AreaVibes is a data analytics and real estate company based in Toronto, which provides clients with demographic data and analysis focused on real estate in American and Canadian cities. Background The online data collector Datanyze states that AreaVibes was founded in 2009 by Canadian entrepreneur Jon Russo. AreaVibes states that their aggregate data "takes into account dozens of characteristics in seven different categories including nearby amenities, cost of living, crime rates, employment, schools, housing and user ratings." The methodology employed by AreaVibes is publicly available on the company website. In 2020, it was revealed that AreaVibes outsources content writing services from Las Vegas-based search engine optimization company TextBroker. Data Crime AreaVibes online methodology states that crime data is taken from FBI Uniform Crime Reports and from Statistics Canada. In 2021, Business Insider stated that "AreaVibes is a useful resource for learning more about the crime rates in your zip code... AreaVibes also categorizes how much of reported crime falls under either violent crime or property crime, then breaks it down into smaller categories such as assault, burglary, and vehicle theft." In a comparison of various crime reporting websites published in the News & Observer, journalist Bob Wilson stated "one site that struck me as more reliable than others is AreaVibes.com." Other publications, however, have criticized and questioned AreaVibes crime data; for example, in 2017, the Farmville Herald argued that AreaVibes crime rankings "ignore the uniqueness of each locale." In 2021, the Great Falls Tribune stated that AreaVibes' crime data "is inaccurate and some of its sourcing is suspect." Livability score AreaVibes assigns a "livability score" to municipal regions. In 2014, Mark Hodapp reported that AreaVibes "created the scoring system using a unique algorithm" and that the livability score is "designed to help people find the best places to live." According to AreaVibes, "the Livability Score is a score out of 100 that was designed to help people quickly and easily evaluate the quality of an area. The score consists of 7 different categories and dozens of data points across multiple data sets." In publications Data reported by AreaVibes has been referenced in a number of popular news publications such as the Huffington Post and Business Insider, as well as in municipal newspapers such as the Great Falls Tribune and the Beaumont Enterprise. As of 2022, the academic database ProQuest lists 113 scholarly sources that reference AreaVibes; for example, in 2018, AreaVibes demographic data on Borough Park, Brooklyn was cited in an article published in the academic journal Contemporary Jewry.

John Emmitt (October 12, 1825 – December 6, 1901) was an American pioneer farmer and state legislator from the state of Oregon. He served four years in the Oregon State Senate as a Republican, representing a large rural district in western Oregon. Prior to being elected to the state senate, he was justice of the peace in Douglas County, Oregon. Later, Emmitt was appointed to the board of regents for Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University). Early life Emmitt was born on October 12, 1825 near the Susquehanna River in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Samuel and Catharine Emmitt. When he was fourteen, he moved with his parents to Logan County, Illinois, where he attended a public school. Emmitt married Caroline Thompson on September 17, 1847. She was a native of Tennessee, who moved to Logan County with her family in 1831. Together, they had twelve children. The first three were born in Illinois before 1851. In the spring of 1852, Emmitt and his wife headed for the Oregon Territory with their three young children. It was a six-month journey, travelling by wagon along the Oregon Trail. They brought five pair of oxen to pull their wagon plus two cows and a horse. Emmitt and all three children got sick with cholera along the way. Emmitt and his youngest child, Robert A. Emmitt, recovered, but his two older children died and were buried along the route. Pioneer farmer When Emmitt arrived in Oregon in 1852, he settled along the Umpqua River in Douglas County, where he secured a Donation Land Grant. The land claim was in Coles Valley, northwest of Roseburg. He built a one-room log cabin on his property. The Emmitt family lived in their rustic log cabin for the next 14 years. It was a difficult life. For example, it was two years before the family acquired a cook stove for the cabin and it was nine years before they had a clock in their home. In 1861, the Umpqua River overflowed its banks and flooded the Emmitt farm. The raising water forced the family to evacuate to higher ground. When the flood reached its high-water mark, the Emmitt family's cabin floor was covered with of water. After the water receded, the family moved back into their cabin. Because of the flood, Emmitt decided to build a new more modern home on higher ground. However, the new house was not finished until 1866. Emmitt and his wife lived in the new house for the rest of their lives. Emmitt was well known throughout Douglas County, where his neighbors elected him as the local justice of the peace. He also played an active role in the development of the county's road network and school system. Emmitt joined the Republican Party when it was first formed before the American Civil War and remained a dedicated Republican for the rest of his life. In 1880, Emmitt was a Douglas County delegate at the Oregon Republican convention held in Portland. Two years later, he once again represented Douglas County at the state Republican convention. State legislator In 1884, Emmitt decided to run for the District 7 seat in the Oregon State Senate. District 7 represented Douglas County, a large rural county in western Oregon. At that time, Douglas County had two senate seats so major political parties could nominate two candidates for the seats. The Republican Party nominated Emmitt and John H. Shupe for the two Douglas County senate seats. The Democratic Party nominated James Chenowith and W. F. Owens for the District 7 seats. In the 1884 general election, Emmitt and Shupe were elected to fill the two Douglas County senate seats. Shupe received 1,276 votes with Emmitt close behind with 1,212 while Chenowith got 1,105 and Owen finished last with 1,054. Emmitt took his place in the Oregon state senate on January 12, 1885. That was the beginning of the thirteenth regular session of Oregon's legislative assembly. During the session, Emmitt served as chairman of the senate counties committee. Among other things, his committee recommended an adjustment to the boundary between Lane and Douglas counties. He was also a member of the agriculture and elections committees. He served through the end of the session, which adjourned on February 21. Later that year, he returned to the capital for a special session that began on November 11. The special session lasted almost two weeks, ending on November 24. Since state senators served a four-year term, Emmitt did not have to run for re-election prior to the 1887 session. That session began on January 10 of that year. During the 1887 legislative session, he was appointed to the corporations and elections committees. The state's fourteenth regular legislative session ended on February 18, 1887. Emmitt's state senate term expired at the end of 1888 without any additional legislative meetings. Later life After the 1885 special legislature session ended, Republican Governor Zenas F. Moody appointed Emmitt to the board of regents for Oregon Agricultural College. He remained on the board for the next nine years, serving through Governor Moody's term in office and continuing to serve after being reappointed by Democratic Governor Sylvester Pennoyer. He also stayed active in Republican politics. For example, Emmet represented Douglas County at the state's Republican convention in 1890. Emmitt continued to farm and raise livestock for the rest of his life. Over the years, he added to his property until he owned of farm and pasture land. The entire property was improved for efficient farming. It was always well cultivated, resulting in abundant crop production. Emmitt also raised considerable livestock on his land. By 1901, Emmitt had become feeble due to old age and eventually fell ill. He died at his home in Coles Valley on December 6, 1901 at the age of 75. He was survived by his wife and eight of their children. His funeral was held on December 9, 1901. After the funeral, Emmitt was buried in the Coles Valley Cemetery in Douglas County, Oregon. His wife, Caroline, died at their Coles Valley home in 1907.

The Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 is a bill in the United States Congress intended to address "the finances and operations of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS)", specifically to lift budget requirements imposed on the Service by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act and require it to continue six day a week delivery of mail. The act was first introduced on May 11, 2021, by Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). The House of Representatives then passed the bill by 342–92 on February 8, 2022. The Postal Service Reform Act is expected to pass the Senate as well. On February 28, 2022 the Senate voted 74-20 to begin floor debate on the bill. Background Similar bills to the Postal Service Reform Act have been proposed in recent years, but none passed. Under the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA), the USPS would be required pre-fund benefits for future retirees, which would cost the agency about $5.5 billion annually. The PAEA would require the USPS to pre-fund these pensions more than fifty years in advance. This requirement has caused the USPS to accumulate billions in debt annually in recent years. The USPS Fairness Act would have allowed the USPS to still continue to pay benefits from the accumulated funding (about $56.8 billion in 2020) until depleted, but the intended purpose of the USPS Fairness Act was to remove the pre-funding requirements placed on the agency by the PAEA. That bill passed in the House (309 - 106) in 2019 but died in the Senate.

Piercing the Reich, subtitled "The Battle for Aachen, Siegfreid Line Campaign, September–October 1944", is a board wargame published by Moments in History (MiH) in 1995 that is an operational simulation of the Battle of Aachen during World War II. Background After their breakout from Normandy in August 1944, and a rapid advance through France, Allied forces came up against the Siegfried Line along the heavily defended German border in September 1944. American forces attacked the line at the city of Aachen, hoping to achieve a quick breakthrough that would allow them to capture their first German city and move into the industrial heartland of the Ruhr Valley. Description Piercing the Reich is a two-player wargame using a set of rules created by MiH for their previous wargame publication Triumphant Fox. One player controls the German forces entrenched before the city of Aachen. The other player controls the Allied forces. Due to a variable objective rule, the Allies' final objective is determined randomly. Components The game box contains: 22" x 34" paper hex grid map, scaled at 1 km (0.6 mi) per hex 360 double-sided die-cut counters 64-page rule book four player aid cards a 10-sided die Scenarios Five scenarios are presented, but the first is a solo training scenario, and 4 and 5 are the eight-turn campaign game. Gameplay The German player starts with a large proportion of second-rate troops (Volksgrenadiers) but they are in a strong defensive position, and benefit from strong reinforcements later in the game. The American player starts with more forces, but they are of lower effectiveness, reflecting their lack of combat experience. Each turn, both sides roll for initiative, with the winner able to activate a unit first for movement or combat. Each unit is rated from 4 to 7 for the number of times per turn it can be activated. If a unit moves adjacent to an enemy unit, the opponent has a chance for a reactive activation. During each turn, the American player must draw a chit from a pool of seven; four are blank, and three of them contain an attack objective (either take Aachen, surround Aachen, or bypass Aachen and push to the Roer River). The German player has a 1 in 10 chance each turn to discover the American objective. As reviewer David Fox noted, combat is quite complex, and involves either a hasty attack or a prepared attack that can involve air support, artillery and engineers. Victory conditions For the campaign game, the American player must amass 36 victory points to win, earning these from damaging and destroying enemy units and taking certain geographical objectives. The German player wins by preventing the American player from reaching 36 points. Talking version MiH offered an instructional audiocassette for sale titled "Talking Version". The tape featured commentary by the game designer, Dirk Blennemann, and MiH founder Ulrich Blennemann, who play through some of Scenario 2 while discussing what is happening, and how the play is affected by the rules. Publication history Piercing the Reich was designed by Dirk Blennemann, an officer in the German reserves who lived in Aachen. Interior art was by John Kranz, and cartography was by Beth Queman. The game was published by MiH in 1995. Twenty years later, Blennemann revised the rules for the game. He also responded to criticism of Piercing the Reichs ugly map and artwork by completely redesigning and updating the graphics. The result, Crossing the Line, Aachen 1944, was published by Furor Teutonicus Games in 2019. Reception In Issue 44 of The Canadian Wargaming Journal, Keith Martens found the rules "quite complete and clearly laid out." He thought the game was balanced, with the Germans weaker but entrenched, and the Americans more numerous but greener. Martens concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "Give Piercing the Reich a go. You will not be disappointed. David Fox, writing for Berg's Review of Games, thought the game box's cover was "dreadful", and "The map, ugh, is Beth Queman in one of her less-than-inspired moments. [...] Yuck." Despite this Berg liked the rules, saying, "I like this system a lot-- it's an original way of portraying the fluid, attack/counter-attack nature of World War II mobile combat." Although he found the combat system quite complex, he came to like it. Fox concluded "Another winner from Moments in History [...] the best, and most enjoyable, battalion-level WWII around." Eric Pass, in Issue 106 of Games Games Games, disagreed with other reviewers that the map was terrible, finding the map "neither execrable nor outstanding." Pass noted that this was a new generation of wargame that deviated from the 30-year tradition of "I go, You go", and although he found the new rules complex to learn, "players who persevere will be rewarded with a tense, exciting game winnable by both sides." He concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "A fine balance of playability and simulation, I recommend PtR as a good study of the Battle of Aachen." Matt White reviewed the second edition of the game, Crossing the Line, for Armchair General, and found the quality of the "beautiful" artwork and graphics was a marked improvement over the 1st edition. He did not find the rules overly complex, rating them a 6 out of 10 on the complexity scale, and noted, "The game features many interesting rules and game mechanics." Although White found the scenarios long, he still thought the campaign game was "engrossing and very compelling." He concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "This is an excellent maiden game package from Furor Teutonics Games and I look very much forward to what they produce in the future." Awards The first edition of Piercing the Reich was a finalist for the Charles S. Roberts Award for "Best World War II Board Game of 1995".

Gameplay The game is heavily based around fifth-generation console platformers, such as Super Mario 64 and Tomb Raider. The game also utilizes movement options like wall running, wall jumping, and swinging and grappling with a Yo-yo item, and introduces gravity effects resembling Super Mario Galaxy's planetoids, and puzzle platforming sections. If using a controller, the player can preform a pressure-sensitive dab move. Plot The game's opening uses a live action FMV cutscene to show Dominoes Pizza mascot, The Noid, getting his Yo-yo stolen. As The Noid goes on a quest to retrieve it, he finds himself in the Noid Void, a cosmic realm full of sentient pizza toppings and ingredients. The Noid learns that the Heavenly Spire, a leaning pizza tower, has been stolen. With the denizens of the Noid Void living in a world without pizza, The Noid takes it upon himself to find the stolen pizzas and bring them back to the Noid Void. Upon reconstructing the Heavenly Spire, The Noid climbs to the top to discover a dark room, with chains and television screens of a shadowed figure illuminating the space. The shadowed figure reveals himself to be 'Mike Hatsune', a blue-haired corporate official, who stole The Noid's Yo-yo and the pizzas that composed the Heavenly Spire. Mike tells The Noid that he is no longer a worthy mascot, and has been replaced with a new icon who can be a voice for people and pizza alike, calling the new mascot a "vocal Noid." Once the new mascot is released, Mike Hatsune threatens to erase the Noid Void for good. The Noid defeats Mike in combat, and Mike tells him that his fate is already set in motion, as the first domino has fallen, and his replacement is out for delivery. The room becomes overrun with visual glitches and cuts to black, as a digital voice can be heard saying "Dominoes Pizza." Development Yo! Noid 2: Enter the Void was completed in one month, from June 30, 2017, to August 1, 2017. The name used on platform itch.io comes from Episode 58 of the Waypoint Radio Podcast, titled "Yo! Noid Was Ahead of Its Time", following one of the game jam's rules that the title had to come from a Waypoint Radio title. The visual style of the Noid Void was inspired by the backgrounds of Will Vinton's Noid advertisements. The game's plot, including its antagonist Mike Hatsune, is based on vocaloid Hatsune Miku, and uses elements of the 2013 Domino's App feat. Hatsune Miku, a Japan-only food delivery app that gained notoriety in the west after its commercial, featuring president and CEO of Domino's Pizza Japan, Scott Oelkers, went viral. The idea of a vocaloid replacing The Noid as a mascot comes from the discontinuation of Domino's Noid mascot in America. Reception and Legacy The game received overall warm reception, with critics noting its surreal, but lighthearted tone, but occasional brutal difficulty. The game was featured in Summer Games Done Quick 2018, as speedrunner AlucardX60 completed the game in 13:15. The game was featured on the WWAYTV3 news channel, as a review on the Gaming Trends segment of the program, with critic David Lewis noting its surreal nature and work of love from fans.

