The Chalkeaters is an English-language musical group from Saint Petersburg, Russia that composes comedy songs about video games.
Musicians Alios, Ergy, and Tim Maslov founded the project in 2018. Later, Pondis, an artist, and Lenich, a video designer, joined the permanent lineup of the band. The music team became known online after releasing viral music video "Doom Crossing: Eternal Horizons" in 2020, which, as of January 2023, received over 50 million views on YouTube.
The Chalkeaters write songs of various genres and produce their own original animated videos mocking well-known game series, characters, and faces of the game industry. The band describes their work as "overproduced shitpost," meaning they try to make goofy songs about Internet memes to the best possible quality. The Chalkeaters invite famous vocalists to their projects: Ellen McLain and Johnny Gioeli, as well as YouTube musicians Black Gryph0n and The Stupendium, have sung their songs.
History
The band was formed by St. Petersburg musicians who had previously played together in the rock band BroniKoni. In 2018, after the release of albums Friendship Express and EP Bingo, the leader and songwriter Alios (Alexander Serebro) invited the guitarist Ergy (Sergey Gumba) and the sound engineer Tim Maslov to create a YouTube side-project with songs about video games. They decided to invite foreign singers for vocals, so that English-language lyrics would sound more authentic.
The first song released was the pop-punk composition "Bowsette", dedicated to a popular meme about the female version of Bowsette from the Super Mario Bros games. In the track, Bowsette repeatedly kidnaps Princess Peach in order to win Mario's heart. Maria Gorbunova, nick-named M-G UniNew, performed vocal part as Bowsette, while the role of Mario was played by rapper Nekro G.
"It Just Works" music video was released in June 2019 and mocked the many problems of Bethesda Game Studios and their games, as well as the unfulfilled promises of its head Todd Howard. Howard appears in the video as the villain of the musical video: despite bugs and flaws, his games will continue to be bought, because "it just works." The role of Todd was played by Kyle Wright, and the jazz arrangement was recorded live by St. Petersburg brass musicians. Video blogger The Quartering An inserted an excerpt from the video into his video, which led to the first noticeable increase in views and subscribers to the project.
The next music video for the song "Breathtaking" was released in November 2019. The clip referenced Keanu Reeves' performance at the 2019 E3 video game show, where the actor responded to a shout-out from the audience calling him awesome by saying that the awesome were fans, which spawned numerous memes about love for Keanu and his kindness. It is described as a message of love for the actor. The video contains humorous references to Keanu's roles and game industry events.
In April 2020, the music video "Doom Crossing: Eternal Horizons" was released and became a major hit for the band. As of January 2023, it has over 50 million views on YouTube. The song is dedicated to the meme of Doomguy and Isabelle's friendship, which stemmed from the fact that the ultra-violent shooter Doom Eternal and the super-cute game Animal Crossing: New Horizon were released on the same day, on March 20, 2020. In the story, Isabelle is walking about a peaceful, quiet island, but Doomguy suddenly enters that world. He finds common ground with the heroine, teaches her how to shoot and calls her into his world to fight demons. In the music video, the action shifts abruptly between innocent fun on the island and nightmarish battles in the hell. The visual style and music genres change accordingly. The American singer Natalia Natchan, known as PiNKII, voices Isabelle, and Jonathan Luhmann appears as the "Brutal Voice of DOOM."
In May 2020, the group released a pop song, "Lock Me Up (Quarantine Song)". In the song, the singer Idrise, acting as a joyful gamer, is excited to get through all his favorite games while staying home because of the quarantine caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
In 2021, "Count to Three" music video was released, depicting Valve Studio and its CEO Gabe Newell. The clip mocks the studio for not releasing the third parts of their popular series and their lack of major new single-player projects, with the developers having very high royalties. The video features Ellen McLain in a cameo appearance, as the voice actress for GLaDOS, the robotic antagonist of the Portal games. The actress praised the group's past work and was happy to return to a role in a fan project. The intro for the video was recorded by Gabe Newell himself, he also gave permission to use the images of the games' characters and for McLain to play the role of GLaDOS. Because of the involvement of the studio officials, some viewers of the video thought the video was a hint at the imminent announcement of Half-Life 3. In the song itself, British blogger and musician The Stupendium sang as Gabe. The video has surpassed 13 million views.
In November 2021, The Chalkeaters along with other artists, participated in creating a video that showcased the evolution of games for a show celebrating 50 years of video games at the 39th Golden Joystick Awards 2021. The musicians performed a segment about the Doom and Animal Crossing.
"Crushing Thirties" music video was released in January 2022 and it commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog game series. The clip ironized the topic of growing up, showing how the thirtysomething Sonic sinks into the midlife crisis. Dr. Eggman retired and was no longer a villain, resulting in Sonic loitering at home while the bills piled up — something his wife Amy Rose rebuked him for. In the video, you could also spot Knuckles, Tails, and Cream, who had similarly grown up and become bogged down in routine. The style of the song referenced the hard rock band Crush 40, famous for their vocal themes in the Sonic Adventure series of games, and that band's lead vocalist Johnny Gioeli performed the vocal part.
In April 2022, Alios, head of The Chalkeaters, criticized Russia's invasion of Ukraine and announced that the band was leaving the country. Two months later, the Chalkeaters announced that some of the band members had moved to Georgia, Israel, and the United Kingdom.
In June 2022, "Rise Guys", a dramatic ballad about the characters in the game Fall Guys, was released. The vocalist was British singer Dennis DeMille.
In September 2022, the animated music video "A Songus Amongus" was released, in which The Chalkeaters first introduced their mascot, Professor Chalk. According to the plot of the clip, Chalke falls into paranoia and starts seeing silhouettes of the characters of the Among Us game everywhere, from chicken nuggets to the writing characters of the Sinhalese language, one of the official languages of Sri Lanka. The video mocks the meme that everything around us looks like Among Us characters, as well as the obsession of fans with the game. For example, it mocks the fact that a McDonald's chicken nugget shaped like an Among Us character was sold on eBay for nearly $100,000. American singer and blogger Gabriel Brown performed the Professor's vocal part. The singer is better known on YouTube as Black Gryph0n. The clip was praised by Marcus Bromander, founder of InnerSloth, the developer of Among Us.
In November 2022, the band released the song "Furrýmon: Gotta Smash 'Em All!". In the animated video, Professor Chalk wanted to become a Pokémon trainer, but discovered they were sexualized Furries. Black Gryph0n returned to the role of the Professor, and the role of the Vaporeon rapper was played by PiNKII, who had previously played the role of Isabelle in "Doom Crossing".

Criticism and reviews
In an article about the release of the "Breathtaking" music video, Nerdist's Kelly Knox wrote that the song depicted the video game industry as gray and cynical, and only highlighted by the participation of Keanu Reeves. The journalist praised Natalia Natchan's vocals and called the animation ethereal. She noted that although in some places it is noticeable that it had not been a native speaker that had written the lyrics, this only added to the charm and authenticity of the emotion behind this song.
In a review of the "A Songus Amongus" music video, a journalist from PCGamer called the video really cute, and compared Harry Partridge's Skyrim songs from the long-passed 2011, calling them just cheeky, sincere, and fun. Journals appreciated the change of genres in "A Songus Amongus", where the pop music was replaced by a funky dance part, and some metal was also added.
The author praised the band in his article about "Doom Crossing" posted on TheGamer, calling the union of ukulele-based pop music with power metal impressive and the video itself brilliant.
The website of RBKgames mentioned the "It Just Works" music video in their list of top memes of 2019.
The Gamer website's review of the song "Count To Three" called the performance great, and the author was initially confused and thought Gabe Newell was singing the entire song.
Ellen McLain admitted that she was flattered to be asked to reprise her role as GLaDOS in "Count To Three". The actress called the song a wonderful composition that was very well written and clever. In addition, she praised the other performers, especially the voices of Alyx and Newell.
YouTuber PewDiePie filmed a video reaction to "Doom Crossing", calling the song "really, really catchy".

The Division of Diamond Valley was an
Australian Electoral Division in Victoria.
The division was created in 1969 and abolished in 1984. It was named for the Diamond Creek area. It was located in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, including Doncaster, Watsonia, Eltham and Templestowe. With the expansion of the Parliament in 1984, the Division was effectively split in two, the western half forming the new Division of Jagajaga, and the eastern half the Division of Menzies.
Always held by the government of the day, the seat was marginal between the Australian Labor Party and the Liberal Party. This is reflected by the state of its successor seats. Menzies has always been a safe Liberal seat, while Jagajaga has been a fairly safe to safe Labor seat.

Silver Spines is a solo album by Rob Mazurek that was released on the Delmark label in 2002.
Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states: "Working closely with engineer Casey Rice, Mazurek offers 18 compositions of elaborately layered melody, edgeless dissonance, found and electronic sound, manipulated in the studio and reshaped into small but gorgeous small universes of texture, lyricism, impression, and ghostly presences. ... In all, it's as experimental a record as there is, but it is hardly inaccessible. In fact, in most places, it is not only quite lovely to listen to, but full of humor as well. ... Silver Spines is nothing short of excellent".
On All About Jazz Mark F. Turner said: "As an improviser the overall concept works within the framework of the artist's vision, but the big picture may be elusive to listeners. Many of the selections would make great samples themselves for material that could be used in other film or sound recordings. The result, however, is a sound collage whose sum is no greater than its individual parts".

Tear Down These Walls is the seventh studio album by British recording artist Billy Ocean, released in February 1988 by Jive Records and Arista Records as the follow-up to Ocean's critically and commercially successful 1986 album Love Zone.
Background
The album's title is a reference to then-President Ronald Reagan's "tear down this wall!" speech. It features guest backing vocals from artists including the Manhattans, Will Downing, Carroll Thompson, and Mary Cassidy, and is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of Ocean's later work.
One of Ocean's most commercially successful studio albums, it went on to peak at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart and reached number 18 on the US Billboard 200. The album launched four charting singles in the UK: "Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart; "Calypso Crazy" peaked at 35; "The Colour of Love" at 65 and "Stand and Deliver" at 97.
"Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" was Ocean's third and final number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and his fourth and final number-one R&B hit in that country. The song topped pop charts in several other countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Norway. "The Colour of Love" was a top 20 pop hit in the US and Canada, and Ocean's tenth and final top-10 hit on the US R&B chart.
Tear Down These Walls was released in 39 versions, including a unique Mini CD version (three 3" CDs) for the UK.
The album was re-released on 16 June 2014 on Cherry Pop featuring rare bonus content. The reissue is a 2-CD set with the original album digitally remastered from the original 1/2" mix tapes; the bonus content consists of associated 7", and 12" mixes.
Critical reception
On release, the album received generally favourable reviews by music critics. In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Ron Wynn gave the album three out of five stars and wrote that "While he was still a successful attraction, this album wouldn't reach the multi-platinum levels of its predecessors." also noting that "Ocean's voice also lacked the resonance and authority it had on earlier dance tunes and wasn't as convincing or confident on ballads."

The London Oratory ("the Congregation of the Oratory of St Philip Neri in London") is a Catholic community of priests living under the rule of life established by its founder, Philip Neri (1515-1595). It is housed in an Oratory House, next to the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Brompton Oratory) in the Brompton Road, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, SW7.
There are four other Oratories in the UK, the Birmingham Oratory, the Manchester Oratory, the Oxford Oratory and the York Oratory.
Origins
The London Oratory was founded in 1849, the year after John Henry Cardinal Newman established the Birmingham Oratory, when Newman sent Frederick Faber and some companions, including Thomas Francis Knox, to start an Oratory in London. The original premises (a former whisky store) were in King William Street (now William IV Street), near Charing Cross. In 1854 the community moved to its present Brompton Road site, adjacent to the Victoria and Albert Museum. The site had previously been owned by Robert Pollard, who had set up a boys’ boarding school there, known as Blemell House. Newman was not initially enthusiastic with a location he considered in, what was then, the suburbs.
An attempt early in 1853 by the Vicar of Holy Trinity, Brompton, to prevent the establishment of a Catholic community so close to his church was unsuccessful. An Oratory House was built in 1854, followed by a large temporary church. The house contained the congregations' chapel, known as "the Little Oratory", decorated in 1871 by John Hungerford Pollen, who, at that time, was connected with the nearby South Kensington Museum.
The church was replaced in 1884 by the present neo-baroque building, designed by Herbert Gribble. Until the opening of Westminster Cathedral in 1903, the London Oratory was the venue for all great Catholic occasions in London, including the funeral of Cardinal Manning in 1892.
Together with their Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the community of the Oratorian Fathers is often popularly, though less accurately, referred to as the 'Brompton Oratory'.
The Oratory parish is part of the Roman Catholic metropolitan diocese of Westminster, at whose request the Oratory parish is run by the Fathers of the Oratory. It is part of the Kensington and Chelsea Deanery.
Oratorian Fathers
The Oratorian Fathers are a congregation of secular priests living a community life together, bound together not by vows, but by the internal bond of charity and by the external bonds of a common life and rule, dominated by prayer and ministry to their city. There are several masses offered each day and private masses are available by arrangement, as are weddings and funerals. Confessions are also heard daily and priests are always available for counsel and advice. The London Oratory, which is currently served by three choirs, is famous in particular for the solemn celebration of the Roman liturgy, especially in Latin, and for its preservation of the traditional place of music in the liturgy.
List of provosts
The Oratorian Fathers elect a provost from amongst their number to serve as superior for three-year terms. The following have served as Provost of the London Oratory:
1969–1981: Fr Michael Scott Napier
1991–1994: Fr Michael Scott Napier
????–2012: Fr Ignatius Harrison
2012–present: Fr Julian Large
Popular culture
The singer/songwriter Nick Cave wrote a lovesong called "Brompton Oratory", set outside and inside the London Oratory, which is included in the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' album The Boatman's Call.

