The Tyranny of Distance is the second album by American rock band Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, released in 2001 by Lookout! Records. It was the group's first album as a full band, as their previous album tej leo?, Rx / pharmacists had been a solo effort by singer/guitarist Ted Leo. The album's title comes from a lyric in the Split Enz song Six Months in a Leaky Boat, which the band later covered twice: first as a Leo solo on the EP Tell Balgeary, Balgury Is Dead in 2003, and again as a full band on 2005's Sharkbite Sessions. Critical reception Nate Cavalieri of AllMusic said about the record overall, By fusing the punk and retro-pop elements of his musical history with a noisy affection for '60s blues-rock formulas, The Tyranny of Distance showcases some of Leo's best songwriting to date. Laden with falsetto hooks and overtly romantic observations of the world, he is able to control combinations of aggression and sentiment and focus them into highly melodic expressions of pure emotion. Pitchfork writer Chip Chanko praised the musicianship of backing band the Pharmacists and Leo's songwriting and guitar work, saying that Ted Leo's latest offers ample hooks, a uniquely expressive voice, and a perfect single that, in a just universe, would be all over the radio. I wanted to tell the world of the album's riches! Riches of song! In 2009, Pitchfork placed The Tyranny of Distance at number 120 on their list of the Top 200 Albums of the 2000s. Pitchfork writer Jason Crock said, Formed in between Pharmacists lineups and aided by numerous friends in the studio, Tyranny of Distance sounds cobbled together by the pieces of a lifetime's listening while still remarkably cohesive and whole.

GeorgiaPoland relations refers to foreign relations between Georgia and Poland. Both countries established diplomatic relation on 28 April 1992. Both countries are full members of the Council of Europe. The documented ties between Georgia and Poland reach back to the 15th century, when the Georgian Kartlian King Konstantin sent a diplomatic mission to the Polish King Alexander Jagiellon. Later, Polish King Jan III Sobieski tried to establish contacts with Georgia. Many Georgians participated in military campaigns led by Poland in the 17th century. Bogdan Gurdziecki, a Georgian, who was the greatest authority on all things Persian working in the Polish king's diplomatic service, made frequent diplomatic trips to Persia, on which he obtained, among other things, guarantees upholding earlier privileges for missionaries. Already during the rule of King Jan Kazimierz, he sent on missions to Isfahan, and King Jan III Sobieski availed himself of Gurdziecki's talents in like manner in 1668, 1671, 16761678, in 16821684, and in 1687. Gurdziecki remained at the court of the shah for several years in the capacity of special resident and representative of the Polish king; it was he who delivered to the shah Suleiman news about the victory of the Christian forces at Vienna 1683. During the brief period of Georgian independence in 1920, Poland and Georgia had established good relations and signed a short-lived alliance. During the War in South Ossetia in 2008, Poland strongly supported Georgia. The President of Poland, Lech Kaczyński, flew to Tbilisi along with other Eastern European presidents to rally against the Russian military buildup and subsequent military conflict. After several attacks on the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, the Polish president allowed the Georgian MFA to publish its messages on his website.

In Kalamba, there is final resting place for Peter Scott. First AIC Church at Kalamba village As a historical destination it is now known as the origin of AIC Church in Kenya. In 1895, Mr. Peter Cameron Scott, a Scottish missionary sent from America passed here and ventured further interior to Nzaui where he set up the first Africa inland Mission in Kalamba with his sister Margret and six others. After hardly seven months, he had established three other missions in Ukambani at Sakai, Kilungu and Kangundo.

The AIC Kalamba Mission A very committed Christian, Peter Scott managed to build the first house that measured 30ft by 14ft that was completed on 23 December 1895 which the five missionaries occupied. Peter was generally weak but very strong in faith as he had been run over by a hand cart back home at the age of 3 making his general condition of health unpredictable for the better part of his life. Despite his poor health he had within 7 months managed to establish three other mission stations at Sakai, Kilungu and Kangundo including the main station at Kalamba through very challenging situations. A portrait of Johannes Hoffman and that of his wife Emilie who lived here between 1886-1914 is preserved in the church with a written message in his own words. Rock climbing Kalamba has a reputation as a rock climbers paradise. References Category:Kondoa District Category:Populated places in Dodoma Region Category:Wards of Tanzania

Notably, Slyck.com extensively covered the Torrent website, The Pirate Bay, and the efforts by Swedish and other national authorities to shut down the website and prosecute the founders/owners of the Pirate Bay. Slyck.com covered other news topics like roll out of Broadband Internet, new technology and hardware and advances in networking. Notable Interviews Slyck news writers were able to interview notable individuals such as: Michael Weiss of StreamCast, Nir Arbel of SoulSeek, and Pablo Soto of Optisoft S.L and Kevin Hearn of WinMX were interviewed regarding their software and P2P networks.

About Last Night styled as About Last Night... is a 1986 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Edward Zwick, and starring Rob Lowe and Demi Moore as Chicago yuppies who enter a committed relationship for the first time. The screenplay by Tim Kazurinsky and Denise DeClue is based on the 1974 David Mamet play Sexual Perversity in Chicago. The film received positive reviews. It was remade as the 2014 About Last Night without the ellipsis. Plot The movie begins in Chicago with two 20-something friends and colleagues, Dan Martin and Bernie Litko, discussing their outlandish sexual escapades. Later on, Bernie and Dan's recreational softball team, sponsored by local bar Mothers, plays against a local advertising agency and wins. Attending this game with her girlfriends is Debbie Sullivan, who works at the advertising company and is sleeping with her boss, Steve. Debbie catches Dan's eye and the two flirt at a beer keg. Debbie and her friends, Joan and Pat, decide to attend the game's afterparty at Mother's, where Debbie again runs into Dan, with whom Pat attempts to flirt and Joan takes an immediate dislike to. They wind up back at Dan's apartment and sleep together, after which Debbie hastily leaves. The next day, Dan calls Debbie at work about last night, and asks her out on a second date, to which she accepts. After their date, they again wind up in bed together and spend the following day exploring the city, where Dan reveals to Debbie that his dream is to quit his job at a restaurant supply company and open his own restaurant. They begin to date more seriously and decide to move in together, much to the chagrin of Joan and Bernie, who dislike each other as well. Because neither of the two have ever been in a serious relationship before, they attempt to navigate cohabitation without much support from their friends. They experience much throughout their relationship: Dan being contacted by a former lover who is married with children, Debbie's boss Steve having difficulty accepting the end of their affair, Joan softening when she begins dating her new boyfriend Gary, Bernie perpetually informing Dan that their beautiful colleague, Carmen, has shown an interest in Dan, and Dan having difficulties with his boss, who wants him to stop providing supplies to Gus, a client with whom Dan is friends yet is unable to pay his debts because his restaurant, Swallow, is run-down. Despite having told each other the L Word, Debbie and Dan's relationship becomes strained, and reaches a boiling point at a New Year's Eve party at Mother's, where Debbie witnesses a drunken Pat making advances towards Dan, and Joan discovers her boyfriend is married and returning to his wife. Joan tearfully asks Debbie to take her home, to which she agrees, despite Dan's angry objections. Upon Debbie's return home, Dan ends their relationship, and she moves out of their apartment and back in with Joan. Despite getting back on the dating scene quickly, Dan begins to regret his decision regarding Debbie, and unsuccessfully attempts to win her back at a St. Patrick's Day celebration at Mother's. Hoping to move on with his life, Dan partners with Gus to revitalize Swallow into an old-school diner, achieving his dream. The following summer at another softball game, Dan and Bernie see Debbie riding her bike through the park with Joan, who convinces her to go and talk to Dan. She approaches him and they both express regret at how their relationship turned out. As Debbie begins to turn away, Dan asks her out again and suggests they go to a great new place, but she suggests with a smile that they just go to some old joint, signifying that she is aware of his new restaurant. As she rides away on her bike, Bernie convinces Dan to run after her, and the camera pans out to see Dan and Debbie walking through the park, hinting at their renewed relationship.

It was the 26th highest-grossing movie of 1986, and the 10th highest-grossing R-rated movie of 1986. Critical response The film gained positive reviews. Roger Ebert gave it 4 out of 4 stars, writing in his review that About Last Night . . . is one of the rarest of recent American movies, because it deals fearlessly with real people, instead of with special effects. The lead performances were especially praised, with Ebert writing Lowe and Moore, members of Hollywood's Brat Pack, are survivors of last summer's awful movie about yuppie singles, St. Elmo's Fire. This is the movie St. Elmo's Fire should have been. Last summer's movie made them look stupid and shallow. About Last Night . . . gives them the best acting opportunities either one has ever had, and they make the most of them. The film holds a 61 rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 28 reviews. On IMDb the film has rating of 6.2/10 based on 13429 reviews. Soundtrack The film's music soundtrack album was released on EMI Records.

K+ is the debut mixtape of American vocalist Kilo Kish. It was released as a digital download on February 7, 2013. Production Several demos were recorded for K+, both in the studio and at home. Reception Initially, K+ received a mixed to positive critical response. BBC Music's Mike Diver wrote K+ recalled both Lauryn Hills guard-down emotions, articulated brilliantly on The Miseducation of [Lauryn Hill], and the solid narrative structure that served Kendrick Lamars good kid, m.A.A.d city so well. Her promise is reaching fruition. Writing for The A&T Register, Jeffrey Lockhart felt the mixtape was very well polished, and professional, and assumed that Kilo Kish had a future in the music industry. NME writer Siân Rowe, giving the album a 7 out of 10, said that Kish might not be entirely #wow just yet unsurprising, considering she made songs for her debut Homeschool EP as a joke kinda but shes heading there. In a more varied review, Mike Madden of Consequence of Sound said the mixtape was a very of-the-moment project due to its influences and elements of genres like neo-soul and trap music, but criticized it because it winds up so exemplary of some fads in music circa now and gets so little out of them that its all too easy to imagine it blending in with everything else that sounds similar and going obsolete within a year or two.

Turkmenistan is a country with large potential for an expanded tourism industry. Many of its Central Asian cities were main points of trade on the Silk Road, linking Eastern and Western civilizations. Many neighboring countries including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Iran promote their countries based on their location along the Great Silk Road. Tourism has grown rapidly in recent years. Tourists from abroad are deterred by the restrictive visa regime with all countries of the world. Tourism is regulated by the Tourism Committee of Turkmenistan. Historical sites There are three World Heritage Sites in Turkmenistan. Nisa also Parthaunisa was an ancient city, located near modern-day Bagir village, 18 km southwest of Ashgabat. Nisa is described by some as one of the first capitals of the Parthians. It is traditionally assumed to be founded by Arsaces I reigned c. 250 BC211 BC, and was reputedly the royal necropolis of the Parthian kings, although it has not been established that the fortress at Nisa was either a royal residence or a mausoleum. Merv formerly Achaemenid Satrapy of Margiana, and later Alexandria and Antiochia in Margiana, was a major oasis-city in Central Asia, on the historical Silk Road, located near today's Mary. Several cities have existed on this site, which is significant for the interchange of culture and politics at a site of major strategic value. It is claimed that Merv was briefly the largest city in the world in the 12th century. Konye-Urgench is a municipality of about 30,000 inhabitants in north-eastern Turkmenistan, just south from its border with Uzbekistan. It is the site of the ancient town of Ürgenç, which contains the unexcavated ruins of the 12th-century capital of Khwarezm. Since 2005, the ruins of Old Urgench have been protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. See List of World Heritage Sites in Turkmenistan Resorts and nature tourism The warm Caspian Sea coast of Turkmenistan is the site for a number of popular sea resorts like Awaza. Wildlife areas in the desert and other attractions Desert fauna of Karakum includes many kinds of rare animals. There is a Karakum nature reserve at the flood-land drained by the Amu Darya. Near Derweze village in the middle of the Karakum Desert is a natural gas deposit. While drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, creating the Darvaza gas crater, a large hole with a diameter of at . To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided the best solution was to burn it off. Geologists had hoped the fire would use all the fuel in a matter of days, but the gas is still burning today. Locals have dubbed the cavern the Door to Hell. Accessibility of the country Most trips to Turkmenistan begin with arrival at the capital Ashgabat or the seaside town Turkmenbashi. Ashgabat has a modern international airport, which is the base of Turkmenistan Airlines. The airport is served by S7 Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Flydubai, Belavia and China Southern Airlines. Another three airports in Turkmenistan Turkmenabat, Mary and Turkmenbashi have international status. Because of current restrictions, tickets for domestic flights cannot be booked or purchased more than 14 days prior to departure. Museums Most of the museums are located in the major cities of Turkmenistan such as Ashgabat, Turkmenabat, Balkanabat, Mary and Dazhoguz . Some of these include: Ashgabat National Museum of History Mary Museum The main museum of Turkmenistan Turkmen Carpet Museum Turkmen Museum of Fine Arts Tourists in 2007 In 2007 Turkmenistan was visited by 8,200 tourists.

