipod, wood buttstock, and reduced fire rate of 1,200 rounds per minute.
## Applications
The MG 81Z was found in many unique installations in Luftwaffe combat aircraft, such as a pair of MG 81Z (for a total of four guns) installed in the hollow tail cone of the Dornier Do 217 K-2. Designated R19 (R for Rüstsatz) as a factory designed field conversion/upgrade kit, it allowed the pilot of the Do 217 to shoot at pursuers.
Another application was the *Gießkanne* (Watering can), an externally mounted pod with three gun pairs, making a total of six guns and their ammunition. Able to fire at a cyclic rate of 9,000 rounds per minute, this was attached to Junkers Ju 87 or Ju 88 in an underwing mount and used to strafe ground targets.

# Age of Consent (album)
***Age of Consent*** is the fourth full-length album by the American heavy metal band Virgin Steele. The album took eight months to complete, a change from *Noble Savage* which was recorded in only a few weeks, and was finally released in October 1988. It received scarce promotion and distribution by their small label, resulting in very low sales. The songs of this album follow in style and content the music of the previous album *Noble Savage*, adding a more polished sound and production. At the time of release, the band faced legal and financial setbacks that brought to the unofficial disbandment of Virgin Steele. Joe O\'Reilly, although credited for playing bass on the album, was ill at the time of recording and was ghosted by DeFeis and Pursino.
The album was reissued on CD in 1997 by Noise Records, with a new song listing, a new cover and many bonus tracks. In November 2011 *Age of Consent* was once again reissued by Steamhammer Records, a subsidiary of SPV, with the same track list as the 1997 release, but with an added bonus CD (named *Under the Graveyard Moon*) containing 7 additional tracks.

# Serge Lajeunesse
**Serge Lajeunesse** (born June 11, 1950) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey defenceman who played 103 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Detroit Red Wings and Philadelphia Flyers between 1970 and 1974.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
### Juniors
Lajeunesse was born in Montreal, Quebec. He started playing hockey in his hometown of Montreal with the Montreal Junior Canadiens of the Ontario Hockey Association. He scored 22 points in combination with 172 penalty minutes in his first season with the team and helped them win the Memorial Cup. The following season in 1969--70, Lajeunesse scored 29 points and saw his penalty minutes decrease almost by half to 87 on the season and again helped the team win their second consecutive Memorial Cup. The Detroit Red Wings drafted him with their first pick, 12th overall, in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft.
### Professional
Lajeunesse started off in Detroit\'s farm team, the Fort Worth Wings of the Central Hockey League. He only played in 12 games before being brought up to the Red Wings on November 12, 1970 against the St. Louis Blues. In the remaining 62 games of the 1970--71 NHL season, Lajeunesse recorded 55 penalty minutes, recorded four assists, and scored his only NHL goal. After the Wings failed to reach the playoffs again that year, Lajeunesse was re-assessed and sent back down to the minors.
The following season saw Lajeunesse move back and forth in the Wings\' organization. He spent time with the Tidewater Wings of the American Hockey League and Fort Worth, while suiting up for seven games in Detroit. He contributed 20 penalty minutes in those seven games without scoring a point and finished the 1971--72 season back in Fort Worth where he helped with a short playoff run. He continued playing in the minor leagues with Tidewater (now renamed the Virginia Wings) in 1972--73 before being called back to Detroit to fill in for injuries. Lajeunesse played in 28 NHL games that year and ended with 1 assist to go with 26 penalty minutes.
Lajeunesse was traded on May 15, 1973 to the Philadelphia Flyers for Rick Foley. He started off in the Flyers\' farm system and would retire there. Lajeunesse played six more NHL games with Philadelphia in the following two seasons. He helped his AHL team the Richmond Robins reach the playoffs in three consecutive seasons (1973--74, 1974--75, 1975--76), but failed to help them get past the second round. Lajeunesse retired from hockey in 1976

He also commanded a cruiser during the Korean War. He served as First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff in the mid-1960s and in that role resigned from the Royal Navy along with Navy Minister Christopher Mayhew in March 1966 in protest over the decision by the Labour Secretary of State for Defence, Denis Healey, to cancel the CVA-01 aircraft carrier programme.

Luce served in the Second World War, initially in command of the Rainbow and then, from June 1940, in command of the submarine `{{HMS|Cachalot|N83|6}}`{=mediawiki}. The hazardous patrols he undertook in these submarines led to him being awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) on 12 November 1940. Promoted to commander on 31 December 1940, he was posted to the Plans Division of the Admiralty in March 1941 and then became Naval Raid planner on the staff of the Naval Adviser at Combined Operations Headquarters. He took part in the Dieppe Raid in August 1942 for which he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire on 2 October 1942 and was appointed Chief Staff Officer to the Naval Forces for the Normandy landings in June 1944 as a result of which he won a Bar to his DSO on 14 November 1944. He went on to be Executive Officer of the cruiser `{{HMS|Swiftsure|08|6}}`{=mediawiki} in the British Pacific Fleet in August 1944 and was promoted to captain on 30 June 1945.
After the war, Luce became Chief of Staff (Operations) to the Commander-in-Chief, British Pacific Fleet. He went on to be Commanding officer of Royal Naval Air Station Ford in September 1946 and became deputy director of Plans at the Admiralty in December 1948. After that he became Commanding Officer of the cruiser `{{HMS|Liverpool|C11|6}}`{=mediawiki} in 1951 and then commanded the cruiser `{{HMS|Birmingham|C19|6}}`{=mediawiki} in 1952 in coastal bombardment operations during the Korean War for which he was mentioned in despatches on 19 May 1953.
Luce became Director of the Royal Naval Staff College in March 1953 and was appointed Naval Aide-de-Camp to the Queen on 7 July 1954 before moving on to be Naval Secretary in August 1954. Promoted to rear admiral on 7 January 1955, he became Flag Officer, Flotillas for the Home Fleet in August 1956 and, having been appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath in the 1957 New Year Honours and promoted to vice admiral on 31 January 1958, he became Flag Officer, Scotland and Northern Ireland in July 1958. Advanced to Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in the 1960 New Year Honours, he became Commander-in-chief, Far East Fleet in April 1960 and, having received promotion to full admiral on 22 August 1960, he became Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in the Far East and UK Military Adviser to the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization in November 1962. He was advanced to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath in the 1963 Birthday Honours.
Luce became First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff in August 1963. He resigned from the Royal Navy along with Navy Minister Christopher Mayhew on 15 March 1966 in protest over the decision by the Labour Secretary of State for Defence, Denis Healey, to cancel the CVA-01 aircraft carrier programme.

In retirement, Luce became President of the Royal Naval Association. He was appointed an Officer of the Venerable Order of Saint John on 3 January 1969. He died, less than five years after his resignation from the Navy, at Lansdown Nursing Home in Bath, Somerset on 6 January 1971.

## Early life {#early_life}
Lee was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He attended Yale University where he became friends with the Pulitzer prize winning poet and novelist Robert Penn Warren. Lee dedicated his first novel to Warren.
After graduating from Yale in 1973, Lee lived in New York City for several years where he worked as a taxi driver, a language teacher and a security guard. In New York, he became friends with artists Frank Moore and Lillian Mulero. His poetry and nonfiction appeared in *The Atlantic Monthly*, *The Times Literary Supplement* and a variety of literary journals.
Lee has always done elaborate research for his literary work. When writing a long poem about Henry Hudson, he walked alone down the eastern shore of Hudson Bay. His poem,*Hudson Bay, 1611*, was published in The Sewanee Review.
## Journalism
In the early 1980s, Lee traveled to East Africa where he worked as a foreign correspondent for Reuters and *The Daily Telegraph*. During the civil war that followed the fall of dictator Idi Amin, he was one of the few western journalists living in Uganda. Reporting on the poaching of elephants on the northern Ugandan border, Lee was almost killed by Sudanese soldiers.
After being expelled from Uganda for writing about military atrocities, Lee returned to the United States. He found that he could no longer write poetry and began writing plays and novels.
In 2000, Lee traveled to East Timor and wrote articles about the civil war for the Atlantic Monthly and the Los Angeles Times.
## Plays
His first play, *California Dog Fight*, was set at an illegal dog fight the Sacramento delta. It premiered at the Manhattan Theatre Club (1985) and went on to an award-winning production at the Bush Theatre in London.

