# Zoghby Initiative ## Current status of the plan {#current_status_of_the_plan} So far, neither the Catholic Church nor the Orthodox Church has accepted the Zoghby initiative. Speaking for the Catholic Church, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) commented that \"premature, unilateral initiatives are to be avoided, where the eventual results may not have been sufficiently considered.\" The Antiochian Orthodox Church was circumspect toward his initiative, declaring in October 1996 that \"our Synod believes that inter-communion cannot be separated from the unity of faith. Moreover, inter-communion is the last step in the quest for unity and not the first.\" However, certain Orthodox leaders praised Zoghby\'s candor and goals; Bishop Vsevolod Maidansky of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, for example, wrote that Zoghby \"invites us all to an ecumenical metanoia, a change in our hearts from the habit of seeking even more excuses to refrain from Eucharistic Communion.\" Although Zoghby\'s proposal of double communion has not been accepted by the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church, the initiative focused greater attention on ecumenical discussions and renewed efforts for East--West unity

# The central science Chemistry is often called **the central science** because of its role in connecting the physical sciences, which include chemistry, with the life sciences, pharmaceutical sciences and applied sciences such as medicine and engineering. The nature of this relationship is one of the main topics in the philosophy of chemistry and in scientometrics. The phrase was popularized by its use in a textbook by Theodore L. Brown and H. Eugene LeMay, titled *Chemistry: The Central Science*, which was first published in 1977, with a fifteenth edition published in 2021. The central role of chemistry can be seen in the systematic and hierarchical classification of the sciences by Auguste Comte. Each discipline provides a more general framework for the area it precedes (mathematics → astronomy → physics → chemistry → biology → social sciences). Balaban and Klein have more recently proposed a diagram showing the partial ordering of sciences in which chemistry may be argued is \"the central science\" since it provides a significant degree of branching. In forming these connections the lower field cannot be fully reduced to the higher ones. It is recognized that the lower fields possess emergent ideas and concepts that do not exist in the higher fields of science. Thus chemistry is built on an understanding of laws of physics that govern particles such as atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, thermodynamics, etc. although it has been shown that it has not been \"fully \'reduced\' to quantum mechanics\". Concepts such as the periodicity of the elements and chemical bonds in chemistry are emergent in that they are more than the underlying forces defined by physics. In the same way, biology cannot be fully reduced to chemistry, although the machinery that is responsible for life is composed of molecules. For instance, the machinery of evolution may be described in terms of chemistry by the understanding that it is a mutation in the order of genetic base pairs in the DNA of an organism. However, chemistry cannot fully describe the process since it does not contain concepts such as natural selection that are responsible for driving evolution. Chemistry is fundamental to biology since it provides a methodology for studying and understanding the molecules that compose cells. Connections made by chemistry are formed through various sub-disciplines that utilize concepts from multiple scientific disciplines. Chemistry and physics are both needed in the areas of physical chemistry, nuclear chemistry, and theoretical chemistry. Chemistry and biology intersect in the areas of biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, chemical biology, molecular genetics, and immunochemistry. Chemistry and the earth sciences intersect in areas like geochemistry and hydrology

Jensen retired from active duty on July 22, 2011 after 36 years of service. ## Biography Carl B. Jensen graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism, and also holds a Master of Science degree in National Security Strategy from the National War College. Major General Jensen was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in 1975 through the Platoon Leaders Course. After completing The Basic School, Jensen entered flight training and was designated a Naval Aviator in August, 1977. Afterwards, he reported to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, where he was assigned to HML-167, Marine Aircraft Group 29, and served in a variety of billets including Ground Safety Officer, Intelligence Officer, and Adjutant. Subsequently, Jensen was assigned to HMH-461 as the Intelligence Officer for an amphibious deployment to Norway, and upon return received orders to 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines in Okinawa, Japan where he served as the Air Liaison Officer and H&S Company Commander. Returning from overseas, he attended Amphibious Warfare School from 1981 to 1982, and was then reassigned to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing where he served in HMLA-167, HMM-365, HMM-261, and MAG-26 Headquarters. During this tour, he graduated from the Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron-1 Weapons & Tactics Instructor course and held numerous billets including Flight Line Officer, Assistant Operations Officer, Operations Officer, and Group Weapons & Tactics Officer. From 1987 through 1990, Jensen attended the Armed Forces Staff College, and was subsequently assigned to the Department of Aviation in the Aviation Plans, Programs, and Budget Branch, Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC). During 1990 and 1991, he deployed with MAG-50 as the Weapons & Tactics Officer in support of Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Following the conflict, Jensen served alternately as the Executive Officer and then Commanding Officer of HMLA-367, and also as the aviation combat element Commander of Special Purpose MAGTF (Philippines) during the U.S. withdrawal from NAS Subic Bay. After squadron command, Jensen became the Executive Officer of MAG-39, and subsequently attended the National War College from 1995 to 1996. Following school, he was assigned to The Joint Staff Pentagon, as the Strategic Plans Branch Chief in the J-5 Strategy Division. During 1998, Jensen then received orders to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing Headquarters, and subsequently commanded MAG-39 from 1999 to 2001. Following his MAG-39 command tour, Major General Jensen returned to the Pentagon for assignment as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development & Acquisition), Expeditionary Forces Programs. Jensen was then assigned as the Deputy Director for Operations, J-3, Joint Staff, in the National Military Command Center. In 2004, Jensen assumed concurrent responsibilities as the Commander, Marine Corps Air Bases Western Area, and also the Commanding General, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, San Diego, California. In June 2005, Jensen assumed command of Expeditionary Strike Group Three and deployed in 2006 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom. During this deployment, he twice served as Commander Task Force 158, commanding all Coalition Naval and Marine forces operating in the North Persian Gulf and Iraqi territorial waters. Further, he served as Commander Task Force 59, leading the Joint non-combatant evacuation of American citizens from Lebanon in the summer of 2006. In January 2006, Jensen was nominated for promotion from Brigadier General to the rank of Major General. From July 2007 to July 2008, Jensen was Deputy Commander, U. S. Marine Corps Forces Command. In July 2008, Jensen assumed his final command, as commanding general of the Marine Corps Installations East (MCIE), Camp Lejeune, NC --- commanding bases and stations on the east coast from Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico, Virginia to Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island, Jacksonville, Florida.

# Galaxy 17 **Galaxy 17** is a communications satellite owned by Intelsat to be located at 91° West longitude, serving the North American market. Galaxy 17 was intended to replace SBS 6. It was built by Alcatel Alenia Space (which is now Thales Alenia Space), in its Cannes Mandelieu Space Center, France. Galaxy 17 was launched by Arianespace from Kourou, French Guiana on an Ariane 5 rocket along with Astra 1L. It became operational at 74° West longitude in the geostationary orbit and replaced SBS-6 which was moved out of the geostationary orbit to a parking orbit in the Graveyard orbit. This took place on July 7, 2007. Galaxy 17 began its move to 91° West longitude when Horizons-2 was launched and placed in the 74° West longitude slot. Horizons-2 was originally slated to replace SBS-6 but the launch was delayed, possibly due to the delayed repairs of the Sea Launch vessel. Galaxy 17 is the first primarily European satellite to cover the U.S. Built by a French/Italian manufacturer, it was launched on a French rocket from a French spaceport. Galaxy 17 became operational again in mid July, 2008, when it took over traffic of Galaxy 11. As Galaxy 11 has effectively been replaced, any references to Galaxy 11 can now be considered references to Galaxy 17

# Three Bars A famous sire of Quarter Horses, **Three Bars** (1940--1968) was a registered Thoroughbred racehorse before going on to become a member of the American Quarter Horse Association\'s (or AQHA) American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 1989. ## Life Foaled April 8, 1940, Three Bars was sired by Percentage and out of Myrtle Dee. After a promising showing in race training, he developed leg problems and never raced well before he was six years old. By that time, he was in Arizona, owned by Sidney H. Vail, who paid \$10,000 for him in 1945. Eventually, his leg problems cleared up enough for him to race and show great early speed. He won the Speed Handicap in 1946 at Hipodromo de Tijuana, Tijuana, Mexico; which was a three-fourths of a mile, \$4,000 ungraded stakes race for horses three years old or older. The winning time was 1:10 and a fifth. Vail leased him to Walter Merrick, an early breeder of racing Quarter Horses, for a few years, but also stood him in Arizona and California. Three Bars died in March, 1968 in Oklahoma on Walter Merrick\'s ranch. ## Sire Record {#sire_record} Three Bars was the sire of 29 AQHA Champions, 4 AQHA Supreme Champions, 317 Racing Register of Merit earners, and his foals earned more than \$3 million on the racetrack. Among his famous offspring were Mr. Bar None, Gay Bar King, Sugar Bars, Lightning Bar, Tonto Bars Gill, St. Bar, Steel Bars, and Bar Money. Others include Triple Chick, Alamitos Bar, Bar Depth, Royal Bar, Josie\'s Bar, and Galobar. His grandson Doc Bar became one of the most influential sires of cutting horses ever known. Another grandson, Tonto Bars Hank, sired all around horses. Jewel\'s Leo Bars (Freckles), an outstanding cutting horse and sire of cutting horses, was another grandson of Three Bars (TB). Impressive, a triple descendant of Three Bars, became the most prepotent sire of Quarter Horse halter horses from the 1970s through the 1990s. His offspring Rocket Bar (TB), Sugar Bars, Lena\'s Bar (TB), Lightning Bar and Zippo Pat Bars were all inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame. Of his grandget, Doc Bar, Zippo Pine Bar, Easy Jet, Kaweah Bar, Zan Parr Bar, and The Invester were inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame. Four of his sons were AQHA Supreme Champions --- Kid Meyers, Bar Money, Fairbars, and Goldseeker Bars

# Knud Leem **Knud Leem** (13 February 1697 -- 27 February 1774) was a Norwegian priest and linguist, most known for his work with the Sami people and the Sami languages. ## Biography Knud Leem was born in Haram in Romsdalen county, Norway to parish priest Niels Knudssøn Leem and his wife Anne Danielsdatter Bugge. Leem started theological studies at Copenhagen University in 1713 and got his theological degree two years later at 18 years of age. He worked as a teacher and assistant to more senior priests until 1725 when he got a position as missionary for the Samis in Porsanger. In 1725 he moved back to southern Norway where he was appointed vicar in Avaldsnes Church. He was appointed vicar in Alta Church in Finnmark during 1728. Dating from 1752, Leem headed the Seminarium Lapponicum Fredericianum in Trondheim until his death in 1774. ## Sami studies {#sami_studies} At the Seminarium Lapponicum, Knud Leem was assisted by Anders Porsanger in his work on a Sami dictionary. Leem had first started the linguistic study of Sámi when he published a grammar book in 1748. Between 1756 and 1768, he published two dictionaries. He also produced *Lexicon Lapponicum Bipartituma*, a trilingual lexicon to and from the Sami language into both Danish and Latin (1768--1781). Leem\'s grammar book shows an insight into Sámi that was not present in many other grammar books of the same era. Leem uses an inflection classification quite similar to the one being used today. He also commented on consonant gradation, but more as a tendency than as a rule. ## Topographic work {#topographic_work} Knud Leem's most important topographic work, *Beskrivelse over Finmarkens Lapper deres Tungemaal, Levemaade og forrige Afgudsdyrkelse* (1767), was supplied with comments from Bishop Johan Ernst Gunnerus and a large historic-religious study written by Erik Johan Jessen-Schardeböll (1705--1783), who was the Danish General Church inspector. Leem described, in both Danish and Latin, the life and livings among the contemporary Sami population, their garments, clothing and dress, food and cooking, hunting, fishing and sport equipment, shamanism and folk belief. A rich, but in many cases distorted, illustrated material, enlarges the value of the documentation about elderly Sami culture, at the same time as the book is among the foremost topographic work published in the Nordic countries during the 18th century. ## Selected works {#selected_works} - *En lappisk Grammatica efter den Dialect, som bruges af Field-Lapperne udi Porsanger-Fiorden : samt et Register over de udi samme Grammatica anførte Observationers Indhold, hvorhos er føyet et Blad af den berømmelige Historie-Skriveres Hr.

