# Bishop Machebeuf High School
**Bishop Machebeuf High School** is an Archdiocesan school under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Denver, in Denver, Colorado.
## Background
Founded in 1958 as \"Bishop Machebeuf Catholic High School\", it is named after Bishop Joseph Projectus Machebeuf, Denver\'s first bishop. It is a co-ed college preparatory high school located in Lowry, Colorado.
## The Lowry Location {#the_lowry_location}
In January 2000, Bishop Machebeuf High School moved from its historic old location in Denver\'s Park Hill neighborhood to Lowry. The new location includes a gym, drama room and stage, cafeteria with microwaves for student use, a kitchen, athletic fields, a courtyard in the center of the academic wing, athletic fields, 17 1,100 square foot classrooms, and a center for counseling and academic resources, all things that were not present at the old location.
## Integrated Humanities {#integrated_humanities}
In 2017, Bishop Machebeuf added a Classical track which is a class designed to teach students using classic materials such as Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, St. Augustine, etc. In 2020, all students began taking this track which includes at least two years of Latin, a three year Trivium sequence of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, and an Integrated Humanities Seminar. This seminar combines history, literature, and philosophy taught in a Socratic Seminar. Students also take four years of Theology as well as four years on Mathematics and Science.
## Campus Ministry {#campus_ministry}
**Three Divisions of Campus Ministry** The Campus Ministry program used to have three major divisions. Each division had a student director that coordinated the particular part of the program with the Campus Minister.
**Liturgy** The liturgy division provides liturgical experiences for the entire student body. This primarily refers to the All School Liturgy which happens on a weekly basis. The liturgy division also assists the organization of First Friday Adoration days and triannual confession services. Finally, the liturgy division organizes All School prayer at BMHS including but not limited to: Opening and Closing of the school prayer and special prayer services during the liturgical seasons.
**Evangelization** The evangelization division assists the organization of outreach events for the students of BMHS as well as the larger community. Events include: Christian concerts, mission trips, service projects, pilgrimages, and special community masses (St. Nick\'s mass, Mother -- Son Mass etc.).
**Media** The media division of Campus Ministry provides support for all aspects of Campus Ministry. The media division produces resources for the web, print, and multimedia presentations. Photos of all CM are collected and stored by the media division. Press and news releases are published by the media division as well.
## Athletics
The girls\' basketball team won the 3A state championship in 2003 and 2007.
In 2005, Bishop Machebeuf won the boys\' baseball state championship in Class 3A, defeating state powerhouse Eaton in the semifinals and Roosevelt in the championship game.
Recently, all Machebeuf athletics switched to 2A.

# Toytown (horse)
**Toytown** was a British event horse owned and ridden by Zara Phillips.
Toytown was a chestnut gelding born in 1992, standing at 17hh and with particularly distinctive markings including a white blaze and white spots. Toytown and Phillips competed together at the highest level of the sport until the horse\'s retirement in 2011, after accruing 1,421 British Eventing points in his career.
## Background
Toytown\'s exact breeding is unknown. Noddy was spotted as a 7-year-old novice eventer in 1999 by Zara\'s father, Mark Phillips, when rider and former owner Meryl Winter went to him for a lesson. Zara bought the horse a few months later after watching him jump with her stepmother and dressage coach Sandy Pflueger. Zara has since commented that he \"looked a bit like a hat-rack when we first saw him but I got on really well with him.\" Despite Winter\'s description of him as a \'cross country machine\', Toytown was far from a natural eventer, with a particular lack of respect for show jumps -- at the Windsor CCI\*\* in 2001, Zara and Toytown entered the ring in the lead only to finish out of the running with six fences down and 25 penalty points.
However, Zara and Toytown\'s hard work with Mark Phillips in the show jumping ring and Pflueger in the Dressage arena put paid to these teething problems, and the pair\'s first real success came with the Young Rider title at Bramham Horse Trials in 2002, followed by individual silver at the 2002 Young Riders European Championships in Austria.
This success was cemented in their CCI\*\*\*\* debut at Burghley Horse Trials in 2003. Competing at this level for the first time, over a particularly challenging course, Zara and Toytown found themselves in the lead after the cross country and missed overall victory by just one fence, losing to then-world number one Pippa Funnell on her way to the Rolex Grand Slam.
Far from being an easy horse to ride, Zara comments that he \"doesn't like performing these days unless it really matters\" (something he demonstrated at the 2007 Festival of British Eventing when, according to the BBC\'s equestrian correspondent Clare Balding, he \"went complete bonkers and started rearing\" during the Dressage), and that \"Toytown, almost always, has to do something to show he is in control.\"
## Olympic contender {#olympic_contender}
A leg injury following Burghley forced Toytown out of contention for the 2004 Athens Olympics and the entire 2004 season, and an injury during final preparations for the 2008 Beijing Olympics forced the pair to concede their place in the British team.
## Retirement
Zara Phillips officially retired Toytown from competition on the final day of the 2011 Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park. The popular gelding was paraded to fans and spectators in the main arena before leaving for the rolling Gloucestershire countryside of the Gatcombe Estate.

# VR Class Sr2
The **Sr2** is a class of electric locomotives of the VR Group. They were built by SLM/ABB and later by Adtranz and finally Bombardier Transportation and assembled by Transtech Oy. They are closely based on the class Re 460 (or Lok 2000) locomotives of Swiss Federal Railways.
The nicknames of this class are *Alppiruusu* (Edelweiss), *Käkikello* (Cuckoo clock), both referring to the Swiss origin of the locomotive, as well as *Marsu* (Guinea pig) and *Möhkö* (Blob), both from the looks of the locomotive.
## History
In 1992, VR ordered the first 20 class Sr2 locomotives; later 20 more were ordered with 12 options. Finally only six of the 12 options were transformed into orders, forming a total fleet of 46 engines. The locomotives are used on both passenger trains and freight trains, and they are the primary locomotives of the fast InterCity trains in Finland.
Until mid-2010s Sr2s were pulling IC trains the classic way, but after Edo-class cab control cars were introduced in 2013, Sr2 units have been used in pull-push mode with IC double deck stock. Until introduction of new Sr3 locomotives, Sr2 has been the only electric locomotive equipped for push-pull among Finnish rolling stock.
## Technical information {#technical_information}
When introduced, the Sr2 was the fastest and most powerful locomotive of the VR. It was designed with a top speed of 230 km/h and early units had that speed marked on them. During test runs, it has achieved a speed of 232 km/h. However, VR later limited the top speed to 210 km/h, since test runs require 10% faster speed than the targeted commercial speed.
The locomotive has GTO-thyristor inverters driving three-phase asynchronous AC motors. The maximum power of each air-cooled motor is 1560 kW at 2,600 V. Combined, they are capable of a power output of 6100 kW (5000 kW continuous power). The motors are small and fit entirely within the bogies. The bogies weigh only 15.8 tonnes and are equipped with radially steered axles. This reduces rail wear significantly. A redesigned bogie construction was refitted by the manufacturer in the mid-2000s after the locomotives were found to oscillate sideways when running at speeds of over 160 km/h.
The whole construction of the locomotive is modular and all functions are controlled by several microprocessors via the locomotive bus (MICAS S2). The system is redundant, so that a failure in one processor does not harm the overall system. The data lines are fiber optic cables.
Sr2 units are fitted with Unilink couplers, which combine a SA3 and a traditional chain coupler.
## Design and livery {#design_and_livery}
As with all the Lok 2000 locomotives, the external design is by Pininfarina. The series were painted red and white, showcasing VR\'s InterCity colours, with a large V on the bodyside to symbolise VR\'s high-speed traffic. Starting from number 3222 the V was replaced with VR\'s logo. Beginning from 2010 and starting from engine number 3221, all units were repainted with VR\'s current colour scheme (green and white)

# Bhiksha
**Bhiksha** (*भिक्षा*, *bhikṣā*; *𑀪𑀺𑀓𑁆𑀔𑀸*, *bhikkhā*) is a term used in Indic religions, such as Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism, to refer to the act of alms or asking. Commonly, it is also used to refer to food obtained by asking for alms.
## Buddhism
In Buddhism, bhiksha takes the form of the monastic almsround (*𑀧𑀺𑀡𑁆𑀟𑀘𑀸𑀭*, *piṇḍacāra*), during which monks make themselves available to the laity to receive alms food (*𑀧𑀺𑀡𑁆𑀟𑀧𑀸𑀢*, *piṇḍapāta*).
Buddhist monks are called *bhikkhu* (Pali) or *bhikṣu* (Sanskrit) while nuns are called *bhikkhunī* (Pali) or *bhikṣunī* (Sanskrit) which translates to \'almsman\' and \'almswoman\' respectively.
## Hinduism
Bhiksha signifies a Hindu tradition of asking for alms with the purpose of self-effacement or ego-conquering. Other forms of giving and asking include dakshina (offering a gift to the guru) and dāna (an unreciprocated gift to someone in need).
Usually, bhiksha is the meal served to a *sadhu* sanyasi or monk when that person visits a devout Hindu household. Occasionally, bhiksha has also referred to donations of gold, cattle, and even land, given to Brahmanas in exchange for karmakanda. It is given by disciples to a guru as an offering as well.
Bhiksha is incorporated into religious rituals as well, a prominent one being the bhikshacharanam, which includes begging for alms. In such a ritual, after thread ceremony must beg for alms, stating, \"*bhavati bhiksham dehi*\".
There are several instances of someone seeking bhiksha in Hindu literature. One noteworthy instance is found in the Ramayana. In this epic, in order to lure Sita out of her hermitage, Ravana disguises himself as a Parivrajaka begging for alms. When she subsequently offers him bhiksha, he abducts her to Lanka upon his pushpaka vimana. The abduction sets the stage for the rising action

# Dundee Corporation
**Dundee Corporation** is a public Canadian independent holding company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Through its operating subsidiaries, Dundee Corporation is an active investor focused on delivering long‐term, sustainable value from investments in the mining sector. It is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "DC.A".
Dundee Corporation was founded in 1991 by Canadian entrepreneur made billionaire, Ned Goodman and built a track record as a successful mining investor. During this period, Dundee Corporation had many high-profile mining investments, including:
- Homestake Mining; sold to Barrick;
- Seed investor of Kinross Gold;
- Founding investor of Repadre Capital Corporation; sold to Iamgold;
- Zemex Minerals;
- Breakwater Resources;
- Founding shareholder of Dundee Precious Metals Inc.;
- Founding investor in Osisko Mining;
- Raised \$4.3 billion in flow-through limited partnerships helping to discover some of Canada's best orebodies.
In 2011, Dundee Corporation's focus expanded to businesses beyond the mining sector. In order to bring Dundee Corporation back to its roots as a mining investment and merchant bank business, Jonathan Goodman returned to Dundee Corporation as chairman and CEO in 2018 to create Dundee 2.0. The goal of Dundee 2.0 is to re-recreate the culture and structure that led to Dundee Corporation's past success in the mining business.
Dundee 2.0's long-term plan involves operating three mining investment and finance businesses:
**Dundee Mining (Private Equity Style) --** This is the technical team that does the detailed work on the larger investments. The team's due diligence and de-risking approach focuses on all aspects of the mining business and thoroughly evaluates potential investments and make deliberate, long-term decisions. Once due diligence is complete, they work closely with the Merchant Banking team to structure and implement the deal in a way so that they receive a commission. The team currently has a healthy pipeline of investment opportunities in their portfolio they are evaluating.
**Dundee Goodman Merchant Partners --** Dundee Goodman Merchant Partners ("DGMP") operates as a combination of investor and broker. DGMP focuses on the emerging side of the mining business and makes small investments in select, undervalued companies. DGMP is usually paid in commissions and broker warrants. Since launching this strategy in June 2020, this group has been profitable.
**CMP (Flow-Through Fund) --** The flow through fund business which raises money from Canadians who need tax deductions generated from mineral exploration. This was once a major area of strength for Dundee, which helped companies raise over \$4.3 billion. Dundee has a new structure that can give even more tax deductions to the investors, and expects it will result in regaining market share and increasing profitability

