# Thomas Clayton (American football)
**Thomas Clayton** (born April 26, 1984) is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles and Kansas State Wildcats. Clayton was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL draft.
He was also a member of the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals.
## Early life {#early_life}
Clayton was born in Germany on April 26, 1984. Clayton grew up in the Washington DC metropolitan area where he attended Mount Vernon High School in Alexandria, Virginia, where he was a SuperPrep All-American running back. He was named to the USA Today All-USA team and was rated the eighth best running back nationally by Rivals.com and participated in U.S. Army All-American Bowl As a senior, he rushed for more than 2,000 yards.
## College career {#college_career}
Clayton began his college football career at Florida State University as a true freshman in 2002, rushing for 45 yards on 13 attempts. Clayton made his final appearance as a Seminole, playing in the 2003 Sugar Bowl. Following the BCS Bowl, Clayton then transferred to Kansas State University, where he sat out the 2003 season under NCAA transfer rules. In 2004, Clayton appeared in 10 games serving as primary backup to Darren Sproles. He finishing with 14 carries for 71 yards. In 2005, with the departure of Darren Sproles to the NFL, Clayton\'s junior year looked to be promising. Picking up where Sproles left off, Clayton looked to be Kansas State\'s new bell cow, shredding opposing defenses for an average of 164.5 yards per game and 7.7 yards per rush. Leading the nation in both rushing yards per game, and yards per carry after week 3, Clayton was off to one of the best starts in school history, piling up 329 yards in the first two games. It was the most rushing yards in school history for the first two games of a season. He needed 221 yards to equal the best three-game start in school history and 70 yards for the second-best start, and against a feeble University of North Texas opponent coming week 4, Clayton would have had no problem accomplishing that had he not been suspended due to an arrest during the team\'s week 3 bye. \"Thomas Clayton, the nation\'s leading rusher, was arrested Friday and charged with aggravated battery, stemming from a Sept. 16 altercation involving a university parking services employee.\" Obviously slowed down by this arrest, Clayton found himself in the dog house after such a promising start. Working himself back into good grace with the team, Clayton was able to finish the 2005 season with two strong games against Nebraska (85 yards) and Missouri (104 yards), allowing him to finish as the team\'s leading rusher with 637 yards and 5 total touchdowns. In 2006, Clayton entered the season ranked amongst the nation\'s top 10 returning senior running backs. However, with the retirement of head coach Bill Snyder, and the hiring of Ron Prince, Clayton was not able to match his 2005 success. With obvious friction between Clayton and Prince, Clayton only started 4 games his senior year, finishing the year with 338 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns before parting ways with the team after week 6, for undisclosed reasons. Clayton\'s best game in 2006 came in week 3 against Kansas State\'s highest ranked opponent, #5 Louisville Cardinals, where he rushed for 119 yards on 15 carries, one of which went 69 yards for a touchdown. He also hauled in five passes for 34 yards.
Though Clayton only participated in 4 games his senior season, NFL scouts felt he displayed plenty of upside in his junior season to receive a 2007 NFL Combine invitation. Clayton also participated in the 2007 Senior Bowl. Clayton was a late addition to the 2007 Senior Bowl roster.

# Louise Fishman
**Louise Fishman** (January 14, 1939 -- July 26, 2021) was an American abstract painter. For many years she lived and worked in New York City, where she died.
## Biography
Louise Fishman was born in Philadelphia on January 14, 1939. She was of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage. Her mother and her aunt were artists. She identified as queer and feminist.
Fishman attended the Philadelphia College of Art (now University of the Arts) between 1956 and 1957. In 1958 she attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. After being successful at both schools she went on to receive her BFA and BS at the Tyler School of Art (now Tyler School of Art and Architecture) in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, and in 1965 she secured her MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana--Champaign.
Following her MFA degree, Fishman worked as a library assistant at the Cooper Hewitt Museum from 1966 to 1968, and also served as an adjunct instructor at the college.
## Artistic career {#artistic_career}
Fishman\'s painting style at first gave her some trouble in being recognized. She exhibited only occasionally in the 1960s, a period in her life when she produced primarily grid-based work. During the later 1970s her abstract work was linked with Pattern painting. Large scale works like *Grand Slam* (1985) and *Cinnabar and Malachite* (1986) reflected her bold visions, and caused many reviewers to label her work as having elements of neo-expressionism.
In 1980 she was one of the ten invited artists whose work was exhibited in the main event of the Great American Lesbian Art Show.
As the feminist movement gained strength in the 1970s, Fishman abandoned her minimalist-inspired, grid-like paintings and began making work that reflected women\'s traditional tasks. These pieces required the sort of repetitive steps that characterize activities like knitting, piecing, or stitching. Returning later to the masculine realm of abstract painting, Fishman still sought a way to distinguish what she was doing from the work of male artists, both historic and contemporary. The resulting compositions combine gestural brushwork with an orderly structure: it is as if Fishman built or wove---her paintings, starting from a foundation and carefully adding to them, layer upon interlocking layer.
In 1988, Fishman accompanied a friend who survived the Holocaust at both Auschwitz and Terezin. This trip was part of a larger one that took her to Warsaw, Prague, and Budapest. This trip had a dramatic impact on her life as an artist, altered her way of working, and helped her to \"investigate her Jewish identity.\" She returned with ashes, cremated human remains -- from Auschwitz. She mixed the ashes with beeswax to use in her paints for the series *Remembrance and Renewal*. These paintings served as abstract art as well as memorials to a tragic and obscene event in history.
In the early 1990s she returned to painting grids in a slightly altered format. This can be seen in works such as *Sipapu* (1991) and *Shadows and Traces* (1992)
The organization of Fishman\'s work derived ultimately from the grid, which was key 35 years ago, is vestigially apparent though less and less important. Some of the mark-making in the current paintings inclines toward writing, as has been true for around a decade.
In the fall of 2011, Fishman completed her residency at the Emile Harvey Foundation in Venice. She cited her residency in Venice as an important influence on her most recent work. Likewise, the work of Venetian artist Titian was an important inspiration during this period of her work.

# Indatraline
**Indatraline hydrochloride** (**Lu 19-005**) is an antidepressive agent and non-selective monoamine transporter inhibitor that blocks the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin with similar efficacy to cocaine. This compound may be used to treat cocaine addictions as its effects have a slower onset and a longer duration than those of cocaine. Indatraline has been shown to block the action of methamphetamine and MDMA in laboratory experiments.
## Methylation
Indatraline is *N*-alkylated at the amino group, making it possible to slow the onset of action, so that it is not until *N*-demethylation occurs that the molecules become active. *N*-methylindatraline has a longer duration than indatraline because norindatraline is inactive, whereas demethylating *N*-methylindatraline does not terminate the actions of the parent compound.
Effects of *N*-dimethylindatraline start about 20--30 minutes after administration; it takes a longer time for this chemical to absorb into the body than cocaine.
## Synthesis
Two main routes have been reported. The first route was reported by Bøgesø and co-workers.
The other has been adapted to scale-up:
Another method involves the contraction of a dihydronaphthalene (6--6 fused system) to form the 6--5 indane skeleton.
Routes based on 1-indanone-type intermediates are not as simple as a direct reduction of an imine or oxime. The undesirable cis diastereomers are formed instead of the desirable trans isomers. This adds an extra step to the synthetic route. First, the ketones are reduced to mostly cis alcohols. Second, the cis alcohols are converted to the corresponding mesylates, conserving stereochemistry. Third, the mesylates can then be reacted, e.g. with, *N*-methylbenzylamine, causing a Walden inversion (SN2). Finally, the removal of the benzyl affords the product as a racemic mixture

# Brady C. Jefcoat Museum
The **Brady C. Jefcoat Museum of Americana** is a museum in Murfreesboro, North Carolina, USA. Operated by the Murfreesboro Historical Association, the museum houses a collection of American artifacts from the 1850s to the 1950s collected by Brady C. Jefcoat of Raleigh, North Carolina, a local plumber, electrician and general contractor.
The museum\'s collections include an assortment of glassware, household domestic items, farm tools and equipment, period furniture and many other artifacts. Item collections include toasters, washing machines, irons, churns, music boxes, radios, phonographs, Daisy air rifles, mousetraps, maple syrup taps, beekeeping equipment, mounted animals and dairy equipment filling more than 17,000 square feet of display space. There are over 18,000 items on display.
Opened in 1997, the museum is located in the old Murfreesboro High School.
Brady C. Jefcoat spent 35 years collecting everyday objects, with phonographs being among his favorites. As the story goes, the Smithsonian wanted to display the collection, however, Jefcoat decided to give the items to the Murfreesboro Historical Society. In their hands, he was assured the entire collection would be displayed The historical society then turned the old Murfreesboro High School into a museum, filling it with the collection. The attention given to these everyday items is astonishing. Each room in the museum has a theme, for example, one room is dedicated to washing machines. Then there are the lovely small collections housed in the hallways, such as a shelf filled with decorative tape measures.
The annual Roanoke-Chowan Pork-Fest, a North Carolina barbecue cooking competition, picnic and festival, is held on the grounds of the museum each May to raise money for the museum\'s maintenance.
The Association also owns and operates the William Rea Museum, tours of the Dr. Walter Reed House, John Wheeler House, the Agriculture and Transportation Museum, the Vincent-Deale Blacksmith Shop, the Evans Tinsmith Shop, the F. Roy Johnson Print Shop, the Winborne Historical Law Office and Country Store, and the Hertford Academy. The Association\'s office is located in the Roberts-Vaughan House

# Capstone Program
The **Capstone Program** was a United States government-funded aviation safety program for the state of Alaska, primarily focusing on rural areas of the state. This joint effort -- between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Alaska Pilot\'s Association, commercial operators, the University of Alaska, MITRE Corporation, some avionics manufacturers and individual pilots -- cut the accident rate in the eastern part of Alaska by around 40%.
The program ran from 1999 until 2006, when the FAA integrated it into the national automatic dependent surveillance -- broadcast (ADS--B) program.
## Background
Alaska is the largest state in the United States by area, but is one of the smallest in population. In the late 1990s, one out of every 58 people in the state was a pilot, with six airplanes for every ten pilots. With a very limited highway and railroad infrastructure, aviation emerged as an essential (and sometimes the only) transportation system. However, the vital infrastructure supporting aviation fell short of the standards commonly expected or encountered elsewhere in the US.
## History
### Flight 2000 proposal and program development {#flight_2000_proposal_and_program_development}
In early 1997, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began developing a proposal entitled \"Flight 2000\". This proposal envisioned rapid deployment and field demonstration of advanced avionics capabilities leading toward implementation of free flight. The proposal was not well received by all segments of the aviation industry, and the industry\'s RTCA (Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics) Select Committee on Free Flight endorsed a revised approach that included most Flight 2000 program activities. The revised approach was documented in the \"Joint Government/Industry Roadmap for Free Flight Operational Enhancements\".
Within the Alaskan Region, Flight 2000 served as the \"capstone\" for many additional initiatives, providing a common umbrella for planning, coordination, focus, and direction with regard to development of the future National Airspace System (NAS). A few additional \"technology-driven\" initiatives supportive of Flight 2000 are recommended in a March 1995 National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Alaska Safety Study, inextricably linked to the earlier proposal. As an example, the additional aviation weather observing systems the NTSB called for in Alaska relies on the Flight 2000 Flight Information System element to provide the information developed via data link to the pilot.
A key objective of Flight 2000 had been to accelerate implementation and use of modern technology; however, uncertainties surrounding that program actually slowed the transition. Several Alaskan avionics installers reported customers seeking to acquire GPS equipment deferred investing as they waited for Flight 2000.

# Capstone Program
## History
### Program implementation {#program_implementation}
Within Alaska, Capstone linked several initiatives to coordinate between the FAA, community, and industry. Capstone outlined the process and scope for upgrading the operating infrastructure with airports, weather products, communications, and GPS-driven systems.
A major objective was to improve safety in Alaska while offering efficiencies to operators. Many accidents could be eliminated through improved situational awareness for both pilots and controllers. For this reason, the Alaskan Region supported efforts to enhance the NAS and become a test bed for new technology. A study of 112 air-carrier accidents during a three-year period in Alaska indicated a likely 38% safety improvement from modern technology.
The Free Flight Operational Enhancements Program (FFOEP) identified nine enhancements. Although field deployment of these enhancements was not scheduled to begin in Alaska until the fiscal year 2000, a limited early deployment was within reach and highly desirable. It was thought that early deployment would have a positive effect on safety, create an infrastructure to permit initial procedure development, familiarize flight crews, controllers, and avionics installers with modern equipment and concepts, and address certification issues and procedures prior to the actual start of the FFOEP evaluation. Early deployment would also serve to validate the overall concept identified in the joint Government/Industry Roadmap.
During the fiscal year 1999, the Alaskan Region\'s \"Capstone\" Program tied together three of the nine principal elements identified in the \"Joint Government/Industry Roadmap for Free Flight Operational Enhancements\" with two safety initiatives from the March 1995 NTSB Alaska Safety Study. Operational enhancements included in Project Capstone are:
- flight information system for special use airspace, weather, windshear, NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen), and pilot reports
- cost-effective controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) avoidance through graphical position display
- enhanced \"see and avoid\" visual flight rules (VFR)
The concept of conducting a real-world demonstration of these and other capabilities in Alaska was originally proposed for inclusion in the FAA\'s Flight 2000 Program.
The Alaskan Region identified the following FFOEP elements and related NTSB safety improvements for limited deployment in the fiscal year 1999:
- The Alaskan Region\'s Capstone Program brought together several initiatives, some ongoing, some proposed, in order to make the flying community safer and more efficient while validating the deployment and operation of technology in the Bethel hub and surrounding area. It supports planning efforts of the FFOEP developed by the RTCA Select Committee by providing a cost-effective and efficient method to demonstrate the program\'s implementation processes.
- A Capstone Field Office was established in Anchorage, reporting to the Alaskan Regional Administrator to plan, coordinate and implement the project. Infrastructure and interim procedures and certification processes would be developed in conjunction with the respective Alaskan Region Divisions responsible for them. Equipage of evaluation aircraft would be voluntary, with the Capstone program absorbing the cost of equipping and certifying. Capstone built an infrastructure consistent with the FFOEP, thereby enabling further procedure development and evaluation leading toward overall modernization.
The Capstone program consisted of two phases in different geographical areas of Alaska. Phase 1, which was conceived in 1998 and implemented in 1999, was centered in the Yukon--Kuskokwim (Y--K) Delta area of southwestern Alaska. Phase 2, which began in 2001, encompassed Southeast Alaska. Phase 3 would be implemented statewide using the technologies developed and proven in Phase 1 and 2.

# Capstone Program
## History
### Program implementation {#program_implementation}
#### Phase 1 {#phase_1}
The Y--K Delta area of southwestern Alaska, the focal point for Capstone\'s Phase 1 activities, typified most of the state in terms of transportation infrastructure. No roads connected the more than fifty villages in the 100,000 sqmi area, and even within the villages, there were few roads. The community of Bethel, the aviation hub and largest settlement in the area, had only 15 mi of mostly unpaved roads.
Under Phase 1, a fleet of small commercial aircraft evaluated safety benefits of technologies during day-to-day operations in Alaska. The aircraft was fitted with instrument flight rules (IFR) capable GPS receivers, a universal access transceiver (UAT) data-link system that enabled automatic dependent surveillance -- broadcast (ADS--B), and flight information service (FIS) including real-time weather, and a multifunction display (MFD) depicting terrain, other ADS--B aircraft, weather graphics and text data. The bundle of avionics were installed on 200 aircraft used for commuting, chartering, and mail flights in southwest Alaska. The avionics improved the pilot\'s situational awareness with the primary goal of preventing controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) and mid-air accidents.
The lack of a usable IFR infrastructure and radar coverage combined with the harsh weather conditions caused Alaska to have a high rate of CFIT accidents. Pilots, departing for VFR-only destinations with the intention of maintaining visual separation with terrain or water, continued flying toward their destination after encountering marginal weather conditions which would normally involve instrument flight operations. The terrain-awareness function of the Capstone avionics provided ground proximity functionality. The terrain function showed terrain via an intuitive high-resolution color display using black, green, yellow and red to indicate the proximity of the terrain to the aircraft. The avionics continuously monitored the aircraft\'s altitude, GPS-derived position, ground speed, and route of flight, and compared this data to a built-in database of terrain elevation. The display automatically provided a terrain advisory to the pilot if the aircraft was within two minutes of a close encounter with the ground.
Second to CFIT accidents was mid-air collisions. Capstone sought to address this by using ADS--B technology to reduce airborne collisions. ADS--B-equipped aircraft continuously broadcast their position whether they are flying or taxiing on the airport surface. Displayed on the multifunction display, ADS--B gave pilots a clear view of the other ADS--B traffic around them. When the Capstone aircraft were flown to a radar service area, such as exists in Anchorage, a capability called Traffic Information Service -- Broadcast (TIS--B) depicted non-ADS--B aircraft on the MFD as well.
A network of data-link ground-stations has been installed at eleven existing FAA and joint-use military facilities in the Phase 1 region, and connected via existing communications systems to the Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center. The existing Micro Enroute Automated Radar Tracking System (Micro-EARTS) had been programmed to depict ADS--B targets on the air traffic controller displays fused with radar targets. ADS--B aircraft position reports were also made available to airport traffic controllers in Bethel and to the commercial-aircraft operators via the Internet for flight-monitoring purposes.
As part of the initial Capstone initiative, the FAA purchased, installed, and maintained the avionics for the 5-year evaluation period. In return, participants assisted the program by providing evaluation data so that safety and operational benefits could be identified and documented. Ownership of the avionics was transferred to the participating operators in December 2004. The initial evaluation concentrated on an affordable means to reduce CFIT and provide the pilot with an enhanced means to see nearby traffic and receive current weather in the cockpit.
The Capstone program provided training for pilots, operators, safety inspectors, air traffic control specialists, and technicians to ensure that the greatest benefits resulting from evaluation activities were realized. To support this technology, 19 GPS stand-alone non-precision instrument approach procedures were prepared and published for runways of ten remote village airports within the Phase 1 evaluation area. Also, an automated weather observation system (AWOS) was installed at these airports to enable air-carrier use of the new non-precision GPS instrument approach procedures.
The natural boundaries of the Y--K Delta confined the operation of most of the participating aircraft to the area, with Bethel as the operating hub, and also limits the radar coverage below 6,000 feet (from sea level). Capstone provided an IFR infrastructure for Bethel and nine additional airports in the Y--K Delta, and made radar-like ADS--B coverage possible throughout the area. To enable air traffic services (ATS) to use ADS--B in the Bethel non-radar environment, Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center\'s equipment was modified to display ADS--B data together with available radar on the air traffic controller display.
To document the results, Capstone enlisted the help of the University of Alaska at Anchorage (UAA) and the MITRE Corporation. The university documented a baseline of current operations and tracked, evaluated and documented the improvements as they occurred. UAA also provided crew training on the Capstone avionics equipment. The initial results showed a 40 percent reduction in accidents had resulted from the Capstone Program.