# Ludovicus Carretus **Ludovicus Carretus** was a physician and a Jewish convert to Catholic Christianity of the sixteenth century. ## Life He lived at Florence. He was a native of France and was originally called \"Todros Cohen.\" As the physician of a Spanish duke, he was with the imperial troops who besieged Florence in 1545. Later, at the age of fifty, he embraced Catholic Christianity at Genoa. ## Works Carretus is the author of *Mar\'ot Elohim; Liber Visorum Divinorum*, in which he relates the history of his conversion and quotes passages from the Bible and kabbalistic writings in favor of Christianity. The work, published at Paris in 1553, was translated into Latin by Angelo Canini (Florence, 1554) under the title *Epistola Ludovici Carreti ad Judæos, Quæ Inscribitur Liber Visorum Divinorum*. Another Latin translation of it was made by Hermann Germberg, and is inserted in Johannes Buxtorf\'s *Synagoga Judaica*

# Burkholderia thailandensis ***Burkholderia thailandensis*** is a nonfermenting motile, Gram-negative bacillus that occurs naturally in soil. It is closely related to *Burkholderia pseudomallei,* but unlike *B. pseudomallei*, it only rarely causes disease in humans or animals. The lethal inoculum is approximately 1000 times higher than for *B. pseudomallei*. It is usually distinguished from *B. pseudomallei* by its ability to assimilate arabinose. Other differences between these species include lipopolysaccharide composition, colony morphology, and differences in metabolism. ## Use in research {#use_in_research} *Burkholderia thailandensis* is sometimes used to model *B. pseudomallei* infection in mice because of similarities in the immune response. *B. thailandensis* does not require biosafety category 3 facilities and is not considered a biosecurity threat, which makes it easier to study and to work with. Burkholderia thailandensis has secondary products that play an essential role in the ecology of soil bacteria. Co-culture studies showed that B. thailandensis strain E264 produces an antimicrobial substance that prevents the growth of other soil bacteria called Bacillus subtilis strain 168. ## Small RNA {#small_rna} Research suggests that as in other bacteria, small non coding RNAs play a role in response to the environmental and stress conditions like antibiotic exposure and survival in a host-specific environment. Several small RNA have been discovered in *B. thailandenisis:* BHT_s1 and BHT_s39 exhibit differential expression profiles dependent on growth phase and cell stimuli, such as antibiotics and serum. BHT_s39 could function in bacterial metabolism and adaptation to host. BTH_s13 and BTH_s19 may regulate expression of their downstream gene

# Amalgamation property In the mathematical field of model theory, the **amalgamation property** is a property of collections of structures that guarantees, under certain conditions, that two structures in the collection can be regarded as substructures of a larger one. This property plays a crucial role in Fraïssé\'s theorem, which characterises classes of finite structures that arise as ages of countable homogeneous structures. The diagram of the amalgamation property appears in many areas of mathematical logic. Examples include in modal logic as an incestual accessibility relation,`{{clarify|reason = "incestual" seems to be a typo (an accidental one, judging by the article's edit history), as googling "incestual accessibility relation" turns up no results other than this article. this needs to be corrected, or if it actually is correct, a citation is needed.|date=December 2020}}`{=mediawiki} and in lambda calculus as a manner of reduction having the Church--Rosser property. ## Definition An *amalgam* can be formally defined as a 5-tuple (*A,f,B,g,C*) such that *A,B,C* are structures having the same signature, and *f: A* → *B, g*: *A* → *C* are *embeddings*. Recall that *f: A* → *B* is an *embedding* if *f* is an injective morphism which induces an isomorphism from *A* to the substructure *f(A)* of *B*. A class *K* of structures has the amalgamation property if for every amalgam with *A,B,C* ∈ *K* and *A* ≠ Ø, there exist both a structure *D* ∈ *K* and embeddings *f\':* *B* → *D, g\':* *C* → *D* such that $$f'\circ f = g' \circ g. \,$$ A first-order theory $T$ has the amalgamation property if the class of models of $T$ has the amalgamation property. The amalgamation property has certain connections to the quantifier elimination. In general, the amalgamation property can be considered for a category with a specified choice of the class of morphisms (in place of embeddings). This notion is related to the categorical notion of a pullback, in particular, in connection with the strong amalgamation property (see below).

# Amalgamation property ## Examples - The class of sets, where the embeddings are injective functions, and if they are assumed to be inclusions then an amalgam is simply the union of the two sets. - The class of free groups where the embeddings are injective homomorphisms, and (assuming they are inclusions) an amalgam is the quotient group $B*C/A$, where \* is the free product. - The class of finite linear orderings. This is due to the fact that any homogeneous structure from an amalgamation class of finite structure. A similar but different notion to the amalgamation property is the joint embedding property. To see the difference, first consider the class *K* (or simply the set) containing three models with linear orders, *L*~1~ of size one, *L*~2~ of size two, and *L*~3~ of size three. This class *K* has the joint embedding property because all three models can be embedded into *L*~3~. However, *K* does not have the amalgamation property. The counterexample for this starts with *L*~1~ containing a single element *e* and extends in two different ways to *L*~3~, one in which *e* is the smallest and the other in which *e* is the largest. Now any common model with an embedding from these two extensions must be at least of size five so that there are two elements on either side of *e*. Now consider the class of algebraically closed fields. This class has the amalgamation property since any two field extensions of a prime field can be embedded into a common field. However, two arbitrary fields cannot be embedded into a common field when the characteristic of the fields differ. ## Strong amalgamation property {#strong_amalgamation_property} A class *K* of structures has the *strong amalgamation property* (SAP), also called the *disjoint amalgamation property* (DAP), if for every amalgam with *A,B,C* ∈ *K* there exist both a structure *D* ∈ *K* and embeddings *f\':* *B* → *D, g\': C* → *D* such that $$f' \circ f = g' \circ g \,$$ : : and $$f '[B] \cap g '[C] = (f ' \circ f)[A] = (g ' \circ g)[A] \,$$ : : where for any set *X* and function *h* on *X,* $$h \lbrack X \rbrack = \lbrace h(x) \mid x \in X \rbrace

# Kano baseball team The `{{nihongo|'''Kano baseball team'''|嘉農野球部|Kanō yakyūbu|lead=yes}}`{=mediawiki}, officially the `{{nihongo|'''Kagi Agricultural and Forestry School baseball team'''|嘉義農林學校野球部|Kagi Nōrin gakkō yakyūbu}}`{=mediawiki}, was a Taiwanese baseball team established in 1928 in Japanese Formosa. The team was a motley crew that consisted of Han Chinese (Hoklo and Hakka), Taiwanese indigenous people, and Japanese players. The high school baseball team in Kagi (modern-day Chiayi) qualified to represent the island at Koshien, Japan\'s long-running nationwide high school baseball tournament, in 1931. Performing beyond all expectations, the underdog team miraculously went on to the championship game before finally losing to a powerful Japanese squad, ultimately taking second place out of twenty-three teams that year. The amazing success of a team from a colonized land making to the finals was totally unexpected, and it ultimately earned the Taiwanese baseball players greater respect from their Japanese counterparts. The Kano experience also encouraged more people in Taiwan to play baseball, eventually making it the \"national sport\" in Taiwan. *Kano*, a Taiwanese film depicting the baseball team, was released on February 27, 2014

# Cold saw A **cold saw** is a circular saw designed to cut metal which uses a toothed blade to transfer the heat generated by cutting to the chips created by the saw blade, allowing both the blade and material being cut to remain cool. This is in contrast to an abrasive saw, which abrades the metal and generates a great deal of heat absorbed by the material being cut and saw blade. As metals expand when heated, abrasive cutting causes both the material being cut and blade to expand, resulting in increased effort to produce a cut and potential binding. This produces more heat through friction, resulting in increased blade wear and greater energy consumption. Cold saws use either a solid high-speed steel (HSS) or tungsten carbide-tipped, resharpenable circular saw blade. They are equipped with an electric motor and often a gear reduction unit to reduce the saw blade\'s rotational speed while maintaining constant torque. This allows the HSS saw blade to feed at a constant rate with a very high chip load per tooth. Cold saws are capable of machining most ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Additional advantages include minimal burr production, fewer sparks, less discoloration and no dust. Saws designed to employ a flood coolant system to keep saw blade teeth cooled and lubricated may reduce sparks and discoloration completely. Saw blade type and number of teeth, cutting speed, and feed rate all must be appropriate to the type and size of material being cut, which must be mechanically clamped to prevent movement during the cutting process. ## Blades Cold saw blades are circular metal cutting saw blades categorized into two types: solid HSS or tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT). Both types of blades are resharpenable and may be used many times before being discarded. Cold saw blades are used to cut metal using a relatively slow rotational speed, usually less than 5000 surface feet per minute (SFM) (25 m/s), and a high chip load per tooth, usually between .001\"--.003\" (0.025--0.08 mm) per tooth. These blades are driven by a high power motor and high-torque gear reduction unit or an AC vector drive. During the cutting process, the metal is released in a shearing action by the teeth as the blade turns and the feed mechanism moves the blade forward. They are called \"cold saw blades\" because they transfer all the energy and heat created during the cutting process to the chip. This enables the blade and the work material to remain cold.

# Cold saw ## Blades ### Classification The first type of cold saw blade, solid HSS, may be made from either M2 tool steel or M35 tool steel, alloyed with additional cobalt. Solid HSS saw blades are heat treated and hardened to 64/65 HRC for ferrous cutting applications and 58/60 HRC for non-ferrous cutting applications. This high hardness gives the cutting edges of the teeth a high resistance to heat and wear. However, this increased hardness also makes the blades brittle and not very resistant to shock. In order to produce a high quality HSS cold saw blade, it is necessary to start with very flat and properly tensioned raw material. The blades must be press quenched after hardening to prevent them from being warped. HSS saw blades are typically hollow ground for clearance during the cutting process. The term HSS doesn\'t necessarily mean what it implies. These blades are usually never run at surface speeds higher than 350 SFM. Solid HSS cold saw blades may be used for cutting many different shapes and types of metal including: tubes, extrusions, structural sections, billets, bars, ingots, castings, forgings etc. These blades may also be coated with special wear resistant coatings such as titanium nitride (TiN) or titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN), but are more commonly used commercially with a black oxide coating aiding in better coolant distribution over the surface area of the cutting blade. The second type of cold saw blade, tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT), are made with an alloy steel body and tungsten carbide inserts brazed to the tips of the teeth. These tips are ground on all surfaces to create tangential and radial clearance and provide the proper cutting and clearance angles on the teeth. The alloy body is generally made from a wear-resistant material such as a chrome vanadium steel, heat treated to 38/42 HRC. The tungsten carbide tips are capable of operating at much higher temperatures than solid HSS, therefore, TCT saw blades are usually run at much higher surface speeds. This allows carbide-tipped blades to cut at faster rates and still maintain an acceptable chip load per tooth. These blades are commonly used for cutting non-ferrous alloys, but have gained significant popularity for ferrous metal cutting applications in the last 10 years. The tungsten carbide inserts are extremely hard (98 HRC) and capable of very long wear life. However, they are less resistant to shock than solid HSS cold saw blades. Any vibration during the cutting process may severely damage the teeth. These cold saw blades need to be driven by a backlash free gear box and a constant feed mechanism like a ball-screw feed. ## Portable saws {#portable_saws} Portable cold saws were primarily designed for sheet metal roofers in the building industry, and can cut up to 6 mm thick mild steel. Cold saws, as opposed to abrasive saws, are used so that protective coatings are not damaged. They have a heavy duty aluminium catcher which is useful for capturing the swarf, and use cermet tipped blades

# Chlorotrifluoroethylene **Chlorotrifluoroethylene** (**CTFE**) is a chlorofluorocarbon with chemical formula CFCl=CF~2~. It is commonly used as a refrigerant in cryogenic applications. CTFE has a carbon-carbon double bond and so can be polymerized to form polychlorotrifluoroethylene or copolymerized to produce the plastic ECTFE. PCTFE has the trade name Neoflon PCTFE from Daikin Industries in Japan, and it used to be produced under the trade name Kel-F from 3M Corporation in Minnesota. ## Production and reactions {#production_and_reactions} Chlorotrifluoroethylene is produced commercially by the dechlorination of 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane with zinc: : CFCl~2~-CF~2~Cl + Zn → CClF=CF~2~ + ZnCl~2~ In 2012, an estimated 1--10 million pounds were produced commercially in the United States. Addition of iodine monochloride to chlorotrifluoroethylene gives iododichlorotrifluoroethane: : The latter is a precursor to hexafluorobutadiene. Thermal dimerization of chlorotrifluoroethylene gives 1,2-dichloro-1,2,3,3,4,4-hexafluorocyclobutane. Dechlorination of the latter gives hexafluorocyclobutene. It undergoes \[2+2\] cycloaddition to vinyl acetate

