# Lifetouch ## Company history {#company_history} ### 2000s--present **Flash Digital Portraits** became a branded retail concept in 2000, but was eventually discontinued. In 2006, Lifetouch purchased the photography business of Jostens, and in 2011, the photography division of Herff Jones. In December 2010, the Smithsonian\'s National Museum of American History received a donation of historic materials from Lifetouch as part of its effort to record the history of photography. The donation included two cameras, a Micro-Z and a TruView, patent drawings and interview with the inventors that complement the museum\'s collection of some 15,000 pieces of photographic apparatus and more than 200,000 photographs. A Micro-Z and TruView camera were also placed in the collection of the International Museum of Photography in Rochester, New York, and in the collection of the Minnesota History Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota. On November 9, 2011, Lifetouch Inc. announced that it had purchased the remaining assets of Olan Mills Photography, which included both its church directory and retail studio businesses. In 2013, Lifetouch purchased many of the assets of shuttered competitor CPI Corp., who had operated retail portrait studios in Sears and Walmart stores. These assets included the brand PictureME, which has been relaunched as a chroma key-based background replacement family photography concept in some of its retail locations. In 2012, Lifetouch patented a new school portrait camera technology called \"X1,\" which used a custom mirrorless camera and rapid lighting strobes to allow digital replacement of portrait backgrounds without using colored chroma key backgrounds. On January 28, 2017, Lifetouch closed all of the portrait studios that were present in select Target stores. The company was acquired by Shutterfly in 2018 in an all-cash deal valued at \$825 million. ## Philanthropic partnerships {#philanthropic_partnerships} The **Lifetouch Memory Mission** is an annual volunteer trip that provides humanitarian aid to underprivileged communities around the world. Its first venture in 2000 was to war-ravaged Kosovo. Missions have since traveled to Appalachia, Jamaica, land of the Navajo, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and have assisted with Hurricane Katrina, floods in the Dakotas, fires in California, and tornadoes across the Midwest. Lifetouch and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) announced in 2004 a joint national effort to enhance child safety through the Lifetouch SmileSafe Kids program. Photo identification cards are produced free of charge for every school student Lifetouch photographs. Lifetouch maintains a 24/7 response team to provide images of missing children to NCMEC within minutes. To date, the card has been credited with the safe return of children in 23 states. Additional Lifetouch partners include the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, American Association of School Administrators, National Association of Elementary School Principals, National Association of Secondary School Principals, and National PTA

# Alfa Romeo 177 The **Alfa Romeo 177** was a Formula One car used by the Alfa Romeo team during the 1979 Formula One season, debuting at the 1979 Belgian Grand Prix. The 177 marked Alfa Romeo\'s return to Formula One, 28 years after winning the World Drivers\' Championship titles in 1950 and 1951. ## Design and development {#design_and_development} The car was constructed by Alfa Romeo\'s racing department Autodelta, and featured a Carlo Chiti designed Alfa Romeo flat-12 engine which had been used earlier in the Alfa Romeo 33TT12 and 33SC12 sports cars. In `{{F1|1976}}`{=mediawiki} this engine was supplied to Brabham and the deal continued until `{{F1|1979}}`{=mediawiki}. The 177, the designation of which was derived from the fact that its design was commenced in 1977, was a bulky car finished in the handsome dark red colour adopted by Autodelta. The 177 featured a riveted aluminium chassis, with front suspension by upper rocking arms, lower wishbones and inboard-mounted coil spring/damper units. The rear suspension featured parallel lower links, single top links, twin radius rods and outboard coil spring/damper units. Bruno Giacomelli had won the 1978 European Formula Two Championship in a March and was hired to drive the new Alfa Romeo 177; he used this car at Belgian and French Grands Prix. The Alfa Romeo 179 with a new V12 engine was ready for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza so Giacomelli drove the new car while the 177 was raced by Vittorio Brambilla. Both drivers raced the 179 thereafter. ## Racing history {#racing_history} Giacomelli qualified the car strongly at Zolder for the Belgian Grand Prix, lining up in 14th place, only two seconds off the pole-time of Jacques Laffite\'s Ligier, and ahead of more experienced competitors, most notably both McLaren cars. A poor start left him in 18th place on lap 1, but he slowly made his way through the field through the misfortune of others, only losing ground to the McLaren of John Watson, surging through the pack from his lowly grid position. He had made it to 13th position by lap 21 with the Shadow of Elio de Angelis chasing hard. De Angelis tried to pass at the chicane, but clumsily clouted the Alfa Romeo, damaging Giacomelli\'s rear wing and putting both cars out of the race. The team missed the Monaco Grand Prix a fortnight later, but returned in France for the race at Dijon-Prenois. Giacomelli\'s qualifying pace was not so strong, and he started the race in 17th place, nearly 3.5 seconds behind Jean-Pierre Jabouille\'s pole time in the Renault. Another poor start put him 20th at the end of lap 1, although he quickly passed Jan Lammers\'s struggling Shadow. He once again slowly picked up places as others fell by the wayside, and by lap 20 he had regained 17th. However the car seemed to suffer from a lack of pace in the next phase of the race, and Giacomelli was passed by Riccardo Patrese and Jochen Mass of Arrows, Héctor Rebaque in the Lotus and his old foe de Angelis in quick succession, dropping to 20th by lap 26. He slowly started to pick up the pace again, and was able to finally re-pass de Angelis on lap 51, and the pair moved up the order as other cars fell out, eventually lying 16th and 17th. The two Italians continued to fight for the remainder of the race, being lapped five times by leader Jabouille in the process. With Jabouille already having crossed the finish line, lap 75 would be their last lap, and de Angelis passed Giacomelli with mere yards of the race remaining to take 16th place from him at the death. After the disappointments of the team\'s first two races, Alfa Romeo skipped the next four and arrived at Monza for the Italian Grand Prix in September with a two-car team for the first time. Giacomelli was driving the new 179 while Vittorio Brambilla was hired to drive the 177. Brambilla had been out of F1 for a year after injuries sustained at Monza the previous year, in the same crash that killed Ronnie Peterson. Brambilla, who had been at the wheel of a Surtees that day, qualified a lowly 22nd, four seconds off Jabouille\'s pole time and over half a second behind Giacomelli in the new car. Although Emerson Fittipaldi and de Angelis passed him on lap 11, in general his position improved through the race as others hit trouble, including Giacomelli, who spun off on lap 29, leaving Brambilla\'s 177 as the sole Alfa representative. Although he was passed late on by Alan Jones, fighting through the pack after his early troubles in the Williams, some other retirements allowed him to finish a creditable 12th, only a lap behind Jody Scheckter\'s winning Ferrari. This would remain Alfa\'s best result of the season, even though new 179s were provided for both drivers in the remaining two races. The 179 would take over permanently as the team attempted a full campaign in 1980, so these three races remain the 177\'s only impact on the F1 record books

# Bad Ditzenbach **Bad Ditzenbach** (Swabian: *Ditzebach*) is a municipality in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany. ## History The townships of Ditzenbach, Auendorf, and Gosbach were, until German mediatization in 1806, possessions of the House of Helfenstein. They were awarded to the Kingdom of Württemberg, a state that had come to control most of the surrounding territory between 1422 and 1455. The town was placed within Württemberg\'s administrative structure in Oberamt Wiesensteig until 1810, when it was transferred to Oberamt Geislingen. The nearby village of Auendorf had already mostly been a possession of Württemberg before mediatization. Auendorf and Gosbach were assigned to Oberamt Göppingen until transfer in 1808 to Oberamt Wiesensteig. Auendorf moved to Oberamt Göppingen in 1810 and in the same year Gosbach joined Ditzenbach in Oberamt Geislingen. The three townships were placed in the district of Göppingen in 1938. The three townships were merged into a new municipality, Bad Ditzenbach, on 1 January 1975. ### Bad Ditzenbach {#bad_ditzenbach} In 1560, a spa was built in the town on its mineral springs.

# Gladys McConnell **Gladys McConnell** (October 22, 1905 -- March 4, 1979) was an American film actress and aviator. ## Early life {#early_life} Gladys McConnell was born in Oklahoma City, Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) but spent much of her youth in Salt Lake City. She was the daughter of insurance executive William Marshall McConnell and his wife, Harriet (née Sharp), and she had an older sister named Hazel. McConnell attended Hollywood High School and Hollywood School for Girls in addition to schools in Spokane, Washington, and Hood River, Oregon. McConnell\'s interest in acting emerged when she accompanied her sister on a visit to Universal Pictures, where Hazel was to have a screen test. Citing her skill with horses, McConnell went to the casting director\'s office to ask for an opportunity to appear in Westerns, and she eventually gained the kinds of roles that she sought. ## Actress McConnell began acting in two-reel comedies and Westerns for Universal in 1924. Her film career lasted about four years from the late silent to early sound era. She sometimes used the professional name **Gladys Morrow**. One of her first parts came in *The Devil Horse* (1926). The film featured Rex the Wonder Horse, a stallion featured in at least 15 films. She starred with Harry Langdon in *Three\'s A Crowd* (1927) and in *The Chaser* (1928), as Langdon\'s talkative wife. She broke ties with the Fox Film Company over differences over her roles, choosing to freelance instead. She also made serials for Pathé Exchange. She was a WAMPAS Baby Star of 1927. WAMPAS was a Hollywood promotional campaign that selected thirteen \"baby stars\" (slang at the time for starlets) as most likely to gain success. Others in the 1927 group included Iris Stuart, Natalie Kingston, Sally Phipps, and Rita Carewe. In 1930, McConnell and actor Hugh Allan participated in legal action against film producer Eska Wilson. Their complaint alleged that Wilson had them go to Honolulu to work in a film but then abandoned them there.

The actors also testified that Wilson failed to pay them four weeks\' salary. ## Marriage McConnell married Arthur Q. Hagerman in 1926; they divorced in August 1929. In September 1931, she married Hollywood attorney, A. Ronald Button, at the Mission Inn in Riverside, California. William Jennings Bryan Jr., a friend of the bridegroom, was best man at the wedding. McConnell was attended by her sister, Mrs. Harold O. Wright.