Jörg Wunderlich (born 19 December 1939) is a German arachnologist and palaeontologist. He is best known for his study of spiders in amber, describing over 1000 species, 300 genera, 50 tribes/subfamilies and 18 families in over 180 publications. Unlike most other arachnologists Jörg has never held any academic position and has worked as a private individual with no financial support for travel or equipment. Personal Life Jörg Wunderlich grew up in the east of Berlin and moved to the western part of the city with his family in 1951. The limited possibilities of schooling in the post-war period and the change to a school system with very different curricula meant that Wunderlich did not finish school until he was 20 years old. He began studying mathematics at the Free University of Berlin to become a teacher, but soon switched to biology, geography, political science and philosophy. His state examination at the university was a study of dwarf spiders at the Peacock Island in Berlin, in which he identified over 300 species of spiders, two of them new to science (Glyphesis taoplesius, Moebelia berolinensis). In 1969, Wunderlich moved to Straubenhardt, completed his pedagogy training and became a teacher at the Neuenbürg high school for 25 years (part-time for the last 15 years). At his new place of residence in Straubenhardt, Wunderlich became a member of Alliance 90/The Greens and was in the municipal council for 10 years. Arachnology Wunderlich worked autodidactically in arachnology, he had no teacher or colleague who was familiar with spiders. Otto Kraus was the first to give him advice and put him in contact with experts on literature and arachnology. Wunderlich became in personal contact with experts such as Hermann Wiehle, Wolfgang Crome, Herbert Levi, and Konrad Thaler, among others. He began his career studying spiders particularly in Linyphiidae and Theridiidae and undertook collecting trips to various countries (Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Gambia, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Peru, Singapore, USA and almost all of Europe), however he became interested in the spiders of Macaronesia. By the time he was 75 years old his interests broadened, particularly to amber spiders. Selected Publications References German arachnologists 1939 births Living people
Oliver Sherman Prescott (March 24, 1824 - November 17, 1903) was a prominent American Anglo-Catholic priest and activist who was active in the foundation of the Society of St. John the Evangelist. He was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and baptized by Harry Croswell at Trinity Church on the Green in that city. Prescott attended Trinity College, Hartford from 1840 to 1842 and Yale College from 1843 to 1844; he was graduated from the General Theological Seminary in New York in 1847 and made a deacon that year at Trinity Church in New Haven. He considered himself a protégé at the General of Professor Clement Clarke Moore. Prescott was an early member of the abortive monastic order the Society of the Holy Cross, founded at Valle Crucis, North Carolina by Bishop Levi Silliman Ives. Following the collapse of the order, he served as an assistant priest at the Church of the Advent, Boston; here his Ritualist activities provoked the censure of the diocesan Bishop Manton Eastburn and resulted in four ecclesiastical trials between 1850 and 1853. He was acquitted. Prescott served in a number of other parishes—the Church of the Ascension, Westminster, Maryland (1852-1857); St. Peter's, Ellicott City, Maryland (1857-1861); Trinity Church, Newport, Rhode Island (1861-1864); and Christ Church, West Haven, Connecticut (1865-1869) without provoking ritual or doctrinal controversy. He next joined the Cowley Fathers (the Society of St. John the Evangelist (SSJE) with Charles Chapman Grafton and Richard Meux Benson, living at their religious houses in England from 1869 to 1876. Prescott then served at S. Clement's Church, Philadelphia from 1876 to 1881, during which time the SSJE entered into a more formal relationship with the parish. He was rector in succession to Theodore M. Riley. Extensive local religious controversy continued here over matters of Anglo-Catholic ceremonial and practice, with charges brought against Prescott by Bishop William Bacon Stevens. In June of 1879, Prescott was formally charged with genuflection, using candles unnecessary for light, wearing unauthorized vestments, elevating the eucharistic host and chalice, employing acolytes, celebrating Holy Communion without sufficient numbers of communicants, and using prayer texts and hymns unauthorized in the Protestant Episcopal Church. He was again acquitted. After S. Clement's, Prescott was rector of St. Peter's Church, Ripon, Wisconsin in the Episcopal Diocese of Fond du Lac (1882-1886) and finally St. Luke's Church, New Haven, an historic African American congregation, beginning in 1886. He was a deputy to the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America from the Diocese of Fond du Lac in 1883 and 1886. He died unmarried and without issue in Verbank, New York and was buried in a family cemetery plot in New Haven. Prescott's successor as rector of S. Clement's Duncan Convers SSJE wrote an undated manuscript biography that was subsequently used by Jervis Zimmerman in the preparation of his 2012 biography.

The French convoy protest le Convoi de la Liberté ("the liberty convoy") is an ongoing protest in Paris inspired by the Canadian convoy protests. They are protesting COVID-19 restrictions as well as president Emmanuel Macron. Officials in Paris and Brussels banned protests relating to the Freedom Convoy, following information from organizers of a similar event opposed to France's Health Pass that five convoys from across France are due to reach Paris between February 11 and 14. French Police intercepted hundreds of vehicles and issued hundreds of fines in response to the protest. Riot police employed tear gas against protesters and arrested 44 people on February 12. The protesters had been armed with weapons, including "slingshots, hammers, knives, gas cans and protective equipment."

