# Moana, South Australia
## Attractions
Moana has a sandy beach with beginner surfing waves, so is popular with families. Moana Surf Life Saving Club patrols the beach in summer and has a beachfront cafe called Duke\'s, named after the Hawaiian surfer who visited Australia and helped popularize the sport. Deep Blue Cafe, expanded from the original small kiosk, is opposite the surf club. There is a playground between them next to grassed and barbecue areas. Further shops in the suburb include a fish and chip shop and health food shop. A monthly market is held at the Pioneer\'s Memorial Hall, which has an anchor from the Nashwauk shipwreck in front.
Moana is one of the last beaches in Adelaide where a vehicle can be driven onto the beach and parked legally, so becomes a popular tourist destination in good weather. Takeaway food options make it a destination on summer nights.
In 2008 the foreshore area of \"old survey\" Moana has undergone redevelopment by the local council, with improvements to the road, walkway, and sea wall. A new toilet block and shaded \"gazebo\", the latter shaped in the form of a seagull, have been added to the foreshore area. On warm nights this foreshore area can become a site where buskers perform for passers by, or people draw chalk mandalas.
A sloping ramp at the north end of the foreshore that originally provided access to the beach was damaged by erosion of the cliffs during storm activity in 2007. Several ramps and a staircase provided beach access along the cliff and esplanade. Access infrastructure to the beach continues to be impacted by storm surges increasing in frequency due to climate change, requiring council maintenance and repair.
The Willunga Basin Trail now extends to Moana Beach along Pedler Creek, catering to walkers and hikers. Threatened species such as the hooded plover nest in the dunes, attracting bird watchers, though chicks\' survival is threatened by dog walking and vehicles driving near the dunes

## History
The town was first recorded in 1010. In 1270 it received the right to hold a market from Louis II, Duke of Bavaria as recorded in an Urbarium. It was a commercial center due to its location on the Vils and Lauterach rivers, as well as the site of one of the largest hammer works in that era. The city was a local seat of government and belonged to the Munich line of the House of Wittelsbach. In 1505, Schmidmühlen was incorporated along with other properties of Bavarian Nordgau in the newly created Duchy of Pfalz-Neuburg.
The border of the Upper Palatinate was three kilometers to the north, which always led to clashes, especially with the powerful city of Amberg.
During the War of Spanish Succession, the so-called Battle of Schmidmühlen took place in 1703.
With Karl Theodor von Pfalz-Sulzbach becoming Elector Duke of Bavaria in 1778 government takeover, the area was again part of the Electorate of Bavaria, but the areas were incorporated only after the Napoleonic Wars of the Upper Palatinate. Schmidmühlen possessed a market court with magisterial proper rights.
As part of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, in the community edict (the \'Gemeindeedikt von 1818\') of 1818, the present municipality, which was closely linked to Burglengenfeld as a seat of justice and later as county seat until the local reform.
Today Schmidmühlen is the southernmost municipality of Amberg-Sulzbach. This brought a reorientation in the north, which had started 100 years ago with the construction of the railway line Amberg-Schmidmühlen (1910-1985, now part of the Five Rivers Cycle Route)

# 1982 Five Nations Championship
The **1982 Five Nations Championship** was the fifty-third series of the rugby union Five Nations Championship. Including the previous incarnations as the Home Nations and Five Nations, this was the eighty-eighth series of the northern hemisphere rugby union championship. Ten matches were played between 16 January and 20 March. The winner of the championship was Ireland, with three wins and one defeat. It was the team\'s ninth title (excluding seven previous other titles which were shared). Ireland also won the Triple Crown, its fifth such honour, its first since 1949 and last one until 1985. The team\'s only defeat came on the final day of the competition, losing 22-9 to France in Paris, denying the Irish what would have been only their second ever Grand Slam.
Wales\'s defeat by Scotland was their first loss at home in a Five Nations championship match since France won at Cardiff in March 1968.
The Ireland vs Wales game was delayed by a week due to a frozen pitch in Dublin

# Super Trouper (spotlight)
**Super Trouper** is a registered trademark for a series of follow spotlights used in stadium, concert, and special-event lighting. The lights are manufactured by Strong Lighting of Omaha, Nebraska, which acquired the Super Trouper and its larger cousin, the Gladiator, from its former manufacturer Syncrolite who had acquired them from Ballantyne Strong of Omaha, Nebraska (originally Strong Electric Corporation of Toledo, Ohio) in November 2016.
## History
The lights were first manufactured in 1956. Initially, the Super Trouper utilized a high-intensity carbon arc lamp. In the 1980s, as carbon arc lamps fell into decreasing use, the spotlight began to employ a high-intensity xenon lamp as its light source.
With very few exceptions, Strong has maintained a consistent design on Super Trouper models since the first xenon-type models were introduced in the late 1970s.`{{clarify|date=January 2022}}`{=mediawiki} Initially the reflector unit was composed of electroformed nickel with a rhodium plating. Today, Super Trouper follow spots are manufactured using a similarly designed nickel reflector, though a dichroic coating has supplanted the rhodium coating.
The xenon-type Super Troupers had utilized a larger \"AC\" igniter assembly, which had been specially designed to function with the original high-reactance power supplies. As suggested by the name however, Super Troupers were intended for portability and \"trouping\" and the bulky 200 lb plus power supplies were not conducive to travel environments.Strong introduced their first version of the solid-state switching 1 kW-3 kW power supply for their xenon follow spots in 1988, without having to engineer any modifications to the Super Trouper\'s operational design. This new solid-state power supply unit weighed in at approximately 65 lb, which was roughly one third the weight of its high-reactance predecessor.
Strong introduced the Super Trouper II model xenon follow spot in 1995 as the first new follow spot design since the xenon Gladiator III in 1983. With it, Strong also released a new \"DC\" ignitor assembly, which was a simpler and more reliable version of its predecessor: the \"AC\" ignitor. It allowed for a shorter ignition time and required less space than the standard AC ignitors found in standard Super Trouper followspots.
Then, in 1997, with the introduction of Strong\'s new, compact 1 kW-3 kW switching power supply it became clear that the existing AC ignitor assemblies in the original Super Trouper (and not Super Trouper II\'s) were not functionally compatible with the new power supplies. Over the next several years, DC ignitor assemblies began to gradually replace the older AC ignitors.
The Super Trouper line of xenon follow spots is inclusive of four production models: Super Trouper Long Throw, Super Trouper Short Throw, Super Trouper Medium Throw, and Super Trouper II. Each model is available in either a 1600 watt or a 2000 watt variety.
As of early 2023, Strong Lighting continues to manufacture limited quantities of the Super Trouper for special orders at their facility in La Vista, Nebraska.
## In popular culture {#in_popular_culture}
The Super Trouper is also the subject of the 1980 ABBA song of the same name, and in turn the title of the group\'s seventh studio album *Super Trouper*. The cover of the album, designed by Rune Söderqvist, depicts the group standing under a spotlight.
\"Super Trouper\" is also the title of a rock song by Deep Purple (on their 1973 album \"Who Do We Think We Are\"). It describes how the Super Trouper makes the performer on stage shine while blinding him (literally and figuratively)

# Maximal ergodic theorem
The **maximal ergodic theorem** is a theorem in ergodic theory, a discipline within mathematics.
Suppose that $(X, \mathcal{B},\mu)$ is a probability space, that $T : X\to X$ is a (possibly noninvertible) measure-preserving transformation, and that $f\in L^1(\mu,\mathbb{R})$. Define $f^*$ by
$$f^* = \sup_{N\geq 1} \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=0}^{N-1} f \circ T^i.$$ Then the maximal ergodic theorem states that
$$\int_{f^{*} > \lambda} f \, d\mu \ge \lambda \cdot \mu\{ f^{*} > \lambda\}$$ for any λ ∈ **R**.
This theorem is used to prove the point-wise ergodic theorem

# 1952 Washington, D.C. UFO incident
thumb\|upright=1.35\|Washington National Airport terminal in 1944 `{{Ufo}}`{=mediawiki}
From July 12 to 29, 1952, a series of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings were reported in Washington, D.C., and later became known as the **Washington flap**, the **Washington National Airport Sightings**, or the **Invasion of Washington**. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19--20 and July 26--27. UFO historian Curtis Peebles called the incident \"the climax of the 1952 (UFO) flap\"---\"Never before or after did Project Blue Book and the Air Force undergo such a tidal wave of (UFO) reports.\" this went on to become one of the most known UFO sightings ever.
## 1952 UFO flap {#ufo_flap}
The 1952 UFO flap was an unprecedented rash of media attention to unidentified flying object reports during the summer of 1952 that culminated with reports of sightings over Washington, D.C. In the four years prior, the US Air Force had chronicled a total of 615 UFO reports; during the 1952 flap, they received over 717 new reports. Project Blue Book director Edward J. Ruppelt later recalled: \"During a six-month period in 1952\... 148 of the nation\'s leading newspapers carried a total of over 16,000 items about flying saucers.\"
On May 12, an explosion in Seattle led to public speculation of a \'flying saucer\'.
On April 3, the Associated Press reported on an upcoming story in *Life* magazine that would reveal the Air Force was taking a serious interest in flying saucers. The June edition of *Look* magazine featured a story where astrophysicist Donald Howard Menzel proposed flying saucers were optical mirages created by temperature inversions. American papers covered similar statements from French astronomer Ernest Esclangon who debunked the \"flying saucer reports\" by explaining they could not be supersonic craft because no sonic booms were reported.
On April 7, *Life* magazine, featuring Marilyn Monroe on its cover, published the Flying Saucer article under the title \"Have We Visitors From Space?\", becoming the most reputable outlet to seriously consider the possibility that flying saucer reports might be caused by extra-terrestrial spaceships. Publicity surrounding the piece is believed to have contributed to the subsequent wave of reports that summer.
In his book, Ruppelt argued \"If you can pin down a date that the Big Flap started, it would probably be about June 1.\" That day, a UFO report was filed by Hughes Aircraft Company in Los Angeles. On July 1, two F-94s scrambled to intercept a UFO over Boston. On July 14, the Nash-Fortenberry UFO sighting was reported over Chesapeake Bay, when two commercial pilots (William B. Nash and William H. Fortenberry) claimed to have seen eight UFOs flying in a tight echelon formation.

