## Club career {#club_career}
### Arsenal
#### 2013--2017 {#section_2}
Walcott started the 2013--14 campaign in good form, registering assists against Fenerbahçe in the Champions League play-off round as well as against Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, and scoring against Olympique de Marseille in the Champions League group stage. He suffered an abdominal injury in late September that required surgery, and was out of action for two months, returning against his former club Southampton in late November.
He appeared as a substitute in Arsenal\'s next four fixtures, assisting goals against Cardiff City and Everton, and started his first match since returning from injury, against Manchester City on 14 December. He scored twice against City, but could not prevent Arsenal from losing the match 6--3. On 26 December, his two goals against West Ham United included the first headed goal of his club career. Walcott injured a knee late in the FA Cup third-round tie against Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium in January 2014. In response to abuse from the area holding the visiting fans while he was being stretchered off, Walcott made a hand gesture that reflected the 2--0 scoreline, and he and the stretcher-bearers were pelted with coins and other missiles thrown from that area. The FA \"reminded him of his responsibilities\", but took no further action. The injury, a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, meant he was ruled out for at least six months, so would miss the rest of the season and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
On 1 November 2014, Walcott came off the bench in the 81st minute during a 3--0 Premier League home victory against Burnley for his first Gunners appearance in ten months. He made his first start of the season against Hull City in the third round of the FA Cup on 4 January 2015, exactly a year after sustaining his injury at the same stage of the competition. On 25 January, Walcott scored his first goal of 2014--15 campaign in the second minute of Arsenal\'s 3--2 FA Cup fourth-round win at Brighton & Hove Albion. In Arsenal\'s final match of the league season, Walcott scored a 34-minute hat-trick against West Bromwich Albion at the Emirates Stadium. On 30 May, Walcott was selected to start at centre forward for Arsenal in the 2015 FA Cup Final, scoring the opening goal in the team\'s 4--0 victory against Aston Villa.
Ahead of the new season, it was announced that Walcott had extended his contract with Arsenal after prolonged negotiations. Walcott netted twice in pre-season in wins against Everton and Wolfsburg, as Arsenal won the Premier League Asia Trophy and the Emirates Cup. He began the 2015--16 season starting at centre forward and assisting Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain\'s winning goal in the 1--0 defeat of Chelsea in the 2015 FA Community Shield on 2 August 2015.
On 12 September, Walcott scored his first goal of the season in a 2--0 home victory against Stoke City in the 2015--16 Premier League. He netted three more times in September, including the opener in a 5--2 league win at Leicester City and in back-to-back UEFA Champions League defeats to Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos; in the latter of these he picked up an assist for an Alexis Sánchez header. His performances saw him voted Arsenal Supporters\' Player of the Month for September. He registered another two assists in a 3--0 home league win over Manchester United on 4 October. On 21 December, Walcott opened the scoring in a 2--1 league defeat of Manchester City at the Emirates. On 8 March, Walcott scored a brace in a 4--0 away victory over Hull City in an FA Cup replay
Walcott started Arsenal\'s opening match of the 2016--17 season against Liverpool, in which he missed a penalty after being brought down by Alberto Moreno, however, he made-up for his earlier miss by scoring Arsenal\'s opener, however Arsenal still lost the match 3--4. Walcott scored his second goal of the season and his 100th career goal after linking up with Alex Iwobi to chip the ball over Hull City goalkeeper Eldin Jakupović to score Arsenal\'s second goal in a 4--1 win. He then netted his first Champions League goals of the season with a brace in a 2--0 win over Basel on 30 September.
On 17 December 2016, Walcott scored the opening goal of a 2--1 loss at Manchester City before being substituted with a calf injury. He returned on 28 January 2017, scoring a hat-trick against former club Southampton in the fourth round of the FA Cup at St. Mary\'s Stadium. He scored his 100th goal for Arsenal on 20 February in the next round of the FA Cup in a 2--0 victory over Sutton United. On 5 April, Walcott captained Arsenal to a 3--0 win in their league match at The Emirates against London rivals West Ham United; he scored the second goal, which was his 19th and last of the season and took his total to 104. He was an unused substitute as Arsenal beat Chelsea 2--1 in the 2017 FA Cup Final.

### Arsenal
#### 2017--18 season {#season_1}
With the scores tied at 1--1 after normal time, Walcott converted his kick as Arsenal beat Chelsea 4--1 on penalties to win the 2017 Community Shield, but throughout his last season at Arsenal, he was mainly used in the Europa League and in the EFL Cup, and he only made 6 substitute appearances in the Premier League. By October, he was increasingly on the fringes at Arsenal, and was criticised following a poor performance when made captain in a 2--1 League Cup victory at home to Championship side Norwich City. with Arsenal\'s second highest goalscorer Ian Wright suggesting that for Walcott\'s own good, he needed to leave the club, a view with which Wenger disagreed. Walcott did score four goals during his last season at the club, against Doncaster Rovers in the League Cup, and three in the Europa League group stage, all coming against BATE Borisov, with two away, and one at home.
### Everton
On 17 January 2018, Walcott signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Everton in what the BBC reported as \"a deal worth more than £20m\". He made his debut for the club three days later, providing the assist for Oumar Niasse\'s equaliser in a 1--1 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League. He then recorded a brace in his next match, a 2--1 win over Leicester.
#### 2020--21: Loan to Southampton {#loan_to_southampton}
On 5 October 2020, Walcott rejoined Southampton on loan. On 17 October, he played for Southampton again for the first time since 2006 and provided an assist to Jannik Vestergaard\'s 92nd minute equaliser in a 3--3 draw against Chelsea in the Premier League. Walcott scored his first goal since rejoining the club in a 1--1 draw against Wolves on 23 November. He would score again in a 1--1 draw against his former side Arsenal in the league on 16 December.

### Return to Southampton {#return_to_southampton}
On 18 May 2021, Walcott signed a permanent two-year contract at Southampton which activated after his current loan deal with Everton expired at the end of June. On 14 August 2021, Walcott made his first appearance since joining Southampton against Everton in a 3--1 defeat. Walcott would not score during the 2021--22 season.
On 23 October 2022, Walcott made his first appearance of the 2022--23 season in a 1--1 draw against Arsenal, replacing Adam Armstrong in the 73rd minute. On 18 March 2023, Walcott scored his first goal since his permanent move back to Southampton in a 3--3 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. On 21 April, he scored the second goal of a 3--3 away draw against former club Arsenal. On 28 May 2023, Walcott confirmed his exit from Southampton following the conclusion of the season, but expressed his desire to continue playing football.
On 18 August 2023, Walcott announced his retirement from football, bringing an end to a career that spanned 563 club appearances and 47 England caps.

## International career {#international_career}
### 2006 World Cup {#world_cup}
On 8 May 2006, 17-year old Walcott was named in Sven-Göran Eriksson\'s squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
On 25 May 2006, Walcott came on as a second-half substitute for the England B team against Belarus. On 30 May 2006, he became England\'s youngest-ever senior player by appearing in a 3--1 friendly win over Hungary at Old Trafford aged 17 years and 75 days. Despite being one of only two fully fit strikers in the England squad (the other being Peter Crouch), he did not play during the tournament. Eriksson defended his decision, claiming that the experience would serve Walcott well for future tournaments.
After the World Cup, Eriksson stepped down as England manager. New appointment Steve McClaren put Walcott into the England Under-21s, claiming he was \"toughening up\" on his squad selections.
### 2007 and 2009 Under-21 European Championships {#and_2009_under_21_european_championships}
On 15 August 2006, Walcott became the youngest player ever to score for the England under-21 team when he scored the opener after three minutes in England\'s 2--2 draw with Moldova at Ipswich Town\'s ground Portman Road. The match against Moldova was his first cap for the England under-21s.
Walcott scored two goals against Germany to seal qualification for England to the Under-21 European Championship, in the playoff second leg in October 2006, with his second drawing comparisons with Thierry Henry. Over the summer of 2009, Walcott participated in England under-21 team\'s 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship campaign despite protestations from his club manager, Arsène Wenger. Wenger complained that Walcott\'s participation in the tournament as well as matches with the senior squad would lead to burn out and injury.
England reached the final of the U21 Euros, where they lost 4--0 to Germany, with Walcott thus earning a silver medal as a runner-up.
### 2010 World Cup qualification and omission from Finals {#world_cup_qualification_and_omission_from_finals}
On 6 September 2008, Walcott made his first competitive start in a World Cup qualifier against Andorra, and in the following match against Croatia on 10 September he opened his senior international goals tally and became the youngest player in history to score a hat-trick for England. In doing so, Walcott also became the first England player to score a hat-trick in a competitive match since Michael Owen in 2001.
Walcott returned to the international fold on 3 March 2010 in a friendly against Egypt. It was his first international start for nine months. He faded after a bright start and was replaced by Shaun Wright-Phillips after 57 minutes as England recovered from a goal down to beat Egypt 3--1 at Wembley Stadium. His performance came under heavy criticism from Chris Waddle who said of Walcott, \"I\'ve never seen him develop. He just doesn\'t understand the game for me -- where to be running, when to run inside a full back, when to just play a one-two. It\'s all off the cuff. I just don\'t think he\'s got a football brain and he\'s going to have problems. Let\'s be honest, good defenders would catch him offside every time.\"
Walcott started England\'s friendly victories against Mexico and Japan in May 2010. However, on 1 June 2010, it was announced that Walcott had been left out of England\'s 23-man World Cup squad by Fabio Capello. On 4 July, a few days after England\'s exit from the World Cup, Lionel Messi said that he was shocked by Walcott\'s exclusion as he believed that Walcott could have made the difference against Germany and Algeria. In January 2011, Capello admitted that he had made a mistake in not selecting Walcott for the 2010 World Cup.
### Euro 2012 {#euro_2012}
In the Euro 2012 qualifying match against Switzerland on 7 September 2010, Walcott was stretchered off after he was clipped in the build-up to Wayne Rooney\'s opener for England after 10 minutes putting him out of action for several weeks.
At UEFA Euro 2012, Walcott appeared for England as a second-half substitute in the group match against Sweden. Shortly after coming on, Walcott scored to bring the match level at 2--2. Less than 15 minutes later, he provided the cross for Danny Welbeck\'s 74th-minute winner in England\'s 3--2 victory. Afterwards, England manager Roy Hodgson praised Walcott\'s \"enormous\" impact on the match, while Lee Dixon on the BBC said Walcott had \"changed the game\". Walcott also played in the final group match against Ukraine which England won 1--0.
### 2014 World Cup Qualifying {#world_cup_qualifying}
Walcott started in England\'s 5--0 win against San Marino, but was injured in an early clash with the goalkeeper Aldo Simoncini. After treatment on the touchline, he was substituted for Aaron Lennon, and then taken to hospital as a precaution, where he underwent \"scans and tests\" according to England manager Roy Hodgson, Walcott was later ruled out of England\'s next match against Poland, he did not start a match in the qualifiers until almost a year later on 6 September, when he played the full 90 minutes in the 4--0 win against Moldova, he also played 87 minutes in the following match against Ukraine, which ended in a 0--0 draw, but he was injured before England\'s match against Montenegro and he was still out against Poland, which England won 2--0 to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, in Brazil.

### Euro 2016 omission and World Cup 2018 qualifying {#euro_2016_omission_and_world_cup_2018_qualifying}
Having missed out on the 2014 World Cup through injury, Walcott was not selected by Roy Hodgson for the 26-man provisional Euro 2016 squad announced in May 2016. Hodgson commented, \"Theo unfortunately has not got such a regular match over the last few months and has had a few problems with injury. It\'s a tough decision but it\'s one you have to take.\"
Walcott was informed by England manager Gareth Southgate on 16 March 2017, his 28th birthday, that he was being dropped from the squad to play a friendly against Germany and a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Lithuania, despite scoring 17 goals in 29 appearances in all club competitions during the 2016--17 season. Southgate said that Walcott had not transferred his early season form into the England matches against Malta and Slovenia in October 2016 and Spain in November 2016. The appearance against Spain would prove to be Walcott\'s final appearance for England.

## Style of play {#style_of_play}
Walcott was well known for his rapid pace, with then Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola declaring that \"you would need a pistol to stop him.\" He has been likened by Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger to the club\'s all-time leading scorer, Thierry Henry. FIFA World Player of the Year winner Lionel Messi has described Walcott as \"one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against.\" In addition to his speed, Walcott also possessed good balance, movement and technique.
## Outside football {#outside_football}
### Personal life {#personal_life}
His family made a cameo appearance in the 2007 film *Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*, directed by David Yates, the uncle of Walcott. Walcott himself was due to appear as well, but his commitments to Arsenal forced him to drop out. His cousin Jacob Walcott was a trainee at Reading and a member of the England national under-17 football team appearing in the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. His older sister, Hollie, is a bodybuilder who came second in the British Natural Bodybuilding Federation Central Championships in July 2010.
Walcott has been in a long-term relationship with Melanie Slade, after meeting in 2004 at the WestQuay shopping centre in Southampton. The couple married at the Castello di Vincigliata in Tuscany, Italy, in June 2013. Their first son Finley James Walcott was born on 10 April 2014, with their second son, Arlo, being born on 26 November 2016.
Walcott has been involved with the UK charities Build a School and Best Beginnings. He also has a pie named in his honour at the Arsenal pie shop in Holloway, which won a gold award at the British Pie Awards of 2015.
On 6 April 2008, Walcott was a torchbearer for the Olympic Flame for Beijing 2008 as it was paraded around London. He was the penultimate torchbearer just before Dame Kelly Holmes.
### Endorsements
When Walcott was 14 years old, he signed an endorsement deal with American sportswear and equipment supplier, Nike. In November 2012 he appeared in an advert for the new Nike Green Speed II alongside Eden Hazard and Raheem Sterling.
In February 2015, Walcott announced a new sponsorship deal with Adidas. Walcott appeared in an advert for Adidas in August 2016, showing off his skills in dribbling and flicking a ball into the open top of a wheelie bin.
Walcott features in EA Sports\' *FIFA* video game series. One of his goal celebrations -- \'pat-a-cake\' dance with Mesut Özil -- appears in *FIFA 14*.

# Ozyorsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast
**Ozyorsk** or **Ozersk** (*Озёрск*) is a closed city in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia. It had a population of 82,164 as of the 2010 census.
## History
The town was founded on the shores of Lake Irtyash in 1947. Until 1994, it was known as **Chelyabinsk-65**, and even earlier, as **Chelyabinsk-40** (the digits are the last digits of the postal code, and the name is that of the nearest big city, which was a common practice of giving names to closed towns).
Codenamed **City 40**, Ozersk was the birthplace of the Soviet nuclear weapons program after the Second World War. In 1994, it was granted town status and renamed Ozyorsk.
## Administrative and municipal status {#administrative_and_municipal_status}
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it has, together with six rural localities, official status as the **Town of Ozyorsk**---an administrative unit with a status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, the town of Ozyorsk has the official name **Ozyorsky Urban Okrug**.
## Economy
Ozyorsk was and remains a closed town because of its proximity to the *Mayak* plant, one of the sources of Soviet plutonium during the Cold War, and now a Russian facility for processing nuclear waste and recycling nuclear material from decommissioned nuclear weapons.
The plant itself covers an area of approximately 90 km^2^ and employs about 15,000 people.
The *Mayak* is primarily engaged in reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel from the nuclear submarines and icebreakers and from nuclear power plants. Commercially, it produces cobalt-60, iridium-192, and carbon-14.
The town\'s coat of arms depicts a flame-colored salamander.
Southern-Urals Construction Department (*ЗАО \"Южноуральское управление строительства\"*) is another major enterprise. Its activities include construction for atomic industry needs, production of concrete constructions and construction materials.
Main products of Plant of Wiring Products #2 (*ЗАО \"Завод электромонтажных изделий №2\"*) are low-voltage devices for military-industrial establishments.

