Robert Nicoll

Robert Nicoll (7 January 1814 – 7 December 1837) was a Scottish poet and lyricist whose life, although short, left a lasting impact. Life Robert was born at the farm of Little Tullybeltane, in the parish of Auchtergaven, Perthshire. When Robert was five years old his father was reduced to poverty, forced to work as a day-labourer. His mother, Grace Fenwick, was able to compensate for his father's inability to give his son more than a slight education by teaching Robert and his siblings to read and write. Robert had eight siblings and he was the second son; however, his older brother died as a child, making him the oldest son. His mother, Grace, recalled that Robert was such a quick child, that he was speaking at nine months in the way of an eighteen-month old child - a genius from the very beginning. At five years old, Robert was reading the New Testament. When the Nicoll family became extremely poor, Robert's mother did not have time to read, which was a great passion of hers. To entertain her while she was working or tending to the household, Robert would read books deemed appropriate for his age group. He studied under several teachers, most notably a Mr. Marshall, who died young. Hearing of his death, Robert wrote to his mother, lamenting, "In fine, he was a young man who has left few equals. I myself owe more to him than years can repay. I could read before I knew him, but he taught me to think." Another instructor, James Anderson of Tullybeltane was a poet himself. At 16 the boy was apprenticed to a grocer and wine-merchant at Perth. Nicoll is quoted in The Life of Robert Nicoll as stating, "to further my progress in life, I bound myself apprentice to Mrs. J. H. Robertson, wine-merchant and grocer in Perth.  When I came to Perth, I bought Cobbett's English Grammar, and by constant study soon made myself master of it, and then commenced writing as before; and you know the result." Regardless of the barriers he faced, Robert pursued his academic journey, aware of the value of his intelligence even at the age of 16. Literary career In 1833 he began to contribute to Johnstone's Magazine (later Tait's Magazine), and in the next year his apprenticeship was cancelled. He visited Edinburgh, and was kindly received there, but obtained no employment. However, in 1835, he published Poems and Lyrics with Edinburgh printer William Tait, which was dedicated to the popular Scottish authoress "Mrs. Johnstone" (Christian Isobel Johnstone). In critics' opinion, the best of Nicoll's lyrics are those written in the Scottish dialect. Due to this circumstance, and his precocity as a writer of verse and prose, Nicoll was often compared to fellow Scottish poet Robert Burns. One of Nicoll's most famous poems, featured in The Monthly Miscellany of Religion and Letters in 1840 is "God is Everywhere," which begins: After this publication, Nicolls opened a circulating library at Dundee, and in 1836 became editor of the Leeds Times. Additionally, he was a member of the provisional committee of the Leeds Working Men's Association and of the Leeds Radical Association. While in Dundee, he took on a work-partner, a local tradesman who was also in desperate need of money. Robert realized that this partnership was a poor choice, since the library business could barely sustain one person, let alone two. In 1836, Robert gave the business over to his partner completely. As he had left the business without gaining anything, his losses concerned his mother, who was in a great measure responsible for his ambitions. In the midst of a frigid winter and worsening health, on 9 December 1836, Robert Nicoll married Alice Griffiths Suter (or Soutar), the niece of Mr. Peter Brown, editor of the Dundee Advertiser in Dundee. Though the marriage was happy, the couple were under immense financial stress to pay off Nicoll's debts, support themselves, and care for Alice's mother, Mrs. Suter, who came to live with them. Illness and death Espousing pronounced Radical opinions, Nicoll overtaxed his slender physical resources in electioneering work for Sir William Molesworth in the summer of 1837. Due to the stress and pure exhaustion of the election, he was obliged to resign his successful editorship due to decreasing health. His final letter to his mother dated 13 September 1837 admits the severity of his illness, and explains that he did not tell her because he knew it would keep her unsettled. His appetite lessened due to his medications, accelerating the conclusion to his prolonged decline. He died on December 7, 1837, at the house of his friend William Tait, at Trinity, near Edinburgh, after a long battle with an illness caused by stress, exhaustion and lack of proper appetite and rest. He is buried in North Leith Burial Ground on Coburg Street in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1844, the second edition of Poems and Lyrics appeared with an anonymous memoir of the author by Christian Isobel Johnstone. An appreciation of Nicoll's character and his poetry was included in Charles Kingsley's article on Burns and his School in the North British Review for November 1851. In 1884, Peter Robert Drummond wrote a detailed autobiography entitled, Life of Robert Nicoll, Poet. The poem "We are Lowly" was set to music by Sophia Dobson Colett.

ATM Class 1500

The ATM Class 1500, also known as type 1928, is a series of tram vehicles used by the ATM on the Milan urban tramway network. History In the 1920s, the increasing traffic on the Milan urban tramway network made pressing the substitution of the old tramcars ″type Edison″. The municipal tram office decided to design a new type of tramcars, built on two bogies, taking as model the Peter Witt streetcars built in Cleveland and in other cities of the United States. The Milan streetcar was projected by the municipal engineers in 1927, and two prototypes, built by Carminati & Toselli and numbered 1501 and 1502, came into service at the end of the same year. After a few tests, the construction of a 500 units stock (numbered 1503 to 2002) began, divided between several manufacturers: the Società Italiana Carminati & Toselli built 110 units (1503 to 1612); the Società Italiana Ernesto Breda built 110 units (1613 to 1722); the Officine Meccaniche di Reggio Emilia built 50 units (1723 to 1772); the Officine Meccaniche built 110 units (1773 to 1882); the Officine Elettro-Ferroviarie Tallero built 110 units (1883 to 1992); the built 10 units (1993 to 2002). The electrical equipment were built by Ansaldo and TIBB, the bogies by Fiat under Commonwealth-license. The cars were delivered in 1929–1930 and immediately put into service. In 1932–1935 some cars were equipped with an experimental half door at the tail, and from 1938 to 1940 with a definitive entire door; the Peter Witt system were therefore abandoned after a few years of service. During the Second World War many cars were seriously damaged, but only one unit had to be scrapped, the others being repaired or reconstructed from 1945 to 1949. From 1970 on, the traditional green livery (introduced in 1930) was abandoned, and a new orange one introduced; from 1972 the traditional trolley pole was substituted by a pantograph. Since 1976 some cars were put aside and later demolished. Nowadays circa 135 units are still in service, repainted in the last years in a white and yellow livery already used on the prototypes. Most trams are in use for daily service, but some are for special occasions (trams 1503, 1699, 1702, 1723, 1822 and 1847), some for drivers instructions (trams 1602, 1798, 1862), two for the driving restaurant service ATMosfera (trams 1855 and 1970) and there is the ″white tram″, the school tram (″Scuolaintram″). Legacy In 1929 a unit was sent to Frankfurt and tested on the tram network, without success. Another unit was sold to Brussels, where it became model for the series 5000; later it went to Madrid. In Italy, tramcars similar to the Milan Peter Witt were built for the cities of Genoa, Naples, Padua, Trieste and Turin. Reconstructions Two damaged units were used in 1984 to arrange a low-floor prototype, the car no. 4500.Two units have been restored, respectively in the original state with only two doors, and in the state of the 1950s in green livery. Many cars were sold to the cities of San Francisco and San Jose, where they work as museum cars. Car no. 1692 was partially rebuilt for double-ended "keep left" operation in Australia, and ran briefly in Melbourne. It is now at the Sydney Tram Museum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic%20dilator

Osmotic dilator

Osmotic dilators are medical implements used to dilate the uterine cervix by swelling as they absorb fluid from surrounding tissue. They may be composed of natural or synthetic materials. A laminaria stick or tent is a thin rod made of the stems of dried Laminaria, a genus of kelp. Laminaria sticks can be generated from Laminaria japonica and Laminaria digitata. Synthetic osmotic dilators are commonly referred to by their brand names, such as Dilapan. Dilapan-S are composed of polyacrylonitrile, a plastic polymer. The hygroscopic nature of the polymer causes the dilator to absorb fluid and expand. Use in obstetrics and gynecology Osmotic dilators are most commonly used to slowly dilate and soften the cervix prior to surgical abortion, a process referred to as cervical preparation. Adequate cervical preparation is important prior to surgical abortions because it helps to prevent complications of dilation and evacuation (D&E), such as laceration of the cervix. Cervical preparation can be accomplished with osmotic dilators, with medications such as prostaglandins and/or mifepristone, or with a combination of these. However, there is no consensus as to which cervical preparation method is superior in terms of safety and efficacy. At later gestational ages, osmotic dilators, including laminaria, may be used to assist in dilating the cervix. Most abortion providers use laminaria, Dilapan, or both for osmotic dilation prior to surgical abortion after 16–18 weeks gestation. Osmotic dilators may also be used to achieve cervical dilation prior to gynecology procedures, such as hysteroscopy or dilation and curettage of the non-pregnant uterus, although this is uncommon. Placement Prior to a planned surgical abortion, osmotic dilator(s) may be inserted into a woman's cervix. A speculum is placed in the vagina to allow the provider to see the uterine cervix. A tenaculum may be placed on the anterior lip of the cervix to straighten the cervical canal and hold the cervix steady. Pain medications may be administered via a paracervical block. The dilator is then grasped with a ring forceps and is placed into the cervix so that it spans both the internal cervical os and external cervical os. Over time, the osmotic dilator absorbs fluid and swells to 3-4 times the initial diameter. Most of the increase in size occurs within 6 hours after the dilator are placed in the cervix, though further expansion will continue over 12–24 hours. The number of osmotic dilators placed depends on the degree of cervical dilation that is sought. This may be affected by the gestational age of the pregnancy and history of prior vaginal deliveries. More dilators are generally used with advancing gestational age. Laminaria tents are usually left in place overnight. Mechanism of action Laminaria function by absorbing fluid from the surrounding tissue and expanding. Thus exerts radial pressure on the cervix. They also cause the release of prostaglandins. Removal Laminaria are removed prior to initiating the D&E, after they have started the process of dilating the cervix. They are removed by grasping the strings of the dilator and applying gentle traction. The cervix may be dilated further using rigid cervical dilators which serially increase in diameter. Effectiveness There is no evidence regarding the risk of not achieving vaginal delivery within 24 hours with laminaria compared to prostaglandin E2 but there may be a lower risk of uterine hyperstimulation with laminaria. It is not certain whether the risks of caesarian section, perinatal death or maternal death are reduced or increased with laminaria compared with vaginal or cervical prostaglandin E2. Risks The incidence of complications related to osmotic dilator use prior to abortion has not been systematically studied and reported, but serious complications appear to be very rare. Risks of osmotic dilator insertion include pain, rupture of amniotic membranes, initiation of labor, cervical or uterine perforation, retention of the dilator, and infection. Original Dilapan dilators were prone to fracturing under tension during removal which sometimes led to retention of dilator fragments within the uterus. Dilapan was subsequently removed from the market and replaced with Dilapan-S which is less prone to fragmentation. Dilapan may expand unevenly within the cervix and develop a dumbbell shape which can result in difficult removal. References Obstetrics

Battle of Aiken

The Battle of Aiken (also known as the Action at Aiken) occurred on February 11, 1865, as General William Tecumseh Sherman made his way across South Carolina. The principal commanders were Union Maj. Gen. Hugh Judson Kilpatrick and Confederate Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler. Wheeler was able to score a minor victory over Kilpatrick. Today an annual re-enactment is held the final full weekend in February. Battle Fighting Before the battle, on February 1, General Sherman began to invade South Carolina. During the invasion he ordered Hugh Judson Kilpatrick and his cavalry corps from the Fifth U.S Cavalry to march through South Carolina. By February 5, he crossed into Aiken County where he would engage in battle with Joseph Wheeler's cavalry corps. Kilpatrick didn't expect that there would be any resistance to his army. Wheeler moved to defend the city of Augusta from the Union army. His army was stationed between Benjamin Franklin Cheatham and James Argle Smith's forces. Specifically 204 Park Avenue. Under Wheeler's command was the Aiken Home Guard and Wheeler's cavalry. Wheeler planned to defeat Kilpatrick by forming his cavalry into a "V" shaped formation. With some skirmishers deployed above the formation. When Kilpatrick charged the skirmishers, they would retreat into the center of the "V." Once Kilpatrick entered the formation the tips of the "V" would collapse, thus encircling Kilpatrick. On February 11, at 9:00 AM, the battle started. Wheeler's plan would have worked if had not been for a single Confederate soldier who fired his gun prematurely. This resulted in Wheeler ordering all of his soldiers to attack the Union forces. The armies engaged in hand-to-hand combat all across the town. During the fighting, it was reported that a Confederate soldier ran up to Kilpatrick and attacked the general with his pistol. However the pistol did not go off. Kilpatrick had still lost the battle, so he retreated back to his defenses at Montmorenci. For the rest of the day Confederate and Union soldiers skirmished. This was until the two commanders signed a truce and agreed to collect the bodies. Later, on February 13 Kilpatrick retreated and rejoined Sherman. Despite all of this, Kilpatrick declared himself victorious. Casualties According to General Kilpatrick, he had killed 31 Confederate soldiers, wounded 160, and captured 60. This would result in the Confederates taking 251 Casualties. However general Wheeler states that he had suffered 50 casualties and that he had killed 53 Union soldiers, wounded 270, and captured 172. This totals to 495 Union Casualties. In popular culture To commemorate the battle, a granite monument was erected at the intersection of Richland Avenue and Chesterfield Street. The people of the country reenact the battle annually. The reenactment is held on rural land located several miles away from the area where the battle was actually fought. According to the Southern Cultures journal, the residents of the city possibly reenact this battle as an attempt to score a "symbolic blow against the hated enemy of their ancestors and perhaps, against what they see as their enemies modern counterparts: The champions of political correctness in general and historical revisionism, and beyond those a leviathan bureaucratic state, which intervenes in their lives in unwanted (as well as welcome) ways." The first reenactment of the battle happened in 1965. It was organized by John A May and Herman Boland. Both of these men were descendants of Confederate veterans. According to the previously mentioned Southern Cultures journal, the tradition of reenacting the battle had become "suspect."

