wooden spar with plywood skinning. Pilatus P-1 The Pilatus P-1 was a single-engined, single-seat training aircraft project from Pilatus Aircraft in Switzerland, ca.1941. The P-1 project began around the end of October 1940 as the first project of Pilatus, influenced by engineer Henri Fiert. The layout and design principles were carried through to the Pilatus P-2, which achieved success as a trainer with the Swiss Air Force. The fuselage structure of the P-1 would have consisted of welded steel tube, with removable front aluminium alloy panels and fabric covering aft of the cockpit. The wings would have been of wood |

City. A one-woman show written by and starring Markey, the show purported to present deleted scenes from the Broadway musical ""Fun Home"". Asked about the inspiration for ""Deleted Scenes from Fun Home,"" Markey described how she became obsessed with the score to the Broadway musical ""Fun Home"", saying that ""for largely unnameable or unknowable reasons, I was activated in a strange way that I had no control over."" Markey went on to explain the appeal that the Broadway musical ""Fun Home"" had for her: The fact that I was having this sensation was a huge revelation to me—or really, a |

The pilot and observer were seated in a generously glazed cabin that had exceptionally good visibility in all directions. This view was due mainly to the curved sides which allowed the aircrew to look almost straight down. This P-5 design was abandoned in 1951 and no prototype aircraft were ever built. Pilatus P-5 The Pilatus P-5 was a single-engined artillery observation aircraft project from Pilatus Aircraft in Switzerland. The first drawings for the Pilatus P-5 were made in 1951. The client was the Federal Military Department (EMD). The main purpose for the P-5 was for artillery observation. It was a |

On January 13, 2016, Markey's show ""A Ride on the Irish Cream,"" which was funded in part by an Indiegogo campaign, premiered at the Abrons Arts Center of the Henry Street Settlement. The show has been described as a musical anchored inside the memory of a Michigan backyard on the bank of the Kawkawlin River.

a relationship between Reagan (Markey), a vainglorious self-made girl, and Irish Cream (Becca Blackwell), her family's pontoon boat/horse. They are in love, but when their relationship is tested by dust ruffles, sex for money, severe T-storms, and a secret cellar, the only way to stay together is to remember all the parts of themselves their bodies tried to forget. Markey has stated that she considers alt-cabaret performer Bridget Everett a ""possible career model"" for her. Describing her troubles writing an accurate description of her career, Markey said that the ""most truthful"" description of what she does is ""Erin Markey makes |

The group began meeting around 1965, and even though they had differences of opinion, the consensus was that they should work in Gibraltar's best interests, which was then threatened by the economic blockade imposed by the government of Spanish dictator General Franco. For this reason, one of Poggio's first initiatives as chairman of the Gibraltar Group, was the establishment of charter flights between the UK and Gibraltar. The flights were operated for many years by Monarch Airlines, and later by British Airtours. In 1969, with the election of Sir Robert Peliza of the Integration with |

South Fork Wenaha River The South Fork Wenaha River is a tributary of the Wenaha River in the U.S. state of Oregon. The river begins in the Blue Mountains south of Bone Spring in Wallowa County near its border with Union County. From there it flows generally northeast through the Wenaha–Tucannon Wilderness of the Umatilla National Forest to meet the North Fork Wenaha River. The combined forks form the main stem Wenaha, a tributary of the Grande Ronde River. Named tributaries of the South Fork Wenaha from source to mouth are Milk and Trapper creeks followed by Cougar Canyon. Then |

come Jaussard and Elk creeks. The main path along the South Fork is the Wenaha River Trail, a route with trailheads at Troy and Timothy Springs. It runs parallel to the main stem between Troy and Wenaha Forks and roughly parallel to the South Fork upstream of the confluence. This trail connects to other wilderness paths: Elk Flat, Hoodoo, and Cross Canyon trails. The trail system is used by hikers, backpackers, and horse riders. It offers panoramic views, access to fishing, and suitable spots for dispersed camping. It is also remote, involves significant elevation changes, can be extremely hot in |