Vengeance is a 1984 book by George Jonas describing part of Mossad assassinations following the Munich massacre. It was re-released as Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team or Vengeance: Sword of Gideon in some later editions and countries.
The main source of the book is also the main character, Yuval Aviv, known in the book as Avner. A Mossad officer, he is recruited to lead a small team into Europe to assassinate a number of suspected PLO and Black September militants. Each of the book's chapters deals with a separate stage of the mission, including the background to each assassination. It has inspired both a 1986 made for television movie called Sword of Gideon and the 2005 Steven Spielberg film Munich.

The Capture of Olovo (1 November — 17 December 1941) was a battle fought between allied forces of Chetnik Detachments of the Yugoslav Army (Chetniks) and Yugoslav Partisans against Axis forces of the Independent State of Croatia garrisoned in Olovo in the first year of World War II in Yugoslavia.
Background
On 21 September 1941 Chetniks attacked militia guards who protected a wooden bridge on the railway between Olovo and Kladanj. They killed one and imprisoned 9 militiamen, without damaging the bridge. On 29 September Chetniks burned wooden bridge between Olovo and Zavidovići.
On 28 October parts of Partisan Romanija Detachment in cooperation with Chetniks captured village Knežina after three days of fighting. Croatian Home Guard and Muslim militiamen fled Knežina and retreated to Olovo.
On 14 November 1941 Captain Sreharski Janko was appointed as commander of Olovo garrison. The 4th company of Sarajevo Reserve Battalion was commanded by Lieutenant Ante Marinković.
Forces
Four Chetnik companies with 400 Chetniks and parts of Partisan Romanija Detachment (Knežina, Bjelogoračka and Crepoljska companies) and Zvijezda Detachment (Nišić battalion and Crnovrška and Vlahinjska company) with total of 800 Partisans organized an unsuccessful attack on Olovo on 1 November 1941.
The Axis forces in Olovo belonged to the III Domobran Corps commanded by Mihajlo Lukić. In mid-December 1941 the garrison in Olovo consisted of 2 companies of Croatian Home Guard, 180 militiamen, 40 gendarmes and a battery of mountain guns. The North-East positions around Olovo were defended by the 4th company of Sarajevo Reserve Battalion (166 members of Croatian Home Guards) enforced by 1 machine-gun. The South-East positions were held by the 17th company of the 6th Infantry Regiment (70 members of Croatian Home Guards, without one platoon). The West positions were defended by militia consisting of 130 and 40 militiamen. A battery of two mountain-guns operated from positions west of railway station in Olovo. One platoon of the 17th company of 6th Infantry Regiment was kept as reserve while flanks were protected by 50 militiamen in village Ponijerka.
Offensive
Artillery preparation
According to some contemporary Croatian reports, in period 1–24 November 1941 about 240 Chetniks were killed during their attacks on Axis controlled Olovo. On 17 November in 7 a.m. insurgents attacked Olovo garrison. The attack started by Chetnik artillery which destroyed militia guard post killing and wounding 24 militiamen, while remaining 6 of them fled. The Chetnik artillery was then aimed against the most important position of Olovo garrison, so called "Stijena" which was defended by the 4th company of Sarajevo Reserve Battalion supported by one machine gun. The position of machine gun was quickly destroyed by Chetnik artillery. Another machine gun was sent as a replacement, but it was also quickly destroyed by Chetnik artillery.
Infantry assault and capture of Olovo
Around 10 a.m. the insurgents stopped their artillery fire and replaced it with barrages of rifle fire of the infantry insurgent units. The commander of the 4th company of Sarajevo Reserve Battalion, Ante Marinković was wounded during this attack and his company had to retreat from "Stijena" in 12:30. After being inforced by one reserve platoon this company managed to recapture "Stijena" for short time only to retreat after being attacked by more numerous Chetnik forces. When Chetniks permanently captured "Stijena" they burned straws as signal to other insurgents about their success. This boosted morale of the insurgents to attack more fiercely the positions of Olovo garrison that began retreating from their positions. To avoid capture of his forces, garrison commander Streharski retreat to the positions west of the village Solun. On 17 December 1941 Olovo was recaptured by Chetnik and Partisan rebel units.
On 18 December Streharski continued his retreat under fire until his forces reached Careva Ćuprija.
Aftermath
At the end of 1941 joint Partisan-Chetnik administration still existed in many Eastern Bosnian towns, including Olovo.
The post-war Yugoslav sources emphasize that on 21 January 1942 part of German 750 regiment from 718 Infantry Division recaptured Olovo after the weak resistance of Chetniks. In 1943 Partisan 2nd Serbian brigade recaptured Olovo and burned its railway station and its wagons and equipment.

Anisole, or methoxybenzene, is an organic compound with the formula . It is a colorless liquid with a smell reminiscent of anise seed, and in fact many of its derivatives are found in natural and artificial fragrances. The compound is mainly made synthetically and is a precursor to other synthetic compounds. Structurally, it is an ether () with a methyl () and phenyl () group attached. Anisole is a standard reagent of both practical and pedagogical value.
It can be prepared by the Williamson ether synthesis; sodium phenoxide is reacted with a methyl halide to yield anisole.
Reactivity
Anisole undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction at a faster speed than benzene, which in turn reacts more quickly than nitrobenzene. The methoxy group is an ortho/para directing group, which means that electrophilic substitution preferentially occurs at these three sites. The enhanced nucleophilicity of anisole vs. benzene reflects the influence of the methoxy group, which renders the ring more electron-rich. The methoxy group strongly affects the pi cloud of the ring as a mesomeric electron donor, more so than as an inductive electron withdrawing group despite the electronegativity of the oxygen. Stated more quantitatively, the Hammett constant for para-substitution of anisole is –0.27.
Illustrative of its nucleophilicity, anisole reacts with acetic anhydride to give
Unlike most acetophenones, but reflecting the influence of the methoxy group, methoxyacetophenone undergoes a second acetylation. Many related reactions have been demonstrated. For example, phosphorus pentasulfide () converts anisole to Lawesson's reagent, .
Also indicating an electron-rich ring, anisole readily forms π-complexes with metal carbonyls, e.g. .
The ether linkage is highly stable, but the methyl group can be removed with hydroiodic acid:
Birch reduction of anisole gives 1-methoxycyclohexa-1,4-diene.
Preparation
Anisole is prepared by methylation of sodium phenoxide with dimethyl sulfate or methyl chloride:
Applications
Anisole is a precursor to perfumes, insect pheromones, and pharmaceuticals. For example, synthetic anethole is prepared from anisole.
Safety
Anisole is relatively nontoxic with an of 3700 mg/kg in rats. Its main hazard is its flammability.

Ashtë is a settlement in the former Bushat municipality, Shkodër County, northern Albania. Under the 2015 local government reform, it became part of the municipality Vau i Dejës.
The first settlers are believed to have settled here the mid-18th century.
The population of village at its peak, prior to the fall of communism, was 950 people. Under the atheist communist regime, the population of Ashtë remained staunchly 100% Roman Catholic. Recently, the residents and the church have cooperated to build a new church on land donated by Mr. Zek Gjoni (Jozef Johnny) of Dedi tribe.
The population of Ashtë village has now declined to about half its former number. The majority of emigrants are based in Italy; others have moved to USA, UK, Germany, Canada, and Greece.

Jed Arts A.F.C. was an association football club from Jedburgh, Scottish Borders.
History
The club was formed on 3 July 1930 as a side from the rayon factory, and its name was chosen as matching the pronunciation of the club's home town. The media occasionally retconned the name as standing for Jedburgh Artisans but the club's official name - and how it was most often referred to - was Jed Arts.
Jed Arts joined the East of Scotland League in 1930–31, and also played in the Border Cup and King Cup from that season, plus the East of Scotland Shield from 1933–34. The club's greatest successes came in 1936–37, when it won both the East of Scotland League (losing only 1 game, Walkingshaw scoring 30 of the club's 62 goals) and the Border Cup (beating Peebles Rovers 4–0 in the final), and reaching the final of the King Cup. This was in part due to bringing in "imported" players from around the region, rather than relying on home-town players.
Buoyed by this success, and now with a private ground, the club applied to join the Scottish Football Association before the 1937–38 season, but was rejected on the basis that the Bankend facilities were not up to scratch. The refusal was devastating; the expense required for its success the previous season was crippling, and, without SFA membership, the club had no access to a potentially lucrative income stream. The previous season, each home game had £10-£12 in expenses but only generated £4-£5 through the gates. The result was that, just before Christmas 1937, the Arts "shut up shop".
Player death
On 24 December 1932, the Arts played Chirnside United at Hawick; 20-year-old goalkeeper Robert Halliday was making his first appearance of the season. In the last seconds of the match, he suffered a kick to his kidneys in diving at the feet of an opponent, and was taken to hospital. Despite an operation on Christmas Day in the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, he died later that evening.
Colours
The club wore blue and white stripes, with white shorts and black socks.
Ground
The club originally played at Lothian Park. The ground was a public park, which precluded membership of the Scottish Football Association, and was subject to restrictions on use, which included requiring Mr Innes of the borough survey department to approve the pitch before each match; this cost the club every time a match was postponed after it had put its paraphernalia in place. In 1935 the club obtained its own private ground at Bankend Farm, opposite to Jedburgh railway station, thanks to the generosity of the Marquis of Lothian.
Notable players
The 1936–37 side included:
Robert King, defender, formerly of Heart of Midlothian, who captained the side in its 1936–37 season
Paddy Burke, left-half, formerly of Hibernian
Dave Sherlaw, centre-half, formerly of Charlton Athletic

"There'll Be Some Changes Made" ("Changes") is a popular song by Benton Overstreet (composer) and Billy Higgins (lyricist). Published in 1921, the song has flourished in several genres, particularly jazz. The song has endured for as many years as a jazz standard. According to the online The Jazz Discography (an index of jazz-only recordings), "Changes" had been recorded 404 times as of May 2018. The song and its record debut were revolutionary, in that the songwriters (Overstreet and Higgins, the original copyright publisher, Harry Herbert Pace, the vocalist to first record it (Ethel Waters), the owners of Black Swan (the record label), the opera singer (Elizabeth Greenfield) for whom the label was named, and the musicians on the recording led by Fletcher Henderson, were all African American. The production is identified by historians as a notable part of the Harlem Renaissance.
History and popularity milestones
1920s
The debut recording with Ethel Waters was recorded on Black Swan Records (1921) and rapidly became a hit. Her rendition features the rarely-heard 6-bar instrumental intro, followed by her singing the 1st verse (16 bars, plus 1), then her singing the 1st chorus (16 bars, plus 2), then instruments playing 8, plus 2 bars of the chorus, finishing with her singing the 1st chorus (16 bars, plus 2).
Variety magazine, in a fifty-year commemorative issue, included Ethel Waters' recording in its "Hit Parade of a Half-Century (1905–1955)" list for 1923. A 1924 recording by Marion Harris (Brunswick 2651) helped establish it as a standard. Other artists with notable recordings during the 1920s include Josie Miles (Ajax 17087; 1924), Sophie Tucker (Okeh 40921; 1927), and the Chicago Rhythm Kings (Red McKenzie, vocalist; Brunswick 4001; 1928). In jazz discography, which does not include the recordings of Marion Harris or Sophie Tucker, there were 11 recordings of the song during the 1920s.
1930s
Standout recordings from the 1930s include Fats Waller (Bluebird B10322; 1935), Pee Wee Russell's Rhythmakers (HRS (de) 1000; 1938), and Benny Goodman and His Orchestra (Louise Tobin, vocalist, Fletcher Henderson arrangement; Columbia 35210; 1939). In jazz discography, there were 17 recordings of the song during the 1930s, including double takes by (i) Benny Carter and His Swing Quintet (Masters of Jazz (F)MJCD95 CD & Vocalion S46), (ii) Pee Wee Russell's Rhythmakers (both takes on HRS 1001; 1938), (iii) Benny Goodman And His Orchestra (Columbia 35210 & Phontastic (Swd)NOST7606; 1939), and (iv) Eddie Condon And His Chicagoans (Decca 18041 & Meritt 11; 1939).
1940s
1941 was not a good year for newly published popular music due to the ASCAP strike. According to a January 31, 1942, Billboard article, ASCAP members claimed only 2 of the top 13 sellers in sheet music. Five of the remaining 11 were revivals, one of which was "There'll Be Some Changes Made." The 1941 film, Play Girl, gave new life to the song. In 1941, Benny Goodman's 1939 version became a Billboard No. 1 Hit for 4 weeks (during April and May) and peaked at No. 2 on Your Hit Parade. In 1961, BMI published a list, "All-Time Hit Songs, Broadcast Music, Inc., 1940–1960," in Billboard. "There'll Be Some Changes Made" was among the 17 songs listed for 1947. In jazz discography, there were 60 recordings of the song during the 1940s.
Notable recordings from the 1940s include Vaughn Monroe and His Orchestra (Marilyn Duke, vocalist; Bluebird B-11025-A; 1941), the Hoosier Hot Shots (Okeh 6114; 1941) and Peggy Lee (Capitol 15001; 1947).
1950s
In early 1959, Billie Holiday did three sessions with Ray Ellis and orchestra for MGM Records in New York: March 3, 4, and 11. She recorded "Changes" in the final session. That session turned out to be the last studio session of her life. She died later — on July 17. The album — released under various titles, notably, Last Recording (MGM SE-3764; 1959) — was posthumously released.
In jazz discography, there were 42 recordings of "Changes" during the 1950s.

