# José María Vernet
**José María Vernet** (24 February 1944 -- 23 February 2024) was an Argentine politician of the Justicialist Party. He served as Governor of Santa Fe from 1983 to 1987.
## Life and career {#life_and_career}
Vernet was born in Rosario on 24 February 1944. He enrolled at the National University of Córdoba, and earned a degree in Accountancy.
Vernet would obtain the Justicialist Party\'s nomination for Governor of Santa Fe as a compromise candidate chosen by feuding Peronist factions ahead of elections in 1983. Elected in October, his margin of victory was the closest of the 22 gubernatorial races that year, defeating UCR candidate Aníbal Reinaldo by around 15,000 votes, or 1%. The computerized tallying system failed during a recount of the close election, and Peronist officials themselves later acknowledged the possibility that Reinaldo would have prevailed by 12,000 votes.
Governor Vernet\'s tenure was highlighted by his efforts to decentralize the provincial bureaucratic and judicial systems, establishing a network of municipal courts throughout the province. He did likewise with a variety of public services, transferring numerous local utilities and public housing communities from the provincial aegis to cooperatives based in each town.
Vernet established a number of new offices, however, including the Ministry of Production, Commerce and Industry and Commerce; the *Plan Lote* and *Proyecto Sol* poverty relief programs; and EMPA, an adult education and job training service. He commemorated the bicentennial of early provincial leader Estanislao López in 1986 by establishing the *Cuerpo de Dragones de la Independencia*, an honor guard of the Provincial Police.
Vernet was elected First Vice President of the Justicialist Party in 1984. Vernet\'s tenure as governor became known as the \"Peronist Cooperative\" for the unwieldy coalition he secured between his wing of the Justicialist Party (dominated by Steelworkers Union leader Lorenzo Miguel), and other factions in the big tent party. Vernet faced mounting criticism for the increase in public spending toward the end of his term. Following the end of his term in 1987, his fellow Peronist successor, Víctor Reviglio, advanced numerous investigations of provincial government officials in Vernet\'s administration. Vernet, who had left office with high approval ratings, lost much of his earlier popularity within a year. He summarized the conflictive nature of provincial politics by remarking that, as Santa Fe governors are limited to one consecutive term, \"it would be as awkward to oppose a governor during the first two years, as it would to support him during the last two years.\" The 1985 comment would later be known in Santa Fe as \"Vernet\'s Theorem.\"
Vernet later relocated to Mar del Plata, and was appointed Minister of Production of by the Governor of Buenos Aires, Antonio Cafiero. He was appointed to a minor post by Interior Minister Carlos Corach in the 1990s, and served as Minister of Foreign Relations for ad interim president Adolfo Rodríguez Saá during his very brief rule in the last week of 2001, immediately after the December 2001 riots and the resignation of Fernando de la Rúa.
The presidential candidate on the Federal Commitment ticket in 2011, Alberto Rodríguez Saá, nominated the former governor as his running mate; they obtained fourth place.
Vernet died on 23 February 2024, at the age of 79

# Kingston loop line
The **Kingston loop line** is a railway line built by the London and South Western Railway (L&SWR) in South West London. It was built in two stages, the first of which was opened in 1863 and ran from Twickenham to Kingston. Travel from Kingston to London by that route was a rather circuitous trip. Later, the line was extended from Kingston to Wimbledon in 1869. The line ran independently alongside the Southampton main line from Malden to Wimbledon - where the line connected to other railway lines, which gave access to Ludgate Hill in the City of London, as well as to Waterloo.
When the main line was widened to four tracks in 1884, a direct junction between the Kingston line and the main line was made at New Malden. A grade-separated junction was made to avoid conflicts with main line trains, and after that time the Kingston loop is considered to extend from Twickenham to New Malden only. The Shepperton branch line, opened in 1864, was connected into the Kingston Loop at Strawberry Hill and a triangular junction was later formed there.
The line was electrified in 1916 and a very frequent and attractive train service was put on, encouraging a considerable increase in passenger volume. Usage and train frequency have declined somewhat in recent years, but the line is still an important residential travel artery; Kingston remains an important shopping centre and attracts off-peak travel.
## History
The London and Southampton Railway opened its main line from Nine Elms (London) to Woking Common on 21 May 1838. It had a station called Kingston, but it was some distance from the centre of the town. Considerable residential and commercial development took place around the new Kingston station over the years, but the traditional centre of Kingston continued to thrive.
The L&SR continued its main line to Southampton, and it changed its title to the London and South Western Railway in 1839. The line was extended eastwards from the Nine Elms terminus, opening a station at Waterloo, and first named Waterloo Bridge, in 1848.
### Richmond, and Windsor to London {#richmond_and_windsor_to_london}
The independent Richmond Railway obtained an authorising Act in 1845 to build from Richmond to Falcon Bridge, Wandsworth, at the present day Clapham Junction. It opened its line on 27 July 1846, and soon sold its concern to the LSWR, effective on 31 December 1846.
Another independent concern got its Act in 1847; it was called the Windsor, Staines and South Western Railway. Its Act authorised construction from Richmond through Twickenham to Datchet, and a loop line that we now know as the Hounslow Loop. The intention was to extend from Datchet to Windsor. The line opened from Richmond to Twickenham and Datchet on 22 August 1848. The WS&WR company was merged with the LSWR on 30 June 1850.
### Twickenham to Kingston {#twickenham_to_kingston}
Powers were sought for a branch from Twickenham to near the Middlesex foot of Kingston Bridge in Hampton Wick, avoiding the expense of a bridge across the River Thames. Residents of Kingston wanted the line to extend over the river into their town, and a deputation to the LSWR petitioned for that; the LSWR agreed. The contract went to Thomas Brassey for £48,193, and he constructed the three and a half-mile (6 km) line.
The line opened on 1 July 1863 with stations at Teddington for Bushey Park, Hampton Wick, and the terminus of (New) Kingston. The Kingston station on the main Southampton line was renamed Surbiton & Kingston on the same day.
### North and South Western Junction Railway {#north_and_south_western_junction_railway}
The North and South Western Junction Railway had opened on 1 August 1853, connecting Willesden Junction on the London and North Western Railway with Kew. The company was sponsored by the LNWR, the Midland Railway and the North London Railway, and was planned to give access from all those companies to the LSWR lines.
Much of the traffic was inter-company goods movements, but the North London Railway gave access to Fenchurch Street and the City of London for residential travel. The company had been working passenger trains into Richmond and Twickenham, reversing at Kew and Barnes to get there. The LSWR disliked the incursion of alien trains entering its territory, although it gave LSWR passengers access ultimately to Fenchurch Street station, in the City of London, by change of trains.
As part of the works for the Kingston line, the LSWR constructed new curves at Kew and Barnes to enable the N&SWJR trains to run directly, without reversal. Those curves were opened for traffic in readiness, on 1 February 1862, and by running powers already granted, the N&SWJR trains ran through to and to Kingston.
In 1869 a more direct line for the trains from Willesden was opened to Richmond, and the North London Railway passenger trains were transferred to Richmond, where they used a terminal part of the station.
### LSWR to the City {#lswr_to_the_city}
The LSWR had its London terminus at Waterloo. The N&SWJR provided a route to London, but it was very roundabout and usually involved a change of trains. The LSWR found an ally in the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, and the LC&DR had a station at Ludgate Hill. A connection was made from the Windsor and Richmond lines at Clapham Junction (where the station opened on 2 March 1863). The line crossed under the LSWR and London, Brighton and South Coast Railway main lines, making an end-on connection with the LCDR line, which continued past the location of the later Stewarts Lane, and climbed to Factory Junction, where it joined the main line from Victoria. Further east that line served a junction which led north to Loughborough Junction.
This route was brought into use on 1 March 1866, and the LSWR passenger service to Ludgate Hill began on Easter Tuesday 3 April 1866. The first service was from Kingston via Clapham Junction, Brixton, and Loughborough junction. The LSWR had its own booking office at Ludgate Hill, which it maintained until 1890.

