# South Chicago and Indiana Harbor Railway
The **South Chicago and Indiana Harbor Railway** `{{reporting mark|SCIH}}`{=mediawiki}, owned by Mittal Steel Company (originally the International Steel Group), is the former Chicago Short Line Railway which operates 27 mi of track between Chicago, Illinois and East Chicago, Indiana.
The Chicago Short Line was incorporated in 1900 and leased 4 mi of yard and sidings from the adjacent Iroquois Iron Company. By 1919, C&CC&DC owned and operated 7.68 mi of tracks. until 1906, the railroad interchanged traffic connections in the South Chicago District through trackage-rights agreements with the B & O.
In December 1905, C&CC&DC sold the Iroquois Iron Company a parcel of land for expansion along the lake front. Included was the railroad and its right-of-way. There were some problems at first. Iroquois was a manufacturer incorporated under the General Laws of the State of Illinois, which prohibited manufacturers from operating a railroad. As a result, Iroquois leased the railroad to a new entity, the Chicago Short Line.
In 2003 Chicago Short Line became the South Chicago and Indiana Harbor railroad.
One of SCIH\'s main sources of revenue from the South Chicago operation was the intra-plant movement of pig iron, loaded slag ladles (to and from the cinder dump), and empty ladles to and from the ladle preparation building. The SCIH also handled substantial tonnages of slag, used by some Midwestern railroads for track ballast.
The railroad owns 4 diesel engines. 2 EMD SW1001\'s numbered 28 and 29 and two EMD SW1500\'s numbered 30 and 31

In pre-war cricket he was, though, inclined to be expensive and his figures suggest that he was under-bowled by the standards of the day. Only in 1936, when he took 87 wickets at an average of just over 21 runs apiece, did he suggest more than ordinary talent.
Returning after the Second World War, however, Hazell developed into a highly accurate bowler who achieved success by pinning the batsmen down rather than through any great spin. For Somerset against Gloucestershire in 1949, he bowled 105 balls without conceding a run, including 17 consecutive maiden overs. He took 105 wickets in 1948 and 106 in 1949, in both seasons averaging less than 20 runs per wicket, and was still an effective bowler into his early 40s. At the end of Somerset\'s disastrous 1952 season, however, when he had again come top of the county\'s bowling averages, he was not re-engaged.
In his full career, Hazell took 957 wickets at 23.97. He was a reliable slip fielder and a popular, jovial, rotund figure

# Erich Windisch
**Erich Alfred Windisch** (January 4, 1918, in Schöneck, Germany -- February 14, 2007, in Vail, Colorado) was a German Olympic ski jumper who developed in 1949 the jumping technique in which the jumper's arms are slightly arched and pointing downward. Windisch\'s technique modified the previously popular Kongsberger technique and it was the standard form in elite jumping competition until the current standard V-style technique was developed by Jan Boklöv in 1985.
During World War II, Windisch was a captain in the German army's mountain troops, serving in Russia. After the war, he taught the Mountain Troops of the 3rd US Army. He later was the director of a ski school at Schneefernerhaus on Zugspitze near Garmisch.
In 1949, Windisch was pivotal in the evolution of ski jumping, changing the forward arm movement for balance, to a position of arms alongside the body. He had to do so because of a dislocated shoulder, which forced him to jump with his hands at his sides. He won the Bavarian championship in 1949 using the new style and the new position was adopted by other skiers who realized it improved aerodynamics. Scientific tests made in a wind tunnel in Switzerland proved the arms-down style was better than the then-current Kongsberger technique. The technique was the standard form used by elite jumpers until the introduction of the V-style in 1985 by Jan Boklöv of Sweden.
Windisch's best jump was 337 feet, at Oberstdorf in 1950. He held the world record in water ski jumping, also in 1950.
Windisch was a member of the German Olympic team in both ski jumping and Nordic combined for the 1952 Games in Oslo, Norway, but he again dislocated his shoulder and was dropped out of the competition.
In 1957, he moved to Colorado and was a ski teacher there for more than 50 years---39 of them at Vail. In 1994, he was named Ski Instructor of the Year by Colorado Ski Country USA and inducted into the Colorado Ski Museum Hall of Fame. In 2005, Windisch was inducted into the Veteran's Professional Ski Instructors Association.
Windisch also studied architecture and built three houses -- one in Vail and two in Dillon, Colorado. Windisch did oil paintings and had an annual showing at the Vail Library. His paintings mostly were of mountains, in the United States and in Europe

# Tomtit
The **tomtit** (***Petroica macrocephala***) is a small passerine bird in the family Petroicidae, the Australasian robins. It is endemic to the islands of New Zealand, ranging across the main islands as well as several of the outlying islands. In the Māori language, the North Island tomtit is known as *miromiro* and the South Island tomtit is known as *ngirungiru*. This bird has several other Māori and English names as well. There are several subspecies showing considerable variation in plumage and size. The species is not threatened and has adapted to the changes made to New Zealand\'s biodiversity.
## Taxonomy
The tomtit was formally described in 1789 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus\'s *Systema Naturae*. He placed it with the tits in the genus *Parus* and coined the binomial name *Parus macrocephalus*. Gmelin based his account on the \"great-headed titmouse\" that had been described and illustrated in 1783 by the English ornithologist John Latham in his book *A General Synopsis of Birds*. The naturalist Joseph Banks had provided Latham with either a specimen or a painting of the tomtit. The bird was seen at Queen Charlotte Sound on the north coast of New Zealand\'s South Island during James Cook\'s second voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Banks owned a painting of the bird by Georg Forster who had accompanied Cook on the voyage. This picture is now held by the Natural History Museum in London.
The tomtit is now placed with 13 other species in the genus *Petroica* that was introduced in 1829 by the English naturalist, William Swainson. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek *petro-* \"rock\" with *oikos* \"home\". The specific epithet *macrocephala* is from the Ancient Greek *makrokephalos* meaning \"great-headed\". The word combines *makros* meaning \"long\" with *kephalē* meaning \"head\".
The tomtit is one of four species of the genus *Petroica* found in New Zealand, the ancestors of which colonised from Australia. The species was once thought to have been descended from the scarlet robin, although more recent research has questioned this. It seems likely that there were two colonisation events, with the North Island robin and the South Island robin descended from one event, and the black robin and tomtit from another.
Other English names have been used for this species including New Zealand tomtit, black tomtit, pied tomtit and yellow-breasted tit or tomtit. The term *tomtit* was originally a shortened form of *Tom titmouse*. Either form has been used to describe a number of small birds, but in England *tomtit* was most commonly used as an alternate name of the blue tit. The word tit is today used for a number of small birds, especially of the family Paridae. Originally, it was used for any small animal or object.
Five subspecies are recognised. Each subspecies is restricted to one of the islands or island groups. Four of these five subspecies have been elevated to full species in the past (the Chatham subspecies was retained with the South Island tomtit), but genetic studies have shown that these subspecies diverged relatively recently.
- *P. m. toitoi* (Lesson, RP & Garnot, 1828) -- North Island and satellites (New Zealand)
- *P. m. macrocephala* (Gmelin, JF, 1789) -- South and Stewart Island and satellites (New Zealand)
- *P. m. dannefaerdi* (Rothschild, 1894) -- Snares Islands (south of South Island, New Zealand)
- *P. m. chathamensis* Fleming, CA, 1950 -- Chatham Islands (east of South Island, New Zealand)
- *P. m. marrineri* (Mathews & Iredale, 1913) -- Auckland Islands (south of South Island, New Zealand)
## Description
The tomtit is a small (13 cm, 11 g) bird with a large head and a short bill. The male North Island subspecies has black head, back, wings (with a white wing-bar), and a white belly. The subspecies from South Island, the Chatham Islands, and Auckland Islands are similar, but have a yellow band across the breast between the black head and white belly. The females are brown instead of black. The Snares Island subspecies is entirely black, and is known as the black tit.
The island subspecies of tomtits show a striking variation in body size, being considerably larger than their mainland relatives, a tendency known as the Foster\'s rule or the island effect. Birds from the main islands weigh around 11g, compared with birds from Snares Island, which weigh in at 20 g.