Notable artists who recorded "Changes" include Ann-Margret on her 1962 album The Vivacious One, Jaki Byard (Muse 5007; 1972), Tony Bennett (Improv 7112; 1973–1977) and Fox Face (Dirtnap Records ZZZ-163; 2021)
2000
In 2004, Tony Bennett sang that song again at the Montreux Jazz Festival with the Phil Collins Big Band accompanied by pianist Ralph Sharon and double bassist Douglas Richeson, and that event can be heard on Collins's 4 CD box set Plays Well with Others published in 2018.
Western swing and country western
Outside of jazz, in western swing, Bob Wills recorded it in 1937 (Vocalion DAL 244-1). In country music, Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler recorded — on their 1990 Grammy award winning album Neck and Neck — a parody version that references the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing"
Selected videography, filmography, and stage
Feature films
Use of the song in the 1941 film, Play Girl, helped repopularize the song 20 years after its debut.
Ida Lupino sang the song in the 1948 film, Road House
Joan Blondell sang the song in the 1951 film, The Blue Veil
In the 1972 film Slaughterhouse-Five, a quartet is singing the song when the airplane Billy Pilgrim is traveling in spins out of control and crashes.
Ann Reinking sang and danced to the song accompanied by Leland Palmer and Erzsébet Földi during the "Hallucination Sequence" in the 1979 film, All That Jazz, directed by Bob Fosse. Reinking, Fosse's previous partner, directs the song to Roy Scheider playing Joe Gideon, a semi-autobiographical version of Fosse himself.
The soundtrack of Woody Allen's 1999 film, Sweet and Lowdown, included "There'll Be Some Changes Made," recorded by members of the film's music department: Howard Alden, solo guitar, Bucky Pizzarelli, rhythm guitar, Ken Peplowski, clarinet, Kelly Friesen, bass, and Ted Sommer, drums. In the scene, Emmet Ray, played by Sean Penn in the lead role as a guitarist, is playing the song with his quintet at a club as he is approached by a woman with black hair.
Shorts
The 1928 Vitaphone short film, Character Studies (Vitaphone 2734), directed by Murry Roth, featured three songs, including "Changes," all sung by Florence Brady (née Florence E. McAleer; born approx. 1902), a comedian, singer, vaudeville actress, and longtime stage partner with her songwriter husband, Gilbert William Wells (1893–1935).

Notes on the Tatum recording
† "There'll Be Some Changes Made," was recorded in 1941 on acetate discs by an amateur, a Columbia Student, Jerry Newman (né Jerome Robert Newman; 1918–1970), and released in the 1973. Newman's collection was the initial sole material used to launch the jazz label, Onyx Recording, Inc. (aka Onyx Records), a New York entity co-founded in 1972 by Don Schlitten and Joe Fields.
Newman, while a student at Columbia in 1941, lugged his acetate disc recording machine – a portable Wilcox-Gay Recordio "disc cutter" – to jazz clubs in Harlem, including Minton's Playhouse on 118th Street and Clark Monroe's Uptown House on 134th Street, both of which were incubators of jazz of the day, and in 1941, the beginning of bebop. Newman's collection served as the core library for Onyx Recording, Inc. Art Tatum at Minton's in 1941, issued by Onyx after being declined by Columbia, on the LP God Is in the House. At the 16th Annual Grammy Awards held in March 1974, the album won two Grammys, one for Best Improvised Jazz Solo and one for Best Liner Notes, written by Morgenstern. Newman's recordings have been issued as unauthorized records, variously over the years; that is, none were done so with the permission or participation of the artists or their estates. The commercial value of the recordings were deemed ; and those who acquired and distributed the recordings viewed the mission as one of curating jazz history.
The Art Tatum session at Gee-Haw Stables, later, became the subject of a poem, "Art Tatum at the Gee-Haw Stables," by Grace Schulman.

Michael Reid (15 May 1944 - 13 January 2023) was a Christian evangelist in Essex, England. Also known as Bishop Michael Reid, he was the founder of the Peniel Pentecostal Church (aka Michael Reid Ministries), and ran high-profile advertisements in the press promoting the church.
Biography
Reid had been described in the press as a "Mercedes-driving former policeman" who "made millions by selling insurance policies to the faithful", and advertised miracle healings although a 1999 investigation by the Advertising Standards Authority was unable to substantiate the claims.
Advertisements in the press usually described him as "Bishop Michael Reid" in the International Communion of Charismatic Churches. He was no longer associated with this group, but he continued to use this title on social media sites.
Reid was the author and co-author of several books and a founder member of the Christian Congress for Traditional Values (CCTV) to monitor challenges to family life and traditional belief in the UK. He was also a figure in the organisation's campaign challenging the BBC over its decision to screen Jerry Springer - The Opera on television.
In April 2008, Reid admitted to an extramarital sexual relationship and resigned from the leadership of Peniel Pentecostal Church.
He died on 13 January 2023.

The 2023 Le Mans Cup, known as the 2023 Michelin Le Mans Cup under sponsorship, is the eighth season of the Le Mans Cup. The six-event season began at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on 22 April and will finish at Algarve International Circuit on 22 October. The series is open to Le Mans Prototypes in the LMP3 class, and grand tourer sports cars in the GT3 class.
Calendar
The provisional calendar for the 2023 season was announced on 22 September 2022. On the 11th of April it was announced the 4 Hours of Imola would be postponed due to ongoing works on the pit lane and paddock areas. On the 14th of April it was announced that Imola round would be cancelled and Aragón round would be added.
Entries
LMP3
All cars in the LMP3 class used the 2020 spec Nissan VK56DE 5.6L V8 engine and Michelin tyres. The new-for-2022 race length of 1h 50m removes the need for the additional mandatory stop that was introduced in 2020 to mitigate unexpected higher fuel consumption.
GT3
Leonardo Pulcini was scheduled to compete for Iron Lynx but did not appear in any rounds.
Race results

Apokalips X is a 2014 Malaysian Malay-language post-apocalyptic action film directed and written by Mamat Khalid.
Synopsis
Apocalypse X tells the story of a human civilization that lives after a Nuclear War breaks out in 2047. The remnants of humanity that survived the war live in chaos, lost their purpose and become violent. Then, several clans appeared that argued and killed each other for survival and the title of leader. Humans are currently divided into five factions namely Merah Putih led by X (Farid Kamil), Taring Led led by Sri Gala (Peter Davis), Flora led by Kulat (Zoee Tan), Lotus led by Melur (Vasanth) and Jingking led by Y (Jehan Poor) of the 30 tribes originally.
The tribes tried to establish peace through a peace agreement founded by the Reverend despite the existence of resentment and hatred between them. X, who was feared in his former glory, was determined not to fight again until any time. But the peace agreement that had stopped the deadly battle once before became more and more threatened when Aman Chai (Adam), X's main follower fell in love with Sri Gala's beloved daughter QiQi (Miera Leyana). The fight that broke out as a result of the love affair and Kala's incitement caused QiQi to be seriously injured. Sri Gala who was inflamed by the incident was determined to get out of the peace agreement that had been signed for years.
As the tension between X and Sri Gala escalates, the power-mad Kala takes advantage by planning his actions to bring down the two gangs. Kala managed to increase the number of followers while preparing to attack.

The 1990 AC Delco 500 was the 27th stock car race of the 1990 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the 16th iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, October 21, 1990, before an audience of 55,800 in Rockingham, North Carolina, at North Carolina Speedway, a permanent high-banked racetrack. At race's end, owner-driver Alan Kulwicki would manage to dominate the late stages of the race to take his second career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his only victory of the season. To fill out the top three, Melling Racing driver Bill Elliott and Leo Jackson Motorsports driver Harry Gant would finish second and third, respectively.
In the driver's championship, second-place driver in the standings, Dale Earnhardt, was able to gain four points over first-place driver Mark Martin, dropping Martin's lead down to 45 points.
Background
North Carolina Speedway was opened as a flat, one-mile oval on October 31, 1965. In 1969, the track was extensively reconfigured to a high-banked, D-shaped oval just over one mile in length. In 1997, North Carolina Motor Speedway merged with Penske Motorsports, and was renamed North Carolina Speedway. Shortly thereafter, the infield was reconfigured, and competition on the infield road course, mostly by the SCCA, was discontinued. Currently, the track is home to the Fast Track High Performance Driving School.
Entry list
(R) denotes rookie driver.
Qualifying
Qualifying was split into two rounds. The first round was held on Thursday, October 18, at 2:30 PM EST. Each driver would have one lap to set a time. During the first round, the top 20 drivers in the round would be guaranteed a starting spot in the race. If a driver was not able to guarantee a spot in the first round, they had the option to scrub their time from the first round and try and run a faster lap time in a second round qualifying run, held on Friday, October 19, at 2:00 PM EST. As with the first round, each driver would have one lap to set a time. For this specific race, positions 21-40 would be decided on time, and depending on who needed it, a select amount of positions were given to cars who had not otherwise qualified but were high enough in owner's points; up to two were given.
Ken Schrader, driving for Hendrick Motorsports, would win the pole, setting a time of 24.769 and an average speed of in the first round.
Four drivers would fail to qualify.

The Hantzsch Pyrrole Synthesis, named for Arthur Rudolf Hantzsch, is the chemical reaction of β-ketoesters (1) with ammonia (or primary amines) and α-haloketones (2) to give substituted pyrroles (3).
Pyrroles are found in a variety of natural products with biological activity, so the synthesis of substituted pyrroles has important applications in medicinal chemistry. Alternative methods for synthesizing pyrroles exist, such as the Knorr Pyrrole Synthesis and Paal-Knorr Synthesis.
Mechanism
Below is one published mechanism for the reaction:
The mechanism starts with the amine (1) attacking the β carbon of the β-ketoesters (2), and eventually forming an enamine (3). The enamine then attacks the carbonyl carbon of the α-haloketone (4). This is followed by the loss of H2O, giving an imine (5). This intermediate undergoes an intramolecular nucleophilic attack, forming a 5-membered ring (6). Finally, a hydrogen is eliminated and the pi-bonds are rearranged in the ring, yielding the final product (7).
An alternative mechanism has been proposed in which the enamine (3) attacks the α-carbon of the α-haloketone (4) as part of a nucleophilic substitution, instead of attacking the carbonyl carbon.
Generalized Reaction Under Mechanochemical Conditions
A generalization of the Hantzsch pyrrole synthesis was developed by Estevez, et al. In this reaction highly substituted pyrroles can be synthesized in a one-pot reaction, with relatively high yields (60% - 97%). This reaction involves the high-speed vibration milling (HSVM) of ketones with N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) and p-toluenesulfonic acid, to form an α-iodoketone in situ. This is followed by addition of a primary amine, a β-dicarbonyl compound, cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) and silver nitrate, as shown in the scheme below:
Applications
2,3-dicarbonylated pyrroles
2,3-dicarbonylated pyrroles can be synthesized by a version of the Hantzsch Pyrrole Synthesis. These pyrroles are particularly useful for total synthesis because the carbonyl groups can be converted into a variety of other functional groups.
Substituted indoles
The reaction can also occur between an enamine and an α-haloketone to synthesize substituted indoles, which also have biological significance.
Continuous flow chemistry
A library of substituted pyrrole analogs can be quickly produced by using continuous flow chemistry (reaction times of around 8 min.). The advantage of using this method, as opposed to the in-flask synthesis, is that this one does not require the work-up and purification of several intermediates, and could therefore lead to a higher percent yield.

