# Edward Lipiński (economist)
**Edward Lipiński** (October 18, 1888 -- July 13, 1986) was a Polish economist, intellectual, social critic and human rights advocate. During the almost seven decades of his career, he held a series of academic and government advisory positions, founded several organizations, published books and essays on economic policy. His works concerned business cycles, growth theory, history of economic thought and other areas of economics. Lipiński was a fighter for Polish independence and a socialist activist in the Second Polish Republic. In the Polish People\'s Republic, Lipiński was an influential Marxian economist and a long-term member of the communist party. Outspoken in his criticism of government policies, he became active in opposition circles.
## Life, career and social activism {#life_career_and_social_activism}
Lipiński was born at Nowe Miasto, Congress Poland in the Russian Empire. He was briefly jailed in 1906 for protesting Tsarist rule in Poland. Educated in Leipzig from 1909 to 1912, he obtained a doctorate in economics from the University of Zurich prior to World War I. After World War I, in early independent Poland, he participated in the Polish--Soviet War.
He organized and directed the Institute of Prices and Business Cycles in 1928. From 1929, he was professor in the Warsaw School of Economics. He founded the Central Statistical Office and the Polish Economic Association. He also served as president of the Economic Association (1945--65), was editor of the periodical *Ekonomista* (\'The Economist\'), and a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Being Poland\'s foremost economist, Lipiński was also a notable author whose works are widely read in his native Poland, though many have not yet been translated into English. In 1938, he actively opposed the antisemitic campaign carried out at institutions of higher learning by Polish nationalistic factions and supported by the Camp of National Unity party, which forced him to resign from his position at the School of Economics. During the occupation of Poland in World War II, Professor Lipiński held underground classes.
After the war, he was briefly the chair of economics at the University of Warsaw and became one of the economic advisors to the Polish government.
Lipiński was a member of the Polish Socialist Party (*PPS-Lewica*) since 1906. In 1948, when the PPS was merged with the communist Polish Workers\' Party, he became a member of the new communist Polish United Workers\' Party (PZPR).
Throughout his postwar career, he frequently clashed with communist government economists regarding their inflexibility in applying Karl Marx\'s economic principles. An outspoken critic of Stalinism, Lipinski warned that \"over-organization\" of economic policy and rigid adherence to the party line, even in the face of rapidly changing conditions that required immediate action beyond the scope of the routine, would stifle growth. Because of his criticism, when the hard line Stalinist faction of Bolesław Bierut gained power in 1949, Lipiński was forced to resign as chair of economics at the university and banned from delivering some of his lectures.
After the Polish October of 1956, Lipiński briefly returned as an economic advisor, but when the new government lost its zeal to reform, he became sidelined again. His candidature was one of many that were put forward by the people, but discarded by the government screening commission in the Polish legislative election in 1957.
Lipiński became one of the prominent critics of the government. His position as a known Marxist economist shielded him to certain extent from government persecution and allowed him to say things many others were unable to. Till the very end he remained convinced that some form of socialism is preferable to capitalism. He signed three public letters criticizing the communist government: the Letter of 34 in 1964, the Letter of 59 in 1975 and the Letter of 14 in 1976. In 1977 he was expelled from the PZPR.
In the spring of 1976, Lipiński sent an open letter to First Secretary Edward Gierek of the PZPR, criticizing the drastic price increase on foodstuffs that Gierek imposed in an attempt to balance Poland\'s import-based economy that relied heavily on Western loans. Gierek, who came to power after the overthrow of Władysław Gomułka, promised to improve the quality of life of Polish workers by raising wages and stabilizing prices. In his letter Lipiński wrote \"Socialism cannot be decreed. It is and may only be born of free actions of free people\" and pledged that \"the movement of revival shall gain strength and the recently intensified repression will not contain it for much longer...\" Lipinski\'s letter came at the time of renewal of massive strikes and riots in Poland.
The letter also coincided with the formation of the Workers\' Defence Committee, which marked the beginning of successful cooperation of workers and intellectuals. Also known as the KOR, this group founded by Edward Lipiński, Stanisław Barańczak, Jan Józef Lipski and others gave assistance to worker protest participants jailed after the widespread strikes. Lipiński was one of the elder distinguished members of the organization, whose presence added a degree of protection from the authorities. The assistance provided by the KOR and the continual activities of its members helped, after another wave of strikes, make the Gdańsk Agreement of 1980 possible. On 23 September 1981, Lipiński gave a speech to Solidarity independent trade union first national congress, announcing the disbanding of the KOR. He heralded the arrival of Solidarity as a political force, saying \"The KOR has recognized that its work has ended, and that other forces have arrived on a much more powerful scale. But the task of fighting for an independent Poland, for human and civil rights, is a fight that still must go on.\"
## Works
Lipiński is the author of nearly 200 books and essays on subjects ranging from the theory of economic fluctuations, a field upon which he wielded a great influence, to industrial performance, prices and planning, market structures, and in his early career, social issues. A great deal of his work was dedicated to socio-economic research. Never relying solely on mathematical models and theory to predict and explain economical phenomena, Lipiński is known for the emphasis on human creativity and spontaneity. In his seminal *Karl Marx and Problems of Our Time*, Lipiński posits that economics are a \"complex social phenomena\" and he draws on sociology and psychology to explain trends, as much as he relies on mathematics

# John Hagedorn
**John M. Hagedorn** (July 30, 1947 -- October 31, 2023) was an American professor of criminal justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
## Biography
Hagedorn dropped out of college in 1967 to work full-time in the civil rights and then anti-war movements. He was doing community organizing in Milwaukee in 1981 when he observed gangs forming. He ran the city\'s first gang diversion program and returned to school, getting his BS in 1985 and his MA in sociology in 1987 from the University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee.
Hagedorn studied under Joan Moore and received a PhD in Urban Studies in 1993 from the University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee. Hagedorn\'s first book, *People & Folks*, argued for more jobs than jails and applied William Julius Wilson's underclass theory to gangs. He was the architect of a neighborhood-based, family centered social service reform that became the subject of his dissertation, published as *Forsaking Our Children*. With a crew of former gang members he conducted a multi-year re-study of Milwaukee gangs, which led to a second edition of *People & Folks*. In the first edition, Hagedorn predicted that if jobs were not created Milwaukee's gangs would entrench in the illegal economy. This prediction, unfortunately, was supported by his subsequent research.
Hagedorn accepted a tenure track position at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1996. He was editor, along with Meda Chesney-Lind, of *Female Gangs in America*, reprinting many of the classic academic articles on female gangs. His interest turned to Chicago gangs, and he became immersed in the history of the Vice Lords and the importance of race. His global travels further informed his understanding of gangs, which led him to edit the volume *Gangs in the Global City*, and later to write *A World of Gangs*. In *A World of Gangs*, he applied Manuel Castells' work in analyzing gangs, arguing that understanding the cultural struggle for identity was crucial in working with gangs. Mike Davis calls Hagedorn\'s work the foundation of the critical school of gang studies. His most recent book, *The In\$ane Chicago Way*, looks historically at gangs, organized crime, and corruption in Chicago.
Hagedorn died on October 31, 2023, at the age of 76

# Accurate Miniatures
**Accurate Miniatures** is an American manufacturer of scale plastic model kits. It is owned by Collins-Habovick, LLC and is located in Concord, North Carolina, United States. Their products primarily consist plastic model airplane kits from World War II, though they also make model kits of planes and automobiles from other eras.
## History
The original Accurate Miniatures was a Charlotte, North Carolina--based plastic model company that began business in the mid-1990s. They filed for bankruptcy in June 2001. Later that year, Accurate Miniatures was purchased from the original owners by Hobby Investors LLC, now called Collins-Habovick, LLC. The transfer included the sale of the company name, logo, inventory, and intellectual property. Paul Bedford, former general manager of the original *Accurate Miniatures*, claims the deal was part cash and part debt assumption.
In July 2001, Accurate Miniatures, in an attempt to get out of debt, prepared to sell as much as 70% of their tooling (model molds) to the Bologna, Italy--based Italeri. Some of the molds included molds for the Avenger, Dauntless, Grumman F3F, Mustang, Stormovik, and Yak kits. However, the sale to Hobby Investors LLC nullified this deal.
Unseen to Collins-Habovick was the financial disaster left by the previous management. When the previous management ceased operation, substantial debt remained behind. Mold sets like the B-25 and F-3F were not paid off completely, and mold commitments for the NASCAR stock car, SB2U, and an R-4 were not funded at all even though a fair amount of tooling had been complete. All of this (not including unpaid artists, printers, and many others) had to be overcome before anything else could be achieved.
Only through the diligent work and patience of the small staff was Accurate Miniatures able to be resurrected to become a successful company that is praised by model builders for their high-quality kits and attention to detail.

# Cleveland Robinson
**Cleveland Lowellyn** \"**Cleve**\" **Robinson** (December 12, 1914 -- August 23, 1995) was a Jamaican-born American labor organizer and civil rights activist. He was a key figure in the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, for which he acted as the Chairman of the Administrative Committee.
## Life
Cleveland Robinson was born in Swabys Hope, in Manchester Parish, Jamaica. After serving as a local constable and an elementary school teacher, he emigrated to the U.S. in 1944. When he arrived, he took a job in a Manhattan dry goods store and very soon became active in District 65. In 1947 he owned his own shop; he went on to become a steward, and then a full-time organizer for the union. He was elected vice-president in 1950 and later in 1952 became secretary-treasurer. He held that position until he retired in 1992. When District 65 was affiliated with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Workers Union, Robinson held the positions of international vice-president and executive board member of that union. After disagreements with the retail, wholesale and department store workers union District 65 pulled out and organized the National Council of Distributive Workers of America and Robinson was elected president of the new body. In 1981, District 65 was affiliated with the United Auto Workers. At that time the union had 33,000 members in 37 states, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Robinson was a stalwart of the civil rights movement. In 1957, he participated in the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom. He was the chairman and one of the key organizers of the August 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In September 1972, he helped to found the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU), successor organization to the Negro American Labor Council (NALC), and served as its first vice-president.
Robinson suffered from glaucoma for many years, and was legally blind by 1970. His level of commitment and activity was in no way impaired by this disability. He never lost touch with his Jamaican origins and traveled to the island often, keeping up a keen interest in a number of Jamaican-American political, cultural and fraternal organizations.
Robinson died of kidney failure in New York City in August 1995. His papers are held by the Tamiment Library & Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives, New York University.
## Family
His first wife was Sue Eliza Robinson; they had two sons and a daughter. When she died in 1976, he married Doreen McPherson Robinson

# Jeffersonville Ethics Commission
The **Jeffersonville Ethics Commission** is a commission formed in 2006 by an ordinance compiled by the City Council of Jeffersonville, Indiana that was passed unanimously on June 30, 2006. Then it was signed by Mayor Rob Waiz on July 13, 2006. The Commission reviews complaints and subjects of interests in the financing and campaigning of political campaigns in the city of Jeffersonville. The basis for the local ordinance was a model document from the National League of Cities and campaign-finance codes from a variety of U.S. cities, including Chicago and San Antonio.
## Municipal campaign finance code {#municipal_campaign_finance_code}
The **Municipal Campaign Finance Code** also known as the **Jeffersonville Ethics Ordinance** is what the Jeffersonville Ethics Commission use to enforce political campaigns. It is ordinance 2006-OR-36 in the city records and contains eighteen pages and seven articles. The ordinance introduces its intent and then goes into **Article I** of the ordinance giving definitions of terms used in the ordinance. **Article II - Code of Conduct** and explains things in fifteen sections from fiduciary duty all the way to prohibition of excepting donations from people with pending litigations against the city. **Article III - Financial Disclosure** refers to 94-OR-17 Section three of a previous ordinance regulating ethics for city officials and employees. **Article IV - Board of Ethics** which explains how members of the ethics commission are nominated to the position and how they will function and contains two sections. The composition of powers of the board and a Confidentiality clause. **Article V - Sanctions for Violation** contains three sections explaining the penalties and process of them. **Article VI - Miscellaneous Provisions** which covers severability. **Article VII - Effective Date**.
### Amended version {#amended_version}
The Municipal Campaign Finance Code would become amended with an ordinance numbering 2007-OR-56 in city records. In this amendment to the Municipal Campaign Finance Code it begins with an introduction, **Article I** definitions, and then into **Article II** *Section 2.4 Receiving and Collecting Gifts and Favors*. Section 2.4 restricts the context in which gifts or favors are given and what can be given. It also explains who can give gifts or favors and what amounts in certain situations can be given. *Section 2.5 City Owned Property* addressed that use of property of the city is for official use only and all uses must be authorized prior to usage by city officials or employees. Then *Section 2.6 Use or Disclosure of Confidential Information* explains that officials, candidates, and city employees shall not disclose confidential information other than what required by law, performing his or her official duties, and as permitted in section 2.13. The Municipal Finance Code continues explanations in conflicts of interest regulating business conducted with people like family members of an official, representations of other people regulating how officials and employees represent the city or other persons in situations, post employment restrictions regulating how business is conducted after leaving a job with the city or official position, interests in city business regulating the interaction of business conducted with officials or employees for contracts, services, or other work. After those sections this amendment addresses the employment of Relative in which input is prohibited in the decision process of hiring someone of relation to an official or employee of the city. The hiring of relatives has been controversial for several mayor administrations in the past. The amendment then continues with political activity regulating officials, candidates, or employees interactions with other officials or employees political interests. As well as the limitations thus far the amendment addresses a Whistleblower Protection clause for people making reports with the Ethics Commission as long as they aren\'t knowingly making a false report. The rest of the amendment clarifies limitations of contributions to elected officials and candidates and the prohibition of accepting donations from individuals, entities, or corporations that have pending litigation against the city. **Article III** is the *Financial Disclosure* referencing an old ordinance numbered 94-OR-17 in the city records. **Article IV** *Board of Ethics* regulates the composition and powers of the board and confidentiality. **Article V** *Sanctions for Violations* explains employment sanctions, fines, and validity of contract. **Article VI** *Miscellaneous Provisions* regulating severability. **Article VIII** *Effective Date* which was passed by the Council on November 5, 2007, and then signed by mayor Rob Waiz on November 9.

He was also a member of the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, and Chicago Bears.

## Professional career {#professional_career}
### Carolina Panthers {#carolina_panthers}
Rosario was chosen by Carolina Panthers in the fifth round (155th overall) of the 2007 NFL draft. As a rookie in 2007, he caught six passes for 108 yards (an 18.0 per-catch average) and two touchdowns. Rosario became just the third player in Carolina history to score a touchdown on first career NFL reception when he caught a five-yard pass from quarterback, Vinny Testaverde against the San Francisco 49ers on December 2, 2007. Rosario also returned two kickoffs for 39 yards (a 19.5 average).
In the Panthers\' 2008 season opener against the Chargers on September 7, Rosario overcame double coverage to catch a 14-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone as time expired, to give Carolina a 26-24 victory against the heavily favored San Diego Chargers. It is considered to be one of the most memorable catches in Carolina Panther history. When the game ended, Fox\'s final statistics leaderboard for the game mistakenly displayed the name of actress Rosario Dawson. He finished the 2008 season with 18 catches for 209 yards and 1 touchdown. He started 22 games for the Panthers over four seasons, but only 6 in 2010. He was felt to be expendable after the signing of free agent Jeremy Shockey in March 2011.
### Miami Dolphins {#miami_dolphins}
The Miami Dolphins signed Rosario on September 5, 2011. He was released on September 20.
### Denver Broncos {#denver_broncos}
Rosario was reunited with his former coach John Fox when he signed with the Denver Broncos in July 2011. He was released after the 2011 preseason due to the emergence of rookie tight ends Julius Thomas and Virgil Green. Rosario was re-signed by the Broncos on September 22, 2011.

