# Thalassiodracon
## Description
thumb\|left\|Life restoration *Thalassiodracon* was a small plesiosaur in the Late Triassic (Rhaetian) to the Early Jurassic (Hettangian) of Europe (age range: 201.6 to 196.5 million years ago). It measured approximately 1.5 m long. It has a skull length of 17 cm, neck length of 75.5 cm, and trunk length of 68 cm.
Plesiosaurs lived in both saltwater and freshwater areas, with specific adaptations to help them thrive, with *Thalassiodracon hawkinsi* being no exception. The neck of *Thalassiodracon* was slightly shorter than that of subsequent plesiosaurs. The cervical vertebrae were between 27 and 31, while those of *Plesiosaurus* were 35 - 37. Moreover, the skull was unusually short and equipped with long teeth. The orbits were very large, with sclerotic rings. The orbits of the skull were enlarged, containing likewise large, flat sclerotic rings. These rings are theorized to help the eyes of the creature to be well adjusted for a low-light environment found in its habitat. Other features like elongated staples and fused exoccipital bones seem to suggest adapted underwater hearing. Like some modern reptiles, the teeth inside the skull had a constant replacement cycle as they wore out during the animal\'s lifetime. The cycle appears to have occurred in a wave shaped pattern, with cycle repeating every third tooth.
A computed tomography of an exceptionally preserved skull, and examination of other specimens (Benson *et al.*, 2011) yields new anatomical data. *Thalassiodracon* had a dorsomedian ridge on the premaxilla, a squamosal bulb, four premaxillary teeth, and a heterodont maxillary dentition.
Like all plesiosaurs, this animal had legs like paddles for swimming in the sea. But, separating them from earlier ancestors, *Thalassiodracon* and following members also had shortened tails. In adulthood, the forelimbs of *Thalassiodracon hawkinsii* are shorter than its hindlimbs. Plesiosaurs with this characteristic are speculated to be pursuit predators, using speed and strength to hunt down their prey. In general, plesiosaurs had three primary ways to traverse through the water with their flippers: rowing, flying, and rowing flight. Unlike the reptiles of today, *Thalassiodracon hawkinsii* and other plesiosaurs were warm-blooded with a high metabolism, enabling them to have an active lifestyle.
All plesiosaurs, including *Thalassiodracon* were faunivorous, but widely ranged in their diets. Animals such as ammonites, cephalopods, and other invertebrates were often found in plesiosaur remains. With the bones of dinosaurs and pterosaurs being found in plesiosaur remains, these animals are also possibilities for their diets.
Like other plesiosaurs, *Thalassiodracon hawkinsii* is believed to have been viviparous, meaning it gave birth to live young.
## Classification
*Thalassiodracon* was originally placed in the genus *Plesiosaurus*. It has been classified in a new genus *Thalassiodracon* many years later following an examination of a skull. This animal is considered one of the oldest representatives of the group of plesiosaurs, perhaps ancestral to the superfamily of Pliosauroidea (short-necked plesiosaurs).
The following cladogram follows an analysis by Ketchum & Benson, 2011

# Luncarty
**Luncarty** (`{{Audio|Luncarty.ogg|listen}}`{=mediawiki}; pronounced *Lung*-cur-tay `{{IPA|[ˈlʌŋkəɾte]}}`{=mediawiki}) is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, approximately 4 mi north of Perth. It lies between the A9 to the west, and the River Tay to the east.
## Etymology
The name *Luncarty*, recorded in 1250 as *Lumphortyn*, may be of Gaelic origin. The name may involve the element *longartaibh*, a plural form of *longphort* meaning variously \"harbour, palace, encampment\".
## History
The historian Hector Boece (1465--1536), in his *History of the Scottish People*, records that, in 990, Kenneth III of Scotland defeated the Danes near Luncarty. However, the Scottish historian John Hill Burton strongly suspected the battle of Luncarty to be an invention of Hector Boece. Burton was incorrect. Walter Bower, writing in his Scotichronicon around 1440, some 87 years before Boece first published his *Scotorum Historia*, refers to the battle briefly as follows:
: *\"that remarkable battle of Luncarty, in which the Norsemen with their king were totally destroyed\".* Bower does not quote specific sources concerning the battle, but, two sentences later, he refers in a general way to ancient writings that he has consulted. The term Norsemen would include Danes.
The present village was founded in 1752 by William Sandeman, to house workers at his bleachfields. The village formerly had a railway station, and the Perth to Inverness railway line still runs through the village.
A rare example of a morthouse is located in the churchyard, built to frustrate the activities of bodysnatchers in the 19th century.
## Bleachfields
William Sandeman and his partner Hector Turnbull manufactured linen in Perth and bleached it in Luncarty, for instance with an order of 12,000 to of \"Soldiers\' shirting\". In 1752 he leveled 12 acre of land in Luncarty to form bleachfields. By 1790 when William died, the Luncarty bleachfields covered 80 acre and processed 500,000 yd of cloth annually. Second only to agriculture, linen manufacture was a major Scottish industry in the late 18th century --- linen then became less important with the introduction of cotton.
## Sport
The village is home to the football club Luncarty F.C., who play in the `{{Scottish football updater|Luncarty}}`{=mediawiki}

# Ahva (political party)
**Ahva** (*אחווה*, *Brotherhood*) was a short-lived political party in Israel, one of several spinoffs created by the collapse of Dash.
## Background
Ahva was formed on 8 July 1980 when two MKs (Shafik Asaad and Shlomo Eliyahu) broke away from the Democratic Movement, itself a relatively new party, having been formed in 1978 when Dash split up (also creating Shinui and Ya\'ad). On 17 September they were joined by Akiva Nof, also from the Democratic Movement.
However, like its two immediate predecessors, Ahva also suffered from instability. Nof defected to Likud on 28 January 1981, whilst Asaad left the party to join Telem (another newly formed party) on 15 June. By the end of the Knesset session in June 1981, only Eliayhu remained in the party (though it had outlasted the Democratic Movement, which folded in March 1981).
The party did not run in the 1981 elections and subsequently disappeared

# Ryan McDonagh
**Ryan Patrick McDonagh** (born June 13, 1989) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman and alternate captain for the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League (NHL). Drafted in the first round, 12th overall, by the Montreal Canadiens in 2007, he played college hockey for the Badgers at the University of Wisconsin--Madison. He also played for the New York Rangers, for whom he served as team captain from October 2014 until being traded to the Lightning in 2018. McDonagh won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Lightning in 2020 and 2021, before spending two seasons with the Nashville Predators.
McDonagh also competes internationally for the United States and was a member of the men\'s ice hockey team at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
### Amateur
McDonagh attended Cretin-Derham Hall High School in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where as a junior he helped lead his team to the school\'s first state hockey championship. The following season, he was awarded the 2007 Minnesota Mr. Hockey award, which is given annually to the top senior high school hockey player in the state.
McDonagh was then drafted in the first round, 12th overall, by the Montreal Canadiens on June 22, 2007, in the 2007 NHL entry draft. He also won a silver medal with the United States at the 2007 IIHF World U18 Championships.
Two years later, McDonagh represented the Americans at the 2009 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.
On June 30, 2009, McDonagh was traded (along with Chris Higgins, Pavel Valentenko and Doug Janik) to the New York Rangers in exchange for Scott Gomez, Tom Pyatt and Michael Busto.
### Professional
#### New York Rangers (2011--2018) {#new_york_rangers_20112018}
On July 6, 2010, McDonagh signed an entry-level contract with the Rangers, forgoing his senior season at Wisconsin and joining childhood friend and former Wisconsin teammate Derek Stepan in New York. After beginning the 2010--11 season with the Rangers\' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, he was promoted to the Rangers on January 3, 2011. He played his first career NHL game on January 7, 2011, against the Dallas Stars. He then earned his first NHL point on an assist of a Brandon Prust goal against the Carolina Hurricanes on January 20. On March 20, McDonagh was the victim of an elbow to the head from Pittsburgh Penguins forward Matt Cooke, who was subsequently suspended for the remainder of the regular season and the first round of the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs.
On April 9, 2011, McDonagh scored the game-winning goal, the first of his career, against the New Jersey Devils, earning the Rangers the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. As a result of the 2012--13 NHL lockout, McDonagh signed a contract with Barys Astana of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He became the first American NHL player to join the KHL as a result of the lockout.
On July 8, 2013, McDonagh signed a new six-year, \$28.2 million contract with New York. He led all Rangers defensemen with 43 points in the 2013--14 season as the Rangers finished fifth in the Eastern Conference. The team defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens en route to the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals against the Los Angeles Kings, where the Rangers lost the series 4--1. During the playoffs, McDonagh was tied for the lead amongst defensemen in assists (13) and ranked second in points (17). For his season\'s efforts, McDonagh was named Rangers\' MVP and the recipient of the Players\' Player Award, given to the Ranger \"who best exemplifies what it means to be a team player\". He became just the second Rangers defenseman to hold both awards after Brian Leetch did so in the 2002--03 season.
On October 6, 2014, McDonagh was named the 27th captain in Rangers history, filling the vacancy left by Ryan Callahan the previous season, and the first defenseman since Brian Leetch in 1997 to be named captain. Martin St. Louis, Marc Staal, Dan Girardi and Derek Stepan were named his alternates. McDonagh became the fourth-youngest Ranger captain and 11th defenseman to hold the honor. In his first season as captain, he led his team to the Presidents\' Trophy and were ultimately eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals by the Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games. On May 30, 2015, it was revealed that McDonagh had played the final three games of the series with a broken foot.
McDonagh continued his strong play and leadership into the 2015--16 season, his second as team captain. However, during a February 6, 2016, game against the Philadelphia Flyers, McDonagh suffered a concussion after getting punched by Flyers\' forward Wayne Simmonds after McDonagh cross-checked Simmonds. McDonagh missed eight games as a result, including a February 14 rematch between the two teams, during which Rangers\' rookie defenseman Dylan McIlrath fought Simmonds. Still feeling the effects of the concussion, McDonagh was scratched for two games of the Rangers first round playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, which the Rangers ultimately lost in five games as the Penguins eventually went on to win the Stanley Cup.
#### Tampa Bay Lightning (2018--2022) {#tampa_bay_lightning_20182022}
On February 26, 2018, McDonagh was traded (along with J. T. Miller) to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Libor Hájek, Brett Howden, Vladislav Namestnikov, a first-round pick in the 2018 NHL entry draft, and a conditional second-round pick in the 2019 NHL entry draft. The trade followed weeks of trade rumors fueled by a team letter to Rangers fans on February 8, announcing a rebuild. On April 18, McDonagh played in his 100th career NHL playoff game.
On June 1, 2018, Ryan McDonagh signed a seven-year, \$47.25 million contract extension with the Lightning. During the 2018--19 season, McDonagh would enjoy the best offensive season of his career, playing all 82 games and scoring 9 goals and 46 points during his first full-season in Tampa Bay, finishing 8th in Norris Trophy voting. However, McDonagh was held pointless in Tampa Bay\'s first-round upset loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
In the 2019--20 season, McDonagh embraced his role, along with his defensive partner Erik Černák, as Tampa Bay\'s shutdown defensive pairing. During the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs, McDonagh would return to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2014, while he was a member of the Rangers. This time, the Lightning emerged victorious, winning McDonagh his first Stanley Cup championship.
McDonagh continued his role as one of Tampa Bay\'s shutdown defenders in the COVID-delayed 2020--21 season. On June 8, 2021, McDonagh played in his 150th Stanley Cup playoff game against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Lightning would go on to repeat as champions in 2021, winning McDonagh his second-consecutive championship. McDonagh led all skaters in plus--minus at +18 during the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs.
#### Nashville Predators (2022--2024) {#nashville_predators_20222024}
On July 3, 2022, McDonagh was traded to the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenseman Philippe Myers and forward Grant Mismash.

After two seasons in Nashville, McDonagh was re-acquired by the Lightning on May 21, 2024, in exchange for a second-round pick in 2025 and a seventh-round pick in 2024.
During the 2024--25 season on March 27, 2025, McDonagh played his 1,000th NHL game.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
On July 19, 2013, McDonagh married long-time girlfriend Kaylee Keys at Our Lady of Victory Chapel in his hometown of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Former National Football League quarterback Steve Walsh is his uncle.
After being drafted, McDonagh attended the University of Wisconsin--Madison for three seasons, playing with their ice hockey team, before foregoing his final year to turn pro with the Rangers. In January 2021, McDonagh re-enrolled with the school, taking online classes to complete his final 18 credits and graduate with a degree in Personal Finance. McDonagh studies on days he does not have NHL games and revealed he had always planned to return to school to graduate but core courses were not available remotely while he played professionally, and was able to attend again after courses he was interested in were migrated online during the school\'s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Wisconsin.

