**Mid Antrim** was a constituency of the Northern Ireland House of Commons.
The *House of Commons (Method of Voting and Redistribution of Seats) Act (Northern Ireland), 1929* introduced first-past-the-post elections for 48 single-member constituencies (including *Antrim Mid*).
It was a single-member division of County Antrim represented in the Parliament of Northern Ireland. Before 1929, it was part of the seven-member Antrim constituency. The constituency sent one MP to the House of Commons of Northern Ireland from 1929 until the Parliament was temporarily suspended in 1972, and then formally abolished in 1973.
In terms of the then local government areas the constituency in 1929 comprised parts of the rural districts of Ballymena, Ballymoney and Larne. The division also included the whole of the urban district of Ballymena

Cinematographer Adelqui Camusso was hired to shoot the film. Víctor Proncet composed the soundtrack, while the editing was done by Oscar Pariso.
## Reception
The film was shot in 1975 but because the content and actors were not to the liking of the military government at the time, the film was censored and blocked from release. It didn\'t reach cinemas in Buenos Aires until 26 May 1983. The film was critically acclaimed upon release, with Daniel López in *La Voz del Interior* labelling it \"Kordon and David\'s remarkable speech on despotism\". Hugo Paredero in *Humor* described the actors as \"very talented, all deserving\", surmising that they must have had \"inner drama\" to be so convincing to the camera. Jorge Miguel Couselo in Clarín described it as a \"compelling movie\" and stated that there are \"no decorations\". In their 2001 book *Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930-1995)*, Raúl Manrupe and María Alejandra Portela were less favorable, writing: \"Rural matriarchy, rustic beings and critical intention against authoritarianism, in a rather static and outdated realization\"

# David Littmann
**David Littmann** (July 28, 1906 -- January 1, 1981) was an American cardiologist and Harvard Medical School professor and researcher. The name Littmann is well known in the medical field for the patented *Littmann Stethoscope* reputed for its acoustic performances for auscultation.
Littman was born on July 28, 1906 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. His parents, Isaac Litman and Sadie Zewat Litman, were Ukrainian immigrants from Novgorod.
With Gustev Machlup, Dr. David Littmann founded Cardiosonics, Inc*.* to sell his stethoscopes. At that time the stethoscope line consisted of two key models, the doctor\'s stethoscope and the nurse\'s stethoscope.
3M acquired the stethoscope company on April 1, 1967, and hired Dr. Littmann as a consultant. 3M currently produces the range of Littmann brand stethoscopes.
The 1960s-era *Littman Cardiology 3* stethoscope, which is out of patent, became the basis of a 3D-printed stethoscope developed by Dr. Tarek Loubani and a team of medical and technology specialists as part of the open source Glia project.
Dr. Littmann\'s son was jazz drummer Peter Littman (1935-1985)

# William Arbuckle Reid
**William Arbuckle** \"**Bill**\" **Reid** (1933 -- 2 September 2015) was a British curriculum theorist.
Born in Gloucestershire, Reid obtained his BA degree in languages from Cambridge University, after which he taught in English high schools. He went on to conduct curriculum research at the University of Birmingham, where he obtained his PhD and subsequently taught MEd students. He took early retirement from the University of Birmingham in 1988 and was appointed as a visiting professor at the London Institute of Education, and subsequently the University of Texas, Austin. He also undertook collaborative projects with colleagues at the University of Oslo and taught summer schools at the University of Victoria, British Columbia. Some of his reminiscences were published in 2009 in \"Leaders in Curriculum Studies\", edited by E.C. Short and Leonard J. Waks (Sense Publishers, Rotterdam, 2009). In retirement he self-published pamphlets and books concerning archaeology and other local history in his native Cotswold landscape, as well as memoirs, articles on chess, books of poems and a novel. A series of articles published in \"[Glevensis](http://www.glosarch.org.uk/glevensis.html)\", a journal of the Gloucestershire Archaeological Society were formed into a self-published book (Chantry Press; Windmill Print and Graphics) entitled \"From Roman to Saxon in a Cotswold Landscape\" (2006).
Reid\'s major academic works elaborated on curriculum theorist Joseph Schwab\'s notion of \"curriculum deliberation\". He was the author of numerous scholarly articles and several books, and was a regular contributor to the Journal of Curriculum Studies of which he was European Editor from 1975 to 1983 and General Editor from 1986 until the mid-1990s. He regularly presented papers at the annual meetings of the American Education Research Association. Reid had a penetrating grasp of the nature of learning and a deep understanding of the link between theory and classroom realities - an approach both philosophical and practical. Few writers in the field combined his intellectual edge with a solid perspective on teaching and a readiness to address complex issues. In 2007 his article \"Strange Curricula: Origins and Development of the Institutional Categories of Schooling\" (JCS 22, 203 (1990)) was selected as one of the seminal articles that had appeared in the Journal of Curriculum Studies in the previous 25 years.
In 2014 Reid moved to Nottingham to be close to his family and he died there in September 2015.

# Ebe Gilkes Quartet
The **Ebe Gilkes Quartet** was a Guyanese band that became very popular on Barbados in the 1950s, led by Trinidadian jazz pianist **Edwin \"Ebe\" Gilkes**.
**Other members:**
- James Gilkes
- Jesus Gilkes
- Gilkes Gilkes
- Arturo Tappin
## History
In the 1950s, low wages for jazz musicians led to many Barbadians immigrating abroad to Canada, US, or the UK. Additionally, travel between British Commonwealth countries encouraged movement between countries of the Caribbean, so clubs and hotels in Barbados were bringing in acts from neighboring countries such as Guyana. Gilkes was a part of the Billy Green Quartet that played in the Coconut Creek Nightclub in Barbados, and by the end of the decade he was the only one to remain in Barbados.
By the 1960s, he played at the Bel Air Nightclub in Bridgetown, a venue that was a part of the middle-class nightlife, playing contemporary jazz and bossa nova. Through the 1960s and 1970s, support for jazz was mainly by foreign tourists, and he played in venues such as the Blue Water Beach Hotel and freelanced in other hotels, playing music for dance and floorshows.
Arturo Tappin, a Barbadian saxophonist who was a sideman in the Ebe Gilkes\' Band in the early 1980s, went to the US to study jazz formally, and contributed to the jazz scene in Barbados taking a major role in the formation of the International Barbados/Caribbean Jazz Festival. Gilkes played with Bim in the late 1980s as well as other festivals.
In 1989, the After Dark Club was opened and featured nightly performances by the Ebe Gilkes Trio. Their style was considered \"modern instrumental\".
## Legacy
Ebe Gilkes was honored in 2012 at the Naniki Caribbean Jazz Safari by two Barbadian chief justices; David Simmons and Marston Gibson

# Julien Leparoux
**Julien R. Leparoux** (born July 15, 1983 in Senlis, Oise, France) is a French Eclipse Award winning jockey currently racing in the United States. He has won seven Breeders\' Cup races, including the 2015 Breeders\' Cup Mile with Champion Turf Mare Tepin and the 2016 Breeders\' Cup Juvenile with Classic Empire.
## Background
Leparoux grew up in a racing family, the son of Robert Leparoux, a jockey turned assistant trainer. He worked at the Chantilly Racecourse as a stable hand and in January 2003 emigrated to California to work as an exercise rider for fellow Frenchman, trainer Patrick Biancone. In 2005, he became an apprentice jockey.
Leparoux is known as a finesse rider. \"I just try not to fight so much with my horses,\" he said in a 2012 interview. \"I try to be gentle around their mouths.\"
### Family
In December 2012, Julien married Shea Mitchell who, like Julien, is the child of a racehorse trainer. During one of the races that Shea attended, Julien fell off and broke his hand. Later that week, Shea tweeted at Julien a simple \"I hope you\'re ok\". Not long after, they got married. Shea tweeted a picture of Julien and her father with the caption \"2007, when Julien rode On the Acorn for dad. He probably never guessed he was looking @ his future son in law\". On September 24, 2015, their first son, Mitchell Leparoux, was born. At only 4 days old, Mitchell was out at Keeneland watching his dad warm up horses in the early morning and racing during the day!

## Racing career {#racing_career}
Leparoux embarked on his professional riding career in the summer of 2005 at Saratoga Race Course where he earned his first win on July 26 on Easter Guardian. He finished the Saratoga meet with 28 wins, the most in track history by an apprentice. In 2006 he was also the leading winning jockey during the Turfway Park winter/spring meet, Churchill Downs spring/summer meet, and Keeneland Race Course spring meet (where he tied with Rafael Bejarano).
For 2006, Julien Leparoux won 403 races to lead all jockeys in the United States. His total wins and earnings of \$12,491,316 for the year were the most by an apprentice jockey in racing history. He was voted the 2006 Eclipse Award for Outstanding Apprentice Jockey. He was also the subject of the Eclipse Award-winning photograph, which showed him being unseated when the filly Sanibel Storm ducked into the rail in the stretch at Keeneland. Leparoux somersaulted over her head and landed in the infield: both he and the filly were unhurt.
Leparoux \"lost the bug\" in September 2006, referring to the five-pound weight allowance an apprentice (bug) jockey is given. Despite this, Leparoux continued winning riding titles, including Turfway\'s winter/spring meet, Keeneland\'s spring meet and Churchill Downs\' spring/summer meet. On June 27, 2007, Leparoux became only the fifth jockey in the 133-year history of Churchill Downs to ride six winners on a single card.
On November 11, 2008 he rode seven winners on a single racecard at Churchill Downs, tying a twenty-four-year-old record set by Pat Day on June 20, 1984. Leparoux had a career best year in 2009, capped by wins in the Breeders\' Cup Dirt Mile on Furthest Land, the Filly & Mare Sprint on Informed Decision and the Juvenile Fillies on She Be Wild. He won the Shoemaker Award as the winningest jockey at the 2009 Breeders\' Cup, being only the 2nd jockey in history to win three Breeders\' Cup races in a single year, following Garrett Gomez. He led the North American earnings list and received the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Jockey in 2009. He was only the fourth jockey to win Eclipse Awards as both an apprentice and journeyman.
In 2012, Leparoux decided to switch from the Kentucky circuit (Churchill Downs, Keeneland and Turfway Park) to New York, then moved to California to be closer to his then-fiancée\'s family. At the end of 2013, now married, he moved back to Kentucky. \"I wanted to come back here for my career, the same routine I was used to,\" explained Leparoux. \"I\'m still young where I want to be at the top and ride a lot of races and try to win as much as I can\... And we want to start a family, and I think Kentucky is a great place. It requires a lot of moving around for a family, but a lot of jockeys do it.\"
Leparoux had one of his best chances to win the Kentucky Derby in 2012 with the talented colt Union Rags but could only finish seventh after a troubled trip. Leparoux told the horse\'s trainer that he had heard a pop (indicative of a possible injury) with three-eighths of a mile remaining in the race, but no problem was found the day after. The trainer called the race a disaster and replaced Leparoux for the Belmont Stakes with John Velazquez. Union Rags won the Belmont but never raced again due to an injury to his suspensory ligament.
The highlights of 2016 included several notable wins on Tepin, including the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. Leparoux was also invited to ride Sir Dudley Digges in Canada\'s most prestigious event, the Queen\'s Plate at Woodbine racetrack on July 3. He rode in 11 races at Churchill Downs the day before the race, then flew to Toronto with only a few hours of sleep and won at odds of 16-1. Leparoux rode Classic Empire to victory in the Breeders\' Cup Juvenile.
### Keeneland statistics {#keeneland_statistics}
Leparoux is a regular rider at the Keeneland spring and fall race meetings and has achieved a number of milestones at the track. `{{As of|April 2016}}`{=mediawiki}, he has:
- Tied for fourth by stakes wins (52) and fifth by total wins (403).

