# Flyback diode
## Induction at the opening of a contact {#induction_at_the_opening_of_a_contact}
According to Faraday\'s law of induction, if the current through an inductance changes, this inductance induces a voltage, so the current will flow as long as there is energy in the magnetic field. If the current can only flow through the air, the voltage is so high that the air conducts. That is why in mechanically switched circuits, the near-instantaneous dissipation which occurs without a flyback diode is often observed as an arc across the opening mechanical contacts. Energy is dissipated in this arc primarily as intense heat, which causes undesirable premature erosion of the contacts. Another way to dissipate energy is through electromagnetic radiation.
Similarly, for non-mechanical solid-state switching (i.e., a transistor), large voltage drops across an unactivated solid-state switch can destroy the component in question (either instantaneously or through accelerated wear and tear).
Some energy is also lost from the system as a whole and from the arc as a broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, in the form of radio waves and light. These radio waves can cause undesirable clicks and pops on nearby radio receivers.
To minimise the antenna-like radiation of this electromagnetic energy from wires connected to the inductor, the flyback diode should be connected as physically close to the inductor as practicable. This approach also minimises those parts of the circuit that are subject to an unwanted high-voltage --- a good engineering practice.
### Derivation
The voltage at an inductor is, by the law of electromagnetic induction and the definition of inductance:
$$V_L = - {d\Phi_B \over dt} = - L {dI \over dt}$$
If there is no flyback diode but only something with great resistance (such as the air between two metal contacts), say, `{{math|''R''<sub>2</sub>}}`{=mediawiki}, we will approximate it as:
$$V_{R_2} = R_2 \cdot I$$ If we open the switch and ignore `{{math|''V''<sub>CC</sub>}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{math|''R''<sub>1</sub>}}`{=mediawiki}, we get:
$$V_L = V_{R_2}$$ or
$$- L {dI \over dt} = R_2 \cdot I$$ which is a differential equation with the solution:
$$I(t) = I_0 \cdot e^{- {R_2 \over L} t}$$
We observe that the current will decrease faster if the resistance is high, such as with air.
Now if we open the switch with the diode in place, we only need to consider `{{math|''L''<sub>1</sub>}}`{=mediawiki}, `{{math|''R''<sub>1</sub>}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{math|''D''<sub>1</sub>}}`{=mediawiki}. For `{{math|''I'' > 0}}`{=mediawiki}, we can assume:
$$V_D = \mathrm{constant}$$ so:
$$V_L = V_{R_1} + V_D$$ which is:
$$- L {dI \over dt} = R_1 \cdot I + V_D$$ whose (first order differential equation) solution is:
$$I(t) = (I_0+{1\over R_1} V_D) \cdot e^{- {R_1 \over L} t} - {1 \over R_1} V_D$$
We can calculate the time it needs to switch off by determining for which `{{mvar|t}}`{=mediawiki} it is `{{math|1=''I''(''t'') = 0}}`{=mediawiki}.
$$t = {-L\over R_1} \cdot ln{\left({V_D \over {V_D + I_0{R_1}}}\right)}$$ If `{{math|''V''<sub>CC</sub>}}`{=mediawiki} = `{{math|''I''<sub>0</sub>}}`{=mediawiki}`{{math|''R''<sub>1</sub>}}`{=mediawiki}, then
$$t = {-L\over R_1} \cdot ln{\left({1 \over {\frac{V_{CC}}{V_D} + 1}}\right)}={L\over R_1} \cdot ln{\left({{\frac{V_{CC}}{V_D} + 1}}\right)}$$
## Applications
Flyback diodes are commonly used when semiconductor devices switch inductive loads off: in relay drivers, H-bridge motor drivers, and so on. A switched-mode power supply also exploits this effect, but the energy is not dissipated to heat and is instead used to pump a packet of additional charge into a capacitor, in order to supply power to a load.
When the inductive load is a relay, the flyback diode can noticeably delay the release of the relay by keeping the coil current flowing longer. A resistor in series with the diode will make the circulating current decay faster at the drawback of an increased reverse voltage. A zener diode in series but with reverse polarity with regard to the flyback diode has the same properties, albeit with a fixed reverse voltage increase. Both the transistor voltages and the resistor or zener diode power ratings should be checked in this case

# Cuban Adjustment Act
The **Cuban Adjustment Act** (CAA) (*Ley de Ajuste Cubano*), Public Law 89-732, is a United States federal law enacted on November 2, 1966. Passed by the 89th United States Congress and signed by President Lyndon Johnson, the legislation applies to citizens of Cuba admitted into the U.S. after January 1, 1959---the date of the Cuban Communist Revolution---and who have been present in the U.S. for at least two years (later amended to one year). Those persons, and their spouses and children, can be granted lawful permanent resident status on an expedited basis.
Since its enactment, the CAA has been a target of criticism and undergone minor modifications. During the \"thaw\" in Cuba-United States relations in the Obama administration, many thought the CAA would be repealed as an obsolete relic of the Cold War. However, the law has remained intact.
## Original legislation {#original_legislation}
In the 1960s, tens of thousands of Cubans were fleeing the revolution and coming to the U.S. by varied means, some even by makeshift rafts. To obtain lawful permanent residency (often called a \"green card\") in the U.S., they would have been required, under the provisions of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, to travel back to their home country to request a formal entry visa. Since that was not politically feasible, the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) devised a process by which these immigrants could regularize, i.e., \"adjust\" in legal terminology, their U.S. resident status without needing to return to Cuba.
On September 19, 1966, members of the 89th U.S. House of Representatives approved, by a 300-25 vote, H.R. 15183: \"An Act to adjust the status of Cuban refugees to that of lawful permanent residents of the United States\". The CAA\'s legislative journey culminated in its enactment on November 2, 1966.
At the heart of the CAA is a special set of rules for Cuban immigrants who can be fast-tracked to permanent residency with the approval of the U.S. Attorney General (and five years after obtaining a green card, they can become U.S. citizens). In addition to enjoying reduced wait times and a waiver on most documentation requirements, Cubans are exempt from immigration quotas, and are exempt from the following mandates imposed on other immigrants:
- Must enter the U.S. at a legal port of entry.
- Must show a family-based or employment-based reason for residency.
- Must not be a public charge.

# Cuban Adjustment Act
## Other legal modes of migration {#other_legal_modes_of_migration}
Without the CAA, Cubans can legally migrate to the U.S. through an assortment of programs that include immigrant visa issuance, resettlement for asylum seekers, and lotteries.
Immigrant visas are issued to the parents, spouses, and unmarried children of U.S. citizens as soon as the immigrant visa petition is approved by the U.S. Citizienship and Immigration Services. Immigrant visas are also available to persons who qualify for family or employment-based visas under the preference system that controls numerically limited immigration to the U.S. The preference system allows lawful permanent residents of the U.S. to bring their spouses, minor children, and unmarried adult children into the country. The waiting period for preference visas varies by category.
Under the U.S.-Cuba Migration Accords, the U.S. issues some 20,000 travel documents annually to Cubans for permanent resettlement in the U.S. Those who have been persecuted in Cuba, or fear persecution due to their religious or political beliefs, may apply at the U.S. Embassy in Havana for asylum via the in-country refugee program.
The Special Cuban Migration Program (SCMP), or \"Cuban lottery\", was open to all adult Cubans between the ages of 18 and 55 years of age who resided in Cuba regardless of whether they qualified for U.S. immigrant visa or refugee programs. The lottery provided an additional avenue of legal migration to a diverse group of Cubans, including those who might not have close relatives in the U.S. The last registration period was held from June 15 to July 15, 1998. The SCMP was superseded in 2007 by the Cuban Family Reunification Parole Program (CFRP).
Cubans can also participate in the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DIV) program, sometimes known as the \"green card lottery\". Under its provisions, 55,000 visas are made available annually to eligible applicants from around the world. Cubans have consistently been among the biggest winners of the lottery.

## Modifications to the CAA {#modifications_to_the_caa}
The original CAA permitted Cubans to obtain green cards if they were present in the U.S. for at least two years. In legislation passed in October 1976, the residency duration was reduced to one year.
Shortly after the Refugee Act of 1980 (\[//www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-94/pdf/STATUTE-94-Pg102.pdf Pub. L. 96-212\]) was passed, over 100,000 Cubans fled to the U.S. The Carter administration, fearing the Refugee Act had contributed to this spike in asylum seekers, temporarily paused the Refugee Act\'s enforcement. Once the influx of Cubans subsided, the legislation was resumed.
The CAA initially allowed Cubans who traveled as far as U.S. territorial waters to continue on with their journey and settle in the U.S. In May 1995, the Clinton administration announced an agreement with the Cuban government to implement a so-called \"wet foot, dry foot policy\". It limited CAA\'s scope to only those Cubans who successfully reached \"dry land\"; all others who were interdicted at sea would be returned to the island.
In the waning months of Obama\'s presidency, Cuban migration to the U.S. surged because many feared the CAA would be eliminated as part of the President\'s efforts to normalize diplomatic relations with Cuba. However, no such drastic change occurred. In late 2015, Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) introduced legislation to repeal the CAA, but his bill gained little support from Cuban-Americans and never came up for a House vote.
The only CAA modification implemented by Obama took place in January 2017 when he abolished the \"wet foot, dry foot policy\". This meant that all unauthorized Cuban migrants would be repatriated to Cuba, even those who managed to arrive at the U.S. shore. The goal was to discourage Cubans from attempting the perilous voyage at sea since there was no promise of reward at the end. The CAA still remained in effect, but one of its core components had been eliminated.

## Criticisms
Since its enactment, the Cuban Adjustment Act has been a target of criticism for a variety of reasons:
1. **It unfairly grants Cubans preferential treatment**: The CAA has stirred resentment as to why Cubans enjoy \"broader protections than any other immigrants arriving in the United States\". El Salvador Foreign Minister Hugo Martínez said, \"We see it as a double standard. It\'s a policy that allows one set of migrants to be treated in a privileged manner and another set of migrants in a discriminatory fashion.\"
2. **It once served a purpose, but is now obsolete**: Some critics claim that \"repeal of this Cold War relic of immigration policy is long overdue.\" It was intended for political asylum seekers, but \"the law is being abused by recent waves of Cuban arrivals who regularly travel back and forth between Cuba and the United States as economic, not political, refugees.\"
3. **It has become a legal loophole exploited by unscrupulous persons**: An investigation by South Florida\'s *Sun Sentinel* newspaper alleged that the CAA had enabled a veritable crime syndicate: \"\[A\] small cadre of Cubans specializing in Medicare and insurance fraud have bilked American taxpayers and businesses out of more than \$2 billion since 1994. Even when caught and prosecuted (many, if not most, flee back to Cuba before capture), they cannot be deported, because Cuba refuses to accept them.\"
In addition, the law has been harshly criticized by the Cuban government for \"encouraging illegal emigration from the island\". In his autobiography, Fidel Castro said:
Still, the CAA has its staunch defenders, and it has been difficult to find sufficient consensus in the U.S. to repeal it

# Licario
**Licario**, called **Ikarios** (*Ἰκάριος*) by the Greek chroniclers, was a Byzantine admiral of Italian origin in the 13th century. At odds with the Latin barons (the \"triarchs\") of his native Euboea, he entered the service of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos (r. 1259--1282), and reconquered many of the Aegean islands for him in the 1270s. For his exploits, he was rewarded with Euboea as a fief and rose to the rank of *megas konostaulos* and *megas doux*, the first foreigner to do so.
## Biography
### Origins and early life {#origins_and_early_life}
Licario was born in Karystos in Latin-held Euboea (Negroponte), from a Vicentian father and a local woman. He was of humble origin, but able and ambitious. Serving as a knight under the Latin triarch Giberto II da Verona, he managed to win the heart of Felisa, sister of Giberto and widow of another triarch, Narzotto dalle Carceri. The match was met with disapproval by Felisa\'s family. They secretly married, but the marriage was cancelled by her relatives. Fleeing from their wrath, Licario sought refuge in the fort of Anemopylae near Cavo D\'Oro. He repaired the strong fortress, assembled a small group of followers, and began raiding the surrounding estates, belonging to the island\'s nobles.
### Entry into Byzantine service {#entry_into_byzantine_service}
At that time, the newly restored Byzantine Empire, under the leadership of Michael VIII Palaiologos, sought to recover Euboea, which was the major Latin insular possession in the Aegean Sea, and the main naval base, not only of the Venetian fleet, but also of Latin piratical activity directed against his lands. Furthermore, along with the Principality of Achaea it presented the major obstacle to his complete recovery of Greece. Already in 1269/70, in retaliation for raids against the coasts of Asia Minor, a Byzantine fleet under Alexios Doukas Philanthropenos had attacked and captured many Latin nobles near the town of Oreos.
Facing the persistent refusal of the island\'s barons to treat with him, desiring vengeance and eager for glory and wealth, Licario presented himself to Philanthropenos, offering his services. He, in turn, took him to the Emperor, who was eager to use the services of talented Westerners whenever he could, and had already bankrolled several Latin corsairs in his service. Licario became the Emperor\'s vassal according to Western feudal rules, and in turn was strengthened with imperial troops. Under the leadership of Licario, the Byzantines could now mount a serious attempt to conquer the island, while their forces were further augmented by many defections from the Greek population.
In 1272/73, the Byzantine forces, now under Licario\'s command, launched a campaign that took the fortresses of Larmena, La Cuppa, Clisura and Manducho. The Lombard triarchs then appealed to their liege-lord, Prince William II of Achaea, and to Dreux de Beaumont, marshal of the Angevin Kingdom of Sicily. William was able to recover La Cuppa, but de Beaumont was defeated in a pitched battle and was subsequently recalled by Charles of Anjou. Between then and 1275, according to the Venetian chronicler Marino Sanudo, Licario himself served in the Byzantine army in Asia Minor, where he scored a victory against the Turks.