Keith Peacock (born 2 May 1945) is an English former footballer and manager. He was the first player to come on as a substitute in the Football League.
Early life
Peacock was born in Barnehurst. and educated at Erith Grammar School.
Playing career
Peacock played his entire professional career for Charlton Athletic, making over 500 Football League appearances between 1962 and 1979. In May 1963 he scored in the 2-1 last day of season victory at Walsall that kept Charlton in the second tier and relegated Walsall. On 21 August 1965, he became the first substitute used in the Football League when he replaced injured goalkeeper Mick Rose after 11 minutes of an away match against Bolton Wanderers.
He played for the Columbus Magic of the ASL before joining his old friend Gordon Jago as his assistant manager and player at the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the North American Soccer League until 1982. Peacock's last appearance as a player for the Rowdies was during the 1980–81 indoor season.
Managerial career
Peacock was manager of Gillingham between 1981 and 1987 and then Maidstone United between 1989 and 1991. He later served as assistant manager at Charlton Athletic before stepping down after the resignation of Alan Curbishley in 2006. He moved to West Ham United where he became first a scout and then assistant manager under Alan Pardew and Alan Curbishley. He ended this role at the end of the 2006–07 season.
In September 2007 Peacock returned to Charlton in the role of honorary associate director.
On 4 January 2011, Peacock was appointed caretaker manager of Charlton following the departure of Phil Parkinson.
Personal life
Peacock married Lesley and has a son, Gavin (born 1967), who also became a professional footballer. He also has a daughter called Lauren and four grandchildren. In 2004, his autobiography No Substitute was published by Charlton Athletic. In 2013, he was inducted into the Charlton Athletic Hall of Fame.

qsort is a C standard library function that implements a sorting algorithm for arrays of arbitrary objects according to a user-provided comparison function. It is named after the "quicker sort" algorithm (a quicksort variant due to R. S. Scowen), which was originally used to implement it in the Unix C library, although the C standard does not require it to implement quicksort.
The ability to operate on different kinds of data (polymorphism) is achieved by taking a function pointer to a three-way comparison function, as well as a parameter that specifies the size of its individual input objects. The C standard requires the comparison function to implement a total order on the items in the input array.
History
A qsort function appears in Version 2 Unix in 1972 as a library assembly language subroutine. Its interface is unlike the modern version, in that it can be pseudo-prototyped as qsort(void * start, void * end, unsigned length) – sorting contiguously-stored length-long byte strings from the range [start, end). This, and the lack of a replaceable comparison function, makes it unsuitable to properly sort the system's little-endian integers, or any other data structures.
In Version 3 Unix, the interface is extended by calling compar(III), with an interface identical to modern-day memcmp. This function may be overriden by the user's program to implement any kind of ordering, in an equivalent fashion to the compar argument to standard qsort (though program-global, of course).
Version 4 Unix adds a C implementation, with an interface equivalent to the standard.
It was rewritten in 1983 for the Berkeley Software Distribution. The function was standardized in ANSI C (1989).
The assembly implementation is removed in Version 6 Unix.
In 1991, Bell Labs employees observed that AT&T and BSD versions of qsort would consume quadratic time for some simple inputs. Thus Jon Bentley and Douglas McIlroy engineered a new faster and more robust implementation. McIlroy would later produce a more complex quadratic-time input, termed AntiQuicksort, in 1998. This function constructs adversary data on-the-fly.
Example
The following piece of C code shows how to sort a list of integers using qsort.
#include <stdlib.h>
/* Comparison function. Receives two generic (void) pointers to the items under comparison. */
int compare_ints(const void *p, const void *q) {
int x = *(const int *)p;
int y = *(const int *)q;
/* Avoid return x - y, which can cause undefined behaviour
because of signed integer overflow. */
if (x < y)
return -1; // Return -1 if you want ascending, 1 if you want descending order.
else if (x > y)
return 1; // Return 1 if you want ascending, -1 if you want descending order.
return 0;
// All the logic is often alternatively written:
return (x > y) - (x < y);
}
/* Sort an array of n integers, pointed to by a. */
void sort_ints(int *a, size_t n) {
qsort(a, n, sizeof(*a), compare_ints);
}
Extensions
Since the comparison function of the original qsort only accepts two pointers, passing in additional parameters (e.g. producing a comparison function that compares by the two value's difference with another value) must be done using global variables. The issue was solved by the BSD and GNU Unix-like systems by a introducing qsort_r function, which allows for an additional parameter to be passed to the comparison function. The two versions of qsort_r have different argument orders. C11 Annex K defines a qsort_s essentially identical to GNU's qsort_r. The macOS and FreeBSD libcs also contain qsort_b, a variant that uses blocks, an analogue to closures, as an alternate solution to the same problem.

The UXV Combatant is a concept drone carrier warship designed by BVT Surface Fleet (now BAE Systems Maritime – Naval Ships), which was displayed at the Defence Security and Equipment International (DSEI) in 2007. UXV Combatant shares some common design features with the Type 45 destroyer.
Design
The design features two flight decks for launching unmanned aerial vehicles, V/STOL aircraft, and helicopters; arrayed in a "V" shape. Each flight deck is approximately in length. To launch aircraft, it could be expected to use the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System or a ski-jump. It was also reported to be capable of launching unmanned underwater vehicles via a "moon pool", and in addition, able to embark a large number of troops plus their equipment. For naval gunfire support, the design is equipped with a 155 mm cannon, able to fire bursts of 20 rounds in rapid succession. It also features a vertical launching system.
Mission
UXV Combatant is designed to better meet the threats of asymmetric warfare. Able to deploy assault troops or special forces ashore with their equipment, it is designed to provide the necessary firepower to support them. Such as; land-attack cruise missile launched via its vertical launching system, its 155 mm gun, and a fleet of unmanned combat aerial vehicles. UXV Combatant is also designed to perform reconnaissance missions, with powerful ship-borne sensors and unmanned aerial vehicles. UXV Combatant is designed to act both independently, or as an escort.
Current status
This is a concept warship only, and there are currently no plans for this concept to enter design proper.

Cassidy is an unincorporated community straddling Haslam Creek. near the east coast of southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The location on BC Highway 19 is about by road north-west of Victoria, and south of Nanaimo.
The area is served by the coast-spanning Island Highway, the Island Rail Corridor, and the Nanaimo Airport.
Name origin
Thomas Cassidy farmed in the Oyster district from the 1870s. The homestead was called Cassidy's place or Tom Cassidy's. In 1884, his initial preemption converted into a Crown grant. During the railway construction 1884–1886, he supplied the camps near the Nanaimo River with milk and vegetables. By the early 1900s, the locality was known as Cassidy's Siding.
His son, Thomas William Cassidy, sold to the Department of National Defence in 1942 for a Royal Canadian Air Force glider pilot training facility. The site is now home to the Nanaimo Airport.
Coalmine
In 1918, Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power Company began working the Douglas coal seam. However, the sandy overburden made mining difficult. At the peak of production in 1921 and 1922, 450 men worked each shift. In 1928, the mine had a total of 500 employees, and 200 working each eight-hour shift that produced 1,000 tons. In 1932, the Granby mine ceased operation because of the coal seam exhausting, the rising popularity of oil, the dangerous condition of the mine, and the Great Depression.
Seven different mines operated in the vicinity from 1917 to 1953 producing over 2.5 million tonnes of coal.
Early community
In 1919, the company established the settlement of Cassidy. The model town included 19 houses of various sizes connected to power, water, and sewer, with a provision for a further 50 residences. The tree lined streets had grass verges and sidewalks. A single men's concrete dormitory, accommodating workers in 76 rooms, had light, hot and cold water and steam heat. Equally, the mess house had all modern conveniences. The recreation ground facilitated a range of sports activities.
The town, which covered , had paved streets, a department store and a theatre. In 1932, when the mine closed, residents abandoned their houses. In March 1936, the remnants of the town were auctioned and largely removed. By 1951, only a caretaker and skeletal concrete structures remained.
Railway
Around 1907 to 1908, a station briefly existed south at Coburn. A decade later at Cassidy, a spur line connected to the E&N Railway, from where coal travelled by rail to Ladysmith. In 1919, the Cassidy train station opened, and was a flag stop when Via Rail on Vancouver Island ceased in 2011. Adjacent stops were about south to Ladysmith, and north to South Wellington. Immediately south of Vowels Rd, not even a signpost marked the flag stop location in its final years.
Cassidy Hotel/Inn
Erected in 1914, the building was a bunkhouse for Dunsmuir coal surveyors and engineers. Becoming the community recreation centre, a liquor licence was subsequently issued in 1925. The 1953 paving of the Island Highway boosted business. Patronage waning, the inn was revived as a neighbourhood pub in 1983. In 2013, the building represented an Alaskan bar in the Superman movie Man of Steel. Facing a bleak future, the establishment closed about 2014. In 2016, after a demolition reprieve, fire gutted the vacant building on the south corner of Beck Rd.
Later community
Logging revived the community throughout the 1940s and 1950s. The Cassidy Drive-In operated 1954–1992. Undergoing significant development since the 1970s, the Ray Collishaw Air Terminal serves Nanaimo. The residential area is a bedroom community for Nanaimo. Several commercial enterprises line the highway. There is a camping, RV park, and golf course to the west to on Haslam Creek called Rondalyn Resort. To the north, also on Haslam Creek, there's another campground called Birds Nest Campground. At Beck Rd are parking, a picnic area, and Cassidy Country Kitchen.

About 49% of the park is flat plains, 18% gently undulating, 21% undulating, and 10% strongly undulating. 1% is mountainous.
Altitudes range from above sea level.
The park holds 39 river sub-basins.
The largest is that of the São Tomé River, which occupies 23% of the area and has all its sources in the park.
The Sucunduri River basin in the north of the park covers 10% of the total area.
The rivers are classed as clear water. They are green or olive-green in the dry seasons, muddy in the rainy season.
Navigability is poor for vessels of any size due to rocky outcrops, small or large rapids and waterfalls.
History
Juruena National Park was created by decree on 5 June 2006 and is administered by the federal Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation.
It is one of the parks created under the Amazon Region Protected Areas Programme (ARPA) launched in 2002.
In 2014 the federal government was considering a proposal to declare the Juruena National Park an area of public utility in preparation for constructing two hydroelectric dams in the site, the São Simão Alto and Salto Augusto Baixo.
The planned dams had a forecast capacity of 4,940 MW.
The National Council for Energy Policy (CNPE) had two seats for civil society members, but these had not been filled.
WWF-Brasil led a campaign against the energy project, which would flood an area of over .
In September 2014 the federal government withdrew its proposal.
The dams would have flooded parts of the Juruena National Park, Igarapés do Juruena State Park and the Escondido and Apiaká do Pontal indigenous territories in Mato Grosso, and would have affected part of the Sucunduri State Park in Amazonas and other indigenous territories.
Conservation
The park is classed as IUCN protected area category II (national park).
The basic objective is to preserve natural ecosystems of great ecological relevance and scenic beauty such as the waterfalls of the Juruena River at Salto Augusto and San Simon, and to support scientific research, environmental education and interpretation, recreation in contact with nature and ecological tourism.
The park aims to protect the biological diversity and natural landscapes of the lower Juruena - Teles Pires and upper Tapajós region.
It ensures a healthy ecosystem in the crucial Southern Amazon region between the Tapajós and Madeira rivers.
The park protects many endangered species including the jaguar, giant otter and harpy eagle.
The park forms part of an ecological corridor, that includes Xingu Indigenous Park in Mato Grosso and Pará, the Terra do Meio Mosaic in Pará, the Juruena National Park in Amazonas and Mato Grosso, the Apuí Mosaic in Amazonas and then the Campos Amazônicos National Park in Amazonas and Roraima.
The corridor is intended to contain agricultural expansion into the central Amazon region and deforestation.
The conservation unit is supported by the Amazon Region Protected Areas Program.
Environment
Average annual rainfall is . Temperatures range from with an average of .
The region is a transition zone between the Amazon biome and the xeromorphic formations of the Cerrado biome. The park has of water and of different types of vegetation. 53.4% is dense or open rainforest, and 36.35% consists of contact areas or enclaves of rainforest with other formations such as wooded or park savannah. The remaining land holds semi-deciduous forest or disturbed vegetation. Although there is controversy over the classification, the non-forest areas resemble Campinarana formations.
412 bird species have been identified, of which 40 are endemic to the southern Amazon and at least 26 are restricted to the Madeira - Tapajós.
Endemic species include bald parrot (Pyrilia aurantiocephala), bare-eyed antbird (Rhegmatorhina gymnops), tooth-billed wren (Odontorchilus cinereus), snow-capped manakin (Lepidothrix nattereri), Gould's toucanet (Selenidera gouldii), dark-winged trumpeter (Psophia viridis) and crimson-bellied parakeet (Pyrrhura perlata). Migratory birds include purple martin (Progne subis), barn swallow (Hirundo rustica), white-throated kingbird (Tyrannus albogularis), fork-tailed flycatcher (Tyrannus savana), and tropical kingbird (Tyrannus melancholicus).
The ashy black titi (Callicebus cinerascens) is endemic. Migratory fish include Boulengerella ocellata, Brachyplatystoma filamentosum, Hydrolycus armatus, Leiarius marmoratus, Pseudoplatystoma species, Prochilodus nigricans, Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum and Tympanopleura atronasus.