7646615 | "Badr al-Hammami"
Badr al-Hammami Badr ibn ʿAbdallāh al-Ḥammāmī, also known as Badr al-Kabīr (""Badr the Elder""), was a general who served the Tulunids and later the Abbasids. Of Greek origin, Badr was originally a slave of the founder of the Tulunid regime, Ahmad ibn Tulun, who later set him free. In September 893, along with Muhammad ibn Abba, and the governor of Tarsus, Ahmad ibn Tughan al-Ujayfi, Badr led an expedition against the Byzantine Empire, reaching as far as al-Balaqsun (unidentified, possibly Carian or Lycian Telmessos). Following the death of Ibn Tulun's son Khumarawayh in 896, many Tulunid officers left Egypt and |
7646616 | "Badr al-Hammami"
defected to the Abbasids. Badr remained behind, and ranked, along with Faik and Safi, as one of the principal commanders; each of them commanding a portion of the army, they were able to force the Tulunid government to hand over the revenue necessary to continue paying their troops, whose total loyalty they thus secured. Consequently, they, and Badr in particular, were among the main rivals of Muhammad ibn Abba, who acted as the regent of the underage emir Harun ibn Khumarawayh. In 902, he led a relief army from Egypt to confront the Qarmatians under Yahya ibn Zikrawayh (the ""Master |
7646617 | "Badr al-Hammami"
of the She-camel""), who had attacked Syria in 902 and besieged Tughj ibn Juff in Damascus. The two Tulunid commanders fought with the Qarmatians before the gates of the city and managed to kill the Qarmatian leader, but nevertheless lost the battle. Yahya was succeeded by his brother, Husayn (the ""Man with the Mole""), who proceeded to lay waste to much of Syria in 902–903. Sometime before late August 903, however, he scored a big victory against the Qarmatians, killing many and driving the rest into the desert. This event is only known from a dispatch sent to Baghdad, briefly |
7646618 | "Badr al-Hammami"
mentioned by al-Tabari. This success was soon followed by the decisive victory of the Abbasid army at the Battle of Hama in November, which led to the capture and execution of Husayn and the senior Qarmatian leaders. In autumn 904, the Abbasids under Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Katib launched a campaign to recover Egypt and end the Tulunid regime. When Muhammad arrived at the borders of Egypt in November, Badr went over to him. The defection of the most senior commander was soon followed by other Tulunid officers, and when Harun ibn Khumarawayh was killed by one of his own men, |
7646619 | "Badr al-Hammami"
the regime collapsed into anarchy, and Muhammad entered Fustat without opposition. Now in Abbasid service, in August 905 Badr received robes of honour from Caliph al-Muktafi, and was sent as deputy and advisor to another commander, Fatik, to confront the rebellion of a former Tulunid officer, Ibrahim al-Khaliji, who had seized much of the country along with Fustat. In 914, he was governor of Fars. Following the assassination of the Samanid ruler Ahmad ibn Isma'il and the accession of his underage son, the Samanid regime was weakened. Badr used the opportunity to re-assert Abbasid control over Sistan, sending Fadl ibn |
7646620 | "Badr al-Hammami"
Hamid there as his deputy. This success was short-lived, however, and the province soon fell back into the hands of local warlords, until the emergence of Kathir ibn Ahmad as its ruler in 917. In October 917, Badr was placed in charge of 5,000 men and sent to pursue the rebel leader Abdalla ibn Ibrahim al-Misma'i and his Kurdish followers near Isbahan. Badr died in 923.

Carol II of Romania's cult of personality Carol II, the King of Romania from 1930 to 1940, was the focus of a cult of personality for much of the latter part of his reign. The cult peaked with the suspension of the 1923 Constitution of Romania and the establishment of a ""royal dictatorship"" in 1938 (""see 1938 Constitution of Romania, National Renaissance Front""). His personality cult shared some features with Communist leader Nicolae Ceaușescu's own personality cult that took root three decades later.