## History
### Kingston to Wimbledon {#kingston_to_wimbledon}
Kingston was at the southern end of a great arc round from Twickenham, and there had been several schemes for more direct connections, to the south-west and to the north-east, and particularly the City of London. All of these had failed, but the LSWR saw the imperative of making some better connection itself. The solution was a Kingston Further Extension Line, authorised by an Act of 19 June 1865 with supplementary share capital of £120,000. It had agreed with the London, Chatham and Dover Railway on access to Ludgate Hill station, in the city, for its suburban trains.
The line was therefore to continue the Kingston branch through Norbiton, and to burrow under the LSWR main line near the present-day New Malden. The line would then continue independently alongside the main line on its south side, to Wimbledon station. At Wimbledon it would join the Tooting, Merton and Wimbledon Railway, when it opened. That was to be jointly owned between the LSWR and the LBSCR, and to run as far as Streatham Junction. From there the LSWR got running powers over the LBSCR as far as a planned Knights Hill Junction, near the present Tulse Hill station. The LCDR was building a short connecting line from Knights Hill Junction to Herne Hill, which gave access over the LCDR to Ludgate Hill. The running powers also got the LSWR the facility of getting goods trains to and from Deptford Wharf on the LBSCR.
The Tooting, Merton and Wimbledon Railway opened on 1 October 1868, and on 1 January 1869 the Knights Hill Junction to Herne Hill line was ready. On that day the Kingston -- Malden -- Wimbledon line was opened, and the Kingston to Ludgate Hill passenger service was started on the same day.
The original Kingston station had been a terminus and was unsuitable for dealing with the eastward extension, so a new high level station was built alongside for the purpose; the high level was dictated by the need to cross Richmond Road. A level crossing had been proposed earlier, but it was realised that this was impracticable. Terminating trains at Kingston from Twickenham continued to use the low-level station.
For some time, the Kingston to Ludgate Hill trains used a distinct section of the Wimbledon station, east of Wimbledon Hill Road, while the LBSCR lines and the TM&WR used a location east of the road overbridge. There was no connection at Malden between the Kingston line and the main line. The Wimbledon and Dorking Railway line had opened in 1859 and made a junction with the main line at that time. The location was called Epsom Junction, at the place where Raynes Park station was built in 1871. Now that the Kingston lines were being opened alongside the main line, the Epsom line was altered to make a junction with the Kingston lines instead of the main line. East of Wimbledon, there was a connection into the main line in addition to the Tooting route.
### Shepperton branch {#shepperton_branch}
The LSWR opened a branch line to Shepperton on 1 November 1864. The branch had been planned and constructed by the Thames Valley Railway, which was absorbed with the LSWR on by agreement of 21 December 1864. It joined the Kingston branch at Thames Valley Junction, where Strawberry Hill station was later built. As the Malden and Wimbledon connection had not yet been built, the junction led towards Twickenham, and the Shepperton to London passenger train service naturally ran via Richmond.
The Shepperton line became heavily involved with Kempton Park Racecourse, which generated huge volumes of passenger and equine traffic on and around race days, although there was little activity outside those times.
Over time the north facing connection at Strawberry Hill became a nuisance, and the LSWR built a southward curve at the junction, from Fulwell Junction (on the branch) to Shacklegate Junction (towards Kingston). At first this was used for goods trains and race day specials only, but in time, and at the present day, it is the dominant route for London trains.
### Quadrupling the main line {#quadrupling_the_main_line}
At first there was no connection whatever between the Kingston lines and the main lines alongside, but in April 1880 an interconnection was made at the west end of Coombe and Malden station. In 1881 Wimbledon station was developed into a unified station by the LSWR.
The main line was quadrupled from Malden to Surbiton in 1882: a third track was commissioned on 11 September and the fourth on 1 December. East of Malden the Kingston tracks were incorporated with the main line to form an ordinary quadruple track section; the Local Lines were on the outside. The four tracks. The junction for Kingston was changed; the Up Kingston line directly joined the Up Local Line on the north side of the main line. There is some dispute over the exact date, but it was probably brought into use on Tuesday, 25 March 1884. A few days earlier a diveunder had been created for the Up Epsom line, so that it ran into the up Local Line without interference with the other tracks. This was commissioned on 16 March 1884.
### Twickenham flyover {#twickenham_flyover}
The original Kingston line left the Richmond to Windsor line by a flat junction at Twickenham. As train frequencies increased, the junction became a source of congestion, and a flyover for the up Kingston line was opened on 22 October 1883. The Up line continued to a new independent platform at the north side of Twickenham station, joining the up Windsor line at the east end.
## Electrification
In the first decade of the twentieth century, the LSWR was increasingly aware of the competitive disadvantage of its steam operated suburban passenger services, and the decision was taken to electrify certain routes. There was to be a two-stage process, and the Kingston Loop (and the Shepperton branch line) were in stage one. The third rail system at 660 V DC was adopted.
The system was commissioned on Sunday 30 January 1916, and a new timetable was brought in, with acceleration of journey times but above all a very frequent train service. This radically improved the popularity of the LSWR\'s suburban trains.
Up until this time there had still been a limited service from Kingston to Ludgate Hill, LCDR, for the city. In fact the LCDR had shifted its City service to use Holborn Viaduct station from 1871, and eventually the LSWR trains were the only ones using Ludgate Hill. That came to an end with electrification of the LSWR.
Until 1939 there were a few night trains that were steam hauled. The electric traction was switched off at night, as it was fed by rotary converters which had to be manned. The night steam operation saved the expense of the staffing.

## Early train services {#early_train_services}
When Kingston station first opened in 1863 there were 15 up and 13 down trains on the Twickenham and Waterloo route and nine each way to and from Fenchurch Street, most of them involving a change at Camden Road. About half the trains were composed of LSWR stock, the rest of North London Railway vehicles. LSWR and NLR locomotives were transferred at Kew.
After the opening of the link between Kingston and Malden there were eleven trains daily to Ludgate Hill, passengers for Waterloo changing at Wimbledon and those for Victoria at Herne Hill. Demand for a direct service to Waterloo soon made itself felt; there were only two through trains each way at first but in time a roundabout service (referred to as such in LSWR publicity) was operated, Waterloo to Waterloo via Wimbledon, Kingston and Twickenham. By 1909 there were 39 trains from Waterloo to Kingston via Wimbledon each weekday, with a running time of 37 minutes over the 12 miles off peak, and by omitting some stops, 25 minutes in the peaks. There were by this time only two trains (both in the evening) from Ludgate Hill. At this time there was a daily milk train and six goods workings between Malden and Teddington, serving the intermediate yards. There were two workings from the Midland Railway at Brent; the chief traffic was house coal, and fuel for the gas works near Hampton Wick.
When the line was electrified, there were four trains an hour each way, with an additional two for the Shepperton branch.
In the years 1930 to 1937 there was a series of through excursions from Kingston to Kent Coast resorts on Sundays.
### Kingston station reconstructed {#kingston_station_reconstructed}
When the high level part of Kingston station was constructed, there was a limited attempt to integrate it with the original terminus, which continued in use. In October 1934 a project to reconstruct the station was approved; it would cost £40,500. All the old street-level buildings were replaced by an imposing red brick entrance and shop block prominently sited at the corner of Richmond Road and Wood Street. Teddington station was also modernised, with £11,700 spent on improvements.
## Present day passenger train service {#present_day_passenger_train_service}
At present (2023) there is generally a half-hour frequency of trains Waterloo to Waterloo round the Kingston Loop in each direction. In addition there is a half-hourly service Waterloo to Shepperton via Kingston. Some limited enhancements take place in the peaks. A more limited service is given on Sundays, including some terminations at Kingston, running from Waterloo via Hounslow to Twickenham and reversing there.

