# Methanobacteriales
**Methanobacteriales** is an order of archaeans in the class Methanobacteria. Species within this order differ from other methanogens in that they can use fewer catabolic substrates and have distinct morphological characteristics, lipid compositions, and RNA sequences. Their cell walls are composed of pseudomurein. Most species are Gram-positive with rod-shaped bodies and some can form long filaments. Most of them use formate to reduce carbon dioxide, but those of the genus *Methanosphaera* use hydrogen to reduce methanol to methane.

# Dave Palumbo
**David Christopher Palumbo** (born February 17, 1968) is a retired American bodybuilder. He competed in his first bodybuilding competition in 1990, an NPC national competition in New York City, where he placed 6th place weighing in at 168 lbs. In just 5 years, Palumbo would gain 70 lbs and win the overall at the 1995 NPC Junior Nationals. His best placing in competition came at the 2003 NPC USA Championships where he finished 2nd place in the Super Heavyweight class.
Palumbo is the former Editor-in-Chief of Muscular Development Magazine. Today, Palumbo is the CEO and Founder of RxMuscle.com and owner of Species Nutrition. Palumbo is also contest prep coach for several NPC and IFBB bodybuilding, fitness, and figure competitors. He is known for his low carb approach to preparing his athletes for competition. Palumbo is also the founder of the S.M.A.R.T. personal training certification program.
## Competition history {#competition_history}
Dave Palumbo\'s athletic beginning did not start in bodybuilding. He was a long-distance runner throughout his youth and onto college. At the age of 22, Palumbo began to lift weights and in 6 months of training he competed in his first bodybuilding competition at the 1990 NPC Natural New York City weighing in at 168 lb. where he took 6th place in the middleweight class.
Palumbo would quickly rise in bodybuilding and in 5 years he would win the 1995 NPC Junior USA Championships. At this point Palumbo would embark on a quest to turn professional in the IFBB. From 1995 -- 2004, Palumbo would attempt to turn pro 16 times at qualifying events, but never placed higher than runner-up position at the NPC Nationals and NPC USA Championships.

# Animal husbandry in Himachal Pradesh
**Animal husbandry in Himachal Pradesh** plays a very major role in the development of agricultural sector of Himachal. Indigenous breeds of cows, buffalo and sheep are of very poor quality.\
Numerous schemes for *cattle development*, *cattle health* and *disease resistance* in wood production, poultry development, feed and fodder development, dairy improvement, milk supply schemes and veterinary education has been undertaken in order to improve the livestock in the state. There are many veterinary hospitals, dispensaries and outlying dispensaries in the state to provide veterinary aids and to take measures against various contagious diseases. A number of mobile dispensaries are also in operation.\
Recently, Angora rabbits imported from West Germany were introduced in the state. Now 7 units for their propagation have been set up in Kangra.\
Milk production has also increased. *Milk chilling plants* with a capacity of about 55,000 liters have been set up at about 24 places and departmental milk supply schemes are operational in 6 towns

# Bombings of Heilbronn in World War II
thumb\|360px\|upright=1.2\|Heilbronn in March,1945 During World War II, the German city of Heilbronn was bombed numerous times by the British Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces. The largest air-raid occurred on December 4, 1944, but Heilbronn was targeted several times before and after until the end of World War II. Altogether, an estimated 7,000 inhabitants of the city lost their lives during bombings.
On 12 April 1945, the U.S. military took control of the city after a ten-day battle, ending bombings of the city. In 2015, Heilbronn had a population of 123,000.
## Initial air raids {#initial_air_raids}
The first raid occurred on December 17, 1940. Three high-explosive and 20 incendiary bombs were released upon the city, resulting in the destruction of 20 houses and the damaging of 70 more. Three people were killed, and a further twelve were injured. Two days later, heavy anti-air defence was installed in the city, but was soon replaced by a lighter version, due to military requirements.
### August 1941 - May 1942 {#august_1941___may_1942}
Between August and November 1941, the city was bombed four times. However, the resulting damage was minimal. During the day of one of these raids, individual fighter-bombers had been seen flying close-to and around the city. On May 7, 1942, a raid struck the city center, destroying or damaging approximately 150 houses, and killing seven people.
## 1944
In January and February 1944 Heilbronn suffered a two-week-long attack by the Royal Air Force. These raids continued into April, by when the city had been utterly devastated, and air-raid alarms sounded almost daily. Later in the year, the attacks grew so bad that theater in the city was abolished, and the local police decided to enforce a ban on any decorations in windows that could be potentially flammable. On August 5 air-defense devices and weaponry was reinforced. By the beginning of September, the number of air-raid alerts sounded in the city had risen to 160.
### September
By September 1944, Allied forces were seriously considering a major assault on Heilbronn.
At this time, frequent and near-daily alerts were still occurring in the city, but on September 8, four alarms were triggered due to bombers heading for Nuremberg. The alarms happened from 1:45 am to 2:31 am, 11:34 am to 12:42 pm, 2:38 to 3:48 pm and from 10:30 pm to 11:42 pm.
The following day, September 9, only one alarm sounded. However, in the morning of September 10 approximately 100 airplanes of the 8th US Air Force went over Heilbronn. Even though this mission was centred on an aircraft plant in Günzburg, with a secondary target of a marshalling yard in Ulm, there was close cloud cover that day, but Heilbronn was the secondary target. Over Heilbronn, the sky was cloudless, and the actual assault was visible to the populace. Soon after 11:30 that morning, Allied planes struck at Heilbronn\'s stations and ports and the marshalling yard. Then ensued a bombardment of the city that continued for several hours, causing the death of over 280 people, with an estimated further 400 in need of help due to injury. The raid also caused the loss of over 300 houses. Almost 100 cars were badly damaged or destroyed, many other buildings and stations were rendered irreparable. The planners of this raid called these statistics \"very good results\" afterwards.
The ensuing fires were too much for the local brigade to handle; help had to be called from places such as Gronau, Lauffen am Neckar, Untereisesheim, Schwaigern and Weinsberg, among others. Even with this aid, the extinguishing of the many fires, both in and around Heilbronn, took several days. The city hall burned for three days.
### October
In the late summer and early autumn of 1944, the Allied forces developed Oboe, a radio-beacon based navigational system. However, targets in southern Germany were about 500 to 600 km away from the transmitters, and because radio signals spread in a linear way and do not follow the Earth\'s curvature, aircraft had to be led over the target region at a height of approximately 10,000 metres. This required the use of the light and almost completely wooden Mosquito airplanes. With the establishment of Oboe, and in control of a fleet of six Mosquitoes (directed by Oboe), the Allies staged a strike on the city that commenced at 9:30 pm. The railway facilities were targeted by three of these planes, while the city center was assaulted by two aircraft.
On October 28, the railroad was hit again by five Mosquitoes. Two days later, six aircraft attacked the railroad and the city center. After this, several more attacks caused intense fire. During these raids, at least half a dozen attacks had hit the city, all in October. Despite this, the city remained a target.`{{vague|date=February 2012}}`{=mediawiki}

## December Raid {#december_raid}
On the evening of December 4, 1944, 282 Lancaster bombers of 5 Group and ten Mosquito Pathfinder aircraft flew over the city in loose formation. The night was thickly clouded, this factor altered the approach height of the planes. At 7:18 the first plane flew over, but it was the second plane that dropped 10 bombs with long-term fuses onto the city about one minute later. Immediately after dropping the bombs, this plane began its return flight. At 7:20, flare markers were dropped on the city in order to allow accurate bombing by the rest of the squadron. A \'flashlight bomb\' was dropped, and exploded at 200 metres. After all the flares were released, the area was illuminated as bright as day. This light was clearly distinguishable to the bomber pilots, and they were subsequently ordered to go in and assault.
After the flare markers, the flashlight bombs`{{Clarify|were these flashlights for photography purposes or targeting?|date=March 2009}}`{=mediawiki}, and other such devices used for targeting were released and were functioning effectively, Lancaster PB 251s dropped the first load of high explosives. Approximately 5,800 bombs, dropped from a height of 3,800 metres, hitting the city at 7:29. The attack continued until 9:38, with a further 1,200 tonnes of bombs released upon the city, and 380 devastating the marshalling yard.
Within a period of half an hour, over 6,500 people, including 1,000 children under 10 years of age, lost their lives. The exact number of victims is impossible to determine because many corpses were burned beyond recognition. Due to the number of incendiary bombs that fell on the city, and the number and impact of the bombs, fires burned throughout the night, entering the city was impossible for days.
### Aftermath
Although 62% of the city was destroyed, the damage in relation to the number of bombs and the force of the attack is remarkable for several reasons. Many German cities and towns were already in ruins, or were burnt-out by prior bombardments; the British would have preferred to attack with high explosive bombs in order to maximise the damage caused. The entire old section of the town was destroyed. Donations to the city were instrumental to the city\'s repairs and victim aid.
During the actual attack, German defenses could do little. Two anti-aircraft positions at the Neckar and 14 German Junkers Ju 88 night fighters fought against the British bombers. The RAF lost eleven aircraft. Since the bombing was conducted on a Monday evening, much of the population of Heilbronn was positioned in or around the city center, but at the first signs of attack, many fled to a high bomb shelter (the General Wever tower), and two other low shelters (in the industrial area and at *Kaiser Friedrich-Platz*). Many also fled to an air raid shelter nearby. However, by 8:00 pm the city centre was engulfed in flames, and anyone inside these buildings either burned to death or were asphyxiated. Many people who attempted to leave the city were also burnt on the roads. In the end, the air raid shelter collapsed, anyone left inside was killed.
To make matters worse, the urban hospital was left in ruins, so it was nearly impossible to treat the wounded. A great many people were able to take refuge in the emergency military hospital, or a converted mental hospital located in nearby Weinsberg.
After the fires were under control, rescue work and clearing up of the town began and help was sought from the surrounding area. On the night of 5 December the number of dead was stated to be approximately 4,000 with another 3,000 injured.
### Burials
A task force was chosen to find the dead and to rescue any bodies. The dead that were found were brought to the city cemetery. Even then, there were not enough coffins for all the dead, Ulm and other cities supplied a total of 1,000 caskets. When it was found that the cemetery, as well as other places, could not provide enough space to adequately lay to rest the deceased, the resolution was that an honor cemetery (mass grave) be built at the edge of the forest near the valley of the Köpfer Creek. The work on this project began on 6 December, while the dead were brought on carriages to the Köpfer Valley.\
On 8 December, the burnt-out city center and the collapsed air raid shelter were accessed by salvage teams, and more dead were returned to the families for burial. Salvage work continued for over three weeks, into the Christmas of 1944. Many dead could not be retrieved, particularly in heavily damaged road courses. Many would simply have been impossible to locate or bring out, whether from the air-raid shelter, or the ruins of the city center; it is assumed that there are many human remains still in the soil.

# Bombings of Heilbronn in World War II
## Attacks until the end of the war {#attacks_until_the_end_of_the_war}
Up to the end of the war, several raids, while much less powerful or as damaging as the attack in December 1944, were centered on Heilbronn. These attacks were relatively minor and were more focused on other parts of southern Germany, with Heilbronn receiving much less attention than before.
On 12 April 1945, US forces occupied the city, after a ten-day battle over the Neckar crossings.
At the war\'s start, Heilbronn had almost 14,500 buildings. During the war 5,100 buildings were destroyed and another 3,800 badly damaged. Heilbronn\'s population shrank to 46,350.
## Reconstruction and recovery {#reconstruction_and_recovery}
After the war had ended, Emil Beutinger, a former pre-Nazi era mayor, re-entered office and took responsibility for the enormous task of reconstruction and repair of the city. This task was continued and completed by his successors in office, Paul Metz and Paul Meyle. Reconstruction milestones included the rededication of the historic city hall in 1953 and the reopening of the community centre.
Starting in 1951, US forces were permanently stationed in the city. The Americans added several of their own buildings. They also used barracks built before World War II.
## Present day Heilbronn {#present_day_heilbronn}
Today, Heilbronn thrives, but while the city itself has all but recovered, the memory of the attacks and all who died as a result lives on. It now has approximately 120,000 residents, and is currently the 6th largest city in Baden-Württemberg, at almost 100 square kilometers in area. Heilbronn is also known as the \"major economic centre\" of the Heilbronn-Franken region, an area that encompasses almost all of the Northeast section of Baden-Württemberg.
## Memorials
The first memorial commemoration of those who died took place on 26 August 1945. Since then, an annual memorial service has been held, and on December 4, many people come to the honor cemetery to reflect on the dead. The destruction and subsequent reconstruction has reshaped the landscape, its effects are still visible today. The unsalvageable rubble from the attacks has been dumped into the Neckar River and Böckinger Lake

## DNA transfer {#dna_transfer}
Exposure of *Sulfolobus solfataricus* to the DNA damaging agents UV-irradiation, bleomycin or mitomycin C induces cellular aggregation. Other physical stressors, such as pH or temperature shift, do not induce aggregation, suggesting that induction of aggregation is caused specifically by DNA damage. Ajon et al. showed that UV-induced cellular aggregation mediates chromosomal marker exchange with high frequency. Recombination rates exceeded those of uninduced cultures by up to three orders of magnitude. Frols et al. and Ajon et al. hypothesized that the UV-inducible DNA transfer process and subsequent homologous recombinational repair represents an important mechanism to maintain chromosome integrity. This response may be a primitive form of sexual interaction, similar to the more well-studied bacterial transformation that is also associated with DNA transfer between cells leading to homologous recombinational repair of DNA damage. In another related species, *Sulfolobus acidocaldarius*, UV-irradiation also increases the frequency of recombination due to genetic exchange.
### The *ups* operon {#the_ups_operon}
The *ups* (UV-induced pilus) operon of *Sulfolobus* species is highly induced by UV irradiation. The pili encoded by this operon are employed in promoting cellular aggregation, which is necessary for subsequent DNA exchange between cells, resulting in homologous recombination.
A study of the *Sulfolobales acidocaldarius ups* operon showed that one of the genes downstream of the operon, *saci-1497*, encodes an endonuclease III that nicks UV-damaged DNA; and another gene of the operon, *saci-1500*, encodes a RecQ-like helicase that is able to unwind homologous recombination intermediates such as Holliday junctions. It was proposed that Saci-1497 and Saci-1500 function in an homologous recombination-based DNA repair mechanism that uses transferred DNA as a template. Thus it is thought that the *ups* system in combination with homologous recombination provide a DNA damage response which rescues *Sulfolobales* from DNA damaging threats