## Biography
### Conquest of Euboea and campaigns in the Aegean {#conquest_of_euboea_and_campaigns_in_the_aegean}
In 1276, following their great victory over the Lombard triarchs of Negroponte at the Battle of Demetrias, the Byzantines renewed their offensive in Euboea. Licario attacked his native Karystos, seat of the southern triarchy, and took it, after a long siege, in the same year. For this success, he was rewarded by Michael VIII with the whole island as a fief, and a noble Greek wife with a rich dowry. In turn, Licario pledged to provide 200 knights to the Emperor. Gradually, Licario reduced the Latin strongholds on the island, until, by 1278, he had seized almost all of it except for the capital, the city of Negroponte (Chalkis).
For his successes, Licario was rewarded with the post of *megas konostaulos*, head of the Latin mercenaries, and eventually appointed as *megas doux* after Philanthropenos\'s death in c. 1276; the first foreigner to be thus honoured. He commanded the Byzantine navy in a series of expeditions against the Latin-held Aegean islands. The first to fall was Skopelos, whose fortress was believed to be impregnable. Licario, however, knew that it lacked water supplies. Thus, he attacked it during the hot and dry summer of 1277 and forced its surrender. Its lord, Filippo Ghisi, was captured and sent to Constantinople; his other possessions, the islands of Skyros, Skiathos and Amorgos, were also taken soon after. After that, Licario went on to capture the islands of Kythera and Antikythera off the southern coast of the Morea, and later Kea, Astypalaia, and Santorini in the Cyclades. The great island of Lemnos was also captured, although its lord, Paolo Navigajoso, withstood a three-year siege before surrendering.
Finally, in late 1279 or early 1280, he returned to Euboea, landing in the northern town of Oreos and moving south towards Negroponte. His forces by now included many Spanish and Catalan mercenaries (the first time the latter are mentioned in Greece) and even former adherents of Manfred of Sicily, who had fled to Greece after Manfred\'s defeat and death at the hands of Charles of Anjou. As he reached Negroponte, the triarch Giberto II da Verona, Felisa\'s brother, and John I de la Roche, the Duke of Athens, who were present at the city, rode out with their forces to meet him. The two armies met at the village of Vatondas, northeast of Negroponte. The battle resulted in a major victory for Licario: John de la Roche was unhorsed and captured, while Giberto was either killed (according to Sanudo) or captured and taken along with de la Roche as a prisoner to Constantinople, where, according to Nikephoros Gregoras, the sight of the hated renegade, moving triumphantly among the assembled Byzantine court, caused him to drop dead.
After Vatondas, Negroponte seemed about to fall into Licario\'s hands too. The city, however, was quickly reinforced by Jacques de la Roche, lord of Argos and Nauplia, who, along with the energetic Venetian *bailo* of Negroponte, Niccolo Morosini Rosso, led its defence. Facing determined resistance and possibly fearing an intervention of John I Doukas, ruler of Thessaly, Licario was forced to raise the siege. Licario then turned to reducing the remaining Latin strongholds on the island, becoming its total master except for the city of Negroponte itself, and ruling it from the fortress of Fillia. His fleet carried out further naval expeditions: the islands of Sifnos and Serifos were taken, and Licario\'s ships raided the Morea.
Licario himself sailed to Constantinople, presenting Emperor Michael VIII with his captives. Then, at the height of his fame and success in c. 1280, Licario disappears from the sources, and his subsequent fate is unknown. Most likely he lived in Constantinople and died there.
## Assessment
His conquests proved temporary only, as the Byzantines were gradually evicted by the Venetians and the other Latin lords. Even in Euboea, Licario\'s major gain and personal fief, the triarchs managed to complete their reconquest of the entire island by 1296. Nevertheless, Licario proved one of the most successful military leaders in Michael VIII\'s employ, and his victories greatly enhanced the emperor\'s own standing and prestige amongst the Latins. The historian Deno John Geanakoplos ranks him, along with Michael\'s brother John Palaiologos, as the two men who caused the most damage to the Latin rulers of Greece

# Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy
***Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy*** is a cyberpunk-themed adventure game developed by Trecision and Team17 and published by MicroProse in Europe and DreamCatcher Interactive in North America. It was later ported to the Amiga by ClickBOOM.
## Premise
The game takes place in the futuristic Union City in the year 2099. The player assumes the role of an investigator named Joshua Reev. His long-time friend, Hugh Martens (who is now in charge of the city), summons him to help with a matter of major political importance. It seems that a group of terrorists are threatening the city, and Martens\' reporter friend Simon Ruby (who was investigating) has vanished. Martens has called on Reev to investigate.
## Gameplay
*Nightlong* is a point-and-click adventure game, predominantly focusing on inventory management and puzzle-solving.
The game is played mostly from the third-person perspective showing Joshua Reev and his surrounding area. As with many games of the genre, non-playable characters appear in some areas and can be interacted with. The navigation interface uses left-click to examine an object, right-click to use, interact with, or combine objects in the game or in Josh\'s inventory. Hotspots are indicated with on-screen text, including area exits. They are labelled as \"Go to\...\" if Josh has yet to explore the area.
Background music and sound effects are unobtrusive. There is little dialogue between characters, although the game itself is narrated by Josh as he interacts with the items, areas and characters. If Josh has nothing to say, he will shrug. Strong language infrequently appears in Josh\'s narration.
The game has backgrounds that appear to be a mixture of texture-mapped and hand-drawn graphics. An inventory bar is accessible at the bottom of the screen, and the Escape key is used for the control menu.
## Reception
The game received mainly mixed reviews, with reviewers praising the graphics and sound while criticising the plot and complexity of some of the puzzles. The game sold well enough to warrant the later Amiga conversion and a patch release allowing it to be played on Windows XP.
Due to its science fiction setting, *Nightlong* received an overt recommendation from The Sci-Fi Channel (now SyFy), to the point of Sci-Fi\'s logo being present on the box art. Along with *MechCommander*, it was one of the few games to ever be officially recommended by Sci-Fi

# T Choithram International SA v Pagarani
was a decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on appeal from the British Virgin Islands in relation to the vesting of trust property in a trustee.
## Facts
Mr Thakurdas Choithram Pagarani wanted to start a foundation called the Choithram International Foundation. He was dying of cancer. He drew up a trust deed, including himself a trustee. He travelled from his business based in Dubai and had a ceremony at his son\'s home in London. On 17 February 1992, with people gathered at his bedside, Mr Pagarani announced he was transferring his money to a Jersey trust for his proposed philanthropic foundation. Witnesses differed in the precise words, but the generally accepted substance as to what he was thought to have said was: \"I now give all my wealth to the Trust\" or \"I have given everything to the Trust\". Mr Pagarani executed the trust deed in front of three trustees (who also signed), his accountant and the First Secretary of the Indian High Commission. He told the group accountant, Mr Param, that he knew what to do to transfer all balances to the foundation. There were to be three more trustees (who signed shortly afterwards), and Mr Pagarani himself was to be a seventh trustee. Those present testified that Mr Pagarani made an immediate absolute gift to the Foundation of all his shareholdings and credit balances in four British Virgin Island companies. But then he died before actually executing the documents to transfer legal title to the assets to the trustees. Some of his children contended the gift was imperfect and unenforceable. The four BVI companies in fact altered the share registers later the same day. Mr Pagarani had also prepared a will, but had not signed it. The share transfer documents were also unsigned by Mr Pagarani. The relatives who were trustees of the Foundation claimed that the gift to the Foundation was valid, and that the shares in the companies had not been transferred properly in the manner specified by law in the International Business Companies Act. Other people who stood to inherit challenged the foundation\'s claim.

# T Choithram International SA v Pagarani
## Advice
### Court of Appeal {#court_of_appeal}
The Court of Appeal of the British Virgin Islands, upholding the judge at first instance, held that the trust failed. It took the view that a perfected gift could only be made in one of two ways, viz.
1. by a transfer of the gifted asset to the donee, accompanied by an intention in the donor to make a gift; or
2. by the donor declaring himself to be a trustee of the gifted property for the donee.
In case 1 above, the donor must have done everything necessary to be done which is within his own power to do in order to transfer the gifted asset to the donee. If the donor has not done so, the gift is incomplete since the donee has no equity to perfect an imperfect gift, for which there is a long line of authority. Moreover, the court will not give a benevolent construction so as to treat ineffective words of outright gift as taking effect as if the donor had declared himself a trustee for the donee, see *Milroy v Lord* (1862) 4 De G F & J 264.
So in this case Mr Pagarani used words of gift to the Foundation (not words declaring himself a trustee) -- unless he transferred the shares and deposits so as to vest title in all the Trustees, he had not done all that he could in order to effect the gift; so under the law as it had previously been understood, the gift would have failed. Further it would not be possible to treat Mr Pagarani\'s words of gift as a declaration of trust, because they make no reference to trusts. Therefore, if the case does not fall within either of the possible methods by which a complete gift can be made, then the gift should have failed.
### Privy Council {#privy_council}
Lord Browne-Wilkinson delivered the advice of the Privy Council.
The Privy Council advised that the fairness required by equity meant the fact that the trust property was vested in one trustee (Mr Pagarani himself) at the time of the gift was sufficient to make the conveyance to the trust valid. Lord Browne-Wilkinson said the most important question was this: on the basis that Mr Pagarani intended to make an immediate absolute gift \"to the Foundation\", but had not vested the gifted property in all the trustees of the Foundation, are the trusts of the Foundation trust deed enforceable against the deposits and the shares, or was it (as the judge at first instance and the Court of Appeal had held) a case where there has been an imperfect gift which cannot be enforced against Mr Pagarani\'s estate whatever his intentions might have been?
It expressed \"some doubt\" whether *Bridge v Bridge* had been correctly decided when it said that vesting of property in one trustee among many was insufficient, but they distinguished the case on technical grounds.

# T Choithram International SA v Pagarani
## Significance
Most academic commentary was to the effect that the decision made new law, notwithstanding the comments of the Privy Council to the contrary. Suggestions have also been made to the effect that the Privy Council was prepared to bend the law to prevent the intention of the donor being frustrated, and the charitable foundation losing such a large bequest. The logic behind the decision is slightly fuzzy, relying more upon notions of fairness than legal rules, and it has been questioned in some quarters whether it would be followed in similar less clear cut circumstances. One commentator has suggested politely that in the decision \"the courts are not entirely consistent with their message in relation to equity\'s power to perfect imperfect gifts\".
Background
Mr Pagarani was born in 1914 in India. He was a devout Hindu. In 1928 he married his first wife, Lalibai Thakurdas Pagarani, by whom he had six daughters. In about 1937 Mr Pagarani left India and eventually established a supermarket business in Sierra Leone, Lalibai and their children remaining in India. In Sierra Leone he met and in 1944 married Virginia Harding. They had eight children together, including three sons. Mr Pagarani remained in Sierra Leone until the 1980s but used to return to India to visit his Indian family and those members of his Sierra Leone family whom he had taken to India to be brought up according to Indian ways and customs. The businesses carried on by Mr Pagarani were outstandingly successful and spread widely throughout the world. They were usually named \"T. Choithram and Sons\" and were often known simply as \"Choithrams\". In 1989 Mr Pagarani brought most of his business under the umbrella of the first various offshore companies (including T Choithram International SA), in effect, holding companies. He was not the sole owner of the shares in those companies, but he held a majority share.
Throughout his life Mr Pagarani gave to charity, amounting to more than a million US dollars

# 8th Division (German Empire)
The **8th Division** (*8. Division*) was a unit of the Prussian/German Army. It was formed in Erfurt in November 1816 as a brigade and became a division on September 5, 1818. The division was subordinated in peacetime to the IV Army Corps (*IV. Armeekorps*). The division was disbanded in 1919 during the demobilization of the German Army after World War I. The division was recruited primarily in the Province of Saxony, also known as Prussian Saxony and the smaller states of the German Empire around Prussian Saxony.
## Combat chronicle {#combat_chronicle}
The division fought in the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, including the Battle of Königgrätz. In the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, the division saw action in the battles of Beaumont and Sedan, and in the Siege of Paris.
The division was mobilized as the 8th Infantry Division in August 1914 and sent to the west for the opening campaigns of the war. It fought in the Battle of the Marne and then participated in the Race to the Sea. The division then spent time in the trenches, and fought in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. During the German spring offensive of 1918, the division fought in the Battle of the Lys. The division was rated a first-class division with high morale by Allied intelligence.
## Order of battle in the Franco-Prussian War {#order_of_battle_in_the_franco_prussian_war}
During wartime, the 8th Division, like other regular German divisions, was redesignated an infantry division. The organization of the 8th Infantry Division in 1870 at the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War was as follows:
- 15\. Infanterie Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 31
- Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 71
- 16\. Infanterie Brigade
- Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 86
- Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 96
- Husaren-Regiment Nr. 12
## Pre-World War I organization {#pre_world_war_i_organization}
German divisions underwent various organizational changes after the Franco-Prussian War. The 8th Division lost all of its original infantry regiments to other divisions and received replacement regiments. The organization of the division in 1914, shortly before the outbreak of World War I, was as follows:
- 15.Infanterie-Brigade:
- Füsilier-Regiment General-Feldmarschall Graf Blumenthal (1. Magdeburgisches) Nr. 36
- Anhaltisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 93
- 16.Infanterie-Brigade:
- 4\. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 72
- 8\. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 153
- 8\. Kavallerie-Brigade
- Kürassier-Regiment von Seydlitz (Magdeburgisches) Nr. 7
- Thüringisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 12
- 8\. Feldartillerie-Brigade
- Torgauer Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 74
- Mansfelder Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 75
- Landwehr-Inspektion Haale an der Saale
The 36th Fusilier Regiment and the 72nd Thuringian Infantry Regiment were recruited in Prussian Saxony. The 93rd Infantry was the regiment of the Duchy of Anhalt. The 153rd Thuringian Infantry Regiment was the regiment of the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg, but also included a battalion from Prussian Saxony.
## Order of battle on mobilization {#order_of_battle_on_mobilization}
On mobilization in August 1914 at the beginning of World War I, most divisional cavalry, including brigade headquarters, was withdrawn to form cavalry divisions or split up among divisions as reconnaissance units. Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters. The 8th Division was again renamed the 8th Infantry Division. Its initial wartime organization was as follows:
- 15.Infanterie-Brigade:
- Füsilier-Regiment General-Feldmarschall Graf Blumenthal (1. Magdeburgisches) Nr. 36
- Anhaltisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 93
- Magdeburgisches Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 4
- 16.Infanterie-Brigade:
- 4\. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 72
- 8\. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 153
- \"1/2\" Magdeburgisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 10
- 8\. Feldartillerie-Brigade:
- Torgauer Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 74
- Mansfelder Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 75
- 2./Magdeburgisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 4
- 3./Magdeburgisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 4
During the Battle of the Somme, the division was commanded by General der Infanterie Ernst II. Herzog von Sachsen-Altenburg.
## Late World War I organization {#late_world_war_i_organization}
Divisions underwent many changes during the war, with regiments moving from division to division, and some being destroyed and rebuilt. During the war, most divisions became triangular - one infantry brigade with three infantry regiments rather than two infantry brigades of two regiments (a \"square division\"). An artillery commander replaced the artillery brigade headquarters, the cavalry was further reduced, the engineer contingent was increased, and a divisional signals command was created. The 8th Infantry Division\'s order of battle on October 31, 1918, was as follows:
- 16.Infanterie-Brigade:
- 4\. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 72
- Anhaltisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 93
- 8\. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 153
- 5.Eskadron/Magdeburgisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 10
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 8:
- Torgauer Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 74
- I.Bataillon/Reserve-Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 1
- Stab Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 118:
- 2./Magdeburgisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 4
- 5./Magdeburgisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 4
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 8

Pandit later told Pupul Jayakar, Indira Gandhi\'s friend and biographer, that Padmaja Naidu and Nehru lived together for many years. Nehru did not marry Padmaja because he did not want to hurt his daughter, Indira. However, Padmaja never married Nehru in the hope that he would propose one day. After retiring, Padmaja lived until her death in 1975 in a bungalow on the Teen Murti Bhavan estate, Prime Minister Nehru\'s official residence and later a museum dedicated to his memory.

