William Charles Winterton (2 June 1822 — 8 December 1898) was an English first-class cricketer. Winterton was born at the Leicestershire village of Thurmaston in June 1822. He was an important figure in Cambridge cricket, making his debut in first-class cricket for the Cambridge Town Club against Cambridge University as 17–year old in 1839 at Parker's Piece. Winterton played first-class cricket over a period of 22 years, making 18 appearances. His opportunities in the Cambridge side had become lessened by the emergence of Daniel Hayward in the early 1850s. Playing as a wicket-keeper, he was described in James Pycroft's 1854 edition of The Cricket Field as a cricketer who "carries great weight with him at the wicket". In 18 first-class matches, Winterton scored 170 runs at an average of 7.39, with a highest score of 27. As a wicket-keeper he also made three stumpings. Winterton was also a useful right-arm roundarm fast bowler, taking 4 wickets in first-class cricket. He died in Leicestershire at Rothley in December 1898.

Skin is an album by the American musician Peter Himmelman, released in 1994. It is a concept album about a man named Ted who dies and is spiritually reborn; Himmelman chose to think of it as a song cycle. Himmelman supported the album by playing it on tour from beginning to end, before moving on to his older songs. The first single was "With You". Production The album was produced by Himmelman and Jeff Victor. Himmelman was backed by his touring band, with the addition of J'anna Jacoby on violin. Its lyrics were inspired in part by Himmelman's Judaism. 550 Music had urged Himmelman not to make a concept album. Critical reception The Washington Post deemed the album "a legitimate rock opera." The New York Times wrote that it "moves from hymns to guitar-strumming waltzes to up-tempo, neo-1960's rock." The Knoxville News Sentinel called Skin "trite," writing that the album "lacks the character motivation and simple details that should move the story along, which is particularly damning considering Himmelman seems to have sleighted the music on behalf of the lyrics." The Chicago Tribune praised the "solid pop-rock-folk tunesmithy" of Himmelman. The Daily Press stated: "Filled with memorable songs, such as the gripping rockers 'Easy to Be Broken' and '11 Months in the Bath of Dirty Spirits', the stark ballad 'Nowhere Else to Go' and the elegant record-ending track 'Been Set Free', Skin is both musically and lyrically ambitious." Newsday labeled it "a ponderously flimsy concept work about corruption, death, rebirth and redemption in which the alternation of loud theatricality and quiet keyboard-violin delicacy sounded like a baseball game between Pink Floyd and Meat Loaf." AllMusic wrote that "the occasional heavy-handedness and meandering subplots hardly mar this impressive work." Track listing References 1994 albums 550 Music albums
Rapid City Fruit Company is a historic building at 320 7th Street in Rapid City, South Dakota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. History Constructed in 1920 by C. A. Nesbit, the Rapid City Fruit Company building was used as a distribution center for produce passing through Rapid City. Nesbit, a rancher in nearby Fairburn, sold his ranch to focus on the fruit business. Both Nesbit and Gray had also previously been grocers. Located in the warehouse district near the railroad, the company's building was a major regional produce distribution hub. Even after the fruit company disbanded—the date of which is unknown due to lack of records, but is estimated to be 1935—the building itself was still used as a warehouse for several decades. From 1936 to 1960, it was a warehouse for a local tobacco company. Between 1962 and 1982, it served as a warehouse for the Barber Company and Black Hills Warehouse Inc.; for ten years after that, it housed wholesale businesses. Today, it is still used as a commercial building. On December 9, 1993, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its importance to the economic history of Rapid City, and for its well-preserved commercial architecture. Architecture The Rapid City Fruit Company building is a one-story rectangular building at the corner of 7th and Apolda Streets and faces south. It measures and includes a basement that was used as cold storage. The Portland cement bricks used to construct it were provided by a partnership between Rapid City Brick and Tile Company and Garland Construction. The main entrance is elevated above street level and accessed by two staircases. Two brick columns on the west face divide that side into three bays, which were originally used as docking areas and now separate the businesses that occupy the building. Above each bay is a green lintel decorated with rosette-shaped tie coverings. Windows are simple rectangular openings. Original plans left space for a second story to be added, but this was never carried out. Brickwork is also present inside, in the form of brick cornices along the western wall and crowning a central elevator shaft. This Otis Elevator was used to move produce between the lower cold storage and upper loading floors. When in use, the basement was filled with ice and insulated by sawdust. Upon its otherwise flat roof sits a cupola that houses the elevator mechanism. A lean-to was added to the eastern side of the building in the mid-19th century but had been removed by 1986.

On April 19 and 20, a tornado outbreak happened over the Southeastern United States. In the 16:30 SPC update on April 19, a moderate risk for tornadoes was issued. This moderate risk included over 5 million people and included parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. Later on that day, the outbreak produced an violent EF4 tornado across parts of Mississippi. This EF4 tornado lasted for over an hour, moved for , was wide and had winds of . This EF4 tornado caused one fatality, and became the fifth EF4 tornado of the year. The other death was caused by an EF2 tornado. Confirmed tornadoes April 19 event April 20 event Tylertown-New Augusta, Mississippi A large, violent tornado produced significant damage across several counties, passing near or through the rural communities of Hurricane Creek, Sandy Hook, and Pine Burr. In southwestern Marion County, the tornado reached EF3 intensity, partially debarking trees and obliterating a mobile home. A small area of low-end EF4 damage occurred nearby as an anchor-bolted home was completely leveled, leaving behind a mostly bare foundation slab and bent anchor bolts. A higher rating was not assigned because a considerable amount of debris remained piled on a portion of the home's foundation. Many other homes throughout this segment of the path sustained varying degrees of roof and structural damage, and a few sustained roof and exterior wall loss. Several mobile homes, barns, and sheds were heavily damaged or destroyed as well. The tornado maintained EF2 strength across Marion County, with a church and the nearby pastor's home sustaining major roof damage. Behind this house, a shed was blown a few feet off its foundation and destroyed. Several headstones in a cemetery were knocked over in this area, a metal fire department building was destroyed, and the one fatality occurred in a nearby mobile home. The tornado continued producing EF0 and EF1 damage along the remainder of the path, passing just north of Purvis and continuing to the southeast of Hattiesburg. The tornado impacted the northwestern part of Camp Shelby in Forrest County, damaging 72 structures, most of which was minor to moderate roof damage from wind or fallen trees. A camping area on the north side of Glenn Walker Lake was impacted, and one person was injured by a tree falling on a truck. The tornado continued producing minor damage into Perry County before dissipating. Numerous wooden power poles were snapped, and thousands of trees were snapped or uprooted along the path, including some that were partially debarked. The tornado became the third violent tornado within the area in just a week, as in the 2020 Easter tornado outbreak, two EF4 tornadoes struck near Bassfield, Mississippi. This also meant that 2020 had the most EF4s since 2014. Non-tornadic impacts A south Georgia, a man is killed when lightning struck his home and caused a fire.

