# Hoàng Văn Hoan **Hoàng Văn Hoan** (1905 -- 18 May 1991) was a personal friend of Ho Chi Minh, a founding member of the Indochinese Communist Party, and a Politburo member of the Communist Party of Vietnam from 1960 to 1976. Born in Nghệ An Province in 1905, Hoan was a crucial link between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) and the People\'s Republic of China, serving as ambassador to the country from 1950 to 1957 and Vice Chairman of the DRV\'s National Assembly Standing Committee in the 1960s. Known for his pro-Chinese stance, Hoan reached the peak of his career in the early 1960s when North Vietnam temporarily allied with China in the Sino-Soviet dispute. In 1963, when Foreign Minister Ung Văn Khiêm was replaced by the more pro-Chinese Xuân Thủy, Hoan headed the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the CPV. In 1965--1966, however, Soviet-Vietnamese relations started to improve, accompanied by increasing tension between Hanoi and Beijing. In the new atmosphere, the leadership found it advisable to replace both Xuân Thủy and Hoan with cadres who had been less conspicuously associated with Lê Duẩn\'s previous pro-Chinese policies. Still, Hoan played a prominent role in Sino-Vietnamese relations for some time. In May 1973, he conducted secret talks in Beijing about the Cambodian Civil War and traveled to China for \"medical treatment\" a year later, but his real mission was probably related to the secret (and unsuccessful) Sino-Vietnamese border negotiations from August to November. He lost most of his influence after the Fourth National Party Congress in 1977, when the Communist Party shifted to a pro-Soviet position. Like Trương Như Tảng, who went into exile in Paris, France, Hoan defected and surfaced in Beijing in July 1979 after shaking off political persecution by Vietnamese authorities. Hoan stated that Vietnam\'s abuse of its ethnic Chinese minority was \"even worse than Hitler\'s treatment of the Jews\" and that its leaders had become \"subservient to a foreign power,\" referring to the Soviet Union. He also disclosed that in 1982, the CPV\'s Central Committee had decided that opium production should be increased to raise foreign currency reserves. Hoan authored his reminiscences as *Giọt nước trong biển cả* which is translated into English by the Beijing government as *A Drop in the Ocean*. He died in Beijing in 1991

# Flight (Steinbeck story) \"**Flight**\" is a short story by American writer John Steinbeck, first published in his collection *The Long Valley*. It appears in the ledger notebook under the title \"Man Hunt\". The story outlines a young man, Pepé, who is sent into town by his mother. She says he is not yet a man. While he is gone, Pepé kills a man, and after his return, he is forced to flee. ## Plot The story opens on the Mexican-Indian Torres family, who live on a poor farm beside the ocean 15 miles below Monterey, California. The family consists of Mama Torres and her three children: her eldest son Pepé -- age 19, Rosy -- aged 14, and Emilio -- age 12. The mother has been a widow for ten years ever since her husband accidentally tripped and was bitten by a rattlesnake. The two youngest children help their mother by fishing but Pepé is lazy; he amuses himself by throwing his father\'s folding knife into a post. His mother sends Pepé into town to buy some medicine and salt; he can eat and sleep at her friend\'s, Mrs. Rodriguez\'s, house for the night. Pepé rides off on her errand. The next day he comes back and confesses that at Mrs. Rodriguez\'s, he had stabbed a man who had called him names; now he must flee. Putting his father\'s saddle on a fresh horse, he also takes his father\'s hat, coat and .38-56 rifle, along with a water bag and some beef jerky. As Pepé flees into the mountains, his mother cries out in anguish -- for she knows he will neither come back nor survive. As he is riding on a trail day and night, a traveler passes him going the opposite way. He loses his father\'s hat after he stops at a spring to water his horse and rest for the night. While riding along the trail, his horse is killed by a rifle shot; Pepé fires back at his unseen assailant one of the ten rifle cartridges he has. A returning shot drives a splinter of granite stone into his hand. Although he removes the projectile, his hand swells and hurts -- the wound has badly infected his arm. Tired, exhausted and thirsty, he discards his father\'s coat. While fleeing from tracking dogs and a posse on horses, he also loses the rifle. He makes it to the top of a ridge only to find desert and more ridges. Hearing the dogs, he rises up on a big rock on the ridge and is silhouetted against the morning sky looking down. A bullet strikes at his feet, and a second bullet hits him in the chest. He falls forward toward the little valley he came from in an avalanche. Pepé comes to rest at the bottom of the ridge and the stones cover his head

# Yakovlev Yak-14 The **Yakovlev Yak-14** (*Яковлев Як-14*; NATO reporting name: **Crow** or **Mare**) was the largest assault glider ever to enter service with the Soviet Air Force. It was introduced in 1949, at a time when other air forces were abandoning the glider concept. In 1950 a Yak-14 became the first glider to fly over the North Pole. ## Design and development {#design_and_development} During World War II, the Soviet Union operated only light gliders like the Gribovsky G-11, Antonov A-7 and Kolesnikov-Tsybin KC-20 which were unable to transport vehicles, light tanks or artillery. Only after the war were Soviet designers ordered to develop medium gliders capable of carrying heavy or bulky loads. In 1948 the Soviet Air Forces issued a specification for a large assault glider needed by the *VDV* (*Vozdushnodesantnyye Voyska* -- airborne troops) which was to be capable of carrying a payload of 3500 kg, including loads like an anti-tank or field gun with its crew and associated tow vehicle, or up to 35 troops. The Yakovlev design bureau was instructed to design an aircraft to meet this requirement, despite its relative inexperience in the design of such large aircraft. Yakovlev\'s design, the Yak-14 was a high-wing monoplane. It had a rectangular section fuselage with a steel-tube and dural structure with a fabric covering. To aid loading and unloading of cargo, the aircraft\'s nose swung to the right with the tail section pivoting to the left. The two pilots sat side by side in an enclosed cockpit above the left side of the fuselage. They were provided with a display that used a transmitter in the towing aircraft to show the relative positions of the two aircraft when flying in cloud. The wings were made of dural and fabric and were braced to the fuselage by a single strut on each side. Large slotted trailing-edge flaps were fitted to the wings, while the aircraft was fitted with a fixed nosewheel undercarriage which could be made to \"kneel\" by releasing air from the pneumatic shock struts of the undercarriage, lowering the fuselage for ease of unloading or to make short landings on belly-mounted skids. ### Testing The first prototype made its maiden flight in June 1948 from Medvyezhe Ozero, near Omsk. Official testing resulted in a number of changes to the design, with a large dorsal fin being fitted, and spoilers being added to reduce landing runs, while the payload of the glider was increased to allow an ASU-57 assault gun to be carried. As such the Yak-14 passed its acceptance trials from August to September 1949, with the glider entering mass production later that year. While some Yak-14s were constructed at Chkalovsk, the majority were produced at Rostov-on-Don. Total production was 413 series gliders. ## Operational history {#operational_history} The Yak-14 filled an important role in Soviet service in the 1950s, being the only way of carrying large loads by air to remote parts of the Soviet Union without having to disassemble the loads. The usual tug was the Ilyushin Il-12. One Yak-14 was flown to the North Pole in 1950, while another example of the glider\'s versatility took place in March 1954, when four Yak-14s made a long-distance flight to an ice station on an ice floe drifting on the Arctic Ocean, with the supplies delivered including a large bulldozer. The gliders flew from Tula on March 10, with several stops at Omsk, Krasnoyarsk and the Schmidt Cape, on Sakhalin island in the Far East, before reaching SP-4 in early April during a heavy freeze. A few were delivered to Czechoslovakia in the early 1950s which used them under the designation **NK-14**. Soviet Air Force transport gliders were gradually withdrawn from service with the arrival of turboprop transports like the Antonov An-24 and Antonov An-12, which entered service in the late 1950s. ## Variants Yak-14 : Basic production variant. Yak-14M : Increased payload version built from 1951. NK-14 (Nákladní kluzák -- cargo glider) : Yak-14s delivered to Czechoslovakia

# Hoosac Valley High School **Hoosac Valley High School** is a public institution of secondary education located in Cheshire, Massachusetts, United States. It primarily serves students residing in the towns of Adams, Cheshire, and Savoy. Hoosac Valley, abbreviated HVHS, hosts grades 4 through 12. It, along with Hoosac Valley Elementary School comprise the Hoosac Valley Regional School District. The 7th and 8th graders of the HVRSD attend classes at Hoosac Valley High School, though they may not take part in many high school sports unless there is a shortage of players, and their section of the school is known as Hoosac Valley Middle School and the younger children stay, for the most part, separated from the older ones throughout the duration of the school day. ## History Hoosac Valley High School opened in the year 1970, with the first class graduating in 1971. HVHS replaced Adams Memorial High School, the current location of the Adams Memorial Middle School. For a brief time, Adams Memorial Middle School closed due to the building being unsafe and its students (grades 7 & 8) moved to Hoosac Valley High School. A major renovation of the Hoosac Valley High School campus forced the student population (grades 7--12) to take classes at the Adams Memorial Middle School campus. Work on the Hoosac Valley High School campus began in 2010 and was completed in time to readmit students (now grades 6--12) in the fall of 2012. In 2019, the school district containing the high school renamed from the Adams-Cheshire Regional School District to the Hoosac Valley Regional School District. ## Hoosac trivia and tradition {#hoosac_trivia_and_tradition} HVHS\'s school colors are red and white. `{{color box|red}}`{=mediawiki}`{{color box|white}}`{=mediawiki} Sports teams use the name \"Hurricanes,\" with Sparky the Lightning Bolt as their mascot. Occasionally, the name \"Hurricanes\" is shortened to just \"Canes.\" Like most schools, Hoosac has a rival: Drury High School, located in North Adams, Massachusetts. In 2009, the Hoosac Boys\' Basketball team made it to the Massachusetts championships, coincidentally playing their rival Drury for the Western Mass Champions title. Hoosac won the Western Mass title and later lost in the state semifinals to the Milton High Wildcats. Currently in 2024 The girls basketball team has won state while the boys lost.

# Rhapis excelsa ***Rhapis excelsa***, also known as **broadleaf lady palm** or **bamboo palm**, is a species of fan palm (Arecaceae subfamily Coryphoideae, tribe Trachycarpeae) in the genus *Rhapis.* It is native to southern China and northern Vietnam. The genus name is Greek - *rhapis*, meaning \"needle\"; and the species name is Latin for \"tall\", though *R. excelsa* is not the tallest in the genus. ## Description *Rhapis excelsa* grows up to 4 m in height and 30 mm in diameter in multi-stemmed clumps with glossy, palmate evergreen leaves divided into broad, ribbed segments. Leaf segments are single or few in young plants and increase to a dozen or more in mature plants; segments are divided to the petiole. Leaf-ends are saw-toothed unlike most other palms, occurring on slender petioles ranging from 20 to 60 cm in length. New foliage emerges from a fibrous sheath which remains attached to the base. As the plants age, the sheaths fall, revealing the bamboo-like trunks. This usually dioecious palm species produces a small inflorescence at the top of the plant with spirally-arranged, fleshy yellow flowers containing three petals fused at the base. Ripe fruit are fleshy and white, though *R. excelsa* more readily propagates via underground rhizome offshoots. In the UK this plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society\'s Award of Garden Merit. ## Gallery Image:Rhapisexcelsainflorescence.JPG\|Immature inflorescence Image:Rhapisexcelsafoliage.JPG\|*R. excelsa* foliage Image:Rhapisexcelsatrunks.JPG\|Sheathed and exposed stems Image:Rexcelsafruit.JPG\|In fruit Image:Excelsaleaf.JPG\|Proximally tomentose abaxial midribs <File:觀音棕竹> Rhapis excelsa 20221104191946 01.jpg\|Stems clustered.

# Martin Litton (pianist) **Martin Litton** (born 14 May 1957) is a British jazz pianist born in Grays, Essex, UK, noteworthy for his early work with Kenny Ball from 1983 to 1984 on his tour of the Middle East and tour of Russia and for a recording session with Humphrey Lyttelton. Litton\'s fluency of style(s) and the historical context he brings to his jazz piano has taken him around the world, playing with and respected by many of the great names in jazz, past and present. His keyboard skills have been honed by his attention to detail and personal discipline both in terms of musicianship as well as knowledge of the development of jazz piano. An early review summary by Ken Rattenbury of Litton\'s jazz piano playing has been echoed by many critics bringing similar epithets throughout his career: \'a delicious fun thing bubbles from start to finish, with Martin Litton piano, arranger, a lyrical strider, well versed in the elusive art of accompaniment, lovely soloist, and with a rare way with ragtime\'. Litton has been described as a stride piano expert. His Gramercy Five band recreated the small group swing style of Artie Shaw. ## Early life {#early_life} Litton was born 14 May 1957 in Grays, Essex, UK, and from the age of eight grew up in Bovingdon, Hertfordshire. He started piano lessons at the age of eleven and soon discovered the music of Jelly Roll Morton. In order to better master the style of this New Orleans pioneer, Litton spent his teens making transcriptions of the piano solos. Martin Litton studied music at Colchester Institute, graduating with a BA (Honours) degree in 1978. There he met future colleagues Martin Wheatley and Paul Lacy with whom he formed the band The Faculty of Jazz. During his final year he took time out to play in London with one of the oldest established traditional jazz bands, Steve Lane\'s Southern Stompers.