Riwaq () or Centre for Architectural Conservation is a center for the preservation of architectural heritage on the West Bank in Palestine. The organization is based in Ramallah and owes its name mainly to a riwaq, which is an arcade in Islamic architecture.
Riwaq was founded in 1991 with the aim to preserve cultural heritage. Researchers of the center have compiled a detailed register of historic buildings in Palestine. Buildings at this location are frequently threatened by military occupation and counter actions of inhabitants. In the course of twenty years since its foundation, Riwaq had completed more than one hundred restoration projects, including major monuments in the Old City of Jerusalem and the renovation of historic streets in the historical part of Bethlehem.

Mary Boleyn, also known as Lady Mary, (c. 1499 – 19 July 1543) was the sister of English queen consort Anne Boleyn, whose family enjoyed considerable influence during the reign of King Henry VIII.
Mary was one of the mistresses of Henry VIII for an unknown period. It has been rumoured that she bore two of the King's children, though Henry did not acknowledge either. Mary was also rumoured to have been a mistress of Henry VIII's rival, King Francis I of France, for some period between 1515 and 1519.
Mary Boleyn was married twice: in 1520 to William Carey, and again, secretly, in 1534, to William Stafford, a soldier from a good family but with few prospects. This secret marriage to a man considered beneath her station angered King Henry VIII and her sister, Queen Anne, and resulted in Mary's banishment from the royal court. She died seven years later, having spent the remainder of her life in obscurity.
Early life
Mary was probably born at Blickling Hall, the family seat in Norfolk, and grew up at Hever Castle, Kent. She was the daughter of a wealthy diplomat and courtier, Thomas Boleyn, later Earl of Wiltshire, by his marriage to Elizabeth Howard, the eldest daughter of Thomas Howard, then Earl of Surrey and future 2nd Duke of Norfolk, and his first wife Elizabeth Tilney, therefore Mary was a niece of the future 3rd Duke of Norfolk, and a first cousin of both the poet and soldier Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, and Henry VIII's future fifth wife, Catherine Howard, daughter of Lord Edmund Howard, Mary's uncle.
There is no evidence as to Mary's exact date of birth, but it occurred sometime between 1499 and 1508. Most historians suggest she was the eldest of the three surviving Boleyn children. Evidence suggests that the Boleyn family treated Mary as the eldest child; in 1597, her grandson Lord Hunsdon claimed the earldom of Ormond on the grounds that he was the Boleyns' legitimate heir. Many ancient peerages can descend through female heirs without an immediate male heir. If Anne had been the elder sister, the better claim to the title would have belonged to her daughter, Queen Elizabeth I. However, it appears that Queen Elizabeth offered Mary's son, Henry, the earldom as he was dying, although he declined it. If Mary had been the eldest Boleyn sister, Henry would have the better claim to the title, regardless of a new grant from the Queen. There is more evidence to suggest that Mary was older than Anne. She was married first, on 4 February 1520; an elder daughter traditionally married before a younger sister. Moreover, in 1532, when Anne was created Marchioness of Pembroke, she was referred to as "one of the daughters of Thomas Boleyn". Were she the eldest, that status would probably have been mentioned. Most historians now accept Mary as the eldest child, placing her birth sometime in 1499.
During her early years, it is most likely that Mary was educated alongside her brother George, and her sister Anne at Hever Castle. She was given the conventional education deemed essential for young ladies of her rank and status, which included the basic principles of arithmetic, grammar, history, reading, spelling and writing. In addition to her family genealogy, Mary learned the feminine accomplishments of dancing, embroidery, etiquette, household management, music, needlework, singing, and games such as cards and chess. She was also taught archery, falconry, riding, and hunting.
Mary remained in England for most of her childhood until she was sent abroad in 1514 around the age of fifteen when her father secured her a place as maid-of-honour to the King's sister, Princess Mary, who was going to Paris to marry King Louis XII of France.
Royal affair in France
Mary was joined in Paris by her father Sir Thomas and her sister Anne, who had been studying in France for the previous year. During this time, Mary is supposed to have embarked on sexual affairs, including one with King Francis I himself, Francis having succeeded Louis XII who had died shortly after his marriage to Princess Mary. Although most historians believe that the reports of her sexual affairs are exaggerated, Francis referred to her as "The English Mare", "my hackney", and as "una grandissima ribalda, infame sopra tutte" ("a very great whore, the most infamous of all").
She returned to England in 1519, where she was appointed a maid-of-honour to Catherine of Aragon, the queen consort of Henry VIII. Mary was reportedly considered to be a great beauty at both the French and English courts.
Royal mistress
Soon after her return, Mary was married to William Carey, a wealthy and influential courtier, on 4 February 1520; Henry VIII was a guest at the couple's wedding. At some point, Mary became Henry's mistress; the starting date and duration of the liaison are unknown.
It was rumoured that the king fathered one or both of Mary's children. Even if this was so, however, Henry did not acknowledge either of them as his children, although he had previously acknowledged Henry FitzRoy, his son by another mistress, Elizabeth Blount.
Henry VIII's wife, Catherine of Aragon, had first been married to Henry's elder brother Arthur when he was a little over fifteen years old, but Arthur died just a few months later. Henry later used this to justify the annulment of his marriage to Catherine, arguing that her marriage to Arthur had created an affinity between Henry and Catherine; as his brother's wife, under canon law, she became his sister. In 1527, during his initial attempts to obtain a papal annulment of his marriage to Catherine, Henry similarly requested a dispensation to marry Anne, the sister of his former mistress.
Sister's rise to power
Anne returned to England in January 1522; she soon joined the royal court as one of Queen Catherine's maids-of-honour. Anne achieved considerable popularity at court, although the sisters moved in different circles and were not considered close.
Although Mary is said to have been more attractive than her sister, Anne seems more ambitious and intelligent. When the King took an interest in Anne, she refused to become his mistress. By the middle of 1526, Henry was determined to marry her. This gave him further incentive to seek the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. When Mary's husband died during an outbreak of sweating sickness, Henry granted Anne Boleyn the wardship of her nephew, Henry Carey. Mary's husband had left her with considerable debts, and Anne arranged for her nephew to be educated at a respectable Cistercian monastery. Anne also interceded to secure an annual pension of £100 for her widowed sister.
Second marriage
In 1532, Mary was one of her companions when Anne accompanied Henry to the English Pale of Calais on his way to a state visit to France. Anne was crowned Queen on 1 June 1533, and on 7 September gave birth to Henry's daughter Elizabeth, who later became Queen Elizabeth I. In 1534, Mary secretly married an Essex landowner's younger son: William Stafford (later Sir William Stafford). Since Stafford was a soldier, his prospects as a second son so slight, and his income so small, many believed that the union was a love match. When Mary became pregnant, the marriage was discovered. Queen Anne was furious, and the Boleyn family disowned Mary. The couple were banished from court.
Mary's financial circumstances became so desperate that she begged the king's chief adviser Thomas Cromwell to speak to Henry and Anne. She admitted that she might have chosen "a greater man of birth" but never one that should have loved her so well, nor a more honest man. And she went on, "I had rather beg my bread with him than to be the greatest queen in Christendom. And I believe verily ... he would not forsake me to be a king". Henry, however, seems to have been indifferent to her plight. Mary asked Cromwell to speak to her father, her uncle, and her brother, but to no avail. Anne relented, sending Mary a magnificent golden cup and some money, but still refused to reinstate her position at court. This partial reconciliation was the closest the two sisters attained; it is not thought that they met after Mary's exile from the King's court.
Mary's life between 1534 and her sister's execution on 19 May 1536 is difficult to trace. There is no record of her visiting her parents and no evidence of any correspondence with, or visits to, her sister Anne or her brother George when they were imprisoned in the Tower of London.
Mary died of unknown causes on 19 July 1543, in her early forties.
Issue
Mary Boleyn was the mother of:
Catherine Carey (1524 – 15 January 1569). Maid-of-honour to both Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard, she married a Puritan, Sir Francis Knollys, Knight of the Garter, by whom she had issue. She later became chief lady of the bedchamber to her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. One of her daughters, Lettice Knollys, became the second wife of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, the favourite of Elizabeth I.
Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon (4 March 1526 – 23 July 1596). Queen Elizabeth I ennobled him shortly after her coronation and later made a Knight of the Garter. When he was dying, Elizabeth offered Henry the Boleyn family title of Earl of Ormond, which he had long sought but, at that point, declined. He was married to Anne Morgan, by whom he had issue.
Mary's marriage to William Stafford (d. 5 May 1556) may have resulted in the birth of two further children:
Edward Stafford (1535–1545).
Anne Stafford (b. 1536?), possibly named in honour of Mary's sister, Queen Anne Boleyn.
Depictions in fiction
Mary is featured in the following novels:

Dear Heart, How Like You This? by Wendy J. Dunn (2002)
Doomed Queen Anne by Carolyn Meyer (2002)
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel (2009)
Mary has been the central character in three novels based on her life:
Court Cadenza (later published under the title The Tudor Sisters) by Aileen Armitage (Aileen Quigley) (1974)
The Last Boleyn by Karen Harper (1983)
The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory (2001)
Philippa Gregory later nominated Mary as her heroine in an interview with BBC History magazine. Her novel spawned five others in the same series but drew criticism for its lack of historical accuracy. For example, Gregory characterises Anne, not Mary, as the elder sister and does not mention Mary's relationships before her affair with Henry.
Mary is a character in several films and television series:
In the film Anne of the Thousand Days (1969), she is played by Valerie Gearon.
In the BBC television film The Other Boleyn Girl (2003), based on the novel of the same name by Philippa Gregory, she is played by Natascha McElhone.
In the Showtime television series The Tudors (2007–2010), she is played by Perdita Weeks.
In the film The Other Boleyn Girl (2008), also based on Gregory's novel, she is played by Scarlett Johansson.
In the miniseries Wolf Hall (2015), the television adaptation based on Hilary Mantel's novel of the same name, Mary is portrayed by Charity Wakefield.
Non-fiction
Mary is also a subject in three non-fiction books:

Dance criticism in the United States is the act of producing a written or spoken review of a dance performance (often ballet, modern dance, or contemporary dance). It may also refer to the report itself, which may act as an archived review, critique, or highlight. As with other topics, dance criticism may employ its own technical language, and may also reflect the critic's opinions. Major newspapers cover the arts in some form and dance criticism may be included. Dance criticism is available in other types of media as well, such as online publishing, through blogs, websites, and online videos.
Current dance critics
Throughout the 20th century, dance critiques were available primarily through newspaper and magazine writing. With the improvement of technology, they have become increasingly available through social media platforms and blogs, significantly influencing how the general public views dance art forms.

Federico García Lorca or the Monument to Federico García Lorca is an instance of public art in Madrid, Spain. Located at the Plaza de Santa Ana, in front of the Teatro Español, it consists of a bronze statue of the aforementioned poet and playwright.
History and description
The idea for the monument traces back to 1984, via a petition by (then director of the Teatro Español), who asked the Ayuntamiento for the erection of a statue dedicated to García Lorca, on the 50th anniversary of the first time the play Yerma was performed.
A work by , its inception took place between 1984 and 1986. It was subsequently stored for about a decade at the Cuartel del Conde-Duque, during the reform works of its intended location, the Plaza de Santa Ana.
The full body bronze statue representing the poet is looking at the Teatro Español, while holding a lark about to take off between his hands. Larks and nightingales are common motifs in his poems.
The inscription reads ("Madrid, to Federico García Lorca").
Still a symbol of the polarized past of Spain by the turn of the 21st century, according to David Crocker "the statue, at least, is still an emblem of the contested past: each day, the Left puts a red kerchief on the neck of the statue, and someone from the Right comes later to take it off". In April 2011, during a vandal attack, the lark was removed from his hands.

\end{Name}
\section{Synopsis}
\File{\#include $<$libunwind.h$>$}\\
\Type{int} \Func{unw\_get\_reg}(\Type{unw\_cursor\_t~*}\Var{cp}, \Type{unw\_regnum\_t} \Var{reg}, \Type{unw\_word\_t~*}\Var{valp});\\
\section{Description}
The \Func{unw\_get\_reg}() routine reads the value of register
\Var{reg} in the stack frame identified by cursor \Var{cp} and stores
the value in the word pointed to by \Var{valp}.
The register numbering is target-dependent and described in separate
manual pages (e.g., libunwind-ia64(3) for the IA-64 target).
Furthermore, the exact set of accessible registers may depend on the
type of frame that \Var{cp} is referring to. For ordinary stack
frames, it is normally possible to access only the preserved
(``callee-saved'') registers and frame-related registers (such as the
stack-pointer). However, for signal frames (see
\Func{unw\_is\_signal\_frame}(3)), it is usually possible to access
all registers.
Note that \Func{unw\_get\_reg}() can only read the contents of
registers whose values fit in a single word. See
\Func{unw\_get\_fpreg}(3) for a way to read registers which do not fit
this constraint.
\section{Return Value}
On successful completion, \Func{unw\_get\_reg}() returns 0.
Otherwise the negative value of one of the error-codes below is
returned.
\section{Thread and Signal Safety}
\Func{unw\_get\_reg}() is thread-safe as well as safe to use
from a signal handler.
\section{Errors}
\begin{Description}
\item[\Const{UNW\_EUNSPEC}] An unspecified error occurred.
\item[\Const{UNW\_EBADREG}] An attempt was made to read a register
that is either invalid or not accessible in the current frame.
\end{Description}
In addition, \Func{unw\_get\_reg}() may return any error returned by
the \Func{access\_mem}(), \Func{access\_reg}(), and
\Func{access\_fpreg}() call-backs (see
\Func{unw\_create\_addr\_space}(3)).