# 1952 Washington, D.C. UFO incident
## Sightings over Washington, D.C. {#sightings_over_washington_d.c.}
At the height of the UFO flap, there were UFOs reported at the nation\'s capital on two consecutive Saturday nights.
### Night of July 19 {#night_of_july_19}
At 11:40 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, 1952, Edward Nugent, an air traffic controller at Washington National Airport, spotted seven objects on his radar. The objects were located 15 miles (24 km) south-southwest of the city; no known aircraft were in the area, and the objects were not following any established flight paths. Nugent\'s superior, Harry Barnes, a senior air-traffic controller at the airport, watched the objects on Nugent\'s radarscope. He later wrote: \"We knew immediately that a very strange situation existed \... their movements were completely radical compared to those of ordinary aircraft.\"
Barnes had two controllers check Nugent\'s radar; they found that it was working normally. Barnes then called National Airport\'s radar-equipped control tower; the controllers there, Howard Cocklin and Joe Zacko, said that they also had unidentified blips on their radar screen, and saw a hovering \"bright light\" in the sky, which departed with incredible speed. Cocklin asked Zacko, \"Did you see that? What the hell was that?\"
At this point, other objects appeared in all sectors of the radarscope; when they moved over the White House and the United States Capitol, Barnes called Andrews Air Force Base, located 10 miles (16 km) from National Airport. Although Andrews reported that they had no unusual objects on their radar, an airman soon called the base\'s control tower to report the sighting of a strange object. Airman William Brady, who was in the tower, then saw an \"object which appeared to be like an orange ball of fire, trailing a tail \... \[it was\] unlike anything I had ever seen before.\" As Brady tried to alert the other personnel in the tower, the strange object \"took off at an unbelievable speed.
On one of National Airport\'s runways, S.C. Pierman, a Capital Airlines pilot, was waiting in the cockpit of his DC-4 for permission to take off. After spotting what he believed to be a meteor, he was told that the control tower\'s radar had detected unknown objects closing in on his position. Pierman observed six objects---\"white, tailless, fast-moving lights\"---over a 14-minute period. Pierman was in radio contact with Barnes during his sighting, and Barnes later related that \"each sighting coincided with a pip we could see near his plane. When he reported that the light streaked off at a high speed, it disappeared on our scope.\"
Meanwhile, at Andrews Air Force Base, the control tower personnel were tracking on radar what some thought to be unknown objects, but others suspected, and in one instance were able to prove, were simply stars and meteors. However, Staff Sgt. Charles Davenport observed an orange-red light to the south; the light \"would appear to stand still, then make an abrupt change in direction and altitude \... this happened several times.\" At one point both radar centers at National Airport and the radar at Andrews Air Force Base were tracking an object hovering over a radio beacon. The object vanished in all three radar centers at the same time.
At 3 a.m., shortly before two United States Air Force F-94 Starfire jet fighters from New Castle Air Force Base in Delaware arrived over Washington, all of the objects vanished from the radar at National Airport. However, when the jets ran low on fuel and left, the objects returned, which convinced Barnes that \"the UFOs were monitoring radio traffic and behaving accordingly\". The objects were last detected by radar at 5:30 a.m.
### Publicity and Air Force reaction {#publicity_and_air_force_reaction}
The sightings of July 19--20, 1952, made front-page headlines in newspapers around the nation. A typical example was the headline from the *Cedar Rapids Gazette* in Iowa. It read \"SAUCERS SWARM OVER CAPITAL\" in large black type. By coincidence, USAF Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, the supervisor of the Air Force\'s Project Blue Book investigation into UFO sightings, was in Washington at the time. However, he did not learn about the sightings until Monday, July 21, when he read the headlines in a Washington-area newspaper. After talking with intelligence officers at the Pentagon about the sightings, Ruppelt spent several hours trying to obtain a staff car so he could travel around Washington to investigate the sightings, but was refused as only generals and senior colonels could use staff cars. He was told that he could rent a taxicab with his own money; by this point Ruppelt was so frustrated that he left Washington and flew back to Blue Book\'s headquarters at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. Upon returning to Dayton, Ruppelt spoke with an Air Force radar specialist, Captain Roy James, who felt that unusual weather conditions could have caused the unknown radar targets. On July 24, two Air Force colonels took off from Hamilton Air Force Base bound for Colorado Springs; they reported witnessing unidentified triangular objects.

### Night of July 26 {#night_of_july_26}
At 8:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, 1952, a pilot and stewardess on a National Airlines flight into Washington observed some lights above their plane. Within minutes, both radar centers at National Airport, and the radar at Andrews AFB, were tracking more unknown objects. USAF master sergeant Charles E. Cummings visually observed the objects at Andrews, he later said that \"these lights did not have the characteristics of shooting stars. There was \[sic\] no trails \... they traveled faster than any shooting star I have ever seen.\"
Meanwhile, Albert M. Chop, the press spokesman for Project Blue Book, arrived at National Airport and, due to security concerns, denied several reporters\' requests to photograph the radar screens. He then joined the radar center personnel. By this time (9:30 p.m.) the radar center was detecting unknown objects in every sector. At times the objects traveled slowly; at other times they reversed direction and moved across the radarscope at speeds calculated at up to 7,000 mph (11,250 km/h). At 11:30 p.m., two U.S. Air Force F-94 Starfire jet fighters from New Castle Air Force Base in Delaware arrived over Washington. Captain John McHugo, the flight leader, was vectored towards the radar blips but saw nothing, despite repeated attempts. However, his wingman, Lieutenant William Patterson, did see four white \"glows\" and chased them. He told investigators that \"I tried to make contact with the bogies below 1,000 feet,\" and that \"I was at my maximum speed but\...I ceased chasing them because I saw no chance of overtaking them.\" According to Albert Chop, when ground control asked Patterson \"if he saw anything\", Patterson replied {{\"\'}}I see them now and they\'re all around me. What should I do?\'\...And nobody answered, because we didn\'t know what to tell him.\"
After midnight on July 27, USAF Major Dewey Fournet, Project Blue Book\'s liaison at the Pentagon, and Lt. John Holcomb, a United States Navy radar specialist, arrived at the radar center at National Airport. During the night, Lieutenant Holcomb received a call from the Washington National Weather Station. They told him that a slight temperature inversion was present over the city, but Holcomb felt that the inversion was not \"nearly strong enough to explain the \'good and solid\' returns\" on the radar scopes. Fournet relayed that all those present in the radar room were convinced that the targets were most likely caused by solid metallic objects. There had been weather targets on the scope too, he said, but this was a common occurrence and the controllers \"were paying no attention to them\". Two more F-94s from New Castle Air Force Base were scrambled during the night. One pilot saw nothing unusual; the other pilot saw a white light which \"vanished\" when he moved towards it. Civilian aircraft also reported glowing objects that corresponded to radar blips seen by Andrews radar operators. As on July 20, the sightings and unknown radar returns ended at sunrise.