# The Gift (2003 film)
***The Gift*** is a 2003 documentary film by filmmaker Louise Hogarth documenting the phenomenon of deliberate HIV infection; such practices are known colloquially as bugchasing, for seeking and providing voluntary HIV infection, respectively. The film follows the stories of two \"bug chasers\" who are seeking \"the gift\" of HIV infection. Interviews are also conducted with AIDS activist and author, Walt Odets, PhD, and HIV positive and negative men. The film explores the normalization and glamorization of HIV/AIDS and discusses the isolation and division caused by HIV status in the gay community.
## Synopsis
Doug Hitzel, a young man, reveals that after a year of unsuccessful dating he decided to engage in unprotected sex in an attempt to fit in; he is then seen crying.
Kenboy, another young man, explains he moved to an LA sex house with sex parties and was relieved to finally catch HIV; the sex parties were known as \"Standard Fuck Parties\". Condoms were traditionally barred from use, though at the time of filming the rule had been changed to mere discouragement of condom usage. Anywhere from 100 to 120 men would typically attend these sex parties. The sex party attendants were equipped with numerous sexual paraphernalia for participating in a variety of sexual acts. There were \"fuck pews\" for bottoms to kneel on while their \"top\" sexual partners penetrated them, and there was an area reserved for the fisting men, who tended to aggregate together. In the event of good weather, some of the men who go outside to engage in various sexual acts in the well-maintained courtyard. This in particular was considered to be quite romantic by the sex house residents. From then on, Kenboy would not have to worry about getting AIDS or not, or using a condom (failing to think of the possibility of catching other STIs).
A group of older men, who did not get HIV on their own volition, explain how they lost many of their friends and lovers to HIV, and how they do not want a relationship because they do not want their boyfriend having to bury them too. They also talk about the medication which they must take, and about its side-effects - particularly cardiac attacks, which seem to have replaced direct death from the virus itself. Advertising for prevention is also exposed for being too positive and showing images of attractive men with AIDS.
## Reception
*The Age* wrote that \"The reaction of the gay press in Australia and the United States to *The Gift* and the *Rolling Stone* article \[about bug-chasing\] has largely been to report the controversy, but not to investigate the phenomenon

# Ron Jessie
**Ron Ray Jessie** (February 4, 1948 -- January 13, 2006) was an American professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for the Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills. He played college football for the Kansas Jayhawks.
## Early years {#early_years}
Jessie attended Yuma High School where he was a three-sport athlete: all-division in basketball, all-state in football and track & field.
After high school, he initially enrolled at Arizona Western College, before transferring to Imperial Valley College, where he played as a wide receiver and was a part of the track & field squad.
Jessie received a scholarship from the University of Kansas where he also practiced both sports. He was a part of the school\'s national championship track team in 1969, while winning the NCAA indoor long jump championship with a leap of 25--2.5 and receiving All-American honors. In other track meets, he high jumped 6--6 and was timed at 13.8 seconds in the 110 metres hurdles.
In football, he played running back in the same backfield with John Riggins and was also used as a split end. He finished with 33 receptions for 644 yards, more than 1,500 total yards in offense and 5 touchdowns. In 1970, he set a school record with 494 kickoff return yards.
In 2010, he was inducted into the Imperial Valley College Hall of Fame.
## Professional career {#professional_career}
### Dallas Cowboys {#dallas_cowboys}
Jessie was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the eighth round (206th overall) of the 1971 NFL draft. On July 27, he was traded to the Detroit Lions in exchange for a fourth-round draft choice (#93-Chuck Zapiec).
### Detroit Lions {#detroit_lions}
As a rookie, Jessie contributed mainly on kickoff returns. The next year, he became a starter at wide receiver and the team\'s deep threat, which included an 82-yard touchdown reception.
On April 8, 1974, Jessie signed with the Birmingham Americans for the 1975 season of the WFL, but the team folded at the end of the 1974 season. He finished the season ranked as the sixth leading wide receiver in the NFL with 761 yards and fourth in receptions (54).
The courts ruled in favor of the NFLPA and a new form of free agency was briefly instituted in 1975. After playing out his contract, Jessie was signed by the Los Angeles Rams, but then commissioner Pete Rozelle mandated the team to send the Lions their number one draft choice (#8-Dennis Lick) along with Cullen Bryant as compensation. Bryant filed for a temporary restraining order from the courts and would never play for the Lions. The Lions eventually traded the Rams\' first round draft choice to the Chicago Bears, in exchange for their first (#10-James Hunter) and third round pick (#68-Russ Bolinger).
### Los Angeles Rams {#los_angeles_rams}
Jessie\'s best season was in 1976, when he was voted to the Pro Bowl after registering 34 receptions for 779 yards and six touchdowns. The next year, he was placed on the injured reserve list after suffering a knee injury against the San Francisco 49ers.
In 1979, Jessie was placed on the injured reserve list after suffering a broken leg against the New Orleans Saints, that also prevented him from playing in the 31--19 Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
On July 31, 1980, he was traded to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for a seventh-round draft choice (#187-Victor Simmons).
### Buffalo Bills {#buffalo_bills}

# Old Lutherans
Old Lutheran Church}} `{{Use dmy dates|date=October 2014}}`{=mediawiki} `{{lutheranism|expanded=movements}}`{=mediawiki} **Old Lutherans** were German Lutherans in the Kingdom of Prussia, especially in the Province of Silesia, who refused to join the Prussian Union of churches in the 1830s and 1840s. Prussia\'s king, Frederick William III, was determined to unify the Protestant churches, homogenize their liturgy, organization, and architecture. In a series of proclamations over several years the *Church of the Prussian Union* was formed, bringing together a group that was majority Lutheran and minority Reformed. As a result, the government of Prussia had full control over church affairs, with the king recognized as the leading bishop.
Attempted suppression of the Old Lutherans led many to emigrate to Australia, Canada, and the United States, resulting in the creation of significant Lutheran denominations in those countries.
The legacy of Old Lutherans also survives in the Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church in modern Germany.
## The Prussian Union {#the_prussian_union}
In 1799 King Frederick William III of Prussia issued a decree for a new common liturgical Agenda (service book) to be published, for use in both the Lutheran and Reformed congregations. To accomplish this, a commission to prepare a common agenda was formed.
After more than 20 years of effort, a common liturgical agenda was finally published in 1821. The agenda was not well received by many Lutherans, as it was seen to compromise in the wording of the Words of Institution, to the point where the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist was not proclaimed.
The Protestant congregations were directed in 1822 to use only the newly formulated agenda for worship. This met with strong objections and non-compliance from Lutheran pastors around Prussia.
The liturgical agenda was subsequently modified to appease many of the objections of the dissenting Lutherans, and in 1830 Frederick William ordered all Protestant congregations in Prussia to celebrate the Lord\'s Supper using the new agenda.
Rather than having the unifying effect that Frederick William desired, the decree created a great deal of dissent among Lutheran congregations.
In a compromise with dissenters, who had now earned the name \"Old Lutherans\", in 1834 Frederick William issued a decree which stated that Union would only be in the areas of governance and liturgy, but the respective congregations could retain their confessional identities. In addition to this, dissenters were forbidden from organizing sectarian groups.
In defiance of this decree, a number of Lutheran pastors and congregations continued to use the old liturgical agenda and sacramental rites of the Lutheran church.
Becoming aware of this defiance, officials sought out those who acted against the decree. Pastors who were caught were suspended from their ministry. If suspended pastors were caught acting in a pastoral role, they were imprisoned.
Among the leaders of the Old Lutherans was Johann Gottfried Scheibel (1783--1843). Scheibel was a professor of theology in Breslau from 1818 until 1830 when he was suspended from his post for his dissenting views.
Scheibel came to prominence as a leader of the Old Lutherans in the dissent against the Prussian Union. He spoke, preached and wrote against the Union, which consequently resulted in suspension from his post as theological professor.
Undaunted, Scheibel continued in his dissent as he moved to new cities. He was at Dresden in 1832 where he was ordered to leave that same year. He moved to Hermsdorf, where likewise he was asked to leave in 1836, then on to Glauchau and Nuremberg.
He died at Nuremberg about the time that he was being restored to his post as professor at Breslau.
After Scheibel, Eduard Huschke became the leader of Old Lutherans. Other famous Old Lutherans included Henrik Steffens, H. E. F. Guericke, Kahnis and Rudolf Rocholl.
Union also caused a confessional Lutheran counter-reaction called Neo-Lutheranism.
Upon Frederick William\'s death in 1840, persecution of the Old Lutherans eased substantially. However, Old Lutherans continued to find themselves marginalized, especially the clergy who did not have many of the same rights and support accorded to clergy of the Union church.
Old Lutherans formed several synods (e.g. in 1841 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Prussia, seated in Breslau, officially recognised on 23 July 1845), which through various mergers eventually resulted in the present-day Independent Evangelical-Lutheran Church (SELK).

## Immigration to Australia, New Zealand and America {#immigration_to_australia_new_zealand_and_america}
By 1835 many dissenting Old Lutheran groups were looking to emigration as a means to finding religious freedom. Some groups emigrated to Australia and the United States in the years leading up to 1841.
### Australian and New Zealand migration {#australian_and_new_zealand_migration}
The first Lutherans to come to Australia in any significant number were immigrants from Prussia, who arrived in South Australia in 1838 with Pastor August Kavel. These immigrants created three settlements at Klemzig, Hahndorf, and Glen Osmond. In 1841, a second wave of Prussian immigrants arrived, led by Pastor Gotthard Fritzsche. His group settled in Lobethal and Bethanien.
The Lutherans in South Australia established the Killalpaninna Mission (Bethesda) Station at Cooper\'s Creek. Johann Flierl, the pioneer missionary of German New Guinea, served there for seven years (1878--1885). When he left for Kaiser-Wilhelmsland in 1885, his cousin, also named Johann Flierl, replaced him at the mission.
There have been five waves of migration into the Lutheran Church in New Zealand:
- In the 1840s people came from Germany.
- In the 1860s a second wave of migrants from Germany settled in Marton in the Rangitikei. Some had first settled in Australia.
- In the 1870s significant numbers arrived from Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia.
- In the years after World War II many came from Europe.
- In the early part of the 21st century there has been an influx of people from Africa, Asia and other parts of the world.
In January 1843, just three years after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, the first Lutheran missionaries arrived in Otago. They found that the Wesleyan and Anglican Mission Societies were already well established in New Zealand. They therefore took up the suggestion that they move to the Chatham Islands where they arrived on 20 February of that year. As someone said, they had \"\...faith in their souls and next to nothing in their pockets.\"`{{quote without source|date=October 2022}}`{=mediawiki}
In June of the same year, 1843, a shipload of German migrants arrived in Nelson. They settled in what is now Upper Moutere and built a church. There is still a thriving Lutheran congregation worshipping on this site.
In the 1860s a number of German people arrived in the Rangitikei. They convinced others from German speaking communities in South Australia to join them. Most initially settled along Pukepapa Road in Marton, which is still the location of the St Martin\'s Lutheran Church.
In the 1870s other Lutheran migrants arrived in New Zealand including large numbers from Scandinavia who settled in the Wairarapa, Manawatu and Hawkes Bay regions. Norsewood and Dannevirke owe their origins to these settlers.
### North American migrations {#north_american_migrations}
Numerous waves of Old Lutherans immigrated to the United States as well during this time period. Among them was a group from Prussia of about 1000 Old Lutherans. They were from Erfurt, Magdeburg and the surrounding area, led by J. A. A. Grabau. They emigrated to the United States in summer 1839. Grabau and his friends founded the \"Synod of Lutherans immigrated from Prussia\", afterward known as the Buffalo Synod.
Thousands of other Old Lutherans settled in the Midwest and Upper Midwest of the United States during this period. In addition to Old Lutherans there were also Neo-Lutheran immigrants from the German Kingdom of Saxony, where there was no evangelical union. Lutheran pastor Martin Stephan and nearly 1100 other Saxon Lutherans left for the United States in November 1838, eventually settling in and around St. Louis, Missouri in the Saxon Lutheran immigration of 1838--39. These were the predecessors to the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod

# The Smoke
**The Smoke** were an English psychedelic pop group from York. They consisted of Mick Rowley (lead vocals), Mal Luker (lead guitar), John \"Zeke\" Lund (bass) and Geoff Gill (drums and compositor).
The band originally performed around Yorkshire as The Moonshots, changing their name to The Shots when they moved to London. There were two bands playing R&B and other cover versions, one called Tony Adams and the Viceroys, which included John \'Zeke\' Lund on bass, Mal Luker on lead guitar and Geoff Gill on drums. The other band was The Moonshots, which included Mick Rowley on lead vocals and Phil Peacock on rhythm guitar (born Philip Peacock, 7 June 1946, Newcastle, Northumbria). These bands then came together to form The Shots and made a single for Columbia, \"Keep A Hold Of What You\'ve Got\", which flopped. Peacock left the band, and they then changed their name to The Smoke.
The Smoke\'s biggest hit was \"My Friend Jack\" (German Chart: No. 2, UK Singles Chart: No. 45); the BBC banned airplay of the song over its then alleged, though highly apparent, drug references. Later singles released under the band name often had variations on the remaining trio of Lund, Luker and Gill, performing along with session musicians to pad out the sound. All failed to sell in any numbers.
Guitarist Lund later became a sound engineer for Boney M., who recorded a cover version of \"My Friend Jack\".

