text: On 30 June, III. Gruppe flew two fighter intercept missions against RAF forces attacking various targets near Lille. Defending against these attacks, Boremski, flying with 7. Staffel, claimed a Hawker Hurricane fighter shot down which was not confirmed. On 1 September, during the Battle of Britain, command of III. Gruppe was transferred to Hauptmann Wilhelm Balthasar when the former commander Kienitz had fallen ill. Boremski shot down the Bristol Blenheim bomber T1794 of No. 139 Squadron RAF on 24 September 1940. The Blenheim was on a mission against E-boats and fell into the English Channel. Squadron Leader M. F. Hendry, Sergeant P. M. Davidson and Sergeant V. Arrowsmith were killed in action. On 15 February 1941, III. Gruppe was ordered to Gütersloh Airfield in Germany for a period of rest and replenishment. At Gütersloh, the Gruppe received a full complement of the then new Bf 109 F-2 variant. On 3 May, III. Gruppe moved back to the English Channel front where it was based at Lillers. There, Boremski claimed his last aerial victory over the RAF on 25 May 1941. On 9 June, III. Gruppe was withdrawn from the west and ordered to transfer to Breslau-Gandau, now known as 'Wrocław Airport' in Poland.

text: Supporting German forces fighting in the Demyansk Pocket on 18 February 1942, Boremski claimed a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 fighter shot down, which may have been misidentified Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Gudkov LaGG-3 fighters. On 3 May 1942, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes) for achieving 43 victories. After serving as an instructor with Ergänzungsgruppe Süd in mid 1942, he returned to JG 3. In February 1943, he was made Staffelkapitän (squadron leader) of 7. Staffel of JG 3. On 7 March, his 7. Staffel was ordered to Dnipropetrovsk where they formed the Deutsch-Königlich Rumänischen Jagdverband (German Royal Romanian Fighter Unit) of Luftflotte 4, in collaboration with the Royal Romanian Air Force. Boremski was placed in command of this unit. Boremski served in these roles until 30 May 1943, when he was wounded on account of his Bf 109 G-2 suffering engine failure resulting in a forced landing 10 km (6.2 mi) southeast of Kamianske. Consequently, he was succeeded by Hauptmann Karl-Heinz Langer as commander of 7. Staffel.

text: Scott Tobias of The New York Times wrote, "Now in the homestretch of the new season, Hawley returns to Oz again with an extended fantasy sequence that addresses Dot's back story more deftly than a standard monologue or flashback ever could. It's also a subtler homage than running a tornado through Kansas in black-and-white." Sean T. Collins of Decider wrote, "The Coen Brothers can be unsparing as hell when they want to, and there are cases throughout their filmography where people who deserve to live don't. That's been mostly, though not entirely, untrue of Hawley's version of things. I suppose both we and Dot are going to find out soon enough." Felicia Nickens of TV Obsessive wrote, "I'm still unclear about Munch and his whole story. Was that really his mom? Was that man really his brother? A lot of questions with no clear answers, but honestly he's my least favorite character and I'm not too invested in his life and what happens to him. However, it is clear that he and Gator will be seeing each other again."


title: Gabonese nationality law

text: In 1472 Portuguese sailor, Lopes Gonçalves sighted the Gabon Estuary and continued exploring southward from modern-day Libreville to the cape which bears his name, arriving in 1473 or 1474. Prior to the involvement of Europeans, the Pygmy- and Bantu-speaking people who had settled in the region did not share a language or develop a common political system. Instead, the mobile societies, which migrated within a few decades, were organized in a clan-based system. A village headman, who had distinguished himself through prowess in battle, hunting, trade, or rituals was at the top of the social hierarchy. Below him were his dependents, allies, and slaves. Wealth was derived by controlling people, trading wives and dependents as commodities to increase power. By 1600, conflicts had arisen with European trading networks and British, Dutch, and French merchants were trading in the region for slaves and ivory. These encounters transformed the coastal communities into mercantile centers within centralized kingdoms.


title: Gabonese nationality law

text: By 1700, the Kingdom of Orungu was operating near Cape Lopez and began to dominate the trade in beeswax, copal, dye materials, ebony, and ivory. By 1760, the Orungu were engaged in the slave trade, but primarily as purchasers of slaves from the Dutch, rather than sellers of slaves. They increasingly implemented taxation schemes and by the mid-eighteenth century had become one of the dominant kingdoms of the coast. The Mpongwe chiefs, who had been pushed to their north, in the Gabon Estuary during the previous century, were actively engaged as middlemen between trading networks. Vying for control of key trading outposts, the African kingdoms came into conflict with each other, forcing some of the clans to move inward from the coast to take refuge in more remote forested areas. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Brazilian, Portuguese and Spanish slave traders increased their involvement in the slave trade as the British, Dutch, and French withdrew. Both British and French patrol boats guarded the coast to protect trade routes and halt slaving.


title: Gabonese nationality law

text: In 1839, French admiral, Édouard Bouët-Willaumez, signed a commercial treaty with the headmen along the coast hoping to gain benefits of trade as well as agricultural land to be developed. Continuing with treaty making over the next several years, he signed treaties with most of the headmen in the Gabon Estuary. In 1848, Bouët-Willaumez established the foundations of Libreville and the following year brought a group of slaves liberated from a Dutch ship to work as wage laborers on the nearby plantations. The site would become the first colonial capital and military outpost in Gabon. By 1885, the slave trade had been replaced by commerce in dye-making plants, ivory, and rubber. Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza was appointed commissioner general of France's possessions of French Congo and Gabon in 1886. In 1891, the two colonies were incorporated into one entity and in 1894 de Brazza granted a large concession to the French trading house of Daumas Béraud and the Societe du Haut Ogooué (Society of Upper Ogooué) in Gabon, granting them a monopoly on trade in exchange for governing the region. De Brazza left the Congo in 1897, but his successors continued using corporate trade concessions to manage affairs in the French possessions licensing forty companies. On 29 December 1903, France issued a decree placing Gabon, Moyen-Congo (Middle Congo, the previous colony of French Congo), the newly established territories of Ubangi-Shari and Chad under French Congo's commissioner general at Brazzaville. Gabon was granted a lieutenant-governor in Libreville to oversee its administration. In 1910, these colonies were federated into French Equatorial Africa.


title: Gabonese nationality law

text: In 1848, slavery was abolished throughout the French Empire and the Civil Code was extended to all of the French citizens in the colonies. Under the Civil Code, women were legally incapacitated and paternal authority was established over their children. Upon marriage, a woman married to a French man automatically acquired the same nationality as her spouse. Illegitimate children were barred from inheritance and nationality could only be transmitted through a father. Non-citizen nationals were governed by traditional laws concerning marriage and inheritance which placed the well-being of the community above individual rights. These laws prevented a wife from being treated as a slave, required her husband to support her, and entitled her kin to a bride price, to compensate them for the loss of her fertility to their kinship group and secure the legality of the union. Having paid the price for the marriage contract, she and her offspring belonged to the kinship network of her husband and could be inherited if her husband died.