# Roeliff Brinkerhoff **Roeliff Brinkerhoff** (June 28, 1828 -- June 4, 1911) was a lawyer, editor and owner of the *Mansfield Herald*, and later a bank president. He was a quartermaster and supply officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War, rising to the rank of colonel. In recognition of his service, he was nominated in 1866 and confirmed in 1867 for appointment to the grade of brevet brigadier general of volunteers. His work, \"The Volunteer Quartermaster\" was considered the definitive text on military logistics and transportation from the Civil War until World War I. He also founded the Ohio Historical Society and succeeded former President Rutherford B. Hayes as president of the American National Prison Congress. ## Early life and career {#early_life_and_career} Roeliff (often mistakenly known as \'Ruloff\') was born in Owasco, Cayuga County, New York. His parents were Joris R. "George" (1785-1849) and Jacomyntje Bevier Brinkerhoff (1794-1830), of Dutch descent. He was also of French Huguenot descent and was a direct descendant of Louis DuBois. At the age of sixteen, he became a teacher in his native town, while at eighteen he was in charge of a school near Hendersonville, Tennessee. The following year he was the tutor in the family of Andrew Jackson Jr. before moving to Mansfield, Ohio, to study law with his relative Jacob Brinkerhoff. He was admitted to the bar in 1852, and remained in active practice from that time until after the outbreak of hostilities during the American Civil War. He also served as editor the *Mansfield Herald* newspaper. Brinkerhoff was married on February 3, 1852, to Mary Lake Bentley, of Mansfield, a granddaughter of General Robert Bentley, a general in the Ohio militia in the War of 1812, later a lawyer, judge and state senator. They had two sons and two daughters. A firm believer in prison and asylum reform, he was at first a free-soil Democrat, then a Republican, and then, following the unsuccessful Liberal Republican Party movement of 1872, a Democrat once more; he was described as a \"Jeffersonian democrat, a believer in free trade, hard money, home rule, and the non-interference principles of government generally.\"

# Roeliff Brinkerhoff ## Civil War {#civil_war} He joined the army in September 1861 as a first lieutenant and regimental quartermaster of the 64th Ohio Infantry. He was known by some accounts as the first officer to join the \"Sherman Brigade\" under Brigadier General William Tecumseh Sherman. In December 1861, he was assigned to the depot at Bardstown, Kentucky. Following the capture of Nashville, he was placed in charge of the land and river transportation in that city and after the Battle of Shiloh, he was ordered to the front and placed in charge of the field transportation of the Army of the Ohio. It was following the capture of Corinth that he returned home on sick leave and when he had sufficiently recovered he was ordered to Maine as Chief Quartermaster of the state, where he quickly became friends with Congressman James G. Blaine. He was then transferred to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and placed in charge of transportation and army stores for the Department of the Susquehanna, and then to Washington D.C. as post quartermaster until June, 1865, when he was made a Colonel and inspector of the quartermaster\'s department. He was retained on duty at the war office with Secretary of War Edwin Stanton until November, when he was ordered to Cincinnati as Chief Quartermaster of the Department of the Ohio. At his own request, Brinkerhoff was mustered out of the volunteers on September 30, 1866. In recognition of Brinkerhoff\'s service, on December 11, 1866, President Andrew Johnson nominated Brinkerhoff for appointment to the grade of brevet brigadier general to rank from September 20, 1866, and the U.S. Senate confirmed the appointment on February 6, 1867. He was the author of a volume entitled, \"The Volunteer Quartermaster,\" a treatise which was considered the standard guide for the officers and employees of the quartermaster\'s department up until the First World War.

# Roeliff Brinkerhoff ## Postbellum career {#postbellum_career} Brinkerhoff was the intimate friend of many nationally prominent figures including Salmon P. Chase, James G. Blaine, James A. Garfield and Rutherford B. Hayes. In 1873, he became President of the Mansfield Savings Bank, and in 1878 was appointed a member of the board of state charities and continued in that position under different administrations serving eleven terms over a period of thirty years. Blaine had initially promised Brinkerhoff an appointment as U.S. Minister to Holland, but schemed to have the sitting Ambassador Hugh Ewing replaced with his brother Charles Ewing, and there is no evidence that Blaine ever actually presented Brinkerhoff\'s name to the President, although both Senator John Sherman and General and Congressman John Beatty claim that Blaine had promised them to do so. He showcased his compassion and liberal idealism when he traded on his political connections to abolish the use of mechanical restraints in treatments of the insane. Although his work was initially deemed \"Brinkerhoff\'s Folly\" by the press, his work led to the Toledo hospital system becoming the model asylum in the United States. He was selected as a member of the commission which selected the plans for its construction. He was one of the earliest American advocates of the cottage system, and understood that public opinion demanded reform and advancement. In 1875, Brinkerhoff founded the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society at his home, whose first president was Senator Allen G. Thurman, followed by Rutherford B. Hayes, and later himself Brinkerhoff upon Hayes\' death. He was soon named President Emeritus of the organization which exists to this day. Through the society he was able to secure legislation and funding for the Ohio Monument at Jefferson Park, in Chicago. In a speech delivered before the legislature, he stated that: When the Ohio monument was dedicated at Jefferson Park, in Chicago, September 14, 1893, General Brinkerhoff delivered one of the principal addresses

# Canossa Castle The **Castle of Canossa** is a castle in Canossa, province of Reggio Emilia, northern Italy, especially known for being the location of the Road to Canossa, the meeting of Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII during the Investiture Controversy (1077). ## History The castle was built around 940 AD by Adalbert Atto, the Count of Beggia and Mantura, and the son of Sigifredo of Lucca, a Lombard nobleman, on the summit of a rocky hill. In addition to Adalberto\'s residence, it also housed a convent with 12 Benedictine monks and the church of Sant\'Apollonio. It was protected by a triple line of walls; located between the outer two layers of defense were the barracks and the residences of the servants. During the Middle Ages, it was one of the most formidable castles in Italy. In 950 Adelaide of Italy, the widow of King Lothair II, took refuge there; Berengar II of Ivrea unsuccessfully besieged the castle for three years. During the Investiture Controversy in 1077, the castle formed the venue for the reconciliation between Henry IV and Gregory VII. The latter had friendly relations with the then-owner, Matilda of Tuscany, who established that her lands should be assigned to the Church after her death (1115). Her heirs, however, would have none of it. In 1255, troops of Reggio destroyed the castle and the church. It was returned to the Canossa family. After the death of Giberto da Correggio in 1321, it was again a possession of Reggio until 1402, when Simone, Guido and Alberto Canossa gained it back; in 1409, however, they ceded it to the House of Este, who (apart from a short period under Ottavio Farnese, Duke of Parma in 1557) held it until 1796. In 1502 Ercole I d\'Este named the poet Ludovico Ariosto as castellan. He resided here for six months. In 1593 Canossa was assigned as fief to the Counts Rondinelli. In 1642 Duke Francesco I entrusted it to the Valentini. The latter were ousted in 1796 by the rebellious local population, who joined the Republic of Reggio. After being returned to the Valentini, in 1878 the Castle was acquired by the Italian State, and was declared a national monument. <File:Castello> di Canossa, comune di Canossa, Reggio Emilia, Italia.JPG\|Ruins - Castle of Canossa <File:Canossa> Castle - Canossa, Reggio Emilia, Italy - September 25, 2012.jpg\|Badlands near Castle of Canossa <File:Castello> di Rossena 2

# Julia Gnuse **Julia Gnuse** (guh-NOO-see) (January 18, 1955 - August 11, 2016), commonly known by the nickname **The Illustrated Lady** or **The Irvine Walker**, was an American woman who had 95% of her body (including her face) covered in tattoos and held the Guinness Record for being the most tattooed woman in the world. In her mid-30s, Gnuse developed porphyria, a condition in which sunlight results in blistering of the skin. As the blisters often result in scarring, she began getting tattoos as a way to cover up the scars, which can get as deep as third degree burns. A friend of Gnuse\'s who was a plastic surgeon had suggested she get her skin tattooed in a pale skin tone color, similar to the color of her scars. This was attempted but did not turn out the way they had hoped. The tattoos did not prevent the skin from blistering as they were purely aesthetic. Instead, she decided to try colorful tattoos, consisting of a variety of themes, including her favorite cartoons, her favorite actors and even a self-portrait. Gnuse appeared on the TV show *Ripley\'s Believe it or Not!*. She also had a small role in Aerosmith\'s music video for their song \"Pink\". In her last year she started to go through laser treatment to get all of her tattoos removed. She lived in Foothill Ranch, California, and died on August 11, 2016

# Joseph Schmidt **Joseph Schmidt** (4 March 1904 -- 16 November 1942) was an Austro-Hungarian and Romanian Jewish tenor. ## Life and career {#life_and_career} Schmidt was born in Davideny (Ukrainian: *Davydivka*) village in the Storozhynets district of the Bukovina province of Austria-Hungary, which became part of Romania after World War I and is now part of Ukraine. In addition to German, which was his first language, and Yiddish, he learned Hebrew and became fluent in Romanian, French and English. His first vocal training was as a boy alto in the Czernowitz Synagogue. His talents were quickly recognised and by 1924 he was featured in his first solo recital in Czernowitz singing traditional Jewish songs and arias by Verdi, Puccini, Rossini and Bizet. Soon he moved to Berlin and took piano and singing lessons from Professor Hermann Weißenborn at the Königliche Musikschule. He returned to Romania for his military service. In 1929, he went back to Berlin, where Cornelis Bronsgeest, a famous Dutch baritone, engaged him for a radio broadcast as Vasco da Gama in Meyerbeer\'s *L\'Africaine*. This was the beginning of a successful international career. Owing to his diminutive stature (he was just over 1.5 m, or 4\' 11\") a stage career was impossible; however his voice was extremely well suited for radio. He made many records, first for Ultraphone, then for Odeon/Parlophone, was featured in many radio broadcasts and acted in several movies in both German and English. After the Nazis came to power in Germany, Joseph Schmidt enjoyed his greatest successes outside that country. In 1937, he toured the United States and performed in Carnegie Hall together with other prominent singers such as Grace Moore. He was still very much welcome in the Netherlands and Belgium, where he was immensely popular. In 1939, he visited his mother in Czernowitz for the last time. As the Second World War was about to erupt, Schmidt was in Belgium and booked steamship passage from Marseilles to the United States. Schmidt was rejected at the Hapag Travel Agency after someone else had assumed his identity and taken his ticket. He was then caught in France by the German invasion. He unsuccessfully attempted to escape to Cuba. After making a dash for the Swiss border, he was interned in a Swiss refugee camp in Girenbad near Zürich in October 1942. He had already been in frail health, and was treated for a throat infection at the local hospital. Schmidt had complained of chest pains, but this was dismissed and he was discharged on 14 November 1942. Just two days later, on 16 November 1942, while attempting to recover at the nearby Waldegg Inn, the famous singer collapsed. The hostess let him rest on her couch, but not long after, she noticed that he was no longer breathing. Schmidt had suffered a heart attack. He was 38 years old. He was to have been issued a work permit the following day, so he would have been able to move freely within Switzerland. Joseph Schmidt is buried at Israelitischer Friedhof Unterer Friesenberg in Zürich. A plaque is mounted at the inn where he died. ## Voice and versatility {#voice_and_versatility} He had a sweet lyric tenor voice with an easy high register, sailing up even to a high D. His voice was also agile, and he possessed a perfect and dependable trill, which he demonstrated on his recordings of \"Ah si ben mio\" from *Il trovatore* and \"Una furtiva lagrima\" from *L\'elisir d\'amore*. His warm timbre was perfectly suited for the melodies of Schubert and Lehár. His popular song recordings were the best-sellers of that age. His ability to adapt to any genre or language made him famous in the Netherlands too: he did not only perform for thousands of fans in open air festivals, he sang in an impeccable Dutch, although he did not speak the language. His perfect diction is iconic and the -very Dutch- song *Ik hou van Holland* (translating into \'I Love Holland\') was even used as the title/music score of a documentary series and a game show on Dutch television, 70 years after its first performance by Schmidt. [1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNRBoTfX024) The most thorough discography of the tenor is that of Hansfried Sieben, published in the quarterly journal *Record Collector* (Chelmsford, Essex) for June 2000. ## Films with Joseph Schmidt {#films_with_joseph_schmidt} - *Der Liebesexpreß* (*The Love Express*, 1931, Germany) - *Goethe lebt\...!* (1932) - *Gehetzte Menschen* (1932) - *Ein Lied geht um die Welt* (1933) (A Song Goes Round the World) - *My Song Goes Round the World* (1934) - *When You\'re Young, the World Belongs to You* (1934) - *A Star Fell from Heaven* (1934) - *A Star Fell from Heaven* (1936) - *Heut\' ist der schönste Tag in meinem Leben* (1936)