## Radioactive contamination and the 1957 disaster {#radioactive_contamination_and_the_1957_disaster}
Ozyorsk and Richland in the US were the first two cities in the world to produce plutonium for use in Cold War atomic bombs.
The Chelyabinsk region has been reported as being one of the most polluted places on Earth, having previously been a center of production of weapons-grade plutonium.
Ozyorsk and the surrounding countryside have been heavily contaminated by industrial pollution from the Mayak plutonium plant since the late 1940s. The Mayak plant was one of the largest producers of weapons-grade plutonium for the Soviet Union during much of the Cold War, particularly during the Soviet atomic bomb program. Built and operated with great haste and disregard for safety, largely out of gaps in information, between 1945 and 1957 the plant dumped and released large amounts of solid, liquid and gaseous radioactive material into the area immediately around the plant. Over time, the sum of radionuclide contamination is estimated to be 2-3 times the release from the explosions from the Chernobyl accident.
### Kyshtym disaster {#kyshtym_disaster}
In 1957, the Mayak plant was the site of a major disaster, releasing more radioactive contamination than the meltdown at Chernobyl. An improperly stored underground tank of high-level liquid nuclear waste exploded, contaminating thousands of square kilometres of territory, now known as the Eastern Ural Radioactive Trace (EURT). The matter was quietly and secretly covered up, and few either inside or outside Russia were aware of the full scope of the disaster until 1980.
Before the 1957 accident, much of the waste was dumped into the Techa River, which it severely contaminated as well as residents of dozens of riverside villages such as Muslyumovo, who relied on the river as their sole source of drinking, washing and bathing water. After the 1957 accident, dumping in the Techa River officially ceased, but the waste material was dumped in convenient shallow lakes near the plant instead, of which 7 have been officially identified. Of particular concern is Lake Karachay, the closest lake to the plant (now notorious as the most contaminated place on Earth) where roughly 4.4 exabecquerels of high-level liquid waste (75-90% of the total radioactivity released by Chernobyl) was dumped and concentrated in the shallow 45 ha lake over several decades.
In addition to the radioactive risks, the airborne lead and particulate soot levels in Ozyorsk (along with much of the Ural industrial region) are also very high---roughly equal to the levels encountered along busy roadsides in the era predating unleaded gasoline and catalytic converters---due to the presence of numerous lead smelters.
On Sunday September 29, 1957 at 4:22 pm, in the production association \"Beacon\" in Ozersk one of the containers exploded, in which high-level waste was kept. The explosion completely destroyed a stainless steel container located in a concrete canyon 8.2 meters deep. In total, there were 14 containers (\"cans\") in the canyon. One tenth of the radioactive substances were lifted into the air. After the explosion, a column of smoke and dust rose up to a kilometer high, the dust flickered with an orange-red light and settled on buildings and people. The rest of the waste discarded from the tank remained at the industrial site. Reactor plants got into the contamination zone.
Immediately after the explosion at the facilities of the chemical plant, dosimetrists noted a sharp increase in the background radiation. Many industrial buildings, vehicles, concrete and railways were contaminated. The main spot of radioactive contamination fell on the territory of industrial sites, and 256 cubic meters of radioactive solutions were poured into the tank. The radioactive cloud passed the city of atomic scientists and passed by due to the successful location of the city - when it was laid, the wind rose was taken into account.
As a result of the explosion of the container, a concrete slab weighing 160 tons was torn off. A brick wall was destroyed in a building located 200 meters from the explosion site. They did not immediately notice the polluted streets, canteens, shops, schools, and kindergartens. In the first hours after the explosion, radioactive substances were brought into the city on the wheels of cars and buses, on the clothes and shoes of industrial workers. The most polluted was the central Lenin street, especially when entering the city from the industrial site, and Shkolnaya street, where the management of the plant lived. Subsequently, the flow of radioactive substances was suspended. It was forbidden to enter the city from industrial sites for cars and buses. Site workers at the checkpoint got off the buses and passed the checkpoint. This requirement extended to everyone, regardless of rank and official position. Shoes were washed on flowing trays.
The territory, which was exposed to radioactive contamination as a result of the explosion at the chemical plant, was named \"East Ural Radioactive Trace\" (EURT). Its total length was about 300 km, with a width of 5--10 km. This area was inhabited by about 270 thousand people. Fields, pastures, reservoirs, forests were polluted on the territory, which turned out to be unsuitable for further use.
In a memo addressed to the Central Committee of the CPSU, Industry Minister E.P. Slavsky wrote: \"Investigating the causes of the accident on the spot, the commission believes that the main culprits of this incident are the head of the radiochemical plant and the chief engineer of this plant, who committed a gross violation of the technological regulations for the operation of storage of radioactive solutions\". In the order for the Ministry of Medium Machine Building, signed by E.P. Slavsky, it was noted that the reason for the explosion was insufficient cooling of the container, which led to an increase in the temperature in it and to the creation of conditions for the explosion of salts. This was later confirmed in experiments carried out by the Central Factory Laboratory (CPL). The director of the plant M. A. Demyanovich took all the blame for the accident, for which he was relieved of his duties as director.
The radiation accident in the Urals posed a whole series of completely new tasks for science and practice. It was necessary to develop measures for the radiation protection of the population. An Experimental Station was created in the Urals, which played a leading role in studying the consequences of the accident and developing the necessary recommendations.
### Radioactive contamination of the local population {#radioactive_contamination_of_the_local_population}
While the environmental impact of the disaster was immense, the contamination of the local populace was equally devastating. The average person living in Ozyorsk, 8 km from the Mayak Nuclear Facility, had a long term radioactive burden on their body at 17 Bq. Because of the large amounts of radioactive materials that were discharged into the atmosphere, over 22 small towns throughout the region were evacuated. Some cities took two years for a full evacuation to take place.
Reports indicated that humans living in the affected area during the time that the disaster took place and their offspring have developed problems with reproductive functions, mortality, age structure, and sex deformities. These populations were recorded at experiencing a radioactive exposure of 40-500 mSv.

# Pro-vice-chancellor
A **pro-vice-chancellor** (or **pro vice-chancellor**, **PVC**) or **deputy vice-chancellor** (**DVC**) is a deputy`{{better source needed|reason=This source is internal policy of one university|date=May 2018}}`{=mediawiki} to the vice-chancellor of a university. In the older English universities, and Commonwealth universities following their tradition, PVCs were typically academics who took on additional managerial responsibilities for a limited time, alongside their regular teaching and research. However, in the newer English universities (e.g. those that originated as polytechnics), the post was usually a permanent one, and this is now the increasing trend among older universities also. Individual pro-vice-chancellors may be in charge of areas such as administration, research and development, student affairs, and academic and education affairs. In some universities, there are one or more deputy vice-chancellors subordinate to the vice-chancellor, with pro-vice-chancellor at an executive level ranking below deputy vice-chancellor. PVCs or DVCs are normally empowered to substitute for the vice-chancellor in both ceremonial and executive functions when the vice-chancellor is absent from the university.
In Scotland, the titles of deputy principal and senior deputy principal are used instead of pro vice-chancellor and deputy vice-chancellor. At the University of Stirling there is one senior deputy principal and three deputy principals. The number can vary depending on the needs of the university at any point in time, but remits usually cover, teaching and learning, research, graduate students and international affairs.
In the National University of Ireland, each president of the constituent universities (being University College Dublin, University College Cork, National University of Ireland, Galway and National University of Ireland, Maynooth), holds the title of pro-vice-chancellor of the NUI, though they generally only use this title at conferring ceremonies.
In the Australian Catholic University, there are three pro-vice-chancellors, each one responsible for both an area of academic affairs and a regional area. The University of New England, Australia also has three PVCs (two deans and another academic) and a deputy VC (research). In the Federation University Australia, there are five deputy vice-chancellors and one pro-vice chancellor.
In New Zealand universities, the term *pro-vice-chancellor* is sometimes used to denote senior executive positions equivalent to deans of colleges and schools in North American universities. In this case the term *dean* is normally reserved for academic administrative positions concerned with programmes and students. Most universities, however, use the term pro-vice-chancellor in the above sense. In Pakistan, Mehran University of Engineering and Technology is the only university which has a pro vice chancellor post

# WCNY-TV
**WCNY-TV** (channel 24) is a PBS member television station in Syracuse, New York, United States. Owned by The Public Broadcasting Council of Central New York, Inc., it is sister to classical music radio station WCNY-FM (91.3). The two stations share studios on West Fayette Street in Syracuse\'s Near Westside neighborhood and transmitter facilities in Pompey, New York.
WCNY is also seen on translator **W22DO-D** (channel 22), covering the Mohawk Valley (including Utica and Rome) from a transmitter on Smith Hill Road in Deerfield.
## History
WCNY was established in March 1965 by the Onondaga County School Board Association under a charter by the New York State Education Department. A non-profit organization, initially known as The Educational Television Council of Central New York, Inc., was set up to manage the station. The station was originally assigned the call letters WHTV, but switched to WCNY-TV on September 23, 1965,`{{r|fcc-cards}}`{=mediawiki} after the station now known as WWNY-TV in Watertown gave up the call letters. It went on the air December 20, 1965.`{{r|fcc-cards}}`{=mediawiki}
The new station\'s equipment was donated by General Electric, whose plant in the nearby town of Salina manufactured broadcast equipment. General Electric also provided WCNY with its studios, located on Old Liverpool Road in the eastern end of Salina. (WCNY\'s entire TV and radio operations would be based there until 2013, when it moved to its current location.) WCNY initially broadcast in monochrome, using cameras used to tape The Beatles\' first appearance on *The Ed Sullivan Show*, but switched to color in 1971.
WCNY was initially a member station of National Educational Television (NET). When NET was replaced by the Public Broadcasting Service in 1970, WCNY became a member station of PBS. Over the years, WCNY has been responsible for producing programs and specials of local interest, some of which were distributed nationally by PBS and/or other outlets. Among the programs produced by WCNY and seen nationally include *Old Enough To Care*, a six-part drama that was picked up by PBS and distributed to their member stations in 1982, and *Pappyland*, a children\'s television program co-produced with Craftsmen and Scribes\' Creative Workshop and telecast for three years on TLC\'s *Ready Set Learn!* block, in addition to various PBS member stations.
In 2007, the station discontinued its pledge drive, making it the only PBS member station to do so. According to WCNY\'s president and CEO, the station is \"focused on truly eliminating our dependence on any state and federal funding\".
## Technical information {#technical_information}

WCNY-TV became the first television station in the Syracuse market to produce and broadcast its own programs in high definition in 2006.
WCNY-TV operates four digital programming subchannels, which also simulcast on W22DO-D.
### Analog-to-digital conversion {#analog_to_digital_conversion}
WCNY-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 24, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station\'s digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 25, using virtual channel 24.
Prior to March 2013, WCNY-TV\'s main programming was broadcast in SD-only (480i) on subchannel 24.1, while continuous HD (1080i) programming was offered on subchannel 24.4. Create had also been cable-only until that month\'s channel map reorganization.
A repeater on UHF analog channel 62 had transmitted from Nedrow to reach over-the-air viewers south of Syracuse in higher elevations until the 2009 digital conversion.

# Beadle's About
***Beadle\'s About*** was a British television programme hosted and written by Jeremy Beadle, where members of the public became victims of practical jokes behind hidden cameras. It was produced by LWT for ITV, and ran on Saturday nights from 22 November 1986 to 31 October 1996.
## Format
The format originated as an element of the show *Game for a Laugh*, which Beadle co-presented. Many of the practical jokes involved someone\'s car or van secretly being swapped for an identical one, and then having a disaster befall it, such as exploding, falling into the sea, or being dropped from a great height, as the owner of the vehicle looked on in horror. Another common prank was for unauthorised building works to be carried out close to, or within the victim\'s home or garden.
After a few minutes, Beadle would appear in disguise (typically, as a policeman or some other figure of authority, and often wearing a fake beard on top of his natural beard), and interact with the shell-shocked and/or irate victim. He would subtly drop more and more hints and would remove his disguise and point a stick microphone at the person. As the public were familiar with Beadle from the earlier show *Game for a Laugh*, they would then immediately realise they had been had, often with the words \"I don\'t believe it!\". A follow-up series was entitled \'It\'s Beadle!\' which followed a similar format.
## Memorable pranks {#memorable_pranks}
One of the most notable pranks was where Dorset resident Janet Elford was convinced into believing that aliens had landed in her garden. Members of the public were set up by a resident team of *Beadle\'s About* actors including: Pam Cole, Ricky Diamond, Tony McHale, Nicholas Young and Flavia Brilli.
## Popularity
At its peak, the show attracted approximately 15 million viewers, making it one of ITV\'s most popular Saturday night programmes during that period. After the show was axed by ITV in 1996, *Beadle\'s About* was repeated on Granada Plus in the late 1990s.
The show was then repeated in full on Challenge TV throughout the 2000\'s; although Challenge (and sister channels Ftn and Virgin 1) sometimes aired certain *Beadle\'s About* sketches (under the banner *The Best of Beadle\'s About*) as programming fillers whenever the channel had allocated time to fill after programmes finished early, *Beadle\'s About* then wasn\'t repeated in full on national TV for over a decade afterwards, until That\'s TV announced in December 2021 that the programme would feature in its Christmas schedule alongside other ITV programmes like *The Benny Hill Show* and *Kenny Everett\'s New Year Specials*.
## Profanity bubble {#profanity_bubble}
The \"Bleep!\" or \"Oops!\" bubble used to block out offensive language was a well known feature from the show. The bubbles were simply clouds with either \"Bleep!\" or \"Oops!\" in them, the text being set in Balloon typeface. These were also used to cover up offensive hand gestures as well.
The record of the most times it was used on one stunt was 105 in 1990. Beadle even gave the person a bag of bleeps for setting the record.
Jeremy once revealed in an interview that during editing, they deliberately inserted \"bleeps\" where there were no profanities as this made it funnier.

# List of Ace double titles
American company Ace Books began publishing genre fiction starting in 1952. Initially these were mostly in tête-bêche format with the ends of the two parts meeting in the middle and with a divider between them which functioned as the rear cover of both (the two parts were oriented upside-down with respect to each other in order to effect this), but the company also published some single volumes during the early years. The proportion of singles increased until they stopped producing doubles about 1978. The tête-bêche format was discarded in 1973, but future double novels were continued for a while with both parts oriented the same way, so that the first page of one part followed soon after the last page of the other part.
Between 1952 and 1968, the books had a letter-series identifier; after that date they were given five-digit numeric serial numbers. The list given here includes every Ace Double Book published between 1952 and 1978, for all genres. It gives a date of publication; in all cases this refers to the date of publication by Ace, and not the date of original publication of the novels. For more information about the history of these titles, see the entry for Ace Books, which includes a discussion of the serial numbering conventions used and an explanation of the letter-code system.
## Genres and collectability {#genres_and_collectability}
Ace published science fiction, mysteries, and Westerns, as well as books not in any of these genres. Several bibliographic references have been compiled for the science fiction books (see `{{section link|#References|}}`{=mediawiki}).
Because the tête-bêche format is part of the attraction for some collectors, titles published between 1974 and 1978, which contained two titles by one or two authors but which are not tête-bêche, are not regarded by some collectors as true Ace Doubles. All the books are included in the list given below, with the difference in format noted.
The list given here includes an indication of the genre of the works, in italics after the serial number. Abbreviations used are \"SF\" for science fiction titles; \"MY\" for mystery titles, and \"WE\" for Westerns. In addition, \"NA\" is used to mean \"not applicable\", when one or both of the books is not in one of these three genres; and \"UN\", when the genre of the books is not known. The list also gives a date of publication; in all cases this refers to the date of publication by Ace, and not necessarily the date of original publication of the novels.
The list is thought to be complete, but there may be minor omissions among the later lists.
For more information about the history of these titles, see Ace Books, which includes a discussion of the serial numbering conventions used and an explanation of the letter-code system.
## Jokes
The double format inspired contests for ironic or satirical combinations of titles that might appear, as in \"No Blade of Grass\"/\"The Sheep Look Up\".

# Politiets Aktionsstyrke
The **Politiets Aktionsstyrke** (**AKS**, English: *Special Intervention Unit*) is the police tactical unit of the Danish National Police.
## History
The unit\'s operational functions are closely guarded secrets, so not much is known. What has been published is that the unit was created just after the Munich Summer Olympic incident in 1972.
In 1998, the unit was re-organized to include a permanent force of roughly 100 police officers; it previously \"borrowed\" officers from regular units on an *as needed* basis.
AKS led the operation of clearing and evicting the anarchist and leftist groups from Ungdomshuset on March 1, 2007.
An officer from AKS was seriously wounded on January 7, 2013, during an arrest operation against three suspected narcotics smugglers. The suspected perpetrator was killed by a headshot and another man was wounded. A third man was arrested. It was the first time that an AKS-officer had been wounded during an operation.
## Organization
### Training
Their training includes: tactical shooting, hand-to-hand combat, surveillance, and explosives.
Policemen who want to join the unit are required to take and pass selection tests. It is known that AKS cross-trains with the army and navy elite-units Jægerkorpset and Frømandskorpset.
### Duties
It is meant to handle extraordinarily difficult or life-threatening criminal situations, such as terrorism, hostage situations, and kidnapping. It also deals with emergency rescue situations that would be too dangerous for others to handle.
The AKS holds responsibility for all anti-terror and counter-terrorism missions in Denmark. Its activities are under the jurisdiction of the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) while the Danish Ministry of Justice supervises the AKS

# Virginia Robinson Gardens
The **Virginia Robinson Gardens** are the period landscape, historic mansion, and botanical gardens located at the **Virginia Robinson Estate** (6 acres) in Beverly Hills, California, United States.
## History
The Virginia Robinson Gardens is the earliest estate in Beverly Hills, California. It was the private residence of Virginia Dryden Robinson and Harry Winchester Robinson, heir to J. W. Robinson\'s Dept. Store.
The main house was designed in 1911 by architect Nathaniel Dryden, who was Virginia\'s father, in a Beaux Arts style. The residence is furnished with antiques and artifacts collected from around the world.
The Renaissance Revival pool pavilion was built in 1924. Decorative panels of sgraffito ornamentation adorn the Roman arches at the entry to the pavilion\'s solarium. The pavilion overlooks a long pool with mosaic tile wainscoting.
## Gardens
The Virginia Robinson Gardens range in style and plant type from Italian Renaissance Mediterranean to Tropical Oceanea. The estate has five distinctive gardens:
- The Italian Renaissance Terrace Garden, with views of mature specimen trees and the Citrus Terraces. Planted under large magnolia trees are a variety of camellias, gardenias, and azaleas.
- The Formal Mall Garden, with perennial flower borders and rare specimen cycad \'palms\'.
- The Rose Garden, with heirloom roses.
- The Kitchen Garden or Potager, with vegetables and an herb garden.
- The Tropical Palm Garden, including a grove of king palms (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana), reportedly the largest in the continental United States. The tropical area also contains gingers, bananas, and plumerias.
## Access
The Robinson Gardens are managed by the County of Los Angeles and open to the public for docent tours by advance reservation only. The Friends of Virginia Robinson Gardens support this landmark. It was listed in 1978 on the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, it holds the status of a California Point of Historical Interest, and is included on the City of Beverly Hills Local Register of Historic Properties

# L&YR Class 25
The **Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Class 25** is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive. They were introduced to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1876 by new locomotive superintendent William Barton Wright and 280 were built in total. Of these, 230 were later converted to saddle tanks by John Aspinall, to become L&YR Class 23. They were nicknamed \"Ironclads\" after the armoured warships being developed at the time.
## Ownership changes {#ownership_changes}
The locomotives passed briefly to the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) in 1922 and then to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923. The LMS gave them the power classification 2F. In 1948, the surviving locomotives (23) passed to British Railways (BR), which numbered them 52016-52064 (with gaps).
## Withdrawal
Withdrawals began in 1930 but 23 locomotives survived into British Railways ownership in 1948.
## Preservation
The last engine, BR 52044 (L&YR 957, LMS 12044) was bought for preservation in 1959 and has been based at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway since 1965. It starred in the film *The Railway Children* as the *Green Dragon*. It was out of service from 1975 but was returned to steam in 2001 in its BR guise as 52044 before being painted in its L&YR guise as 957 a few years later. Its boiler certificate expired in early 2013. After a couple of years on display, overhaul started in July 2016.
A sister locomotive, L&YR Class 23 no. 752, rebuilt from Class 25 as a saddle tank by Aspinall after 1891, was also bought for preservation and was based at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway alongside 957, until being moved to the East Lancashire Railway in Bury for complete overhaul

# Serve the Servants
**\"Serve the Servants\"** is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. It is the first track on their third and final studio album *In Utero*, released in September 1993.
The song has frequently been cited for its autobiographical lyrics, which address the band\'s fame following the release of their 1991 album, *Nevermind*, the divorce of Cobain\'s parents, and perceived media attacks against Cobain\'s wife, American rock musician, Courtney Love.
## Early history {#early_history}
\"Serve the Servants\" was written in 1992. The earliest known version is a home demo, featuring Cobain on vocals and acoustic guitar, recorded on a boombox in 1992. This version was released on the posthumous Nirvana box set, *With the Lights Out*, in November 2004.
## In Utero {#in_utero}
\"Serve the Servants\" was the only *In Utero* song that had never been recorded as a demo by the full band prior to being recorded for the album. As Nirvana\'s bassist Krist Novoselic remembers, it was brought to the studio \"pretty much done\" by Cobain. The album was recorded in February 1993 by Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.
In a September 2013 interview with the *NPR* program *All Songs Considered*, Novoselic recalled that \"Serve the Servants\" was the first song the band recorded during the sessions with Albini. \"And so we play that song \'Serve the Servants,\'\" he explained, \"\...And so we finish the song, and Kurt and Dave and I look at each other and we\'re like, \'Yeah, that felt pretty good. How was it, Steve?\' He\'s like, \'Sounds good.\' And we\'re like, \'All right! We\'re going to do another song,\' like in one take. We won Steve over after that.\"
## Post-In Utero {#post_in_utero}
The first live performance of \"Serve the Servants\" was on April 9, 1993, at the Bosnian Rape Victim Benefit show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, California.
It was performed, along with \"Dumb,\" at Nirvana\'s final television appearance, on February 23, 1994 in Rome, Italy for the *RAI* television show, *Tunnel*.
The final live performance of \"Serve the Servants\" was at Nirvana\'s last concert, on March 1, 1994, at Terminal 1 of the closed Munich-Riem Airport in Munich, Germany.

