# KCIX **KCIX** (105.9 FM, \"Mix 106\") is a commercial radio station located in Garden City, Idaho, broadcasting to the Boise, Idaho, area. KCIX airs an adult top 40 music format. ## Personalities The station has cycled through more than a dozen morning show combinations since the departure of popular host Kate McGwire in 2016. Its ratings have plunged. Chris and Ryan in the Morning took over weekday morning duties (5AM-10AM) on the station in November 2022. The show features segments with listeners, local content, and lifestyle topics. The morning drive show is followed by middays with Deanna from 10AM to 2PM before Marco takes over in afternoon drive from 2PM to 7PM. At 7PM, Pop Crush Nights with Donny Meacham airs which features celebrity gossip and pop culture news. Lauryn Snapp hosts on the weekend. The station features traffic cut-ins shared with corporate sister stations, hosted by Dave Burnett and Robin Scott. ## History KCIX signed on January 1, 1985, with an adult contemporary format branded as *K-106*. In 1998, the station moved into a hot AC direction. In 1999, KCIX rebranded as *Mix 106*, and shifted away songs before 1980 to focus more on the 1980s and 1990s. On November 16, 2006, Clear Channel Communications planned to sell 448 of its radio stations outside the top 100 markets including KCIX, along with Boise\'s sister stations including KSAS-FM, KTMY (now KAWO), KXLT-FM, KIDO, and KFXD. In March 2007, Peak Broadcasting LLC bought the former Clear Channel-owned stations. In 2011, Mix 106 silently began adding more contemporary pop currents, moving the station in an Adult Top 40 direction. On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare Media would purchase Peak Broadcasting\'s stations, including KCIX. The deal was part of Cumulus Media\'s acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare swapped Peak\'s stations in Fresno, California, to Cumulus for its stations in Dubuque, Iowa, and Poughkeepsie, New York. Peak, Townsquare, and Dial Global were all controlled by Oaktree Capital Management. The sale to Townsquare was completed on November 14, 2013

# Walter Rosenhain **Dr. Walter Rosenhain** ForMemRS (24 August 1875 -- 17 March 1934) was a German-born Australian metallurgist. ## Early life {#early_life} Rosenhain was born on 24 August 1875 in Berlin, German Empire, the son of Moritz Rosenhain, a merchant, and his wife Friederike, a daughter of Rabbi Benjamin Yosman Fink. The family emigrated to Australia when Walter was five years old, to avoid him having to do military service. ## Education He was educated at Wesley College, Melbourne, and Queen\'s College, University of Melbourne, where he completed his course in civil engineering and was awarded an 1851 exhibition. Rosenhain then did three years research work with Professor James Alfred Ewing at St John\'s College, Cambridge. ## Career On the advice of his professor he took up the microscopic examination of metals, and spent some time at the Royal Mint studying the technique of his new work. This led to the discovery of \"slip bands\" and later, the phenomenon of spontaneous annealing in lead and other soft metals. In 1900 he became scientific adviser to Chance Brothers of Birmingham, glass manufacturers and lighthouse engineers, and for the next six years his work was chiefly concerned with the production of optical glass and lighthouse apparatus. In 1906 Rosenhain became the first superintendent of the department of metallurgy and metallurgical chemistry at the National Physical Laboratory, he held this position until 1931. His department was initially a small one, but grew quickly and eventually became one of the most important metallurgical research laboratories in the world. He appointed the NPL\'s first female scientific staff members in 1915, Marie Laura Violet Gayler and Isabel Hadfield. Rosenhain published a large number of papers and addresses, and his highly trained staff also did much writing, covering the whole field of physical metallurgy, ferrous and non-ferrous. In 1908 Rosenhain published his book on *Glass Manufacture*, a second edition of which, largely re-written, appeared in 1919. Another volume was published in 1914, *An Introduction to the Study of Physical Metallurgy*, 2nd edition 1916, frequently reprinted. A third edition, revised and partly rewritten by John L. Haughton, was published after Rosenhain\'s death, in 1935. Towards the end of 1915 he delivered the Cantor lectures on optical glass before the Royal Society of Arts. These lectures were published as a pamphlet in 1916. In the following year he wrote the essay on \"The Modern Science of Metals\" for *Science and the Nation, Essays by Cambridge Graduates*. In 1927 he was appointed British delegate on the permanent committee of the International Association for Testing Materials, and was elected its president at the Zurich congress held in 1931. Rosenhain was a good linguist and gave lectures and addresses in many countries. He resigned his position at the National Physical Laboratory in 1931 to take up practice in London as a consulting metallurgist. He was president of the Institute of the Optical Society and of the Institute of Metals. Rosenhain was Carnegie silver medallist in 1906 and Bessemer medallist of the Iron and Steel Institute in 1930. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1913 and jointly delivered their Bakerian Lecture in 1899. In 1901, he married Louise, sister of Sir John Monash. He died of cancer in Surrey on 17 March 1934. His wife and two daughters survived him. ## Legacy Rosenhain was a man of strong personality, clear in exposition and an inspiring team leader. He did remarkable work with light alloys, on the mechanism of crystallisation, the mechanical deformation of metals, and the improvement of technical practice. His many papers were published in the *Proceedings of the Royal Society of London*, the *Journal of the Iron and Steel Institute*, and other technical journals. With P. A. Tucker he published in 1908 a volume on *The Alloys of Lead and Tin*, and in 1911, with S. L. Archbutt, one on *The Constitution of the Alloys of Aluminium and Zinc*. The Rosenhain award of the Iron and Steel Institute was created in 1984

# Yuzo Kawashima was a Japanese film director and screenwriter known for his lively comedies. ## Career Kawashima was born in Mutsu, Shimokita District, Aomori Prefecture. After graduating from Meiji University\'s Department of Literature, he entered the Shōchiku studios and served as an assistant director under Minoru Shibuya, Yasujirō Shimazu, Hiroshi Shimizu and others. In 1944, he directed his first film, *The Man Who Has Returned*. After the war, Kawashima made many comedies at Shōchiku, but it was not before his move to Nikkatsu in 1955 that his work received critical acclaim. At Nikkatsu, he directed such notable works as *Burden of Love* (1955), *Suzaki Paradise: Red Light District* (1956, Kawashima\'s own personal favourite of his films), and *Sun in the Last Days of the Shogunate* (1957). In his remaining years, Kawashima worked at multiple studios---Daiei, Tokyo Eiga, and Toho---continuing to create satirical works like *Temptation on Glamour Island* (1959),*Room for Let* (1959), and *The Graceful Brute* (1962), as well as literary adaptations like *Women Are Born Twice* (1961) and *The Temple of Wild Geese* (1962). Kawashima suffered from polio and was known as an excessive drinker. He died in 1963 at the age of 45, having completed 50 films during a career which spanned only 19 years. ## Legacy Kawashima was a key influence on director Shōhei Imamura, who worked as his assistant director. In 1999, *Sun in the Last Days of the Shogunate* was voted the fifth best Japanese film of all time in Kinema Junpō\'s poll of 140 film critics and filmmakers

# Hook (hand tool) A **hook** is a hand tool used for securing and moving loads. It consists of a round wooden handle with a strong metal hook about 8 in long projecting at a right angle from the center of the handle. The appliance is held in a closed fist with the hook projecting between two fingers. This type of hook is used in many different industries, and has many different names. It may be called a **box hook, cargo hook, loading hook, docker\'s hook** when used by longshoremen, and a **baling hook, bale hook**, or **hay hook** in the agricultural industry. Other variants exist, such as in forestry, for moving logs, and a type with a long shaft, used by city workers to remove manhole covers. Smaller hooks may also be used in food processing and transport. ## Dockwork The longshoreman\'s hook was historically used by longshoremen (stevedores). Before the age of containerization, freight was moved on and off ships with extensive manual labor, and the longshoreman\'s hook was the basic tool of the dockworker. The hook became an emblem of the longshoreman\'s profession in the same way that a hammer and anvil are associated with blacksmiths, or the pipe wrench with pipefitters, sprinklerfitters and plumbers. When longshoremen went on strike or retired, it was known as \"hanging up the hook\" or \"slinging the hook\", and the newsletter for retired members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union\'s Seattle Local is called *The Rusty Hook*. A longshoreman\'s hook was often carried by hooking it through the belt. Longshoremen carried various types of hooks depending on the cargo they would handle. Cargo could come in the form of bales, sacks, barrels, wood crates, or it could be stowed individually in the cargo hold of the ship. The primary function of the hook was to protect the hands of the longshoreman from being injured while handling the cargo. Hooks also improved the reach of the worker and allowed greater strength and handling of the cargo. Some cargo items are liable to be damaged if pulled at with a longshoreman\'s hook: hence the \"Use No Hooks\" warning sign. A longshoreman\'s hook looks somewhat intimidating, and as it was also associated with strong, tough dockworkers, it became a commonly used weapon in crime fiction, similar to the ice pick. For example, in an episode of *Alfred Hitchcock Presents* entitled *Shopping for Death*, a character is murdered (off-screen) using a longshoreman\'s hook. It was sometimes used as a weapon and means of intimidation in real life as well; the book *Joey the Hit Man: The Autobiography of a Mafia Killer* states \"One guy who used to work on the docks was called Charlie the Hook. If he didn\'t like you he would pick you up with his hook.\" In the 1957 New York drama film *Edge of the City*, two longshoremen settle their dispute in a deadly baling hook fight. They are also the primary weapon of Spider Splicers in the *BioShock* series, so named due to their use of the hooks to crawl on ceilings and attack unexpectedly. ## Haying A hay hook is slightly different in design from a longshoreman\'s hook, in that the shaft is typically longer. It is used in hay bucking on farms to secure and move bales of hay, which are otherwise awkward to pick up manually. ## Gardening In gardening and agriculture, a variant with a long shaft is used to move large plants. A hook is placed in either side of the baled roots, allowing workers to carry or place the heavy load.