# Abraham Judah ha-Kohen Schwartz
**Abraham Judah ha-Kohen Schwartz** (*\'\'\'Schwartz Ábrahám\'\'\'*; 1824--1883), also known by his responsa as the **Kol Aryeh**, was one of the leading Hungarian rabbis of the nineteenth century.
He was a student of Moses Sofer and Benjamin Wolf Low. From 1861 to 1881 he served as the Rabbi of Beregszasz, Hungary and then until 1883 in his native town of Mad. He was an active participant in the rabbinical gathering in Nagymihaly in 1866 and at the congress held in Budapest in 1869.
Although Rabbi Schwartz studied in the Pressburg Yeshiva whose leaders were opposed to Hasidism, he became deeply attached to Hasidism after a visit he made to Chaim Halberstam, the founder of the Sanz hasidic dynasty.
His son Naftali Schwartz (1843--1896) succeeded him as rav of Mád. Schwartz wrote only one work titled *Kol Aryeh,* but its influence on the rabbis of Hungary was great. One of his great-grandchildren, Dov Ber Spitzer (son-in-law of Chaim Zvi Ehrenreich (1875-1936), Rabbi of Mad from 1932 to 1936), wrote his biography, published under the title *Toldos Kol Aryeh* (1940). See also \"Hakol Aryeh\", circa 2004

# Tourdion
The ***tourdion*** (or *tordion*) (from the French verb \"tordre\" / to twist) is a lively dance, similar in nature to the galliard, and popular from the mid-15th to the late-16th centuries, first in the Burgundian court and then all over the French kingdom. The dance was accompanied frequently by the basse danse, due to their contrasting tempi, and were danced alongside the pavane and galliard, and the allemande and courante, also in pairs.
In a triple meter, the tourdion\'s \"was nearly the same as the Galliard, but the former was more rapid and smooth than the latter\". Pierre Attaingnant published several tourdions in his first publication of collected dances in 1530, which contains, as the sixth and seventh items, a basse dance entitled \"La Magdalena\" with a following tourdion (it was only in 1949 that César Geoffray arranged this \"following\" tourdion as a four-voice chanson, by adding the lyrics \"Quand je bois du vin clairet\...\"). Thoinot Arbeau later documented information about the tourdion in his work *Orchésographie* (*Orchesography*, pp. 49--57), published in 1589.
## Dance elements {#dance_elements}
Nearly all variations on the dance are based upon the simple *cinq pas* (five step) tourdion. The *cinq pas* begins in either a *posture droit* or *posture gauche* (the former with the right foot slightly in front, the latter with the left), with weight evenly distributed between the feet. Assuming a *posture gauche*, a *pied en l\'air droit* and a *petit saut* follow in one beat, that is, a small kick of the right foot into the air at the same time as a slight hop as to land with the left foot (It should be remembered that all *pieds en l\'air* are accompanied by the *petit saut* of the opposite foot.).
The step is repeated as a *pied en l\'air gauche*, with the left foot kicked into the air and a slight hop to land upon the right. The two steps are then repeated, with care that the kicks are small (as the dance is brisk). Following the four kicks, one performs a *saut moyen*---a small jump into the air that pulls the feet into the *posture gauche* or *droit*---whichever is the opposite of the first. This combination of the *saut moyen* and the *posture* is typically called a *cadence*.
The process repeats, mirrored to reflect the new starting posture, until the song ends

# San Michele Visdomini
**San Michele Visdomini** is a Roman Catholic church in the centre of Florence, central Italy. The original church of San Michele was demolished in 1368 to make space for the tribunes of the new Cathedral of Florence. Soon it was rebuilt in its present location to a design by Giovanni di Lapo Ghini, with later facade (1577-1590) by Bartolomeo Ammannati. A chapel for Francesco Pucci houses a *Holy Family and Saints* by Jacopo Pontormo.
The name *Visdomini* derives from the simplification of a title of an administrator in an episcopal office (a \"vice domino\")

# Heritage University
**Heritage University** (formerly named **Holy Names College** and **Fort Wright College**) is a private university on the Yakama Indian Reservation in Toppenish, Washington, United States. It offers associate, bachelor\'s, and master\'s degrees.
## History
Founded in 1907 by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary as Holy Names College in Spokane, Washington, the institution subsequently changed its name to Fort Wright College. In 1982, Fort Wright College moved its administration to Toppenish and was renamed Heritage College, which operated there and in Omak, while maintaining the Spokane campus. Five years later, the Spokane campus was closed.
A fire which started on July 8, 2012, destroyed the university\'s oldest building, Petrie Hall.
## Cooperative agreements {#cooperative_agreements}
Heritage University offers upper-division classes at three Washington community college campuses to allow students to work toward a four-year degree from Heritage. This cooperative program began in 1993 to allow holders of associate degrees from Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake to apply their credits toward a Heritage bachelor\'s degree. Similar cooperative arrangements were established with Columbia Basin College in Pasco and Highline Community College in Des Moines in 2003 and 2006, respectively