# Barton Academy (Vermont)
**Barton Academy** was a high school in the town of Barton and also served surrounding towns for over a century. The high school (the Academy) was replaced by the Lake Region High School on September 11, 1967. The Academy alumni continue to meet annually. They fund scholarships for graduates of Lake Region. The building also housed the town\'s grammar school.
## History
The Academy started in the fall of 1852 in a building on the location now occupied by the school parking lot. There is an early list of students who were enrolled. It was chartered by the legislature in 1854.
A listing of graduates from 1926, lists the first class as 1886.
The cornerstone of the current building is marked \"1907.\" the project was the biggest building project, the town had ever seen. It cost \$42,000. An Indian burial ground was discovered during the excavation. There is no record of what happened to those artifacts. The former school was moved across the street in 1909 and later used as a gymnasium and cafeteria. It was torn down in 1980.
In the early 1900s, Barton Academy ranked eighth among all high schools, public and private, in Vermont.
The Academy closed in 1967, replaced by the Lake Region Union High School. The former building, with the name, \"Barton Academy and Graded School\", carved on a 4.5 ST granite slab over the entryway, is used as an elementary school.
An addition was completed in 1979.
## Architecture
Architectural historians Glenn Andres and Curtis Johnson commented that the school had a \"finely proportioned central pavilion with quoina and a broken pediment, and a Palladian porch that screens a recessed entrance..\" and \"There is a finesse and logic to the composition that makes this village school more than a pastiche of derivative details, perhaps indicative of industrial Barton\'s commercial ties to major centers of taste.\"
## Principals
1. Benjamin Hinman Steele, briefly when he was 20 in 1853 or so, a young graduate of Dartmouth and simultaneously studying for the law at the same time! Went on to become a judge on the Vermont Supreme Court and died at the age of 37

# Organized crime in Minneapolis
**Organized crime in Minneapolis** refers to the illegal activity of the early 20th century in Minneapolis. This issue was first brought to public attention by Lincoln Steffens in the book *The Shame of the Cities* which chronicles the widespread corruption in major political parties in the 19th century and the continued efforts to fix this ongoing issue. A. A. Ames was a notable figure who was exposed due to this book, as he and the Minneapolis police force were caught dealing with illegal businesses syndicates. In 1902, Ames fled to Indiana and resigned as mayor on the 6th September.
In his memoir *Augie\'s Secrets*, Twin Cities journalist Neal Karlen concedes that the power temporarily wielded in Minneapolis by Jewish-American organized crime figures like Kid Cann and David Berman beginning in the Prohibition-era gave a major boost to local anti-Semitism, for which Minneapolis became infamous nationwide. Karlen further argues, however, that the pervasive criminality during Mayor Ames\' last term demonstrates that the city of Minneapolis was even more corrupt when Scandinavians and White Anglo-Saxon Protestants were still running it

# Williston station
**Williston station** is a train station in Williston, North Dakota, served by Amtrak\'s *Empire Builder* line. The brick station was built in 1910 by the Great Northern Railway and is located at the southern end of Williston\'s downtown. An interior and exterior restoration, begun in 2010 and costing almost \$2 million, has returned the station to its original look.
With the opening of the Bakken oil fields in the 21st century, many oil production workers now also board and detrain in Williston, adding additional passengers to the route. Many workers from as far as the Pacific Northwest opt to travel to their jobs via the station rather than fly or take the bus. Amtrak conductors frequently let passengers use Williston as an unofficial smoke break or fresh air stop, partly due to delays caused by the sheer volume of passengers boarding and alighting at the station.
Ridership at the station had a particular spike in Amtrak\'s 2012 fiscal year, when ridership grew by almost 82 percent to 54,324 from 29,920 the year before (though 2011 ridership had been partly degraded due to flooding along the route). This patronage continued even in the wake of terrible delays that plagued the *Empire Builder* for much of 2013 and 2014 due to increased freight traffic related to the Bakken boom.
As of fiscal year 2018, Williston is North Dakota\'s second busiest Amtrak station, behind Minot

# Acrimony (band)
**Acrimony** was a Welsh heavy metal band from Swansea who was active during the 1990s. Releasing their debut album in 1994, they are regarded as the pioneers of stoner metal in the United Kingdom, and an important influence upon the scene.
## Career
Although the band never achieved mainstream success, during their career they received much critical acclaim -- they were nominated for the *Kerrang!* Best Newcomer award and earned top review ratings. Acrimony have maintained a cult following in the British metal scene, their records reportedly selling for vast sums as collectors\' items. AllMusic described their musical style as a \"powerful blend of Black Sabbath's heavy metal riffery, Hawkwind\'s space rock excursions, and Blue Cheer\'s fuzzed-out psychedelic feedback.\" In 2019, *Kerrang!* listed Acrimony as part of \"20 bands who didn\'t get the respect they deserved\".
## Post split {#post_split}
Since their split in 1999, Stu O\'Hara went on to play guitar in Iron Monkey before the outfit disbanded, then he went on to form the Dukes of Nothing with other ex-Iron Monkey members and members of Orange Goblin. Lee \'Roy\' went on to form Swansea-based crust, power violence six-piece Black Eye Riot along with Stu and Dorian. Darren and Mead formed the 9ine, and Mead has his own trance project Yeti. Lee \'Roy\' Davies now plays in the heavy metal band Lifer. In 2008 Stu, Mead, Darren and Dorian re-grouped and wrote tracks as Sigiriya, releasing an album called *Return to Earth* in 2011. A change of vocalist came in Matt \"Pipes\" Williams for 2013 release *Darkness Died Today*. Lee \'Roy\' formed Woven Man and released their debut album entitled *Revelry (In Our Arms)* in January 2019.
In November 2019, Acrimony\'s three albums, *Hymns to the Stone*, *Tumuli Shroomaroom* and *Bong On - Live Long!* were reissued in 3CD digipack and remastered edition by the Dutch music label Burning World Records

# Greater Western Victoria Rebels
The **Greater Western Victoria Rebels** is an Australian rules football club which plays in the Talent League, the statewide under-18s competition in Victoria, Australia.
They recruit players from the Ballarat, Wimmera and South West Victorian regions, including from Warrnambool, Hamilton, and Horsham.
Initially known as the **Ballarat Rebels** and wearing green and gold, the team was established in 1993 as one of four regional under-18s clubs, set up as part of a plan by the AFL Commission to have clubs set in all regions of the state of Victoria. The club became affiliated with the new VFL\'s North Ballarat Football Club in 1996, and changed its name to **North Ballarat Rebels** and its colours to black and white to reflect this. In January 2017, the club again changed its name to Greater Western Victoria Rebels to reflect their expanded recruitment zone.
This was to help aid in player development and the process of the AFL draft, which allows U18 players the opportunity to be selected by AFL clubs.
Greater Western Victoria has produced many notable AFL players including Adam Goodes, Drew Petrie, Troy Chaplin, Jed Adcock, Tim Notting, Shannon Watt, James Walker and Shane O\'Bree

# Atocha station memorial
The **Atocha station memorial** is a memorial monument located at Atocha station in Madrid, Spain, that commemorates the 193 victims of the 11 March 2004 Madrid train bombings. Furthermore, it also honors the special forces agent who died when seven suicide bombers blew themselves up on 3 April 2004 during a raid on an apartment used by the bombers.
The 11 m tall cylinder stands above Atocha station, the destination of the four trains that were attacked. Texts composed of hundreds of expressions of grief sent in the days after the attack from all over the world are printed on a clear colourless membrane that is inflated by air pressure, rising balloon-like inside a cylinder. That structure is composed of glass blocks and sits on a platform or terrace overhead. The light in the empty blue room below comes from this source alone. At night the cylinder is illuminated by lamps within its base and can be seen throughout the station neighborhood.
King Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia and Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero attended a ceremony at the site on the third anniversary of the bombings, 11 March 2007. Wreaths were laid at the foot of the tower and mourners observed three minutes of silence

# William Hauptman
**William Hauptman** (born 1942) is an American writer. Born in Texas, he received a BFA from the University of Texas Drama Department and later traveled to San Francisco and New York. A graduate who received an MFA from the Yale School of Drama, he is the author of plays and fiction.
## Career
His various plays include: *Shearwater* (American Place Theater) (1974) *Heat* (The Public Theater) (1974) And *Domino Courts and Comanche Cafe* (1976) at the American Place Theatre which won a Village Voice Obie Award (1977).
*Big River* (1985), his adaptation of Mark Twain\'s *Huckleberry Finn*, written in collaboration with composer Roger Miller, won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical when it opened on Broadway. It has proven very popular in stock and amateur theatrical productions. Hauptman joined the project after being approached by former Yale classmate Rocco Landesman.
Hauptman is also a writer of fiction. His first published story, *Good Rockin\' Tonight*, about an Elvis impersonator, made The Best American Short Stories Collection of 1982. Later, Hauptman wrote a screenplay of this story for 20th Century Fox, going on to write several other screenplays for the studios, including Amblin Entertainment and Merchant Ivory Productions.
Bantam published his collection of short stories, including *Good Rockin\' Tonight and Other Stories* (1988). Larry McMurtry gave him this quote: \"William Hauptman, for my money, is the most promising young fiction writers to come out of the Southwest in a long time.\" This collection won the Jesse Jones Award for Best Work of Fiction given by the Texas Institute of Letters in 1989, along with an award for Best Short Story, which was given to *Moon Walking*.
In 1992, Bantam published his novel about tornado-chasers *The Storm Season*, which was later reprinted by the University of Texas Press. This novel was praised by Carolyn See in the Los Angeles Times, who said, \"Storm Season is about family, the working class, the crimes human beings have committed against the land, and the hypnotic, redemptive quality of disaster\--why human beings enjoy being scared out of their wits. It\'s spooky, beautiful, bizarre.\"
His most recent novel, about his experiences in the 60s, is called *Journey to the West* (2017) which has been described by James Magnuson, director of the Michener Center at the University of Texas as \"by turns hilarious, sweet, and harrowing\...It deserves to be a classic.\"
Big River was also produced by the Deaf West Company in both Los Angeles (2002) and New York, (2003) at the American Airlines Theater, and received a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. Big River was also produced as part of the Encores Series at City Center Theater in New York in 2017. Program Notes: From Playbill of Encores Production of Big River, 2016: \"It was a time when everybody played by the rules of Satchel Paige: Don\'t worry about the things you can\'t do nothing about, dance like nobody\'s watching, and love like you can\'t get hurt.\"
He has also contributed articles to The Atlantic Monthly, Texas Monthly, and The New York Times Sunday Magazine. Teaching Experience---Yale School of Drama; the Michener Center for writers at the University of Texas in Austin; and Brooklyn College.

# Rhosgoch
**Rhosgoch** (`{{pronunciation|Rhosgoch.ogg|Welsh pronunciation|help=no}}`{=mediawiki}; meaning: \'red moor\') is a small village in the north of the island of Anglesey, Wales, about 3.5 mi to the south-west of Amlwch. It is in the community of Rhosybol.
A short distance to the west of the village is the small lake Llyn Hafodol and a mile to the south is Anglesey\'s largest body of water the reservoir Llyn Alaw (*Water Lily Lake*).
The village once had a station on the Anglesey Central Railway. Although the tracks still exist, no train has run on them since 1993. Also connected to the railway, was a short south-west facing spur that led to an oil terminal. This was linked to a floating dock in the sea off of Amlwch, where super-tankers could dock in all tides and feed oil via Rhosgoch and a pipeline to Stanlow oil refinery. This operation lasted for 16 years between 1974 and 1990.
The first tornado of the record-breaking 1981 United Kingdom tornado outbreak, an F1/T2 tornado, touched down close to Rhosgoch at around 10:19 local time on 23 November 1981

# Dettmar Cramer
**Dettmar Cramer** (4 April 1925 -- 17 September 2015) was a German football manager who led Bayern Munich to the 1975 and 1976 European Cups. He was born in Dortmund. Cramer is commonly considered to be the father of modern football in Japan and was a member of the Order of the Sacred Treasure, 3rd Class. He coached the Egypt national football team and also briefly coached the United States national team.
## Career
Known as the \"Football Professor\", because of his attention to detail and also as \"Napoleon\" because of his diminutive 1.61 meter stature, Cramer began his career at Viktoria Dortmund and Germania Wiesbaden. The beginning of his managerial career led him to clubs such as Teutonia Lippstadt, VfL Geseke, FC Paderborn, and TuS Eving-Lindenhorst. At the turn of the year 1948--49, Cramer found himself in the service of the German Football Association (DFB) for the first time. Until 1963 he served with the designation as Head Coach for Western Germany under the DFB in Duisburg.
Little known, Cramer attempted to make the jump into a career in journalism at this point. He became lead editor for sports for West German television station ZDF. Feeling largely isolated from the football world, Cramer decided to call it quits after only six months on the job. Afterward he was sent by the DFB to Japan to serve as a football instructor.
In order to strengthen its national team ahead of the Tokyo Olympic Games four years later, the Japan Football Association had the idea in 1960 of bringing in a foreign professional coach. Cramer was ultimately selected for this role. Through Cramer\'s coaching and leadership, and the efforts of his players, the Japan national team achieved a surprise upset over Argentina at the Tokyo Olympics. The significance of this result was not lost on Cramer who saw it as a confirmation that Japanese football was vastly improving. Cramer\'s efforts were not limited to the national team, as he also formulated and implemented policies for general development. The foundation of a first national league, the training of other coaches, and the strengthening of the national team would all contribute to Japan\'s success at the Mexico City Olympics four years later, where Japan would take home the bronze medal.
On 1 January 1964, Cramer returned to West Germany to serve as an assistant to West Germany national coach Helmut Schön. In this capacity he was a part of the coaching staff at the World Cup in 1966, where West Germany lost in the final to England. His talents were highly regarded by FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association), which contracted him as a coach from 1967 to 1974 and sent him on a tour of the globe. During this time, Cramer also ran the 1st FIFA Coaching Course in Japan in 1969, and sowed the seeds for a coach training structure in Japan. Additionally, on 1 August 1974, Cramer was selected by the United States Soccer Federation to become the head coach of the United States national team.
During his time in national team service, Cramer received numerous coaching offers from West German clubs in the Bundesliga, although he consistently turned them down. Then, on 16 January 1975, he took over the reins as manager of West German giants FC Bayern Munich. At the beginning, Cramer faced heavy criticism in Munich, mostly because of his passive management style. With rumors of a sacking swirling around Cramer, he was strongly backed by team captain Franz Beckenbauer, who felt indebted to him because of his insistence that Beckenbauer be allowed to join the West Germany U19 national team after initially being banned for impregnating a girl out of wedlock; He served as best man at Beckenbauer\'s wedding in 1966.
Cramer led Bayern to victory in the 1975 and 1976 European Champions Cup, in addition to capturing the 1976 Intercontinental Cup. The 1976 Bundesliga season, however, saw Bayern unable to recapture their form and, after a season that saw them fail to defend their domestic title, Cramer was forced to resign his position. Cramer was involved in a trade between Bayern and Eintracht Frankfurt, which saw him take the top spot at Frankfurt, while Frankfurt coach Gyula Lóránt made his way to Bayern. Neither club was happy with the trade, as Bayern finished a club worst 12th in the table, while Frankfurt\'s results were mediocre at best. As a result, the club parted ways with him on 30 June 1978.
Not until the 1982--83 season did Cramer find himself employed in the Bundesliga again, this time with club Bayer Leverkusen. At Leverkusen he managed to lead the club to their first top 9 finish in the league during his second year in charge. Failure to build on that accomplishment led to his dismissal after his third season in charge. Never to coach in the Bundesliga again, Cramer instead found coaching positions with various international clubs and associations around the world. In 2002 Cramer officially announced his retirement from football. In 2005, he was inducted into the Japan Football Hall of Fame.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
Cramer served in World War II as a Senior Lieutenant with a German paratrooper division. For his international achievements, Cramer was awarded two honorary doctorates in addition to being presented with the Bundesverdienstkreuz (Federal Cross of Merit) in Germany. In 1971, Emperor Hirohito also personally presented him with membership in the Order of the Sacred Treasure for his service to Japan. Furthermore, Cramer was an honorary chieftain in the Native American Sioux and Mohican tribes. Cramer died at the age of 90 on 17 September 2015