Vinko Bogataj Slovenian: ; born 1948 is a Slovenian former ski jumper. Footage of him crashing featured on ABC's Wide World of Sports represented the Agony of Defeat. Agony of Defeat jump Bogataj competed as a Yugoslav entrant at the ski flying event in Oberstdorf, West Germany on 7 March 1970. A light snow had begun falling at the start of the competition, and by the time Bogataj was ready for his third jump on the Heini Klopfer hill, the snow had become quite heavy. Midway down the inrun for his jump, Bogataj realised that the conditions had made the ramp too fast. He attempted to lower his center of gravity and stop his jump, but instead lost his balance completely and rocketed out of control off the end of the inrun, tumbling and flipping wildly, and crashing through a light retaining fence near a crowd of spectators before coming to a halt. Bogataj suffered a mild concussion and a broken ankle. A film crew from Wide World of Sports was recording the event in which Bogataj crashed. The show featured an opening narration by host Jim McKay over a montage of sports clips, and co-ordinating producer Dennis Lewin inserted the footage of the crash to coincide with the words ...and the agony of defeat. Throughout the show's long history, various images were used for the other parts of the narration, including for the thrill of victory..., which directly preceded the above phrase and was often accompanied by images of the celebrating team at the most recent Super Bowl or World Cup, but after that point, the agony of defeat was always illustrated by Bogataj's failed jump. Later on, other clips were added to the agony of defeat, but Bogataj's crash was always featured and always the first played. The melodrama of the narrationwhich became a catchphrase in the UStransformed the uncredited ski jumper into an American icon of bad luck and misfortune. Meanwhile, having retired to his quiet, private life in Slovenia, Bogataj was unaware of his celebrity, and so was surprised to be asked to attend the 20th anniversary celebration for Wide World of Sports in 1981. He received the loudest ovation of any athlete introduced at the gala, and attendees such as Muhammad Ali asked him for his autograph. Later life Bogataj returned to ski jumping in 1971 but never duplicated the success he had before the crash and retired from the sport competitively, save for occasional senior competitions thereafter. During his career, his best career finish was 57th in the individual normal hill competition in Bischofshofen in 1969 during that year's Four Hills Tournament. Bogataj became a ski instructor, coaching the 1991 World Champion Slovenian ski jumper Franci Petek.

Lexington is the county seat of Davidson County, North Carolina, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 18,931. It is located in central North Carolina, south of Winston-Salem. Major highways include I-85, I-85B, U.S. Route 29, U.S. Route 70, U.S. Route 52 soon to be I-285 and U.S. Route 64. Lexington is part of the Piedmont Triad region of the state. Lexington, Thomasville, and the rural areas surrounding them are slowly developing as residential bedroom communities for nearby cities such as Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point and, to a lesser extent, Charlotte and its northeastern suburbs. History The Lexington area was at least sparsely settled by Europeans in 1775. The settlers named their community in honor of Lexington, Massachusetts, the site of the first skirmish of the American Revolutionary War. Lexington was incorporated as a city in 1828. Silver Hill Mine, located a few miles south of Lexington, opened in 1838, and was the first operating silver mine in the country. The oldest surviving house in Lexington is The Homestead, built by Dr. William Rainey Holt 17981868, a physician born in what is today Alamance County. The Homestead has windows, sidelights and other Palladian details characteristic of the pattern books of architect Asher Benjamin. In addition to The Homestead, the Erlanger Mill Village Historic District, First Reformed Church, Grace Episcopal Church, Grimes Brothers Mill, Grimes School, Hedrick's Grove Reformed Church, Junior Order United American Mechanics National Orphans Home, Lexington Memorial Hospital, Lexington Residential Historic District, Old Davidson County Courthouse, Pilgrim Reformed Church Cemetery, Henry Shoaf Farm, Uptown Lexington Historic District, and John Henry Welborn House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Business and industry In the twentieth century until the late 1990s, Lexington's economy was mainly based on textile and furniture manufacturing. Since then, most local manufacturers have moved their production facilities to Asia and Mexico as a way to reduce costs and remain competitive in a global market. This caused the closure of most textile and furniture factories and contributed to economic difficulties for a community that was heavily dependent on these two industries for employment. The Lexington industrial portfolio has since diversified. Other large employers include: Diebold Halyard Health Jeld-Wen Lolly Wolly Doodle PPG Industries Vitacost Culture Barbecue Lexington calls itself the Barbecue Capital of the World. Since 1984, the city has hosted the Lexington Barbecue Festival, one of the largest street festivals in North Carolina. As of 2003, the city has over twenty barbecue restaurants, an average of more than one per thousand residents. In 2012, US News and World Report ranked Lexington #4 on its list of the best cities for barbecue. Lexington-style barbecue is made with pork shoulder cooked slowly over a hardwood fire, usually hickory. It is basted in a sauce called dip locally made with vinegar, ketchup, water, salt, pepper and other spices. The ingredients vary from restaurant to restaurant, with each restaurant's recipe being a closely guarded secret. While each is vinegar-based, the taste varies widely from tangy to slightly sweet or spicy. The most distinguishing feature of the Lexington Barbecue Sandwich is the inclusion of red slaw sometimes called barbecue slaw. Red slaw is a combination of cabbage, vinegar, ketchup and crushed/ground black pepper; it is distinguishable from coleslaw because it contains no mayonnaise. Many Lexingtonians and visitors consider red slaw a staple for a quality barbecue experience. Red slaw is commonly served as a side dish with barbecue, grilled poultry and other meats, and on hot dogs as a relish. Pigs in the City Pigs in the City is a public art initiative coordinated by Uptown Lexington, Inc., a non-profit organization created to revitalize the downtown locally called uptown area of Lexington. People pay commissions to artists to decorate life-sized sculptures of pigs, which was installed throughout the city. Pigs in the City began in 2003, and the event drew more than 40,000 visitors from all over the state in its first year. The cost to sponsor one of the 20 pigs on display was $1,000 during the first exhibition, which paid for the initiative. The event ran from 20032005, and 20082009. In 2019, it was announced that Pigs in the City will return in 2020. High Rock Lake The second largest lake in North Carolina, High Rock Lake is located a few miles south of Lexington. Its water surface covers , and it has of shoreline. It begins at the confluence of the Yadkin and South Yadkin rivers. High Rock Lake has long been considered one of the best fishing lakes of North Carolina. It is the site of the Bassmaster Tournaments, including the Bassmaster Classic in 1994, 1995, 1997 and 2007 and frequently is used for other angling competitions. The lake is stocked with channel, blue, and flathead catfish, plus crappie and several different sunfish, such as bluegill, shellcracker and others. Striper and their hybrids, as well as white bass, are also abundant. The lake is best known for its quantity and quality of largemouth bass, which attract anglers from all over the United States. This is likely due to the relatively shallow nature of the lake and the favorable habitat for the bass. Geography Lexington is located in the Piedmont Triad region. It is centered at 35°49'0 North, 80°15'31 West 35.816768, −80.258643. Lexington is northeast of High Rock Lake, part of the Yadkin-Pee Dee chain of lakes in central North Carolina.

St John the Divine, Kennington, is an Anglican church in London. The parish of Kennington is within the Anglican Diocese of Southwark. The church was designed by the architect George Edmund Street who also built the Royal Courts of Justice on Strand, London in the Decorated Gothic style, and was built between 1871 and 1874. Today it is a grade I listed building. The church stands on Vassall Road, Kennington, in Vassall Ward in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is near Oval tube station and the Oval Cricket Ground. The spire can be seen clearly for miles around. Architecture The church is regarded as a fine example of Victorian Gothic. The general construction is of red brick, but all parapets, window openings, doorways, etc. are dressed with stone. The upper part of the spire is entirely of stone. At over 260 feet, it is the tallest spire in south London and can be seen for miles around. The poet John Betjeman remarked that St John the Divine was the most magnificent church in South London. The original church interior was designed by George Frederick Bodley Founder of Watts & Co. , and was fitted out in a highly ornate style typical of the Victorian era and of Anglo-Catholic churches, including stone carvings by Thomas Earp, wrought iron altar rails, stained glass windows, and a carved reredos painted by Clayton and Bell. A new organ by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd was installed in 1875. The church suffered severe bomb damage in 1941 during the Blitz, and most of the original interior fittings were lost. After years of restoration work under the direction of H. S. Goodhart-Rendel, St John the Divine re-opened in September 1958. The tower and gargoyles The spire and tower were extensively restored in 1994, and a new set of carved grotesques and gargoyles was added. Many of the carvings are in the form of caricature representations of members of the church congregation, the British Royal Family or the clergy. The Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Archbishop Michael Ramsey are among the better-known figures depicted. Stained glass Much of the original stained glass was destroyed in the 1941 bombing, and it has been replaced with plain glass windows in the north and south aisles. Some original stained glass designed by Charles Eamer Kempe has survived, including the west window and two windows in the south aisle. The windows at the east end are also original. During restoration, new windows designed and crafted by W. T. Carter Shapland were installed in the All Souls Chapel. Murals Behind the altar is a set of murals painted by Brian Thomas in 1966. The left-hand panel depicts the Virgin Mary and Jesus in a floral garden. A central panel is decorated with lilies and roses traditional Marian symbols. The right-hand panel is a pietà, with Mary holding the body of the crucified Christ, and instead of a floral border it is framed with thorns, representing the Crown of Thorns. The Korean Icon Above the North door hangs the 'Korean Icon'. Designed in the style of a Greek Orthodox iconostasis, it depicts various figures from the Christian Gospels. It was dedicated as a memorial to Bishop Charles John Corfe, who founded the Anglican Church of Korea in 1890. The Kelham Rood On the south side of the nave stands the Kelham Rood, a life-size bronze sculpture of Christ on the Cross together with free-standing figures of St John and the Virgin Mary. It is the work of sculptor Charles Sargeant Jagger 18851934, who also designed the Royal Artillery Memorial in London's Hyde Park Corner, and was completed in 1929. The sculpture was originally commissioned by the Society of the Sacred Mission SSM for the Great Chapel at Kelham Hall in Nottinghamshire. The sculpture then stood in the SSM Priory in Willen near Milton Keynes, before being moved to St John the Divine. The original plan to suspend the sculpture above the high altar was not put into effect. It has, instead, been placed at floor level in full and close view of the congregation see pictures below. Worship Since its foundation in 1871, St John the Divine has been affiliated with the Anglican High Church. The second vicar, Rev. Charles Edward Brooke, was associated with the Oxford Movement and its work in poorer parishes. At this time, ritualistic practices in the Church of England were being limited by the Public Worship Regulation Act 1874. The Sisterhood of St. John the Divine, an Anglican religious order, is indirectly named after this church, for its foundress, Hannah Grier Coome found spiritual comfort in the parish during her residence in Britain. The High Church traditions continue today, and services in this church are generally in the Anglo-Catholic style, with an emphasis on sacraments, liturgy and ceremony. On Sundays and holy days, clergy wear decorated robes, a choir sings the Mass, and incense is used. Through the week, Mass is said daily. The liturgy is usually based on the Common Worship prayer book 2000. The High Anglican style of worship is reflected in the design and decoration of the church, with the presence of devotional statues, icons, sanctuary lamps and the Reserved sacrament.

Edward Nicholas Cole September 17, 1909 May 2, 1977 was an American automotive executive for General Motors. Career Cole was the son of a dairy farmer. In his youth, he designed, built, and sold homemade radio sets, and as a teenager became a field representative for a tractor manufacturer. He wanted to be a lawyer, but landed a part-time job in an auto parts store while attending Grand Rapids Community College. He then enrolled in General Motors Institute, where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Epsilon now Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Soon after Cole married his hometown sweetheart, Esther Engman. He worked in engineering, rising to co-head a team with Harry Barr that developed the 1949 Cadillac V8. He was briefly assigned to run a GM plant in Cleveland, Ohio, when Chevrolet general manager Tom Keating requested his assignment as chief engineer. He became chief engineer of the Chevrolet Division in 1952. His most important task was to develop a new engine for Chevy's lineup to replace the Stovebolt Six; that new engine was Chevrolet's small-block V8, a massive success that remained in production for decades. He collaborated with Zora Arkus-Duntov to revitalize the weak-performing early Corvettes, and he also introduced engineering and design advancements in the Chevrolet car and truck lines between 1955 and 1962. Cole was promoted to general manager of Chevrolet in 1956. During these years, Chevy was a perennial sales leader, but with only larger cars in the lineup. As general manager of Chevrolet, he directed the development of the Corvair intended to pursue the compact car market. The strong early sales of the new car with its radical design with rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, put Cole on the cover of Time magazine October 5, 1959 issue. Cole was promoted to head the GM car and truck group in 1961, then to executive vice-president in 1965, and to president in 1967. Cole was chief engineer of the Chevrolet Vega and directed the GM design staff in developing their first subcompact, four passenger vehicle. Cole's persistence in getting his advanced engineering projects to the production line resulted in the innovative aluminum engines in both the Corvair and Vega. He would preside over Vega's troubled launch, which was intertwined with a disastrous 1970 confrontation between GM and the United Auto Workers. Ironically, Cole's greatest engineering triumph came the same year. Cole ordered engine compression ratios reduced after 1970 knowing regulations would tighten. Cole oversaw the transition away from leaded gasoline and prepared GM for catalytic converters in 1975. Cole retired from GM in 1974. He then became chairman and CEO of Checker Motors Corporation and Chairman of International Husky, an air-freight company. In 1977, the Rifle River Scout Canoe Base was renamed the Edward N. Cole Canoe Base to reflect the dedication of Edward N. Cole to Scouting in the Detroit Area. He died at age 67 in a crash during a storm. He was piloting his private twin-engine Beagle B.206 Series 2 plane near Kalamazoo, Michigan, about south of where he was born. Cole became a member of Michigan Gamma Chapter of the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society in 1952. In 1998, Cole was posthumously inducted into the Corvette Hall of Fame. His son, David E. Cole, is Chairman Emeritus of the Center for Automotive Research CAR in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1977.