Plattsburgh Air Force Base is a former United States Air Force (USAF) Strategic Air Command (SAC) base covering 3,447 acres (13.7 km²) in the extreme northeast corner of New York, located on the western shore of Lake Champlain opposite Burlington, Vermont, in the town of Plattsburgh, New York.
The base closed on 25 September 1995, pursuant to the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1990 (10 U.S.C. Sec. 2687 note) and the recommendations of the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission. It is now a civilian airport and industrial complex, operated by the Plattsburgh Air Base Development Authority. The airfield is now known as Plattsburgh International Airport.
Geography
The former air base is bordered by the city of Plattsburgh and the Saranac River to the north and the Salmon River to the south. It lies on the western shore of Lake Champlain on the New York-Vermont border.
History
Military Presence Before the Base
Plattsburgh was the third oldest military post in the United States. The U.S. has maintained a military presence at the site of the now-closed base since 30 December 1814.
In particular:
On 30 December 1814, the Federal Government purchased 200 acres for the construction of the "Plattsburgh Barracks".
In 1838, additional parcels of land were acquired and stone barracks were built to house the personnel.
During the Civil War, Union troops organized and departed from the base.
During the Spanish–American War, the 21st Infantry was transferred from Plattsburgh Barracks to Cuba in June 1898. The troops returned to Plattsburgh in September 1898.
During the Interwar period, Plattsburgh Barracks was the home of the 26th Infantry Regiment of the "Iron first " division.
In 1944, it was turned over to the United States Navy and became "Camp MacDonough", an indoctrination school for officers.
After the World War II, from March 1946 to 1953, the base was used for college student housing for area colleges and extensions schools.
Plattsburgh Air Force Base (PAFB)
In 1953, the site returned to the Federal government and Plattsburgh Barracks were renamed Plattsburgh Air Force Base.
The USAF held a ground breaking ceremony for the new strategic base on 29 January 1954, and construction began immediately. The runway was completed and the first aircraft landed on 7 November 1955. However, operational facilities were not completed until 1956 due to several work-stoppages and severe winter weather.
Built during the Cold War, Plattsburgh AFB's runway is large enough to land the Space Shuttle. It was on a list of alternate landing sites for the Shuttle. Space Shuttle Columbia astronaut Michael P. Anderson, born at Plattsburgh AFB, was a USAF pilot at Plattsburgh AFB when he got selected by NASA in 1994.
Major commands to which the base was assigned:
Strategic Air Command, 1954 – 1 June 1992
Air Mobility Command, 1 June 1992 – 25 September 1995
Major units assigned
308th Bombardment Wing (Wing existed on paper, but was non-operational)

Missile operations
Plattsburgh Air Force Base was designated as one of four major Atlas launching systems in the U.S., the only ICBM missile system deployed east of the Mississippi River.
During the period 1961 and 1963, 12 Atlas-F missile sites were constructed within a 50-mile radius of the base, thus giving the 380th the capability to launch 12 missiles. All sites were in New York state, except for two located on the other side of Lake Champlain in Vermont. The 556th Strategic Missile Squadron, formerly assigned to Dow AFB, Maine, was transferred to Plattsburgh AFB on 1 October 1961, and became completely operational on 20 December 1962. It was inactivated on 25 June 1965.
BRACC 1991 and closure
During the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRACC) deliberations, PAFB wound up being pitted against Loring AFB in Limestone, Maine. The people of Maine put up a brief fight but, at the end, PAFB was spared.
Two years later, when BRACC reconvened for another round of closures, PAFB, along with McGuire AFB in New Jersey and Griffiss AFB in Rome, New York, were considered for closing. The local sentiment was that, again, PAFB will be spared mainly because the USAF had plans to transform the base to a major Strategic Air Command base for the Northeast, expanding to add more aircraft and personnel.
It was a hard battle. Rallies were held and a local leadership group, dubbed Team Plattsburgh, was put together to save the base. Testimonies were held, before several BRACC members, to keep PAFB open and give it the intended expansion. At the end, McGuire AFB won over PAFB.
Plattsburgh AFB was officially closed on 30 September 1995, as a result of the 1993 Defense Closure and Realignment actions. The closure ceremony took place on Sept.29, 1995.
Bombardier Transportation established a plant on the site. It has produced standard passenger cars, locomotives, hybrids, light rail cars and subway cars.
Current status
Plattsburgh Airbase Redevelopment Corporation (PARC), led by the nationally known planner, David Holmes, was created to manage the property. Holmes had overseen the redevelopment plan which included a mixed-use solution to overcome the economic shortfall that occurred when the military moved out. Uses included Aviation, Biotechnology, Industrial and Recreation. Ultimately, PARC split up the base into 165 parcels for redevelopment.
While community leaders feared in 1995, at the time of the actual closure, that the North Country's economy would collapse, this did not turn out to be the case; the base actually only accounted for $42 million in economic impact (about 8 percent of the local economy) because it was so isolated. It was anticipated that it would take 20 years to replace the impact. But in 1996, Dave Werlin of Great Northeast productions and PARC's Director of Planning, Nate Sears, devised a way to make up $30 million in 3 days.
On 16 and 17 August 1996, PARC hosted a massive music concert on the runway of the old decommissioned airbase by the band Phish. The concert, known as The Clifford Ball, was attended by 70,000 people and added $30 million to the local economy. The concert was the largest Rock Concert in North America in 1996 and drew attention from The New York Times, MTV and numerous news media world-wide. The concert was possible due to a coalition of entities, including the New York State Police, County Sheriff, City of Plattsburgh, CVPH Medical Center, the Clinton County Health Department and numerous other private and public organizations. Although Phish wanted to return, PARC's Board of Directors declined in a 6-1 vote and subsequent Phish concerts were held at the former Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine, where they generated $25 million and $40 million for the local community, respectively in 1997 and 1998.
As of 2016, PARC tenants on former airbase properties include:
Wood Group
Pratt & Whitney Industrial Turbine Services
Sikorsky
UPS Air Freight
FedEx Air Freight
PrimeLink
Gradient etc.
The site also hosts a number of specialty services on site, including acres of parks, trails and playing fields as well as an 18-hole golf course, a day care center and a gym.
On the original Military Reservation, on the shores of Lake Champlain, is the Old Base Museum Campus. There are five museums within 200 feet of each other – the Clinton County Historical Museum, the Air Force Base Museum, the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum, the Kids' Station Children's Museum and the War of 1812 Museum, all housed in former military buildings. Included on the Museum Campus are edifices built in the 1890s including Officers' Row, the old Headquarters Building and the old fire station. The historic district around the Oval parade ground saw General Leonard Wood's founding of the Plattsburg Idea, a training program started to prepare officers for duty in World War II. There is also a Memorial Chapel, the Clyde A. Lewis Air Park, and the Old Post Cemetery, in which a Spanish American War Medal of Honor recipient is buried. Two of the original structures built just after the War of 1812 are still on Campus – the Old Stone Barracks and the original powder magazine.
The USAF lists Plattsburgh among its BRAC "success stories."
The base's reuse and the circumstances surrounding it were chronicled in Flying High Again: PARC's Redevelopment of Plattsburgh Air Force Base, written by Marian Calabro and published by CorporateHistory.net in 2008.
Environmental problems
It is designated a military superfund site.
Historically, site contaminants originally included volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including trichloroethene (TCE), dichloroethene (DCE), and vinyl chloride, fuel-related compounds (mainly benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene), pesticides, various metals including chromium and cadmium, and lead and munitions waste from an old small arms range and an explosive-ordnance demolition range. As stated in other sections of this site profile, most of the formerly-contaminated areas have been cleaned up. In addition to groundwater contamination, other potential exposures included direct contact with and ingestion of contaminants found in soil. The only known remaining soil contamination at the former base is at the landfills, which have been capped and are fenced off.
Additional potential risk to human health exists due to soil vapor intrusion (SVI) into buildings by VOCs. However, this contaminant pathway has been extensively studied across the entire base, mainly in association with the FT-002 / Industrial Area Groundwater OU. Soil vapor extraction (SVE) systems were installed at 3 buildings in the industrial area of the base where concentrations of VOCs warranted mitigation and/or remediation. In addition, a large portion of the base is covered by a LUC/IC for SVI that requires either mitigation of risk or sampling and evaluation of risk prior to the construction of new buildings or modifications to or change in use of existing buildings. Any sampling and risk evaluations conducted would be reviewed by the Air Force and regulatory agencies, and continued monitoring or mitigation, as necessary, would be required. Affected property owners must also certify compliance annually with the Air Force, which also conducts annual LUC/IC inspections.

Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher (Joan of Arc at the Stake) is an oratorio by Arthur Honegger, originally commissioned by Ida Rubinstein. It was set to a libretto by Paul Claudel. The work lasts approximately 80 minutes.
It premiered on 12 May 1938 in Basel, with Rubinstein as Jeanne, and Jean Périer in the speaking role of Brother Dominique, with the Basel Boys Choir singing the children's chorus part, and Paul Sacher conducting.
The drama takes place during Joan of Arc's last minutes on the stake, with flashbacks to her trial and her younger days. Honegger called his work a "dramatic oratorio", adding speaking roles and actors. The work has an important part for the ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument, which was played at the premiere by its inventor Maurice Martenot.
Claudel's dramatic frame provided Honegger with a space – between heaven and earth, past and present – where he could mix styles from the popular to the sublime. A hybrid work: partly oratorio and partly opera, Honegger uses all his musical means, monody, harmony and counterpoint to build towards sculpted blocks of sound.
Performance history
At its première in Basel the piece was an immediate success, with critics almost unanimous in praising a perfect cohesion between words and music. On 6 May 1939, after rehearsals at the Salle Pleyel in Paris, the work was semi-staged with designs by Alexandre Benois at the Théâtre Municipal in Orléans conducted by Louis Fourestier.
The work was heard again in Basel on 12 May 1939 and then in Zürich on 14 May. On 13 June that year at the Palais de Chaillot, it was conducted by Charles Munch (who also gave the United States premiere in New York in 1948). After the outbreak of war the work was performed at the Salle Pleyel on 22 February 1940 and in Brussels on 29 February that year. Sacher and Rubinstein made abortive plans for further performances that year, including the Lucerne Festival. On 26 February 1947 Rubinstein organised a concert performance at the Palais des Fêtes in Strasbourg, conducted by Fritz Münch (brother of Charles), which was repeated the following year on 13 June 1948 in the presence of the composer. The work was first performed in Canada at the Montreal Festivals in 1953 under conductor Wilfrid Pelletier, and as a staged performance the following year at the Stoll Theatre in London, conducted by Leighton Lucas.
In December 1953 Roberto Rossellini directed a staged version of the oratorio in Italian translation at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples with Ingrid Bergman in the title role. It was subsequently performed at La Scala. Both performances received excellent reviews. Rossellini then staged it at the Paris Opera in the original French, again to critical success. He also filmed the San Carlo production in both French and Italian versions. The film was released in Italy in 1954 under the Italian title Giovanna d'Arco al rogo. It proved to be a box-office failure and the French version was never released.
The oratorio was part of the 1957/1958 New York Philharmonic season at Carnegie Hall (April, three performances, broadcast), with Felicia Montealegre Bernstein as Jeanne d'Arc, Adele Addison as the Virgin Mary, Leontyne Price as St Marguerite, Martial Singher as Brother Dominique, Frances Bible as St Catherine and Leonard Bernstein conducting.
Marion Cotillard has starred as Joan of Arc in live performances of the oratorio several times, first in 2005, in Orléans, France, with the Orléans Symphony Orchestra, directed by Jean-Pierre Loisil. In 2012 in Barcelona, Spain, with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra and National Orchestra of Catalonia, directed by Marc Soustrot. In June 2015, she performed the oratorio with the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall.
Recordings
The first recording was made in 1943 by French EMI, with the Belgian National Orchestra under , and featuring as Jeanne. In 1954 the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy recorded it for Philips Classics with Vera Zorina as Jeanne. Serge Baudo conducted the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra for Supraphon in 1977, featuring Nelly Borgeaud. The work had long been in the repertoire of Seiji Ozawa, whose live performance with the French National Orchestra and Marthe Keller, at the Basilica of Saint-Denis was released in 1991 (Deutsche Grammophon). More recent recordings include one of the 2012 Soustrot Barcelona performance with Marion Cotillard (2015, Alpha), and Stephane Deneve with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Judith Chemla (2018, RCO Live).

