Fergus Falls station is a historic building located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022 as the Northern Pacific Depot.
History
The St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway, later known as the Great Northern Railway, was the first railroad to reach Fergus Falls in 1879. George B. Wright, who developed the city, continued to lobby the Northern Pacific Railway to come here and they arrived in 1882. Its first depot was located on the site of the present building. The wood-frame structure suffered two fires with the second fire destroying it in 1892. The second depot at this location was also a wood-frame building that was destroyed in fire in 1903. A third frame depot was completed the same year and it was destroyed in the 1919 Fergus Falls tornado.
The present brick Neoclassical depot was completed in 1920. The combination passenger and freight depot was built on the location of the former freight depot. It was a larger facility than any other of the previous depots in Fergus Falls, which suggests the increase in business for the Northern Pacific over the years. The last passenger train left the depot in 1959. The facility continued to serve as a freight depot until 1970 when it closed after the Northern Pacific merged with other railroads to form the Burlington Northern Railroad. Operations in Fergus Falls were transferred to the former Great Northern Depot, which now houses the Otter Tail Valley Railroad. After sitting empty for years, the former Northern Pacific depot was renovated in 2014. It now houses a restaurant.

The Girl in the Polka Dot Dress is the last novel by writer Beryl Bainbridge published in 2011 following her death. As explained in the postscript:
Beryl Bainbridge was in the process of finishing The Girl in the Polka Dot Dress when she died on 2 July 2010. Her long-time friend and editor, Brendan King prepared the text for publication from her working manuscript, taking into account suggestions Beryl made at the end of her life. No additional material has been included.
Plot
Set in the summer of 1968 the novel is based on the true story surrounding the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy where a woman wearing a polka dot is seen before and after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
Rose, a dental receptionist, is the owner of the dress, and has travelled from Kentish Town (London) to the United States to find the enigmatic Dr. Wheeler, who rescued her from a terrible childhood. On her arrival in Baltimore she meets 'Washington Harold' who accompanies her in a camper van to track down Dr. Wheeler. Harold has ulterior motives for confronting Wheeler without telling Rose. They travel via Washington, Wanakena, Chicago, Santa Ana and then onto Los Angeles, where they arrive at Ambassador Hotel where Wheeler is part of Robert Kennedy's entourage.
Reception
Alex Clark, writing in The Guardian, concludes that "It's no accident that when Rose and Harold reach Los Angeles they intersect with an episode from American history not only so painfully fateful but also so bewildering. The brief appearance of Sirhan Sirhan - Bobby Kennedy's assassin, whose actions have been the subject of theories that include hypnotism and mind control - pulls us towards dizzying thoughts of individual responsibility and the effects of charisma and personal magnetism. The Girl in the Polka Dot Dress may not have every final i dotted and t crossed but, as most of Bainbridge's oeuvre did, it leaves its readers with more to think about than one might imagine possible for such a slender tale. It is a fitting finale and a poignant farewell to a career defiantly and uncontestably sui generis."
Paul Bailey from The Independent also praises the novel "It is a pleasure to record that The Girl in the Polka-dot Dress ranks among the finest of Bainbridge's fine works of fiction. The narrative is by turns sombre, terrifying and hilarious... The Girl in the Polka-dot Dress reads like a summation of Beryl Bainbridge's art. It is carefully constructed, as always, but there is a sense in which the author is returning to her roots, using the rich material of her early life in wartime Liverpool to devastating effect, and that Rose is the last repository for those feelings that first inspired her to abandon acting and become a novelist. The constant theme in Bainbridge's novels, the all-important concern, is death. The idea of extinction informs her fiction from the beginning to the end of her writing life.
William Boyd writing in The New York Times explains that "makes this novel different from the ones that have gone before is its darkness. The novel is suffused with death — the famous assassinations that marked the 1960s, of J.F.K. and Martin Luther King Jr., and Jack Ruby’s murder of Lee Harvey Oswald — but also the deaths encountered as the journey progresses. A funeral for a young man killed in Vietnam, a dog run over, a pervert stabbed by his victim: the body count is bleak and impossible to ignore. And because this is Bainbridge’s last novel, written during what she knew was a fatal illness, one wonders — legitimately — if her own prospective demise prompted these sombre meditations..."
Michael Dirda also praises the novel in The Washington Post, where he writes, "In the end, The Girl in the Polka-Dot Dress is strong on atmosphere, incident and wit, while remaining rather nebulous and tantalizing in its plot and resolution. So it’s not quite as fine a novel as those various Booker short-listed titles. Still, you’ll almost certainly enjoy Beryl Bainbridge’s dry humor and her book’s pervasive sense of menace. It’s an odd combination, but Bainbridge brings it off beautifully."

HD 30479 (HR 1531) is a solitary star in the southern circumpolar constellation Mensa. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.04, making it barely visible to the naked eye even under ideal conditions. It is located at a distance of 540 light years but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of .
HD 30479 has a stellar classification of K2 III, indicating that it is an early K-type giant star and has an angular diameter of (after limb darkening correction). This yields a radius 17.99 times that of the Sun at its estimated distance. At present it has 1.28 times the mass of the Sun and radiates at 116 times the luminosity of the Sun at an effective temperature of 4,390 K from its enlarged photosphere, which gives it an orange glow. HD 30479 is believed to be one of the metal-deficient members of the young disk population with an iron abundance 71% that of the Sun. Currently, it spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity less than , common for giants.

Arrëni (also spelled Arni, Arrni, Arnji and Arrnji) were a small Albanian tribe or fis from the Lumë region.
Geography
The Arrëni inhabited the southwestern part of the Lumë valley and a village in the region is named after their tribe. Their tribal region is centred in the area between Mount Zeba and the western bank of the Black Drin. They border Dardha to the south, Luma to the east and northeast and the Mirdita region to the west and northwest, in particular the Oroshi and Fani tribes.
Origin
The Arrëni were of polyphyletic origin thus they are not a traditional Albanian fis in the sense that they do not claim descendant from a common male ancestor. The tribe itself is an offshoot of the larger Berisha tribe.
History
The term Arrëni was first recorded in 1641 in a report of Marco Scura and in 1703 as Arena and Areni in a report of the Catholic archbishop of Bar, Vincentius Zmajevich.
The Arrëni were a small tribe located between three larger groupings, Luma, Dibra and Mirdita. Although they had close relations with all three, they were quite independent. Like other tribes such as Dibra, Mat and Lura, the Arrëni were an ethnographic grouping with a distinct history and identity. They are said to have been seperated from the Berisha tribe and are culturally related to the tribes of the Mirdita region. Their Women traditionally wore the Mirdita dress.
The Arrëni tribe was originally Catholic and a church dedicated to Saint Barbara was located in their chief village. The whole tribe converted to Islam during the Ottoman rule and some members of the tribe migrated to Kosovo and North Macedonia, those are primarily found in the villages of Dëbëlldeh and Belanovtse, in the Skopska Crna Gora region.

