ACN Red Week
|
Red Week is an annual global campaign that takes place in November, aimed at calling attention to the issue of persecution of Christians. In some countries the event is concentrated on a particular Wednesday and labelled Red Wednesday (#RedWednesday). The event is promoted by international Roman Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), and events are hosted in many countries where the organisation has national offices, but also in others, such as Croatia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Peru and Guatemala. Events can include conferences and exhibitions, but the most visible are the lighting in red of landmarks, such as the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain in Rome, or the Montmarte church in Paris, among many others. Although ACN is a Catholic organisation, Red Week and Red Wednesday highlight the persecution of all Christians, and events in different countries have had the backing of other religious confessions.

# ACN Red Week
**Red Week** (sometimes rendered **#RedWeek**) is an annual global campaign that takes place in November, aimed at calling attention to the issue of persecution of Christians. In some countries the event is concentrated on a particular Wednesday and labelled Red Wednesday (#RedWednesday).
The event is promoted by international Roman Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), and events are hosted in many countries where the organisation has national offices, but also in others, such as Croatia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Peru and Guatemala. Events can include conferences and exhibitions, but the most visible are the lighting in red of landmarks, such as the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain in Rome, or the Montmarte church in Paris, among many others.
Although ACN is a Catholic organisation, Red Week and Red Wednesday highlight the persecution of all Christians, and events in different countries have had the backing of other religious confessions.
## History
The first Red Week was held in Brazil, in 2015, to call attention to the persecution of Christian communities in Iraq. The idea was picked up by other national offices of ACN and replicated over the following years, becoming a global movement.
Pope Francis specifically thanked Polish Catholics for their participation in Red Week events in November 2022, and UK Prime-Minister Rishi Sunak mentioned the event in Parliament in 2023, calling it "an important moment to demonstrate our solidarity with Christians and all those persecuted around the world for their religion or belief”, before adding: “I’m pleased that today we will light up Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office buildings in the UK in red in support”.
## Red Wednesday
**Red Wednesday** (sometimes rendered **#RedWednesday**) developed from, and is part of, the Red Week initiative, promoted by international Roman Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need. Besides organising conferences and other events, the date is often marked by the lighting in red of houses of worship or public buildings.
Celebrating the date on a chosen Wednesday, rather than marking the entire Red Week, has occurred mostly in English speaking countries with ACN offices, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, but also in others, such as the Philippines.
In the UK the date has become politically significant, with the Anglican bishop of Truro, Philip Mounstephen, recommending its adoption by the Government, in his report on the reform of the Foreign Office and its handling of the issue of persecution of Christians. In 2023, prime-minister Rishi Sunak mentioned Red Wednesday while answering questions in Parliament, describing it as "an important moment to demonstrate our solidarity with Christians and all those persecuted around the world for their religion or belief". The date has taken on an ecumenical dimension in the UK, having received backing by the aforementioned Anglican Bishop of Truro, as well as the Coptic Orthodox Archbishop Angaelos of London
In 2023 the UK national office of Aid to the Church in Need established the first "Courage to be a Christian" award, which was given to Margaret and Dominic Attah, from Nigeria, in representation of the scores of victims of the Pentecost Sunday church attack in Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria, which took place on 5 June. 2022. Margaret Attah, a nurse, lost both her legs in the attack, which killed over 40 people and wounded over 80.

Punch (album)
|
Punch is the debut album by Punch Brothers. It was released by Nonesuch Records on February 26, 2008. The centerpiece of the album is mandolinist Chris Thile's ambitious four movement suite, "The Blind Leaving the Blind". Thile says the piece was written in part to deal with his divorce of 2004. It was composed over the course of a year and a half using Finale composition software. About 30% of the composition involves some improvisation, "like a jazz lead sheet or a written out fiddle tune". Chris Thile has said that his goal was "to fuse the formal disciplines of jazz or classical composition with the vibrancy of bluegrass or folk music song writing". The remainder of the album was co-written by the entire band. This album, like the group's previous effort How to Grow a Woman from the Ground, was recorded live, with only minimal use of multi-track.

Strasburgeriaceae
|
Strasburgeriaceae is a small family of flowering plants in the order Crossosomatales, only found in New Zealand and New Caledonia. It contains two genera, Strasburgeria and Ixerba. Both genera have simple, evergreen, alternated leaves, often in worl-like clusters, with gland-tipped serrations, hermaphroditic, pentamerous flowers with persistent sepals, clawed petals, flat and long filaments that extend beyond the petals and a persistent style with a punctiform stigma. Fossil pollen named Bluffopollis scabratus, found in deposits from the Paleocene to the Miocene, is almost identical to the pollen of Strasburgeria, although only half its size. The fact that it was found in western and southern Australia and in New Zealand suggests that the most recent common ancestor of Strasburgeria and Ixerba had developed by the time of the break-up of East-Gondwana. Recent phylogenetic analysis resulted in the inclusion of the genus Ixerba in the Strasburgeriaceae. The following tree represents the most recent insights in the relationship between the Strasburgeriaceae and other families. While both Ixerba brexioides and Strasburgeria robusta share a base chromosome number of x = 25, I. brexioides is diploid, while S. robusta is icosaploid (2n = 20x = 500). The massive polyploidy in S. robusta may have furthered the adaptations that let it survive on the ultramafic substrates found in the montane forest of New Caledonia.

Cape Hattersley-Smith
|
Cape Hattersley-Smith is a cape marked by a triangular rock peak at the southeast end of Condor Peninsula, 5 nautical miles (9 km) southwest of Cape Knowles, on the Black Coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. The cape was photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service on December 30, 1940. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS)–Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition party from Stonington Island in November 1947 and was rephotographed by the U.S. Navy in 1966. The cape was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1984 after the British geologist Geoffrey Francis Hattersley-Smith. Hattersley-Smith was FIDS base leader and glaciologist at Admiralty Bay, South Shetland Islands, 1948–49. In the period 1951–73 he was with the Defense Research Board of Canada doing field research in the Arctic. From 1973 he was with the British Antarctic Survey, and was Secretary of the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, 1975–91. Hattersley-Smith was the author of The History of Place-names in the Falkland Islands Dependencies, Cambridge, 1980, and The History of Place-names in the British Antarctic Territory, Cambridge, 1991.

# Matt Freeman
**Roger Matthew Freeman**, also known as **Matt McCall** (born April 23, 1966) is an American musician. He is best known for his bass work with the punk rock bands Operation Ivy, Rancid and as the frontman of Devil's Brigade.
## Playing style
In an interview streamed from the Rancid website before the release of *Rancid* (2000), he revealed that his style was heavily influenced at an early age by John Entwistle, bassist for The Who. He plays both with a pick and fingerstyle.
Freeman's playing style is considered atypical in the punk rock world due to his frequent use of scales and arpeggios as opposed to "motoring" through a chord progression's root notes as is typical of punk bass playing.
## Singing style
Although Armstrong and Frederiksen are the principal singers in Rancid, Freeman has taken the lead vocal duties in a number of gritty sounding songs through the years, including the songs "Black and Blue", "Rigged on a Fix", "Black Derby Jacket", "Tenderloin" and, "L.A. River". He is known for possessing a deep and raspy singing voice. Freeman was also the primary co-lead vocal for the first Rancid album, before Frederiksen joined the band, with his role subsequently being reduced by choice.
## Gear
Freeman plays Fender Precision and Jazz Basses. His 1977 Fender Precision was used as the basis for the 2011 Squier Matt Freeman Signature Bass.
He has also played Music Man Stingrays, Ibanez ATK's and Rickenbacker 4003's in the past.
## Bands
### Operation Ivy and Downfall
In May 1987, Freeman and Armstrong formed the band Operation Ivy. After Operation Ivy broke up in May 1989, they formed a new band, Downfall, which included all but one member of Operation Ivy and two additional members. Downfall recorded a 10-song album which has never been released, then broke up. Freeman and Armstrong next formed Generator, who played a number of shows, but are not known to have recorded anything. After that, Freeman played with the political punk band MDC for about a year.
### Dance Hall Crashers
After Operation Ivy, Freeman and Armstrong formed the ska band the Dance Hall Crashers, but they left the band shortly after its formation. The band went on to become moderately successful throughout the 90s.
### MDC
He joined MDC in 1990, completing one US and one European tour and playing bass on their 1991 release *Millions Of Dead Cops II: Hey Cop! If I Had A Face Like Yours....* The lineup for this version of the band consisted of Freeman, original singer Dave Dictor, original drummer Al Schvitz and guitarist Bill Collins, formerly of Fang, Special Forces and Intensified Chaos.
### Gr'ups and Rancid
He joined The Gr'ups in 1991. In 1992, Freeman and Armstrong recruited drummer Brett Reed and formed Rancid. Rancid is his most successful band yet. He considered Rancid a side project until Armstrong had proved to him that he had his alcoholism under control. Guitarist Lars Frederiksen joined the band later in 1993. The band released their tenth album, *Tomorrow Never Comes*, in June 2023. Their partnership has continued with Freeman contributing basslines to selected tracks by the Transplants, one of Armstrong's side projects.
### Social Distortion
During Rancid's 2004 hiatus, Freeman replaced bassist John Maurer in Social Distortion shortly before the release of their then-new album *Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll*. Freeman did not intend to stay in the band permanently and he was replaced by current bassist Brent Harding in late 2004.
### Charger
In 2020 Matt formed a heavy metal band, Charger.
### The Crew
In May 2021, Freeman along with fellow Rancid bandmate Tim Armstrong, Fletcher Dragge (Pennywise), Byron McCracken (Pennywise), and Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies) formed a punk rock supergroup called The Crew. The band's first single, "One Voice", was released on Epitaph Records.
## Health issues
Following his departure from Social Distortion, Freeman was diagnosed with lung cancer in May 2005, but was dismissed as abnormal tissue growth and not terminal to his health in June 2005. He had been a smoker for 20 years but had quit, seemingly by coincidence, shortly prior to this. He learned to play the mandolin so he would have something to do with his hands as heard on the Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards album *Viking*.

Gourdon Glacier
|
Gourdon Glacier is a glacier 4 nautical miles (7 km) long on the east side of James Ross Island, flowing southeast into Markham Bay between Saint Rita Point and Rabot Point. It has a conspicuous rock wall at its head. The glacier was first surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, 1901–04, who named it for Ernest Gourdon, geologist and glaciologist of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05.

Brynkir railway station
|
Brynkir railway station was opened by the Carnarvonshire Railway on the western edge of the village of Bryncir, Gwynedd, Wales. The station was not heavily used, but it had two platforms and remained open until the line closed because it was a crossing place where the otherwise single track route became twin track for a short distance, it also had facilities for locomotives to replenish their water tanks. An accident involving passengers occurred at the station on 6 September 1866, before formal opening. The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1935 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the London Midland Region from 1954 to 1955. The line and station closed on 7 December 1964 as recommended in the Beeching Report.

# Catherine of Bourbon, duchess of Guelders
**Catherine of Bourbon** (1440 in Liège 21 May 1469 in Nijmegen) was Duchess of Guelders from 1465-1469 by her marriage to Adolf, Duke of Guelders. She was a daughter of Charles I, Duke of Bourbon and his wife Agnes of Burgundy.
## Marriage and issue
Both before and after his accession to the throne Catherine was on several occasions proposed as a bride for Edward IV of England. The marriage negotiations came to nothing, and Edward went on to astonish his own people, and the Courts of Europe, by marrying for love Elizabeth Woodville, the daughter of an obscure knight.
On 28 December 1463 in Bruges, she married Adolf II, Duke of Guelders, who succeeded his father Arnold as Duke of Guelders in 1465. Catherine and Adolf had twin children:
Catherine died in 1469 and was buried in the St. Stephen Church in Nijmegen.

# 2008 United States House of Representatives election in United States Virgin Islands
The **2008 Congressional election** for the Delegate from the United States Virgin Islands was held on November 4, 2008.
The non-voting delegate to the United States House of Representatives from the United States Virgin Islands is elected for two-year terms. The winner of the race will serve in the 111th Congress from January 3, 2009 until January 3, 2011. The election coincided with the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
## Candidates
Incumbent U.S. Virgin Islands Delegate Donna Christian-Christensen announced that she intended to seek a fourth term in the United States House of Representatives. Her announcement of her decision to seek re-election came in a press conference held at her congressional district office in Sunny Isle, United States Virgin Islands, on January 10, 2008.
Christensen, who has held the seat since 1996, easily won re-election in the previous contest in 2006. She received 66% of the vote in 2006, in contrast to her nearest rival, Warren Mosler, who garnered 29% of the vote.
Christensen ran unopposed in the 2008 Congressional election. This all but guaranteed her successful re-election to the House of Representatives. As such, Christensen was re-elected again with over 99% of the popular vote.

Jewish Council of the Emirates
|
The Jewish Council of the Emirates (JCE) is the representative body of Part of the Jewish community in Dubai. Although the Jewish community in the UAE is older, the JCE was formalized with its constitution in 2018. The JCE has more than 100 active members of diverse orientations, including orthodox, conservative and reform. In September 2020, the JCE announced that it would formally affiliate with the World Jewish Congress, an international organization that represents Jewish communities in 100 countries. With the signing and ratification of the Abraham Accords – a historic agreement to normalize relations between the UAE and Israel, the JCE aims to act as a bridge between Emirati authorities and Jews living in the country, contribute to the diversity and pluralism of the UAE and advance interfaith harmony. According to Sarna, the JCE intends to be an example community in the Gulf for “dialogue and interfaith cooperation.”

