60823071	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%20Beauchamp%20%28sailor%29	George Beauchamp (sailor)	George William Beauchamp (9 March 1888 – 5 April 1965) was a British sailor and Titanic survivor. On the ship, he worked as a stoker and was rescued in Boat #13 (ordered on board by an officer to handle an oar), which launched from the vessel at 1:40 am, shortly before the sinking. Life He was born in Totton, England, UK, in March 1888, the son of George Beauchamp and Maria Jane Walton. He had five siblings. Titanic On the Titanic he was paid £6 a month. He later recalled that the water was up to his feet. Beauchamp ran topside and positioned on the starboard deck. Beauchamp's boat was later rescued by the Carpathia around 6.30 am. He said at the British inquiry after the collision, the watertight doors and dampers began to block and that an order came to "stop" (it all). He testified that as a stoker, he was given the order to draw fires in the boilers (the fires that normally kept the ship's steam machinery running). After drawing the fires, he was relieved and escaped using a ladder. He later recalled helping ladies and children into the boats before receiving the order to board lifeboat #13. He said around 60 to 70 people were on board, including many men. He also said the boat had no lantern. British inquiry Beauchamp gave evidence at the British Wreck Commissioner's inquiry before counsel Raymond Asquith, where he responded to questions with blunt responses. Excerpts: "I went ... on to the boat deck and across to the starboard side, I had one foot on the deck and one on the lifeboat and I was helping ladies and children into the lifeboat. We had difficulty keeping the lifeboat away from the ship's side and prevent[ing] water coming in." "We pulled on the oars to get away as far as possible from the suction of the ship as it went down. I saw the ship go down bow first and I could still see the stern and then that went too. It was a roar like thunder as it went down and I heard cries as the ship sank." "We would have gone back for others but we were full up." Lusitania Despite dealing with the Titanic tragedy, George Beauchamp later worked as a stoker on the Lusitania when it sank on May 7, 1915, after it was torpedoed by German U-boat SM U-20. Later life George Beauchamp continued to work at sea into the 1920s and beyond. He later served on Cape Mail boats for the Union Line as a fireman. Later in life, Beauchamp became a docker in Southampton. He became friends with Bertram Vere Dean, who was the brother of the last Titanic survivor, Millvina Dean. Death Beauchamp died in April of 1965 at the age of 77.

14241382	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man%20with%20a%20Plan%20%28film%29	Man with a Plan (film)	Man With A Plan is an independently produced satire released in 1996, starring dairy farmer and actor Fred Tuttle as himself in a fictional story that finds him running for the U.S. House of Representatives. Since its release, it has remained a local cult classic in Vermont. Many details of the film can be read as poking fun at certain public figures and groups in Vermont; for example, Fred describes himself as being affiliated with the "Regressive Party," a clear reference to the Vermont Progressive Party. The fictional incumbent Representative William Blachly also bears a definite resemblance to Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy. Parts of the film also satirizes American politics in ways that the voice-over narration makes explicit—for example, it is made very clear at the beginning of the film that Fred's main reason in running for office is that he lacks the skills, strength, and education for any other job that would be lucrative enough to pay his father's costly medical bills. It is also made obvious during the campaign section of the film that Fred's victory is entirely the result of his charisma and charm, rather than of any amount of political savvy or wisdom. Tuttle would go on to run for a seat in the United States Senate in 1998. He won the Republican nomination but was defeated by Democratic incumbent Senator Patrick Leahy, whom Tuttle famously endorsed.

63194722	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape%20Rawson%20Formation	Cape Rawson Formation	The Cape Rawson Formation is a geologic formation in Nunavut. It preserves fossils that date back to both the Ordovician and Devonian periods. Because the Blue Fiord Formation lies on top of the formation, it has been determined that it predates the middle Devonian Period. It is located on the southern portion of the Ellesmere Island in Canada. Composition 100 feet of shale separates it from nearby fiord formations, including the Cornwallis Formation. Permanent fauna does not exist, however fossils suggest that the fiord may have been a thriving temperate climate over 200 million years ago. Many fossils have been detected inside the mass of limestone which overcuts the formation. Location The majority of the fiord is located on the southern portion of Ellesmere Island. However, some of the fiord encroaches on some territory in the eastern and northeastern portions of the island. Relation to Other Fjords The Cape Rawson Formation overcuts the Cape Phillips Formation. It also borders the Canyon Fiord Formation. Underwater rock beds of the fiord merge into the Greely Fiord.

Cascio, was an American race horse trainer, and two-time winner of the All American Futurity, having won in 1968 with Three Oh's, and again in 1970 with Rocket Wrangler. He also trained Dash For Cash, twice Champion of Champions winner sired by Rocket Wrangler. In 2002, Cascio was inducted into the Texas Racing Hall of Fame, and in 2008, into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame. He has been referred to as a "Texas racing legend". In 2016, he was inducted into the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame as "one of the most successful trainers in the horse racing industry for over 40 years." Cascio died on November 2, 2022, at the age of 90. Early life Bubba Cascio was born in Houston, Texas into a life of horse racing. His uncle managed Epsom Downs, located on Jensen Drive in northeast Harris County, until parimutuel racing became illegal in Texas in 1937. His father Jake Cascio (1907–1988) was a highly regarded racehorse trainer throughout the Southwest. Bubba began his lifelong career in horse racing at age 10 when he hot-walked horses for racehorse trainer Will McKown. A few years later he was galloping racehorses, and by age 16 was a jockey for approximately three years during which time he outgrew the required weight limit. While still in his teens, Bubba worked for Lester Goodson's J3 Ranch in Magnolia, Texas. He said, "My dad was training race horses and I was riding ‘em." When he became too heavy to jockey, he started riding cutting horses under the tutelage of his idol Matlock Rose who, at the time, also worked for J3 Ranch training AQHA performance horses. Career Cascio credits Lester Goodson as having been a positive influence in his life and career stating that "[Goodson] believed in me, got me connections and recommended me to people.” Cascio also recalled a time in 1956 when he went with Goodson to the White House to present two American Quarter Horses to President Eisenhower. Cascio rode one of them in a reining pattern on the White House lawn. The horses' names were Doodle De Do and Sporty Miss. Cascio trained many winning race horses but among the most notable are the two All American Futurity winners Three Oh's and Rocket Wrangler, and twice Champion of Champions winner Dash For Cash, an American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame inductee.

41368168	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara%20Hendricks%20%28politician%29	Barbara Hendricks (politician)	Barbara Anne Hendricks (born 29 April 1952) is a German politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) who served as Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety in the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel from 2013 until 2018. From 2007 to 2013, Hendricks was Federal Treasurer of the SPD, and from 1998 to 2007 she was Parliamentary Secretary of State at the Federal Ministry of Finance. Early life and career Barbara Hendricks was born in Kleve. After obtaining her in 1970 at the Johanna Sebus Gymnasium in Kleve, Hendricks studied History and Social Sciences in Bonn, passing the examination for high school teachers in 1976. She then worked for the Association for Student Affairs until 1978. After that, until 1981, she was a deputy press secretary at the press office of the Bundestag parliamentary party of the SPD. In 1980 she was awarded a doctorate based on a thesis entitled Die Entwicklung der Margarineindustrie am unteren Niederrhein [The development of the margarine industry on the lower Rhine]. She was then press secretary of the minister of finance of the state of North Rhine-Westfalia until 1990. In 1991 she was appointed Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of the Environment, Spatial Planning and Agriculture of the State of North Rhine-Westfalia. Political career Early beginnings Barbara Hendricks has been a member of the SPD since 1972 and has been the president of the SPD party organization for the District of Kleve since 1989. From 1984 to 1989 she was a member of the District Council () of the Rural District of Kleve. From 1990 to 2001 she was a member of the party council. From 1987 to 2001 she was a member of the state party executive of the SPD in North Rhine-Westphalia – as from 1996 as treasurer. Since the 1994 elections, Hendricks has been a member of the Bundestag. In parliament, she served on the Finance Committee from 1994 until 1998. In addition, from October 1995 to November 1998, she was a member of the executive of the SPD parliamentary group, under the leadership of the group’s chairman Rudolf Scharping. Hendricks was always elected to the Bundestag via the party list of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Since 2001 she has been a member of the SPD (federal) party executive. Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister of Finance, 1998–2007 Following the 1998 German federal election, on 27 October 1998 Hendricks was appointed Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister of Finance in the cabinet of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. From 22 November 2005, Hendricks continued in this office in the first cabinet of Chancellor Angela Merkel – meaning that she was a state secretary under three finance ministers: Oskar Lafontaine, Hans Eichel, and Peer Steinbrück. She left this office on 16 November 2007, after being elected federal treasurer of the SPD. Treasurer of the SPD, 2007–2013 From October 2007, Hendricks served as SPD federal treasurer, a position in which she administered the party-owned media holding Print and Publishing Society (DDVG) with stakes in regional newspapers such as Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung, Leipziger Volkszeitung and Märkische Allgemeine. In the campaign for the 2009 German federal election Hendricks was a member of the "shadow cabinet" of the SPD candidate for the chancellorship, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, where she was responsible for consumer affairs. Following the elections, she served on the Committee on Economic Cooperation and Development until 2013. On the committee, she was her parliamentary group’s rapporteur on heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC); poverty reduction strategies (PRSP); the International Monetary Fund (IMF); the World Bank; and the European Development Fund (EDF). In the negotiations to form a coalition government following the 2013 federal elections, Hendricks was part of the 15-member leadership circle chaired by Angela Merkel, Horst Seehofer and Sigmar Gabriel. Until 2014 Hendricks also served as a member of the executive of the SPD Culture Forum, mainly responsible for culture financing. Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, 2013–2018 From 17 December 2013, Hendricks served as Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety in the third cabinet of Angela Merkel. Hendricks led the German delegations to the 2014 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Lima and the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris. In August 2015, she was part of Chancellor Merkel’s delegation to the first joint cabinet meeting of the governments of Germany and Brazil in Brasília. In early 2015, Hendricks proposed a new draft law that imposes an outright ban on fracking for shale gas in the following years and only allow scientific test drilling under strict conditions to assess the risks and environmental impact. The resulting legislation that passed the cabinet in April 2015 softened her line somewhat, restricting fracking until 2019, after which commercial fracking could only go forward after passing various tough regulatory hurdles. The legislation, however, allows fracking for deep-lying or "tight" gas, a technology that has been used for decades in Germany. By early 2016, Hendricks entered in talks with various stakeholders on drawing up a plan over how to exit coal-fired power generation in Germany, later named 'Climate Action Plan 2050'. Later career Following the 2017 elections, Hendricks remained in office until 2018 but left with the new coalition government of Chancellor Angela Merkel taking over. She joined the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs. In addition to her committee assignments, she served as deputy chairwoman of the Parliamentary Friendship Group for Relations with the Cono Sur States (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay). In February 2021, Hendricks said she would not contest the 2021 elections.

71355489	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathilde%20Lefebvre%20letter	Mathilde Lefebvre letter	The Mathilde Lefebvre letter (French: lettre de Mathilde Lefebvre) is a hoax document found in a bottle, purportedly written by Mathilde Lefebvre, a young girl from Liévin, France who died in the sinking of the Titanic, but in fact was forged by an anonymous forger. In the spring of 2021, the French newspaper La Voix du Nord published an article entitled “Qui était Franck Lefebvre, l’Haillicourtois qui a perdu une partie de sa famille dans le naufrage du Titanic ?” (in French, Who was Franck Lefebvre, the Hailourtois who lost part of his family in the sinking of the Titanic ?) mentioning this document. After that, there were media reports about the letter. After several specialists had expressed doubts about the authenticity of the letter, it was revealed that it was a hoax. Background The Lefebvre family Mathilde Lefebvre was born the 4 May 1899 at Liévin. She is the daughter of Franck Lefebvre and Marie Daumond. Franck Lefebvre, a coal miner from Liévin in Pas-de-Calais, moved to Mystic, Iowa, United States in 1910. Once enough money was raised, he paid for his wife and children, who remained in France, for a trip aboard the Titanic, so that they could join him. Mathilde travels with fer mother Marie, her brother Henri and their brothers Ida and Jeanne at Southamton. They divide a third class cabin. None of the Lefebvre family aboard the Titanic survived. Previous hoaxes The Titanic was not the only sunken ship from whom message bottles were purportedly found. In February 1893, the Naronic, a livestock carrier belonging to the White Star Line, disappeared during a crossing of the Atlantic Ocean while trying to reach New York City from Liverpool. At that time, ships were not yet equipped with radio and the only way to prevent a tragedy was to be seen by another ship. For several months, several ships were diverted from the company to try to find the Naronic, but without success. Only empty Naronic lifeboats were found. There is currently no explanation of what happened. In March of the same year, six bottles containing messages attributed to the Naronic were found. Two were discovered on the east coast of the United States and reported a sinking on February 19. One of them referred to a collision with an iceberg during a snowstorm. Although the letters were signed, none of the names were on the official list of mariners on board. Apparently, they were written by people who were not aware of this information, based on media reports. Also, the messages found in the United Kingdom referred to icebergs or explosions, and the names in the messages simply did not exist. One of the messages referred to a false address. Start of the Mathilde Lefebvre case Discovery of the letter In 2017, a New Brunswicker contacted Antoine Resche, president of the French Titanic Association, to announce that he had found a bottle containing a letter in the Bay of Fundy. Dated April 1912, it was signed by Mathilde Lefebvre, who was travelling with her mother and her siblings in third class on the Titanic; all perished in the tragedy. The text read: “Je jette cette bouteille à la mer au milieu de l'Atlantique. nous devons arriver à New York dans quelques jours. Si quelqu'un la trouve, prévenez la famille Lefebvre à Liévin.” (In English: I am throwing this bottle into the sea in the middle of the Atlantic. We are due to arrive in New York in a few days. If anyone finds it, tell the Lefebvre family in Lievin.) To verify the authenticity of the letter, Antoine Resche asked the person who discovered the letter to date the bottle, the ink and the paper. Publication in La Voix Du Nord The case stalled until 2021, when a journalist from La Voix du Nord published an article entitled Qui était Franck Lefebvre, l’Haillicourtois qui a perdu une partie de sa famille dans le naufrage du Titanic ? (“Who was Franck Lefebvre, the Haillicourt man who lost part of his family in the sinking of the Titanic?”). From then on, the information was repeated in various news outlets, including France Bleu, L'indépendant, France Télévisions or RTL. First doubts Very quickly, several specialists expressed doubts about the authenticity of the letter. Several points intrigue researchers, both in terms of the condition of the message and the message itself. Handwriting According to Franck Gavard-Perret, professor of geography history and Nicolas Beaudry, from the Uqar Archaeology and Heritage Laboratory, the handwriting attributed to Mathilde Lefebvre isn't like that expected from people of the working classes of the time, especially when compared with the correspondence of the Poilu of the Great War. Psychomotrician Coraline Hausenblas conducted a study of writing and concluded that “identity theft was carried out in order to carry out a hoax around a historical subject attracting the attention and sympathy of the public”. Several forms of writing had been used: cursive writing, but also script, common in the Anglo-Saxon world, but not in France. The text The text does not contain much personal information, making it difficult to determine its authenticity. In the letter, Mathilde asks that anyone who finds her notify the Lefebvre family to Liévin. But Mathilde, her mother and her siblings were the last members of her family to leave Liévin to join the father of a family already settled in the United States. Why would she want a finder to contact the Lefebvre family in Liévin, when they no longer had close family there? Why, if she wanted to be contacted herself that her message had been found, didn’t she ask to send the letter to her destination, Mystic, Iowa? According to Antoine Resche, this can be explained as follows: “If we start from the premise that the document is a forgery, it is very easy to explain: it is much more common to find the city of origin of the Lefebvre's Family than their destination...and a forger did not necessarily have this information”. The bottle The bottle used to convey the message is a small glass bottle, intended for liquors or perfumes. It is known that third class passengers often travelled with little luggage: such an empty bottle would therefore have had little room in the Lefebvre's luggage, which had to be limited to the essentials. According to Antoine Resche:“Such bottles would certainly not have been available in the third class dining room, which did not offer self-service liquors. A lone mother traveling with children who did not speak English would also have had a difficult time obtaining them from the crew”. Although researchers have stated that the bottle is “consistent with the early 20th century. You can find vintage bottles in an apothecary's shop, but that doesn't ensure that it was discarded in 1912.” Wax The bottle was supposed to have been in the water for over a century. In order for the message not to be affected by moisture, a very generous amount of wax would have had to be applied to the neck. It is difficult to explain how Mathilde could have obtained so much wax on board. The place where the bottle was found The bottle was found stranded in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. According to ocean current specialists, if such a drift from the site of the sinking was not impossible, it remains highly improbable. This improbability must therefore be coupled with all the other improbabilities mentioned above. Aftermath In order to be able to prove with certainty that the recovered letter was indeed written by Mathilde Lefebvre, it would be necessary to have authentic elements of Mathilde Lefebvre’s handwriting in order to compare. However, there are no known samples of his handwriting. In the end, newspapers such as Le Point and several others have admitted that Mathilde Lefebvre's letter was a hoax. The only consequence was to give visibility to a family involved in the Titanic disaster that until then had been little known.