## Books
Mark Lee\'s first novel, *The Lost Tribe*, was published in 1998 by Picador USA. The book describes an epic journey of Africans and Americans looking for the contemporary descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel. In a review of *The Lost Tribe* published in the Washington Post Book World, the critic wrote: *\"Without overwriting, Lee can convey the sprinting pace of a brush fire, the horror of an elephant slaughter, the hair-trigger tenseness of a military checkpoint.\"*
Lee\'s second novel, *The Canal House*, was published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill in 2003. The critically praised novel is set in Africa, London and East Timor. It describes the dangerous world of war correspondents and aid workers. In the Denver Post, the reviewer of *The Canal House* wrote:*\"A story presented in prose so fine it nearly sings, peopled with characters who burn themselves into your mind and heart.\"*
His work appears in *Politically Inspired* a collection of essays and short stories about the Iraq war published by MacAdam/Cage. In Publishers Weekly, the reviewer wrote:*Lee\'s*Memo to Our Journalists*is a short, punchy list of editorial precautions to reporters in Iraq. It includes such pithy advice as: \"If you and your embedded unit are lost in the countryside and searching for the main road, remember that every adult male in the world lies about most things much of the time. Look for a smart, honest nine-year-old.\"*
## Children\'s books {#childrens_books}
In June 2013, Candlewick Press published Mark Lee\'s first children\'s book: *Twenty Big Trucks in the Middle of the Street.* The book was illustrated by Kurt Cyrus. The Wall Street Journal reviewer wrote: "As mystifying as it may be to their mothers and sisters, small boys tend to be entranced by powerful vehicles. The very fact of trucks---let alone their variety and different purposes---gives a thrill to certain 3- to 6-year-olds. For these children, Mark Lee\'s *Twenty Big Trucks in the Middle of the Street* will be handsome entertainment.\"
*Twenty Big Trucks in the Middle of the Street* was picked by Amazon.com as one of the Best Children\'s Books of 2013 for Ages 3--5.

# Damien Saez
**Damien Saez** (`{{IPA|fr|damjɛ̃ sɛz}}`{=mediawiki}; born 1 August 1977) or just **Saez**, is a French singer-songwriter and musician.
## Biography
### Early life {#early_life}
Damien Saez was born in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, Savoie, on 1 August 1977, where he lived until the age of three or four years before his family moved to Marseille. Saez spent most of his childhood in Marseille until he moved to Dijon when he was about eight years old, where he was raised by his Algerian mother, after she divorced her Andalusian husband. Later, she met a director of documentaries who worked for the French channel \'France 3\' and gave birth to Damien\'s two younger brothers.
At the age of eight, Saez started taking piano lessons with Boris Nedeltchev at the *Conservatoire National de Région de Dijon* and graduated nine years later. He then took an interest in playing the guitar. His career as a singer began in 1995 when he let his interest in writing come out. He stopped playing in bands that sang covers of more famous bands like Pink Floyd. He wanted to work on his own songs that he had written and try to attract a new audience.
### *Jours Etranges*, *God Blesse*, *Debbie* (1999--2005) {#jours_etranges_god_blesse_debbie_19992005}
In 1999, a record company became interested in his compositions, and he signed a record contract with Island and began to record his first album *Jours étranges* (\"Strange Days\", a tribute to the album of the same name by The Doors) which went double platinum. His first single *Jeune et con* was broadcast on many radio stations and reached the general public, which earned him a nomination for the *Newcomer of the Year* award at the *Victoires de la Musique* in 2001.
In December 2001 his first poetry collection was published entitled *À ton nom*. In March 2002, he released his second album *God Blesse/Katagena*. In the meantime he released a piece of instrumental work called *Katagena*. It was available online via non-official web-sites and downloadable free of charge.
Brian De Palma contacted him and asked him to contribute to the original soundtrack of the movie *Femme Fatale* that was released in April 2003. The song that was chosen, *Sexe*, caused a lot of commotion due to its vulgar lyrics. Many radio stations refused to broadcast it, and the music video was banned from television.
On 22 April 2002, the day after the first round of presidential elections, he wrote the song *Fils de France* online, which was meant to be against French right-wing politician Jean-Marie Le Pen who qualified for the second ballot. The song was written and recorded in about 10 hours, then made available for free on the website of Universal Music.
His third album, *Debbie*, was released in 2004 with a more rock style than his previous albums.
### Post-Universal period {#post_universal_period}
In 2005 Saez quit Universal Music and went on the *Damien Saez: Piano and Voice Tour*. His musical style underwent a profound transformation from alternative rock to acoustic ballads, as his singing was accompanied only by three guitars and a piano.
At the end of 2006 and the beginning of 2007, Saez released four new songs in English (*Killing the Lambs, Numb, Jessie and Yellow Tricycle*) for free on his MySpace page. He performed all of them, except for *Jessie*, at five acoustic concerts in Paris and Lyon, in June and July 2007, respectively.
### *Varsovie*, *Alhambra*, *Paris* (2008) {#varsovie_alhambra_paris_2008}
On 8 December 2007, Saez released *Jeunesse, leve-toi*, a song that was written in March during the presidential elections. The song became the first track and also the first single from his next album, *Varsovie, Alhambra, Paris*. Edited by the independent quality-label Cinq7, it was released on 21 April 2008 as a triple album (*Paris* was also sold separately), consisting of 29 acoustic songs. The album mainly deals with Saez\'s breakup with his Polish girlfriend, Katarzyna. The first two discs, *Warsaw* and *Alhambra*, bear a similar sound and were meant to pay homage to Jacques Brel, Léo Ferré, Barbara, Georges Brassens and other classic French songwriters. The third disc, Paris, has a richer and more diverse sound and, despite little advertising, was certified gold.
In June and July 2008, accompanied for the first time by a string trio (violin, viola and violoncello), Saez launched, as part of various festivals, a new acoustic tour which was very short-lived: emotionally exhausted by the intimate nature of his songs, Saez decided to cancel his big summer tour and dedicated himself to writing new material.
### Yellow Tricycle - *A Lover\'s Prayer* (2009) {#yellow_tricycle___a_lovers_prayer_2009}
On 23 January 2009 Saez launched a new website, dedicated entirely to his new project, consisting of songs written entirely in English. The songs available for free download were \"Killing the Lambs\", \"Numb\" and \"Yellow Tricycle\", which had been released on his MySpace page two years earlier, with the addition of a new song called \"White Noise\". Their dark rock sound was very different from his previous acoustic album, and marked Saez\'s return to rock music.
In February 2009 Saez was nominated in the category \"Pop-rock Album of the Year\" at *Victoires de la Musique*, where he performed an unpublished song called \"Embrassons-nous\", which he performed without any rehearsals.
His fifth album, *A Lovers Prayer*, was released on 16 March 2009 under the pseudonym **Yellow Tricycle**. The 12 tracks on the album were written entirely in English and Saez\'s name did not appear anywhere on the cover. It received little advertising and was not backed up by a live tour.

In this video Saez announces a long one-year journey, from 31 July 2016 to 31 July 2017, during which songs, photos and texts recounting the journey will be published from city to city over the days, in the image of a notebook combining music, poetry and all forms of art. He describes this art as \"Nouvel Art\".[1](http://www.letelegramme.fr/musique/musique-saez-de-retour-avec-le-manifeste-17-06-2016-11112434.php#closePopUp) He presents Mélancolie in this short film: a sad clown, a mime dressed in black \"populating the earth with flowers\".