# Jewish Council of the Emirates
The **Jewish Council of the Emirates** (JCE) is the representative body of Part of the Jewish community in Dubai.
Although the Jewish community in the UAE is older, the JCE was formalized with its constitution in 2018. The JCE has more than 100 active members of diverse orientations, including orthodox, conservative and reform. In September 2020, the JCE announced that it would formally affiliate with the World Jewish Congress, an international organization that represents Jewish communities in 100 countries.
With the signing and ratification of the Abraham Accords – a historic agreement to normalize relations between the UAE and Israel, the JCE aims to act as a bridge between Emirati authorities and Jews living in the country, contribute to the diversity and pluralism of the UAE and advance interfaith harmony. According to Sarna, the JCE intends to be an example community in the Gulf for “dialogue and interfaith cooperation.”
## History
The JCE is the country's oldest congregation and recognized by local authorities. The JCE community has been gathering since 2010, with a house known as The Villa serving as a community center since 2015. The JCE was formally established in 2019.
In October 2020, the JCE announced the appointment of Elie Abadie, as the JCE's senior rabbi. A prominent rabbi and scholar of Sephardic Judaism, Abadie is relocating from New York City to serve as the JCE's senior rabbi.
## Background
The Jewish community in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is small. There are currently two active synagogues. Talmud Torah (Jewish school) opened in 2020 and currently has 40 pupils. As of 2019, according to Rabbi Marc Schneier, it is estimated that there are about 150 families to 3,000 Jews who live and worship freely in the UAE. As of 2020 over 2,000 Jewish people live in the UAE.
## Viewpoints
According to Ross Kriel, the UAE has a culture of tolerance, particularly towards the Abrahamic religions. He believes the UAE Government's welcoming approach to the community is entirely values based, and is not a strategic move on their part to try and curry favor or achieve a political objective.
The JCE hailed the Abraham Accords as a peace agreement that can have a transformative effect for Muslim-Jewish understanding and cooperation across the Middle East. Rabbi Yehuda Sarna called the Accords a history-making milestone worthy of bearing the name of Abraham, "Today was not just the eve of the Jewish New Year, but the dawn of a new era for the entire Middle East. The true significance of these Accords is not to be found in some 'room where it happened', but in the doors it will open."
## Objectives
Over the past several years, Emirati authorities have attempted to foster greater interfaith dialogue and understanding. This has included hosting high-level interfaith delegations and events as well as pledges to build a multi-faith “Abrahamic Family House” complex that includes a synagogue.
## Leadership
The JCE is led by Yehuda Sarna, Chief Rabbi; Ross Kriel, President; and the Governing Committee made up of ten community leaders. In October 2020, the JCE announced that Dr. Elie Abadie will join the organization as the new Senior Rabbi in Residence, working “on-the-ground” to provides spiritual leadership.
## Activities
The JCE has been known as “the underground synagogue” conducting regular services for almost a decade while keeping its operations mostly hidden from public view. The only religious ceremony yet to take place is a wedding.
In 2020 the JCE celebrated Rosh Hashanah with a virtual address from His Excellency Yousef Al Otaiba, the U.A.E.’s Ambassador to the United States. This reflected an unprecedented level of official state participation in a Jewish religious event.

# List of pipeline accidents in the United States in 2017
The following is a **list of pipeline accidents in the United States in 2017**. It is one of several lists of U.S. pipeline accidents. See also list of natural gas and oil production accidents in the United States.
## Incidents
This is not a complete list of all pipeline accidents. **For natural gas alone**, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), a United States Department of Transportation agency, has collected data on more than 3,200 accidents deemed serious or significant since 1987.
A "significant incident" results in any of the following consequences:
* fatality or injury requiring in-patient hospitalization
* $50,000 or more in total costs, measured in 1984 dollars
* liquid releases of five or more barrels (42 US gal/barrel)
* releases resulting in an unintentional fire or explosion
PHMSA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) post incident data and results of investigations into accidents involving pipelines that carry a variety of products, including natural gas, oil, diesel fuel, gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, carbon dioxide, and other substances. Occasionally pipelines are repurposed to carry different products.
* On January 7, a Colonial Pipeline stubline leaked gasoline into Shoal Creek in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
* On January 14, the Ozark Pipeline, an Enbridge (now Marathon Oil) division, spilled about 18,900 gallons of light oil at the Lawrence Pump Station near Halltown, Missouri.
* On January 16, a gas pipeline exploded and burned near Spearman, Texas. There were no injuries.
* On January 19, a Tallgrass Pony Express Pipeline failed in Logan County, Colorado, spilling about 420,300 gallons of crude oil. The cause of the failure was unknown.
* On January 25, a Magellan pipeline leaked 46,830 gallons (1,115 barrels) of diesel fuel onto private agricultural land in Worth County, Iowa near Hanlontown.
* On January 30, a Texas Department of Transportation crew dug into the 30-inch-diameter Seaway Pipeline near Blue Ridge, Texas, spraying crude oil across a road. About 210,000 gallons of crude were spilled. There were no injuries.
* On January 31, a DCP pipeline exploded under a runway at Panola County Airport-Sharpe Field in Texas. There were no injuries, but the airport shut the runway down for an extended amount of time.
* On February 9, a Phillips 66 natural gas liquids pipeline (TENDS pipeline Sorrento system) near the Williams-Discovery natural gas plant on US Route 90 near Paradis, Louisiana exploded while being cleaned, killing one worker and sending another worker to a burn unit. Traffic on US-90 and LA-631 was shut down, and residents in the area evacuated.
* On February 15, a 36-inch-diameter Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline exploded and burned in Refugio County, Texas. There were no injuries. The flames were visible 50 miles away. Refugio County Chief Deputy Sheriff Gary Wright said the explosion occurred at an apparent weak point in the pipeline that must have required maintenance, but KM disputed the issue. Residents as far as 60 miles away thought it was an earthquake, while others described it as "a thunder roll that wouldn’t end.” According to the PHMSA incident listing, "the incident was most likely caused by some combination of stress factors on the pipeline." The explosion and resulting fire cost $525,197 in property damage. The pipe was installed in 1964.
* On February 27, a crude oil pipeline ruptured in Falls City, Texas, spilling about 42,630 gallons of crude oil. The cause was from internal corrosion.
* On March 3, a leak on the Dakota Access Pipeline in Watford City, North Dakota spilled approximately 84 gallons of oil, contaminating local snow and soil. The leak was contained before it could reach any waterways.
* On March 5, an oil spill due to an above-ground valve malfunction on the Dakota Access Pipeline occurred in Mercer County, North Dakota. An estimated 20 gallons were spilled.
* On March 29, a natural gas leak of a high-pressure pipeline in Providence, Rhode Island owned by Spectra Energy released about 19 million cubic feet of natural gas, or enough natural gas to heat and keep the lights on for 190,000 homes for a single day. Approximately two gallons of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were also released in the form of contaminated natural gas condensate.
* On April 1, Energy Transfer Partners's Mariner East pipelines leaked about 840 gallons of an ethane-propane mix in Berks County, Pennsylvania. This, and several other incidents, later led to a $200,000 fine. There were no injuries.
* On April 4, a pump on the Dakota Access Pipeline spilled about 84 gallons of oil at a pump station in Tulare, South Dakota. The leak was not noticed until May 9.
* April 13 and 14: It was discovered that Energy Transfer Partners spilled drilling fluid into two separate wetlands in rural Ohio while constructing the Rover Pipeline. The spills occurred in wetlands near Richland County, Ohio. The spill on the 13th released 2 million gallons of drilling fluid, and the spill on the 14th released approximately 50,000 gallons of drilling fluid.
* On April 21, a Plains All American Pipeline experienced a crude oil release on the Buffalo Pipeline near Loyal, Oklahoma. About 19,000 gallons of crude oil were spilled.
* On April 22, a 1,050-gallon oil pipeline spill in Bowman County, North Dakota polluted a tributary of the Little Missouri River but was prevented from flowing into the larger waterway.
* On May 8, a Wood River Pipelines (part of Koch Industries) line broke in Warrensburg, Illinois, spilling 250 gallons of crude oil.
* On May 25, workers were installing a replacement pipeline at a tank battery near Mead, Colorado, when there was an explosion and fire. One worker was killed, and three others were injured.
* On July 13, a contractor doing maintenance on Magellan's Longhorn Pipeline hit that pipeline in Bastrop County, Texas. About 87,000 gallons of crude oil were spilled, resulting in evacuations of nearby residents.
* On July 27, while installing a water pipeline by horizontal drilling, a contractor hit a ONEOK Natural Gas Liquids pipeline, spilling about 126,000 gallons of NGL's near Watford City, North Dakota.
* On August 2, a pipeline leaked up to 1,000 gallons of oil in Signal Hill, California.
* On August 2, a contractor ruptured a jet fuel pipeline in Parkland, Washington.
* On August 2, a natural gas explosion and fire struck the Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Workers may have been moving a gas meter when the explosion hit, killing two people and injuring at least nine others, according to investigators.
* On September 22, a gas pipeline exploded and burned in Welda, Kansas. There were no injuries.
* On September 22, fire broke out at a substation of the Iroquois Pipeline, causing homes to be evacuated and about two miles of Route 37 to be shut down for several hours near Waddington, New York. The cause of the failure was never found.
* On October 18, Louisiana-based oil company LLOG Exploration had a crude oil spill of about 672,000 gallons 40 miles southeast of Venice, Louisiana, citing the cause as a cracked pipeline under the Gulf of Mexico.
* On October 23, at a facility owned by EDC-Timken, operated and maintained by Columbia Gas Transmission in Navarre, Ohio, an unintended natural gas release was noted by the onsite company personnel. While investigating the sound, the single bolt hinged closure that appeared to be the source of the release failed. The closure failure fatally injured one technician. The equipment was installed in 1989. The leak just south of Canton, Ohio, forced authorities to evacuate a neighborhood.
* On November 16, the Keystone Pipeline leaked crude oil near Amherst, South Dakota. The pipeline was shut down within 15 minutes of the leak's discovery. Later, the NTSB found a metal tracked vehicle had run over this section of pipeline, causing the damage. During cleanup activities, state officials say a semi-trailer driver hauling hazardous material to and from the Keystone oil pipeline leak site purposely dumped soil contaminated with crude oil on the side of a northeastern South Dakota road. The original estimate was increased to 6,592 barrels (276,900 US gal) spilled.
* On November 16, three men were injured in a gas pipeline fire in northeastern Weld County, Colorado. One later died of his injuries.
* On November 20, Kinder Morgan’s Connecticut Expansion Project's pipeline test at the Agawam, Massachusetts compressor station discharged 16,500 gallons of hazardous wastewater onto the soil of the compressor station yard; the wastewater contained heavy metals, lead, and carcinogens such as tetrachloroethylene and phthalate. Kinder Morgan blamed subcontractor Henkels & McCoy for an operator error.
* On November 20, a Consumers Energy 22-inch-diameter gas transmission pipeline carrying gas at 600 psi exploded and burned in Orion Township, Michigan, knocking out the county 911 system and causing some evacuations. There were no injuries.
* On November 29, in Richmond, Massachusetts, a Kinder Morgan pipeline overpressure triggered a relief valve to open, releasing natural gas for a blowdown that lasted 40 minutes and sounded like a jet engine. The gas escaped into a nearby residential neighborhood. Firefighters responded to the leak and closed the road. When contacted, pipeline personnel had no idea that there was a problem and offered no reason for their equipment malfunction.
* On December 5, a father and his adult son were killed when a stuck tractor they were trying to free ruptured and ignited a 20-inch-diameter gas pipeline in Lee County, Illinois. Two others were seriously injured. The explosion was on Kinder Morgan’s Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, a 9,200-mile long system that transports natural gas from Texas and Louisiana to Chicago; Kinder Morgan issued a force majeure notice on the pipeline indicating a “third-party strike” as the reason for taking part of the Illinois Lateral out of service.
* On December 6, a gas pipeline exploded and burned in Eddy County, New Mexico. Residents within two miles of the site were evacuated, and several roads in the area were closed. There were no injuries.
* On December 13, an Energy Transfer Partners gas pipeline exploded and burned in Burleson County, Texas. There were no injuries reported.
* On December 31, four workers were injured while working on a 10-inch gas main in Boston, Massachusetts when the gas ignited. Gas had to burn a number of hours due to cold conditions, which prevented the shutting down of gas in the area.

Vaccinator
|
A vaccinator is a person who gives injections of a vaccine to people. Vaccinators require the skills of knowing where to inject the needle into the recipient as well as preparing the substance to be injected. Under normal conditions, routine inoculations can be given by one’s healthcare provider, at a pharmacy, or at special clinics set up in a community. But when a mass vaccination effort is being undertaken, such as during a pandemic, people of various qualifying occupations may be sought specifically for the role as vaccinators due to high demand. Some of them may work full time at the job; others could do so part time in addition to their regular occupation. Some retirees may also work part-time.

Cobalescou Island or Cobălcescu Island is a small snow-free island with two rounded summits, lying 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) east-southeast of Veyka Point, the south extremity of Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. The island was discovered and named by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99. The established name appears to be a corrupted spelling. The toponym was suggested to Gerlache by Emil Racovitza, Romanian zoologist and botanist of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, for Romanian scholar Grigore Cobălcescu, a geologist of European reputation.

