# Channel Island English
**Channel Island English** refers to Alderney English, Guernsey English, and Jersey English and similar dialects of English found in the other Channel Islands.
## Variations
### Alderney English {#alderney_english}
**Alderney English** is the variety of English spoken by some residents of Alderney. It is questionable whether this is a separate dialect: due to Alderney\'s small size and high rate of immigration and emigration, particularly to/from nearby Guernsey and the UK, a high proportion of the population speaks the English of their place of origin, while many people who have been educated in Guernsey in their youth have acquired a way of speaking that is close to Guernsey English.
Thus Alderney English currently corresponds quite closely to standard English, with a tendency towards mild archaism due to the population demographic in which the over-50s are the largest group.
Its distinguishing feature is a small but significant number of loan words from Guernésiais (the variety of Norman spoken on the neighbouring island of Guernsey), Legal French (which was the language of legislation before the Second World War) and a very much smaller number of words that have come down from Auregnais (now a dead language, it is no longer certain whether there are any rememberers still alive).
An example of a word used in Alderney that appears neither in standard English nor in Guernsey English is \"Impôt\" (meaning \'rubbish tip/recycling centre\' and not \'tax/imposition\' as elsewhere). In addition there is an idiosyncratic pronunciation of certain local surnames, \"Dupont\" as `{{IPA|fr|dipõ}}`{=mediawiki} and \"Simon\" as `{{IPA|[symõ]}}`{=mediawiki}, rather than the standard Parisian pronunciation. Any remainder of the historic influence of Auregnais on Alderney English is very hard to discern, since Guernésiais and Auregnais differed only slightly.
### Guernsey English {#guernsey_english}
**Guernsey English** is the dialect of English spoken in Guernsey, distinguished by having considerable influence from Guernésiais, the variety of Norman indigenous to Guernsey.
The dialect contains terms such as *buncho* (from Dgèrnésiais: *bond d\'tchu*) for the English \"somersault\"; \"it picks\" instead of \"it stings\", from the Guernsey equivalent of the French \"ça pique\"; \"chirry\" for \"goodbye\"; and \"Budlo Night\" instead of Bonfire Night on 5 November.
Often Guernsey people will add the word \"Eh\" to the end of a sentence, inferring a general agreement that something is held to be true or correct. It can also be used in the context of asking a question or seeking reassurance that what was said is correct if it is believed to be a contentious issue.
### Jersey English {#jersey_english}
**Jersey English** is a dialect of English spoken in Jersey, Channel Islands, the accent of which has been likened to that of South African English. It is influenced by the use of Jèrriais and Jersey Legal French.
#### Influence of Jersey Legal French on Jersey English {#influence_of_jersey_legal_french_on_jersey_english}
Jersey English has imported a number of Jersey Legal French titles and terminology. Many of these, in turn, derive from Jèrriais. The following are examples likely to be encountered in daily life and in news reports in Jersey:

: Channel Islands English vowels
### Consonants
- H-drops and intrusive H leading to sentences like: "My mother was very hill and I was the heldest, and I stayed to \'elp my mother."
- Ing as `{{IPA|/ɪn/}}`{=mediawiki} or `{{IPA|/ɪŋ/}}`{=mediawiki}
- R tends to be uvular in the island of Sark, and trilled throughout the archipelago.
- Medial yod often appears after an initial voiced consonant such as `{{IPA|/ˈɡjɑːdn/}}`{=mediawiki}
- and `{{IPA|/d/}}`{=mediawiki} are dental and unaspirated.
- Interference from the Norman Languages caused their intonation and word stress to be different sometimes, like edu\'cated, Liver\'pool and rail\'way.
## Morphosyntax
- The Norman Influence is more clearly demonstrable in Channel Island English morphosyntax than in its phonology.
Examples of structures used by people in the Channel Islands are:
- "There\'s ten years I am a farmer" for "I\'ve been a farmer for ten years."
- "Me, I don\'t want to go" or "I don\'t want to go, me."
- "That\'s the one, eh?" Eh for "isn\'t it?", "aren\'t they?", "don\'t you think?", or else.
- "There\'s two castles there" for "There are two castles there."
- "\... and the teacher, she was angry, eh." (use of emphatic personal pronoun

# Borkum Riff
**Borkum Riff** is a brand of pipe tobacco manufactured in Denmark for the Scandinavian Tobacco Group.
## History
\'Borkum Riff\' tobacco was launched in Sweden in 1962, named after a lighthouse of the same name, located at 53° 58\' N, and 6° 22\' E in Heligoland Bight off the Dutch coast in the North Sea. It was a landmark for seafarers and was well-known to Swedish radio listeners, as weather reports mentioned Borkum Riff several times a day. The former lightship was used from 1960 to 1964 as the first radio ship of Radio Veronica, which became the first offshore radio station in the Netherlands.
The tobacco was a rough-cut blend of Virginia and Burley and had been developed by Bertil Sandegård with an eye on the US pipe tobacco market. Initial sales were slow-moving, but when Borkum Riff\'s Bourbon Whiskey blend was successfully introduced in the US in 1969, sales increased. Since then, new flavours and new packaging have been introduced. Today, Borkum Riff is also sold in India, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Norway, Spain, New Zealand, Japan, France, Italy, and Germany as well as in several other markets around the world. Borkum Riff\'s biggest market, however, is still the United States.
Today, the Borkum Riff, which is manufactured in Denmark for Swedish Match, is the third-largest tobacco producer on the Swedish market. In 2011, Borkum Riff\'s ownership changed to Scandinavian Tobacco Group. The ship in the Borkum Riff\'s company logo originates from a 17th-century engraving made by Johann Baptist Homann.
## Manufacturing
The tobacco is manufactured on behalf of Swedish Match at the Scandinavian Tobacco Group\'s Orlik factory in Assens, Denmark. Formerly, it had been produced by Mac Baren on a dedicated production line

# Barrie Dunsmore
**Barrie Dunsmore** (1939 -- 26 August 2018) was a Canadian journalist who covered foreign affairs for ABC News, the American television network, for 30 years.
Dunsmore was born in 1939 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. From 1965 to 1995, Dunsmore reported from Washington and more than one hundred countries on virtually every major international event: from wars, to summits, to the policies of seven U.S. presidents from Johnson to Clinton. From the height of the Cold War until its end, Dunsmore was regularly present when American presidents and Soviet leaders met. He was with Israeli troops when they captured the Suez Canal from Egypt in 1967 and when General Ariel Sharon put the city of Suez under siege in 1973. He was on Henry Kissinger\'s Middle East Shuttles in the aftermath of the 1973 war and was with President Jimmy Carter in the Middle East six years later when he finally cemented the historic Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty. Dunsmore covered the fall of South Vietnam in 1975, conducted the first American television interview with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and was with three former presidents (Nixon, Ford and Carter) who attended Sadat\'s funeral. He watched SCUD missiles fall on Saudi Arabia during the 1991 Gulf War. He had a worldwide scoop on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, and he did the first American television report on the destruction of the Amazon rainforests in 1988.
As ABC\'s senior foreign correspondent from 1984 to 1991, Dunsmore focused on events in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union as the Iron Curtain began to disintegrate. Throughout 1989, he witnessed dramatic moments in the collapse of communism and reported live for ABC News Nightline from the Berlin Wall the night it began to fall. After retirement in 1995, Dunsmore became a Fellow at the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He received the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University\'s Edward Weintal Prize in 1995.
Barrie Dunsmore was the author of \"There and Back: Commentary by a Former Foreign Correspondent,\" published in 2011 by Wind Ridge Publishing, Inc.
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said of Dunsmore\'s book, \"This compilation of essays dating from the weeks when he accompanied me on the Mideast shuttles in the early 1970\'s, to his commentaries on the Arab Spring will mark Dunsmore firmly as one of the significant journalists of our era.\"
Dunsmore moved to Charlotte, Vermont, after retirement, and wrote a Sunday column for the *Rutland Herald*. He died on Sunday, August 26, 2018, at the age of 79

# Glenn H. Mullin
**Glenn H. Mullin** (born June 22, 1949, in Quebec, Canada) is a Tibetologist, Buddhist writer, translator of classical Tibetan literature and teacher of Tantric Buddhist meditation.
Mullin has written over twenty-five books on Tibetan Buddhism. Many of these focus on the lives and works of the early Dalai Lamas. Some of his other titles include *Tsongkhapa\'s Six Yogas of Naropa* and *The Practice of Kalachakra* (Snow Lion); *Death and Dying: The Tibetan Tradition* (Arkana/Viking Penguin); *Mystical Verses of a Mad Dalai Lama* (Quest Books); *The Mystical Arts of Tibet* (Longstreet Press); and *The Fourteen Dalai Lamas*, as well as *The Female Buddhas* (Clear Light Books). He has also worked as a field specialist on three Tibet-related films and five television documentaries, and has co-produced five audio recordings of Tibetan sacred music.
## Biography
Glenn Mullin lived in the Indian Himalayas between 1972 and 1984, where he studied philosophy, literature, meditation, yoga, and the enlightenment culture under thirty-five living masters from the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. His two principal tantric gurus were the masters Ling Rinpoche (1903--1983) and Trijang Rinpoche (1901--1981), who were best known as the senior and junior tutors of the present (14th) Dalai Lama. Mullin\'s other teachers and initiation masters include the Dalai Lama, the 41st Sakya Trizin Rinpoche, Kalu Rinpoche, Ngakpa Yeshe Dorje Rinpoche, Tai Situ Rinpoche, Khenchen Konchok Gyaltsen, Geshe Ngawang Dargyey, Geshey Rabten, and Gongsar Tulku.
After returning to North America in 1984, Mullin founded The Mystical Arts of Tibet. This association, under his direction, facilitated music and dance tours of Tibetan monks in North America. The first such tours to reach the west, they also included demonstrations of mandala sand paintings. The association had the objectives to \"contribute mystically to world peace and planetary healing \[and\] raise awareness of the Tibet situation\" at that time. Moreover, the association generated funds for the Tibetan refugees in India and later dedicated its mission to the activities of Drepung Loseling, the largest of Tibet\'s monastic universities.

## Playing career {#playing_career}
Mott played for the Victorian Bushrangers and Queensland Bulls. He was part of the Australian Cricket Academy in Adelaide in 1995. A left-handed batsman, he made his first-class debut in 1994--95, playing for Queensland. He was in and out of the side but made a crucial 86 in Queensland\'s 1996--97 Sheffield Shield Final. He relocated to Victoria for the 1998--99 season and performed well, cementing his spot in the upper order. His first season included centuries against New South Wales and Western Australia. He made 841 first-class runs the following summer to help Victoria reach the final for the first time in nine years. A highlight of his career with Victoria was a 223 run opening partnership with Jason Arnberger. He finished his 66-game career in 2004 with 3723 runs at 33.84 with seven hundreds.
## Coaching career {#coaching_career}
Mott was appointed head coach of the New South Wales Blues for the 2007--08 season, after two years as assistant coach. In his first season in charge, the side won the Pura Cup (Sheffield Shield), and later claimed victory in the 2009 Champions League T20 competition.
He signed a three-year contract as the 1st XI coach of Glamorgan County Cricket Club on 14 January 2011. On 20 August 2013, it was announced that Mott would be leaving his role with Glamorgan after the end of the season.

Several sources suggested that he had stepped down voluntarily, whilst in the *Times* and the *Guardian* it was reported that he had been sacked. His role was assumed by Marcus Trescothick, pending the appointment of a permanent replacement.
In September 2024, Mott was appointed as the assistant coach of Sydney Sixers for a three-year contract

# Edward Collingwood
**Sir Edward Foyle Collingwood** `{{post-nominals|country=GBR|CBE|FRS|FRSE|DL}}`{=mediawiki} LLD (17 January 1900 -- 25 October 1970) was an English mathematician and scientist. He was a member of the Eglingham branch of a prominent Northumbrian family, the son of Col. Cuthbert Collingwood of the Lancashire Fusiliers, whose family seat was at Lilburn Tower, near Wooler, Northumberland. His great grandfather was a brother of Admiral Lord Collingwood.
## Life
Collingwood was born at his family home, Lilburn Tower, near Wooler in Northumberland, the son of Col. Cuthbert George Collingwood and his wife, Dorothy Fawcett.
Collingwood was educated at the Royal Naval College, Osborne, on the Isle of Wight and at Dartmouth Royal Naval College and was commissioned into the Royal Navy. By arrangement his first service was aboard the dreadnought battleship HMS *Collingwood* but his naval career was cut short during World War I when in 1916 he was invalided out of the Navy following an accidental injury.
In 1918 he enrolled to study mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge. His early academic results were not special and in 1922 he moved to Aberystwyth University where he became interested in complex analysis and published a paper relating to Nevanlinna\'s theory. He was awarded the Rayleigh Prize in 1923 and following the award of the Rouse Ball travelling scholarship in 1925 he spent a year at the University of Paris.
Collingwood returned to Cambridge and was in 1929 awarded a doctorate for a thesis entitled *Contributions to the theory of integral functions*. Collingwood left Cambridge in 1937 when he was appointed High Sheriff of Northumberland for that year. He was later appointed Deputy Lieutenant of his home county.
During World War II he served in the RNVR with the rank of Captain and was employed as a naval scientist. In 1945 he was appointed Chief Scientist in the Mine Design department of the Admiralty. For his service he was awarded the CBE.
Collingwood returned to mathematics after the war and continued his interest in meromorphic functions and in 1949 published his research on the theory of cluster sets.
## Awards and honours {#awards_and_honours}
Collingwood was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1954 and of the Royal Society of London in 1965. He held several professional and civic appointments including President of the London Mathematical Society 1969--70, Chairman of the Council of Durham University from 1953, Chairman of the Newcastle Hospital Board 1953--1968, Vice President of the International Hospital Federation 1959-1967 and Treasurer of the Medical Research Council.