# Martin Litton (pianist) ## Career ### Early career {#early_career} His playing style is influenced by the likes of Jelly Roll Morton, Willie \'The Lion\' Smith and Teddy Wilson to name just a few. An early career breakthrough came through playing with Kenny Ball from 1983 - 1985 on his British and Russian tours and for recording sessions with George Chisholm. By 1987 James Asman was writing of Litton in the Jazz Rag magazine that he possessed an \'ability to play jazz piano in a way that sparkles and swings in sympathy with the clarinettist \.... setting him amongst the very best his country has to offer\'. The 1990s, saw, inter alia, the release of Litton\'s First Piano Album. Jazz Journal specifically commented that he had matured and developed his skills and his appreciation of all styles of jazz music whilst remaining true to his, and its, roots. Such development has been a constant theme in Litton\'s career and the noughties gave reviews praising his knowledge of the styles and the historical development of jazz including Dixieland. ### 1980--1990: early career success and breakthrough with Kenny Ball {#early_career_success_and_breakthrough_with_kenny_ball} After gaining a foothold on the London jazz scene with Steve Lane, Litton joined Harry Gold\'s Pieces of Eight band before becoming a member in 1983 of Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen. He toured with Kenny Ball for two years notably in Russia and the Middle East. He left the band in 1984 and expanded his repertoire and developed further his musical piano playing styles by playing alongside notable American jazz musicians including Bob Wilbur, Scott Hamilton, George Masso, Peanuts Hucko, Kenny Davern, Joe Muranyi and Al Casey. ### 1990--2000: European and world tours with the Swedish Jazz Kings {#european_and_world_tours_with_the_swedish_jazz_kings} During the 1990s Litton continued expanding his range of jazz piano work with leading British musicians including recordings with Humphrey Lyttelton, Wally Fawkes and Digby Fairweather. He toured Britain and Europe with Keith Smith\'s Hefty Jazz and was pianist with Bob Hunt\'s Duke Ellington orchestra. It was during this period that he formed his own eight-piece band, Martin Litton\'s Red Hot Peppers, playing the music of Jelly Roll Morton. He was a regular recording and performing artist with the Swedish Jazz Kings touring Scandinavia, Japan and Australia. His first solo CD \'Martin Litton Jazz Piano\' was short listed in Jazz Journal\'s 1994 critics poll. His next CD \'Falling Castle\' was described as \'a gem\' by the Jazz Rag magazine. This last CD established Litton firmly with an already familiar audience in France. \'Bulletin hcf\' in May 1999 described his playing ability in terms of: rondeur des basses, délicatesse du toucher, stabilité du tempo, tout test réuni pour produire une belle et swinguante musique : bravo Martin!

# Martin Litton (pianist) ## Career ### 2000--2010: continued popularity {#continued_popularity} The early part of the noughties through to 2010 saw Martin playing with the Swedish Kings in Australia during which it was noted that \'Litton\'s playing is quite delicate\...and was, a refreshing change from the typical \'steam-roller\' approach to Fats Waller\'s music. His playing within the ensemble was understated and swinging\'. Similarly when with an Alyn Shipton quintet in Jazz Ascona Switzerland he showcased a \'fine tribute to Fats Waller\'. He continued to tour the UK in between overseas visits and achieved notable success in Bing and Bob, A Tribute to the Crosby Brothers at the Purcell Room London. The late jazz critic Jack Masserik writing of Litton\'s performance in the Evening Standard noted \'how Martin\'s knowledge of the styles and development of jazz including Dixieland had been showcased in the octet and that behind the four-man front line, rhythm guitarist Neville Skrimshire tripped a feathery four-to-the bar and pianist Martin Litton strode like a latter-day Joe Sullivan. It was during this time that Litton became noted for his entertaining piano talks, explaining the development of jazz and piano styles before demonstrating by his playing of certain pieces. During this period Litton was approached by the Royal Schools of Music. The introduction of jazz into the examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music meant that a new type of jazz book was needed and Charles Beale\'s guides were published by the Associated Board itself to which Litton and others in the jazz field contributed by writing test pieces for the student examination board. This aspect of his skill gained wider recognition in programmes for BBC Radio 3 with presenter Alyn Shipton including transmissions of Jazz Library. These latter broadcasts were devoted to the recordings of Morton, Waller and Hines whose piano styles were dissected and commented upon. During and after this period Litton continued working with Pete Long\'s Bebop Repertory Quintet playing the music of Dizzy Gillespie as well as being the pianist and musical director for a series of CDs featuring Clare Teal. The first of these CDs \'That\'s The Way It Is\' was highly acclaimed and given regular airplay on Michael Parkinson\'s BBC Radio 2 programme.

# Martin Litton (pianist) ## Career ### 2010--present: current projects {#present_current_projects} This current decade sees Litton consistently playing at full stretch. On the album White Heat, the Tuxedo Dance Orchestra featuring Litton \'complete with Debussy-inspired introduction and the seldom heard verse\... the last track a perfect example of all the qualities that had gone into making this CD such a pleasure to listen to: top quality songs, fresh, imaginative arrangements, and virtuoso musicianship, engaging vocals and above all the feeling that you are listening to a group of musicians who believe in and love the music they are presenting. Litton performs regularly with the Harry Strutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra and The Jiving Lindy Hoppers Dance Troupe as part of the Swinging at the Cotton Club show\... as well as joining smaller gigs and club appearances. These appearances range from accompanist such as to vocalist Janice Day in keeping the wonderful sounds of the 30s and 40s alive, to a double piano act at the Customs House, South Shields. This latter event, reviewed by Ann Alex said it was as, \'if we were at a Harlem rent party or a New Orleans bordello, the tunes and anecdotes tumbled out from these two gentlemen, dressed for the occasion in smart trousers and grey waistcoat (Martin), and (Nick) in black and red striped blazer, equally stylish trousers \.....marvellous, lively up and at \'em rags and stride..bit frustrated I wanted to dance\'. Litton\'s musicianship also extends to jazz history especially ragtime. At one such society lecture Litton talked about the history of ragtime, playing pieces from the many important figures in its development including Scott Joplin, Tom Turpin, Joseph Lamb, James Scott and Luckey Roberts. Following the lecture / demonstration the chairperson praised the new insights gained by the society into ragtime that evening leaving the audience \'asking for more\'. A reminiscence to hold and take Litton forward from the middle of this current decade is a review of his playing with the Buck Clayton Legacy Band when\.....\'both sets were punctuated by his extraordinarily virtuosic solo piano spot. He condensed the Ellington Orchestra\'s 20s Washington Wabble into explosive, complex stride, playing all the parts of the orchestra simultaneously. ## Equipment Litton\'s playing preference is for an acoustic piano although when necessary he uses his own Nord electric keyboard.

# Martin Litton (pianist) ## Personal life {#personal_life} From his early years at home in Bovingdon, followed by formal piano studies in Colchester, Litton entered the London jazz scene with Steve Lane, before joining Harry Gold\'s Pieces of Eight band followed by becoming a member in 1983 of Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen. During the 1990s Litton continued expanding his work with leading British musicians including recordings with Humphrey Lyttelton, Wally Fawkes and Digby Fairweather. During the 1991 Hay-on-Wye jazz festival he met and subsequently married Rebekah Morley-Jones. The couple were married in 1992, and the marriage lasted eleven years. They had no children. In 2017 Litton married his partner, the singer / entertainer Janice Day (née David) with whom he continues to perform in cabaret and at jazz festivals. Their theatre shows include the \'Dance Band Divas\' and \'Fats Waller in Love\'. Martin Litton currently spends his time between his cottage in Hay-on-Wye and his base in south London.

# Theatre Strike Force upright 1.2\|thumb\|Members of Theatre Strike Force pose during their \"12 Hours of Improv\" philanthropy event, March 2008 **Theatre Strike Force** is the University of Florida\'s premier improv and sketch comedy troupe. The group also goes by TSF. The style of improv performed by Theatre Strike Force is a combination long form and short form. They both teach and perform improvisational comedy. They have six house teams which include both forms of improv as well as a sketch team. There are four long form house teams which are cast every semester and usually have six to eight members. The TSF Short Form Team is cast every semester as well and usually has fifteen to nineteen members. TSF Sketch is the final house team and usually has twelve to sixteen members, cast each semester. The original purpose of Theatre Strike Force is to provide social and political commentary in a thought-provoking and comedic manner. This is achieved through performing improvisational and sketch comedy that is both entertaining and socially engaging. Membership within Theatre Strike Force currently exceeds 60 members. Over time, Theatre Strike Force leaned further from its political roots, moving more towards Chicago style improv and in recent years, UCB style improv. ## History Theatre Strike Force has been a comedic fixture at the University of Florida since 1989. Founded by Dr. Judith Williams and Sid Homan, both of the UF School of Theatre and Dance, the improvisational group initially performed experimental \"street theatre\" that was satirical in nature. In the mid 90s, the group came under the direction of Heather Roberts, who fused TSF\'s social and political consciousness with a more comedy-based style of improvisation. Roberts also created The Sunday Group, the first long form team. Now, with regular performances for packed audiences and ever increasing membership, TSF has become one of the largest and most popular collegiate comedy groups in the nation. Although best known for \"short-form\" improv (popularized on the TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway?), TSF also performs long-form improv and sketch comedy. Many TSF alumni have moved on to Chicago, New York City, and Los Angeles, joining the ranks of some of the best improvisers in the country. Their Sunday Group improv team was the subject of Whether the Weather, a documentary about college improvisation. ## Activities Theatre Strike Force performs weekly on Fridays in events called House Party Shows on the University of Florida campus or in the Gainesville community. TSF has also performed for Dance Marathon and Relay for Life in addition to other charities and student organizations in Gainesville. Theatre Strike Force offers an open and formal course in learning to perform improv through their \"Academy\".

# Theatre Strike Force ## Organization ### Academy TSF may function as a performance group, but at its heart is also a training ground for inspiring comedians. Divided into 4 Levels, the Academy offers several different experience levels for aspiring improvisers. Once students have sufficiently learned the techniques in a specific level and feel comfortable proceeding with their training, they are allowed to proceed to the next level. Level 1 covers basic performance techniques, such as support and \"Yes, and\...\", while covering some of the games performed by the TSF Short-Form Team. Level 2 is a short form intensive that drills games TSF frequently plays in shows, practices new games, and experiments with making the games more challenging. Level 3 is the introduction to long form, covering basic forms with an emphasis on strong scenework. Level 4 is the experimental long form group featuring TSF\'s most experienced players practicing more advanced forms. Throughout the semester, each Level has four performance dates where they will perform with two other Levels and showcase what they have learned over the course of their class. These shows are an opportunity to invite friends and family to see the progress they\'ve made in their training. ### Short-Form Team {#short_form_team} The TSF Short Form team is a way to showcase the best of what short-form improv comedy can be. The players on this audition-based team are the face of TSF. Performances ranging from shows in residence halls and auditoriums on campus to shows at other colleges and festivals are this team\'s role. These are the best short-form players TSF has to offer and are among the best in the state. The Short-Form Team is currently directed by Shalec Grears. ### Sunday Group {#sunday_group} The Sunday Group is an elite troupe of improvisers that performs long-form improv. They represent the best Strike Force has to offer. The Sunday Group performs at a wide range of events including shows on campus, at local bars, and a medley of shows at Gainesville\'s prestigious Hippodrome State Theatre. The Sunday Group has gained acceptance to various improv festivals, including the Chicago, Miami, Blackbox, and Dirty South Festivals. They also perform regularly in the Gainesville Improv Festival. The Sunday Group has also competed in a number of improv tournaments. In November 2009, the Sunday Group (competing under the name of its parent organization, Theatre Strike Force) won the Southeast regional tournament in the College Improv Tournament, sponsored by the Chicago Improv Festival. They competed in the semi-finals on February 10, 2010, but lost to The Titanic Players from Northwestern University, who went on to win their second CIT title in three years. In both 2018 and 2019, they won the South regional tournament in Atlanta and were finalists at the national tournament in Chicago. ### Delta Group {#delta_group} Created in January 2009, the Delta Group is the intermediate long-form team of TSF. Most members have been studying and performing improv for at least a year. The Delta Group is TSF\'s experimental team, playing with both organic, Chicago-style improv and fast-paced, New York-style improv. The Delta Group is currently directed by Matthew Morrow. ### Apprentice Group {#apprentice_group} The Apprentice Group, or \"A.G.\", is the beginner\'s long form team within TSF. It is geared mainly towards students who have little to no experience with long form improv and serves to teach the basics of improv through introductory forms. Almost everyone that has ever been in the Sunday Group has learned their craft in the Apprentice Group. Specializing in their own quick-paced style of long-form, the Apprentice Group performs both with Theatre Strike Force\'s other house teams and on their own. The Apprentice Group is currently directed by Aimee Sinclair. ### TSF Sketch {#tsf_sketch} Founded January 2008, TSF Sketch is a team of comedy writers that meets weekly to collaborate in developing ideas and writing sketches. Their mission is to provide Theatre Strike Force with a flow of sketches to use to entertain audiences in the local Gainesville community and beyond. TSF Sketch is not currently active. ## Notable alumni {#notable_alumni} Many improvisers and comedians across the nation got their starts at Theatre Strike Force including: Alumni Notability ---------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Arnett Director of the training center at iO Chicago.