## History
### Program implementation {#program_implementation}
#### Phase 2 {#phase_2}
Under Phase 2, the Capstone Program concentrated efforts in the terrain-constrained area of Southeast Alaska. Again, in partnership with the aviation industry, Capstone worked to improve safety and access to that area using lessons learned from the Phase 1 program in the Y--K Delta, as well as incorporating other technologies to further improve surveillance and navigation capability. Phase 2 also included a demonstration of technology aimed at reducing the potential for runway incursion accidents. In addition to the CFIT and mid-air concerns one of the critical elements needed in Southeast Alaska was a usable IFR infrastructure.
Southeast Alaska is a very rugged environment of mountains and ocean. Forested islands create the state\'s famous Inside Passage. In many areas the ocean comes directly up to the base of tall, majestic mountains capped by glaciers and ice fields. Although access to most settlements in the Southeast is available by boat, the lengthy travel time makes it impractical for everyday and emergency use. A less-than-two-hour journey from Ketchikan to Juneau by air requires sixteen hours by boat, and a voyage on the ferry from Bellingham, Washington to Juneau, Alaska takes over 50 hours.
Over 45 communities are scattered throughout Southeast Alaska on islands and the mainland. Juneau, the capital, is the largest. Only three of the cities, Haines, Hyder and Skagway, are reachable by road via the Alaska--Canadian Highway. Even these, because of the lengthy drive, depend on aviation for most of their transportation needs.
Flying in this area was very different due to the constraints of the terrain. The Minimum En Route Altitude (MEA) of the airways were typically above the altitudes that the general aviation fleet of aircraft could safely fly without encountering icing conditions, even in the summer.
Legacy en route navigation aids required land-based sites where power was available and maintenance crews had access. This land-based system resulted in a traditional IFR route structure that was not optimized for the terrain or typical small aircraft users in Southeast Alaska. The technology that changed this and put the routes and approaches where they were needed, at low altitudes over the fjords, was the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS).
Basic GPS service failed to meet the accuracy, availability, and integrity (the ability of a system to provide timely warnings to users or to shut itself down when it should not be used for navigation) requirements critical to safety of flight. The bottom line for assessing a navigation system is its \"availability\". A system that fails to meet prescribed standards for accuracy, integrity, or other specifications is not truly available for use, although even the raw GPS signal in Alaska was better than the FAA\'s legacy systems. The traditional VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) and automatic direction finder (ADF) ground-based en-route system has an availability rate of 98.5%. The GPS signal had an availability of about 99.9% and was available over a much wider area.
Being able to receive the WAAS signal improves basic GPS accuracy to approximately 7 m vertically and horizontally, improves system availability through the use of navigation satellites placed in geostationary Earth orbits (GEOs) and provides important integrity information about the entire GPS constellation.
WAAS provides the safety-critical navigation system that allowed the Capstone program to design airways and approaches where they can be best-used by the aviation industry in Southeast Alaska. Capstone utilized WAAS receivers on all participating aircraft. The WAAS signal was the basis for new IFR routes and procedures that were designed to serve low-flying aircraft throughout Southeast Alaska. The first air-carrier validation flights by Harris Air, located at Sitka, Alaska, took place in March 2005 and resulted in FAA approval.
WAAS delivered the safety assurances essential for building a new U.S. navigation and air traffic management system based on cost-effective satellite technology. The WAAS signal, which has been available for several years for non-critical use has an availability rate of 99.999%.
Capstone worked with the WAAS program office to help provide the WAAS signal to the Phase 2 Capstone equipment. Certification and initial installations of Capstone Phase 2 WAAS avionics took place in 2002.
Introduction of WAAS-based navigation and surveillance capabilities also required new regulatory provisions. On March 13, 2003, Special Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 97 was approved by FAA authorizing en-route IFR navigation in Alaska based solely on satellite technology without reference to ground radio-navigation stations.
New WAAS routes were also designed and charted to serve the entire state of Alaska. Conflict within the Air Traffic Organization resulted in the WAAS routes being NOTAMed out of service and later removed from public charting.
### End
In 2006, the FAA integrated the Alaskan Capstone project into the national Automatic Dependent Surveillance -- Broadcast (ADS--B) program

# Michael Salcman
**Michael Salcman** (born 1946) is an American poet and physician who lives in Baltimore, Maryland. His poetical work is infused and vivified by his medical profession, his love of and expertise in contemporary art, and by the fact that his parents were Holocaust survivors. His work is characterized by a lushness of diction, a strong moral focus, and a sense of playful imagery.
## Biography
The son of Holocaust survivors, he was born in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, and came to the United States in 1949.

# Searching the conformational space for docking
In molecular modelling, **docking** is a method which predicts the preferred orientation of one molecule to another when bound together in a stable complex. In the case of protein docking, the **search space** consists of all possible orientations of the protein with respect to the ligand. Flexible docking in addition considers all possible conformations of the protein paired with all possible conformations of the ligand.
With present computing resources, it is impossible to exhaustively explore these search spaces; instead, there are many strategies which attempt to sample the search space with optimal efficiency. Most docking programs in use account for a flexible ligand, and several attempt to model a flexible protein receptor. Each \"snapshot\" of the pair is referred to as a pose.
## Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations {#molecular_dynamics_md_simulations}
In this approach, proteins are typically held rigid, and the ligand is allowed to freely explore their conformational space. The generated conformations are then docked successively into the protein, and an MD simulation consisting of a simulated annealing protocol is performed. This is usually supplemented with short MD energy minimization steps, and the energies determined from the MD runs are used for ranking the overall scoring. Although this is a computer-expensive method (involving potentially hundreds of MD runs), it has some advantages: for example, no specialized energy/scoring functions are required. MD force-fields can typically be used to find poses that are reasonable and can be compared with experimental structures.
The Distance Constrained Essential Dynamics method (DCED) has been used to generate multiple structures for docking, called eigenstructures. This approach, although avoiding most of the costly MD calculations, can capture the essential motions involved in a flexible receptor, representing a form of coarse-grained dynamics.
## Shape-complementarity methods {#shape_complementarity_methods}
The most common technique used in many docking programs, shape-complementarity methods focus on the match between the receptor and the ligand in order to find an optimal pose. Programs include DOCK, FRED, GLIDE, SURFLEX, eHiTS and many more. Most methods describe the molecules in terms of a finite number of descriptors that include structural complementarity and binding complementarity. Structural complementarity is mostly a geometric description of the molecules, including solvent-accessible surface area, overall shape and geometric constraints between atoms in the protein and ligand. Binding complementarity takes into account features like hydrogen bonding interactions, hydrophobic contacts and van der Waals interactions to describe how well a particular ligand will bind to the protein. Both kinds of descriptors are conveniently represented in the form of structural templates which are then used to quickly match potential compounds (either from a database or from the user-given inputs) that will bind well at the active site of the protein. Compared to the all-atom molecular dynamics approaches, these methods are very efficient in finding optimal binding poses for the protein and ligand.

# Searching the conformational space for docking
## Genetic algorithms {#genetic_algorithms}
Two of the most used docking programs belong to this class: GOLD and AutoDock. Genetic algorithms allow the exploration of a large conformational space -- which is basically spanned by the protein and ligand jointly in this case -- by representing each spatial arrangement of the pair as a "gene" with a particular energy. The entire genome thus represents the complete energy landscape which is to be explored. The simulation of the evolution of the genome is carried out by cross-over techniques similar to biological evolution, where random pairs of individuals (conformations) are "mated" with the possibility for a random mutation in the offspring. These methods have proven very useful in sampling the vast state-space while maintaining closeness to the actual process involved.
Although genetic algorithms are quite successful in sampling the large conformational space, many docking programs require the protein to remain fixed, while allowing only the ligand to flex and adjust to the active site of the protein. Genetic algorithms also require multiple runs to obtain reliable answers regarding ligands that may bind to the protein. The time it takes to typically run a genetic algorithm in order to allow a proper pose may be longer, hence these methods may not be as efficient as shape complementarity-based approaches in screening large databases of compounds. Recent improvements in using grid-based evaluation of energies, limiting the exploration of the conformational changes at only local areas (active sites) of interest, and improved tabling methods have significantly enhanced the performance of genetic algorithms and made them suitable for virtual screening applications

# The Mormons (miniseries)
***The Mormons*** is a four-hour PBS documentary about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The production originally aired in two-hour segments on April 30 and May 1, 2007. It was produced by Helen Whitney, and was the first joint production of *Frontline* and *American Experience*.
## Content
The first segment is about the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It recounts the life of Joseph Smith, along with his First Vision and the subsequent visit of the Angel Moroni who gave him the golden plates, from which the Book of Mormon is said to be translated. The topic of anti-Mormonism is also discussed, followed by an episode about Mormonism and polygamy and the Mountain Meadows massacre.
The second segment is about the contemporary LDS Church. It profiles Mormon missionaries, followed by the September Six and a discussion of homosexuality and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The final parts cover Mormonism and women and the personal growth experienced by returned missionaries.
## Reviews
*The New York Times* said about the documentary: \"Yet the portrait of the modern-day church, which the program says has 12 million members worldwide, is compelling nonetheless.\" On the other hand, The *Boston Globe* criticised the documentary: \"*The Mormons* brims with informed talking heads -- church historians, journalists, church elders, and a constellation of happy Mormons. It would have helped to identify Mormon from non-Mormon but never mind. Mitt Romney appears briefly in a film clip but is never heard from; according to PBS, he declined to participate.\" Reuters however said: \"If there is a weak point to this hugely informative and watchable series, it may be the amount of time allocated in the second night to the practice of Mormon missions and the church\'s heavy-handed approach to critics. Regardless, this is a brilliant work on a engaging topic.\" *The Nation* was also disappointed by this documentary

# Bristol M.1
The **Bristol M.1 Monoplane Scout** is a British monoplane fighter of the First World War. It holds the distinction of being the only British monoplane fighter to reach production during the conflict.
During mid-1916, work commenced at Bristol on a new fighter aircraft as a private venture, headed by aeronautical engineer Frank Barnwell. The design was more radical than contemporary aircraft such as Airco\'s DH.5, which had a backward staggered biplane configuration. It featured a carefully streamlined circular cross-section fuselage built using conventional wood and fabric construction techniques to minimise manufacturing difficulty. On 14 July 1916, the first prototype, designated as the *M.1A*, conducted its maiden flight, flown by F.P. Raynham. During testing, the type quickly demonstrated its capabilities as a high speed aircraft for the era, possessing a maximum speed that was some 30 -- higher than any of the contemporary German Fokker *Eindecker* and French Morane-Saulnier N monoplanes.
Despite its promise, only 130 aircraft were constructed. This was largely due to an institutional mistrust of the monoplane platform held by the British War Office and many pilots of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) at that time, believing it to be accident-prone and inferior to the more common biplane configuration used by many of the M.1\'s contemporaries. As a consequence of the type being believed to possess too great a landing speed to be safely handled by the constrained French airfields on the Western Front, the M.1 was commonly deployed to the Middle East and the Balkans theatres instead. A single ace pilot, Captain Frederick Dudley Travers DFC of No. 150 Squadron RAF, flew the type, having successfully shot down several opponents. During December 1918, Lt. Dagoberto Godoy of the Servicio de Aviación Militar de Chile, flew from Santiago to Mendoza, Argentina, a feat which was recorded as being the first flight conducted across the Andes mountain chain.

# Bristol M.1
## Development
### Origins
During the First World War, rapid advances in the field of aeroplanes were being made amongst the participating nations, each side aiming to acquire an advantage over the enemy. In the summer of 1916, British aeronautical engineer Frank Barnwell, the chief designer of the Bristol Aeroplane Company, realising the performance of existing fighter aircraft to be inadequate, set about designing a new fighter aircraft as a private venture. For experimental purposes, several Bristol Scout D aircraft were outfitted 110 hp Clerget rotary engine and large-diameter propellers; considered to be a success, Barnwell decided to incorporate these features into his emerging design.
According to aviation author J.M. Bruce, Barnwell\'s project was broadly similar to a parallel programme by rival British aircraft manufacturer Airco, which would ultimately produce the DH.5; however, the Bristol aircraft was considered to be more radical and the superior of the two fighters. Specifically, Barnwell had exerted great efforts to produce the aerodynamically cleanest aircraft possible, save for compromises that were made to better facilitate both construction and maintenance activities. Accordingly, he selected a monoplane configuration for the type; Bruce declared this to be a \"bold conception\" due to the British War Office having effectively banned monoplanes from military service following several accidents.
During July 1916, the first example of the type, which received the designation of *Bristol M.1*, was rolled out at the company\'s Bristol facility. It was basically a single-seat tractor monoplane fighter. On 14 July 1916, the first prototype, designated as the *M.1A*, conducted its maiden flight, flown by F.P. Raynham. Reportedly, the aircraft showed its aptitude for high-speed flight during this initial flight, reaching a speed of 132 mph.
### Test programme {#test_programme}
Shortly following its maiden flight, the first prototype was purchased by the War Office for evaluation purposes. During late July 1916, the M.1A was dispatched to the Central Flying School (CFS) in Upavon, Wiltshire where it underwent testing. During official test flights, the M.1A demonstrated its impressive performance, being recorded as having attained a peak speed of 128 mph as well as the ability to ascend up to 10000 ft in 8 minutes 30 seconds. In addition, its stability was found to be positive, particularly its lateral handling, and the type to possess a \"moderate difficult of landing\".
However, some negative feedback was also gathered from the test pilots, which included criticism over the limited forward and downward view, it being relatively tiring to fly, and being nose-heavy when flown without the engine running. It was observed by the CFS that it had made no effort to establish the M.1A\'s maximum speed at ground level, noting that propeller had been designed to deliver peak performance when flown at altitude. In addition to the flight test programme, the prototype was also subject to static loading tests during August 1916, during which no sign of structural failure was found.
Having been suitably impressed by the sole prototype\'s performance, during October 1916, the War Office issued contract No. 87/A/761 to Bristol, ordering a batch of four modified aircraft, which were designated as *M.1B*, for further testing. The M.1A would also be rebuilt to the improved standard. The M.1B differed from the first prototype in several areas, possessing a more conventional cabane arrangement, consisting of a pyramid of four straight steel struts, along with a large clear-view cut-out panel in the starboard wing root to provide for an improved view during landing, and being armed with a single .303 in (7.7 mm) Vickers machine gun, which was mounted on the port wing root. On 15 December 1916, the first M.1B was delivered to the CFS.