# Russell M. Pitzer
**Russell Mosher Pitzer** (born May 10, 1938) is an American theoretical chemist and educator.
He was born in Berkeley, California and attended public schools in this and the Washington, D.C. area. He received his B.S. in chemistry in 1959 from the California Institute of Technology, his A.M. in physics from Harvard University in 1963, and his Ph.D. in chemical physics from Harvard University in 1963.
At Harvard, Pitzer worked with William N. Lipscomb, Jr. in cooperation with the research group of John C. Slater at M.I.T. to develop computer programs to use Slater orbitals to produce self-consistent field (SCF) molecular orbitals.
The ethane barrier (see diagram at right) was first calculated accurately by Pitzer and Lipscomb using Hartree Fock Self-Consistent Field (SCF) theory. Ethane gives a classic, simple example of such a rotational barrier, the minimum energy to produce a 360-degree bond rotation of a molecular substructure. The three hydrogens at each end are free to pinwheel about the central carbon-carbon bond, provided that there is sufficient energy to overcome the barrier of the carbon-hydrogen bonds at each end of the molecule bumping into each other by way of overlap (exchange) repulsion.
Also at Harvard, Pitzer also helped formulate the perturbed Hartree--Fock equations in a form for calculating the effects of external electric and magnetic fields on molecules.
He was a postdoctoral fellow at M.I.T. and a faculty member at Caltech before joining the chemistry department at Ohio State University in 1968. He was promoted to professor in 1979 and served as department chair from 1989 to 1994.
His group wrote computer software to enable calculation of molecular energies and other properties. In 1979, with John Yates, he published the first Jahn-Teller-Effect study (on cobalt trifluoride, CoF~3~) to use a computed energy surface. An early application with A. Chang was the first assignment of the visible spectrum of uranocene.
During 1986--87 he served as acting associate director of the Ohio Supercomputer Center, cofounding the center and the Ohio Academic Resources Network. During 2001--03 he served as interim director of the Ohio Supercomputer Center. In 2004 he received the Faculty Award For Distinguished University Service. He retired in 2008.
His father was former Stanford University president Kenneth Pitzer and his grandfather, Russell K. Pitzer, founded Pitzer College, one of the seven Claremont Colleges in California. Russell M. Pitzer served as a trustee of Pitzer College from 1988 to 2012, and in 2003 received a Doctor of Humane Letters honorary degree in recognition of this service. In 2018 the Ohio Supercomputer Center named their newly purchased supercomputer Pitzer in honor of his role in founding the center

# John Bowler (businessman)
**John Bowler**, MBE (14 February 1937 -- 16 February 2022) was an English businessman and the chairman of Crewe Alexandra Football Club. Elected chairman in 1988, he resigned in March 2021 following criticisms of him and the club in the Football Association\'s inquiry into sex abuse in English football.
## Biography
Having joined the board in 1980, Bowler became chairman at Crewe Alexandra in 1988, succeeding Norman Rowlinson. Prior to joining Crewe, he was a marketing director at pharmaceutical company Wellcome.
His time at Crewe coincided with the appointment and long tenure of manager Dario Gradi, the most successful period in its history. Under his chairmanship, the club won promotion six times (twice at Wembley). The club reached the second tier, Division One, in 1997, after victory over Brentford in the Division Two play-off final, and finished in 11th position, their highest finishing position, in the 1997--98 First Division season. Crewe also won the Football League Trophy in 2013. It also became renowned for its youth development strategy, generating more than £32 million of income through player sales.
In March 2014, Bowler was honoured with the Contribution to League Football Award at The Football League Awards 2014. In December 2014, it was announced that Bowler had been appointed an MBE in the 2015 New Year Honours for services to football.
Bowler was chairman in late 2016 when Crewe became embroiled in the United Kingdom football sexual abuse scandal. In 2019, he said Crewe had not appreciated the dangers of football being used as a means for a paedophile to prey on young boys. The FA\'s 700-page report into the scandal was published on 17 March 2021, identifying failures to act adequately on complaints or rumours of sexual abuse at eight professional clubs including Crewe. Considering whether senior club people knew about Bennell, Sheldon concluded they had not received specific reports of abuse (a conclusion also reached by Cheshire constabulary). However, Norman Rowlinson, John Bowler and Hamilton Smith had discussed concerns about inappropriate behaviour; the club \"should have done more to check on the well-being of the boys\", Sheldon said. Following publication of the report, there were calls for Bowler to resign, including from the club\'s own supporters group; Bowler announced his resignation as a director and chairman of the club on 25 March 2021.
He died on 16 February 2022, two days after his 85th birthday

# Bob Boilen
**Bob B Boilen** (born April 10, 1953, in Brooklyn, New York City) is an American musician and media personality. He was the host and creator of NPR\'s online music show *All Songs Considered* and the co-creator of NPR\'s Tiny Desk Concerts, a series originally conceived of by NPR\'s Stephen Thompson. He retired from NPR in October 2023 after 35 years.
Since 2021, Boilen has hosted the weekly show *My Tiny Morning Show* on WOWD-LP. He will become the station\'s program director in June 2024.
## Career
In 1978, Bob Boilen played synthesizers in the Washington, D.C. band Tiny Desk Unit. They were the first band to ever play the 9:30 Club at the original location at 930 \'F\' Street. From 1982 to 1986, Boilen filled a variety of roles including composer with Baltimore\'s Impossible Theater. He also worked as a producer for Channel 50, and produced *Science Live* for the Discovery Channel. He joined NPR in 1988 and \"was hired to work on the flagship news program *All Things Considered* on a temporary basis. Less than a year later, he became the director of the show\". He held that position until 2007. As director, Boilen chose the music between the news stories for that show. Those musical snippets, or \"buttons\", were the starting point for the creation of the show *All Songs Considered* in 2000. He then helped create NPR Music in 2007.
Boilen co-created and produced the Tiny Desk Concert series in April 2008 for NPR Music, hosting intimate performances at his desk. The series, curated by Boilen and the team of NPR Music, was inspired by a comment made by NPR Music\'s Stephen Thompson when he jokingly invited musician Laura Gibson to perform at Bob\'s desk. The two of them went to see Gibson at a show at South by Southwest in 2008 and the loud crowd made it impossible to hear her. The series is named after the band Boilen played in from 1979 to 1981, Tiny Desk Unit. He retired from NPR on October 2, 2023.
Since August 2021, he has hosted a weekly morning show on WOWD-LP, a low-power FM station in Takoma Park, Maryland. In April 2024, it was announced he would become program director at the station effective June 1, 2024.
Bob Boilen continues to play music with friend Michael Barron; both were founding members of the psychedelic dance band Tiny Desk Unit (1979--1981), for which Boilen played synthesizer. Boilen continues to write music with Barron in a band called Danger Painters and also writes and releases solo music. Boilen also composed the original theme music for *Talk of the Nation*.
He voiced himself in \"Gal of Constant Sorrow\", a Season 27 episode of the animated television series *The Simpsons*

# Antwerp Water Works
The **Antwerp Water Works** (*Antwerpse Water Werken*) or **AWW** produces water for the city of Antwerp (Belgium) and its surroundings. The AWW has a yearly production of 150,000,000 m3 and a revenue of 100 million euro.
## History
Between 1832 and 1892, Antwerp was struck every ten to fifteen years by a major cholera epidemic which each time claimed a few thousand lives and lasted for about two years. In 1866 the cholera epidemic infected about 5000 people and about 3000 people died. Between 1861 and 1867 several propositions were done for a water supply for Antwerp. In 1873, under mayor Leopold De Wael, it was decided that a concession should be granted to secure the water supply of the city.
On 25 June 1873, a concession of 50 years was granted to the English engineers, Joseph Quick from London, together with John Dick, to organize the water supply of Antwerp. Due to a lack of funds and a dispute between the partners this venture stranded. In 1879, the English engineering company Easton & Anderson took over the yards and the concession. Within two years they succeeded in finishing the work. An exploitation society was established: the *Antwerp Waterworks Company Limited*, a society according to English law which would be in charge of the exploitation from 1881 up to 1930.
The water was won from the Nete river at the bridge of Walem. It was purified according to an original method: an iron filter. In the period 1881 up to 1908 the system was repaired repeatedly, until eventually a new method of filtration was chosen which was a combination of fast with slow sand filtration. This method of filtration is still being used today for the treatment of a large part of the raw material, now water from the Albert Canal.
In 1930, the concession came to an end, as no agreement could be reached with the English owners concerning a new construction in which the municipalities surrounding Antwerp would be included. The city of Antwerp took over the company and founded a mixed intermunicipal company (private and public participation) in which the English Waterworks kept a minority participation. The remaining shares were in the hands of the city of Antwerp and the surrounding municipalities of Berchem, Boechout, Borgerhout, Deurne, Edegem, Ekeren, Hoboken, Hove, Mortsel, Kontich and Wilrijk. The English withdrew from the company in 1965. In the same year a new production site in Oelegem was established and a new office building in Antwerp. During the dry summer of 1976 it became clear that the reserve capacity needed to be expanded and in 1982 the reservoir of Broechem was inaugurated. The second concession ended after 53 years, so in 1983 a new concession to the AWW was granted.
In 2003 Brabo Industrial Water Solutions (BIWS) started, a consortium with Ondeo Industrial Solutions, to provide water tailored for the industry. In 2004 the RI-ANT project started (together with Aquafin), which takes over the management and the maintenance of the sewerage network of Antwerp

# James S. Ackerman
**James Sloss Ackerman** (November 8, 1919 -- December 31, 2016) was an American architectural historian, a major scholar of Michelangelo\'s architecture, of Palladio and of Italian Renaissance architectural theory.
In 2017, Ackerman was awarded the Henry Hope Reed Award.
## Biography
Ackerman was born in San Francisco in November 1919. He studied at the Cate School in Carpinteria, California, graduating in 1937 before attending Yale University. At Yale, 1938--41, he came under the influence of Henri Focillon. His graduate work was at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University (MA 1947, PhD 1952), where he studied with Richard Krautheimer and Erwin Panofsky. His studies were interrupted by his World War II service in the US Army in Italy, which, however, gave him an opportunity to increase his on-site understanding of Italian Renaissance architecture, his specialty---he was assigned to retrieve the archives secured at the Certosa di Pavia. He was a Fellow at the American Academy in Rome (1949--52). He taught at Berkeley and from 1960 at Harvard as Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Fine Arts until his retirement in 1990.
He was the editor of *The Art Bulletin* (1956--60) and *Annali d\'architettura*. Ackerman was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1963. He was a member of the American Philosophical Society, and a corresponding member of the British Academy, the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, the Accademia Olimpica, Vicenza, the Ateneo Veneto, the Accademia di San Luca in Rome and the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala. He gave the Slade Lectures at Cambridge in 1969--70. He received six honorary doctorates and was a Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, an honorary citizen of Padua, and received a Special Golden Lion Award at the Venice Biennale of Architecture of 2008.
When he started teaching at the UC Berkeley School of Architecture in the fall of 1952, Ackerman was their first full-time architectural historian.
His rigorous method set architecture in the broader contexts of cultural and intellectual history. He was awarded the Balzan Prize 2001 for achievement in architectural history and urbanism and the Paul Kristeller citation 2001 of the Renaissance Society of America for lifetime achievement. Ackerman conceived and narrated the films shot by John Terry *Looking for Renaissance Rome* (1975, with Kathleen Weil-Garris Brandt) and *Palladio the Architect and His Influence in America* (1980).
He died in December 2016 at the age of 97.

# Multiperspectivalism
**Multiperspectivalism** (sometimes **triperspectivalism**) is an approach to knowledge advocated by Calvinist philosophers John Frame and Vern Poythress.
Frame laid out the idea with respect to a general epistemology in his 1987 work *The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God*, where he suggests that in every act of knowing, the knower is in constant contact with three things (or \"perspectives\") -- the knowing subject himself, the object of knowledge, and the standard or criteria by which knowledge is attained. He argues that each perspective is interrelated to the others in such a fashion that, in knowing one of these, one actually knows the other two, also. Poythress developed the theme with respect to science in his 1976 book *Philosophy, Science, and the Sovereignty of God* and with respect to theology in his 1987 book *Symphonic Theology*.

