# Selden A. McMeans **Selden Allen McMeans** (July 1806 -- July 31, 1876) was an American physician and politician. Born near Knoxville, Tennessee, McMeans first began practicing medicine in the 1840s in Greenville, South Carolina. In 1846, he volunteered for service in the Mexican--American War. After the war ended, he moved to El Dorado County, California, where he was a member of the California State Assembly for the 12th District (1852--54) and served as the second California State Treasurer (1854--56). In the fall of 1859, McMeans moved to Virginia City, Nevada after the Comstock Lode silver strike. When the news of the firing on Fort Sumter reached Virginia City in 1861, McMeans announced that he would capture Fort Churchill for the Confederacy, but was quickly disabused of this notion by news of a detachment of Union soldiers heading from Fort Churchill to Virginia City. After the Civil War, he organized the Democratic Party in Nevada and became its first chairman. He eventually moved to Reno, where he died at age 70 in 1876

# Philip Pearlstein **Philip Martin Pearlstein** (May 24, 1924 -- December 17, 2022) was an American painter best known for Modernist Realist nudes. Cited by critics as the preeminent figure painter of the 1960s to 2000s, he led a revival in realist art. ## Biography Pearlstein was born on May 24, 1924, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to David and Libby Kalser Pearlstein. During the Great Depression, his parents sold chickens and eggs to support the family. As a child his parents supported his interest in art, sending him to Saturday morning classes at Pittsburgh\'s Carnegie Museum of Art. In 1942, when he was 18, two of his paintings won a national competition sponsored by Scholastic Magazine, and were reproduced in color in *Life* magazine. He graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in 1942. In 1942, he enrolled at Carnegie Institute of Technology\'s art school, in Pittsburgh, where he painted two portraits of his parents now held by the Carnegie Museum of Art, but after one year he was drafted in 1943 by the U.S. Army to serve during World War II. He was initially assigned to the Training Aids Unit at Camp Blanding, Florida, where he produced charts, weapon assembly diagrams, and signs. In this role, he learned printmaking and the screenprinting process, and subsequently was stationed in Italy making road signs. While in Italy, he took in as much renaissance art as was accessible in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan, and also produced over 100 drawings and watercolors depicting life in the Army. In 1946, sponsored by the G.I. Bill, he returned to Carnegie Institute where one of his fellow students was the artist\'s future wife, Dorothy Cantor. Another fellow student was Andy Warhol, who was attracted to Pearlstein because of his notoriety in the school, his high school paintings having been featured in *Life* magazine. During the summer of 1947, the three rented a barn as a summer studio. Immediately after graduating in June 1949 with a BFA, Pearlstein and Warhol moved to New York City, at first sharing an eighth-floor walkup tenement apartment on St. Mark\'s Place at Avenue A. He was eventually hired by Czech designer Ladislav Sutnar, mainly doing industrial catalog work, while Warhol immediately found work illustrating department store catalogs. In April 1950, they moved to 323 W. 21st Street, into an apartment rented by Franziska Marie Boas, who ran a dance class on the other side of the room. During this time, Pearlstein painted a portrait of Warhol, now held by the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1950, Philip Pearlstein married Dorothy Cantor, with Andy Warhol in the wedding party. The Pearlsteins moved to East 4th Street, taking over an apartment from fellow figure painter Lester Johnson, and Philip enrolled in the Masters in Art History program at New York University Institute of Fine Arts. His thesis was on artist Francis Picabia, evaluating Cubism, Abstract art, Dada and Surrealism, graduating in 1955. After graduation, he was hired by *Life* magazine to do page layouts, and was then awarded a Fulbright Hays fellowship, enabling him to return to Italy for a year, where he painted a series of landscapes. From 1959 to 1963, he was an instructor at Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn, New York , and subsequently spent a year as a Visiting Critic at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Finally, from 1963 to 1988, he was professor, and then Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Brooklyn College, in Brooklyn, New York. ## Career During the 1950s Pearlstein exhibited abstract expressionist landscape paintings. Around 1958 he began to attend weekly figure drawing sessions at the studio of Mercedes Matter. In 1961 Pearlstein began to make paintings of nude couples based upon his drawings, and in 1962 he began painting directly from the model in a less painterly and more realistic style. In an article published in *Arts Magazine* in April 1963, Sidney Tillim wrote that \"\[Pearlstein\] has not only regained the figure for painting; he has put it *behind* the plane and in deep space without recourse to nostalgia (history) or fashion (new images of man) \... He paints the nude not as a symbol of beauty and pure form but as a human *fact*---implicitly imperfect\". In 1971, Pearlstein was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for Fine Arts.

# Lety concentration camp **Lety concentration camp** was a World War II internment camp for Romani people from Bohemia and Moravia during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. It was located in Lety. ## Background On 2 March 1939 (two weeks before the German occupation), the Czecho-Slovak government ordered that a correctional facility in the form of labor camp be set up for \"people avoiding work and living off crime\" (at the time labor duty was mandatory). The construction of a camp in the municipality of Lety (in South Bohemian Region) started on 17 July during the Nazi-German occupation. The location was picked because nearby forests, owned by the House of Schwarzenberg, had been devastated by a storm. The first twelve prisoners arrived on 17 July 1940. The camp consisted of several large and small wooden barracks surrounded by a wooden fence. Josef Janovský was named commandant. Czech gendarmes guarded the places (service in such camps was considered a disciplinary punishment). Similar forced labor camps existed in Planá, Mirošov, Hradištko and other places; (mostly Czech) prisoners were typically used for hard labour such as road construction. In total, around 50,000 people went through such labour camps during the war. The total number of prisons and camps of all kinds established by Nazis within the boundaries of modern-day Czech Republic was 2,125. ## As labor camps {#as_labor_camps} During 1940, 233 persons were sent to Lety, of whom 197 had previous criminal records. During 1941, the numbers were: 537 persons, 498 with previous criminal records, and 45 persons labeled as Gypsies. There were 27 escape attempts with 25 escapees caught. The prisoners were forced to do hard work in a quarry, were treated harshly and the sick lacked medicine. Many guards, including commander Janovský, regularly stole food from the camp stores, further reducing meager rations for the prisoners. ## Situation of Romani people during German occupation {#situation_of_romani_people_during_german_occupation} Starting in 1940, Romanis were forbidden to travel. In 1942, the measures already in force in Germany were applied in the Protectorate as well and, as an immediate result, a few hundred people deemed \"asocial\" were deported to Auschwitz. On 24 June 1942, the Protectorate Minister of the Interior, Richard Bienert, ordered the collection of statistics about \"Gypsies, mixed Gypsies and people with gypsy style of life\". Around 6,500 people were recorded in these statistics (based on older records and often on skin color). On July 10, SS-*Oberführer* Horst Böhme, Chief of German Security Police, ordered Romanis to be moved into two camps: Lety for Romanis from Bohemia, Hodonín for those from Moravia. ## As \"Gypsy\" camps {#as_gypsy_camps} All pre-existing prisoners at Lety were released or transferred, except for 19 Romani already imprisoned. On 2 October 1942, the first new internees arrived. The capacity of the camp was soon exhausted. Even though new buildings were constructed, the site continued to be overcrowded. Some internees were able to secure their release by bribing officials in Prague. Internees worked on logging trees, road building and on neighbouring farms. The food was meagre and the rations decreased over time. During winter, internees were not provided sufficient clothing. Brutality on behalf of the guards was common. A typhoid epidemic started in December 1942 and did not recede until the camp was closed in May 1943. Commander Janovský was recalled for inability to deal with the epidemic and replaced by Commander Blahynka. The first transport with 94 people to Auschwitz left on 4 December 1942, and a second followed with 417 people on 14 May 1943. Most of the remaining prisoners were sent to the camp in Hodonín. ### Overall numbers {#overall_numbers} The records are generally considered incomplete and all figures can be considered minimums: - Compilation of existing data gives a total of 1309 prisoners interned in the camp - 326 deaths (estimate), including all c. 30 children born in the camp - Over 500 deported to Auschwitz ## Postwar investigations {#postwar_investigations} After the war, several trials of Lety camp personnel began. Commander Janovský was jailed and charged in 1945. The investigation was stopped in 1946 but restarted in 1948. Both guards and former prisoners gave testimony about his brutality and theft, but Janovský was acquitted. Guard Josef Hejduk was accused of torture, and former prisoners accused him of several murders. He was acquitted in 1947; the witnesses were not deemed trustworthy due to their criminal records. Harsh treatment was explained by the \"need to deal with dangerous criminals.\" Guard Josef Luňáček, also accused of torture, was found guilty of a minor offense and punished with an official warning. The Chief of Police in the Protectorate, Friedrich Sowa, was sentenced to 10 years for crimes that included extermination of Romani. The decision was later overturned, since he was acting on Himmler\'s orders, and he was expelled from the country.

# Lety concentration camp ## Forgotten and rediscovered history {#forgotten_and_rediscovered_history} After the war, the existence of Romani Nazi camps was practically forgotten outside the Romani community, except by specialized historians. The whole community of Czech Romani was annihilated and the new ones, who came from Slovakia and Romania, had no knowledge of this tragedy. During the 1970s, a large factory pig farm was constructed near the site of the Lety camp. A tourist hotel has been built on the site of the Hodonín camp. In the 1970s and 1980s, Czech historians, notably Ctibor Nečas, researched and described the persecution of Roma during the Nazi occupation, including the camps in Lety and Hodonín. The late 1990s saw heated discussions in the Czech Republic about Czech relations to the Romani and their history, partly caused by two books published during that time. In 1998 the book *Black Silence* by Paul Polansky compiled historical records and testimonials of survivors. Meanwhile, 1997\'s *And No One Will Believe You* by Markus Pape caused one reviewer to note: > Previous studies of the Romani Holocaust in Czechoslovakia have, as Pape suggests, rejected survivors' memories of extermination, executions, murders and rape carried out by the commandant and his guards, and have claimed that the camp did not function as an extermination camp. Such claims are joined to the assertion that survivors have, with the passing of time, confused what they saw with their own eyes in the camp. At the same time, previous studies have concluded that state documents exclude the possibility of such crimes having been committed. Pape succeeds, with this volume, in demonstrating that the state documents themselves not only support, but actually go further than, the eye-witness accounts; the idea that Lety really was an extermination camp is the first of the two main theses of the book\... The second thesis of the book is that the camp at Lety operated with a certain independence from the Reich and erratic control from Prague.

# Lety concentration camp ## Political symbolism {#political_symbolism} The existence of the camps (or, more precisely, that they were guarded by protectorate policemen and the existence of the privately owned pig farm near Lety) quickly became a very powerful symbol in Czech politics. The issue started to attract minor political groups seeking to receive media attention. Romani activists picked the pig farm as a symbol of the Czech stance toward the Romani, insisting it is a source of shame for the country internationally. They have repeatedly asked the government to relocate the farm. Their efforts gained further attention by a resolution of the European Parliament in 2005 asking the Czech Government to remove the farm. Opponents have criticized the massive cost of the farm\'s relocation, and insisted it has no impact on the actual life of the Romani people. They claim that the real intention of the activists is to extort money from the state and that the farm\'s removal would lead to a worsening of already tense relations between ethnic Czechs and Roma. In both 2005 and 2006, the Czech government announced its intention to buy and liquidate the farm, but later decided against it. In 2005, an exhibition of historical photographs and documentation entitled \"Lety Detention Camp: History of Unmentioned Genocide\" was held in the European Parliament and toured cities in Europe. More recently, organizations in the Czech Republic such as the Committee for the Redress of the Romani Holocaust, Dzeno Association, and Romea are working to keep the issue alive and defend the site from right-wing extremist political demonstrations. In 2017, the Czech government finally decided to buy the pig farm from company AGPI for 450 million Czech crowns (around 17.5 million EUR). The government will also pay 100 million Czech crowns for demolition of the farm. In the area it will build a heritage site managed by the Museum of Romani Culture. As 2020, the demolition was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. In early 2021, a winner of the architectonic competition was announced. Demolition of the farm began on 22 July 2022. ## Lety Stone {#lety_stone} A commemorative stone, with a plaque, was erected by the small far right party the National Party at the site of the former Lety concentration camp to reflect its opinion that it was a labour camp. The stone and plaque were immediately removed by the local authorities

# Desiring-production **Desiring-production** (*production désirante*) is a concept developed by the French thinkers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their book *Anti-Oedipus* (1972). ## Overview In opposition to the perceived idealism and repressive tendencies of Freudian theory, Deleuze and Guattari set out to describe a renewed framework of desire, incorporating both philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives towards forming a \"materialist psychiatry.\" Deleuze and Guattari write, \"\[p\]roduction as process overtakes all idealistic categories and constitutes a cycle whose relationship to desire is that of an immanent principle. That is why desiring-production is the principal concern of a materialist psychiatry, which conceives of and deals with the schizo as Homo natura.\" Deleuze and Guattari explain the concept of process and its involvement in desire. \"\[E\]verything is production: production of productions, of actions and of passions; productions of recording processes, of distributions and of co-ordinates that serve as points of reference; productions of consumptions, of sensual pleasures, of anxieties, and of pain. Everything is production, since the recording processes are immediately consumed, immediately consummated, and these consumptions directly reproduced. This is the first meaning of process as we use the term: incorporating recording and consumption within production itself, thus making them the productions of one and the same process.\" The concept of desiring-production is linked to the theory of desiring-machines and their processes (cf. Process ontology). Deleuze and Guattari portray the concept of desiring-machines through the example of Lenz\'s stroll, a narrative exemplifying schizophrenic experience. \"Everywhere it is machines --- real ones, not figurative ones: machines driving other machines, machines being driven by other machines, with all the necessary couplings and connections. \[\...\] A schizophrenic out for a walk is a better model than a neurotic lying on the analyst\'s couch \[\...\] This walk outdoors is different from the moments when Lenz finds himself closeted with his pastor, who forces him to situate himself socially, in relationship to the God of established religion, in relationship to his father, to his mother. While taking a stroll outdoors, on the other hand, he is in the mountains, amid falling snowflakes, with other gods or without any gods at all, without a family, without a father or a mother, with nature. \"What does my father want? Can he offer me more than that? Impossible. Leave me in peace.\" Everything is a machine. Celestial machines, the stars or rainbows in the sky, alpine machines --- all of them connected to those of his body.\" For Deleuze and Guattari, schizophrenic experience exemplifies an encounter with the immanent and productive reality of the universe. Schizophrenic experience is also detailed to emerge prior to the distinction of the universe into separate systems or structures of production: such as nature, man, industry, consumption, &c. Therefore, schizophrenic encounter reveals \"the real truth of the matter --- the glaring, sober truth that resides in delirium --- \[\...\] that there is no such thing as relatively independent spheres or circuits: production is immediately consumption and a recording process without any sort of mediation. \[\...\] What the schizophrenic experiences, both as an individual and as a member of the human species, is not at all any one specific aspect of nature, but nature as a process of production. \[\...\] Even within society, this characteristic man-nature, industry-nature, society-nature relationship is responsible for the distinction of relatively autonomous spheres that are called production, distribution, consumption.\" Desiring production is also linked to a denial of the \"man-nature\" distinction. \"\[W\]e make no distinction between man and nature: the human essence of nature and the natural essence of man become one within nature in the form of production or industry, just as they do within the life of man as a species. Industry is then no longer considered from the extrinsic point of view of utility, but rather from the point of view of its fundamental identity with nature as production of man and by man. \[\...\] This is the second meaning of process as we use the term: man and nature are not like two opposite terms confronting each other \[\...\] rather, they are one and the same essential reality, the producer-product.\" Desire is prior to conscious representations, operating at the level of the unconscious, \"\[t\]he power of the machine, is that one cannot ultimately distinguish the unconscious subject of desire from the order of the machine itself.\" Philosophically, desiring-production is a granular and fuzzy concept. In Deleuze and Guattari\'s work, the \"machine\" is linked to many descriptive terms. For example: celibate-machine(s), house-machine(s), organ-machine(s), celestial machine(s), alpine machine(s), photosynthesis-machine(s), &c., appear in their work. These descriptive terms qualify the underlying thematic focus of process ontology and desiring-prodution. As Deleuze and Guattari write, \"Something is produced: the effects of a machine, not mere metaphors.\" Desiring-production is also a component of Deleuze and Guattari\'s more general appropriation of pluralism and the will to power doctrine. In both frameworks, a force of appropriation of external functionalities or entities --- \"partial objects\" --- acts with a corresponding internal multiplicity, serving to characterise the process of life and reality against [molar](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1284889/) structures of representation and castration. Deleuze and Guattari write, \"\[p\]artial objects are what make up the parts of the desiring-machines; partial objects define the working machine or the working parts, but in a state of dispersion such that one part is continually referring to a part from an entirely different machine, \[\...\] Let\'s not rush to introduce a term that would be like a phallus structuring the whole and personifying the parts, unifying and totalizing everything. Everywhere there is libido as machine energy, and neither the horn nor the bumble bee have the privilege of being a phallus: the phallus intervenes only in the structural organization and the personal relations deriving from it, where everyone, like the worker called to war, abandons his machines and sets to fighting for a war trophy that is nothing but a great absence, with one and the same penalty, one and the same ridiculous wound for all --- castration. This entire struggle for the phallus, this poorly understood will to power, this anthropomorphic representation of sex, this whole conception of sexuality that horrifies Lawrence precisely because it is no more than a conception, because it is an idea that \"reason\" imposes on the unconscious and introduces into the passional sphere, and is not by any means a formation of this sphere --- here is where desire finds itself trapped, specifically limited to human sex, unified and identified in the molar constellation.\" While interested in Wilhelm Reich\'s fundamental question --- *why did the masses desire fascism?* --- Deleuze and Guattari also maintain criticism of his dualist theory, which implies a rational social reality on one side, and an irrational libidinal reality on another. *Anti Oedipus* therefore attempts to think beyond the Freudo-Marxist framework.Hardt has suggested that Desiring-production is a social or cosmological ontology. Foucault, however, has suggested against using such a model for general and systematic claims. Also published in the same year as *Anti Oedipus*, Guy Hocquenghem\'s *Homosexual Desire* re-articulated the theory of desiring-production within the emergent field of queer theory

# Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr **Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr** (March 29, 1831 -- March 10, 1919) was an English novelist and teacher. Many of the plots of her stories are laid in Scotland and England. The scenes are from her girlhood recollection of surroundings. Her works include, *Jan Vedder\'s Wife*, *A Border Shepherdess*, *Feet of Clay*, *Friend Olivia*, *The Bow of Orange Ribbon*, *Remember the Alamo*, *She Loved a Sailor*, *A Daughter of Fife*, *The Squire of Sanddal Side*, *Paul and Christina*, *Master of His Fate*, *The Household of McNeil*, *The Last of the Macallisters*, *Between Two Loves*, *A Sister to Esau*, *A Rose of a Hundred Leaves*, *A Singer from the Sea*,*The Beads of Tasmer*, *The Hallam Succession*, *The Lone House*, *Christopher and Other Stories*, *The Lost Silver of Briffault*. ## Early years and education {#early_years_and_education} She was born on March 29, 1831 (1832 is also reported), in Ulverston, Lancashire, England, as Amelia Edith Huddleston. Her father was Reverend William Huddleston, a Wesleyan minister. She was brought up in an atmosphere of culture and refinement, and early turned to books for recreation and instruction. When only nine years of age she became her father\'s companion and reader. Thus it was she read books far beyond her comprehension, but they tended to develop her mental qualities. A brief return to her father\'s financial stability allowed Barr to return to the Normal School in Glasgow where she learned the Stowe teaching method. Its principles are based on morality and lifelong learning, rather than learning by rote. ## Career On 11 July 1850, she and a prosperous local wool merchant, Robert Barr, married. The couple emigrated to the U.S. in September 1853, landing in New York City. In Chicago, Illinois, Barr tutored at home, and established a school for girls, though she was not involved for long as her husband\'s business prospects fell through and they traveled west, settled in Austin, Texas. They remained there until after the American Civil War when they moved to Galveston, where Mr. Barr became an auditor for the state, before he and four sons were stricken with yellow fever and died. Of their 12 children, several died young. With her three remaining daughters, Mrs. Barr moved to Ridgewood, New Jersey, in 1868. She came there to tutor the three sons of a prominent citizen, William Libby, in ancient and modern literature, music, and drawing; and opened a school in a small house. This structure still stands at the southwest corner of Van Dien and Linwood Avenues. Barr did not like Ridgewood and did not remain there for very long. She left shortly after selling a story to a magazine. Barr asked advice of Henry Ward Beecher, then editor of the *Christian Union*, in regard to contributions to magazines. He encouraged her to write for his paper. Through the Bouchers or Dr. Lyman Abbott, she met the Harpers and wrote for them many years. After an accident confined her to a chair, unable to employ herself otherwise, she wrote her first novel, *Jan Vedder\'s Wife*. Thereafter, she wrote a great deal. In 1869, she moved to New York City, where she began to write for religious periodicals and to publish a series of semi-historical tales and novels. By 1891, when she achieved greater success, she and her daughters moved up the Hudson River to Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, where they renovated a house on the slopes of Storm King Mountain and named it Cherry Croft. The name has been applied to that period of her career, the most productive and successful. She remained there until moving in with her daughter Lilly in White Plains in her last years. Barr had a sunstroke in July 1918 and never fully recovered. She died on March 10, 1919, in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York, where she had moved in 1914. She was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Tarrytown, New York, near her friend, Louis Klopsch. Her daughter Mary Barr Munroe became a noted clubwoman and conservationist in Florida