# Stadium at Olympia
The **Stadium at Olympia** (also called the **Olympia Stadium** or the **Olympia Stadion**) is an ancient stadium at the archaeological site of Olympia, Greece, located to the east of the sanctuary of Zeus. It was the location of many of the sporting events at the Ancient Olympic Games.
## History
During the 2004 Summer Olympics, it hosted the shot put events.
## Features
The physical landmarks of the stadium are 212.54 m long and 30--34 m wide, and it served mainly for running races that determined the fastest person in the world. The track was made of hard-packed clay to serve as traction for the contestants in the running events. As in current day athletics, a white block was placed on one end of the track where the athletes would line up to place their feet and got ready to start of the race. The white block was used to align all the athletes so they would all run the same distance.

# Frequency scanning interferometry
**Frequency scanning interferometry** (**FSI**) is an absolute distance measurement technique, for measuring the distance between a pair of points, along a line-of-sight. The power of the FSI technique lies in its ability to make many such distance measurements, simultaneously.
For each distance to be measured, a measurement interferometer is built using optical components placed at each end of a line-of-sight. The optical path of each measurement interferometer is compared to the optical path in a reference interferometer, by scanning the frequency of a laser (connected to all interferometers in the system) and counting fringe cycles produced in the return signals from each interferometer.
The length of each measurement interferometer is given in units of reference length by the ratio of measurement interferometer to reference interferometer fringes.
To give an example: A frequency scan might produce 100 fringe cycles in the measurement interferometer and 50 in the reference interferometer. The measured interferometer is therefore twice the length of reference interferometer, to first order (ignoring systematic errors - see below).
## Reference interferometer precautions {#reference_interferometer_precautions}
A typical reference interferometer is held at a stable length in a controlled environment, to reduce the dominant systematic errors which arise from changes in optical path which occur during the laser frequency scan.
## Uses
The great strength of the FSI technique is the ability to simultaneously compare any number of \"measurement\" interferometers to the same reference length. This has great benefit in a shape measurement system.
An FSI system is being used to monitor shape changes of the semiconductor tracker (SCT) on the ATLAS detector at CERN.
## Precision
The measurement sensitivity depends on how rapidly the laser is tuned and how well systematic errors are controlled. Currently precisions of a few nm over a 6m path are possible in evacuated interferometers. In a system built for the ATLAS experiment a target of 1 micrometre precision over distances of 1 m is expected to be easily achieved

# Trivial Act
**Trivial Act** is a progressive metal band from Arendal, Norway. Their influences are based on progressive metal greats such as Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Queensrÿche and Voivod and traditional metal legends Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.
## History
Trivial Act was formed in 1993 by the guitarists B. Andreassen and H. Salvesen in Arendal, Norway. On October 27, 1997, they released *Mindscape* which was praised in 2006 as \"a classic release in Norwegian Metal\" by *Scream* magazine. A month later, Erik Wroldsen left the band for personal reasons and was later replaced by the drummer Stian Kristoffersen of Pagan\'s Mind. A year later, Sven Ole Heggedal left the band for the same reasons and replacing him was bass guitarist Steinar Krokmo, also of Pagan\'s Mind. A month after Steinar joined, Håkon Salvesen left the band. In 2001, they recorded a 3-song demo, *Thoughts in Lyrics*, and then temporarily broke up. After a long break, the band started recording the follow-up to *Mind Scape*. In November 2008, Kim Isaksen left and the band is currently`{{when|date=March 2012}}`{=mediawiki} searching for a new vocalist to replace him

# Juan Carlos Portantiero
**Juan Carlos Portantiero** (9 August 1934 -- 9 March 2007) was an Argentine sociologist.
He specialized in the study of the works of Antonio Gramsci. With José Aricó and other intellectuals, he was in charge of the magazine *Pasado y Presente*, which holds a critical view of Marxism.
He graduated in Sociology in University of Buenos Aires, and went into exile during the last illegal military government (1976--1983) because of threats received. He moved into Mexico, where he founded the *Controversia* journal.
After the return of democracy (1983), he became one of the most respected Argentine scholars and had a direct influence on politics as an advisor to Unión Cívica Radical president Raúl Alfonsín and member of the advising team dubbed *Grupo Esmeralda*.
He served as dean of the University of Buenos Aires Faculty of Social Sciences from 1990 to 1998.

# The Zorcerer of Zo
**The Zantabulous Zorcerer of Zo** is a fairy tale-themed independently published role-playing game created by Chad Underkoffler and published by Atomic Sock Monkey Press. The game allows players to take the role of fairy tale characters.
## System
The game uses the *Prose Descriptive Qualities* (PDQ) system --- also used in Atomic Sock Monkey Press\'s *Dead Inside*, *Truth & Justice*, and *Monkey, Ninja, Pirate, Robot*, as well as the second edition of *Ninja Burger* --- simplified to increase the flexibility and simplicity required for telling whimsical tales of magic and fairies. PDQ offers three different levels of task resolution for any situation, in order to let players resolve encounters in as much or as little detail as possible.
PDQ also has three system elements of general interest: an abstracted system for damage or failure in conflicts, a method for generating future game events (or \"Story Hooks\") by taking damage, and a player-driven Hero Point system.
The core mechanic is to add 2d6 plus a freeform stat or set of stats, and compare to a difficulty number either a fixed difficulty number or the opponent\'s roll. In conflicts, the amount which you beat another character\'s roll by is the amount of damage or failure ranks (see below). Stats are rated in five named ranks: Poor \[-2\], Average \[+0\], Good \[+2\], Expert \[+4\], and Master \[+6\].
Conflicts result in the accumulation of either \"failure ranks\" (which recover at the end of the contest) or \"damage ranks\" (which may take longer to heal). Each point of either type means that the loser must choose a stat to downgrade by one rank. So if you lose a conflict roll by 3, you must lower three stats each by one rank, or one stat by three ranks (with a minimum of Poor: -2). You can choose any stat to take your damage in---i.e. you can downgrade your \"Singing\" quality based on a hit in a fight. When you can\'t lower your stats any lower (i.e. a hit when all stats are at Poor \[-2\]), then you have lost the contest.
Compared to the standard PDQ system, ZoZ streamlines character creation, magic, and conflict resolution.
## Setting
The whole of the first chapter of **The Zorcerer of Zo** consists of a discussion and analysis of the fairy tales genre and how aspects of it can be implemented in an RPG. Topics addressed include Fairytale Elements, Fairytale Settings (The Kingdom Entire, Otherworldly Visitors), Talking Animals & Living Objects, Fairytale Magic, Happily Ever Afters, Fairytale Tone: Nice vs. Neutral vs. Nasty, Fairytale & Nursery Rhyme Adventures, and an extensive bibliography, filmography, and list of games.
Chapter 2 is an overview of the Land of Zo, a fantasy land reminiscent of Frank Baum\'s Land of Oz, C.S. Lewis\' Narnia, J.M. Barrie\'s Neverland, and the lands of Florin and Guilder in William Goldman\'s *The Princess Bride*, as well as the more classic fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersen.
Chapter 3 is an overview of the game system, where the rules have been simplified even from the basic PDQ system to support unfettered play, and Chapter 4 details character creation with numerous examples. These sections contain valuable advice for including children of varying ages in the game. Chapter 5 contains game master (GM) advice and techniques to foster a fairytale-like quality when creating and running stories.
The last two sections, as well as a substantial appendix, detail an example of campaign creation and play, from the initial pitch to the \"Happily Ever After\" conclusion. These sections include GM and player comments that give insight on how a group can produce satisfying, in-genre stories.
## History
The game was originally published in PDF and Print on Demand format in November 2006, and a print version became available through distributed retail in December 2006.
### Awards
*The Zorcerer of Zo* won the Outie Award for Best New RPG of 2006

FVI garnered a notorious reputation within the industry for producing films that were highly derivative of many blockbusters of the era. The company mainly specialized in producing and distributing B movies and horror fare.
## History
The entrepreneur who spearheaded the company was Edward L. Montoro. He wrote, directed, and produced the company\'s first feature film *Getting Into Heaven* in 1968. The adult film was made for \$13,000 and grossed almost 20 times its cost.
FVI was known for acquiring Italian genre films and distributing them within the United States. These films included the 1968 spaghetti Western *Boot Hill*, a sequel to the famous *Trinity* films, and the 1974 horror thriller *Beyond the Door* starring Juliet Mills.
FVI acquired *Beyond the Door* for \$100,000 and the film went on to earn \$9 million at the box office, making it one of the most successful independent releases of that year. Detailing a woman possessed by a demon, *Beyond the Door* was labeled a rip-off of *The Exorcist*. Warner Bros. promptly filed a lawsuit, claiming copyright infringement. The lawsuit failed after it was determined Warner Bros. had no rights to key horror scenes depicted in *The Exorcist*.
FVI produced and distributed *Grizzly* in 1976, one of the first of the *Jaws* imitations. Montoro financed the film for \$750,000 and it was directed by William Girdler. *Grizzly* was a surprise hit, earning more than \$39 million and becoming the most financially successful independent film of 1976. Montoro decided to keep the profits for himself, resulting in a lawsuit against FVI by Girdler and producer/screenwriters Harvey Flaxman and David Sheldon. FVI eventually returned the profits to the filmmakers. Montoro\'s FVI worked with Girdler on the animal horror thriller *Day of the Animals* the following year, though this collaboration did not achieve the success of *Grizzly*.
Montoro eventually moved FVI\'s headquarters to Hollywood and began churning out multiple genre films over the next seven years, including *Search and Destroy* (1979) starring Don Stroud, *The Dark* (1979) starring William Devane, *The Visitor* (1979) starring Glenn Ford, *H. G. Wells\' The Shape of Things to Come* (1979) starring Jack Palance, *Kill or Be Killed* (1980), *Kill and Kill Again* (1981), the sequel to *Kill or Be Killed*, *The Incubus* (1981) starring John Cassavetes, *Texas Lightning* (1981) starring Cameron Mitchell, *Pieces* (1982) starring Christopher George, *They Call Me Bruce?* (1982), *The Pod People* (1983), *Vigilante* (1983) starring Robert Forster, *The House on Sorority Row* (1983), *Mortuary* (1983) starring Bill Paxton, *The Power* (1984), *Alley Cat* (1984), and *Mutant* (1984) starring Bo Hopkins.