# Institute of Culture
**Institute of Culture** was an institution of vocational education established in the Soviet Union and still existing in some post-Soviet states, aimed at training of workers in various areas of culture and organization of leisure activities.
## History
The Soviet establishment paid considerable attention to planning of the organization of the activities of Soviet people in their spare time, to combat hard drinking, hooliganism and other crime, especially among younger generation. The phrase \"cultural leisure\" (культурный досуг) was among the Soviet cliches: supposedly the proper organization of the cultural leisure of the Soviet people was the major tool in combatting the \"vestiges of capitalism\" and the molding of the \"New Soviet Man\".
Institutes of Culture were the institutions to train the professional \"organizers of the cultural leisure\", such as heads of hobby groups, of dance schools and collectives, folk dance and music ensembles, managers of various sections of Palaces of Culture, managers of \"culture-educational work\" in various schools, Young Pioneer camps, etc

# Dean Keates
**Dean Scott Keates** (born 30 June 1978) is an English professional football manager and former player who was most recently the manager of Wrexham.
During his playing career, Keates played as a midfielder, making his professional debut for hometown club Walsall in 1996. He won promotion six times with three of his clubs -- three times with Walsall in 1999, 2001 and 2007, once with Hull City in 2004 and twice with Peterborough United in 2008 and 2009.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
### Walsall
Keates came through the ranks at his hometown club Walsall, making his professional debut as a substitute in a 1--0 loss to Plymouth Argyle on 12 October 1996. He made his first start for the club later that season on 25 January 1997, playing the full game in a 3--1 victory over Notts County. He became a first team regular in the next season as, at the age of 19, he played in 48 games in all competitions. He scored his first goal for the club in a 1--0 win away at Millwall on 3 December 1997. Keates was a key member of the *Saddlers*\' midfield in a successful 1998--99 season, playing in all but three games as Walsall won promotion to First Division as runners-up, ahead of Manchester City. Relegation followed the next year as Walsall struggled to adapt to life at a higher level, though the club immediately won promotion back to Division One with a play-off final victory over Reading at the end of the 2000--01 campaign. Keates played for the full 120 minutes of the game, which ended in a 3--2 win for Walsall after extra time. He played 15 games in the 2001--02 season as Walsall survived in the division, before he was released in July 2002.
### Hull City {#hull_city}
Keates moved to Third Division club Hull City, initially on a non-contract basis, in August 2002. By the end of September, Keates\' displays had earned him a two-year contract, awarded to him by then-Hull manager Jan Mølby. Despite new chairman Adam Pearson\'s money being pumped into the club on new players, Keates endured a lukewarm season at Hull, playing in 35 league games as they finished mid-table. The next season, 2003--04, was more fruitful with Hull achieving promotion to the newly named League One as runners-up. Keates, however, played no part in the campaign after December 2003 -- a knee injury that kept him sidelined proved his undoing, as he could not force his way back into the team and subsequently left the club before the end of the season.
### Kidderminster Harriers {#kidderminster_harriers}
On 10 February 2004, Third Division club Kidderminster Harriers, now managed by former Hull boss Jan Mølby, signed Keates on a free transfer. He played in eight games as the *Harriers* avoided relegation back to the Football Conference. Though he played 41 games the next season, Keates and Kidderminster were relegated. He left the club at the end of the season, his contract having expired.
### Lincoln City {#lincoln_city}
On 1 July 2005, Keates signed for League Two club Lincoln City on a one-year deal. He made his Lincoln debut in a 2--1 defeat to Notts County on 13 August 2005 and scored his first goal for the club in a 1--1 draw with Rushden & Diamonds later that month. He went on to play 24 games and score four goals for the *Imps*.
### Return to Walsall {#return_to_walsall}
Keates re-joined former club Walsall on a free transfer on transfer deadline day in January 2006, after his Lincoln contract was cancelled by mutual consent. It was initially an unhappy return for Keates as Walsall were relegated to League Two at the end of the season. Richard Money was appointed as the *Saddlers*\' new manager in May 2006, and under him, Keates was appointed captain. He played a key role in Walsall\'s promotion as champions back to League One in the 2006--07 season, scoring a career best 13 goals. Keates was named in the PFA League Two Team of the Year for the 2006--07 season, as well as being named Walsall\'s Player of the Season.
### Peterborough United {#peterborough_united}

## Playing career {#playing_career}
### Wrexham
Keates signed for Conference Premier club Wrexham two days after being released by Wycombe. He was named captain for the season, and scored his first goal four games into the season with a 30-yard volley against former club Kidderminster Harriers. In his first season for the club, Keates lead the team to a play-off semi-final against Luton Town but they lost the tie 5--1 on aggregate. In the 2011--12 season Keates played in some major matches, including the FA Cup 3rd round match at Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion. A draw at Brighton\'s Falmer Stadium meant a replay was to be played at The Racecourse which Wrexham lost 4--5 on penalties, the only missed penalty being the first taken by Keates. There was also déjà vu at the end of the season, as Wrexham fell to another play-off semi-final defeat to Luton Town. Despite the disappointment, Keates signed a new one-year deal at the club at the end of the season. The 2012--13 season was disappointing one in the league as Wrexham missed out on a place in the play-offs, finishing in 10th place. The season was still to end with glory for the *Dragons*, however, as they reached the 2013 FA Trophy Final and beat Grimsby Town on penalties at Wembley Stadium. After becoming a fans\' favourite during his time at the Racecourse, by making 180 appearances in total for the club as captain, he was released in May 2015.
### Rhyl
Following his release by Wrexham, Keates joined the coaching staff at the groundbreaking Glyndŵr Wrexham Football Academy. He joined in order to develop his coaching skills and complete his sports coaching degree at the university. Keates refused to completely hang up his boots, however, and also signed part-time with Welsh Premier League club Rhyl.
### Rushall Olympic {#rushall_olympic}
Keates returned to his roots by signing for Walsall-based Northern Premier League side Rushall Olympic in July 2016. He made seven appearances in the league and two in the FA Cup in a short spell for *The Pics* before leaving the club to take over as Wrexham manager.
## Management career {#management_career}
### Wrexham {#wrexham_1}
Keates was appointed as Wrexham\'s new permanent manager on 25 October 2016 after a brief interim spell in charge after the sacking of Gary Mills. With just nine games of the 2017--18 National League season remaining, Keates left Wrexham for Walsall Subsequently, Wrexham failed to make the National League play-offs that season.
### Walsall {#walsall_1}
On 16 March 2018, Keates re-joined hometown club Walsall for a third time, this time as first-team manager. On 6 April 2019, Keates was dismissed as Walsall manager following a 3--1 home defeat to Oxford United. This followed winning just three, drawing three and losing 14 of Keates\' last 20 games as manager. The following month Walsall were relegated to League Two.
### Return to Wrexham {#return_to_wrexham}
Keates was re-appointed as Wrexham\'s new permanent manager on 6 October 2019 after the sacking of Bryan Hughes. Keates took over with Wrexham in 20th position, one place above the relegation places. On 1 December 2019 the Wrexham A.F.C. board publicly apologised to supporters for poor performances after crisis talks with Keates. This was immediately following a defeat against the then bottom-of-the-table side Ebbsfleet United F.C. Wrexham A.F.C. reached the lowest league position in their 155-year history

# Callistocypraea leucodon
***Callistocypraea leucodon***, common name the **white-toothed cowry**, is a rare cowry, a species of sea snail, or marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.
This species can be found from the Philippines and New Guinea to the Indian Ocean.
## History
Until the late 1960s, this species was known from only two specimens: one in the National Museum of London, England, and one in the Harvard University Museum of Comparative Zoology. In the late 1960s and early 1970s the third and fourth specimens were found.
By the 1980s, they were being found with regular frequency, and were available on the market for about \$5000. By 2000, they were \"common\" enough to be available for about \$1500 in \"gem\" condition, and less than \$1000 for lower quality specimens.
## Description
The color of the shell of the white-toothed cowry varies from a chocolate-brown to butterscotch with whitish spots of varying size and degrees of contrast. The dorsal mantle stripe is very distinctive in this species.
The living animal has a mottled (blackish-brown and light tan) mantle with short and long colorless papillae, a blackish siphon and tan foot. A number of subspecies and forms have been described including: *C. leucodon leucodon* (pyriform nominate); *angioyna* (slight tooth differences); *tenuidon* (smaller, heavily spotted and rounder); and *escotoi* (small, dark and very round)

# Clarksdale Municipal School District
The **Clarksdale Municipal School District** (**CMSD**) is a public school district based in Clarksdale, Mississippi, United States.
## History
Around the time of racial integration, circa the 1960s, the district arranged attendance boundaries of elementary schools so de facto segregation would occur. There had been plans to build a new consolidated Clarksdale-Coahoma County High School to serve all children in Coahoma County, plans were abandoned, even though the building was already constructed, because the officials wanted to maintain segregation in a de facto manner.
## Performance
In 2019, \"the district remains classified as low performing, bouncing between D and F every year since 2013. \...In the 2017-2018 school year, 19% of the district\'s teachers were not certified and -- perhaps consequently -- the district received an F rating.\" The district \"has trouble retaining highly qualified educators.\"

# Zahara de los Atunes
**Zahara de los Atunes** is a village on the Costa de la Luz of Spain in the province of Cádiz and the autonomous region of Andalusia. It is noted for its excellent beaches, an outdoor cinema, and la Iglesia Del Carmen church where, curiously, tuna (caught in Almadraba traps) were butchered and salted. Also in the town are excellent facilities including a variety of restaurants, cafes and hotels.
The village is also widely regarded in Spanish music circles thanks to a tradition of live music being played throughout the summer in its \'chiringuitos\', or beach bars. Live music has been an important characteristic of Zahara de los Atunes, and the summer months still see a wide variety of popular Spanish artists performing in its beach bars amongst the sand-dunes.
It is located 73 kilometers south of the provincial capital, Cadiz or 177 miles south of Seville and 40 miles west of Gibraltar. The village is bordered to the south by the municipality of Tarifa and to the north by Barbate.
## Etymology
Arnald Steiger, author of a Spanish work entitled \"Contribution to the phonetics of Spanish-Arabic and Arabic expressions in the Iberian Romanesque and Sicilian language\" says that the name comes from the Arabic which is also documented in ancient Portuguese sáfaro, meaning rough, barren or rocky ground, which in old Spanish is çafara.
Wilhelm Giese\' documents confirm this etymology and adds that in Andalusian Arabic the meaning is barren desert (as is the ancient Portuguese form derived from it, would tend to confirm). In Alpujarra, in the municipality of Trevélez, the adjective for bush or scrub is \'zahareña and in Granada, one of the roughest routes to Sierra Nevada bears the name \'Zahareña\'.
## History
The roots of the settlement date back to the time of the Phoenicians, although until the sixteenth century it was simply a fishing village specialized in trapping tuna (as its name suggests) as one of the most important tuna traps of Andalucia were here. Tuna trapping is a traditional art practiced since at least the Roman rule.
The earliest document which the name of Zahara is found is probably the treaty of accommodation between Vejer and Tarifa dated 1444 AD. The settlement was established following the granting of a licence to extract tuna granted to Guzman el Bueno. This privilege still belongs to his descendants, the Dukes of Medina Sidonia, who own the tuna-trap of Zahara.
Following the granting of this licence, in the first half of the fifteenth century, the family built the Castle of Zahara de los Atunes and Palace of Jadraza. The Palace served three functions: as a fortified castle to protect against Barbary pirates, a residential palace during the Tuna Season and a processing plant to deal with the tuna.
In the early sixteenth century, due to good tuna harvests, Zahara began to be permanently populated by merchants, soldiers and tuna fishermen, who cut \'poached\' fish in the privacy of the church.