# Fan heater A **fan heater**, also called a **blow heater**, is a heater that works by using a fan to pass air over a heat source (e.g. a heating element). This heats up the air, which then leaves the heater, warming up the surrounding room. They can heat an enclosed space such as a room faster than a heater without a fan, but like any fan, create a degree of noise. ## Cost and efficiency {#cost_and_efficiency} Electric fan heaters can be cheaper than other heaters due to simple construction. The fan carries heat away from the device, which can be made smaller without overheating. The relatively small amount of electricity used to operate the fan is converted to additional heat, so that efficiency remains at 100%. Electric fan heaters can be more expensive to run than fuel powered heaters due to the cost of electricity. This makes them best suited to occasional use rather than as regularly used heat sources. Residential electric fan heaters are limited in capacity by the voltage of the electrical system. In 110/120`{{spaces}}`{=mediawiki}V countries, 15`{{spaces}}`{=mediawiki}A is a typical maximum, which results in many models being 1.5 kW. In 220/230`{{spaces}}`{=mediawiki}V countries, 3 kW is a maximum, however 2 kW is commonly used as it is adequate for most cases. Industrial fan heaters can draw more power than smaller commercial models. ## Control Most modern fan heaters have a power setting to determine power output. Some also have a thermostat which switches off heating when the desired ambient temperature is reached. They do not maintain perfect room temperature control, since: - the thermostat is usually attached to the body of the heater, and senses temperature there. - the basic bimetal thermostats usually have significant hysteresis. - Remote sensors and thermostats with less hysteresis are available but are less common, as they are more expensive and the basic fan heater is satisfactory for most purposes. ## Safety Electric fan heaters are unsealed appliances with live electric parts inside, so they are not safe to use in wet environments because of the risk of electrical injury if moisture provides a conductive path to electrically live parts. Electric fan heaters usually have a thermal fuse close to the heating element(s) to prevent overheating damage in the event of fan failure or air intakes becoming blocked, and a tip-over switch to shut the heater off when the fan outlet is not in the required orientation. Metal-cased heaters may perform better in the case of possible fire-causing faults than plastic-cased ones, since the case will stay intact and is not flammable, but the metal case presents a higher risk of electric shock if a heater malfunctions. Portable fuel-powered fan heaters release all the fumes of combustion into the room, creating a risk of poisoning by carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Most installed fuel fan heaters in the first world use a heat exchanger and external ventilation, avoiding that risk by venting the combustion gases to the outdoors.

# Fan heater ## Internal parts {#internal_parts} ### Residential model {#residential_model} thumb\|Typical fan heater\'s internal parts The picture immediately to the right (the top on the mobile site) shows most of the component parts of a typical plug-in electric fan heater. - The heating element is the coiled wire frame located behind the fan blades. - The thermostat is at the top left. - The heat (wattage) selector switch is at the top right. - The switch at the bottom is a normally open switch that serves as a \"tipover switch\" safety device: as long as the heater is standing upright, the switch is engaged and the circuit is closed. - The grip for the power cord is at the bottom right. thumb\|Overheat cutouts The next picture shows the two overheat cutouts. The bimetal cutout (left) operates if the device overheats because the intake is blocked or the fan fails, and resets automatically or manually depending on specification, once the heater cools after the operational fault is corrected. The thermal fuse (right) is a fail-safe backup device that will blow and disconnect the heating element permanently should the bimetal cutout fail to operate (e.g. due to its contacts welding together) and in so doing prevent extreme overheating which could result in a fire. ### Industrial model {#industrial_model} Industrial fan heaters use high-output finned heating elements in front of a fan to provide a larger airflow and higher kilowatt rating than many smaller residential fan heaters. Industrial fan heaters can be used in warehouses, shipping containers, clean rooms, shops and other general purpose heating applications. They can also be used as dryers or dehumidifiers with modified attachments or mountings. Portable industrial fan heaters tend to range from around 1.5 kW up to about 45 kW with either axial or centrifugal fans and various staged controls and over-temperature safety limit controls

# Maria van Oosterwijck **Maria van Oosterwijck**, also spelled **Oosterwyck**, (1630--1693) was a Dutch Golden Age painter, specialising in richly detailed flower paintings and other still lifes. ## Life and work {#life_and_work} Maria van Oosterwijck was born in 1630 in Nootdorp, a town located near Delft in South Holland, the Netherlands. Her date of birth is generally listed as 20 August, but some sources state that it was 27 August. Her father was a Dutch Reformed Church minister, as was her grandfather. When she was quite young, her father took her to the studio of the masterful still life painter Jan Davidsz. de Heem. Under de Heem\'s influence, van Oosterwijck developed her interest in floral painting. She became his student, and showed herself to have a talent for vividly painting realistic creations. Van Oosterwijck initially worked in Delft and later moved to Utrecht. She worked with de Heem, and years later she produced her first professional piece which had been created independently. When de Heem moved to Antwerp, van Oosterwijck had ample opportunity for independent painting. Sometime in the early to mid-1670s, she moved to Amsterdam, where her studio was opposite the workshop of fellow flower painter Willem van Aelst. Van Aelst courted her, but she refused his hand, and he reportedly stopped pursuing her because her devotion to painting was more important to her. Van Oosterwijck remained single throughout her life, but raised her nephew, who had been orphaned. In addition to being a talented painter, she was also a successful businesswoman; she obtained the services of an agent in Amsterdam to market her pieces to Germans. Among her patrons were Louis XIV of France, the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, Augustus II the Strong, and William III of England. She sold three pieces to the King of Poland. Despite the fact that her skillfully executed paintings of flowers were sought out by Dutch and other collectors, she was denied membership in the painters\' guild, because women were not allowed to join. Very few women were professional artists during the 1600s. In a 2004 book on Dutch Golden Age paintings by art historian Christopher Lloyd, van Oosterwijck was the only woman whose work was included. Early writers tended to depict female artists by correlating virtues which were traditionally held by women with similar values gleaned from interpretation of their paintings. Van Oosterwijck, who devoted her life to her painting rather than being a wife and mother, proved a challenging subject for these writers, and their accounts may not portray her as a fully formed personality. The more personal aspects of her paintings were also largely unexplored. This is in contrast to Rachel Ruysch (1664--1750), who was married and had ten children, and was written about in very personable and glowing terms. As an homage to van Oosterwijck\'s skill as a floral painter -- considered an acceptable vocation for a woman of the time -- Wallerant Vaillant painted a portrait of her holding a palette. This 1671 portrait, held in Amsterdam\'s Rijksmuseum, shows her holding a Bible in her other hand. Another portrait of her, attributed to Gerard de Lairesse, features her posing with poet Dirk Schelte. In 1673, Schelte had written a poem in tribute to the beauty of van Oosterwijck\'s paintings, as well as that of her character. The portrait appears to reference the poem, picturing van Oosterwijck, with palette and brushes, as a painter-muse, serving as an inspiration to Schelte the poet. She taught her servant Geertgen Wyntges, also known as Geertje Pieters, to mix her paints, and trained her as a painter too. After van Oosterwijck died, Wyntges lived independently, supporting herself as a painter. In 1689, van Oosterwijck created her last known painting, a still life which is in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen at London\'s Kensington Palace. This painting, *Still Life with Flowers, Insects and a Shell*, was acquired by the Royal Collection during Queen Anne\'s reign, as was another van Oosterwijck work. Maria van Oosterwijck died at her home in Uitdam, North Holland, about 12 km northeast of Amsterdam, in 1693. The date of her death is often reported as 12 November, but some sources claim it was in December. Arnold Houbraken, a contemporary biographer of Dutch Golden Age artists, eulogized van Oosterwijck, but did not consider her to be a professional artist, despite the very large sums paid for her paintings by such high-profile collectors as various members of European royalty.

# Maria van Oosterwijck ## Art Van Oosterwijck created floral paintings and still lifes with allegorical themes during a period in which such works were much sought after in Central Europe. She and Ruysch were judged to be the most eminent still life painters of the Low Countries. Van Oosterwijck\'s work, using luminous colours, is very richly detailed, sometimes demonstrating chiaroscuro techniques in her use of light and shadow. She frequently painted dark backgrounds, which resulted in increased brilliance of the foregrounds. She helped to transform the genre of the floral still life, painting realistically in a manner similar to the 16th-century Dutch trompe-l\'œil tradition. There are very few existing pieces that have been identified as being by van Oosterwijck, most of which are florals, but Houbraken determined that she had created many other still lifes. She is thought to have produced 30 paintings in her career. Many of her paintings were small-format. This was often the case for artists of the time, as large pieces tended to restrict sales opportunities to wealthier clients such as churches or the state. Through the use of symbolic elements, her paintings reflect themes commonly found in Dutch still life of the 17th-century, such as vanity, impermanence, and the obligation to devote oneself to God. Her vanitas paintings incorporate objects intended to symbolize the ephemeral nature of life; such objects may include skulls, hourglasses, books, globes, partially eaten food, bags of money, insects, wilted leaves, and flowers. She also included symbols of resurrection, giving her work a subtle bitter-sweet quality which is in contrast to some other artists of the time who sometimes, for example, would depict a large pile of skulls in order to deliver the moral message in their vanitas paintings. Van Oosterwijck was very religious, and she often symbolically represented her deeply held beliefs in her paintings. The sunflower is symbolic of turning to God. Grapes take on a symbolic religious meaning because of their use to make eucharistic wine. Even colours are used symbolically, with white denoting innocence, yellow indicating divinity, and red symbolizing martyrdom. Van Oosterwijck painted a recurring poetic embellishment into her still lifes. The red admiral butterfly (*Vanessa atalanta*) appears in various locations within most of her substantial paintings, sometimes resting on a flower stem, or on the edge of a table with a flower vase, or on a book. The butterfly was used as a device to draw the viewer\'s attention into the painting and into van Oosterwijck\'s artistic vision. The butterflies are also symbolic of Christ\'s resurrection.

# Samuel Isaac Joseph Schereschewsky **Samuel Isaac Joseph Schereschewsky** (pronounced skĕr-ĕs-kūs\'kĭ `{{zh|c=施約瑟|myr=''Shi Yuese''}}`{=mediawiki}; 6 May 1831 -- 15 October 1906), also known as **Joseph Schereschewsky**, was the Anglican Bishop of Shanghai, China, from 1877 to 1884. He founded St. John\'s University, Shanghai, in 1879. ## Early years {#early_years} Schereschewsky was born in Tauroggen, Russian Lithuania, on 6 May 1831. He appears to have been named for his father. His mother was Rosa Salvatha. Orphaned as a young boy, it is speculated he was raised by a half-brother who was a timber merchant in good circumstance. Having shown himself to be a promising student, he was given the best education available and it was his family\'s intention that he become a rabbi. From the time he left his brother\'s house at 15, he was obliged to support himself as a tutor and as a glazier. It was at the rabbinical school in Zhytomyr that he was given a copy of the New Testament in Hebrew which had been produced by the London Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. The study of that gradually convinced him that in Jesus the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament and the age-long hopes of his people had been fulfilled. At the age of 19 years, he went to Germany where he studied for a year or more at Frankfurt and for two years at the University of Breslau. To his fluency in Yiddish, Polish and Russian he added German, which he spoke like a native for the rest of his life. ## Road to China {#road_to_china} In 1854, he decided to emigrate to the United States, particularly New York City, where he connected with Messianic Jews but did not enter the church until 1855 when he was baptized by immersion and associated with a Baptist congregation. For reasons unknown, he then became a Presbyterian and went to the Western Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church at Allegheny, Pennsylvania. (Western Theological Seminary is now Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. He matriculated as Samuel Isaac Joseph, ostensibly to avoid anti-Semitism.) After more than two years, he left to enter the Episcopal Church and the General Theological Seminary, where he found a mentor in the professor of Hebrew, Samuel H. Turner. His plan to complete his remaining two years of study was interrupted when he offered himself for work in China. On 3 May 1859, the Foreign Committee voted that he be appointed missionary to China as soon as he was ordained. He was ordained as a deacon on 17 July 1859 at St. George\'s Church, New York by Bishop William Jones Boone.

# Samuel Isaac Joseph Schereschewsky ## Career in China {#career_in_china} Schereschewsky arrived in Shanghai on 21 December 1859 on the ship *Golden Rule* with Bishop Boone. On 28 October 1860 Bishop Boone ordained him to the priesthood in the mission school chapel, later known as the Church of our Savior, Hongkew. He served in Peking from 1862, including on the Peking Translation Committee. By 1861, Schereschewsky had begun his Bible translations into Chinese. The first was of the Psalms into the Shanghai dialect. He later translated the Book of Common Prayer into Mandarin with English missionary John Shaw Burdon. He returned to the United States for health reasons in 1875, and refused a call to become missionary bishop of Shanghai, since bishop Channing Moore Williams had requested division of his huge episcopate (including both China and Japan). However, two years later, Schereschewsky accepted the call to that bishopric from the Episcopal House of Bishops, after receiving assurances of financial support for his dream of building a college to educate Chinese in Shanghai. Schereschewsky was consecrated Bishop in Grace Church, New York, on October 31, 1877 and two years later founded St. John\'s College (later renamed St. John\'s University). He served as Bishop of Shanghai until 1883, when he resigned his bishopric for health reasons (having become increasingly incapacitated after suffering a sun stroke in 1881). He returned to the United States with the understanding that he could return to China as translator as his health permitted. That he did in 1895, although he became \"paralysed in every limb, and with his powers of speech partly gone, sitting for nearly twenty-five years in the same chair, slowly and painfully typing out with two fingers his Mandarin translation of the Old Testament and Easy Wen-li translation of the whole Bible\" His new translations of the New Testament and the Hebrew Bible into Mandarin were published in 1898--1899. However, Schereschewsky yearned to complete a new translation of the Bible into Wenli, China\'s classical language, finding the previous five attempts inaccurate and some even lapsing into paganism (1902). He continued his translation work, with the assistance of an amanuensis in Chinese and later Japanese, when he moved to Tokyo, Japan during his final decade. A contemporary called him, \"\[p\]robably the greatest Bible translator China ever had\". ## Death and legacy {#death_and_legacy} Schereschewsky died on 15 October 1906 and is buried in Tokyo, Japan. St. John\'s University, which Schereschewsky began with 39 students, mostly taught in Chinese. In 1891, it changed to teaching in English and the courses began to focus on science and natural philosophy. ## Veneration Schereschewsky is honored with a feast day on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA) on 14 October

# Agapetus (deacon) **Agapetus** (*Ἀγαπητός*) was a deacon of the church of Hagia Sophia at Constantinople (about 500). He was a reputed tutor of Justinian, and author of a series of exhortations in seventy-two short chapters addressed around 527 to Justinian (*Patrologia Graecae,* LXXXVI, 1153--86). The first letters of each chapter form an acrostic of dedication that reads: \"The very humble Deacon Agapetus to the sacred and venerable Emperor Justinian\" (*ἔκθεσις κεφαλαίων παραινετικῶν σχεδιασθεῖσα*). The repute in which this work was held appears from its common title, viz. the *Royal Sections* (*σχέδη βασιλικὰ*). The book deals in general terms with the moral, religious, and political duties of a ruler. In form it is quite sententious and rhetorical, and resembles closely a similar work in the romance of Barlaam and Josaphat. Both of these seem to be based on Isocrates, and on Basil the Great and Gregory of Nazianzus. The work of Agapetus was eminently fitted for the use of medieval teachers by reason of its content, the purity of its Greek diction, and its skillful construction. It was widely current in Russia providing the formulations of monarchical ideology. It was translated into Latin, French and German and was highly commended by the humanists of the Renaissance. Some twenty editions of it appeared in the sixteenth century

# Wave cloud A **wave cloud** is a cloud form created by atmospheric internal waves. ## Formation The atmospheric internal waves that form wave clouds are created as stable air flows over a raised land feature such as a mountain range, and can form either directly above or in the lee of the feature. As an air mass travels through the wave, it undergoes repeated uplift and descent. If there is enough moisture in the atmosphere, clouds will form at the cooled crests of these waves. In the descending part of the wave, those clouds will evaporate due to adiabatic heating, leading to the characteristic clouded and clear bands. The cloud base on the leeward side is higher than on the windward side, because precipitation on the windward side removes water from the air. It is possible that simple convection from mountain summits can also form wave clouds. This occurs as the convection forces a wave or lenticular wave cloud into the more stable air above. ## Importance ### Climate modelling {#climate_modelling} Wave clouds are typically mid- to upper-tropospheric ice clouds. They are relatively easy to study, because they are quite consistent. As a result, they are being analyzed to increase our understanding of how these upper-level ice clouds influence the Earth\'s radiation budget. Understanding this can improve climate models. ### Recreation The streamlines in these clouds have the steepest slope a few kilometers downwind of the lee slope of a mountain. It is in these regions of highest vertical velocity that sailplanes can reach record-breaking altitudes. ## Structure In an ideal model, a wave cloud consists of supercooled liquid water at the lower part, a mixed phase of frozen and liquid water near the ridge, and ice beginning slightly below the ridge and extending downstream. However, this doesn\'t always occur. Wave cloud structure ranges from smooth and simple, to jumbled phases occurring randomly. Often, ice crystals can be found downwind of the waves. Whether this happens depends on the saturation of the air. The composition of the ice is currently an active topic of study. The main mechanism for ice formation is homogeneous nucleation. The ice crystals are mostly small spheroidal and irregular-shaped particles. Ice columns make up less than 1%, and plates are virtually nonexistent. Multi-level mountain wave clouds form when the moisture in the air above the mountain is located in distinct layers, and vertical mixing is inhibited

# Online Film Critics Society The **Online Film Critics Society** (**OFCS**) is an international professional association of online film journalists, historians and scholars who publish their work on the World Wide Web. The organization was founded in January 1997 by Harvey S. Karten, an early online critic who discovered that membership in the New York Film Critics Circle was open only to journalists working for newspapers and magazines. Online critics have generally found it difficult to gain acceptance for their work, and one role of the OFCS is to provide professional recognition to the most prolific and successful online critics. Since 1997, the OFCS has given out annual awards that recognize the best films in about seventeen categories. These awards are noted in the established print media such as *Variety* and *The Hollywood Reporter*, and are included in their annual speculation about the ultimate winners of the Academy Awards. ## Membership Critics whose primary media affiliation is a print publication, or radio or television, are excluded; this criterion distinguishes the OFCS from associations, such as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is responsible for the annual, widely televised Golden Globe Awards. Applicants for membership in the OFCS must have published at least 100 film reviews over at least two years, and are subject to a peer review process to establish the quality of their work. Of hundreds of applications that are received, only a \"tiny number\" are accepted. As of January 2020, there were 284 members worldwide. Its membership includes writers for such film-related websites as *Apollo Movie Guide*, *DVDTalk*, *eFilmCritic.com*, *The Moving Arts Film Journal*, *FilmCritic.com* (now defunct), *FilmFocus*, *Film Threat*, *The Internet Movie Database*, and *Slant Magazine*

# Fabian Månsson **Karl Fabian Månsson** (1872--1938) was a Swedish politician. In his youth, Månsson used the pseudonym ***Dacke***, a name he borrowed from the 16th century peasant rebel Nils Dacke. Fabian Månsson was born in a poor family in Hasslö, an island in the Blekinge archipelago. His father was a fisherman. From around 1900 Månsson was in a relationship with the activist Maria Qvist and they married in 1925. Fabian Månsson worked as a navvy and became active as a radical in the Social Democratic Party, for which he also worked as an agitator, a journalist, and a poet. In 1912 he was elected to the lower house of the Riksdag where he was reelected until his death. When the Social Democratic Party was split in 1917, Månsson who always opposed centralistic rule joined the radical, revolutionary group which formed the *Social Democratic Left Party*. However, Månsson opposed communism and left the new party when its leader, Zeth Höglund, moved the party into joining the Communist International. Fabian Månsson decided to rejoin the Social Democratic Party, but continued to scrutinize it from a radical angle. Månsson wrote several historical works, including a three-volume work on Nils Dacke. He was made honorary Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Uppsala in 1932. His younger comrade Fredrik Ström wrote a biography about him, simply called *Fabian* (1948). Today there is a statue of Fabian Månsson erected at his birthplace of Hasslö, and a bust outside Stockholm City Library