Frame suggests that in all acts undertaken by humans there is some standard that serves as a guide, and that guide tells people what is the proper subject of inquiry, what actions they should pursue and avoid, what the universe is really like, and how knowledge should be sought. In his view, the marketplace of ideas is full of worldviews competing for the allegiance of each individual, and for some people, final allegiance to a system is due to sense experience, emotions, or political affiliation, while for others it is their particular religious tradition (Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Baháʼí Faith, etc.) or secular philosophy (empiricism, rationalism, Marxism, postmodernism, etc.). Whatever serves as a person\'s final authority, Frame says, functions as his or her normative perspective.
Christians such as Frame believe that God has verbally revealed himself to mankind in the Bible for the purpose of providing everything people need for life. In this view, Frame suggests, God's inspired word serves as the criteria by which all truth claims are to be checked, and God's word dictates to humanity who he is, the true nature of the world around us, and who people are in relation to God and the world. Thus, for Frame as for Calvin, the Christian Scriptures serve as the lens through which one ought to see and evaluate everything, and even in knowing the Bible, he suggests that one knows both the world and himself (and, conversely, in knowing them both one comes to know Scriptures better).
### The situational perspective {#the_situational_perspective}
With the situational perspective, Frame refers to the facts of reality or the objects of knowledge. With this perspective in mind, he says one must acknowledge the details of history, science, and evidences for various beliefs, and yet, science, history, and the evidences can never to be interpreted in a fashion that ignores or sets aside the binding nature of the normative perspective. Viewing things from Frame\'s situational perspective, one looks for how the normative perspective is expressed in everyday life.
Thus, without an understanding of the world, Frame says, one cannot rightly understand or apply Scripture to his or her life. For example, an argument against abortion might run:
1. Murder is a sin.
2. Abortion is murder.
3. Therefore abortion is a sin.
In Frame\'s scheme, the first point provides us with a normative command from the Bible, which serves as a timeless moral principle. But in order to arrive at the conclusion one needs to know whether or not abortion is really the taking the life of an innocent, unborn person, which requires use of the situational perspective. One must consult medical examinations of the nature of a fetus, the law of biogenesis, and the abortion procedure itself, since without this crucial information one could never know whether the person was faithfully applying God's word in one\'s life.
### The existential perspective {#the_existential_perspective}
With the existential perspective, Frame draws attention back to the person doing the knowing because, he says, individuals bring their personal dispositions, temperaments, biases, presuppositions, and life experiences to every act of knowing. A problem common to all epistemological endeavors is that if one tries to formulate a true-to-life epistemology, one apparently must examine each and every action performed, but formulating every action into propositions for evaluation is quite tricky. For this reason, the Enlightenment model of epistemology viewed the knowing enterprise as something hampered by human subjectivity and sought an objective mode of knowing that excludes Frame\'s existential perspective. Frame notes that the search for a purely objective knowledge is not only impossible, but also idolatrous. States Frame:
\"Sometimes we dream fondly of a \'purely objective\' knowledge of God---a knowledge of God of freed from the limitations of our senses, minds, experiences, preparation, and so forth. But nothing of this sort is possible, and God does not demand that of us. Rather, He condescends to dwell in and with us, as in a temple. He identifies himself in and through our thoughts, ideas, and experiences. And that identification is clear; it is adequate for Christian certainty. A \'purely objective\' knowledge is precisely what we don't want! Such knowledge would presuppose a denial of our creaturehood and thus a denial of God and of all truth.\" (DKG, 65)
### Integration of the perspectives {#integration_of_the_perspectives}
Frame argues that in order to appreciate the richness of the human knowing process, one must see that every instance of knowing involves these three perspectives. Esther Meek, following Frame\'s model closely, calls these perspectives the rules, the self, and the world, and emphasizing the existential perspective, she states, \"Knowing is the responsible human struggle to rely on clues to focus on a coherent pattern and submit to its reality\" (LTK, 1). Knowing in this sense is thus the process of integration by which one focuses on a pattern by means of various clues in the world, one\'s body-sense, and the norms for thinking.
Through this integration process the clues take on greater significance such that they are no longer seemingly disconnected occurrences, but rather meaningful portions that make up a greater reality. Yet, it is claimed, the pattern or integration, once achieved, retroactively throws light on the \"clues\" that made it up. The particulars retain their meaningfulness, but it is enhanced and transformed. These patterns now shape the knower, because, ideally, they connect her with a reality independent of herself. One comes to see the fullness of the pattern when its truth is lived in (or \"inhabited\"), thus extending one\'s self out into the world by means of that truth.
Much of this pattern-making process is inarticulatable, but Frame and Meek believe this more-than-words aspect of epistemic acts cannot be ignored because he sees it as crucial in the common, everyday process of knowing.

# Mauro Piacenza
**Mauro Piacenza** (born 15 September 1944) is an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church. A cardinal since 2010, he was Major Penitentiary of the Apostolic Penitentiary from 2013 to 2024. He was Prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy from 7 October 2010 to 21 September 2013. where he had been Secretary since 2007. At that Congregation, Pope Benedict XVI, according to one report, valued \"his efficiency and in-depth knowledge of how the Congregation worked and its problems\" and \"his traditionalist ecclesiastical line of thought\". `{{Infobox cardinal styles

## Early life {#early_life}
Piacenza was born in Genoa on 15 September 1944. After studying at the Major Archiepiscopal Seminary of Genoa, he was ordained to the priesthood by Giuseppe Siri on 21 December 1969. He then completed his studies at the Pontifical Lateran University, where he obtained a doctorate *summa cum laude* in canon law.
After serving as a parochial vicar, he worked as chaplain to the University of Genoa. Piacenza taught canon law at the Theological Faculty of Northern Italy and held several other posts, serving as the archbishop\'s press officer. He was the diocesan assistant of the ecclesial Movement of Cultural Commitment. He served as professor of contemporary culture and history of atheism at the Ligurian Higher Institute of Religious Studies as well as professor of dogmatic theology at the Diocesan Institute of Theology for the Lay \"Didascaleion\". He also taught theology at several state schools. He was made a canon of the Genoa Cathedral in 1986.

## Service in the Roman Curia {#service_in_the_roman_curia}
He joined the staff of the Congregation for the Clergy in 1990 and was named its Undersecretary on 11 March 2000.
On 13 October 2003, Pope John Paul II appointed Piacenza President of the Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church and titular bishop of Victoriana. He received his episcopal consecration on 15 November from Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, with Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos and Bishop Alberto Tanasini as co-consecrators.
He was named president of the Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archeology on 28 August 2004. He was appointed secretary of the Congregation for the Clergy and raised to the rank of archbishop on 7 May 2007. That appointment has been interpreted as Pope Benedict\'s way of positioning a thoroughly orthodox secretary to monitor the work of his superior, the far more liberal Cardinal Claudio Hummes. He was appointed Prefect of that Congregation on 7 October 2010.
On 20 November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI made him Cardinal-Deacon of San Paolo alle Tre Fontane and, on 29 December 2010, appointed him a member of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, the Congregation for Catholic Education, and the Pontifical Council for Social Communications.
He was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 2013 papal conclave that elected Pope Francis.
Piacenza, like all officers of the Roman Curia, lost his position with the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. Pope Francis reappointed them temporarily and then moved Piacenza from his position as Prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy to head the Apostolic Penitentiary on 21 September 2013. His new role was described as \"a decidedly lower command post\" as head of \"a little-known Vatican tribunal that deals with confessions of sins so grave only a pope can grant faculties to absolve from them, such as the case of a priest who violates confessional secrecy\". He had arrived years earlier at the Congregation for the Clergy as a check upon the Congregation\'s prefect Cardinal Hummes, one of Pope Francis\' closest allies.
After ten years at the rank of cardinal deacon, he exercised his option to assume the rank of cardinal priest, which Pope Francis confirmed on 3 May 2021.
He was succeeded as major penitentiary by Angelo De Donatis on 6 April 2024

# Ronde van Drenthe
**Ronde van Drenthe** (*Tour of Drenthe*) was an elite men\'s and women\'s professional road bicycle racing event held annually in the Drenthe, Netherlands and sanctioned by the Royal Dutch Cycling Union. The women\'s event was part of the UCI Women\'s World Tour, and the men\'s event was part of the UCI Europe Tour.
In 2024, organisers announced that the race had been cancelled, owing to increasing costs, regulations and lack of support from the police.
## History
### Men\'s event {#mens_event}
The race was first held in 1960 as an amateur event. Since 2005, the men\'s event has been part of the UCI Europe Tour. It became a 1.HC race in 2017.
Between 2010 and 2015, Dwars door Drenthe was held on the same weekend as the Ronde van Drenthe. In 2011, Ronde van Drenthe and Dwars door Drenthe were held as a combined stage race, with each day retaining its own branding. The events reverted to being separate events in 2012.
In November 2023, organisers announced that the men\'s race would not be held from 2024 onwards. The women\'s event would continue. Organisers stated the cancellation was due to increasing costs, regulations and lack of support from the police.
### Women\'s event {#womens_event}
A women\'s event was first held in 1998 as **Novilon Eurocup**, a one-day race. Between 2003 and 2006, this was held as a three-day event.
In 2007, these three stages were replaced by three one-day races - the Novilon Eurocup, **Drenthe 8 of Dwingeloo** and **Ronde van Drenthe**. In 2015, the Novilon Eurocup was held for the last time, and the Drenthe 8 became **Drentse 8 van Westerveld**.
The first edition of Ronde van Drenthe in 2007 was part of the UCI Women\'s Road World Cup, and the race became part of the UCI Women\'s World Tour in 2016. Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes won the event four times in a row from 2021 to 2024.
In 2024, organisers announced that the women\'s race would not be held from 2025 onwards, thereby cancelling the event. Organisers stated the cancellation was due to increasing costs, regulations and lack of support from the police.
## Route
The races used generally flat roads in the Drenthe region of the Netherlands, with the challenge being multiple ascents of the VAM-berg -- a hill built on a landfill site. The climb was 750m in length with an average gradient of 4.2% and a maximum gradient of 20%. Other difficulties were the ten cobbled sections on the route

# Armadillo (novel)
***Armadillo*** is William Boyd\'s seventh novel, published in 1998. It was the first of his novels to be based in Britain. Boyd also wrote the screenplay for a BBC/A&E television adaptation in 2001.
## Plot introduction {#plot_introduction}
The story concerns Lorimer Black, a successful loss adjuster. His original name is Milomre Blocj and he comes from a family of Transnistrian gypsies who arrived in London in 1957 and set up an import-export business linked to Eastern Europe. They now run a taxi cab firm and are always borrowing money off Milo (as they still call him). Lorimer suffers from insomnia and spends many nights at the \"Institute for Lucid Dreaming\" in search for a cure. He collects antique helmets, listens to African music and is having an affair with Stella Bull, the owner of a scaffolding company. The book includes extracts taken from Lorimer\'s journal *The Book of Transfiguration,* in which he philosophizes on his situation and quotes from Gerard de Nerval.
Hogg, Lorimer\'s overbearing boss, describes his profession thus: \"people turn to insurance to remove uncertainty from areas of their lives. Insurance companies turn to loss adjusters to put uncertainty into insurance, and thus reintroduce uncertainty to insured people.\"
The narrative itself begins when Lorimer turns up at a routine business appointment only to find the man he was to meet has hanged himself. From then on his already complicated life begins to unravel as he falls in love with Flavia Malinervo, an unhappily married actress; is assigned to investigate a case of suspected insurance fraud in which a colleague, Torquil Helvoir-Jayne, is implicated; and suffers the death of his father.
## Reception
According to the complete review, reviews were mixed. There was \"no critical consensus: some loved the writing, some thought it was terrible. The same with the meandering story. Only consensus: Boyd was not being ambitious enough, not using his talents to the fullest\".
- Caroline Boucher in *The Observer* writes \"In *Armadillo* William Boyd has not only written a gripping novel. He also pulls off the coup of making loss adjusting exciting\... with good prose, a plot that draws you along and is both unsettling and at times comic\".
- Richard Bernstein in *The New York Times* praises Boyd\'s storytelling talents in \"this entertaining novel, which gives us one of the more likable, lost and perplexed central characters yet to appear in his oeuvre.\"
- In contrast though *The Economist* complained: \"You expect an intelligent, thoughtful, and interesting thriller; unfortunately, the expectations are subverted by three inadequacies, surprising in a writer whose previous work has generally been greeted with acclaim and even delight. What is wrong? Well, chiefly, the plotting, the characters and the writing.\"
## Television adaptation {#television_adaptation}
The novel was adapted into a three-part BBC/A&E television series shown in September 2001 with a screenplay by the author. It was directed by Howard Davies and produced by Sue Birtwistle

# Polar wind
The **polar wind** or **plasma fountain** is a permanent outflow of plasma from the polar regions of Earth\'s magnetosphere. Conceptually similar to the solar wind, it is one of several mechanisms for the outflow of ionized particles. Ions accelerated by a polarization electric field known as an ambipolar electric field is believed to be the primary cause of polar wind. Similar processes operate on other planets.
## History
In 1966 Bauer and, separately, Dessler ahd Michel noted that since the Earth\'s geomagnetic field above the poles forms a long tail away from the Sun out beyond the Moon\'s orbit, ions should flow from the higher pressure region in the ionosphere out into space. The term \"polar wind\" was coined in 1968 in a pair of articles by Banks and Holzer and by Ian Axford. Since the process by which the ionospheric plasma flows away from the Earth along magnetic field lines, is similar to the flow of solar plasma away from the Sun\'s corona (the solar wind), Axford suggested the term \"polar wind.\"
The earliest experimental characterization of the polar wind came from the 1966 Explorer 33 and especially the 1974 ISIS-2 satellite projects. Additional data from the 1981 Dynamics Explorer led to some uncertainty in the theoretical models about the role of cool O^+^ ions. This issue was cleared up with the more comprehensive data from 1989 Akebono satellite, and the 1996 Polar satellite.
The idea for the polar wind originated with the desire to solve the paradox of the terrestrial helium budget. This paradox consists of the fact that helium in the Earth\'s atmosphere seems to be produced (via radioactive decay of uranium and thorium) faster than it is lost by escaping from the upper atmosphere. The realization that some helium could be ionized, and therefore escape the Earth along open magnetic field lines near the magnetic poles (the \'polar wind\'), is one possible solution to the paradox.

