Lithraea caustica (commonly known as the litre tree, and historically as llithi or liti) is a species of flowering plants in the soapberry family Anacardiaceae. This plant is endemic to central Chile; an example occurrence is in the area of La Campana National Park and Cerro La Campana. The tree is a well known allergenic and can cause a rash of the skin, the effects and susceptibility of which can vary greatly from person to person. Description Litre is evergreen, with oval leaves with a smooth or undulating border. It can grow to be a full tree when undisturbed; the(litreol), an urushiol similar in structure to the allergens from poison oak and poison ivy. Metabolism Lithraea caustica has been studied for diurnal variation in photosynthetic function in various seasons. In early summer the photosynthetic peak occurs relatively soon in the morning and declines steadily the remainder of the day; whereas, in late summer there is a morning peak, midday low and a late afternoon peak. Ecology Litre grows in matorral climates (i.e., areas with similar climates to the southern Mediterranean); its range in Central Chile is the broadest of any matorral shrub in the region. It has been foundto increase in abundance in response to grazing. The plant propagates through the dispersal of seedlings. Instrumental in this dispersal are both birds (Turdus falklandii, Mimus thenca, Phytotoma rara) and foxes (Pseudalopex spp.) It is drought resistant, due to its deep and extensive root system. Probably due to its toxicity, litre is one of the least disturbed plants in its habitats. The plant and its surrounding soil have been found to be home to 29 families, 57 genera and 69 species of beetles. Scientific History Litre has been described in the scientific literature since at least the early 18th century.

2747 Český Krumlov (), provisional designation , is a carbonaceous asteroid and slow rotator from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 22 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Czech astronomer Antonín Mrkos at Kleť Observatory on 19 February 1980, and named for the Czech town of Český Krumlov. Orbit and classification Český Krumlov belongs to the Hygiea family. It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.7–3.5 AU once every 5 years and 5 months (1,991 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 6° with respect to theecliptic. It was first identified as at Almaty Observatory () in 1953. The body's observation arc begins four weeks later with a precovery taken at Palomar Observatory, 27 years prior to its official discovery observation at Klet Observatory. Physical characteristics Český Krumlov has been characterized as a X-type and carbonaceous C-type asteroid. Slow rotator In October 2010, a rotational lightcurve of Český Krumlov was obtained from photometric observations by astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in California. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 438.7098 hours with a brightness variation of 0.63 magnitude (). This makes it a very slowrotator. Diameter and albedo According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite, and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Český Krumlov measures between 22.51 and 36.33 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.028 and 0.06. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 20.62 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.16. Naming This minor planet was named after the historic Czech town of Český Krumlov, near to the location of the discovering Kleť

The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro (ICM) is an Islamic community organization located in the town of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States. Established in the early 1980s, the ICM supports about a thousand congregants, drawn from local permanent residents and numerous students at Middle Tennessee State University. Since the late 20th century, an increasing number of Muslim immigrants from Somalia and Iraq have settled in the city, and international students have increased. By 2009, the ICM's growth made the existing mosque and community center in central Murfreesboro inadequate for the number of worshippers using those facilities. The ICM bought a vacant loton the outskirts of the city and submitted plans to build a new community center and mosque on the site. Although the plans were approved unanimously by the local county planning commission, some local residents and anti-Islamic activists opposed the project. Rival demonstrations were held in the town to express support for and opposition to the mosque project. During the following two years, the mosque site was subjected to vandalism and arson. The ICM became the subject of heightened political rhetoric in an election year. Numerous opponents alleged that the ICM would support terrorism, that Islam was not a religion,August 2012, a US federal court lifted the county court's prohibition, saying it was inappropriate to subject the ICM to requirements in excess of other religious organizations. The mosque was allowed to open in time for the end of Ramadan in 2012. Further appeals and new lawsuits by the mosque's opponents prolonged the litigation until June 2014, when the last lawsuits were finally dismissed by the federal courts. Background Murfreesboro is a town of about 100,000 people located in Middle Tennessee about 30 miles south of the state capital, Nashville. Although the area's population is dominated by white conservative Christians,in recent years the foreign-born population of the Nashville metropolitan area (including Murfreesboro) has grown considerably. Between 2000 and 2008, the immigrant population jumped from 58,539 to 107,184 – an 83.1 percent rise, the fourth-largest percentage increase in the United States over that period. At the same time, the white population of the area fell by 7.5% while the percentage of ethnic minority inhabitants rose to 20% of Rutherford County's population. The local Muslim population has likewise increased and now numbers about 25,000 people. The rise since the late 20th century has resulted in part from the arrival of refugeesfrom Somalia and Kurds from Iraq, who were resettled there by the federal government upon fleeing the repression of Saddam Hussein after the first Gulf War. Middle Tennessee now has the largest population of Iraqi Kurds in the United States. In addition, a significant number of foreign-born Muslims have moved to the area to study at Vanderbilt University or Middle Tennessee State University. Established in 1982, the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro (ICM) formerly occupied a building of located on Middle Tennessee Boulevard near Middle Tennessee State University. Its congregation consists of about 250-300 local families and 400-500 Muslim students fromthe university – in total, about 1,000 people. By 2009, the congregation had outgrown the space available. Prayers were held in a poorly ventilated room while women, who worship separately from men, had to use a converted garage nearby to watch the proceedings on closed-circuit TV. Many worshippers frequently had to stand in the parking lot during prayers. The ICM began looking for a new location in March 2009. Members raised about $600,000 to fund the construction of a new complex that would include a mosque, school, swimming pool, and cemetery. In November 2009, the ICM purchased an area ofmosque would have a harmful effect on traffic and housing values, noting that it was located in a primarily residential area. Commission officials rejected the criticism, stating that the plans met zoning requirements and that the law did not allow them to reject a project on religious grounds. The tenor of the opposition attracted criticism, with some residents calling the dispute "one of the ugliest displays of religious intolerance in the county's history." Rabbi Rami Shapiro of Middle Tennessee State University blamed misinformation and misplaced fears, commenting that "there are some who are just anti-Muslim and will do anything tokeep a mosque out of their neighborhood. They really feel that Islam is a threat to America and American values." Essam Fathy, an ICM member, said: "We have nothing to hide. We do not have a hidden agenda. We're not affiliated with anyone. Where is the tolerance?" The mosque's imam, Ossama Bahloul, said that he had told a child that the hatred faced by the center was "just a misunderstanding, miscommunication. I told him to love the people because one day they can love you, too." The controversy gained national attention when Lou Ann Zelenik, a Tennessee Republican Party candidatefor the vacant representative's seat in Tennessee's 6th congressional district, issued a statement in opposition. On June 24, 2010, Zelenik denounced the planned mosque as "an Islamic training center," saying that it was not a bona fide religious institution but a political one "designed to fracture the moral and political foundation of Middle Tennessee". She declared: "Until the American Muslim community find it in their hearts to separate themselves from their evil, radical counterparts, to condemn those who want to destroy our civilization and will fight against them, we are not obligated to open our society to any of them."Ben Lemming, a Democratic candidate for the same seat, was one of the few Tennessee politicians to support the mosque project, stating: "The Americans that want to build this mosque are already our neighbors. They live next to us and they are a part of our community. They are not the enemy." Another Republican, Ron Ramsey, the Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee, questioned whether Islam is "actually a religion, or is it a nationality, way of life, cult or whatever you want to call it" and described it as resembling "a violent political philosophy more than [a] peace-loving religion." His comments,such an organization. The law was passed, but the state legislature took out direct references to Sharia and Islam. Hedy Weinburg of the American Civil Liberties Union's Tennessee branch views the controversy as part of a trend; she told The American Prospect that "[y]ou don't have to dig too deep to see and hear the very rampant xenophobia and anti-Muslim voices." In mid-July 2010, supporters and opponents of the mosque organized rival marches to the Rutherford County courthouse. Around 800 people turned up, with about the same number on either side. Middle Tennesseans for Religious Freedom promoted slogans such as"Freedom of religion means freedom for all religions", while opponents circulated a petition asking the planning commission to overturn its decision and expressed concerns that the mosque's members wanted to impose Islamic law. The mosque's opponents wore "Vote for Jesus" T-shirts, carried signs with slogans such as "Keep Tennessee Terror Free", chanted "USA! USA!", conducted Christian group prayers and heard anti-mosque pastor Dusty Ray of the Heartland Baptist Church telling them, "Lord, we're trying to stop a political movement." Televangelist Pat Robertson weighed in during August 2010, telling his TV audience, "You mark my word, if they start bringing thousands1929 another faith group which was controversial at the time had faced opposition, led by the Ku Klux Klan, to its establishment in Murfreesboro. The building of the Roman Catholic church of St. Rose of Lima had prompted a march by angry residents to the town courthouse to highlight their fears that the project would endanger their security and way of life, amid claims that "suspicious outsiders" were funding it. The church was built to serve recently arrived Irish, German and Italian immigrants. The newspaper highlighted four factors driving the opposition to the mosque: a dislike of immigrants, a fearrespect for anyone's religious preferences and their rights to practice those in the United States." Republican Sue Myrick, a North Carolina member of the United States House of Representatives, called the attack "un-American". Two days after the fire, 150 local residents attended a candle-lit vigil on the steps of the Rutherford County Courthouse to protest the arson attack. Many Christians, some of whom had sons fighting in Afghanistan, sent messages of support to the ICM which posted them on a "wall of support" in its existing building. One local resident said that the planned mosque didn't "bother me because everybodyhas a right to practise their religion. They've been here, they're quiet. They haven't bothered anybody." The planning commission's September 16, 2010 meeting was dominated by supporters of the mosque, who said that they represented the majority opinion in Murfreesboro and expressed concern that the controversy was hurting the town. Ernest Burgess, the Republican mayor of Murfreesboro and an elder at the North Boulevard Church of Christ, argued that it was a matter of principle to uphold the constitutions of the United States and the state of Tennessee. But the following day, several opponents of the ICM filed a lawsuitagainst the county to block the mosque's construction. The litigation was spearheaded by lobbyist Laurie Cardoza-Moore, who demanded that the Rutherford County sheriff investigate a supposed conspiracy linking the mosque with Islamic militants in Somalia and Gaza. She said to a Christian television station that the mosque was part of a plot to take over Middle Tennessee. Cardoza-Moore led a group called Proclaiming Justice To The Nation (PJTN), which funded the lawsuit via donations. Some of the donors were called as witnesses in the hearing. One witness admitted that PJTN had paid him thousands of dollars to read to thecourt extracts from anti-Muslim Internet websites. Kevin Fisher, an anti-mosque activist who had led the July protest march, was one of the three plaintiffs. He claimed that the planning commission had improperly rushed the application process in an attempt to avoid a panic among the local population, a claim dismissed by the director of the commission. He had walked out of the planning commission's meeting the previous day, telling the Murfreesboro Post newspaper, "All I heard was this socialist garbage being spewed by the pro-mosque crowd. It was too much. The things that they represent offend me." The plaintiffs askedpractices of sharia law." The Anti-Defamation League intervened in the case, Estes v. Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission, to support the mosque on the grounds that the plaintiffs were seeking to interfere with the builders' religious freedoms. The ADL's amicus brief pointed out that the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) requires courts to "apply a strict standard for reviewing laws that substantially burden religious exercise." The United States Department of Justice also submitted an amicus brief to support the county's position. As well as reiterating the requirements of RLUIPA, the Justice Department's brief affirmed that Islam wasprotected under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and emphasized that mosques should be treated no differently from churches or synagogues. The local U.S. Attorney, Jerry Martin, commented that the suggestion by the plaintiffs that Islam was not a religion was "quite simply ridiculous." He told a press conference that "[a]ll three branches of government have repeatedly recognized Islam as a religion. Presidents, as far back as Lincoln and Jefferson and as recent as President George W. Bush, have, indeed, publicly recognized Islam as one of the world's largest religions." The plaintiffs' lawyer spent six days trying toconvince the court that Islam should not be considered a religion and that the mosque was not entitled to religious land use zoning regulations "because these are the same people who flew jets into the World Trade Center on 9/11." The lawyer, Joe Brandon Jr, called a series of non-expert witnesses, including anti-Islam activist Frank Gaffney, accused the ICM of being linked to terrorism, and claimed that its members wanted to impose Sharia law on the United States. The proceedings were criticized by the county's attorney as a "circus". The media compared the case to the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial,at which evolution was effectively put on trial, while Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts characterized the mosque's opponents as a "clownish band of bigots". On November 17, 2010 Rutherford County Chancellor Robert Corlew refused to halt construction, and found that the county had not "acted illegally, arbitrarily or capriciously" in approving the plans. He said that there were some legitimate concerns about the county's public notice requirements and suggested that they should be reviewed, but found that the ICM's members did not adhere to extremist religious ideas. In his ruling, he dismissed the plaintiffs' claims that "Kevin Fisher, an AfricanAmerican Christian, would be subject to being a second-class citizen under Sharia law; Lisa Moore would be targeted for death under Sharia law because she's a Jewish female; Henry Golzynski has been harmed because he lost a son fighting in Fallujah, Iraq, by insurgents pursuing jihad as dictated by Sharia law." Controversy over the mosque continued despite the failure of the lawsuit. In July 2011, Herman Cain, a former pizza tycoon and candidate for the 2012 U.S. Republican Party presidential nomination, told Fox News that communities, including the residents of Murfreesboro, should have the right to block mosques being builtin their areas. He said that the Murfreesboro project was "not a mosque for religious purposes". His remarks were strongly criticized by commentators. Stephen Fotopulos of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition said Cain's comments "demonstrate[d] a profound misunderstanding of the U.S. Constitution." The ICM's imam Ossama Bahloul said it was "sad to hear these words coming from a GOP presidential candidate, who is not only supposed to believe in but should also uphold the US constitution. Mr. Cain is encouraged to educate himself about the first amendment and learn more about our peaceful and productive Muslim community inMurfreesboro." The controversy affected the building project, with some contractors becoming reluctant to work on it, and community relations. According to Professor Saleh Sbenaty of Middle Tennessee State University, a board member of the ICM, "kids [began] asking their mothers who have head scarves not to go to the malls because they're scared of seeing their mom being harassed," while adults had become "afraid to come to the mosque and pray." One contractor told ICM officials that although he needed the work, "I don't want to get on bad terms with my preacher." The ICM had to pay significantly morefor the project because of contractors' reluctance to work on it. It also had to hire a security guard to protect the Veals Road construction site and install a security system in its existing building. Chancellor Corlew had rejected the claims that the county acted improperly is permitting construction of the mosque. But in September 2011 he granted the plaintiffs permission to challenge whether the county's approval of the mosque had violated open meeting laws. A few days later, an anonymous caller left a bomb threat on the ICM's voicemail, accompanied by "extreme profanities and derogatory remarks toward Muslims." Federalauthorities later arrested and charged Javier Alan Correa, a 24-year-old resident of Corpus Christi, Texas. Correa was charged with violating the civil rights of mosque members by infringing on their religious freedom and faced up to 30 years' imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000 if convicted. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years' probation, including eight months of home detention, on a charge of obstructing the free exercise of religious beliefs. Further litigation and federal intervention In the fall of 2011, seventeen plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Rutherford County, alleging that it had violated Tennessee's open-meetingslaw. Their attorney said that the approval of the mosque violated the plaintiffs' constitutional rights, on the grounds that "mosque members were compelled by their religion to subdue non-Muslims." This was rejected by Chancellor Corlew, leaving the question of whether there had been sufficient public notice for the planning commission's meeting of May 24, 2010 as the only remaining issue to be decided. The plaintiffs' attorney repeatedly tried to expand the case, for instance, comparing the mosque unfavorably to a neighboring Baptist church: "Are you aware of any information linking Grace Baptist Church to organizations that call for the killingcomplicated by the fact that Tennessee law did not define what would count as adequate, and the issue had never been satisfactorily settled in court. The county contended that the notice that had been given – an advertisement in the Sunday edition of the local free newspaper and on that paper's website – met the requirements of the law. Its attorney, Josh McCreary, noted that the approval of the mosque had been a routine matter that had not been controversial at the time. He said that the public controversy had been stirred up by the plaintiffs after the fact toto advertise the meeting on its website or local cable channel, which officials acknowledged had been an oversight. Corlew stated in his opinion that because of the great public interest in the mosque, the county should have taken extra steps to make the public aware of the meeting. Although the ruling voided the planning commission's approval, the judge noted that the commission was free to reconsider the issue and come to a fresh decision as long as it was taken for "non-discriminatory reasons." The judge did not order a halt to the mosque's construction, which was by that point nearlymeaning that the full court process – taking up to a year – would be required. But on July 18, however, the US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, alleging that the county violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act by Corlew's decision. The ICM also filed suit in the same US District Court. The Justice Department's filing criticized Corlew for treating the mosque unequally by imposing a heightened requirement of notice of a kind to which other religious organizations had not been subject. Judge ToddCampbell issued a temporary restraining order requiring the county to conduct a final inspection and to issue a certificate of occupancy if the inspection showed that the structure complied with the building code and applicable regulations. In response, Chancellor Corlew stayed his own actions under the doctrine of Federal preemption, but made it clear that he had been preparing to order cessation of construction had the federal authorities not stepped in. The mosque's opponents filed a motion in the federal district court, claiming that Judge Campbell had accepted "false allegations" and questioning whether Islam was a religion. The local USRepresentative, Republican Diane Black, and her primary opponent, Lou Anne Zelenik, both issued statements criticizing the federal intervention. Black said: "Christians' rights to freedom of religion are violated frequently and the Obama Justice Department doesn't come rushing to our aid, but they will meddle in a local zoning matter to promote Islam." The mosque's imam, Ossama Bahloul, told the media that the ruling was a victory for religious freedom: "We are here to celebrate the freedom of religion and that the concept of liberty is a fact existing in this nation. The winner today is not an individual, the winnertoday is our nation and the fact that our Constitution prevailed." Luke Goodrich of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a national civil liberties organization, said: No congregation should have its right of religious liberty curtailed solely because some of its neighbors disapprove of its religious beliefs. No religion is an island. When the rights of one faith are abridged, the rights of all faiths are threatened. All faiths have the right to worship God in freedom and in peace. Opening After final safety checks, the new mosque received a temporary certificate of occupancy on August 7, 2012, during Ramadan.The building opened on August 10 for Friday prayers. Although there were concerns about public safety, the occasion passed off peacefully. A single opponent turned up in an "I Love Jesus" hat and told reporters that he was there to "represent the Christians". Shortly before the opening, members of the neighboring Grace Baptist Church erected 13 white crosses in a field across the road from the mosque "to make a statement to the Muslims about how we felt about our religion, our Christianity. We wanted them to see the crosses and know how we felt about things." Ossama Bahloul ofthe ICM told worshippers, "This day is a day of forgiveness. We want to say that we have nothing bad in our heart against anyone." The New York Times praised the forbearance of the ICM's members in an editorial published on August 19, noting that "[w]ith patience and dignity, the Islamic Americans of Murfreesboro learned the hard way the endless American lesson that constitutional rights don't come guaranteed." The mosque received its permanent certificate of occupancy on August 23 after the county completed its inspections of the new building. However, the litigation continued as the mosque's opponents sought to intervenein the federal case and the county continued its appeal to a higher state court against Chancellor Corlew's May decision. The litigation against the mosque's opening finally came to an end on June 2, 2014 when a bid by opponents to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court of the United States was rebuffed, with the court declining to take the case. The four-year litigation had by this point cost the county more than $340,000 in legal fees. One positive outcome of the dispute, according to a spokesperson for the Nashville-based American Center for Outreach, was that it had promptedlocal Muslims to build closer ties to local interfaith groups and become more engaged in the community, from which they had received a great deal of support. Mosque opponents also attempted to block the construction of a cemetery adjacent to the complex, filing a suit in a state court. The suit was dismissed by a senior judge on June 19, 2014, with no further possibility of appeals.