# Red Prowling Devil is a Japanese manga series created by Toshimitsu Shimizu, published in Japan by Shōnen Gahousha and spanning eight volumes (or *tankōbon*). An English translation of the series, covering all eight volumes in flipped format, was published in the United States by the (now apparently defunct) ComicsOne corporation, starting in October 2002. ## Plot The story of *Red Prowling Devil* centers on Naomi, a pilot who ends up working as an operative for a secretive world power as a way out of a life sentence for accidentally shooting down a plane full of civilians. Naomi feels deeply guilty about her crime and probably would have accepted imprisonment if it were not for an ill loved one depending on the money she earns from flying missions in her red-painted MiG-29. Naomi\'s assignments take her to locales around the globe, and the ace MiG pilot becomes world-famous (or infamous) as the \"Red Prowling Devil,\" targeted by rival pilots from world air forces and terrorist organizations

# William Seth Agar **William Seth Agar** (25 December 1815 -- 23 August 1872) was an English Catholic canon. ## Life Agar was born in York. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all also called William Seth Agar, and were of the Agar family of Stockton-on-the-Forest. Three members of this family, all called Thomas Agar, were Lord Mayors of York, in 1618, 1724 and 1744. He was educated at Prior Park College, Bath, and was ordained priest there, and appointed in 1845 to Lyme Regis, Dorset. Ill health obliged him to leave Lyme twice, and in 1852 he was appointed chaplain to the canonesses of St. Augustine at Abbotsleigh, where he lived uninterruptedly to his death. In 1856 he was installed as Canon of the Plymouth Chapter. He is considered by Roman Catholics to have been \"one of the most deeply versed priests in England in ascetical and mystical theology, and in the operations of grace in souls\". He was more a profound thinker than a great reader, although he studied many theological and philosophical works, especially the published writings of his favorite author, Antonio Rosmini-Serbati, which he carefully annotated. Agar also translated Rosmini\'s *Catholic Catechism* into English

# Länsiväylä **Länsiväylä** (the **Western Highway**, Swedish: **Västerleden**) is a motorway in the Greater Helsinki area of Finland, mainly at the Helsinki conurbation. It is part of the Finnish national road 51. The road begins in Ruoholahti in western Helsinki and continues west through the island of Lauttasaari and then across the city border to Espoo. The Länsiväylä road continues all the way throughout the southern part of Espoo. It continues as a motorway until finally crossing the border west to Kirkkonummi. At the start of Länsiväylä is the Lapinlahti bridge built in 1965, which was the longest bridge in Finland for a long time. In September 2013 the average daily traffic over the bridge was 56,710 cars, according to calculations by the city of Helsinki. Länsiväylä is perhaps the most important connection between the cities of Helsinki and Espoo. Almost all bus and private car traffic between central Helsinki and southern Espoo (such as the Tapiola and Otaniemi districts) passes along Länsiväylä. Along with the beltways Ring I and Ring III, it is one of the roads with heaviest traffic in the country. It was constructed as a motorway and compared to the beltways, has been much better suited to heavy traffic. An extensive bus rapid transit network utilizes Länsiväylä, using special bus lanes. However, the Länsimetro extension of the Helsinki Metro, which was completed in autumn 2017, replaced most bus routes on Länsiväylä. A similar road, the Itäväylä (Eastern Highway, Swedish: Österleden) begins at Sörnäinen and continues eastwards towards Sipoo. ## History Building the highway started in 1961. The part between Ruoholahti and Gräsa (connection to Haukilahti in Espoo) was opened on 1 October 1965, and in the next year it was extended to Suomenoja. The highway reached Espoonlahti in 1969. The newest part from Kivenlahti to Kirkkonummi was opened for traffic on 29 October 2013. The highway was originally supposed to reach over Porkkalankatu over Hietalahdenranta and the former Helsinki harbour rail to Lönnrotinkatu and Uudenmaankatu. The Mallaskatu tunnel cutting underneath the Sinebrychoff park is a remnanet of this plan. The tunnel was supposed to become the western entrance ramp to the centre of Helsinki. Another remnant is the correction to the highway route in Salmisaari, where the highway originally branched off in order to continue straight over Porkkalankatu. Originally also Mechelininkatu had a direct connection to Länsiväylä from the northern side. Removing the connection has caused massive traffic problems, even though the greatest problems are caused by the pedestrian crossing with traffic lights and difficult public transport solutions in front of the ramp south of Mechelininkatu. The predecessor of Länsiväylä from 1933 to 1938 was Jorvaksentie, a two-lane highway leading from Helsinki to Jorvas in Kirkkonummi. Parts of the highway on the Helsinki end acting as parts of the same connection were a causeway leading from Ruoholahti to Salmisaari, as well as the original Lauttasaari bridge leading to Lauttasaari and the Lauttasaarentie street going through the entire island of Lauttasaari, which got its current name already in 1938. Jorvaksentie proper began from the western end of Lauttasaarentie, which went over bridges and causeways via the islands of Koivusaari and Hanasaari to Karhusaari in Espoo, where it continued through southern Espoo to Espoonlahti, which it went over on the Muulo bridge, and further onto Kirkkonummi up to Jorvas. There it joined the old King\'s Road going through Muurala and Kauklahti. When the new highway numbering system was taken into use in 1938, Jorvaksentie became part of Finnish national road 51. Its westernmost part was left in the Porkkala Naval Base in 1944, so the national road had to be rerouted via Kauklahti and Siuntio. Jorvaksentie later lost its status as a national road, but in 1972 Länsiväylä became a part of the national road 51 again. As southern Espoo grew in population, Jorvaksentie became hopelessly insufficient, so a motor highway was built to replace it. The part of the highway from the western part of Lauttasaari to the Kivenlahti connection, also known as Martinsilta, was built in place of the original Jorvaksentie by widening it and converting the intersections into interchanges, whereas the parts from Ruoholahti to Lauttasaari and from Martinsilta to the Espoonlahti bridge were built as new roads. The part of the highway in Helsinki was named Länsiväylä already in the planning stage in 1961. In Espoo the road was still named Jorvaksentie when the highway was built, but the name Länsiväylä was later also taken into use in Espoo. The road is still sometimes referred to as Jorvaksentie, but this name officially only refers to the part of national road 51 in Kirkkonummi. ### Construction of parallel roads {#construction_of_parallel_roads} At the same time as the highway was built, a parallel street was built to the north of it, leading from Tapiola to Martinsilta. It is named Merituulentie from Tapiola to Ring II, Kuitinmäentie from Ring II to the Suomenoja roundabout and Martinsillantie to the west of Suomenoja. The parallel roads to the west of Martinsilta are Kivenlahdentie and its continuation Vanha Jorvaksentie, which are parts of the original Jorvaksentie. There is no parallel road on Länsiväylä between Lauttasaari and Tapiola, so slow vehicles such as heavy machinery, which cannot travel on the motor highway or the light traffic way along it, have to circumvent the highway via Töölö, Munkkiniemi, Kuusisaari and Lehtisaari. There have been new connections built to the beltways and Tapiola from time to time, and on its widest part between Tapiola and Westend the highway has 12 lanes. A new connection was built at the Iso Omena shopping centre between Matinkylä and Olari in the early 2000s. There has been a parallel street to the south of Länsiväylä planned right from the start, but the connection to Haukilahti over Gräsanoja was only built in the early 2000s, and the parallel street Suomenlahdentie to Suomenoja was only built in 2016. There are separate ways for light traffic along Länsiväylä. ## Images Image:Länsiväylä_Nöykkiö.jpg\|Länsiväylä besides of Nöykkiö, time of evening rush hour, behind intersection of Suomenoja Image:Länsiväylä.jpg\|Länsiväylä, view from Koivusaari to the center of Helsinki Image:LänsiväyläLautta.jpg\|Länsiväylä, section of Lauttasaari Image:LänsiväyläWestend.jpg\|Länsiväylä next to Westend Image:LänsiväyläWestend2.jpg\|Länsiväylä next to Westend, view to Keilaniemi Image:LänsiväyläWestend3.jpg\|Länsiväylä and the towers of Keilaniemi Image:LänsiväyläWestend4.jpg\|Länsiväylä next to Westend, behind headquarters of Kone and Microsoft

# Anthesphoria The **Anthesphoria** was one of the religious festivals held in Ancient Greece in honor of Persephone\'s return from the Underworld. According to mythological tradition, Persephone\'s husband, Hades, tricked her into eating four pomegranate seeds when Zeus ordered him to let her return to her mother after he had kidnapped her. Because she ate the seeds, Persephone was then forced to spend one-third of the year in the Underworld and only allotted two-thirds of the year aboveground. This festival was held in Sicily and several other regions throughout the ancient world, with each one having distinct customs and rituals

# Patella pellucida **Patella pellucida**, common name the **blue-rayed limpet**, is a species of small saltwater limpet, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Patellidae, the true limpets. ## Range of distribution {#range_of_distribution} This limpet occurs off the eastern Atlantic coasts from Iceland and Norway, to Portugal. It is absent from the Baltic Sea, East Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. ## Shell description {#shell_description} Up to 15 mm long when fully grown, this species is easily identified by its translucent amber shell with brilliant blue spots running in lines across the top of the shell. ## Habitat The blue-rayed limpet lives primarily on *Laminaria* (kelp) in strong flowing water but also on *Fucus serratus* on the lower shore, down to about 30 m. ## Life habits {#life_habits} The larvae of this limpet species settle and metamorphose on the algal frond. Here it feeds on its host's tissue using its radula, leaving small depressions in the frond. As the limpets grow larger, they move down the stipe of the seaweed towards the holdfast, where they establish themselves by excavating a depression. This can weaken the holdfast, eventually resulting in the seaweed being dislodged by storms. The seaweed is often washed ashore, with the blue-rayed limpets still in place

# Jacques Legardeur de Saint-Pierre **Jacques Legardeur de Saint-Pierre** (October 24, 1701 - September 8, 1755) was a Canadian colonial military commander and explorer who held posts throughout North America in the 18th century, just before and during the French and Indian War. ## Family life {#family_life} He traced his lineage to a number of New France\'s prominent families. He was a grandson of Jean-Baptiste Legardeur de Repentigny (who had been elected the first mayor of Quebec City on October 17, 1663, and founded Repentigny, Quebec in 1670) and a great-grandson of explorer Jean Nicollet de Belleborne. Most immediately however, his father Jean-Paul was an adventurer and had founded a post at Chagouamigon in what is now Wisconsin in 1718. It is believed that Jacques spent a number of years there with his father where he obtained an excellent knowledge of the Indian languages and the business conducted in the trading posts. ## Military life {#military_life} In 1724 he began military service as a second ensign with the colonial regular troops. Because of his skills as an interpreter, his early active duty involved building loyalty and support among the Ojibwa, Cree, and Sioux to assist the French in future campaigns against other Indian tribes. From 1734 to 1737, he was commandant at Fort Beauharnois (on Lake Pepin, along the present day Wisconsin-Minnesota border) and caught in the middle of tribal rivalries. Fearing for himself and his garrison, he abandoned and burned the fort in May 1737. From 1737 to 1740 he campaigned against the Chickasaws and drew praise for his skills in dealing with the Indians. In 1741 he made lieutenant and was commandant of the Miami post near what is now known as Fort Wayne, Indiana for a short while. From 1745--1747 he was stationed at Montreal and carried out many military assignments, including a raid on the British colonial settlement of Saratoga, New York. In 1747 he and Louis de la Corne fought the British and their Indian allies in the Lachine area. From 1748--1750 he served at Fort Michilimackinac during which time he was promoted to captain. The whole period was spent negotiating a fragile peace between the warring Indian nations. In 1750 Governor La Jonquière appointed him Western commander to lead in the search for the western sea, a project that had been headed by Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Vérendrye who had died in 1749 while planning a new expedition. He was soon involved in a dispute with two of the La Vérendrye sons, Louis-Joseph Gaultier de La Vérendrye and Pierre Gaultier de La Vérendrye, who had been actively involved in this project with their father. To his credit, Saint-Pierre recognized their past role and apologized. During his tenure, he was quite active. He travelled several times to the area of the Red and Winnipeg rivers and Fort St. Charles on Lake of the Woods. He no doubt headquartered at Fort La Reine. At least one important post was established under his command; that being Fort La Jonquière on the Saskatchewan River (probably in the Nipawin, Saskatchewan area). The western sea explorations were not expanded much beyond that point. The story goes that when Fort La Reine was invaded by a group of Assiniboines he saved the fort by standing at the door of the powder magazine with a blazing brand and threatening to blow everyone up if they did not leave. thumb\|upright=1.1\|George Washington (left) meeting with French military commander Jacques Legardeur de Saint-Pierre in 1753 Returning from the western forts in 1753, Saint-Pierre was assigned to the Ohio Country, where the French and Canadians were building a strong presence in order to deal with the economic threat posed by British fur traders. Paul Marin de la Malgue constructed two forts, the main one being Fort Le Boeuf. After Marin\'s death, Legardeur took over Marin\'s command. The French occupation drew attention from the Virginia Colony, and its lieutenant governor, Robert Dinwiddie, sent a young George Washington with a written demand that the French leave the disputed territory. Much has been made of this event because of the later fame of the messenger; history records that Washington was impressed by Saint-Pierre in this encounter. After Washington in 1754 led an expedition that ambushed a Canadian party, Saint-Pierre was in the party sent from Fort Duquesne that defeated Washington at Fort Necessity. In 1755 Jacques led a large contingent of militia and Indians from Montreal into a battle at Lac du Saint-Sacrement (as Lake George, New York was then known) and was immediately killed. These actions contributed to beginning of the French and Indian War with the eventual formal declarations of war in spring 1756. Pierre\'s service to France in North America was valuable and extensive. He was a logical successor to La Vérendrye in the western forts and fur trade. He was awarded the cross of Saint Louis for his endeavors in military action. He was married but had no children. His widow remarried in 1757, to Luc de la Corne

# Georgia State Route 92 **State Route 92** (**SR 92**) is a 97.81 mi state highway in the U.S. state of Georgia. Its southern terminus is an intersection with US 19 Bus./US 41 Bus./SR 16 in Griffin. Its northern terminus is an intersection with SR 9/SR 120/SR 140 in Roswell. The highway connects Griffin to Roswell, via Fayetteville, Fairburn, Douglasville, Hiram, Acworth, and Woodstock. Primarily signed from south to north, SR 92 is a rural highway that travels through three county seats. It can be seen as a western bypass of the city of Atlanta. ## Route description {#route_description} The highway begins at the intersection between West McIntosh Road and North Expressway, the latter carrying US 19/US 41/SR 3, on the north side of Griffin. SR 92 runs westward away from the intersection in the middle of a commercial area of the city. The highway is a divided as it passes through residential subdivisions to exit town. Turning northwesterly on Fayetteville Road, SR 92 follows a two-lane roadway through rural Spalding County, running through a combination of woods and farm fields. The highway rounds the northern end of Heads Creek Reservoir before crossing the Flint River and into Fayette County. Past the river, the highway turns northward, running next to Lake Horton before entering the town of Woolsey. Continuing northward, the landscape transitions to residential subdivisions again as the highway enters the outskirts of Fayetteville. SR 92 follows Jimmie Mayfield Boulevard north before turning west onto Helen Sams Parkway, a divided highway. SR 92 turns back northward when it merges with SR 85; the two routes run concurrently northward on Glenn Street into downtown. In downtown Fayetteville, SR 85/SR 92 meets a pair of one-way streets that carry the two directions of SR 54. Further north, SR 92 separates from SR 85 when it turns northwesterly along Forest Avenue to exit downtown. It meanders north and northwesterly through subdivisions to exit the city near a pair of small airports, Coleman Field and McLendon Airport. SR 92 crosses into the southwestern corner of Fulton County near Fairburn, and it runs through a mixture of industrial parks and commercial zones. The highway passes over I-85, without an interchange, and crosses rail lines owned by CSX Transportation. SR 92 follows Campbellton Street through downtown, intersecting US 29/SR 14 in the middle of town. The highway then follows Campbellton--Fairburn Road north of town through an intersection with US 29 Alt./SR 14 Alt. (Fulton Parkway). At Campbellton, SR 92 merges with SR 154 to cross the Chattahoochee River and enter Douglas County. On the north bank of the Chattahoochee, SR 166 joins the concurrency, and the merged highway continues northward away from the river. SR 154 and SR 166 separate to turn to the southeast, and SR 92 continues its northward course along Fairburn Road into Douglasville. On the south side of town, the highway arcs westward and crosses I-20 at that freeway\'s exit 37. SR 92 passes into downtown and merges with to run westward with US 78/Georgia State Route 5&nbsp;/SR 8 for several blocks before turn northward again. North of town, the highway crosses into Paulding County for the first time. There it follows Hiram--Douglasville Highway north into Hiram where it crosses a line of the Norfolk Southern Railway and intersects US 278/SR 6 (Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway). North of Hiram, SR 92 meets SR 360 and SR 120 in a pair of intersections while running northward through residential subdivisions on the western edge of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The roadway follows the county line and then crosses into Cobb County. It then returns to Paulding County again near the Pickett\'s Mill Battlefield. The state route follows Dallas--Acworth Highway back into Cobb County and past Allatoona High School before meeting US 41/SR 3 (Cobb Parkway). SR 92 turns southeasterly onto Cobb Parkway to cross one arm of Lake Allatoona. SR 92 leaves the parkway to turn northward across the dividing line between Lake Allatoona, and Lake Acworth, entering Acworth. The highway follows Lake Acworth Drive through town and parallel to I-75 before crossing that freeway and entering Cherokee County, Georgia. In Cherokee County, SR 92 turns eastward along Alabama Road. The highway crosses I-575 in Woodstock. As passing through exit 7 of that freeway, SR 92 then arcs to the southeast, crossing the extreme northeastern corner of Cobb County to enter Fulton County near Mountain Park. The highway continues southeasterly into Roswell where it terminates at an intersection with SR 9/SR 120 (Alpharetta Highway) and SR 140 (Holcomb Bridge Road). The following portions of SR 92 are part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation\'s economy, mobility, and defense: - From its southern terminus in the central part of Griffin to the northern end of the US 19/US 41/SR 3 in the northern part of the city - From SR 138 in Fairburn to the northern end of the US 41/SR 3 concurrency in Acworth - From I-75 in Acworth to its northern terminus

# Georgia State Route 92 ## History ### 1920s The roadway that would eventually become SR 92 was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 42 from Fayetteville to Fairburn. By the end of 1921, SR 42\'s path was shifted to the east. Its former path was redesignated as part of SR 54. ### 1930s {#s_1} By the end of 1931, the southern half of this segment of SR 54 had a \"sand clay or top soil\" surface. In January 1932, SR 92 was established from US 78/SR 8 in Douglasville to SR 6 in Hiram. In December 1933, SR 92 was extended south-southeast to Fairburn with a ferry over the Chattahoochee River. The next year, SR 54\'s segment from Fayetteville to Fairburn was shifted southward. SR 92 was extended from Fairburn to Griffin, absorbing this segment. By the end of the year, the portion in Griffin had a completed hard surface. A portion northwest of Griffin, as well as the Fulton County portion of the Fairburn--Douglasville segment, was under construction. Early in 1935, the northern half of the Douglas County portion of the Fairburn--Douglasville segment was under construction. By the middle of the year, the southern half of this portion was also under construction. About a year later, a portion northwest of Griffin had a sand clay or top soil surface. A few months later, nearly the entire Douglas County portion of the Fairburn--Douglasville segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced. In 1938, a portion north of the Douglas--Paulding county line was under construction. By the middle of 1939, the northern half of the Fulton County portion of the Fairburn--Douglasville segment was under construction. Also, the southern part of the Douglas County portion of this segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced. Around the middle of the year, SR 92 was established from US 278/SR 6 in Dallas to US 41/SR 3 in Acworth. However, there is no indication if the highway was concurrent with SR 6 from Hiram to Dallas or if this was a completely separate segment. The crossing of the Chattahoochee River was indicated to have \"no bridge or ferry\". The northern half of the Fulton County portion of the Fairburn--Douglasville segment, as well as a portion from Douglasville to just south of Hiram, had completed grading, but was not surfaced. At the end of the year, a portion northeast of Dallas was under construction. ### 1940s {#s_2} In the early part of 1940, this segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced. Later that year, a portion south of Hiram had a completed hard surface. The entire Dallas--Acworth segment was under construction. Before the year ended, SR 92 was extended northeast and east to SR 5 in Woodstock. A portion of the highway northeast of Dallas had a completed hard surface. In early 1941, the crossing of the Chattahoochee River was indicated to have a ferry again. The entire Paulding County portion of the Douglasville--Hiram segment had a completed hard surface. A few months later, the Douglas County portion of the Douglasville--Hiram segment was under construction. In 1944, a small portion north-northwest of Fayetteville had a sand clay or top soil surface. By the end of 1946, the Acworth--Woodstock segment was shifted to a more northerly winding course. The Douglas County portion of the Fairburn--Douglasville segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced. Also, a portion in the vicinity of New Hope was hard surfaced. By the end of 1948, nearly the entire Griffin--Fayetteville segment, the entire Fayette County portion of the Fayetteville--Fairburn segment, and the entire Cobb County portion of the highway, had a sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth surface. A portion from the northern end of the SR 166 concurrency to Douglasville, and then to the Douglas--Paulding county line, as well as the entire Paulding County portion of the Dallas--Acworth segment, was hard surfaced. The next year, the entire segment of the highway from Griffin to Fayetteville was hard surfaced. ### 1950s {#s_3} By the end of 1951, the Fulton County portion of Fayetteville--Fairburn segment was hard surfaced. By the middle of 1955, the western half of the Acworth--Woodstock segment was hard surfaced. About two years later, the entire length of SR 92 from Griffin to the SR 154 intersection just southeast of the Fulton--Douglas county line, and from the northern SR 166 intersection southeast of Douglasville to the SR 205 intersection west-northwest of Woodstock, was paved. At the end of the decade, the ferry was removed from the crossing of the Chattahoochee River. SR 92 from the SR 154 intersection just southeast of the Fulton--Douglas county line to the northern SR 166 intersection southeast of Douglasville was paved. From the Cobb--Cherokee county line to just west of the SR 205 intersection, SR 92 had completed grading, but was not surfaced. ### 1960s {#s_4} By the end of 1963, SR 92 was extended east and southeast to a point just southeast of the second crossing of the Cherokee--Cobb county line. This entire extension was paved. Between 1963 and 1966, the segment of SR 92 from the SR 205 intersection to Woodstock was shifted south, which removed the concurrency with SR 5. Also, an unnumbered road was built from Hiram to New Hope. The next year, the segment of SR 92 from Dallas to New Hope was shifted to the southeast, onto this unnumbered road, which connected it more directly to the rest of the highway. The old alignment was redesignated as SR 92 Spur.