# Hook (hand tool) ## Forestry Called a \"Packhaken\", \"Hebehaken\", or \"Forsthaken\" in German, this type is used in forestry mainly to lift or move firewood. In Sweden, this tool, though slightly different, is called a \"timmerkrok\", which translates as \"timberhook\". It is used mainly by two people to move logs by hooking them in each end

The airport is located 10 km north of the capital Neiafu. The airport has limited direct service, currently through Fiji Airways. Previously services had been provided by Chathams Pacific (until 2013) and Real Tonga (until 2020). In 2020, Lulutai Airlines began service but paused service in January 2023 due to its damaged aircraft needing repairs. Less frequent services connect Vava'u to Ha'apai, Niuafoʻou and Niuatoputapu. Flight time is 50 minutes to Tongatapu, 30 minutes to Ha'apai and a little over one hour to both Niuatoputapu and Niuafo'u. In October 2021 the Tongan Government announced plans for an NZ\$172 million upgrade of the airport, including a longer runway, replacement terminal, and renewable energy plant. The expansion would allow direct flights from New Zealand and Australia, and be funded by a public-private partnership. In December 2024 acting prime minister Samiu Vaipulu announced the airport would be privatised. In February 2025 the new government of ʻAisake Eke reversed the privatisation decision

# Winnie Lightner **Winnie Lightner** (born **Winifred Josephine Reeves**; September 17, 1899 -- March 5, 1971) was an American stage and motion picture actress. Perhaps best known as the man-hungry Mabel in *Gold Diggers of Broadway* (1929), Lightner was often typecast as a wise-cracking gold-digger and was known for her talents as a comedian and singer. She is also noted for introducing the song \"Singin\' in the Bathtub\" in the 1929 motion picture *The Show of Shows*. ## Life and career {#life_and_career} `{{Moresources|section|date=June 2023}}`{=mediawiki} Also known as Winifred Hansen (using the last name of her foster family), she started off in vaudeville at age fifteen and adopting Winnie Lightner as her stage name, she was an immediate success and played the fabled Palace theater in New York City only three months after beginning her career. With vaudeville in decline in the early 1920s, she switched to Broadway revues, where she starred in George White\'s Scandals of 1922, 1923, and 1924, in *Gay Paree* in 1925 and 1926, and in *Harry Delmar\'s Revels* in 1927. In 1928, she made a Vitaphone short in which she sang \"We Love It\", \"Heaven Help a Sailor on a Night Like This\", \"That Brand New Model of Mine\", and \"We\'ve Got a Lot to Learn\". A censorship board in Pennsylvania held up the release of the film because of the content of Lightner\'s songs. According to film historian Alexander Walker, \"Warners asked the censors to merely pass judgment on the visuals -- the censors refused.\" The musical *Gold Diggers of Broadway* was a 1929 triumph and made her a star. Warner Bros. quickly signed her up for additional films. The first of these was *She Couldn\'t Say No* (1930), in which Lightner was cast in a maudlin dramatic role that did not suit her talents. This was followed by *Hold Everything*, a lavish all-Technicolor musical comedy that was a huge hit. It was followed by another highly successful picture, *The Life of the Party*, which was also shot entirely in Technicolor but from which most of the songs were cut prior to release. By the end of 1930, audiences had grown tired of musicals, while Lightner was in the process of shooting three of them: *Sit Tight* (1931), *Gold Dust Gertie* (1931), and *Manhattan Parade* (1932). They all were released with most of the music cut. This was especially noticeable on *Manhattan Parade*, in which even the background music was completely removed. In response to the changes in public tastes, Warner Bros. decided to try another dramatic role for Lightner; the result was a picture called *Side Show* (1931) which proved to be unsuccessful. She appeared in two more comedies, in which she co-starred with Loretta Young -- without songs -- before she left Warner Bros. In the first of these, *Play Girl* (1932), she was billed with her name above the title, but in the second, *She Had to Say Yes* (1933), Young received first billing. ## Family Lightner was the mother of multiple-Emmy-award-winning cinematographer Thomas Del Ruth and was married to film director Roy Del Ruth until his death in 1961. She died in 1971, aged 71, and was interred in the San Fernando Mission Cemetery

# HT3R The **High-Temperature Teaching & Test Reactor (HT^3^R or HT3R)** is a multifaceted energy research facility proposed by the University of Texas of the Permian Basin (UTPB) and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), to be located in Andrews County, Texas. The proposal envisions a 25MWt (Megawatt thermal) reactor operated by a merchant nuclear power operating company with the education and science at the facility managed through an arrangement between LANL and UTPB/UTS (University of Texas System). The original Pre-Conceptual Design (PCD) for the facility was completed in January 2008 by UTPB and General Atomics. The HT^3^R, per the PCD, is a \"Generation IV\" (GEN-IV) gas-cooled (with Helium) reactor with a graphite block core containing fuel "compacts." These compacts are made by mixing graphite with TRISO fuel pellets with Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) which has less than 20% of Uranium-235. However, the "new" planned operating temperature of 700° to 750 °C is well below the previous PCD operating temperature of 850° to 900 °C first called for by the DOE's NGNP program. The HT^3^R will be the experimental cornerstone of a new energy research center at the UTPB. Since the early 1990s, no new university teaching and training reactors have been constructed, and in fact, many across the United States have been shut down. Further, only two other aging water-cooled research reactors, one at the University of Missouri (1966) and one at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (1967), are capable of operating at power levels greater than 10 MWt that can provide useful facilities for fuel qualification, training, and basic advanced research. Neither of these reactors can provide the enhanced capabilities necessary for education, research, and pilot-scale testing for Gen-IV reactor systems. The mission of the HT^3^R is to serve as a national user facility for: - Demonstrating that a Green Freedom^TH^ pilot plant can be used to manufacture synthetic hydrocarbon fuels, in sufficient quantities per kWhr, at remote sites around the world for military and civilian applications. - Performing research and testing to qualify the TRISO LEU fuel for GEN-IV reactors in the US. - Exploring the use of proliferation-resistant fuels in the US, including thorium-based and other advanced fuel cycle concepts. - Performing basic and applied research using the enhanced capabilities offered by a \"Generation IV\" type nuclear reactor system. - Facilitating the education and training of the next generation of nuclear scientists and engineers. This joint effort uses the scientific and technical resources of New Mexico and Texas to enhance national energy security and regional economic development, plus reduce the environmental impact of GEN-IV nuclear reactors plus liquid fuels production and use. These new technologies offer promising concepts for using low-risk technologies to provide security and economic stability for US energy supplies

# Capitol Building, Singapore **Capitol Building**, formerly **Shaws Building** and **Namazie Mansions**, is a historic building at the junction of North Bridge Road and Stamford Road in the Downtown Core of Singapore. The building had since redeveloped along with adjoined Stamford House and both were reopened as a hotel The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore in October 2018. ## History **Namazie Mansions** was built by the architecture firm Keys & Dowdeswell next to the existing structure of the Capitol Theatre, which was built earlier in 1929, and was completed in 1930. It was named after the owner, Mirza Mohamed Ali Namazie. The style of the building is eclectic neoclassical, characterised by somewhat ponderous detailing. Its theatre was one of the very few air-conditioned theatres when it was built by the Namazies, a prominent Persian family to host live shows. By the mid-1930s, there were 10 cinemas, of which the Capitol was the largest and the newest. It opened in 1930 and was followed by the Alhambra, Marlborough, Pavilion, Roxy, Wembley, Tivoli, Empire, Jubilee and Gaiety. As the Mansions fronted the theatre, the large movie billboards announcing the latest films were placed on its frontage, resulted the two buildings so closely associated that one was often mistaken for the other. The Namazie Mansions was sometimes erroneously referred to as the "Capitol Theatre building". During the Japanese Occupation, the Mansions\' adjoined theatre operated under the name **Kyo-Ei Gekijo**, the theatre\'s English-language movies were later forbidden by the Japanese after a few months and replaced them with their own films and orchestras. The theatre operated until 1944, when a bomb planted by the anti-Japanese resistance damaged it and the Mansions itself. After 1946, the Namazie Mansions was purchased by Shaw Organisation and renovated in 1948 partly to restore its damaged parts, and renamed as **Shaws Building**. Its adjoined Capitol Theatre became the organisation\'s flagship theatre with 1,686 seats. The patrons had \"the choice of gallery, stalls and circle seats which were priced at S\$1, S\$2 and S\$3 respectively from the early post-World War II years until the 1970s. The Building was also a location where Magnolia opened its first Singapore snack bar at the building in 1946, which was a favourite haunt for school students, young couples and tourists. It had since closed on 12 July 1988 at 9 pm. In 1978, Shaw Organisation put up Shaws Building and Capitol Theatre for sale, however no deal had been reached. Shaw Organisation later revealed plans to acquire the land of the nearby Capitol Shopping Centre and to demolish Capitol Theatre and Shaws Building and redevelop the site into a shopping complex and a multiscreen cinema with commercial and residential apartments. However, under the Control of Rent Act 1953 in Singapore law, the Shaw Organisation had to provide compensation to its current tenants which proved a challenge to them. In August 1983, the Shaws Building and Capitol Theatre were gazetted for preservation by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and later acquired them in 1984 with Shaw Organisation served as the lessee so that both of the buildings would be preserved as part of a future development. The Shaws Building underwent renovations in 1989 and was relaunched on 30 April 1992 as the Capitol Building. On 29 December 1998, the Capitol Theatre screened its last film *Soldier*, and was officially closed on the following day. In 2000, the Singapore Tourism Board took over the two buildings to explore alternative uses for it, but plans to turn it into a home for an arts group was languished and the cost of refurbishment was exorbitant. On April 3, 2008, it was reported by The Straits Times that the Capitol Building will be redeveloped along with its stretch of adjoining buildings - Capitol Theatre, Capitol Centre and Stamford House in 2009. The 4 adjoining buildings currently rest on an area of about 1.45 hectares with a total of 250 tenants, including offices and retail outlets. Tenancy with retailers along the Capitol stretch will end by May 2009, and to have their businesses relocated elsewhere. A spokesman for the Singapore Land Authority said the Authority will finalise the eviction notice once the timing and details for the development of the site are finalised. While development plans are being made, three of the buildings except for Capitol Centre have been gazetted for conservation, meaning that the buildings\' facades and other architectural features must be maintained to ensure the buildings\' historical integrity. It is believed by property analysts that the development area will attract major property developers to bid and develop the site.