She was once hostess on a Maddux Airlines passenger plane for an aerial breakfast party. McConnell also flew to various location settings to make films with actors like Harry Langdon and Ken Maynard. ## Death Gladys McConnell died in Fullerton, California in 1979, aged 73

# Gormanston Camp **Gormanston Camp** (Irish: *Campa Rinn Mhic Ghormáin*) is a military camp in Ireland and consists of approximately 260 acres. It is used for air-ground and air-defence training. It is located between Balbriggan and Drogheda along the east coastline of Ireland in County Meath in close proximity to the M1 Motorway and Gormanston railway station. ## Early years {#early_years} The camp started life as a Royal Flying Corps training depot as RFC Gormanston during the First World War in 1917. On 1 April 1918 the RFC was amalgamated with the Royal Naval Air Service to form the Royal Air Force and the airfield became RAF Station Gormanston. After the end of the War the aerodrome there started to be wound down, so by the end of January 1920. The remaining aircraft were transferred to RAF Baldonnel Aerodrome and the station was placed under care and maintenance by a team of 37 officers and airmen. ### War of Independence {#war_of_independence} The Irish War of Independence did not have any effect on the winding down of Gormanston, as aircraft were not deemed to be of any use to the guerrilla type of war that was taking place. From August 1920 to August 1922 Gormanston was used by the Royal Irish Constabulary Black and Tans as a sub-depot for the training of new recruits, and as well as a despatch centre to send Black and Tans all over the country. The officers were responsible for a policy of drunken violence beating up local communities. Andy Cope, deputy of the British commander-in-chief in Ireland, General Sir Nevil Macready, visited Gormanston and Balbriggan after the outrages; he and Sir Mark Sturgis concluded that the RIC was not out of control, but the reprisals were the fault of poor leadership from the officers, as well as lack of training and drill. The evacuation of the force was meant to be completed by 31 March 1922, but due to delays it was August before the last Black and Tans left Gormanstown and the camp was handed over to the National Army. This was during the Irish Civil War which started on 28 June 1922. Gormanstown then became the Headquarters of the Transport Section of the National Army with the ceremonial opening of the base as an Irish army facility taking place on 8 October 1922. ## Internment camp {#internment_camp} An Internment camp was then built in Gormanston to house the vast numbers of Republican prisoners that were captured by the Irish Free State. The Internment camp was under the command of Commandant Morken. The first prisoners to be interned in the camp arrived on 9 September 1922 and there were about 1,000 Republican prisoners interned there, the internees included Oscar Traynor who was made OC by the prisoners, and famous names like Tom Barry who escaped on 28 September 1922, Seán T. O\'Kelly, Connie McNamara and author Frank O\'Connor. Although the Civil War ended on 24 May 1923, the Free State continued to hold over 12,000 Republican prisoners as hostages throughout Ireland to ensure hostilities did not break out again. A hunger strike was organised by Republican commandant Oscar Traynor in October 1923 to protest at conditions in the camp as well as continued internment. (see 1923 Irish hunger strikes). It was in December 1923 when the last prisoners left the camp.

# Gormanston Camp ## World War II {#world_war_ii} During World War II (known colloquially in Ireland as \"The Emergency\"), the camp was used as accommodation for up to 2,000 men who were billeted in forty Nissen huts and the camp was used for a time as an internment camp for the detention of up to 40 RAF aircrews who had crashed landed or made emergency landings in the state. The RAF prisoners were repatriated in two groups one in 1943 and the remainder in May 1944. The airfield had been used on an annual basis since 1935, it was not until 1945 that the Air Corps occupied the camp on a permanent basis. No 1 Fighter Squadron was stationed there in 1944 and were equipped with Hawker Hurricanes. ### Post-war years {#post_war_years} After the war the Hurricanes were replaced with Spitfires in 1947, and in 1956 the Fighter Squadron was transferred to Baldonnel Aerodrome (also known as Casement Aerodrome), whilst an Air Corps training faculty remained at the station. Due to the escalation in civil strife in Northern Ireland in the summer of 1969, Gormanston was designated as a refugee centre in August 1969. Large numbers of people mainly from Belfast moved southwards to escape the violence and were housed in the refugee camp. By the end of October 1971 up to 12,000 persons had passed through the camp. The airfield was closed officially from 2002 but it is still used extensively for Air to Ground Firing and local army activities. Both runways at the airfield are unserviceable (originally three runways), however, it is believed since Gormanston tower and approach is still active, the tarmac runway is still in a good enough condition to be used in an emergency

# Birenbach **Birenbach** is a municipality in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. ## History As a result of the Protestant Reformation in Germany, the properties of the abbeys of Adelberg Abbey and Oberhof were seized by the Duchy of Württemberg.

# Böhmenkirch **Böhmenkirch** is a municipality in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. ## History Böhmenkirch became a possession of the Electorate of Bavaria in 1806 after it annexed Rechberg and Rothenlöwen, but was in 1810 ceded to the Kingdom of Württemberg. The town was assigned to Oberamt Geislingen until its dissolution in 1938, which resulted in Böhmenkirch being assigned to the district of Göppingen. Böhmenkirch began a period of urban growth after World War II. By the end of the 1960s, there were two new residential areas at the southern edge of the town. An industrial zone was established to the north in the 1970s. Böhmenkirch incorporated the municipalities of Treffelhausen and Schnittlingen in 1973 and Steinenkirch in 1974. ## Geography The municipality (*Gemeinde*) of Böhmenkirch is found at the eastern edge of the district of Göppingen, along its border with the districts of Ostalbkreis and Heidenheim. All three districts, and by extension Böhmenkirch, are part of Baden-Württemberg, one of the 16 States of the Federal Republic of Germany. Böhmenkirch is physically located in the Albuch and Härtsfeld regions. Elevation above sea level in the municipal area ranges from a high of 746 m Normalnull (NN) to a low of 495 m NN. A portion of the Federally-protected Eyb, Längenach, and Rohrach river valleys nature reserve is located in Böhmenkirch\'s municipal area. ## Politics Böhmenkirch has four boroughs (*Ortsteile*) -- Böhmenkirch, Schnittlingen, Steinenkirch, and Treffelhausen -- and nine villages: Berg, Hackmesser, Heidhöfe, Lindenhof, Obere Roggenmühle, Ravenstein, Roggensteinhof, Trasenberg, and Ziegelhütte. There are also seven abandoned villages: Boxweiler, Hoebart, Neuhausen, Schönenberg, Siggenweiler, Wintereswanc, Winterreute. ### Coat of arms {#coat_of_arms} The municipal coat of arms for Böhmenkirch displays a wooden church, in yellow upon a field of red. The church is a reference to the municipality\'s name, Böhmenkirch, or \"Bohemian church\", and became the municipality\'s representative motif in 1957 on the suggestion from the Central State Archive Stuttgart in Stuttgart. An image of a tree had since 1924 been the municipal motif. The red-yellow tincture was taken from the House of Rechberg\'s arms. The municipal coat of arms was approved by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, and a corresponding flag for Böhmenkirch issued, on 4 September 1958. ## Transportation Böhmenkirch lies on the historically important Swabian Jura road and is a stop on the Swabian-Franconian Way of St. James. The municipality is connected to Germany\'s network of roadways by Bundesstraße 466. Local public transportation is provided by the Filsland Mobilitätsverbundes

# Sligo Junior Football Championship The **Sligo Junior Football Championship** is an annual Gaelic football competition contested by lower-tier Sligo GAA clubs. St Patrick\'s (formerly Skreen) have the most titles with eight. Ballymote Round Towers are the title holders (2024) defeating Cloonacool GAA in the Final after a replay. ## Honours The winners of the Sligo Junior Championship qualify to represent their county in the Connacht Junior Club Football Championship. The winners of that in 2018 were Easkey and stalwart Eugene Mullen captained them to that. St Johns , who won the Junior Title in 1999 also won the Connacht Championship by beating Monivea Abbey in the final in Tuam before the FBD final. The winners can, in turn, go on to play in the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship. Easkey got to the All-Ireland final in 2019. But they lost to Beaufort when they were there. That was played at Croke Park. The winners are promoted to the Sligo Intermediate Football Championship for the following year. ## History In 2009 the Junior Championship was restructured. For the first time since 2001 there would be two championships, A and B. The A Championship was made up of the semi-finalists in 2008 and relegated teams from the Intermediate Championship. The winner of the A Championship is promoted to Intermediate football. The relegated teams from Intermediate drop down to Junior A and in 2009 three teams were relegated. The B Championship was run on a knockout basis with nine teams entering. The winner of the B Championship is promoted to A for the following year. Eamonn O\'Hara, one of Sligo\'s All Star footballers, played in the 2016 final and he scored 2-1 before the first half ended.

# 2002 Ryder Cup The **34th Ryder Cup** was held 27--29 September 2002 in England, on the Brabazon Course at The Belfry in Wishaw, Warwickshire (near Sutton Coldfield). The European team won the competition by a margin of 15`{{1/2}}`{=mediawiki} to 12`{{1/2}}`{=mediawiki}, the largest margin of victory in the Ryder Cup since the European team won 16`{{1/2}}`{=mediawiki} to 11`{{1/2}}`{=mediawiki} in 1985, also played at The Belfry. Both teams were tied at 8 points going into the Sunday singles matches. Sam Torrance had put most of his best players out early while Curtis Strange had opted to do the opposite. Momentum swung for Europe and after Phillip Price defeated Phil Mickelson 3 & 2, Europe needed `{{1/2}}`{=mediawiki} point for victory. The decisive `{{1/2}}`{=mediawiki} point was secured by Paul McGinley in his match against Jim Furyk after he holed a 10-foot par putt on the 18th hole. The victory prompted Tony Blair, then British Prime Minister to joke in his speech at the following week\'s Labour Party conference: \"What about the Ryder Cup, eh? Britain in Europe at its best. Me and George Bush on opposite sides\". The event was originally scheduled for 28--30 September 2001 but was postponed for a year on 16 September following the September 11 attacks. \"The PGA of America has informed the European Ryder Cup Board that the scope of the last Tuesday\'s tragedy is so overwhelming that it would not be possible for the United States Ryder Cup team and officials to attend the match this month.\" The manager of Phil Mickelson and Mark Calcavecchia had earlier announced that the two players would not travel to Europe. Other American players were said to be concerned about attending the event. It was agreed that the same captains and players would participate in the 2002 event. It was later decided to thereafter play matches in even-numbered years instead of odd-numbered, shifting the already-scheduled 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2013 editions to 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014, respectively. This in turn caused a corresponding change in schedules for the Presidents Cup, Solheim Cup, and Seve Trophy (all of which are played in years the Ryder Cup is not played). The Presidents Cup was in turn delayed by a year, while both the Solheim Cup and Seve Trophy played their 2002 matches as scheduled then subsequently started playing in odd-numbered years in 2003. The Junior Ryder Cup, which was also scheduled for 2001, was rescheduled for 2002. In a case of anachronism, the display boards at The Belfry still read \"The 2001 Ryder Cup\", and U.S. captain Curtis Strange deliberately referred to his team as \"The 2001 Ryder Cup Team\" in his speech at the closing ceremony. These changes would be reverted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which postponed the 2020 Ryder Cup to 2021. This was the second of seven consecutive victories at home by Europe, a streak that remains intact through 2023. ## Television Domestic television coverage was provided by BBC and Sky Sports. In the United States, coverage of the first day was presented on tape-delay by USA Network, but was recorded live. Bill Macatee and Peter Kostis hosted from the 18th tower. On the weekend, NBC Sports presented Saturday\'s coverage on tape, but recorded live. NBC aired the singles live on Sunday. Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller hosted from the 18th tower, Bob Murphy called holes, while on-course reporters were Gary Koch, Mark Rolfing, Roger Maltbie, and Ed Sneed. To provide a European perspective, NBC used former European team captain Bernard Gallacher and former European team player Nick Faldo as guest analysts. Gallacher had performed the same role for NBC at the previous Ryder Cup in 1999. ## Format The Ryder Cup is a match play event, with each match worth one point. The competition format used from 1991 to 2002 was as follows: - **Day 1** (Friday) --- 4 fourball (better ball) matches in a morning session and 4 foursome (alternate shot) matches in an afternoon session - **Day 2** (Saturday) --- 4 foursome matches in a morning session and 4 fourball matches in an afternoon session - **Day 3** (Sunday) --- 12 singles matches With a total of 28 points, 14`{{1/2}}`{=mediawiki} points were required to win the Cup, and 14 points were required for the defending champion to retain the Cup. All matches were played to a maximum of 18 holes.