Jackie's Warrior (foaled February 13, 2018) is a Champion American Thoroughbred racehorse who has won three Grade I events including the Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga, the Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park in 2020 and the H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes at Saratoga (2021). Jackie's Warrior was awarded as Eclipse Award as American Champion Sprint Horse in 2021. Background Jackie's Warrior is a bay colt that was bred in Kentucky by J & J Stables. His sire is Maclean's Music and his dam is Unicorn Girl, a daughter from A. P. Five Hundred, who was a winner of 19 races and an earner of $483,508. Jackie's Warrior was her third foal and first stakes winner. He was bought for $95,000 by J. Kirk Robison out of Taylor Made Sales Agency's consignment at the 2019 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Jackie's Warrior was named by her breeders, Jennie and John Williams of J and J Stables in Florida, to honor Jennie's sister, Jackie Ross, a brain cancer survivor in remission. Jackie's Warrior is trained by Steven M. Asmussen and his jockey is Joel Rosario. Racing career 2020: Two-year-old season Jackie's Warrior began his career on 19 June at Santa Anita Park in a Maiden event for two-year-olds over a distance of five furlongs facing six other non-winners of which only one had race before. The more experience Petit Verdot bounced out in front and from the inside barrier 2 position Jackie's Warrior tracked the leader then switch to the outside on the turn and in the straight a furlong from home cleared away to win by lengths in a time of 57.49 seconds. Impressed with his victory, trainer Steve Asmussen pointed Jackie's Warrior towards the two-year-old stakes races at Saratoga. In his next start on 7 August, Jackie's Warrior led throughout winning the Grade II Saratoga Special Stakes by three lengths. Jockey Joel Rosario commented after winning the race, "When they came to him, he wanted to go, and I felt even more confident at that point. I knew he had something left." After his second race J. Kirk Robison added his wife as part owner of Jackie's Warrior. Four weeks later Jackie's Warrior faced seven rivals in the Grade I Hopeful Stakes. Again Jackie's Warrior went to the lead and opened up a five-length lead over even-money favorite Reinvestment Risk in the straight before finishing over 2 lengths in front at the wire. Jackie's Warrior as the 9/5 second choice finished in a time of 1:21.29 which was a new stakes record for the event. Jackie's Warrior's next start was on 10 October in the Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park where he faced five other entrants. Starting at the 17/20 odds-on favorite Jackie's Warrior bounced in front leading Reinvestment Risk throughout and extending his lead in the straight to win his fourth straight victory by lengths in a time of 1:35.42. Regular jockey Rosario complemented "I was very confident that he could get the mile. He just enjoyed what he was doing." Jackie's Warrior earned 10 points in qualification in the Road to the Kentucky Derby and emerged as the favorite for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. The Breeders' Cup Juvenile, held at Keeneland attracted a full field of 14 and Jackie's Warrior started as the 9/10 odds-on favorite. From barrier 2, jockey Joel Rosario was not able to get to the lead from the start but had to settle and trail longshot Dreamer's Disease. Jackie's Warrior forged a path to the outside of the Dreamer's Disease leaving the backstretch and was able to hit the front and lead by half-length. However, second favorite from midfield Essential Quality also moved four-wide advance towards the lead, outside of Jackie's Warrior passing the other leaders and winning. Jackie's Warrior gallantly finished fourth beaten lengths. Jackie's Warrior finished a distant second to Essential Quality in the Eclipse Award for US Champion Two-Year-Olds. 2021: Three-year-old season After a break of over three months Jackie's Warrior resumed his career still with the plans to qualify for the Kentucky Derby as an entrant in the Grade III Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park over miles. Starting brightly and leading early, Jackie's Warrior tired in the straight, finishing a distant third to Essential Quality and Spielberg. Soon after, connections informed that Jackie's Warrior would be off the Kentucky Derby trail. On Kentucky Derby Day, Jackie's Warrior started as the 23/10 favorite in the undercard event, the Grade II Pat Day Mile Stakes for three-year-olds over the mile distance. After leading, Jackie's Warrior held on strongly to hold of Dream Shake to win by a neck. Jockey Rosario commented after the race, "He likes when a horse comes up to him, and he really digs in. I was not worried about the fast early pace because he fights very hard down the stretch." Jackie's Warrior's third start of the year was at Belmont Park in the Grade I Woody Stephens Stakes over seven furlongs where he face five other three-year-olds. Again starting well and leading with fast fractions of 22.09, 44.19 Jackie's Warrior seemed to have the race in hand but was beaten by Drain The Clock by a neck. According to his jockey he stumbled out of the starting gate which may have cost him the race. After a two-month break Jackie's Warrior returned to Saratoga where he had success the previous season. Starting as the 1/2 odds-on favorite in the Grade II Amsterdam Stakes Jackie's Warrior made amends defeating Drain the Clock by lengths on a sloppy track. Four weeks later in the Grade I H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes Jackie's Warrior found a formidable foe in Life Is Good. Their clash was a memorable battle down the straight as Jackie's Warrior came from off the lead to win by a neck in a fast time of 1:21.39. Jackie's Warrior was slightly more fitter as Life Is Good was having his first start after 171 day layoff that included an operation. On 25 September, Jackie's Warrior had his next start in the Grade II Gallant Bob Stakes at Parx Racing in Bensalem. Jackie's Warrior started as the overwhelming 1/20 odds-on favorite and simply toyed with his opposition winning by nearly seven length in a time of 1:08.64 for the six furlong distance. Jackie's Warrior last start of the year would be in the Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar on 6 November. Installed as the hot 1/2 odds-on favorite Jackie's Warrior Was quick out of the gate and clocked fractions of 21.91, 44.11 while being pressed by Special Reserve and Matera Sky. In the straight Jackie's Warrior tired to finish sixth in the field of nine. Jackie's Warrior performance in 2021 was impressive enough that the NTRA awarded him an Eclipse Award as American Champion Sprint Horse for 2021. Statistics Notes: An (*) asterisk after the odds means Jackie's Warrior was the post-time favourite.

The Northern Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode Island is an unrecognized tribe in Rhode Island, founded by formerly enrolled members of the federally recognized Narragansett Tribe, who were removed from the tribal rolls in the group removals of 1993 and 2006. The tribe acquired 501(c)(3) status in 2010. History The first group removal of Narragansett tribal members occurred in 1993, where 91 members were removed. Among the removed was the future founder and sachem of the Northern Narragansett, Otis Bliss. In 2006 another 119 were removed, including Yvette Champlain who was a tribal council member at the time. Champlain claims that the removals were based on greed, and were intended to prevent the removed from receiving tribal and federal money. Scholars and activists see this as a national trend among tribes, prompted by a variety of factors, including internal family rivalries and the issue of significant new revenues from Indian casinos. Those who had been removed in 1993 had been petitioning for re-enrollment for the last decade to no avail, and when the 2006 removal occurred, it served as a catalyst for a new tribe to be formed with these newly removed members, in order to attempt to reassert their recognized status as American Indians. The new tribe was formed in 2006 largely under the leadership of Sachem Bliss. The first tribal meeting was held on November 18, 2006, and the tribe was incorporated on February 15, 2007. The tribe has not been recognized by the federal nor any state government. Government The tribe is headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island. The tribal council, formed in 2007, consists of general councilmen/women, and several different offices: Sachem (occupied by Otis Bliss since founding), First Council, Second Council, Prophet, Medicine Person, and Genealogist. Membership The tribe has about 500 enrolled members. Membership is based on lineal descent from any individual recognized by the tribe as Narragansett. The tribe does not limit it's membership solely to descendants of the 1880 Narragansett Roll, unlike the federally recognized tribe. The verification process, although relatively less critical than that of the federally recognized tribe, still takes care to fact check the relationships stated and requires birth certificates as proof. Most members of the tribe are relatively low income, having been heavily reliant on tribal benefits before their expulsion from the federally recognized tribe. As there are no full blood Narragansett left, tribal members have a large portion of typically either European or African ancestry, along with Narragansett blood.