Kevin Polcovich

Kevin Michael Polcovich (born June 28, 1970) is an American former professional baseball player who was a utility infielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates in two Major League Baseball seasons during the 1990s. Early life Polcovich was born in Auburn, New York. He attended Auburn High School, and played for the Auburn Maroons baseball team. Collegiate career Polcovich attended Gulf Coast Community College, and in 1990 he played collegiate summer baseball with the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played shortstop for coach Joe Arnold's Florida Gators baseball team in 1991 and 1992. He participated in the College World Series in 1991, and received All-Southeastern Conference (SEC), SEC All-Tournament, and College World Series All-Tournament honors. Polcovich holds the NCAA D1 fielding assists record with 14. Professional career The Pittsburgh Pirates selected Polcovich in the 30th round of the 1992 amateur draft. He made his Major League debut on May 17, 1997. Polcovich is most remembered for his key role as a member of Pittsburgh's 1997 "Freak Show" team. Prior to the season, new ownership had dismantled the team and launched one of the Pirates frequent rebuilding plans. Opening day payroll for the '97 team was $9,000,000, by far the lowest in the major leagues. Expectations were very low for the Pirates, but perhaps none were lower than for Polcovich, who was bagging groceries to help support himself during spring training. When the Pirates' starting shortstop was injured in May, Polcovich got his call-up to the majors and the former bag boy was now the new starting shortstop. He quickly became the anchor of the Pirates infield and helped the team compete for the NL Central Division until the final week of the season (when they were finally eliminated by ultimate division champions, the Houston Astros). Polcovich only played one more year of major league baseball, but his Rocky-like rise from nowhere to help the upstart 1997 Pirates have their most competitive year in the past two decades (as of 2012) against overwhelming odds, remains part of recent Pirate lore. Personal life Polcovich and his wife, Lisa, have two children, Kaden James and Teagan. Kaden was drafted in the third-round of the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft by the Seattle Mariners. Kaden is an infielder who attended Oklahoma State University. Teagan is a volleyball player for Missouri State University.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full%20contact%20karate

Full contact karate

Full contact karate is any format of karate where competitors spar (also called Kumite) full-contact and allow a knockout as winning criterion. History Full contact karate competition comes in several different formats developed for the art of karate at different times in different places. Some developed independently, others developed out of other full contact rule systems or from light contact rule systems. There are no major unifying organizations in any of the different formats, and the rule details may change drastically between the many rival sport/style organizations and different promoters. Some organizations stick rigidly to one set of rules. Other use several rule formats harmoniously side by side. Some even have tournaments that switch rule formats between rounds of the same bout. Sometimes the differences between the different rules are large, and sometimes the only significant differences between different sport rules are the organizational structures that use them. Different formats Knockdown One major format of full-contact sport karate is known as knockdown karate or sometimes Japanese full contact karate. This style of sport fighting was developed and pioneered in the late 1960s by the Kyokushin karate organization in Japan, founded by Korean-Japanese . In fighting the competitors traditionally wear no gloves, padding or body protection other than groin guards (although local regulations sometimes enforce exceptions to this tradition), but it is bare knuckle fighting. Punches to the face, groin, and joint are prohibited but all bare-knuckle and elbow strikes to the body and limbs (with the exception of joints), and kicks (including kicks with the knee) against legs, arms, body, head and face are permitted, as are sweeps. Grabbing and holding the opponent, including clinching, is not allowed under the basic- knockdown karate rules as used in Kyokushin, but are occasionally allowed in some variations used in other styles. Points are scored by knocking the opponent out, down to the floor, by sweep and controlled follow up for half a point, or by otherwise visibly incapacitating them. Unless there is a knockdown or sweep, the bout is continuous, with stoppages only to break up locked clinches or if the fighters leave the fight area. Unlike American full-contact karate, or point karate, clean hits are not counted in and by themselves, as the scoring depends entirely on the effect of the hits, not on the formal or stylistic appearance of the techniques. No matter the perfection in execution of a technique, it will not score unless it visibly affects the opponent. In the same manner, if a technique does show a visible effect, it does not matter if it is executed in a manner regarded as inferior. Common, minor variations to the basic-knockdown rules include Ashihara Karate and Enshin Karate knockdown rules that allow one-handed grabbing in order to execute throws to score points. Many other variations exist, some so extensive that they can no longer be classified as knockdown rules, and several other branches of full-contact karate (typically included in the "gloved", "MMA inspired" and "others" groups) originate as such a variation of the Knockdown karate rules. Although this sport format originated with the Kyokushin karate organization, it has spread until now and it's used by many karate styles and organizations. Karate styles embracing these rules are often called knockdown karate styles, and these include both organizations that originated from Kyokushin, such as Shidōkan Karate, Ashihara Karate, Enshin Karate, Shindenkai and Seidokaikan (the style that originated the K-1), as well as styles that originated independently from Kyokushin such as Ryukyukan from Okinawa and Muso-Kai karate. (Muso-Kai started with Shorin Ryu, Knockdown styles were a huge influence later) Though severely divided by rivaling styles and organizations (several of which use their own minor variations of the basic rules), and lacking a unifying sport organization, the sport of knockdown karate today is common all over the world. Despite the lack of a unifying sport organization to hold unifying championships (and the friction between the different styles and organizations), there is a long tradition in most knockdown karate organizations to hold special open-tournament knockdown karate events, where fighters from any knockdown karate (or any other) style and organization are welcome to participate. American A second full contact karate competition format is American full contact karate which was developed in USA during early 70s by borrowing rules, settings and gloves from western boxing, and adapting it. It is continuous fighting, where the bout is not broken for scoring, but point scores are summed up at the end of the bout. Protective equipment used is boxing gloves and often foot-pads, shin pads, and amateur boxing helmets. It had its origin when Joe Lewis, a traditional Shorin Ryu black belt, was disappointed with scoring in point karate and wanted to prove martial artists could fight to a knockout. For his role in promoting and organizing the first full contact bout, Joe Lewis is considered the father of American full contact karate and full contact kickboxing, both important predecessor to modern-day mixed martial arts fighting. American full contact karate is closely related to American kickboxing, and it is often difficult to separate the two sports. As a guideline, both do not allow kicks below the waistline, or the use of knees or elbows. Gloved One more recent system of full contact karate that has gained in popularity is Gloved karate or Glove karate. Sometimes called Shin-karate/Shinkarate (or "new" karate, in a partial translation) depending on sport organization and promoter -with the largest sport organizations being Shinkaratedo renmei and All Japan Glove Karate Federation This system originates in Japan where it has become a popular amateur sport for karate fighters wishing to enter professional kickboxing. Outside Japan it has gained some momentum in Europe, but is still very small compared to other forms of karate. The rules are based on the knockdown karate rules explained above, but modified to use boxing gloves and allow punches to the face, although it may be argued that it is unclear where this karate competition format ends and kickboxing begins. This is especially true since many gloved karate fighters seamlessly go on from their amateur gloved karate career to professional kickboxing careers. Many Japanese gloved karate fighters have in recent years become well known as pro-kickboxers, and many of the most successful Japanese kickboxers in K-1, such as Kozo Takeda, Yoshihiro Sato, Yasuhiro Kido, Hinata, Yuya Yamamoto, originated in gloved karate. Bogu Kumite Still another form of full contact karate is Bogu kumite, which is most often associated with a few traditional Okinawan styles of karate like Chito-ryu, Isshin-ryu, Shorinji-ryu and Nippon Kempo. This format of continuous competition uses heavy protective padding to avoid injuries. In the beginning, this protective padding was based on the helmet and armor of Japanese kendo with gloves to protect the knuckles from the helmet's steel bars, although in modern days more specific padding has been developed. While allowing knockout as winning criterion, the protective equipment reduces the chances for it, and points are usually scored for clean techniques and techniques knocking the opponent off his feet. Nippon Kempo also allows grappling. Nevertheless, compared to most other major full contact karate sports, Bogu Kumite is still very small. Full contact point karate One format of full contact karate competition is full contact point karate. It is similar to non full contact competition karate; the only difference from light contact and semi contact karate bouts is that if the opponent is knocked out, it is a win instead of a disqualification for excessive contact. Points are scored for clean hits to the specified target zones, and unless there is an evident knockout or knockdown, the referee breaks the bout after each exchange to score the hits. The blows are delivered with full contact, although gloves, foot-pads, and in some cases body padding, are worn. This form of full contact karate competition is mainly found in North America, where it originated, although it has a minor following in Europe. It is also similar to the competition format used in full contact Shotokan, Taekwondo, and the sport karate competitions using this format often blur the line between these two related arts. Karate Combat In 2018, a new professional league was launched with a new full contact rule set, called Karate Combat. The rules were developed by Hungarian karateka Adam Kovacs and allow full contact, with gloves, knockouts, and no grappling. Fighters who have joined the league include Rafael Aghayev of Azerbaijan, Davy Dona of France, Josh Quayhagen of Lake Charles, LA, and Achraf Ouchen of Morocco. Bas Rutten, the UFC Hall of Famer and actor on CBS's Kevin Can Wait, is part of the organization and has served as commentator for events in Budapest, Miami, Athens, Hollywood and New York City. The New York City event was held at the top of One World Trade, the first sporting event ever held there. UFC star Chuck Liddell has acted as an ambassador for the league. The rules of this contest is punches, kicks to the calf (not thigh) and to the head and body, as well as knee strikes. If a fighter gets knocked down the opponent can punch them on the ground for 5 seconds before the referee stops the fight or stand them back up. In December 2019, the league announced an extended schedule of fight events for the year around the world with an event in Kyoto, Japan, planned for the Spring. The Kyoto fight was cancelled and the promotion held two events that year, one in Orlando, Florida and one in Hollywood with guest announcer Danny Trejo. In April 2020, the league announced a new plan that would hold all of a season's fights in one location and use CGI to add the exotic atmosphere; the plan was partially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hybrid fighting karate Hybrid fighting karate is a form of full contact karate allows the use of both striking (Karate) and grappling (Judo / Jujutsu) techniques, both standing and on the ground. In 1981, Grandmaster Takashi Azuma created "Karatedo Daido Juku" in Sendai city, Miyagi prefecture. Daido Juku introduced "Kakuto Karate (Combat Karate)" a safe, practical and popular form of tournament karate using the face protector and allowing attacks to the head level attack, throws and grabs. Since then joint locks and chokes were included. Ever since, Daido Juku became a leading organization in the mixed martial arts boom in Japan. Daido Juku competition format, Kudo, allows any strike (including headbutts and groin kicks), throws and limited time grappling on the ground. Other groups combining traditional karate striking with grappling are Nihon zendokai with their "Vale Tudo Karate" and Kyokushin Budokai with their "allround fighting" rules, as well as a multitude of lesser known minor rule systems. Another hybrid karate style is Seireikai Karate, founded by a Kyokushin and Oyama Karate practitioner. The style is primarily Kyokushin and Oyama Karate striking techniques, combined with the throws and grappling of Judo. The characteristics of this modified kyokushin fighting style relies on punch counters, multi-range kicking, throws and take-downs, and joint locks. Another hybrid Full Contact Karate form is Ashigaru-Ryu founded by Sensei Bob Peppels in the Netherlands. Others Other sport rules, including versions allowing full contact bare knuckle strikes to the unprotected head, exists, but tend to be small and obscure compared to the above listed major formats. These rules tend to be restricted to a single small style organization or even individual sport event promotions. Examples of minor full contact rules system are the Irikumi Go as used by some Gōjū-ryū organizations (most notably the International Okinawan Gōjū-ryū Karate-dō Federation and the Jundokan Goju-Ryu organization), and the rules of Mumonkai Karate. Kyokushinkan shinken shobu uses a variation of knockdown karate using thin gloves, and allows headpunches, clinching and throws. Irikumi Go is a traditional continuous fighting using full contact, gloves and face-punches, used in Gojuryu karate. Mumonkai use rules similar to knockdown karate, but modified to allow head-punches with protective headgear and thin gloves. In France, a full contact karate promotion called pro fight karate, has been formed for professional karate with MMA style gloves, clinching and limited grappling. An example of full contact karate rules unique to a single promotion is the now defunct Chaos Madmax special event in Japan, arranged by the FSA Kenshinkan style organization. Here fighters fight without gloves or protective equipment, and head-punches allowed. Chaos Madmax has been replaced by Pro KarateDo, an organization using similar bareknuckle rules.

