During the Reform War, Tzompantepec was allied with the Liberals. The railroad connecting Mexico City with Veracruz reached the municipality in 1873. A station was built in Tzompantepec, which allowed the area to export its grain production to both Mexico City and the Gulf coast. This mostly benefitted large haciendas such as Xaltelulco and Jonecuila. This put pressure on lands still in indigenous hands and for this reason |

Hemming (monk) Hemming (occasionally Heming) was a monk, author and compiler in medieval England from around the time of the Norman conquest of England. He was a senior brother at Worcester Cathedral Priory, and his significance derives from the monastic cartulary (and works therein) attributed to him. Hemming's name is Scandinavian, which may mean either he or his ancestors were Scandinavians settled in England. His birth and death dates are unknown, but he was actively writing soon after the Conquest. Hemming became a sub-prior in the Worcester cathedral priory.

The Municipality has 32 agricultural fields that are highly developed technically, on which table and juice grapes, peaches, walnuts, and various vegetables and gourds (squash and pumpkins) grow. Most crops are exported to the United States of America. The principal problem in the public (ejido) sector is that it does not have adequate infrastructure. Also, it does not have access to banking credit. Ranching is an activity that has become more and more high-tech with good genetic material. The number of cattle has grown to 34,886 |

This has considerably increased financial production, and increased ranching activity. Industrial activity in the Municipality is almost nonexistent. There are only packers of table grapes and squash. A high priority is the creation of a maquiladora (twin plant) which could generate employment mainly for the women of the Municipality.

The yellow bands of spots on the upperside of the wings are often more orange (except in the western part of its range). This butterfly primarily breeds on Scotch lovage (""Ligusticum scoticum"") and is often found very near the ocean where its larval stage food sources grow.

The short-tailed swallowtail is on the wing from mid-June to July. Males will seek females by awaiting them on hilltops. Females lay their eggs singly on host plant leaves. The eggs are cream and later obtain a reddish-brown ring. The pale green to creamish-green larva has black bands between segments with yellow spots on the black bands (these spots are orange in Cape Breton Island).

Chuck Versus the Ring ""Chuck Versus the Ring"" is the second season finale of ""Chuck"", which aired on April 27, 2009. The day of Ellie and Devon's wedding arrives, but Chuck finds himself forced to protect both his sister and the event from a vengeful Ted Roark. The title of the episode is a double entendre, referencing both the wedding rings, and the Ring, introduced in this episode, who are the main antagonists of season 3. The episode begins as Chuck and Casey quit the Buy More. At Castle, Beckman offers Chuck a position as an analyst on the ongoing |
7645567 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
Intersect project, which Chuck declines. Beckman informs Casey that he can rejoin his Special Forces unit, but asks Sarah to stay behind a moment. Upstairs, Chuck receives an extremely large sum of money from the government in exchange for the work he did for them. Casey gives Chuck his personal number if he ever needs anything, and for the first time tells Chuck he's done a good job after the two share an awkward hug. Back down in Castle, Beckman reassigns Sarah to the Intersect project alongside Bryce Larkin, who is now at Castle. They are due to head to |
7645568 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
Zurich the next morning. At the church on the day of the wedding, Chuck tells Ellie he quit the Buy More. Ellie is proud of him and tells him to follow his dreams. He tracks down Sarah, who is going over her part in the wedding with Honey Woodcomb and asks her to go away with him on a vacation. However, Sarah breaks the news that she's leaving the next day with Bryce. Chuck leaves and takes a bottle of wine with him from the dining hall where the reception will be held, but before he can start drinking he |
7645569 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
discovers two dead caterers stashed under a table. Roark arrives and demands the Intersect, or else he will kill Ellie. Chuck goes to warn Sarah, but Morgan intercepts him first. Chuck tells Morgan to stall, and to specifically deliver a message to Sarah that he forgot the rings, as she saw them earlier. Morgan does as he asks, immediately alerting Sarah that something is wrong. She tells Morgan to continue his attempt to stall the wedding, then finds Roark and a Fulcrum team assembling. Chuck heads back to Castle to recover the Intersect cube but Bryce warns him it's already |