Harts of the West is a humorous contemporary western about a Chicago family moving to a run-down Nevada ranch. The series consisted of 15 hour-long episodes that aired on CBS Saturdays, 9:00 to 10:00 p.m., from September 1993 until June 1994. Much of the series was shot on location in downtown Mayer, Arizona, a small town near Prescott. Clint Black wrote and sang the theme song, In a Laid Back Way. CBS scheduled the series between two popular westerns – Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman and Walker, Texas Ranger, and it received positive reviews. One reviewer wrote "Don’t make the mistake of ignoring Harts of the West", and another stated the show was "One of the fall season's more appealing new series." However, the series left the schedule in January 1994, with a few final episodes being shown in June 1994. Synopsis Dave Hart was a lingerie salesman in Chicago who'd always dreamed of being a cowboy. He had named his three children after western writers and an actor – 16-year-old son Zane after Zane Grey, 15-year-old daughter L'Amour after Louis L’Amour, and 10-year-old son John Wayne (called Duke) after the famous western star. After suffering a mild heart attack Dave decided to follow his dream, and purchased the Flying Tumbleweed Ranch, sight unseen, after reading a sales brochure published in 1957. Duke is the only other family member in favor of moving out West. The property is a dude ranch in disrepair, near the town of Sholo, Nevada, population 90. Sholo's business district has a trading post - grocery store run by an 80-year-old Native American named Auggie, and the Hanging Tree Cafe, run by a Canadian-hating sheriff, R.O., and his ex-wife Rose. Dave goes out to the Flying Tumbleweed and is shot at by Jake, a grizzled ex-convict who claims to be the ranch foreman. Jake informs Dave that the man who sold the ranch has died, and his ashes are scattered over the Flying Tumbleweed. The foreman is able to find a group of motley ranch hands, most with a prison record. Dave's wife, Allie, is willing to try ranch life for a while, though the elder children initially have little enthusiasm for the idea.

Maren Morris: Reimagined is an extended play (EP) by American country artist Maren Morris. It was released on May 31, 2019, via Sony Music Entertainment and contained three tracks all produced by Dave Cobb. The project was a re–working of Morris's most popular singles cut in a acoustic style. It premiered exclusively through Apple Music with an accompanying video that highlighted the recording process. Background, content and release Maren Morris reached her breakthrough with songs that were grounded in the country music, but also fused elements of R&B, pop and rock. The balance helped bring Morris crossover success with songs like "The Middle" and "The Bones". Morris collaborated in 2019 with producer Dave Cobb to remake her material in an acoustic fashion. "I think the mark of a good song is you can rearrange it up and it still is a very defining song. Dave you know, his production is so rootsy and very soulful and Americana and he just understands that sound so intensely," she explained. Maren Morris: Reimagined was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at RCA Studio B. Maren Morris: Reimagined contained a total of three songs. All three songs were previously re–recorded and had been commercially–successful singles for Morris in her career: "Girl", "The Bones" and "The Middle". Taste of Country described the tracks in detail in their description of the EP: "'Girl' is infused with a more roots sound, while 'The Middle' still has a pop vibe as the melody is created with piano, bass and a cajon beatbox. The integrity of 'The Bones' remains intact, with acoustic guitar accompanying Morris as she soulfully sings the lyrics." The EP was released through Apple Music on May 31, 2019. It was issued via Sony Music Nashville with a companion video. The film showed clips of the recording process, with excerpts of Cobb and Morris in the studio.

Aleksandar Radojević (; born 21 May 1965) is a medical doctor and politician in Serbia. He served in the National Assembly of Serbia from 2012 to 2016, initially as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party (Srpska napredna stranka, SNS) and later as an independent. He is now a member of the People's Party (Narodna stranka, NS). Early life and career Radojević was born in the village of Preljina in Čačak, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He is a pneumatic physiologist. He resigned from the Čačak General Hospital in 2019 after twenty-five years, citing poor working conditions over an extended period of time. Politician Parliamentarian Radojević was given the seventy-fourth position on the Progressive Party's Let's Get Serbia Moving electoral list in the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election and narrowly missed direct election when the list won seventy-three mandates. He was awarded a seat on 25 June 2012 as the replacement for another party member. The SNS formed a coalition government with the Socialist Party of Serbia (Socijalistička partija Srbije, SPS), and Radojević served as a supporter of the administration. In his first term, he was a member of the committee on labour, social issues, social inclusion, and poverty reduction; a deputy member of the committee on education, science, technological development, and the information society; a deputy member of the health and family committee; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Azerbaijan, China, Greece, Iraq, Macedonia, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, and the United States of America. He appeared in the 104th position on the SNS's list in the 2014 parliamentary election and was re-elected when the list won a landslide victory with 158 out of 250 seats. He was a member of the health and family committee and a deputy member of the environmental protection committee in his second term, as well serving on the friendship groups for Algeria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Indonesia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Turkmenistan, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Venezuela. He was briefly a member of Serbia's delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union assembly and later served in its delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly (where Serbia has observer status). He was not a candidate in the 2016 parliamentary election. Local politics Radojević led the SNS's list for Čačak in the 2012 local elections and was elected when the list won thirteen seats. New Serbia (Nova Srbija, NS) won the election; The SNS served in opposition, and Radojević led its group in the city assembly. He left the SNS in early March 2016, charging that a figure from New Serbia had taken over the party's local branch in Čačak, and established an independent political movement called For a More Progressive Čačak. He led the movement's list in the 2016 local elections and was re-elected to the city assembly when it won six seats. He again served in opposition. In June 2019, Radojević became president of the city board of the People's Party in Čačak. The party boycotted the 2020 Serbian local elections, and his term in the assembly came to an end that year.

Books of Wonder is an independent bookstore and publisher based in Manhattan. It was established in 1980 by Peter Glassman and James Carey and is focused on selling antique, classic and new children's books. It has been called "New York City's oldest children's-only bookstore" still in activity. History The first Books of Wonder store was established in 1980 on Hudson Street in Greenwich Village. Peter Glassman, who had recently dropped out from Brown University, wanted a place to sell his antique children's books to collectors. After Carey and Glassman finished setting up the bookshelves and placing the items, the couple realized they still had plenty of space left and decided to sell classic and new children's books in addition to Glassman's books. During its first year open, the store made around US$78,000 and saw enough success that they decided to move from its 150 square feet to a larger location in 1982. The location on Hudson Street factored into the store's early success, as it was close to a number of schools and was used frequently by New Jersey commuters. Two years later, in 1984, at an American Bookseller Association conference, Glassman and Carey met with David Reuther, then editor-in-chief of Morrow Junior Books. There, Glassman discussed with Reuther his idea to reissue all the Oz books originally written by L. Frank Baum, which would also include the original illustrations in full color. As this aligned with Reuther's plan on reissuing classic children's books, and due to low costs because of expired copyrights, he agreed to help, and in the next year they started an imprint under William Morrow and Company. The imprint, initially called Books of Wonder Classics, grew as they began to hire artists to illustrate and color classic children's books that lacked illustrations, which included A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. In 1988, Books of Wonder also opened a small press, called Emerald City Press, and began publishing its own books at the store and via mail order. Other stores Books of Wonder first expanded in 1986, when a new, larger store was opened on Seventh Avenue in Chelsea. In 1991, a branch of the store opened in Beverly Hills, California, funded in part by Cheers co-creators Les Charles and James Burrows. It included an art gallery, directed by Michael Cart, where customers could buy original pictures by children's books illustrators. By 1993, both the Hudson Street and Beverly Hills locations were struggling. Road repairs in Greenwich Village had hurt foot and vehicle traffic to the former, and the California location was affected by the 1992 Los Angeles riots, flooding, and an earthquake. The Hudson Street store closed in 1993, and the Beverly Hills location closed in 1994. On June 2017, Glassman announced that he would be opening a new Books of Wonder at Upper West Side, mentioning having a second place would be beneficial in case he was unable to renew the lease of the Chelsea store, which was ending soon. The location, which had 2,600 square feet, was formerly a Gymboree, which factored in Glassman's decision, due to the need of "a doorway wide enough to accommodate double strollers". Glassman also spoke about the demographics of the region, which he saw as "the most family friendly neighborhood in the city". The new store opened on September 2017, but had to close in 2021, when the building where the store was located changed owners. Notable sellers Various children's books authors and illustrators started as sellers at Books of Wonder before having their books published. Among those are Nick Bruel, Jason Chin, Julie Fogliano, Jenny Han and George O'Connor. Editor Neal Porter called this group of authors the "Books of Wonder mafia".