# Serve the Servants
## Composition and lyrics {#composition_and_lyrics}
### Music
Journalist Gillian G. Gaar described \"Serve the Servants\" as \"a straight-ahead rock song, arguably the most straightforward song on *In Utero*,\" and noted that its steady volume was a departure from the frequently-used \"soft/loud Nirvana dynamic.\" John Mulvey of the *NME* called it \"an addictive pop song\" that was \"set to a jerky, cranking riff that gleefully degenerates into a squiggly anti-solo.\" Jim DeRogatis of *Chicago Sun-Times* described it as being \"propelled by fat, hummable guitar riffs and memorable singalong choruses.\" Author Chuck Crisafulli called it one of the most \"rock n\' roll\" tracks the band ever recorded that provided an energizing and satisfying opener to *In Utero*, which immediately dispelled rumors that the album would be excessively abrasive and unlistenable.
### Lyrics
The song\'s autobiographical lyrics address both Cobain\'s struggles with fame and his family life. The opening lyrics, \"Teenage angst has paid off well, now I\'m bored and old,\" were a commentary on Cobain\'s public image, and his life as a celebrity since the unexpected success of Nirvana\'s second album, *Nevermind*, released in September 1991. The lyric, \"If she floats then she is not a witch like we had thought\", was an attack on the media for its perceived misrepresentation of Cobain\'s wife Courtney Love, vocalist and guitarist of the American rock band Hole, comparing her treatment to a witchhunt and the practice of subjecting women accused of witchcraft to a public ordeal by water.
In his 1993 biography *Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana*, Michael Azerrad stated that Cobain sent a personal and direct message to his father with the lines, \"I tried hard to have a father, but instead I had a dad/ I just want you to know that I don\'t hate you anymore/There is nothing I could say that I haven\'t thought before\". However, Cobain stated that the lines were included at the last minute and that \"they just happen to fit really well\". Author Charles R. Cross, in his 2001 Cobain biography, *Heavier Than Heaven*, also described these lines as bitter lyrics aimed at Cobain\'s father. The last line of the chorus. \"that legendary divorce is such a bore\", refers to Cobain being tired of his childhood being plumbed for deep meaning.

# Serve the Servants
## Reception
The song\'s opening lyrics attracted the attention of numerous critics in contemporary reviews of the album. John Mulvey of the *NME* wrote that \"any album that kicks off with a song as beautifully bludgeoned as 'Serve The Servants', and a line as tellingly funny as \'Teenage angst has paid off well/ Now I'm bored and old\', must have something going for it. Self-referential and self-pitying, for sure, but here at least Nirvana metaphorically wipe their arses on old *Nevermind* sleeves with a little wit to leaven the whingeing bitterness.\" David Fricke of *Rolling Stone* wrote that the opening lines of the album\'s \"petulant, bludgeoning opener\" were \"sung in an irritated, marble-mouthed snarl that immediately derails any lingering expectations for a son of "Smells Like Teen Spirit.\" Predicting the first lines as \"soon-to-be-famous,\" *Los Angeles Times* writer Chris Willman wrote, \"If you'd guess from that opening that Cobain is going to spend a lot of the record commenting sarcastically on the success and attention he's enjoyed (not) in the last couple of years, you'd be positively prescient.\" Tom Howard, from the same publication, wrote that \"'Serve The Servants' features the best opening line to any album ever \... Kurt was self-aware to a fault, and this is a prime example. It's an added bonus that the track is an admirably obnoxious hard rock banger.\"
In his September 1993 review of the album for *Time*, Christopher John Farley wrote that compared to \"Heart-Shaped Box\" and \"All Apologies,\" the two songs later remixed by Scott Litt at the band\'s request, \"many of the Albini pieces sound ravaged, almost ruined; but as with buried treasures, there are rewards for persistence and exploration. If you listen repeatedly to such sonically explosive songs as Serve the Servants and Pennyroyal Tea, the structure of each gradually becomes clear, and melodies surface.\" David Cavanagh compared the song to \"Rid Of Me,\" the title track of the second studio album by English rock musician PJ Harvey, released in May 1993 and also produced by Albini.\" Stuart Berman for *Pitchfork* remarked, \"The scowling verses of "Serve the Servants" are countered by the chorus' soothing incantation of the song's title, as if Cobain had to anesthetize himself in order to answer his audience's populist demands.\"
### Legacy
Reviewing the 20th anniversary reissue of *In Utero* in September 2013, Christopher John Farley of *Time* wrote that \"compared to songs on *Nevermind*, \'Serve the Servants\' and \'tourette's\' sound unmixed and unfinished, but not as a detriment. These songs and others on *In Utero* sound completely fresh and unaffected, and end up creating a much rougher and stripped-down result.
In August 2014, *Paste* ranked \"Serve the Servants\" at number 37 on their \"50 Best Grunge Songs\" list, with Michael Danaher writing, "The verse's warbling surfer-esque riff and the chorus's raw, coarse hook was a masterwork that furthered Cobain's knack for bruised and brooding songwriting.\" In April 2015, *Rolling Stone* ranked "Serve the Servants" at number 14 on their list of the top 102 Nirvana songs, with writer Douglas Wolk remarking, "The dissonant blast that opened *In Utero*{{\'}}s first seconds answered anyone who wondered if Nirvana was going to soften up after conquering the world.\" *The A.V. Club* ranked it at number 17 on their list of the band\'s \"30 greatest songs\" in 2023.
In 2017, Love cited \"Serve the Servants\" as one of her favorite Nirvana songs, also mentioning the *In Utero* songs \"Heart-Shaped Box\" and \"Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle\", and the *Nevermind* songs \"In Bloom\" and \"On a Plain.\"
According to the April 2000 edition of *Spin*, at one point during Cobain\'s memorial vigil in April 1994, the song was being \"blasted\" from the loudspeakers while \"an estimated 5,000 kids poured over the fountain, plugging up the spigots, lifting their middle fingers to the skies and howling with gleeful rage.\"
The song\'s title is referenced by Nirvana\'s manager Danny Goldberg in the title of his book *Serving The Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain*, released in 2019.

# Harwich International railway station
**Harwich International railway station** is a railway station on the Mayflower Line, a branch of the Great Eastern Main Line, the station serves Harwich International Port in Essex, England. It is 68 mi from London Liverpool Street, between `{{rws|Wrabness}}`{=mediawiki} to the west and `{{rws|Dovercourt}}`{=mediawiki} to the east. Its three-letter station code, HPQ, derives from its original name, Harwich Parkeston Quay.
The station is operated by Greater Anglia, which also runs all trains serving the station. It is the eastern terminus in England of the Dutchflyer service between London and Amsterdam.
## Description
The station has two entrances. One is located on the ground floor of the passenger terminal building which houses a ticket machine, and provides step free direct access to Platform 1 and indirect access to platforms 2 and 3 via a footbridge. The second entrance is from a car-park via the footbridge, with step free access being provided by a lift which is in service until the evening ferry sailing to Hook of Holland has departed. The platforms can also be accessed via a level crossing at the eastern end of the platforms.
Generally Platform 1 is used as the terminus of Dutchflyer trains towards London. Platform 2 is bi-directional and is served by local Mayflower Line services between `{{rws|Manningtree}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{rws|Harwich Town}}`{=mediawiki}, while Platform 3 is used by services for `{{rws|Lowestoft}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{rws|Norwich}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{rws|Cambridge}}`{=mediawiki}. The platforms have an operational length for thirteen-coach trains.
## History
The Manningtree to Harwich branch was opened as a single track line on 15 August 1854 and the original route passed south of the Parkeston Quay site. During the 1860s and 1870s passenger and goods traffic grew at Harwich but so did complaints about noise, smell and cattle lairages in the centre of town. Additionally ship passengers faced a long walk between Harwich station and the ships.
The port and station at Parkeston owe their origins to the Great Eastern Railway (GER) which opened them on a new track alignment built over reclaimed land in September 1882 and named them after its chairman, Charles Henry Parkes. The single-track branch was doubled at the same time and diverted to the north of its original alignment which can still be followed on Ordnance Survey maps of the area.
The original combined station building and hotel is still in existence although the hotel is now converted for office use and is part of the port terminal.
When opened the station consisted of two through-platforms serving the then double-track line to `{{rws|Harwich Town}}`{=mediawiki}. This was supplemented by a bay platform at the eastern end of the main platform (the present-day Platform 1) which handled Harwich to Parkeston local services, which in the days of steam generally consisted of a J15 and later N2 or N7 tank engines and up to four carriages. This service was timed to suit shift times both on the quay and in adjoining offices, the majority of workers being railway employees. The bay also had a loop allowing the running round of the locomotive. The main platform was and still is of sufficient length to accommodate a boat train of 10 or 11 coaches. The \"up\" (westbound) through-platform was shorter but this did not prevent it being used by the North Country boat train in the morning, which consisted of 11 or 12 carriages and would overhang the end of the platform considerably at the eastern end of the station.
The Manningtree to Harwich local service used the last one-third of the main platform using a third central access line, which joined the platform at that point allowing a ticket barrier to be used for that part of the platform exclusively. This arrangement allowed a five- or six-coach train to sit at the western end of that platform without the need for any shunting, whereas a full boat train would have to shunt temporarily towards the west to allow the local train access.
### London & North Eastern Railway (1923-1947) {#london_north_eastern_railway_1923_1947}
Following an extension of the maritime quay westward, **Parkeston Quay West** was opened in 1932 and was constructed on a wooden pier. The land in between the pier and the then riverbank was later reclaimed.
During the early years foot passengers had got off at Parkeston Quay station and had walked through to the quay. The construction of Parkeston Quay West enabled trains to deliver the passengers to the quayside removing passengers from the actual quayside and offering an improved interchange. The station consisted of a single platform and was capable of handling a 10- or 11-coach boat train. It serviced the day service to the Hoek van Holland Haven (Hook of Holland Harbour).
This also saw an extension to the yard and the signalling was upgraded in this area during 1931/32.
In 1934 the name Harwich was added to the main station name making it **Harwich Parkeston Quay**.
Harwich and Parkeston was a base for Royal Navy destroyers and other craft during World War 2. Military personnel and munitions were handled by the railway facilities during this time.

## History
### British Railways (1948-1994) {#british_railways_1948_1994}
In 1948 following nationalisation the line became part of British Railways Eastern Region.
After World War 2 Harwich became a major route for troops to Europe during the Cold War and Parkeston Quay was the base port for three troop ships serving the British Army of the Rhine operation in Germany via the Hook of Holland. The vessels initially employed were the *Vienna*, *Empire Parkeston* and *Empire Wansbeck*. In the 1960s Ro-Ro ferries started operating and the three ships were retired.
The Thompson B1 class 4-6-0 class worked many of the other longer distance trains and at the time.
On the evening of 31 January 1953, the North Sea flood of 1953 affected the area with 200 yards of main line embankment washed away. Damage to the decking of the quays was also recorded. The line towards Manningtree was reopened on 5 February, and to Harwich, where there had been further damage, on 23 February.
From 21 May 1968 the two lines between Harwich Parkeston Quay and Harwich Town were operated as two single lines - the former up line was for passenger services and the formers down line for freight.
By the late 1970s the costs of running the dated mechanical signalling systems north of Colchester was recognised and in 1978 a scheme for track rationalisation and re-signalling was duly submitted to the Department of Transport. This was followed by a proposal to electrify the Great Eastern Main Line north of Colchester and branch to Harwich in 1980. Electrification work was undertaken in the early -- mid 1980s.
Parkeston Quay West closed in 1972 with all traffic using the main station. A new two storey passenger terminal was built next to the station building. The 1970s also saw platform realignment and new canopies installed. Harwich Parkeston Quay continued to have locomotive-hauled InterCity services running to both London and the north via `{{rws|Ipswich}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{rws|Bury St Edmunds}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{rws|Ely}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{rws|Peterborough}}`{=mediawiki} (mostly to Manchester and Glasgow Central).
In 1982 British Railways sectorised their operations and the branch fell under the London & South East (later renamed Network SouthEast in 1986).
On 14 April 1985 the first electric train consisting of two Class 308 electric multiple units (EMU) worked the line although the previous year another member of the class had been dragged from Ipswich to Parkeston and used for crew training. The following day a Class 86 locomotive visited the branch to test various sidings and crossings on the line. The full electric service was introduced on 12 May 1985 with InterCity Class 86s working the Liverpool Street boat trains and EMUs working local services.

## History
### The privatisation era (1994-present day) {#the_privatisation_era_1994_present_day}
In April 1994, Railtrack became responsible for the maintenance of the infrastructure; it was succeeded by Network Rail in 2002.
Passenger services have been operated by the following franchises:
- April 1994 to December 1996 - Operated as a non-privatised business unit under the InterCity brand name
- January 1997 to March 2004 - Anglia Railways (owned by GB Railways, but was bought out by FirstGroup in 2003)
- April 2004 to February 2012 - National Express East Anglia
- March 2013 to present - Abellio Greater Anglia
On 27 May 1995 the station name was changed to Harwich International Port although the port was dropped shortly thereafter.
The line was given the marketing name the \"Mayflower line\" in September 1997, with a ceremony held at `{{rws|Mistley}}`{=mediawiki} in the presence of local MP Ivan Henderson.

## Boat Train Operation {#boat_train_operation}
Boat trains commenced running to Harwich Parkeston Quay in 1882 and were timed 1 hour 45 minutes from London Liverpool Street. By 1895 this was down to 1 hour 30 minutes. In 1897 the 8:30 pm train was run as two separate trains - 8:30 pm for the Hook of Holland Harbour and 8:35 pm for Antwerp. With the introduction of corridor restaurant cars in 1904, the time was eased to 1 hour 27 minutes, but the introduction of the large Great Eastern 1500 class 4-6-0 engines in 1912 saw a running time of 1 hour 22 minutes.
In the early days there were boat trains to Liverpool Street but in 1885 the first train operated via Ipswich to Doncaster which paved the way for over a century of trains linking Parkeston Quay to the Midlands and north.
The **North Country Continental** operated between Harwich and Manchester Piccadilly usually being routed via March and the GNGEJR route.
This train included the first restaurant car on the Great Eastern (in 1891) and this was also the first service in the UK to allow third-class passengers to dine. A new train set was built for this service in 1906 and generally operated in the following formation:
ENGINE+THIRD CLASS BRAKE+CORRIDOR THIRD+OPEN THIRD+KITCHEN AND OPEN FIRST+SEMI-OPEN FIRST+SIX WHEEL BRAKE (this constituted the York portion). Then followed various corridor composite brakes followed each detached from the rear of the northbound train en route. These were for LIVERPOOL (detached Doncaster on the outward journey)+ LIVERPOOL + MANCHESTER(detached at Lincoln and routed via the Great Central routes) + BIRMINGHAM (via Midland Railway routes) + BIRMINGHAM (via London and North Western routes)(both of which were detached at March).
Other named boat trains included The Scandinavian which connected to the Esjberg ferry, the Antwerp Continental , the night hook and the Flushing Continental.
Larger GER steam locomotives such as the Claud Hamilton 4-4-0s and GER Class S69 4-6-0s which remained the staple locomotive employed on boat train services throughout LNER days.
The LNER introduced the LNER Class B17 4-6-0 locomotives to the GER and these saw work on the boat trains as did the Thompson designed LNER Class B1 4-6-0s.
During World War II boat train services were suspended.
In the 1950s Britannia Class locomotives allocated to Stratford engine shed worked the Liverpool boat trains although these were usually worked by Parkeston crews. Steam power disappeared from East Anglia in 1962 and boat train working was taken over by Class 31, Class 37 and later Class 47 locomotives.
In 1986 the North Country Continental was renamed The European and was diverted via the North London Line and WCML while the train on the traditional route was now known as the Rheinlander. With the introduction of Sprinter DMus this as changed to \'The Lorelei\' from Parkeston to Liverpool Lime Street with a unit for Birmingham New Street detaching at Peterbrough. The return working from Liverpool was named the Vincent Van Gough.
Electrification of the Harwich Branch in 1985 saw Liverpool Street trains worked by Class 86 and later Class 90s. The Manchester service remained in the hands of the Class 47s until the end of locomotive hauled trains (in May 1988) and the cutting back of services to Peterborough (in May 1994).
The Liverpool Street boat trains also declined as passenger trends changed and today (2024) there are no dedicated boat trains except for specials servicing cruise vessels.