Cast Wendy Blacklock as Elizabeth Westcott Nigel Lovell as Col Prestcott, the acting Governor of NSW Michael Cole as Richard Soames Chris Christiansen as Mansfield Nat Levinson as Snark Michael Walse as Harbutt Joy Hill as Mog McGuire Queenie Ashton as Lydia Patterson Production The film was commissioned by ATN-7 from the writers of the musical Lola Montez, which had enjoyed a successfulrun on stage. The brief was to create a family musical for Christmas. The budget was £5,000 The book was by Alan Burke, the music by Peter Stannard, and the lyrics were by Peter Benjamin. It was broadcast live from ATN-7 studios in Epping, Sydney. The music was conducted by Tommy Tycho. Michael Cole had been fired from Lola Montez. He was hired by the writers for this to make it up to him. Songs Overture (orchestra) "He-ho, you'll never go back" - sung by male chorus of convicts at beginning "Send for Me" - sung by Wendy Blacklock "I'mOn My Way" - sung by Wendy Blacklock "Bells Suddenly Ringing" - love song sung by Michael Cole "The Grog Song" - sung by taverners at The Silver Bottle "How Could I See?" - sung by Blacklock and Cole "The Whole Shebang" - sung by three convicts (Chris Christensen, Nat Levinson, Michael Walsh) "You Walked By" - sung by Blacklock and Cole "So Much More: "Our Own Bare Hands" "The Argument" "Sometimes" Finale Songs on 1960 Cast Album 1. 'Overture' (Orchestra); 2. 'Heigh Ho, You'll Never Go Back' (male chorus); 3. 'Send For Me' (Elizabeth, Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark); 4.in a 75-minute show is pretty fair value, and the... tunes and lyrics were fluent, neatly turned and literate. Equally important. they arose naturally from the situations arranged by the... book, and always took the story-line, and characterisation, a step further. And at least one song, "Bells Suddenly Ring" is a possible hit tune. Moreover, the show proved that for those who are willing to use their imagination, there is plenty of theatrical material in our early history... Michael Cole acted and sang very attractively indeed: Wendy Blacklock brought the proper strength of character... but was not entirely at ease

Ole Peter Riis Høegh (also Ole Petter Riis Høegh, often simply Peter Høegh; July 27, 1806 – March 1, 1852) was one of Norway's first trained civilian architects and was Bergen's first town surveyor. Høegh was born in Grue, Norway. He designed several significant buildings in Bergen and Trondheim. Stylistically, Høegh's architecture is characterized by Neoclassicism, but also contains early touches of Historicism. He died in Bergen. Education and work in Christiania Høegh received his first training in architecture under the architect Jørgen Gerhard Løser. After this, he studied at the Royal School of Drawing under Hans Linstow. In 1823,Trondheim In 1830, Høegh moved to Trondheim, where he was responsible for a number of important construction projects over the next five years. Both the forced-labor prison (now the National Museum of Justice) and the Military Hospital were built based on Høegh's plans. The former Bank of Norway main office was built from 1830 to 1832. In cooperation with Gustav Adolph Lammers, Høegh designed the Tronka asylum (built from 1836 to 1842). In 1834, he was involved in the construction of a new Gothic vault in the octagon of Nidaros Cathedral and he prepared a proposal for needed repairs. In1835 he submitted the first proposal for replacing the cathedral dome. Bergen By 1832, Høegh had been appointed town surveyor in Bergen, but he did not take office there until 1835 because of all of the commissions that he had in Trondheim. The biographer Arno Berg writes that "On the whole, I believe that during the years Høegh was working in Bergen he was engaged in scattered building activities, with some prominent architecture in the city and its vicinity in his hands." There is no doubt that all of the manor houses attributed to him, including Urdi House, Christinegård Mansion,Helland House and Wernersholm, truly are his work. The buildings in Bergen attributed to him with greater certainty were designed between 1836 and 1845, and they show the influence of German Romantic Classicism. In 1836 and 1837, Høegh traveled for study in Copenhagen, Hamburg, Berlin, and Potsdam, and his later architecture shows the strong influence of leading German architects such as Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Høegh received a number of important commissions in Bergen, but today most of these have either been demolished or heavily rebuilt. His two best-preserved structures are Bergen's new secondary school (the Bergen Cathedral School), built in1840, and the Bank of Norway branch office, built between 1840 and 1845. Death Høegh eventually had trouble making a living as an architect. By 1848 he was ill, his wife had died, and he was forced to sell his house. In 1849 he was declared insane, and the following year he was placed under guardianship. He died two years later, at the age of 44. Selected works Bank of Norway main office (now the Trondheim Science Museum), at King Street (Kongens gate) 1, Trondheim, 1830–1831 (completed after preliminary work by the architect Johan Christopher Ræder). Tronka asylum (originally theTrondheim Hospital Care Foundation for the Feeble Minded, Trondhjems Hospitals Pleiestiftelse for Sindssvage), Erling Skakke Street (Erling Skakkes gate) 66, Trondheim, 1836–1842 (together with Gustav Adolph Lammers).

Šiauliai County () is one of ten counties in Lithuania. It is in the north of the country, and its capital is Šiauliai. On 1 July 2010, the county administration was abolished, and since that date, Šiauliai County remains as the territorial and statistical unit. History Formation of administrative regions in Lithuania started in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 18th century. In October 1795, Catherine II of Russia granted Šiauliai the city rights and the privilege to become the capital town of the region. Administrative division of Russian Empire remained unchanged up to the end of World WarI. When the war came to its end, in 1918 Lithuania was restored as an independent state. On December 17, 1918, a circular No.1 was issued "On Municipalities in Lithuania" that declared that the entire area of Lithuania would be divided into the regions - apskritys (county sometimes translated into English as a provinces or counties). There were 10 apskritys in Lithuania. In 1937 Siauliai county's overall territory was 6042 km² and 210 thousands people lived there. It was the largest apskritis in Lithuania. In 1940 the Soviet Union occupied Lithuania and reformed the administrative system. The county system remaineduntil 1950 when the counties were abolished and entire area was divided into smaller units - districts, or rajonas in Lithuanian. Only in 1994 - four years after the restoration of Lithuania's independence in 1990 - the apskritys were created again. However, the interwar apskritys should not be mixed with current apskritys, as their purpose, sizes, and number are all different, see administrative division of Lithuania. The entire area of Lithuania is currently divided into 10 larger units - apskritys and smaller districts, consisting of urban and rural elderships.

John Paul Corigliano (born February 16, 1938) is an American composer of classical music. His scores, now numbering over one hundred, have won him the Pulitzer Prize, five Grammy Awards, Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition, and an Oscar. He is a distinguished professor of music at Lehman College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and on the composition faculty at the Juilliard School. Biography Before 1964 The Italian-American Corigliano was born in New York City to a musical family. His father, John Paul Corigliano Sr., was concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic for 23 years,and his mother, Rose Buzen, is an accomplished educator and pianist. Corigliano attended P.S. 241 and Midwood High School in Brooklyn. He studied composition at Columbia University (BA 1959) and at the Manhattan School of Music. He studied with Otto Luening, Vittorio Giannini, and Paul Creston. Before achieving success as a composer, Corigliano worked as assistant to the producer on the Leonard Bernstein Young People's Concerts and as a session producer for classical artists such as André Watts. He was also music director for New York's listener-sponsored radio station WBAI. 1964–1987 Corigliano first came to prominence in 1964 at theage of 26 when his Sonata for Violin and Piano (1963) was the only winner of the chamber-music competition of the Spoleto Festival in Italy. In 1970, Corigliano teamed up with David Hess to create The Naked Carmen. In a recent communication with David Hess, Hess acknowledged that The Naked Carmen was originally conceived by Corigliano and himself as a way to update the most popular opera of our time (Carmen). Mercury Records wanted the classical and popular divisions to work together and after a meeting with Joe Bott, Scott Mampe and Bob Reno, it was decided to proceed withthe project. In Hess's own words, the project was "a collective decision". After he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, Corigliano began teaching at the Manhattan School of Music and became a music faculty member at Lehman College. He credits his first two concerti for solo wind for both changing his art and his career. It was during the composition of his Oboe Concerto (1975) and especially his Clarinet Concerto (1977) that he first used an "architectural" method of composing. In 1974, he wrote his first film score for the documentary A Williamsburg Sampler. He later wrote the score for AlteredPhilharmonic (1982). In 1984, he became Distinguished Professor of Music at Lehman College and left his position at Manhattan School of Music in 1986. 1987–present In 1987, Corigliano was the first composer ever to serve as Composer-in-Residence for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. During his residency, he composed his first symphony, which was inspired by the AIDS epidemic and to honor the friends he lost. His first symphony won him the University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition in 1991 and his first Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition in 1992. Corigliano's first and only opera, The Ghosts ofVersailles, was the Metropolitan Opera's first commission in nearly three decades, celebrating the company's 100th anniversary. The opera was a huge success at the premiere and received the International Classic Music Awards Composition of the Year award in 1992. In 1991, Corigliano became faculty member at the Juilliard School. In 1995, he was commissioned to write String Quartet (1995) by Lincoln Center for the Cleveland Quartet, which won him his second Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Classical Composition. Corigliano's fourth film score was for François Girard's The Red Violin (1997) which won him his second Academy Award nomination and the1999 Oscar for best film score. Portions of the score were used in his violin concerto (2003), written for Joshua Bell, who premiered it on September 19, 2003 with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. In 2001, he received the Pulitzer Prize for his Symphony No. 2 (2001). In 2011, Corigliano's song cycle One Sweet Morning premiered at Avery Fisher Hall by mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe and the New York Philharmonic, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Other important commissions have been Chiaroscuro (1997) for two pianos tuned a quarter tone apart for The Dranoff International Two Piano Foundation,Corigliano's most distinguished works include his Clarinet Concerto (1977), Symphony No. 1 (1988), The Ghosts of Versailles (1991), Symphony No. 2 for string orchestra (2000), Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan (2000), and his score for the film The Red Violin (1998). His clarinet concerto is the first by an American composer to have entered the standard repertoire since Aaron Copland's clarinet concerto.

Lehbib Ould Ali Ould Said Ould Yumani, known as Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi, is a Sahrawi Islamic militant and leader of the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara. History al-Sahrawi was born in Laayoune, Western Sahara into a wealthy trading family that fled the city for refugee camps in Algeria. He joined the Polisario Front and received military training, but demobilised amid promises of a United Nations referendum on the status of the Western Sahara. A former commander in al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, he was later part of the group that founded the Movement for Oneness and Jihad inWest Africa in October 2011. While part of MUJWA/MUJAO, he was one of its most senior leaders, serving on its shura council and communicating with international media as MUJWA's spokesman. By 2013, he was calling himself the leader of an organisation named the Mujahideen Shura Council in Gao, Mali. After MUJAO merged with Mokhtar Belmokhtar's Al-Mulathameen group in August 2013 to form Al-Mourabitoun, he was an important leader in Al-Murabitoun, later becoming its overall head. On May 13, 2015, Abu Walid declared his allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and formedIslamic State in the Greater Sahara. Not all of Murabitoun accepted the move, with Mokhtar Belmokhtar denying that al-Murabitoun had pledged to Baghdadi, causing a split in the group. More than a year and a half later the allegiance was publicly accepted by IS's Amaq news agency. In May 2016, he was reported to have issued threats against the Moroccan government. In June 2017, al-Sahrawi accused the Imghad and Idaksahak communities of defending Niger and France and threatened retaliation against them.