# Meteor Mission II
***Meteor Mission II*** (written as ***Meteor Mission 2*** on the title screen) is a clone of the Taito arcade game *Lunar Rescue* released by Big Five Software for the TRS-80 home computer in 1982. It was written by Big Five co-founders Bill Hogue and Jeff Konyu.
## Gameplay
The game is similar in concept to *Lunar Lander* but adds a rescue element. The initial goal is to navigate a ship through a moving meteor belt and land on one of several landing pads. A small figure runs out from the side of the screen, enters the ship, and then the player must navigate and fire back through the meteor field and dock with the mothership.
## Development
The game was the fifth of seven arcade clones programmed for the TRS-80 by Bill Hogue and Jeff Konyu, who left the TRS-80 platform in 1982. Hogue previously wrote and published an unrelated game called *Meteor Mission* that was withdrawn from the market. He would later that year create the platform game *Miner 2049er* for the Atari 8-bit computers.
## Reception
Ian Chadwick reviewed *Meteor Mission II* in *Ares Magazine* #13 and commented that \"the challenge is limited and the game is really not terribly exciting. This is prime stuff for the younger set but otherwise pale in comparison to other efforts\".
A review in *80-U.S.* stated that \"the graphics in *Meteor Mission II* are very good\", but that \"sound effects are not very fancy\". In the conclusion, the reviewer called it \"well worth the \$15.95\" and \"impossible to master to a point where it lacks challenge\".
In a 2012 retrospective, *Gamasutra* wrote that \"\'inspired by\' the early Taito classic *Lunar Rescue*, this Big Five Software effort remains a compelling gameplay experience\"

# Leeds United Football Club Limited
**Leeds United Football Club Limited**, founded 4 May 2007, is a limited company, the directors of which are Ken Bates, Shaun Harvey and Mark Taylor. The company purchased Leeds United A.F.C. via a creditors vote after the club entered administration, but this ownership was challenged by HM Revenue & Customs and the club was subsequently put up for sale by the administrators KPMG.
## Entering administration {#entering_administration}
Leeds United entered voluntary administration on 4 May 2007, thus incurring a 10-point deduction which confirmed the club\'s relegation to League One. Administration had been predicted for some time, due to crippling debts created during Peter Ridsdale\'s chairmanship. For his part, Ridsdale denied any of the current situation was his fault, only days after having admitted it was a mistake to allow the then-manager David O\'Leary to spend so lavishly on players. Ken Bates, however, blamed Leeds\' financial situation firmly on Ridsdale and his board.
## Bates is back {#bates_is_back}
KPMG Restructuring were appointed as administrators of Leeds United and, within minutes of entering administration, the club was sold to *Leeds United Football Club Limited*. Had the club not voluntarily entered administration, they would have been forced into liquidation on 25 June 2007 by Her Majesty\'s Revenue and Customs, to whom the club owe £6 million.
## Future ownership {#future_ownership}
On 6 May 2007, Don Revie\'s son Duncan announced that he was in the process of forming a consortium to buy the club saying \"I\'ve tried to ignore my feelings for a long time as I know the aggravation needed to put things right. But when things get this bad, I can\'t ignore it. My feelings run too deep. I am interested in trying to get Leeds back where they belong, which is in the top six of the Premiership. I\'ve held talks with some influential people and the feedback has been good. I will be holding more talks in the next few weeks\" adding on 13 May 2007 that he would be calling Bates the following day regarding his bid. Simon Morris also launched a rival bid to Ken Bates\' worth £10 million in hope of the creditors and football league approving his bid above Ken\'s. The bid included eventual plans to build a new 50,000 seater stadium as part of a \'world class leisure venue\', as well as providing £25million in funds to stabilise the troubled club. It was revealed that a large amount of Leeds\' debt was owed to many ex-players whom left up to three years prior to the club entering administration, £18 million of the £35m was however owed to three companies, and £6 million owed to HMRC Following the announcement that the CVA would be heard and voted upon by the clubs creditors on 1 June 2007, the club\'s previous chairman Gerald Krasner offered to represent the club\'s creditors free of charge to stop Bates from re-gaining control of the club, after it was revealed that each creditor would receive 1p for every pound they were owed if Bates\' bid was successful. The deal however contained a clause that this would rise substantially if the club attained promotion the Premiership within the next five seasons (before 2012--13). On 21 May 2007, 32 of the 36 players in the Leeds squad agreed to defer their wages until the club had emerged from administration; the remaining four were paid by the administrators. On 23 May 2007, Revie provided proof of funds backing his bid making three bids for the creditors to decide between. Ken Bates stated after this rival bid that his bid will be the only one to save Leeds from annihilation. On the day before the CVA, KPMG revealed that there were five offers in total on the table for Leeds United including, Bates\', Morris\' and Revie\'s, however KPMG stated they expected Bates\' offer to be accepted. On 1 June 2007, 75.02% of the creditors voted in favour of Ken Bates\' bid, however it was so close a recount was scheduled for the following Monday. The meeting intended to decide the fate of the club was prolonged due to \"heated objections\" to the sale process and there was some debate on whether one of the four other bids would be better for creditors. Simon Morris revealed on 2 June 2007 that he was improving his offer to 40x that of Bates\' in order to try to secure CVA approval in his favour, with creditors receiving 20p in the pound straight away and 20p in the pound over a set period of time. Morris\' bid was too late however, with a recount only being due on the following Monday and not another vote. The recount ended in Bates\' favour with 75.20% of the vote going his way meaning Bates now had full control of the club. A period of 28 days still hung over the club, to allow any appeal against Bates regaining control to be lodged, and former Leeds director Melvyn Levi has hinted that this could occur. The 28-day period also stopped any player transfers from occurring.

## CVA challenge {#cva_challenge}
One day before the 28-day period was due to end, Bates altered his offer to ensure it was not challenged. He altered the clause stating that if Leeds made the premiership in five years then the creditors would receive an extra 30p in the pound, extending this period of time to 10 years, and increased the amount they would receive from 1p in the pound to 8p in the pound straight away. The 28-day period was due to come to a close on 3 July 2007 at 4 pm (BST). With just minutes to spare HM Revenue & Customs challenged the CVA. This left a very uncertain future and possibly liquidation of the club. Bates had previously stated \"If there is a legal challenge, it could take two or three months to get to court and be decided. In the meantime, who is going to pay to run the club? So far it\'s been funded by the \'new Leeds\', but if there is a challenge, the \'new Leeds\' won\'t do it because it\'s a risk. The implications are that the club would close down. It would mean liquidation. Leeds United would cease to exist, and the loss of 500 jobs would be a further drain on government resources.\" With the intention to challenge the CVA announced by HMRC, Simon Franks announced he was determined to buy Leeds United through his Redbus investment vehicle. He commented \"We are absolutely committed to gaining control of Leeds United and to rebuilding the club, We have already told the liquidator that we will cover short term liquidity problems and that will be standing by our bid and will increase it given certain information. Our bid was significantly better than Ken Bates\' and we are in a position to move very quickly if we are offered the right commercial terms.\" Following the challenge by HMRC the club was put up for sale by KPMG, with only offers before 5pm (BST) on Monday 9 July 2007 being accepted. Former Leeds commercial director Adam Pearson also stated he intended to make a bid for Leeds however Ken Bates has stated that he will take legal action if any other bid than his own is successful. After the deadline had passed it was revealed that Simon Franks and Simon Morris had joined forces to bid for the club. After Much deliberation KPMG revealed that once again they had chosen Ken Bates\' bid. The league eventually sanctioned the sale to Bates without the club going through a CVA under the \"exceptional circumstances rule\" but imposed a 15-point deduction due to not following football league rules on clubs entering administration. On 31 August 2007, HMRC decided not to pursue their legal challenge any further therefore accepting Bates\' final offer.

## 15-point deduction appeal and legal challenge {#point_deduction_appeal_and_legal_challenge}
After an appeal against the 15 point deduction was rejected by both the Football League and the FA, LUFC Limited stated that they would seek legal advice in regards to overturning the penalty imposed. On 23 November Leeds United requested that their 15-point deduction to be adjudicated by the High Court rather than the Football Association after having failed in two requests to the FA to set up an independent commission to review that decision. The Leeds Board Commented \"In effect, the same individual confirmed his own earlier decision, There was no independent review.\" This request was however also rejected by the F.A. Leeds eventually served the Football League with a writ for the points deduction challenge to be heard in the high court however on the final day available to respond to the writ the Football League offered Leeds a closed doors arbitration hearing instead. The panel was made up of Peter Cadman, who had chaired past Premier League disciplinary commissions, Peter Leaver, the former Premier League chief executive, and chaired by Sir Philip Otton a High Court Judge experienced in football legal matters. Leeds accepted this and after the panel heard both sides of the argument between 16 and 21 April 2008 they eventually returned a decision on 1 May. The decision returned denied Leeds any points return. Two of the main reasons given for the rejection by the three man arbitration panel include the impact of a reinstatement of any points on other teams near the top of League One and the delay in bringing the matter to arbitration. The Arbitration Panel released [short](http://www.football-league.premiumtv.co.uk/staticFiles/4b/ec/0,,10794~126027,00.pdf)`{{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}`{=mediawiki} and [extended](https://web.archive.org/web/20080724083737/http://www.football-league.premiumtv.co.uk/staticFiles/4c/ec/0%2C%2C10794~126028%2C00.pdf) documents detailing the final decision.
## First 14 months of operation {#first_14_months_of_operation}
On 27 November 2008, it was revealed that in their first 14 months of operation under the guidance of Leeds United Football Club Limited the club had made a profit of operating profit of £902,000 before the inclusion of player trading from a turnover of £23,249,000. Once player trading had been included this profit rose to £4.5 million. This was in stark contrast to the financial year to June 2006 from the previous club owners *Leeds United Association Football Club Limited* whom lost £4.5 million and had debts approaching £25 million.

# Soleto Map
The **Soleto Map** is a possibly ancient map depicting Salento and scratched onto a fragment of a terracotta pot (an ostrakon). While the ostrakon itself is undoubtedly ancient, serious doubts have been raised about the age of the map.
## Background
The map was discovered in Soleto (southern Italy) by Belgian archaeologist Thierry van Compernolle of Montpellier University on August 21, 2003. Scratched into a pottery fragment that dates back to 500 BC, the map includes letters derived from a Greek script. The languages expressed on the map are both Greek and Messapian. Moreover, the Soleto Map describes the city of Taranto (called Taras), as well as other cities of Salento such as Soleto, Leuca, Ugento, and Otranto. The map went on public display in 2005 at the Archaeological National Museum of Taranto.
## Controversy
There have been strong arguments that the map is a forgery. In the January/February 2006 issue of the Dutch newspaper *Geschiedenis Magazine*, Dutch archaeologist Douwe Yntema of Vrije University in Amsterdam found the authenticity of the map questionable. According to Yntema, the map looks like a school atlas with placenames engraved with north at the top. Moreover, the Soleto Map shows the towns as points rather than house symbols found on other ancient maps. Finally, the engravings follow the precise borders of the ostrakon itself, which suggests that the map was made after the pot was broken

# Admissible representation
In mathematics, **admissible representations** are a well-behaved class of representations used in the representation theory of reductive Lie groups and locally compact totally disconnected groups. They were introduced by Harish-Chandra.
## Real or complex reductive Lie groups {#real_or_complex_reductive_lie_groups}
Let *G* be a connected reductive (real or complex) Lie group. Let *K* be a maximal compact subgroup. A continuous representation (π, *V*) of *G* on a complex Hilbert space *V* is called **admissible** if π restricted to *K* is unitary and each irreducible unitary representation of *K* occurs in it with finite multiplicity. The prototypical example is that of an irreducible unitary representation of *G*.
An admissible representation π induces a $(\mathfrak{g},K)$-module which is easier to deal with as it is an algebraic object. Two admissible representations are said to be **infinitesimally equivalent** if their associated $(\mathfrak{g},K)$-modules are isomorphic. Though for general admissible representations, this notion is different than the usual equivalence, it is an important result that the two notions of equivalence agree for unitary (admissible) representations. Additionally, there is a notion of unitarity of $(\mathfrak{g},K)$-modules. This reduces the study of the equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of *G* to the study of infinitesimal equivalence classes of admissible representations and the determination of which of these classes are infinitesimally unitary. The problem of parameterizing the infinitesimal equivalence classes of admissible representations was fully solved by Robert Langlands and is called the Langlands classification.
## Totally disconnected groups {#totally_disconnected_groups}
Let *G* be a locally compact totally disconnected group (such as a reductive algebraic group over a nonarchimedean local field or over the finite adeles of a global field). A representation (π, *V*) of *G* on a complex vector space *V* is called **smooth** if the subgroup of *G* fixing any vector of *V* is open. If, in addition, the space of vectors fixed by any compact open subgroup is finite dimensional then π is called **admissible**. Admissible representations of *p*-adic groups admit more algebraic description through the action of the Hecke algebra of locally constant functions on *G*.
Deep studies of admissible representations of *p*-adic reductive groups were undertaken by Casselman and by Bernstein and Zelevinsky in the 1970s. Progress was made more recently`{{when|date=November 2019}}`{=mediawiki} by Howe, Moy, Gopal Prasad and Bushnell and Kutzko, who developed a *theory of types* and classified the admissible dual (i.e. the set of equivalence classes of irreducible admissible representations) in many cases