## Boat Train Operation {#boat_train_operation}
### Other railway facilities {#other_railway_facilities}
#### Parkeston (village) {#parkeston_village}
The village of Parkeston, Essex was created in the 1880s for railway and quay staff.
#### Parkeston Yard {#parkeston_yard}
The extensive marshalling yard to the west of the main station provided stabling for the carriage sets which were used on the boat trains and local services, the large numbers of lorries used for servicing Parkeston Quay, and the huge throughput of export and import wagons which were shipped va the train ferry service from Harwich Town. Cargoes were assembled at Parkeston and brought to Harwich for a specific sailing, as there was no long-term storage capacity at the ferry terminal. Import wagons were subject to customs clearance at Parkeston and delays could at times be considerable on individual wagons, cargoes having arrived from various European origins.
The type of wagon passing through the marshalling yard changed towards the end of the century as container or freightliner flats and car flats replaced ferry wagons.
There is little regular freight at this site in 2024 and passenger stock stables overnight having arrived off Liverpool Street services. These generally form early morning and peak hour services to London Liverpool Street.
#### Parkeston Engine Shed {#parkeston_engine_shed}
In the 1870s the building of Parkeston Quay had started and land to the east of that site was allocated for the new engine shed which opened in March 1883. The shed was a four-road brick-built straight-shed with an outdoor turntable located between the shed and running lines. Access to the shed was from the Harwich direction and the shed was provided with coaling and watering facilities. In the 1890s the shed was equipped to deal with some repairs although these were generally undertaken at Ipswich engine shed further down-line.
A new, larger turntable was provided on the site in 1912 and this was installed in time for the delivery of the 1500 class 4-6-0 locomotives, the first of which was allocated to Parkeston. It is probably about this time that access to the shed was improved with a link from the east end of Parkeston Quay station supplementing the existing access.
The shed was part of the Ipswich district (referred to as the Eastern district after 1915).
At the end of the Great Eastern Railway the following locomotives were allocated to Parkeston:
Class (LNER classification) Wheel arrangement Number allocated
----------------------------- ------------------- ------------------
B12 4-6-0 22
D13 4-4-0 5
D14 4-4-0 3
D15 4-4-0 16
E4 2-4-0 14
F3 2-4-2T 9
F4 2-4-2T 1
F5 2-4-2T 2
J14 0-6-0 1
J15 0-6-0 32
J65 0-6-0T 5
J66 0-6-0T 7
J67 0-6-0T 4
J69 0-6-0T 3
J70 0-6-0T Tram 7
In 1930 improved coal facilities were introduced along with a water softening plant in 1935.
The shed was re-roofed in 1950.
By the mid- to late-1950s the number of steam locomotives had declined. Ian Allan\'s *Locoshed Book* listed just 24 on 11 May 1957, (nine B1s, nine J39s, three J15s, one J68 and two N7s). The numbers of shunting and tank engines had been reduced by the arrival of diesel powered units and diesel multiple units had begun to work local services. There were still 33 units allocated overall to the shed in 1959 but by 1967 the facility had been closed and demolished.
#### Parkeston Freightliner Terminal {#parkeston_freightliner_terminal}
The demolition of the locomotive shed allowed the construction of the new Freightliner terminal on the site, which opened on 21 May 1968. The Seafreightliner service operated two sailings per day to Zeebrugge and one sailing per day to Rotterdam, the latter in a joint service with its Dutch counterparts.
The freightliner terminal was closed on 29 April 1994.
The terminal is out of use in 2024 although it is hoped that traffic may return in the future. Rail capacity to Felixstowe on the other side of the estuary is limited by sections of single line which is currently (2025) at capacity. This may see freightliner traffic return to Parkeston one day.
#### Signalling
The area was controlled by three signal boxes using semaphore signalling. From west to east these were:
- Parkeston Goods Junction - this controlled access to the yards and from 1932 to Parkeston West station. The first box opened in 1882 and closed in 1934 when a larger box was provided. This box closed on 1 December 1985.
- Parkeston West - this controlled the west end of Parkeston Quay station and the east end of Parkeston Yard. Dates were similar to Parkeston Goods Junction above.
- Parkeston East - this controlled access to the east off the station and the engine shed. Opened in 1882 it was closed in November 1973.
In 1985 signalling was replaced by more modern automatic signals and controlled from an NX Panel located in Parkeston SB, Located on the site of Parkeston west SB.

## Current services {#current_services}
the typical daily service on the line is one train per hour in each direction, although some additional services run at weekday peak times. The branch trains operate between `{{rws|Harwich Town}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{rws|Manningtree}}`{=mediawiki} calling at all stations, although some are extended to or from `{{rws|Colchester}}`{=mediawiki} and/or London Liverpool Street. There are two trains per day which run direct to `{{rws|Ipswich}}`{=mediawiki}, which utilise the curve avoiding the station at Manningtree. These are operated by bi-mode multiple units and are the 0750 Harwich International to Cambridge and 2147 to Lowestoft as well as two inward workings from Cambridge and Lowestoft. The lines to Cambridge via Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft are not electrified hence the bi-mode operation

# Kang Sang-jung
**Kang Sang-jung** (`{{Korean|hangul=강상중|hanja=姜尙中}}`{=mediawiki}; born 1950), also known by his Japanese name `{{Nihongo|'''Nagano Tetsuo'''|永野鉄男}}`{=mediawiki}, is a Japanese-born South Korean political scientist, writer and public commentator. He has been an academic at several Japanese universities including the University of Tokyo (1996--2013), and President of Seigakuin University (2013--2015). He is currently Chairman of the Board of Kumamoto Prefectural Theatre.
## Biography
The third son of a Korean migrant from the Masan area of Korea, Kang was born and grew up in Kumamoto in Kyūshū. He has described his childhood experiences in his autobiography \"Zainichi\", published in 1994.
After studying at Waseda University, he was an exchange student at the University of Nurnberg, Erlangen in the then West Germany. His encounters with the families of migrant workers in Germany had a lasting influence on his understanding of Zainichi Korean identity.
After returning to Japan, he was involved in the protest movement against the compulsory fingerprinting of foreign residents in the early 1980s. He lectured at Meiji Gakuin University and International Christian University in Tokyo, before being appointed to the University of Tokyo. In 2013 he retired from the University of Tokyo to take up the position of University Professor at [Seigakuin University](http://www.seigakuin.jp/english/index3.html) in Saitama Prefecture, near Tokyo.
Kang\'s early work focused on the political and social thought of Max Weber. He has written extensively on the subject of Zainichi Korean identity, nationalism and its problems, and the relationship between Japan and North Korea. He is also an enthusiastic proponent of Northeast Asian regional integration.
Within the Japanese linguistic sphere, he is one of the most outspoken critics of Japanese Nationalism and United States Imperialism. Related to this, he has been characterized in some right-wing Japanese magazines as being a \"supporter\" of North Korea. Kang himself, however, vigorously contests this, pointing out that his writings have consistently criticized dictatorships, both Right-wing and Left-wing.
His other major works include \"Beyond Orientalism\" (Iwanami, 1996), \"The Perspective of Globalization\" (Iwanami, 2001, co-authored with Yoshimi Shunya), and \"Nationalism\" (Iwanami, 2001).
Kang is widely known as a media commentator in Japan, and has presented a number of TV documentary programs on issues including contemporary Korean society and the problems of nuclear power. His writings include the major bestsellers - \"Nayamu Chikara\" (\"Thee Power of Disquiet\", Shueisha 2008) and \"Kokoro\" (\"Heart\", Shueisha 2013). The second, a novel centred on the events of the 11 March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident, is a profound reflection on the human response to death, and on the search for meaning in the face of suffering and loss. His recent works include influential reassessments of the life and work of the famous novelist Natsume Sōseki: among them \"Soseki no Kotoba\" (\"The Words of Soseki\", Shueisha 2016)

# Rolladen-Schneider LSD Ornith
The **Rolladen-Schneider LSD Ornith** is the first two-seater sailplane to have been built from plastic composites. The single exemplar was designed by Wolf Lemke and Karl Pummer and first flew in May 1972, a few weeks before the Akaflieg Braunschweig SB-10 Schirokko.
## Design and development {#design_and_development}
As far as possible, components from the serially-produced LS1 sailplane were used, including the fuselage forms. This resulted in a cramped cockpit, where the pedals of the rear seat are almost upon the front seat control stick. The two-piece canopy extends back up to the wing spar. The undercarriage comprises fixed wheel and tailskid. The very large rudder is quite striking. The wings were extended at the root by approximately one and a half metres, yielding a span of eighteen metres, with two degrees of negative sweep. Schempp Hirth airbrakes sprout from the wing upper surfaces. Separate actions for the nose-hook and centre of gravity hook are the only control oddity in this pleasant-flying design. The empty weight of only 287 kg is remarkably light for a double-seater.
The Ornith achieved some notable gliding records flying from Switzerland and South Africa. Only one LSD was built and is today in the German Gliding Museum on the Wasserkuppe mountain.

# Brother and Sister
\"**Brother and Sister**\" (also \"**Little Sister and Little Brother**\"; *Brüderchen und Schwesterchen*) is a European fairy tale which was, among others, written down by the Brothers Grimm (KHM 11). It is a tale of Aarne--Thompson Type 450. In Russia the story was more commonly known as \"Sister Alionushka, Brother Ivanushka\", and collected by Alexander Afanasyev in his *Narodnye russkie skazki*.
## Origin
The first recorded appearance of Brother and Sister is in Giambattista Basile\'s *Pentamerone* around the 17th century. It was written down as the tale of Ninnillo and Nennella. Since then it has circulated in a number of European countries under varying titles but with most of the main story intact. In Russia the story was more commonly known as *Sister Alionushka, Brother Ivanushka*, and collected by Alexander Afanasyev in his *Narodnye russkie skazki*.
A shorter version of the tale was published by the Brothers Grimm in the first edition of *Kinder- und Hausmärchen* in 1812, then substantially expanded and revised in the second edition (1819). Their version is based on the account of the German storyteller Marie Hassenpflug (1788--1856).
At times, Brother and Sister has been confused with Hansel and Gretel, which has also been known under the alternate title of Little Brother and Little Sister. The Grimms selected Hansel and Gretel for the tale by that name and kept the Brother and Sister title for this tale. Some publications of the Hansel and Gretel tale still use the Little Brother and Little Sister title, causing confusion for readers.
The Polish folklorist Julian Krzyżanowski suggested that a 1558 Latin language booklet by a Polish author and poet, Christopher Kobylienski, contains a literary treatment of the tale type: a pair of siblings escapes from home; the boy drinks from \"dangerous waters\" cursed by a witch and becomes a lamb; his sister marries a king, but a creature named Invidia shoves her into the sea and replaces her; the sister becomes a fish.

# Brother and Sister
## Synopsis
Tired of the cruel mistreatment they endure from their stepmother, who is an evil witch, a brother and sister run away from home, wander off into the countryside, and spend the night in the woods. By morning, the boy is thirsty, so the children go looking for a spring of clear water. However, their stepmother has already discovered their escape and has bewitched all the springs in the forest. The boy is about to drink from one, when his sister hears how its rushing sound says, \"whoever drinks from me will become a tiger\" (or lion).
Desperately, the girl begs her brother not to drink from the spring, lest he transform into a tiger and attack her. So they continue on their way, but when they come to the second spring, the girl hears it say, \"whoever drinks from me will become a wolf\". Again, she desperately tries to prevent her brother from drinking from it. Reluctantly, he eventually agrees to her pleas but insists he drink from the next spring they encounter. And so they arrive at the third spring, and the girl overhears the rushing water cry, \"whoever drinks from me will become a deer\". But before she could stop her brother, he has already drunk from it, and turned into a deer.
As the initial feeling of despair passes, the children decide to live in the woods forever. The girl takes care of her brother, and ties her gold chain around his neck. They go to live in a little house deep within the woods and live there happily for some years, until they are disturbed one day by a hunting party and the king himself who has followed the strange deer home. Upon seeing the beautiful girl, he immediately asks her to marry him and she accepts. Thus she becomes queen and they all live happily in the king\'s castle. Time passes and the queen gives birth to a son.
The witch, however, soon discovers that they are still alive, and plots against them. One night, she kills the queen and replaces her with her own disfigured daughter, whom she has transformed to a physical copy of her. When the queen\'s ghost secretly visits her baby\'s bedside for three consecutive nights, the king catches on and her stepmother\'s evil plan is exposed.
The queen comes back to life when the king embraces her, and her stepfamily are tried for their crimes. The witch\'s daughter is banished into the woods where she is eaten by wild animals, and the wicked stepmother herself is burned at the stake. At the exact moment of the witch\'s death, the deer becomes human again, and at long last the family is reunited, and they lived happily ever after.

# Brother and Sister
## Analysis
### Tale type {#tale_type}
\"Brother and Sister\" is similar to other AT-450 tales, such as \"The Lambkin and the Little Fish\". In some versions the queen is not killed but merely put in a trance by the wicked stepmother until she is awakened by the king. In West-Slavic variants, the reason the siblings escape from home is to thwart a cannibalistic attempt by their parents.
### Relation to other tale types {#relation_to_other_tale_types}
The tale has been noted to contain similarities, among others, to tale types AaTh 403, \"The Black and the White Bride\"; AaTh 451, \"The Seven Ravens\"; AaTh 706, \"Salvatica\"; and AaTh 710, \"Our Lady\'s Child\". Hungarian-American folklorist Linda Dégh and Stith Thompson also remarked on the closeness between types 450 and 403. In this regard, German folklorist Ines Köhler noted the commonalities between both types (e.g., the role of the heroine\'s brother and the heroine\'s substitution), but remarked that the \"main feature\" of type ATU 450 is the brother\'s animal transformation.
### Variants
According to folklorist Paul Delarue, the tale type is \"very well known in Eastern Europe\" but \"not widely disseminated in Western Europe\". In this regard, Swedish scholar Waldemar Liungman argued that the tale type was distributed along the Lower Danube region, in the West Slavic-speaking regions and in the Balkans.
Stith Thompson located variants in Eastern Europe (Russia, Baltic region and the Balkans), but also across the Near East and into India. Likewise, Lithuanian folklorist Bronislava Kerbelyte stated that the tale is \"popular\" in Lithuania and neighbouring countries.
#### Europe
In the early 20th century, Elsabet Róna-Sklarek also claimed that the story was \"sehr beliebten\" (\"very popular\") in Hungary. In this regard, the Hungarian Folktale Catalogue (MNK) registers 48 variants, classified as type 450, *Az őztestvér* (\"The Roe Deer Sibling\").
According to German scholar Kurt Ranke, tale type ATU 450 is \"not very common\" in Germany, but he lists up to fourteen texts collected after the Grimm\'s tale.
##### Southern Europe {#southern_europe}
Scholars Anna Angelopoulou and Aigle Broskou state that tale type 450 is \"widespread\" in Greece, with 124 variants recorded.
##### Iberian Peninsula {#iberian_peninsula}
Hasan El-Shamy noted that the tale type does appear in Iberian Peninsula, although it seems to be \"infrequent\". In the same vein, folktale catalogues of Portugal and Spain attest few variants in both countries (regionally in Spain and sparsely in Portugal).
##### Slavic peoples {#slavic_peoples}
In the East Slavic Folktale Classification (*translit=SUS*), tale type ATU 450 is classified as type SUS 450, \"Братец и сестрица\" (\"Little Brother and Little Sister\"), wherein the heroine\'s brother becomes a kid goat. Most of the indexed variants are located in Russia, but the tale type is also reported in Ukraine and Belarus.
The tale type is also attested in the Polish Folktale Catalogue by Julian Krzyżanowski, indexed as Polish type T 450, *Brat-baranek* (\"Brother Lamb\"). In the Polish type, the sibling pair either escapes from home or are abandoned in the forest by their parents; later, the boy drinks some water from an animal\'s footprint and becomes a lamb, a goat or a bull; the sister eventually marries a king, but is replaced by her stepmother or a rival.
The type is also attested in the Bulgarian Folktale Catalogue with the title \"Братчето еленче\" (\"Little Fawn Brother\") or *Brüderchen Hirsch* (\"Little Hart Brother\"): the brother and sister escape from a cannibalistic attempt by their parents in a \"Magical Flight\" sequence by throwing objects behind them (a comb, a jug of water, razors), or their stepmother convinces their father to abandon the two in the forest; while traversing the woods, the boy drinks water from a deer\'s hoofprints and becomes one; they settle in the forest, the sister atop a tree near a spring, and the deer underneath it; eventually, the sister is found by a king and marries him.
##### Baltic region {#baltic_region}
The tale type is also registered in the Estonian Folktale Catalogue, indexed as type 450, *Vennake ja õeke* (\"Little Brother and Little Sister\"): the siblings escape from their evil stepmother; the brother drinks from a spring and becomes a roe; a king finds the sister and marries her; the evil stepmother kills the sister and substitutes with her own daughter.
According to the Latvian Folktale Catalogue, the tale type is also found in Latvia, indexed as type 450, *Apburtais brālis* (\"Enchanted Brother\"): the pair of siblings escape from their stepmother; the brother drinks water and becomes an animal (deer, ram, wolf, goat, or horse); the sister marries a king, but the stepmother comes back and shoves her into the water.
Lithuanian folklorist Jonas Balys, in his analysis of Lithuanian folktales (published in 1936), classified the tale as *Avinėliu paverstas berniukas (Jonukas ir Elenytė)* (\"The Boy Changed to a Lamb (John and Helen)\"), with 43 variants registered until then. In these tales, the boy becomes a \"silken, fleecy lamb\", and, after his sister marries the prince, their step-mother turns her into a duck. Years later, fellow folklorist Bronislava Kerbelyte reported 133 variants of the tale type in this country.
##### Caucasus Region {#caucasus_region}
The Georgian Folktale Index registers a similar narrative, indexed as type 450, \"Little Brother and Little Sister\": the brother becomes a deer by drinking from the animal\'s hoofprint; the sister marries the king and is drowned by a witch.
#### Asia
In his Catalogue of Persian Folktales, German scholar Ulrich Marzolph reports 11 Iranian variants of type 450, \"Brüderchen und Schwesterchen\" (\"Little Brother and Little Sister\"), wherein the pair of siblings escape from their evil stepmother or from a div, and the little brother becomes a gazelle by drinking from a water source.
Scholars Wolfram Eberhard and Pertev Naili Boratav devised a classification system for Turkish folktales, titled *Typen türkischer Volksmärchen* (\"Turkish Folktale Catalogue\"). In the Turkish catalogue, they indexed a similar narrative as type TTV 168, \"Bruder Hirsch\" (\"The Deer Brother\"), with 32 variants in Turkey. In this type, the stepmother wishes for the death of her step-children, a brother and sister pair, who escape from her in a Magical Flight sequence. After the siblings make their way to the woods, the brother drinks water from a puddle and becomes a deer, while the girl takes refuge up a tree. Later, she is found by a prince whom she marries, but a servant throws her in the water and she is swallowed by a fish.
Scholar Hasan El-Shamy located 43 variants of the tale type across West Asia and North Africa. In these tales, the heroine\'s brother may be transformed into a deer, a goat or a kid goat.
#### Africa
Hasan El-Shamy located 43 variants of the tale type across West Asia and North Africa. In addition, the tale type is \"frequent\" in North Africa, but only two variants were collected from Subsaharan Africa.