HMS Granado was launched at Harwich in 1742, during the War of the Austrian Succession as a sloop-of-war. During this war she captured a french privateer. During the Seven Year's War she served both as a sloop and as a bomb vessel, and participated in naval operations off the coast of France and in the West Indies. When the Navy sold her in 1763 she became the mercantile Prince Frederick. Around 1775 she became the northern fisheries whaler Prudence. Around 1781 she became a government transport and was wrecked on 20 May 1782 on the coast of India. Royal Navy Lieutenant Thomas Elliot commissioned Granado in July 1742 as a sloop for the Channel and North Sea. Commander Arthur Upton replaced Elliot in November. In January 1743 Commander William Parry replaced Elliot. She then served with Admiral John Norris's fleet in the Channel. Between April and May 1744 she escorted a convoy to Lisbon. In November she was under the command of Commander William Thomas. Between May and September 1745 Granado was at Woolwich being fitted as a sloop. On 21 January 1746 Granado was under the command of Commander John Evans when she captured the French privateer Marianne, off Scarborough. Marianne was armed with 10 carriage guns and six swivel guns, and carried 80 men. Marianne struck after an engagement of an hour, during which she had eight men killed and 15 wounded. Granado had no casualties, but her sails and rigging were much damaged. Marianne had come from Calais and when captured had three ransomers on board. Grenado took Marianne into the Humber. Between July and December 1746 Granado was at Sheerness, undergoing fitting. In August 1747 Commander Cornelius Smelt replaced Evans. Granado was surveyed on 10 December 1748. A small repair at Woolwich followed in July-August 1749; she was then laid up. Between February and May 1755 Granado was again fitted as a sloop. In April Commander Matthew Moore recommissioned her. After the outbreak of the Seven Year's War, between August and September 1756, Granado was at Woolwich, being fitted as a bomb vessel. In August she was under the command of Commander John Fortescue. He sailed her for North America on 7 June 1757. Later in 1757 she was under the command of Lieutenant Robert Hathorn (acting). In January 1858 she was under the command of Commander Samuel Uvedale (or James Mordale?). Later in 1758 she was at Saint-Malo, Cherbourg, and the Bay of St Cass. The British had invaded France in August and captured Cherbourg, from which they withdrew with captured war material and a ransom of £5000. In September elements of the British Army landed on the coast of Britany, near Saint-Malo. The troops marched inland, before withdrawing to the Bay of St Cass. There, during the Battle of Saint Cast, the British rear-guard sustained significant losses in casualties and prisoners at the hands of the Irish Brigade, among other French forces, despite covering fire from the frigates and bomb vessels. Granado was among the many vessels of the naval squadron that shared in the proceeds of the capture on 18 August 1758 of the French privateer Guirland. Granado sailed for the Leeward Islands on 12 November 1758, and arrived in time for the unsuccessful invasion of Martinique (1759), on 19 January 1759. The British force then sailed on to Guadeloupe. Between 22 January 1759 and 1 May, Granado participated in the invasion of Guadeloupe (1759). After her return to England, Granado Commander John Botterell commissioned her in February 1760, for the Channel, though in April she underwent fitting at Portsmouth as a sloop. She was of Le Havre later that year. Between July and September 1761 she was at Portsmouth undergoing fitting as a bomb vessel. She sailed for the Leeward Islands on 30 October 1761. Commander James Hawker recommissioned Granado as a bomb vessel in February 1762 being replaced in March by Commander Stair Douglas. Between 7 January 1762 and 10 February, she participated in the Invasion of Martinique (1762). In March she returned to Jamaica, from whence the invasion force had sailed. In July 1762 Granado was under the command of Commander Thomas Fraser. Next, between 6 June and 13 August 1762 she participated in the siege of Havana. The first of five payments of prize money for Havana occurred on 9 April 1764. The fifth and final payment occurred in 1772. Disposal: Granado was paid off in June 1763. She was surveyed on 6 July. The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" first offered Granado for sale at Woolwich on 23 August. She sold on 30 August at Portsmouth for £575. Merchantman Nesbit & Co. purchased Granada and renamed her Prince Frederick. Prince Frederick first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR), in 1764. On 21 August 1766 Prince Frederick sailed as a store ship accompanying and on the first leg of their exploration expedition to the Pacific. The expedition left Madeira on 21 October and reached Cape Virgenes on 16 December. There they recorded the height of the native Patagonians. Prince Frederick, which had been sailing in company with the expedition, left to go to Port Egmont, in the Falkland Islands, having provided further supplies for the other two ships. Prince Frederick, Hanan, master, arrived back at the Downs on 18 May 1767, from South America. In 1768–1769 Prince Frederick, Hannan, master, traded with Mogador and Grenada. On 4 December 1789, she put into Plymouth. She was coming from Jamaica but with weak winds and being short of water and provisions, Hannan chose to break the journey to London. She arrived at Gravesend on 20 December. The last mention of Prince Frederick, Hannan, master, in Lloyd's Lists ship arrival and departure data occurred in June 1772 when she returned to London from another voyage to Mogador and Grenada. Whaler There are no online copies of Lloyd's Register for the volumes 1769 to 1775; Prince Frederick reappeared in the volume for 1776, having changed her name. New owners in 1775 apparently renamed Prince Frederick Prudence, and employed her as a whaler in the British northern whale fishery. In 1777 Prudence, Simpson, master, sailed to New York rather than engaging in whaling. In 1778 she returned to whaling. Transport Prudences owners withdrew her from whaling and chartered her to the British government as a transport. Fate Lloyd's List reported on 8 July 1783 that the transports Prudence and Union had been lost near Tellicherry. The entry for Prudence in the volume for LR for 1783 bears the annotation "Lost". The wrecking occurred on 20 May 1782. Prudence and Union were serving as ordnance store ships when a storm drove them from Calicut roads. They were unable to clear Cotta Point and wrecked on the reefs there.

The Kobo massacre was an extrajudicial killing event perpetrated by the Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) in Kobo district and Kobo town in North Wollo Zone of the Amhara Region of Ethiopia during the Tigray War, on 9 September 2021. Background Massacre Residents told VOA News that the TDF killed 600 civilians in Kobo in the Amhara Region. According to locals, TDF fighters entered villages in Kobo district on 9 September searching for weapons, but the farmers repelled the soldiers from the villages. As TDF fighters withdrew from the villages to Kobo town, they attacked men and teenage boys who were working their fields in retaliation. The vast majority of the massacre's victims were male. Human Rights Watch (HRW) spoke to residents of Kobo town who witnessed 23 civilians summarily executed by the TDF in that town on 9 September in retaliation for attacks by farmers earlier that day. A report by Al Jazeera described it as "the most extensive yet of one of the deadliest known killings of Amhara in the war." Amnesty International published a report in which witnesses described retaliatory summary executions of over two dozen men and one woman in the town of Kobo. Spatiotemporal satellite imagery analysis corroborated witness testimony that new graves were dug at two church compounds in the town to bury those summarily executed. The TDF has denied committing atrocities.