# Tomtit
## Behaviour
### Food and feeding {#food_and_feeding}
The tomtit is mostly an insectivore, feeding on small invertebrates, such as beetles, caterpillars, spiders, moths, wētā, earthworms, and flies. Fruit is taken during the winter and autumn. Most subspecies feed in vegetation, waiting on a perch and watching for prey. Insects are also gleaned from branches and leaves. The Snares subspecies feeds on the ground as well, in a similar fashion to the North or South Island robins.
### Breeding
Breeding takes place from September to February. The nest is placed in a hole in a tree, in a tangle of vines and sometimes on a sheltered ledge or bank. The bulky nest is built by the female but the male sometimes brings material. The clutch usually contains 3--4 creamy white eggs which are covered with light-brown or grey spots. The eggs are laid at daily intervals soon after sunrise, and measure around 18.2 x. They are incubated by the female and hatch after a period of 15--17 days. The altricial nidicolous chicks are initially almost naked and are brooded by the female. Both parents feed the young and remove the faecal sacs. The chicks fledge when 17 to 20 days of age. Both parents continue feeding them for another ten days, although the male will feed them alone if the female re-nests. Pairs often raise two or three broods in a season.
## Cultural depictions {#cultural_depictions}
The miromiro features in Māori traditional stories. Te Arawa tradition tells how Te Rongorere used a pet miromiro to help him search for his mother, Te Aotepairu, who had been carried away from the Bay of Plenty to Whangaruru in Northland

# Balalae Airport
**Balalae Airport** is a small civil airport on Balalae Island operated by Solomon Airlines. It is located in the northwest of the Solomon Islands, part of the Shortland Islands and south of Bougainville Island `{{airport codes|BAS|AGGE}}`{=mediawiki}. It serves the nearby Shortland Islands and Fauro Island. It\'s a 1.75 km long sandy coral airstrip only 5 feet (or 1.5 meters) above sea level with a small customs area. It was built by prisoners of war, mostly British captured during the siege of Singapore, under the command of the Japanese during their occupation of the Solomons to protect the stronghold of Rabaul. In about June 1943, all Allied prisoners remaining on the island were killed and buried in mass graves. 436 bodies of unidentified soldiers were exhumed post-war. During 1943, Isoroku Yamamoto planned to arrive on the airport from Rabaul to increase morale after the defeat at the Battle of Guadalcanal. He was shot down while passing Bougainville Island during Operation Vengeance, during the Guadalcanal campaign

# John of Gallura
**John** (or *Giovanni*) **Visconti** (died 1275) was the Judge of Gallura from 1238 to his death. He was a member of the Visconti dynasty of Pisa.
John was the son of Ubaldo I Visconti and cousin of Ubaldo of Gallura. When the latter Ubaldo drew up a will in January 1237 at Silki, John was nominated to succeed him. However, Enzo, the husband of his Ubaldo\'s widow Adelasia of Torres, seems to have taken control of both Gallura and Logudoro and was granted the title King of Sardinia by his father, the Emperor Frederick II. Nevertheless, John was soon in power in Gallura.
In 1254, he joined the Republic of Pisa in her attack on John of Cagliari. In 1258, the Republic partitioned the Giudicato of Cagliari amongst her supporters. John annexed a third of it --- Ogliastra, Quirra, Sarrabus, and Colostrai --- to Gallura. John subsequently remained mostly on the Italian peninsula, participating in the wars between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines on the side of Pisa. He returned to the island in 1274, but was back in Pisa the next year, when he died there. All his possessions passed to the Republic.
He married Dominicata, daughter of Aldobrandino Gualandi-Cortevecchia, but she died in 1259. He was later re-married to a daughter of Ugolino della Gherardesca, Count of Donoratico. He was one of Ugolino\'s few supporters during the factional infighting which plagued Pisa. His son by Ugolino\'s daughter, Ugolino, called Nino, succeeded him

# Karl Friedrich Theodor Krause
**Karl Friedrich Theodor Krause** (15 December 1797 -- 8 June 1868) was a German anatomist born in Hanover.
In 1818 he received his medical doctorate from the University of Göttingen, and later attained the chair of anatomy at the surgical school in Hanover. His son Wilhelm Krause (1833--1910) was also an anatomist.
Krause was one of the first anatomists to make extensive use of the microscope. He was the first physician to describe the transverse perineal ligament, sometimes referred to as \"Krause\'s ligament\". He also described the accessory tear glands of the eye. These glands are found under the eyelids where the lower and upper conjunctiva meet, and are sometimes known as \"Krause\'s glands\"

# MacNaughton Cup
The **MacNaughton Cup** is a trophy awarded annually to the regular season conference champion of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA). The trophy is named after James MacNaughton of Calumet, Michigan, who was a supporter of amateur ice hockey. The Cup is hand crafted of pure silver and stands almost three-feet high and weighs nearly 40 pounds.
## History
In 1913, MacNaughton purchased a cup trophy for \$2,000 (equivalent to \$`{{formatprice|{{inflation|US-GDP|2000|1913|r=-3}}}}`{=mediawiki} in `{{inflation-year|US-GDP}}`{=mediawiki}`{{inflation-fn|US-GDP}}`{=mediawiki}) and donated it to the President of the American Hockey Association, which was to be awarded to the league\'s champion at the end of the season. The MacNaughton Cup remained with the American Hockey Association until 1932. From 1933 to 1950, the Cup was given to semi-pro and intermediate hockey teams in Michigan\'s Copper Country.
In 1951, the MacNaughton family arranged to have the Cup awarded to the newly founded Midwest Collegiate Hockey League (MCHL), a precursor to the WCHA. The MCHL was composed of Michigan Tech, Colorado College, University of Denver, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, University of Minnesota, and University of North Dakota. Michigan Tech became the trustee for the Cup. In the original spirit of the trophy, the league decided to award the trophy to its regular season champion.
In 1953, the MCHL became the Western Intercollegiate Hockey League (WIHL). The Cup remained a part of the WIHL until the league was disbanded in March 1958. There was no league play for the 1958--59 season, and for the 1959--60 season the seven teams resumed competition under the new name of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.
From the 1961--62 through the 1964--65 seasons, the Cup was awarded to the WCHA\'s playoff tournament champion instead of the regular season champion, but the WCHA resumed awarding the Cup to the regular season champion again for the start of the 1965--66 season through the 1981--82 season.
Michigan Tech left the WCHA to join the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) for the 1981--82 season. Since Michigan Tech is the trustee of the Cup, the Cup went to the CCHA. The Broadmoor Trophy was created as a replacement and awarded to the regular season champion until Michigan Tech returned to the WCHA for the start of the 1984--85 season. The MacNaughton Cup also returned and continued to be awarded to the regular season champion through the final WCHA men\'s season in 2020--21.
On May 18, 2021, it was announced that the trophy would be returning to the re-formed CCHA, beginning with the 2021--22 season.

## Criticism
In 2007, an ABC News piece and a story by *The Nation* journalist Joshua Kors questioned Pollock\'s involvement in a brewing scandal involving personality disorder discharges from the military. Pollock released a memo claiming that her office had conducted a careful review of a series of personality disorder discharges from Fort Carson, Colorado, a review Kors alleged to be a sham. According to Kors\' piece, the Office of the Army Surgeon General had not interacted directly with discharged soldiers, instead relying on the Army officials who made the original diagnoses to confirm their confidence in their diagnoses. Kors article stated that the Surgeon General\'s office then closed the review, without seeking information from more objective sources, leading to criticism of Pollock by the Iraq War Veterans Organization and Veterans for America

# All Saints' Flood (1170)
The **All Saints\' Flood of 1170** (**Allerheiligenvloed**) was a catastrophic flood in the Netherlands that took place in 1170. Large parts of the Northern Netherlands, and Holland territories were overflowed.
The flooding North Sea created the islands of Wieringen and Texel. Lake Flevo was once a fresh water lake, but a sea channel opened a connection from the North Sea into the lake through Creil Woods. Lake Flevo began to turn into the salt-water sea known as the Zuiderzee. By around 1248, the transformation of the lake into the Zuiderzee was complete. By around 1248, The Creiler Woods vanished under the waves. The sea area increased inside the Netherlands and large peat areas developed, which were easily washed away.
The flood rendered the settlement of Rotta (the predecessor of Rotterdam) uninhabitable, and marked the beginning of Amsterdam, where the area gained an open connection to the sea, and where a dam was built in the Amstel to protect the land from future floods

# PEN-2
**PSENEN**, formally **PEN-2** (presenilin enhancer 2), is a protein that is a regulatory component of the gamma secretase complex, a protease complex responsible for proteolysis of transmembrane proteins such as the Notch protein and amyloid precursor protein (APP). The gamma secretase complex consists of PEN-2, APH-1, nicastrin, and the catalytic subunit presenilin. PEN-2 is a 101-amino acid integral membrane protein likely with a topology such that both the N-terminus and the C-terminus face first the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and later the extracellular environment. Biochemical studies have shown that a conserved sequence motif D-Y-L-S-F at the C-terminus, as well as the overall length of the C-terminal tail, is required for the formation of an active gamma secretase complex.
PEN-2 binds to metformin at therapeutic concentration and may be responsible for its AMPK-activating effects. PEN2-metformin in turn binds to ATP6AP1 to inhibit v-ATPase activity