Östersund ; is an urban area city in Jämtland in the middle of Sweden. It is the seat of Östersund Municipality and the capital of Jämtland County. Östersund is located at the shores of Sweden's fifth largest lake, Storsjön, opposite the island Frösön, and is the only city in Jämtland. Östersund is the region's cultural and economical centre and by tradition a city of trade and commerce. Östersund had one of the most extensive garrisons in Sweden prior to its closure in the early-21st century. The city is the Mid Sweden University's largest campus site with approximately 7,000 students. With a total population of 50,960 2017 Östersund is the 22nd most populous city in Sweden, the 46th most populous city in Scandinavia, and by far the largest inland city in Northern Sweden. The city was the only Swedish city founded and chartered in the 18th century. Östersund was founded in order to create a trade monopoly over Jämtland whose inhabitants' lucrative trade annoyed the Swedish crown. The intention was to persuade the local farmers to deliver merchandise to middlemen in Östersund, but the population opposed this economic philosophy, and Östersund long remained small. It took until the end of the 19th century for Östersund to truly become a city, after the arrival of the railroad and the economic liberalization of that time. Östersund is situated in inland Scandinavia and connected to Sundsvall in the east on the Swedish coast, and Trondheim in the west at the shores of the Norwegian sea. Östersund is located in the middle of Scandinavia, in the middle of Sweden, in the middle of Jämtland County and in the middle of Östersund Municipality. As the most centrally located city in Sweden, the city credits itself as the centre of Sweden. Östersund is marketed as Vinterstaden Winter City. Winter City as a project is run by the Municipality together with city enterprises. Östersund has had a long history as a centre of outdoor activities with a modern cross-country ski stadium and an actual piste in the city itself. Östersund has also hosted several World Championships in various sports such as biathlon, speed skating and ski orienteering along with Swedish National Championships in cross country skiing and snocross. The city has been the applicant city of Sweden for several Winter Olympic Games, but has yet to host one. The precursor to the Winter Olympic Games, the Nordic Games, were however held at several occasions in the city, due to lack of snow in Stockholm. Geography Östersund is the only city in the province and it is located on the shore of the fifth largest lake in Sweden, Storsjön. The area surrounding this lake is commonly referred to as Storsjöbygden and this area has been described as the World's northern-most located genuine agricultural society in the inland with continental climate. The city sprawls along the eastern slopes of lake Storsjön and most of the city and the city core itself is located on the mainland, facing the non mainland part of the city, the island of Frösön, which for a very long time was the actual centre of Jämtland. Today, a sizeable part of the city's population live on the slopes of the island that face the city centre. Östersund is a bimunicipal town because a minor part of it with roughly 400 inhabitants is actually situated in Krokom Municipality. The city spans across Östersundet and the city was named after this strait. Östersund can be directly translated from Swedish to English as East Sound. The name of the strait derives from an older Jamtish name now present in the form Åstersånn. Climate Östersund has a subarctic climate Köppen: Dfc and is located in the far north of the north temperate climate zone. The cold Arctic winds that occasionally find their way to the city are called nordvästan the north-westerner or kallvästan the cold-westerner locally. However the winter climate is much warmer than most locations at similar latitudes. This is due to the gulf stream and the many passages in the mountain range, bringing warmer Atlantic winds to the city during winters. This somewhat maritime character also makes the summers in the city rather cool, in comparison to other towns in inland Scandinavia, which all have a more continental climate with cold winters and warm summers. It contains a strong influence of the humid continental climate courtesy of its mild September lows extending the mild mean temperatures. Though Östersund is in fact affected by the gulf stream it lacks the high frequency of rain following the currents. This is due to the Scandinavian Mountain Range acting as a natural barrier, receiving most of the precipitation, giving Östersund and the surrounding area a rain deficit. Another issue that has to be taken into account is the higher elevation of Östersund compared to the weather stations in Ångermanland farther east. For example, Sollefteå at a similar latitude to the east but at sea level, albeit inland, has almost three degrees warmer July days. Östersund has a high exposition of sunlight and was the most sunny city in Sweden in the summer of 2007 1 July to 9 August with 654 hours of sun. However, in comparison to east coast locations, sunshine is relatively low. Cityscape Östersund was laid out with roads spanning from north to south countered by several alleys from east to west, which is why an alley in Östersund is synonymous with a road leading down towards Storsjön. From the inner city one may gaze upon Storsjön, Frösön and the Jamtish fell region with snow-clad mountains. This was made possible due to the topography and the grid plan. The regularity in Östersund's road system and the slanting alleys leading from higher altitudes down towards Storsjön have created the windows to the west characteristic and unique to Östersund as a city. The alleys, often seen as rather steep, have created the illusion that the houses in the city core are climbing to higher grounds. These houses were conformed upon their construction to fit with the slopes. The first city plan of Östersund was made with several large segments in the core being reserved as green areas. Östersund was thus planned as a green city and special lots, e.g. kryddgårdstomter spice garden lots were created along with construction lots. These lots shifted with a construction lot alternating with a spice garden lot. The garden lots are no longer existent since they too have been constructed upon. Many of the fences that separated each lot from another with trees and verdure were left intact. The large green areas are still present, with parks such as Kyrkparken, Österängsparken and Badhusparken being the most prominent. Badhusparken was once the location of a large bath house hence the name Badhus- though it was torn down in 1881 when the railway was constructed. A new larger two-storey pompous bath house was later built on poles a few metres from the shore, enabling the population to bathe in the waters of Storsjön during summers. This house was also torn down, when a new bath house with heated water was founded in 1938. When Östersund started to grow as a city in the late 19th century the houses consisted predominantly of wood, though stone had become popular in the central parts. These houses were heavily characterized by Neo-Gothicism and Neo-Renaissance. A very common feature of these houses were towers, some even resembling those on old castles like the one on Hotell Grand at the main square. In the early 20th century a new age had come and in the main road, Prästgatan, the new age came fiercely. The wooden houses were replaced by stone buildings, because a city's well being was measured in how many stone buildings it had. At the same time military barracks were constructed in connection to the older settlement. Jugendstil became popular too as an addition to the National Romantic style architecture. In the 1930s, the functionalistic style made itself apparent in Östersund's outskirts, which were growing. In the 1940s, the city was made more car-friendly and the city was first and foremost planned for cars. Later the sanitarian issues was brought up, which resulted in the construction of a sewage treatment works and the waste water was no longer flushed directly into Storsjön. Östersund was also affected by the Million Programme, though to a lesser extent than other cities. During the same period older buildings such as Hotell Grand to make room for Storsjöteatern, Cellfängelset a jail located at the beginning of Prästgatan, Flickskolan the girl school next to the city hall, where the current county library is located and Västra stationen at Badhusparken were torn down. The local media described it all as e.g. demolishing madness. When the Good Templar house was threatened in order to widen Rådhusgatan the city's inhabitants had had enough and the building was saved. The buildings along Storgatan literally: the large street with entire segments intact since the 1880s are considered one of the best preserved city settlements in Sweden. The wooden façades are rich with details and the house are relatively low, short and slim. A great amount of work was put down on creating a balance between details and entirety. Parallel with Storgatan lies Prästgatan the priest street, Östersund's main shopping street. The buildings between the two streets are often connected and the streets create small rooms mostly inaccessible for keen winds. These so-called rooms also stimulate the social life on the streets. Stortorget the main town square in central Östersund is one of six closed squares built in Sweden, the others being the ones in Uppsala, Karlstad, Vimmerby, Piteå and Haparanda. It was created through indentation in four different blocks to deliberately create an open air room with openings to every direction, a style deriving from how cities were planned during the Renaissance. However the town square lost its original shape when it was opened up and expanded towards the lake. Stortorget has long been the city's main market place and core, it is also here that the thousand year old market Gregorie market is held each year in March. The city festival Storsjöyran has Stortorget as its main centre. Districts and housing estates Before Östersund was established the population in the area was very scarce. In Odensala and Torvalla older settlements existed, the name Odensala can be derived from the Viking age and the Halls of Odin though Torvalla means dry wealds with no reference to Thor. These two villages were later incorporated into Östersund and are today two major urban districts. Besides them the urban districts of Odenskog, Odensvik, Odenslund, Karlslund, Erikslund, Lugnvik, Lillänge and Söder along with the new district Stadsdel Norr are found on the mainland. On Frösön, recently included into the city are the three urban districts Hornsberg, Mjälle and Valla. The central parts of Östersund are a part of the urban district Staden the city, which has become synonymous with Östersund for many people living in the nearby villages and towns. As Östersund is the only city in the area and nearest city for many it is common to call it Stan, though the dative form Staa has increasingly grown unusual. The residents of Östersunds are referred to as östersundare, though local ruralists call them stassbon towners, and stassbo towner, in singular. Landmarks The most well known landmark of Östersund is the national romantic Östersund City Hall Östersunds rådhus. It is 51 meters tall and contains 136 rooms. It is the greatest constructional symbol of the National Romantic architecture in Östersund. The city hall looks almost like a fortress and affiliates especially to the local art of Jämtland. The bell tower is of typical Jamtish design shaped like an onion, the local sculpture Olof Ahlberg 1876-1956 made most of the sculpture details and the ornaments are made from Jamtish limestone. Östersund City Hall was designed by Frans Bertil Wallberg 1862-1935 and was seen by contemporary colleagues as the best of modern Swedish architecture. The main part of the building is accentuated by a grand tower and a monumental stairway. It is accompanied by only one wing, the north wing, as the second, south wing, was torn down in the 1970s. A recently built landmark is Arctura, named after Jämtland's provincial star Arcturus, a large hot water accumulator tank. Due to its appearance it is referred to as Termosen Thermos. At night the 65 meter building is illuminated with various lights like sunrise and the Aurora Borealis. History Lake Storsjön's shores have long been inhabited. Though the area where Östersund is situated was for a very long time Frösön's link to the east mainland. Frösön, the island of the Norse god Freyr, was originally the centre of the region and it was here the only inland Scandinavian hill fort, Mjälleborgen, was built around 300 AD. The ancient Scandinavian thing Jamtamót was held on this island, the christening of Jämtland begun here and it was here the World's northern-most raised runestone, Frösö Runestone, was risen. Plans regarding the foundation of a Swedish city or köping market town, Chipping in Jämtland existed among governmental officials already after the previously Norwegian province was ceded from Denmark-Norway in 1645. Queen Christina demanded the establishment of a sconce on Andersön shortly after the province became Swedish, this sconce would together with Frösö sconce secure the Swedish control over Jämtland. Christina's intention was to locate the Jamts' city within this fortification. In order to construct the sconce the local inhabitants were coerced into forced labour 1651 but after protests and lack of capital the project was ended in 1654. In 1758, the plans were brought back up through an initiative from the chief financial officer Pehr Schissler and the proposition did however initiate a new debate whether or not a city was to be established in Jämtland, in order to counteract the trading and faring traditions of Jämtland's farmers. Several other attempts at constraition had previously been taken, and deemed unsatisfactory. Östersund was founded and given its charter by Monarch Gustav III of Sweden on 23 October 1786, shortly after the outskirt of the Odensala farmers' lands were bought for the purpose. Several other places had been suggested, like Huså the then-largest settlement in Jämtland along with Krokom, Sunne and Ede outside of Brunflo. Frösön was also a candidate but the lot fell on Östersund, as it was deemed most favourable. The only thing actually located in the area at the time was the main road and the bridge to Frösön. Östersund was upon foundation freed from taxes during a 20-year timespan and completely liberated from trade regulations and guild order. In other remote locations of the Nordic region, similar cities were founded, like Reykjavík in Iceland the very same year, Tromsø 1794 in Northern Norway and Tampere 1775 and Kuopio 1782 in the Finnish inland. Östersund is however the only city in present-day Sweden to have been founded in the 18th century. The city developed poorly and had to struggle in its infancy. The State tried to pursue the Jamtish traders on Frösön to migrate to the new city but they had no intentions of leaving such a rich parish with fertile soils Frösön consisted of in favour of the swamp and marches across the strait. During its first 50 years the city's population only grew on average with eight people per year. The city did become the capital of the newly founded county consisting of the provinces Jämtland and Härjedalen in 1810, meaning that a county residence was built and a county administrative board was located to the city. Though Östersund remained as a de facto village with less than 400 inhabitants in 1820. An upswing occurred in the 1850s, as trade was liberalized and the logging industry developed. It took until the construction of the railroad in 1879 before Östersund became a real city and actually gained the status as Jämtland's centre, at Frösön's expense. Thanks to the farmer chieftain Nils Larson i Tullus the railroad came to pass through the city itself instead of outside it, as planned. The railway from coast to coast across the then union between Sweden and Norway was finished in 1882, connecting Östersund closer to Trondheim and Sundsvall. Östersund then came to grow faster than any other Swedish city. After ten years it had passed 20 Swedish cities in population. The city attracted immigrants, a slight majority from the Jamtish countryside, though still with a high number of settlers from southern Sweden. While Östersund was in its most intense state of growth popular movements emerged among the inhabitants. In Jämtland and Härjedalen the Good Templar movement a part of the temperance movement came to dominate completely. In 1883, 700 of the city's total population of 3,000 were organized Good Templars. The greatest symbol of the movements grandeur was the Order House constructed 1885 in the city, Östersunds-Goodtemplars-Ordenshus. When one of the most prominent leaders, Joseph Malins, visited the city he announced that it was the world's largest order house. Many of the leading people behind the popular movements in Östersund saw industrialization as a significant threat towards the native districts and the old village and farmer community. The work from the movements made the city and its centre-right governance extremely rejective towards industries. Instead they wanted to portray Östersund as a centre of outdoor activities, culture, education and tourism. Industries were not allowed to threaten the good environment, and the social history traditions. In 1917 when the Great War was fought on the continent and with the February revolution in Russia, starting the Russian Revolution also affected Östersund. Rationing led to lack of supplies and a revolution was feared. Some of the citizens, primarily soldiers, went on hunger strikes and at the first of May that year 4,000 demonstrators gathered in front of the city hall demanding lower prices on milk and wood. The year after the Spanish flu spread like wildfire across the world. The city doctor in Östersund noted that Östersund ought without objection have been more haunted by the flu than any other Swedish city, which is why Östersund was referred to by locals as spanska sjukans huvudstad, capital of the spanish flu. Despite the great depression and several crisis resulting in a very high unemployment rate Östersund continued to grow in the interwar period. In 1918 the Odenslund area was incorporated. The business sector remained largely unaffected and Östersund continued being one of the least industrialized cities in Sweden. Instead Östersund continued to focus on wholesale trade and became a centre of this in northern and north central Sweden. The city's central position was strengthened when the Inlandsbanan railway was constructed through Jämtland from the north to the south. The first scheduled bus route was created in the 1920s between Östersund and the nearby town of Brunflo. In the next decade well over 40 bus routes were functioning in Östersund. The dairy was located west of the bus square, Gustav III:s torg, at the shopping mall Kärnan's current whereabout. This square naturally become a central part of the city. Östersund continued to grow after the Second World War. Lugnvik was incorporated into the city in 1954 and Östersund was just like the rest of Jämtland affected by the Rehn-Meidner-model, though not in the same way. The Swedish Keynesian politics was launched in order to improve the mobility of the labour force. Jämtland was struck hard by this when the people moved from the countryside to cities, from inland to coast and from the north to the south. As an urban area Östersund was affected by the Million Programme and urban districts like Körfältet were created. The negative view towards industries were changed when the Social Democrats came to power for the first time in the city's history in 1952. Industries were enticed to Östersund through the national localization politic and industrial areas were created in Odenskog and Lugnvik. The development was not, as already mentioned, as good in the rest of Jämtland as it was in Östersund and as a counter act towards the governmental politic the Republic of Jamtland was established in 1963. Östersund became the republic's capital and the home to the freedom festival Storsjöyran. Östersund continued to grow and in 1970 Frösö köping was made part of Östersund. In the year of 1971 a major reform occurred in Sweden creating large municipalities replacing all the older institutions and the new large municipality was named after the city. Just like in the rest of Sweden the public sector greatly expanded at this time. In 1960 the public sector of Sweden constituted about 30 per cent of Sweden's total gross domestic product, in the middle of the 1980s the number had grown to 65 per cent. At the time it was here the jobs were, in the county board, the government and in the new municipality. The main reasons for the large expansion were the expanded transfer payment to the households that occurred, along with growing interest and public consummation. Everything was financed by heavy tax increases. The entire 1970s was an expansive period. Besides the new industrial complex the Frösö bridge was constructed, a new police house, Z-kupolen burned to the ground in 1989, Storsjöteatern, Folkets hus, urban district churches, malls etc. The County Administration board and the hospital expanded and large housing estates were constructed in Körfältet, Lugnvik and Odensala. The city tried to acquire a humanistic college of higher learning on Frösön already in the 1940s. A large tension existed between the cities in Norrland and Umeå left the struggle victorious in 1962. Östersund however required a social college of higher learning in 1971. Östersund is since 2005 one of the main campus sites of the Mid Sweden University Mittuniversitetet. A number of governmental offices have also been located to the city in recent years. Garrison town Östersund became a garrison town when the Norrland Artillery Regiment A 4 was founded in the city 1892, followed by the upgrading of the Jämtland Ranger Corps to the Jämtland Ranger Regiment I 23. This was done with the growing fear of a Russian assault whereas Jämtland-Trøndelag and Norrbotten became the most prioritized defense-regions. The dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway contributed by enhancing Östersund as a military city and strengthening its presence, the Jämtland Ranger Regiment was located in the city in 1910 and the Jämtland Air Force Wing F 4 came to Frösön in 1926. Östersund's importance as a garrison town grew when the city was connected to the Boden Fortress, following the construction of Inlandsbanan. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the Dissolution of the USSR in 1991 Sweden had lost its national threat and the demand for a strong defense organization was deemed unnecessary. The issue was debated throughout the 1990s and the final decision came in 2004 where all military presence in Östersund was ended. Upon delivering the message the Swedish Minister for Defence Leni Björklund was publicly booed by the city's inhabitants. The ending of Östersund's status as a garrison town has however created a larger enthusiasm regarding the city's future as the private sector has grown larger and more companies are being established, much of which is due to the financial compensation the State offered. The older areas reserved for military activities have been opened up and two more urban districts were made available. Politics and governance Östersund is the capital of Jämtland County and thus, the county governor Britt Bohlin Ohlsson resides in the city. Bohlin Ohlsson is the head of Jämtland County Administrative Board Länsstyrelsen i Jämtlands län, an administrative entity appointed by the Swedish Government. Östersund is also the seat of Jämtland County Council Jämtlands läns landsting. The County Council is the elected assembly of Jämtland County. The County Council's responsibilities lie primarily within the public health care system and transportation between the municipalities. Östersund is the seat of Östersund Municipality Östersunds kommun. The legislative body of the municipality is the 67-member municipal assembly kommunfullmäktige, elected by proportional representation for a four-year term. The assembly appoints the municipality's main governing body, the 15-member executive committee kommunstyrelsen. The executive committee is headed by the Mayor kommunstyrelsens ordförande. Östersund has historically been dominated by the Conservatives, the freeminded later on Liberal People's Party and the Social Democrats. Though contrary to Sweden on a national level Östersund's centre-right parties long remained in majority. The situation changed only in 1952 when the social democrats were included and they won an absolute majority in 1962. In 1966 the agririan and rural Centre Party entered the scene, along with the minor Christian Democrat and Communist parties. A new centre-right municipal government was appointed and the Centre Party became the largest party in that coalition 1970. However, since the 1980s the Social Democratic Party has been in power excluding a term in the 1990s supported by the communists now Left Party and occasionally the Green Party entered in 1982. Jens Nilsson from the Social Democratic Party is the mayor of Östersund and has been so since 1997. Demography Transport The airport is situated outside the city centre, on the island of Frösön. Åre Östersund Airport previously named Östersunds flygplats is an international airport and the ninth biggest in Sweden with roughly 390,000 passengers in 2005. The airport is one of few Swedish airports with incoming foreign charter traffic and the only one with considerable economic growth in that sector. The European route E14 runs through Östersund from Trondheim to Sundsvall and briefly merges with the European route E45 referred to as Inlandsvägen locally coming from the north. The two roads are later split in Brunflo where E14 continues heading east and E45 turns south again. Östersund has passenger rail services to and from, mainly, Sundsvall and Stockholm. Norrtåg operates Mittbanan from Storlien to Sundsvall. Inlandsbanan runs in the same directions as European Route 45. Östersund is connected to Stockholm via long distance SJ 3000 higher-speed trains, InterCity and night train. There are overnight services to and from Gothenburg and, seasonally, Malmö. Local company Stadsbussarna i Östersund literally: the City Buses in Östersund has nine routes in the city. As Östersund is located at shores of Storsjön, English: the great lake, it also has a harbour. There is also a harbour on the Frösö side of the strait. Several bridges span across Storsjön connecting Östersund with communities nearby, Frösöbron across Östersundet, Vallsundsbron from Frösön across Vallsundet to Annersia the other side and Rödöbron from Frösön to Rödön in Krokom Municipality. Trade and commerce Like the rest of Jämtland Östersund is heavily dominated by many small businesses. The city is the centre of trade and commerce in Jämtland County and has more than 300 shops. The retail trade's turnover is 30 per cent higher than it ought to be, given the number of inhabitants the city has. Trade in the central business district Staden the City is mostly concentrated to the shopping and pedestrian street Prästgatan where large local shopping malls such as Kärnan and Mittpunkten along with department stores such as Åhléns are located. Large clothing companies such as H&M, Lindex and smaller like WESC, approximately 50 restaurants, shoe stores, sporting goods retailers like Stadium and Intersport, several supermarkets Östersund has rather few convenience stores, etc. Storgatan, the street that runs parallel with Prästgatan is also lined with shops, restaurants and coffeehouses. Unlike Prästgatan this street is not a pedestrian street. Östersund is the city in Sweden with the most square metres of window display per capita. The most prominent figure in Östersund's business life throughout the 20th century was the car salesman started out selling horses Sven O. Persson, founder of Persson Invest, Byggelit and Bilbolaget. A significant real estate owner was Maths O. Sundqvist 19502012. Östersund has had a long history as a marketplace with the already mentioned ancient Gregorie market, tracing its lineage back to the 11th century, held in early March. However banned in 1914, it continued to be held a couple of years. In 1950, the market was reborn shortly and was completely resurrected in 1986, when the city celebrated its 200th anniversary, and has been held yearly since then. In 1948, when the markets were non-existent visions to restore Östersund's market traditions, in a modern version, were brought up. The result was the trade fair Expo Norr, initiated 1950 in order to strengthen Östersund as a leading centre of trade in the northern parts of Sweden. The trade fair is an annual event just like Gregorie market, though Expo Norr is held during the summer and not during the winter. Expo Norr is usually attended by 30,000 individuals every year. Just like many other County capitals in Sweden the County Council and the Municipality are among the largest employers. Besides trading and public services Östersund has some larger companies such as Solectron, Cybercom, Volex, Husqvarna AB, Swedbank's telephone bank and Telia. Companies such as the dairy cooperation Milko and Inlandsbanan AB have located their corporate headquarters in the city. A national survey done by the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise shows that out of every company in Östersund Municipality 52 per cent are very positive towards globalization, thus ranking Östersund at number eight in Sweden as the most globalization-friendly municipality 2008.