## Development
### Rejection and limited production {#rejection_and_limited_production}
Throughout the development of the M.1, there was little importance placed upon the programme by the War Office; according to Bruce, the organisation appeared to be in no rush to decide its fate. The aircraft had demonstrated excellent performance during testing, possessing a maximum speed that was some 30 -- higher than any of the contemporary German Fokker *Eindecker* and French Morane-Saulnier N monoplanes. In addition to its aerial performance, ground-based structural tests had also produced very strong results. Bruce has also stated that production aircraft would have been available in advance of several of the iconic high-performance British fighters of the conflict, such as the Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 and the Sopwith Camel. However, the War Office continued to draw out its verdict for some time, preferring to opt for extensive trials and operational evaluations instead.
Ultimately, the M.1 was rejected by the Air Ministry for service on the Western Front, ostensibly because its landing speed of 49 mph was considered too high for small French airfields, however, comparative trials between the M.1A, the Airco DH.2, and the Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12 found them to have similar landing distances, while the landing speeds of both biplanes were only 5 mph slower. Bruce has speculated that a prejudice against monoplanes and a great distaste for the cockpit\'s limited downward view. had played a heavy role in its fate. This negative viewpoint was not universal as, according to Bruce, stories of the M.1\'s speed and manoeuvrability had quickly spread to front-line pilots, even to the point of enthusiastic rumours surrounding the type.
Some authors have made claims that the probable reason for the M.1 having been rejected came as a consequence of a widespread belief held at that time that monoplane aircraft were inherently unsafe during combat. The Royal Flying Corps (RFC) had imposed a service-wide ban on monoplanes after the crash of one of the Bristol-Coanda Monoplanes on 10 September 1912, and despite the subsequent 1913 Monoplane Committee having cleared the design type, there persisted a deep-rooted suspicion of monoplanes amongst pilots. This suspicion may also have been reinforced by the RFC\'s underwhelming experience with various Morane-Saulnier monoplanes, especially the Morane-Saulnier N, which had also been openly criticised for possessing a relatively high landing speed in comparison to biplanes. During this era, biplane configurations were normally stronger, being able to apply traditional calculations used in bridge construction by civil engineers to their design, and being easier to brace than monoplanes.
Nevertheless, on 3 August 1917, a production order for 125 aircraft was placed by the War Office. These aircraft, which were designated as the *M.1C*, were powered by a single 110 hp Le Rhône 9J rotary engine and were armed with a single Vickers machine gun, which was centrally mounted directly in front of the pilot. Of these, a single M.1, registered *G-EAVP* was rebuilt as a high-speed testbed for the Bristol Lucifer three-cylinder radial engine. This aircraft was designated the *M.1D*.
## Design
The Bristol M.1 was a single-seat tractor monoplane. It was powered by a single Clerget rotary engine, capable of generating up to 110 hp, which drove a relatively large twin-bladed propeller that was in turn furnished with a bulky hemispherical spinner for the purpose of reducing drag. The M.1 possessed a carefully streamlined circular cross-section fuselage, which featured conventional wood and fabric construction techniques to minimise manufacturing difficulty. The exterior of the aircraft, which was covered in fabric, was fully faired; this was a contributing factor to the type being referred by Bruce as \"one of the simplest and cleanest aircraft of its day\".
The M.1 was furnished with a shoulder-mounted wing that was attached to the upper longerons of the airframe. It was braced with flying wires which ran between the wing and the lower fuselage, as well as landing wires from the wings to a cabane comprising a pair of semi-circular steel tube hoops that were positioned over the pilot\'s cockpit; this was shaped in order to better facilitate the pilot\'s ingress and egress to their position in the cockpit. The wing possessed a wide semi-elliptical rearwards sweep at the tip, which meant that the front spar was considerably shorter than the rear and there being no inter-spar bracing being the end of the forward spar. To increase the downward vision available to the pilot, a sizable inter-spar cutout was present in the starboard wing root.

## Operational history {#operational_history}
It is believed that a total of 33 M.1Cs were deployed to the Middle East and the Balkans during 1917--18, while the remainder were predominantly assigned to numerous training units based across the British mainland. Reportedly, the type found a level of popularity as the personal mounts for various senior officers of the RFC. A single M.1C was also dispatched to France during 1917, although this is believed to have been for evaluation purposes only. Bruce claimed that there was a climate of official reluctance to deploy the M.1C, leading to the fighter being denied various opportunities to participate in operations.
According to the official historical account of No. 111 Squadron, the deployment of the M.1 to the Palestine theatre proved to frequently impinge upon the operations of enemy aerial reconnaissance operations, forcing them to typically operate from high altitudes. However, it is also noted that they had lacked the endurance necessary to conduct escort missions to support friendly long-range reconnaissance aircraft. The type was heavily used to perform ground attack missions against Turkish forces in the region. According to Bruce, the central spinner would often be removed when operating in hot conditions in order to better dissipate excessively high engine temperatures.
Perhaps the most successful M.1C pilot amongst those that served on the Macedonian front was Captain Frederick Dudley Travers DFC of No. 150 Squadron RAF, who became the only ace on this type. Travers switched from the Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a, in which he had scored three of his four kills, and scored the last five of his victories between 2 and 16 September 1918, possibly all in the same M.1C, serial number *C4976*. One of his victims was a Fokker D.VII, widely regarded as the best German fighter of its day.
During the second half of 1918, a batch of 12 M.1Cs were delivered to Chile to serve as part-payment for the battleships `{{Ship|Chilean battleship|Almirante Latorre||2}}`{=mediawiki} and *Almirante Cochrane*, which had been constructed for Chile in Britain but commandeered for use by the Royal Navy prior to their completion. One of these fighters, flown by Lt. Dagoberto Godoy, was used to fly from Santiago to Mendoza, Argentina and back on 12 December 1918, which was recorded as being the first flight to be made across the Andes mountain chain.
Following the signing of the Armistice of 11 November 1918, which effectively ended hostilities, a number of former military M.1s were resold into civilian service. In this capacity, the type was frequently used as a sporting and racing aircraft. The sole Lucifer-engined M.1D, painted red and registered G-EAVP, was successfully raced during 1922, winning the handicap prize in the 1922 Aerial Derby, piloted by L.L. Carter. The next year, it was fitted with a specially tuned 140 hp Lucifer engine and was entered for the Grosvenor Cup: however, the aircraft was lost following a crash at Chertsey, Surrey, on approach to Croydon Airport, resulting in the death of the pilot, Ernest Leslie Foot.

# Lange Wapper
**Lange Wapper** is a Flemish folkloric character. He is a legendary giant and trickster whose folk tales were told especially in the city of Antwerp and its neighbouring towns, but similar tales are also prominent in other Flemish cities.
His origin and character within folklore may be as follows. In a parsley bed, a farmer found a red cabbage that was so big it could not fit in a cauldron. Curiously feeling the vegetable, he found himself stroking the head of a baby. Because he could not care for the child, it was adopted by a family living in Antwerp. The child grew to be a strong, sensible boy who helped those in need. One day he saved an old woman from drowning in the Scheldt river, and she gave him the ability to make himself big or small. Because he preferred to appear in his tall form, he gained the nickname Lange Wapper. He would disguise himself as a child to receive breastmilk to drink, would vex drunkards, and would cheat children in games. His bleating laughter frightened the general public, who began to call him "water devil".
## Stories
In one story, a man sits in an inn in Antwerp. When he goes home, rather drunk, he hears footsteps behind him. He turns to see another man, who stops. When the first man walks faster, the other man speeds up. The first man begins to run, and the other man does too. The first man runs home and hides in bed, only for someone to knock at his window. It is Lange Wapper, as big as a house, who warns, \"If you get drunk again, I will break your neck!\"
In a second story, children are playing near Steenplein in Antwerp. Suddenly, a rich man approaches and hands out candy. The children follow the man toward Boom, but he suddenly disappears. The only thing the children hear is a devil\'s laugh. They realize that the man was Lange Wapper.
Another story is about Stans van \'t Gansken, a wheedling woman, who hides near a place in Antwerp where mothers abandon their newborn babies. Stans accosts these women and threatens that if they do not give her a large amount of hush money, she will tell everybody else that they abandoned their children. All the women pay her. One day, Stans finds a baby in front of her door. She takes the child, planning to abandon it. Suddenly, the baby turns into a giant---Lange Wapper. He beats Stans, and she is never again seen near the place where children are abandoned.
In a fourth story, a young woman lives near Groenplaats in Antwerp. She has four lovers and boasts that she can handle a fifth. One evening she invites the four lovers one by one to her house. One hour before the first lover arrives, someone knocks at the door; it is a man who introduces himself as her fifth lover and invites her to walk with him. Meanwhile, Lange Wapper hides in the woman\'s house and uses his shapeshifting ability to assume her form. As her lovers arrive, he assigns them different tasks: the first is sent to a cemetery to sit under a big cross, the second is sent to lie in a coffin under the cross, the third is sent to knock on the coffin until someone turns up, and the fourth is sent to walk around the cross with a large chain. Later, the four men and the woman die: The first man is scared to death when the second man crawls into the coffin. The second man is scared to death when the third one knocks on the coffin. The third dies of fright at the noise of the chain, thinking that the noise is made by the devil. The fourth man runs to the house of the woman, who is home from her walk, to tell his story. The woman is so scared that she dies of a stroke. The fourth man is driven insane and drowns himself in the river Scheldt. The fifth man is revealed to be an assistant of Lange Wapper.
## In Flemish culture {#in_flemish_culture}
- A planned but delayed controversial new bridge in Antwerp would have been called the `{{Interlanguage link multi|Lange Wapper bridge.|nl|3=Lange Wapperbrug}}`{=mediawiki}
- There is a statue of Lange Wapper in front of Het Steen in Antwerp.
- The giant appears in the Belgian comic series *Spike and Suzy* (*Suske en Wiske*), namely the album *De Zwarte Madam* (1947)

# WMJM
**WMJM** (101.3 FM \"Magic 101.3\") is an urban adult contemporary station licensed to Jeffersontown, Kentucky serving the Louisville metropolitan area owned and operated by Alpha Media. It currently carries the *Steve Harvey* Morning Show. The station\'s studios are located in downtown Louisville and the transmitter site is atop Wright Tower in east Louisville.
## History
The station signed on in 1978 as **WZZX** with an album-oriented rock format. Unable to gain traction against market-leader 102.3 WLRS, WZZX switched to an adult contemporary music format as **WJYL** \"The Joy of Louisville\" in 1981. This station struggled against AC competitor 103.1 WRKA, so it began adding top 40 music to its playlist, becoming a hot AC outlet. This move was successful, but short-lived. Following a sale, in 1984, WJYL adopted an urban contemporary format, becoming the first FM station in the Louisville market to target African-American listeners. On January 5, 1989, the station began stunting with a loop of \"Don\'t Let the Sun Catch You Crying\" by Gerry and the Pacemakers. It would be accompanied with a return to a Soft AC format, becoming **WLSY-FM** (\"Lite and Sunny\")
WLSY-FM was sold to the owners of mainstream urban contemporary WGZB-FM in 1994 and became an urban adult contemporary-formatted sister station to the younger-skewing WGZB. This FM-FM duopoly combination covered the entire demographic reach of Louisville\'s African-American radio listenership, and hastened competitor WLOU\'s decline as the longtime urban/black/soul formatted station for the Louisville market (WLOU switched to an urban gospel format in 1996). The call sign was changed to WMJM in 1996; shortly afterward, the station moved from its original 101.7 frequency to 101.3 in a swap with WTHQ, allowing the WMJM signal to move farther west and avoid violating FCC antenna separation distance rules with the former WLRS on 102.3 MHz.
WMJM was acquired by Alpha Media in July 2014, as part of its purchase of Main Line Broadcasting

# Fabio Vullo
**Fabio Vullo** (born 1 September 1964) is a retired Italian volleyball player.
Vullo, standing at 1.98 m for 87 kg, was born in Massa, and played as setter (although at the beginning of his long career was employed also as hitter). Vullo revolutionized the role of the setter, because he was, along with the Dutch Peter Blangé, one of the first setters in the world capable to set the ball from a greater height and to be dangerous in attack, block, and serve. Before Vullo and Blangé, most of the setters were much shorter (usually not taller than 1.90 m), but nowadays it is common to see setters who are over 2.00m tall, and are effective blockers and servers.
Despite being widely considered one of world\'s best setters ever, Vullo was rarely given playing time by the Italian national team, due to his conflicts with coach Julio Velasco. He therefore did not take part in many of the victories of that team during the 1990s. With the Italian national team, he only won one World League in 1992.
On the other hand, Vullo had a long and very successful career at club level in the Italian Serie A1, where he won eight Italian titles, seven Champions Leagues (four with Modena, three with Ravenna), one European Champions cup, and other less important trophies, both in Italy and in Europe.
Vullo stopped playing in 2004, and is currently working as a television commentator

Strophantidin is a cardiac glycoside which mechanism of action is similar to Digitalis, Ouabain and digitoxin. It specifically inhibits the membrane protein Na+/ K+ ATPase in muscle tissue (heart) which can lead to Ca2+ overload, diastolic dysfunction, arrhythmias and ultimately to heart failure and death. Native African tribes used Strophantidin among other toxins as arrow poison.
## History
### 1505
Arrow poison of the plant Acokanthera schimperi was found by the Portuguese at Melinde in East Africa. Acokanthera schimperi belonging to the family Apocynaceae is a small tree.
### 1858 -- 1863 {#section_1}
In 1858 -- 1863, the Scottish missionary and explorer, Dr David Livingstone, led a River Zambesi Expedition in Central Africa. In addition to other arrow poisons, Dr Meller found among the Manganja hills a specimen of *Strophanthus kombe* (a climbing plant of considerable size) at the end of 1861. This plant, specimen of the seed and the extracted arrow poison were sent to Sir W. J. Hocker at Kew Gardens Herbarium in England and also to Europe. Several species of Strophanthus were also used by natives of West Africa as sources of arrow poison including *S.hispidus*, *S. sarmentosus* and *S. gratus*. In 1862, Dr. William Sharpey, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology at University College, London, recognized the extract as a cardiac poison.
### 1865 -- 1885 {#section_2}
In 1865, Pelikan of St. Petersburg and also British Drs. Fagge and Stevenson recognized that the action of *Strophanthus* was similar to that of *Digitalis*, a foxglove plant. Thomas R. Fraser, Professor of material medicals and therapeutics in Edinburgh also worked on frogs, birds and mammals with that \"Kombe arrow poison\". He found that the primary action was on the heart, but noted that voluntary muscles were gradually impaired. In 1885, Fraser had isolated a glycoside from *S. kombe* and called it strophanthin, a result which he presented at a meeting of the British Medical Association in Cardiff. Galenical preparations of strophanthus came to be commonly prescribed for cardiac patients. The German pharmacologist, Oswald Schmiedeberg, had determined the glucosidal nature of digitalis in 1874. Devoid of nitrogen, glycosides are ether-type compounds, derived from sugars and hydroxyl compounds. Aglycone or genin is glycoside with a non-sugar, while glucoside is a glycoside with a sugar such as glucose. The strophanthin from seeds of *S. kombe* came to be called strophanthin-K, that from seeds of *S. hispidus* strophanthin-H and that from seeds of *S. gratus* or wood of *A. schimperi* was called strophanthin-G.
### 1900 - 1960 {#section_3}
Dr. Feilchenfeld of Berlin administered strophanthus as premedicant before anesthesia. Albert Fraenkel, pharmacologist in Heidelberg, saw strophanthus as therapeutical in cardiac failure (emergency cases initially). So strophanthin-K (Kombetin) were used oral and intravenous. In 1925, it was recognized that absorption of strophanthus from the gut was less complete than that of digitalis. As consequence, its oral use was declined, whereas IV use was increased. Between 1910 and 1935, Fraenkel reported tens of thousands IV injections of strophanthin without complications. Bruno Kisch (New York City) noted that ouabain (strophanthin-G) has a positive ionotropic activity and faster onset than digitalis. He also found out that the use of cardiac stimulant might alleviate myocardial depression in the presence of shock (first treatment on humans with shock was in 1950). Ouabain get used in anesthesia 1955 in Britain. But in 1960, sympathomimetic drugs as catecholamines were used in management of shock so that the use of strophanthin declined.
## Production K-Strophanthidin {#production_k_strophanthidin}
Strophanthin can be isolated from *Acokanthera schimperi* (family of Apocynaceae), from African plant sources (arrow poisons). Strophanthin-K can be found in seeds of S. kombe. Isolation of k-strophanthin can be done using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) followed by detection with electrospray ionization mass-spectrometry (ESI-MS) using RP-C-18 column (1% formic acid in water/acetonitrile as mobile phase). For details see \[17\]. \[5\] \[15\]

## Metabolism in the human body {#metabolism_in_the_human_body}
**K-strophanthidin** can enter the body by oral ingestion or intravenously. There is a significant difference in urinary excretion between those two possibilities. The half-life of k-strophanthidin when ingested orally is 23.3 hours whereas the half-life after intravenous injection is only 13.4 hours. After 24 hours already 80% of that compound is eliminated from the body. Most of the substance is excreted as a conjugated metabolites, only a small amount is excreted unchanged. There are three metabolic routes possible for k-strophanthidin. The first is the cleavage of the cymarose residue of cymarin (k-strophanthidin-alpha) which leads to k-strophantidin. Secondly, a reduction of C~19~ aldehyde group of cymarin or k-strophanthidin can take place. This results in the formation of cymarol and k-strophanthidol. The third important route is the conjugation of cymarin and its metabolites with glucuronate and sulfate at the sugar residue or C~3~ of the genin. This is the main route of urinary excretion. The metabolization routes do not differ considering the method of administration (orally or intravenously) so it is still unclear why the half-life differs that much.
## Medical use and effects {#medical_use_and_effects}
Cymarin (or k-strophanthidin) is a cardiac glycoside which works as an **inhibitor** of Na^+^ /K^+^-ATPase . This inhibition has an inotropic effect on the cardiac muscles increasing their force by approximately 100%. The inhibition of that protein leads to its major effect, an increase of the \[Na^+^\]~i~. This leads to an influx of Ca^2+^ via the Na^+^ /Ca^2+^-exchanger driven by the emerged Na^+^ gradient. That influx drives the sarcoplasmatic reticulum of the cardiac muscles to take up and release Ca^2+^. This leads to the mentioned inotropic effect. This only occurs between a given dose between 0.1 μmol/L and 0.5 μmol/L. Beneath the minimum dose there is no significant effect. Above the maximum dose toxic effects occur such as Ca^2+^-overload, diastolic dysfunction and arrhythmias. The toxic effect is also influenced by the mechanism of action of a protein called phospholemman which regulates the sodium pump in the heart. Depending on the efficiency of this protein toxic effects can be more severe respectively occur faster or can be lessened by it. The inotropic and toxic effect of strophanthidin is already tested in failing human myocardium where it can be used therapeutically to **strengthen** the failing heart if dosed correctly