# New Life Christian Fellowship
**New Life Christian Fellowship** (NLCF) is an evangelical Christian church in Blacksburg, Virginia that ministers to the Virginia Tech and New River Valley communities. An estimated 200 worshipers attend one of the church\'s three weekly gatherings, most of whom are college students attending services on the Virginia Tech campus.
## Beliefs and practices {#beliefs_and_practices}
Regarding the Apostles\' Creed and the Nicene Creed, members of NLCF \"stand together with Christians everywhere across the centuries that have embraced these basic statements of faith. These creeds form the core expression of our faith.\" The tripartite mission of NLCF is to:
1. invest in spiritual growth,
2. invite others to follow Jesus, and
3. inspire each other to change the world.
Although NLCF\'s weekly services draw large crowds, much of the church life takes place in small groups. Members meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays in \"homegroups\" that attract between 20 and 40 in the same age bracket. Smaller \"lifegroups\" with 5 to 10 members, typically all male or all female, also meet for more weighty spiritual discussions, Bible study, and prayer.
Because the majority of NLCF\'s members are college students, the church\'s staff members must raise support for their own salary. This process typically lasts at least nine months after training.
## History
[JR Woodward](http://www.jrwoodward.net/) founded in church in 1989 as a part of Great Commission Ministries, a quasi-denominational organization. NLCF leaders have cited the church\'s \"sending capacity\" as being more important than its \"seating capacity.\" In 2003, Woodward and other members of NLCF planted a church in Los Angeles named [Kairos Los Angeles](http://kairos.la), and in 2008, NLCF partnered with a church in Maryland to establish another seed church in Richmond, Virginia.
Closer to home, the church branched off into two congregations in 2007: a \"downtown\" congregation that serves non-student New River Valley residents and a Virginia Tech congregation that caters to the younger student population. NLCF also purchased the old Red Cross building in Blacksburg to increase its visibility in the local community, although renovations have delayed the new site\'s opening.
### Virginia Tech shooting {#virginia_tech_shooting}
Following the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007, NLCF received widespread media coverage. Christianity Today reported that two NLCF members died in the shootings and ten others were somehow connected to the church in a feature article on the church. NLCF pastor Jim Pace was a guest on *Larry King Live* and *Good Morning America*, and CNN created a video of the church\'s memorial service. Several other newspapers, magazines, and radio shows carried quotes from NLCF pastors.
On the night of the shooting, Pace told a national audience on *Larry King Live* that the church was
> just trying to focus on giving some people a variety of different ways they can deal with this. We have some larger group things for people that want to process this with lots of people. And then we\'ve got some smaller things for people that want to hole up in their \-- in their dorm or in their apartment and just kind of try to sort this out with a few friends. We\'re just trying to be as many places as we can. We\'re helping out with what the university is doing, as well, and just trying to lend our support there.
In response, Dr. Phil McGraw applauded Jim Pace\'s comments and efforts on *Larry King Live*, saying, \"God bless Pastor Pace for being on site and stepping up and providing a place for people to go to share their thoughts, share their feelings.\"`{{Attribution needed|date=April 2011}}`{=mediawiki}
The morning after the shooting, Pace responded to a request on *Good Morning America* for a single comforting sentence by saying that \"any sentence would probably just sound fairly trite.\" He also pointed to free will as part of the cause of the incident and encouraged people to draw closer to God.
*The Washington Post* reported that Pace said, \"We learned evil is real and evil can hurt us, but God\'s love is real.\" Matt Rogers, another NLCF pastor, was interviewed on NPR\'s *Morning Edition*, encouraging people to \"overcome evil with good\"

# Fisher Building (Chicago)
**The Fisher Building** is 20-story, 275 ft neo-Gothic landmark building located at 343 South Dearborn Street in the Chicago Loop community area of Chicago. Commissioned by paper magnate Lucius Fisher, the original building was completed in 1896 by D.H. Burnham & Company with an addition later added in 1907.
## History
At the time of its completion, the building was one of two buildings in Chicago that was 18 stories or greater, the other being the Masonic Building (which was 21 stories tall). To this day, the Fisher Building is the oldest 18 story building in Chicago that has not been demolished. The Masonic Temple, while taller and older, was demolished in 1939.
The original structure was designed by Charles B. Atwood of D.H. Burnham & Company. In 1906, an addition on the northern side of the building raised it from 18 to 20 stories. A former employee of the Burnham firm, Peter J. Weber, designed and oversaw the building\'s addition which was completed in 1907.
The Fisher Building features terra-cotta carvings of various aquatic creatures including fish and crabs. In addition, there are eagles, dragons and mythical creatures depicted on the facade as well.
The building houses apartments on floors 3--20 and commercial stores on the first and second floors.
The Fisher Building was designated a Chicago Landmark on June 7, 1978, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1976.
## Notable Tenants (Past and Present) {#notable_tenants_past_and_present}
The main headquarters of the C.A. Dunham Company used to occupy the Fisher Building for most of the 20th Century. Dunham was the inventor of the thermostatic steam trap for use on radiator (heating) equipment, and a pioneer in the development of steam heating systems. As time went on, they merged with the Bush Manufacturing Company to become the [Dunham-Bush Company](http://www.dunham-bush.com). Later they purchased the Warren-Webster Company, another steam heating pioneer. Eventually the steam heating division was sold off to become Marshall Engineered Products Company or [MEPCO](http://www.mepcollc.com/index.html).
The building is currently host to Wheeler Kearns Architects and to numerous members of staff teaching at University of Illinois at Chicago and other institutions

# San Martino del Vescovo
**San Martino del Vescovo**, also known as the **Oratorio dei Buonomini di San Martino**, is a Roman Catholic parish church, located in the small piazza of the same name in Florence, Italy.
The ancient church of San Martino del Vescovo (Saint Martin of the Bishop) was an established place of worship in medieval Florence. Its documented existence can be traced back to the year 986. Either founded or endowed by the Bishop of Fiesole, the church was originally orientated differently to the existing oratory, and the building essentially caused the once sizeable piazza in which it was built to be bisected. This operation formed what is now known as the Piazza San Martino, which opens out in front of the Buonomini's oratory and the Piazza del Cimatore.
The lay confraternity of the Buonomini (otherwise known as the Procurators of the Shamed Poor of Florence) was formed to benefit the *poveri vergognosi* (\"the shamed poor\"), as a grey stone plaque below a charity box announces on the façade. It was founded in 1442 by St Antonino Pierozzi and aided by a donation from Cosimo de\' Medici the Elder. At some point in the past (certainly prior to 1482), their charitable operation moved from the house of Primerano di Jacopo, the shoemaker and one of the initial twelve good men, to the oratory in which they still reside to this day.
Nine of the interior frescoes are attributed to the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio although their dating remains a contentious issue. Eight of the cycle of ten murals are based on the Seven Works of Corporal Mercy and show the Buonomini performing activities based on these tasks. The brothers are depicted giving food and drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, giving shelter to pilgrims, releasing a debtor from gaol, burying the dead, witnessing an espousal and making an initial visit to a family in need. The two frescoes which flank the altar show scenes from the life of St Martin of Tours. The lunette to the left of the altar shows Martin dividing his cloak for the beggar and the one to the right, depicts *The Dream of Saint Martin*; the latter has recently been attributed to Lorenzo di Credi. Inside is an altarpiece of a *Madonna with Infant Jesus and St. John* by Niccolò Soggi and a bust of St Antoninus which is attributed to Verrocchio.
The Buonomini are to this day active in Florence although their charitable activities remain secret. Each Friday afternoon the twelve good men meet in the Sala Riunioni to discuss the confraternity\'s business. The frescoes and the interior of the oratory underwent a sympathetic restoration program in April 2011.

# Dead or Alive discography
The discography of Dead or Alive, a British dance-pop group, consists of six studio albums, seven compilation albums, twenty-eight singles, and two video albums. Formed by frontman Pete Burns in 1980 in Liverpool, the band were first signed to the independent Rough Trade label in 1982, though moved to Epic Records the following year. Their debut album, *Sophisticated Boom Boom*, was released in 1984, producing a series of minor hits in the UK, most notably their version of \"That\'s the Way (I Like It)\" (originally recorded by KC and the Sunshine Band) which gave them their first UK Top 40 hit.
Their second album, *Youthquake* (1985), reached the UK Top 10 and brought the band international recognition, largely due to the success of the lead single, \"You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)\" which reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 11 on the US *Billboard* Hot 100 in 1985. The album also contained three other UK Top 40 hits: \"Lover Come Back to Me\", \"In Too Deep\", and \"My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me to the Doctor)\". The band\'s third album, *Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know*, was released in 1986, and contained two UK Top 40 hits. In 1988, the group released their fourth studio album, *Nude*, which failed to sell in their native UK but brought the band success in Japan, spawning three No. 1 singles including 1988\'s \"Turn Around & Count 2 Ten\". After the album\'s official release, two members of the group left with only singer Burns and percussionist Steve Coy remaining. Together, they released three more studio albums: *Fan the Flame (Part 1)* (1990), *Nukleopatra* (1995) and *Fragile* (2000).