# 1993–94 Vancouver Canucks season The **1993--94 Vancouver Canucks season** was the Canucks\' 24th NHL season. Vancouver finished the season second in their division and qualified for the playoffs as the number seven seed. In the playoffs, the Canucks pulled several upsets and reached the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in franchise history. In the finals they fell behind the New York Rangers three games to one before making a comeback to force a Game 7. Vancouver fell short in its bid to capture the franchise\'s first Stanley Cup losing Game 7 by a final of 3--2. During the regular season, Pavel Bure tied his own club record for goals in a season, originally set in the 1992--93 season. Bure\'s 60 goals led the NHL and as a result he was named a First Team NHL All-Star. Kirk McLean won a team leading 23 games during the regular season, only 8 more than the 15 he recorded in the post-season games. Jeff Brown officially led the team in assists, but did not join the team till after the trade deadline when he was acquired from St. Louis. In the playoffs, both Bure and captain Trevor Linden were very productive. Bure led all forwards in playoff scoring finishing second overall to Brian Leetch. However, Bure led the league in playoff goals with Linden tied for second. McLean led the playoffs in minutes played, shots against and saves while he and the Rangers Mike Richter tied for the lead in playoff shutouts. McLean finished fourth in goals against average and save percentage. ## Regular season {#regular_season}

# Coudé Auxiliary Telescope The **Coudé Auxiliary Telescope** (**CAT**) is a coudé focus telescope located at the Lick Observatory near San Jose, California, south of Shane Dome, Tycho Brahe Peak. The Coudé Auxiliary Telescope, built in 1969, is a 0.6m (24-inch) reflecting telescope in a stationary position at a fixed focus. The CAT is generally used for observation of brighter stars, since it collects less light than the 120-inch Shane

# New Farm Loch **New Farm Loch** (Scottish Gaelic: *Loch Tuathanais Ùr*) is a suburb to the North-East of Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Scotland and was created in the late 1960s by a number of builders to accommodate the growing population of Kilmarnock. New Farm Loch officially opened in 1968 with the first houses to be occupied by residents in 1968 were at MacDonald Drive, MacKenzie Drive, MacKinnon Drive, MacLeod Place, MacNab Place, MacPhail Drive, MacNaughton Drive and MacNeil Place. ## History ### The New Farm Loch {#the_new_farm_loch} The loch was constructed there by co-operation between the Duke of Portland\'s factor and the local curling clubs. Newfarm Loch, which was once popular as a curling rink, was rented by several curling clubs, The loch site is still bordered by mature trees planted to provide shelter for the curlers. It is however surrounded on three sides by houses and apartments built between 1968 and the mid-1970s. New Farm itself no longer exists; it stood about one field\'s distance away from the loch. Prior to being built up, New Farm Loch on the north east side of Kilmarnock was prone to seasonal flooding. In winter, when the water froze over, it was used as a curling rink. As well as curling, the frozen pond at New Farm Loch in Kilmarnock was popular with skaters. ### The Estate {#the_estate} The estate was built on the lands of South Dean Farm, Newfarm, and parts of Whinpark Farm and West Wardlaw Farm. The latter two still survive, and South Dean Farm is retained in the name of South Dean Road, along which it sat. The working class estate is a warren of streets, split by a central carriageway named Grassyards Road. One side of the road is known locally as \'The Courts\'. New Farm Loch was built by Scottish Special Housing.

# New Farm Loch ## Demographics ### Education New Farm had, until April 2018, 3 primary schools, namely Silverwood Primary, St. Andrews Primary (connected with St. Josephs Academy) and New Farm Primary (connected with James Hamilton Academy). New Farm and Silverwood Primaries have merged to become James Hamilton Primary whilst the Gaelic School previously based at Onthank Primary has now relocated to New Farm Loch. Until 2018 there were two secondary schools in New Farm Loch the James Hamilton Academy and the town\'s only Roman Catholic Secondary School, St Joseph\'s Academy, which was re-built in 2008. In April 2018 James Hamilton Academy merged with nearby Kilmarnock Academy and is housed in the new William McIlvanney Campus along with James Hamilton Primary and the Gaelic School, Kilmarnock Academy is now the non-denominational Secondary School within New Farm Loch. East Ayrshire Council approved plans for the merger of James Hamilton Academy with Kilmarnock Academy to create a new secondary school and the merger of New Farm Primary School and Early Childhood Centre with Silverwood Primary School to create a new primary school with Early Childhood Centre, which will be co-located on a 3-18 campus on the existing Sutherland Drive site. The completion of this project was in 2018. New Farm Loch also contains Willowbank School, which caters for primary and secondary children with a range of severe, complex and profound additional support needs. ### Transport The area is located about two miles North and East from Kilmarnock town centre which contains the town\'s Bus and Train stations.

# Gustavo Testa **Gustavo Testa** (28 July 1886 -- 28 February 1969) was an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church, who was made a cardinal in 1959. He spent his career in the Roman Curia. He entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See in 1920 and held several appointments as papal nuncio from 1934 to 1959. He headed the Congregation for the Oriental Churches from 1962 to 1968. ## Biography Born to a wealthy family in Boltiere, in the province of Bergamo, Testa attended the Pontifical Lateran University, Pontifical Roman Athenaeum *S. Apollinare*, and Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. He was ordained to the priesthood on 28 October 1910, and finished his studies in 1912. After a period of pastoral work in Bergamo and teaching at its seminary, Testa entered the Roman Curia, in the Secretariat of State, in 1920. He then served as secretary of the nunciature to Austria until 1923. Testa was raised to the rank of Privy Chamberlain of His Holiness on 28 October 1921, and later Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on 18 May 1923. He was also named auditor for the Bavarian nuniciature in 1927 before becoming counselor of the nunciature to Italy in 1929. On 4 June 1934, Testa was appointed Titular Archbishop of Amasea and Apostolic Delegate to Egypt, Arabia, Crete, Abyssinia, Palestine, Transjordan, and Cyprus. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 1 November from Cardinal Ildefonso Schuster, OSB, with Bishops Adriano Bernareggi and Angelo Roncalli serving as co-consecrators. Testa was later named the first Apostolic Delegate to Palestine, Transjordania and Cyprus when it was established on 11 February 1948, and Nuncio to Switzerland on 6 March 1953. Pope John XXIII created him Cardinal-Priest of San Girolamo dei Croati in the consistory of 14 December 1959.

As Secretary of the Congregation for Oriental Churches, he accompanied Pope Paul on his journey to the Holy Land in 1964.

# The Love Machine (film) ***The Love Machine*** is a 1971 American drama film directed by Jack Haley Jr. from a screenplay by Samuel Taylor, based on the 1969 novel of the same name by Jacqueline Susann. It stars Dyan Cannon, Robert Ryan, Jackie Cooper, David Hemmings, William Roerick, Maureen Arthur, Shecky Greene, Clinton Greyn, Sharon Farrell, Jodi Wexler, and John Phillip Law. ## Plot Robin Stone, a handsome, ambitious newsman for a New York television station, attracts the attention of Judith Austin, wife of Gregory Austin, the head of the IBC network. Concerned about ratings, Greg is encouraged by Judith to hire Robin as IBC\'s new anchorman. Although he opposes Greg\'s decision, Danton Miller, the head of programming, is unable to overrule his boss. Soon afterward, feeling threatened by Greg\'s support of Robin\'s plan to take his newscast to prime-time, Dan decides to build a variety show around second-rate comedian Christie Lane to prove that the audience prefers crass entertainment to more cerebral programming. Christie is a hit in the ratings, and Jerry Nelson, a homosexual friend of Robin, arranges for the show\'s sponsor to hire Amanda, a fashion model and Robin\'s occasional girlfriend, as the on-air representative of its product. After her first spot airs, Amanda skips a celebratory party and goes to Robin. Shattered when she finds Robin with a nude woman, she attends the party alone. Christie Lane, smitten with Amanda, proposes marriage when a drunken Amanda agrees to go home with him. Judith persuades Robin to have lunch with her, but they end up in bed instead. During their rendezvous, Greg suffers a severe heart attack. Judith, who holds Greg\'s power of attorney, appoints Robin to act as head of the network while she takes her husband to Switzerland to recuperate. Soon afterward, having rejected Amanda yet again, Robin is shaken by the news of Amanda\'s suicide. He goes out for a walk. Propositioned by a prostitute, he accompanies her to his room, but then changes his mind, and beats up the hooker. He then confesses to Jerry, who agrees to provide an alibi for Robin. In return, Jerry asks for a slave bracelet engraved with Robin\'s name. Judith returns to New York with Greg, now recovered. When Robin refuses to resume their affair, Judith convinces her husband to reclaim control of the network, thereby demoting Robin. In response, Robin threatens to quit entirely, a move which would result in problems between Greg and the shareholders. When Robin visits Los Angeles, Jerry persuades him to attend a party at the home of the actor Alfie Knight, Jerry\'s new boyfriend. Robin, in turn, invites Judith who is also in the city. At the party, Robin is pleased to see aspiring actress Maggie Stewart, who rebuffs him. Judith, meanwhile, becomes annoyed when Robin neglects her for Jerry and Alfie. After most of the guests have gone, Judith, still angry, finds Jerry\'s slave bracelet on the floor. Reading the inscription, she threatens to expose Robin. Jerry and Alfie try to retrieve the bracelet, which leads to a brawl. Soon the police arrive, and Robin explains the fight by claiming that he had instigated it by making a drunken pass at Judith. Later, as Robin leaves the police station, his reputation in ruins, Maggie Stewart pulls up in her car and asks him if he needs a ride. He declines. ## Cast

She has a brief cameo in the film as a television newscaster. Just prior to the start of filming, actor Brian Kelly, who had been cast as Robin Stone, was involved in a near-fatal motorcycle accident. He was replaced by John Phillip Law. Although significantly taller than Kelly, Law was compelled to wear costumes which had been designed for Kelly, with the result that the ill-fitting clothes are apparent in the finished film. The campy scene where Judith gets in a fight with Jerry and his boyfriend was a case of art imitating life for Dyan Cannon, who had had a backstage quarrel with gay co-star Dick Kallman while doing the play *How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying*. During one of their matches, Kallman slammed a door on her hand. She still has the scar on her finger. ## Release The film opened August 6, 1971 at the Loew's State 2 and Loew's Orpheum theaters in New York City with 450 prints released around the United States by August 27. ## Reception Reviews of the film were mostly negative. *Chicago Sun-Times* film critic Roger Ebert wrote: > John Phillip Law is pretty bored in *The Love Machine*. He plays an artifact only slightly more animated than the monoliths in *2001: A Space Odyssey* and symbolizing a great deal less. He is surrounded by a galaxy (or perhaps gallery is the word) of Hollywood character actors who seem as desperate as he is, and the final effect is of *Search for Tomorrow* on downers. > > My notion is that you\'ve either got to handle this material all-out or avoid it. There\'s nothing more disgusting than vulgarity done as if it were in good taste. It\'s hypocritical and it\'s dirty. When you give junk like this an expensive production, with two Dionne Warwick songs and only four glimpses of the sound boom, you\'re missing the elementary kind of vitality it could have had. The film is listed in Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilson\'s book *The Official Razzie Movie Guide* as one of the 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made

# Cecil McVilly **Cecil Leventhorpe McVilly** MC, (3 August 1889 -- 4 November 1964) was an Australian representative rower and WWI military officer. He was a three-time Australian champion sculler and the first sculler to represent Australia at an Olympic games, rowing at the 1912 Summer Olympics; in 1913, he won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at the Henley Royal Regatta. As an AIF Lieutenant in the Tasmanian raised 40th Battalion, he saw action on the Western Front and later in Mesopotamia and the Defence of Baku. He was awarded the Military Cross for his leadership at the 2nd Battle of Messines. ## Early life and rowing career {#early_life_and_rowing_career} McVilly was born in Hobart, Tasmania, the son of Joseph Henry McVilly, a newspaper editor, and his wife Marion Jane Thompson, née Smith. He was educated at the Hutchins School and Queen\'s College, Hobart, where he took up rowing. He was a sculler, and from 1908 to 1910, he raced as a Derwent Rowing Club competitor at Hobart Club regattas and Tasmanian state regattas. He won the Maiden Sculls and the Ellis Dean Cup at the Norfolk regatta in 1908, placed second to Fred Coverdale in the Tasmanian Championships in 1909, and placed third at the Hobart regatta in 1910. Racing as the Tasmanian state entrant, he thrice won the Australian sculling championship at the Interstate Regattas in 1910, 1911 and 1914. In 1911, in planning to defend his Australian title, he trained in Sydney under the former world professional champion George Towns. In 1912 McVilly first contested the Henley Royal Regatta, racing in the Diamond Challenge Sculls event in Derwent Rowing Club colours. He was beaten by Alexander McCulloch of Leander in his first match race. He went on to the 1912 Stockholm Olympics where he participated in the single sculls rowing for Australasia at the 1912 Summer Olympics. He was disqualified for interference in his first heat following a collision with his German competitor Martin Stahnke. Following the Olympics McVilly stayed in London, rowing from the London Rowing Club with his sights set on Henley 1913. In the lead-up he won the Challenge Sculls event at the Marlow Regatta. Racing again in Derwent Rowing Club colours at Henley in 1913 he won the Diamond Challenge Sculls beating E Pink . Following his return to Australia, he was again the national sculling champion for a third time in 1914. That year he also coached the Tasmanian eight to their first victory in the men\'s eight at the Interstate Regatta. ## Military career {#military_career} McVilly had been a senior cadet at school and then served for four years with the Derwent Infantry - a military reserve unit - attaining the rank of Sergeant. In December 1915, he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the AIF and posted to \'B\' Coy, 40th Bttn. a battalion recruited completely from Tasmania as part of the 10th Brigade, 3rd Division. McVilly was promoted to Lieutenant in May 1916 and, in July, embarked aboard HMAT *Berrima* to England for training. In November 1916, the 3rd Division, including the 40th Bttn, was transferred to France, where McVilly was promoted to captain in December. In early 1917, he was training raiding parties at the Ecole Professionale, Armentières. He led \'B\' Coy, 40th Bttn at the 2nd Battle of Messines on 6--7 June 1917 and was awarded the Military Cross for leadership under intensive enemy bombardment. He was badly wounded during the Third Battle of Ypres, at Broodseinde on 4 October. McVilly was picked for special service in Mesopotamia and, in January 1918, set out for Basra in the Persian Gulf. He joined Dunsterforce in March 1918 and took part in the defence of Baku on the Caspian Sea in August. He was mentioned in dispatches on 21 February for special service in Mesopotamia. He was demobilised to Australia in March 1919. ## Post-war professional and rowing {#post_war_professional_and_rowing} Postbellum McVilly became a Captain on the reserve of officers of the Australian Military Forces. From 1919, he worked for the Repatriation Commission in Tasmania until, in 1929, he was appointed Inspector of Charities in Victoria. He became Chairman of the Victorian Hospitals and Charities Commission in 1948. In 1921, McVilly was selected in the six seat of the Tasmania men\'s eight, which contested and placed second at the King\'s Cup at the 1921 Interstate Regatta. He then coached the Tasmanian King\'s Cup eights of 1925 (second place) and 1926 (victors). He was the Honorary Auditor of the Derwent Rowing Club and the Tasmanian Rowing Association secretary. He was Australia\'s sole selector for the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, picking Bobby Pearce who won gold in the single sculls.