# Pimpfe
***Pimpf*** is a German nickname for a boy before his voice changes. It is a colloquial word from Upper German meaning \"boy\", \"little rascal\", \"scamp\", or \"rapscallion\" (originally \"little gas-bubble\", as opposed to a \"Pumpf\", the adult variant). It has the same etymology as *pimp* and *pimple*.
In Nazi Germany, *Pimpf* was a term referring to a member of the *Deutsches Jungvolk*, the junior section of the Hitler Youth in Nazi Germany, for boys ten to fourteen. They were taught to be loyal to Hitler and the regime. Membership in the Hitler Youth was highly encouraged and incentivised during the mid-to-late 1930s and compulsory from 1939.
The term is no longer commonly used

# Matilde di Shabran
***Matilde di Shabran*** (full title: ***Matilde di Shabran, o sia Bellezza e Cuor di ferro***; English: ***Matilde of Shabran, or Beauty and Ironheart***) is a *melodramma giocoso* (*opera semiseria*) in two acts by Gioachino Rossini to a libretto by Jacopo Ferretti after François-Benoît Hoffman's libretto for Méhul's *Euphrosine* (1790, Paris) and J. M. Boutet de Monvel\'s play *Mathilde*. The opera was first performed in Rome at the Teatro Apollo, 24 February 1821 conducted by the violinist Niccolo Paganini. The premiere was followed by a street brawl \"between Rossini\'s admirers and his detractors.\"
## Versions
Three authentic versions of ***Matilde di Shabran*** exist. These are: the Rome version (24 February 1821); the Naples version (11 November 1821), and the Vienna version (7 May 1822). It is unlikely that Rossini participated directly in the 15 October 1821 performance that took place in Paris.
## Performance history {#performance_history}
After the mixed reception at the premiere, performances continued at Teatro Apollo until the end of the season, and ***Matilde di Shabran**\'\' went the rounds of other Italian cities. The opera appears to have been popular, with presentations in Europe (London on 3 July 1823) and New York (10 February 1834). However, apart from an 1892 staging in Florence, it was not staged again until 1974 in Genoa.\" This 1974 performance used the Roman version. The Roman version was also used in a performance of***Matilde di Shabran**\'\' as an oratorio in Paris in 1981. A revised version of the score was presented at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro in 1996, 2004 and 2012, as well as at the Royal Opera, London in 2008; these three presentations have used the Neapolitan version; Juan Diego Flórez sang the role of Corradino each time. A 1998 performance at the Rossini in Wildbad Belcanto Opera Festival used the Viennese version.

## Synopsis
: Place: In and around Corradino\'s gothic castle in Spain
: Time: The Middle Ages
### Act 1 {#act_1}
*Scene 1: Outside the castle gatehouse*
Egoldo and some peasants arrive with some of their produce, which they hope Corradino will accept (*Zitti; nessun qui v\'è* - \"Quiet, no-one is here\"). Aliprando draws their attention to two inscriptions on the castle gates (*Chi vi guida a queste mura?* - \"Who brings you to these walls?\"), but since the peasants have not been taught to read, he is obliged to read them out: \"Anyone entering without permission will have their heads split in two\" and \"Anyone who disturbs the peace will be starved to death\". He and Ginardo confirm that the ferocious Corradino will have no hesitation in carrying out these threats, and furthermore he has a particular hatred of women (*Se viene il Cerbero fioccano i guai* - \"When Cerberus comes, woes rain down\"). The alarmed peasants disperse rapidly. Ginardo asks Udolfo to check that Corradino\'s prisoners are not being ill-treated, except that he himself will visit the most recent arrival, Edoardo, the son of Corradino\'s enemy Raimondo Lopez.
The wandering poet Isidoro arrives with his guitar at the castle, tired, hungry and thirsty, having travelled all the way from Naples. Seeing the castle, he hopes that his luck will change (Cavatina: *Intanto Armenia \'nfra l\'ombrose piante* - \"Meanwhile, Armenia, through the shady trees\"), but, when he sees the inscriptions, his instinct is to flee. But he accidentally runs into Ginardo, who tells him that it is too late. Corradino, armed and surrounded by guards, makes his appearance and demands to know who Isidoro is and why he is there (Quartet: *Alma rea! Perché t\'involi?* - \"Wicked man! Why are you running away?\"). Isidoro tries to curry favour with Corradino by offering to serenade his ladies, but this enrages the tyrant further. He is about to kill the poet when Aliprando intervenes. Corradino relents, but Isidoro is marched off to the dungeons by Ginardo.
Aliprando tells Corradino that Matilde, whose father, Shabran, has been killed in battle, is approaching the castle. With his dying breath, Shabran commended her to Corradino\'s care. Corradino, who respected Shabran, agrees to accommodate Matilde in fine apartments, but wishes her to be kept out of his sight unless he summons her. Aliprando goes to meet her.
Ginardo returns, telling Corradino that Edoardo is weeping and may be repentant. But when he brings the chained prisoner to Corradino, it is clear that Edoardo remains defiant. Corradino demands that he acknowledge him as the victor over his father. Edoardo refuses (Cavatina: *Piange il mio ciglio, è vero* - \"It\'s true that tears fall from my eyes\"), but Corradino has his chains removed and will give him the run of the castle if he promises not to escape. Edoardo agrees and goes in. Ginardo reports that Aliprando and Matilde are approaching the castle. Corradino vows to find Matilde a husband and supply her with a dowry, but will see her as little as possible. Ginardo, alone, muses that a heart of iron (\"cuor di ferro\") may not be enough to save his master from Cupid\'s darts.
*Scene 2: A magnificent gallery in the castle*
Matilde tells Aliprando that Corradino will yield to her (Duet: *Di capricci, di smorfiette* - \"I\'ve caprices, little glances\"). The physician is not so sure, but he admires her spirit and tells her that Corradino, despite his warlike demeanour, runs to him whenever he has a headache or a cold. Maybe his dislike of women can be overcome.
Ginardo announces the arrival of the Contessa d\'Arco, who, as a result of a peace treaty, was promised in marriage to Corradino. He had immediately repudiated her, but was obliged to agree that he would not marry anyone else. The Countess has heard that Matilde is to be accommodated in the castle and intends to have her evicted. The women insult each other, and the resulting noise brings Corradino and his guards to the gallery (Quintet: *Questa è la Dea? Che aria!* - \"This is the goddess? What a picture!\"). Matilde stands firm, Ginardo and Aliprando are amazed that Corradino makes no attempt to kill her for her impertinence, and the Countess is further enraged. Corradino is confused - his head is spinning and his blood is burning. He asks Ginardo to look after Matilde, and departs with Aliprando. The Countess storms off, pursued by Matilde.
Corradino asks Aliprando what is wrong with him, and is told that he is lovesick, which is a disease with no cure. Aliprando leaves, and Corradino summons Isidoro, whom he suspects of bewitching him, from his prison. Isidoro, in fear of his life, has no idea what he is talking about, but, just when Corradino is about to have him torn into pieces, a contrite Matilde appears. Ginardo is to take Isidoro back to the dungeon, but the two of them hide in order to watch developments. The bemused Corradino succumbs to Matilde\'s wiles (Finale: *Ah! Capisco; non parlate* - \"Ah! I understand, do not speak\"), and falls at her feet just as Aliprando arrives to announce that Raimondo and his troops are on their way to rescue Edoardo. Corradino leaves to give orders to the guards, taking Matilde with him, as the others comment on his surrender to her.
*Scene 3: Outside the castle gatehouse*
Edoardo, Rodrigo and the guards await the enemy. Corradino, Matilde, Aliprando and Ginardo come through the gate, together with Isidoro and his guitar (he has appointed himself court poet). The Countess follows them. When Corradino tells Edoardo that his father will be defeated, Edoardo is overcome, but when Matilde comforts the boy, Corradino succumbs to jealousy. An ensemble (*Oh come mai quest\'anima sfavilla in un momento!* - \"Oh, how my soul flares up in a minute!\") develops, Isidoro urges the guards onwards, and the curtain falls.

## Synopsis
### Act 2 {#act_2}
*Scene 1: The countryside near the castle*
Isidoro, sitting in a tree, is writing about his exploits. The peasants and Corradino\'s troops arrive (*Di Corradino il nome per ogni suol rimbomba* - \"May the name of Corradino resound in every country\"), and, although they know that most of what Isidoro has written is made up, he persuades them that that\'s what poets do (*Le penne de i poeti so spade assai diverse* - \"Poets\' pens are quite different weapons\"), and they nevertheless salute him and take him with them.
Raimondo appears, laments the loss of his son, and departs. Edoardo, dispirited, longs for death (Cavatina: *Ah! perché, perché la morte non ascolta i pianti miei* - \"Ah, why, why does death ignore my tears\") but then he hears Raimondo calling his name. Corradino and Raimondo arrive simultaneously, but, before they can fight, Edoardo takes Raimondo\'s place. As he fights Corradino, he tells him that it was Matilde who set him free. Corradino rushes off in a rage, and father and son leave together.
*Scene 2: The gallery in the castle*
The Countess reveals that Edoardo had bribed the guards and escaped. She is sure that Corradino will blame Matilde, who now arrives, followed by Isidoro. He tells the ladies how he saved the day by taking command of the army. Ginardo and Aliprando confirm that the enemy has been routed, but add that Corradino ran off to find Raimondo and challenge him to a duel. Corradino returns, demanding to see Edoardo, but Ginardo discovers that he has escaped. Corradino starts to question Matilde, but Rodrigo enters with a letter for her. It is from Edoardo, who swears undying love for her and thanks her for allowing him to escape. Corradino condemns her to death, to the delight of the Countess (Sextet: *È palese il tradimento* - \"Her treachery is obvious\"). Isidoro and the guards are to take Matilde to a deep chasm and throw her in. Corradino, alone, meditates on his revenge. He is joined by some peasant women, but their pleas that Matilde be saved (*Mandare a morte quella meschina?* - \"Are you really sending that poor girl to her death?\") fall on deaf ears. As they leave, Isidoro, Ginardo, Aliprando and the Countess return. Isidoro describes how he kicked Matilde into the gorge, amid conflicting emotions from the others.
Suddenly, Edoardo appears and describes how the Countess bribed Udolfo to release him, with the intention of throwing the blame on Matilde. The Countess flees Corradino\'s wrath, and he and Edoardo lament Matilde\'s death (Duet: *Da cento smanie, e cento sento straziarmi il cor* - \"A hundred agonies, and then a hundred more, pierce my heart\").
*Scene 3: Outside Raimondo\'s castle: a steep mountain with a raging torrent plunging into a gorge*
Isidoro is at the foot of the mountain and Corradino is above, planning to throw himself off in order to atone for Matilde\'s death. But before he can do so, a bell rings and Raimondo emerges from the castle. Aliprando and Ginardo try to restrain Corradino as Edoardo rushes into the castle, immediately returning with Matilde. Isidoro admits that he made up the story of Matilde\'s death, Matilde thanks Edoardo, instructs Corradino to make peace with Raimondo and regrets that the Countess is not there to see her triumph. She and Corradino are reunited, and, to general rejoicing, she sings in praise of love (*Ami alfine? E chi non ama?* - \"Are you at last in love? Who does not love?\") as the peasants comment: \"Women are born to conquer and rule\"

# 13th Division (German Empire)
The **13th Division** (*13. Division*) was a unit of the Prussian/German Army. It was formed in November 1816 in Münster in Westphalia as a troop brigade and became the 13th Division on September 5, 1818. The division was subordinated in peacetime to the VII Army Corps (*VII. Armeekorps*). The division was disbanded in 1919 during the demobilization of the German Army after World War I. The division was recruited primarily in the Prussian Province of Westphalia and two small principalities in the Westphalian region, Lippe-Detmold and Schaumburg-Lippe.
## Combat chronicle {#combat_chronicle}
The 13th Division served in the Second Schleswig War against Denmark in 1864, seeing action in the war\'s major battles: the Battle of Dybbøl (also called the Battle of the Düppeler Heights) and the Battle of Als. The division then fought in the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, where it was part of the Army of the Main (*Main-Armee*) and saw action in the engagements against Austria\'s south German allies, including the siege of the Bavarian fortress at Würzburg. In the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, the division fought in several battles and engagements, including the Battle of Borny-Colombey, also called the Battle of Colombey-Nouilly, and the Gravelotte, or Gravelotte-St. Privat, and the Siege of Metz.
In World War I, the division served on the Western Front. It participated in the initial German drive through Belgium and France, culminating in the First Battle of the Marne. After a period of trench warfare in various parts of the line, the division went to Verdun in 1916. Later that year, beginning in September, the division saw action in the later phases of the Battle of the Somme. During the 1918 German spring offensive, the division fought in the Second Battle of the Somme. The division bore the brunt of later Allied offensives, including the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Allied intelligence rated it a first class division.
## Order of battle in the Franco-Prussian War {#order_of_battle_in_the_franco_prussian_war}
During wartime, the 13th Division, like other regular German divisions, was redesignated an infantry division. The organization of the 13th Infantry Division in 1870 at the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War was as follows:
- 25\. Infanterie Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 13
- Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 73
- 26\. Infanterie Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 15
- Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 55
- Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 7
- Husaren-Regiment Nr. 8
## Pre-World War I organization {#pre_world_war_i_organization}
German divisions underwent various organizational changes after the Franco-Prussian War. The organization of the 13th Division in 1914, shortly before the outbreak of World War I, was as follows:
- 25\. Infanterie Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment Herwath von Bittenfeld (1. Westfälisches) Nr. 13
- 7\. Lothringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 158
- 26\. Infanterie Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Friedrich der Niederlande (2. Westfälisches) Nr. 15

- 13\. Feldartillerie-Brigade
- 2\. Westfälisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 22
- Mindensches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 58
- Landwehr-Inspektion Dortmund
## Order of battle on mobilization {#order_of_battle_on_mobilization}
On mobilization in August 1914 at the beginning of World War I, most divisional cavalry, including brigade headquarters, was withdrawn to form cavalry divisions or split up among divisions as reconnaissance units. Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters. The 13th Division was again renamed the 13th Infantry Division. Its initial wartime organization was as follows:
- 25\. Infanterie-Brigade:
- Infanterie-Regiment Herwarth von Bittenfeld (1. Westfälisches) Nr. 13
- 7\. Lothringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 158
- 26.Infanterie-Brigade:
- Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Friedrich der Niederlande (2. Westfälisches) Nr. 15
- Infanterie-Regiment Graf Bülow von Dennewitz (6. Westfälisches) Nr. 55
- Westfälisches Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 7
- Stab u. 3.Eskadron/Ulanen-Regiment Hennigs von Treffenfeld (Altmärkisches) Nr. 16