# Baranoa
**Baranoa** is a municipality and city in the colombian department of Atlántico and widely known for being the birth city of the very first documented black president of Colombia, Juan José Nieto Gil. Its geographical location has historically led to the coining of the name \"El corazón alegre del Atlántico\", (\"The happy heart of the Atlantic\" in English), since it is located almost exactly in the center of the department.
## Geography
The municipality occupies an area of 121.3 km^2^, including rural, urban, suburban and protected land.
Baranoa is irrigated by several creeks including Santa Rosa, Campeche, Big creek and Deep creek.
## Demographics
Baranoa has a population of 62,382 (2018 census). 82.63% of these are concentrated in the urban area and 17.37% in rural areas.
## History
Baranoa was an indigenous settlement located close to Big Creek (Arroyo Grande) when the Spanish conquered it under the command of Don Pedro de Heredia in 1534.
In October 1543, it was commended by the Spanish Crown to Hernando Dávila. Further commendations were given to Inés de Mendoza (1556), Hernando De la Salas (1568) and José De las Salas (1609). Viceroy Sebastian de Eslava ordered a reformation of the town between 1744 and 1745. As a consequence, 39 Spanish families made their home there, creating the Parish of Santa Ana of Baranoa.
On 23 October 1856, the municipality of Baranoa was created, based on the number of inhabitants and development level. The municipality category, as well as its boundaries, was ratified on 16 December 1964.
## Economy
Economic activities are focused on cattle raising, corn, cassava, cotton and Jocote plum farming. A Plum Festival takes place in northern Colombia. Calcite and iron minerals are mined

# David Leslie (Oregon politician)
**David Leslie** (1797 -- March 1, 1869) was an American missionary and pioneer in what became the state of Oregon. A native of New Hampshire, he joined Jason Lee as a missionary at the Methodist Mission in the Oregon Country in 1836. In that region he participated in the early movement to start a government and his home was used for some of these meetings. With the closing of the mission he became a founder of the city of Salem, Oregon, and board member of the Oregon Institute, which later became Willamette University.
## Early life {#early_life}
Born in New Hampshire in the town of Washington, Leslie lost his parents while he was young. Born in 1797, Leslie was the son of a minister (George Leslie) and received an education first in Salem, Massachusetts, and later at the Wilbraham Academy where fellow missionary Jason Lee would later attend. There David Leslie studied languages, especially French. He then received a license to preach at the age of 23 in 1820.
## Oregon
While still in New England, Leslie began work with the Methodist Episcopal Church. There he began a working relationship with Jason Lee. Lee then recruited Leslie to join the Methodist Mission in Oregon Country that Lee started in 1834. So in 1836, Leslie agreed to go to the Willamette Valley as the first set of reinforcements to the mission. Leslie, his wife Mary A. Kinney, and three daughters sailed around Cape Horn and arrived in Oregon on the *Sumatra* on September 7, 1837.
Once in Oregon Lee assigned Leslie to be a magistrate for the area south of the Columbia River. Then in March 1838 Leslie was left in charge of the mission while Lee traveled back east again to secure more people for the mission in what would become the Great Reinforcement of 1839. After Lee returned Leslie helped to start a branch mission with William H. Willson at Nisqually on the Puget Sound in modern Washington state. Then in 1840 from August through September David Leslie was in charge of a small group that explored further north, nearly reaching Russian-America to look for other locations for future branches of the mission.
At this time the Methodist Mission began moving from Mission Bottom to Mission Mill due to flooding at the former. Here Leslie helped construct the new sawmill and dam. He also helped organize the Methodist Episcopal Church of Salem, and then serving as its first pastor in 1841. Also in 1841 the Leslie home burned with all their possessions.
## Politics
On February 18, 1841, a meeting was held to discuss the idea of creating a government in Oregon Country. This meeting was held at Leslie's home, and was in part a response to the death of pioneer Ewing Young. Young had died without a will or known heir, so the settlers needed a way to settle his estate as his business dealings were entangled with many of the other settlers. Not only did David Leslie host this meeting, but he also participated in the discussions about forming a government. Although only a few decisions were ultimately made (election of Dr. Ira L. Babcock as a supreme judge to deal with the Young estate), this was the first of the Champoeg Meetings that two years later would lead to the creation of the Provisional Government of Oregon.
These subsequent meetings began in the spring of 1843. Then on May 2, 1843, a vote was held and the settlers voted in favor of creating a government in the region by a vote of 52 to 50. David Leslie participated in these meetings and he voted in favor of creating the government at the May vote at Champoeg.

## Family
During this time in Oregon, Leslie and his wife had two more daughters, but Mary died in February 1842. Mary was buried at the Pioneer Cemetery, which was part of the Leslie land claim as the first person buried there. Without his wife to assist in raising the children, Leslie decided to take them to a mission in Hawaii where there was a school for them. As they waited to leave Astoria on the mouth of the Columbia River, one of the daughters (Satira age 15) left the ship and married Cornelius Rogers. Leslie accepted the marriage and then left two other daughters, Helen and Aurelia, in the new couples' care. Leslie then continued on to Hawaii where he left the two remaining daughters Mary and Sarah at a boarding school. Sarah died a year later in Hawaii, while Cornelius, Satira and Aurelia also died that year in Oregon when their canoe went over Willamette Falls. Additionally two natives and Nathaniel Crocker died in that accident of February 1843.
By spring of 1843 David Leslie had returned from Hawaii to the mission. However, by this time the mission was beginning to be closed in Salem for a lack of natives to convert due to disease that had decimated the original inhabitants of the region. The missionary board had sent the Reverend George Gary from New York to reorganize the mission. He was housed in Leslie's home. Still Leslie remained and married Adelia Judson Olley on January 7, 1844. Adelia brought two-year-old Robert Thomas to the marriage from her prior marriage to the deceased James Olley. She was the sister of Reverend Lewis H. Judson. The new couple had two children, Emma and Sarah, both of whom died before the age of seven. The only child to outlive Leslie was Helen.

## Later life {#later_life}
After the closing of the Methodist Mission in Salem, David Leslie received the land in what is now between Bush\'s Pasture Park and the Willamette River, and McGilchrist and Mission streets in Salem. On that land he grew apples and pears, and built the fourth house in the city. In 1845, he was elected as the president of the board of trustees at the Oregon Institute, and he held that role until his death. During this time Oregon Institute would become Willamette University, and Leslie laid the cornerstone for Waller Hall that still stands today as the oldest building on Willamette's campus.
Meanwhile, in 1860 he sold 100 acre of his farm to Asahel Bush II. In the civic arena, he helped found the local Masonic Order chapter, the local Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. M., and served as the territory's first chaplain of the legislature. Leslie died on May 1, 1869, in Salem, Oregon, and was buried at the I.O.O.F. cemetery. This is the same cemetery in which his first wife is buried.
## Legacy
Leslie Middle School in Salem, Oregon is named in his honor

# Land use capability map
**Land use capability maps** are maps created to represent the potential uses of a \"unit\" of land. They are measured using various indicators, although the most common are five physical factors (rock type, soil type, slope, erosion degree and type, and vegetation). In more scientific terms, these can be classed as lithology, edaphology, topography, gradient, and biotic features.
Land use capability maps must not be confused with land use maps. The former shows the potential uses (usually in relation to farming) whilst the latter shows the actual use for the land at the present time

# Peak Tower
**The Peak Tower** is a shopping complex located at Victoria Gap, near the summit of Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It also houses the upper terminal of the Peak Tram, a funicular railway. Both the Peak Tower and the Peak Tram are owned by the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels group, the owner of Hong Kong\'s Peninsula Hotel and other properties. The tower and tram are jointly promoted by the collective branding known as **The Peak**.
The Peak Tower is located at an elevation of 396 m (1,299 ft), 156 m (512 ft) below the summit of Victoria Peak. Because the architects sought a design which would be prominent on the skyline but would not interrupt the natural line of the hills, they chose a site in a dip along the line of the hills, and restricted the tower\'s height to 428 m above sea level.
## History
The Peak Tram opened in 1888. A wooden structure was built as its first upper terminus station.
The current Peak Tower is the second on the site. `{{stack|

[[File:Hong Kong Peak Tower IMG 5295.JPG|thumb|Interior of The Peak Tower]]
}}`{=mediawiki}
### First design {#first_design}
The first peak Tower was designed by Hong Kong architect Chung Wah Nan. Construction started in 1971, and it was opened to the public on 29 August 1972.
The Tower Restaurant, a western restaurant, opened in the same year. It was situated on the top deck while the Peak Coffee Shop was located on the floor below. Both the upper floors were supported by two columns allowing a clear space between the upper and lower parts of the tower. This design feature has been retained in the redeveloped tower, but with quite a different shape to the upper section. On the ground floor of the building, there was a Chinese restaurant. It was open until 1981.
The first tower was demolished in 1993 and a groundbreaking ceremony on the new tower was held later the same year.
### Second design {#second_design}
The current Peak Tower was the work of the British architect Terry Farrell, and was completed in 1997. It has seven floors with a total area of 10,400 m² (112,000 ft²) with a *wok* shape at the top. A viewing platform located on the third floor overlooks Victoria Harbour.
The building was altered from 2005--2006 at a cost of \$100 million. The lower portion was glassed in to increase retail space, and the escalators were relocated. The Peak Tower now has eight floors with the viewing terrace relocated to the top of the building (at the top of the \'wok\' shape) that overlooks both Victoria Harbour and Aberdeen (SW of the Hong Kong Island); however, severe air pollution often hinders the outlook from this venue.
## Attractions
Apart from the Peak Tram terminal, viewing terrace, and gift shops, the tower also included several attractions: *Ripley\'s Believe It or Not! Odditorium*, *Hong Kong\'s Historical Adventure* (a journey through scenes of the Hong Kong\'s early history, and the first computer-operated entertainment ride in Hong Kong) and the *Peak Explorer Motion Simulator*.
In 2000, after the closure of *Hong Kong\'s Historical Adventure*, *Madame Tussauds Hong Kong* moved in to occupy the former vacated premises to become the first Madame Tussauds permanent outlet in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Peak Tower is located close to a second leisure and shopping centre, the Peak Galleria, built atop the bus station used by the public buses and green minibuses that serve the Peak

# Euronics
**Euronics International Ltd.** is an international association of over 11,000 independent electrical retailers in 37 countries. It functions as a leading international electrical retail group on behalf of its members, and is based in Amsterdam. It operates as a European Economic Interest Grouping entity (an EEIG) meaning that all stores are independent sellers.
## History
Euronics International was founded in 1990 by five national groups from Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. The groups realized at the time that they had to react to the structural changes brought about by globalization to remain competitive. At the same time they would preserve the advantages of specialising in the trade of mainly electronics by maintaining qualified employees, specialist knowledge and personal customer service.
The five groups formed an EEIG in order to have the flexibility of having separate businesses, as well as each business having local knowledge of their area, but the buying power and branding involved with having a single entity.

# KSRV-FM
**KSRV-FM** (96.1 MHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Ontario, Oregon, and broadcasting to the Boise metropolitan area. KSRV-FM is owned by the Iliad Media Group Holdings Employee Stock Ownership Trust, through licensee Iliad Media Group Holdings Inc., and airs an adult hits radio format known as \"Bob FM 96.1.\" The studios and offices are on East Franklin Road in Nampa, Idaho.
KSRV-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 47,000 watts. The transmitter is off Shafer Butte Road in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, amid the towers for other Boise-area FM and TV stations. The signal covers a large section of Western Idaho and a small section of Eastern Oregon.
## History
### Top 40 (1977--1987) {#top_40_19771987}
On July 4, 1977, the station signed on as KXBQ. It was owned by Ontario Broadcasting Company and aired a contemporary Top 40 format. In 1982, it was acquired by Capps Broadcasting, which also owned AM 1380 KSRV.
### Adult contemporary (1987--200?) {#adult_contemporary_1987200}
In 1987, it switched its call sign to KSRV-FM, airing an adult contemporary format, while the AM station played country music. At the time, KSRV-FM only broadcast at 27,000 watts from a 280 foot tower, so its signal did not reach the larger Boise market. It was later that the power was nearly doubled and the transmitter moved to a much taller tower near Boise, making its signal competitive with other FM stations in the Boise radio market, as a \"move-in\" station.
### Country (200?--2007) {#country_2002007}
KSRV-FM aired a country music format branded as \"The Bull\".
### Adult hits (2007--present) {#adult_hits_2007present}
On March 30, 2007, the country format was dropped in favor of an adult hits format. Branded as Bob FM, it plays an array of hit artists from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Boise is one of the rare markets with competing adult hits stations: KJOT airs a similar format, branded \"Jack FM\".
Bob FM is widely known for its morning show, [*Rick & Carly in the Morning*](https://961bobfm.com/rick-carly/), which airs weekdays from 6 a.m to 10 a.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; it is also available as a podcast.
## Fox Sports Boise HD2 subchannel {#fox_sports_boise_hd2_subchannel}
On October 7, 2021, KSRV-FM began HD Radio broadcasting and launched a sports format on its HD2 subchannel and a new translator (K260CU) at 99.9 MHz, branded as \"Fox Sports Boise\" and airing national Fox Sports Radio programming.

# Coirpre mac Néill
**Coirpre mac Néill** (*fl*. *c*. 485--493), also **Cairbre** or **Cairpre**, was said to be a son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. Coirpre was perhaps the leader of the conquests that established the southern Uí Néill in the midlands of Ireland. The record of the Irish annals suggests that Coirpre\'s successes were reattributed to Muirchertach Macc Ercae. Coirpre is portrayed as an enemy of Saint Patrick in Bishop Tirechán\'s hagiography and his descendants are said to have been cursed by Patrick so that none would be High King of Ireland. Coirpre is excluded from most lists of High Kings, but included in the earliest.
In later times Coirpre\'s descendants, the Cenél Coirpri, ruled over three small kingdoms---Cairbre Drom Cliabh in north County Sligo, an area in modern County Longford and at the headwaters of the River Boyne---which may be the remains of a once much larger kingdom stretching 100 mi from Donegal Bay to the Boyne.
## Sons of Conn, grandsons of Niall {#sons_of_conn_grandsons_of_niall}
The Uí Néill---the grandsons, or descendants, of Niall of the Nine Hostages---dominated the northern half of Ireland from the 7th century, and perhaps earlier. The various Uí Néill kingdoms, their allies, client kingdoms and subject tribes, comprised most of the province of Ulster, all of Connacht, and a large part of Leinster. Elaborate genealogies showed the descent of the various Uí Néill, while allies and favoured clients descended from Niall\'s brothers or other kinsmen. However, since Uí Néill means grandsons of Niall, the Uí Néill cannot have existed before the time of Niall\'s grandsons, towards the middle of the 6th century.
Medieval genealogists provided Niall with a large number of sons, some of doubtful historicity. Maine, ancestor of the Cenél Maini is generally presumed to be a late addition. The dates claimed for Lóegaire mac Néill, \"great pagan Emperor of the Irish\" and adversary of Saint Patrick in Muirchiu and Tirechán\'s 7th century lives, may make him an unlikely son of Niall. Diarmait mac Cerbaill, apical ancestor of the Síl nÁedo Sláine and Clann Cholmáin, the leading southern branches of the Uí Néill, is presented in the genealogies as the grandson of Niall\'s son Conall Cremthainne, but this is doubtful. As for Coirpre, he is called a son of Niall in one of the earliest surviving sources, Tirechán\'s life of Saint Patrick.
The kinship of the Northern and Southern Uí Néill is likely a politically convenient fiction, as several royal lines of the north belong to the Y-DNA R-M222 subclade, but this lineage does not seem to be present in the areas of Southern Uí Néill control.