# Zahara de los Atunes
## Physical geography {#physical_geography}
To the south of the Province of Cádiz and located on a plain by the sea, Zahara de los Atunes is surrounded by a series of hills belonging to the Sierra del Retín and the Sierra de la Plata. The locality limits to the south with the municipality of Tarifa, and to the north with Barbate.
The climate of Zahara is the oceanic Mediterranean of the Atlantic coast. This is characterized by mild winters, whose temperatures are always above 10º, and mild summers, which average temperatures are around 25º. Only in exceptional moments have they exceeded 40º of maximum temperature.
The presence of the Atlantic Ocean and the confluence of maritime and continental air masses, propitiate an increase in the annual volume of precipitations, which oscillate between 500 and 600 mm annually. It is also remarkable the high insolation, being able to overcome the 3000 annual hours of sun. Due to its location near the Strait of Gibraltar, the impact of winds and storms are frequent, between the months of autumn to spring dominate the winds with SE component and during the summer the winds with component S or SW.
The zahareño coastline, of about 1600 meters, extends from Zahara to Cabo de Plata10 (Tarifa). It is one of the stretches with the greatest free length of the urban pressure of the Andalusian coasts, due to the occupation of part of the coastal strip by the environmental protections and the incidence of the strong east winds, which finally, have been limiting factors to the developing. The sea water in this area is characterized by being a mass of water of marked oligotrophy, high transparency, well oxygenated and with efficient mixing phenomena

# University of California police departments
The **police departments of the University of California system** are charged with providing law enforcement to each of the system\'s campuses.
## History
The University of California was established in 1868, and moved its first campus to Berkeley in 1873. The San Francisco and Los Angeles campuses followed in 1873 and 1919, respectively. The original UCPD department at Berkeley was founded after World War II. In September 1947, the Regents of the University of California established UCPD, as a state law-enforcement agency.
## Authority and jurisdiction {#authority_and_jurisdiction}
The UCPD is one of several police agencies in California having a statewide jurisdiction and authority (other examples include the California Highway Patrol, the California State University Police Department, and the California Department of Fish and Game). UCPD officers, like most California police officers, are empowered by section 830.2(b) of the California Penal Code, giving them authority as duly sworn peace officers throughout the state of California. As specified by Section 92600 of the California Education Code, their primary jurisdiction extends to the campuses and properties owned by the Regents of the University of California, as well as lands within a one-mile (1.6 km) radius of those campuses.
## Organization
Each of the ten University of California system\'s campuses possesses its own police department led by its own chief of police. There is no single \"chief of the UCPD\". One chief is selected`{{by whom|date=June 2024}}`{=mediawiki} as the departments\' central coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for compiling crime statistics from each campus, as required by the Clery Act, and for ensuring`{{how|date=June 2024}}`{=mediawiki} that the various departments are operating within the UCPD\'s mission.`{{vague|date=June 2024}}`{=mediawiki} However, each independent campus department\'s chain of command flows from the University of California Regents through the respective campus chancellor. The coordinator does not dictate the day-to-day operations of a department, and each department sets its own Standard Operating Policies.
Still,`{{weasel inline|date=June 2024}}`{=mediawiki} the UCPD is more coordinated than this organization would suggest. The departments share a central mission and philosophy, including that of community oriented policing. The departments maintain communication with each other,`{{vague|date=June 2024}}`{=mediawiki} frequently call upon each other for mutual aid, and share a standard uniform, duty gear, and radio system. Since October 1989, UCPD officers wear LAPD-style dark blue uniforms with departmental patches; their previous uniforms were California Highway Patrol-style tan. The badge is a gold seven-point star with a colored California state seal in the center, a common badge style used by various other state agencies.
Almost all of the departments have a Community Service Officer (CSO) program. CSOs are non-sworn student employees that perform various tasks for the department. Although their job description varies slightly from department to department, most utilize CSOs to perform night escorts, building checks, and general citizen assistance. Because CSOs are not sworn police officers, their main purpose is to act as additional \"eyes and ears\" of the department.
All of the ten departments use tasers: San Francisco, Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Irvine, Riverside, Davis, Santa Cruz, and Merced.
### Specialized divisions {#specialized_divisions}

### Berkeley
The original University of California Police Department started on the Berkeley campus after the First World War. The very first security employees were three watchmen who wore full-length street carmen\'s coats. They each carried keys, a sidearm, and a flashlight as well as a switch to chase errant dogs from the Greek Theater stage during weekend concerts. In 1925, Captain Walter J. Lee was appointed to lead the department, which he did for the next thirty plus years. Captain Lee is given credit`{{By whom|date=March 2013}}`{=mediawiki} for the eventual growth and efficiency of the police department.
In 1947, the Regents established the **University of California Police Department** in its own right as a fully constituted police agency with authority based on Sections 20221 and 20222 of the State Education Code. By 1959, UC Berkeley Police consisted of about twenty-two sworn personnel.
Captain Lee was succeeded by Captain W. W. Wadman. Captain Wadman was the first university staff member in the country who was selected to attend the FBI National Academy. Campus police duties during his tenure included patrolling the campus, enforcing traffic regulations and controlling traffic, investigating reports and complaints, conducting escorts, and policing an assortment of events. Officers usually walked their beats and rarely used cars.
The only communications between dispatchers and officers in the field were staggered hourly call-ins and, at night, the use of the light on top of the Campanile, a regional landmark used to summon officers in emergencies.
In 1959, the state established the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) to develop minimum standards and requirements for all police officers in the state, thus leading to the development of a fully professional police force.
In the fall of 1964, the Free Speech Movement began in Berkeley, a phenomenon which spread to many other college campuses in the following years. In December 1964, the police arrested 774 people in the Sproul Hall Sit-in, the largest mass arrest undertaken in the country up to that time. After the Free Speech Movement, there were seven years of frequent, and sometimes violent demonstrations, including draft protests, strikes, bombings of the ROTC building and PG&E Towers, arsons, and street battles.
One of the most notable on-going protests has been about a piece of university property called People\'s Park. People\'s Park history is long and appears to be never ending. The University purchased the land in 1967 to build dormitories, but were prevented from building due to protests. Since that time, all efforts to develop the land have continued to be met with resistance from community activists.
On May 1, 1969, William P. Beall, the retired chief of the Berkeley Police Department, became the chief at UC Berkeley. In addition to his duties at Berkeley, Chief Beall became the first university-wide coordinator of the nine-campus police department system. Chief Beall oversaw the instituting and managing uniform system-wide policies governing recruiting, training, personnel, and performance standards. The nine campus police departments continue to work together closely. The chiefs meet every three months at one of the campuses.
Chief Beall was succeeded by Chief Derry Bowles. Chief Bowles had been the chief of the UC Police Department on the Santa Barbara campus. Chief Bowles led the department through the early 1980s, a time that included massive sit-ins and demonstrations surrounding the university\'s investments in South Africa.
In 1990, Victoria L. Harrison was selected as chief of police. She was the first female police chief in the UC system, and the first in Alameda County. She came to the Berkeley campus as a lieutenant, having served the first part of her career on the Santa Barbara campus. Chief Harrison served for 19 years. She led the department through extensive program changes and capital improvements. She retired as an emeritus employee and received the Berkeley Citation. On August 1, 2009, Mitchell J. Celaya was sworn in as chief. He was the first UC Berkeley chief to have started his career with UCPD as a police officer at Berkeley, and was the first Latino UC police chief. He worked many assignments as he promoted through the ranks and served as assistant chief for Chief Harrison. He retired December 30, 2012. Margo Bennett, a Captain in the department, served as the acting chief until she was appointed to the position in April 2013.
### Davis
The **University of California, Davis Police Department** is located in the campus Fire and Police Building at 625 Kleiber Hall Drive.
The department is chiefly responsible for police activities on the school\'s campus and the medical center in Sacramento. The chief of the department is Joseph A. Farrow. The department\'s officers are armed. Equipment available to them includes handguns, paintball guns used to fire riot-control agents and cans of pepper spray.
The department includes a number of teams and divisions. The Support Services Division, Investigations Division, Training Division, Patrol Division, 9-1-1 Communications Center, Property and Evidence Division, Lost and Found Division, Professional Standards Division and a Security Division. All of these are based at the department\'s police station at Kleiber Hall Drive and Hutchison Drive.
UCPD utilizes non-sworn student employees in the Aggie Host Security Officer program. These students operate the Safe Ride transportation service, provide event security, and perform security patrols, either on vehicle or on foot.
In August 2017, the new Chief of Police, Joseph A. \"Joe\" Farrow, was sworn in. Farrow served as the commissioner of the California Highway Patrol from 2008 until his retirement in July 2017.

# Optimal matching
**Optimal matching** is a sequence analysis method used in social science, to assess the dissimilarity of ordered arrays of tokens that usually represent a time-ordered sequence of socio-economic states two individuals have experienced. Once such distances have been calculated for a set of observations (e.g. individuals in a cohort) classical tools (such as cluster analysis) can be used. The method was tailored to social sciences from a technique originally introduced to study molecular biology (protein or genetic) sequences (see sequence alignment). Optimal matching uses the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm.
## Algorithm
Let $S = (s_1, s_2, s_3, \ldots s_T)$ be a sequence of states $s_i$ belonging to a finite set of possible states. Let us denote ${\mathbf S}$ the sequence space, i.e. the set of all possible sequences of states.
Optimal matching algorithms work by defining simple operator algebras that manipulate sequences, i.e. a set of operators $a_i: {\mathbf S} \rightarrow {\mathbf S}$. In the most simple approach, a set composed of only three basic operations to transform sequences is used:
- one state $s$ is inserted in the sequence $a^{\rm Ins}_{s'} (s_1, s_2, s_3, \ldots s_T) = (s_1, s_2, s_3, \ldots, s', \ldots s_T)$
- one state is deleted from the sequence $a^{\rm Del}_{s_2} (s_1, s_2, s_3, \ldots s_T) = (s_1, s_3, \ldots s_T)$ and
- a state $s_1$ is replaced (substituted) by state $s'_1$, $a^{\rm Sub}_{s_1,s'_1} (s_1, s_2, s_3, \ldots s_T) = (s'_1, s_2, s_3, \ldots s_T)$.
Imagine now that a *cost* $c(a_i) \in {\mathbf R}^+_0$ is associated to each operator. Given two sequences $S_1$ and $S_2$, the idea is to measure the *cost* of obtaining $S_2$ from $S_1$ using operators from the algebra. Let $A={a_1, a_2, \ldots a_n}$ be a sequence of operators such that the application of all the operators of this sequence $A$ to the first sequence $S_1$ gives the second sequence $S_2$: $S_2 = a_1 \circ a_2 \circ \ldots \circ a_{n} (S_1)$ where $a_1 \circ a_2$ denotes the compound operator. To this set we associate the cost $c(A) = \sum_{i=1}^n c(a_i)$, that represents the total cost of the transformation. One should consider at this point that there might exist different such sequences $A$ that transform $S_1$ into $S_2$; a reasonable choice is to select the cheapest of such sequences. We thus call distance\
$d(S_1,S_2)= \min_A \left \{ c(A)~{\rm such~that}~S_2 = A (S_1) \right \}$\
that is, the cost of the least expensive set of transformations that turn $S_1$ into $S_2$. Notice that $d(S_1,S_2)$ is by definition nonnegative since it is the sum of positive costs, and trivially $d(S_1,S_2)=0$ if and only if $S_1=S_2$, that is there is no cost. The distance function is symmetric if insertion and deletion costs are equal $c(a^{\rm Ins}) = c(a^{\rm Del})$; the term *indel* cost usually refers to the common cost of insertion and deletion.
Considering a set composed of only the three basic operations described above, this proximity measure satisfies the triangular inequality. Transitivity however, depends on the definition of the set of elementary operations.
## Criticism
Although optimal matching techniques are widely used in sociology and demography, such techniques also have their flaws. As was pointed out by several authors (for example L. L. Wu), the main problem in the application of optimal matching is to appropriately define the costs $c(a_i)$.

# G-network
In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a **G-network** (**generalized queueing network**, often called a **Gelenbe network**) is an open network of G-queues first introduced by Erol Gelenbe as a model for queueing systems with specific control functions, such as traffic re-routing or traffic destruction, as well as a model for neural networks. A G-queue is a network of queues with several types of novel and useful customers:
- *positive* customers, which arrive from other queues or arrive externally as Poisson arrivals, and obey standard service and routing disciplines as in conventional network models,
- *negative* customers, which arrive from another queue, or which arrive externally as Poisson arrivals, and remove (or \'kill\') customers in a non-empty queue, representing the need to remove traffic when the network is congested, including the removal of \"batches\" of customers
- \"triggers\", which arrive from other queues or from outside the network, and which displace customers and move them to other queues
A product-form solution superficially similar in form to Jackson\'s theorem, but which requires the solution of a system of non-linear equations for the traffic flows, exists for the stationary distribution of G-networks while the traffic equations of a G-network are in fact surprisingly non-linear, and the model does not obey partial balance. This broke previous assumptions that partial balance was a necessary condition for a product-form solution. A powerful property of G-networks is that they are universal approximators for continuous and bounded functions, so that they can be used to approximate quite general input-output behaviours.
## Definition
A network of *m* interconnected queues is a *G-network* if
1. each queue has one server, who serves at rate *μ~i~*,
2. external arrivals of positive customers or of triggers or resets form Poisson processes of rate $\scriptstyle{\Lambda_i}$ for positive customers, while triggers and resets, including negative customers, form a Poisson process of rate $\scriptstyle{\lambda_i}$,
3. on completing service a customer moves from queue *i* to queue *j* as a positive customer with probability $\scriptstyle{p_{ij}^{+}}$, as a trigger or reset with probability $\scriptstyle{p_{ij}^{-}}$ and departs the network with probability $\scriptstyle{d_i}$,
4. on arrival to a queue, a positive customer acts as usual and increases the queue length by 1,
5. on arrival to a queue, the negative customer reduces the length of the queue by some random number (if there is at least one positive customer present at the queue), while a trigger moves a customer probabilistically to another queue and a reset sets the state of the queue to its steady-state if the queue is empty when the reset arrives. All triggers, negative customers and resets disappear after they have taken their action, so that they are in fact \"control\" signals in the network,
- note that normal customers leaving a queue can become triggers or resets and negative customers when they visit the next queue.
A queue in such a network is known as a **G-queue**.
## Stationary distribution {#stationary_distribution}
Define the utilization at each node,
$$\rho_i = \frac{\lambda^+_i}{\mu_i + \lambda^-_i}$$
where the $\scriptstyle{\lambda^+_i, \lambda^-_i}$ for $\scriptstyle{i=1,\ldots,m}$ satisfy
Then writing (*n*~1~, \... ,*n*~m~) for the state of the network (with queue length *n*~*i*~ at node *i*), if a unique non-negative solution $\scriptstyle{(\lambda^+_i,\lambda^-_i)}$ exists to the above equations (`{{EquationNote|1}}`{=mediawiki}) and (`{{EquationNote|2}}`{=mediawiki}) such that *ρ*~*i*~ for all *i* then the stationary probability distribution π exists and is given by
$$\pi(n_1,n_2,\ldots,n_m) = \prod_{i=1}^m (1 - \rho_i)\rho_i^{n_i}.$$
### Proof
It is sufficient to show $\pi$ satisfies the global balance equations which, quite differently from Jackson networks are non-linear. We note that the model also allows for multiple classes.
G-networks have been used in a wide range of applications, including to represent Gene Regulatory Networks, the mix of control and payload in packet networks, neural networks, and the representation of colour images and medical images such as Magnetic Resonance Images.
## Response time distribution {#response_time_distribution}
The response time is the length of time a customer spends in the system. The response time distribution for a single G-queue is known where customers are served using a FCFS discipline at rate *μ*, with positive arrivals at rate *λ*^+^ and negative arrivals at rate *λ*^−^ which kill customers from the end of the queue. The Laplace transform of response time distribution in this situation is
$$W^\ast(s) = \frac{\mu(1-\rho)}{\lambda^+}\frac{s+\lambda+\mu(1-\rho)-\sqrt{[s+\lambda+\mu(1-\rho)]^2-4\lambda^+\lambda^-}}{\lambda^--\lambda^+-\mu(1-\rho)-s+\sqrt{[s+\lambda+\mu(1-\rho)]^2-4\lambda^+\lambda^-}}$$ where *λ* = *λ*^+^ + *λ*^−^ and *ρ* = *λ*^+^/(*λ*^−^ + *μ*), requiring *ρ* \< 1 for stability.
The response time for a tandem pair of G-queues (where customers who finish service at the first node immediately move to the second, then leave the network) is also known, and it is thought extensions to larger networks will be intractable

# Odds & Ends (album)
***Odds & Ends*** is a collection of unfinished tracks and demo recordings by British pop singer, Dido. The collection was put together by her management team, Nettwerk, and released promotionally in late 1995, in order to gain interest from record companies so that Dido could be signed to a major record label. All of the material was recorded between 1993 and 1995. Dido was brought to the attention of Arista Records, who were impressed with her collaborations and songwriting for the UK dance group Faithless, her work with a UK dance act spearheaded by her brother, Rollo Armstrong, and more importantly, the album. Arista Records signed Dido in the United States, eventually forming a deal with her brother Rollo Armstrong\'s record label, Cheeky Records, allowing her music to be released internationally. The track \"Worthless\" later appeared on *The Highbury Fields EP*, a five track sampler released to promote her debut album, *No Angel*. \"Take My Hand\" was included on the album itself, and \"Sweet Eyed Baby\" was remixed to create another album track, \"Don\'t Think of Me\". \"Worthless\" and \"Me\" also appeared on the Japanese version of *No Angel*.