## Demise
In 1980, FVI acquired the rights to the Italian film *Great White*, a thinly veiled *Jaws* rip-off starring James Franciscus and Vic Morrow. Montoro and FVI spent over \$4 million in advertising in the U.S., but Universal Pictures promptly filed a lawsuit, claiming that the film was too derivative of *Jaws*. Universal won the lawsuit and *Great White* was pulled from the theaters after just one week of release. The failure of *Great White* was a major monetary loss for FVI.
By 1984, FVI was on the verge of collapse due to multiple financial issues, including the release failure of *Great White*, the poor box-office performance of the studio\'s final film *Mutant*, and a pending divorce settlement of Montoro\'s. Surprising many within the industry, Montoro took \$1 million from FVI and vanished, never to be seen again. Film Ventures International officially closed its doors in 1985, filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and later being purchased by the INI Entertainment Group. Montoro\'s whereabouts remain unknown to this day, though it is believed he fled to Mexico.
In 1987, Film Ventures International attempted to return to film production with a co-venture of April Films to set up a film project called *The Prank*, and received a three-picture co-production deal over the next 12 months and with the acquisition of co-production and distribution of other ventures, after becoming a subsidiary of INI Entertainment Group (at that time it was called Independent Network Inc.). That year, Film Ventures International acquired the rights to two feature films, namely *Operation: Take No Prisoners* and *Phantom Empire*, two of the action films that were churned out for a ten-picture acquisition and in-house production blueprint for the next twelve months, slated to go through 1988.
## In other media {#in_other_media}
Some of their films, including fan favorites *Pod People* and *Cave Dwellers*, were eventually riffed by the cult TV series *Mystery Science Theater 3000*

# List of Desert Island Discs episodes
The BBC Radio 4 programme *Desert Island Discs* invites castaways to choose eight pieces of music, a book (in addition to the Bible -- or a religious text appropriate to that person\'s beliefs -- and the Complete Works of Shakespeare) and a luxury item that they would take to an imaginary desert island, where they will be marooned indefinitely. The rules state that the chosen luxury item must not be anything animate or indeed anything that enables the castaway to escape from the island, for instance a radio set, sailing yacht or aeroplane. The choices of book and luxury can sometimes give insight into the guest\'s life, and the choices of guests are listed here.
Very rarely, programmes will be repeated in place of new shows as a tribute to former guests who have recently died -- for example Radio 4 repeated Humphrey Lyttelton\'s show, originally aired on 5 November 2006, on 15 June 2008. *Desert Island Discs* takes two short breaks, in April and August/September. BBC Radio 4 broadcasts new programmes for approximately 42 weeks each year on Sunday mornings, usually with a repeat transmission five days later. On Remembrance Sunday (in November) the programme is not broadcast but that week\'s programme gets a single airing in the Friday repeat slot.
From mid-2011 selected episodes have been re-broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra and also on BBC6 Music. The episodes on BBC Radio 4 Extra have included some 60-minute versions of the show; many of these open with additional lead-in and lead-outs from presenter Kirsty Young, often featuring sections of other interview footage or recordings featuring the guest of the episode in question. Some, but not all, of these extended versions, also feature extended in-programme material not used on the original broadcast. Episodes repeated on BBC6 are those concerning musicians and figures in the music industry

# William Francis Gibbs
**William Francis Gibbs** (August 24, 1886 -- September 6, 1967) was an American naval architect of the mid-twentieth century.
Although he began his career as an attorney, after World War I, he became recognized as a skilled project manager in the restoration of a former German ocean liner for American use. In 1922, in partnership with his brother Frederic Herbert Gibbs, he began the firm that would eventually become Gibbs & Cox; they were among the major designers of World War II-era warships and cargo vessels, including the Liberty ships and Fletcher-class destroyers. Gibbs was a pioneer in the areas of efficient hull design and propulsion, along with being a staunch advocate for high standards of fire prevention and hull integrity. Although the Liberty ships were designed with a priority of production simplicity and economy, other Gibbs designs tended to be sturdy, light, fast, safe, and enduring.
During the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Gibbs brothers were among the promoters leading the United States government and military to subsidize the cost of building the ultimate ocean liner. In the end, Gibbs and Cox was awarded the contract to design and supervise the building of SS *United States*, which entered service in 1952. While in the class of the largest liners, it was much lighter and considerably faster than contemporary vessels. It was built with a high emphasis on safety, using a minimum of flammable materials.
## Early years {#early_years}
Gibbs was born in Philadelphia on August 24, 1886, to financier William Warren Gibbs and Frances Ayres (Johnson) Gibbs. He graduated from the DeLancey School in 1905 then entered Harvard College where he followed his own curriculum of science and engineering, studying plans of British battleships in his dormitory room. He left without a degree in 1910. He then attended Columbia Law School from 1911 to 1913, receiving a Bachelor of Law and Master of Arts in economics, both in 1913. At his father\'s request, he practiced law for the next two years.
While working as a lawyer, Gibbs visited the family home each weekend and, together with his brother Frederic Herbert Gibbs, began designs for a 1000 ft long ocean liner capable of producing 180,00 horsepower. The design had progressed to a point that he left the law firm in May 1915; in January 1916 the brothers presented their plans to Admiral David W. Taylor and Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels. The response was encouraging, and the brothers, with the financial backing of J. P. Morgan and the United States Navy, then approached the International Mercantile Marine Company (IMMC) later that year. Although a model was tested in the Experimental Model Basin at the Washington Navy Yard, World War I put an end to these early designs. Gibbs became Chief of Construction for IMMC in 1919.

## Gibbs & Cox {#gibbs_cox}
In February 1922 the Gibbs brothers started their own naval architecture firm, Gibbs Brothers, Inc.; their first major contract was to convert the former German liner *Vaterland* into the American luxury liner `{{ship|SS|Leviathan||6}}`{=mediawiki}. When shipbuilders Blohm + Voss asked over \$1 million for the original plans, Gibbs decided to draw his own. Between 100 and 150 draftsmen documented the existing ship and designed its new layout. Gibbs Brothers was renamed Gibbs & Cox in 1929.
The Gibbs designed a series of four trim white-hulled ocean liners for the Matson Lines service to Hawaii, starting with the design of `{{ship|SS|Malolo||6}}`{=mediawiki} in 1924. *Malolo* was built at William Cramp & Sons under the Gibbs Brothers\' exacting supervision and tolerances. At the time she was launched, *Malolo* was the largest and fastest passenger liner built in the United States. During sea trials in May 1927, *Malolo* was rammed by `{{ship|SS|Jacob Christensen||6}}`{=mediawiki}; the Gibbs brothers\' modern design and safety features were credited with keeping the disabled ship afloat while she was towed back to the yard. Three sister ships to *Malolo* would be built in the 1930s: `{{ship|SS|Monterey||6}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{ship|SS|Mariposa|1931|6}}`{=mediawiki} in 1931 and `{{ship|SS|Lurline|1932|6}}`{=mediawiki} in 1932.
The Grace Line contracted with Gibbs & Cox for four smaller 9,000-ton ocean liners in 1930, receiving the `{{ship|SS|Santa Rosa|1932|6}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{ship|SS|Santa Paula|1932|2}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{ship|SS|Santa Lucia|1932|2}}`{=mediawiki}, and `{{ship|SS|Santa Elena|1932|2}}`{=mediawiki} in 1932. Gibbs & Cox also designed the `{{ship|SS|America|1940|6}}`{=mediawiki} for the United States Lines, which was completed in 1940. All nine of these ships served as U.S. troopships in the war.
During the war, Gibbs & Cox created plans for thousands of American warships and cargo vessels, including destroyers, LST landing craft, minesweepers, tankers, cruisers, and Liberty ships. Between 1940 through 1946, 63 per cent of all merchant ships of 2,000 tons up and 74 per cent of all American naval vessels (destroyers, landing craft, escort carriers, etc.) were built to the designs or working plans of Gibbs & Cox.
After the war, the Gibbs brothers were among the promoters for the US government and military to subsidize the construction and operation of a new 1,000-foot ocean liner. After overcoming resistance in the Truman administration for government involvement and competing designs, Gibbs & Cox was awarded the contract to design and supervise the construction of the `{{ship|SS|United States||6}}`{=mediawiki}. This ship was the culmination of Gibbs career, and he was fastidious in the incorporation of fire safety concepts, to the point that the *United States* surpassed most present day passenger ships in fire prevention and containment. The design was also revolutionary in the use of lightweight materials and construction techniques, including a welded hull and aluminum superstructure. While rivaling the largest liners for physical size, she was much lighter, enabling higher speeds.
The *United States* entered service in 1952, after five years of design and 28 months of construction. On her maiden voyage, she won the Blue Riband as the fastest ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean, averaging 35.59 kn, and reducing the crossing time by 10 hours. Between 1952 and 1969, the ship carried a total of 1,025,691 passengers, and completed 800 transatlantic crossings (400 round trips), steaming a total of 2,772,840 nautical miles, and maintained an excellent safety record. She was the largest liner ever built in the United States and the fastest liner built anywhere. While fast and safe, she was panned by some passengers, as the use of exclusively fireproof materials in the décor and furnishings limited the aesthetic and luxury appeal.
In remarks accepting the Franklin Medal for his work in designing the *United States,* after recounting the ship\'s many achievements and the efforts of so many in making those achievements possible, Gibbs stated \"*My sole contribution in this performance is the fact that I took the responsibility for failure.*\"
## Later years {#later_years}
In 1953 Gibbs was awarded the Franklin Institute\'s Franklin Medal. In 1955 he was awarded the first Elmer A. Sperry Award. He died in New York City on September 6, 1967, two weeks after his 81st birthday.
Fulton-Gibbs Hall, the marine engineering building at the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York, is named in honor for Gibbs and Robert Fulton. The Gibbs Brothers Medal, awarded by the United States National Academy of Sciences for outstanding contributions in the field of naval architecture and marine engineering, was established by a gift from Gibbs and his brother

# Llanwddyn
**Llanwddyn** (`{{Audio|Cy-Llanwddyn.ogg|Welsh pronunciation}}`{=mediawiki}) is a village and community in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales. The community is centred on the Lake Vyrnwy reservoir. The original Llanwddyn village, about 2 mi northwest, was submerged when the reservoir was created in the 1880s.
## Geography
Llanwddyn borders the county of Gwynedd to the northeast, with the Powys communities of Llangynog and Pen-y-Bont-Fawr to the northwest, Llanfihangel-yng-Ngwynfa to the south east and Banwy to the southwest. The community is sparsely populated, but includes the village of Abertridwr as well as the new village of Llanwddyn.
According to the 2011 census the community had 99 occupied households and a population of 257, with only 84 of the residents born in Wales. This is a 17% decrease since the 310 people noted in 2001. In 2011, only 38% of the population could speak Welsh, a decline from 60% in 2001.
### Lake Vyrnwy {#lake_vyrnwy}
The main feature of the community is the 4.54 km2 reservoir, which drowned the original village when it was created in the 1880s.
### Climate
## History
By the mid-19th century the village of Llanwddyn consisted of thirty seven houses, a church and two chapels, three pubs and several shops. The population of the parish had dropped from 668 in 1831 to 443 in 1871. In 1873 the local vicar, Reverend Thomas H. Evans, published a mass of information about Llanwddyn in Volume VI of the *Montgomeryshire Collections*. He described the abundance of water with, for example, one third of the valley being regularly under water during the winter.
In 1877 the expanding English city of Liverpool identified the Vyrnwy Valley as a suitable site for a reservoir to supply fresh water to its citizens. A parliamentary bill was drawn up to authorise the construction of a dam and reservoir. The population of Llanwddyn were not consulted, though they presented a signed petition against the proposals.
The Liverpool Corporation Waterworks Act was passed in 1880 and construction of a dam across the valley began in 1881. It took seven years to complete. The old village was demolished, the valley flooded, and the water reached the lip of the dam on 22 November 1889.
A new village was constructed below the dam to house the original residents. It included a church, dedicated to St Wddyn, which was consecrated on 27 November 1888, the day before the valve of the dam was finally closed. A hydroelectric power plant was built for the village in 1902. The reservoir brought jobs and relative prosperity to the community, with the population remaining relatively stable for the next 70 years.
In 1974, ownership of the estate passed from the Liverpool Corporation to the Severn Trent Water Authority .
## Governance
Llanwddyn has a community council which has up to seven locally elected councillors.
Llanwddyn also gives its name to the Llanwddyn electoral ward which elects a councillor to Powys County Council. At the May 2017 council election Bryn Davies won Llanwddyn as Plaid Cymru\'s first seat on Powys Council