The district school year runs from mid- to late-August through early- to mid-June. District 70 is on the trimester system, uses parent-teacher conferences and also allows for student-led parent/teacher conferences.
The district superintendent is [Mrs. Rebecca Jenkins](https://www.d70schools.org/our-district/news/detail/~board/communication-news/post/d70-board-hires-new-superintendent-starts-april-1), who was hired by the Board of Education and began in the top slot on April 1, 2022. Before becoming superintendent, she was deputy superintendent for both Lake Forest District 67 and Lake Forest High School District 115. Before working in central office administration, Jenkins was a middle school principal for nine years in Aptakisic-Tripp Elementary School District 102 in Buffalo Grove. Il. She also worked as an assistant principal for an elementary school in D102 for two years. During her first five years in education, Jenkins, known for her collaborative style, was an elementary teacher in Northbrook, Grayslake, and Gurnee.
For the 2021-22 school year in Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR), students in third through eighth grade, 59 percent scored in the meet or exceeded standards in English/Arts while 51 percent scored in the meet or exceeded standards in math. IAR scores were suspended in the 2020-21 year due to the pandemic. For the 2019-20 school year, students in third through eighth grade, 67 percent scored in the meet or exceeded standards in English/Arts while 65 percent scored in the meet or exceeded standards in math. The scores were the same for both categories for the 2018-19 school year.
This is a high-achieving school district with very involved parents. More than 80 percent of the teachers have master\'s degrees. (see ref. below, also see d70schools.org, school report card for more information.) All classes are taught by Highly Qualified Teachers. The district schools have always made AYP.
All District 70 schools have been awarded the National Blue Ribbon of Excellence Award from the U.S. Dept. of Education, with several of the schools earning the award twice. The coveted National Blue Ribbon School award affirms the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content. (Ref. U.S. Dept. of Education National Blue Ribbon Schools Program.)
Adler Park, Butterfield, Copeland Manor, Highland Middle, and Rockland schools were honored in 2011 and 2010 with the highest academic award given by the Illinois State Board of Education for providing students with a high-quality education. Each of the five schools in Libertyville Elementary District 70 received the highest award, an "Academic Excellence Award." In 2010, Academic Excellence Awards recognized 459 schools that have sustained very high academic performance over at least three years. In 2009, the District 70 schools were included with only 438 schools in the state to receive the award. In order to qualify for the award, those 438 schools showed they could sustain high student performance over at least three years. The award was given to schools where at least 90% of students met or exceeded state standards in 2007-2009 and 2008-2010. (Ref. Illinois State Board of Education website.)
## Adler Park Elementary School {#adler_park_elementary_school}

# Beit Hanan
**Beit Hanan** (*בֵּית חָנָן*) is a moshav in central Israel. Located around two kilometers west of Ness Ziona, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gan Raveh Regional Council. In `{{Israel populations|Year}}`{=mediawiki} its population was `{{Israel populations|Bet Hanan}}`{=mediawiki}.`{{Israel populations|reference}}`{=mediawiki}
## History
Beit Hanan founded during the Hanukkah holiday of 1929 by Jewish immigrants from Bulgaria, Beit Hanan was the first Jewish agricultural community to be established after the 1929 Palestine riots. The name is taken from the Bible, specifically (1 Kings 4:9). According to a census conducted in 1931 by the British Mandate authorities, Beit Hanan had a population of 178 inhabitants, in 50 houses.
In 2007, Beit Hanan had 750 acre of farmland. The main economic branches are eggs, orchards (pecan, citrus, avocado, mango, anona and olives) and greenhouses (flowers, vegetables and seedlings). The moshav also has banquet facilities on the grounds of a historic home.
A Greek-inscribed mosaic floor was discovered within the boundaries of the moshav. A rare species of red iris grows west of the moshav, in a wild flower reserve stretching over 8 acre.

# Stuart Hanlon
**Stuart Hanlon** is an attorney based in San Francisco, California who represented San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr, Geronimo Pratt and members of the Symbionese Liberation Army.
## Early life {#early_life}
Hanlon was raised in New York City. He graduated from Columbia University in 1970, where he became involved with the radical politics of the \'60s. In 1975, Hanlon graduated from Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. He was known at Hastings for wearing flowing Moroccan robes and distributing politically militant leaflets.
## Geronimo Pratt {#geronimo_pratt}
In 1968, Caroline Olsen was murdered by two black men on a Santa Monica tennis court. The Los Angeles Police Department had no leads until late 1970 when former Black Panther Julio Butler wrote to the LAPD that Elmer \"Geronimo\" Pratt had bragged to him about the tennis court killing. Pratt said that he was innocent, because the FBI had him under surveillance in Oakland when the slaying was committed in Santa Monica. In 1972, the court convicted Pratt of first-degree murder.
In 1975, as a third-year law student at Hastings, Hanlon volunteered to work as a paralegal on prisoner rights cases at San Quentin State Prison. He met Geronimo Pratt (also known as Geronimo Ji Jaga); the year before Pratt had been denied a hearing by both the California Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court. At one visit, Hanlon found a steel-tipped Afro comb on his chair. After asking Pratt what it was, Pratt said \"Don\'t touch it man. It\'s a setup. They\'ll say you\'re passing me a weapon. Call a guard quick.\".
Over the next 25 years, Pratt was turned down for parole sixteen times and every appeal for a reversal of the guilty verdict was denied. Hanlon stated \"I\'ve been a lawyer for almost 20 years, and I win almost every trial I do\... I win federal drug cases and murder trials. It just boggles my mind that we have continued to lose Pratt\'s case. There could be 10 reversals on the evidence we have.\" Hanlon developed a close relationship with Pratt, calling Pratt one of his 2 or 3 closest friends in the world.
In June 1997, Pratt was released from prison when an Orange County Superior Court judge reversed his murder conviction, on the basis that a key prosecution witness, Julius Butler was a felon and an FBI informant. In April 2000, Hanlon won a \$4.5 million verdict for Pratt in his civil action suit against the city of Los Angeles and the FBI. It was the first time the FBI paid out money in a verdict when it was not involved in the prosecution. In describing the verdict, Hanlon said \"they still deny culpability for what happened to Pratt. But you don\'t pay that amount of money if you didn\'t do anything wrong.\" Johnnie Cochran, who worked on the case with Hanlon from the beginning, has called Pratt\'s case the most important of his career.
## Career
Hanlon represented Sara Jane Olson (Kathy Soliah), Emily Harris and William Harris, three members of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), for the 1975 murder of a Sacramento woman during a bank robbery in which they were joined by Patty Hearst. He also represented and won the acquittal of another member of the SLA, Russell Little, for his role in the murder of Oakland, California School Superintendent Marcus Foster.
In 1982, Hanlon and Tony Serra won an acquittal for Chol Soo Lee, exonerating him from a 1974 murder conviction. Lee spent 10 years in prison for the wrongful conviction. The case gained international attention for exposing Asian discrimination in the American judicial system. Another attorney, Leonard Weinglass, worked on the exoneration prior to Hanlon and Serra, and more credit for the success is given to activists and community members who brought public scrutiny to the case.
In 2003, Hanlon defended San Francisco Deputy Police Chief Greg Suhr against charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice. The charge arose from the investigation into a street fight in which three rookie officers were charged with felony assault, with those officers in turn accusing Suhr and ten other officers of obstructing justice. The charges were eventually dropped by the judge.
## Personal
Six weeks after Hanlon won Pratt a new trial, his wife, attorney Kathleen Ryan, 46, died of leukemia. The couple had two sons, Liam, who was 10, and Rory, aged five years old, when she died. The prospects of an extremely extended trial for Olson, in which Hearst was expected to be called as a witness by the prosecution, caused Hanlon to withdraw as defense counsel so he could be with his family

# The St. Michael School
**The St. Michael School** is a secondary school in Barbados. It stands on Martindales Road in the parish of Saint Michael, Barbados. The school has over 800 pupils.
Some of the school\'s notable alumni include the late Dame Nita Barrow, who was the first female (Right Excellent Errol Barrow\'s sister) governor general of Barbados, and parliamentarian Elizabeth Thompson, as well as Jason Holder Barbados and West Indian cricketer and Niko Terho, former professional footballer and actor best known for his role of Lucas Adams (aka Shep) on the hit medical drama, Gray's Anatomy. The school\'s principal is Mrs. Tanya Harding and the deputy is Mrs. Wood.
The school\'s motto is \"Nisi Auxilio Dei Nihil,\" Latin for \"Nothing Without Help From God\".
## History and achievements {#history_and_achievements}
The school was founded by the St. Michael\'s Vestry and officially opened on 7 May 1928. It was originally a girls\' school. In 1979 the first class of boys were admitted to the school
In 2007, a two-year renovation programme came to an end.
In 2007, a student won a gold medal at the CARIFTA Games.
In 2008, the school became the only one on the island to place three students in one sitting to two campuses of the United World Colleges (the UWC Movement). Two students went to the United World College Costa Rica (Santa Ana, Costa Rica) and one to the United World College-USA (Montezuma, USA). It was the largest placement by a single secondary school in Barbados. However, in 2009, the school did not place any of its students into the UWC Movement. The school has a sixth form.
## School structure {#school_structure}
The St. Michael School is divided into four competitive houses, named after queens: Boadicea (blue), Victoria (red), Anne (yellow) and Elizabeth (purple).
## Discipline
The school has a prefect system, under which students help with disciplinary and school matters, run by a head boy and head girl with their deputies, and five senior prefects. It is considered a well organized school and run by Tanya Harding, the head of the school. In the past years it has accomplished much, notably the installment of bleachers and water systems. It has also led the charge against unhealthy habits and has been commended for its revolutionary initiative.

# TexShare
The **TexShare** program is a statewide resource-sharing consortium of hundreds of member libraries in Texas, United States administered by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC). The TexShare program maximizes the effectiveness of library expenditures by enabling member libraries to share staff expertise, share materials electronic and print formats, pursue joint purchasing agreements on electronic databases, and encourage the cooperative development of Texas libraries statewide. TexShare is made up of Texas academic libraries, public libraries, and libraries of clinical medicine. TexShare is a member driven consortium that exists with the support and cooperation of Texas member libraries.
## History
The idea of a statewide resource sharing project in Texas was first proposed by Texas academic library directors in 1988. The original group of TexShare members consisted of 53 publicly supported four year academic and medical libraries, with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board providing funds starting in fiscal year 1994.
The beginning years of TexShare were devoted to planning and starting cooperative resource sharing initiatives such as funding for Internet connectivity and interlibrary loan workstations, creating protocols, leveraging costs for online resources, fostering a statewide library card program, and offering grants. Administrative duties were contracted out to Amigos Library Services and the University of Texas at Austin.
Between 1997 and 1999, legislative statute expanded TexShare membership to include independent academic institutions, community colleges, and public libraries. In 1999 the Texas State Library and Archives Commission assumed full administrative responsibility for TexShare, with Amigos and University of Texas at Austin continuing to provide vital logistical and technical support as Strategic Partners. Legislative statute again expanded TexShare membership in 2001 to include libraries of clinical medicine, and in 2005, another legislative statute granted the Texas State Library and Archives Commission authority to negotiate group purchasing agreements on behalf of Texas K-12 public school libraries.
## Governance
The TexShare Advisory Board provides administrative guidance, and is composed of representatives from community colleges, private universities, publicly funded academic institutions, public libraries, and two representatives of the general public.
TexShare Working Groups provide member input on the policies and operations of each TexShare program. The working groups are composed of librarians chosen to represent the various constituent groups and geographic diversity within TexShare.
## Programs
Two of the current programs of TexShare available through Texas libraries are:
- **TexShare Databases** - Registered users of Texas libraries have these online research tools available to them both inside the library and 24-hour-a-day access outside the library in their homes or offices. The TexShare online resources provide full-text articles from journals, newspapers, magazines, and many other sources, on-line books, and topics such as homework help for students, health information, business information, biography and genealogy, as well as literature and archival information. Library users can access these online resources a variety of ways, either through library specific interfaces or through the Library of Texas interface.
- **TexShare Card** -- Eligible registered users of Texas libraries obtain this card to check out books and other physical materials from the collections of TexShare member libraries across the State of Texas. Each library creates individual lending policies as guidelines for TexShare Card owners. Greater access to collections statewide is a major benefit to the user.
TexShare works closely with other programs offered by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, including the TexQuest Program for K-12 public and open enrollment schools, statewide Inter-library Loan program, grants programs (particularly the signature TexTreasures Grant), and the E-Read Texas e-books program.
TexShare is a member of the International Coalition of Library Consortia

# List of Unitarian martyrs
**Unitarian martyrs** are individuals who died for their adherence to Unitarianism, a theological position which claims to derive from the Christian Bible and denies the Trinity, instead maintaining that there is one God in one person (the Father). In modern times as the Unitarian movement broadened to embrace more than simply Christianity, Unitarian martyrs may rightly now also include individuals who died for their adherence to Liberal religion. Following is a partial list ordered by date of some of these martyrs.
## Renaissance
1529: Ludwig Haetzer - beheaded in Konstanz, Germany; believed Jesus was a leader and teacher, not a God due worship
1539: Katarzyna Weiglowa - burned at the stake at age 80 for \"apostasy to Judaism\", though her stance was anti-trinitarian, not specifically Jewish.
1553: Michael Servetus - burned at the stake after a prison term because of writing a book noting absence of biblical evidence for a Trinity.
1579: Francis David - Lutheran pastor in Transylvania; after Unitarian King John Sigismund died, orthodox views regained power. Francis David was placed in prison, where he ultimately died.
1611: Iwan Tyszkiewicz - Polish member of the Socinian church (also see: Polish Brethren) who was beheaded for the blasphemy of Unitarianism.
## Modern times {#modern_times}
1697: Thomas Aikenhead - a medical student, executed for denying the Holy Trinity, an offence under England\'s Blasphemy Act 1697. On the morning of January 8, 1697, Thomas wrote to his \'friends\' that \"it is a principle innate and co-natural to every man to have an insatiable inclination to the truth, and to seek for it as for hid treasure. . . So I proceeded until the more I thought thereon, the further I was from finding the verity I desired. . .\" Aikenhead may have read this letter outside the Tolbooth, before making the long walk, under guard, to the gallows. He was said to have died Bible in hand, \"with all the Marks of a true Penitent\".
1942: Norbert Capek -- preached religious freedom (including Unitarianism). Was sent to the Dachau concentration camp, and later gassed to death at Hartheim Castle. Founder of the Czech Unitarian Church, and author of many hymns in Czech. *Mother Spirit, Father Spirit* and *View the Starry Realm* are both in *Singing the Living Tradition*, published by the Unitarian Universalist Association.
1965: James Reeb clubbed in Selma, Alabama, after responding to a call by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. for the second of the Selma to Montgomery marches. Selma\'s public hospital refused to treat the Rev. Reeb, who was taken to University Hospital in Birmingham, two hours away. Reeb died on Thursday, March 11, with his wife by his side. His death inspired thousands to join King and other activists in the successful third march to Montgomery.
1965: Viola Liuzzo was a 39-year-old white mother and a civil rights worker from Detroit who came to Alabama to join in the Selma to Montgomery marches and help with voter registration. She was murdered March 25, 1965 while driving a fellow activist back from the Alabama Capitol Building, the site of the large rally at the culmination of the third march.
1988: Toribio Quimada, founder of the UU Church of the Philippines, shot on Negros Island by unknown assailants believed to have been responding to his social justice ministry. While Rev. Quimada is listed as a Unitarian martyr, his theology was clearly Universalist, rather than Unitarian. His church was founded with Universalist beliefs, but became Unitarian Universalist about the same time (1961) that the Unitarian and Universalist denominations in the United States merged. The church remains affiliated with the denomination in the United States.
2008: Greg McKendry and Linda Kreager, killed as a result of the politically motivated Knoxville Unitarian Universalist church shooting

# Vir militaris
The **vir militaris** (plural: viri militares) was a Roman legate (or general) who governed a consular military province of the Roman Empire. Tacitus mentioned the phrase *vir militaris* in some of his passages in order to describe ordinary soldiers or junior officers. Overall, the name was given to anyone who was experienced in military life or was given an opportunity to establish a reputation through warfare. According to Brian Campbell, the viri militares did not represent a homogeneous unit with special characteristics

# Doc Neeson
**Bernard Patrick** \"**Doc**\" **Neeson** OAM (4 January 1947 -- 4 June 2014) was an Australian singer-songwriter and musician. He was the front man for the hard rock band The Angels from its formation in February 1976 through to 1999. The band then split up and reformed in 2008 after a lengthy legal battle where Doc resumed his place as front man. For the group, Neeson was the main singer-songwriter and was the driving force behind the band being propelled into stardom for a period spanning over three decades. Their top 20 studio albums on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart are *Face to Face* (June 1978), *No Exit* (June 1979), *Dark Room* (June 1980), *Night Attack* (November 1981), *Watch the Red* (May 1983), *Two Minute Warning* (November 1984) and *Howling* (October 1986). Their number-one album, *Beyond Salvation*, on the ARIA Albums Chart appeared in February 1990 and was followed by another top 20 album, *Red Back Fever* (November 1991). The group\'s top 20 singles on the related Australian charts are \"No Secrets\" (1980), \"Into the Heat\" (1981), \"Never so Live\" (1981), \"We Gotta Get out of This Place\" (1987), \"Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again\" (live, 1988), \"Let the Night Roll On\" (1990) and \"Dogs Are Talking\" (1990). On 20 October 1998, at the ARIA Awards the group were inducted into the Hall of Fame.
In early December 1999, three weeks prior to his performance at the Tour of Duty - Concert for the Troops in East Timor, Neeson had a car accident on the Sydney M4 Motorway, which led to years of pain and rehabilitation. Against all medical advice, he returned to the stage to carry on his legacy and resumed performing in 2006. He died of a brain tumour on 4 June 2014, aged 67, approximately 18 months from his initial diagnosis.