The Abbey Road Sessions is a 2011 studio album by Welsh musician Ian Shaw. It was released on 14 March 2011 by Splash Point Records.
Critical reception
In a review for The Guardian, jazz critic John Fordham wrote "Shaw is cool but never calculatingly crooner-hip. Perhaps he occasionally embroiders too much for lyrics lovers, and the band might have welcomed a few more hours together, but this is a fitting document for one of the UK's most honest and musical jazz vocalists." At JazzTimes, Christopher Loudon explained: "Shaw was positively fizzing with excitement. It must have also been the launch of his lushly arranged latest album The Abbey Road Sessions... he's in danger of becoming a national treasure."

In the context of the law of the Netherlands, the term gedogen (toleration, although gedogen does not literally mean toleration; one can describe it best as toleration in law) refers to not enforcing certain laws. The Dutch government tolerates some offences. Some things like possessing small amounts of cannabis are formally forbidden by law, but the Dutch government abstains from bringing criminal charges against the offenders. Often these policies are brought about by a tension between treaty obligations and domestic politics. See policies on cannabis and euthanasia for more information.
To give an example in layman's terms: a mother may tell her child he cannot have cookies from the cookie jar. The father, regardless of his beliefs, cannot tell the child it is okay to have a cookie as that would result in a conflict with the mother. If the father sees the child taking a cookie anyway, he may choose not to say anything. He may not want to punish or stop the child, but cannot condone the behavior either. The father may act as if nothing had happened to avoid a conflict with both his beliefs and the mother. He tolerates (Dutch "gedoogt") the behavior.
The statutes describe it as "The basis for the 'gedoog' policy is the consideration of interests in which the interest of law enforcement needs to yield to an identifiable greater cause. It is a positive decision not to pursue and prosecute regardless of available law enforcement capacity." (translated)

Celebrity Blackjack is an American television show where celebrities played tournament style blackjack for charity. The show, which ran on Game Show Network, was hosted by Matt Vasgersian (and Alex Borstein in the first season). Dave Stann was the dealer. Season 1 aired weekly from July 5, 2004, through August 9, 2004. Season 2 premiered October 12, 2004, and ran weekly through January 11, 2005.
Overview
Season 1
Five celebrities started each tournament with $100,000 in tournament chips and played 21 hands of blackjack. Minimum bets were $1,000 and maximum bets were $25,000 for the first ten hands. For hand 11-20, the minimum bet was $5,000 and there was no maximum bet. Double down for less is permitted. All bets throughout the tournament MUST be in $1,000 increments. A player cannot bet the remaining $500 which it would count as an all-in bet when the minimum bet is $5,000. However, a player may use the remaining $500 for the insurance. Insurance pays 2 to 1. Blackjack pays 3 to 2. The bets for the 21st and final hand were secret, with each player writing the bet out prior to the hand being played.
The deck included four jokers into the six decks they play with. Whatever a player is dealt with a joker card as one of the first 2 cards, a player will have a choice to replace any card on the table still in play once a player has received their first two cards (meaning, once a hand is stood on, it's no longer in-play). A player can also take the dealer's up card, if they wish.
Final table results
Caroline Rhea was the champion of Season 1, she won the title and $100,000 USD for her charities.
1 Billy Baldwin substituted for his wife, Chynna Phillips, who won her preliminary table.
Season 2
The play for the second season of Celebrity Blackjack was the same, with the following exceptions:
There were four celebrities per table instead of five.
The deck included six jokers instead of four into the six decks they play with when there's only four celebrities. Whatever a player is dealt with a joker card as one of the first 2 cards, a player will have a choice to replace any card on the table still in play once a player has received their first two cards (meaning, once a hand is stood on, it's no longer in-play). A player can also take the dealer's up card, if they wish.
The tournament featured ten preliminary rounds, two semi-final rounds, and a final table. Each preliminary table had four celebrities and each semi-final table had five players that won their preliminary round. The top two finishers from each of the two five-person semis round will move on to the Final table for a chance at winning an additional $200,000 for their charity.
The winner of the preliminary round will receive $25,000 for their charity and move on to the semis round. For the Semis Round, the top two finishers (meaning first place will win an additional $75,000 and second place will win an additional $50,000) will move on to the Final table. For the final table, first place will win an additional $200,000, second place will win additional $50,000, and the last two ... they still have at least $50,000 to give from the preliminaries and the semis.
The five card charlie was in effect. If a player has five cards without going over 21, he or she would automatically won the hand.
Final table results
Jason Alexander was the champion of Season 2, he won the title and $300,000 USD for his charity.
1 Jeff Probst filled in for Shannon Elizabeth, who won her preliminary table.

The Hunterston Brooch is a highly important Celtic brooch of "pseudo-penannular" type found near Hunterston, North Ayrshire, Scotland, in either, according to one account, 1826 by two men from West Kilbride, who were digging drains at the foot of Goldenberry Hill, or in 1830. It is now in the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh. Made within a few decades of 700 AD, the Hunterston Brooch is cast in silver, gilt, and set with pieces of amber (most now missing), and decorated with interlaced animal bodies in gold filigree. The diameter of the ring is 12.2 cm, and in its centre there is a cross and a golden glory representing the risen Christ, surrounded by tiny bird heads. The pin, which is broken, can travel freely around the ring as far as the terminals, which was necessary for fastening; it is now 13.1 cm long, but was probably originally 15 cm or more.
The back of the brooch has a scratched inscription in runes in the Old Norse language, probably 10th century, "Melbrigda owns this brooch"; Maél Brigda, "devotee of Bridgit" is a common Gaelic female name, though seen as male by other sources. Much later ownership inscriptions are not uncommon on elaborate Celtic brooches, often from Norse-Gael contexts. The Hunterston Brooch is clearly an object of very high status, indicating the power and great prestige of its owner. With the Tara Brooch in Dublin and the Londesborough Brooch in the British Museum, it is considered one of the finest of over 50 highly elaborate surviving Irish Celtic brooches, and "arguably the earliest of the ornate penannular brooches from Britain and Ireland".
Possible origin
The Hunterston brooch may have been made at a royal site, such as Dunadd in Argyll, though is more likely to have been made in Ireland, especially as its pseudo-penannular form is typical of Irish brooches, whereas the truly penannular form remained usual in Pictish brooches. On the other hand, its style is closely comparable to a terminal fragment of a penannular brooch found in Dunbeath in 1860 which probably was made in Scotland; craftsmen may have travelled across the area using the locally popular forms. Lloyd and Jennifer Laing feel it was probably made in Dalriada, and the Museum of Scotland say "The style of the brooch has Irish parallels, while the filigree resembles metalwork from England. The brooch was probably made in western Scotland where the two traditions were joined, or perhaps in Ireland by a craftsman trained in foreign techniques."
Construction
The brooch has a complex construction typical of the most elaborate Irish brooches. Panels of filigree work were created separately on gold trays, which were then fitted into the main silver-gilt body. On the reverse four panels of silver-gilt were also inserted; as in other examples like the Tara Brooch the decoration on the reverse uses older curvilinear "Celtic" motifs looking back to La Tène style Insular Celtic decoration, though on the Hunterston Brooch such motifs also appear on the front. The brooch was worn by rulers or gifted from the ruler to people of importance. The Hunterston brooch showed power and wealth in the Viking age.

The Church of Christ with the Elijah Message is the name of three related church groups and a denomination of the Latter Day Saint movement, headquartered in Independence, Missouri. It split from the Church of Christ (informally referred to as the "Fettingites") in 1943 in a dispute over claimed revelations given to its founder William A. Draves. Draves, an elder in the Fettingite group, claimed to be receiving messages from an angelic being who identified himself as John the Baptist—the same person who had allegedly appeared to Fettingite founder Otto Fetting, a former apostle of the Temple Lot Church of Christ. While many Fettingites accepted these new missives, some did not, leading Draves to form his own church. His adherents claim it to be the sole legitimate continuation of Fetting's organization, as well as that of the Temple Lot church. As of 1987, the church had approximately 12,500 adherents spread between Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas.
Origin of name
The church's name originates in the alleged visitations of John the Baptist to Otto Fetting and William Draves. In the Gospel of Matthew 11:14, Jesus Christ identifies John with the prophet Elijah in the Book of Malachi; hence the use of "Elijah Message". Malachi 4:5-6 says: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And He shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the land with a curse". Members believe that the purported visits of this "messenger" fulfill Malachi's prophecy, as well as others found in Revelation 14:6, Malachi 3:1, Deuteronomy 18:15-19, and Daniel 7:9-10.
History
Otto Fetting
Otto Fetting was born on 20 November 1871 in Casco, St. Clair County, Michigan. Making his home in Port Huron, Michigan, he was baptised into the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on February 9, 1891, and ordained to its priesthood in 1899. In 1925, dismayed by the "Supreme Directional Control" controversy within the RLDS church, Fetting switched his allegiance to the Temple Lot Church of Christ (also informally known as "Hedrickites"). At the time, this did not require rebaptism or reordination, as each group accepted the priesthood and sacraments of the other. In the spring of 1926, he was among seven men ordained to be Apostles in the Church of Christ.
On February 4 of 1927, Otto Fetting claimed that he had been visited by John the Baptist, who had delivered a message for him to relay to the Temple Lot organization. This missive directed the construction of the long-awaited Temple in Independence, Missouri, first foretold by Latter Day Saint founder Joseph Smith in 1831. The Temple Lot church had a long history of direction via revelation and angelic visits and thus was originally receptive to these alleged visits of the Biblical prophet, publishing Fetting's messages in their monthly periodical Zion's Advocate. They also began work on the temple with a groundbreaking ceremony held on 6 April 1929. According to Fetting, the Hedrickites were given seven years to complete the structure.
Fetting's messenger revealed various architectural details for the building and specifically directed surveyors to move their markers ten feet to the east of where they had originally been placed. The angel also revealed the location of two of Joseph Smith's original marker stones, which Smith had buried 98 years before to indicate the location for his planned temple. Another revelation indicated that the "Articles of Faith and Practice" of the Temple Lot church were correct, and should not be changed from their original form. On other occasions, the messenger indicated particular men to be ordained within the organization, including to its Quorum of Twelve Apostles.
Trouble on the Temple Lot
Although the Temple Lot organization had enthusiastically accepted the first eleven of Fetting's messages, this would not hold true for the twelfth. In verse four of this missive, John the Baptist states that all persons coming into the Church of Christ must be rebaptized, as "the Lord has rejected all creeds and factions of men". While this reflects the practice of the majority of Latter Day Saint denominations (including the Temple Lot church itself, today), it did not reflect the policy of the Temple Lot church at the time, which accepted members during this period from the Reorganized church, certain other Latter Day Saint organizations, and Joseph Smith's pre-1844 church on their original baptisms. This message equally declared Fetting to have been given the same "keys to the priesthood" that were given to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery on May 15, 1829.
Controversy over the meaning and application of Fetting's twelfth message became so great that Fetting himself was "silenced" in October 1929 by the Temple Lot organization. Choosing to withdraw rather than continue under such a restriction, Fetting led approximately half of the Church of Christ members (including some of its apostles) to found a "Church of Christ" of his own, which became known as the Church of Christ (Fettingite). Since the main Temple Lot organization retained possession of the Temple Lot and its meetinghouse, Fetting's organization met in members' homes for a considerable period prior to building their own worship facilities.
Fetting would claim to be visited a total of 30 times by the messenger prior to his death on 30 January 1933.
William A. Draves
Four years after Fetting's death, a young Fettingite elder named William A. Draves from Nucla, Colorado claimed that the same messenger who had appeared to Fetting had begun to appear to him, as well. While the Fettingite organization was initially receptive to these new missives, it ultimately decided to reject them all, leading to a split in the Fettingite organization in 1943. Draves' adherents formed the Church of Christ with the Elijah Message, which claims to be the sole legitimate continuance of Fetting's original organization. Draves himself announced a total of 90 messages prior to his death in 1994, which were combined with Fetting's into a book entitled The Word of the Lord Brought to Mankind by an Angel. Fetting's organization publishes its own compendium, simply entitled The Word of the Lord, which contains only Fetting's original 30 messages.
Prior to W.A. Draves's death in 1994 the final three messages he had recorded reflected leadership disputes within The Church of Christ with the Elijah Message. These led to a division causing Apostles W.A. Draves, Leonard Draves and Mervyn Johnson to be blocked from church property by way of a restraining order. After a short legal battle, a failure to reconcile, and the death of W.A. Draves, six of the twelve leading Apostles decided to reincorporate the Church under the name The Church of Christ with the Elijah Message, Inc. in August 1994. This new organization would go on to become the Church of Christ With the Elijah Message, The Assured Way of the Lord, Inc. The remaining five Apostles, including those who filed the above restraining order, retained the corporate name "The Church of Christ with the Elijah Message, Established Anew 1929" and all properties including the headquarters building at 608 Lacy Rd. Independence, Missouri.
Doctrine and practices
Other than their acceptance of Fetting's 30 messages and the 90 offered by William Draves, the beliefs and practices of the Elijah Message organization are virtually identical to those of the Church of Christ (Temple Lot). In common with the Temple Lot church, the Elijah Message church rejects the office of President of the Church, being led instead by their Quorum of Twelve Apostles; all members of that quorum are considered equal.
Also, like their Temple Lot cousins, the church rejects the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price, as well as Joseph Smith's Inspired Version of the Bible, preferring to use only the King James Bible and the Record of the Nephites (their name for the Book of Mormon) as standards. They also await an as-yet-unrevealed work of scripture which the Messenger was alleged to have shown to Draves in 1946. Baptism for the Dead, eternal marriage, polygamy and the eternal progression doctrine are all rejected. Members of the Church of Christ with the Elijah Message still believe that a temple will be reared on the Temple Lot, but it will not be like any of the LDS or Community of Christ temples currently in use.
In verse 6 of his twelfth message, Otto Fetting quoted John the Baptist as saying that Joseph Smith had indeed been a true prophet, but that he "sinned before God" due to "pride, and the love and praise of men". "Much of his work has been destroyed", wrote Fetting, "but he will be saved as by fire, and will be numbered with the prophets of old". Accordingly, the Elijah Message church respects Joseph Smith as a prophet but does not necessarily accept all of his teachings. In verse 1 of his first message, Fetting's heavenly envoy commanded that the "Articles of Faith and Practice" of the Temple Lot organization (of which Fetting was then still an apostle) were to remain unchanged, "because the Lord inspired the men that wrote them". Hence, these remain the same in the Elijah Message organization, as well as within all Fettingite sects.