In 2019, he left Sommer to open his own law firm, Guminski Law, P.C., and his own sports agency, PRO ZONE: The Agency, both of which he currently operates in Pittsburgh. PRO ZONE: The Agency (Sports Agency) In 2016, Guminski became an NFLPA Certified Contact Advisor. Earlier that year, he also became a CFL Players Association (CFLPA) Certified Contract Advisor. [CFLPA] To date, he has represented and serviced more than 30 NFL, CFL, and NCAA athletes on matters related to their playing, marketing, and post-playing career. In 2019, he founded his own sports agency, PRO ZONE: The Agency, which is based in Pittsburgh, that he operates as the agency's president. According to the NFLPA, his services as an agent and contract advisor include contract negotiation; endorsements; marketing; public relations; post-career counseling; and referrals for financial services and tax advice. Key additional PRO ZONE personnel include Director of Player Personnel and Community Affairs, Chad Gaffney, and Director of Player Development and Post-Career Strategy, Nolan Carroll II. Carroll, a retired 8-year NFL cornerback, was one of Guminski's first professional football clients. Guminski first garnered media attention in April 2020, as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cancellation of “pro days” across the United States for NFL and CFL draft prospects. Among these cancellations was that of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers football program, in which one of Guminski's clients and Panthers wide receiver, Aaron Mathews, had been set to participate. In an effort to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic and to showcase Mathews’ talent, and the talent of several of Guminski's other clients, as well as numerous other local draft prospects, to professional teams, Guminski organized and contributed to the facilitation of an unofficial pro day for these athletes at the 424 Factory and a local practice field in Pittsburgh. The pro day, which implemented health and safety protocols and separated athletes into small socially distanced groups, was video recorded and the tape of which then disseminated to the agents of participating athletes and all professional teams. The pro day was successfully executed, both in its ability to provide a showcase platform for its participants and its ability to prevent the contraction of COVID-19 among any of its participants or facilitators. Following the pro day, Guminski appeared on KDKA-FM 93.7 The Fan's The Hotline radio show, hosted by Paul Zeise, to discuss the pro day's organization and execution, as well as the broader effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the NFL's operations, 2020 off-season and season schedule, draft prospects, and veteran players, as well as the operations of NFL and CFL agents. In January 2022, on the eve of the free agent period set to begin in the CFL, Guminski finalized the negotiation of a two-year contract extension on behalf of his client and former Chicago Bears running back, Ka’Deem Carey, with the Calgary Stampeders for the 2022 and 2023 CFL seasons. The contract became the subject of significant media attention as it signified the highest base salary, the highest average annual value, and the highest total contract value for an American running back in the CFL in over 15 years since Ricky Williams signed a one-year, $340,000 deal with the Toronto Argonauts in 2006. Prior to signing the extension on January 31, 2022, Carey, who was set to become a free agent on February 8, was considered a top-25 CFL free agent, and the #1 free agent running back, after rushing for the most touchdowns, and logging the second-most carries, the second-most rushing yards, and the third-most yards per carry among qualified running backs in the league in 2021. Guminski has assisted his collegiate clients in navigating the NCAA's recently changed NIL rules to facilitate personal branding and charitable initiatives, such as the organization and execution of Buffalo Bulls running back Dylan McDuffie’s December 2021 Holiday Toy Drive in collaboration with the Boys & Girls Club of Buffalo. He has also supported his professional clients’ charitable initiatives, including Seattle Seahawk Niles Scott’s Annual Youth Football Camp at Elkton High School in Elkton, Maryland. Notable clients Professional football clients of Guminski and PRO ZONE include: David Amerson – NFL free agent cornerback. Ka’Deem Carey – CFL running back, Calgary Stampeders.

Glaucium calycinum is a species of flowering plant in the horned poppy genus which is endemic to Iran. Description Glaucium calycinum is a biennial flowering plant ranging from in height with a life cycle of roughly two years. It has branches, usually hairless, on its stems, though the lower parts of the stem may have a few sparse hairs. Its buds are long with sepals that might have hairs; these flower into petals long, the ends of which are yellow, transitioning to orange at the center. There are many stamens whose anthers are long, with filaments that are wider in the middle but narrow towards the end and the base. The seed pods are of the silique type and may or may not have hairs; if they do then these are scale-shaped while the plant is immature. Once the plant has matured these seed pods can grow up to long. When the plant is fruiting, its pedicels grow up to long and stand upright or slightly bent. Similar species Glaucium yazdianum has similar petal color and leaf shape to G. calycinum. However, their cellular structures, shape of trichomes on the siliquae, and bud length differ in several ways. Taxonomy The species has two accepted subspecies: G. calycinum subsp. calycinum G. calycinum subsp. aserbaidshanicum Mory Distribution and habitat Glaucium calycinum is only found in Iran, making it endemic to the country.

The Buttercross, also known as Brigg Town Hall, is a municipal building in the Market Place in Brigg, Lincolnshire, England. The structure, which is used as a tourist information centre and as an events venue, is a Grade II listed building. History The building was commissioned by two local land owners, Robert Cary Elwes of Great Billing Hall and Sir Henry Nelthorpe of Scawby Hall. It was financed by public subscription with contributions from solicitors, surgeons and businessmen. The site they selected was at the corner of Wrawby Street and Bigby Street and construction work started there in 1817. The building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in buff brick at a cost of circa £1,000 and was officially opened with a celebratory ball on 28 June 1819. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three canted bays facing onto the east side of the Market Place; the building was originally arcaded, so that butter and poultry markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. The first floor was fenestrated on the first floor by square headed windows with keystones. There were stucco bands above each floor and, above the upper band, there were blank panels in each bay. At roof level, there was a parapet and a wooden clock turret with a weather vane. The building extended back for five bays along each of the two streets. Internally, the principal room was the assembly room on the first floor which was used as a function room for civic meetings and dances. In the 1870s, the civic leaders decided to enclose the ground floor: on the front elevation, a round headed doorway flanked by pilasters supporting a modillioned pediment was inserted in the opening in the central bay and round headed windows were inserted in the openings in the outer bays. On the Wrawby Street elevation, the opening in the first bay of the left was replaced by a doorway with a fanlight, which was flanked by fluted Doric order columns supporting an entablature, while the opening in the second bay on the left was replaced by a bay window. The function room on the first floor accommodated a Catholic primary school at that time. Following a significant increase in population, mainly associated with the status of Brigg as a market town, the area became an urban district in 1894. The building was acquired by the new urban district council in the early 20th century, and apart from the Second World War when the building was requisitioned for military use, it continued to serve as the local seat of government until 1969, when the council moved to the new civic centre in Cary Lane. The building was subsequently occupied by the Brigg Operatic Society and then by the Trustee Savings Bank; it was comprehensively refurbished by Glanford Borough Council between 1989 and 1990 before being re-opened by the Princess of Wales as a tourist information centre in February 1991. Further improvements included the provision of digital displays in the tourist information centre so that visitors could be made aware of future local events. The bell from the clock tower was restored by the local Rotary Club with financial support from the National Lottery Community Fund and placed on a specially-designed plinth in front of the building in 2005. A programme of refurbishment works, which involved replacement of the timbers, external repainting and repairs to the weather vane, was carried out in September 2018. The works also included restoration work to the clock dials which was carried by Smith of Derby Group.