As vice-captain, the United States captain Curtis Strange selected Mike Hulbert, to assist him during the tournament This was the first Ryder Cup in which U.S. citizens born outside the country were eligible for selection on Team USA. More specifically, two categories of U.S. citizens became eligible: - Individuals born outside the country who received U.S. citizenship at birth. - Naturalized U.S. citizens, if they acquired citizenship before turning 18.

# Josephine Blatt **Josephine Schauer Blatt** (1869 -- September 1, 1923), best known by her stage name **Minerva**, was an American strongwoman. She married strongman Charles Blatt in 1888. ## Early life {#early_life} Blatt was born in New York, the ninth child of German immigrants Joseph and Louisa Schauer. Her father immigrated in 1858 and her mother two years later. Nineteenth-century accounts differ as to the place and time of her birth. In an interview in *The Mirror* of Manchester, New Hampshire, she claimed to have been born in 1865 in Hamburg, Germany. The *Guinness Book of World Records* listed her as an American, born in 1869, and various accounts place her either in Hoboken or Elizabethtown, New Jersey in her youth. ## World weightlifting record dispute {#world_weightlifting_record_dispute} In the July 1937 issue of *Strength & Health* magazine, Rosetta Hoffman made the claim that Minerva had lifted 23 men and a platform, in a 3,564--lb hip-and-harness lift. For several years, the *Guinness Book of World Records* listed Minerva as having lifted the greatest weight ever by a woman---3,564-lb in a hip-and-harness lift--- \"at the Bijou Theatre, Hoboken, N.J., on April 15, 1895.\" Hoffman may be the source for *Guinness* record, even though it contradicts, and even enhances, the published claim of the time from the sponsor of the event, the *National Police Gazette*. The *Gazette*, a sensationalist tabloid of the period, claimed she lifted a platform with only 18 men weighing \"approximately 3000 pounds\". For this feat, the *Gazette* awarded Minerva with a solid gold loving cup on April 29, 1895; this trophy is now lost. In the 1890s she competed across Mexico. ## Wrestling career {#wrestling_career} Blatt has been called the first woman to win a wrestling championship in the US. She wrestled against both men and women. She lost the title of women\'s wrestling champion to challenger Alice Williams, who then lost it to Laura Bennett in 1901; Blatt challenged Bennett on several occasions but never regained the championship. ## Late life {#late_life} Blatt retired from performance in 1910, and invested in New Jersey real estate. She died on September 1, 1923

# Bad Boll **Bad Boll** (`{{IPA|de|baːt ˈbɔl}}`{=mediawiki}) is a municipality in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. ## History In 1321, the County of Württemberg purchased title over Bad Boll and came to possess it *de jure*, but it was *de facto* still controlled by a local priory. That changed with the conversion of the then Duchy of Württemberg to Lutheranism and the seizure of church property. Since 1321, Bad Boll has been placed under the jurisdiction of Göppingen. The hot springs around Bad Boll were discovered in 1595. A year later, the first spa in the municipality was constructed by Heinrich Schickhardt. That spa was rebuilt and expanded from 1823 to 1825. Eckwälden was incorporated into Bad Boll in 1933. The first Evangelical Academy in Germany was established in Bad Boll in 1945. Bad Boll changed its name from Boll to Bad Boll in 2007. ## Geography The municipality (*Gemeinde*) of Bad Boll is found towards the western periphery of the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg, one of the 16 States of the Federal Republic of Germany. Bad Boll is physically located in the Foothills of the central Swabian Jura, though a portion of its municipal area lies in the Middle Kuppenalb to the southeast. Elevation above sea level in the municipal area ranges from a high 734 m Normalnull (NN) to a low of 367 m. A portion of the Federally-protected Teufelsloch-Kaltenwang nature reserve is located in Bad Boll\'s municipal area. ## Politics Bad Boll has one borough (*Ortsteile*), Boll, and two villages: Bad Boll and Eckwälden. Bad Boll is part of an municipal association with the municipalities of Aichelberg, Dürnau, Gammelshausen, Hattenhofen, and Zell unter Aichelberg. ### Coat of arms {#coat_of_arms} The municipal coat of arms of Bad Boll displays a white fountain with white waters and a Hirschstange, in black, upon a field of green. The fountain is a reference to the local hot springs and the stag antler to Württemberg. The Federal Ministry of the Interior awarded this coat of arms and a municipal flag to Bad Boll on 25 January 1961. ## Transportation Bad Boll is connected to Germany\'s network of roadways by its local *Landesstraßen* and *Kreisstraßen*, which join the Bundesautobahn 8 at Aichelberg. From 1926 to 1989, Bad Boll was also connected to Germany\'s railroads by the Voralbahn, which was formally closed in 1997 but not dismantled.

# Deggingen **Deggingen** is a municipality in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. ## History The House of Helfenstein ruled Deggingen until it went extinct in 1627. Deggingen and the town of Reichenbach im Täle were annexed by the Kingdom of Württemberg when, in 1806, the Lordship of Wiesensteig was mediatized to them. The two towns were assigned to Oberamt Wiesensteig until 1810, when they were reassigned to Oberamt Göppingen. That district was reorganized as Landkreis Göppingen, which retained Deggingen and Reichenbach im Täle.

# Drackenstein **Drackenstein** is a municipality in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany. ## Geography ### Geographical location {#geographical_location} Drackenstein is located on the slope between the Gosbach valley and the plateau of the Swabian Jura, about 25 km away from the district town Göppingen. On the plateau of the Swabian Jura, (karst mountains), in earlier times water was a precious commodity.

It is believed that the name of the community goes back to a legend of the dragon hole. ### Neighboring communities {#neighboring_communities} The municipality borders on Bad Ditzenbach, in the southeast on Merklingen, in the southwest on Hohenstadt and in the west on the town Wiesensteig and the municipality Mühlhausen im Täle. Merklingen belongs to Alb-Donau-district, all others to Göppingen district. ## Municipality arrangement {#municipality_arrangement} The municipality includes the village Oberdrackenstein, the hamlet Unterdrackenstein and the homestead Kölleshof. ## History Drackenstein was first documented in a chronicle of the Zwiefalten Abbey from the year 1137.

# Frank Spenlove-Spenlove **John Francis Spenlove-Spenlove** (24 February 1864 -- 20 April 1933) was a Scottish landscape and figure painter. ## Life and work {#life_and_work} Spenlove-Spenlove was born in Stirling, Scotland. He painted in both oils and watercolour, and was a member of the Royal College of Art (RCA), Royal Society of British Artists (RBA), Royal Institution (RI) and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI). From 1886 he exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, London. He was also known as an author. He was made an honoury member of the Belfast Art Society in June 1904. In 1896, he founded a successful school of modern art at Beckenham, Kent, called the Yellow Door School of Art. One of his outstanding students was Ba Nyan, a penurious student from Burma who had been sent to England in 1921 to study at the Royal College of Art but soon switched to Spenlove\'s Yellow Door School where he could focus on oil painting. Spenlove and Ba Nyan developed a close relationship and Spenlove eventually deferred Ba Nyan\'s fees. When Ba Nyan returned permanently to Burma in 1930, he had a revolutionary impact on Burmese painting, introducing the techniques in Western painting which he had learned from Spenlove and other British painters such Frank Brangwyn. All of Spenlove-Spenlove\'s paintings show his peculiar skill in the rendering of an atmosphere. Among the best known are: - *Funeral in Holland in Winter* (gold medal, The Salon, Paris, 1901) - *Too Late* (Musée d\'Orsay, Paris) - *The Little White Cross* (Manchester Art Gallery) - *In the Shadow of the Church* (Manchester Art Gallery) - *Vespers, Holland* (1906, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow) - *Grey of the Morn* (Guildhall, London) - *Grey of Evening* (Ferens Art Gallery, Kingston upon Hull) - *The Hill-Top* (1912) He died in London in 1933, aged 69

# Frank Lascelles (diplomat) **Sir Frank Cavendish Lascelles** `{{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|GCB|GCMG|GCVO|PC}}`{=mediawiki} (23 March 1841 -- 2 January 1920) was a British diplomat. He served as Ambassador to both Russia and Germany. ## Background and education {#background_and_education} Lascelles was born in London, the fifth son of William Lascelles, himself the third son of Henry Lascelles, 2nd Earl of Harewood. His mother was Lady Caroline Howard, daughter of George Howard, 6th Earl of Carlisle. He was educated at Harrow and joined the Diplomatic Service in 1861. ## Diplomatic career {#diplomatic_career} Lascelles served in junior positions at the British embassies in Madrid, Paris, Rome, Washington, D.C., and Athens. He was trained in the diplomatic service by Richard Lyons, 1st Viscount Lyons, and was a member of the Tory-sympathetic \'Lyons School\' of British diplomacy. Lascelles was Consul-General in Egypt from 20 March to 10 October 1879, during the last years of the reign of Khedive Isma\'il Pasha. In 1879 Lascelles became Consul-General in Bulgaria, which had been an autonomous principality since the Treaty of Berlin of 1878. He remained in Bulgaria until 1887, and was then Minister (similar to ambassador) to Romania from 1887 to 1891 and to Persia from 1891 to 1894, where his niece Gertrude Bell visited him, starting a lifelong passion for travel. He served briefly as Ambassador to Russia between 1894 and 1895, but in the latter year he was appointed to succeed Sir Edward Malet as Ambassador to Germany. His tenure in Berlin saw the growing estrangement between Germany and the UK, and Lascelles notably had to deal with the effects of the Kruger telegram only days after his arrival. His relationship with Emperor Wilhelm II was always cordial but he was known to resent the policies of Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow. He resigned as ambassador in 1908 but continued to exercise influence over Anglo-German relations up until the First World War. Lascelles was knighted KCMG in 1886, promoted to GCMG in 1892, appointed GCB in 1897, and GCVO in 1904 following King Edward VII\'s meeting with Emperor Wilhelm II at Kiel. He was admitted to the Privy Council in 1894. ## Family In 1869 Lascelles married Mary Emma Olliffe (1845--1897), daughter of Sir Joseph Olliffe who was physician to the British Embassy in Paris. They had three children: - William Frank Lascelles (21 March 1863 -- 8 March 1913), married Lady Sybil Beauclerk (1871--1910), daughter of William Beauclerk, 10th Duke of St Albans. They were the parents of Mary Montagu Douglas Scott, Duchess of Buccleuch. - Gerald Claud Lascelles (19 July 1869 -- 26 June 1919), married Cecil Raffo. - Florence Caroline Lascelles (27 January 1876 -- 9 December 1961), married Sir Cecil Spring Rice. Lascelles survived his wife by over twenty years and died in 1920, aged 78. He is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London