25946930	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS%20Rising%20Star	PS Rising Star	PS Rising Star was a paddle steamer warship, nicknamed the Rising Sun. The ship was seen as a revolutionary design that included twin funnels and an internal retractable paddle wheel. She was the first ever steam warship to cross the Atlantic and the Magellan Strait from east to west in 1822. She is also listed as the first steam-powered naval vessel and as the first steam-powered vessel in the Pacific. Rising Star was built in Rotherhithe asked for Thomas Cochrane (later tenth Earl of Dundonald) in 1817, who envisioned the military advantages that a warship of this type could offer in naval operations. Construction and Propulsion The PS Rising Star was driven by a centerline paddle wheel powered by steam engines consisting of twin cylinders which were constructed by Maudslay and Sons and Field. The prospect of a ship that did not have to depend on the wind for power drew much attention and interest from Cochrane and he contributed with £3000 (15,000 pesos) of his own money into the venture. Edward Ellice, a South-America trader, supplied other £4000. Cochrane's reputation as a skilled naval commander led him to construct a warship that aimed to eliminate the differences in capability between his new fleet and the Spanish naval forces. He made efforts to conceal the ship's real purpose under the guise that it was to be used to sail to the North Pole. The Rising Star was inevitably a small warship, but made up for its size as with a conventional battery of twenty guns, which was distributed along its open spar deck, ten in each broadside. The paddle wheel in the central line that rotated in an hermetic interior compartment with the bottom open to the sea, protected it from attack. The engine was considered auxiliary, to have additional speed or additional capacity in case of lack of adequate wind. PS Rising Star had not been properly designed and the engine was too small to propel her. Since the miscalculation could not be easily remedied and due to delays in her construction (which took place in Kier's yard in 1820) the Rising Star was not delivered in time and could only run her trials on the Thames in June 1821. The ship managed six knots under steam. Although Lord Cochrane would hope to see the Rising Star completed, he had to depart to Chile, convinced by General José de San Martín to join the cause of the independence of the Hispanic-American colonies, to lead the naval campaign of the Liberating Expedition of Peru and the arrived in November 1918. When the steamboat was eventually fully finished he did not take the ship out himself; Major Hon. William Cochrane was given this task. The cross of the Atlantic Ocean towards Chile Rising Star eventually sailed from Gravesend on 22 October 1821, heading for Valparaíso. Just off the coast of Portugal she sprang a leak and had to be put into dock at Cork for repairs to the hull. Once repaired, Rising Star set off again for Valparaíso, crossed the Atlantic, passed the Magellan Strait and this time made the voyage without interference, arriving on June 6, 1822. Its arrival was too late for the war. Lord Cochrane resigned from his commission in Chile in November 1822, and went to the Empire of Brazil. The steamer was never used. PS Rising Star was eventually sold to Winter y Brittain of Buenos Aires in 1824 for commercial use. His steam engine would be withdrawn and put up for sale in London in May 1826. She sank in 1829, having run aground on the Porkkala peninsula facing the Finnish Sea, on a voyage from St. Petersburg to London.

43931503	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homecoming%3A%20When%20the%20Soldiers%20Returned%20from%20Vietnam	Homecoming: When the Soldiers Returned from Vietnam	Homecoming: When the Soldiers Returned From Vietnam is a book of selected correspondence published in 1989. Its genesis was a controversial newspaper column of 20 July 1987 in which Chicago Tribune syndicated columnist Bob Greene asked whether there was any truth to the folklore that Vietnam veterans had been spat upon when they returned from the war zone. Greene believed the tale was an urban legend. The overwhelming response to his original column led to four more columns, then to a book collection of the most notable responses. After Greene made his best effort to check the truth of the accounts to be printed, he inserted a minimum of his own commentary in the text, preferring to let the veterans' words speak for themselves. The reprinted letters show a steady pattern of mistreatment of Vietnam veterans by all segments of American society, and in a wide variety of settings. Homecoming was later criticized by those who did not believe that Vietnam veterans had been spat upon. Genesis of the book One of the contentious issues of the Vietnam War and its aftermath was the American public's response to its returning military veterans. Even as the citizenry's opposition to the war mounted, tales began to spread of returning veterans being mistreated. The archetypical story became one of antiwar hippie protesters spitting upon returning veterans in an airport. Twelve years after the Vietnam War ended, on 20 July 1987, syndicated columnist Bob Greene of the Chicago Tribune proposed testing the truth of what he considered an urban legend. The headline of his column, syndicated in 200 papers, asked: "If You're A Veteran, Were You Spat Upon?" As he wrote in the text: Even during the most fervent days of anti-war protest, it seemed that it was not the soldiers whom protesters were maligning. It was the leaders of government, and the top generals—at least, that is how it seemed in memory. One of the most popular chants during the anti-war marches was, "Stop the war in Vietnam, bring the boys home." You heard that at every peace rally in America. "Bring the boys home." That was the message. Also, when one thought realistically about the image of what was supposed to have happened, it seemed questionable. So-called "hippies", no matter what else one may have felt about them, were not the most macho people in the world. Picture a burly member of the Green Berets, in full uniform, walking through an airport. Now think of a "hippie" crossing his path. Would the hippie have the nerve to spit on the soldier? And if the hippie did, would the soldier—fresh from facing enemy troops in the jungles of Vietnam—just stand there and take it? He ended the article: So if you are a Vietnam veteran, and you were ever spat upon by a civilian after you returned home, please drop a line to this column. No jokes, please. If it really happened, it is no laughing matter. It would help if you provide approximate dates, places and circumstances. His work address followed. So did a spate of letters. Compiling Homecoming Greene promised to run results of the survey in a future column. As the letters poured in, the future column became four written columns excerpting eleven of the responses. He included an open invitation for anyone who had spat upon a returning veteran to explain their motivation. Greene eventually received in excess of 1,000 responses to his question about being spat upon. He was also receiving a steady feedback of readers' telephone calls reacting to the four columns; many of the calls were rawly emotional. He decided he did believe spitting occurred, concluding: There were simply too many letters, going into too fine a detail, to deny the fact. I think you will agree, after reading the letters, that even if several should prove to be not what they appear to be, that does not detract from the overall story that is being told. Greene was so touched by the emotionally moving letters he received, as well as by his readers' responses, that he decided to compile them into a book. He reprinted a total of 234 letters in the book. He added only occasional commentary, with the aim of letting the veterans' letters speak for themselves. Two young aides helped Greene compile the book. One of them, Susan Falcone, noted: the raw honesty of emotion from individuals I might have stereotyped as unemotional macho men ... As I touched each letter, I felt as if I was being allowed to touch the life of the person who wrote it. Greene did his best to authenticate letters before he included them in his book. He set aside any that seemed to him to be phony. Then he wrote the purported authors of the letters he did select, to verify their identity and solicit their permission to print the epistles in a book instead of a newspaper column. After that, he also used a source in the Veterans Administration to verify that the authors of selected letters had served in Vietnam. Even then, Greene took the further precaution of warning his readers that there might still be a phony letter or two included in the book. In a controversial claim by a former chaplain's assistant, this latter comment would be cited as a cause to doubt the veracity of Greene's book and of Vietnam veterans in general. Summary Greene reprinted 81 letters detailing Vietnam veterans being spat upon in the first section of Homecoming. The persons described as assailing the veterans came from a wide spectrum of American society. Assailants of the veterans are variously described as "a woman about forty", "middle-aged lady", "youngster", "college types", "group of people", "sweet little old lady", "well groomed little old lady", "rude couple", and "teenagers"—as well as "hippies" and "flower children". The veterans assaulted were not just ordinary soldiers; they ran the gamut of military occupations, including such noncombatants as a surgeon, a dentist, a West Point cadet, and a Catholic priest. In one case, a passerby remarked that a soldier who had been killed in action deserved to die. Reported locales did not just include airports, but bus stations and ordinary street settings; in one case, the spitting occurred in New Zealand. In several cases, the spat-upon veteran related minor retaliation upon his assailant, although most vets avoided such. A second section of Homecoming contained responses from veterans who claimed they were not spat upon; many of them did not believe any of their fellow veterans were spat upon. However, some of them recounted disrespectful acts other than spitting. To quote Dr. Gordon L. Webb's letter: I never met a serviceman who was spat upon, nor heard a first-person report of a serviceman being spat upon. Open hostility—yes. Unkind comments—yes. A third section came from a small category of responses, and relates acts of kindness shown toward the writers because they were veterans. Even in this category of responses, reference can be found to overheard insults, to bullying, and to unkind acts. A fourth section of Greene's book is a collection of instances where Vietnam veterans were not spat upon, but were insulted and/or abused. One example cited was the amputee who was told he deserved to lose his arm because he served in Vietnam. A final section of 13 miscellaneous letters is called, "I Would Like to Tell Another Side of the Story ..." Among these letters are two written by the mothers of soldiers who had been killed in action. By the time Homecoming was published, there had been no response from those who had spat upon veterans. Overall, several themes were evident in the book. In addition to being spat upon, a great majority of the responding veterans related other instances of disrespect, insults, and verbal and physical abuse. Removing one's uniform and changing into civilian clothing is another recurring theme. Not mentioning military service, and hiding the fact that they had served in Vietnam is another. Anger and bitterness at perceived betrayal is yet another constant. To quote one of the letters, by Gary C. Peters: A Vietnam vet could take being spat upon by one person. What broke our hearts was being spat upon by our country. Critical response According to Kulik, some of the stories Greene reprinted "rank somewhere between the impossible and the improbable ... Even the stories that are not obviously false contain clear warning signs. The vast majority of them cannot be corroborated. There are no named witnesses, none". In 1998 sociologist Jerry Lembcke published The Spitting Image: Myth, Memory and the Legacy of Vietnam, a similar examination of whether returning Vietnam veterans were spat upon by hippies, and concluded that it was not a documented occurrence of the time. He points to the lack of news coverage of spitting incidents before claiming that anti-war activists and Vietnam veterans were mutually supportive of one another. Lembcke does not explore the possibility that non-hippies spat upon returning veterans, nor that such might not be news. A Los Angeles Times review characterized the book as searing but shallow, expressing the view that Greene should have tracked down and interviewed the letter writers. However, Florida's Sun-Sentinel calls the reprinted letters "incredibly moving" and claims Greene's infrequent interjected comments are unneeded.

10749855	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarda%20fistulosa	Monarda fistulosa	Monarda fistulosa, the wild bergamot or bee balm, is a wildflower in the mint family Lamiaceae, widespread and abundant as a native plant in much of North America. This plant, with showy summer-blooming pink to lavender flowers, is often used as a honey plant, medicinal plant, and garden ornamental. The species is quite variable, and several subspecies or varieties have been recognized within it. Description and distribution Monarda fistulosa is an herbaceous perennial that grows from slender creeping rhizomes, thus commonly occurring in large clumps. The plants are typically up to tall, with a few erect branches. Its leaves are long, lance-shaped, and toothed. Its compact flower clusters are solitary at the ends of branches. Each cluster is about long, containing about 20–50 flowers. Wild bergamot often grows in rich soils in dry fields, thickets, and clearings, usually on limy soil. The plants generally flower from June to September. Monarda fistulosa ranges from Quebec to the Northwest Territories and British Columbia, south to Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Idaho, and northeastern Washington. The Latin specific epithet fistulosa means hollow like a pipe. The plant is noted for its fragrance, though the composition of its oils is quite variable. It can have thymol, geraniol, carvacrol, p-cymene, γ-terpinene, α-terpinene, and α-thujene in different amounts with the exact cause of this variability still being researched, though environmental and genetic factors probably both play a role. At least one population in Colorado also contains linalol. Taxonomy Several varieties have been variously recognized within Monarda fistulosa, of which some have also been treated as subspecies or as distinct species. Some of the varieties are geographically widespread, and others are quite restricted in their ranges. Varieties include: Monarda fistulosa var. brevis – Smoke Hole bergamot (Virginia and West Virginia) Monarda fistulosa var. fistulosa – wild bergamot (widespread, primarily eastern and central North America) Monarda fistulosa var. longipetiolata – (Ontario and Quebec) Monarda fistulosa var. maheuxii – (Ontario) Monarda fistulosa var. menthifolia – (widespread, western North America, excluding Oregon and California) Monarda fistulosa var. mollis – (widespread, primarily eastern and central North America) Monarda fistulosa var. rubra – (eastern North America, uncommon) Monarda fistulosa, unnamed variety – (Arkansas and Oklahoma) One authority states that Native Americans recognized four kinds of wild bergamot that had different odors (Wood, 1997). Conservation status in the United States It is listed as historical in Rhode Island. Uses Wild bergamot is considered a medicinal plant by many Native Americans. The Oneida call it "Number Six", in honor of it being "the sixth medicine given by the Creator"; other nations that use it include the Menominee, the Ojibwe, and the Winnebago (Ho-Chunk). It is used most commonly to treat colds, and is frequently made into a tea. Today, many families still use wild bergamot during the cold and flu season. The tea may be sweetened with honey, as it tends to be quite strong. The species of Monarda that may go under the common name "bee balm," including M. fistulosa, have a long history of use as a medicinal plant by Native Americans, including the Blackfoot. The Blackfoot recognized the plant's strong antiseptic action, and used poultices of the plant for skin infections and minor wounds. A tea made from the plant was also used to treat mouth and throat infections caused by dental caries and gingivitis. Bee balm is the natural source of the antiseptic thymol, the primary active ingredient in modern commercial mouthwash formulas. The Winnebago used a tea made from bee balm as a general stimulant. Bee balm was also used as a carminative herb by Native Americans to treat excessive flatulence. Leaves were eaten boiled with meat and a concoction of the plant was made into hair pomade. The herb is considered an active diaphoretic (sweat inducer). The essential oil of Monarda fistulosa was analyzed using mass spectrometry and arithmetical retention indices, and was found to contain p-cymene (32.5%), carvacrol (24.0%), thymol (12.6%), an aliphatic aldehyde (6.3%), the methyl ether of carvacrol (5.5%), α-pinene (3.5%), β-pinene (2.9%), sabinene hydrate (1.9%), α-terpinene (1.7%), citronellyl acetate (1.6%), and β-caryophyllene (1.1%). M. fistulosa distillate has been proposed as an antimicrobial agent in laboratory settings, specifically as an agent in artificial media used for growth of tachinid fly larvae. Ecology As a honey plant, it is popular with a variety of pollinators, including bees, hummingbirds, and lepidoptera. It is a larval host to the hermit sphinx, orange mint moth, and raspberry pyrausta.