# Diprenorphine
**Diprenorphine** (brand name **Revivon**; former developmental code name **M5050**), also known as **diprenorfin**, is a non-selective, high-affinity, weak partial agonist of the μ- (MOR), κ- (KOR), and δ-opioid receptor (DOR) (with equal affinity) which is used in veterinary medicine as an opioid antagonist. It is used to reverse the effects of super-potent opioid analgesics such as etorphine and carfentanil that are used for tranquilizing large animals. The drug is not approved for use in humans.
Diprenorphine is the strongest opioid antagonist that is commercially available (some 100 times more potent than nalorphine), and is used for reversing the effects of very strong opioids for which the binding affinity is so high that naloxone does not effectively or reliably reverse the narcotic effects. These super-potent opioids, with the single exception of buprenorphine (which has an improved safety-profile due to its partial agonism character), are not used in humans because the dose for a human is so small that it would be difficult to measure properly , so there is an excessive risk of overdose leading to fatal respiratory depression. However conventional opioid derivatives are not strong enough to rapidly tranquilize large animals, like elephants and rhinos, so drugs such as etorphine and carfentanil are available for this purpose.
Diprenorphine is considered to be the specific reversing agent/antagonist for etorphine and carfentanil, and is normally used to remobilise animals once veterinary procedures have been completed. Since diprenorphine also has partial agonistic properties of its own, it should not be used on humans if they are accidentally exposed to etorphine or carfentanil. Naloxone or naltrexone is the preferred human opioid receptor antagonist.
In theory, diprenorphine could also be used as an antidote for treating overdose of certain opioid derivatives which are used in humans, particularly buprenorphine for which the binding affinity is so high that naloxone does not reliably reverse the narcotic effects. However, diprenorphine is not generally available in hospitals; instead a vial of diprenorphine is supplied with etorphine or carfentanil specifically for reversing the effects of the drug, so the use of diprenorphine for treating a buprenorphine overdose is not usually carried out in practice.
Because diprenorphine is a weak partial agonist of the opioid receptors rather than a silent antagonist, it can produce some opioid effects in the absence of other opioids at sufficient doses. Moreover, due to partial agonism of the KOR, where it appears to possess significantly greater intrinsic activity relative to the MOR, diprenorphine can produce sedation as well as, in humans, hallucinations

# Dastgir
**Dastgir** (pronounced *dɑʂt-ģir*, `{{IPA|fa|ˈdɑst.ɡiːɾ}}`{=mediawiki}) from Persian, literally \'Holder of the Hand\') is a name common in South Asia and the Middle East. In Arabic, it is used as a first name and means \'helper\' or \'supporter\'. In Pashto and Persian, it means \'saint\' or \'the saint of saints\' and can be used as a title, a name, or an ethnic surname. The suffix *zâda* or *zâdeh* (Persian for \'son of\') is sometimes added in the Persian and Pashto variations to denote \'son or descendant of a saint\'.
It was popularly used to refer to one saint in particular from the region, Shaykh Abdul Qadir Gillani, founder of the Qadiri Sufi order. It is often said the term itself arose with him, since he had the title *al-Gauth al Azam* (the \'Supreme Helper\'), and the root of Dastgir literally denotes a helper or helping hand.
In Afghanistan and Pakistan, *Dastgir* is common amongst the Pashtuns. As a surname it is often mated to Ghulam or Amir as first names. *Ghulam Dastgir* meaning \'servant of the saint(s)\' and *Amir Dastgir* meaning \'command of the saints\' or \'commander of the saints\' (the latter just emphasizing the original meaning, \'saint of saints\') or simply \'princely saint\'. The former is most likely popular in South Asia due to the cultural importance that saints such as Sufis and other Islamic scholars and/or mystics had in society. Concordantly, *Dastgir* is usually encountered as an ethnic surname passed down through generations that had some link to a saint. Its use as a title or even first name (barring the Arabic version) has diminished with the cultural shift away from an age where saints were prominent. Its usage in Iran probably follows a similar history, since many of the Sufi saints of renown in the region were initially from Iran. In Punjab, Pir Dastgir and Ghaus ul Azam are synonymous with Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani and the name *Ghulam Dastgir* and *Ghulam Ghaus* in Punjabi Muslim\'s context means \'servant/follower of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani\', the reason for this is that most of Punjabi Muslim sufi saints belonged to the Qadri branch of Sufis

# Philippine passport
A **Philippine passport** (*Pasaporte ng Pilipinas*) is both a travel document and a primary national identity document issued to citizens of the Philippines. It is issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and Philippine diplomatic missions abroad, with certain exceptions.
The DFA began issuing maroon machine-readable passports on September 17, 2007, and biometric passports on August 11, 2009. Green colored cover non-electronic passports remained valid until they expired. Philippine passports are printed at the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) Production Unit plant in Malvar, Batangas.
## History
Prior to the Spaniards\' arrival in the Philippine islands, indigenous peoples have been travelling freely within the islands and to neighboring Asian states to facilitate trade and commerce, primarily in the form of seafaring. During the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, the Spaniards introduced a travel document to the Philippines called the *chapa*, or a writ of safety to go from one place to another, which the natives used from the 16th to 17th centuries.
Philippine passports were released after gaining independence from the United States in 1946. Passports were ordered to be printed in Filipino for the first time under President Diosdado Macapagal, to be subsequently implemented under his successor, Ferdinand Marcos. Currently, it is printed in Filipino with English translations.
With the adoption of the 1987 constitution, the power of issuing passports was transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the current Department of Foreign Affairs. The Philippine Passport Act of 1996 governs the issuance of Philippine passports and travel documents. Philippine passports are only issued to Filipino citizens, while travel documents (under Section 13) may be issued to citizens who have lost their passports overseas, as well as permanent residents who cannot obtain passports or travel documents from other countries.
On May 1, 1995, green covers were instituted on regular passports for the first time, and barcodes were inserted in passports in 2004. The new security-enhanced passport is a prerequisite to the issuance of new machine-readable passports which was first issued to the public on September 17, 2007. The Philippines used to be one of the few countries in the world that had not yet issue machine-readable regular passports although machine-readable passports for public officials have been issued since June 18, 2007.
On August 2, 2017, Republic Act 10928 was approved by President Rodrigo Duterte, which extends the validity of passport from 5 years to 10 years. Foreign Secretary Alan Cayetano signed the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the new Philippine Passport Act on October 27, 2017. The act was implemented on January 1, 2018.
### 'New Philippine Passport Act' {#new_philippine_passport_act}
On March 11, 2024, Marcos Jr. signed Republic Act No. 11983 better known as the "New Philippine Passport Act," repealing the Passport Act of 1996. The Department of Foreign Affairs is mandated under the law to establish and maintain an online application portal and Electronic one-stop shop to digitize passport applications and authorizes it to provide offsite and mobile passport services outside of the consular offices and foreign service posts. The new law requires setting up special lanes to ease application for senior citizens, overseas Filipino Worker, PWDs, pregnant women, minors aged 7 years old and below, single parents, and other exceptional cases.
### Machine-readable passports {#machine_readable_passports}
In 2006, the DFA and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas started a five-year passport modernization project designed to issue new Philippine machine-readable passports (MRP). However, an injunction was issued against the project by a lower court, only to be overturned by the Supreme Court and ordering the DFA and the BSP to continue the project.
The machine-readable passport is designed to prevent tampering through the use of a special features embedded in the passport cover, similar to other machine-readable passports. It also has more pages than the previous passport (44 pages instead of the previous 32) and processing times were expected to be accelerated.
Officials from the DFA had clarified that the older, green, non-MRP passports will expire as scheduled on their original expiration dates. However, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) requires all member states to issue machine-readable passports by April 2010, hence some countries could have had then denied entry to Filipinos who still only had the green, hand-written passports.
### Biometric passport {#biometric_passport}
In late July 2008, the DFA has announced plans and the possible implementation of a new Biometric Passport System for new passports. It is expected that the government will start issuing biometric passports by the end of 2009. On August 11, 2009, the first biometric passport was released for President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. The e-passport had various security features, including a hidden encoded image; an ultra-thin, holographic laminate; and a tamper-proof electronic microchip costing at around 950 pesos for the normal processing of 20 days or 1,200 pesos for the rush processing of 10 days.
As of July 2015, the Philippine passport is printed in the Asian Productivity Organization or APO Productions under the Presidential Communications Group. On August 15, 2016, the new generation e-passport was released by the Department of Foreign Affairs with advanced security features such as the upgraded microchip to capture the personal data of the applicant, invisible ultraviolet (UV) fluorescent ink and thread, and elaborate design when subject to UV light. Security inks were also used to print the passports to prevent forgery. These inks include intaglio, which are visible inks that have a distinct ridged feel and ultraviolet ink that appears when exposed to infrared lights. Other security features include watermarks, perforated passport numbering, embedded security fibers, among others. Aside from making the new e-passport tamper-proof, each leaf of the 44-page document depicts Philippine artifacts, cultural icons, historic places, renowned tourist destinations, and even lyrics of the national anthem in the pre-Hispanic Baybayin script used to write Tagalog.

## History
### Restrictions
With the declaration of martial law on September 23, 1972, travel restrictions were imposed on Philippine citizens. A letter of instruction restricted the issuance of passports to members of the Philippine diplomatic service, although this was relaxed in 1981 with the official lifting of martial law.
In 1983, there were orders from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not to issue any passports to the family of opposition senator Benigno Aquino Jr. Despite the government ban, Aquino was able to acquire one with the help of Rashid Lucman, a former congressman from Mindanao. The passport identified him as *Marciál Bonifacio*, an alias derived from \"*martial* law\" and Fort *Bonifacio*, where he was detained.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, passports were stamped with limitations prohibiting travel to South Africa (because of apartheid) and Lebanon (because of the civil war). Passports were previously stamped prohibiting travel to Iraq due to the ongoing violence and because of the kidnapping of Angelo dela Cruz in 2004. However, passports printed after July 1, 2011, no longer bear this stamp.

## Types
thumb\|upright=1.3\|Current editions of the Philippine biometric passport. From left to right: diplomatic, official, and regular. There are three types of Philippine passports issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs. These are currently designated by the colors **maroon** (regular), **red** (official), and **dark blue** (diplomatic).
### Regular (maroon) {#regular_maroon}
A regular passport is issued to any citizen of the Philippines applying for a Philippine passport. It is the most common type of passport issued and is used for all travel by Philippine citizens and non-official travel by Philippine government officials.
### Official (red) {#official_red}
An official passport is issued to members of the Philippine government for use on official business, as well as employees of Philippine diplomatic posts abroad who are not members of the diplomatic service. It is the second of two passports issued to the President and the Presidential family. As such, this passport does not extend the privilege of diplomatic immunity. Government officials are prohibited from using official passports for non-official business, and as such also have regular passports. This passport has a red cover. This passport has a validity of 6 months.
### Diplomatic (blue) {#diplomatic_blue}
A diplomatic passport is issued to members of the Philippine diplomatic service, members of the Cabinet, service attachés of other government agencies assigned to Philippine diplomatic posts abroad and Philippine delegates to international and regional organizations. It is the first of two passports issued to the President of the Philippines and the Presidential family. This passport has a dark blue cover and extends the privilege of diplomatic immunity to the bearer.
### Other
When two Philippine eagles were loaned to Singapore, the birds were issued maroon passports when they were transported out of the Philippines in June 2019. The passports were however not valid as a travel document and are merely symbolic to express a statement that the birds remain Philippine government property.
In addition to standard passports, the DFA also issues a green-colored refugee travel document, and the Maritime Industry Authority issues a dark blue Seafarer\'s Record Book (SRB) for licensed commercial sailors.

## Appearance
Philippine passports are maroon, with the coat of arms of the Philippines emblazoned in the center of the front cover.
### Front cover {#front_cover}
The word \"*PILIPINAS*\" is inscribed above the coat of arms, which now has hatchings to indicate the tinctures gules (red, for the right field) and azure (blue, for the left field). The word \"*PASAPORTE*\" is inscribed below, with the biometric passport symbol appearing beneath it.
Passports issued during the latter years of the Fourth Republic had the order reversed (strikingly similar to the United States passport), with \"*PASAPORTE*\" on top and \"*REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS*\" on the bottom. All passports issued since this period have the cover in Filipino.
A typical passport has 44 (previously 32 or 64) pages.
### Languages
Philippine passports are bilingual, with both issued text and information page data in Filipino followed by English translations. Brown passports once had all the Filipino text written with diacritics, but this was discontinued in the green and maroon passports. Pages 4--43 have, on one page per 2-page spread, (a) lines(s) of the national anthem, the *Lupang Hinirang*. The odd pages of pages 3--43 have a Baybayin text that says \"*Ang katuwiran ay nagpapadakila sa isang bayan*\" (\"Righteousness exalts a nation\") in reference to Proverbs 14:34 (`{{Script|Tglg|ᜀᜅ᜔ ᜃᜆᜓᜏᜒᜇᜈ᜔ ᜀᜌ᜔ ᜈᜄ᜔ᜉᜉᜇᜃᜒᜎ ᜐ ᜁᜐᜅ᜔ ᜊᜌᜈ᜔}}`{=mediawiki}).
### Identity Information page {#identity_information_page}
Philippine passports have different styles of data pages. Old brown passports have both a data and physical description page, with the picture located on the description page rather than the data page; these are separated by the passport note. Green passports issued before 2004 have the data page on the inner cover followed by the passport note page. Passports issued after 2004 have the passport note and data pages reversed, with the passport note on the inner cover page.
The data page contains the following information: `{{colbegin}}`{=mediawiki}
- Passport type (*P*)
- Country code (*PHL*)
- Passport number
- Passport numbers vary with each type of passport. Brown passports have a letter followed by six numbers, while green passports issued before 2005 have two letters followed by six numbers. Passports issued after 2005 (including machine-readable and biometric passports issued prior to August 15, 2016) have two letters followed by seven numbers. Passports issued after August 15, 2016, have a letter followed by seven numbers, which is then followed by another letter.
- Names
- A bearer\'s last name goes first, followed by the first names and middle name (mother\'s maiden last name)
- Nationality (*Filipino*)
- Date of birth (written in DD-MMM-YYYY date format with months abbreviated)
- Place of birth
- Sex (*M* or *F*)
- Date of issue
- Date of expiry
- A Philippine passport is valid for ten years for adults and five years for minors from the date of issue. Passports issued from 1981 to 1986 were valid for two years and may be extended for another two years. Passports issued before January 1, 2018, were valid for five years.
- Issuing authority
- Valid issuing authorities for Philippine passports include the main office of the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila, branch offices of the DFA located in certain cities around the Philippines, and Philippine embassies and consulates.
- PhilSys Number
- Signature of bearer (for biometric passports)
With new maroon-covered passports, the passport data page ends with the Machine Readable Zone. This zone is absent in green-covered passports.
### Passport note {#passport_note}
Passports contain a note from the issuing state that is addressed to the authorities of all other states, identifying the bearer as a citizen of that state and requesting that he or she be allowed to pass and be treated according to international norms. The note is first written in Filipino followed by the English translation:
in Filipino:
:
: *\"Ang Pamahalaan ng Republika ng Pilipinas ay humihiling sa lahat na kinauukulan na pahintulutan ang pinagkalooban nito, isang mamamayan ng Pilipinas, na makaraan nang malaya at walang sagabal, at kung kailangan, ay pag-ukulan siya ng lahat ng tulong at proteksyon ayon sa batas.\"*
in English:
:
: *\"The Government of the Republic of the Philippines requests all concerned to permit the bearer, a citizen of the Philippines, to pass safely and freely and in case of need to give him/her all lawful aid and protection.\"*
At the last page (on page 44) are the emergency contact details, and a warning about E-Passport
in Filipino:
:
: *\"Ang pasaporteng ito ay naglalaman ng sensitibong*electronics*. Huwag tupiin, butasan, o ilantad sa labis na init o lamig ang pasaporteng ito. Ingatan din na huwag mabasa.\"*
in English:
:
: *\"This passport contains sensitive electronics. Do not bend, perforate, or expose this passport to extreme temperature, or excess moisture.\"*

## Appearance
### Signature field {#signature_field}
A Philippine passport is invalid if the passport is not signed, and normally the bearer affixes his/her signature on the signature field, whose position has varied with various incarnations of Philippine passports. Persons too young to sign a passport previously may have a parent or legal guardian sign the passport on their behalf, although this has since been prohibited.
Brown passports originally contained the signature field below the data page at the passport\'s inner cover. When green passports began being issued in 1995, a field where the bearer must sign the passport appeared below the passport note.
Machine-readable passports originally had no signature field, a source of much controversy as Filipinos applying for foreign visas, whether for travel or employment, have either been requested to get a copy of their passport application form to verify their signature, or denied altogether. Newer versions of this passport eventually had the signature field at the back cover, below the important reminders for Philippine passport holders, while older versions have the field stamped on.
Biometric passports from August 2009 to August 2016, are the only Philippine passports which do not require the physical signature of the bearer, as an image of the bearer\'s signature is printed onto the passport data page. Physical signatures are once again required for biometric passports issued after August 15, 2016, with the signature field on page 3.
## Visa requirements {#visa_requirements}
thumbnail\|center\|upright=3.2\|`{{center|Countries and territories with visa-free entries or visas on arrival for holders of regular Philippine passports}}`{=mediawiki} *Main article: Visa requirements for Filipino citizens* As of January 9, 2024, Philippine citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 69 countries and territories, ranking the Philippine passport 74th in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley Passport Index.
From July 9, 2023, provided that they were issued a Canadian visa within the last 10 years (i.e., even if it already expired) or is a holder of valid non-immigrant US visa, and flying to Canada, holders of this passport can travel to and stay visa-free in Canada for up to 6 months - only needing to apply for an ETA beforehand. Philippine travelers must apply for a visa if they are arriving in Canada through a different transportation method.