title: Gabonese nationality law

text: The French Nationality Law of 1889 codified previous statutory laws, changing the French standard from jus sanguinis to jus soli and was extended to the French West Indies. Under its terms, women who would become stateless by the rule to acquire their spouse's nationality were allowed to retain their French nationality upon marriage. The Nationality Law was modified in 1897 when it was extended to the remainder of the French colonies. Clarification in the 1897 decree included that bestowing nationality by birth in French territory only applied to children born in France, restoring descent requirements for the colonies. Under the Code de l'indigénat (Code of Indigenous Status) promulgated for Algeria in 1881 and extended to French Equatorial Africa in 1910, nationals in the new colonies followed customary law. On 23 May 1912, a decree was issued specifically addressing the status of French Equatorial Africans. Under its terms, native persons born in Equatorial Africa were nationals of France but not citizens and were subject to the Indigenous Code. Upon reaching the age of twenty-one, they could be naturalized; however, the law was explicit that neither a wife nor the children of a naturalized Equatorial African automatically derived his French nationality. Only if the spouses were married under French law and the children registered in the Civil Registry could they acquire the status of the husband or father. To naturalize Equatorial Africans had to be able to both read and write French and had to have served in the French military service or have been decorated with the Legion of Honor.


title: Gabonese nationality law

text: In 1927, France passed a new Nationality Law, which under Article 8, removed the requirement for married women to automatically derive the nationality of a husband and provided that her nationality could only be changed if she consented to change her nationality. It also allowed children born in France to native-born French women married to foreigners to acquire their nationality from their mothers. When it was implemented it included Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion but was extended to the remaining French possessions for French citizens only in 1928. Under Article 26 of the 1928 decree was the stipulation that it did not apply to natives of the French possessions except in Algeria, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Réunion. A decade later, the legal incapacity of married women was finally invalidated for French citizens. In 1939, France determined that marriage and inheritance were too significant to continue being dealt with in native courts. That year, the Mandel Decree was enacted in French West Africa as well as French Equatorial Africa. Under its terms child marriage was discouraged. It established the minimum age at marriage as fourteen for women and sixteen for men, invalidated marriages wherein spouses did not consent, and nullified levirate marriage without approval of the woman.


title: Gabonese nationality law

text: Gabon attained its independence on 17 August 1960. Those who acquired Gabonese nationality on that date included any person domiciled in Gabon including their children and spouse. However, those not born in Gabon had to apply for confirmation by registering with the head of state their intent to remain in Gabon. On 2 March 1962, the Gabonese Nationality Code (Loi No. 89-61) came into effect. It proclaimed that after independence, nationality was acquired by being born to at least one parent of Gabonese origin, unless one of the parents had diplomatic immunity. The law required foreign women to acquire the nationality of her Gabonese spouse upon marriage, unless before or during the ceremony she declared an intent to retain her nationality of origin. It did not require Gabonese women marrying foreigners to lose their nationality upon marriage, but allowed them to renounce their nationality in favor of that of their husband. Under its provisions dual nationality was permitted. Article 10, was modified in 1965 by ordinance (No. 25/PR) to provide nationality for those who at independence were not domiciled in Gabon, but were born to Gabonese parents. Article 40 was amended in 1968 via ordinance (No. 35/68) to provide for fees to process naturalization and denaturalization petitions, and Article 24 was amended (Loi No. 5-73) in 1973.


title: 1974 Xenia tornado

text: The 1974 Xenia tornado was a violent F5 tornado that destroyed a large portion of Xenia and Wilberforce, Ohio, United States on the afternoon of April 3, 1974. It was the deadliest individual tornado of the 1974 Super Outbreak, the 24-hour period between April 3 and April 4, 1974, during which 148 tornadoes touched down in 13 different U.S. states. The 1974 Xenia tornado is considered to be the worst tornado in Ohio's history, and is the reason for improved warning systems, alarms, and safety protocols throughout the state. Across the state, 2,000 individuals were injured, 7,000 homes were destroyed, and 39 people were killed during the 1974 Super Outbreak, 32 of them being in Xenia. Despite Ohio being better equipped for a tornadic disaster than many other states, a survey team from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found the lack of tornado sirens to be one of the leading causes of unpreparedness. It was one of two tornadoes to be assigned a preliminary F6 rating by Dr. Ted Fujita, the other being the 1970 Lubbock tornado; however, the rating was later downgraded to an F5.


title: 1974 Xenia tornado

text: A powerful springtime low pressure system developed across the North American Interior Plains on April 2. While moving into the Mississippi and Ohio Valley areas, a surge of moist air originating from the Gulf of Mexico intensified the storm. There were sharp temperature contrasts between both sides of the system, creating very unstable weather conditions. Several F2 and F3 tornadoes had struck portions of the Ohio Valley and the South in a separate, earlier outbreak—occurring on April 1 and 2—which included three deadly tornadoes in Kentucky, Alabama, and Tennessee. The town of Campbellsburg, Kentucky, northeast of Louisville, had large portions destroyed by an F3 tornado after an earlier outbreak. Between the two outbreaks, an additional tornado was reported in Indiana on the morning of April 3, several hours before the official start of the outbreak. On April 3, severe weather watches were issued south of the Great Lakes, while in portions of the Upper Midwest, snow was reported, with heavy rain falling across central Michigan and most of Ontario.


title: 1974 Xenia tornado

text: The tornado formed near Bellbrook, Ohio, southwest of Xenia, at about 4:30 pm EDT. It began as a moderate-sized tornado, later intensifying after moving northeast at about 50 mph (80 km/h). The tornado exhibited a multiple-vortex structure, which was described as a "pair of funnels coming together", and became very large as it approached town. Gil Whitney, the weather specialist for WHIO-TV in Dayton, alerted viewers in Montgomery and Greene Counties (where Xenia is located) about the possible tornado, broadcasting the radar image of the supercell with a pronounced hook echo on the rear flank of the storm several minutes before it struck. The storm was visible on radar because of raindrops wrapping around the circulation. The massive tornado went into the western part of Xenia, completely flattening the Windsor Park and Arrowhead subdivisions at an intensity of F5 and sweeping away entire rows of brick homes with little debris left behind. Extensive wind-rowing of debris occurred in nearby fields.


title: 1974 Xenia tornado

text: When the storm reached central Xenia at 4:40 pm, apartment buildings, homes, businesses, churches, and schools—including Xenia High School—were destroyed. At this time, the tornado was videotaped and was observed to have "as many as five subvortices merging into one" tornado. Students in the school, practicing for a play, took cover in the main hallway seconds before the tornado dropped a school bus onto the stage where they had been practicing and extensively damaged the school building. Several railroad cars were lifted and blown over as the tornado passed over a moving Penn Central freight train in the center of town. It toppled headstones in Cherry Grove Cemetery, then moved through the downtown business district, passing west of the courthouse, which sustained some exterior damage. Numerous businesses in downtown Xenia were heavily damaged or destroyed, and several people were killed at the A&W Root Beer stand as the building was flattened. At the time, this was the state's highest tornadic death toll for a single building since 1953. Past downtown, the tornado continued into the Pinecrest Garden district.