# Rosewood Center The **Rosewood Center** was an institution for people with developmental disabilities located on Rosewood Lane in Owings Mills, Maryland. It was established in 1888 as the **Asylum and Training School for the Feeble-Minded**. From 1912 to 1961, it was known as the **Rosewood State Training School**. In 1961, the facility was renamed as the **Rosewood State Hospital**. After the state departments of health and mental hygiene merged in 1969, the facility was renamed the **Rosewood Center**. On January 15, 2008, the state of Maryland announced that Rosewood would be closed in the near future, and the center began the process of transferring residents to other facilities. It finally closed on June 30, 2009. ## History ### 19th Century origins {#th_century_origins} In March 1888, The Maryland Legislature approved \"An Act to establish and incorporate an Asylum and Training School for the Feeble Minded of the State of Maryland\" (Chapter 183, Acts of 1888) which empowered a seventeen-member Board of Visitors to direct the selection of a site for a school which \"shall receive, care for and educate all idiotic, imbecile and feeble-minded persons\". Despite this sweeping command, only ten thousand dollars was appropriated for the land and buildings, with a five thousand dollar annual appropriation thereafter. The asylum was to be free of charge for all indigent children between seven and seventeen years of age, charging two hundred and fifty dollars for all other children. Because of the inadequate housing and appropriation and the number of eligible applicants (conservatively estimated by the State Board of Health in 1884 at 1,319) the Board of Visitors had to adopt a restrictive admissions policy. Set forth by the Board in 1899, the admission policy confined itself to \"those who are susceptible of a certain degree of training with the view to their being developed into a condition of utility and self-support, in other words it shall be a training school and not custodial. Only white children between seven and seventeen years of age were admitted. Boys were taught farming, gardening and carpentry while girls learned sewing, washing, milking and horticulture, as well as training for domestic service. With these skills, it was hoped that the inmates would be self-supporting on their release at seventeen. The training served another purpose as well, as the Board often displayed an almost obsessive desire to have the asylum be self-supporting. Much of the food was grown or raised on the surrounding farm and virtually all the clothes and table linen were made by the girls. All laundry and cleaning was done by the inmates and their labor was even used during the excavations for new buildings in 1892 and 1900. The farm continued in operation until the 1960s.

# Rosewood Center ## History ### 20th century {#th_century} In 1900 the Board unsuccessfully proposed the construction of a separate school for the \"colored feeble-minded\" and for an additional building for epileptic children. The latter hope was realized when the Thom Cottage was erected in 1896 through a private donation. Another hope was realized when in 1894 and 1907 the Maryland Legislature passed bills to transfer all insane and feeble-minded patients from county almshouses to state institutions. While this created pressure on the physical plant at Rosewood, it also ensured continued state funding. From 1911 to 1933, 166 patients, mostly women and girls, left Rosewood under habeas corpus writs; they were subject to human trafficking, bought by the rich as indentured servants and unpaid laborers, often callously treated and often abandoned by their \"carers.\" Leo Kanner denounced this scandal in front of the American Psychiatric Association in 1937. In 1912 the name of the facility was changed to \"Rosewood Training School\", reflecting changes in professional attitudes and terminology. The school greatly expanded its capacity during the twentieth century and by 1968 had approximately 2,700 patients, a number nearly triple that of only seventeen years earlier. By World War II the nature of patient care at Rosewood had drastically changed since the 1890s. Originally the institution was charged with the training, education and care of children, and the building of classroom space had been deemed as important as the building of residential quarters. In fact, classrooms and patient wards were often found within the same building. Later, the emphasis shifted from the patient, this development and eventual release to need for protection of society by institutionalizing the patient for life. In 1943 the physically handicapped were admitted and in 1950 all age restrictions for admission were officially removed. Born out of the great humanitarian sentiments of the nineteenth century, Rosewood deteriorated into a custodial institution. Despite the rapid expansion of facilities during this period, Rosewood continually suffered from over-crowding and a shortage of staff, often resulting in unsatisfactory patient conditions. These conditions were periodically reported during the 1940s in newspaper stories, culminating in 1949 in the series of articles in The Baltimore Sun on Rosewood and other state hospitals titled, \"Maryland\'s Shame\". Public reaction to this expose and a series of grand jury reports in the 1950s focused attention on the need to better rehabilitate and eventually de-institutionalize patients while improving conditions for those requiring life-time care. In 1952, Dr. Howard A. Howe successfully inoculated children against polio at the Rosewood State Hospital, just before the pioneer inoculation programs of Dr. Jonas Salk who used a more refined vaccine that was easier to mass-produce. ### Modern era and integration {#modern_era_and_integration} The hospital was integrated in 1956 and African American patients at the mentally disabled unit of Crownsville State Hospital were transferred to Rosewood. In 1963, Henryton State Hospital was converted to an institution for the mentally disabled. After reaching a high in the late 1960s, the patient population sharply declined as the emphasis shifted to the integration of the people with developmental disabilities into the community. The trend toward deinstitutionalization of patients has continued, rendering many of the older custodial-care buildings obsolete. Several, including King, Thorn, Holland, Wyman and Hill cottages, were razed, in addition to many of the farm buildings. Between the 1950s and 1970s, as in many similar state-run institutions in the United States, there were numerous reports of malpractice, neglect and abuse. In 1981, the U.S. Justice Department declared that residents at Rosewood \"failed to receive minimally adequate care\". Further investigations confirmed the reports, leading to the older buildings\' being condemned in 1989. The old and new facilities stood directly across a field from each other, the newer facility actively housed over half of the people with developmental disabilities who reside in Maryland\'s four state-run institutions. The main building was burnt in a 2006 case of arson. ### Fire and closure {#fire_and_closure} On Sunday, March 8, 2009, one of Rosewood\'s vacant buildings was destroyed by fire. The building had previously been approved for demolition, so firefighters allowed the building to burn rather than attempt to put it out. The Maryland State Fire Marshal investigated the fire as possible arson. The State of Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene closed Rosewood on June 30, 2009. It was used as a training location for the Maryland state police until 2013, when a police officer in training was shot and killed on the location during a training exercise. At the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis there is a large collection of historic photos that illustrates the care of the Rosewood residents, and records related to patients and the administration of the hospital. ## Future plans {#future_plans} The Rosewood Center borders the Owings Mills campus of Stevenson University. Future expansion of Stevenson University may include acquisition of the Rosewood Center land, in whole or in part. Following resolution of environmental and surveyor issues, Stevenson announced in June 2017 that they were granted permission to acquire the Rosewood Center. Plans for the site include expansion for the School of Education and additional athletic fields.

# Methyl-MMDA-2 ***N*-Methyl-2-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine** (**methyl-MMDA-2**; **6-methoxy-MDMA**) is a psychedelic drug of the amphetamine class. It is the *N*-methylated derivative of MMDA-2, and it is also an analog of MDMA and 6-methyl-MDA. Methyl-MMDA-2 was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and was described in his book *PiHKAL*. He states that it is essentially inactive at a dose of 70 mg, and he did not try any higher; however, Methyl-MMDA-2 is still likely to be active, perhaps in the 125-250 mg range. This reduction in hallucinogenic activity relative to MMDA-2 parallels that of MDA and MDMA, indicating that with phenethylamines, *N*-methylation substantially reduces 5-HT~2A~ receptor affinity

# 38th Combat Support Wing The **38th Combat Support Wing** is an inactive wing of the United States Air Force. Its last assignment was with Third Air Force at Ramstein Air Base, Germany from 2004 until 2007. The mission of the wing was to enhance support to Third Air Force\'s geographically separated units. The Wing was first activated in Japan in 1948 as the **38th Bombardment Wing**, carrying on the history of the 38th Bombardment Group, which was one of the first Army Air Forces units to operate in the Pacific Theater after Pearl Harbor. The wing served as a light bomber unit in Japan until 1949, when it was inactivated. It was activated again in Europe in 1953. In 1958, the wing became the **38th Tactical Missile Wing** and controlled Martin TM-61 Matador and Martin MGM-13 Mace missile units in Germany until it was inactivated in 1966. Between 1972 and 1975 the wing was twice active as a flying training unit. It returned to the tactical missile mission in Europe until its missiles were withdrawn following the signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. From 1990 to 1994, as the **38th Engineering Installation Wing** it was responsible for the Air Force\'s in house design and installation of electronic equipment. ## History The 38th Bombardment Group was first established in 1940. It was one of the first Army Air Forces units to operate in the South West Pacific Area after Pearl Harbor. Its first aircraft arrived in New Caledonia in June 1942, but two of the group\'s aircraft had already taken part in the Battle of Midway. When the 38th Bombardment Wing was established in 1948, the wing was temporarily authorized to display the honors earned by the group prior to 14 August 1948. ### Light bomber operations {#light_bomber_operations} #### Far East Air Forces {#far_east_air_forces} The unit was first established at Itami Airfield, Japan as the **38th Bombardment Wing**, Light on 10 August 1948 when Far East Air Forces reorganized its units under the \"Hobson Plan\" wing base reorganization, in which combat groups and all supporting units on a base were assigned to a single wing. The 38th Bombardment Group, flying Douglas B-26 Invaders became its operational component. The wing assisted in the air defense of Japan and participated in tactical exercises. However, President Truman's reduced 1949 defense budget required reductions in the number of combat units in the Air Force to 48, and the 38th was inactivated on 1 April 1949. #### United States Air Forces in Europe {#united_states_air_forces_in_europe} The wing was reactivated on 1 January 1953 at Laon-Couvron Air Base, France, where it assumed the mission, personnel and equipment of the 126th Bombardment Wing, an Illinois Air National Guard unit that had been mobilized during the Korean War and was being returned to state control. Once again, the wing flew the Douglas B-26 Invader as its operational aircraft. The wing received its first Martin B-57B Canberra in June 1955, and began to replace its aging Douglas B-26 Invaders. With the B-57\'s arrival, the B-26s were returned to the United States. A total of 49 B-57B and eight dual control B-57C models were deployed to Laon. The mission of the B-57 was to provide a nuclear deterrent for NATO and to deliver nuclear weapons against pre-selected targets, day or night. The aircraft at Laon were painted a gloss black. The B-57 delivery was by the low altitude bombing system, in which the plane performed a vertical Immelmann turn, releasing the weapon when it was nearly vertical. An acrobatic team was organized and named the Black Knights using five B-57s. The Black Knights performed at several air shows around Western Europe, including the 1957 Paris Air Show. The Black Knights were the only tactical bomber show team in the world. In 1958, President de Gaulle announced that all nuclear weapons and delivery aircraft had to be removed from French soil by July 1958. This meant all tactical fighter and bombing wings had to depart France. ### First theater missile operations {#first_theater_missile_operations} Although the wing\'s bombers departed Europe, the 38th did not go with them. Instead, it became the **38th Tactical Missile Wing** and moved on paper to Hahn Air Base West Germany, where it replaced the 701st Tactical Missile Wing, which had been at Hahn since the fall of 1956. The wing assumed the operation of the 701st\'s Martin TM-61 Matador missiles, located on three bases in Germany. A little more than a year later, the wing moved its headquarters to Sembach Air Base, Germany. The wing later upgraded to the improved version of the Matador, the Martin TM-76 Mace. When the Mace was phased out of the inventory, te wing was inactivated in September 1966. ### Pilot training {#pilot_training} In 1972, Air Training Command (ATC) replaced its Major Command controlled flying training units with Air Force controlled units. As part of this program, The 38th was reactivated as the **38th Flying Training Wing** and replaced the 3640th Pilot Training Wing at Laredo Air Force Base, Texas on 1 August 1972. Its operational squadrons were the 70th and 71st Flying Training Squadrons. However, Laredo was marked for closure as Air Force pilot training requirements were reduced with the winding down of the War in Vietnam. The wing ended its pilot training in 28 August 1973, when it was inactivated. ATC\'s unit replacement program was continuing, however, and on 1 December 1973, the wing replaced another Major Command wing, the 3550th Pilot Training Wing, at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia. The 38th performed pilot training until 21 November 1975, when preparations to transfer Moody to Tactical Air Command were completed. On 1 December 1975 the 347th Tactical Fighter Wing moved to Moody from Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand and the mission of the base changed from pilot training to a tactical fighter operations. The 38th FTW was inactivated on 1 December 1975, with the personnel and equipment of its support units transferring to the 347th Wing.

# 38th Combat Support Wing ## History ### Return to theater missile operations {#return_to_theater_missile_operations} In April 1985, the **38th Tactical Missile Wing**, was activated at Wüschheim Air Station, West Germany. The wing was assigned to tactical missile operations, equipped with Ground-Launched Cruise Missiles (GLCM) to counter Soviet intermediate-range ballistic missiles from 1986--1990. The GLCMs (and their strategic cousins, the Pershing IIs) were deployed, in part, to balance/counter the deployment of the Soviet RSD-10 \'Pioner\' (SS-20) IRBM. It was this realization that led to the opening of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) talks and an INF treaty that eventually removed an entire class of nuclear arms from the superpower arsenals. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with the Soviet Union which went into effect on 1 June 1988, led to inactivation of the wing on 22 August 1990. During its time at Wüschheim Air Station, the 38 TMW was not configured as a separate, self-sustaining wing. It consisted of missile operations, missile maintenance and missile security but it did not have its own support units, such as finance, personnel, civil engineering, etc. Instead, support units within the nearby 50th Tactical Fighter Wing at Hahn Air Base were augmented with additional personnel to provide support to the 38th. ### Electronics engineering {#electronics_engineering} The 38th was activated again at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma in November 1994 as the *\'38th Engineering Installation Wing\',* to provide the Air Force with centralized management of worldwide electronics engineering and installation resources. The wing replaced the Communications Systems Center and absorbed its personnel and equipment, and reported to the Electronic Systems Center. The wing was inactivated in February 2000 and its functions were transferred to its subordinate 38th Engineering Installation Group at Tinker. ### Base support services {#base_support_services} The wing was again activated as the **38th Combat Support Wing** at Ramstein Air Base, Germany in May 2004 to support over 70 USAFE geographically separated units cross Europe. But a review found the wing actually created an extra layer of bureaucracy and isolated units would be better served without it. Also studies showed that larger, neighboring bases could offer better support for airmen scattered across the continent. The wing was inactivated on 30 September 2007.