# Vladimir Vakhmistrov
**Vladimir Sergeyevich Vakhmistrov** (Russian: Владимир Сергеевич Вахмистров) (1897--1972) was a Soviet aviation engineer who is known for creating a series of parasite aircraft projects under the common name Zveno.
## `{{anchor|Biography}}`{=mediawiki}Life and career {#life_and_career}
Vakhmistrov was born on June 27, 1897, in Moscow; his father was an office clerk. He graduated from the Moscow *Realschule* (реальное училище) in 1915. At the outbreak of the First World War, Vakhmistrov volunteered for the army and was sent to Mikhailovsky Artillery School. He was sent to the front lines in 1916 with the rank of ensign of artillery, but was soon transferred to the Imperial Russian Air Service as a pilot-observer. During the Russian Civil War, Vakhmistrov joined the Red Air Force and fought on the Volga and in Turkestan.
He resumed his studies in 1921, first at Turkestan University and then at the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy. Vakhmistrov built gliders at the academy: the training AVF-8 \"Condor\" (1924), the AVF-22 Serpent Horynych (1925, with M. K. Tikhonravov), and Gamayun and Skif (1928, with Tikhonravov and A. A. Dubrovin). In the glider Skif during the sixth All-Union gliding competition (October 6--23, 1929, in Koktebel), pilot A. B. Yumashev set an all-Union flight altitude record for gliders of 1520 m.
From February to April 1926, Vakhmistrov and pilot M. M. Gromov tested the reconnaissance aircraft R-3 (ANT-3): the first Soviet all-metal aircraft, and the first aircraft designed by A. N. Tupolev. Aircraft of this type were subsequently used against the Basmachi movement.
He graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1930, and worked at the Air Force Research Institute. Between 1931 and 1940, Vakhmistrov developed the Vakhmistrov family of composite aircraft: a TB-3 4AM-34FRN heavy bomber with I-16 fighters on a bomb suspension. This concept was the combination of several aircraft, linked rigidly (not in tow) and flying together to:
- Deliver fighter planes beyond their flight range
- Increase the range of a heavy escort aircraft
- Use larger bombs than the fighter planes are capable of carrying
- Facilitate the take-off of an overloaded aircraft with an auxiliary aircraft.
The draft of the first version of the aircraft link, later named Zveno-1 and consisting of a TB-1 bomber and two I-4 fighters, was submitted by Red Army UVVS`{{clarify|date=July 2021|reason=What does this acronym mean?}}`{=mediawiki} head I. I. Alksnis in June 1931 and approved by Vakhmistrov. On December 3 of that year, Vakhmistrov (as a second pilot of the bomber) participated in the first flight tests of Link-1: a TB-1 and two I-4s. This was followed by other composite aircraft between 1932 and 1939, including five fighters. Two fighters remained optimal; in the Link TB-3 SPB composite dive bomber, two I-16s carried two FAB-250 bombs.
Vakhmistrov\'s links were not accepted for service; in accordance with instructions from the Black Sea Fleet Air Force, however, three composite aircraft were equipped with the TB-3 SPB scheme for the bombing of Constanța and Ploiești in July 1941. A triple SPB bombed the Constanța region without losses on July 26, followed by attacks on the Cernavodsky bridge on August 10 and 13. After the successful implementation of the TB-3 SPB project, Vakhmistrov proposed several advanced Link projects: the GTS flying boat, the TB-7 heavy bomber and the MTB-2 (ANT-44) heavy flying boat; hanging fighter planes would have been the I-15bis, I-16, I-180, LaGG-3, and MiG-3.
At the end of 1937, Vakhmistrov\'s elder brother was arrested; in March 1938, Vakhmistrov was demoted from chief designer to head of the KB-29 design team. He died in 1972, and is buried in Moscow\'s Vagankovo Cemetery

# Gloriette
thumb\|upright=1.8\|The Gloriette in the Schönbrunn Palace Garden, Vienna, Austria A **gloriette** (from the 12th-century French *gloire* meaning \"little room\") is a building in a garden erected on a site that is elevated with respect to the surroundings. The structural execution and shape can vary greatly, often in the form of a pavilion or tempietto, more or less open on the sides.
## Schönbrunn Palace garden gloriette {#schönbrunn_palace_garden_gloriette}
The largest and probably best-known gloriette is in the Schönbrunn Palace garden in Vienna. Built in 1775 as the last building constructed in the garden according to the plans of Austrian imperial architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg as a \"temple of renown\" to serve as both a focal point and a lookout point for the garden, it was used as a dining hall and festival hall as well as a breakfast room for emperor Franz Joseph I. The dining hall, which was used until the end of the monarchy, today has a café in it, and on the roof an observation platform overlooks Vienna. The gloriette\'s decorative sculptures were made by the famous Salzburg sculptor Johann Baptist von Hagenauer. The gloriette was destroyed in the Second World War, but had already been restored by 1947, and was restored again in 1995, when its central part was closed with glass panes and converted to a café.
The gloriette is dedicated as a *Monument to Just War*, that which leads to peace. With the succession to the throne of Maria Theresa came first the War of the Austrian Succession (1740--1748) and later the Seven Years\' War (1756--1763).
thumb\|upright=1.5\|Inscription on the Gloriette in Vienna The front face bears the following inscription:
IOSEPHO II. AVGVSTO ET MARIA THERESIA AVGVSTA IMPERANTIB. ERECT. CIƆIƆCCLXXV.
(\"Erected under the reign of Emperor Joseph II and Empress Maria Theresa, 1775.\")
An essential part of the inscription is the addition of AVGVSTO and AVGVSTA, used as a link to the first Roman emperor and state god AVGVSTVS by his heirs and successors as finally the Habsburgs in their functions as emperors of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. The year 1775 is written in Roman numerals following the *apostrophus* notation.
The gloriette served as the sixth \'Pit Stop\' on *The Amazing Race 23*.
## Other architectural gloriettes {#other_architectural_gloriettes}
Other buildings designated \"gloriettes\" are, for example,
- in the garden of Schloss Esterházy in Eisenstadt (Burgenland, Austria);
- in the Park von Muskau (Germany);
- in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel (Germany);
- in Trogir (Croatia);
- in Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic);
- Maiers-Gloriette, Fertőboz (Hungary);
- in the garden of the Brukenthal Palace in Sibiu (Romania);
- in the garden of Villa Olmo in Como (Italy);
- in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris (France);
- in Portmeirion (North Wales);
- in Leeds Castle (Kent);
- in Parque de María Luisa (Seville) there are numerous structures;
- and in Corfe Castle (Dorset).
## Non-architectural gloriettes {#non_architectural_gloriettes}
The word \"gloriette\" can also refer to a large birdcage, similar in form to the architectural gloriette, often made out of wrought iron or, more rarely, wood. In the garden of the Priory of Notre-Dame d\'Orsan, many wood gloriettes decorate and overshadow the alleys. Climbing plants are often associated with this type of construction. Similarly, a modern-day wood and metal folly called [Gloriette-R1](https://www.r1.house) can be found on Mulholland Hwy, in front of the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles

# Big Dipper (Pleasure Beach Resort)
**Big Dipper** is a wooden out and back roller coaster at Pleasure Beach Resort, Blackpool, England. Originally built in 1923, it was extended in 1936 and was designated as a Grade II listed building on 19 April 2017. It operates with two trains, each containing three four-bench cars, seating two people per bench. After Scenic Railway, Big Dipper is the second-oldest in-use rollercoaster in Britain. The ride has 1 lapbar per row.
## History
### Construction and expansion {#construction_and_expansion}
The coaster was first built in 1923 by John Miller, and opened on the 23 August. It was extended in 1936 by American engineer Charles Paige (whose work at the Pleasure Beach is all that survives of the 13 wooden coasters he is known to have built) with arches over the south entrance of the park and additional drops. British architect Joseph Emberton designed the ride station.
### Refurbishment
On 13 February 2010, Big Dipper reopened after months of refurbishment following an incident in August 2009. The 1935 station was upgraded in a sympathetic manner: the track was refurbished, a new fountain was added and the trains were repaired and repainted dark blue with new exterior panels with an arrow design similar to the 1990s design. The grab rails were replaced in 2014.
## Ride experience {#ride_experience}
### Layout
Big Dipper is located at South Shore and west of the southern half of Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It is oriented north-to-south, rises to a height of 65 feet and spans 3,300 feet in length. One cycle of the ride takes approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
## Characteristics
### Manufacturer
Big Dipper was designed by John Miller at Krug Park, Nebraska in 1918 and built by William H. Strickler and Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc. It cost £25,000 to construct.
### Trains
Big Dipper operates two seating trains. Each train has three cars that seat two passengers across four rows, allowing a maximum capacity of 24 people per train.
### Track
The track is 3,300 feet long and the lift is approximately 65 feet high. Big Dipper was the first of its generation to use new undertrack and side friction wheels to allow a steeper and faster design.
## Incidents
- On 26 June 1975, part of the main lift hill and first drop were severely damaged by fire.
- On 11 August 2009, two trains carrying a total of 32 guests collided. 21 riders required hospital treatment for injuries ranging from whiplash and broken noses to cuts and bruises.
- On 5 June 2010, part of a train derailed. There were no injuries and the ride resumed operations a short time later.
## Records
In August 1998, Richard Rodriguez set a world record by riding Big Dipper for over 1,000 hours. There is a plaque commemorating this event in the ride\'s station. Although he doubled this mark two years later to 2,000 hours, Guinness World Records nullified the achievements by altering the rules in 2007, and Rodriguez\'s new record was set on Big One and Big Dipper and stands at 405 hours 40 minutes.
## In popular culture {#in_popular_culture}
Big Dipper is referenced in the Jethro Tull song \"Big Dipper\", a track from the 1976 album Too Old to Rock \'n\' Roll: Too Young to Die!.
In the 1964 episode \"Dangerous Journey\" of the second series of Doctor Who, where the crew of the Tardis had been shrunken to the size of ants, the character Barbara says that a tumultuous journey inside of a briefcase was \"worse than the Big Dipper\".

# Best Female Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award
The **Best Female Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award** is an annual award honoring the achievements of a female individual from the community of disabled sports. Established with the aid of disability advocate and former United States Paralympic soccer player Eli Wolff, the accolade\'s trophy, designed by sculptor Lawrence Nowlan, is presented to the disabled sportswomen adjudged to be the best at the annual ESPY Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The Best Female Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award was first bestowed as part of the ESPY Awards in 2005 after the non-gender specific Best Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award was presented the previous three years (all won by sportsmen). Balloting for the award is undertaken by fans over the Internet from between three and five choices selected by the ESPN Select Nominating Committee, which is composed of a panel of experts. It is conferred in July to reflect performance and achievement over the preceding twelve months.
The inaugural winner of the Best Female Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award at the 2005 ceremony was an American swimmer named Erin Popovich, who is affected by achondroplasia. She won seven gold medals at the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens. She is one of three people to have won the Best Female Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award more than once, winning again at the 2009 awards. Fellow swimmer Jessica Long has the most victories of any other sportswoman, collecting the award four times at the 2007, 2012, 2013 and 2022 ESPY Awards, with one further nomination at the 2009 ESPY Awards, while cross-country skier Oksana Masters has been nominated the most times (eight) without winning. Swimmers have been successful at the awards with nine victories and 13 nominations, followed by paratriathles with three wins and nine nominations. It was not awarded in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The incumbent holder is American paralympic swimmer Jessica Long after being announced as the winner at the 2022 ESPY Awards

# Richard Rawdon Stawell
**Sir Richard Rawdon Stawell** KBE, (14 March 1864 -- 18 April 1935) was an Australian medical doctor and the President of the Victorian branch of the British Medical Association.
## Early life {#early_life}
Stawell was born at Kew, Melbourne, Victoria, the sixth son of Sir William Stawell, Chief Justice of Victoria and his wife, Mary Francis Elizabeth *née* Greene. Stawell was sent to England to be educated at Marlborough school, but returned to Australia due to health issues and went to Hawthorn Grammar School under Professor Irving. He then went to Trinity College at the University of Melbourne and graduated M.B., B.S. in 1888, with the scholarship in medicine at the final examination, and M.D. in 1890. Stawell did post-graduate work from 1890 to 1892 in bacteriology, biochemistry and physiology at the National Hospital for Diseases of the Nervous System, Queen\'s Square, and the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children. After completing the Diploma of Public Health (London) in 1891, he did further research at Tübingen, Germany, and visited clinics in the United States of America before returning home.
## Career
Stawell returned to Australia in 1893 and began to practise at Melbourne; earlier hopes of a private income faded with the bank crash. Stawell was appointed a member of the honorary medical staff of the Children\'s hospital 1893--1914 and became recognized as a specialist in children\'s diseases. From 1894 to 1900 he was honorary co-editor of the *Australian Medical Journal*, and from 1895 to 1906 was on the committee of the Medical Society of Victoria. He worked actively for the amalgamation of that society with the Victorian branch of the British Medical Association. From 1902 to 1924 Stawell was a member of the honorary medical staff of the Melbourne hospital. The clinical teaching before his appointment was not satisfactory, and it was largely due to Stawell\'s influence and example that an immense improvement took place. He was an ideal teacher of medicine, and it has been said of him that `{{cquote|to attend Dr Stawell's clinics was the privilege of a lifetime. The scientific grounding received in the physical signs of the chest and in neurological diseases was one never to be forgotten.}}`{=mediawiki}
Stawell was elected a vice-president of the Victorian branch of the British Medical Association in 1908 and became president in 1910. He worked successfully for the amalgamation of the two Australian medical journals, the *Australian Medical Gazette* (NSW) and the *Australian Medical Journal* (Victoria), and in 1914 the two were absorbed in the new weekly journal, the *Medical Journal of Australia*. in World War I, Stawell served as Lieutenant-Colonel in charge of the medical section with the 3rd Australian General Hospital at the front in 1915 but was brought back to Australia in 1916 to continue his clinical teaching and other important home service work. Stawell became a physician to in-patients at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in 1919 and was also a member of the medical advisory committee to the Repatriation department of the Commonwealth. In the following year he was president of the medical section at the Australian medical congress at Brisbane. He resigned the position of physician to in-patients at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in 1921 and became a consulting physician to the hospital. He had joined the committee of the hospital in 1905 and in 1928 was elected president; he did important work for many years as chairman of the house committee.
## Late life {#late_life}
In 1930 Stawell was first president of the Association of Physicians in Australasia and delivered the Halford oration at Canberra in November of that year. He was made vice-president at the centenary meeting of the British Medical Association in 1932. He was to have been president at the annual meeting of the British Medical Association at Melbourne in September 1935 but died at Melbourne on 18 April 1935. Stawell married Evelyn Myrrhee Connolly, daughter of H. J. Connolly, on 12 August 1908 who survived him with a son and two daughters. Stawell was created K.B.E. in June 1929. In 1933 his work for the profession was recognized by the founding of the Sir Richard Stawell Oration.
Stawell was tall and slightly built and an excellent tennis player in his youth and represented Victoria in intercolonial tennis. In later years he was a keen golfer and fly-fisher. He was president of the Melbourne Club in 1920. His quiet, slightly austere manner did not at first suggest his great personal charm, but among his intimates he could let his inner sense of fun have full play or talk with distinction on music or art. He was a good public speaker and an excellent committee-man. An authority on children\'s and nervous diseases, a great clinical instructor and possibly the ablest physician in the history of Australian medicine he was honoured and loved by the whole profession. The great immunologist Sir Macfarlane Burnet found him \'a man of much wisdom and immense charm\', but with \'a waspish intolerance of stupidity\'