In March 2007, the choir was awarded the Mykola Vitaliyovych Lysenko Prize and directory Bukhonskaya was awarded the title of "Honored Artist of Ukraine".
In June 2007, due to a conflict with mayor of Kyiv Leonid Chernovetskyi over the allocation of land for a new room for the choir, Bukhonska was forced to resign as director.
In 2007, the choir has been directed by Pavlo Struts, a graduate of the Kyiv Conservatory. In 2009, the choir was awarded academic status, and since January 2011 its official name has been the Khreschatyk Academic Chamber Choir.
Activities
The ensemble primarily performs modern works by Ukrainian composers. It regularly participates in festivals organized by the National Union of Composers of Ukraine such as the "Premieres of the Season", "Kyiv Music Fest", and "Golden-Domed Kyiv".
Over the course of 1996 to 2004, the choir performed more than 500 works, 200 of which were premiers. In 2006, it performed its first theatrical production. By 2017, the choir had performed 800 works, 300 of which were premiers.
Since 2015, the choir began expanding the type of music it performed, beginning to sing popular music as well as Ukrainian songs. Emulating show choirs, the Khreshchatyk Choir ran a concert series called "Hits from Everywhere" which included covers of songs by ABBA, Muse, Okean Elzy, and others.

In particular, he was very loyal to President Ngô Đình Diệm. In the mid-1960s, he had the initiative to establish the Marine Force to prevent the infiltration of people and weapons by the North Vietnamese Army.
On 11 November 1960, a duo of officers, including Colonel Nguyễn Chánh Thi and Lieutenant Colonel Vương Văn Đông led a coup to overthrow the government of President Ngô Đình Diệm, he personally brought troops into the Reunification Palace. Set up a rescue, causing the coup that just broke out to fail.

Along with him were two Navy officers under his command, Major Trương Học Lực, Commander of Region 3 Rivers and Captain Nguyễn Kim Hương Giang, commander of the 24th Volunteer Corps and commander Đoàn Giang Vận. These two officers were ordered by the generals leading the coup to remove him from the position of Commander of the Navy, so they tricked him into going to Thủ Đức and killed him in the rubber forest. Because if he was still the commander, he would command the navy to rescue President Diệm, with his loyalty plus the navy at that time, the coup would have likely failed. He was murdered at 36 years old.
Immediately after that, the Revolutionary Military Council, chaired by General Dương Văn Minh, appointed Colonel Chung Tấn Cang to the position of Commander of the Navy.

Colandia () also kolandiapha, kolandiapha onta, or kolandiaphonta was a kind of vessel, which was used by Early Chola. Chola used two varieties of vessels. The first kind, known as the Sangara, including vessels both large and small. The second variety, called Colandia, were very large in size and these types of vessels were used for voyages to the Ganges and the Chryse, which was the name of various places occurring in Ancient Greek geography. Also, the Chola had voyages from the ancient port Puhar to Pacific Islands.
It is now generally accepted that kolandiaphonta was a transcription of the Chinese term Kun-lun-po, which refers to an Indonesian vessel (see jong ship). The Sangara is likely to have been derived from Indonesian twin-hulled vessels similar to Pacific catamarans.

Stewart Creek is a river in the east-central part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river's source is Lower Fishing Lake of the Cub Hills in Narrow Hills Provincial Park, and it travels south through boreal forest and muskeg en route to its mouth at the Torch River. The Torch River flows east to the Saskatchewan River, which is part of the Hudson Bay drainage basin. There are no communities nor settlements along the course of the river.
A portion of Narrow Hills Provincial Park's southern boundary follows the course of the Stewart Creek. Also near the park's southern boundary, Highway 926 crosses the river. Stewart Creek is the middle one of three rivers that run south together out of the Cub Hills and into the Torch River. To the west of Stewart Creek runs White Gull Creek and to the east is Falling Horse Creek. All three rivers meet at the Torch River within a short distance of each other.
Stewart Creek's source is Lower Fishing Lake, which is Caribou Creek's terminus. Along Stewart Creek's course it is fed by several smaller rivers and streams.

Ondogurvel () (meaning "egg lizard") is a genus of alvarezsaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) Barun Goyot Formation in southern Mongolia. The type and only species is O. alifanovi, known from a partial skeleton consisting of fragments of two last dorsal vertebrae, three anterior sacral vertebrae, right ilium, left and right pubis and ischium, articulated right tibia, fibula, metatarsals II and IV, and phalanges IV-1 and IV-2, right carpometacarpus, left and right manual phalanx II-1, right femur, left pedal phalanx II-1, and fragments of unidentified phalanges.
Discovery and naming
In 2022, the type species Ondogurvel alifanovi was named and described by Alexander O. Averianov and Alexey V. Lopatin. The generic name, "Ondogurvel" combines the Mongolian words өндөг “ondo” (), meaning egg, and гүрвэл “gurvel” (), meaning lizard. The specific name, "alifanovi" () honors the late Russian paleontologist Vladimir Alifanov who found the holotype specimen (PIN 5838/1) in 1999.
Description
Ondogurvel was a bipedal theropod. Like other parvicursorines, it had a robust humerus, and long hindlimbs suggesting a cusorial lifestyle. It is unique in that, unlike all other alvarezsaurids, it has metartarsals II and IV completely fused along their contact area.
Classification
Averianov and Lopatin (2022) place Ondogurvel in the alvarezsaurid subfamily Parvicursorinae which are classified by their manus morphology. They recovered that Ondogurvel formed a clade with Xixianykus and Albinykus which have proximally co-ossified metatarsals II and IV. The describing paper also proposes that the "drastic difference in the morphology of the carpometacarpus across Parvicursorinae may suggest a deep divergence between the parvicursorine lineages represented by the Bissekty alvarezsaurid – Linhenykus and Mononykus – Ondogurvel".
Phylogeny after Averianov & Lopatin (2022):
Paleobiology
Nemegtomaia, an oviraptorosaur, is also known from the Nemegt locality of the Mongolian Barun Goyot Formation. Other localities have yielded dinosaurs including other alvarezsaurids (Ceratonykus, Khulsanurus, and Parvicursor), as well as dromaeosaurs (Kuru and Shri) oviraptorosaurs (Conchoraptor and Heyuannia), a halszkaraptorine (Hulsanpes), a sauropod (Quaesitosaurus), ceratopsians (Bagaceratops and Breviceratops), a pachycephalosaur (Tylocephale), and ankylosaurs (Saichania, Tarchia, and Zaraapelta).