The county library, Jämtlands läns bibliotek is located in the city. It is the oldest county library in Sweden, being founded in 1816 by the will of professor Carl Zetterström. As the library grew it was moved to a bigger facility. The older building is now situated beside the old church in Kyrkparken. Lake Storsjön has been trafficked for a long time and the steamships S/S Thomée and S/S Östersund are still in operation every summer. Unlike most boats, they are seen as male and not female. S/S Thomée is the only one that sets sail from Östersund's harbour. S/S Östersund sails from Arvesund, located at Storsjön's western shore but makes visits to Jamtli's steamboat jetty.

The Type 81 is a self-propelled 122 mm multiple rocket launcher SPMRL produced by the People's Republic of China for the People's Liberation Army Ground Force. It is a variant of the Soviet BM-21 Grad. The Type 81 was the first in a family of Chinese self-propelled 122 mm rocket launchers. The spin-stabilized rocket fired by the Type 81 may be armed with a high explosive warhead or a steel fragmentation warhead. Variants Type 81 The Type 81 mounts a 40-round launcher on an OQ261 Honyan 6X6 truck chassis. Type 83 The Type 83 mounts a 24-round launcher on a 6x6 truck chassis. Type 89 The Type 89 mounts a 40-round launcher on the armoured tracked chassis of the Type 83 self-propelled gun. The rockets may be fired in 20 seconds. The launcher is mounted at the rear with a reload pack in front. Type 90 The Type 90 mounts a 40-round launcher on a Tiema SC2030 6X6 truck. The truck also carries a reload pack of 40 additional rockets; the launcher to be reloaded within 3 minutes. Type 90A The Type 90A is an upgrade of the Type 90. The 40-round launcher is mounted on a Tienna XC2200 6×6 truck, has improved fire control, and a battery may be remotely controlled by a command vehicle. It is manufactured by Norinco. Type 90B The Type 90B is an upgrade of the Type 90A. The 40-round launchers are mounted on a Beifang Benchi 2629 6×6 trucks. The system adds WZ551 reconnaissance vehicles, and the command vehicle has improved command and fire control systems. PR50 SPMRL Latest version of the series, with fire power increased by 25 to 50 round from the original 40 rounds. Incorporate features of WS SPMRL series so that the operating cost and overall life cycle cost for both. Also incorporated is a feature originated in Type 90B, which is the adoption of rockets of different ranges, so PR50 has a wide range of 20 km to 40 km. The Chinese name for PR50 SPMRL is Sha Chen Bao 沙尘暴, meaning Sandstorm, and the system made its public debut in 2006 at the 6th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition. SR-4 Development of the Type 81, featuring 40 tubes arranged into two pods. The range is 50 km. SR-5 SR-5 MRL is a self-propelled MLS which first made its public debut in 2012 Eurosatory, similar to the HIMARS. SR-5 is a fully computerized and digitized system with modular design concept to enable both the 122 mm rocket series and 220 mm rocket series to be adopted on a single chassis, using the same fire control and support systems, hence greatly reduces the operational cost. The SR-5 has been exported to Algeria, Bahrain and Venezuela. SR-7 The SR-7 is a scaled-down variant, with either one pod of twenty 122 mm rockets or six 220 mm rockets. The maximum range is 50 km for the 122 mm rocket and 70 km for the 220 mm rocket.

The Test Case is a 2017 Hindi web series, directed by Vinay Waikul and Nagesh Kukunoor and produced by Endemol Shine India for the ALTBalaji app. It stars Nimrat Kaur, Akshay Oberoi, Atul Kulkarni, Rahul Dev and Anup Soni in lead roles along with Juhi Chawla in a guest appearance. The web series is about the main character training to be the first woman test case in a combat role, within the Indian Army. Plot Protagonist Captain Shikha Sharma Nimrat Kaur is the only woman in a group of Indian Army officers training to join the Special forces. She is also the first woman to be undertaking the course making her a test case for inducting women into combat oriented roles in the Indian army. The storyline revolves around her journey of overcoming challenges at home to biases by her colleagues despite being an intelligent and a highly motivated individual. Shikha initially faces physical challenges when completing a demanding obstacle course. But she perseveres and overcomes them with grit. This results in making both friends and enemies among her colleagues. She manages to not only remain in the course but also moves up to the top-half of the team's leaderboard. During the final phase of training, which is in the form of a simulated sortie into harsh enemy territory spanning multiple days, Shikha is placed in command of one of the two competing squads in an effort to test her leadership skills. The exercise ends in disaster with the squad losing contact with the course instructors for a prolonged period of time. The squad eventually makes it back with Shikha and Captain Bilal Akshay Oberoi suffering severe injuries and unconscious. A medical examination reveals that Shikha's injuries were not as a result of combat injuries. But a follow-up interrogation by the lead course instructor Naib Subedar Kirpal Bhatti Rahul Dev and the course commanding officer Colonel Ajinkya Sathe Atul Kulkarni has Shikha and the members of her squad insisting that nothing untoward happened and the injuries were as a result of an accident. In the meanwhile, an anonymous letter is sent to the Army command alleging that Shikha was sexually assaulted during the exercise. Lieutenant Colonel Imtiaz Hussain Anup Soni, a poker aficionado, is dispatched to investigate quickly and quietly. Using a series of unconventional tactics Major Hussain ultimately manages to piece together the sequence of events and identify the culprit. But Shikha refuses to press charges saying she wants to solve this problem without anyone else helping her. She explains to Hussain that she wants to set a clear example that women are not only just capable of joining combat units but also equally capable of defending themselves without help. She ultimately manages to get Captain Manit Varma Suhail Nayyar to confess while covertly recording his confession; And also manages to defeat him in one on one close quarter combat. He is ultimately arrested and led away by the Army police. The story ends on a happy note with Shikha graduating top of the training course.