## Air Force explanation {#air_force_explanation}
Air Force Major Generals John Samford, USAF Director of Intelligence, and Roger M. Ramey, USAF Director of Operations, held a well-attended press conference at the Pentagon on July 29, 1952. In his opening comments, he noted that, out of the hundreds of UFO reports in recent years investigated by the Air Force, there was \"a certain percentage of this volume of reports that have been made by credible observers of relatively incredible things\" but that none of them posed any national security threat. At the event, Samford stated that the visual sightings over Washington could be explained as misidentified aerial phenomena such as stars or meteors, and unknown radar targets could be explained by temperature inversion, which was present in the air over Washington on both nights the radar returns were reported. In addition, Samford stated that the unknown radar contacts were not caused by solid material objects, and therefore posed no threat to national security. In response to a question as to whether the Air Force had recorded similar UFO radar contacts prior to the Washington incident, Samford said that there had been \"hundreds\" of such contacts where Air Force fighter interceptions had taken place, but stated that they were all \"fruitless\". It was the largest Pentagon press conference since World War II. Press stories called Samford and Ramey the Air Force\'s two top UFO experts.
Among the witnesses who supported Samford\'s explanation was the crew of a B-25 bomber, which had been flying over Washington during the sightings of July 26--27. The bomber was vectored several times by National Airport over unknown targets on the airport\'s radarscopes, yet the crew could see nothing unusual. Finally, as a crew member related, \"the radar had a target which turned out to be the Wilson Lines steamboat trip to Mount Vernon\... the radar was sure as hell picking up the steamboat.\" Air Force Captain Harold May was in the radar center at Andrews AFB during the sightings of July 19--20. Upon hearing that National Airport\'s radar had picked up an unknown object heading in his direction, May stepped outside and saw \"a light that was changing from red to orange to green to red again\...at times it dipped suddenly and appeared to lose altitude.\" However, May eventually concluded that he was simply seeing a star that was distorted by the atmosphere, and that its \"movement\" was an illusion. At 3 a.m. on July 27, an Eastern Airlines flight over Washington was told that an unknown object was in its vicinity; the crew could see nothing unusual. When they were told that the object had moved directly behind their plane, they began a sharp turn to try to see the object, but were told by National Airport\'s radar center that the object had \"disappeared\" when they began their turn.
At the request of the Air Force, the CAA\'s Technical Development and Evaluation Center did an analysis of the radar sightings. Their conclusion was that \"a temperature inversion had been indicated in almost every instance when the unidentified radar targets or visual objects had been reported.\" Project Blue Book would eventually label the unknown Washington radar blips as false images caused by temperature inversion, and the visual sightings as misidentified meteors, stars, and city lights. In later years two prominent UFO skeptics, Donald Menzel, an astronomer at Harvard University, and Philip Klass, a senior editor for *Aviation Week* magazine, would also argue in favor of the temperature inversion/mirage hypothesis. In 2002 Klass told a reporter that \"radar technology in 1952 wasn\'t sophisticated enough to filter out many ordinary objects, such as flocks of birds, weather balloons, or temperature inversions.\" The reporter added that \"UFO proponents argue that even then seasoned controllers could differentiate between spurious targets and solid, metallic objects. Klass disagrees. It may be that \'we had two dumb controllers at National Airport on those nights\'\...\[Klass\] added that the introduction of digital filters in the 1970s led to a steep decline in UFO sightings on radar.\"
### Criticisms
In his book, *The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects*, author Edward J. Ruppelt wrote that radar and control tower personnel he spoke to, as well as some Air Force officers, disagreed with the Air Force\'s explanation.
Michael Wertheimer, a researcher for the government-funded Condon Report, investigated the case in 1966, and stated that radar witnesses still disputed the Air Force explanation.
Former radar controller Howard Cocklin told the *Washington Post* in 2002 that he was still convinced that he saw an object, stating that \"I saw it on the \[radar\] screen and out the window\" over Washington National Airport.\"

## White House concern and CIA interest {#white_house_concern_and_cia_interest}
The sightings of July 26--27 also made front-page headlines, and led President Harry Truman to have his air force aide call Ruppelt and ask for an explanation of the sightings and unknown radar returns. Truman listened to the conversation between the two men on a separate phone, but did not ask questions himself. Ruppelt, remembering the conversation he had with Captain James, told the president\'s assistant that the sightings might have been caused by a temperature inversion, in which a layer of warm, moist air covers a layer of cool, dry air closer to the ground. This condition can cause radar signals to bend and give false returns. However, Ruppelt had not yet interviewed any of the witnesses or conducted a formal investigation.
CIA historian Gerald Haines, in his 1997 history of the CIA\'s involvement with UFOs, also mentions Truman\'s concern. \"A massive buildup of sightings over the United States in 1952, especially in July, alarmed the Truman administration. On 19 and 20 July, radar scopes at Washington National Airport and Andrews Air Force Base tracked mysterious blips. On 27 July, the blips reappeared.\"
The CIA would react to the 1952 wave of UFO reports by \"forming a special study group within the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) and Office of Current Intelligence (OCI) to review the situation. Edward Tauss reported for the group that most UFO sightings could be easily explained. Nonetheless, he recommended that the Agency continue monitoring the problem.\" The CIA\'s concern with the issue would lead to the creation, in January 1953, of the Robertson Panel.

## The Robertson Panel {#the_robertson_panel}
The extremely high numbers of UFO reports in 1952 disturbed both the Air Force and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Both groups felt that an enemy nation could deliberately flood the U.S. with false UFO reports, causing mass panic and allowing them to launch a sneak attack. On September 24, 1952, the CIA\'s Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) sent a memorandum to Walter B. Smith, the CIA\'s Director. The memo stated that \"the flying saucer situation \... \[has\] national security implications \... \[in\] the public concern with the phenomena \... lies the potential for the touching-off of mass hysteria and panic.\" The result of this memorandum was the creation in January 1953 of the Robertson Panel. Howard P. Robertson, a physicist, chaired the panel, which consisted of prominent scientists and which spent four days examining the \"best\" UFO cases collected by Project Blue Book. The panel dismissed nearly all of the UFO cases it examined as not representing anything unusual or threatening to national security. In the panel\'s controversial estimate, the Air Force and Project Blue Book needed to spend less time analyzing and studying UFO reports and more time publicly debunking them. The panel recommended that the Air Force and Project Blue Book should take steps to \"strip the Unidentified Flying Objects of the special status they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired.\" Following the panel\'s recommendation, Project Blue Book would rarely publicize any UFO case that it had not labeled as \"solved\"; unsolved cases were rarely mentioned by the Air Force.
## In popular culture {#in_popular_culture}
- The tenth and final episode of the first season of the 2019 History Channel television series *Project Blue Book* is titled \"The Washington Merry-Go-Round\". It\'s based on the 1952 Washington, DC UFO incident.
- Several episodes of the 2021 Netflix series *Top Secret UFO Projects Declassified* refer to the 1952 Washington, DC UFO incident, including the first episode \"Project Blue Book Unknown\", which reenacts the incident with CGI and plays archival footage with several former witnesses

# John Birkinshaw
**John Birkinshaw** (1777--1842) was an English railway engineer from Bedlington, Northumberland, noted for his invention of wrought iron rails in 1820 (patented on October 23, 1820).
Up to this point, rail systems had used either wooden rails, which were totally incapable of supporting steam engines, or cast iron rails typically only 3 ft in length. These cast iron rails, developed by William Jessop and others, only allowed very low speeds and broke easily and although steam locomotives had been tested as early as 1804 by Richard Trevithick, these experiments had not been economically successful as the rails frequently broke.
\"John Birkinshaw\'s 1820 patent for rolling wrought-iron rails in 15ft lengths was a vital breakthrough for the infant railway system. Wrought iron was able to withstand the moving load of a locomotive and train unlike cast iron, used for rails until then, which was brittle and fractured all too easily.\"
Birkinshaw\'s wrought iron rails were taken up by George Stephenson in 1821 for the proposed Stockton and Darlington Railway, despite the fact that Stephenson already held the rights to the best cast iron product, and it was this railway that effectively launched the rail era.
## Career
- In 1821, whilst an engineer at Bedlington Ironworks, Birkinshaw developed a new method of rolling wrought iron rails in 15 ft lengths.
- His son John Cass Birkinshaw (1811--1867) worked for Robert Stephenson as an assistant engineer on the London & Birmingham Railway (L&BR), then resident engineer on the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway, and was engineer-in-chief for the Malton and Driffield Railway (MDR).
## Private life {#private_life}
Birkinshaw married at St John\'s, Newcastle upon Tyne on 10 October 1809. He and his wife Ann Cas had eight children:
- John Cass Birkinshaw (1811--1867)
- Henry Birkinshaw (born 1817)
- George Peter Birkenshaw (born 1820)
- William Birkinshaw (born 1822)

## History
thumb\|upright=0.65\|The Doodleman's Fountain with a half-timbered house in the background
It's a good idea to start the history of Dietenhofen with the legend behind its name.\
Many years ago three noble maidens who had got lost in the area were saved by following the sound of a shepherd's horn. They were so grateful that they had a chapel built where they met him, and called the place Dudenhofen. This later became "Dietenhofen".\
One of the most important monuments in Dietenhofen is the St. Andreas Church, which was built about 1000 AD. The church tower was added in the year 1468. There are some interesting old graves in the church and the magnificent old baroque altar is certainly worth seeing.\
A few hundred metres away from the church you can find the local history museum which has also played an important role in Dietenhofen's history. It was built in 1235 and was surrounded by a moat. It was home to Rüdiger von Dietenhofen. In 1523 the building was totally destroyed by fire. In 1822 it was rebuilt, bought by the local government and used as the village school.\
The history would not be complete without mentioning the ruins in Leonrod (a nearby sleepy hamlet). The original building was constructed in 1218 and was also surrounded by a moat. It was home to the Baron of Leonrod and his family until it was accidentally burned down by their own servants in 1651.
Dietenhofen is mentioned in History of the Lombards by Paul the Deacon in AD 785, who also calls the place Villa Totonis.
## Economy
Dietenhofen enjoys a healthy economic situation and has as many jobs to offer, as it has inhabitants. The Dietenhofen firms Playmobil/Lechuza (Geobra Brandstätter GmbH), Herpa and Branofilter are global players.
## Politics
The local council includes 20 voluntary members.
+----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Dietenhofen has two twin towns:\ | - Flavignac in France |
| \ | - Zschorlau in Saxony/Germany |
+----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
Exchanges take place regularly and lasting friendships have been established.
## Leisure and culture {#leisure_and_culture}
Dietenhofen has a recently renovated indoor swimming pool and a sports hall. There are also some playing fields.\
The numerous clubs and music groups on offer make sure that there is something for everybody. Cultural events take place regularly.\

# Generación invisible
**Generación invisible** (*Invisible Generation*) was the first Colombian collective journalistic weblog which started September 2004. Its creator was Christian Pardo Quinn, also known as *gatocpardo*.
It started as a blog aggregator, hosted by Blogger.com, where entries posted by members appeared in a main page. Later, in 2006, they started to publish new material on its own website about several issues. All its members are professional journalists who claim to be \"independent and without antecedents or links with political or economical, legal or illegal, significant activities,\" interested in \"helping to build a better world through the unfading, unlimited cult to the truth\".
*Generación invisible* was awarded with the CPB Journalism Award, internet category, in February 2006. According to the jury, *\"though it has a lack of design, this portal carries out its content function. Its quality lies in being the first window open to every school of thought. It\'s a wide space in a country without many wide spaces to win\"*. At the moment it had 27 members, but as for March 2007 it had 12.
On 6 August 2007, Generación Invisible relaunched its website