The redevelopment of the complex had since completed, its topping out ceremony held on 3 April 2014, its adjoined Capitol Theatre officially reopened on 19 May 2015 after the 17 years hiatus with the world premiere of *Singapura: The Musical*. In 2015, Capitol Building and Stamford House were refurbished and scheduled to reopen as a six-star hotel known as The Patina, Capitol Singapore by the end of 2015, however was delayed due to dispute among its owners. By 2016, the project stalled when disagreement arose within the consortium, and the hotel spread across Capitol Building and Stamford House failed to open although a Temporary Occupation Permit was given in October 2017. The deadlock was broken by a settlement made in the High Court in January 2018 and, in March, Perennial bought out Chesham Properties for about \$528 million. In May 2018, Perennial Real Estate Holdings appointed Kempinski Hotels S.A. as its operator, and renamed the hotel The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore. It has 157 guest rooms and suites, and an international restaurant situated within the restored Capitol Building and Stamford House. The Capitol Building and Stamford House were officially opened as The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore on 1 October 2018

# KAWO **KAWO** (104.3 FM, \"Wow Country 104.3\") is a commercial radio station located in Boise, Idaho. KAWO airs a country music format branded as \"Wow Country 104.3\". Until 2007, the station was called \"My Country 104.3\" and its call letters were **KTMY**. ## History The station started operating on July 15, 1979, with the first Album-oriented rock station in the Boise market as *Q-104* (KIDQ). In 1985, the station was switched to an adult contemporary format with the KUUB as the call letters branding as *K-Lite 104 FM*. However, the call letters were short-lived and changed the call letters to KLTB to match the branding. The shift almost left Boise without an AOR station until KJOT (*J-105*) debuted less than a month later. KLTB was switched to oldies as *Kool 104* (later known as *Kool Oldies 104.3*) until January 2006 when then-owner Clear Channel Communications switched from oldies to a country format. The new format brought new call letters, KTMY, and new positioning as *My Country 104.3*. On November 16, 2006, Clear Channel Communications planned to sell 448 of its radio stations outside the top 100 markets including KTMY, along with Boise\'s sister stations including KSAS-FM, KCIX, KXLT-FM, KIDO, and KFXD, making Boise the largest radio market in the United States for Clear Channel to sell the stations. In March 2007, Peak Broadcasting LLC bought the former Clear Channel-owned stations. The station\'s ratings continued to decline, however, and in late May 2007 KTMY shed its \"My Country\" imaging to become \"WOW Country 104.3\". While this involved a change to the on-air talent lineup, imaging, nickname, jingle package, and call letters the station maintained a country music format. One notable programming feature of the station became 104-minute music sets, a nod to the station\'s broadcast frequency, which was abandoned upon Lisa Adams taking over the Programming duties. On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare Media would purchase Peak Broadcasting\'s stations, including KAWO. The deal was part of Cumulus Media\'s acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare swapped Peak\'s Fresno, California stations to Cumulus for its stations in Dubuque, Iowa and Poughkeepsie, New York, and Peak, Townsquare, and Dial Global were all controlled by Oaktree Capital Management. The sale to Townsquare was completed on November 14, 2013

# Fishing in Wyoming A game fish is any species of fish pursued for sport by recreationalists (anglers). The capture of game fish is usually tightly regulated. In comparison, nongame fish are all fish not considered game fish. Game fish may be eaten after being caught, though increasingly anglers are practicing catch-and-release tactics to improve fish populations. In the U.S. state of Wyoming there are about 4,200 lakes (with over 333000 acre of water) and over 27000 mi of fishable streams. There are 78 fish species, 28 of which are game fish (including 9 native species) and 50 are nongame fish (including 40 native species). Wyoming game fish include bass (*Micropterus* and *Ambloplites*); sunfish (*Lepomis*); crappie (*Pomoxis*); walleye and sauger (*Sander*); yellow perch (*Perca*); trout, salmon, and char (*Salmo*, *Oncorhynchus*, and *Salvelinus*); whitefish (*Prosopium*); grayling (*Thymallus*), pike (*Esox*); catfish and bullheads (*Ameiurus*, *Ictalurus*, *Noturus*, and *Pylodictis*), burbot (*Lota*); sturgeon (*Scaphirhyncus*); and freshwater drum (*Aplodinotus*). Trout species include rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, brown trout, brook trout, and lake trout. There are four subspecies of cutthroat trout native to Wyoming: the Colorado River cutthroat, the Yellowstone cutthroat, the Bonneville cutthroat, and the Snake River cutthroat. Threats to Wyoming game fish include the New Zealand mud snail, the common carp, and whirling disease. In addition, the introduction of brook sticklebacks (*Culaea incontans*), walleyes, ling suckers, and white suckers have impacted the ecology of native game fish. Conservation efforts to protect Wyoming game fish include licensing, creel limits, and issuing conservation stamps

# Mount Ōyama (Kanagawa) , also `{{nihongo|'''Mount Afuri'''|阿夫利山 or 雨降り山|Afuri-yama}}`{=mediawiki} or **Mount Kunimi** (*Kunimi-yama*), is a 1252 m mountain situated on the border of Isehara, Hadano and Atsugi in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Together with Mount Tanzawa and other mountains in the Tanzawa Mountains it forms the Tanzawa-Ōyama Quasi-National Park. Mount Ōyama is a popular sightseeing spot in Kanagawa Prefecture. ## Geology The mountain is made from non-alkali mafic rock. The rock is 7-15 million years old. The rock was extruded on the sea floor during the Neogene and then pushed up and onto the island of Honshu when the Izu--Bonin--Mariana Arc collided with the rest of Japan. ## Holy mountain {#holy_mountain} Mount Ōyama has long been regarded as a holy mountain and object of worship. Religiously motivated mountain climbing has been practiced since the Hōreki era (1751--1764) and the various paths leading there were called `{{nihongo|[[Ōyama Kaidō]]|大山街道|Ōyama Kaidō}}`{=mediawiki}. Today this name survives as the pseudonym of Route 246. At the top of the mountain is the head office of the `{{nihongo|[[Ōyama-Afuri Shrine]]|大山阿夫利神社|Ō-yama-afuri Jinja}}`{=mediawiki}. Lower down the mountain is the lower shrine and the `{{nihongo|[[Ōyama-dera]]|大山寺}}`{=mediawiki}. *Afuri* refers to the high amount of rain and clouds associated with the mountain. Farmers pray at Ōyama-Afuri Shrine to Suijin, god of rain. The mountain is also known as the Guardian of the Land (*Kunimi-yama*). <File:Ooyama> afurijinjya.jpg\|Ōyama-Afuri Shrine\ (大山阿夫利神社) <File:Ooyamadera> (Isehara 200801).jpg\|Ōyama-dera temple\ (大山寺) ## Sightseeing A bus connects Isehara Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line with the cable car station at the foot of the mountain. A narrow road runs directly between the town areas and the cable car station. The cable car starts from next to Ōyama-dera and climbs to the top station. The top station is not far from the lower Afuri Shrine. Hiking from there it takes about 1.5 hours to climb to the top of the mountain. Tofu and spinning tops are well-known local products. The Ōyama Tofu Festival takes place every March. The Ōyama Mountain Climbing Marathon also takes place in March between Isehara Station and the lower shrine. The course is over 9 km long and includes an altitude difference of over 650 m. Possible access points for an ascent are the cable car terminus, the temple `{{nihongo|[[Hinatayakushi]]|日向薬師|hinatayakushi}}`{=mediawiki} in Isehara, `{{nihongo|Minoge|蓑毛|minoge}}`{=mediawiki} and the `{{nihongo|Yabitsu ridge|ヤビツ峠|yabitsu-tōge}}`{=mediawiki} in Hadano. ## Photo gallery {#photo_gallery} <File:Hadano> Basin from Shibusawa Hill Range 01.jpg\|With Tanzawa Mountains <File:Mt.Oyama> from Mt.Sannoto 01.jpg\|From the west (from Mt.

# Brickyard Cove, Richmond, California **Brickyard Cove** is an upscale waterfront neighborhood in Richmond, California. ## History The neighborhood is surrounded by the bluffs of Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline and Kellar Beach park. It is adjacent to Point Richmond. The area is subdivided into three main living areas, mostly condominiums terraced into the hills, private houses on stilts along the spits, and luxury tract homes built in the late 2010s. The area includes the Richmond Yacht Club and Brickyard Cove Marina. The area is home to a fishing pier at Ferry Point, which takes its name from the fact that it used to be the car ferry connecting to San Francisco. Passengers ending their journeys on the transcontinental railroad, which terminated in Richmond at Ferry Point, could take a car ferry to San Francisco. One such ferry was called the SS *San Pablo*, after the bay. There is also a beach, Keller Beach, popular with locals. The neighborhood is also home to the Golden State Model Railroad Museum, one of the largest model railroad exhibits in the world. Brickyard Cove had AC Transit bus service (line 79) until budget cuts in the early 1990s when a sales tax was not renewed. In the mid 2000s there was controversy over a large condo project at the cove. In 2017 new houses and large condominiums were under construction on former wetlands. The cove is home to Brickyard Cove Pond and The Brickyard Marina

# Men's EuroHockey Championship The **Men\'s EuroHockey Championship** is an international men\'s field hockey competition organised by the European Hockey Federation (EHF) for the top eight European national teams. It is the top division of the EuroHockey Championships. The tournament started in 1970. When the tournament is held close to the Summer Olympic games or the Men\'s FIH Hockey World Cup, the winner of the tournament is awarded a place in those competitions. The tournament has been won by five different national teams: Germany has the most titles with eight, the Netherlands follow with seven, Spain has two wins and England and Belgium have one title each. The most recent edition, held in Mönchengladbach, Germany, was won by the Netherlands who won their seventh title by defeating England 2--1 in the final. ## Format Since 2005 the tournament is played in Divisions, normally consisting of 8 teams. The top division, containing the eight best national teams, is called the EuroHockey Championship, below which there is the Men\'s EuroHockey Championship II, then the Men\'s EuroHockey Championship III, then the EuroHockey Championship IV. ### Qualification National teams qualify for a division based on their performance in the previous competition. Each time the competition is held, it is with each division\'s previous top two teams promoted (assuming there is a higher division), and its previous bottom two teams demoted (assuming there is a lower division). 1. 1970--1974: No Qualification 2. 1978--2003 and 2023--present: Qualification tournament 3. 2005--2021: Via Men\'s EuroHockey Championship II and Men\'s EuroHockey Championship III and EuroHockey Championship IV ### Summary Assuming divisions consisting of the standard 8 teams, the teams are separated into two pools of four teams. In each pool (pool A and B) the teams play one match against each of the other teams in their pool (three in total). The teams then go on to play classification matches based on their relative ranking from these pool matches to determine their final tournament position. ### Details In each pool, A, and B, all the teams play each other once, with points awarded as follows: - 3 points for a win - 1 point for a draw - 0 points for a loss Upon completion of these matches, each team in the pool is ranked according to the number of points each has accumulated. If any teams in the pool have the same rank, then these teams are ranked: - According to the number of matches they won, or else, if equal - According to respective goal difference (\'goals for\' less \'goals against\'), or else - According to \'goals for\', or else - If only two teams are involved, according to the result of the match played between those teams, or else - According to the results of a penalty stroke competition between those teams, or else - This procedure is repeated using the penalty stroke result until the teams can be ranked Once the relative ranking of the teams in pools A and B is settled, the semi-finals proceed with two games as follows: - Second Pool A v first Pool B - First Pool A v Second Pool B The winners of these matches then play a match against each other for 1st and 2nd places (the final) and the losing teams play a match against each other for 3rd and 4th places (Bronze medal match). The third and fourth placed teams in each pool are placed in Pool C (the Relegation Pool) in order to determine fifth to eighth places. Each team plays one match against the two teams that they did not previously play. The results from those games and from the game that was previously played against the other team in their original pool are used to rank each team according to the ranking procedure used in Pool A and B. ## Dates The senior (men\'s and women\'s) Nations tournaments are held over seven to eight consecutive days (including rest days) some time during the last two weeks of July and the first four weeks of August every odd numbered year (2009, 2011, etc.).