# Category (Kant)
In Immanuel Kant\'s philosophy, a **category** (*Categorie* in the original or *Kategorie* in modern German) is a pure concept of the understanding (*Verstand*). A Kantian category is a characteristic of the appearance of any object in general, before it has been experienced (*a priori*). Following Aristotle, Kant uses the term *categories* to describe the \"pure concepts of the understanding, which apply to objects of intuition in general *a priori*...\" Kant further wrote about the categories: \"They are concepts of an object in general, by means of which its intuition is regarded as determined with regard to one of the logical functions for judgments.\" The categories are the condition of the possibility of objects in general, that is, objects as such, any and all objects`{{Clarify|date=June 2022}}`{=mediawiki}, not specific objects in particular. Kant enumerated twelve distinct but thematically related categories.
## Meaning of \"category\" {#meaning_of_category}
The word comes from the Greek κατηγορία, *katēgoria*, meaning \"that which can be said, predicated, or publicly declared and asserted, about something.\" A category is an attribute, property, quality, or characteristic that can be predicated of a thing. \"...I remark concerning the categories...that their logical employment consists in their use as predicates of objects.\" Kant called them \"ontological predicates.\"
A category is that which can be said of everything in general, that is, of anything that is an object. John Stuart Mill wrote: \"The Categories, or Predicaments---the former a Greek word, the latter its literal translation in the Latin language---were believed to be an enumeration of all things capable of being named, an enumeration by the *summa genera* (highest kind), i.e., the most extensive classes into which things could be distributed, which, therefore, were so many highest Predicates, one or other of which was supposed capable of being affirmed with truth of every nameable thing whatsoever.\"
Aristotle had claimed that the following ten predicates or categories could be asserted of anything in general: substance, quantity, quality, relation, action, affection (passivity), place, time (date), position, and state. These are supposed to be the qualities or attributes that can be affirmed of each and every thing in experience. Any particular object that exists in thought must have been able to have the Categories attributed to it as possible predicates because the Categories are the properties, qualities, or characteristics of any possible object in general. The Categories of Aristotle and Kant are the general properties that belong to all things without expressing the peculiar nature of any particular thing. Kant appreciated Aristotle\'s effort, but said that his table was imperfect because \" ... as he had no guiding principle, he merely picked them up as they occurred to him\...\"
The Categories do not provide knowledge of individual, particular objects. Any object, however, must have Categories as its characteristics if it is to be an object of experience. It is presupposed or assumed that anything that is a specific object must possess Categories as its properties because Categories are predicates of an object in general. An object in general does not have all of the Categories as predicates at one time. For example, a general object cannot have the qualitative Categories of reality and negation at the same time. Similarly, an object in general cannot have both unity and plurality as quantitative predicates at once. The Categories of Modality exclude each other. Therefore, a general object cannot simultaneously have the Categories of possibility/impossibility and existence/non--existence as qualities.
Since the Categories are a list of that which can be said of every object, they are related only to human language. In making a verbal statement about an object, a speaker makes a judgment. A general object, that is, every object, has attributes that are contained in Kant\'s list of Categories. In a judgment, or verbal statement, the Categories are the predicates that can be asserted of every object and all objects.
## The table of judgments {#the_table_of_judgments}
Kant believed that the ability of the human **understanding** (German: *Verstand*, Greek: *dianoia* \"διάνοια\", Latin: ratio) to think about and know an object is the same as the making of a spoken or written judgment about an object. According to him, \"Our ability to judge is equivalent to our ability to think.\" A judgment is the thought that a thing is known to have a certain quality or attribute. For example, the sentence \"The rose is red\" is a judgment. Kant created a table of the forms of such judgments as they relate to all objects in general.
Category Judgments
---------- ---------------
Quantity Universal
Quality Affirmative
Relation Categorical
Modality Problematical
: Table of Judgments
This table of judgments was used by Kant as a model for the table of categories. Taken together, these twelvefold tables constitute the formal structure for Kant\'s architectonic conception of his philosophical system.

Categories are entirely different from the appearances of objects. According to Kant, in order to relate to specific phenomena, categories must be \"applied\" through time. The way that this is done is called a schema

# Tu Ángel de la Guarda
***Tu Ángel de la Guarda*** (*Your guardian angel*) is Gloria Trevi\'s second album, and it contained one of her signature songs and her most widely known hit, \"Pelo Suelto\". It also contained other hit songs such as \"Tu angel de la guarda\", \"Ya no\", \"Virgen de las virgenes\", and \"Hoy me ire de casa\". This album was very controversial different from other artists\' albums such as Lucero. \"Virgen de las virgenes\" mocked girls who said they were virgins but had actually lost their virginity, and \"¡Ya no!\" went against the machismo movement of México. Following the release of the album, Gloria was working hard in promoting radio, television and print media. Trevi first traveled abroad visiting American Union countries, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, Venezuela, Costa Rica, and received a Gold and Platinum for high sales achieved.
This album sold around 2,800,000 copies in Mexico, which was ranked tenth of the best selling albums of all time in the country

# Zygmunt Steuermann
**Zygmunt Steuermann** (5 February 1899 -- December 1941) was a Polish footballer who played as a forward. He was one of the most renowned members of the Hasmonea Lwów football club.
## Life
Born in Sambor, then in Austro-Hungarian Galicia, Steuermann was Jewish and a member of a Polonized Jewish family. His older brother was pianist Eduard Steuermann. His older sister was the actress and screenwriter Salka Viertel. As a child, he was nicknamed Dusko.
At the age of 12, he joined the local Korona Sambor. During World War I, he fled to Vienna, where he continued his training in a variety of sport clubs, including Gersthof Wien, Germania Wien, and Amateure Wien. After the war, he returned to Poland and in 1920 started a semi-professional career in Korona Sambor. During the following year, he moved to Lwów (modern Lviv, Ukraine), where he joined the ŻKS Lwów sports club. In 1923, he was transferred to Hasmonea Lwów, the most important Jewish football club in Poland and one of the four Lwów-based clubs playing in the first league. He remained one of the most notable players of that club until 1932, when he joined Legia Warsaw.
He also played twice in the Poland national team, scoring four goals: three in a match against Turkey in 1926 and one against the USA in 1928. He was one of only two first-timers in the history of the Poland national team to score a hat-trick in the first match, the other being Józef Korbas (in 1937 against Bulgaria).
During the Nazi and Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, he fled Warsaw and settled in his hometown, which was then annexed by the USSR. He returned to Korona Sambor, which was soon afterwards closed down and recreated as Dinamo Sambor by the Soviet authorities. Following the Nazi take-over of eastern Poland, he was arrested and sent to the Lemberg Ghetto, where he died in December 1941 aged 42

# Schrammelmusik
**Schrammelmusik** (`{{IPA|de|ˈʃʁaməlmuˌzik}}`{=mediawiki}) is a style of Viennese folk music originating in the late nineteenth century and still performed in Austria. The style is named for the prolific folk composers Johann and Josef Schrammel.
## The Schrammel brothers {#the_schrammel_brothers}
In 1878, the brothers Johann Schrammel (1850--1893) and Josef Schrammel (1852-1895), musicians, violinists and composers from Vienna, Austria, formed an ensemble with guitarist Anton Strohmayer, son of the celebrated composer Alois Strohmayer. The Schrammel brothers played two violins, accompanied by Strohmayer on a double-necked contraguitar. Inspired by both urbane and rustic traditions, the three musicians performed folk songs, marches, and dance music, most often for audiences at wine taverns (*Heurigen*) and inns around Vienna. At first the trio called themselves the \"Nussdorfers\" after the village of Nussdorf where they often performed.
In 1884 clarinetist Georg Dänzer joined the group, which soon enjoyed phenomenal success under the name \"Schrammel Brothers Specialities Quartet\" (*Specialitäten Quartett Gebrüder Schrammel*). The ensemble was invited to perform in palaces and mansions as \"Schrammel euphoria\" gripped the Viennese elite. So great was the Schrammel brothers\' popularity that some earlier folk music forms, such as the *Wienerlied* dialect song, came to be known as *Schrammelmusik* as well. The Schrammels\' popularity eventually extended throughout Europe and in 1893 they were invited to perform at the World\'s Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
The Schrammels composed more than 200 songs and music pieces in just seven years. Johann Schrammel died in 1893, followed two years later by Josef. Each brother was 43 years old at his death, and both died of nephritis.
## Style
A typical *Schrammelmusik* ensemble consists of two violins or fiddles, a double-necked contraguitar, and a G clarinet (also known in Austria as a *picksüßes Hölzl*). Often a button accordion, called a *Schrammelharmonika*, is included.
Performers strive for a melancholy, \"crying\", but melodious sound. The style is influenced by folk music from Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Moravia and Bavaria.
Several of Vienna\'s composers of formal music have also been Schrammelmusik enthusiasts, including Johann Strauss, Johannes Brahms, and Arnold Schönberg.
## Modern performers {#modern_performers}
Modern performers of Schrammelmusik include Extremschrammeln, Edi Reiser, Karl Hodina, Roland Neuwirth, Wiener Thalia Quartett, Malat Schrammeln, Alfons Bauer, Rudi Knabl, Anton Karas, and Peter Havlicek.
## Recordings
- The album [Continental Cafe](http://www.folkways.si.edu/ruth-welcome-and-dick-marta/cafe-continental/world/music/album/smithsonian) contains five tracks of Schrammelmusik, by a group called Wiener Konzertschrammeln. The record was issued by Cook Records in the 1950s and reissued by [Smithsonian Folkways](http://www.folkways.si.edu/) in 2004.

# Pilgrim High School
**Pilgrim High School** (also known as **Pilgrim**, or **PHS**) is a suburban high school in the Pilgrim Park neighborhood of Warwick, Rhode Island. It is a part of Warwick Public Schools. The school is single-storied and features multiple hallways for specific subjects. Multiple renovations occurred in the school, most recently in 2016, before the consolidation process began. The school logo is the shape of an American Revolution soldier head formed by the words \"Pilgrim High School Patriots\", although the letter \"P\" in the official colors is used for most athletic teams.
It opened during the middle of the 1963 school year to address overcrowding at Warwick Veterans High School, which taught almost four thousand students at the time of opening. Nevertheless, the new establishment eventually became notorious for the double session schedule to alleviate its own excess capacity problem by the late 1960s. Today, Pilgrim has an enrollment of 1,400 students thanks to a consolidation effort by the school department, after years of declining student population.
Pilgrim was historically well-known for sports, most notably the baseball team as they won multiple state championships all through a dynastic period. Most of the school\'s championships were won throughout the 1970s. In 2010s, the school\'s athletics entered a renaissance. Although the baseball team\'s last championship was in 1990, the boys\' basketball, unified basketball, competition cheerleading, field hockey, football, gymnastics boys\' ice hockey, boys\' and girls\' lacrosse, boys\' and girls\' soccer, girls\' indoor and outdoor track running, and unified volleyball teams won division championships in the 2010s and 2020s. The football team, after posting only three winning seasons between 1995 and 2018, finally appeared (but lost) in the state\'s Division III Super Bowl since their latest appearance in 1995.

# Pilgrim High School
## History
### Background and opening era (1960s) {#background_and_opening_era_1960s}
In the early 1960s, the early baby boom population began entering high school, and the population of Warwick skyrocketed to almost 70,000 residents during the post-war era with the popularity of the suburb. To accommodate the sudden growth of families, in 1955, the city consolidated all of its then-operating high schools at the time into one building, Warwick Veterans High School. The former establishments, Aldrich, Gorton, and Lockwood, were converted into junior high schools. All of them have since closed, with Gorton becoming Warwick Public Schools\' main offices in 2016, and Lockwood shuttering in June, 1979, now redeveloped into condominiums.
Overcrowding was still a problem only years after Vets opened, despite serving only three grades. It experimented with staggered schedules for the tenth graders, leading towards a double session schedule shortly after. The overpopulated student body led to the construction of a new high school in the city. It is unknown how the school got its name, but it presumably originates from where the neighborhood the school is located, Pilgrim Park. On December 30, 1962, the school was officially dedicated, and Michael A. Morry was named the first principal. A month later, on January 29, the school opened without delay during a cold winter morning. The big move was efficiently managed, with the Vets secretary going as far as scheduling students in the same classes they had in their previous school. The courtyards full of landscaping were described by one student as \"just beautiful\", and the cafeteria (once known as the \"dining hall\") was used to hold delightful dances. Sports teams were already formed, and the gymnasium was prepared to hold its first basketball game.
Still, Pilgrim\'s student population kept increasing. Morry implemented the double session schedule to avoid cramped conditions at the new school.
### The golden era (1970--early 90s) {#the_golden_era_1970early_90s}
Despite the population peaking in the early 1970s, the number of students attending Pilgrim contributed to athletics, and they are responsible for the success of sports teams throughout the decade`{{Clarify|date=November 2021}}`{=mediawiki}. In 1968, the boys\' cross country team gave the school its first division championship, ushering an era of Pilgrim\'s dominance in athletics. The following year, the cross country team gave Pilgrim its first state title.
The baseball team was still consistent when they first played in 1963, and in 1970, they won their first championship, the first of five in the decade. In the 1970s, Pilgrim\'s baseball team had a 110--34 record (a 76.4% win percentage), six division titles, and five state titles starting in 1970, a threepeat from 1972 to 1974, and 1978. Pilgrim lost the championship in 1979, but their power continued until 1984, when the team finished off with a losing record. Although the baseball team in the 1980s was inconsistent with their records, they managed to win the 1980 and 1990 championships. and competed for the 1992 title.
Pilgrim also won championships with other sports teams as well. Boys\' cross country continued to win titles through 1987. Ice hockey won three straight division championships from 1974 to 1976, and another in 1990. Football, wrestling, field hockey, boys\' indoor track, girls\' soccer, girls\' tennis, and girls\' volleyball were teams also associated with the \"golden era\".
The famed Morry had the Pilgrim football field dedicated to him. After he retired in 1983, Morry was succeeded by incumbent vice principal Ralph J. Hoffman. However, the latter was named as the school department\'s hearing officer, and in 1987, he left the school. Edmund B. \"Smiley\"Miley served as the principal of Pilgrim after Hoffman, a tenure that would last until 2002. He was derisively nicknamed \"Smiley\" by students due to his serious demeanor.