MDVIP

MDVIP is an American company, headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, that operates a network of physicians. The company's physicians practice preventive medicine and personalized primary-care medicine. The national network consists of 1,100 physicians serving over 360,000 patients in 45 states and the District of Columbia. Each physician cares for up to 600 patients as opposed to the average 2,500-3,500 patients in a traditional primary-care practice. MDVIP patients receive a comprehensive physical examination and follow-up wellness plan as well as electronic medical records and a personalized patient portal with focus on diet, exercise, doctor communication and more. The company states that additional patient benefits include acute-care visits, same or next-day availability, on-time appointments, 24/7 physician availability, and enhanced coordination of specialty care. History Founded in Boca Raton in 2000. In June 2014, growth-equity investor Summit Partners acquired the company from Procter & Gamble. In November 2017, Leonard Green & Partners acquired majority ownership. In October 2021, Private Equity business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“Goldman Sachs”) and funds affiliated with Charlesbank Capital Partners (“Charlesbank”) completed the acquisition of MDVIP from Leonard Green & Partners and Summit Partners. Business model To supplement insurance reimbursements, MDVIP physicians charge patients an annual fee between $1,650 and $3,530 per year. In addition to this annual fee, patients are responsible for applicable co-pays and co-insurance, and maintain primary-care insurance coverage including Medicare. In contrast to the direct-care model, this revenue format, often referenced as concierge medicine, runs the risk of audit or penalty as Medicare and other private-insurance carriers cover a comprehensive wellness exam currently listed as part of the MDVIP package. MDVIP physicians are not directly employed by the company, instead they pay a royalty or franchise fee of $500 per patient per year for services such as patient conversion, marketing, branding and other support.

Trash Taste

Trash Taste is a weekly audio and video podcast hosted by Joey Bizinger, Garnt Maneetapho, and Connor Colquhoun - three Tokyo-based content creators primarily focusing on anime and Japanese pop culture. The podcast generally discusses Japanese culture and life in Japan. History The podcast was started in February 2020 by GeeXPlus, a subsidiary of BookWalker, who helped the three hosts to relocate to Japan to help them have more access to Japanese culture and to promote their products on their channel. Since the three were brought over in Japan, they decided to start a podcast that was already planned on the back of their minds for some time. The first episode of the podcast was uploaded to YouTube on 5 June 2020. Since then, new episodes have been released every Friday, with the exceptions of 30 October 2020, 26 February 2021, and 7 January 2022, on which YouTube-exclusive specials were released instead. On 26 May 2021, the hosts moved out of the studio in which they had recorded the first fifty-four episodes, dubbed season one, and relocated to a new studio that officially kicked-off season two. On 17 June 2021, the hosts were invited for a live 'podcast' event about Japan-based YouTubers by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan; discussions range from living in Japan to how Trash Taste got started. Trash Taste also appeared in the Foreign Correspondent Club Japan's Number 1 Shimbun Magazine June 2021 volume. Format Discussions in the podcast are about more than just anime, and delve into various topics, including otaku culture, life in Japan, and topics varying on the episode's theme. So far, on eighteen episodes, the podcast has featured several special guests. As of 28 January 2022, these guests have included Chris Broad (four times), Kaho Shibuya, Meilyne Tran (the show's executive producer who has appeared twice), Mori Calliope (who has also appeared twice), Sydsnap, Noriyaro, Ken Arto, Nano, Akidearest, Ladybeard, Reina Scully, Shu Uchida, Geno Samuel, and Kson. The hosts have also expressed interest in featuring PewDiePie, Cr1TiKaL and Kevin Penkin as guests, all of whom have also expressed interest in being featured on the podcast, and claimed that they plan to visit Japan once travel restrictions enacted because of the COVID-19 pandemic permit them to do so. Generally, each episode is between one and three hours long, and is broken up intermittently with sponsor spots and a list of all Patreon subscribers near the end. The intro and outro title card both feature the copyright-free song "Soul Searching" by Causmic. The podcast's producer is Meilyne Tran, with video editing by Toomas Lismus (MudanTV). YouTube The Trash Taste podcast uses three channels on YouTube. The first and main channel is Trash Taste, which includes all the podcast episodes and specials. The second, Trash Taste Highlights, provides short clips from each podcast episode that are significant or interesting. The third, Trash Taste After Dark, reuploads livestreams from the podcast's Twitch channel. The Trash Taste channel was created on 14 February 2020, posting its first video on 5 June 2020. The channel has 1,030,000 subscribers as of 13 August 2021. The Trash Taste Highlights channel was also created on 14 February 2020, posting its first video on 6 June 2020. This channel has 508,000 subscribers as of 13 August 2021. The Trash Taste After Dark channel (originally called Trash Taste Streams) was created on 23 August 2019, posting its first video on 28 January 2021. This channel has 281,000 subscribers as of 13 August 2021. In addition to the three YouTube channels, the podcast also has a Twitch channel, called trashtastepodcast, which has 145,000 followers as of 13 August 2021. Specials Typically debuting on a week in which no episode of the podcast is released, the specials, available only on YouTube, feature the hosts of Trash Taste outside the studio. Podcast episodes Season 1 (2020–21) Season 2 (2021–present) Reception General public reception have been mostly positive, with several podcast review sites giving five-star ratings, or rank high in various categories, including Apple Podcasts and Podbay.fm.

Jacob Goering House

The Jacob Goering House was a historic building located on the hill above downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The house has subsequently been torn down and the location is now a parking lot for Palmer College of Chiropractic. History Jacob Goering was an early labor organizer in Davenport who was involved in more militant national union efforts. He worked at the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad shops, and was a leader in the railroad strike of 1877. When placed on the National Register of Historic Places it was one of a few buildings left in Davenport that reflected the city's major social movements of the 19th century. Architecture The Goering house exemplified a popular and distinctive house type in 19th century Davenport, a vernacular form of the Greek Revival style. It was a two-story, three bay, brick, front gable house with an oculus in the gable end. The Greek Revival entrance and four-paneled door that was framed by sidelights and a transom was a distinguishing feature of this house from other examples in this style.

Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper

The Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper () is the training ground and academy base of Spanish football club FC Barcelona. It was officially opened on 1 June 2006, and was named in honor of Joan Gamper, founder of the club. Located in Sant Joan Despí (Baix Llobregat, Province of Barcelona) to the west of central Barcelona and north of the city's airport, and covering 163.650 m², it is used since 2006 for youth team training and matches and since January 2009 for the first team training. It is also used by many of the other sports teams at the club including Basketball, Handball and Futsal who use facilities such as the multi-sports pavilion. Now that this facility is fully operational, all the youth teams that previously used the Camp Nou facilities, mainly the Mini Estadi and the Palau Blaugrana, train there. In 2019, the Johan Cruyff Stadium opened next to the Ciutat Esportiva to replace the Mini Estadi as a matchday venue for Barcelona B and Barcelona Femení. FC Barcelona's first team moved to this facility on 19 January 2009. This brought to an end a 30-year history that the first team had of training on the small pitch (known as the La Masia pitch) annexed to the Camp Nou. The first team facilities are the same as those at the Camp Nou and at the start of the 2009/2010 season it included a full pool and saunas for player recuperation. By 2011 a new residence was opened on site, housing the FC Barcelona's youth players who previously boarded at La Masia. This will include living space for around 85 players. The land occupied by the Ciutat Esportiva was purchased by the club in 1989 and is just 4.5 km away from the Camp Nou and is directly connected by the road between Barcelona and Sant Joan Despí. The Ciutat Esportiva eventually cost 68 million euros, of which 25.6 corresponded to urbanization and 42.5 to the total construction costs. The club sold two plots of land, the first on 21 June 2002 and the second on 20 February 2003, for values of 29.7 and 15.9 million euros, respectively to cover part of the costs of the operation. The rest of the money was invested directly by the club, an amount of 22.5 million euros. Facilities 5 natural grass football pitches. * Pitch 7: (105 x 68 metres) with capacity for 1,750 spectators approximately. * Pitch 1: (105 x 68 metres) with capacity for 1,400 spectators approximately. * Pitch 2: (105 x 65 metres) with capacity for 400 spectators approximately. * Pitch 3: (105 x 65 metres) * Pitch 4: (105 x 65 metres) 4 Fieldturf pitches (3 regular-sized and 1 mini-football pitch). * Pitch 8: (105 x 65 metres) with capacity for 950 spectators approximately. * Pitch 5: (105 x 65 metres) * Pitch 9: (105 x 65 metres) * Pitch 6: (55 x 38 metres) 3 multi-sport pavilion (basketball, handball and futsal) with capacity for 472 spectators. 1 grandstand building by pitch 1. 1 service building (including team catering areas). 3 Gymnasiums. 2 Press Areas. 4 First Aid areas. 1 dressing room building.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking%20Channel%20%28Canadian%20TV%20channel%29

Cooking Channel (Canadian TV channel)

Cooking Channel is a Canadian English language specialty channel and a localized version of the U.S. channel of the same name owned by Corus Entertainment and Discovery, Inc. Dedicated to programming related to food and cooking, its branding is licensed from Discovery Inc. (formerly Scripps Networks Interactive), which holds a minority ownership, and is also a partner on sister channel Food Network. The channel was launched in 2001 as SexTV: The Channel under the ownership of CHUM Limited named after the program of the same name aired on Citytv. The channel was acquired in 2006 when Bell Globemedia acquired the assets of CHUM which was completed in 2007 while the Citytv stations were sold to Rogers Media. Corus acquired the channel in 2010 and relaunched the channel as W Movies (a spin-off of W Network), which focuses on female-centric movies before rebranding to its current name on December 12, 2016. History As SexTV: The Channel In June 2001, CHUM Limited received approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a national Category 2 specialty channel known as Relationship Television, a channel described as being "devoted exclusively to programming related to love, romance, marriage, relationship-themed game shows, sexuality and gender issues, family planning, relationship breakdown and magazine style programming featuring romantic vacation resorts." The channel was launched three months later on September 7, 2001 as SexTV: The Channel, a channel modeled after and its name derived from SexTV, a now-former program on Citytv (which was a CHUM-owned property at the time). SexTV aired programming on sex and human sexuality, including issues on love, dating, romance and related subjects. In July 2006, Bell Globemedia (later CTVglobemedia) announced that it would purchase CHUM for an estimated CAD$1.7 billion. Due to CTV planning to retain the Citytv network, SexTV: The Channel was among the channels along with A-Channel, Access, CKX-TV Brandon and CLT to be sold to Rogers Communications on April 9, 2007, awaiting the final approval. The sale was approved by the CRTC on June 8, 2007, on the condition that CTV must divest the Citytv stations, effectively cancelling the sale of SexTV: The Channel to Rogers and the transaction was completed on June 22, 2007 while the Citytv stations were sold to Rogers later that year. As W Movies On July 14, 2009, CTVglobemedia announced that it would sell Sex TV, along with Drive-In Classics (then Sundance Channel, now defunct), to Corus Entertainment for a combined CAD$40 million. In late September, Corus announced that the channel would be rebranded as W Movies, a spin-off of W Network with a focus on films targeting women. The sale was approved by the CRTC on November 19, with the transaction being completed by December. The on-air relaunch as W Movies took place on March 1, 2010. On December 2, 2011, W Movies launched a high definition feed. It is currently available through all major television providers in the country. As Cooking Channel On October 19, 2016, Corus announced that a Canadian version of Cooking Channel—a spin-off of its Canadian version of Food Network, would be the rebranding of W Movies on December 12, 2016. Its launch came several months after Bell Media's re-launch of Gusto, which competes directly against Food Network. Scripps Networks Interactive subsequently acquired a 19.8% interest in the channel. Some providers also had to move the channel to a different number. The HD feed was also rebranded to match, and was launched in 2017 on Shaw Direct. Programming The Cooking Channel airs programming identical to its U.S. counterpart such as A Cook's Tour, Ace of Cakes, Bill's Food, Bitchin' Kitchen, Caribbean Food Made Easy, Chuck's Day Off, Chinese Food Made Easy, Cupcake Wars, Drink Up, Easy Chinese San Francisco by Ching He Huang, Everyday Exotic, Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis, FoodCrafters, Food Jammers, French Food at Home, Good Eats, Indian Food Made Easy, Iron Chef (original Japanese version), Iron Chef America, MasterChef Canada, Spice Goddess, Two Fat Ladies, and Tyler's Ultimate, in addition to various past programs hosted by Julia Child and Nigella Lawson. Other original programs featured include Dinner at Tiffani's hosted by Tiffani Thiessen, Man Fire Food hosted by Roger Mooking, Food: Fact or Fiction? hosted by Michael McKean, Tia Mowry at Home hosted by Tia Mowry, Cheap Eats hosted by Ali Khan, Carnival Eats hosted by Noah Cappe, Rev Run's Sunday Suppers hosted by Rev Run, Unique Eats, Unique Sweets, and Donut Showdown. As SexTV: The Channel, the network aired programming devoted to human sexuality including issues on love, dating, romance and related subjects. Past programs on the network include Sex Wars: Gender in the Age of Representation, Beyond Carnival: Sex in Brazil, and Sexploration''.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masahiro%20Fukuda