# Robert Kirkland Kernighan
**Robert Kirkland Kernighan** (25 April 1854 -- 3 November 1926) was a Canadian poet, journalist, and farmer.
## Early life and career {#early_life_and_career}
Born at Rushdale Farm, Rockton, Canada West, he apprenticed as a journalist on the *Hamilton Spectator* staff. About 1876, the paper printed his first poetry. Kernighan lived in Western Canada for a while working for the *Winnipeg Sun*. Short thereafter, he returned to Hamilton to farm. He worked exclusively for many years for the *Toronto Telegram* writing a column titled, \"The Khan\'s Corner.\" The nickname \"Khan\" was given to him by a young French-Canadian woman who could not pronounce his name.
It was the opinion of Canadian Prime Minister John A. Macdonald that if Canada ever went to war the soldiers would march to battle singing Kernighan\'s poem \"The Men of the Northern Zone\".
In an article reviewing personalities from Hamilton history, Kernighan was praised as a *\"\...poet and humourist with a rare gift of sympathetic portrayal of rural Canadian life.\"*
The Khan appeared in Toronto at old Albert Hall on October 20, 1885 to a packed house. Toronto\'s Daily Amusement Record reported: \"Albert Hall was jammed to the door, and many had to stand. This, more than anything else, is a substantial compliment to Mr. Kernighan, as the people of Toronto are not in the habit of throwing away fifty-cent pieces \'just for fun\'.\" Kernighan\'s lecture was attended by notable local personalities who were described in the Amusement Record as the \"Fourth Estate\". The reviewer concluded: *\"The lecture was a masterpiece of native eloquence, humour and pathos, and the only fault found was that it was too short.\"*
\"The Khan\'s Canticles\", a hardcover book containing his poetry, was published by the Hamilton Spectator Printing Company in 1896. \"The Khan\'s Book of Verse\" was published in 1925.
## Tribute
The Kernighan (Hamilton, Ontario) neighbourhood on the Hamilton, Ontario Mountain was named after him. It is bound by the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway (north), Stone Church Road West (south), West 5th Street (west) and Upper James Street (east). Landmarks in this neighbourhood include Yuk Yuk\'s Comedy Club and Kernighan Park (Hamilton, Ontario), also named after him

# Board of Education of Oklahoma City v. Dowell
***Board of Education of Oklahoma City v. Dowell***, 498 U.S. 237 (1991), was a United States Supreme Court case \"hasten\[ing\] the end of federal court desegregation orders.\"
## Facts
In 1961 black students and their parents sued the Board of Education of Oklahoma City to end the de jure dual school system. In 1963 the District Court found that Oklahoma was operating a dual school system intentionally. In 1965 the District Court found that residential segregation was the reason that neighborhood zoning had not remedied the past segregation.
In 1972 the Court ordered the Board to follow the \"Finger Plan\" that would bus black children to all white schools in grades, and bus white children to all black schools.
In 1977 the Board filed a \"Motion to Close Case\" which was granted after the Court found that \"substantial compliance with the constitutional requirements had been achieved\":
\"The School Board, under the oversight of the Court, has operated the Plan properly, and the Court does not foresee that the termination of its jurisdiction will result in the dismantlement of the Plan or any affirmative action by the defendant to undermine the unitary system so slowly and painfully accomplished\"
After demographic changes in 1984 and improved residential integration black students were bussed to more distant schools. The board adopted a Student Reassignment Plan (SRP) to reduce travel times. In 1985 a \"Motion to Reopen the Case\" was filed by respondents alleging that the return to neighborhood zoning was a return to segregation. The District Court would not reopen the case because the 1977 finding of unitariness was res judicata and there was no mandate for additional desegregation by court order.
The Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit reversed. On remand, the District Court found that demographic changes, private decision making and economic factors were too attenuated from the system of de jure segregation.
The Court of Appeals reversed again. Despite the District Court\'s finding of unitariness made in 1977, the Appeals Court held that \"an injunction takes on a life of its own\" and the injunctive remedy would remain in effect permanently or indefinitely under United States v. Swift & Co. unless a showing of a \"grievous wrong evoked by new and unforeseen conditions\" was made.
The Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals.
## Supreme Court decision {#supreme_court_decision}
The Supreme Court said the 1977 order did not make dissolution of the injunction res judicata:
> the 1977 order did not dissolve the desegregation decree, and the District Court\'s unitarianess finding was too ambiguous to bar respondents from challenging later action by Board
The Supreme Court agreed with the Court of Appeals that the injunction was not dissolved by the 1977 order because the District Court did not explain what it meant by unitary. The Court did not uphold their reasoning relying on *Swift*. Federal supervision of school boards was intended to remedy past discrimination. A finding of compliance with that constitutional requirement would be enough to allow the injunction to be dissolved.
The Supreme Court did not dissolve the injunction or reinstate the District Court decision dissolving the injunction. They remanded the case for the District Court to decide if the Board made a sufficient showing that they were compliant with the decree in 1985 when the SRP was adopted, including good faith compliance with the decree and elimination of the \"vestiges of past discrimination\" based on the Green factors

# George Dreyfus
**George Dreyfus** AM (born 22 July 1928) is an Australian contemporary classical, film and television composer.
## Early life and orchestral career {#early_life_and_orchestral_career}
Dreyfus was born to a Jewish family in Elberfeld, Wuppertal, Germany. He was the younger of two sons born to Alfred Dreyfus and Hilde Ransenberg. Growing up, his family had what he described as \"pots of money, cars, *Kindermädchen* \[nannies\] and holidays in Switzerland and Czechoslovakia\". However, due to the Nazi persecution of Jews, the family was forced to move to Berlin in 1935 and then left Germany entirely. He and his brother arrived in Melbourne in July 1939 and began attending boarding school; his parents followed in December.
At Melbourne High School, Dreyfus conducted the school choir and played clarinet in the school orchestra. He enrolled in the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music as a bassoonist, and then in 1948 toured for a year playing Italian opera with the J. C. Williamson touring orchestra. Dreyfus subsequently played for several years in the house orchestra of His Majesty\'s Theatre, Perth. He joined the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 1953, where he played until 1964. He was reputedly fired from the orchestra by Clive Douglas. A grant enabled him in 1955 to continue his studies at the Imperial Academy of Music in Vienna, where he was taught by Karl Öhlberger.
## Composer
Dreyfus began composing in 1956 but did not concentrate on composition until the 1960s after he left the Orchestra. A UNESCO travel grant allowed him in 1966 to travel to Germany for studies with Karlheinz Stockhausen at the `{{Interlanguage link multi|Rheinische Musikschule|de}}`{=mediawiki} in Cologne. In 1972 he won the Albert H. Maggs Composition Award.
He has composed numerous film and television scores, including for *The Adventures of Sebastian the Fox* (1963), *A Steam Train Passes* (1974), *Rush* (1974), *Dimboola* (1979) and *The Fringe Dwellers* (1986). It was the score for *Rush* which brought him wider recognition and saw him immortalised in the Trivial Pursuit board game.
He composed the operas *Rathenau* (premiered 1993 at the Staatstheater Kassel), *Die Marx Sisters* (premiered 1996 at the Bielefeld Opera) and *The Takeover* (1970) which had its European premiere in 1997 in Germany. Other operas are *Garni Sands* (1966, premiered 1972) and *Gilt-Edged Kid* (1970).
He also composed the musical *The Sentimental Bloke*, an adaptation of *The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke* with book and lyrics by Graeme Blundell. *The Sentimental Bloke* premiered at the Melbourne Theatre Company in December 1985. He also contributed music to *Manning Clark\'s History of Australia -- The Musical* which premiered in 1988.
In 1984, he published his autobiography *The Last Frivolous Book*, and in 1998 a book of essays. His memoir *Don\'t Ever Let Them Get You!* (Black Pepper, 2009) includes essays on his music and a complete catalogue of works. In 2011 he published *Brush Off!* about his struggles with Opera Australia to get his opera *Gilt-Edged Kid* performed. In 2019, at the age of 90, Dreyfus disrupted the opening night of *Rigoletto* at the State Theatre in Melbourne when he attempted to use a megaphone from the front row to protest against the company for not having performed his work. George is currently touring Melbourne with his quartet and performing his best works to the community with funding from The Pratt Foundation. He most recently performed at The Festival of Jewish Arts and Music, where at the age of 91 he is still performing the bassoon part in the arrangements he made for quartet.