# Boskenna
**Boskenna** is an early medieval settlement and large 17th-century manor house (formerly with associated farms and cottages) in the civil parish of St Buryan, west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Nearby, to the south, is the valley and cove of St Loy and the site of St Loy's chapel which was on the Boskenna side of a stream.
## History
It is first recorded as *Boschene* in the 13th or 14th century, and the house was enlarged and altered in the 19th century. Boskenna was the home of the Paynter family for centuries and the oldest part of the Boskenna house dates from 1678 and now forms its northwest wing. The prominent Jacobite James Paynter was from a junior branch of the Paynters of Hayle that settled at Trekenning House in St Columb Major parish. His Paynter relatives at Boskenna were also known to be Jacobite sympathisers and in 1745 villagers at St Buryan were convinced that the Paynter family were harbouring Charles Edward Stuart (the Young Pretender).
In 1881 the estate was ″about 1300 acres of land, pretty much in a ring-fence″. The house was added to extensively in 1888 incorporating some replications of 17th-century features and some original 17th-century ones (though not all in situ) in the exterior. Inside the 17th-century parlour with its fine ribbed plaster ceiling and the 17th-century open-well stair have been retained. The estate was sold in 1957, at which time it consisted of seven farms, five market gardens and a manor house.
English author Mary Wesley stayed at Boskenna with the Paynter family for a period of time and later used it as a backdrop in her novels *The Camomile Lawn*, *Not That Sort of Girl*, *A Dubious Legacy* and *Part of the Furniture*.
Boskenna Cross is a Cornish cross which stands where three roads meet south-east of St Buryan churchtown. It was found buried in a hedge at this road junction in 1869. Only the carved upper part of the cross is ancient.

Asmaka Kingdom
|
Aśmaka, or Pali Assaka, was a kingdom among the 16 Mahajanapadas mentioned in Buddhist literature, in inscriptions including the Ajāntā Caves, and in Sanskrit epic and Purānic literature. All other kingdoms were in the north, from Anga to Gandhara. An alternative theory states that Asmaka was not an independent southern kingdom, but referred instead to Asvaka—a nation in the north ruled by the Kambojas. The epic Mahabharata mentions that the king of the name Asmaka was the adopted son of Saudasa a king of Kosala and an Ikshwaku ruler.

# Asmaka Kingdom
**Aśmaka** (Skt. अश्मक), or Pali Assaka, was a kingdom among the 16 Mahajanapadas mentioned in Buddhist literature, in inscriptions including the Ajāntā Caves, and in Sanskrit epic and Purānic literature. All other kingdoms were in the north, from Anga to Gandhara. An alternative theory states that Asmaka was not an independent southern kingdom, but referred instead to Asvaka—a nation in the north ruled by the Kambojas. The epic Mahabharata mentions that the king of the name *Asmaka* was the adopted son of Saudasa a king of Kosala and an Ikshwaku ruler.
## References in the Mahābhārata
### Asmaka the adopted son of Saudasa
Madayanti, the wife of Saudasa, commanded by her husband to raise offspring went unto Rishi Vasishtha. And on going in unto him, the beautiful Madayanti obtained a son named Asmaka. (1,122).
This history is repeated at (1,197), where it adds that the queen bore the embryo in her womb for a long time. She being impatient upon her pregnancy, hit her stomach by stone (*Aśma*n, अश्मन्, in Sanskrit), hence the son thus born was named Asmaka. He became a great king and founded the city of Paudanya.
### Asmakas in Kurukshetra War
#### On Pandava Side
Asmakas were mentioned to be on the side of Pandavas, with Dhristadyumna, at (7.83)
#### On Kaurava Side
Borne by his well-broken steeds Abhimanyu quickly checked the **son of Asmaka**. Staying before him, the handsome son of Asmaka pierced him with ten shafts and addressing him, said, ‘Wait, Wait.’ Abhimanyu then, with ten shafts, cut off the former’s steeds and charioteer and standard and two arms and bow and head, and caused them to fall down on the earth, smiling the while. After the heroic ruler of the Asmakas had thus been slain by the son of Subhadra, the whole of his force wavered and began to fly away from the field. (7,35)
### Karna's conquests
Dhritarashtra talks of Karna having conquered the mighty foes----the Gandharas, the Madrakas, the Matsyas, the Trigartas, the Tanganas, the Khasas, the Pancalas, the Videhas, the Kulindas, the Kasi-kosalas, the Suhmas, the Angas, the Nishadhas, the Pundras, the Kichakas, the Vatsas, the Kalingas, the Taralas, the Asmakas, and the Rishikas (i.e. south-western Rishikas located in Maharashtra) (8.8) and numerous other tribes including the Kaikeyas, Kambojas, Ambasthas and Videhas, etc.
### Asmaka Sumantu, a sage
Asmaka Sumantu was a sage among the sages who assembled in Kurukshetra, during the last days of Kuru hero Bhishma. (12,47)

Altaïr Ibn-LaʼAhad
|
Altaïr Ibn-LaʼAhad is a fictional character in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed video game series. He first appears as the main playable character in the original Assassin's Creed game, which takes place during the Third Crusade. His later appearances include the spin-offs Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles and Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, which also feature him as the protagonist, and the sequels Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Revelations, in which he is playable only during certain sequences. Philip Shahbaz voiced Altaïr in the original game, while Owen Thomas took over the role in Bloodlines and Cas Anvar voiced him in Revelations. Within the series' alternate historical setting, Altaïr was born in 1165 into the Assassin Brotherhood, an organization inspired by the real-life Order of Assassins dedicated to protecting peace and freedom. Raised and trained by the Assassin leader in Masyaf, Al Mualim, following the loss of his biological parents, Altaïr rose through the Brotherhood's ranks to become one of its most skilled agents. Though initially arrogant and cruel, Altaïr manages to overcome his flaws to become one of the wisest Assassins to ever live. After killing Al Mualim for betraying the Brotherhood, Altaïr succeeds him as Mentor and works to reform the Assassins with the help of a powerful artifact called the Apple of Eden. His further adventures see him protecting the assassin cause from their sworn enemies, the Knights Templar, as well as the rapidly expanding Mongol Empire. Near the end of his life, Altaïr builds a secret library to safeguard his knowledge and the Apple, which would become his final resting place in 1257. Due to his many contributions to the Brotherhood, Altaïr would be honored as one of its most legendary Mentors for centuries after his death. The character has been generally well received, with praise for Altaïr's skills as an Assassin and personal growth. However, some have criticized his lack of backstory in the first game, as well as Philip Shahbaz's vocal performance. Alongside Ezio Auditore da Firenze, he is typically considered the face of the franchise and one of its most popular characters, leading to several crossover appearances outside the Assassin's Creed series.

## Conception and creation
After completing *Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time* in 2003, director Patrice Désilets was instructed to begin work on the next *Prince of Persia* game. However, he wanted to move away from the lead character being a prince simply waiting for his reign to start, onto a character that wanted to strive to be a king. He came upon one of his university books on secret societies and its material related to the Order of Assassins. Désilets recognized that he could have the lead character in the game be the second-highest Assassin, seeking to be the leader of the group. The game began work under the title *Prince of Persia: Assassin*, or *Prince of Persia: Assassins*, inspired by Hassan-i Sabbah's life and making heavy use of Vladimir Bartol's novel *Alamut*. The Assassin character was fleshed out throughout the game's three-year development in an iterative fashion. The team had some idea of how the character dressed from *Alamut* and other historical works in all-white robes and a red belt but had to envision how to detail this in the game. One of the first concept sketches, drawn by animator Khai Nguyen, suggested the concept of a bird of prey, which resonated with the team. The Assassin was named Altaïr, meaning "bird of prey" in Arabic, and eagle imagery was used heavily in connection to the Assassins. Altaïr was to be a heroic character with a bit of a badass edge, and the artist borrowed elements of the *G.I. Joe* character Storm Shadow, a similarly skilled hero. Rendering long flowing robes was impossible on the newer hardware, so they shortened the robe and gave it a more feathered look, resonating the bird of prey imagery.
## Appearances
### *Assassin's Creed*
Altaïr is an ancestor (on the maternal side) of Desmond Miles, the protagonist of most of the early series' modern-day sequences, who experiences Altaïr's life through the Animus, a device unlocking hidden memories inside his DNA. In the original *Assassin's Creed* game, Desmond is forced by Abstergo Industries (a front for the modern-day Templar Order) to relive Altaïr's during the time of the Third Crusade, to help the Templars locate a number of hidden Pieces of Eden—ancient artifacts of great power created by a mysterious Precursor race.
In 1191, Altaïr, a Master Assassin and two fellow Assassins, Malik Al-Sayf and his brother, are sent to Solomon's Temple to recover a Piece of Eden—the Apple—from the Templars. Altaïr inadvertently sabotages the mission when he arrogantly jumps at the opportunity to kill the Templar Grand Master, Robert de Sablé, who overpowers him. Although Altaïr and Malik manage to escape with the Apple, the latter loses both his brother and left arm, leading him to resent Altaïr. After fending off a Templar attack on the Assassin home base of Masyaf, Altaïr is demoted to novice and is tasked by his mentor, Al Mualim, to assassinate nine targets across the Holy Land to redeem himself and regain his old rank.
Traveling between the cities of Damascus, Acre, and Jerusalem, Altaïr identifies and kills his targets, all of whom are revealed to be Templars who have infiltrated both sides of the holy war to further the Order's goals. Altaïr also matures during his quest, becoming more humble and wise and making amends with Malik. Eventually, Altaïr attempts to assassinate his final target, Robert, but is tricked with a decoy: Maria Thorpe. Altaïr spares Maria after she reveals that Robert is meeting with King Richard I to negotiate an alliance between the Crusaders and Saracens against the Assassins, and ultimately kills Robert, foiling his plan. Before dying, Robert reveals that Al Mualim betrayed the Assassins by helping the Templars find the Apple, only to later double-cross them so that he could keep the artifact for himself. Altaïr returns to Masyaf to confront Al Mualim, who has used the Apple to brainwash the residents and most of the Assassin Order as part of his plan to eradicate free will in the name of peace. Altaïr kills Al Mualim, but when he attempts to destroy the Apple, he accidentally unlocks a map showing the locations of more Pieces of Eden.
### *Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles* and *Bloodlines*
*Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles* is a mobile spin-off released in 2008 that acts as a prequel to the original game. The title is set in 1190, and follows Altaïr as he attempts to retrieve an artifact called the Chalice, which he eventually discovers is a woman named Adha, whom he knew and had feelings for in the past. At the end of the game, Adha is captured by the Templars, and although Altaïr attempts to rescue her, killing the Templars' acting leader, Lord Basilisk, in the process, he is unsuccessful. In *Assassin's Creed II*, it is mentioned that Altaïr eventually found Adha again, but she had already been killed by the Templars, which greatly infuriated Altaïr and contributed to his arrogance.
*Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines* is a 2009 PlayStation Portable exclusive game that follows Altaïr roughly one month after the ending of *Assassin's Creed*, as he travels Cyprus to eliminate the last remnants of the Templar Order in the Holy Land. Here, he again runs into Maria Thorpe, and the two begin to develop feelings for each other as they reluctantly work together to learn more about the Apple of Eden and the mysterious Templar Archive on the island, where more Pieces of Eden are believed to be hidden.
### *Assassin's Creed: Revelations*
In *Assassin's Creed: Revelations*, Altaïr takes on the role of a secondary protagonist, as his legacy is explored by the main protagonist, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, an Assassin from 15th-century Italy and another ancestor of Desmond, who is reliving Ezio's memories to find an event linking all three of them in order to awaken from a coma. In 1511, Ezio travels to Masyaf to find a library built by Altaïr and uncover its secrets, coming into conflict with Templars who also seek the knowledge within the library. After learning of five seals that serve as the keys to the library, Ezio travels to Constantinople to find and retrieve them before the Templars. Each seal contains one of Altaïr's memories he imprinted onto them, which serve to guide Ezio on his quest.
The first memory depicts Altaïr saving Al Mualim during a Templar attack on Masyaf in 1189. The second shows Altaïr becoming the new Mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood after Al Mualim's death, and the opposition he faced from his former friend, Abbas Sofian. The third memory depicts Altaïr, his wife Maria and their eldest son Darim's return to Masyaf after assassinating Genghis Khan, only to find that Abbas has staged a coup and executed Darim's brother Sef during their absence. Altaïr tries to take revenge, but Maria stops him, resulting in her death and Altaïr and Darim being forced to flee Masyaf. The fourth memory shows Altaïr's return from his exile in 1247, where he gathers the other Assassins' support and kills Abbas, reclaiming leadership of the Brotherhood, which had nearly collapsed under Abbas' rule. The final memory depicts Altaïr fending off a Mongol attack on Masyaf in 1257, before passing the five seals to Niccolò Polo, trusting him to hide them and spread the Assassins' teachings.
After recovering all the seals, Ezio enters Altaïr's library, finding it empty except for Altaïr's skeleton holding a sixth seal. Imprinted on the seal are the final moments of Altaïr's life, revealing that he locked himself inside the library to safeguard his Apple of Eden. Understanding the lesson Altaïr tried to convey through his memories, Ezio leaves the Apple there and retires from the Assassins, refusing to dedicate his entire life to serving the Brotherhood like Altaïr had. He then acknowledges that Desmond is observing him and puts his faith in him that he will succeed where both Altaïr and Ezio could not; effectively linking all three protagonists and allowing Desmond to awaken from his coma.
## Other appearances
### *Assassin's Creed* series
Altaïr's legacy plays an important role in *Assassin's Creed II*, where a statue of him is located in an underground sanctuary underneath the Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni, alongside other statues of legendary Assassin figures. The sanctuary also contains the Armor of Altaïr, a set of virtually indestructible armor which he created using knowledge gained from the Apple of Eden and which was sealed away. Additionally, pages of Altaïr's journal, the Codex, serve as in-game collectibles, and contain instructions on various weapon upgrades, such as the Poison Blade and the Hidden Gun, which will be built by Leonardo da Vinci upon delivering the pages to him. At one point during the game, Desmond begins to experience the "Bleeding Effect," which causes him to relive a memory of Altaïr outside of the Animus. This is the only instance in the game where Altaïr is playable.
In the present-day section of *Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag*, a market analysis for Abstergo Entertainment, the fictional video games subsidiary of Abstergo Industries, can be found via hacking computers. The Market Analysis reveals Abstergo was looking into the possibility of using Altaïr as a role model for Abstergo's outreach programs, but found his habit of flouting his cultures taboos (demonstrated by video of him burning Al Mualim's body) and passed on using Altaïr, instead deciding to focus on Abbas Sofian, whose character they found more suitable for their purposes. Despite this, in *Assassin's Creed Unity*, Abstergo has produced a fictional video game starring Altaïr, titled *Murder in the Levant*, which can be seen at the start.
Altaïr's outfit has been an unlockable cosmetic option in every mainline *Assassin's Creed* game since *Assassin's Creed II*, with the exception of *Syndicate* and *Odyssey*. In 2018, Altaïr became a playable character in the free to play role-playing mobile game *Assassin's Creed Rebellion*.
In literature, Altaïr has appeared as the protagonist of the novel *Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade* by Oliver Bowden, which chronicles most of his life (as described by Niccolò Polo in his journal), including events not depicted in any of the games. He is also featured in the second issue of the 2017 comic book miniseries, *Assassin's Creed: Reflections*, which details his role in the assassination of Genghis Khan, carried out in 1227 by Altaïr's son Darim and the Mongolian Assassin Qulan Gal.
### Other
## Promotion and reception
Like other protagonists in the series, Altaïr has been subject to merchandise. Altaïr's likeness, along with five other series protagonists, was used for a line of character-themed wine labels as part of a joint collaboration between Ubisoft and winemaker Lot18 in 2018; the full name of his label is "2017 Altaïr Ibn-La'ahad Loire Valley IGP Cabernet Franc".
The character of Altaïr was generally well received. In 2008, *The Age* ranked Altaïr as the fourth greatest Xbox character of all time, declaring "Not everybody was overly enamoured with *Assassin's Creed*, but we have nothing but respect for its protagonist ... If everything about the game he inhabited had been as polished and brilliant as him, we certainly would have felt very differently about *Assassin's Creed*." In 2008, Mikel Reparaz of GamesRadar ranked him as the sixth best assassin in gaming, stating "Cool talents aside, Altaïr's a pretty compelling character in his own right, gradually growing out of his arrogant-prick phase to become more noble and altruistic. And as he does, he begins to actually question the morality of what he's doing, something few of the other assassins on this list ever do." Although Altaïr ultimately did not make the cut, *Game Informer* staff considered his inclusion in their "30 characters that defined a decade" collection, with Joe Juba saying, "Altaïr's rise to power is no less dramatic and impressive than Ezio's – it's just most of his transformation into a peerless master assassin took place off-screen."
However other sources were more critical of the character. Hilary Goldstein of IGN, in her review of the original *Assassin's Creed*, called the voice acting for Altaïr "abysmal," going on to say that he "speaks with an American accent and sounds as if he is auditioning for community theatre." GameSpot's Kevin VanOrd was somewhat less critical of Shabaz's performance, writing that he did an "all-right" job as Altaïr, but still found him lacking compared to the other actors in the game. Some critics also took note of his undisclosed backstory in the original game. GameSpy's Will Tuttle, when comparing the character to *Assassin's Creed II*'s protagonist Ezio Auditore, wrote that while Altaïr was "undeniably badass," the lack of any backstory or motives made him difficult to care about.