# Brother and Sister
## Interpretations
### Historical approach {#historical_approach}
This tale, like \"The Twelve Brothers\", \"The Seven Ravens\", and \"The Six Swans\", features a woman rescuing her brother. In the era and region in which it was collected, many men were drafted by kings for soldiers, to be sent as mercenaries. As a consequence, many men made their daughter their heirs; however, they also exerted more control over them and their marriages as a consequence. The stories have been interpreted as a wish by women for the return of their brothers, freeing them from this control. However, the issues of when the stories were collected are unclear, and stories of this type have been found in many other cultures, where this issue can not have inspired them.
### Psychological interpretation {#psychological_interpretation}
Modern psycho-analysis interprets the relation between brother and sister in this story as a metaphor for the animalistic and spiritual duality in humans. The brother represents the instinctive and the sister the rational side. As *Brother and Sister* opens, the two children are still in their youth and clearly in conflict over each other\'s choices. The brother cannot control his impulse to drink from the wellspring and is subsequently \"punished\" by being turned into a deer. Note then the symbolical gesture with which the girl ties her gold chain around her brother\'s neck, as if to suggest the taming of the animalistic side. Following is a period of relative happiness in which the two sides live in harmony with each other. In this context, Brother and Sister could be viewed as a veiled coming of age tale. In this story the animalistic side is associated with the male and the spiritual/rational side with the female.
It has also been interpreted for messages about family fidelity through adversity and separation.

# Brother and Sister
## Adaptations
### Television
Nippon Animation Company of Japan featured the story in one episode of season two of its anime television series, *Grimm\'s Fairy Tale Classics*. The siblings are given names other than their \"titles\": Rudolph for the Brother, Rosa for the Sister. Rosa is *not* murdered by the Witch, but instead is abducted and forcibly taken into a mountain. She uses some sort of bilocation to send out her soul and feed her baby, but it weakens her greatly in the process; her husband the King and his soldiers rescue her right before she withers away. The evil stepsister is omitted from the story, and the Witch dies offscreen rather than being burned at the stake.
A Hungarian variant of the tale was adapted into an episode of the Hungarian television series *Magyar népmesék* (\"Hungarian Folk Tales\") (hu), with the title *Cerceruska*. In this version, the maiden has a little sister who drinks from the pool of water in the woods and is transformed into a deer.
The Russian variant of the tale was adapted into a cartoon in 1953.
### Literature
Contemporary literary works that draw upon this fairy tale and its analytical themes include \"In the Night Country\", a story by Ellen Steiber, \"Brother and Sister\", a poem by Terri Windling, and \"Sister and Brother\", a poem by Barth Anderson

# Australian Geographic
**Australian Geographic** is a media business that produces the *Australian Geographic* and Australian Geographic Adventure magazine, australiangeographic.com.au and operates, either itself or business partners, Australian Geographic stores, Australian Geographic Travel and various other businesses.
*Australian Geographic* magazine, originally titled *Dick Smith\'s Australian Geographic*, is a bi-monthly geographical journal created by Dick Smith in 1986. The magazine focuses mainly on stories about Australia, or about Australian people in other countries. The six editions published each year are available by subscription and on newsstands. They include posters or sheet maps in each edition, as well as photographs and detailed technical illustrations.
The entire Australian Geographic magazine archive is available on its website to subscribers.
The profits earned by Australian Geographic Holdings are contributed the Australian Geographic Society which is a registered Australian Charity.
## History
The *Australian Geographic* magazine, originally titled *Dick Smith\'s Australian Geographic*, was initially published by Australian Geographic Pty Ltd, a private company controlled by Dick Smith, the founder of Dick Smith Electronics and Dick Smith Foods. His name was removed from the title two years later. Australian Geographic Pty Ltd also operated the Australian Geographic chain of retail stores. The publication\'s offices were originally based in Terrey Hills north of Sydney. Smith wanted the publication to focus on accuracy by exclusively including articles that were peer-reviewed. Australian Geographic acquired rights to the *Australian Encyclopaedia* and published editions in 1988 and 1996. In 1995, when subscriptions totalled more than 200,000, Smith sold the business to Fairfax Media for A\$41 million.
In December 1998, the business was bought out by its management.
From September 2000 to December 2001, *Australian Geographic* published a bimonthly science and technology magazine known as *Newton Graphic Science*. There were, however, only eight issues published before the magazine went permanently out of print.
In November 2006, PBL Media\'s ACP Magazines (now Bauer Media Group) purchased the Australian Geographic publishing division. The *Australian Geographic* magazine was then based at Park Street, Sydney. The editor-in-chief of *Australian Geographic* was Chrissie Goldrick, while the editor was John Pickrell.
In September 2007, Australian Geographic Retail, which operates an online store and retail stores selling products including Australiana, weather stations, telescopes, books and toys, was sold separately to the publication business. From 2007 to 2016 Australian Geographic Retail was owned by Myer Family Investments but after large operating losses it was sold in August 2016 to The Co-op, a retail supplier to universities. The license ended in 2019.
In 2018, the publication was sold to Blue Ant Media. Blue Ant Media subsequently sold all its Australian businesses to RACAT Group, including Australian Geographic and the Sydney-based Northern Pictures.

The award ceremony, attended in 2018 by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, is a celebration of achievement and is not a competition. The award is given in five categories -- Lifetime of Adventure, Lifetime of Conservation, Adventurer of the Year, Conservationist of the Year, Spirit of Adventure, Young Adventurer of the Year and Young Conservationist of the Year.

# Giuliano Montaldo
**Giuliano Montaldo** `{{small|[[Order of Merit of the Italian Republic|OMRI]]}}`{=mediawiki} (22 February 1930 -- 6 September 2023) was an Italian film director, screenwriter, and actor. He was known internationally for his biographical docudrama *Sacco & Vanzetti* (1971), which was nominated for the Palme d\'Or, and the historical miniseries *Marco Polo* (1982), which won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series. He served as the 5th President of the Accademia del Cinema Italiano.
## Biography
### Early life and career {#early_life_and_career}
Montaldo was born in Genoa in 1930. He had his first acting experiences in \"mass theatre\" productions conducted by the Italian Communist Party. While he was still a young student, Montaldo was recruited by the director Carlo Lizzani for a role in the war drama *Attention! Bandits!* (1951). Following this experience he began an apprenticeship as an assistant director of Lizzani, Elio Petri, and Gillo Pontecorvo, as well as appearing in *Abandoned* (1955).
He was Pontecorvo\'s second unit director for *The Battle of Algiers* (1966). The director originally wanted him to play the part of Colonel Mathieu, leader of the French Army paratroopers and principal antagonist of the film. Montaldo talked him out of it, believing audiences wouldn\'t take the film seriously with him in the role.
> \"I took him aside and said, Gillo, listen: All through the movie you hear about this paratroop leader, Colonel Mathieu. Everybody is afraid of him, everybody is waiting for him, the audience expects to see a fierce fighter coming. Now, imagine a screening on a Saturday afternoon at the Adriano in Rome. Everyone is afraid, waiting for this Mathieu to show up, and when he appears, someone in the theater shouts, 'It's that jerk Montaldo, look!' and the cinema breaks out with laughter. Is that what you want? Eventually he changed his mind.\"
In 1960, he made his debut as a director with *Pigeon Shoot*, about the partisan resistance, which entered a competition in Venice Film Festival in 1961
### International breakthrough {#international_breakthrough}
In 1965, he wrote and directed *The Reckless*, a cynical representation of the economic boom of Italy, winning the Special Prize of the Jury at 15th Berlin International Film Festival. He then directed the heist film *Grand Slam* (1967), which starred an international cast including Edward G. Robinson, Klaus Kinski, and Janet Leigh.
His cinema career continued with *Machine Gun McCain*, a US-set gangster picture starring John Cassavetes as a convicted bank robber recruited to rob a mob-run Las Vegas casino. The film also starred Peter Falk (in the first of several collaborations with Cassavetes), Britt Ekland and Gena Rowlands. It was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival\'s Palme d\'Or, the first of two times Montaldo would be nominated for the honor.
Montaldo then directed a thematic trilogy about the abuses of the military, judicial and religious power. The first film, *The Fifth Day of Peace* (1970), was based on the 13 May 1945 German deserter execution. The second, *Sacco and Vanzetti,* was about the trial, conviction, and executions of two Italian-American anarchists over false charges of murder. The film was a widespread critical success, earning Montaldo his second Palme d\'Or nod, and is credited with spreading awareness of the duo\'s story worldwide. The soundtrack, written by Ennio Morricone and Joan Baez, is also well-regarded. The third film of Montaldo\'s trilogy was *Giordano Bruno* (1973), about the Italian philosopher and scientist who was executed by the Catholic Church for heresy.
In 1971, he was a member of the jury at the 7th Moscow International Film Festival.
In 1975, he was a second unit director for the Terence Hill-starring Spaghetti Western *A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe*.
In 1978, he directed the thriller *Closed Circuit*. Originally produced for television, the film was nominated for the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.
In 1982, he directed the internationally co-produced television miniseries *Marco Polo*. The series, which aired on NBC in the United States, was the first Western film or television production to be shot on-location in the People\'s Republic of China, including location shooting in the Forbidden City. The series won Outstanding Limited Series at the 34th Primetime Emmy Awards.
In 1987, he directed *Control*, an ensemble drama starring Burt Lancaster, Ben Gazzara, Kate Nelligan, Ingrid Thulin and Erland Josephson; and *The Gold Rimmed Glasses*, which was nominated for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
In 1989, he directed *Time to Kill* (1989), with Nicolas Cage, based on Ennio Flaiano\'s novel of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War.
### Later works and retirement {#later_works_and_retirement}
Between 1999 and 2008, he was the President of RAI\'s film production subsidiary Rai Cinema.
In 2008, after a nearly 20-year hiatus, he directed the Fyodor Dostoevsky biopic *The Demons of St. Petersberg*.
In 2011, he directed his final film, *The Entrepreneur*.
He retired from directing thereafter, but continued to make acting appearances. He won the David di Donatello for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the 2017 dramedy *Friends by Chance*.
## Accademia del Cinema Italiano {#accademia_del_cinema_italiano}
Montaldo was elected th 5th President of the Accademia del Cinema Italiano in 2016. He held the office until 2017. He was appointed Honorary President the following year, a position he held until his death in 2023.

# Earth System Research Laboratories
The **Earth System Research Laboratories** (**ESRL**) is an alliance of four NOAA scientific labs, all located in the David Skaggs Research Center on the Department of Commerce campus in Boulder, Colorado. Organized under NOAA\'s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, ESRL\'s main goal is to advance the scientific understanding of weather, climate, air quality, water resources, and other Earth system components.
The four labs' intersecting missions have generated a legacy of accomplishment over the past 50 years. Backed by scientists from cooperative research institutes at the University of Colorado and Colorado State University, ESRL has been an engine of scientific discovery, producing environmental models and products, along with forecasting and decision-support tools to protect life and safety, and support commerce at local to global scales.
Together with its university partners and the nearby National Center for Atmospheric Research, ESRL has helped Boulder earn a reputation as one of the premier global centers for atmospheric research.
## Laboratories
The Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) advances scientific understanding of the chemical and physical processes that affect Earth\'s atmospheric composition and climate.
The Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) researches greenhouse gas and carbon cycle feedbacks, changes in clouds, aerosols, and surface radiation, and the recovery of stratospheric ozone.
The Global Systems Laboratory (GSL) develops next-generation weather forecast models, decision support tools, visualization systems, and uses high-performance computing technology to support a Weather-Ready Nation.
The Physical Sciences Laboratory (PSL) conducts weather, climate, and hydrologic research to effectively anticipate and respond to the challenges of hydrologic extremes.
## History
**On October 1, 2005**, NOAA\'s Aeronomy Laboratory, Climate Diagnostics Center, Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory, Environmental Technology Laboratory, and Forecast Systems Laboratory were merged into four divisions of the newly formed Earth System Research Laboratory. These were the Chemical Sciences Division, Global Monitoring Division, Global Systems Division, and Physical Sciences Division.
**On April 2, 2020**, NOAA designated the four divisions of the Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder as full laboratories within the NOAA Oceanic and Atmospheric Research line office to meet recent shifts in mission-essential priorities. The four laboratories retained their core research missions and continue to collaborate closely with each other and other NOAA Research laboratories to improve understanding and ability to predict changes in Earth\'s atmosphere, climate, and weather

# Arrington Dixon
**Arrington Liggins Dixon** (born December 3, 1942) is an American politician who is a former Chair and Member of the Council of the District of Columbia of Washington, D.C.
## Early years {#early_years}
Dixon was born on December 3, 1942 in Anacostia in Washington, D.C., to James and Sally Dixon.
## Council of the District of Columbia {#council_of_the_district_of_columbia}
### 1975--1979
In November 1974, Dixon was chosen to represent Ward 4 when voters elected the first members of the Council of the District of Columbia, the legislature of the city\'s new home rule government. The initial term for the Ward 4 seat, like those for half the council seats, was only 2 years, to provide for staggered council elections in later years, but in 1976 Dixon was reelected to a full four-year term.
### 1979--1983 {#section_1}
In 1978, council chairman Sterling Tucker ran for mayor rather than seeking reelection. Dixon, who was halfway through his Ward 4 term, decided to run for Chair of the Council and won. He served 4 years. In 1982, Dixon ran for re-election, but he was defeated in the Democratic primary by David A. Clarke.
Dixon was later appointed by Mayor Marion Barry to serve as a public member of the National Capital Planning Commission.
### 1997 {#section_2}
More than a decade later, Dixon returned to the council as an at-large member for a few months in 1997 when he was chosen in August by the District of Columbia Democratic State Committee to replace Linda Cropp, who had vacated her at-large seat to become chairman. The appointment lasted only until a December special election, in which he was defeated by then-Republican David Catania. Catania was sworn in on December 15, 1997.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
In 1966, he married Sharon Pratt Kelly, and they had daughters Aimee and Drew. His daughters were born in 1968 and 1970. The couple divorced in 1982 after sixteen years of marriage

# New York State Canal Corporation
The **New York State Canal Corporation** is a New York State public-benefit corporation responsible for the oversight, administration and maintenance of the New York State Canal System, which consists of the Erie Canal, Cayuga--Seneca Canal, Oswego Canal and Champlain Canal. It is also involved with the development and maintenance of the New York State Canalway Trail and with the general development and promotion of the Erie Canal Corridor as both a tourist attraction and a working waterway. The canal system totals 524 miles in length, and includes 57 locks and 17 lift bridges. The corporation suggests that canal boat travelers reserve 5 days to traverse the Erie Canal portion of the system.
## Organization
The current director of the New York State Canal Corporation is Brian Stratton, who was appointed to the position by Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Spring of 2011. Executive officers report to a 7-member board of directors. For 2018, the board approved an expenditures budget of \$82 million for operations and maintenance, \$40 million for capital expenditures, and \$3 million for Canal Development Fund expenses.
In 2012, the New York State Canal Corporation employed 529 people, consisting of 458 full-time employees and 78 seasonal workers. Its spending accounted for about 10 percent of the New York State Thruway\'s total \$1.1 billion in annual spending. In 2012, the Canal Corp.'s operating budget was \$55.7 million and its capital budget was \$51.4 million. An August 2012 report by state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said the canal system \"contributed to the deterioration of the Authority\'s financial condition over the past decade\", even as canal traffic had dropped nearly one-third since the period immediately before the Thruway Authority assumed control.
## Ownership changes {#ownership_changes}
In May 2006, Governor George Pataki proposed recreating the New York State Canal Corporation by 2010 as an independent agency no longer under the oversight of the New York State Thruway. This did not come to pass. The New York Power Authority has been financially responsible for the Canal Corporation since April 2016 and has owned it since January 1, 2017.
## Controversy
In 2004, it was discovered that officials of the Canal Corporation had attempted to sell private development rights to large stretches of the Old Erie Canal to a single developer for a mere \$30,000, far less than the land was worth on the open market. After an investigation by Syracuse\'s *Post-Standard* newspaper and much public criticism, governor George Pataki later quietly canceled the deal

# The K Chronicles
***The K Chronicles*** is an autobiographical weekly comic strip by the independent cartoonist Keith Knight that has been produced since the early 1990s. Knight is an African-American artist whose comics often explore themes relevant to his racial heritage, as well as current events, both personal to Knight and general to the world.
## Publication history {#publication_history}
Until February 2010 *The K Chronicles* was updated every Wednesday at Salon.com. The strip previously appeared in the *San Francisco Examiner*.
## Story and characters {#story_and_characters}
**Keith \"Keef\" Knight** --- The cartoonist and protagonist. The strip centers mainly around his life.
**Kerstin Konietzka-Knight** --- Keith\'s German-born wife.
**George W. Bush** --- Keith mercilessly lampooned the 43rd President of the United States and his administration. In many strips, Bush is shown as a child, or having the mind of one, as shown by his tiny size and frequent childish giggling.
**Dick Cheney** --- In contrast to Bush, Vice President Cheney appears in the strip as a sort of evil mastermind (for example, after the real-life shooting of Harry Whittington, Cheney appears and after hearing a witness say that what he did was illegal, boasts that he has already done so many illegal things, such as fixing the 2000 election, without being punished, that he is confident that he will escape penalty again). He also makes an appearance in an installment entitled \"People Who Can\'t Be Trusted\", where he is placed on the list along with people who put cats on leashes, people who have never seen *The Simpsons*, and others.
**God** --- Depicted in *The K Chronicles* as a hamster. In one *K Chronicles Collection*, \"The Passion of the Keef\", God appears to deliver the introduction, in which he reveals that *The K Chronicles* are among his favorite reading material. He also shows up at other times in the strip, such as to visit and hang out with Keith.
**Evil Twin** --- Keith\'s twin sister.
**Gunther** --- Ex-roommate and drinking buddy.
### Special features {#special_features}
*Life\'s Little Victories* --- A frequently occurring feature of *The K Chronicles* in which Knight lists the small victories of everyday life, such as \"Running into a movie theater and making sitting down just as the lights are fading\", or \"Having just enough ingredients to make a fresh bowl of guacamole!\" Sometimes the feature has a special theme, such as the \"foreign version\" which takes place when Keith is visiting his in-laws in Germany, and the \"on crutches\" version, taking place when Keith was on crutches for two months after tearing his Achilles tendon.
## In other media {#in_other_media}
In November 2018 it was announced that Hulu would be producing a half-hour sitcom, titled *Woke*, based on *The K Chronicles* and events from Knight\'s life. The show will be co-written by Knight; actor Lamorne Morris will be playing Knight.
## Awards
In 2007, *The K Chronicles* won the Harvey Kurtzman Award for Best Syndicated Comic Strip. The other nominees were *Antiques: The Comic Strip*, *Doonesbury*, *Maakies* and *Mutts*.
*The K Chronicles* has won \"Best Comic Strip\" three times in the Glyph Comics Awards, in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