Carlos Pablo Ripamonte (Buenos Aires, May 4, 1874 – Villa Ballester, August 14, 1968) was an Argentine painter. Early life and artistic formation Carlos Ripamonte was born in Buenos Aires to Mateo Ripamonte, an Italian immigrant, and Mercedes Toledo, an Argentine from Córdoba. Ripamonte began his artistic studies under portraitist Juan Bautista Curet Cenet, later attending the studio of Italian painter Miguel Carmine. Afterward, at the urging of his mentor he entered the Society for the Stimulus of Fine Arts (a precursor of the National Association of Fine Arts), where his artistic guides included Reynaldo Giudici, Ángel Della Valle y Ernesto de la Cárcova. He taught Drawing there from 1897 to 1899, when the national government awarded him a grant to study in Italy. In Rome he opened a studio and learned from the master Giulio Aristide Sartorio. Sartorio, said Ripamonte, "was my true maestro." A painting he submitted to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair was awarded a medal. Return to Argentina Returning to Argentina in 1905, Ripamonte undertook the position of Secretary of the Society for the Stimulus of Fine Arts, where he also taught as a professor. Soon thereafter, in league with other emerging Argentine artists — Pío Collivadino, Cesáreo Bernaldo de Quirós, Fernando Fader, Ceferino Carnacini, Justo Lynch, Alberto María Rossi, and sculptors Rogelio Yrurtia and Antonio Dresco — several of whom had been in Rome with him at the same time, Ripamonte formed the Nexus Group, an artistic collective dedicated to developing Argentine national themes in a post-Impressionst idiom. When Nexus held its first exposition, which opened on September 23, 1907, the critical reviews were highly positive but, as Ripamonte later recalled, almost no works were sold. In the same year, de la Cárcova left his post as vice-director of the National Academy of Fine Arts and Ripamonte succeeded him; he would continue to hold the position until 1928. In 1910, the International Centennial Exposition was held in Argentina, and a great number of artworks were shown. Among the 235 works by Argentine artists, those of the Nexus Group occupied a distinguished place; Ripamonte was awarded first prize in the Costumbrismo category for his oil on canvas entitled Canciones del Pago. From 1911, Ripamonte submitted work to the National Salon and other official shows in Argentina. He had solo and group shows at galleries such as Galería Witcomb, Müller, Salón Mar del Plata, and Salón Santa Fe. Together with Francisco Pascasio Moreno and other notable figures, Ripamonte founded the Asociación de Boy Scouts Argentinos on July 4, 1912. Ripamonte authored numerous articles and other works on art, including the books Janus: Consideraciones y Reflexiones Artísticas (1926) and Vida: Causas y Efectos de la Evolución Artística (1930). Later years In addition to maintaining his artistic output, Ripamonte continued teaching and held numerous official positions, such as that of president of the Society for the Stimulus of Fine Arts and member of the National Commission on Fine Arts. He was director of the Ernesto de La Cárcova Higher School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires from 1928 until 1931, and continued to teach until his retirement in 1942. For much of his later life Ripamonte lived in Villa Ballester, a northern suburb of Buenos Aires, counting among his neighbors his student and colleague Ceferino Carnacini. His home and studio remain standing and are occupied by his descendants. Ripamonte's works number among the collections of national and provincial museums as well as notable private collectors. Retrospectives and homages to Ripamonte have been held at the Carnacini House Museum in Villa Ballester in 2008, and at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires in 2018.

The LAV II is the second generation of the Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) family. It is a license-produced version of the Mowag Piranha II originally produced by General Motors Diesel, later General Dynamics Land Systems Canada. The LAV II is an 8x8 vehicle unlike the 6x6 Armoured Vehicle General Purpose, which is a LAV based on the Piranha I. The United States Marine Corps was the first user of the LAV II, which it calls the LAV-25. Canada procured two main variants: the Coyote Reconnaissance Vehicle and the Bison armoured utility vehicle. LAV IIs in Australia are known as the ASLAV. The LAV II was succeeded by the LAV III, based on the Piranha III. LAV-25 During the 1980s, the U.S. Marine Corps began looking for a light armored vehicle to give their divisions greater mobility. They chose the Light Armored Vehicle design from General Motors Diesel, a license-produced version of the Mowag Piranha II. The LAV-25 was partially based on the 6x6 Armoured Vehicle General Purpose (LAV I) of the Canadian Army that was also produced by General Motors Diesel. It entered service with the Marines in 1983. The U.S. Army was interested in these vehicles at the time but did not order any (however they did later adopt similar vehicles with the introduction of the Stryker family). The Army did, however, borrow at least a dozen LAV-25s for use by the 82nd Airborne Division, 3-73rd Armor for a scout platoon during the Gulf War. These LAV-25s were returned to the Marine Corps after the conflict. The USMC ordered 758 vehicles of all variants. LAVs first saw combat during the Invasion of Panama in 1989 and continued service in the Gulf War, Iraq War, and the War in Afghanistan. A USMC light-armored reconnaissance battalion includes 56 LAV-25s, 16 LAV-ATs, 12 LAV-Ls, 8 LAV-Ms, 4 LAV-Rs, 4 LAV-C2s, and an unknown number of LAV-MEWSS vehicles. Bison The Bison is an armoured vehicle based on the 8x8 LAV-25 platform and was originally designed as an armoured personnel carrier. Entering service in 1990, it was used mainly as an armoured utility vehicle having a number of different sub-variants throughout its years of service. Design By starting with a basic LAV-25, the Bison design process took only seven days. The Bison differs from the baseline LAV-25 by raising the height of the roof, removing the turret ring, placing a commander's cupola behind the driver, and incorporating a rail mount system in the cargo/passenger compartment to quickly change mission specific equipment. The driver is seated in the front-left of the crew compartment. The commander has a slightly raised position directly behind the driver with access to his own hatch and mounted machine gun. The engine is to the right of the crew compartment. The Canadian Forces began upgrading the Bison between 2002 and 2008. The upgrades include improved engine power, new torsion bars, fittings for add-on armour, air conditioning, and the VRS respirator system for NBC defence. Sub-variants The Bison's rail mount system allows it to be adapted to a variety of roles without any major modifications. Bisons used by the Canadian Forces have been adapted for use as armoured personnel carriers (original configuration - mostly replaced in this role by the LAV III), 81mm mortar carriers, ambulances (32), Mobile Repair Team (MRT) vehicles (32), Armoured recovery vehicles (32), electronic warfare vehicles (25), and NBC reconnaissance vehicles (4). Current operators Australian Army - 97 (See ASLAV Type II) Canadian Army - 199 (being phased out and replaced by LAV VI variants) US National Guard - 12 Coyote Reconnaissance Vehicle The Coyote has been in Canadian service from 1996 and was acquired for use in the light reconnaissance (scout) role, although was also initially used as an armoured fighting vehicle in the role of medium tank trainer within armoured squadrons in the same way as the Armoured Vehicle General Purpose (AVGP) it replaced. In service since 1996, the Coyote is a later generation of the LAV-25 and is of the same family and similar generation as the Bison APC and the Australian ASLAV. Armament The Coyote mounts a 25×137mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun and two 7.62×51mm NATO C6 general purpose machine guns. One of the machine guns is mounted coaxial to the main gun while the other is pintle-mounted in front of the crew commander's hatch. The main gun is equipped with dual ammunition feeds that allow for separate weapons effects, selectable by the gunner/crew commander; the standard load is a belt of armour-piercing sabot rounds and a belt of HE-T explosive/fragmentation rounds. The main gun and coax machine gun are 2-axis stabilized. The turret is equipped with a laser rangefinder, but no ballistic computer; elevation and lead corrections are applied manually by the gunner using multi-stadia reticules in the day, thermal, and image intensification sights. The turret is also equipped with grenade dischargers that can be loaded with smoke and fragmentation grenades. Mobility The Coyote is powered by a Detroit Diesel 6V53T engine developing , and can reach speeds of (on road). The Coyote has a maximum road range of . It uses a larger wheel than initially used on the Bison and AVGP (these vehicles were later retrofitted with this wheel). Compared to the later LAV-III family of vehicles, the Coyote is smaller, uses smaller wheels and tires, has a "sharp" rather than "rounded" nose profile, and has a smaller, oval driver's hatch. Like the LAV-III, the Coyote can be fitted with additional ceramic bolt-on armour panels for increased protection. The Coyote can be transported on a Hercules C-130 plane but the turret needs first to be removed. Sub-variants Coyotes come in three variants: Command, Mast, and Remote. The Mast and Remote variants have a sophisticated suite of electronic surveillance equipment including radar, video, and infrared surveillance night vision devices. The mast variant has this equipment mounted on a 10-metre telescoping mast that can be extended to raise the surveillance suite out from behind cover. The remote variant of the Coyote has its surveillance suite mounted on two short tripods, which crew can deploy remotely using a 200-metre spool of cable. When first purchased, the Coyote was designated for service with both the Regular Force and Reserve Force, with the Mast variants earmarked for the Regular units and the Remotes designated for the Reserves. Shortly after taking delivery of the vehicles, but before they were assigned to the Reserve units, all Coyotes were reassigned to the Regular Force. Service history Since the introduction of the Coyote to the Canadian Armed Forces, the vehicle has served national interest domestically and abroad. The Coyote served during the United Nations/ NATO missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Kosovo, and in Afghanistan. Domestically, it has been deployed during "Operation Grizzly" to Kananaskis to secure the 28th G8 summit, the 36th G8 summit, and the G-20 Toronto summit, in addition to a number of domestic emergency response incidents. The Coyote is currently being retired and is being replaced by a mix of Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicles and LAV 6 armoured vehicles.