## History
### Post-golden era (early 90s--2014) {#post_golden_era_early_90s2014}
After years of instability, some teams began to emerge from an era where they lacked championships. The baseball team continued to appear in the playoffs, while the girls\' cross country team won their first division title. The football team made two appearances in the division championship in 1992 and 1995. Boys\' soccer, boys\' swimming, girls\' basketball, girls\' cross country, girls\' indoor track, softball, and wrestling are some of the notable teams that won titles in the 1990s to the early 2000s. The school\'s second track was installed in 1995 to replace the original cinder track, and was used frequently that it showed decrepit conditions twenty years later.
When Miley retired from office, Victor Mercurio (now superintendent of East Greenwich schools) took over duties of overseeing the students of Pilgrim, until he was appointed as the school department\'s director of secondary education in 2004. Dennis Mullen became the first teacher in the school named principal at Pilgrim, and he won the Outstanding New Principal award by the Rhode Island Association of School Principals. He also earned Principal of the Year in 2010 by the same organization. His tenure ended in 2012 similarly to his predecessor, taking over the job as director of secondary education. Marie Cote (née Johnson) became the school\'s first female principal, a position she would hold until 2015.
One notable lowlight during Pilgrim\'s post-golden era included a traffic accident during the 2009 school year. In April that year, fifteen-year old sophomore Kimberly Pisaturo was crossing the street while wearing headphones and looking at her phone, when a school bus transporting students to Providence struck her near the school. The driver, Rebecca Toolin, was unaware of the situation until she pulled over. The victim\'s family requested privacy due to the tragedy, but a YouTube video was uploaded in memory of her.
Students\' disinterest in metalwork helped convert one room from a shop classroom and storage area to a media studio for audiovisual courses as a result of a \$95,600 grant by The Champlin Foundations late in 2013. The plan was conceived the previous year when the faculty created a movie and screened it as a fundraising event by the Pilgrim Film Society club. Principal Cote, along with two English teachers, a music teacher, and a technology education teacher, were involved with filling out the application required to acquire the grant. With the money, the budget allowed eight iMac desktops with preloaded applications for appropriate classes, audio and camera equipment, lighting fixtures, microphones, and the like.
#### 1989 acid incident {#acid_incident}
Around that time, drug use was rampant in the lavatories, that an incident involving numerous students occurred on April 6, 1989. The preceding evening, a student, identified as \"Student Doe\", met with Student A and talked about purchasing LSD. The conversation occurred at Student B\'s house, though the latter had no knowledge such conversation occurred, but knew Student A was going to get drugs. The next morning, Doe entered the building thirty minutes after the first bell. It was said that Doe visited the lavatory every time before classes, and has no idea why he does so. Meanwhile, Student B witnessed Student A accompanying another student. All three were spooked by a teacher approaching. The student with Student A entered first prior to Doe, and took out a cigarette. Doe went inside the bathroom after, before Students A and B entered. When two other unnamed individuals went inside, the trade commenced. It took approximately five to ten minutes to complete the deal, but out of nowhere, Principal Miley was conducting searches for students hiding in lavatories, and happened to find everyone loitering inside. They were all told to report to the office immediately. After denying that a transaction occurred in the lavatory, Doe received a suspension for tardiness.
Soon after, the student walked to a nearby Mister Donut. One of the students that were with him in the lavatory offered him some acid. The group of students involved then moved on to the McDonald\'s located in the former Warwick Plaza (now a Walmart), where Doe obtained thirty hits of acid after following instructions of a student that purchased the drug from another person (Student A) that was part of the group in the lavatory. Doe hid the acid in his cigarette pack. Later that day, Doe returned to \"B\"\'s house, where they found out from a classmate that \"somebody flipped out at school\", and \"A\"\'s father was attempting to find the students involved or his own son. As the father knew \"B\" was included as part of the group, Doe fled out of the house in fear of uncertain harm.
After an investigation that found several students feeling sick from using drugs that day, Miley recommended the suspension to be extended until April 6, 1990, though the principal had no personal knowledge of Doe\'s involvement in the drug trade. He stated that it was the first time the student was disciplined for violating school policy on the sale, use, and/or possession of drugs. The incident was reviewed by the Rhode Island Department of Education as *John M. Doe v. Warwick School Committee*. The findings concluded that a drug transaction did occur in the lavatory, and that Doe lied about not witnessing it. The student was not found as a participant in a conspiracy to sell LSD that day, and was not responsible for Student A\'s distribution of drugs. On November 8, 1989, the case was decided to have the school expunge Student Doe\'s disciplinary records relating to the suspension, and to let him return to class.

## History
### Consolidation era and sports renaissance (2011--present) {#consolidation_era_and_sports_renaissance_2011present}
In late 2011, talks about consolidating Warwick\'s secondary schools surfaced. The committee reviewed options for the fates of the affected schools, and what strategies the department would apply to benefit unifying them. Some alternatives included closing two junior highs and sending all students to an old senior high, converting to a 7--12 model, or closing only one school. The school department already once considered 7--12 schools in the early 1980s according to a report by local television station WJAR, but faded into insignificance as times passed. The plans were put on hold until 2013, when the department\'s Long Term Facilities Planning Committee developed scenarios for a five-year plan on the futures of the secondary schools. Pilgrim\'s student population was one-third than it had in the late 1960s, as 1,021 were attending during the 2014 school year.
The following year, the school committee decided to close Aldrich and Gorton junior high schools and convert Vets into one middle school by the 2017 school year, officially known as \"Alternative 5\". The 7--12 plan for Pilgrim and Vets returned as well, but it was voted off prior the decision. The Long Term Facilities Planning Committee hired an independent consultant, Symmes Maini & McKee Associates, to study the entire district and develop plans, for \$238,243. In October, the new feeder plan was established, where ten elementary schools are to attend the new Vets Middle School, and Pilgrim when the students reach ninth grade. Throughout the 2016 school year, Vets students and parents were given an inside look of what Pilgrim would resemble after the consolidation. Then-Vets principal Gerald Habershaw presented a PowerPoint for concerned parents, and was named principal once the two schools merged, replacing interim principal Pamela Bernardi.
On the first day of the \"new\" Pilgrim, traffic stopped in the middle of Warwick Avenue, and the street leading towards drop-off roads and back parking lots were congested and unorganized. Vets students found themselves unable to find their buses, and even police officers attempted to guide motorists, but with no success. Habershaw described the traffic jam as a \"perfect storm\". Some parents found alternate routes by dropping their children off at the nearby Holliman Elementary, which prompted administrators to consider opening a drop-off route there, but no developments occurred.
Today, the students of Pilgrim experienced what many consider a renaissance. The establishment of more clubs occurred as the teachers\' union successfully negotiated a contract effective November 2017. A political involvement club, established by a 2019 graduate of the school and an English teacher, attracts diverse numbers of students on learning debates, gaining confidence, and meeting actual politicians to help keep the club running and discuss certain topics involving the government. However, the club saw no activity after 2018.
The baseball team continues to finish off most seasons with winning records, but not close to the potent 1970s teams. The football team, with the support of new coaching staff and a 4--3 record, reached the playoffs to compete in a rematch against Central Falls for the division title in 2018, but only to lose 14--10 at the conclusion of the game. Cheerleading, field hockey, unified basketball, boys\' basketball, boys\' ice hockey, boys\' soccer, girls\' ice hockey, girls\' lacrosse, girls\' soccer, girls\' indoor and outdoor track teams were known for winning titles during the sports revival era.
#### Homecoming Dance Controversy {#homecoming_dance_controversy}
On November 6, 2021, a time when COVID-19 cases were rising in the state, a video surfaced on the internet showing principal Gerald Habershaw without a mask alongside students at Pilgrim\'s annual homecoming dance. Soon after, Pilgrim saw a rise in COVID-19 cases, reporting 59 new student cases and 6 new faculty cases soon after the homecoming dance. As a result, the school moved to distance learning, which ended on November 29.
On November 22, Habershaw was placed on paid leave until further investigation, with assistant principal Pam Bernardi becoming acting principal until further notice. However, on November 27, Habershaw unexpectedly died from a heart attack at the age of 57. Later that day, his brother revealed that Habershaw tested positive for COVID-19 a few days after the homecoming dance but was recovering. Habershaw had been fully vaccinated and was not hospitalized leading up to his death.
On November 28, a memorial service was held at the high school, with hundreds attending.

In the past, Pilgrim once had an anime club, a bowling team, a diversity club, a gay-straight alliance, language clubs, a \"life smarts\" club, and Students Against Destructive Decisions, in the late 2000s. The arts, automotive, backgammon, career, dance, gaming, fine art, flag corps, history, judo, metalwork, microcomputer, project \"close-up/in-site\", and skiing clubs were active in the 1980s, and even a rifle club in the early 1970s.
### Activities and events {#activities_and_events}
Throughout the year, Pilgrim hosts events to attract students, alumni, and residents alike. Most of the proceeds go to funding various after-school events and clubs. Fundraisers are periodically held to raise money for the clubs and senior projects. Both the junior and senior proms are held, always one week apart from each other. The senior After-Prom Extravaganza (commonly referred to as APE) was first celebrated in 2008 after two graduates of Pilgrim died in an accident involving a drunk driver. Pilgrim Idol is the official musical talent show of the school, with contestants judged by staff members and local radio station DJs. Another talent show, locally known as the *Follies*, is a showcase of comedic, musical, and other performing arts talent. Near the beginning of the final exam week, seniors decorate the sidewalks with chalk. The tradition originated at Vets, but was quickly adopted by Pilgrim in 2016.

LeDoux began his professional boxing career in 1974. His first boxing match was a knockout victory over Arthur Pullens. LeDoux\'s final bout in 1983 was a technical knockout loss to Frank Bruno. LeDoux retired from the ring with a record of 33-13-4 (including 22 knockouts). LeDoux\'s opponents included Larry Holmes, George Foreman, Ken Norton, Ron Lyle, Gerrie Coetzee, Leon Spinks, Greg Page, Frank Bruno, and Mike Weaver.
In his match with Leon Spinks, LeDoux earned a \'draw\', just months before Spinks defeated Ali. He also knocked off broadcaster Howard Cosell\'s toupee in a scuffle that followed a losing effort with Johnny Boudreaux. LeDoux insisted the fight was fixed by Don King and he told Cosell to \"Tell it like it is\" mimicking Cosell\'s famous catch phrase. A pushing match ensued and in the process, Cosell\'s headset along with his toupee was dislodged by an errant LeDoux shove in front of live ABC cameras. Cosell quickly retrieved his hairpiece from the floor and replaced it on top of his head.
On April 22, 1976, LeDoux lost to fellow Minnesotan Duane Bobick before a crowd of 13,789 at the Metropolitan Sports Center in Bloomington, MN, which is still a Minnesota record. The high point of LeDoux\'s career were arguably draws scored against Leon Spinks and an aging Ken Norton. Norton won the first eight rounds of the fight, but tired. Although Norton was knocked out in round ten, there was confusion as to whether the ref had signaled the fight over so the match was declared a draw.
LeDoux took part in a five round exhibition match with Muhammad Ali and was a sparring partner to both Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis. LeDoux later worked as a ringside commentator for ESPN.
In 2010, LeDoux was elected a member of the inaugural class of inductees to the Minnesota Boxing Hall of Fame.
### Wrestling
In 1986 LeDoux went into professional wrestling as a referee for the American Wrestling Association. He would feud with Larry Zbyszko in 1986 and 1987 in boxing and wrestling matches.
### Politics
LeDoux was elected to the Anoka County, Minnesota Board of County Commissioners and re-elected in 2008, defeating challenger Becky Fink. In 2006, the Minnesota Legislature authorized the creation of a state Boxing Commission, the Minnesota Board of Boxing having gone out of existence in 2001 with the retirement of longtime Boxing Commissioner and Executive Secretary Jimmy O\'Hara (LeDoux and O\'Hara had served together on the Minnesota Board of Boxing for 18 years). LeDoux was appointed boxing commissioner by the state Governor Tim Pawlenty. In August 2006 LeDoux was also named Executive Director of the Minnesota Combative Sports Commission.
### Controversy
- In 2007, the Chief Executive of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, Melanie Benjamin, objected to LeDoux\'s public criticism of her band and their boxing matches at the Grand Casino Hinckley Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota.
- In November 2007, LeDoux was accused by boxing promoter John Hoffman of \"insulting and assaulting\" him at a boxing event in Maplewood, Minnesota. LeDoux claims that Hoffman was intoxicated and fabricated the story.
- In December 2008 a state investigation revealed that LeDoux, in his capacity as head of the Combative Sports Commission, accepted free tickets to an MMA event, some of which had a face value of \$600. This was determined to be a violation of state ethics rules.
- In January 2009, commission member Chad Ridler resigned in protest \"of the inaction of the commission in providing oversight of Scott LeDoux\...He\'s unaccountable\".
## Personal life {#personal_life}
LeDoux was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or \"Lou Gehrig\'s Disease\" in August 2008. A 2010 study questioned the diagnosis in athletes who had experienced head trauma or repeated concussions. Instead, the study suggests that some may have a variant of dementia pugilistica, known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy or boxer\'s syndrome. LeDoux was a member of the national board of directors of the Wishes and More. He was also honorary chair of the American Cancer Society. LeDoux founded a golf tournament called the Scott LeDoux Long Haul Classic.
LeDoux died of complication of ALS on August 11, 2011.