# LocalLink 95 (BaltimoreLink) **LocalLink 95** is a bus route operated by the Maryland Transit Administration in Baltimore. The line currently runs from the intersection of Roland Avenue and Lake Avenue in Roland Park south to the Inner Harbor via Roland Avenue, University Parkway, Charles Street (northbound trips) and St. Paul Street (southbound trips). The bus route is the successor to Route 61 due to BaltimoreLink, and the **24 Lakeside** (Lake Roland) and **29 Boulevard** (now University Parkway) streetcar lines. ## History Route 61 under this designation has served its route since 1977 until the renaming to Route 95 under BaltimoreLink. But several other bus and streetcar lines using different designations previously served the same route. One other bus route in Baltimore transit history used the no. 61 designation, a downtown area parking lot line that operated 1946 to 1949. The Baltimore, Hampden and Lake Roland Railroad, which was consolidated into the Lake Roland Elevated Railway in April 1892 and bought by the City and Suburban Railway in January 1895, reached Lake Roland in 1893. Its original route used the Guilford Avenue Elevated north from downtown Baltimore, and continued along Guilford Avenue, North Avenue, Howard Street, 23rd Street, Hampden Avenue, 24th Street, Sisson Street, Keswick Road, 34th Street, Elm Avenue, 40th Street, Roland Avenue, and private right-of-way to the lake. In 1895, the portion between 23rd Street and 40th Street was abandoned; the southern half over the Elevated was soon through-routed with the Gilmor Street Line, while the northern half was connected to the City and Suburban\'s Huntingdon Line. This line ended at the car house at Upland Road in Roland Park, and a Lakeside Line shuttle - numbered 11 by 1923 - connected the car house to Lake Roland. It was renumbered 28 on October 17, 1924, and 24 probably on November 24, 1929. When the Roland Park Line (10) was replaced with trackless trolleys on April 13, 1940, the Lakeside Line was extended south on Roland Avenue to the water tower just south of University Parkway. It was truncated to Lake Avenue on June 22, 1947, and discontinued on January 29, 1950. The Boulevard Line, numbered 29, began operating on October 8, 1908. It ran from downtown north along the original Calvert Street Line (Calvert, Read, and Charles Streets, North Avenue, and St. Paul Street to 25th Street), continuing along St. Paul Street, University Parkway (then Boulevard), and Roland Avenue to the carhouse. The route was replaced by a bus (also 29) on June 22, 1947, which continued north on Roland Avenue to Lake Avenue, allowing the Lakeside Line to be truncated there. This Route 29 bus was absorbed into Route 6 on January 11, 1959. Route 6, which also had a branch to East Monument Street, followed this routing for the next 18 years. On June 14, 1977, this portion of Route 6 was again split off into four separate routes. A new Route 61 between Lake Avenue and downtown. **Route 62** served East Monument Street (now served by Route 35). Routes 63 and 64 (now only Route 64) served the southern end of the route south of North Avenue. Over the years, there have been attempts to improve ridership, which has always been very low except for students. Selected trips that operated to the Mount Washington Light Rail Stop between 1992 and 1995, running via Northern Parkway, Falls Road, and Kelly Avenue were discontinued due to low ridership. Weekend service was eliminated in 1993; a private company operated replacement service for a short time before giving it up. In 2005, as part of the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative, a comprehensive overhaul plan for the region\'s transit system, MTA proposed to eliminate Route 61. While the St. Paul Street corridor continues to be served by other buses, no plan was made to provide service on Roland Avenue. The proposal drew a lot of protest. In 2006, MTA announced a new set of proposals that likewise, would include the discontinuation of Route 61, but with peak hour service being provided on a new branch of Route 11. This plan was delayed several times while Route 61 continued to operate unchanged. GBBI was canceled in 2007, but this plan was announced again later that year. In February 2008, MTA announced that Route 61 would continue to operate, but during peak hours only. Ultimately, Route 61 remained as a peak-hour operation. ## Extension to Mount Washington {#extension_to_mount_washington} On July 5, 2011, service was extended to the Mount Washington loop to provide riders with a connection to the Light Rail and routes 27, 58, and 60

# West Virginia's 6th congressional district **West Virginia\'s 6th congressional district** is an obsolete district existing from 1917 to 1963. The district\'s bounds changed greatly over the years, but its last version focused on the capital city of Charleston and some safe Democratic territory running south of that city to Beckley. Today the state has two districts, the 1st covering the southern half of the state and the 2nd the northern half. ## History The 6th district was formed in 1916 after a period of two elections where the state elected an additional congressman \"at large\" in addition to the districts formed in 1902. It consisted of Kanawha, Boone, Raleigh, Fayette, Greenbrier, and Pocahontas counties. In practical effect, it was the core of the previous 3rd district. In 1934, Fayette, Greenbrier, and Pocahontas were removed and Logan was added. The district was unchanged for 1952, and was abolished in 1962. ## List of representatives {#list_of_representatives} +------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+---------------------+-------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Representative | Party | Dates | Cong\ | Electoral history | | | | | ress | | +========================================================================+===============+=====================+=======+====================================================================================================+ | District established March 4, 1917 | | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+---------------------+-------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | align=left nowrap \| \ | \| Democratic | March 4, 1917 --\ | | Redistricted from the `{{ushr|West Virginia|3|3rd district}}`{=mediawiki} and re-elected in 1916.\ | | **Adam B.

# Black Hole (roller coaster) **Black Hole**, briefly known as **Black Hole II** (1988) and **New Black Hole** (1989), was an enclosed steel roller coaster located at Alton Towers theme park near Alton in the English shire county of Staffordshire, United Kingdom. Manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf and designed by Werner Stengel, the Jet Star 2 model opened to public in 1984 and operated until 2005. The track layout was enclosed within a large tent-like structure to provide a dark ride experience. The structure was a large green and yellow PVC-covered structure (which was re-themed in 1998 and re-coloured in blue), designed by Rudi Enos. ## History Taking the place of the former Dinosaur Land attraction, which had then been moved into storage, the modular steel track for Black Hole was constructed by Anton Schwarzkopf. The roller coaster was given a space theme and debuted at the park in 1984. In 1985, the bottom of the first drop was modified slightly to make the ride run more smoothly. Lights were also added to the lift, so that riders were able to brace themselves for the first drop. For the 1988 season, Black Hole was dismantled and transported to Europe, where it had an overhaul by BHS (later becoming Maurer Söhne) of Peißenberg in Germany, to accommodate dual-car trains. The reconstructed roller coaster reopened, and was briefly named Black Hole II in 1988, and then New Black Hole in 1989, before reverting to its original name. The opening of Oblivion in 1998 led to the redevelopment of Fantasy World, which became known as X-Sector. Black Hole underwent another refurbishment and was integrated into the new themed area. The colour scheme of the original tent was changed from yellow and green to a dark blue, and the entrance was revamped to reflect the X-Sector theme. Its interior was redesigned, featuring a modified queue layout and station, which were restyled with a Jules Verne theme. In later years, the Black Hole became costly to maintain, and the park decided to close the attraction in 2005. The roller coaster track was dismantled and sold in 2007. There were no confirmed plans to reuse the site, and the tent remained unused for several years. During a question-and-answer session in 2010 celebrating the opening of TH13TEEN, it was confirmed by John Wardley and then-marketing director Morwenna Angove that preparation for a new roller coaster in 2013 had begun, and that the former site of Black Hole was being considered for the location. A planning application for the Black Hole site was submitted in early 2012 and approved by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council. The large tent which housed the now former Black Hole was eventually dismantled in April 2012 to make way for The Smiler. ## Scare mazes {#scare_mazes} During the park\'s annual Halloween *Scarefest* event in October 2011, the former Black Hole tent was used to house two temporary scare maze attractions. This was the first time the structure had been put to public use since the attraction\'s closure in March 2005. ## Relocation After a renovation from Gerstlauer, the former Black Hole ride was transported to Sweden and reopened as Rocket at Furuvik Zoo on 21 May 2011. In late 2021, Furuvik Zoo put the rollercoaster up for sale

# Mitsubishi TETRA The **Mitsubishi TETRA** is a concept car developed by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors. It was first exhibited at the 57th Frankfurt Motor Show in 1997 as the **Mitsubishi Technas**, before being displayed at the 32nd Tokyo Motor Show as the TETRA later the same year. The name is an acronym of \"Thoroughbred styling Ergonomic multi function interior Technologically advanced sporty performance RISE & All-round information system\". The TETRA was an attempt to combine the traditional benefits of a sports utility vehicle with the more performance-biased handling of a car, by lowering the ground clearance and overall height, and thereby the center of gravity, while using a wide track and wide, low profile tires. Under the skin, it utilised a *6G72* 24-valve 3.0-litre DOHC V6 with gasoline direct injection, mated to an *INVECS-II* five-speed automatic transmission. The electronically controlled, full-time four-wheel drive system was heavily based on that of the high performance Legnum VR-4 wagon, incorporating a center differential and Active Yaw Control (AYC). The same car was the donor of the four wheel multi-link suspension, rear self-levelling mechanism, and *RISE* (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) passive safety construction. Styling details included a vertically split rear tailgate, center-opening suicide doors at the rear, and a two-piece split-opening hood

# Borno Youth Movement **Borno Youth Movement** (BYM) was a Nigerian political party founded on June 26, 1954. The party was founded by young radicals of Kanuri heritage who were indignant with the administrative course of native authorities in Borno and wanted to reform the authority. The entry of Ibrahim Imam to the party led to an upswing in the fortunes of the party in Borno. Ibrahim Imam had earlier resigned his position as secretary-general of NPC and had joined NEPU. He merged NEPU activities in Borno with that of the youth movement. However, the alliance with NEPU hit the rocks in 1958, after which BYM forged a new alliance with the Action Group

# River Plate F.C. **River Plate Football Club** was a Uruguayan football club, founded in 1897. River Plate is considered one of the four giants of the first era in Uruguayan football, alongside rivals Montevideo Wanderers and the current *big two*: CURCC (Peñarol) and Nacional. River reached important achievements during the first years of football in the country. In fact, the national side\'s uniform is a light blue (\"celeste\") shirt in tribute to River Plate victory over Argentine team Alumni, when the squad had to wear an alternate jersey to solve a color similarity between both teams. ## History In 1897, a group of Port of Montevideo workers met to establish a football team, which was named \"Cagancha F.C.\". When they requested Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) to join the body, they were informed that only English names were accepted. Therefore, the team was renamed as \"River Plate F.C.\" but the AUF alleged that they also must have English-native players so the request was denied again. Due to the fact that River Plate belonged to the Port of Montevideo zone, they were nicknamed *Darseneros* (*Dockers*), the same nickname that current River Plate of Montevideo have adopted. In 1901 the AUF finally approved the affiliation of River Plate to the Association, soon after another *criollo* team, Nacional, had joined the body. The team was assigned to the second Division and played there from 1902 until the 1906 seasons. In 1905 River Plate was relegated to the Second Division after the team made a disappointing campaign in Primera. Originally, River Plate jersey was black, but it would be changed to red and white in commemoration of the 1904 Revolution (also known as the Uruguayan last civil war). In 1906 River Plate was promoted to Primera División, winning its first title in 1908. In April 1910, River Plate played against Argentine team Alumni, the most successful club in that country by then. Because of both teams having similar uniforms, River Plate wore an alternative light blue jersey and won the match by 2--1. River line up was: Cabalotti; José and Miguel Benincasa; Louried, Sanz, García, Módena, Dacal, D\'Agosti, Raymonda and Seoane. Some months later, in August 1910, Uruguay national team wore the light blue jersey for the first time, facing the Argentine side. Uruguay won the match by 3--1. The club would win another three championships, in 1910, 1913 and 1914. In 1920 the team was relegated to second division. Nevertheless, River Plate joined dissident Uruguayan Football Federation in 1923 that organised its own tournament in 1923. River Plate finished 26th., being relegated with other 16 teams. That would be the last appearance of the club in the top division of Uruguay. By 1925 River Plate F.C. had been dissolved