Curt Lowens (17 November 1925 – 8 May 2017) was a German actor of the stage and in feature films and television, as well as a Holocaust survivor and a rescuer who saved about 150 Jewish children during the Holocaust.
Life and career
Born Curt Löwenstein in the East Prussian town of Allenstein (now Olsztyn, Poland), his father was a respected lawyer, and his mother was active with several local Jewish community organizations. His father's career declined due to loss of clients after the Nazis' takeover of Germany, so the family moved to Berlin hoping that the city's large Jewish community could provide more protection. Young Curt continued to receive an education and to prepare for his bar mitzvah under the guidance of Rabbi Manfred Swarsensky of the Fasanenstrasse Synagogue. After the violence of Kristallnacht (also known as the November Pogrom) in November 1938, the Nazis closed his school. In early 1939, Lowens received his bar mitzvah in a school auditorium with 34 other youths.
Lowens' older brother Heinz successfully emigrated to Britain a few months before the start of World War II. Curt and his parents planned to emigrate to the United States via the neutral Netherlands in early 1940. While waiting to depart from Rotterdam, however, the Germans invaded the Netherlands on the intended day of their departure. During the first two years of the German occupation, Curt's father worked at a desk job for the Jewish Council in Amsterdam, which initially saved the family from deportation to Auschwitz. Nonetheless, Curt and his mother were rounded up, unexpectedly, and deported to Westerbork in June 1943, but they were released through his father's connections.
The family subsequently went into hiding, each separately since individuals were more readily placed in homes of rescuers. Curt took on the false identity of "Ben Joosten". He managed to visit his mother when she, also under a false name, was treated at a hospital run by Catholic nuns; she died in January 1944. Curt, meanwhile, had become active in a network of Dutch rescuers, including and , aiding Jewish children in hiding. By war's end, some 150 Jewish children were rescued by this group alone. Curt Lowens also aided two downed American Army Air Corps flyers, for which he later received a commendation from General Dwight D. Eisenhower. After liberation, he joined the British Eighth Corps as an interpreter, aiding the British in their house arrest of the remaining Nazi leaders in Flensburg, Germany in mid-May 1945.
In 1947, Curt, his father, and step-mother emmigrated to the United States. Under the name Curt Lowens, he trained to become an actor, studying at the Herbert Berghof Studio in New York. He appeared in over 100 films and TV shows since 1960. Lowens died on 8 May 2017 at the age of 91 in Beverly Hills.

Barrie Nelson (1933 - 2021) was a Canadian animator. He was most noted as the director of the 1971 animated short film Propaganda Message, and the "B-17" segment of the 1981 animated anthology film Heavy Metal.
Early life and career
A native of Winnipeg, he studied fine art at the University of Manitoba. He worked for Canadian animation studios for a number of years before moving to Hollywood, where he joined John Hubley's studio and was one of the animators of the Academy Award-winning A Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Double Feature. He had a number of other animation credits, both with Hubley and on various animated television series, before making Propaganda Message for the National Film Board of Canada in 1971; the film won a gold award at the first USA International Animation Film Festival in New York City in 1972.
Films
He also later made the short film Ten: The Magic Number, about the adoption of the metric system in Canada, for the NFB. In the United States he continued to work on animated films and television series, and made at least four short films that were submitted for Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film consideration: Keep Cool (1971), Twins (1974), Opens Wednesday (1980), and You Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks (1984).

The Lucky Man Cree Nation ( papêwê) is a Cree First Nation in Saskatchewan, Canada. After spending more than a hundred years illegally associated by Canada with the Little Pine First Nation, the band was awarded the Lucky Man Reserve, on the eastern border of the RM of Meeting Lake. The re-established nation has the smallest membership in Treaty 6.
History
The nation is named for Chief Papaway, ᐸᐯᐍ papewê meaning "lucky man", headman for Little Pine when that group signed Treaty 6 at Fort Walsh in 1879. Settling near Battleford in 1883, he requested a reserve adjacent to Poundmaker, Little Pine, and Big Bear the following year. The government refused, on the grounds that the groups were too closely associated.
By 1919, the Lucky Man band had dwindled to a population of nine, living on the Little Pine reserve. In the 1970s, modern research by the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations discovered that Lucky Man had signed Treaty 6 without receiving any land. This allowed the band's descendants to reorganize, in 1976, and file for treaty land entitlement.
Newly elected Chief Rod King petitioned all levels of government for a suitable reserve site, and in 1989 - more than 100 years after Lucky Man signed Treaty 6 - the band was awarded the Mayfair provincial pasture, consisting of 12 sections in the Thickwood Hills. Although few members reside there, numerous business ventures have been investigated for the land.

The Colditz Cock was a glider built by British prisoners of war during World War II for an escape attempt from Oflag IV-C (Colditz Castle) prison camp in Germany.
Background
After the execution of 50 prisoners who had taken part in the "Great Escape" from Stalag Luft III, the Allied High Command had discouraged escape attempts, though the plan to build a glider was encouraged in order to divert the energies of the prisoners from descending into boredom and tedium.
The idea for the glider came from Lieutenant Tony Rolt. Rolt, who was not even an airman, had noticed the chapel roof line was completely obscured from the German guards' view. He realised that the roof would make a perfect launching point from which the glider could fly across the River Mulde, which was about 60 metres below.
Construction
The team was headed by Bill Goldfinch and Jack Best. Goldfinch and Best were aided by their discovery in the prison library of Aircraft Design, a two-volume work by C.H. Latimer-Needham which explained the necessary physics and engineering and included a detailed diagram of a wing section. The glider was assembled by Goldfinch and Best and 12 assistants known as "apostles", in the lower attic above the chapel. Future RAF Air commodore Geoffrey D. Stephenson assisted in the project. The 60 ft long runway was to be constructed from tables and the glider was to be launched using a pulley system based on a falling metal bathtub full of concrete, using a gravity-assisted acceleration to 30 mph (50 km/h).
The officers who took part in the project built a false wall to hide the secret space in the attic where they slowly built the glider from stolen pieces of wood. Since the Germans were accustomed to looking down for tunnels, not up for secret workshops, the officers felt quite safe from detection. Nevertheless, they placed many lookouts and created an electric alarm system to warn the builders of approaching guards.
Over thirty ribs had to be constructed (around a third being structural compression ribs), predominantly formed from bed slats, but also from every other piece of wood the POWs could surreptitiously obtain. The wing spars were constructed from floor boards. Control wires were made from electrical wiring in unused portions of the castle. A glider expert, Lorne Welch, was asked to review the stress diagrams and calculations made by Goldfinch.
The glider constructed was a lightweight, two-seater, high wing, monoplane design. It had a Mooney-style rudder and square elevators. The wingspan, tip to tip, was 32 ft (9.75 m), and it was 19 ft 9 in (6 m) from nose to tail. Prison sleeping bags of blue and white checked cotton were used to skin the glider, and German ration millet was boiled and used as a form of dope to seal the cloth pores. The completed glider weighed 240 lb (109 kg).
The take-off was scheduled for the spring of 1945 during an air raid blackout but by then the Allied guns could be heard and the war's outcome was fairly certain. The British escape officer decided that the glider should be available for use in case the SS ordered the massacre of the prisoners as a way to get a message out to approaching American troops. The glider was approaching completion when the American Army liberated the prisoners on 16 April 1945.
Although the Colditz Cock never flew in real life, the concept was fictionalized, depicting a successful flight and escape, in the 1971 TV film The Birdmen starring Doug McClure, Chuck Connors, René Auberjonois and Richard Basehart. One episode of the BBC TV series Colditz depicts the decision to build a glider as an escape attempt. It is also depicted in the final escape from Colditz Castle in the fictional story depicted in the 2002 video game Prisoner of War.
The fate of the glider is not known, but the castle was in the zone controlled by the Soviets, who did not co-operate with its reclamation. The only evidence of its completion was a photograph, said to have been taken by an American soldier. However, Goldfinch had kept his drawings, which enabled a one-third scale model to be constructed. This was eventually launched from the castle roof in 1993.
A set of plans for the glider are in the collection of the Imperial War Museum.
Modern replica
A flyable expanded polystyrene model of the glider was produced by the model kit manufacturer Airfix in its Skycraft range in the 1970s.
In 1999, a full-sized replica of the Colditz glider was commissioned by Channel 4 and was built by Southdown Aviation Ltd at Lasham Airfield. The glider was test flown successfully in 2000 by John Lee on its first attempt at RAF Odiham with Best, Goldfinch and about a dozen of the veterans who had worked on the original more than 55 years earlier proudly looking on. Jack Best died later that year. The replica is now housed on loan at the Gliding Heritage Centre.
The programme was shown in 2000 by Channel 4 in the UK as part of a 3-part documentary series called "Escape from Colditz". The Channel 4 material was edited to 60 minutes and shown in the US in 2001 as "Nazi Prison Escape" on the Nova television series.
In March 2012, a radio-controlled, full-sized replica glider was built by Tony Hoskins' UK based glider maintenance/repair company South East Aircraft Services in the Chapel attic and was flown from Colditz for a Channel 4 documentary and launched it (unmanned) from the same roof as had been planned for the original. The radio-controlled replica made it safely across the river and landed in a meadow 180 metres below. The documentary aired in North America on PBS under the title "Escape from Nazi Alcatraz" on 14 May 2014. The glider built for this 2012 documentary now forms part of a new museum display in the Chapel Attic in Colditz castle, and opened to the public on the 70th Anniversary of the Liberation of Colditz in April 2015.
The book Flight from Colditz by Tony Hoskins was published by Pen & Sword in the UK in April 2016. It tells not only the story of the original example built by the prisoners, but also details the other replicas built and on display.

The New York City Breakers, also referred to as NYC Breakers or NYCB, are a pioneering B-boy group from The Bronx formed in the early 1980's by Michael Holman. The group originally consisted of members from Wildstyle and "Floor Master Crew"
History
The New York City Breakers are a Breaking crew originally known as the Floor Masters formed by Michael Holman in the early 1980's. Holman was inspired by a battle between the Rock Steady Crew and The Dynamic Rockers at the Lincoln Center. The original members were: "Action" (Chino Lopez), "Kid Nice" (Noel Manguel), "Glide Master" (Matthew Caban), "Lil Lep" (Ray Ramos), "Mr. Wave" (Tony Droughan), "Icey Ice" (Cory Montalvo), "Powerful Pexter" (Tony Lopez) and Flip Rock (Bobby Potts). Their first real exposure came in 1982, with an offer to battle Rock Steady Crew; in NYC at a club called Negril.
Their first performance was on the nationally televised talk show The Merv Griffin Show in 1983. Soon after, the NYCBs began appearing in live performances with Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five in Boston. They were featured in the 1984 film Beat Street where they battled the Rock Steady Crew and appeared on the first hip-hop television show Graffiti Rock, created by Holman. They also made appearances on various other television programs such on Ripley's Believe It or Not!, NBC's TV Special The Stars Salute the U.S. Olympic Teams, CBS Evening News and P.M. Magazine and the film Sixteen Candles.
The New York City Breakers also became the first B-boys to release an instructional video and album (Break-Master) which went gold and broke down steps on how to hold a competition. They performed in Washington D.C for sitting President Ronald Reagan, during 1983 at the Kennedy Center Honors. Photos of NYCB and Ronald Reagan were included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "Roots, Rhymes & Rage:The Hip-Hop Story" exhibit.