It is conferred in July to reflect performance and achievement over the preceding twelve months.
The inaugural winner of the Best Male Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award in 2005 was Paralympic track and field competitor Marlon Shirley, who won two medals at the 2004 Summer Paralympics and was the first para-athlete to go below eleven seconds in the men\'s 100-meter category with a time of 10.97 seconds. In 2015, South African wheelchair racer Krige Schabort was selected as the recipient of the award. `{{As of|2018}}`{=mediawiki}, he is the only athlete born outside of the United States to have won the accolade, though three additional foreign sportsmen have earned nominations. Track and field athletes have won more awards than any other sport with four with three triathlon winners and two winners each coming in sledge hockey, mixed martial arts, and wrestling. It was not awarded in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The most recent winner of the award was American para-swimmer Brad Snyder in 2022

# Isothermal transformation diagram
**Isothermal transformation diagrams** (also known as **time-temperature-transformation** (**TTT**) **diagrams**) are plots of temperature versus time (usually on a logarithmic scale). They are generated from percentage transformation-vs time measurements, and are useful for understanding the transformations of an alloy steel at elevated temperatures.
An isothermal transformation diagram is only valid for one specific composition of material, and only if the temperature is held constant during the transformation, and strictly with rapid cooling to that temperature. Though usually used to represent transformation kinetics for steels, they also can be used to describe the kinetics of crystallization in ceramic or other materials. Time-temperature-precipitation diagrams and time-temperature-embrittlement diagrams have also been used to represent kinetic changes in steels.
**Isothermal transformation** (**IT**) diagram or the C-curve is associated with mechanical properties, microconstituents/microstructures, and heat treatments in carbon steels. Diffusional transformations like austenite transforming to a cementite and ferrite mixture can be explained using the sigmoidal curve; for example the beginning of pearlitic transformation is represented by the pearlite start (P~s~) curve. This transformation is complete at P~f~ curve. Nucleation requires an incubation time. The rate of nucleation increases and the rate of microconstituent growth decreases as the temperature decreases from the liquidus temperature reaching a maximum at the bay or nose of the curve. Thereafter, the decrease in diffusion rate due to low temperature offsets the effect of increased driving force due to greater difference in free energy. As a result of the transformation, the microconstituents, pearlite and bainite, form; pearlite forms at higher temperatures and bainite at lower.
Austenite is slightly undercooled when quenched below Eutectoid temperature. When given more time, stable microconstituents can form: ferrite and cementite. Coarse pearlite is produced when atoms diffuse rapidly after phases that form pearlite nucleate. This transformation is complete at the pearlite finish time (P~f~).
However, greater undercooling by rapid quenching results in formation of martensite or bainite instead of pearlite. This is possible provided the cooling rate is such that the cooling curve intersects the martensite start temperature or the bainite start curve before intersecting the P~s~curve. The martensite transformation being a diffusionless shear transformation is represented by a straight line to signify the martensite start temperature

# The Maid of Honour
***The Maid of Honour*** is a Jacobean era stage play, a tragicomedy written by Philip Massinger, first published in 1632. It may be Massinger\'s earliest extant solo work.
## Performance
Firm data on the play\'s date of authorship and initial theatrical production have not survived; scholars estimate a date in the early 1620s, perhaps 1621--23. The title page of the earliest edition states that the play was acted by Queen Henrietta\'s Men at the Cockpit Theatre---though that company did not exist under that name prior to 1625. The title page may refer to performances in the 1625--32 period rather than the work\'s debut.
John Philip Kemble, an admirer of Massinger\'s dramas, staged an adaptation of the play called *Camiola, or The Maid of Honour,* at Drury Lane in 1785. It starred his sister Sarah Siddons; but it was not a success, and lasted only three performances.
## Publication
The 1632 quarto, published by the bookseller Robert Allot, bore a commendatory poem by Massinger\'s friend Sir Aston Cockayne, which indicates that the publication of *The Maid of Honour* followed that of *The Emperor of the East* in the same year. The quarto bears Massinger\'s dedication of the play to two of his patrons, Sir Francis Foljambe, 1st Baronet and Sir Thomas Bland, 1st Baronet, in gratitude for their \"frequent courtesies and favours.\" A second quarto appeared in 1638.
## Synopsis
The play is set in Palermo and Siena in Italy. The court of King Roberto of Sicily receives an ambassador from Roberto\'s ally Ferdinand, the duke of Urbino. Ferdinand has launched a military assault on the duchy of Siena, because the duchess, Aurelia, has refused his proposal of marriage. Ferdinand and his forces have taken Siena, but now face a vigorous counterattack, led by the general Gonzaga, a member of the Knights of Malta. Ferdinand has sent an appeal to his ally Roberto for help. Roberto, however, responds that the alliance between Sicily and Urbino is purely defensive in nature---the two have promised to come to each other\'s aid if attacked. The alliance does not cover aggressive warfare; and on that basis Roberto refuses to send any troops.
The King\'s sensible decision is protested by his \"natural\" (illegitimate) half-brother Bertoldo, another Knight of Malta. Bertoldo is a fiery character who has his own following among the kingdom\'s younger nobility and gentry, and he criticises his brother\'s caution and passivity. Roberto allows Bertoldo to lead a contingent of volunteers to Ferdinand\'s assistance---as long as it is understood by all concerned that their mission is unofficial and will receive no direct support from the Sicilian monarch. This is Roberto\'s way of ridding his kingdom of troublesome malcontents, especially Bertoldo.
The play\'s second scene introduces Camiola, the title character. Her \"beauty, youth, and fortune\" make her the target of several suitors, including: Signior Sylli, a ridiculously vain \"self-lover;\" Fulgentio, the corrupt and egomaniacal favourite of the king; Adorni, a retainer of Camiola\'s late father; and Bertoldo himself. Bertoldo is the man Camiola loves; but her high principles lead her to reject his suit. (They could only marry if Bertoldo obtained a dispensation from his vows as a member of a knightly monastic order---a course of action Camiola cannot approve.) After a touching farewell, Bertoldo leads his followers off to war.
The situation in Siena has gone badly for Ferdinand. Gonzaga\'s army is starving out the forces of Urbino, and can take the city at any time. His captains are eager for plunder, but the capable Gonzaga delays the final assault, since he expects a counter-attack. His expectation is fulfilled when Bertoldo and his forces arrive; but Gonzaga\'s troops have no trouble in defeating the new arrivals. (Many of Bertoldo\'s followers are effete courtiers inexperienced in combat---their antics provide some of the play\'s comedy.) The courtiers are ransomed from prison for two thousand crowns apiece; but Gonzaga is incensed that a member of his order has led the opposition, and sets Bertoldo\'s ransom at fifty thousand crowns. Roberto not only refuses to pay the ransom, but forbids any of his subjects to pay it either.
At home in Palermo, Camiola is oppressed by the arrogant attentions of Fulgentio. She refuses him, and when he slanders her in revenge, she protests to the King, leading to the favourite\'s disgrace. Bertoldo languishes in chains in a dungeon---but he is redeemed when Camiola pays his ransom. Roberto has decreed that no *man* among his subjects pay for Bertoldo\'s freedom; but Camiola is not a man. Bertoldo\'s difficulties have worked a change on Camiola\'s resolution. Her ransom comes with a price: Bertoldo signs a marriage contract to attain his freedom.
The ransom becomes moot, however, once Aurelia, the duchess of Siena, catches sight of Bertoldo. She falls in love with him instantly, and orders the ransom returned, much to Gonzaga\'s displeasure. The pair travel to Palermo, where the story comes to its climax. Camiola challenges the intended marriage of Bertoldo and Aurelia. But then she surprises everyone by rejecting Bertoldo and entering a nunnery; she distributes her fortune to worthy causes and asks Roberto to forgive Fulgentio and restore him to his place.
The play\'s overt comedy comes from several directions---Signior Sylli most notably, but also Fulgentio, the effete courtiers Antonio and Gasparo, and the soldiers of Gonzaga\'s army.
## Dramatic analysis {#dramatic_analysis}
The play has been called \"an improbable and escapist drama\" comparable to Beaumont and Fletcher\'s *A King and No King* and other plays of its period. Other critics, though, have seen in the play the \"un-Fletcherian moral earnestness\" typical of Massinger. It has been argued that a passage in *The Maid of Honour* served as a source for \"The Definition of Love,\" one of Andrew Marvell\'s most famous poems

**Richard B. Bernstein** (May 24, 1956 -- June 26, 2023) was an American constitutional historian, a distinguished adjunct professor of law at New York Law School, and lecturer in law and political science (after three years, 2011--2014, as adjunct professor of political science and history) at the City College of New York\'s Skadden, Arps Honors Program in Legal Studies in its Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership.
## Life
Richard Bernstein was the oldest son of Fred Bernstein (1922--2001) and Marilyn Bernstein (née Berman, 1927--2016); his siblings are the artist Linda A. Bernstein (1958--2004) and the engineer, technology specialist, musician, and expert on BMW Steven J. Bernstein (born 1962). He was educated in the New York City public schools, graduating from Stuyvesant High School in 1973. He attended Amherst College, where he was graduated with a B.A. *magna cum laude* in 1977 in American Studies. While at Amherst, he was a research assistant to Henry Steele Commager. He graduated from Harvard Law School with a J.D. in November 1980.
After three years practicing law, Bernstein left the legal profession to return to the study of history, doing graduate work at New York University. From 1983 he has been a member of the New York University Legal History Colloquium, and he has been active in the writing of legal and constitutional history and in activities to promote the historical profession.
From 1984 to 1987 he was research curator for the Constitution Bicentennial Project of The New York Public Library, working with Kym S. Rice under the supervision of Richard B. Morris, Gouverneur Morris Professor of History Emeritus at Columbia University. Among the products of this project was Bernstein\'s first book, *Are We to Be a Nation? The Making of the Constitution*, published by Harvard University Press. From 1987 to 1990 Bernstein was historian on the staff of the New York City Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, and from 1989 to 1990 he was research director of the New York State Commission on the Bicentennial of the Constitution.
In the spring of 1988 Bernstein was a visiting part-time lecturer in history at the Newark, New Jersey campus of Rutgers University. In 1991, he was named an adjunct assistant professor of law at New York Law School, where he has taught courses on American legal history and law and literature through 2014. In 2007 he was named distinguished adjunct professor of law. In 1997--1998 he also was the Daniel M. Lyons Visiting Professor of History at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York.
From 1997 to 2004 Bernstein was co-editor of book reviews for H-LAW, the listserv co-sponsored by H-NET (Humanities and Social Sciences Network On-Line) and the American Society for Legal History. He was also a member of H-LAW\'s editorial board. For three years he served on the editorial board of *Law and Social Inquiry*, the journal of the American Bar Foundation. In 2004 he was elected to the board of directors of the American Society for Legal History for a three-year term (2004--2007); in 2011, he was elected for a second term as a director of the society, which expired in 2014.
In the fall semester of 2011, Bernstein joined the Skadden, Arps Honors Program in Legal Studies at the City College of New York as an adjunct professor of political science. He taught American Constitutional Development, Early American Political Development, American history, the American judiciary, the American presidency, and African American Political Theory.
Beginning in the fall 2015 semester, he was named a full-time lecturer in law and political science teaching classes like \"The Presidency\".
In November 2002, in addition to his scholarly activities, Bernstein became director of online operations at Heights Books, Inc., a used-bookstore in Brooklyn, until the business closed at the end of February 2011.
Bernstein died in New York City on June 26, 2023, at the age of 67.

## Scholarship
Among the products of the New York Public Library\'s Constitution Bicentennial Project was Bernstein\'s first book, *Are We to Be a Nation? The Making of the Constitution*, published by Harvard University Press. Following *Are We to Be a Nation?*, Bernstein published *Amending America: If We Love the Constitution So Much, Why Do We Keep Trying to Change It?*, a history of the U.S. Constitution\'s amending process and the successful and unsuccessful attempts to amend the Constitution from 1789 through the early 1990s; *Thomas Jefferson and Bolling v. Bolling: Law and the Legal Profession in Pre-Revolutionary America*, coedited with Barbara Wilcie Kern and Bernard Schwartz (the full text, transcribed with scholarly annotations, of the pleadings and arguments of a complicated 1770 lawsuit about wills and bequests that pitted George Wythe against Thomas Jefferson); and *Thomas Jefferson*, published in 2003. Gordon S. Wood, reviewing Bernstein\'s *Thomas Jefferson* for The New York Times Book Review, called the book \"the best short biography of Jefferson ever written.\"
Bernstein also co-edited several books with Professor Stephen L. Schechter of Russell Sage College, including *Well Begun: Chronicles of the Early National Period* (1989), *New York and the Union: Contributions to the American Constitution Experience* (1990), *New York and the Bicentennial* (1990), and *Contexts of the Bill of Rights* (1990). *Roots of the Republic: American Founding Documents Interpreted*, coedited with Schechter and Donald S. Lutz of the University of Houston, also appeared in 1990.
Bernstein published *The Founding Fathers Reconsidered* (Oxford University Press, 2009) in 2009, which on February 19, 2010, was named one of three finalists for the 2010 George Washington Book Prize sponsored by Washington College in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and George Washington\'s Mount Vernon. In 2015, he published *The Founding Fathers: A Very Short Introduction* (Oxford University Press, 2015). In 2016 he published the edited volume *An Expression of the American Mind: Selected Writings of Thomas Jefferson* (Folio Society). His books-in-progress include a concise life of John Adams modeled on his 2003 biography of Thomas Jefferson; a study of Jefferson in Oxford\'s *Very Short Introduction* series; a study of the First Congress as an experiment in government; and an examination of the place of scientific ideas and technological developments in American constitutional history

# James Neil Hollingworth
**James Neil Hollingworth** (1933--1996) was a beatnik, hippie, writer, paraplegic, and former manager of the psychedelic folk rock bands Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Ace of Cups. After he suffered disabling injuries in a car crash near Muir Beach, California in 1967, the management of both bands were assumed by Ron Polte.
He wrote under the pseudonym Ambrose Hollingworth Redmoon.
Larry Fink\'s 2014 book, *The Beats*, with text by Robert Cordier (1933-2020), contains numerous photos of Hollingworth from 1959.
A well-known aphorism was written by Hollingworth in 1991:
> \"I find such expressions as \'peaceful warrior\' offensive, trivializing, and insulting. \'Peaceful warrior\' is far more than a contradiction in terms. The function of a warrior is to eliminate an exterior enemy presence. Cowardice is a serious vice. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than one\'s fear. The timid presume it is lack of fear that allows the brave to act when the timid do not. But to take action when one is not afraid is easy. To refrain when afraid is also easy. To take action regardless of fear is brave.\"
Ambrose was the founder or co-founder of the Six-Day School located high on Mount Shasta, a mountain top in Siskiyou County, California. It was a school that prepared students for survival in the midst of Armageddon through map and compass reading, survival in the wilderness, and occult studies. Students lived in tepees and worked by tending the orchards and gardens. The property was previously called Top of the World Ranch