# Ernesto Padilla
**Ernesto Padilla** (born 1972 in Havana, Cuba) is a Cuban-American artist, graphic designer and cigar maker. He is the son of Cuban poet, Heberto Padilla.
## Early life {#early_life}
Padilla was born to Heberto Padilla, a Cuban writer and poet, and his wife, the artist and poet Belkis Cuza Malé. Heberto Padilla was out of favor with the government of Fidel Castro at the time of Ernesto\'s birth, and the family was living under house arrest in an apartment in the Marianao neighborhood of Havana.
In 1979, Padilla and his mother were allowed to leave Cuba for the United States. His father, Heberto, was not allowed to leave Cuba until 1980. They initially settled in Miami, Florida, but later moved to Princeton, New Jersey.
## Early career {#early_career}
After graduating from high school in Princeton, New Jersey, Ernesto embarked upon a career in the graphic arts, and studied at several schools, including the Art Institute of Philadelphia, the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and the Miami School of Design. He has participated in numerous art exhibitions throughout the USA and currently has works at *The Gallery of Cuban Art* at [La Casa Azul](http://www.lacasaazul.org/) in Fort Worth, Texas.
After completing his schooling, Ernesto began working in advertising, working on various major accounts. He moved to Miami to take a job with Tabacalera Perdomo, where he was involved in marketing and product development.
## Transition to cigar maker {#transition_to_cigar_maker}
He himself had not been involved in the cigar and tobacco industry prior to his work at Perdomo, but he comes from a family that had been deeply involved in tobacco in Cuba. His great-grandparents had owned a tobacco plantation in the Pinar del Río region of Cuba, and his father had grown up on it. Ernesto attributes his love of cigars and the tobacco business to his father: \"He always had a passion for cigars. He was like a secondary ambassador for cigars...I always loved it, always loved the business because of that.\" Coming from a tobacco family, Ernesto knew or was acquainted with many people in the tobacco growing world. Working for Perdomo served to solidify these connections, and in time, he struck out on his own.
On 24 April 2003, Ernesto and his brother Carlos incorporated as **Padilla Cigar Company**, and embarked on a new career as cigar makers.

# Ernesto Padilla
## Padilla Cigars {#padilla_cigars}
Within the Padilla Cigar Company Ernesto handles product development and marketing, while Carlos handles administration and management. Much of the graphic arts in the brand advertising, including band designs, is done by Coolbirth, Inc.
Padilla Cigar Co. is what is referred to as a \"boutique\" brand, *i. e.*, a small company of limited production and distribution. This allows such a company to concentrate on achieving a high quality product. In the case of Padilla Cigars, they have chosen to concentrate on using very rare and limited Cuban-seed first generation tobaccos in almost all their blends, production numbers are therefore also naturally limited.
In developing the blends used in Padilla cigars, Ernesto worked closely with several recognized experts, including master blender José \"Don Pepin\" García and Gilberto Oliva. The results are easily seen, for in the short time that the company has been in existence, it has become recognized in the premium cigar industry as one of the leading boutique cigar companies, and its cigars have been consistently been given high ratings.
In 2008, Padilla parted company with García due to the latter\'s expanding commitments to other cigar makers. Padilla opened up his own 2000 sqft manufacturing facility in the Little Havana section of Miami, Florida, to which production of Padilla\'s \"Miami\", \"Signature 1932\", and \"1948\" cigars was shifted. Production of other Padilla-branded products continued under the auspices of other cigar makers, with the \"Serie 1968\" made in Honduras by Tabacalera Aguilar and the \"Padilla Habano\" made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez.
The company currently has several brands in regular production and makes special, limited release cigars from time to time as well as occasional custom brands.
### 2012 revamping
In May 2012 Ernesto Padilla announced a major change in the Padilla lineup. Four of Padilla\'s flagship products were to be discontinued, including the Signature 1932, Miami, Dominus, and the newly introduced Artemis, with these to be replaced by new Miami-made lines called Invictitus and Miami Maduro, as well as a Nicaraguan-made lines to be known as Padilla Reserve and Premier Cru. The small El Titán de Bronze factory owned by Sandra Cobras was named as the maker of Padilla\'s Miami-based production, while a move was made from the Tabacalera Tropical factory to the TABOLISA facility in Estelí for manufacture of the company\'s new Nicaraguan line. The TABOLISA factory is the same used by Oliva Cigar Company for the manufacture of its products.
Late in 2011 another new line called Padilla Legacies was introduced, made in the Tabacalera Tropical factory for exclusive distribution by mailorder giant E.P. Thompson & Co. This new line was to be unaffected by Padilla\'s 2012 move from Tabacalera Tropical to TABOLISA.
### Regular production lines (as of 2015) {#regular_production_lines_as_of_2015}

### Special production cigars {#special_production_cigars}
Ernesto has produced several special cigars that took advantage of some special small-crop tobaccos by creating a series of very limited editions which he called **Edición Especial**. These are briefly listed below.
- *Padilla Edición Especial en Cedro*. This was a Toro Grande (6 x 52) and had a Connecticut wrapper surrounding tobaccos from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Peru. Each cigar was given a cedar sleeve.
- *Padilla Edición Especial Obsidian*. With a very deep black Nicaraguan ligero maduro wrapper, the Obsidian (a Toro, 6 x 54) was filled with Honduran Corojo from Jalapá mixed with dark, Nicaraguan tobaccos grown in Estelí, Nicaragua. Initial release was limited to 50,000 cigars, but it was later (late 2007) re-introduced as an exclusive to a single retailer, this time as a 6 x 54 Belicoso. This new version is made at Pepin Garcia\'s Nicaraguan factory, TACUBA.
- *Padilla Edición Especial Achilles*. This cigar was manufactured in Pepin Garcia\'s factory at Estelí, Nicaragua, Tabacalera Cubana. Production was limited to 60,000 of only one size, a Toro (6\" x 50). A full-bodied cigar, the wrapper is a Corojo. Despite the low production numbers, it was reasonably priced.
- *Padilla/Studio Tabac Special Edition Figuaro.* Special production 2011 collaboration project between Padilla and Oliva Cigar Company, with a very limited one year production of 1,000 boxes of 10 cigars in a figurado vitola

# Picardy (hymn)
**Picardy** is a hymn tune used in Christian churches, based on a French carol; it is in a minor key and its meter is 8.7.8.7.8.7. Its name comes from the province of France from where it is thought to originate. The tune dates back at least to the 17th century, and was originally used for the folk song \"Jésus-Christ s\'habille en pauvre\". First published in the 1848 collection *Chansons populaires des provinces de France*, \"Picardy\" was most famously arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1906 for the hymn \"Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence\", in the English Hymnal, the words of which are taken from the Byzantine Greek Liturgy of St. James translated by Gerard Moultrie, a chaplain at Shrewsbury School.
In addition, Gustav Holst used the hymn in his \"3 Festival Choruses\" Op. 36a.
While the tune is most commonly sung to the words \"Let all mortal flesh keep silence\", it is also set to other words, including \"Christians, let us love one another\" and \'You, Lord, are both lamb and shepherd\"

# Idente Missionaries
The Institute *Id* of Christ the Redeemer, **Idente Missionaries**, is a Catholic religious institute of consecrated life founded by Fernando Rielo in 1959 on the island of Tenerife, Spain. The congregation has religious men and women, as well as married missionaries.
## History
The Idente Missionaries were founded on June 29, 1959 in the Diocese of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), with the support of Bishop, Domingo Pérez Cáceres. The name is derived from a combination of the Spanish word \"id\" and the Latin \"ente\" to convey the idea of the \"Great Commission\" {Matt.28:19) \"Go and teach all nations.\"
In January 1994, the missionaries were canonically recognized by the Archdiocese of Madrid as a Public Association of the Faithful. In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI elevated the Idente Missionaries to the status of a religious institute of consecrated life of pontifical right.
The Institute has some ninety houses in twenty countries.
## Charism
The charism of the institute is a \"filial consciousness\" of God. This filial consciousness consists in complete receptivity to grace. It is reflected in three principles:
- a vocation to holiness;
- community life; and
- a commitment to evangelization
## Spirituality
The members of the Institute profess the religious vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. There is a particular devotion to Mary, under the title \"Our Lady of the Mystical Life\", (honored with a chapel at Almudena Cathedral); and to St. Joseph.
## Administration and Government {#administration_and_government}
Both the men\'s and the women\'s congregations of the Idente Missionaries each have a General Superior. The Apostolic President oversees both. The men\'s congregation has a Patriarch, responsible for the administration of each continent. The women\'s congregation has a Matriarch for administration of a continent. Provincial Superiors are responsible for administration in each Province. A province may have one or more delegations within it. A Superior administers each residence of the Idente Missionaries.
## Ministry
In the Diocese of Novaliches (Philippines) the Institute runs the Holy Family residence for Senior Citizens.
Since 1994, the Idente Missionaries have administered the Parish of Santa Maria in the Bronx. In 2014, they assumed administration of the Parish of Our Lady of Loretto in Hempstead, NY.
## Foundations
The *Idente Family* is made up of lay people who share the spirit of the Institute, but do not profess vows. The *Idente School* is a school for theological and philosophical studies. Its headquarters is in Rome, Italy. The *Idente Youth* is a foundation to promote idealism among youth. The *Fernando Rielo Foundation* publishes books and works of the Founder. It also encourages culture and poetry