# Emma Crewe **Emma Crewe** (born 1741, d. in or after 1795) was a British artist known for her designs for Josiah Wedgwood, and for her botanical art. ## Life Crewe was the daughter of Elizabeth Shuttleworth, herself daughter of Richard Shuttleworth (1683--1749), MP for Lancashire (1705--49), and John Crewe (1709--1752), MP for Cheshire (1734--52). She was the second of six children and was particularly close to her younger sister Elizabeth (1744--1826). Crewe did not marry. She was financially secure due to a family trust set up by her father before his death, and she lived part of the time with her brother John Crewe, 1st Baron Crewe and his wife, society hostess Frances Crewe, Lady Crewe, through whom she met Josiah Wedgwood. ## Work Along with Diana Beauclerk (1734--1808) and Elizabeth Templetown (1747--1823), Crewe contributed designs in the Romantic style to Josiah Wedgwood for reproduction in his studio in Rome. Crewe also made botanical art. She was part of Erasmus Darwin\'s circle and painted the Frontispiece to his *The Loves of the Plants* (2nd Ed., 1790). She was criticized for this piece by Richard Polwhele in *The Unsex\'d Females*: \"There is a charming delicacy in most of the pictures of Miss Emma Crewe; though I think, in her \"Flora at play with Cupid,\" ... she has rather overstepped the modesty of nature, by giving the portrait an air of voluptuousness too luxuriously melting.\" Her drawings and designs are held by the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and other notable institutions.

# Jeune-Canada **Jeune-Canada** (French for \"Young Canada\") was a Quebecois nationalist right-wing movement founded in and active during the 1930s. Launched in 1932 in reaction to the public nominations of unilingual anglophones, the movement reached its apogee the following year, in 1933. A manifesto (*Manifeste de la jeune génération*) was written by André Laurendeau under the guidance of Lionel Groulx. As a movement, Jeune-Canada was corporatist and ultramontanist; the group advocated for francophone rights in Canada and political and economic autonomy for Quebec. The movement gathered together many of the future elites who would later contribute to the Quiet Revolution, even though the ideals of the Quiet Revolution were quite different from those of Jeune-Canada. The movement was never officially dissolved; some members still declared themselves as members of Jeune-Canada in 1939. The files of the organization are maintained by the Lionel Groulx Foundation

# Copaifera langsdorffii ***Copaifera langsdorffii***, also known as the **diesel tree**, is a tropical rainforest tree. It has many names in local languages, including **kupa\'y**, **cabismo**, and **copaúva**. ## Biological description {#biological_description} *Copaifera langsdorffii* is a medium-sized to large tree usually reaching 12 m in height, with white flowers and small, oily fruits. The wood is light due to its porosity, and it is honeycombed with capillaries filled with oil. Tapping the tree involves cutting a well into which the oil seeps and where it can be easily collected. The tree does not grow well outside of the tropics. ## Uses ### Biodiesel use {#biodiesel_use} The diesel tree produces terpene hydrocarbons in its wood and leaves, and this had led to interest in the search for sources of renewable energy. According to early cited anecdotal reports, the tree could be tapped for 40 L of oil, and an acre of 100 mature trees could produce 25 barrels of oil yearly. These reports were carried in 2007 by Australian media after an Australian citizen in Mackay, Queensland imported seeds of the plant in hopes of growing diesel fuel in Australia. However, a 2003 study showed that the actual yields of oleoresin are considerably lower: small trees, with a diameter at breast height (DBH) of 35 centimeters, produce no oil at all; and medium sized trees (DBH between 55--65) produced more oil than large trees (DBH greater than 65). No tree in the study produced more than 1 L of fuel. A 2006 study by Oliviera et al. agreed with the 2003 study, and further found that the best time to tap the trees was in spring. Summarizing these findings, a report by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture stated: \"\[*C. langsdorffii*\'s\] likelihood as an efficient producer of readily extractable oleoresins appears very slim.\" The main compound in the oil is copaiba (15%), an oleoresin which is useful in the production of oil products such as lacquers and can be used as biodiesel. After filtration, this oil can be used in the engine of a regular diesel automobile. Some natives have been reported to use the fuel for cooking. ### Wood uses {#wood_uses} The wood is highly resistant to natural decay, and as such is used in carpentry where the tree is native. ### Beekeeping European honey bees are strongly attracted to the tree for its pollen, making it a mainstay of Brazilian apiculture. ### Medical Natives in the Amazon use the oil collected from the tree as a traditional medicine: primarily as an expectorant and antiseptic, but also for the treatment of skin diseases such as eczema and dermatosis. It has also recently been discovered that this oil is extremely good as a healing agent, therefore increasing the oil\'s value

# The Boy Who Cried Bitch ***The Boy Who Cried Bitch*** is a 1991 American independent drama film directed by Juan Jose Campanella and starring Harley Cross, Karen Young, Jason Biggs (in his first speaking role), Jesse Bradford and Adrien Brody. It was Campanella\'s feature film debut. It was based on real events. ## Plot The story focuses on Dan Love (Harley Cross), a young boy with misdiagnosed (or undiagnosed) mental condition(s), who slowly plunges the life of his mother, Candice (Karen Young), into an unbridled chaos. ## Cast - Harley Cross as Dan Love - Karen Young as Candice Love - Jesse Bradford as Mike Love - J.D. Daniels as Nick Love - Adrien Brody as Eddie - Jason Biggs as Robert - Moira Kelly as Jessica - Gene Canfield as Jim Cutler - Dennis Boutsikaris as Orin Fell - Reathel Bean as Dr. Goldstein - Edwina Lewis as Ann Marie, R.N. - Ru Flynn as Ruth Nussbaum - Kario Salem as Dr. Habib - John Rothman as Stokes - Samurel Wright as Richard - Perry Moore as William - Sean Ashby as Gene - Chris McKenna as Ross - Michael Miceli as Chet - Judd Trichter as Jay - Bruce McCarty as Gary - Sally Kaye Kaufman as Fern - Leslie Shenkel as Eddie\'s Father ## Production Much of the filming was done at the McGovern residence in Bronxville. Campanella said that the script was mostly based on the real life of screenwriter Catherine May Levin. ## Release and sequel {#release_and_sequel} Originally exhibited at the Boston Film Festival in 1991, the film contained an alternate ending. It was never given to the MPAA for examination, and thus remains unrated. It was followed by a semi-sequel called *The Boy Who Cried Bitch: The Adolescent Years* (2007), without the participation of many of the crew members of the original film, with the exception of scriptwriter Catherine May Levin

# The Last Remnant is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix. It was released worldwide for Xbox 360 in November 2008 and for Microsoft Windows in March 2009. A PlayStation 3 version was originally announced as well, but this version was cancelled. A remastered version titled *The Last Remnant Remastered* was released on PlayStation 4 in December 2018 and for Nintendo Switch in June 2019. The game follows a teenage warrior on a quest to end the war, in a fictional world divided into multiple city-states and inhabited by four different species. Their past includes a conflict over \"Remnants\", magical artifacts of varying forms. The game features a unique battle system in which the player commands multiple groups, or \"unions\", of characters rather than individual units. *The Last Remnant* is the first Square Enix game to use the Unreal Engine. It was intended by Square Enix president Yoichi Wada to \"become a cornerstone for \[their\] worldwide strategy\". The game\'s soundtrack was released as a three-disc album, composed by Tsuyoshi Sekito and Yasuhiro Yamanaka. The design and dialogue of the game were created to appeal to players worldwide, and motion capture for every character with the English-speaking dialogue. The game received a weak reception, though it was received more positively by Japanese reviewers than other ones. A common complaint, especially for Xbox 360, was of graphical problems including low framerates and \"texture pop-in\" where higher resolution textures would suddenly replace lower ones several seconds after a scene had started. Other issues included complaints about the game\'s storyline and battle system, though these were not as universal. The game received praise for art direction and music.

# The Last Remnant ## Gameplay The game is split between a world area, a battle area and a world map. The player controls Rush Sykes, as he travels around the world screen within an area, with the camera floating behind and slightly above him. Within the world screen, the player can talk to anyone, enter buildings and other areas, or exit to the map screen. The map allows instant travel between different cities and areas, or between different areas within the city. On the battle screen, the game has a three-dimensional area like the world screen with a setting reminiscent of the location, where every character and enemy appear. Instead of random encounters, players enter the separated battle when they touch an enemy on the main world screen. The player can enter a battle with multiple enemies at once, by using a \"time-shift\" system, which slows the time for Rush to provoke them. The game features a battle system labeled by Hiroshi Takai as a \"turn-based, command-based system using symbol encounters\". During a battle, each enemy from the world screen is represented by a group, or \"union\", of enemies ranging from one to five individual units; similarly the player\'s forces are composed of multiple unions of three to five units each. The skills of the units in the player\'s unions, which include both story characters and hireable units not appearing outside of battle, vary according to different parameters. One such parameter is the \"morale\" bar, which is affected by the events in battle and can have positive or negative effects on the battle forces. Each unit can also learn different attacks, which are divided into categories such as blade attacks and healing magic. At the beginning of each turn the player selects from a group of choices what attack types each union will perform; the player is unable to select the individual attack of each unit. Special attacks require \"action points\", which continually accrue during each battle. The player selects at the beginning of each turn which enemy union each of their unions will attack. As the enemy makes their selections at the same time, it is possible for a union to be \"deadlocked\", or forced to fight a different union than the player or enemy had selected. When multiple unions are deadlocked onto the same enemy, some unions can flank the enemy or attack from the rear for more damage. In addition to battles, the player can take on quests. Many of these take the player to an area immediately after accepting and returning them once completed, while \"guild quests\" do not require acceptance and may be turned in by the player whenever the accomplishments listed on each completed quests. The units may equip any weapons and accessories. Rush\'s equipment can be upgraded to many different options, while other units request materials, which can be purchased at stores, acquired in battles or found in areas using a creature called Mr. Diggs. He can upgrade abilities and find types of materials.

# The Last Remnant ## Plot ### Setting and characters {#setting_and_characters} The game is set in a fictional world featuring a number of distinct humanoid races: the Mitras, human in appearance, the Yamas, strong fish-like people, the Qsitis, small reptilians, and the Sovanis, feline people with four arms. The world itself is broken up into multiple city-states, each with their own unique culture. The story of the game revolves around \"Remnants\", ancient and powerful magical artifacts, which have been the cause of several wars. Each Remnant is \"bound\" to a specific person who can use the power. Powerful ones which remain unbound for too long have the potential to cause a \"collapse\" and spawn monsters. As Remnants come in varying forms, all cities throughout the world have at least one that their ruler is bound to that assist in governing and bring peace to their assigned realm. The protagonist is Rush Sykes, a young warrior from a small island. His sister, Irina, is kidnapped at the start of the game. He meets and joins David Nassau, the young ruler of the city-state of Athlum, and his generals: Emma Honeywell, Yama Blocter, Qsiti Pagus, and Torgal. More than a hundred other characters can be recruited, found through quests and at guilds. They have different status and skills. The main villain is the Conqueror, a man invading many cities in the world. He is assisted by Wilfred Hermeien, the leader of the city-state of Nagapur and the ruling council of all of the city-states, and Wagram, a powerful sorcerer. ### Story The game opens with Rush finding David\'s army fighting monsters; after he and his Remnant pendant help defeat the monsters, David and his generals decide to help him find Irina. While investigating a Remnant that is about to collapse, Rush and company come across Wagram and Irina, who escape. After chasing Wagram and Irina for several missions, the group attends the Congress meeting of the leaders of the city-states in Elysion, home to the Ark Remnant, which can transport users to the Sacred Lands. The Conqueror arrives at the Congress, binds the Ark, and demands to be given a massive Remnant of the type that each city-state has. His demands are rejected, and he declares war with the support of the \"God-Emperor\", a 1000-year-old legendary figure. David takes the lead in opposing the Conqueror in hopes of earning independence for Athlum, which is currently a vassal state to Celapaleis. They successfully defend Celapaleis, but the Conqueror himself attacks Athlum in their absence, killing Emma and somehow taking Athlum\'s bound Remnant. Rush and company return to Elysion to rescue Irina from Wagram. Irina is revealed to have a special power, that of unbinding bound Remnants, which is why she was kidnapped. They discover that Hermeien is trying to use the Conqueror and Wagram\'s war to prop himself up as supreme ruler. The party rescues Irina and kills Hermeien, but Wagram escapes. Irina uses Nagapur\'s Remnant to protect her brother from the Conqueror, destroying half of the city in the process. Four months later, Rush learns that the council city-states are now trying to find Remnants to fight the Conqueror, who is in turn binding the Remnants of the city-states using tablets based on Irina\'s power that can unbind Remnants. When the party travels to the God-Emperor\'s city, Undelwalt, they find Wagram, who tells them that the Conqueror is a Remnant himself. Wagram and the God-Emperor are supporting him in his quest to destroy civilization for misusing Remnants and destroying the balance of the world. The Conqueror attacks Elysion and ascends the Ark, binding it so that no one can follow him; the protagonists search and find a second Ark, the first duplicate Remnant ever found. The party chases the Conqueror through the Sacred Lands, which are revealed to be the birthplace of Remnants. He informs them that he is trying to release Remnants from being controlled, a task was originally supposed to be Rush\'s, as he is also a Remnant. He believes that their purpose is to take back the Remnants from the world that is misusing them for warfare and destruction. Rush defeats him and sacrifices himself to destroy the source of the Remnants. The game ends, as the Remnants all around the world disappear. After the credits, Rush is heard talking with the Conqueror about returning.