49588334	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance%20of%20Young%20Nurse%20Leaders%20and%20Advocates	Alliance of Young Nurse Leaders and Advocates	The Alliance of Young Nurse Leaders and Advocates, also known as AYNLA, is a professional organization in the Philippines advocating for the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (now Sustainable Development Goals), Universal Health Care, and advancement of nurses' rights and welfare. It was established in the year 2009 and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission in 2010. The headquarters of the organization is currently located at Villaruel Street, in Pasay. History Nine young professional nurses got together to establish AYNLA aiming to advance certain youth and health issues. AYNLA was conceived late August 2009 taking in a different name for its organizational test run. Moreover, it was launched in a different name and calling to serve as a springboard to the AYNLA it is now. The organization was formally conceptualized and was drafted in September 2009. The Birth of AYNLA There were a lot of glitches and heated arguments creating the major stirring in the then organization until it reaches reorganization and eventually a lot of gray areas leaving many of its founding members left hanging in mid-air. Tensions arise and many discontented leaders just left the organization in inactivity. The then Board of Trustees was stirred by political issues and many issues left unanswered leading to the disbandment of the Board. The disbandment led a revolutionary turnabout leading to a new organization; the primary calling of AYNLA came in. Call of Leadership Before the disbandment of the former Board, the then organization met with the Philippine Nurses Association – the motherboard of all nursing organizations in the Philippines. A question was raised on what is the specific nursing area of concern the organization was bearing. After the meeting, the then officers have decided to take Nursing Leadership & Management as the flagship program concept for the organization – the primary calling of AYNLA. By then all programs and services of the then organization were geared towards leadership. Rise of AYNLA After the stormy disbandment of the former Board and after the untimely resignation of all its Board members, the rise of AYNLA comes as fast as the disbandment of the former. Taking into the mandate of nursing leadership, management and now incorporating the concept of advocacy, the new organization took its new name and quickly reorganized itself to serve as a cushion to many of its wandering members of its status. The disbandment of the former Board now created two separate and totally different organizations, the former organization and AYNLA International. The new organization is composed majorly of the leaders of the former organization but was given the options to choose between the two. Similarly, in the local levels, members were asked to choose between having their membership active in the former or the latter; but was discouraged from becoming active members of both since there may be conflicting interests among its leaders. Starting it Right After the storm that hit the leaders of the former organization and now taking the banner of AYNLA, the leaders have met and talked about the next steps for the new organization. One of the stronghold leaders of AYNLA created series of consultative meetings with its circle of leaders and trusted members to finalize and concretize the plans to establish a national and international organization of young nurse leaders. A new Board arises and is now called the Alliance Board. Vigilant and assertive, the Alliance Board quickly assembles itself and restructures the organization. AYNLA now starts from the ashes. But just as a glorious phoenix has to die to ashes to give birth to a more lasting and powerful phoenix, such as the former organization has to be left to spring a better and more dynamic organization – that is now the Alliance of Young Nurse Leaders and Advocates International. AYNLA and the UN Millennium Development Goals Campaign AYNLA, now taking its global stand on healthcare and leadership, unanimously agreed that the UN Millennium Development Campaign on the 8 Millennium Development Goals needs to be addressed properly mostly in the nursing and healthcare professions. The rising HIV incidence rates, depressing maternal health and increasing child mortality rates alarm the leaders of AYNLA and have seen its grave impact in the nursing profession – where nurses are in the forefront of these main issues. AYNLA believes that all the 8 MDGs are related to nursing and healthcare and, therefore, must take serious actions to address these. A new mandate from the stronghold leaders of AYNLA now includes the participation of the organization in every MDG and aligning all its programs and activities in achieving the MDGs through nursing leadership and advocacy. With this, AYNLA now has a more meaningful existence and a more compelling drive to push the advocacies of the organization and work with the international arena. AYNLA and the 2010 International Year of the Nurse Another global calling that AYNLA was called to participate is the celebration of the 2010 International Year of the Nurse (IYN) – an international celebration of the centennial year of the Founder of Modern Nursing, the late Florence Nightingale, and the global nurses serving the world. The IYN is spearheaded by the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health (NIGH) and Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI), the international honorary society of nurses. IYN also advocates and pushes the UN MDGs in the global arena. AYNLA is fortunate to be recognized as a partner organization for the Philippines to hold this activity. The Road Less Traveled Currently, AYNLA traverses the painstaking road as it expands its borders in the national and international nursing arena and encouraging more new generation nurses to be active in the profession, its causes and to further develop more nurse leaders today. The Alliance Seal The AYNLA seal is the emblem used by the organization both domestic and international. The shield symbolizes strength and protection and assurance while the globe symbolizes the global competitiveness of each member in providing health care and it also symbolizes the reach of the services of the Alliance. The lamp symbolizes the nursing profession and the laurel leaves symbolize peace, advocacy, education and nobility. The Baybayin inscriptions, the ancient Filipino way of writing, "Pinuno" which means "Leader" in English. Partnerships and programs Adolescent HIV Nursing AYNLA is currently implementing Adolescent HIV Nursing Model for Community-based Treatment, Care, and Support project in partnership with United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and Department of Health. The project aims to provide adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) a rigorous, comprehensive HIV treatment, care, and support through integrated medical and social care approaches to achieve better health outcomes. It specifically aims to pilot an HIV Nursing Model that caters to ALHIV needs through community-based approaches in two high burdened sites (Iloilo/Zamboanga), to develop and implement standardized non-discriminatory, youth-friendly, nursing module for treatment, care and support of ALHIV, and to generate evidence through documentation of knowledge product and experiences including lessons learned. Further, a National Steering Committee was established to provide support in the successful implementation of the project and in meeting its objectives. It will serve as a governing body providing strategic leadership and governance oversight. It is expected to make key policy decisions relative to Adolescent HIV Nursing, guide the implementing partner in the execution of the project, and provide reviews on the results of the project evaluations that will take place periodically. More importantly, the NSC will help in ensuring the sustainability of the project that will provide quality and efficient HIV care, treatment, and support among adolescents. The members of the NSC include Department of Health, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Council for the Welfare of Children, National Youth Commission, and Regional DOH/DSWD Offices. Kalusugan Pangkalahatan (Universal Health Care) The organization partnered with the Department of Health (Philippines) (DOH) in conducting series of community town hall assemblies known as "Usapang KP" where the DOH can directly consult the people on their needs and problems concerning healthcare delivery in their community through AYNLA's nurses. Inputs of these assemblies were used for policy development and recommendation to the office of the DOH Secretary for the proper implementation of the Universal Health Care program in the Philippines. AYNLA also worked with the DOH and Probe Media Foundation for the implementation of a primary health care roving bus called "Lakbay Buhay Kalusugan" touring 10 key areas in the country doing health promotion activities. It also partnered with DOH in the implementation of the national monitoring and evaluation activities for the RNHEALS project. AYNLA also worked with PhilHealth ensuring the effectiveness of the implementation of its program, PhilHealth Cares. It was invited by the PhilHealth president to be part of the multi-specialty group called PhilHealth Watch that will help monitor PhilHealth's programs. Lastly, AYNLA also worked with the International Labour Organization on Health and Migration issues. Philippine Reproductive Health Law AYNLA is known to be publicly supportive of having a national comprehensive reproductive health law emphasizing the role of nurses as health educators, patient counselors, and consultants. It joined the Technical Panel of Experts which reviewed and finalized the draft of then Reproductive Health (RH) bill. Finally, AYNLA participated in developing the implementing rules and regulation of the said law. UHC Global Coalition AYNLA actively participated in advocacy efforts within the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Coalition, led by Global Health Strategies on behalf of The Rockefeller Foundation, to raise awareness about the need to expand affordable and quality health services. AYNLA most recently demonstrated its commitment through hosting a successful event timed to Universal Health Coverage Day 2015. Accolades and recognitions Ten Accomplished Youth Organization (TAYO) Awards AYNLA's program Kalingang Bayan: The National Nursing Mission was selected as one of the National Finalists of the 9th TAYO Awards, organized by TAYO Foundation in partnership with the National Youth Commission. The said project focuses on providing essential health services to communities including health education and consultation, as well as providing training of health workers. Awarding ceremonies were held at the Malacañan Palace, Philippines. 6th United Nations Population Fund Country Programme AYNLA contributed to the effective implementation of the 6th UNFPA Country Program of Assistance to the Government of the Philippines from 2005-2011, which supported national and local partners to prevent maternal deaths and achieve Millennium Development Goal 5. Healthy Lifestyle Exemplar Awards A Plaque of Commendation was awarded to AYNLA by the Health and Lifestyle Magazine, under the category of Health Education and Public Service, for its program focusing on patient education and health promotion. Care Challenge Awards by Connecting Nurses AYNLA's program known as was selected by the Connecting Nurses as one of the winners of the 2011 Care Challenge Awards, under the Helping Category.

12785745	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel%20Garico%C3%AFts	Michel Garicoïts	Michel Garicoïts (15 April 1797 – 14 May 1863) was a French Basque Roman Catholic priest and the founder of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Bétharram. He combated Jansenism in his parish due to the threat that it posed to the faith. He served as a teacher and preacher and was known for his ardent devotion to both the Eucharist and the Sacred Heart. The sainthood cause commenced under Pope Leo XIII in mid-1899 while Pope Benedict XV later named him as Venerable on 10 December 1916 upon the confirmation of his heroic virtue. Pope Pius XI beatified him in 1923 while Pope Pius XII later canonized him as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church over a decade later in 1947. Life Michel Garicoïts was born on 15 April 1797 in Saint-Just-Ibarre as the first of six children of the peasants Arnaud Garicoïts and Gratianne Etchéverry. His parents remained faithful and true to the spirit of the faith during the persecutions of the French Revolution while also doing their best to shelter priests. His father helped priests flee persecution and helped them cross the border into Spain. One brother was born after him in 1799. In 1801 he trespassed into his neighbour's home and hurled a stone at a woman who he believed had wronged his mother before fleeing the scene. In 1802 he stole a pack of needles from a travelling salesman – his mother reprimanded him for this – and in 1804 stole an apple from his brother to his mother's disdain. In 1806 he was sent to the village school but was taken out in 1809 to work as a servant on a farm for additional income. In his childhood he was noted for silent contemplation and for singing Psalms while guarding the cattle. In 1810 he was sent as a servant to another farm at Oneix and there made his First Communion on 9 June 1811 – it was this event that served as the trigger for his religious vocation. He decided that he wanted to become a priest and so returned to his hometown and told his father: "I want to be a priest". His father said it would be impossible due to their poor financial condition (he said: "No! We are too poor") but his maternal grandmother Catherine Etchéverry knew a parish priest and convinced him to enroll him at school for studies before he became a seminarian. He attended school at Saint-Palais where he studied Latin and French in the candlelight late into the night while paid his expenses through working for priests and in the local bishop's kitchen – the cook there had a disliking for him for unknown reasons. The parish priest Jean Baptiste Borda gave him private lessons. Garicoïts commenced his studies for the priesthood in Aire-sur-Adour and later in Dax. He was asked to teach seminarians at Larressore despite still being a student himself. He received his ordination to the priesthood on 20 December 1823 at the Bayonne Cathedral from Archbishop – future cardinal – Paul-Thérèse-David d'Astros. He was appointed as the curate to the town of Cambo not too far from where he was ordained and he was there from the beginning of 1824 until late 1825 when he was sent to Bétharram to teach philosophical studies. In 1833 the diocesan bishop ceased education for seminarians in that place for unknown reasons and he was left to care for that Marian shrine and its pilgrims. It dawned on him to begin his own religious congregation for all priests and professed brothers and dedicated it to the Sacred Heart as a means of evangelizing to people through missions. Before he founded it he attended a month retreat with the Jesuits in 1832 for guidance and his spiritual director Father Le Blanc helped to guide him along the right path. Garicoïts helped Jean Elizabeth Bichier des Ages found her religious order while later establishing his own in 1838. He died in the morning about 3:00am in mid-1863 due to an apoplexy. He had suffered from poor health since 1853 and in 1859 was quite ill but rallied from this until Lent in 1863 when his condition deteriorated to the point where he knew his death was near. His final words in a low murmur were: "Have pity on me, Lord, in Your great mercy". Name His Basque surname is the origin of the male name "Garikoitz". In the Basque Country his name would have been spelt "Mitxel". Sainthood The sainthood process commenced under Pope Leo XIII on 15 May 1899 and Garicoïts was titled as a Servant of God. Pope Benedict XV confirmed that the late priest had lived a model life of heroic virtue and named him as Venerable on 10 December 1916 as a result. Two miracles approved allowed for Pope Pius XI to preside over his beatification on 10 May 1923 while a decree resumed the cause on 23 July 1924. Two additional miracles were investigated and received the validation of the Congregation for Rites on 17 July 1929. A preparatory committee approved them both on 13 April 1943 as did a general committee on 15 February 1944 and Pope Pius XII on 27 February 1944 who confirmed his sainthood. Pius XII proclaimed Garicoïts to be a saint of the Roman Catholic Church on 6 July 1947.

74685071	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast%20Oklahoma%20Railroad	Northeast Oklahoma Railroad	The predecessor rail lines which eventually came together as the Northeast Oklahoma Railroad (“NEO”) started as early as 1906, with some routes continuing until NEO was merged into the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad (“Frisco”) in 1967. At its maximum, NEO ran approximately 34 miles of track in the area of the Tri-state mining district of southeast Kansas, northeast Oklahoma and southwest Missouri, although NEO itself only had operations in Kansas and Oklahoma. History The Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri Inter-Urban Railway Company was incorporated September 26, 1908 in Oklahoma, for the purpose of constructing a line from Miami, Oklahoma by way of Hattonville (later known as Commerce, Oklahoma) to Baxter Springs, Kansas, about 22 miles. The Miami-to-Commerce segment was actually built in the 1908-1909 timeframe, about 4.2 miles. In 1916, the line was extended from Commerce through Cardin and Picher to the mining camp of Century, Oklahoma, a/k/a Douthat, about 7.6 miles. This gave the route an upside-down “fishhook” shape, extending north from Miami to Cardin, easterly to Picher, and then south to Century. The railroad changed its name to the Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri Railway Company on May 8, 1917. This was purchased on December 1, 1919, by the Northeast Oklahoma Traction Co., which had been incorporated July 25 of that year. The assets were then moved to the Northeast Oklahoma Railroad Co., which was incorporated December 29, 1919. While the tracks had been operated by steam locomotion or by two gas-electric railcars up to this point, the new owner electrified the line on June 30, 1921, although some steam operations continued. At its maximum extent, this NEO segment had not only the Miami-to-Century route, but also a branch north to a local settlement known as Westville, Kansas added in 1922, and a branch north to Columbus, Kansas added in 1923, producing total trackage of about 24.1 miles, together with 27 miles of sidings. Another NEO forerunner, the Southwest Missouri Railroad (“SMRR”), was incorporated August 16, 1906 in Missouri. On August 23, 1906, it acquired two streetcar lines known as the Webb City Northern Electric Railroad and the Southwest Missouri Electric Railway, which both had trackage in the Tri-state mining district. However, SMRR itself was organized as a common carrier railroad, and it proceeded to build a regular-gauge electrified line from Carthage, Missouri through Webb City, Missouri and Baxter Springs, Kansas to Picher, Oklahoma, about 77 miles, in the 1906-1907 timeframe. At its absolute maximum, the line had about 94 miles of track. But receivers were appointed for the railroad in 1926, and on April 27, 1939, the Baxter Springs-to-Picher segment was sold to NEO, with the tracks east of Baxter Springs abandoned and torn up. NEO got 5.556 miles of mainline and 4.17 miles of sidetracks, for a total of 9.726 miles of track. NEO itself was purchased by Eagle-Picher, then a lead and zinc mining company in the Tri-state district, in 1938. NEO was subsequently sold by Eagle-Picher to the Frisco effective in 1964. NEO continued operating under its own name until 1967 when it was dissolved and its assets absorbed by the Frisco.