# Doc Neeson
## Early life {#early_life}
Bernard Patrick Neeson was born on 4 January 1947 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. His father, Bernard James Neeson, was a British Army soldier, and his mother was Kathleen *née* Corrigan. Neeson was the eldest of six children. They were raised as Catholics although the family lived in a predominantly Protestant area of Belfast. He attended boarding school at Terenure College in Dublin. The family emigrated to Adelaide aboard the *Strathnaver*. They settled in the suburb of Elizabeth and he attended St Paul\'s College.
While at the college, Neeson had his first taste of performing. An extract from the 1963 College Annual states: 'Three boys from Leaving this term entered in the Y.C.S. Talent Quest, singing 'Michael' and 'He's Got the Whole World' -- the 'Reefers' did not win (in fact, they didn't even gain a place!) but they won wide fame for their attempt. (The boys, by the way, were B. Neeson, M. Clarke and B. Jaworskyj.)\"
As a teenager he had promoted dances and in mid-1967 he advised an Adelaide group, Down the Line: \"Y\'know, you should change the name to something short and punchy like Zoot\". After completing secondary education, Neeson entered an Adelaide teachers college, \"my first career option was to become a teacher, certainly never thought of having a career as a musician\". Before completing his course Neeson was conscripted for national service into the Australian army during the Vietnam War. He served as an education corps sergeant in New Guinea for eighteen months in the late 1960s. He subsequently attended Flinders University, completed degrees in film and drama, and intended to become a film director.

# Doc Neeson
## Career
### Doc Talbot to The Keystone Angels {#doc_talbot_to_the_keystone_angels}
While a student at Flinders University, Neeson as \'Doc Talbot\' became a member of an acoustic blues group, Moonshine Jug and String Band, on vocals and guitar. That group had started in Adelaide in 1970 with brothers, Rick Brewster on guitar, washboard, jug, and backing vocals; and John Brewster on guitar, banjo, harmonica, and vocals. Neeson had previously been a member of The Innocents and when he joined the Brewsters they also had Craig Holden on guitar, Bob Petchell on banjo, and Pete Thorpe on bass guitar, washtub, and backing vocals.
Moonshine Jug and String Band recorded a four-track extended play, *Keep You on the Move*, in 1973, which had local success on the Adelaide charts, rising to No. 5. They followed with a single, \"That\'s Alright with Me\", in the next year. Their material appeared on the Sphere Organization label, owned by the group\'s manager, John Woodruff. Another four-track EP, *Moonshine Jug and String Band*, appeared in 1974.
By 1974 the group had discarded their acoustic blues sound and instrumentation to become The Keystone Angels playing electric instruments for 1950s style rock and roll, and R&B on the pub circuit. The line-up with Doc Neeson on guitar and vocals were: John Brewster on lead vocals and guitar; Rick on guitar; Peter Christopoulos (aka Charlie King) on drums; and Laurie Lever on keyboards. During that year they backed United States rock and roller, Chuck Berry, on his Australian tour. In late January 1975 the group performed at the final Sunbury Pop Festival, where they received a standing ovation. During that year they issued a lone single, \"Keep on Dancing\", on Sphere, which had Neeson on guitar while John provided lead vocals.
### The Angels {#the_angels}
The Keystone Angels supported AC/DC on a regional tour of South Australia and were signed to the group\'s label, Albert Productions. In February 1976 The Keystone Angels relocated to Sydney, they had \"toughened \[their\] sound into a unique brand of beefy hard rock\". Upon the advice of in-house producers, Vanda & Young, they shortened their name to The Angels. The line-up, with Neeson as lead singer, bass guitarist and front man, was the Brewster brothers and King. Their debut single, \"Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again\", was issued in March 1976 on EMI/Albert. The track was composed by Neeson with the Brewsters, Neeson later described writing the lyrics, which had started as a \"ballad about connecting with loss\" after a university mate\'s girlfriend had been killed in a motorbike accident. In 1978 an audience in Mount Isa responded to the question posed in the song\'s title with \"no way, get fucked, fuck off\". Neeson described how this response was copied at other venues and became an important part of their performances: \"\...when the band first started, we were trying to write songs for Australian audiences; they've made it their own in a way I'd never have thought possible\".
In August King was replaced by Graham Bidstrup on drums (ex-Fahrenheit 451, Red Angel Panic, Taxi, Pegasus). The group\'s choice for lead vocals was either Neeson\'s \"gruff shout\" or John Brewster\'s \"clear tones\". Neeson recalled \"Our drummer, Buzz Bidstrup, said, \'Let\'s go with Doc. He\'s got the worst voice in the band\' \... While I was looking daggers at him, he changed that to \'distinctive\' and the penny dropped with everyone. We\'d sacrifice sweetness for distinctiveness. That\'s how I became the Angels\' lead singer\".
In January 1977 Chris Bailey joined on bass guitar (ex-Red Angel Panic, Headband) freeing Neeson to concentrate on lead vocals and develop his stagecraft. The group\'s debut album, *The Angels*, appeared in August 1977 with seven of its ten tracks co-written by Neeson. The group\'s first top 50 hit on the Kent Music Report Singles Chart, \"Take a Long Line\", was issued in July 1978. It appeared ahead of their second album, *Face to Face*, in August, which peaked at No. 16 on the related Kent Music Report Albums Chart. Neeson and fellow band members co-produced the album with Mark Opitz.
Marie Ryan of *Woroni* in August 1978 felt the lead single \"tells the story of a fringe-dweller who finds himself over whelmed and powerless in the face of The Authorities\" while questioning \"How much notice audiences actually take of the lyrics is debatable though they\'re not all that easy to ignore with Doc Neeson\'s twisting, contorted figure acting them out . . . shining a torch on the pogoing hordes while screaming\" about Big Brother (from the book, *Nineteen Eighty-Four*). In October 2010 *Face to Face* was listed in the book, *100 Best Australian Albums*, where the authors John O\'Donnell, Toby Creswell and Craig Mathieson noted \"the songs are driven at manic speed while Doc Neeson\'s lyrics of outsiders and alienation are sung with a gravelly intensity\".
On New Year\'s Eve 1979 The Angels performed at the Sydney Opera House. The performance finished in \"a riot and rock music was banned from official Sydney New Year\'s Eve celebrations\". Neeson and Bailey received head injuries from bottles flung at them and \"had to receive stitches to deep cuts\".
The Angels continued through various line-ups which included differently named ensembles Angel City (for international releases) and The Angels from Angel City. On 20 October 1998 at the ARIA Awards the group were inducted into the Hall of Fame. Outside of his work with that group, Neeson initiated The Tour of Duty - Concert for the Troops held for the InterFET forces in East Timor which took place on 21 December 1999. He performed a number of The Angels tracks and duets with John Farnham, Kylie Minogue and The Living End. On New Year\'s Eve 1999 Neeson announced his departure from The Angels at the MGM Grand Darwin Millennium Concert citing his injury from a car accident earlier that month.

## Career
### Alternative Angels {#alternative_angels}
In February 2001, Neeson performed at the *Tour of Duty Encore!* concert at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. In August that year the Australian Broadcasting Corporation had featured Doc Neeson and The Angels in episode 4, \"Berserk Warriors 1973-1981\", of the TV music series, *Long Way to the Top*, which was an insight into Australian rock \'n\' roll. Neeson was interviewed, together with Angus Young (of AC/DC), on starting their careers at pub rock venues. Neeson recalled \"\[t\]he stench would just hit you and the atmosphere was overwhelming, like a real energy built out of the claustrophobia\" while Young related \"\[t\]hey would be throwing beer cans and I thought \'just keep moving\' and that\'s how it all started\".
In December 2003 he formed a band, Doc Neeson\'s Angels, to play The Angels\' material. The line-up with Neeson was Jim Hilbun (ex-The Angels) on bass guitar; Peter Clarke (ex-The Ranch, see Keith Urban) on drums; Alan Mansfield on keyboards and Peter Northcote on guitar (both ex-Dragon). Other groups created by former members included The Angels, the Original Angels Band, Rick Brewster\'s Angels, the Angels with Dave Gleeson, and The Angels 100%.
In May 2005, Neeson also formed Red Phoenix, and they released a self-titled album. The group\'s lineup was Neeson, Hilbun, Northcote, with David Lowy and Fab Omodei. In 2006, Neeson was featured on a postage stamp for Australia Post as part of their \"Australian Rock Posters The Stamps\" collection. In August and September 2007 he toured with Doc Neeson\'s Angels for the *Countdown* Spectacular 2 tour.
During October and November 2007, Doc Neeson\'s Angels went on the *\"Tour de Force\"* tour of Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait, supporting the Australian troops. Neeson was presented with two military medals in Baghdad while touring across the Middle East as part of a morale-boosting concert series for Australian troops known as \'Tour de Force.\'The band lineup for this tour consisted of Dave Leslie (guitar), Mick Skelton (drums), Sara Gray (bass) and Mitch Hutchinson (guitar).
In 2008 Doc Neeson reunited with other The Angels members: Rick and John Brewster, Bidstrup and Bailey --- who have since done extensive national touring. Multiple Angels CD and DVD releases by Alberts Music coincided with the release by Albert Music of the 30th Anniversary edition of the \"Face to Face\" album, along with previously unreleased material and a DVD of a live concert in Melbourne \"This is It Folks!\" In August 2008, Neeson and his songwriting partners in The Angels, the Brewster brothers, were inducted into The Australian Songwriters Association Hall of Fame, in recognition of their songwriting contribution to Australian music. In 2009 Neeson toured nationally with The Angels and was named by the Australian-based *Irish Echo* newspaper as one of the Top 100 Irish People in Australia of all time. In April 2010 he performed with the Brewster brothers in \"A Symphony of Angels\" at the Adelaide Festival Theatre with The Adelaide Art Orchestra conducted by Rob John.
In 2010 he began a solo project. In November 2010 he played semi-acoustic concerts with a band including former The Angels bassist Jim Hilbun. For the time being he was still involved with The Angels and was preparing to record a new solo album. In 2012 the Doc Neeson band continued to perform across Australia. The band\'s lineup consisted of Mitch Hutchinson (guitar), Mark Fenwick (guitar), Dave Roberts (drums) and Justin Bianchi (bass).

## Personal life {#personal_life}
Neeson\'s first marriage was to Dzintra in 1974. They had two sons, but the relationship ended after 15 years. Neeson admitted to being unfaithful \"Regrettably, because things were going wrong between us, I started seeing other women from time to time, just flirtatious dates most of the time, but one woman that I met one night at a club after a show was Kym \[Moore\]\". In 1991 Neeson proposed to Moore with an aeroplane banner \"Kym, I love you. Marry me BPN\" -- their marriage lasted five years.
In early December 1999, three weeks prior to the Tour of Duty - Concert for the Troops in East Timor, Neeson had a car accident on the Sydney M4 Motorway, \"I was living in the Blue Mountains at the time, I\'d just come back from a rehearsal with John Farnham\'s band to go with the troops up to East Timor, and I was feeling great \... A car in front of me braked really hard, so I braked hard, and the truck behind didn\'t brake at all, so I got this bad whiplash injury and some spinal damage that made it very difficult for me to walk for the first few years\".
Known for his physical live performances, he was warned by a back specialist that he ran the risk of needing to use a wheelchair if he kept performing. Paul Cashmere at Undercover website noted that he \"still performed for the troops under a lot of pain and upon his return became a regular patient trying to overcome chronic back and neck pain as well as blurred vision\".
### Declining health and death {#declining_health_and_death}
On 10 January 2013, Neeson\'s Facebook page announced that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumour and would undergo immediate treatment. The Angels 100% Tour management released a statement: \"To all The Angels friends, fans, venues and media It is with deep regret and shock that The Angels have to announce that Mr Doc Neeson was admitted to hospital over the recent Christmas/New Year period. He has just been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, (brain tumour). This will require immediate intensive radiation and chemotherapy treatment and will continue for the next 6--7 months\". John and Rick Brewster said: \"Our thoughts are with Doc, his family and others close to him, and we wish him a speedy and complete recovery\".
On 28 April 2014 the ABC TV series, *Australian Story*, broadcast an episode, \"A Very Good Rascal\", as a biographical documentary on Neeson, his musical career and his medical condition. Neeson died on 4 June 2014, aged 67, from his glioblastoma multiforme (brain tumour). His funeral was held on 11 June at St Michael\'s Church, Lane Cove. Neeson was survived by partner Anne Souter and his three sons.

# Louisville City Hall
**Louisville City Hall** is a registered historic building in Louisville, Kentucky, placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Completed in 1873 to house the Louisville city government, the structure is located at 601 West Jefferson Street in what became Downtown Louisville, the center of the city\'s civic district.
Since the merger of the former City of Louisville with Jefferson County, Kentucky, it now primarily houses the offices and chambers of the Louisville Metro Council. The former Jefferson County Courthouse, now known as Louisville Metro Hall, is now primarily home to the offices of the metro mayor of Louisville.
## History
The site was already Louisville\'s civic center. The first log courthouse was built across the street in 1784, and a brick courthouse stood on the site from 1811 to 1837. Prior to the construction of the City Hall, city government officials shared space with the courthouse.
Before the City Hall\'s construction, there was no dedicated building for city government, whose officials used space in the county courthouses. The plan was selected by way of a design competition held in 1867 with the winner receiving \$500. The contest was won in April 1867 by local architect John Andrewartha and C.S. Mergell. In late summer 1870, the final plans for City Hall construction were made by Andrewartha, who was named managing architect, and architectural firm C.L. Stancliff and Co. The remaining government buildings were demolished before ground was broken on the city hall in 1870. Louisville General Council selected City engineer I.M. St. John to supervise the project.
Indiana Limestone, from White River quarries near Salem, Indiana was used. Construction took place between 1870 and 1873 at a final cost of \$464,778. The exterior has been renovated several times but remains unchanged, while the interior has been completely remodeled several times.
A Greco-Roman annex building was built just west of City Hall in 1909. Cornelius Curtin designed it. An 1891 firehouse, the next building down Jefferson Street, was integrated into the complex in 1937. The building housed the city\'s tax collectors and quickly acquired the name \"Sinking Fund Building\". By the late 20th century it housed the Inspections, Permits and Licenses Department, which moved out in 2004. All three buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places as the City Hall Complex in 1976.
## Architecture
The building was a striking blend of Italianate and Second Empire styles, both popular at the time in civic buildings. Designs on the building represented the city\'s outlook in the post-Civil War era, which was very optimistic. The pediment over the main entrance features a relief of the city seal and a train steaming forward past Southern flora with the inscription, \"Progress, 1871\". Other engravings, over the tympana of the side windows, depict livestock heads, representing the importance of agriculture in Louisville\'s early history.
It has three full stories had a raised basement. The most prominent feature is the 195-foot four-faced clock tower with mansard roof, not completed until 1876 after an earlier one burned in 1875. The tower included a three-ton bell which rang until 1964, when the clock broke. It was repaired in 1968 but broke in the 1970s. It was repaired in 1991.