It was a quiz game that tested users’ knowledge on bands such as U2, Metallica, Beyonce, and the Beatles. The quiz contained twenty megabytes of audible trivia questions. The free game was compatible with 3rd, 4th and 5th generation iPods, iPod mini and nano. In March 2006, Coolgorilla released “Movie Quiz for iPods” with a price of $5. It was an audio game narrated by New York's DJ Thomas, a radio and television host, voice over artist and event Master of Ceremonies. There were questions on Star Wars, Spiderman, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, The Matrix, James Bond, and others. The user could keep track of their score. The game included a secret code for players who answered all questions correctly which enabled users to enter their name on the Coolgorilla Hall of Fame. In May 2006, Coolgorilla launched a World Cup Encyclopedia which was released prior to the 2006 FIFA World Cup. It had information on the World Cup schedule, details of every player from every team, every score from every world cup game ever played, stadium details, and manager profiles.It was a free download.

The branding was lastminute.com branding. Apple's iPhone was released at the end of June in 2007. Soon after, Coolgorilla released an online all-in-one version of their Talking Phrasebooks for iPhone (Web App). The Phrasebooks were made available online in the form of a web app as iPhone did not yet allow for the download of additional apps. The app provided both text and audio translations in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, and Greek. The iPhone translated the phrases using the recordings of real, native voice-over artists. A text translation on screen was also displayed. Apple's App Store opened in July 2008 with approximately 500 native apps available. Four of these Apps were Coolgorilla's Talking Phrasebooks for iPhone (Native Apps). There was French, German, Italian, and Spanish. These Apps carried lastminute.com branding and were available for free download. In the first three weeks following their release, the phrasebooks had over 350,000 downloads. Subsequently, Dutch, Arabic, Mandarin and Cantonese were also released. In October 2008, Coolgorilla released an iPhone London Travel Guide. Coolgorilla featured on NBC News in August 2009. In 2010, FIAT used the Italian Phrasebook to help promote the release of their FIAT 500 in the USA. There's been no further activity since.

Pauline Fréchette (after marriage, Fréchette-Handfield; religious name, Soeur Marie-Pauline; 16 October 1889 – 5 January 1943) was a Canadian poet, dramatist, journalist, and lecturer. After marriage and a divorce in Canada, she removed to France and became a Catholic religious sister. She died in 1943. Early life and education Marie-Emma-Pauline-Adine ("Pauline") Frechette was born in Montreal, Canada on 16 October 1889. She was the youngest daughter of Louis-Honoré Fréchette and Marie-Emma (Beaudry) Fréchette (died 1922). Her siblings from this marriage included, Jean-Baptiste-Louis-Joseph Fréchette, Marie-Jeanne-Emma Fréchette, Marie-Desiree-Louise-Alexandrine Fréchette, and Charles-Auguste-Jean-Louis Fréchette. Her studies were pursued at Villa Maria Convent, C.N.D., whence she graduated in 1908. Career In addition to the volume of verse, Tu m'as donné le plus doux rêve, with preface by Hon. Gonzalve Desaulniers, she was author of a work in prose entitled L’Art d'être une bonne Mère, which was highly praised in medical circles and was honored by a long study from Leon Berthaut, of Paris. Many of Fréchette's poems were set to music in Montreal and in Paris. She was fond of travel and gave the press racy descriptions of her journeys. She was frequently called upon to give public readings from her poems. She resided at Ville de Léry, Chateauguay County, Quebec, near Montreal. Fréchette published a collection of her father's works under the title of Centmorceaux choisis de Louis Fréchette, with a preface by Senator L. O. David. The Duke of Bauffremont, who specialized in French-Canadian literature, said of this poetess:— "She does not lack of inspiration and originality. These verses are from a poet, a real poet. Poetry does not consist in putting rhymes in line and in using rare words: poetry is the way of feeling and thinking and in the way of seeing things--qualities that Mrs. Fréchette possesses in a supreme degree." Henri d'Arles wrote an extensive criticism to her volume of verses. In Nos Poetes, of Paris, he stated:— "One finds in Mrs. Fréchette's works the sincerity of inspiration and the sensibility which are so fascinating in Louis Fréchette's poetry. It is like a charming inheritance which the author of 'Tu m'as donné le plus doux rêve' has put in value." Personal life On 22 September 1910, in Montreal, she married Dr. Joseph Azarie Handfield (1873–1935), a physician of Montreal. In 1926, he petitioned for a dissolution of marriage. Pauline Fréchette, now Soeur (Sister) Marie-Pauline, died at the l'Institut de Jésus Crucifié, in Launay, France, 5 January 1943.