In 1972, the Hiram--New Hope segment was shifted east to travel between Hiram and Cross Roads on the previously unnumbered road. SR 92\'s old alignment was redesignated as a northeast extension of SR 92 Spur. In 1988, SR 92 was extended southeast to Roswell.

# Georgia State Route 92 ## Major intersections {#major_intersections} ## Special routes {#special_routes} ### Hiram--New Hope connector route {#hiramnew_hope_connector_route} **State Route 92 Connector** (**SR 92 Conn.**) was a connector route that existed between Hiram and New Hope. The highway that would eventually become SR 92 Conn. was established at the end of 1940 as SR 176 from SR 6 in Hiram to SR 92 in New Hope. A portion of SR 176 just west of Lost Mountain had a \"sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth\" surface. By the middle of 1950, a portion just west of Lost Mountain was hard surfaced. In 1953, a portion west of Lost Mountain had completed grading, but was not surfaced. By the middle of 1955, this entire segment of SR 176 had a sand clay, topsoil, or stabilized earth surface. About two years later, it was indicated to have a \"topsoil or gravel, unpaved\" surface. Between 1957 and 1960, it was paved. About a decade later, the segment of SR 176 between Lost Mountain and New Hope was shifted to the northeast. Its former alignment was redesignated as SR 92 Conn. In 1979, SR 92 Conn. was redesignated as SR 120 Conn. ### Dallas connector route {#dallas_connector_route} **State Route 92 Connector** (**SR 92 Conn.**) was a connector route of SR 92 in Dallas. Between 1945 and the end of 1946, it was established from SR 6/SR 120 and SR 61 in the eastern part of the city to SR 92 in the northeast part of the city. Its entire length was hard surfaced. By the middle of 1950, it was decommissioned. ### Dallas spur route {#dallas_spur_route} **State Route 92 Spur** (**SR 92 Spur**) was a spur route of SR 92 in Dallas. In 1952, it was established from SR 6/SR 120 and SR 61 in the eastern part of the city to SR 92 in the northeastern part. The next year, it was decommissioned. ### Dallas--Cross Roads spur {#dallascross_roads_spur} **State Route 92 Spur** (**SR 92 Spur**) was a spur route of SR 92 that existed from Dallas to Cross Roads. The roadway that would eventually become SR 92 Spur was built in 1939, when SR 92 was extended from Hiram to Acworth. By the end of 1948, the entire length of SR 92 that would become the spur route was hard surfaced. In 1966, the Dallas--New Hope segment of SR 92 was shifted to the southeast. Its old alignment became SR 92 Spur. In 1972, the Hiram--New Hope segment of SR 92 was shifted east. Its old alignment between New Hope and Cross Roads became a northeast extension of SR 92 Spur. In 1979, SR 92 Spur was redesignated as SR 381. On April 4, 1977, Southern Airways Flight 242 attempted a landing on the stretch of highway near New Hope after hail and heavy rain shattered its windshields and destroyed its engines. The DC-9 crashed, killing the flight crew, 60 passengers, and eight people on the ground. It also destroyed a gas station, grocery store, and other structures

# Fault coverage **Fault coverage** refers to the percentage of some type of fault that can be detected during the test of any engineered system. High fault coverage is particularly valuable during manufacturing test, and techniques such as Design For Test (DFT) and automatic test pattern generation are used to increase it. ## Applications ### Digital electronics {#digital_electronics} In digital electronics, fault coverage refers to stuck-at fault coverage. It is measured by sticking each pin of the hardware model at logic \'0\' and logic \'1\', respectively, and running the test vectors. If at least one of the outputs differs from what is to be expected, the fault is said to be detected. Conceptually, the total number of simulation runs is twice the number of pins (since each pin is stuck in one of two ways, and both faults should be detected). However, there are many optimizations that can reduce the needed computation. In particular, often many non-interacting faults can be simulated in one run, and each simulation can be terminated as soon as a fault is detected. A fault coverage test passes when at least a specified percentage of all possible faults can be detected. If it does not pass, at least three options are possible. First, the designer can augment or otherwise improve the vector set, perhaps by using a more effective automatic test pattern generation tool. Second, the circuit may be re-defined for better fault detectability (improved controllability and observability). Third, the designer may simply accept the lower coverage

In 2009, he won a fellowship from the African Humanities Program (AHP) of the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) to work on his book on post-colonial soundscapes. He is also a recipient of Kent R. Mulikin fellowship at the National Humanities Center (2019-2020). ## Works Sanga\'s research and published works focus on the church music and popular music of Tanzania, in relation to the construction of gendered, religious and national identities within the context of globalisation as well as the use of music in Tanzanian Swahili literature. His work draws from a number of theoretical perspectives from African philosophy, aesthetics of music, post colonial theory, cultural theory and continental philosophy. ### Books **2010** - *Sounds of Muziki wa Injili: Temporal and Spatial Aesthetics of Contemporary Church Music in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania*. (Lambert Academic Publishing) This book focuses on *Muziki wa Injili* (gospel music), one of the newer music genres in Tanzania. It explores the ways in which performances of this music and practices surrounding its creation and use are related to various concepts of time and space. Through ethnographic accounts and musical analyses, he examines various changes that have taken place in Muziki wa Injili since the 1980s to 2005 and he discusses the role this music genre has played in shaping people's experiences of events, identities and social relations (with particular reference to gendered, national and religious identities and relations) in Dar es Salaam. **1996** - *Nyimbo za Tanzania*. Published by the Finnish-Tanzanian Friendship Society, Helsinki This book is a songbook collection of Sanga\'s earlier compositions and arrangements of traditional songs from various music cultures in Tanzania for church choirs.

The Council met under the presidency of Bishop Caesarius of Arles. It was attended by 35 bishops: `{{div col|colwidth=18em}}`{=mediawiki} - Caesarius of Arles - Cyprianus of Bordeaux - Clarus of Elusa - Tetradius of Bourges - Heraclianus of Toulouse - Sophronius of Agde - Sedatus of Nîmes - Quintianus of Rodez - Sabinus of Albi - Boëtius of Cahors - Gratianus of Aix - Nicetius of Aux - Suavis of Comminges - Galactorius of Lescar - Gratus of Oloron - Vigilius of Lectoure - Maternus of Lodève - Petrus de Palatio`{{refn|Possibly a delegate from [[Alaric II]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Berndt |first1=Guido M. |title=Arianism: Roman Heresy and Barbarian Creed |date=15 April 2016 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-317-17865-1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8RsGDAAAQBAJ |language=en}}</ref>}}`{=mediawiki} - Glycerius of Couserans - Chronopius of Périgueux - Probatius of Uzès - Agroecius of Antibes - Marcellus of Senez - Pentadius of Digne - Caprario of Narbonne‡ - Victorinus of Fréjus‡ - Aprus of Tarbes‡ - Euphrasius of Auvergne‡ - Julianus of Avignon‡ - Sextilius of Bazas‡ - Marcellus of Apt‡ - Pappolo‡ - Leonicus of Châlons-sur-Saône‡‡ - Verus of Tours‡‡ ‡ represented by a priest.\ ‡‡ represented by a deacon. The Council of Agde promulgated 47 canons on ecclesiastical discipline. In general, its canons shed light on the moral conditions of the clergy and laity in the historical region of Septimania at the beginning of the transition from Roman social order within the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis to that of the Visigoth migrants. They are also of some importance for the study of certain early ecclesiastical institutions. Its canon VII, forbidding ecclesiastics to sell or alienate the property of the church from which they drew their living, seems to be the earliest indication of the later system of benefices. In Canon IX, the Council ruled that if married deacons or priests wish to return to marital relations, they should be deprived of all of their ecclesiastical dignities and offices; those, however, who were unaware of the prohibition, could be allowed to retain their office if they abstain in the future. In Canon X, a cleric was forbidden to visit women to whom he was not related, and could have in his house only his mother, sister, daughter, or niece. A bishop was not to ordain anyone a deacon who was not yet twenty-five years old. In order to be ordained a priest or bishop, one had to be at least thirty years of age. If a young married man wished to be ordained, he required the consent of his wife (Canon XVI). Marriage between cousins was also forbidden. Also limitations on slavery were discussed. ## Books - - - - - Mansi, J.-D.

# Cedar Valley Jaguars The **Cedar Valley Jaguars** were a minor league basketball team based in Waterloo, Iowa. The team competed in the International Basketball League (2005-06). ## History Originally named the **Waterloo Kings**, the franchise was forced by the NBA\'s Sacramento Kings to change their name. The Jaguars were owned by Eddie Diaz. The team played home games their first season at three arenas: UNI West Gym, Columbus High School, and Young Arena. All home games for the 2006 season were played at Young Arena. The team\'s first IBL season was a disappointment on and off the court, finishing with a 3-14 record (ninth of the nine-team West Division). The Kings were led in scoring by Nelson Maisonet (21.4 ppg) and were coached by Anthony Thomas. John Holmes coached the squad for the 2006 season guiding the Jaguars to a respectable 9-10 record (seventh of a 12-team East Division). The team created a buzz when they signed Tim Hardaway in 2005 to play in several games. Dennis Rodman signed a two-game contract for the 2006 season. The news of this made national media outlets

# Hazards of outdoor recreation Outdoor recreation, such as hiking, camping, canoeing, cycling, or skiing, entails risks, even if participants do not recklessly place themselves in harm\'s way. In some circumstances, such as being in remote locations or in extreme weather conditions, even a minor accident may create a dangerous situation that requires survival skills. However, with correct precautions, even fairly adventurous outdoor recreation can be enjoyable and safe. ## General safety measures {#general_safety_measures} Every hazard has its own safety measure, and every ailment a particular remedy. A standard precaution for all back country activities is carrying the \"ten essentials\", a collection of tools chosen for their utility in preventing or reacting to various emergencies. The common practice of traveling in a group improves safety in all regards. If one person is injured, group members can administer first aid or seek help. A group can avoid poor decisions that a lone traveler might make. If an emergency occurs, a group can pool its muscle power, brain power, and body heat. Another precaution is informing people outside of the group of the itinerary and expected return time (expected hiking time can be estimated using Naismith\'s rule). A communication device, such as a cell phone or a satellite phone, may help in the case of an emergency. However, with the exception of mountain tops that are in line-of-sight to populated areas, cell phone coverage in wilderness areas is often quite poor. In the wilderness one should always be prepared to hike out for help, if necessary. ## Dangerous circumstances {#dangerous_circumstances} ### Inclement weather {#inclement_weather} Blizzards, flash floods, fog, dust or sandstorms, tornadoes, and other meteorological events may or may not be predictable, and may require immediate response for survival. Lightning is a frequent and serious threat in many regions. ### Hazardous terrain {#hazardous_terrain} Backcountry avalanches are generally triggered by the immediate action of the party. Precautions include training, monitoring weather conditions to learn the history of the snow pack, digging hasty pits, modifying the route, passing one-by-one through dangerous areas, wearing avalanche beacons, and carrying avalanche probes and snow shovels. Other non-avalanche snow immersions can be similarly dangerous, including tree wells. Other mass movements include icefalls, landslides, and rockfalls. When choosing a campsite care must be taken to avoid those along with dead trees, snags, trees with large dead branches, or trees that have previously been through a forest fire. Collectively, these are called \"widowmakers\" by experienced campers. Slips may occur: - On wet rocks or logs. - When crossing streams, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, which can be dangerous due to poor visibility, uneven surfaces, smooth and algae or moss-covered rocks, and strong currents. The tops of waterfalls are especially dangerous because of fast moving water and smooth, slanted rocks. Rubber soles grip poorly on slime, compared to felt soles, crampons, or hob-nailed boots. Precautions include being aware of the danger, using hiking poles, loosening packs straps to lower gravity and in case of becoming submerged, and crossing with other people linked arm to arm or using a rope. - Because of loose material. Loose gravel or scree on top of smooth rock acts like ball bearings. Precautions include spotting the situation ahead, keeping knees bent and weight forward, using hiking sticks, and brushing aside the gravel where possible. - Ice When travelling over glaciers, crevasses pose a grave danger. These giant cracks in the ice are not always visible, as snow can be blown and freeze over the top to make a snowbridge. At times snowbridges can be as thin as a few inches. Climbers and hikers use ropes to protect themselves from such hazards. Basic gear for glacier travel includes crampons and ice axes, and teams of two to five tie into a rope equally spaced. If someone begins to fall the other members of the team perform a self-arrest to stop the fall and then attempt a rescue. Drownings are especially likely when accompanied by head injuries (which may render people unconscious), in very cold water (which can sap energy quickly), or in white water (which may be so frothy that it is impossible to float, or even swim, to the surface). When walking beaches or crossing estuaries, it is essential to be aware of the tides. ### Losing the way {#losing_the_way} Travelers may become lost, either if a group cannot find its way or if an individual becomes separated from the party and cannot find it again. Lost hikers who cannot find their way to their destination on time may run out of food and water, or experience a change in weather. The absence of clearly marked trails increases the risk of losing one\'s way. If a group splits up into several subgroups moving at different speeds, one of the subgroups may take a wrong turn at a trail junction. A common procedure to avoid this is for the leaders to stop at junctions and wait for the others. Keeping the group together is important in the wilderness, especially when visibility is blocked due to weather, rocks, or trees. Carrying a map and compass, and knowing how to use them, will decrease the risk of getting lost. Likewise, a Global Positioning System may prove invaluable, as it can pinpoint a traveler\'s location, revealing his exact position and the direction to roads, services, and inhabited areas. Most GPS devices can also be designed to mark one\'s path on a map, making it easy to backtrack. Family Radio Service, General Mobile Radio Service, and amateur radios operating on the \"2 meters\" band may help maintain communication. Flashing lights, signal mirrors, and whistles are low-tech emergency signals. Without a distant focal point, such as a mountain top, or the sun or moon, people who are lost can sometimes wander in circles.

# Hazards of outdoor recreation ## Specific accidents and ailments {#specific_accidents_and_ailments} ### Metabolic imbalances {#metabolic_imbalances} Metabolic imbalances can affect general functioning and lead to other injuries. - *Dehydration* can rapidly incapacitate an adventurer, especially in warm weather. In conditions of low humidity, sweat evaporates so quickly that a person may not notice the water loss. Carrying and drinking an adequate amount of water helps avoid dehydration. Depending on conditions, two liters of water may be enough for a day hike, but under hot conditions (such as hiking the Grand Canyon in summer), one liter *per hour* may be required. Naturally occurring water is often unfit to drink (see Potability of backcountry water). - Sweating removes not only water, but also salt. This may result in a deficiency of sodium (*hyponatremia*). Eating salty snacks together with drinking water helps to avoid this problem. - If deprived of food for several days, travelers may become *malnourished*. Malnutrition takes several weeks to kill a person, but because it impairs judgment, it can cause problems much sooner. *Low blood sugar* may have a similar effect, especially for those with diabetes. Carrying extra food will minimize risk to the hiker. - *Hypothermia* is a potentially fatal drop in core body temperature. It occurs most easily in cold weather and when wet. Wet or damp clothing (due to rain, sweat, stream crossings, etc.) can bring it on even in relatively warm air, particularly at high elevation, windy conditions, or at low humidity. Even if hypothermia does not kill the victim directly it causes confusion, irrationality and impaired judgment, increasing the risk of other injuries. Sufficient clothing helps prevent hypothermia, but some materials (especially cotton) are discouraged because they absorb and hold water. - *Heat exhaustion*, possibly developing into *heatstroke*, can occur in hot weather, particularly if one is dehydrated or dressed too warmly. The risk of heatstroke can be minimized by avoiding direct sun, and staying wet when possible. This is a life-threatening condition: a victim must be cooled off and transported to a hospital immediately. - *Altitude sickness* results from climbing rapidly to elevations beyond 2,500 metres (approximately 8,000 feet). The process of acclimatization generally takes several days, but may be helped by drugs, such as Diamox. Acute mountain sickness (AMS) may develop into high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), both of which are life-threatening and require immediate transportation to a lower altitude. - *Carbon monoxide poisoning* may occur in tents, igloos, cabins, or trailers due to faulty or misused equipment. It may also occur near the exhausts of motorboats, where the CO concentrations can be high enough to be quickly fatal. ### Common injuries {#common_injuries} - Ankle *sprain* makes up 42% of all hiking injuries. Sprain risk can be reduced by wearing boots with ankle protection. - *Frostbite* can occur when bare skin is exposed to very low temperatures. Frostbite can be prevented by adequate clothing. - *Sunburn*, which may occur in hot or cold conditions, can be debilitating. Sunburn may be prevented by wearing adequate sunscreen. - *Snow blindness*, a burning of the cornea, is caused by the intense ultraviolet solar radiation multiplied by sunlit snow. Snow blindness may be prevented by wearing dark sunglasses or goggles. - *Burns* can occur when dealing with camp stoves. Boiling pots are overturned, clogged fuel lines explode, hot metal is touched with bare skin. Burns are also caused by campfires, cookfires and bonfires. - *Lacerations* may be caused by careless use of knives or axes, or contact with sharp rocks or barbed wire. Tetanus and other infections can result. - *Poisonous plants*, such as poison ivy or stinging nettle (see list), cause rashes. - *Plant thorns* and *animal quills* can cause deep puncture wounds, and can be difficult to remove, often requiring pliers. - Foot *blisters* are caused by friction and irritation of the skin. Wet socks and poorly fitting shoes precipitate the occurrence of blisters. - Other injuries due to falls: cumbersome backpacks increase the risk of missteps and falls, particularly on difficult terrain. ### Animals In many areas, adventurers may encounter large predatory animals such as bears or cougars. These animals rarely seek out humans as food, but they will attack under some conditions. Some hazardous encounters occur when animals raid human property for food. Additionally, if travelers come upon an unsuspecting animal and surprise it, it may attack. Regularly making loud noise, such as by clapping or yelling, reduces the risk of surprising an animal. Some people use bear bells as noisemakers, but these are usually too quiet to be heard from far away. Any mammal infected with rabies may behave unexpectedly, even aggressively, and could infect a human with rabies by biting. Venomous animals, including snakes, scorpions, spiders and bees, may cause harm either directly or through anaphylactic shock. Overall, the greatest danger is often from insects, such as mosquitoes, ticks and fleas, which carry communicable diseases. ### Digestive infections {#digestive_infections} Surface water in the wilderness can contain viruses, bacteria or parasites. The latter two can cause dysentery or wilderness diarrhea in untreated water and can be spread person-to-person by poor hygiene in camp. The most common cause of wilderness diarrhea is the parasite Giardia