# John Moodie
**John Moodie, Jr.** (1859 in Hamilton, Canada West -- 8 August, 1944) was a Canadian textile manufacturer, executive, and hobbyist.
In 1903, Moodie was founder of the Hamilton Automobile Club (now CAA South Central Ontario), the first organization of its kind in Canada. He also belonged to the *Royal Auto Club* of London, England.
Moodie invested in many businesses. He co-founded the *Eagle Knitting Co.* in Hamilton, 1888 with his father, John Moodie, Sr. and brother James Robert. As well, his father helped establish *The Hamilton Cataract Power Co.* and Moodie invested heavily in the project. He was also president of the following companies; *The Royal Distillery* (Hamilton) for nine years, *Robinson Industries* (Hamilton), *Dover Industries* (Chatham, Ontario) and also, president of a company operating the Hamilton-Toronto steamer run.
Moodie was credited with the following; He owned the first player piano in Hamilton, owned the first bicycle in Canada (1878), owned the first motorboat in the Hamilton Bay and also owned the first automobile in Canada (in Hamilton 1898), a one-cylinder Winton he imported from Cleveland, Ohio

# Southern red-fronted tinkerbird
The **southern red-fronted tinkerbird**, (***Pogoniulus pusillus***) is a small bird in the African barbet family Lybiidae. It is found in southern Mozambique and eastern South Africa. This species was formerly regarded as conspecific with the northern red-fronted tinkerbird (*Pogoniulus uropygialis*).
The southern red-fronted tinkerbird is associated with juniper forest and scrub. It nests in a tree hole and lays two or three eggs. It eats berries and fruit, particularly mistletoe, but also takes insects as it forages in deep cover.
## Description
The southern red-fronted tinkerbird is 9 -- in length. It is a plump bird, with a short neck, large head, and short tail. The adult has black upper parts heavily streaked with yellow and white, and a golden wing patch. Its head has a strong black and white pattern, with a red forecrown spot. Its underparts and rump are lemon yellow. Sexes are similar in appearance, but young birds lack the red forehead.
This species is distinguished from the yellow-fronted tinkerbird by the colour of the forehead spot, the golden wing patch, and its overall darker appearance. It is often confused with the red-fronted barbet, but it is significantly smaller than that species, has a black moustache and a less robust bill, and lacks a broad yellow superciliary stripe.
At about 100 repetitions per minute, the red-fronted tinkerbird\'s call is a fast *tink-tink-tink-tink*, very similar to that of the yellow-fronted tinkerbird. Many barbets perch prominently, but unlike their larger relatives, the smaller tinkerbirds sing from cover and are more frequently heard than seen

# Ministock (New Zealand)
**Ministocks** are a class of car raced at many New Zealand speedway tracks. Ministocks are primarily youth grade but at some tracks are raced as an adult class. Ministocks are not currently a \'recognized\' class in New Zealand; this means they are not able to run big championships in the North, South, and New Zealand Championships. In the youth grade drivers are aged from 12 to 16 and are taught to focus on how to handle a car on the racing track, learn racing rules and various sorts of tactics. Kids can start racing at the age of 10 at non speedway NZ tracks such as Waharoa. Once the drivers are at the stage of moving up a level, they are able to keep their existing cars and race in Adult Ministocks, or move into another class, i.e. Streetstocks, Stockcars, Superstocks, Modifieds, Midgets, Three Quarter Midgets, Saloons, Super Saloons, Production Saloons, Minisprints or Sprintcars.
## Adult Ministocks {#adult_ministocks}
This class is not raced on many tracks in the North Island but are more popular in the South Island, some South Island tracks also allow youth Ministocks to race on all their tracks.
## Cars
Ministocks are built to resemble New Zealand Stockcars, but unlike Stockcars, Ministocks are a non-contact class. The engines in them are from Nissans (a12) and also Toyota 3K engines. Nissan engines are the most popular with the Ministock class, but with donor cars slowly disappearing, more Toyota\'s are being used. These lightweight cars can go as fast as 90 km/h.

# John Vear
**Dennis John Vear** (5 April 1938 -- 21 December 2017) was a New Zealand cricketer who played three first-class matches for Otago in the early 1960s. He also played for Southland in the Hawke Cup competition.
Vear was born at Auckland in 1938 and educated at Wellington College where he played cricket. He played age-group cricket for Wellington under 20 sides from 1954--55 until 1956--57 and played for Nelson in their Newman Shield victory over Marlborough in February 1955, taking five wickets in the Marlborough first innings. The following season he played for North Island under-20s in a New Zealand Colts trial match.
After moving to Invercargill, Vear first played for Southland during the 1958--59 season before making his first-class debut for Otago the following season. An all-rounder, he failed to take a wicket but scored 22 runs in the only innings in which Otago batted in February 1960 against Central Districts. In the event this was his highest first-class score. He opened the bowling for Otago against Auckland in early January 1961 but again failed to take a wicket, before going on to take a single wicket in the side\'s next match against Northern Districts, Vear\'s final first-class fixture.
Considered a \"batsman of good sense\" and a bowler who could \"make the ball rise uncomfortably from a good length\", Vear continued to play for Southland until the end of the 1960s. He appeared in four Hawke Cup matches for the province and was a mainstay of its bowling attack throughout the decade.
Vear died at Christchurch in December 2017. He was aged 79

# Jim Harmon
**James Judson Harmon** (21 April 1933 -- 16 February 2010), better known as **Jim Harmon**, was an American short story author and popular culture historian who wrote extensively about the Golden Age of Radio. He sometimes used the pseudonym **Judson Grey**, and occasionally he was labeled **Mr. Nostalgia**.
## Fiction
During the 1950s and 1960s, Harmon wrote more than 50 short stories and novelettes for *Amazing Stories*, *Future Science Fiction*, *Galaxy Science Fiction*, *If*, *The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction*, *Venture Science Fiction Magazine* and other magazines. These were collected in such science fiction anthologies as *Fourth Galaxy Reader*, *Galaxy: Thirty Years of Speculative Fiction* and *Rare Science Fiction*.
The best of Harmon\'s science fiction stories were reprinted in *Harmon\'s Galaxy* (Cosmos Books, 2004) with an introduction by Richard A. Lupoff. The collection includes one from the December 1962 issue of *The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction* (\"The Depths\") and five from *Galaxy*---\"[Charity Case](https://archive.org/stream/galaxymagazine-1959-12/Galaxy_1959_12#page/n117/mode/2up)\" (December 1959), \"[Name Your Symptom](https://archive.org/stream/galaxymagazine-1956-05/Galaxy_1956_05#page/n15/mode/1up)\" (May 1956), \"[No Substitutions](https://archive.org/stream/galaxymagazine-1958-11/Galaxy_1958_11#page/n77/mode/2up)\" (November 1958), \"The Place Where Chicago Was\" (February 1962) and \"[The Spicy Sound of Success](https://archive.org/stream/galaxymagazine-1959-08/Galaxy_1959_08#page/n71/mode/2up)\" (August 1959).
His only science fiction novel, *The Contested Earth* (Ramble House, 1959), was given its first publication in 2007 along with seven short stories in *The Contested Earth and Other SF Stories*. In the introduction, Harmon reflected on the novel\'s history: `{{blockquote|This is a period piece, written during the last years of the pulp era. I was 26 in 1959, and some science fiction magazines were still in the old familiar pulp magazine style of about seven by nine inches, such as ''[[Science Fiction Quarterly]]''... Due to a health problem, I had little formal education. But I read a lot and thought a lot and imagined a lot. I became a science fiction writer. ''The Contested Earth'' was my first science fiction novel. I had written a number of novelettes and short stories and sold a good number to the aforementioned ''SF Quarterly'' and more to one of the leading SF magazines, ''Galaxy''. The editor there, [[H. L. Gold]], was incredibly supportive of a teen-age writer. In one editorial, he referred to me as a “Vesuvius of flaming, literary lava”. What more can be said after that! Yet he did not accept this novel. One reason (but only one) was that in those days novels were accepted almost exclusively by the leaders in the field like Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Theodore Sturgeon, by both magazines and paperback and hardcover publishers. After a number of submissions back then, I stopped submitting this novel. As the years passed and the number of manuscript I kept got down to a single Stor-All box, I would go through these yellowing bundles of pages and throw some away—ones I had published and ones I thought I would never publish. Somehow, I decided to keep this novel “a little while longer.” Finally, I encountered Fender Tucker and his wonderful endeavor, [[Ramble House]], and got a go-ahead to put out ''The Contested Earth''. I made changes in it, but mostly in writing style.<ref>[http://www.ramblehouse.com/contestedearthchapter.htm Harmon, Jim. "Introduction," Ramble House]</ref>}}`{=mediawiki}
Harmon also wrote Western tales for such magazines as *Double-Action Western*, plus detective and crime stories (*Smashing Detective*, *Pursuit*). Eight of his mystery novels have been slightly revised by Harmon and reprinted by Ramble House in trade editions,

## Radio
When Harmon began writing about the classic radio shows, almost no books on the subject had been published, so he had the field to himself. He got underway with *Radio Hero*, a small circulation self-published magazine started in 1963. His first mainstream book on the subject was *The Great Radio Heroes* (Doubleday, 1967; revised edition by McFarland & Company, 2002). *Library Journal* reviewed: `{{blockquote|Radio producer Harmon here expands his 1967 original to include numerous photos of actors who starred in the radio shows of yesteryear and to update their profiles (what they are doing now, who died, etc.). Chapters cover the stars of cop shows, Westerns, comedies, adventures, and dramas. A good one-stop resource for information on the days when radio was the leading form of home entertainment.}}`{=mediawiki}
Harmon\'s other books include *The Great Radio Comedians* (Doubleday, 1970; revised edition by BearManor Media, 2007), *Jim Harmon\'s Nostalgia Catalogue* (J.P. Tarcher, 1973), *The Great Movie Serials* (Routledge, 1973), *The Godzilla Book* (Borgo, 1986), *Radio & TV Premiums: A Guide to the History and Value of Radio and TV Premiums* (Krause, 1997), *Radio Mystery and Adventure and Its Appearances in Film, Television and Other Media* (McFarland, 2003).
### Radio into fiction {#radio_into_fiction}
He edited volumes two and three of *It\'s That Time Again* (Bearmanor Media, 2004 and 2006), an anthology series of new fiction featuring the characters of old-time radio. His story in the first volume is \"Tom Mix and the Mystery of the Bodiless Horseman.\" For the second book in the series, he contributed \"Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Duplicate Daughter\" and \"The Avenger and the Maker of Werewolves.\" The third volume in the series introduced character crossovers, and Harmon combined Nick Carter, Jack Armstrong and Tom Mix into a single novelette, *Jack Armstrong and the Horde of Montezuma*.
One of the earliest dealers to issue a catalog of tapes of old time radio shows, Harmon also wrote, produced and appeared in a radio revival of the *Tom Mix* radio series during the early 1980s.

***Ornithoptera richmondia***, the **Richmond birdwing**, is a species of birdwing butterfly that is endemic to Australia. It is the second smallest of the birdwing species, the smallest being *Ornithoptera meridionalis*.
## Distribution
Historically, *O. richmondia* is recorded from rainforests southwards from Maryborough to the Clarence River in New South Wales. Due to widespread habitat loss throughout its range, its distribution is much more restricted, especially in Queensland. Its present-day range is from Kin Kin and Pomona, North Arm, Yandina, Coolum (although this population is now extinct due to drought), Parklands and Nambour, Diddillibah, Buderim, Eudlo, Palmwoods, the Mooloolah and Diamond Valleys, the entire Blackall Range southeast from Kenilworth to the state forest near the Caloundra Turnoff and west to Peachester and the Stanley River, and the Conondale Range southwards to Mount Mee.
South of Brisbane, the species is recorded along the Nerang River and the Tallebudgera valleys and has an important stronghold in the national parks adjacent to the Queensland-New South Wales border. In New South Wales, the species is widespread in rainforest southwards to the Blackwall Range near Wardell and the Cherry Tree State Forest near Mallangangee (Braby 2000, Sands & New 2002, Sands & Scott 1997). Note that although the species may be abundant at altitude (e.g. the Queensland-New South Wales border ranges national parks), these populations typically die out due to cold winter temperatures and require migration of adults from the lowlands for persistence. Population sizes in these habitats therefore vary from year to year.
A recommended viewing locality for this species is the car park at the base of the summit trail to Mount Warning in Mount Warning National Park, New South Wales. Given good weather during their flight period, sighting this butterfly is almost a certainty.