2629669	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot-assisted%20surgery	Robot-assisted surgery	Robot-assisted surgery or robotic surgery are any types of surgical procedures that are performed using robotic systems. Robotically assisted surgery was developed to try to overcome the limitations of pre-existing minimally-invasive surgical procedures and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery. In the case of robotically assisted minimally-invasive surgery, instead of the surgeon directly moving the instruments, the surgeon uses one of two methods to perform dissection, hemostasis and resection, using a direct telemanipulator, or through computer control. A telemanipulator (e.g. the da Vinci Surgical System) is a system of remotely controlled manipulators that allows the surgeon to operate real-time under stereoscopic vision from a control console separate from the operating table. The robot is docked next to the patient, and robotic arms carry out endoscopy-like maneuvers via end-effectors inserted through specially designed trocars. A surgical assistant and a scrub nurse are often still needed scrubbed at the tableside to help switch effector instruments or provide additional suction or temporary tissue retraction using endoscopic grasping instruments. In computer-controlled systems, the surgeon uses a computer system to relay control data and direct the robotic arms and its end-effectors, though these systems can also still use telemanipulators for their input. One advantage of using the computerized method is that the surgeon does not have to be present on campus to perform the procedure, leading to the possibility for remote surgery and even AI-assisted or automated procedures. Memory devices play an essential role in preventing any inconveniences in the robot-assisted surgery. The memory storage solutions can perform multiple functions based on the patient's physical record. They can also indicate specific information to measure calibration offsets indicating misalignment of the storage drive system, life of the data, and so on. Robotic surgery has been criticized for its expense, with the average costs in 2007 ranging from $5,607 to $45,914 per patient. This technique has not been approved for cancer surgery as of 2019 as the safety and usefulness is unclear. History The concept of using standard hand grips to control manipulators and cameras of various sizes down to sub-miniature was described in the Robert Heinlein story 'Waldo' in August 1942, which also mentioned brain surgery. The first robot to assist in surgery was the Arthrobot, which was developed and used for the first time in Vancouver in 1984. This robot assisted in being able to manipulate and position the patient's leg on voice command. Intimately involved were biomedical engineer James McEwen, Geof Auchinleck, a UBC engineering physics grad, and Dr. Brian Day as well as a team of engineering students. The robot was used in an orthopaedic surgical procedure on 12 March 1984, at the UBC Hospital in Vancouver. Over 60 arthroscopic surgical procedures were performed in the first 12 months, and a 1985 National Geographic video on industrial robots, The Robotics Revolution, featured the device. Other related robotic devices developed at the same time included a surgical scrub nurse robot, which handed operative instruments on voice command, and a medical laboratory robotic arm. A YouTube video entitled Arthrobot – the world's first surgical robot illustrates some of these in operation. In 1985 a robot, the Unimation Puma 200, was used to orient a needle for a brain biopsy while under CT guidance during a neurological procedure. In the late 1980s, Imperial College in London developed PROBOT, which was then used to perform prostatic surgery. The advantages to this robot was its small size, accuracy and lack of fatigue for the surgeon. In the 1990s, computer-controlled surgical devices began to emerge, enabling greater precision and control in surgical procedures. One of the most significant advancements in this period was the da Vinci Surgical System, which was approved by the FDA for use in surgical procedures in 2000 (Intuitive Surgical, 2021). The da Vinci system uses robotic arms to manipulate surgical instruments, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy and control. In 1992, the ROBODOC was introduced and revolutionized orthopedic surgery by being able to assist with hip replacement surgeries. The latter was the first surgical robot that was approved by the FDA in 2008. The ROBODOC from Integrated Surgical Systems (working closely with IBM) could mill out precise fittings in the femur for hip replacement. The purpose of the ROBODOC was to replace the previous method of carving out a femur for an implant, the use of a mallet and broach/rasp. Further development of robotic systems was carried out by SRI International and Intuitive Surgical with the introduction of the da Vinci Surgical System and Computer Motion with the AESOP and the ZEUS robotic surgical system. The first robotic surgery took place at The Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio under the direction of Robert E. Michler. AESOP was a breakthrough in robotic surgery when introduced in 1994, as it was the first laparoscopic camera holder to be approved by the FDA. NASA initially funded the company that produces AESOP, Computer Motion, due to its goal to create a robotic arm that can be used in space, but this project ended up becoming a camera used in laparoscopic procedures. Voice control was then added in 1996 with the AESOP 2000 and seven degrees of freedom to mimic a human hand was added in 1998 with the AESOP 3000. ZEUS was introduced commercially in 1998, and started the idea of telerobotics or telepresence surgery where the surgeon is at a distance from the robot on a console and operates on the patient. ZEUS was first used during a gynecological surgery in 1997 to reconnect Fallopian tubes in Cleveland Ohio, a beating heart coronary artery bypass graft in October 1999, and the Lindbergh Operation, which was a cholecystectomy performed remotely in September 2001. In 2003, ZEUS made its most prominent mark in cardiac surgery after successfully harvesting the left internal mammary arteries in 19 patients, all of which had very successful clinical outcomes. The original telesurgery robotic system that the da Vinci was based on was developed at Stanford Research Institute International in Menlo Park with grant support from DARPA and NASA. A demonstration of an open bowel anastomosis was given to the Association of Military Surgeons of the US. Although the telesurgical robot was originally intended to facilitate remotely performed surgery in the battlefield to reduce casualties and to be used in other remote environments, it turned out to be more useful for minimally invasive on-site surgery. The patents for the early prototype were sold to Intuitive Surgical in Mountain View, California. The da Vinci senses the surgeon's hand movements and translates them electronically into scaled-down micro-movements to manipulate the tiny proprietary instruments. It also detects and filters out any tremors in the surgeon's hand movements, so that they are not duplicated robotically. The camera used in the system provides a true stereoscopic picture transmitted to a surgeon's console. Compared to the ZEUS, the da Vinci robot is attached to trocars to the surgical table, and can imitate the human wrist. In 2000, the da Vinci obtained FDA approval for general laparoscopic procedures and became the first operative surgical robot in the US. Examples of using the da Vinci system include the first robotically assisted heart bypass (performed in Germany) in May 1998, and the first performed in the United States in September 1999; and the first all-robotic-assisted kidney transplant, performed in January 2009. The da Vinci Si was released in April 2009 and initially sold for $1.75 million. In 2005, a surgical technique was documented in canine and cadaveric models called the transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the da Vinci robot surgical system as it was the only FDA-approved robot to perform head and neck surgery. In 2006, three patients underwent resection of the tongue using this technique. The results were more clear visualization of the cranial nerves, lingual nerves, and lingual artery, and the patients had a faster recovery to normally swallowing. In May 2006 the first artificial intelligence doctor-conducted unassisted robotic surgery was on a 34-year-old male to correct heart arrhythmia. The results were rated as better than an above-average human surgeon. The machine had a database of 10,000 similar operations, and so, in the words of its designers, was "more than qualified to operate on any patient". In August 2007, Dr. Sijo Parekattil of the Robotics Institute and Center for Urology (Winter Haven Hospital and University of Florida) performed the first robotic-assisted microsurgery procedure denervation of the spermatic cord for chronic testicular pain. In February 2008, Dr. Mohan S. Gundeti of the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital performed the first robotic pediatric neurogenic bladder reconstruction. On 12 May 2008, the first image-guided MR-compatible robotic neurosurgical procedure was performed at University of Calgary by Dr. Garnette Sutherland using the NeuroArm. In June 2008, the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) presented a robotic system for minimally invasive surgery, the MiroSurge. In September 2010, the Eindhoven University of Technology announced the development of the Sofie surgical system, the first surgical robot to employ force feedback. In September 2010, the first robotic operation at the femoral vasculature was performed at the University Medical Centre Ljubljana by a team led by Borut Geršak. In 2019 the Versius Surgical Robotic System was launched and is a rival of the Da Vinci surgical system and claims to be more flexible and versatile, having independent modular arms which are "quick and easy to set up". The small-scale design means that it is suitable for virtually any operating room and can be operated at either a standing or a sitting position. Uses Ophthalmology Ophthalmology is still part of the frontier for robotic-assisted surgeries. However, there are a couple of robotic systems that are capable of successfully performing surgeries. PRECEYES Surgical System is being used for vitreoretinal surgeries. This is a single arm robot, that is tele manipulated by a surgeon. This system attaches to the head of the operating room table and provides surgeons with increased precision with the help of the intuitive motion controller. Preceyes is the only robotic instrument to be CE certified. Some other companies like Forsight Robotics, Acusurgical that raised 5.75 M€ (France), and Horizon (US) are working in this field. The da Vinci Surgical System, though not specifically designed for ophthalmic procedures, uses telemanipulation to perform pterygium repairs and ex-vivo corneal surgeries. Heart Some examples of heart surgery being assisted by robotic surgery systems include: Atrial septal defect repair – the repair of a hole between the two upper chambers of the heart, Mitral valve repair – the repair of the valve that prevents blood from regurgitating back into the upper heart chambers during contractions of the heart, Coronary artery bypass – rerouting of blood supply by bypassing blocked arteries that provide blood to the heart. Thoracic Robotic surgery has become more widespread in thoracic surgery for mediastinal pathologies, pulmonary pathologies and more recently complex esophageal surgery. The da Vinci Xi system is used for lung and mediastinal mass resection. This minimally invasive approach as a comparable alternative to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and the standard open thoracic surgery. Although VATS is the less expensive option, the robotic-assisted approach offers benefits such as 3D visualizations with seven degrees of freedom and improved dexterity while having equivalent perioperative outcomes. ENT The first successful robot-assisted cochlear implantation in a person took place in Bern, Switzerland in 2017. Surgical robots have been developed for use at various stages of cochlear implantation, including drilling through the mastoid bone, accessing the inner ear and inserting the electrode into the cochlea. Advantages of robot-assisted cochlear implantation include improved accuracy, resulting in fewer mistakes during electrode insertion and better hearing outcomes for patients. The surgeon uses image-guided surgical planning to program the robot based on the patient's individual anatomy. This helps the implant team to predict where the contacts of the electrode array will be located within the cochlea, which can assist with audio processor fitting post-surgery. The surgical robots also allow surgeons to reach the inner ear in a minimally invasive way. Challenges that still need to be addressed include safety, time, efficiency and cost. Surgical robots have also been shown to be useful for electrode insertion with pediatric patients. Gastrointestinal Multiple types of procedures have been performed with either the 'Zeus' or da Vinci robot systems, including bariatric surgery and gastrectomy for cancer. Surgeons at various universities initially published case series demonstrating different techniques and the feasibility of GI surgery using the robotic devices. Specific procedures have been more fully evaluated, specifically esophageal fundoplication for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux and Heller myotomy for the treatment of achalasia. Robot-assisted pancreatectomies have been found to be associated with "longer operating time, lower estimated blood loss, a higher spleen-preservation rate, and shorter hospital stay[s]" than laparoscopic pancreatectomies; there was "no significant difference in transfusion, conversion to open surgery, overall complications, severe complications, pancreatic fistula, severe pancreatic fistula, ICU stay, total cost, and 30-day mortality between the two groups." Gynecology The first report of robotic surgery in gynecology was published in 1999 from the Cleveland Clinic. The adoption of robotic surgery has contributed to the increase in minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic disease. Gynecologic procedures may take longer with robot-assisted surgery and the rate of complications may be higher, but there are not enough high-quality studies to know at the present time. In the United States, robotic-assisted hysterectomy for benign conditions was shown to be more expensive than conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy in 2015, with no difference in overall rates of complications. This includes the use of the da Vinci surgical system in benign gynecology and gynecologic oncology. Robotic surgery can be used to treat fibroids, abnormal periods, endometriosis, ovarian tumors, uterine prolapse, and female cancers. Using the robotic system, gynecologists can perform hysterectomies, myomectomies, and lymph node biopsies. The Hominis robotic system developed by Momentis Surgical™ is aimed to provide a robotic platform for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (Notes) for myomectomy through the vagina. A 2017 review of surgical removal of the uterus and cervix for early cervical cancer robotic and laparoscopic surgery resulted in similar outcomes with respect to the cancer. Bone Robots are used in orthopedic surgery. ROBODOC is the first active robotic system that performs some of the surgical actions in a total hip arthroplasty (THA). It is programmed preoperatively using data from computer tomography (CT) scans. This allows for the surgeon to choose the optimal size and design for the replacement hip. Acrobot and Rio are semi-active robotic systems that are used in THA. It consists of a drill bit that is controlled by the surgeon however the robotic system does not allow any movement outside the predetermined boundaries. Mazor X is used in spinal surgeries to assist surgeons with placing pedicle screw instrumentation. Inaccuracy when placing a pedicle screw can result in neurovascular injury or construct failure. Mazor X functions by using templating imaging to locate itself to the target location of where the pedicle screw is needed. Spine Robotic devices started to be used in minimally invasive spine surgery starting in the mid-2000s. As of 2014, there were too few randomized clinical trials to judge whether robotic spine surgery is more or less safe than other approaches. As of 2019, the application of robotics in spine surgery has mainly been limited to pedicle screw insertion for spinal fixation. In addition, the majority of studies on robot-assisted spine surgery have investigated lumbar or lumbosacral vertebrae only. Studies on use of robotics for placing screws in the cervical and thoracic vertebrae are limited. Transplant surgery The first fully robotic kidney transplantations were performed in the late 2000s. It may allow kidney transplantations in people who are obese who could not otherwise have the procedure. Weight loss however is the preferred initial effort. General surgery With regards to robotic surgery, this type of procedure is currently best suited for single-quadrant procedures, in which the operations can be performed on any one of the four quadrants of the abdomen. Cost disadvantages are applied with procedures such as a cholecystectomy and fundoplication, but are suitable opportunities for surgeons to advance their robotic surgery skills. Urology Robotic surgery in the field of urology has become common, especially in the United States. There is inconsistent evidence of benefits compared to standard surgery to justify the increased costs. Some have found tentative evidence of more complete removal of cancer and fewer side effects from surgery for prostatectomy. In 2000, the first robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was performed. Robotic surgery has also been utilized in radical cystectomies. A 2013 review found less complications and better short term outcomes when compared to open technique. Pediatrics Pediatric procedures are also benefiting from robotic surgical systems. The smaller abdominal size in pediatric patients limits the viewing field in most urology procedures. The robotic surgical systems help surgeons overcome these limitations. Robotic technology provides assistance in performing Pyeloplasty - alternative to the conventional open dismembered pyeloplasty (Anderson-Hynes). Pyeloplasty is the most common robotic-assisted procedures in children. Ureteral reimplantation - alternative to the open intravesical or extravesical surgery. Ureteroureterostomy - alternative to the transperitoneal approach. Nephrectomy and heminephrectomy - Traditionally done with laparoscopy, it is not likely that a robotic procedure offers significant advantage due to its high cost. Comparison to traditional methods Major advances aided by surgical robots have been remote surgery, minimally invasive surgery and unmanned surgery. Due to robotic use, the surgery is done with precision, miniaturization, smaller incisions; decreased blood loss, less pain, and quicker healing time. Articulation beyond normal manipulation and three-dimensional magnification help to result in improved ergonomics. Due to these techniques, there is a reduced duration of hospital stays, blood loss, transfusions, and use of pain medication. The existing open surgery technique has many flaws such as limited access to the surgical area, long recovery time, long hours of operation, blood loss, surgical scars, and marks. The robot's costs range from $1 million to $2.5 million for each unit, and while its disposable supply cost is normally $1,500 per procedure, the cost of the procedure is higher. Additional surgical training is needed to operate the system. Numerous feasibility studies have been done to determine whether the purchase of such systems are worthwhile. As it stands, opinions differ dramatically. Surgeons report that, although the manufacturers of such systems provide training on this new technology, the learning phase is intensive and surgeons must perform 150 to 250 procedures to become adept in their use. During the training phase, minimally invasive operations can take up to twice as long as traditional surgery, leading to operating room tie-ups and surgical staffs keeping patients under anesthesia for longer periods. Patient surveys indicate they chose the procedure based on expectations of decreased morbidity, improved outcomes, reduced blood loss and less pain. Higher expectations may explain higher rates of dissatisfaction and regret. Compared with other minimally invasive surgery approaches, robot-assisted surgery gives the surgeon better control over the surgical instruments and a better view of the surgical site. In addition, surgeons no longer have to stand throughout the surgery and do not get tired as quickly. Naturally occurring hand tremors are filtered out by the robot's computer software. Finally, the surgical robot can continuously be used by rotating surgery teams. Laparoscopic camera positioning is also significantly steadier with less inadvertent movements under robotic controls than compared to human assistance. There are some issues in regards to current robotic surgery usage in clinical applications. There is a lack of haptics in some robotic systems currently in clinical use, which means there is no force feedback, or touch feedback. No interaction between the instrument and the patient is felt. However, recently the Senhance robotic system by Asensus Surgical was developed with haptic feedback in order to improve the interaction between the surgeon and the tissue. The robots can also be very large, have instrumentation limitations, and there may be issues with multi-quadrant surgery as current devices are solely used for single-quadrant application. Critics of the system, including the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, say there is a steep learning curve for surgeons who adopt the use of the system and that there's a lack of studies that indicate long-term results are superior to results following traditional laparoscopic surgery. Articles in the newly created Journal of Robotic Surgery tend to report on one surgeon's experience. Complications related to robotic surgeries range from converting the surgery to open, re-operation, permanent injury, damage to viscera and nerve damage. From 2000 to 2011, out of 75 hysterectomies done with robotic surgery, 34 had permanent injury, and 49 had damage to the viscera. Prostatectomies were more prone to permanent injury, nerve damage and visceral damage as well. Very minimal surgeries in a variety of specialties had to actually be converted to open or be re-operated on, but most did sustain some kind of damage or injury. For example, out of seven coronary artery bypass grafting, one patient had to go under re-operation. It is important that complications are captured, reported and evaluated to ensure the medical community is better educated on the safety of this new technology. If something was to go wrong in a robot-assisted surgery, it is difficult to identify culpability, and the safety of the practice will influence how quickly and widespread these practices are used. One drawback of the use of robotic surgery is the risk of mechanical failure of the system and instruments. A study from July 2005 to December 2008 was conducted to analyze the mechanical failures of the da Vinci Surgical System at a single institute. During this period, a total of 1797 robotic surgeries were performed used 4 da Vinci surgical systems. There were 43 cases (2.4%) of mechanical failure, including 24 (1.3%) cases of mechanical failure or malfunction and 19 (1.1%) cases of instrument malfunction. Additionally, one open and two laparoscopic conversions (0.17%) were performed. Therefore, the chance of mechanical failure or malfunction was found to be rare, with the rate of converting to an open or laparoscopic procedure very low. There are also current methods of robotic surgery being marketed and advertised online. Removal of a cancerous prostate has been a popular treatment through internet marketing. Internet marketing of medical devices are more loosely regulated than pharmaceutical promotions. Many sites that claim the benefits of this type of procedure had failed to mention risks and also provided unsupported evidence. There is an issue with government and medical societies promotion a production of balanced educational material. In the US alone, many websites promotion robotic surgery fail to mention any risks associated with these types of procedures, and hospitals providing materials largely ignore risks, overestimate benefits and are strongly influenced by the manufacturer.

44051711	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah%20Nelson	Deborah Nelson	Deborah Nelson is a Pulitzer prize-winning freelance journalist at Reuters and the Associate Professor of Investigative Reporting at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland. Nelson earned her B.S. in Journalism from Northern Illinois University and her J.D. from the DePaul University College of Law in 1987. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Maryland in 2006, she was the Washington investigations editor for the Los Angeles Times, the national investigative team reporter for The Washington Post, and a reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times. In 1997, Nelson won the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for her investigative work for the Seattle Times, exposing “widespread corruption and inequities in the federally-sponsored housing program for Native Americans, which inspired much-needed reforms.” In 2008, she received critical acclaim for her book, The War Behind Me: Vietnam Veterans Confront the Truth about U.S. War Crimes, which investigates declassified Army papers on Vietnam-era war crimes and uncovers the lives of soldiers who were witness to the crimes. Nelson currently teaches courses on investigative reporting and media law and is on the advisory boards of the Fund for Investigative Journalism and the Investigative Reporting Workshop. Investigative Journalism As an investigative journalist, Nelson has covered a wide range of topics, centered on exposing problems in the environment, the health industry, income inequality, and human rights violations. Her news publications also have addressed issues of misconduct in the gene therapy field and medical research in developing countries. Pulitzer Prize In 1997, Deborah Nelson shared the Pulitzer Prize with Eric Nalder and Alex Tizon for their The Seattle Times series that identified critical problems in the federal government's Indian Housing Program. The series, titled Tribal housing: From Deregulation to Disgrace, exposes that "Across the nation - in tribe after tribe, state after state - the Indian-housing program is riddled with fraud, abuse and mismanagement." The series concludes with a five-point list of recommendations for a more effective tribal-housing program, which include the strict enforcement of rules, a mandate that requires that the bulk of federal funding to be channeled to low-income households that need assistance the most, and the creation of constraints that will prevent disproportionately large expenditures on small families. Nelson's series was crucial in initiating reform in the management of the tribal housing program. Additionally, Nelson also co-edited Pulitzer Prize-winning series for The Washington Post, which covered the death of 229 children in the District of Columbia, and for the Los Angeles Times on the death of 45 Marine pilots in Harrier jet accidents.