Angle Township, Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota
|
Angle Township is a township in Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 119 at the 2010 census. At 49.22° north latitude, it is the northernmost township in Minnesota and the Contiguous United States. The unincorporated communities of Oak Island, Angle Inlet and Penasse are located in the township.

# Angle Township, Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota
49°15′49″N 95°02′45″W / 49.2636142°N 95.0457290°W / 49.2636142; -95.0457290
**Angle Township** is a township in Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 119 at the 2010 census. At 49.22° north latitude, it is the northernmost township in Minnesota and the Contiguous United States. (See extreme points of the United States and Northwest Angle.) The unincorporated communities of Oak Island, Angle Inlet and Penasse are located in the township.
## Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 596.3 mi<sup>2</sup> (1,544.5 km<sup>2</sup>); 123.1 mi<sup>2</sup> (318.8 km<sup>2</sup>) is land and 473.2 mi<sup>2</sup> (1,225.7 km<sup>2</sup>) (79.63%) water.
The initial establishment of Angle Township being in the United States was due to a map-maker's error. Benjamin Franklin and British representatives established the initial U.S. and Canadian borders in the Treaty of Paris in 1783 from a map that misrepresented the source of the Mississippi River.
In 1997, in order to change what were considered unequal fishing regulations between the U.S. and Canada, Angle Township resident Gary Dietzler utilized this cartographical mishap to implement a mock secession from the United States, going so far as to get a bill issued by their Congressman Collin Peterson (D) in the U.S. House of Representatives. The mock secession succeeded in getting fishing regulations better synchronized across these international (fresh) waters.
## Demographics
As of the census of 2000, there were 152 people, 71 households, and 48 families residing in the township. The population density was 1.2/mi<sup>2</sup> (0.5/km<sup>2</sup>). There were 272 housing units at an average density of 2.2/mi<sup>2</sup> (0.9/km<sup>2</sup>). The racial makeup of the township was 100% White. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.66% of the population (1 person).
There were 71 households, out of which 14.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 63.4% were married couples living together, 1.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 31.0% were non-families. 23.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 5.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.14 and the average family size was 2.53.
In the township the population was spread out, with 14.5% under the age of 18, 3.3% from 18 to 24, 21.1% from 25 to 44, 48.7% from 45 to 64, and 12.5% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 50 years. For every 100 females, there were 120.3 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 124.1 males.
The median income for a household in the township was $28,500, and the median income for a family was $31,250. Males had a median income of $28,500 versus $21,250 for females. The per capita income for the township was $13,932. About 13.3% of families and 12.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including none of those under the age of 18 or 65 and older.

**Cullman Regional Airport-Folsom Field** (ICAO: **KCMD**, FAA LID: **CMD, formerly 3A1**) is a public-use airport located five nautical miles (6 mi, 9 km) north of the central business district of Cullman, a city in Cullman County, Alabama, United States. It is owned by the City and County of Cullman.
This airport is included in the Federal Aviation Administration's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 and 2009–2013, both of which are categorized as a *general aviation* airport.
## Facilities and aircraft
Folsom Field covers an area of 90 acres (36 ha) at an elevation of 969 feet (295 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 2/20 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,500 by 100 feet (1,676 x 30 m).
For the 12-month period ending July 28, 2010, the airport had 37,830 aircraft operations, an average of 103 per day: 99.7% general aviation and 0.3% military. At that time there were 57 aircraft based at this airport: 86% single-engine, 5% multi-engine and 9% helicopter.
## Skydive Alabama
Skydive Alabama (SA), a civilian skydiving center, is operated out of Folsom Field. SA is a United States Parachute Association (USPA)-affiliated drop zone that operates year-round, maintaining a Beech 99. Most skydives take place from an altitude of around 14,000 feet, but high altitude jumps from 18,000 feet are commonly made with the use of supplemental oxygen.
## Accidents and incidents
* On 23 November 1982, popular Southern Baptist religious humorist, television personality and author Grady Nutt and two pilots with air charter operator Central American Inter'l Inc. were killed in the near-vertical crash of a Beechcraft Baron 95-B55, registration number *N18411*, shortly after takeoff under nighttime instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was unable to conclusively determine the cause of the crash, but bad weather and poor visibility were thought to be contributing factors.
* On 5 March 1984, the pilot and five passengers in a Cessna 421B, registration number *N3291Q*, were killed when the aircraft impacted trees 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of the airport during an incorrectly executed nighttime instrument approach in IMC conditions. The NTSB attributed the accident to the pilot's failure to initiate a missed approach, his failure to maintain altitude, his lack of recent instrument flying experience, and his history of heart problems; contributing factors were poor visibility and adverse weather.
* On 14 January 1999, a Beechcraft 300, registration number *N780BF*, was destroyed in a crash approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north of the airport after making a series of erratic turns during a missed approach in IMC conditions, killing the pilot and single passenger. The NTSB attributed the accident to the pilot's failure to correctly execute the missed approach procedure; a contributing factor was the lack of fixed-wing flight experience by the pilot, whose previous flying had almost exclusively been conducted in military rotorcraft.
* On 5 January 2020, an amateur-built Van's Aircraft RV-6, registration number *N420PW*, crashed on the field in a left spin during an apparent attempt to return to the airport after an engine failure on takeoff. Two people, the pilot and passenger on board, were killed. The accident is under investigation by the NTSB.
* On 20 February 2021, a Piper PA-32 crashed near the airport, killing one occupant and severely injuring the other. Four days later, the second aircraft occupant died from injuries sustained in the crash. NTSB investigators confirmed that one of the occupants reported the aircraft had lost power before the accident.

Arena Glacier

Arena Glacier is a glacier on Trinity Peninsula, the northernmost region of the Antarctic Peninsula. The glacier is 3 miles (5 km) long and flows northeast from Mount Taylor into Hope Bay, 2 miles (3 km) southwest of Sheppard Point. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped the area in 1948 and again in 1955. Due to its flat ice floor on the upper half, they named it Arena Glacie, which was surrounded by the steep slopes of the Twin Peaks, Mount Taylor and Blade Ridge, resembling an arena.

# Buffalo Narrows murders
On the night of January 30, 1969, in Buffalo Narrows, Saskatchewan, Canada, Frederick Moses McCallum, 19, broke into the Pederson family home with a long-handled fire axe, killing seven people and wounding one.
## Events
Frederick Moses McCallum, 19, broke the door to the Pederson family home and, with a long-handled fire axe, killed seven people and wounded one. In the home, he killed the father, mother, family friend, two sons, and two daughters and wounded one son. All the bodies of family members lay in bed, and the body of a family friend lay in the living room. After the killings, McCallum called a local priest and told him about the killings. The priest called the police. When police detained McCallum, he was sat in the kitchen and drinking tea. After the murders, the wounded son was in a coma for several months. In court, a psychiatrist said McCallum had signs of schizophrenia. McCallum was initially found unfit for criminal responsibility and sent to a psychiatric hospital in Ontario. In 1970, he was allowed to stand trial, and McCallum was sent to Prince Albert Penitentiary. After some time, he was again diagnosed with schizophrenia and sent to a psychiatric institution in Penetanguishene. In 1989, McCallum was released on the condition that he did not return to Saskatchewan.
## Victims
In the two-room house the RCMP found the bodies of:
* Thomas Pederson, 32
* John Baptiste Herman, 48, of La Loche, who was a guest
* Grace Ann Pederson, 8
* Robert Thomas Pederson, 5
* Richard Daniel Pederson, 4
* Rhonda Beatrice Pederson, 2
* Bernadette Pederson, 32, the mother of the children, died a few hours later
* Fred Donald Pederson, 7, survived the attack with head injuries

Decarbonisation measures in proposed UK electricity market reform
|
The United Kingdom is committed to legally binding greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets of 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050, compared to 1990 levels, as set out in the Climate Change Act 2008. Decarbonisation of electricity generation will form a major part of this reduction and is essential before other sectors of the economy can be successfully decarbonised. The Government’s proposals for electricity market reform, published in a White Paper in July 2011, included three initiatives to encourage decarbonisation of electricity generation in the UK: A Carbon Price Floor to complement the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme; Feed-in tariffs which will eventually replace the Renewables Obligation; and an Emissions Performance Standard to restrict future use of the most carbon-intensive forms of generation. In implementing these proposals, the Government aims to attract investment in low-carbon generation, deliver security of supply through an appropriate mix of electricity sources and ensure a minimum amount of impact on consumer bills; all this at a time when security of supply is threatened by scheduled closures of existing plants and both the demand for, and subsequently the price of, electricity is increasing.