*O. richmondia* has never received an official IUCN classification (Collins & Morris, 1985), however Sands & Scott (1997) regarded it to satisfy the \"vulnerable\" category because of habitat loss across its former range. Currently, it is considered not of concern in New South Wales and low risk (least concern) in Queensland (Sands & New, 2002). This species was previously more abundant than it is now, especially in Queensland, with Illidge (1927) noting the species to be common in Brisbane in the early 1900s.
North of Brisbane, the species is now restricted to small patches of remnant rainforest with relatively few populations secure in national parks or forest reserves; strongholds include the Connondale and Blackall ranges. *Ornithoptera richmondia* is more abundant south of the Nerang River, especially in Lamington National Park and the associated border ranges. Threatening processes for this species are habitat loss and several previously robust populations near Buderim now locally extinct due to habitat destruction for housing and commercial development, other habitat clearing activities and edge effects, which alter the climatic conditions required for the immature stages of this species to successfully develop. Another threatening process is the non-native environmental weed *Aristolochia littoralis*, or Dutchman\'s pipevine (see below).
In recent years, retired CSIRO entomologist D.P.A. Sands has led a series of recovery projects for *O. richmondia*. The first was largely run in association with the CSIRO\'s Double Helix school program (Sands and Scott 1997) and focused on planting *Aristolochia praevenosa*, in schools and conservation reserves. The current recovery programme is run through the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly Recovery Network, which aims to establish corridors between existing populations and assist existing populations by planting host plants, maintain previous plantings of host plants, propagate further vines for future planting and continue education and public awareness through seminars and newsletters. Both campaigns have been extremely successful in establishing the Richmond birdwing as a flagship species for rainforest conservation in southeastern Queensland (Sands & Scott, 1997).

## Biology
### Host plants and larval biology {#host_plants_and_larval_biology}
*O. richmondia* normally feeds only on two endemic species of the family Aristolochiaceae, Richmond birdwing butterfly vine (*Aristolochia praevenosa*) in lowland habitats and *Aristolochia laheyana* in highland habitats (e.g. the QLD-NSW border range national parks above 800 m) (Braby 2000, Sands and Scott 1997). Its sole non-native host plant is *Aristolochia tagala*, although larvae do not transfer well to this species if already established on their usual host plants. Eggs are also laid on the introduced calico flower (*Aristolochia littoralis*), however larvae are killed by feeding on this plant. Cultivation and sale of *A. littoralis* is strongly discouraged throughout the range of the Richmond birdwing and should not be grown in Queensland at any rate, as it is also toxic to the larvae of the clearwing swallowtail (*Cressida cressida*), the red-bodied swallowtail (*Pachliopta polydorus queenslandicus*) and all other Australian birdwings (*O. euphorion*, *O. priamus* subspecies). The two native species of *Aristolochia* utilised by *O. richmondia* are believed to contain aristolic acids toxic to vertebrate predators.
The larvae of *O. richmondia* require relatively specialist environmental conditions for their survival and this is one reason why the species does not establish permanently in home gardens. Eggs are usually laid on the soft foliage of leaders extending into the canopy and emerge within about one week. The newly emerged larvae devour their eggshell and then require very soft foliage, as they are incapable of feeding on older, tough foliage. The larvae are extremely ravenous and require large plants; a 10-year-old vine may be needed to sustain a single larva (Sands and Scott, 1997). The fifth (final) instar larva may ringbark the stem of its host as in other *Ornithoptera*, however there are no records in literature to sustain this. Pre-pupal larvae usually move away from their host plants to pupate, as larvae can be cannibalistic. The pupae are suspended in typical Papilionid fashion by crotchets at the end of their abdomen and a girdle extending around the thorax and require a protected site to survive winter. *Ornithoptera richmondia* is also the only birdwing known to enter a true diapause; artificial introduction of other *Ornithoptera* species to within the range of *O. richmondia* could interfere with this mechanism.
Predators of the immature stages of *O. richmondia* include parasitic wasps, predatory mites (Erythraeidae) and some rainforest birds.

## Biology
### Adult biology {#adult_biology}
Adult Richmond birdwings are very strong fliers usually active in the early morning and near dusk, when they can be easily observed feeding on flowers such as *Lantana* (*Lantana camara*), although eucalypt and *Melaleuca* flowers are also utilised. Observations of *O. richmondia* at other times of the day can lead to false impressions of their rarity, as the species can be locally abundant, albeit in small areas. Females are often observed some distance from their habitats and a migration of sorts has been noted in the QLD-NSW border ranges following years of exceptional rainfall. Such migrations allow populations of this species to establish in highland habitats over summer, although they die out over winter due to cold. Birdwing butterflies are extremely elegant fliers, using their forewings to generate most of the power for flight. These are moved in almost a circular arc, while the hindwings act almost as a tailplane. Birdwings of the genus *Troides* fly in a similar manner. If disturbed, their flight becomes very erratic, essentially a series of skips and hops weaving in and out of foliage. They typically fly high in the rainforest canopy, descending only to feed or oviposit on host plants. Males routinely establish territories along creeks and in rainforest clearings and periodically patrol them during the day, again being most active at dawn and dusk. Courtship is elaborate, with the male initially chasing after the female before hovering above to douse her in pheremones from his androconial brush, a large row of hairs along the anal fold of the hindwing. Females not receptive to such overtures will avoid mating by remaining immobile and preventing the male from settling and pairing with her.
## Taxonomic status {#taxonomic_status}
The taxonomic status of *O. richmondia* is still contested and molecular studies are required to establish its relationship with *O. euphorion* and *O. priamus*. *Ornithoptera richmondia* was initially described as *Amphrisius australis* by Swainson in 1851, and described a second time as *Papilio richmondia* by Gray in 1853. An application needs to be made to the ICZN to suppress *A. australis*, as *richmondia* has been the most commonly used epithet since either publication. Since its initial descriptions, *O. richmondia* has commonly been treated as a subspecies of the widespread Priam\'s birdwing (*O. priamus*). Although Zeuner suggested that *O. richmondia* may represent a distinct species from examination of the male genitalia, he continued to regard it as a subspecies of *O. priamus*. Based on Zeuner\'s argument, D\'Abrera (1975) treated *O. richmondia* as a full species, although this arrangement was not accepted by Haugum & Low (1971). Nonetheless, D\'Abrera\'s treatment of *O. richmondia* as a distinct species has been followed by most Australian authors since (e.g. Common & Waterhouse 1981, Hancock 1983, 1991; Parsons 1996a, 1996b and Hancock & Orr 1997, Braby 2000). Many non-Australian authors (e.g. Otani & Kimura 1998, von Knotgen 1997, Schaffler 2001, Deslisle 2004) continue to treat *O. richmondia* as a subspecies of *O. priamus*, although none cite any of the above Australian studies in their works. The most recent and robust taxonomic assessment of *O. richmondia* is by Edwards, Newland and Regan (2001) who afford this taxon full specific status, albeit as a species of *Troides* Hübner

# JBoss (company)
**JBoss** also known as **JBoss Group, LLC** and **JBoss, Inc** was a startup based in Atlanta, Georgia. It produced an open source Java application server called JBoss and later JBoss Enterprise Application Platform as well as a suite of related products. In 2006 it was acquired by Red Hat for at least 350 million US dollars.
## History
Marc Fleury started the JBoss project in 1999. JBoss Group, LLC was incorporated in 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia. JBoss became a corporation under the name JBoss, Inc. in 2004. It was a C corporation headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that owned the copyright and trademarks associated with JBoss.
In early 2006 Oracle Corporation, a major distributor of database software, sought to buy JBoss Inc. for an estimated \$400 million. The acquisition would have enabled Oracle to compete with rivals BEA Systems and IBM in the middleware market (Oracle eventually acquired BEA in April 2008). On April 10, 2006, however, Red Hat announced that they would buy JBoss for at least \$350 million, with a top-up of \$70 million depending on JBoss\' financial performance. The acquisition was completed in June 2006