# Franck Vigroux
**Franck Vigroux** is a French musician, composer and media artist.
## Background
Vigroux\'s artistic approach integrates new media and performing arts. He is a multifaceted artist whose music works range from electro-acoustic and experimental electronic music to modern composition, improvisation, radio works, avant rock, and beyond. Primarily known as a guitar player, he also manipulates electronics, modular synths and has composed works for contemporary classical ensembles. He is equally prolific as a solo artist and as a collaborator, he has worked with musicians such as Mika Vainio, Reinhold Friedl (Zeitkratzer), Elliott Sharp, Joey Baron, and Zeena Parkins, and regularly collaborates with media artists Antoine Schmitt and Kurt d\'Haeseleer. Vigroux founded DAC records in 2002, and the label has released dozens of recordings by himself as well as similarly unclassifiable experimental artists such as Hélène Breschand, Samuel Sighicelli, Elliott Sharp and Bruno Chevillon. He also established D\'Autres Cordes as a performing arts company in 2008, and has presented works by Philippe Malone, Marc Ducret, and others. Vigroux made his solo debut with the Lilas trilogy beginning in 2003, and subsequent efforts such as Récolte (2009) and We (Nous Autres) increasingly incorporated elements of noise and industrial techno. Additionally, he collaborated with Matthew Bourne on a 2015 Kraftwerk tribute titled *Radioland: Radio-Activity Revisited*.
In 2007, Vigroux worked with Japanese spoken word artist Kenji Siratori on a limited CD-R titled *Pituitary Desert*; that same year also saw the release of *Hums 2 Terre*, a live collaboration with Elliott Sharp for Radio France\'s label Signature. Vigroux\'s noisy, glitchy solo album *Récolte* appeared in 2009, and he also collaborated with Matthew Bourne that year, resulting in the full-length *Call Me Madame (Good News from Wonderland)*. Vigroux released a collaborative 12\" EP with Jean-François Oliver on the Trig label in 2010. Other releases that year included the electronic solo album *Camera Police*; *Broken Circles Live*, an orchestral work performed by Ars Nova Ensemble Instrumental; and *Venice, Dal Vivo*, a recording of a 2008 live (in Venice, Italy) collaboration with Joey Baron, Bruno Chevillon, and Elliott Sharp.
In 2012, Vigroux released *Transistor*, a collaboration with Michigan-based experimental musician Ben Miller. He also issued another solo album, *We (Nous Autres)*. A second album with Miller, *The Din of Eon*, appeared in 2013. The following year saw the release of *Tobel*, Vigroux\'s collaboration with Reinhold Friedl of contemporary ensemble Zeitkratzer. He also released a solo guitar album titled *Ciment*, as well as *Centaure*, a noisy industrial techno-leaning 12\" EP on Shapednoise\'s Cosmo Rhythmatic label. Vigroux returned to the label in 2015 for the release of *Peau froide, léger soleil*, a collaboration with kindred spirit Mika Vainio. He also recorded another collaboration with Bourne, this time a tribute to Kraftwerk\'s Radio-Aktivität. *Radioland: Radio-Activity Revisited* appeared at the end of 2015 on Leaf. 2016 saw the release of solo efforts *Rapport Sur le Désordre* and *Camera* as well as *Tobel II* with Freidl. Following his solo LP *Barricades* (2017), Vigroux released *Ignis* in 2018, a posthumous collaboration with Vainio, who died in 2017. Two solo EPs, *Désastres* and *Théorème*, appeared in early 2019 and one LP *Totem* for Aesthetical

### Rügland Castle {#rügland_castle}
Rügland Castle is one of the few moated castles in Middle Franconia. The north wing dates from the 17th century; the rest was then built according to the plans of Carl Friedrich von Zocha. Today, the castle houses a museum dedicated to the lords of nearby Crailsheim. The castle grounds are decorated with sandstone statues of mythological figures.
### Carl Osman {#carl_osman}
At the Siege of Belgrade during the "Turkish Crusade" of 1688, two Turks were captured. One of these men --- Mustapha, born in 1655 Constantinople --- saved the life of Hannibal von Crailshem during a battle, and by doing so, one the lord's favor. He was sent back to Germany, and worked for the family. In 1727, he was christened in the church in Rügland and took the name Carl Osman. In 1734, he donated two silver chandeliers to the church, which can still be seen today.
In his will, he stipulated that every person that attended his funeral should receive five Kreuzer. When he died in 1735, 925 people showed up to attend. His headstone bears the inscription:
: *„Hier ruhet in Gott Carl Osman, ward geboren zu Constantinopel 1655, vor Belgrad gefangen 1688, zu Rügland getauft 1727, in Diensten gestanden 47 Jahr. Er starb 1735, alt 80 Jahr."*

# Bilka
**Bilka** is a Danish chain of hypermarkets. The first store opened in 1970 in Tilst, a suburb of Aarhus. The chain was founded by Herman Salling and is now a part of Salling Group.
## Name
The name *Bilka* is derived from the German *Billiges Kaufhaus* (low-price department store), which its founder, Herman Salling had encountered during his business trips to West Germany.
## The First Bilka Store {#the_first_bilka_store}
The first *Bilka* store was the first low-cost store in Denmark. With sale area of 10000 square meters and parking space for 1200 cars, this was also the largest store in Denmark.
The opening of the first *Bilka* store brought revision to the regional plan for Great Aarhus from 1954. According to that plan the area of Aarhus was supposed to have 2 new centers, but after the opening of the first *Bilka* store, this plan was no longer economically viable.
The building of the store was approved by Brabrand-Årslev Parish, since the land was part of the Brabrand Parish.The developer of the store, however decided he wanted to create remote storage for Salling Group. That is the reason why the *Bilka* store was functioning as an *open* stock market with most of the goods stocked in pallets and forklifts in the aisles during open hours.
At the beginning of 2010, the first *Bilka* store celebrated its 40th birthday and it was completely renovated. All of the old 31 cash registers, from 1970, were replaced with 28 new modern ones and 8 self-service terminals. Furthermore, all the departments were completely renovated and today, this store has the largest Fruits & Vegetables department in Denmark.

# Schopfloch, Bavaria
**Schopfloch** is a municipality in the district of Ansbach in Bavaria in Germany. It is the home of Lachoudisch, a rare Hebrew-infused German dialect.
## Geography
### Location
Schopfloch is located on the Romantic Road between the towns of Feuchtwangen and Dinkelsbühl in a landscape surrounded by meadows and forests on a gently sloping valley slope of the Wörnitz River.
The town is located in western Middle Franconia; it is only a few kilometers from Baden-Württemberg\'s district of Schwäbisch Hall.
### Municipal Structure {#municipal_structure}
There are 13 municipal districts (the settlement type is indicated in parentheses):
- Buchhof (hamlet)

The municipal area includes the districts of Dickersbronn, Lehengütingen, Schopfloch, and Waldhäuslein (district 1). The Schopfloch district has an area of 4,336 km². It is divided into 1,675 parcels of land, each with an average area of 2,588.79 m². In addition to the eponymous village, it includes the municipal districts of Buchhof, Deuenbach, Neumühle and Rohrmühle.
### Neighboring communities {#neighboring_communities}
Schopfloch borders the town of Feuchtwangen to the north, the municipality of Dürrwangen to the east, and the major district town of Dinkelsbühl to the south. The borders of Dinkelsbühl and Feuchtwangen meet in the west of Schopfloch.
## History
The first written mention of the place can be found in a deed of gift dated March 11, 1260, in which the name \"Ulricus de Schopfloch\" is mentioned as a witness. Later, the noble family of Schopfloch settled there. The place name is derived from a field name of the same name, whose root word is \"lôch\" (Middle High German for bushes, forest, woodland) and whose defining word is \"schopf\" (Middle High German for barn), meaning woodland near a barn.
Only sparse remains of Schopfloch Castle in the village center remain. Documents documenting the village\'s origins are lacking.
Jurisdiction over Schopfloch was claimed by both the Ansbach Oberamt Feuchtwangen and the Oettingen-Spielberg Oberamt Dürrwangen. The imperial city of Dinkelsbühl wanted to claim it on its estates. The village and parish lordship was disputed between the Feuchtwangen caste office and the Dürrwangen superior office.
In 1732, the village consisted of 77 estates with 88 households. There was also an Ansbach castle with a curtain wall, a church (Protestant), a rectory, a school and sacristan\'s house and a shepherd\'s house. The landlords were the bailiwick of Schopfloch, the Oberamt Dürrwangen, the Teutonic Order and the imperial city of Dinkelsbühl.
Towards the end of the 18th century there were 117 properties plus municipal, ecclesiastical and stately buildings. From 1797 to 1808 the town was under the jurisdiction of the Feuchtwangen Justice and Chamber Office.
In 1806, Schopfloch became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. The municipal edict of 1809 established the tax district and the rural municipality of Schopfloch. The rural municipality was assigned to the Dinkelsbühl district court for administration and jurisdiction and to the Dinkelsbühl rent office for financial administration. The administration was taken over by the newly created Dinkelsbühl district office in 1862. Jurisdiction remained with the Dinkelsbühl district court. In 1964, the municipality had an area of 4.287 km².
In 1965, the village was granted market rights. With the dissolution of the district of Dinkelsbühl in 1972, Schopfloch became part of the district of Ansbach. In March 1979, Schopfloch received approval from the government of Middle Franconia to adopt a coat of arms and to use a flag.
### Descendants of Austrian Protestants {#descendants_of_austrian_protestants}
Schopfloch has some special features in terms of social and cultural history: During the Thirty Years\' War, Protestants from the Salzburg region settled in Schopfloch in 1634. They brought traditional trades such as bricklaying and stonemasonry with them to their new home. As the immediate vicinity of Schopfloch did not offer enough work in the construction sector, the bricklayers and stonemasons moved from spring to fall, usually in groups of six to eight men, as migrant workers through southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
The \"acquaintance for what was new in the world, developed through occupational wandering,\" led to the early adoption of democratic and trade union-social democratic ideas in Schopfloch in the 19th century. The SPD local association, founded in 1897, had about 250 members in January 1932, out of a village population of just under 2,000 at the time. In 1905, Schopfloch was the first municipality in Bavaria to elect a Social Democrat, stonemason Heinrich Grimm, as mayor. After the local association was dissolved in 1933 during the Nazi era, the SPD local association was re-established in December 1945. In the 1946 local elections, the SPD won nine out of ten seats.