Masahiro Fukuda

is a former Japanese football player. He played for Japan national team. He was a forward but sometimes played in the midfield. Club career After studying at and playing for Sagami Institute of Technology High School and Chuo University, Fukuda joined Mitsubishi Motors in 1989 and started to play for their football club that played in the Japan Soccer League Division 2. In his rookie season, he scored 36 goals and helped the club to gain the promotion to Division 1. When Japan's first-ever professional league J1 League started in the early 1990s, Mitsubishi was transferred to the Urawa Reds. He turned professional and continued to play for the club. He scored his first J1 League goal on June 9, 1993 against the Kashima Antlers at Kashima Soccer Stadium. All the Urawa players except the goalkeeper flocked around Fukuda to celebrate the goal. While the celebration was prolonged, the referee signaled the restart and Kashima's Hisashi Kurosaki equalized immediately. In the 1995 season, Fukuda scored 32 goals, which made him the League's top scorer and a member of the J.League Best XI. Urawa was fighting the relegation battle in the 1998 season. In order to stay up, Urawa needed to win the last match in the normal 90 minutes. The J1 League employed extra time with the golden goal rule even for a league match at that time, and 2 points were awarded for an extra win while a regulation win earned 3 points. Urawa failed to win in the 90 minutes and the players fielded for the extra time knowing that they had already been relegated. Fukuda scored the golden goal, which fans now remember as the "saddest golden goal in the world." He retired from the game after the 2002 season. He played his senior club football with one club. He was the symbolic player of Urawa Red Diamonds and the fans refer to him as Mr. Reds. At the beginning of 2003, the testimonial match for Fukuda was held at Saitama Stadium where more than 50,000 supporters attended to bid farewell. National team career Fukuda was capped 45 times and scored 9 goals for the Japanese national team between 1990 and 1995. His first international appearance came on July 27, 1990 in a Dynasty Cup match against South Korea in Beijing. He scored his first goal for his country on August 24, 1992 in another Dynasty Cup match against China in Beijing. He was a member of the Japan team that won the 1992 Asian Cup and he played 4 games and scored 1 goal in the semi-final against China. Under national coach Hans Ooft, Japan reached the 1994 World Cup qualification for the 1994 World Cup. He was on the pitch, after replacing Kenta Hasegawa in the 59th minute, when Japan's hope to play in the finals in the USA was dashed by an injury-time Iraqi equaliser in the last qualifier, the match that the Japanese fans now refer to as the Agony of Doha. After retirement He works as a football commentator and columnist for various programs and magazines. He also acquired the S-Class Coaching license that was a prerequisite to manage a J.League club in 2007. He became an assistant coach at Urawa in 2008 and he resigned in 2010.

Kurdistan National Congress

The Kurdistan National Congress (Kurdish: Kongreya Neteweyî ya Kurdistanê, KNC or KNK) is a multi-national platform of Kurdish groups and parties of all tendencies, which aims for the independence of Kurdistan. It was founded on 14 April 1985 on the initiative of the Kurdistan Workers' Party. It was inaugurated on 24 May 1999 in Brussels. The group has more recently be referred to as the Kurdistan National Congress in the Diaspora. The convention of the KNC was endorsed on 26 May 1999, at the organization's founding assembly, and the scholar Ismet Cheriff Vanly was declared the first president. The convention was amended most recently at the ninth assembly which took place in December 2008. Recently, conferences held by the group have reaffirmed their wish that Kurds may have their national identity recognized and the territory of Kurdistan be respected. Composition The congress is constituted by 288 members for the term from October 2017 to October 2019. President of the KNC until at least 1999 was Najmaldin Karim. Two co-chairs of the KNK, Rebwar Rashed and Nilüfer Koç were elected to post on 27 September 2015 at the 15th General Meeting. Both were re-elected on 15 October 2017. In October 2019, Zainab Morad Sahrab and Ahmet Karamûs were elected for a term of two years. The KNK has several committees and commissions of which the commission for women is headed by Leyla Birlik and the Law committee is headed by Zübeyir Aydar. Criticism Kurdish affairs expert Michael Gunter reckoned that the KNC has had difficulty attracting wide participation from Kurdish people, and has appeared to be too close to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).

Gundlachia (gastropod)

Gundlachia is a genus of minute freshwater snails or limpets, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies. The generic name is in honor of Cuban naturalist Juan Gundlach (1810-1896). Anatomy These animals have a pallial lung, as do all pulmonate snails, but they also have a false gill or "pseudobranch".

Maria of Antioch-Armenia

Maria of Antioch-Armenia (1215–1257) was lady of Toron from 1229 to her death. She was the elder daughter of Raymond-Roupen, prince of Antioch, and of Helvis of Lusignan. She derived her title of Lady of Toron and claim to the throne of Armenia from her father. Maria's paternal grandmother Alice became lady of Toron when emperor Frederick II, at the end of the Sixth Crusade, negotiated the return of lands conquered by Saladin; Maria succeeded her as she was the closest surviving relative. In 1240 she married Philip of Montfort, Lord of Tyre, previously lord of Castres, and they had the following children: Jean de Montfort (died 1283), lord of Toron and of Tyre Humphrey of Montfort (died 1284), lord of Beirut and of Tyre Alix, living in 1282 and in 1295 Helvis, living in 1282 and in 1295 She was the great-granddaughter of Roupen III, prince of Armenia (Roupen III's daughter was Alice), who had been succeeded by his brother Leo I. Maria thus unsuccessfully claimed rights to the throne of Armenia, something her father and grandmother had previously attempted and failed.

Putting Makeup on the Fat Boy

Putting Makeup on the Fat Boy is a 2011 young adult novel written by Bil Wright and published by Simon and Schuster. The book tells the story of Carlos Duarte, a gay teenager who dreams of becoming a famous makeup artist. Reception A review for Publishers Weekly commended the protagonist Wright developed, saying "[he] gives voice, complexity, and heart to the kind of character often relegated to a cliché sidekick role." They also note the resilience of Carlos Duarte throughout the book serve as example to teenagers. Kirkus Reviews praised the author's treatment "of a gay, Latino teen" in Carlos Duarte, but criticized the way one of the characters, Angie, who is fat, was treated in the book. The School Library Journal was mostly positive about the main character, calling him a "fascinating character", but also mentioning he could "overwhelm the plot and the other characters" at times, making them seem flat in comparison. The SLJ review also appreciated Duarte's narration due to it being "honest about the vagaries of real life and fabulousness." Putting Makeup on the Fat Boy was the recipient of the Lambda Literary Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature and the Stonewall Book Award, both in 2012.

Dulce Tentación

Dulce Tentación (Sweet Temptation) is the sixth studio album by Mexican pop/dance singer Fey. It was officially released on May 5, 2009. This is her first and only album by far to be released on an independent label (Mi Rey Music) and is also her first in three years. Album production Fey calls the album "sensual, powerful and different; that's exactly the way I see women at this moment." The sound of the album itself follows the electronic and rhythmic influences of her previous albums.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%20Saucer%20of%20Loneliness

A Saucer of Loneliness

"A Saucer of Loneliness" is a short story by American writer Theodore Sturgeon that first appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction n. 27 (February 1953). It was later adapted as a radio play for X Minus One in 1957, and as the second segment of the twenty-fifth episode (the first episode of the second season, 1986–87) of the television series The Twilight Zone, starring actress Shelley Duvall. Summary A man sees a woman on the beach one night—he suspects she will attempt suicide. He spots her in the ocean and plunges in to save her. She struggles but he manages to get her ashore. Subsequently, she tells him her story: Years earlier in Central Park she saw a very small flying saucer hovering about her, small enough to put her arms around it. It floated down next to her and touched itself against her forehead for a second and they then both fell to the ground. While recovering, a small crowd gathers around her. A policeman shows up, the crowd increases in size, and an FBI agent arrives. The girl sits up and says that the saucer spoke to her. The FBI man orders her to shut up and takes both the girl and the now-inanimate saucer into custody. The authorities obtain no information from the saucer or from the girl. They interrogate her about everything but especially about what the saucer had said to her. She refuses to answer, as the saucer was talking only to her, and thinks that it's nobody else's business. Finally, after many months in custody, including jail, she is released. Even though she is plain and awkward, men ask her out in dates, but only in order to find out what the saucer said to her. Every now and then reporters track her down to ask about the saucer. Finally, she resorted to taking a job as a night cleaner so that no one else will see her. In her loneliness and isolation, she takes to throwing messages in bottles into the ocean. The authorities try to collect all the bottles but eventually give up when they find the same message in each bottle. The message in the bottles is a poem about loneliness. The man then explains that he found one of her bottles two years ago and has been looking for her ever since. He heard about the bottles hereabouts and that she had quit throwing them, and he had taken to wandering the dunes at night, looking for her. He knew why she threw them, and, when he thinks that she will attempt suicide, he ran all the way. He tells her that he thinks she is beautiful. He also tells her what the saucer said to her—he knows because it is the same message that she has been putting into her bottles: To the loneliest one...<br/ >There is in certain living souls<br/ >A quality of loneliness unspeakable<br/ >So great it must be shared<br/ >As company is shared by lesser beings<br/ >Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this<br/ >That in immensity<br/ >There is one lonelier than you. "She said nothing, but it was as if a light came from her, more light and far less shadow than the practiced moon could cast. Among the many things it meant was that even to loneliness there is an end, for those who are lonely enough, long enough." And the meaning of the saucer has become clear: it too was a bottle cast into the interplanetary or galactic sea, by some alien being also consumed by loneliness. In 2004, "A Saucer Of Loneliness" was nominated for a 'Retro Hugo' for Short Story 1954 (Hugo Award for Best Short Story). It was also the title of the seventh book in the anthology series The Collected Short Stories of Theodore Sturgeon, published in 2000. Twilight Zone episode The TV adaptation differs from the short story in several aspects mostly due to TV storytelling requirements. The woman's loneliness, revealed only gradually in the short story, is obvious from the beginning in the episode. The time frame is shorter. The resolution (the orb) is missing in the short story. French TV adaptation In 1982, this short story of Theodore Sturgeon was adapted by the French television, with the title "La soucoupe de solitude" and actress Catherine Leprince playing the main character. The director is Philippe Monnier. The episode itself aired on FR3 (France 3) September 8, 1982.

Humorology

Humorology, or "Humo" for short, is an annual juried musical/variety show that takes place at the Union Theater of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The competition consists of six original mini musical comedies written, produced and performed by independent companies and overseen by a student-run executive board. Begun in 1948, Humorology is one of the oldest traditions at the UW–Madison. About the show Humorology is a competition among mini-musical comedy shows. Each 20-minute show takes popular music and adapts it into a story with singing, dancing, and comedy. Each show is written, directed, choreographed, and performed by students and the sets and costumes are student-made. Rehearsals begin in early October, when each cast prepares a nine-minute first half of their show to audition for the final show. Auditions take place in December when six casts are selected to move on to the final show, which is held in April in the Wisconsin Union Theater (Overture Center for the Arts 2013). In preparation for the final show, the remaining six casts lengthen their shows by nine minutes to produce an 18-minute mini-musical comedy. The six mini-musical comedies are performed over a series of three nights. On the final night of the show awards are given to the top three shows determined by a panel of judges. Additional "Caption" awards are given for Best Musical Number, Best Use of Theme, Best Female Performer, Best Male Performer, Best Dance Break, and Funniest Show. The companies Each Humo company consists of members of a UW–Madison fraternity teamed with members of a sorority. Individuals independent of the Greek system also participate. Nine companies and shows are created every year, but only six shows make it through auditions to the final performance in April. Charities Proceeds from Humorology performances are donated to several local Madison children's charities. Some of the charities include the Boys and Girls Club, The Rainbow Project, and most recently the Badger Childhood Cancer Network. Changes In 2014 the fundraising structure of Humorology, Inc. was changed, with greater emphasis placed on the philanthropic aspect of the show. These changes brought the donations from a record low in 2013 to a record high in 2014. There was also a change in how the winning cast was chosen. Instead of the best show being selected, the best three shows were selected. Of the three casts picked, the winner was chosen based on the amount of funds the cast raised.