Sun Luban ( 229–258), courtesy name Dahu, was an imperial princess of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. She was the elder daughter of Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Wu, and his concubine Bu Lianshi. She is also referred to as Eldest Princess (長公主) because she was probably the eldest among Sun Quan's daughters, and as Princess Quan (全公主/全主) because of her marriage to Quan Cong. Early life and marriages Sun Luban was the elder daughter of Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Eastern Wu, and his concubine Bu Lianshi. She had ayounger sister, Sun Luyu. The sisters' courtesy names, Dahu (大虎) and Xiaohu (小虎), respectively mean "big tiger" and "small tiger". Sun Luban initially married Zhou Xun (周循), Zhou Yu's son, but Zhou Xun died early. In 229, she married again, this time to Quan Cong, a general serving under her father. Sun Luban bore Quan Cong two sons: Quan Yì (全懌) and Quan Wu (全吳). Life during Sun Quan's reign Sun Luban bore a grudge against Lady Wang, one of her father's concubines. She also disliked her half-brother, Sun He, who was born to Lady Wang. In 242, after SunQuan designated Sun He as Crown Prince, he wanted to make Lady Wang the Empress. However, Sun Luban strongly objected and repeatedly spoke ill of Lady Wang in front of her father and managed to persuade him to drop the idea. As Sun Luban was worried that Sun He would take revenge against her after he became emperor, she frequently spoke ill of him in front of their father in the hope that Sun He would be deposed. On one occasion, Sun Quan could not attend a ceremony at the imperial ancestral temple because he was sick, so he orderedSun He to take his place. Zhang Xiu, an uncle of Sun He's wife Crown Princess Zhang (張太子妃), lived near the imperial ancestral temple so he invited Sun He to stay at his residence during that period. Sun Luban sent her servants to spy on Sun He and reported to her father that Sun He was not in the imperial ancestral temple and was instead staying with his in-laws and plotting something. She also used the opportunity to further speak ill of Sun He's mother, Lady Wang, by telling Sun Quan that Lady Wang expressed glee when she heard thathe was sick. Sun Quan believed his daughter and became furious with Lady Wang. Lady Wang later died in distress, while Sun He lost favour with his father. Sometime in the 240s, a power struggle broke out between Sun He and his fourth brother, Sun Ba, who wanted to seize the position of Crown Prince from him. The power struggle had a polarising effect on Sun Quan's subjects; two opposing factions, each supporting either Sun He or Sun Ba, emerged from among them. During this time, Sun Luban's husband, Quan Cong, supported Sun Ba, but died in 249 before thepower struggle ended. In 250, the power struggle came to an end when Sun Quan forced Sun Ba to commit suicide and deposed Sun He from his position as Crown Prince. Many of the officials involved in the power struggle were executed, exiled or removed from office. Earlier on, Sun Luban noticed that her father increasingly favoured his youngest son, Sun Liang, and wanted to replace Sun He with Sun Liang as Crown Prince. Eager to gain Sun Liang as a political ally, she advised her father to arrange a marriage between Sun Liang and Quan Huijie, the daughter ofQuan Shang (全尚), a younger relative of her husband Quan Cong. Sun Quan heeded his daughter's advice and arranged for Sun Liang to marry Quan Huijie. In 250, after deposing Sun He, Sun Quan made Sun Liang the new Crown Prince, while Quan Huijie became Crown Princess. Life during Sun Jun's regency In 252, Sun Liang became the second emperor of Eastern Wu following the death of his father. As Sun Liang was only nine years old then, Zhuge Ke served as regent and ruled on his behalf. In 253, Sun Jun staged a coup d'état against Zhuge Ke andkilled him, and then became the new regent. Sun Jun had a secret affair with Sun Luban; the affair probably started after her husband Quan Cong died in 249. Making use of her special relationship with Sun Jun, Sun Luban instigated him to help her get rid of her half-brother Sun He, the former Crown Prince. In 253, Sun Jun had Sun He relocated to Xindu Commandery (新都郡; around present-day Yi County, Anhui) and then sent an emissary to force him to commit suicide. Earlier on during her father's reign, when Sun Luban took Sun Ba's side in the successionstruggle against Sun He, she sought support from her younger sister, Sun Luyu. She became estranged from her sister after the latter refused to support her. In 255, Sun Yi (孫儀) and others plotted to overthrow Sun Jun from his position as regent, but were discovered and executed before they could carry out their plan. Sun Luban seized the opportunity to falsely accuse Sun Luyu of being involved in the plot, and instigated Sun Jun to have her executed as well. Life during Sun Chen's regency After Sun Jun died in 256, his cousin Sun Chen succeeded him as theregent for the Wu emperor Sun Liang. Sometime between 256 and 258, Sun Liang suspected that Sun Luban had something to do with Sun Luyu's death, so he summoned his half-sister and questioned her. A fearful Sun Luban lied to him, "I really don't know. I heard it from Zhu Ju's sons, Zhu Xiong (朱熊) and Zhu Sun (朱損)." Sun Liang thought that Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun betrayed Sun Luyu to Sun Jun – especially since Zhu Sun married Sun Jun's younger sister – so he ordered Ding Feng to execute Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun. Sun Liang alsobecame increasingly wary of Sun Chen, who seemed likely to usurp the throne from him, so in 258 he plotted with Sun Luban, Quan Shang (全尚) and Liu Cheng (劉承) to eliminate Sun Chen. As one of Sun Liang's concubines was a cousin of Sun Chen, she overheard the plot and warned Sun Chen about it. Sun Chen quickly took action to preempt them: he sent his men to capture Quan Shang, sent his brother Sun En (孫恩) to kill Liu Cheng, and then led his soldiers to surround the palace. Later, he removed Sun Liang from the throne andreplaced him with Sun Xiu, Sun Quan's sixth son. He also had Sun Luban exiled to Yuzhang Commandery (豫章郡; around present-day Nanchang, Jiangxi). It is not known what happened to Sun Luban after that. See also Lists of people of the Three Kingdoms Eastern Wu family trees#Sun Quan Notes References Chen, Shou (3rd century).

JDS Amatsukaze (DDG-163) was a guided missile destroyer (DDG) of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), and the only ship of her class. She was the first Japanese surface combatant equipped with surface-to-air missiles. She was launched on 5 October 1963 and decommissioned in 1995. Amatsukaze was planned as the DDG variant of the preceding Akizuki-class anti-aircraft destroyers, mounting the American Tartar Guided Missile Fire Control System weapon system. However, the Tartar system turned out to be larger than expected, so Amatsukazes design was altered completely, with an enlarged hull and with a shelter-deck design based on that of the

The Prairie D'Âne Battlefield, also known as Prairie D'Ann Battlefield or Prairie De Ann Battlefield in anglicized forms, was the site of the Civil War Battle of Prairie d'Âne, one of the engagements in southwestern Arkansas of the Union's Camden Expedition of 1864. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and, with other sites, is part of the Camden Expedition Sites National Historic Landmark. It was declared part of the National Historic Landmark in 1994. In February 2018 the Nevada County Depot and Museum announced it was deeded an 800-acre tract of this battlefield, whichit will improve for heritage tourism. The Civil War Trust, a division of the American Battlefield Trust, acquired the acreage. Note: The Trust's website shows the parcel as 811 acres. History The 1864 Camden Expedition was part of a two-pronged strategy by the Union Army to drive Confederate resistance out of southwestern Arkansas and northern Louisiana, and penetrated into Confederate Texas. Union Major General Frederick Steele led a Union force from Little Rock on March 23, 1864, with the objective of joining forces with Major General Nathaniel Prentice Banks at Shreveport, Louisiana. Confederate forces in Arkansas were directed from Washington,in a rearguard skirmish near the hamlet of Moscow (now part of Prescott). Due to difficulties resupplying is force while in Camden, Steele ended up withdrawing all the way back to Little Rock. Battlefield The main battle took place over an area estimated to cover some in and around where the city of Prescott later developed after being established in 1873. Much of this area has been cultivated for agriculture, and remains lightly developed. The only major intrusion constructed since the battle is a corridor containing railroad tracks and Interstate 30. The Moscow area, where the rearguard action took place,is relatively unaltered, with some development taking place outside the known bounds of the battle area. The Moscow Methodist Church and Cemetery, a site which existed at the time of the battle, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (The current church is a 20th-century structure.) A land area of more than was designated in 1994 as part of the Camden Expedition Sites, a National Historic Landmark District. In February 2018, the Nevada County Depot and Museum announced acquisition of an 800-acre tract of the battlefield and planned a celebration to accept the deed. It had conducted fundraisingand was aided by a grant from the American Battlefield Protection Program of the National Park Service. The Civil War Trust, a division of the American Battlefield Trust, America's largest non-profit battlefield organization, purchased the property and deeded it to the museum. (The Trust lists the parcel as containing 811 acres). The site will be prepared as a heritage tourism destination; the interpretive plan will include 412 acres of the nearby Elkins’ Ferry Battlefield.

Topgolf is a global sports entertainment company headquartered in Dallas, Texas with locations in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. The company's largest investors are WestRiver Group and Callaway Golf. TopGolf locations in Australia are run by a joint venture of Topgolf International (3.7%) and Village Roadshow Theme Parks. While in Canada, a joint venture with Cineplex Entertainment was set up to operate locations there. History Twin brothers Steve and Dave Jolliffe had sold their mystery-shopping business and were looking for a new project in 1997. Both golfers, they began complaining about golf's issues: the time factor and lacklusterdriving ranges. Looking to improve the game, the Jolliffes looked to the then-new commercial microchip technology and placed it in the golf ball. From this, they designed a new game, Topgolf, which is a redesigned driving range. In Watford, just outside London, the twins built the first location, which opened in 2000. The golfing community and businesses were not enthusiastic about the game. The PGA and golf equipment companies refused to get involved. In 2003, bankers approached Richard Grogan to invest but were rejected. Grogan later had been induced to visit the Topgolf facility in February 2004. Seeing only a5% return on investment, Grogan turned them down again, although he was otherwise impressed during the visit. Grogan with three other partners—David Main, Eric Wilkinson, Tom Mendell—then struck upon how to increase business by making it an experience by having an event space, larger kitchens, and restaurants, making locations 3 to 4 times the original's size. Grogan, Main, Wilkinson, Mendell founded and started up the US licensee, Topgolf International, and found investors. WestRiver Group was a lead investor. Alexandria, Virginia was selected due to its close proximity to Washington, D.C., which could attract government officials from golf courses. This locationopened in 2005. This location struggled so Grogan decided, although it is in a colder climate, to open a location in Chicago. Snow closed the location for its first four weeks and caused equipment damage. The next Topgolf location, Dallas, was selected for its connection to golf, a warmer environment, and Fortune 500 companies. With little traffic at any location, Grogan expect to be closed by May 2007. With an energetic Dallas staff in February 2007, Grogan and Main brainstormed a number of low-tech marketing techniques to draw customers as they needed to explain Topgolf like in the UK. Aftersix months, the Dallas facility had a six-hour wait. In 2009, Topgolf International (US) acquired Topgolf UK then in July from World Golf Systems the TopGolf intellectual property aspects. By 2011, WestRiver's head Erik Anderson took over the executive chairman post from Grogan. Anderson move to have newer location even larger with full line kitchens with executive chefs replacing small kitchens and more golfer space. Ten locations were opened in 2013. Topgolf had sales of $163.5 million in 2014 to make the Inc. 500. Mobile phone apps were issued in 2013, with social media digital walls added to locations in2015. By 2015, Topgolf had 28 locations that brought in 8 million customers. In January 2016, the company purchased the World Golf Tour gaming company. Also that year, Protracer golf ball tracking technology was purchased and renamed Toptracer. Topgolf and Village Roadshow Theme Parks agreed in 2016 to a joint venture to bring Topgolf to Australia. Village Roadshow received a 67% stake in the joint venture by providing 100% of the startup funds. On June 23, 2016, it was announced that Village Roadshow would open a venue next door to its popular theme parks, Warner Bros. Movie World in Oxenford,Lounge, in Kirkland, Washington and opened in January 2020. Games The Topgolf games can be played by all ages and skill levels, and the micro chipped golf balls score themselves, providing players with instant feedback on each shot's accuracy and distance. Top Golf – Players aim for 11 giant dartboard-like targets. The further the shot goes and the closer to the pin, the more points the player receives. Top Break – has a snooker based format in which a player must hit a red target then a coloured target. The higher value colours, the more points are awarded. Top Chipmultiply, hit the same section twice on level 2 and 3 and points will be deduced. Locations There are currently 50+ Topgolf locations, three in the United Kingdom, and one in Australia. Each Topgolf venue features climate-controlled hitting bays for year-round play, food, beverage, music and HDTVs on which various sports games are shown, such as football, basketball and golf. Topgolf also offers golf lessons, leagues, tournaments, concerts, and corporate and social events. TopGolf Lounge, or Lounge by Topgolf, is a smaller location with a live sports restaurant, a few public hitting bays and a special events bay plus virtual

Schacht v. United States, 398 U.S. 58 (1970), was a United States Supreme Court case, which ruled that actors could wear accurate military uniforms—regardless of the production's portrayal of the military—on First Amendment grounds. Background On December 4th, 1967, Daniel Jay Schacht and his friend, Jarrett Vander Smith, along with a third party, participated in a nationally coordinated protest of the Vietnam War by participating in a skit demonstrating the murder of Vietnamese civilians by the U.S. Military. The skit "was composed of three people. There was Schacht who was dressed in a uniform and cap. A second person [Smith]boat [sic] leaving two or three times a day for other parts of the world. I can probably name you gentlemen the place to go. If you don't like it, get out.'" Run Brother Run, by David Berg (Schacht's attorney) (Scribner 2013), pp. 132-134. Smith and Schacht were indicted, tried by a jury and convicted of violating 18 U.S.C.A. § 702. U.S. District Judge James Noel sentenced Vander Smith to probation. Then, while punching holes in a piece of paper with a pencil, Noel glared at Danny and said, 'Schacht's express purpose was to discredit the United States, of thisthe jurisdiction of the United States or in the Canal Zone, without authority, wears the uniform or a distinctive part thereof or anything similar to a distinctive part of the uniform of any of the armed forces of the United States, Public Health Service or any auxiliary of such, shall be fined not more than $250 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both." 10 U.S.C. § 772(f) "When wearing by persons not on active duty authorized....