# Dumbrăvița, Timiș
**Dumbrăvița** (*Újszentes*, until 1906 *Vadászerdő*; *Neusentesch*; formerly **Uisenteș** and **Sintești**) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of a single village, Dumbrăvița. One of the most developed and rich communes in Romania, Dumbrăvița has become in recent years a suburb of Timișoara.
## Geography
Dumbrăvița is located in the Timiș Plain, in the center of Timiș County, in the peri-urban area of Timișoara, to which it is attached. It borders Covaci, Cerneteaz and Giarmata to the north, Giarmata-Vii to the east and Timișoara to the south. Dumbrăvița is crossed by Behela and Niarad, two streams flowing about a kilometer away from the village. Their stream beds are poorly developed, and the streamflows are low.
### Climate
The area is characterized by a moderate continental climate with Mediterranean influences. The average annual temperature in Dumbrăvița is 12.4 C. The temperatures are highest on average in August, at around 23.4 C. The lowest average temperatures in the year occur in January, when it is around 0.6 C. The annual rainfall is 717 mm. The period spanning from March to September has low atmospheric humidity, with values varying between 61% (July) and 69% (March). Sunny days represent about 75% of the total days. North winds have a higher frequency, followed by northeast winds. Mild winters and hot summers benefit the area, providing good conditions for early agricultural work.
### Flora and fauna {#flora_and_fauna}
Spontaneous fauna is represented by hares, wild boars, foxes, voles, hamsters and birds such as quails and pheasants.
The vegetation is steppe-specific. Among the grasses can be found the blue eryngo and the feather grass, and among the shrubs the dog rose and the blackthorn.

# Dumbrăvița, Timiș
## History
Dumbrăvița was founded in 1891 by the colonization of 133 Hungarian families from Szentes, a town 50 km from Szeged. The colonization was officially organized and supported by the Hungarian government. It ordered the partial deforestation of the Green Forest that surrounds Timișoara, in order to accommodate the new settlement. However, the territory occupied today by Dumbrăvița has been inhabited since the Daco-Roman era, here being discovered five houses and three household pits dating from the 2nd--3rd centuries AD. The settlement seems to have been abandoned at the end of the 15th century, most likely due to the numerous attacks of the Turks. The new settlement founded in 1891 was called *Vadászerdő*; it is the translation from German into Hungarian of the compound word *Jagdwald*, which meant \"hunting forest\", the current Green Forest, used by Count Claude Florimond de Mercy, Austrian governor of Banat, after the conquest of the province by the Habsburgs. In 1892 the village already had several streets. At the request of its inhabitants, the village was renamed *Újszentes* (\"New Szentes\").
The construction of the Reformed church began in 1897, being funded by the Hungarian state; its consecration took place in 1901. Until then, locals belonged to the Reformed church in Timișoara. Very few at the beginning, Romanians started to settle in Dumbrăvița in greater numbers after the union of Banat with Romania. Thus, in 1921--1922, several families from Rusko Selo and Torak, from Serbian Banat and a few others from Comloșu Mare settled in Dumbrăvița. In 1927, another 42 Romanian families were put in possession of land. In the same year the Orthodox parish was established. In 1964, the name of the village was changed from *Újszentes* to the current name *Dumbrăvița* (literally \"grove\"). After the demolition of the church in Stanciova, in 1976, authorities approved the construction of a Roman Catholic church here. The first Eastern Orthodox church in Dumbrăvița was built only in 2005.
## Demographics
Dumbrăvița had a population of 7,522 inhabitants at the 2011 census, up 179% from the 2002 census. More recent estimates show that the population of Dumbrăvița has exceeded 10,000 inhabitants. Most inhabitants are Romanians (76.07%), larger minorities being represented by Hungarians (14.05%) and Germans (1.16%). For 6.37% of the population, ethnicity is unknown. By religion, most inhabitants are Orthodox (67.34%), but there are also minorities of Roman Catholics (10.5%), Reformed (7.25%), Pentecostals (1.78%), Greek Catholics (1.75%) and Baptists (1.62%). For 6.99% of the population, religious affiliation is unknown.

## Economy
According to a study by the Regionalization Advisory Council in 2013, Dumbrăvița is the most developed locality in Romania. In recent years, Dumbrăvița has experienced a strong development, given its proximity to Timișoara, Dumbrăvița tending to become a suburb of the city. This development was mainly due to projects on European funds; between 2007 and 2013 alone, Dumbrăvița attracted over 3 million euros. Dumbrăvița\'s economy is dominated by the rising service sector, to which is added a well-developed industrial sector. The agricultural activities have an insignificant weight in the commune\'s economy, being reduced to the practice of subsistence farming. Trade is the subsector that has known the widest entrepreneurial dynamics, so that, currently, over 35% of the companies in Dumbrăvița are active in this field.

# Voigt pipe
The **Voigt pipe** is a type of loudspeaker enclosure that embodies a combination of transmission line, ported enclosure and horn characteristics. It is highly regarded by some speaker designers, as evidenced by established manufacturers such as Castle. Due to its relatively high efficiency the design is frequently employed in full-range loudspeaker designs.
The concept is that the sound emitted from the rear of the loudspeaker driver is progressively reflected and absorbed along the length of the tapering tube, almost completely preventing internally reflected sound being re-transmitted through the cone of the loudspeaker. The lower part of the pipe acts as a horn while the top can be visualized as an extended compression chamber. The entire pipe can also be seen as a tapered transmission line in inverted form, that is, widening rather than narrowing from top to bottom. The driver is usually positioned close to the middle of the baffle or slightly lower. Its relatively low adoption in commercial speakers can mostly be attributed to the large resulting dimensions of the speaker produced and the expense of manufacturing a rigid tapering tube.
The Voigt pipe was designed in 1934 by Paul G. A. H. Voigt and is also referred to as a tapered quarter-wave pipe (TQWP) or tapered quarter-wave tube (TQWT)

# Isolino di San Giovanni
The **Isolino di San Giovanni** is a small island belonging to the Borromean group of Lake Maggiore, one of the main subalpine lakes of northern Italy. It is situated some way to the north of the others in the group, 30 metres west of the shoreline of Pallanza, a frazione of Verbania. It is part of the frazione Pallanza.
The earliest extant record of the island is from the year 999, when it was identified as *Isola di Sant'Angelo* , referring to a chapel dedicated to Saint Michael found within its castle. In the middle of the twelfth century the island was in the possession of counts belonging to the Barbavara di Gravellona family. The Borromeos made various attempts to obtain the Isolino di San Giovanni in the late sixteenth century with the aim of establishing a Barnabite college. They finally acquired it in 1632 and embellished it with a palazzo and gardens. Today the Borromean palazzo reflects for the most part its nineteenth-century aspect.
Its most famous resident was the conductor Arturo Toscanini who used the island as his summer home from 1932 to 1954 (excepting the years spanning World War II)