Adélaïde Diane de Cossé

Adélaïde Diane de Cossé, called "Mancinette", née Mazarini-Mancini (1742–1808), was a French court official. She served as the dame d'atour to queen Marie Antoinette from 1771 to 1775. She is known to have curbed the expenses of the queen's wardrobe during her time in office and created order in the queen's economy, which was however ruined by her successor. Life She was the daughter of Louis-Jules Mancini-Mazarini, duc de Nevers (1716–1798), and Hélène-Françoise-Angélique Phélypeaux de Pontchartrain (1715–1781), and married in 1760 to Louis Hercule Timoléon de Cossé-Brissac, duc de Brissac (1734–1792). They had one son, Jules Gabriel Timoléon, who died as a toddler, and one daughter, Adélaïde-Pauline-Rosalie, who lived to adulthood, married Victurnien-Jean-Baptiste de Rochechouart de Mortemart, duc de Mortemart, and had several children of her own. Appointment In September 1771, she was appointed dame d'atour to the dauphine after the death of her predecessor, Amable-Gabrielle de Villars. Her appointment took place in the midst of a conflict between Marie Antoinette and Madame du Barry. She had been given the office on the request of du Barry, but this was because her husband was an ally of du Barry's and she was expected to share his loyalties and act as an agent of the royal mistress. However, de Cossé had opposing opinions to those of her husband and actively allied with the crown princess against the royal mistress. Despite having du Barry to thank for her office, she refused her invitations and demonstrated her loyalty to the crown princess, which resulted in a chain of court scandals. Dame d'atour Adélaïde Diane de Cossé was described as an honest and serious-minded person. When she took on her duties, she was reportedly shocked over the disorder and extravagance in the household of Marie Antoinette. In 1771, Marie Antoinette was not yet interested in fashion, and the financial disorder of her household was the result of the neglect by Adélaïde Diane de Cossé's predecessor in the office. Amable-Gabrielle de Villars had been given the office of dame d'atour to Marie Antoinette upon her arrival in France because the entire household of the former queen had been transferred to the new crown princess upon her arrival, and de Villars had merely kept her position. In reality, however, Amable-Gabrielle de Villars had by 1770 became too old and infirm to manage her office, and during her tenure, the Household of the Dauphine had abused her de facto absence to drain the Dauphine's economy. Adélaïde Diane de Cossé managed to bring the finances in order and cooperated well with Florimond Claude, comte de Mercy-Argenteau. She kept her office when Marie Antoinette became queen in 1774. She resigned in protest in 1775 when the queen reintroduced the office of surintendante de la Maison de la Reine for her favorite, Marie Thérèse Louise de Savoy, princesse de Lamballe. De Cossé was temporarily succeeded as dame d'atour by Laure-Auguste de Fitz-James, princesse de Chimay, but more permanently by Marie-Jeanne de Mailly. By this point, Marie Antoinette had developed an interest in fashion, which was to eventually almost ruin her finances. The private economy of Marie Antoinette's wardrobe was not to be met with any restrictions until de Mailly's successor, Geneviève d'Ossun, took office and started to work towards curbing it. Later life Adélaïde Diane de Cossé spent the majority of the following years in Italy and in Nice, at that time a part of Savoy, as the warmer climate was judged better for her health. Her son, Jules Gabriel Timoléon, born in 1771, also suffered from poor health. She took him to Italy to improve, but he died in 1775. She lived estranged from her husband, who was the lover of Madame du Barry from 1785 until his death. On the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789, she had been in Italy since 1787, and remained she there during the revolution. In 1792, she was widowed when her husband was murdered during the September Massacres. Her father was imprisoned during the Reign of Terror, and she herself was placed upon the list of emigrée's and her fortune in France was confiscated. In 1797, her father, who had been released, was of ill health. She successfully applied to have herself removed from the emigrée list on the grounds that she had never emigrated during the Revolution, and to have her confiscated property restored by recommendation of General Joubert. She returned to France in September 1798. References 1742 births 1808 deaths French ladies-in-waiting

The Program Exchange

The Program Exchange was a syndicator of television programs. It was founded as DFS Program Exchange in 1979, which became elongated to the DFS-Dorland Program Exchange from 1986 to 1987. From 1986 to 2008, it was a division of Saatchi & Saatchi, an advertising agency (which acquired Dancer Fitzgerald Sample, the original owners), while merging with Dorland Advertising in 1986, and would later be acquired by Publicis in 2000. In January 2008, Publicis transferred The Program Exchange from the Saatchi & Saatchi subsidiary to its ZenithOptimedia subsidiary, the logo was then changed to reflect this move. In early 2016, the programexchange.com website was shut down; the shutdown coincided with NBCUniversal's purchase of one of its most prominent clients, DreamWorks Classics. The Program Exchange was a "barter syndicator," distributing programming on behalf of the shows' producers, many of them having their own cash distribution services. Instead of paying a cash fee, television stations who ran those programs agreed to a barter exchange (hence the syndicator name), wherein the station agreed to air a certain number of commercials for various products per program. This arrangement allowed for the programs to air on stations that may not have large budgets to acquire them. The Program Exchange typically distributed older programming that was no longer widely distributed in syndication, as well as programming designed to meet federal educational/information mandates. The Program Exchange continued to hold distribution rights to the Jay Ward Productions and Total Television archives throughout the exchange's existence; both of those companies' programs were produced at the DFS-owned Gamma Productions studios in Mexico until that studio shut down in 1968. The Program Exchange handled distribution for all titles listed below. The dates listed are the dates that they were distributed, not the dates they originally aired. History From the company's beginnings as DFS Program Exchange, which was originally headquartered in Dallas, the company's initial product was to syndicate several shows that were abandoned by other syndicators, such as Hanna-Barbera and Gamma Productions archives, who had made them more successful, such as Scooby-Doo and The Jetsons. The company grew with Olympic Champions, which starred Bruce Jenner, as its first ever live-action outing distributed by DFS themselves. In 1983, it purchased the exclusive syndication rights of Bewitched from Columbia Pictures Television. It also acquired the rights from CPT, the exclusive syndication rights to two other Screen Gems shows I Dream of Jeannie and The Partridge Family. These shows eventually grew into success that they wanted to came back to popularity. In 1985, DFS Program Exchange made its first bold move by syndicating their own straight barter strip Dennis the Menace, as well as U.S. syndicated rights to Woody Woodpecker and Friends, which came after the final MCA TV commitment expired in January 1988. In 1986, DFS was bought out by Saatchi & Saatchi, which was then merged with Dorland Advertising, another Saatchi & Saatchi subsidiary, and to reflect the organization, it was renamed to DFS-Dorland Program Exchange. In 1987, it was renamed shortly after to The Program Exchange. On March 14, 1988, it was moved to Hudson Street, New York. In 1990, Susan Radden was appointed vice president at the subsidiary. In 1993, the company made its major breakout hit when it picked up the off-net syndicated rights to the cartoon Garfield and Friends, which was announced on January 20, 1992, and be available on a barter basis. In 1997, The Program Exchange secured the syndication rights to the first 65 episodes of the original English dub of Sailor Moon. A year later, it helped DiC broadcast the remaining 17 episodes on Cartoon Network's programming block Toonami.

Grace Brethren Jr./Sr. High School (GBHS) is a co-educational, college-preparatory Christian school in Simi Valley, California serving grades 7–12. The school is one of three campuses in Simi Valley comprising the Grace Brethren Schools, the others being an elementary school (grades K—6) and a preschool. History Grace Brethren enrolled its first ninth-grade students in 1989. Those first ten students comprised the school's first graduating class in 1993. Academics Grace Brethren High School is home to the Space Brethren Cubesat Laboratory. Opened in 2018, this 200-square-foot facility allows students to design, build, and maintain a CubeSat miniature satellite as part of the school's STEM curriculum. The lab is operated in cooperation with General Dynamics Mission Systems and local businesses. Launch of the satellite is scheduled for 2020. Athletics Grace Brethren High School athletic teams are nicknamed the Lancers. The school is a member of the CIF Southern Section (CIF-SS) and competes in the Tri-County Athletic Association for all sports except football. From 2014 to 2019, the Lancers were members of the Marmonte Football Association for football. The Grace Brethren football team won back-to-back CIF-SS championships in 2017 and 2018 as well as the CIF State Division 2-AA championship in 2018. The Lancers also appeared in the CIF State Division 2-A title game in 2017. GBHS does not have an on-campus football stadium; the Lancers play home football games at Moorpark College. Grace Brethren's 2020 football season was postponed to spring 2021, shortened, and ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2021, head coach Josh Henderson announced his retirement, prompting few players to return for the abbreviated season. The school also suspended its youth football program for at least a year. In April, Grace Brethren announced it was leaving the Marmonte Football Association.

Yanita Utama

Yanita Utama football club was an Indonesian semi professional association football club from Bogor, West Java. The club was founded in 1979 under the name Jaka Utama, headquartered in Lampung. It was involved in a bribery case in Lampung, then Jaka Utama was bought by a businessman from Pitoyo Haryanto from Bogor and changed its name to Yanita Utama in 1983 by paying compensation of 25 million rupiah. The introduction and inauguration of the new name was carried out by holding a small tournament called the 1983 Yanita Utama Cup, which was held at the Persija Stadium, Menteng, Central Jakarta. Only four clubs took part in the championship, namely Mercu Buana (Medan), Pardedetex (Medan), Arseto (Solo), and Yanita Utama (Bogor) as hosts. Besides aiming to introduce the name of Yanita Utama, the tournament was also intended to raise funds for the improvement of the Pajajaran Stadium, Bogor. In the title Galatama 1983/1984 season, Yanita Utama participated and immediately won. That season was the first time Galatama used the final round format. The big four from the western and eastern regions strolled into the last 8. In the final, Yanita Utama defeated Mercu Buana 1-0. The winning goal was scored by Bujang Nasril. Yanita Utama's glory in their first season following Galatama could not be separated from the role of the star players at the time, such as Joko Malis, Rudy Keltjes, Bambang Nurdiansyah, etc. This was conveyed by Maura Helly, one of the players who helped bring the champion Yanita Utama. Yanita Utama Bogor were collapsed in 1985 and all players move to Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian Palembang.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global%20Assembly%20Cache

Global Assembly Cache

The Global Assembly Cache (GAC) is a machine-wide CLI assembly cache for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) in Microsoft's .NET Framework. The approach of having a specially controlled central repository addresses the flaws in the shared library concept and helps to avoid pitfalls of other solutions that led to drawbacks like DLL hell. Requirements Assemblies residing in the GAC must adhere to a specific versioning scheme which allows for side-by-side execution of different code versions. Specifically, such assemblies must be strongly named. Usage There are two ways to interact with the GAC: the Global Assembly Cache Tool (gacutil.exe) and the Assembly Cache Viewer (shfusion.dll). Global Assembly Cache Tool gacutil.exe is an older command-line utility that shipped with .NET 1.1 and is still available with the .NET SDK. One can check the availability of a shared assembly in GAC by using the command: gacutil.exe /l <assemblyName> One can register a shared assembly in the GAC by using the command: gacutil.exe /i <assemblyName> Or by copying an assembly file into the following location: %windir%\assembly\ Note that for .NET 4.0 the GAC location is now: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\assembly\ Other options for this utility will be briefly described if you use the /? flag, i.e.: gacutil.exe /? Assembly Cache Viewer The newer interface, the Assembly Cache Viewer, is integrated into Windows Explorer. Browsing %windir%\assembly\ (for example, C:\WINDOWS\assembly) or %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\assembly, displays the assemblies contained in the cache along with their versions, culture, public key token, and processor architecture. Assemblies are installed by dragging and dropping and uninstalled by selecting and pressing the delete key or using the context menu. With the launch of the .NET Framework 4, the Assembly Cache Viewer shell extension is obsolete. Example of use A computer has two CLI assemblies both named AssemblyA, but one is version 1.0 and the other is version 2.0. Since it is required that both be compiled to a file named AssemblyA, they cannot exist in the same directory within the FAT32 file system. Instead, the virtual file system of the GAC can be used by programs that need to use each version of the assembly specifically. Implementation The GAC as a construct does not actually exist within the Windows OS. It is implemented and managed by the CLI. The folders within %systemroot% named assembly and Microsoft.NET\assembly (for .NET 4.0) contain all globally available assemblies with managed filenames so that the version and public key tokens can be included. Each version can therefore exist within the same location and be called without requiring subsequent versions to preserve code entry point locations as usual. Windows Explorer allows the drag-and-drop installation of assemblies into this folder only if they would otherwise be permitted to be installed from the command line. A calling application may specify a version of an assembly when referencing it, so the run-time can simply refer to the filename to use the correct one. Pitfalls The Global Assembly Cache mechanism helps to avoid older DLL hell, but it still has some drawbacks, such as: By default, applications will only run with the version of the .NET Framework used to compile it, which can cause the application to fail on machines with newer versions of the .NET Framework installed — even when the application would normally run properly with the newer version. It is sometimes necessary to use conditional compilation if some of the core .NET calls (used in the application) are only supported for some versions of the framework. .NET applications that rely on native code risk incompatibilities, even with the GAC mechanism. Every assembly that is added to the GAC must be strongly named. The process of making an assembly "strongly named" can be quite painful in some situations. For example, if an assembly depends on another assembly that is not strongly named, it cannot be registered in the GAC. In cases where the code of the third-party assembly is not in the programmer's possession, transforming the assembly to be strongly named can in fact be impossible. Browsing for files using standard Windows APIs doesn't allow selection of DLLs located under the "assembly" folder when Explorer is showing the user-friendly view of the GAC.