# Bud Bowl
The **Bud Bowl** was a stop motion animated Super Bowl advertising campaign first aired in 1989, and sporadically during the 1990s. It served as an advertisement for Anheuser-Busch\'s Budweiser family of beers. It featured anthropomorphized Budweiser bottles playing a football game against Bud Light bottles.
## History
Bud Bowl I was aired in 1989 during the telecast of Super Bowl XXIII. It was originally created in the D\'arcy Masius Benton & Bowles Account Service Dept by Tom Gooch and Rich Lalley who were looking for a way to strategically be involved with the Super Bowl. David Henke and Bill Oakley of D\'arcy Masius Benton & Bowles were the creative team behind the original Bud Bowl. The 3D computer graphics promotional spots preceding the game commercials were made by San Francisco Production Group. The stop-motion filming process was painstaking, involving eight hours of work to produce just three seconds of footage. Bud Bowl II was shot with stop motion animation by Broadcast Arts in NYC. Bud Ice and Bud Dry would make appearances in later Bud Bowls. Beer bottles with the voices of Terry Bradshaw and Tom Landry (the latter of which was topped with Landry\'s distinctive fedora) also made appearances. It has been jokingly said`{{by who|date=August 2019}}`{=mediawiki} that the Bud Bowl was actually more exciting than the Super Bowl itself in some years. Starting with the fourth edition, a consumer contest was tied to the commercials, with game pieces distributed in the product packaging. Gambling on the outcome of the Bud Bowl was also common, despite the fact that some people knew the results before the actual airing.
In later years, Bud Bowl was retained as an advertising promotion, but in different forms. Beginning with the fifth edition, the bottles were transitioned to CGI by Pacific Data Images (later PDI/DreamWorks). In the sixth edition, the CGI bottles however were done by Boss Film Studios. In 1996, it served as a contest only. Game pieces with football plays written on it were distributed, and viewers with the winning play on their piece won. By 1998, it was mostly removed from television. Bud Bowl was used often in static store display promotions, and/or contests. By 2002, it was attached to a series of local events, such as concerts, festivals, and \"block parties,\" taking place at the host city of the Super Bowl in the days leading up to the game.

# RainbowCrack
**RainbowCrack** is a computer program which generates rainbow tables to be used in password cracking. RainbowCrack differs from \"conventional\" brute force crackers in that it uses large pre-computed tables called rainbow tables to reduce the length of time needed to crack a password drastically. RainbowCrack was developed by Zhu Shuanglei, and implements an improved time--memory tradeoff cryptanalysis attack which originated in Philippe Oechslin\'s Ophcrack.
Some organizations have made RainbowCrack\'s rainbow tables available free over the internet

# 1997 SEA Games
The **1997 Southeast Asian Games** (*Pesta Olahraga Asia Tenggara 1997*), officially known as the **19th Southeast Asian Games** (*Pesta Olahraga Asia Tenggara ke-19*; the 19th SEA Games), were a Southeast Asian multi-sport event held in Jakarta, Indonesia. This was the third time that Indonesia hosted the games. Jakarta also hosted the SEA Games in 1979 and 1987.
Around 4,696 athletes from 10 participating nations participated at the games, which featured 440 events in 34 sports. The games was held from 11 to 19 October 1997, although several events had commenced from 5 October 1997. The games was opened by Soeharto, the President of Indonesia at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, which was then known at the time as Senayan Sports Stadium.
The final medal tally was led by hosts Indonesia, followed by Thailand and Malaysia. Several Games and National Records were broken during the games. The games were deemed generally successful with the rising standard of competition amongst the Southeast Asian nations.
## Development and preparation {#development_and_preparation}
The Organising Committee Of The 19th SEA Games Jakarta 1997 (JASOC) led by President Wismoyo Arismunandar was formed to oversee the staging of the games.
### Venues
The 1997 Southeast Asian Games used a mix of new, existing and temporary venues. Some major retrofitting work were done in most venues, although they had been used to host major multi-disciplinary events such as the 1962 Asian Games, the 1979 Southeast Asian Games and the 1987 Southeast Asian Games.
At the centrepiece of the activities was the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex, then Senayan Sports Complex which was completed on 24 July 1962. Incorporating the 120,800-seat national stadium at that time, it hosted most of the events.
A games village was not built. Instead, a \"village in the city\" concept saw athletes and officials housed in were housed in hotels in Jakarta and West Java. Besides being physically near to the sport venues, it was hoped that it will add vibe to both provinces and reduce post-games costs in converting a dedicated games village to other uses.
There were 35 venues for the games, 29 in Jakarta and 6 in West Java.

## Marketing
### Logo
The official logo for the 1997 Games is an interpretation of three flames, and two torch rings, which reflects the Indonesian state philosophy of the Pancasila. The upward flames represent the aspiration of the participating nations to achieve the highest standards at the Jakarta SEA Games.
The colours of red, blue, and yellow are the basic colours of the flame. The color red represents the \"spirit\" of the Games, while the blue represents the \"dynamism\" of the Games, and the yellow represents the \"hope\" the Games brings to the athletes and people of Southeast Asia. The six-ring chain symbol, the emblem of the Southeast Asian Games Federation, symbolizes the Games\' six founding nations and the SEA Games itself, and its gold colour represents the quality and solidarity of the Games.
The logo is the last one to feature the organization\'s 6-ring emblem, just before it was replaced by its new 10-ring symbol (reflecting the present number of its member nations at the time), which was then introduced at the next edition in 1999.
### Mascot
The mascot of the 1997 Southeast Asian Games is a Ramayana epic character named \"Hanuman\". The Ramayana, known in Java, Indonesia as Kakawin Ramayana, is an Indian epic, which spread into Southeast Asia including the Indonesian archipelago during the ancient times. It does not only exists in oral and literary works, but also serves as the underlying theme for art performances and as the inspiration for other works, such as sculptures, paintings and literature. According to the Ramayana epic, he is an ardent devotee of Rama who fighting alongside him in the face of conflict and struggle and is always successful in accomplishing his tasks due to his superiority in speed, strength and altitude. The tasks managed by Hanuman in the epic includes: travel to Alengka (Lanka) and back in a day, fought in several battles and able to fly in the clouds when performing duties. Hanuman exist in the form of a white monkey in the Javanese adaptation of the epic and is one of the characters featured in the Wayang Shadow Puppet Show, known to the locals with the title *Sang Kera Pemuja Dewa Rama* (The mighty devotee ape of Rama). The adoption of Hanuman as the games mascot is to promote the games motto: \"May the best man win\", a phrase used before a competition to hope that the most deserving person wins. The cotton white colour of his body hair, a colour which symbolises sincerity and innocence, while the gold and black colour represents his attribute as a Wayang character. His cotton white colour represents sportsmanship spirit, while the yellow and black colour represents quality.

# Halton, Runcorn
**Halton**, formerly a separate village, is now part of the town of Runcorn, Cheshire, England. The name *Halton* has been assumed by the Borough of Halton, which includes Runcorn, Widnes, and some outlying parishes.
## History
There is evidence of human occupation in the Stone Age and during the Roman era. The village is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) in the hundred of Tunendune. Towards the end of the 11th century, the first castle, which became the seat of the Barons of Halton, was built on the hill. The Tunendune hundred court was absorbed into Bucklow hundred by 1260 so government statistics for Halton over many later centuries are indexed by Bucklow hundred.
During the medieval period, a deer park measuring 100 acre lay to the south and the west of the village. At this time, Halton had a weekly market and annual fair. The village held a court leet and the castle was used as a prison. During the Civil War, the castle was held by the Royalists and twice besieged by Parliamentary forces. Following this the castle fell into ruin. The importance of Halton declined with the coming of the Industrial Revolution and the development of the chemical and other industries in Runcorn.
Halton was formerly a township and chapelry in the parish of Runcorn. In 1866, Halton became a separate civil parish. On 1 April 1967, the parish was abolished and merged with Runcorn.
## Geography
The village stands in an elevated position at 240 ft compared with the surrounding area which lies at about 100 ft. At its centre is an outcrop of sandstone which rises to a height of 252.6 ft. On the summit of the outcrop are the ruins of Halton Castle. The major road, Main Street, passes below the castle, to its west and south, and Castle Road leads up to the castle.
## Demography
Population statistics were recorded separately for the parish of Halton until the village was incorporated into its larger neighbour under the Runcorn New Town (Designation) Order 1964.
The population of Halton Village in 1664 has been estimated as 375. In 1961, the parish had a population of 1,467.

: Population growth of Halton Village since 1801
## Today
The village is now entirely residential, surrounded to the west and north by the estates of Runcorn New Town. To the south is Halton Lea, a shopping mall, and other retail and entertainment outlets. To the east is Town Park. The castle is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled ancient monument, and there are a number of other listed buildings in the village. There are two public houses, the Castle Hotel, which is incorporated into the structure of the castle and which contains the former courthouse, and the Norton Arms. In the village are two active churches, the Anglican Church of St Mary and Trinity Methodist Church. The Village has a Millennium Green, one of a series of 245 charity-run public green spaces created at the turn of the millennium

# Marrakech Museum
The **Museum of Marrakech** is a historic palace and museum located in the old center of Marrakesh, Morocco. In addition to its notable architecture, the museum\'s collection showcases various historic art objects and contemporary art from Morocco.
## History
The museum is housed in the Dar Mnebhi Palace, constructed at the beginning of the 20th century by Mehdi al-Mnebhi. Al-Mnebhi was a *qaid* of the Mnabha tribe and the vizier (minister) of war under Sultan Moulay Abdelaziz, from 1900 to 1908, replacing Ba Ahmad as the sultan\'s favourite. Al-Mnebhi also had other residences such as the Mnebhi Palace in Fez. His Marrakesh palace was later seized by the family of Pasha Thami El Glaoui, the autocratic ruler of southern Morocco under French rule, while Mnebhi was out of the country and serving as ambassador in London. After Morocco regained its independence (1956), the palace was seized by the state and in 1965 it was converted to a girls\' school. After a period of neglect, the palace was carefully renovated by the Omar Benjelloun Foundation and converted into a museum in 1997.
## Architecture
The palace is an example of late 19th-century and early 20th-century Moroccan architecture, one of many such palaces built by wealthy elites during this period. The palace consists of a large central courtyard, which was originally an open riad garden planted with trees, but today is fully paved and roofed over. The courtyard is centered around several fountains and surrounded by roofed galleries and wall fountains, all decorated with colorful *zellij* tilework and painted and carved cedar wood. The courtyard today also contains a huge, central chandelier made up of brass pieces cut into ornate geometric and arabesque motifs. Various rooms branch off the courtyard, including chambers with more ornate wood and stucco decoration. The palace also had roof terraces with a *menzeh* (pavilion) that provided it with views over the rest of the city. It was also equipped with multiple facilities typical of large palaces, such as kitchens and a hammam (bathhouse) -- the latter being distinguished by its characteristic domed and vaulted chambers.

## Museum collection {#museum_collection}
The museum holds a diverse collection of traditional art objects from different regions of Morocco and different parts of its population, such as, weapons, carpets, costumes, pottery from Fez, Berber jewellery, Jewish liturgical objects, and more. The museum also holds exhibits of contemporary art and other themes in its kitchen and hammam sections, and sometimes hosts cultural events such as theatre and concerts.

## History
The first written mention of Kobeřice is from 1234, when the village was owned by the Hradisko Monastery in Olomouc. The document that mentioned Kobeřice in 1183 was a forgery from 1236.
From 1742 to 1918, after Empress Maria Theresa had been defeated, the village belonged to Prussia. In 1920, it became part of the newly established Czechoslovakia.
## Demographics

# Blake Garden (Kensington, California)
**Blake Garden** is a teaching facility for the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design in the hills of Kensington, California, a census-designated place of the East Bay region of the Bay Area in Northern California, approximately 4 mi north of the main University of California, Berkeley campus. It was originally designed by landscape architect Mabel Symmes for the estate owned by her sister and brother-in-law, Anita and Anson Blake; the trio lived in **Blake House**, a mansion on the estate designed by architect Walter Danforth Bliss and completed in 1924. The Blakes deeded the grounds to their alma mater, the University of California, in 1957, which took full control after Anita\'s death in 1962, implementing a redesign by Geraldine Knight Scott starting from 1964. Blake House served as the official residence of the President of the University of California from 1967 to 2008. Since 2009, Blake Garden has been open to the public on weekdays.
## History
### Blake family {#blake_family}
*In Berkeley (before Kensington).*
One of the original trustees of the University of California, Anson Gale Stiles, purchased land on Piedmont Avenue, east of the present-day Berkeley campus in the late 1860s. Anson\'s Piedmont house was completed in 1895. Anson ultimately left the property to his daughter, Harriet Waters Stiles (1840--1928). Additionally, two of Harriet\'s sons, Anson Stiles Blake (1870--1959) and Edwin Tyler Blake (1875--1949), would later build homes and gardens on this same property.
*In Kensington.*
When the Stiles/Blake family land on Piedmont was later purchased by the university in 1922 to build Memorial Stadium, the families relocated to a 45 acre site in Kensington, encompassing where Blake Garden is today. The site was owned by Harriet who divided the land evenly between her four children: Eliza; Robert; Edwin; and Anson.
Two of those children - Eliza Seely Blake Thatcher (1872--1944), and Robert Pierpont Blake (1886--1950) - lived outside the Bay Area and sold their shares to developers.
The two other siblings, Anson and Edwin Blake, built two homes on the property in the Kensington hills. Anson Blake\'s house was completed in 1925, and is also known as *La Casa Adelante.* Edwin Blake\'s house is also known as *Quinta de La Lilas.*
The widowed Harriet would live with Edwin, while Anson\'s sister-in-law, Mabel Symmes (1875--1962), would live with Anson and Anita (1872--1962), his wife and Mabel\'s sister. Anita and Mabel transplanted much of the Piedmont garden to the new Kensington site, taking four months and thirty truckloads to do so.
Anson Blake\'s house is now Blake Garden (see below). Over the next thirty years, the Symmes sisters would continue to collect botanical specimens and develop the site. A small colony of semi-feral cats kept the rodent population from eating the plants. From the start, the Blakes invited students from the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of California to the estate.
Edwin Blake\'s house is now a Carmelite Monastery, which is adjacent to Blake Garden.

## History
### University of California {#university_of_california}
The garden was deeded to the University of California in 1957 by Anson and Anita Blake, and Mai Arbegast was appointed acting director of Blake Garden, working closely with the family to identify and catalog the plant species that had been collected. Title on the site passed to the university upon the deaths of Anita Blake and her sister Mabel Symmes in 1962. Geraldine Knight Scott was appointed director of Blake Garden and began preparing the site for public visitation by clearing overgrown foliage and creating an influential *Long Range Development Plan* in 1964. For a \"brief and unsatisfactory\" time from 1962 to 1964, it was used as a women\'s graduate student dormitory. The remote location proved to be frightening at night and too distant, at approximately 4 mi north of the Berkeley campus.
The President of the University of California had traditionally lived in President\'s House, a residence on the Berkeley campus; when Clark Kerr was promoted from the Chancellor of Berkeley to UC president, he continued to live in his own private residence, and had President\'s House remodeled into University House to hold official events. University House would become the Berkeley chancellor\'s residence in 1965, when Roger W. Heyns moved into the house. In 1967, Charles Hitch succeeded Kerr as UC president and selected Blake House as his residence; it would continue to serve as the residence for the University of California president from 1967 to 2008. Hitch moved into the residence in April 1969, following a `{{USD|459000|1969|round=-3}}`{=mediawiki} refurbishment paid through private donations. Improvements were designed by the architects Ron and Myra Brocchini, and upgrades to the grounds were designed by Scott to increase security and privacy while maintaining public access, including the stucco wall and fencing east of Blake House. Hitch also paid a \"posessory interest\" tax equivalent to a property tax directly to Contra Costa County from his own pocket.
Russell Beatty succeeded Scott as the director of Blake Garden in 1967, implementing a new mission as an \"outdoor laboratory\" for student projects in landscape architecture. In addition, the Children\'s Adventure Garden and Playground was built in 1970, spearheaded by Walter Doty, and ran for three years, with children responsible for tending plants under the guidance of Berkeley students. Under Beatty, the Cut-Flower Garden was created in 1973 and a bouquet was delivered daily to the House.
Hitch\'s successor as UC President, David S. Saxon, lived in Blake House from 1975 to 1983. In 1983, the University of California helped incoming President David P. Gardner purchase a different home in Orinda, as Blake House was configured with only two bedrooms at the time and Gardner wanted more privacy. Nevertheless, Gardner used Blake House for official events and as an off-campus presidential office. In 2002, an inspection revealed cracks and water damage; Robert Dynes called it \"pretty much unlivable\" with a leaky roof, mold, and broken fixtures. Mark Yudof broke from tradition when he became UC President in 2008; as part of his vow to bring \"fiscal responsibility\" to the system, he chose to live in a rented house instead of spending the estimated US\$10 million in renovations and refurbishment for Blake House, although a few events continued to be held at Blake House. The chair of the Regents of the University of California, Russell Gould, described the mansion as having \"great bones, but it is a money pit.\" In 2013, incoming UC president Janet Napolitano rented a house in Oakland as her presidential residence; at the time, Blake House was called \"stately, but run-down\" and it was estimated that required renovations could cost up to US\$6 million, compared to the US\$100,000 annual cost of renting a suitable house.
The Seldon Williams House, a historic residence at 2821 Clairemont Blvd, designed by Julia Morgan and completed in 1928, was purchased for the UC president in 2021; according to a news release describing that acquisition, \"UC\'s former official presidential residence, Blake House in Kensington, has been uninhabitable for more than a decade because of extensive --- and cost-prohibitive --- deferred maintenance, in addition to significant seismic risks and landslide hazards. The university plans to sell this property at an appropriate time, with proceeds going to UC Berkeley\'s College of Environmental Design.\" The upper garden is crossed by the Hayward Fault, which runs through Kensington parallel to Arlington Avenue, and the site is part of an area considered \"highly susceptible to movement\" as a potential site of a future major earthquake.