Daniel Stauber is an American former ice hockey player and coach who was the NCAA Division III coach of the year. Career Stauber's college career began in 1984 with Wisconsin–Superior. Unfortunately, during his four years as a player, the Yellowjackets never finished with a winning record. After graduating, Stauber briefly played professional hockey in Sweden before retiring in 1989. He remained with the game, becoming an assistant coach at Wisconsin–Eau Claire shortly thereafter. In the mid-90's he became the head coach at Waupaca High School and later his alma mater, Denfeld High School. Stauber was lured back to Wisconsin–Superior in 1998 as an assistant coach. He served under his former coach, Steve Nelson, for two seasons before being named as his replacement in 2000. While Nelson had led Wisconsin–Superior to the frozen four in seven of the previous nine seasons, the team had been unable to win the championship. In Stauber's first season as head coach, that trend continued; while he led the program to its first ever 30-win season, UWS was defeated by Plattsburgh State in the national semifinal. A year later, however, Stauber finally got his team to reach the promised land when they downed the Norwich Cadets 3–2 in overtime to win their first NCAA national championship. Stauber was named as the national coach of the year for his efforts. The team declined a bit after the championship, but Stauber continued to lead them to positive results for many years afterwards. The Yellowjackets made two more appearances in the NCAA tournament but, by the 2010s, they had fallen down in the standings. During his tenure as head coach, Stauber went back to class and earned a Master's in education. In 2016, Stauber stepped down as head coach a little more than a year after setting the program record for the most wins behind the bench. He returned to the high school ranks with Proctor High School, serving as the boys ice hockey couch for four seasons before hanging up his whistle in 2020 and working as a teacher thereafter. Personal life Stauber's three brothers all played college hockey. Jamie attended Wisconsin–Eau Claire in the early 80's, Pete won a Division I national championship at Lake Superior State and Robb won the Hobey Baker Award while attending Minnesota before embarking on a career in the NHL. Towards the end of his tenure at Wisconsin–Superior, Dan coached his son Owen with the Yellowjackets. He also had several nephews play college hockey, including Jaxson, Levi and Willy.

John R. Anderson, also known as J. Richard Anderson (1818–May 20, 1863), was an American minister from St. Louis, Missouri, who fought against slavery and for education for African Americans. As a boy, he was an indentured servant, who attained his freedom at the age of 12. Anderson worked as a typesetter for the Missouri Republican and for Elijah Parish Lovejoy's anti-slavery newspaper, the Alton Observer. He founded the Antioch Baptist Church in Brooklyn, Illinois and then returned to St. Louis where he was a co-founder and the second pastor of the Central Baptist Church. He served the church until his death in 1863. More than half of his congregants were slaves. Reverend Anderson helped enslaved people attain freedom by encouraging them to file freedom suits and by raising funds to emancipate them. He was a minister and spiritual advisor to Harriet Scott and Dred Scott, of the landmark Dred Scott v. Sandford Supreme Court case. In 1854, Anderson operated the floating Freedom School, after its founder John Berry Meachum's death, and he lobbied for schools for black children. He worked with a ten-person board to bring subscription and public schools to the city. After ten years, a law was enacted in 1864 that provided funding for four or five public schools. There were four subscription schools also established by that year. He founded the first African American Masonic temple west of the Mississippi River in the early 1860s. Early life and education John Richard Anderson was born in 1818 in Shawneetown, Illinois. His parents had been enslaved in Virginia. As a child, Anderson moved with the family he belonged to, to Missouri. Legally, his past residence in Illinois territory meant that he was free. He moved to Missouri with Sarah Bates, the sister of United States Attorney General Edward Bates. While he was technically an indentured servant, he was treated like a slave until the age of 12, when he attained his freedom. Anderson and his mother Chloe Anderson were emancipated by Sarah Bates on January 25, 1830. As a child, he learned to read at the Sunday school of the First Colored Church, which was established by Reverends James Welch and John Mason Peck. Anderson received most of his education in reading and theology at John Berry Meachum's "Freedom School," which was conducted on a riverboat in the Mississippi River. He sought to take advantage of evening schools in St. Louis, but was told to leave when it was discovered that he was not white. Anderson was baptized at the First African Baptist Church. Newspapers Anderson was hired out as a slave to distribute the Missouri Republican newspaper. He performed so well that he was taken into the office to work as a press roller, and then a typesetter. Anderson moved to Alton, Illinois with the anti-slavery activist and editor Elijah Parish Lovejoy and worked as his typesetter for the Alton Observer. He was working when Lovejoy was killed in Alton, Illinois in 1837, and was an eyewitness to his murder and the destruction of the printing press. Ministry Anderson was ordained at the Union Baptist Church in Alton. In 1838, Anderson founded the Antioch Baptist Church at his home in Brooklyn, Illinois. Back in St. Louis, he established a white-washing business with Richard Sneethen. Anderson was a minister for the First African Baptist Church in St. Louis until he resigned in June 1846. With 20 others, he founded the Central Baptist Church in August 1846. Rev. Richard Sneethen was the church's first minister. In 1847, Anderson became an associate pastor of the church with Sneethen. When Sneethen accepted a new position at a church in Louisville, Kentucky, Anderson became the second pastor, a position he held from 1849 to 1863. More than half of the congregants were enslaved men and women. To walk the streets and attend church, they needed approval in the form of a pass from their slaveholders. Unable to support himself and his family on the earnings from the church, Anderson worked in the City Jail as an assistant police officer for the rest of his life. In 1852, the edifice for the Central Baptist Church was completed at the cost of $12,000 (). Anderson gave one year's salary to the edifice fund and raised the rest of the money. Each year, he held a revival. By the 1850s, Anderson served more than 1,000 parishioners. Activist Anderson was an anti-slavery activist who provided loans to purchase the freedom of enslaved people, preventing them from being sold into the Deep South to work on cotton plantations. The Central Baptist Church acquired two of its deacons after Anderson bought them from the slave pen in St. Louis. They were Merriman Ramsey and Henry Lee. He helped African Americans file freedom suits in the courts. Anderson regularly carried baskets of food and other necessities for the poor and hungry. Harriet Robinson Scott, a member of the Central Baptist Church, sought his advise for their freedom suit. Anderson was also a spiritual advisor to Harriet and her husband, Dred Scott. After Meecham died in 1854, Anderson ran the Freedom School for African American children. With Galusha Anderson, a white Baptist minister, he lobbied the St. Louis school system for education for black children over a ten-year period. Anderson served on a board of education established to provide schooling for black students. It was the first and only board of its kind in the city. The ten members included three black ministers, two black businessmen, and three whites. A subscription school opened in 1856 that charged one dollar per pupil. By 1864, four public schools were established and there were also four subscription schools that operated out of the basements of black churches. This was accomplished during a period when the prevailing belief among pro-slavery and some anti-slavery factions that African Americans should not be educated. The St. Louis Board of Education petitioned the Legislature to enact laws to provide schools for African American children. A law was enacted in 1866 to provide funding for four or five public schools for $500 (). Personal life Anderson met Nancy Barton in Alton, and was married to her on November 9, 1838, in Madison, Illinois. They had five children: Mandy J., Simon P., May E., Matilda, and Martha Anderson. His son, Simon Peter Anderson was also a pastor of the Central Baptist Church, serving from 1868 to 1880 and 1885–1889. He and Henry Mcghee Alexander had become masons during a trip to Boston and was then a member of the Colored Masons of St. Louis. In the early 1860s, he co-founded the McGhee Lodge (H. McGee Lodge) in St. Louis. It was the first masonic organization established for African Americans west of the Mississippi River. He died of poisoning after a druggist accidentally made medicine for him from the root of a plant, rather than the leaf. He died on May 20, 1863, and was buried in the Bellefontaine Cemetery next to John Berry Meachum. A historical marker at the cemetery memorializes his efforts to provide education for African Americans and in recognition for his efforts as a minister and a community leader.