# Great Mills (DIY)
**Great Mills** was a British DIY retailer, consisting of around 98 stores across the United Kingdom. The business was bought by Focus DIY in December 2000 for £285m, who had also previously acquired Payless DIY and Do It All.
## History
Originally known as Clapton Building Supplies, the first store at Paulton, Somerset in 1972 was officially opened by Tony Blackburn, an unwell Dulux Dog and a staff of four. The store had a modest turnover of £50,000 but within six months, the turnover had doubled.
In the beginning of the 1990s, Great Mills launched Bay6 (Basics). These stores were identical in size, look and layout to those of rival retailer Wickes. Wickes bought the six Bay6 stores in 1995 from Great Mills\' parent company, RMC. Four were already trading, and two were under construction.
An important step forward for the company came in 1992, with the introduction of a new central distribution method of delivering products to its stores. This saved many motorway miles as deliveries were coordinated, rather than having hundreds of suppliers delivering to the same store each day.
Of the product range, over 70% was delivered by the Great Mills fleet in 2000 two or three times weekly.
Some of the worst-performing Great Mills stores, at St. Austell, Salisbury and Northallerton, were rebranded in 1994 into the No Frills DIY chain. Other than external signage saying No Frills, the interior of the stores followed no corporate planning as the concept was to sell anything and everything in an attempt to make the loss-making store profitable again. Only St. Austell got close to being in profit before the entire chain was shut with the sale of Great Mills. Whilst none of the stores made a profit before closure, they did significantly reduce their losses.
To further reduce distribution costs, a new Central Distribution Centre was opened in July 1997. The purpose-built development was fully automated and used computer systems to monitor stock control and to make sure deliveries were made on time to stores.
In May 1998, Great Mills appointed Jill Keen from Asda as marketing director, taking over from Peter Bastin.
### Sale to Focus DIY {#sale_to_focus_diy}
RMC Group put Great Mills up for sale in 2000, as chief executive Peter Young said the business \"is not a core part of what we do\". Later that year, the business was acquired by Focus Do It All, after they switched their attentions from Homebase. The Great Mill stores were all externally rebranded, though some retained parts of the interior branding. Great Mills had almost 100 stores in the UK at the time of the proposed sale
In 2011, Focus DIY entered administration. Some of the ex-Great Mills were sold off to other retailers, while others were left empty. The original Great Mill flagship store in Paulton stood empty until 2015, when it became an outlet for Wickes

# Luana Reyes
**Luana Reyes** (February 20, 1933 -- November 5, 2001) was an American Indian health care administrator. As executive director of the Seattle Indian Health Board (SIHB) 1972--1982, she grew that institution from a staff of five to nearly 200 and made it a model for urban Indian institutions; subsequently, she worked for the federal Indian Health Service, eventually becoming deputy director of that 14,000-person institution.
On October 10, 2001, shortly before her death from aplastic anemia at the age of 68, she received the Presidential Rank Meritorious Award.
## Life
Reyes was born in Portland, Oregon. Her mother, born Mary Christian, was Sin Aikst (now known as Lakes tribe, one of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation); her father, Julian Reyes, was Filipino, but had largely assimilated to an Indian way of life. Her mother\'s father, Alex Christian, was known as *Pic Ah Kelowna,* \"White Grizzly Bear\"; her great-uncle (brother of her maternal grandmother) was Chief James Bernard, a Sin Aikst leader in the early 20th century.
Reyes\' early childhood was spent largely on the Colville Indian Reservation in Washington. In 1935--1937, during the period of construction of the Grand Coulee Dam, her parents had moved to the Coulee and started a Chinese restaurant even though \"\[n\]either of them could prepare Chinese food except for simple dishes such as pork fried rice, egg foo-yung, and chop suey\". They soon acquired an ethnically Chinese partner and cook, Harry Wong; Wong bought them out of the restaurant in 1937. Her parents separated in 1939 and subsequently divorced; her mother would later work again for Wong in Tacoma, Washington, and eventually marry him.
From 1940 to 1942, Reyes and her older brother Lawney were students at the Chemawa Indian School five miles north of Salem, Oregon After graduating at the head of her class from Okanogan High School (Okanogan, Washington) in 1951, she moved to Tacoma, Washington, living with her mother, working in a department store and for Harry Wong\'s restaurant. She worked over the next twenty years in the private sector in San Francisco, Hawaii, and Seattle before succeeding her younger brother, activist Bernie Whitebear, as executive director of the Seattle Indian Health Board, which, over the next decade she transformed from a tiny organization with a staff of five into \"a comprehensive community health care center with a multimillion-dollar budget and over 190 full-time health professionals and support staff.\" During this time, she helped to found the American Indian Health Care Association, now known as the National Council on Urban Indian Health. Subsequently, after a brief stint as executive director of the Puyallup Nation Health Authority community health program, she worked at the headquarters of the federal Indian Health Service (Rockville, Maryland), eventually becoming director of headquarters operations, chief financial officer, and deputy director of that 14,000-person institution.
## Family
She had one child, a daughter, Kecia, born in 1985. Reyes\' brother, Bernie Whitebear (1937--2000), was a prominent activist, not only founder of SIHB, but co-founder of the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, and the Daybreak Star Cultural Center; her older brother Lawney Reyes is a sculptor, designer, curator, and memoirist.
## Legacy
There is now a Luana Reyes Leadership Award named in her honor.
The Reyes Building located at 801 Thompson Avenue, Rockville, Maryland is named in her honor

# Five Mile Pass
**Five Mile Pass** is a high arid region \~14 mi west of Eagle Mountain, Utah, that is managed by the Bureau of Land Management[1](https://web.archive.org/web/20100417011717/http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/prog/recreation/what_do_you_want_to/off_highway_vehicles.html) and is popular for motocross, off highway vehicle recreation, mountain biking, hiking, and camping.
The area is on the Utah County and Tooele County line, and the Pony Express passed through the area during 1860-1861. The area also was traveled by the stagecoach and pioneer families heading west for Nevada and California. Other historical activities in the area include mineral mining and quarrying.

# Friedrich Wilhelm II, Duke of Saxe-Altenburg
**Friedrich Wilhelm II** (12 February 1603, in Weimar -- 22 April 1669, in Altenburg), was a duke of Saxe-Altenburg.
He was the youngest son of Friedrich Wilhelm I, Duke of Saxe-Weimar, and Anna Maria of the Palatinate-Neuburg, his second wife. He was born eight months after the death of his father, on 7 July 1602.
Shortly after his birth, Friedrich Wilhelm II and his older brothers inherited Saxe-Altenburg as co-rulers under the guardianship of the Electors of Saxony Christian II and John George I until 1618, when his older brother John Philip assumed the government of the duchy and the guardianship of his younger siblings.
By 1632, two of his three brothers were deceased. Friedrich Wilhelm II and his older brother John Philip began a joint government; but, in fact, John Philip was the real and only ruler of the duchy of Saxe-Altenburg. Friedrich Wilhelm II was only a nominal ruler until the death of John Philip (1639), when he began his personal reign over Altenburg.
At Altenburg Castle on 18 September 1638 Friedrich Wilhelm II married his first wife, Sophie Elisabeth, the only daughter of Christian William of Brandenburg. She died in 1650 after twelve years of childless marriage.
In Dresden on 11 October 1652 Friedrich Wilhelm II married secondly Magdalene Sibylle of Saxony, Dowager Crown Princess of Denmark and daughter of his former regent, the Elector John George I. They had three children:
1. Christian (b. Altenburg, 27 February 1654 -- d. Altenburg, 5 June 1663).
2. Johanna Magdalena (b. Altenburg, 14 January 1656 -- d. Weissenfels, 22 January 1686), married on 25 October 1671 to Johann Adolf I, Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels.
3. Friedrich Wilhelm III, Duke of Saxe-Altenburg (b. Altenburg, 12 July 1657 -- d. Altenburg, 14 April 1672).
In 1660 he acquired the towns of Themar and Meiningen. In 1664 he built a hunting seat (*\[\[Jagdschloss\]\]*) in Hummelshain, and, in 1665, he built a particularly beautiful widow seat (*Witwensitz*) called \"Magdalenenstift\" in Altenburg for his wife Magdalene Sybille.
After his death he was succeeded by his second and only surviving son, Frederick William III

# Mario Scheiber
**Mario Scheiber** (born March 6, 1983) is an Austrian former skier who competed in all World Cup disciplines apart from slalom. He first started in a World Cup race on March 15, 2003, in Lillehammer. However, it was not until the 2004--05 season that he would start again in the World Cup, this time on a regular basis, finishing second twice and third once. In the 2005--06 season he participated in only one race because of a training injury. However, he had a successful comeback in the 2006--07 season, finishing in podium positions several times.
## Biography
Scheiber lives in St. Jakob in Defereggen and graduated from the ski high school in Stams. Very early he joined the ski club of his hometown and soon he was accepted into the squad of the Tyrolean Ski Association. As a 15-year-old, he competed in his first FIS races in November 1998. Scheiber turned into a good all-rounder. In 2000, he became three-time Austrian youth champion in his age group (downhill, super-G and slalom) and was subsequently accepted into the junior squad of the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV). In January 2001, he made his first appearance in the European Cup at the races in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, but was still far from scoring points. Three weeks later he finished twelfth in the slalom at the 2001 Junior World Championships. After further European Cup races without points in January and February 2002, Scheiber won the silver medal in the downhill at the Junior World Championships in 2002 and thus made it into the B squad of the ÖSV.
In the 2002/03 season, Scheiber already achieved several top 10 placements in the European Cup. On February 19, he stood on the podium for the first time with third place in the downhill of Tarvisio. Shortly afterwards, he won the gold medal in the giant slalom and bronze in the super-G at the 2003 Junior World Championships, at the same time as the Swiss Daniel Albrecht. As junior world champion he was first allowed to start in the world cup at the season finale in Hajfell, though he dropped out in the second round of giant slalom. Scheiber became Austrian champion in super-G in March 2003 and after that winter was promoted to the A-squad of the Austrian ski organization. On December 18 in 2003 he claimed his first win in the European cup at the downhill of the Tonale Pass and by getting to the podium three more times in the 2003--04 season he came in fifth in the overall standings and third in each of the downhill and super-G rankings, which guaranteed him a spot in those disciplines for the world cup in the upcoming winter.
In his third world cup race in the 2004--05 season Scheiber was already able to claim the third spot on the podium in the super-G of Beaver Creek. In February and March, he continued his run with two second places in the downhills of Garmisch-Patenkirchen and Kvitjfell. At the end of that winter he ended up placing himself in the top ten of the downhill as well as the super-G world cup. After the glacier kick-off in Sölden at the start of the 2005--06 season, Scheiber got badly injured in the giant slalom training in Sun Peak on November 13, 2005. He suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in his right knee and had to pause for the rest of that winter. In his second world cup race, in the 2006--07 season in the super-G of Lake Louis, Scheiber already claimed a spot on the podium again. In December he reached two third places in the two downhill races of Bormio and in March he was again second in the super-G of Kvitfjell. He also achieved top 10 results in giant slalom and super combination, which earned him ninth place in the overall world cup and downhill world cup, and fourth place in the super-G world cup. As a possible medal candidate, however, he came away empty-handed at the 2007 World Championships in Are after eighth place in downhill and eleventh place in super-G. In the 2007--08 world cup season Scheiber achieved three podium places: He finished second in the super-G of Beaver Creek and second in the downhill of Kitzbühel and third in the super-G of Kitzbühel. However, on March 6, 2008, his 25th birthday, he seriously injured his left shoulder during his giant slalom training in Maria Alm. After an operation he had to end the season early. Due to another injury, the following 2008--09 season was already over for Scheiber after only three races: On November 30, 2008, he suffered a cartilage and meniscus damage in his knee in the super-G of Lake Louise without a fall and was unable to participate in any further races due to persistent pain for the rest of the winter

# Sidcot Swallet
**Sidcot Swallet** is a cave near Burrington Combe, in the Carboniferous Limestone of the Mendip Hills, in Somerset, England.
It was named after the Sidcot School Speleological Society who explored it in 1925.
A swallet, also known as a sinkhole, sink, shakehole, swallow hole or doline, is a natural depression or hole in the surface topography caused by the removal of soil or bedrock, often both, by water flowing beneath.
After Goatchurch Cavern, Sidcot Swallet is probably the most popular cave on Mendip for novice parties. What it lacks in length or depth is adequately compensated for by its sporty squeezes and narrow crawls. Despite its popularity, many calcite formations still remain intact in the farthest reaches of the cave