# Gunther of Pairis
**Gunther of Pairis** (c. 1150) was a German Cistercian monk and author, writing in Latin.
His best-known work is his *Historia Constantinopolitana* about the Fourth Crusade, in a mixture of prose and verse. It was based on the account of Martin of Pairis, abbot of Pairis Abbey, and includes the siege and looting of Constantinople. His is the only western account to state explicitly that the crusaders pillaged Greek churches, as the other accounts were written by the pillagers themselves, such as Geoffrey of Villehardouin, who wrote The Conquest of Constantinople.
Gunther also wrote *Solimarius*, about the First Crusade, and *Ligurinus*, an epic about Frederick Barbarossa

# Columbia Daily Tribune
The ***Columbia Daily Tribune***, commonly referred to as the ***Columbia Tribune*** or the ***Tribune***, is one of two daily newspapers in Columbia, Missouri, the other being the *Columbia Missourian*. It is the only daily newspaper in Columbia whose circulation is verified by the Alliance for Audited Media (AAM), and it has been a member of that since 1915. The newspaper was owned by the Watson/Waters family from 1905 to 2016.
Although written to serve the Columbia Metropolitan Area, it is the most widely circulated newspaper in the region of central Mid-Missouri. The paper is a broadsheet delivered mornings seven days a week.
## History
The *Daily Tribune* was founded on September 12, 1901, by former University of Missouri at Columbia student Charles Monro Strong with assistance from Barratt O\'Hara as the first daily newspaper in Columbia, Missouri. Its offices were on the third floor of the Stone Building at 15 South Ninth Street.
Before 1901, news was offered by three competing weeklies: the *Missouri Intelligencer*, *The Columbia Patriot* and *The Columbia Statesman*. In 1902, Earnest M. Mitchell joined and they moved its editorial / business offices to the Whittle Building at 911 East Broadway Street, Suite A (now home to KOPN, FM radio station). Mitchell bought Strong out four years after he began the paper in 1905, but unfortunately died shortly thereafter from typhoid fever. Then later that year of 1905, Edwin Moss Watson bought the newspaper. His nephew, Henry \"Jack\" Waters, Jr., became publisher of the paper upon Watson\'s death 32 years later in 1937, when Watson\'s sister, Margaret Watson Waters (Waters, Jr.\'s mother), inherited the paper. In 1966, Henry \"Hank\" Waters, III succeeded his father and continued to operate and publish *The Daily Tribune* until December 31, 2010.
On January 1, 2011, Hank Waters, III\'s two youngest children, Andy and Lizabeth, bought out four other family members to take full ownership of the company. Vicki Russell, Waters, III\'s wife, became the publisher---the first woman to ever hold that position. Andy became president and general manager. Waters, III took the title of publisher emeritus, but will still continue to write editorials.
The Watson-Waters family finally gave up ownership after 111 years and sold the newspaper to GateHouse Media in 2016. GateHouse Media\'s parent company, New Media Investment Group, subsequently acquired the Gannett Company, Inc. and its chain of media properties in 2019, and the combined company assumed the Gannett name.
In 2017, the *Columbia Daily Tribune* moved to a morning delivery format for all 7 days of the week. The prices rose to a dollar for weekdays and Saturdays and 2 dollars on Sundays.
## Environment
The *Tribune* is an environmentally friendly newspaper, using in excess of 90% recycled newsprint. On June 11, 2008, the Columbia Tribune reported that it is the state leader in use of recycled newsprint.
## Game Over {#game_over}
Started in 2006, Game Over was a video game themed blog and weekly column in the *Columbia Tribune*. On December 31, 2006, the *Tribune* reported that the Game Over article *Wii\'s democracy makes mockery of meritocracy* generated 16,766 hits, the ninth most of the year for their site. The column was originally written by Greg Miller, but in 2007, he moved on to work for IGN. Miller was replaced by Paul Dziuba, who was hired specifically for the column.
As of February 4, 2009, Game Over is no longer published

**Giuseppe Busso** (Turin, April 27, 1913 -- Arese, January 3, 2006) was an Italian mechanical and engine designer mostly known for his tenure at Alfa Romeo and Ferrari.
## Biography
Busso was born in Turin. After graduating in Industrial Design at the Polytechnic University of Turin, in 1937 he began working for Fiat\'s aviation engine department. In January 1939 he moved to Alfa Romeo where he worked under the guidance of Orazio Satta Puliga. His main responsibility was racing car engines.
In 1946 he became technical director for Ferrari and thus took part in the development of the Ferrari Colombo V12 engine. Busso returned to Alfa Romeo in 1948 and worked there until 1977. He was in charge of mechanical engineering for Alfa Romeo road cars, taking part in the creation of the Alfa Romeo 1900, Giulietta, Giulia, 1750, 2000 and Alfetta. With the Giulietta, Busso introduced the four cylinder Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine, also known as the Nord engine. Another creation of his was the Alfa Romeo V6 engine, also known as the Busso engine, which was designed in the early 1970s and introduced in the 1979 Alfa 6.

# Port Melbourne Town Hall
The **Port Melbourne Town Hall** was erected in 1882. The Town Hall is an important element in the historic Bay Street streetscape of inner city Port Melbourne.
After the amalgamation of the City of Port Melbourne with the City of South Melbourne and the City of St Kilda in 1994 to form the City of Port Phillip, the Town Hall now functions as secondary offices for the Port Phillip City Council of the new City of Port Phillip.
## Architecture
The architect J. J. Wild employed a free Classical Revival style architectural motifs in the form of two projecting end pavilions and a central tower, unified at ground floor level by an arcaded loggia surmounted by balustrading. The cast iron fencing at the sides is in very good condition.
The Town Hall survives substantially intact as shown in an illustration of 1882, except that the cement render has been painted. The facade of the rear 1915 wing survives in its original condition

# Mosby's Raiders (game)
***Mosby\'s Raiders*** is a solitaire board wargame based upon a Confederate partisan ranger unit led by famed Colonel John S. Mosby during the American Civil War. The game was developed by Eric Lee Smith and published by Avalon Hill subsidiary Victory Games in 1985.
Smith looked for a situation that had historical information he could work into the game play, and his research led him to the partisan activities of Confederate cavalry against Federal troops and supply lines in Northern Virginia (AKA \"Mosby\'s Confederacy\") between 1862 and 1864.
The solitary player assumes the role of Colonel Mosby. He selects targets for raids from those presented on the map (such as supply depots, rail lines and bridges) and from random historical targets presented by cards that are drawn at the beginning of each turn. Mosby is aided by historical elements shown on cards that are drawn according to a formula that depends on his notoriety from previous successful raids. His ability to recruit additional raiders from local residents depends on his health, notoriety, and random Federal sweeps through the countryside. Victory is secured by continuing to score a pre-set number of notoriety and Federal awareness points by the end of a set number of turns.
The Federal army responds to these raids by being activated by Mosby\'s activities and moving towards the Raider marker by random throws of a die. The game succeeds in presenting the player with a sense of the limitations these early guerrillas faced, as well as their tactics such as \"skedaddling\" or scattering in the face of frequently superior forces. Ultimately, Mosby was fairly successful in attempting to slow supplies being delivered to Federal troops and occupy as many troops as possible that could have been used in offensive action against the Confederacy.

# Sixty second review
The **sixty second review** (also known as a **silent review** or **mental review**) is a technique used by flight attendants during the critical phases of flight to focus and prepare them for a sudden emergency.
## Use
How the silent review is performed varies according to different airlines, but the principles and the desired result are the same throughout. Just prior to take off, and from gear down to landing, flight attendants will be in their jumpseats in a semi-brace position performing their silent review. This can either be a structured set of questions that they mentally go over, or a series of suggested questions that the attendant can think about as they observe the cabin.
Structured silent reviews typically use mnemonics, one such being \"**OLDABC**\":
- peration of exits
- ocation of emergency equipment
- rills (brace for impact)
- ble bodied passengers, selected and used by flight attendants to assist in an evacuation, typically by remaining at the bottom of the escape slide

# Sami Essid
**Sami bin Khamis bin Salih Essid** (*سامي بن خميس بن صالح الصيد*) a.k.a. Essid Sami Ben Khemais was the head of al-Qaeda\'s Italian cell until his arrest outside Milan in April 2001. He received a five-year sentence for trafficking in arms, explosives, and chemicals. Essid remains under embargo by the United Nations Security Council Committee 1267 as an affiliate of al-Qaeda, and by the US Treasury for his terrorist activity. Around 1 July 2007, fresh charges against Sami Essid were read in Italy, where he was still in custody.
According to the UN he was born on 10 February 1968 in Menzel Jemil, Bizerte Governorate, Tunisia.
He phoned a cell phone held by Saber Mohammed - believed to have been acting as a messenger for Mosa Zi Zemmori and Driss Elatellah.
## Guantanamo connection {#guantanamo_connection}
Following the United States Supreme Court ruling in Rasul v. Bush, the United States Department of Defense was forced to conduct reviews of the combatant status of the captives held in extrajudicial detention in its Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.
The allegations that Guantanamo counter-terror analysts offered to justify the detention of several of these captives assert that they had an association with Sami Essid, or the Sami Essid Network.

# Strong link/weak link
\[\[<File:Strong> link-weak link system.svg\|300px\|right\|thumb\| Diagram of strong links and weak links in a nuclear weapon. External signals are encoded as unique signals that can cause energy (red) to cross the *energy barrier* into the *exclusion zone* (blue) via *strong links* (orange and yellow).
Within the energy barrier, the *weak links* (purple) are designed to fail before the strong links do, preventing any energy that a failed strong link might permit into the exclusion zone from detonating the weapon. \]\] A **strong link/weak link** and **exclusion zone** nuclear detonation mechanism is a type of safety mechanism employed in the arming and firing mechanisms of modern nuclear weapons.`{{r|bellovin}}`{=mediawiki}
The safety mechanism starts by enclosing the electronics and mechanical components used to arm and fire the nuclear weapon with a mechanical and electrical isolation barrier, the *energy barrier*, which encloses and defines the *exclusion zone*. This is insulated from mechanical, thermal, and electrical disruptions (such as static electricity, lightning, or fire).`{{r|sublette}}`{=mediawiki}
Between the exclusion zone and the actual detonators, a normally-disconnected link mechanism is used, such as a switch which has a built-in motor to activate it. The arming system has to activate the switch in order to connect the firing circuits to the detonators in the weapon. This disconnection, which requires the arming mechanism to operate, is called the *strong link*.
It is possible for an accident (rocket explosion, airplane crash, accident while weapon is being moved) to disrupt the weapon and break the integrity of the exclusion zone. As a safety mechanism, a *weak link* is also built into the system. This is a set of components designed to fail at lower stresses (thermal, mechanical, and electrical) than the strong links, and will prevent signals from the strong links from reaching the detonators. The weak link acts to break the connection to the detonators before the strong link could be disrupted and fail by the stress of an accident: by the time the strong links fail, the weapon has already been rendered permanently inoperable. Strong links and the following weak links are intentionally co-located, so that they will experience similar environmental conditions.`{{r|dtic_ada520718|p=71}}`{=mediawiki}
The following table summarises the effects of failure modes in the strong and weak links:

# Strong link/weak link
## Strong links {#strong_links}
Strong links, at least in US nuclear weapons, are always implemented as electro-mechanical systems such as motor-driven switches. There are two main requirements: when functional, never to allow an invalid signals to penetrate the energy barrier, and never to fail in a way that *can* pass a signal through the barrier *before* the weak links inside the exclusion zone have also failed.
The MC2935 and MC2969 devices were two similar devices based on a rotary solenoid, acting, respectively, as \"trajectory\" (passing a signal only when a missile\'s physical movement indicated a correct launch) and \"intent\" (signalling that a detonation is desired by the operator) strong links.`{{r|elliott2005|p=6}}`{=mediawiki}
The Mechanical Safing and Arming Device (MSAD) strong link used a small pellet of sensitive high explosive to trigger a larger charge of insensitive high explosive. Normally, the pellet was held away from the main charge, and was physically moved into position only when the strong link was activated by a valid input and detonated by a mechanical \"slapper\". The MSAD also contained a weak link: the pellet would burn or explode harmlessly in a fire when it was not in position, and the insensitive explosives could not then be detonated at all.
Multiple strong links could be used in series, which, when properly designed, multiplies the safety factor.`{{r|sand88|p=44}}`{=mediawiki}. The B61 nuclear bomb, for example, gated the trajectory strong link behind the intent strong link. Until the correct intent unique signal was sent, the trajectory unique signal would not even be presented to the trajectory strong link inputs.`{{r|sand88|at=fig. 44}}`{=mediawiki}
### Unique signals {#unique_signals}
Strong links implement a mechanism where only a single, unique form of energy may enter the exclusion zone. This energy is encoded as a *unique signal*: a sequence of \"events\" which must occur in a precise and preset pattern for the link to activate. This pattern is specifically designed to be extremely unlikely to occur by chance.`{{r|23rd_ass|p=18}}`{=mediawiki} The pattern is checked for validity by a discriminator. In some devices, known as single-try discriminators, an incorrect event pattern leads to the device becoming inoperable: the weapon cannot then be reset and fired remotely. \"Multiple-try\" discriminators could be reset remotely. A single-try strong link might have an event sequence of 24 events, whereas a multiple-try device would have more: the MC2969 had 47.`{{r|sandia1992|p=54}}`{=mediawiki}.
Unique signal patterns were always the same for a given strong link discriminator, and were not secret or classified: they were designed only for safety purposes and not security.`{{r|merritt1980|p=5,37}}`{=mediawiki}. Each strong link had a different signal, so as to avoid the possibility of common mode failure.
Unique signals were used, because it was recognised that it was impossible to fully isolate the strong link from any and all electrical sources in an \"abnormal environment\" (such as a disintegrating aircraft). By encoding the only valid signal as a unique pattern of information, the safety principle of \"incompatibility\" was introduced: the signal is \"incompatible\" with all other electrical energy because the information that makes up a unique signal is not present in any other components (such as signal buffers or storage). Therefore the channel over which the UQS is transmitted does not need to be proven to have a safe response. Only the signal generator and the strong link need to be proven to have safe behaviour until such time as the weak links render the weapon inert.`{{r|sandia1992|p=1}}`{=mediawiki}.
Critically for maintaining this safety, the strong link discriminator must be the *only* place in the entire system where \"decisions\" are made, and the transmission channel must never be permitted to retain knowledge of events, handle multiple events at once or re-order events. That may permit a single action to generate multiple signal events.`{{r|sandia1992|p=38}}`{=mediawiki} Additionally, all events must be processed identically: to do otherwise constitutes pre-storage of knowledge of the UQS and biases the channel,`{{r|sandia1992|p=35}}`{=mediawiki} Events may be sent or received in any format (e.g. digitally, as voltage levels, mechanically, etc) as long as these conditions were met; format translation is also permitted as long as the translators transmits each event before processing the next one.`{{r|sandia1992|p=37}}`{=mediawiki}
Unique signals were usually encoded as sequences of binary data (though strictly the data did not have to binary, it was deemed that the longer sequence was outweighed by the simpler implementations). Unique signals were carefully designed to have statistical properties extremely unlikely to exist unintentionally, and were also designed to be transmitted not only electrically via voltage or pulse-width modulation, but also mechanically (e.g. a push-pull rod), optically or pneumatically.`{{r|sandia1992|p=6}}`{=mediawiki} Events are described alphabetically, rather than numerically (e.g. 0 and 1), to avoid confusion with specific physical signals; a two-event sequence would have \"A\" and \"B\" events. `{{r|sandia1992|p=30}}`{=mediawiki}
Examples of statistical weaknesses that undermine safety properties include sequence symmetry, periodicity, repeated events, imbalances between events (event-wise balance: almost equal numbers of \"A\" and \"B\" events), imbalances between pairs (pair-wise balance: \"AA\", \"AB\", \"BA\" and \"BB\" should be almost equal in occurrence) and correlations with *other* unique signals (as this would permit events from a different UQS to bias this one).`{{r|sandia1992|p=30}}`{=mediawiki}`{{r|23rd_ass|p=18}}`{=mediawiki}
#### Testing signals {#testing_signals}
Testing and training signals that would ever be transmitted to a weapon were also carefully chosen to be statistically *weak* unique signals, which would still also test the integrity of the signal transmission system. This was done so that a test signal could never be mistaken for a genuine signal, which would have strong statistical properties. Thus the test signal would be very different and could never be mistaken for the valid UQS.`{{r|sandia1992|p=30}}`{=mediawiki}
In order to test the unique signal generators, devices such as the CM-458/U Signal Comparator were used (which tested the DCU-201 or DCU-218 Aircraft Controller, which passed the unique signal to the weapon\'s MC2969 intent strong link), which would check that the signals that would be passed to the strong link were correct. The CM-458, built by Sparton Technology, tested voltages, pulse widths and signal sequence against the fixed sequence for the strong link, and was mounted on the aircraft pylon in order to also test the aircraft wiring.`{{r|merritt1980|p=5}}`{=mediawiki}
## Weak links {#weak_links}
The weak links, which follow the strong links, are designed to fail earlier than the strong links. There are many kinds of weak link, which are sensitive to conditions including thermal, electrical or mechanical problems. Some weak links are dedicated devices inserted into the signal paths that function only as weak links, and others can also be critical parts of the weapon that are designed to become inoperative under certain conditions.
An example of a weak link that is sensitive to temperature are the capacitors in the firing set which are charged in order to then discharge to trigger the detonators. These can be deliberately designed to fail when a specific high temperature is reached, which will prevent the firing set from being able to detonate the explosives.`{{r|elliott2005|p=6}}`{=mediawiki}

## Limitations
These mechanisms do not prevent misuse of the weapon, which is restricted by Permissive Action Link code systems, or an accident from physically causing initiation of the explosives or detonators directly from extremely high temperatures, impact forces, or electrical disturbance such as lightning. The risk of accidental direct detonation is significantly reduced by using insensitive high explosives such as TATB, which is extremely unlikely to detonate due to fire, impact or electricity. While TATB may decompose or burn in a fire, it is extremely unlikely to detonate as a result of that decomposition or burning

# Beaufort (film)
***Beaufort*** (*בופור* *Bufor*) is a 2007 Israeli war film. The film was directed by Joseph Cedar and was co-written by Cedar and Ron Leshem, based on Leshem\'s 2005 novel.
The film takes place in the year 2000, the year of the IDF withdrawal from the Israeli Security Zone in southern Lebanon. It chronicles the daily routine of a group of soldiers positioned at the 12th-century Crusader stronghold of Beaufort Castle, their feelings and their fears, and explores their moral dilemmas in the days preceding the withdrawal and end of the 18-year of Israeli occupation of South of Lebanon.
## Plot
The film portrays the final months of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) presence in Lebanon\'s security zone. Ziv Paran, a soldier in the bomb disposal unit, joins an outpost mission named \"Operation Cabinet\" to deal with a Hezbollah explosive blocking convoy routes. He meets outpost commander Liraz and sergeant major Oshri. The outpost endures relentless Hezbollah mortar attacks, prompting constant readiness.
During Operation Cabinet, Ziv dies in an explosion, sparking confusion over the necessity of the operation. As IDF withdrawal preparations begin, Liraz resists accepting it, symbolized by his refusal to evacuate non-essential equipment and the outpost dog, Nemruska.
Oshri\'s imminent release from the IDF prompts emotional farewells. However, before departing, he\'s injured during a mortar attack. Zitlawi\'s death intensifies tensions. Liraz clashes with superiors over the withdrawal and Hezbollah threats.
The psychological toll of withdrawal mounts as soldiers struggle with guard duties. Shpitzer\'s death reinforces the impending danger. With withdrawal orders imminent, soldiers dismantle the outpost, leaving a skeletal force behind. Liraz wrestles with leaving the hill, emotionally attached to its significance.
As the final withdrawal approaches, the outpost is rigged to explode. Last-minute delays heighten tensions. Liraz\'s emotional turmoil surfaces, fearing abandoning the hill. Amid darkness and uncertainty, soldiers grapple with their fate.
As the outpost detonates, symbolizing the end of an era, emotions overflow. Returning to Israel, soldiers confront the surreal reality of the withdrawal\'s completion, allowing themselves to finally express their emotions.

## Production
The film\'s director, himself an IDF veteran who was stationed in Lebanon during the first Lebanon war, uses the stone walls of Beaufort castle as a symbol of the futility and endlessness of war. The film was shot during the spring of 2006 at Nimrod Fortress, a similar mountaintop fort in the Golan Heights. Cedar said he was influenced by the film *Das Boot*, and the World War I \"bunker films\", when creating the tunnels and mazes of the Beaufort. He also said that *Paths of Glory* was a heavy influence, specifically on the bomb-disarming mission scene. Useful historical information for understanding the movie can be found in the article on the original capture of Beaufort in 1982 by the Israeli army.
Filming was completed in June, just a month before the second war in Lebanon broke out.

## Reception
### Critical
*Beaufort* was generally well received by critics. As of 21 October 2020, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 85% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 53 reviews, and an average rating of 7.03/10. The website\'s critical consensus states, \"*Beaufort* is a deeply observant and meditative war film, masterfully rendered by director Joseph Cedar\".
Lisa Schwarzbaum of *Entertainment Weekly* gave it an A, calling it \"a movie of tremendous power---nerve-racking, astute, and neutral enough to apply to all soldiers, in all wars, everywhere\". A. O. Scott of *The New York Times* wrote: \"Even if it does not entirely rise above cliché, \'Beaufort\' has an earnest, sober intelligence that makes it hard to shake. It suggests that, for those who fight, the futility of war is inseparable from its nobility.\" The film\'s concept and look were compared to those of *Letters from Iwo Jima*.
The film gained mostly very positive reviews in Israel; several reviewers called it one of the best Israeli films ever. Hannah Brown of *The Jerusalem Post* called it the first great Israeli war film. The less positive reviews claimed that the film lacks a direct confrontation with its issues or criticism.
Effi Eitam, an Israeli war hero who was an Israel Defense Forces high commander in Lebanon (he was replaced by Moshe Kaplinsky several months before the withdrawal), said that the film \"successfully depicts, in great detail, the military experience\". Eitam also criticized the creators for showing only the last days of the fighting and not telling the full story of the 18 years of Israeli fighting in Lebanon (\"Whoever watches this movie is likely to think that this entire war was just a matter of inane duck shooting\... That's not how we operated\").
Linda Barnard of the *Toronto Star* notes that \"Liraz can\'t protect his men and is visibly diminished each time they face danger and death.\" As well, he \"faces his last order \[to destroy the fort\] with resolve mixed with bitterness and anger over the useless sacrifice of those who died to defend what the army is about to wipe out\". Andrea Gronvall of the *Chicago Reader* calls it a \"blistering antiwar film\"; she states that \"the absurdity and terrors of their situation are compounded when the squad receives orders to evacuate and blow up its bunker---something the enemy has been trying to do all along.\"
Jonathan Richards notes that the film has a \"slow and contemplative \[approach\], punctuated by shocking bursts of explosive violence\". He states that \"at a little over two hours, \[the film\] drags at times with its static, claustrophobic setting and thin plot,\" but nevertheless states that \"it makes an urgent case for the futility of most wars, which serve immediate political goals that afterward don't seem terribly important.\" He states that \"at its core\[,\] Beaufort is about the heroism of withdrawal, the guts it takes to reject the militaristic mindset that believes any retreat is a weakness.\"
### Commercial
*Beaufort* is one of the most successful Israeli films of the 2000s. It made more than US\$500,000 in the first 3 weeks of its release in the Israeli market, a substantial amount for a domestic Israeli film. Since its release, it was viewed by over 300,000 viewers in Israel.
### Awards and nominations {#awards_and_nominations}
Cedar won the Silver Bear in the Berlin International Film Festival for directing *Beaufort*, and the film was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the first such nomination for an Israeli film since *Beyond the Walls* (1984) and the seventh overall. In Israel it won 4 Ophir Awards---Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Artistic Design and Best Soundtrack. It was also nominated for Best Picture, although the award went to *The Band\'s Visit*, making *Beaufort* the first film directed by Cedar to not win this award. *The Band\'s Visit*\'s status as a foreign language film in the Academy Awards was rejected because it contains over 50% dialogue in English, which caused the runner-up *Beaufort* to become Israel\'s submission instead.