# Tubarão River
The **Tubarão River** is a river in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.
## Geographical aspects {#geographical_aspects}
It originates from the confluence of the Rocinha river and Bonito river in the municipality of Lauro Müller. The Tubarão River flows from the Serra Geral foothills to the Southern Santa Catarina Lagoon System, 75 mi away. The main tributaries are the Braço do Norte river, Capivari river, Laranjeiras river and Congonhas river by the left bank and the Palmeiras river and Azambuja river by the right bank. The major tributary, the Braço do Norte river is, actually, larger than the Tubarão River.
The Tubarão River basin drains an area of 2177 sqmi in 20 municipalities comprising a population of about 350,000 people
## Anthropical facts {#anthropical_facts}
### Human occupation {#human_occupation}
The first human beings to occupy these areas were Sambaqui people circa 5,000 years ago. These peoples lived in the southern Brazilian coast for thousand years and vanished. This very day, it is a mystery their disappearance. They left huge middens as vestiges. Circa the year 1000AD, Guaraní people settled in this same regions previously occupied by the Sambaqui people. The first European to disembark in the Tubarão River were Portuguese missionaries in 1605. They found Guarani tribes livings near the banks. These Jesuits were antagonized by a tribal chief called Tub-Nharô, which means Ferocious Father in the Guarani language. The Jesuits named the river after the chief, however they changed the name\'s orthography to Tubarão, which means shark in the Portuguese Language and has a similar pronunciation. By the 1740s, a few adventurers, slave traders and missionaries lived in this region. In those years the Portuguese Empire brought some Azorian families to colonize Southern Brazil. In the later decades of the 1700s the river had important function as a fluvial way linking the Laguna harbor to a small river harbor that connected to the trooper\'s way to the uplands. This small river harbor became decades later the city of Tubarão. In 1800s troopers found mineral coal near the banks and the mining operations started in 1884 when the Dona Thereza Christina Railway was inaugurated. In this same period huge mass of Italians and German immigrants settled in the basin. In 1887 and 1974 floods destroyed the cities on the banks, Tubarão was the most affected.
### Environmental problems {#environmental_problems}
The basin has suffered intense environmental degradation since the first coal mine works in the 1880s. This works were made without any environmental or social prudence. The low quality coal produces too many reject material, which was continuously throw away in areas near the Tubarão tributary rivers. The European settlements had their first economy based on familiar agriculture. Poor land practices contributed to the deforestation and consequently soil erosion and sedimentation of the watercourses. The World War II breakout increased the coal mining significantly. It also changed the social-economical relations, the population growth and industries related to this new ascension economy. On the other hand, the environmental and life-quality degradation was in the negative balance. After the 1974 flood the Tubarão river was deeply modified. Levees were built along its banks on the low areas and the river had its course rectified eliminating about 2 mi of its meanders

# Grant R. Brimhall Library
The **Grant R. Brimhall Library** serves as the main library for the city of Thousand Oaks, California. It is controlled by the Thousand Oaks Library System, which also controls the Newbury Park Branch Library. The Grant R. Brimhall Building is located on Janss Rd. near State Route 23. There are 81,000 sqft in the main building and 3000 sqft in the adjacent Special Collections Storage building. It serves Thousand Oaks, including Newbury Park and Westlake Village. It is the largest library in Ventura County, the largest library in the region, and one of the largest in Southern California.
American Radio Archive was part of the Special Collections Department at the library, and featured one of the largest collections of broadcasting documents in the United States, or perhaps in the world. It had a collection of 23,000 radio- and TV scripts, 10,000 photographs, and 10,000 books related to the history of radio. Furthermore, it contained archives of notable individuals such as Bob Crosby, Rudy Vallee, Norman Corwin, and Monty Masters.
## History
The Thousand Oaks City Council established the Thousand Oaks Library, which was dedicated on January 25, 1982. Previously, library services had been provided by the Ventura County Library Services Agency operating from a branch on Wilbur Road. The new city structure provided the community with a 59,000 sq. ft. building. It has an interior fountain and a sculpture of J.B. Blunk, which was the city\'s first major purchase of artwork. The land is owned by Conejo Recreation and Park District, which leases the property to the city for a 98-year lease. A.C. Martin and Associates was the library designers, and the original 54,000 sq. ft. building was built at a cost of \$8 million, much of it which had been donated. The City of Thousand Oaks made a \$4.5 million down payment. A reception was held on January 22, 1982, where 385 people attended and donated over \$75,000. Hundreds more turned out the following day for the public dedication. On day one, around 4,300 books were loaned, \$1,000 was donated to the book fund, and 500 new library cards were issued. The library opened with a collection of 200,000 books, however, was expected to reach 300,000 by 1990. From 1986 to 1987 the library circulated over 1.2 million items, a 97% increase since its opening in 1982--83. As of 1989, the library was visited by 2,500 people on a daily basis.
The library was originally located on Wilbur Road, across from where the Janss Marketplace parking structure stands today. Today, the original building has been remodeled and is used for art work. The Thousand Oaks Library occupies its new building, at 1401 E. Janss Rd. in January 1982, which was later named the Grant R. Brimhall Library in honor of the former City Manager. Before 1982, the library was part of the Ventura County Library Services Agency. In November 1982, the City of Thousand Oaks assumed responsibility for library operations.
The Newbury Park Branch of the library opened in January 1991 at 2331 Borchard Rd. The library encompasses 17000 sqft. The building includes an additional 4000 sqft which house the Friends of the Thousand Oaks Library work area. Newbury Park Library is also home of Thousand Oaks Community Gallery.
## Architecture
A.C. Martin and Associates Architecture firm located in Los Angeles was the designer responsible for the new library. It shares similar architecture to the original Thousand Oaks City Hall, which is located off Lynn Rd. across from The Oaks Shopping Center, and with the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Center and present city hall located on Thousand Oaks Boulevard. The style is very clean and futuristic, with straight lines throughout. It is noted by local residents as being one of the most appealing buildings in the area because of its unique architecture, which was ahead of its time.

# Grant R. Brimhall Library
## Relocation and return {#relocation_and_return}
For many years, the library was not located at the main Grant R. Brimhall Building. It moved to a large commercial building off Conejo School Road. In 1994, the Thousand Oaks Library was damaged by the Northridge earthquake and was temporarily relocated to 2400 Willow Lane to allow reconstruction to proceed rapidly. The Grant R. Brimhall Library re-opened at the Janss Road site in November 1996. The building began to have problems with the roof in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Damage occurred inside the library due to leaking, which sent the city and original developer into a lawsuit that took years to conclude. Until the lawsuit concluded and the building could be repaired correctly, the library was moved to the Conejo School Road location, across the US 101 freeway from the present day Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.
## Thousand Oaks Library System {#thousand_oaks_library_system}
There are approximately 380,000 items in the collection, including books, magazines, newspapers, recorded books on CD and digital formats, DVDs, CD-ROMs and music CDs. New materials are ordered daily by the library. The library system no longer uses the card catalog system, but rather a computer database system to store all library information. The library system also offers large meeting rooms and auditoriums at both library locations, and the Conejo Valley Art Exhibition at the Newbury Park Branch, which is constantly running and previewing local artists\' work.
The American Radio Archive was one of the special collections of the Thousand Oaks Library Foundation. Other collections include local history and the art and history of the book. The American Radio Archives and Museum contained one of the largest collections of radio broadcasting in the United States. The library is home to a local history collection that has more than 1,800 books and pamphlets, from approximately 1875 to the present. The collection also includes extensive subject files, biographical files, maps, oral histories, photographs, and other materials.
### Newbury Park Library {#newbury_park_library}
Newbury Park Library opened in January 1991 on Borchard Road in Newbury Park, California, directly across from Newbury Gateway Park. It is adjacent to Thousand Oaks Community Gallery and home of the 4,000 sq. ft. Friends of the Thousand Oaks Library work area. The 31,000 sq. ft. library is a branch of the Thousand Oaks Library and is located in a former *Ralphs* supermarket. It was finished in 1991 at a cost of \$4 million, and opened with a collection of 18,000 volumes and a small collection of video and audiotapes. The library houses various genealogical items of the Conejo Valley Genealogical Society.
## Expansion
The Grant R. Brimhall Library recently finished a children\'s wing expansion project. The library expansion project includes a 22000 sqft expansion of the Grant R. Brimhall Library. The project adds onto the south side of the building and is devoted to children\'s services and collections. Additional staff work area is also included in this project. The new Children\'s Library entrance is facing Janss Road, with additional parking, a drive-up book drop, a courtyard, 3700 gallon saltwater aquarium and children\'s patio. It also offers a separate program room, additional shelving for the juvenile collection, and extra study and seating area for children. The existing facility was renovated and modified to include a new location for the library Foundation Store, the Special Collections Department, as well as new quiet and group study rooms, additional seating and shelving.
It was designed by Killefer, Flammang Architects located in Santa Monica, and constructed by AKG Construction, Inc., based in Van Nuys. It took approximately 18 months to complete from its start date, November 17, 2004. Total cost added up to \$10.5 million

# Zachariah Carpi
**Zachariah Carpi** (In Italian **Zaccaria**; in Hebrew יששכר חיים קארפי, **Issachar Hayim Carpi**) was an Italian-Jewish revolutionary, born at Revere in the second half of the 18th century. After the French Revolution he appears to have engaged in plots against the Austrian government of Lombardy. On 25 March 1799, he and his son, Mordecai Moses Carpi, were imprisoned at Mantua. When Napoleon reached that city in 1800, Carpi was sent to Venice, thence to Sebenico (now Šibenik, Croatia) in Dalmatia, and through Carinthia and Croatia to Peterwardein in Hungary, where he was at last released by Napoleon\'s orders on 3 April 1801. He wrote a narrative of his imprisonment under the title *Toledot Yitzchaq*, which was edited by G. Jaré, and published at Cracow in 1892. Besides this, he wrote an account of his early life, under the title *Megillat Yitzchaq*, and a book for children entitled *Dibre Yitzchaq*. The last two works are no longer extant

# Hopi Buttes volcanic field
**Hopi Buttes volcanic field** is a monogenetic volcanic field located on the Colorado Plateau mostly on the Navajo Reservation around the town of Dilkon in northeastern Arizona north of Holbrook.
The volcanic field covers an area of approximately 965 sqmi and contains about 300 maars and diatremes.
The erosional exposure of the deposits varies with those in the eastern portion exhibiting the shallowly eroded maar deposits and those in the western portion the more deeply eroded feeder diatremes. The maars result from explosive interaction of the hot diatreme material with the groundwater system and result in a mixture of volcanic tuff material and sediments of the Miocene--Pliocene lacustrine sediments of the Bidahochi Formation. In the western portion of the field the buttes consist of the feeder diatremes of monchiquite and nepheline syenite magmas.
Most of the volcanic activity occurred between 8.5 and 6 million years ago, with the most recent dated at 4.2 million years ago

# Cornelis Hin
**Cornelis Nicolaas Hin** (6 October 1869 -- 21 October 1944) was a sailor from the Netherlands, who represented his native country at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Ostend, Belgium.
During the second race one of the marks was drifting and the race was abandoned. Since the organizers did not have the time to re-sail the race that week the two remaining races were rescheduled for September 3 of that year. Since both contenders were Dutch, the organizers requested the Dutch Olympic Committee to organize the race in The Netherlands.
With his son Johan Hin as crew Hin won the first race. His son Frans Hin crewed the remaining races in The Netherlands on the Buiten IJ, in front of Durgerdam near Amsterdam. Hin took the gold over the combined series with his boat *Beatrijs III*

# 2007 Crown Royal Presents The Jim Stewart 400
The **2007 Crown Royal Presents The Jim Stewart 400** was the tenth race of the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup campaign, scheduled to be run on Saturday, May 5, 2007 at Richmond International Raceway in Henrico County, Virginia, just outside the city of Richmond, Virginia\'s state capital. Rain postponed the race to the following afternoon. This race was the second night race of the season and the fourth to use the Car of Tomorrow template.
## Naming of the Race {#naming_of_the_race}
In late 2006, Crown Royal decided to hold a nationwide contest to see who could write a one paragraph essay with a \"Crown Worthy\" moment, defined as an event so special that it deserves to be toasted with said sponsor\'s drink. The winner of the contest was Jim Stewart of Houma, Louisiana, who had the race named in his honor, and this contest was so popular that the \"Your Name Here\" 400 contest continued in 2008.
## End of a streak {#end_of_a_streak}
Dale Jarrett, driving the #44 Toyota Camry, failed to qualify for this race, marking the first time in 424 races that he failed to make a Cup Series event, last missing the field in October 1994 at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Jarrett was hamstrung by a new rule installed in 2007 that limits past Cup champions to a total of six past champion provisionals, having used all of them through the spring race at Talladega. In addition, Jarrett drives for Michael Waltrip Racing, which have had problems since Waltrip\'s #55 team had been penalized severely during the qualifying for the 2007 Daytona 500. Toyotas as a whole have not fared well in their maiden season through this point in the year compared to Dodge, Chevrolet and Ford. Only once has a Toyota driver finished in the top 10 of any race (Brian Vickers at the Auto Club 500 at California Speedway).
## The Race {#the_race}
Jimmie Johnson was the race winner. It was his fourth win of the year, leading all drivers, and his 27th of his career. This was another dominating performance for Hendrick Motorsports, with Kyle Busch finishing second and Jeff Gordon coming in fourth.
As stated in the opening paragraph, the Jim Stewart 400 was run on Sunday afternoon, May 6 after the scheduled May 5 date was rained out. On that night, the cars ran 12 laps under green-yellow flags before the rain got heavier. The storm never relented, the race was postponed, and those laps were wiped out. The resumption covered all 400 laps.

# Roanoke-Chowan Pork-Fest
The **Roanoke-Chowan Pork-Fest** is an annual regional event held each May since 2002 on the grounds of the Brady C. Jefcoat Museum in Murfreesboro, North Carolina. It is noted as a showcase to sample the type of cooking the region is famous for.
Largely a barbecue cooking contest, funds from the event benefit the maintenance and operation of the Museum. Judgement of the winner is performed by 3 certified, licensed judges selected from a list of approved judges from the North Carolina Pork Council.
In 2010, the first place prize was awarded as a tie for the first time to Fred Woodard of Smithfield, Virginia and J.W. Condon of Newport, North Carolina. The competition is sanctioned by the North Carolina Pork Council and is part of the Whole Hog Barbecue Series where the winners of this competition compete for the state championship in Raleigh each October. Several winners of the Roanoke-Chowan Pork-Fest have won the state championship including one year where the first, second and third place winners of the state championship were from this competition.

# Eastern Railroad
The **Eastern Railroad** was a railroad connecting Boston, Massachusetts to Portland, Maine. Throughout its history, it competed with the Boston and Maine Railroad for service between the two cities, until the Boston & Maine put an end to the competition by leasing the Eastern in December 1884. Much of the railroad\'s main line in Massachusetts is used by the MBTA\'s Newburyport/Rockport commuter rail line, and some unused parts of its right-of-way have been converted to rail trails.
## Origins and construction {#origins_and_construction}
thumb\|upright=1.5\|1880 plan for the Eastern Junction, Broad Sound Pier, and Point Shirley Railroad. This map shows Eastern\'s tracks from Lynn into East Boston, as well as the Grand Junction tracks from East Boston to downtown Boston and the Chelsea cut-off between the two routes. The Eastern Railroad Company of Massachusetts was first chartered on April 14, 1836. The line followed the coastline, in contrast to the Boston & Maine\'s inland route through Massachusetts, and it served North Shore cities such as Lynn, Salem, Beverly, and Newburyport. In keeping with its coastal route, the Eastern Railroad chose to place its Boston terminus in East Boston, a short ferry ride from downtown Boston, rather than building tracks around Chelsea Creek, the Boston Inner Harbor, and the Mystic River into the city.
Construction on the railroad began in August 1837 after state loans and a change of route were approved in April. The first stretch to be built was from East Boston to Salem (13 mi), completed August 27, 1838. An extension to Ipswich (12 mi) was completed on December 18, 1839, followed by an extension to Newburyport (9 mi) on August 28, 1840, and to the New Hampshire state line (10 mi) on November 9, 1840. A branch line to Marblehead opened on December 10, 1839, followed by a branch line to Gloucester in 1847 and a branch line to Amesbury in 1848. In 1861, the Gloucester branch was extended to Rockport. On August 31, 1846, the Eastern leased the Essex Branch Railroad for 5 years, and in 1865 it bought the branch outright.
The railroad\'s short segment through New Hampshire was chartered as a separate corporation by the New Hampshire legislature on June 18, 1836. Construction on the New Hampshire segment began in 1839 and was completed on November 9, 1840. On February 18, 1840 the Eastern Railroad of New Hampshire was leased to the Eastern Railroad of Massachusetts for a period of 99 years.
By 1843, the Eastern entered into an agreement with the Boston & Maine to share the Portland, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad\'s tracks in Maine, which allowed both railroads to begin providing Boston-to-Portland service. On April 28, 1847, the Eastern and the Boston & Maine co-leased the Portland, Saco & Portsmouth for a period of 99 years.