title: 1974 Xenia tornado

text: The Xenia tornado was recorded on film by one resident, and its sound was recorded on tape by a Mr. Brokeshoulder from inside an apartment complex. Before the tornado hit the building, the resident left the tape recorder on, and it was found after the storm. At the same time, a few blocks away, 3 minutes and 21 seconds of footage were captured by 16-year-old Xenia resident Bruce Boyd with a "Super-8" 8mm movie camera, a pre-1973 model without sound recording capability. The footage was later paired with the nearby tape recording. Boyd's film shows multiple vortices within the larger circulation as the storm swept through Xenia. Upon exiting, the tornado passed through Wilberforce, heavily damaging several campus and residential buildings of Wilberforce University. Central State University sustained considerable damage, and a water tower was toppled. Afterwards, the tornado weakened before dissipating in Clark County near South Vienna, traveling approximately 30 miles (48 km). Its maximum width was a half-mile (0.8 km) in Xenia. The same parent storm spawned a weaker tornado northeast of Columbus in Franklin County.


title: 1974 Xenia tornado

text: President Richard Nixon made an unannounced visit to Xenia a few days later. It would be the first and only city affected by the 1974 Super Outbreak that he would visit. Upon inspecting the damage, he said: "As I look back over the disasters, I saw the earthquake in Anchorage in 1964; I saw the hurricanes... Hurricane Camille in 1969 down in Mississippi, and I saw Hurricane Agnes in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. And it is hard to tell the difference among them all, but I would say in terms of destruction, just total devastation, this is the worst I have seen." President Nixon immediately declared Xenia a disaster area. Although the Federal Disaster Relief Act was already introduced in 1973, it had not passed Congress at the time. The 1974 Super Outbreak disaster was a catalyst for accelerated passage of the act through Congress in 1974, according to Nixon. It took several months for the city to recover from the tornado, with the help of the Red Cross, the Ohio National Guard, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development assisting the recovery efforts. By December 1974, federal and state assistance programs raised a total of $34.4 million. Shortly after, the Department of Transportation initiated a public transportation unit—X-line—to assist locals who had lost their primary means of transportation. Prior to the 1974 tornado, Xenia did not have any form of public transportation system.


title: 1974 Xenia tornado

text: Following the 1974 Super Outbreak, NOAA attempted to implement an expansion of its Weather Radio, believing it would prevent the same devastating destruction in the event of another natural disaster. Unfortunately, the weather radio system received little attention throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The National Weather Service lacked funds and staff, leaving many cities to their own devices when it came to tornado preparedness. However, Xenia took it upon itself to ensure that in the event of another tornado, its citizens would be ready. Before the 1974 storm, the city had no tornado sirens. After the F5 tornado hit on April 3, 1974, ten sirens were installed across the area. Every building is required to have a clearly marked tornado shelter, and employees are required to know the proper actions to take during an emergency. Many of the buildings that were rebuilt immediately following the tornado took on the appearance of "concrete fortresses," focusing on safety rather than aesthetic. The Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness (OCSWA) was established in 1978 with the mission of "...educating Ohioans about the natural disasters that typically affect the state..." Every spring, the OCSWA hosts Spring Severe Weather Awareness Week, which encourages schools and families to openly discuss disaster plans. Additionally, there is a statewide tornado drill held on the Wednesday of that week. In the state of Ohio, principals of local schools are required to ensure their students receive routine emergency protocol training six times per school year. Outside the school system, it is not uncommon to hear a tornado siren being tested weekly at noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Saturdays.


title: San Fruttuoso (Monza)

text: San Fruttuoso is a district of Monza, in Italy, which is bordered to the east by the districts of St. Joseph and Triante, on the south by the municipality of Cinisello Balsamo and west by the municipality of Muggiò. Administratively it is included in District 4 of the Municipality of Monza, together with the districts of Triante, St. Joseph and St. Charles. There are 33,863 people residing in the district equal to 27.88% of the total population. Their average age is 44 years while the percentage of elderly over 65 years is 22.51%. With these numbers the District 4 is the most populous of all the districts as Monza and by extension is not dissimilar from the others, has a population density second only to the central area of the city. The presence of foreigners settled in the city is growing faster and for this district the number of resident foreigners is 1,818 which represents 5.35% of the population of the district. Among the foreign nationalities most represented this constituency are the Ecuadorian, Romanian and Bulgarian.


title: Welcome to Reality (EP)

text: The Adolescents lineup of singer Tony Brandenburg (who used the stage name Tony Cadena), bassist Steve Soto, drummer Casey Royer, and guitarist brothers Rikk and Frank Agnew released their debut album, Adolescents, in March 1981 on Frontier Records. Though Rikk Agnew had contributed heavily to the album, tensions between him and the other band members were leading to frequent arguments. Just a few months after the album's release, during a performance at the Starwood in West Hollywood, he abruptly threw his guitar and walked offstage, quitting the band. "Rikk and I began to have conflicting ideas and Rikk left, citing musical differences", said Brandenburg. He was replaced by Pat Smear, formerly of the Germs. The band was planning their first tour, to begin late that summer and last into the fall. "We needed to tour to survive", recalled Brandenburg. "We had been banned from every club in Hollywood that could hold us—the Starwood, the Roxy, and the Whisky—and a lot of people wouldn't go to Pasadena (Perkins Palace) or East L.A. (The Vex) to see us". Smear, however, did not want to tour, and so left the band in June after only three months to allow them to find a guitar player who would tour.


title: Welcome to Reality (EP)

text: The Adolescents lineup of Brandenburg (now using the stage name Tony Montana), Soto, Royer, and Rikk and Frank Agnew played a reunion show in April 1986 at Fender's Ballroom in Long Beach, California which led to the band re-forming. They played more shows and began working on material for a new album, but Frank Agnew left the band after a few months and was replaced by his younger brother Alfie, then Royer left the group that August and was replaced by Sandy Hanson, formerly of the Mechanics. "Casey wanted to keep D.I. going, and I lost interest", said Frank. The new lineup recorded the Brats in Battalions album that summer, including new recordings of all three songs from Welcome to Reality. Songs from Welcome to Reality are performed on each of the band's live albums: All three songs appear on Live 1981 & 1986 , "Welcome to Reality" and "Losing Battle" appear on Return to the Black Hole , and "Welcome to Reality" and "Things Start Moving" appear on Live at the House of Blues . The Welcome to Reality tracks were re-released on the compact disc version of Adolescents published by Frontier Records in 1990.


title: Newport Mercury

text: By the middle of the eighteenth century, the Colony of Rhode Island, and the city of Newport within it, had secured their role as the predominant carrier of enslaved Africans to the shores of what would become the United States. In fact, historian Jay Coughtry has said that what we know as the 'American slave trade' may be better termed the 'Rhode Island slave trade.' Knowing this, it is no surprise that Newport's Black population, by percentage of total population, was the largest in New England. While in the eighteenth century, several of the Africans and African Americans in Newport were free and even owned property (see: Kingston Pease), the vast majority of them were enslaved, forced to labor in the seaside market economy. While these free and enslaved people organized together publicly in the latter half of the eighteenth century in the form of mutual aid societies like the Free African Union Society, the historical record also reveals countless instances of Black people resisting their enslavement by running away.