## Controversies
The casting has raised serious public criticism in Israel, especially from families of slain soldiers and war veterans, given the fact that some of the actors did not serve in the Israeli army (Army service is compulsory in Israel, although some people are exempt). Cedar commented that the actors had to spend a month at an actual outpost preparing for their roles, and \"Israel may be the only place where actors are expected to have actual combat experience when playing soldiers in a movie.\"
It was rumored that it was the filmmakers of *Beaufort* who brought to the Academy\'s attention the ineligibility, on language grounds, of *The Band\'s Visit*. *Beaufort*{{\'}}s makers denied this rumor

# Prince Philippe, Count of Flanders
**Prince Philippe of Belgium, Count of Flanders** (*Filips*; 24 March 1837 -- 17 November 1905), was the third born and second surviving son of King Leopold I of Belgium and Louise d\'Orléans. He was the brother of Leopold II of Belgium and Empress Carlota of Mexico.
Born at the Château de Laeken, near Brussels, Belgium, Philippe was created Count of Flanders on 14 December 1840. In January 1869, upon the sudden death of his nephew Prince Leopold, Duke of Brabant, he became heir presumptive to the Belgian throne. In 1866, after the abdication of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Prince of Romania, Philippe refused being named the new Romanian sovereign, and the throne was later accepted by Philippe\'s brother-in-law Carol I. Earlier, he had also refused the crown of Greece, which was offered to him in 1862.
Philippe died in 1905. When his brother King Leopold II died in 1909, Philippe\'s second son ascended the Belgian throne as King Albert I.
## Marriage and issue {#marriage_and_issue}
On 25 April 1867 at St. Hedwig\'s Cathedral in Berlin, he married Marie Luise Alexandra Caroline, Princess of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, (1845--1912), daughter of Karl Anton von Hohenzollern (1811--1885) and his wife Josephine of Baden (1813--1900). Among Marie\'s siblings were the deceased Queen of Portugal and the future King of Romania.
The children of Phillipe and Marie were:
- Prince Baudouin (3 June 1869 -- 23 January 1891); he died of influenza at the age of 21.
- Princess Henriette (30 November 1870 -- 28 March 1948); she married Prince Emmanuel, Duke of Vendôme on 12 February 1896. They had four children.
- Princess Joséphine Marie (30 November 1870 -- 18 January 1871), twin to Princess Henriette.
- Princess Joséphine Caroline (18 October 1872 -- 6 January 1958); she married Prince Karl Anton of Hohenzollern on 28 May 1894. They had four children.
- King Albert I (8 April 1875 -- 17 February 1934); he married Duchess Elisabeth of Bavaria on 2 October 1900. They had three children.
He died in his residence the Palace of the Count of Flanders, and is buried at the Church of Our Lady of Laeken. He was succeeded as heir presumptive to the throne by his son, Albert.

# Richard Butler (publisher)
**Richard Butler** (born 11 November 1834 at Coteau du Lac, Lower Canada - 16 March 1925) was an editor, publisher, journalist and U.S. vice-consul in Hamilton, Ontario.
## Life
His parents had been born in Ireland and arrived in Canada a few months before his birth. He worked from childhood, so he had little formal education. He worked first as a confectioner and baker in Montreal, and secured a job with the *Montreal Herald* when he was twelve years old. This enabled him to help his mother raise Butler and his three siblings, after his father had died suddenly when serving in the British 24th Foot Regiment stationed in Canada.
His experience working for newspapers continued after the family moved to London, Ontario, where he found work for the *London Free Press*. He also gained experience in Hamilton working at the *Journal and Express* office. Butler moved to the United States in 1852 at the age of seventeen, working in Rochester, New York for the *Rochester Union*. In 1854 he returned to Hamilton, where he helped establish a union for printers. By 1859 he had worked his way up to an assistant foreman at the *Christian Advocate*.
He returned to the United States in time to be listed in the 1860 census as a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he worked as a printer.
In 1862, he became editor of the *Oxford Citizen*, a newspaper in Oxford, Ohio, which he sold in 1870. He also operated a printing business there. During his Oxford years, Butler was active in a fraternal temperance society called the Good Templars and spent a few months in the Union Army. In 1915 he published a short history of early Oxford called *Ancient Oxford*. First appearing in a newspaper, it was later published as a short book.
In 1870, Butler bought a newspaper in Oberlin, Ohio which proved to be a mistake. Oberlin College wanted a religious paper`{{Clarify|date=February 2014}}`{=mediawiki}. After two years Butler sold the newspaper, and shortly afterwards became city editor of the *Burlington Hawkeye* in Burlington, Iowa. Eventually he moved to Illinois, where he bought the *Clinton Public* and was its editor and publisher for twenty-five years.
In 1897, after selling the *Public*, he returned to Canada once again where (as an ardent Republican) he was appointed to the position of U.S. vice-consul in the Ontario city of Hamilton, a position he held for eighteen years. At the same time was employed by the town\'s newspaper, the *Hamilton Spectator*, and wrote a column on the history of Hamilton for the Saturday edition of the paper, titled \"Saturday Musings\". The column appeared under the pen name of The Muser.
## Tribute
The Butler neighbourhood in Hamilton Mountain is named after him. It is bounded by Stone Church Road East (north), Rymal Road East (south), Upper Wentworth Street (west) and Upper Sherman Street (east). Landmarks in this neighbourhood include St. Jean de Brebeuf High School and Billy Sherring Park

# 3 for Bedroom C
***Three for Bedroom \"C\"*** (sometimes written as *3 for Bedroom \"C\"*) is a 1952 American comedy film released by Warner Brothers. It was directed by Milton H. Bren, who also wrote the screenplay. The film stars Gloria Swanson as an aging movie star. Music by Heinz Roemheld.
## Plot
Ann Haven, an aging movie actress, receives an urgent wire demanding that she immediately return to Hollywood to star in a new film.
She is not thrilled with the idea, but decides to go anyway. She plans to leave New York for Los Angeles by train, bringing along her bold young daughter, Barbara.
Unfortunately, the train is full so they have no choice but to stow away in a sleeping compartment. The berth belongs to a shy and introverted biochemistry professor from Harvard, Ollie J. Thrumm. He ends up boarding the train in Chicago. Romance and complications ensue --- including havoc from Ann\'s agent Johnny Pizer, (who was also in Sunset Boulevard).
## Cast
- Gloria Swanson as Ann Haven
- James Warren as Professor Ollie J. Thruman
- Fred Clark as Johnny Pizer
- Hans Conreid as Press agent Jack Bleck
- Steve Brodie as Conde Marlowe
- Janine Perreau as Barbara Haven
- Margaret Dumont as Mrs. Agnes Hawthorne
## Background
Riding high after the critical and financial success of *Sunset Boulevard* (1950), Swanson was offered more film roles. According to her, they were all pale imitations of Norma Desmond, her character in the hit film.
Reluctant to accept the roles, in fear of being typecast as a faded actress, she agreed to be in *Three for Bedroom \"C\"* because it offered something different --- it was a comedy. This was her first film in color, and she was also costume designer for the project. Swanson hoped to duplicate her previous success. Unfortunately, the film underperformed with critics and with audiences

# Philipp von Neumann
**Baron Philipp Roger Franz von Neumann** (*Philipp Roger Franz \[\[Freiherr\]\] von Neumann*; *Philipp Roger Francis Baron de Neumann*; 4 December 1781 -- 14 January 1851) was an Austrian diplomat.
## Early life {#early_life}
Neumann was born in Brussels (then in the Austrian Netherlands), the son of Carl von Neumann (an official in the Habsburg administration) and his wife, Marie Ducpetiaux. Nothing is known of his education, but, since he did not begin work until he was 21, it seems likely that he attended university. His brother was General-major Maximillian Ritter von Neumann (c. 1778--1846).
## Career
Neumann began his career in the Austrian Treasury Service in 1802 and was posted to Venice which had come under Austrian control a few years previously. After just over a year he joined the diplomatic service and was posted to Paris where Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich was Austrian ambassador.
Later Neumann joined the staff of the Austrian embassy in London under the ambassador Prince Esterházy; Neumann served as *chargé d\'affaires* in his absence. Neumann\'s activity was regarded as notable, especially in 1814 and 1815, on the occasion of the remittance of the British subsidies to the Austrian government, when he succeeded in obtaining very favourable conditions for Austria on the question of the rate of exchange. He was on excellent terms with the Duke of Wellington, whose grandniece he married, and with Castlereagh. When Wellington repeated his famous remark that \"Nothing except a battle lost can be half as melancholy as a battle won\", Neumann tactfully replied that in fact Wellington had never lost a battle. He described Castlereagh\'s suicide as \"a great mystery which perhaps time will explain\".
In 1824 Neumann took part in the negotiations between Portugal and Brazil, as a result of King John VI of Portugal and his son Emperor Pedro I of Brazil were reconciled. In December 1826 Neumann was sent to Brazil to negotiate the marriage of Pedro\'s daughter Maria to his brother Miguel, and the demand by Miguel that he be recognised as regent of Portugal. In October of the following year he attended the negotiations on this matter carried on at Vienna.
In December 1829 Neumann conducted the Treaty of Commerce between Austria and Great Britain. In recognition of his services he was created a Baron by the Emperor Francis I of Austria on 31 August 1830.
In 1844 Neumann became Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary for Austria to the Court of St. James\'s. In 1845 he was appointed Austrian minister in Florence, and on 31 December 1849 he was appointed Austrian minister in Brussels.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
On 5 December 1844 in Marylebone, London, Baron von Neumann married Lady Charlotte Augusta Frederica Somerset (1816-1850), eldest daughter of Henry Somerset, 7th Duke of Beaufort and Georgiana FitzRoy. A Roman Catholic ceremony was celebrated first at the Austrian embassy, Chandos House (officiated by Dr. Griffiths, vicar apostolic of the district of London), followed by a Church of England ceremony at St George\'s, Hanover Square, Hanover Square (officiated by Dr. Gerald Wellesley). Together, they were the parents of a stillborn son in 1850 and a daughter:
- Natalie von Neumann (b. 1845), who was born in England.
A week after she gave birth to a stillborn son, Lady Charlotte Augusta died, aged 34, on 20 September 1850 in Brussels. Neumann died less than four months later on 14 January 1851 in Brussels. Neumann is buried in the Duke of Beaufort\'s family vault at Badminton, Gloucestershire. There is a memorial in Badminton church.
### Honours
Neumann was a Knight (since 1822) and a Commander (since 1830) of the Austrian Order of Leopold, Commander of the Portuguese Order of the Tower and Sword, Commander of the Brazilian Order of the Southern Cross, Knight Grand Cross of the Russian Order of St Stanislas. He was also awarded the Austrian Cross for Civil Merit

# Roger Nelson (skydiver)
**Roger Warren Nelson** (October 25, 1955 -- June 7, 2003) was a skydiver, convicted drug smuggler, and founder of Skydive Chicago, one of the largest skydiving centers in the United States.
## Freak Brothers {#freak_brothers}
Nelson and his older brother, Carl Nelson, grew up in Lisle, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. They began their skydiving careers in 1971 as novice parachutists at a drop-zone surrounded by cornfields in Hinckley, Illinois. At the time, relative work (RW) or formation skydiving was in its infancy. Carl and Roger Nelson, unlike most skydivers at the time, were not ex-military and had the \'70s hippie look, with long hair and grubby clothes. They became known as the \"Freak Brothers\". The name stuck. A form of flying that they later popularized (anything that was not belly to earth) became known as freak-flying, eventually morphing into freeflying.
The Freak Brothers became an inclusive organization for skydivers, with thousands of *Freak Brothers* worldwide. Nelson, his wife Jeannie and Carl organized the first large skydiving boogies in the form of the annual Freak Brothers Convention, which was later superseded by the World FreeFall Convention.
Carl, an accomplished skydiver with over 1,000 jumps, died in a skydiving accident in 1979.
## Later life {#later_life}
Nelson went on to become a U.S. National Skydiving Champion and served as a director of the U.S. Parachute Association. He set four world records and earned a gold medal in national competition. With over 6,000 jumps and 100 hours of freefall, Nelson was involved in television, lectures and authored numerous books and articles on the sport. He earned his wings as a commercial pilot with over 10,000 flight hours.
In 1987, Nelson pleaded guilty to tax evasion and was sentenced to ten years in federal prison for unreported income related to his international drug smuggling operation. He served five years with time off for good behavior. Nelson, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Register \# 95870--024, was released from BOP custody on December 18, 1992.
Nelson organized numerous attempts to break the world record for \"largest skydiving formation\".
- 1986 set the FAI world record at 120
- 1988 set the FAI world record at 144
- 1994 attempted to break the record
- 1995 attempted to break the record
- 1998 set the FAI world record at 246 (and the Guinness Book record at 259)
- 2000 attempted to break the record
## Death
In 2003, Nelson died in a skydiving accident. While he was landing he collided with another jumper, causing his parachute to collapse. Nelson then fell about 50 feet and received fatal injuries