(English: The Clemency of Titus), K. 621, is an opera seria in two acts composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to an Italian libretto by Caterino Mazzolà, after Pietro Metastasio. It was started after the bulk of (The Magic Flute), the last opera that Mozart worked on, was already written. The work premiered on 6 September 1791 at the Estates Theatre in Prague. Background In 1791, the last year of his life, Mozart was already well advanced in writing by July when he was asked to compose an opera seria. The commission came from the impresario Domenico Guardasoni, who lived inchallenges engendered by the French Revolution. The ceremony was to take place on 6 September; Guardasoni had been approached about the opera in June. No opera of Mozart was more clearly pressed into the service of a political agenda than , in this case to promote the reactionary political and social policies of an aristocratic elite. No evidence exists to evaluate Mozart's attitude toward this, or even whether he was aware of the internal political conflicts raging in the kingdom of Bohemia in 1791. In a contract dated 8 July, Guardasoni promised that he would engage a castrato "of leadingquality" (this seems to have mattered more than who wrote the opera); that he would "have the libretto caused to be written...and to be set to music by a distinguished maestro". The time was tight and Guardasoni had a get-out clause: if he failed to secure a new text, he would resort to La clemenza di Tito, a libretto written more than half a century earlier by Pietro Metastasio (1698–1782). Metastasio's libretto had already been set by nearly 40 composers; the story is based on the life of Roman Emperor Titus, from some brief hints in The Lives of theCaesars by the Roman writer Suetonius, and was elaborated by Metastasio in 1734 for the Italian composer Antonio Caldara. Among later settings were Gluck's in 1752 and Josef Mysliveček's version in 1774; there would be three further settings after 1791. Mozart was not Guardasoni's first choice. Instead, he approached Antonio Salieri, the most distinguished composer of Italian opera in Vienna and head of the music establishment at the imperial court. But Salieri was too busy, and he declined the commission, although he did attend the coronation. The libretto was edited into a more useful state by the court poet CaterinoMazzolà. Unusually, in Mozart's personal catalogue of compositions, Mazzolà is credited for his revision with the note that the libretto had been "reworked into a true opera". Mazzolà conflated the original three act libretto into two acts, and none of the original Metastasio arias are from the original middle act. Mazzolà replaced a lot of the dialogue with ensembles and wrote a new act one finale, cobbled from lines in the original libretto, which presents the uprising, whereas Metastasio merely describes it. Guardasoni's experience of Mozart's work on Don Giovanni convinced him that the younger composer was more than capableof working on the tightest deadline. Mozart readily accepted the commission given his fee would be twice the price of a similar opera commissioned in Vienna. Mozart's earliest biographer Niemetschek alleged that the opera was completed in just 18 days, and in such haste that the secco recitatives were supplied by another composer, probably Franz Xaver Süssmayr, believed to have been Mozart's pupil. Although no other documentation exists to confirm Süssmayr's participation, none of the secco recitatives are in Mozart's autograph, and it is known that Süssmayr traveled with Mozart to Prague a week before the premiere to help withrehearsals, proofreading, and copying. It has been suggested by scholars of Mozart that he had been working on the opera much longer, perhaps since 1789; however, all such theories have now been thoroughly refuted in the English-language musicological literature. The opera may not have been written in just 18 days, but it certainly ranks with Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri, Il barbiere di Siviglia and La Cenerentola as one of the operas written in the shortest amount of time that is still frequently performed today. It is not known what Leopold thought of the opera written in his honor. Reports thathis wife Maria Luisa of Spain dismissed it as (literally in Italian "German swinishness," but most idiomatically translated "A German mess") do not pre-date 1871, in a collection of literary vignettes by Alfred Meissner about the history of Prague purportedly based on recollections of the author's grandfather, who was present for the coronation ceremonies. Performance history The premiere took place a few hours after Leopold's coronation. The role of Sesto was taken by castrato soprano, Domenico Bedini. The opera was first performed publicly on 6 September 1791 at the Estates Theatre in Prague. The opera remained popular for many yearsafter Mozart's death. It was the first Mozart opera to reach London, receiving its première there at His Majesty's Theatre on 27 March 1806. The cast included John Braham, whose long-time companion Nancy Storace had been the first Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro in Vienna. However, as it was only played once, it does not appear to have attracted much interest. As far as can be gathered, it was not staged in London again until at the St Pancras Festival in 1957. The first performance at La Scala in Milan was on 26 December 1818. The North American premierewas staged on 4 August 1952 at the Berkshire Music Center in Tanglewood. For a long time, Mozart scholars regarded Tito as an inferior effort of the composer. Alfred Einstein in 1945 wrote that it was "customary to speak disparagingly of La clemenza di Tito and to dismiss it as the product of haste and fatigue," and he continues the disparagement to some extent by condemning the characters as puppets – e.g., "Tito is nothing but a mere puppet representing magnanimity" – and claiming that the opera seria was already a moribund form. However, in recent years the opera hasundergone something of a reappraisal. Stanley Sadie considered it to show Mozart "responding with music of restraint, nobility and warmth to a new kind of stimulus". The opera retains a reasonably high profile, and is in the lower reaches of the 'Top 50' performed at major houses, worldwide At the Salzburg Festival 2017, Peter Sellars directed his interpretation of the opera, as "a vision of peaceful coexistence", "reaching far beyond the historical context", a coproduction with the Dutch National Opera, Amsterdam, and the Deutsche Oper Berlin. Conducted by Teodor Currentzis, it premiered on 27 July 2017 at the Felsenreitschule inSalzburg. The opera was also performed as part of Glyndebourne's 2017 summer festival . In 2019 the Los Angeles Opera put on the opera for the first time in its history in an all new production, conducted by James Conlon and starting Russell Thomas. In 2019 the opera was performed at the Metropolitan Opera in Manhattan and broadcast on April 20, 2019. Roles Instrumentation The opera is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, (1 also basset clarinet and basset horn), 2 bassoons, 2 French horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. Basso continuo in recitativi secchi is made upfosse intorno al trono). In the meantime, however, Vitellia has heard the news about Tito's interest in Servilia and is again boiling with jealousy. She urges Sesto to assassinate Tito. He agrees, singing one of the opera's most famous arias (Parto, parto, ma tu, ben mio with basset clarinet obbligato). Almost as soon as he leaves, Annio and the guard Publio arrive to escort Vitellia to Tito, who has now chosen her as his empress. She is torn with feelings of guilt and worry over what she has sent Sesto to do. Sesto, meanwhile, is at the Capitol wrestling withis torn by guilt, but Servilia warns her that tears alone will not save Sesto (aria S'altro che lagrime). Vitellia finally decides to confess all to Tito, giving up her hopes of empire (rondo Non più di fiori with basset horn obbligato). In the amphitheatre, the condemned (including Sesto) are waiting to be thrown to the wild beasts. Tito is about to show mercy, when Vitellia offers her confession as the instigator of Sesto's plot. Although shocked, the emperor includes her in the general clemency he offers (recitativo accompagnato Ma che giorno è mai questo?). The opera concludes with allthe subjects praising the extreme generosity of Tito; he then asks that the gods cut short his days, should he ever cease to care for the good of Rome.

Bideford College is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Bideford in the English county of Devon with a principal named Dr. Claire Ankers. History It is the only state-funded secondary school in Bideford. In 2003, the college was awarded specialist science status as part of the specialist schools programme. Due to its specialist status, it received extra funding from the government for extending its educational activities. On 28 June 2014 the then Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove, visited the college. Previously a foundation school administered by Devon County Council, the school converted to academy status& Social Care Hepworth or H Block - PE, Sports halls, Drama Academics Bideford College offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels, OCR Nationals and further BTECs. Performance Figures published by the UK Government in February 2008 showed Bideford College had made significant improvements in the key stage 3 exams taken by 14-year-old students. Over the previous four years (2004 to 2007) the school’s aggregate score for the exams in English, Maths and Science has risen from 177 to 237out of 300. This placed Bideford College joint 21st nationally in the table of most improved secondary schools published by the DCSF. Bideford was also in the top 20 percent of schools nationally based on the progress made from year 7 to year 9. An OFSTED inspection took place on 2−3 May 2013 and was judged to require improvement, that leadership and management had not brought about improvements sufficiently, examination results for Key Stage 4 students were not as good as they should be, and the quality of teaching was not consistently good or better because some lessons did not

Secondary Highway 538, commonly referred to as Highway 538, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway is in length and follows an older alignment of Highway 17 east of Blind River and near the village of Algoma Mills, between the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks and the shoreline of the North Channel of Lake Huron, while the present Highway 17 runs north of the railway tracks. The route was designated in 1956 and has remained unchanged since. Route description Highway 538 is a short and narrow highway which follows a former alignment of Highway 17,at which it begins and ends. It starts in the west at Algoma Mills, travelling east initially before turning south and passing beneath a CPR rail line. The route descends along the western bank of Lauzon Creek before turning southeast and crossing it. It passes several shops and continues towards the shoreline, at which point it curves northeast. The highway travels around Bootlegger's Bay before diverging from the shoreline, turning north and ascending towards Highway 17. From this point until its eastern terminus, the highway travels alongside a parcel of the North Channel Inshore Provincial Park, a waterway park scatteredalong the North Channel shoreline. Immediately south of Highway 17 and the CPR tracks, the route curves east and follows parallel to Highway 17 for several kilometres. Following this, it abruptly curves north, crosses the railroad tracks and ends. Like other provincial routes in Ontario, Highway 538 is maintained by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario. In 2010, traffic surveys conducted by the ministry showed that on average, 140 vehicles used the highway daily along the section between Highway 17 and Miranda Boulevard in Algoma Mills while 60 vehicles did so each day along the section east of there, the

Gameplay Echo Night: Beyond is played from a first-person perspective, but unlike most other first-person games there is no use of firearms in the game. When confronted by a ghost the player must run before the player character's heart rate reaches a critical level; otherwise, he will die of a heart attack. There are no means of directly defending against ghosts; they mustthe station. Plot The game's storyline concerns Richard Osmond, who is flying in a space shuttle to a moon base with his fiancé Claudia, who he will wed upon arriving. A supernatural force causes the shuttle to crash during landing, killing many and releasing their ghostly spirits upon the base. Richard awakens and, discovering that he is alone, decides that Claudia might be elsewhere. The game centers around finding her, while also putting to rest the uneasy souls that roam the base. Shortly after arriving on the base, Richard encounters a strange man whom seems to know him. He followsthe B2 room). The coffin is then blasted out into space, where the Earth's reflection is seen on it. Richard returns to the hub and gazes at Earth through the skylight before the screen fades black. Reception The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of three sevens and one six for a total of 27 out of 40.

El Sherana is an abandoned uranium mine in the South Alligator River Valley of the Northern Territory, Australia. The deposit was discovered in 1954 by a United Uranium NL exploration team, led by Joe Fischer, with a ground radiometric survey. The site was named after the daughters of a team staff member, William 'Bluey' Halpin Kay - Elvira, Sherryl and Lana. El Sherana operated from 1958 to 1959 and El Sherana West from 1961 to 1964. The site was rehabilitated between 1988 and 1992. El Sherana was the largest producer of high grade uranium ore (with minor gold and silver)amongst the mines along the South Alligator River Valley. It had underground and open-cut operations. Production from El Sherana was 38,437 long tons at a grade of 12.42 lb U3O8 per long ton (0.55% U3O8). From El Sherana West, 21,316 long tons at a grade of 18.35 lb U3O8 per long ton (0.82% U3O8) were produced. At El Sherana and El Sherana West, uranium-gold mineralisation occurs in two general settings: at or near the shallow-dipping Koolpin Formation/Coronation Sandstone unconformity, where it is cut by normal and reverse faults (El Sherana pit). The host rocks are chert-banded siltstone and carbonaceous shaleadjacent to sandstone (Coronation Sandstone) and altered volcanics (Pul Pul Rhyolite), in irregular zones along the contacts between cherty ferruginous shale and carbonaceous shale (El Sherana West). The ore consisted of massive pods and disseminated veinlets of pitchblende, with secondary metatorbernite, autunite, gummite and gold, with minor pyrite, galena and chalcopyrite. Gold occurred as veinlets within pitchblende or as separate zones of mineralisation. Gold distribution extends beyond the high grade pitchblende pods that in places contain visible gold and forms an envelope around the poddy high grade uranium mineralisation, with grades of up to 0.2 ounce per ton (5.5 g/tonne).

Constantin-Nicolae Silvestri (; 31 May 1913, Bucharest – 23 February 1969, London) was a Romanian conductor and composer. Early life Silvestri, born of Austro-Italian-Romanian stock, was brought up mostly by his mother, his father dying from alcoholism, and his stepfather dying when the boy was 16. He had learnt how to play the piano and organ before the age of six. He played the piano in public at 10 and was a skilled improviser. He studied at the Târgu Mureş Conservatoire, and later at the Bucharest Conservatoire. His teachers in Bucharest included Mihail Jora (composition) and Florica Musicescu (piano). Despitenot having taken conducting classes, he was already appearing as conductor in his teens, making his debut in 1930 with the Bucharest Radio Symphony Orchestra in a concert which included The Rite of Spring and his own composition Prelude and Fugue (Toccata). Career Silvestri's success in this 1930 National Radio Orchestra of Romania concert persuaded him to follow conducting as a career. He conducted at the Romanian National Opera from 1935 on, and, following the brief tenures of two caretakers, he also directed the Bucharest Philharmonic Orchestra for six years as successor to George Georgescu, in disgrace as a Nazicollaborator. Georgescu, ironically, assumed directorship of the Radio Orchestra; following Silvestri's emigration to the West, Georgescu would resume his place at the head of the Philharmonic, shortly thereafter renamed the George Enescu Philharmonic. From 1948 to 1956, Silvestri taught at the Bucharest Conservatoire (Conservatorul din Bucureşti), where he founded its Conducting Department. Among Silvestri's students were Sergiu Comissiona, Marius Constant, Anatol Vieru, Iosif Conta, Edgar Cosma. By the 1950s Silvestri was accepting guest engagements in the USSR, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. His career in Romania came to a climax in 1958 with the highly successful Romanian premiere of Oedipe in Bucharest.After leaving his home country Silvestri made Paris his domicile in 1959, also travelling to Australia that year, and appearing with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Philadelphia Orchestra in 1960-61, and making a number of recordings in Paris, London and Vienna for EMI. Having made his UK début with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1957 at the Royal Albert Hall, Silvestri defected to Great Britain in 1961 and assumed the post of Principal Conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. He raised the standard and prestige of the orchestra to one of international standing. He was demanding and meticulous in rehearsal,his scores marked in different colours; however, his performances often differed from one concert to the next. Silvestri made his debut at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden with Khovanshchina in the Shostakovich version (in an English translation by Edward Downes) in June 1963. He became a British citizen in 1967 shortly before his growing reputation was cut short by increasing ill health, and he died of cancer at the age of 55. His last concert was in Exeter on 29 November 1968, and there is a memorial at St Peter's Church in Bournemouth. At least three biographies are availableon Silvestri, by Eugen Pricope, John Gritten and Ioana Raluca Voicu-Arnăuţoiu. King's College London holds a substantial documentary archive of his life and work. Recording In Romania and Eastern Europe, before moving to the West, Silvestri made around 20 LPs, often of repertoire he did not subsequently re-record. Recordings for which he is particularly well known include Edward Elgar's Overture In the South (Alassio), and Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony. His recordings received a First Prize from the Académie Charles Cros (for Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No.9, "From the New World") and the Grand Prix du Disque (for George Enescu’s Dixtuor for Winds).Silvestri conducted and recorded with many of the world's finest orchestras, such as the Berlin Philharmonic, Philharmonia, Concertgebouw, Paris Conservatoire Orchestra, Suisse Romande, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra,. In addition to commercial recordings, the BBC Legends label has issued six CDs of radio performances from the 1960s with Silvestri conducting the Bournemouth Orchestra. In 2013, EMI re-issued most of his recordings with that company in a 15-disc set in which one reviewer noted the performances' “consistent character and quality”. Compositions Silvestri also composed over 40 orchestral, chamber and vocal works. These include Prelude and Fugue (Toccata), Sonata quasi una fantasia, Op 19,No 2 (1940), Chants Nostalgiques, Op 27, No 1 (1944), String Quartet, Op 27, No 2 (1944), Sonata for solo harp, Three Pieces for Strings, Op 4, No 2 (1933), and Romanian Dances from Transylvania, Op 4, No 1 (1930).

Ernest Carleton Bass, best-known as Carleton Bass, born 1876 in Ireland, was a notorious bullfighter who billed himself in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as the "first North American bullfighter." In reality, he was an Irish immigrant who never became an American citizen, and his anemic bullfighting skill led to him being booed from bullfighting rings in Mexico. Though he had learned some swordfighting and bullfighting skills in Spain before his arrival in the United States, he was a poor fighter. In 1903, he suffered an attack of nerves before a fight in Mexico and failed to fight.

Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis, ( Alexandros Arnoldos Konstantinos Isigonis; 18 November 1906 – 2 October 1988) was an English-Greek designer of cars, widely noted for the groundbreaking and influential development of the Mini, launched by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) in 1959, and in 1999 voted the second most influential car of the twentieth century. Early life Alec Issigonis was born 18 November 1906, into the Greek cosmopolitan community of the Ottoman port Smyrna (now İzmir, Turkey) in Asia Minor. The son of Greek and German parents, he inherited British citizenship via his father and developed very "English" attitudes.His grandfather Demosthenis migrated to Smyrna from Paros in Greece in the 1830s and through the work he did for the British-built Smyrna-Aydın Railway managed to acquire British nationality. Demosthenis's son (Alec's father) Constantine Issigonis (), was born, with British nationality, in Smyrna in 1872. Constantine studied in England. Alec's mother, Hulda Prokopp, could trace her origins back to Württemberg (now part of Germany). It was through his mother's kinships that Issigonis was a first cousin once removed to BMW (and more briefly Volkswagen) director Bernd Pischetsrieder. Because Alec and his parents were British subjects, they were evacuated to Maltaby British Royal Marines in September 1922, ahead of the Great Fire of Smyrna and the Turkish capture of Smyrna at the end of the Greco-Turkish War. Following the death of his father in 1922, Alec and his mother moved to the UK in 1923. Alec studied engineering at Battersea Polytechnic in London. He failed his mathematics exams three times and subsequently called pure mathematics 'the enemy of every creative genius'. After Battersea Polytechnic, Alec decided to enter the University of London External Programme to complete his university education. Career Issigonis went into the motor industry as an engineer andof a good motor car with a price suitable for the working classes – in contrast to the Mini which was a spartan mode of conveyance with everything cut to the bone. Issigonis often commented to friends and colleagues that the Austin 1800 (ADO17) was the design he was most proud of, even though it never was as commercially successful as his three preceding designs. Sir Alec officially retired from the motor industry in 1971, although he continued working until shortly before his death. Death and commemorations He died in 1988 at his house in Edgbaston, Birmingham, and was crematedat the Lodge Hill Crematorium in nearby Selly Oak. On 15 October 2006 a rally was held at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, England, to celebrate the centenary of Sir Alec's birth. There is a road named "Alec Issigonis Way" in Oxford Business Park on the former site of the Morris Motors factory in Cowley, Oxford. Honours In the 1964 Queen's Birthday Honours, Issigonis was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his role as Technical Director of the British Motor Corporation. In the 1969 Queen's Birthday Honours, he was appointed a KnightBachelor in recognition of his role as Technical Director of British Leyland Motor Corporation Ltd, and therefore granted the title Sir. On 22 July 1969, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace. In 1964, Issigonis was appointed a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1967.