# Coirpre mac Néill
## Conquests
Medieval Irish traditions claimed that the lands of the Uí Néill were conquered by Niall of the Nine Hostages and his sons, together with their allies. Coirpre may have led some of the earliest recorded Uí Néill conquests in the midlands. The annals appear to show that a number of victories, by Coirpre and others, or by persons unnamed, were later attributed to Macc Ercae, or to Muirchertach mac Muiredaig, who may be the same person.
From north-west to south-east, there were two kingdoms named for Coirpre mac Néill in early historical times. These were Cenél Coirpi Dromma Clíab, north Sligo on Donegal Bay, and Cenél Coirpri Mór, the northern half of Tethbae around Granard in modern County Longford. This alignment of territories may suggest that the kingdom of Coirpre and its satellites once extended over 100 miles across Ireland. A third Cenél Coirpri, the region around Carbury and the headwaters of the River Boyne in the north-west of County Kildare, is of much later origins.
In a year given as 485, Coirpre was credited with a victory at Grainert, perhaps modern Granard, where the chief church of Cenél Coirpri Mór of Tethbae was in later times. In the addition, which notes that the battle was won by \"Mac Ercae as some say,\" the annal adds that Fincath mac Garrchu of the Dál Messin Corb, perhaps king of Leinster, was killed there. A second battle at Grainert is recorded under the year 495, repeated under 497, and here Fincath\'s son Fráech is said to have been killed by Coirpre\'s son Eochu.
Under the year 494, duplicated under 496, the annals record a victory by Coirpre over the Leinstermen at Tailtiu, in later times site of an important óenach, the *óenach Tailten*. Two further victories are reported, one under 497 at Slemain of Mide, probably near modern Mullingar, County Westmeath, and one under 499, at Cend Ailbe, perhaps somewhere in modern County Carlow.
Cenél Coirpre were associated with both Tailtiu and Granard in the earliest writings, but there is nothing in the annals to explain an early link with Carbury which could be as late as the twelfth century. While the annals cannot be relied upon at such an early date, the core of their account, a war between Coirpre and his sons and Fincath and his sons, as well as the association with Tailtiu and Granard, while a tradition, is likely to be one. Byrne, however, raises a note of caution: \"It is true, however, that the names of Coirpre, Fiachu, Maine and Lóegaire continue to be used in later centuries simply to denote the kingdoms or dynasties descended from those sons of Niall, just as we find the names Benjamin, Dan or Juda similarly used in the Bible \...\".

# Coirpre mac Néill
## Rewriting history {#rewriting_history}
Late writings of doubtful reliability say that Coirpre\'s mother was Rígnach ingen Meadaib. His son Eochu appears in the annals, but not in the most comprehensive genealogical collection. Another son, Cormac, is said to be Túathal Máelgarb\'s father Cormac Cáech, although Tiréchan\'s account of Saint Patrick cursing Coirpre\'s descendants may make this a late addition. A third son, Cal, is a spurious late addition.
Apart from Coirpre himself and his putative grandson Túathal Máelgarb, no king of Cenél Coirpri is included in later lists of High Kings of Ireland. Later kings of Cenél Coirpri are mentioned in the *Annals of Ulster* and other Irish annals with some frequency, although usually only to report their deaths.
In earlier historical times, Cenél Coirpri may have been of sufficient importance to attract the attention of largely hostile writers. Tirechán\'s life of Patrick states that Coirpre was cursed by the saint, at Tailtiu, so that none of his descendants would be High King. The obvious omission, an explanation for the rule of Túathal Máelgarb, was corrected by later hagiographers. In the earliest surviving list, that in the *Baile Chuind*, Túathal appears not under his own name but as the kenning Óengarb. Túathal Máelgarb is portrayed in a poor light by later writers dealing with the life of Diarmait mac Cerbaill. Diarmait\'s descendants, Clann Cholmáin and the Síl nÁedo Sláine, probably replaced the kindreds of Coirpre and Fiachu as the dominant families of the Irish midlands. Coirpre himself, while excluded from later synthetic lists of kings of Tara or High Kings of Ireland, is included in the early *Baile Chuind*, coming between Lóegaire and Lugaide

# Jay Hieron
**Jay Hieron** (born July 29, 1976) is an American actor, stuntman and former mixed martial artist. Hieron was the final IFL Welterweight Champion, competing for the Los Angeles Anacondas, and has also competed in the UFC, WEC, Affliction, Strikeforce, and Bellator.
## Early life {#early_life}
Hieron went to live with John and Theo Hieronymous when he was a newborn due to the fact that his mother had trouble raising him. He was officially adopted by the couple when he was eight years old.
Hieron, a two-time state wrestling championship runner-up at Freeport (N.Y.) High School and national Junior College Champion at Nassau (N.Y.) Community College, where he earned an associate degree, Hieron later attended Hofstra University. Before his senior year at Hofstra University, he tested positive for marijuana, and was unable to wrestle his senior year.
## Mixed martial arts {#mixed_martial_arts}
After being kicked off the wrestling team at Hofstra University, Hieron began dealing drugs before being charged with a felony. He turned to boxing to let his aggressions out on the bags. Finding this to be a good stress-reliever, and with the encouragement of some friends who trained in MMA, Hieron combined his wrestling skills and burgeoning boxing prowess into a professional MMA career.
### Early career {#early_career}
In March 2006, Hieron won the Lockdown in Paradise in Lahaina, Hawaii, and in June 2006 won his IFL debut at the IFL Team Championships in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Following the demise of the International Fight League due to financial concerns, Hieron signed with Affliction in August 2008. However, that promotion soon folded as well, so Hieron signed with Strikeforce.
### Strikeforce
Hieron\'s first Strikeforce fight was set to be against fellow former Zuffa competitor Nick Diaz at Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg for the inaugural Strikeforce welterweight title. However, Diaz missed a pre-fight drug test mandated by the California State Athletic Commission and was denied a license to compete. Jesse Taylor was named to replace Diaz and the fight was changed to a non-title bout. Hieron won by unanimous decision. He had his heart set on a title shot against Nick Diaz, but has stated that he would be comfortable fighting any top level opponent, as long as the fight, and name is helping him move forward in his career.
Hieron faced Joe Riggs on January 30, 2010 at Strikeforce: Miami. Hieron won the fight via unanimous decision. After the fight had finished, Hieron\'s contract with Strikeforce was completed, prompting Hieron to immediately call for demands should he sign a new one. The demands included a shot at champion Nick Diaz and guaranteed television spots.
### Bellator Fighting Championships {#bellator_fighting_championships}
Hieron and Explosion Entertainment were unable to come to terms, so Hieron instead ended up signing to fight on Bellator Fighting Championships in the promotion\'s Season 4 welterweight tournament. In the opening quarterfinal round Hieron won via controversial stoppage when referee Josh Rosenthal stopped the bout when Lapsley did not respond to a hand check. Lapsley contested he wasn\'t out and this appeared to be the case, but given the position, it is unlikely that he would have survived the round. Hieron stated in a post-fight interview that Lapsley was gurgling and he felt him going out. Hieron won a controversial unanimous decision victory over Brent Weedman at Bellator 40 to move on to the tournament finals. At Bellator 43 Hieron defeated Rick Hawn via split decision to win the Season 4 Welterweight Tournament. With this victory Hieron earned a title shot against Bellator Welterweight Champion Ben Askren. Askren defeated Hieron via controversial split decision.
### Ultimate Fighting Championship {#ultimate_fighting_championship}
Hieron was expected to face Jake Ellenberger in a rematch on September 1, 2012 at UFC 151, replacing an injured Josh Koscheck. However, after the UFC 151 event was cancelled, Ellenberger/Hieron took place on October 5, 2012 at UFC on FX 5. Hieron lost via unanimous decision.
Hieron was expected to face Erick Silva on February 2, 2013 at UFC 156. However, Silva pulled out of the bout citing an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Tyron Woodley. He lost the fight KO (punches) in round 1 and was subsequently released from the promotion.
On March 7, 2014, Hieron announced his retirement from MMA competition.

# Bob Nardelli
**Robert Louis \"Bob\" Nardelli** (born May 17, 1948) is an American businessman who was the CEO of Freedom Group from September 2010 to March 2012. Prior to that role, Nardelli served as chairman and CEO of Chrysler from August 2007 to April 2009 and CEO of The Home Depot from December 2000 to January 2007. Before joining The Home Depot, Nardelli spent most of his career at General Electric and had risen to become one of the top three executives competing to succeed Jack Welch.
## Early life {#early_life}
Born in Old Forge, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, Nardelli attended Rockford Auburn High School in Rockford, Illinois and received his Bachelor of Science in business from Western Illinois University in Macomb, where he was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Nardelli also earned an MBA from the University of Louisville. He is married to Susan L. Schmulbach with four children and attends Roman Catholic church.
## Career
### General Electric {#general_electric}
He joined General Electric in 1971 as an entry-level manufacturing engineer. From 1988 to 1991, Nardelli was an executive for a division of the construction equipment maker, J. I. Case Company, which was then part of Tenneco.
By 1995, he had risen to president and CEO of GE Power Systems, also having the title of GE senior vice president. Nardelli was often known as *\"Little Jack\"*, after his mentor Jack Welch, whom Nardelli had ambitions to succeed as CEO of GE. When Jack Welch retired as chairman and CEO of GE, a lengthy and well-publicized succession planning saga ensued. Nardelli competed with James McNerney and Jeff Immelt to succeed Welch. With Immelt winning the three-way race, Nardelli and McNerney left GE (as was Welch\'s plan). About ten minutes after Welch let him go, Nardelli received a job offer from Ken Langone, who at the time was on the board of directors of both GE and The Home Depot.
### The Home Depot {#the_home_depot}
Nardelli became CEO of The Home Depot in December 2000 despite having no retail experience. Using the Six Sigma management strategy used at GE, he dramatically overhauled the company and replaced its entrepreneurial culture of innovative product design with one focused on relentless cost-cutting. He changed the decentralized management structure by eliminating and consolidating division executives. He also installed processes and streamlined operations, most notably implementing a computerized automated inventory system and centralizing supply orders at the headquarters.
Nardelli was credited with doubling the sales of the chain and improving its competitive position. Revenue increased from \$45.74 billion in 2000 to \$81.51 billion in 2005, while net earnings after tax rose from \$2.58 billion to \$5.84 billion. During Nardelli\'s tenure, The Home Depot stock was essentially steady while competitor Lowe\'s stock doubled, which along with his \$240 million compensation eventually earned the ire of investors. His blunt, critical and autocratic management style turned off employees and the public. Nardelli was notably criticized for cutting back on knowledgeable full-time employees with experience in the trades and replacing them with part-time help with little relevant experience. This move reduced costs, but hurt customer service at a time when Lowe\'s was making inroads nationwide. While the board of directors strongly stood by him for most of his tenure, questions about his leadership mounted in 2006, and in an ominous portent of the near future, he was the only director present at the annual meeting. At that meeting, he only allowed shareholders to speak for one minute each. Nardelli and the board reached a mutual agreement for Nardelli to resign on January 3, 2007; his severance package was estimated at \$210 million. He was succeeded by The Home Depot vice chairman and executive vice president, Frank Blake. Blake had served as Nardelli\'s deputy at both GE Power Systems and Home Depot.
During his tenure at The Home Depot, Nardelli met President George W. Bush at the White House in 2002 and was appointed to Bush\'s Council on Service and Civic Participation (although he is no longer a member). Nardelli also hosted a garden reception/fundraiser for Bush at his Atlanta home on May 20, 2004.
### Coca-Cola {#coca_cola}
While CEO of Home Depot, Nardelli served a single term on the board of directors of Coca-Cola from 2002 to 2005.

# Bob Nardelli
## Career
### Chrysler
On August 5, 2007, he became chairman and CEO of Chrysler, which had recently been taken private by private equity firm, Cerberus Capital Management. His annual salary at Chrysler was \$1, with other compensation not publicly disclosed. (It\'s rumored that the terms were that he wouldn\'t be paid unless Chrysler succeeded. If they did succeed, he would be paid a salary along the lines of \$30 million.)
On February 17, 2008, before his first Daytona 500 race as Chrysler CEO, Nardelli guaranteed that Dodge would win the race for the first time since 2002, and that he would award a \$1 million bonus to the Dodge team that did it. Ryan Newman, the driver of the No. 12 Alltel Dodge, fulfilled this promise, and his car owner Roger Penske collected the \$1 million bounty.
On December 4, 2008, in an appearance on CNN\'s *The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer*, Nardelli was asked, \"So what do you say about the argument that the Japanese, the Germans, Koreans make better cars than the Americans?\" He responded, \"We spent about half a billion dollars in the first several months. Our warranty costs are down 29%. It\'s an interesting comparison because in the hearing today, going around the panel, the majority of the Senators said that citing specific vehicles that they own that they\'ve got 60-, 70-, 80,000 miles. The comment was you guys are making them too good and therefore, we\'re not buying vehicles and we\'re contributing to your problem. That was from the Senators on the committee today.\"
On March 17, 2009, Nardelli said that Chrysler Financial would require a second round of loans. On April 21, 2009, it was alleged by an unnamed \"federal watchdog agency\" that a \$750 million loan from the government was turned down, on the grounds that it would have required that executive compensation be capped. According to contemporary media coverage \"as part of the economic stimulus package, Congress approved compensation limits, and the Treasury is working on clarifying what the firms must do to comply with the rules. In other words, the executives were asked to sign the waivers without knowing what specific limits the Treasury might set.\" On April 30, 2009, Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The same day, Nardelli announced that he would leave the company as soon as the bankruptcy was over and his replacement was announced---later determined to be Sergio Marchionne---who would likely face a pay cap.