# The Last Remnant ## Development and release {#development_and_release} The game was created by developers who had previously worked on the *SaGa* and *Final Fantasy* game series. It was directed by Hiroshi Takai and produced by Nobuyuki Ueda. The game was written by Masato Yagi and Miwa Shoda, whose work was based on a scenario concept by Akitoshi Kawazu. Kimihiko Miyamae served as the chief artist, and Yusuke Naora served as both art producer and character designer. *The Last Remnant* marked the first Square Enix game to use Unreal Engine 3. Because they used a licensed engine rather than making their own, the production time needed to display graphical resources onscreen was cut significantly, allowing the team to begin illustrating and experimenting at an early stage. The decision to use a licensed engine, rather than develop their own as was traditional at Square Enix at the time, was made due to concerns in the company of the rising production costs of making a game, and the direct development time savings possible from using an existing engine. Square-Enix\'s chief technology officer, Julien Merceron, claimed in an interview from February 2010 that most of the completed game\'s perceived technical shortcomings were caused by a decision to use the Unreal Engine to not only cut development time but also to reduce the number of skilled programmers that would otherwise be on the project. The development team planned to distinguish the game from *Final Fantasy* and other role-playing games, through its focus on the battle system. The art direction of the game was focused on making all of the characters stand out on the battlefield, and in making the Remnants stand out in the world screens. The cities were designed to not look very fantastical, so as to make the Remnants more prominent, and were designed early on in the development process to give the impression that the people of the city were living both literally and figuratively under the power of giant Remnants. The game marked several firsts for Square Enix, as it was their first game to be released on the same day in both Japan and internationally, as well as the first to use motion capture of Western voice actors. This resulted in the characters\' lips speaking English synced to the spoken dialogue, rather than Japanese. The game was planned from the beginning of development to be released simultaneously worldwide and to be targeted to players worldwide, which impacted the character design and art direction. The design and dialogue were created to appeal to international and Japanese players, rather than being focused on the norms of the Japanese video game market alone. The game was revealed at a press conference at Shinjuku, Tokyo in May 2007. It was shown as a playable demo at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2008. It was then released on the Xbox 360 in November 2008, and released in late March 2009 for PC. The PC version of the game featured numerous improvements and changes from the original, including the integration of the downloadable content from the 360 version into the main game, enhanced graphical settings, a \"Turbo Mode\" increasing battle speed, and a New Game Plus option allowing the player to start a new game with the gold and unique items from their first play-through. A PlayStation 3 version was also announced, but never released. Square Enix has not released any official reason for the absence, though Takai said that he found developing for the 360 \"a lot easier\" than for the PlayStation 3. In December 2019, the game was released on iOS and Android. ### Music The game was composed by Tsuyoshi Sekito, with assistance from Yasuhiro Yamanaka, who composed 10 of the 97 total tracks and co-composed 2. Prior to the game, Sekito had spent the previous decade primarily arranging the work of other composers for remakes and re-releases of various Square Enix games such as the *Final Fantasy* series and the *Mana* series. The soundtrack features the heavy use of orchestral elements, arranged for orchestration by Natsumi Kameoka, and guitar playing by Sekito. The orchestrated pieces were played by musicians from several different orchestras, rather than by a single group. Unlike most role-playing games, the battle music was designed by Sekito to switch between three songs depending on how well the player was doing in the battle. A soundtrack album was released on December 10, 2008, through Sony Music Distribution. It contains 97 tracks across three discs, and has a total length of 3:10:21.

# The Last Remnant ## Reception Square Enix reported that the game had sold 580,000 copies across all versions on March 31, 2009, less than two weeks after the game was released on PC. By January 2016, the PC version of the game had over 800,000 copies linked to Steam accounts, according to Steam Spy. *The Last Remnant* received a largely mixed reception. It received a more positive reception in Japan than elsewhere, something which the developers credited to different styles of reviewing between cultures. They also felt that the Japanese reviewers scored the game too high. It received a 38/40 from *Famitsu* magazine; the review praised the battle system for its unique, massive-scale battles reminiscent of *Romancing SaGa* but refined to a wholly new class. They, however, criticized the learning curve as well, the length of battles, and the inability to choose specific skills for individual units. *Famitsu* later gave the game their 2008 \"Rookie Title Grand-Prize\" award. A common complaint from reviewers was about graphical issues. *IGN* stated in its review of the Xbox 360 version that the game suffered from extreme technical problems, while *GameTrailers* named the \"persistent graphical issues\" as one of the Xbox 360 version\'s weakest points. *GameSpot*, *IGN*, and *1UP.com* cited in their Xbox 360 version reviews severe frame-rate problems and \"texture pop-in\", where the textures were displayed as low resolution for several seconds before being replaced with higher-resolution ones, as some of its main failings. All three review sites, however, gave a higher score for the PC version, citing drastically improved graphical performance, but still with texture pop-in and slow loading times when moving between areas and when entering or exiting a battle as well as unskippable cut scenes. Other issues raised by reviewers included \"cluttered screens and annoying \'quests\'\" noted by *GamePro*, \"over the top\" and stereotypical characters opined by *Game Informer*, a poor and generic story according to *IGN* and *1UP*, and long loading screens and cutscenes which were criticisms brought by G4, *1UP*, and the Australian *Official Xbox Magazine*. Another common point of complaint among reviewers was the battle system, which was described as \"repetitive\" by *GamePro*, frustrating by *IGN* in their Xbox review, and \"boring\" and the worst part of the game by *1UP*. G4 also criticized the battle system, saying that the game played itself. This criticism was not universal, as *GameTrailers* cited its \"unique battle system\" as providing \"a lot to enjoy\", *IGN* called it \"the most interesting part of *The Last Remnant*\" in their PC review, and *GameSpot* called it \"intriguing\" and especially fun in the larger-scale battles. The game\'s visual style was praised across many reviews, such as those by *GameTrailers*, *1UP*, and *GamePro*, who described the style as \"an innovative \'East-meets-West\'\", while *GameSpot* called it a \"distinctive fantasy world\" that is \"beautifully constructed\". The music was also a source of praise, and was noted as such in the *IGN* reviews and the *GameSpot* reviews, which called it an \"excellent symphonic soundtrack\" with terrific melodies. *GameSpot*, in their review, also praised the game\'s story as \"epic\", in contrast to many of the other reviews, though they noted that Rush wasn\'t \"the most interesting leading man\" and preferred when the story focused on the Conqueror. ## Remaster A remastered version of the game, titled *The Last Remnant Remastered*, was released for PlayStation 4 in December 2018, and for Nintendo Switch in June 2019. The remaster features a game engine upgrade from Unreal Engine 3 to Unreal Engine 4, with improved graphics and features. Simultaneously with the release of the remaster the PC and Xbox 360 versions were delisted from Steam and other online retailers. As of 2025 the game is still unavailable for those platforms

# Corn relish **Corn relish** is a traditional Southern United States recipe for cooked whole corn kernels, spiced with red and green bell peppers, peppercorns, and equal parts sugar and cider vinegar. The mixture is placed in glass canning jars and steamed for about 45 minutes in a pressure cooker. During the winter months, canned corn relish is taken from the pantry and opened at the table, given as a garnish or side dish to the typically meat-and-potatoes dinner fare, which in the South, was usually ham and boiled potatoes. Today, corn relish is simply cooked on the stove, and placed in sterile covered containers and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Variations on the recipe include the addition of chopped tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, dill seed, or mustard seed

# List of tallest buildings in Quebec City This **list of tallest buildings in Quebec City** ranks high-rise buildings in the city by height. Quebec City is the capital and second largest city in Quebec, with a population of 531,902. The history of skyscrapers in Quebec City began with the completion of the 82 m tall Édifice Price in 1930. Most of the city\'s skyscrapers were built between the late 1960s and early 1980s, including the tallest building in the city, the 132 m tall Édifice Marie-Guyart, which was built in 1972. Château Frontenac was the tallest building in the province of Quebec from the completion of its tallest tower in 1924 to the completion of Montreal\'s Royal Bank Tower in 1928. In recent years, Quebec City has built a sizeable number of residential high-rises, though significantly less than other cities in Canada. As of June 2025, a 23-storey condo tower named "SWL" is under construction in the neighbourhood of Sainte-Foy. ## History Quebec City\'s first proper high-rise, the Price Building, was completed in the Old Quebec--Cap-Blanc--Parliament Hill district in 1930. For 40 years, it was then the city\'s only tall building besides the Château Frontenac. The city underwent densification in the 1970s outside the fortifications of Old Quebec. The redevelopment of Parliament Hill aimed to provide new office space for the Quebecois government. It was during this period that the Marie-Guyart Building, the city\'s current tallest building, was built at a height of 132 meters. The majority of new construction, including hotels and private commercial spaces, was built on René-Lévesque Boulevard and Honoré-Mercier Avenue. Buildings from this wave of construction can also be found on Sainte-Foy Road further west. However, ten years later during the 1980s, the rate of construction of new high-rises reduced and has never fully recovered. Starting from the 1990s, the neighboring Saint-Roch neighborhood also experienced some high-rise construction; a twenty-story residential tower, Tour Fresk, was built there in 2016. Another area with tall buildings is the coommercial district of Sainte-Foy. Located at the southwest entrance to the city, at the intersection of the Henri-IV, Duplessis and Robert-Bourassa highways, this is the main commercial area of the Sainte-Foy--Sillery--Cap-Rouge borough. The tall buildings in this area are located along Laurier Boulevard and Route de l\'Église. Before 1960, the area was primarily agricultural. High-rise development began with the construction of government buildings in the 1980s.

# List of tallest buildings in Quebec City ## Other important buildings {#other_important_buildings} ### Quebec Parliament Building {#quebec_parliament_building} The **Parliament Building** (French: *Hôtel du Parlement*) is an eight-floor building and home to the Parliament of Quebec (composed of the Lieutenant-Governor and the National Assembly) in Quebec City. The building was designed by architect Eugène-Étienne Taché and was built from 1877 to 1886. With the frontal tower, the building stands at 52 metres or 171 feet in height. It features the Second Empire architectural style that was popular for prestigious buildings both in Europe (especially France where the style originated) and the United States during the latter 19th century. Although somewhat more sober in appearance and lacking a towering central belfry, Quebec City\'s Parliament Building bears a definite likeness to the Philadelphia City Hall, another Second Empire edifice in North America which was built during the same period. Even though the building\'s symmetrical layout with a frontal clock tower in the middle is typical of legislative institutions of British heritage, the architectural style is believed to be unique among parliament buildings found in other Canadian provincial capitals. Its facade presents a pantheon representing significant events and people of the history of Quebec. ### Palace Station {#palace_station} **Gare du Palais** ('Palace Station') is a train and bus station in Quebec City. Its name comes from its proximity to the Palace of the Intendant of New France. It is served by Via Rail, Canada's national passenger railway, and by the private coach company Orléans Express. Built in 1915 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, the two-storey châteauesque station is similar in design to the Château Frontenac. The station had no passenger rail service from 1976 to 1985, although it once again hosts regular daily services west to Montreal\'s Central Station via Drummondville. It was designated a Heritage Railway Station in 1992. ## Timeline of tallest buildings {#timeline_of_tallest_buildings} +---------------+-----------------------+--------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Period | Building | Height | Floors | Image | +===============+=======================+========+===============+===========================================================+ | 1886-1924 | Parliament Building\ | | 4 {{cite web | url = <http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=5321> | | | Government | | | | +---------------+-----------------------+--------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | 1924-1930 | Château Frontenac\ | | 18 {{cite web | url = <http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=2976> | | | Hotel | | | | +---------------+-----------------------+--------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | 1930-1972 | Édifice Price\ | | 18 {{cite web | url = <http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=2890> | | | Mixed use | | | | +---------------+-----------------------+--------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | 1972--Present | Édifice Marie-Guyart\ | | 33{{cite web | url = <http://skyscraperpage

# Doctor of Management The **Doctor of Management** (**DM** or **DMgt**) is an applied research doctorate (or professional practice doctorate) with a degree focus in management, leadership, and organizational topics.\" The intention of the DM is to advance the skills of professionals in research, analysis, theory, and practice in organizations. The DM combines theory and applied research to understand practical outcomes and implications of research in several different business environments. Furthermore, a DM degree may enable holders to become faculty members at academic institutions. The degree was first offered at Case Western Reserve University in 1995. ## Program objectives {#program_objectives} The primary aim of the Doctor of Management is to learn and understand managerial dilemmas and how to plan and implement changes and improvements in organizations as a leader, practitioner, and scholar within the respective business environment. This advanced knowledge entails practical leadership training and in-depth research in management topics with a focus on enhancing organizational effectiveness. Sometimes, the DM has an interdisciplinary style approach to management combining subjects in management, leadership, and business. In addition to learning a combination of advanced subjects, professionals pursuing a DM will learn how to conduct independent original research, analyze data, and critically evaluate theories. This body of knowledge helps the DM advance their careers in professional management, leadership, or education. ## Curriculum and admission requirements {#curriculum_and_admission_requirements} Most Doctor of Management programs require a master\'s degree in a related field for admission. Applicants may also need acceptable graduate admission scores (e.g. GMAT or GRE), personal essays, and letters of recommendation. The curriculum for the Doctor of Management includes a variety of teaching and learning methods for personal and professional development including lectures, presentations, independent study, doctoral supervision, cohort format, workshops, seminars, residencies, and information technologies. The curriculum includes both coursework and research. Content courses normally include management, leadership, global business, organizational design, organizational behavior, psychology, sustainability, ethics, human resource management, communications, and employee development. DM programs require a dissertation or a research project. Depending on the institution, the length of time to complete the DM program can be 3 to 5 years full-time. The overall intention of DM coursework is to create and understand the connection between theoretical and practical knowledge through cognitive, professional, and peer learning.