# Abdul Sattar Abu Risha **Abdul Sattar Abu Risha** (*عبد الستار أبو ريشة*) -- **Sheikh Abdul Sattar Eftikhan al-Rishawi** الشيخ عبد الستار افتيخان الريشاوي -- (born 1972 -- 13 September 2007) was a high-profile Iraqi tribal sheikh of the Abu-Risha tribe. He was the leader of an alliance of Iraqi Sunni Arab tribes that opposed al-Qaeda in Iraq. Abu Risha was assassinated shortly after becoming an ally of the Iraqi government through forming an organisation of fellow tribal chiefs called the *Sahawat al-Anbar* (Anbar Awakening), based in Anbar\'s provincial capital of Ramadi, some 70 mi west of Baghdad. ## Life Abu Risha was the grandson of a tribal leader in the 1920 Iraqi Revolt and the son of an officer who served in the Anglo-Iraqi War in 1941. Little is known about Abu Risha\'s life prior to the Iraq War, albeit he reportedly ran a construction and import-export business with offices in Amman in Jordan and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. According to *The Washington Post*, \"he was called a warlord and a highway bandit, an oil smuggler and an opportunist\". Many of the Awakening leaders are believed to have at least tacitly supported the Iraqi insurgency, though Sattar claimed he never did. During the early part of the insurgency following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, as al-Qaeda\'s fighters tightened their grip on Ramadi, it is reported that they became increasingly repressive and challenged the tribal leaders\' power. Soon they were kidnapping and beheading tribal Sunnis as part of a campaign of extortion and intimidation. Abdul Sattar\'s own father and two brothers were killed by al-Qaeda. During the late summer of 2006, he began enlisting his fellow sheikhs in *Sahawat al-Anbar* and encouraging members of his tribe to join the local police force. The U.S. forces under Lt. Col. Tony Deane encouraged Sattar and provided security for the initial meetings of the Al Anbar tribal meetings at Sattar\'s compound in western Ramadi; these early meetings were the beginning of what grew into the Anbar Salvation Council by the fall of 2006; in March 2007 the Council counted 41 clans from Anbar province. The development led to a sharp reduction of violence in the province and forced many al-Qaeda fighters to flee to other regions of Iraq. ## Assassination Abu Risha was assassinated on 13 September 2007, along with three of his guards by an improvised explosive device planted on the road near the gate of his house in Ramadi. The Islamic State of Iraq took responsibility for the attack and several dozen people were arrested in connection with the killing, including the head of his own security detail. The sheikh\'s funeral attracted about 1,500 mourners, including Iraq\'s national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie, Interior Minister Jawad Jawad Bulani, Defense Minister General Qadir Obeidi and Lieutenant-General Raymond Odierno, second in command of U.S. forces in Iraq, and sparked vows of revenge. After Abu Risha\'s death, his brother, Sheik Ahmed Abu Risha, was selected to take over leadership of the Anbar Salvation Council by the tribal leaders of the province

# Council on State Taxation The **Council on State Taxation** (**COST**) is a state tax organization representing business taxpayers. It has been noted by one prominent tax policy expert`{{Who|date=June 2016}}`{=mediawiki} as the \"most influential nongovernmental organization in the state tax policy arena.\"`{{Attribution needed|date=June 2016}}`{=mediawiki} COST is a non-profit trade association based in Washington, D.C. consisting of approximately 550 multistate corporations engaged in interstate and international business. COST was formed in 1969 as the \"Committee on State Taxation\" by a handful of companies under the sponsorship of the Council of State Chambers of Commerce, an organization with which COST remains associated. In 2000, the organization changed its name to \"Council on State Taxation\". COST\'s objective is to preserve and promote equitable and nondiscriminatory state and local taxation of multijurisdictional business entities. ## Membership COST membership is exclusive, only multistate businesses that are not engaged in tax advising or consulting may apply for membership. As a member of COST, a business will have access to the following benefits: - Participation in COST\'s renowned conferences and schools - Access to a national network of corporate state tax professionals sharing technical knowledge - Able to shape and benefit from COST\'s legislative, regulatory and judicial advocacy - Tax savings as a result of identifying tax saving opportunities. ## Education COST offers education opportunities. COST events include: - SALT Basics School - Sales Tax Conference and Audit Session - Spring Audit Session and Income Tax Conference - Forum on U.S. State and Local Taxes for European Companies - Intermediate/Advanced Sales and Use Tax School - Intermediate/Advanced State Income Tax School - Forum on U.S. State and Local Taxes for Canadian Companies - Annual Meeting (including Members-Only Audit Sessions) - Indirect State Tax Workshop - Property Tax Workshop - Canadian Taxes for U.S. Companies Workshop - Approximately 40 Regional Meetings held in cities throughout the U.S. All COST programs qualify with state boards of accountancy and state bar associations for continuing education credits. ## Advocacy COST\'s advocacy program is oriented toward active involvement on state tax issues of broad importance to the membership. COST advocates on behalf of its membership in the legislative, judicial and administrative arenas. State and local government policymakers rely heavily on COST staff in formulating, implementing, and changing the state tax landscape. COST\'s reputation as the nationwide voice of corporate taxpayers has garnered respect from the leadership of the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Federation of Tax Administrators, the National Governors Association, and even the Multistate Tax Commission. COST\'s involvement in an issue on behalf of its corporate membership signals to state leaders that the issue is one of importance. COST also serves as a resource on business tax issues to other organizations, including State Chambers of Commerce and state taxpayer associations, as those groups develop strategies to address complex state tax matters. COST disseminates information on pertinent legislative, judicial and regulatory developments through regular publications, and coordinates advocacy activities with members and other sympathetic parties. COST files amicus briefs with state and federal courts, provides testimony (oral and written) before legislative and administrative bodies, meets regularly with state policymakers, and brings together interested members to enhance advocacy activities on targeted issues. ## Public policy goals {#public_policy_goals} 1. \"COST will educate policymakers and the public regarding the state and local tax system and businesses direct and indirect contributions to the state and local tax system. COST will further educate policymakers and the public regarding the state and local tax system\'s impact on business, jobs and investment.\" - To this end, COST has offered continuing education instruction related to state and local taxes. 2. \"COST will regularly evaluate the state and local tax system to determine whether the statutes, rules, legal decisions and policies governing tax administration are fair, efficient and customer-focused.\" 3. \"COST will work to improve tax administration where it is not fair, efficient and customer-focused. Wherever possible, COST will see to partner on these efforts with the Federation of Tax Administrators, the Multistate Tax Commission, the National Conference of State Legislatures and other representatives of state and local governments.

# Ferruccio Ghinaglia `{{No footnotes|date=June 2022}}`{=mediawiki} **Ferruccio Ghinaglia** (29 September 1899 -- 21 April 1921) was an Italian Marxist revolutionary, active in the second decade of the 20th century and killed by political enemies in 1921. Ghinaglia was born in Casalbuttano ed Uniti in the Province of Cremona. He was not of a rich family, but distinguished himself in the high school in Cremona as a fervent Socialist and anti-militarist through his writings in the pages of the school paper *Lo Studente* (*The Student*), which caused him some trouble with the police because this was during the First World War. He arrived in Pavia in 1917 as a student of medicine and earned himself a place in the Ghislieri College which is linked to the University of Pavia, but little afterwards he was called to carry out military service. He managed to reestablish a link with his Cremonese contacts and resumed his place in the Socialist Youth. After he had moved back to Pavia, he became the leader of the left-wing split of the Socialist Party and then the secretary of the newborn Communist Party of Italy (later to be known as the Italian Communist Party) and founder and director of the Pavesan Federation of that party in 1921. Ghinaglia was a person who asserted the necessity of resistance to the Fascist violence. On the 21 April 1921, Ghinaglia fell victim to a Fascist vendetta and was found dead by a gunshot wound to the head on the bridge overlooking the Ticino River. Though Ghinaglia was dead, Benito Mussolini still found difficulty in suppressing the anti-Fascist movement. His killing generating popular disdain that culminated in a massive funeral that marched throughout the streets of Pavia the day after because of his political assassination (which is still held as such even today). He is remembered by toponyms in the cities of Pavia and Cremona and also by the Communist Refoundation Party and other political groups of the Left

# Cape Verde–European Union relations Cape Verde is an island nation, part of the Macaronesian group of islands of the Atlantic Ocean and was a Portuguese colony during the colonial era between 1460 and 1975. EU-Cape Verde relations are founded on the EU/Cape Verde Special Partnership, agreed in 2007, building on six pillars: - Good governance - Security/stability - Regional integration - Technical and Regulatory Convergence - Knowledge-based Society - The fight against poverty, and development. Following that, an Action Plan for Security and Stability was launched in 2014 and a Mobility Partnership. Cape Verde is a member of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), an African regional bloc, which aims for internal integration similar to that of the EU. Even though it does not yet participate in all of ECOWAS\' activities, Cape Verde cannot have membership in both organizations at the same time. It is also a member of the African Union, an organization aiming for a common currency in Africa, a single defense force for the African continent and an African Union head of state. In 2016, the Cape Verde government declared its intention to present ECOWAS with proposals for \"special status\" instead of full membership. Cape Verde is also one of the beneficiaries of the EU\'s regional cooperation programme with Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP): Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe. ## Membership In March 2005, former Portuguese president Mário Soares launched a petition urging the European Union to start membership talks with Cape Verde, saying the country could act as a bridge between Africa, Latin America, and the EU. Cape Verde\'s per capita GDP is lower than those of the current member states and candidate countries. Freedom House in 2021 gave Cape Verde the maximum score for all aspects of *Political Pluralism and Participation* and *Civil Liberties*. Most of the imports and exports of Cape Verde are for and from the European Union, and it has a service-based economy. Its currency, the escudo, is pegged to the euro. Although the Cape Verde archipelago is geographically part of Africa, there have been similar situations before. Cyprus is an island nation that, despite being geographically in Asia, has already joined both the Council of Europe and the EU. Furthermore, the Cape Verde islands are part of the same archipelago as the Canary Islands (part of Spain), Madeira (part of Portugal) and Azores (part of Portugal), known as Macaronesia. There is currently no political recognition by the EU of Cape Verde as a European state. However, unlike in the case of Morocco, there is no formal rejection either. Complementing Cape Verde\'s efforts to join the EU, the Macaronesian group of islands (the Azores, Madeira, and the Canary Islands) have stated their support. The Atlantic group of islands are pushing for an entrance of Cape Verde into the EU under a special status