# Polar wind
## Causes
thumb \|right\|Conceptual diagram of the two main effects of the ambipolar electric field: inflating the ionosphere and generating the polar wind.The sparkling blue haze surrounding Earth represents the plasma in the ionosphere. The sparkling lines represent polar wind flowing up and out. After 30 years of research, the \"classical\" cause of the polar wind has been shown to be ambipolar outflow of thermal plasma: ion acceleration by a polarization electric field in the ionosphere. The polarization or ambipolar electric field was originally proposed in the 1920s for ionized stellar atmospheres. Gravitational charge separation creates a field amounting to $E = -\mu \cdot \vec{g} / e$ where $\vec{g}$ is the gravitational field and $\mu$ is the mean ionic mass, half the difference between the mass of the singly charged ions and the electron. This simple formula is only applicable in a plasma in hydrostatic equilibrium. More complex models applicable to real plasmas show larger field strength. In any case the field is very small but, unlike other forces, it points away from gravity. In low density plasma at high altitude it overwhelms gravity for light ions.
In the region of the polar wind, the ionospheric plasma expands and the low density allows gravity to pull ions down relative to the electrons in the plasma. The charge separation results in the electric field which then sends some of the ions up and out of the atmosphere. This mechanism is known as \"ambipolar outflow\" and the field as \"ambipolar electric field\" or \"polarization electric field\". Additional mechanisms include ion acceleration by solar photoelectrons escaping along magnetic field lines.
The outflow of ions due to the ambipolar electric field end up accumulating in the plasmasphere if they follow closed magnetic field lines but ions following open magnetic field lines exit the Earth system. Ions following open magnetic field lines are push away from the Sun by forces of the solar wind (anti-solar convection).
## Measurements
Numerous investigations of the polar wind have launched, including ISIS-2, Dynamics Explorer, the Akebono satellite, and the Polar satellite, covering a variety of altitudes, latitudes, and times relative to the solar cycle. Some of the conclusions include:
- the primary ingredients in the polar wind are electrons, hydrogen (H^+^), helium (He^+^), and oxygen (O^+^) ions,
- O^+^ ions dominate at below 4000km,
- all three ion species reach supersonic velocities above 7000km and velocities increase to over Mach number 2 above 50,000km.
- polar wind velocity increases with altitude, and is higher on the dayside of the Earth,
The polarization or ambipolar electric field was directly measured in 2022 by a sounding rocket launched from Svalbard. This NASA mission was called Endurance. Comparing the electrical potential at altitude of 250 km to that at 768 km gave a difference of +0.55 volt with an uncertainty of 0.09 volt

# Wig (song)
\"**Wig**\" is a song by American new wave band The B-52\'s, the third and final single from their 1986 album *Bouncing Off the Satellites*.
## Release and promotion {#release_and_promotion}
The single was released to coincide with the delayed release of *Bouncing Off the Satellites* in the UK in 1987, a year after it had been released in the U.S.; thus \"Wig\" was released in the UK only and was the first single from the album there.
While the band didn\'t tour in support of *Bouncing Off the Satellites* upon its original release, due to guitarist Ricky Wilson\'s then-recent death, they traveled to the UK to make promotional appearances, miming to \"Wig\" on TV and being interviewed in magazines. The single peaked at No. 79 in the UK.
Many years later, in 2010, the band started playing \"Wig\" live, and a live version was included on their *With The Wild Crowd!* live album.

# Richard Brooke (Norton)
**Richard Brooke** or **Broke** (died 1569) was an English landowner and navy officer.
## Early life {#early_life}
Richard Brooke was the younger son of Thomas Brooke of Leighton in Nantwich Hundred and Elizabeth, a daughter of Hugh Starkey of Oulton. Starkey was a Gentleman Usher to Henry VIII.
## Knights of Malta {#knights_of_malta}
Brooke became a soldier and was admitted as a Knight of Malta in 1531. Hugh Starkey\'s son Oliver Starkey was also a Knight of Malta. Brooke became Commander of the Mount St. John Preceptory in North Yorkshire. After the suppression of the Order in England by Henry VIII circa 1542, Brooke was relieved of his religious vows and held the office of Vice-Admiral of England, a jurisdiction on the Cheshire coast.
## Scotland and the *Galley Subtle* {#scotland_and_the_galley_subtle}
In May 1544, during the war now known as the Rough Wooing, Brooke served in Lord Hertford\'s army in Scotland which sacked and burnt Edinburgh. Brooke captured and destroyed the fortress on the island of Inchgarvie in the *Galley Subtle* on 6 May 1544.
In September 1547 an English navy commanded by Lord Clinton comprising 34 warships with 26 support vessels sailed to Scotland. The *Galley Subtle*, captained by Richard Brooke, bombarded the Scottish army at the battle of Pinkie. William Patten included the ship in one of his plans of the battlefield, depicted in the woodcut with its oars visible, close to Musselburgh.
The galley was used because it could be rowed near the shore to fire its ordnance. The galley crew included condemned prisoners from London jails whose sentences were commuted to sea service. The guns of the ships in English fleet were recorded in an inventory. The *Galley Subtle* carried two brass demi-cannons, two brass Flanders demi-culverins, breech-loading iron double basses and single basses. The ship was also called the *Rose* or *Red Galley*.
After Pinkie, on 15 September Broke and the *Galley Subtle* rowed up the River Forth to Blackness Castle. After an exchange of fire he captured the *Mary Willoughby*, the *Anthony of Newcastle* and the *Bosse*, and burnt other ships. Next, an \"assured Scot\" Michael Durham and the English commander Andrew Dudley sailed in the galley from Leith to Broughty Castle and fired three shots at the castle. The castle surrendered to Dudley as pre-arranged.
## Manor of Norton {#manor_of_norton}
Richard Brooke bought the manor of Norton, near Runcorn, Cheshire from Henry VIII in 1545 following the dissolution of the monasteries. The manor included the former monastery of Norton Priory and the settlements of Norton, Stockham, Acton Grange and Aston Grange in Cheshire, and Cuerdley in Lancashire.
## Later life {#later_life}
Following the dissolution of the monasteries, the abbey of Norton Priory was made inhospitable. Having bought the property, it seems that Brooke did not have the resources necessary to build an expensive house and therefore he modified the west range of the abbey as his residence, while the cloister became a rubbish dump. The remaining buildings and the church were demolished and sold for building stone.
Following the accession of Queen Mary to the throne in 1553, Brooke assisted Reginald Pole in the re-establishment of the Order of St John in England. Brooke was Sheriff of Cheshire in 1563. He was succeeded at Norton Priory by his eldest son, Thomas.
## Family
He married Christian, daughter of John Carew of Haccombe in Devon. The genealogy of the family is variously reported. Their children or grandchildren included.
- Thomas Brooke of Norton (died 1622), who married (1) Anne, daughter of Henry Tuchet, 10th Baron Audley, (2) Elizabeth (died 1604), daughter of William Marbury, (3) Eleanor Gerrard
- Mary Brooke, who married Richard Brereton
- Elizabeth Brooke, who married (1) Lancelot Bartlett, (2) Cynwrig Eyton of Eyton, Denbigshire
- Christian Brooke, who married Richard Grosvenor of Eaton and was the mother of Sir Richard Grosvenor, 1st Baronet, the ancestor of the Dukes of Westminster.
- Martha Brooke, who married Hugh Starkey of More
After the death of Richard Brooke in 1569, his widow married Ralph Done of Flaxyards

# Anthony Kim
**Anthony Ha-Jin Kim** (born June 19, 1985) is an American professional golfer with three PGA Tour wins, who played in one Ryder Cup competition, and one Presidents Cup competition. He has not played in a PGA Tour event since an injury in 2012. He is believed to have had an insurance policy that would pay him \$10-20 million in the case of a career-ending injury. In 2024, he returned to professional golf, playing in the LIV Golf League.
## Amateur career {#amateur_career}
A Korean American, Kim was born in Los Angeles, California, and resides in Dallas, Texas. He attended La Quinta High School in La Quinta, California. After high school, he attended the University of Oklahoma for three years; this is where he met his caddie, Brodie Flanders. During his time at Oklahoma, he set the school record for lowest career scoring average in relation to par. He was part of the winning USA team in the 2005 Walker Cup.
## Professional career {#professional_career}
### 2006--2010
Kim turned professional in 2006 and after receiving a sponsor\'s exemption he finished in a tie for second on his PGA Tour debut at the 2006 Valero Texas Open. He earned his PGA Tour card through the qualifying school for the 2007 season. He made a strong start and broke into the top 100 in the Official World Golf Rankings in May 2007 with four top 10 finishes during his rookie season on the PGA Tour. In the 2007 U.S. Open, he shot a final round 67 earning him a tie for 20th place (he started the day at T57). His 67 was the lowest for the round and second lowest for the tournament.
In May 2008, Kim won his first PGA Tour tournament at the Wachovia Championship, defeating former British Open champion Ben Curtis by five shots. Kim\'s 16-under par 272 total was the lowest score in the tournament\'s history until 2015. He shot an opening day 70, but rallied for subsequent rounds of 67-66-69 and was several shots clear of Curtis most of the final round. He earned \$1,152,000 for his victory, and reached a new career high of 16th in the world rankings.
In July 2008, Kim won his second PGA Tour tournament at the AT&T National, defeating Freddie Jacobson by two shots. Kim shot a 5 under 65 in the fourth round to capture the title. The victory was especially meaningful because the tournament is hosted by Tiger Woods. Furthermore, Kim became the first American under 25 to win twice in one year on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods in 2000. This win moved him to 14th in the World Rankings. A pair of T-3 finishes in the final two 2008 FedEx Cup events pushed him to 6th in the World Rankings. He has spent over 20 weeks in the top-10 since 2008.
In September 2008, Kim was a critical part of the United States\' victory in the Ryder Cup at Valhalla Golf Club, defeating Ryder Cup veteran Sergio García 5 & 4 in the first match of the Sunday single matches. Later that year he joined the European Tour for the 2009 season, making his debut as a member at the 2008 HSBC Champions, the first tournament of the 2009 season.
At the 2009 Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia at Augusta National Golf Club, Kim set the record for most birdies in a round with eleven in the second round, surpassing Nick Price, who had ten birdies in 1986.
At the 2009 Presidents Cup, Kim posted an impressive 3--1 record, which included a 5 and 3 victory over Robert Allenby in the Sunday singles match.
Kim lost to Ross Fisher in the finals of the Volvo World Match Play in October 2009 4 & 3 after once again beating Robert Allenby in the semi-finals.
In April 2010, Kim won the Shell Houston Open, beating Vaughn Taylor in a playoff. He became only the fifth player in 30 years to have won three times on the PGA Tour before the age of 25, the others being Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Sergio García and Adam Scott. He followed up with third place finish in the Masters Tournament, after a final round 65. Those results were achieved despite a thumb injury for which he underwent surgery in May. Having missed several months of the season, he dropped outside the automatic qualification places for United States team for the 2010 Ryder Cup in the final event, and was not one of captain Corey Pavin\'s wildcard picks.
### 2011--2019 {#section_1}
In June 2012, Kim had surgery after injuring the Achilles tendon in his left leg and was expected to miss 9 to 12 months. Kim was eligible for the 2013 season on a Major Medical Exemption, but has failed to play a single tournament since.
In April 2014, Golf Channel reported that Kim no longer plays golf, even on a recreational level. In 2016, Kim played in a number of charity events, but said he was not ready to play professionally again. He also cited ongoing physical therapy and numerous surgeries as the reasons for delaying his return.
In April 2019, during an encounter with a fan in West Hollywood, California, Kim referred to his golf game as \"non-existent\". On January 1, 2021, Adam Schriber, Kim\'s longtime coach, posted a photo of the two in front of the Dallas skyline with the caption \"2021 is going to be special\".