# List of Holby City episodes
*Holby City* is a British medical drama television series that was broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom between 12 January 1999 and 29 March 2022. The series was created by Tony McHale and Mal Young as a spin-off from the BBC medical drama *Casualty*, which is set in the emergency department of the Holby City Hospital, based in the fictitious town of Holby. The show focuses on the lives, both professional and personal, of the medical and ancillary staff on the hospital\'s surgical wards. It is primarily filmed at the BBC Elstree Centre in Borehamwood. Young wanted to explore what happened to patients treated in *Casualty* once they were taken away to the hospital\'s surgical wards. He opined that *Casualty* limited itself to \"accident of the week\" storylines, while *Holby City* allowed the possibility of storylines about long-term care, rather than immediate life-and-death decisions. A police procedural spin-off, *HolbyBlue*, began airing from 8 May 2007, running for two series before being cancelled due to poor viewing figures. The spin-off features a crossover with *Holby City* in its second series.
The show has aired twenty-three full series. The drama reached its 1000th episode on 5 November 2019, and was cancelled in June 2021. The first series of *Holby City* ran for nine episodes, which was increased to sixteen and thirty episodes for the second and third series respectively. Subsequent series contain fifty-two episodes and were broadcast on a weekly basis. Young associated the rise of episodes with the show\'s success. Some series have additional episodes: series ten and twenty-one contain fifty-three episodes, series twelve contains fifty-five episodes, and series nineteen contains sixty-four episodes, due to internal BBC reasons. Series twenty-two contains a reduced forty-four episodes following a four-month production break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The following series was also reduced to fifty episodes.
For the first series, episodes were 50 minutes in length. Since then, episodes have mostly been approximately an hour in length. Episode lengths were temporarily reduced to 40 minutes midway through series 22 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The show was originally broadcast on Tuesday nights in the 8.10 pm, before moving to Thursday nights in the 8pm timeslot from the second series. Midway through series three, broadcast reverted to Tuesday nights, now in the 8.05 pm timeslot. It was later moved to an 8pm timeslot from the fourth series. *Holby City* temporarily returned to the Thursday night timeslot for two months during series nine, allowing *HolbyBlue* to air in its usual timeslot. As a consequence of episodes being reduced to 40 minutes, the serial was moved to a 7.50 pm timeslot.

# Hope (instrumental)
**Hope** is an acoustic instrumental from Rush\'s 2007 album *Snakes & Arrows*. It was performed on a twelve-string guitar in D Modal (D-A-D-A-A-D) tuning.
## Background
\"Hope\" is one of the three instrumentals on the Rush album *Snakes & Arrows*. According to Neil Peart, the title of the instrumental was inspired by the chorus of the ninth *Snakes & Arrows* track \"Faithless\", which contains the word \"Hope\". It is the band\'s second shortest studio-album-song, clocking in at 2 minutes 2 seconds. Unusual for Rush\'s compositions, the song was written by Alex Lifeson alone. It is played on a twelve-string guitar and was recorded in two takes. The second take was \"just for the heck of it\".
A live version of \"Hope\" was nominated for a *Grammy Award*, which appeared on the compilation disc *Songs for Tibet*. The song was recorded on May 25, 2008, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

# List of U.S. state crustaceans
nine U.S. states and the District of Columbia have designated state crustaceans:
- Louisiana has the freshwater crawfish *Procambarus clarkii*.
- Maryland has the blue crab, *Callinectes sapidus*.
- Oregon has the Dungeness crab, *Metacarcinus magister*.
- California also has the Dungeness crab, *Metacarcinus magister*.
- Alabama has the brown shrimp, *Peneaus aztecus*.
- Maine has the lobster, *Homarus americanus*.
- Texas has the Texas Gulf shrimp, *Penaeus aztecus*, *P. setiferus*, and *P. duorarum*.
- Utah has the brine shrimp.
- Georgia has the white shrimp.
- District of Columbia has the Hay\'s spring amphipod.
## Louisiana
*Main article: Procambarus clarkii {{!**Procambarus clarkii*}} In 1983, the state of Louisiana designated the Louisiana crawfish, *Procambarus clarkii*, as their state crustacean. The native range of *P. clarkii* is along the Gulf Coast from northern Mexico to the Florida panhandle, as well as inland, to southern Illinois and Ohio. It is most commonly found in warm fresh water, such as slowly flowing rivers, marshes, reservoirs, irrigation systems and rice paddies. *P. clarkii* grows quickly, and is capable of reaching weights over 50 g, and lengths of 5.5 -.
Harvests of *P. clarkii* account for a large majority of the crawfish produced in the United States. In 1990, Louisiana produced 90% of the crawfish in the world and consumed 70% of it locally, but by 2003, Asian farms and fisheries produced more, outpacing American production rapidly. By 2018, *P. clarkii* crawfish production in the Americas represented just 4% of total global *P. clarkii* supply. However, Louisiana crawfish remain in demand locally. In 2018, 93% of crawfish farms in the US were located in Louisiana. Louisiana crawfish are usually boiled in a large pot with heavy seasoning (salt, cayenne pepper, lemon, garlic, bay leaves, etc.) and other items such as potatoes, corn on the cob, onions, garlic, and sausage. There are many differing methods used to season a crawfish boil and an equal number of opinions on which one is correct.
## Maryland
*Main article: Callinectes sapidus {{!**Callinectes sapidus*}} The blue crab, *Callinectes sapidus* was chosen as the state crustacean of Maryland in 1989. *C. sapidus* is a crab found in the waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific coast of Central America and the Gulf of Mexico. The blue crab may grow to a carapace width of 230 mm. It can be distinguished from a related species that occurs in the same area by the number of frontal teeth on the carapace; *C. sapidus* has four, while *C. ornatus* has six.
The Chesapeake Bay, located in Maryland and Virginia, is famous for its blue crabs, and they are one of the most important economic items harvested from it. In 1993, the combined harvest of the blue crabs was valued at around US\$100 million. Over the years the population of the blue crab has dropped, and the amount captured has fallen from over 125000 t in 1993 to 81000 t in 2008. In the Chesapeake Bay, the population fell from 900 million to around 300 million, and capture fell from 52000 t in the mid 1990s to 28000 t in 2004, with revenue falling from \$72 million to \$61 million.
## Oregon
*Main article: Dungeness crab* The Dungeness crab, *Metacarcinus magister* (formerly *Cancer magister*), is a species of crab that inhabits eelgrass beds and water bottoms on the west coast of North America. Its common name comes from the port of Dungeness, Washington. In 2009, based on lobbying from schoolchildren at Sunset Primary School in West Linn, Oregon, and citing its importance to the Oregon economy, the Oregon State Legislature designated the Dungeness crab as the state crustacean of Oregon.
The carapace width of mature Dungeness crabs may reach 25 cm in some areas off the coast of Washington, but are typically under 20 cm. They are a popular delicacy, and are the most commercially important crab in the Pacific Northwest, as well as the western states generally. The annual Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival is held in Port Angeles, Washington each October

# The Arc at Old Colony
**The Arc at Old Colony** (**Old Colony Building** until 2015) is a 17-story landmark building in the Chicago Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. Designed by the architectural firm Holabird & Roche in 1893--94, it stands at approximately 215 feet (65.5 m) and was the tallest building in Chicago at the time it was built. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark on July 7, 1978. It was the first tall building to use a system of internal portal arches as a means of bracing the structure against high winds.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is directly across the street to the west of the Harold Washington Library. The address of the Old Colony Building is 407 S. Dearborn Street.
Built as an office building, the Old Colony was converted to an apartment building in 2015. The building was fully remodeled and modernized upon the opening of the apartments, providing residents with amenities, public areas, and contemporary designs. The units are marketed to college students attending school in the South Loop.
The exterior of the building was used to represent the offices of the Independent News Service in the television series Kolchak The Night Stalker

# Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse
***Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse*** is the second solo comic book series by creator Ben Templesmith. Unlike the bleak post-apocalyptic world of Templesmith\'s previous work, *Singularity 7*, *Wormwood* is a lighter series which combines humor and horror. It was first published as short episodic serials within *LOFI* magazine from 2004 until it ceased publication. IDW Publishing then collected those serials in a single #0 issue called *The Taster* in 2006 before releasing new stories in the form of several miniseries, the most recent being *Calamari Rising*. The hardcover edition of the initial series has gone on to be a *New York Times* bestseller.
## Plot
The stories of *Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse* revolve around the adventures of Wormwood, a trans-dimensional demigod worm, who frequently saves the world from supernatural threats. Wormwood can control a dead body by burrowing in his host\'s head; his preferred vessel is a well-dressed man, hence the subtitle. Although he repeatedly has made claims of godhood, he usually saves the world through cunning or otherwise underhanded means rather than force, such as paying off the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

**Liberty Weekend** was a four-day celebration held to mark the 1984--86 restoration and the centenary of the Statue of Liberty (*Liberty Enlightening the World*) in New York City. It began on July 3, 1986, and ended on July 6.
## July 3, 1986: opening ceremonies {#july_3_1986_opening_ceremonies}
The Opening Ceremonies of Liberty Weekend were held on July 3, 1986, at Governors Island in New York Harbor. French President François Mitterrand was on hand to give his well wishes to the American people. Secretary of the Interior Donald Hodel, Executive Producer David L. Wolper, and the Chairman of the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation Lee Iacocca joined to introduce the President of the United States at the time, Ronald Reagan. The Liberty Orchestra was conducted by John Williams premiering his composition, *Liberty Fanfare* featuring the Liberty Weekend herald trumpets. The Liberty Weekend Chorus was conducted by N. Brock McElheran, music professor from Crane School of Music, S.U.N.Y. Potsdam, Potsdam, N.Y. The chorus also featured alumni members of the Crane School of Music Chorus. Kenneth Mack Jr. sang the National Anthem. Gregory Peck, Elizabeth Taylor and Frank Sinatra also spoke.

He then unveiled the Statue for the first time since its restoration. This was followed by musical performances by Neil Diamond (who sang \"They\'re Coming to America\"), Frank Sinatra (who sang \"The House I Live In\"), Jose Feliciano and Diane Schuur singing a duet (\"The American Wedding Song\"), as well as dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, among others. Ted Koppel of *ABC News Nightline* presented the Medal of Liberty to outstanding naturalized Americans.
Emil Mosbacher, organizer of Operation Sail, and Secretary of the Navy John Lehman spoke of the following day\'s events. Reagan spoke again, this time symbolically lighting the torch of the Statue of Liberty, by pressing a button shooting a laser from the podium to torch.

## July 4, 1986: Operation Sail, Americana music concert, and fireworks {#july_4_1986_operation_sail_americana_music_concert_and_fireworks}
On the morning of July 4, 1986, the battleships and sailing ships of old took part in a naval revue down the Hudson River, including the largest flotilla of tall ships to assemble in modern history. Reagan viewed the ships from `{{USS|Iowa|BB-61|6}}`{=mediawiki}. He described the ships as a personification of freedom and liberty:
> Perhaps, indeed, these vessels embody our conception of liberty itself: to have before one no impediments, only open spaces; to chart one\'s own course and take the adventure of life as it comes; to be free as the wind -- as free as the tall ships themselves. It\'s fitting, then, that this procession should take place in honor of Lady Liberty.

Later, the Boston Pops Orchestra conducted by John Williams conducted a concert of classic American music at Liberty State Park in New Jersey (the closest landmass to Liberty Island itself). It also featured musical performances from (in order) John Denver, Melissa Manchester, Clamma Dale with Simon Estes, Joel Grey, Whitney Houston, Johnny Cash, James Whitmore, and Barry Manilow. Also in attendance were notables such as Steven Spielberg, Amy Irving, Robert Dole, NYC Mayor Ed Koch, NY State Governor Mario Cuomo, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kissinger, Itzhak Perlman, Cardinal O\'Connor, Don King, Pierre Salinger, June Carter Cash, Alan Shepard, Diahann Carroll, and Coretta Scott King.
This was followed by an address by Reagan aboard USS *John F. Kennedy*, and a 30-minute fireworks display and concert, scored and conducted by Joe Raposo, the highlight of the night. It was the largest fireworks display in American history, and at the time the largest in the world. The display included 22,000 aerial fireworks, launched from 30 barges and other vantage points, in addition to 18,000 set pieces. It was co-produced by four family-owned fireworks firms, namely the Zambelli, Grucci, Santore and Sousa families.
## July 5, 1986: grand reopening, concert {#july_5_1986_grand_reopening_concert}
On July 5, 1986, First Lady Nancy Reagan re-opened the statue to the public accompanied by 100 French and American young singers: Paris Boys Choir and Harlem Boys Choir.
At 4:30 pm, a \"Great Blimp Race\" took place over the Hudson River, with four airships racing against each other for charity on a 12-mile course from the George Washington Bridge down to Battery Park in Lower Manhattan. The race was filmed by a fifth airship, and two others circled the city. The race was won by the Fuji blimp in 15 minutes and 36 seconds. Resorts International came second, followed by McDonald\'s and Citibank. The winner received a two-foot-long airship trophy from James Hoge, *Daily News* publisher, and the \$25,000 Citibank Charity Challenge Cup fund went to the Boys\' Clubs of America.
That night, a joint concert by the New York Philharmonic and the US Marine Band was held in Central Park conducted by Zubin Mehta and Col. John Bourgeois, with special guests (in order) Plácido Domingo, Joseph Flummerfelt, Marilyn Horne, Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Sherrill Milnes and Leona Mitchell. At that time, a record-breaking 800,000 people were reported to have attended (largest audience in the world until 1994, and still the largest ever in the US and third largest ever recorded worldwide).
## July 6, 1986: closing ceremonies {#july_6_1986_closing_ceremonies}
The closing ceremonies took place at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. The closing ceremonies featured a tribute to sports and pop culture, with the following performers and speakers (in order): Fabian Forte, Frankie Avalon, Buddy DeFranco, Charlton Heston, Waylon Jennings, Gene Kelly, Patti LaBelle, Gerry Mulligan, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, The Pointer Sisters, Manhattan Transfer, The Golden Boys of Bandstand, Shirley MacLaine, and Liza Minnelli.