# Stetinden (Narvik)
or `{{native name|smj|'''Stáddá'''}}`{=mediawiki} is a mountain in Narvik Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located about 15 km northeast of the village of Kjøpsvik. The mountain has very smooth sides reaching all the way to the fjord. Stetinden has an obelisk-shape which gives it a very distinct look. In 2002 it was voted to be the \"National Mountain\" of Norway by listeners of NRK.
The coat of arms of Narvik Municipality is based on the silhouette of this mountain.
## Climbing
The mountain had several attempts at first ascents. First was the German Paul Güssfeldt and the Norwegian Martin Ekroll in the summer of 1888. The Dane Carl Hall and the Norwegian mountain guide Mathias Soggemoen attempted in 1889.
Neither group succeeded, but Carl Hall built a cairn on the lower summit about 500 m southeast of the main summit. That cairn is now called *Halls fortopp* (elevation 1304 m). In 1904, William Cecil Slingsby also failed to reach the summit.
It was not until 30 July 1910 that Ferdinand Schjelderup, Carl Wilhelm Rubenson, and Alf Bonnevie Bryn finally reached the summit of Stetind. The weather conditions were good. It was Rubenson\'s 25th birthday, and he was given the honor of being first in the rope. The hardest part was to pass the smooth crag \"Mysosten\", which Rubenson finger traversed along a tiny crack. After this passage there was an easy climb to the summit. The same three climbers continued their 1910 tour by making first ascents of the Lofoten summits Svolværgeita and Trakta. Arne Næss, Ralph Høibakk, and K. Friis Baasted did the first winter climb of Stetind in 1963 on the eastern wall. In 1966, Arne Næss and four others were the first ones to summit via the west wall.
## Name
The shape of the mountain has been compared with a *ste* which means \"anvil\" and the last element is the finite form of *tind* which means \"mountain peak\". Slingsby characterized Stetind as the ugliest mountain he ever saw.
## Tourism
Stetind is not a particularly popular tourist destination, despite being Norway\'s national mountain. It got a boom in tourism activity after the award, but the number of visitors returned to normal levels after a few years

# Dimitar Spisarevski
**Dimitar Spisarevski** (*Димитър Списаревски*) (19 July 1916 -- 20 December 1943) was a Bulgarian fighter pilot known for taking down an American bomber by ramming it during the bombing of Sofia in World War II.
Born in Dobrich on 19 July 1916, Spisarevski moved with his family after the post-World War I Treaty of Neuilly ceded the city to Romania, consecutively living in Lom, Belogradchik and Sofia.
Spisarevski entered His Majesty\'s Military School, but was subsequently expelled and went to serve in Yambol. Due to his excellent conduct, he was called back as a cadet to the school. When a pilot contest was announced, he was among the first candidates for the new subject. Later, he went on to study in Nazi Germany, where he graduated from the fighter pilot school in Werneuchen in 1938. In the summer of 1943, he was sent to the English Channel with another Bulgarian pilot to observe the German pilots and master aerial warfare tactics.
On 20 December 1943, a group of 200 American B-24 Liberator bombers and fighter planes headed to Sofia in order to bomb the Bulgarian capital once again. 36 Bulgarian airplanes took off in order to intercept the bombers before they reached Sofia. Spisarevski was one of the Bulgarian Air Force\'s Messerschmitt Ме-109G-2 pilots on duty in Bozhurishte who were sent to intercept the bombers before they could reach the city.
According to the battle log of the 3/6 fighter wing, of which Spisarevski was part, the battle went the following way: the American B-24 aircraft flew towards Sofia in V-shaped formations of three, echeloned in a long rear column. The Bulgarians formed an opposing battle row, echeloned in squadrons of four in a rear column, at 6,000 m. The wing had the task to engage the enemy P-38 Lightning fighters while at the same time the other wing, 2/6, would hit the bombers and force them to release their bombs outside the city.
Flying Officer Spisarevski\'s aircraft failed to start and he took off in a reserve plane with some delay in what would be his first and only aerial battle. When he reached the bombers, the battle had already begun. Spisarevski evaded two American fighters, headed to a group of 16 Liberators and, without ceasing fire, crashed into the leading bomber. The bomber split in mid-air and only the tail gunner survived. Spisarevski\'s machine crashed at the heights near the village of Pasarel close to Sofia. His body was found among the debris. The hit American bomber crashed on the other side of the village. For the taking down of a four-engine bomber, he was credited posthumously with three aerial victories and promoted to the rank of captain. Spisarevski was buried in the Central Sofia Cemetery, in the Walk of Pilots

## History
### Atlantic Coast Line depot {#atlantic_coast_line_depot}
Opened in 1956, the Atlantic Coast Line (ACL) depot reflects mid-century modern design popular at the time of construction. It is characterized by clean lines and minimal ornamentation. Typical features of the mid-century modern aesthetic found in the Charleston depot include a flat roof, large groupings of windows with horizontal lights, and shallow cantilevered canopies at the first and second floors. Red brick and dyed-green concrete panels arranged in alternating horizontal bands emphasize the building\'s rectilinear lines. Public spaces feature exposed brick on the lower walls and floors of durable green terrazzo; both materials can stand the wear and tear of large crowds and are easy to maintain.
Passenger service was located on the first floor. As the station was built during the height of segregation, it was built with two separate waiting areas, each with their own sets of restrooms. In the days of segregation, whites used one waiting area and blacks used the other. The second floor housed the ACL freight office for the Charleston division; the office closed when became part of CSX Transportation\'s Florence division. In 1967, ACL merged with Seaboard Air Line Railroad to become Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (SCL). In 1971, passenger operations was transferred to Amtrak, while the station remained owned by SCL (later CSX Transportation). In 1972, the city of North Charleston was incorporated. In the 1980s, fencing topped with barbed wire surrounded the station after a rash of burglaries.
On December 13, 2018, all passenger rail service was relocated to the North Charleston Intermodal Transportation Center and the former Atlantic Coast Line/Amtrak station was officially closed.
Because the station was eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the City of North Charleston and CARTA made an agreement with the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) that they will provide measured drawings and professional photography of the interior and exterior, to be submitted to SHPO and Clemson University as the repositories. An erection of a state historic marker. And salvage one of the exterior green tiles (before or during demolition) and include it and other photographs and information related to the station in the North Charleston Intermodal Transportation Center museum space.
Razing of the Atlantic Coast Line depot was scheduled for 2019.

## History
### Current station {#current_station}
Project for the current station began in 1996 with a feasibility study and site selection led by CARTA. The site chosen was a 36 acre tract located on West Montague Avenue, wedged between Dorchester Road and Interstate 526. From 1997 to 2007 the project went through a series of refinements, land purchasing and required NEPA assessments. With a 2007 groundbreaking, construction began with infrastructure and a park and ride lot.
In 2009, Davis & Floyd, Inc. joined the project, providing the architectural design and engineering for the building. The final design was a 32,000 sqft two-story double-towered edifice, evoking the architecture style of the Charleston Union Station that existed from 1907 to 1947. The facility was to included leasable space, restaurant/retail space, CARTA administration offices, additional meeting space and operations for Amtrak, CARTA and Southeastern Stages. In 2010, the project qualified for the State of Good Repair Program, providing Federal dollars from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
In 2012, because of the close proximity to the CSX Bennett Yard, the company rejected a platform permit without sidetrack. Additional costs related to constructing a sidetrack, so the station would not impede freight rail traffic, made the site no longer cost feasible thus stopping the project.
In 2014, CARTA began the process of relocating the project to Gaynor Avenue, adjacent to the existing Amtrak station. new NEPA and NHPA assessments were started as well zoning, permits, redesign and disposal of the Montague Avenue site. Bus tests were conducted on July 29, 2014, to confirm vertical clearance under Sevenmile Viaduct.
In 2015, project management and ownership was transferred from CARTA to the city of North Charleston. To keep costs within the \$14.5 million budget, the new facility was downsized from 32,000 sqft to 14,217 sqft, eliminating the leasable space, restaurant/retail space and CARTA administration offices. On February 2, 2016, the FTA gave final approval citing no significant impact on the environment. Phase one of construction began on August 24, 2017, with the new building and reconstruction of one-half of the side platform. The North Charleston Intermodal Transportation Center officially opened with early-morning train service on December 13, 2018.
In 2019, phase two of construction includes the razing of the Atlantic Coast Line depot, reconstructing the remaining half of the side platform, roadway modifications, CARTA bus turnoffs and vehicle parking

# Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka
Lieutenant General **Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka** (26 September 1926 -- 17 April 1967) was a Ghanaian military officer who was a member of the ruling National Liberation Council which came to power in Ghana in a military coup d\'état on 24 February 1966. This overthrew the government of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of the republic.
## Early life and education {#early_life_and_education}
Emmanuel Kotoka was born at Alakple, a village in the Keta district of the Volta Region of the Gold Coast (British colony). He completed his basic education at the Alakple Roman Catholic School and later attended the Anloga Senior School in 1941. He started training as a goldsmith but switched to a career in the military. Kotoka was enlisted as a private in the infantry school of the Gold Coast Regiment.
## Military career {#military_career}
In July 1947, he enlisted in the infantry school of the Gold Coast Regiment at Teshie in Accra. He rose through the ranks, becoming a sergeant in 1948, and later Company Sergeant Major in 1951. In 1952, he was among some west African soldiers selected for training at Eaton Hall Officer Cadet School in the United Kingdom. In 1954, he was commissioned as a lieutenant and seconded to the British Army of the Rhine.
On his return to the (Gold Coast) (as Ghana was then called), he was made a platoon commander of the Second Gold Coast Regiment of Infantry. He rose to become the second-in-command, and in 1959, became the platoon commander with the rank of Captain. He was promoted to the rank of Major later that year.
In 1960, he attended the company commander\'s course at the School of Infantry in Warminster, England. In 1960, he was the commander of D company of the detachment of the Second Battalion of the Ghana Army which made up Ghana\'s contingent in the United Nations Operation in the Congo deployed in the capital, Leopoldville, now Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He was regarded as a national hero following this deployment. He was awarded the Ghana Service Order for Exceptional Bravery for Distinguished Service in the Congo in 1963. He later became the Commander of the Second Infantry Brigade (now the Central Command) of the Ghana Army) located at Kumasi.
## Politics
In 1965, the then Lieutenant-Colonel Kotoka was transferred to Kumasi where he met and became friends with then Major Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa, an officer in the Second Brigade of the Ghana Army. The two are generally credited with being among the key conspirators behind the first bloody coup d\'état in Ghana on 24 February 1966 which brought an end to the first republic of Ghana. They codenamed it \"Operation Cold Chop\". It was Kotoka who announced the coup to the nation early that morning from the Broadcasting House of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, the official radio station in Ghana. The Central Intelligence Agency appears to have been aware about the plotting of the coup at least a year ahead. On the day of the coup in 1966, Kotoka was promoted to Major General and became a member of the ruling National Liberation Council and also the Commissioner for Ministry of Health as well as General Officer Commanding the Ghana Armed Forces. On the first anniversary of the coup, February 24, 1967, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General.
## Death
On 17 April 1967, a company of the reconnaissance regiment of the Ghana Army, based at HO, in the Volta Region, attempted to overthrow the NLC government. The operation was code-named \"Guitar-boy\". Lt. Yeboah and men under his command succeeded in breaking through the defenses of the army headquarters at Flagstaff House and capturing Lt.-Gen. Kotoka. During his court-martial, Lt. Yeboah admitted to stabbing and shooting Kotoka to death.
Kotoka was the general officer commanding the Ghana armed forces, making him the substantive commander-in-chief of the military, at the time of his death.
Lt. Moses Yeboah and Lt. Sam Arthur were later tried and sentenced to death by a military tribunal. They were publicly executed at the military firing range at Teshie, Accra.

# Desiertos
***Desiertos*** (Spanish: \"deserts\") is the debut album by Chilean pop/rock band, La Ley. The album was the only one featuring all the original members: Beto Cuevas, Mauricio Clavería, Andrés Bobe, Luciano Rojas, and Rodrigo Aboitiz. Due to inner problems with the producer, only 500 copies of the album were released. Following the band\'s success, the album has become a highly sought-after item by fans.
Only one single was released from the album, the song \"Desiertos\" (although the song \"Espina Feroz\" was considered for release as the first single).
## Backstory
In early 1988, La Ley\'s main singer, Shia Arbulú, left the band after some unnoticed demos, returning to her native country of Spain. Rodrigo Aboitiz and Andrés Bobe were soon joined by bassist Luciano Rojas and drummer Mauricio Claveria. However, the group lacked a main vocalist and decided to try a saxophonist named Iván Delgado. They soon realized that he was not the right man for the job and decided to part ways with him.
At this time, Beto Cuevas was touring Chile to meet the country where he was born. Cueva\'s sister knew Clavería\'s sister, and Clavería decided to tell the band that Cuevas was his cousin, so he could get a chance. They quickly realized that Cuevas was their man and decided to include him in the band, which solidified the original group.
After the formation of the group, they were invited to record their first album. The composition was done almost entirely by Bobe, with the participation of Cuevas on the lyrics of one song, and with some collaboration from the other members in the final phase. Soon, 500 copies of the album were released. However, the producer of the album, Carlos Fonseca, and the band got into a legal battle. Since they lacked a contract, the band left him.
### Reissue disputes {#reissue_disputes}
A reissue of *Desiertos* was originally planned for release in 1999 (prior to the 2000 release their album *Uno*). However, negotiations between Cuevas and former producer Fonseca failed to reach an agreement due to Fonseca's refusal in selling the *Desiertos* master recording. New attempts were made again in 2005, and this time it was Fonseca that offered to do so but then again plans had failed due to La Ley's break up that year. In 2015, Germán Bobe, the brother of the deceased band founder and guitarist Andrés Bobe (who died in 1994) along with former members Luciano Rojas and Rodrigo Aboitiz made their attempts to reissue the material but when Cuevas found out about the idea, he immediately opposed alleging that his line-up of La Ley were in the process of releasing the 2016 album *Adaptación*.
In a 2013 interview Cuevas stated that he himself had legally obtained all of the intellectual property rights of La Ley with consent of its previous members, thus himself becoming the sole proprietor

# Role-based collaboration
**Role-Based Collaboration** (RBC) represents an emerging research area.
RBC is an approach that can be used to integrate the theory of roles into Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) systems and other computer-based systems. It consists of a set of concepts, principles, mechanisms and methods. RBC presents challenges and benefits not found in traditional CSCW systems. This research will bring exciting improvements to the development and application of CSCW systems and methodologies of collaboration.
Even though we proposed RBC from the point of view of CSCW, we could expand RBC to more fields. RBC can be divided into two categories: special RBC and general RBC. Special RBC means role-based CSCW or HCI. To perform better system analysis, design, implementation, application and evaluations, it is hoped to apply role theory to CSCW or Human Computer Interaction (HCI) systems. Therefore, the gap can be bridged between their developers and the sociologists who are more concerned with the usability of CSCW systems. General RBC is to extend special RBC to the areas such as software engineering, social psychology, organization, management, and artificial intelligence (AI)