# Decarbonisation measures in proposed UK electricity market reform

Decarbonisation of electricity generation will form a major part of this reduction and is essential before other sectors of the economy can be successfully decarbonised.
The Government’s proposals for **electricity market reform**, published in a White Paper in July 2011, included three initiatives to encourage decarbonisation of electricity generation in the UK: A Carbon Price Floor to complement the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS); Feed-in tariffs which will eventually replace the Renewables Obligation; and an Emissions Performance Standard to restrict future use of the most carbon-intensive forms of generation.
In implementing these proposals, the Government aims to attract investment in low-carbon generation, deliver security of supply through an appropriate mix of electricity sources and ensure a minimum amount of impact on consumer bills; all this at a time when security of supply is threatened by scheduled closures of existing plants and both the demand for, and subsequently the price of, electricity is increasing.
## Proposals for decarbonisation
The Government published *Planning Our Electric Future: A White Paper for Secure, Affordable and Low-Carbon Electricity* in July 2011. The paper contained three proposals designed to encourage decarbonisation of the UK electricity sector, the rationale behind the introduction and potential impacts of a Carbon Price Floor, Feed-in tariffs and an Emissions Performance Standard are discussed in turn below.
### Carbon price floor
The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is a cap and trade system covering the European electricity generation sector and energy intensive industries. Introduced in 2005, it provides a mechanism through which the European price of carbon can be gradually increased to take into account negative externalities, such as the social and environmental impact of emissions, which would not normally be considered.
The inability of the market to reflect the full cost of carbon is known as a market failure. The importance of accounting for the full cost of carbon in investment decisions was highlighted by the influential Stern Review of the Economics of Climate Change which found that the cost of taking action to reduce emissions now is much less than the cost to the economy if no action is taken and adaptation is required at a later date.
The EU ETS operates by setting an overall cap on emissions and allocating tradable permits to participants in the scheme. If a participant wishes to emit more than their allocation they must purchase additional permits from a participant who does not require their full allocation. The price of carbon is escalated slowly by reducing the amount of credits in circulation, gradually increasing the incentive for businesses to seek low-carbon alternatives.
Rather than forcing all participants to reduce emissions by a set amount, cap and trade systems allow individual organisations to respond in the most effective way, whether by reducing emissions or buying extra permits, thereby reducing the overall cost of achieving emissions reductions.
In practice however, whilst providing certainty over the pace and scale of EU emissions reductions, the EU ETS has failed to raise the price of carbon sufficiently to steer behaviour away from carbon-intensive practices. This failure can be attributed to the presence of a surplus amount of credits in the system, both due to the application of the principle of precedent, whereby free permits were allocated to actors whose business is completely dependent on producing emissions, and a lack of data on actual emissions when the original cap was set.
The failures identified are not failures of the cap and trade system itself, rather failures in its implementation. Emissions trading remains the Government’s preferred option for reducing emissions, an approach also supported by the Stern Review. Steps can be taken to improve the effectiveness of the EU ETS, in fact, the presence of surplus credits would start to be addressed from 2013, after which the cap will be tightened each year and the number of credits in the system reduced. However, given that the initial cap appears to have been set too high, the carbon price may remain low, and subject to volatility, for some time after this date until the cap is tightened sufficiently.
Due in part to failures in the implementation of the EU ETS and a discrepancy between EU and UK emissions reduction targets, the EU scheme is not consistent with the pace and scale of change required to meet UK decarbonisation targets. As such, the carbon price set by the EU ETS has not been certain or high enough to encourage sufficient investment in low-carbon electricity generation in the UK. The UK Government has therefore identified that additional incentives are required to ensure that progress towards meeting the UK emissions reduction targets continues to be made. Furthermore the measures should be coherent with the EU ETS so that the UK can continue operating within the scheme until an additional incentive is no longer required. The introduction of the Carbon Price Floor is intended to achieve these aims.
Setting a Carbon Price Floor will prevent the price of carbon in the UK falling below a target level by topping up the carbon price set by the EU ETS when necessary. The target level chosen by the Government must be high enough to provide a strong signal to investors that low-carbon electricity generation represents a secure, long-term investment. A secondary aim is to encourage a change in dispatch decisions for existing generation, favouring the use of less carbon-intensive generation over more traditional forms when both are available. The carbon price floor is intended to provide greater certainty on future carbon prices, protecting investors in UK low-carbon initiatives from the volatility of the EU carbon price. This has the effect of reducing the amount of risk that investors are exposed to and decreasing the cost of capital for low-carbon investment.
In setting the Carbon Floor Price, the Government must achieve a balance between encouraging investments in low-carbon generation without unfairly impacting existing generators, undermining the competitiveness of UK industry or increasing electricity prices unduly. For these reasons, the introduction of a Carbon Floor Price is insufficient on its own to deliver sufficient investment and is supplemented by a proposed change in the support mechanism for low-carbon generation to a form of Feed-in tariff, discussed below.
### Feed-in tariff
A Feed-in tariff (FIT) provides a fixed level of income for a low-carbon generator over a specified period of time. There are three main types: a Premium FIT offers a static payment in addition to the revenue gained by selling electricity on the market; a Fixed FIT provides a static payment designed to replace any revenue from selling in the electricity market; and a FIT with a contract for difference (CfD), where a variable payment is made to ensure that the generator receives the agreed tariff assuming they sell their electricity at market price.
A FIT with CfD is the Government’s preferred choice as it is deemed to be the most cost-effective whilst retaining an appropriate amount of exposure to market forces. The requirement to sell electricity on the market encourages operators to make efficient decisions about dispatch and maintenance given that revenues above the agreed tariff can be achieved if electricity is sold at above the average market price. Contact with the market would be completely removed under a Fixed FIT, potentially leading to sub-optimal operational decisions, and too great under a Premium FIT, over-exposing operators to future electricity price uncertainty.
It is proposed that Feed-in tariffs with Contracts for Difference (FIT CfD) will replace the current support mechanism, the Renewables Obligation (RO), in 2017 after running in parallel from 2013. The Renewables Obligation encourages the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources by awarding Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) to generators. Renewables Obligation Certificates provide an additional source of income in that they can be sold to suppliers who are obligated to source an increasing amount of the electricity they provide from renewable energy sources.
The Renewables Obligation has been successful in encouraging the development of well established forms of renewable energy such as landfill gas and onshore wind but has been less successful in bringing through less well developed technologies to market competitiveness. Modelling of future deployment scenarios indicates that a significant contribution would be required from less mature technologies which lacked sufficient incentive to develop into feasible alternatives under the original Renewables Obligation scheme. The Renewables Obligation also does not apply to nuclear generation.
Further criticism of the Renewables Obligation in its original form included uncertainty over the price of a Renewables Obligation Certificate, which varies depending on demand and could reduce significantly if the amount of electricity produced from renewable energy sources approaches the obligation level. The presence of this risk acted as a perverse incentive for the market not to meet the obligation.
The Renewables Obligation has also been criticised for acting as a barrier to entry for small generators, with only large companies able to overcome the high transaction costs and high investment risks associated with the mechanism. Any reduction in risk would improve access to capital markets which is especially important for small companies who can’t finance projects from their balance sheet alone.
Reforms of the Renewables Obligation since its introduction in 2002 have aimed to address these issues. The introduction of banding in 2009 allowed the incentives for renewable energy technologies that are further from market to be increased whilst the amount of support for well established technologies could be reduced to avoid over-subsidisation. The introduction of guaranteed headroom, also in 2009, eliminated the risk of a significant drop in ROC prices by setting the obligation level to ensure that there is always sufficient demand for ROCs. Feed-in tariffs were introduced in 2010 as an alternative to the Renewables Obligation for projects of less than 5MW with the aim of simplifying the process and removing barriers to access for smaller generators. The Renewables Obligation scheme was also extended to alleviate concerns over the finite and limited duration of subsidies.
Mitigating some of the risks associated with the support mechanism is an alternative to raising the level of support. Despite the reforms to the Renewables Obligation detailed above, some risks, such as uncertainty over future electricity prices, remained. The introduction of a feed-in tariff to support all low-carbon generation successfully addresses this risk, which should translate into a reduced cost of capital. The introduction of a feed-in tariff is therefore intended to reduce the cost of delivering low-carbon electricity supply. Feed-in tariffs may not be as efficient in the short term but provide long term stability, incentives and resources for efficiency savings allowing tariffs to be reduced in the future.
Policy uncertainty can be created due to excessive change in the support mechanism. The Government has taken steps to mitigate this risk by publishing timetables and consulting with industry on the scale and pace of reforms, conducting an impact assessment, overlapping the introduction of feed-in tariffs with the Renewables Obligation for a period of four years and pledging to continue providing support for existing schemes under the Renewables Obligation. Despite these measures, the introduction of a new incentive scheme runs the risk of triggering a hiatus in investment if investors are unsure about how the scheme will work or uncertain whether it represents a good investment.
In addition to reforming the support mechanism, the Government is simultaneously taking steps to address other barriers to deployment, such as delays caused by the planning system and availability of grid connections. The Renewable Energy Roadmap, published by the Government in 2011, identifies the main barriers to deployment and potential deployment levels for each form of renewable energy and details how these barriers will be overcome.
### Emissions performance standard
The decarbonisation incentives provided by the Carbon Price Floor and Feed-In Tariffs are further supplemented by the proposed introduction of an Emissions Performance Standard (EPS) to limit the amount of carbon dioxide that new power stations can emit per kWh of electricity generated. An Emissions Performance Standard is deemed to be required in the event that the market incentives detailed above are not sufficient in themselves to steer the electricity sector away from the most carbon intensive forms of generation.
The level at which the EPS is set recognises that fossil fuel generation currently still has an important role to play in ensuring security of supply, providing stable base-load and flexibility, whilst at the same time retaining consistency with decarbonisation objectives by preventing the construction of new coal-fired power stations without carbon capture and storage technology and maintaining affordable electricity prices.
The proposed EPS only applies to electricity generation, and is set at a level to balance the delivery of decarbonisation targets against the cost of electricity. Using the argument that decarbonising electricity is key to decarbonising UK energy supplies, many commentators have criticised H.M.Government for not introducing a far more onerous 2030 electricity EPS. This argument is based on the incorrect assumption that gas cannot be decarbonised economically at large scale.
Typically methane synthesis produces around 55% CO<sub>2</sub> and 45% CH<sub>4</sub>. Separating these gases into two streams in order to inject Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) into the gas grid leaves high purity, high pressure CO<sub>2</sub> as a waste by-product readily available for use for CCS at near zero marginal cost of capture and compression. If 45% biogenic:55%fossil mixed fuel is used to produce SNG with CCS, zero net CO<sub>2</sub> emissions are produced. This concept is called Low Carbon Gas (LCG). In USA, it is called Carbon Neutral SNG. The typical marginal abatement cost of carbon for LCG making is around 40 to 50p/tonne supercritical CO<sub>2</sub>.
Gas is a storable primary energy resource, whereas electricity is an instantaneous secondary energy vector. Energy flows from the gas grid, but vice versa. 250 times more energy is stored as gas in UK than as electricity. The capital cost of gas transmission is 1/15th the cost per MWkm of electricity transmission. 5 times more energy flows through the gas grid than the electricity grid at the Winter demand peak.
Gas is typically 1/3rd the cost per unit energy of electricity. Carbon negative gas can be produced from mixed wastes, biomass and coal at large scale at a cost of around 45 to 50 p/therm, 1/6th DECC and OFGEM's projected 2030 cost per unit energy of decarbonised electricity of £100/MWh.
The technology to produce large quantities of low cost Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) was developed jointly between HM Ministry of Fuel and Power and British Gas Corporation between 1955 and 1992, with a view to supplying the whole of UK gas demand post-2010 when it was foreseen that North Sea gas would run out. Key elements of British Gas SNG technology are currently in use at the World's largest and longest-running SNG plant with Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) at Great Plains in Dakota, and are being developed at industrial scale in China under the current 2010 to 2015 Five Year Plan.
A simple modification to the British Gas SNG technology will enable carbon negative SNG to be produces at 60 bar pressure, and high purity supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> to be produced at 150 bar pressure, at near zero net loss of energy efficiency, or additional cost. Carbon negative SNG can be used to generate carbon negative electricity at lower cost than incumbent fossil gas or electricity. Given that electricity and gas can both be decarbonised with equal facility, and at nearly equal low costs, there is no need to introduce an onerous EPS with a view to largely 'squeezing' gas fired electricity generation off the grid by 2030. Instead it is proposed that technology neutral equal renewables and decarbonisation targets are introduced for both low carbon gas and electricity, with Contracts for Differences for both low carbon gas and low carbon electricity, the relative 'strike prices' to be set by reference to the historic gas to electricity price ratio. This will spread cost-effective decarbonisation equally over both the gas and electricity grids, and their associated infrastructure.
The final enacted version of The Energy Act 2013 included a late amendment: Schedule 4 to Section 57 of the Act. Schedule 4 enables any gasification plant, CCS plant, and any two or more associated power plants, or any part thereof, to be considered as a single system for the determination of net anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, and low carbon electricity generation. The Schedule is silent about what fuel may be used for gasification; how the gasification and CCS plants operate or are inter-connected, and what type of gaseous energy vector flows from the gasification and CCS plants to the two or more power plants, or any part thereof. Typically, gaseous energy vectors used for power generation are: synthesis gas (aka Syngas or town gas \- a mixture of CO, CO<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub>); Hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>), or methane (aka natural gas, synthetic natural gas or biomethane \- CH<sub>4</sub>).
Any of the above gas vectors could comply with the terms of Schedule 4. In reality, the only gas transmission network in the UK connecting two or more power plants is the existing UK gas grid. Provided, therefore, that methane injected into the grid has had its anthropogenic carbon emissions offset at source by the use of either biogenic fuels, CCS or a combination of both, such methane will comply with the terms of The Energy Act, and generators burning such gas to produce low carbon electricity will be eligible for support by Contracts for Differences. DECC has confirmed that such a scheme is eligible for support by CfD.
As carbon offset methane injected into the high pressure gas transmission grid will be distributed equally to all gas end users: transport, heat, industry and power generators, enhanced revenue earned by CfD supported gas fired power stations can be used to underwrite the decarbonizing of the gas grid.
## Summary
In combination, the introduction of a Carbon Price Floor and Feed-In Tariffs would act as two clear economic signals to the market with the aim of encouraging a market response to the challenge of decarbonising the UK electricity generation sector. The Emissions Performance Standard is a regulatory backup designed to complement the incentives for low-carbon generation by preventing further construction of the most carbon-intensive forms of generation.
As the need for action to meet the UK’s emissions reduction targets has become more urgent the Government has provided an increased level of steering through both market-based incentives and regulation. The Government has intervened to ensure that market signals provided by the carbon price and incentives for low-carbon generation are strong enough to encourage sufficient investment in decarbonisation.
The Government has been reluctant to intervene in the past, preferring instead to defer to market forces, but, as illustrated by the evolution of the Renewables Obligation, the Government has found it increasingly necessary to perform a more strategic role. The requirement for Government intervention does not necessarily mean that markets are unable to deliver the required changes, indeed, market mechanisms remain the preferred option for decarbonising UK electricity supply, just that they must be designed and implemented in such a way that delivers the scale and pace of change required.
There is no plan to revert to pre-privatisation ‘Command and Control’ type policy. Instead policy frameworks, market design and regulation are the tools by which the Government seeks to drive investment in energy projects which are considered to be compatible with policy objectives. In other words, the market still decides, but the Government designs the market framework in a way that influences the decision.