Architrypethelium barrerae is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. It is found in cloud forests of Xalapa city, Mexico.
Taxonomy
The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2022 by Jorge Guzmán-Guillermo and Régulo Carlos Llarena-Hernández. The type specimen was collected in the El Haya ecological park (Xalapa, Veracruz). The lichen, which is only known from the type locality, occurs in cloud forest at an elevation of . The specific epithet honours Dr. Clementina Barrera-Bernal, who supported Guzmán-Guillermo's studies.
Description
Architrypethelium barrerae has a thin green to yellowish thallus, with ascomata immersed in the bark substrate, opened by small holes (ostioles) measuring 0.7–1.2 mm in diameter. The ascospores, which number two per ascus, measure 160–200 by 50–75 μm. The lichen contains two secondary compounds (detectable using thin-layer chromatography), an unidentified anthraquinone, and lichexanthone. The latter compound causes the lichen to fluoresce yellow when shone with a UV light. The only other species in genus Architrypethelium known to contain lichexanthone is A. hyalinum, which can be distinguished from A. barrerae by its shorter spores (160–200 by 30–50 μm) and number of spores in the asci (4–8).

Kylie Ohlmiller (born September 24, 1996) is an American professional women's lacrosse player for Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse. She played collegiately at Stony Brook University, where she set the record for most career points in Division I history with 498 and most career assists with 246.
She played professionally for the now-defunct United Women's Lacrosse League, being selected first overall by the Boston Storm in the 2018 UWLX draft and the now-defunct Women's Professional Lacrosse League, selected first overall by the New York Fight.
The New York Times declared Ohlmiller to be "the face of women’s lacrosse." She has been a member of the United States women's national lacrosse team since 2017. Ohlmiller has signed endorsement deals with New Balance and Brine Lacrosse. Ohlmiller is also the founder of KO17 Lacrosse, a lacrosse training organization which hosts camps, clinics and online instruction.
Early life and high school
Ohlmiller was born in Islip, New York. She attended Islip High School. While she missed her freshman year of high school with an injury, she was named a team captain during her sophomore, junior and senior years, scoring over 250 points and being named a two-time Academic All-American. After scoring 112 goals in her senior year of high school, Ohlmiller was named a US Lacrosse All-American. She also played volleyball and basketball in high school.
Ohlmiller was not a highly-recruited prospect coming out of high school. The only power conference school to show interest in her was Ohio State, but Stony Brook head coach Joe Spallina showed the most confidence in her abilities.
College career
Before her freshman season even began, Spallina said of Ohlmiller that "before she’s out of here, she’ll be a very strong candidate to win the Tewaaraton." In her collegiate debut on February 21, 2015 against USC, Ohlmiller recorded two assists. She scored her first career goal against Drexel and tied the program freshman record for assists against Villanova. She was named America East Rookie of the Week six times, Inside Lacrosse National Rookie of the Week three times and Inside Lacrosse National Player of the Week after guiding Stony Brook to a victory over No. 5 Northwestern, Stony Brook's first win over a top-five team in school history. She ended her freshman season with 42 goals and 44 assists for 86 points.
In her sophomore year, Ohlmiller scored 91 points, the fifth-most in the country, and recorded 47 assists, the fourth-most. She earned IWLCA Player of the Week once and America East Player of the Week three times. She set a new career high with six goals against Vermont and earned a spot on the SportsCenter Top 10 for a no-look, behind-the-back goal she scored against Johns Hopkins.
Ohlmiller's junior season was record-breaking. With 78 goals and 86 assists, she scored 164 points, breaking Maryland's Jen Adams' Division I single-season record of 148 points set in 2001. Ohlmiller became the first player in Division I history to record 70 goals and 70 assists in the same season. Her 86 assists broke Hannah Nielsen of Northwestern's record for 83 assists in a season, set in 2009. Ohlmiller set an America East record with eight assists in a game against New Hampshire. A behind-the-back assist to her sister Taryn Ohlmiller in that game earned her another SportsCenter Top 10 appearance. She was named a finalist for the Tewaaraton Award, the first ever in Stony Brook history, the IWLCA Division I Attacker of the Year, a first-team IWLCA and ILWomen All-American selection and America East Offensive Player of the Year. She scored a career-high 12 points against Bryant. Stony Brook ended the season 20–2 with a loss in the 2017 NCAA Tournament quarterfinals to Maryland, the furthest the program had advanced yet; Stony Brook led 11–7 in the second half before Maryland came back to win 13–12. Ohlmiller had seven points in the game, coming from three points and four assists.
As a senior, Ohlmiller led Stony Brook to its first-ever No. 1 ranking in all three national polls. She led the country with 157 points, coming from 88 goals and a nation-leading 69 assists. She had five 10-point games and ended the season by scoring at least five points in 20 straight games. Ohlmiller was named a Tewaaraton Award finalist for the second straight year and was again named an Inside Lacrosse and IWLCA first team All-American, America East Offensive Player of the Year and first-team All-America East. On April 14, 2018, Stony Brook held "Kylie Ohlmiller Bobblehead Night" against Johns Hopkins, attracting a single-game program record 3,123 fans. On April 21 against UMBC, Ohlmiller broke both the NCAA career points and assists records, previously held by Jen Adams (445) and Hannah Nielsen (224), respectively. She was named the 2017–18 America East Woman of the Year. Stony Brook began the season 20–0 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2018 NCAA Tournament, where the Seawolves lost to Boston College 12–11 in double overtime to end their perfect season bid.
Ohlmiller ended her career with 498 career points and 246 career assists, both NCAA records. She also scored 252 goals, second-most in Stony Brook history behind teammate Courtney Murphy's 341 career goals, an NCAA record. Her 252 career goals were the 16th-most in NCAA history.
From 2019 to 2021, Ohlmiller also served as a volunteer assistant coach for Stony Brook after her graduation.