# Sugar Magnolia \"**Sugar Magnolia**\" is a song by the Grateful Dead. Written by Robert Hunter and Bob Weir, it is one of the most well-known songs by the band, alongside such hits as \"Truckin\'\", \"Casey Jones\", \"Uncle John\'s Band\", \"Touch of Grey\", and fellow sugar-adjacent tune \"Sugaree\". First released on the 1970 album *American Beauty*, \"Sugar Magnolia\" made its live debut on June 7, 1970 at the Fillmore West in San Francisco. When performed live, the song was often divided into two different entities: \"Sugar Magnolia\" proper and the \"**Sunshine Daydream**\" coda. The break between the two could be a few beats, a set, or even a few concerts. On one memorable occasion, the week of long-time friend of the band Bill Graham\'s death, the coda was held off for an entire week. A single edit of the live performance included on *Europe \'72* (1972) was the group\'s third *Billboard* Top 100 hit, peaking at #91 in 1973. According to *Deadbase X*, \"Sugar Magnolia\" was the Dead\'s second-most played in concert song of their long career, with 596 performances, trailing only \"Me and My Uncle\". It has been said that the song was written about Bob Weir\'s girlfriend, Frankie Weir (née Azzara), who lived with him for many years. In any case, the song\'s line \"she don\'t come and I won\'t follow\" echoes the folk song, \"Sourwood Mountain\", which includes the line \"she won\'t come and I won\'t call \'er.\" Aside from obvious references to several types of plants (magnolia), the line \"jump like a Willys in four wheel drive\" refers to the Willys Jeep, which was actually \"jumped\" off the ground by some drivers. The semi-official 1972 Dead movie *Sunshine Daydream* has its title taken from the song\'s coda section as well as the popular St. Louis area \"Sunshine Daydream\" stores. In Donna Tartt\'s novel, *The Secret History*, the hippies would only allow admission to the bunker to those who could recite the second verse of \"Sugar Magnolia\". An interesting version with a slightly different melody line was played at Irvine Meadows on April 28, 1989. A previously unreleased version of the song was included in Duane Allman\'s box set *Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective*. As Scott Schinder states in his liner notes, \"He (Duane Allman) also sat with the Grateful Dead on multiple occasions, an association that\'s represented here by an exhilarating, previously unreleased performance of the Dead\'s \'Sugar Magnolia\', on which Duane memorably trades licks with Jerry Garcia\". ## Appears on {#appears_on} - *American Beauty* (1970) - *Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies* (Warner Bros. sampler) (1970) - *Europe \'72* (1972) - *Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of Grateful Dead* (1974) - *Dick\'s Picks Volume 2* (1995) - *Hundred Year Hall* (1995) - *Dick\'s Picks Volume 6* (1996) - *Dick\'s Picks Volume 10* (1998) - *Dick\'s Picks Volume 12* (1998) - *Dick\'s Picks Volume 14* (1999) - *Dick\'s Picks Volume 20* (2000) - *The Closing of Winterland* (2003) - *Dick\'s Picks Volume 36* (2005) - *Winterland 1973: The Complete Recordings* (2008) - *Ladies and Gentlemen\..

# Beef Shorthorn The **Beef Shorthorn** breed of cattle was developed from the Shorthorn breed in England and Scotland around 1820. The Shorthorn was originally developed as a dual-purpose breed, suitable for both dairy and beef production. However, different breeders opted to concentrate on one purpose rather than the other, and in 1958, the beef breeders started their own section of the herdbook. Since then, the Beef Shorthorns have been developed as a separate breed to the Dairy Shorthorns. By the early 1970s, the Beef Shorthorn breeders were concerned their cattle were too small and lacked muscle, especially when compared with the continental breeds of cattle, such as the Charolais or Limousin -- that were starting to be introduced to the UK. To help remedy this, in 1976, the Beef Shorthorn Cattle Society sanctioned the introduction of Maine-Anjou blood into the breed. The Maine-Anjou breed, developed in France, was descended from the same Durham cattle as the Shorthorn. The decision to introduce Maine-Anjou blood into the Beef Shorthorn breed was very controversial at the time, but most breeders now acknowledge it was a necessary step which saved the breed from irrelevance. The herd book was closed to Maine-Anjou blood lines in 2001, except by introduction through the Grading Register. The Beef Shorthorn breed is not considered at risk by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, since more than 1,500 registered breeding females are found in the United Kingdom

# Gogo people The **Gogo**, also known as **Gongwe**(*Wagogo*, in Swahili), are a Bantu ethnic group based in the Dodoma Region of central Tanzania. In 1992 the Gogo population was estimated to number 1,300,000.[1](http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=gog). Their origin is in Nubia, in present-day Sudan. ## History Their name was invented sometime in the 19th century by the Nyamwezi caravans passing through the area while it was still frontier territory. Richard Francis Burton claimed a small population for it, saying only that a person could walk for two weeks and find only scattered Tembes. There was and remains the problem of inadequate rain for crops and humans, the rainy season being short and erratic with frequent drought. In the 18th century the Wagogo were mostly pioneer colonists from South Sudan then Unyamwezi and Uhehe, and are often confused with the Sandawe and the Kaguru. Half the ruling group came from Uhehe. They had a long tradition of hunting and gathering, allowing the Nyamwezi to carry the ivory to the coast, but had become agriculturalists with cattle by 1890. They continued, however, to have a low regard for working the land and are said to have treated their agricultural slaves badly. The Wagogo experienced famine in 1881, 1885, and 1888--89 (just before Stokes\' caravan arrived) and then again in 1894--95, and 1913--14. The main reason for the exceptional series of famines in Ugogo was its unreliable rainfall and the ensuing series of droughts. Kimbu and Nyamwezi colonists gradually colonized the dry plains west and east of Ugogo, which travelers on the principal road most feared. Central Tanganyika saw the growth of Nyamwezi towns, and numerous Gogo chiefs had Nyamwezi advisors. More people learned Swahili than learned Islam through the caravan trade of the 19th century. It was commonly spoken by Sagara and Gogo in the 1850s, according to Burton, who also noted that \"almost every inland tribe has some vagrant man who can speak it.\" ### Colonial era {#colonial_era} During the European exploration of Tanzania, Ugogo was used as a route west. During on such expedition, a second column marched up the central caravan route towards the western plateau as Wissmann worked in the northeast. Emin Pasha, an eccentric Austrian doctor, served as its leader. He was given orders to \"break or undermine Arab influence,\" build a German base on Lake Victoria, and be prepared to intervene in Burundi if necessary. Before he arrived, the Germans handed over control of Uganda to the British. Emin disregarded his orders and instead left \"everything in chaos from Mpwapwa to Karagwe.\" He crossed Ugogo after leaving Bagamoyo in April 1890, razing 19 villages and stealing about 2,000 animals after an askari was killed as a result of a chief\'s demand for tolls. After the German invasion of the 1880s, missionary efforts increased. The Holy Ghost Fathers, the eldest of the five already existing societies, expanded their mission from Bagamoyo\'s hinterland to Kilimanjaro (1891), Usambara (1907), and Ugogo (1910). In the 1890s, the White Fathers occupied the Rukwa valley, Usumbwa, and Buhaya. The next decade saw their expansion to Ufipa, Buha, Mbulu, and in the direction of Lake Nyasa from their initial bases in Karema, Tabora, and Bukumbi. The pace of Protestant societies was slower. Between Bonde and Uzigua, the UMCA expanded its operations. The CMS prioritized Uganda, giving up its station atop Mount Kilimanjaro and keeping only a little area in Ukaguru and Ugogo. Eight teachers were dispatched to Uvidunda by the Roman Catholic community in Ilonga in 1910. They dispatched 39 Christians the following year to launch a mission in Kibakwe, and 14 more in 1912 to teach in Ugogo. Ugogo\'s proselytizing revealed the catechist\'s true worth. When the Roman Catholic mission there was established in 1909, catechists were chosen from all of the colony\'s more established mission locations. They opened 91 schools with 4,000 students in under five years. One common memory of Tanzanians from the First World War is the starvation. Food was in low supply in towns early in the battle as imports were stopped, military needs increased, and prices went up. Requisitioning and drought in 1915 caused a limited famine in the Makonde plateau, the north-east, Ufiome, and parts of Ugogo and Ulanga. During 1916, the situation in these locations deteriorated. In the Masasi District near Luatala that year, 800 people died. Labor required to cultivate land reduced as the demand for porters increased. By 1917, both sides were systematically taking animals and destroying any grain they couldn\'t eat. They may have taken nearly a fifth of Tanganyika\'s four million livestock reserve for famine. In 1917, Lettow-Vorbeck left famine behind as he departed the Rufiji Valley, Mahenge, and the south. But this was just the start of the disaster. It arrived in 1918 and was particularly bad in the famine-prone regions of Dodoma, Kondoa, and Singida. The British district officer in Dodoma reported in December 1916 that \"the entire District has been ransacked for cattle.\" The British obtained an additional 5,659 animals in just five months, in addition to 24,000 porters and about 100 tonnes of grain, whereas the Germans had acquired 26,000 animals. Throughout 1917, requisitioning continued, although local officers denied any signs of calamity. It was explained that food was being forcedly collected because Gogo had no use for money, but people were \"merely resigned\" and famine was improbable. When the rains stopped in November 1917, the entire central region went through three years of *mutunya* the \"scramble for food,\" the worst famine in recorded history---as its supplies were depleted. According to one estimate, Dodoma district alone saw 30,000 deaths, or nearly one in every five people. Many people migrated. In the Dodoma market, others offered starving calves for sale for one shilling each. The Central Province, particularly Ugogo and Uzigua, frequently suffered from starvation. In 1919--21, 1925--6, 1928--30, 1932--5, 1937, and 1939, Ugogo and Uzigua both had food shortages. Drought was the main factor in both regions, which was made worse by yearly infestations of locusts in the 1930s. Both Ugogo and Uzigua have a long history of hunger, extremely unpredictable rainfall, the ability to export grain in good years, and an inability or reluctance to grow crops that can withstand drought, such as manioc. While Ugogo was endangered by tsetse and purposefully cut off from territory matters by a conservative provincial commissioner, Uzigua had also lost its livestock reserve to the disease. However, territorial hunger returned to Tanganyika in 1943. It started in Ugogo as normal and was mostly caused by drought; nevertheless, drought generates hunger when reserves are low, recuperative abilities are limited, outside assistance is difficult to obtain, and transportation and communications are broken. In each of these ways, the hunger was made more widespread, severe, and extended by the conflict. The government pushed the growing of drought-prone maize rather than drought-resistant millet and encouraged the export of food and animals for military use. The Gogo endured more hardship in 1946. \"Morale is high and it is felt that now that the war is over, the period of famine is over until the next war,\" their district officer stated the following year.

# Gogo people ## Traditional society {#traditional_society} ### Social structure {#social_structure} Wagogo clans moved around a good deal, dropping ties to older groupings, adopting new links and family, new clan names, things to avoid, affiliations, and new ritual functions. The Gogo, in short, became different from what they were before. While early European writers emphasised the political chiefs of the Wagogo, calling them \'Sultans\' as was customary on the coast, and stressed their collection of the very profitable taxes (*hongo*), on scarce food and water, it was really the ritual leaders who influenced the entire country. They controlled rainmaking and fertility, medicines to protect against natural disasters or hazards, and prevented certain resources from being overly used. They were not to leave their \"country,\" they were to be rich in cattle, decided on circumcision and initiation ceremonies, give supernatural protection for all undertakings and be arbitrators in homicide, witchcraft accusations, and serious assault. The Wagogo placed considerable value on neighbourliness. After having his physical needs met, a strange traveller would be accompanied many miles by the young men of a homestead in order to place him safely on his way. The homestead group was so fundamental to Gogo society that people who had died peculiarly, (struck down by lightning or a contagious disease) were thrown into the bush or the trunk of a baobab tree, for such a person had no homestead and could become an \"evil spirit\" who associated with sorcerers or witches. ### Family Most brothers went to great lengths to assist their sisters, who often lived with their brothers in sickness until they recovered, for brothers have strong moral and legal obligations to fulfil these duties in cooperation with their sisters\' husbands. Even later in life, sisters and brothers continue to visit each other, a wife never being fully incorporated into her husband\'s group. ### Marriage While the majority of Wagogo have only one wife at any given time, most found polygyny to be highly valued and carrying a high priority. It was the prerogative of older, well-established men. A reasonably prosperous man could hope to have two and sometimes three wives, and sometimes together. Most marriages took place within a day\'s walking distance after agreement was reached on the number of livestock to be included in the bridewealth, only then is the transfer made. Even a hundred years later, bridewealth is still normally given entirely in livestock and a high proportion of court cases involve the payment or return of the brideprice. Even after divorce, all children born during the marriage belonged to the ex-husband, \"where the cattle came from.\" \"If you go somewhere and marry the child of others, then all your wife\'s relatives become your relatives, because you have married the child, and so you will love even them.*(\"From Rigby\'s book*Cattle and Kinship\")Lovers of married women could never, however, claim their offspring. If a husband had given the brideprice for his wife who was pregnant before he married her, he must still accept paternity of the child.\'\' ### Defense Defence against the Kisongo, Maasai, and Wahehe was organized and based on age groups of warriors, much as the Maasai. This \"military\" organization was mostly used for local defence, although it could be used for cattle raids against others. When an alarm was sounded all able-bodied men were to take up arms and run towards the call.

# Arctic Cape The **Arctic Cape** (*Мыс Арктический*, *Mys Arkticheskiy*) is a headland in Severnaya Zemlya, Russia. With a distance of 990.8 km to the North Pole, the Arctic Cape is sometimes used as starting point for expeditions to the North Pole. ## Geography Stretching out towards the Arctic Ocean by the Molotov Glacier, it is the northernmost point of Komsomolets Island, which in turn is the northernmost island of the archipelago. Under Joseph Stalin the cape was known as Cape Molotov. The Arctic Cape is not the northernmost point of Russia. That distinction goes to Cape Fligely (Мыс Флигели, Mys Fligeli) on Rudolf Island (Остров Рудолфа, Ostrov Rudolfa), an island in the Franz Josef Land archipelago. The northernmost point of mainland Asia is Cape Chelyuskin. This cape also marks the Kara Sea\'s northeastern limit, which is the eastern end of a line running from Cape Kohlsaat in Franz Josef Land to the Arctic Cape

# Honduran Liga Nacional de Ascenso **Liga de Ascenso** (Promotion League) is the second division of Honduran football; it was founded on 17 December 1979 as *Segunda División* (Second Division) and renamed *Liga de Ascenso* (Promotion League) on 21 July 2002. The league is divided into 4 groups: *Zona Norte y Atlántica* (North and Atlantic Zone), *Zona Norte y Occidente* (North and West Zone), *Zona Centro y Sur* (Central and South Zone), *Zona Sur y Oriente* (South and East Zone). The top 2 teams of each group qualifies for the *liguilla* (play-offs). Each season is divided into two tournaments, *Apertura* (opening) and *Clausura* (closing). The champions of the opening and closing tournament compete for the promotion to Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Honduras in a two-legged match. Two teams are relegated to Liga Mayor de Futbol de Honduras. The last team of each group face off in a playoff (North vs North and South vs South). ## History From 1965 to 1979 the system of promotion to the Liga Nacional was ruled by the Extra-scholastic Sporting Federation of Honduras(*Federación Deportiva Extraescolar de Honduras*). It was played in amateur form and the champion of the Central, Southern, and Oriental zone would play against the champion of the North Western zone. The Winner was promoted to the Liga Nacional. In the first tournament of the Liga Nacional there wasn\'t any promoted or relegated since it was a draft tournament. It was until 1980 when the second division was founded which nowadays it\'s called *Liga Nacional de Ascenso de Honduras* (National Promotion League of Honduras). In that season, the league didn\'t have any relegated team since the players of the Honduras national football team needed to be in training at full-time. From the year on, the rules have been applied and there have been many promoted and relegated teams. From 2004 on the league was split into two seasons, *apertura* (opening) and *clausura* (closing). Promotion is decided by a two-legged match between apertura and clausura champion. In the case of the same team being champion in both tournaments, promotion is automatic. In 2006 Hispano was relegated from first division but they bought Valencia\'s category in the league; this situation has occurred with other teams. In 2002 Victoria were relegated but acquired Honduras Salzburg\'s spot. In 2009 Atletico Gualala earned promotion but decided to merge with that year\'s relegated club, Real Juventud and kept their history. In 2003 Real Maya merged with Patepluma to form Real Patepluma. ## 2024-25 clubs ### Clubs from Zona Litoral Atlántica {#clubs_from_zona_litoral_atlántica} - Arsenal (Coxen Hole, Islas de la Bahia) - Atlético Boca Junior (Tocoa, Colón) - CARVA (Coyoles Central, Olanchito, Yoro) - Discua Nicolás (El Progreso, Yoro) - Tela F.C.

# Josh Kirby... Time Warrior! ***Josh Kirby\... Time Warrior!*** is a direct-to-video film series in six installments which formed one story arc, with the first five films ending with a cliffhanger. The series produced by Charles Band\'s Moonbeam Entertainment in association with The Kushner-Locke Company and released by Paramount between 1995 and 1996, featuring the fictional character Josh Kirby played by Corbin Allred. The series was described as in the \"tradition of Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and Captain Marvel\". ## Premise In the 25th century, humans discover an alien device dubbed the \"Nullifier\". This device is said to be capable of controlling, or worse, destroying the universe. Irwin 1138 (Barrie Ingham), the second-greatest mind of his time splits the Nullifier into six pieces, which are subsequently dispersed through time. Dr. Zoetrope (Derek Webster), Irwin\'s rival and the greatest mind of his time, seeks to retrieve and reassemble the device with the help of his time traveling power armor, with Irwin following in his \"time pod\" to beat his rival to the pieces. The chase leads them both to 1995, where they encounter 14-year-old Josh Kirby. After a brief conflict, Zoetrope flees into the time stream with a piece of the Nullifier that landed in Kirby\'s garden, and Irwin gives chase, only to bring Josh along for the ride by accident. Irwin explains the Nullifier is an indestructible weapon he scattered across time to prevent Zoetrope from using it to wipe out the universe. Unable to return to his home era, Josh accompanies Irwin, his alien companion Prism and later, half-human warrior Azabeth Siege (Jennifer Burns), in the race to collect the Nullifier pieces. ## Chapters The story unfolds over the course of six films: ## VHS and DVD releases {#vhs_and_dvd_releases} All six chapters have been released on VHS by Paramount Pictures and Moonbeam Entertainment in the United States and DVD by Tango Entertainment, under license from Kushner-Locke. ## Cast - Corbin Allred as Josh Kirby, a 14-year-old boy from 1995 who is dragged into the chase for the Nullifier. He later discovers he\'s a Time Warrior, capable of superpowered feats, only once every 12 hours. - Barrie Ingham as Irwin 1138, a scientist from the 25th century, and the \"second-greatest\" mind of his time period, Dr. Zoetrope being his better. Using his \"Time Pod\", he engages in a race to find the individual components of the Nullifier before Zoetrope. Along with the Time Pod, he also relies on a cane, which doubles as an energy weapon. - Jennifer Burns as Azabeth Siege, a half-human warrior who is somehow displaced in time and subsequently joins. - Derek Webster as Dr. Zoetrope, the greatest mind of his time, exceeding Irwin 1138. While he also seeks the Nullifier, his vehicle of choice is a set of powered armour. - Steve Blum (credited as David Lucas) as the vocal effects of Prism, an extra-terrestrial creature capable of sensing the pieces of the Nullifier, shown by his glowing, colour-changing hair

# DinoSol **Dinosol Supermercados S.L.**, trading as **DinoSol**, is a Spanish supermarket chain in the Canary Islands who is most known for its HiperDino supermarkets. The current structure of the company dates back to 2012, when a group of Canary shareholders, which mainly consisted of AJA investments and the original founders, bought the company. ## History In 1978, the Domínguez brothers established the brand HiperDino. In 1996, when the brand consisted of three stores, they sold it to Vista Capital, a venture in which Banco Santander participated. Vista Capital renamed the stores to Superdiplo. Subsequently, Dutch multinational Ahold bought the supermarkets and renamed it back to the HiperDino brand. However, Ahold suffered some serious losses and sold the business to English private equity firm Permira who renamed the wider group to Dinosol SL. In 2011, DinoSol\'s debt had mounted to more than 400 million euros, after which the company ended up in the hands of an extensive group of banks. In 2012, a group of Canary shareholders, led by José Abraham Domínguez, Andrés Domínguez and Javier Puga, decided to buy DinoSol. In 2012, DinoSol agreed to sell the SuperSol chain to Agile Finance. After taking control over the group, the Domínguez brothers and Javier Puga resumed the successful strategy from the past: low prices, alongside competitive and promotions focused on local products. Their company policy was focused on reaching an island society that suffered from high unemployment rates. It didn't take long before this new approach bore fruit. Predatory pricing paved the way for growth and the group regained its lost market share. One year after the acquisition, DinoSol became a well-performing company that generated more than 1,000 jobs. In 2015, consultancy firm Stiga awarded Hiperdino a national prize concerning customer satisfaction, based on valuations by supermarket customers. ## Stores and formats {#stores_and_formats} As of 2024, Grupo DinoSol boasts more than 200 locations over the Canary Islands, and employs over 6,000 people