# Eastern Railroad
## Competition and decline {#competition_and_decline}
By the 1850s, the Eastern was experiencing difficulties because of the out-of-the-way location of its East Boston terminal. In 1845, the competing Boston & Maine Railroad had completed its own tracks into Boston so it would no longer have to use the Boston and Lowell Railroad\'s tracks. It also built a terminal in downtown Boston just north of Haymarket.
Several independent railroads sought to take advantage of the situation by building branch lines that would connect the Eastern Railroad\'s North Shore tracks with the Boston & Maine line going into the city. In 1850, the South Reading Branch Railroad opened, connecting the Eastern at Salem to the Boston & Maine at Wakefield, and in 1853, the Saugus Branch Railroad opened, connecting the Eastern at Lynn to the Boston & Maine at Malden. The Eastern bought the South Reading Branch Railroad in 1851 and the Saugus Branch Railroad in 1866.
The Eastern Railroad was finally able to offer service to downtown Boston when it leased the Grand Junction Railroad in 1852. The Grand Junction was a short line chartered in 1847 that connected the East Boston waterfront to the Boston & Maine, Boston & Lowell, and Fitchburg railroads in East Somerville, and it was eventually extended to connect to the Boston and Worcester Railroad in Allston. After leasing the Grand Junction, the Eastern built a cut-off from the Grand Junction to its own tracks in Chelsea and built a terminal in downtown Boston, approximately on the site of the present North Station. It also disconnected the Saugus Branch from the Boston & Maine at Medford, redirecting it south to the Grand Junction in Everett. In 1866, the Boston & Worcester bought the Grand Junction, but allowed the Eastern to keep its track rights for the sections it used as part of its main line.
In the 1870s, the Eastern expanded its service in New Hampshire. It leased the Portsmouth, Great Falls and Conway Railroad for 60 years on January 6, 1872, the Wolfeborough Railroad for 68 years on August 14, 1872, and the Portsmouth and Dover Railroad for 50 years on February 1, 1874.
On August 14, 1872, the Eastern leased the Newburyport City Railroad for 20 years. In 1872, Eastern also bought the Portland, Saco, and Portsmouth Railroad outright. In 1881, the Chelsea Beach Railroad was founded, and it was leased by the Eastern on July 2 of the same year.
On December 23, 1883, the competition between the Eastern Railroad and the Boston & Maine ended when the Boston & Maine leased the Eastern for 54 years. On May 9, 1890, the Boston & Maine purchased the Eastern outright, dissolving the company. The Boston & Maine incorporated the Eastern\'s tracks into its Portland Division as an alternative route to Maine and for continued service to the North Shore.
In 1893, North Station was opened in downtown Boston as a union station, consolidating under one roof the Boston terminals of four different railroads: the Eastern, the Boston & Maine, the Boston & Lowell (which was also controlled by the Boston & Maine), and the Fitchburg Railroad (which the Boston & Maine bought in 1900). And in 1905, the Grand Junction and Eastern Railroads combined their East Boston terminals.
## Incidents
`{{see also|Great Revere Train Wreck of 1871}}`{=mediawiki}
On September 28, 1841, noted abolitionist Frederick Douglass and James N. Buffum (later mayor of Lynn) were forcibly ejected from a train at Lynn station after Douglass refused to sit in the segregated \"Jim Crow car\" in an early protest against the racial discrimination by the railroad. Fearing additional incidents, railroad superintendent Stephen A. Chase ordered that trains not stop at Lynn for several days. The actions by Douglass sparked further protests in Massachusetts against the discriminatory policies of the Eastern and other railroads.
On November 3, 1848, an accident occurred in Salem, Massachusetts. A southbound train heading for Marblehead missed an unattended switch and was routed onto the wrong track, into the path of a train heading north from Lynn to Salem. The two engines collided head-on. A total of 6 people were killed on the Marblehead train, and about 40 people were injured in the wreck. The Salem-bound train was carrying a party of Whigs, and the Marblehead-bound train was carrying a party of Democrats who were campaigning for the 1848 presidential election that would take place four days later.
On August 26, 1871, a series of dispatching errors allowed the *Portland Express* to collide with the rear of a stalled local train in Revere, telescoping the rear cars of the stopped train. Coal-oil lamps ignited the wreckage, and 29 died while 57 were injured. Several prominent Boston citizens were killed, bringing national publicity to the accident. It remains the deadliest railroad accident in Massachusetts history.

## Current status {#current_status}
In the 1970s, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) acquired the Eastern Railroad\'s tracks along with several other Boston & Maine passenger lines. It currently runs commuter rail service on the Newburyport/Rockport Line to Newburyport and Rockport along the Eastern\'s former main line and the Gloucester & Rockport branch line.
Portions of the former Portsmouth, Great Falls and Conway Railroad, once operated by the Eastern Railroad and later run as the Conway Branch of the Boston & Maine, are in active service as the heritage Conway Scenic Railroad.
Some unused parts of the Eastern\'s right-of-way have been converted into rail trails, including the Eastern Trail in Maine, the Clipper City Rail Trail in Newburyport, the Marblehead Rail Trail in Marblehead, and the Old Eastern Marsh Rail Trail in Salisbury, Massachusetts. In August 2019, New Hampshire purchased 9.6 miles from Hampton to Portsmouth for \$5 million for use as a rail trail.
The Newburyport City Branch between Parker Street and Water Street, abandoned in 1971, was converted to Phase II of the Clipper City Rail Trail in 2019. In July 2020, the state awarded \$100,000 for construction of an additional 1200 ft section north of Water Street

# Orleans High School (Vermont)
**Orleans High School** was a school in Orleans, Vermont. It functioned as both a high school and middle school to the village of Orleans and surrounding towns for nearly half a century. The high school was replaced by the Lake Region Union High School on September 11, 1967. Orleans alumni continue to meet annually. They fund scholarships for descendants of graduates.
The building today is used to educate elementary students from the village.
## History
Orleans graduated its first class in 1901 from a wooden two-story building where the Federated Church now stands on School Street. While that school was differed in name and location from the eventual brick structure on School Street, its graduates were recognized as part of a continuous alumni for attendees. Forty students graduated from 1901-1910.
In 1914, 35 students were attending the high school out of a total for the system of 232. The purpose of all high schools of that time was to prepare scholars for college. To improve attendance and the overall efficiency of the system as per the High school movement, the school began to offer Agriculture, Home Economics, and Commercial.
The final structure was opened in March 1923. The old building became the elementary school, but it continued to house the Agriculture and Industrial Arts programs, as well as the Superintendent\'s office, for the town of Barton. When the regional high school opened in 1967, the elementary school moved to the vacated high school building. The old elementary school building was later sold and razed and the Federated Church was built on the site. The old high school did not have a regulation-sized gymnasium. This was not prejudicial to its use until the 1950s. After that time, The boys\' and girls\' basketball teams practiced there, but hosted home games at other locations. For many years, OHS\' \"home court\" was at Derby High School.
In 1928, there were seven faculty members. This had increased to 13 by 1967. Until the regional high school opened, the principals were all expected to teach several classes, as well as to be the school\'s guidance counselor.
Besides the village of Orleans, the following towns sent their children to be educated there: Albany, Irasburg, Coventry, Brownington, and Charleston.
The first Vermont Science Fair was held at the school in 1950. An Orleans student won and went on to represent the state at the New England Fair that year.
From 1910 to 1967, 1,358 students graduated. Total for 1901--1957 was 1,398.
## Recognition
There were girls and boys basketball teams at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as baseball for boys. Basketball was the only girls sport. In the late 1950s both boys and girls played soccer. In the 1960s golf arrived for boys.
- Boys basketball, Rutland Rotary Tournament champions 1928
- Boys basketball Vermont Junior tournament champions 1933 This team won the overall state championship two weeks later, the only small school to have ever achieved this. A St. Johnsbury sportswriter dubbed the team the \"Red Rapiers\" which was thereafter used as the school mascot.
- Unmarked baseball trophy 1930s?
- Unmarked trophy from Headmasters club 1935
- Boys basketball Junior Tournament champion. Headmasters club. No year (about 1935)
- Girls Basketball Champions, Conference B 1958
- Boys basketball champions, Class I 1959
- NBL soccer champions 1965

# Wonderful Remark
\"**Wonderful Remark**\" is a song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and first released on the soundtrack album for the 1983 film *The King of Comedy*. This recording later appeared on the benefit compilation *Nobody\'s Child: Romanian Angel Appeal* and on several compilations of Morrison\'s works. At least two earlier recordings exist, one of which appeared on Morrison\'s 1998 album *The Philosopher\'s Stone*, a collection of previously unreleased tracks.
The melody is based on an earlier Morrison composition, \"Joe Harper Saturday Morning\" (recorded for the Bang label in 1967).
## Recording and composition {#recording_and_composition}
Morrison stated in an interview that \"Wonderful Remark\" was about a difficult period financially that he had spent living in New York: \"It was about people who were supposed to be helping you and they weren\'t there. It was about the business I\'m in and the world in general. A lot of the times you can\'t count on anybody.\"
The song was originally recorded in August 1969 at one of the *Moondance* studio sessions at Century Sound Studios in New York City, but this version of the song remains unreleased.
The original release (running 3:58) first appeared on the soundtrack to the film *The King of Comedy*, and in 1990 was featured on *The Best of Van Morrison* and the benefit album *Nobody\'s Child: Romanian Angel Appeal*. In 2007 it appeared on two compilation albums: *Still on Top - The Greatest Hits* and *Van Morrison at the Movies - Soundtrack Hits*.
The eight-minute version that was released on the 1998 compilation album, *The Philosopher\'s Stone*, was derived from one of the *Saint Dominic\'s Preview* recording sessions around early 1972 that took place at Wally Heider Studios and Pacific High Studios in San Francisco and at the Church in San Anselmo.
## Legacy
On 14 February 1994 when Van Morrison was awarded the BRIT Award for his outstanding contribution to British music, Beirut hostage John McCarthy testified to the importance of \"Wonderful Remark\" which he called \"a song written more than 20 years ago that was very important to us.\" McCarthy and Jill Morrell had written a book together in 1993, after McCarthy\'s release, using the lyric \"some other rainbow\" from \"Wonderful Remark\" for the book\'s title.
: *Clinging to some other rainbow*
: *While we\'re standing, waiting in the cold*
: *Telling us the same old story*
: *Knowing time is growing old

# Get on the Good Foot
\"**Get on the Good Foot**\" is a funk song performed by American musician James Brown.

It also appeared on an album of the same name released that year. Partly due to the unwillingness of Brown\'s record labels to certify sales of his previous hits, \"Get on the Good Foot\" was his first gold record. *Billboard* ranked it as the No. 99 song for 1972. In 2022, *Rolling Stone* ranked it number 15 in their list of the \"200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time\".

# Frans Hin
**Franciscus \"Frans\" Fidelio Joseph Hin** (January 29, 1906 Haarlem - March 6, 1968, Haarlem) was a sailor from the Netherlands, who represented his native country at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Ostend, Belgium.
During the second race one of the marks was drifting and the race was abandoned. Since the organizers did not have the time to re-sail the race that week the two remaining races were rescheduled for September 3 of that year. Since both contenders were Dutch, the organizers requested the Dutch Olympic Committee to organize the race in The Netherlands.
With his father Cornelis Hin as helmsmen Hin won the last two races race in The Netherlands on the Buiten IJ, in front of Durgerdam near Amsterdam. His brother Johan Hin crewed the first race in Belgium. Hin took the gold over the combined series with the boat *Beatrijs III*.
Hin became the youngest man to win a gold medal at the 1920 Olympic games aged 14 years 163 days

# Script Frenzy
**Script Frenzy**, also known as **Screnzy** `{{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|k|r|ɛ|n|.|z|iː}}`{=mediawiki}, was an international screenwriting challenge where participants attempted to write a script (for the stage, screen, or other media) during the month of April.
The event was organized by The Office of Letters and Light, the nonprofit organization behind National Novel Writing Month (\"NaNoWriMo\"). It ran each year from 2007 until 2012.
## Original format, and developments {#original_format_and_developments}
The first Script Frenzy was held in June 2007 with a goal of 20,000 words to win. In 2008, Script Frenzy was moved to April and the goal was changed to 100 pages. The goals are roughly equivalent; the change simply reflects the fact that page count is a more standard measure of script length.
Other changes include the ability for writers to team up and work as two-person teams. The functionality was given to link both writers such that their page count would be shared.
Finally, in the original Script Frenzy only screenplays and stage plays were permitted. This has been expanded to include other types of scripts including TV series, graphic novels, shorts and audio plays amongst others. For the shorter formats, participants were allowed to submit several scripts to make up the 100-page total.
## Closure of the event {#closure_of_the_event}
On June 26, 2012, it was announced that Script Frenzy was being closed down. The decision was made by the Office of Letters and Lights board after close consideration and a vote. The event was cancelled due to a continued decline in participants and, likewise, a continued decline in donations.

# Phoenix Mustangs
The **Phoenix Mustangs** were a professional minor league ice hockey team in the West Coast Hockey League (WCHL). The Mustangs played at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the grounds of the Arizona State Fair, from the 1997--98 season through the 2000--01 season. The Mustangs came into existence after the demise of the International Hockey League\'s Phoenix Roadrunners who lost funding from a local Indian community and ceased operations after the 1996--97 season. Their arrival rekindled a decades long rivalry between Phoenix and San Diego based teams in several minor leagues.
The Mustangs were quite successful on the ice their first three seasons, including winning the WCHL\'s Taylor Cup Championship in 2000 with a four-game sweep of the Tacoma Sabercats, with an exciting sudden-death overtime victory at the Coliseum in game four. The Mustangs were not so blessed the following season, finishing last in their final season in 2000--01. The Mustangs were unable to secure a new lease with the Coliseum for the 2001--02 season and were forced to cease operations.

# 2008 United States Senate election in Michigan
The **2008 United States Senate election in Michigan** was held on November 4, 2008 Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Carl Levin won reelection to a sixth and final term. Levin carried 77 of Michigan's 83 Counties, and also carried every House district.
## General election {#general_election}
### Candidates
- Scott Boman (Libertarian)
- Doug Dern (Natural Law)
- Carl Levin, incumbent U.S. Senator (Democratic)
- Jack Hoogendyk, State Representative from Kalamazoo (Republican)
- Harley Mikkelson (Green)
- Michael Nikitin (U.S. Taxpayers)
### Campaign
Levin\'s 2002 opponent Andrew Raczkowski considered running again, but military commitments forced him to drop out. State representative Jack Hoogendyk declared his candidacy to challenge Levin. Troy engineer Bart Baron was also running. Baron apparently failed to qualify for the August 5, 2008 party primary ballot in the Michigan Secretary of State\'s office. So only Hoogendyk was listed on the Republican side in the Michigan primary election. Levin was unopposed on the Democratic side. The filing deadline for candidates to run was May 13.
Minor party candidates who ran included Harley Mikkelson of the Green Party, Scotty Boman of the Libertarian Party, Michael Nikitin of the U.S. Taxpayers Party and Doug Dern of the Natural Law Party. Levin, who maintained a huge fundraising advantage over his opponents, easily won re-election.

### Debates
On October 19 WGVU Public television hosted a Senatorial debate to which only Democratic Senator Carl Levin and Republican State Representative Jack Hoogendyk were invited. They debated topics such as the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.
Levin blamed job loss in Michigan on President Bush, while Hoogendyk blamed Levin. Levin supported a Federal bailout of the auto industry, while Hoogendyk opposed the idea.
The event, which was moderated by WZZM TV 13\'s News anchor Peter Ross, was met with protest by supporters of excluded candidates. One of the protesters was Libertarian candidate Scotty Boman, who asserted that he met the stations qualifications. WGVU required the candidates to show at least 5% support in a statewide scientific poll, but Boman said no statewide poll had been done that included him. An exclusive WXYZ poll included all of the candidates, but only contacted respondents in the 7th and 9th Congressional district. Boman also claimed that public broadcasters should have invited the other candidates since it is supported with tax dollars.
Senator Carl Levin and State Representative Jack Hoogendyk met again, the following day (October 20), for a forum hosted by the Detroit Economic Club.

# 2008 United States Senate election in Michigan
## Results
Levin was declared the winner right when the polls closed in Michigan. Levin won all but six of Michigan\'s 83 counties. Levin unsurprisingly won major metropolitan areas, such as Wayne County home of Detroit or Ingham County home of Lansing. He also became the first Democratic Senator since Donald Riegle in 1982 to carry Kent County, home of Grand Rapids. When combining the suburban and rural counties, it was too much for Hoogendyk to overcome. Levin\'s 3,038,386 votes is the most received by any political candidate in the state\'s history. `{{Election box begin

# Johan Hin
**Johannes \"Johan\" Jozef Antonius Hin** (January 3, 1899 Haarlem -- June 29, 1957 Haarlem) was a sailor from the Netherlands who represented his native country at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Ostend, Belgium.
During the second race one of the marks was drifting and the race was abandoned. The organizers did not have time to re-sail the race that week, and so the two remaining races were rescheduled for September 3 of that year. Because both contenders were Dutch, the organizers requested that the Dutch Olympic Committee hold the race in the Netherlands.
With his father Cornelis Hin as helmsmen, Hin won the first race. His brother Frans Hin crewed the remaining races in the Netherlands on the Buiten IJ, in front of Durgerdam near Amsterdam. Hin took the gold over the combined series with the boat *Beatrijs III*.
In the 1924 Olympics, Hin took part in the French National Monotype and took 5th place.
Later Hin went to a monastery. There he specialized in making documentary films. His first films had sailing as topic

# Sammy Walker (singer)
**Sammy Walker** (born July 7, 1952 near Atlanta, Georgia) is an American singer-songwriter. Influenced by the folk and country sounds of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams, Walker emerged in the mid-1970s with two albums for the Folkways label and two albums for Warner Brothers. While appearing on Bob Fass\'s radio show in 1975, he caught the ear of Phil Ochs, who was impressed by the young songwriter and agreed to produce his first album with Folkways. Walker recorded two albums for Warner Brothers under the tutelage of producer Nick Venet, and toured Europe in 1978 and again in 1986. After recording an album of Woody Guthrie songs in 1979, he did not record again until 1989.
Walker, who at least once downplayed his own success by claiming he has \"only 50 fans, one in each state\", performed an opening set for Ochs at Gerde\'s Folk City on October 19, 1975, when Ochs drunkenly staged what Ochs billed as the final Phil Ochs concert, and the first John Train performance. Midnight was when Ochs was supposedly changing his stage name to Train, but his inebriated behavior incurred the wrath of the Gerde\'s staff to the point where the waitress was no longer serving Ochs, amid the soon-to-be-suicidal folksinger\'s rambling tirades against, among other musings, \"Johnny Cash, BEFORE amphetamines\". Having finished his set including his signature tune \"Closing Time\", Walker watched Ochs with apparent embarrassment from the wings. Roger McGuinn was also on the bill for this concert. An uncirculated monochrome videotape and an audience tape converted to a double CDR exist of the event.