# John Jenner Weir **John Jenner Weir**, FLS, FZS (9 August 1822 -- 23 March 1894) was an English amateur entomologist, ornithologist and British civil servant. He is best known today for being one of the naturalists who corresponded with and provided important data to both Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. He played an important role in the formulation of Wallace\'s theory of aposematism, providing the first experimental evidence for the effectiveness, and hence the existence, of warning coloration in caterpillars. ## Life and civil service career {#life_and_civil_service_career} Weir was born on 9 August 1822. at Lewes in East Sussex. He joined the customs service in 1839, rising to the high position of Accountant and Controller-General of Customs in London in 1874. He would hold that post until his retirement in 1885. ## Work as a naturalist {#work_as_a_naturalist} Weir was an amateur naturalist who pursued interests in entomology, the study of insects, ornithology, the study of birds, and botany, the study of plants. His initial interest was in Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) and the first paper he ever published, in 1845, was on the discovery of the scarce forester moth, *Jordanita (Adscita) globulariae*, in Lewes. He was noted for his work collecting and setting very small Lepidoptera until an accident in 1870 resulted in the loss of the top half of his left thumb, which prevented him from setting very small insects. He kept birds in an aviary in his garden where he conducted experiments on predation of insects by birds. Weir was a well-known figure and popular among his fellow British entomologists. For four years he was treasurer of the Entomological Society of London and two times its vice president. Shortly before his death he was elected president of the South London Entomological and Natural History Society. He was a fellow of both the Linnean Society and the Zoological Society. ### Correspondence with Darwin {#correspondence_with_darwin} Weir was a frequent correspondent of Charles Darwin. Darwin cited a number of his observations in *The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex*, as well as in *The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication*, and *The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals*. ### Warning coloration {#warning_coloration} In the 1867 letter to Charles Darwin in which he proposed his hypothesis of warning coloration in animals, Alfred Russel Wallace credited Weir with providing him with the key observation that birds in his aviary would not capture and eat a certain kind of common white moth. After Wallace asked the Entomological Society of London for data to test his hypothesis, Weir conducted two years of experiments on the predation of birds upon caterpillars with a variety of different color schemes, providing the first hard data in support of the theory. Years later Wallace would give the following account of the experiments: ## Death He died from heart failure on 23 March 1894, just a couple of weeks after participating in his last meeting of the South London Entomological and Natural History Society where he submitted his final paper for publication. He had been suffering from angina pectoris for a few years

# Mircea Badea **Mircea Radu Badea** (`{{IPA|ro|ˈmirtʃe̯a ˈradu ˈbade̯a}}`{=mediawiki}; born 24 February 1974 in Bucharest, Romania) is a right-wing libertarian conservative Romanian political satirist, television host, media critic, radio personality and occasional actor. He is widely known as host of *În gura presei* (The Talk of The Press) a show based on the daily news, that airs on Antena 3. Badea started as a radio host, but later branched into television as a co-host of the Tele7ABC *Bună dimineața, România* (Good Morning, Romania) morning show. Together with *Bună dimineața, România* co-host Teo Trandafir, he went on to work for the Intact Media Group and host a show on Antena 1, called *Dimineața devreme* (Early morning), and then hosted another show on Antena 1 called *Teo și Mircea Șou* (Teo & Mircea Show). He has also had several film roles as an actor. Badea became the host of *În gura presei* on September 13, 2004, originally aired on Antena 1, then on Antena 3. Together with longtime friend Călin Stanciu, he is a co-executive-producer of the show. After Badea started *În gura presei*, he steadily gained popularity and critical acclaim, which also led to enduring controversy and resentment amongst various Romanian media personalities. Badea has gained significant acclaim as an acerbic, satirical critic of Romanian politics and most Romanian media outlets, in particular the coverage of Realitatea TV, Evenimentul Zilei, and România Liberă. In spite of its type of satire, *În Gura Presei* and Badea himself have been nominated for a number of entertainment, news, and journalism national and international awards. ## Early life {#early_life} Badea was born in 1974 in Bucharest and attended the Tudor Vianu National College of Computer Science in the early 1990s. After graduating, he enrolled as a computer science student at the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest. Jeana Gheorghiu, a very well known Romanian journalist and a family friend, got him his first job as a radio host in the early 1990s. In 2009, he won an APTR (Romanian Association for Television Programs) award, category \"One Man Show\". ## Filmography Throughout his career, Badea has made cameos in various Romanian movies. He mentioned his role in the 1999 Sergiu Nicolaescu-directed *Triunghiul morții* (Death Triangle), saying he appeared in the movie because he had serious financial difficulties and was in need of money. - *Oglinda* (1993) - *Triunghiul morții* (1999) - *Pitici și tătici* (TV series) - 2003 - *Milionari de weekend* (2004) - *Live* (2015) ## Political stance {#political_stance} He used to be a frequent critic of president Traian Băsescu, who in turn made a video clip ridiculing Badea. The video clip begins with president Basescu saying \"it\'s raining outside\", followed by a long diatribe of an actor looking like Badea complaining that the rain is supported by taxpayers\' money. Badea aired a response the same day, which turned the satire on its head by asking a long series of politically inconvenient questions for the president, to which the \"it\'s raining outside\" presidential non-answer is played back. The exchange has received widespread media coverage. In recent years Badea has voiced his criticism against president Klaus Iohannis, the former DNA Chief Prosecutor Laura Codruța Kövesi, the prosecutors, the judges, and generally against the so-called #Rezist movement (mostly opponents of Liviu Dragnea and the Social Democratic Party-led government), whom he all sees as representatives of the Romanian secret services and the \"parallel state\", the Romanian \"deep state\" held responsible by Liviu Dragnea and the government coalition for misusing the anti-corruption campaign as political means against the PSD-ALDE government

# Asmachta In Jewish law, an ***asmachta*** (*אסמכתא*, also *asmakhta*), is a conditional commitment or promise that a person makes, but actually has no intention of keeping. The agreement is not considered binding, and the commitment is considered null and void. Controversy exists as to whether various forms of gambling, including games of chance and lottery tickets, are considered to be an asmachta. ## Examples 1. In Baba Batra: \"Mashlish et Shitaro\" Let\'s say Kenny owes Simon \$1000. Kenny pays Simon half of that, \$500, and tells him that he will pay him the other \$500 at a later time. Kenny must also give a document of \"I.O.U.\" to a third party, let\'s say Erica. This document says that he will pay the other half, \$500. by a certain time. If he does not pay the amount, this case can be taken to court, and Kenny has to pay Simon the full \$1000 over again. 2. In Baba Metziah: \"Im oveer v\'lo ashalem alpha zuzey\" This is talking about a person who is counting on not having to pay a sum to the person he owes it to. If Kenny says he will pay money to Simon if he does not do the work Simon assigns to him. But Kenny does not really want to commit to paying money to Simon, so he is committing to something he does not want to do. 3. Shach (C.M. 129:6) rules that one who merely declares, \"I guarantee the loan for whoever lends money to Ploni\" is not responsible for the loan

The blast blew out windows and crashed an 4-ton vessel fragment into a nearby automotive supply company, injuring 1. NDK\'s insurance carrier had repeatedly warned NDK that the pressure vessel was unsafe, including to the gas station where the fatality occurred, but NDK failed to take any safety measures. - 2010: Fined \$510K by OSHA for safety violations. - 2015 : USA plant demolished, with no plans to rebuild. ## Products - Crystal Units - Crystal Oscillators - SPXO - TCXO - VCXO - OCXO - Crystal Filters - Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Devices - Optical Components - Synthetic Quartz Crystals - Ultrasonic Transducers - Frequency Synthesizers ### Research and product development {#research_and_product_development} Nihon Dempa Kogyo has developed a prototype crystal-based disease detector which diagnoses disease from breath. The system works by detecting trace amounts of odor-causing substances found in a person\'s breath. ## Company locations {#company_locations} NDK has sales offices in Japan, China, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore, United Kingdom, and United States. NDK has production and engineering facilities in Japan, China, Germany, Malaysia, and the United States. ## 2009 Explosion NDK\'s Belvidere, Illinois facility was heavily damaged in 2009 when one of the crystal autoclaves ruptured violently, causing an explosion. The explosion scattered debris over a wide area, with a 7-foot support beam striking and killing Ronald Greenfield of Chesterfield, Indiana, who was refueling at a nearby truck stop. Debris also damaged a nearby automotive supply company, injuring one worker. The rupture was in a crystal-growth autoclave that had undergone stress corrosion cracking and was inadequately inspected; recommendations from a previous incident were ignored. As a result, the autoclave became overstressed and failed completely. After an investigation, OSHA fined NDK \$510,000 for a history of ignoring safety recommendations. Demolition of the facility began in March 2015, with no plans to rebuild. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board investigated the incident and published a video titled \"Falling Through the Cracks

Sage continued to use Softline as a brand name until 2013 when all of Softline\'s products were re-branded as Sage. Sage\'s South African business continues to provide Sage\'s global products as well as local South African solutions that cover accounting, ERP, Payroll and HR, Business Intelligence, customer relationship management and retail software solutions to small, medium and larger sized companies in South Africa. ## History Softline was founded by Ivan Epstein and Alan Osrin in 1988 during the formative years of the software industry with a mere R1,500 loan. The two founding members of Softline were soon joined by local entrepreneur Steven Cohen in 1990. By 1993, more than 20,000 South African businesses were utilising Softline\'s Brilliant Accounting products aimed primarily at medium-sized enterprises. In 1994, Ivan Epstein secured a long-term agreement with Intuit, granting Softline exclusive distribution rights to the Intuit range of products in Southern Africa; Intuit acquired the South African business back from Softline in 2006. Softline experienced growth during the 1990s and by 1995 began to actively pursue the implementation of Softline\'s listing in the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. During this time, Softline\'s reseller base extended into Africa. On 19 February 1997, Softline Limited listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange with a market capitalization of R250m (£20m). In October 1997, the black empowerment group Hosken Consolidated Investments (HCI) acquired 20% interest in Softline. In a back-to-back transaction, Softline acquired 60% of US-based SVI Holdings Inc., for R150 million. This transaction marked Softline\'s entry into international markets.