# Best Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award
The **Best Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award** (sometimes called the **Outstanding Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award**) is an annual award honoring the achievements of an athlete from the world of disabled sports. It was first presented as part of the ESPY Awards at the 2002 edition as part of the ceremony\'s tenth anniversary of its establishment. The Best Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award trophy, designed by sculptor Lawrence Nowlan, was presented to the disabled sportsperson adjudged to be the best at the annual ESPY Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. For the 2004 ceremony, the winner was chosen by online voting through choices selected by the ESPN Select Nominating Committee. Before that, determination of the winners was made by an panel of experts. Through the 2001 iteration of the ESPY Awards, ceremonies were conducted in February of each year to honor achievements over the previous calendar year; awards presented thereafter are conferred in July and reflect performance from the June previous.
The inaugural winner of the Best Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award at the 2002 edition was mountain climber Erik Weihenmayer who has a total visual impairment and he became the first blind person to reach the summit of Mount Everest in May 2001. He is one of three people to have won the award during its three-year history; sprinter Marlon Shirley won the accolade at the 2003 ceremony for becoming the first amputee in history to set a time below eleven seconds in the men\'s 100 metres at the Utah Summer Games, and Kyle Maynard was voted the winner of the award in the 2004 iteration because of his strong form in freestyle wrestling in high school despite being born with congenital amputation that resulted in the shortening of all his limbs. The Best Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award was discontinued and bifurcated by gender in 2005 to establish the Best Male Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award and the Best Female Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award. The award was reinstated in 2023

# Margareta Pâslaru
**Margareta Pâslaru** or **Pîslaru** (`{{IPA|ro|marɡaˈreta pɨsˈlaru}}`{=mediawiki}; born July 9, 1943, in Bucharest) is a Romanian-American singer, actress, composer, lyricist, TV producer, and artistic director. Debuting in 1958, Pâslaru celebrated the 50th anniversary of her career at The Romanian Union of Composers in Bucharest in 2008. Pâslaru was married to Gheorghe Sencovici, a former Olympic skeet shooter, until his death, and the couple had a daughter, Ana Maria, and a grandson, Luca. Pâslaru has lived and worked in the United States since 1983, splitting between Manhattan and Bucharest. She was formerly a resident of Summit, New Jersey.
A multi-talented artist, Pâslaru studied piano, ballet, and painting. Sung in Romanian, the style of her repertoire is very similar to the light pop music of the 1960s by artists such as Barbra Streisand and Petula Clark. She has collaborated numerous notable musicians, among them Radu Goldiș. Two songs from her repertoire were used for the 2005 international prize-winning Romanian film, *The Death of Mr. Lazarescu*: *\"Cum e oare\"* (Telling It Like It Really Is) and *\"Chemarea mării\"* (The Waves of the Ocean). Throughout her career, over 65 Romanian composers wrote music for Margareta Pâslaru.

# The Gaze of Orpheus
In ancient Greek religion, **The Gaze of Orpheus** is derived from the antiquarian Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. In the story of Orpheus, the poet descends to the underworld to retrieve his wife, Eurydice from premature death, only on Hades' and Persephone\'s condition that he does not look at her during the process. During his descent, however, Orpheus disobeys this condition and loses Eurydice again, and he himself is destroyed.
The Gaze of Orpheus has since been evaluated by many philosophers and literary critics. Common analogies are made between Orpheus\'s gaze and writing processes, philosophical interpretation, and artistic origins. Some of the most famous uses of the gaze of Orpheus can be found in Maurice Blanchot's short essay 'Le Regard d'Orphée' (The Gaze of Orpheus), Geoffrey Sirc's, The Composition's Eye/Orpheus's Gaze/Cobain's Journals, and Jaques Lacan's work on the mirror stage.
## Interpretations
### Maurice Blanchot {#maurice_blanchot}
Blanchot\'s interpretation and use of the Orphic myth is to highlight the non-dialectical movement of art, and especially literature\'s, self-realization. Against Hegelian dialectics, Blanchot\'s Orpheus sacrifices Eurydice but does not attain the work, only the sacrifice of the work, and affirms the impossibility that grounds the work at its origin. This piece is notable for both its philosophical style and its literary singularity. Some critics have offered "the Orpheus myth as a model which provides ways to discuss many of the features of Blanchot\'s work, which until now appeared not to have common thematic links.\" In a way, Blanchot uses the myth to transcribe the creative process---Lynne Huffer suggests that "Eurydice\'s disappearance symbolizes a loss that is recuperated by the compensatory gift of Orpheus\'s song." Blanchot believes that the myth itself is a fitting example of the necessity of obliqueness and indirection in approaching *being*. Following the thought of Martin Heidegger in his influential essay \"The Origin of the Work of Art,\" Blanchot argues that the work is itself primarily hidden, in concealment, and shrouded by darkness: \"the depths do not give themselves up directly,\" he writes, \"but reveal themselves only through dissembling themselves in the work\" (\"La profondeur ne se livre pas en face, elle ne se révèle qu'en se dissimulant dans l'œuvre\").
But Orpheus\'s impatience leads him to gazes upon Eurydice, and he fails utterly. Crucially, \"it is as though what Orpheus yearns to bring back to the light, and which is the reason he cannot not look upon her, is not that Eurydice who will be restored to life and visibility, but \... that the other Eurydice who belongs to the other night and thus will always remain invisible, dying of a death that is without possibility or end. And it is for this other, irreducibly invisible Eurydice that Orpheus squanders both the work and his beloved's resurrection." Thus, as Hill argues, Eurydice represents a fundamental absence that fascinates the poet and lures him to the underworld. Orpheus' backwards glance merely confirms the absence that defines his desire and poetic impulse. In this moment of inspiration, when Orpheus gazes at Eurydice, he loses her---she disappears into the work's inability to attain the fullness of being. The work of art intensifies and accomplishes loss rather than redeems it. Orpheus\' glance recursively confirms the absence it sought to resolve. The anguish of loss that compels the artist finds no respite in works that only deepen that absence in the process of creative formation. Blanchot locates an irreducible gap between the fullness of being that poetry seeks and the vacancy of the works that gesture toward, but can never fully capture. Further, Eurydice is always already absent in Orpheus' poems, even before his descent.
Leslie Hill has criticized the piece by arguing that by making claims on both literature and philosophy all at once, it \"fulfils neither of them properly, with the result that, while on one level the story of Orpheus, as Blanchot configures it, indeed reprises and clarifies in theoretical terms many of the underlying arguments and themes common to Blanchot's work as a whole, it also functions transgressively as a mise-en-abyme of the excessive, paradoxical logic it aims to describe -- which is none other than the logic of law and transgression itself -- and thereby disables the claim of philosophy or literary theory to be able to rescue literature from the otherness of darkness and bring it into the light."
### Geoffrey Sirc {#geoffrey_sirc}
Another interpretation or usage of the gaze of Orpheus is by Geoffrey Sirc. Sirc uses Orpheus\'s moment of violation as argument for creative form in writing versus the standard polished text. Urging the adolescent writer to break free of formal notions of form, Sirc views the journal as the media through which Orpheus yearns for Eurydice. Sirc suggests that if \"the Work is freed of concern, the gaze is transgressive, then we're clearly not talking about the polished text, especially one oriented dutifully around the tiny truths available through an analysis of middle-brow media.\" Sirc\'s primary reference to this is in Kurt Cobain\'s Journal\'s.

# The Gaze of Orpheus
## Interpretations
### Jaques Lacan {#jaques_lacan}
Lacan\'s perspective on the gaze of Orpheus is more a matter of desires and yearning. On one hand we have Orpheus gazing towards the underworld, which serves to dissolve the connection between Orpheus and his desire, Eurydice. On the other hand, Orpheus' role in the upper world is to use his creativity and artistic talent to transform his desires into a recreated form. Lacan uses the topography of the myth to construct his mirror stage. Mark Linder suggests: "The mirror stage is not an isolated event or situation that results in a particular configuration of vision: it is both a loss (of primordial polymorphous, autoerotic wholeness) and an 'achieved anxiety' (a precocious anticipation of an impossible maturity or return to wholeness

# Black Benny
**Benjamin \"Benny\" Williams** (c. 1890 -- 1924), better known as **Black Benny**, was a drummer from New Orleans.
Williams grew up in a rough poor African-American neighborhood in the Third Ward of New Orleans known as \"The Battleground\". He was in and out of jails for much of his life. In addition to his work as a drummer, Williams was a bouncer and a prizefighter.
An early colleague of Louis Armstrong, Williams is referred to in Armstrong\'s autobiography and helped look after Armstrong during his childhood. Sidney Bechet talks about Black Benny Williams in his autobiography, as does Jelly Roll Morton in his Library of Congress interviews.
Williams was stabbed in a dispute on July 2, 1924, by a woman named Helena Lewis. By the time he arrived at Charity Hospital that day, \"he had lost a significant amount of blood. His heart was sliced open. And he had no pulse. Doctors went to work on him anyway.\" A surgeon used four stitches to sew up Williams\' heart, then transfused a pint of blood from Williams\' sister. Williams then woke up and began to talk. However, an infection set in. He developed pneumonia, and died on July 6. His assailant, Helena Lewis, was shot in an altercation with another woman later that same month. She died at Charity Hospital two weeks after Benny, on July 20

# Harmonie
***Harmonie*** is a German word that, in the context of the history of music, designates an ensemble of wind instruments (usually about five to eight players) employed by an aristocratic patron, particularly during the Classical era of the 18th century. The Harmonie would be employed for outdoor or recreational music, or as a wind section of an orchestra. Music composed for Harmonie is often called *Harmoniemusik*.
## Terminology
Horace Fitzpatrick writes (reference below):
> From about 1756 onward the Emperor \[in Vienna\] and the Austrian nobles kept house bands called *Harmonien*, usually made of pairs of oboes, horns, bassoons, and after about 1770, clarinets. These wind groups formed part of the household musical staff, and provided serenade for banquets and garden parties. Joseph II kept a crack *Harmonie* for his private delectation, drawn from the principal wind players of the Imperial opera. His successor Franz II carried on this practice.
According to Haydn biographer Rosemary Hughes:
> \"Feldharmonie\" or simply \"Harmonie,\" was the wind band, maintained by most noblemen even when they could not afford a larger orchestra, for performing at hunting parties and other outdoor entertainments.
Roger Hellyer, writing in the *Grove Dictionary* notes that while the Harmonie generally had an aristocratic patron, the same music was sometimes also played by street musicians. A letter by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to his father Leopold (3 November 1781) noted that street musicians had serenaded him with his own composition, the wind serenade K. 375.
In English, the word \"Harmonie\" exists only as a technical term of historical musicology. In other European languages, such as Dutch, French and German, the term may also refer to a modern wind band.
### \"Harmonie\" as wind section {#harmonie_as_wind_section}
The aristocrats who employed a Harmonie would often also maintain a small orchestra, numerically dominated by, or consisting entirely of, the string section. When members of the Harmonie participated in performances with such orchestras, it became possible for the composer to enrich the musical texture with wind parts, without increasing the payroll cost of his patron. Thus, \"Harmonie\" came also to designate the wind section of a small orchestra. Of this practice, Fitzpatrick writes, \"It was \[Franz II\'s *Harmonie*\] who made up the wind section in Beethoven\'s orchestra of 1800 \[at the premiere of the composer\'s First Symphony\].\"
Joseph Haydn\'s Mass in B flat major, (H. 22/14, 1802) is nicknamed the \"Harmoniemesse\", because (unlike the other masses Haydn wrote during this time) it includes parts for a whole wind section, thanks to the recent reinstatement of these instruments in the musical establishment of Prince Nikolaus Esterházy II.
### Music arranged for Harmonie {#music_arranged_for_harmonie}
The 18th-century German expression \"auf Harmonie setzen\" (`{{lit.}}`{=mediawiki}: set onto Harmonie) means arranging a piece of music for performance by a Harmonie. For instance *Der Messias*, Mozart\'s arrangement of Handel\'s *Messiah*, included that several movements became \"*auf Harmonie gesetzt*\".
## History
During the historical period of the Harmonie, the ensemble gradually grew in size. Hellyer (2006) suggests that during the early period, in the 1750s, a Harmonie could consist of just five instruments (two oboes, two horns, and one bassoon), though a second bassoon could be included as well. The Harmonie compositions of Haydn and Mozart (see below) all use at least six instruments.
A later expansion of the Harmonie can be traced with the accession of Joseph II to the throne of the Austrian Empire in 1780. Joseph expanded music-making at his court in a number of ways, including the introduction of a Harmonie, as noted above. This Harmonie consisted of eight players, with two clarinets added to the traditional two oboes, two horns, and two bassoons. Other nobles then followed the Emperor\'s lead.
The Emperor\'s Harmonie included some distinguished players, notably the clarinettist Anton Stadler, who was the inspiration for a number of important works by Mozart. It also included Anton\'s younger brother Johann, as well as the oboist Johann Nepomuk Wendt, a composer of over 80 works for Harmonie, and oboist/composer Josef Triebensee.
The Harmonie continued as a lively musical tradition until the Napoleonic Wars forced aristocrats to retrench financially, cutting down on the number of musicians they employed. The tradition had been largely abandoned by the mid-1830s.

## Examples of Harmonie music {#examples_of_harmonie_music}
Some of Joseph Haydn\'s early works, called *divertimenti* or *Feldpartien*, were written for the Harmonie of his first full-time employer, Count Morzin around 1760. Haydn became Vice-Kapellmeister for the Prince Paul Anton Esterházy in 1761, which was the same year that the Prince established a six-member Harmonie; Hellyer suggests that some of Haydn\'s early works for Harmonie were intended for this ensemble.
Mozart also wrote for Harmonie. As a teenager traveling in Italy, he wrote the early Divertimenti K. 186 and K. 166 (1773); see Divertimenti for ten winds (Mozart). He wrote further divertimenti between 1775 and 1777, while working at the Salzburg court (K. 213, 240, 252, 253, 270).
Some time after his move to Vienna (1781), Mozart wrote his most extended work for Harmonie, the Serenade in B flat, K. 361 (a.k.a. *Gran Partita*). This is for an amplified wind ensemble of 13 instruments (two oboes, two clarinets, two basset horns, four (French) horns, two bassoons, and a string bass). His E flat serenade of 1781, K. 375, is written for a Harmonie consisting of clarinets, bassoons and horns, curiously mismatching what the new Emperor had arranged as his Harmonie; Hellyer suggests Mozart, who was seeking a job at court at the time, was misinformed. Mozart later revised the work to include two oboe parts.
Perhaps the weightiest of all music for Harmonie is Mozart\'s Serenade No. 12 for winds in C minor, K. 388, written in 1782 for Joseph II\'s eight-player Harmonie. Hellyer calls it \"a curiously sombre and powerful work which often conveys a mood of dramatic intensity totally alien to the informal background music normally associated with the serenade type.\"
At the banquet in the finale of *Don Giovanni*, Mozart has a \"Harmonie\" perform parts from *Una cosa rara* by Vicente Martín y Soler, *I due litiganti* by Giuseppe Sarti and the aria \"Non più andrai\" from his own *The Marriage of Figaro*. The scoring is for the full eight-part Harmonie, two each of oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and horns

# Best Angler ESPY Award
The **Best Angler ESPY Award** was an annual award honoring the achievements of an athlete from the world of angling. It was presented as part of the ESPY Awards at the 2006 ceremony and it replaced the non-gender specific Best Outdoor Sportsman ESPY Award before the latter accolade was reinstated for the 2007 edition. The Best Angler ESPY Award trophy, designed by sculptor Lawrence Nowlan, was presented to the amateur or professional angling sport fisherman, irrespective of gender or nationality, adjudged to be the best in a given calendar year; although the accolade may technically be presented to an angler of any fish, in practice only bass fishermen are considered as nominees. Balloting for the award is undertaken by fans over the Internet from between three and five choices selected by the ESPN Select Nominating Committee, which is composed of a panel of experts. It was conferred in July to reflect performance and achievement over the preceding twelve months. The sole winner of the Best Angler ESPY Award was Tammy Richardson, who finished runner-up in the final Women\'s Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings for the 2006 season