- 2\. Westfälisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 22
- Mindensches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 58
- 1\. Kompanie/Westfälisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 7
## Late World War I organization {#late_world_war_i_organization}
Divisions underwent many changes during the war, with regiments moving from division to division, and some being destroyed and rebuilt. During the war, most divisions became triangular - one infantry brigade with three infantry regiments rather than two infantry brigades of two regiments (a \"square division\"). An artillery commander replaced the artillery brigade headquarters, the cavalry was further reduced, the engineer contingent was increased, and a divisional signals command was created. The 13th Infantry Division\'s order of battle on March 8, 1918, was as follows:
- 26\. Infanterie-Brigade:
- Infanterie-Regiment Herwarth von Bittenfeld (1. Westfälisches) Nr. 13
- Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Friedrich der Niederlande (2. Westfälisches) Nr. 15
- Infanterie-Regiment Graf Bülow von Dennewitz (6. Westfälisches) Nr. 55

# Luanda Railway
The **Luanda Railway** (sometimes called **Angola Railway**) is a 424 km single-track Cape gauge railway line from the Angolan capital of Luanda to Malanje. A branch line departs the railway at Zenza do Itombe for Dondo. The line is operated by the state owned company **Caminho de Ferro de Luanda E.P.**, short CFL EP.
## History
From its terminal at the Atlantic port of Luanda, the railway heads inland towards Eastern Angola, but ends in the middle of the country at Malanje. A branch line departed the railway at Zenza do Itombe for Dondo.
The coastal segment from Luanda to Lucala was built by a Portuguese company in 1889. The line was then extended to Malanje in 1909 by the Portuguese government. After independence from Portugal in 1975, the Angolan civil war broke out. In 2001, the Luanda Railway was one of the only functioning railways in Angola, when it was hit by a bomb attack, killing 91 people. The prolonged fighting lasted until 2002 and destroyed most of the railway infrastructure in Angola.
In 2005, a \$355 million rehabilitation project was begun by the China Railway 20 Bureau Group, with funding from the China International Fund. A total of 215 km of rails were rehabilitated, and another 264 km of new rails were laid. The project included the construction of 16 stations, 16 bridges, and 200 culverts.
## Resumption of services {#resumption_of_services}
In 2010, a passenger service resumed between Luanda and Malanje; Angola\'s Deputy Minister of Transport, José João Kuvingwa suggested that full operation could resume in 2011. In July 2010, a twice-weekly freight service began, between Dondo and Luanda. In November 2010, CFL announced hourly passenger trains between Viana and Textang; in December 2010, container services commenced, serving a dry port near Viana, and in January 2011 the first train reached Malanje.
Most of the trains run on the suburban stretch from Luanda to Viana and further to Catete. Trains on this service were carrying about 15 000 passengers per day as of 2015.
Regular services between Luanda and Malanje started in January 2011. One train per day is working the line, either up, i.e. from Luanda to Malanje, or down (return). The long distance trains start and end at Viana.
In mid-July 2011, the CFL announced the introduction of electronic ticketing on an experimental basis for inter-provincial journeys, beginning on 18 July.
## Crashes and incidents {#crashes_and_incidents}
In 2011, 34 people died from 70 crashes and incidents on the suburban stretch between the Luanda, Viana and Icolo e Bengo municipalities, most of them in cases where drivers or pedestrians tried to cross the line at illegal crossings, said CFL marketing director Francisco Henriques to Angop. After 18 years of interruption of railway traffic, there is a whole generation who has no experience at all interacting with railways and trains.
On 18 February 2012, the rail line was interrupted for at least two days when a truck crashed into a passenger train at a level crossing in the locality \"Cabebeia\", in município de Kambambe (provínce Kwanza Norte). The locomotive derailed completely, and two railway cars were damaged

# George Ainslie (Virginia politician)
**George Ainslie** (October 10, 1868 -- July 18, 1931) was the mayor of Richmond, Virginia, from 1912 until 1924. He was of English ancestry, all of which had been in Virginia since the 17th century.
## Education
Ainslie received a B.S. at Virginia Military Institute in 1890 and an L.L.B. at the University of Virginia in 1893.
## Mayor of Richmond {#mayor_of_richmond}
During Ainslie\'s administration, annexation nearly doubled Richmond\'s size. As a result of this expansion, Ainslie pursued an ambitious program of public improvements, including completion of a new waterworks and creation of a fully motorized fire department. He also advocated amendments to the Richmond city charter that in 1919 strengthened the power of the mayor\'s office. The Richmond newspapers often featured photographs of Ainslie greeting visiting dignitaries, including Marshal Ferdinand Foch (1921) and former British prime minister David Lloyd George (1923).
Ainslie lost the April 1924 primary to his ultimate successor, John Fulmer Bright, after Bright accused Ainslie of being a big spender who had placed the city in debt by borrowing money for public improvements.
After leaving office, Ainslie worked as an insurance agent. He was buried in Hollywood Cemetery

# 2003 British Virgin Islands general election
**General elections** were held in the British Virgin Islands on 16 June 2003. It was won by the opposition National Democratic Party (NDP), which took 54.4% of the vote and 8 of the 13 available seats on the Legislative Council. After the election the NDP formed a Government for the first time in its history. Both major parties - the NDP and the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) actually increased their share of the overall vote at the expense of minority parties and independents. No independents or any minority parties won any seats. The NDP won all four of the territorial-at-large seats.
## Results
The NDP\'s victory was largely as a result of sweeping all four of the At-large seats. However, with each voter being able to cast four votes per ballot, the margin between the bottom NDP candidate (Paul Wattley) and the top VIP candidate (Reeial George) was a mere 41 votes, out of a total of 7,351 ballots cast (a margin of 0.5%). The other key win for the NDP was in the Fifth District where Delores Christopher carried the seat for the NDP by a wafer thin margin of just 3 votes in a constituency where a total of 20 ballots were rejected by elections officers.
Voters exercised a largely binary choice between the two main parties. No third party candidate or independent polled well in any area. In the Territorial seats, Alred Frett in the Fifth District was the highest vote-getter, with a mere 7.1% of the votes. In the At-large seats, the top eight spots went to the four candidates for each of the two main parties, with a massive drop off in numbers of votes for the ninth place candidate (Conrad Maduro, a former elected representative on the United Party ticket)

The sound of a gunshot brings Inspector Ajay Sahani to the scene. He arrests Shera and Raja, who are only wounded by the bullet.
With help from his loyal crony Gangu, Shera escapes from prison. He then kidnaps Gulshan\'s sister and keeps her with him until Gulshan can give him all the money from the loot. Gulshan panics and informs the police about Shera\'s hideout. Inspectors Sahani and his friend Inspector Ravi Khanna both reach the scene but fail to apprehend Shera, who flees after fatally shooting Inspector Sahani.
Filled with rage and vengeance, Ravi gets permission from the Police Commissioner to release Raja in his custody so that he may help him track down Shera.

# Saint Mary's College, Mauritius
The **Saint Mary\'s college** is a Catholic, private secondary school for boys in Mauritius based in Rose-Hill. The college is known for diversity of its students enrollment, students who performed well at the CPE exam. Another campus was built lately named Saint Mary\'s West.
## History
Bishop Daniel Liston approached the Brothers of the Irish District while on holiday in his native country in 1951 about setting up a Catholic college for the region of Beau Bassin-Rose Hill. On 24 March 1951 Bro. Columban, Director of St. Joseph\'s College, complained to the Provincial of Ireland, Bro. Aloysius O\'Brien, about the shortage of good teaching Brothers in his school. On 7 May 1951 Bro. Aloysius wrote to Bishop Liston offering his support for the proposed secondary school. Liston replied that he had bought a site of 3`{{frac|1|2}}`{=mediawiki} acres, 3/4 of a mile from the centre of Rose Hill, next to the railway station, bus route and the Church. This site was Summerfield in Beau Bassin, later taken over by the Congregation du Bon et Perpetuel Secours to establish a secondary school for girls, \'College du B.P.S.\'.
A new site was found at the corner of Ambrose and Gordon streets, Rose Hill, behind the Plaza and Municipal grounds. The first classrooms were erected along Gordon Street, and later the hall with classrooms above along Ambrose Street, thus exposed to the noise of heavy traffic. In a proposed contract marked \'Submitted to the Regime, 26 March 1953\', Liston said that the Bishop of Port Louis invites the Brothers to open a secondary school at RoseHill, that he had procured a 4`{{frac|1|2}}`{=mediawiki} acre site which should serve for about 4 years, and undertook to build a college with a residence for the Brothers before the end of that time. The ownership of the house and College and of the property was to remain vested in the Diocese, but given rent-free to the Brothers, who guaranteed to provide staff for the College.
Bro. Benedict Lynch (assisted by a Mr. Le Chartier) received 31 boys on the opening day of the College, 25 January 1954. In describing the event to Bro. Aloysius, Provincial, at the end of the month, Bro. Benedict mentioned that it was a good thing that the classes had started in 1954 and not 1953. The extra year had given time to turn the \'luxurious jungle and quarry into a football field\'.
## Approval
St. Mary \'s College was approved as a secondary school, with effect from January 1955. The College was officially inaugurated on 20 April 1955 by Lady Scott, wife of the Governor, Sir Robert Scott.
## Staffing difficulties {#staffing_difficulties}
On 26 September 1958 Bro. Benedict wrote to Bro. Aloysius saying that after five years the College had no graduate, and that the failure to provide a science teacher was a violation of the only obligation which the Brothers contracted in undertaking the direction of the College. At the time graduates, and especially science teachers were very much in demand.

## Early teachers {#early_teachers}
Bro. Peter Foster taught in St. Mary\'s from 1954 to 1959, from 1965 to 1969 and again after taking out a degree at the University of Cork, from 1972 to 1974. His chief contribution was the organisation of the Classical Side of the College, apart from music, drama and laying out of the grounds.
Bro. Patrick Byrne, born 3 August 1920 in Co. Carlow, taught in St. Mary\'s from 1957 to 1962, and at St. Joseph\'s from 1963 to 1975. Besides having a full teaching schedule he was the \'handyman\' at St. Mary\'s putting up blackboards and notice boards, painting the old dwelling house, fixing taps, lights and switches at strategic points, mending doors, windows and partitions.
\
Bro. Benedict Lynch set out to return to Ireland via South Africa on 31 March 1959. Less than an hour before he left the results of the 1958 School Certificate arrived, 9 passes out of 10, from the first group of pupils who joined the College when it opened in January 1954. Bro. Remi Carosin moved from St. Joseph\'s College to become Director of St. Mary\'s on the following day and continued the development of the College until 1970. A start was made on the extension of the buildings on 3 November 1959.
Cyclone Alix on 19 January 1960 blew down the verandah of the Residence, an old wooden colonial house, and weakened the whole building considerably. Cyclone Carol on the last day of February \'devastated everything in its way -- houses, churches and schools\'. The College reopened only on 7 March. The work on the extension was delayed, and in January 1961 it was decided to build two stories of classrooms above the hall which was being constructed along Ambrose Street.
In 1961 Bro. Remi, accompanied by the Principals of four other Colleges, met the Minister of Education on 22 June and 10 July and discussed the possibility of 80% grant towards the salaries of three graduates; this was not agreed to until July 1962, retroactive to January of that year. Up to then the College had subsisted on fees and the proceeds of fairs, with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Port Louis assuming responsibility for capital expenditure. At times the school was full to capacity.
## Site improvement and Extension {#site_improvement_and_extension}
The Diocese of Port Louis paid for the building of the school, but there was little or no money available for the development of the grounds, but a number of the Brothers in the earlier years spent much time on this. Gradually after the independence, the major of the Diocese of Port Louis ceased and the development of the college was funded mainly through the parent-teacher association internly. for the resumption of studies on 16 January 1962, are given as: 355 pupils, 7 Brothers (including 2 in St. Enfant Jesus Primary School) and 7 lay teachers. On the 13 March the first pass in the H.S.C. was announced, and a week later 56 S.C. passes. The extension of hall with classrooms above was officially opened on 2 May. Hon. A. Beejadhur, Minister of Education, cut the tape and Bishop Liston blessed the building. On 9 October Mgr. J. Margeot, V.G. blessed the library in one of the rooms in the extension.
St. Mary\'s nowadays has adequate buildings and grounds with a tennis court, 2 football ground, 5 basketball courts, 4 volleyball courts and 1 handball ground. On 18 July 1962 a letter from the Ministry of Education granted St. Mary\'s College \'A Status\' for both Classical and Science studies. The following day Bro. Donard Fergus returned to Mauritius and joined the staff of St. Mary\'s, having already taught for 6 years in St. Joseph\'s.
## Old boys {#old_boys}
The first meeting of the Old Boys Association took place on 3 February 1963, and the first Staff Dinner on 18 May. HSC results showed 3 passes and the SC 28 passes.
On 25 January 1964 the first annual prize-giving was held. The Exam results are given as HSC 5/14 and SC 32/36. The first parent-teacher association meeting was held on 14 July.
The College reopened on 13 January 1965 with 440 pupils. Exam results are recorded: HSC 7/13 and SC 45/52. Th
Nowadays the Old Boys Association frequently organises gathering at the college and capitalises their connection. Former students who became famously known are namely Arvin Bollell, Harish Balgobin, Jocelyn Renaud le Père Eddy Coosnapen, Antoine Law and Ian Ernest among others. Hence the Old Boys Association became through the time an important association due to the well-established and diversified occupation of former students.