been moved and reveals he has known about Orion, Chuck's father, for some time now. When Chuck tells him Ellie's life is in danger, Bryce decides to offer himself up as bait. Chuck also leaves Casey a message at his personal number. Morgan delays the wedding by having Jeff and Lester perform before the ceremony (which Devon allows after Morgan tells him the instructions came from Chuck). Chuck arrives as Sarah is searching for a weapon, and Bryce offers himself up as the ""Human Intersect."" Roark still intends on killing the wedding party and a gunfight breaks out, with Sarah |

using knives from one of the gifts as a weapon. They are pinned down and out of ammunition and they are about to be killed by Roark when Casey's special forces team parachutes through the glass ceiling into the dining hall to save Chuck, Sarah and Bryce. Before anyone notices the commotion, Jeffster!'s rendition of ""Mr. Roboto"" ends with a fireworks display that sets off the sprinkler systems, destroying the ceremony but sparing Chuck from devising an explanation for Ellie. As Roark tries to escape, Stephen punches him, then Casey and his team take Roark back to Castle and set |
7645572 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
up a temporary base in the facility. Chuck is upset that his spy life has again damaged his private life. He realizes, however, that he can use his government pay to set things right, and with Sarah and Casey's help, quickly plans the beach-side wedding that Ellie had really wanted the entire time. He confesses to Ellie that having Morgan stall was his idea and not to blame Morgan, and convinces her to trust him. The second wedding goes off without a hitch. During the ceremony, as Bryce watches from the beach, he realizes that Sarah does not intend to |
7645573 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
go with him, which she confirms. At Castle, Miles, one of Casey's men, murders both Roark and Casey's team but spares Casey because Casey had previously saved his life. Casey assumes he's Fulcrum, but before knocking him out, the man says he is not Fulcrum. At the reception, Bryce approaches Stephen, who warns him to leave his son alone and asks him about changes he made to the new Intersect. Bryce tells him he does not want to know. He leaves with a man posing as a government agent. However, Stephen quickly flashes on the man, who was presumed dead |
7645574 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
in the intelligence in Stephen's head. While Chuck and Sarah dance, Sarah tells him that he is a real hero and begins to confess her true feelings for him but is interrupted by Stephen as he warns them about the man who took Bryce. Sarah figures that if the spies knew about Bryce, they must also know about Casey, so she rushes to try to save both Bryce and Casey. Chuck begins to rush after her when his father tries to stop him on the grounds that Chuck is no longer a spy. Chuck protests and says that he has |
7645575 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
to go because he loves Sarah, so Stephen agrees and gives him his wrist computer to help Chuck find Sarah and the others. At Castle, Chuck intercepts Sarah and Casey, and demands that, although he is no longer a spy, he's uniquely needed. Sarah and Casey concede and the three go to help Bryce. At the building where the Intersect is stored, Bryce discovers the ambush and escapes into the vault. The team arrives shortly after and engages in a firefight. Chuck uses his father's computer to gain access to the Intersect, where he finds Bryce with a fatal gunshot |
7645576 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
wound. Bryce warns him the Intersect is too powerful and must be destroyed. Chuck tries to tell Bryce that the Intersect is needed to fight Fulcrum, but Bryce tells Chuck that Fulcrum does not matter, that they are only one part of ""the Ring"". He asks Chuck to take care of Sarah before dying. Chuck turns to the Intersect, torn between destroying it or downloading. After flashing back on several previous moments, illustrating why he was sent the Intersect in the first place, Chuck downloads the new system into his head. Chuck then triggers a power surge that destroys the |
7645577 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
system and also disables the security system protecting the chamber. Miles and his men enter with Sarah and Casey as prisoners and prepare to kill them in front of Chuck. As he takes aim, Chuck flashes and instantly learns kung fu, then effortlessly defeats all five hostiles, revealing that the new Intersect is able to impart physical skills as well as information. As Sarah and Casey stare at Chuck (who is, himself, recovering from a state of shock) in surprise and disbelief, the episode ends with chuck saying ""Guys, I know kung fu"" with the words ""To Be Continued..."". ""Chuck |
7645578 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
Versus the Ring"" addressed many plot points that appeared throughout the series to that point. Most significantly, Chuck learns the reasons Bryce Larkin originally sent him the Intersect in the opening of the series. The episode revealed a pre-existing relationship between Bryce Larkin and Stephen Bartowski/Orion. Some time before the events in the pilot and after Bryce got Chuck kicked out of Stanford, Orion learned about Bryce's actions in protecting his son and came to view him as the only spy he could trust. Their interactions are not explicitly mentioned. However, Bryce learned enough about Orion to come to respect |
7645579 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
him and to view him as a hero. Bryce goes against Orion's wishes of not involving Chuck and sends the Intersect to him, knowing his former college friend could handle it and saying he deserved to know the truth about his father's disappearance when he was a child. It also brought an end to the Fulcrum Intersect arc that dominated the second half of the season, as well as the minor arc concerning the wedding of Ellie and Devon. A major concern of Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz was that audiences would mistake the previous episode for the season finale, |
7645580 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
however Fedak described ""Chuck Versus the Ring"" as a ""cataclysmic bit of action-comedy,"" and promised that it would be even bigger than ""Chuck Versus the Colonel."" The ending had been planned from the earliest stages of the second season's development, and much of the mythology that was revealed throughout the final episodes of the season had been in existence from the initial planning of the series in 2007. When preparing to film the fight scene between Chuck and The Ring agents, Schwartz and Fedak were unsure whether to employ a stuntman or actually use Levi during the shoot. Only after |
7645581 | "Chuck Versus the Ring"
giving Levi a chance to work with the stunt choreographer and seeing what they had worked up did they decide to use as much of Levi in the scene as possible. Alan Sepinwall of the New Jersey Star-Ledger called the episode the best in the series. He particularly cited the scene of Jeffster!'s performance of ""Mr. Roboto"" set against the church shootout as containing ""so much concentrated awesome that it might be illegal in certain states."" IGN scored the episode a 9.3, finding it a bit choppy with multiple endings that caused the episode to seem to stop and start. |