title: Newport Mercury

text: These ads were originally meant as a tool to capture people fleeing from their enslavement. Now, we can now use them as a vital resource to learn more about the enslaved population of Newport, Rhode Island, and New England at large, information that other historical records often leave out. Very specifically, these ads reveal the persistence of Black people to resist their captivity in the North, and their drive to change their situations for something better for themselves. The gendered nature of flight as a means of resistance is also revealed–the record reveals that Black female runaways were almost non-existent. Historian Stephanie Camp cites "family responsibilities" as a reason why enslaved women were often hesitant to flee plantations in the South. However, a 1792 runaway ad in the Mercury described "a Negro Woman, named Kate Grealy … aged about 22 years" who had fled with her "young Child 3 Weeks old," revealing how these responsibilities could also lead to flight, rather than prevent it.


title: Semuliki National Park

text: The forests in the park are of great socio-economic importance to the human communities that live near the park. The local people practise subsistence agriculture and use the park's forests to supplement their livelihoods. Some of the products they obtain from the forests include fruits and vegetables, herbal medicines, and construction materials. The local population is increasing at a rate of 3.4 percent per year. The high population density and declining agricultural productivity combined with an unavailability of alternative sources of income means that the local population is dependent on the park's resources. The forest also plays an important cultural and spiritual role in local people's lives. The forests are also the home of approximately 100 Great Lakes Twa people, an indigenous community who still largely live as hunter-gatherers. Because tourism provides the Basua people with an additional source of income, park visitors can learn more about the Basua people's culture and history at the park and see handmade crafts that they have produced.


title: Tryphiodorus

text: The poem begins with an invocation to Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry (lines 1–5). The narrative is introduced with a summary of the dire situation of the troops of the Greeks and Trojans (lines 6-39): both are mined by the tiredness of years of fighting and heavy casualties. Then the Greeks capture the Trojan seer and following his advice call Neoptolemus (Achilles' son) to join their lines and steal the Palladion from Troy (lines 40–56). The construction of the Trojan Horse follows and Triphiodorus gives a long description (lines 57–107). The Greeks have an assembly in which Odysseus convinces the most brave fighters to hide with him in the horse and the rest of the troops to pretend they are fleeing from Troy, while preparing to come back the following night (108-234). The following morning the Trojans discover the disappearance of the Achaean army, inspect their camp and admire the Wooden Horse (235-57). Sinon appears before them covered in blood and convinces Priam to take the horse into their citadel to win Athena's attention and avoid her helping the Greeks to return (258-303). The Trojans transport the horse and break the otherwise indestructible walls of Troy to bring it into their citadel (304-57). Cassandra tries to make them come into their senses but Priam orders to lock her up (358-443). While they are celebrating the end of the war, Aphrodite tells Helen to join Menelaus (who is hiding in the horse). Helen goes to the temple of Athena where the horse is kept and calls the names of the wives of the hidden heroes, so as to tempt them to come out. One of them, Anticlus, is about to give in forcing Odysseus to strangle him, while Athena orders Helen to go to her room and light a torch to call the Greek fleet back to Troy for the final battle (454-98a). While the Trojans are overcome by a deep slumber, the gods abandon Troy and Helen and Sinon light torches to guide the return of the Greek fleet (498b-521). The fleet arrives and the hidden warriors leave the horse, giving start to a long night of fighting, full of dramatic episodes (506-663). The poet then decides to put a stop to the narrative and conclude (664-7). The poem finishes with the a brief description of how at the beginning of the new day, the victors check for survivors and booty, set Troy on fire, sacrifice Polyxena to appease the spirit of Achilles, distribute the booty and leave for good (668-91).


title: Carter Faith

text: Although she grew up in a non-musical family, at a young age, she was inspired by her grandfather's country music cassette tapes. She taught herself piano and guitar and at age 16, she began writing lyrics, inspired by the end of a relationship. She attended Grammy Camp in Nashville where she performed at the Bluebird Café and was a featured performer in the 2016 Thanksgiving Day Parade in Charlotte. In June 2018, she graduated from Cannon School. In the fall of 2018, she enrolled in a songwriting program at Belmont University. In September 2018, she sang The Star-Spangled Banner at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. In 2019, she signed with Pound It Out Loud Entertainment. Faith's first song titled "Leaving Tennessee" debuted in July 2020, and was followed by "Sinners in a Small Town" and "Easy Pill" later that year. In October 2020, she signed an artist development deal with Altadena, a record company founded by busbee. "The Dusk Session", which included acoustic versions of "Easy Pill" and "Leaving Tennessee", was released in April 2021. In July 2021, she made her first performance at the Ryman Auditorium. On August 20, 2021, she released her debut EP Let Love Be Love. In September 2021, she was the opening act for The Avett Brothers at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. She graduated from Belmont University in December 2021.


title: Obsession (video game)

text: Obsession was first showcased in a playable state at the 1994 Bristol Atari Show and initially slated for an October 1994 launch. The game was first released by Unique Development Sweden for the Atari STe on December 2, 1994. It was also distributed in France by Frontier Software. The title was later ported to the Amiga by UDS and released on June 1, 1995. A conversion for the Amiga 1200 featuring a new table and a multiball mechanic was planned but never released. According to Tord Jansson in a 2018 interview, work on Atari Falcon and PC port began after the release of the Amiga version but the latter version evolved into a new project with new tables and features titled Absolute Pinball, while the rights to the unreleased Falcon version were sold to a French company. Jansson also stated that Atari Corporation gave the team an Atari Jaguar development kit which he and Ulrik Lindahl, another programmer at Unique Development Sweden spent time with it and created a conversion of Obsession with only three out of the four tables to the Jaguar in a few days except the music and sound effects. However, UDS decided not to support the system due to its low sales and sent back the development kit to Atari Corp.


title: Obsession (video game)

text: Obsession garnered critical acclaim from reviewers when it was released on the Atari STe. ST Review's Tina Hackett praised the visual presentation of each table for pushing the limits of the STe hardware, sound, controls and addictive gameplay but criticized the lack of a multiball system and a double set of flippers on the tables. German magazine Atari Inside commended Unique Development Sweden for creating a "great" pinball simulator, praising the ball and table physics as well as the overall audiovisual presentation. ST Format's Trenton Webb also commended Unique Development for making use of the STe hardware, praising the physics, graphics, sound, speed and accessibility, regarding it as one of the best games for the computer alongside Zero-5 but criticized the "Ball & Bats" table for being dull and relying heavily on its main gimmick. STart Micro's Arnaud Pignard gave positive remarks to the colorful graphics, playability and soundtrack as well. Despite having positive reviews, Tord Jansson stated that very few copies were sold due to its late release on the STe.


