The War of the Worlds, titled on screen as Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds and on the cover as Jeff Wayne's Video Game Version of The War of the Worlds is a ZX Spectrum video game developed and released by CRL Group in 1984. The game is based upon the 1978 concept album, itself based on H.G. Wells' book The War of the Worlds. Gameplay required the player to visit a series of sites in and around London, by moving a person using cursor keys or a joystick, and occasionally making choices such as whether to hide, run or stand still. The game was something of a failure, being unpopular with reviewers because it ran very slowly. The player was often killed (hunger and thirst being common causes of death) and forced to begin the adventure from scratch. Original 2-page magazine advertisements stated 'available for ZX Spectrum' but also had a list of other formats the game was 'to be created for' including the Commodore 64, Oric Atmos, BBC Micro and Acorn Electron but no other versions were completed.

Evil Hoodoo is a compilation album by the American garage rock band the Seeds, and was released by Bam-Caruso Records, in 1988. Somewhat relatable to a greatest hits album, Evil Hoodoo did not issue any unreleased tracks by the group; however, it did introduce listeners to the Seeds' music as underground psychedelic rock and garage rock musical genres were being rediscovered. The album focuses on the Seeds' garage rock and proto-punk releases, completely bypassing their flirtation with the blues on the group's fourth studio album A Full Spoon of Seedy Blues. Nationally charting hits featured on Evil Hoodoo includes \"Pushin' Too Hard\" (number 36), \"Can't Seem to Make You Mine\" (number 41), and \"Mr. Farmer\" (number 86). Perhaps the rarest recordings on the album are \"Fallin' Off the Edge (Of My Mind)\" and \"Chocolate River\", both of which received their first LP release on the 1977 compilation Fallin' Off the Edge. \"Fallin' Off the Edge (Of My Mind)\" is a 1969 single release, and \"Chocolate River\" was recorded during the A Web of Sound sessions, but never appeared on the album. Released in 1988, Evil Hoodoo helped revitalize the Seeds' music, as young collectors began discovering once-obscured psychedelic and garage rock musical artists from the 1960s. The vinyl version of the album utilized an image of the band which was used once before on the compilation New Fruit from Old Seeds: The Rare Sky Saxon, Volume One. A release on the compact disc format featured a common publicity photo of the Seeds posing in a greenhouse in 1967. In addition, releases with pictured-discs were issued in a limited 1,000-copy run. Despite the fact that Evil Hoodoo remains the only legitimate attempt at a Seeds greatest hits collection, it has remained out-of-print since 1995.

The Jupiter and Trojan Asteroid Explorer is a cancelled Japanese JAXA mission that was proposed to have flown with the also cancelled Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter (JMO). Originally, it was intended as part of the Europa Jupiter System Mission - Laplace. The craft was initially planned to use a solar sail and release the JMO orbiter in 2025 upon arriving in the Jovian system. In November 2013, Japan's JAXA scientists stated that ″it turned out that a relatively low-cost solar power sail could not transport a magnetosphere orbiterwith enough science payload in mass and size. Orbits around Jupiter would be restricted.″

The Alberta general election of 1959 was the fourteenth general election for the Province of Alberta, Canada. It was held on June 18, 1959 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. Ernest C. Manning, in his fifth election as party leader and provincial premier, led the Social Credit Party to its seventh consecutive term in government, with 55% of the popular vote, and all but four of the sixty five seats in the legislature. Social Credit was also helped by a split in the opposition vote: whereas in the 1955 election, opponents were largely united behind the Liberal Party, in this election the vote was divided between the Liberals and the resurgent Progressive Conservative Party under the leadership of Cam Kirby, won almost 15% of the popular vote, placing ahead of the Liberals whose leader, Grant MacEwan lost his Calgary seat. The Tories and Liberals each won only one seat in the legislature while the Alberta CCF was shut out of the legislature for the first time in seventeen years. The Social Credit government did away with the Instant-runoff voting system, that had been in place in the rural constituencies, and the Single Transferable Vote system in Edmonton and Calgary, both of which had been in place since 1924. The move was made to standardize and simplify voting results across the province. Under single transferable vote and instant-runoff voting, results would take up to five days to count all the possible vote transfers, before anyone was declared elected. This was especially problematic, in Edmonton that elected seven members. As well, the government in 1955 had lost a few members in rural constituencies due to IRV, when they had received the largest portion of the vote in the constituency but were not elected to the seat after re-distribution of the ballots in the second round. The cancellation of IRV system was meant to prevent this in the future. As a result, 1959 saw the biggest increase in new districts since 1909 mostly in Calgary and Edmonton. The change was met by some harsh criticism at the time, for failing to consult the public, but it did little to hurt the Social Credit government at the polls.