2999529	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgefest	Edgefest	Edgefest was an annual outdoor rock festival in Canada. It was founded by staff members of Toronto radio station CFNY-FM. From 1987 to 2015, the festival was held every year in the summer (except for 2007). The festival was most frequently held on Canada Day at Molson Park in Barrie, Ontario or a venue in Toronto. The festival featured predominantly Canadian rock bands. During its 29-year operation, the festival featured more than 300 performers. As of 2015, it was the longest running rock festival in Canada. History Creation, early years (1987–1989) The festival was created in 1987 by CFNY-FM staffers Scot Turner, Kneale Mann, Alan Cross, Earl Veale, and Phil Evans to celebrate the station’s tenth anniversary and the 120th Canada Day. A lineup, including Blue Rodeo, The Pursuit of Happiness, Teenage Head, and the first foreign act, The Saints, was soon arranged, but finding an appropriate location proved to be difficult. A farmer's field in Oakville, Ontario was considered, but would have involved complications with staging, electricity, bathrooms and parking. Other suggestions included Mosport International Raceway and Cayuga Speedway, but as they were unavailable, Molson Park in Barrie was chosen. Organizers worried that fans would not want to drive from Toronto to the relatively unknown location in Barrie (approximately 90 km [55 mi]), but after purchasing tickets through Pizza Pizza locations for just $1.02 per ticket, 25,000 people arrived for the inaugural Edgefest on July 1, 1987. Although the 1987 festival was supposed to be a one-off event, its success and positive feedback encouraged the organizers to do it again the next year. The 1988 edition was sold out, and brought over 32,000 people to Molson Park. Attendees paid $3 each for admission. The lineup featured mostly Canadian bands, including the first of many appearances by 54-40, and three foreign acts. In 1989, in spite of competing summer weekend activities and Highway 400 leading up to Molson Park being jammed both from both Cottage country and Toronto, the festival was once again sold out. That year's lineup included Sass Jordan, Sarah McLachlan and The Tragically Hip. Transition period (1990–1992) Between 1989 and the end of 1990, CFNY underwent a change in management, which brought with it a change in format. While the festival did go on that year, and once again sold out Molson Park, many people came in order to protest the new programming policies (in fact, someone even hired a plane to tow a protest banner over the park). However, the show went on glitch-free, and featured 54–40, The Tragically Hip, The Pursuit of Happiness, The Grapes of Wrath and The Skydiggers. By the fifth show, in 1991, the station owners had again been replaced, and the format of both show and station had stabilized. That year's lineup featured the Violent Femmes, who were the first foreign act to perform at the festival in two years. That year's lineup also featured Blue Rodeo and the Crash Test Dummies. For the 1992 edition, Molson had planned "The Great Canadian Party", a series of Molson-sponsored concerts, simultaneously running across Canada on Canada Day 1992. However, the two companies came to an agreement to share the show, with half the bands booked by the Edge (including 54–40, The Tragically Hip, and Leslie Spit Treeo) and the other half booked by Molson (including Sass Jordan, Amanda Marshall and Spinal Tap). Ontario Place Forum (1993–1994) In 1993, Molson needed the whole park for their own purposes, so the festival relocated to the Ontario Place Forum in Toronto. 1993 was the first year the festival was officially called "Edgefest", a name that stuck with the festival for every year after. It was also the first year to have more than one day of concerts, taking place on July 1 and 2. Day 1 of the festival included The Odds, The Watchmen and Rheostatics. Day 2 featured the first Canadian performance by Radiohead. The 1994 edition of Edgefest also took place at the Ontario Place Forum and featured three international groups; The Proclaimers, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and The Lemonheads. This show was among the last events held at the Forum, which was torn down shortly after and replaced with the Molson Amphitheatre. Molson Amphitheatre, return to Molson Park (1995–1996) Once the new Molson Amphitheatre was built, Molson offered it to Edgefest for three dates in 1995. The first was on the May long weekend, May 21, 1995. About 9,000 people came to see Blur and Elastica, during the height of Britpop. It was also an early major appearance for Our Lady Peace, who recently had success in Canada with their hit singles "Starseed" and "Naveed". Ned's Atomic Dustbin also performed for the last time before breaking up. 20,000 people came for the annual Canada Day edition, which featured an all-Canadian lineup including The Odds, Treble Charger, The Watchmen, hHead, Junkhouse and Crash Vegas. The third Edgefest date of the year occurred on August 5 and had a smaller crowd. Most of the performers were Canadian, but a pre-fame Sugar Ray was also featured. This concert was billed as Sloan's farewell performance. (The band re-formed not long after.) The festival's tenth incarnation took place back at Molson Park on June 30, 1996. It was the first year in the festival's history that there wasn't a show held on Canada Day. The show was headlined by The Tea Party and sold out with 35,000 people attending the festival. Cross-Canada tour (1997–1999) In 1997, it was announced that Edgefest 1997 would be held across Canada on an eight-city tour. In May 1997, a ninth Edgefest date in London, Ontario was added to the tour. Beginning on June 26, the festival toured through London, Barrie, Montréal, Quebec; Ottawa, Ontario; Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; Edmonton, Alberta; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; and concluded in Winnipeg, Manitoba on September 1, 1997. 25 bands performed during the tour, with Collective Soul, I Mother Earth, Our Lady Peace, The Tea Party, Finger Eleven, Glueleg and The Age of Electric performing at each show (though The Age of Electric missed the Ottawa show due to their gear arriving too late to the venue). 35,000 people attended the Barrie show. 13,000 attended the Montreal show. 20,000 attended the Ottawa show. 23,000 attended the Calgary show. An estimated 27,000 attended the Edmonton show. 18,000 attended the Winnipeg show. The 1998 Edgefest tour was similar, with eight shows in eight cities. The lineups varied between the cities, but each show featured American bands Foo Fighters, Green Day, and Creed and Canadian bands Econoline Crush, The Killjoys, Matthew Good Band, Sloan, The Tea Party and The Watchmen. The Barrie show again sold out with 35,000 attendees. The Calgary show had an increase in attendance from the previous year with 27,000 attendees. However, both Ottawa and Edmonton had a decline in attendees from the previous year. The 1999 tour was headlined by Hole and Moist. Other performers on the tour included Big Wreck, Gob, Len, Rascalz, Serial Joe, Silverchair and Wide Mouth Mason. Because the July 1 show in Barrie sold out in less than a week, a second show was added in Barrie. While the first Barrie show had an attendance of 35,000, the rest of the shows on the tour had varied attendances between 13,000 and 20,000. Final Molson Park shows (2000–2003) In 2000, Edgefest went back to having just one show on Canada Day at Molson Park. The show was headlined by Creed and also featured Filter, Goldfinger, Headstones and Limblifter performing on the main stage. Bands playing the side stage that year included 3 Doors Down and Nickelback. 35,000 people attended the year's show. In 2001, Edgefest held the traditional Canada Day show at Molson Park, which was headlined by Tool. Due to a late start, the band played a very short set, angering fans. Edgefest 2001 also featured the first appearance of Billy Talent at the festival. August of that year featured an Edgefest tour which was headlined by Blink 182 and also featured New Found Glory and Sum 41. Locations of the tour included Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City and Montreal. For the next sold out Edgefest in 2002, emergency crews were busy all day treating sunstroke, heat exhaustion, and dehydration. Musically, Nickelback moved up from the side stage to headliners; other bands included Cake (who left the stage 20 minutes into their set after being pelted with bottles), Thirty Seconds to Mars, Default, Simple Plan and Theory of a Deadman. There were also several Edgefest II dates across the country, including shows in Grand Bend and Halifax. In 2003, there was an outbreak of SARS in Toronto. Bands were nervous to come play there, and insurance companies refused to underwrite tours, fearing lawsuits in case people became infected at a show. Edgefest '03 was delayed until the crisis passed and took place on September 6. The show was billed as "The Last Bash in Barrie" because of plans to relocate the festival to Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre the following year. The lineup for the festival included The Tragically Hip, Our Lady Peace, Sloan, Stereophonics, Thornley and Fefe Dobson. Molson Amphitheatre (2004–2006) Edgefest 2004 at Molson Amphitheatre featured Finger Eleven and Good Charlotte; Billy Talent moved up from their previous Edgefest performance in 2002 to the main stage. Other bands featured included Alexisonfire, Jet, The Salads and Something Corporate. Edgefest 2005 was headlined by Billy Talent, and also included Coheed and Cambria, Jakalope and Rise Against. That year for the first time there was a side stage designated for a record label, Underground Operations, on which Bombs Over Providence, Closet Monster and Hostage Life, among others, played. As 2006 was the twentieth year of Edgefest, two shows were scheduled. The first, billed as Edgefest I, took place on July 1. Headliners Our Lady Peace brought fans on stage, encouraged them to use their cameras (use of which was always prohibited) and even allowed them to record an unreleased song, Kiss on the Mouth. Singer Raine Maida asked for a fan's audio recorder and sang into it, as well as into the microphone, during that song. Other bands featured included Keane, Mobile, Neverending White Lights and Hot Hot Heat. On July 16, Edgefest II took place. It had three stages – the main stage, the Edge Next Big Thing side stage, and the Bedlam Society/Dine Alone Stage, another record label-based stage. Bands performing at Edgefest II included Yellowcard, The All-American Rejects, Story of the Year and The Miniatures. Downsview Park (2008–2013) After there being no Edgefest in 2007, Edgefest returned on July 12, 2008. For the first time since the festival's beginning, the festival was not held at Molson Park nor the Ontario Place Forum/Molson Amphitheatre grounds. Instead, the festival was held at Downsview Park. The 2008 edition featured headlining band Linkin Park and also included Stone Temple Pilots, Sam Roberts and The Bravery. Edgefest 2009 was held on June 20 at Downsview Park. The festival organizers were working with a reduced budget, and the ticket prices were lowered. Billy Talent were the headliners. Other main stage acts included AFI, Alexisonfire, k-os, The Stills, Arkells, and Metric. In 2010, 102.1 The Edge opted to forgo a day-long festival for several concerts throughout the summer months called "The Edge Summer Concert Series". Edgefest 2011 at Downsview Park featured Rise Against, A Perfect Circle and The Weakerthans. EdgeFest 2012 at Downsview Park featured Billy Talent, Death from above 1979, Silversun Pickups, The Sheepdogs, Young the Giant, and Mushy Callahan. Edgefest 2013 was headlined by The Lumineers. Echo Beach (2014–2015) In 2014 and 2015, Edgefest was put on as a three-date concert series at Echo Beach in Toronto. There has not been an Edgefest concert in any of the following years, and the festival is presumed to be defunct. Alan Cross has stated that no suitable venue, the weak Canadian dollar, and too much competition from other festivals driving up band prices as reasons why Edgefest has been discontinued.

70803614	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abarth%203000%20SP	Abarth 3000 SP	The Abarth 3000 Sport Prototipo was a sports car prototype made by Abarth & C. in Turin, Italy. It was the first Abarth with an engine with a capacity of more than 2-liters, after an already finished 6-liter twelve-cylinder from 1967 had become useless before it could be used due to a change in the regulations. The displacement for sports car prototypes was limited to 3 liters and for sports cars to 5 liters. History and technology The first Abarth model built according to the new regulations was the SE 013, a Spider or open two-seater, in 1968. The basis for the engine was a 2-liter V8 presented in 1966, the cylinders of which had been bored out to 3-liter displacement. This eight-cylinder with two valves per cylinder and four Weber twin carburetors developed 350 hp (257 kW) at 8200 revolutions per minute. The engine is installed behind the driver in the middle of the vehicle in front of a five-speed gearbox. The gear lever to the right of the driver is guided in a backdrop. First race in 1968 This car was registered for the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans but withdrawn after the race was moved from the original date in June to late autumn due to possible strikes caused by student unrest. This could be due to technical difficulties, which had probably emerged in the meantime, or the concern that the engine power would not be sufficient, even though it corresponded to that of the Porsche 908 at least according to the factory specifications. The first use of the Abarth 3000 SP was in October 1968 at the airfield races “Preis von Wien” in Aspern and “Preis von Tirol” in Innsbruck. Peter Schetty won both races with little serious competition from Arturo Merzario, who was also in an Abarth. 1969 season with revised bodies It wasn't until the second half of the 1969 season that races started again, but not championship races. In the 500 km race in Imola, Abarth fielded two 3000s with different bodies with the designations SE 015 and SE 016. Both cars were fast in practice and only inferior to Jackie Ickx's Mirage, but Johannes Ortner was unable to race after a defect and Merzario was eliminated after 16 laps. In October 1969, Merzario and Ortner took second and third place overall in the “Preis von Tirol”, and Merzario won the racing sports car class with a displacement of more than two liters. Toine Hezemans won the sparse “International AvD Circuit Race” in Zolder on Abarth 3000 SP, Ortner came third. Failure at the 1970 Targa Florio In May 1970, Abarth competed with the 3-liter car for the first time in a race of the brand world championship, the Targa Florio. However, Mario Casoni had an accident during training, so only one car entered the race, and the Merzario / Ortner team retired after just two laps with gearbox damage. Won the European Hill Climb Championship in 1971 The Abarth 3000 was further developed in 1971. The tubular frame became narrower, and the body smoother. Most of the changes concerned the engine. It received two camshafts per cylinder bank, Lucas fuel injection instead of the carburetor, and the electronic ignition system "Dinoplex". This increased the output to 365 hp (268 kW) at 8400 revolutions per minute. However, this puts Abarth below most competing vehicles in terms of engine performance. Two body variants were planned, the type SE 020 with a flat windshield and the type SE 022. The participation in the brand world championship originally planned with the SE 020 was canceled, while Ortner contested the European mountain championship with the SE 022 . He won the races in Dobratsch, Rossfeld, and Cesana-Sestriere; He finished second on Mont Ventoux and Trento Bondone and third in Ollon-Villars.

18958234	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First%20Baptist%20Church%20%28Stoneham%2C%20Massachusetts%29	First Baptist Church (Stoneham, Massachusetts)	The First Baptist Church is a historic church building at 457 Main Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts, United States, housing an evangelical congregation. The church was built in 1892 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is one central Stoneham's three 19th-century churches, and is a fine local example of Queen Anne architecture. Description and history The First Baptist Church is set on the west side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 28), at the northwest corner with Hancock Street, just south of the town's central business district. It is a large brick building with a roughly rectangular footprint running parallel to Main Street. The roof is gabled, with cross-gables facing Main Street, and a two-story tower projecting from the main block between them. The gable ends are finished in wood shingles. The tower is in three stages, with an entry at the first level, a tall belfry stage with paired round-arch windows, and a four-sided steeple at the top. The Baptist congregation was established in Stoneham in 1870, and met in a chapel on Common Street until this edifice was built in 1892 on the former estate of one of Stoneham's leading shoe manufacturers. The building is relatively little-altered since then; notably, its original slate roof has been replaced by asphalt shingles. Visiting information There are a variety of activities hosted at the church in addition to the Sunday morning worship service. Visitors are always welcome - Sunday service starts at 10 am during the summer, and 11 am during the rest of the year.

38848512	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagpur%E2%80%93Bhusawal%20section	Nagpur–Bhusawal section	The Nagpur–Bhusawal section (railway track) is part of the Howrah–Nagpur–Mumbai line (alternatively known as Mumbai–Kolkata line / Bombay–Calcutta line) and connects Nagpur and Bhusawal both in the Indian state of Maharashtra. This section also has a number of branch lines. Part of one of the major trunk lines in the country, Nagpur–Bhusawal section passes through a section of the Deccan Plateau. The main line crosses Nagpur, Wardha, Amravati, Akola, and Buldhana districts of Vidarbha region and Jalgaon district of Khandesh region. History The Great Indian Peninsula Railway extended the line from Bhusawal to Nagpur in 1867. The -long, gauge Achalpur–Murtajapur–Yavatmal line, known as the Shakuntala Railway was built by a British firm, Killik Nixon & Company, in 1903, to carry cotton from the interior of Vidarbha to the Howrah–Nagpur–Mumbai line at Murtajapur. The line, run by the Central Provinces Railways Company, India's only operational private railway company listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, The line is under conversion to broad gauge. The -long, narrow-gauge railway was built from Pulgaon to Arvi by Central Provinces Railway in 1917. This line is also under conversion to broad gauge. The -long, Butibori–Umrer branch line linking Umrer Coalfield to the main line was established in 1965. The newly laid Narkhed–Amravati branch line was opened in 2012. There was a -long -wide metre-gauge line from Jaipur to Secunderabad via Akola. Most of the part of this line has been converted to broad gauge. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway was taken over by the state in 1925. In 1951, the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, the Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway, the Scindia State Railways and the Dholpur Railways were merged to form Central Railway. The entire main line is electrified. Electrification of the railways in the region started in 1968–69 and continued up to Nandura in 1988–89. The Nandura-Badnera sector was electrified in 1989–90. The Badnera–Wardha sector was electrified in 1990–91. Badnera–Amaravati sector was electrified in 1993–94, Jalamb–Khamgaon and Butibori–Umrer in 1994–95. In 1910, the District Gazetteer of Buldhana gave an account of the railway line and its importance from the point of view of trade: Loco sheds There are electric locomotive sheds at Ajni and Bhusawal on this line and a narrow gauge diesel loco shed at Murtazapur. Ajni loco shed has WAG-7, WAG-9,WAP-7 and WAG-9I locos. Bhusawal loco shed has WAM-4, WAP-4, WAG-5, WAG-7 and WCM-6 locos. Workshops Central Railway has three workshops on this line. Nagpur has a workshop for upkeep of passenger coaches and Ajni has facilities for repair of goods wagons. Bhusawal has a workshop for repairs of locos and wagons. Economy This line passes through the cotton producing areas of Vidarbha. Mahagenco has two major power stations on this route – the 500MW Paras Thermal Power Station and the 920 MW Bhusawal Thermal Power Station. Reliance Power has a 600 mW thermal power station at Butibori. Coal-based thermal power stations consume large quantities of coal. For example, the Bhusawal Thermal Power Station consumed 2,400,000 tonnes of coal in 2006–07, and the Paras Thermal Power Station consumed 351,000 tonnes of coal in the same year. Around 80 per cent of the domestic coal supplies in India are meant for coal based thermal power plants and coal transportation forms 42 per cent of the total freight earnings of Indian railways. There are over 200 coal loading points across India. Coal is transported by rail to around 60 thermal power stations, 12 steel plants and 55 cement factories forming the major customers of coal. Speed and passenger movement The entire Howrah–Nagpur–Mumbai line is classified as a "Group A" line which can take speeds up to .