title: Mohammad Dadkan

text: But Dadgan's darkest time came at the start of season 2005–2006, when Rah Ahan FC, one of the teams who were promoted to IPL from lower division used false documents on one of their players. According to the IRIFF's laws, the team who uses false documents is known guilty and the results in all the games that they used that player should change to 3–0 to the opponent. By applying this rule Rah Ahan FC should have remained in lower division and Sanat Naft FC should have been promoted. But after a long weeks of debate behind closed doors at IRIFF, the disciplinary committee announced that Rah Ahan FC is guilty, however they will be promoted to IPL. Later, one of the members of the committee revealed that Dadgan had been putting pressure on the committee to keep Rah Ahan FC in the IPL. There were many other incidents when IRIFF simply didn't apply the rules, especially when the decisions involved one of few rich and powerful teams in the IPL. Dadgan's involvement in these cases is undeniable.


title: Tony Parisi (wrestler)

text: In December 1967, Pugliese teamed with Pedro Morales in the California-based World Wrestling Association (WWA). They won the WWA World Tag Team Championship by defeating Buddy Austin and Freddie Blassie. While defending the title, Pugliese also returned to the WWWF and began competing for the World Championship Wrestling in Australia. He teamed with Mario Milano to win the IWA World Tag Team Championship in April 1968. The team lost the belts to Skull Murphy and Killer Karl Kox in May, but Pugliese joined up with Dominic DeNucci to regain the title later that month. Although they dropped the title to Killer Kowalski and Bill Miller in June, Pugliese found a new partner in Don Leo Jonathan to regain the title on February 21, 1969. Two weeks later, The Spoiler and Pugliese's former partner Mario Milano (who had turned on Pugliese in the middle of a tag match with Spoiler and Kox to join their manager, Gary Hart) won the belts, but Pugliese and Jonathan regained them in a rematch later that month. Returning to the United States, Pugliese formed another tag team in Big Time Wrestling, a Texas-based division of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). He teamed with Wahoo McDaniel to win the NWA Texas Tag Team Championship. Records from the time period in this promotion are unclear about the dates and title lineage, but there is a record of Pugliese and McDaniel holding the belts in 1969. The following year, Pugliese held the IWA World Tag Team Championship for the final time, as he teamed with Mark Lewin to win the belts from Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson on May 15, 1970. They defended the title for just over a month before losing it to Kurt and Karl Von Steiger.


title: Tony Parisi (wrestler)

text: Much of Pugliese's later career was spent wrestling as Tony Parisi in the Montreal-based Lutte Internationale (also known as International Wrestling). He traveled throughout the province, competing primarily as a tag team wrestler. In 1982, he teamed with Gino Brito to win the Canadian International Tag Team Championship from Gilles Poisson and Sailor White. Although they dropped the title to Pierre Lefebvre and Michel Dubois, they were able to regain the belts the following January from Lefebvre and Pat Patterson. Lefebvre teamed with Billy Robinson to win the title back, but Parisi and Brito won the title for the third time on December 12, 1983 from then-champions Lefebvre and Patterson. Once again, Lefebvre took on a new partner, this time Frenchy Martin, to win the belts from Parisi and Brito the following month. Parisi's final reign with the title began on February 20, 1984, when he joined up with Dino Bravo to regain the belts. Their title reign lasted for several months before Lefebvre and Martin defeated Parisi and Bravo to win back the championship.


title: Vpu protein

text: Two main functions have been assigned to the Vpu protein. The first function is known to induce degradation of the viral receptor molecule CD4, and the second function is to enhance the release of newly formed virions from the cell surface. Vpu accomplishes these two functions through two distinct mechanisms. In the case of CD4, Vpu acts as a molecular adaptor to connect CD4 to an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex resulting in CD4 degradation by cellular proteasomes. This requires signals located in Vpu's cytoplasmic domain. Enhancement of virus release on the other hand involves the neutralization of a cellular host factor, BST-2 (also known as CD317, HM1.24, or tetherin) and requires Vpu's TM domain. however, the exact mechanism of how Vpu counteracts BST-2 is still unclear. In the absence of Vpu, tetherin binds to the viral envelope and ties it to the cell membrane and other viral particles, impeding release of the viral particles. Recent data suggest that the BST-2 transmembrane domain is crucial for interference by Vpu. The interaction of Vpu and BST-2 results in the downregulation of BST-2 from the cell surface.


title: Vpu protein

text: Viral protein "u" (Vpu) is an oligomeric, 81-amino acid type I membrane protein (16 kDa) that is translated from vpu-env bicistronic mRNA. The N-terminus of Vpu encoding the transmembrane (TM) anchor represents an active domain important for the regulation of virus release but not CD4 degradation. The C-terminal cytoplasmic domain (54 residues) that contains a pair of serine residues (at positions 52 and 56) constitutively phosphorylated by casein kinase 2. The phosphorylation of two serine residues in the cytoplasmic domain is critical for CD4 degradation in the ER. Based on 2D 1H NMR spectroscopy of a peptide corresponding to the cytoplasmic domain of Vpu, it was proposed that the cytoplasmic domain of Vpu contains two α-helical domains, helix-1 and helix-2, which are connected by an unstructured region containing the two conserved phosphoseryl residues. In addition, computer models predict a third α-helical domain in the transmembrane domain of Vpu, which could play an important role in the formation of ion channels.


title: When's It Gonna Happen

text: Townes stated that she wrote "When's It Gonna Happen" because "it's a real and true window into my life right now and how I feel sometimes about being single". She added that "there must be others who feel the same way I do," which is why she wanted to "create something that would speak to them too". She wrote the track while on a Zoom call with her co-writers and friends Steph Jones and Stephen Wrabel, drawing inspiration from her "getting a bunch of invitations in the mail to my friend's weddings and how it feels like they are all getting married and having babies," with the writers posing the question: 'what if we wrote a song about what it feels like to not be in that same spot right now?'. While touching on these real-life fears and emotions, she also wanted it to "have an uplifting spirit that brings us together in terms of something we all go through in our lives". Townes initially shared a snippet of the song on the social media platform TikTok in December of 2020, and received a large stream of support and messages from fans who felt they could personally relate to the lyrics, prompting her to release the song.


title: The Brain That Wouldn't Die

text: In 2024, a new musical adaptation titled The Brain That Wouldn't Die! (The Musical) will premiere at the Riverside Arts Center in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Produced by Star Jelly Performance Company, the production features an all-original book, music, and lyrics written by Carla Margolis.