# Islamic Society of Britain
The **Islamic Society of Britain** (**ISB**) was set up in 1990 for British Muslims to promote Islamic values. Its youth wing is The Young Muslims UK (YMUK).
## Background
The ISB\'s first president was Zahid Parvez. On 16 November 2013 Sughra Ahmed was elected president of ISB, the first female to hold that post. According to *Islamic Organizations in Europe and the USA*, the society caters to non-Arab Sunni Muslims, born and brought up in Britain. Anti-Islamist author, Ed Husain, who participated in an ISB \"Usrah\" religious study group in the 1990s, describes the society as \"proudly British\", predominately middle class and professional. Julie Siddiqi was the executive director of the Islamic Society of Britain from 2010 to 2014.
According to the book *The Muslim Brothers in Europe: Roots and Discourse*, the society is \"based on a chaotic partnership\" between members or former members of the Muslim Brotherhood and former members of Jamaat-e-Islami. R. Geaves describes ISB as one of several movements that \"have their ideological roots in the activism of Sayyid Qutb and Maulana Mawdudi\", but whose \"radical voice that called for an Islamic state has been toned down to a gradualist approach and the emergence of \`British Islam\`.\"
According to Husain, the society broke with Jamaat-e-Islami, and has taken a \"vehement stand\" against the global, neo-caliphate Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir.
In 1997, some supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood \"broke off\" from ISB to form the Muslim Association of Britain, and Husain writes, some bitterness remains between the two groups. According to Anshuman A. Mondal, the society \"has been one of a large number\" of British Muslim \"organizations, individuals and processes \... that have been contesting older Islamist ideas, to varying degrees.\".
## Methods of working {#methods_of_working}
The Islamic Society of Britain directs its work into the following areas:
Internally:
- Open and dynamic organisation
- Personal development of members- in outlook, Understanding, skills and character
- Facilitating spiritual progress of members
And externally:
- Promoting a deep awareness of Islam
- Social concern and engagement
## Membership and structure {#membership_and_structure}
The Islamic Society of Britain is a nationwide organisation that has local branches in addition to a national guiding body, the \'Shura\' - consisting of representatives from all the major sections of the organisation. The president and Shura are elected every two years by the membership. Annual Members Meetings provide a formal setting for members to feedback to the leadership, exchange views and opinions and help shape the organisation (although informally this is occurring all the time).
ISB is an organic body of Muslims with no hierarchical structure other than individual participation. Membership is open to all Muslims irrespective of gender, age or background.

The Islamic Society of Britain was an affiliate body of the Muslim Council of Britain until February 2016, when it disaffiliated.
### Controversies
#### Screening of *The Message* {#screening_of_the_message}
In 2015, on behalf of the ISB, The Grosvenor, a cinema in Glasgow, Scotland, was due to screen *The Message*, an Oscar-nominated film about the life of the prophet Muhammad. The screening was met with opposition by some groups, claiming that the film was disrespectful and offensive to Muslims, and following threats the screening was cancelled. In response to the cancellation, the ISB said:
> "These protestors demonstrate the worst elements of our community, as they are imposing their beliefs on others."
They also expressed "deep regret" that a decision had been made based on what it viewed as a "small number of objections."
#### Poppy hijabs {#poppy_hijabs}
Joining Remembrance traditions to remember those fallen in war, the ISB launched a version of the customary poppy in the form of a 'poppy hijab', a headscarf designed with printed poppies for Muslim women as a way for them to support the campaign. The hijab was created in collaboration with think-tank, British Future and also aimed to remember the Muslim soldiers who had also fought in World War I. The president of ISB, Sughra Ahmed said:
> "It's a way for ordinary Muslim citizens to take some attention away from extremists who seem to grab the headlines. This symbol of quiet remembrance is the face of everyday British Islam -- not the angry minority who spout hatred and offend everyone."
The move was met with opposition by some British Muslims who viewed it as a 'test' for British Muslims who had to prove their loyalty to Britain and to show that they were not 'extremists'.
Further objections also included that the hijab, which many treat as a sign of religiosity and devotion to God, should not be used as a political tool

# Rufous trident bat
The **rufous trident bat**, **Persian trident bat**, or **triple nose-leaf bat** (***Triaenops persicus***) is a species of bat in the genus *Triaenops*. It occurs in southwestern Pakistan, southern Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. In the last country, it occurs together with the much smaller *Triaenops parvus*. Populations from Madagascar and mainland Africa have also been assigned to *T. persicus*, but are referable to the species *Triaenops menamena* and *Triaenops afer*, respectively. Madagascar populations have also been referred to as *Triaenops rufus*, but this name is a synonym of *T. persicus*.
Findings from a study incorporating morphological data and echolocation calls have suggested that populations in the Rift Valley in Kenya (Nakuru, Baringo, and Pokot counties), previously believed to be *Triaenops afer*, are actually populations of *T. persicus*, although with some differentiation from the Middle Eastern populations in terms of both cranial morphology and vocalisations

# Marianne Karlsmose
**Marianne Karlsmose** (born 6 June 1973) is a Danish politician who was leader of the party the Christian Democrats from 2002 to 2005 and again in 2022.
## Education and career {#education_and_career}
Karlsmose graduated from the (Fredericia Amtsgymnasium) high school in 1992. She received a master\'s degree in history and politics from the University of Aarhus in 2001.
She was formerly the party leader from 2002 to 2005. When she succeeded Jann Sjursen in 2002 she led an invigoration process of the party was one of the drivers for a name change of the party from the somewhat archaic name \"Kristeligt Folkeparti\" to the more modern \"Kristendemokraterne\". At the general election in 2005, the party did not pass the general threshold of two percent of the votes and it lost its seats in the Danish parliament Folketinget. As a consequence, Marianne Karlsmose stepped down and was succeeded by Bodil Kornbek.
After former leader of the Christian Democrats Isabella Arendt stepped down in May 2022, Karlsmose functioned as temporary leader of the party. She was officially elected in October 2022, in the midst of the 2022 general election. Karlsmose has led a campaign against former Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen of the Moderates to position herself as the center-right of Danish politics. Karlsmose supports a government over the center and wants to avoid a government with the Denmark Democrats, the New Right and the Danish People\'s Party.
Karlsmose stepped down from the position of leader on 7 November 2022 after a disappointing result of 0.5% of the vote in the 2022 Danish general election.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
She is married to Birger Nielsen. They have two children. Karlsmose is also a high school teacher at the Christian High School in Ringkøbing

**Nebraska Highway 63** is a north--south highway in eastern Nebraska with a length of 13.93 mi. It is also known throughout Cass County as **238th Street**, except in the village of Alvo, where it adopts the name **Russell Street**. Its southern terminus is at U.S. Highway 34 east of Eagle. Its northern terminus is at U.S. Highway 6 southwest of Ashland.
## Route description {#route_description}
Nebraska Highway 63 begins at US 34 east of Eagle. It goes north into farmland through Alvo before intersecting Interstate 80. It goes north towards Ashland before ending at US 6. Nebraska Highway 63 currently lies entirely in Cass County. Exit signage on Interstate 80 indicates the Nebraska Highway 63 exit as the exit for Ashland and Greenwood.
## History
Prior to October 24, 2005, Nebraska Highway 63 extended north from its present terminus on a concurrency with U.S. Highway 6 to Ashland. At Ashland, it turned north, and followed a highway which went north and west near the villages of Memphis and Ithaca, eventually terminating at U.S. Highway 77 south of Wahoo. On that day, that part of the highway was renumbered as Nebraska Highway 66

# Mycobacterium kansasii
***Mycobacterium kansasii*** is a bacterium in the *Mycobacterium* genus. It is an environmental bacteria that causes opportunistic infections in humans, and is one of the leading mycobacterial causes of human disease after tuberculosis and leprosy.
## Description
Gram-positive, nonmotile, moderately-long to long, and acid-fast rods.
### Colony characteristics {#colony_characteristics}
It forms smooth to rough colonies after 7 or more days of incubation and is considered a slow grower. Colonies grown in dark are nonpigmented, when grown in light or when young colonies are exposed briefly to light, colonies become brilliant yellow (photochromogenic) according to the Runyon classification of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria. Oxygen is essential for the development of the pigment. If grown in a lighted incubator, most strains form dark red crystals of β-carotene on the surface and inside of colony.
### Physiology
Its physiology is described as growth on Middlebrook 7H10 agar at 37°C within 7 days or more, resistant to pyrazinamide and susceptible to ethambutol.
### Differential characteristics {#differential_characteristics}
It is closely related to the non-pathogenic, also slowly growing, nonpigmented, *M. gastri*. Both species share an identical 16S rDNA but differentiation is possible by differences in the ITS and hsp65 sequences. A commercial hybridisation assay (AccuProbe) to identify *M. kansasii* exists.
### *M. kansasii* complex {#m._kansasii_complex}
Several former subtypes of *M. kansasii* have been reclassified as closely related species, and along with *M. gastri* form the *M. kansasii* complex (MKC). The species in the MKC are
- *Mycobacterium kansasii* (former subtype I)
- *Mycobacterium persicum* (former subtype II)
- *Mycobacterium pseudokansasii* (former subtype III)
- *Mycobacterium ostraviense* (former subtype IV)
- *Mycobacterium innocens* (former subtype V)
- *Mycobacterium attenuatum* (former subtype VI)
- and *Mycobacterium gastri*
## Discovery
*Mycobacterium kansasii* was first described in 1952 after being identified as the cause of two cases of disease resembling human pulmonary tuberculosis at Kansas City General Hospital and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
## Pathogenesis
*M. kansasii* may cause chronic human pulmonary disease resembling tuberculosis. Extrapulmonary infections, such as cervical lymphadenitis in children, cutaneous and soft tissues infections, and musculoskeletal system involvement are uncommon. Rarely it causes disseminated disease in patients with severely impaired cellular immunity (such as organ transplants or AIDS). Pre-existing lung disease such as silicosis is a risk factor. *Mycobacterium kansasii* occasionally involves the skin in a sporotrichoid pattern. It is unclear where people acquire the infection and person-to-person spread is not thought to occur. Tap water is believed to be the major reservoir associated with human disease. Biosafety level 2 is indicated.
## Type strain {#type_strain}
First and most frequently isolated from human pulmonary secretions and lesions.
Strain ATCC 12478 = CIP 104589 = DSM 44162 = JCM 6379 = NCTC 13024

# Troublewit
**Troublewit** is a specially pleated paper used for entertainment purposes. The paper is used to form various items, such as hats, fans and umbrellas by stage entertainers and illusionists.
Its origins go back at least to the 17th Century. The method of preparing the paper was described in English as early as 1676 by the anonymous author \"J.M.\" in \"Sports and Pastimes\" but was said to be performed by a French monk \"Pere Mathieu\". British magic dealer Ellis Stanyon sold the folded papers ready-made and included a routine in his 1905 book, \"Magic: or Conjuring for Amateurs,\" and an outstanding, photographically-illustrated routine was included in C. Lang Neil\'s \"The Modern Conjurer\" (1903). Houdini mentioned the novelty in his 1922 book \"Paper Magic.\"
According to Stanyon, \"The groundwork of the paper-folding is not by any means new, having been known for several hundred years at least under various names, as: \"Chinese Fan,\" \"Fantastic Fan,\" \"Trouble Wit,\" etc.\" According to Houdini, Monsieur Felicien Trewey presented it throughout Europe and America under the name of \"Papier Multiforme.\" The late Canadian magician Sid Lorraine claimed some credit for re-popularizing the novelty by working out updated routines for it and performing it at magician\'s conventions, and he included a routine in his 1950 book \"More Patter.\"
The accordion-style creasing pattern allows the stiff paper to be compressed into a small space for transport, and yet transformed into, according to Stanyon, over one hundred different shapes during a performance, with an accompanying story. Despite its age, the entertainment is still a distinct novelty to most audiences

# Okinawa Television
, also known as **OTV**, is a Japanese broadcast network affiliated with the FNN/FNS. Their headquarters are located in Okinawa Prefecture.
It is the first commercial broadcaster to operate within Okinawa during the American occupation in the prefecture. In addition to airing Fuji TV programs, it also airs some of the Nippon TV output, and also represents Okinawa in the 24-Hour Television telethon. Okinawa has no NNN affiliate of its own, but there was a failed plan to introduce such an affiliate on UHF in the early 90s, the plan was eventually halted.
## History
### American administration {#american_administration}
The American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS), which began airing in 1955, was Okinawa\'s first television station. Because the initial transmission power was just 250 watts, it was virtually unknown in Japan outside of the US military. In July 1956, the administrative chairman of the Ryukyu Government, applied for the establishment for a television station; the preparatory license was granted in February 1958, and the inaugural meeting was held in April of the same year.
At that time, when Okinawa was under the rule of the United States, Okinawa TV was subject to restrictions in terms of foreign ownership, which made it difficult for them to operate. It then resulted in the forming of \"Tokyo Okinawa TV Corporation\", a joint company between Fuji TV and OTV, to attract advertisers from Tokyo. This is one of the reasons why OTV joined as a Fuji TV affiliate.
On October 16, 1959, Okinawa TV began test broadcasts; on November 1 of the same year, Okinawa TV officially launched, with the call sign **KSDW-TV**, becoming Okinawa\'s first private TV station. In 1963, Okinawa TV began to broadcast programs during the day, and the average daily broadcast time was extended to 11 hours; in the same year, Okinawa TV\'s turnover exceeded US\$670,000, making a profit for the first time. The following year, with the completion of the microwave relay line between mainland Japan and Okinawa Prefecture, Okinawa TV started the real-time broadcast of programs from mainland Japan. At that time, the NHK did not have a branch in Okinawa, so Okinawa TV broadcast some NHK programs such as asadoras from 1964 to 1968. After the Okinawa Broadcasting Corporation started broadcasting in December 1968, Okinawa TV used Fuji TV programs fill the gaps left by NHK programs that moved to OHK. On May 5, 1968, Okinawa TV began to broadcast color TV programs, initially broadcasting 2 hours of color programs daily; in the same year, Okinawa TV\'s turnover exceeded US\$1.2 million. In 1970, Okinawa Television realized stock dividends for the first time.