In the Java computer programming language, an annotation is a form of syntactic metadata that can be added to Java source code. Classes, methods, variables, parameters and Java packages may be annotated. Like Javadoc tags, Java annotations can be read from source files. Unlike Javadoc tags, Java annotations can also be embedded in and read from Java class files generated by the Java compiler. This allows annotations to be retained by the Java virtual machine at run-time and read via reflection. It is possible to create meta-annotations out of the existing ones in Java. History The Java platform has various ad-hoc annotation mechanismsfor example, the transient modifier, or the @deprecated javadoc tag. The Java Specification Request JSR-175 introduced the general-purpose annotation also known as metadata facility to the Java Community Process in 2002; it gained approval in September 2004. Annotations became available in the language itself beginning with version 1.5 of the Java Development Kit JDK. The apt tool provided a provisional interface for compile-time annotation processing in JDK version 1.5; JSR-269 formalized this, and it became integrated into the javac compiler in version 1.6. Built-in annotations Java defines a set of annotations that are built into the language. Of the seven standard annotations, three are part of java.lang, and the remaining four are imported from java.lang.annotation. Annotations applied to Java code: @Override - Checks that the method is an override. Causes a compilation error if the method is not found in one of the parent classes or implemented interfaces. @Deprecated - Marks the method as obsolete. Causes a compile warning if the method is used. @SuppressWarnings - Instructs the compiler to suppress the compile time warnings specified in the annotation parameters. Annotations applied to other annotations also known as Meta Annotations: @Retention - Specifies how the marked annotation is stored, whether in code only, compiled into the class, or available at runtime through reflection. @Documented - Marks another annotation for inclusion in the documentation. @Target - Marks another annotation to restrict what kind of Java elements the annotation may be applied to. @Inherited - Marks another annotation to be inherited to subclasses of annotated class by default annotations are not inherited to subclasses. Since Java 7, three additional annotations have been added to the language. @SafeVarargs - Suppress warnings for all callers of a method or constructor with a generics varargs parameter, since Java 7. @FunctionalInterface - Specifies that the type declaration is intended to be a functional interface, since Java 8. @Repeatable - Specifies that the annotation can be applied more than once to the same declaration, since Java 8. Example Built-in annotations This example demonstrates the use of the @Override annotation. It instructs the compiler to check parent classes for matching methods. In this case, an error is generated because the gettype method of class Cat doesn't in fact override getType of class Animal like is desired. If the @Override annotation was absent, a new method of name gettype would be created in class Cat. public class Animal { public void speak { } public String getType { return Generic animal; } } public class Cat extends Animal { @Override public void speak { // This is a good override. System.out.printlnMeow.; } @Override public String gettype { // Compile-time error due to typo: should be getType not gettype. return Cat; } } Custom annotations Annotation type declarations are similar to normal interface declarations. An at-sign @ precedes the interface keyword. Each method declaration defines an element of the annotation type. Method declarations must not have any parameters or a throws clause. Return types are restricted to primitives, String, Class, enums, annotations, and arrays of the preceding types. Methods can have default values. // @Twizzle is an annotation to method toggle. @Twizzle public void toggle { } // Declares the annotation Twizzle. public @interface Twizzle { } Annotations may include an optional list of key-value pairs: // Same as: @Ediblevalue = true @Edibletrue Item item = new Carrot; public @interface Edible { boolean value default false; } @Authorfirst = Oompah, last = Loompah Book book = new Book; public @interface Author { String first; String last; } Annotations themselves may be annotated to indicate where and when they can be used: @RetentionRetentionPolicy.RUNTIME // Make this annotation accessible at runtime via reflection. @Target{ElementType.METHOD} // This annotation can only be applied to class methods. public @interface Tweezable { } The compiler reserves a set of special annotations including @Deprecated, @Override and @SuppressWarnings for syntactic purposes. Annotations are often used by frameworks as a way of conveniently applying behaviours to user-defined classes and methods that must otherwise be declared in an external source such as an XML configuration file or programmatically with API calls. The following, for example, is an annotated JPA data class: @Entity // Declares this an entity bean @Tablename = people // Maps the bean to SQL table people public class Person implements Serializable { @Id // Map this to the primary key column. @GeneratedValuestrategy = GenerationType.AUTO // Database will generate new primary keys, not us. private Integer id; @Columnlength = 32 // Truncate column values to 32 characters. private String name; public Integer getId { return id; } public void setIdInteger id { this.id = id; } public String getName { return name; } public void setNameString name { this.name = name; } } The annotations are not method calls and will not, by themselves, do anything. Rather, the class object is passed to the JPA implementation at run-time, which then extracts the annotations to generate an object-relational mapping. A complete example is given below: package com.annotation; import java.lang.annotation.Documented; import java.lang.annotation.ElementType; import java.lang.annotation.Inherited; import java.lang.annotation.Retention; import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy; import java.lang.annotation.Target; @Documented @RetentionRetentionPolicy.RUNTIME @Target{ElementType.TYPE,ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR,ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE, ElementType.PACKAGE,ElementType.FIELD,ElementType.LOCAL_VARIABLE} @Inherited public @interface Unfinished { public enum Priority { LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH } String value; String[] changedBy default ; String[] lastChangedBy default ; Priority priority default Priority.MEDIUM; String createdBy default James Gosling; String lastChanged default 2011-07-08; } package com.annotation; public @interface UnderConstruction { String owner default Patrick Naughton; String value default Object is Under Construction.; String createdBy default Mike Sheridan; String lastChanged default 2011-07-08; } package com.validators; import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage; import javax.faces.component.UIComponent; import javax.faces.context.FacesContext; import javax.faces.validator.Validator; import javax.faces.validator.ValidatorException; import com.annotation.UnderConstruction; import com.annotation.Unfinished; import com.annotation.Unfinished.Priority; import com.util.Util; @UnderConstructionowner=Jon Doe public class DateValidator implements Validator { public void validateFacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value throws ValidatorException { String date = String value; String errorLabel = Please enter a valid date.; if !component.getAttributes.isEmpty { errorLabel = String component.getAttributes.geterrordisplayval; } if !Util.validateAGivenDatedate { @UnfinishedchangedBy = Steve, value = whether to add message to context or not, confirm, priority = Priority.HIGH FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage; message.setSeverityFacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR; message.setSummaryerrorLabel; message.setDetailerrorLabel; throw new ValidatorExceptionmessage; } } } Processing When Java source code is compiled, annotations can be processed by compiler plug-ins called annotation processors. Processors can produce informational messages or create additional Java source files or resources, which in turn may be compiled and processed. However, annotation processors cannot modify the annotated code itself. Code modifications may be implemented using methods beyond the Java Language Specification. The Java compiler conditionally stores annotation metadata in the class files, if the annotation has a RetentionPolicy of CLASS or RUNTIME. Later, the JVM or other programs can look for the metadata to determine how to interact with the program elements or change their behavior. In addition to processing an annotation using an annotation processor, a Java programmer can write their own code that uses reflections to process the annotation. Java SE 5 supports a new interface that is defined in the java.lang.reflect package. This package contains the interface called AnnotatedElement that is implemented by the Java reflection classes including Class, Constructor, Field, Method, and Package. The implementations of this interface are used to represent an annotated element of the program currently running in the Java Virtual Machine. This interface allows annotations to be read reflectively. The AnnotatedElement interface provides access to annotations having RUNTIME retention. This access is provided by the getAnnotation, getAnnotations, and isAnnotationPresent methods. Because annotation types are compiled and stored in byte code files just like classes, the annotations returned by these methods can be queried just like any regular Java object. A complete example of processing an annotation is provided below: import java.lang.annotation.Retention; import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy; // This is the annotation to be processed // Default for Target is all Java Elements // Change retention policy to RUNTIME default is CLASS @RetentionRetentionPolicy.RUNTIME public @interface TypeHeader { // Default value specified for developer attribute String developer default Unknown; String lastModified; String [] teamMembers; int meaningOfLife; } // This is the annotation being applied to a class @TypeHeaderdeveloper = Bob Bee, lastModified = 2013-02-12, teamMembers = { Ann, Dan, Fran }, meaningOfLife = 42 public class SetCustomAnnotation { // Class contents go here } // This is the example code that processes the annotation import java.lang.annotation.Annotation; import java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement; public class UseCustomAnnotation { public static void mainString [] args { Class<SetCustomAnnotation> classObject = SetCustomAnnotation.class; readAnnotationclassObject; } static void readAnnotationAnnotatedElement element { try { System.out.printlnAnnotation element values: \n; if element.isAnnotationPresentTypeHeader.class { // getAnnotation returns Annotation type Annotation singleAnnotation = element.getAnnotationTypeHeader.class; TypeHeader header = TypeHeader singleAnnotation; System.out.printlnDeveloper: + header.developer; System.out.printlnLast Modified: + header.lastModified; // teamMembers returned as String [] System.out.printTeam members: ; for String member : header.teamMembers System.out.printmember + , ; System.out.print\n; System.out.printlnMeaning of Life: + header.meaningOfLife; } } catch Exception exception { exception.printStackTrace; } } } Usage in the wild Researchers have studied the usage of Java annotations over 1,094 notable open-source Java projects hosted on GitHub. They found that annotations are actively maintained, with many annotations being added, but also changed or removed because of bugs in the annotation type or values. Overall, this study finds that there exists a small but significant relationship between annotation usage and code error-proneness: Java code with annotations tends to be less error-prone.

Sleepwalking is the fifth studio album by Gerry Rafferty, released in 1982. It is the follow-up to the 1980 album Snakes and Ladders. It would be Rafferty's last album for Liberty/United Artists, and his last for six years. Sleepwalking was co-produced by Rafferty and Christopher Neil who went on to become the producer for Mike + The Mechanics. Unlike the previous Rafferty albums such as City to City and Night Owl there is considerable use of synthesisers and drum programming, some of the latter done by Christopher Neil, along with contributions from British session musicians including Hugh Burns, Mo Foster, Liam Genockey, Kenny Craddock, Maurice Pert and Mel Collins. Some tracks also feature members of Dire Straits, keyboardist Alan Clark and drummer Pick Withers; the following year, Rafferty would provide vocals for Dire Straits leader Mark Knopfler's soundtrack to the film Local Hero. The album was reissued as a 2-CD set with Snakes and Ladders by EMI in August 2012. The track The Right Moment from this album was later recorded by Olivia Newton-John in 1985 for her Soul Kiss album.

The Girl Guides Association of Zimbabwe GGAZ is the national Guiding organisation of Zimbabwe. It serves 15,267 members as of 2003. Founded in 1912, the girls-only organisation became a full member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts as the Girl Guides Association of Rhodesia in 1969. The Wayfarers, a sort of Guiding for native African girls began in 1926 after a visit to the colony by Olave Baden-Powell. In 1935 there were some 600 Wayfarers and 300 Sunbeams, the African equivalent of Brownies in Guiding. In 1940, the two movements started to merge; this process was completed in 1950. The name of the association changed in 1981 from the Girl Guides Association of Rhodesia to the Girl Guides Association of Zimbabwe. Programme The programme of the Girl Guides Association of Zimbabwe caters for girls from 5 to 21 years of age. Sunbeams - ages 5 to 7 Brownies - ages 7 to 10 Guides - ages 10 to 16 Rangers - ages 14 to 21 There is also a group of Young Leaders Flame Rangers of young women who are not affiliated to any Unit or help in leadership from 17 to 30 years of Age Ideals Guide promise English version: I promise that I will do my best To do my duty to God To serve my country and other people And to keep the Guide Law See also The Boy Scouts Association of Zimbabwe Category:World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts member organizations Category:Scouting and Guiding in Zimbabwe Category:Youth organizations established in 1912 Category:1912 establishments in Southern Rhodesia

Para Draine born December 28, 1972 is an American female boxer who has been a world champion two times. She is a former 112 pounds and current 115 pound champion. Draine stands 5 feet eight inches 68 inches tall, making her relatively tall for a boxer of her weight. Draine's nicknames are Hurricane and The Spokane Spike. The latter nickname reflects the city she currently resides at. Draine has fought a large part of her fights in the American Northwest, specially in Worley, Idaho, but, because of her achievements, she has become well known in the world of boxing. Her first professional fight came on May 14, 1997, when she defeated Dolores Lira by a four round decision, at Worley. Her first knockout win was on June 25 of that same year, when she beat Trena Drotar in the fourth round. Draine won her first five fights. After she beat the experienced Sue Chase in her fifth fight, she and her management team thought she was ready for a world title try, so, on November 12, she challenged Theresa Arnold for the IBA's women's version of the world Bantamweight title. She lost that fight by a ten round split decision. Draine then decided to go down in weight and try to become a world Flyweight champion. After two wins, including one over the famed British boxer Michelle Sutcliffe, she challenged the WIBF world Flyweight champion, Yvonne Trevino. On August 8, 1998 at Spirit Lake, North Dakota, Draine became a world champion by beating Trevino by a ten round split decision. She is a boxer who often jumps from one division to another, so she returned to the Bantamweight division. Despite losing her next fight, she got a world title try in her first fight at as a Super Bantamweight: On April 18, 1999, she and Silke Weikenmeyer fought for the vacant WIBF Super Bantamweight title. In what was Draine's first overseas fight, she lost a ten round decision in Germany. Next, she beat two well known opponents, Jo Wyman and Brenda Burnside, before once again returning to the Flyweight division, to make her first title defense: on April 6, 2000, she lost her title to the then 8-0 Margaret Sidoriff, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Draine kept fighting well known female boxers after losing that fight: she beat Robin Pinto, lost to Yvonne Caples, drew tied with Marylin Salcedo, and beat Bridgett Riley before receiving another world title shot. On December 18, 2002, she and Salcedo were rematched, with the vacant IFBA world Super Flyweight title on the line. Draine became world Super Flyweight champion by defeating Salcedo with a split decision. Draine has had one more fight after that, but she remains, on record anyway, active as a professional boxer. Her career record is of 13 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw, with two knockout wins.