Mount Matsurai, natively known as Gunung Masurai, is a large complex of inactive stratovolcanoes in Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia. The volcano attains an elevation of above sea level. Geology Mount Masurai is part of the greater Barisan Mountains, which formed due to offshore subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate beneath the Sunda Plate along the Sunda megathrust. The volcanic comples is situated in the Sungai Penuh pull-apart basin; caused by offsets along two segments of the Great Sumatran Fault. In the southern section of the basin, closer to Mount Masurai, the basin becomes wider. Mount Matsurai contains two crater lakes; Kumbang Lake and Merbuk Lake; near the summit cone. The summit cone occupies the western remnant of a half-caldera, 7 km in diameter. The rim of the half-caldera is at an altitude of –. A third lake, Blue Lake, located in the caldera, is thought to be remnants of a parasitic eruption; one of many around the area. Flora Two species of tropical carnivorous pitcher plants; Nepenthes spathulata and Nepenthes singalana notably overlap each other. The plants, which cannot be definitively assigned to either appear intermediate in form between these two species. It was discovered by botanist Charles Clarke, and written in his monograph Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia. Climbing Kumbang Lake is a popular feature of the volcano, often visited by climbers on their way to the summit.

The Armenian National Movement (ANM) () is a political party in Armenia. It is led by Ararat Zurabyan, the former Chairman of the Pan-Armenian National Movement and a former member of the Free Democrats. History The Armenian National Movement (ANM) traces its early history to the Pan-Armenian National Movement. The ANM joined the Armenian National Congress political coalition and endorsed Levon Ter-Petrosyan in the run up to the 2008 Armenian presidential election. The ANM, in addition to several other liberal parties, helped to organize protests ahead of the elections. Following the election, Levon Ter-Petrosyan came in second place, with Serzh Sargsyan being elected as President. Ararat Zurabyan subsequently left the Armenian National Congress coalition and joined the Free Democrats. Following which, the ANM went into a period of inactivity. The Armenian National Movement was re-registered on 14 May 2013, shortly after the dissolution of its predecessor party, the Pan-Armenian National Movement. The Pan-Armenian National Movement dissolved on 23 February 2013, as most members opted to join the Armenian National Congress, which itself had transformed from a political coalition in 2008 to a political party in 2013, with Levon Ter-Petrosyan remaining as its leader. However, several members did not join the Armenian National Congress party. As such, Ararat Zurabyan, Alexander Arzumanyan, Hovhannes Igityan and Karapet Rubinyan announced the re-registration of the Armenian National Movement. Zurabyan also confirmed that he was leaving the Free Democrats, in order to focus on the activities of the ANM. The founding congress of the ANM was held on 26 October 2013, in Yerevan. Several guests from other supportive political parties were in attendance. Most notably, Aram Sargsyan, leader of the Republic Party, who congratulated the Armenian National Movement on its renewed establishment. In March 2014, the party announced it would launch an initiative called the "European Alliance", to unite individuals, public entities and political forces concerned about Armenia's future. Also in March 2014, Zurabyan was invited to speak at a rally organized by Raffi Hovannisian's Heritage party. On 12 March 2015, party members met with former president Serzh Sargsyan to discuss constitutional reforms. The party currently has no representation in the National Assembly and acts as an extra-parliamentary force. Ideology The party describes itself as a liberal democratic party, with a Pro-European outlook. In 2013, when Armenia joined the Eurasian Economic Union, Ararat Zurabyan criticized Armenian authorities for putting Russia's interests first. Zurabyan stated, "Integration into Europe was of paramount importance for Armenia and would have brought about radical changes. Unfortunately, we remained outside the process. But Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia go on and Association Agreements with them are likely to be initialed or signed.” Following the governments decision not to sign an Association Agreement with the EU, Zurabyan further stated, "Until September 3, we were going to Europe, and in one day everything collapsed." Party leadership have also critiqued the Armenian National Congress of being too passive on such issues and has been critical of the Republican Party of Armenia. On 31 March 2014, the party condemned the decision of the Armenian government to vote against a UN vote upholding the terriortorial integrity of Ukraine, claiming that the government had put the interests of Russia before the national interests of Armenia. Following the vote, the party called for Armenia to reevaluate its membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization, and to actively develop closer relations with NATO. In December 2014, Zurabyan stated, "Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union is the beginning of the collapse of Armenia." During an interview in December 2015, Zurabyan stated, "Russia is the country for which this conflict is beneficial, because it is its existence, due to which Russia maintains its influence in the region. Without this conflict, Russia's influence in the region will be very questionable," in reference to the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Electoral record National elections Prior to the 2017 Armenian parliamentary election, Ararat Zurabyan confirmed that the ANM would cooperate with Prosperous Armenia's Tsarukyan Alliance. Some party members participated in the elections under the Tsarukyan Alliance electoral list. Following the election, Ararat Zurabyan renounced his seat in the National Assembly. Local elections The party participated in the 2018 Yerevan City Council elections as part of the "People of Yerevan" electoral alliance. The alliance won just 0.82% of the vote, failing to gain any seats in the Yerevan City Council.