SVI Holdings Inc. had previously acquired Divergent Technologies Pty Ltd Propriety Limited in Sydney, Australia in October 1996, Applied Retail Solutions in San Diego, California to enter the point of sale market in the USA in July 1998 and Island Pacific Systems in Irvine, California, a leading retail applications\' software group in the USA candour in July 1999. In July 1998, SVI transferred its listing to the American Stock Exchange (AMEX:SVI). ### Sale to Sage {#sale_to_sage} In 2003, Softline was delisted from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange to be acquired by The Sage Group plc, one of the leading providers of business management software and services to SME\'s. In 1989, Alan Ware and Jeremy Waterman established LA Technology, the distributor for Accpac International throughout sub-Saharan Africa. LA Technology was later acquired by Accpac International in 2000 and became known as ACCPAC Africa. In 2004, ACCPAC Africa was acquired by the Sage Group plc from Computer Associates and was renamed Softline Accpac. In May 2010, Softline announced the acquisition of Netcash (Pty) Ltd, a company that provides transaction processing services that was founded in 2002. Softline integrated Netcash into their accounting and payroll products. In 2013, Netcash was rebranded as Sage Pay before being sold in a management buyout and again becoming Netcash in 2019. In 2013 Sage embarked on a programme of uniforming their product names and offerings and moved away from using the Softline brand name, branding the former Softline products as Sage.

Most of Baiza\'s music touches on a fusion of punk rock and jazz. Eugene Chadbourne cites Baiza as one of the most noteworthy guitarists to emerge from the Southern California punk rock milieu. ## Career Baiza is a founding member of the bands Saccharine Trust, Universal Congress Of, and The Mecolodiacs. He also performed guest guitar spots on several Minutemen tracks and played alongside Black Flag\'s Greg Ginn and Chuck Dukowski in the SST all-star jam band October Faction, recording two albums with them. Baiza was also part of the musical side project Nastassya Filippovna which featured Bob Lee (drums), Devin Sarno (bass) and Mike Watt (bass). He substituted for Nels Cline during Mike Watt\'s European and American tours behind his second solo album, *Contemplating the Engine Room*, in 1997 and 1998. Also in 1997, he and Cline played (sometimes together) in the band Solo Career with Lee (drums), Richard Derrick (bass), Walter Zooi (trumpet) and Gustavo Aguilar (percussion); other guitarists in that rotating ensemble included Mario Lalli, Woody Aplanalp and Ken Rosser. Currently, he is in the reunited Saccharine Trust as well as the improvisational unit Unknown Instructors with former Minutemen Mike Watt and George Hurley. ## Artwork Baiza is also an accomplished visual artist.

# Red Dust (2004 film) ***Red Dust*** is a 2004 British drama film starring Hilary Swank and Chiwetel Ejiofor and directed by Tom Hooper. The screenplay, written by Troy Kennedy Martin, is based on the novel *Red Dust* by Gillian Slovo. The film was predominantly shot on location in South Africa, specifically in the town of Graaff Reinet. ## Plot Sarah Barcant (Hilary Swank), a white lawyer in New York City who grew up in South Africa, returns to her childhood home to represent Alex Mpondo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a Black South African politician who was tortured during apartheid. Under the post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation terms, the whole truth must come out. As it is, under duress Mpondo had identified one of his underground comrades, Steve Sizela, to the apartheid authorities. But he also confirms that he kept a much more important secret -- a list of new recruits. This is still where he left it buried. The full truth now emerges. Dirk Hendricks (Jamie Bartlett), the local policeman, admits Sizela was killed by his boss, Piet Muller (Ian Roberts) and that much of the torture was carried out at a ranch rather than at the police station -- thus confirming Alex\'s apparently false memories of a \'dirt floor\' and a water tap in the corridor. Visiting the ranch, Alex puts details together. Dirk admits where he buried Steve Sizela. The bones are found and dug from the ground; Mpondo decides to allow amnesty as the whole truth has been said. Muller, who denied the charges and pleaded not guilty, ironically applies for amnesty himself, infuriating members of the Black South African community. Parallel with this story is Barcant\'s confrontation with her own past. She was arrested as a teenager for having a black boyfriend, which was breaking the apartheid laws. She got out of custody after one night, thanks to Ben Hoffman, a white lawyer who has worked all of his life against apartheid and is a strong believer in \'Truth and Reconciliation\'. Sarah Barcant is there because she owes him a debt, and he is now too weak to take the case himself. He sees the outcome as positive. ## Cast - Hilary Swank as Sarah Barcant - Chiwetel Ejiofor as Alex Mpondo - Jamie Bartlett as Dirk Hendricks - Ian Roberts as Piet Müller - Nomhle Nkonyeni as Mrs

# Neptune (Marvel Comics) **Neptune**, also called **Poseidon**, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is based on the Roman God with the same name and his Greek counterpart. Neptune is the god of the sea in the Olympian pantheon, as well as patron god over Atlantis. Neptune first appeared in *Tales to Astonish* #70 and was adapted by Stan Lee and Gene Colan. ## Fictional character biography {#fictional_character_biography} Neptune is the son of Cronus and Rhea, and was born in Mount Olympus. Zeus and Pluto are his brothers, and Hera and Vesta are his sisters. Neptune is responsible for the evolution of *Homo mermanus*, and is still honored by the Atlanteans, unlike many Olympians who have little or no worshippers on Earth. Two millennia ago, Neptune destroyed an Atlantean cult of worshipers of Set. He later lived among the Atlanteans for many years as their protector. In modern times, Neptune sent Namor the Sub-Mariner on a quest for his trident in order to regain the Atlantean throne, appearing before him at various points. Neptune then appeared to the Atlanteans, and decreed Namor the true ruler of Atlantis. Neptune later advised Namor of the true destiny of Atlantis. Later, Neptune healed a wounded Namor, and transformed a drowning stallion into a giant seahorse. Neptune later abducted Namor from Atlantis to Hades at the behest of Zeus, as Zeus blamed the Avengers for Hercules\' bad physical condition. However, Neptune was then forbidden to return to Earth by Zeus, despite his objections due to Atlantean worship. Most recently, he, along with the other Olympians have dwelt on Earth once more following the death of Zeus. In a weakened state, he was abducted by Hippolyta and her Amazon warriors, at the behest of Hera and Pluto, who forced him to cede his shares of the Olympus Group to them, facilitating their takeover. The Amazon princess Artume likewise forced from him the location of the Omphalos. He was rescued from Artume\'s clutches by Hercules, Namor, and Namora. Neptune was present when Athena led the Olympus Group at Hercules\' funeral. He then sided with Athena when the other Olympian Gods challenged her for leadership over the Olympian Gods at the time when Amadeus Cho was made leader of the Olympus Group. Neptune chose Namor as his proxy. The battle between the mortal proxies ended in a draw and the Olympian Gods stopped fighting each other and fought the other Gods. As Hulk scales Mount Olympus to ask Zeus for help, Neptune is among the Olympian Gods that tried to stop him. Neptune sent a tidal wave at Hulk on the side of Mount Olympus which he withstood. This annoyed Hulk when Neptune called him a hero as he continued to climb Mount Olympus. ## Powers, abilities, and equipment {#powers_abilities_and_equipment} Neptune possesses the typical powers of an Olympian, including immense strength, stamina, durability, speed, and healing, as well as virtual immortality. Poseidon has the ability to wield vast cosmic/mystical energies for numerous purposes, such as inter-dimensional teleportation. As a sea god, Neptune is able to manipulate water at will, breathe oxygen/underwater, and communicate with all forms of sea life. He usually arms himself with a 6\' 5\" long enchanted trident, capable of divine magic. ## Reception - In 2019, *CBR.com* ranked Poseideon 3rd in their \"Marvel Comics: The 10 Most Powerful Olympians\" list. - In 2021, *CBR.com* ranked Poseidon 3rd in their \"Marvel: 10 Most Powerful Olympians\" list. - In 2022, *Screen Rant* included Neptune in their \"10 Most Powerful Olympian Gods In Marvel Comics\" list.

# Beatrice Faust **Beatrice Eileen Faust** `{{post-nominals|country=AUS|AO}}`{=mediawiki} (19 February 1939 -- 30 October 2019) was an Australian author and women\'s activist. In 1966 she was president of the Victorian Abortion Law Repeal Association. She was a co-founder of the Victorian Council for Civil Liberties in 1966 and of the Women\'s Electoral Lobby in 1972. ## Life and career {#life_and_career} Beatrice Faust was born Beatrice Eileen Fennessey in Glen Huntly, a suburb of Melbourne, on 19 February 1939. Her mother died shortly after having given birth. This had been predicted by doctors, who knew of a uterine canal anomaly which would lead to such, however being of Roman Catholic and Irish descent the use of contraceptives was denied her parents and subsequently her mother became pregnant. She was brought up by her father, three aunts and an extended Irish family, her great-grandmother Boule having arrived in Australia in 1848 as a consequence of the Great Famine and father at a later date. She attended Melbourne University in the 1950s, where she became acquainted with Germaine Greer and they extended their feminist inclinations through various cogitations, earning her bachelor\'s degree in English and subsequently her master\'s degree. Much later in her life, the higher degrees of PhD and LLD were conferred upon her, the former for her 1991 book *Apprenticeship in Liberty* and the latter for her life\'s work in general, as a social reformist and researcher. The first of her two marriages was to Clive Faust during her time at university. Having become known as a public figure with the Faust surname, when they later divorced she retained the name. She had one child, Stephen David, born out of wedlock in 1965 from her relationship with the Finnish academic Adam (Aimo) Murtonen. She was one of the first women to argue for civil liberties, abortion law reform and well-informed sex education for all. In 1966 she co-founded the Victorian Council for Civil Liberties to advocate for civil rights. In February 1972, Faust initiated the formation of the Women\'s Electoral Lobby (Australia), to agitate for legislative reform along specifically feminist lines and to give Australian women a greater voice in politics. In 2001 Faust was awarded the Centenary Medal. In the same year, she was inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women. In 2004 she was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for such efforts and more. Among her early writings, she contributed to the Australian edition of *The Little Red Schoolbook* and, during the 1970s, for *The Age* newspaper, she wrote regularly on films and was pioneer reviewer of photography exhibitions, as well as contributing to *Nation Review* and elsewhere. Later, in the late 1980s into the 1990s, she had a regular column in the *Weekend Australian*, one result of which was a court case involving Jeff Kennett, the then Victorian premier. In the latter part of her career she returned to one of her earliest vocations, as a teacher, becoming a lecturer in English at, first, RMIT, Melbourne, and then Monash University, Victoria, where she widened the scope her concern to include the educational syllabus of Australia on a more general level. After her retirement she lived in Churchill, a town in Gippsland, Victoria. Judith Brett published her biography of Faust, *Fearless Beatrice Faust* in 2024

After a year in captivity, Dyess escaped and spent three months on the run before being evacuated from the Philippines by a U.S. submarine. Once back in the U.S., he recounted the story of his capture and imprisonment, providing the first widely published eye-witness account of the brutality of the death march. He returned to duty in the Army Air Forces, but was killed in a training accident `{{nowrap|months later.<ref name=musafoms>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/196793/one-man-scourge-william-e-dyess/ |publisher=National Museum of the U.S. Air Force |title=One-man scourge: William E.