1157398	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%20%28Unix%29	Who (Unix)	The standard Unix command who displays a list of users who are currently logged into the computer. The who command is related to the command , which provides the same information but also displays additional data and statistics. History A command that displays the names of users logged in was first implemented within Multics. Later, it appeared in Version 1 Unix and became part of the X/Open Portability Guide since issue 2 of 1987. It was inherited into the first version of POSIX.1 and the Single Unix Specification. The version of who bundled in GNU coreutils was written by Joseph Arceneaux, David MacKenzie, and Michael Stone. Specification The Single UNIX Specification (SUS) specifies that who should list information about accessible users. The XSI extension also specifies that the data of the username, terminal, login time, process ID, and time since last activity occurred on the terminal, furthermore, an alternate system database used for user information can be specified as an optional argument to . The command can be invoked with the arguments am i or am I (so it is invoked as who am i or who am I), showing information about the current terminal only (see the command and the -m option below, of which this invocation is equivalent). Usage The SUS without extensions only specifies the following -m, -T, and -u options, all other options are specified in the XSI extension. -a, process the system database used for user information with the -b, -d, -l, -p, -r, -t, -T and -u. -b, show time when system was last rebooted -d, show zombie processes and details -H, show column headers -l, show terminals where a user can log in -m, show information about the current terminal only -p, show active processes -q, quick format, show only names and the number of all users logged on, disables all other options; equivalent to users command line utility -r, show runlevel of the init process. -s, (default) show only name, terminal, and time details -t, show when system clock was last changed -T, show details of each terminal in a standard format (see note in Examples section) -u, show idle time; XSI shows users logged in and displays information whether the terminal has been used recently or not Other Unix and Unix-like operating systems may add extra options. GNU includes a -i option behaving similarly to -u and a -w option displaying whether the user listed accepts messages (the SUS displays this when -T is specified), yet GNU who and BSD who both omit a number of the above options (such as -a, -b, -d, and others); GNU who instead uses -l to perform DNS lookups on hostnames listed. Output The SUS without extensions specifies that the output format is to be "implementation-defined". The XSI extension specifies a format, but notes that it is not fully specified; delimiters and field lengths are not precisely specified. Thus, the format of the output differs considerably among Unix implementations.

18317710	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Canal	The Canal	The Saintes Maries de la Mer Speed Canal, known to windsurfers as The Canal, is a man-made canal or trench near the French Mediterranean coastal town Saintes Maries de la Mer, built especially for speed record-breaking sailing by windsurfers. Background The Canal, also called "The French Trench" by the English-speaking community of windsurfers, is long and wide, in a west-northwest/east-southeast orientation designed to take advantage of the Marin and Mistral winds that blow in that location. In 1987, the idea of building a speed canal was thought up by British speed windsurfer Erik Beale and St Marie speed week organizer Michel Roussolet. The first version was 850 m long and it enabled Beale on 13 November 1988 to become the first sailor in history to officially break the 40-knot barrier, setting the Outright Speed Sailing Record of: 40.48 knots by British windsurfer Erik Beale in 1988. Early in the 1990s, the canal was extended to its final length of 1,100 m, and windsurfers in 1990, 1991, and 1993 set four consecutive Outright Speed Sailing Records on The Canal, measured over a 500-meter course: 42.91 by French windsurfer Pascal Maka in 1990 43.06 by French windsurfer Thierry Bielak in 1991 44.66 by French windsurfer Thierry Bielak in 1991 45.34 by French windsurfer Thierry Bielak in 1993 Later the same year (1993), The Outright record fell to the Australian sail craft Yellow Pages at * 46.62 knots sailing in the sheltered waters of sandy point, Australia ending the 7-year reign of the windsurfers. That record would stand for 11 years until the next onslaught of the windsurfers in the early 2000s: Three consecutive Outright Speed Sailing Records, measured on a 500-metre course, were set on The Canal by windsurfers in 2004, 2005 and 2008: 49.09 knots (90.91 km/h - 56.49 mph) by French windsurfer Antoine Albeau, in March 2008. The previous two records were held by the Irish-born windsurfer Finian Maynard, who competes for the British Virgin Islands, also on The Canal: A 48.70 knots record set on 10 April 2005, A 46.82 knots record (24.08 m/s or 53.88 mph) set on 13 November 2004. In October 2008, The Canal's leading position on the world sailing map was taken by the Lüderitz Speed Challenge in Namibia, when the "holy grail" 50-knot barrier of speed sailing was first broken by a kitesurfer.

5303501	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%20Tale%20of%20Winter	A Tale of Winter	A Tale of Winter (; released in the United Kingdom as A Winter's Tale) is a 1992 French drama film written and directed by Éric Rohmer, and starring Charlotte Véry, Frédéric van den Driessche, Hervé Furic and Michael Voletti. It is the second instalment in Rohmer's "Contes des quatre saisons" ("Tales of the Four Seasons") series, which also include A Tale of Springtime (1990), A Summer's Tale (1996) and Autumn Tale (1998). The film was entered into the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival. Synopsis Prologue During her summer holidays at the French coast, young Félicie falls in love and has a romantic relationship with a young and handsome cook named Charles. Unfortunately, Charles is planning to go work in the United States in the Fall. Before they leave on their separate ways, Félicie gives Charles her contact information at the train station. Nervous, and unsure of the address of the new development she is moving into, she writes the wrong town and consequently, they lose contact with each other. Main Synopsis 5 years later, Félicie is raising Charles' daughter, Élise, in Paris with her mother. It's the winter holiday season now and while still maintains the slim hope that one day she'll meet Charles again, she continues her daily life as a hair stylist in a salon managed by an older man, Maxence. We soon discover that Maxence and Félicie are having an affair, even though he is already in a long-term relationship. Concurrently, she also is having a relationship with a librarian named Loïc who is similar in age to Charles. As the time has progressed, Félicie knows that she needs to commit to one of these eligible suitors, though admitting she is not attracted to either of them. As an attempted final decision she decides to follow Maxence to the french city of Nevers where the salon franchise has a new managerial role waiting for him. On her arrival, there is no one there to meet Félicie and Élise at the station and begrudgingly has to make her own way to Maxence's new salon. Maxence is very matter-of-fact on her appearance and over time it becomes obvious that the relationship is viewed more as a working arrangement than romantic. While Félicie works, Élise languishes in the upstairs apartment and Maxence does not appear very fatherly or sympathetic. Between the spare accommodations and the lack of emotional support, Félicie decides the decision was a huge mistake days after her arrival. She announces her dissatisfaction and intent to leave Nevers. Maxence makes various half-hearted gestures to change her mind but it becomes clear that his interest was in her value only as an employee. After her return to Paris, she rekindles her relationship with Loïc. As usual, Félicie is quite frank about her lack of attraction to him. The couple often functions more as a brother-sister relationship but it seems healthy and better for Élise, who likes Loïc much more than Maxence. As an intellectual, Loïc is much better suited for Félicie, and they attend Shakepeare's The Winter's Tale, which has several ironical similarities to Félicie's circumstances in life. She is moved to tears by the character of Queen Hermione, and realizes that neither man is going to satisfy her romantically. On New Year's Day, she decides to just go home with Élise and not spend the evening with Loïc - again being quite frank and open about her lack of interest in him as a life partner. On the bus ride home, she sits across a couple. The man appears to recognize Félicie immediately and it is Charles. In fact, even Élise recognizes Charles from photos. After a brief conversation about how they lost contact with each other, Félicie spontaneously darts out of the bus. Charles chases after her and she explains that it's too stressful to see him with the other woman left on the bus. Charles explains that the woman was just a casual friend he sees in Paris and the family is reunited when Élise refers to him as "Papa." The movie ends on a high note as Félicie's adherence to faith and destiny is rewarded. The family is seen at New Year's Dinner with extended relatives and he fits in naturally. Cast Themes A watershed moment for Félicie in the film is the viewing of The Winter's Tale during her brief relationship with Loïc; specifically the predicament of Queen Hermione, who has been accused of having an illegitimate daughter with another man, is put on trial and flees to Bohemia. Hermione who perishes of a broken heart, is resurrected by the forgiveness of the King when he sees her statue begin to come alive. As a metaphor for Félicie's stunted life, Rohmer uses the play's plot of Hermione's statue to make a reference to Félicie's reawakening as a romantic and melting of her practical persona. Both play and movie use the miracle of the reunion as a final plot line. The scenes of both beach and winter are juxtaposed. The summer setting with bright colors, easy lifestyle representing a flourishing relationship. The city of Paris, in the dead of winter, represents the statue-gray, bundled up, restrained and a complete loss of romantic freedom. Reception On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 95% based on reviews from 22 critics, with an average rating of 7.8/10. Roger Ebert included A Tale of Winter in his "Great Movies" series in 2001, writing, "What pervades Rohmer's work is a faith in love—or, if not love, then in the right people finding each other for the right reasons. There is sadness in his work but not gloom." Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote: "At least part of the comic appeal of Mr. Rohmer's work is the complete confidence, clarity and decisiveness with which he dramatizes the utter confusion of his emotionally besieged heroines." Hal Hinson of The Washington Post called it "a small work, but nearly perfect."

He played for Heart of Midlothian, Woolwich Arsenal, New Brompton, Queens Park Rangers and Liverpool, and made a total of 45 appearances in The Football League, scoring 17 goals. Career White signed for Heart of Midlothian on 30 May 1896 and made his debut for the club in a friendly on 17 August against Leith Athletic in which he also scored. He made his league debut a month later on 19 September against Dundee and went on to make a further 2 league appearances. He scored his only other goal for Hearts on his last appearance for the club in a friendly against Blackburn Rovers on 26 April 1897. He was then sold to Woolwich Arsenal, playing in the Second Division, on 1 July 1897 and made his debut and also scored on 1 September against Grismby Town. Across his 3-year stay at the club, White made 39 league appearances and scored 16 times, including a hat-trick against Newton Heath on 3 December 1898. After playing his last match for Arsenal on 4 March 1899 against Small Heath, White signed for New Brompton, who were playing in the Southern League Division One, and made 3 appearances in the remaining season. On 7 September, White signed for Scottish team West Calder, before then signing on 2 November for Queens Park Rangers, who had just turned professional and were playing in the Southern League. He was part of the team that beat Wolverhampton Wanderers, who were playing in the First Division, 1-0 in the FA Cup in a first round replay on 31 January 1900. On 30 May 1901, White signed for Liverpool, but was ineligible to play until 1 September. He made his debut on 14 September against rivals Everton and he scored in the second minute, becoming the first Liverpool player to score on his debut in the Merseyside derby. This was a feat that was not matched until 117 years later, when Virgil van Dijk scored on 5 January 2018. White went on to make a further 5 appearances for Liverpool. White left Liverpool at the end of the season and signed for Dundee on 9 July 1902. On 2 May, he signed for Middlesbrough after initially wanting to sign for a London club.

Background It is located between Broad and Walcot Streets, which both merge onto Northgate Street. Located next to the Post Office Building, the south tower (referred to as the W tower) fronts Northgate street and is prominent on Bath's skyline. The current structure was designed by George Phillips Manners. It possesses a fine example of a Sweetland Organ. The Church of St Michael's is known as St Michael's Without—it being the first church to be found outside Bath's city walls when exiting from the North Gate. The parish itself was known as St Michael's with St Paul's. In 2013, with the closure of Holy Trinity Church Queen's Square, the parish boundary grew as the two parishes were merged under St Michael's. At this time, the parish reverted to its original name of St Michael's Without. From Mondays to Saturdays, the church plays host to a cafe serving hot drinks, cakes and snacks. Clergy The Revd Martin Lloyd Williams was rector of St Michael's from 1997 until January 2015, when he left to become Archdeacon of Brighton and Lewes. There is currently an interregnum. In November 2015, it was announced that the Revd Roger Driver would become the new incumbent in 2016. Medieval church The parish has been located here, outside the walls, since medieval times. It was outside the Northgate and would have been passed by wool merchants traveling on London Road. The area that would in Georgian times be called Bath New Town (not to be confused with neighboring Bathwick New Town) was known as St. Michael's. Georgian church Designed and constructed by craftsmen J. Harvey between 1734 and 1742, the structure featured an impressive dome and was half the size of the current Victorian structure. Victorian church "St. Michael, Broad Street. At the sharp corner with Walcot Street and in the point de vue up Northgate Street. The church is of medieval original and lay originally ante muros. The present church is of 1835–1837, by G. P. Manners. Its immediate predecessor dated from 1742 and had a dome (Collinson). Manner’s church displays a crazy W tower, tall and narrow with a huge group of three stepped lancet windowes, buttresses with the stepped-set offs of Wells, and at the top a tall octagonal open lantern with spire. The tower is flanked by polygonal porches. The sides have the same buttresses and the same group of lancets. – A "hall-church" inside, that is with aisles the same height as the nave.

Sutherland writing under the shared pseudonym of Rob Kidd. They detail the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow as a young man after the events of the Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow series and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom. The events in the books take place thirteen years before the film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Characters Captain Jack Sparrow - Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea and captain of the Black Pearl. Jack Sparrow is the youngest Pirate Lord ever to join the Brethren Court, approximately in his early to mid twenties. He is a flirtatious, charming trickster that would rather use words than physically fight, though is extremely skilled in both types of combat.

Jack's goal is to find all the vials of Shadow Gold, which will cure all of the burdens the Shadow Lord cast on him. Hector Barbossa - Sparrow's first mate, who later mutinies Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Competitive and critical of Jack, his plans to mutiny him are occasionally pondered in this series. Barbossa is known for his flamboyant sense of fashion, for which he is picked on by Sparrow. Princess Carolina - The 15-year-old tomboy Spanish princess ran away with Diego, her stable boy, in an attempt to escape an arranged marriage to a governor, described as a "cruel old man". She is immediately interested in the pirate life and fits right in with the crew of the Black Pearl. She and Marcella are extremely competitive with each other for the love of Diego. She admires female pirates, especially well-known and/or successful ones. Carolina is passionate about protecting people, specifically the crew of the Pearl, and insists on warning all of the Pirate Lords of the Shadow Lord and the threat he poses. Diego De Leon - The 15-year-old (approx) former stable boy from Spain helped Carolina run away and escape her fate as a miserable wife to a governor. He is extremely protective of her and will do anything he can to keep her pleased. He is the love interest in the series, both Carolina and Marcella competing for his love.