# PORTIS/SPORTIS **PORTIS** (Portable Operated Ticket Issuing System) and latterly **SPORTIS** were portable ticket issuing systems used on Rail transport in Great Britain from 1982 until 2006. The system was also formerly used by Northern Ireland Railways for the issue of all tickets, including at railway station booking offices. ## PORTIS These machines were developed by Thorn EMI with the prototype of PORTIS being introduced from 3 May 1982 in the Bristol area. They replaced the Almex machines with Omniprinter that were used previously for on-board train ticket sales. The PORTIS was the first British Railways ticket issuing system to use thermal roll ticket stock. The production version of PORTIS was introduced in 1986. ## SPORTIS A modified version which accepted credit-cards was introduced slightly later, known as SPORTIS (Super Portable Ticket Issuing System). The SPORTIS memory was configured for each route that the machine would operate, so that it held the most likely fares that would be requested. If an unusual fare was requested, then the ticket inspector would have to refer to fares manuals and enter the details manually. SPORTIS could not encode the magnetic stripe on the back of tickets, so tickets issued using the system could not be used in automated ticket gates. SPORTIS weighed around 2.9 kg. The original specification stated that it should be about the same weight as two bags of sugar. ## Replacement As of 2006 all SPORTIS have been replaced by Avantix Mobile or Paper Ticket Pads, RSP 4407/4408 series for those Train Operating Companies, for example, Merseyrail, who did not adopt Avantix Mobile as a replacement

# The Tholsel, Kilkenny **The Tholsel** (*An Tholsel, Cill Chainnigh*), also known as the **Town Hall**, is a municipal building in the High Street, Kilkenny, County Kilkenny, Ireland. It served as the meeting place by Kilkenny Borough Council until the council was abolished in 2014. The Municipal District of Kilkenny City, the Borough Council\'s successor within Kilkenny County Council, meets at County Hall. ## History The first tholsel, or guildhall, in the High Street may have dated back to the 14th century. It was the likely location of the execution of Petronilla de Meath, a woman who was tried and found guilty, after torture, of heresy, and then flogged and burnt at the stake on 3 November 1324. It was used for the collection of tolls and other administrative functions for the town but fell into disuse in the late 15th century. A second tholsel, designed in the Renaissance style, was erected in the High Street in 1579. By the mid-18th century, the earlier tholsel had become dilapidated and the borough council, led by Alderman William Colles, decided to commission a new building on the same site. The new building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in rubble masonry at a cost of £1,315 and was completed in 1761. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing west onto the High Street. It was arcaded on the ground floor, so that markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. The arcading was formed by voussoirs which were supported by piers at the corners, and by Doric order columns between the bays. On the first floor, the building was fenestrated by square headed casement windows with Gibbs surrounds. At roof level, there was a three-stage octagonal cupola with round headed windows in the first stage, clock faces in the second stage and louvres in the third stage, surmounted by a weather vane. Internally, the principal room was the assembly room on the first floor, which featured a plasterwork cornice to the ceiling. The theologian John Wesley visited the building soon after it was completed and preached to a small audience in July 1762. The Irish republican and leader of Fianna Fáil political party, Éamon de Valera, gave a speech in the town hall on his party\'s economic and financial policy in March 1929. On 20 September 1985, the Tholsel was gutted by fire. That evening, fireman Joe Stapleton was completing his duties as the Town Sergeant when he discovered a fire on the upper floor of the building. He called the fire service, opened the main gates for the fire tenders and took the 17th-century charters of the city to safety. It took 35 firemen and six fire engines to fight this fire, which was started by a small electrical fault. The building was subsequently restored and re-opened to the public in February 1987. The assembly room continued to serve as the council chamber of Kilkenny Borough Council, until the council was dissolved and administration of the town was amalgamated with Kilkenny County Council in 2014. Important documents held in the Tholsel include The Primus Kilkenniensis, or First Book of Kilkenny, printed in the late 14th century, which incorporates the charter given to the people of Kilkenny by William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke in the early 13th century

# Thruxton Jackaroo The **Thruxton Jackaroo** was a 1950s British four-seat cabin biplane converted from a de Havilland Tiger Moth by Jackaroo Aircraft Limited at Thruxton Aerodrome and Rollason Aircraft and Engines Limited at Croydon Airport. ## History The Thruxton Jackaroo was designed as a four-seat cabin general purpose biplane; the original tandem two-seat Tiger Moth fuselage was widened to allow side-by-side seating for 4 people. It was marketed as \"the cheapest four-seat aircraft in the world\". The first conversion first flew on 2 March 1957. Eighteen Tiger Moths were converted by Jackaroo Aircraft Limited between 1957 and 1959 and one aircraft was converted by Rollason\'s in 1960. The aircraft could be fitted with an optional crop-spraying gear. One converted aircraft was further modified as a single-seat agricultural aircraft, but with little interest in the variant the aircraft was converted back to a Mk. 1. ## Variants - Jackaroo Mk 1 : Production cabin biplane with wooden canopy. - Jackaroo Mk 2 : Single-seat agricultural variant with either a hopper or a 60-gallon tank in place of the two front seats, one conversion. - Jackaroo Mk 3 : Production cabin biplane with metal canopy and provision for brakes

# The Cove Palisades State Park **The Cove Palisades State Park** is a state park in eastern Jefferson County, Oregon, near Culver and Madras in the central part of the state, and is administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. It is located on the waters and surrounding lands of Lake Billy Chinook, an impoundment of the Crooked, Deschutes, and Metolius rivers. ## Visitor opportunities {#visitor_opportunities} The park offers two full-service campgrounds, rental cabins, food and supplies for sale, marina access to Lake Billy Chinook with watercraft rentals, fishing, day use and picnic areas, and hiking trails. The park also offers historical interpretation, which includes the Crooked River Petroglyph in the park. There have also been some star parties that have been held at the state park. ## Lake Billy Chinook {#lake_billy_chinook} Lake Billy Chinook lies in canyons carved by the three rivers into earth held in place by basaltic caprock. Construction of the Round Butte Dam was completed in 1964 across the Deschutes River. Operated by Portland General Electric (PGE), and jointly owned by PGE and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, the dam and lake primarily provide electric generation for thousands of homes throughout the state. The Confederated Tribes named the lake in honor of Billy Chinook, a member of the Wasco tribe who acted as a guide in 1843 and 1844 for John C. Frémont and Kit Carson in the region of the lake. The lake extends beyond the boundaries of The Cove Palisades State Park. Although fish passage facilities were installed at Round Butte Dam, anadromous fish, such as Chinook salmon, have failed to pass the dam. As a result, since the dam\'s completion migratory fish have been blocked from once-abundant spawning grounds on the upper Deschutes River and tributaries such as the Crooked River. ## Research natural area {#research_natural_area} Embraced by the Crooked River and Deschutes River Arms of Lake Billy Chinook, the isolated, 200 acre plateau called \"The Island\" (actually a peninsula, but with the appearance of an island due to its isolation by high, sheer cliffs) was designated a research natural area in 1986. The Island supports one of the last relatively pristine remnants of pre-settlement ecology in the western United States, and was closed to virtually all public access in 1997

A public anti-corruption activist, he is outspoken against perceived corruption in the political or financial sphere. In May 2012, in the aftermath of the electoral defeat of the Radičová cabinet, Lipšic together with Jana Žitňanská and Gabor Grendel, left the KDH and formed a new political party called NOVA (*Nová väčšina -- Dohoda*). He currently serves as its president. Daniel Lipšic has consistently been ranked as one of the most trusted politicians in Slovakia. ## Early life {#early_life} Daniel Lipšic was born on 8 July 1973 in Bratislava into a family of physicians and doctors. Both his parents, along with his twin brother Erik and all of his cousins are medical doctors, and Lipšic grew up aspiring to be a doctor, saying:*\"I always thought I would be a doctor too, since during communism a career in law was restricted. But after the Velvet revolution things changed.\"* ### Education He attended secondary school (*Gymnazium*) at the Grösslingová 18 Upper Secondary School. He enrolled at the Law Faculty at the Comenius University in Bratislava in 1991, graduating in 1996.

# Daniel Lipšic ## Legal career {#legal_career} During his mandatory military service between 1997 and 1998 he served at the District Military Prosecutor\'s Office in Prešov. After his military service, he was employed at the Law Firm Valko & Partners, as an expert in bankruptcy law. In 1999, he was appointed as Head of the Legal Office at the Ministry of Justice by then Minister Jan Carnogursky, where he was tasked with documenting and investigating crimes from the former Czechoslovak communist regime, which contained over 70.0000 individual cases. He was an outspoken proponent of the prosecuting the Slovak politicians responsible for the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, which he called \"the greatest crime in the past 50 years of Slovak history.\" Specifically he targeted former hardline communist leader Vasiľ Biľak, who was accused of signing the official document \"inviting\" soviet forces to invade. Bil\'ak, died in 2014 aged 94, his trial stopped due to lack of witnesses. He was also tasked with authoring laws, enabling the government to effectively combat organized crime, as well as legislation introducing stiffer penalties for violent criminals, including a Three-strikes law system which will send people convicted of three violent crimes to jail for life without parole. Commenting on this, Lipsic stated that some developed western countries had given up trying to re-educate violent criminals, and were concentrating instead on *\"protecting society from serious criminals.\"* In addition, Lipšic authored anti-corruption legislation which gave tougher penalties on graft and outlawed bribery for the first time in Slovakia. On 1 April 2002, Daniel Lipšic resigned from his post as the head of the Legal Office at the Justice Ministry. This was due to a revised State Service Law which took effect that day, banning state bureaucrats below the level of deputy minister from being members of political parties. Lipšic, a member of the ruling coalition Christian Democrats (KDH), chose to remain with the party, and resigned.