is a Japanese science fiction and comedy manga series written and illustrated by Yoshitoh Asari. It was serialized in Monthly Shōnen Captain and then on Monthly Afternoon between the years of 1986 and 1997, with the separate runs being published in a total of 21 tankōbon volumes. Portions of the manga was adapted into a 45-minute original video animation directed by Kimio Yabuki which aired in 1988.
An alien acting troupe accidentally orphan a young human girl and take it upon themselves to raise her in the customs of her human family until her biological family arrive to bring her to her original home. The manga's title is a parody on Swiss Family Robinson, in addition to referencing the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson which was stationed in Japan at the time of the manga's creation, which in turn, is named after Georgia congressman Carl Vinson. It has received generally favorable reviews praising its emotional core and underlying themes, but critiquing its lack of substantiative development for its cast.
Plot
In the year 4001, an interstellar acting troupe of six aliens are trying to fly to their next performance, as they are doing so, they accidentally crash into another spaceship over the planet Anika and lead to the death of a human couple. As the acting troupe explores the downed craft, they discover that their baby survived the crash, the police officer sent to record the crash refuses to look after the baby. Thus the alien acting troupe take it upon themselves to take care of the orphaned child as her new family, through the guidance of the ship's logs to raise her in a way that her biological parents would. The acting troupe expects to only take care of the baby for a few weeks, but five years have elapsed since then, and the acting troupe has settled down into life on the planet Anika as Corona's family and friends. The leader, Mother, and battle robot, Father, play the roles of the baby, Corona's, mother and father. The story starts off as Corona is about to enter kindergarten.
The OVA is a self contained story split into four sections, and adapted from the manga's material. Transitioning between spring, summer, autumn, and winter, it highlights on the deep bonds that the alien acting troupe has grown over the years and the genuine care they feel for Corona. When someone comes to pick up Corona, her adoptive mother struggles to decide between whether to do what is best for her child and her urge not to return her to her rightful family. It is eventually revealed that the craft sent to pick her up was not from her home planet, but an alien, Pona, who was looking for lost children to raise on her own. Corona rejects her, saying that she likes staying with her family, and waves goodbye to Pona. Corona's mother finds her, and they reunite, having thought that Corona would return with her people. At its end, she muses to herself that some day, she and her family will eventually have to give up Corona.
Development
The title of the series is a parody on Swiss Family Robinson. The "Carlvinson" portion of the title likely refers to the USS Carl Vinson, which was active in the Sea of Japan between the 1980s and 1990s. It was often seen in Tokyo harbor during the time Asari had drawn the manga. In turn, the aircraft carrier is named after U.S. congressman from Georgia Carl Vinson, however it is unlikely that Asari was paying homage to the congressman, who was an active supporter of the US Navy during the Second World War, and rather simply having the name be a play on the similar sounding title.
Asari, a fan of the science fiction genre, inserted in-group references to contemporary films and other related forms of media. There exists speculation that Space Family Carlvinson is a reference to the series Lost in Space, which was previously Space Family Robinson. Additionally, there are references to other science fiction films such as John Carpenter's The Thing, and Fiend Without a Face.
According to historian Fred Patten, around the time of the animated OVA's release, the Cartoon/Fantasy Organization was undergoing a breakup, and thus the ensuing internal conflict resulted in a failure for the OVA to be brought to a wider audience in the United States.

Reception
Historian Fred Patten writing in Cartoon Research thought that the OVA "had the potential to be so much more" and ended too abruptly, praising its humor and quiet charm due to its combination of sci-fi elements with more mundane everyday elements. Mike Toole writing for Anime News Network described the OVA as "cute, simple, fun to watch" but also noted that it was "100% unmarketable to anyone who isn't either familiar with the comics or an adventuresome cartoon dork" and critiqued the OVA for having little substance. Jason Huff writing in The Anime Review described the style as simplistic but effective, and praised its emotional core and underlying themes. He critiqued its gentle comedy and short length leaving little to develop the secondary cast. Sean O'Mara writing for ZIMMERIT described Space Family Carlvinson as "charming if forgettable", stating that it "holds up better than it has any right to and [it is] easy to recommend".