# Hill-Rom **Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc.** is an American medical technology provider that is a subsidiary of Baxter International. ## History Hillrom is a wholly owned subsidiary of Baxter and was formally part of Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc., which was formerly a part of Hillenbrand Industries until that company split its medical equipment division from their casket business in 2008. Their headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. John Groetelaars was the President and CEO. In 2019, Hill-Rom rebranded itself as Hillrom. The rebranding emphasized the company's transition from its history of developing hospital beds and medical devices to a focus on digital health products and software that support connected care across the healthcare continuum for the digital health market. Its primary products are Nurse Call Hospital Alert and Communications System, Hillrom HPL (high precision locating) Staff and Asset Tracking and they also offer Healthcare Furniture such as the smart connected Centrella Hospital beds. In September 2015, Hillrom bought Welch Allyn Inc. Hillrom continued to use the Welch Allyn brand name for some of its patient monitoring and diagnostic equipment. In 2018, Hillrom updated its hospital bed model to include EarlySense's vital-sign bed sensors to monitor patients' heart and respiratory rates. The built-in sensors sit under the mattress and are not attached to the patient. They check vital signs 100 times a minute and alert nurses to any possible issues. In April 2019, Hillrom acquired Voalte. The acquisition gave Hillrom control of a connected care system that supplies voice, alarm, and text communications for 220,000 clinicians at different healthcare organizations. Voalte became a cornerstone of Hillrom's Care Communications product line. Before its rebranding, Hillrom also developed and produced medical equipment under the names of its previous acquisitions: Welch Allyn, Mortara Instrument, Trumpf Medical, Allen Medical, and Liko. Another acquisition, Aspen Surgical, was sold in 2019. In January 2020, Hillrom acquired Excel Medical Electronics, a clinical communications software company. Excel Medical expanded Hillrom's digital health offerings with predictive analytics and software that assimilates real-time patient data. Hillrom's Centrella bed won the 2017 Stanley Caplan User Centered Design Award. Hillrom developed the bed after studying patients in 29 hospital units. In June 2020, Hillrom released a remote vital signs monitoring product to help with COVID treatment. The Welch Allyn Spot Vital Signs 4400 device connects to the Hillrom Connex app to relay patient data securely to physicians through a phone. Hillrom development teams practice contextual inquiry and an immersion process. This development process requires them to spend time in environments and situations in order to understand the reality of clinical practice, workflow, and patient experience. In 2020, Hillrom adapted its respiratory health device MetaNeb to help treat COVID-19 patients. MetaNeb is typically used on patients with pneumonia. It attaches to a ventilator and helps to clear the lungs from mucus secretions. In April 2020, Atlanta's Emory University reported the successful use of MetaNeb with coronavirus patients on ventilators. In 2022 Hillrom announced its new High Precision Locating (HPL) system for staff and asset tracking which integrates with its Nurse Call system. It uses Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology to provide real-time location in the system and on a visualized map. In September 2021, Baxter International announced it would acquire Hillrom for \$12.4 billion. The acquisition was completed in December 2021. ## Services Care Communications: Hillrom provides a secure communications platform that connects healthcare professionals with patients. The platform uses voice calls, alarm notifications, and text alerts. Patient Support Systems: Hillrom offers different products to support patient care, such as smart beds and patient lifts. Front Line Care: This includes a diverse range of products used by frontline care providers to diagnose and manage patient health issues, such as ventilators and vital signs monitoring systems. Surgical Solutions: The company provides a line of surgical products, including surgical and examination lights, gyn/uro/pal products, surgical tables, and orthopedic and spine products

# Battle Creek Flight The **Battle Creek Flight** are a team in the Independent Basketball Association (IBA) located in Battle Creek, Michigan. They previously played in the Premier Basketball League (PBL) and in the International Basketball League. The team was known as the **Battle Creek Knights** prior to the 2013--14 season. ## 2005 season The Knights lived up to their nickname of \"The IBL\'s Power Team\", by beating opponents by an average of 128--114. The Knights were led in scoring by Mike Williams, at 22.4 ppg. The Knights were undefeated in the regular season, and won the championship game, beating the Dayton Jets 124--121, for a final record of 21--0. In addition to being the IBL\'s power team on the court, the Knights also led the league in attendance. Playing at Kellogg Arena, crowds of 2,500+ were not uncommon, and the team drew 1,854 to the championship and All-Star game, which they hosted. Three Knights made the all-star team; Bobby Madison, Jamal Gooding, and Mike Williams. ## 2006 season {#season_1} The 2006 Knights were a victim of the IBL\'s expansion. The team finished 11--10, respectable, yet a far cry from being undefeated. The team lost their only playoff game 144--139 to the Holland Blast, an expansion team. Again, three all-stars were named, Logan Vander Velden, Mike Williams, and Jay Youngblood. Youngblood was also in the top 25 scorers, averaging 22.0 ppg (he also played part of the season with the Cuyahoga Falls Cougars. After the season, coach Williams resigned and was replaced by former Knight Logan Vander Velden. ## 2007 season {#season_2} With Vander Velden at the helm, the Knights began to regain their winning ways, and locked into the 5th seed for the IBL playoffs, where they were eliminated by the defending champion Elkhart Express in the East final. ## 2008 season {#season_3} The Knights started off with a 1--4 record, but rebounded to eventually end the regular season with a record of 9--11. The Knights opened the playoffs with a win against the Elgin Racers 116--100, only to fall to the Elkhart Express in the Eastern Conference finals 130--147. During the off season, the Knights announced a switch to the winter playing Premier Basketball League (PBL). ## 2009 season {#season_4} In their first year in the PBL, the Knights reeled off 12 straight wins before falling on the road to the Wilmington Sea Dawgs. They would lose only one other game and finish with a regular season record of 18--2, taking first place in the PBL\'s Central Division. However, after controversy in the PBL championship series against the Rochester Razorsharks, the Knights left the PBL, first announcing they were taking a year off, but later changing that to playing in the IBL for 2010. ## Current roster {#current_roster} **Head Coach:** Terry Sare +-------+-------+---------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+ | \# | Pos. | Ht. | Player | Acquired | College | +=======+=======+=========+==================+=============+==========================+ | 34 | F | 6\'7\" | Antione Lundy | 2012 | South Alabama | +-------+-------+---------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+ | 23 | G | 6\'4\" | Tihon Johnson | 2012 | Mountain State | +-------+-------+---------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+ | 5 | G | 6\'4\" | Dave Boykin | 2012 | Bridgeport | +-------+-------+---------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+ | -- | PG | 5\'10\" | Ameer Watts | 2012 | Missouri Southern State | +-------+-------+---------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+ | 1 | PG | 5\'10\" | Marcus Lancaster | 2012 | Montevallo | +-------+-------+---------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+ | 7 | F | 6\'5\" | Corey Massey | 2011 | Alma | +-------+-------+---------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+ | 11 | PG | 6\'2\" | Ben Fuller | 2012 | Liberty | +-------+-------+---------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+ | 10 | SF | 6\'5\" | Randon Dyer | 2011 | *Did not attend college* | +-------+-------+---------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+

# Georges Rodenbach **Georges Raymond Constantin Rodenbach** (16 July 1855 -- 25 December 1898) was a Belgian Symbolist poet and novelist. ## Biography Georges Rodenbach was born in Tournai to a French mother and a German father from the Rhineland (Andernach). He was related to the famous German poet Christoph Martin Wieland. He went to school in Ghent at the prestigious Sint-Barbaracollege, where he became friends with the poet Émile Verhaeren. Rodenbach worked as a lawyer and journalist. He was an early contributor to the literary review *La Jeune Belgique*, and spent the last ten years of his life in Paris as the correspondent of the *Journal de Bruxelles*, and was an intimate of Edmond de Goncourt. He published eight collections of verse and four novels, as well as short stories, stage works and criticism. He produced some Parisian and purely imitative work; but a major part of his production is the outcome of a passionate idealisation of the quiet Flemish towns in which he had passed his childhood and early youth. In his best known work, *Bruges-la-Morte* (1892), he explains that his aim is to evoke the town as a living being, associated with the moods of the spirit, counselling, dissuading from and prompting action. *Bruges-la-Morte* was used by the composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold as the basis for his opera *Die tote Stadt*. Albrecht Rodenbach, his cousin, was a poet and novelist as well, and a leader in the revival of Flemish literature of the 19th century. ## Works - *Le Foyer et les Champs* (1877), poetry - *Les Tristesses* (1879), poetry - *La Belgique 1830-1880* (1880), historic poem - *La Mer élégante* (1881), poetry - *L\'Hiver mondain* (1884) - *Vers d\'amour* (1884) - *La Jeunesse blanche* (1886), poetry - *Du Silence* (1888) - *L\'Art en exil* (1889) - *Bruges-la-Morte* (1892) - *Le Voyage dans les yeux* (1893) - *Le Voile*, drama - *L\'Agonie du soleil* (1894) - *Musée de béguines* (1894) - *Le Tombeau de Baudelaire* (1894) - *La Vocation* (1895), translated as *Hans Cadzand\'s Vocation* - *A propos de \"Manette Salomon\"

# Melvin Frank **Melvin Frank** (13 August 1913 -- 13 October 1988) was an American screenwriter, film producer and film director. He is known for his partnership with Norman Panama and their work on films such as *Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House* (1948), *White Christmas* (1954), and *The Court Jester* (1956). He also directed films such as *Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell* (1968) and *A Touch of Class* (1973). ## Life and career {#life_and_career} Born to a Jewish family, Frank met his future collaborator Norman Panama in 1933 when they were both at the University of Chicago. After graduating, they formed a partnership in 1935 which endured for four decades; first writing for Milton Berle before becoming writers for Bob Hope\'s radio show. In 1941, they sold their first script to Paramount Pictures, *My Favorite Blonde* (1942), which starred Hope. They worked for Paramount for five years where, among others, they wrote *Road to Utopia* (1946), starring Hope and Bing Crosby, for which they received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. They moved to Columbia Pictures making *It Had to Be You* (1947) and *The Return of October* (1948) and also wrote *Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House* (1948) for RKO. In 1950, they signed a writing, producing and directing deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and made films together as co-writers, co-directors and co-producers. They started with *The Reformer and the Redhead* (1950) and also made *Knock on Wood* (1954) and *The Court Jester* (1956), both with Danny Kaye, with the former earning them another Academy Award nomination. They also co-wrote *White Christmas* (1954) with Norman Krasna. They wrote a Broadway play together in 1956, later adapted into *Li\'l Abner* (1959), directed by Frank. They received another Academy Award nomination for *The Facts of Life* (1960) and also worked on *The Road to Hong Kong* (1962).

# Stella Kowalski **Stella Kowalski** (née **DuBois**) is one of the main characters in Tennessee Williams\' play *A Streetcar Named Desire*. She is the younger sister of central character Blanche DuBois and wife of Stanley Kowalski. ## In the play {#in_the_play} The play begins when Blanche comes to visit Stella and Stanley in New Orleans after having lost their family home, Belle Reve, and her job as a teacher in Laurel, Mississippi. We gather that Stella was a Southern belle who left her home town to find work after her family fell on hard times. In New Orleans, she met her soon-to-be husband Stanley Kowalski, who just has returned from World War II, complete with decorations. It is apparent that Stella has been in New Orleans for quite some time before Blanche arrives. Stella is portrayed as sensual and deferring to the will of her husband. Stanley is prone to fits of rage in which he throws things and hits Stella, who often finds herself taking refuge with upstairs neighbor Eunice Hubbell (who is often abused by her own husband, Steve, as well), only to return to Stanley when he cries for her to take him back. Williams neither condemns nor condones this sort of love; it is the way Stella yields to her marriage. Blanche, who has arrived for a \"visit,\" is horrified by her sister\'s situation and tries to convince Stella to divorce Stanley. Stella refuses, however, bound to Stanley by sexual attraction and her pregnancy with his child. Stanley, who prides himself on luring Stella away from her privileged background, dislikes the influence Blanche has over his young wife. When Stanley discovers that Blanche has lost the family estate and been forced out of her home town for promiscuity, he gleefully tells Stella, who initially refuses to believe him. Stella is more down-to-earth and a lot less vain than her sister. She is accustomed to the slightly less wealthy conditions in New Orleans and the poor treatment from her husband. The night Stella goes into labor, Stanley drunkenly happens upon Blanche and rapes her. This sends Blanche completely over the edge into a nervous breakdown. From what she says in the final scene, it is clear that Stella has chosen to believe that Blanche is lying about the rape. She acquiesces to his plan to send Blanche off to a mental institution. However, in the film adaptation, it is shown that Stella leaves him and takes their child (although it is ambiguous if she goes back to him). This, however, was required under the censorship code then in force. Later television versions restored the original stage version, which always has her staying with him. ## In other media {#in_other_media} Stella was portrayed by Kim Hunter in the Broadway production as well as the 1951 film adaptation. Hunter won an Academy Award for her performance. In the 1949 London production, Stella was played by Renée Asherson. In the 1984 TV movie she was portrayed by Beverly D\'Angelo, and in the 1995 TV movie, she was portrayed by Diane Lane. The name is used for a recurring character, portrayed by Anne Marie DeLuise, in the 1994--1999 television series *Due South*; the character is the ex-wife of character Detective Stanley Kowalski, named`{{snd}}`{=mediawiki}in universe`{{snd}}`{=mediawiki}in homage to Marlon Brando\'s portrayal of the character in the 1951 film adaptation

The highway lies entirely within Douglas County. ## Route description {#route_description} Oregon Route 38 begins (at its western terminus) at a junction with U.S. Route 101 in Reedsport. It heads due east from there, running alongside the Umpqua River and by the Dean Creek Wildlife Area, which provides overlooks for viewing regional wildlife. The route continues east after that, passing through the communities of Scottsburg and Green Acres. In the city of Elkton, the highway intersects with Oregon Route 138, which continues to follow the Umpqua River, heading south. OR 38 continues east, passing through the Elk Creek Tunnel Forest State Scenic Corridor, as well as the highway tunnel the park is named after. The highway continues east through the mountains of southwestern Oregon, eventually reaching the community of Drain. In Drain, it intersects with Oregon Route 99; OR 38 continues northeast from Drain on an alignment shared with OR 99. Just south of Curtin, OR 38 ends at an interchange with Interstate 5. OR 99 continues north, sharing an alignment with I-5 (diverting from it once again when it the highway reaches the city of Cottage Grove).

# Qiulong **Qiulong** (`{{zh|s=虬龙|t=虯龍|p=qíulóng|w=ch'iu-lung|l=curling dragon}}`{=mediawiki}) or **qiu** was a Chinese dragon that is contradictorily defined as \"horned dragon\" and \"hornless dragon\". ## Name This Chinese dragon name can be pronounced *qiu* or *jiu* and written *虯* or *虬*. ### Characters The variant Chinese characters for the *qiu* or *jiu* dragon are `{{linktext|lang=zh|虯}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{linktext|lang=zh|虬}}`{=mediawiki}, which combine the \"insect radical\" `{{linktext|lang=zh|虫}}`{=mediawiki} with phonetics of `{{zhp|p=jiu|c={{linktext|丩}}|tr=connect}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{zhp|p=yin |c={{linktext|乚}}|tr=hidden}}`{=mediawiki}. This *虫* radical is typically used in Chinese characters for insects, worms, reptiles, and dragons (e.g., `{{zhp|p=[[shen (clam-monster)|shen]]|c=蜃}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{zhp|p=[[Jiaolong|jiao]]|c=蛟}}`{=mediawiki}, and `{{zhp|p=[[hong (rainbow-dragon)|hong]]|c=虹}}`{=mediawiki}). Compare the word *jiu* (`{{linktext|lang=zh|糾}}`{=mediawiki} or `{{linktext|lang=zh|糺}}`{=mediawiki} \"twist; entangle; unite\") that is written with the \"silk radical\" `{{linktext|lang=zh|絲}}`{=mediawiki} and the same alternate phonetics as *qiu* *虯* or *虬*. *Qiu* *虬* or *虯* is also an uncommon Chinese surname. For example, Qiuranke Zhuan *虯髯客傳* \"The Legend of the Curly-whiskered Guest\" is a story by the Tang dynasty writer Du Guangting *杜光庭* (850--933 CE), and Qiu Zhong *虬仲* was the courtesy name of the Qing dynasty painter Li Fangying. In Japanese, the kanji \"Chinese characters\" *虬* or *虯* are sometimes used for the *mizuchi* *蛟* \"river dragon\". ### Etymologies Sinological linguists have proposed several etymologies for the *qiu* or *jiu* *虯* dragon. Bernhard Karlgren reconstructed Old Chinese pronunciations of *qiu* \< \**g\'yŏg* or *jiu* \< \**kyŏg* for `{{zhi|c=虯|tr=horned dragon}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{zhi|c=觓|tr=horn-shaped; long and curved}}`{=mediawiki}. This latter word combines the \"horn radical\" `{{linktext|lang=zh|角}}`{=mediawiki} and *虯*\'s *jiu* *丩* phonetic. Carr follows Karlgren\'s reconstructions and suggests *qiu* \< \**g\'yŏg* or *jiu* \< \**kyŏg* *虯* is \"part of a \'twist; coil; wrap\' word family\" that includes: - *qiu* \< \**g\'yôg* `{{linktext|lang=zh|觩}}`{=mediawiki} \"long and curved; curled up horn\" - *jiu* \< \**klyŏg* `{{linktext|lang=zh|樛}}`{=mediawiki} \"curving branch; twist\" - *miu* \< \**mlyŏg* or *jiu* \< \**klyŏg* `{{linktext|lang=zh|繆}}`{=mediawiki} \"bind; wind around; wrap; twist\" - *liu* \< \**glyôg* or *lu* \< \**glyôk* `{{linktext|lang=zh|勠}}`{=mediawiki} \"join forces; unite\" - *jiao* \< \**klôg* `{{linktext|lang=zh|膠}}`{=mediawiki} \"glue; unite\" - *liao* \< \**glyôg* `{{linktext|lang=zh|摎}}`{=mediawiki} \"tie around; strangle\" This \"twisting; coiling\" etymology can explain both the meanings \"horned dragon; twisted horns\" and \"curling; wriggling\" below. Schuessler reconstructs Old Chinese *qiu* \< \**giu* or *jiu* \< \**kiu* for *觓* or *觩* \"horn-shaped; long and curved\" and `{{zhi|c=虯|tr=horned dragon}}`{=mediawiki}, and cites Coblin\'s comparison of \"horned dragon\" with Written Tibetan *klu* \"Nāga, serpent spirit\". Schuessler compares *jiu* \< \**kiuʔ* *糾* \"to twist, plait\" and concludes the \"most likely etymology is \'twisting, wriggling\'\".