Susumu Ishii (石井 進 Ishii Susumu; 1924–1991) a.k.a. 石井 隆匡 was the second kaicho (godfather) of the Inagawa-kai yakuza gang in Japan. He was also fifth socho of the Yokosuka-ikka. Ishii was born in Yokosuka in 1924. In World War II, he was assigned to a kaiten unit of the Japanese Navy but was not given the chance to take part in a suicide attack. After the war, he became a yakuza and joined the Inagawa-kai in 1958. He rose to the number two position in that gang, but was imprisoned for a gambling scam from 1978 to 1984. Afterserving his time in prison Ishii spoke to the media, saying; "We cannot succeed in the yakuza world unless we are active and aggressive until our early forties. After that, we have to adapt our lives to ordinary society. We cannot always be so forceful." His house remains in Yokosuka city, a three-storey, brick house in French, Greek and Italian styles. Ishii had ownership of a golf club. Iwama Country Club was 36 holes, luxurious golf course. Ishii gathered the wealthiest of Japan and asked them to buy member ship fees that cost over two hundred thousand dollars. The golfcourse was a big success, bringing millions to Ishii. He was released from prison at the start of Japan's bubble economy. Through various loans, banking deals, and real estate scams, he accumulated assets of over $4 billion which he invested in projects around the world, including in Korea and the United States. In 1989, his group even hired Prescott Bush, George H. W. Bush's brother, as an advisor (Bush denies knowing his clients' criminal background). At that time, the yakuza were all about money and violence. If the yakuza had any sort of problems they either paid people off orsorted out their problems with violence. However the way Ishii viewed things was different compared to the typical yakuza. Ishii never favored violence and whenever he came across a problem he would always think and talk his way out of problems. Ishii did not use violence or money to solve any of his problems. Ishii also did not receive money from anyone when others wanted to resolve a problem with him or his clan. Ishii changed the overall image of the Japanese yakuza with his words. The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper stated, "Almost every money transaction was related to Susumu Ishiiin the 80s and 90s." Ishii's money went overseas as well. He invested in hotels in Monaco, Hong Kong and America. In total he invested 700 million dollars around the world. Throughout various investments he was able to have successful international relations and grow his money. Ishii was known as the "World's Richest Gangster" or "The Gangster With the Golden Touch". Everything he touched changed into millions of dollars. But as the Japanese economic bubble burst, Ishii was no longer "the world's richest gangster". His assets and his health declined rapidly, and in September 1990 he retired as kumicho''. He

Early and personal life Bohne was born Samuel Arthur Cohen to Louis Cohen in San Francisco, California. As Bohne was Jewish and bore the surname Cohen, according to author John Rosengren, the Cincinnati Reds persuaded him to change his surname to the non-Jewish-sounding Bohne because the Reds' front office "brain trust" didn't believe the city's largely German population would welcome a player named Cohen. He diedin Palo Alto, California. Baseball career Minor leagues In 1915 and part of 1916 (when he also played for the Tacoma Tigers and made his major league debut with the Cardinals) he played in the minor leagues for the San Francisco Seals, and in 1917 he played for the American Association Milwaukee Brewers and the St. Paul Saints. In 1919 he played for the Oakland Oaks, and in 1920 he played for the Seattle Rainiers for whom he batted .333 in 177 games. After his career in the major leagues concluded, he played for the Minneapolis Millers from 1927 to1929, leading the club with 23 stolen bases in 1927. Major leagues In 1916, when he made his major league debut with the St. Louis Cardinals, he was the second-youngest player in the National League, behind Ed Sicking. In approximately 1917, he was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals with a player to be named later (Bob Bescher), Paddy Livingston, and cash to Milwaukee of the American Association for Marv Goodwin. He played for the Cincinnati Reds from 1921 to 1926. In 1921, he was fourth in the NL in stolen bases (26), sixth in triples (16), and ninth inruns (98) and walks (54). In 1923, he was ninth in the NL in stolen bases (16). In 1926 he played the bulk of the season for the Brooklyn Robins. In 663 games over seven seasons, Bohne posted a .261 batting average (605-for-2315) with 309 runs, 87 doubles, 45 triples, 16 home runs, 228 RBI, 75 stolen bases, 193 bases on balls, .321 on-base percentage and .359 slugging percentage.

Most parts of the river are covered by primary and secondary forests. Conservation efforts The river is home to various habitat including plant, bird and insect species. Its trail in Mount Kinabalu National Park is considered to be a preeminent birder's trail. The trail varies between open vistas and dense thickets, but is predominantly open, skirting the ridge-top as it goes along the north side of the river gorge. Someof the bird species include chlamydochaera jefferyi, chlorocharis emiliae emiliae, eumyias indigo cerviniventris, harpactes whiteheadi, megalaima pulcherrima, napothera crassa Luzon and zosterops atricapilla. Several insects species such as the graphelmis bandukanensis, liparthum, stalk-eyed fly (teleopsis) and myrmarachne mariaelenae also found within the river. The intensive agricultural activities in Kundasang Valley area near the upstream of the river basin however has causing problems concerning the river water quality.

The Basilica of Santa Maria is the main temple and the most important historical building of Igualada, province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Santa Maria church origin is from the 11th century, but the current building is mainly from the 17th century. Origin and history The church of Santa Maria, also known as the "big church" (in Catalan language "Església Gran"), is the most important historical building of Igualada, capital of the Anoia comarca. The first settlement of Igualada is dated around year 1000, in the location were the current church lies today, which was at that time a crossing ofof the Evangelists, painted by Miquel Llacuna. Regarding the exterior, it is covered with an octagonal dome. In the apse there is the altarpiece with the image of Saint Christ of Igualada, a reproduction of a 14th-century Gothic carving, which disappeared during the civil war. Two murals painted by Camps Dalmases evoke the miracle of Christ's blood sweat, which according to tradition took place in Igualada in 1590. Main Altarpiece The main altarpiece is possibly the most important element of the church. Although construction began in the 18th century, the work was not completed until the end of that century,Roch and Saint Faust, linked to the traditional prayerbook of Igualada. Both figures are flanked by four musician angels, typical of the baroque imagery. Among them, the angel which plays the guitar is considered an almost unique specimen in the religious iconography of the period. At the upper floor, the altar is crowned by the figure of St. Bartholomew, patron of Igualada, the Sun and the gates of Jerusalem. Symbolically, all the altarpiece is sustained by four Atlas made of marble, representing the four seasons of the year. The side walls have two sculptural panels, crowned by the emblem ofsweat in Igualada, which took place in 1590. The baptistery, of modernist aesthetics, is the work of Ignasi Colomer, and is located on the left of the entrance. The crypt beneath the chancel was built after the civil war, from a project of Cèsar Martinell. At the exterior of the main facade there are two plaques that commemorate the participation of Igualada citizens at the Battle of the Bruch. The mixture of elements that make up Santa Maria is the result of various building stages and is the consequence of historical vicissitudes. A visit to the church is like a

The League for Independent Political Action (LIPA) was an American political organization established in late November or early December 1928 in New York City. The organization, which brought together liberals and socialists, was seen as a coordinating agency for a new political party in the United States. No such party was forthcoming, however, and the group remained in existence as a small membership organization into the middle years of the 1930s, when it was gradually rendered obsolete by the move to the New Deal by Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democratic Party. The organization was terminated in 1936. Organizational historyEstablishment Within a month after the 1928 Presidential election which saw the election of Herbert Hoover as President of the United States, a number of prominent liberals and socialists gathered in New York City to assess the American political situation. Those gathered agreed on the need for a new political party in America bringing together progressives around a common program. Additional meetings were subsequently held at which a platform was written and a name given to the new organization — the League for Independent Political Action (LIPA). This name appears to have been borrowed wholesale from the official organization backthe "general and far reaching industrial transformation" which the United States had experienced. It further called upon "forward-looking people in existing political parties and independent of existing parties" to join together in a "new party based on the principle of increasing social control" over industrial production and product distribution. Program General principles which the group espoused included government takeover of "strategic industries which are now being grossly mismanaged by private interests," including public utilities, coal mines, and the transportation system. LIPA was critical of the unequal distribution of wealth in the United States, declaring that the present system allowed "sometrade unionists, and political activists. In states with no functioning third parties already in the field, these state conferences were envisioned as the catalyst for the formation of new state political parties. The Chairman of the LIPA from its earliest days was philosopher John Dewey. Dewey attempted to jumpstart the political power of the organization by bringing in sitting U.S. Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, writing the progressive Midwesterner on December 23, 1930 and asking him to renounce both of the "old parties" and helping to give birth to a new political party based upon the principles of planningthe Cleveland Public Library.

Academic achievement In 2017, Shikellamy School District ranked 263rd out of 494 Pennsylvania public school districts, by the Pittsburgh Business Times. The ranking is based on the last 3 years of student academic achievement as demonstrated by PSSAs results in: reading, writing, math and science and the three Keystone Exams (literature, Algebra 1, Biology I) in high school. Three school districts were excluded because they do not operate high schools (Saint Clair Area School District, Midland BoroughSchool District, Duquesne City School District). The PSSAs are given to all children in grades 3rd through 8th. Adapted PSSA examinations are given to children in the special education programs. Writing exams were given to children in 5th and 8th grades. 2016 - 276th 2015 - 324th 2014 - 363rd 2013 - 334th 2012 - 371st 2011 - 334th 2010 - 383rd 2009 - 380th 2008 - 425th 2007 - 434th out of 501 school districts. Overachievers ranking The Pittsburgh Business Times also reported an Overachievers Ranking for 498 Pennsylvania school districts. Shikellamy ranked 352nd in 2010. In 2009, thedistrict was 397th. The paper describes the ranking as: "a ranking answers the question - which school districts do better than expectations based upon economics? This rank takes the Honor Roll rank and adds the percentage of students in the district eligible for free and reduced-price lunch into the formula. A district finishing high on this rank is smashing expectations, and any district above the median point is exceeding expectations." Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit Program In July 2012, the Pennsylvania Department of Education released a report identifying two Shikellamy School District schools as among the lowest-achieving schools for reading andmathematics in 2011. Grace S. Beck School and Chief Shikellamy School were on the 15% lowest-achieving schools in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In 2013, Chief Shikellamy School was once again listed. Parents may be eligible for scholarships to transfer to another public or nonpublic school through the state's Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit Program passed in June 2012. The scholarships are limited to those students whose family's income is less than $60,000 annually, with another $12,000 allowed per dependent. Maximum scholarship award is $8,500, with special education students receiving up to $15,000 for a year's tuition. Parents pay any difference betweenthe scholarship amount and the receiving school's tuition rate. Students may seek admission to neighboring public school districts. Each year, the Pennsylvania Department of Education publishes the tuition rate for each individual public school district. The two Shikellamy schools were the only ones in Northumberland County on the list. According to the state report, parents in 414 public schools (74 school districts) were offered access to these scholarships. For the 2012-13 school year, seven public school districts in Pennsylvania had all of their schools placed on the list, including: Sto-Rox School District, Chester Upland School District, Clairton City School District,Duquesne City School District, Farrell Area School District, Wilkinsburg Borough School District and Steelton-Highspire School District. Funding for the scholarships comes from donations by businesses which receive a state tax credit for donating. In 2015 and 2016, Chief Shikellamy School remained on the statewide lowest academic achievement list. District AYP status In 2012, Shikellamy School District declined to Warning Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) status due to missing all but 1 academic metric measured in: reading, math and graduation rate. In school years 2011 and 2010, Shikellamy School District achieved Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) status. In 2011, 94 percent of the500 Pennsylvania public school districts achieved the No Child Left Behind Act progress level of 72% of students reading on grade level and 67% of students demonstrating on grade level math. In 2011, 46.9 percent of Pennsylvania school districts achieved Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) based on student performance. An additional 37.8 percent of school districts made AYP based on a calculated method called safe harbor, 8.2 percent on the growth model and 0.8 percent on a two-year average performance. School districts can achieve AYP even though their individual schools do not. For example: Shikellamy High School is in Corrective ActionII in 2011. Shikellamy student proficiency in reading, math and science has trailed other students both in the region and in the state. The Shikellamy School District was in the bottom 17th percentile in the state, for academic achievement in 2009. Graduation rate In 2017, Shikellamy School District's graduation rate declined to 84.1%. 2016 - 86.14% 2015 - 84.31%. 2014 - improved to 82%. 2013 - 78%. 2012 - declined to 77%. 2011 - 79%. 2010 - 79.25%, in 2010, the Pennsylvania Department of Education issued a new, 4-year cohort graduation rate. 2009 - 78% 2008 - 84% 2007 -78% 2006 - 83% 2005 - 81% Dr. Alan Lonoconus, then Superintendent of the Shikellamy School District, in a December 2007 interview on WKOK's Leaders and Lawmakers radio show said, "Where I envision us going is a lot of new curriculum revisions. With the State standards and everything we have to do with the state and Federal No Child Left Behind regulations, we have to really ramp up what we are doing." In October 2009, Dr Lonoconus announced his resignation effective in November 2009. The district's policy is that if a student does not achieve proficiency on the PSSAs, aretest will be administered during the senior year for deficient subject areas. Failure to achieve proficiency in the retest requires a passing grade on a final examination and a passing course grade for any and all deficient subject areas reported by the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment. The student must pass both the course and the final examination in order to graduate. If a student fails to show evidence of this proficiency, the student can achieve a Shikellamy diploma by passing a summer school course or by returning for an additional school year to achieve a passing grade. The curriculumis currently under revision to align it with the 1999 Pennsylvania State Academic Standards. These standards are assessed in the third through eighth and eleventh grades under the guise of the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment. These tests last several days and cover Reading, Writing, Speaking, Mathematics and Science. Revision of the Shikellamy School District's mathematics curriculum, to bring it into compliance with Chapter 4 regulations of 2000, was to begin in fall 2007. The poor academic performance of students in the district is evident beginning in 3rd grade with three of the four elementary schools far below the stateaverage for reading. Oaklyn Elementary School achieved 81% of 3rd graders on grade level in reading in 2009. Mathematics scores, for 3rd graders, were similarly low with Grace S. Beck School having 55% on grade level in math, in 2009. It was the lowest-performing school in the IU16 region. On the whole, 81% of Pennsylvania's third graders were on grade level in mathematics in 2009. In the local region's school 87% were on grade level.