## History
### Jewish community {#jewish_community}
Jewish citizens played a very important role in the social life of Schopfloch. The first Jews settled here in the early 16th century, as documented in the first records from 1561 and 1566. Due to the political situation in the 17th and 18th centuries, which divided Schopfloch into two administrative districts, two Jewish communities emerged in the town, one under the rule of Oettingen-Wallerstein, the other under the rule of the Margraves of Ansbach. Both communities merged into one Jewish community only at the beginning of the 19th century.
The Jewish cemetery was established in 1612 (or even a few years earlier) and has been expanded several times since then, with the last major expansion taking place in 1802. As a community cemetery -- until some of them created their own burial grounds -- it was the central cemetery for the Jewish communities of a wide region, including Dinkelsbühl, Feuchtwangen, Mönchsroth and Wittelshofen, as well as for several communities now in Baden-Württemberg: in particular, until 1841, Crailsheim, Goldbach, Hengstfeld, and until 1840, Michelbach an der Lücke, Steinbach, Fichtenau and Wiesenbach. The last burials took place in 1938 (Paula Jordan from Wittelshofen and Fanny Benjamin née Dinkelsbühl). The extremely extensive area necessitated repeated expansion, and the cemetery ultimately covers 12,980 m². The oldest gravestones, some of which have sunk into the grounds, are located at the far east of the site. According to more recent counts, there are 1,172 gravestones in the cemetery.
The first synagogue was built in 1679 on the Oettingen side of the town. It was shared by the Jewish community in the Brandenburg-Ansbach part of Schopfloch. It was not until the 19th century that the two Jewish communities merged and came under the jurisdiction of the Schopfloch District Rabbinate under District Rabbi Nathan Ehrlich (1841--1872). In 1830, a Jewish elementary school was established in Schopfloch, which included a mikveh and a teacher\'s apartment. A new synagogue building was built in 1877. Around 1900, one-third of Schopfloch\'s citizens were members of the Jewish religious community. At the beginning of the 20th century, however, many local Jews emigrated to America, significantly reducing the number of Jewish residents.
The long peaceful coexistence between Jews and Christians came to an end with the Nazi takeover in 1933. In 1938, the last 18 remaining Jewish citizens of Schopfloch were forced to leave. The synagogue was destroyed during Kristallnacht. A total of 54 Jews from Schopfloch died in various concentration camps. Another visible trace of Jewish life is the house at Bahnhofstraße 8 (Jewish school). A memorial stone, which was placed in front of the building at Bahnhofstraße 5, commemorates the destroyed synagogue. A prominent contemporary witness, Hans Rosenfeld, played a key role in portraying Jewish living conditions in Schopfloch until his death in 2015, through numerous documentaries and lectures

# Samukawa Shrine
is a Shinto shrine in the Miyayama neighborhood of the town of Samukawa, Kōza District. Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is the *ichinomiya* of former Sagami Province. The main festival of the shrine is held annually on September 20. This shrine is one of the most famous shrines around Tokyo, where about 2 million people visit each year.
## Enshrined *kami* {#enshrined_kami}
The *kami* enshrined at Samukawa Jinja is:
- , an amalgamation of the male `{{nihongo|''Samukawa-hiko no mikoto''|寒川比古命|}}`{=mediawiki} and the female `{{nihongo|''Samukawa-hime no mikoto''|寒川比女命|}}`{=mediawiki}
## History
The origins of Samukawa Shrine are unknown. Unverifiable shrine legend states that during the reign of Emperor Yūryaku (418-479), messengers were sent to this shrine from the imperial court. The earliest written records indicate that the shrine was rebuilt in the year 727, and its name also appears in the *Shoku Nihon Kōki* entry for the year 846. By the time of the 923 AD *Engishiki*, the shrine is styled as the only shrine in Sagami Province to be a `{{nihongo|''Myōjin-taisha''|名神大社||}}`{=mediawiki}. There is also a mystery regarding the *kami* enshrined. The current *kami* are given the collective name of \"Samukawa Daimyōjin\", about whom nothing is known. One theory identifies these *kami* as being associated with Ise Province, as they are also worshipped at the Muyano Shrine, a sub-shrine of the Ise Grand Shrine. Another theory identifies them as the children of `{{nihongo|''Ominakami no mikoto''|大水上命|}}`{=mediawiki}, who may or may to be the same as Ōyamatsumi. It is also possible that these *kami* are the ancestors of the Samukawa clan, the Sagami *Kuni no miyatsuko*. None of these theories are mutually exclusive.
At present, the shrine is located on a low plateau on the left bank of the Sagami River, about seven kilometers inland in the central southern part of Kanagawa Prefecture; however, during the Yayoi period, it was located on the shore of an inlet of Sagami Bay which extended far inland from the present shoreline. The ancient Tōkaidō highway crossed the Sagami River passed the east side of Samukawa Shrine. In the *Azuma Kagami* of the Kamakura period, Samukawa Shrine is identified as the ichinomiya of Sagami Province, and there was a dedication ceremony at the shrine on the birth of Minamoto no Yoriie. Afterwards, the shrine was patronized by the Hōjō clan, and in the Sengoku period by the Later Hōjō clan. Takeda Shingen visited the shrine and donated a *kabuto* helmet and sword to pray for victory when he attacked Odawara Castle in October 1569.
Following the Meiji restoration, in 1871 the shrine was designated an `{{nihongo|National shrine, 2nd rank|国幣中社|''[[kokuhei-chūsha]]''}}`{=mediawiki} under the Modern system of ranked Shinto Shrines.
The shrine is a five-minute walk from Miyayama Station on the JR East Sagami Line.

# Khaydhar ibn Kawus al-Afshin
**Ḥaydar ibn Kāwūs** (*حيدر بن كاوس*, *Kheyzar ebn-e Kāvus*), better known by his hereditary title of **al-Afshīn** (*الأفشين*, *Afshin*), was a senior general of Sogdian descent at the court of the Abbasid caliphs and a vassal prince of Oshrusana. He played a leading role in the campaigns of Caliph al-Mu\'tasim, and was responsible for the suppression of the rebellion of Babak Khorramdin and for his battlefield victory over the Byzantine emperor Theophilos during the Amorium campaign. Eventually he was suspected of disloyalty and was arrested, tried and then executed in June 841.
## Name and family background {#name_and_family_background}
Afshin is a hereditary title of Oshrusana princes before the Muslim conquest of Persia. The term is a modern persian form of the Middle Persian Pishin and Avestan Pisinah, a proper name of uncertain etymology. Minorsky suggests that the title Afshin was of Sogdian origin.
At the time of the first Arab invasion of Transoxiana (including Oshrusana) under Qutayba ibn Muslim (94-5 AH/712-14 CE), Ushrusana was inhabited by Iranians, who were ruled by their own princes who bore the traditional title of Afshin.
Afshin is generally considered an Iranian, and although two classical sources (and some modern authors) have called him a Turk. He came from an Iranian cultural region and was not usually considered Turkic. The confusion comes from the fact that the term "Turk" was used loosely by Arab writers of the time to denote the new troops of the caliph despite the inclusion among them of some elements of Iranian origin, including Ferghana and Oshrusana.
His background has been stated to be Sogdian (an Eastern Iranian people).
## Early years {#early_years}
According to Yaqubi, during the reign of the third Abbasid caliph Al-Mahdi (775-85), Afshin of Oshrusana was mentioned among several Iranian and Turkic rulers of Transoxania and the Central Asian steppes who submitted nominally to him. But it was not until Harun al-Rashid\'s reign in 794-95 that al-Fadl ibn Yahya al-Barmaki led an expedition into Transoxania and received the submission of Afshin Kharākana, the ruling Akin. Further expeditions were sent to Oshrusana by Al-Ma\'mun when he was governor in Merv and later after he had become caliph. Kawus ibn Kharakhuruh, the son of the Afshin Karākana, withdrew his allegiance from the Arabs. However, shortly after Ma\'mun arrived in Baghdad from the east (817-18 or 819-20), a power struggle and dissension broke out among the reigning family of Oshrusana.
According to most of the sources, al-Ma\'mun\'s heir, Al-Mu\'tasim seconded high-ranking officers to serve under him and ordered exceptionally large salaries, expense allowances, and rations for him. In 831-833, Afshin suppressed uprisings throughout Egypt. On 2 June 832 Afshin succeeded in taking Bima in Egypt. The town surrendered to Afshin following his advice that al-Ma\'mun promised safe conduct.
## Afshin and Babak {#afshin_and_babak}
*Main article: Babak Khorramdin*
In 835, Caliph al-Mu\'tasim appointed Afshin as governor of Adharbayjan to fight against Babak Khorramdin, leader of neo-Mazdakite Persian movement of the Khurramites.
After a fierce resistance by Babak\'s army, Afshin eventually defeated it and captured Babak\'s castle of Bazz in August 837. Ya\'qubi (Tarikh II, 579) records Afshin freeing 7,600 Arab prisoners from this fortress and he destroyed the castle. The Khurramite leader went into hiding under the protection of a local Christian prince Sahl ibn-Sunbat who later turned him into Afshin. In return for Afshin\'s achievements, the caliph rewarded him with the governorship of Sind in addition to that of Armenia and Adharbayjan.