# Sebastian Aguilera de Heredia **Sebastian Aguilera de Heredia** (August 1561 -- 16 December 1627) was a Spanish monk, musician and composer of the Renaissance period. ## Life Aguilera was the first organist at the cathedral in Huesca from 1585 to 1603. During this time, he assisted in the construction of a new organ. In 1603, Aguilera moved to a more prestigious position as *maestro de música* at La Seo Cathedral in Saragossa. He remained there until his death in 1627. He published a collection of works in 1618, and eighteen of his keyboard works survive. Aguilera is considered the first major figure of the Aragonese School of music centered on Saragossa. ## Music and Influence {#music_and_influence} Aguilera composed both organ and vocal music. His work was written specifically for the church. While Aguilera\'s organ works do follow Spanish traditions, they also introduce new innovations. He created different types of tientos, including pieces that explored heavy dissonance, slow tempos, and unusual harmonies. He referred to this type of music as *falsas*. Aguilera\'s monothematic tientos use various contrapuntal and rhythmic techniques in order to develop a single theme. One of the most regarded techniques used in Aguilera\'s organ pieces is the *medio registro* technique. This highlights the left hand as a solo by giving it repeated, complex phrases while each half of the keyboard maintains its own registration. Aguilera also composed works based on Spanish hymn melodies, including contrapuntal and cantus firmus settings of well-known pieces. These settings used various asymmetrical and lively rhythmic patterns. Aguilera gained recognition for his collection of 36 Magnificat settings titled *Canticum Beatissimae Virginis deiparae Mariae*. The collection includes four main groups: five, six, eight, and four voices. Each group has eight settings for each liturgical tone. The final four pieces of this collection are full double-choir settings. ## Organ music {#organ_music} - Pange lingua a 3 sobre bajo por Ce-sol-faut; - Pange lingua a 3 sobre tiple; - Salve de Lleno de 1.er tono; - Salve de 1.er tono por De-la-sol-re; - Primera obra de 1.er tono; - Segunda obra del 1.er tono; - Primer registro de bajo del 1.er tono; - Segundo registro de bajo del 1.er tono; - Tercer registro de bajo del 1.er tono; - Primer tiento de falsas del 4º tono; - Segundo tiento de falsas del 4º tono; - Tiento grande del 4º tono; - Falsas del 6º tono; - Tiento del 8º tono por De-la-sol-re; - Obra de 8º tono por Ge-sol-re-ut; - Obra de 8º tono alto: Ensalada; - Dos bajos de 8º tono; - Discurso sobre los saeculorum; - \[?\] Tiento de Batalla de 8º Tono. ## Vocal music {#vocal_music} - *Canticum Beatissimae Virginis Deiparae.

# Anterior white commissure The **anterior white commissure** (**ventral white commissure**) is a bundle of nerve fibers which cross the midline of the spinal cord just anterior (in front of) to the gray commissure (Rexed lamina X). A delta fibers (Aδ fibers) and C fibers carrying pain sensation in the spinothalamic tract contribute to this commissure, as do fibers of the anterior corticospinal tract, which carry motor signals from the primary motor cortex. Two of the five sensory modalities, pain and temperature, cross sides at the anterior white commissure, reaching the contralateral side about two vertebral levels rostral to their origin. The spinothalamic tract thus decussates very soon after entering the spinal cord, ascending in the spinal cord, contralateral to the side from where it provides (pain and temperature) sensory information. Therefore, a lesion that is caudal to the sensory decussation where the remaining three-fifths modalities decussate (at the superior medulla) will result in contralateral (opposite sided) pain and temperature loss (as this has already crossed over at the anterior white commissure), whereas loss of crude touch, pressure, and proprioception will be ipsilateral (same sided) as these have not yet crossed over

# Estevan Point lighthouse **Estevan Point Lighthouse** is located on the headland of the same name in the Hesquiat Peninsula Provincial Park on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. During the Second World War, in 1942, the Estevan Point lighthouse was fired upon by the Japanese submarine `{{Jsub|I-26||2}}`{=mediawiki}, marking the first enemy attack on Canadian soil since the Fenian raids of 1866 and 1871. Currently the Canadian Coast Guard still maintains Estevan Point, with the light still active as of 2022. The light emits a signal of a double flash every 15 seconds with the focal plane located at 37.5 m above sea level. ## History The Spanish explorer Juan José Pérez Hernández, originating from Mallorca, traded with the natives of the region (the Nuu-chah-nulth) when he explored the area in 1774 and named the headland \"Punta San Esteban\". Four years later, James Cook\'s expedition arrived in the Nootka Sound and made contact with the local population. The lighthouse was established in 1909 as one in a series of buttressed lighthouses designed by engineer William P. Anderson. The lighthouse was constructed in concrete as a 30.5 m tall octagonal tower supported by buttresses. Originally, a first order Fresnel lens made by Chance Brothers of England had been used but together with the lantern it was dismantled during the 1980s and was then donated to a regional museum in 2004. ### Estevan Point lighthouse attack {#estevan_point_lighthouse_attack} During the Second World War, the Estevan Point lighthouse was attacked by the `{{Jsub|I-26}}`{=mediawiki}. On June 20, 1942, *I-26*, under the command of Yokota Minoru, surfaced and shelled the lighthouse, at the same time as the `{{Jsub|I-25}}`{=mediawiki} made a similar attack at the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon, shelling Fort Stevens. *I-26* fired 25--30 rounds of 5.5 in shells at the Estevan Point lighthouse and radio-direction-finding station, but failed to hit its target and the lighthouse station remained undamaged. Five Royal Canadian Navy patrol vessels and a Supermarine Stranraer, a flying boat of the Royal Canadian Air Force, were dispatched to search for the submarine but failed to locate *I-26* which fled north and then returned to Japan. One of the 5.5-inch shells was recovered by a naval shore patrol after the attack while additional shell fragments were found in 1973. An explosive demolition team from CFB Comox destroyed one explosive fragment while an inert fragment was presented to the Maritime Museum of British Columbia. Although the attack resulted in no damage or casualties, the subsequent decision to turn off the lights of outer stations caused difficulties for coastal shipping. A 1995 episode of the CBC Television newsmagazine program *The Fifth Estate* reported contradictions in eyewitness descriptions of the attacking vessel and speculated that the attack may have been a false flag conducted by Allied surface vessels with the intent of increasing domestic support for Prime Minister Mackenzie King and his wartime policies related to conscription. ## Climate Estevan Point has an oceanic climate (Köppen *Cfb*). The average annual temperature in Estevan Point is 9.9 C. The average annual rainfall is 3097.0 mm with November as the wettest month. The temperatures are highest on average in August, at around 14.9 C, and lowest in December / January, at around 5.9 C. The highest temperature ever recorded in Estevan Point was 30.5 C on June 28, 2021, during the Western North America heat wave; the coldest temperature ever recorded was -13.9 C on January 14, 1950

# Mike McCormick (outfielder) **Myron Winthrop** \"**Mike**\" **McCormick** (May 6, 1917 -- April 13, 1976) was an American professional baseball player. He was an outfielder for the Cincinnati Reds (1940--43 and 1946), Boston Braves (1946--48), Brooklyn Dodgers (1949), New York Giants (1950), Chicago White Sox (1950) and Washington Senators (1951) of Major League Baseball. ## Biography McCormick was born in Angels Camp, California, stood 6 ft tall, weighed 190 lb, and threw and batted right-handed. He helped the Reds win the 1940 World Series, and led the National League in sacrifice hits that season. Forty games into the 1942 season, McCormick was sidelined with a broken leg. He returned to the Reds for the 1943 season, but he was inducted into the military after only a few games. He missed the 1944 and 1945 seasons due to military service. He served in the Army Air Force and played on a military baseball team with Joe DiMaggio in Hawaii. After the Braves won the 1948 National League pennant, he was traded from the Braves to the Brooklyn Dodgers in December of that year; he and an unnamed player were sent to Brooklyn in exchange for Pete Reiser. The Dodgers won the 1949 NL pennant. The next year, he was signed by the New York Giants, played for Oakland of the Pacific Coast League, and had his contract purchased by the Chicago White Sox that June. In 10 seasons he played in 748 games and had 2,325 at bats, 302 runs, 640 hits, 100 doubles, 29 triples, 14 home runs, 215 RBI, 16 stolen bases, 188 walks, .275 batting average, .330 on-base percentage, .361 slugging percentage, 840 total bases and 72 sacrifice hits. Defensively, he recorded a .980 fielding percentage at all three outfield positions. In April 1976, McCormick was attending a game at Dodger Stadium when he suffered a heart attack. He died at a Los Angeles hospital

# 1934 Ice Hockey World Championships The **1934 Ice Hockey World Championships** were held from February 3--11, 1934, at the Palazzo del Ghiaccio in Milan, Italy. Canada won its seventh world championship, defeating the United States in the final. The World Championship bronze medal and the European Championship title went to Germany. It was the second European Championship title for the Germans. Like the previous year\'s World Championship twelve teams participated, with defending champions United States and Canada advancing directly to the second-round. The other ten teams split into three preliminary groups for the six remaining second round places. In the preliminary Group C, there was a stalemate among the three teams; all three earned two points with equal goal differentials. As a result, the organizing committee decided that all three teams in Group C should advance. With nine instead of eight teams in the second round, the format was changed from two groups of four teams to three groups of three teams. The group winners advanced directly to the semi-finals, while the fourth semifinal position was decided by an extra qualifying round for the second-place finishers. The second and third place teams in the extra qualifying round were awarded fifth and sixth positions, and the six teams not advancing to the semifinals or semifinal qualification round played a round-robin series for positions seven through twelve. ## First round {#first_round} ### Group A {#group_a} {{#invoke:Sports table\|main\|style=WDL \|update = complete \|source = [Complete

# Steve Seymour (basketball) **Steve Seymour** (born 18 May 1959) is an American basketball coach. From 1999 though 2001, he was the head coach at Drexel University. He has also held a variety of collegiate assistant coaching positions. ## Early life {#early_life} Seymour is a graduate of Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. He holds a bachelor of science degree in physical education from the school. Following his graduation from Bridgewater State, Seymour spent eight years teaching high school, and coached a girl\'s high school basketball team to two New Hampshire state titles. ## Coaching career {#coaching_career} In 1986, Seymour was hired as a part-time assistant basketball coach at Saint Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire. He became a full-time assistant in 1989. In 1991, Bill Herrion left an assistant coaching position George Washington to take-over as head coach at Drexel. Herrion added Seymour to his staff upon his arrival at Drexel, as the two had gotten to know one another on the recruiting trail. During Seymour\'s eight-season tenure on Herrion\'s staff, the Dragons won 167 games, won the America East Conference regular season title four times, the America East Conference tournament three times, made three NCAA tournament appearances (including the program\'s first tournament win as a Division I program in 1996), and made one appearance in the NIT. Following the 1998-99 season, Herrion left Drexel to take-over as head coach at East Carolina. Seymour was immediately tapped to succeed Herrion. He was fired by the university on March 7, 2001, following the completion of his second season as head coach. Under Seymour, Drexel compiled an overall record of 28-29, and never finished higher than third in the America East Conference. Reaction to Seymour\'s firing was generally negative in the Philadelphia area. He was succeeded as Drexel\'s head coach by Bruiser Flint, who had recently resigned as head coach at UMass. Seymour\'s termination coincided with Drexel\'s departure from the America East Conference, and joining of the Colonial Athletic Association. Seymour originally interviewed for a position on Jim Baron\'s staff at Rhode Island, before eventually being hired by Siena. Following an assistant coaching stint at La Salle, Seymour spent four years on Dave Leitao\'s staff at the University of Virginia. He was not retained by incoming coach Tony Bennett in 2009. ## Personal life {#personal_life} Seymour and his wife Doreen have three children