Chilton D.W.1 The Chilton D.W.1 is a British light sporting monoplane designed and built in the late 1930s by Chilton Aircraft at Hungerford, Berkshire. The Chilton D.W.1 was designed and built on the Chilton Lodge estate at Leverton near Hungerford in Berkshire in early 1937 by two ex de Havilland Technical School students who formed Chilton Aircraft Limited for the purpose. The aircraft was intended to be cheap to build and operate, yet have an exceptional performance on low power. This was derived from its aerodynamically clean design with an all-wood airframe with plywood skin. Only the control surfaces and |

the trailing edge of the wing behind the rear spar were fabric covered. The wing also carried trailing edge split flaps. The undercarriage was enclosed in trouser fairings and a cabin top could be fitted. The first three aircraft were powered by the 32 h.p. Carden-Ford, a water-cooled automobile engine that had been lightened and modified for aircraft use. Initial flight trials with the prototype ""G-AESZ"" were made by Ranald Porteous at Witney airfield in April 1937, revealing that some minor modifications were needed to the engine and propeller. The first public appearance was made at Southend Airport on 4 |

September 1937. The second and third aircraft were completed and sold in 1938. The final aircraft was completed in July 1939 and was powered by the new French-built 44 h.p. Train 4T four-cylinder inverted inline air-cooled engine. This aircraft (G-AFSV) was designated the D.W.1A, and the Hon. A.W.H. Dalrymple flew it in the Folkestone Aero Trophy Race at Lympne on 5 August 1939, winning at an average speed of 126 mph. All four Chiltons survived the Second World War. The D.W.1A ""G-AFSV"" broke the 100 km international closed circuit record at 124.5 mph at Lympne airfield on 31 August 1947, |

flown by Ranald Porteus. The last three Chiltons were flown in U.K. air races for several years. The cleaned-up third aircraft won the ""Daily Express"" air race at Shoreham Airport on 22 September 1951 at an average speed of 129 mph. The first home constructed post-war Chilton was the Canadian ""C-GIST"", built during 1980-91 and powered by a Volkswagen engine. It is currently in the UK, non-flying but with plans for a rebuild with a Walter Mikron. The first UK build was ""G-BWGJ"", powered by the 55 hp Lycoming O-145 engine from the prewar ""G-AFGH"". It flew but has been |