# Cuphead (character)
**Cuphead** is a title character from the 2017 video game *Cuphead*. He alongside his brother Mugman served as the main protagonists in which they lose a game of dice against the devil and they made a deal with the Devil. He was created by Chad Moldenhaiuer to replace their placeholder character in which Chad and Jared Moldenhauer has brainstormed and sketch lots of character ideas.
Cuphead has generally positively received, with one of the critics comparing him and his brother to Mario and Luigi. Cuphead would also appeared in other games including *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*.
## Conception and characteristics
During the early development of the game, Studio MDHR needed a main character to replace a “little weird green guy” with a hat they been using as a placeholder according to Jared Moldenhauer. The team brainstormed lots of 1930's-themed concepts while his brother Chad Moldenhauer started paying attention to the backgrounds in the old cartoons, instead of the characters. Moldenhauer also designed few concept sketches of the character which started with simple ideas based on people and animals, but soon realized that these designs were common in classic animation works. Chad and Jared Moldenhauer began designing the character's head look like a light bulb, a cactus, and a fishbowl and existing characters from retro video games and old cartoons as inspiration. Chad elaborated during the brainstorming process, jested to draw something like an anvil for a head however, the two couldn't remember the exact object of inspiration. Chad randomly tried drawing a character with a cup as it head and Jared found the design was "a lot skinnier and spindlier." Once him and Jared Moldenhauer came up with the character, they knew that they had something special.
Cuphead's gloves are coloured white while sometimes, it was yellow due of characters from the golden age of American animation such as Mickey Mouse also having his gloves sometimes white and yellow according to *TheGamer* writer Sean Murray. Tru Valentino got the audition from his agent to voiced Cuphead for *The Cuphead Show*. Since the character doesn't speak in the original game, in an interview with Valentino alongside with Frank Todaro and *CBR* writer Sam Stone, who he asked the two if have the benefit of having a relatively blank canvas however, Valentino said that it had to be an East Coast kind of vibe.
## Appearances
Cuphead first appeared in 2017 video game *Cuphead* as the main protagonist and player character who him and his brother Mugman lose a game of dice against the Devil and have to saved their own souls by collecting soul contracts from bosses. By the end of the game, the two manages to complete their goals by defeated all of the bosses and their soul contacts. In *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*, Cuphead appeared as a costume for the playable Mii Gunner character which was released as downloadable content on January 28, 2020. He also appeared in 2020 video game *Fall Guys* as one of the player's costume. Cuphead has appeared in the animated televison series *The Cuphead Show*.
## Reception
Cuphead has received generally positive reception, with *Nintendo Life* writer Jim Norman noting like other video game characters, Cuphead was immortalised into a Nendoroid figure. *Screen Rant* writer Kayla Singleton described Cuphead as "playful riffraff" and noticed that his sense of right and wrong is a "bit blurry" to him. Despite of his reckless action, he will do anything to protect his family. Cuphead alongside with Mugman has share a lot in common with Mario and Luigi from the *Mario* franchise according to *Game Rant* writer Carlos Zotomayor from both of them are brothers, their behaviors, aesthetics, gameplay, and lore significance. He wrote on the article that Cuphead's influence of Mario and Luigi helped make him stand out from other video game protagonists.
*Game Informer* writer Ben Hanson wrote that the game's co-creator Jared Moldenhauer jested in an interview with Nintendo's manager Kirk Scott about how badly he wanted to see Cuphead and Mugman in *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*. Moldenhauer has dreamed of the game and acknowledged that "\[Cuphead and Mugman\] belong in there. So basically if fans want it, He couldn’t see how Nintendo wouldn’t want the fans to get what they wanted." Scott asked Moldenhauer of which characters would most likely to go against Cuphead in the game and he answered Ice Climbers.

Thomas Avinger was an American composer, conductor and systems analyst for the oil industry.

# Thomas Avinger
**Thomas Avinger** (Weslaco, Texas, September 28, 1928 Houston, Texas, November 18, 2000) was an American composer, conductor and systems analyst for the oil industry.
## Biography
Born in Weslaco, Texas, he taught himself to play the piano at the age of 19. He attended Edinburg Junior College (which later became the University of Texas–Pan American and more recently became the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley). He then graduated from Baylor University in 1952 with a Bachelor of Music degree and a Master of Music degree in 1957. Between his college degrees (from September 1952 to June 1954), he was stationed with the United States Army at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, where he was the musical director of the Soldiers' Section of Special Services.
After completing his graduate work, he began working for the Humble Oil and Refining Company (now part of Exxon-Mobil, USA). He spent the next forty years there as a systems analyst. He was married to JoAnn Avinger for 45 years, and they had two sons, Erich and Peter.
## Music
Avinger was comfortable with his career in technology while also composing music when possible, saying "I think I have the best of both worlds. I have the satisfaction of a corporate career that I enjoy and the pleasure of composing music and hearing it performed. One doesn't have to choose between the arts and business today."
Like the better-known Charles Ives, he was not a full-time musician or composer, yet he completed at least 50 musical works, including a one-act opera, a ballet suite, orchestral works with chorus, and various smaller works for chorus, piano, chamber ensembles, and art songs. His musical style has been compared to Shostakovich's for its "lofty, inspiring melodies and startling romantic passages".
During his lifetime, his works were performed at Baylor University, Eastern Illinois University the Moores School of Music, by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for a Composers Conference moderated by Darius Milhaud, and many churches and smaller venues in Texas.
As a performing musician, Avinger conducted and sang in numerous choirs, as was the assistant conductor of the Houston Symphony Chorale.

# Fontana di Piazza Nicosia
The **Fontana di Piazza Nicosia** is a fountain in Rome, Italy, is the first of the modern fountains of Rome. It is located in the square with the same name.
## History
Built in 1572 after the re-activation of the Acqua Vergine aqueduct, it was designed by Giacomo della Porta, and was originally located in the Piazza del Popolo around the obelisk.
### Redesign
In 1823, however, after the fountain was judged to be too small for the size of the piazza, Giuseppe Valadier designed a new fountain for the Popolo, that consisted of four mini-fountains of lions surrounding the obelisk, that can be seen today, and the fountain was moved to its final position in the Piazza Nicosia. Of the original fountain, however, only the large octagonal marble basin is original; the upper baluster and display bowl was a later construction.
### Remnants
The original design included four Tritons, however, once sculpted, they were judged to be too large for the size of the basin, and so became part of the Fontana del Moro.

Weyerhaeuser Glacier
|
Weyerhaeuser Glacier is a large glacier flowing north into Mercator Ice Piedmont close west of Mobiloil Inlet, on the east coast of Antarctic Peninsula. This glacier lies in the area first explored from the air by Sir Hubert Wilkins in 1928 and Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935, but it was first clearly delineated in aerial photographs taken by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) in 1940. The glacier was resighted in 1947 by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Ronne. He named it for F. K. Weyerhaeuser, of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., who contributed lumber and insulating material to the expedition.

Ebarat I
|
Ebarat I, king number 3 in the Shimashki kings list (SKL). He is mentioned in several documents of Third Dynasty of Ur, from year 44 of Šulgi to year 8 of Šu-Sin. Documents show that he ruled at about the same time as Girnamme and at the same time as Tazitta, kings #1 and #2 from the SKL. The inscription on bronze bowl MS 4476 mentions Ebarat (de-ba-ra-at) as a father of Kindattu and grandfather of Idadu I, kings no 6 and 7 in the SKL. The spelling ia-a-ba-ra-at later became e-ba-ra-at and e-ba-ar-ti reflecting the historic shift of /’a/ to /e/ in Elamite.

Booting process of Windows NT
|
The booting process of Windows NT is the process run to start Windows NT. The process has been changed between releases, with the biggest changes being made with Windows Vista. In versions before Vista, the booting process begins when the BIOS loads the Windows NT bootloader, NTLDR. Starting with Vista, the booting process begins with either the BIOS or UEFI loading the Windows Boot Manager, which replaces NTLDR as the bootloader. Next, the bootloader starts the kernel, which starts the session manager, which begins the login process. Once the user is logged in, File Explorer, the graphical user interface used by Windows NT, is started.