# Daniel Lipšic ## Political career {#political_career} While still studying law at the university, he served as the President of the right-wing youth organization Civic Democratic Youth, which was established in 1991. As chairman of the CDY, he was also present at the 6th National Congress of the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH), which took place on 23--24 October 1993 in Ruzomberok. On 1998, he became a member of the party. ### Minister of Justice {#minister_of_justice} In the 2002 Slovak parliamentary election he was placed 6th on the party list and received 42,727 preferential votes (18.01% share ), that placed fourth behind Pavol Hrusovsky, Ján Figel \'and Vladimír Palko. His mandate did not apply because he became a member of the Government as a cabinet minister following the election. From 15 October 2002 he held the post of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice. During his reign, the District Court of Bratislava 1 issued a preliminary measure declaring that the railway strike in February 2003 was illegal and needed to be ended immediately. However, the Constitutional Court later affirmed the right of railway workers to strike. Article 37 of the Slovak Republic\'s Constitution, within the section on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, guarantees citizens the right to freedom of association for their economic and social interests and ensures the right to strike. Continuing anti-communist policies of his predecessor, Lipsic unsuccessfully attempted to introduce a law, banning Judges who had worked under the former communist regime from the judiciary. He also attempted to prosecute members of the judiciary who had ruled in political trials under the communist regime. The plan was unequivocally rejected by Slovakia\'s top judicial authorities, who argued that the law, if passed, would come much too late. In connection with the withdrawal of KDH from the ruling coalition on 7 February 2006, all KDH cabinet ministers resigned. Subsequently, on 8 February he was replaced as of Minister of Justice by Lucia Zitnanska from the SDKU. This political move KDH was associated with disapproval of the draft contract between the Slovak Republic and the Holy See regarding the right to objection of conscience, which concerns the armed forces, health, education and training, legal services and labor relations. In early parliamentary elections, held on 17 June 2006, the KDH became part of the opposition. Lipšic in these elections received the second highest number of preferential votes - 86,536 (45.20%). ### Minister of the Interior {#minister_of_the_interior} After the parliamentary elections in 2010, and the resignation of the Fico Cabinet on 9 July. Lipšic became a member of the cabinet of Iveta Radičová as Minister of the Interior. After the 2012 Slovak parliamentary election which saw the governing coalition fell, Lipšic resigned. While at the Ministry of the Interior, an anonymous source alleged that Lipšic had connections with an Israeli secret agent. This led to \"an outburst of antisemitic and anti-Israeli comments in the media\". It has been considered the first antisemitic attack on an influential politician in the history of the Slovak Republic. ## Personal life {#personal_life} He currently resides in Bratislava with his family. Along with his native Slovak, Lipšic speaks English, German and Russian. ### Family He is married to television presenter Beata Lipšicová (née Oravcová). Together they have sons Alexander, and Peter. He has a twin brother named Erik, who is a specialist in internal medicine and is currently working as a cardiologist in Groningen in the Netherlands. ### Involvement in fatal car accident {#involvement_in_fatal_car_accident} On 19 September 2016, while driving home from work through the Bratislava III neighborhood, his Skoda Superb struck a 72- year old pedestrian crossing the street. The man was transported to the hospital, but he later succumbed to his injuries at University Hospital Bratislava. A test carried out at the place of the accident proved Lipšic was not under the influence of alcohol when driving. Lipšic expressed his regret and offered help to the man\'s family. He confirmed that he was driving the car, saying he was not driving fast. He noticed the man shortly before the incident. Days later Lipsic announced that he would resign his parliamentary seat due to the case being under police investigation, saying \"*\"I would not be able to do my job fully anymore\",* On 23 January 2017, the Bratislava Police confirmed that Lipsic would be charged with unlawful killing following the accident

# Eschenbach (Göppingen) **Eschenbach** is a municipality in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany. ## Geography ### Geographical location {#geographical_location} Eschenbach is located in the valley of the river of the same name, at the foot of the Swabian Jura. The district town Göppingen is 6 kilometers away. ### Overview With an area of 480 ha Eschenbach is one of the smallest villages in the district of Göppingen. Through its location in the area before the Swabian Jura the municipality has however developed from a farming community to a municipality with around 2,200 inhabitants. ### Neighboring communities {#neighboring_communities} Since 1970, the municipality forms together with the neighboring community Heiningen the *Gemeindeverwaltungsverband Voralb*. (Administration Unit Voralb). ### Municipality arrangement {#municipality_arrangement} Eschenbach includes the village Eschenbach, the hamlet Lotenberg (also to community Heiningen) and the homestead Iltishof and the dialed villages Hag and Bürstenhof. ## History ### Early history {#early_history} The probable beginning of settlement for the place is between the 9th and 13th centuries. Eschenbach means ash-trees at a river. The eponymous Eschenbach springs beneath the \"Weisse Mauer\" (white wall) on the Fuchseck mountain. The first written reference does not refer to the place, but to the church on the Lotenberg. In 1228, in a document of the Abbey of St. Gall, a pastor, and thus a church, is mentioned on the Lotenberg. The group of houses on the Lotenberg still conveys the image of a castle building. ### Middle Ages {#middle_ages} Especially Eschenbach is first mentioned in 1379 in a deed of sale of the Counts of Helfenstein. It changed hands of several owners and was finally divided from 1476: two thirds from Iltishausen (Iltishof) and Lotenberg belonged to the barons of Liebenstein, the rest was owned by the monastery of Adelberg and after the Reformation since 1534 by the Duchy of Württemberg. Until 1867 Eschenbach was administered by Adelberg, later by the Oberamt Göppingen. ### 20th century {#th_century} The place was until after the Second World War dominated by agriculture. The place lived mainly from the animals: cattle, horses and sheep, especially because the arable soils were not very productive. An important role played also the fruit growing, particularly encouraged by the pastor Johann Christian Engel, the father of Dr. Theodor Engel. ### Population development {#population_development} The inhabitants of the community: Development 1837-2010. - Date Population - 1837, 508 - 1907, 401 - May 17, 1939 392 - September 13, 1950 643 - May 27, 1970 1,023 - December 31, 1983 1,687 - December 31, 2005 2,232 - March 31, 2010 2,181 ### Space division {#space_division} - 309 ha farmland area - 71 ha forest area - 61 ha building area - 28 ha transportation area - 11 ha other area According to data of the State Statistical Office Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart, as of 2014. ## Politics ### Council The council of Eschenbach has 10 members. The local elections on 25 May 2014 led to the following official results. The council consists of the elected honorary councilors and the mayor as chairman. The mayor is entitled to vote in the municipal council. - BAE Citizen Action Eschenbach: 53.24% = 5 seats - FWV Free Voters Association Eschenbach: 46.76% = 5 seats ### Economy and infrastructure {#economy_and_infrastructure} The *Gewerbepark Göppingen-Voralb* an association of the city Göppingen and the municipalities Eschenbach and Heiningen, has erected the industrial park Göppingen-Voralb with approximately 29 ha. ## Education and culture {#education_and_culture} ### Preschools The kindergarten is located in the Theodor Engel meetinghouse. Since 1992 the civic community has a further kindergarten. Thereby, the municipality is able to offer at any time every three-year-old child a place in a kindergarten in the community.

# The Human Comedy (musical) ***The Human Comedy*** is a 1983 musical with a book and lyrics by William Dumaresq and music by Galt MacDermot. William Saroyan\'s tale originated as a screenplay he had been hired to write and direct for MGM. When the studio objected to its length and an uncompromising Saroyan was pulled from the project, he rewrote the story as a 1943 novel with the same title that was published shortly prior to the film\'s release. ## Production The Off-Broadway production, directed by Wilford Leach, opened on December 28, 1983 at Joseph Papp\'s Public Theater, where it ran for 79 performances. The cast included Stephen Geoffreys as Homer, Bonnie Koloc as Kate, Don Kehr as Marcus, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Bess, Josh Blake as Ulysses, Rex Smith as Spangler, Gordon Connell as Grogan, Leata Galloway as Diana, Joseph Kolinski as Tobey, Caroline Peyton as Mary, and Laurie Franks as Miss Hicks. Like *Hair* and *A Chorus Line* before it, *The Human Comedy* garnered reviews favorable enough to prompt Papp to transfer it a larger, uptown Broadway house. After twenty previews, with the Off-Broadway cast and creative team, it opened on April 5, 1984 at the Royale Theatre, where it ran for 13 performances. Frank Rich\'s critique of the original production had been positive, but *The New York Times* policy prohibited re-reviewing shows unless they were changed substantially, so his earlier comments were overshadowed by those damaging ones made more recently by Clive Barnes, among others. The general consensus was that *The Human Comedy*, with its intimate story staged in a semi-oratorio style with no scenery save for rear projections used to define each scene\'s locale, was not suited for a large venue with a conventional proscenium stage. Following *Dude* and *Via Galactica*, it was MacDermot\'s third critical and commercial failure, and proved to be his last attempt at a Broadway musical. An original cast album was recorded but not released until 1997, when an 86-track, 2-CD set was issued by Original Cast Records. In 1997, the show had a partially staged reading at the York Theatre in New York City as part of the York\'s Musicals In Mufti series. The show was directed by Roger Danforth and featured Heather MacRae as Kate, Richard Roland as Spangler, Diane Sutherland (Fratantoni) as Diana, Alan H. Green as Tobey, Jennifer Rosin as Bess, James Ludwig as Marcus, Joe Hynes as Homer, Traci Lyn Thomas as Mary, Aisha DeHaas as Beautiful Music, Benjamin Stix as Ulysses and Ron Carroll as Grogan. ## Overview The coming-of-age tale focuses on young Homer Macauley, a telegram messenger who is exposed to the sorrows and joys experienced by his family and the residents of his small California town during World War II. Homer\'s mother Kate is struggling to support her children following the death of her husband, his older brother Marcus is in the Army, his teenaged sister Bess daydreams about romance, and his younger brother Ulysses divides his attention between the passing trains and an unrequited desire to know why his father had to die. Other characters include Spangler and Grogan, who run the telegraph office, Spangler\'s girlfriend Diana, Marcus\'s orphaned army buddy Tobey and Marcus\'s sweetheart Mary. Through-composed, *The Human Comedy* is far more an American folk opera like *Porgy and Bess* than it is a traditional book musical. Its score includes elements of 1940s swing, gospel, pop, folk music, and typical show tunes. John Beaufort noted that \"The adapters have provided a generous mix of musical idioms and rhythms: Love songs, jazzy upbeat numbers, a gospel hymn, and a variety of other compositions in the MacDermot manner. The moods range from jubilation to quiet reverie.\" The CurtainUp reviewer of a 2006 regional production wrote: \"MacDermot and Dumaresq\'s sung-through vignettes are, like \'Porgy and Bess\', best defined as an American folk opera\...The absence of dialogue and the opera tag \-- as well as an oratorio style staging (the absence of a musical\'s usual colorful scenery and choreography) no doubt helped to relegate \'The Human Comedy\' to the status of \"worthy flop.\" \" ## Song list {#song_list} Act I - In a Little Town in California - Hi Ya, Kid - We\'re a Little Family - The Assyrians - Noses - You\'re a Little Young for the Job - I Can Carry a Tune - Happy Birthday - Happy Anniversary - I Think the Kid Will Do - Beautiful Music - Cocoanut Cream Pie - When I Am Lost - I Said, Oh No - Daddy Will Not Come Walking Through The Door - The Birds in the Sky - Remember Always to Give - Long Past Sunset - Don\'t Tell Me - The Fourth Telegram - Give Me All the Money - Everything Is Changed - The World Is Full of Loneliness - Hi Ya, Kid (Reprise) Act II - How I Love Your Thingamajig - Everlasting - An Orphan I Am - I\'ll Tell You About My Family - I Wish I Were a Man - Marcus, My Friend - My Sister Bess - I\'ve Known a Lot of Guys - Diana - Dear Brother - The Birds In The Trees/A Lot of Men - Parting - Mr

# Gammelshausen **Gammelshausen** is a town in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. ## History Gammelshausen was purchased by the County of Württemberg in 1321 but then in 1479 passed out of Württemberg\'s control and into that of the House of Zyllnhardt with Dürnau. Gammelshausen returned to Württemberg in 1806, when it was mediatized to the Kingdom of Württemberg and assigned to the district of Göppingen. After World War II, Gammelshausen began a period of urban growth that has since the turn of the millennium two areas to the town\'s southeast established in the 1970s. A redevelopment of the town center began in 2009 and was scheduled to conclude in 2017. ## Geography The municipality (*Gemeinde*) of Gammelshausen is located in the district of Göppingen, in Baden-Württemberg, one of the 16 States of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Gruibingen was first documented in the year 861. In a foundation letter the monastery of Wiesensteig was referred as lying \"in griubingaro marco\". Nevertheless, succeeded none of these manors, to establish a local rule. Gruibingen decreed continue over the high courts, an own measure and an ancient market right. In the 15th century it was even called Freidorf what shows the significance of Gruibingen. During the Reformation, the place became as part Württemberg evangelical. So Gruibingen became a belief boundary between the Protestant and Catholic confession. During the Thirty Years\' War (1618--1648), there was poverty and misery. From the effects of war, pestilence and disease died 131 men. Towards the end of the war in 1647, the village was looted and torched. 130 houses and barns burned down. Already 21 years later there was another fire disaster, which was triggered by a village blacksmith. Seven people died in the flames. The location could not grow back to its original size, and in 1712 it was even said that no road runs through the place. The economic conditions were largely limited to a smallholder agriculture and few craftsmen. Only in the 20th century, economic opportunities were offered outside of agriculture. Since the Second World War Gruibingen developed into a village with good infrastructure, several craft shops and medium-sized enterprises. see also Castle Gruibingen ## Airfield Gruibingen-Nortel {#airfield_gruibingen_nortel} Even before the Second World War was on the district the Gruibingen glider area Gruibingen-Nortel.