Olgivanna Lloyd Wright December 27, 1898 March 1, 1985 was the third and final wife of Frank Lloyd Wright and had significant influence in his life and work, due in part to her extensive Theosophical associations. She was a serbian dancer. While her language, cultural background and upbringing were almost exotically alien to his own, she was critical in introducing Wright to Greek-Armenian mystic George Gurdjieff, a man whom he alternately despised and admired. She is a principal character in T. C. Boyle's 2009 novel The Women. Biography She was born as Olga Ivanovna Olgivanna Lazović in Montenegro on December 27, 1898, to Ivan Lazović and Milica Miljanov, daughter of the famous Montenegrin writer, duke and leader of the Kuči tribe Marko Miljanov. A long-time pupil and devotee of G. I. Gurdjieff even after her involvement with Wright, she was also a nurse to Katherine Mansfield on her deathbed at Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man at the Prieuré des Basses Loges on January 9, 1923. She had begun her career with Gurdjieff as a student of sacred dance, which she later mastered, and taught to students of her own including Diana Huebert. She was married first to Vlademar Hinzenberg, a Russian architect. Wright and Olgivanna married August 1928 in Rancho Santa Fe, California, and honeymooned in Phoenix, Arizona. According to architectural writer Walt Lockley, The Foundation and the Fellowship would not exist in any form if Wright had not gone to the opera with a friend one Sunday afternoon in 1924 Chicago and sat near to the dark-haired Montenegrin dancer. Olgivanna continued to run Wright's Taliesin Fellowship long after his death, from April 9, 1959, until her own death in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1985. The last quarter-century of Wright's lifehis Arizona years with Olgivanna, from 1932 to 1959were arguably his most productive, representing more than half of [Wright's] building and including the authorship of his autobiography. Embroiled in scandal and controversy from the beginning of their relationship since both were married at its start, Olgivanna's legacy extended past her natural life. She had planned the removal of Wright's body from its Wisconsin grave, which was then cremated, mixed with her ashes and used in the walls of a memorial garden to be built on the grounds of their home at Taliesin West. The Wisconsin legislature prohibited this move, but nonetheless her plan was carried out successfully: When Robert Llewellyn Wrightthe son who 26 years earlier had driven through the night to return Frank Lloyd Wright's body to Wisconsin after Wright died at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenixobjected to the desecration, Iovanna sent him a terse telegram: The heritage of Taliesin is not for the likes of you. Iovanna Lloyd Wright 19252015 was Olgivanna's only child with Wright. Olgivanna's only other daughter, Svetlana Hinzenberg, adopted the surname Wright. She married one of Wright's apprentices, Fellowship member William Wesley Wes Peters, when she turned 18 in 1935. Wes helped Wright ward off creditors and bankruptcy. Svetlana Peters died in a car crash in 1946 with her and Wes Peters' youngest son, Daniel, leaving Wes Peters widowed to raise their remaining child, Brandoch b. 1941. In 1970, Olgivanna invited Svetlana Alliluyeva the youngest child and only daughter of Joseph Stalin to Taliesin West, the winter compound of the Taliesin Fellowship. Alliluyeva and Wes Peters married three weeks after they met. After producing with Wes Peters a daughter, Olga, in a marriage that lasted 20 months, Alliluyeva came away with a less than glowing impression of the matriarch and her management of Taliesin: This hierarchical system was appalling: the widow at the top, then the board of directors a formality; then her own close inner circle, making all the real decisions; then working architectsthe real working horses; at the bottom, students who paid high sums to be admitted, only to be sent the next day to work in the kitchen to peel potatoes ... Mrs. Wright's word was law. She had to be adored and worshipped and flattered as often as possible; flowers sent by mail and presented by hand she enjoyed and encouraged. She gave advice to the architects, guided a drama circle, a dance group and a choir, counselling on private lives and relationships, expecting everyone to make personal confessions to her. She was a spiritual leader and self-appointed minister, preaching on Sunday mornings on matters of God and man, when everyone was supposed to be in her large living room.

Evangelism Explosion EE is a Christian evangelistic ministry and training program. History Evangelism Explosion was started in 1962 by D. James Kennedy, senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. Evangelism Explosion became an incorporated organization in 1972. In 1997, Evangelism Explosion published the results of a study which shows that the method was viewed as confrontational evangelism. As a result of this, Evangelism Explosion announced that it was changing its approach to emphasize relationship-building and discipling new believers. Evangelism Explosion has been published in a number of different forms, including Kids' EE, Seniors' EE, Deaf EE, and XEE. The latter is designed especially for members of Generations X and Y. Content Evangelism Explosion is best known for its two diagnostic questions that users can ask non-Christians as a means of determining a person's spiritual health, and of stimulating an evangelistic conversation: Have you come to the place in your spiritual life where you can say you know for certain that if you were to die today you would go to heaven? Suppose that you were to die today and stand before God and he were to say to you, Why should I let you into my heaven? what would you say? After the diagnostic questions, the evangelist is encouraged to explain the gospel in terms of grace, man, God, Christ, and faith. Use Evangelism Explosion's materials have been translated into seventy languages. Jeff Noblit suggests that it is probably the most used and copied soul-winning training course ever embraced by Southern Baptists, while Stan Guthrie suggests that it is the best known and most widely used evangelistic training curriculum in church history. It is used by over 20,000 churches worldwide. Evangelism Explosion officials claim that millions of people have come to Christ using the program. In 2011, 324,000 people worldwide were trained in the program, while over 7.25 million people reportedly made a profession of faith as a result of its use. Five years later, the organization claimed 10.7 million people professed faith in Christ in 2016. The spread of Evangelism Explosion materials have been remarkable as it has covered almost every continent and every island across the globe from the founding church in Florida to as far as the Fiji Islands. Evaluation David L. Larsen suggests that Evangelism Explosion has brought a quickening of the evangelistic pulse, and has provided a most helpful and practical vehicle for witness. Larsen notes, however, that not everyone is comfortable with its more vigorous 'button-holing'. In a study done among non-Christian Thai people, all of them spoke negatively about the witnessing approach of EE. One respondent said, I would be upset. It is ridiculous and strange. I do not know who will die first, the interrogator or me. I would simply walk away. I do not want anyone to talk about death. It is a depressive issue.

Whistle-Binkie, or, The piper of the party: Being a collection of songs for the social circle was a Scottish poetry and song anthology first appearing in 1832. There were later volumes under the same title, at least four more anthologies, and collected editions appearing from 1853. The style of verse typically was in imitation of Robert Burns. The series was enduringly popular, and the final Whistle Binkie anthology appeared in 1890. While the intention at the time was to publish Scottish writers, later critics such as Edwin Morgan have attacked the series on grounds of taste. Alexander Laing saw in it sentiment, mild pathos and sly humour writing in 1857; by a century later Hugh MacDiarmid could regard it as opening the way for children to be given sentimental trash. First edition Whistle Binkie was published in 1832 by David Robertson, a bookseller in Trongate, Glasgow. The editor was John Donald Carrick, who also contributed to the collection.

The A405 is a dual carriageway road in Hertfordshire, England. At present, it is 4.8 miles 7.7 km long and runs from the A41 at Leavesden Green, near Watford, to the A414 at Park Street Roundabout near St Albans. Present route The A405 starts at a grade-separated roundabout junction with the A41 at Leavesden Green. From here, it travels northeast to a crossing with Sheepcot Lane at Woodside, then east to a traffic light junction with the A412 near Garston. This 1.4-mile 2.2-km section is known as Kingsway. From the A412, the A405 travels north, past West Hertfordshire Crematorium and Penfold Park Golf Course, to junction 6 of the M1 at Waterdale 2.3 miles, 3.7 km. It then veers northeast, passing the village of Bricket Wood, before meeting the M25 at junction 21a 3.1 miles, 5 km. Drivers wishing to access the M25 from the M1 northbound, or the M1 southbound from the M25, must use this section of the A405 as the junction between the two motorways, known as Chiswell Interchange, does not feature the corresponding slip roads. After the M25, the A405 continues northeast, with a roundabout junction with the B4630 for Chiswell Green 3.6 miles, 5.8 km, then another with Tippendell Lane for How Wood 4.2 miles, 6.8 km. The road terminates at Park Street Roundabout, a junction with the A414 and the A5183 formerly part of the A5; until 2009 this was junction 1 of the M10. Earlier route The A405 originally took up a greater proportion of the North Orbital Road. From Park Street Roundabout, it travelled east, crossing the River Ver and the Midland Main Line before meeting the A6 now the A1081 at London Colney. It then veered northeast, past Colney Heath, before ending at the A1 near Hatfield. This gave it a total length of 9.7 miles 15.6 km. In the mid-1970s, the A405 was extended from Leavesden Green. This extension ran concurrently with the A41 to Hunton Bridge, then continued westwards over the River Gade and past the hamlet of Chandler's Cross. It then veered south to pass between Rickmansworth and Chorleywood, crossing the River Chess, the A404 with which it had a grade-separated junction and the London to Aylesbury and London Underground Metropolitan lines. It ended just north of Maple Cross, at the A412, on which the North Orbital Road continued south to Denham in Buckinghamshire. This took the length of the A405 to 16.3 miles 26.2 km. Almost all of this extension was incorporated into the M25 in the mid-1980s, as the section between junction 17 and the spur at junction 19 the aforementioned junction with the A404 becoming junction 18. At around the same time, the section of the A405 east of Park Street Roundabout was re-designated as part of the A414 the original St AlbansHatfield section of that road becoming the A1057, though it continues to be called the North Orbital Road.

Alderstrøst refers to two residential complexes built by Association of Craftsmen in Copenhagen to provide affordable housing for elderly, indigent members and their widows in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. The oldest is located on Nørrebrogade Nørrebrogade 17, Baggesensgade 10 and Blågårdsgade 9. The other one is located at the corner of Nørre Allé No. 1519 and Møllegade No. 2830. The Nørreborgade complex is no longer owned by Håndværkerforeningen. History Creating the foundation On a board meeting in 1852, the idea was conceived for a collection lottery which was to raise funds for the construction of affordable housing for elderly craftsmen in Copenhagen but the lottery was not approved by the authorities until 1857. The Alderstrøst Foundation was established by in 1862.Other contributuins came from gifts and grants. Alderstrøst in Nørrebrogade An 11,606 square alen 4,180 m2 site on Nørrebrogade was acquired the architect Theodor Sørensen, who had recently completed St. John's Church, Nørrebro's first church, was charged with the design of the first residences. The building was completed in 1863. It was expanded with a new wing on Baggesengade and a connecting building in 187071. The complex was expanded again in 1870 when a new wing was built on Blågårdsgade. All the buildings are in four or five storeys and the complex originally contained 194 homes. Alderstrøst in Nørre Allé A new, 15,848 square alen 5,708 m2 site was acquired on the corner of Møllegade and Nørre Allé in 1892. The side on Nørre Allé flanked Bræstrups Stiftelse, anothercharitable housing complex. The new building was designed by Thorvald Sørensen, Theodor Sørensen's son. The foundation stone for the new building was set on 16 January 1893 and it was completed in 1895. The complex consisted of a main wing on Møllegade, both of which in five storeys, and twofour-storey buildings on Nørre Allé. At the time of its inauguration, the complex contained 35 free residences and 226 residences with low rent. Im 1937-38, Håndforeningen purchased Bræstrups Stiftelse at Nørre Allé 17. The building was demolished and replaced by a new building designed by Henning Hansen. It is designed in a restrained, Functionalist style with horrisontal lines in the brickwork and with use of building materials similar to those of the older buildings. Later initiative In 1936, Haandværkerforeningen launched an architectural competition for a third Alderstrøst in Emdrup. The competition was won by Henning Hansen but the complex was instead given the name Håndværkerhaven The Craftsman Garden. Today The complex is no longer owned by Håndværkerforeningen but is now a section of FSBbolig. The complex on Nørre Allé was refurbished for DKK 22+ millions between 2003 and 2008 by AI-gruppen A/S and MT Højgaard. The compklex now contains 156 apartments.

The São Julião Lighthouse is located in the fort of the same name, which is the largest sea defence structure in Portugal and is situated on a headland on the north bank of the River Tagus estuary in Oeiras, Lisbon District. It is a square masonry tower and the lantern is painted white, with a red dome. History The fort of São Julião da Barra was constructed primarily for defence and follows an irregular pentagonal design. Today it is the national headquarters of the Ministry of National Defence and official residence of the Minister. In 1758 orders were given to build a lighthouse in the fort. However, it is possible that an earlier lighthouse had existed from 1553 but that it was destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The work initially involved building a stone lantern in 1761 but in 1775 an Argand lamp with a parabolic reflector was installed. Between 1848 and 1865 modernization work was carried out and a 4th Order Fresnel lens was installed, producing a fixed white light, fuelled with gas distilled from wood. From 1880 the lighting was obtained from petroleum gas. The lighthouse underwent further repairs in 1893 and 1913. A foghorn was installed in 1916 but almost immediately thereafter operations ceased until 1918 because of the First World War. In 1933 a red lamp was installed and, at the same time, the lighthouse was connected to the electricity grid. Integrated in the telecontrol network of the approaches of the port of Lisbon, it was automated in 1980, and became remotely controlled. Together with the Bugio lighthouse it marks the entrance or exit of the Lisbon Bar, the Bugio light being green. The São Julião lighthouse is 24 metres tall, with an altitude of 39 metres.