# Vicente Rondón
**Vicente Paúl Rondón** (July 29, 1938 -- December 28, 1992) was a Venezuelan professional boxer who competed from 1965 to 1974, holding the WBA light heavyweight title from 1971 to 1972.
## Personal background {#personal_background}
Rondón was born into extreme poverty in San José de Río Chico, Miranda, Venezuela, and decided to escape his poor surroundings by enlisting in the Venezuelan military at an early age.
## Professional career {#professional_career}
When Rondón turned professional, his year of birth was listed as 1944; in fact it was 1938. Rondón began fighting as a middleweight and made a name for himself with upset victories over former world welterweight champion Luis Rodríguez and middleweight contender Bennie Briscoe. However, Rondon was growing and quickly established himself as a top rated light heavyweight with impressive wins over Roger Rouse, Eddie Talhami, and Allen Thomas. World Light heavyweight Champion Bob Foster did not seem eager to fight the #2 ranked Rondón or the #1 rated Jimmy Dupree. The WBA stripped Foster of his title and matched Rondón and Dupree.
In an exciting slugfest, Rondón climbed off the canvas in the second round to stop the favored Dupree at 2:58 of the 6th round. At the time of the stoppage, referee Zack Clayton had the fight scored even at 47--47. Judge Dimas Hernandez also scored the bout 47--47, and judge Gustavo Vargas favored Rondón, 48--47. Following the fight, a controversy broke out with Dupree claiming he was drugged. The United Press International published a story of the claim. In the UPI article, Charliese Smith, a registered nurse and friend of Dupree said, \"I believe Jimmy was drugged. I saw Jimmy after the fight and he was very very weak. His vision was blurry and he couldn\'t even see the other side of the room.\" She went on to say, \"I know of muscle relaxants that can be administered in food and I\'m convinced that Jimmy was given something.\" Regardless of the charges, the World Boxing Association recognized Rondón as world champion, while *The Ring* magazine viewed Bob Foster as the legitimate Light heavyweight king.
1971 was an outstanding year for Rondón with a number of title defenses. He became the first and only fighter to stop Gomeo Brennan. Many experts felt that Rondón could and would defeat Bob Foster. Rondon flopped badly against Foster in 1972; being destroyed in two rounds. A venture into the heavyweight ranks proved just as bad, as he was beaten by Earnie Shavers, Ron Lyle and José Urtain. Rondón did better in 1973 as he started to trim down in weight. He looked highly skilled and impressive by scoring a 10-round decision over undefeated prospect Oliver Wright on Miami Beach. Shortly after, he stopped heavyweight Mike \"Jim\" Boswell in four rounds.
Sadly, Rondón\'s private life was full of demons. He was developing a drinking problem and spending money like it was going out of style. An attempt to regain the light heavyweight title, saw him drop a decision to number 1 rated Len Hutchins, and then suffer a 9th-round technical knockout to John Conteh. In 1974, Rondón, weighing 188 pounds, went back to the heavyweight division, where he would be largely unsuccessful. He was unable to get off the stool for round three in his fight with Rodney Bobick at Miami Beach, Florida. In his next fight he was knocked out in two rounds by former world heavyweight title contender José Roman.

## Life after boxing {#life_after_boxing}
Shortly thereafter Rondón\'s career hit the skids and so did he. He was confined to a mental hospital, and later arrested on charges of robbing a store for \$150. Rondon served a prison sentence, and there are unconfirmed reports that he boxed some exhibitions or possibly a professional match while incarcerated. Rondón was released from prison a physical wreck. Vicente Paul Rondón, the boxing idol of his country, died forgotten, broke and in poverty in Santa Ana de Carapita, a slum of Caracas. Rondón had been living with his elderly mother at the time. He was 54 when he died

# High Desert (California)
The **High Desert** is a vernacular region with non-discrete boundaries covering areas of the western Mojave Desert in Southern California. The region encompasses various terrain with elevations generally between 2000 and above sea level, and is located just north of the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and Little San Bernardino Mountains.
The term \"High Desert\" is commonly used by local news media, especially in weather forecasts, because of the high desert\'s unique and moderate weather patterns compared to its low desert neighbors. The term \"High Desert\" serves to differentiate it from southern California\'s Low Desert, which is defined by the differences in elevation, climate, animal life, and vegetation native to these regions. For instance, Palm Springs, at 500 ft above sea level, is considered \"Low Desert\"; in contrast, Landers at 3100 ft above sea level, is considered \"High Desert\".
The High Desert, along with the \"Mojave River Valley\" and the Victor Valley, is mostly used to describe the area centered around Victorville. The region extends as far west as Lancaster, as far southwest as Palmdale, and north to the Barstow desert. \"High Desert\" has also been incorporated into the names of businesses and organizations in these areas. The term \"High Desert\" is also erroneously used to refer to the communities north and west of Joshua Tree National Park---Twentynine Palms and the Morongo Basin (Yucca Valley), which are actually in an area called the Hi-Desert. These communities are at a higher elevation than the Low Desert that encompasses the Coachella Valley and Imperial Valley in far southern California.
The area was even proposed to become a new county due to cultural, economic and geographic differences relative to the rest of the more urban region.
## Geography
Depending on how the boundaries of the Mojave and the Colorado Desert region are defined, the High Desert either includes the entire California portion of the Mojave Desert (using a smaller geographic designation than its ecoregion) or the northern portion of the California desert (using a larger geographic designation including the ecotope area of the lower and adjacent Sonoran Desert).
The name of the region comes from its higher elevations and more northern latitude with associated climate and plant communities distinct from the Low Desert, which includes the Colorado Desert and the below-sea-level Salton Sea. The High Desert is typically windier than the Low Desert, and it averages 12 to 20 °F cooler in both the winter and summer seasons.

# High Desert (California)
## Regions
The High Desert is often divided into the following regions, moving west to east:
- The Los Angeles County portion, containing the Antelope Valley, part of the Palmdale--Lancaster Urbanized Area, and in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Urbanized Area is home to 353,619 people.
- The San Bernardino County portion, containing the Victor Valley and Barstow, is the most populous region of the High Desert with an estimated 2015 population of over 385,960 residents. Major population center in area includes Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Adelanto, and Oak Hills. This region is sometimes considered part of the Inland Empire area of Southern California.
- Further east lies the Lucerne Valley and the Morongo Basin, where Yucca Valley and the Twentynine Palms Marine Base are located. All these regions are all considered to be part of Greater Los Angeles.
San Bernardino County\'s portion of the High Desert region contains the most land mass of the four involved counties, making up approximately 70% of the total county\'s area.
Other parts of the greater physical region known as the \"High Desert\" include:
- The San Bernardino County northeastern reaches of the High Desert, where the Fort Irwin National Training Center and the Searles Valley are located, and the far eastern edge of the state where places like Needles and Earp are located along the Colorado River.
- The Kern County portion, containing part of two valleys, with the southeastern part in the Antelope Valley, including Rosamond, California City, Boron, Edwards Air Force Base, and Mojave, which are all a part of the Palmdale--Lancaster Urbanized Area, and the northeastern part being in the Indian Wells Valley, including the communities of Inyokern and Ridgecrest.
- The Inyo County portion, north of Kern County and containing the northern end of the Indian Wells Valley, Panamint Valley, and Saline Valley. This is the most sparsely populated area of the High Desert; its major communities are Lone Pine in the southern Owens Valley and Bishop in the northern.

## Cities and communities {#cities_and_communities}
The major metropolitan centers in the region are primarily centered on the cities of Lancaster and Victorville. Lancaster, the largest city in the High Desert, is located in the Antelope Valley next to Palmdale and anchors the area\'s Los Angeles County region with a metro area population of just over 500,000. The Victor Valley area, which includes cities and communities such as Victorville, Hesperia, Adelanto, Apple Valley, and Lucerne Valley, boasts a population around 385,000. The Barstow area, to the northeast of the Victor Valley, and the Morongo Basin near Joshua Tree National Park both have populations of around 60,000.

# Joe Knight (boxer)
**Joe Knight**, (January 15, 1909 -- July 1, 1976) was an American boxer born in Cairo, GA. The National Boxing Association awarded Knight the World Light Heavyweight title in 1933.
## Early life {#early_life}
Knight was born on January 15, 1909, in Cairo, Georgia. He turned pro in 1927, and knocked out \"Battleship Sword\" in the fall of that year.
### Early career, 1931-2 {#early_career_1931_2}
On May 22, 1931, New York native Yale Okun became his fifth round knockout victim in Miami. The final blow was a straight right to the jaw. Knight battered Okun with his left for four rounds before ending the bout in the fifth.
Knight gained revenge against Spike Webb in ten rounds in Miami on August 7, though knocked to the mat in the fourth. He had lost to Webb the previous month, taking a knockdown in the first.
Knight won an unpopular decision over Tony Cancela on January 7, 1932, in Miami. Cancela drilled staggering rights to the head of a groggy Knight in the closing round. Many ringside believed Cancela, the bout\'s consistent aggressor, should have earned the decision with a comfortable margin.
Don Petrin, who claimed a late foul, fell to Knight in a fourth round knockout at Miami\'s Biscayne Arena on February 15, 1932. The bout had originally been scheduled for ten rounds.
Charley Belanger lost to Knight on May 23, 1932, in a ten-round split decision in Boston. Knight had a considerable lead in the first four rounds, but experienced an assortment of blows to the body in the remaining six. He closed strong in the final rounds scoring several times with lefts to the head. The decision was unpopular with the crowd who felt Belanger had gained a winning margin on points in the last six rounds.
On the first of July, 1932, Knight challenged Bob Godwin for the Southern Light Heavyweight Title at Daytona Beach, and received a ten-round draw decision. Godwin had formerly taken the title from Knight. Knight, who had previously lost the title to Godwin, initially led, but slowed in the last two rounds before Knight\'s relentless attack. The crowd appeared satisfied with the draw decision in the savage bout.
Knight faced George Courtney on September 19, 1932, winning at the end of the fifth from a technical knockout in Laurel, Maryland.
He decisively defeated reigning World Light Heavyweight Champion George Nichols before three thousand in Charleston, South Carolina on October 17, 1932, in a non-title ten-round decision. Knight charged into his opponent from the opening bell, and Nichols failed to take a round.
Chick Raines fell to Knight in a ten-round points decision on November 23, 1932, in Savannah.
Natie Brown lost in a fifth round technical knockout to Knight on November 29, 1932, in Jacksonville, Florida. Brown was reported to have suffered a broken jaw and was unable to continue.
Knight defeated Owen Phelps on December 6, 1932, in a ten-round bout for the Southern Light Heavyweight Title in Alexandria, Virginia. Knight was given every round, and knocked Phelps to the mat for a no count in the fourth. Phelps was required to clinch, hold, and back away to endure Knight\'s attack.
Battling Bozo lost on February 13, 1933, in a ten-round points decision at Daytona Beach. Knight may have taken every round, but his opponent avoided a knockout with an effective defense.

### Losing the NBA World Light Heavyweight Title to Bob Godwin, March, 1933 {#losing_the_nba_world_light_heavyweight_title_to_bob_godwin_march_1933}
Knight lost the NBA World Light Heavyweight title to contender Bob Godwin on March 1, 1933, in a ten-round points decision at Legion Arena in West Palm Beach, Florida. Godwin employed excellent blocking and though he took many hard licks in the lengthy bout, he was the aggressor throughout and won the infighting, particularly after Knight tired by mid-bout. Godwin took two of the first five rounds, with three even. Drawing on remarkable stamina, the 21-year old Godwin won the next four rounds, leaving the tenth even. Godwin took a beating in the bout, with both eyes badly swollen by the end. It was a primitive match requiring limited boxing skill or ring generalship. Knight won only two of the five meetings between him and Godwin.
Max Marek, the tenth ranked heavyweight in the world, fell to Knight in a ten-round points decision at Miami Beach on April 13, 1936. Though giving up fifteen pounds, Knight used his speed and experience to his advantage. The bout one of Knight\'s best displays of skill. In the third, he nearly staggered Marek with a left to the chin, but Marek fought back harder, and remained the aggressor throughout much of the bout, delivering a variety of solid punches. In a brutal bout, Knight closed well in the last three rounds, clipping two lefts to the chin of Marek in the tenth.
Knight beat Lou Scozza at the Biscayne Arena in Miami on June 12, 1933, in a ten-round points decision. Knight shelled Scozza with hard lefts and right for most of ten rounds. Though Scozza rallied in the ninth, he was unable to overcome the lead that Knight had piled up. Four thousand spectators watched the judges rule unanimously for Knight.
Joe Banovic lost to Knight in a ten-round points decision on August 8, 1933, in Laurel, Maryland. Banovic was down for a count of nine in the fifth, and eight in the sixth. He opened up in the final round, cutting Knight\'s face, but it was too late to take the lead in points.

### Final attempt at the NBA Light Heavyweight Title, February, 1934 {#final_attempt_at_the_nba_light_heavyweight_title_february_1934}
On February 5, 1934, Knight fought a fifteen-round draw before 20,000 in another NBA World Light Heavyweight title match against Maxie Rosenbloom. The referee and one judge scored the match as a dead heat giving three rounds to each contestant, but Sam Roberts, the remaining judge gave the bout to Knight by the slimmest margin of one round. Rosenbloom employed his common but controversial habit of flicking and backhanding his opponent\'s face and body with an open glove. Whether this was a foul or fair determined whether the judges scored Knight or Rosenbloom the winner. Most ringside, however, felt Knight deserved the winning vote and the title.
Knight lost to Tony Shucco, New England Light Heavyweight Champion, on May 11, 1934, before 3,358, in a close ten-round unanimous decision at Boston Garden. Knight appeared to have the better of the early bout, but Shucco rallied in the closing rounds. Through much of the bout, Shucco stood off at long range and flicked jabs at Knight\'s head to avoid his withering blows. One reporter gave Shucco only five rounds, Knight four, and one even.
Knight defeated Carl Knowles on June 8, 1934, in a tenth-round technical knockout in a brutal bout in Savannah. Knight used repeated left hooks with great effect, and waged a masterful defense, either blocking or ducking Knowles\'s best blows. Knowles mounted an offensive only in the early rounds.
Buck Everett fell to Knight in a ninth-round technical knockout in Miami on June 11, 1934. The referee stopped the hard fought battle to prevent further injury to Everett\'s badly cut left eye, and broken rib. Everett scored hard rights in the early rounds, and the final rounds featured fierce in-fighting with the boxers only inches apart. Bob Riley, Everett\'s manager, was informed in confidence by a Doctor the rib was likely broken after the fourth round, but the bout continued until Riley demanded it end.
Knight achieved a seventh-round technical knockout of Henry Firpo on June 28, 1934, in Washington. Firpo was down for a count of nine in the fourth, though he rallied in the fifth. The bout was stopped in the seventh when Knight had Firpo down twice.
Knight knocked out Clyde Chastain in six rounds on July 23, 1934, in Miami. Knight shot a stiff left to the midsection, followed by a hard right that left Chastain on the floor at the fifth round bell. Charging out at the opening of the sixth, Knight tagged Chastain with a left to the stomach for a count of nine. When Chastain arose, Knight instantly sent him to the mat for the final time.
In the fall of 1934, the National Boxing Association vacated Maxie Rosenbloom\'s light heavyweight title. The commissions for North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida named Joe Knight as World Champion. He was featured on the cover of the September 1934 Ring Magazine.
#### Career decline and loss to Al Gainer {#career_decline_and_loss_to_al_gainer}
Winning a decisive seventh round technical knockout over Al Rodrigues on October 15, 1934, Knight showcased his powerful left. Both contestants fought cautiously in the first four rounds. In the fifth, Knight landed a heavy left to Rodrigues\'s stomach, then immediately dropped him for a count of nine with another to the jaw, bringing an end to the fifth. Rodriguez was down again in the sixth for a nine count. Dazed and beaten in the seventh, Rodrigues\'s seconds threw in the towel to end the bout.
Corn Griffin fell to Knight in a fourth round technical knockout on July 4, 1935. Both contestants continued to battle after the fourth round bell, and the referee immediately stopped the bout, concerning about bleeding from Griffin\'s eyes. Still concerned, the referee prevented Griffin from answering the fifth round bell.
Knight dropped a match to Southpaw and former middleweight champion Al McCoy in Montreal, Canada on September 5, 1935. The bout was for the Montreal Athletic Commission World Light Heavyweight Title, with McCoy winning in a fifteen round Unanimous Decision at Mount Royal Arena. McCoy took eight rounds, Knight three, and the rest were even.
Knight had a devastating loss to the gifted Al Gainer on June 1, 1936, in a ten-round points decision in Millvale, Pennsylvania. Gainer, who took every round, gave Knight a decisive beating. Gainer sent Knight to one knee in the third, and staggered him on several occasions. Beaten and exhausted, Knight remained strictly on defense after the fifth round. Though he would fight on for two more years, he tried to officially retire shortly after the bout.
Fellow Southpaw Melio Bettina won a decisive ten-round decision over Knight at Miami Beach on June 18, 1937. One reporter noted that Knight had won only three rounds and should consider retirement. Down for a no count in the sixth, Knight lost decisively on points in the last three rounds. Never a second-rate boxer, Bettina would contend twice for the NBA World Light Heavyweight championship two years later. Knight would take six months off, and take four more wins before retiring in 1938. In his final bout on April 19, 1938, Knight defeated Chet Gideon in a ten-round points decision in Orlando. Knight had Gideon down once in the ninth and once in the tenth.
## Life after boxing {#life_after_boxing}
In retirement, Knight promoted fights in Georgia and Florida. He died on July 16, 1976, in Dekalb, Georgia.