## History
### Post-reversion {#post_reversion}
After the reversion agreement of Okinawa in 1972, the call sign of Okinawa TV was changed from KSDW-TV to JOOF-TV, the channel number was changed from channel 10 to channel 8 (192--198 MHz in both systems), and the proportion of color programs increased to 91%. This year, Okinawa TV\'s turnover increased by 43.3%, reaching 950 million yen. In 1974, Okinawa Television achieved uninterrupted broadcasting throughout the day. In 1981, Okinawa Television began construction of a new headquarters, which was completed in February 1983. The new headquarters project cost 2.2 billion yen and has 12 floors above ground, of which floors 3 to 5 are exclusive spaces for Okinawa TV. The photo studio is located on the third floor, the news studio and the main control room are located on the fourth floor, and the various business offices are located on the fifth floor. Beginning in 1987, Okinawa TV produced a long-term documentary series \"Okinawa Sends Us Earthlings\" to introduce Okinawan immigrants from around the world. It was broadcast for 10 years with 135 episodes. In 1986, the turnover of Okinawa TV exceeded the turnover of Ryukyu Broadcasting television division for the first time. The turnover of Okinawa TV in 1987 reached 4.4 billion yen, which increased nearly five times in the 15 years after the reversion of Okinawa. In 1991, Okinawa TV station introduced the satellite news broadcast (SNG) system.
In 1993, Okinawa TV and Ryukyu Broadcasting jointly set up a relay station in the Sakishima Islands, enabling locals to watch private TV programs. In order to expand revenue other than TV advertising, Okinawa TV opened a housing exhibition hall in 1995 and entered the housing industry. In 1996, the documentary \"Soldiers Waited for 50 Years by the Sad Wind\" produced by Okinawa Television won the Grand Prize of the Federation of Civil Liberties and Liberation Awards and was the first TV station in Okinawa Prefecture. This honor was achieved once. Since the introduction of mechanical ratings surveys in Okinawa Prefecture, Okinawa TV won the triple crown of ratings in 1997 and 1998, and then won the triple crown of ratings for 11 consecutive years from 2002 to 2012.
### Digitalization
On December 1, 2006, Okinawa TV began to broadcast digital TV signals, and stopped broadcasting analog TV signals on July 24, 2011. However, as the equipment investment costs of digital television became a heavy burden, Okinawa Television once again experienced a deficit in 45 years in 2007. In 2008, Okinawa TV returned to profitability. In 2012, Okinawa TV became an equity method subsidiary of Fuji Media Holdings. As of March 2016, Okinawa TV has ranked first in daily ratings for 236 consecutive months.
## Stations
### Analog
Information as of the time of analog shutdown on July 24, 2011. OTV was one of the four commercial television stations to broadcast on VHF channel 8 (the other three being Kochi Broadcasting, an NNN station, and two FNN stations sharing the same frequency, Fuji Television and Kansai TV).

# Observed information
In statistics, the **observed information**, or **observed Fisher information**, is the negative of the second derivative (the Hessian matrix) of the \"log-likelihood\" (the logarithm of the likelihood function). It is a sample-based version of the Fisher information.
## Definition
Suppose we observe random variables $X_1,\ldots,X_n$, independent and identically distributed with density *f*(*X*; θ), where θ is a (possibly unknown) vector. Then the log-likelihood of the parameters $\theta$ given the data $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ is
$$\ell(\theta | X_1,\ldots,X_n) = \sum_{i=1}^n \log f(X_i| \theta)$$.
We define the **observed information matrix** at $\theta^{*}$ as
$$\mathcal{J}(\theta^*)
= - \left.
\nabla \nabla^{\top}
\ell(\theta)
\right|_{\theta=\theta^*}$$
$$= -
\left.
\left( \begin{array}{cccc}
\tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial \theta_1^2}
& \tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial \theta_1 \partial \theta_2}
& \cdots
& \tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial \theta_1 \partial \theta_p} \\
\tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial \theta_2 \partial \theta_1}
& \tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial \theta_2^2}
& \cdots
& \tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial \theta_2 \partial \theta_p} \\
\vdots &
\vdots &
\ddots &
\vdots \\
\tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial \theta_p \partial \theta_1}
& \tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial \theta_p \partial \theta_2}
& \cdots
& \tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial \theta_p^2} \\
\end{array} \right)
\ell(\theta)
\right|_{\theta = \theta^*}$$ Since the inverse of the information matrix is the asymptotic covariance matrix of the corresponding maximum-likelihood estimator, the observed information is often evaluated at the maximum-likelihood estimate for the purpose of significance testing or confidence-interval construction. The invariance property of maximum-likelihood estimators allows the observed information matrix to be evaluated before being inverted.
### Alternative definition {#alternative_definition}
Andrew Gelman, David Dunson and Donald Rubin define observed information instead in terms of the parameters\' posterior probability, $p(\theta|y)$:
$I(\theta) = - \frac{d^2}{d\theta^2} \log p(\theta|y)$
## Fisher information {#fisher_information}
The Fisher information $\mathcal{I}(\theta)$ is the expected value of the observed information given a single observation $X$ distributed according to the hypothetical model with parameter $\theta$:
$$\mathcal{I}(\theta) = \mathrm{E}(\mathcal{J}(\theta))$$.
## Comparison with the expected information {#comparison_with_the_expected_information}
The comparison between the observed information and the expected information remains an active and ongoing area of research and debate. Efron and Hinkley provided a frequentist justification for preferring the observed information to the expected information when employing normal approximations to the distribution of the maximum-likelihood estimator in one-parameter families in the presence of an ancillary statistic that affects the precision of the MLE. Lindsay and Li showed that the observed information matrix gives the minimum mean squared error as an approximation of the true information if an error term of $O(n^{-3/2})$ is ignored. In Lindsay and Li\'s case, the expected information matrix still requires evaluation at the obtained ML estimates, introducing randomness.
However, when the construction of confidence intervals is of primary focus, there are reported findings that the expected information outperforms the observed counterpart. Yuan and Spall showed that the expected information outperforms the observed counterpart for confidence-interval constructions of scalar parameters in the mean squared error sense. This finding was later generalized to multiparameter cases, although the claim had been weakened to the expected information matrix performing at least as well as the observed information matrix

# Galo People
The **Galo** are a tribe in Arunachal Pradesh, who are descendants of Abotani. They speak the Tani Galo language. Other names which have been used to reference the Galo tribe in the past include *Duba*, *Doba*, *Dobah Abor*, *Galo Abor*, *Galo*, *Galo Adi*, etc. The Galo have been listed as a scheduled tribe under the name *Galo* since 1950.
## Folklore in relation to resource use and management {#folklore_in_relation_to_resource_use_and_management}
The fact that **Turi or eri**, according to **Galo**\'s wisdom, can be the common ancestor of **Tani** (the first human-being and the ancestor of human-beings), **Taki** (the ancestor of spirits) and **Tanyo** \[the ancestor of cat families which include **`{{transliteration|adl|italic=no|Nyote}}`{=mediawiki}** (tiger), **Nyopak-takar** (leopard), **Nyoke** (Panther), **Nyoli**, **Nyomuk**, **Nyoji** (various species of wild cats)\] signifies the harmonious relationship that the Galo society shares with other living and non-living forms. As the saying goes, **`{{transliteration|adl|tumsi nyomara lo, hottum elam go hore lelam go doma rem yobe nyine hage ha rem. Tumsi nyomra irga kama, isi opo kama rem mopin e irga kama. Sile boso gobo golak go goka kichin gatugo ao go kama rem nyiram re.}}`{=mediawiki}** That is, **\'O human! What worth is human life when forests without flora and fauna, rivers without fish\'.** Instead of assuming themselves as the \'possessor\' of nature, their core world view of \'community of beings\' places resource use and its management, apart from providing material sustenance, as a binding agent between human-nature relationship, human-human relationship and human-nature-supernatural relationship. Moreover, resources also act as a metaphysical medium to appease supernatural beings/spirits. Nature, according to Galo\'s worldview, has also unknown and destructive dimensions. Thus, periodic rituals with respect to land, water and forests becomes mandatory to pacify the anger of this incomprehensible element of nature, which manifests in the form of spirits.
The constant squabbling over the ownership of land between **Tani** (the mythical forefather of the Galos) and **Taki** (the spirit brother of Tani) led to division of ownership of resources: the domesticated ones (one owned by humankind) and the wild ones owned by ethereal beings/spirits. In order to resolve the conflict, **Donyi Jilo**, a respected priest, intervened and divided the land into **momen** (the domesticated one) and **modir** (vertical/land not suitable for human use). Moreover, he explicitly instructed both the beings not to intervene in each-other\'s land. However, the Galo people hold the notion that **Taki**\'s descendent groups namely, the **Doje**, **Yapom**, **Pomte- Sarte** and the **Bute-Kamdu** frequently trespasses onto momen inhabiting trees, streams, caves, rocks etc. And the way to honor them is to conduct rituals. One such ritual, **Ampu Yolu**, is observed in relation to protection of crops from pests and diseases. Through this ritual, the spirits/deities, namely **Jeru Poru**, **Pote**, **Biro-mugli** and **Yapom** are revered. In particular, village women perform the rite, **amsep-misep**, wherein a paste of **`{{transliteration|adl|italic=no|amtir}}`{=mediawiki}** (rice powder) and **opo** (fermented rice) is tied to bamboo sticks and placed randomly in jhum fields. This helps to attract pests. Moreover, it is considered a boon for good harvest.
Another ritual, **dir-tachi**, is observed in case of excessive pest infestation. In the past, according to Galo\'s wisdom, **Tachi** was mainly responsible for the famine in the region. Etymologically, dir also signifies famine. The ritualistic process involves tiny packets of edible grains and vegetables in combination with an egg, fowl or a pig, which is offered to the spirit, **Uyis**. After the ritual, effigies of Uyis, made of bamboo leaves along with other offerings are placed in a bamboo raft (**hipe**) and immersed in the river. In relation to famine, the Galo\'s myth goes like this: **Diyi Tami**, daughter of **Mopin** and the first wife of **Abo Tani**, leaves for **Digo Pine** (the land of Mopin). In her absence, **Rosi Tami**, daughter of **Dir** (the famine) and the second wife of **Abo Tani**, mistakenly puts two grains in a magical pot. In normal circumstances, one grain would be sufficient to prepare enough food for the whole family. Putting two grains result in surplus food. Not knowing what to do, she asks **Diro-Kibo** (dog of famine) to consume the excess rice. Along with consuming the excess rice, he also consumes the magical power of the pot. Thus, the magical pot loses its inherent capacity to produce huge quantity of rice with a single grain. Subsequently, it led to famine in the region. In order to address the food-shortage, **Abo Tani**, following the order of **Diyi Tami**, drowns **Rosi Tami** in the river and kills **Diro-Kibo**

# The Confession of Isobel Gowdie
***The Confession of Isobel Gowdie*** is a work for large symphony orchestra by the Scottish composer James MacMillan.
It is, according to the composer, a Requiem for one Isobel Gowdie, supposedly burnt as a witch in post-Reformation Scotland. Despite the work\'s depiction of the violent torture and execution of Gowdie, it is actually thought that no torture took place prior to her confession; although it is likely she was executed in 1662 no records exist to confirm it.
It was written in 1990 and premiered at that year\'s Proms concerts in London. It was an instant success, receiving, according to the critic Stephen Johnson, \"an ovation the like of which had rarely been seen at a British premiere since the death of Benjamin Britten\".
The work falls into three major sections: an opening, elegiac string section, followed by a violent middle part (according to Johnson, redolent of \"trial, torture or mass hysteria\") followed by a return to the more subdued atmosphere of the opening for strings, but this time punctuated by violent outbursts from the full orchestra. It resolves on one note, in a massive crescendo to *fffff* which bears the hallmark of a similar motif in Alban Berg\'s *Wozzeck*.
The work was premiered by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, under Jerzy Maksymiuk, who later recorded it. It has been performed and recorded many times since, including repeat performances by the BBC SSO, and the RSAMD Symphony Orchestra in the composer\'s 50th birthday celebrations.
## Instrumentation