As part of the Comoro Islands chain in the Mozambique Channel, the geology of Mayotte is virtually the same as the geology of the Comoros, the rest of the island chain which is independent of France. The island resulted from the rifting of Madagascar away from Africa as well as hotspot mantle plume activity, and is also impacted by seismicity and deformation associated with the East African Rift. However, because Mayotte is a part of France its geology is significantly more researched than that of other islands in the chain. Mayotte is a primarily volcanic island rising steeply from the bed of the ocean to a height of on Mont Bénara. Two volcanic centres are reported, a southern one Pic Chongui, , with a breached crater to the NW, and a northern centre Mont M'Tsapéré, with a breached crater to the south-east. Mont Bénara is between these two peaks, approximately at the contact point of the two structures. Volcanic activity started about 7.7 million years ago in the south, ceasing about 2.7 million years ago. In the north, activity started about 4.7 million years ago and lasted until about 1.4 million years ago. Both centres had several phases of activity. Ash bands found in the corals suggest some continuing minor activity. The most recent age reported for an ash band is 7000 year BP. Stratigraphy & Tectonics As with other islands in the Comoros chain, Mayotte's location in the Mozambique Channel is tectonically complex, due to the displacement of the Malagasarian microcontinent from the margin of the supercontinent Gondwana. Mesozoic From the Permian until the Early Jurassic, the Comoros region experienced Karoo rifting, on an northeastsouthwest trend. During the Middle Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, an ocean basin, running northsouth, formed along the Davie Ridge. Cenozoic The volcanoes in the Comoros date to the recent past of the Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene period. The oldest volcano on the chain is 7.7 million years old, on Mayotte. Volcanoes are older further east. Anjouan is 3.9 million years old and Moheli is five million years old. Grande Comore is the youngest at only 10,000 years old. Some geologists have proposed that the Comoros is an example of one of 11 primary mantle plumes worldwide. The East African Rift System became active 22 to 25 million years ago in the Miocene and its offshore extent is the youngest. The rift system causes seismicity, extensional deformation and created the offshore Kerimbas Graben. Natural hazards From 2002 to 2006, the French Geological Survey conducted an extensive natural hazards survey throughout the 17 districts of Mayotte and published a hazard zonation map. Some parts of the island face threats from storm surges and landslides and areas with weathered volcanic rock face heightened risk from seismic activity. Hydrogeology Groundwater on Mayotte is sourced from several aquifers in the fractured basalt. The island's aquifer is one of the best studied basalt aquifers other than Hawaii and the Canary Islands. The perched aquifers are separated by units of rock that act as aquitards and aquicludes, slowing or nearly stopping the flow of water. Natural resources There is very little mining in Mayotte, aside from the production of building material. In some cases, coral is mined to produce lime for concrete. Earthquake Swarm Starting in May 2018 there have been many minor earthquakes under the eastern flank of the volcano constituting what is generally referred to as a swarm. The exact nature of the forces behind this swarm remain unclear as of March 2019. The French government geological agency, the BRGM are maintaining a website on the events at this link. The current, 2019 leading theory is about a combination of magma emplacement into the seabed over an extended period and a partial collapse of the magma chamber's roof, but that is still under debate. A set of seabed seismic recorders was put into the ocean in February 2019, for retrieval in about September of that year, which should give better locations and directional solutions for future events. In November 2018 a very peculiar seismological signal was produced as part of this swarm. The November 11 2018 seismic event occurred about east of the coast of Mayotte. It was recorded by seismograms in many place including Kenya, Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and Hawaii located almost away. The seismic waves lasted for over 20 minutes but despite this, no one felt it. The peculiar thing about this event is that instead of the normal range of frequencies of noise being detected, only a very narrow range was detected - the event is sometimes described by seismologists as monochrome. In a discussion captured on Twitter, ideas were batted around about a partial collapse of a magma chamber roof, but at this time 2019-03 work continues to understand the event. Estimated depths of to are compatible with a magma chamber within the volcano substructure, but other solutions for the depth of the source structure have been proposed.

Newzealandia is a genus of land planarians from the New Zealand. Description Species of Newzealandia are characterized by a copulatory apparatus that lacks a penis papilla and has a series of accessory glands embedded into the wall of the atrial cavity. Those glands are similar to the adenodactyls found in the closely related genus Artioposthia, the main difference being that adenodactyls project into the atrial cavity. Etymology The name Newzealandia comes from New Zealand, the country in which the species of the genus are found. Species The genus Newzealandia includes the following species: Newzealandia agricola Dendy, 1895 Newzealandia graffii Dendy, 1895 Newzealandia inaequabilis Fyfe, 1956 Newzealandia inequalistriata Dendy, 1895 Newzealandia iris Dendy, 1896 Newzealandia moseleyi Hutton, 1880 References Category:Geoplanidae Category:Rhabditophora genera Category:Worms of New Zealand

505 North Ervay, also known as the Reserve Loan Life Building, was a mid-rise skyscraper located in the City Center District of downtown Dallas, Texas, United States. Originally an office building, today it was part of the First Baptist Church campus until the building was imploded on June 29, 2019. History Originally planned as an 8-story structure, construction began in 1945 on a square site at the corner of Federal Street and North Ervay Street. After a delay, developer Monroe Building Corporation revised the design and the structure was expanded to include three additional floors. The building was constructed of steel, brick and glass; the use of exterior floor separations gave the building a horizontal emphasis. Upon completion in 1948, the building was sold to the Reserve Loan Life Insurance Company, which occupied the building's first four floors. The remainder of the office space was leased to various companies including insurance and advertising firms. It was also home to offices for the United States Secret Service, whose testimony served a role in the 1963 John F. Kennedy assassination's Warren Commission. The building was sold to InsurOmedic Life Insurance Company in 1955, which installed a sign at the top of the building. In 1972 investor Bill Gaynier bought and renovated the structurepainting the exterior, adding entrance canopies and opening the ground floor to pedestrian traffic. The improvement resulted in a near 100 percent occupancy rate by 1975, and the building was renamed and re-signed the Mutual of Omaha Building after the new lead tenant. By the late 1980s, after Gaynier's death and a resulting lawsuit over ownership, the building had become mostly vacant. First Baptist Church of Dallas, which owned several adjoining structures, purchased the building in 1990 for $1.1 million. It was partially used for education space before its closure. The building was demolished by implosion on Saturday, June 29, 2019.

José María Guido 29 August 1910 13 June 1975 was President of Argentina, from 30 March 1962 to 12 October 1963. Guido was elected to the Argentine Senate for Río Negro Province in 1958, representing the Intransigent Radical Civic Union UCRI. He was elected Provisional President of the Senate and became first in line to the Presidency following the resignation of Vice-President Alejandro Gómez. Following the provincial victory of the newly re-legalised Peronists, the military deposed President Arturo Frondizi but reluctantly allowed Guido to assume the Presidency, with the support of the Supreme Court of Argentina. Guido thus became the only civilian to take power in Argentina by military coup. Guido directed Congress to annul the 1962 election results and suppressed the Peronist cause again. His presidency was marked by violent confrontations between rival military factions, culminating in the 1963 Argentine Navy Revolt, which Guido's government successfully suppressed. Elections were allowed to take place in 1963 which brought Arturo Umberto Illia to power.

Robert W. Ball is a Canadian yacht designer, now based in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Robert Ball was the chief in-house designer at C&C Yachts from 1973 to 1991. Career Robert Ball joined C&C Yachts in the late 1960s as a summer employee when he was still in school, studying Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Michigan's College of Engineering. As soon as he graduated in 1969 George Cuthbertson hired him. Cuthbertson soon had Ball designing masts and mast fittings, and soon after that he handed Ball hull structural design. Chief Designer at C&C Yachts Ball was promoted to Chief Designer at C&C Yachts in May 1973. As head of design his first couple of hull designs were essentially re-works of existing hulls with minor changes. His first design undertaken from a clean sheet was the C&C 33 done in the spring of 1974, a high performance design, fitting the three-quarter ton size. This design would race well and re-establish C&C's image on the race courses. An early 33 was shipped to Europe to be used by Baltic Yachts for their production and it was entered in the Three-Quarter Ton Cup that was in Norway that year. In the first two races they placed well and in the third race took first place, unusual for a production boat with a full interior up against race boats. In a speech given at the Legends of Ontario Sailing Award Ontario Sailing Gala on Saturday, April 2, 2011, fellow designer Robert Mazza reflected on Ball's high-performance yacht designs: Under Rob Balls design leadership Canada was well represented by C&C Yachts in Admirals Cup Racing, including the 1979 Fastnet race, in Onion Patch Racing, which included the Newport Bermuda Race, and several Canada's Cup Races, not to mention innumerable races on Long Island Sound, all the Great Lakes including Superior, and wherever two or more boats would gather to race or cruise. Classic production and custom boats like the C&C 33, 34, 35 and C&C 40 and 41s, Amazing Grace, Magistri, Silver Shadow, Charisma, Archangel, and many more came off Robs drawing board and out of the design office under Robs supervision. Throughout the 1970s C&C's design group also created boats for other builders, such as the Great Lakes 33 trawler, built by Ontario Yachts. John Atkin was always publicly credited as the designer, but its lines were drawn by C&C's Rob Ball. By 1985, under Ball's supervision, C&C's design office had grown to eleven staff, with new designers spending time with plans for the archives, familiarizing themselves with the companys design history. By the time these up and coming designers were entrusted with a critical design job, such as the deck of a new model, they had been immersed in the C&C design philosophy. Putting compatible designers together was one of Balls strengths. Ball was in charge of the overall hull design and the basic conceptional design, while another designer was in charge of structures. George Cassian's expertise was in interiors. Another staff member was familiar with computers and converted much of the basic design and keel design drafting work to a computer program. Each person on the team had a specialty, but they were also all project engineers to provide depth and also keep them each engaged in the projects. In this way they could keep tabs on a particular project and each staff member could get a little more personally invested in that particular boat design. In an interview for The Yacht magazine in 1985 Ball commented in the difference between designing for custom projects compared to the building of production boats: A production boat is more challenging. A grand prix race boat is more emotionally interesting, but not so challenging. The production boat is three times more complex. Robert Ball gave a speech at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club's tribute to George Cuthbertson, where he expanded on this idea, saying: As much as custom designs were notable, it was production boats that paid our way, and George imbibed the message that they are much more challenging design-wise, since performance is important, but attractiveness, and practicality for the builder and the sailor was actually the key to successful designs. George was key in helping me balance the various factors that would result in many people wanting to sail our boats. Changes at C&C By the late 1980s there had been changes at C&C Yachts and the number of staff in the design department had been reduced. Quoting a 1988 review in Sailing Magazine by Robert Perry yacht designer of the then new C&C 37R: I called Rob Ball, head designer at C&C, to talk about the 37R. Rob said that once in a great while you get a boat that does everything perfectly, i.e. floats level, balances well, looks good, goes fast ... and sells. The new C&C 37R is just that boat. The boat has proved so fast that orders for the racing model have totally overwhelmed the orders for the more subdued cruise-race model. It appears that C&C is back in their old groove of producing high performance boats. Much of the credit for this success must go to the C&C design team. Hull design is handled by Rob Ball, accommodations by Rob Ball, deck design and layout by Rob Ball and rig and general engineering by Rob Ball. You see, the team is not as big as it used to be, but the success of the 37R is testimony to the fact that perhaps Ball's talents were being diluted by the input of too many other in-house, competing designers in the past. In September 1990 Robert Ball left C&C Yachts to join Concordia Custom Yachts Concordia Company, in Padanaram, Massachusetts, but continued to do design work for C&C International as RWB Design until the Niagara-on-the-Lake factory fire destroyed molds, boats under construction, and facilities in 1994, essentially putting C&C out of business in Canada. Recent Robert Ball joined Edson International in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1993. Ball had perfected his use of computer-aided design CAD during his 25 years at C&C and his tenure at the Concordia Company so he used his knowledge to guide the companys changeover to truly computerized design and engineering functions. Robert Ball is presently Chief Design Engineer at Edson International. Landmark designs In 1985 the then president of C&C Yachts, David Gee said, Rob Ball has more boats on the water than most other naval architects that you can name. A quote from Robert Ball: We once counted boat's and came to 7,454 boat's built to my design. That does not include the three Boston Whalers - the Harpoon 4.6, 5.2, and 6.2. Not sure how many - I have 5.2 number 508. And a number of Windsurfers - I'm sure a few thousand. And a row boat - The Pocket Rowing Skiff - we built 50, and I see it is still being built by Rossiter Boats C&C 38 1975 Introduced in 1975, the 38 was a true racer-cruiser, the design performed well racing, had good middle-of-the-road stability, and came with a well appointed interior. The resulting demand in the market indicated this was the perfect size for the cruiser who wanted a roomy boat below but did not want a boat that was too much to handle while sailing. With 98 boats sold, it was C&C's biggest-seller of 1976. C&C 40 1977 The company's success with the 38 allowed C&C to develop a somewhat larger boat for the market, a design that proved to be one of the most profitable projects in the company's history. First launched as a limited series production design, interest in the 40 was initially lowC&C had been beaten to the market by boats like the North American 40 which it had been approached to build under contract, Swan 411, Islander 40 and Tartan 41. Initially built by the C&C Yachts Custom Division in Oakville, Ontario, the owners of these products of Erich Bruckmann's shop were free to experiment with interior layout a number of these original owners, with racing foremost in their mind, experimented to the point of ordering yachts with virtually no interior layout to speak of, as well as with the options of a taller rig or deeper keel. The C&C 40, in turn, became the most thorough in-water and custom testing program ever undertaken by the Company. In all, 19 40-footers were crafted by the custom division before the design was promoted to production status at the Niagara-on-the-Lake plant. The first 11 were built without interior liners, and many features experimented with on these and subsequent custom-produced boats found their way into the production model. Some of the most comprehensive and beneficial in-water testing was derived from Amazing Grace, owned by Robert Herron of Port Credit, Ontario, through her performance at the SORC. The C&C 40's reputation was made on Long Island Sound, a hotbed of racing activity and a traditionally strong market area for the Canadian Company's products in that era. The first two 40s to sail on the Sound were named Coyote and On Rush. They were campaigned strenuously by a pair of rival sail lofts, the result of which was some first-rate competition and some equally first-rate public exposure to the new design. In short time, market interest snowballed for a product that had been delayed going into the first phase of its development plan by a lack of orders. In all 167 were built at a 25 per cent profit margin, which helped offset the company's difficulty building models under 30 feet profitability. The 40 was a major success for C&C in the tough Long Island Sound market, where an association just for C&C 40 owners was formed. Evergreen 1977 The Canada's Cup winner in 1978 was a C&C design, the Two Ton class Evergreen, owned by Don Green with Hans Fogh at the helm. The design was a radical, dinghy-like, 41-foot boat, designed with the aim of winning the trophy as the C&C design team had exploited loopholes in the regatta rules. As one example, the galley was required to have sink but, in order to save weight, it had no drain, which the rule makers had not thought to specify. The deck hatches opened inward, which could be a safety hazard if they gave way during a capsize or broach, and the Evergreen crew faced protests over this defect in both the SORC and in the Canada's Cup. Upon reflection over the 1979 Fastnet race in which he participated, Skipper Green later said that Evergreen never should have gone to England for the Admiral's Cup, which is the destination of most Canada's Cup winners. Canadian Yachting magazine stated fifteen years later that few yachts have created more controversy than Evergreen, and that its extreme design and controversial features ruffled feathers around the world. After the competition that year, the rule books were rewritten to preclude safety problems like those raised by the design of Evergreen, and as a result, C&C never received another commission for a Canada's Cup yacht. Archangel 1980 The C&C Custom 67 Archangel was designed by Robert Ball and was launched in September 1980. She was commissioned by Michael Davies, publisher of the Kingston Whig-Standard newspaper who participated in the design process. He wanted a cruising yacht large enough to voyage anywhere in the world in comfort, but requiring only a small crew. This resulted in the schooner rig being chosen for Archangel as it divides the sails up into more manageable sizes. She remains the largest pleasureboat commission ever received by C&C, and was an enormous projectsix months in design and 14 months in construction. Archangel was built by C&C Yachts Custom Division. She is a yacht built for comfortable living, she was made to be as independent of land as possible through such features as two sources of AC power, desalinators, an enormous freezer, and a pair of dinghies. Davies, along with family and friends sailed Archangel over in the period from 1980 to 1991, visiting dozens of countries along the way. Archangel later became Sir Peter Blake and Lady Blake's family yacht. During this period Sir Blake used her as his command boat for Team New Zealand through their successful defence of the America's Cup in 2000. Michael Bundock, a member of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, purchased Archangel from Lady Blake in Barcelona in 2004. Bundock then spent about two years sailing her halfway around the world, eventually taking her back to his home in New Zealand. Archangel is currently based in Auckland and is sailed regularly on the Hauraki Gulf. Her sail numbers are now NZL1040. Magistri 1982 Magistri, a custom 39-footer, was designed and built for Peter Farlinger, a racing yachtsman of considerable experience. Magistri was targeted to the heavy air conditions expected in a typical Admiral's Cup series and was built to high standards of Kevlar, foam, and carbon fibre. Her debut brought overall victory in the Lake Erie Race followed by good performances in both Mackinacs. She then dominated the New York fall series of races with three straight firsts and was doing well in the Southern Ocean Racing Conference SORC when a dismasting in the Miami/Nassau Race ended her bid in this prestigious event. Selected as one of the three boats making up the 1983 Canadian Admiral's Cup team all C&Cs and all three Robert Ball designs she won the Channel Race overall the first-ever overall win by a Canadian yacht in an Admiral's Cup event. Her final series placing was sixth in fleet, also a best-ever for Canadian sailors. A quote from Robert Ball: Magistri was maybe my best triumph . . . . . Peter asked me for a heavy weather upwind design specifically for the Admirals Cup. His feeling was that a bunch of Toronto sailors had sailed in light air a lot and would be better than the Brits in those conditions . . . . . so, if I could deliver a heavy weather boat, they could be competitive across the board. Even Big George questioned my ability to accomplish same . . . . . I was at my prime, and the design of the boat came true . . . . . In England the heavy weather characteristics paid off. In the Channel Race Magistri won - probably my best ever result because against the best in the world, with a normal amateur crew. Farlinger sailed her exclusively offshore, and only for a short period, before selling her to Jacob Wallenberg of Stockholm, Sweden. Renamed Insdispensible II Wallenberg campaigned her successfully and competed as a member of the Swedish Admiral's Cup team in 1985. Magistri was an excellent, if small-ish, ocean racer that reaffirmed there was more to C&C's design touch than a wildcard like Evergreen. C&C 44 1985 The C&C 44 was a solid top end to the C&C product line. With the fin keel version drawing more than eight feet, C&C offered a centreboard configuration to reduce draft to five feet, four in. The 44 continued a C&C tradition for nicely proportioned boats. In a July 1988 review, Lloyd Hircock wrote in Canadan Yachting magazine, The C&C 44 is a splendid sea boatdry, kindly, strong and seaworthy ... I rate the C&C 44 up there with the best of them. It is an impressive yacht to sail. It is strong and capable, and well designed for safe offshore passages for comfortable lake cruising. At the drop of a flag this design is ready to take to the race course. He did find fault with the inadequate cabin ventilation, the uncomfortable helm seat, as well as the aft genoa sheet track location and the location of the mainsheet traveller in the middle of the cockpit, which reduces cockpit seating space. Landfall series While C&C Yachts was known for its high-performance yachts, primarily building straight racers or racer-cruisers, Robert Ball's C&C Landfall series was conceived and marketed as performance cruisers. Launched in the late 1970s they were ahead of their time and so were not as commercially successful as they should have been, as many cruising sailors at the time still favoured heavier more traditional designs. In comparison, today most new cruising designs feature a performance-oriented hull shape, often with shoal draft. Maintenance is kept to a minimum, especially externally. These same criteria define the C&C Landfall series dating from almost 40 years ago. The Landfall 38 was the most successful boat in the Landfall seriesabout 180 were built from 1979 to 1985and today it remains popular among both coastal and bluewater cruisers looking for an older boat that is fast, comfortable, affordable and well built. Landfall 38s are found cruising all over the world. A Cruising World poll in 2013 elected the Landfall 38 as number 29 in their list of 40 greatest production monohulls of all time.