State - 83% Special education In December 2015, the district administration reported that 542 pupils, or 19% of the district's pupils, received special education services, with 42% of the identified students having a specific learning disability. In 2013, Shikellamy School District administration reported that 514 pupils, or 17.2% of the district's pupils, received special education services, with 42.4% of the identified students having a specific learning disability. In 2011, the Shikellamy School District administration reported that 469 pupils, or 15.7% of the district's pupils, received special education services, with 41% of the identified students having a specificlearning disability. In 2009, Shikellamy School District administration reported that 423 pupils, or 14.6% of the district's pupils, received special education services, with 40.7% of the identified students having a specific learning disability. Special education services in the Commonwealth are provided to students from ages three years to 21 years old. In the 2010-11 school year, the total student enrollment was more than 1.78 million students with approximately 275,000 students eligible for special education services. Among these students 18,959 were identified with mental retardation and 21,245 students with autism. The largest group of students are identified as Specific Learning Disabilities126,026 students (46.9 percent) and Speech or Language Impairments with 43,542 students (16.2 percent). In 2007, Pennsylvania Secretary of Education Gerald Zahorchak testified before the Pennsylvania House Education Committee regarding full-day kindergarten. He claimed that districts which offered the program would see a significant decrease in special education students due to early identification and early intervention. He asserted the high cost of full-day kindergarten would be recouped by districts in lower special education costs. Shikellamy School District has offered full-day kindergarten since 2003. Shikellamy School District has seen an increase in the percentage of special education students it serves andhas repeatedly sought an exception to raise taxes due to escalating special education costs. Full-day kindergarten has yielded no savings. In order to comply with state and federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act rules and regulations, the school district engages in identification procedures to ensure that eligible students receive an appropriate educational program consisting of special education and related services, individualized to meet student needs. At no cost to the parents, these services are provided in compliance with state and federal law; and are reasonably calculated to yield meaningful educational benefit and student progress. To identify students who may beeligible for special education services, various screening activities are conducted on an ongoing basis. These screening activities include: review of group-based data (cumulative records, enrollment records, health records, report cards, ability and achievement test scores); hearing, vision, motor, and speech/language screening; and review by the Special Education administration. When screening results suggest that the student may be eligible, the district seeks parental consent to conduct a multidisciplinary evaluation. Parents who suspect their child is eligible may verbally request a multidisciplinary evaluation from a professional employee of the district or contact the district's Special Education Department. By Pennsylvania law, the districthas 60 calendar days, after receiving parental consent, to complete the evaluation. The IDEA 2004 requires each school entity to publish a notice to parents, in newspapers or other media, including the student handbook and website regarding the availability of screening and intervention services and how to access them. Students who have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) may take the PSSA-M an alternative math exam rather than the PSSA. Some special education students may take the PASA (Pennsylvania Alternate System of Assessment), rather than the PSSA. Schools are permitted to provide accommodations to some students. In 2012, the Obama Administration'sUS Department of Education issued a directive requiring schools include students with disabilities in extracurricular activities, including sports. In 2010, the state of Pennsylvania provided $1,026,815,000 for special education services. This funding is in addition to the state's basic education per pupil funding, as well as, all other state and federal funding. The Special Education funding structure is through the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funds and state appropriations. IDEA funds are appropriated to the state on an annual basis and distributed through intermediate units (IUs) to school districts, while state funds are distributed directly to the districts.Total funds that are received by school districts are calculated through a formula. The Pennsylvania Department of Education oversees four appropriations used to fund students with special needs: Special Education; Approved Private Schools; Pennsylvania Chartered Schools for the Deaf and Blind; and Early Intervention. The Pennsylvania Special Education funding system assumes that 16% of the district's students receive special education services. It also assumes that each student's needs accrue the same level of costs. Over identification of students, in order to increase state funding, has been an issue in the Commonwealth. Some districts have more than 20% of its studentsreceiving special education services while others have 10% supported through special education. The state requires each public school district and charter school to have a three-year special education plan to meet the unique needs of its special education students. In 2012, the Obama Administration's US Department of Education issued a directive that schools include students with disabilities in extracurricular activities, including sports. The Shikellamy School District (SSD) received a $1,769,952 supplement for special education services in 2010. For the 2011–12, 2012–13 and 2013-14 school years, all Pennsylvania public school districts received the same level of funding for special education thatCommonwealth. The cost of special education programs is borne largely on a local basis at 60%, with the state contributing $1 billion or 30% and the federal government providing 10% of the funding. Gifted education The District Administration reported that 31 or 1.09% of its students were gifted in 2009. The highest percentage of gifted students reported among all 500 school districts and 100 public charter schools in Pennsylvania was North Allegheny School District with 15.5% of its students identified as gifted. By law, the district must provide mentally gifted programs at all grade levels. The referral process for agifted evaluation can be initiated by teachers or parents by contacting the student's building principal and requesting an evaluation. All requests must be made in writing. To be eligible for mentally gifted programs in Pennsylvania, a student must have a cognitive ability of at least 130 as measured on a standardized ability test by a certified school psychologist. Other factors that indicate giftedness will also be considered for eligibility. Budget Pennsylvania public school districts budget and expend funds according to procedures mandated by the General Assembly and the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE). An annual operating budget is prepared byschool district administrative officials. A uniform form is furnished by the PDE and submitted to the board of school directors for approval prior to the beginning of each fiscal year on July 1. Under Pennsylvania's Taxpayer Relief Act, Act 1 of the Special Session of 2006, all school districts of the first class A, second class, third class and fourth class must adopt a preliminary budget proposal. The proposal must include estimated revenues and expenditures and the proposed tax rates. This proposed budget must be considered by the board no later than 90 days prior to the date of theand that reduced staffing by 24 positions. Beginning in 2011-12, the sixth grades will remain at the elementary schools, while seventh and eighth grades will be provided at the high school. The high school has been overstaffed, according to Superintendent Robin Musto, with 24 teachers not working a full teaching schedule and having 2 or more planning periods each day. Additionally, class size at the high school has been as low as 9 pupils for 15% of the classes, while many classes have 10-15 students. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Education, enrollment in the Shikellamy School District has declinedunion. In 2014-15, the district's mandated teacher pension contribution rose to 21.40% of employee salaries and in 2015-16 it rose again to 25.84% of total salaries. Shikellamy School District teacher and administrator retirement benefits are equal to at least 2.00% x Final Average Salary x Total Credited Service. (Some teachers benefits utilize a 2.50% benefit factor.) After 40 years of service, a teacher can retire with 100% of the average salary of their final 3 years of employment. According to a study conducted at the American Enterprise Institute, in 2011, public school teachers’ total compensation is roughly 50 percent higherthan they would likely receive in the private sector.

Additionally, the teachers receive a defined benefit pension, health insurance (teachers contribute $1,650 per year towards the premium), Vision insurance, dental insurance, professional development courses reimbursement, 3 paid personal days, 10 paidsick days, and other benefits. As of 2007, Pennsylvania ranked in the top 10 states in average teacher salaries.

The district also reported zero in its unreserved-designated fund in 2010. Pennsylvania public school district reserve funds are divided into two categories – designated and undesignated. The undesignated funds are not committed to any planned project. Designated funds and any other funds, such as capital reserves, are allocated to specific projects. School districts are required by state law to keep 5 percent of their annual spending in the undesignatedreserve funds to preserve bond ratings. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Education, from 2003 to 2010, as a whole, Pennsylvania school districts amassed nearly $3 billion in reserved funds.

A student living in a neighboring public school district or a foreign exchange student may seek admission to ShikellamySchool District. For these cases, the Pennsylvania Department of Education sets an annual tuition rate for each school district. It is the amount the public school district pays to a charter school for each resident student that attends the charter and it is the amount a nonresident student's parents must pay to attend the district's schools. The 2012 tuition rates are Elementary School - $8,489.68, High School - $9,786.03.Assessment appealIn June 2014, Viking Energy won an appeal of its closed power plant's property assessment.

The Shikellamy School District is funded by a combination of: a local Occupation Tax, an earned income tax 0.5%, 2 per capita taxes $10, a property tax, a real estate transfer tax 0.5%, coupled with substantial funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the federal government. Grants can provide an opportunity to supplement school funding without raising local taxes. Interest earnings on accounts also provide nontax income to the district. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, pension income and Social Security income are exempted from state personal income tax and localearned income tax, regardless of the level of the individual's personal wealth. The average Pennsylvania public school teacher pension in 2011 exceeds $60,000 a year plus they receive federal Social Security benefits: both are free of Pennsylvania state income tax and local income tax which funds local public schools. State basic education funding According to a report from Representative Todd Stephens office, Shikellamy School District receives 46.2% of its annual district revenue from the state.

It abolished the practice of "hold harmless" funding, which gave districts at least the same as they got the previous school year regardless of declining enrollment. The plan became law in June 2016 (House Bill 1552).York Dispatch, Governor Wolf Signs Fair Funding Formula, June 2016For the 2017-18 school year, Shikellamy School District received an increase to $12,664,245 in Basic Education Funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

This was the second year of Governor Rendell's policy to fund some public school districts at a far greater rate than others. In 2010, Shikellamy School District reported that 1,264 pupils received a free or reduced-price lunch due to the family meeting the federal poverty level.For the 2009-10 budget year, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania provided a 5.38% increase in Basic Education Funding, to the ShikellamySchool District, for a total of $12,213,894. The Pennsylvania Department of Education gave 15 public school districts an increase of Basic Education Funding of over 10% in the 2009-10 budget. Ninety (90) Pennsylvania public school districts received the base 2% increase. Muhlenberg School District of Berks County received the highest percentage increase in Pennsylvania for 2009 at 22.31%. The amount of increase each public school district received was set by Governor Edward G. Rendell and the Secretary of Education Gerald Zahorchak, as a part of the state budget proposal. The state Basic Education Funding to the Shikellamy School District in2008-09 was $11,589,863.77.

Shikellamy School District was one of 161PA public school districts to apply, receiving $89,527 funding over three years.Robert Hayes Postupac, PROJECT 720: A CASE STUDY OF HIGH SCHOOL REFORM, University of Pittsburgh, 2011 For 2010-11, Project 720 funding was decreased to $1.7 million by Governor Rendell. The grant program was discontinued effective with the 2011-12 state budget. Accountability Block Grants Beginning in 2004-2005, the state launched the Accountability Block Grant school funding. This program has provided $1.5 billion to Pennsylvania's school districts. The Accountability Block Grant program requires that its taxpayer dollars are focused on specific interventions that are most likely to increase student academic achievement.These interventions include: teacher training, all-day kindergarten, lower class size K-3rd grade, literacy and math coaching programs that provide teachers with individualized job-embedded professional development to improve their instruction, before or after school tutoring assistance to struggling students, For 2010-11, Shikellamy School District applied for and received $565,158, in addition to all other state and federal funding. The district used the funding to provide full-day kindergarten and to increase instructional time for struggling pupils. Ready to Learn grant Beginning in the 2014-2015 budget, the State funded a new Ready to Learn Grant for public schools. A total of $100 millionis allocated through a formula to districts based on the number of students, level of poverty of community as calculated by its market value/personal income aid ratio (MV/PI AR) and the number of English language learners. Ready to Learn Block Grant funds may be used by the districts for: school safety; Ready by 3 early childhood intervention programs; individualized learning programs; and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs. Shikellamy School District received $208,520 in Ready to Learn Grant dollars in addition to State Basic Education funding, Special Education funding, Accountability Block Grant funding, PreK Counts funding, reimbursement for SocialSecurity payments for employees and other state grants which the district must apply to receive. 2016-17 - $530,067. 2017-18 - $530,067 Education Assistance grant The state's EAP funding provides for the continuing support of tutoring services and other programs to address the academic needs of eligible students. Funds are available to eligible school districts and full-time career and technology centers (CTC) in which one or more schools have failed to meet at least one academic performance target, as provided for in Section 1512-C of the Pennsylvania Public School Code. In 2010-2011, the Shikellamy School District received $113,404. Classrooms for theFuture grant The Classroom for the Future state program provided districts with hundreds of thousands of extra state funding to buy laptop computers for each core curriculum high school class (English, Science, History, Math) and paid for teacher training to optimize the computers use. The state grant requires the district hire a part-time technology coach, whose role is to assist the teachers in using the equipment and software effectively to improve their instruction. The salary is covered by the grant. The program was funded from 2006-2009. Shikellamy School District was denied funding in 2006-07. In 2007-08, Shikellamy School District received$316,667. Shikellamy School District received another $57,023 in 2008-09 for a total of $373,690. The grant program was discontinued by Governor Edward Rendell as part of the 2009-10 state budget. 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Shikellamy School District was designated as a before and after school program provider. They receive state funding through grant of $496,000. CCLCs provide academic, artistic and cultural enhancement activities to students and their families when school is not in session. In 2010, the program served 160 students. In July 2012, Shikellamy was awarded a second grant funding of $400,000. Other grants The Shikellamy SchoolDistrict did not participate in: Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Environmental Education annual grants; PA Science Its Elementary grants (discontinued effective with 2009-2010 budget by Governor Rendell); the 2012 and 2013 Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy grant; 2013 Safe Schools and Resource Officer grants, 2012 and 2013 Pennsylvania Hybrid Learning Grants. Federal Stimulus funding Shikellamny School District received over $2.3 million in ARRA (Federal Stimulus) funding. This is in addition to all regular state and federal funding. Federal Stimulus money was to be used in specific programs like special education and meeting the academic needs of low-income students. The funding waswritten consent of the school board, the school administration and the teachers' union. In Pennsylvania, 120 public school districts and 56 charter schools agreed to participate. Pennsylvania was not approved for the grant. The failure of districts to agree to participate was cited as one reason that Pennsylvania was not approved. Common Cents state initiative The Shikellamy School Board decided to not participate in the Pennsylvania Department of Education Common Cents program. The program called for the state to audit the district, at no cost to local taxpayers, to identify ways the district could save tax dollars. After the reviewof the information, the district was not required to implement the recommended cost savings changes. Real estate taxes Shikellamy School District property tax rate in 2018-19 was increased again to 91.0000 mills. In 2013, one mill of real estate taxes was set aside for future construction while 2 mills went to increase funding in the school year budget. A mill is $1 of tax for every $1,000 of a property's assessed value. Irregular property reassessments have become a serious issue in the commonwealth as it creates a significant disparity in taxation within a community and across a region. Unlike otherstates, under Pennsylvania state tax policy, natural gas and oil pipelines are exempted from property taxes. Shikellamy School District is adversely impacted by the Atlantic Sunrise pipeline. Pipeline companies prohibit development within the 100-foot-wide right-of-way, there by limiting future development options for the landowner. This limits future potential property tax revenues for the school district, by constraining future land development. On the local level, Pennsylvania district revenues are dominated by two main sources: 1) Property tax collections, which account for the vast majority (between 75-85%) of local revenues; and 2) Act 511 tax collections, which are around 15% of revenuesfor school districts. When a Pennsylvania public school district includes municipalities in two or more counties, each of which has different rates of property tax assessment, a state board equalizes the tax rates between the counties. In 2010, miscalculations by the State Tax Equalization Board (STEB) were widespread in the Commonwealth and adversely impacted funding for many school districts, including those that did not cross county borders like Shikellamy School District The error was not corrected by the PDE. 2017-18 - 89.0000 mills. 2016-17 - 87.0000 mills. 2015-16 - 85.0000 mills. 2014-15 - 83.2500 mills. The vote was 6-3. 2013-14- 81.0000 mills 2012-13 - 78.0000 mills. 2011-12 - 78.0000 mills. 2010-11 - 72.5000 mills. 2009-10 - 69.0000 mills. 2008-09 - 67.0000 mills. 2007-08 - 62.5000 mills. 2006-07 - 59.0000 mills. 2005-06 - 55.7500 mills. The average yearly property tax paid by Northumberland County residents amounts to about 2.23% of their yearly income. Northumberland County ranked 1219th out of the 3143 United States counties for property taxes as a percentage of median income. According to a report prepared by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the total real estate taxes collected by all public school districts in Pennsylvania rose from $6,474,133,936in 1999-00 to $10,438,463,356 in 2008-09 and to $11,153,412,490 in 2011. Property taxes in Pennsylvania are relatively high on a national scale. According to the Tax Foundation, Pennsylvania ranked 11th in the U.S. in 2008 in terms of property taxes paid as a percentage of home value (1.34%) and 12th in the country in terms of property taxes as a percentage of income (3.55%). Act 1 Adjusted index The Act 1 of 2006 Index regulates the rates at which each school district can raise property taxes in Pennsylvania. Districts are not allowed to raise taxes above that index unless theyaverage weekly wage, as determined by the PA Department of Labor and Industry, for the preceding calendar year and the percentage increase in the Employment Cost Index for Elementary and Secondary Schools, as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S. Department of Labor, for the previous 12-month period ending June 30. For a school district with a market value/personal income aid ratio (MV/PI AR) greater than 0.4000, its index equals the base index multiplied by the sum of .75 and its MV/PI AR for the current year. The School District Adjusted Index for the Shikellamy School Districtadopted a resolution to not exceed their Act I index in 2017-18. In 2017-18, all Pennsylvania public school districts were required to make a 32.85% of payroll payment to the teacher's pension fund (PSERS).