The musical retains the campy, tongue-in-cheek spirit of the original film while delivering a fresh perspective through Margolis's original score and comedic lyrics. With a professional cast and live musicians, the production highlights dark humor, bizarre science, and dramatic musical numbers. The Brain That Wouldn't Die! (The Musical) was designed to be a unique blend of horror, comedy, and musical theater, providing audiences with an immersive experience. The show is set to run from October 25 to November 2, 2024.


title: Rockwell J. Flint

text: Born in Williamstown, Orange County, Vermont, Flint moved to Wisconsin in 1855 and settled in Marquette County. In 1860, he moved to Portage and learned the printer's trade at The State Register newspaper. During the Civil War, Flint served in the 23rd Wisconsin Infantry Regiment and was a quartermaster sergeant in the United States Signal Corps. Flint moved to Menomonie, Dunn County, Wisconsin in 1871. Flint was the editor and publisher of the Dunn County News. He also published the Prescott Journal. From 1878 to 1880, Flint served as chairman of the Menomonie Town Board. In 1894 and 1895, Flint served as mayor of Menomonie and was on the Dunn County Board of Supervisors.

title: Norma Chinchilla

text: Norma Jean Stoltz was born in 1945, in Washington state to Norma E. (née Beierlein) and Fred W. Stoltz. Her father was an engineer, and Stoltz had two sisters, Margaret and Kathryne. Her grandparents were German immigrants and there was a strong identification with immigrant concerns in the family. They moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where Stoltz graduated from James Logan High School in Union City, California in 1962, and continued her education at Raymond College in Stockton. After completing her undergraduate studies, she was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in 1965, and studied political science and sociology at the University of San Carlos Law School in Guatemala City for a year. Having been radicalized by the political events of the 1960s, she chose Guatemala over the objections of the US embassy. Of her time in Guatemala, Stoltz stated that it further radicalized her, as the students were rebelling against policies of the military dictatorship, which included discrimination against and genocide of the Indigenous Maya population, and assassinations of students and activists by the regime.


title: Norma Chinchilla

text: Stoltz earned a law degree in Guatemala in 1966, and later that year, she enrolled in graduate school at the University of Wisconsin, in Madison, Wisconsin. During her studies, she met Jorge Ramiro Chinchilla, a Guatemalan immigrant who studied at the University of San Carlos and was later employed at the University of Madison computing center. The couple married on the campus of Raymond College at the University of the Pacific in 1968. After completing her masters degree in sociology, Chinchilla began pursuing a PhD. She was involved with student activists and helped organize seminars and hold teach-ins on Marxism. At the time, there was only one woman on the faculty, and sexism by fellow male students and faculty members was a common experience for women students. In 1970, Chinchilla was hired as an assistant professor at Pitzer College, a liberal arts university, in Claremont, California. She was introduced to the Los Angeles Group for Latin American Solidarity by colleagues Don and Marjorie Bray. In an interview, Chinchilla remarked that she was shocked when she was fired from this first job after the first year teaching, because of her activism. She moved to Chile, during the Salvador Allende presidency, and completed her PhD research there between 1972 and 1973.


title: Norma Chinchilla

text: After completing her PhD, Chinchilla began working at University of California, Irvine (UCI) and in 1974, along with other academics who were active in the Los Angeles Group for Latin American Solidarity or Union of Radical Latin Americanists, she co-founded the journal Latin American Perspectives. At UCI, she and mathematician Janet Williams designed a women's studies curricula in 1976, which included courses in social science, biology, and literature. Chinchilla admitted that as instructors, she and her students learned together as during her own education she was not taught about women or female role models. Although she and Williams worked with other colleagues to design the interdisciplinary courses, some of their fellow academics were cautioned not to participate in the program. Some of their male colleagues strongly opposed the creation of the first women's studies program at UCI, fearing that it would radicalize students. In the early 1980s, Chinchilla founded the Guatemala Information Center in Los Angeles, to provide assistance to immigrants new to the area. After teaching for eight years, she was embroiled in a tenure dispute, as some of her colleagues filed an ethics dispute against her, which Chinchilla later said was because women were forbidden tenure if they had children. She also said that much of the controversy had to do with her teaching the women's studies courses.


title: Norma Chinchilla

text: After losing her tenure battle, Chinchilla began working at California State University, Long Beach, as an associate professor in 1983, where she jointly taught sociology and women's studies. Throughout her teaching career, she continued her activism, for example, attending the Latin American and Caribbean Feminist Encuentros in the 1980s and 1990s, and speaking out against anti-immigration sentiments regarding admittance of migrants to school systems in 2014. She became a full professor and served as director of the women's studies program. In addition to her academic work, from 1988, she served on the board of directors of the Inter-Hemisphere Education Resource Center. She also was co-chair of the Women's Task Force for the Latin American Studies Association and served as chair of several committees of the American Sociological Association in the 1990s. California State Long Beach honored her with the Distinguished Faculty Scholarly and Creative Achievement Awards for the academic term 1996–1997. She received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Contributions to Central American Studies in 2012 from the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies at Austin and Center for Mexican American Studies at Arlington, both part of the University of Texas system, for her activism and academic work on behalf of Central America. In 2017, she was awarded the American Sociological Association's Julian Samora Distinguished Career Award, in recognition of her work to include studies on Central America as part of Latin American studies curricula.


title: Norma Chinchilla

text: Some of Chinchilla's early works evaluated Latin American labor markets and how the development of industry drew large numbers of uneducated women to the cities, where they worked as poor domestics. Rather than solving economic problems or expanding women's spheres, industrial development, instead, solidified women's place in the home and relegated them to be marginal members of society. Her research into Latin American and Caribbean women found that, as was typical elsewhere, women's contributions were ignored and undervalued. She stated that in the rare instance a woman's story was recorded, she was recorded and treated as an "honorary ", because influential women were deemed as exceptions and not representative of other women. In evaluating women's contributions in Latin America, Chinchilla uncovered evidence that women had always been involved in socio-political movements, typically those that impacted and improved their ability to complete the basic responsibilities of women in society. Her work showed that in varying historical periods, women across social class hierarchies, networked to protest social injustice and change society. She put forth the argument that the lack of knowledge of early feminist movements, particularly the organizing work done by radical, socialist, and anarchist women in the region, prevented the emergence of Second-wave feminism. Chinchilla concluded that lack of progress on women's issues, by liberal regimes in the region, pushed women into radical and anti-colonial, nationalist groups. She also conducted research into women who participated in the Cuban and Nicaraguan Revolutions, concluding from a Marxist feminist perspective, that while women's conditions and opportunities were generally improved under socialism, rampant sexism by revolutionary leaders created policies that impacted women's empowerment.


title: Norma Chinchilla

text: Chinchilla co-authored several works with Nora Hamilton of the University of Southern California. Some of these evaluated how civil and political crises in Central America had led to recessions and mass displacement, as well as migration. Their major collaboration on Seeking Community in a Global City: Guatemalans and Salvadorans in Los Angeles written in 2001 detailed the transformation of the economy and neighborhoods of Los Angeles in the 1980s and 1990s when a large migration of Central Americans moved to the metropolis. Chinchilla and Hamilton's analysis showed that many of the workers were employed as informal laborers, working as day laborers, garment workers, janitors or domestic workers or street vendors. The book examined the difficult path Central Americans had in organizing and collaborating among themselves to find organizations which could assist them with migrant matters. Because they lacked the resources to visit and stay in contact with families abroad and many were undocumented, they either had to create networks themselves, or locate sympathetic activists from the Sanctuary or Chicano Movements to help with labor and immigration questions. Violence and instability in their own countries also prevented many from returning home, as they worried about personal safety issues. In her review of Seeking Community in a Global City, Tamar Diana Wilson called Chinchilla and Hamilton's book, "exemplary" for its efforts to highlight immigrant rights, migrant work organization, and their self-help networks" and recommended it as a model to examine other urban ethnic groups. In 2002, Chinchilla and Hamilton shared the American Political Science Association's The Best Book Award, in the category of Race/Ethnicity and Foreign Policy/Globalization for Seeking Community in a Global City.