# Southern Regional High School
**Southern Regional High School** is a regional comprehensive public high school located in the Manahawkin section of Stafford Township in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in the ninth through twelfth grades and operating as part of the Southern Regional School District. The school is located on a 550 acres wooded campus. The district serves the five municipalities in the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District --- Barnegat Light, Harvey Cedars, Long Beach Township, Ship Bottom, and Surf City --- along with students from Beach Haven and Stafford Township, and additionally the sending district of Ocean Township (including its Waretown section).
As of the 2023--24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,865 students and 149.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student--teacher ratio of 12.5:1. There were 256 students (13.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 90 (4.8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
## History
In May 1956, voters approved by a better than 100-1 margin the construction of a building designed to accommodate 1,500 students in a building on a 45 acres site that would cost \$1.5 million (equivalent to \$`{{Inflation|US|1.5|1956|fmt=c|r=1}}`{=mediawiki} million in `{{Inflation/year|US}}`{=mediawiki}). Prior to the opening of Southern Regional, students from Barnegat, Ocean Township, and Long Beach Island attended the former Barnegat High School, while students from Stafford, Eagleswood, Tuckerton, Little Egg Harbor, and Bass River attended the former Tuckerton High School, which currently houses Tuckerton\'s elementary school.
Southern Regional High School opened in 1957 as a junior-senior high school, housing students from Stafford Township, Barnegat Township, Ocean Township, Tuckerton, Little Egg Harbor, Eagleswood Township, Bass River Township, and all six municipalities of Long Beach Island.
At first, the school only had two sports; boys\' baseball and boys\' basketball. Football was added in 1958, and wrestling came two years later. Girls had \"Sports Nights\" instead of competitive teams. It would not be until the 1960s when women\'s sports would first appear at Southern. Due to the quick growth of the area, a new wing and expanded gymnasium were added in 1966.
In 1970, Southern Regional Middle School opened its doors to 7th and 8th graders. However, it soon became overcrowded. Starting in 1979, students from Tuckerton, Little Egg Harbor, Bass River, and Eagleswood, would attend the newly opened Pinelands Regional High School in Tuckerton. At the same time, an expansion was built onto the middle school, all ninth graders were moved from the high school to the middle school.
The high school went through several changes throughout the 1990s. In December 1991, maintenance crews installing a heating system sparked the fire that damaged the guidance area and several science labs, which were later remodeled. The school also caught fire two years later after an explosion occurred in the school\'s main electric panel. While a new wing of classrooms was added to the high school in 1996, a new two-story building was opened in 1998 adjacent to the existing high school, with the old high school building housing ninth and tenth graders known as the \"9/10 building\", and the new building which houses eleventh and twelfth graders being known as the \"11/12 building. At the same time, the middle school went back to housing the seventh and eighth graders.
In 2004, the Barnegat High School opened, starting with only a freshman class. Each year, a new year was added to Barnegat High School. June 2007 marked Southern Regional\'s last graduating class with students from Barnegat. Barnegat High School became a full 9-12 high school in September 2007 and graduated its first seniors in June 2008. Prior to the termination of the sending relationship with Barnegat, the Southern district had received as much as \$30 million for students attending the school.
## Awards, recognition and rankings {#awards_recognition_and_rankings}
The school was the 192nd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in *New Jersey Monthly* magazine\'s September 2014 cover story on the state\'s \"Top Public High Schools\", using a new ranking methodology. The school had been ranked 236th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 154th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 192nd in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 213th in the magazine\'s September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state. Schooldigger.com ranked the school tied for 175th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (an increase of 20 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (79.4%) and language arts literacy (94.2%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).

# IA-32 Execution Layer
The **IA-32 Execution Layer** (IA-32 EL) is a software emulator in the form of a software driver that improves performance of 32-bit x86 applications running on 64-bit Intel Itanium-based systems, particularly those running Linux and Windows Server 2003. Windows Server 2003 SP1 (for Itanium) and later include it; it can also be downloaded from Microsoft. Most Linux distributions for Itanium also include it. The x86 hardware emulation which was built into Itanium processors was notoriously slow, but Intel did not re-engineer it; after IA-32 EL appeared, Intel dropped x86 hardware emulation from Itanium, starting with the Montecito models in 2006.
The IA-32 EL uses a two-phase (later three-phase) approach: initially it quickly translated every piece of code at a basic block level, adding certain instrumentation for detecting hot code; then hot code was dynamically optimized at a super-block level, and the optimized translated code replaced cold code on the fly. Later interpretation engine was added that allowed to avoid altogether translation of code executed just a few times - cold non-optimized translation became thus the second phase, and hot optimized translation became the third phase. IA-32 Execution Layer supported self-modifying code, and could even optimize it quite well.
Part of the software is under the LGPL and part is under an Intel proprietary license

# Life Among the Ruins
***Life Among the Ruins*** is the fifth full-length studio album by American heavy metal band Virgin Steele. It was released in 1993, after almost five years of inactivity. It is the first album with bassist Rob DeMartino, who replaced Joe O\'Reilly, retired from the scene.
The song \"Snakeskin Voodoo Man\" was present only in the American release and was instead released as a single in 1992 in Europe, at the same time of the VHS *Tale of the Snakeskin Voodoo Man*. The VHS featured videos for \"Snakeskin Voodoo Man\", \"Love Is Pain\", \"Invitation-I Dress in Black\" and \"Cage of Angels-Never Believed in Good-Bye\", interviews and backstage footage.
The music of this album is bluesy hard rock and melodic metal, more similar to early Whitesnake\'s recordings than the epic power metal of albums like *Noble Savage* and the following *The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Part I*

In February 1987, Rear Admiral Naughton began Navy Nuclear Power Training, and reported to USS *Enterprise* as executive officer in October 1988.
On 5 January 1991, Rear Admiral Naughton assumed command of USS *New Orleans*. During her nine-month deployment to the Persian Gulf, USS *New Orleans* landed Marines in Kuwait in support of Operation Desert Storm ground offensive, and served as the United States flagship for coalition minesweeping operations in the harbors of Kuwait. He detached on 29 July 1992 to attend Aircraft Carrier Prospective Commanding Officer (PCO) training.
On 27 August 1993, Rear Admiral Naughton assumed command of USS *Enterprise*. During his command, he supervised a \$2.1 billion refueling of the USS *Enterprise* nuclear plant. He led a 5,000-man crew through an intense shipyard refit, nuclear qualifications, and a multimillion-dollar ship\'s force habitability project. He re-energized a shipyard overhaul that was \$100 million over budget and behind schedule. Teamed with all levels of Newport News Shipbuilding, the ship was delivered in 15 months and on budget. His shipyard acumen resulted in a comprehensive Navy-wide study for other shipyard projects and, more importantly, phase two of the overhaul was completed 17% ahead of schedule and \$30M under budget. *Enterprise* returned to the fleet with the most modern C4I systems and engineering plant on schedule and under budget. He detached on 2 February 1996.
In 1996, Rear Admiral Naughton reported to the staff of Joint Task Force-South West Asia in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he served as deputy director of operations before assuming duties as deputy commander in 1999.
From 1996 to 1998, he was director for plans and policy (J-5) United States Transportation Command where he developed an innovative strategy for worldwide transportation and supply chain distribution. This included the first application of radio frequency tracking tags for military cargo and distributed in transit visibility by customers. He adjudicated critical concept development for future time phased deployment needs of equipment and resources in times of crisis worldwide and orchestrated the first-ever Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement that gives military access to the Global Intermodal Transportation System at a predetermined cost during time of conflict. Personally awarded the Vice President of the United States Hammer Award for outstanding government and industry cooperation.
From 1998 to 2000, Naughton served as commander, Carrier Group FOUR/Carrier Striking Force where he trained all deploying battle groups (over 100,000 sailors and marines) within the Atlantic area of responsibility and ensured all commanders were fully prepared for any contingency, had maintenance support, supply infrastructure and the proper skills to fight and win around the world. He was responsible for coordinating installations and testing with Sea, Air and Space Systems Commands to ensure configuration control and supply support for every aircraft and ship that deployed. His innovative approach completely changed and streamlined the training process increasing readiness while reducing costs.
From 2000 to 2002, he served as commander, Naval Strike & Air Warfare Center, Naval Air Station Fallon, NV, where he led a team in developing significant skills to fly high performance aircraft in the most difficult environment. He consolidated eleven advanced training organizations, brought online a unique reach back command and control system for deployed war fighters at a fraction of original cost estimates, and trained every deploying Battle Group /Airwing team that served in Afghanistan and Iraq. These initiatives reduced cost and significantly improved readiness.
Naughton\'s last assignment in the Navy was as Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy, an organization of over 4,000 midshipmen and 3,000 support staff with an annual budget responsibility of \$220 million. He was relieved of duty after assaulting an enlisted Marine gate guard returning to the academy following a New Year\'s Eve party in his first year. Though a vice admiral at the time, he was reprimanded and retired at the lower rank of rear admiral (upper half).
He died February 25, 2011, in San Diego.