Jennifer Maria Capriati (born March 29, 1976) is an American former professional tennis player. A member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, she won three singles championships in Grand Slam tournaments, a gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics, reached the World No. 1 ranking, and is considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Capriati set a number of youngest-ever records at the start of her career. She made her professional debut in 1990 at the age of 13 years 11 months, reaching the final of the hard-court tournament in Boca Raton, Florida. Capriati reached the semifinals of the French Open in her debut and later became the youngest ever player to reach the top 10 at age 14 years, 235 days in October of that year. Following a first-round loss at the 1993 US Open, Capriati took a 14-month break from competitive pro tennis. Her personal struggles during this time (including arrests for shoplifting and possession of marijuana) were well-documented by the press. In 1998, Capriati won her first Grand Slam singles match in five years at Wimbledon. During the next two years, Capriati slowly returned to championship form, winning her first title in six years in Strasbourg in 1999 and regaining a top-20 ranking. At the 2001 Australian Open, the reinvigorated Capriati became the lowest seed to ever win the championship when she defeated Martina Hingis in straight sets for her first Grand Slam championship. She also won the French Open that year, claiming the Women's Tennis Association No. 1 ranking in October. After successfully defending her Australian Open title in 2002, Capriati became a top-10 mainstay until injuries derailed her career in 2004. She won 14 professional singles tournaments during her career, along with one women's doubles championship.

(\"Black Panthers\" redirects here. For other uses, see Black Panthers (disambiguation).)(Not to be confused with the New Black Panther Party or the New Afrikan Black Panther Party.)\nThe Black Panther Party or BPP (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was a revolutionary black nationalist and socialist organization active in the United States from 1966 until 1982, with its only international chapter operating in Algeria from 1969 until 1972. At its inception on October 15, 1966, the Black Panther Party's core practice was its armed citizens' patrols to monitor the behavior of police officers and challenge police brutality in Oakland, California. In 1969, community social programs became a core activity of party members. The Black Panther Party instituted a variety of community social programs, most extensively the Free Breakfast for Children Programs, and community health clinics. Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover called the party \"the greatest threat to the internal security of the country\", and he supervised an extensive program (COINTELPRO) of surveillance, infiltration, perjury, police harassment, and many other tactics designed to undermine Panther leadership, incriminate party members, discredit and criminalize the Party, and drain the organization of resources and manpower. The program was also accused of assassinating Black Panther members. Government oppression initially contributed to the growth of the party as killings and arrests of Panthers increased support for the party within the black community and on the broad political left, both of whom valued the Panthers as a powerful force opposed to de facto segregation and the military draft. Black Panther Party membership reached a peak in 1970, with offices in 68 cities and thousands of members, then suffered a series of contractions. After being vilified by the mainstream press, public support for the party waned, and the group became more isolated. In-fighting among Party leadership, caused largely by the FBI's COINTELPRO operation, led to expulsions and defections that decimated the membership. Popular support for the Party declined further after reports appeared detailing the group's involvement in illegal activities such as drug dealing and extortion schemes directed against Oakland merchants. By 1972 most Panther activity centered on the national headquarters and a school in Oakland, where the party continued to influence local politics. Party contractions continued throughout the 1970s. By 1980 the Black Panther Party had just 27 members. The history of the Black Panther Party is controversial. Scholars have characterized the Black Panther Party as the most influential black movement organization of the late 1960s, and \"the strongest link between the domestic Black Liberation Struggle and global opponents of American imperialism\". Other commentators have described the Party as more criminal than political, characterized by \"defiant posturing over substance\".