William Davys Sir William Davys (born before 1633 – died 1687) was an Irish barrister and judge who held the offices of Recorder of Dublin, Prime Serjeant and Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. He was accused of Roman Catholic sympathies and was threatened with removal from the bench as a result, but he succeeded in retaining high office until his death, due in part to his influential family connections. He was the eldest son of Sir Paul Davys (died 1672), Clerk to the Privy Council of Ireland, and later Principal Secretary for Ireland by his first wife Margaret Ussher (died |

The father has been described as a remarkable man who during his long career was able to work amicably with Viceroys as different in character as Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, Henry Cromwell, and James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde. It was his father's long friendship with Ormonde which gave William his own start in life, since Ormonde prided himself on being loyal to his friends and their families. William entered |

Isabella Coymans Isabella Coymans (1626 – 1689), was the Dutch wife of Stephanus Geraerdts best known for her portrait painted by Frans Hals. She was the wealthy daughter of the Haarlem cloth merchant Joseph Coymans and Dorothea Berck. She chose as her husband Stephanus Geraerdts, who was a member of the Haarlem regency, and married him in 1644. Frans Hals painted an unusual pair of wedding portraits for them, showing Isabella in an active state of presenting her husband with a rose, with only half of the rose showing in the painting. She is standing, and her husband is seated |

with his hand outstretched in a passive state of expectation. Though many pendant wedding portraits from the Dutch Golden Age have since been split up, this particular pair of portraits, that have been split up since 1886, receive the most commentary about this fact in the documentation. Hals certainly never gave any other woman so much action in a portrait painting. Her hair is also loose on her shoulders, and she is wearing a décolletage, though modest. Most of Hals's female sitters were buttoned up to the chin or wearing a box collar, and had their hair behind a Dutch |

An affirmative vote of three-quarters of the owners of the NFL's 32 clubs is required before a new team can be created (known as expansion) or before an existing team is allowed to move to a new market (known as relocation), i.e. 24 or more clubs would have to approve of the decision. According to ""The Guardian"", as of 2015 it was ""well-known"" that a London franchise was a goal of the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, although ""he tends to avoid specifics on the process to make that happen"".

Despite Ormonde's influence, Davys was passed over for this important office the first time, presumably due to continuing doubts about his true religious beliefs, but he was able to obtain the office on the second occasion. Having now reached the pinnacle of his career, Davys seriously damaged his standing by his second marriage to the widowed Lady Clancarty, Elizabeth FitzGerald, who was the daughter of George FitzGerald, 16th Earl of Kildare and Lady Joan Boyle. Whether it was made for love or for social advancement, the marriage offended both his father-in-law Archbishop Boyle and the FitzGeralds, who were |
7646651 | "William Davys"
engaged in a lawsuit with the Ormonde family, which came before Davys as Chief Justice. The FitzGeralds accused Davys of bias and threatened to have him removed from the Bench: Davys replied that he feared to do wrong, but did not fear the consequences of doing justice. Possibly Davys was attracted by the great wealth of his teenage stepson Donough MacCarthy, 4th Earl of Clancarty, while Donough's uncle Justin MacCarthy, later Viscount Mountcashel, was very close to the future James II. Unfortunately Justin quarrelled irrevocably with Lady Davys when, in an episode that caused a notable scandal, he virtually kidnapped |

the young earl and forced him into an underage marriage with Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of Robert Spencer, 2nd Earl of Sunderland. The marriage, which turned out badly, caused Davys' wife much grief in her last years, and suggests that the couple had little influence at Court. On the accession of James II, it was widely rumoured that Davys would be removed from office; he was ageing, and ""much impaired by the gout"" and had quarrelled with many of his influential connections. In the event James seems to have approved of Davys, perhaps because of his alleged Catholic sympathies, and he |

His widow Elizabeth survived until 1698, much troubled in her last years by her son's turbulent career, which saw him imprisoned in the Tower of London as a traitor, then escape to find his long estranged wife Lady Elizabeth Spencer, and at last consummate their marriage, only to be arrested by her outraged family. The affair caused a furore, but fortunately King William III took the matter lightly, and granted Lady |

Davys's only child, a daughter by his first wife Martha Boyle, died young; having no surviving children, he wished to provide for his step-daughter, Lady Catherine MacCarthy. At the same time he wished his house, St. Catherine's Park, Leixlip, which he had bought and improved, to remain in the Davys family. His will contained the curious condition that whichever son of his brother John married Catherine should inherit.