Ottawa SkyHawks

The Ottawa SkyHawks were a Canadian professional basketball team based in Ottawa, Ontario. The SkyHawks played in the Central Division of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBL Canada) during a single season. Financial difficulty resulted in the team receiving a loan from the league in order to finish the 2013-14 season. NBL Canada announced that the SkyHawks would not participate in the 2014-15 season when the team failed to comply with the terms of the loan. History On November 13, 2012, National Basketball League of Canada (NBL Canada) announced that an Ottawa expansion team would join the league for the 2013-14 season. At a news conference on November 21, 2012, Gus Takkale, President of Bytown Sports & Entertainment and the person heading up the ownership group, confirmed the franchise would put a team on the court in the fall of 2013. Following a name-the-team contest, the team unveiled their nickname, the "TomaHawks", a logo, and colours on February 26, 2013. However, just hours after the announcement, social media erupted with people upset over what they felt to be a culturally insensitive nickname. After an outcry, the Ottawa NBL team will no longer be called the TomaHawks. It was announced at an event on April 4, 2013 that the team would be named the Ottawa SkyHawks. The SkyHawks finished in fourth (of five) place in the Central Division in the 2013-14 season, and failed to make the playoffs after losing a wildcard game against the Mississauga Power. The team struggled to sell tickets and required a loan from the league in order to finish the season. The team had failed to repay any of the loan by July 31, 2014, and NBL Canada's Board of Governors voted 8-0 to remove Bytown Sports & Entertainment from the league for failing to "adhere to league standards as set out in the operating agreement, and deadlines set forth to prepare for the season." The SkyHawks will not play in the 2014-15 season, but NBL Canada affirmed their commitment to have a team in Ottawa again as early as the 2015-16 season but it never happened. Home arenas Canadian Tire Centre (2013-14) Originally opened in 1996, the Canadian Tire Centre is a multi-purpose arena, located in the western suburb of Kanata, in Ottawa, Ontario. The arena has seating for 19,153 and a capacity of 20,500 including standing room. The arena hosts ice hockey, basketball, music concerts, skating, and other entertainment events. It is home to the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, several restaurants, a fitness complex, and several businesses. The SkyHawks shared the arena with the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League. Occasional games Cégep de l'Outaouais - The SkyHawks played 2 games on the campus of Cégep de l'Outaouais during the 2013-14 NBL season.

This means that the body is sensitive to something that causes the skin and mucous membranes to react. The more common mild form is refer to as EM minor. It consists of a skin rash that involve no more than one mucosal surface. The sudden onset will progress rapidly as symmetrical lesions with circular color changes in some or all of the lesions. Rash will spread towards center or trunk of the body. Evenly distributed bumps on the skin become classic iris or target lesions. They have bright red borders and small white bumps in the center. The cause of EM appears to be a highly sensitive reaction that can be triggered by a variety of causes. The causes can include bacterial, viral or chemical products, such as antibiotics – specifically penicillins or cephalosporins. This reaction is an allergic reaction and is in no way contagious. Erythema multiforme minor is sometimes divided into papular and vesiculobullous forms. See also Erythema Diascopy Erythema multiforme List of cutaneous conditions References External links Erythemas

Katherine River

Katherine River is located in the Northern Territory, Australia. Its headwaters are in Nitmiluk National Park, it flows through the town of Katherine, and is a major tributary of the Daly River. The Katherine River drops around 384m over its 328 km length. History The first European to see and name the river was the Scottish explorer John McDouall Stuart on 4 July 1862, who named it Katherine after Catherine Chambers, the second daughter of expedition sponsor, the pastoralist James Chambers. The major town Katherine was named after the river. In late January 1998, heavy rain associated with Cyclone Les raised the level of the river by more than 20 metres and flooded a large part of Katherine town. A more recent flood on 6 April 2006 caused a state of emergency to be declared. During this event the river peaked at a height of just below 19 metres at the Katherine bridge on the Stuart Highway. Wildlife Freshwater crocodiles inhabit the entire river, but while saltwater crocodiles are capable of travelling far upstream, no attacks have been recorded.

James Hommyll

James Hommyll (floruit 1473-1515), was a wealthy merchant in Edinburgh. The surname may also be spelled as "Hommyl" or "Homyl". James Hommyll was the son of a royal tailor, also called "James Hommyll". James Hommyll the elder, and James III His father, also called James Hommyll, was the king's tailor. In August 1573 he made a black velvet doublet with a "side gown" for James III of Scotland from French black woollen cloth supplied by Walter Bertraham. Bertraham had a substantial house on the Royal Mile, used, after his death, as a lodging for the Spanish ambassador Pedro de Ayala in 1496. In 1474 Hommyll lined a blue gown for the king with cloth called "tartare" supplied by Issabell Williamsone. In January 1478 the king gave him an annual pension of £20. He was regarded as a member of the king's household, and given £20 to repair his own house. It has been suggested that the tailor was one of the favourites of James III who were executed at Lauder Bridge in 1482 during the crisis following the invasion of Scotland by the English, but his pension was paid for a number of years after that date. He was forfeited in 1488 for quitting Scotland after the battle of Sauchieburn, joining an embassy in England from James III against the supporters of his son, but was pardoned by James IV. Career James Hommyll was a merchant involved in the Flanders trade. He supplied James IV with crimson satin and other cloth for a doublet on St Mungo's day 1495. Hommyll provided James IV and Margaret Tudor with tapestries for decorating the palaces. These included; a piece with the subject of Hercules, two pieces of Susanna sewn together, a Susanna bed cover, a Solomon, and a Marcus Coriolanus. The king bought a hat of fine scarlet cloth from James Hommyll in December 1503. The king bought clothes for his younger brother William Hommyll, who was a courtier and, like his brother, a merchant trading in Flanders goods. The clothes were made of fabric bought from James Homyll. James IV sent William Hommyl as his messenger to Portugal in December 1503. In 1503 or 1504 Hommyll hosted some servants of the King of Spain in his house in Edinburgh. On 26 November 1504 four African people who had been at Dunfermline Palace, who were recorded in the royal accounts as "Ethiopians", were lodged in his house, probably including Ellen More and her sister Margaret. Hommyll also hosted a Portuguese man who was escorting the African people, and two horses and other animals belonging to the king. On 11 December an African described as the "More las" was christened. In July 1505 a Leith mariner and timber merchant William Wod received a reward of £12 Scots from the king for the freight of African people on the River Forth to the court at Stirling Castle accompanied by a horse from Portugal, a jennet horse, and a must cat. In March 1507 the king bought an "image" from Hommyll costing £18 Scots which was perhaps a devotional painting or sculpture. In January 1508 he supplied gold leaf to the king's painter, a Flemish artist known as Piers who may have painted the portrait of James IV now at Abbotsford House. Houses in Edinburgh James Hommyll and his wife Helen owned a property on the south side of the High Street in Edinburgh, located within a tenement belonging to Lord Borthwick. On 2 March 1507 they transferred it to their son, and to their daughter Marion Hommyll, if the son died without heirs. The others who occupied "lands" in Lord Borthwick's tenement were Henry Martyne (deceased), John Wilson, Robert Barbour, (deceased), and John Gren. The Hommyll land had rooms on two floors. In September 1511 Hommyll received compensation from Janet Lyell, wife of the baker Robert Anderson, for the burning of his house. Their bakery was located next to Lord Borthwick's tenement, in Henry Rynd's land. It seems that Ellen More and her companions had been lodged in Lord Borthwick's land next to the bakery in the winter of 1504. In December 1510 Hommyll made over a rental called an "annual rent" from another property on the south side of the High Street, "beyond the Over Bow", for the benefit of the altar of St Anthony in St Giles' Kirk. Hommyll and Andrew Halyburton Several Scottish merchants and others had dealings with Andrew Halyburton. Halyburton was a merchant and official stationed at Middelburg in Flanders where he was the "Conservator of the Scottish Staple", or "Conservator of the Scottish privileges in the Low Countries". A notebook or ledger recording his merchant dealings survived in his family and is now held by the National Records of Scotland. Halyburton worked in partnership with Hommyll and called him "his brother". Homyll travelled to Middelburg and Halyburton would send money back to Scotland with him for his other clients. Hommyll delivered a clock in a new case that Halyburton had ordered to be repaired for the Bishop of Aberdeen, and took some items to England for Halyburton. Halyburton paid a debt for Hommyll to Jerome Frescobaldi in Antwerp. Frescobaldi supplied textiles to James IV. Hommyll sent gifts of salmon to Frescobaldi, which Halyburton delivered. Halyburton sold Hommyll velvet and dye-stuffs. Hommyll, like many other clients of Halyburton, sent sacks of wool which Halyburton sold to Flanders merchants. Some of the wool was from Melrose, some from (Ettrick) Forest. Some lower quality wool was described as "middling". A large part of Halyburton's business was exchanging Scottish primary products for Flanders luxury goods.

John David Gullett

John David Gullett (born 1875 or 1880; died 1935) was an American architect based in Goldsboro in Wayne County, North Carolina. He practiced in North Carolina from 1920 until his death in 1935. Several of his works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It has been asserted that he "is chiefly remembered for the Colonial- and Classical Revival-style dwellings he designed in Goldsboro." Thirteen works by Gullett in North Carolina, all built of brick between 1922 and 1935, are known to have survived to 2000. "Of these, the former Mount Olive High School remains one of his most significant designs in its utilatarian yet refined treatment of Classical Revival decoration and form." That school has also been described as Gullett's "most ambitious undertaking". Gullett was born either in 1875 or 1880 in Amite City, Louisiana. Per his 1935 obituary he trained as an architect in Mississippi. By 1908 he was an architect in Birmingham, Alabama, partnering with Daniel Helmich (1854-1917) who designed the 1901 Birmingham City Hall and retired in 1913. Gullett had an office in the Brown-Marx Building in Birmingham in 1910, at which time he was living with Daniel Helmich and Helmich's wife. Gullett married sometime during 1910-1912, and became a draftsman for architect H.B. Wheelock in 1912. He left that employment by 1917 and was again practicing on his own in 1917. The Wheelock Building, a brick Classical Revival style commercial building designed by Wheelock's firm, has exterior details similar to those of Gullett's later non-residential works in North Carolina. Gullett took and passed North Carolina's Architectural Board exam in 1920 in order to practice in North Carolina, which he did until his death in 1935. Works include: John Clifford Grimsley House (c.1916), 432 10th St., Fayette, Alabama, NRHP-listed. Deemed the best (and only) high-style Classical Revival-style house in Fayette County. Lee-Gaylor House (by 1922), Goldsboro, NC, Colonial Revival John R. Taylor House (by 1922), Goldsboro, NC, Colonial Revival Harry Fitzhugh Lee House (1922), 310 W. Walnut St., Goldsboro, NC, NRHP-listed Colonial Revival in style. Dillard High School (1922), 431 W. Elm St., Goldsboro, Wayne County, North Carolina, a school for African Americans, was probably but not certainly designed by Gullett. Mount Olive High School (Former) (1925), 100 Wooten St., Mount Olive, Wayne County, North Carolina, NRHP-listed Jesse S. Claypoole House (1925), New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina Nahunta School (1928), Nahunta, Wayne County, North Carolina. Classical Revival in style.

His remains were buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Birmingham, Alabama. After his death Allen J. Maxwell, Jr., "thought to have been Gullett's protege, took over Gullett's unfinished commissions."

State (magazine)

State.ie (formerly State Magazine) was an Irish website and, before, a monthly music magazine. It launched in April 2008 and switched to online-only distribution in January 2009 after having published a total of ten issues. The magazine continued online until 2020, when that year's edition of its Faces series prominently mentioned the website having seized publication. It enjoyed a good run and was voted Best Music Site in 2008 and Best Web Publication in 2010 in the Irish Web Awards. Originally, the concept of the magazine involved a hard copy of which there was a charge to purchase. However after six issues it was decided to make the magazine's content free both online and in print. The first issue, April 2008, appeared on Irish shelves on 6 March 2008 and featured Michael Stipe of R.E.M. on the cover. This immediately garnered comparisons between the new magazine's similarities with Hot Press who featured Stipe on their cover at the same time, a move widely thought to be an attempt by Hot Press to stifle State's status as a serious 'alternative' to the more established local magazine. At a price of €5.50, State charged €2 more than Hot Press. State was published by Roger Woolman and edited by Hot Press alumni Phil Udell. Contributors included Evening Herald columnist, The Irish Times reviewer and blogger Sinéad Gleeson, Rolling Stone writer Kara Manning, award-winning blogger Niall Byrne (a.k.a. Nialler9), Event Guide writer David O'Mahony and The Star feature writer Tanya Sweeney. The magazine's art director, Simon Roche, was named designer of the year by the Periodical Publishers Association of Ireland in December 2008. From October 2008 until January 2009 the magazine was made available for free of charge from a number of venues around Ireland's major cities and online from the magazine's website, following a number of other magazines such as Mongrel, Connected and Analogue Magazine in providing their print content free of charge. The first freely distributed issue of State featured Kings of Leon on the cover. After January 2009, the magazine was only available online from its website. Issues The first six issues were available for a fee. Cross-border collaborations State.ie linked up with AU magazine of Belfast in 2009 to co-host what was described as "a series of cross-border gigs" designed to promote Northern Irish musicians in Ireland.

Alexander Bonnyman Jr.