# Alexander Rose (bishop) **Alexander Rose** (1647--1720) was a Scottish scholar, minister and bishop. He was a Church of Scotland minister before becoming Professor of Divinity at the University of Glasgow and Principal of St Mary\'s College, St Andrews. He rose to become Bishop of Moray and then Bishop of Edinburgh. His failure to convince King William III and II that the Scottish bishops could be trusted led to the abolition of Episcopacy in Scotland. Rose continued as a nonjuring bishop, eventually becoming leader of the informal and embryonic Scottish Episcopal Church. ## Early life and career {#early_life_and_career} Alexander was born in either 1645 or 1646, a year that can be calculated because we know that he was 74 years old at his death in March 1720. The Rose family originally came from Kilravock near Inverness. His father had been Prior of Monymusk. He entered the University of Aberdeen for a Master of Arts, but moved to the University of Glasgow to study divinity under Dr. Gilbert Burnet, later Bishop of Salisbury. Rose was licensed to preach as a Church of Scotland minister by the Presbytery of Glasgow on 20 April 1670. He was ordained as \"second Charge\" minister of St John\'s Church in Perth in August 1672, but only after the town had unsuccessfully tried to secure the appointment of Alexander\'s uncle, Arthur Rose. He was promoted to \"first charge\" in 1678 in place of William Lindsay who had been chosen as Bishop of Dunkeld. In 1682 Alexander became Professor of Divinity at Glasgow, almost certainly with the help of his uncle, now Archbishop of Glasgow. On 22 October 1686 he got a royal presentation to be Principal of St Mary\'s College, St Andrews.

# Alexander Rose (bishop) ## Bishop of Moray and Edinburgh {#bishop_of_moray_and_edinburgh} Rose\'s career rise continued. In December of this year (1686), he was recommended by the king to be selected as the new Bishop of Moray. The royal mandate for his consecration was issued on 8 March 1687. However, before even taking possession of the diocese of Moray, he was translated to the diocese of Edinburgh, after his name had been put forward by Colin Lindsay, 3rd Earl of Balcarres. He was elected on 21 December, and despite the protests of some dissenting ministers, was appointed to the position on 31 December. In December 1688, Bishop Rose and Bishop Andrew Bruce were chosen by the Scottish bishops to travel to London, but Bishop Bruce fell ill and Rose was compelled to continue alone. The situation he found himself in was having to decide on behalf of all the Scottish bishops whether to support William of Orange or James VII and II. William was prepared to retain Episcopacy in Scotland if the bishops would acknowledge him. Probably on 30 January 1689, Bishop Rose met with King William. Bishop Rose was sympathetic to King James, and though William\'s cause had already clearly triumphed, he was not sure about committing the other Scottish bishops. When asked for his support, Bishop Rose gave a highly ambiguous reply: > Sir, I will serve you as far as law, reason, or conscience shall allow me. Rose returned to Scotland without having committed either the bishops to King William, nor King William to the bishops. Later in the year, Rose was almost certainly one of the seven Scottish bishops who voted against renouncing their oaths to King James and offering the Scottish crown to William. This was probably enough to convince King William that the Scottish bishops were too sympathetic to Jacobitism, and there were more than enough hard-line Presbyterians in Scotland who hated the existence of bishops. It was thus that, on 20 July 1689, Episcopacy in Scotland was declared abolished and all bishops were deprived of their sees within the Church of Scotland. ## The nonjuring bishop and metropolitan {#the_nonjuring_bishop_and_metropolitan} Rose continued to act as a nonjuring bishop, privately acknowledging the primacy of his uncle, now Archbishop of St Andrews. Though deprived of any formal authority, Rose gained informal influence over the embryonic Scottish Episcopal Church. After the death of Arthur Rose in 1704 and then John Paterson in 1708, Archbishop of Glasgow, Alexander Rose was regarded as the senior nonjuring bishop in Scotland. In 1705, along with Bishop Douglas of Dunblane, he performed the consecration of John Fullarton and John Sage. He consecrated five more bishops between 1709 and 1718. Routinely suspected of Jacobitism, under severe pressure, and suffering declining number of sympathising ministers, Rose quietly led as the metropolitan of Scottish Episcopalians. He also tried to obtain the help of Church of England and Queen Anne. He was involved in the Jacobite rising of 1715, as a trustee of the \"Old Pretender\", James Francis Edward Stuart. ## Death and family {#death_and_family} He died on 20 March 1720 of apoplexy, and was buried in the grounds of Restalrig church east of Edinburgh. He married Euphan Threipland, the daughter of Patrick Threipland of Fingask, the provost of Perth. Their son John Rose fought in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715, and was captured at the battle of Sheriffmuir, though he obtained clemency partly due to his father\'s influence

# Eight O'Clock Coffee **Eight O\'Clock Coffee** is an American brand of coffee products currently manufactured by the **Eight O\'Clock Coffee Company**, of North Bergen, New Jersey, a subsidiary of Tata Consumer Products; its coffee production plant is in Landover, Maryland. It has owned Eight O\'Clock Coffee since 2006. Eight O\'Clock Coffee was created by The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (later A&P) in 1859, in the latter company\'s founding year. Despite selling off the brand in 2003, A&P continued to sell Eight O\'Clock Coffee in its family of stores until the supermarkets closed in late 2015. Eight O\'Clock is also sold in other supermarkets across the country. ## History A&P was established as \"Gilman & Company\" in 1859, and began selling bags of whole bean coffee, in time informally referred to as \"Eight O\'Clock Breakfast Coffee\". In 1919 the coffee was finally given an official name, \"8 O\'Clock\", alongside the two other brands in the A&P line, premium Bokar and mid-level Red Circle. A&P had supposedly conducted a survey asking people what time of day they drank coffee most, with the highest responses being 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.. A&P then smartly removed the word \"Breakfast\" from the informal name. 8 O'Clock coffee received a Gold Medal at the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, distinguishing it from its competition. This resulted in A&P shifting its advertising emphasis to it, and the first major redesign in packaging. The 1927-1933 design changed the \'8\' to \'Eight\' and prominently displayed a reproduction of the Sesquicentennial gold medal. By 1930, Eight O\'Clock was the most popular brand of coffee in the United States, with over a quarter of the nation\'s market share in that decade. In the autumn of 1933, packaging was redesigned again to reflect the then-popular Art Deco style. These changes introduced the distinctive font used on the packaging for nearly 70 years. To boost sales and reinforce the repackaging effort, similarly-styled coffee mills were installed in stores, a great convenience for customers.) By the late 1950s, however, A&P began a decline it was never to recover from. The deaths of George L. and John A. Hartford, the last two surviving children of George H. Hartford who shepherded the chain to prominence, failed to yield a capable successor. The next two decades were marked by contraction, including closing stores and leaving some mass U.S. markets to more vigorous competition. Seeking to expand its revenues in spite of the contraction of its bricks-and-mortar stores, in 1979 the company licensed its branding division, Compass Foods, Inc., to sell Eight O\'Clock Coffee to other retailers, *including competing supermarket chains*. Interested in the cash, A&P\'s investors spun off the Eight O\'Clock Coffee brand in 2003 to Gryphon Investors, a private equity firm based in San Francisco, California, which then established the independent Eight O\'Clock Coffee Company. After introducing its own line of coffee, the company was sold by Gryphon to Tata Global Beverages in 2006. In 2009 Consumer Reports rated Eight O\'Clock Coffee\'s 100 percent Colombian brew as the \"best buy\" for ground brews, not only beating well-known mass-market brands such as Folgers and Maxwell House but high-end industry bar-setting Starbucks. On August 8, 2013, the entire Eight O\'Clock Coffee line was revamped with new packaging and new flavors.

# Eight O'Clock Coffee ## Coffee products {#coffee_products} Until 2003, Eight O\'Clock Coffee only came in original whole bean. Packaged in an all-red bag, the coffee could be ground at A&P stores by consumers using convenient grinders. ### The 2003 lineup {#the_2003_lineup} From 2003 until August 8, 2013, Eight O\'Clock Coffee line included eleven variants, including decaffeinated and flavored, all in 11 to bags, both whole bean and ground. Originally in all-color bags, the packaging was changed in 2010 to white bags with color coding. The 2003 coffee line, which was refreshed in 2010, was as follows: - Original - Decaf Original - 100% Colombian - Decaf 100% Colombian - Bokar (discontinued in 2012) - French Roast - Dark Italian Roast - 50% Decaf - Hazelnut - French Vanilla - Mocha ### The 2013 lineup {#the_2013_lineup} The lineup as of August 8, 2013, was split up into three categories: #### Beginnings - The Original -- whole Bean, ground and K-Cup - Dark Italian Espresso -- ground - Dark Italian Roast -- whole bean and K-Cup - French Roast -- whole bean and ground - The Original Decaf -- whole bean, ground and K-Cup - 50% Decaf -- whole bean and ground #### Explorations - Colombian Peaks -- whole bean, ground and K-Cup - Central Highlands -- whole bean - African Plains -- ground #### Expressions - Hazelnut -- whole bean, ground and K-Cup - French Vanilla -- whole bean and ground - Caramel Macchiato -- ground - Chocolate Mint -- ground - Dark Chocolate Cherry (Seasonal) -- ground - Cinnamon Bun (Seasonal) -- ground In 2013 flavors were packaged in identical red bags, returning to Eight O\'Clock\'s traditional pre-2003 look

# Ontario Highway 94 **King\'s Highway 94**, commonly referred to as **Highway 94**, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario that serves as a southeast bypass of North Bay. The route begins at Highway 654, near an interchange with Highway 11 south of Callander. It connects with Highway 17 after passing near Corbeil, a total distance of 12.0 km. Highway 94 was first assumed in 1937 to provide tourist access to the Dionne Quintuplets, whom lived near Corbeil. It was extended by several kilometres along the former alignment of Highway 11 when the Callander Bypass opened in 1987. Otherwise, the route has remained unchanged. ## Route description {#route_description} Highway 94 is a 12.0 km route that begins at Highway 654 south of Callander, adjacent to an interchange with Highway 11. The route travels north from there, somewhat parallel to the divided four lane Highway 11 to the east. Bypassing east of Callander, Highway 94 turns east at Lansdowne Street. It curves northeast and crosses Highway 11. Weaving east and northeast, the highway passes through an area dominated by thick forests, though residences regularly dot both sides of the highway. Straightening to an eastward orientation, the highway approaches Corbeil, but makes a sharp 90 degree curve to the north. After crossing railway tracks, the route continues north for 1.9 km before terminating at Highway 17. Highway 94 is situated entirely within Nipissing District. The Highway is longer north-south than it is east west, but it is signed as an east-west highway. Like other provincial routes in Ontario, Highway 94 was maintained by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario. In 1989, traffic surveys conducted by the ministry showed that on average, 4,750 vehicles used the highway daily along the section between Highway 654 and Main Street into Callander while 3,300 vehicles did so each day along the section between Astorville Road and Highway 17 the highest and lowest counts along the highway, respectively. ## History Highway 94 was assumed in 1937, after northern development routes came under the jurisdiction of the Department of Highways (DHO) following its merger with the Department of Northern Development. On June 16, 1937, the \"Callander--Dionne\'s\" road was assumed by the DHO. The primary purpose of the route at the time was to provide access to the home of the Dionne Quintuplets, the first set of quintuplets to survive past infancy, who caused a massive increase to tourism in the area. The only change to the route occurred when the Callander Bypass of Highway 11 opened in 1987, extending Highway 94 south from Lansdowne Street along the former alignment to a junction with Highway 654. The route has remained unchanged since then