## Amorium campaign {#amorium_campaign}
In 838, al-Mu\'tasim decided to launch a major punitive expedition against Byzantium, aiming to capture the two major Byzantine cities of central Asia Minor, Ancyra and Amorium. The latter was probably the largest city in Asia Minor at the time, as well as the birthplace of the reigning Amorian dynasty and consequently of particular symbolic importance; according to the chronicles, al-Mu\'tasim\'s soldiers painted the word \"Amorium\" on their shields and banners. A vast army was gathered at Tarsus (80,000 men according to Treadgold), which was then divided into two main forces. Afshin was placed in command of the northern force, that would invade the Armeniac theme from the region of Melitene, joining up with the forces of the city\'s emir, Omar al-Aqta. The southern, main force, under the Caliph himself, would pass through the Cilician Gates into Cappadocia and head to Ancyra. After the city was taken, the Arab armies would join and march to Amorium. Afshin\'s force included, according to Skylitzes, the entire Arab army of Armenia, and numbered 20,000 (Haldon) to 30,000 men (Treadgold), among whom were some 10,000 Turkish horse-archers.
In mid-June 838, Afshin crossed the Anti-Taurus Mountains and encamped at the fort of Dazimon, between Amaseia and Tokate, a strategically important location which the Byzantines also used as a forward staging area. A few days later, on 19 June, the vanguard of the main Abbasid army also invaded Byzantine territory, followed two days after by the Caliph with the main body. Emperor Theophilos chose to confront Afshin first, since although his army was smaller, it threatened to cut off his supply lines. On 21 July, the imperial army came into view of the Arab force, and encamped on the hill of Anzen south of Dazimon. In the ensuing Battle of Anzen, the Byzantine army attacked at dawn, and initially made good progress, but noon Afshin launched his Turkish horse-archers in a ferocious counter-attack which stymied the Byzantine advance and allowed the Arab forces to regroup. At the same time, Theophilos decided to lead reinforcements to one of his wings, and his sudden absence disquieted his troops, thinking he had been killed. The Byzantine army collapsed, with some units breaking and fleeing disorderly, while others were apparently able to retreat in good order. Theophilos himself barely escaped the battle with his guard, and was surrounded by Afshin\'s men on a low hill. Afshin sent for catapults to be brought up to batter the Byzantine position, but the Byzantines managed to break through the Arab lines and the Emperor escaped.
The caliph\'s vanguard under Ashinas reached Ancyra, which had been abandoned by its inhabitants, on 26 July. Afshin arrived there a few days later, and united with the main Abbasid army, which now turned south towards Amorium. Afshin commanded the rear guard, while Ashinas was once again in front, and the caliph in the middle. Looting the countryside as they advanced, they arrived before Amorium seven days after their departure from Ancyra, and began their siege of the city on 1 August.
The city\'s fortifications were strong, with a wide moat and a thick wall protected by 44 towers, according to the contemporary geographer Ibn Khordadbeh, and the caliph assigned each of his generals to a stretch of the walls. Both besiegers and besieged had many siege engines, and for three days both sides exchanged missile fire while Arab sappers tried to undermine the walls. According to Arab accounts, an Arab prisoner who had converted to Christianity defected back to the caliph, and informed him about a place in the wall which had been badly damaged by heavy rainfall and only hastily and superficially repaired due to the city commander\'s negligence. As a result, the Arabs concentrated their efforts on this section. The defenders tried to protect the wall by hanging wooden beams to absorb the shock, but they splintered, and after two days a breach was made. The Arabs now launched repeated attacks on the breach, with Afshin, Ashinas, and Itakh taking turns in leading their men in attack, but the defenders held firm. In the event, the city fell by treachery in mid-August, when the Byzantine officer commanding the breach tried to open up separate negotiations with al-Mu\'tasim, and the Abbasids used the lull in order to launch a surprise attack.

Despite his successes, Afshin\'s star began to decline, apparently as a result of his jealousy towards \`Abdallah bin Taher, the governor of Khorasan who Afshin apparently regarded as an upstart and a rival for power in Transoxania. Afshin had begun intriguing with Mazyar, a Karenid prince and *ispahbadh* of Tabaristan in the Caspian region. Afshin allegedly encouraged Mazyar in secret, in the hope that \`Abdallāh bin Tāher would be deprived of his governorship allowing Afšīn to take over the governorship. Mazyar\'s rebellion was quashed in 839 and Afshin\'s position became increasingly difficult, which caused Afshin to fall from favour. His situation was made worse by the finding of correspondence between him and Mazyar. Further, the Khurasanian governor, Abdallah ibn Tahir, alleged that he had intercepted some of Babak\'s wealth Afshin had obtained in the earlier campaign and was seeking to transfer secretly to Afshin\'s lands in Oshrusana. When Mazyar arrived in Samarra, Afshin was arrested.
Mazyar participated in the interrogation of the former general, asserting that Afshin had conspired with him. Others present raised additional questions concerning the sincerity of Afshin\'s conversion to Islam from Zoroastrianism. He said *There is no God but God!* to Al Wathiq. Afshin had answers to all the allegations. He claimed that Zoroastrian artefacts and books in his possession were family heirlooms from before he had become Muslim. He explained that when he punished a pair of Muslim fanatics destroying idols in Ushrusanah he was exercising reasonable leadership aimed at maintaining the harmony of his religiously diverse territory. He told his detractors that the formulaic address his people used in writing to him in Persian as \"lord of lords\", was simply a tradition and did not invalidate his personal belief in one God.
All such replies were unsuccessful. Al-Mu\'tasim had a special prison built for Afshin. It was known as \"The Pearl\" and was in the shape of a minaret. There he spent the final nine months of his life and there he died in May--June 841.
The Tigris river was used as a dumping ground for his cremated remains. A single location was used for the crucifixion of Afshin, Maziyar, and Babak\'s corpses.
After his death Ustrushana was Islamified whereas before he preserved temples from ruin

# Pedro DeBrito
**Pedro Guilherme DeBrito** (May 25, 1959 -- July 5, 2014) was a soccer player who played as a midfielder. His career took him through multiple U.S. leagues including the North American Soccer League, Major Indoor Soccer League, American Soccer League and the National Professional Soccer League. Born in Portuguese Cape Verde, he earned one cap with the United States national team in 1983.
## College
DeBrito, a native of Cape Verde, moved with his family to Portugal when he was nine. His family then moved to the U.S. when he was fifteen. After high school, he attended the University of Connecticut. He played as a forward on the men\'s soccer team and finished his four seasons with 43 goals and 59 assists. He holds the school\'s career assists record and, `{{as of|2014|07|lc=yes}}`{=mediawiki}, is fifth on the career goals list. In 1981, UConn defeated Alabama A&M 2--1 to win the NCAA Men\'s Soccer Championship. He was a 1980 Honorable Mention and 1981 First Team All American honors. The University of Connecticut inducted DeBrito into the school\'s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1999. He was inducted into the Connecticut Soccer Hall of Fame in the Class of 2000.
DeBrito was one of 22 college players to be part of the 40-40 club, having both 40 goals and 40 assists in their college career.
## Professional
The Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League drafted DeBrito with the first pick in the 1982 NASL College Draft. That year he was the NASL Rookie of the Year as a forward. In 1983, the U.S. Soccer Federation, in coordination with the NASL, entered the U.S. national team, known as Team America, into the NASL as a league franchise. The team drew on U.S. citizens playing in the NASL, Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) and dies and signed with Team America. When Team America finished the 1983 season with a 10--20 record, the worst in the NASL, USSF withdrew the team from the league and DeBrito returned to the Rowdies. However, he did not play for the Rowdies in 1984 as the team traded him to the New York Cosmos on April 26, 1984, for Refik Kozić and cash. While DeBrito played as a forward with the Rowdies and as a midfielder with Team America, the Cosmos used him as an outside back. DeBrito remained with the Cosmos through the 1984 NASL outdoor season. The league collapsed at the end of the season and the Cosmos jumped to MISL for the 1984--1985 season. However, the Cosmos did not last the season and DeBrito signed with the Dallas Sidekicks (MISL) as a free agent on September 10, 1985. On February 13, 1987, DeBrito injured his right knee putting him out for the remainder of the 1986--1987 season. He began the 1987--1988 season with the Sidekicks but the team attempted to trade DeBrito the Tacoma Stars for Godfrey Ingram. When the two teams failed to complete the trade, the Sidekicks released DeBrito due to salary cap considerations nine games into the 1987--1988 season. DeBrito then signed with Wichita Wings as a free agent. Later that season, he broke his right leg. In 1989, DeBrito played for the Albany Capitals of the outdoor American Soccer League.
DeBrito returned to the Dallas Sidekicks as a free agent in 1990 and remained with the team through 1991. On December 2, 1992, he signed with the Detroit Rockers of the National Professional Soccer League and played with the team until 1994 when he retired from professional soccer. He later spent time in Portugal before returning to the United States and settling in Miami where he continued to play for local recreational soccer teams.
## National team {#national_team}
DeBrito earned his only cap in the U.S. national team\'s only game in 1983, a 2--0 win over Haiti on April 30, 1983.