The Films of Rick Dalton is an upcoming novel written by Quentin Tarantino. It details the life and film and television career of the fictional actor Rick Dalton. Dalton is the main protagonist in Tarantino's 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and 2021 novelization. In the film he is portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio. Tarantino has already completed the novel and plans to publish it as his third book.
Character biography and background
Originally from the Midwest, Rick Dalton is an actor who moved to Los Angeles and starred in the fictitious television Western series Bounty Law from 1959 to 1963, inspired by real-life series Wanted Dead or Alive, starring Steve McQueen. Dalton's career was parallel to McQueen's for a couple of years. His series ran on NBC at the same time McQueen's ran on CBS. However, after McQueen starred in The Magnificent Seven their career paths took two very different trajectories. After Bounty Law Dalton began to appear in supporting film roles, leading to a four-picture-contract with Universal Pictures, ending in 1967. His film career never took off and in '67 he started to guest star on TV series as villains. While preparing to film his role in the 1966 movie The 14 Fists of McClusky Dalton would practice by using a flamethrower for three hours a day for two weeks.
In February 1969 Dalton has no understanding of New Hollywood or the hippie generation and sees himself as not belonging. He guest stars on the TV western Lancer where he is challenged as an actor for the first time by both child actor Trudi Frazer and director Sam Wanamaker. Through this challenge Dalton is able to see a future for himself in the new generation of filmmaking. Tarantino said of Dalton, "his biggest enemy is himself... his bad guys are his own demons," and likens Dalton finally facing his demons on Lancer to The Wild Bunch facing the Mexican Army.
Dalton's relationship with his stunt double and best friend Cliff Booth is based on Kurt Russell and his stunt double of many years, John Casino, and Burt Reynolds' with his longtime stunt double Hal Needham. Tarantino's inspiration for Dalton came from actors whose careers began in classical Hollywood but faltered in the 1960s, including Ty Hardin, who went from starring in a successful TV Western to making Spaghetti Westerns, and also Tab Hunter, George Maharis, Vince Edwards, Fabian Forte, William Shatner, and Edd Byrnes, whom Tarantino said DiCaprio responded to the most. In the film Leonardo DiCaprio based his performance on Ralph Meeker. After watching numerous performances on television and film, DiCaprio really connected with Meeker. He decided that was the guy closest to Dalton, stating "That was the soul of who Rick Dalton was for me." Dalton suffers from alcoholism and an undiagnosed bipolar disorder, inspired by Pete Duel.
After creating the character of Dalton for the film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino collaborated with DiCaprio to fully develop and craft the character. What attracted DiCaprio to Dalton was that he, along with Booth were telling a Hollywood story as outsiders. DiCaprio saw them as the Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway of Hollywood. They watch Sharon Tate's house as Gatsby and Carraway look at Daisy Buchanan's. DiCaprio described Tate's house as "this crystal castle next door... and they don't belong to it... That's the Hollywood they want to belong to, or at least Rick is desperately hoping to be a part of." DiCaprio and Tarantino studied the performances of Byrnes, Hardin, Meeker and others to find Dalton's identity. DiCaprio also really connected with Dalton's relationships with Trudi Frazer (who he saw as a young Meryl Streep) and Booth. To him Dalton was a template for Hollywood at the time, and for actor's self doubt which he related to on a personal level. Dalton has a stutter which DiCaprio based on a friend of his. He stated that it comes out when his friend is nervous and uncertain about his life. DiCaprio felt that it would help to represent Dalton's nervousness and anxiety.
Not included the film or its novelization, before shooting Spaghetti Westerns in Italy, Dalton's agent Marvin Schwarz arranges for him to have dinner with Sergio Corbucci and his wife, costume designer Nori Bonicelli, during which Dalton confuses Corbucci with Sergio Leone and disparages the English-dubbed version of Navajo Joe. Despite showing little respect or understanding for the genre and the Italian film industry, Dalton agrees to work with Corbucci because he believes he will suit the Nebraska Jim role well. Although Dalton comes to respect Corbucci's methods, his frequent outbursts over the Italian crew's methods of making the film, such as the use of multilingual actors speaking their own language (whose dialogue would later be replaced through dubbing), prompts Corbucci to turn down Dalton's offer to play Hud Dixon in The Specialists in favor of Johnny Hallyday.
Tarantino revealed that Dalton finds more success after the events of the film. His killing of Manson Family member Susan "Sadie" Atkins with a flamethrower from his film The 14 Fists of McClusky attracts much of the media's attention, leading to offers for roles in feature films. He also gets bigger guest roles in TV series, including an episode of Mission: Impossible centered around his character.
After Dalton's film in the early 1980s The Fireman he becomes a straight-to-video action star. He travels to Italy and the Philippines shooting B movie versions of top action films for Cannon Films and goes on to make two sequels to The Fireman. He continues to guest star on television shows but he is in high demand and earns top rate for his appearances. In 1988, Dalton retires from acting and moves to Hawaii with his wife Francesca Capucci, eventually meeting Tarantino himself at the 1996 Hawaii International Film Festival.
Novel background
In July 2021, Tarantino revealed that he had written most of a career book, recounting the filmography of Rick Dalton as if he had actually existed. It would include synopses, critical quotes from the time, and recounting of his film and television career until 1988. It details every one of Dalton's appearances on film and episodic television, with most of them being real programs and films with Dalton replacing the actual actor who starred in the project. However some of the films and shows are completely fictional.
One of the fictional films is the vigilante movie The Fireman:
By December 2021, Tarantino expected the book to be released following his film criticism book titled Cinema Speculation. Tarantino also added that within his Once Upon a Time universe a fictionalized version of himself writes the book after meeting Dalton and Roger Ebert and curating a Rick Dalton film retrospective.

Yekaterina Grigoryevna Barteneva (, née Bronevskaya ()), born in Saint Petersburg on 6 June 1843, died there 1 September 1914, was a Russian socialist and revolutionary.
Biography
Landowners of noble origin, Yekaterina Barteneva and her husband Viktor Ivanovich Bartenev (1838-1918) left Russia in 1867 for Geneva, where they were part of Bakunin's anarchist movement for a few years, before joining the Russian section of the First International with Nikolai Utin in 1869. The Bartenevs were in Paris during the Commune, where they were acquaintances with Pyotr Lavrov, Anne and Victor Jaclard, Elisabeth Dmitrieff, Louise Michel, and Georges Clemenceau, among others. During the fighting, Barteneva assisted wounded Communards. She would later try, unsuccessfully, to publish a memoir of her time in the Commune with Russkoye Bogatstvo.
After the fall of the Commune, she returned to Saint Petersburg. She worked on liberal journals Otechestvennye Zapiski and Delo, was in contact with members of Zemlia i Volia and Narodnaya Volya, and welcomed many populists to her home, such as , Sergey Stepnyak-Kravchinsky, Natalya Armfeldt, Nikolai Kibalchich, Nikolai Morozov, and Olga Lyubatovich. She was involved in the dynamiting of a train and hid Vera Zasulich from police after her assassination of Fyodor Trepov.
In July 1876, she gave her properties in the provinces of Kostroma and Yaroslavl to the peasants and went to live in Buy with her friend Natalia Armfeldt. In January 1889, she returned to Paris, where she worked in the Russian section of the Exposition Universelle. In July, she attended the first congress of the Second International and was elected secretary. On her return to Saint Petersburg in September, she joined the illegal social democratic circle founded by Mikhail Brusnev and met, among others, Olga and Vladimir Ulyanov (the future Lenin).
She was under police surveillance and, in 1891, her house was searched and illegal publications were discovered there. Relegated by the tsarist authorities to Pskov, she founded a school for workers and a public library there. In August 1898, she was allowed to return to Saint Petersburg. As a member of the menshevik RSDLP, she participated in the demonstrations of the 1905 Revolution. Reduced to poverty, she died of cancer on 1 September 1914 at the for poor women in Saint Petersburg and was buried in Novoderevenskoye cemetery.
Family
Yekaterina Bronevskaya married Viktor Ivanovich Bartenev, an army officer, in 1863. They had three sons, Viktor (born 1864), Grigory (born 1866), and German (born 1881). Viktor became a revolutionary like his parents and was exiled to Obdorsk.