15985984	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th%20Bomb%20Squadron	20th Bomb Squadron	The 20th Bomb Squadron is a unit of the 2d Operations Group of the United States Air Force located at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. The 20th is equipped with the Boeing B-52H Stratofortress. Formed in May 1917 as the 20th Aero Squadron, the squadron saw combat in France on the World War I Western Front. It took part in the St. Mihiel offensive and Meuse-Argonne offensive. After the war, it served with the Army Air Service and Army Air Corps as the 20th Bombardment Squadron During the 1920s and 1930s, the squadron was involved in field service testing of new bomber aircraft, notably the Y1B-17 Flying Fortress. During World War II the squadron fought in the North African and Italian Campaigns. It was awarded a Distinguished Unit Citation for its actions during a raid on Steyr, Austria. It was a part of Strategic Air Command during the Cold War. As a medium bomber squadron it deployed to stand alert at forward bases in "Reflex" operations. After equipping with Boeing B-52 Stratofortresses stood nuclear alert, but during the Viet Nam War the squadron deployed frequently to perform Operation Arc Light bombing missions. Since 1993, the 20th Bomb Squadron has flown the B-52H Stratofortress long-range strategic bomber, which can perform a variety of missions. Today the squadron is engaged in the Global War on Terrorism. History World War I The squadron was first organized as the 20th Aero Squadron at Kelly Field, Texas on 17 May 1917. On 29 July 1917, under command of Captain W.W. Wynne, the squadron moved to Wilbur Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, where it received its first training in the handling of Curtiss JN-4 and Standard J-1 aircraft. It deployed to France where it was assigned to the 1st Day Bombardment Group. Assigned British de Havilland DH-4 aircraft with American Liberty engines, and was engaged in combat during the St. Mihiel offensive and Meuse-Argonne offensive during 1918. After the 1918 Armistice with Germany, the squadron returned to the United States and arrived at Mitchel Field, New York on 2 May 1919. There most of the men were discharged from Army service and returned to civilian life. Inter-War period After the squadron returned to the United States it re-formed with new personnel at Ellington Field, Houston Texas in June 1919. The 20th equipped with some de Havilland DH-4 bombers and moved to Kelly Field. it was assigned to the new 1st Day Bombardment (later, 2d Bombardment) Group. After the establishment of the permanent United States Army Air Service in 1921, it was redesignated as the 20th Squadron (Bombardment). During this period, the unit also operated some Martin NBS-1s and British Handley Page 0/400s. In May 1920 the squadron was temporarily assigned to Langley Field, Virginia and became part of the First Provisional Air Brigade under Brigadier General Billy Mitchell. It trained with Handley Page O/400 and Martin MB-2 bombers. Its mission would be to attack captured German ships along the Atlantic coast off Virginia in a service demonstration to determine whether a battleship could be sunk by bombing. The targets were an aged and surplus US battleship and four former German Navy vessels, including the battleship , obtained in the peace settlement after World War I and scheduled for scuttling. After the completion of the demonstration, the squadron moved permanently to Langley on 30 June 1922. During the 1920s and 1930s the squadron was used for service testing of new bombardment aircraft as they were developed and improved, primarily Keystone Aircraft light biplane bombers in the 1920s. These planes became the backbone of the Army Air Corps bomber fleet in the latter part of the decade. In 1932 the squadron received and began service testing the Boeing Y1B-9, the first American all-metal monoplane bomber aircraft design. The high speed of the Y1B-9A indicated that open cockpits were now impractical, and that enclosed cockpits would be needed in the future. The Boeing B-9 made obsolete the Keystone Biplane bombers then in service. The Martin B-10 replaced the B-9 in 1936, but the squadron operated the B-10 for only a brief time. In 1937 the squadron received the new Boeing Y1B-17 four-engine heavy bomber. Twelve Y1B-17s were delivered to the 2d Bombardment Group for evaluation. At this time, the dozen Y1B-17s comprised the entire heavy bombardment strength of the United States. The 20th spent its time working out the defects in the prototype aircraft, working with Boeing engineers to make corrections for the final production model B-17B. One recommendation was the use of a checklist that the pilot and copilot would use together before takeoff, hopefully preventing accidents such as the one which resulted in the loss of the original Boeing Model 299. Six planes of the squadron took part in a good will flight from Langley to Buenos Aires, Argentina, taking off from Langley on 15 February 1938 and returning on 27 February. They covered a total of 12,000 miles without serious incident. In May 1938, planes of the squadron took part in a demonstration in which they "intercepted" the Italian ocean liner while it was still 700 miles out in the Atlantic Ocean. This demonstration of the Y1B-17's range and navigational capabilities, but also showed how useful the plane could be in attacking an enemy invasion force before it came close enough to American shores to do any damage. The Navy was not amused by this particular demonstration, and was furious about what it perceived to be Army intrusion into the Navy's mission. Shortly thereafter, the War Department restricted the activities of the Army Air Corps to a 100-mile range of the US shoreline. The Y1B-17s flew for three years without a serious accident, and were transferred to the 19th Bombardment Group at March Field in October 1940. The squadron received new production Boeing B-17D Fortresses to replace them. World War II After the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the squadron served on antisubmarine duty along the mid-Atlantic coastline as part of I Bomber Command for several months until it was reorganized as AAF Antisubmarine Command. The squadron re-equipped with more modern B-17F Flying Fortresses and moved to Ephrata Army Air Field, Washington for transition and combat training in late 1942 and early 1943. It moved to North Africa in April 1943, carrying out bombing missions in Algeria and Tunisia as part of Twelfth Air Force during the North African Campaign. The unit flew many support and air interdiction missions, bombing such targets as marshalling yards, airfields, troop concentrations, bridges, docks, and shipping. The 20th participated in the defeat of Axis forces in Tunisia during April and May 1943; the reduction of Pantelleria and the preparations for Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, in May through July 1943; and Operation Avalanche, the invasion of Italy in September. The squadron was transferred to Fifteenth Air Force control in December 1943 and engaged in bombing operations primarily in Italy in support of the Allied drive north toward Rome from January to June 1944. It also supported Operation Dragoon, the invasion of southern France in August 1944 and the campaigns against German forces in northern Italy from June 1944 until the end of the war. The unit engaged primarily in long-range bombardment of strategic targets after October 1943, attacking oil refineries, aircraft factories, steel plants, and other objectives in Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, and Greece. En route to bomb a vital aircraft factory at Steyr, Austria during Big Week on 24 February 1944, the group was greatly outnumbered by enemy interceptors, but it maintained its formation and bombed the target, receiving a Distinguished Unit Citation (DUC) for the performance. On the following day, while on a mission to attack aircraft factories at Regensburg, it met similar opposition equally well and was awarded a second DUC. The 20th served as part of the occupation force in Italy after V-E Day and was inactivated in Italy on 28 February 1946. Strategic Air Command The squadron was reactivated as a Boeing B-29 Superfortress very heavy bomber squadron under Strategic Air Command in 1947 and assigned to Chatham Air Force Base near Savannah, Georgia, until Hunter Air Force Base was ready to accept the 2d Bombardment Wing. it flew B-29 and later Boeing B-50 Superfortresses during the early postwar era. The 20th participated in electronic countermeasures testing and evaluation from May 1950 until May 1952. Equipped with B-47 Stratojet medium bombers in 1954, flying training missions and standing nuclear alert until the phaseout of the B-47 in 1963. The squadron moved to Barksdale Air Force Base, where it began to re-equip with the Boeing B-52F Stratofortress in 1963. The squadron was moved to Carswell Air Force Base on 25 June 1965, joining the 9th Bombardment Squadron as the second B-52F squadron at Carswell. During the Vietnam War, the squadron would switch rotations to Andersen AFB, Guam for Operation Arc Light missions over Southeast Asia with the 9th, while the other squadron remained on nuclear alert at Carswell. The unit continued Arc Light deployments, switching to the B-52D in 1969 until March 1970 when the draw down of the Vietnam War ended forward deployments to Andersen. The squadron continued nuclear alert with the B-52D until 1983, when it re-equipped with B-52Hs, acquiring the aircraft of the 46th Bombardment Squadron at Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota. During the 1980s it conducted B-52 training missions over bombing range sites and supported the wing mission of aerial bombardment. Current era The squadron returned to Barksdale in 1992 with the closure of Carswell and became part of the new Air Combat Command. It continued training for global conventional bombardment missions and maintained nuclear operational readiness. After the September 11 attacks the 20th deployed to the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean and on 7 October 2001 flew attacks on targets in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. In February 2003 it deployed to Guam to deter North Korean aggression. On 21 July 2008, a squadron B-52 aircraft crashed near Guam during a training mission in support of Guam's Liberation Day festivities. All six crewmembers, three of whom were from the 20th, perished.

57819813	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry%20Go%20Round%20%28The%20Replacements%20song%29	Merry Go Round (The Replacements song)	"Merry Go Round" is a song by American alternative rock band the Replacements, from their 1990 studio album All Shook Down. Written by lead singer Paul Westerberg, the song features lyrics inspired by his relationship with his younger sister Mary as well as a drumming performance by Charley Drayton instead of the band's drummer Chris Mars (though the latter did appear in the music video for the song). The song became the band's most successful single on the alternative rock charts, staying at number one for four weeks on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It has since seen positive critical reception. Background Lyrically, the song was inspired by Westerberg's relationship with his younger sister Mary. Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg commented on the song's downbeat lyrics, "It's the kind of character I tend to be interested in. The winners in life don't attract me. I've never been able to get a handle on that, I've tried to write [songs about winners], but they always ring false. It's ... just a slogan to pat yourself on the back and kid yourself that it's all gonna be all right. 'We're gonna make it.' That emotion has never been strong with me. I've always been kinda defeatist! A lot of it does come from drink. I didn't stop drinking in the hope that now I'd have a positive outlook on life. But at least maybe I'll be able to see some glimmers of the other side of life." The song was one of two on the album to feature Charley Drayton on drums as opposed to Replacements drummer Chris Mars, who had been estranged from the band during the recording of All Shook Down. The band had actively sought Drayton and were pleased with his performance: bassist Tommy Stinson later commented on the groove the band achieved with Drayton, "I thought, Jesus, if we had that kind of thing going on, we would be big." The band offered to have Drayton join the band full-time, but he declined. At a musical level, Westerberg said, Merry Go Round' is really just 'Achin' to Be' in a different key." Release "Merry Go Round" was released as the debut single from the band's 1990 album All Shook Down. It became the band's second alternative number one hit after "I'll Be You", topping the Modern Rock Tracks chart for four non-consecutive weeks and thus becoming the band's biggest alternative charts hit. However, the single failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100. To promote the single, a music video for "Merry Go Round" was produced. Directed by Bob Dylan's son Jesse and filmed on a Hollywood soundstage, the video featured the band plainly performing the song, without the chaos that had defined previous Replacements videos. Guitarist Slim Dunlap appeared in the video, as did drummer Chris Mars, despite not performing on the studio cut of the track. Critical reception "Merry Go Round" has generally seen positive critical reception and has been denoted as a highlight of All Shook Down. Diffuser.fm wrote, "The steady 'Merry-Go-Round' has a nice hook and Paul's sleeve-hearted storytelling is solid." Inlander named the song as being "among the band's best," while Pitchfork called it a "pretty good song." Glide described the song as "swaggering" and "delightfully catchy."

28342115	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kickapoo%20Joy%20Juice	Kickapoo Joy Juice	Kickapoo Joy Juice is a citrus-flavored soft drink brand owned by the Monarch Beverage Company. The name was introduced in Li'l Abner, a comic strip that ran from 1934 through 1977. Although Li'l Abner's Kickapoo Joy Juice was an alcoholic drink, the real world beverage is a lightly carbonated soft drink. Li'l Abner "Kickapoo Joy Juice" was a fictional beverage coined in the American comic strip Li'l Abner. Al Capp, the cartoonist, described the beverage as "a liquor of such stupefying potency that the hardiest citizens of Dogpatch, after the first burning sip, rose into the air, stiff as frozen codfish". It was said to be an elixir of such power that the fumes alone have been known to melt the rivets off battleships. Capp asserted in 1965 that the cartoon "never has suggested that the drink is moonshine", in response to claims that the Kickapoo Joy Juice of Li'l Abner was an illicitly distilled liquor. Brewed by Hairless Joe and Lonesome Polecat, two of the comic strip's backwoods poachers, the ingredients of the brew are both mysterious and all-encompassing, (much like the contents of their cave, which has been known to harbor prehistoric monsters.) When a batch "needs more body", the formidable pair simply goes out and clubs "a body" (often a moose), and tosses it in. Over the years, the "recipe" has called for live grizzly bears, panthers, kerosene, horseshoes and anvils, among other ingredients. Product The real world drink was introduced in 1965 under NuGrape, a former brand of the Monarch Beverage Company. That year, Nugrape worked out a deal with Al Capp, the owner of the "Kickapoo Joy Juice" rights, to produce the beverage as a carbonated soft drink. Capp, however, would have the last word on all advertising and promotion. Kickapoo Joy Juice's early advertising campaign was very similar to Mountain Dew's of the time – using characters from Li'l Abner to create and market a hillbilly feeling. Although the product is distributed largely in Asian markets (Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Cambodia and Bangladesh), the can still comes decorated with a vintage Li'l Abner drawing. The Wall Street Journal had a regular feature on mixed drinks, and once published in it a recipe for Kickapoo Joy Juice. The backstory is that it had been illicit hooch ginned up by soldiers during World War II, often starting from alcohol intended for fuel for torpedoes and the like.

1284123	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob%20Ladouceur	Bob Ladouceur	Robert Eugene Ladouceur (born July 3, 1954) is a retired American football coach. He began coaching the De La Salle High Spartans in Concord, California in 1979 when he was 25 years old. He took over a program that never had a winning season since the school's establishment in 1965. His first season as head coach resulted in their first winning season. His second season resulted in their first appearance in the California Prep Football State Rankings and began De La Salle's evolution into a perennial champion. From 1992 to 2004, he guided the team to 12 consecutive undefeated seasons, setting a national winning streak record for high school football of 151 consecutive wins—a record in US amateur sports exceeded only by the 159-game winning streak of Passaic High School in men's basketball and the 459 match win streak of Brandon High School in men's wrestling. Ladouceur was enshrined to the National High School Hall of Fame in 2001. His team has topped the USA Today rankings five times and he is a three-time coach of the year. He retired on January 4, 2013 with a career record of 399–25–3. His .934 winning percentage is a record among coaches with 200 or more wins. Ladouceur is the all-time winningest coach in California high school football and has led the De La Salle program to numerous championships. A film about his life called When the Game Stands Tall was released on August 22, 2014. The film, which stars Jim Caviezel as Coach Bob Ladouceur, Laura Dern as Bev Ladouceur, Michael Chiklis as assistant coach Terry Eidson, and Alexander Ludwig as running back Chris Ryan, is about the record-setting 151-game 1992–2003 high school football winning streak by De La Salle High School of Concord, California. The film is an adaptation of the 2003 book of the same name by Neil Hayes and published by North Atlantic Books. Bob married Lissa Ladouceur on January 3, 2015. De La Salle head coach Bob Ladouceur retired in January 2013 after winning his last Open Division state championship in December 2012.

18302215	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%20Byam%20Martin	Thomas Byam Martin	Admiral of the Fleet Sir Thomas Byam Martin, (25 July 1773 – 25 October 1854) was a Royal Navy officer. As captain of fifth-rate HMS Fisgard he took part in a duel with the French ship Immortalité and captured her at the Battle of Tory Island during the French Revolutionary Wars. Then while in command of the third-rate HMS Implacable in the Baltic Sea and attached to the Swedish Navy he took part in the capture the Russian ship Sewolod (Vsevolod) during the Napoleonic Wars. During his many years of service as Comptroller of the Navy, Martin was credited with reducing the fleet from the enormous size deployed against the French to a much more streamlined service geared toward protecting merchant trade and the British Empire. He also focused heavily on employing highly trained dockyard staff capable of responding rapidly to any international emergency. Martin also sat in Parliament for 14 years and was an outspoken critic of government attempts to reduce the Navy budget which ultimately saw him dismissed in 1831 by his old friend King William IV. Martin died in October 1854, at the early stages of the Crimean War, planning the Baltic Campaign and investigating the possibilities of using poison gas weapons. Early life Born the third son of Sir Henry Martin, 1st Baronet (later MP for Southampton) and his wife Eliza Anne Gillman (née Parker), Martin was educated at Freshford School, Southampton Grammar School and later the Royal Grammar School, Guildford. During his education, he was also enrolled on the books of several Navy ships, a custom of the period to ensure that when he was old enough to go to sea he already would have the requisite "experience" to be considered for promotion early. Martin joined the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth in August 1785 and went to sea for the first time as a captain's servant aboard the sixth-rate HMS Pegasus, captained by Prince William Henry, on the North American Station in April 1786. Promoted to midshipman, he transferred to fifth-rate HMS Andromeda in March 1788 and subsequently to the third-rate HMS Colossus, the fifth-rate HMS Southampton, the second-rate HMS Barfleur and then the first-rate HMS Royal George. Promoted to lieutenant on 22 October 1790, Martin served in the third-rate HMS Canada in the Channel Squadron and subsequently in the fifth-rate HMS Inconstant and the fifth-rate HMS Juno. He was promoted to commander on 22 May 1793 and given command of the fire ship HMS Tisiphone in the Mediterranean Fleet. War service Martin was promoted to captain on 5 November 1793 and given command of the fifth-rate HMS Modeste, a frigate recently captured from the French, and saw action in operations off Toulon at an early stage of the French Revolutionary Wars. He went on to command the fifth-rate HMS Artois and saw action at the siege of Bastia in April 1794. Martin was then transferred to the Channel Fleet and stationed off Ireland in HMS Santa Margarita, in which he captured the French frigate Tamise at the Atlantic raid of June 1796: in the engagement, Tamise was badly damaged and suffered heavy casualties while HMS Santa Margarita'''s losses were only two killed and three wounded. In December 1796, Martin was sent to the West Indies as captain of the fifth-rate HMS Tamar in which he captured nine privateers. He then moved to the command of the third-rate HMS Dictator before taking over the newly captured fifth-rate HMS Fisgard. On 20 October 1798 HMS Fisgard took part in a duel with the French ship Immortalité and captured her at the Battle of Tory Island. Martin continued to be employed off the French coast, capturing merchant vessels, privateers and warships. Martin was given command of the third-rate HMS Impetueux in May 1803, at the start of the Napoleonic Wars, and in her rescued many survivors from the wreck of HMS Venerable in November 1804. He transferred to the command of the second rate HMS Prince of Wales in the Channel Squadron in 1807 and to the third-rate HMS Implacable in the Baltic Sea in 1808. In HMS Implacable'', Martin was attached to the Swedish Navy and took part in the capture of the Russian ship Sewolod (Vsevolod) in August 1808, for which he was awarded the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Sword by the Swedish King Gustaf IV Adolf. Senior command Promoted to rear-admiral on 1 August 1811, Martin was despatched with a squadron to the Baltic Sea, with his flag in the third-rate HMS Aboukir, and assisted in the defence of Riga against the Grande Armée during the French invasion of Russia. He became Second-in-Command at Plymouth Command, with his flag in the third-rate HMS Prince Frederick in 1812 and visited the Duke of Wellington's headquarters in Spain to co-ordinate army and navy supply requirements and operations in 1813. He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on 4 January 1815. Martin became Deputy Comptroller of the Navy in January 1815, advancing to full Comptroller of the Navy in February 1816, a position he maintained until November 1831 he was the last comptroller to hold the post in its original function. In this role, Martin dominated naval strategy, reducing the fleet from the enormous size deployed against the French to a much more streamlined service geared toward protecting merchant trade and the British Empire. He also focused heavily on employing highly trained dockyard staff capable of responding rapidly to any international emergency. He was promoted to vice-admiral on 12 August 1819, advanced to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath on 3 March 1830 and promoted to full admiral on 22 July 1830. Martin's strong pro-Tory political views eventually caused his downfall, when he used his position in Parliament as member for Plymouth, for which he had been elected in July 1818, to publicly criticise the new Whig government of Earl Grey in 1830. Infuriated, Grey and Sir James Graham, who had become First Lord of the Admiralty that year, approached Martin's old friend King William IV for a solution, resulting in Martin's dismissal for insubordination in 1831. In his later years he lived at No. 53 Wimpole Street in London. Martin was appointed Rear-Admiral of the United Kingdom on 5 May 1847 and Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom on 10 August 1847 before being promoted to Admiral of the Fleet on 30 October 1849. As the Crimean War approached he returned to service at Portsmouth planning the Baltic Campaign and investigating the possibilities of using poison gas weapons. He died in this service at the admiral superintendent's house at Portsmouth on 21 October 1854 and was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery in London. There is a memorial to Martin in St Ann's Church in Portsmouth. The Navy Records Society published the letters and papers of Admiral Sir Thomas Byam Martin in 3 volumes from 1898 to 1901. Family Martin married Catherine Fanshawe, daughter of Captain Robert Fanshawe; they had three daughters and three sons (Admiral Sir William Martin, 4th Baronet, Admiral Sir Henry Byam Martin and Lieutenant-colonel Robert Fanshawe Martin).