Alexander "Sandy" Bonnyman Jr. (May 2, 1910 – November 23, 1943) was a United States Marine Corps officer who was killed in action on Betio Atoll in the Gilbert Islands during World War II. A combat engineer, he received the Medal of Honor, Purple Heart, Presidential Unit Citation, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with three Bronze Stars and the World War II Victory Medal posthumously for his actions during the strategically important assault on a Japanese bombproof shelter during the Battle of Tarawa. Early life and career Born on May 2, 1910, in Atlanta, Georgia, Bonnyman's family moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, when he was a baby. His father was the president of Knoxville's Blue Diamond Coal Company. Bonnyman attended Princeton University where he studied engineering and played football. Dropping out of college after his sophomore year, he signed up for the Army Air Corps and entered flight training in June 1932. He was discharged three months later "By reason of flying deficiency," though his character was rated as "excellent." He then worked in the coal industry before moving to New Mexico, where he started a copper mining business. Marine Corps service At the outbreak of the war, Bonnyman was exempt from any military obligation due to his role in running a company producing strategically vital material for the war effort. Nevertheless, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps as a private at Phoenix, Arizona. Bonnyman received his recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, California. In October 1942, Bonnyman sailed for the South Pacific aboard the . He distinguished himself at the Battle of Guadalcanal as part of a Marine pioneer unit (lightly equipped combat engineers). In February 1943, he received a battlefield commission to the rank of second lieutenant in recognition of what his superiors described as exceptional leadership skills. Bonnyman's civilian background, temperament and skills would come to play an important role at Tarawa in November 1943, where he was assigned to a shore party handling beachhead logistics. When the assault troops were pinned down by heavy enemy artillery fire at the seaward end of the long Betio Pier, on his own initiative Bonnyman organized and led five men over the open pier to the beach. There he voluntarily obtained flame throwers and demolitions and directed the blowing up of several hostile installations. On the second day of the struggle, Bonnyman, determined to breach the enemy's strong defensive line, led a demolition team of 21 Marines in an assault on the entrance to a huge bombproof shelter which contained approximately 150 Japanese soldiers. The enemy position was about forty yards forward of the Marine lines. Bonnyman advanced his team to the mouth of the position and killed many of the defenders. His team was forced to withdraw to replenish its supply of ammunition and grenades. Bonnyman again pressed his attack and gained the top of the structure, thereby flushing more than one hundred of its occupants into the open where they were cut down by Marine infantry and a supporting tank. When the Japanese returned fire, Bonnyman stood on the forward edge of the position and killed three of the attackers, but was himself killed as he ordered more charges brought forward. The battle continued for another 10–15 minutes, with all of the Japanese defenders flushed out. Of Bonnyman's original assault party of 21 Marines, 13 had survived. Betio Island was declared secured on the same day. Medal of Honor For his actions during the battle, Bonnyman was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. The medal was formally presented to his family by Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal in 1947. His 12-year-old daughter, Frances, accepted the medal on behalf of the Bonnyman family. Remains According to the Defense Missing Personnel Office, Bonnyman's remains were "non-recovered". After the war, the Graves Registration Service recorded his body as having been buried at sea, however this report was later determined to be unfounded. The remains of 36 Marines, including Bonnyman's, were interred in a battlefield cemetery whose location was lost by the end of the war. The cemetery was located in March 2015 by History Flight, Inc., a Florida-based nonprofit that has recovered more than 70 sets of now-identified remains from Betio. Bonnyman's grandson, Clay Bonnyman Evans, a volunteer with History Flight, was present when Lt. Bonnyman's remains were exposed on May 28, 2015, and exhumed on May 29, and recorded the recovery via video and still photographs. Evans' book, Bones of My Grandfather: Reclaiming a Lost Hero of World War II, which recounts his grandfather's life story and the history of the recovery efforts, was published July 10, 2018. On 26 July 2015, the bodies were repatriated to the United States, arriving at Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam in Honolulu Hawaii. On August 27, 2015, his remains were identified and on September 25, 2015, he was returned to his childhood home town of Knoxville, Tennessee. He was interred with full military honors and an overflight of Marine Corps Cobra helicopters in "missing man formation" next to his parents and siblings at West Knoxville's Berry Highland Memorial Cemetery on September 27, 2015. Awards and honors The Pellissippi Parkway bridge over the Tennessee River on the Knox-Blount county line in Tennessee is designated the Lt. Alexander "Sandy" Bonnyman Memorial Bridge in his memory. The bowling alley aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is also named in his memory. The Strategic Sealift ship MV 1st Lt. Alex Bonnyman (T-AK 3003), a Corporal Louis J. Hauge Jr.-class vessel, was named in his honor. Medal of Honor citation The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR posthumously to for service as set forth in the following CITATION: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Executive Officer of the 2d Battalion Shore Party, 8th Marines, 2d Marine Division, during the assault against enemy Japanese-held Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands, 20–22 November 1943. Acting on his own initiative when assault troops were pinned down at the far end of Betio Pier by the overwhelming fire of Japanese shore batteries, 1st Lt. Bonnyman repeatedly defied the blasting fury of the enemy bombardment to organize and lead the besieged men over the long, open pier to the beach and then, voluntarily obtaining flame throwers and demolitions, organized his pioneer shore party into assault demolitionists and directed the blowing of several hostile installations before the close of D-day. Determined to effect an opening in the enemy's strongly organized defense line the following day, he voluntarily crawled approximately 40 yards forward of our lines and placed demolitions in the entrance of a large Japanese emplacement as the initial move in his planned attack against the heavily garrisoned, bombproof installation which was stubbornly resisting despite the destruction early in the action of a large number of Japanese who had been inflicting heavy casualties on our forces and holding up our advance. Withdrawing only to replenish his ammunition, he led his men in a renewed assault, fearlessly exposing himself to the merciless slash of hostile fire as he stormed the formidable bastion, directed the placement of demolition charges in both entrances and seized the top of the bombproof position, flushing more than 100 of the enemy who were instantly cut down, and effecting the annihilation of approximately 150 troops inside the emplacement. Assailed by additional Japanese after he had gained his objective, he made a heroic stand on the edge of the structure, defending his strategic position with indomitable determination in the face of the desperate charge and killing 3 of the enemy before he fell, mortally wounded. By his dauntless fighting spirit, unrelenting aggressiveness and forceful leadership throughout 3 days of unremitting, violent battle, 1st Lt. Bonnyman had inspired his men to heroic effort, enabling them to beat off the counterattack and break the back of hostile resistance in that sector for an immediate gain of 400 yards with no further casualties to our forces in this zone. He gallantly gave his life for his country. HARRY S. TRUMAN See also List of Medal of Honor recipients for World War II References Alexander, Joseph H. (1995).

South Carolina General Assembly

The South Carolina General Assembly, also called the South Carolina Legislature, is the state legislature of the U.S. state of South Carolina. The legislature is bicameral and consists of the lower South Carolina House of Representatives and the upper South Carolina Senate. All together, the General Assembly consists of 170 members. The legislature convenes at the State House in Columbia. Prior to the 1964 federal Reynolds v. Sims decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, each county doubled as a legislative district, with each county electing one senator and at least one representative. Moreover, each county's General Assembly delegation also doubled as its county council, as the state constitution made no provision for local government. The "one man, one vote" provision of Reynolds v. Sims caused district lines to cross county lines, causing legislators to be on multiple county councils. This led to the passage of the Home Rule Act of 1975, which created county councils that were independent of the General Assembly. However, the General Assembly still retains considerable authority over local government. As a result, the legislature still devotes considerable time to local matters, and county legislative delegations still handle many matters that are handled by county governments in the rest of the country. There are 124 members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, who are elected every two years, and the South Carolina Senate has 46 members, elected every four years concurrent to the presidential election. For both houses, there are no term limits. The General Assembly meets in joint session to elect judges, with all 170 members having an equal vote in such elections.

ADAMTS1

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAMTS1 gene. Function This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif) protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The protein encoded by this gene contains two disintegrin loops and three C-terminal TS motifs and has anti-angiogenic activity. The expression of this gene may be associated with various inflammatory processes as well as development of cancer cachexia. This gene is likely to be necessary for normal growth, fertility, and organ morphology and function. Interactions ADAMTS1 has been shown to interact with Vascular endothelial growth factor A.

Bicycle parking

Bicycle parking typically requires a degree of security to prevent theft. The context for bike parking requires proper infrastructure and equipment (bike racks, bicycle locks etc.) for secure and convenient storage. Parking facilities include lockers, racks, manned or unmanned bicycle parking stations including automated facilities, covered areas, and legal arrangements for ad hoc parking alongside railings and other street furniture. Overview Bicycle parking is an important part of a municipality's cycling infrastructure and as such is studied in the discipline of bicycle transportation engineering. When bicycle parking facilities are scarce or inadequate, nearby trees or parking meters are often used instead. Sections of existing car parks can often be retrofitted as cycle parking, offering advantages of location, cover, security, and parking for more people. In addition to car parking, town planning policies and regulations increasingly require provisions for bicycle parking in new developments. Many mass transit stations include bicycle parking in the form of bike racks or purpose-built bicycle parking stations to facilitate mixed-mode commuting. Secure bicycle parking is arguably a key factor that influences the decision to cycle. To be considered secure, parking facilities must be of a suitable design; allowing the bicycle to be locked via the frame (see bicycle parking rack). A readily observable location can also permit so-called passive security from passers-by. Weather protection is also desirable. As a rule, where cycling is encouraged as an alternative to motoring, efforts should be made to make bicycle parking more convenient and attractive to use than nearby car parking arrangements. This usually means providing a wide distribution of visible, clearly designated parking spots, close to the entrances of destinations being served. Storage rooms or bicycle lockers may also be provided. In some cases, large concentrations of bike parking may be more appropriate, sometimes being supervised and sometimes fee-based. Examples include bicycle parking stations at public transport interchanges such as railway, subway, tram, bus stations or ferry ports where they may be useful in mixed-mode commuting. Conversely, where cycling is seen as an unwelcome or inappropriate activity, or there is a lack of knowledge about best practices, bicycle parking may simply not be provided or else placed at awkward, distant, and out-of-sight locations. Cyclists may be expressly forbidden from parking their bicycles at the most convenient locations. In April 2007, the authorities at the University of California's Santa Barbara campus started confiscating bicycles parked at other than official bike racks. Some property owners or municipal authorities display signage on fencing to discourage bicyclists from locking their bicycles.

François Engongah Owono

François Engongah Owono (born 17 July 1945) is a Gabonese politician. He was long identified with the reformist faction of the Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG) during the rule of President Omar Bongo, holding various important posts. After serving in the government of Gabon as Minister of National Education from 2004 to 2006, he was President of the National Council of Communication from 2006 to 2009 and then Minister of State for Labor in 2009. Under Bongo's son and successor, Ali Bongo, Engongah Owono held the key post of Secretary-General of the Presidency from October 2009 to January 2011. Political career A member of the Fang ethnic group, Engongah Owono was born at Oyem in 1945. An influential member of the PDG's reformist faction (rénovateurs), he was Secretary of State under the Minister of Regional Development Planning from May 1990 to November 1990, then Secretary of State under the Minister of Equipment and Construction from November 1990 to July 1991. He was appointed as an Adviser at the Presidency in 1991. In 1995, Engongah Owono was designated as National Secretary of the PDG for Litigation, Enforcement of Discipline, and Elections. In the December 2001 parliamentary election, he was elected to the National Assembly as a PDG candidate in Oyem, receiving 50.21% of the vote. A year later, he was appointed to the government as Minister-Delegate under the Minister of State for Agriculture on 12 November 2002, and he took office on 18 November. In the December 2002 local elections, he led one of the PDG's two lists in Oyem. Engongah Owono was promoted to the post of Minister of National Education on 5 September 2004. At the time of the November 2005 presidential election, he was President Omar Bongo's campaign coordinator in Oyem. He remained Minister of National Education until Bongo appointed him as President of the National Council of Communication on 19 January 2006. After three years in the latter post, he was instead appointed as Minister of State for Labor and Employment on 14 January 2009. Engongah Owono was one of Ali Bongo's key allies over the years, and after Omar Bongo died in June 2009, Ali was nominated as the PDG's presidential candidate. At the time of the August 2009 presidential election, Engongah Owono was Ali Bongo's campaign coordinator in Woleu-Ntem Province. On 16 October 2009, when Bongo took office as President, he immediately moved Engongah Owono from his post as Minister of State for Labor to that of Secretary-General of the Presidency. As Secretary-General of the Presidency, Engongah Owono held a position of crucial importance, and some suspected that he would wield powers akin to those of a prime minister. On 17 October 2009, Engongah Owono announced the composition of the first government to be appointed by Bongo. He said that the reduction of the number of ministers—from 44 to 29—had been done in an efficient manner and that the new government's "main mission" would be "putting the country back to work". Engongah Owono served as Secretary-General of the Presidency for a little over a year; President Bongo appointed Laure Olga Gondjout to replace him on 14 January 2011. His dismissal was linked to his age, as he was past the official age limit for his position, and apparently marked the end of his political career.