The Lada 4×4, formerly called the Lada Niva or VAZ-2121 (; Niva (нива) is the Russian word for "field" but meaning crop field), is an off-road vehicle designed and produced by the Russian (former Soviet) manufacturer AvtoVAZ specifically for the rural market, although models made for urban use are sold. It was the first mass-production off-road vehicle to combine a unibody architecture with a coil-sprung independent front suspension, and is a predecessor to current crossover SUVs, nearly all of which follow this format; it inspired the Suzuki Vitara. Like the Vitara, the Lada 4×4 uses a recirculating-ball truck steering boxfor off-road reliability. Pickup and emergency-van versions are produced by VAZInterService. Following the demise of the Land Rover Defender in 2016, the Niva is the longest running four wheel drive vehicle still in production in its original form. Name The Lada 4×4 was formerly called the Lada Niva, or the VAZ-2121 in the domestic Russian market. The name change occurred after the Niva brand was transferred to General Motors, though AvtoVAZ retains the rights to the equivalent Cyrillic name, "Нива". It was also marketed as the Lada Sport in Iceland, Lada Taiga in Austria, Bognor Diva in Uruguay, and LadaCossack in the United Kingdom. Since 2014, it has been sold as the LADA 4×4 in Russia, a name which is also beginning to replace "Niva" in export markets. It was also the first VAZ model, which in additional to the brand's classic export name and the engine displacement, also featured an export name of the model itself (Niva); previous models (the Zhiguli) only featured the brand's export name, Lada, followed by the engine displacement. Also, the Niva was the only VAZ model to use the same model name for both domestic and export markets (VAZ-2121 Niva for domestic, andLada Niva 1600 for export); the other models had export names different from the names used in the domestic market (for example, the VAZ-2109 Sputnik was the Lada Samara 1500 for export, and the VAZ-2105 Zhiguli, was marked as the Lada Riva 1300 outside the USSR). History The Niva was described by its designers as a "Renault 5 put on a Land Rover chassis" Development began in 1971, after the 24th Congress of CPSU, where Alexei Kosygin (the then-Premier of the Soviet Union) gave the designers at VAZ and AZLK the task of creating a car suitable for rural areasfollowing year on 5 April 1977, while the first export models appeared in 1978 at the Paris Motor Salon and rapidly captured at least 40% of Europe's market for four-wheel drive vehicles, making it Lada's top-selling export. Moreover, it became the only Soviet car that was ever sold in Japan, starting from early 1980s, inspiring their Suzuki Samurai. Because of export demand and the higher priority given to exports, domestic customers faced long waiting lists, despite the fact that the car was developed primarily for the Soviet people, as mentioned above. Initially, the Niva had a normally aspirated 1.6-l overhead-camfour-cylinder petrol engine producing 56 kW (76 hp) and 126 N·m (93 lb·ft) at 5,000 rpm, a four-speed manual transmission (starting with new model from 1994, a five-speed), and a full-time four-wheel drive. The drive system employs three differentials (center, front, and rear). The transfer case involves a high/low range selector lever and a lever to lock the central differential. Low range can be selected with the center differential locked or unlocked. Like the usual gear shifting, both of the mentioned features naturally require the use of clutch to be properly used (selected). However, while the central differential can becan be set up to make two berths (by removing headrests, shifting the seats into foremost position and setting the backrest in plane with the back seat – this feature later disappeared when the new model with different seats was introduced in 1994). A spare tyre is located in the engine bay under the bonnet. The latter feature is considered a useful and practical feature by off-road fans. Additional equipment for the basic model was rather simple and was equal to other Lada and generally Eastern bloc cars of the period, as it included headlight wipers, rear fog lamp, rightexternal mirror (right mirror for domestic models only, since the export ones had both by default, but at the end of 1980s, even domestic models of all Lada cars also received both mirrors), then rear seat belts, rear (tailgate) window wiper, rear window heater, and a radio set. On new model (Niva 1.7/VAZ-21213) starting from 1994, all those features except headlight wipers and rear fog lamp (which are discontinued) became default and optional is air conditioning, antilock braking system, and hydraulic servomotor for the steering column, which are now becoming parts of standard equipment on the newest models. Foreign (usuallyWestern) local Lada importers often also offered their own additional equipment (mainly for off-roading) prior to buying the car, such as front and rear bull bars and roll bars, side rocker rails, roof rails, winch, fender plastics, additional headlights for front bumper and for roof rails and even aftermarket (aluminium) rims, which can be often seen mounted on many Nivas. The existing model was slightly restyled during first half of 1980s, when VAZ for the first time discontinued one of its models, the VAZ-2103 (which was slowly being replaced with VAZ-2106 since 1975). Some of the chromed elements have disappearedin all future models due to high price and complexity of production, such as, in Niva case, the chromed mask and rocker panel edges, which were removed, as well as external/side mirrors, which became black metallic. Chrome even disappeared from ashtrays and door panel edges. Also, background of front Lada badge was changed to white (later black; on new model) on all models instead of red as until then. Rear Niva 1600 tailgate label (which was originally located in the center of the tailgate) was relocated to its right corner due to rear window wiper, which was, on buyer request,installed onto its former place as additional equipment. Side rear retroreflectors (or turn signals on some models; depended on market) were replaced by Lada (left) and Niva (right) labels and the rear mudflaps received the brand logo on them. Interior was only minimally changed, along with some minor changes to the instrument panel, choke knob, and other details, probably the most notable differences are firstly in its VAZ-2106 steering wheel, which was now decorated with classic Russian ornaments featuring the Lada logo on its central (leather) part and slightly different leather pattern on seats. Those pre-1985 models are visually bestrecognizable by mentioned details and are today extremely rare (in preserved condition almost nonexistent anymore), so are very valued by collectors. The first generation (VAZ-2121 Niva, or Lada Niva 1600 as known commercially) was in production until 1993 (existing in parallel in production with new model until the end of the same year) when the new and more powerful (1.7-l, 80 horsepower) four-cylinder petrol engine (designed purposely for Niva, thus was not used by any other VAZ model until then) was introduced, replacing the previously used (1.6-l, 75-hp) VAZ-2106 engine and making the appearance of the new model (VAZ-21213/21214 orLada Niva 1.7/1.7i), as was the carburetor replaced by single-point fuel injection supplied initially by General Motors on 21214/1.7i model and the usual Weber carburetor was replaced by improved Solex one on 21213/1.7 model. The transmission was changed from four to five speeds, mechanical ignition was replaced with electronic and suspension received some relatively minor changes. The exhaust system was also slightly redesigned, and on newer models, the drive shafts received homokinetic joints instead of usual universal ones. Also, the exterior rear section of the body was redesigned with the tailgate extended and license plate as a part of it(so it could have a lower opening, now bordering with the rear bumper), due to which it also received new, vertical taillights, replacing the former VAZ-2106 horizontal ones and VAZ-2102 chromed tailgate knob, which was replaced by a simple plastic handle (which now opens from interior; below the driver's seat, in contrast to previous which required a side doors key to be opened exclusively from the outside). On newest models, the old hand-adjustable, square black-metallic (previously chromed) side mirrors, which originated from 1970s VAZ-2103 were finally replaced with larger plastic ones featuring automatic adjustment. The previous front Lada badge wasalso replaced with the current and larger one of ellipsoid design. However, the aging Fiat 125 chromed doorknobs are still present, although they are not chromed anymore on newest models, but plastic. Although the rest of the exteriors remained generally unchanged to this day (except for LADA 4×4 URBAN and BRONTO), the interior was, however, almost completely redesigned and shares only a few interchangeable parts with the previous one; the archaic VAZ-2106 steering wheel with chrome elements was replaced with more modern and thicker one, firstly from VAZ-2107 and later even newer, as well as its VAZ-2103/2106 instruments, which werenew front and door panels (with interior door knobs relocated above the handrests instead of under like on previous generation), various plastics and even new floor mats. The hand opening of side-door windows was replaced with automatic on newest models (and on LADA 4×4 URBAN), starting from 2014. Multipoint fuel injection designed by Bosch is used since 2004, replacing the previously mentioned single-point injection from General Motors. In 1993, the lengthened model of Niva appeared for the first time, known as VAZ-2129 and was being produced very briefly (only for about a year) due to which it is very raredifference in name than standard (three-door) model, which is why it is often referred simply as Niva five- door. Due to itds longer wheelbase and thus increased weight, it can use the even more powerful 1774-cc inline four petrol engine, producing 63kW/85 hp. Although still in production like the basic model, it had limited use and is also infrequently exported, mainly due to longer wheelbase and increased weight offering somewhat inferior off-road capabilities, as well as slightly higher price when compared to the standard model. In 2015, the five-door model also appeared for LADA 4×4 URBAN. In 1999, a diesel-enginemodel of Niva appeared for the first time, known as the VAZ-21215 Niva or commercially as the Lada Niva 1.9, which was produced until 2007 and sold only in few markets. It was powered by a 1905-cc Peugeot XUD 9SD inline four diesel engine, delivering 55kW/75 hp, so was slightly less powerful than the standard VAZ-21213/21214 1680-cc petrol engine (it was roughly equal in power to 1568-cc VAZ-2106 engine used by the previous generation). However, the VAZ-21215 was a relatively short-lived model and is not available because, despite much lower fuel consumption, it was not very popular in domestic market(mainly due to harsh winter conditions, less power, lower reliability, higher price, and higher maintenance costs when compared to the petrol-engine model), as well as Peugeot stopping production of XUD engines back in 2001 (existing supplies were available until 2007, when the last VAZ-21215 came off the production line) and VAZ never made another contract for production of diesel engines for Niva. In 2006, the model with carbureted engine of new generation (VAZ-21213/Lada Niva 1.7) was discontinued, and in the same year, the name Niva was formally dropped in favor to new official name LADA 4×4 (although the former namewas still being used in export markets at least until 2009 and it is still informally used world wide). This was done because General Motors (which first supplied an injection system to VAZ) got rights to the name Niva, which had to be discontinued in further production, together with old Soviet VAZ-2121 classification for the domestic market, which was loosely abandoned by the plant itself at the end of 1990s. In 2014, the new, restyled model called LADA 4×4 URBAN appeared, with generally more modern looks resembling an ordinary SUV; new mask, plastic bumpers, new side mirrors, different (aluminium) rims(with the original Soviet Voltyre VLI-5 off-road tires replaced with classic road tires), central brake light, heated front seats, and slightly restyled interior. However, it did not replace the current LADA 4×4 , which remains in parallel production with it. A common misconception associated with the introduction of the 4x4 Urban is the introduction of Airbags. Despite the relatively modern look of the Urbans distinct steering wheel, it contains no Airbag for any market. As of 2019, no version of the Lada 4x4 features any Airbags. In 2017, another model appeared, the LADA 4×4 BRONTO, intended mainly for off-road use.It features characteristic mask and plastic bumpers with integrated front and rear fog lamps, as well as plastic roof rails and larger wheels with new, black aluminium rims featuring new 235/75-R16 Bontyre Stalker domestically produced off-road tires, even higher ground clearance (increased for further 35 mm) and plastic rust-protected body edges (fenders and rocker panels). Internally, it is similar to the LADA 4×4 URBAN, also featuring heated front seats. Additional equipment includes a front winch, roof headlights, and additional fog lights on the front bumper. With all mentioned equipment included, the BRONTO is currently the most expensive LADA 4×4 modelwith a current price of 720 thousand RU in the domestic market (around €10.130). The slightly different pickup model designed by VIS was also revealed (featuring integrated metallic grille, different bumpers, and a snorkel), called LADA BRONTO AMC; however, according to LADA official website, it is not serially produced yet becauset it is not offered anywhere on sale. On 5 April of the same year, at the car's 40th anniversary since the beginning of production, a special, limited edition of the classic LADA 4×4 was presented, called the LADA 4×4 40th-Anniversary, which was made in exactly 1977 copies (the yearwhen Lada Niva appeared). It features new aluminium rims, (similar to the URBAN), as well as five new color schemes, "40th Anniversary" metallic labels on the fenders, tailgate, glove compartment cover, front-seat backrests, and floor mats. Also, it has slightly restyled interior featuring genuine leather seat upholstery and steering wheel cover, as well as sills made out of stainless steel. The model is available from June 2017 in both domestic and export markets. A soft-top version appeared back in 1983, but it was neither serially produced nor designed by its native VAZ, but was actually just a modification of theoriginal Niva 1600 (2121) bodied by French coachbuilder Wassermann for the local market. This was known as the Niva Plein Soleil (Sunlight) and was just one of many Niva modifications made by local importers for their markets. (Lada Cossack, Hussar, and Lada Taiga as examples, were modifications for British and West German markets). Cossack During the 1980s, local Lada importers in various markets made their own upgrades to help compete with more modern SUVs. In the UK, the Cossack model featured large body decals, roof rails, running boards, 15-in alloy wheels, and on some versions, a sunroof, steel bullbars, spotlights,a rear-mounted spare tyre, and semibucket seats. Other markets' importers made similar upgrades and many were also called Cossack. In 1995, Lada UK introduced a face-lifted version of the Niva Cossack and renamed the basic model as the Hussar. Whereas the Hussar had the original 1977 trim, the new UK Cossack featured a new Rover-designed grille and other body kit items, and gained soft nudge-bars at the front in deference to public opinion against bullbars. Both models received the same new 1.7-litre engine and a new deeper tailgate which extended the rear opening to the level of the bumper –Certification Agency standards. The only engine available is the 1.7-l petrol, but this can be provided with or without a liquefied petroleum gas conversion. VAZ-2122 Reka Although VAZ were meant exclusively for production of passenger cars, thus the Niva was intended to be a strictly civilian vehicle, the Soviet military was truly astonished by its fascinating off-road capabilities, so it ordered a military version to be created from VAZ, which could replace the currently used UAZ-469 as standard military 4×4 vehicle. In 1976, when VAZ-2121 development was almost finished, engineers from Tolyatti began working on an amphibian off-roader, which becameBMP-3 infantry combat vehicle, BM-30 Smerch multiple rocket launcher, 2S19 Msta self-propelled artillery, and others. As a result, the Reka was never put into mass production and remained only in a prototype stage, despite more than 10 years invested in its development. LWB Nivas Longer wheelbase versions – the five-door VAZ-2131, three-door VAZ-2129, and VAZ-2329 pickup were also produced from the 1990s, but not generally exported. Nameplate changes The Lada Niva was formally renamed LADA 4×4 back in 2006 and it is continued to be offered with a low-range gearbox, differential lock, ABS, airbags, heated front seats, air conditioning, servomotorfor the steering column, underbody protection, and more. Prices for the model started at €10,990. It is available in five body styles; three- and five-door hatchbacks, two- and four-door pickups, and a two-door van. Two petrol engines are available for the model – the standard 1.7-l and the 1.8-l (only for five-door model) along with a five-speed manual transmission. Starting with the 2014 model year, the "Niva" nameplate was discontinued for the Russian market, and the vehicle is currently branded as LADA 4×4 for both short and long wheelbases. This was done to make way for the upcoming restart ofthe Chevrolet Niva series, which was slated to start production by March 2015. However, due to the current economic situation in Russia-West relations, AvtoVAZ analysts have suggested that the production of Chevrolet Niva may indeed get delayed further into 2015, especially considering any upcoming automotive sanctions packages against Russia. AvtoVAZ currently plans on keeping the LADA 4×4/Niva for its domestic market, branding it as an economy-class SUV. Safety by modern standards In 2002, the Lada Niva was awarded zero stars out of a possible four by the modern Russian ARCAP safety-assessment program. The reviewer noted the very rugged body ofare still being used today. Transmanche-Link, the commercial consortium that built the Channel Tunnel between England and France, used a fleet of 45 Nivas to aid in the enormous project. Each Niva accumulated in excess of off-road during its employment, and after construction had been completed in 1993, the fleet was sold off to a local dealer. In Brazil, the Niva was the best-selling off-road vehicle during the early 1990s. In fact, the Niva was so cheap that even with the 85% importation value tax, it was less expensive than Brazilian competitors such as the Envemo or Gurgel. It soldto spend more than 10 years in Antarctica, where the classic VAZ-2121 Niva (Lada Niva 1600) was used by the Russian (formerly Soviet) Antarctic Expedition for transportation of personnel and goods, communication between Antarctic stations, towing boats, and where it covered more than 40,000 km (24,855 miles) in 1990–2001, thus operating at temperatures down to −54°. Niva also conquered the North Pole in 1998, when the lengthened VAZ-2131 Niva (five-door model) was dropped by parachute on ice and successfully completed its route operating at an average temperature of −30°, thus becoming the first wheeled vehicle to spend time there. Also,it had set the world record of highest point ever reached by a motorized vehicle when another VAZ-2131 climbed to the 5200-m-high base camp on Mount Everest in 1998 and even higher just a year later, on 16 September 1999, when the similar Niva belonging to Saint Petersburg extreme expedition team reached a height of 5725 m on a Tibet mountain during off-roading. Assembly outside Russia Car manufacturer Bognor in Uruguay assembled a version of the Niva, called Bognor Diva, released in 2004. In Greece, the Automeccanica carmaker assembled different versions of the Lada Niva in the late 1980s andearly 1990s, including an in-house developed cabrio version. Chevrolet Niva GM-AvtoVAZ, a joint venture between AvtoVAZ and General Motors, produces the Chevrolet Niva. (previously known as VAZ-2123 Niva in domestic market). It features an updated body and 1.7-l gasoline engine with fuel injection. Although the body and the interiors are new, it is still based on the old VAZ-2121 engine, transmission, and most mechanicals. Its off-road ability is exemplary compared with many modern budget SUVs, having been designed for tough tundra territory. Niva Concept In August 2014 at the Moscow International Automobile Salon GM-AvtoVAZ introduced the next generation Niva. Thecar had a longitudinal mounted engine, full-time four-wheel-drive, two-gear transfer case and rigid-axle rear suspension. The production model was supposed to get a 1.8-liter PSA Peugeot Citroën EC8 engine (135 hp) paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The production's start was expected in 2016, but GM had no interest in the model. Lada 4x4 Vision Concept In August 2018 AvtoVAZ presented the concept of completely new Niva, expected start of production is 2022 or later Modifications Short/regular versions VAZ-2121 Niva (export name: Lada 4×4 Niva): A basic three-door hatchback model with the engine VAZ-2121 (1.6-l, 75 hp, 116 Nm). Severalprototypes of the VAZ-E2121 were created in 1972–1975. At the end of 1976, they released a pilot batch. All the cars in this series are painted in the color "Gold Ochre" and headlamp wiper is in a different location – sticking out from the front and not from the grill, as in mass-produced cars. This model was produced from April 1977 to the end of 1993, existing on the line parallel with the new model 21213 for six months. VAZ-21211 (Lada Niva 1.3): The export version of the engine 21211 (adapted engine VAZ-21011 1.3-l, 69 hp, 92 N · m).was made since 1978 for countries with higher taxes on engines of more than 1.5 l (mainly the Benelux countries and Southern Europe). It only had limited demand due to lower power and torque. VAZ-21212 (Lada Niva 4×4): This is the right-hand drive export modification, made in limited quantities, especially for the British market, and also sold in Australia, New Zealand, and as the "Neve" in Japan. VAZ-2122.600 "The River": This Army amphibious vehicle uses aggregates of the VAZ-2121 in the 1976–1985 years. VAZ developed several prototypes of amphibians with a utilitarian, open-sealed, two-door body. In 1987, the revised modela standard engine VAZ-2121. VAZ-21214 (LADA 4×4): A modification of the model 21213 with the engine VAZ-21214 (1.7-l, 81.8 hp, 127.5 N · m) it was equipped with central fuel injection. Since 2002, this model uses engine VAZ-21214-10 (Euro-0) with fuel injection, upgraded in 2006, under the norms of Euro-2 (21214-20), in 2008 under the Euro-3 (21214-30), and finally, in 2011, under the norms of Euro-5 (for export) and Euro-4 (for home use). C 2006, in accordance with the agreement on the joint venture GM-AvtoVAZ renamed LADA 4×4 3-dv. At the end of 2008, the first rumors about the nextupdated LADA 4×4 – LADA 4×4m. Changes were protracted. The first steps were taken in early 2009, and finally the development of upgrades was completed in late 2011. Changes to the interior and exterior lighting devices, upholstery, and transmission units were made as part of the components were unified with the project Chevrolet Niva. VAZ-21215: An export version with the Peugeot XUD 9SD diesel engine, it was originally produced in 1999–2007. This version was fairly short-lived. VAZ-21216: An export version of the model 21213 with right-wheel drive and carbureted engine VAZ-21213 VAZ-21217: An export version of the model 21213, withthe engine VAZ-2121 (1.6-l) VAZ-21219: A reduction combined with body modification and suspension of the VAZ-2121 and 1.7-l engine and the transmission of the VAZ-21213, made in 1993–1994 VAZ-2121B: An armored car based on the VAZ-2121, it was created in 1992 by the expert VAZ subsidiary company of JSC Special Production Cars Bronte It was produced in a limited edition from 1992 to 1993, and served as a starting point for creating a family of armored vehicles, "Bronte Force". VAZ-2121F: An export commercial version of model-based VAZ-2121 and 21213 Lada 4×4 Urban – A version of the base three-door car,brackets for transportation of bulky sports equipment. The tailgate swings to horizontal loops. The easy-to-wash interior has seats upholstered in imitation leather, and the floor is covered with a soft linoleum. The exterior is complemented by an original plastic "underweight" and two-tone colouring. VAZ-2129 (Cedar): This extended by 500 mm model is based on a standard VAZ-21213. Cedar was created in the early '90s as the carrier units for a proposed minivan VAZ-2120, but in 1992–1994 was produced in a small series for OPP AvtoVAZ. The body was lengthened at the expense of the central insert, and it served asthe basis for a five-door model VAZ-2131. VAZ 2129 "Utiliter": A commercial modification of the Cedar, it differs from the basic model by the lack of a rear seat and barred-from-the-inside rear side windows. The piece was manufactured under an order for OPP AvtoVAZ and distribution was not received. VAZ-2130 (Cedar): A modification of VAZ-2129, it has a reorganized interior. The three-seat bench-type 2108 is shifted forward. According to unconfirmed information, then the index of the model was changed to 2129–01. The VAZ-2130 was made in small batches in 1993 and 1994, and it served as the basis for afive-door model VAZ-2131-01. VAZ-2131 (LADA 4×4 five-door): Extended by 500 mm, the five-door model was based on the VAZ-21213. Available in the pilot production of AvtoVAZ (OPP AvtoVAZ) since 1993. The VAZ-2131 is based on the model 2129 Cedar by adding a pair of rear doors. By February 2009, VAZ has already produced 100 thousand VAZ-2131s, making this the second-most popular model in the family of the old "Field". Lengthening the body is produced by the central 500-mm insertion into a standard body model 21213. Accordingly, this changes the wheelbase and length of the car. On the 2131 version, thefive-seat saloon. Its luggage compartment increased to 1900 liters, allowing two extra seats that turned the car in the seven-seater (and moves it into a class of medium-sized SUVs). VAZ-213102 produced them on demand in 1999–2003. VAZ-2121 sugar – "Niva" designers were forced to think about lengthening the machine so at the end of the 80s made. Later in 1991, six elongated "Niva" were made with a higher roof. Part of the production machinery was registered as homemade and fell into private hands. This machinery was acquired by "Lada-bank" who developed further versions under the "Sahara" name. Vehicles based onsecond-generation made in pilot batches, which were produced by the WHA in 2001–2002. It preserved the continuity of the old "Niva" in aggregates and after considerable modernization was launched in mass production in September 2002, at the facilities of the joint venture GM-AvtoVAZ as the Chevrolet Niva. Part of the units of Chevrolet Niva (e.g. WTP firm ZF) eventually moved to LADA 4×4; VAZ-2129: A two-door model with a long wheelbase, the 2129 was built in small numbers since 1993. A variation is the 212901 1800s with a carbureted engine and two 42-l tanks. VAZ-2328 "Wolf": A pick-up with ashort, two-person cabin based on the model VAZ-2131. The pick-up was built in parallel with the production of VAZ-2329, but due to low demand of the LADA-Toole, it was released only in the initial batch of "Wolves". VAZ-2329 "Bear", "Niva Pick-up", LADA 4×4 Pickup: A pick-up with an extended five-passenger cab model based on VAZ-2131, it was short-run manufactured by OPP VAZ. The car retained the bearing body (wheelbase 2700 mm) with a reinforced base and was increased by 300 mm of rear overhang. Load capacity is 650 lbs. The VAZ-2329 retained the mechanical part of the VAZ-2129/2131. Under order,was formerly produced as pickup VIS-23464 with a queen-sized four-seater cabin and a pickup VIS-2348 with the cab of the LADA Samara 2. Reinforced rear suspension spring is used. VAZ-1922 Bronto "March-1": An all-terrain vehicle on ultra-large-diameter pneumatic wheels. A production is being made by the PSA Bronto in Tolyatti since 1997. In the first 8 years of production, about 350 cars were produced. APAL-21541 "Stalker": A modification based on the VAZ-21214, it was planned for series production at the plant "Pishchemash" in the city of Argun, Chechen Republic. This short run is made by LLC "APAL" since 2003. CCF-2302"Bison": A pick-up chassis with frame based on the Niva, it has a double cab and a short wooden platform, produced on a short-run Togliatti produced by "Eastern Ring" in 1993–1995. The reinforced rear suspension "Buffalo" was used. Versions by AvtoVAZ subsidiaries Motility LLC "motility" versions: Minivan: Track front and rear wheels – as in "Niva", but the wheelbase has increased by half a meter. Machine length reaches 4.3 m, which allows you to put inside the three rows of seats. equipped with a gasoline engine carburetor: VAZ-2130 with a displacement of 1.8 liters, 80 hp In the future itthe blows. Strengthened rear axle NIVA-trot to prevent bending and raised rear support of the spring on 40mm to increase ground clearance. Arches wheel NIVA-LYNX modified for motion in the enlarged passages hangers, rubber arch extensions installed. Lynx 1: three door Lynx 2: five door Lynx 3: five door with fiberglass raised roof. Force: Armored Series LADA-BRONTO 213102 "FORCE CASH": five door with fiberglass raised roof. LADA-BRONTO 213102 "FORCE LONG": five door with flat roof. LADA-BRONTO 212 142 "Force K": three door with flat roof LADA-BRONTO 213102-771-40 "Force Divisional Commander": tactical version of five door with fiberglass raised roof. Ambulance:4 door, one left, two right and back, with fiberglass raised roof. VIS VIS versions: LADA 4×4 Pickup LADA 4×4 Pickup DPS LADA 4×4 Ambulance: based on the extended five-door LADA 4×4 and improved possibilities for medical applications. The car body, compared to the usual long-base LADA 4×4 is increased in length by another 280 mm, which allowed the interior divided by a partition into the driver's cab and the medical department.