# Enrico Toselli **Enrico Toselli, Count of Montignoso** (March 13, 1883 -- January 15, 1926), was an Italian pianist and composer. Born in Florence, he studied piano with Giovanni Sgambati and composition with Giuseppe Martucci and Reginaldo Grazzini. He embarked on a career as a concert pianist, playing in Italy, European capital cities, Alexandria and North America. His most popular composition is *Serenata \'Rimpianto\' Op.6 No.1*. His other works include two operettas, *La cattiva Francesca* (1912) and *La principessa bizzarra* (1913). Toselli\'s fame largely derives not from his musical ability but from his scandalous elopement with Archduchess Louise of Austria, the former Crown Princess of Saxony, in 1907. She had previously deserted her husband, Frederick Augustus of Saxony, and they had divorced in 1903. Her ex-husband became king of Saxony in 1904. Toselli\'s marriage ended in divorce in 1912. They had one son, Carlo Emanuele (7 May 1908 -- 1969). Toselli\'s memoirs of his marriage to royalty, *Mari d'altesse: 4 ans de mariage avec Louise de Toscane, ex-princesse de Saxe*, were published in French after his divorce. He died of consumption in 1926 at the relatively young age of 43

# Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia The **Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia** (Spanish: *Compañía Franca de Voluntarios de Cataluña*) was a military company of the Spanish Army serving in the Spanish colonial empire. ## Origins The company was raised in Barcelona in 1767 for service in New Spain, as a part of an effort to improve the defenses of Spain\'s overseas empire, which in turn was part of the larger Bourbon Reforms of King Carlos III. Initially recruited from the *2nd Regiment of Light Infantry of Catalonia*, the company was composed of four officers and one hundred enlisted men and was commanded by Captain Agustín Callis, a veteran of Spain\'s wars in Italy and Portugal. ## Service in Sonora {#service_in_sonora} The Catalan Volunteers arrived in Guaymas, Sonora in May 1768 as a part of an expedition of some 1200 Spanish soldiers and native allies assembled to quell a revolt by Pima and Seri Indians. After years of active campaigning, the Volunteers returned to Mexico City in April 1771. ## The Establishment of Alta California {#the_establishment_of_alta_california} In September 1768, Lieutenant Pedro Fages and a detachment of 25 Volunteers were ordered south to San Blas, Nayarit to form a part of the expedition of Gaspar de Portolà to establish a Spanish foothold in Alta California. After 110 days at sea, the Volunteers arrived at San Diego Bay in April 1769. By this time, over half the soldiers and most of the crew were incapacitated with scurvy. Twelve Volunteers succumbed to illness while awaiting the arrival of the overland arm of the expedition under Captain Fernando Javier Rivera y Moncada, who arrived a month later. Still short of provisions, however, the lot of the soldiers improved very little. Despite these privations, the Volunteers participated in the Portola expedition that established San Diego and Monterey, and remained as the first garrison of the Presidio of Monterey, under Fages\' command. Volunteers accompanied Fages on expeditions to explore the San Francisco Bay region in 1770 and 1772. In June 1770, command of the military forces in California passed from Portola to the short tempered and relatively inexperienced Fages. His often high handed treatment of soldiers and missionaries and his possible mishandling of the distribution of rations led to criticism from Father Junípero Serra, who successfully petitioned Viceroy Antonio María de Bucareli y Ursúa for his removal. Fages and the detachment of Volunteers left Monterey to rejoin their Company in July 1774. At least one of the Volunteers later returned to retire in California. Jose Antonio Yorba settled in what is now Orange County, California to become the patriarch of an important Californio family. The city of Yorba Linda, California is named for the Yorba family. ## Reorganization In Sonora, the Catalan Volunteers served alongside the Fusileros de Montaña (Mountain Fusiliers), another independent company from Catalonia associated with the 2nd Regiment. As a part of new regulations promulgated in 1772, the two commands were merged and reorganized into two companies of 80 men and 3 officers each: The First Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia, which included the detachment in California under Fages and remained under the command of Captain Callis, and a Second Company under Captain Antonio Pol. Both companies were based in Guadalajara. ## Garrison Duty in Central Mexico {#garrison_duty_in_central_mexico} As light infantry, the Volunteers were thought to be particularly well suited for duty in the mountainous country of central Mexico. Though based in Guadalajara, detachments of Volunteers were frequently posted to the Presidio of Mesa del Tonati in the mountains of Nayarit, the Real del Monte near Mexico City, and to serve as harbor guards at San Blas, the headquarters for Spanish naval operations in the Pacific. For the most part, this service was fairly routine, except for occasional calls to quell disturbances.

# Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia ## Return To Sonora {#return_to_sonora} Fages, his reputation now rehabilitated, was promoted to captain and assigned command of the Second Company in early 1776. At the urging of Teodoro de Croix, commandant general of the Commandancy General of the Provincias Internas, Fages and his new command were deployed to Sonora, arriving at Alamos in February 1777. The following April, the Volunteers of the Second Company were posted to the Presidio of El Pitic (modern Hermosillo) in response to renewed hostilities with the Seris, who quickly surrendered. At the urging of Lt. Col Juan Bautista de Anza, the company was posted at the Presidio of Santa Cruz de Terrenate, which had recently been moved from its previous location to one on the San Pedro River north of modern Tombstone, Arizona, to reinforce the beleaguered garrison against the Apaches, arriving in the fall of 1778. Though Fages, now a Lieutenant Colonel, was able to restore order and discipline to the presidio, the garrison proved unable to mount an effective counter-offensive. In December 1780, with the Second Company now down to half strength, Fages left Terrenate for Mexico City for new recruits. In his absence, the Presidio was ordered abandoned, and the garrison moved to its previous location at Santa Cruz, Sonora, which was believed to be more defensible and easily supplied. The company was soon once again posted at El Pitic, where they were employed in putting down another rebellion by the Seris. In September 1781, Fages led an expedition that included 40 men of the Second Company to the Yuma Crossing to quell a rebellion by the Quechan and their allies. Though they were able to liberate Spanish captives, secure the remains of the slain Father Francisco Garcés and recover sacred vessels from the destroyed missions of Mission Puerto de Purísima Concepción and Mission San Pedro y San Pablo de Bicuñer, Fages\' command was unable to subdue the tribe. Despite two subsequent expeditions by Fages and the Second Company over the next 2 years, the crossing would remain closed to Spain. During the third expedition in the Fall of 1783, Fages was appointed Governor of California, and the Volunteers returned without him to Pitic. In subsequent years, the Volunteers of the Second Company were posted around Sonora, assigned to duties at the presidios of Buenavista, Fronteras, Pitic and Tucson where they were employed fighting the Apaches and Seris, until 1785, when they were assigned to the Villa de Chihuahua. From there, they continued active campaigning against the Apaches.

# Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia ## The Pacific Northwest and California {#the_pacific_northwest_and_california} Pedro de Alberní was named Captain of the First Company when Callis died in 1782. In August 1789, after years of routine garrison duty in Guadalajara, the company was assigned to duty in the Pacific Northwest in response to the Nootka Crisis. They arrived at Nootka Sound in April 1790 where they re-established the abandoned redoubt of Fort San Miguel, becoming the first regular European military unit posted to present-day British Columbia. The Volunteer\'s mission was to secure Spain\'s claims to the Pacific Northwest against incursions by the British and, in particular, the Russians. To that end, Alberni\'s men were employed as marines in the expeditions of Jacinto Caamaño, Salvador Fidalgo, Dionisio Alcalá Galiano, Salvador Menéndez, and Manuel Quimper of the Pacific coast from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Kodiak Island. The First Company returned to Guadalajara in 1792, though some Volunteers remained on detached duty in Nootka as late as 1794. In 1796, as a response to the War of the First Coalition and rumors of American incursions, Alberni, now a Lieutenant Colonel, and his company were sent to reinforce California. Detachments of Volunteers augmented the Presidios of Monterey, San Diego, and San Francisco. Part of Alberní\'s mission in California was to establish a new civilian settlement called the Villa de Branciforte, which was established in 1797, with the intention that the community would be settled by retired Catalan Volunteers. This however did not materialize, and the project was abandoned in 1802. Alberní was appointed Governor of California in 1800 and was replaced as Captain by José Font. Font and his scattered command were active in guarding Spain\'s claim\'s in California against incursions by foreign vessels, particularly American ones. Despite an increase in such activity, the First Company (except for a detachment that remained in San Diego for a few more years) was withdrawn to Guadalajara in 1803 and were not replaced. ## Dissolution of the Companies {#dissolution_of_the_companies} Lt. Col. Alberni died in Monterey in 1802. He was the last of the original group of officers who had sailed from Barcelona in 1767. By this time, the unit was no longer Catalan in character with men and even officers largely from other parts of Spain and criollos from Mexico. In 1810, the Volunteers were mobilized against the revolt of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. The First Company, still posted at Guadalajara, was reorganized and absorbed into other units. As the Mexican War of Independence escalated, the Second Company, posted at El Perote near Mexico City under Captain Juan Antonio de Viruega since 1800, was deployed to Morelos to join an army under General Calleja in a massive campaign against the insurgency. During the Siege of Cuautla in 1812, the Volunteers were assigned to man an ambuscade at the Campo de Sacatepec. Though Calleja later praised their valiant stand, the Second Company was unable to prevent the escape of scrappy rebels under José María Morelos and suffered heavy casualties. The Volunteers managed to survive as a Company, participating in the battles of Tuxpango, Tlacótepe, and Ajuchitlán, through 1815, by which time they were no longer a discrete unit, having been absorbed into larger battalions. ## Uniform Its uniform consisted of blue coat with yellow collar and cuffs, yellow waistcoat, blue breeches and black tricorne hat with the red cockade of the House of Bourbon. There were two drummers on the strength of the company. After 1760, Spanish army drummers wore the livery of the King of Spain -- a blue coat with scarlet collar and cuffs, along with a scarlet waistcoat. Both coat and waistcoat were trimmed with scarlet lace that was embroidered with a white chain pattern. This same pattern of lace had decorated French uniforms before the French Revolution began in 1789. The Bourbon kings of Spain were a branch of the French royal family, and adopted a similar livery.

# Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia ## Images in Modern Culture {#images_in_modern_culture} The crest of the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio of Monterey includes an image of a feathered leather helmet that is meant to symbolize the Catalan Volunteers and to commemorate their role in the founding of the post. Though such helmets were briefly a uniform item for the Spanish infantry at the turn of the 19th century, it is unlikely that they were ever worn by the Catalan Volunteers in North America. The Catalan Volunteers are portrayed in the 1955 American film *Seven Cities of Gold*, which presents a fanciful and historically inaccurate account of the founding of Spanish California. Lieutenant Fages is played by Mexican actor Victor Junco. In the credits, Fages\' name is misspelled as \"Faces.\" An infantry soldier wearing a Catalan Volunteer uniform briefly appears in the opening scene of the 1968 film *Guns of San Sebastian* which, like *Seven Cities of Gold,* stars Anthony Quinn. However, the movie is supposed to take place in 1746, twenty years before the Volunteers\' arrival in New Spain

Introduced in September 1919, it was bracketed by the existing brands of Bokar above and 8 O\'Clock Coffee below it. In 1979, A&P licensed its division Compass Foods Inc. to sell Red Circle Coffee to other retailers, including competing supermarket chains. Compass Foods was subsequently spun-out from A&P and sold to a Private Equity buyer (Gryphon) in the 2000s then relatively quickly to its present owner, the Tata Group. In 2022, it relaunched as Stockyards Coffee

# Bill Rank **William C. Rank** (June 8, 1904 -- May 20, 1979) was an American jazz trombonist. Rank was born in Lafayette, Indiana, United States, and initially worked in Indiana and Florida. In 1922, Rank played trombone in Tade\'s Singing Orchestra, which was led by violinist, Tade Dolen. Between 1923 and 1927 he played with Jean Goldkette\'s band in Detroit and often recorded with Bix Beiderbecke. After playing with Adrian Rollini in 1927 and a period as a freelance, Rank joined Paul Whiteman\'s band, and stayed until 1938. He was then a studio musician in Hollywood into the early 1940s, when he moved to Cincinnati. There, he led a tenet for the rest of the 1940s. Rank then changed to playing part-time while also working in insurance. His one album as a leader, a tribute to Beiderbecke, was recorded in 1973. Rank continued playing until a short time before his death, on May 20, 1979, in Cincinnati

# Count Scary **Count Scary** was a character (portrayed by Detroit, Michigan-area radio disc jockey Tom Ryan) who hosted monthly specials presenting B movie horror films with comedy skits on Detroit television station WDIV from 1982 to the early 1990s. Count Scary was a comically stereotypical vampire. His favorite catch phrase (invariably accompanied by a \"spooky\" sounding musical sting) was \"Oooh, that\'s *scaary*!\" Eventually, Count Scary was dropped by WDIV and moved on to WKBD\'s \"ShocKtober\" Halloween programming for several years. After \"ShocKtober\" was no longer able to be aired by WKBD due to the station\'s commitment to the then-new Fox network, the Count had a special or two on WXYZ, but these were more subdued affairs with fewer segments featuring the character than the older shows. Count Scary\'s last TV appearance was a team up with the Ghoul for a 1996 Halloween special for WKBD, but Ryan continued to use the character on his WOMC radio show each Halloween, up until his dismissal by the station\'s new management in 2007.