### 2024: Return to professional golf {#return_to_professional_golf}
In February 2024, it was confirmed that Kim would be returning to professional golf; joining the 2024 LIV Golf League at the Jeddah event in Saudi Arabia. He played as an individual for his first season, serving as a \'wild-card\'. He did not earn a single point for his individual performances, but began to show much improved form in the second half of the year. He is expected to return as a wild card for the 2025 season.

# Stasys Šilingas
**Baron Stasys Šilingas** (11 November 1885 -- 13 November 1962) was a prominent lawyer and statesman in interwar Lithuania.
When the independence of Lithuania was proclaimed on February 16, 1918, Šilingas served first as vice-president and then in 1919, as president of the Council of Lithuania. He was one of the main advisors and supporters of the authoritarian President Antanas Smetona. He was twice Minister of Justice, in 1926--1928 and in 1934--1938, and chairman of the State Council of Lithuania in 1928--1938. From 1920 to 1926 he was director of the Fine Art association. He also served as vice-chancellor of the Order of Vytautas the Great. After the occupation of Lithuania by the Soviet Union, he was deported in 1941 to the Russian Arctic.
## Early life and cultural activities {#early_life_and_cultural_activities}
Šilingas was born in Vilnius. He was a Baron through his maternal grandfather, Count Stanislav Šilingas of Paberžė, who was exiled to Siberia and whose property and estate were confiscated by the authorities of the Russian Empire for his monetary support of the failed Uprising of 1863. Šilingas spurned the title using it only when it served to advance his country's causes in giving him access to the Russian elite. He participated in the Russian Revolution of 1905, manning the barricades and even firing a pistol at the Imperial Russian Army.
Since childhood he spoke only Polish and Russian until he and Ramūnas Bytautas, his close friend, studied Lithuanian in Berlin in 1907. Šilingas learned Lithuanian to perfection. For this and for his oratorical skill, he was called \"silver-throated\" and \"Cicero of the North\" during his student years. He would go on to translate Lithuanian works into Polish and Russian, and other works into Lithuanian, including works by both Friedrich Nietzsche and Rabindranath Tagore.
He graduated from Moscow University in 1912 with a degree in law. During his student years, he was active in the Student Union serving as its chairman. He published newspapers and journals for students and educators, including *Aušrinė*, eventually adding a supplement of Lithuanian folklore which he collected, called *Vasaros darbai*. In 1915 he single-handedly published *Baras* (First Forum) which included works by Kazys Binkis, Balys Sruoga, Ignas Šeinius, Sofija Kymantaitė-Čiurlionienė, Vincas Krėvė and others. Also included was his own poem *Tautos dainų genezė* (\"Genesis of a Nation\'s Songs\").
While still a student, he began collecting funds to preserve Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis' paintings and other Lithuanian works of art. Over 25 years, his private collection grew to over 100 works of Lithuanian art. He was co-founder of the Lithuanian Art Society with Antanas Žmuidzinavičius and formally established the M. K. Čiurlionis collection. He also organized and staged Folk Art exhibits. As Chairman of the Opera Guild in Kaunas, he introduced *La Traviata* at the opening of the Opera Theater in Kaunas in 1920.

### Russian Empire official {#russian_empire_official}
From 1915 to 1917, he worked at the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Saint Petersburg, initially under minister Sergey Sazonov. During this two-year period of service, Šilingas gathered and dispensed funds to aid Lithuanians displaced by war in Saint Petersburg, particularly to writers and artists. He also opened a boys\' high school for Lithuanians in Voronezh with Martynas Yčas, with whom he also participated in the First and Second Lithuanian Conferences in Stockholm to organize Lithuania\'s government during and after World War I.
On October 25, 1915, Šilingas, Balys Sruoga, and Ignas Šeinius met with Maxim Gorki to discuss publishing a book in Russian about Lithuania. He was always an activist for Lithuanian causes, being an able lobbyist with the Russians while serving as Chairman of the State Council of Lithuanians in Russia in 1917 when he also founded the Democratic National Freedom League (Santara), a democratic party whose purpose was to restore Lithuania as an independent nation. He was elected its vice-chairman and began publishing weekly issues of *Santara* which he personally funded. The same year he began to organize Lithuania\'s military scattered throughout the Russian Empire and to publish *Liberty\'s Officer* for army personnel. He also began to draft the statutes for the election of the Petrograd Seimas.
### Lithuanian Wars of Independence activities {#lithuanian_wars_of_independence_activities}
He returned to Vilnius in 1918 at the end of World War I and was a member of the State Council of Lithuania, creating a National Militia as Minister of Defence. He declared that he was philosophically opposed to dictatorial rule but that he was ready to do whatever was required for Lithuanian solidarity. With President Antanas Smetona and other government officials abroad in December 1918, they left a political and military vacuum, and Šilingas was able to hold both state and military together.
In 1919, he and Lithuania\'s government withdrew to Kaunas where he was elected Chairman of the State Council of Lithuania, serving until 1920. He had earlier resigned from Santara to protest the party bickering which he could not tolerate. Politically, he was to the right of the left-wing and supported the Lithuanian National Union (Tautininkai) drafting that party\'s statutes in 1933.
Among his accomplishments, he drafted the Constitution of Lithuania which was adopted in 1938 and organized the National Guard which successfully repelled an attempted Bolshevik invasion in 1918, during the Lithuanian Wars of Independence. However the Polish-Lithuanian War (1 September - 7 October 1920) resulted in the fall of Vilnius and its surrounding territory to the forces of the Second Polish Republic. The captured area was organized by the Poles as a new regime, the so-called Republic of Central Lithuania. Due to his previous high-profile activities, Šilingas was arrested in Vilnius by the new Polish-controlled regime in August, 1921, but released in November of the same year in deference to his title of Baron. He returned to Lithuanian territory remaining under the control of the Kaunas government.
### Republic of Lithuania activist {#republic_of_lithuania_activist}
He was co-founder of the M. K. Čiurlionis Art Museum in Kaunas. He was twice elected as representative of the Lithuanian Farmers\' Union to the Parliament (Seimas) to accomplish land reforms in making land accessible to the people. He was Chairman of the Foreign Affairs committee. From 1920-1926, he was Chairman of the State Art Council, at which time he also practiced law to support his family.
He supported the dissolution of Parliament in 1926 in order to bring stability to the nascent nation, and he became Minister of Justice, reigning in the Bar Association for which he was duly criticized. He was thrice chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Lithuania (1917, 1918, 1929) and was decorated with the National Guard Star and the Vytautas the Great Star in 1931. In 1933 he completed the statutes for the Judicial System, for National and State Security, and for the Press, all of which were adopted. In 1934 he was named Minister of Justice a second time serving until 1938 at which time he withdrew from public life after delivering his \"Testament to Lithuania\" speech before a convention of the National Guard, stressing as always the necessity of reclaiming Vilnius.
After the adoption of his drafted Lithuanian State Constitution, he declined the position Chairman of State Council of Lithuania. He did not support acceptance of the Polish ultimatum in 1938 and thus advised that Vincas Krėvė-Mickevičius should assume Chairmanship in 1940. He was awarded with the Italian Cross of the First Order, the National Guard Star Order, and the first class Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas.

## Retirement and exile {#retirement_and_exile}
In private life, he was friend to many innovative Lithuanian artists and writers, encouraging and publishing their works, now considered classics, including M. K. Čiurlionis, Balys Sruoga, Vincas Krėvė, Kazys Šimonis, and Adomas Varnas who drew caricatures of Šilingas to Šilingas\' amusement.
He married Emilija Bytautaitė who was the sister of his closest friend Ramūnas Bytautas, a philosopher. He and Emilija had nine daughters. When he retired from public life in 1938, he moved with his family to Misiūnai, part of an old estate which he had purchased in 1925. There he designed and built his family home, a gathering place for colleagues and friends as well.
On June 14, 1941, during the June deportation, the Soviets arrested him, his wife Emilija, and daughter Raminta. They were separated before being deported to Siberia. Emilija died within 2 years of gangrene from frostbite; Raminta died less than year later of encephalitis. Šilingas learned of their location only after Emilija\'s death, and he never saw any of his family again. He spent over 20 years in exile: in camps and prisons of Siberia, the last 7 years of his life incarcerated at an Invalid Home in the Ukrainian SSR. At one time he shared a cell with former Lithuanian President Aleksandras Stulginskis and other Lithuanian dignitaries such as Juozas Urbšys, former Foreign Affairs Minister.
Finally allowed to write letters, in 1956 he was able to communicate for the first time with his surviving daughters who now lived in the United States, Australia, and Canada, and with former colleagues who had been allowed to return to the Lithuanian SSR. His voluminous letters are philosophical, scholarly, and historical and reveal some details of his life in exile. Allowed to return to the Lithuanian SSR only in 1961, he died in Kelmė within a year, on November 13, 1962. He was first buried in Kelmė, but in 1999, his remains, and those of his wife and daughter, were reburied in the family plot at Ilguva near Misiūnai according to his wishes expressed while in exile.
The Stasys Šilingas Society, founded in 1999, documents his achievements and life and commemorates his contributions to Lithuania\'s existence at yearly events in Vilnius, Kaunas, Šakiai, and other locations

# Jean Bell Thomas
**Jean Bell Thomas** (November 14, 1881 -- December 7, 1982) was an American photographer and folk festival promoter, who specialized in the music, crafts, and language patterns of the Appalachian region of the United States.
## Early life {#early_life}
She was born **Jeannette Bell** in 1881 to William George Bell and Catherine S. Bell, a retired engineer and a schoolteacher, respectively, in Ashland, Kentucky. She earned the nickname \"Traipsin\' Woman\" when, as a teenager in the 1890s, she defied convention to attend business school, learn stenography, and become a court reporter, traveling by jolt wagon to courts in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. Her travels from county to county were said to involve \"considerable spells of traipsin\'\". Her exposure to the musical traditions, dialect, folkways, and costumes of the mountain people she encountered in her native Eastern Kentucky, combined with her later work in \"show business,\" led to her avocation as a popularizer of mountain music and as proprietress of the American Folk Song Festival, staged in and near Ashland, Kentucky, from 1930 to 1972. In 1900, she lived at home with her parents; her occupation was stenographer.
## Career
Using money saved from her court reporter wages, Bell moved to New York City, where she took writing classes and continued to work as a stenographer. She married accountant Albert Thomas in 1913 and moved to Logan, West Virginia, but was divorced within a year. She then held a variety of jobs, including work as a script girl for Cecil B. de Mille\'s film *The Ten Commandments*, as secretary to the owner of the Columbus Senators baseball team, and as press agent for Texas Guinan, an entertainer and owner of prohibition-era speakeasies.
During her years working in eastern Kentucky, and on subsequent visits, Thomas often carried her camera and photographed the musicians and other mountain people with whom she came in contact. She used her portable typewriter to document lyrics and tunes to ballads. In 1926, she met James William Day, a blind fiddler from Rowan County. Using the skills she had acquired as a press agent, she changed his name to Jilson Setters, secured recording contracts, and booked him (as the \"Singin\' Fiddler from Lost Hope Hollow\") in theaters. As Jilson Setters, Day eventually played in London\'s Royal Albert Hall at the Festival of the English Folk Song and Dance Society, for Thomas subscribed to the belief, also held by many of her contemporaries, that in Appalachia, \"the speech, song, and traditions of old England still survived\" (Thomas 1940, pg. 88). Day (aka Setters) was the subject of Thomas\' first book, *Devil\'s Ditties*, published in 1931; subsequent books included the semi-autobiographical *The Traipsin\' Woman* (1933) and *The Sun Shines Bright* (1940).