# William E. Dyess ## Bataan The 21st Pursuit Squadron was assigned to the 24th Pursuit Group which together with the 19th Bomb Group suffered heavy casualties during the opening of the war with Japan in 1941. Flying P-40 Warhawks against Japanese types, Dyess maintained his unit\'s morale in the face of staggering losses during the Battle of Bataan. When his squadron ran short of aircraft, Dyess became an infantry officer, serving in this capacity during the Battle of the Points. When the Bataan Peninsula fell to the Japanese, Dyess, as commanding officer, refused to abandon those of his squadron who could not be evacuated. He gave his airplane (\"Kibosh\") to another fighter pilot, Lieutenant I.B. \"Jack\" Donalson, for last bombing run on April 9, after which Donalson was ordered to fly it to Cebu, where he crash landed. Dyess also supervised the evacuation of Philippine Army Colonel Carlos Romulo, a close friend of General Douglas MacArthur, who would survive the war and would later serve as President of the United Nations General Assembly. Dyess was captured by the Japanese on April 9, 1942, north of Mariveles, Bataan, and the next morning, he and the others who surrendered at Bataan began the infamous Bataan Death March. He was imprisoned at Camp O\'Donnell and then, from June to 26 October 1942, at Cabanatuan. There, his men and he were routinely denied the rights of prisoners of war. Dyess and others were transported by ship, the *Erie Maru*, to the Davao Penal Colony on Mindanao, arriving November 7. After two months of planning and preparation, Dyess, along with 9 other American POWs, including Major Jack Hawkins, Austin Shofner, and Samuel Grashio, and two Filipino convicts escaped from Davao on April 4, 1943. It was the only large-scale escape of Allied POWs from the Japanese in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Dyess and his group spent several weeks evading pursuit, then joined a group of guerrillas for several months. The group decided to split up, with seven joining organized guerrilla forces in northern Mindanao. Dyess and two others were evacuated by the U.S. Navy submarine *Trout* to Australia in July 1943. Upon reaching the United States in August, he was thoroughly debriefed on his experiences as a POW by high-ranking military brass. He was ordered to recuperate, in September 1943, at the Ashford General Hospital in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. From his hospital bed, Dyess worked with *Chicago Tribune* writer Charles Leavelle to tell the story of the atrocities and brutality his fellow POWs and he had experienced and witnessed while in Japanese captivity. The U.S. government, however, refused to release Dyess\' story for publication on the grounds that it would infuriate the Japanese and risk the death of remaining American prisoners. The *Tribune* had to wait another four and a half months for the Secretary of War to grant release of the story.

# William E. Dyess ## Death and legacy {#death_and_legacy} Promoted to lieutenant colonel, Dyess was assigned to fly P-38 Lightnings in preparation for a return to combat. On December 22, 1943, his aircraft, P-38G-10-LO Lightning, *42-13441*, of the 337th Fighter Squadron, 329d Fighter Group, lost an engine caused by a fire on take-off from Grand Central Airport. Dyess had a chance to bail out of his troubled aircraft, but was flying over a heavily-populated area and did not want to be responsible for any civilian casualties. He remained in his stricken P-38, attempting to land it in a vacant lot, and died when the aircraft crashed. He is buried in Albany Cemetery in Albany, Texas. Almost one month after his death, the *Chicago Tribune* finally received permission from government censorship offices to release the deceased aviator\'s story on January 28, 1944. The story ran in serial form for several weeks and was picked up by over 100 American newspapers. According to Leavelle, it was the biggest story of the war since Pearl Harbor. Published in book form in 1944, *The Dyess Story* (later retitled *Bataan Death March*) became a bestseller. Among other commendations, Dyess received the Distinguished Flying Cross twice and Distinguished Service Cross also twice. In 1957, Abilene Army Airfield was renamed Dyess Air Force Base in his honor and in 2006, a replica of Dyess' beloved P-40 Warhawk, named \"Kibosh\", was installed at the front gate of the base in his memory. His personal papers are archived at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama and the special collections archive at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. In 2024, Lt. Col Dyess was chosen as the exemplar for United States Air Force Academy Class of 2027.

# Kabul Zoo The **Kabul Zoo** (*باغ‌وحش کابل*) is located in Kabul, Afghanistan, on the bank of the Kabul River and adjacent to the Deh Mazang Circle. It is next to City Park and nearby the Gardens of Babur and Kabul University. Visited by around a million people annually, the zoo has been one of the popular tourist attractions in the city. Its director is Aziz Gul Saqeb. ## History Kabul Zoo was inaugurated in 1967 with a focus on Afghan fauna, being very popular with visitors and press. The zoo once had more than 500 animals, with about 150,000 visitors coming to see them in 1972. The zoo suffered significant damage during the 1990s civil war; the aquarium was damaged by shelling, and combatants took the deer and rabbits for food. An elephant, 25-year-old Hathi, was killed when a rocket hit the zoo. Some exotic animals like rare species of birds, were smuggled out and sold in the black market. The Taliban, who took control of Kabul in 1996, initially thought the zoo was incompatible with their version of Islam, but kept it open after the zookeeper Sheraq Omar said research at Kabul University showed that Muhammad kept pets. The most famous resident of the zoo was Marjan the Lion, who died in 2002 and is buried there. A bronze statue of Marjan stands at the zoo\'s entrance. The zoo once had about 500 animals, including 45 species of birds and mammals, and 36 species of fish. Among the animals were two lions and Afghanistan\'s only pig. As many as 10,000 people visit during the weekends. The zoo employed a staff of 60 to care for the animals `{{asof|2003|lc=on}}`{=mediawiki}. It is one of the popular places in Kabul for locals and visitors. The zoo generated 15 million afghanis (\$268,000) in revenue in 2012, which increased to 33 million in 2020. In April 2017, the zoo took four of the white lions that were saved from a smuggling attempt. It has been reported that the zoo will be expanded in the future from its current 7.1 ha of land to 29 ha. ### Donations and assistance {#donations_and_assistance} - The Chinese government, a primary donor of animals, has expressed concerns about the safety of the animals it has already donated to Afghanistan. In 2004 -- 2005, one male bear and one deer died, apparently from diseases and improper nutrition. Chinese authorities say they will not donate any more animals to Kabul until conditions improve. - The North Carolina Zoo in the United States has funded and supervised many projects at the zoo, including improvements to housing of the animals, such as climbing structures and standoff barriers, with additional help in creating a business plan for the zoo. Director David Jones tried to help send Kabul Zoo staff to India, for training. - London Zoo in the United Kingdom shared its expertise with Kabul Zoo Director Aziz Gul during a visit to London in January 2019

# Gautama Buddha (film) ***Tathagatha Buddha: The Life & Times of Gautama Buddha*** (*बुद्ध*), also known as ***Gautama Buddha***, is an Indian feature film on the life and times of the Buddha directed by Allani Sridhar and is based upon the story by *Sadguru Sivananda Murty*. The film was simultaneously shot in Hindi and Telugu and released in 2008 alongside the English dubbed version *The Path Finder*. ## Plot The film tells the story of Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilavastu, situated in Nepal, who lived during 6th century B.C.

He was a lone pathfinder who inspired the religions that eventually spread to China, Japan, and to the United States and Europe as late as the 20th century. ## Cast ## Production Filming took place primarily in Ramoji Film City, Annapurna, Manchirevula, Bodh Gaya, and Lumbini, and was in post-production by July 2007. The film\'s audio had its launch by Chief Minister Dr. Rajasekhar Reddy in November 2007, at which event he praised the film and director by saying that \"the film and its message were the need of the hour as people were getting tired of all the violence around them\".

# Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones ***Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones*** is a concert movie featuring the British rock band the Rolling Stones that was first released in 1974. Directed by Rollin Binzer and produced by Binzer and Marshall Chess, it was filmed in 16mm by Bob Freeze and Steve Gebhardt of Butterfly Films during four shows in Fort Worth, Texas, at the Tarrant County Convention Center and Houston, Texas, at the Hofheinz Pavilion, from the band\'s 1972 North American Tour in support of their 1972 album *Exile on Main St.* ## Production The film was shot using 16 mm film, but blown up to 35 mm film with a wet gate process for theatrical release to \"make it look like it was shot 35 mm for the wide screen.\" The concerts were recorded in 32 track audio and the soundtrack was mixed in Twickenham Studios in England. In its initial U.S. theatrical run it was released in \"Quadrasound\" which was a variation of the four-track magnetic sound format. Instead of the usual right, centre, left and single surround tracks, Quadrasound fed right and left screen speakers and right and left (split surround) speakers. The objective of the quadraphonic sound recording was to transform the 650-seat motion picture theatre auditorium into the auditory phenomenon of a 10,000 seat rock and roll arena. The film began before most audience members even realized it: a black screen and quadraphonic audience noise fooled theatergoers into accepting the recorded ambience as coming from their own venue, intensifying the aural intimacy when the Stones began to play.

# Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones ## Release The film was sold by the Rolling Stones as a tax-incentive based venture capital investment. Nine investment groups competed to acquire the film and the winning group formed Dragon Aire, a one-film distribution company that was formed to \"four-wall\" the film throughout the United States. In accordance with the Rolling Stones\' contractual requirements, Dragon Aire proceeded to rent theatres on a \"four-wall\" basis for limited engagements in major markets (due to commence at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City on 14 April 1974 (Easter Sunday)) and sell tickets not only at the theatre but also through concert ticket vendors such as Ticketron for the limited engagements. The objective here was to create a limited access single venue event that fans could access from any ticket seller in town. Dragon Aire planned a street fair outside the Ziegfeld to promote the film but cancelled the fair and premiere two days before to avoid any potential trouble as well as the planned 50 performances at the theatre. The film was played in limited road show engagements during which advertising was stopped (want ads were used after the first two markets) because the word of mouth for the film increased attendance every day throughout the run. Limited engagements were conducted in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles before the picture was sold to Plitt Theatres which released the film in a \"flat\" screen monaural version. The Quadraphonic presentation of *Ladies and Gentlemen\...* required a 44 JBL driver sound system (four systems were built and used by Dragonaire in its road show performances of the film). Each sound system was capable of generating 3300 Watts RMS, and was transported to each venue in a 14 ft. bed truck. Played at 100 dbA in evening and midnight performances, the sound track had to be mixed by a sound engineer based on the number of people in the audience in order to achieve optimal clarity. Sound engineers accompanied the road show presentations. ## 2010 theatrical re-release {#theatrical_re_release} Prior to 2010, after initial showings in 1974 the movie was only commercially available in the early 1980s in Australia on VHS by Video Classics, of which bootleg copies had since been circulated. The Rolling Stones re-claimed the film from No Moss Partners, the original investment limited partnership in the late 1990s, and held off from re-releasing it until 2010. On 16 September 2010, a digital re-mastered version of *Ladies and Gentlemen* was shown in select theaters in the United States, presented by Omniverse Vision, Eagle Rock Entertainment and NCM Fathom. Re-mastered in HD digital, the film also features an introduction by Mick Jagger, interviewed in summer 2010 at the London Dorchester Hotel. This segment features Jagger reflecting on memories of the tour during this legendary time, and the status of the Rolling Stones. This film was released at selected Showcase Cinemas in UK the following day, on Friday 17 September 2010. On 12 October 2010, it was issued on DVD and Blu-ray. Supplements to the concert footage includes tour rehearsal footage from the Montreux Jazz Festival, a 1972 *Old Grey Whistle Test* interview with Mick Jagger, and a 2010 interview with Jagger. During the performance, Styrofoam Frisbee-like discs with the Stones \'Tongue\' emblem were thrown out into the audience to add to the excitement and enhance the realism as if you were actually attending the concert. The Blu-ray release has three choices of soundtrack: Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, and LPCM stereo, with at least one reviewer genuinely preferring the LPCM 2.0 option. ## Album In 2017 *Ladies and Gentlemen* was released as a standalone CD, on Eagle Records.

# Murder of George Duncan **George Ian Ogilvie Duncan** (20 July 1930 -- 10 May 1972) was an Australian law lecturer at the University of Adelaide who drowned in 1972 after being thrown into the River Torrens by a group of men believed to be police officers. Public outrage generated by the murder became the trigger for homosexual law reform which led to South Australia becoming the first Australian state to decriminalise homosexuality. ## Early life and career {#early_life_and_career} George Duncan was born on 20 July 1930 at Golders Green, London, England, the only child of New Zealand-born parents Ronald Ogilvie Duncan (d.1952) and his second wife Hazel Kerr née Martell (d.1944). Emigrating to Victoria in 1937, Duncan attended Melbourne Grammar School, graduating *dux* in 1947. While taking an honours degree in classical philology at the University of Melbourne, Duncan\'s studies were interrupted in 1950 after contracting tuberculosis. In 1957, Duncan entered St John\'s College, Cambridge, where he was awarded a number of degrees, including a B.A. in 1960; a Bachelor of Laws in 1961; an M.A. in 1963 and a Ph.D. in 1964. From 1966 to 1971, he taught law part-time at the University of Bristol and published his doctoral thesis in 1971. Duncan returned to Australia on 25 March 1972 to take up a lectureship in law at the University of Adelaide, moving into Lincoln College in North Adelaide. ## Murder Around six weeks after Duncan\'s arrival in Adelaide, he was thrown from the southern bank of the River Torrens, near Kintore Avenue, and drowned. In 1988, Julian Clarke gave a police statement about what he saw at the beat on the banks of the River Torrens in 1972. He stated that after hearing screaming, he saw a group of men throw two other men in the river. He said members of the group then punched him and told him to \"fuck off\" before the same happened to him. Julian Clarke later told Ivan Felisatti he saw three police officers attack Duncan: \"Two of them held Dr Duncan and Julian heard bones breaking and the men shouting.\" As homosexuality was still illegal in South Australia at that time, the banks of the Torrens River, or \"Number 1 beat\" as it was then known, was a popular place for gay or bisexual men to meet. Around 11.00 p.m. on 10 May 1972, Duncan and Roger James (and a third unidentified man) were all thrown by a group of men into the river in separate incidents, and Duncan, being unable to swim, drowned. One of the perpetrators then stripped and entered the river in search of Duncan, but the victim was unable to be found in the murky waters. James suffered a broken ankle and, after crawling to the road, was rescued by a passing driver, Bevan Spencer von Einem (who was later convicted of child murder), who then took him to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

# Murder of George Duncan ## Investigations and trial {#investigations_and_trial} After James and other witnesses declined to identify the attackers and reportedly feared for their lives, the Premier of South Australia, Don Dunstan, offered government protection to witnesses who came forward. Within days of the murder, it was suspected that the group of men who killed Duncan were three senior vice squad police officers. Witnesses claimed that the detectives were also accompanied by a tall civilian, who was never identified. Public debate was so great that Dunstan permitted Police Commissioner Harold Salisbury to call in detectives from New Scotland Yard to investigate the murder. Their report, written by Detective Chief Superintendent Bob McGowan, which was not made public until tabled in the South Australia parliament in 2002, indicated that vice squad officers Francis John Cawley, Michael Kenneth Clayton, and Brian Edwin Hudson had taken part in the three assaults. The inquiry, described as \"a frolic\", had failed to find sufficient evidence to prosecute any of the officers due to a lack of witness testimony. Further, the detectives were called upon to give evidence at the coronial inquiry but had refused to answer any of the questions put to them and were subsequently suspended from duty and eventually resigned. The coroner returned an open finding on 5 July 1972, which led to the crown solicitor announcing on 24 October 1972 that he had decided against proceeding with any prosecution. On 30 July 1985, former vice squad officer Mick O\'Shea, who had resigned in 1981, told *The Advertiser* that the group involved in Duncan\'s death were vice squad officers and that there was a cover-up to protect them. On 5 February 1986, Cawley, Clayton and Hudson were charged with the manslaughter of Duncan. Cawley and Clayton eventually went to trial in 1988, with both being acquitted of the charges on 30 September after refusing to testify. During the trial, O\'Shea made specific allegations that it was a common practice for vice squad officers to throw homosexual men into the river, that certain members assaulted homosexual men, and that on one occasion they had chased an individual while firing shots. A further allegation was later raised that there had been an attempt to influence a juror to find the two officers charged not guilty. A police task force was set up, reporting to the SA parliament in 1990 that there was insufficient evidence to charge any person with the murder. Repeated calls for a royal commission have been ignored. On the 40th anniversary of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 1975 being passed, in August 2015, SAPOL Police Commissioner Grant Stevens talked publicly about the murder, saying that the case remained open and that `{{AUD|200,000}}`{=mediawiki} reward was on offer for information leading to a conviction. He also said that SAPOL was now an inclusive police force and had \"an excellent relationship with the gay community.\" ## Legal impact {#legal_impact} The murder attracted national media coverage, and public outrage resulted in Duncan being held up as a martyr by the gay rights movement. Gay and feminist activists, led by Jon Ruwoldt, opened the Doctor Duncan Revolution Bookshop as an organising centre in June 1974, at King William Road Hyde Park, also selling political books by mail-order, which fulfilled its purpose and closed in May 1977. When closed, the stock was transferred to International Bookshop in Melbourne. As a result of the media attention, Murray Hill, a Liberal Party member of the Legislative Council, introduced a bill on 26 July 1972 to amend the *Criminal Law Consolidation Act* (1935--1971) that criminalised homosexuality. The amendment was assented to on 9 November 1972, however, a further amendment weakened it to only allow a legal defence for homosexual acts committed in private. In 1973, the Labor member for Elizabeth, Peter Duncan (no relation), introduced the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill into Parliament which, although passed by the Lower House, was defeated twice in the Legislative Council. On 27 August 1975, the unaltered bill was again introduced, defeated, reintroduced, defeated, reintroduced a third time and passed, all on the same day, making South Australia the first Australian state to fully decriminalise homosexuality.

# Murder of George Duncan ## Memorials and legacy {#memorials_and_legacy} Duncan is buried in Centennial Park Cemetery. In November 2022 a ceremony was held at the grave to mark 50 years since Duncan\'s death, and the lease on the grave was extended for a further 50 years by the university. On 10 May 2002, the 30th anniversary of Duncan\'s death, a memorial monument was erected near the site of the murder. The inscription reads: > \"In memory of Dr George Duncan, whose death by drowning on 10th May, 1972 near here, at the hands of persons unconvicted, precipitated homosexual law reform in South Australia, making it the first state in Australia in 1975 to decriminalise homosexual relations between consenting adults. We will remember him.\" Also on 10 May 2002, Radio Adelaide broadcast a feature documentary *The Killing of Dr George*. On 1 October 2002, the South Australia Institute of Justice Studies awarded a special commendation to Radio Adelaide, praising the documentary for its historical significance and inclusion of comment from people who had been gay activists at the time of Duncan\'s death. The national George Duncan Memorial Award was inaugurated in 2004. The award is presented for an outstanding piece of work contributing to legal reform and the betterment of the Australian lesbian, gay, queer, bisexual, transgender or intersex community. In 2005, Baden Offord won the award for his 2003 book *Homosexual Rights as Human Rights*. In 2016, SBS highlighted the case in a five-part podcast series called *Out of Sight: The Untold Story of Adelaide\'s Gay Hate Murders*, narrated by journalist Mark Whittaker. The series also connected to SBS\'s *Deep Water* and documentaries about other unsolved anti-gay hate crimes in Sydney. In 2020, the City of Adelaide installed a new sign to honour Duncan\'s memory next to the 2002 memorial next to the Torrens. Headed by the words \"Dr Duncan: A life tragically lost but a state transformed\", the sign includes details of the story, and a large photograph of Duncan. In January 2022, the University of Adelaide began to offer the Dr Duncan Memorial Scholarship, worth `{{AUD|5,000}}`{=mediawiki}, to an undergraduate law student in need of financial assistance. The scholarship was established by a group of donors who were supported by a grant from the Government of South Australia. In February and March 2022, the Adelaide Festival debuted *Watershed: The Death of Dr Duncan*, a modern oratorio about Duncan\'s life, death, and its impact. The work was set to music composed by Joseph Twist, with a libretto by Australian playwrights Alana Valentine and Christos Tsiolkas, directed by Neil Armfield and performed by the Adelaide Chamber Singers. It received good reviews, and in November 2022 won the Ruby Award for Outstanding Work within a Festival. On 10 May 2022, the 50th anniversary of his death, a memorial event was held at the footbridge near where he died, and the freshly repainted Pride Walk (aka Rainbow Walk) in Light Square was officially unveiled. That same year, Adelaide historian Tim Reeves published *The Death of Dr Duncan*, a book describing his decades of investigation into the case