# Dynamic Party **Dynamic Party** was a Nigerian political party headed by the mathematician and scholar Chike Obi. It was inaugurated in Ibadan on April 7, 1951. The party embraced Kemalism, and was cautious about the early movement towards self-government. The party was one of the first re-independence parties to publish a well-organized manifesto. In its manifesto, it sought to contest the mad rush towards self-government by the Action Group, embrace cooperation with Europeans and Americans, promote national loyalty and improve communications in Nigerian divisions, starting from Esan, Egbado and Ekiti. Chike Obi summarized his views of Nigerian Kemalism as `{{cquote| Kemalism is a manifestation of what is known . . . as 'Totalitarianism of the left' as opposed to 'totalitarianism of the right', which differs from the former in that the latter believes in force as a permanent way of maintaining order, whereas the former when resorting to force is used only in order to quicken the pace of progress . . . Kemalism is a philosophy which in recognising the vital urgency for a backward country, to introduce western technology into her borders also recognises the necessity for the use of the weapon of total conscription, that is inter alia the necessity for the backward country to introduce into her borders western administration, language, way of life as much of these as is inseparable from western technology, and the suppression of any local pretensions which might be an obstacle to the declared aim of westernisation.}}`{=mediawiki} Some of the party\'s salient points included the recommendation and setting up of three military training schools and an \'institute of guerrilla warfare\'. It also advocated the formation of a West African Republic made up of most of French, British, Spanish, and Portuguese West Africa, a West African \'Monroe Doctrine\', and a defensive alliance with India against South Africa

# Amanieu VII d'Albret **Amanieu VII** (died 1326) was the Lord of Albret from 1298 until his death; the son of Amanieu VI. He was an ally of the English and sat on the King\'s Council during the reigns of Edward I and Edward II of England. As a relative of the Plantagenets and of the sitting pope (Martin IV) and one of the most powerful lords in Gascony, he was the recipient of conspicuous royal largesse. In 1286 Amanieu ended a long private war with Jean Ferrars, the English seneschal of Gascony, in return for 20,000 *livres tournois* from Edward I. His son Bernard Ezi II succeeded him in Albret and on the Council. Amanieu used the French occupation of Aquitaine during the war between Edward I and Philip IV of France from 1294 to 1303 to expand his own authority at the expense of the ducal administration. In 1302 he was amongst the team of plenipotentiaries appointed by Edward I of England to negotiate the Treaty of Paris (1303) that returned Gascony to Edward. Between 1310 and 1324 he continued to increase his independence from the English government in Bordeaux by appealing a successive number of sometimes trivial quarrels before the Parlement of Paris

# WCSN-LD **WCSN-LD** (channel 32) is a low-power television station in Columbus, Ohio, United States. The station is owned by Word Broadcasting Network. ## History WCSN was launched on March 24, 2007, as the Columbus Sports Network (CSN), Central Ohio\'s first and only continuous all-sports television station, broadcasting events, features, highlights and news on professional, collegiate, scholastic and amateur sports teams in the area. The first-ever telecast on CSN was an Arena Football matchup between the Columbus Destroyers and the Chicago Rush; the Destroyers lost to the Rush, 55--47. While under the ownership of United Media Acquisitions and prior to ceasing local original programming, WCSN was carried on cable television systems in the market; Insight Communications had it on Channels 78 and 524, and WOW! had it on channel 97. This carriage was based on the station\'s original incarnation as an all-sports station, and included a channel on Time Warner Cable. CSN planned to broadcast approximately 400 live events each year, including Columbus Motor Speedway, Columbus Crew, Columbus Destroyers (home games), Columbus Clippers (select games), minor Ohio State University sports (including baseball, volleyball, lacrosse, and tennis), college lacrosse and baseball from universities from the OAC and NCAC, high schools from the OHSAA, Canadian Football, and various other events. CSN launched a nightly 30-minute show called *Sports Columbus* on December 21, 2007. It spotlighted local sports highlights, news, and features of the day from Central Ohio. The show was co-anchored by Ray Crawford and Dionne Miller. Sports Columbus ran live at 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, with scheduled rebroadcasts the following day. On June 6, 2008, *The Columbus Dispatch* reported that the production of programming had ended and that the business model was being reviewed. WCSN left the air completely in August 2008; by September 8, 2008, it had returned intermittently with only infomercials. Carriage on cable systems ceased once the Columbus Sports Network ceased operations in 2008. By August 10, 2009, it broadcast only a notice that it had \"video trouble\" and that \"this channel is temporarily off-line due to technical difficulties\". By September 3, 2009, it was off the air. By September 4, 2009, it was broadcasting a color test pattern with its call sign. In 2009 the original owners, United Media Acquisitions, filed for bankruptcy protection and the station was sold to Columbus Television, LLC. Once the transfer was completed, the new owners made an agreement to simulcast the WCPX-LP broadcast of Azteca América. This agreement continued after WCSN made the conversion to digital broadcasting in early 2010. Columbus Television, LLC ended its relationship with WCPX in July 2010. WCSN would eventually convert to digital broadcast and carry four regular subchannels---Mexicanal, Dalmar TV (a Somali language television channel), TV Africa Network (English language Pan-African news, sport and entertainment channel), and Prime TV Network. Effective March 20, 2012, WCSN\'s Mexicanal and Dalmar services was added to WOW\'s channel lineup on channels 103 and 106 respectively. WCPX-LP switched from Azteca America to Mexicanal in 2011, though it is unknown if there is any relation with WCSN. ## Subchannels The station\'s digital signal is multiplexed: Channel Res.

# Opie and Anthony's Traveling Virus Comedy Tour **Opie and Anthony\'s Traveling Virus** was a stand-up comedy tour hosted by American radio personalities Gregg \"Opie\" Hughes and Anthony Cumia that featured a roster of comedians from their radio show, *Opie and Anthony*. There were three editions of the tour between 2006 and 2008; the first consisted of 4 dates, the second had 8 dates, and the third consisted of a single show. ## History By 2006, Hughes and Cumia, plus comedian Jim Norton on third mic, had been hosting *Opie and Anthony* on the uncensored subscription-based satellite radio service XM for over a year, from New York City. In April 2006, following the cancellation of *The David Lee Roth Show*, the pair signed a deal with CBS Radio to simulcast the first half of the show on several of its terrestrial radio stations. Their deal with CBS allowed them to receive the green-light for the tour, ideas for which took shape in the following weeks and artist representative Peter Pappalardo was hired as the tour\'s organiser. Hughes and Cumia originally envisaged a package comedy tour with several comedians that were regular guests on the radio show, plus theatrical elements. Pappalardo tried to incorporate as many suggestions that the hosts and local promoters had come up with, and sold the tour as \"an anything goes type of atmosphere\" while adhering to local laws. Each stop on the tour featured the O&A Village, a series of exhibits and attractions including women giving back rubs while dressed in nurse outfits, booths designed by fans of the show, and a \"petting zoo\" featuring show regulars such as Twitchels and Stalker Patty. *The Boston Globe* described the tour as \"a moving festival more comparable to Lollapalooza or Ozzfest than a typical stand-up event.\" ## Tours ### 2006 The first tour ran for four dates in August and September 2006, and was self-billed as The Comedy Event of 2006. ### 2007 {#section_1} The 2007 tour kicked off with one show in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 14. An additional seven shows were announced for the summer, which started on June 16. ### 2008 {#section_2} In 2008, plans to stage a full tour were cancelled in favor of a single show at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, on August 2, 2008. Two days later, Hughes and Cumia announced on the air that the tour would no longer continue, due to the booing that newcomer Mike Birbiglia received when he appeared on stage. Hughes revealed that Dave Attell and Jimmy Fallon turned down an offer to perform due to the hostile crowds.

# Al-Tro Island Park **Al-Tro Island Park** was an amusement park built in the late 19th century in the village of Menands near the border with Albany, New York; formerly the park was known as Pleasure Island. The island has since been covered with fill and used for Interstate 787. ## History In the 1880s, thousands of visitors jammed Pleasure Island, also known as \"Dreamland.\" In truth, it was not an actual island, but was separated from the mainland by the Erie Canal. By Memorial Day, 1907, Pleasure Island was built up and re-opened as Al-Tro Island Park, named for the two cities it was located between, Albany and Troy. It featured 40-piece orchestra in a dance hall, a roller-skating rink, a roller coaster, a theater with 4,000 seats, its own miniature railroad, a pony track and more than a hundred other attractions. The park even had its own police force consisting of 15 uniformed officers to maintain safety and order. A boardwalk extended the entire length of the island. By the early 1920s, Al-Tro Island Park began to fall out of favor due to changing tastes in leisure. No one knows exactly when it closed or what happened to it. Most agree that the park \"vanished without a trace.\" The Mid-City Amusement Park was constructed as a replacement nearby on Broadway, also in Menands, but it too has since been destroyed

# Schlat **Schlat** is a municipality in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. ## History Schlat changed owners several times during the Middle Ages. Barbara von Schlat, a local noblewoman, sold a third of the town in 1410 to Adelberg Abbey, which already controlled nearby properties donated to it by the County of Württemberg. The other two thirds of the town were inherited by the House of Liebenstein. As a result of the Protestant Reformation in the Holy Roman Empire, Adelberg Abbey was secularized and its holdings seized by the Duchy of Württemberg, which purchased the Liebenstein\'s portion of Schlat in 1789. The portions of Schlat were until 1807 divided between a district based out of the old abbey and Oberamt Göppingen. The Oberamt was reorganized as a Landkreis in 1938 and Schlat remained in its jurisdiction.