## Athletic meeting {#athletic_meeting}
On 19 March St. Mary\'s lost by five points, 113 to 118, at an athletics meeting with the much longer-established St. Joseph\'s College. The year ended with Bro. Peter\'s Junior Football team winning the Quatre Bornes Tournament open to 42 teams.
The first HSC Classical class commenced on 11 January 1966. 90% success was announced in March for SC. Bro Allen Richard McNamee, newly elected Assistant Superior General paid his first visit and promised to the Brothers in Mauritius: to keep in mind (i) a new residence for the Brothers in Rose Hill, (ii) more Brothers for Mauritius. Bro. Peter produced Christmas Carols on Radio and TV.
In 1967 the exam results for the previous year were given as: HSC 40%, SC 80.2%.
On 27 October and 5 November Bro. Remi presented programmes on TV about the canonisation in Rome of Bro. Benilde, a Frenchman, the first Brother so honoured by the Church since the Founder, St. De La Salle in 1900. About 12 have since been added, apart from a larger number who have been beatified.
The year of Independence, 1968, opened with some riots in Port Louis. Schools were closed from 21 January to 1 February.
In May 1969 Bro. Antel, World Organiser of Past Pupils Unions in the schools of the Brothers visited Mauritius. Bro. Peter left for University studies in Cork and was replaced by Bro. Michael Mackey. A new Basketball court was constructed and the Football field enlarged. On 21 December Bro. Michael took over as Director of St. Mary\'s and Bro. Remi became Director of College de la Confiance. He had been involved in the preparations for the opening of this establishment for over two years.
The question of a new residence for the Brothers in Rose Hill came to a head at the Irish District Retreat held in Navan in July 1970. Permission was given to the Brothers in Mauritius to explore the possibility of collecting the necessary funds but little faith was placed in renewed promises of help from Rome. A suitable site would have to be found outside the grounds of the College belonging to the Diocese. A plot of ground 182 by containing the ruins of three houses existed just across Ambrose Street from the main gate of the College. Enquiries were made and the plot was purchased for Rs. 40 000 on 6 September 1971.
The Community were of the opinion that 8 Brothers were required for the good running of the College so Gustave Rey drew up plans for a house with 9 bedrooms en suite. The Brothers of the three Communities were invited by the Director Bro. Michael to give their views on the proposed plan. When it was agreed to proceed, Bros. Michael and Anthony informed Bishop J. Margeot during the priests\' Retreat at Foyer de L\'Unité. In July 1972 the foundation stone was blessed. The building was completed and the Brothers took up residence at Easter 1973. The total cost was recorded as Rs. 280 000. For the next three years in the History Bro. Michael acknowledged with thanks financial support from the Irish District and from St. Joseph\'s Community. The Rose Hill Community reduced their expenses to a minimum, to help to pay off the debt. The small house in the grounds of the College was given over for offices, changing rooms and an Audio Visual Centre.
The College reopened in 1974 with 630 pupils and 23 teachers including 5 Brothers. The subject Biology had to be dropped from the HSC options as no teacher was available. In January the 21st anniversary of the College was celebrated with an exhibition of Photographs, and some new books were purchased for the library of the Community.

## Student unrest {#student_unrest}
Student unrest caused the classes to be suspended for a while in May 1975. Bro. Michael Mackey left for Ireland in July and Bro. John Cashman, B.Sc. became Principal. Bro. Stephen Farrell arrived to become Director of the Community in August, thus separating the two posts for the first time. Pupils and teachers donated 38 pints to the Blood Bank to help a pupil who was ill.
In May 1976 new equipment was provided for the Science Laboratories, the Audio Visual Room, and for Sports. The announcement of Free Secondary Education in December 1976 came to the rescue of St. Mary\'s.
January 1977 saw an increase in the numbers of Staff and pupils. Payment by the Government was \'on the basis of 1976 fees\' but now every pupil was being paid for in full. More equipment was purchased and repairs were carried out to the roof, electrical installations and to the playground. A lay teacher in the College, Mr. Paul Cheung, became Principal but the Brothers were still responsible with Bro. John Cashman as Manager.
For some unknown reason the sending of Historical Supplements to Rome by the Communities in Ireland and Mauritius ceased in 1977. No later Historical documents have been found. It is known that Father Hervé de St. Pern became Manager of St. Mary\'s College as from January 1983 when Bro. John Cashman departed to become Principal of College de la Confiance. Mr. Paul Cheung remained Principal of St. Mary\'s College, thus the changeover was hardly noticed. The Brothers\' house was handed over to the Diocese and became Foyer La Source. Stephen, a long time groundsman moved in as caretaker. No doubt, Rover missed the Brothers

# WGZB-FM
**WGZB-FM** (96.5 MHz, \"B96.5\") is a mainstream urban radio station in Louisville, Kentucky. Its city of license is Lanesville, Indiana, and its radio tower is located near Elizabeth, Indiana near the Ohio River, while its studios are located in downtown Louisville. The station is owned by Alpha Media.
## Station history {#station_history}
WGZB-FM signed on April 15, 1990, with its present Urban Contemporary format under the \"B-96.5\" name, with offices and studios in the Cosmopolitan Building at Third and Kentucky. The original general manager was Managing Partner Rodney Burbridge. In its first few years on the air, the station was licensed to Corydon, Indiana and was handicapped with a signal that covered only half of Louisville\'s metro. Nevertheless, WGZB soon became the choice for Louisville\'s African American population (with approx. 200,000 African-Americans in the radio market as of Fall 2013) and was the final nail in the coffin for 1350 AM WLOU\'s long-running Urban format (1951--1995). Earlier attempts at Urban Contemporary/Urban Adult programming in the market include \"rimshot\" FM Urban WJYL (1984--89) and WDGS (1985--87).
WGZB was notable in that it tied WLOU for top Louisville Urban radio station after only six weeks on the air, according to the Spring 1990 Arbitron radio ratings. In 1994, WGZB added Urban Adult Contemporary WLSY-FM (now WMJM) to its group of stations, giving the combination broader demographic reach by targeting the age 30+ audience, while WGZB targeted the age 12-35 group. Both stations enjoy large \"crossover\" (Black+White+Hispanic+Asian+Native) audiences, along with their Hot Contemporary Hit Radio (\"top 40\") sister station, WDJX-FM.
In 2004, WGZB\'s license was changed from Corydon to Lanesville so that the tower could be moved closer to Louisville and raised taller, eliminating much of the signal problems that the station had due to the low ERP.
WGZB carries the syndicated *Russ Parr Morning Show*, though it did at one time carry Doug Banks until the station was purchased by Radio One. In 2007, Main Line Broadcasting purchased Radio One\'s Louisville properties, which included WGZB-FM. In one of the Fall 2013 monthly Arbitron (now NielsenAudio) ratings reports, WGZB ranked #1 in the Louisville radio market, with sisters WDJX and WMJM as #4 and #5 respectfully (out of 32 stations in the Louisville market, listeners age 10+)

# Tableau de Concordance
**The Tableau de Concordance** was the main French diplomatic code used during World War I; the term also refers to any message sent using the code. It was a superenciphered four-digit code that was changed three times between 1 August 1914 and 15 January 1915.
The Tableau de Concordance is considered superenciphered because there is more than one step required to use it. First, each word in a message is replaced by four digits via a codebook. These four digits are divided into three groups (one digit, two digits, one digit) so that when the whole message has been translated into code, the four-digit sets can be put together so it looks like the entire message is made up of two-digit pairs. This is called a \"Straddle Gimmick.\" Then, in turn, each of these two digit pairs (and the single digits at the beginning and end) are replaced by two letters. The letters are then combined with no spaces for the final ciphertext.
The manual for the Tableau de Concordance included the instruction that if there was not adequate time for completely enciphering the message, it should simply be sent in clear, because a partially enciphered message would have provided insight into the inner workings of the code

# Iavnana
**Iavnana** (`{{lang-ka|იავნანა}}`{=mediawiki}) is a genre of Georgian folk song, traditionally intended as a lullaby, but historically sung also as healing songs for the sick children. Some of the Iavnana lyrics are, however, of didactical or heroic character.
The name of the genre comes from its refrain *iavnana* (or *iavnaninao*, *nana naninao*, etc.), which contains the vocable *nana* (ნანა), purportedly derived from the name of a pagan mother goddess. Some of its variants, e.g., *iavnana vardo nana*, combine the names of the two flowers violet (*ia*) and rose (*vardi*) which frequently feature in Georgian folklore and classical literature, and are commonly associated with feminine and masculine symbols, respectively.
Over sixty versions of \"Iavnanas\" have been recorded. Most of these lullabies are sung directly to the child, and are largely preserved in modern-day Georgia. Many of the Iavnana variants, however, were \"healing songs\" performed specifically in the presence of the sick child, but addressed to the \"lords\" (*batonebi*) or \"angels\" (*angelozebi*), the spirits who were popularly believed to have taken possession of the patient suffering from smallpox, measles, scarlet fever or other infectious diseases.
The Iavnana motifs have been exploited in their poetry by several Georgian poets such as Ilia Chavchavadze, Akaki Tsereteli, and Galaktion Tabidze

## Composer
### Ambient
Robert Voisey creates many electronic works in the ambient or dark ambient music genres. He creates these works primarily by layering and manipulating audio samples. The first of his works; to exemplify this techniques are *starfields* (2002) and *Hourglass: base, traverse, and land* (2003). The Hourglass movement *base* was published on the Brooklyn College Electroacoustic CD. His work *Lust* (2003) was the first ambient piece of his to be performed with live voice in conjunction to electronic playback. Later in October 2010, Robert Voisey\'s piece, *Flute Lust*, (a flute version of the work) would premier at Electronic Music Midwest at Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois, performed by flutist Rebecca Ashe.
The ambient work *ripples in sand* would be selected for the 60x60 International Mix of that project and later published on the 60x60 (2003) by Capstone Records.
*Lament and Sorrow* was commissioned by Serban Nichifor and dedicated to Nichifor\'s departed wife Liana Alexandra and premiered on her memorial concert in Bucharest, Romania and performed at the Romanian Athenaeum as well as a performance at the George Enescu Festival. The work was also included on a special memorial concert in New York City sponsored in part by the Romanian Cultural Institute.
Rob Voisey has performed his ambient works himself 2nd Annual Composers Play Composers Marathon presented by COMPOSERS CONCORDANCE and his work *melting* was performed at Composers Concordance Festival 2 (\"Evolution\") Marathon @ Drom. \"Voisey\'s *Melting* was a sudden change of pace (just vocals with electronics), a very well done performance of a moving piece delivered with care, making an instant connection with the audience.\" - Kevin Williams.
He also performs his ambient works regularly on Composer\'s Voice Concert Series by Vox Novus.
#### Constellations
Being a singer who is trained in using extended vocal techniques, Robert uses samples of his voice to create ambient works. He records his voice using polyphonic throat-singing and layers the recorded vocal tracks to create sonic ambient landscapes. One of these music projects is called *Constellations* where he creates one-minute ambient works where each miniature is named after one of the 88 constellations used in modern astronomy. Robert Voisey then layers and sequences one or more of the ambient constellations forming a sonic \"mobile\" to create a larger acoustic work. Each mix of sonic constellations is named after the venue or project for which it was commissioned. The *Constellations TRANSreveLATION Mix* was the first constellations mix created for the TRANSreveLATION concert in New York City. This was followed by *Constellations: EMM MIX*, written for the Electronic Music Midwest Festival, Composer\'s Voice Mix, No Extra Notes Mix, Das Punk and Krooner Mix, Constellations 2CC Mix, and Constellations: Romeoville Mix.
The Constellations project is specifically designed for the one-minute miniatures to be performed singularly, sequenced one after another as a string of works or in a layer \"mobile\" fashion to create a new mix.
> Robert Voisey's suite of six movements, Constellations, was for fixed media and dancers. Each miniature---a genre in which Voisey excels as he is the creator of 60x60, a concert series devoted to music lasting sixty seconds---was vocally based. I caught spinets of raga and Middle Eastern influence with the embellishments. Though in six movements with an ever-so-slight pause in between each, the sounds remained similar throughout. At first I was nonplussed, but by the end was won over by the steadfastness and singularity of purpose and idea. The choreography was clever; white clad dancers used various light sources (hand-held light strands, single-bulb palm flashlights, and a Christmas light-wrapped dancer) to manipulate the darkness of the stage and hall according to each constellation's implied persona. -- *Eclectic electronics* By Lee Hartman KCMetropolis.org Tue, Oct 4, 2011
*Ursa Minor* and *Sagittarius* are constellations selected for 60x60 mixes.