John Oswald Prestwich (June 26, 1914 – January 25, 2003), nicknamed "JOP", was a medieval historian and fellow of Queen's College, Oxford. During the Second World War, he worked as a code breaker at Bletchley Park. Life Prestwich was born in Leigh, Lancashire, and educated at the Sedbergh School in Cumbria and at Hertford College, Oxford. He received a prize fellowship at Magdalen College, Oxford, and in 1937 was named a Fellow at Queen's. In 1938, he married Menna Roberts, who was a historian of the 16th and 17th centuries and Fellow of St Hilda's College, Oxford. She died in 1990. Prestwich retired in 1981 to Old Headington and died in 2003. He was survived by his son, Michael Prestwich, who is also a medieval historian. Scholarship Prestwich's work focused on England in the 11th and 12th centuries. Although his small scholarly output is often noted, he had "towering influence" on the field and was "one of the most influential medievalists in Britain in the second half of the twentieth century", despite not founding a "Prestwich school of history". In 1982–83, he gave the Ford Lectures at Oxford on "The Place of War in English History, 1066–1214". A book based on the lectures was edited by his son and published posthumously. The book also included an appendix containing a "spirited and effective demolition of feudalism as a useful or accurate description of anything that might have existed in the two centuries after the conquest". Bletchley Park Like other academics, Prestwich worked at Bletchley Park as a code breaker from 1941 to 1944, taking advantage of his fluency in German. He recalled later: Alamein was marvellous because you had these desperate messages from Rommel saying 'Panzer Army is exhausted, we've enough petrol for 50 kilometres, ammunition is contemptible' and so on.

Boba liberal is a term mostly used within the Asian diaspora communities in the West, especially in the United States. It describes someone of East or Southeast Asian descent living in the West who has an apparent liberal or centrist outlook. The neologism emerged as "boba liberals" were accused of only holding these beliefs to appear more white adjacent, by engaging in progressive social movements or viewpoints while at the same time disregarding and trivializing issues concerning Asians. Definition The term is believed to have come into use in the 2010s. It refers to Asians who would often use their "Asianness" to speak on behalf of the Asian population in the West, using talking points often parroting white liberals, which has been accused as gaslighting actual issues faced by the Asian diaspora. The Asian identity of boba liberals has often been accused as being shallow and superficial since it goes directly against their goal of aspiring to whiteness, and so uses surface level stereotypical Asian traits such as "liking boba tea" to boaster their Asian credentials. Hence, the emergence of the term boba liberal. United States Specifically in the United States, it is said that boba liberals often use boba tea as it does not require much personal investment; it is a fairly popular drink in Asia and therefore a safe non-opinion to take and identify with, unlike contentious or serious topics such as bipartisan policies that specifically affects Asians, such as the Asian quota in American universities and colleges. Therefore, while the word "liberal" is used in the term, it is not mutually exclusive to one specific ideology, as it may also extend to conservative–aligned Asians in some areas, as they would often take advantage of the "model minority" label by defending such measures.

Jackson's proposal, presented for public consultation in July 2021, was for three scattered bronze figures on a raised platform. Two standing adults and one small child would have symbolised the diverse experiences of migrants to the United Kingdom, with space between the figures to emphasise the ambiguity of separation and migration, as well as inviting onlookers and passers to pause and sit in that space themselves: Writing 'One Sunday Morning in May 1971'. Shortlisted for BBC 4 Opening Lines, 2015. 'An Age of Reason (Coming Here)', in How I Feel (poem), 2016.

Charles Phan (born July 30, 1962) is the Executive Chef and founder of The Slanted Door in San Francisco, California and The Slanted Door Group of restaurants. His surname is of Vietnamese origin and pronounced “fän”. Early life and education Phan grew up in Da Lat, Vietnam after his parents fled China in the 1960s. His given name is Toàn but that later changed to Charles when he came to the US. In Vietnam, his father, Quyen Phan, and uncle opened a small grocery store where Phan and his five siblings helped with the family business. This would eventually become the inspiration for his restaurant, Wo Hing General Store (opened 2011 - closed 2013). In April 1975, just before Saigon fell to the Vietcong, 13 year old Phan and his family of 8 fled with 400 other people aboard a cargo ship. The ship eventually arrived to Guam where they lived for 18 months. There, Phan’s family was sponsored by an American couple who supported them with housing. While helping his aunt to cook and watching Jacques Pepin's television show, Phan became interested in cooking. After living in Guam for 18 months, the family immigrated again and settled in San Francisco, California. He was raised in the Chinatown neighborhood and attended Mission High School, graduating in 1979. He was admitted to the University of California, Berkeley’s School of Architecture but dropped out his third year to protest a steep tuition increase. After leaving college early, Phan worked in software sales and other various jobs as he was developing the concept for his first restaurant, The Slanted Door. Career In 1995, Phan opened his first restaurant, The Slanted Door, as a fine dining restaurant serving Vietnamese cuisine. Its goal was to elevate Vietnamese food with modern design, sustainable local ingredients, quality teas, and wine pairings. As a young teenager, his curiosity for food began at home while watching his aunt cook and while exploring the food scene of San Francisco. Phan saw an opportunity to introduce American diners to the world of Vietnamese food. He started by hosting small dinners for friends, refining his style of cooking, and developing his restaurant idea. The Slanted Door’s first location was on Valencia Street in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco. It later moved to the SOMA (South of Market) neighborhood in 2002 and finally to its famous location at the historic Ferry Building in 2004. Slanted Door was one of the first restaurants in San Francisco to feature craft cocktails. In 2004, Charles was recognized as “Best Chef: California” from the James Beard Foundation. In the years that followed, Charles continued to expand his restaurant group with more restaurants and bars.

Lazar Fedorovich Bicherakhov (; ; 15 November 1882 – 22 June 1952) was a Russian army officer who participated in World War I and the Russian Civil War, as a member of the Imperial Russian and White Russian armies respectively. Biography Bicherakhov hailed from a Cossack family of Ossetian descent. He graduated from the real school in St. Petersburg and Alekseevsky military school in Moscow. He served in the 1st Gorsko-Mozdok regiment of the Terek Cossack Host (1911–1914) of the 1st Caucasus Cossack Division, which had its headquarters in the town of Oltu, Kars Oblast. In 1912, L. Bicherakhov had the rank of sotnik. During World War I, Bicherakhov served in 1915–1918 in the expeditionary corps of General Nikolai Baratov in Persia as the commander of the Terek Cossack detachment with the rank of army starshina. He was awarded the Order of St. Vladimir of the 4th degree. In June 1918, Bicherakhov made an alliance in Enzeli with British General Lionel Dunsterville to take joint action against Ottoman and Soviet forces in the Caucasus. Since Dunsterville had no troops available for immediate deployment to prevent the advance of the Ottoman army, it was agreed to allow Bicherakhov to temporarily cooperate with the Bolsheviks. On 1 July 1918, by agreement with the leaders of the Baku Commune Bicherakhov arrived with a unit of 600 Cossacks to Baku to fight against the Islamic Army of the Caucasus under the command of Turkish general Nuri Pasha Killigil and the armed forces of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in the battle of Baku. However, battlefield failures forced Bicherakov to withdraw with his men to Petrovsk-Port. In October 1918, Bicherakhov declared allegiance to the Provisional All-Russian Government, and was conferred the rank of major-general in the white army. Bicherakhov emigrated in 1919 to Great Britain, and from there to Germany in 1928, where during World War II he led North Caucasus people's section in the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia. He died and was buried in Ulm in 1952.