He saw his streak of double-figure tackle games end at three when he was credited for three stops against North Texas. In that game, he made his debut as the Owls' punt returner, fielding a pair for no gain, then returned his third for a gain of 21- He got injured early in the Tulsa game and did not record a tackle. He missed the Southern Miss game, breaking a streak of 24 consecutive games played (23 starts). He also missed the Tulane game, and then returned to action against UTEP and led the Owls with eight tackles. He closed out the regular season by recording his fifth double-figure tackle game of the year with 13 vs. Houston. It was his ninth career double-figure tackle game.


title: Andrew Sendejo

text: As a senior, Sendejo was named to Phil Steele's Midseason All C-USA Third-team. He was able to play in only 7 games, after his season was cut short by a high ankle injury that required surgery. He was tied for sixth in the nation with 6.4 unassisted tackles per game at the time of his injury. He moved into a tie for second on the Owls' career tackle chart with nine stops at ECU, and jumped four spots on the tackling chart with 17 tackles vs. Navy, matching the second highest game total of his career. It was his 11th career double-figure tackle game. He was the NCAA career active leader with 216 career solo tackles (Sean Weatherspoon of Missouri was second with 199) before he got hurt.

title: Alhambra (board game)

text: The game consists of a deck of "currency cards" of various values in four currencies (suits) and a bag of "building tiles" of various prices, as well as a number of boards (a currency market, a building market, a reserve board for each player and a scoring track). Six of the building tiles are "fountain" tiles; one is given to each player to form the starting point of their palace, or "Alhambra", and the rest of the building tiles are placed in the bag. Each player is then dealt currency cards until the total value of cards in their hand is greater than or equal to twenty. The remaining currency cards are distributed into five piles, and two special scoring cards are inserted into the second and fourth piles. The five piles are then placed in order to form the currency deck. Four currency cards are drawn and placed face up to form the currency market, and four building tiles are drawn and placed face up on the four spaces of the building market. The player with the fewest currency cards in their hand takes the first turn; if tied, the tied player with the lower total value of currency cards in their hand takes the first turn.


title: The Republic of Ireland Act 1948

text: The Irish view of things was not shared by the other members of the Commonwealth. Until Ireland brought the Act into force, it was still regarded by the members as forming part of "His Majesty's dominions". When Ireland adopted its 1937 Constitution, which made no reference to the King, the United Kingdom Government announced that it and the other Commonwealth Governments were " prepared to treat … Ireland, as a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations". After all, in their view, the King was still empowered by Ireland to fulfill certain functions as Ireland's statutory agent under the External Relations Act 1936. With that Irish Act now being repealed, there was no longer any basis, however tenuous, to consider Ireland as continuing to have a King or to be part of His Majesty's dominions and therefore within the Commonwealth. In their view, Ireland had now declared itself a republic for the first time bringing its membership of the Commonwealth to an end. Ironically, the Taoiseach chose to announce the repeal of the External Relations Act while on an official visit to Canada, the same country whose constitutional status had been the basis for the establishment of the Irish Free State.


title: The Republic of Ireland Act 1948

text: The Book of Common Prayer of the all-island Church of Ireland was modelled on that of the Church of England and included three "state prayers": for "our most gracious Sovereign Lord, King George", the royal family, and the Commonwealth. The church was historically associated with the Protestant Ascendancy and had been the established church until 1871; its "southern" membership (one-third of the total) was mostly unionist before 1922 and pro-British thereafter. In late 1948, archbishops John Gregg and Arthur Barton devised replacement prayers to be used in the republic, at first temporarily until the 1949 general synod would update the Book of Common Prayer. A grassroots campaign led by Hugh Maude of Clondalkin opposed any change, and the 1950 synod authorised a compromise, whereby the old prayers remained in Northern Ireland, and the republic used a "Prayer for the President and all in authority" and "A Prayer for King George the Sixth … in whose dominions we are not accounted strangers" . Likewise, the liturgy for morning and evening prayers includes "O Lord, save the Queen" in Northern Ireland and "O Lord, guide and defend our rulers" in the republic. Miriam Moffitt notes that Maude's supporters were mostly older church members.


title: Spanish cuisine

text: Moors also developed the basis for the art of pastry-making and introduced escabeche, a food preservation technique relying on vinegar. Dishes like ajo blanco, alboronía, alajú, hallulla, albóndigas, mojama, arrope, were some of the many legacies of Moorish cuisine. Although Muslim religion did not allow alcoholic drinks, the consumption of wine was widespread as the Qur'anic precepts never got to overrule the preexisting traditions. There are many accounts of the "drinking chats" of Abd al-Rahman II, Abd al-Rahman III and Almanzor. Almodrote (a formerly popular sauce preparation out of vogue since the late 17th century) was a Sephardic recipe in origin. Observing the kashrut regulations, Jews and judaizantes opted for blood-drained meat without fat, outright rejecting bacon. Potajes were an important part of the Jewish cuisine in the Middle Ages, most notably adafina, a local name for a ḥamin dish, along with other Jewish culinary legacies in Spain. The cookbook history in the country could be traced back to works such as the Llibre de Sent Soví and Ruperto de Nola's Llibre de Coch , both written in the Catalan language. Other of the earliest cooking books in pre-modern Iberia are the Fiḍālat al-Jiwān fī Ṭayyibāt al-Ṭaʿām wa-l-Alwān by Murcia-born Ibn Razīn al-Tujībī and the anonymous Kitāb al-Ṭabikh fī al-Maghrib wa al-Andalus fī ʽAṣr al-Muwaḥḥidīn, li-muʽallif majhūl, written in Arabic.


title: Voluntary Sports Societies of the Soviet Union

text: Already in the first half of 19th century sports schools, clubs, societies (sailing and rowing, fencing, swimming, ice skating, cycling, and others) appeared in Saint-Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev and other cities of the Russian Empire. The yacht clubs of Moscow and Saint-Petersburg figured among the first such societies. Along with the development of the sport societies, official sports competitions started. The Great Soviet Encyclopedia states that usually those sports clubs and unions were chartered and financed by representatives of the bourgeoisie and of the nobility, and that access to them for students and working youth "was extremely limited". At the end of the 19th and start of the 20th centuries there appeared workers' sports organizations across the cities of the Russian Empire. Prominent roles in the development of the Russian sport were played by the "Petersburg's Circle of Sports Enthusiasts" , the "Russian Gymnastics Society " also known as RGO Sokol , the "Petersburg Society of Skating Enthusiasts" , the "Circle of Athletic Enthusiasts" , and others.