# My-Otome Zwei
is a Japanese OVA anime series, created by Sunrise. Directed by Masakazu Obara and written by Hiroyuki Yoshino, it consists of four episodes, which were released across three-month intervals and is the sequel to the original *My-Otome* anime series. It is published in Japan by Bandai Visual and North America initially by Bandai Entertainment. At Otakon 2013, Funimation Entertainment had announced that they have rescued *My-Otome Zwei*, along with a handful of other former BEI titles. They also announced at the 2017 New York Comic Con that they will release My-HiMe, My-Otome, and a My-Otome Zwei + My-Otome 0: S.ifr pack, all on Blu-Ray + DVD combo packs on January 8, 2018. They will start pre-orders on October 15, 2017.
Similar to its predecessors *My-HiME* and *My-Otome*, the title is a pun, which derives from the visual similarity of the Latin letter \"Z\" (from the German word *zwei* \"two\") to the kanji \"乙\", the first of the two characters in the word 乙女 *otome* \"maiden\". On the logo, the two similar glyphs are shown superimposed on one another.
## Plot
*My-Otome Zwei* takes place one year after the events of My-Otome. Arika is now a full-fledged Otome (though still under the tutelage of Miss Maria as she has not yet received enough credits to graduate) and Nagi is incarcerated in a prison somewhere in Aries. The various nations are at peace with one another and plan to hold S.O.L.T. (Strategic Otome Limitation Talks) to discuss limiting the numbers of Otome.
A mission to destroy a meteor threatening to collide with Earl sets into motion a chain of events which result in a mysterious shadowy figure attacking Garderobe and several Otome as well as a new, more powerful version of Slave appearing across the planet. To make matters worse, Queen Mashiro disappears following an argument with Arika. The series follows Arika\'s search for Mashiro as well as Garderobe\'s attempts to uncover the truth behind the shadowy figure.

In 1985, the station switched to an album-oriented rock format and rebranded as \"J105\" after KUUB (now KAWO) dropped the format that same year. KJOT became a classic rock station around 2003 branded as \"J105: Classic Rock, That Rocks\". In 2006, the station changed the slogan to \"J105: Everything That Rocks\".
At midnight on May 14, 2010, KJOT became a mainstream rock station branded as \"Variety Rock 105.1\". On November 12, 2012, KJOT began stunting with Christmas music, with a new format planned when the holiday songs ended. After Christmas, KJOT returned to classic rock, still using the \"Variety Rock\" branding.
### New ownership {#new_ownership}
Journal Communications (KJOT\'s owner) and E. W. Scripps Company announced on July 30, 2014, that the two companies would merge to create a new broadcast company under the E. W. Scripps Company name that will own the two companies\' broadcast properties, including KJOT. The transaction was completed in 2015.
On March 27, 2017, KJOT returned to its former \"J105\" branding.
In January 2018, Scripps announced that it would sell all of its radio stations. In August 2018, Lotus Communications announced that it would acquire Scripps\' Boise & Tucson clusters for \$8 million. The sale was completed on December 12.
### Adult hits (2021--present) {#adult_hits_2021present}
On March 13, 2021, Lotus Communications announced KJOT would drop its rock format after 35 years and flip to adult hits, as \"105-1 Jack FM\" on March 15. The change took place at midnight. The last song on J105 was \"Knockin\' on Heaven\'s Door\" by Guns N\' Roses, while the first song on Jack FM was \"One Week\" by Barenaked Ladies.
The Jack FM format is syndicated across the U.S. and Canada, and is aired in cities such as Los Angeles, Dallas and Vancouver. KJOT\'s format is in competition with KSRV-FM (\"Bob FM 96-1\"), a different brand of Adult Hits.

# Robert Irving III
**Robert Irving III** (born October 27, 1953) is an American pianist, composer, arranger and music educator.
A native of Chicago, Irving was one of a group of young Chicago musicians that, in the late \'70s and early \'80s, formed the nucleus of Miles Davis\' recording and touring bands. Irving left the Davis band in 1989, and has gone on to a prolific career as a touring musician, composer, arranger, producer, educator and interdisciplinary artist. Irving resumed his career as a recording artist under his own name with the 2007 release of *New Momentum* and more recently with the release of \"Our Space In Time\" by Robert Irving III Generations (featuring students Irving mentored through the Jazz Institute of Chicago Jazz Links program).
## Early background {#early_background}
Irving\'s first musical instrument was the bugle, followed by a range of brass instruments, including cornet, French horn, and valve trombone. While he was a brass player, Irving also studied piano to further his knowledge of musical theory.
Irving\'s family moved to North Carolina in 1969 and remained there until 1978. While in North Carolina, Irving continued his studies in musical theory, played trombone in concert bands, keyboards for pop/funk and fusion bands, and organ and piano for gospel groups. The Hammond organ and keyboards became his primary instruments.
After returning to Chicago in 1978, Irving connected with a number of young musicians, including Vince Wilburn Jr. and Darryl Jones who would later join him in the Miles Davis band. These musicians formed a series of bands, including Data and AL7. In 1979, AL7 was invited by arranger/producer Tom Tom 84 to record some demo tapes for Maurice White (of Earth, Wind, & Fire).
## The Miles Davis connection {#the_miles_davis_connection}
In 1980, an Irving composition entitled *Space* was played for Wilburn\'s uncle, Miles Davis. *Space* captured Davis\' interest, and led to Irving, Wilburn and their band being invited to New York for Davis\' first recording sessions in several years.
The fruits of these sessions were included on the 1981 album, *The Man with the Horn*, the first recording Davis had released in six years. The title track, *The Man With the Horn*, was co-written and arranged by Irving, who also co-wrote and arranged another track titled *Shout*.
Returning to Chicago, Irving continued his composing, arranging, and producing; notably working on albums for Ramsey Lewis (1981 and 1982), Randy Hall, and others.
Also, in 1982, Irving became musical director and pianist for the Kuumba Theater production of *The Little Dreamer... a Nite in the Life of Bessie Smith* and studied stride-piano with the legendary Little Brother Montgomery, who had composed music for the show.
Then, in 1983, Davis invited Irving to once again return to work with him as composer, arranger and co-producer.

# Robert Irving III
## The Davis--Irving collaborations {#the_davisirving_collaborations}
The initial Miles Davis--Robert Irving III collaboration resulted in the album *Decoy*. Irving then joined Davis\' touring band, where he remained for five years, holding the keyboard chair and the role of musical director.
Notably, in the role of musical director, Irving was responsible for musical arrangements, rehearsals (which Davis never attended), and musical liaison between Davis and group members that included some of the leading musicians of the era, such as Al Foster, John Scofield, Bill Evans, Mike Stern, Gary Thomas, Bob Berg, Kenny Garrett, Hiram Bullock, Robben Ford, Joseph \"Foley\" McCreary and Darryl Jones. In those roles, Irving listened to recordings of each night\'s performance with Davis to cull what were spontaneous creative ideas \... that then became a permanent part of the group\'s musical arrangements. Some of that work is finely exhibited in *The Complete Miles Davis at Montreux* collection.
Irving also collaborated with Davis (as composer, producer and arranger) on the 1985 recording *You\'re Under Arrest*. The album included Grammy-nominated covers of "Time After Time" and "Human Nature."
While working on the material for *You\'re Under Arrest*, Irving added to his arranging credentials by studying with Gil Evans, who, decades earlier, had famously arranged some of Miles Davis' most celebrated recordings.
Later, Irving extended this musical direction on projects such as his film score for the feature film *Street Smart* also with André Lassalle on guitar (1985), starring Morgan Freeman and Christopher Reeve---with Miles Davis as featured instrumentalist.
Irving remained with the Davis band until 1989, remaining close to Davis until Davis' death in 1991.
Irving is also a painter. When he was a member of Miles Davis' band, Davis encouraged him to take up painting. Irving actually began painting regularly in 1997 and has seen his work exhibited in a number of galleries.
## Musician, bandleader, producer, composer, arranger {#musician_bandleader_producer_composer_arranger}
Since leaving the Davis band, Irving has been based in Chicago and has kept active on many musical fronts, continuing to develop as a pianist, arranger, composer and producer. He has performed, as leader and sideman, with a list of musicians that includes David Murray, Wallace Roney, Eddie Henderson, Lenny White, and fellow Miles Davis alumni Darryl Jones, Vince Wilburn Jr., and Al Foster. He has contributed to these settings as a composer, arranger and pianist.
Irving released his first solo album in 1988, *Midnight Dream,* which featured John Scofield, Darryl Jones, Buddy Williams, André Lassalle and Phil Perry.
In addition, Irving recorded as leader and music director of the Davis alumni bands ESP and ESP2, on a number of David Murray albums, as a member of Khalil El Zabar\'s Juba Collective, and with Wallace Roney. He has produced albums for, among others, Terri Lyne Carrington (Real Life Story, 1990) and More to Say (Real Life Story: NextGen.) (E1 Entertainment, 2009). In the Chicago community, Irving has taught and lectured at numerous schools, workshops and community events. He founded Chicago\'s African Arts Ensemble (an 18-piece pan-African jazz group commissioned by the African Festival of the Arts).
Irving also composed the score for George Tillman, Jr.\'s 1995 feature film, *Scenes for the Soul*, and, composed for the Miami Chamber Symphony (*Mademoiselle Mandarin*, a concerto for jazz harp and orchestra, featuring Swiss harpist, Markus Klinko).
## 2006-2007: *New Momentum* {#new_momentum}
With the 2007 release of *New Momentum* on the Sonic Portraits Entertainment label, Irving returned to recording under his own name. The CD was co-produced by Terri Lyne Carrington. The CD is a Billboard Magazine \"critics\' choice\" (highly recommended for musical merit). An excerpt of a *The Billboard Review* article - April 7, 2007 (by Dan Ouellette):
> Conspicuously absent as a leader since serving as Miles Davis' fusion-oriented musical director in the '80s, Robert Irving III returns in dramatic fashion on "New Momentum," the premiere release for indie Sonic Portraits.
>
> The disc is largely an acoustic piano trio date, highlighted by Irving originals and two nods to his mentor's '60s repertoire: a buoyant cover of Davis' "Seven Steps to Heaven" and a refined take on Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti".
>
> What's so remarkable about Irving's return from obscurity is the fresh, vital sound spurred by his pianistic dynamism, and infused with an imaginative improvisational approach that encompasses dancing tempo shifts and harmonic curves.
>
> Bassist Buster Williams costars, with arco support on the ballad "Primordial Waters", low-end punch to the title track and a walking bass conversation with Irving on the midtempo groove tune "Always . . . Sometimes".