In Norse mythology, Völsung () was the son of Rerir and the eponymous ancestor of the ill-fortuned Völsung clan (), which includes the well known Norse hero Sigurð. He was murdered by the Geatish king Siggeir and later avenged by one of his sons, Sigmund, and his daughter Signy, who was married to Siggeir. Völsung's story is recorded in the Völsung Cycle, a series of legends about the clan. The earliest extant versions of the cycle were recorded in medieval Iceland; the tales of the cycle were expanded with local Scandinavian folklore, including that of Helgi Hundingsbane (which appears tofertility carried by the giantess Hljod. Völsung's father, Rerir, died shortly after this, but his wife was pregnant for six years, until she had had enough. She commanded that the child be delivered by caesarean section, an operation that in those days cost the life of the mother. Völsung was a strong child and he kissed his mother before she died. He was immediately proclaimed king of Hunaland and when he had grown up he married the same giantess Hljod. Together they had ten sons and one daughter, including the twins Signy, their daughter, and Sigmund, the most courageous andfor the man who could pull the sword from the oak tree. Then he vanished. Everyone at the wedding tried to pull the sword but only Sigmund succeeded, and he did so effortlessly. Siggeir, his brother-in-law, offered thrice its weight in gold for the sword, but Sigmund scornfully said no. This greatly angered Siggeir, and he swore that one day the sword would be his and he would be avenged on the Völsung family. He returned home the next day, ending the wedding feast early. Before he left he invited the Völsungs to conclude the feast with him when thewinter had passed. Three months later Völsung and his sons sailed to Siggeir's land. They were met by Signy, who warned them that Siggeir intended to ambush them. They refused to turn back, whereupon Signy cried and implored them to go home. Soon they were attacked by Siggeir's army. Völsung fell and his ten sons were taken captive. For the continued story, see Sigmund. Modern retellings The story of Völsung and his children, from the marriage of Signy to Siggeir to Sigmund's vengeance on Siggeir, is retold in the novelette "Vengeance" by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur, which appeared in the magazineAdventure, June 30, 1925. Brodeur was a professor at Berkeley and became well known for his scholarship on Beowulf and other Norse sagas. As Völsungakviđa en Nýja (The New Lay of the Völsungs) J. R. R. Tolkien retells the story in the Old Norse verse style of the Poetic Edda. It was published posthumously together with a poetic retelling of the Niflung saga under the title, The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún. The Völsung tale was also the inspiration for much of Richard Wagner's second and third operas of the Ring cycle. Siegmund and his twin sister Sieglinde reconnect and

Radio Soul is a 2007 album by "Byrdjones", a collaboration by contemporary folk singer-songwriters Jonathan Byrd and Diana Jones. The duo assembled the album in preparation for a series of tours in which they split the bill across parts of Europe and the United States. Recording Although the liner notes do not include any musician credits, the sound of the album is essentially that of the voices of two distinct songwriters and their guitars (Byrd plays mandolin on a couple of tracks). It could have been done all at once with a single microphone (think of the stripped down soundof Time (The Revelator) but with higher tempo and slightly more conventional harmonies). Byrd's flatpicking solos are featured on a couple of tracks as well (notably on "Poor Boy" and "The Things of This World"). The song, "The Other Side" is delivered a cappella. The entire album was recorded in seven hours with only a few days of rehearsal. The recording was engineered by Bruce Chandler at the Nashville Record Barn in Nashville, Tennessee. Songs The album kicks off with the title track—the album's only legitimate co-write. The rest of the album more-or-less alternates between compositions that Byrd and Jonesindividually contributed with a Carter Family cover near the end. A few of the songs have appeared elsewhere in the individual artists' catalogs. Jones sings the title track of her 2006 breakthrough, My Remembrance of You with Byrd adding a natural harmony that was absent in the original. Some of her other songs here, "Maryville" (presumably Maryville, Tennessee) and "Orphan's Home" might also have fit well on her solo album—they have the same longing for the ancestors and home that she never knew while growing up (Jones was adopted as an infant). Byrd also revisits some earlier material; "Vemla" wasfirst recorded for his 2000 debut, Wildflowers. The song gives his account of serial killer Velma Barfield whose victims included Byrd's own grandfather. An earlier electric version of "Poor Boy" was recorded for, but didn't make the final cut on Byrd's This Is the New That (it is one of three outtakes hidden in a data track of the CD release). Both artists dig deeply into their Appalachian roots and pull out a lot of gospel imagery in their songwriting. Darkness and sorrow are balance by optimism. Near the end of the final track, Jones' "That Better Day", Byrd andJones take the song on a brief detour into the 1920s pop classic, "Ain't We Got Fun?" before returning to its main theme and bringing the album to a close.

After intersecting PA 512 in Moorestown, PA 946 turns southeast and intersects PA 248 again before reaching its terminus at PA 191. PA 946 was first designated in 1928 onto an unpaved road running fromfarms, woods, and residences. The road curves east and reaches the residential community of Danielsville, where it intersects Blue Mountain Drive a short distance south of Blue Mountain. Past this community, PA 946 heads southeast through a mix of rural areas and residences, curving east and passing through the community of Rockville. The route crosses into Moore Township and runs through a mix of farmland and woodland, passing through the community of Youngsville and crossing the Hokendauqua Creek. The road curves southeast into residential areas, passing through Klecknersville before coming to the northern terminus of PA 987 in Cross Roads.At this point, PA 987 continues southeast and PA 946 turns northeast onto Community Drive, passing more homes before curving east into a mix of farm fields and woods with a few residences.

History The present-day routing of PA 946 was not legislated as a routewhen Pennsylvania first legislated routes in 1911. In 1928, PA 946 was designated along an unpaved road running from a point between Danielsville and Youngsville, where a paved local road continued west towards Walnutport, east to PA 512 in Moorestown. The portion of road between Moorestown and PA 12 (now PA 191) in Hecktown was designated as the southern portion of PA 512, which was unpaved and was under construction between PA 12 and PA 45 (now PA 248). In the 1930s, PA 946 was extended to its current alignment between PA 45 (now PA 248) near Walnutport and PA