## Design
### Blake House and Formal Garden {#blake_house_and_formal_garden}
<File:Blake> Garden 11.jpg\|Western facade of Blake House, from the Lower Lawn <File:Blake> Garden 3.jpg\|Eastern facade of Blake House <File:Blake> Garden 30.jpg\|*Formal Garden* and grotto with reflecting pool, east of Blake House <File:Blake> Garden CA.jpg\|Eastern facade and reflecting pool with magnolia trees
Blake House was a 27-room mansion designed in a Spanish style by Walter Danforth Bliss for Anson Blake and his wife Anita. Hitch called it \"the biggest three-bedroom house in the world\", as the first floor was used for formal receptions and official functions, while residential spaces were limited to the second floor. The 1967--68 remodel as the UC Presidential house left the building with 12434 ft2 of floor space, seven bathrooms, two kitchens, and three bedrooms. Blake Garden occupies a site with grades of up to 50%; the land east of Blake House, sited on the upper third, is relatively flat, while the land west of the House is much steeper. The grounds are divided into five \"garden rooms\": the *Formal Garden* east of the House; *Redwood Canyon* to the north of the House; the areas *West of the House*, including the Lower Lawn and Mediterranean Section; *Australian Hollow* south of the House, and the *Cut-Flower Garden* east of Australian Hollow, including a vegetable garden, the Cottage Garden, the Square Garden, greenhouses, and tool sheds used by the Blake Garden staff. In addition, there is an entrance area that connects the House with Rincon Road to the east. `{{Tilden Park map |side=left}}`{=mediawiki}
The siting of Blake House is integral to the garden\'s design: it shelters the *Formal Garden* from the strong prevailing winds off the Golden Gate. The grounds for both estates were designed by Mrs. Blake\'s sister, Mabel Symmes, who graduated from the university\'s Landscape Architecture Department in 1914. Ms. Symmes\' original plan showed great sensitivity to the site. Much of her original plan can still be seen in the design of the *Formal Gardens* east of the house, with its grotto, inspired by the Villa Tusculana at Frascati, Italy and the reflecting pool which was part of a system to take advantage of underground water. The koi that live in the pool are named for Blake family members.
The garden is home to nearly 1500 plant species, over fifty bird species, as well as raccoons, frogs, salamanders, and the occasional fox. The garden is all organic, with many sustainable practices including four kinds of composting, rainwater harvesting, and hives of honeybees. Decorations in the Garden include several sculptures with Asian themes, such as the glazed pagoda, which were purchased and installed originally by Anita Blake. `{{clear left}}`{=mediawiki}

## Design
### Outdoor garden rooms in Blake Garden {#outdoor_garden_rooms_in_blake_garden}
<File:Blake> Garden 37.jpg\|*Redwood Canyon* and creek <File:Blake> Garden 1283 (6130050657).jpg\|Disconnected stone bridge over the *Redwood Canyon* stream <File:Blake> Garden 19.jpg\|View west to the Golden Gate Bridge <File:Blake> Garden 42.jpg\|Garrett Eckbo pergola in the *Mediterranean Garden* <File:Blake> Garden 18.jpg\|Blackberry brush tunnel in *Australian Hollow*
There are two streams on-site, draining the north and south edges; both were stabilized with vegetation during construction. The *Redwood Canyon*, with redwood cuttings brought from the Blakes\' properties in Berkeley and St. Helena, is planted along a natural waterway. It also divides the property from the adjacent Carmelite Monastery. In Symmes\' original design, the adjoining Edwin Blake garden was designed to be a contiguous extension of the Anson and Anita Blake property; the Carmelites later built a fence north of the canyon, disconnecting a stone bridge that spans the stream. Most of the plants here are shade-tolerant.
Plantings on the steep slope west of the house include the *Mediterranean Garden*, a showcase of drought-tolerant plants from the world\'s Mediterranean climates in diamond-shaped beds linked by switchback paths leading to a lookout over the Bay on the property\'s western edge, near a large lawsonite rock outcropping and a picnic shelter reconstructed by Professor Garrett Eckbo.
The original plan also shows a lake in the *Australian Hollow*, the southwestern corner of the property, taking advantage of the high water table in that part of the garden. In 2010 this area was restored to a native wetland by UC students, volunteers and Blake Garden staff. The wetland now provides habitat to a community of Pacific chorus frogs and area birds. This area is distinguished by a thornless blackberry brush tunnel.
South of Blake House, Anita Blake and Mabel Symmes had planned and built a formal, symmetric *Rose Garden* surrounding a square pool. This is now the *Square Garden*, retaining the water lily-filled pond, but with flower beds brimming with low-water perennials instead of roses. The area southeast of the House has been developed as the *Cut Flower Garden*, including the *Cottage Garden*, which has roses, flowers for cutting, vegetables and herbs and the *Event Lawn* and surrounding beds, another example of water-smart gardening. Additionally, the *Create with Nature Zone* offers a space for visitors of all ages to experiment and build with materials collected from the garden.

# 2003 SEA Games
The **2003 Southeast Asian Games** (*Đại hội Thể thao Đông Nam Á 2003*), officially known as the **22nd Southeast Asian Games**, **SEA Games 22** and also known as **Vietnam 2003**, were a Southeast Asian multi-sport event held from 5 to 13 December 2003 in Hanoi, Vietnam. This was the first time that Vietnam had staged the SEA Games, and it saw East Timor, which had just gained independence in 2002; although not being an ASEAN member and despite its geographical location closer to the Pacific archipelago than the Asian continent, making its debut at the games.
The games was held from 5 to 13 December 2003, although several events had commenced from 29 November 2003. Around 5,000 athletes from 11 participating nations participated at the games, which featured 442 events in 32 sports. Vietnam is the eighth nation to host the Southeast Asian Games after Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Brunei. The games was opened by Phan Văn Khải, the Prime Minister of Vietnam at the newly constructed Mỹ Đình National Stadium and was closed by Pham Gia Khiem, the Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam.
The final medal tally was led by host Vietnam, followed by Thailand and Indonesia. A number of records in Games and National level were broken during this edition. The games were deemed generally successful with the rising standard of competition amongst the participating nations.
## Organisation
### Development and preparation {#development_and_preparation}
The 22nd SEA Games organising committee was formed to oversee the staging of the games with Nguyen Danh Thai as its chairman. The Vietnamese government was spending a lot of money upgrading sports facilities and building new ones, including the 40,000-seat Mỹ Đình National Stadium which is the biggest stadium in the country, spending about 60 million to US\$70 million for its construction.
### Venues
The 2003 Southeast Asian Games used a mix of new, existing and temporary venues with the centrepiece of the activities being the Mỹ Đình Sports Complex which was opened in September 2003. Incorporating the new 40,192-seat national stadium, it hosted most of the events.
A games village was not built. Instead, a \"village in the city\" concept saw athletes and officials housed in hotels in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Besides being physically near to the sport venues, it was hoped that they will add vibe to both cities and reduce post-games costs in converting a dedicated games village to other uses.
The **22nd Southeast Asian Games** had 31 venues for the games, 20 in Hanoi (and surrounding provinces) and 11 in Ho Chi Minh City. {{-}}

# WJFF
**WJFF** (90.5 FM) is a non-commercial, listener-supported public radio station licensed to Jeffersonville, New York and serving the Catskill Mountains of New York and Northeast Pennsylvania.
WJFF has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 3,200 watts. The transmitter is approximately two miles west of Liberty, New York, off Old Loomis Road.
## History
In January 1988, Radio Catskill, Inc., received a construction permit for WJFF. The radio station\'s studio building was built on the north side of the Jefferson Lake dam.

# Mary (Nabokov novel)
***Mary*** (*Машенька*, Mašen\'ka) is the first novel by Vladimir Nabokov, first published under the pen name V. Sirin in 1926 by Russian-language publisher \"Slovo\".
## Plot summary {#plot_summary}
*Mary* is the story of Lev Glebovich Ganin, a Russian émigré and former White Guard Officer displaced by the Russian Revolution. Ganin is now living in a boarding house in Berlin, along with a young Russian girl, Klara, an old Russian poet, Podtyagin, his landlady, Lydia Nikolaevna Dorn and his neighbour, Aleksey Ivanovich Alfyorov, whom he meets in a dark, broken-down elevator at the beginning of the novel. Through a series of conversations with Alfyorov and a photograph, Ganin discovers that his long-lost first love, Mary, is now the wife of his rather unappealing neighbour, and that she will be joining him soon. As Ganin realizes this, he ends his relationship with his current girlfriend, Lyudmila, and begins to be consumed by his memories of his time in Russia with Mary, which Ganin notes were \"perhaps the happiest days of his life\". Enthralled by his vision of Mary and unable to let Alfyorov have her, Ganin contrives to reunite with Mary, who he believes still loves him.
Eventually, Ganin claims that he will leave Berlin the night before Mary is to arrive and his fellow residents throw a party for him the night before. Ganin steadily plies Alfyorov with alcohol, heavily intoxicating him. Just before Alfyorov falls into his drunken sleep, he asks Ganin to set his alarm clock for half past seven, as Alfyorov intends to pick up Mary at the train station the next morning. The infatuated Ganin instead sets the clock for eleven and plans to meet Mary at the train station himself. However, as he leaves the house, he has a moment of clarity. \"The world of memories in which Ganin had dwelt became what it was in reality: the distant past\... Other than that image no Mary existed, nor could exist.\" Instead of meeting Mary, Ganin decides to board a train to France.
A secondary, minor plot concerns an old Russian poet, Anton Sergeyevich Podtyagin, who appears to be an older version of Ganin. He frequently expresses that his life dedicated to poetry has been a waste. Podtyagin desires to eventually leave Berlin and arrive in Paris, but fails to do so on several occasions due to a series of unfortunate events (i.e. loses passport).
## Characters in *Mary* {#characters_in_mary}
**Lev Glebovich Ganin** -- The protagonist of the novel; a young displaced Russian writer in Berlin who is unable to forget Mary, his first love.
**Aleksey Ivanovich Alfyorov** -- The husband of Mary and the neighbour of Ganin.
**Lydia Nikolaevna Dorn** -- The landlady of Ganin. An old Russian woman who inherited the boarding house after her German husband died.
**Lyudmila Borisovna Rubanski** -- Ganin\'s girlfriend in the opening chapters of the novel.
**Klara** -- A young Russian girl living in the same building as Ganin. She harbors an intense attraction to him.
**Anton Sergeyevich Podtyagin** -- An old Russian poet who desires to leave Berlin for Paris, but fails to do so. Reappears briefly in *The Gift*.
**Mary Alfyorov** -- The eponymous character and Ganin\'s first love. Mary never appears in the present of the novel, but only in Ganin\'s memories.
**Kolin and Gornotsvetov** -- Ballet dancers, also living at Lydia\'s boarding house.
**Erika** -- Maid (her name is mentioned in chapter 2, clearing way the plates, and in chapter 7, delivering a letter to Ganin).
**Russian doctor** -- Unnamed physician called on to see Podtyagin (chapter 16).
## Background
*Mary* was first written and published in the mid-1920s during Nabokov\'s stay in Berlin. Nabokov\'s (or \"Sirin\'s\", as he was known at the time) first novel contains, as many of his works do, key autobiographical elements. According to Brian Boyd, the character Mary Alfyorov is based on Nabokov\'s first love, Valentina (Lyussya) Evgenievna Shulgin, a fifteen-year-old Russian girl he met in 1915 at a pavilion in the estate of Vyra, at the age of sixteen. Nabokov\'s time with Lyussya is recorded in the final chapter of his autobiography, *Speak, Memory* where she is given the pseudonym \"Tamara\". Nabokov confirms this connection himself in the foreword to the English edition, where he writes that \"Mary is a twin sister of my Tamara\". Like Ganin, Nabokov was separated from Tamara by the Russian Revolution and forced into Berlin as an émigré.

# Mary (Nabokov novel)
## Reception
The novel was initially well-received in the 1920s for its inventive structure and vivid descriptions of pre-Revolutionary Russia. Among contemporary critics however, it is generally viewed as an early, relatively juvenile work of Nabokov, written at a time before he came into his own as an author. Nabokov himself seemed to share the same opinion, at least on a technical level, as he notes its \"flaws, the artifacts of innocence and inexperience\". Furthermore, Nabokov\'s decision to translate and publish *Mary* in English last out of all his Russian novels perhaps is an indication of his opinion on its quality (the Russian works which he held in most esteem, such as *Invitation to a Beheading* and *The Defense*, were translated and published into English decades earlier). Yet the author seemed to also have a softer side for his first novel, \"confessing to the sentimental stab of \[his\] attachment\" to it.
### Analysis
In *Mary*, Nabokov explores many of the metaphysical ideas of French philosopher Henri Bergson and investigates the nature of the relationships between time, memory and consciousness, as noticed by scholars like Boyd and Eric Laursen.
Furthermore, the issue of solipsism, which, according to Alfred Appel, is \"a central concern\" in Nabokov\'s oeuvre, is prominently featured in *Mary*, as Ganin struggles with the self-created image of his first love. As Leona Toker remarks, \"the romance which started solipsistically in the imagination \[ends\], no less solipsistically\".
## Film adaptation {#film_adaptation}
A film adaptation, titled *Maschenka* after the original Russian title, was released in 1987. The film, directed by John Goldschmidt with screenplay by John Mortimer, starred Cary Elwes as Ganin and Irina Brook as Maschenka. John Goldschmidt won the Cine De Luca Award for directing \'Maschenka\" at the Monte Carlo TV Festival.

### English translation and authorial changes {#english_translation_and_authorial_changes}
The novel first appeared in English in 1970 in a translation by Michael Glenny \"in collaboration with the author.\" According to Nabokov, \"I realized as soon as \[we\] started that our translation should be as faithful to the text as I would have insisted on its being had that text not been mine.\" He further stated that \"The only adjustments I deemed necessary are limited to brief utilitarian phrases in three or four pages alluding to routine Russian matters \...\[and\] the switch of seasonal dates in Ganin\'s Julian Calendar to those of the Gregorian style in general use

# International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts
The **International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts (IABPA)** was formed as a professional organization on November 18, 1983 at the Hilton Hotel in Corning, NY under the guidance of Herbert MacDonell. A group of bloodstain analysts recognized the need for a coordinated effort to develop themselves and the emerging field of bloodstain pattern analysis. Of the 23 people present at the meeting moderated by Deborah J. Wakida, 22 became Charter Members. Only Douglas Ridolfi of the Los Angeles County Sheriff\'s Department declined to join.
In the early 1980s Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) was beginning to make its way into the investigative toolbox of many North American forensic sections. As any new method of gathering and interpreting forensic evidence, there was some apprehension in many areas of the legal system. When the IABPA bylaws were formed, one of the main objectives of the association was identified as *promoting the education of all involved with bloodstain pattern analysis*. This was to be done through study, research, and experimentation. There was also an identified need for standardization in the areas of training, analysis, terminology, and reporting.
The IABPA meets annually in October, moving the location between Regions I to IV (see below).