# Autotopagnosia
**Autotopagnosia** from the Greek *a* and *gnosis,* meaning \"without knowledge\", *topos* meaning \"place\", and *auto* meaning \"oneself\", autotopagnosia virtually translates to the \"lack of knowledge about one\'s own space,\" and is clinically described as such.
**Autotopagnosia** is a form of agnosia, characterized by an inability to localize and orient different parts of the body. The psychoneurological disorder has also been referred to as \"body-image agnosia\" or \"somatotopagnosia.\" *Somatotopagnosia* has been argued to be a better suited term to describe the condition. While autotopagnosia emphasizes the deficiencies in localizing only one\'s own body parts and orientation, *somatotopagnosia* also considers the inability to orient and recognize the body parts of others or representations of the body (e.g., manikins, diagrams).
Typically, the cause of autotopagnosia is a lesion found in the parietal lobe of the left hemisphere of the brain. However, it as also been noted that patients with generalized brain damage present with similar symptoms of autotopagnosia. As a concept, autotopagnosia has been criticized as nonspecific; some claim that this is a manifestation of a greater symptomatic complex of anomia, marked by an inability to name things in general---not just parts of the human body.
## Symptoms and signs {#symptoms_and_signs}
: **Contiguity errors**, the most common errors made by patients with autotopagnosia, refer to errors made when the patient is asked to locate a certain body part and points to the surrounding body parts, but not the part they\'ve been asked to locate.
```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
: **Semantic errors** refer to errors made when patients point to body parts in the same category as that which they\'ve been asked to locate, but cannot locate the correct body part. An example of a semantic error would be a patient pointing to an elbow when asked to locate a knee. Semantic errors are much less common than contiguity errors.
Some patients demonstrating the symptoms of autotopagnosia have a decreased ability to locate parts of other multipart object. Patients are considered to have \"pure\" autotopagnosia, however, if their deficiency is specific to body part localization. Patients with \"pure\" autotopagnosia often have no problems carrying out tasks involved in everyday life that require body part awareness. Patients have difficulty locating body parts when directly asked, but can carry out activities such as putting on pants without difficulty. Patients can describe the function and appearance of body parts, yet they are still unable to locate them.
Damage to the left parietal lobe can result in what is called Gerstmann syndrome. It can include right-left confusion, a difficulty with writing Agraphia and a difficulty with mathematics Acalculia. In addition, it can also produce language deficiencies Aphasia and an inability to recognize objects normally Agnosia.
Other related disorders include:
- Apraxia: an inability to perform skilled movements despite understanding of the movements and intact sensory and motor systems.
- Finger agnosia: An inability to name the fingers, move a specific finger upon being asked, and/or recognize which finger has been touched when an examiner touches one.

# Autotopagnosia
## Causes
Due to the subjective nature of autotopagnosia, there are many hypotheses presented as to the underlying causation. Since the condition by definition is an inability to recognize the human body and its parts, the disorder could stem from a language deficit specific to body parts. On the other hand, the patient could have a disrupted body image or a variation of the inability to separate parts from whole. It is also believed that autotopagnosia has multiple underlying causes that cannot be categorized as either language-specific or body-image-specific. The rarity of autotopagnosia, frequently combined with the manifestation of other psychoneurological disorders, makes the prime cause extremely difficult to study. In many cases, one of these accompanying conditions---often aphasia---could be masking the patient\'s autotopagnosia altogether.
### Brain Lesions {#brain_lesions}
Although it is still unclear what precise deficits in brain function cause the symptoms of autotopagnosia, the location of brain damage is not as ambiguous. Autotopagnosia is most often attributed to lesions in the parietal lobe of the left hemisphere of the brain. However, it is also believed that the disorder can be caused by general brain damage as well. Many different types of brain lesions can cause autotopagnosia; however, neoplastic lesions seem to be the most common. \"Pure\" autotopagnosia is often seen with smaller lesions, as larger lesions tend to create other unseen deficits that can confuse or mask the appearance of the symptoms of autotopagnosia---such as aphasia, as discussed above.
### Mental Representations of Body Schema {#mental_representations_of_body_schema}
Lesions in the left parietal lobe are thought to disrupt one or more of four putative mental representations of body schema. The deficiencies associated with the disease seem to arise from a dysfunction in the mental representation of the body; however, the human psyche interprets its body schema and orientation in space through various sources of representation systems. According to Felician et al. (2003), the notion of body schema can be categorized into four tiers of mental representation:
Level Type Description
------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Lexical and Semantic Representations of the Body At the first level, the mind anchors its body image to refer to body-related conceptual knowledge, associated with speech and language recognition. For instance, the identification of body parts are attributed to fundamental knowledge of the names and titles, *rather than the physical locations and relationships of body parts*.
2 Category-specific Visuospatial Representations of the Body On the second tier, unlike semantic representation, the visuospatial schema specifies the structural position of parts over the body surface. In particular, it relates to the local relationship between body parts and the boundaries between them.
3 Classical Notion of Postural Schema On a third level, the classical notion of postural schema emerges, which draws from various sources of sensory afferences. Information from proprioceptive, tactile, visual, auditory, and vestibular systems is consolidated to construct an on-line, three-dimensional and dynamic representation of the body in space, a \"somatosensory representation.\"
4 Motor Representations Finally, the skeletal-muscular system provides motor representations that participate in the formation and preservation of the somatosensory representations.

# Autotopagnosia
## Diagnosis
The nature of the alleged mental representations that underlie the act of pointing to target body parts have been a controversial issue. Originally, it was diagnosed as the effects of general mental deterioration or of aphasia on the task of pointing to body parts on verbal command. However, contemporary neuropsychological therapy seeks to establish the independence of autotopagnosia from other disorders. With such a general definition, a patient that presents with a dysfunction of or failure in accessing one of four mental representation systems has autotopagnosia. Through observational testing, the type of mental misrepresentation of the body can be deduced: whether *semantic*, *visuospatial*, *somatosensory*, or *motor misrepresentations*. Neuropsychological tests can provide a proper diagnosis in regards to the specificity of patient\'s agnosic condition.
**1) Test 1: Body Part Localization: Free vision and no vision conditions**
This exploratory approach assesses the patient\'s ability to localize one\'s body parts and those of the examiner in several different conditions. The examiner and subjects are seated facing one another at a one-meter distance. At the start of each trial, the examiner ensures that the subject\'s hands are at rest on the arms of the chair and legs uncrossed. In addition, errors are categorized as (1) left-right reversal: response to correct part on incorrect side; (2) spatial: response to area contiguous with target; (3) functional/semantic: response to area non-contiguous with target, but sharing function or a part of a larger unit; (4) unrelated to examiner\'s request.
Test 1 Specifications Description
-------- ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Verbal Command: Point to Self Examiner names a body part, and the subjects are instructed to point to that part on themselves.
B Verbal Command: Point to Examiner Examiner names a body part, and subjects are instructed to point to that named part on the examiner.
C Visual Cue: Point to Self Examiner points to body parts on himself, and subjects are required to point to the homologous part on themselves.
D Visual Cue: Point to Examiner Examiner points to a body part on the subjects, and they are required to point to the homologous part on the examiner.
E Blindfold Post-Visual Cue: Point to Self Same as Study 1c., except subjects are blindfolded after examiner points to himself, prior to response execution.
**2) Test 2: On-line positioning of body vis-à-vis objects**
If deficits in body part localization are due to impairments in body schema, then patients should be deficient in reaching and grasping objects. This test evaluates the specificity of the patient\'s insufficiency, in regards to the specific positioning of body parts with respect to objects.
**3) Test 3: Localization of objects on the body surface**
Patients were asked to point to small objects mounted on the body, acting as a body reference system (body schema). The investigation is to determine whether localization of the same points on the body surfaces assessed in Test 1 might be improved when these points correspond to external objects.
**4) Test 4: Body part semantic knowledge**
Patient is shown photographs of 10 items of clothing and 7 grooming tools, 1 per trial, and asked to point to the part of his own body associated with each item.
**5) Test 5: Matching body parts: Effect of viewing angle**
Assessment of whether the patient\'s deficit in body part representation extends to individual body parts, and whether visual attributes of the body and its parts, such as viewing angle, affect their recognition.
## Treatment
As autotopagnosia arises from neurological and irreversible damage, options regarding symptom reversal or control are limited. As of April 2010, there are no known specific treatments for autotopagnosia.
No medications or pharmaceutical remedies have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat or cure autotopagnosia. There have been cases in which extensive rehabilitation has been beneficial following restitution, repetitive training to correct the impaired function, and compensation of other skills to make up for the deficit. Rehabilitation is not a definitive treatment and only shows signs of slight improvement in a small percentage of autotopagnosia patients.

# Autotopagnosia
## History
Head and Holme\'s studies (1911) were developed alongside those of Arnold Pick (1851--1924), who was the first to describe autotopagnosia (1908) as the inability to locate body parts on command on a whole body structure. Pick noted those with autotopagnosia as having a dissociation between the capacity to recognize and name their own body part (as commanded by an examiner) and the inability to find the same body part on command. In a series of studies, Pick focused on patients who were unable to point to their own body parts and those of the examiner. His patients could however comprehend the body part terminology as well as locate them on a painted visual; however none had a clear demonstration of body specificity. Pick concluded a disturbance of \"visual\" body image and body awareness. Pick\'s studies introduced autotopagnosia and other category specific agnosias, such as visual and tactile agnosia. Josef Gerstmann (1887--1969) first developed the term somatotopagnosia, meaning the lack of knowledge about the body space. Gerstmann studied patients whose deficits were in the body schema and thus lacked the ability to recognize, identify or name the fingers on either hand, a phenomenon known as finger agnosia.
Until the 1980s, there had been no scientifically accredited cases of autotopagnosia, rather agnosias that have been secondary to other neurological deficits such as dementia. In fact the term autotopagnosia does not appear until Pick\'s studies in 1908 and 1922

# Shinkaichi
`{{Nihongo|'''Shinkaichi'''|新開地|''Shinkaichi''}}`{=mediawiki} is a district of Kobe, Japan. It is one of the major downtown areas in the city.
The name Shinkaichi means \"newly opened area\". It was named so because the district was newly developed after moving the Minato-gawa (river) from this area to the west end of the city in the early 20th century. Before World War II and the air raid on Kobe by the Allied forces in 1945, this district was the largest section of downtown Kobe.
From the 1920s to the 1940s, this district was also famous as a \"town of theaters\". However, after such theaters lost their popularity during the 1960s, this district rapidly lost its status.

# Babylon's Ark
***Babylon\'s Ark, The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo*** (2007) is a book by South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony, with writer Graham Spence. The book tells of the struggle to save the Baghdad Zoo during the US-led Coalition invasion of Iraq.
## Summary
The book focuses on how in early 2003, during the invasion of Iraq, South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony, realized that there would be no one looking after the biggest zoo in the Middle East, and left his Thula Thula game reserve home in Zululand, South Africa, for war-blockaded Kuwait.
Anthony wrangled his way into becoming the first civilian, apart from media, to gain access to Iraq and then, drove a hired car from Kuwait, unarmed and unescorted, into the heart of Baghdad.
On arrival, Anthony found that a battle had been fought in the surrounding park, and that the zoo had been damaged and badly looted. Hundreds of animals had died, escaped, or been stolen for food. Zoo veterinarian Dr Husham Hussan and two zoo staff met him, beginning the rescue.
Anthony tells of his many adventures, for example, how he found himself sleeping with fighting troops, including tank crews of the US 3rd Infantry Division in the derelict Al-Rashid Hotel, made friends with government officials, soldiers and rallied foreign mercenaries to his cause. He recounts raiding bombed palaces and ruined hotels for food and supplies to feed animals and zoo staff, and rescuing lions, cheetahs and ostriches from Uday Hussein\'s palace.
Bobby Rob, Lawrence\'s Thula Thula game reserve manager, arrives to assist, and together with US Captain William Sumner, the courageous zoo directors Dr Adel Mousa and Dr Husham Hussan, Iraqi veterinarian Farah Murrani, and a few loyal zoo staff, they formed an intrepid team which secured the zoo and somehow kept the remaining animals alive and the zoo safe in some extreme circumstances. Confronted by an appalling situation, cut off from the world and completely surrounded by fighting and looting, the team overcame every \"can\'t be done,\" to hold together the remains of what was once the biggest zoo in the Middle East literally out of nothing. At various times they are assisted by other conservation organizations including AZA, Wildaid, Care for the Wild, and IFAW.
As the fighting eases, the team is able to get around the city with help from the military and rescue starving and abused animals from other facilities in Baghdad and bring them back to the zoo for safekeeping.
News of the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein's magnificent personal herd of thoroughbred Arabian horses, stolen during the invasion, arrives at the zoo and in an adventurous raid, led by Captains William Sumner and Gavino Rivas with Whittington-Jones and Murrani assisting, seventeen horses are recovered and returned to the Iraqi people.
Later the French Army sent in army engineers who overhauled and upgraded the infrastructure of the zoo and surrounding park. The zoo and park were reopened to the public on July 19, 2003.
On September 17, 2003, the day after Anthony returned home to South Africa, an American soldier, who had reportedly been drinking, attempted to feed the zoo\'s prize Bengal tiger \"Malooh\" through the enclosure bars and was bitten on the hand after. His companion then shot the still-caged tiger with a pistol, and it bled to death overnight.
### Conclusion
At its conclusion, the book gives a sobering view of the dwindling spiral of life on Earth as a result of the deterioration of the plant and animal kingdoms and the planet\'s environment. Lawrence speaks of how the rescue inspired the formation of The Earth Organization, a grass roots international non-profit, conservation and environment organization, with new solutions, committed to the creative responsible rehabilitation of planet Earth and the plant and animal kingdoms.
## Publication
*Babylon\'s Ark* was first picked up by Paraview Literary Agency and was then adopted, published and released by St. Martin\'s Press of New York in early March 2007. An audiobook version narrated by Simon Vance was released in 2015.

# Babylon's Ark
## Reception
Prior to launch, *Babylon\'s Ark* received starred reviews in the United States, from both *Booklist* and *Kirkus Reviews* denoting it \"a book of remarkable merit.\"
## Film script {#film_script}
In early 2005, a screenwriter from Los Angeles, Terry Jastrow, with the invitation of Lawrence Anthony, flew to South Africa and stayed with Lawrence at his game reserve Thula Thula. Jastrow wanted to learn more about Lawrence\'s trip to Iraq during the early days of the Iraqi War to save the animals in the Baghdad Zoo, and write a screenplay suitable for a feature film.
Lawrence\'s first book, *Babylon\'s Ark*, written with Graham Spence, was in galley form at the time, and provided useful context and guidance. Each morning Terry would sit with Lawrence to gain a more complete understanding of the events which occurred before, during, and after Lawrence\'s effort to save the animals at the zoo. Each afternoon Terry would write pages of the script and submit them for Lawrence\'s review. This process was greatly aided by Lawrence\'s wife Francoise Malby and his son Dylan.