# Alan Green (footballer, born 1954)
**Alan Green** (born 1 January 1954) is a former professional footballer. Born in England, he began his career with Coventry City before moving to the United States in 1979. He played seven seasons in the North American Soccer League and earned one cap with the U.S. national team.
## Professional
### In England {#in_england}
Green, a native of Worcester, England, began his professional career with Coventry City. He joined the club as a striker in 1970 but did not make his first team debut until 22 April 1972, his only appearance during that season. He peaked with the club during the 1975--76 season when he played 31 games and scored nine goals. After that, his appearances and goals slowly began to taper off.
### In the United States {#in_the_united_states}
In 1977, Coventry loaned Green to the Washington Diplomats (Dips) of the North American Soccer League (NASL), whose season ran during the summer months or the English off-season. Green played 16 games, scoring nine goals and assisting on five others. At the end of the 1978-79 English season, Green left Coventry to move permanently to the NASL, rejoining the Diplomats for the next two years. Green became a prolific scorer with the Dips, finding the net 42 times in 56 games, earning NASL All-Star Honorable Mention honours for 1980.
At the end of the 1980 season, the Dips sold Green to the Jacksonville Tea Men; he spent two seasons with the Tea Men. In his first season, Green again gained NASL All-Star Honorable Mention; in 1982, however, he bagged only six goals in 18 games. At the end of the season, the Tea Men traded Green to the San Jose Earthquakes. He played the 1982-1983 NASL indoor season with the Earthquakes, scoring seven goals.
In 1983, U.S. Soccer entered the United States national team, as Team America, into the NASL. The team drew on American citizens playing in the NASL, Major Indoor Soccer League, and American Soccer League. However, the USSF and the NASL quickly discovered that many top American players preferred to remain with their existing clubs. To fill the roster, U.S. Soccer was forced to draw on foreign imports, and it negotiated with the Earthquakes to loan Green to Team America although he was still a British subject. Team America\'s 1983 season was a disaster, with a league-worst 10--20 record and dwindling attendance figures; the club folded at the season\'s end. Green then became a free agent and signed with the New York Cosmos as the team prepared for the 1983-84 NASL indoor season. Green received his American citizenship in November 1983 and played with the Cosmos through the indoor season, the subsequent 1984 outdoor season, and finally, the club\'s 1984-85 indoor season in the Major Indoor Soccer League. In 1985, just as the NASL was collapsing, Green retired as a player.
## U.S. National Team {#u.s._national_team}
Once Green gained U.S. citizenship, he earned a single cap with the United States national team in a 30 May 1984 scoreless tie with Italy. He started but came off for Perry Van der Beck

# Herbert Taylor (Australian politician)
**Herbert Taylor, CMG** (11 May 1885 -- 24 July 1970) was an Australian political party organiser, accountant, and company director.
## Life and political career {#life_and_political_career}
Taylor was born in Malmsbury, Victoria, eldest of five children of Ralph Herbert William Taylor, a schoolteacher, and Alice Ann French. Both of Herbert Taylor\'s parents were born and raised in Victoria. From 1896 the family lived in Ormond, Victoria.
### Marriage
Herbert Taylor and Doris Brock (died 1966) were married on 8 May 1919, at the Congregational Church, Brighton, Victoria; the couple had three sons.
### Career
In 1902, at the age of 17, Taylor left Caulfield Grammar School and began work as a clerk at a chemical manufacturer. In 1905, three years later, Taylor joined an accountancy firm, which sent him to open their Perth office in 1907. In 1913, Taylor became senior audit clerk with a Melbourne firm of accountants, Young & Outhwaite. He secured his permanent career with a partnership in 1917; he was to become senior partner upon A. H. Outhwaite\'s retirement in 1947.
A founding (1928) fellow of the **Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia**, Herbert Taylor (from 1933) was one of two inaugural vice-presidents of the offshoot **Australian Chartered Accountants Research Society of Victoria**. Its object was to bring members of the institute together, \"professionally, socially and in various forms of sport\". Under the society\'s auspices, Taylor published two booklets, *The Organisation of a Chartered Accountant\'s Office* (1933) and *The Audit of Sharebrokers\' Accounts* (1937).
Taylor joined the Institute of Public Affairs and was to serve on its council in 1945--66. In 1944, as an I.P.A. nominee, he chaired several meetings of Victorian political groups opposed to the Australian Labor Party and reported the outcome to Robert Menzies. These meetings preceded Menzies\' conventions --- in Canberra in October and at Albury in December 1944, which led to the formation of the Australian Liberal Party.
He served on the Liberal Party\'s finance committee and became a trustee of the State branch. After two years as president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Australia, he voiced in April 1947 the Liberal stance against the rise of what he called *\"autocratic Socialism\"*, deploring worker intimidation by an extremist minority of trade union leaders and calling on Australians to restore *\"the desire to do good work\"*.
## Affiliations
- Taylor was chairman of the University of Melbourne\'s finance committee in the early 1950s. He also was treasurer (1950--55), vice-president (1956--61) and president (1961--65) of the **Royal Automobile Club of Victoria**. He became a fellow of the Institute of Directors, London.
- By invitation, he joined the international Senior Golfers\' Society and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, Scotland.
- The Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind and the Freemasons\' Hospital both made him a life governor.
## Honours
In 1959 he was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George.
## Death
Herbert Taylor died on 24 July 1970 in East Melbourne, aged 85, and was cremated. He was survived by his three sons. His wife died in 1966

# Pharmaceutical publication planning
**Pharmaceutical publication planning** is the activity of planning the dissemination of scientific and clinical data on a drug to healthcare professionals at scientific congresses and medical society meetings and in peer reviewed medical journals.
## Procedure
Pharmaceutical publication planning involves developing a detailed plan that outlines the timely presentation of verified scientific and clinical data to appropriate types of healthcare professionals such as physicians, pharmacists, nurses, as a drug undergoes clinical trials and after it is marketed. Because of scientific and therapeutic advances, pharmaceutical publication planning has become a well-established and important function by pharmaceutical companies in order to educate healthcare professionals accordingly about new drugs and marketed drugs with new clinical uses or safety information.
Within pharmaceutical companies, publication planning is usually overseen by medical or clinical affairs professionals. In this effort, pharmaceutical companies frequently use the assistance of medical communication agencies with publication planning expertise and professional medical writers.
## Medical communication agencies {#medical_communication_agencies}
Medical communication agencies include a broad range of organizations, including those that focus largely or exclusively on publication planning. When developing and executing a publication plan on behalf of a pharmaceutical or biotechnology client, medical communication agencies employ professional publication strategists, scientific medical directors, medical writers and project managers. Working as a team, this group of individuals delves deep into their client\'s scientific discoveries, and propose the most effective and efficient ways to spread the word about new potential therapies to physicians and other healthcare providers.
There has been some discussion in the media regarding disclosure as it pertains to the use of professional medical writers in this endeavor. Some agencies and professional organizations focused on publication planning have been and continue to develop and refine ethical guidelines and standards for disclosure and transparency.
## Professional publication planning associations {#professional_publication_planning_associations}
Professional organizations for individuals involved in pharmaceutical publication planning include the International Society of Medical Publication Professionals (ISMPP) and The International Publication Planning Association (TIPPA). The purpose of these organizations is to create a forum where individuals involved with pharmaceutical publication planning and biomedical publications can meet and share knowledge and experience. They serve to promote career opportunities and professional development of individuals involved with pharmaceutical publication planning, as well as to promote standards of excellence in ethical professional medical writing and the biomedical publication process in disseminating scientific and clinical data on pharmaceutical products.
In 2009, ISMPP began a certification program for publication planning professionals

# Makua languages
The **Makua** or **Makhuwa** languages are a branch of Bantu languages spoken primarily in Mozambique.
## Name
The name *Makua (Macua)*, more precisely *Makhuwa*, is used on three levels. Some sources distinguish these with differences in spelling \'Makua\' vs. \'Makhuwa\', but they are not consistent.
1. Central Makhuwa, or \"Makhuwa-Makhuwana\", the prestige dialect
2. The Makhuwa language, including various dialects which also go by the name *Makhuwa*; sometimes called \'core\' or \'nuclear\' Makua, but this is not consistent
3. Closely related languages which often have their own names, such as Lomwe (also known as Western Makua)
## Classification
Makhuwa is assigned to Zone P of the Guthrie classification of Bantu languages. With the classification of the other Zone-P languages as Rufiji--Ruvuma, Makhuwa becomes essentially synonymous with Zone P. However, the zones are geographic rather than genealogical clades. The closest relatives of the Makhuwa branch are not clear, but some classifications place them with the Nyasa and Southern Bantu languages.
- Makhuwa (Core Makhuwa, including dialects Makhuwa-Meetto, Makhuwa-Shirima, Makhuwa-Marrevone, etc.)
- Koti
- Sakati
- Lomwe (including Ngulu dialect)
- Chuwabu
- Moniga
The core languages, and beyond, have minimal mutual intelligibility