# The Next Race: The Remote Viewings
***The Next Race: The Remote Viewings***, also called ***The Chronicles of Hollow Earth: The Next Race***, is a 2007 independent science fiction film written, directed, edited and produced by Stewart St. John. It is the first chapter in the \"Creation Wars\" saga, followed by *Dark Metropolis* (2010). Two more sequels are planned.
## Synopsis
The film is set in an unspecified time in the future version of earth when the descendants of a genetically enhanced race created by mankind have control of the planet. Known as the \"ghen\" - a derivative of the word \"generic\" which humans labeled them as---the genetically superior race rule from their underground utopia, Hollow Earth. Baron Crecilius Pryme, a charismatic political from Ume City, sets out to convince his fellow ghen that what remains of the human race must be eradicated because he believes they are forming a crusade to attack the ghen. Crecilius shrewdly moves his brother, Aiden Pryme, into his deadly group of private soldiers known as \"The Ministers\", who hunt and abuse humans above ground.
Meanwhile, a human woman known as \"The Channeler\", is communicating with the \"Kalendoah\", a group of non-physical beings of infinite intelligence who promise there is hope and a coming savior.
Below ground, Crecilius has heard rumblings of a woman offering hope to mankind, and who has the ability to cure the sick and revive the dead, and sends his Ministers to find her. But Crecilius finds he has even more to worry about when his mother, Hannalin Pryme, takes a stand against his genocide of the human race, and reveals a long-buried secret that will forever change the destinies of the Pryme family.
## Official release {#official_release}
In 2006, St. John took his \$20 million version of *The Next Race* and wrote this prequel story which he shot on a shoe-string budget, setting the stage for the bigger budgeted features to follow. St. John edited the film himself, including the movie trailer. In February 2007, St. John was invited by the \"New York Comic Con\" to premiere the trailer, which received applause and interest from the assembled crowd.

# Siuntio railway station
**Siuntio railway station** (*Siuntion rautatieasema*, *Sjundeå järnvägsstation*) is a railway station in the municipality of Siuntio, Finland, between the stations of Kirkkonummi and Ingå.
## History
The Sjundeå station was opened for traffic on 1 September 1903, and its station building, designed by Bruno Granholm, was finished in the same year. The station had its Finnish name officialized in June 1925.
The station was on the area of the territory of the Soviet Porkkala Naval Base, established as a result of the Moscow Armistice in 1944. As Porkkala was returned to Finnish control in 1956, Siuntio was re-established first as a halt on 1 May 1956; it was upgraded to a staffed *laiturivaihde* --- a halt with a railyard with at least one switch --- just one month later after the renovation of the station building was completed.
## Services
Siuntio is served by line `{{ric|HSL|Y}}`{=mediawiki} on the Helsinki commuter rail network, for which it is one of the termini along with Helsinki. Some individual `{{Ric|HSL|U}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{Ric|HSL|L}}`{=mediawiki} trains also serve Siuntio. In addition, the `{{ric|VR commuter rail|H}}`{=mediawiki} train runs between Hanko and Helsinki three times a week. The station is part of HSL fare zone `{{HSL zone|D}}`{=mediawiki}. The station has 55 cm high platforms for accessible entry to low-floor trains, and park and ride services are provided on the south side of the railway in a car park on Ratapihantie, with capacity for approximately 50 cars and 10 bikes.
## Departure tracks {#departure_tracks}
Siuntio railway station has two platform tracks.
- Track 1 is only used by the `{{ric|VR commuter rail|H}}`{=mediawiki} train, both to Hanko and Helsinki.
- Track 2 is used by `{{ric|HSL|Y}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{Ric|HSL|L}}`{=mediawiki} trains to Helsinki

# Leonhard von Spengel
**Leonhard von Spengel** (24 September 1803, in Munich -- 8 November 1880, in Munich) was a German classical scholar.
## Biography
He attended the lyceum in his hometown, where as a pupil of Joseph Kopp and Johann von Gott Fröhlich, he was encouraged to study philology. After taking the examination for secondary school teachers in 1823, he furthered his studies in classical philology at the universities of Leipzig and Berlin, receiving his PhD at the University of Munich in 1827. He became known through his edition (1826) of Varro\'s *De Lingua Latina* and subsequently was appointed lector. As a university student his influences were Gottfried Hermann (Leipzig) and August Boeckh and Immanuel Bekker (Berlin). He turned down an offer of a professorship from the University of Kiel, and from 1830 taught classes as a gymnasium professor in Munich. From 1842 to 1847 he was professor at Heidelberg, and afterwards returned to Munich as a university professor.
In 1841 he became a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences.
## Published works {#published_works}
Among his publications were his edition of the *Ars Rhetorica ad Alexandrum*, which, following Petrus Victorius, he attributed to Anaximenes of Lampsacus (1844), his edition of the *Rhetoric* of Aristotle (1867), and his text edition of the *Rhetores Graeci* (three volumes, 1853--56). His address *Ueber das Studium der Rhetorik bei den Alten* (1842) is a valuable outline sketch of the art of eloquence in classical times

# Arrondissement of Brussels-Periphery
The **Arrondissement of Brussels-Periphery** (*Arrondissement Brussel-Randgemeenten*) was an administrative arrondissement in the Belgian Province of Brabant. It existed from 1963 to 1971 and comprised the six municipalities in the Brussels periphery (*Brusselse Rand*; *Périphérie bruxelloise*) with language facilities.
## History
The arrondissement was created in 1963, when the bilingual Arrondissement of Brussels was split up into three administrative arrondissements: the bilingual Arrondissement of Brussels-Capital, the unilingual Dutch-speaking Arrondissement of Halle-Vilvoorde and a peculiar arrondissement that officially didn\'t have a name, but was commonly referred to as Brussels-Periphery, and which comprised the six municipalities with language facilities around Brussels. It ceased to exist in 1971, when it was subsumed into Halle-Vilvoorde

# 6.5×68mm
The **6.5×68mm** rebated rim bottlenecked centerfire rifle cartridge (also known as the **6.5×68mm RWS**, **6.5×68mm Schüler**, or the **6.5×68mm Von Hofe Express**) and its sister cartridge the 8×68mm S were developed in the 1930s by August Schüler from the *August Schüler Waffenfabrik, Suhl, Germany* as magnum hunting cartridges that would just fit and function in standard-sized Mauser 98 bolt-action rifles. This is one of the early examples where a completely new rifle cartridge (the 6.5×68mm and 8×68mm S have no other cartridge as parent case) was developed by a gunsmith to fit a specific popular and widespread type of rifle.
## History
The German ammunition manufacturer `{{Interlanguage link|RWS (company)|lt=Rheinisch-Westfälischen Sprengstofffabrik (RWS)|de|RWS (Unternehmen)}}`{=mediawiki} introduced both cartridges commercially in the spring of 1939. With the official certification of the .375 Hölderlin and the 8.5×68mm Fanzoj this German 68 mm \"family\" of magnum rifle cartridges that all share the same basic cartridge case got expanded in the 21st century.
The cartridges in this German 68 mm cartridge \"family\" are, in the order of development:
- 8×68mm S (1939)
- 6.5×68mm (1939)
- .375 Hölderlin (9.5×68mm) (2007)
- 8.5×68mm Fanzoj (2012)
The M 98 bolt actions and magazine boxes of standard military Mauser 98 rifles have to be adapted by a competent gunsmith to function properly with these magnum cartridges since the cases are longer and have a larger diameter than the 8×57mm service cartridges. In properly adapted standard military Gewehr 98 or Karabiner 98k service rifles the large 6.5×68mm cartridges are, however, praised for very smooth and reliable feeding.
The widespread availability of standard size Mauser 98 rifles and the fact that the .375 H&H Magnum cartridge and its necked down version the .300 H&H Magnum with approximately 72.4 mm case length were too long to fit in standard sized Mauser 98 bolt-action rifles makes the shorter 6.5×68mm, 8×68mm S and .375 Hölderlin interesting chambering options.
World War II spoiled the commercial introduction and spread of the 6.5×68mm. The cartridge became popular after World War II due to its high performance and flat trajectory, when German hunters were allowed again to own and hunt with full bore rifles. The 6.5×68mm\'s performance also made it that hunters who had problems with handling magnum cartridge recoil stepped down to less powerful but adequate medium cartridges like the 6.5×57mm Mauser, 7.92×57mm Mauser, 7×64mm (Brenneke) or .30-06 Springfield (also known as the 7.62×63mm in metric countries). Recoil sensitive shooters can fit an efficient muzzle brake to significantly reduce the amount of recoil. With the help of a muzzle brake, the 6.5×68mm\'s recoil is reduced to tolerable levels.
## Cartridge dimensions {#cartridge_dimensions}
Extremely thick brass results in \'only\' 5.58 ml (86 grains) H~2~O cartridge case capacity for the 6.5×68mm. A rare feature of this German rimless bottlenecked centerfire cartridge design is that it has a slightly rebated rim (P1-R1 = 0.3 mm). A sign of the era in which the 6.5×68mm was developed are the gently sloped shoulders. The exterior shape of the case was designed to promote reliable case feeding and extraction in bolt-action rifles, under extreme conditions.
**6.5×68mm maximum C.I.P. cartridge dimensions.** All sizes in millimetres (mm).
Americans would define the shoulder angle at alpha/2 ≈ 14.53 degrees. The common rifling twist rate for this cartridge is 250 mm (1 in 9.84 in), 4 grooves, Ø lands = 6.45 mm, Ø grooves = 6.70 mm, land width = 3.50 mm and the primer type is large rifle magnum.
According to the official C.I.P. (Commission Internationale Permanente pour l\'Epreuve des Armes à Feu Portatives) guidelines the 6.5×68mm case can handle up to 440 MPa (63817 psi) piezo pressure. In C.I.P. regulated countries every rifle cartridge combo has to be proofed at 125% of this maximum C.I.P. pressure to certify for sale to consumers.
When the 6.5×68mm was introduced in 1939 it probably held the title of fastest production cartridge on the market. Nowadays there are commercial cartridges on the market which offer even higher muzzle velocities.
The American .264 Winchester Magnum cartridge introduced in 1959 and the French 6.5×63mm Messner Magnum are probably the closest ballistic twins of the 6.5×68mm.

## The 6.5×68mm in field use {#the_6.568mm_in_field_use}
German and Austrian hunters use the powerful, high velocity 6.5×68mm for long-range hunting in mountainous terrain like the Alps mountain range. The 6.5×68mm as a pure civil cartridge can be used in countries which ban civil use of former or current military ammunition.
Since there are not many factory loads available ([RWS](https://web.archive.org/web/20070317212838/http://www.rws-munition.de/en/rws_ruag/rws_ruag.htm) offers only 2 factory loads) and due to its good field reputation, the 6.5×68mm is often used by reloaders. They have used this cartridge extensively to create powerful loads by handloading.
Factory rifles in 6.5×68mm normally have 250 mm to 280 mm (1 in 9.8 to 11 inch) twist rates, which are too slow to adequately stabilize modern long heavy 6.5 mm bullets. This slow twist rate was chosen since the bullet jackets used in the 1930s were not strong enough to cope with the forces generated by the magnum muzzle velocities of the 6.5×68mm. The traditional 6.5×68mm twists nowadays inhibits its potential. To make the 6.5×68mm an awesome long-range cartridge, rifle barrels with a 200 mm to 230 mm (1 in 7.9 to 9 inch) twist rate are a better choice. Due to the large case capacity in relation to the 6.5 mm (.264 inch) caliber bore size the 6.5×68mm is very harsh on barrels. The 6.5×68mm typically wears out a rifle barrel in 500 to 1000 rounds. A lot of thorough barrel cleaning (after every 5 shots) and carefully avoiding long strings of shots help to minimize barrel wear. This makes this cartridge impractical for most competition shooters who tend to fire a lot of rounds in practice to acquire and maintain expert long-range marksmanship.
Reloaders use the 6.5×68mm as a Jack of all trades long-range cartridge on all European game from fox, roe deer and chamois upwards to the big European game like red deer and moose. These people realized that bullets with different characteristics can be utilized to produce varying effects on game. As with all 6.5 mm cartridges, the big game hunting bullets used in the 6.5×68mm have comparatively high sectional densities for good penetration on suitable size game animals.