2009 Tour de France, Stage 12 to Stage 21

These were the individual stages of the 2009 Tour de France, with Stage 12 on 16 July and Stage 21 on 26 July. Stages s.t. indicates that the rider crossed the finish line in the same group as the one receiving the time above him, and was therefore credited with the same finishing time. Stage 12 16 July 2009 – Tonnerre to Vittel, 200 km This was considered a flat stage, but had six hills that contributed points towards the climbers' competition. After some unsuccessful attempts at breakaways early in the stage, after 64 km Laurent Lefèvre started a breakaway. He was followed by the leader in the polka dot jersey category, Egoi Martínez, and the third-placed rider in that category, Franco Pellizotti, along with Sylvain Calzati, Markus Fothen, and Rémi Pauriol. Ten km later, they were joined by Nicki Sørensen. The peloton was led by Nocentini's team, with no effort made by the teams of the sprinters to chase down the escape group. The lead held by the escape group increased over the last 40 km, from less than four minutes to over six. With 22 km remaining, Sørensen launched an attack with only Calzati joining him. At 5.5 km, he again attacked, dropping Calzati and remaining clear to win the stage by 48 seconds. Mark Cavendish had said that he was interested in earning stage wins rather than pursuing the points jersey. However, he increased his lead in that competition by taking points at the first intermediate sprint of the day and leading the peloton home. Potential GC contenders Levi Leipheimer and Cadel Evans were involved in a fall in the closing stages of the race, but as the incident was within the last 3 km they were credited with the same time as the rest of the peloton. But before stage 13, Leipheimer would abandon the race due to a broken wrist. Stage 13 17 July 2009 – Vittel to Colmar, 200 km This was a medium-mountain stage, with five categorized climbs, including one first category mountain, the Col du Platzerwasel. Christophe Moreau launched an attack after just 3 km, and was joined by Juan Manuel Gárate, Jens Voigt, Rigoberto Urán, Heinrich Haussler, Sylvain Chavanel and Rubén Pérez. These last three moved away from the rest of the escape on the descent from the first climb, and while the rest of the escapees returned to the peloton, the lead trio gained an advantage of 9'10" on the second climb. Pérez was dropped on the climb of the day's highest mountain, and Haussler dropped Chavanel on its descent, and rode the last 50 km alone to win the stage more than 6½ minutes ahead of the peloton. A late attack by Amets Txurruka and Brice Feillu allowed the former to gain several minutes on the peloton, but Feillu, only 4'26" behind the yellow jersey at the start of the day failed to keep pace with his fellow escaper, and once it was clear that he would not make a serious challenge to the overall leadership, the peloton eased its chase, and riders who had become detached from the elite group were able to rejoin the peloton, including Thor Hushovd who took enough points in the final placings to regain the green jersey. Franco Pellizotti took points on three of the five climbs, thus gaining enough points to assume leadership of the King of the Mountains classification. Simon Špilak finished the stage alone more than ¾ hour behind Haussler, but the Tour officials acknowledged that he had been delayed by errors in re-opening the roads to the public earlier than should have been done, and that this contributed to his late finish, and so he was not eliminated. Óscar Freire and Julian Dean were both hit by pellets fired from an air gun during the stage, but were able to continue on the Tour. Stage 14 18 July 2009 – Colmar to Besançon, 199 km This was a relatively flat stage, with a category 3 climb either side of the halfway point. A woman was killed and two other spectators injured when they were hit by a police motorcycle in Wittelsheim, the first fatality connected to the Tour since 2002. A fourteen man break, initiated after 14 km, by Martijn Maaskant dominated the day's racing. The group was reduced to 12 as Mark Cavendish made a tactical decision to return to the peloton, and Jens Voigt had a puncture inefficiently repaired by the neutral service vehicle, but otherwise remained clear, with a lead that reached nearly nine minutes. Among the escapees were George Hincapie, who started the day in 28th place, 5'25" behind the leader, and Christophe Le Mével, two places and 38 seconds further back. The team of the yellow jersey wearer Rinaldo Nocentini seemed to be unwilling or unable to defend his overall lead, and the pace of the peloton was dictated for most of the stage by , and in the latter stages by . As it became clear that day's winner would come from among the group, there were several attacks, of which the effort by Sergei Ivanov with 11 km remaining was decisive. He won the stage by 16 seconds, with the peloton recovering enough time to preserve Nocentini's tenure of the yellow jersey by 5 seconds. It was suggested that Garmin's role in preventing Hincapie gaining the overall lead was influenced by their rivalry with his , but this was denied. Green jersey rivals Mark Cavendish and Thor Hushovd were in a hotly contested sprint at the head of the peloton, and although Cavendish finished ahead, he was later relegated to the last position in the peloton for "irregular sprinting", specifically maneuvering Hushovd toward a barricade in the final 300 meters, with a net loss of 14 points to his Norwegian rival. Stage 15 19 July 2009 – Pontarlier to Verbier (Switzerland), 207 km The Tour reached the Alps, with four third category climbs in the first half of the stage, and the second half featuring the second category climb on the Col des Mosses (1,445 m elevation) and the race's second mountaintop finish at Verbier in Switzerland, at about the same elevation. Tom Boonen did not start the stage, and Vladimir Efimkin, who started in the top 20 overall, withdrew about halfway through the stage. Several early attacks failed to get any lasting gap ahead of the peloton, although they did allow Franco Pellizotti to increase his lead in the climbers' competition. The longest lasting escape of the day took place after 40 km, and had a number of changes of personnel before it settled to a body of ten riders, including Mikel Astarloza who was 18th overall, 3'02" behind the leader, at the beginning of the day, and who was "virtual leader" until the last 40 km. Rinaldo Nocentini's team made little effort to defend his position as overall leader, and the and teams dominated the chase to the bottom of the climb to Verbier. The breakaway was overhauled by most of the contenders for a high overall placing, with Denis Menchov the most notable absentee from the selection, Simon Špilak having survived for longest. As on the climb to Arcalis, Alberto Contador made a telling attack on the elite group, this time with 6 km remaining, and only Andy Schleck went in pursuit. Contador continued to increase his lead all the way to the line, winning both the stage and the yellow jersey. Andy Schleck came in second and took over the white jersey from Tony Martin after 13 stages. Rest day 20 July 2009 – Verbier (Switzerland) The second rest day took place where the previous day's stage ended. Stage 16 21 July 2009 – Martigny (Switzerland) to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, 160 km The return to racing after the second rest day featured two long climbs and their descents: the Col du Grand-Saint-Bernard, the highest point in this year's Tour at 2,473 meters, and the Col du Petit Saint-Bernard, at which stage the race returned to France. An early break initiated by Maxime Bouet grew to 26 members, and mountains classifications challengers Franco Pellizotti and Egoi Martínez, along with Vladimir Karpets moved clear of the group as they approached the first climb. Martínez could not stay with the other two escapees, and Pellizotti took maximum points over the pass. In the long flat passage between both passes, the two leaders were caught by the large group and together started the last climb. Just before the top of this second climb, Pellizotti and Jurgen Van den Broeck who had been leading the climb, were joined by Mikel Astarloza and Amaël Moinard. Four further escapees also remained ahead of the favourites, but among that group an attack by Andy Schleck caused an elite group in which he was joined by his brother Fränk Schleck, Alberto Contador, Bradley Wiggins, Vincenzo Nibali and Andreas Klöden. Lance Armstrong led a response, and there was no lasting split among the GC contenders apart from Cadel Evans, who failed to stay with the yellow jersey group. Pellizotti again led over the top of the climb, and in the approach to the finishing town, Astarloza broke clear with 2 km remaining to win the stage, as the four chasers caught the remnants of the lead group. Jens Voigt fell hard while descending the col du Petit-Saint-Bernard with the group of the yellow jersey, he fractured his right cheekbone and suffered a concussion, and had to abandon the Tour. However, five days after the Tour finished the UCI announced that the initial stage winner Mikel Astarloza tested positive for EPO in an out-of-competition test on June 26, eight days before the race started. Astarloza was removed from the results, and the stage win transferred to Sandy Casar. Stage 17 22 July 2009 – Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Le Grand-Bornand, 169 km This stage had five categorized climbs on it, including four category 1 climbs, and was regarded the queen stage of this year's Tour. The first three quarters of the stage were dominated by the consolidation of the lead in both the climbers' and sprinters' competitions. A group of 20, led by Franco Pellizotti, crossed the first hill, Cormet de Roselend, before being closed down and passed by green jersey holder, Thor Hushovd. He remained in a solo lead for more than , climbing two categorised mountains alone (Col des Saisies and Côte d'Araches) in order to gain maximum points at the intermediate sprints. Pellizotti was the first of the following group over the hills, gaining maximum of the remaining climber's points. On the second to last mountain, the Col de Romme, a series of attacks by Andy and Fränk Schleck overhauled the breakaway group, and left the Luxembourgian brothers in a lead group with yellow jersey holder Alberto Contador and his Astana team-mate Andreas Klöden. An attempted breakaway by Contador succeeded only in dropping Klöden, and the leading trio continued to extend their lead over Col de la Colombière to the finish line, where the older Schleck brother, Fränk, was allowed to take the stage win. Lance Armstrong and Vincenzo Nibali overtook Klöden in the closing kilometre, finishing more than two minutes behind the first three finishers, who took the top three places in the overall classification. Stage 18 23 July 2009 – Annecy, 40 km (ITT) The final time trial was held earlier in the race than is usual, and was not, as it had been for many years previously, the last stage which is competitive in terms of the overall classification. It followed a 40.5 km route around Lake Annecy, on a course that was mainly flat. A 270 m hill approximately ¾ around the course of 5% gradient would assist strong climbers in finishing closer to the typical TT specialists. The riders set off in reverse order of their standing in the general classification, and the 19th rider to start, Mikhail Ignatiev set fastest times at all the intermediate checkpoints, and at the finish, that stood until Olympic time trial champion Fabian Cancellara, starting 58 riders later, bettered his times at the last checkpoint and, more importantly, at the finish line. Cancellara's finishing time, and Ignatiev's intermediate times were unchallenged until the last few riders were on the course, by which time there had been a rain shower and the wind speed had increased. Both Bradley Wiggins and Alberto Contador beat Cancellara's times at the top of the climb, and the earlier checkpoints, but lost time relative to the Swiss rider over the last part of the course. Wiggins lost 55 seconds to Cancellara in the last 12 km, and ended sixth on the stage, while Contador lost 49 seconds to him over the same distance, but still retained a three second advantage to win the stage. Andy Schleck conceded 1'45" to Contador in coming 21st on the stage, but retained his second place overall, while Lance Armstrong, 16th on the stage, moved up to third overall, with an 11 second advantage over Wiggins. Stage 19 24 July 2009 – Bourgoin-Jallieu to Aubenas, 195 km This was a largely flat stage, but featured a category 2 climb 16 km from the finish. A twenty-rider breakaway after 9 km never gained more than three minutes advantage over a peloton paced by and , and an attack by Leonardo Duque after 110 km reduced the group to five, his companions being José Luis Arrieta, Iván Gutiérrez, David Millar and Yaroslav Popovych. This smaller group stayed away from a chase group of about 40 riders that included all but one of the top 20 in the general classification, and some of the top sprinters in the race, for a further 35 km, but were caught before the final climb started in earnest. Near the top of that climb, Laurent Lefèvre and world champion Alessandro Ballan attempted a breakaway, but they were chased down by , whose sprinter Mark Cavendish again took the stage victory. A split in the group as it crossed the line meant that Lance Armstrong gained four seconds over the rest of the contenders for a place on the final podium in Paris. Stage 20 25 July 2009 – Montélimar to Mont Ventoux, 167 km This was the first time the Tour had had a mountain stage on its second-to-last day. The early stages, which included four categorised climbs, saw a group of 16 riders build a lead in excess of 10'30" before started to limit their gains. Under pressure from , the chase group was reduced to 24 men, including the top 12 in the overall standings, when it reached the bottom of the final climb of the tour 4'05" behind the leaders. Juan Manuel Gárate triggered the disintegration of the lead group by attacking on the lower slopes, with only Tony Martin able to stay with him for long. The yellow jersey group passed many of the members of the earlier escape as it climbed, but the seven riders who had any ambition of comprising the top three in Paris remained together for most of the climb. Andy Schleck attempted a number of attacks, but as they neither allowed him to escape from Alberto Contador, nor assisted Fränk Schleck to move clear of Lance Armstrong in his ambition to gain third place overall, he did not persist with them. Franco Pellizotti, who already had an unassailable lead in the King of the Mountains category, caught and passed the yellow jersey group in pursuit of Martin and Gárate. Among the elite group, which had been joined by Roman Kreuziger in a bid to get into the top ten in general classification, the first to lose contact was Andreas Klöden, and with 2 km remaining Bradley Wiggins became detached from the group. Gárate attacked Martin twice in the closing stages, and although the German was able to catch-up twice, the Spaniard moved clear in the last 200m to win the stage. Pellizotti was caught by the yellow jersey group in the last 200m, and although Armstrong increased his lead over Wiggins, Fränk Schleck's margin over the British rider at the line was not enough to overtake him for fourth place overall. Stage 21 26 July 2009 – Montereau-Fault-Yonne to Paris Champs-Élysées, 160 km The 2009 Tour ended, as it had for the previous 34 years, on the Champs-Élysées. The pace was casual in the early part of the stage, marked more by photo opportunities for the category leaders, but the pace increased once the race reached central Paris. On the first of seven circuits of the Champs-Élysées, a seven rider escape moved clear, consisting of Jussi Veikkanen, Arnaud Coyot, Samuel Dumoulin, Alexandre Pichot, Carlos Barredo, Fabian Wegmann and Fumiyuki Beppu. The breakaway nullified the intermediate sprints as part of the only unresolved contest, the green jersey category. The last three escapees, Veikkanen, Wegmann and Beppu, were caught shortly after the start of the last circuit. Although the team attempted to get ahead of the lead out, Mark Cavendish won the sprint, his sixth stage of the Tour, with several metres to spare, with his lead-out man Mark Renshaw second. Thor Hushovd, by finishing sixth, took enough points to secure the points competition, and the other riders finished in the group to confirm their positions and awards.