## Beginning of the American Folk Song Festival {#beginning_of_the_american_folk_song_festival}
Inspired by a traditional mountain \"Singin\' Gatherin\'\" (wherein musicians got together to perform old songs) she had witnessed, Jean Thomas staged a small folk festival for a group of invited guests at her home in September 1930. Featured performers included Setters and Dorothy Gordon, a singer from New York. Thomas incorporated the American Folk Song Society the following year to plan for an annual festival near her hometown of Ashland, Kentucky. The second American Folk Song Festival was held in 1932 on Four Mile Fork of Garner, just off the Mayo Trail, and featured eighteen acts, all of whom had learned by oral tradition, per Thomas\' stipulation. The stage included a rented log cabin, because \"It was my purpose to recreate as accurately as possible the original scene of the Singin\' Gatherin\'. That had been presented in front of a windowless cabin. But this rented cabin did have a glass window in front; so I covered it with an American flag\" (Thomas 1940, pg. 198).
With the exception of the years 1943--1947, the American Folk Song Festival was held annually until failing health forced Thomas to retire in 1972. From 1934 to 1949, thanks to a benefactor\'s gift of land and a windowless log cabin, the festival took place at a site eighteen miles south of Ashland. Beginning in 1950, the festival was held in Thomas\' yard in Ashland, moving to a state park in Prestonsburg in 1964, and to the Carter Caves State Park in 1966. The festival followed an unwavering script for many years, intended to show \"authentic sequences in America\'s musical history\" (Thomas 1940, pg. 262). Volna Fraley `{{Who|date=March 2022}}`{=mediawiki} or, later, his nephew, would signal the start of the performances by blowing a fox horn that had belonged to \"Devil Anse\" Hatfield (patriarch of the legendary feuding family of the Kentucky-West Virginia border). Next, a man, woman, and two children would arrive at the stage by covered wagon to be greeted by a woman dressed as a Cherokee Indian, as a representation of the Anglo-American settlement of the Appalachian Mountains. Traditions carried over from the British Isles would then be demonstrated by a dozen children performing an old English country dance accompanied by a piper. A woman in the role of \"Narrator\" (often played by Thomas herself), attended by \"Ladies-in-Waiting\" dressed in long black Elizabethan gowns, would read a historical prologue connecting Appalachian customs and music to Elizabethan England. The prologue would conclude with a description of the wedding of a young pioneer couple named Ephraim and Drusilla; the ensuing musical performances were set in the narrative context of their wedding reception, or \"Infare\".
Musicians would play traditional stringed instruments such as dulcimer, fiddle, guitar, banjo, and accordion, plus recorder and mouth harp. Homemade varieties, such as fiddles constructed out of corn stalks, and banjos made from gourds, appeared alongside later models. Nostalgic for the 19th century, Thomas costumed festival performers in homespun garments evoking that era: girls wore bonnets and calico dresses; women dressed in linsey-woolsey and wrapped shawls around their shoulders; and men and boys often wore overalls. Characters bore names of people she had met long before (\"Emmaline,\" \"Little Chad,\" and \"Little Babe\"), or were invented to sound folksy. Props such as hickory chairs and egg baskets, brooms, and drinking gourds were used in photographing performers.
## Last years {#last_years}
She donated manuscript materials and her photographs to the University of Louisville in 1968. The remainder of her papers came to University of Louisville\'s Dwight Anderson Music Library in 1990, and are described online. Jean Bell Thomas died in Greenup, Kentucky on December 7, 1982, aged 101 years old

# Ponte della Maddalena
**Ponte della Maddalena** is a bridge crossing the Serchio river near the town of Borgo a Mozzano in the Italian province of Lucca. It\'s one of numerous medieval bridges known as *Ponte del Diavolo*, the \"Bridge of the Devil\", it was a vital river crossing on the Via Francigena, an early medieval road to Rome for those coming from France that was an important medieval pilgrimage route.
The bridge is a remarkable example of medieval engineering, probably commissioned by the Countess Matilda of Tuscany c. 1080-1100. It was renovated c. 1300 under the direction of Castruccio Castracani. The largest span is 37.8 m. The bridge is also described in a 14th-century novella by Giovanni Sercambi of Lucca.
Circa 1500 it took on the name of *Ponte della Maddalena*, from an oratory dedicated to Mary Magdalene, whose statue stood at the foot of the bridge on the eastern bank.
In 1670 the General Council of the Republic of Lucca issued a decree prohibiting passage over the bridge with millstones and sacks of flour in order to preserve the structure.
In 1836, after being badly damaged during a flood, the bridge underwent urgent repair work

# Surviving Grady
**Surviving Grady** is a popular blog, detailing the ongoing and occasionally strained relationship between two passionate fans of the Boston Red Sox and their beloved team. The blog began at the start of the Red Sox\' historic 2004 season and swiftly gathered a devoted following, serving as an outlet for a frustrated fanbase to air and share their grievances, disappointments, and eventual triumph. Entries from the 2004 season were later collected and published in book form.
## History
Disgruntled at the Red Sox\'s dramatic loss to the New York Yankees in the 2003 American League Championship Series, creators \"Red\" and \"Denton\" conceived the blog as a space in which to engage with the angst associated with following a team that seemed destined always to disappoint. Daily entries have continued to date, typically exhibiting an off-kilter, and occasionally surreal sense of humor.
The title refers to Grady Little, manager of the Red Sox from 2002-2003, and to Little\'s controversial decision not to replace pitcher Pedro Martínez in the eighth inning of Game Seven of the 2003 American League Championship Series. The Yankees tied the game on a hit from the very next batter, and went on to win, costing the Red Sox a chance at the World Series and causing great frustration and consternation among the Red Sox fan base.
## Style
Surviving Grady, in essence, is a reflective journal of what it feels like to be a fan of the Red Sox. There are no box scores and little in the way of statistical analysis. The charm of the blog lies instead in the contributors\' idiosyncratic response to the team\'s fortunes. Written with wit and warmth, by fans for fans, the site attracts thousands of readers on a daily basis, and has a lively comments section

# Cataphatic theology
**Cataphatic theology** or **kataphatic theology** is theology that uses \"**positive**\" terminology to describe or refer to the divine -- specifically, God -- i.e. terminology that describes or refers to what the divine is believed to be, in contrast to the \"negative\" terminology used in apophatic theology to indicate what it is believed the divine is not.
## Etymology
\"Cataphatic\" comes from the Greek word κατάφασις *kataphasis* meaning \"affirmation,\" coming from κατά *kata* (an intensifier) and φάναι *phanai* (\"to speak\").
## Terminology
Cataphatic and apophatic theology are two sides of the same coin. One must endeavor to use language to the fullest extent to try and describe God (cataphatic) and then realize that language falls short of doing so (apophatic). To speak of God or the divine cataphatically is thought by some to be by its nature a form of limiting to God or divine. This was one of the core tenets of the works of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, who said of God, \"Neither is there sense, nor image, nor opinion, nor reason, nor knowledge of Him.\" By defining what God or the divine is, the unlimited is limited. A cataphatic way to express God would be that God is love. The apophatic way would be to state that God is not hate (although such description can be accused of the same dualism). Or to say that God is not love, as he transcends even our notion of love. Ultimately, one would come to remove even the notion of the Trinity, or of saying that God is one, because divine is above numberhood. That God is beyond all duality because God contains within himself all things and that God is beyond all things. Saint Dionysus taught the apophatic way, which involves stripping away any conceptual understanding of God that might become all-encompassing. This approach prevents the limited nature of human understanding from imposing itself on the absolute and divine. `{{Christian mysticism}}`{=mediawiki}
## Eastern Orthodoxy {#eastern_orthodoxy}
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, kataphatic theology can lead to some knowledge of God, but in an imperfect way. The perfect and only way which is fitting in regard of God is the apophatic way, as the kataphatic way has as its object that which exists, but God is beyond all existing.
## Roman Catholicism {#roman_catholicism}
Prominent theologians like Saint Augustine and Saint Ignatius of Loyola used cataphatic and apophatic theology. Saint Augustine wrote \"if you can grasp \[God\], it isn't God.\" Saint Ignatius of Loyola created a series of meditations to assist people in the discovery of God\'s presence and will in their lives. In the book containing these meditations, the meditator is asked to consider God in nature, His infinite care and attention to both His creations and His own self.
See also:
- *The Life of Moses* - Gregory of Nyssa
- St. Augustine
- Anselm of Canterbury
## Modern Christian theologians {#modern_christian_theologians}
There are several modern theologians who use cataphatic and apophatic theology in their frameworks, such as Karl Rahner, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Dumitru Stăniloae.
Rahner\'s use of cataphatic theology is found in the notion that theology at a base level is positive, and is the aggregate of God\'s word, teaching, and conversation.
Balthasar uses cataphatic theology, or at least positive theology, in his framework of the Trinity where he posits a positive distance between that allows the Trinity to contain all, good and evil.
For Stǎniloae, theology must include affirmation, though theology cannot be entirely positive. If theology was entirely apophatic, it would enter into the realm of \"intellectual nihilism\".
## Cataphatic treatment of ultimate reality in Buddhism {#cataphatic_treatment_of_ultimate_reality_in_buddhism}
Within Mahayana Buddhism, there is a species of scripture which essays a descriptive hint of Ultimate Reality by using positive terminology when speaking of it. This manifestation of Buddhism is particularly marked in the Dzogchen and Tathagatagarbha forms of the religion. Nirvana, for example, is equated with the True Self of the Buddha (pure, uncreated and deathless) in some of the Tathagatagarbha scriptures, and in other Buddhist tantras (such as the Kunjed Gyalpo or \'All-Creating King\' tantra), the Primordial Buddha, Samantabhadra, is described as \'pure and total consciousness\' -- the \'trunk\', \'foundation\' and \'root\' of all that exists.

## In Gaudiya-vaishnavism {#in_gaudiya_vaishnavism}
Gaudiya Vaishnavism speaks positively about transcendental qualities of Krishna. He has 64 transcendental qualities as Supreme Personality of Godhead, although these qualities are explained as non-material and beyond duality. The paradoxical nature of Krishna, the Absolute, being both beyond description and having qualities is discussed throughout the Gaudiya Vaishnavism literature. Among the 64 qualities of Krishna, 4 qualities are unique, which only Krishna has, these are:
- He is the performer of wonderful varieties of pastimes (especially His childhood pastimes).
- He is surrounded by devotees endowed with wonderful love of Godhead.
- He can attract all living entities all over the universes by playing on His flute.
- He has a wonderful excellence of beauty which cannot be rivaled anywhere in the creation.
There are other 60 qualities of Krishna, but Narayana also have them. Of these, 5 are special, which are not found in jiva-atmas or (according to the Vaishnava view) other Hindu deities, even Brahma or Shiva:
- He has inconceivable potency.
- Uncountable universes generate from His body.
- He is the original source of all incarnations.
- He is the giver of salvation to the enemies whom He kills.
- He is the attractor of liberated souls.
Other 55 transcendental qualities are found in Brahma and Shiva, though they are common for Narayana and Krishna, but not found in jiva-atmas. And finally just 50 transcendental qualities can be found in jiva-atmas, who are not on the level of deities, but Krishna and Narayana also have these qualities. It also has to be carefully noted, that these qualities manifest in jiva-atmas only in minute qualities, and only if they become pure devotees of Krishna-Caitanya. On other hand, Krishna has these 64 qualities in full. See full list here: 64 Qualities of Lord Krishna.