973213	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise%20Colet	Louise Colet	Louise Colet (15 August 1810 – 9 March 1876), born Louise Revoil de Servannes, was a French poet and writer. Life and works She was born at the hôtel d'Antoine (fr) in Aix-en-Provence in France. In her twenties she married Hippolyte Colet, an academic musician, partly in order to escape provincial life and live in Paris. Upon arrival in Paris, Colet began to submit her work for approval and publication and soon won a two-thousand-franc prize from the Académie française, the first of four prizes won from the Académie. At her salon participated many of her contemporaries in the Parisian literary community, such as Victor Hugo. In 1840, she gave birth to her daughter Henriette, but neither her husband nor her lover, Victor Cousin, would acknowledge paternity. Later she became the paramour of Gustave Flaubert, Alfred de Musset, and Abel Villemain. After her husband died, Colet supported herself and her daughter with her writing. Her brother was the painter Pierre Révoil. Louise Colet died in Paris. Though married to Hippolyte Colet, Louise had a steamy eight-year affair, in two stages, with Gustave Flaubert. The relationship turned sour, however, and they broke up in March 1855. In 1859, Louise wrote a novel, Lui, a thinly disguised account of her affair with Musset and her frustration with Flaubert. However, Colet's book has failed to have the lasting significance of Flaubert's 1857 novel Madame Bovary. Flaubert wrote dozens of long letters to her, in 1846–1847, then especially between 1851 and 1855. Many of them are a precious source of information on the progress of the writing of Madame Bovary. In many others, Flaubert gives lengthy appreciations and critical comments on the poems that Colet sent to him for his judgment before offering them for publication. These comments show the vast differences between the two writers on the matter of style and literary expression, she being a Romanticist whereas he was deeply convinced that the writer must abstain from gush and self-indulgence.

40341891	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff%20Kollman	Jeff Kollman	Jeffrey "Jeff" Kollman is an American guitarist and occasional bassist from Toledo, Ohio, best known for his work with Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats, Glenn Hughes, UFO offshoot Mogg/Way, progressive rock trio, Cosmosquad, and his 90s progressive metal band, Edwin Dare. In addition to Cosmosquad and the Bombastic Meatbats, he is currently a member of the Alan Parsons Live Project, Asia feat. John Payne, as well as L.A. blues rockers Bleeding Harp and has toured and gigged with Japanese superstar Eikichi Yazawa, Foreigner's Lou Gramm, former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach, the Michael Schenker Group, British rockers UFO, bassist Marco Mendoza and the Danny Seraphine led California Transit Authority (CTA), among others. He has also worked extensively with contemporary jazz keyboardist Lao Tizer. Kollman has worked as a session guitarist, producer, songwriter, and actor. He has written music for movies and TV, including a commercial which ran during the 2007 Super Bowl. He is the owner and operator of Marmaduke Records, which has released the bulk of his albums. Kollman has been a Los Angeles resident since 1997 where he lives with his family. Biography Inspired by bands including Kiss and Van Halen, and guitarist Randy Rhoads, Kollman began playing guitar when he was 12 years old. He made his recording debut at 14, after joining Ohio hardcore punk band The Stain. The Stain was featured on 1984's The Sounds of Hollywood #3 compilation and issued a full-length album, I Know the Scam, in 1986, both on L.A.-based label Mystic Records. In 1986, Kollman formed the metal band VXN with his brother and drummer Tommy Kollman, vocalist Bryce Barnes and bassist Nep Sindel, and self-released a 6-song mini-LP in 1987, followed by the cassette-only full-length album, The Question, in 1988. The band would morph into Edwin Dare with the addition of bassist Kevin Chown and release three albums between 1992 and 1998 and build a strong fan base around parts of the Midwest through extensive touring. During this time, Kollman also released a pair of solo albums. After the demise of Edwin Dare, Kollman and Chown continued to collaborate on various projects, including Crumb Bros., JKB (Jeff Kollman Band) and, most notably, Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats. Kollman moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1995, where he worked as a session musician for Linda McCartney, Lyle Lovett, Wayman Tisdale and others. There he crossed paths with MSG drummer Shane Gaalaas and bassist Barry Sparks, with whom he formed the all-instrumental progressive rock trio, Cosmosquad. In 1997, the group released their eponymous debut, the first of four studio albums to date. In 1998, Kollman filled in for Sparks on bass for MSG on their G3 tour of Europe. That year, Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records contacted Kollman to help write and record the Permanent Mark album with Artension vocalist John West. This led to Jeff teaming up with the core of the classic UFO line-up, as Mogg/Way, for the 1999 Chocolate Box album. Kollman and UFO vocalist Phil Mogg reunited, as $ign of 4, for another album collaboration, Dancing with St. Peter, released in fall 2002. In 2003, after a UK tour with $ign of 4, Kollman began working with bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (of Deep Purple fame) and drummer Robin DiMaggio in a short-lived, pop-oriented trio named Shape 68. He also produced, co-wrote and played guitar for Hughes' 2003 hard rock album Songs in the Key of Rock and would become Hughes' new touring guitar player. Also in 2003, Kollman co-produced the HTP 2 project, featuring Hughes and former Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner. In 2005, Kollman filled in for UFO bassist Pete Way for the duration of the band's U.S. summer tour. He earned his SAG card with a part in the Hank Garland biographical movie Crazy, portraying guitarist Barry Galbraith. in 2007, Kollman and collaborator Jono Brown landed a Super Bowl commercial for Garmin GSP navigation systems. The 30second spot aired just before Super Bowl XLI half-time and featured vocals by Grim Reaper frontman Steve Grimmett. That same year, Kollman, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and keyboardist Ed Roth, who had met playing with Glenn Hughes, formed an all-instrumental band inspired by their shared love of 70s funk rock and fusion. Still unnamed at the time, the group, rounded out by Kollman's former Edwin Dare bandmate Kevin Chown on bass, debuted at the 2008 NAMM show in Anaheim, California. The band became Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats upon the release of their debut album, Meet the Meatbats, in 2009. More Meat followed in 2010, and a live recording, Live Meat and Potatoes, in 2012. Kollman would team up with Glenn Hughes for a tour of Europe in 2009, documented via the Live In Wolverhampton 2-CD and DVD release, recorded over the course of two nights, June 6 and 7, in the singer's hometown of Bilston, England. Returning to the UK in 2011, Kollman appeared at the Goodwood Festival of Speed by special invitation of Lord March, playing the Star Spangled Banner on the roof of Goodwood House on July 4; Brian May of Queen also performed. In 2012, Kollman released Silence in the Corridor, his first studio solo album in more than a dozen years. The album's title track is a tribute to Gary Moore, and the title was inspired by Moore's 1982 solo album, Corridors of Power. It was followed by the release of two digital-only singles, "Waiting in Dark Places" and "Electric Overload", the latter a duet with fellow guitarist Jeff Marshall. In the early morning hours of December 15, 2012, Kollman's brother Tommy was shot and killed by a sheriff's deputy in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. A memorial concert event was held in the brothers' old stomping grounds in South Toledo, Ohio, on May 24 and 25, 2013, with Cosmosquad headlining. Kollman released a digital single, "Brother to Brother", as a tribute in July 2013. Kollman joined drummer Ray Luzier, bassist Billy Sheehan and DJ Sluggo for a performance at the 25th anniversary Guitar Center Drum-Off at L.A.'s Club Nokia on January 18, 2014 where he also played with Bombastic Meatbats who were joined by special guest Steve Lukather. He released two new digital-only singles, "Eve of Reflection" and "Old Kentucky Thunder", on January 27, 2014. Two more digital singles, "In The Hills of Granada" and "Another Rainy Saturday", were made available March 17, 2014. In February 2014, Kollman filled in for guitarist Marc Bonilla with California Transit Authority (CTA), led by legendary founding member and drummer of Chicago, Danny Seraphine, for a handful of U.S. East Coast shows. Later that same month he would join old friend Mark Mikel on the inaugural Progressive Nation at Sea cruise, masterminded by former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy. Released on YouTube in March 2014, Kollman collaborated with fusion trio 107и on a cover of Bill Bruford's "Beelzebub" off his 1978 solo album, Feels Good to Me. In July 2014, Kollman released the mostly acoustic Hills of Granada album, including "In the Hills of Granada", "Another Rainy Saturday", "Old Kentucky Thunder", "Eve of Reflection", "Brother to Brother", "Electric Overload" and "Waiting In Dark Places", all previously released as digital singles. After featuring on the 2012 "Seasons Will Change" single and video with Asia Featuring John Payne, Kollman also took part in the recording of 2014's Recollections: A Tribute to British Prog, which contains covers by King Crimson, ELP, Yes, Genesis, and The Alan Parsons Project, among others. The aforementioned "Seasons Will Change" would re-surface in early 2018 as part of the eponymous debut album by Dukes Of The Orient, spearheaded by John Payne and keyboardist Erik Norlander. In the summer of 2015, Kollman joined former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach for a run of U.S. dates and for a second consecutive year toured Japan with vocalist Eikichi Yazawa, highlighted by the 'Rock In Dome' show at Tokyo's giant Tokyo Dome on September 5, 2015, documented via the Rock In Dome Blu-Ray and DVD release. Kollman was back with Yazawa for yet another tour of Japan in late 2016. In the fall of 2016, Kollman released Jeff & Tommy Kollman - Teenage Metal Years, a compilation of early all-instrumental demos recorded in 1983 and '84 on a Fostex X-15 4-track recorder in their parents' basement with his late brother Tommy on drums. Kollman would also surface in yet another progressive rock project, Artifact, alongside vocalist Jeff Scott Soto, drummer Joel Taylor, flutist/saxophonist Gary Meek, bassist Eugene Sharikov, and keyboardist Edward Tsiselsky whose debut single Life Is Good was issued in October 2016; the band's full-length debut, also titled Life Is Good, surfaced in August 2017 under the name RTfact. Everyone but Soto had previously worked together on the more jazz oriented 2015 album Revelation by Yuri Volodarsky & Friends. Kollman, Taylor and Meek had also taken part in recording the yet-to-be-released Vision of Sound - The King Crimson Story tribute album, a Russian-American collaborate effort spearheaded by Sharikov and keyboardist Dmitry Ilugdin. In early 2017, Kollman returned with his long running progressive metal/fusion trio, Cosmosquad, and their first new release in a decade, titled The Morbid Tango. On May 9, it was announced that Kollman would join the Alan Parsons Live Project for their 13-city "I Robot & Greatest Hits" tour of Germany that same month. He has since joined Parsons on a permanent basis and subsequently appeared on his 2019 album, The Secret. In September 2017, Kollman reunited with Glenn Hughes for a tour of Australia and New Zealand performing the music of Deep Purple focusing on the band's Mk III and Mk IV eras that featured Hughes. Kollman also toured the U.S. with Hughes in August and September 2018. More recently, Kollman has played guitar for legendary vocalist Lou Gramm of Foreigner fame, with Asia feat. John Payne becoming Gramm's de facto new backing band in 2019. On March 18, 2021, Kollman released the song "Superstring Theory" as a digital single on his Bandcamp site and announced a May 21 release date for his sixth instrumental solo album, East of Heaven, with contributions from long time collaborators Shane Gaalaas and Jono Brown on drums, Cirque du Soleil music director, Paul Shihadeh, on bass, and his Eikichi Yazawa band mate, Guy Allison, on keyboards. On April 30, 2021, Kollman released a newly re-discovered version of "A Jam For Jason", which originally appeared on Warmth in the Wilderness: A Tribute to Jason Becker in 2001, to raise funds for ALS stricken musician Jason Becker. Dubbed Cosmosquad & The Jasonauts - "A Jam For Jason MMXXI", the Bandcamp exclusive features the original Cosmosquad line-up of Kollman, Shane Gaalaas, and Barry Sparks, and lead guitar contributions from Chris Poland, Vinnie Moore, Patrick Lachman, and Steve Morse. 2022 saw Kollman tour with both the Alan Parsons Live Project and Ekichi Yazawa in Japan.

There were 75 competitors from 52 nations. Nations had been limited to two swimmers each since the 1984 Games. The event was won by Alexander Popov of the Unified Team. Gustavo Borges's silver was Brazil's first medal in the men's 100 metre freestyle since 1960. Stéphan Caron of France repeated as bronze medalist, the eighth man to win multiple medals in the event. It was the first time since 1968 that the United States had competed and not won the event and the first time since 1956 that the Americans had competed and not taken any medal, as Jon Olsen finished fourth and defending champion Matt Biondi came in fifth. Background This was the 21st appearance of the men's 100 metre freestyle. The event has been held at every Summer Olympics except 1900 (when the shortest freestyle was the 200 metres), though the 1904 version was measured in yards rather than metres. Five of the eight finalists from the 1988 Games returned: gold medalist Matt Biondi of the United States, bronze medalist Stéphan Caron of France, fourth-place finisher Gennadiy Prigoda of the Soviet Union (now competing for the Unified Team), sixth-place finisher Andrew Baildon of Australia, and eighth-place finisher Tommy Werner of Sweden. Biondi was the favorite, having also won the 1991 World Championship and his 1988 world record still standing. Caron and 1991 European Champion Alexander Popov were also contenders. Albania, Lithuania, the Maldives, Saudi Arabia, and the Seychelles each made their debut in the event; some former Soviet republics competed as the Unified Team and competitors from Yugoslavia competed as Independent Olympic Participants. The United States made its 20th appearance, most of any nation, having missed only the boycotted 1980 Games. Competition format This freestyle swimming competition used the A/B final format instituted in 1984. The competition consisted of two rounds: heats and finals. The swimmers with the best 8 times in the semifinals advanced to the A final, competing for medals through 8th place. The swimmers with the next 8 times in the semifinals competed in the B final for 9th through 16th place. Swim-offs were used as necessary to determine advancement. Records Prior to this competition, the existing world and Olympic records were as follows. No new world or Olympic records were set during the competition. Gustavo Borges set a new South American area record, and two national records were set: the Russian record by Alexander Popov and the Puerto Rican record by Ricardo Busquets. Schedule All times are Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) Results Heats Rule: The eight fastest swimmers advance to final A (Q), while the next eight to final B (q). Finals Final B Final A Popov won, well ahead of everyone else. An equipment error resulted in the scoreboard initially displaying Caron as the second-place swimmer and Borges as last. Borges last was an obvious mistake to anyone watching; he had been fighting for second. His touchpad had malfunctioned. Officials reviewed film of "his" finish, assigning him a time of 49.53—equal to Biondi; they then realized that the film had been of Biondi. Looking at the correct finish, the officials gave Borges a time of 49.43, good for the silver medal.

10406033	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh%20Magnus	Hugh Magnus	Hugh Magnus () (1007 – 17 September 1025) was co-King of France under his father, Robert II, from 1017 until his death in 1025. He was a member of the House of Capet, a son of Robert II by his third wife, Constance of Arles. The first Capetian King of France, Hugh Capet, had ensured his family's succession to the throne by having his son, Robert II, crowned and accepted as King during his own lifetime; father and son had ruled together as King thenceforth until Hugh Capet's death. Robert II, when his son was old enough, determined to do the same. Hugh Magnus was thus crowned King of France on 9/19 June 1017, and thenceforth ruled beside his father. However, when older, he rebelled against Robert. Hugh died, perhaps of a fall from his horse, at Compiègne in 1025 while preparing a rebellion against his father, aged around 18 years old. Rodulfus Glaber was fulsome in his praise of the young king, writing: "My pen cannot express all of the great and good qualities that he showed...in all things he was better than the best. No elegy can ever equal his merits." As a King of France, he would be numbered Hugh II; however, he is rarely referred to as such as he predeceased his father.

The song contains the line Why forty thousand Cornish boys shall knawa the reason why. According to Cornish historian Robert Morton Nance, it was possibly the inspiration for R. S. Hawker's "The Song of the Western Men" which was written in 1824 and contains a strikingly similar line: Here's twenty thousand Cornish men will know the reason why!