The Đồng Văn riot was a conflict that broke out in the Đồng Văn highlands, Hà Giang province in late 1959. The Vietnamese People's Army began a campaign of suppression in early 1960 and quickly quelled the rebellion.
Background
After 1949, the People's Liberation Army defeated the Kuomintang army of Chiang Kai-shek. A part of Chiang's remnants fled to neighboring countries such as Laos, Burma, and Vietnam, leaning against the rugged mountains and forests to fight the raids of the People's Liberation Army. In Guangxi, the Kuomintang army took the area of the Thousand Mountains and the border with Vietnam as a base. Defeated in 1951, remnants of the Kuomintang army plotted to occupy the Đồng Văn Plateau to establish a base.
After the August Revolution, the Hmong king Vương Chí Sình left his mansion in Phó Bảng and moved to live in Sà Phìn palace. The Hmong king later became the nominal chairman of Đồng Văn district, but his actual power was much reduced.
After the 1959 People's Council election, the key leadership positions in Đồng Văn were mostly transferred from the aristocracy to the elected government. In the past, although there was a people-elected government, administrative power was still closely tied to the interests of the family. Taking advantage of this situation, the remnants of Chiang's army promoted propaganda and colluded with the old aristocrats of Đồng Văn and Mèo Vạc to incite rebellion to establish an "independent Hmong Kingdom". Hmong king Dương Trung Nhân, supported by the United States and internationally, was about to return to rule Đồng Văn. The Kuomintang troops across the border were painted as an international army returning home to help the king recover the territory. In early 1959, groups of bandits started burning down the committee's headquarters in Phố Cáo, Bạch Đích and Thắng Mố communes.
In May 1959, Vương Chí Sình went to Sà Phìn to set up a local force to stop the bandits. However, when he returned to Hanoi, his subordinate Vàng Chúng Dình (former Kuomintang veteran) quickly stepped up armed activities, beyond the control of the former Hmong king.
Developments
On 30 November 1959, a 40-man bandit platoon led by Vàng Chỉn Cáo locked the Cán Tỷ Heaven Gate, cutting off the arterial road from Hà Giang to . The next day, the band of bandits blocked Heaven's Gate, arrested two groups of horses carrying goods from the province to Đồng Văn, and chased the cadres back.
On 9 December, the Central Committee sent father and son Vương Chí Sình to lead a delegation of Fatherland Front cadres to Đồng Văn to negotiate with bandit boss Vàng Chỉn Cáo, persuade them to disband, and not help guide the mob. However, the negotiations failed completely.
A week later, a series of areas throughout Đồng Văn district were attacked and looted by bandits. On 12 December, Vàng Chúng Dình led 200 people to attack Đồng Văn town at the same time Vàng Dúng Mỷ attacked Mèo Vạc and robbed a trade store. In Lũng Phìn commune, the bandits destroyed the headquarters of the committee, robbed goods, destroyed the granary, and killed two commercial officials and two people. On 20 December, Phàn Chỉn Sài (Yao ethnicity) sent a group of bandits to attack Na Khê and Bạch Đích, forcing district officials to hang them on a tree as a target for soldiers to shoot. On 28 December, Giàng Quáng Ly occupied Yên Minh while Vàng Chỉn Cáo and Phàn Dền occupied Cán Tỷ and Đông Hà (Quản Bạ).
On 28 December, the Politburo instructed the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, the Party Committee of Việt Bắc and Hà Giang provinces to quickly take measures to quell the riots on the basis of a serious development assessment.
The armed police mobile detachment coordinated with local militia and guerrillas, Regiment 246 of Việt Bắc Military Region, and Mobile Battalion 12 of the People's Public Security Command began to attack and sweep across the region. All sites are occupied and operated. After many raids, the armed forces pushed the bandits out of residential areas.
Hoàng Văn Bách, Chairman of Đồng Văn town, together with a militia platoon of self-defense forces repelled many attacks on the town of 200 gunmen led by Vàng Chúng Dình. Vàng Chúng Dình sent 300 more troops to attack Đồng Văn again but failed to capture, the gunmen had to run to Ma Lé and Mã Sồ areas close to the border.
The armed forces continued their pursuit. The campaign lasted from 29 January 1960 (Lunar New Year's Day) to the end of 31 January, and was successful. Nearly 400 bandits were scattered, most of them surrendered their weapons. Vàng Chúng Dình had to flee to the Thập Vạn Đại Sơn to hide. Vang Cong Dinh was later conspired to be captured by security officers posing as special envoys from the South.
The bandit riots gradually subsided, and by 1962 it was completely disbanded. In 1963, the gang leaders were put on trial.

Fleece are a Canadian indie rock band, originating from Montreal. It consists of Matt Rogers (vocals/keyboard), Megan Ennenberg (guitar/vocals), Jameson Daniel (guitar), and Ethan Soil (drums). They released their first album Scavenger in 2015, and gained notoriety when Rogers' and Soil's "how to write an Alt-J song" went viral on YouTube in May 2015. They released their second album Voyager in 2017 and Stunning & Atrocious in 2021.
History
Rogers, Soil and Miller began jamming together as teenagers in Toronto during summer camp. The band was formed in 2013 when the trio left for Montreal to study at Concordia and McGill University, meeting Jonathan Bell and Colin Spratt. Their debut album, Scavenger was named after their patchy process of arranging eclectic pieces of music. In May 2015, the band uploaded "how to write an Alt-J song" on YouTube, a humorous parody of the band, which included Soil eating rice cakes during the performance. In response to the video going viral, Alt-J briefly changed their Twitter display picture to a rice cake.
Bell and Spratt left, while Ennenberg and Daniel joined between the band's second album, Voyager, which was released in January 2017. Fleece funded the album's 17-show American tour on Kickstarter.
In June 2020, the band released "So Long". The proceeds from the first month of streams were donated to the Black Youth Helpline, the Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention and the Native Women's Association of Canada.
The band reformed as a "queer quartet" for their third album, Stunning & Atrocious, which was released in August 2021. The band toured North America through the fall.
Musical style and influences
Fleece's earlier work has drawn comparisons Radiohead, The Pixies, and Tame Impala. Exclaim! drew comparisons of the band's sophomore effort to psychedelic, grunge, and Toronto jazz trio BADBADNOTGOOD. In an interview with Indie88, Rogers cited improvisation as a crucial part of their artistic process.

Critical reviews
Koimoi on reviewing the music of the soundtrack wrote that "Tu Hai makes up for a soothing hear thanks to the vocals of A R Rahman and Sanah Moidutty. It is a slow-paced song with musical arrangements pulled off quite intelligently. There is a sense of calm that this track provides to its listener and also since the film is a period drama, the lyrics are penned in pure Hindi which is quite unique considering we live in the times of 'Pyaar Ki Maa Ki Puja Karni Hai'. Tu Hai will charm you if you have a penchant for Rahman's slow numbers."
The Times of India stated that "Tu Hai is a classic Rahman number; it is soft, melodious, touches your heart with a simple tune and has the breeziness of a romantic track. Sanah scores in this minimalistic number, which lets the lyrics take center stage. Filmfare wrote that "Tu hai is a meatier, soulful song that grips you from the word go."