# Qiulong ## Meanings Chinese dictionaries give three *qiu* *虯* or *虬* meanings: \"dragon without horns\", \"dragon with horns\", and \"curling; coiling\". ### Hornless dragon {#hornless_dragon} Several Chinese classic texts and commentaries from the Han dynasty identified `{{zhp|p=qiu|c=虯}}`{=mediawiki} as a \"hornless dragon; dragon without horns\", which is interpreted as \"young dragon; immature dragon\". The 2nd century BCE *Chuci* uses `{{zhp|p=qiu|c=虬}}`{=mediawiki} seven times, which is more frequently than any other classical text. The standard Sibu Beiyao *四部備要* edition gives the character as *虬* instead of *虯*. *Qiu* is a dragon name in four contexts. The first uses `{{zhp|p=yuqiu|c=玉虬|tr=jade hornless-dragon}}`{=mediawiki}; \"I yoked a team of jade dragons to a phoenix-figured car, And waited for the wind to come, to soar up on my journey.\" The second uses `{{zhp|p=qiulong|c=虬龍|tr=hornless dragon}}`{=mediawiki}; \"Where are the hornless dragons which carry bears on their backs for sport?\" In both contexts, commentary of Wang Yi *王逸* (d. 158 CE) says *qiu* means \"hornless dragon\" and *long* means \"horned dragon\". The third uses `{{zhp|p=qingqiu|c=青虬|tr=green dragon}}`{=mediawiki} referring to the legendary Shun as Chong Hua *重華*; \"With a team of azure dragons, white serpents in the traces, I rode with Chong Hua in the Garden of Jasper.\" Wang notes *qiu* and *chi* are types of *long* \"dragons\". The fourth uses `{{zhp|p=qiu|c=虬}}`{=mediawiki} alone; \"With team of dragons I mount the heavens, In ivory chariot borne aloft.\" The 121 CE *Shuowen Jiezi* dictionary gives inconsistent definitions of `{{zhp|p=qiu|c=虯}}`{=mediawiki}. Some early editions define `{{zhi|out=c|c=龍無角者|tr=a dragon without horns}}`{=mediawiki}, while later editions define `{{zhi|out=c|c=龍子有角者|tr=a young dragon with horns}}`{=mediawiki}. Carr notes the discrepancy of three *Shuowen* definitions for \"hornless dragon\": `{{zhp|p=qiu|c=虯}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{zhp|p=jiao|c=蛟}}`{=mediawiki}, and `{{zhp|p=chi|c={{linktext|螭}}}}`{=mediawiki}. The *Shuowen Jiezi* scholar Zhu Junsheng *朱駿聲* (1788--1834 CE) explains that male `{{zhp|p=long|c=龍}}`{=mediawiki} \"dragons\" have horns and female ones do not, and among young dragons, `{{zhp|p=jiao|c=蛟}}`{=mediawiki} has one horn, `{{zhp|p=qiu|c=虯}}`{=mediawiki} has two, and `{{zhp|p=chi|c=螭}}`{=mediawiki} is hornless. A few later sources, such as the c. 1011 CE *Guangyun* rime dictionary, concur with early *Shuowen Jiezi* editions and define `{{zhp|p=qiu|c=虯}}`{=mediawiki} as \"hornless dragon\", but most dictionaries define a contrast set between `{{zhp|p=qiu|c=虯}}`{=mediawiki} \"horned dragon\" and `{{zhp|p=chi|c=螭}}`{=mediawiki} \"hornless dragon\". ### Horned dragon {#horned_dragon} The c. 139 BCE *Huainanzi* \"Peering into the Obscure\" chapter (6) mentions `{{zhp|p=qingqiu|c=青虯|tr=green horned-dragon}}`{=mediawiki} twice. First, \"The Fable of the Dragons and the Mud-Eels\" uses it with `{{zhp|p=chichi|c=赤螭|tr=red hornless-dragon}}`{=mediawiki}; \"When the red hornless dragon and the green horned dragon roamed the land of Chi *冀*, the sky was limpid and the earth undisturbed.\" The commentary of Gao Yu *高淯* (fl. 205 CE) notes *qingqiu* and *chichi* are types of `{{zhp|p=long|c=龍|tr=dragons}}`{=mediawiki}, but without mentioning horns. Second, a description of Fu Xi and Nüwa, who are represented as having dragon tails, uses *qingqiu* with `{{zhp|p=[[yinglong]]|c=應龍|tr=winged dragon}}`{=mediawiki}; \"They rode the thunder chariot, using winged dragons as the inner pair and green dragons as the outer pair.\" The c. 100 BCE *Shiji* \"Records of the Grand Historian\" biography of Sima Xiangru quotes his `{{zhp|p=[[Fu (poetry)|fu]]|c=賦}}`{=mediawiki} poem entitled `{{zhp|p=Zixu|c=子虛|tr=Sir Fantasy}}`{=mediawiki}. Like the *Huaiananzi*, it contrasts `{{zhp|p=qingqiu|c=青虯|tr=green horned-dragon}}`{=mediawiki} with `{{zhp|p=chichi|c=赤螭}|tr=red hornless-dragon}}`{=mediawiki}, which Watson translates \"horned dragon\" and \"hornless dragon\". Ge Hong\'s 4th century CE `{{zhp|p=Baopuzi|c=抱朴子}}`{=mediawiki} has four references. It mentions: `{{zhp|p=jiu|c=虬}}`{=mediawiki} \"As to the flying to the sky of the *k\'iu* of the pools, this is his union with the clouds\", `{{zhp|p=shenjiu|c=神虬|tr=divine horned-dragon}}`{=mediawiki} \"If a pond inhabited by fishes and gavials is drained off, the divine *k\'iu* go away\", and `{{zhp|p=qingjiu|c=青虬|tr=green horned-dragon}}`{=mediawiki} \"The ts\'ui k\'iu (kingfisher-*k\'iu*) has no wings and yet flies upwards to the sky\", \"Place the shape (i.e. an image of this dragon) in a tray, and the kingfisher-*k\'iu* (shall) descend in a dark vapoury haze\". The c. 230 CE *Guangya* dictionary defines `{{zhp|p=qiu|c=虯}}`{=mediawiki} (written with a rare `{{linktext|lang=zh|黽}}`{=mediawiki} \"frog\"-radical graphic variant) as \"horned dragon\" and `{{zhp|p=chi|c=螭}}`{=mediawiki} as \"hornless dragon\". This semantic contrast is repeated in later dictionaries such as the 997 CE *Longkan Shoujian* and the c. 1080 CE *Piya*, which says: \"If a dragon has scales, he is called *kiao-lung* (*蛟龍*); if wings, *ying-lung* (*應龍*); if a horn, *k\'iu-lung* (*虬龍*); and if he has no horn, he is called *ch\'i-lung* (*螭龍*).\" In traditional Chinese art, dragons are commonly represented with two horns. According to the 2nd century CE *Qian fu lun*, the dragon\'s \"horns resemble those of a stag\". The 1578 CE *Bencao Gangmu* materia medica prescribes `{{zhp|p=longjue|c=龍角|tr=dragon horn}}`{=mediawiki}, \"For convulsions, fevers, diarrhea with fever and hardened belly. Taken continuously it lightens the body, enlightens the soul and prolongs life.\" ### Curling *Qiu* can mean \"curling; twisting; coiling; wriggling; writhing\" in Chinese compounds. For instance: - - - - Besides the four \"hornless dragon\" examples above, three *Chuci* contexts use *qiu* in words describing dragons \"coiling; wriggling; writhing\". Two use `{{zhp|p=youqiu|c=蚴虬}}`{=mediawiki} to describe the `{{zhp|p=canglong|c=蒼龍}}`{=mediawiki} Azure Dragon constellation: \"I rode in the ivory chariot of the Great Unity: The coiling Green Dragon ran in the left-hand traces; The White Tiger made the right hand of my team\"; \"To hang at my girdle the coiling Green Dragon, To wear at my belt the sinuous rainbow serpent.\" One uses `{{zhp|p=liuqiu|c=蟉虬}}`{=mediawiki} with `{{zhp|p=chi|c=螭|tr=hornless dragon}}`{=mediawiki}: \"They lined water monsters up to join them in the dance: How their bodies coiled and writhed in undulating motion!\" ## Mythic parallels {#mythic_parallels} The ancient Chinese `{{zhp|p=jiu|c=虯|tr=horned dragon}}`{=mediawiki} is analogous with the Mountain Horned Dragon lizard and several legendary creatures in Comparative mythology. Assuming trans-cultural diffusion, MacKenzie suggests that the Chinese \"horned-dragon, or horned-serpent\" derives from the Egyptian Osiris \"water-serpent\". The Chinese Hui people have a myth about a silver-horned dragon that controls rainfall. In Babylonian mythology, the deity Marduk supposedly rode a horned dragon when he defeated Tiamat, and it became his emblem. In Persian mythology, the hero Garshasp killed an *Aži Sruvara* \"horned dragon\". In Greek mythology, the two-headed Amphisbaena dragon was represented with horns

# Murroe **Murroe** `{{IPAc-en|m|ə|ˈ|r|uː}}`{=mediawiki} (`{{Irish place name|Maigh Rua|red plain}}`{=mediawiki}), officially spelt **Moroe**, is a village in County Limerick, Ireland. ## Environs Murroe is in the north-eastern part of County Limerick, surrounded by the Slieve Felim Mountains. It is around 15 km east of Limerick city and close to the County Tipperary border. Nearby towns include Cappamore and Newport. The village is on the R506 road. ## History The first Roman Catholic church was erected in Murroe village around 1731. This was replaced by a second church on the main street in 1807. The parish priest in 1808 was Daniel O\'Brien. This second church was described as by Samuel Lewis in 1837 "a large and handsome building". The third and final church was erected in 1905. There were two fairs held in the village (in April and October) from at least 1825. The village expanded in the late 1820s with the arrival of the Anglican Rev. Thomas P. Le Fanu (father of Sheridan Le Fanu) to the neighbouring parish of Abington and Sir Matthew Barrington (1788--1861), 2nd Barrington baronets of Limerick to Glenstal Castle. In 1828, Le Fanu and Matthew Barrington established a dispensary on the main street. In 1926, Glenstal Castle became Glenstal Abbey monastery and boarding school. Murroe once had eight primary schools in the area. Each of the schools, called Murroe, Clonkeen, Eyon, and Kiskiquirk, were split into a boys\' and girls\' school. John Canon Hayes, founder of Muintir na Tíre, was born in Murroe in 1882. He was a priest of the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly, ordained at the Irish College, Paris in 1913 and died at Bansha, County Tipperary, where he was the parish priest, in 1957. ### Landmarks The village contains the Murroe Memorial Cross, a War of Independence memorial in the form of a decorated modern Celtic high cross. It was erected in May 1923 to commemorate the men of the east Limerick and Mid Limerick brigades of the Irish Republican Army who lost their lives in the Irish War of Independence. It is believed to be one of the first such large-scale memorials erected in the State after the war. Clonkeen Church was founded as a monastery c. AD 600, is located approximately 4.4 km west of the village Murroe is also situated near an older monastic settlement of Abbey Owney and is home to a number of historical houses and buildings, such as Brittas Castle and Thomond Scout centre. ## Amenities The Slieve Felim Way, a 43 km long-distance trail through the Slieve Felim and Silvermine Mountains, has a trail-head in the village. It is designated as a National Waymarked Trail by the National Trails Office of the Irish Sports Council and is managed by Shannon Development and Coillte. The gardens and lands of Glenstal monastery are accessible to the public. The Clare Glens wooded area along the banks of the Clare River is located on the edge of the townland towards Newport. Sporting and cultural organisations in Murroe include Murroe Boher Amateur Dramatic Society, the Marion Active Retirement Club, Mulcair Men\'s Shed, Glenstal walkers, Murroe AFC (situated in Tubber), Murroe/Boher GAA, and Murroe-Boher Scouts. ## Gallery <File:Church> of the Holy Rosary, Murroe.jpg\|Church of the Holy Rosary <File:Muintir> na Tire Murroe.JPG\|Muintir na Tíre <File:Ryan> coat of arms at Valley Inn pub, Murroe, Co.

# Túró Rudi **Túró Rudi** is the name of a curd snack which has been popular in Hungary since 1968. The bar is composed of a thin chocolate-flavored outer coating and an inner filling of túró (curd). The \"Rudi\" in the product name comes from the Hungarian \"rúd\", which translates to *rod* or *bar* (and is also a nickname for the name \"Rudolf\"). Túró Rudi can be made in several different flavours and sizes. The basic (plain, \"natúr\") bar is cheaper and more popular and comes in two sizes: the classic 30 g bar and the large (\"óriás\", *giant*) 51 g bar. There are differently-flavoured varieties of the bar, like apricot, strawberry and raspberry as jams in the túró, but coconut and vanilla are flavorings. Nut and caramel flavours are also available. The plain bar can be found with both a dark chocolate and a milk chocolate outer coating. The \"pöttyös\" (spotty or spotted with polka dots) theme is part of the marketing scheme of the bar, and the distinctive red polka-dots are readily associated with Túró Rudi by regular consumers. Friesland Hungária, Inc. (which claims to be the manufacturer of the \"original\" Túró Rudi) released its product in Slovakia, Romania, Spain and Italy under the name DOTS in 2003. The version sold in Western Europe is said to be sweeter and comes with a milk-chocolate coating to suit the taste of locals. Its first public appearance was in a Hungarian family film, *Kismaszat és a Gézengúzok* (roughly translated to *Little Smear and the Rascals*) in the 1980s. ## Origin The earliest form of Túró Rudi appeared in Russia under the name Cырок (*Syrok* meaning syr-cheese curd snack), a rectangular bar of curd, butter and fat mixed together, covered with dark chocolate coating. Its coating is thinner and the filling is sweeter. It is widely acknowledged that Túró Rudi was based on it, as design and production began after a study trip to the Soviet Union (presumably by Antal Deák). Sándor Klein, a teacher at the Budapest University of Technology, gave the product its name, which raised a bit of controversy as people thought the name was vulgar and had pornographic associations due to the fact that Rudi translates to bar or rod in Hungarian. Regardless, the name stayed, and throughout the 1970s the candy proved both popular and successful. Production moved from Budapest to Mátészalka and eventually grew to several additional factories throughout the 1980s. ## Different versions {#different_versions} The original Túró Rudi has gone through many changes during the years, and many different manufacturer has its own Túró Rudi product. Opinions on which of them is the best usually vary a lot. Although the brand name is legally owned by Pöttyös, a few manufacturers claim that their product is much closer to the \"original\" Túró Rudi, mainly because it contains real túró (curd) and other unspecified \"dairy products\" or pickled vegetable fats. ## Health controversy {#health_controversy} From the beginning of its production, Túró Rudi was marketed as a \"healthy dessert\", an opinion strongly supported by nutritional experts of the time. Later examinations however showed some less positive results. While the filling of several (but not all) Túró Rudi has genuine, good quality curd; the coating is not chocolate as many believe. It is a mixture of cocoa powder, hydrogenated vegetable fat, sugar and butter, containing several grams (0.2--0.3 oz) of trans fat which is believed to be one of the main causes of obesity and cardiovascular diseases . ## International versions {#international_versions} ### Austria The Austrian company Landfrisch has also started selling its version of the bar, admittedly copied from the original Túró Rudi, under the name *Landfrisch Rudi*. The \'Landfrisch Rudi\' is also coated with chocolate, like its Hungarian predecessor, and in addition to the \'plain\' version, it\'s also sold in vanilla and coconut flavors. ### China In China, a copy of the product has been sold since October 2008 under the name *Túró Kiittyy* ([Image](http://m.blog.hu/ho/homar/image/200810/turokiittyy.jpg)). ### Poland In Poland, Danone is distributing the product originally known as *Danone Túró Rudi* under the trademark *Danio Batonik*

It travels from Downtown Atlanta to the South Carolina state line in Augusta. This highway, along with U.S. Route 78 (US 78), connect three of the biggest metro areas of the state together: Atlanta, Athens, and Augusta. It travels concurrently with US 78 in three sections: from Atlanta to Druid Hills; from near Stone Mountain to near Athens; and from Athens to its eastern terminus, for a total of 149.2 mi, or approximately 86.6 percent of its route. ## Route description {#route_description} At its western end, SR 10 is the eastward extension of Andrew Young International Boulevard NE and Ellis Street NE and has an interchange with I-75/I-85 (Downtown Connector) on the eastern edge of Downtown Atlanta. It curves to the northeast and has an incomplete interchange with SR 42 Connector, which acts like an eastern spur of the Freedom Parkway. After that, SR 10 begins to curve to the north and passes to the west of the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum and the Carter Center; it curves to the north-northwest and has an intersection with US 29/US 78/US 278/SR 8 (Ponce de Leon Avenue NE). The five highways travel concurrently to the east and meet US 23/SR 42. Here, US 23 joins the concurrency. The six highways travel together until they reach the southern edge of Deepdene Park, where US 278/SR 10 depart the concurrency to the southeast. US 278/SR 10 intersects SR 155 in Decatur. SR 155 joins the concurrency for about three blocks. At Mountain Drive, SR 10 departs from US 278 to the northeast. This intersection also marks the western end of SR 12. The short Mountain Drive segment of SR 10 passes north of the Kensington MARTA station. At the eastern end of Mountain Drive is an intersection with the eastern end of SR 154 (Memorial Drive). At this intersection, SR 10 turns onto Memorial Drive and has an interchange with I-285. SR 10 skirts along the northwestern edge of Stone Mountain and has an interchange with East Ponce de Leon Avenue, just before meeting US 78/SR 410 (Stone Mountain Freeway). At this interchange, SR 410 ends and US 78/SR 10 travel concurrently. A short distance later, they have an interchange with the southern end of SR 236. The westbound and eastbound lanes diverge from each other. The eastbound lanes curve to the southeast and have an interchange with the main entrance of Stone Mountain Park. In Mountain Park, they have an interchange with West Park Place Boulevard and Rockbridge Road; the latter is only listed on westbound signage. After this interchange, Stone Mountain Freeway ends and the numbered highways continue to the east-northeast. They intersect the northern end of SR 264 at the Cpl. Jonathan Ryan Ayers Memorial Interchange. The concurrency enters Snellville, where they intersect SR 124 (Scenic Highway) at the James D. Mason Memorial Interchange. Before exiting the city, they intersect SR 84. In downtown Loganville, the concurrent highways intersect SR 20. They then intersect SR 81, which joins the concurrency. At Lee Byrd Road, SR 81 splits off to the south-southeast. US 78/SR 10 bypass the main part of Monroe on a freeway bypass. Their first exit is with SR 10 Business. Interchanges with SR 138 and SR 11 follow. Another interchange with the eastern end of SR 10 Business marks the end of the freeway bypass. US 78/SR 10 intersect SR 83 before leaving Monroe. US 78/SR 10 continue to the northeast and intersect SR 53. They intersect Mars Hill Road, the former SR 209, just before an interchange with US 29/SR 8/SR 316, as well as the western end of US 78 Business. Here, SR 10 begins a concurrency with US 78 Business before entering Athens; while US 29/US 78/SR 8/SR 316 travel to the east-southeast. US 78 Business/SR 10 travel to the southeast of Bogart and turn east along Atlanta Highway. They meet an interchange with SR 10 Loop (Athens Perimeter Highway). and pass Evergreen Memorial Park; then, they curve to the northeast. After passing north of Timothy Road Elementary School, they have an incomplete interchange with the northern terminus of Epps Bridge Parkway. After that, they cross over the Middle Oconee River. Here, Atlanta Highway ends and US 78 Business/SR 10 take on the West Broad Street name. They pass north of St. Mary\'s Hospital, Clarke Middle School, Classic City High School, and Clarke Central High School. At Milledge Avenue, they intersect SR 15 Alternate. Just over five blocks later, they skirt along the northern edge of the University of Georgia and curve to the southeast, crossing over the North Oconee River. Just over 3000 ft later, the concurrent highways meet US 29/US 78/US 129/US 441/SR 8/SR 10 Loop/SR 15, as well as the unsigned SR 422 (a total of eight highways). At this interchange, US 78 Business ends, and US 78/SR 10 travel to the southeast. They curve to the east-southeast and pass to the south of the Athens Ben Epps Airport. At the intersection of Cherokee Road, they pass southwest of Satterfield Park. They skirt along the northeastern edge of the Southeast Clarke Park before crossing over Shoal Creek. Just prior to crossing over Big Creek, the concurrency begins to curve to the south-southeast. They curve to the east-southeast and then to the southeast before leaving the city limits of Athens and entering Oglethorpe County. US 78/SR 10 continue to the southeast, crossing over Moss Creek. After a brief east-northeast section, they travel just south of the city limits of Arnoldsville, in an east-southeast direction. Just before entering Crawford, they cross over Barrow Creek. In town, they curve to the east-northeast, travel to the north of Crawford Cemetery, and curve to the northeast. On the northeastern edge of the city limits, the concurrency begins a gradual curve to the southeast, traveling north of Brooks Lake and the Brooks Lake Dam and southwest of a branch of the Oglethrope County Library. They also pass Oglethorpe County High School. Immediately after entering Lexington, US 78/SR 10 intersect SR 22 (Comer Road), which joins the currency. The three highways travel to the south-southeast to an intersection with SR 77 (Union Point Road), which also joins the concurrency. The four-highway concurrency curves to the southeast and passes the city\'s magistrate court. Approximately 1000 ft before leaving the city limits, SR 77 departs the concurrency to the north-northeast on Elberton Road. The three highways begin a curve to the east-southeast, and SR 22 departs the concurrency to the south-southeast on Crawfordville Road. US 78/SR 10 cross over Long Creek, before curving to the south-southeast and then to the east-southeast. They cross over Buffalo Creek, curve back to the southeast, and make an easterly jaunt. Southeast of the University of Georgia Farm Lake, the highways cross over Dry Fork Creek into Wilkes County.