While Khan admits the move has been a success in terms of improving the finances and profile of what was a small and struggling franchise, he has nonetheless been reluctant to commit to a move, preferring the current arrangement.

The most immediate likely candidate for relocation is the Carolina Panthers. The cost to terminate the Panthers' agreement to use Bank of America Stadium after the 2018 season is relatively small, and the team's incoming owner, David Tepper, does not have any significant ties to the Carolinas and has been tepid in his support of keeping the team in the region, stating upon assuming |

ownership in July 2018 ""Charlotte is a logical place (... but) you're asking me too much. The only thing I have a market on right now is a lack of knowledge. I'll call it stupidity."" Like the Raiders, the timing of the team's sale and stadium agreement is less than ideal, since the league does not intend to put a team in London on such short notice. As happened with the Buffalo Bills in 2014, even franchises with relatively long lease agreements but which are otherwise seen as struggling in their own market, are often named by the media as |
7646661 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
potential candidates for relocation to London, on the basis that those advocating relocation to a more lucrative market would be offering more money than those proposing to stay put. In the specific case of the Bills, it was however suggested that the NFL would oppose relocation since they were the only NFL team which played in New York state (the New York Jets and New York Giants being located in a shared stadium in New Jersey). The Bills' lease, which is effectively unbreakable in the short-term, has an exit window in 2019 and expires in 2022, coincidentally the same year |

as the NFL's target for a London franchise. Countering one reason often cited as why the Jaguars would move, their low attendances, it has been argued that there are other franchises such as the Buccaneers with even lower attendances and less potential for growth in their own market in comparison. Given the size of London, it has even been suggested by Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank that there could ultimately be more than one franchise located in London, although not before a team in another European country. One potential advantage for London as a market for an NFL franchise is |
7646663 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
that all of the likely stadiums for the franchise have already been built, with two of them being built in the 21st century and having sufficient modern amenities to host such a team. This eliminates the expense, currently over one billion United States dollars, of constructing a stadium for the team that meets NFL specifications. Wembley Stadium, England's national football (soccer) stadium, was rebuilt and re-opened in 2007, and was the first venue for International Series games in that same year. It was built with locker rooms which are twice the size usually found in soccer venues, which allows them |

In comparison, the Sun is 4.6 billion years old and has a surface temperature of 5778 K. This star is radiating only 1.4% of the Sun's luminosity from its outer atmosphere.