# Jákup Mikkelsen
**Jákup Nolsøe Mikkelsen** (born 14 August 1970) is a Faroese former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He made 522 league appearances in representing six clubs in a career spanning 25 years, also representing his country at international level.
A regular member of the Faroe Islands national team between 1995 and 2013, Mikkelsen won 73 caps, and in playing against Iceland on 16 August 2012 aged 42 years and one day, became the oldest goalkeeper ever to play an international match, the record that has since been surpassed by Colombian Faryd Mondragon.
Mikkelsen is a schoolteacher and goalkeeping coach for the Faroe Islands national team. He also sat in the city council of this native town of Klaksvík for one election period. In his youth, he worked as a postman in Klaksvík. He was also the best teacher
## Club career {#club_career}
Born in Klaksvík, Mikkelsen started at KÍ Klaksvík, where he sometimes was used as an outfield player, before moving abroad to play for several years in Denmark and Norway. In the 1999--2000 season, he only missed 2 games in Herfølge BK\'s title winning season, hence becoming the first ever Faroese to win a league championship in any other country than Faroes and he played both games against Rangers in their 2000--01 Champions League qualifying round and four more games in the UEFA Cup that season. He played 136 matches for Herfølge BK. After playing for Herfølge for five years Mikkelsen and his team won the Danish Championship. After a short spell at Scottish side Partick Thistle he returned to the Faroe Islands.
In early 2010 Mikkelsen signed a deal with Faroese football club ÍF Fuglafjørður.
Having made 118 league appearances for the club, Mikkelsen retired from playing football in November 2014 aged 44, stating that his advanced age had made it impossible for him to continue.
In 2016, Mikkelsen made a brief return to playing with ÍF, keeping a clean sheet in a 2--0 win at B68 Toftir on 18 September, and appeared on the substitutes\' bench on a further five occasions.
## International career {#international_career}
He was a part of the squad as a reserve goalkeeper already as 18 years old in the summer of 1988, when Faroes played their very first international game after becoming full members of FIFA, losing 1--0 to Iceland in Akranes. However, Mikkelsen only made his debut for the Faroe Islands in July 1995 friendly match against Iceland and has since earned 72 caps. He was on the bench as early as in August 1988, when the Faroes played their first match since becoming a member of FIFA, in a friendly against Iceland in Akranes.
Although having retired after the 2010 World Cup qualification, he was called up out of retirement for the Euro 2012 qualifying matches against Slovenia and Northern Ireland in October 2010, because of an injury to Gunnar Nielsen

# Gippsland GA200
The **Gippsland GA-200 Fatman** is a low-wing single-engine agricultural aircraft built by GippsAero.
## Development
Based loosely on the Piper Pawnee, the first two prototypes used damaged Pawnee frames. The third prototype, built in 1992, was the first all-original airframe. The GA-200 was fully certificated on 1 March 1991.
Certificate of Type Approval No. 83-6 for the GA200 was issued by the Australian Civil Aviation Authority on that date; the first to be issued for a totally new aircraft design in Australia since the GAF Nomad, 20 years earlier. The certification basis was the Australian certification standards, Civil Aviation Orders, Sections 101.16 and 101.22. These standards in turn incorporated the airworthiness standards of Part 23 of the US Federal Aviation Regulations.
To date,`{{When|date=October 2019}}`{=mediawiki} 50 GA200 aircraft have been manufactured at GippsAero\'s base at the Latrobe Valley Airport, 28 of which have been exported to countries throughout the world including New Zealand, China, the United States, Canada, South Africa and Brazil.
In the late 1990s, GA200 production was scaled down to make way for the GA8 Airvan.
## Design
### Wings
The \"strut braced\" design concept was chosen to allow the minimum possible weight for the wing, saving approximately 45 kg (100 lb) over a cantilever spar design. This allows a correspondingly greater maximum payload for a given empty weight. The configuration also provides a very "crashworthy" structure to provide a good "fly-on" capability following an obstacle strike. The design has been optimised for maximum strength-to-weight ratio by using "state of the art" finite element computer analysis methods. An initial conservative retirement life of 15,000 hours for critical structural components has been granted by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority. This life can be extended as results of on-going tests becomes available.
The all-metal wing panels are significantly different from those of the Piper Pawnee. The GA200 wings have full-depth laminated fail-safe spars. The outboard section is joined to the inner section at the strut intersection by load distribution doublers. This allows the relatively easy replacement of the outer wing panels. All components are corrosion proofed in special workshops prior to assembly in GippsAeros main hangars one, two and three.
The Leading Edges consist of easily replaceable segments to minimise down-time due to bird strike and other minor leading edge impacts. These segments are not handed - one spare can be fitted at any position on either wing. This is unique to the GA200.
The semi-span wing flaps are of slotted design and are effective in all flight regimes. The 15 degrees 'Take-Off' position assists with early rising of the tail and main wheel lift off, thus reducing take-off ground roll significantly. At a hopper payload of 1050 kg the ground roll has been measured at approximately 420 metres (1380 ft) with zero wind and 15 degrees Celsius at sea level.
Full flap (38 degrees) allows a landing approach speed of approximately 50-55 knots at light weight. This allows comfortable short field landings with a typical ground roll of 200 metres (650 ft). The wing flaps can also be used in flight in agricultural operations and significantly reduce turn radius when the aircraft is fully loaded.
Another important design feature of the flap system is that there is no noticeable change in pitch trim with the extension of the flaps. This has been achieved by the incorporation of a simple interconnect system which applies bias to the elevator trim springs when the flap are extended.
**Ailerons**: The ailerons are gap sealed and provide light and responsive behaviour to minimise pilot fatigue. The ailerons allow a high roll rate of approximately 3 seconds from 45 degree bank through to 45 degree bank the other way at normal working airspeeds. This is unique to the GA200.
**Wing Tips**: These are removable assemblies to allow easy replacement in the event of damage. Their shape has evolved over a number of years of "in the field" testing to provide the best possible swath width without compromising aircraft performance, and maintaining small, controlled wingtip vortices.
### Fuselage
The fuselage structure is a welded SAE 4130 chromium molybdenum steel tube assembly. The design has been optimised for maximum strength-to-weight ratio by using finite element computer analysis methods. The forward fuselage has been designed to progressively crumple in the event of a sudden forward deceleration.
Metal side panels attached by half turn 'Dzus' fasteners are fitted to both sides of the fuselage from the engine bay back past the rear cockpit. These allow ready access for ease of inspection, maintenance and cleaning. Additionally the rear fuselage upper turtledeck is easily removed for rear fuselage inspection, maintenance and cleaning.
The configuration of the pilot behind and above the load has been used. A second seat for transporting the loader driver or to allow aerial viewing by the farmer *has been a long requested design feature*. This seat is fitted to the right of the pilot seat. The side by side seating arrangement was chosen to minimise shift of the centre of gravity with cockpit load as well as to fully utilise the wide fuselage structure that was necessitated by the fitting of the larger 1070 litre (270 US gall) capacity hopper.

: With dual controls. Three built.

: 200 with extended wingtips

# Spice Engineering
**Spice Engineering** was a British racing team founded by driver Gordon Spice with Raymond Bellm in the early 1980s, later becoming a successful sports car constructor in 1986. They competed in the World Sportscar Championship in Europe as well as the IMSA GT Championship in North America, at times partnering with major manufacturers such as General Motors and Honda as well as race engine manufacturer Comptech.
## Team history {#team_history}
When founded by Gordon Spice and Raymond Bellm, who funded the company with Listerine sponsorship, Spice Engineering initially used Tiga sports cars in the World Sportscar Championship, running in the smaller C2 category. Debuting in the 1984 season, the team managed to score five class wins in the championship, aiding Tiga in finishing third in the constructor\'s standings. For 1985, the engineering arm of Spice began to develop, as the team assisted in the development of the new Tiga GC85 chassis. Gordon Spice and Ray Bellm managed to take another five class victories that year, including at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and winning the teams championship. Now constructing their own cars for 1986, Spice also expanded to the IMSA GT Championship, where they assisted in the running of Pontiac\'s Camel Lights competitor. Meanwhile, in the WSC, Spice would score another two victories, yet miss out on a repeat of the team\'s championship to Ecurie Ecosse. Spice would return to form in 1987, with seven victories and retaking the championship. Spice would expand on this even more in 1988, when in an eleven race season, they failed to win their class only once, thus earning them a third championship title.
In 1989, Spice would attempt to move into the larger C1 class, where major manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Jaguar, Nissan, Toyota, and Aston Martin competed. Spice would finish a disappointing ninth in the teams championship, with a race result of fourth that season. Fortunes would improve in 1990 when a large number of the major manufacturers exited the series, leaving Spice to be able to take fourth place in the championship, ahead of the various private Porsche outfits and the factory Toyota squad.
In 1991, Spice chose to concentrate on the IMSA GT Championship. However Euro Racing achieved a string of good results in the 1991 WSC with a Spice SE90C, including four fourth places, helping the team to fourth in the teams championship whilst drivers Cor Euser and Charles Zwolsman finished fifth and sixth in the drivers standings. In addition another Spice had the distinction of being the only C1 class car to be a classified finisher in the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. The following year saw Chamberlain Engineering successfully campaigning a Spice SE89C in the declining WSC - the team consistently scored points, including a third place at the 1992 500km of Silverstone and finished fourth in the championship, whilst their lead driver Ferdinand de Lesseps finished seventh in the drivers championship. Chamberlain also dominated the FIA Cup, with de Lesseps winning all six rounds.
Following the collapse of the GTP class in IMSA at the end of 1993, Spice was active in creating update and modification kits to allow existing chassis to be updated to the then-new IMSA WSC specification.

## Constructor history {#constructor_history}
Following Spice\'s initial work on the Tiga GC85, Gordon Spice decided to build his own chassis, not only for the C2 class in the World Sportscar Championship, but also for the Lights class in IMSA GT. He received engineering input from General Motors for the IMSA effort, using Pontiac engines in place of the Ford Cosworths. The first design by the team was the SE86, which the SE standing for Spice Engineering, and 86 for the year of its construction, 1986. This numbering scheme would be used by nearly all Spice chassis.
After having considerable success with their smaller chassis, Spice made the move to the larger C1 and GTP classes with the SE89. This would be replaced by the successful SE90 the following year, of which Spice built near 30 chassis of that design or similar over several years. Many privateers bought the SE90s, winning various championships. Spice would also end its relationship with General Motors, instead becoming the factory squad for Honda, running Acura engines in SE90-based chassis, winning the Camel lights for Honda in 1991, 1992 and 1993. In 1990 Gordon Spice and Ray Bellm sold their interests in Spice Engineering to Jean Louis Ricci, a Spice customer.
By 1992, Spice began to develop newer designs to replace their older chassis, but the company would soon hit financial troubles before multiple cars could be built. Spice\'s final GTP chassis was finished in 1993, at which time the GTP and GT Lights Championships had been canceled and IMSA was adopting a new set of rules for open-cockpit sportscars in 1994. Spice built at least three new chassis for the IMSA WSC championship with new suspension and bodywork. In 1994 Spice won the manufacturers championship with Oldsmobile beating Ferrari. Spice also made available a kit to convert existing Group C and IMSA chassis to the new WSC regulations and some teams took up this option, with some opting to carry out their own conversion and development work, without factory assistance. Some of these heavily modified designs would still be racing competitively until 1999.
During Spice\'s stint as the factory Pontiac team, they also constructed several Pontiac Fiero race cars for the IMSA GTO and GTU classes, having some mixed success. These would be the only Spices based on production cars instead of purpose-built sports cars.