# Ministerial act
In United States law, a **ministerial act** is a government action \"performed according to legal authority, established procedures or instructions from a superior, without exercising any individual judgment.\" It can be any act a functionary or bureaucrat performs in a prescribed manner, without exercising any individual judgment or discretion. Under law, this would be classified under the rubric of public policy.
## Examples of what is, and is not, ministerial {#examples_of_what_is_and_is_not_ministerial}
Examples of ministerial acts include:
- the entry of an order of the court by a clerk of the court,
- notarization (acknowledgement) by a notary public,
- mechanical processing of an income tax return
- determining the existence of facts and applying them as required by law, without any discretion
- issuance of a building permit
- approval of a subdivision real estate
- approval of a demolition permit
- a court\'s remand for \"the correction of language in a judgment or the entry of a judgment in accordance with a mandate\"
Actions that are **not** ministerial would include:
- a decision about application of a tax law, auditing of an income tax return, determining facts and applying law to those facts, and prioritizing such returns
## Effects
If a ministerial act is **not** performed, then a court may issue a writ of mandamus to compel the public official to perform said act.
Absolute or sovereign immunity does not apply to the performance or non-performance of ministerial acts

# London Buses route 271
**London Buses route 271** was a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. It ran between Highgate Village and Finsbury Square, and was last operated by Metroline.
## History
Route 271 commenced operating on 20 July 1960 running between Highgate Village and Finsbury Square to replace trolleybus route 611 with AEC Routemasters. The route was initially operated out of Holloway garage and has changed little since its introduction.
On 7 November 1965, new Leyland Atlanteans commenced a six-month trial on route 271. On 17 April 1966, eight XF-class Daimler Fleetlines were transferred from London Country Bus Services\'s East Grinstead garage to Holloway and replaced by XA-class Leyland Atlanteans. After the fuel consumption of the two vehicles was compared, the eight XF-class buses returned to East Grinstead.
On 10 July 1966, route 271 returned to AEC Routemaster operation. On 16 January 1971, it was converted to one-man operation with Daimler Fleetlines.
On 6 June 1987 the route was extended on Sundays from Highgate Village to Hendon Central station to cover the withdrawn part of route 143, although this extension only lasted until 2 February 1991.
For an eight-month period from September 1990, the route was based at Chalk Farm garage, before returning to Holloway.
On 16 May 1992 the route received a weekend extension to Liverpool Street station.
Upon tendering in September 1993, the route transferred to London Suburban Bus, operated from a garage in Edmonton, using red, brown and cream livered Northern Counties Palatine bodied Volvo Olympians.
Route 271 was included in the April 1996 sale of London Suburban Bus to MTL London and transferred back to Holloway, with the existing buses repainted in MTL\'s red livery. MTL London in turn was sold in August 1998 to Metroline. The route received low-floor buses in 1999.
Upon being re-tendered, the route was retained by Metroline with a new contract commencing on 30 September 2005.
On 18 June 2011, route 271 was withdrawn between Finsbury Square and Liverpool Street station due to Crossrail works. When re-tendered, it was retained by Metroline with a new contract commencing on 29 September 2012 with existing double deckers.
In 2018, Transport for London consulted on proposals to withdraw the N271 night bus route. In April 2019, it announced that it would not go ahead with the proposals and that the N271 route would continue to operate.
### Withdrawal
On 4 February 2023, route 271 was withdrawn during the daytime following a successful consultation in early 2022. The night service was re-numbered route N271 and extended to North Finchley. Routes 21 and 263 were revised to replace it either side of Holloway during the day

# Wadi Ara
**Wadi Ara** (*وادي عارة*, *ואדי עארה*) or **Nahal \'Iron** (*נחל עירון*), is a valley and its surrounding area in Israel populated mainly by Arab Israelis. The area is also known as the \"Northern Triangle\".
Wadi Ara is located northwest of the Green Line, in the Haifa District. Highway 65 runs through the wadi. The ancient town of biblical fame, Megiddo, known from Revelation 16:16 as Armageddon, used to guard its northern exit during much of the Bronze and Iron Ages.
## Geography
Wadi Ara is a 20 km wadi (valley) in northern Israel that begins at the meeting point of Samaria, the Menashe Heights, and the Sharon plain. The riverbed begins near Umm al-Fahm and runs southwest on the boundary between the Manasseh hills and the Umm al-Fahm hills. Approximately 1 km west of the Border Patrol intersection on Highway 65, the wadi opens into the Sharon plain, and becomes a tributary of the Hadera Stream, south of Talmei Elazar and north of Tel Zeror.
## History
Wadi Ara is part of the ancient historical route Via Maris, connecting what is now the Israeli coastal plain with the Jezreel Valley and, in a wider sense, Egypt in the west with Syria and Mesopotamia in the east.
### Chalcolithic
The site of En Esur has a main occupational level from the Early Chalcolithic period, when a large village with a temple stood at the well-watered site.
### Early Bronze Age {#early_bronze_age}
Also at En Esur, a walled city covered the site during the Early Bronze Age, an exceptionally early and populous urban centre for the Southern Levant.
### Late Bronze Age: Thutmose III {#late_bronze_age_thutmose_iii}
In the Late Bronze Age, the Egyptian king, Thutmose III (r. 1479-1425 BC), used the route, then called **Aruna**, to surprise his enemies, and take control of Megiddo. According to information from a stela from Armant, the king of Kadesh advanced his army to Megiddo. Thutmose III mustered his own army and departed Egypt, passing through the border fortress of Tjaru (Sile). Thutmose marched his troops through the coastal plain as far as Jamnia, then inland to Yehem, a small city near Megiddo. The ensuing Battle of Megiddo probably was the largest battle in any of Thutmose\'s seventeen campaigns. A ridge of mountains jutting inland from Mount Carmel stood between Thutmose and Megiddo, and he had three potential routes to take. The northern route and the southern route, both of which went around the mountain, were judged by his council of war to be the safest, but Thutmose, in an act of great bravery (or so he boasts, but such self-praise is normal in Egyptian texts), accused the council of cowardice and took a dangerous route through the Aruna mountain pass, which he alleged was only wide enough for the army to pass \"horse after horse and man after man.\"
### Ottoman period {#ottoman_period}
Egyptians came in Wadi \'Ara as a result of waves of immigration during the first half of the 19th century, and the area currently features a number of villages with a substantial population of Egyptian descent.
### 1948-49 war
Captured by Iraqi Arab League forces under the command of Iraqi officer, Captain Khaleel Jassim, in the 1948 Arab--Israeli War, it was ceded to Israel in exchange for territory south of Hebron in the 1949 Israel-Jordan armistice agreement. In March 1949, as the Jordanian army replaced the Iraqi forces, three Israeli brigades moved into positions in Operation *Shin-Tav-Shin*. Following the operation, Israel renegotiated the ceasefire line in the Wadi Ara area of the Northern West Bank in an agreement reached on 23 March 1949 and incorporated into the General Armistice Agreement. These 15 villages were ceded to Israel.
## Educational institutions {#educational_institutions}
Hand in Hand -- Bridge over the Wadi is a bilingual Hebrew-Arabic school located in an Arab village in Wadi Ara. It was established in 2004 with 100 students in kindergarten through third grade. In 2008, classes were offered up to sixth grade and enrollment increased to 200, split evenly between Arabs and Jews.

## Proposed land exchange {#proposed_land_exchange}
The area has come under political attention as some Israeli politicians such as Avigdor Lieberman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party have brought up transferring the area to the sovereignty and administration of the Palestinian Authority for a future Palestinian state. In return the Palestinian Authority would transfer specific large Israeli settlement \"blocs\" within the West Bank east of the Green Line to Israel. According to politicians who support this land-swap, Israel would ensure and secure itself as a primarily Jewish state. However, many politicians within the Knesset disagree and believe it would only decrease Israel\'s Arab population by a mere 10%, while most Israeli Arabs object to trading Israeli citizenship for Palestinian citizenship

# SN 2006gy
**SN 2006gy** was an extremely energetic supernova, also referred to as a hypernova, that was discovered on September 18, 2006. It was first observed by Robert Quimby and P. Mondol, and then studied by several teams of astronomers using facilities that included the Chandra, Lick, and Keck Observatories. In May 2007, NASA and several of the astronomers announced the first detailed analyses of the supernova, describing it as the \"brightest stellar explosion ever recorded\". In October 2007, Quimby announced that SN 2005ap had broken SN 2006gy\'s record as the brightest-ever recorded supernova, and several subsequent discoveries are brighter still. *Time* magazine listed the discovery of SN 2006gy as third in its Top 10 Scientific Discoveries for 2007.
## Characteristics
thumb\|left\|upright=1.2\|Light curve of SN 2006gy (uppermost intermittent squares) compared with other types of supernovae SN 2006gy occurred in the galaxy NGC 1260, approximately 238 million light-years (73 megaparsecs) away. The energy radiated by the explosion has been estimated at 10^51^ ergs (10^44^ J), making it a hundred times more powerful than the typical supernova explosion which radiates 10^49^ ergs (10^42^ J) of energy. Although at its peak the SN 2006gy supernova was intrinsically 400 times as luminous as SN 1987A, which was bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, SN 2006gy was more than 1,400 times as far away as SN 1987A, and thus too far away to be seen without a telescope.
SN 2006gy is classified as a type II supernova because it showed lines of hydrogen in its spectrum, although the extreme brightness indicates that it is different from the typical type II supernova. Several possible mechanisms have been proposed for such a violent explosion, all requiring a very massive progenitor star. The most likely explanations involve the efficient conversion of explosive kinetic energy to radiation by interaction with circumstellar material, similar to a type IIn supernova but on a larger scale. Such a scenario might occur following mass loss of `{{solar mass|10 or more}}`{=mediawiki} in a luminous blue variable eruption, or through pulsational pair instability ejections. Denis Leahy and Rachid Ouyed, Canadian scientists from the University of Calgary, have proposed that SN 2006gy was a quark-nova, heralding the birth of a quark star.
## Similarity to Eta Carinae {#similarity_to_eta_carinae}
Eta Carinae (η Carinae or η Car) is a highly luminous hypergiant star located approximately 7,500 light-years from Earth in the Milky Way galaxy. Since Eta Carinae is 32,000 times closer than SN 2006gy, the light from it will be about a billion-fold brighter. It is estimated to be similar in size to the star which became SN 2006gy. Dave Pooley, one of the discoverers of SN 2006gy, says that if Eta Carinae exploded in a similar fashion, it would be bright enough that one could read by its light on Earth at night, and would even be visible during the daytime. SN 2006gy\'s apparent magnitude (*m*) was 15, so a similar event at Eta Carinae will have an *m* of about −7.5. According to astrophysicist Mario Livio, this could happen at any time, but the risk to life on Earth would be low

# Karl Vernon
**Karl Vernon** MM (19 June 1880 -- 11 July 1973), sometimes known by his nickname **The Bean**, was a British rower and coach who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.
## Life
Vernon was born in Neuenahr, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. He joined Thames Rowing Club in around 1904, first appearing at Henley Royal Regatta in 1906, with Julius Beresford as runners-up in Goblets and in a Thames Cup eight (which also included Bruce Logan). Beresford and Vernon were runners-up in Silver Goblets again in 1907 and 1908.
In the Autumn of 1907, having become frustrated by their inability to impress the Thames coaches, Vernon and Beresford formed a new four with Logan and Charlie Rought. These four (with Vernon in the 2 seat) would stay together, on and off, for the next five years, winning the Stewards\' Challenge Cup at Henley in 1909 and 1911.
Then, with cox Geoffrey Carr, the Thames Rowing Club coxed four won the silver medal for Great Britain rowing at the 1912 Summer Olympics.
In the First World War, he served with the Royal Army Medical Corps and was awarded the Military Medal.
Vernon later became a regular coach at Thames and at numerous University clubs. In 1954, he had all his trophies and medals melted down and made into a trophy for the Head of the River Race.
He was Captain of Thames from 1930--32 and was elected a Vice President of the Club in 1943. Outside rowing, he was an architect, spending at least some of his career at the London County Council. He also designed an extension to the Thames clubhouse. He was a talented draughtsman and sketcher; Vernon\'s works were frequently used as prizes in local regattas.
Vernon was a vegetarian, and this led to his lifelong nickname \"The Bean\"

# Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma
**Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma** (**AITL**, sometimes misspelled **AILT**, formerly known as \"**angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia**\") is a mature T-cell lymphoma of blood or lymph vessel immunoblasts characterized by a polymorphous lymph node infiltrate showing a marked increase in follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) and high endothelial venules (HEVs) and systemic involvement.
## Signs and symptoms {#signs_and_symptoms}
Patients with AITL usually present at an advanced stage and show systemic involvement. The clinical findings typically include a pruritic skin rash and possibly edema, ascites, pleural effusions, and arthritis.
## Causes
AITL was originally thought to be a premalignant condition, termed angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy, and this atypical reactive lymphadenopathy carried a risk for transformation into a lymphoma. It is postulated that the originating cell for AITL is a mature (post-thymic) CD4+ T-cell that arises *de novo*, or that the disease has a premalignant subtype. The Epstein--Barr virus (EBV) is observed in the majority of cases, being identified in the reactive (i.e. non-malignant) B-cells that comprise part of the polymorphous infiltrate of AITL. These EBV+ B cells have numerous non-malignant crippling mutations, often proliferate excessively, and in some cases may transform into EBV+ B cell lymphomas. The other cell types in these infiltrates, including the malignant T~FH~ cells, are EBV negative. While the World Health Organization (2016) has classified these EBV-associated cases as one of the Epstein--Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative diseases (see EBV+ angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma, the role of the virus in the development and progression of EBV+ angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma is unclear. Immunodeficiency is also seen with AITL, but it is a sequela and not a predisposing factor.
## Diagnosis
### Laboratory findings {#laboratory_findings}
The classical laboratory finding is polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, and other immunoglobulin derangements are also seen, including hemolytic anemia with cold agglutinins, circulating immune complexes, anti-smooth muscle antibodies, and positive rheumatoid factor.
### Lymph node {#lymph_node}
The normal architecture of a lymph node is partially effaced by a polymorphous infiltrate and residual follicles are commonly seen. The polymorphous infiltrate consists of lymphocytes of moderate size with pale/clear cytoplasm and smaller reactive lymphocytes, eosinophils, histiocytes, plasma cells, and follicular dendritic cells. In addition, blast-like B-cells are occasionally seen. A classic morphological finding is the aborization and proliferation of high endothelial venules. Hyperplastic germinal centers and Reed-Sternberg-like cells can also be seen.
### Immunophenotype
AITL typically has the phenotype of a mixture of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, with a CD4:CD8 ratio greater than unity. Polyclonal plasma cells and CD21+ follicular dendritic cells are also seen.
### Molecular findings {#molecular_findings}
Clonal T-cell receptor gene rearrangements are detected in 75% of cases, and immunoglobin gene rearrangements are seen in 10% of cases, and these cases are believed to be due to expanded EBV-driven B-cell populations. Similarly, EBV-related sequences can be detected in most cases, usually in B-cells but occasionally in T-cells. Trisomy 3, trisomy 5, and +X are the most frequent chromosomal abnormalities found in AITL cases.
## Treatment
There is a subset of AITL that can remit with immunosuppression with agents like glucocorticoids or methotrexate. Most patients, however, will need combination chemotherapy like CHOP-like chemotherapy backbone- either CHOP alone or CHOP in combination with etoposide (CHOEP). Median response duration is short and median OS is only 15--36 months. Relapsed disease is treated similar to the relapsed PTCL, NOS.\[17\]
## Epidemiology