After completion of a first draft screenplay entitled *Good Luck, Mr. Anthony*, Terry returned to Los Angeles and submitted the script to Beacon Pictures. Beacon immediately optioned the screenplay and formally submitted it to Disney Studios. For reasons having nothing to do with the script or the project, the film was not made and the rights expired

# ACLEDA Bank
**ACLEDA Bank Plc.** (`{{IPAc-en|ˌ|eɪ|s|iː|ˈ|l|iː|d|ə}}`{=mediawiki}; *ធនាគារ អេស៊ីលីដា ភីអិលស៊ី*, *Thônéakéar Ésilida Phi\'ĕlsi*) is a public limited company, formed under the Banking and Financial Institutions Law of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Based in Phnom Penh, with 261 offices covering all provinces, as well as 42 in Laos, and seven in Myanmar. ACLEDA started out in 1993 when it began providing micro credits to war victims. By now it is Cambodia\'s major commercial bank. ACLEDA had more than \$5,244 million in total assets as of December 31, 2017, and more than \$3,117 million in deposits, with over \$3,085 million in loans outstanding. According to the National Bank of Cambodia, ACLEDA Bank is the largest domestic commercial bank in terms of total assets and number of clients, with more than 1.7 million depositors as of December 31, 2017.
The bank is headed by president and GMD, In Channy, who is one of the original 28 members of the organization. Channy joined the company in 1992 as a loan officer while the bank was still a UN-funded microfinance project. He is chief executive officer of the company, and vice-chairman of the International Business Chamber of Cambodia.
ACLEDA is an acronym for the **Association of Cambodian Local Economic Development Agencies** (*link=no*).
## History
With the ILO and UNDP as godparents, ACLEDA was established in January 1993, as a national NGO for micro and small enterprise development and credit by a group of founders listed below. From its earliest days, it enjoyed the support of a number of major international development agencies whose contributions are gratefully acknowledged in ACLEDA\'s \'Roll of Honour\'. Two factors, namely the expansion of its network to cover all of Cambodia\'s provinces and towns and its ability to operate at a profit to ensure its sustainability, led both its board and international partners to conclude that it should be transformed into a commercial bank. This would not only provide a secure regulatory framework lacking under its previous status but would also enable it to enlarge its range of funding options (e.g., equity injection, taking public deposits, obtaining commercial interbank loans) to support the expansion of its core micro-finance business. With assistance from USAID, MPDF/IFC and UNDP---to name a few---a three-year program for transformation commenced in 1998 which culminated in the granting of a specialized banking license in October 2000.
Under the process, the original NGO has transferred its assets and on-lent its liabilities (long-term loans from donors) to the new ACLEDA Bank. In return, it has received 44.91% of the bank\'s capital of US\$4 million; the ACLEDA Staff Association (ASA), a trust established to give its staff an equity interest, has purchased 6.09% and the remaining 49% has been taken up in equal parts by four foreign investors, namely the International Finance Corporation (a division of the World Bank), DEG (Germany), FMO and Triodos Bank (The Netherlands). It is intended that ACLEDA Bank will seek a listing on a stock exchange at some time in the future.
Since December 1, 2003, ACLEDA Bank was licensed as a commercial bank after having tripled its capital to US\$13 million and was named ACLEDA Bank Plc. On November 30, 2006, ACLEDA Bank raised its issued and paid-up capital from US\$13 million to US\$30 million. On January 4, 2008, ACLEDA Bank celebrated its fifteenth anniversary and raised its issued and paid-up capital from US\$30 million to US\$50 million.
On January 23, 2009, the capital of ACLEDA Bank Plc. was increased from US\$50 million to US\$60 million and further increased on June 12, 2009, to US\$68.15 million. On June 3, 2011, the bank increased its capital to US\$78 million and further increased to US\$88 million on February 6, 2012.
On May 25, 2012, ACLEDA Bank had raised its issued and paid-up capital from US\$88,372,500 to US\$113,169,560. On June 24, 2015, ACLEDA Bank increased its share capital from US\$225,535,605 to US\$265,726,050.
On June 8, 2016, ACLEDA Bank increased its share capital from \$265,726,050 to \$307,763,911.
On May 12, 2017, ACLEDA Bank increased its share capital from \$307,763,911 to \$358,544,956.
## International expansion {#international_expansion}
In 2008, ACLEDA Bank expanded its business to Laos, becoming the first Cambodian bank to begin operations within the country. As of December 31, 2017, ACLEDA manages 42 branches within Laos. Following the lifting of international sanctions on Myanmar in early 2012, the bank applied for a micro-finance license in Myanmar in June of that year with the plan of providing deposit accounts and money transfers via micro-finance services. The Burmese subsidiary was opened in 2013, which manages 7 offices in the Yangon and Bago regions.

# Novation X-Station
The **Novation X-Station** is a virtual analog synthesizer, audio interface and MIDI controller that was released in early 2004, and made by the British company Novation. It is the end-result of adding an audio interface, a KS-class synthesizer and an effects section to the company\'s ReMOTE controllers. The product was sold for a short time under the name ReMOTE Audio, before being re-branded as the **X-Station**. Functionally there are no differences between the two, apart from the software, that can be updated through a USB connection, at [1](http://www.NovationMusic.com). It came in three variants : 25, 49 and 61 keys (2,4 and 5 octaves, respectively).
The Novation **X-Station** uses a unique process that manipulates algorithms, called \"Liquid Analogue Sound Modelling\" a technique that mimics the subtle distortions introduced at the filter stage by analog synthesis, originally developed by Novation for their classic synth, the Supernova. You could call the synthesizer of the X-Station \"Supernova Light\".
The audio interface is 24 bits, with 2 phantom powered XLR/Jack inputs, and S/PDIF out. It also has an assignable \'Xpression\' pad and spring-loaded X/Y joystick. The X-Station can be powered by USB, rechargeable batteries, or power adaptor.
The Novation X-Station was discontinued May, 2009

# Supermachiner
**Supermachiner** was an experimental music project that Jacob Bannon and Ryan Parker began writing for in 1994 and soon became a collection of four track recordings. When Converge had about six months of down time as the band searched for a drummer, Bannon and Parker found the time to resurrect that project. Bannon and Parker named the project \"Supermachiner\", a play on the term \"Supermachinder\" the compound word for Japanese giant robot toys from the 1970s. The music was very different from Converge\'s, having more in common with influences Swans, Bauhaus, and others.
## History
Supermachiner originally began as a collection of 4 track recordings by Bannon and Parker, recorded in 1994, just prior to Bannon moving to Boston to attend college. The project remained nameless and dormant for a number of years. With the help and inspiration of his good friend Parker, they casually brought the project back to life in the winter of 1998. With his input, they developed collective song ideas into the *Rise of the Great Machine* album. Bannon structured the lyrical content around his feelings on the rise of technology and the death of the individual, making the project thematic in its content. They entered GodCity Studios with Kurt Ballou in the winter of 1999 to take on the piles of old four track tapes they had. Ballou contributed a great deal to the album material both as an engineer and musician and both Ballou and the band brought something to the table. After the recording was complete, there was little/no time to carry on with the project. The original *Rise of the Great Machine* CD was released by the Undecided label in 2000 (now out of print). After the album was released future projects were planned but never materialized. However Bannon continued to write music that was sonically different from Converge, which was later released as solo martial many years later.
The original *Rise of the Great Machine* CD was released by Undecided Records in 2000. In 2004, the album was sold at Converge\'s *You Fail Me* 2004 tour, this version of the album was limited to 50 copies. The album was reissued in 2008, released by the E-Vinyl label in France, it was released as a one time pressing as a deluxe double vinyl, limited to 1000 copies. Eight years after the release of *Rise of the Great Machine*, Deathwish Inc. announced the release of *Rust*, a 30 track double CD that featured remastered versions of the *Rise of the Great Machine* tracks along with b-sides of forgotten songs and additional audio experiments. *Rust* was released on March 16, 2009

# Landscape history
**Landscape history** is the study of the way in which humanity has changed the physical appearance of the environment -- both present and past. It is sometimes referred to as landscape archaeology. It was first recognised as a separate area of study during the 20th century and uses evidence and approaches from other disciplines including archaeology, architecture, ecology, aerial photography, rephotography, local history and historical geography.
## Origin and scope {#origin_and_scope}
In England, landscape history emerged as an academic discipline following the publication of *The Making of the English Landscape* by W. G. Hoskins in 1955, although some topics that are now considered part of landscape history had been identified earlier. Darby, for example, gives many early examples of regional characterisation of landscapes.
Following Hoskins, landscape history expanded in various directions. There are published landscape histories of a number of English counties. Other authors have studied the landscape at earlier periods. One productive avenue has been the study of specific landscape features such as fields, villages, and so on. Managed woodland has been extensively studied by Oliver Rackham.
The scope of landscape history ranges from specific individual features to areas covering hundreds of square miles. Topics studied by landscape historians include:
- the form (morphology) of settlements -- for example whether they are dispersed or nucleated;
- the status of settlements -- for example Anglo-Saxon multiple estates;
- deserted medieval villages which provide evidence of earlier village forms;
- field systems which can be used to date landscape features as well as illuminating earlier landscapes;
- field boundaries or boundaries of larger units such as parishes or counties;
- place-names which have been used to illustrate landscape features, particularly Anglo-Saxon place-names.
## Techniques
Two complementary approaches can be used to study landscape history -- fieldwork and desk research. Fieldwork involves physical inspection of the landscape to identify earthworks and other potential features. Documentary desk research involves finding references to landscape features in primary and secondary sources. Among the most useful documentary sources are maps. Modern aerial photographs are useful for identifying large-scale features; earlier aerial photographs may show features that have now been lost.
The origin of features can often be related to the geology and ecology of the area being studied -- for example the importance of springs and the suitability of the soil for different forms of agriculture.
The presence of indicator species can be used to identify previous land use, for example bluebells suggesting ancient woodland, particularly in the East of England and Lincolnshire.
Landscape features can also indicate earlier land usage. For example, a red hill in a coastal area is an indication of salt production.
The historic landscape characterisation programme initiated by English Heritage provides a framework for standardising and recording information about landscape history, particularly to support the planning authorities.
## Academic status {#academic_status}
Few universities have a department of landscape history. Academic landscape historians are typically found within departments of archaeology, history, local history or continuing education. For example, Nick Higham at Manchester has the title Professor in Early Medieval and Landscape History in the school of history. Landscape history courses are typically post-graduate or extra mural. As a result, much of the work in landscape history is undertaken by amateurs (although often supervised by professionals in landscape studies).
## Journals
*Landscape History* is the name of a refereed journal published by the Society for Landscape Studies

# Toba Spitzer
**Toba Spitzer** is an American rabbi, writer, and activist. She is the first openly lesbian or gay rabbi to head a rabbinical organization in the United States.
## Early life and education {#early_life_and_education}
Toba Spitzer is a native of Chevy Chase, Maryland and grew up in a non-observant Jewish family. However, as a child her family attended a havurah in the D.C. area. She studied at Harvard University graduating in 1986, and then spent a year in Jaffa, Israel working for Friendship\'s Way, an after-school program for Jewish and Arab students. There, she taught Hebrew and Arabic and assisted in opening a community center. Upon returning to the U.S. she worked as a political activist in Washington, DC registering young people to vote and working for the Jewish Peace Lobby, where she helped to build a Jewish advocacy group promoting a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., she realized she wanted her activism to be anchored in religion and in 1992 enrolled in the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. When she entered rabbinical school she was warned that \"out\" graduates would not able to find a job. Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, who was out when she graduated in 1990, shared that she could not find a pulpit job upon graduating. However, when Spitzer\'s class graduated in 1997, three \"out\" rabbis including two lesbians and one gay man, were hired by congregations that had been through a workshop series created by the Reconstructionist movement designed to help congregations be welcoming to gay and lesbian rabbis.
## Career
Since 1997 Spitzer has served as the rabbi of Congregation Dorshei Tzedek in West Newton, Massachusetts. At the time the congregation had 37 households, most of whom were straight couples who lived in Newton. In 2012 it had 190 households with a more diverse membership including gays and lesbians, singles and single parents. Given members were also economically diverse, the synagogue devised a dues structure where everyone was asked to pay a minimum amount and those with more means asked to pay an additional 0.09-1.6% of their income. By 2024, the synagogue had grown to approximately 260 households.
In 2007, she was elected to a two-year term as president of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association, becoming the first openly gay rabbi to lead any national rabbinical association. She praised her denomination for its courage and tolerance and believed this appointment contributed to her being named one of the 50 most influential rabbis in the United States by Newsweek in 2007 and 2008. She was also included on the Forward lists *Forward 50* (2007) and *50 Female Rabbis Who Are Making A Difference* (2010).
For Spitzer, her rabbinate is an extension of her commitment to peace and justice. She is known for her Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts and for her economic justice work with groups such as the Jewish Funds for Justice (now Bend the Arc). She has served as treasurer of Truah: the Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, on the advisory board of J Street and co-chaired the Boston chapter of the J Street Rabbinic Cabinet. In 2015, she received the \"Elizabeth Wyner Mark Peace Award\" from Americans for Peace Now, and in 2024 was honored with the \"Rabbinic Human Rights Hero Award\" from Truah. In April 2024 she was part of a group of about 30 rabbis with Rabbis for Ceasefire trying to take food supplies into Gaza who were stopped near the Gaza-Israel border. Spitzer noted that Jewish and Palestinian liberation are interconnected.
Spitzer has written essays and sermons, some of which are on the Reconstructing Judaism and Congregation Dorshei Tzedek websites. She is the author of the book *God Is Here: Reimagining the Divine* (2022). After being contacted by literary agents starting in 2007 who had read her sermons online and thought there was potential for a book, she met with them in 2011 and realized they wanted her to write a book about God. *God is Here* aims to make the divine accessible through metaphors from nature, such as water, fire, and rock. It emphasizes practical spiritual practices and a re-envisioned language for God, in order to nourish and guide individuals on their spiritual journeys. By blending personal narratives with insights from Jewish tradition and contemporary sources, it seeks to provide multiple pathways to experience and connect with the divine

# Unipedalism
A **uniped** (from Latin *uni-* \"one\" and *ped-* \"foot\") is a person or creature with only one foot and one leg, as contrasted with a biped (two legs) and a quadruped (four legs). Moving using only one leg is known as **unipedal** movement. Many bivalvia and nearly all gastropoda molluscs have evolved only one foot. Through accidents (i.e. amputation) or birth abnormalities it is also possible for an animal, including humans, to end up with only a single leg.
## In fiction and mythology {#in_fiction_and_mythology}
One major study of mythological unipeds is Teresa Pàroli (2009): \"How many are the unipeds\' feet? Their tracks in texts and sources\", in *Analecta Septentrionalia: Beiträge zur nordgermanischen Kultur- und Literaturgeschichte*, ed. by Wilhelm Heizmann, Klaus Böldl and Heinrich Beck (Berlin/London/New York: De Gruyter), pp. 281--327.
- In the *Saga of Erik the Red*, a native of Vinland who is described as being one-legged kills one of Eric\'s men (his brother). In the children\'s fiction book *They Came on Viking Ships* by Jackie French, a uniped is a one-legged Norse mythical creature that lived in the south of Vinland during the time of the expedition of Freydís Eiríksdóttir.
- The sciapod was another mythical one-legged humanoid.