# Booting process of Windows NT
The **booting process of Windows NT** is the process run to start Windows NT. The process has been changed between releases, with the biggest changes being made with Windows Vista. In versions before Vista, the booting process begins when the BIOS loads the Windows NT bootloader, NTLDR. Starting with Vista, the booting process begins with either the BIOS or UEFI loading the Windows Boot Manager, which replaces NTLDR as the bootloader. Next, the bootloader starts the kernel, which starts the session manager, which begins the login process. Once the user is logged in, File Explorer, the graphical user interface used by Windows NT, is started.
## History
Windows Vista introduces a complete overhaul of the Windows operating system loader architecture. The earliest known reference to this revised architecture is included within PowerPoint slides distributed by Microsoft during the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference of 2004, when the operating system was codenamed as "Longhorn". This documentation mentions that the Windows operating system loader would be undergoing a significant restructuring in order to support EFI and to "do some major overhaul of legacy code". The new boot architecture completely replaces the NTLDR architecture used in previous versions of Windows NT.
Most of the steps that follow the NT kernel being loaded, including kernel initialization and user-space initialization, are kept the same as in earlier NT systems. Refactoring in Winlogon resulted in GINA being completely replaced by Credential Providers and graphical components in Windows Vista and later.
## BIOS/UEFI
On systems with a BIOS, the BIOS invokes MBR boot code from a hard disk drive at startup. The MBR boot code and the VBR boot code are OS-specific. In Microsoft Windows, the MBR boot code tries to find an active partition (the MBR is only 512 bytes), then executes the VBR boot code of an active partition. The VBR boot code tries to find and execute NTLDR for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and earlier, or the Windows Boot Manager for Windows Vista and later, from an active partition.
On systems with a UEFI, the UEFI invokes `bootmgfw.efi` from an EFI system partition at startup, starting the Windows Boot Manager.
## Boot loader phase
The Windows NT startup process starts when the computer finds a *Windows boot loader*, a portion of the Windows operating system responsible for finding Microsoft Windows and starting it up. Prior to Windows Vista, the boot loader was NTLDR. Microsoft has also released operating systems for Intel Itanium processors which use IA-64 architecture. The boot loader of these editions of Windows is IA64ldr.efi (later referred as simply IA64ldr). It is an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) program. Windows Vista and later use the Windows Boot Manager (`bootmgr`).
### Operating system selection
The boot loader, once executed, searches for Windows operating systems. Windows Boot Manager does so by reading Boot Configuration Data (BCD), a complex firmware-independent database for boot-time configuration data. Its predecessor, `NTLDR`, does so by reading the simpler `boot.ini`. If the boot.ini file is missing, the boot loader will attempt to locate information from the standard installation directory. For Windows NT and 2000 machines, it will attempt to boot from `C:\WINNT`. For machines running Windows XP, 2003, and later, it will boot from `C:\WINDOWS`.
Both databases may contain a list of installed Microsoft operating systems that may be loaded from the local hard disk drive or a remote computer on the local network. NTLDR supports operating systems installed on disks whose file system is NTFS or FAT file systems, CDFS (ISO 9660) or UDFS. Windows Boot Manager also supports operating systems installed inside a VHD file, stored on an NTFS disk drive.
In Windows 2000 or in later versions of Windows in which hibernation is supported, the Windows boot loader starts the search for operating systems by searching for *hiberfil.sys*. NTLDR looks into the root folder of the default volume specified in boot.ini. Windows Boot Manager looks up the location of hiberfil.sys in BCD. If this file is found and an active memory set is found in it, the boot loader loads the contents of the file (which is a compressed version of a physical memory dump of the machine) into memory and restores the computer to the state that it was in prior to hibernation by running winresume.exe.
Next, the boot loader looks for a list of installed operating system entries. If more than one operating system is installed, the boot loader shows a boot menu and allow the user to select an operating system. If a non NT-based operating system such as Windows 98 is selected (specified by an MS-DOS style of path, e.g. C:\\), then the boot loader loads the associated "boot sector" file listed in *boot.ini* or BCD (by default, this is *bootsect.dos* if no file name is specified) and passes execution control to it.
Otherwise, the boot process continues. For Windows Vista and after, this is done through a separate program, `winload.exe`.
### Loading the Windows NT kernel
The operating system starts when certain basic drivers flagged as "Boot" are loaded into memory. The appropriate file system driver for the partition type (NTFS, FAT, or FAT32) which the Windows installation resides in is amongst them. At this point in the boot process, the boot loader clears the screen and displays a textual progress bar (which is often not seen due to the initialization speed); Windows 2000 also displays the text "Starting Windows..." underneath.
If the user presses F8 during this phase, the advanced options menu is displayed, containing various special boot modes including Safe mode, with the Last Known Good Configuration, with debugging enabled, and (in the case of Server editions) Directory Services Restore Mode. Starting with Windows Vista, this menu was changed significantly. Once a boot mode has been selected (or if F8 was never pressed) booting continues.
Hardware information about the computer is gathered by NTDETECT.COM in Windows XP and earlier or by `winload.exe` in later versions. This information is stored in the `HKLM\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION` key in the Windows Registry.
Next the Windows NT kernel (*Ntoskrnl.exe*), the Hardware Abstraction Layer (*hal.dll*), kdcom.dll (Kernel Debugger HW Extension DLL), bootvid.dll (the Windows logo and side-scrolling bar), and config\system (one of the registry hives) are loaded.
For Windows XP and earlier, if multiple hardware configurations are defined in the Registry, the user is prompted at this point to choose one.
With the kernel in memory, boot-time device drivers are loaded (but not yet initialized). The required information (along with information on all detected hardware and Windows Services) is stored in the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM` portion of the registry, in a set of registry keys collectively called a *Control Set*. In Windows XP and earlier, multiple control sets are kept, in the event that the settings contained in the currently-used one prohibit the system from booting. `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM` contains control sets labeled `ControlSet001`, `ControlSet002`, etc. Windows uses `CurrentControlSet` to read and write information, but the key is merely a synthesized link to one of the sets defined by `HKLM\System\Select\Control`; it does not exist in the Hive file.
Windows now picks the "real" control set being used based on the values set in the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select` registry key:
* `Default` will be the boot loader's choice if nothing else overrides it.
* If the value of the `Failed` key matches `Default`, then the boot loader displays an error message, indicating that the last boot failed, and gives the user the option to try booting anyway, or to use the "Last Known Good Configuration".
* If the user chooses (or has chosen) Last Known Good Configuration, the control set indicated by the `LastKnownGood` key is used instead of `Default`.
When a control set is chosen, the `Current` key gets set accordingly. The `Failed` key is also set to the same as `Current` until the end of the boot process. `LastKnownGood` is also set to `Current` if the boot process completes successfully.
Which services are started and the order which each group is started in are provided by the following keys:
* `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services`
* `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceGroupOrder`
For the purposes of booting, a driver may be one of the following:
* A "Boot" driver that is loaded by the boot loader prior to starting the kernel. "Boot" drivers are almost exclusively drivers for hard-disk controllers and file systems (ATA, SCSI, file system filter manager, etc.); in other words, they are the absolute minimum that the kernel will need to get started with loading other drivers, and the rest of the operating system.
* A "System" driver which is loaded and started by the kernel after the boot drivers. "System" drivers cover a wider range of core functionality, including the display driver, CD-ROM support, and the TCP/IP stack.
* An "Automatic" driver which is loaded much later when the GUI already has been started.
With this finished, control is then passed from the boot loader to the kernel.
## Kernel phase
The initialization of the kernel subsystem and the Windows Executive subsystems is done in two phases.
During the first phase, basic internal memory structures are created, and each CPU's interrupt controller is initialized. The memory manager is initialized, creating areas for the file system cache, paged and nonpaged pools of memory. The Object Manager is initialized, and creates the initial security token for assignment to the first process on the system, and the Process Manager itself. The System idle process as well as the System process are created at this point.
The second phase involves initializing the device drivers which were identified by NTLDR as being system drivers.
Through the process of loading device drivers, a "progress bar" is visible at the bottom of the display on Windows 2000 systems; in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, this was replaced by an animated bar which does not represent actual progress. Prior to Windows XP, this part of the boot process took significantly longer; this is because the drivers would be initialized one at a time. On Windows XP and Server 2003, the drivers are all initialized asynchronously.
## Session manager
Once all the Boot and System drivers have been loaded, the kernel (system thread) starts the Session Manager Subsystem (`smss.exe`). The Session Manager stores its configuration at `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager`. The exact operation of most of these items is based on the configuration set in the registry.
The Session Manager creates the environment variables located at the registry entry `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment`. It also creates additional paging files with configuration data from `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management`.
The Session Manager Subsystem is then responsible starting the Win32 subsystem. It starts the kernel-mode side of the subsystem implemented by `win32k.sys`. Once this is done, Windows is able to switch into graphical mode as there is now enough infrastructure in place. The user-mode side of the subsystem, Client/Server Runtime Subsystem (`csrss.exe`), is also started. This makes the Win32 subsystem available to user-mode applications.
The Session Manager Subsystem is also responsible for doing any operations that are requested to be done at the start of a session. Commands listed in `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute`, such as `autochk` and `convert`, are executed. These commands are run before services are loaded by later steps of the booting process. Any rename operations queued at `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations`. This is used to allow previously in-use files (e.g. drivers) to be replaced as part of a reboot.
`autochk` mounts all drives and checks them one at a time to see whether or not they were cleanly unmounted. If autochk determines one or more volumes are dirty, it will automatically run chkdsk and provides the user with a short window to abort the repair process by pressing a key within 10 seconds (introduced in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4; earlier versions would not allow the user to abort chkdsk). Since Windows 2000, XP and 2003 show no text screen at that point (unlike NT 3.1 to 4.0, which displayed a blue text screen), the user will see a different background picture holding a mini-text-screen in the center of the screen and show the progress of chkdsk there.
Starting with Windows Vista, the Session Manager Subsystem creates a temporary instance of itself that launches the Windows Startup Application (`wininit.exe`) and a second Client/Server Runtime Subsystem (`csrss.exe`) for Session 0, a session decided to system processes. From here, the Windows Startup Application starts the Service Control Manager (`services.exe`), which starts all the Windows services that are set to "Auto-Start" and sets the `LastKnownGood` to the current control set. The application also starts the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (`lsass.exe`). Before Windows Vista, these processes were started by Windows Logon instead of the Windows Startup Application, which didn't exist. The dedicated session for system processes also didn't exist.
The Session Manager Subsystem now starts Winlogon (Windows Logon Application), which is responsible for handling interactive logons to a Windows system, either local or remote.
## Authentication
The authentication process is implemented by Winlogon. This program is responsible for responding to the secure attention sequence (SAS), loading the user profile on logon, and optionally locking the computer when a screensaver is running.
Winlogon checks if automatic logon is enabled, and if so, logs in to the specified account automatically. If there is not automatic logon enabled, Winlogon starts the process to allow the user to logon. Before Windows Vista this was done by GINA, but starting with Vista this is done by LogonUI. If configured, both of these programs display a prompt for the user to enter the Secure Attention Sequence (SAS) (Control-Alt-Delete). They then display the login dialog which prompts the user to enter their credentials. Once the user submits these credentials, they are passed to LSASS and any other additional network credential providers. This allows multiple network providers to authenticate the user at once during normal logon.
LSASS first tries to use cached data in the LSA database, the SECURITY hive of the registry. If there is none, LSASS determines which account protocol is to be used by using the security packages listed in the key `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa`. There are two standard packages, `msv1_0.dll`, which implements the NTLM protocols, and `Kerberos.dll`, which provides remote login by using Active Directory. `msv1_0.dll` is used in stand-alone systems and domain-member systems for backward compatibility. If the user is trying to log into the local host then `msv1_0.dll` uses the Security Account Manager database located at `HKLM/SAM`. If the user is trying to log into another host then the NetLogon service is used to carry the data with the following sequence:
```
msv1_0.dll <-> netlogon <-> remote netlogon <-> remote msv1_0.dll <-> remote SAM
```
After the user is authenticated, LSASS enforces the local security policy (checking user permissions, creating audit trails, doling out security tokens, etc.) and passes control pack to Winlogon. Winlogon creates and opens an interactive windows station, `WinSta0`, and creates three desktops, `Winlogon`, `Default` and `ScreenSaver`. Winlogon switches from the Winlogon desktop to the `Default` desktop when the shell indicates that it is ready to display something for the user, or after thirty seconds, whichever comes first. The system switches back to the `Winlogon` desktop if the user presses Control-Alt-Delete or when a User Account Control prompt is shown. Winlogon now starts the program specified in the Userinit value which defaults to `userinit.exe`. This value supports multiple executables.
## Shell
`Userinit` is the first program that runs with the user credentials. It is responsible to start all the other programs that compose the user shell environment.
The shell program (typically `Explorer.exe`) is started from the registry entry `Shell=` pointed to by the same registry entry in key `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\system.ini\Boot`; its default value is `SYS:Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon`, which evaluates to `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon`.
`Userinit` starts by loading the user profile. There are a few types of user profiles and it can be local or remote. This process can be very slow if the user profile is of the "roaming" type. User and Computer Group Policy settings are then applied and user scripts, machine scripts, and `proquota.exe` are run. Startup programs are started and then the shell configured in registry, which defaults to `explorer.exe`. Now `Userinit` exits and the shell program continues running without a parent process.
`Userinit` runs startup programs from the following locations:
* `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce`
* `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run`
* `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run`
* `HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Load`
* `HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Run`
* `HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run`
* `HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce`
* `%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\` (this path is localized on non-English versions of Windows before Vista)
* `%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\` (this path is localized on non-English versions of Windows before Vista)
## Advanced options
With the advent of the new boot manager in Windows Vista, many components have been changed; one is the Advanced Boot Options menu that provides options for advanced boot modes (e.g., Safe Mode). Due to the implementation of fast startup in Windows 8 and up, access to the Advanced Boot Options menu has been disabled by default. However, access is still possible with a BCD modification. These are the possible boot modes:
* Repair Your Computer - Boots Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE or Windows RE)
* Safe Mode - Loads Safe Mode, a boot mode with minimal drivers and resources intended for malware removal or replacing faulty drivers.
* Safe Mode with Networking - Loads Safe Mode along with the network drivers.
* Safe Mode with Command Prompt - Loads Safe Mode with the Command Prompt as the shell instead of Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer can still be loaded by typing `explorer` at the command prompt.
* Enable Boot Logging - Enables writing of `ntbtlog.txt`, a file that will log the boot process; listing drivers that loaded and drivers that did not.
* Enable low resolution video - Disables the default graphics driver and uses the standard VGA driver. Intended in case the user changed the resolution to an unusable level (i.e. 320×200 at low refresh rates \<24 Hz, 60 Hz\>)
* Last Known Good Configuration - Loads configuration based on the last successful boot process. Intended for Registry corruptions. This mode is removed in Windows 8 and later versions of Windows.
* Directory Services Restore Mode \- Boot mode used to reboot the Domain Controller in case it is not working as intended.
* Debugging Mode - Boots while loading the kernel debugger.
* Disable automatic restart on system failure - Disables the auto-reboot function after a Blue Screen of Death is experienced.
* Disable early launch anti-malware driver - ELAM prechecks boot required drivers for signatures and tampering. Disabling ELAM is intended to allow booting on false positive driver checks but could also allow a tampered driver to load.
* Disable Driver Signature Enforcement - Disables the kernel setting that prohibits unsigned drivers from loading.
* Start Windows Normally
The ABO menu is accessible by rapidly pressing or holding the `F8` key before Windows boots. Starting from Windows 8 on UEFI, it can only be accessed by clicking `Restart` while holding the `Shift` key.
## Remote booting and installation
To successfully boot, the client must support PXE booting and the Windows Deployment Services (WDS) component must be installed on the server. It is not installed by default. WDS is the successor of Remote Installation Services (RIS).
The PXE program is found on the BIOS or on a ROM chip on the network card.
PXE booting is not a technology specific to Windows and can also be used to start a Linux system. In fact, a Linux system can act as a server to service DHCP or TFTP.
PXE can be used to start Windows Setup to install the system on the client computer or to run the operating system from RAM. The latter, called Remote Boot, was introduced by Windows XP Embedded SP1 and is only available for this flavor of Windows.
The general process for both methods is as follows:
* PXE boots
* DHCP request broadcast
* Optionally DHCP router redirects to the server
* The server sends the Network Bootstrap Program (NBP) (`PXEboot.com`) through TFTP
* The NBP program downloads the required files through the BINL protocol
The Boot Information Negotiation Layer (BINL) is a Windows 2000 service running on the server that communicates with the client after the NBP was already loaded by the PXE.

Commonwealth Coast football
|
Commonwealth Coast Football was a single-sport athletic conference that competed in football in the NCAA's Division III. It began play as CCC Football in 2017 after the New England Football Conference (NEFC) was renamed following the 2016 season. CCC Football was administered by the Commonwealth Coast Conference. The conference competed under the NEFC banner from 1965 through the 2016 season. Member teams are located in New England. Before an NEFC conference split that took effect with the 2013 season, the NEFC was divided into the Boyd Division and the Bogan Division, with the division champions competing in Division III football's only season-ending conference championship game. After the 2012 season, the NEFC split, with the seven Massachusetts state institutions and Plymouth State playing in the MASCAC for football. The conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III playoffs continued to be held by the eight remaining members: Curry, Endicott, Maine Maritime, MIT, Nichols, Salve Regina, Coast Guard, and Western New England. In the 12 seasons the NEFC hosted a championship game between its two division winners, these remaining eight members accounted for 16 of the 24 championship game participants and 8 of 12 conference champions. The decision to rename the NEFC was made in October 2015, as the Commonwealth Coast Conference announced that it would add football by effectively absorbing the NEFC as a single-sport conference known as Commonwealth Coast Football, starting with the 2017–18 school year. Accordingly, the 2016 season was the last for the NEFC under its long-standing name and acronym. The CCC and Commonwealth Coast Football unveiled a new family of logos during a June 2019 visual rebrand. Due to changes in NCAA Division III legislation regarding the number of members required for a conference to receive an automatic qualifier (AQ), football was incorporated into the multi-sport Commonwealth Coast Conference in 2022, eliminating the need for the football-only league.