## The 6.5×68mm as parent case {#the_6.568mm_as_parent_case}
Cartridges that are not officially registered with nor sanctioned by C.I.P. (Commission Internationale Permanente Pour L\'Epreuve Des Armes A Feu Portative) or its American equivalent, SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute) are generally known as wildcats. By blowing out standard factory cases the wildcatter generally hopes to gain extra muzzle velocity by increasing the case capacity of the factory parent cartridge case by a few percent. Practically there can be some muzzle velocity gained by this method, but the measured results between parent cartridges and their \'improved\' wildcat offspring is often marginal. Besides changing the shape and internal volume of the parent cartridge case, wildcatters also can change the original caliber. A reason to change the original caliber can be to comply with a minimal permitted caliber or bullet weight for the legal hunting of certain species of game.
Wildcats are not governed by C.I.P. or SAAMI rules so wildcatters can capitalize the achievable high operating pressures. It is often reported that modern 68 mm RWS brass can tolerate up to 500 MPa (72519 psi) piezo pressure. Because the 6.5×68mm offers an exceptional sturdy, pressure resistant cartridge case that can relatively easily be reloaded with primers, powder and bullets and hence be reused several times it has become quite popular amongst wildcatters. With the German 68 mm magnum cartridge case as parent case wildcatters have created .25×68, .270×68, 7×68mm, .30×68, .338×68, .375×68 or .416×68 variants

# David Vandervelde
**David Vandervelde** is an American indie pop songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He is known for his solo work and his studio collaborations with Wilco\'s Jay Bennett.
As of 2014, Vandervelde has been a member of Father John Misty\'s touring band. He appears on Misty\'s studio albums, *God\'s Favorite Customer* (2018) and *Mahashmashana* (2024), where he has a co-writing credit on the track, \"Being You\".
## Career
In 2003, Vandervelde moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan where he began recording local bands and friends in his basement studio. When Fonic Records heard the demo Vandervelde recorded for Brie Stoner, the label signed Stoner, pairing Vandervelde with ex-Wilco guitarist Jay Bennett to produce a debut at Bennett\'s Pieholden Studio in Chicago. After the album\'s release in 2004, Vandervelde began living at Piehoden, working with Bennett on solo work and other recording projects.
Living and working at Pieholden, Vandervelde began a writing and recording streak that would provide the bulk of the material on his debut solo record. During this period, Vandervelde also played on the Jay Bennett albums *Bigger than Blue* and *The Magnificent Defeat.* In 2007, Secretly Canadian Records released the first David Vandervelde solo album, *The Moonstation House Band*. Culled from the one-man band sessions at Bennett\'s studio, the album won praise for its winning melodies and dense arrangements. Vandervelde\'s sound drew comparisons to T. Rex.
Following its release, Vandervelde relocated to Brooklyn, New York. In 2008, he released his sophomore effort, *Waiting for the Sunrise*. In April 2008, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee.
Since 2015, he has been touring with Josh Tillman (\"Father John Misty\") on the *I Love You, Honeybear* the *Pure Comedy,* and *the God\'s Favorite Customer* tours as a guitarist, but also playing additional instruments on stage. In 2016, as part of the duo *Tess and Dave*, he opened for Father John Misty across many of the North American tour dates.
Over the course of 2015--2016, he also engineered and produced *Book of Changes* by Entrance (2017).
Vandervelde now resides in the Long Beach, California area when not on tour.

# Pedro Henríquez Ureña
**Pedro Henríquez Ureña** (June 29, 1884 -- May 11, 1946) was a Dominican essayist, philosopher, humanist, philologist and literary critic.
## Biography
### Early works {#early_works}
Pedro Henríquez Ureña was born in Santo Domingo, the third of four siblings. Henríquez\'s father was Francisco Henríquez y Carvajal, a doctor and politician who was also an intellectual who maintained permanent contact with the most important representatives of the Hispanic Modernism movements from the early 20th century. Henríquez Carvajal would become president of the Republic for a brief period in 1916, before the American occupation. He descended from Jews who immigrated in the 19th century from Curaçao. His mother was the eminent poet and feminist Salomé Ureña. Both played a key role in Pedro\'s formation and education. His brother, Max, and sister, Camila, were also writers.
The young Pedro traveled to Mexico in 1906, where he lived until 1913. About these times he wrote in *Horas de estudio*. In these years he also wrote about philosophical criticism, specially the seriousness of the thought. Here he made his criticism of *positivismo*, being one of the first in the Hispanic America, in his articles \"El positivismo de Comte\" and \"El positivismo independiente\".
In 1914, in Cuba, he defined what according to him a good critic must be: a flexible scholar who knows how to adopt any point of view. But mainly he must know the spirit of the time and the country he is studying. The critic will always be tributary of the values of the society to which he belongs and thus must fight against them. He obtains his flexibility, sometimes without proposing to it.
### Maturity
Between 1915 and 1916 Henríquez Ureña worked as a journalist in the United States, living in Washington and New York. In this last year he joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota where he taught until 1921. No doubt his travels influenced his work and his thinking. His humanism and Americanism`{{spaced ndash}}`{=mediawiki}that is, his firm defense of Hispanic-American cultural values`{{spaced ndash}}`{=mediawiki}made him write a final lecture for the Club of International Relations of the University of Minnesota about the \"intervencionist policy of the United States in all the Caribbean\", since his own nation had been invaded in 1916. In 1921 he traveled to Mexico where his *americanismo* would acquire a new vigor. Influenced by this atmosphere of enthusiasm towards the culture, he wrote his famous article \"The utopia of America\".
In 1923 he married Isabel Lombardo Toledano, sister of the famous union leader Vicente Lombardo Toledano. The two had a daughter, Natacha, the following year.
He went to La Plata in Argentina to continue with the study of literature to explain la *expresión americana*, to try to reach a language that would clarify the fundamental object of its investigation, the American continent. America is for Henríquez Ureña somewhat similar to a text that must be explained and nothing better for the interpretation of that text that the study of the totality of its language. The language is the system par excellence, since through it we registered and we organized our perceptions of the outer world. For that reason the differences of the American Spanish, not only took us to the knowledge to a phonetic study of the region but of the geographic area that each dialectal zone describes. Henríquez Ureña dedicated his research more directly towards linguistics when in 1930 he moved to Buenos Aires, to exert the position of Secretary in the Institute of Philology directed by Amado Alonso.
He was the first Spanish speaker invited to teach at the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures in 1940--1941. As results he wrote and published \"Literary Currents in Hispanic America\" in 1945.
For Henríquez Ureña, linguistics was a form to analyze in a scientific way the power of the American word, its wealth and its evolution through time. He sustained that language was one of the main instruments that would give rise to a social transformation in the America of the future.
He died in 1946, after suffering a heart attack during his daily commute from Buenos Aires to La Plata. He had been in the process of grading and correcting students\' work.

# Hiekkaharju railway station
**Hiekkaharju railway station** (*Hiekkaharjun rautatieasema*; *Sandkulla station*) is a Helsinki commuter rail station located in the district of Hiekkaharju in the city of Vantaa, Finland. It is located approximately 17 km from Helsinki Central railway station.
The Hiekkaharju station has acted as an in-between stop during the construction of the Kerava local railway track. The third track of the main railway was taken into use in 1972 between Helsinki and Hiekkaharju and was continued to Kerava in 1981. Likewise, the fourth track was completed in 1996 between Helsinki and Hiekkaharju and only continued to Kerava in 2004. When the local railway track was completed in 2004, the Hiekkaharju station was thoroughly renovated. Also the P train, running between Helsinki and Hiekkaharju, was discontinued and replaced with the I train, which only runs between Helsinki and Tikkurila.
## Connections
- I/P-line trains (Helsinki--Helsinki Airport--Helsinki)
- K-line trains (Helsinki--Kerava)
- T-line trains (Helsinki--Riihimäki), nighttime

# Ottorino Barassi
**Ottorino Barassi** (5 October 1898 -- 24 November 1971) was an Italian sports official. The first action of his career was to help organise the 1934 FIFA World Cup, which was played in his native Italy.
His notability in World Cup history continued, as Italy won the 1938 FIFA World Cup in France. Because the World Cup did not take place for another 12 years due to World War II, he famously had possession of the Jules Rimet trophy until the 1950 FIFA World Cup. He secretly took the trophy home from a bank in Rome, and kept it under his bed in a shoebox so that the Nazi troops in Italy would not find it.
During the WW2, he was made commissioner of the Italian Football Federation from 1944 to 1946, and in 1946 he was promoted to president of the federation; a position which he would hold until 1958.
Following his good work in the 1934 World Cup, he was also asked by FIFA to help Brazilian officials organise the 1950 FIFA World Cup. This was a task which he completed successfully; he ensured that the Estádio do Maracanã was ready in time for the tournament, and that the event ran smoothly.
He was appointed as a member of FIFA\'s executive committee from 1952 until his death in 1971. As a member of the executive committee, he helped found UEFA in the early 1950s. The Coppa Ottorino Barassi, a match held from 1968--1976 between the FA Amateur Cup and Coppa Italia Dilettanti champions, was named after him. In 2011, he was posthumously inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame

# Ann Curtis
**Ann Elizabeth Curtis** (March 6, 1926 -- June 26, 2012), known after 1949 by her married name **Ann Elisabeth Cuneo** was an American competition swimmer and two-time Olympic champion at the 1948 London games. She would later have a career as a swim coach opening the Ann Curtis Swim Club and School of Swimming in Tera Linda, California.
## Early education and swimming {#early_education_and_swimming}
Ann Elisabeth Curtis was born in San Francisco, California, and trained in her early years by nuns. She began swimming at the age of 9, while she and her sister spent two years at the Ursuline Convent boarding school in Santa Rosa. She later attended and graduated San Francisco\'s Washington High School. Recognized by a coach at San Francisco\'s Jewish Community Center, Ann and her sister Sue trained there initially, and then at the larger and modern Fairmont Hotel Pool.
Anne developed more quickly under the direction of Hall of Fame Coach Charlie Sava as a member of the San Francisco Crystal Plunge swimming club that featured a wide 50-yard pool in downtown San Francisco. Sava, aware of her potential, managed Curtis for eight years, introducing modern training techniques. Taking her under his wing when she was 14, Silva had Curtis train in the pool five hours split into morning and afternoon sessions. Silva\'s pool training included numerous sets with repeat intervals and occasional resistance training, usually out of the pool. She later described Sava as an effective and innovative coach, but a demanding task manager. Already referred to as \"The World\'s Greatest Woman Swimmer\", in 1944, at age 18, she became the first woman, as well as the first swimmer, to receive the coveted James E. Sullivan Award, recognizing her as the outstanding American amateur athlete of the year.
Curtis attended the University of California at Berkeley from 1944-1948, a strong swimming power, that then had no women's swim team. While at Berkeley in 1944 she set world freestyle records in 1944 at 800 meters and 880 yards. In 1947 she established freestyle world records at the 100 yard, 400 meter and 440 yard events. During her Berkeley years, she travelled each day by ferry to train with her Coach Charlie Sava at San Francisco Bay\'s Treasure Island, half way between Berkeley and San Francisco.

## 1948 Olympics
Considered that year\'s most successful woman swimmer, Curtis competed at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, England, winning a medal in every freestyle swimming race in which women were allowed to enter at the time. She won her first gold medal in the women\'s 400-meter freestyle, setting an Olympic record on the way to winning by a margin of nearly four seconds. In her next race, she received the silver medal for her second-place finish in the women\'s 100-meter freestyle, a disappointing finish for her. She would later say she felt like she \"had let down the world.\"
Her favorite moment of the Games came during the third event, when she won her second gold medal as a member of the women\'s 4×100-meter freestyle relay team. The United States was not favored to win, in part because she had placed second in the 100-meter individual event. When she took the water for the anchor leg in the relay, the United States team was in third place; she passed Johanna \"Hannie\" Termeulen of Holland and then Fritze Carstensen of Denmark to win the gold medal for the US by four-tenths of a second, setting another Olympic record in the process. When she returned to San Francisco, she was honored in a parade along Montgomery and Market Street.
During her career she set five world and 56 U.S. records, and earned 30 National Championship titles. By the time she swam at the 1948 London Games, Curtis was engaged to be married to Gordon Cuneo, a former basketball player for Cal; they were married in 1949, and she chose not to train for the 1952 Games, also in part because she had accepted a car from the City of San Francisco upon her return from London, which made her a professional swimmer. The couple would have five children.
## Post Olympic careers {#post_olympic_careers}
Curtis swam professionally from 1948-1951 after retiring from competition. She began touring with the Nick Kahler Famous Sports and Boat Show where she demonstrated competitive strokes and raced with 1936 backstroke Olympic gold medalist Adolph Kiefer, who worked organizing talent for the show. She would please the crowd swimming with a seal, who always outswam her and Kiefer. She then toured with Sheehan\'s Aqua Follies, featuring music, and elaborate costumes, and would later make a commercial for Woodbury Soap. She ceased working after 1951, with the birth of her first child.
## Coaching
In 1959, after retiring from competition and starting her family, she opened the Ann Curtis Swim Club and School of Swimming in Tera Linda with her husband. The couple took out a loan, bought the land, and built the facility that featured a 75-foot competition pool and a smaller pool of 50 feet. Once under way, the Cuneo\'s bought additional land to build an adjacent home. In 1983, the club had ten teachers, 950 students, and its own swim club that had 100 families. A successful venture, the swim club mentored several future champions and operated over twenty years. One of her outstanding swimmers was 1972 Munich Olympian and future Coach Rick Demont who swam with Curtis in his early years.
She was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1966, and the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame in 1983.
Curtis died at her home in San Rafael, California on June 26, 2012, aged 86.