# Best Male Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award
The **Best Male Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award** is an annual award honoring the achievements of a male athlete from the world of action sports. It was first awarded as part of the ESPY Awards in 2004 after the non-gender-specific Best Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award was presented the previous two years (with American snowboarder Shaun White receiving the 2003 award). The Best Male Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award trophy, created by sculptor Lawrence Nowlan, is presented to the male adjudged to be the best action sports athlete in a given calendar year. Balloting for the award is undertaken by fans over the Internet from between three and five choices selected by the ESPN Select Nominating Committee, which is composed of a panel of experts. It is conferred in July to reflect performance and achievement over the preceding twelve months.
The inaugural winner of the Best Male Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award at the 2004 awards was freestyle BMX rider Ryan Nyquist. During 1997 and 2003, Nyquist won eleven out of eighteen available freestyle BMX medals at the X Games. He became the first freestyle BMX rider to be nominated for, and thus the first to win, an ESPY Award. The 2006 winner of the Best Male Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award was Shaun White. He was nominated a further five consecutive times between the 2008 and 2012 ceremonies, all of which he won, making him the athlete with the most victories with six. The two other athletes to have earned successive awards are street skateboarder Nyjah Huston and motocross rider Ryan Dungey. Canadian snowboarder Mark McMorris became the first non-American to win the accolade in 2017 by earning three medals at that year\'s X Games in Minneapolis. Snowboarders are the most successful sportspeople with seven awards, followed by motocross riders, with four, and street skateboarders, with three. It was not awarded in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The most recent winner of the award was American Motocross and Supercross racer Eli Tomac in 2022.

# Best Female Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award
The **Best Female Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award** is an annual award honoring the achievements of a female athlete from the world of action sports. It was first awarded as part of the ESPY Awards in 2004 after the non-gender-specific Best Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award was presented the previous two years (with the American snowboarder Kelly Clark receiving the 2002 award). It is given to the female, irrespective of nationality or sport contested, adjudged to be the best action sports athlete in a given calendar year. Balloting for the award is undertaken by fans over the Internet from between three and five choices selected by the ESPN Select Nominating Committee, which is composed of a panel of experts. It is conferred in July to reflect performance and achievement over the preceding twelve months.
The inaugural winner of the award was the American wakeboarder Dallas Friday. During 2003 and 2004, Friday won 12 of the available 14 professional women\'s titles, including national and world championships. She became the first wakeboarder to be nominated for, and hence to win, an ESPY Award. Athletes from the United States have won more times than any other nationality with ten (three times to snowboarders Jamie Anderson and Chloe Kim), followed by Australians with three, two of which went to the surfer Stephanie Gilmore. Snowboarders are most successful sportspeople, with eleven awards, followed by surfers with four. It was not awarded in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The most recent winner of the award was Chinese freestyle skier Eileen Gu in 2022

# Desmetramadol
**Desmetramadol** (`{{abbrlink|INN|International Nonproprietary Name}}`{=mediawiki}), also known as ***O*-desmethyltramadol** (***O*-DSMT**), is an opioid analgesic and the main active metabolite of tramadol. Tramadol is demethylated by the liver enzyme CYP2D6 to desmetramadol in the same way as codeine, and so similarly to the variation in effects seen with codeine, individuals who have a less active form of CYP2D6 will tend to have reduced analgesic effects from tramadol. Because desmetramadol itself does not need to be metabolized to induce an analgesic effect, it can be used in individuals with CYP2D6 inactivating mutations.
Desmetramadol is commonly encountered as a designer drug online in powder form or as an ingredient in pressed pills due to being unscheduled in many jurisdictions. Outside of its role as a metabolite, a chemical used in research, and as a recreational drug, desmetramadol has a very limited history of human usage and is not approved for medicinal use in any country as of 2025.
## Pharmacology
### Pharmacodynamics
(+)-Desmetramadol is a G-protein biased μ-opioid receptor full agonist. It shows comparatively far lower affinity for the δ- and κ-opioid receptors. The two enantiomers of desmetramadol show quite distinct pharmacological profiles; both (+) and (−)-desmetramadol are inactive as serotonin reuptake inhibitors, but (−)-desmetramadol retains activity as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, and so the mix of both the parent compound and metabolites contributes significantly to the complex pharmacological profile of tramadol. While the multiple receptor targets can be beneficial in the treatment of pain (especially complex pain syndromes such as neuropathic pain), they increase the potential for drug interactions compared to other opioids, and may also contribute to side effects. Desmetramadol is also an antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT~2C~ receptor, at pharmacologically relevant concentrations, via competitive inhibition. This suggests that the apparent anti-depressant properties of tramadol may be at least partially mediated by desmetramadol, thus prolonging the duration of therapeutic benefit. Inhibition of the 5-HT~2C~ receptor is a suggested factor in the mechanism of anti-depressant effects of agomelatine and maprotiline. The potential selectivity and favorable side effect profile of desmetramadol compared to tramadol, makes it more suitable for use as antidepressant, although clinical development appears to have stopped. Upon inhibition of the receptor, downstream signaling causes dopamine and norepinephrine release, and the receptor is thought to significantly regulate mood, anxiety, feeding, and reproductive behavior. 5-HT~2C~ receptors regulate dopamine release in the striatum, prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and amygdala, among others. Research indicates that some suicide victims have an abnormally high number of 5-HT~2C~ receptors in the prefrontal cortex. There is some mixed evidence that agomelatine, a 5-HT~2C~ antagonist, is an effective antidepressant. Antagonism of 5-HT~2C~ receptors by agomelatine results in an increase of dopamine and norepinephrine activity in the frontal cortex.
### Pharmacokinetics
#### Metabolites
Desmetramadol is metabolized in the liver into the active metabolite *N*,*O*-didesmethyltramadol via CYP3A4 and CYP2B6. The inactive tramadol metabolite *N*-desmethyltramadol is metabolized into the active metabolite *N*,*O*-didesmethyltramadol by CYP2D6.
## Society and culture {#society_and_culture}
### Recreational use {#recreational_use}
An herbal remedy called *Krypton* was found to contain kratom leaf powder and desmetramadol. *Krypton* was reportedly linked to at least 9 accidental opioid overdose deaths in Sweden during 2010--2011.
### Legality
#### United States {#united_states}
Desmetramadol is not a scheduled substance in the United States.
#### United Kingdom {#united_kingdom}
Desmetramadol was made a Class B drug in the United Kingdom on 26 Feb 2013

# Majo-kit
**Majo-kit** is a toy line developed by the Majorette company of France. Together, they form a complete city traffic environment that also includes farms and factories.
Majo-kits are made from plastic materials with a certain amount of detail. They were designed for children and should not be considered an accurate representation of anything in particular. The separate pieces snap together to form scale size towns and cities for Majorette or other similar size model vehicles. Children are introduced to rules of the road by laying out and obeying traffic signs, and learn to navigate streets with road issues, roundabouts and traffic lights. The Majo-kit buildings are actually too big for the Majorette vehicles but they needed to be a certain size to make them easy to assemble for smaller children.
Many different kits with their own theme were made and all are compatible with each other. This allows children (it was mostly aimed at boys) to keep adding streets and structures. The kits were sold in Europe, Canada, Costa Rica, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. All of the Majo-kit figures are men, and there are no women or children.

# Best Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award
The **Best Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award** was an annual award honoring the achievements of an athlete from the world of action sports. It was first awarded as part of the ESPY Awards in the 2002 ceremony. The Best Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award trophy, created by sculptor Lawrence Nowlan, was presented to the action sports athlete adjudged to be the best in a given calendar year. Balloting for the award was undertaken by a panel of experts who composed the ESPN Select Nominating Committee. Through the 2001 iteration of the ESPY Awards, ceremonies were conducted in February of each year to honor achievements over the previous calendar year; awards presented thereafter are conferred in July and reflect performance from the June previous.
The inaugural winner of the Best Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award was American snowboarder Kelly Clark at the 2002 edition. During 2001 and 2002, she won seven major worldwide snowboarding competitions, which included the gold medal in the women\'s halfpipe at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and first place at the Winter X Games. Clark became the first female snowboarder to be nominated for, and hence to win, an ESPY Award. Americans won both times the accolade was given out with fellow snowboarder Shaun White being voted the only male winner of the award at the 2003 ceremony. The Best Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award was by gender in 2004, since which year Best Female Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award and the Best Male Action Sports Athlete ESPY Award have been presented

> It\'s such a big taboo to be gay in my line of work, I had to think very hard about it because I didn\'t want to jeopardise my career. Coming out was very difficult and I tried to live with who I really was for years. I knew I was \'different\' from my late teens, but I was just living a lie.
Shortly after the 2007 Rugby World Cup, Owens was named \'Gay Sports Personality of the Year\' at gay rights group Stonewall\'s awards ceremony in London. He was a patron of the LGBTQ Centre of Excellence Wales, until its disbandment in late 2012, but he is still patron of the Wooden Spoon Society rugby charity. In 2013 Owens became a patron of Bullies Out charity in Wales. Owens was subjected to racist and anti-gay abuse when refereeing England and New Zealand in November 2014, according to a letter in The Guardian. This was reported by a fan and resulted in the two spectators responsible being banned from Twickenham for two years. In 2015, Owens was named \'Gay Sports Personality of the Decade\' at Stonewall awards ceremony in London. He was named on the 2017 Pinc List of leading Welsh LGBT figures. In a 2019 interview with Wales Online, he admitted he once ordered a date to hide in the toilets at Pizza Hut when Wales international Dwayne Peel and his girlfriend walked in. In Dublin, for the launch of Europe\'s largest LGBT+ inclusive rugby tournament, Owens was speaking about his own experiences and the difficulty of coming out as gay while working in sport.
In 2011 he was made a member of the Gorsedd of Bards. In the 2016 Birthday Honours, Owens was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to sport, and was awarded an honorary fellowship from Cardiff University in July of the same year. Owens has served as secretary, chairman and president of the Wales Federation of Young Farmers Clubs and is a fan of Wrexham Football Club.
His long-term partner is Barrie Jones-Davies, a primary school teacher from Llandovery. In October 2019, Jones-Davies joined Owens in Tokyo to support him during the Rugby World Cup and married 10 August 2024

# Passio (Pärt)
***Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi secundum Joannem*** (The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to John), also known as the ***St. John Passion*** or simply **Passio**, is a passion setting by Arvo Pärt for solo baritone (Jesus), solo tenor (Pilate), solo vocal quartet (Evangelist), choir, violin, oboe, cello, bassoon and organ. The work lasts approximately 70 minutes and is a setting of the Latin text from the Gospel of John, chapters 18 and 19, plus a brief introduction and conclusion.
## History
When Pärt left Estonia for Austria in 1980, he took with him the first sketches for the *St. John Passion,* which would become the culmination of the tintinnabuli style. He eventually finished the work in 1982 and it was published in 1989. Since then, it has been recorded four times, and remains one of his most popular works. In much the same way that Pärt was inspired by medieval music in his creation of tintinnabuli, here too he is inspired by the earliest monophonic settings of the Passion. The St. John Passion is a through-composed setting of the text of John 18--19, preceded by a short introduction (Exordio) and followed by a brief conclusion (Conclusio). He uses a baritone soloist for Jesus, a tenor for Pilate, and a Soprano-Alto-Tenor-Bass (SATB) quartet for the evangelist. In addition, there are four solo instruments, oboe, violin, cello and bassoon, organ and SATB choir. The work lasts about 70 minutes and is not broken into movements.
## Structure
In composing the work, text setting and declamation were foremost in Pärt\'s mind: all of the musical elements in the piece, from rhythm to pitch, are in some way determined by the text. Tonally, the work centers on a series of overlapping fifths: D-A-E-B. The rhythmic values are established by the text. Each character has a basic note value, and this is lengthened depending on the punctuation and its position within the phrase. Since a period at the end of a sentence generates a note longer than does a comma in the middle of it, the hierarchy of the textual phrases is reflected in the music.
Value assignment:
1. In the last word of a phrase ending with a comma, the stressed syllable would be medium.
2. In the last word of a phrase ending with a colon or period, each syllable would be long.
3. In the first word of a new sentence (or phrase beginning after a colon), the stressed syllable would be medium.
4. In the last word in a phrase ending with a question mark, each syllable would be medium.
5. Otherwise all syllables are short.
Pärt divides the Evangelist text into four sections (50 phrases each), plus a final concluding section of 10 phrases, for a total of 210. Each section begins with a different solo voice, an instrument then joins it, and this pattern continues until all 8 are sounding. The alto and bass voices and oboe and bassoon are always M-voices (Hillier\'s coinage, referring to the melody voice in a tintinnabuli configuration); the soprano and tenor voices and violin and cello are always T-voices (again, Hillier\'s coinage referring to the harmonizing voice). In the case where a T-voice is presented alone, the M-voice is simply implied.
Christ always has the longest and lowest notes, creating a stark contrast with the other characters. The pitch center for Christ is E, and it is accompanied by a drone and T-voice in the organ. For the turba, the pitch center is again E. The alto and bass voices, again always playing an M role, are mirrored, and the soprano and tenor T-voices alternate above and below the M-voices. While both are centered on E, the M-voices use E Phrygian against E major in the T-voices; this makes for striking cross-relations between G-natural and G-sharp, though the two never sound at the same time. Pilate, like Christ, is accompanied only by the organ, but sings in faster rhythmic values and has a higher tessitura. Pilate\'s part is the most unstable in the piece, created in part through the use of an M-voice centered on B and a T-voice centered on F (a tritone apart) and through the refusal of Pilate to be either a T-voice or M-voice, always alternating between these two roles.
## Reception
American composer Eric Whitacre used the two initial chords of the conclusion (*Qui passus es*) in his motet *Lux Aurumque*, applying them to the words *natum* (*new-born*) and thus linking birth and death of Christ to reincarnation.