He graduated from Western New England College with a bachelor of arts degree. He later earned a master's of education degree at Westfield State College. Christopher Asselin is married to Merylina S. Asselin. Asselin first ran for public office in 1999, losing a Democratic Party primary to Jack Keough prior to a special election called to replace Dennis M. Murphy on the Massachusetts House of Representatives. Asselin defeated Keogh in a party primary the next year, and succeeded him in office. Asselin won reelection uncontested in 2002. In September 2002, Christopher Asselin's house was raided during a joint investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, and the United States Department of Housing. Christopher Asselin and his father Raymond were indicted on charges relating to the Springfield Housing Authority, which Raymond Asselin had led from the 1970s to May 2003. Multiple members of the Asselin family were charged with stealing a total near $1 million in goods and services from the Springfield Housing Authority. Some of the money contributed to Christopher Asselin's 2002 campaign. The wife of Christopher Asselin's brother Raymond Jr. was credited with aiding the federal investigation. Raymond Jr. had been Christopher's campaign treasurer in 2000, and turned over those responsibilities to their mother Janet in 2002. Janet was charged with falsifying finance reports during the 2002 campaign cycle. Another brother, Joseph, was indicted for mailing several thousand dollars of campaign literature on Christopher's behalf though the insurance company at which Joseph worked, in 2002. Christopher Asselin was charged for using funds to produce and distribute campaign literature, and also made home improvements, as did a number of his relatives. Asselin contested the 2004 Democratic Party primary for his state house district, losing to Sean Curran. Asselin pleaded guilty to the charges in September 2006. After serving an 18-month sentence in prison, Asselin was released in 2008. He ran in the 2010 state legislative elections, and did not unseat Curran. Though the Springfield City Council granted Asselin a permit to establish a used car dealership in April 2013, the Springfield License Commission rejected his request for a license.

Kiraak is a 2014 Indian Telugu-language romantic thriller directed by Harik Devabhaktuni. The film stars newcomer Anirudh and Chandini. The film's title is based off a song from Attarintiki Daredi (2013). The film was a box office failure. Cast Anirudh as Rakesh, a Pawan Kalyan fan Chandini as Amruta, Rakesh's collegemate and a Mahesh Babu fan Posani Krishna Murali as a tantrik Vennela Kishore Release A critic from The Hindu opined that "Director Haarik Devabhaktuni sets out to make a horror film with a message, but it starts off as any romantic movie would before bringing in a few sequences that are supposed to be horror but can best be described as lame, before the plot takes another twist altogether". A critic from 123 Telugu gave a rating of 2 out of 5 and said "Lackluster screenplay, old story line and slow pace are some of the basic letdowns. Except for the decent performance of the lead pair, this film has nothing much to offer". Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India gave a rating of 1.5/5 and said "It is one thing to have so called ‘noble’ intentions to make a film which throws light on a social issue, but that’s no excuse when the filmmaker is clueless about what he’s trying to say in the garb of entertainment. And the film’s script is as terrible as it gets". References

Emanuel König Latinized as Emanuelis König (1 November 1658 – 30 July 1731) was a Swiss physician and naturalist. He became a professor of medicine at the University of Basel and is best known for his three books Regnum animale (1682), Regnum minerals (1686), and Regnum vegetabile (1688). He adopted a Cartesian principle, explaining animal physiology along mechanistic foundations. König was born in Basel where his father was a bookseller. He studied at the University of Basel, receiving a medical degree in 1682. He became a member of the Leopoldina Academy through the efforts of George Wolfgang Wedel of Jena and published many papers. He travelled in Italy and France and returned to become a professor of Greek at Basel in 1695 and a professor of medicine in 1711. He began to examine older texts and compiled his own works on the use of plants, animals and minerals in medical therapy. He was critical of existing theories and countered the contemporary belief that plants got their nourishment from water alone by noting that salt and components from air were also involved. His three books compiled medical views of the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms and their role in treatments. He claimed the efficacy of bones and ivory as cures as also drinking one's own urine.

"We All Fall in Love Sometimes" is the ninth track on Elton John's album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, written by John (music) and Bernie Taupin (lyrics) released in 1975. Song background The song tackles about friendship and being in love with them. This song heavily relies on John's piano as the whole band appears at the bridge of it unlike some other songs of him. It was inspired by his 1970 breakthrough hit, "Your Song". John felt a sincere connection with the lyrics of the song as he told Rolling Stone in 2013 that he was crying while recording this song because he was in love with Bernie, not in a sexual way, but because he was the person that John was looking for his entire life, his little soulmate. "We'd come so far, and we were still very naive", John continued, "He was a person that, more than anything, I loved, and the relationship we had was so odd, because that is the most important relationship of my entire life and it was not tied at the hip", he added. Release On the original pressing of the album, this song and another track called "Curtains", are combined into a one track. However, on the later releases of the album, these two tracks were separated. Aside from being a track on the album, it was released as a single alongside other songs on the album in the Philippines on 1975 and it appeared alongside "Curtains" as B-sides on the 12-inch single of Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding in 1978. These releases helps the song to become a radio hit and a fan favorite. Later release It was included on a compilation of rare Elton John songs called Elton: Jewel Box released in 2020. Live performances John performed this song on his tours regularly since its release until 1976. However, in 1993, 1997 and 2005 tours, he played it again alongside "Curtains" but on selected concerts only. Covers This song was covered by Jeff Buckley. It was also covered by Coldplay for the 2018 tribute album Revamp: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin.

Al Ustadh (Arabic: الأستاذ; The Master) was an Arabic satirical, literary and political journal that was established by Abdullah Al Nadim in Cairo, Egypt, and published for eleven months in the period 1892–1893. History and profile Al Ustadh was launched by Abdullah Al Nadim, an Egyptian writer and political activist, as his third journal in Cairo in 1892. Al Nadim had been living out of Cairo for a decade following the ʻUrabi revolt and started Al Ustadh shortly after his return to the city. He previously established the journals Al Tankit wal Tabkit and Al Taif before his exile. Sabry Hafez argues that of his journals Al Ustadh is the most prominent one in terms of its influence. Al Nadim adopted a rationalist approach when he started Al Ustadh which featured satirical content and drawings, didactic fictional materials and political articles. The fictional materials were written in the colloquial prose like those in Abu Naddara, a magazine by Yaqub Sanu. In the articles published in Al Ustadh Al Nadim frequently referred to his former writings published in his early journal Al Tankit wal Tabkit and focused on the Arabic language as a major element of the national identity of Egyptians.

Heinrich Ehrler (14 September 1917 – 4 April 1945) was a German Luftwaffe military aviator and wing commander during World War II. As a fighter ace, he is credited with 208 enemy aircraft shot down in over 400 combat missions.

List of aerial victories claimed According to Spick, Ehrler was credited with 209 aerial victories claimed in an unknown number of combat missions. Of these, ten were claimed over the Western Allies and the remaining 199 on the Eastern Front. Obermaier lists him with 208 aerial victories claimed in over 400 combat missions. Matthews and Foreman, authors of Luftwaffe Aces – Biographies and Victory Claims, researched the German Federal Archives and state that Ehrler was credited with more than 182 aerial victories. This figure includes at least 173 claims made on the Eastern Front and 9 on the Western Front, including seven four-engined bombers and eight victories with the Me 262 jet fighter.