# Robert Voisey
## Producer
Robert Voisey is regarded as having ambitious ideas not only for the dissemination of contemporary music and art performance but for the number of audience members interested in such productions, routinely bringing rarefied forms of artistic expression into the mainstream. Chris Pasles of the *Los Angeles Times* listed him as one of the composers showing creativity in getting music heard.
### 60x60
One of Voisey's most notable projects which he produces, and directs is 60x60. Robert founded 60x60 in 2003 with it premier performance in New York City. 60x60 started as an electronic audio project presenting 60 recorded audio works by 60 different composers, each of the works 60 seconds or less in duration. The works are presented in sequence one after the other with each minute synchronized to an analog clock. Voisey describes 60x60: \"Each work is a microcosm of the larger \"marco-work\". Because there are no pauses between works, each minute influences another. Some works complement each other while others contrast with their differing aesthetics and styles. The 60x60 performance hour is a representation of our community of artists as much as it is a representation of artistic ideas, styles, and aesthetics.\" \"The project has grown exponentially and now regularly includes multiple mixes representing various geographic regions.\"
60x60's primary focus is to create an artistic representation of the electronic music being created in society today and to present that music to a large audience. Giving composers a \"voice\" to express themselves. Each 60x60 performance mix contains a wide variety of musical styles and aesthetics. \"Founder Robert Voisey said the 60-centric format -- inspired by other intermission-free performances in New York -- is designed to retain audiences\' attention. And through \"60x60,\" he hopes to expose newcomers to electronic music.\"
\"Part of the mission is to represent diverse composers from all walks of life,\" said Robert Voisey, who was quoted at the debut of the 60x60 UnTwelve Mix for the Magical Musical Showcase series at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Illinois. \"The point of the project is that it enables an audience to take in and enjoy a cross section of different approaches to new music within a reasonable duration. The purpose of Robert Voisey is to promote new music \... \"A strong advocate for contemporary composition, Voisey finds innovative formats in which to produce and promote his music and the work of his colleagues. \"His 60x60 project\... brings packaged electroacoustic concerts to venues worldwide\...\" He is quoted as saying, \"My belief is that there is a hungry audience out there waiting to be inspired and touched by the music and ideas that today\'s composer has to offer.\" 60x60 is a contemporary music project putting 60 one minute works together in a one-hour performance. \"The point of the project is that it enables an audience to take in and enjoy a cross section of different approaches to new music within a reasonable duration. And the purpose of Robert Voisey is to promote new music\" 60x60 is \"to represent diverse composers from all walks of life\"
The project boasts producing over 30 different mixes and presenting more than 2000 composers from the thousands of submissions it receives from its call for works.
Robert Voisey designed 60x60 to be a telescopic project which can grow to fit the needs of a venue or satisfy the appetite of a curious audience. The project has spanned more than 20 countries on 6 continents and has been presented in many different multimedia incarnations including 60x60 Dance, 60x60 Video, and 60x60 Images. 60x60 has inspired composers and artists alike where both the concept of 60x60 and the work created for it has taken on a life of its own such as David Morneau\'s 60x365, David McIntire\'s *Putney Project*. Several of the one-minute works written for 60x60 grow and stand on their own or as part of larger works like Daniel Weymouth\'s *A Breath for Rob*
#### 60x60 Dance {#x60_dance}
In 2007 as 60x60 Director, Robert Voisey began the 60x60 collaboration with dance. The first performance was held its premier at Jan Hus Presbyterian Church in New York City. It also received a performance at Galapagos Art Space in D.U.M.B.O. Brooklyn. Described as a \"bold initiative\" Of his 60x60 Dance collaboration with choreographer Jeramy Zimmerman in 2008, Roslyn Sulcas in *The New York Times* wrote:
> The idea---60 new dance pieces are performed to 60 new pieces of music, each lasting no more than 60 seconds---is quite mad. But it is this kind of madness that makes the cultural world go round, and so our thanks are due to the composer Robert Voisey, who first came up with the concept in 2003.
The November 14, 2008 performance at the World Financial Center Winter Garden Atrium attracted upwards of 1500 audience members, a number which is considered unusually high in the contemporary music and dance world.
Since then 60x60 Dance has received international acclaim and has been presented in countries around the world. Rob Voisey presented 60x60 Dance at Stratford Circus which was endorsed by the 2012 London Olympics for their Open Weekend. Time Out London says:
> Either a genius or crazy concept for a dance show, depending on how you look at it: 60 choreographers each create 60 seconds of movement to be performed in succession, making one hour of fast-changing, switched up dance ... there\'s one thing you can say for sure, it won\'t be boring.
In Toronto, 60x60 Dance \"turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable and original hour\", claimed by Paula Citron from Classical 96.3 who continues to rave, \" All kinds of kudos to dance artist Vivien Moore who assigned the music to the choreographers, and shaped the show to have some kind of continuity. How she merged the various dancers, and figured out exits and entrances was miraculous.\"
60x60 Dance premiered in St. Louis at MadArt Gallery, and has been returning yearly to The Sheldon and has been presented on public television. \"Robert Voisey collected and culled 60 musical arrangements from many more submissions, all to inspire the performers and stimulate the audience.\" -Minute to Win It, By Alison Sieloff.
#### 60x60 Video {#x60_video}
In a colossal presenting endeavor, Robert Voisey produced a video collaboration with Patrick Liddell for 360 degrees of 60x60 containing 6 hours of video for each of the 6 RED Mixes of 360 degrees of 60x60 originally created for the 2010 ICMC.
Voisey presented 60x60 in collaboration with video artist Zlatko Cosic at the 2007 Electronic Music Midwest festival, about which SEAMUS Journal said that Voisey \"did an exemplary job of forming a sonic tapestry `{{sic|comprised |hide=y|of}}`{=mediawiki} extremely diverse material by extremely diverse composers. Sensitive video accompaniment by Zlatko Cosic also helped organize the concert into a more coherent whole.\"
#### Orchestra 60x60 {#orchestra_60x60}
Robert Voisey is also co-directing an ambitious project with Mike McFerron and David Morneau called Orchestra 60x60. Orchestra 60x60 is a completely acoustic project written for orchestra which is based on the 60x60 concept, 60 one-minute orchestra works written by 60 different contemporary composers presented in a continuous hour performance. Orchestra 60x60 was first presented at the Conductors Guild Conference in 2009.
### Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame {#fifteen_minutes_of_fame}
Another miniature project of Robert Voisey is Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame. This project calls for composers to write one-minute works for a specific musician or ensemble. 15 works are selected and the musician premieres the works. In 2024 Mary Beth Orr a singer and horn player selected 15 works from living composers around the world and performed them at AllArtWorks in Grand Rapids.
For the fifteenth anniversary of 9/11, the West Point Band premiered fifteen one-minute works that honor the contributions of those men and women at Trinity Church in New York City.

## Life
Beginning his college career as a double major in computer science and mathematics and the son of two accountants, Voisey was an unlikely student of classical composition. He met his first composition teacher, Oded Zehavi, while taking a composition class for non-majors at Stony Brook University. Zehavi then invited him to join his fledgling composition program at Tel-Hai Academic College in the Upper Galilee of Israel. Accepting the invitation, Voisey was soon heard on Kol Yisrael Israel Radio and received his first contemporary performances at the College.
Voisey went on to study music in the Master\'s Program at Brooklyn College with composers Noah Creshevsky and George Brunner. Using his voice as a primary instrument, Voisey applied electronic techniques of sampling, digital processing and multi-track layering to his own work. Robert Voisey belonged to the Brooklyn College Electro-Acoustic Ensemble where his work was featured on three CDs and several concerts at the International Electroacoustic Festivals as well as composer concerts produced by the music department.
He left the program at Brooklyn College to strike out on his own as a composer with an entrepreneurial spirit. He founded Vox Novus in 2000 and created the American Composers Timeline. In 2001 he founded and created a chamber concerts called the Composer\'s Voice Concert Series. This series has been housed in a range of venues in New York City including South Oxford Space in Brooklyn, The Gershwin Hotel, Under St. Mark's Theater, Collective: Unconscious, Christ St. Stephen's Church, and most recently found its home at Jan Hus Church. In 2002, Robert Voisey became the vice President of the Living Music Foundation.
Voisey first came up with the idea for 60x60 in 2002, put out a call, and produced the premier of 60x60 in 2003 at Under St. Mark's Theater. Over a decade, Robert Voisey has brought the 60x60 project to hundreds of venues across the globe including New York City\'s World Financial Center Winter Garden Atrium, Stratford Circus, the Sheldon for the American Art Experience in St. Louis, In 2008, he created a short live experimental video screening series called XMV which was presented at Collective: Unconscious. And in 2009, he created the Fifteen Minutes of Fame project. In 2011 Voisey became the Organizational Advancement Director for the Electronic Music Midwest festival.

# The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau
**The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau** is a project that aims to provide, for the first time, accurate texts of the complete works of American author Henry David Thoreau, including his journal, personal letters, and writings for publication. Since the project was founded in 1966, Princeton University Press has published 18 of its volumes. It is based at the University of California, Santa Barbara Library, and has been directed by Elizabeth Witherell since 1980. The project has in the past been funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Trust for the Humanities, and is now funded by UC Santa Barbara.
There were already editions of Thoreau\'s works until the title *The Writings of Henry David Thoreau* in 1893 (10 volumes), 1899, 1900, and 1906 (20 volumes).
## Progress
The project has published 18 volumes:
` ``{{bulleted list |''[[Walden]]'' (1971) |''The Maine Woods (1972)''| ''Reform Papers (1973)''| ''Early Essays and Miscellanies (1975)''|''A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers'' (1980) | ''Journal 1: 1837-1844 (1981)''| ''Journal 2: 1842-1848 (1984)''| ''Translations (1986)''| ''Cape Cod (1988)''| ''Journal 3: 1848-1851 (1990)''| ''Journal 4: 1851-1852 (1992)''| ''Journal 5: 1852-1853 (1997)''| ''Journal 6: 1853 (2000)''| ''Journal 8: 1854 (2002)''| ''Excursions (2007)''| ''Journal 7: 1853-1854 (2009)''| ''Correspondence 1: 1834-1848 (2013)''| ''Correspondence 2: 1849-1856 (2018)''.}}`{=mediawiki}` `
When complete, the project will comprise 30 volumes. The remaining 12, now in progress, contain works that are either unpublished or that have previously been incorrectly or incompletely transcribed: *Correspondence* (third volume), *Poems*, *Nature Essays* (2 volumes), and *Journals 9-16*.
## Online journal transcripts {#online_journal_transcripts}
Images of the sixteen manuscript volumes Thoreau kept from 1854 through 1861 are available online by the courtesy of the Morgan Library & Museum. Links to these transcripts can be found on the project\'s website.

# Angor animi
**Angor animi** (also referred to as **angina animi**, **Gairdner\'s disease** and also **angina pectoris sine dolore**), in medicine, is a symptom defined as a patient\'s *perception* that they are in fact dying. Most cases of *angor animi* are found in patients with acute coronary syndrome (cardiac-related chest pain) such as myocardial infarction. It is, however, occasionally found in patients with other conditions. Pheochromocytoma also can present with angor animi, accompanied by other symptoms that include; profuse sweating, palpitations and characteristically a pounding severe headache. Irukandji syndrome is also another reported cause.
*Angor animi* is differentiated from a *fear* or *desire* for death, since *angor animi* refers to a patient\'s actual and genuine *belief* that they are in fact dying. \_\_TOC\_\_
## Etymology
The phrase is derived from the two Latin terms which it is composed of, namely *angor* and *animi*.
*Angor* (different from but related to the word anger in modern English), refers to a great anxiety, distress, or mental anguish often accompanied by a painful constriction and palpitations at the upper abdomen and lower thorax (chest).
*Animi* means an animating spirit, intention or temper

# Ebenezer Mill
**Ebenezer Mill** is a mill located in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was constructed as a turbine mill to grind corn and wheat, and later modified for use as a saw mill. The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 as an example of a late-19th century gristmill.
The mill sits on the banks of Ten Mile Creek (originally Sinking Creek) on the site of what was once the \"Mansion Mill,\" a smaller gristmill built c. 1835 for the McClung estate. The Mansion Mill was replaced by the current Ebenezer Mill c. 1870. The Ebenezer Mill was severely damaged by a flood in 1942 and rebuilt in a more modern style, though much of the original machinery is still intact

# Grises de Humacao
**Grises de Humacao** (lit. \"Humacao Greys\") were a basketball team based in Humacao, Puerto Rico, which competed in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN), the top professional league in Puerto Rico, until the relocation of the team following the 2023 season. Following unanimous league approval, the team was sold to a new ownership group, and moved to become the Criollos de Caguas.
## History
The team was originally created in 2005, when the Toritos de Cayey franchise was moved to Humacao. The Grises\' homecourtwais the Emilio Huyke Coliseum. In 2010 Antonio \"Tonin\" Casillas, the team\'s owner, decided to give the franchise a makeover and changed the name to Caciques de Humacao. The main reason was to reflect a more positive image on a city which has always been known as the \"gray\" city. The change also shifted the public opinion on to the Taino heritage of the city and honors the chieftain Jumakao, who fought a rebellion against the Spanish over 500 years ago.
### Expansion franchise & forced sale (2021--2024) {#expansion_franchise_forced_sale_20212024}
Prior to the 2021 season, the league granted Florida-based businessman Ernesto Cambo a new franchise under the name of Grises de Humacao. The team replaced the Caciques, which were transferred to Guayama in 2019. Cambo named himself coach and brought in his son, Anthony, as an imported player. These decisions, among others, meant that the team were never successful in the three seasons that Cambo was owner. In the fall of 2023, following unanimous league approval, the team was sold to a new ownership group, and moved to become the Criollos de Caguas ahead of the 2024 season

# Krefeld-Linn
**Linn** has been a part of the city of Krefeld, Germany, since its incorporation into that city in 1901. Linn lies with its historic city center within the lower Rhenish lowlands about 5 km east of the Krefeld city center. Krefeld-Linn station is served by the Rhein-Niers-Bahn and the Emscher-Niederrhein-Bahn Regionalbahn services.
The place known as Linn was first mentioned in an Imperial document composed between 1090 and 1120. By the beginning of the fourteenth century, Linn must have been raised to the status of a city, as in another document in 1314, city jurors were named.
Particularly worth seeing in Linn are the Burg Linn (Linn Castle), a Wasserburg---a castle on the Rhine surrounded by a water-filled moat\--construction on which began in the twelfth century, along with the layout of its fortifications and parkland; the *Jagdschloß* (hunting lodge) located on the grounds of the Burg Linn; the *Greiffenhorst-Schlösschen* (Greiffenhorst Mansion); the *Deutsche Textilmuseum* (German Textile Museum); as well as the Lower Rhine *Landschaftsmuseum* which belongs to the *Museumszentrum Burg Linn* (Museum Center of Burg Linn).
Linn was spared destruction through both world wars. Nearly the entire Linn city center stands today subject to historic preservation.
Every year at the Pentecost or Whitsuntide weekend, the historic flax market is set up by the Burg Linn. This traditional market for handmade goods is an occasion fondly regarded well beyond the borders of Krefeld, and each year beckons thousands of visitors to Linn