# The Moneychangers
***The Moneychangers*** is a 1975 novel written by Arthur Hailey. The plot revolves around the politics inside a major bank.
## Plot summary {#plot_summary}
As the novel begins, the position of CEO of one of America\'s largest banks, *First Mercantile American*, is about to become vacant due to the terminal illness of Ben Roselli, the incumbent chief, whose grandfather founded the bank.
Two high-ranking executives groomed for the succession begin their personal combat for the position. One, Alex Vandervoort, is honest, hard-charging, and focused on growing FMA through retail banking and embracing emerging technology; the other, Roscoe Heyward, is suave, hypocritical, and skilled in boardroom politics, and favors catering more to business than to consumers. Heyward lives in a \"rambling, three-story house in the suburb of Shaker Heights,\" Cleveland, Ohio.
Many characters and plot lines interweave. Senior bank teller Miles Eastin is discovered to be defrauding the bank whilst casting guilt on another teller, a young single mother named Juanita Nunez. He is dismissed, arrested, and convicted. While in prison, he is gang-raped by a gang of fellow inmates. In prison, his knowledge of counterfeiting brings him to the attention of a gang of credit card forgers, who offer him a job on his release. Owing money to loan sharks, and desperate not to have to go to work for a criminal organization, he tries going back to his former employer to ask for some kind of job. Nolan Wainwright, the bank\'s Head of Security, obviously won\'t hire him to work directly for the bank, but with the approval of higher management, is allowed to pay Eastin to go undercover as an affiliate of the forgers and secretly report back details of their operation to Juanita Nunez, who had forgiven him after he came to see her and apologize for what he did. She agrees to be the \"cut-out\" whom Eastin will contact, and she will report back what he tells her to Wainwright. Eastin is discovered to be a planted spy by the criminal organization and tortured, only to be rescued in the nick of time as a result of Juanita being captured by the forgers and forced to identify Eastin. She is released, but uses her photographic memory to count the amount of time she spent blindfolded in the car and the movements it made, and as a result is able to lead police to the safe house where Eastin was being held and tortured. At the end, Eastin, Juanita and her daughter, Estella, move out of the state where both get new jobs. Also featured is Edwina D\'Orsey, the head of FMA\'s flagship downtown branch, through whom a reader gains much insight into day-to-day branch banking, and her husband, Lewis, who writes a financial newsletter.
As readers increasingly appreciate Vandervoort, the protagonist, they learn of his troubled personal life. His advancement in banking circles has come as his marriage is failing; his wife Celia is confined to an inpatient psychiatric facility. Vandervoort is shown as having developed a relationship with Margot Bracken, who is depicted as a radical attorney and political activist many years his junior; her attitudes sometime conflicts with Vandervoort\'s role at FMA. She is also related to Edwina D\'Orsey, as she is her first cousin. Meanwhile, Vandervoort\'s antagonist, Heyward, is depicted as a devout Episcopalian who strives to maintain an air of personal integrity and morality, only to slowly sacrifice them both in his pursuit of the presidency of FMA.
As these men pursue their battle for the soon-to-be-vacant position of CEO, various issues involving the banking industry, such as credit card fraud, embezzlement, inflation, subprime lending, and insider trading are discussed. *First Mercantile American* is eventually revealed to have a doppelganger in the form of an organized crime family.
The fight for control of the bank continues under the darkening clouds of an approaching economic recession. Heyward is manipulated into making a large, illegal and toxic loan to Supranational Corporation (SuNatCo), a multinational conglomerate (loosely based on International Telephone and Telegraph, with certain elements of Penn Central) run by the powerful, unscrupulous CEO, G. G. Quartermain. It turns out that SuNatCo is on the verge of bankruptcy, using the bank\'s loan in a vain attempt to keep afloat. The ensuing scandal causes a bank run and panic among depositors, shareholders, and employees. An investigative reporter discovers that Heyward was not only the key facilitator of the toxic loan, but he had accepted bribes (securities and in-kind) to do so. Facing arrest and possible prison, he commits suicide. By the vote of the board of directors, Vandervoort assumes the position of CEO of the half-ruined bank.

# The Moneychangers
## Real-life background {#real_life_background}
One of the banking innovations that Hailey mentioned in *The Moneychangers* is Docutel, an automated teller machine, based on real technology that was issued a patent in 1974 in the United States.
In the novel, Jill Peacock, a journalist, interviewed First Mercantile American Bank executive VP, Alexander Vandervoort, in a suburban shopping plaza where the bank had installed the first two stainless-steel Docutel automatic tellers. Vandervoort, whose clothes looked like they were from the \"fashion section of *Esquire*\" and who had the \"mannerisms a la Johnny Carson\", was not at all like the classical solemn, cautious banker in a double-breasted, dark blue suit. Peacock compared him to the new ATMs which embodied modern banking.
The history of the real Docutel was traced in a *New York Times* magazine article. The breakthrough came when Don Wetzel, Vice President of Product Planning at Docutel, was waiting in a long line for a teller at a bank in Dallas, Texas in 1968. Wetzel had seen cash dispensing machines in Europe and was inspired to adapt Docutel technology, which was originally used in airport baggage handling, to create Docuteller, an American version. By 1969 work began on the prototype and the first working Docutel ABM was installed at Chemical Bank in New York.
The bank is very loosely based on the Bank of America, although it is located in a Midwestern American city loosely drawing mostly from Cincinnati, Ohio. During the first 5 chapters of the book, it only describes the bank\'s location as a state in \"the Midwest\" and the state itself is never identified.

# Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
**Hypnotic Brass Ensemble** is an eight-piece, Chicago-based brass ensemble consisting of eight sons of the jazz trumpeter Phil Cohran. Their musical style ranges from hip hop to jazz to funk and rock, including calypso and gypsy music. They call their eclectic blend of sound \"now music\", or \"Hypnotic\". Reared in the teachings of music since they were children, they grew up on the stage playing as the \"Phil Cohran Youth Ensemble\".
## Early history {#early_history}
The brothers were raised in a house where music was a constant element of the household. Phil Cohran\'s \"Circle of Sound\" held rehearsals in the living room and put on live shows in the adjacent loft/theatre called the \"Sun Ark\". The brothers were obligated to wake at 6am and play their horns before and after school. As adolescents, they played around Chicago as the **Phil Cohran Youth Ensemble**, performing for the likes of Harold Washington, Nelson Mandela, and other prominent figures of the day.
As the brothers grew into high school, many of them set their horns aside for a while. Enduring the deaths of close friends and family, including brother Anthony Neal, close friend Robert Lock (for whom they later wrote a song entitled \"Flipside\"), and Level Todd (for whom their song \"Todd\" was written), they decided to pick their horns back up. In 1999, the brothers took to the subways of Chicago and presented their music. Shortly after, they formed a fully-fledged, eight-piece brass ensemble and by 2004 recorded their first project, *Flipside*. They moved to New York City in 2006.`{{page needed|date=November 2023}}`{=mediawiki}
## Collaborations
They have performed with Mos Def, Aquilla Sadalla, Phil Cohran, The Recipe, Nomadic Massive, Tony Allen, Wu Tang Clan, De La Soul, Prince, Femi Kuti, Gorillaz, The B-52\'s, and at the North Sea Jazz Festival. They have recorded with names ranging from Snoop Dogg, Ben Billions Erykah Badu to RZA and Ghostface Killah of the Wu Tang Clan to BK-One to Childish Gambino to Maxwell. They supported Blur for their Hyde Park reunion concerts on 2--3 July 2009. They are also collaborators on a number of tracks from the third Gorillaz studio album, *Plastic Beach*.
One of their songs \"War\" was featured in the box office smash film *The Hunger Games* as the theme song for the in-universe eponymous sport hosted by Caesar Flickerman,`{{page needed|date=November 2023}}`{=mediawiki} and on the soundtrack for season 4 of *Fargo.* It was sampled in \"American Royalty\" by Childish Gambino featuring RZA in the former\'s 2012 mixtape *Royalty*. They collaborated on tracks with the group Rocket Juice & the Moon, a project featuring Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz) on vocals/guitar/keyboard, Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on bass, and legendary Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen (Fela Kuti and many others) on the group\'s self-titled debut album. As part of independent label Jagjaguwar\'s 25th anniversary, the group performed a reimagined version of *Sapphie* by Richard Youngs alongside Moses Sumney, Perfume Genius, and Sharon Van Etten.

# Batan (stone)
Batan}} The **batán** is a kitchen utensil used to process different kinds of foods in South American, Andean and Indian cuisine. It has a flat stone (the *batán* proper) and a grinding stone called an *uña*. The uña is held in both hands and rocked over the food in the batán. Depending on the use, the uña\'s weight can be slightly held back, allowed to move freely, or used to apply additional pressure. The rocking movements also vary depending on the application, and the grinding is done dry or with water or oil.
## South America {#south_america}
The batán has been used since before the arrival of Spaniards in South America. In Andean households many different dishes are prepared in this manner, in rural and urban areas. The most important use it has is for preparing llajwa. For many Bolivians, Peruvians, Ecuadoreans and Colombians it is not the same when done in a blender.
It is also used to husk grains, wash quinoa from its alkaloid (saponin), grind grains, crush papalisa and even to prepare small quantities of flour.
## South Asia {#south_asia}
In Nepal, it is known as *silauto-lohoro* with silauto referring to flat stone and lohoro referring to a cylindrical grinding stone.
It is also used in India in a large number of households. It is known there as \"*sil-batta*\" in Hindi with *sil* referring to flat stone and *batta* referring to a cylindrical grinding stone. It is known as *pata-varvanta* in Marathi and used in the state of Maharashtra. It is known as *ammi kallu* in Tamil and Malayalam. It is known as *\"shil nora\"* in Bengali and is basically found to be used in almost every household in West Bengal. In Odisha, it is called *sila puaa* where it is also worshipped as Bhu Devi or mother Earth during traditional Odia weddings and the Raja festival. It is traditionally used to grind spices and lentils in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. These grinding stones are primarily used to prepare chutney and spice mixes for cooking and occasional use including grinding soaked lentils in preparation for dosas, vadas, or papadum

# Partitiviridae
***Partitiviridae*** is a family of double-stranded RNA viruses. Plants, fungi, and protozoa serve as natural hosts. It has been suggested that they can also infect bacteria. The name comes from the Latin *partitius,* which means divided, and refers to the segmented genome of partitiviruses. The family contains five genera.
## Structure
Viruses in the family *Partitiviridae* are non-enveloped with icosahedral geometries and T=1 symmetry. The diameter of partitiviruses is around 25--43 nm.
## Genome
Partitiviruses have double-stranded RNA genomes divided into two genomic segments, and there may be additional subgenomic segments. The two genome segments are packaged in separate virus particles. They code for two separate proteins. The first segment codes for the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), and the second segment codes for the coat protein. The segments are around 1.4--3.0 kbp in length, while the total genome length is around 3.0--4.8 kbp.
## Life cycle {#life_cycle}
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by cell-to-cell movement. Fungi and plants serve as the natural host. Cryspoviruses infect apicomplexian protozoa of the genus *Cryptosporidium*, while viruses of the other genera infect plants and fungi. It has been suggested that they can also infect bacteria.

## Phylogenetics
Based on the RNA polymerase gene this group can be divided into four clades (I-IV). Four isolates from animals and protozoans form a fifth clade. Clades I--IV consist of mixtures of partitivirus-like sequences from plants and fungi

# Robert Anderson (playwright)
**Robert Woodruff Anderson** (April 28, 1917 -- February 9, 2009) was an American playwright, screenwriter, and theatrical producer. He received two Academy Award nominations for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium, for the drama films *The Nun\'s Story* (1959) and *I Never Sang for My Father* (1970), the latter based on his play.
## Life and career {#life_and_career}
Anderson was born in New York City, the son of Myra Esther (Grigg) and James Hewston Anderson, a self-made businessman. He was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy, which he later said he found a lonely experience. While there he falls in love with an older woman, an event which later becomes the basis of the plot of *Tea and Sympathy*. Anderson also attended Harvard University, where he took an undergraduate as well as a master\'s degree.
He may be best-remembered as the author of *Tea and Sympathy*. The play made its Broadway debut in 1953 and was made into a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film in 1956; both starred Deborah Kerr and John Kerr.
*You Know I Can\'t Hear You When the Water\'s Running*, a collection of four one-act comedies, opened in New York in 1967 and ran for more than 700 performances. His other successful Broadway plays were *Silent Night, Lonely Night* (1959) and *I Never Sang for My Father* (1968).
He wrote the screenplays for *Until They Sail* (1957), *The Nun\'s Story* (1959), and *The Sand Pebbles* (1966). He also wrote many television scripts, including the TV play *The Last Act Is a Solo* (1991) and the novels *After* (1973) and *Getting Up and Going Home* (1978).
He was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1981.
Anderson was married to Phyllis Stohl from 1940 until her death in 1956 and to actress Teresa Wright from 1959 until their divorce in 1978. Anderson died of pneumonia on February 9, 2009, at his home in Manhattan, aged 91. He had been suffering from Alzheimer\'s disease for seven years prior to his death.
## Advocacy
As a supporter of writers\' rights in theatre, Anderson was a member of the Dramatists Guild of America and was elected president in 1971. He continued to serve the non-profit organization until 1973.