## *Sketches of Brazil* {#sketches_of_brazil}
Robert Irving III conducted the debut performance of his "Sonic Portraits Orchestra" in the world premiere of "Sketches of Brazil to a record crowd of 12,500 people, receiving several standing ovations. The piece is his orchestral homage to his mentors, Miles Davis and Gil Evans, on the 50th anniversary of the recording of the pair's classic, "Sketches of Spain." The performance on the Jay Pritzker Pavilion stage at Millennium Park, in Chicago on Thursday, August 13, 2009, featured trumpeter Wallace Roney as the principal soloist, and classical guitarist Fareed Haque as special guest, along with Brazilian percussionists Dede Sampaio and Felipe Fraga, along with Miles Evans on trumpet in the orchestra (son of Gil Evans) in a blend of 33 classical and jazz musicians conducted by Irving at times from the piano. The Jazz Institute of Chicago sponsored a Symposium prior to the event with special guests from the families of Miles Davis and Gil Evans. Chicago Tribune Critic Howard Reich said of Irving\'s work, "Extraordinarily ambitious... a tour de force of orchestral writing." This project, although videotaped with five cameras and professional audio recording, has not yet been released.

# Haifa Theatre
The **Haifa Theatre** (*תיאטרון חיפה*; *Teat\'ron Kheifa*) is the first municipal theater company of Haifa, Israel.
## Background
Haifa Theater, Israel\'s first municipal theater, was established by Haifa mayor Abba Hushi. Together with the support of the Haifa City Council. Founded in 1961, the Haifa Theater employs Jewish and Arab actors, and has an international reputation for performing provocative works. Its first director was Yosef Milo. This theater was the first municipal theater in Israel as well as the first to employ a marketing campaign to promote seasonal tickets. It aims to attract local residents to theatrical creativity and to increase cultural awareness in the city. The Haifa Theater is one that encourages all forms of theatrical productions. It acts as a springboard for Israeli playwrights and producers and encourages original works.
The troupe performs eight to 10 plays a year to a subscription audience of more than 30,000. It performs in cities, kibbutzim and settlements throughout Israel, and regularly presents works of modern theater in Hebrew and Arabic.
The troupe\'s home base is at the Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Theater of Haifa in Haifa\'s Hadar Hacarmel neighborhood.
Several producers who have started their professional careers in this theater include Hanoch Levin, Hillel Mittlepunkt, Yehoshua Sobol, A. B. Yehoshua, Yoseph Bar Yosef, and Danny Horowitz

# Munda Airport
Pilot info {{!}} Gizo, Solomon Islands \|url=<https://www.sibconline.com.sb/newly-upgraded-munda-international-airport-runway-to-boost-business-and-tourism/%7Caccess-date=2024-02-20> \|website=sibconline.com.sb \|language=en-US}}
}} **Munda International Airport** `{{airport codes|MUA|AGGM}}`{=mediawiki} is an international airport adjacent to the town of Munda, Western Province in Solomon Islands.
Originally built by Japanese forces during World War II and further developed by the U. S. Naval Construction Battalions 24 and 73 following its capture. After the war, the airfield became a commercial airport for regional flights. In 2015, a New Zealand government aid and development project significantly upgraded the field to an international airport.[1](https://www.rnz.co.nz) The upgrade included the removal of a large amount of unexploded ordnance left behind by vacating Japanese and US forces. Although there were no international flights scheduled by 2019, the main economic purpose of the upgrade is to serve as an alternate field for international flights to Honiara International Airport, significantly reducing the fuel load and improving the economics of the flight. For example, prior to the Munda upgrade, a flight from Brisbane to Honiara had to carry sufficient fuel to return to Brisbane because that was the nearest viable alternate.
In 2023, a new international terminal building was opened.

### World War II {#world_war_ii}
The Munda Point airfield was first built in World War II by Japanese forces. A Japanese directive in late October 1942 called for an air base to be built at Munda Point, about 150 miles northwest of Guadalcanal and Henderson Field. Construction began in mid-November with a great emphasis on keeping the forward airfield secret. The majority of the airfield work was done before clearing the main runway and surfacing it with crushed coral. By wiring the tops of palm trees to keep them in place, allowing work to initially escape detection. Finally the trunks were cut away, and runway completed.
Despite these efforts, reports of the strip were relayed to Guadalcanal via a Solomon Island coastwatcher resident in Munda, Danny Kennedy, who notified the British Solomon Island Defence Force in Honiara by radio. Subsequent aerial reconnaissance spotted increased barge traffic and evidence of crushed coral being prepared at the strip, but the Japanese succeeded in buying enough time to complete a single 1094 ft by 44 ft all weather runway for fighters operational on 17 December 1942.
Opened on 1 December 1942, it was used by the Japanese Navy and Japanese Army Air Force as a forward operating base. As soon as it was operational, the airfield was hampered by the observation of Australian, New Zealand and Solomon Islander coastwatchers in the area, including Kennedy and D.C. Horton who was observing the airfield from Rendova. It was heavily bombed from the air by the Allies prior to the American landing.
Munda airfield, also known as Munda or Munda Point Airfield, was the principal objective of the New Georgia campaign. Following the Allied Landings on Rendova on 30 June 1943, the Drive on Munda Point during July and the Japanese New Georgia counterattack in Mid-July, Munda airfield was captured by the US Army XIV Corps forces after fierce fighting in the jungle area. The high ground around the airfield was captured on August 5, 1943.
Once seized, Seabees from the 47th and 63rd Naval Construction Battalions improved and expanded the airbase for U.S. operations. The first American aircraft landed at Munda on August 14, 1943 with landings by F4U Corsairs piloted by Robert Owen of VMF-215, a 44th Fighter Squadron (44th FS) P-40 Warhawk and a J2F Duck with Marine Brigadier General Francis P. Mulcahy aboard

# Race: The Power of an Illusion
***Race: The Power of an Illusion*** is a three-part documentary series produced by California Newsreel that investigates the idea of race in society, science and history. The educational documentary originally screened on American public television and was primarily funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Ford Foundation and PBS.
## Series overview {#series_overview}
This three-hour documentary challenges the idea of race as biology and traces our current notions to the 19th century. It also demonstrates how race nevertheless has a continuing impact through institutions and social policies.
## Chapters
- **Chapter One** - The Difference Between Us
Examines the contemporary science - including genetics - that challenges our common-sense assumptions that human beings can be bundled into three or four fundamentally different groups according to their physical traits.
- **Chapter Two** - The Story We Tell
Uncovers the roots of the race concept in North America, the 19th-century science that legitimated it, and how it came to be held so fiercely in the Western imagination. The episode is an eye-opening tale of how race served to rationalize, even justify, American social inequalities as \"natural.\"
- **Chapter Three** - The House We Live In
Asks, if race is not biology, what is it? This episode uncovers how race resides not in nature but in politics, economics and culture. It reveals how our social institutions \"make\" race by disproportionately channeling resources, power, status and wealth to white people