A territorial dispute between Ecuador and Peru took place between 1857 and 1860. The dispute began when Ecuador attempted to sell Amazonian land claimed by Peru in order to settle a debt with British creditors. When diplomatic relations between the two countries broke down, prior to the fragmentation of the Ecuadorian government into several competing factions, the Peruvian government ordered a blockade of Ecuador's ports in order to force the cancellation of the sale, and the official acknowledgement of Peruvian ownership of the disputed territories. By late 1859, control of Ecuador was consolidated between General Guillermo Franco, in the city of Guayaquil, and a provisional government in Quito headed by Gabriel García Moreno. Peruvian President Ramón Castilla sailed to Guayaquil with several thousand soldiers in October 1859, and negotiated the Treaty of Mapasingue with General Franco in January 1860. The signing of the treaty indicated Ecuadorian compliance with all of Peru's demands, and temporarily marked the end of the territorial dispute between the two countries. However, in September 1860, the forces of the provisional government, commanded by García Moreno and General Juan José Flores defeated Franco's government at the Battle of Guayaquil, ending the civil war in Ecuador. The new government disavowed the Treaty of Mapasingue, followed shortly afterwards by its Peruvian counterpart; this re-opened the territorial dispute. The dispute is sometimes referred to as the Ecuadorian–Peruvian War of 1859, due to the temporary occupation of Ecuadorian territory by Castilla's forces upon arriving in Guayaquil. No fighting took place between the troops of the two countries within the duration of the dispute, although a detachment of Peruvian forces pledged by Castilla in the Treaty of Mapasingue was involved in the later Battle of Guayaquil.

Harold \"Paddy\" Carolin (1881-1967) was a rugby union player who represented South Africa and is credited with conceiving both the 3-4-1 scrum formation and helping choose the name 'Springboks' for the South African national side. Carolin was the second player ever to serve as captain abroad, following Paul Roos. Carolin was born on 10 April 1881 in Alicedale in the Western Cape and attended Diocesan College in Cape Town. At school he won the award for best all-round sportsman for four years consecutive years, and was captain of both the rugby and cricket teams. Carolin's first club was Villager Football Club, a Cape Town side. In 1903 Carolin is selected at centre alongside Japie Krige for the 3rd test against the touring British side at Newlands on 12 September 1903. He is captain of Villagers when he is chosen as vice-captain for the 1906-07 Springbok tour of Great Britain, Ireland, and France. Roos, Carolin, and team manager J C Carden chose the name 'Springboks' while on tour, prompted by the emblem that the side had worn on the left breast for the first time since the decision to do so had been taken in 1903. In the test against Scotland in Glasgow on 17 November 1906 Carolin became the second player to captain South Africa abroad when Paul Roos had to withdraw from the team. Carolin is often credited with inventing the 3-4-1 scrum formation in 1906, although he himself thought that fellow Villager Fairy Heatlie had first applied the formation in 1901. Heatlie and Carolin had both attended Diocesan College, although not at the same time. Danie Craven in turn pointed to 'Oubaas Mark' Markotter as the coach who had popularised and adapted the formation. The 1906 Springboks became \"the first national team to utilize the 3-4-1 formation\". In all Carolin played in 3 test matches and 15 tour matches for the Springboks. His last test was on 24 November against Ireland at the Balmoral Showgrounds in Belfast, which South Africa won 15 - 12. Carolin also played 9 first-class cricket matches for Western Province between 1902 and 1908. As a right-hand batter he scored 354 runs in 16 innings, and as a right-arm fast-medium bowler he took 30 wickets. Carolin moved to Moorreesburg to practice law and subsequently became involved in two local sports clubs. With the help of his law partner, Fred Luyt (Springbok, 1910–12), he helped establish Moorreesburg's rugby club (est. 1889) as a force in Boland rugby. He coached the local team, which at one time included future Springbok Chris Koch (Springbok, 1949–60), who Carolin moved from wing to prop. In the process Carolin created \"one of the very best ball players...amongst all of the world's international tight fives\". With a Dr J P du Toit Carolin co-founded the Moorreesburg golf club in August 1912. Carolin died in 1967. Danie Craven described Carolin as an \"outstanding player, captain, and powerful personality\".