# Lake surfing
thumb\|upright=1.1\|Waves in Lake Ontario with Toronto skyline `{{more citations needed section|date=August 2021}}`{=mediawiki} **Lake surfing** is surfing on any lake with sufficient surface area for wind to produce waves. As with ocean surfing, ideal wave conditions are when the wind switches offshore. However, when this occurs over a lake the waves generated by previous onshore wind subside relatively quickly. This means lake surfers have a shorter window of opportunity to surf ideal waves. Lake surfers are often out during and experiencing the same storm that creates the waves whereas ocean surfers are more often surfing on swell produced by storms hundreds of miles away and that may have taken days to reach shore. In addition to making it more difficult to manage surfboards, high winds can make the face of a wave and water surface rough. Increased wave frequency due to shorter fetch results in less rest between waves and sets of waves. This can make it necessary to paddle out through waves because there may not be a long enough pause between sets to paddle out between them.
Though not significant enough to necessitate surfboard design changes, the reduced buoyancy of fresh water results in increased drag when paddling. Lake surfers enjoy water that is fresh (\"sweet\" as opposed to salty) and do not have to worry about the dangers from marine life (e.g. sharks, jellyfish, etc.) that ocean surfers may have to contend with.
Lakes where surfing is possible include the Great Lakes on the United States--Canada border and Lake Tahoe on the California--Nevada border.
## Great Lakes {#great_lakes}
Strong storms, particularly in the winter and fall (at which time they may be referred to as a November Witch), can produce large waves on the Great Lakes in North America. During these surf seasons, there is often snow, shelf ice, and some ice in the water, making access difficult and conditions more dangerous. Dedicated surfers wear wetsuits or drysuits to keep warm. The surface water temperature when much Great Lakes surfing occurs averages between 0 and 5 C.
Sheboygan, Wisconsin, featured in surf films and referred to as the Malibu of the Midwest, hosted an annual Dairyland Surf Classic on Labor Day weekend from 1988 to 2012, which was the largest lake surfing competition in the world.
Great Lakes surfing has grown in popularity over the past decade thanks to the advances in wetsuit and or drysuits technology and the proliferation of information on the internet. There are small surf communities all around the Great Lakes, and medium-sized communities in larger cities such as Toronto and Chicago. Local community organizations such as [Great Lakes Surfer\'s Journal](http://greatlakessurfing.com/), [Surfrider Foundation Milwaukee](http://milwaukee.surfrider.org/) and [Surf the Greats](https://surfthegreats.org/) are intended to nurture these communities, protect shorelines, and to raise awareness of Great Lakes surfing

# Ice Fjord
**Ice Fjord** is a bay 5.5 mi long and 2 mi wide, entered between Weddell Point and Kade Point along the south coast and near the west end of the island of South Georgia. The name is well established, dating back to about 1920. A number of features along the bay\'s coast, including several smaller bays, have been charted and named.
During a visit to South Georgia in 1911--12, Scottish geologist David Ferguson named two bays within Ice Fjord as North and South Bays. Since both of these names were well established for the two arms of Prince Olav Harbor, the bays were renamed in 1957 by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC). 1.5 nmi wide North Bay was renamed Narval Bay after the whale catcher *Narval*, while South Bay was renamed Miles Bay, after the whale catcher *Don Miles*, both of which were owned by the Compañía Argentina de Pesca.
Morsa Bay is a small bay 2.5 nmi east of Weddell Point, first surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951--57, and named by the UK-APC for the whale catcher *Morsa*, owned by the Compañía Argentina de Pesca.
Ryan Glacier flows west across South Georgia to the head of Ice Fjord. Comer Crag stands 1 nmi north of the head of Ice Fjord. Tawny Gap extends across South Georgia from the head of Ice Fjord to a cove just south of Wales Head

# Iñaki Descarga
**Iñaki Descarga Retegui** (born 25 August 1976) is a Spanish former footballer. Mainly a central defender, he could also operate as a right-back.
He started and ended his 16-year professional career with Real Unión, but played mainly for Levante (eight seasons and 226 official matches, 61 in La Liga).
## Club career {#club_career}
Descarga was born in Irun, Basque Country. After an insignificant stint with CA Osasuna in the Segunda División and a season with neighbours SD Eibar in the same level, he spent eight years with Levante UD, where he would be one of their most influential players as well as captain, helping to two promotions to La Liga. His first match in the competition came on 13 November 2004 in a 1--0 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña, with the Valencian Community side being relegated on the last matchday.
Following Levante\'s severe financial crisis during 2007--08, Descarga was one of many players who would leave, joining Legia Warsaw in August 2008 and reuniting with former Osasuna teammate Iñaki Astiz. He made his Ekstraklasa debut in a 2--2 draw against Arka Gdynia, leaving the pitch after just 13 minutes after tearing his hamstring; he left at the end of the campaign, with ten total appearances.
In July 2009, Descarga signed with his first club Real Unión, recently promoted to the second tier. On 20 June 2010, as they were immediately relegated, he helped seal their fate by scoring in his own net in a 0--2 home defeat to neighbours Real Sociedad (last matchday).
After not being able to help Unión return to division two, Descarga retired in June 2011 at the age of 35.
### Match-fixing controversy {#match_fixing_controversy}
On 3 December 2008, Spanish regional TV channel *Popular TV del Mediterráneo* released a recording of a telephone conversation between Levante\'s president, Julio Romero, and club defender Descarga, in which the latter admitted that a certain number of his teammates had accepted a bribe to lose a 17 June 2007 match against Athletic Bilbao. The opposition won 2--0, and RC Celta de Vigo were instead relegated

# Zhuangzi Tests His Wife
***Zhuangzi Tests His Wife*** (`{{lang-zh|t=莊子試妻|p=Zhuangzi shi qi}}`{=mediawiki}) is a 1913 Hong Kong drama film directed by Li Minwei. It is the earliest feature film of Hong Kong cinema, and the only film made by the Huamei (Chinese-American) Studio, which was co-founded by Benjamin Brosky, who had sold his Asia Film Company in Shanghai, and Li Minwei. The film was never screened in Hong Kong. Brosky brought the film to the United States, and it became the first Chinese film to be shown abroad when it was exhibited in the Chinese communities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is based on the zidishu play \"The Butterfly Dream\" written by Chunshuzhai.
## Cast
Li Minwei stars as the wife of Zhuangzi, and Li Minwei\'s wife Yan Shanshan (1896--1951) became the first Chinese film actress, playing a servant girl.
- Li Beihai \... Zhuangzi
- Li Minwei \... Zhuangzi\'s wife
- Yan Shanshan \... Servant Girl
## Background
Fourth century BCE Zhuangzi (or Zhuang Zhou), one of the two defining figures of Chinese Taoism, based his philosophy on all things changing, and the perception of truth depending on the context under which it exists. Throughout history, his teachings have been particularly favored by Chinese scholars and artists, many of whom were inspired by Zhuangzi\'s philosophy.
## Plot
## In other media {#in_other_media}
Operatic versions of *Zhuangzi Tests His Wife* have been performed on stage by the Peking Opera and others.
Most operatic versions end with Zhuangzi burying his wife after she commits suicide for being disloyal to her husband. But this version tackles the story from a different angle. While Tian Shi still ultimately kills herself, Zhuangzi turns her and himself into butterflies and then, eventually, into dust

# Amina Claudine Myers
**Amina Claudine Myers** (born March 21, 1942) is an American jazz pianist, organist, vocalist, composer, and arranger.
## Biography
Born in Blackwell, Arkansas, \"Myers was brought up largely by her great-aunt, a schoolteacher, and her great-uncle, a carpenter by trade who played the clarinet, piano, and flute\". She started taking piano lessons around the age of four, including at Sacred Hearts Catholic School, and when she was seven, her family moved to Roosevelt, a Black community outside of Dallas, Texas. Myers took piano and violin lessons, but eventually, partly for financial reasons, settled on the piano, taking weekly lessons of fifteen minutes each. She began to learn some European classical music at high school, but this was interrupted when she and the family moved back to Blackwell.
Myers majored in music education at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas. In her second year, she was invited to play at The Safari Room in Memphis, Tennessee. This engagement, however, was very brief, as her musical repertoire was too limited. After graduation, she moved in 1963 to Chicago, where she taught music at an elementary school. She also attended classes at Roosevelt University and worked with musicians such as Sonny Stitt and Gene Ammons. She was one of the performers at the AACM\'s second concert. In the late 1960s, Myers added \"Amina\" to her name.
In 1976 Myers relocated to New York City, where she intensified her compositional work and expanded it into the realm of Off-Broadway productions. She also continued performing and recording as a pianist and organist. Around 1978 she began touring in Europe with the Lester Bowie Quintet and his New York Organ Ensemble.