title: Bobby Halpern

text: At 20, he was convicted of armed robbery and served a 4-year prison term. While serving his term, he read the autobiography of heavyweight boxer Floyd Patterson, Victory Over Myself, and decided to become a professional boxer. After being released from prison, he became a professional boxer in 1958, and won two fights to earn a match with undefeated heavyweight prospect Tom McNeeley on December 19, 1958 in New York. Halpern lost the fight by decision. At the age of 25, Halpern was convicted of robbery, assault, and kidnapping, and sentenced to 20 years to life. He was released from prison in 1975 at the age of 42, after serving 17 years. He earned the nickname, "The Hebrew Hammer" in his first comeback fight on November 10, 1976, after he knocked out 260 pound Terry Lee Kidd with one punch. However, 14 days later, Halpern was knocked out in two rounds by future World Heavyweight Champion Trevor Berbick. Halpern racked seven consecutive victories, 6 by knockout. His knockouts over Freddy McKay (KO 3) and "Diego" Joe Roberson (KO 7) were featured in Sports Illustrated.


title: Applehead Man

text: The album was received favorably by critics, who tended to view it in hindsight as a flawed example of Trip Shakespeare's potential, and generally considered a forerunner to their second album, Are You Shakespearienced? Timothy Monger of AllMusic noted that the album's cheerful psychedelia was out of step with the times in 1986, saying that the band's "ebullient art rock was extremely literate and melodic with complex harmonies, freewheeling guitar solos, and a heady Northern romanticism that was at odds with the grim post-hardcore of Hüsker Dü or the shambling, earthy roots rock of the Replacements." Michael Toland of Blurt said that the album "debuts a fresh, exciting young trio playing power pop with distinctive personality (and) a seemingly bottomless bag of appealing songs." The Chicago Reader's Bill Wyman disliked Applehead Man, calling it "an almost unlistenable excursion into overearnest art rock." (He was more positive towards Are You Shakespearienced?.) Scott Schinder of Trouser Press called Applehead Man "a spunky debut, with stylishly visceral lyrics and inventive melodies," though he said that the band did not "yet possess the expertise to do full justice to Matt Wilson's surprisingly sophisticated compositions."


title: Prevention of concussions

text: Prevention of undiagnosed and repeat injury is of importance in sports-related concussions. Every three minutes, a child in the United States is treated for a sports-related concussion. Between 2010 and 2014, sports-related concussions experienced a 500% uptick. Rapid sideline testing using short neuropsychological tests that assess attention and memory function have been proven useful and accurate. The Maddocks questions and the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) are examples of validated sideline evaluation tools. The Return To Play (RTP) protocol aims to decrease repeat concussions within a short time frame to minimize second impact syndrome. It assures players who experience a concussion have complete cognitive and clinical recovery before returning to play. Best practices of RTP involve graduated activity intensification with each step taking at least 24 hours to assure full rehabilitation within one week (includes asymptomatic at rest and during exercise). In cases in which resources (i.e. neuropsychologists, neuroimaging) are available on-site, RTP may be more rapid. Baseline assessments, performed before concussion occurs, provide a comparison from which to measure severity of post-concussive symptoms. However, they have not been shown to decrease risk of injury. The U.S. based nonprofit National Safety Council included state-by-state concussion prevention efforts for youth-sports related concussions in its 2017 State of Safety report.


title: 1972 Robinsons department store fire

text: The fire occurred at 09:55 while employees were working inside the department store. The fire was the result of a short circuit due an overloaded electrical branch on the first floor. An employee in the store saw wires on the ceiling catching fire and sparks shooting across "like a dynamite fuse". Drapes on the wall caught fire and rapidly spread. People in the department store were evacuated by its internal fire-fighting team while also attempting to extinguish the blaze. There were about 350 employees and 200 others in the building at the time of the fire. It took minutes for the fire to engulf the four-storey building. The building's fire protection methods were insufficient and flammable items caused the fire to intensify into an inferno. Nine persons were killed, including eight people trapped in an elevator when power was lost. Another fatality was discovered on the second floor restroom. A pregnant woman was among the dead. Eight of those killed were store employees and another was a shopper. The fire caused the statue of the Roman God Mercury situated on the roof to melt. An eyewitness recalled gray smoke which turned black while leaving the building. The fire rose up to 61 m (200 ft) at a point, and was seen from Toa Payoh and Jurong.


title: Center Village District

text: The town of Lancaster, the oldest in Worcester County, was settled in 1643 as a trading post, and was incorporated in 1653. Its town center occupies a north-south ridge east and north of a bend in the Nashua River, which serves as the historic district boundary on those sides. The center is roughly linear in shape, extending along Main Street (Massachusetts Route 70) for about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) from its crossing of the river. Near the center of this area is the town common, which is laid out on the east side of Main Street, and is flanked on three sides by civic and religious buildings. The most prominent of these is the First Church of Christ, a masterpiece of neoclassical design by Charles Bulfinch that was completed in 1816. Adjacent to the church are a series of horse sheds. At the opposite end of the common is the town hall, a Colonial Revival work of Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow Jr. built in 1908. Between these on the east side of the common stand the Thayer Library, a Renaissance Revival building added in 1868, and the 1904 Classical Revival Center School.

title: Operation Toan Thang III

text: On 26 February as part of the Tet 1969 attacks, at 03:00, a force of approximately 400 men from the VC 275th Regiment, 5th Division, had infiltrated into the tiny village of Thai Hiep on the outskirts of Biên Hòa. About 85 per cent of the force was estimated to be PAVN soldiers. At about 03:00, as reconnaissance elements of the unit were observed and engaged by United States Air Force (USAF) security forces at the perimeter of Bien Hoa Air Base, the villagers began to flee their homes, running down streets and creek beds. The villagers met elements of the South Vietnamese 5th Marine Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, 48th Infantry Regiment, 18th Division and the 3rd Squadron, 5th Armored Cavalry moving on the road less than 0.5 miles (0.80 km) from Thai Hiep in response to the contact at the air base. The villagers told the ARVN forces how they were driven out of their homes and confined to an area near a creek running alongside the village. At that time, the air base security forces reported that they had lost contact with the enemy reconnaissance element which withdrew east toward Thai Hiep. The ARVN units swiftly moved into blocking positions, and by daybreak, the PAVN/VC were surrounded. Additional RF elements moved in and the ARVN troops continued to contain the PAVN/VC forces until 11:00 when assault forces, in the form of the ARVN 36th Ranger Battalion, reinforced the contact. By 15:00 the 36th Ranger Battalion moved into the village attacking the PAVN/VC force. The series of assaults met heavy resistance by the battalion of PAVN who had turned the villagers' sandbagged shelters into a series of well-fortified defensive positions. ARVN psychological operations units broadcast repeated loud-speaker appeals and warnings, and all of the remaining villagers and several wounded PAVN/VC evacuated out of Thai Riep. Just after 16:00 USAF F-100s and F-4s along with Republic of Vietnam Air Force A-1 Skyraiders were directed against the PAVN/VC positions in the village. Following the employment of the supporting fires, the 36th Ranger Battalion moved back into the village. The Rangers met only slight, disorganized resistance.