## Later projects and demise {#later_projects_and_demise}
Following the collapse of the major sportscar championships in the early 1990s, Spice won the Manufacturers Championship for Oldsmobile in 1994. Spice planned to build its own road cars and race them in the newer GT championships. The company also announced ambitious plans to create a Formula One team in their new headquarters in Australia. However, the plan never got off the ground and Spice soon closed.
## Successes
Both as a team and as a constructor, Spice had considerable success during their racing career through the 1980s and into the 1990s

# Achille Maffre de Baugé
**Achille Maffre de Baugé** (16 March 1855 -- 1 July 1928) was an Occitan poet and writer, a native of Marseillan in the French *département* of l\'Hérault.
A friend of Nobel Prize winner Frédéric Mistral, he is best known for *Dièzes et Bémols* (1873) (his first collection of verse) and *Terre d\'Oc* (1908). He was a collaborator on the monthly review magazine *Chimère*, of which twenty issues appeared, a large number of which are now lost.
On the front of the Marseillan house in which he was born there is a portrait of de Baugé and a stone plaque with an extract from his poem *Marseillan* (from *Terre d\'Oc*) glorifying his village:
:
: *Poussière de soldats, cendre de troubadours,*
: *Pendant mille ans notre âme en ta glèbe est entrée,*
: *Tes roses sont mes sœurs, et tes vignes dorées*
: *Du sang dont bat mon cœur se gonfleront toujours*
A primary school in Marseillan has been named \"Maffre de Baugé\" in his honour as well as a street in the town.
His grandson is the writer and member of the European Parliament (1979 to 1989), Emmanuel Maffre-Baugé (1921 to 2007).

# World Ship Society
The **World Ship Society** (**WSS**) is an international society devoted to maritime and naval history. Founded in 1946 as **Ship News Club** in order to distribute shipping information to correspondents, the society now has thousands of members in dozens of branches across the world. It publishes the monthly magazine *Marine News* and the quarterly magazine *Warships* for its membership.
## History
In 1946 Michael Crowdy started a mailing list in the United Kingdom. In order to share a growing amount of information regarding ships, Crowdy founded the Ships News Club and published two news lists covering all ships in alphabetical order. These two lists, published in 1947, are acknowledged by the WSS to be the first two editions of the *Marine News*.
From 50 Correspondents at the start of 1947, by the end of the year members of the Ship News Club numbered 200 and 330 in July 1948. Notable amongst its early members were the then editor of Jane\'s Fighting Ships, Francis McMurtrie, and former editor and noted naval historian Oscar Parkes. By February, 1949 there were members across Europe and as far away as New Zealand.
The club\'s first annual general meeting was held on 23 September 1949 aboard `{{HMS|Wellington|U65|6}}`{=mediawiki} in London. There it was resolved to change the name of the club to **World Ship Society**.
## Present
The society now has 50 branches throughout the world which actively promote historical research. Staffed by volunteers the society maintains a Central Record and Photo Libraries, as well as a library and reading room in Chatham, Kent. As well as its magazine publications, \"Marine News\" and \"Warships\", the society has published many well-regarded books by members. The standard of research material available to members has given the society a reputation for excellence throughout the maritime community.

## History
On 2 February 1962, National Liberation Front of South Vietnam set up Liberation Radio in South-controlled territory, and conducted its first airing with the title \"This is Liberation Radio, the voice of the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam*\".*
Due to the fierce war effort, Liberation Radio was relocated around several provinces before being stationed in Hanoi, and was operating under the alias \"Viz 1080 Ministry of General Staff, C55 and CP90\". For the duration of the war, this station maintained broadcasting for 10 hours a day in 5 languages: Vietnamese, French, English, Chinese and Khmer.
Following the Liberation of Saigon on 30 April 1975, Liberation Radio took over the base of Radio Vietnam, which was operated by the Government of Republic Of Vietnam. Under the Central Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Liberation Radio changed its name to Liberation Saigon Radio.
On 1 September 1976, Liberation Saigon Radio was renamed Voice of Ho Chi Minh City\'s People

# Émile Zurlinden
**Émile Auguste François Thomas Zurlinden** (3 November 1837 -- 9 March 1929) was a French Army general and politician. An Alsatian by birth, he distinguished himself on the battlefield during the Franco-Prussian War, and participated in the suppression of the Paris Commune. He was Minister of War twice, in 1895 and again in 1898, during which he was involved with the Dreyfus affair.
## Life and military career {#life_and_military_career}
Zurlinden was born in Colmar, Haut-Rhin, the son of Michel Thiébaut Zurlinden and Joséphine Albertine Eugénie Baumann. He studied at the Collège de Colmar, the École polytechnique, the École d'application de l'artillerie in Metz, and the Saumur Cavalry School.
Promoted to captain in 1866, he distinguished himself during the Franco-Prussian War, fighting in the battles of Borny, Rezonville, Saint-Privat-la-Montagne et Sainte-Barbe. Made a prisoner of war, he refused parole and was imprisoned in a fortress in Silesia, from which he escaped, offering his services to Gambetta\'s Government of National Defense. He was promoted to général de brigade in 1886 and général de division in 1890. In 1898, he was appointed military governor of Paris and joined the Conseil supérieur de la guerre.
## Political career {#political_career}
In January 1895, Zurlinden became Minister of War in Alexandre Ribot\'s government. He was deeply involved with the Dreyfus affair, and pursued the anti-Dreyfusard policies of his predecessor, Auguste Mercier. Keen to limit Dreyfus\' communications with the outside world, he had the Chamber pass the Law of 9 February 1895, adding the Îles du Salut as a place of deportation. He resigned with the rest of the government the same year over the Second Madagascar expedition, for which he had responsibility.
In 1898, he once again served as Minister of War, in Henri Brisson\'s second government, following the resignation of Godefroy Cavaignac. Zurlinden recommended against the reexamination of the Dreyfus case. When the government decided, in spite of his advice, to appoint a commission to examine the matter, he resigned for the second time, to be succeeded by Charles Chanoine. Returning to his post of military governor of Paris, he undertook to prosecute Lieutenant-Colonel Georges Picquart on an allegation of forgery. He was replaced as military governor in 1899 by the Waldeck-Rousseau government and the new Minister of War, Gaston de Galliffet.
Remaining a member of the Conseil supérieur de la guerre, Zurlinden retired from active service in 1902, still convinced of Dreyfus\' guilt. After his retirement, he published a book on Napoleon\'s marshals, as well his memoirs. He stood for election to the Chamber of Deputies in 1906, but was defeated by the incumbent, Charles Schneider. He died in Paris in 1929.
He was closely involved in the Resolution of the Dreyfus affair.
He was cross-eyed.
## Assessments
No military honours were paid at his funeral, and no street is named after him in either Paris or Alsace, which Jean-Marie Schmitt attributes to his role in the Dreyfus affair.
Jean-Denis Bredin describes him as \"a handsome man of impeccable reputation and an admirable horseman\".
According to Joseph Jacobs, \"he was an honest soldier, but narrow-minded;\" insults in the press \"did not fail to affect him\"

In college, Williams competed for the Cal State Los Angeles Golden Eagles track and field team and the Michigan State Spartans.
## 1980 Olympics
Williams qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team but was unable to compete due to the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott. In 2007 she did receive one of 461 Congressional Gold Medals created especially for the spurned athletes.
## World Athletics Championships {#world_athletics_championships}
Her best performances came in the first two World Athletics Championships in 1983 and 1987. In Helsinki in 1983 she was a Bronze medallist over 100 m. In 1987, she was fourth over 100 m and won gold as part of the 4 × 100 relay team, their winning time of 41.58 CBP secs is still one of the fastest in history. In 1988, she was 2nd to Florence Griffith Joyner\'s world record time of 10.49 in the 100 m.

Diane has admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs during her career in the era preceding random out-of-competition testing. However, she managed to compete without the use of drugs through the 1987 season and ran faster than ever. She now tours schools where she relates her abuse of steroids and the struggle to regain her health in the aftermath of her career. An autobiography, *True to Me*, was published a few years ago which chronicles the aforementioned battle to perform clean at the highest level.

# David Sears (racing driver)
**David John Charles Sears** (born 9 December 1955) is a British former racing driver and son of touring car legend Jack Sears.
## Biography
The Sears dynasty has been involved in motor racing for nearly 100 years and four generations. David won two British Formula Ford Championships in 1979 and then raced in Formula 3 against Nigel Mansell and Stefan Johansson with much success. Sears was asked to test for Lotus in Formula One but ultimately Nigel Mansell got the drive and Sears switched to racing touring cars for Ford, Toyota and Jaguar in the European Touring Car Championship. He then raced for Toyota in Japan in Group C and Pontiac in the USA. In 1989 Sears raced for Aston Martin in the World Sports Car Championship and Le Mans. In 1990 Sears finished third at Le Mans in a Porsche 962 with Tiff Needell and Anthony Reid.
Sears had started his own racing team in 1987 and in 1992 he stopped racing to concentrate on his racing team and other business activities. His racing teams under David Sears Motorsport and Super Nova have won 16 Championships in 26 years and produced more than 20 Formula One drivers, including Jan Magnussen, Taki Inoue, Ricardo Zonta, Juan Pablo Montoya, Mark Webber and Sebastian Bourdais. Sears has also managed several of these drivers.
Sears is the great-grandson of John Sears who founded Sears Holdings, the boot and shoe empire in Northampton. John Sears was the first person to establish chain shops throughout Great Britain. He died aged 46 owning two shoe factories and over 900 freehold shops. With no tax planning and tax at 98% the family lost the business to Charles Clore in one of the biggest corporate takeovers at the time. The remnants of that empire and some of the best prime retail sites in Great Britain are now owned by Philip Green and his company Arcadia for Topshop and BHS.
David Sears may have inherited some business acumen from his ancestors and helped Nova Group in Japan develop their language school business to be placed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In fact they were business partners for 14 years with the Super Nova Racing Team.
Sears has also been involved as a director of Thunderball, a mining company in West Africa and more recently has helped Dr. Doug Linman create the MQ Corporation in the US and UK to launch Solar Liquid Power as a new form of green energy.

# Ben Rohrer
**Ben Rohrer** (born 26 March 1981) is an Australian former cricketer who played for the New South Wales in Australian domestic cricket from 2007 to 2016 and various Twenty20 teams in the Big Bash League. Rohrer had a breakout season in the 2012--13 Big Bash League season, which resulted in his selection for the Australian national cricket team in a Twenty20 International and a contract with the Delhi Daredevils in the 2013 Indian Premier League. Rohrer retired from cricket in 2018 and took up a coaching role with Tasmania.
## Cricket career {#cricket_career}
### Early career {#early_career}
Rohrer made his first-class debut for New South Wales (NSW) against Tasmania in March 2007 and scored a century in his debut. Rohrer shone in the Twenty20 format, where he helped NSW win the 2008--09 KFC Twenty20 Big Bash. In the tournament final, he scored a very fast 44 runs from 20 balls to help NSW recover from 4 for 92, and took the game to the last delivery where NSW needed one run for victory. Rohrer was unable to hit the ball, but he and Daniel Smith ran a bye to win.
As the winners of the domestic Twenty20 competition, Rohrer took part in the Blues charge towards victory in the inaugural Twenty20 Champions League. In the first game, a victory against South Africa\'s Diamond Eagles, Rohrer hit an unbeaten 22 runs off 15 balls including 2 fours and a six. Rohrer scored 19 runs off 11 balls in the semi-final against Victoria which NSW to put them into the final against Trinidad and Tobago who beat NSW earlier in the tournament. In the final NSW batted first and lost quick wickets for very few runs before Rohrer came in at number five and began the NSW revival with a 6 over fine leg before getting out for 16 runs off 12 balls. NSW won the tournament.
### 2012--13 season
In February 2013, the Australian national cricket team was scheduled to play a T20I match against the West Indies at the same time as their Test squad was training for a series in India. The overlap made several of Australia\'s T20I players unavailable. Rohrer was selected to join the team to help fill in the gaps because he had had a very successful time playing for the Melbourne Renegades in the 2012--13 Big Bash League season. Rohrer scored 16 runs in the match, his Twenty20 International debut, then never played for Australia again.
The Delhi Daredevils signed Rohrer for the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL) as a replacement for Varun Aaron, who was unavailable due to injury. Following the IPL, he also joined the Antigua Hawksbills for the 2013 Caribbean Premier League, replacing Steve Smith when Smith was unable to get clearance to play in the competition from Cricket Australia.
### Later career {#later_career}
Rohrer suffered a heavy knock to his head from a cricket ball while playing for New South Wales against Victoria in November 2014. During 2014, Cricket NSW entered into a deal to provide a new helmet design for batsmen which provided extra protection for the sides and rear of the batsman\'s head. Rohrer requested one of these helmets, but it did not arrive before the start of the season. In a November match against Victoria, Rohrer was struck on the head by a bouncer bowled by Chris Tremain. If Rohrer had been wearing the new helmet design, he would have had extra protection from the ball. Rohrer had to be driven from the field on a motorised stretcher, and at hospital was diagnosed with a concussion that lasted for several weeks. He was still recovering from the blow later in the month when his former teammate Phillip Hughes was struck and killed in a similar incident.
In August 2017, New South Wales announced that Rohrer would not be given a contract to play for the state in the 2017--18 season, though he still played for the local Sydney Thunder during the 2017--18 Big Bash League season. Rohrer instead moved to Tasmania and took up a role as their state\'s talent manager.
In August 2018, Rohrer announced his retirement from all forms of cricket to take up a coaching role in Tasmania