# College National Finals Rodeo
The **College National Finals Rodeo** (**CNFR**), sanctioned by the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA), is held every June. The inaugural event was hosted at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California, in 1949. Since 1999, the CNFR has been held at the Ford Wyoming Center in Casper, Wyoming. Both men and women rodeo athletes compete for the honor of becoming national champions in their events. Colleges also compete as teams for the chance of winning the men\'s and women\'s national college rodeo championship.
There was no CNFR in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the 2024 event, Madalyn Richards from Texas A&M won the women\'s all-around title Wacey Schalla from Clarendon College won the men\'s all around title

# Grove of Fetters
A **grove of Fetters** (Old Norse: ***Fjöturlundr***) is mentioned in the Eddic poem \"Helgakviða Hundingsbana II\":
> : Helgi obtained Sigrún, and they had sons. Helgi lived not to be old. Dag, the son of Högni, sacrificed to Odin, for vengeance for his father. Odin lent Dag his spear. Dag met with his relation Helgi in a place called Fiöturlund, and pierced him through with his spear. Helgi fell there, but Dag rode to the mountains and told Sigrún what had taken place.
> : ― *Helgakviða Hundingsbana II*, Thorpe\'s translation
The description is often compared with a section by Tacitus on a sacred grove of the Semnones:
> : At a stated period, all the tribes of the same race assemble by their representatives in a grove consecrated by the auguries of their forefathers, and by immemorial associations of terror. Here, having publicly slaughtered a human victim, they celebrate the horrible beginning of their barbarous rite. Reverence also in other ways is paid to the grove. No one enters it except bound with a chain, as an inferior acknowledging the might of the local divinity. If he chance to fall, it is not lawful for him to be lifted up, or to rise to his feet; he must crawl out along the ground. All this superstition implies the belief that from this spot the nation took its origin, that here dwells the supreme and all-ruling deity, to whom all else is subject and obedient.
Due to the resemblance between the two texts, some scholars have identified the deity of the Semnones with an early form of Odin. Others suggest an early form of Týr may have been involved, as he is the Germanic continuation of Proto-Indo-European sky-father \'\*dyeus\', whose cognates are Jupiter and Zeus. Furthermore, Tacitus reports that the Germanic peoples of his age regarded a \"Tuisco\" or \"Tuisto\" as the progenitor of mankind, which is sometimes surmised to be a Latinisation of Proto-Germanic \'\*Tiwaz\', which later became \"Týr\" in Old Norse

# Stefan Schnabel
**Stefan Artur Schnabel** (February 2, 1912 -- March 11, 1999) was a German-American actor who worked in theatre, radio, films and television. After moving to the United States in 1937 he became one of the original members of Orson Welles\'s Mercury Theatre repertory company. He portrayed Dr. Stephen Jackson on the CBS daytime TV series *Guiding Light* for 17 years.
## Biography
Stefan Artur Schnabel was born February 2, 1912, in Berlin, Germany. He was the younger son of classical pianist Artur Schnabel (who was Jewish) and contralto Therese Behr Schnabel. His older brother was pianist Karl Ulrich Schnabel.
\"My father used to say that there was never a doorknob in our house that wasn\'t in somebody\'s hand,\" Schnabel said in a 1981 interview. \"Both of my parents were musicians and teachers and so our house was always filled with pupils, and I would entertain them by dancing or doing something in pantomime since most of the pupils were foreigners.\" As a child Schnabel was assigned to teach the German language to his parents\' American and Australian students. He had such proficiency in English that he was able to join The Old Vic repertory theatre company when his family emigrated to England after Hitler\'s rise to power. He studied with the Old Vic for four years. He made his debut in 1933 as an off-stage wind noise in *The Tempest*, and later played in *Antony and Cleopatra* (1934), *Major Barbara* (1935), *As You Like It* (1936), and the 1937 production of *Hamlet* starring Laurence Olivier.
In March 1937, Schnabel moved to New York and began working in radio. Among the first of the more than 5,000 radio shows on which he performed was *The Shadow*, starring Orson Welles. Schnabel joined Welles\'s Mercury Theatre repertory company and appeared as Metellus Cimber in its inaugural Broadway production, a landmark modern-dress production of Shakespeare\'s *Julius Caesar* (1937--38) that evoked Nazi Germany. When Welles created the CBS radio series, *The Mercury Theatre on the Air*, Schnabel performed on episodes including the legendary broadcast, \"The War of the Worlds\".
When Mercury Productions moved to the West Coast, Schnabel was one of the actors Welles cast in *Heart of Darkness*, the film he first proposed for RKO Pictures before settling instead on *Citizen Kane*. After elaborate pre-production the project never reached production because Welles was unable to sufficiently trim its budget to compensate for lost revenue in the wartime overseas market.
Schnabel made his screen debut in a subsequent Mercury production, the 1943 film, *Journey into Fear*. However, Schnabel was filmed in 1933 in a work that was completed in 2016 under the title *Das Kalte Herz* (*The Cold Heart*). He was in more than 60 films, including *The Iron Curtain* (1948), *Houdini* (1953), *The Counterfeit Traitor* (1962), *Firefox* (1982) and *Green Card* (1990).
Schnabel became a naturalized U.S. citizen in August 1941. He served with the U.S Army\'s Office of Strategic Services during World War II, broadcasting propaganda messages to his native Germany and working with the underground in England, Germany, France and the Netherlands. He was awarded a Certificate of Merit.
After his war service Schnabel performed in the Orson Welles--Cole Porter Broadway musical extravaganza, *Around the World* (1946). His other stage credits include the 1938 Mercury Theatre production of *The Shoemaker\'s Holiday*; Eva Le Gallienne\'s 1944 revival of *The Cherry Orchard*; Peter Ustinov\'s *Love of Four Colonels* (1953); and *A Very Rich Woman* (1965) by Ruth Gordon. He portrayed physicist Hans Bethe in *In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer* (1969), appeared in Tom Stoppard\'s adaptation of Schnitzler\'s *Undiscovered Country* (1981), and was again on Broadway in Mike Nichols\'s production of Andrew Bergman\'s *Social Security* (1986).
After appearing in more than 100 prestigious television dramas, Schnabel became best known for portraying Dr. Stephen Jackson for 17 years (April 21, 1966--81) on the CBS-TV soap opera, *Guiding Light*.
\"When I first became Dr. Jackson, he was a curmudgeon, a very gruff character with a heart of gold. Now I am exclusively good and sweet,\" Schnabel told *The New York Times* in 1981. \"A soap opera is the only dramatic form I know where you can develop a character for 25 years. ... As an actor, if your role on a soap opera is long-lasting, it\'s possibly the only financial security you know, and it enables you to more or less pick and choose what you want to do with the rest of your time.\"
Schnabel and actress Marion Kohler, a fellow member of the *Around the World* cast, were married in 1947. They lived in Rowayton, Connecticut, for 45 years, founded the Rainbow Theater in Norwalk, and appeared there together in plays including T. S. Eliot\'s *The Confidential Clerk* and Friedrich Dürrenmatt\'s *The Physicists*. In 1992 the couple moved to Rogaro, Italy where Schnabel died on March 11, 1999, aged 87, following a heart attack.

# Rhizodus
***Rhizodus*** (\"root tooth\") is an extinct genus of basal, finned tetrapodomorphs (the group of sarcopterygians that contains modern tetrapods and their extinct relatives). It belonged to Rhizodontida, one of the earliest-diverging tetrapodomorph clades. Two valid species have been described, both of which lived during the Early Carboniferous epoch. The type species ***R. hibberti*** is known from the Viséan stage of the United Kingdom, whereas the species ***R. serpukhovensis*** is from the Serpukhovian of Russia. Some fossils referred to the genus *Rhizodus* have also been found in North America.
## History
A partial lower jaw attributed to a rhizodontiform, PIN no. 2878/581, was discovered in 2000 in the Zaborie quarry of Serpukhovsky District, Russia. The specimen consists of the middle part of the lower jaw, which includes the two coronoid fangs as well as marginal teeth. In 2022, it was formally described as the holotype of the new species *R. serpukhovensis*. Dating from the Serpukhovian, it was `{{as of|2022|lc=y}}`{=mediawiki} the youngest known specimen of *Rhizodus*, and the first known from Russia.
No near-complete adult skeleton of *Rhizodus* has been found, and the known material is limited to isolated fragments. Given explanations include taphonomic bias due to large body size, but also weak endochondral ossification in rhizodontids, and a lack of strong cranial sutures between skull bones.
## Description
The most notable characteristics of *Rhizodus*, compared to other giant rhizodonts such as *Barameda*, were the two 22 cm fangs located near the front of its jaws, followed by other teeth scaling downwards in size. *Rhizodus* was a giant apex predator that resided in freshwater lakes, river systems and large swamps, with *R. hibberti* measuring 5.14 - long and weighing 1 -. It fed on small to medium-sized amphibians, using its teeth to kill prey and rip it into digestible sizes, rather than swallowing prey whole like other, smaller-toothed sarcopterygians.
Fossil skin imprints show that *Rhizodus* had large, plate-like scales, similar to those found on modern day arapaima.
In *Rhizodus*, the pelvic fins consisted of a femur articulating with three radial bones. This is unlike modern sarcopterygians and other known fossils, where the femur articulates with two bones, the tibia and fibula, which is believed to be the basal condition. The femur and the three radial bones in *Rhizodus* are thought to originate respectively from the stylopod and zeugopod, although without homology between the individual radials in *Rhizodus* and those in other tetrapods. The pectoral fins comprised a humerus articulating with a radius and ulna, making them closer to the tetrapod condition.
## Taxonomy
*Rhizodus* is part of the eponymous clade Rhizodontida, usually considered to be an early-diverging tetrapodomorph branch. However, the discovery of *Hongyu* in 2017, showing a mosaic of rhizodont-like and tetrapod-like characters, has questioned this placement. The phylogeny below comes from a study performed by Clement et al. in 2021, which recovered Rhizodontida as basal tetrapodomorphs positioned crownwards of *Kenichthys* and *Tungsenia*. `{{clade

}}
}}`{=mediawiki}
While the genera *Rhizodus*, *Strepsodus* and *Archichthys* are considered well-established, distinguishing characters focus on the symphysial tusks, leaving identification of other material more uncertain due to the fragmentary nature of remains. A 2020 study by Johanson et al. suggested dividing rhizodont humeri into four morphogroups. Morphogroup III specimens, characterized by a large preaxial process extending dorso-ventrally, were identified with *Rhizodus*, tentatively extending the range of the genus to the Tournaisian.
## Diet
The diet of *Rhizodus* included medium-sized fish and tetrapods. It has been proposed that *Rhizodus* lunged at terrestrial, shorebound prey, just like a modern-day crocodile

# Alabama State Route 33
**State Route 33** (**SR 33**) is a 50.609 mi state highway in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Alabama. The southern terminus of the highway is at its intersection with U.S. Route 278 (US 278) at Double Springs. The northern terminus of the highway is at its intersection with US 72 Alt. and SR 20 at Courtland.
## Route description {#route_description}
In Double Springs, SR 33 junctions with SR 195 and US 278. SR 195 continues south to Jasper on SR 33\'s right-of-way. SR 195 continues northwest to Haleyville at a point just west of this junction along US 278.
The route continues through the William B. Bankhead National Forest to Grayson, where it junctions with Winston County Road 63, a short-route to Houston.
The route crosses the Lawrence County line and junctions with Cranal Road, which leads to SR 195 and Haleyville. It makes multiple curves as it journeys through the forest. It makes a curve from north to the southeast and then north again as it leaves the National Forest. This curve is easily recognizable on road maps. The route descends down a hill and enters Wren, finally leaving the National Forest. It junctions with SR 36 and enters Moulton soon after. The route junctions with County Road 460, which is the old SR 24 right-of-way. The route continues north to SR 24\'s new alignment---a four-lane divided highway---and passes by an electrical zone. It junctions with SR 157 and leaves Moulton. The route passes through slightly curvy terrain for the next few miles, entering Courtland eventually. The route reaches its northern terminus at SR 20/US 72 Alt.
## History
The current incarnation of SR 33 was formed in 1957, when the route designations for SR 33 and SR 36 were swapped

# Constantin Ticu Dumitrescu
**Constantin-Grigore Dumitrescu**, also known as **Constantin Ticu Dumitrescu** or **Ticu Dumitrescu** (27 May 1928 -- 5 December 2008), was a Romanian politician and president of the Association of Romanian Former Political Prisoners. He was noted as a leading figure in the anti-communist resistance in Romania and for initiating the country\'s Uncovering the Securitate law.
## Background
Dumitrescu was born on May 27, 1928, in Ciumați (now Olarii Vechi), a village in Olari commune, Prahova County. He studied law at the University of Bucharest, but was arrested by the Communist authorities in 1949 due to his political activities. He then worked as a construction laborer after he was rejected by Romanian universities when he attempted to go back to school. Dumitrescu was incarcerated again in 1958 and was sentenced to 23-year forced labor on the charge of conspiring against the state. He went through many prisons, including those in Ploiești Prison, Târgșor, Brașov, Jilava, Mărgineni Prison, Galați, Botoșani, and Văcărești, and the forced labor camp at Poarta Albă, on the Danube--Black Sea Canal. He was freed in 1964.
Dumitrescu became a member of the Christian Democratic National Peasants\' Party and was elected to the Senate of Romania from 1992 to 2000. During his tenure, he promoted laws that protect citizens against the persecutions of the Romanian secret police as well as the interests of political prisoners. For instance, he drafted the legislation that opened the files of the Securitate, which included documents that contain information on people spying on citizens.
Dumitrescu died December 5, 2008, in Bucharest due to liver cancer and was buried in Olari. A street in Arad has been named after him

# Formula Hybrid
**Formula Hybrid** is a design and engineering challenge for undergraduate and graduate college and university students. Started at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College, and sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers, the competition is a spinoff of the Formula SAE competition based on hybrid vehicle technology. They must design, build, and compete an open-wheel, single-seat race car. This car must conform to a formula which emphasizes drive train innovation and fuel efficiency in a high-performance application.
The contest are held at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Loudon, New Hampshire. It was founded in 2006. In 2013, an all-electric category was added.
The Formula Hybrid student automotive design competition encourages the development of hybrid automotive drive trains with an emphasis on efficiency in a high-performance application. Improved efficiency in an automotive drive system can be used to increase fuel economy, performance, or both. Building on the Formula SAE program, Formula Hybrid adds an extra level of complexity: fuel efficiency.
Like Formula SAE events, the Hybrid competition includes an acceleration test, autocross and endurance events, as well as engineering and construction static events. Unlike Formula SAE, Formula Hybrid events put a greater emphasis on drive train innovation and fuel efficiency.
## Formula SAE Hybrid rules {#formula_sae_hybrid_rules}
For the Formula Hybrid competition conducted in 2007 and 2008, the Formula SAE rules for each of these years were utilized for the construction of the car, with the addition of Hybrid specific rules specifying the type of fuel and the hybrid definitions. Also defined are details of a competitor car that might be in the developmental stage defined as 'Hybrid-in-Progress' car. A \'Hybrid-in-Progress\' is an all-electric car, under the idea that next year the car will be upgraded to a full hybrid powertrain.
The difference noted in the rules state that a 'hybrid' Formula car must complete a 75-meter acceleration run in electric-only mode in less than 10 seconds. In terms of the engine capacities for the internal combustion engine, 250cc spark ignition engine or a 310cc diesel engine can be used.
Starting in 2009, the Formula Hybrid rules stood alone as a complete document, incorporating the necessary car construction and safety rules from the Formula SAE rulebook. One large change for 2009 was the fuel allotment. In 2007--2008, teams were given an allotment to cover the entire event. In 2009, this allotment was smaller, but was only applied to the endurance event. Teams were free to use as much fuel as needed for the other events, provided the car was filled by event officials.