## Biography
Kawaguchi was born in the Asakusa district of Tokyo. He worked in a variety of jobs and studied under Mantarō Kubota and Kaoru Osanai. In 1935, he received the first Naoki Prize for his short stories *Tsuruhachi Tsurujirō* and *Fūryū fukagawa uta* and the novella *Meiji ichidai onna*. The novel *Aizen katsura*, a melodramatic love story between a nurse and a doctor, was serialised between 1937 and 1938 and made into highly popular film starring Kinuyo Tanaka and Ken Uehara. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Kawaguchi became a member of the Pen butai (\"Pen brigade\"), a government-sponsored group of writers who had access to off-limits war areas and were in return expected to write favourably of Japan\'s war efforts in China. In 1940, Kawaguchi joined the theatre group Shinsei Shinpa, where he wrote plays and directed.
Starting in the 1930s, Kawaguchi adapted other writers\' works for films of director Kenji Mizoguchi such as *The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums* (1939). Mizoguchi in return adapted works by Kawaguchi, such as *Ayen kyo* for *The Straits of Love and Hate* (1937). After the war, the two collaborated on the films *Ugetsu* (1953), *The Crucified Lovers* (1954) and *Princess Yang Kwei Fei* (1955), and Mizoguchi again adapted a story by Kawaguchi for his 1953 film *A Geisha*.

## Biography
Leach was born in Petersburg, Virginia, on August 26, 1928. A performance of *Pygmalion* he saw as a teenager inspired him to work in theatre. After graduating from the College of William & Mary in 1953, Leach went on to earn both a master\'s degree and a doctorate from the University of Illinois. Leach began teaching at Sarah Lawrence College in 1958. He also taught at the Yale School of Drama during the years 1978 and 1979.
After moving to New York City, Leach became the artistic director of La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club for much of the 1970s. At La MaMa, he frequently collaborated with [John Braswell](https://catalog.lamama.org/Detail/Entities/1170). They directed the ETC Company, a resident company of La MaMa, in a repertory that included adaptations of *Carmilla*, *Demon*, *The Only Jealousy of Emer*, *Renard*, and *Gertrude*, a musical about the title character based loosely on Gertrude Stein.
Leach also directed works for Joseph Papp\'s Public Theater and the New York Shakespeare Festival, where he directed a production of *The Pirates of Penzance* in 1980 with Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt, Rex Smith, and Patricia Routledge. The production transferred to Broadway with the same cast in January 1981, with Estelle Parsons replacing Routledge. Leach won a Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical for the Broadway production in 1981. Leach directed a film version of *The Pirates of Penzance* in 1983 with the same cast, with Angela Lansbury replacing Parsons.
Leach\'s additional theatre directing credits include two projects that originated at the Public and then transferred to Broadway: *The Human Comedy* (1984) and *The Mystery of Edwin Drood* (1986), for which he won his second Tony Award.
While teaching at Sarah Lawrence, Leach met then-students Brian De Palma and Cynthia Munroe. In collaboration with De Palma and Munroe, he produced, directed, and wrote the screenplay for the 1969 film *The Wedding Party*, whose cast included a young Robert De Niro and Jill Clayburgh. He also directed the films *All\'s Well That Ends Well* (1978) with Frances Conroy for television and a straight-to-video version of *Coriolanus* (1979) with Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman.
The protagonist of Brian De Palma\'s film *Phantom of the Paradise* (1974), Winslow Leach, is named after Wilford Leach.

# Meijō Line
The `{{nihongo|'''Meijō Line'''|名城線|Meijō-sen}}`{=mediawiki} is a subway line in Nagoya, Japan, part of the Nagoya Municipal Subway system. It is a loop line that runs from Kanayama, via Sakae, Ōzone, Nagoya Daigaku, and back to Kanayama, all within Nagoya. The Meijō Line\'s color on maps is wisteria purple and stations are labeled with the prefix \"M\". Officially, the line consists of the `{{nihongo|'''Nagoya City Rapid Railway Line 2'''|名古屋市高速度鉄道第2号線|Nagoya-shi Kōsokudo Tetsudō Dai-ni-gō-sen}}`{=mediawiki}, the western part, and `{{nihongo|'''Line 4'''|第4号線|Dai-yon-gō-sen}}`{=mediawiki}, the eastern part. All stations accept manaca, a rechargeable contactless smart card, and other major Japanese IC cards.
The Meijō Line, upon its completion, became the second loop subway line built in Japan, after the Toei Ōedo Line. The Ōedo Line, however, is not a true loop line as it is operated like a figure 6, with trains from the western Hikarigaoka terminus running anticlockwise around the loop and terminating at Tochōmae, returning around the loop to Hikarigaoka. Thus the Meijō Line is the first (and currently only) true loop subway line in the nation. The line is longer than the JR Ōsaka Loop Line (21.7 km), but shorter than the JR Yamanote Line (34.5 km). It takes 48 minutes to complete the loop.
The name Meijō is derived from the abbreviated *kanji* of `{{nihongo|[[Nagoya Castle]]|名古屋城|Nagoya-jō}}`{=mediawiki}.

The line was originally part of the Meijō Line. When the eastern part (\"Line 4\") of the current loop line was completed in 2004, the entire loop was renamed the Meijō Line, with the remaining section (between Kanayama and Nagoyakō, outside the loop) being renamed to the Meikō Line.
The name Meikō is derived from the abbreviated *kanji* of `{{nihongo|[[Nagoya Port]]|名古屋港|Nagoya-kō}}`{=mediawiki}.

## History
The Higashiyama Line was the first underground rapid transit line in Nagoya, and it opened initially on 15 November 1957 with three stations. The three stations were Nagoya Station, Fushimimachi Station (now `{{STN|Fushimi|x|Aichi}}`{=mediawiki}), and Sakaemachi Station (now `{{STN|Sakae|x|Aichi}}`{=mediawiki}). At first, the subway had six 100 series EMU trainsets, formed with two cars per set.
The line was extended from Sakaemachi (now Sakae) to `{{STN|Ikeshita|x}}`{=mediawiki} on June 15, 1960, from Ikeshita to `{{STN|Higashiyama Kōen|x|Aichi}}`{=mediawiki} on April 1, 1963, from `{{STN|Higashiyama Kōen|x|Aichi}}`{=mediawiki} to `{{STN|Hoshigaoka|x|Aichi}}`{=mediawiki} on March 30, 1967.
The line was simultaneously extended from Nagoya to `{{STN|Nakamura Kōen|x}}`{=mediawiki} and from `{{STN|Hoshigaoka|x|Aichi}}`{=mediawiki} to its current eastern terminus of `{{STN|Fujigaoka|x|Aichi}}`{=mediawiki} on April 1, 1969. The line was further extended from `{{STN|Nakamura Kōen|x}}`{=mediawiki} to its present western terminus of `{{STN|Takabata|x}}`{=mediawiki} on September 21, 1982, and with that was completed as the line which operates today.

# List of MegaMan NT Warrior episodes (Stream)
This article covers the third series of the ***MegaMan NT Warrior*** anime series, known in Japan as `{{nihongo|'''''Rockman EXE Stream'''''|ロックマンエグゼストリーム|Rokkuman Eguze Sutorīmu}}`{=mediawiki}. Like *Axess*, Stream consists of only one part with 51 episodes. Currently, there are no plans for an English adaptation of the series, but they did reuse some background elements in MegaMan Star Force.
*Stream* premiered in Japan on October 2, 2004, exactly one week after *Axess* concluded. It ran until September 24, 2005. Midway through the series, the 50-minute feature film *Rockman EXE: Program of Light and Dark* premiered in Japanese theaters on March 12, 2005. The movie would directly connect with the events in *Stream* and is necessary for understanding the full plot of the series.
The title *Stream* is meant to describe the flow of one storyline into the next, and this holds true as *Stream* picks up immediately where *Axess* left off. In relation to the *Mega Man Battle Network* video games, *Stream* uses many prominent characters and concepts from *Battle Network 5*, though it still borrows elements from various previous *Battle Network* titles, especially *Battle Network 4*.

## The Program of Light and Darkness {#the_program_of_light_and_darkness}
There is no official confirmation on the movie\'s exact placement in *Stream\'s* storyline. However, because of Dex and Dingo\'s appearance in the movie, it most likely occurs shortly after episode 22 in which the boys move to DenTech City, but not after episode 29 when elements from the movie begin appearing in the series, specifically those concerning Baryl and Colonel.