# Woman III
***Woman III*** is a 1953 painting by abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning. It is one of a series of six *Women* paintings done by de Kooning in the early 1950s, which were first exhibited at the Sidney Janis gallery in 1953. *Woman III* measures 68 by and was completed that same year.
## Analysis
*Woman III* is notable within the series for its more muted palette of grays and whites. The body is outlined in arcs of black; the chest and arms are more voluminous than flat, as in other *Women* paintings. The features of *Woman III*\'s mask-like face are rendered. The figure stands apart from the background.
## Provenance
Acquired by Shahbanu Farah, the painting was part of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art collection from the late 1970s to 1994. After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the painting could not be shown because of strict rules set by the government about the visual arts and acceptable subject matter. Finally, in 1994, the painting was acquired by collector Thomas Ammann and subsequently traded to collector David Geffen for part of a 16th-century Persian manuscript, the *Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasp*.
In November 2006, the painting was sold by Geffen to billionaire Steven A. Cohen for \$137.5 million. It is currently the fourteenth most expensive painting ever bought, and the only of de Kooning\'s early *Woman* series not held in a public collection

# Clydesdale Harriers
**Clydesdale Harriers** are an athletics club, founded in 1885. It was Scotland\'s first amateur open athletics club with the object of promoting amateur athletics generally and cross country running in particular.
The club uses the athletics track at the St Peter the Apostle High School and train on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
## History
### Foundations
Clydesdale Harriers was founded in May 1885 and based in Glasgow and had five sections within the city boundaries and sections were also maintained in Lanarkshire, Dunbartonshire, Ayrshire, Renfrewshire as well as in the towns of Greenock, Ayr and Airdrie. As the sections developed they became independent clubs. Clubs such as Greenock Glenpark AC, Monklands AC and Paisley Harriers clubs owe their start to Clydesdale, as well as private schools\' former-pupil clubs (such as Fettesian-Lorettonian Club) and teams from universities. As was common, sportsmen were often affiliated to clubs in different sports and Clydesdale had links with cycling, boxing, skating and football clubs with a particularly strong link with the Rangers club. Indeed, several founders of the Rangers were also founder members of the Harriers. When Celtic FC was founded they signed up several Harriers including Tom Maley and his brother Willie, who went on to become one of their greatest managers of all time and incidentally President of the Scottish Amateur Athletics Association (SAAA). Up to the first war, the club provided numerous champions and won 14 Scottish National Team Championships.
### After the war {#after_the_war}
Over 200 members were lost in the Great War and the club went from a national club to a local club and settled in Clydebank as its base in the early 1920s. Success was hard to come by, after the war many members just did not want to come back, the entire Committee (with two exceptions) were killed in the hostilities and the Depression meant that many had to work hard including weekends or leave the district in search of work. Nevertheless, the club built up gradually and just when they were starting to \'come good\' the Second War came along. The really bright spot in this period was the running and winning of the Ladies Cross Country team, which won the cross country championship of Scotland in 1936/37/38 and produced the only internationalist in the form of Jean Tait. Nevertheless, the club had many good servants during this period who made sure that during the 1939-45 period a War Continuation Committee was in existence setting its sights on a quicker return to action than had been possible in 1918.
From 1945 to 1960, the club took part in many innovative activities and won many trophies with a host of top class athletes. Clydesdale had been the first to set up a Junior (under-18) section in 1918 and one of the first with a Ladies Section (1931). It organised one of the first annual races for Youths (the Johnny Youth Ballot Team Race) in 1946 and it was a member of the CH who moved that there be a Scottish Championship for under-15 Boys. As far as racing was concerned, John Wright won the national Junior Cross Country Championship twice and the senior men\'s team was third in 1955. The club helped set up the Dunbartonshire County Association with Garscube Harriers, Dumbarton AAC and Vale of Leven AAC, a very successful Association still going strong: at its peak in the late 1980s there were 13 clubs in membership.
### 1960s to present {#s_to_present}
Between 1960 and 1985, the club performed well in all the endurance events with athletes including Phil Dolan, Robert McWatt, Allan Faulds, Ian Leggett and Doug Gemmell all representing Scotland at various levels. In track and field the sole internationalist was Ian Logie, who competed in the pole vault for Scotland three times in one year in the mid-1960s. Over the 1970s the club won the Maley Trophy and were West District Cross Country Champions three times.
In 1985 the club entered the Scottish Men\'s Track and Field League. There were four GB representatives at Under 20 or Senior level (Des Roache, Ewan Calvert, Grant Graham and Jason Allan.
In 1995, the cross country runners won the West District Relays---a title.
In 2003 Graeme Reid won the Scottish National Senior Men\'s Cross Country Championship to be the first Clydesdale to win it since Dunky Wright exactly 80 years earlier

# Battle of Kamani
The **Battle of Kamani** was a battle in the War in Abkhazia (1992-93), on July 9, 1993. The village was captured and many of its inhabitants were massacred or fled.
## Events
During the War in Abkhazia in 1992-93, the villages along the Gumista River (north and east of Sukhumi) such as Kamani, Shroma, and Achadara were mainly populated by ethnic Georgians.
However, the area was very important strategically, as it enabled motorized units to reach Sukhumi, the capital of the autonomous republic. After the failed attempt to storm Sukhumi from the west, the Abkhaz formations and their allies diverted their offensive on the northern and eastern sides of Sukhumi. The Georgian National Guard, volunteer units and battalions made up by local civilians, were taken by surprise. The Georgian side did not expect any offensive from the north or eastern sides of Sukhumi district. Due to this manoeuvring, the Abkhaz and their allies cut through the Georgian front line and attacked the villages along the side of Gumista river. The Georgian side suffered many losses and the defensive line around Sukhumi was breached by the Abkhaz offensive. On July 5, Abkhaz, Russian, Armenian Bagramyan battalion and North Caucasian detachments stormed the villages of Akhalsheni, Guma and Shroma of Sukhumi district. The residents from the villages were rounded up and massacred. The last offensive took place on July 9, on the village of Kamani. Kamani was a Svan (sub-ethnic group of the Georgian people) village which also included the Kamani Monastery (named after St George) and convent (populated by priests and nuns).
The Georgian forces who were protecting the pathways to Kamani were annihilated early in the morning after which the main assault on the village was undertaken at 10 a.m. Within a couple of hours the village fell to Abkhaz separatists and their allies. Soon after the Abkhaz and their allies started a violent rampage against the inhabitants of Kamani

# Southall Railway Centre
**Southall Railway Centre** is a non-publicised railway heritage centre at Southall in west London, near Southall railway station and the Grand Union Canal. Formerly of the Great Western Railway, the site is now run partly by Locomotive Services and West Coast Railways, both of whom lease the site from Network Rail. The location is not open to the public.
Until 2021, the **Great Western Railway Preservation Group** (GWRPG) leased part of the West Coast Railway section of the site for their own use.
## History
There has been a locomotive shed at Southall since 1859. Originally a Great Western Railway shed (code: SHL), it was rebuilt as a six-road shed in 1884. Demolished in 1953, it was replaced by a more modern British Railways constructed steam shed (Code: 81C). Southall was the last London steam depot on the Western Region of British Railways, outlasting Old Oak Common and finally closing to steam in December 1965.
The depot was later used for DMU maintenance for ten years before final operational closure under British Rail. From 1993 to 1998, it was use as a base for the electrification programme for the Heathrow Express.
## Current use {#current_use}
Currently the site, now referred to as the Southall Railway Centre, is used by three independent groups:
- Locomotive Services: Owned by Jeremy Hosking, the company maintains and operates several locomotives including those owned by the Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust. It leases Roads 1 and 2 (those closest to the mainline) from Network Rail.
- West Coast Railways: operational base for several of its preserved mainline-registered steam locomotives.
Great Western Railway Preservation Group previously operated at the site. However, it formally liquidated in September 2021.

# Sikome Lake
The **Sikome Aquatic Facility**, commonly referred to as **Sikome Lake**, is a man-made lake in the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is located in the southeast quadrant of the city, within the Fish Creek Provincial Park, and is part of the Bow River basin. It lies at an elevation of 1005 m and has a surface of 0.4 km2.
First opened in late summer 1978, it is a swimming area open during the summer as a public beach. Up to 20,000 swimmers a day visit the lake during summer week-ends. The beach is staffed by Alberta Provincial Parks aquatic staff. Until the mid-to-late 1980s, the lake was used as a skating rink in the Winter months. Now, during the winter the water is drained, and it takes three weeks to fill the lake every spring. A filtration system that chlorinates the water supply was implemented in 1991 at a cost of \$1.8 million.
For the 2004 season, the lake was closed to public due to construction. It has been closed before, in July 1990 and August 1998, due to excessive contamination from bird droppings and in Summer 2004 due to flooding. A fence was constructed in 2013 to increase public safety and control unwanted behaviour

Among his leading ladies were Priscilla Dean, Kathlyn Williams, Colleen Moore and Annette Kellerman. One of his features was *Mickey*, a 1918 comedy-drama, in which he played the love interest of Mabel Normand.
In 1928, he portrayed the crime boss in the first all-talking feature movie ever made, *Lights of New York*. One clip from this feature has often been revived in compilations, with gang boss Oakman speaking deliberately into a microphone disguised as a telephone: \"Take\... him for\... a *ride.*\"
Wheeler Oakman, usually wearing a dapper mustache, generally portrayed villains, gangsters, or henchmen, frequently appearing in crime thrillers, melodramas, and westerns. In 1932, he appeared alongside Buck Jones in *Sundown Rider* and John Wayne in *Texas Cyclone*.
He worked steadily throughout the 1930s, usually in low-budget westerns and serials, but he did work at the major studios in important feature films like *Operator 13* (M-G-M, 1934) and *G Men* (Warner Bros., 1935).
In 1941 he accepted a leading role in J. D. Kendis\'s very-low-budget exploitation feature *Escort Girl*, opposite another silent-screen veteran, Betty Compson. Their performances were noted by Monogram Pictures, a prolific producer of budget features for neighborhood theaters, and the Kendis film extended their careers. Oakman in particular became a fixture at Monogram, working with Bela Lugosi, ZaSu Pitts, Harry Langdon, Gale Storm, Kay Francis, Shemp Howard, and The East Side Kids, among others.
Oakman became a favorite of Monogram producer Sam Katzman, and when Katzman moved to Columbia Pictures, Oakman followed him. Oakman, now in his late fifties, continued to work in Katzman\'s Columbia serials despite declining health \-- in *Jack Armstrong* he was visibly frail, and was relieved of much of the action by last-minute replacement Charles Middleton.

In 1920, Oakman married popular actress Priscilla Dean, his costar in *Outside the Law* (1920) and *The Virgin of Stamboul* (1920). They were divorced in 1926. On September 22, 1927, he married Virginia Jennings in Los Angeles. On December 27, 1932, he married Frances I. Jones in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In 1949, at age 59, Oakman died in Van Nuys, California.