# Influences on Francis Bacon
`{{EngvarB|date=October 2013}}`{=mediawiki} `{{Use dmy dates|date=February 2025}}`{=mediawiki}
The painter **Francis Bacon** was largely self-taught as an artist. As well as other visual artists, Bacon drew inspiration from the poems of T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and Yeats, the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Shakespeare; Proust and Joyce\'s *Ulysses*.
## Influences
- Pablo Picasso, in particular the biomorphic figures in Picasso\'s paintings of bathers at Dinard of 1927--32.
- Nicolas Poussin\'s *The Massacre of the Innocents Iof 1628-29. \"I think probably the best human cry in painting was made by Poussin \[\...\] which is at Chantilly. And I remember I was once with a family for about three months living very near there, trying to learn French, and I went a great deal to Chantilly and I remember this picture always made a terrific impression on me.*
- Diego Velázquez\'s portrait of Pope Innocent X (1649--50). \"that Velázquez is one of the great paintings of the world, of course -- well, I was very obsessed with that Velázquez and, of course, I made a great mistake...\". Bacon painted several versions, of which *Figure with Meat* (1954) is an atypically Grand Guignol example. Though he visited Rome, where the painting is on display at the Doria Pamphilj Gallery, Bacon never saw the original Velázquez.
- Vincent van Gogh; Bacon painted several variations of van Gogh\'s *The Painter on the Road to Tarascon* in the late 1950s.
- Rembrandt *Self-portrait* (Musée Granet, Aix-en-Provence)
- Chaïm Soutine Céret period (1919--1923), *Carcass of Beef* (1926) (Minneapolis)
- John Constable -- the full size oil-sketch for *The Leaping Horse* at the V&A.
- Titian *Portrait of Cardinal Filippo Archinto* (c.1551--1562)
- Francisco Goya\'s *Black Paintings*, although Bacon saw a meanness of spirit in Goya\'s work that he believed removed him from the front rank of great painters.
- Michelangelo\'s drawings
- Henri Matisse\'s *Bathers by a River* (1909--16)
- Pharonic Egyptian sculpture of the Eighteenth dynasty, from the rule of Amenophis III and Amenophis IV especially.
- Masaccio *Trinity* c.1424--1428 Santa Maria Novella---Bacon greatly admired Masaccio and similarities between the composition of *Trinity* and *Painting* (1946) have been noted by critics.
- Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres *Oedipus and the Sphinx* (1826--1827), *Le Bain Turc* (1859--1863)
- Edgar Degas *After the Bath, Woman drying herself* (1888--1892), *Beach Scene* (1868--1877)---Both in the collection of the National Gallery, London
- Walter Sickert *Granby Street* (1912--1913)
- Henri Michaux *Untitled* (1962)
- Pierre Bonnard
- Georges-Pierre Seurat
- Cimabue \"You know the great Cimabue *Crucifixion*? I always think of that as an image -- as a worm crawling down the cross.\"
- Alberto Giacometti\'s drawings
- Matthias Grünewald\'s *Isenheim Altarpiece*
- Julia Margaret Cameron
- Étienne-Jules Marey
- Eadweard Muybridge \"My principal source of visual information is Muybridge, the 19th-century photographer who photographed human and animal movement. His work is unbelievably precise. He created a visual dictionary of movement, a living dictionary.\"
- Nadar
- John Deakin. Regular at the Colony Room Club and noted photographer who took portraits of Bacons friends on which many of his 1960s paintings were based.Peppiatt, Michael (1996). *Francis Bacon: Anatomy of an Enigma*. London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson `{{ISBN|0-297-81616-0}}`{=mediawiki}

```
- Luis Buñuel. \"I\'ve been very influenced by the films of Buñuel, especially *Un chien andalou* because I think that Buñuel had a remarkable precision of imagery. I can\'t say how they have directly affected me but they certainly have affected my whole attitude to visual things -- in the acuteness of the visual image which you\'ve got to make.\"
- Sergei Eisenstein. *Strike* (Стачка, 1925) and *The Battleship Potemkin* (Броненосец „Потёмкин", 1925). Often reproduced the scream of the nurse from the Odessa Steps scene

# My Life as a Man
***My Life as a Man*** (1974) is American writer Philip Roth\'s seventh novel.
## Summary
The work is split into two sections: the first section, \"Useful Fictions,\" consisting of two short stories, titled \"Salad Days\" and \"Courting Disaster (or \"Serious in the Fifties\"), about a character named Nathan Zuckerman, and the second section, \"My True Story,\" which takes the form of a first-person memoir by Peter Tarnopol, a Jewish writer who authored the two stories in the first section.
## Themes
*My Life as a Man* is the first of Roth\'s work that tackles the issue of the writer\'s relationship to his work, a theme he would develop in subsequent novels, particularly *Operation Shylock*. In his autobiography, Roth reveals that much of Tarnopol\'s life is based on his own experiences; for example, Roth\'s destructive marriage to Margaret Martinson, which is portrayed through Tarnopol\'s relationship with the character of Maureen.
## Reception
In *The New York Times* Book Review, critic Morris Dickstein compared the novel to its predecessor *Portnoy\'s Complaint*:
> No writer, not even Mailer or Lowell, has contributed more to the confessional climate than Philip Roth. Thanks to \"Portnoy\'s Complaint\" a good slice of contemporary fiction seems to come verbatim from the writer\'s own hours on the couch. This would be a dubious distinction had Roth\'s book not also boldly altered the tone of our confessional writing, most of which had been lugubrious and realistic, smothered in angst and high-seriousness. Reaching back instead to the raunchy, delirious autobiographical manner of Henry Miller and Céline\--indeed, perpetuating an unseemly imitation of the latter\'s great \"Death on the Installment Plan\"\--Roth pitched his anguish in such a low comic strain that the effect was irresistible. If there has been a funnier novel in the last 10 years, or one that exploits sex, psychoanalysis, and the \"family romance\" more brilliantly, I don\'t know what it could be.
>
> \...Like Rousseau\'s \"Confessions\" and its modern progeny, \"My Life as a Man\" is reckless in inviting us to review the man rather than the writer: that\'s part of its appeal. To get the story out Roth is willing to look not only ignoble and self-centered, but also foolish, helpless, even a little ugly (as in Peter\'s final satisfaction at his wife\'s death). But if the personal-confessional mode highlights Roth\'s limitations it also returns him to the day-to-day carnival of human folly that he can describe so ringingly, so comically, even as it goes on tormenting him

The first written mention of Sudice is from 1327, when it was part of the Duchy of Troppau and Duke Nicholas II sold Sudice to the Dominican monastery seated in nearby Racibórz. In the 14th century, a fortress was built.
In the first half of the 16th century, Sudice was promoted to a market town and divided into two parts. In 1557 Sudice was bought by the Oderský of Lidéřov family and reunited the two parts. The fortress was replaced by a Baroque castle in the second half of the 17th century. However, the Henneberk family, who were the next owners of Sudice, had the castle demolished in 1786.
From 1938 to 1945, the municipality was annexed by Nazi Germany. After World War II, the German population was expelled.

# Stone Soup (comic strip)
***Stone Soup*** is an American newspaper comic strip. It was created by cartoonist Jan Eliot as *Sister City*, and was renamed after being syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate in 1995. The strip originally ran daily until 2015, when it switched to Sunday strips only before ending in 2020. The strip centers on a single mother named Valerie Stone, and her struggles to raise her daughters Alix and Holly.
## Publication history {#publication_history}
The comic strip was created by Jan Eliot. It began as a weekly in 1990, and ran for five years in the Eugene, Oregon *Register-Guard* under the name *Sister City* before being syndicated. The syndicated daily strip debuted in November 1995.
*Stone Soup* featured as a daily strip for 20 years until October 2015, when Eliot decided she no longer wanted to draw a daily comic, to devote more time to travel, socialize and focus on other creative projects. She continued to create a Sunday cartoon strip.
The Stone family features a family headed by single mother Val, an uncommon contrast with the ordinary nuclear family depicted in more traditional strips. As the author explained,
: When I write I am writing first and foremost for single and working parents. I often felt very isolated and \"put down\" because of my circumstances (I was a single working mom for 10 years). I even had a teacher tell me that their school \"was a better place before all the single moms arrived\". My daughters both turned out fabulously, thank you, and I think I was a good parent.
It is common for strip storylines to consist of household arguments that are not resolved. Unlike many strips, the characters do age, but at a very slow rate. Val has celebrated her 38th and 39th birthdays in the strip; Alix and Holly were 9 and 12 when the strip began, and are now 10 and 13.
On 15 June 2020, Jan Eliot announced her retirement and that *Stone Soup* would end on 26 July 2020.
## Symbology
The strip was named for the folk tale about Stone Soup, with the focus that good things can be created with small contributions from many sources.

## Characters
### Main characters {#main_characters}
Sisters Valerie (Val) and Joan live across the fence from each other.
- **Valerie (Val) Stone** is a 39-year-old widow, at the start of the strip, with two young daughters. Her previous husband, Tom, died of an undisclosed illness when Alix was very young and Holly was around five years old. She has a professional job which allows her to help support her mother and, in the early years, her sister Joan. On the job, she is openly disconcerted by her co-workers\' political machinations. Her home life, however, is the greater source of aggravation, especially when dealing with the antics of her daughters. She loves women\'s sports. In July 2015, she married motorcycle police officer Phil Jackson.
- **Holly Stone** is Val\'s 13-year-old daughter, prone to vanity, entitlement, and getting into fights with her younger sister Alix. She is the stereotypical teenager, viewing her family as \"abnormal.\" She rarely passes up an opportunity to challenge her mother (she taught Alix to say \'Muhhhtherr\') and sees almost everything in terms of herself (\"In what universe is tuna noodle surprise a reward?\"). She loves dressing in revealing or provocative clothes, but she is a feminist at heart and enjoys playing basketball.
- **Alix Stone** is Val\'s 10-year-old daughter, a blissfully naive (and pugnacious) tomboy mystified by her sister\'s histrionics, but often easily influenced by her illogical and lazy behavior (like wearing flip-flops in the November cold). She still has the innocence of youth but Holly tries to teach her cynicism and sarcasm. Val considers her the model of calm and reason among the chaos, almost all of which comes from Holly (\"I dress like someone who values freedom and mobility over style\").
- **\"Gramma\" Evie Stone** travels the world with her husband Arnold. She visits the family occasionally, and Skypes often. She lived with her daughter Val and granddaughters from the inception of the strip, until 2009. She comes across as crotchety and overly stern with her family, but cuts loose in Reno or when painting. She has no patience for modern parenting methods and rarely passes up the chance to express her views on anything. The kids regard her as a mixed blessing, especially since underneath it all she can often be a barrel of fun. Her cooking is generally much better received than Val\'s. In 2006, she went abroad to Uganda to build houses for an aid organization. It was revealed in a strip that she had gotten a tattoo of a butterfly on her shoulder sometimes in her 60s, much to the dismay of Val and Joan. On November 27, 2009, she went to Thailand to work with Habitat for Humanity where she met her now-husband Arnold, with whom she travels the world on humanitarian voyages. Her daughters worry about her. On 1 July 2010, she told Val she was coming home for the summer as she (Val) could use the help with the girls. On 14 July 2010, she arrived at a very joyous family reunion with her oldest and the grandkids. In the summer of 2014, Evie married Arnold while visiting him in South Africa. She continues to be a part of her family\'s lives through video chat.
- **Joan Stone** is 36 years old, rarely seen without her glasses on. She is Val\'s younger sister. At the start of the strip, Joan was an unemployed single mother and dependent on Val. Her son\'s father was Leon, called \"Uncle Leon\" by Alix. Joan begins a self-employed freelance copywriting remote work business. Joan took back her maiden name after her divorce, and kept it when she married Wally in strips that ran on Oct 14-15, 2000.
- **Wally Weinstein**, introduced in 1995, is Val\'s down-to-earth next-door neighbor. Wally married Joan in 2000 after a long engagement. A balding and bespectacled insurance salesman, he can cook, loves being a dad, and is handy with tools. He thinks hot chocolate and donuts are a panacea.
- **Andy Gilburt** is Wally\'s 16-year-old nephew, who doesn\'t think too highly of rules but has no qualms about playing hard rock music at earsplitting levels. Andy moved in with Wally during Wally and Joan\'s engagement. He has endeared himself to Holly in countless ways. Recently his parents decided to divorce and Andy chose to live permanently with Wally and Joan.
- **Max Krabowsky** is 3 years old. He is the preschool-aged son of Joan from her first marriage, and Wally\'s stepson. Max has two stock emotions: thrilled with life or utterly miserable. He worships action figures, as evidenced by his sudden comprehension of potty training simply by wearing superhero underwear (much to Joan\'s dismay).
- **Luci Stone Weinstein**, Wally and Joan\'s daughter, and Max\'s younger half-sister, was born in strips that ran on July 6--8, 2007 (although her birth certificate stated that she was born on July 8, at 1:30 AM, weighing 9 lbs., 8 oz.) after a pregnancy storyline that began in October 2006.
- **Phil Jackson**, Val\'s new husband, was introduced in the book *Stone Soup The Comic Strip*. He is a motorcycle police officer, and the campus cop at Holly\'s school. He fears the world is becoming too hurried for his liking. He was Val\'s on-and-off boyfriend, breaking up when he \"freaked out\" about dating someone with children. In strips collected in the \"Desperate Households\" book (2007) they are reunited. In December 2014, Phil asked Val to marry him and she agreed. Val and Phil married in July 2015. Early on his complexion was slightly darker than Val\'s, and at one point was referred to as \"white\" by Alix. However, over time his skin tone became darker until he was almost certainly African American. His aunt, Junie Ferguson, lives just down the street from Val. Per her, the family\'s background is \"African, Portuguese and Irish. My nephew came out looking more Portuguese; I came out more African.\" Junie seems to be a good friend of Val\'s mom, Evie.

## Characters
### Recurring characters {#recurring_characters}
- **Norton Dickerson** is Val\'s coworker and adversary. He is the stereotypical \"suck-up\" in the office. When he\'s not brownnosing the boss, he tries to impress Val with tales of entertaining their boss on his (Dickerson\'s) boat. In strips collected in the 2007 \"Desperate Households\" book, Dickerson is laid off as was Val, but she gets re-hired after the company starts to spiral downward. Dickerson has yet to return. Everyone thinks he has a thing for Val, though she doesn\'t really believe it. Dickerson apparently lives with his mother.
- **Rena** is Val\'s office buddy and confidante. Working with Val reminds Rena to enjoy being single and childless. When it comes to cooking, she doesn\'t think outside the box (\"make?\").
- **Leon Krabowsky** is Joan\'s first husband and Max\'s biological father. He went out for milk one night and ended up in the Virgin Islands. Leon and Joan are divorced when the strip begins, but he occasionally drops by to mooch.
- **Susan** is the neighborhood vet who also coaches the girls\' basketball team. She once dated Wally but they broke up when he found out that she didn\'t want kids and he did. Sometimes while Val and Phil weren\'t together, she and Phil dated (this was never seen in the books).
- **Biscuit** is the apple of Max\'s eye, but to everyone else, a \"yappy little mutt\". Officially Holly and Alix\'s dog is found as a stray, the girls bring her home and promise to take care of the little pup - originally named \"Lily\" but the family decided on \"Biscuit\" since she seems to answer to the name. Val provides care and Max provides adoration. Biscuit has a thing for Val\'s bunny slippers. During Biscuit\'s first visit to Susan the vet, it is revealed that Biscuit is female.
#### Val\'s book club {#vals_book_club}
Val belongs to a book club with an assortment of characters from other strips, including Elly from *For Better or For Worse*, Alice from *Dilbert*, Rose/Vicki the biker chick from *Rose Is Rose*, and Connie Duncan, the mom from *Zits*. *Cathy* was mentioned, but \"couldn\'t come till she found the right man and lost 10 pounds.\" The book club also threw a baby shower for Joan, which takes place in the book *There\'s No \"WE\" in Crowning* (published in 2007). This is a short collection that takes the reader from the first onset of Joan\'s pregnancy till the birth of Luci by a midwife at home. Strips featuring the book club have appeared on at least three occasions and are republished in the 2005 trade paperback collection. (See below.)

## Characters
### Commemorative strip, September 11, 2011 {#commemorative_strip_september_11_2011}
Along with 92 other cartoon strips, Eliot was invited to commemorate 9/11 in her daily cartoon in 2011, the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
### Political plotline, April 2012 {#political_plotline_april_2012}
In general, the cartoon strip has more of a domestic, than political focus. However, in April 2012, *Stone Soup* had a two-week plotline which featured support for universal health care, criticism of U.S. Policy in the Middle East, and made an unflattering remark about Dick Cheney. Eliot\'s goal was to encourage political participation and to spark discussion and debate, regardless of anyone\'s ideology. Some papers such as the *Daily Herald* received both complaints that the politicized or \"biased\" content should be on the Opinions or Editorial page, contrasted with compliments that Eliot had captured how the majority of women feel about America\'s politicians, politics and government

# Acacia coriacea
***Acacia coriacea***, commonly known as **river jam**, **wirewood**, **desert oak**, **wiry wattle** or **dogwood**, is a tree in the family Mimosoideae of family Fabaceae. Indigenous Australians know the plant as **Gunandru**.
## Description
River jam grows to a height of about eight metres. It usually has just one or two main trunks. Like most *Acacia* species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. These are thick and leathery, between 20 and 30 cm long, and narrow. The flowers are yellow, and held in spherical clusters about 5 mm in diameter. The pods are usually curled up, but are around 20 cm long when straightened. They are greatly constricted between the seeds. Indigenous Australians used the seeds of the plant as a food source.
## Distribution
*Acacia coriacea* occurs throughout northern Australia, growing as a tall tree on the banks of rivers. It can also occur as a spreading, low tree behind coastal dunes and on \'spinifex\' plains.
## Common name issues {#common_name_issues}
In some parts of *A. coriacea*\'s range the common name \'desert oak\' is prevalent, but throughout the larger part of that range this name is often applied to another tree, Allocasuarina decaisneana.
The name \'dogwood\' is used for numerous plant species in Australia and elsewhere, see Dogwood (disambiguation).
## Varieties
There are three subspecies.
: *Acacia coriacea* subsp. *coriacea*
: *Acacia coriacea* subsp. *pendens*
: *Acacia coriacea* subsp. *sericophylla*
- *Acacia coriacea* var. *coriacea* is a synonym for *Acacia coriacea* subsp. *coriacea*

# Palestinian National Initiative
**Palestinian National Initiative** (**PNI**; *المبادرة الوطنية الفلسطينية* *al-Mubādara al-Waṭaniyya al-Filasṭīniyya*) is a Palestinian political party led by Mustafa Barghouti.
Its formation was formally announced on 17 June 2002 in Ramallah on the West Bank, part of the Palestinian Territories, by Haidar Abdel-Shafi, Mustafa Barghouthi and Ibrahim Dakkak. The PNI views itself as a \"democratic third force\" in Palestinian politics and opposes the dichotomy between Fatah (which it views as corrupt and undemocratic) and Hamas (which it views as extremist and fundamentalist).
## Principles
**The platform of the PNI states:**
\"*Only through the establishment of a sovereign, independent, viable and democratic Palestinian state on all of the territories occupied by Israel in 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, can a just peace be achieved.*
*The Initiative calls for the implementation of relevant United Nations resolutions requiring the withdrawal of the Israeli army from the West Bank and Gaza and safeguarding the internationally recognized right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland.*\"
The PNI defines this as collective Palestinian goals but sees as its own role to democratize and unite the Palestinian movement, with the focus on the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). It has campaigned extensively for democratic reform within the PNA and advocates a national emergency government encompassing all factions (including the islamist Hamas) as a means of stopping autocracy and lawlessness in Palestinian politics. This is in part motivated by the desire for democracy and in part by the inefficiency and self-destructive tendencies of the Palestinian factional system.
The PNI demands the proclamation of a single political direction, to be determined democratically, and a single policy for achieving these goals. The PNI itself believes that the methods used should be based on a reversion of what it refers to as the \"militarization\" of the intifada and a continued struggle by peaceful means. It has no armed wing and does not use nor advocate violence, although it states that it supports in principle a right of resistance to occupation.
## Supporter base and leaders {#supporter_base_and_leaders}
The PNI is dominated by secular intellectuals, some of them former members of the far-left Palestinian People\'s Party. It is strongly based in civil society organizations and NGOs operating in the Palestinian Territories and has extensive connections with foreign aid and support groups. Its lack of a role within the PLO and in the PNA has greatly reduced its visibility to ordinary Palestinians.
The PNI has gained some support among Palestinian exiles, most notably the late Edward Said, but is extremely weak or non-existent in the main refugee communities in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
The Initiative is led by a General Secretary, with Mustafa Barghouti occupying that post since its founding.