# Massey Drive **Massey Drive** (2021 pop.: 1,606) is a town located close to the west coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Its name is derived from the original road through the town, named Massey Drive, which in turn is named after Vincent Massey, former Governor General of Canada (1952--59). It is an enclave surrounded by the municipality of Corner Brook, from which it seceded in 1971. It is primarily a residential area. ## Demographics In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Massey Drive had a population of `{{val|1606|fmt=commas}}`{=mediawiki} living in `{{val|626|fmt=commas}}`{=mediawiki} of its `{{val|670|fmt=commas}}`{=mediawiki} total private dwellings, a change of `{{percentage|{{#expr:1606-1632}}`{=mediawiki}\|1632\|1}} from its 2016 population of `{{val|1632|fmt=commas}}`{=mediawiki}.

# Enercare Centre **Enercare Centre**, formerly known as the **Direct Energy Centre** and originally the **National Trade Centre**, is an exhibition complex located at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is used by the Canadian National Exhibition and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, as well as by various trade shows. In 2015, it hosted several sport competitions and the broadcasting centre for the 2015 Pan American Games. The naming rights for the complex are currently owned by energy services company Enercare Inc., a subsidiary of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners. ## History Located just to the west of the Princes\' Gates at the eastern end of Exhibition Place, it was previously the site of a streetcar loop and open space. The new building took over the frontage along Prince\'s Boulevard and connected to the existing Coliseum and Industry Buildings (also known as the Agricultural Annex), creating a large inter-connected exhibition complex. The existing southern entrance of the Coliseum was demolished and integrated into the new complex. The streetcar loop was moved to the north of the complex. The open space was previously the site of the Engineering and Electrical Building, opened in 1928 and torn down in 1972. In 2005, the CNE Board of Directors entered into a ten-year agreement with Direct Energy Inc. to sponsor the centre\'s name, effective in March 2006. Fees go to a reserve fund which is used to keep the centre in a state of good repair. In 2014, part of Direct Energy was sold to Enercare Inc., including the name-in-title of the centre. The agreement was extended in 2016 for another ten years to end in 2026, at a value of `{{CAD|7.5}}`{=mediawiki} million. At the 2015 Pan American Games, the venue hosted the sports of volleyball in Hall A, handball and roller sports figure skating in Hall B, racquetball and squash in Hall C and gymnastics in the adjoining Ricoh Coliseum. Pan American Games organizers referred to the centre as the \"Exhibition Centre\". The building was also the location of the Main Press and Broadcasting Centre for the Games (in Hall D). In 2015, the Exhibition Place Board of Governors and the City of Toronto commissioned a study of a possible expansion of the facility. The proposed expansion would add an additional hall connected to the west end of the main building.

# Enercare Centre ## Design Designed by architectural teams Zeidler Partnership Architects and Dunlop-Farrow Architects, the building officially opened on April 3, 1997, with its first show being the National Home Show. It has seven exhibit halls with 1000000 ft2 of exhibition space. Four of the halls are separated by removable walls to create configurable space. Additionally, the Coliseum and Horse Palace can be integrated into an exhibition. The project cost `{{CAD|180 million|link=yes}}`{=mediawiki} (`{{CAD|{{formatprice|{{Inflation|CA|180000000|1997}}}}}}`{=mediawiki} in `{{Inflation-year|CA}}`{=mediawiki} dollars)`{{inflation-fn|CA}}`{=mediawiki}. The cost was shared equally by the Toronto, Ontario and Canadian governments. The entire southern frontage is a long hall, linking the exhibit spaces with various offices. Most of the southern wall of the hall is glass, providing light to the entrances to the exhibit halls which have no windows. At the eastern end of the hall is a small open exhibition space, sometimes used as an art gallery, used by the CNE for cat and dog shows. At the eastern end of the hall is a \"living wall.\" Under the main exhibit space is an underground parking garage, providing 1,300 spaces, which is connected to the Beanfield Centre in the Automotive Building to the south by a tunnel. Along the top of the hall at towers above entrances are four rotating spotlights which are illuminated when shows are being held at the centre. The external southern frontage differs along its length. The eastern section mimics the building style of the Automotive Building, using masonry and columns, while the western section is steel and glass, described as \"flamboyant futurism\". To the north of the new addition is the \"Heritage Court\" hall, oriented west--east, which links the Coliseum, the Annex and the new addition. It is 50000 ft2 in size. The western entrance to the complex is at the western end of the hall and serves as the main entrance to the Coliseum. The entrance is mostly glass and has a canopy extending to the west, where a canopy extends to the north, between the Horse Palace and the Coliseum, providing cover to those persons arriving from the TTC loop to the north. The original southern exteriors of the Coliseum and Industry Building, dating back to the 1920s, are preserved inside the hall. The Heritage Court is situated on the site of the TTC rail lines that separated the Coliseum and Industry buildings from the Engineering and Electrical Building. Four of the original \"Statues of Industry\" which adorned the facade of the Electrical and Engineering Building are mounted in the Heritage Court. The Annex building is used to store cattle and small livestock during the Winter Fair and the CNE. Judging is done in small rings within the Annex, in the Coliseum and in a temporary judging area in the new addition. The area is also used by trade shows for demonstration space. ### Usage As well as being used as part of the Canadian National Exhibition, it hosts the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair annually.

# 1st Air Force Wing Reserve, PAF The **1st Air Force Wing Reserve, Philippine Air Force** (**1st AFWR PAF**), formerly called the 1st Ready Reserve Air Wing (1RRAW), is a combat-support unit under the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) of the Philippine Air Force (PAF). It is based in Colonel Jesus A. Villamor Air Base in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. Its headquarters offices are located at the AFRC building inside the airbase. The wing covers all Philippine Air Force reserve units in the National Capital Region (NCR). 1st AFWR is divided into the 11th, 12th, and 13th Air Force Groups (Reserve) (AFGR). Currently, the 1st AFWR is under the command of Brigadier General Raymundo T. Francisco, who took over the position in March 2015. The motto of the 1st AFWR PAF is *Laang Kawal* (in Tagalog), which means \'Old Soldier\'. Personnel of the 1st AFWR are military reservists, consisting of commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted members; all of whom have their own primary civilian occupation or profession, and serve part-time in the air force. A reserve wing in the Philippine Air Force is equivalent in size to a brigade in the army. A reserve air group is equivalent to a battalion. Subordinate units in the reserve air group include squadrons (companies) and flights (platoons). In Luzon, the other air force reserve wings are the 2nd AFWR based at Clark Air Base that covers the area from Central Luzon up to all of northern Luzon, and the 3rd AFWR at Fernando Air Base in Batangas that covers all of southern Luzon from Cavite through the Bicol Region

# Azenhas do Mar **Azenhas do Mar** (`{{IPA|pt|ɐˈzeɲɐʒ ðu ˈmaɾ}}`{=mediawiki}) is a seaside town (residential neighborhood) in the municipality of Sintra, Portugal. It is part of Colares civil parish. Azenhas do Mar means *Watermills of the Sea* and the name derives from a once-powerful stream that moved the watermills as it made its way to the sea. It is located just 30 km away from Lisbon, near Cabo da Roca, Palácio da Pena (Pena Palace), and other attractions. The place is a Mediterranean-looking village with white houses tumbling down to the Atlantic. In the mid-20th century, wealthy families from Lisbon and Sintra decided that the location was perfect for summer homes, which can be seen outside the main cluster of houses that originally were a fishing community\'s homes. There are several popular beaches located near the Azenhas do Mar, namely Praia da Aguda, Praia do Magoito (mostly frequented by locals and surfers), and Praia das Maçãs. Near Praia das Maçãs there is a Prehistoric Monument, also known as the Tholos of Outeiro das Mós, consists of an artificial Neolithic cave and a Chalcolithic domed or beehive tomb. <File:Pôr> do Sol na praia das Azenhas.jpg\|Beach sunset <File:Azenhas> do Mar by drone.jpg\|Azenhas do Mar by drone <File:Praia> das Maçãs

# Civilian Service Medal 1939–1945 The **Civilian Service Medal 1939--1945** is awarded to civilians in Australia during World War II who served in arduous circumstances in support of the war effort as part of organisations with military-like arrangements and conditions of service. The medal was introduced in 1994, following a recommendation of the Committee of Inquiry into Defence and Defence Related Awards. The Committee intended to extend recognition only to those whose war service in Australia was more arduous than the norm, and was performed under military-like conditions. Hence, Women\'s Land Army members, whose work was very physical, required them to live in rural areas away from their homes for lengthy periods, and was subject to military-like discipline, are generally eligible. On the other hand, members of the industrial workforce involved in munitions production are not eligible, as they overwhelmingly lived at home and were subject to standard civilian working conditions. The medal is therefore recognition of those not in the armed services, but who experienced wartime working conditions similar to the armed services. Recipients must have served for at least 180 days in any one or a combination of the 38 eligible groups between 3 September 1939 and 2 September 1945. Recipients of the Civilian Service Medal 1939--1945 do not earn an entitlement to use post-nominal letters. As at 30 June 2006, 6,711 awards of the Civilian Service Medal 1939--1945 had been made. ## Description - The Civilian Service Medal 1939--1945 is bronze and portrays the Southern Cross surrounded by golden wattle, Australia\'s floral emblem. The Southern Cross represents Australia and the golden wattle represents the civilian population joining in defence of the country. - The medal ribbon has three vertical bands. The central band is ochre to represent the soil of Australia. The two outer bands are green for the land and food production. The two white stripes on the ribbon represent communication and construction

Pahura\'s name means in Egyptian, *\' the Syrian \'*, and he was commissioner to the Egyptian pharaoh. Pahura is referenced in 9-letters of the Amarna letters corpus. Two damaged partial letters are only topically identified by Pahura\'s name, with no other references: letters EA 207 and 208, (EA for \'el Amarna\'). ## An example letter (with commissioner *Pihura*) {#an_example_letter_with_commissioner_pihura} The largest sub-corpus of Amarna letters is from the Rib-Haddi corpus: namely Rib-Hadda of Gubla-(Byblos).