The Dagaaba people singular Dagao, and, in northern dialects, Dagara for both plural and singular are an ethnic group located north of the convergence of Ghana, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire. They speak the Dagaare language, a Gur language made up of the related Northern Dagaare dialects, Southern Dagaare dialects and a number of sub dialects. In northern dialects, both the language and the people are referred to as Dagara. They are related to the Birifor people and the Dagaare Diola. The language is collectively known as Dagaare also spelled and/or pronounced as Dagare, Dagari, Dagarti, Dagaran or Dagao, and historically some non-natives have taken this as the name of the people. One historian, describing the former usage of Dagarti to refer to this community by colonials, writes: The name 'Dagarti' appears to have been coined by the first Europeans to visit the region, from the vernacular root dagaa. Correctly 'Dagari' is the name of the language, 'Dagaaba' or 'Dagara' that of the people, and 'Dagaw' or 'Dagawie' that of the land. Geographic spread Although sometimes divided into Northern and Southern Dagaare speakers, their combined population was estimated in 2003 at over one million spread across the Northwest corner of Ghana and Sud-Ouest Region in Southwestern Burkina Faso. The Southern Dagaare are a people of around 700,000 living in the western part of Upper West Region. The Northern Dagaare speakers, with an estimated population of 388,000 in 2001 live primarily in Ioba Province, but also in Poni, Bougouriba, Sissili, and Mouhoun provinces. In Ghana, several waves of internal migration, beginning with the start of colonial rule in the late 19th century but possibly having been begun sooner and spiking in the 1980s, have brought a sizable Dagaaba population to towns in the southern part of the nation, notably Brong Ahafo Region. In modern Ghana, the Dagaaba homeland of the Upper West Region includes the Districts and towns of Nandom, Lawra, Jirapa, Kaleo, Papu, Nadowli, Daffiama, Wechiau and Hamile. Large communities are also found in the towns of Wa, Bogda, Babile, Tuna, Han and Nyoli. History The source of Dagaaba communities in the pre-colonial era remain a point of debate. The evidence of oral tradition is that the Dagaaba are an outgrowth of the Mole-Dagbani group which migrated to the semi-arid Sahel region in the fourteenth century CE. They are believed to have further migrated to the lower northern part of the region in the seventeenth century. From well before the appearance of Europeans, the Dagaaba lived in small scale agricultural communities, not centralised into any large state-like structure. Ethnological studies point to oral literature which tells that the Dagaaba periodically, and ultimately successfully, resisted attempts at conquest by states in the south of modern Ghana, as well as the Kingdoms of Dagbon, Mamprugu and Gonja in the north. One thesis based on oral evidence is that the Dagaaba formed as a break away faction of Dagbon under Na Nyanse. The colonial borders, demarcated during the Scramble for Africa, placed them in northwestern Ghana and southern Burkina Faso, as well as small populations in Ivory Coast. Extra-community relations Dagaaba communities have occasionally come into conflict with neighbouring groups, especially over land rights, as recently as the 1980s with the Sisala people and at earlier times with the Wala people. The latter, in alliance with the Wassoulou Empire of Diola Samory Toure, conquered much of Dagawie in the late 1890s, under the generalship of Sarankye Mori. Some of the southern most Dagaaba villages were in the early 1890s under the authority of the Kingdom of Wala but then rebelled in 1894 and asserted their independence. They were however restored to the domains of the Wala Native Authority by the British in 1933. Society Within the Dagawie homelands, the Dagaaba have traditionally formed sedentary agricultural communities. Modern Dagaaba lineages consist of ten clans encompassing over one million people. Traditional polities Traditional Dagaaba communities are based on the Yir subclan or household group, a series of which are clustered into the Tengan, an earth deity shrine area. The Tengan system, a constellation of roles usually inherited within the same household group, is called the tendaalun. The head of these shrine area systems, the tengan sob sometimes tindana fulfilled the role of community elder and priest, along with the tengan dem, the ritual custodian and maintainer of the ritual center. Other priestly/elder roles within the tendaalun include the suo sob who performs ritual animal slaughter to the earth deity, the zongmogre who performs rituals at the sacred market centres, and the gara dana or wie sob who is ritual leader among hunting societies. These remain living forms of community in much of Dagaaba society, and influence, among other things, the community perception of land as held in spiritual custodianship, and different community resources falling under the custodianship of different authorities, lineages, and/or spiritual forces. Until the latter part of the nineteenth century when institutional chieftaincy evolved and was later imposed by colonial administration, broader Dagaaba communities functioned under a system of councils of elders. Some Dagaaba communities maintain traditional ceremonial chieftainships, sometimes contesting. As recently as 2006, the Council of Elders of the Dagaaba community of Ghana attempted to unite various factions with the appointment of Naa Franklin Suantah, Principal Librarian of the Saint Louis Training College of Kumasi as chief of the Dagaaba community in Ghana. Culture Dagaaba communities historically have practiced Traditional religions, as well as Islam and Christianity. The Ghanaian Dagaaba have traditionally had a Cousinage/Joking relationship with the Frafra Gurunsi people. The Dagaaba, before the influence of the colonialist, were self-reliant in iron production and were very successful in mixed crops farming. They also developed sophisticated musical instruments including gyle xylophones. Economics Communities in Dagaaba homelands remain primarily small scale agricultural, with family farming plots tilled by the family themselves. In the modern era, off-farm wage income is often used to supplement trade income and subsistence from farming. Fishing communities of Dagaaba persist along the Black Volta, a de facto boundary of Dagaaba lands. Because the communities are found along historic coast-to-Sahel trade routes, trade has long been an important occupation, but largely in local goods. Markets in larger towns are on Sundays, with others on a six-day cycle. Some contemporary Dagaaba communities of northern Ghana are notable as the last West African communities to still use Cowrie shells as currency, alongside the modern Ghanaian cedi. Cowrie are used not only for traditional ornamental and ceremonial purposes as other West African communities do, but also as an inflation proof form of internal savings and as a safe medium to trade across national and currency boundaries which may divide Dagaaba communities. Oral literature Oral literature has a long tradition with Dagaaba communities, and remains a living vehicle of education and acculturation in Dagaaba society. There are two main types of literature in Dagaaba society. They can broadly be categorised as secular literature consisting of stories, tales, proverbs and other oral genre and the sacred literature produced during ritual and religious services.

The Rockhampton nightclub bombings consisted of two separate incidents that occurred in Rockhampton, Queensland in November 1989 and June 1990 where two nightclubs in the city centre were bombed. It's never been confirmed whether there were any links between the two events. Shark Nightclub At 3:05am on 10 November 1989, an explosion occurred at the Shark Nightclub in Bolsover Street. Upon emergency services arriving at the scene, another explosion occurred injuring two police officers, Police Constable John Dallow and Senior Constable Jeff Dawson and firefighter Trevor Kidd. While Dallow and Dawson were both released from hospital soon after the incident, Kidd spent twelve weeks recovering from his injuries in hospital. The explosions caused significant structural damage to the building at 131 Bolsover Street but the building was repaired. Factory Nightclub At 4:10am on 28 June 1990, an explosion occurred at the Factory Nightclub in the Headrick's Building at 189 East Street. Investigations later revealed that one of the devices that had been planted within the building had failed to detonate which had been the only factor that had prevented the entire building from being destroyed. Following the explosion, police found 29 sticks of unexploded gelignite in the nightclub. Buildings in the immediate vicinity were evacuated including the local ABC station in Quay Street where Andrew Lofthouse was due to begin his first shift. Rewards The two bombings remain unsolved crimes. In 2014, the Queensland Police Service advised that the Minister for Police had approved two $50,000 rewards for information which led to the apprehension and conviction of those responsible for each bombing. In both cases, an indemnity was also offered to any accomplice not directly involved who gives information about either crime.