# Take the High Ground!
***Take the High Ground!*** is a 1953 American war film directed by Richard Brooks and starring Richard Widmark and Karl Malden as drill sergeants who must transform a batch of everyday civilians into soldiers during the Korean War. The film presents a highly fictionalized portrayal of army life.
## Plot
In May 1953, a new group of Army recruits at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, encounter their drill sergeants, SSG Laverne Holt (Karl Malden) and the deeply troubled SFC Thorne Ryan (Richard Widmark). After Ryan\'s caustic appraisal of the recruits, Holt vows to make soldiers out of them during their sixteen weeks of basic training. The two men served together in Korea and are combat veterans. Ryan, though, resents his stateside duty and repeatedly applies for transfer back to the Korean front.
One night, the men cross the border to Mexico for recreation. In a bar, Ryan and Holt see a beautiful woman, Julie Mollison (Elaine Stewart), buying drinks for a group of young recruits, including some of their own. Later that evening, the two sergeants escort the inebriated Julie to her apartment, and Ryan finds himself drawn to her.
Training becomes more intensive. Ryan exposes his men to tear gas to prepare them for the harsh conditions of battle. Ryan and Holt return to the bar one night, and find Julie sitting alone. When the crude MSG Vince Opperman (Bert Freed) insults Julie, she runs out of the bar in tears, and Holt comforts her. Ryan and Opperman fight, and Opperman reveals that Julie was married to a soldier who was killed in Korea shortly after she left him.
One day, recruit Lobo Naglaski (Steve Forrest) visits the camp chaplain to confess his murderous feelings toward Ryan, but comes to see that the sergeant has very little time in which to do a tough job. Tensions arise between Ryan and Holt, both over Ryan\'s callous treatment of the men and Holt\'s relationship with Julie. Ryan puts his men through increasingly tough drills; during field training, a bitter confrontation erupts between the two sergeants. Holt slugs Ryan and walks away.
Later, Ryan calls on Julie at her apartment, and they fall into a passionate embrace. She resists his further advances, however; he becomes insulting and casts aspersions on her virtue, chiding her for having given her husband \"the brush\" when she did.
Recruit Donald Quentin Dover IV (Robert Arthur) refuses to throw a hand grenade and, after the group has bivouacked as part of more field drills, he \"goes over the hill\", intending to desert. Ryan tracks him down and gives the young man a second chance, confessing that his own father had been a deserter.
As the training period draws to a close, Ryan returns to Julie\'s apartment and discovers she has moved out. He finds Julie and Holt at the train station. After Holt leaves, Ryan apologizes for his behavior and asks Julie to marry him, but she sadly points out that he is married to the Army. Outside the train station, Ryan and Holt silently make their peace. The men finish basic training, and as the new soldiers march by during their graduation exercises, Ryan proudly points them out to a fresh group of recruits.

# Yandina Airport
**Yandina Airport** `{{airport codes|XYA|AGGY}}`{=mediawiki} is an airport on Mbanika in the Solomon Islands.
## History
The 33rd Naval Construction Battalion arrived on Banika Island in late February 1943 and commenced construction of a fighter airfield. By 13 April a basic airfield known as **Airfield 1**, **Renard Airfield** or **South Field** was usable. The 35th Battalion took over construction and by mid-May had completed a coral 3100 ft by 150 ft runway. By the end of June a taxiway, two warm-up areas, 60 ft by 450 ft, and 25 revetments had been completed and work had commenced on lengthening the runway to 6000 ft to make it usable by medium bombers. The 33rd Battalion had also erected an aviation-gasoline tank farm of eight 1,000-barrel tanks, together with piping and fittings. Enemy bombing on June 25, 1943, caused considerable damage to the Tank Farm. One tank was set on fire and was completely destroyed; three others were punctured by shrapnel. The piping was also damaged. Repairs were completed in five days. Gasoline service to the airfield was maintained without interruption

# Cascando
***Cascando*** is a radio play by Samuel Beckett. It was written in French in December 1961, subtitled ***Invention radiophonique pour musique et voix***, with music by the Franco-Romanian composer Marcel Mihalovici. It was first broadcast on France Culture on 13 October 1963 with Roger Blin (*L\'Ouvreur*) and Jean Martin (*La Voix*). The first English production was on 6 October 1964 on BBC Radio 3 with Denys Hawthorne (Opener) and Patrick Magee (Voice).
\"The play was originally to be called ***Calando***, a musical term meaning \'diminishing in tone\' (equivalent to *diminuendo or decrescendo*), but Beckett changed it when ORTF officials pointed out that *calendos* was the slang word for camembert in French.\" The term *cascando* (\'cascades\') involves the decrease of volume and the deceleration of tempo.
*Cascando* is also the title of a 1936 poem by Beckett.
## Structure
\"Beckett first wrote out the complete part for Opener, inserting the spaces for Voice and Music, before writing out the complete part for Voice. The music was then composed separately by Marcel Mihalovici, who, of course, at that time had the text as guidance, and only then were the three parts combined and produced in the studio by \[the director\].\"
\"The duration of the individual interjections for Voice and Music correspond to each other, so that when Voice speaks for ten seconds, for instance, Music too is held for the same amount of time. Furthermore, when Voice repeats his foregoing account, Music too plays a slightly varied repeat of its previous phrase. There is a musical crescendo at the end of the play, and a gradual fade-out, which corresponds to the build-up of anticipation in Voice\'s documentation of his protagonist\'s progression towards his goal and Voice\'s own longing for the close of the story to end all stories.\"

## Synopsis
The play opens with a familiar Beckettian theme, the search to put an end to language: \"---story . . . if you could finish it . . . you could rest . . . sleep . . . not before\". "The shape of the narrative itself is indicative of the mind already in the process of degenerating towards an impasse. Voice alternates between talking about the story-telling itself, or the need to find the story to end all stories, and narrating \[what it hopes will be that final\] story.\"
The persona has been divided up. \"Voice is aware that his own identity is bound up with his fiction (\'I'm there ... somewhere\') and that it is his own quest to find himself." Why words *and* music? Perhaps to emphasise the limitations of words, a life-long preoccupation with Beckett. Broadly speaking words convey meaning, music feeling; Opener is trying to combine these two elements to tell a more rounded version of his story. \"If Voice is Opener\'s own mental voice, and Music is his emotional faculty, then Woburn may be the objectification of Opener himself.\"
*Cascando* involves a fear of finishing in the wrong place, or in the wrong way. At the end of the play the three \'characters\' enjoy a moment when they \'speak\' in unison. \"As though they had linked their arms,\" says Opener who then pronounces his creation, \"Good.\" The play ends, the actors pack up and go home. For many it may not be a satisfactory ending -- it lacks closure -- but it has reached *an* end, Woburn drifts out to sea. The open ending is a mainstay of the film industry epitomized by Shane\'s riding off into the distance at the end of George Stevens\'s 1953 film of the same name. This is as close as Beckett comes to one of his characters sailing off into the sunset.
Beckett has said of *Cascando*: \"It is an unimportant work but the best I have to offer. It does I suppose in a way show what passes for my mind and what passes for its work.\"

## Synopsis
### Opener
\"His opening statement, \'It is the month of May . . . for me,\' suggests, as critics have remarked, that it is the time for creation or \"ritual renewing\". Approximately two thirds of the way into the play, he says \'Yes, correct, the month of May. You know, the reawakening\'. He repeats, a little later, \'Yes, correct, the month of May, the close of May,\' but at this point he reminds us that the days are long in this month, so that their ends are always postponed."
At one point Opener reveals how he has been ridiculed by people saying, \"it\'s in his head\". He is a writer/story-teller -- his lives in his head -- but the locals (his critics) obviously don\'t appreciate his work. He used to object but he doesn\'t even try and explain anymore, he doesn\'t even respond to them nowadays. He\'s resigned himself to the fact that he is misunderstood. He recalls painful trips he used to make, one to the village and a second to the inn. Woburn too has developed a fear of interacting with people.
Opener identifies strongly with Woburn, It may be that rather than simply a story this is a plan of action, a run through of what he either intends to do or wishes he could do, a Thanatos wish. Part of him wants to give up but the writer in him (personified as Voice) can\'t give up. Opener\'s remark, \"I\'m afraid to open. But I must open. So I open,\" is all too familiar Beckett reasoning, echoing the Unnamable\'s \"you must go on, I can\'t go on, I\'ll go on\", the leitmotif which Beckett embraces in all his work. Like other Beckett characters (e.g. May in *Footfalls*), writing, although clearly not the most pleasant of activities, sustains him: "they don't see what I live on." (Roberta Satow\'s article on \"repetition compulsion\" makes interesting reading here: <https://web.archive.org/web/20100117153938/http://www.robertasatow.com/psych.html>).
We think of Samuel Beckett as a writer but in reality that was only one aspect of the whole man. His output was certainly not large and he was plagued with long bouts of 'Writer\'s block\', always stuck \"between the limitations of words and the infinity of feelings\" as Kafka put it, and yet this aspect of him kept pushing him a little further from the shore, metaphorically speaking. As he got older and older he must have considered that every work might be his last. He must have thought that with *Stirrings Still*; as its title suggests, after all this time his imagination was still stirring, still clinging on for dear life.
### Voice
When instructed by Opener Voice begins mid-sentence, reminiscent of Krapp\'s taped diary entries. When told to stop he does in the same way. Cutting off the voice makes it sound like Voice is pre-recorded and Opener is simply switching on and off, like Macgillycuddy in *Rough for Radio I*, but this isn\'t the case.
Voice jumps straight to describing his ongoing need to complete a last story, to say what needs to be said, and keep on with this tale until its end; then he will be able to \"rest \[and\] sleep ... not before.\" Voice is desperate. Like Henry in *Embers* he\'s never been able to finish any of his stories and he knows he won\'t have any peace until he does.
Throughout the play Voice returns to these thoughts, willing himself on, determined this will be his final attempt, convinced this is the right story. The ache in his voice is tangible -- \"Come on! Come on!\" -- as if everything has been invested in this story\'s ending. Towards the close of the play Opener joins him in this geeing-on closely followed by Voice confirming, \"---at last ... we\'re there\" acknowledging that he has not been entirely alone in the creative process.