Eidhean mac Cléireach, ancestor of the Ó hEidhin/Hynes family of County Galway, fl. 800. Eidhean was a member of the dynasty of Uí Fiachrach Aidhne, and a descendant of Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin, Fiachrae mac Eochaid Mugmedon and thus distantly related to the dynasty of Uí Néill. His descendants ruled Aidhne for a time, most notably in the 1090s when Flaithbertaigh Ua Flaithbertaigh seized the kingship of Connacht and installed an Ó hEidhin as a puppet-king for a time. Eidhean was a kinsman of a number of other men whose descendants also took their surnames from them, such as Comhaltan mac Maol Cúlaird – Ó Comhaltan, Colton, Coulton
Cathal mac Ógán – Ó Cathail, Cahill
Giolla Ceallaigh mac Comhaltan – MacGiolla Ceallaigh, Kilkelly and, of course Cleireach himself Though in many cases the relationship between these men was quite distant, Eidhean would have been a contemporary or near-contemporary of almost all of them. He was killed in battle against Neide mac Onchu, about the year 800.

Achiasmate Meiosis
|
Achiasmate Meiosis refers to meiosis without chiasmata, which are structures that are necessary for recombination to occur and that usually aid in the segregation of non-sister homologs. The pachytene stage of prophase I typically results in the formation of chiasmata between homologous non-sister chromatids in the tetrad chromosomes that form. The formation of a chiasma is also referred to as crossing over. When two homologous chromatids cross over, they form a chiasma at the point of their intersection. However, it has been found that there are cases where one or more pairs of homologous chromosomes do not form chiasmata during pachynema. Without a chiasma, no recombination between homologs can occur. The traditional line of thinking was that without at least one chiasma between homologs, they could not be properly segregated during metaphase because there would be no tension between the homologs for the microtubules to pull against. This tension between the homologs is typically what allows the chromosomes to align along an axis of the cell and to then properly segregate to opposite sides of the cell. Despite this, achiasmate homologs are still found to line up with the chiasmate chromosomes at the metaphase plate.

Despite this, achiasmate homologs are still found to line up with the chiasmate chromosomes at the metaphase plate.
## Chromosomal segregation strategies
Chiasmata play a crucial role in correctly segregating the chromosomes during meiosis I to maintain correct ploidy; when chiasmata fail to form, it typically results in aneuploidy and nonviable gametes. However, some species have been found to employ alternative methods to segregate chromosomes. They all involve linking the homologs together with some structure. These structures provide the same needed tension that chiasmata usually provide.
### Synaptonemal complex and centromere interaction
One segregation strategy is to create a centromere-centromere interaction between achiasmate homologous chromosomes. Residual proteins from the synaptonemal complex (SC) ‘stick’ between the homologs' centromeres after diplotene, when the SC typically dissociates, allowing the homologs to achieve biorientation and attach correctly to the microtubules during anaphase I. This has been observed in budding yeast, *Drosophila melanogaster*, and mouse spermatocytes.
### Heterochromatin
Heterochromatin is a tightly grouped type of DNA. Threads of heterochromatin have been observed in *Drosophila melanogaster*, connecting achiasmate homologs and allowing them to move pull back and forth by spindles as a connected duo.
## Known achiasmatic species
### *Saccharomycodes ludwigii*
While multiple species of budding yeast have been found to have residual SC proteins that connect the centromeres together when needed, nearly all of said species are chiasmatic and have been simply used as convenient model organisms. However, *Saccharomycodes ludwigii* also displays centromere-centromere interactions with SC proteins and is also almost entirely achiasmatic. It employs the breeding strategy of automixis (commonly used by many budding yeasts) in addition with a nearly complete lack of genetic mixing via crossovers to gain the genetic/evolutionary advantages of cloning (asexual reproduction) while maintaining the heterozygosity typically afforded by sexual reproduction. *S. ludwigii* also creates strong connections between the tetrads produced by meiosis to promote the breeding (automixis) within the tetrad. This breeding strategy may have evolved “through mutual selection between suppression of meiotic recombination and frequent intratetrad mating", which would have helped the trait spread to fixation.
### *Drosophila melanogaster*
In *Drosophila melanogaster*, both oocytes and spermatocytes display achiasmy. In oocytes, neither the 4th nor the sex-determining chromosomes form chiasmata; in spermatocytes, no chiasmata form on any of the chromosomes. Heterochromatin threads have been observed in *D. melanogaster* oocytes. Unusually, *D. melanogaster* lack SCs all together, so SC proteins likely do not play a role in this species' segregation strategy.
### Amazon Molly
Amazon Mollies (*Poecilia formosa*) reproduce without recombination via gynogenesis. They mate with males of other species and the sperm triggers the development of their eggs, but the Amazon Mollies create diploid eggs that have copies of only their own genes. There is no crossing over during their meiosis, indicating that they have achiasmate meiosis. It is theorized that this failure during the meiotic cycle is what creates the diploid eggs and that likely sister chromatids are separated during meiosis instead of the homologs in this species. If sister chromatids are being separated instead of homologs, than proper segregation of homologs has failed in this species.
### Insects
True bugs (order Heteroptera) are partially of achiasmate species and partially of chiasmate species in reference to spermatogenesis. The infraorder Cimicomorpha, specifically its families Anthocoridae, Microphysidae, Cimicidae, Miridae, and Nabidae are achiasmate. Additionally, achiasmy has been reported in the infraorder Leptopodomorpha and in the family Micronectidae on the infraorder Nepomorpha. A deeper understanding of how meiosis proceeds in these achiasmate species is still under investigation.
## Evolution
It is thought that achiasmatic meiosis is polyphyletic, as there is no distinct pattern to its occurrence, nor to the methods through which it occurs. It appears to instead be multiple instances of secondary loss of meiotic recombination that resulted in either the evolution of new segregation processes, or a shift to an existing backup system for segregation. Current evidence suggests the latter, that there are existing mechanisms to segregate homologs without chiasmata, as these mechanisms (heterochromatin and centromere-centromere interaction) have been observed in chiasmate species.

# Sthenopus scutellatus
***Stenopus scutellatus***, commonly known as the **gold coral banded shrimp** or **golden coral shrimp**, is a boxer shrimp, a shrimp-like decapod crustacean belonging to the family Stenopodidae. It is found in suitable habitats in the western Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea.
## Description
*Stenopus spinosus* can grow up to 4 centimetres (1.6 in) long, and has a yellow spiny carapace and abdomen and long white antennae. The third pair of pereiopods (walking legs) are spiny and bear long claws and are much larger than the other pairs. They are boldly barred in red and white while the other legs are yellow. The tip of the abdomen, uropods and telson are also marked with orangeish-red and white.
## Distribution
*Stenopus scutellatus* is commonly found in shallow waters in the western Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda, the West Indies, the Gulf of Mexico and southwards to northern Brazil at depths between 10 and 113 metres (33 and 371 ft). They are found on coral reefs, in caves and among lumps of coral but are also found on rocks near turtle grass (*Thalassia testudinum*) meadows and on detritus on the seabed.
## Behaviour
These shrimps are usually found in pairs, one of each sex, and have elaborate mating behaviours. They lurk in crevices with their long antennae visible and waving to advertise their presence. They offer cleaning services to fish which will approach and adopt special attitudes while parasites, such as isopods, and pieces of dead skin are removed and eaten by the shrimp. They are rather more shy than the banded cleaner shrimp (*Stenopus hispidus*) and approach the fishes that attend the cleaning station more cautiously. They sometimes just remain inside their niches picking at the side of the visiting fish immediately outside.

### Opening
The start was discussed in an opening for the whole country culture but Joelma've chosen to only to the capitals where they were printed.
For each city we used the theme of culture, first to Belém culture with Carimbó, then a soldier representing Brasilia with a musical background of the start of the national anthem, then immediately one dancer Frevo representing Recife an instrumental sound *Tchau Pra Você* but executed in the rhythm of Frevo, after that a player of Capoeira representing Salvador and to end a flag bearer representing the Rio de Janeiro with the instrumental sound of *Isso é Calypso* in rhythm Samba.

## Ride experience
Diving Machine G5 starts right out of the station and engages the lift chain which slowly takes them up the 45-degree angle lift hill to a dizzying height. The train then makes a turn to the right and brakes violently. Riders then hear a small click and slow down as they engage the holding brake and stop right on the edge. After the car completely stops, three seconds pass before the car is released down the 87.5 degree drop and under a bridge into the tunnel, where riders experience a blast of air and 5 g-forces. After exiting the tunnel, riders traverse a massive overbanked turn to the right, drop slightly, then are treated to a burst of airtime as they dip and rise into the final brake run, just as the camera flash goes off. The ride's layout is a nearly mirror image of Oblivion at Alton Towers.

Risegate
|
Gosberton Risegate is a village and hamlet in the civil parish of Gosberton and the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It is 30 miles (50 km) south-east from the city and county town of Lincoln, 5 miles (8 km) north from the nearest large town of Spalding, and 2 miles (3 km) west-southwest from parish village of Gosberton. Gosberton Risegate and the village of Gosberton Clough to the west are conjoined as a 2 miles (3 km) linear settlement on the east to west B1397 road which runs along the south side of Risegate Eau (drain). Within Gosberton Risegate the B1497 is named 'Risegate Road', and in Gosberton Clough, 'Clough Road', the villages separated at a bridge over the Risegate Eau at the junction with Chesboule Lane, running north, and Beach Lane, running south. The B1397 and the village is mirrored at the north of Risegate Eau by the parallel 'Siltside' (road). The Risegate Eau starts 3 miles (5 km) west at the South Forty-Foot Drain, then flows through the village, and reaches the River Welland at the Risegate Outfall sluice in Algarkirk Marsh, 5.5 miles (9 km) to the east. Amenities, facilities and businesses include, on Risegate Road, a truck sales & service centre, a portable toilet company, a haulage company depot, a memorial masonry contractor, a wrought ironwork company, The Duke of York public house, and a farm at Cressy Hall at the west of the village. The site of the former Gosberton railway station, opened in 1882 and closed in 1961, today used for light industry and storage, is 180 yards (200 m) inside the village from the west, where a level crossing intersects the National Rail Peterborough–Lincoln line operated by East Midlands Railway, the line previously part of the GN and GE Joint Railway. On Hedgefield Hurn (road), which runs south-east from Risegate Road, is a farm, a window supplier and a plant nursery. On Siltside is a funeral directors, and The Five Bells and The Black Horse public houses. Adjacent to The Black horse is The Marjoram Hall community centre. The nearest school is Clough & Risegate Community Primary school in Gosberton Clough. Risegate is connected by bus to Gosberton, Quadring and Spalding. In 1872 Risegate was described as a hamlet of Gosberton, and partly in the parish of Surfleet. It contained Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist chapels. There was a free school, founded 1681 by Robert Marjoram, who endowed it with just over 13 acres (0.05 km2) of land, rented out for £46 yearly, this to pay for a schoolmaster to teach poor children of "Rysgate and about the Fen Ends in the parishes of Gosberton and Surfleet". By 1872 the school had fallen down but another was about to be rebuilt. Occupations listed at the time included sixteen farmers and a market gardener, a miller, a blacksmith, a wheelwright, a harness maker, two shopkeepers, one of whom was also a draper, and the other a flour dealer. There were public house licensed victuallers of the 'Duke of York', the 'Old Crane', 'The Ship' and the 'Five Bells'. The landlord of the 'Five Bells' was also a potato dealer, and that of 'The ship' was also a shopkeeper and a baker.

In the west of the village, to the north of the B1397, is the Grade II\* listed Cressy Hall, a three-storey brick house in Flemish bond Originally a moated medieval manor house, it had been rebuilt in 1695 by Sir Henry Heron, father to Henry Heron (MP), but burnt down. The present house dates to 1794. On Risegate road, 500 yards (460 m) southwest from Cressy Hall, is the Grade II red brick four-stage tower of the 19th-century Risegate tower corn mill, originally of four sails. Also on Risegate road, to the east from the junction with Beach Lane, is a Grade II 18th-century single-storey cottage of red brick. To the south from Risegate Road, on Hedgefield Hurn, is Panton House, of L-plan with two-storeys, three-bays with slate tile roof and sash windows, and which dates to about 1830.

The L-plan house, of two storeys and three bays with sash windows, is of red brick laid in Flemish bond, and with a slate roof. The gate and fence railings are of cast iron, either end of which are brick piers supporting finials representing acorns. The house, which was altered in about 1840, dates to about 1800.
On Siltside is an unlisted 12 feet (4 m) high war memorial of celtic cross style and of Scottish marble, dedicated to the dead of the First and Second World Wars. It stands at the east of Siltside where it turns into Windmill Lane which runs to Westhorpe further north. To the west of the war memorial is a Grade II two-storey, three-bay house of red brick laid in Flemish bond, dating to 1804, and a Methodist Church, previously a United Free Methodist Church built in 1886. At the east of the village, and 500 yards north on Chesboule Lane, is the Grade II Chesspool House with attached cottage, dating to the 18th century, with early and late 19th-century additions.

Multiple cutaneous leiomyoma
|
Multiple cutaneous leiomyomas, also known as pilar leiomyomas, arise from the arrectores pilorum muscles, and are made up of a poorly circumscribed proliferation of haphazardly arranged smooth muscle fibers located in the dermis that appear to infiltrate the surrounding tissue and may extend into the subcutis. Sometimes associated with uterine leiomyomas, these lesions may also be a manifestation of the hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer syndrome.