# Pacific Mozart Ensemble
**Pacific Edge Voices** (formerly The Pacific Mozart Ensemble (PME)) is a volunteer choral organization based in Berkeley, CA. The group was formed to provide a chorus of professional quality for highly skilled and experienced singers who did not wish to make singing a full-time profession. It was to be large enough to perform the major concert literature, but small enough to remain highly selective. PEV presents a wide range of choral musical styles, including, but not limited to, traditional choral literature, new works by contemporary composers and a cappella jazz and pop. PEV performs at least three self-produced concerts sets each year, along with various collaborations, often with prominent artists including Dave Brubeck, Meredith Monk, Kent Nagano & Sufjan Stevens. The first and second concerts of the year (typically Nov and March) are classically oriented programs. Over the years these programs have tended toward 20th-century composers. The chorus has become known around the San Francisco Bay Area for its innovative programming. A particular highlight came in 2002 when the chorus performed Kurt Weill's Der Lindberghflug alongside works by Philip Glass, Meredith Monk and David Lang. The concert was presented in the East Bay on the aircraft carrier Hornet and in San Francisco in the newly constructed Aviation Museum at SFO. The 3rd concert set each year is an all a cappella 'pops' concert featuring the group in various formations from 2 up to 50, performing arrangements of jazz, pop, rock, & folk tunes.
## Origins
Pacific Edge Voices was formed, as Pacific Mozart Ensemble, in 1980 by members of Berkeley Chorus Pro Musica. The core group of singers had a history of singing together in the SF Bach Choir and the Presidio Protestant Post Chapel Choir. The decision to strike out on their own came when one of the members was informed that since he joined Pro Musica, there was "too much jocularity in the bass section." Shortly thereafter they reemerged as The Pacific Mozart Ensemble, rehearsing in the then new Julia Morgan Theater (alternate names for the group included the Morgan Tabernacle Choir).
First Performance: Sunday, June 28, 1980, 5 P.M.\-\-- Julia Morgan Centre for the Performing Arts, College Avenue, Berkeley, suggested donation \$3.50. Bach Cantata #106, \"Gottes Zeit ist der allerbeste Zeit\"; Songs by John Dowland; Mozart \"Vesperae Solennes de Confessore\" K.339\-\--
## Collaborations
PME had a long history with the Berkeley Symphony and Kent Nagano. In 2005 Nagano recruited PME to open the Symphony\'s season with the Ligeti's a cappella work *Lux Aeterna*. Other Berkeley symphony collaborations include Beethoven's Christus am Ölberge, Stravinsky\'s Symphony of Psalms and Oedipus Rex, San Francisco composer David Sheinfeld\'s The Earth Is a Sounding Board, Busoni\'s Doktor Faustus, Olivier Messiaen\'s St. François d\'Asisse, Beethoven\'s 9th Symphony, and Berlioz's Romeo and Juliet. In 2006 members of PME performed the world premier of Kurt Rohde's oratorio, Bitter Harvest.
In 2003 PME performed the Bernstein Mass with the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester under the direction of Kent Nagano at the Berlin Philharmonie. In 2005, the Harmonia Mundi recording of the concert was nominated for a Grammy.
In the 1990s, PME collaborated with Dave Brubeck on performances of his oratorios, including "Gates of Justice.\" In 2006 the relationship was renewed when PME commissioned Brubeck to fill in one of the missing movements of Mozart\'s Mass in C Minor for their 25th anniversary concert.
They collaborated on numerous occasions with Meredith Monk, most recently traveling to New York in 2005 to participate in the 40th Anniversary Concert in Carnegie Hall as well as a performance at the World Financial Center Winter Garden, broadcast on WNYC.
In the fall of 2006, members of PME performed with Sufjan Stevens at Zellerbach Hall and John Zorn at Hertz Hall in Berkeley, CA.

# First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia
The **First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia** is a Unitarian Universalist congregation located at 2125 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a regional Community Center it sponsors cultural, educational, civic, wellness and spiritual activities.
On June 12, 1796, twenty of Philadelphia\'s intellectual leaders formed the First Unitarian Society of Philadelphia, becoming the first continuously functioning church in the country to name itself \"Unitarian\". The founders were directed and encouraged by the Unitarian minister Joseph Priestley, and its first settled minister was the Rev. Dr. William Henry Furness.
## William Henry Furness {#william_henry_furness}
The small but growing congregation was lay-led until 1825, when Rev. Dr. William Henry Furness was persuaded to serve as the first minister at the age of 22. Starting in the 1830s, Furness became one of the few abolitionist ministers in the city, known for his anti-slave sermons and Underground Railroad activities. His speeches were so impassioned that both he and the congregation feared reprisals from Southern sympathizers, so several members of the church quietly armed themselves and watched over the pulpit on Sundays. His attacks on the Fugitive Slave Law drew discussion in one of President Buchanan\'s cabinet meetings of indicting the minister for treason. Furness served as minister for 50 years, and remained involved in the church until his death in 1898.
## Architecture
### First building (1813--1828) {#first_building_18131828}
The Octagon Building (begun March 1812, dedicated February 14, 1813): The first church building, located at the northeast corner of 10th & Locust, was designed by Robert Mills, thought to be the first architect born and trained in the United States. Its octagonal shape was unusual for Philadelphia, however it followed the pattern of Unitarian churches in England such as the Octagon Chapel, Norwich (1756, Thomas Ivory) and Octagon Chapel, Liverpool (1763). These typically used an octagonal design in a symbolic move away from the traditional cross-shaped floor plans of orthodox Christian churches. The construction cost was approximately \$25,000 and the finished church seated 300 people.
### Second building (1828--1885) {#second_building_18281885}
Desiring a larger and more elegant edifice to reflect the growth of the congregation, church members voted to construct a second building. Using the same location (10th & Locust), the cornerstone of the \"Doric Building\" was laid on March 24, 1828. Greek Revival architecture was then very popular. Designed by William Strickland, this building was described in contemporary books as one of the most outstanding churches in the city. Dedicated on November 5, 1828, this remained the congregation\'s worship space until moving to the present site at 2125 Chestnut Street in 1885.
### Third building (1885--present) {#third_building_1885present}
Frank Furness, the architect of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and son of the Church\'s first minister, designed the current church building. Begun in 1883, and dedicated in 1885, it was completed in 1886. The tall pyramidal tower/porte cochere at the church\'s southeast corner was removed in the early 20th century.
The sanctuary features a hammer-beam ceiling, painted rust red and stenciled with gold-leaf daffodils, which is complemented by blue walls. The church\'s stained glass windows are by Louis Tiffany & Co. and John La Farge. Later additions include a concert-grade Casavant pipe organ with 3 manuals and 50 ranks. In addition to the sanctuary, the building also contains a basement level housing Griffin Hall, which includes a stage and commercial-size kitchen. The rear portion of the building contains the Parish Room for meetings, and a smaller chapel. The mezzanine and 3rd floors contain a variety of offices, meeting rooms, storage, and daycare facilities.
## Notable members {#notable_members}
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, the first woman of African descent to have her writings published in the United States, was a member of First Church from 1870 until her death in 1911. She is best known for her fiction and poetry, but was also a political activist and lecturer who promoted, civil rights, temperance, and women\'s rights.
Laura Matilda Towne, was one of the first Northern women to go south to work with freed slaves. Towne opened the Penn School, the first school for freedmen, while the Civil War was raging. Unlike most of those who went south at the time, Laura Towne made a life for herself on St. Helena Island, South Carolina, and ran the Penn School until her death in 1901.
Kevin Bacon was raised at the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia and had his first acting debut in a holiday pageant.

## Notable events {#notable_events}
The day after John Brown was executed, his body came to Philadelphia for a private vigil attended by William Henry Furness, then was taken to North Elba, New York, and buried. National Archivist, V. Chapman-Smith writes, \"A supporter of John Brown, who reached out to provide comfort and aid to Brown\'s wife, Furness was a prominent speaker at the Philadelphia \"Martyr Day\" (December 2, 1859) vigil at National Hall. Furness\' zeal against the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law captured attention at one of President Buchanan\'s cabinet meetings, where consideration was given to indicting Furness for treason!\"
When Martin Luther King Jr. was a seminary student in nearby Chester, Pennsylvania, he attended a lecture by Dr. Mordecai Johnson about how Mohandas K. Gandhi integrated Henry David Thoreau\'s theory of non-violent civil disobedience that inspired King\'s non-violent protests for civil rights. This lecture was reputed to have taken place at the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, but recent information uncovered by historian Patrick Duff in 2020 proved that this church was in fact the site of the lecture. The lecture took place on November 19th of 1950 at 3:45 pm. King was so moved by the speech that he followed Dr. Johnson back to the Fellowship House where they spoke into the night.
In April 2006, the church officially became a \"Welcoming Congregation\" to the bisexual, transgender, lesbian, and gay community. In 2007, Nathan C. Walker became its first openly gay minister.
In July 2010, executives from Monsanto visited the church to discuss the adoption of a code of ethics for the field of biotechnology, a sort of Hippocratic oath, akin to a doctor\'s pledge to \"do no harm\".
In February 2016, as part of a nationwide effort among UU congregations, the congregation unanimously adopted the following statement of support for the Black Lives Matter movement:
> In line with our commitment to affirming the inherent worth and dignity of all people, we, the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, declare that black lives matter. We support the Black Lives Matter movement and pledge our congregation\'s dedication to participating in anti-racist, anti-oppression work within our own community; to acknowledging our denomination\'s and our congregation\'s checkered racial history; and to serving as allies, witnesses, and partners in our country\'s continued struggle for racial justice and equity.
A corresponding banner was installed on the church porch, facing Chestnut Street.

## Culture and civic life {#culture_and_civic_life}
First Unitarian is a regional community center that provides meeting space on a non-discriminatory basis for many different groups and activities: yoga and aerobics classes, meditation, Narcotics Anonymous meetings, forums by the Americans for Democratic Action and Common Cause, Black Women\'s Art Festival, Islamic Relief Day of Dignity, Philadelphia Fringe Festival events, and citywide vigils honoring victims of violence in Philadelphia.
First Unitarian is home to a concert-grade Casavant pipe organ. With its convenient Center City location, First Church is known as a prime entertainment venue for all ages: Music-for-Children classes, classical music concerts by Dolce Suono, and for young indie rock fans, alternative and punk rock concerts. Music and Arts at First Philadelphia are among the strongest and most diverse of the Center City Philadelphia Churches.
In November 2007, *Rolling Stone* magazine featured the church as one of the top alternative rock venues thanks to the success of the events organized by R5 Productions in the basement, chapel, and sanctuary. Since the mid-90s, the church\'s basement, Griffin Hall, known colloquially as \"The Church\" or simply \"First Unitarian\" by show goers, has been a popular venue for small-scale independent music concerts in the city. The concerts have featured mostly punk and indie rock artists in the past but have expanded to include other genres as well.
## Children and daycare centers {#children_and_daycare_centers}
First Church is the longtime home of two daycare centers: the [Beacon Center](http://www.beaconcenterforchildren.com/) and [Little Miracles](http://www.littlemiraclesdaycare.com/). Both centers boast long-tenured staff. Members of First Church founded the Beacon Center in the early 1980s to exemplify the values of the church.
First Unitarian also draws parents of young children and youth with religious education programs that promote value-based learning about one\'s responsibility to one another and to the Earth. The Neighboring Faiths program teaches teens about the importance of other religious traditions and thereby promotes open-mindedness and respect. Child dedications, conducted with a thornless rose, are a special rite of passage for Unitarian Universalist families

# Mary Murillo
**Mary Murillo** (born **Mary O\'Connor**; 22 January 1888 -- 4 February 1944) was an English actress, screenwriter, and businesswoman active during Hollywood\'s silent film era.
## Early life {#early_life}
Mary was the illegitimate daughter of Sarah Mary Peacock (née Sunter). In 1894, her mother married Edward O\'Connor, a Roman Catholic Irish commercial traveller, and she was raised as **Mary O\'Connor**. She was the eldest of four sisters (she also had an elder stepsister, Isabel Peacock, who later appeared in American films as Isabel Daintry). She was educated at St. Monica\'s in Skipton, Yorkshire, and at the Convent of the Sacred Heart School in Roehampton. She adopted the professional name Mary Murillo after being compared in looks to a Murillo painting of the Madonna.
## Career
In 1908, she traveled to America with her stepsister to start a stage career, and in February 1909, she made her debut in the chorus of the Broadway musical comedy *Havana*. She toured the United States, finding only small parts until 1913, when she started sending scenarios to film companies. Her first script to be accepted was bought by the husband-and-wife team of Phillips Smalley and Lois Weber. Other commissions followed, and the first film known to be credited to her is 1914\'s *A Strand of Blond Hair*, a Vitagraph comedy short starring John Bunny and Flora Finch.
She wrote five melodramas for Theda Bara during the 1910s popularity of vamp films. She also wrote for Bara\'s Fox rival, Valeska Suratt. Murillo served as screenwriter for Fox Film from 1916 to 1917, then joining Norma Talmadge Productions in 1919. She returned to the UK in 1923 to work for Stoll Film Studios. She wrote the script for the hit French sound film *Accusée, levez-vous!* (1930). In 1936, she formed the company Opticolor to market in Britain a French motion picture colour system, Francita, developed by her husband, Maurice Velle, son of French film pioneer Gaston Velle, but the business failed after a disastrous demonstration of the system. She later worked for J. Arthur Rank, 1st Baron Rank\'s Religious Films Ltd.
A selection of films made by Murillo, Maurice Velle, and Gaston Velle was featured at Il Cinema Ritrovato film festival in Bologna in 2015

# El Roi
**El Roi** (*ʾĒl\]\] Rŏʾī*) is one of the names of God in the Hebrew Bible meaning \"The God who sees me\" or \"The God who sees.\"
Rashi translates it \"god of sight\", Joseph b. Isaac Bekhor Shor translates it \"god saw me\", Abraham Ibn Ezra, Bahya b. Asher, and Obadiah b. Jacob Sforno, \"god who appears\", David Kimhi, \"god I saw\" or \"visible god\", and Levi b. Gershon as \"all-seeing god\".
This name appears in the Book of Genesis, specifically in Genesis 16:13, and is unique because it is spoken by Hagar, an Egyptian servant of Sarai (Sarah), Abraham\'s wife.
## Context in Genesis 16 {#context_in_genesis_16}
Hagar, after becoming pregnant by Abraham (at Sarai's urging, because Sarai was barren), begins to experience mistreatment and jealousy from Sarai. Feeling oppressed, Hagar flees into the wilderness.
There, an angel of the Lord appears to her near a spring and tells her to return to Sarai, while also delivering a prophecy that her son, Ishmael, will become the father of a great nation. After this encounter, Hagar is deeply moved, and she says:
"You are the God who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the One who sees me." (Genesis 16:13, NIV)
She then calls the name of the Lord who spoke to her El Roi, recognizing that even as a lowly, mistreated servant, she was seen and acknowledged by God. This is profound because it shows a deeply personal and intimate understanding of God's attention and care---even for someone on the margins

# Americo Sbigoli
**Americo (Amerigo) Sbigoli** (died January 1822) was an Italian tenor.
He is best known for the unusual manner of his death, as documented by the composer Giovanni Pacini. Singing the second tenor part in a performance of Pacini\'s opera *Cesare in Egitto*, Sbigoli took part in a vocal quintet with first tenor Domenico Donzelli. In the course of the quintet, Sbigoli\'s character was to sing a phrase \"closely resembling one sung just previously by Donzelli\". Attempting to match Donzelli\'s powerful voice, Sbigoli overstrained himself, burst a blood vessel in his neck, and died shortly thereafter.
While tragic in and of itself, this incident also had a small but significant impact on the course of music history, as Sbigoli was scheduled to sing the role of Abenamet in the premiere of Gaetano Donizetti\'s opera *Zoraida di Granata* at the Teatro Argentina. No other tenors were available to replace Sbigoli, and the premiere was no more than a week or two thereafter, on January 28; thus, Donizetti had to hurriedly revise the opera, transforming the tenor Abenamet ---a military general--- into a newly created role for female contralto. Despite this last-minute revision, the opera was hugely acclaimed upon its premiere, and marked Donizetti\'s first major success, boosting his career immeasurably.
According to the diary of Prince Agostino Chigi, the Teatro Argentina held a benefit on Feb. 15, 1822 for the widow and children of Americo Sbigoli, raising six thousand lire

**Adalelm** (died 8 April 894) was the Count of Troyes from 886 to his death. He was a son of Emenon, Count of Poitou, and a Robertian.
He succeeded his maternal uncle Robert I, Count of Troyes, in 886. In 891, he organised the transferral of the abbey of Saint-Loup to within the walls of the town. In 893, he confirmed the donation of Chaource to the abbey of Montiéramey, made originally by his uncle. In 894, he and his brother Adhemar of Poitou attacked Aurillac, but he died fifteen days after.
He does not seem to have had any children by his wife Ermengard. Richard, Duke of Burgundy, profited from the troubles that followed his death to seize the county of Troyes