# Eastman Theatre
**Kodak Hall at** **Eastman Theatre** is the largest performance venue at the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester, located in downtown Rochester, New York, United States.
The theatre was established by industrialist George Eastman and opened on September 4, 1922, as a center for music, dance, and silent film, with orchestral and organ accompaniment.
The theatre is the primary hall for the Eastman School\'s larger ensembles, including its orchestras, wind ensembles, jazz ensembles, and chorale. It originally contained 3,352 seats, but was substantially revised in 2009 to become a 2,260-seat concert hall with state-of-the-art acoustics optimized for symphonic, popular and chamber music performances.
The theatre is the principal performance venue for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Eastman Opera Theatre presents fully staged operatic productions each spring.
A \$5 million renovation of the theater building was completed in October 2004. Eastman Kodak Company, founded by George Eastman, donated \$10 million for a subsequent renovation that was completed in October 2009; the building\'s concert hall was named \"Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre\", in recognition of the donation.
Maxfield Parrish\'s painting \"Interlude\" originally hung in the Eastman Theatre. The original was moved to the Memorial Art Gallery in 1997 to stabilize its temperature and humidity, and a full-size color reproduction hung in its place

# Matteo Civitali
**Matteo Civitali** (1436--1501) was an Italian Renaissance sculptor and architect, painter and engineer from Lucca. He was a leading artistic personality of the Early Renaissance in Lucca, where he was born and where most of his work remains.
## Biography
He was trained in Florence, where Antonio Rossellino and Mino da Fiesole influenced his mature style. He is known to have sculpted statues of Adam, Eve, Abraham, Saints Zacchariah and Elizabeth, and others for the chapel of San Giovanni Battista in Genoa Cathedral. He is mentioned with the name of *Matteo Civitali* by Vasari in his biography of Jacopo della Quercia, and appears to have taken up the art of sculpture at the age of 40 years, after years of practicing as a \"barber\" (surgeon). While considered to be the most important marble sculptor outside Florence during the second half of the fifteenth century, historical evidence pointed to Civitali\'s activity as a painter as well. However, no painting could firmly be identified to him until the discovery of an original contract by Roberto Ciardi in 1997 for a triptych for the Church of San Michele di Antraccoli, which was formerly ascribed to the Master of Benabbio. The contract revealed that both Civitali and Baldassare di Biagio were commissioned to complete the altarpiece.
Civitali\'s freestanding chapel, the *\"tempietto\"*, built in 1484 to enshrine the Holy Face of Lucca, stands in the left nave of the Cathedral of San Martino, Lucca. The Duomo contains also a virtual anthology of Matteo\'s sculpture, since he worked at the San Romano Altar, and also sculpted the statue of St Sebastian in the back of the Holy Face Shrine, and two monumental graves in the right transept.
The relief of Faith (now in the National Museum of Florence, Italy) was originally the first segment part of Hope and Love, a triple relief. This marble figure of Faith was acquired by the Uffizi Gallery in 1830 from the prior of a church at Paterno near Florence. This piece of work existed in the church of San Michele in Foro, Lucca.
Matteo Civitali died on 12 October 1501. His son Nicolao Civitali as a sculptor and architect in Lucca

# Prelude Records
**Prelude Records** was a New York--based independent record label that was active from 1976 to 1986. At one time, François Kevorkian held an A&R position at Prelude. The label\'s owner was Marvin Schlachter, and his business partner was Stan Hoffman, who had worked with him at Janus Records, and later Pye/ATV. Hoffman eventually became a noted boxing promotor.
## History
Prelude was first launched in 1977, renamed from Pye International Records, a US division of UK-based Pye Records which had begun in 1974. The name was derived from the music group Prelude, which recorded for Pye at the time. At the outset, Prelude\'s LP and 45 catalogue numbers were the same as had begun under Pye (US), with the prefix changed from PYE- to PRL-. For a very short period at the start, Pye\'s then-parent, ATV Music, owned Prelude.It first made its small release with a large name called JUMBO, which spawned a minor hit with \"Turn On To Love\".
As disco music declined, Prelude was one of the few disco labels to survive its demise. In 1981 they pioneered the mastermix. with Shep Pettibone\'s \"Kiss Mastermix 2x12\". Having recruited Kevorkian, the label was able to focus on remixes; to change up an existing song by altering it slightly. \"Disco Circus\" by Martin Circus (1979) was and still is a cult classic, but failed to make significant sales according to Michael Gomes who began working for Prelude in 1979.
Prelude\'s biggest hits included \"In the Bush\" by Musique (1978), \"Come to Me\" by France Joli (1979), \"A Little Bit of Jazz\" by the Nick Straker Band and \"Must Be the Music\" by Secret Weapon (1981).
After its closure in 1986, Prelude\'s back catalogue was purchased by Unidisc.

# Leibniz's gap
In the philosophy of mind, **Leibniz\'s gap** is the problem that thoughts cannot be observed or perceived solely by examining brain properties, events, and processes. Here the word \"gap\" is a metaphor of a subquestion regarding the mind--body problem that allegedly must be answered in order to reach a more profound understanding of qualia, consciousness and emergence. A theory that could correlate brain phenomena with psychological phenomena would \"bridge the gap\".
The term Leibniz\'s gap was coined by Robert Cummins and was named after Gottfried Leibniz, who first presented the problem in his work *The Monadology* in 1714. Leibniz\'s passage describing the gap goes as follows: `{{cquote|It must be confessed, moreover, that perception, and that which depends on it, are inexplicable by mechanical causes, that is, by figures and motions, And, supposing that there were a mechanism so constructed as to think, feel and have perception, we might enter it as into a mill. And this granted, we should only find on visiting it, pieces which push one against another, but never anything by which to explain a perception. This must be sought, therefore, in the simple substance, and not in the composite or in the machine.
| author = Gottfried Leibniz
| source = ''Monadology, sect. 17''
}}`{=mediawiki}
The problem is that there is a gap between concepts of modern neuroscience, and those that we use to describe the mind, such as \"thought\", \"feeling\", and \"perception\". This means that the physical observation of the brain yields data, substantially, with the format of electric potentials, even if we are convinced that the mind is the brain. Leibniz himself sought to bridge the gap by introducing monads to explain the existence of immaterial, eternal souls. Leibniz\'s gap, however, applies to materialism and dualism alike. This brought late 19th century scientists to conclude that psychology must build on introspection; thus introspectionism was born. Computationalism seeks to answer the problem proposed by Leibniz\'s gap through functional analysis of the brain and its processes. There is the position that functionalism could address the gap since it allows something to be described in terms of what it does without explaining how it does it or identifying the physical form it takes. Today, however, Leibniz\'s gap is still in wide use in scientific debate as the mind-body problem that remains unsolved

# Pre-credit
In film production, the **pre-credit** is the section of the film which is shown before the opening or closing credits are shown.
Many films will by common convention have a short scene before the credits to introduce characters who may, or may not, become crucial to the film\'s plot. This sequence is normally an expositional scene with either an obvious important plot point or an event which is seemingly minor but whose significance will later in the film become apparent.
A characteristic of pre-credit scenes in the horror genre is a character (seemingly a main character) who is killed quickly, as a heralding \"warning kill\" of the antagonist. For example, *Scream*, *Cube* or many of the *Saw* sequels.
The James Bond franchise has become well known for elaborate high-concept pre-credit sequences, sometimes over ten minutes in length.
Television series often have a pre-credit sequence, especially ones from the mid-1960s onward. (Such series as *Captain Kangaroo*, *The Dick Van Dyke Show*, *The Andy Griffith Show*, the first incarnation of *The Twilight Zone*, *I Love Lucy*, and the Disney anthology television series did not.) One series famous for its pre-credits is *Law & Order*. Their famous sound effect will close the pre-credit after each episode\'s victim is discovered

# Maltose-binding protein
**Maltose-binding protein** (**MBP**) is a part of the maltose/maltodextrin system of *Escherichia coli*, which is responsible for the uptake and efficient catabolism of maltodextrins. It is a complex regulatory and transport system involving many proteins and protein complexes. MBP has an approximate molecular mass of 42.5 kilodaltons.
## Structure and folding {#structure_and_folding}
MBP is encoded by the *malE* gene of *Escherichia coli*. The *malE* gene codes for a precursor polypeptide (396 amino acid residues) which yields the mature MBP (370 residues) upon cleavage of the NH~2~-terminal extension (26 residues). The precursor and mature forms of MBP do not contain any cysteine residues.
MBP is a monomeric protein. Crystal structures have shown that MBP is divided into two distinct globular domains that are connected by three short polypeptide segments. The two domains are separated by a deep groove that contains the maltose/maltodextrin binding site. Comparison of the structures of the liganded and unliganded forms of MBP has shown that the binding of maltose induces a major conformational change that closes the groove by a rigid motion of the two domains around the linking polypeptide hinge.
Both precursor and mature forms of MBP are functional for the binding of maltose. The NH~2~-terminal extension decreases the folding rate of the precursor form of MBP relative to its mature form by at least 5 fold, but it has no effect on the unfolding rate. The equilibrium unfolding of MBP can be modelled by a two-state mechanism with a stability ∆G(H~2~O) equal to 9.45 kcal mol^−1^ at 25 °C, pH 7.6.
## Localization and export {#localization_and_export}
MBP is exported into the periplasmic space of *E. coli*. The NH~2~-terminal extension of MBP, also termed signal peptide, has two roles: (i) it slows down folding of the newly synthesized polypeptide, and (ii) it directs this polypeptide to the membrane and SecYEG translocon. Once folded, the precursor can no longer enter the translocation pathway. The introduction of a charged amino-acid residue or a proline residue within the hydrophobic core of the signal peptide is sufficient to block export. The defective exports of the mutant MBPs are consistent with the alpha-helical conformation and hydrophobic interactions of the signal peptide in its interaction with the translocon motor protein SecA.
## Control of expression {#control_of_expression}
The *malE* gene, coding for MBP, belongs to the Mal regulon of *E. coli*, which consists of ten genes whose products are geared for the efficient uptake and utilization of maltose and maltodextrins. All the gene involved in the transport of maltose/maltodextrin, including *malE*, are clustered in the *malB* region of *E. coli* and organized in two divergent operons: *malE-malF-malG* and *malK-lamB*. The transcription start sites at the *malEp* and *malKp* promoters are distant of 271 base pairs.
The *malEp* and *malKp* promoters are synergistically activated by protein MalT, the activator of the Mal regulon and by the cAMP receptor protein CRP. This activation is a coupled process that involves, going from *malEp* towards *malKp*: two MalT binding sites; three CRP binding sites, and two overlapping sets of three MalT binding sites, staggered by three base pairs. Transcription activation requires the binding of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and maltotriose to MalT and the binding of cyclic AMP to the dimer of CRP. The unliganded form of MalT is monomeric whereas its liganded form, in the presence of ATP and maltotriose, is oligomeric.

## Use as a protein and peptide vector`{{Anchor|MBP-tag}}`{=mediawiki} {#use_as_a_protein_and_peptide_vector}
MBP is used to increase the solubility of recombinant proteins expressed in *E. coli*. In these systems, the protein of interest is often expressed as a MBP-fusion protein, preventing aggregation of the protein of interest. The mechanism by which MBP increases solubility is not well understood. In addition, MBP can itself be used as an affinity tag for purification of recombinant proteins. The fusion protein binds to amylose columns while all other proteins flow through. The MBP-protein fusion can be purified by eluting the column with maltose. Once the fusion protein is obtained in purified form, the protein of interest is often cleaved from MBP with a specific protease and can then be separated from MBP by affinity chromatography.
A first study of the relations between structure and functions of MBP was performed by random insertion of a short DNA fragment, coding for a BamHI restriction site, into the *malE* gene. Some of the insertions affected the functions of MBP whereas others were permissive. The permissive sites that were internal to MBP, were used to insert antigenic peptides and challenge the immune response in mice. The 3\'-OH terminal insertions were used to create fusion proteins and develop the use of MBP as an affinity handle for the purification of foreign proteins and peptides by affinity chromatography on cross-linked amylose and elution with maltose in mild physico-chemical conditions. Several plasmid vectors were developed to facilitate the expression and purification of such fusion proteins.
When the recombinant MBP includes a signal peptide, the fusion protein can be exported into the periplasmic space, which facilitates its purification since the periplasmic fluid contains only a limited number of proteins and can be recovered either by an osmotic shock or by permeabilization of the bacterial outer membrane with antibiotics such as Polymyxin B. Such an export of the fusion protein into the periplasmic space enables the formation of disulfide bonds in the passenger protein, for example antibody fragments. Foreign proteins that are exported or secreted in their native organism, can usually be exported into the *E. coli* periplasm by fusion with MBP. Examples of cytoplasmic proteins that could be exported by fusion with MBP, include the monomeric Klenow polymerase and the dimeric Gene V protein of phage M13. When the recombinant MBP includes either a defective or no signal peptide the fusion protein remains within the bacterial cytoplasm from where it can be recovered by breaking open the cells.
The fusion of proteins with MBP usually enhances their solubility and facilitates their proper folding so that the fusion proteins are most often bifunctional. In addition, such fusions can facilitate the crystallisation of difficult proteins, e.g. membrane proteins. The crystallized protein can often have their structures solved by X-ray crystallography using molecular replacement on a known MBP structure

# John Stricker
Brigadier General **John Stricker** (1758--1825) was a Maryland state militia officer who fought in both the American Revolutionary War in the First Maryland Regiment of the famous \"Maryland Line\" of the Continental Army and in the War of 1812. He commanded the Third Brigade (also known as the \"City Brigade\" or the \"Baltimore Brigade\") of the Maryland state militia in the Battle of North Point on Monday, September 12, 1814, (later known as \"Defenders\' Day, a state, county and city holiday) which formed a part of the larger Battle of Baltimore, along with the subsequent British naval bombardment of Fort McHenry on September 13-14th, and was a turning point in the later months of the War of 1812 and to the peace negotiators across the Atlantic Ocean for the Treaty of Ghent, in the city of Ghent then in the Austrian Netherlands, (now of future Belgium), which finally arrived at a peace treaty on Christmas Eve of December 1814, of which news finally reached America in February 1815.
## Early life and Revolutionary War {#early_life_and_revolutionary_war}
Stricker was born on February 15, 1759, in Frederick, Province of Maryland. He was the son of Colonel George Stricker, who served during the Revolutionary War. The younger Stricker served as a cadet under his father\'s command, in the 1st Maryland Regiment, commanded by Gen. William Smallwood. He was present at the Battles of Princeton (January 3, 1777) in New Jersey, Brandywine (September 11, 1777), in Pennsylvania, and Monmouth (June 28, 1778), (also New Jersey - last battle of the Revolutionary War in the Northern Theatre).
He later became a banker and financier in the quickly growing third largest city then in America, beside joining and becoming a state militia officer.