## Synopsis
### Woburn
Beckett told his friend, the scholar Alec Reid that this play is \"about the character Woburn who never appears\". The story that Voice devises concerns this man (whose very name \"intimates a stream of woe\"). In the original French text, he is called *Maunu* (\"naked miseries\"). Woburn/Maunu has had a long life and a misfortunate one which has changed him but he\'s still recognizable as the man he once was five or even ten years earlier.
He hides in a shed until nightfall so no one he used to know notices him. When he sees through the window it\'s getting dark he slips out. Two routes present themselves: "right the sea ... left the hills ... he has the choice." "Voice delivers his lines in a rapid, panting, almost unintelligible stream, very much like Mouth in *Not I*. The man makes his decision and heads down the steep slope towards the sea. Beckett refers to the road as a \"boreen\" which gives us a specific location for the story, Ireland. All of a sudden he falls flat on his face in the mud. Woburn, we learn, is a huge man, dressed in an old coat with a broad brimmed hat jammed on his head. He stumbles along with the aid of a walking stick and so it takes some effort to get back on his feet.
Vague memories pass through his head, a cave, a hollow, some sort of shelter. He\'s been here before, a long time ago perhaps but he is still anxious in case he is identified; the night is too bright and the beach offers no cover but he\'s in luck, there\'s not a soul about. He goes down again, this time onto the sand. He can hear the sea now. It represents peace. He gets up but has to struggle on knee-deep in the sand. He reaches the stones, falls, heaves himself up. He tries to hurry. In the distance he can see the lights of an island.
Woburn finds the shell of a boat. It has \"no tiller ... no thwarts ... no oars\" but he drags it free and in doing so slips once more, this time into the bilge. He manages to cling on, possibly to the gunwale, and it drags him towards the island but that\'s not his goal. He passes it and allows himself to be pulled out to sea (reminiscent of the character in *The End*). He\'s there, \"nowhere\", in the middle of nowhere.
But peace eludes him -- he keeps clinging on, torn between the will to live and the need to die -- and so the end eludes Voice -- desperate for sleep, desperate to be done -- who keeps hanging on to the end of his story waiting for it to end but incapable of actually ending it. He is unable to give himself up, as Beckett wrote in Murphy, to \"the positive peace that comes when something gives way \... to the Nothing.\"

## Synopsis
### Music
Voice has two strands, the story about Woburn and his personal need to complete this story. Music never accompanies the story itself, only those parts of the text where Voice is self-referential. However, when music follows the Woburn story it reflects what has just been said, it extracts the emotional component from it and presents it in isolation. It is as if Opener has just finished reading the text Voice has written and this is his emotional response to it.
There are very few musical cues/clues in the text. In the original French \"libretto\", as Vivian Mercier calls the text, there are only two \'musical\' stage directions: "*brève*" ("*brief*"), used twice and "*faiblissant*" ("*weakening*") which occurs only once. Mercier fancifully calls *Cascando*, along with *Words and Music*, \"a new genre -- invisible opera.\"
Voice\'s story is "accompanied by surges of non-verbal consciousness, the swell of emotions expressed in the music." In correspondence with Claus Zilliacus, Mihalovici, who composed the original score, made it clear that he considered his music to be a character: "For *Cascando* ... it was not a matter of a musical commentary on the text but of creating, by musical means, a third character, so to speak, who sometimes intervenes alone, sometimes along with the narrator, without however merely being the accompaniment for him." but Ruby Cohn maintains that "it actually functions like background music.\" The tape of that first broadcast \"was accidentally erased. This is especially unfortunate since Beckett took an active part in the rehearsals.\"
Humphey Searle\'s approach was to work with leitmotifs: \"The chief motif, \'Woburn\', would, Humphrey thought, be associated with the flute. Other motifs would be the \'island\' and \'the journey\', one linked with ethereal light and space, the other with restlessness and images of falling, getting up again, walking with a stick and so on. Some of these were humorous - \'same old stick \... same old broadbrim\' - some darkly agitated.\"
A more recent version was composed by Martin Pearlman on a commission by the 92nd Street Y in New York for the Beckett centennial (2006). Lloyd Schwartz of the Boston Phoenix wrote that \"Pearlman\'s evocative music seemed so right for these unsettling plays, it\'s now hard for me to imagine them without it.\"

## Composers
"Although the general contract specifies that *Cascando* should not be performed without Mihalovici\'s music,\" a number of other composers have worked on various productions and have created their own works based on the play.

# Lifuka Island Airport
**Lifuka Island Airport** `{{airport codes|HPA|NFTL}}`{=mediawiki}, also known as **Salote Pilolevu Airport** or **Haʻapai Airport**, is an airport on Lifuka in Tonga. The airport is located 5 km north of the capital Panga, and is only served domestically, roughly 40 minutes by flight to Tongatapu and 30 minutes to Vava\'u. Taxis serve the airport, and services include a cafe inside the terminal.
One of the airport\'s more distinctive features is the dirt road intersecting the runway. The road is the only path connecting Lifuka and Foa islands. Gates staffed by airport employees are used to prevent vehicle access during aircraft operations; the rest of the airport is otherwise secured with barbed wire fencing.
There is no aviation fuel or refueling service for aircraft available at the airport.
## History
Royal Tongan Airlines commenced operations to Ha\'apai in the mid 1980s with CASA 212 aircraft. Around this time the airfield was improved, allowing Twin Otter operations to commence.
HS 748 operations followed this before the Short 360 began services on the route, flying to Ha\'apai until the airline\'s collapse.
Following the collapse of Royal Tongan Airlines, Peau Vava\'u was formed on 27 May 2004 as Tonga\'s first domestic-only airline, and remained the only airline in Tonga for a short period of time as a one-airline policy was imposed. This policy was revoked in 2005, the second domestic operating license being taken up by Airlines Tonga later that year.
Peau Vava\'u operated flights to Ha\'apai with leased DC-3s in June 2004, with Convair CV-580 flights commencing in May 2005 subleased from Reef Air and Air Chathams.
Air Fiji formed Airlines Tonga in December 2005 as a joint venture with Tongan travel agency Teta Tours. The airline was created to provide domestic services to Tonga, Ha\'apai among the destinations.
Air Fiji chartered New Zealand operator Air Chathams to fly services in July 2006 for Airlines Tonga with Convair CV-580 aircraft for about a month.
In 2006, Peau Vava\'u cut all flights after damage to its office in November. The airline never resumed flights. This made Airlines Tonga the only domestic carrier in Tonga until its collapse in August 2008.
On 14 April 2008, Chathams Pacific began five weekly flights to Ha\'apai from Tongatapu. Services were inaugurated after the failure of Airlines Tonga and Peau Vava\'u in the preceding years to fill the gap they left. This made the airline the only operator for some time.
Ha\'apai flights were once again provided by Convair CV-580s, but also a Fairchild Metroliner and a Beech Queen Air.
With the announcement of Chinese funding for a new airline to compete with Chathams Pacific in early 2012, CEO Craig Emeny announced a withdrawal of flights from 2 March 2013.
Real Tonga supposedly would commence operation with two leased Harbin Y-12s on 4 March, however due to delays in aircraft arrivals, Air Chathams was chartered to fly services for the week following the end of operations.
Real Tonga would later receive a their own Y-12 and a Xian MA60 amid controversy over the type\'s safety. The MA60 was grounded in February 2015 due to these concerns. The airline has repetitively grounded the type since, but as of 2020, it\'s reported to still be operating.
In May 2016 Real Tonga commenced Saab 340 operations to Ha\'apai.
The airport\'s deteriorating runway surface has been reported as the cause of multiple incidents of foreign object debris damages to aircraft operating to the airfield in 2015