events staged at Wembley is vital to the FA's financial health, believing the benefit of the consistent revenue stream of 8 NFL games a year would not escape their attention. Although mindful of the calendar, according to the stadium's managing director speaking in 2013, ""Football [(soccer)] is our priority but yes, I'm absolutely confident that if Roger Goodell wanted to have a franchise here, we could absolutely deliver on it."" One possible method of accommodating the full schedule of an NFL franchise that the FA is investigating (as of 2014), is playing some home England fixtures at other football stadiums |
7646667 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
around the country, something which had not been done since the stadium had been reopened. A 10-year restriction on having to play all home games at Wembley expired in 2017, although Wembley remains the regular home of the team. Supporting the idea, the BBC contrasted the low attendances of some England soccer friendlies at Wembley, which reached a record low of 40,181 in 2014, surpassing the previous record of 48,876 in 2011, with the 80,000 crowds for the 2014 three game International Series. In April 2018, Jaguars owner Shahid Khan placed a bid on Wembley Stadium in an effort to |
7646668 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
solidify the Jaguars' presence in the city; this offer was retracted in October 2018. On July 8, 2015 it was announced that the NFL had agreed to stage a minimum of two games a season for a ten-year period at Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium in Northumberland Park, which is due to open in 2018. This was interpreted as boosting the chances of an eventual London franchise. As a result of the deal, the stadium is to be specifically designed for both American and association versions of football. It has a retractable natural grass pitch over an artificial surface to be |
7646669 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
used for NFL (which should allow both soccer and NFL games to be played on the same weekend), and with locker rooms of sufficient size to accommodate the 53-man size of an NFL team roster. Its proposed capacity of 61,000 was described a being more appropriate for the day to day requirements of an NFL franchise than Wembley's 84,000. It has been suggested the design will also eliminate the issue at Wembley whereby the lowest 5,000 seats cannot be used because spectator's view of the pitch is obstructed by the various officials, coaches and players who stand on the sidelines |
7646670 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
during an NFL game. The architect, Populous, has previously designed 14 NFL stadiums. On November 3, 2015, the NFL also announced it had reached a deal with the Rugby Football Union to host a minimum of three games in three years at Twickenham Stadium, home of the England national rugby team, beginning from the 2016 International Series. The deal is designed to be flexible, i.e. it could involve two fixtures in one year and none the next. The deal also includes an option to add two more games in the same period. The three-game commitment was fulfilled in two years. |
7646671 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
To resolve some of the issues, it has also been suggested a London franchise may use more than one of the suggested venues as their home stadium. A number of issues need to be resolved before a London franchise can be set up; speaking in 2015 Waller stated ""We feel very comfortable from a fan perspective, from a sponsor and a stadium perspective now, that we have all of the right things in place. The one thing that we’ve got to do more work on is how would it work from a team operational standpoint?"" Speaking after talks with the |
7646672 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
UK government, Dan Marino argued that probably the biggest challenge facing a London franchise is the physical logistics of moving the staff and equipment across the Atlantic for every away game. To overcome this, he speculated that the NFL might follow the example of other sports like basketball and baseball, where some teams play away games in back to back series of three or four games, allowing the team to stay in the US for this part of their schedule. It has been noted that this approach may be problematic as it requires players to spend multiple weeks at a |
7646673 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
time away from home (whether home is in the US or London), something they would not have to do in a US based franchise. The NFL's use of a salary cap would also make using financial incentives to overcome this problematic. For the 2018 season, the league aims to test the concept of one of the teams playing back-to-back games in London. As well as the issue of a home stadium facility, the league has also been considering where a London franchise would hold their training camp, which begins in late July and normally involves several players not yet formally |
7646674 | "Potential London NFL franchise"
signed to the club. Similarly, another issue is whether or not it would have a base in the US for the off-season period, the gap between whenever their season ends until the start of the following training camp, in which the club will normally hold several meetings regarding staff and player contracts. As of 2014 the NFL had investigated the possibility of a London team establishing a permanent base in conjunction with a Premier League club, but it was considered unlikely for reasons of infrastructure and scheduling. The league has also considered establishing a secondary base, probably in the Southeastern |

United States, for the London club to use for circumstances when returning to London is impractical. The NFL has set a target of reaching a total of 6 million ""avid fans"" in the UK before they will consider a London franchise viable, and surveys the UK annually to assess this figure; an avid fan being defined by the NFL as someone who says they're ""extremely interested"" in the NFL or that it is their favourite sport. Speaking during the 2015 International Series, Waller stated ""We’re currently at four million, we were at about 2.3 million when the International Series started |

in Europe and North America. The laying of train track and the production of locomotive engines, coaches, railroad cars, and other rolling stock became a major growth industry, attracting financial investors and entrepreneurs intent upon establishing lucrative railways for the transport of raw materials, finished goods, and passengers from place to place. The production and maintenance of this railway rolling stock became a major portion of business operations of these emerging transportation firms and dedicated employees collectively known as ""railroad shopmen"" were hired for the performance of these tasks. The network of railways grew rapidly during the second half of |
7646677 | "Railroad shopmen"
the 19th Century. By 1880 there were approximately 400,000 people (almost exclusively male) employed in the railroad industry of the United States — about 1 worker out of every 40. While the largest part of these were involved in the construction and maintenance of roadbeds and rails, the second largest group of these employees were the shopmen charged with the construction and service of rolling stock. Approximately 20% of railroad employees in this period worked as shopmen, according to the investigation of one leading scholar. The railroads continued to grow dramatically through the first two decades of the 20th Century. |