The economy of Iran has been stagnated for several years since the Islamic Revolution. The economic recession was intensified in early 1990s. Thus, it is necessary to make serious decisions in processing macroeconomic variables. In early 2010s, the real GDP trend experienced serious changes, and the economic recession was intensified with a drop in oil prices and the subsequent reduction in domestic and foreign exchange earnings. In economic literature, the overall macroeconomic performance deviation from the long-term growth is called the business cycle. Clearly, a better understanding of recession in the economy of Iran is crucial in economic policies. Efforts have been made to explain and define recession so that the proposed definitions would reflect some relevant theories. Although the business cycles are different in terms of duration and intensity, they usually have common features including production, employment, real income and real sales which increase or decrease simultaneously. On the other hand, some economic variables as leading indicators suggest the creation of a cycle in future before intensification of a business cycle. These variables include the number of working hours, real contracts, the volumes of orders in the manufacturing sector, number of started buildings, changes in the money supply, changes in the credits and changes in some of the sensitive prices. The use of variables to identify boom and recession periods can be differently important. This has been investigated in economic studies using different econometric methods. Signs of a Recession The standard macroeconomic definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Private business, which had been in expansion prior to the recession, scales back production and tries to limit exposure to systematic risk. Measurable levels of spending and investment are likely to drop and a natural downward pressure on prices may occur as aggregate demand slumps. At the microeconomic level, firms experience declining margins during a recession. When revenue, whether from sales or investment, declines, firms look to cut their least-efficient activities. A firm might stop producing low-margin products or reduce employee compensation. It might also renegotiate with creditors to obtain temporary interest relief. Unfortunately, declining margins often force businesses to fire less productive employees. Causes of Recession in Iran’s Economy Causes of reduced real growth of the country's economic activities can be generally evaluated in terms of supply-side and demand-side evolutions. As far as current recession (economic downturn) is concerned, evolutions in the demand side play a greater role as compared with the previous recessionary situations. Recording a growth of -5.8 percent in 2012, Iran's economy experienced the steepest recession since the end of Iran-Iraq War. Although, in the first half of 2013, Iran's economic growth, with a slight change, recorded a rate of -3.1 percent, negative economic growth figures have been recorded ever since. Now the important questions are: What are the main causes of the recent severe recession in Iran? And what conditions and time horizons are required to come out of this recession? Economic sanctions, including oil embargoes, financial sanctions and sanctions imposed against Iranian companies, can be collectively cited as the most important causes of the severe recession in Iran in the recent years; and are the major contributors to the persistence of this recession. These sanctions have contributed to Iran's economic downturn (recession) in several ways, including the sharp decline in oil revenues, exchange rate jumps and the volatility thereof, dominance of a multi-rate exchange system, limitations imposed on financial and commodity exchanges with foreign countries (as a result of sanctions), increased risks and uncertainty, and decreased economic security. Sharp Decline in Oil Revenues Experience has shown that the Iran's production and economic growth response to fluctuations in oil revenues is asymmetrical. In other words, reduced oil revenues leave a greater impact on production and economic growth than increased oil revenues. When oil revenues are high, the country's economy is afloat, but as soon as a substantial reduction in oil revenues occurs, the economy faces a negative shock followed by a sharp decline in economic growth. Accordingly, oil embargoes-through sharply reducing oil revenues – have had a severe recessionary impact on the Iranian economy during the last two years. Exchange Rate Jumps and Volatility Although exchange rate jumps can – through increasing competitiveness of domestic producers with foreign competitors in both domestic and foreign markets – help to increase production and improve economic growth, they can also introduce severe recessionary effects by sharply increasing production costs. The important point in this regard is that the negative effects caused by rising production costs affect the economy quickly and strongly; whereas the positive effects associated with increasing competitiveness are gradual and manifested over time. In addition to exchange rate jumps, currency volatility has had recessionary impacts by creating extensive economic uncertainties. Therefore, in the short run, exchange rate jumps and volatility have left their ultimate quick and strong recessionary impacts on the country's economy. Imposed Limitations on Commodity and Financial Exchanges with Foreign Countries Oil embargo is only one aspect of the newly imposed economic sanctions on Iran. Financial sanctions imposed on Iran's banking system, especially those on Iran Central Bank, and the other sanctions imposed by a number of foreign companies have made Iran's financial and commodity exchanges with foreign countries much more difficult, time-consuming, and costly; and, at times, virtually impossible. In fact, in the current situation, quantitative restrictions in foreign trading have more destructive effects than price restrictions of exchange rate. For example, the impossibility of importing certain spare parts can cause severe problems in certain industries; an obvious example being Iran's automotive industry. Due to the broad commodity and financial transactions between Iran and foreign countries, this would naturally have a severe recessionary effect on Iran's economy. Increased Risk, Uncertainty, and Decreased Economic Security One of the requirements for economic boom and growth in any country is the dominance of reliability and providing economic security for economic actors. Intensified economic sanctions and increased tensions in foreign relations through economic uncertainty, as well as weak economic security, have increased the risk of investment in production. Naturally, this situation finally left its negative effects on Iran's national production and investment potentials. References Iran Recessions Economics C++ articles

The Gas (Exempt Supplies) Act 1993 (1993 chapter 1) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which amended the prohibition on certain unauthorised gas supplies and amended the duties of the Director General of Gas Supply. Background The Gas Act 1986, which had privatised the British gas industry, had been focussed on large suppliers of gas. The associated bureaucracy and regulation costs were an impediment to smaller suppliers. These included suppliers of LPG (liquified petroleum gas, comprising butane and propane). The Gas (Exempt Supplies) Bill had started as a Private Members Bill in the House of Lords and was intended to remove the prohibition on unauthorised supply of gas from smaller operators. Gas (Exempt Supplies) Act 1993 The Gas (Exempt Supplies) Act 1993 received Royal Assent on 19 January 1993. Its long title is ‘An Act to amend section 5 of the Gas Act 1986; and for connected purposes.’ Provisions The Act comprises four sections: Section 1: Prohibition on unauthorised supply. Removed and replaced Section 5 of the Gas Act 1986. Prohibition not to include suppliers of gas comprising mainly propane and butane. Section 2: Exemption from section 5. Added a new section 6A to the 1986 Act. Allowed exemptions if agreed by the Secretary of State for Energy and the Director General of Gas Supply. Section 3: Keeping a register. Exemptions and notifications to be included in a register. Section 4: Short title, commencement and extent. Act does not extend to Northern Ireland. Repeal Sections 1 and 2 of this Act were repealed by Section 17 of the Gas Act 1995. Effective from 1 March 1996.