The Deerfield railway accident occurred on April 7, 1886, outside of Deerfield, Massachusetts. 11 people were killed after a washout caused Passenger Train No. 35 to fall 100 feet down an embankment.
Accident
Around 4:45 pm Passenger Train No. 35, made up of an engine, tender, two baggage cars (one express car and one post office car), a smoking car (belonging to the Fitchburg Railroad), two passenger coaches (one belonging to Fitchburg the other to the Troy and Boston Railroad), and a parlor car, departed North Adams, Massachusetts for Boston with 48 passengers on board. The train was traveling on the Hoosac Tunnel line, which was owned and maintained by the state and operated by the Fitchburg Railroad.
Shortly before 6 pm, the outer rail and a portion of the track between the Bardwell's Ferry and West Deerfield stations gave way due to a washout. The locomotive was wrecked and cars were thrown 100 feet down an embankment. Three of the cars caught fire almost immediately. All of the cars except for the Troy and Boston coach were destroyed. 47 of the 48 passengers were injured and 11 were killed instantly or died from their injuries.
A special train containing physicians, reporters, and others who could assist was dispatched from Greenfield, Massachusetts. The steepness of the embankment made rendering aid very difficult. The injured were transported to Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts and the deceased to Greenfield.
Investigation
The Massachusetts Railroad Commission found that the slide in the embankment was due to three faults in construction. The first fault was that wooden crib-work had been buried by dirt and rock, which led to the wood rotting away in moist earth. The second fault occurred when plans to build a culvert to drain water from a ditch on the north side of the track to the river were scrapped due to lack of funding. Lastly, the weakened southern slope of the embankment had been weighed down by broken rock that had been dumped there during the addition of a second track.

Villa Ukika is a rural area located in the commune of Cabo de Hornos, in the Antártica Chilena Province of the Magallanes Region of Chile. Located east of Puerto Williams, on Navarino Island, it is known for being the place where the descendants of the last representatives of the Yaghan people live.
History
Villa Ukika was established in 1967 after the naval authorities of Puerto Williams decided to transfer the Yaghans who inhabited the Bahía Mejillones sector. The following decade, the population of the village reached 58 inhabitants. In the same period, the acculturation of the Yaghans took place, as a result of easier access to health services, education and communications.
Towards the end of the 1990s in Villa Ukika, there were 14 houses, most of them built in wood and brass and occupied by their owners. Among the best known inhabitants of the town were sisters Úrsula and Cristina Calderón, the last native speakers of the Yaghan language.
The Yaghans residing in Villa Ukika owns a large part of the buildings on the site, as well as surrounding land.
Services
In Villa Ukika there is the "Centro de Artesanía Yagán Kipa-Ákar" — "Casa de la Mujer" in the Yaghan language, built between 2003 and 2004 and in which Yaghan handicrafts are exhibited and sold, consisting of basketry made reeds and scale replicas of the canoes used to navigate the southern channels. Gastronomy is also presented, consisting mainly of marine products.