NH Collection Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky, often informally referred to as Kras is a five-star hotel on Dam Square in central Amsterdam, Netherlands. The hotel has 451 rooms, a convention center, restaurants and a pier for boats on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal canal. The original owner of the hotel, Adolph Wilhelm Krasnapolsky, purchased the building in 1865 and turned it into a popular restaurant. He also bought the adjacent buildings and in 1879/1880 added rooms. During the same period he also built a chic conservatory with palm trees and cupola, designed by architect G.B. Salm. At that time, the use of glass and steel was a novelty and use of electric lighting was very modern for its time. To mark the exhibition of 1883 he built the business into a hotel with 125 rooms. In the late 19th century it was the only hotel in Amsterdam with hot water and telephones in each room. After World War I more buildings were purchased and the hotel was extended to Pijlsteeg. In 1971, the hotel was sold and in 1974 it became the Hotel Krasnapolsky. In the 1990s, the owners purchased a series of hotels and restaurants at home and abroad, including the Amsterdam Doelen Hotel, Schiller Hotel and Caransa Hotel. In 1998 Krasnapolsky Hotels & Restaurants N.V. (KHR) bought Golden Tulip International Golden Tulip, and in 2000 KHR was in turn bought up by NH Hotel Group.

The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) is a space-based telescope operated by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. FUSE was launched on a Delta II rocket on 24 June 1999, as a part of NASA's Origins program. FUSE detected light in the far ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, between 90.5-119.5 nanometres, which is mostly unobservable by other telescopes. Its primary mission was to characterize universal deuterium in an effort to learn about the stellar processing times of deuterium left over from the Big Bang.FUSE resides in a low Earth orbit, approximately 760 km (410 nmi) in altitude, with an inclination of 25 degrees and just less than a 100-minute orbital period. Its Explorer designation is Explorer 77. On 12 July 2007, FUSE's final reaction wheel, which is required for accurately pointing a spacecraft, failed and efforts to restart it were unsuccessful. An announcement was made on 6 September that because the fine control needed to perform its mission had been lost, the FUSE mission would be terminated.

Casey McGuire (born 24 January 1980) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. A Queensland State of Origin representative half back, he played his club football in Australasia's National Rugby League (NRL) for the Brisbane Broncos (with whom he won the 2006 NRL Premiership) and Parramatta Eels, as well as in Europe's Super League for the Catalans Dragons. Born 24 January 1980 in Nambour, Queensland, McGuire was playing junior footy for Caloundra Sharks & Kawana Dolphins. He then attended Caloundra State High QSSRL in 1997 when he was selected for the Australian Schoolboys rugby league team. He then made his NRL debut in the 1998 season for the Parramatta Eels. The next season he returned to Queensland to play for the Brisbane Broncos. At the Broncos he was a utility player, normally used in games from the bench. He achieved selection for the Queensland Maroons in the 2005 State of Origin series. Selected to play from the interchange bench in the 2006 NRL Grand Final, McGuire's last game for the Broncos, he threw a miracle pass which contributed to Brisbane's match-winning try. McGuire missed the Broncos' 2007 World Club Challenge appearance due to his move to France to play in Super League for Les Catalans. Having initially started playing the halves at Les Catalans, McGuire increasingly found himself playing at hooker and sharing much of the creative responsibilities with Adam Mogg and Thomas Bosc. He became a key figure in the side. He had also been named in the France squad for the Four Nations tournament, qualifying under the three-year residency rule, but did not play. McGuire returned to Australia and the club where he made his NRL comeback with his first club, the Parramatta Eels for the 2011 season, playing as five-eighth. He had been one of the shining lights in what has otherwise been a season of unrelenting disappointment at Parramatta, which has netted just five wins and a draw. He only missed a small number of games since returning to the NRL. A pectoral muscle injury during the 2012 NRL season put the remainder of McGuire's playing career in doubt.