Double Kick Heroes is a video game developed by Headbang Club, which combines rhythm game and shoot 'em up mechanics. It was released for multiple platforms in August 2020. Gameplay Double Kick Heroes is a 2D side-scrolling video game with rhythm gameplay that features up to three musical instruments. Its story follows a band of heavy metal musicians who travel around a post-apocalyptic monster infested world in a Cadillac automobile. Players must repel pursuing enemies through shoot 'em up mechanics which is intertwined with the game's double kick drumbeat: this involve pressing buttons on a controller or a keyboard, timed to the beat of a music track, in order to trigger firearm weapons which are strapped to the musicians' instruments, with different notes powering up different weapons. Players may maneuver the car to evade obstacles, or launch grenades to deal area of effect damage to enemies. Enemies encountered by players include zombies, mutant soldiers, anthropomorphic sharks, dinosaurs, and Mad Max-style road gangs. Each level in Double Kick Heroes takes the form of a highway which lasts exactly as long as the featured track. Double Kick Heroes features up to 30-tracks composed by musician Elmobo at launch, in addition to nine guest tracks from other games and bands. Alternatively, payers may customize levels using a complimentary level editor by importing music into the game, or compose and design note-charts for levels from scratch. Development Double Kick Heroes is developed by French studio Headbang Club. It was first conceived in December 2015 for the 34th Ludum Dare game jam, an online event where games are made from scratch in a weekend. The game's original version had limited features: gameplay was based around the concept of alternating two-button controls and the sole featured musical instrument were drums, with players using both left and right arrow keys on the keyboard to simulate high tempo percussion and generate a machine gun bullet that accompanies each note hit to attack a growing swarm of zombies. Double Kick Heroes was later developed as an commercial video game, with an early access version released through Steam Early Access in April 2019. This version allows players to use up to four buttons for the percussion arsenal mechanic, and another two to maneuver the car. Headbang Club released regular update for the game as part of its early access period; for example, the July 2019 "Going Rogue" update adds a roguelike survival mode called Fury Road where players can add modifiers to a level's gameplay. Another alternate game mode named the "Chill Mode" removes pursuing monsters and allows players to experience a level in the style of a conventional rhythm game without combat mechanics. The full version of Double Kick Heroes launched on August 13, 2020, for the Nintendo Switch and PC platforms via Steam. Versions for the Xbox One and PC via the Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass for PC were released on August 28, 2020. Hound Picked Games serves as co-publisher and helped produce a physical edition for the Nintendo Switch. Reception In an April 2018 article written for Rock, Paper, Shotgun which previewed the game's early access build, Dominic Tarason found Double Kick Heroes "surprisingly demanding", particularly with the way he had to multitask between "juggling multiple audio tracks", with each tied to a different weapon, while at the same time keeping an eye on the gameplay screen itself for enemies to target and attacks to steer away from. According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Double Kick Heroes received average or mixed reviews following its 2020 multi-platform release.

History The founder William Charles Rigby (March 1834 – 14 July 1913) was born in London. His parents had intended for him the life of a hatter, but he was attracted to bookselling, so was apprenticed to Parker and Sons of London and Oxford, where George Robertson and Samuel Mullen (both became bookshop owners in Melbourne) were fellow workers. Thinking to make his fortune on the goldfields of Victoria, he purchased the 48-ton lugger Gem, previously associated with a yachting club at Ryde, Isle of Wight, and in 1853 set out for the colonies with his young wife Harriet and their son, her parents (Mr and Mrs Caple), sister Fanny Caple and a crew of seven, presumably including a navigator/captain; thirteen in all. A large crowd gathered at Southampton to witness the departure of the tiny craft. The voyage was long and hard, a total of 18 weeks, and at one point they were driven ashore, possibly on Kangaroo Island, but managed to get her free without damage. They entered Port Phillip Bay, sailed up the Yarra without benefit of a pilot, and without following pratique, formalizing the voyage after the event. The crew disembarked and without waiting for their pay made off for Ballarat. Rigby had intended the Gem for service on the Yarra, but found her unsuited to the purpose (or was frustrated by years of litigation), and eventually the little vessel was sold by auction for a fraction of her value, perhaps ending up in the South Australian coastal shipping fleet. Rigby spent six years at the diggings without making his fortune, then moved to Adelaide, where in 1859, with five cases of stock to a total value of £229 16 7d., he opened a book shop at 53 Hindley Street, in those days the premier shopping strip. Set into the pavement in front of his shop were blue and white tiles, proclaiming "W. C. Rigby — Bookseller, Stationer, and Newsagent". He had such an understanding of the literary tastes and commercial requirements of Adelaide that his business prospered and in 1875 he took the lease on vacant land at 74 King William Street, and erected a new building, artistically decorated with oil paintings which were periodically refreshed. In 1901 he was able to purchase the King William Street property freehold from the Montefiore estate for £4,000. In 1909, at age 75, Rigby retired, and the business was sold to a limited liability company, registered in September 1909, retaining the name of the founder. He died at his home "St Heliers", 40 Third Avenue, East Adelaide, and his remains interred at the West Terrace Cemetery. Family His wife Harriet died on 28 November 1872. Their family included at least one son, W. J. Rigby (c. 1853 – 7 January 1894) and three daughters: Mrs A. Ringwood, of Barnard Street, North Adelaide; Mrs Max Meth; and Miss Rigby, of East Adelaide. Rigby Ltd J. M. Bath joined the firm in September 1912, and the proprietors decided to realise its value, and sell the lease, while selling the business to George Fraser, of Sands & McDougall, with an eye to amalgamating the two companies. As a result of the Great War of 1914–18 nothing eventuated and on 1 May 1917 Fraser sold his shares to Bath, who negotiated a 30-year lease of the King William Street property, then in 1924 sold the building and lease to Army and Navy Stores, Ltd. In the meantime Bath secured the lease on Sandford's warehouse behind the shop, on Imperial Place, from which premises business continued to expand. In 1932 he purchased Herbert Small's Electrolux shop adjoining at 16 Grenfell Street, and the Rundle Street branch of Cole's Book Arcade. Bath died in 1946 and V. M. Branson took over as managing director. The company began publishing textbooks for South Australian schools, followed by books of general interest by and for Australians. Branches were opened in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in the 1950s, with an up-to-date distribution centre in James Place, Adelaide. A Perth office opened in 1962. In 1973 the company changed owners and Branson left. During his reign the number of employees increased from 44 to over 200 and, towards the end, hundreds of new titles were published every year. In 1977 the Paul Hamlyn Group, through its Octopus Books subsidiary, purchased 10.48 per cent of Rigby's capital from an Adelaide investor, and a takeover bid by that company, which entailed buying out the major shareholder, was opposed by the Australian Independent Publishers Association. By 1977 Rigby had become Australia's largest book publisher. People John Morley Bath (c. 1880 – 3 June 1946) became company secretary around 1917 and managing director from c. 1934.

Babar Deva is seen as a hero. He met a Bania social worker, after which he vowed to rob British officers and treasury instead of killing and robbing people. Babar Deva also supported Mahatma Gandhi's movement. Babar Deva had committed more than 24 murders and when he came to know that his family members were informing the British government, he also killed them, then after some time he had also killed his sister for the same reason.

But once Babar had robbed the house of a Patidar in Kaniyagaon of Petlad taluka, during that time he was caught by the army of the princely state of Baroda and was imprisoned in Petlad jail. In 1919, Babur escaped from the jail of Petlad and committed two major robberies and also killed people. In 1920, he made 15 big dacoits by forming a big gang and in the same year Babar also killed his sister. Reform In 1922, Babar changed himself and made a social reformer his companion who worked for Hinduism and the poor. Gradually Babar also started working for the poor like a messiah.