# Arsenije Sremac **Arsenije Sremac** (*Арсеније Сремац*, *Arsenius the Syrmian*; `{{floruit}}`{=mediawiki} 1219 -- 1266) was the second Archbishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church (1233--1263) and a disciple of Saint Sava of Serbia. ## Early life {#early_life} Arsenije was born in the village of Dabar, near Slankamen (today Stari Slankamen), at the time part of the Kingdom of Syrmia (modern Srem, Serbia). The exact date of his birth is unknown. He took monastic vows, probably in St. Demetrius Monastery in today\'s Sremska Mitrovica. When he heard of St. Sava\'s work, he was impressed and left for the monastery of Žiča. He soon became St. Sava\'s disciple and his synkellos. He was appointed as the ecclesiarch of the monastery and later Archimandrite of Žiča, because of his religious life. When Serbia was invaded by Hungary, St. Sava sent St. Arsenius to find a safer place in the south to establish a new episcopal see. Arsenius chose Peć, where he built a monastery and a church which was at first dedicated to the Holy Apostles, and then to the Lord\'s Ascension. ## Archbishop When St. Sava decided to abdicate, he decided that Arsenije would succeed him. Arsenije was consecrated bishop. He was able to continue in the work of his predecessor. He built Monastery of Peć and participated in the translation of St. Sava\'s relics from Trnovo to the monastery of Mileševa. St. Arsenije crowned King Stefan Uroš I. He helped King Stefan Uroš I and Queen Helen in building the monasteries Sopoćani and Gradac. He suffered a stroke in 1263, after which he was succeeded by Saint Sava II, nephew of Saint Sava. St. Arsenije died on October 28, 1266. His relics were buried at the Pech monastery but now rest in the Ždrebaonik monastery in Montenegro. His feast day is celebrated according to the Orthodox liturgical calendar on October 28 (Julian Calendar, i.e. November 10 of the Gregorian Calendar)

# Pedro Altamiranda **Pedro Altamiranda Félez** (30 November 1935 -- 7 March 2024) was a Panamanian singer and composer known for his Carnival songs. Altamiranda sang about the culture and politics of Panama using humorous Panamanian slang. This attracted the attention of crowds, not only of adults but also young people who identified with his songs. Gilberto Santa Rosa, in his song \"*Navidad En Panamá*\", mentions Altamiranda as part of Panamanian culture. Altamiranda started writing songs in 1979. Many of his political songs have been controversial, some of them censored by different governments including the Manuel Noriega dictatorship. In 1984 the song \"*Lecciones*\" was censored because it was about the electoral fraud that year. With his burlesque songs, he attacked the oppression of Panamanians. In February 2004, one week before Carnival, Altamiranda released the controversial \"*La Doña*\", a satire of Mireya Moscoso. Most of his songs were influenced by Calypso music, salsa, and the Carnival Brass and Drum bands of Las Tablas, also known as Murgas. Altamiranda also composed a song about the former President of Panama, Martín Torrijos, named \"*Catín le dijo a Martín*\" (Catin told Martin), which talked about how the President and the Finance Minister supposedly planned the new controversial tax law. Some phrases in Pedro\'s songs, have become part of the Panamanian culture, among them: - \"\...Para las Tablas to Rass\" - \"\...Nos Vemos en las Cómicas\" - \"\...Juega Vivo!\" - \"\...Guaro y Campana\" ## Death Altamiranda died on 7 March 2024, at the age of 88

# Glen Head station **Glen Head** is a station on the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located at Glen Head Road (Glenwood Road) and School Street in Glen Head, in Nassau County, New York, United States. Parking is available at the **Glen Head station** between Glen Head Road and Locust Avenue on the east side of the tracks -- as well as between Glen Head Road and Walnut Avenue on the west side of the tracks. ## History The Glen Head station opened on January 23, 1865, initially serving as the northern terminus of the Glen Cove Branch Rail Road. Glen Head served as the terminus of the line until 1867, when it was extended further north. Its initial status as the branch\'s terminus -- the \"head of the rails\" -- gave the hamlet of Glen Head its current name. In July 1866, the Post Office changed the old name of the community from Cedar Swamp to Greenvale, but in February 1874 made another change, renaming the hamlet as Glenwood. The Long Island Rail Road has always used the name Glen Head, and the name prevailed. A new station building was opened at Glen Head in May 1888. It was a two-story red brick structure and contained elaborate gingerbread woodwork along the canopies, and was similar in design to the station building at Glen Cove. It was rebuilt again midway through 1961, at which time the 1888-built station building was demolished and replaced with the current one-story cedar-shingled depot. ## Station layout {#station_layout} The station has two high-level side platforms, each four cars long. --------------------------------------------------------- Platform A, side platform `{{access icon}}`{=mediawiki} Track **1** Track **2** Platform B, side platform `{{access icon}}`{=mediawiki} --------------------------------------------------------- ### Parking There are three parking fields at the Glen Head station: two on the east side and one on the west side. Both lots on the east side of the station require Town of Oyster Bay parking permits, while the lot on the west side of the station is free and unrestricted.

# Ontario Highway 102 **King\'s Highway 102**, commonly referred to as **Highway 102**, formerly as Highway 11A and Highway 17A and historically as the **Dawson Road**, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario, serving as a northern bypass to the city of Thunder Bay for all vehicle traffic. Both the western and eastern termini of Highway 102 are with the concurrency of Highway 11 and Highway 17; in the rural community of Sistonens Corners to the west and in Thunder Bay to the east. The majority of Highway 102 is surrounded by thick forests and swamps. However, owing to its historic nature, it is lined with residences outside of urban Thunder Bay. Although the road Highway 102 now follows dates to the 1850s, it did not become a provincial highway until 1937, when it was designated as Highway 17A. Between 1960 and 1971, following the extension of Highway 11 to Rainy River, it was also designated as Highway 11A. By 1972, the route had been renumbered as Highway 102. ## Route description {#route_description} Highway 102 passes through terrain typical of northern Ontario highways, including thick boreal forest and muskeg. On a 32.8 km eastward journey, the surroundings quickly change from isolated muskeg-ridden foothills to urban development as the highway enters Thunder Bay from the north. Highway 102 provides a shortcut over the Trans-Canada Highway to the south. Highway 102 begins at Sistonens Corners, immediately south of a Canadian National Railway (CN) overpass, along Highway 11 and Highway 17. A truck stop sits to the west of the intersection. From there, the two-lane road travels east through rolling hills, with muskeg dotting the valleys between the hills. It parallels roughly 1 km to the south of the Shebandowan River for 4.5 km before crossing both the CN and Canadian Pacific Railway tracks as well as the Kaministiquia River. The highway meets Silver Falls Road, which proceeds north to Silver Falls Provincial Park. The terrain becomes gentler as the route passes several houses while travelling alongside a creek. The highway curves as it meets a power transmission line, which it then parallels. It zig-zags southeast, passing alongside Mud Lake and briefly curving back to the east. Curving back to the southeast, the highway serves several houses before crossing into Thunder Bay at Townline Road and curving to the east. Within the city limits, the density of residences surrounding the highway rapidly increases as the terrain flattens. The highway intersects Mapleward Road, then diverges from the power transmission lines and curves southeast into suburban Thunder Bay. It meets Secondary Highway 589 after passing the Emerald Greens Golf Course. The route then travels through North McIntyre, formerly a separate community which was annexed. It descends through a wide muskeg, after which it is crossed by several power transmission lines. The highway enters urban Thunder Bay immediately thereafter, where it passes to the west of County Fair Mall before ending at an intersection with the Thunder Bay Expressway. The road which carries Highway 102 continues through Thunder Bay as Red River Road, and was once part of the highway.

# Ontario Highway 102 ## History Highway 102 was designated by the beginning of 1972, following the route of the former Highway 11A and Highway 17A. Prior to that, the Dawson Road generally followed the present route of the highway. The history of the Dawson Road began in 1857 when Henry Hind and Simon Dawson were commissioned to survey the territorial claims of the Hudson\'s Bay Company, as well as to survey a route between Lake Superior and the Red River. A second set of surveys were carried out by Captain John Palliser that same year. The latter recommended avoiding the Kaministiquia River, but ultimately Hind and Dawson\'s route was chosen. By 1868, the route was blazed between Shebandowan and what would soon be named *Prince Arthur\'s Landing* (later changed to Port Arthur). In 1870, the Wolseley Expedition set out from Toronto to end the Red River Rebellion. When Colonel Garnet Wolseley arrived at the present site of Winnipeg, the rebels had fled. However, the expedition resulted in the construction of a road along Dawson\'s route. It was further improved in 1871. In 1935, the Department of Northern Development (DND) began construction on a northern bypass of Port Arthur, mostly following the Dawson Road. This road was designated Highway 17A on April 1, 1937, when the DND merged into the Department of Highways. In 1959, Highway 120 was renumbered as Highway 11, and a 180 km concurrency with Highway 17 between Shabaqua Corners and Nipigon was created to join the discontinuous segments. As the northern bypass of Port Arthur now formed an alternate route to both Highway 11 and 17, it was codesignated as Highway 11A and 17A. Between January 1971 and 1972, Highway 11A and Highway 17A were redesignated as Highway 102. Work began shortly thereafter to realign several sections of the highway with dangerous curves and steep grades approaching the Kaministiquia River; the highway opened in 1975, featuring a new bridge over the river

# William Himrod **William Himrod** was born on 19 May 1791 in Turbot Township, Pennsylvania and died 21 June 1873 in Erie, Pennsylvania. Himrod was a pioneer of the iron industry in Erie. He is interred at Erie Cemetery. Himrod was a partner in the firm of Johnson, Himrod and Company, an Erie ironworks that developed in the wake of the Panic of 1837. The company was renamed Vincent, Himrod, and Company in 1841 when he joined B. B. Vincent in business in 1841. They operated the first blast furnace in Erie County at the company\'s Twelfth Street and French Street facility beginning in 1843. The ironworks employed dozens if not hundreds of local workers, while its use of locally obtained iron ore employed yet others in the greater metro Erie area. The company was renamed several times, including the Erie City Iron Works. In 1876 it became the joint stock company Chicago and Erie Stove Company, Ltd, which was also known as the Chicago and Erie Stove Works. Himrod resided at the corner of Second Street and French Street for nearly fifty years. On 22 December 1839, he founded a Sunday School for African Americans and the destitute. He operated the school, which came to be known as the Himrod Mission, for nearly twenty years despite how it directly conflicted with the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. Himrod was also involved in the Underground Railroad. The school was still in operation under his name in the mid-1880s

# Thomas Johnson Westropp **Thomas Johnson Westropp** (16 August 1860`{{snd}}`{=mediawiki}9 April 1922) was an Irish antiquarian, folklorist and archaeologist. ## Career Westropp was born on 16 August 1860 at Attyflin Park, Patrickswell, County Limerick. His relatives were landowners of English origin and had lived there since the mid 16th century. He displayed an early interest in antiquities, making notes on topography, ancient buildings and folk life whenever his family would make trips into the neighbouring counties. He attended Trinity College Dublin and graduated in 1882 with an MA. A degree in civil engineering followed in 1885, at which time he was apprenticed to Bindon Blood Stoney, who was engaged in a project to widen and dredge the entrance to the Port of Dublin. After he finished his training, Westropp became the assistant surveyor for County Meath, but soon abandoned his professional work to pursue his archaeological interests. He spent the remainder of his life researching antiquities along the western seaboard. He drew many detailed sketches of buildings, grave slabs and other archaeological remains throughout Ireland. Many of these sketches are held by the Royal Irish Academy. His publications are widely available in libraries throughout the west of Ireland. ## County Clare {#county_clare} ### Folklore While surveying the field monuments of County Clare, he became fascinated by the variety and descriptiveness of the folk tales he heard being recited by the locals. Over the course of several years, he gathered these tales, beliefs and customs and published them in a series of articles which appeared in \"Folk-Lore: Transactions of the Folk-Lore Society\" between 1910 and 1913. In 2006 these folk-tales were published on the internet by the County Clare Library. Many of these tales have since been lost to living memory. His writings later provided the foundation for the work of the Irish Folklore Commission. ### The Normans and prehistoric sites {#the_normans_and_prehistoric_sites} Westropp also undertook research into the early history of Clare and Limerick (which the Normans called Thomond) and published his finding in three historical essays covering the years 1275--1287, 1287--1313 and 1313--1318, respectively. He then focused on the palaces of early Killaloe, other prehistoric stone-forts and the \'peel towers\'or tower houses, eventually publishing several articles about his findings. ## Publications ### County Clare {#county_clare_1} - - Prehistory - - - - reprinted as `{{citation| title =Archaeology of the Burren: Prehistoric Forts and Dolmens in North Clare by T.J.