Takao Kato Kenichi Araki March 12, 2005 September 21, 2005
Beams of light are tearing through cities all over the world, deconstructing anything they touch into network data. Dr. Hikari recognizes this as the dreaded \"Spectrum\" program, and he commands Lan to quickly rush and destroy something called the \"Tadashi Hikari\" program. As MegaMan rushes to do so, Bass assaults him, but Colonel intervenes. The destruction of the program is interrupted when a large beast named Nebula Grey appears and absorbs it, causing the NetNavis to retreat. Just then, the Spectrum beams tear through an amusement park, deconstructing many of Lan\'s friends. Dr. Regal reappears, having transformed into a data being after his demise with LaserMan in *Axess*, and plans to extract the programming written on Dr. Hikari\'s retinal pattern, completing Spectrum and transforming the planet into network data. Lan, Chaud, and Raika work together to infiltrate a Netopian army base where Dr. Regal goes through with his plan, and Lan encounters a man named Baryl who claims to be Colonel\'s NetOp. MegaMan jacks-in to the core of the program to stop Regal, and Bass also appears. In a pinch, MegaMan sacrifices his Ultimate Program to Bass, hoping he can defeat Nebula Grey with it. The resulting fusion creates BassCross MegaMan, a being that obliterates Nebula Grey and spoils Regal\'s plan. The military base begins to crumble, and Bass absorbs Nebula Grey\'s power for himself. The NetSavers and Dr. Hikari escape, but Baryl remains behind, uttering the reassuring claim that he is \"immortal.\" Everything deconstructed by Spectrum returns to normal, and peace is restored

**Airdrie Library** is a public library in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The library has been housed in a number of buildings since its founding.
## History of the two Carnegie library buildings and the observatory {#history_of_the_two_carnegie_library_buildings_and_the_observatory}
The history of the library dates back to the 1850s when the town adopted the Public Libraries Act. Its first home was a room in the town hall, or Town House as it was called. From 1860 it moved a number of times until the opening of its current home in 1925.
There have been two buildings purpose-built for the library. The first was opened in 1894 by a public subscription of more than £1000 and a £1000 donation from Andrew Carnegie (the Scottish born philanthropist) on Anderson Street, today\'s [Airdrie Arts Centre](https://web.archive.org/web/20061218204201/http://www.northlan.gov.uk/leisure+and+tourism/arts+facilities/airdrie+arts+centre/index.html). MP Sir John Wilson gave a further £1000 to write off accompanying debt.
Unusually, the library has shared a common history with an observatory. Airdrie Observatory was founded in this building in 1896.
The 1894 building proved too small. The second purpose-built, and current, building was designed by JM Arthur, and opened on 25 September 1925, funded by Airdrie Savings Bank and a second Carnegie grant. The local newspaper, the Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser had this to say the next day; \"*Although not quite finished the new Library building in Wellwynde Street was sufficiently far advanced towards completion to allow the opening ceremony to take place yesterday afternoon*\".
The observatory moved along with the library, a purpose-built observatory being built on the library roof and a brass 6 in refracting telescope was obtained by the observatory curator Ex-Baillie James Lewis for the sum of £500. The original Dr Reid telescope was also brought from the old observatory.
## Covenanters\' flag {#covenanters_flag}
In 1920, the library was gifted a Covenanters\' flag, carried in the Battle of Bothwell Bridge, by John Main, Laird of Ballochney. The flag suffered degradation due to light exposure, but underwent restoration, completed in 2002, and was re-displayed.

## Chronology
### 1853
In August the Public Libraries Act (Scotland) was passed, and in November Airdrie was the first Scottish town to adopt it, beating Dunfermline into second place by 13 years.
### 1856 {#section_1}
A quantity of books were obtained for the sum of £40 from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Library opened in the clerks office in the Town House, now known as the Town Clock.
### 1892 {#section_2}
Andrew Carnegie had promised in a letter to Mr Thomas Jeffrey of Airdrie Savings Bank an amount of money equaling £1,000 (being half of the money required to build a new library) so long as a piece of land was acquired and the other half of the money was raised locally. On receiving this guarantee, a public appeal was launched on 13 June 1892 for funds, and by October 1892 more than £1,000 had been raised. With more than £2,000, plans were drawn up to build the new Library on Anderson Street.
### 1894 {#section_3}
The new library was opened and MP Sir John Wilson wrote off some accompanying debt to the amount of £1,000 which allowed the new library to operate debt free from then on.
### 1896 {#section_4}
#### 28 April Airdrie Observatory {#april_airdrie_observatory}
Dr. Thomas Reid, an eminent Glasgow oculist, donated a 3 in brass-bodied, refracting telescope to the town, and it was housed in the library. He also donated the sum of £35 to convert a top-floor room, where a dome was built on the roof of the building for it. Thus founding Airdrie Observatory. Robert Dunlop was the first Honorary Curator, followed shortly by Mr Peter Scotland.
### 1925 {#section_5}
#### 25 September
A new library was built near the first purpose-built library with financial assistance from Airdrie Savings Bank and a second grant from the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust. A new purpose-built observatory was built on the library roof. It is currently curated by Airdrie Astronomical Association (AAA)

# List of statistical areas in Colorado
The U.S. State of Colorado has 20 statistical areas that have been delineated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Statistical areas are important geographic delineations of population clusters used by the OMB, the United States Census Bureau, planning organizations, and federal, state, and local government entities.
On July 21, 2023, the OMB delineated three combined statistical areas, seven metropolitan statistical areas, and ten micropolitan statistical areas in Colorado. The most populous of these statistical areas is the 12-county Denver--Aurora--Greeley, CO Combined Statistical Area with a United States Census Bureau estimated population of 3,752,505 as of July 1, 2024.
The Denver--Aurora--Greeley, CO Combined Statistical Area, the Colorado Springs, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area, the Fort Collins--Loveland, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area, the Pueblo-Cañon City, CO Combined Statistical Area, and the Cheyenne, WY Metropolitan Statistical Area comprise what is known as the Front Range Urban Corridor. `{{US state statistical areas boilerplate}}`{=mediawiki}

# Fínsnechta Fledach
**Fínsnechta Fledach mac Dúnchada** (died 695) was High King of Ireland. Fínsnechta belonged to the southern Síl nÁedo Sláine sept of the Uí Néill and was King of Brega, in modern County Meath, Ireland. He was a grandson of Áed Sláine. His father Dúnchad had died in 659. His byname \"Fledach\" meant \"the bountiful\" or \"the festive\".
## High King {#high_king}
He became King of Brega and High King in 675, after killing his predecessor, and first cousin, Cenn Fáelad in battle at Aircheltra, a place which is not identified. The *Fragmentary Annals of Ireland* relate how Finsnechta won support by his generosity. Among those he won over were the king of Fir Rois and Saint Adomnán. According to this annal, he had been granted a stewardship by Cenn Fáelad, but was unsatisfied with this and, encouraged by his friend of Fir Rois, challenged Cenn Faelad to battle and won the kingship.
He appears to have faced resistance from the King of Leinster, and a Battle of Loch Gabor (Lagore) was fought in 677. There was mutual slaughter on both sides but Finsnechta emerged the victor. In 680, Finsnechta had the King of Leinster, Fiannamail mac Máele Tuile, assassinated.
Finsnechta was involved in the north as well. In 676, he destroyed Ailech, center of Cenél nEógain power. He fought Bécc Bairrche mac Blathmaic (d. 718), King of Ulster, in 679 at the Battle of Tailtiu.
In June 684, Ecgfrith, the King of Northumbria, sent an army under Berht to Ireland which laid waste to the plain of Brega, the heart of Fínsnechta\'s kingdom. The reasons the army was sent are still not fully understood. The hostages taken in the raid were later returned through the offices of Adomnán in 687.
According to the saga Bóroma (\"The Cattle Tribute\"), it is mentioned that Fínsnechta Fledach undertook an expedition against Leinster when the Laigin refused to pay the cattle tribute. The Leinster king Bran Mut mac Conaill (died 693) assembled the Leinster forces and sent Saint Moling (d. 697), the abbot of Ferns, to negotiate with Fínsnechta. Mo-Ling tricked Fínsnechta into remitting the tribute. As a result, Saint Adomnan grew angry with the high king and cursed saying that his descendants would have no fame. Fínsnechta did penance to Adomnan and was forgiven for remitting the Boruma.
## Temporary abdication and death {#temporary_abdication_and_death}
In 688, Fínsnechta abdicated to become a monk, but he left the clerical life and resumed the kingship in 689. This return to power may have been a result of the break-out of a civil war among the Síl nÁedo Sláine when Niall mac Cernaig Sotal (died 701) of the Uí Chernaig sept of south Brega defeated Congalach mac Conaing Cuirre (died 696) of north Brega at the Battle of Imlech Pich in 688. Also, Áed mac Dlúthaig (died 701) of the Síl nDlúthaig sept killed Diarmait Dian mac Airmetaig Cáech, the King of Uisnech, of the Clann Cholmáin, in 689.
He was killed, along with his son Bresal, by his kinsmen Áed mac Dlúthaig and Congalach mac Conaing Cuirre at Grellaigh Dollaith. According to the *Annals of Tigernach*, this occurred in battle, but the *Fragmentary Annals of Ireland* state that Finsnechta was murdered in a tent by Congalach. Congalach succeeded Fínsnechta as King of Brega, and Loingsech mac Óengusso, of the northern Cenél Conaill branch of the Uí Néill, was the next High King.
Fínsnechta\'s descendants, the Clan Fínsnechtai, played no important role after him. Fínsnechta was survived by a son named Ailill who was killed in 718.
The earliest surviving list of High Kings of Ireland, that in the *Baile Chuind Chétchathaig* was apparently compiled in Fínsnechta\'s reign