The younger Vroom graduated from Columbia College, New York in 1808. After studying law at Somerville Academy he was admitted to the bar in 1813. Vroom was a member of the New Jersey General Assembly from 1826 to 1829. He then served as governor of New Jersey from 1829 to 1832 and 1833 to 1836. As governor, Vroom supported the establishment of the Camden and Amboy Railroad and the Delaware and Raritan Canal. In 1838, Vroom was one of five Democratic candidates for Congress to become involved in the Broad Seal War controversy. Disputed election results caused the U.S. House of Representatives to challenge the Whig candidates certified by Governor William Pennington. After a lengthy fight, Vroom and the four other Democrats were seated in place of the Whigs. Vroom lost his bid for reelection in 1840. He then served as a delegate to the New Jersey State Constitutional Convention in 1844. He was appointed by President Franklin Pierce as United States Minister to Prussia from November 4, 1853 through August 10, 1857. He died in Trenton, New Jersey and was buried in the DuMont Cemetery off River Road in Hillsborough, New Jersey.

5951 Alicemonet, provisional designation 1986 TZ1, is a stony Flora asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 6 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 7 October 1986, by American astronomer Edward Bowell at Anderson Mesa Station of the U.S. Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. The S-type asteroid is a member of the Flora family, one of the largest groups of stony asteroids in the main-belt. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.7–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 3 months (1,190 days). Its orbit is tilted by 5° to the plane of the ecliptic and shows a notable eccentricity of 0.22. The first precovery was obtained at Palomar Observatory in 1952, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 34 years prior to its discovery. In September 2012, a rotational light-curve was obtained using the SARA telescope at Cerro Tololo, Chile. The photometric observations rendered a well-defined rotation period of 3.8871±0.0005 hours with a brightness variation of 0.46 in magnitude (U=3). According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's space-based Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid measures 6.0 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.28, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 – derived from 8 Flora, the largest member and namesake of this orbital family – and calculates a diameter of 5.9 kilometers, based on an absolute magnitude of 13.3. The minor planet was named after American female astronomer Alice K.B. Monet (b. 1954, née Babcock) at the United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station and former chair of the Division on Dynamical Astronomy of the AAS. She contributed to the NEAR Shoemaker and Galileo Mission and is known for her numerous astrometric observations. Naming citation was first published on 1 July 1996 (M.P.C. 27460).

The RBC Heritage, known for much of its history as the Heritage Classic or simply the Heritage, is a PGA Tour event, first played in 1969. The venue has been the Harbour Town Golf Links at the Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The Harbour Town course, which frequently appears on several \"Best Courses\" lists, was designed by famed golf course architect Pete Dye, with assistance from Jack Nicklaus. In 1972, the first two rounds were played on both the Harbour Town Golf Links and the Ocean course at Sea Pines, with the final two rounds at Harbour Town. From 1987 through 2010, it was sponsored either by MCI (under both the \"MCI\" and \"WorldCom\" names) or its eventual purchaser, Verizon. In 2011, the tournament operated without a title sponsor. The Royal Bank of Canada was the title sponsor of The Heritage from 2012 until 2016. It is currently organized by The Heritage Classic Foundation.