## Battle of North Point {#battle_of_north_point}
On September 12, 1814, a British force of around 9,000 men was landed at North Point in southeastern Baltimore County in Maryland, west of the Chesapeake Bay aiming to march upon and capture the city of Baltimore and its maritime port of Fells Point. Stricker, as Brigadier General and commander of the Third Brigade (also known as the \"City Brigade\" or the \"Baltimore Brigade\") of the Maryland state militia, was ordered by Maj. Gen. Samuel Smith (commander of the Maryland and Baltimore militia and some U.S. Army regular units) to delay the British advance up the \"Patapsco Neck\" peninsula, in order to buy enough time to complete the building of defensive fortifications around the eastern side Baltimore on Loudenschlager\'s Hill and adjacent Potter\'s Hill (also later known as \"Hampstead Hill\", today\'s western slope of Patterson Park).
The Fifth Regiment of the Maryland state militia, of mostly Baltimore City troops, commanded by Lt. Col. Joseph Sterrett, having already been bloodied a month earlier at the infamous Battle of Bladensburg, on the northeast outskirts of Washington, D.C. in Bladensburg of Prince George\'s County, was now assigned the task of holding the right flank of the American armed forces, and withstood two hours of Congreve rocket fire and artillery before eventually being ordered to fall back to the newly constructed line of trenches to the east outside Baltimore on Hampstead Hill. The British Army, many of whom were veterans of the recently concluded Napoleonic Wars, were surprised by the strong resistance of these Maryland Militiamen, unlike their earlier experience at Bladensburg and, having taken around 300 casualties, they withdrew and stayed on the eastern flank of the battlefield near an old Methodist meeting house to tend to their wounded and recoup after the previous morning\'s sniper shooting of their commanding General Robert Ross, by American sharpshooters/snipers. Command was assumed by Col. Arthur Brooke of the 44th Regiment of Foot, as the American militia withdrew later that afternoon in good order back up the \"Patapsco Neck\" peninsula to the eastern outskirts of the city and the heavily-prepared Hampstead Hill fortifications.
The successful defense of Baltimore was an important boost to American morale and directly contributed to the end of the War of 1812 and reinforcing the hands of the American peace negotiators against the British diplomats at the Treaty of Ghent, in the neutral city of Ghent, in Flanders, then part of the Austrian Netherlands, (in future Belgium).
Today,`{{when|date=June 2022}}`{=mediawiki} the First and Second Battalions of the 175th Infantry, of the Maryland Army National Guard, carry on the tradition of the old traditional Fifth Maryland Regiment, long traditionally known as \"The Dandy Fifth\".
## Family life {#family_life}
Stricker married Martha Bedford (1763--1816), daughter of Gunning Bedford, of Philadelphia, in 1783. They had six daughters and a son:
- Mary (1784--1851)
- Catherine (1786--1860)
- Ann Eliza (1789--1843)
- Julianna (1797-?)
- Charlotte (1798--1826)
- Laura (1805--1877)
- John (1800--1837).
General Stricker is buried at Westminster Hall and Burying Ground, the old Western Burying Grounds of the First Presbyterian Church (later became the Westminster Presbyterian Church which surmounted the cemetery) at North Greene and West Fayette Streets in western downtown Baltimore

# Mikadroid
***Mikadoroid*** is a 1991 Japanese science fiction horror film co-produced by Toho, Tohokushinsha, and Tsuburaya Video, and directed by Tomoo Haraguchi. The film was released to Japanese home video on November 8, 1991.
## Synopsis
During World War II, the Japanese military established a secret underground laboratory in Tokyo. Three Olympic-level athletes were selected to undergo a process that would turn them into Jinra-go, superhuman armored soldiers. By March 1945, one of the soldiers had been completely transformed into the half-man/half-machine ultimate soldier called Mikadroid. But American B-29s firebomb the city and, while the two super soldiers manage to escape, Mikadroid and the lab are apparently destroyed. 45 years pass, Tokyo is rebuilt, and old secrets are forgotten. The site is now home to a complex that includes the Discoclub Layla. The disco\'s patrons dance late into the night, unaware that a faulty basement generator has reactivated Mikadroid and the cyborg now prowls the basement levels, killing anyone in its path

# Les Hunter (Hollyoaks)
**Les Hunter** is a fictional character from the British soap opera *Hollyoaks*, played by John Graham Davies. The character debuted on-screen during the episode broadcast on 26 April 2001. Les is characterised as stubborn, strong-minded and an alcoholic. Writers portrayed him as often compromised by his addiction to alcohol, which affects his job in the family mechanic business.
In his early stories, Les\' addiction leaves his eldest son, Dan Hunter (Andrew McNair) to run the business. He also neglects his daughter, Lisa Hunter (Gemma Atkinson) leaving Dan to fulfil the father figure role. His stories also explore his problematic marriage to Sally Hunter (Katherine Dow-Blyton). Their problems effect his son Lee Hunter (Alex Carter), who is often portrayed playing the role of peacemaker with his sparring parents. Davies was written out of *Hollyoaks* in 2005 and Les made his final appearance during the episode broadcast on 4 November 2005.
## Development
On the official *Hollyoaks* website, Les is described as \"stubborn and strong-minded, but cursed with a fondness for alcohol.\" Les\'s mother Lillian Hunter (Judith Barker) was introduced in early 2003. Producer Jo Hallows said Lillian represents every in-law people dread coming to stay, and called her \"a witch\". She also explained \"You start to see why Les turned out the way he did!\"
In his early stories, Les is portrayed becoming addicted to alcohol and leaving his son, Dan Hunter (Andrew McNair) to look after the family garage business, Hunter and Son. Les prefers to spend his time drinking alcohol and leave Dan working alone. Initially writers focused on the introduction of Les and his children Dan and Lisa Hunter (Gemma Atkinson). Writers portrayed Les as being distant from Lisa, leaving Dan to take on a \"father figure\" role. NcNair told McNair told Rachel Corcoran from *All About Soap* that Dan wants to support Lisa in Les\' absence. He added that Les cannot \"handle his responsibilities or face financial problems, so he turns to booze.\" McNair believed that the Hunter family could succeed if Les stopped drinking alcohol. Writers focused on the Hunter family moving their family business to Hollyoaks village. The move becomes a \"complete disaster\", and McNair assessed that the Hunter family \"have a lot of bad luck, which they bring on themselves.\"
Les has \"weathered a rocky marriage\" to Sally Hunter (Katherine Dow-Blyton) but the pair manage to reconcile. Les\' eldest daughter, Ellie Mills (Sarah Baxendale) went missing in Ibiza for two years but later returns home. The ordeal left Les relying on alcohol to seek comfort from her disappearance. Writers continued to develop Les\' alcoholism storyline in 2002. When Les\' son, Dan gets involved in an illegal MOT racket, he loses the license for the family garage business. This worsens Les\' drinking habits and effects his marriage. Les gets drunk and physically assaults Sally. She pretends the incident was her own fault and forgives Les until he gets drunk and hits her again. She decides to throw Les out of the family home.
Les also has a problematic relationship with his son Lee Hunter (Alex Carter). When Lee fails his exams he decides to train as a beautician at college. Les is disapproving of Lee choosing a career he believes to be feminine. Carter told reporters from *All About Soap* that \"I think Mr Hunter is worried as well. He wants his son to do something a bit more manly!\" Writers portrayed Les as a supportive figure during his daughter during the *Hollyoaks* serial killer storyline. Ellie is arrested and put on trial for concealing her husband, Toby Mills\' (Henry Luxemburg) murder spree. Ellie had let her brother, Dan be accused and arrested for the murders. The remainder of the Hunter family do not support Ellie at her trial. Les decides to attend to help Ellie, but she pleads guilty. Writers portrayed Les as \"struggling\" to cope with Ellie\'s admission of guilt. Baxendale believed that Les struggled more than Ellie at the trial. She told Kate Woodward from *Inside Soap* that Ellie \"takes whatever is thrown at her. She panics beforehand but I think her dad gets more upset than she does.\"
In 2004, writers revisited Les and Sally\'s tumultuous marriage. This has a negative effect on their son, Lee, who struggles with the prospect of a broken family. Carter told an *Inside Soap* reporter that Lee decides to intervene in his parents\' marriage. He explained that \"seeing his parents split is the last straw\" and he convinces Les to make an emotional speech to Sally to prevent a divorce. Carter added that in typical Les style, he messes up and annoys Sally further. Carter assessed that it was actually \"the final nail in the coffin\" for them. Les attempts to convince Sally to stay with him, but this results in hysterical laughter. Carter explained that Les realises he needs to act to save his marriage and dresses in his old leather biking outfit to woo Sally. This results in Sally berating Les for believing an old outfit could save a broken marriage. Carter concluded that \"I think he\'ll just have to accept things will never be the same again.\"
After six months, Les decides to take a job in Norwich and asks Sally to join him despite them still being estranged. Sally struggles with Les\' proposition so Lee and his friend Bombhead (Lee Otway) decide to intervene. Carter told an *Inside Soap* reporter that Lee is \"devastated\" his parents marriage could be over permanently. Carter explained that Lee does not want Les to leave, but accepts that if he reunites with Sally it will \"soften the blow\" for the Hunter family. Lee and Bombhead set Les and Sally up on a date and they realise they have been tricked. Carter added that \"after a while they have fun, which hasn\'t happened for ages. It reminds them of the old days and gets Sally thinking about her feelings.\" Les and Sally begin to reconcile and Lee is \"delighted\" when he catches Les leaving Sally\'s bedroom and his plan has worked. Les is asked to start his new job immediately and he asks Sally to join him. She agrees and hands in her resignation at the school. Bombhead realises Sally is unsure about the move and she reveals that she is \"torn\" about what to do.
Les\' departure was part of what the *Sunday Mirror* described as the \"biggest massacre in soap history\". His exit coincided with the exits of the majority of the Hunter family: Lisa, Lee and Sally. His departure storyline featured Les and Sally moving to Cyprus, following the death of their son, Dan. Just before they plan to leave, Sally declares she cannot leave because she has a phobia of aeroplanes. Lee tries to hypnotise Sally and cure her, but his attempts fail. Les purchases a motorbike complete with a sidecar and convinces Sally to go ahead with their move. Sally takes the driver\'s seat and Les gets into the side car as they leave the village for good. The character made his final appearance on 4 November 2005.

# Les Hunter (Hollyoaks)
## Storylines
Les arrives in the village as the moody husband of Sally and father of Ellie, Dan, Lee and Lisa. He was strict on his youngest daughter Lisa and had owned the garage \"Hunter and Sons\", with his son Dan. Shortly, Sally arrives, and Les and Sally went through a rough patch when daughter Ellie had gone missing. Les became depressed about his family problems and he would drown his sorrows with alcohol. Soon, though daughter Ellie arrived after two years, but things got bad to worse. Les was angered by the attitude Ellie had after her arrival, and Les was frustrated when he discovered that Lisa harms herself. With all these family problems going on, Les was even more shocked when his business was not doing too well, and son Dan ended up getting himself involved with Dodgy motors. Les was furious with Dan, and the police got involved, which resulted to the garage being closed down. Les turned to alcohol again, and argued with Sally further, but the situation became worse when he raised his hand towards her. Following the incident, Les was thrown out, and finally decided to get his act together. Les began to give up his drink, and soon got a new job as a lorry driver, a business venture he started with newcomer Johnno Dean (Mark Powley), who he soon became close friends with. Les moved back in with his family, however more trouble arrived when Dan was arrested for murder. The scenario of Dan being arrested was to be one whole nightmare for Les and his family as later he would discover.
Les\' son-in-law Toby was pushed off a building by Dan, while Ellie also fell off as she was struggling to fight for her life. Toby had died and Dan was in shock as he heard Ellie fighting with Toby, as Ellie confessed to him that her husband was a serial killer. However, it all got too much for Les as Dan was arrested for the serial killing murders and Ellie sent him down after she testified against him in court. With both Sally and Lisa arguing against Ellie, again Les turned to his alcohol addiction. To make matters worse still, Les and Johnno\'s workplace collapsed at this time, leaving both parties unemployed and in massive debt, and this pushed Les even closer to the edge. But eventually things began to get better when Ellie realised Dan\'s innocence and retracted her testimony. Dan was released, but it was short-lived, as he died in his rally race. Les comfort his family as they how to cope yet with another tragedy. Les realised with all this terrible times for him and his family, he had to support them as he managed to avoid alcohol. Slowly, the Hunter family began to rebuild their lives, but youngest daughter Lisa had an affair with an older man, none other than Jake Dean (Kevin Sacre), the son of Les\' former business partner Johnno, who by that time had left Hollyoaks; but after a rash reaction, eventually Les realised that he had to try a new approach in order to get the best from his children. With many bad memories in Hollyoaks, Les decided a move away would be good along with wife Sally as a fresh start is what the pair need. Therefore, Les said farewell along with wife Sally on a motorbike as they had sold up to live in Cyprus.