# October Fall **October Fall** was an American pop punk band from Chicago, Illinois. They formed in the summer of 2003, with Pat D\'Andrea (vocals/guitar) and Clark Harrison (guitar) as the original members. These two originally played together under the name \"Silver Lining\". Soon after, the rest of the band was added: Nick Coleman (drums), Owen Toomey (piano), and Jack Marin (bass). Nick Coleman was replaced by Nick Scalise (drums), and Jack Marin was replaced by Greg Shanahan (bass). In 2005, the band opened on a tour with Ashlee Simpson, and later that year, they toured with The Click Five. In the spring of 2006, they toured with Fall Out Boy and The All-American Rejects on the *Black Clouds and Underdogs* tour. They were signed to Decaydance, a Fueled By Ramen imprint headed by Pete Wentz (bassist of Fall Out Boy). Their debut CD, *A Season in Hell* (named as an homage to the movie *Eddie and the Cruisers*), was released in February 2006. On October 1, 2007, the band announced to fans on Live Journal that they had gone their separate ways, promoting their new music on separate MySpace pages. In the fall of 2007, Clark Harrison and Nick Foxer (formerly of the All American Rejects) formed a band called Phonocast, based in southern California. Pat D\'Andrea (now going by Johnny D\'Andrea) formed Archie Star, with his sister Maria sharing lead vocals. The band released their only album, *Carry Me Home* in November 2008. Nick Scalise and Greg Shanahan are now part of the band Bestfriends. ## History ### Early years {#early_years} Their roots may be in the Chicago scene, but pop is their passion for the members in October Fall: vocalist/guitarist Pat D\'Andrea, guitarist Clark Harrison, pianist Owen Toomey, bassist Greg Shanahan, and drummer Nick Scalise. D\'Andrea\'s early influences were Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He would sit in his bedroom playing guitar outlet and accidentally writing songs while attending one of his sister\'s musicals. D\'Andrea met a fellow musician, Clark Harrison, and the two began jamming together as \"Silver Lining\". With high ambitions and a budding arsenal of songs, the duo changed its name to \"October Fall\" and solidified a line-up with Toomey, Scalise and Shanahan. After selling out shows to just open the band, the whole town took notice. It was one of the scene\'s most beloved alumni, Fall Out Boy\'s Pete Wentz, who wrote the band to his Fueled By Ramen imprint Decaydance. From there, the band prepared to record their debut album and soon hit the road with Ashlee Simpson. The inspiration for the title of October Fall\'s debut, *A Season in Hell* comes from a cult classic movie, *Eddie and the Cruisers*, which actually premiered in theaters before any of the band members (all of which were still in their teens) were even born. ### *A Season in Hell* (2006) {#a_season_in_hell_2006} In the summer of 2005, they migrated westward to record at The Green Room in Los Angeles, California, with producer Mike Green (Yellowcard Rufio Paramore). In September and October 2005, they went on a two-month US cross-country tour with Just Surrender, My American Heart, and Lorene Drive. In May 2006, they appeared at The Bamboozle festival. The song \"Walking\" set October Fall\'s sound movement is a piano-driven rocker, thinking about a girl, who cannot look himself in the mirror, not satisfied with simply writing about Heartaches and Heart-Breaker \"Hey Hey\" deals with the harsh tale of a turbulent friendship. *A Season in Hell* also features guest appearances by Fall Out Boy\'s Patrick Stump (song \"Second Chance\") and Paramore\'s Hayley Williams (on \"Keep Dreaming Upside Down\"). ### Post-breakup (2007) {#post_breakup_2007} On October 1, 2007, the band announced that they had gone their separate ways. In the fall of 2007, Clark Harrison and Nick Foxer (formerly of the All American Rejects) formed a band called Phonocast, based in southern California where both musicians now live. Pat D\'Andrea formed Archie Star, in which he shares lead vocals with his sister, Maria. The band released their album, *Carry Me Home* in November 2008. ## Band members {#band_members} Later members - Pat D\'Andrea - lead vocals, Guitar (2003--2007) - Clark Harrison- lead guitar, backing vocals (2003--2007) - Nick Scalise - Drums, percussion (2005--2007) - Owen Toomey aka O-Boats - piano, backing vocals (2004--2007) - Greg Shanahan - bass, backing vocals (2005--2007) Early members - Nick Coleman - Drums, percussion (2004--2005) - Jack Marin - bass, backing vocals (2004--2005)

# Hindenburg: The Untold Story ***Hindenburg: The Untold Story*** known in Germany as ***Das Geheimnis der Hindenburg*** (\"The Secret of the Hindenburg\") and ***Die Hindenburg: die ungeklärte Katastrophe***, is a two-hour docudrama about the disaster of the *Hindenburg*, and the investigation that followed. It aired on May 6, 2007, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the disaster. It was commissioned by Channel 4, ZDF, and the Smithsonian Networks to be produced by Pioneer Productions and has also aired on Discovery Channel Canada. Its original working title was ***Hindenburg*** and is also known as ***Hindenburg: Titanic of the skies*** (which should not be confused with *Titanic of the Sky*, a different documentary by Vidicom). The British version is narrated by Malcolm Tierney who plays the role of Hugo Eckener, while John Shrapnel narrates an alternative version which features interviews with survivors. It provides a reenactment of the *Hindenburg* disaster using a detailed computer-animated model. The animation was done by Red Vision, which also did the animation for two previous documentaries on the *Hindenburg* disaster: *Hindenburg Disaster: Probable Cause* and an episode of *Seconds From Disaster*. The film mainly focuses on the official investigation of the disaster. The live actions scenes were shot in Poland and later edited by Red Vision. ## Story The film primarily focuses on the *Hindenburg*{{\'}}s demise and the official inquiry that followed. ## Cast - Narrator\*: John Shrapnel (UK dub), Bill Roberts (US version) - Dr. Hugo Eckener: Malcolm Tierney - Commander Rosendahl: Mark McGann - Jean Rosendahl: Lorelei King - Max Pruss: Albert Welling - Herbert Morrison: Gerard Monaco - Joseph Späh: Simon Lowe - Nelson Morris: Michael Praed - Chief Steward Heinrich Kubis: Thorston Manderlay - Werner Franz: Kamil Krawczykowski - Helmut Lau: Piotr Grabowski - Rudolph Sauter: John Edmondson - Colonel South Trimble (Jr.): Phil Goss ## Filmmakers - Director Sean Grundy - Producer Vicky Matthews - Editor Martin Swann - Composer Andrew Hewitt - Cinematographer David Langan ## Historical errors {#historical_errors} - Often there are fake newsreels showing the disaster, though the footage is real. These are obviously simulated recreations, as the narrator for all newsreels are shown as the same for all three newsreel companies, even though it does use the opening part of an actual newsreel of the disaster (Universal Newsreel, Movietone News Special). Also the footage does not match the authentic newsreel, as the \"Universal\" one uses footage originally from the Pathé coverage of the disaster. - The *Hindenburg* appears to have crashed on solid concrete and grass. In reality the landing field was wet and sandy. - The newsreel cameramen do not stand on van roofs to film the disaster. Two cameramen had their cameras positioned on van roofs. - Heinrich Kubis, the chief steward, is portrayed as suspicious of passenger Joseph Spah but also sympathetic of him saying \"he was okay\" and that he was only \"feeding his dog.\" In reality, Kubis believed that Spah was saboteur of the airship. - The flag draped behind the commission and the flags waved by spectators have 50 stars, but the American flag at the time of the disaster would have only had 48. - There is no evidence that Eckener was offered helium in 1929, as the documentary implies. The *Hindenburg* was designed to use hydrogen cells enclosed within a helium envelope, but the US Helium Control Act prohibited export of helium to other countries

# Hey, Shipwreck ***Hey, Shipwreck*** is a series of Machinima spoofing the Silent Service, that is serving aboard a United States Navy submarine. The animations are rendered using the Blender game engine, and can be watched in-browser in YouTube format, or downloaded in a variety of other formats. The title comes from the common Navy phrase: \"Hey, Shipmate!\" referring to a fellow sailor. Substituting \"Shipwreck\" makes it an insult. Similar to saying \"Hey Dirtbag.\" ## Description The cartoons are set in the future in a fictional space navy, with the spaceships looking vaguely like submarines. The heroes, Thresher and Seawolf, are seen on the spaceship standing watch. Because of the boredom of standing watch, they spend their time complaining about such staples of navy life as ratings mergers (that is combining two dissimilar job specialties into a single job community). The cartoons imagine the natural successor to the Navy\'s current smoking cessation program by implementing a \"swearing cessation program\", with sailors\' speech regulated by a computer. The heroes amuse themselves by creating ways to defeat the profanity filter. The heroes also combat such routine tasks as training new sailors (this is a spoof on how notoriously strict the training for new sailors is on submarines). In an interview with Navy Times, the author of the cartoons, former ET1 Patrick Hrabe, admits the limited scope of his audience by saying: \"the average viewers will not understand what\'s being talked about at all\...\[S\]ubmariners and Navy guys who watch it get this thing.\" Patrick Hrabe says former Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Terry D. Scott wrote him and said he was \"still laughing\" after viewing the cartoons

# A Season in Hell ***A Season in Hell*** (*Une saison en enfer*) is an extended poem in prose written and published in 1873 by French writer Arthur Rimbaud. It is the only work that was published by Rimbaud himself. The book had a considerable influence on later artists and poets, including the Surrealists. ## Writing and publication history {#writing_and_publication_history} Rimbaud began writing the poem in April 1873 during a visit to his family\'s farm in Roche, near Charleville on the French-Belgian border. According to Bertrand Mathieu, Rimbaud wrote the work in a dilapidated barn. In the following weeks, Rimbaud traveled with poet Paul Verlaine through Belgium and to London again. They had begun a complicated relationship in spring 1872, and they quarreled frequently. Verlaine had bouts of suicidal behavior and drunkenness. When Rimbaud announced he planned to leave while they were staying in Brussels in July 1873, Verlaine fired two shots from his revolver, wounding Rimbaud once. After subsequent threats of violence, Verlaine was arrested and incarcerated to two years hard labour. After their parting, Rimbaud returned home to complete the work and published *A Season in Hell*. However, when his reputation was marred because of his actions with Verlaine, he received negative reviews and was snubbed by Parisian art and literary circles. In anger, Rimbaud burned his manuscripts and likely never wrote poetry again.`{{Dubious|date=August 2020|reason=At least parts of ''Illuminations'' were written after ''Une saison en enfer'' was completed, and Rimbaud gave the manuscript to Verlaine in 1975, asking him to have it published (although he lost interest about that matter soon afterward).}}`{=mediawiki} Rimbaud\'s first stay in London in September 1872 converted him from an imbiber of absinthe to a smoker of opium, and drinker of gin and beer. According to biographer Graham Robb, this began \"as an attempt to explain why some of his \[Rimbaud\'s\] poems are so hard to understand, especially when sober\". The poem was by Rimbaud himself dated April through August 1873, but these are dates of completion. He finished the work in a farmhouse in Roche, Ardennes.

# A Season in Hell ## Format The prose poem is loosely divided into nine parts, of varying length. They differ markedly in tone and narrative comprehensibility. However, it is a well and deliberately edited and revised text. This becomes clear if one compares the final version with the earlier versions. - **Introduction** (sometimes titled with its first line, \"Once, if my memory serves me well\...\") (*Jadis, si je me souviens bien\...*) -- outlines the narrator\'s damnation and introduces the story as \"pages from the diary of a Damned soul\". - **Bad Blood (*Mauvais sang*)** -- describes the narrator\'s Gaulish ancestry and its supposed effect on his morality and happiness. - **Night of hell (*Nuit de l\'enfer*)** -- highlights the moment of the narrator\'s death and entry into hell. - **Delirium I: The Foolish Virgin -- The Infernal Spouse (*Délires I : Vierge folle -- L\'Époux infernal*)** -- the most linear in its narrative, this section consists of the story of a woman (Verlaine), enslaved to her \"infernal bridegroom\" (Rimbaud) who deceived her and lured her love with false promises. It is likely a transparent allegory for his relationship with Verlaine. - **Delirium II: Alchemy of Words (*Délires II : Alchimie du verbe*)** -- the narrator then steps in and explains his own false hopes and broken dreams. This section is divided more clearly and contains many sections in verse (most of which are individual poems from the ensemble later called \"*Derniers vers*\" or \"*Vers nouveaux et chansons*\", albeit with significant variations). Here Rimbaud continues to develop his theory of poetry that began with his \"*Lettres du Voyant*\" (\"Letters of the Seer\"), but ultimately considers the whole endeavour as a failure. - **The Impossible (*L\'impossible*)** -- this section is vague, but one critical response`{{Who|date=August 2020}}`{=mediawiki} sees it as the description of an attempt on the part of the speaker to escape from hell. - **Lightning (*L\'éclair*)** -- one critic`{{who|date=November 2013}}`{=mediawiki} states that this short section is unclear, although its tone is resigned and fatalistic, indicating a surrender on the part of the narrator. - **Morning (*Matin*)** -- this short section serves as a conclusion, where the narrator claims to have \"finished my account of my hell,\" and \"can no longer even talk\". - **Farewell (*Adieu*)** -- this section alludes to a change of seasons, from Autumn to Spring. The narrator seems to have become more confident and stronger through his journey through hell, claiming he is \"now able to possess the truth within one body and one soul\".

# A Season in Hell ## Interpretation Bernard Mathieu describes *A Season in Hell* as \"a terribly enigmatic poem\", and a \"brilliantly near-hysterical quarrel between the poet and his \'other\'.\" He identifies two voices at work in the surreal narrative: \"the two separate parts of Rimbaud\'s schizoid personality---the \'I\' who is a seer/poet and the \'I\' who is the incredibly hard-nosed widow Rimbaud\'s peasant son. One voice is wildly in love with the miracle of light and childhood, the other finds all these literary shenanigans rather damnable and \'idiotic\'.\" For Wallace Fowlie writing in the introduction to his 1966 University of Chicago (pub) translation, \"the ultimate lesson\" of this \"complex\"(p4) and \"troublesome\"(p5) text states that \"poetry is one way by which life may be changed and renewed. Poetry is one possible stage in a life process. Within the limits of man\'s fate, the poet\'s language is able to express his existence although it is not able to create it.\"(p5) According to Mathieu: \"The trouble with *A Season in Hell* is that it points only one way: where it\'s going is where it\'s coming from. Its greatest source of frustration, like that of every important poem, is the realization that it\'s impossible for any of us to escape the set limits imposed on us by \'reality\'.\" Wallace in 1966, p5 of above-quoted work, \"\...(a season in Hell) testif(ies) to a modern revolt, and the kind of liberation which follows revolt\". Academic critics`{{who|date=November 2013}}`{=mediawiki} have arrived at many varied and often entirely incompatible conclusions as to what meaning and philosophy may or may not be contained in the text. Among them, Henry Miller was important in introducing Rimbaud to the United States in the 1960s. He published an English translation of the book and wrote an extended essay on Rimbaud and *A Season in Hell* titled *The Time of the Assassins*. It was published by James Laughlin\'s New Directions, the first American publisher of Rimbaud\'s *Illuminations*. ## Translations During one of her lengthy hospitalizations in Switzerland, Zelda Fitzgerald translated *Une Saison en Enfer.* Earlier Zelda had learned French on her own, by buying a French dictionary and painstakingly reading Raymond Radiguet\'s *Le bal du Comte d\'Orgel*.`{{qn|date=November 2013}}`{=mediawiki} Wallace Fowlie translated the poem for his *Rimbaud: Complete Works, Selected Letters* in 1966