Four people cheered as their family member was awarded their diploma, and were subsequently escorted out of the ceremony. School officials then filed disturbing the peace charges against three of them (carrying a possible penalty of up to a \$500 fine or 6 months in jail). One person could not be identified, and thus, wasn\'t charged. In interviews with WREG-TV, one of those accused, said she called out her daughter\'s name as she received her diploma, while another said he yelled \"you did it baby\". Former Superintendent Jay Foster defended the charges, saying \"The goal was to allow all graduates to have the privilege of hearing their name called\". After the ceremony, Foster contacted Zabron Davis, Chief of Police for Northwest Mississippi Community College, and filed disturbing the peace charges. Those charged were served with arrest warrants about two weeks later. An online petition calling for the charges to be dropped had received over 12,000 signatures by June 7. On June 8, 2015, the school district dropped the charges

# 1931 International Lawn Tennis Challenge The **1931 International Lawn Tennis Challenge** was the 26th edition of what is now known as the **Davis Cup**. Due to an increase in South American entries, the America Zone was split into the North & Central America Zone and the South America Zone, with the winner of each sub-zone playing to determine who moved to the Inter-Zonal round. 22 teams would enter the Europe Zone, while 8 would enter the America Zone. These included first-time entries from Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, although Brazil withdrew without playing a tie, and Paraguay would not play in the Davis Cup again until 1982. This year also marked the first time that ties were played in South America. The United States defeated Argentina in the America Inter-Zonal Final, but would then lose to Great Britain in the Inter-Zonal play-off. France defeated Great Britain in the Challenge Round, giving France their fifth straight title. The final was played at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France on 24--26 July. ## America Zone {#america_zone} \[\[Image:1931 Davis Cup Countries.png\|400px\|thumb\|right\|Zones and rounds in the 1931 Davis cup: `{{legend|#00FFFF|1931 champion}}`{=mediawiki}\ `{{legend|#FFFFFF|1931 runner-up|outline=#00FFFF}}`{=mediawiki}\ `{{legend|#FFFFFF|Inter-Zonal Final elimination|outline=#3973F0}}`{=mediawiki}\ `{{legend|#FFFFFF|America Inter-Zonal elimination|outline=#FF1F00}}`{=mediawiki}\ `{{legend|#B7394D|Regional finals elimination}}`{=mediawiki}\ `{{legend|#FF1F00|Semifinal elimination}}`{=mediawiki}\ `{{legend|#67174C|Quarterfinal elimination}}`{=mediawiki}\ `{{legend|#CF8401|Second round elimination}}`{=mediawiki}\ `{{legend|#40551B|First round elimination}}`{=mediawiki}\ `]]` ### North & Central America Zone {#north_central_america_zone} ### South America Zone {#south_america_zone} ### Americas Inter-Zonal Final {#americas_inter_zonal_final} **United States vs. Argentina** `{{DavisCupbox |team1=United States |team1-var=1912 |team2=Argentina |venue=Chevy Chase Lawn Tennis Club, [[Chevy Chase, Maryland|Chevy Chase, MD]], [[United States]]<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.daviscup.com/en/draws-results/tie.aspx?id=M-DC-1931-AMI-M-USA-ARG-01|title=United States v Argentina|publisher=daviscup.com}}</ref> |date=28–30 May 1931 |surface=Clay |score1=5 |score2=0 |R1={{ TennisMatch |T1P1=[[Frank Shields]] |3 |6 |6 |6 | |T2P1=[[Guillermo Robson]] |6 |2 |2 |2 | }}`{=mediawiki} \|R2={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Sidney Wood \|6 \|6 \|6 \| \| \|T2P1=Ronaldo Boyd \|4 \|1 \|2 \| \| }} \|R3={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Frank Shields \|T1P2=Sidney Wood \|6 \|8 \|2 \|4 \| \|T2P1=Lucilo del Castillo \|T2P2=Adriano Zappa \|4 \|6 \|6 \|2 \| }} \|R4={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Frank Shields \|6 \|6 \|6 \| \| \|T2P1=Ronaldo Boyd \|2 \|2 \|2 \| \| }} \|R5={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Cliff Sutter \|3 \|6 \|6 \|6 \| \|T2P1=Guillermo Robson \|6 \|4 \|3 \|3 \| }} \|}} ## Europe Zone {#europe_zone} ### Draw ### Final **Czechoslovakia vs. Great Britain** `{{DavisCupbox |team1=Czechoslovakia |team2=Great Britain |venue=[[Prague]], [[Czechoslovakia]]<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.daviscup.com/en/draws-results/tie.aspx?id=M-DC-1931-EUR-M-TCH-GBR-01|title=Czechoslovakia v Great Britain|publisher=daviscup.com}}</ref> |date=9–11 July 1931 |surface=Clay |score1=1 |score2=4 |R1={{ TennisMatch |T1P1=[[Roderich Menzel]] |6 |2 |8 |3 |3 |T2P1=[[Bunny Austin]] |3 |6 |6 |6 |6 }}`{=mediawiki} \|R2={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Ladislav Hecht \|1 \|6 \|3 \| \| \|T2P1=Fred Perry \|6 \|8 \|6 \| \| }} \|R3={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Ferenc Maršálek \|T1P2=Roderich Menzel \|4 \|6 \|4 \|2 \| \|T2P1=Pat Hughes \|T2P2=Fred Perry \|6 \|4 \|6 \|6 \| }} \|R4={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Ladislav Hecht \|6 \|7 \|6 \| \| \|T2P1=Bunny Austin \|2 \|5 \|4 \| \| }} \|R5={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Roderich Menzel \|5 \|3 \|5 \| \| \|T2P1=Fred Perry \|7 \|6 \|7 \| \| }} }} ## Inter-Zonal Final {#inter_zonal_final} **Great Britain vs. United States** `{{DavisCupbox |team1=Great Britain |team2=United States |team2-var=1912 |venue=[[Stade Roland Garros]], [[Paris]], [[France]]<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.daviscup.com/en/draws-results/tie.aspx?id=M-DC-1931-INZ-M-GBR-USA-01|title=Great Britain v United States|publisher=daviscup.com}}</ref> |date=17–19 July 1931 |surface=Clay |score1=3 |score2=2 |R1={{ TennisMatch |T1P1=[[Bunny Austin]] |2 |6 |8 |7 | |T2P1=[[Sidney Wood (tennis)|Sidney Wood]] |6 |0 |6 |5 | }}`{=mediawiki} \|R2={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Fred Perry \|8 \|4 \|2 \| \| \|T2P1=Frank Shields \|10 \|6 \|6 \| \| }} \|R3={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Pat Hughes \|T1P2=Fred Perry \|1 \|3 \|6 \|3 \| \|T2P1=George Lott \|T2P2=John Van Ryn \|6 \|6 \|4 \|6 \| }} \|R4={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Fred Perry \|6 \|8 \|6 \|6 \| \|T2P1=Sidney Wood \|3 \|10 \|3 \|3 \| }} \|R5={{ TennisMatch \|T1P1=Bunny Austin \|8 \|6 \|7 \| \| \|T2P1=Frank Shields \|6 \|3 \|5 \| \| }} \|}} ## Challenge Round {#challenge_round} **France vs. Great Britain** `{{DavisCupbox |team1=France |team1-var=1830 |team2=Great Britain |venue=[[Stade Roland Garros]], [[Paris]], [[France]]<ref name="Final">{{cite news|url=https://www.daviscup.com/en/draws-results/tie.aspx?id=M-DC-1931-WG-CHR-FRA-GBR-01|title=France v Great Britain|publisher=daviscup

# Wet sari scene **Wet sari scenes** are an on-screen cliché in Hindi cinema films, in which fully clothed actresses are depicted in wet saris that cling to their bodies. This functions as a proxy for nudity in mainstream Indian cinema, where nudity is taboo. Films showing wet sari scenes include *Mera Naam Joker* (1970), *Satyam Shivam Sundaram* (1978), *Ram Teri Ganga Maili* (1985) and *Kishen Kanhaiya* (1990)

# Elektor TV Games Computer The **Elektor TV Games Computer** (**TVGC**) was a programmable computer system sold by Elektor in kit form from April 1979. It used the Signetics 2650 CPU with the Signetics 2636 PVI for graphics and sound. These were the same chips as used in the Interton VC 4000 console family. A 2K monitor ROM written by Philips and a cassette interface were the most important differences between the TVGC and the Interton family. Many VC 4000 games were adapted versions of TV Games Computer games. It is possible to add cartridge slots to the TVGC to enable it to play console games, and the Hobby Module of the Acetronic console effectively transforms it into a basic TVGC. The RAM and sound capabilities of the computer can be expanded. A pair of General Instruments AY-3-8910 Programmable Sound Generators are used in the expanded version, meaning that this machine had the most powerful sound capabilities of the time. A noise generator, random number generators and cartridge ports are among the other expansions described. Hardware and software were available from Elektor and Locosoft. The October 2008 issue of Elektor magazine features the TVGC in its \"Retronics\" section

# Friendly amendment In parliamentary procedure, a **friendly amendment** is an amendment to a motion under debate that is perceived by all parties as an enhancement to the original motion, often only as clarification of intent. Friendly amendments are to be treated like other amendments. ## Explanation Friendly amendments are often allowed by the chair after consent by the original mover of the motion. According to Robert\'s Rules of Order, a friendly amendment should not be handled any differently from any other amendment: the entire assembly must consent to the amendment, either by majority vote or through unanimous consent. ## Other uses {#other_uses} In Model United Nations, a \"friendly amendment\" is a change to a resolution that everyone is in favor of, while an \"unfriendly amendment\" is one that does not have everyone\'s support