# Joseph Byrne (Holby City) **Joseph Byrne** is a fictional character from the BBC medical drama *Holby City*, portrayed by Luke Roberts. Joseph first appeared in the series eight episode \"Mother Love\", broadcast on 3 January 2006. Roberts had made an unrelated guest appearance in the previous series of the show, playing the relative of a deceased patient, and was asked to return in a more permanent role by the series producers. Joseph\'s role in the show is that of troubled surgeon -- the resultant angst of his brother\'s attempted suicide and his own anally retentive personality lead to the revelation the character suffers from Obsessive--compulsive disorder (OCD). His major storylines included an accidental drugs overdose, and a relationship with fellow surgical registrar Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel), who cheated on him with his own father. In 2019, Roberts agreed to reprise the role as part of the show\'s twentieth anniversary celebrations. He returned again for the show\'s final episode in 2022. Roberts\' performance resulted in a longlist nomination for the Most Popular Newcomer award at the 2006 National Television Awards. ## Development ### Creation and casting {#creation_and_casting} Prior to joining the cast of *Holby City* as Joseph, Luke Roberts made a guest appearance in the series seven episode \"No Pain, No Gain\" as Daniel Fryer, the son of a deceased patient. Roberts was approached about returning in a more permanent role by BBC casting director Julie Harkin, who was also responsible for casting fellow newcomers Rakie Ayola as Kyla Tyson and Tom Chambers as Sam Strachan. Although his guest appearance constituted a single scene, Roberts believes it was enough to secure his call-back for the part of Joseph. He recalls that it \"got the attention of the producers\", and that actress Amanda Mealing, who portrayed Connie Beauchamp, \"put a good word in for \[him\]\". He felt lucky to join alongside Chambers and Rosie Marcel as Jac Naylor, due to the \"feeling of solidarity\" which developed between them. As preparation for the role, Roberts observed open heart surgery at University College Hospital, London, and researched OCD. He initially attempted to look up the medical terminology in his scripts, but later abandoned this in favour of accepting help from the series medical advisers. Having become a regular *Holby City* viewer from the time of his appearance as Daniel, the actor had a contextual basis for storylines upon his return as Joseph, who he deemed a \"very complex\" character. ### Characterisation Roberts described Joseph as an \"awkward and very bookish\" character, one who struggled to relate to his patients, in contrast to the \"happy-go-lucky Sam\", which resulted in comedy as \"Sam is the antithesis of Joe.\" He also deemed his character \"incredibly honest and morally upright\", \"a total oddball with all sorts of hang-ups\", and as being \"very stuck in his ways.\" During his tenure, these aspects of his characterisation have each been explored. It was revealed in Joseph\'s first appearance that both his father and grandfather had been pioneering cardiothoracic Consultants, and that it had always been expected of him to follow the same path. His residual guilt over his brother\'s attempted suicide was developed throughout his first few months at Holby City Hospital. Roberts commented on the event that: \"It underpins much of his behaviour. He is a man burdened by guilt and loss. I think I can be so bold as to say he transfers many of his feelings about his brother onto patients and staff alike, without ever betraying the source of his pain.\" Joseph\'s resultant fastidiousness developed into OCD, something he attempted to control and hide by use of relaxant medication. ### Relationships Upon joining *Holby City*, Roberts was asked who he felt his character\'s ideal woman would be. He replied: \"Joseph is a man who suppresses and represses his emotions -- especially regarding women. I think he harbours very strong feelings of admiration for Connie but is frankly surprised and secretly thrilled when any woman shows him affection. Although so far this is rare!\" Joseph embarked on a relationship with fellow Registrar Jac, who hoped to impress Joseph\'s father and secure herself a promotion to Consultant. When this was not forthcoming, Jac left Joseph for Lord Byrne. Throughout series eight, Joseph cultivated a friendship with Elliot\'s daughter Martha, who had strong romantic feelings for him. Ultimately however, Jac won Joseph\'s affections and Martha left the show to return to University. From October 2007 onward, Joseph was romantically linked with Ward Sister Faye Morton (Patsy Kensit). Kensit confirmed that Faye \"has a soft spot for (him)\". Faye and Joseph became engaged in series ten, much to Jac\'s displeasure. Roberts has relayed Marcel\'s insight that, \"Jac\'s left with very little. She hasn\'t got the consultancy post. Joseph\'s father is long gone and I think she may be nostalgic for all of that. She\'s hankering after Joseph again. She wants him for herself.\" He added, on Joseph\'s reaction to Jac\'s meddling in his relationship with Faye; \"He\'s a good guy but Jac brings out the evil in him. He does have a darker side. He will fight injustice with injustice.\" In the episode \"Locked Away\", Joseph and Jac are locked in theatre together -- after being affected by an unknown poison -- where they both reveal their true feelings for each other. Joseph admits that he still loves Jac, but would not take her back as she has hurt him too many times. ### Returns In 2019, Roberts and Kensit agreed to reprise their roles as Joseph and Faye as part of the show\'s twentieth anniversary celebrations. The production team created a special episode focused on the characters of Joseph, Faye and Jac. Roberts was happy to return to the series and stated \"it\'s been an absolute joy to slip back into the surgical scrubs.\" He was also happy to reconnect with many cast members who had remained on the show since he left. *Holby City\'s* executive producer Simon Harper branded Joseph and Faye as \"two huge, iconic characters\" and teased their return as a \"nostalgic and exciting treat for long-term viewers.\" Harper described the \"unique episode\" as centric to the \"classic Darwin trio with all their past tensions and rivalries bubbling to the surface.\" He added that Faye and Jac\'s infamous feud would be reignited because of Joseph. Jac believed Joseph was the \"love of her life\" and she takes his return along Faye as a personal insult. Harper concluded that with \"acerbic one-liners flying thicker than a blizzard, it\'s quintessential Holby City.\" *Holby City* was cancelled in June 2021 after 23 years on air. Producers invited multiple former cast members to reprise their roles during the show\'s final series. On 16 March 2022, it was announced that Roberts had reprised his role as Joseph for the show\'s final episode, which first airs on 29 March 2022. Joseph in this final episode is seen in an ambulance with one of his patients, on their way to receive a lung transplant, with the lung being donated by the brain dead Jac Naylor, who died after a stroke in Holby\'s final episode.

# Joseph Byrne (Holby City) ## Storylines Joseph arrives at Holby City Hospital in episode \"Mother Love\", when he and fellow cardiothoracic surgeon Sam Strachan vie for a registrar position. Although Consultant Connie Beauchamp initially intends to hire Sam, she is persuaded by Joseph\'s father, Lord Byrne (Ronald Pickup), to create a second position for Joseph. He joins Connie\'s firm, but soon switches to work under the ward\'s second Consultant, Elliot Hope (Paul Bradley). The two become close, as Joseph becomes involved in Elliot\'s troubled family life. In turn, Joseph begins to confide in Elliot, and reveals that his brother Harry is in a coma as a result of a suicide attempt. Joseph discloses his guilt about the incident, and explains that he knew his brother was worried about exams, but ignored a telephone call from him on the evening he took an insulin overdose. As a result, he can no longer bear to hear a phone left ringing, and has developed OCD. To cover up the symptoms of his disorder, Joseph resorts to stealing pharmacy drug Fentanyl and self-administering it before operations. In the episode \"Before A Fall\" he overdoses on the drug, but is saved by his colleague Jac Naylor. Shortly thereafter, they become a couple, although Joseph is unaware that Jac is only interested in him because of his father\'s influence. Jac manipulates Joseph into having his father add her to a surgical team flying out to Dubai to perform pioneering surgery. When things go awry there, she convinces Joseph to lie about their qualifications so that they can perform the operation themselves, which endangers both their careers, and results in their lives being threatened by the patient\'s influential father. In the episode \"Paranoid Android\" Jac begins cheating on Joseph with his own father, for a period of several months, until Lord Byrne calls an end to the deception and confesses their infidelity to his son. Joseph quickly comes to loathe Jac, not only for cheating on him, but for breaking up his parents\' marriage. Before Lord Byrne is able to secure the promotion Jac wanted from him, he dies from complications arising from a perforated stomach ulcer. When Jac attends his funeral in the episode \"Bad Reputation\", a furious Joseph slaps her and leaves her badly bruised. Jac continues to torment Joseph for several weeks, and flaunts the fact she inherited a ring in Lord Byrne\'s will that had once been promised to Joseph by his grandmother. His friend and colleague Faye Morton takes it upon herself to steal the ring, and returns it to Joseph to do with as he sees fit, in the hopes that this will allow him to move on. Early in series ten, Joseph\'s brother\'s condition deteriorates and he is admitted to Holby City Hospital in need of an operation. Faye supports Joseph, and the two kiss. Joseph\'s hopes are raised when his brother opens his eyes, and he considers expensive neurology treatment in America to try and rouse Harry from his coma. Shortly thereafter, however, Harry\'s condition worsens again, and Joseph and his mother allow Harry to die. Following his brother\'s death, Joseph returns to work to find Jac on trial for Sam\'s old position. This reignites their feud, and Joseph is unable to block Jac from gaining the position. His relationship with Faye develops slowly, however Joseph\'s suspicions are raised when she lies to him about her whereabouts on several occasions, leading to the eventual discovery that the police suspect her of the murder of her second husband, Donald. An exhumation reveals that Donald did not die of cancer, as Faye insisted, but of arsenic poisoning. Joseph remains suspicious, but supports Faye as their relationship continues to develop. When Faye has a pregnancy scare, he proposes to her, and insists that he meant it even after the discovery she is not actually pregnant. Joseph is devastated when Faye appears to have stolen £5,000 from him and left the country, but discovers she is in fact in trouble in South Africa. After flying out with colleague Linden Cullen (Duncan Pow), Faye reveals she has a ten-year-old son, Archie, who lives in a care home because of a genetic disease. Joseph saves Archie\'s life in a risky operation, and he and Faye return from South Africa engaged once more, much to Jac\'s chagrin. Despite subsequent setbacks in their relationship, such as Jac briefly deceiving Joseph into believing that she is pregnant with his child, Faye and Joseph marry. On the day of the ceremony, Linden confesses to Faye that he is in love with her, and they kiss. She instantly regrets it, however, and tells him that she loves Joseph. When Archie\'s nurse Lauren later accidentally administers him the wrong drug, he dies. Faye and Joseph grow apart in the aftermath and she develops romantic feelings for Linden. She and Joseph separate, but after she begins a relationship with Linden, she discovers that she is pregnant with Joseph\'s baby. Increasingly concerned that Faye may be a pathological liar, Linden terminates their relationship. Faye is later attacked by a heroin-addicted patient, and when Linden attempts to defend her, he is hit in the head with a glass bottle and dies. Faye suffers a breakdown in the aftermath, and is admitted to a psychiatric unit. She self-harms, and refuses to leave the unit when she goes into labour, until Jac assures her that Joseph does not intend to take their child away from her. Faye delivers a boy by Caesarean. She initially fails to bond with him, but when Joseph puts their divorce proceedings on hold, she makes an effort and names him Harry, after Joseph\'s deceased brother. Despite Joseph\'s opposition, she insists on returning to the psychiatric unit. Jac\'s support during this time results in a renewal of their relationship, and when Faye secretly makes plans to leave the country with Harry, Jac helps convince her to leave the baby with Joseph.

In the contest between Canada and the Soviet Union, a bench-clearing brawl erupted in the second period. As the fighting got worse, the decision was made to cut the lights. The game was ultimately suspended and both teams were disqualified (the Soviets had already been eliminated from medal contention but Canada had already clinched a medal and had a chance at gold). The game was televised live in Canada on the CBC and it became a major news event in that country

# Notice and notice A \"**notice and notice**\" system is used by some internet service providers (ISPs) in relation to the uploading and downloading activities of a user of a peer-to-peer file sharing network, otherwise known as \"P2P\". It may occur when an ISP receives notification from a rights holder to a copyrighted work that one of its subscribers is allegedly hosting or sharing infringing material. The ISP may then be required to forward the notice to the subscriber, and to monitor that subscriber\'s activities for a period of time. The ISP is not required to reveal the subscriber\'s personal information, nor does the ISP take any further steps to ensure that the allegedly infringing material is removed. It is used primarily in Canada, where copyright legislation permits the download of copyrighted material, but makes it illegal to *upload* the same material. This was legislated with bill C-60 in 2005. In contrast with the Notice and Takedown system in American law, Notice and Notice attempts to protect both parties\' interests. This helps to ensure that non-infringing material is not removed under the guise of copyright protection

According to the Post, the qualifications of the distinction of [\"America's Most Challenging High Schools ranks schools through an index formula that's a simple ratio: the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate of Education tests given at a school each year, divided by the number of seniors who graduated that year.\"](https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/local/high-school-challenge-2017/) The Deseret News reported from Todd Winters, Dean of Admissions at the Waterford School, [\"the staff and administration are delighted by the recognition. But he added that the rankings, like any evaluation of school performance, are based on a narrow set of criteria and do not necessarily tell a full story.\"](https://web.archive.org/web/20140410214901/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865600615/Waterford-School-named-Utahs-Most-Challenging-by-Washington-Post.html) The Deseret News additionally quoted Winters himself, saying, [\"\'Our mission as a rigorous college preparatory school would draw students that are college bound and have high aspirations for doing college-level work while they're in high school. I think in the end, ratings should be looked at very carefully as just that, it's one index that pulls together one or two sources of data and conclusions are made.\'\"](https://web.archive.org/web/20140410214901/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865600615/Waterford-School-named-Utahs-Most-Challenging-by-Washington-Post.html) The Waterford School is fully accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC).