- In Japanese mythology and folklore, some *yōkai* such as the karakasa-obake and the ippon-datara have one leg.
- In the Narnia book *The Voyage of the Dawn Treader* by C. S. Lewis, the heroes meet the \"Dufflepuds\". These are two-legged dwarfs who have been rendered one-legged by their master, a wizard. He did this to force them to use the water from the stream next to their food garden, rather than walking miles to get the water.
- In Brazilian folklore, there is a mythical humanoid uniped called \"Saci\" who appears in several tales and is associated with dustdevils. Colombian folklore has a female version of this monster, the \"Patasola\".
- In Mayan mythology, God K and his equivalents are represented with one leg. One of these equivalents is the K\'iche\' Maya storm deity Huracan, whose name means \"one-leg\".
- In the Indian epic Mahabharata, there is a mention of a Southern Indian tribe of humans named \'Ekapada\' (literally \'one-footed\') living, which Sahadeva conquers.
- In Hindu culture, there is a form of the god Shiva known as Ekapada

# Shuckstack
35.48556 -83.815 region:US_type:mountain display=title**Shuckstack** is a mountain in the Great Smoky Mountains of Swain County, North Carolina, in the southeastern United States. It has an elevation of 4020 ft above sea level and rises approximately 2300 ft above Fontana Lake to the south.
A historic fire tower stands at the summit of Shuckstack, offering a panoramic view of the western Smokies, Yellow Creek, Unicoi Mountains, Cheoah, and the Nantahala National Forest. Although no longer in use, the fire tower is accessible to the public. The summit of Shuckstack is accessed via the Appalachian Trail and a short spur trail. The spur trail is marked by a T-shaped white blaze and is approximately 3.5 mi from the parking lot on the north side of Fontana Dam. It is considered a strenuous hike with rapid elevation gain---approximately 2300 ft.
Along with the fire tower, the summit of Shuckstack also hosts the chimney, foundation, and cistern of what was once a fire watchman\'s cabin along with several outcroppings of Precambrian Ocoee Supergroup sandstone

# St Edmund's College, Ipswich
**St Edmund\'s College** (known colloquially as **Eddies**) is an independent Catholic secondary day school for boys, located in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. The school was founded by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in 1892 and is conducted in the tradition of Edmund Ignatius Rice.
The school is a member of the Associated Independent Colleges of the Greater Brisbane region along with Marist College Ashgrove, Iona College, Padua College, Villanova College, St Patrick\'s College, St Laurence\'s College and St. Peters Lutheran College.
St Edmund\'s College accepts students from Years 7 to 12, drawing from a wide area of Ipswich. At the beginning of 2025 the college will reintroduce years 5 and 6.
## History
In 1891, the first foundation stone for the Brothers\' residence was laid, and in February 1892 after a grand opening by the Archbishop Robert Dunne the Christian Brothers moved in.
The original St Edmunds Christian Brothers building was used until 1961, and is now used by St Mary\'s Primary School, still located on the corner of Mary & Elizabeth St, Woodend, besides the church. In fact, to this day the heritage listed gate at that stone wall still features the original St Edmunds initials CBC (Christian Brothers College).
On the 21st of February, 1965, the foundation stone for the new building was blessed by Reverend Sir James Duhig and laid by the then current mayor of Ipswich, Alderman J. T. Finimore. This was the time the name was of the College was changed from Christian Brothers\' College to St Edmund\'s Christian Brothers\' College.
In 1998, Br Ted Magee was the last Christian Brother principal to serve the college.
In 2006, Br Ambrose Purcell was the last Christian Brother to serve as a member of staff, moving back to Sudan to continue his mission work.
## Skool 2 Skoolies {#skool_2_skoolies}

+-------------+-----------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
In 1995, the four houses at St Edmund's changed their names, which coincided with the college moving from year levels to a Pastoral System.
- Hogan became Rice (yellow)
- Ryall became Callan (green)
- Carroll became Morgan (blue)
- Stevens became Treacy (red)
In 2003, due to an increase in student numbers, these house were split in half, creating eight houses: Callan 1, Callan 2, Rice 1, Rice 2, Morgan 1, Morgan 2, Treacy 1 and Treacy 2.
At the end of 2006, further change came when these eight houses were folded into six for the following year, with the addition of two new houses, Finn and Ambrose.
In 2013, two more houses were created in preparation of Year 7 returning to St Edmund's College in 2015. These two house were named Ignatius and Elliott.

# Alonso Sánchez
**Alonso Sánchez de Huelva** was an alleged 15th-century mariner and merchant born in Huelva, Spain, on Andalusia\'s Atlantic coast.
After the European discovery of America, several rumors started to spread, especially among the conquistadores, claiming that America had not been discovered by Columbus, but that its existence was known at least 20 years before 1492. Bartolomé de las Casas (1484--1566) had indeed heard several of those claims, but limited himself to record them in the 1540s, in *Historia de las Indias*, which was not published until after his death. Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (1539--1616) was the first to name, in 1609, one of these mysterious alleged first European discoverers of America: *Alonso Sánchez de Huelva*.
## Purported voyage to America {#purported_voyage_to_america}
The most famous of these accounts is that of the Duchess of Medina Sidonia (1936--2008), who believed that Columbus\' discovery was the instrument by means of which the Catholic Monarchs of Spain were able to officialize the discovery (supposedly made well before 1492, and kept secret hitherto). According to the Duchess, the international political situation of the second half of the 15th century was not favourable to the Catholic Monarchs, who before 1492 would have faced strong opposition to any claim over the newly found lands, especially from Portugal, France and the Holy See, the latter two at war with the Kingdom of Aragon. In order to ensure the ownership of those new lands, and lacking the resources for facing the consequences of an early claim, they waited until 1492, when Alexander VI, an Aragonese, was elected pope, thus ensuring the papacy siding with them. In 1492 they would have sent Columbus on an official voyage to the West, knowing that he would find new territories and lay claim for them in the name of the Catholic Monarchs. The Duchess believed Alonso Sánchez to be the true discoverer, offering several stories, contemporary records and weak proofs for her claims.
Indeed, any of those stories are widely regarded as false.
According to the tale reported in 1609 by Garcilaso in his book *Comentarios Reales de los Incas*, Alonso Sánchez used to sail quite often between the Canary Islands, Madeira and Spain, engaged in some sort of triangular commerce. In 1484 (or a year more or less), while on passage between the Canary Islands and Madeira, he was surprised by a fierce storm that blew his ship drastically off-course into unknown waters of the mid-Atlantic. The small ship, slightly damaged by the storm, encountered unfavorable winds and currents that dragged it further to the southwest. After 28 or 29 days, Sánchez and his frightened crew finally sighted land, probably the island of Hispaniola (Santo Domingo), where they landed to determine their position, document what happened and what they saw, replenish their stocks of fresh water and wood, before returning to Spain. During that return trip, which took very long, the ship ran out of fresh water and food, men became very ill, and only five out of the initial 17 men on board, including Sánchez, survived to meet and tell Christopher Columbus of their adventure, before all finally dying of exhaustion in his house.
Later chroniclers narrated instead that Sánchez and his crew continued along the unknown coast until they encountered signs of human habitation, and, at long last, disembarked at a coastal village where they were hospitably received. The natives were impressed with these strangers chiefly because they were taller in stature than themselves and bearded. (The natives were uniformly beardless.) More significantly, the natives communicated to the Spaniards that their mythos held that, eventually, their gods would come from the sea to visit them. The natives gave their \"divine\" visitors food and gold; they even offered the strangers their women as gifts. (Some believe that syphilis was introduced to the Old World through these acts of generosity.)
After a short sojourn among the natives, the Spaniards began to prepare for their return trip. Sánchez made certain calculations based on his ship\'s log and his estimates of his ship\'s course on its outbound leg. The return voyage required about a month at sea, and they hardly made it to Porto Santo Island, in Madeira. It was while recovering from their voyage in Porto Santo that Alonso met Christopher Columbus (who lived in Porto Santo during the 1480s), to whom he related the story of his amazing adventure.
Some believe that the information provided by Sánchez, regarding headings and distances, influenced Columbus\' plans. Others believe that Alonso Sánchez never existed, and that he was simply part of an attempt by the Pinzón brothers to discredit Columbus\' skills as a navigator.
Indeed, no document from the time tells about any Alonso Sánchez from Huelva, and everything known about him comes from the writers that told his story well after Columbus\' death. Moreover, several authors have claimed Sánchez to be from Portugal, Biscay or some other parts of Andalusia. However, some historians, starting with José Ceballos in 1762, have claimed the account by Inca Garcilaso de la Vega to be true.
In the city of Huelva, Sánchez\'s purported birthplace, there are a number of memorials to him. There is a statue of Sánchez in the city park that commemorates the voyages of Columbus, 12 October Park, by sculptor León Ortega. There is also a smaller park in Huelva named for him, as well as a public high school

# Sau Mau Ping Estate
`{{infobox chinese |c=秀茂坪邨 |showflag=y |j=sau3 mau6 ping4 cyun1 |y=sau mauh pìhng chyūn}}`{=mediawiki}
**Sau Mau Ping Estate** (`{{zh|t=秀茂坪邨}}`{=mediawiki}) is one of the earliest public housing estates in Kwun Tong District, New Kowloon, Hong Kong. It has 18 tenement blocks, providing a total of 12,310 rental flats. Each of them has a size of 10.6 to. A total of 38,833 residents currently live in the 11,912 households on the Sau Mau Ping Estate.`{{when|date=May 2014}}`{=mediawiki}
**Hiu Lai Court** (`{{zh|t=曉麗苑|labels=no}}`{=mediawiki}) is a Home Ownership Scheme court beneath Sau Mau Ping Estate. It has a total of eight blocks built in 1997. `{{TOC limit|2}}`{=mediawiki}
## History
After the World War II, the population of Hong Kong grew rapidly. Therefore, the Hong Kong government decided to build a resettlement area in Sau Mau Ping, which was then known as the Sau Mau Ping Resettlement Area. This resettlement area later became the Sau Mau Ping Estate as it is today.
The development of Sau Mau Ping Resettlement Area (or the later Sau Mau Ping Estate) can be divided into six phases:
### Phase 1 {#phase_1}
The first phase of the estate\'s development starts at lower Sau Mau Ping, and was completed during 1964--1966. It consisted of the building of Blocks 1--17, which are all 7-storey L-shaped resettlement buildings. The Blocks 1--17 was collectively called Sau Mau Ping (IV) Estate.
All buildings in phase 1 were demolished in 1992. They were later reconstructed and became the current Hiu Lai Court.
### Phase 2 {#phase_2}
The second phase of development was the construction of Blocks 32--41 at regions currently known as central Sau Mau Ping. Blocks 34--41 were completed during 1966--1967, and are then collectively called Sau Mau Ping (III) Estate. Blocks 32--33 were completed later in 1969.
Blocks 32--33 were demolished in 1997, and are reconstructed to become the current Sau Mau Ping Shopping Centre. Blocks 34--36 were also demolished in the same year, and the site was used for the reconstruction of 4 Harmony-style public rental housing building, currently known as Sau Nga House (`{{zh|t=秀雅樓|labels=no}}`{=mediawiki}), Sau Yee House (`{{zh|t=秀義樓|labels=no}}`{=mediawiki}), Sau Hong House (`{{zh|t=秀康樓|labels=no}}`{=mediawiki}) and Sau Lok House (`{{zh|t=秀樂樓|labels=no}}`{=mediawiki}). Blocks 37--41 were demolished in 2001.
### Phase 3 {#phase_3}
The third phase consisted of only two blocks, Blocks 26--27. They have a special structure resembles that of Block 66 in Tsz Wan Shan Resettlement Area, in which they are connected with each other to form a long building.
However, the two blocks were demolished as early as in 1989 because of safety concerns.
### Phase 4 {#phase_4}
Phase 4 of the development involves the construction of Blocks 31, which then combines with the existing Blocks 32 and 33 to form a complex. The construction of the resettlement complex completed during 1968--1970. Later on, the ground floor of the complex became a marketplace. The complex was demolished in 1997.
### Phase 5 {#phase_5}
The fifth phase of the development involved the construction of Blocks 19--20 and 28--30, which were completed in 1970. After the completion of Phase 5, Blocks 19--31 was collectively named as Sau Mau Ping (I) Estate.
Block 18 was planned to be built in Phase 5 development of Sau Mau Ping, at the site of the current Sau Ming House (`{{zh|t=秀明樓|labels=no}}`{=mediawiki}). The construction work has never been carried out due to practical difficulties.
Blocks 28--30 were demolished in 1997, and Blocks 19--20 were demolished in 2001.
### Phase 6 {#phase_6}
The sixth phase consisted of Blocks 21--25, completed in 1971, and Blocks 42--45, completed in 1973. All these blocks are collectively named as Sau Mau Ping (II) Estate.
Blocks 42--45 were demolished in 1996 due to structural problems. The site was rebuilt into three buildings of the current Sau Mau Ping Estate, namely Sau Ching House (`{{zh|t=秀程樓|labels=no}}`{=mediawiki}), Sau Yue House (`{{zh|t=秀裕樓|labels=no}}`{=mediawiki}) and Sau Fai House (`{{zh|t=秀暉樓|labels=no}}`{=mediawiki}).
### Phases 7 & 8 {#phases_7_8}
By the end of 2000, the Hong Kong Housing Authority has decided to demolish and rebuild at the site of the old Sau Mau Ping Estate, which were condemned in 2003. The redevelopment project was finally completed in July 2009, and the new public rental housing estate was named Sau Mau Ping Estate, the same name as the original one. They were occupied in 3rd quarter of 2009.

## Notable events {#notable_events}
### Gang murder {#gang_murder}
On 14 May 1997, the chilling torture and murder of 16-year-old Luk Chi-wai (陸志偉) nicknamed "Chicken" (阿雞) took place and shocked the city at the time. "Chicken" Luk was at the time of death was a part of a youth gang. The gang unfortunately began targeting then 30-year-old mentally retarded man; Chan Muk-Ching (陳木清) nicknamed "No. 3 uncle" (三叔) who "Chicken" Luk happened to be close to. When "Chicken" Luk told "No. 3 uncle" to report the bullying to the police, word of it got to the ringleader; then 17-year-old Hui Chi-Wai (許智偉) who decided to teach "Chicken" a lesson. As a result, "Chicken" was lured into "No. 3 uncle"'s flat where he was dragged in by the other gang members, and with Hui overseeing the situation, "Chicken" was tortured, beaten, forced to eat cigarette butts, and ultimately murdered by his fellow gang members. As a result, his action was considered betrayal by his fellow gang and he was beaten with fists, kicked and attacked with blunt weapons until death, then his body was burned in a trash bag. As a result, those convicted (all juveniles) served life sentences with Hui sentenced to 26 years. At the time, it was reported that the background of those convicted where the sons of Thai women working as domestic workers, and suffered from abuse by said Thai mothers. And much like how debates were spawned over the role violent video games played in the Columbine High School shooting in America, scrutiny was sparked regarding media that glorified and romanticize gang lifestyle; namely the Teddy Boy (古惑仔) comics.
In 1999, a movie; Street Kids Violence (三五成群) was released which is based on this case.
### COVID-19 pandemic {#covid_19_pandemic}
Three buildings were placed under lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. Sau Yee House was sealed off on 25 February 2022, Sau Ming House on 26 February, and Sau Fu House on 27 February.

# GWR 7800 Class 7812 Erlestoke Manor
**7812 *Erlestoke Manor*** is a preserved GWR 7800 Class steam locomotive, operated by the Great Western Railway and later British Railways. Owned by the Erlestoke Manor Fund, as at December 2022 it was in operational condition on the Severn Valley Railway.
## GWR/BR operations {#gwrbr_operations}
Built at Swindon Works in January 1939, it was first allocated to Bristol Bath Road depot. It was reallocated to `{{rws|Newton Abbot}}`{=mediawiki} in August 1950, and Plymouth Laira in March 1959. Transferred to Oswestry in May 1960, its final allocation was to `{{rws|Shrewsbury}}`{=mediawiki} in February 1963.
Withdrawn from British Railways service in November 1965, it was sent to Woodham Brothers scrapyard in Barry, South Wales.
## Preservation
The locomotive was purchased by the Erlestoke Manor Fund in June 1973. It was moved from Barry to a temporary home at the Dowty Railway Preservation Society, Ashchurch in May 1974, pending an eventual move to the Dean Forest Railway. However in 1976 Fund members approved a move to the Severn Valley Railway instead, where restoration was completed and the locomotive entered service in 1979. Withdrawn in 1985, it returned to service on 12 February 2008, as part of the SVR\'s anniversary reopening train.
Presently one of three GWR 7800 Manor Class locomotives based at the SVR, the other two being 7802 *Bradley Manor* (which is also owned by the Erlestoke Manor Fund) and GWR 7819 *Hinton Manor*. 7812\'s boiler ticket expired in January 2018, after which the locomotive was moved to Tyseley Locomotive Works for overhaul. It re-entered service in April 2023.
## Olympic Torch run {#olympic_torch_run}
During the 2012 Summer Olympics torch relay for the London 2012 Olympics, 7812 carried the Olympic torch and its bearer Chris Stokes from Bewdley to Kidderminster with a brief stop outside West Midland Safari Park