# FreeCol
***FreeCol*** is a 4X video game, a clone of *Sid Meier\'s Colonization*. *FreeCol* is free and open source software released under the GNU GPL-2.0-or-later. In 2023, the *FreeCol* project reached its 1.0 release, after twenty years of development.
*FreeCol* is mostly programmed in Java and should thus be platform-independent. In practice, it is known to run on Linux and Windows, as well as Mac OS X (with some limitations).
While remaining faithful to the original in terms of mechanics and gameplay, *FreeCol* features redesigned graphics. Moreover, in addition to the classical *Colonization* rules, it features an additional ruleset that incorporates ideas that didn\'t make it to the final version of Meier\'s game, requests by fans and original concepts like new European players with new national bonuses.
## Gameplay
In *FreeCol* the player leads the colony of a European power from the arrival on the shore of the New World into the future, achieving victory by one of two possible victory conditions: either gaining independence by declaring independence and subsequently defeating the dispatched royal expeditionary force or by defeating the colonies of all the competing European powers by the year 1600. To be allowed to declare independence, at least 50% of the player\'s colonists must support independence. This is achieved by producing liberty bells; 200 liberty bells turn one colonist from being a royalist into being a rebel. To be able to defeat the royal expeditionary force the player must train and build a strong enough army of their own.
Another important factor are the numerous settlements of different Native American nations. Native settlements can be traded with to gain gold or they can be conquered for treasure. Native settlements can also teach the player\'s colonists and turn them into specialist. Specialists are considerably more productive when assigned in their trade. Most specialists can be trained for gold in Europe or come as settlers for free, but certain specialists can only be trained at certain native settlements.
*FreeCol* starts in 1492 with two colonists on a caravel on the ocean at the player\'s disposal. The player is the king\'s proxy and is supposed to lead the caravel to the shore and found a colony in the New World consisting of multiple settlements. The player gets additional colonists by producing food (200 food units in a settlement generates a new unit), by immigration from Europe, by converting the natives or by capturing unarmed units of competing European colonies.
The player may trade with Europe using various natural resources which are produced in settlements or acquired from trade with natives. In each settlement the player can also build up industrial buildings to convert raw materials into processed goods, which sell for more in Europe, providing a significant economic advance.
## Reception
In February 2007 FreeCol was SourceForge\'s Project of the Month. In 2008 Rock, Paper, Shotgun\'s game journalist Alec Meer had mixed feelings about FreeCol but still called it: \"it\'s an (sic) remarkable accomplishment, and I\'m very glad it\'s out there.\" and \"FreeCol, though, is here right now, it\'s free, it\'s stable, it\'s pretty much feature-complete and unlike its parent it has multiplayer\". In 2010 Alec Meer named FreeCol in Rock, Paper, Shotgun as a better alternative when he was confronted with the later commercial remake *Civilization IV: Colonization*.
As of September 2024, FreeCol has been downloaded over 2,100,000 times on SourceForge

# Route 7 (MTA Maryland)
**Route 7** was a bus route operated by the Maryland Transit Administration in Baltimore. The line, which operated between 1959 and 2017, ran from Canton, Baltimore to the Mondawmin Metro Subway Station, serving the communities of Butcher\'s Hill, Little Italy, and Sandtown-Winchester.
## History
The bus route is the successor to the **18 Canton**, **18 Pennsylvania Avenue**, and **Hudson Street** streetcar lines; the Pennsylvania Avenue Line was the second streetcar line in Baltimore. Between 1893 and 1931, the Route 7 designation was used for a streetcar that operated between Govanstown and Irvington as a short-turn version of the No. 8 Streetcar. The no. 7 designation was not given to this route until 1959, when it was combined with the Reisterstown Road bus, which at that time had that designation.
The Baltimore City Passenger Railway opened a line along Baltimore Street, Greene Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, and Cumberland Street to Boundary Avenue (now North Avenue) on August 24, 1859. The line was later extended along North Avenue, McCulloh Street, and Cloverdale Road to Madison Avenue, and through-routed to Canton (via Baltimore Street, Broadway, Bank Street, and other streets) as the **Green Line**. The line was electrified in 1894 and numbered **Route 18** in 1899.
**Bus Route L** began serving Reisterstown Road to Pikesville on July 3, 1929. On June 27, 1948, it was combined with Route 5 as **Route 5/7**; Route 7 trips were extended downtown along Druid Hill Avenue, where Route 5 had run as a streetcar line until then. Route 18 was replaced by buses on June 8, 1952, and on September 6, 1959 it was absorbed into Route 7, which was shifted from Druid Hill Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue.
Soon after the Metro Subway opened, Route 7 was truncated on June 18, 1984 to its current terminal at Mondawmin station during the subway\'s operating hours. One new route - Route M-2 - was formed beyond Mondawmin, along Reisterstown Road to Old Court Road at Pikesville. It was extended to the Old Court Metro Subway Station on August 31, 1987, soon after that station opened. Route 7 was truncated full-time to Mondawmin in 2001, when subway and Route M-2 hours were extended.
In 2005, as part of the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative, MTA planned to eliminate Route 7 completely and require riders to walk a few blocks to other nearby routes. Due to public outcry, this line remained intact. In future proposed phases of GBBI, plans were in place to reduce the frequency or change the routing of Route 7, but no such changes were made.
On June 18, 2017 as part of the BaltimoreLink transit overhaul Route 7 will be divided into multiple routes. CityLink Lime will take over the upper part of the Pennsylvania Avenue section of Route 7, LocalLink 65 will take over the Pratt and Lombard Streets to Canton part of Route 7, and LocalLink 73 will take over the lower part of Pennsylvania Avenue to Paca and Greene Streets part of Route 7.

## Rosewood service {#rosewood_service}
Between 1970 and 2000, a special service using the no. 7 (or 7X) designation operated for the employees of Rosewood Center in Owings Mills. The service has started to replace **Route H** service operated by experimental Job Express Transit in 1969. Rosewood trips shared parts of the regular route of Route 7, including some parts in which limited stops were made, hence an express designation.
In 1997, a new **Route M-17** was formed. Route M-17 started as a replacement for special branches of Routes M-9 and M-16, which were combined at the time.
The initial proposal was for the 7 Rosewood branch to be discontinued except on Sundays, and the new Route M-17 to serve Rosewood on weekdays and Saturdays. But public outcry resulted in the 7 Rosewood service being retained. When Route M-17 was first introduced in 1997, it did not serve Rosewood at all, and simply operated between the **Business Center at Owings Mills** and the **Owings Mills Corporate Campus**. But a year later, Route M-17 was modified to serve Rosewood as well as the T. Rowe Price Owings Mills campus. Later in 1998, Route M-17 had another addition in which service to the ADP building on Red Run Boulevard, providing service to other office buildings that would eventually be built along Red Run. Midday service to Red Run existed briefly in 1999, but was discontinued due to low ridership.
In 2001, the 7 Rosewood service was redesignated **Route 102**. Routing was also modified to serve the Owings Mills Metro Subway Station. The name change was not free of controversy.
In 2005, as part of the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative, Route 102 was discontinued. Low ridership and a heavy burden on taxpayers was cited as the reason. Additional trips were added on Route M-17 to accommodate riders of Route 102, including late night and weekend service. Other parts of Route M-17 that had low ridership were also discontinued, including those to the Owings Mills Corporate Campus and T. Rowe Price.
On August 30, 2009, following the closure of Rosewood, Route M-17 was discontinued and the Red Run Portion was absorbed by the 59. No replacement was made for any service north of Reisterstown Road.
## In popular culture {#in_popular_culture}
- The no. 7 bus is found in the novel *Woodholme* By DeWayne Wickham. In this book, the main characters have a driver catch them up to a no. 7 bus on Reisterstown Road