In 1917 in the United States the American government took control of rail transport in conjunction with its entrance as a combatant in World War I. By that time the American rail network had grown to 360,000 miles of track, worked by 66,000 locomotives pulling approximately 2.5 million freight cars. Railroad employment grew commensurately; by 1920 more than 2.2 million Americans were employed in the railroad industry with the count of railroad shopmen alone topping the 400,000 mark. More Americans worked as railroad shopmen than were employed as steelworkers and meatpackers combined. By 1920 Railroad repair was one of the |
7646679 | "Railroad shopmen"
leading industrial sectors in the United States, with more than 1750 shops generating in excess of $700 million in value-added — an output that ranked third among the country's manufacturing industries. A variety of different craftspeople were needed for locomotive and car maintenance, including machinists and blacksmiths to fabricate and sustain metal parts, carpenters to produce and repair wooden interiors, and others. The stability of this employment seems to have varied in accordance with individual skill, with the employment of highly skilled mechanics relatively permanent, while less skilled shop hands and apprentices were put to work on a more transient |

basis. A situation of uneasiness and distrust existed on some railway lines between the centralized management of the company and the employees at the various local shops. The theft of brass and copper was perceived by some lines as commonplace; others saw periodic scandals in which company workers worked on their own personal projects on company time and with company raw materials, or in which local foremen absconded with company lumber and labor to improve their own homes.

Tinkerbella Tinkerbella is a genus of fairy wasps, containing the single species Tinkerbella nana from Costa Rica. It is one of the smallest known flying arthropods and belongs to the family Mymaridae. The smallest flying arthropod known is ""Megaphragma caribea"", a trichogrammatid wasp that measures 170 micrometres long. It was identified by a team led by John Huber at the Canadian National Collection of Insects and John Noyes at the Natural History Museum. Noyes collected it during a scientific expedition in the tropical forests of Costa Rica. ""Tinkerbella"" specimens have been added to the museum collection of about 1.5 million |

wasps, which are used by researchers worldwide. The scientific description of ""Tinkerbella nana"" was published in the ""Journal of Hymenoptera Research"". The genus was named after the fairy Tinker Bell in the 1904 play ""Peter and Wendy"" (a.k.a. ""Peter Pan"") by J.M. Barrie, and the specific epithet ""nana"" refers to a dog in the same story, as well as referencing the Greek word for a dwarf. Specimens were collected in Costa Rica by Noyes using a heavy triangular sweep net fitted with a galvanized metal screen with 4 mm mesh over the opening. Sweeping was done by gently dragging the |

net through vegetation and dumping the net contents at five-minute intervals into 80% ethanol in a sturdy polythene bag to reduce damage to insects in the debris. Sweeping was done for two hours periods (barring rain) so different samples could be compared, if necessary. The samples were sorted later in a laboratory using a method that ensured all the smallest Hymenoptera were found. ""Tinkerbella nana"" is long, equivalent to 2.5 times the width of a human hair.

Steinbach areas of research interests included eye movements, eye muscle proprioception, spatial and motion perception, stereoscopic vision, central vision loss, and visual illusions. His research in eye movements included owls, which is significant because, contrary to the general belief that the owl’s eyes do not move, Steinbach found that they do. In humans, his studies of eye movement control included normal and pathological populations. While studying the ocular motor function of patients treated for strabismus, Steinbach found that pre and post-surgical measures of visual direction |