the Staley–Taylor Plan was the name of a plan to execute the "Special War" strategy of the United States during the Vietnam War. The plan was published in May 1961, named after two drafters: economist Eugene Staley of Stanford Research Institute - Stanford University and General Maxwell D. Taylor, commander of the U.S. military in Vietnam. According to the plan, it was to be implemented in four years (1961–1965). Its goal was to "pacify South Vietnam" within 18 months, thereby ensuring the Army of the Republic of Vietnam a proactive position on the battlefield in the South.
The plan included three strategic measures:
Strengthening the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, using many aircraft and tanks to quickly destroy the armed forces of the Liberation Army, using American commanders and advisors to command combat units.
Maintain the city, and at the same time extinguish the revolutionary movement in the countryside by "pacifying" and establishing "strategic hamlets".
Trying to prevent the border from controlling the coast, cutting off aid from the North, isolating the Viet Cong.
However, it has been thwarted since 1963 with the events of the Battle of Ấp Bắc, the 1963 South Vietnamese coup, and the "strategic hamlets" could not be implemented as originally planned. Although undeclared, the plan officially ended when U.S. Marines landed in Da Nang in March 1965 to directly engage in combat in South Vietnam.
Formation
In the 1960s, the United States implemented a policy of "flexibly reacting", not going to war with the Soviet Union and the socialist system, but using wars below the normal level to deal with the tendency to demand independence with different colors and communist identity in newly independent countries.
There was a new conception that was taking shape in the United States at the time, which was to see South Vietnam as the focal point of all American interests in Southeast Asia. Thus in 1961, American research delegations flocked to South Vietnam: U.S. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson's delegation arrived in Saigon in May 1961, the delegation of economist Dr. Eugene Staley of the Stanford Research Institute arrived in Saigon in June 1961, the delegation of Maxwell D. Taylor and Walt Whitman Rostow of the U.S. Department of Defense to South Vietnam in October 1961. The South Vietnamese outcome would be where the typical war-type pilot of the "Flexible Response" global strategy was born.
The Staley–Taylor Plan published in May 1961 consisted of three phases:
Phase 1 was implemented from mid–1961, the main goal was to pacify the South by means of strategic hamlets.
Phase 2 was implemented from the beginning of 1963, restored the economy, strengthened the army, and completed the pacification.
Phase 3 was implemented until the end of 1965, developing the economy, stabilizing the South and ending the war.
The opening and decisive plan is in Phase 1 with two strategic measures:
Quickly increase the force and combat ability of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam; it was the backbone of the war according to the formula: ARVN + American weapons and equipment + American advisers.
Implement the strategic hamlet national policy. That is both a basic goal, a strategic measure, and an immediate and long-term plan to win the war in Vietnam.
The content of the plan is to pacify the situation in the South after the co-initiation event within 18 months. The Army of the Republic of Vietnam, with the help of American military advisers, weapons aid, and military firepower will assume the role of controlling South Vietnam. Strategic hamlets were set up to manage the people, prevent them from being in contact with the NLF, thereby isolating the Liberation Army support from the peasantry.
On October 18, 1961, the U.S. Government sent Taylor and Rostow, two members of the National Security Council, to lead a delegation of military and civilian experts to South Vietnam to study and reassess the specific situation and draw conclusions on the spot and propose countermeasures. The delegation proposed three options of action for the U.S. as follows:
Bringing into South Vietnam three divisions of American troops to defeat the Viet Cong.
Symbolize some American combat troops "for the purpose of establishing the U.S. presence in South Vietnam" to lift the morale of the army and the Saigon government, which is falling sharply, and also to create favorable conditions for reinforcement of American troops when needed.
Increase aid, weapons, war equipment and step up training for Saigon's armed forces to improve its combat power.
On November 3, 1961, Taylor's delegation sent to Washington the above report, which recommended a series of urgent measures to save the situation:
Send administrative advisors to join the Saigon government apparatus to take necessary measures to improve the military and political intelligence network in this government and army.
Open a large investigation in provinces throughout the South to quantify social, political, economic, intelligence, military, psychological factors... related to "counter-insurgency work" to provide more basis for more effective measures.
Increase aid, weapons, equipment and training for security and militia forces so that this force can replace regular units on "ground" tasks (land preservation), creating favorable conditions for regular units to step up offensive and mobile operations.
Assist the Saigon government in monitoring and controlling the seas and inland waterways by providing the necessary advisors, operators, and facilities for this mission.
Reorganized and increased the staffing of the U.S. military aid advisory mission.
Bringing into South Vietnam a special military force of 6,000 to 8,000 US troops to create a military presence, support military operations and, when needed, launch operations with offensive nature. In addition, the task force also serves as "as a front-line element of US forces that would be brought in if the Pacific Commander-in-Chief or SEATO emergency plans were used".
Increase aid to properly support the "expanded counter-insurgency" program.
In addition to the above general measures, the Taylor delegation also proposed a "Limited Participation Program" of the United States in the military field; sending to South Vietnam senior advisers to participate in government agencies and key ministries; establish a joint military inspection committee from the central government down to the military zones and provinces; substantially increase U.S. training personnel at all levels and in all military, administrative, economic, cultural, and social fields; deploying to South Vietnam engineering, logistics, and helicopter units within the framework of the U.S. military special forces that were previously proposed; pass. add US special forces teams to join Saigon special forces to strengthen the border area; stepped up covert offensive operations in North Vietnam and Laos, including air raids,
In order to implement the "Limited Participation Program", the Taylor delegation said that there should be a change in the mental and organizational status of the Military Aid Advisory Mission in South Vietnam. "This mission needs to be transformed from an advisory organization into something akin to - though not quite - an operational command post in a war zone." Moreover, in order to win, "the United States must become a limited participant in the war, on the one hand, must avoid the formalities and rituals of advising; on the other hand, it must avoid waging war on its own."
Deployment
The Army of the Republic of Vietnam developed very quickly under this plan, within 18 months of its implementation:
The army has 355,000 troops, of which 200,000 are regular forces equipped with modern equipment.
257 fighter aircraft.
346 armored vehicles.
2,630 U.S. advisors active in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam and 8,280 US soldiers in special forces. When participating in the war, American advisors participated in commanding each infantry company.
In early 1962, the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) was established by General Paul Harkins, replacing the Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG). by Lieutenant General Lionel C. McGarr.
By the end of 1962, there had been nearly 4,000 sweeping operations in service of the strategic hamlet program, including many large-scale sweeps such as the Sunrise Campaign, Binh Tay Campaign, Battle" Morning Star epidemic, and Autumn-Winter campaign. The goal of establishing 17,000 strategic hamlets with 10,000,000 inhabitants is carried out with top priority and considered "national policy". In 1962, there were 4,248 hamlets formed, by the end of 1962 and early 1963 there were 9,095 hamlets built to hold about 8,000,000 people, accounting for 40% of the population in the South.
Failure
This plan was copied by the Liberation Army, fully collected immediately after the Đồng Khởi Movement, from which to take countermeasures.
After the clashes with the Liberation Army at the Battle of Ấp Bắc (January 1963), and Battle of Bình Giã (December 1964), the combat capacity of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam proved that it was not sufficient enough to carry out operations, "pacification" even in danger of being repelled. The Army of the Republic of Vietnam was destroyed by battalion, battle group, regiment, including the general reserve force, facing the inevitable collapse, the morale of the soldiers was exhausted. After the defeat at Ấp Bắc and Bình Giã, the U.S. saw that this army would collapse. Secret documents of the U.S. Department of Defense recorded that Washington's frustration with the military situation increased when the ARVN suffered a conspicuous defeat in the fierce battle of Bình Giã in the southeast of Saigon. According to the U.S. news agency UPI, in the two years 1963–1964 alone, there were 160,000 deserters, in the first six months of 1965 alone, another 87,000 deserted.
Officials in the U.S. administration all agreed that the situation in South Vietnam was deteriorating. The Saigon government fell into disarray with the territory under the control of the Republic of Vietnam increasingly shrinking. As stated by the First Secretary of the Vietnamese Workers' Party at that time, Lê Duẩn, "The United States found it impossible to defeat us in a special war".
In addition, the strategic hamlets - the backbone measure to secede the Liberation Army from the people did not comply with the plan: 2,895 out of the 6,164 hamlets were completely destroyed, the rest were demolished and repeated 5,000 times. By early 1964, with a total of 4,248 strategic hamlets in the South, 3,915 hamlets had been completely destroyed. In a report sent to President Johnson on March 16, 1964, U.S. Secretary of Defense McNamara gave an overview: "Of the land of 22 provinces (out of 44 provinces), the Viet Cong controlled up to 50% or Phuoc Tuy, Viet Cong control 80%; Binh Duong 90%; Hau Nghia 90%; Long An 90%; Dinh Tuong 90%; Kien Hoa 90%; An Xuyen (Ca Mau) 85%. Cay and Dinh Thuy, Binh Khanh, and Phuoc Hiep communes are "100% red"; over 900 communes as in the case of these three communes."
After the overthrow of Ngô Đình Diệm's government, from November 1963 to June 1965, the South had dozens of coups and purges. U.S. Ambassador Taylor had to say to the generals of the Republic of Vietnam: "We Americans are fed up with these coups. From now on, we Americans cannot support you anymore if you keep doing things like that."
Entering 1965, the risk of failure of the "special war" strategy put the U.S. in a difficult situation both in Vietnam and domestically. The American leadership proposes and implements a number of new strategic decisions. From this point, the Staley–Taylor Plan was no longer valid. On March 8, 1965, when U.S. Marines (3,500 soldiers) landed in Da Nang, the Staley-Taylor plan officially ended. The Vietnam War entered a new phase, when American soldiers directly participated in the war in Vietnam and implemented the Search and Destroy Strategy of the Local War.