# Georgia State Route 10 ## Route description {#route_description} Just after US 78/SR 10 begin a gradual curve to the southeast, they cross over Beaverdam Creek. They travel south of Rock Cemetery. Just over 1000 ft after intersecting the southern terminus of Centerville Road and the northern terminus of Richardson Road, they begin to travel through Rayle. In the center of town, they curve to the east. Just to the east of town, the highways curve to the east-northeast and curve back to the east-southeast and travel to the south of Washington--Wilkes Orchard Lake and the Washington--Wilkes Orchard Dam. They again curve to the east-northeast and bend to the southeast, passing the Washington--Wilkes County Airport. A little over 1 mi before entering the city limits of Washington, they intersect the western terminus of US 78 Business/SR 10 Business. In the city, just west of the intersection with the northern terminus of Campbell Street, the mainline routes begin to curve to the east-southeast. They intersect SR 44 (North Mercer Street), which joins the concurrency. The three highways travel with the honorary designation of the **Benjamin Wynn Fortson Jr Memorial Highway**, named for Benjamin W. Fortson, Jr., a former Secretary of State of Georgia. After crossing Threemile Creek and intersecting South Elijah Clark Drive, they curve to the east-northeast. At the intersection with Carey Street, they begin to curve back to the east-southeast. They intersect SR 17 Business (known locally as Poplar Drive to the south and Tignall Road to the north). Here, SR 44 departs the concurrency to the north. After this intersection, US 78/SR 10 begin to curve to the south-southeast. They curve to the east and intersect SR 17, where the concurrency turns right, and all three highways travel to the south-southeast. The concurrent routes skirt along the eastern city limits of Washington and travel to the west of Booth Lake and the Booth Lake Dam, before very briefly re-entering Washington proper. Just before the intersection with Ann Denard Drive, they begin to skirt the city limits again. On the southeastern edge of the city, they intersect the eastern terminus of US 78 Business/SR 10 Business and the southern terminus of SR 17 Business (all three carry the Robert Toombs Avenue name), as well as the western terminus of US 378 (Lincolnton Road). Both directions also carry SR 47. US 78/SR 10/SR 17 travel to the south-southeast, known as the **Sam McGill Memorial Parkway**. Almost immediately, they begin to curve to the east-southeast. They intersect the southern terminus of the unsigned SR 47 Connector (Thomson Road) and the eastern terminus of Denard Road. They curve to the south-southeast and travel through rural areas of the county and skirt along the northeastern edge of the Washington--Wilkes Country Club. On the southeastern corner of the golf course, the three highways intersect the northern terminus of SR 80 (Wrightsboro Road). They curve to the east-southeast and back to the southeast. They cross over the Little River into McDuffie County. US 78/SR 10/SR 17 continue to the southeast and cross over Hart Creek and Big Creek. They curve to the south-southeast and intersect the southern terminus of SR 43 (Lincolnton Road). Approximately 500 ft later, they pass Pine Grove Cemetery. Just after they intersect Stagecoach Road, they skirt along the eastern edge of Belle Meade Country Club and then the Thomson--McDuffie County Airport. Just before they enter Thomson, they intersect the northern terminus of SR 17 Bypass (Thomson Bypass). At this intersection, US 78/SR 10 turn left and follow the bypass around the eastern side of the city, while SR 17 continues toward the main part of the city. The three highways curve to the south-southeast and cross over, but do not have an interchange with, I-20 (Carl Sanders Highway). The trio travels through the northeastern part of Thomson and intersect SR 150 (Cobbham Road). They leave the unmarked city limits and curve to the east, before coming back to the south-southeast and intersect SR 223 (White Oak Road). The concurrency curves to the south-southwest and crosses over a CSX rail line before intersecting US 278/SR 12 (Augusta Road). At this intersection, SR 12 meets its eastern terminus, and US 78/US 278/SR 10 travel to the southeast as **Augusta Highway**. SR 17 Bypass travels to the south-southwest, as well. The three highways stairstep their way to the southeast, crossing over Sweetwater Creek and traveling near Boneville. Southwest of Boneville, they cross over Boneville Stream. South of Boneville, they travel southwest of Boneville Pond. Just before the intersection with Wire Road and Ellington Airline Road, they curve to the east-northeast. Just to the west of Old Augusta Road, US 78/US 278/SR 10 curve to the east-southeast. They curve to the southeast and enter Dearing. In town, they curve to the east and intersect School Drive, which leads to Augusta Technical College\'s Adult Education Center and Dearing Elementary School. The concurrency curves to the northeast and then back to the east-southeast, before they cross over Boggy Gut Creek and enter Columbia County. Approximately 600 ft after entering the county, US 78/US 278/SR 10 enter the western city limits of Harlem. Just to the southeast of West Boundary Street, they travel about two and a half blocks south of Harlem Middle School. In the main part of town, they intersect US 221/SR 47 (Louisville Street). At the southeastern edge of the city limits, the roadway becomes known as **Gordon Highway**, which is a major urban corridor farther to the east. The highways travel through Campania and Berzelia. A few thousand feet later, they curve to the northeast, entering Richmond County (and the city limits of Augusta), and begin paralleling the northern edge of Fort Eisenhower. US 78/US 278/SR 10 serve as the access point for Gordon Park Speedway and Augusta State Medical Prison. A short distance later is Fort Eisenhower\'s Gate 3, a commercial vehicle gate for the Army base and Gate 2, a variable-hour gate. At the intersection for Gate 2, the highway also intersects the eastern terminus of SR 223 (East Robinson Avenue). Approximately 3.4 mi later is an intersection with the southern terminus of SR 383 (Jimmie Dyess Parkway) and the northern terminus of an access road to Fort Eisenhower\'s Gate 1, the 24-hour main gate for the base. About halfway between here and the interchange with I-520 (Bobby Jones Expressway), the three highways leave the edge of Fort Eisenhower and begin to transition into an urban corridor. After the interstate, the roadway enters the main part of Augusta, traveling south of Aquinas High School, and curves to the south-southeast, past the location of the now-closed Regency Mall. Immediately after a slight curve to the east is an intersection with US 1/SR 4 (Deans Bridge Road). US 1 joins the concurrency, while SR 4 continues to the northeast toward downtown. The four-highway concurrency curves slightly to the east-southeast to an interchange with US 25/SR 121 (Peach Orchard Road), which both join the concurrency. The six highways travel to the east-northeast and intersect the northern terminus of Doug Barnard Parkway (former SR 56 Spur) and the southern terminus of Molly Pond Road. The highways curve to the north-northeast and intersect Laney Walker Boulevard, thus effectively entering downtown. They travel just to the northwest of Magnolia Cemetery, Cedar Grove Cemetery, and May Park and southeast of James Brown Arena. A short distance later, they travel to the east of Old Medical College and the Old Government House, then they have an interchange with US 25 Business/SR 28 (Broad Street). Here, US 25 Bus. meets its southern terminus. Just after this interchange, the highways cross over the Savannah River into South Carolina. At the state line, SR 10 end, while US 1/US 25/US 78/US 278, concurrent with SC 121 curve to the northeast toward North Augusta. ### National Highway System {#national_highway_system}

# Georgia State Route 10 ## History ### 1920s The roadway that would eventually be signed as SR 10 was established at least as far back as 1920 as part of SR 8 from downtown Atlanta to Decatur; SR 45 from Loganville to Monroe;; SR 8 from near Bogart to Athens; SR 10 from Athens to Washington; SR 17 from Washington to Thomson; and SR 12 from Thomson to Augusta. Also, SR 24 was established in Augusta, concurrent with SR 12. By the end of 1921, SR 45 was extended from Loganville west-southwest to Decatur and northeast from Monroe to the Bogart area. By the end of 1926, US 29 was designated along the portion of SR 8 between downtown Atlanta and Decatur; this portion was also paved. SR 45 between Decatur and Loganville was redesignated as part of US 78/SR 10, with the portion from Decatur to just north of Stone Mountain being paved. SR 45 between Loganville and Monroe was redesignated as part of SR 13 (and presumably US 78); SR 45 between Monroe and the Bogart area was redesignated as US 78/SR 10. US 29 (and presumably US 78/SR 10) were designated along the portion of SR 8 between the Bogart area and Athens; this portion was paved. US 78 was designated along SR 10 from Athens to Washington, SR 17 from Washington to Thomson, and SR 12 from Thomson to Augusta. A short segment of US 78/SR 10 was paved. A short segment of US 78/SR 10 northwest of Washington and a short segment of US 78/SR 17 southeast of Washington were paved. The entire concurrency of SR 12/SR 24 in Augusta was paved. Also, US 1 was designated along SR 24 and was made concurrent with US 78/SR 12 in Augusta. Prior to the beginning of 1932, the entire segment of SR 13 from Loganville to Monroe was paved. Nearly half of US 78/SR 10 between Athens and Lexington was paved. SR 10 was extended along US 78/SR 17 from Washington to Thomson and US 78/SR 12 from Thomson to Augusta. The entirety of US 78/SR 10/SR 12 (and US 1/SR 24) from Thomson to Augusta was paved.

# Georgia State Route 10 ## History ### 1930s to 1960s {#s_to_1960s} In January 1932, SR 13 was redesignated as part of SR 20. Also, SR 24 was redesignated as SR 4. By May of the next year, all of US 78/SR 10 between Lexington and Washington was paved. In February 1934, all of US 78/SR 78/SR 10 between Athens and Lexington was paved. Near the end of the year, all of SR 20 between Loganville and Monroe was redesignated as part of SR 10 (and presumably US 78). By April 1937, all of US 78/SR 10 from downtown Atlanta to Snellville was paved. In August 1938, all of US 78/SR 10 from downtown Atlanta to the Walton--Oconee county line was paved. By July of the next year, the entire length of SR 10 at the time was paved. At the end of 1941, SR 42A was designated along Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta. By the end of 1946, it was decommissioned. By the middle of 1960, US 278 was designated along US 78/SR 10 from downtown Atlanta to Decatur, and along US 78/SR 10/SR 12 from Harlem (or possibly Thomson) to Augusta. By 1966, I-485 was proposed from I-75/I-85 (Downtown Connector) to Boulevard. In Athens, US 29/US 78/SR 8/SR 10 traveled into the main part of town, with US 29 splitting off onto US 129/US 441 Temporary/SR 15 (Milledge Avenue; now SR 15 Alternate). SR 8 departed the concurrency on Pulaski Street. SR 15 Alternate traveled concurrent with US 78/SR 10 from South Hull Street to Thomas Street. Later that year, the I-485 proposal was extended east and north to end at I-85, along with an early proposed route for SR 410, with SR 400 being proposed to be routed both north and south of this extension. In Athens, US 29/SR 8 were designated along the northern part of the Athens Perimeter Highway, with US 78/SR 8 Bus./SR 10 traveling through the city. In the Monroe area, US 78/SR 10 were rerouted north of the main part of town. The former route became SR 10 Business. The next year, the north--south portion of the proposed I-485 no longer had SR 410 as a hidden concurrent route; SR 400\'s proposed routing was extended along this entire proposal. SR 410 was proposed to travel from the eastern end of the east--west segment of I-485 to where US 29/SR 8 split from US 78/US 278/SR 10 in Druid Hills. Also, it was proposed along its current routing. In 1969, a northern bypass of Washington was built, designated as SR 10 Bypass, while US 78/SR 10 continued to travel through the main part of town. ### 1970s to 1990s {#s_to_1990s} In 1970, US 78/SR 10 were routed along SR 10 Loop in the northern part of Washington, with the former routing becoming US 78 Bus. (and presumably SR 10 Bus.). By 1975, the I-485 proposal was removed from SR 410 and SR 400. In 1976, the proposal for SR 400 south of I-85 and the western segment for SR 410 were dropped, with only a short freeway from I-75/I-85 to Boulevard left on the books. On the 1980-1981 GDOT map, it was revealed that this short freeway was designated as a western segment of SR 410. In 1980, SR 12 was truncated to end in Thomson, no longer concurrent with US 78/US 278/SR 10 from there to Augusta. In 1986, SR 10 Loop was decommissioned. In 1988, US 78 was routed along the Athens Perimeter Highway, but entering from the Atlanta Highway exit; the roadway inside the Perimeter was redesignated as US 78 Business, with SR 10 still designated along this stretch of highway. In 1991, SR 410\'s western segment was redesignated as part of SR 10, with a proposal to extend the freeway northeast to US 23/SR 42. In 1993, SR 10\'s eastward extension in Atlanta was completed to Ponce de Leon Avenue. Between 1994 and 1996, the portion of US 78 between the Bogart area and the northwest of Athens was redesignated as a westward extension of US 78 Business, with SR 10 still along this segment. ### Miscellaneous notes {#miscellaneous_notes} The Freedom Parkway portion of SR 10 uses the right-of-way of a canceled inner-city Interstate highway project, I-485, which would have traveled eastward (and in a later routing, northward) from downtown Atlanta to an interchange with I-85. The original I-485 interchange with I-75/I-85 in downtown Atlanta is now used for access to Freedom Parkway, though the reduced number of lanes (compared to what was originally planned) makes the interchange look somewhat oversized for its current purpose. The eastern portion of I-485 was completed as the Stone Mountain Freeway, which also carries SR 10 (and also US 78/SR 410) out to the Stone Mountain. The land that Freedom Parkway uses around the Carter Center, as well as the land the Carter Center sits on, was originally slated to be used for the I-485 interchange with I-475 (now known as SR 400 further north and I-675 further south), had those roadways been completed through the city of Atlanta proper. Community opposition ended plans for roadway construction in the 1970s when Jimmy Carter was governor of Georgia, but only after hundreds of homes has already been taken by eminent domain and demolished.

# Georgia State Route 10 ## Major intersections {#major_intersections} ## Special routes {#special_routes} ### Monroe bypass route {#monroe_bypass_route} **State Route 10 Bypass** (**SR 10 Byp.**) was a bypass route for SR 10 that partially existed in the city limits of Monroe. Between 1949 and 1961, a bypass of the main part of Monroe, designated SR 10 Byp., was proposed between two interchanges with US 78/SR 10 (one west of the city and the other in the northeastern part of the city. In 1966, US 78\'s path through the city was shifted onto this proposed path, with SR 10 Byp. designated on it. In 1985, the path of SR 10 in the city was redesignated as SR 10 Bus., which cut SR 10 into two parts. In 1988, SR 10 Byp. was redesignated as part of SR 10. ### Monroe business loop {#monroe_business_loop} **State Route 10 Business** (**SR 10 Bus.**) is a 4.0 mi business route of SR 10 that exists almost entirely within the central city limits of Monroe, in Walton County. It is known as **Spring Street** for its entire length. It begins just northwest of the main part of Monroe, at an incomplete interchange with US 78/SR 10. The highway travels southeast and has an intersection with SR 138 (Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard). It curves to the east-northeast and crosses over Mountain Creek. In the main part of town, it intersects SR 11 (Broad Street). The business route passes south of Rest Haven Cemetery and curves to the northeast to meet its eastern terminus, another incomplete interchange with US 78/SR 10. SR 10 Bus. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation\'s economy, defense, and mobility. SR 10 Bus. was designated in 1966 when US 78/SR 10 were rerouted north of the main part of town. The former route became the Business route. ### Athens loop {#athens_loop} **State Route 10 Loop** (**SR 10 Loop**, also known as **Loop 10**, **Paul Broun Parkway**, or the **Athens Perimeter Highway**) is a 19.1 mi state highway in the form of a beltway around Athens in the U.S. state of Georgia. After a partial at-grade intersection within the inner lanes is upgraded to a partial-cloverleaf intersection, the entire route will be built to freeway standards. Much of the road is concurrent with other routes (such as U.S. Route 29 (US 29), US 78, US 129, US 441, SR 8, and SR 15) that travel through the Athens area. It also carries the unsigned **SR 422** designation. Only US 78 Bus./SR 10 and SR 15 Alt. travel through downtown Athens. Inner/outer directions are often used to sign the loop. ### Washington business loop {#washington_business_loop} **State Route 10 Business** (**SR 10 Bus.**) is a 4.6 mi business route of SR 10 that exists almost entirely within the central city limits of Washington, in Wilkes County. It is known as **Lexington Avenue** and **Robert Toombs Avenue**. It is concurrent with US 78 Bus. for its entire length. ### Washington loop {#washington_loop} **State Route 10 Loop** (**SR 10 Loop**) was a loop route of SR 10 that existed almost entirely within the central city limits of Washington, in Wilkes County. It was concurrent with US 78 (and presumably SR 10) for its entire length. In 1970, US 78/SR 10 were rerouted from the central part of town along SR 10 Loop in the northern part of Washington, with the former routing becoming US 78 Bus. (and presumably SR 10 Bus.). Between 1984 and 1986, SR 10 Loop was decommissioned

# Dayton Jets The **Dayton Jets** were a team in the International Basketball League based in Dayton, Ohio. The team made the championship game their first year. In the team\'s first season, the Jets were coached by former Ohio State University standout Mark Baker. Baker returned as coach for the 2006 season. Home games were played at Hara Arena, but at the end of the season, the league forced them to look for a smaller venue. The Jets settled on Colonel White High School. The Jets were undefeated at home. None of the team\'s players made the league\'s top 25 in scoring. The Jets were led by Dubrey Black with 19.2 ppg. Black was an all-star, along with Brooks Hall, Carl Edwards, and Michael Brownlee. The Jets were 15-2, losing only to the Mahoning Valley Wildcats during the regular season. The Battle Creek Knights defeated the Jets 124-121. The Jets did not play at the Hara Arena or Colonel White High School in 2006. The team played their first two home games at Trotwood-Madison High School, and were looking for other area venues for their second season. In 2006, the Dayton Jets became a non-profit organization

# Newton Martin Curtis **Newton Martin Curtis** (May 21, 1835 -- January 8, 1910) was a Union officer during the American Civil War and a member of the United States House of Representatives from New York. ## Early life {#early_life} Curtis was born in De Peyster, New York. Upon graduating from the Gouverneur Wesleyan Seminary, Curtis became a teacher, lawyer, and postmaster of De Peyster. In the year prior to the Civil War, he was working as a farmer. Curtis stood an impressive 6\' 7\" tall and weighed 225 pounds. His enormous size for the time period prompted even Abraham Lincoln to quip, \"Mr. Curtis, how do you know when your feet are cold?\" His stature became an issue of concern to his family when the Civil War began as they felt he would surely be an easy target for enemy bullets. ## Civil War {#civil_war} On May 15, 1861, Curtis volunteered in the Union Army as a captain in Company G of the 16th New York Infantry. He fought in the Peninsula Campaign and was wounded in a minor engagement at West Point, Virginia. On October 23, 1862, he transferred to the 142nd New York Volunteer Infantry, serving as lieutenant colonel until his promotion to colonel on January 21, 1865. As commander of the 142nd New York Infantry, he fought in the Bermuda Hundred Campaign of May 1864. He took command of the 1st Brigade, 2nd Division, X Corps, during the Siege of Petersburg. Curtis received a brevet promotion to brigadier general on October 28, 1864, for his actions at the Battle of New Market Heights. His brigade became part of the expedition against Fort Fisher in December 1864. Curtis\' brigade was among the few troops to go ashore yet the first attack against Fort Fisher was defeated. He took part in the second attack in January 1865, in which his brigade played a key role in the Union victory. During the fighting a suggestion of entrenching reached Curtis. He angrily grabbed a handful of shovels and threw them over the traverse shouting \"Dig Johnnies! I\'m coming for you!\" Curtis made good on his promise and continued the attack. He was wounded at the head of his brigade and received a full promotion to brigadier general of volunteers and was also received the Medal of Honor. He remained in the army until January 1866, receiving a brevet to major general of volunteers on March 13, 1865. ## Political career {#political_career} After the war, Curtis was a collector of customs in the district of Oswegatchie, New York, in 1866 and then a Special Agent for the United States Treasury Department from 1867 until 1880. He was in the Department of Justice from 1880 until 1882. He was a member of the New York State Assembly (St. Lawrence Co., 1st D.) in 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889 and 1890. Curtis was elected as a Republican to the 52nd Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Leslie W. Russell. He was re-elected to the 53rd and 54th Congresses, holding office from November 3, 1891, to March 3, 1897. He was Chairman of the House Committee on the Election of the President, Vice President and Representatives in Congress (54th Congress). ## Later life and legacy {#later_life_and_legacy} He wrote a book titled *From Bull Run to Chancellorsville*, published in 1906. In 1910, he was the assistant inspector general of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. He was a companion of the New York Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. He died in New York City and is buried at Ogdensburg Cemetery in Ogdensburg, New York, where a statue stands in his honor. The General Newton Martin Curtis Camp #142 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War was named for Curtis.