# Indios de Mayagüez (basketball)
**Indios de Mayagüez** is a Puerto Rican professional basketball team. The team plays in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN). The Indios play their home games in the Palacio de Recreación y Deportes since 1981. The franchise first entered the league in 1956, and Mayagüez has been its home city for all but five of the team\'s active seasons given that the franchise has gone through several hiatuses in its history. Along with the Atléticos de San Germán, the Indians have been the only BSN team permanently based in the western part of Puerto Rico, after the Tiburones de Aguadilla relocated to Santurce and became the Cangrejeros de Santurce in 1998.
The team has advanced to the BSN Finals only once, winning the 2012 season championship over the Capitanes de Arecibo with a record of 22--8 after having just made the playoffs for the first time in franchise history in 2009. The team has qualified for the playoffs in 3 seasons of their 59-year existence.
## History
After a failed first attempt during the 1956 and 1957 seasons, Mayagüez has had a BSN franchise since 1972. With hiatuses between 1958 and 1971, 1997 and finally during the 2005 and 2006 seasons.
### First attempt {#first_attempt}
The City of Mayagüez had its first BSN franchise 1956 where José E. Arraras (who in 2000, would end up owning the team) was a player. In 1957 Eddie Lojo joined a team that also had the \"Marvelous Blondie\" (rubio maravilloso) Jaime Frontera and Pedro 'Golo' Laracuente, his first season in the league and the only one with Mayagüez. Rafael 'Bolote' Selosse was the head coach. Gabriel Castro Rivera, known for the 'Los Indios de mi Pueblo' program, was a co-owner along with William Navas and Mario Quintero. Between 1958 and 1971 Mayagüez entered its first hiatus as a franchise, returning to the league in 1972.
### A solid team 1972--1982 {#a_solid_team_19721982}
By that year, the team owners were, Segismundo López and Enrique 'Chino' Vázquez Báez, the team played in the gymnasium/coliseum of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (RUM) until 1980. The 1972 roster included such legendary figures as Eugenio 'Geño' Borrero (72-79), John Burgos, José 'Cheo' Mangual (72--77 and 79--83) and ponceño Tomas 'Guabina' Gutiérrez. In 1973 Andrés 'Conga' Cepeda (73--80), 'Piro' Cabrera and Jack Allison arrived. The 1974 roster included Víctor Secuola and Ralph Menar and in 1975 José (Joe) Pacheco, was the best scorer of the team equipo with 18PPG. Pacheco only played for Mayagüez that year (beforehand he had played for the Ponce Lions, Caguas and the Bayamón Cowboys). In 1976, Alex Vega, Cesar Fantauzzi (76--77), Elket Forbes (76,77,81) and Diego Meléndez (76, 81 y 82 with Mayagüez) arrived and took the quintet\'s offense along with Menar. Yamil Brunet (76--77) was there for two seasons and Alex Vega (76--82) played with Mayagüez for seven seasons.
In 1977, the new team stars were Nelson Richardson and Dino Robertson. Robertson (77-78) only played two seasons in the league, both for Mayagüez, and averaged 24 PPG. Richardson played in Mayagüez for 5 seasons (77-81). During the 1978 season, the roster was intact, only with Secuola\'s return who was with Mayagüez on three occasions (74, 78, 80). The 1979 season saw the team adding locals, José 'Gorilon' Alicea (79--83) and Rubén Bayron (79--81). In 1980 the approval of the entrance of players from other Latin American countries into the BSN made possible the hiring of Dominican Frank Prats, who only played for two seasons (80 and 82). The 1980s brought many legendary figures near the end of their careers to Mayagüez. Among them were the great Teófilo 'Teo' Cruz, who played for \"the tribe\" between 1981 and 1982, when he retired from basketball and Héctor 'El Mago' Blondet who wore the \"taíno\" uniform during the 1981 season. The 1981 season also had Jaime Rivera, Rolando Alvarez, Noel Martin and Pete Aguilar (81--83). This season was filled with many high expectations from the fans as the team signed various veteran starting players and moved into the Sports and Recreation Palace. After losing their first three games, the team fired their American coach and Radio reporter Johnny Flores, who worked as assistant coach took the job, achieving 6 consecutive victories and becoming a sensation, until Mayaguez confronted the league-leading Ponce Lions when a fight broke out between the teams and the referees had to suspend play and five players from \"the tribe\", ending the team\'s hopes for the rest of the season. In 1982 Juan 'Conejo' Rosas and Juan Alverio (82--86 and 90) arrived in what was Mario Henry Rodriguez\'s last year with the team. Rodríguez had been playing with the team for eight seasons (75--82).
### Glory Days 1983--1988 {#glory_days_19831988}
With Dr. Ariel Rojas Davis, Eudaldo Báez Cruz and Dr. Iván Martínez Deliz as club owners, 1983 saw the arrival of Vicente Ithier (83-88 and 90 in Cabo Rojo), Gerry Ocasio (83--87), Bradley Pacheco (83 y 84) and Eddie Torres (1983). A year later (1984) Mexican-American Julio Gallardo (84--87 and 89 in Cabo Rojo) arrived, Germán Hernández (85 y 86) and Manny Figueroa (one season) would arrive in 1985. In 1986 Richard Soto (86--93) a humble but always effective center arrived. Mike Santos wore Mayaguez\'s uniform in 1986 and 87. In 1987 four new players entered the club (Pedro Albizu, Raymond de Jesús, Mitchell and Gerald Lebrón). De Jesús would stay the longest with the team, playing for six seasons (87--92). In '88' Gustavo Santos and Frank Memoli (88--89) arrived.

# Indios de Mayagüez (basketball)
## History
### Relocation to Cabo Rojo {#relocation_to_cabo_rojo}
Disagreements in the rental fee of the Recreation Palace with the Municipal Administration of Mayaguez forced club directors to relocate the team south to the neighboring town of Cabo Rojo and the team became the **Taínos de Cabo Rojo**. The 1989 season starred played as Raymond De Jesús, Richard Soto, Memoli and 'Gus' Santos. In 1990, Ian Lockhart (90--92 and 2007) and Ramón 'Rayo' Rivera (90--93) arrived. In 1991 Tony Echevarría (89--93) became a stellar player as he was tall, good but undisciplined. Only for the 1992 season Reyes Ortiz joined the team. In 1993 the Bocachica brothers, Johnny 'El Diablo' Caraballo and Marcus Webb arrived. These coaches while the club was in Cabo Rojo were Johnny Flores, 'Paquin' Abreu, Rick Shore and Don Silveri.
### Return to Mayagüez 1994--1999 {#return_to_mayagüez_19941999}
In the year 1994, the team moved back to Mayagüez and became the **Taínos de Mayagüez**. They presented a club led by Aguadillan Jorge Medrano, former Cowboy Alberto Montañéz (94 y 95), Jorge Rivera, 'Mandy', Cesar Bocachica and Franklin Román (94 and 98), among others. In 1995 Edwin Pellot wore the uniform of Mayagüez as also did Joel Quiñones (95, 96, 2009 and 2010). In \'96\' came Geno Soto (96, 2000, 01). That year the Tainos had a great reinforcement in Anthony Douglas. In 1997 the franchise took a season hiatus and returned for the 1998 season, which starred Carlos Escaleea, John Cotte and in which Matt Nover was also a productive player.
In 1999, with Jose E. Arraras as club owner, Fernando Ortiz and Christian Dalmau arrived (later Damon Santiago and Gerardo Zayas would arrive in a controversial trade with San Germán for Dalmau). T.L. Latson (99--2004) and Guillermo 'Panamá' Meyer helped the cause for many years. During that time, Alfred \"Butch\" Lee Edgardo Vechio and 'Pito' Vargas coached the team
### 2000s
By 2001, team owner Don Luis Falto began to invest large amounts of money without skimping on expenses and brought to Mayagüez the best players and leaders available (Edgardo Vechio, 'Butch' Lee, Flor Meléndez). This good-willed experiment didn\'t work as it was a very talented team but lacked discipline (Andrés Guibert, Lázaro Borrel, Orlando Vega, Tyler Brown, James Carter, Elmyr García, Freddie Martínez, Ferdinand Morales, Michelo Dávila, Josué Nieves, Leroy Jackson, Joe Murray, Gary Joe Burgos, Puruco Latimer, Lee Benson, Bimbo Carmona and Ricardo Dalmau. Most of them were veterans who had already seen the best of their careers. It\'s worth noting that during this time Mayagüez also signed the best prospects of the decade: José Juan Barea, Alexander Galindo, Jesus Verdejo, Felix Davila y Samuel Hernandez, who became reserve players for the team because the NCAA changed its eligibility rules with respect to Puerto Rican players who formed part of the BSN as well as the NCAA. This experiment lasted until yet another hiatus in 2005 and 2006. During the hiatus, the franchise forgot to send his roster of players to the league, losing the booking fees on all players, including the college reserves. The franchise returned to the league in 2007, near the point of dissolving. It had several problems with coaches Wigberto Quintana, Gabi Miranda, Manolo Cintron and Omar González. Keenan Jourdon (2007--10) became the team leader. That year Giovanni Jiménez (2007--present) as well as cubans Ángel Caballero y Roberto Herrera arrived and performed well. In 2008 Eddie Casiano, former Puerto Rico national team member, retires as player, succumbing to the many lesions. In 2009, their first season under owner Luis Vargas and Eddie Casiano as head coach, they reached their first semi finals in franchise history. They lost to eventual the eventual BSN champions, the Bayamón Cowboys in the semi-final series 4--2. That year, Luis Vargas won the Owner of the Year Award and Eddie Casiano won the Coach of the Year Award.

### The road to the championship 2010--2011 {#the_road_to_the_championship_20102011}
In 2010, Mayagüez started the season 0--10 due in part to injuries to key players, including a season-ending injury to their captain, Giovanni Jimenez. Their first win of the season came April, 3rd 2010 against fellow rivals, the San Germán Athletics in a game played at the Rebekah Colberg Coliseum in Cabo Rojo. The game ended 87--83 in a win for Mayagüez. The Indios finished the season with a 7--22 mark, one of their worst in franchise history.
During the 2011 season, Mayagüez were determined to turn things around and forget their horrendous 2010 season. They signed Venezuela\'s national team player, Héctor \"Pepito\" Romero as their key addition. Also added were some role players such as Eric Rodríguez and Héctor Valenzuela during the off season. They selected Carlos Rivera from a special draft from Leones de Ponce and former Siena player Edwin Ubiles in the BSN\'s new players Draft. Their key loss was townsman Alex Galindo, to the Gallitos de Isabela.
Mayagüez started the 2011 season with two losses to the Piratas de Quebradillas and the Gallitos de Isabela. Their struggles continued, but in their third game of the season, played at the Palacio de Recreación y Deportes, they finally got their first win of the season, against power house Santurce Crabbers by a final score of 80--68 to the delight of fans in attendance. By mid season, Mayagüez would again confront problems with Héctor Romero (knee injury) and Herve Laminaza (family problems). The team then signed Dwayne Jones, Sean Williams, Lee Nailon and Brandon Robinson to substitute these players. Mayagüez would be in race for the eighth and final spot of the playoffs but the team had two games confiscated and reschedule to be replayed because of an ineligible player change for Herve Laminaza`{{explain|date=October 2015}}`{=mediawiki}. The league ruled that the substitution of Lee Nailon for Herve Laminaza surpassed the team\'s maximum player change and ruled that the games played by Nailon had to be played again. This determination was devastating for the team\'s aspirations for the playoffs as they lost one of those two games with the Piratas de Quebradillas and the team fell short by two games to make it to the playoffs for the second time in three seasons. Mayagüez finished with a 10-20 record in 2011.
### Champions
During the 2012 season, Mayagüez would begin the season with only 9 players signed. The Puerto Rican press had put them as the worst team in the BSN League. With no major stars in the team, Eddie Casiano, who won the Mexican League Championship earlier in the year with Halcones Rojos Veracruz, would be optimistic about these team\'s players. Their first meeting of the season was against the defending back-to-back BSN champions, the Arecibo Captains. Everyone predicted a blowout win for Arecibo, but Mayagüez shocked the champions and ruined their opening game celebrations with an 80-70 win.
The Indios started the season 2-0, before falling to the Bayamón Cowboys on March, 6 (90-83). After blowing an 11-point lead going into the fourth quarter with Guaynabo on March 9, 2012 for a 95--94 loss, Mayagüez won three straight to put their record at 5--2. Another loss to Bayamón on March 17, 2012 dropped them to 5--3. The Indios then went on an 8-game winning streak, the longest for any team that season to obtained the first position on the standing with a 13--3 mark. Their rivals and fellow neighbors the San Germán Athletics beat Mayagüez on April 7, 2012 87--79 stopping the Indios\' 8-game winning streak.
Another three-game winning streak put the Indios\' record at 16-4. Another showdown against San Germán on April 16, 2012 marked the worst loss of the season for the Indios de Mayagüez, a 107-75 loss at the Palacio de Recreación y Deportes Coliseum of Mayagüez, dropping their record to 16-5. After a loss to Guayama on April 19, 2012, Mayagüez won three straight games.
On June 8, 2012, they defeated Arecibo 72--61 in Game 5 of the Finals to win their first BSN Championship in team history

# Concert party (business)
A **\'concert party**\' is a group of people acting in concert in a takeover bid. In the UK, there are rules for such bids, regulated by regulators such as the Takeover Panel.
There is a 30% threshold at which a mandatory offer must be made. This is considered to be reached when a concert party jointly hold 30% of the shares in a company, not when one of them does. The same applies to other financial instrument holdings such as derivatives. Some entities are presumed to be acting in concert unless shown otherwise. These include the directors, subsidiaries, associate companies and the parent company of the bidder.
Even entities that are not part of a concert party may find that rules applying to them: they are required to disclose dealings in the share of the bidder or the target. These \"associates\" are people who have an interest in the outcome of the bid (other than simply as shareholders) but who are not deliberately acting in concert with the bidder, An example of associates are the directors the target company even when they are not acting in concert with either the bidder or a potential counter-bidder

# Cariduros de Fajardo
**Cariduros de Fajardo** were a professional basketball team of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN), founded in 1973. Based in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, the team played at the Tomás Dones Coliseum, and contested the BSN, the top division of basketball in Puerto Rico.
## History
The team was founded in 1973 and participated in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional before folding in 1998 due to financial issues. The original franchise featured notable players such as Georgie Torres, Edgar León, Wilson Oquendo, Oscar Fuentes and Daniel Vasallo, as well as coach Julio Toro. The team played at the Evaristo Aponte Sanabria court before moving to the Tomas Dones Coliseum in 1992. Their best season was that same year, when they reached the semifinals for the first time in franchise history before being swept by the eventual finals runners-up, Capitanes de Arecibo. In 1996, Fajardo added rookie Carlos Arroyo, who became a fan favorite before being traded to Santurce. The team folded in 1998.
In 2007, the Titanes de Morovis and owner Marcelino Garcia relocated to Fajardo where the team was renamed Nietos de Marcelino. Taking advantage of a new rule that allowed grandsons of Puerto Ricans to enter the draft, Fajardo drafted Javier Mojica, Jesse Pellot-Rosa and Kevin Hamilton, as well as import player Uka Agbai. With a roster of young players, the team finished in 1st place during the regular season, and then went on to lose against the eventual 2007 champions, Cangrejeros de Santurce, in the semifinals. The team again faced financial issues the following year and dissolved after three years of inactivity, but individual players would go on to see success: Javier Mojica won a championship with Bayamón, Kevin Hamilton won a championship with Mayagüez and Jesse Pellot-Rosa was named league MVP with San Germán.
On January 14, 2017, the team was re-founded for the 2017 season with the purchase of the Atenienses de Manatí franchise by former NBA player Carlos Arroyo and later relocation to his hometown in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
In May 2021, the team was sold and converted to the Gigantes de Carolina. The following month, the Santeros de Aguada were relocated to Fajardo, where they again play as the Cariduros de Fajardo. In December 2023, it was announced that the team will be relocated back to Aguada and be known by their former name Santeros de Aguada