## Broadcast
The entire event was broadcast on ABC, with Peter Jennings and Barbara Walters as commentators. ABC News had paid \$10 million for broadcasting rights. CBS also broadcast parts of the event, including Operation Sail 1986. Christian recording artist Sandi Patty recorded a new version of \"The Star-Spangled Banner\", which was played as part of the broadcast.
## Production
In his book *Even This I Get To Experience*, television personality Norman Lear stated that he was the one who produced the four-day special, which he described as \"my parade\" of \"tall ships\". Lear also stated that he used the Israeli ship, *The Galaxy*, which set sail during the event, to host a private party celebrating his upcoming marriage to his fiancée Lyn and that he in part made the special so that it would coincide with this party as well

# Constitution of Nicaragua
The **Constitution of Nicaragua** was reformed due to a negotiation of the executive and legislative branches in 1995. The reform of the 1987 Sandinista Constitution gave extensive new powers and independence to the National Assembly, including permitting the Assembly to override a presidential veto with a simple majority vote and eliminating the president\'s ability to pocket veto a bill. Both the president and the members of the unicameral National Assembly are elected to concurrent five-year terms.
## History
The Nicaraguan Constitution promulgated on January 1, 1987 provided the final step in the institutionalization of the Sandinista regime and the framework under which the Chamorro government would take office. It was the ninth constitution in Nicaraguan history. The Sandinistas\' revolutionary mythology and aspirations were glorified in the preamble, and the Nicaraguan Army was constitutionally named the Sandinista People\'s Army. Yet, even though drafted and approved by a Sandinista-dominated assembly, the constitution was not a revolutionary document.
It established a democratic system of government with a mixed economy based on a separation of powers that could guarantee civil liberties. There was some discontent with parts of the new system. Early objections were raised that the executive branch was too strong, that property rights were not adequately protected, and that some of the language was vague and subject to widely differing interpretations. These objections continued to be an issue under the Chamorro government.
In 2025, during the presidency of Daniel Ortega, the National Assembly approved multiple amendments to the constitution that included extending the presidential term to six years from five, proclaiming Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, co-presidents, declaring the flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front as one of the country\'s national symbols, defining Nicaragua as a \"revolutionary\" and socialist state, and establishing a \"volunteer police force\".
### The Executive {#the_executive}
The constitution provides for a strong executive branch, although the legislative and judicial branches retain significant powers of their own. Under the constitution, the president has broader powers than does the president of the United States. The president is commander in chief of the military, has the power to appoint all ministers and vice ministers of his or her cabinet, and proposes a national budget.
The executive shares legislative powers that allow him or her to enact executive decrees with the force of law in fiscal and administrative matters, as well as to promulgate regulations to implement the laws. The president assumes legislative powers when the National Assembly is in recess. The president has extraordinary powers during national emergencies, including the powers to suspend basic civil liberties and to prepare and approve the national budget.
The president\'s term was set at six years by a decree promulgated in January 1984, during the period when the country had no constitution. The 1987 Constitution reaffirmed a six-year term for the president.
### The Legislature {#the_legislature}
The 1987 constitution replaced the bicameral Congress, which had existed under previous constitutions, with a unicameral National Assembly. The makeup of the National Assembly, first established under the 1984 decree and confirmed by the 1987 constitution, consists of ninety members directly elected by a system of proportional representation plus any unelected presidential or vice presidential candidates who receive a certain percentage of the vote. In 1985 the National Assembly had ninety-six members and in 1990, ninety-two. Terms are for six years, to run concurrently with the president\'s term.
The National Assembly has significant powers, and its cooperation is essential for the smooth functioning of the government. Under the constitution, representatives to the National Assembly propose legislation, which is made law by a simple majority of the representatives present if the National Assembly has a quorum. The National Assembly can override a presidential veto by quorum. The constitution also gives the National Assembly the power \"to consider, discuss and approve\" the budget presented by the president. The National Assembly chooses the seven members of the Supreme Court from lists provided by the president and has the authority to \"officially interpret the laws\", a prerogative that gives the National Assembly judicial powers.
### The Judiciary {#the_judiciary}
Under the 1987 constitution, the Supreme Court is an independent branch of government, whose members are selected for six-year terms by the National Assembly from lists submitted by the president. From among those members, the president selects the head of the Supreme Court. The constitution also provides that the Supreme Court justices appoint judges to the lower courts. Supreme Court justices can only be removed constitutionally \"for reasons determined by law\".
In National Assembly-approved 1990 reforms to the Organic Law of Tribunals, the Chamorro government enlarged the Supreme Court\'s membership from the constitutionally mandated seven justices to nine, as a way of breaking what was perceived as Sandinista domination of the court. Those seven members had been appointed to their six-year terms in December 1987, and their terms were to expire in 1993.
In 1990 President Chamorro also dismissed the court\'s Sandinista-appointed head and replaced him with one of her own choosing. The evaluation of this act depended on one\'s political point of view. According to Nicaraguan analysts, the nine-member court decided that it would take decisions only on the basis of consensus, a procedure some saw as guaranteeing Sandinista influence on the court, others saw as neutralizing Sandinista influence, and still others saw as effectively paralyzing the operations of the court

# Antonio Cottone
**Antonio Cottone** (`{{IPA|it|anˈtɔːnjo kotˈtoːne}}`{=mediawiki}; 1904/1905 -- 22 August 1956) was a member of the Sicilian Mafia in his hometown Villabate in the province of Palermo, Sicily. He was known as *\'U Patre Nostru* (Our Heavenly Father) due to his alleged generosity. The Cottone clan was a historical Mafia family. They were mentioned in 1937 as the Mafia bosses of Villabate by Melchiorre Allegra, a mafioso physician who became an informant when he was arrested.
## Influential Mafia boss {#influential_mafia_boss}
Antonio *Nino* Cottone had worked for the Profaci brothers in New York City and was deported back to Sicily. He became the boss of Villabate where the Profaci family originated. Cottone was not only influential in his own town but in Palermo as well. After the Allied invasion of Sicily during World War II (Operation Husky), Cottone was made mayor of Villabate by the Allied Military Government of Occupied Territories (AMGOT) who looked for anti-fascist notables to replace fascist authorities. Local townspeople remember that when Cottone made his walk along Villabate's main street every morning and every afternoon he was "revered and honoured by many citizens that almost prostrated themselves at his feet."
A onetime butcher who prospered mightily during the U.S. occupation of Sicily, Nino Cottone was respected for his wealth and for his excellent connections in the Christian Democrat party (DC---Democrazia Cristiana). The foundation of Nino\'s respectability was the fact that he was a boss of the \"Mafia of the Gardens\"---the section of Cosa Nostra that \"protects\" Palermo\'s fruit market men and citrus growers. Cottone also ran the meat supply to Palermo\'s wholesale market and got his meat from cattle thief Luciano Leggio from Corleone, who he introduced on the Palermo market. Cottone also mediated the peace in the violent vendetta within the Greco Mafia clan between the factions of Ciaculli and Croceverde Giardini. The daughter of Nino Cottone, Maria Cottone, married Salvatore \"The Senator\" Greco.
## Palermo wholesale market war {#palermo_wholesale_market_war}
In January 1955, the Palermo fruit and vegetable wholesale market moved from the Zisa area to Acquasanta, disturbing the delicate power balances within Cosa Nostra. The Acquasanta Mafia clan tried to muscle in on the protection racket that traditionally belonged to the \"Mafia of the Gardens\"---such as the Greco's and Cottone---because it now fell under their territory. Some villages just outside Palermo, like Bagheria and Villabate, flared up with the same kind of violence for the control of irrigation, transport, and wholesale markets. A violent dispute erupted leaving bodies on both sides. Acquasanta bosses Gaetano Galatolo and Nicola D'Alessandro were killed, as well as Francesco Greco from the Ciaculli clan, a major wholesaler of fruit and vegetables, were killed in a dispute over the protection rackets.
On 22 August 1956, *Nino* Cottone was killed as well. Returning home late, he gently backed his little Fiat station wagon into the drive of his summer villa. He had just locked the car when he was bowled along the driveway by two streams of machine-gun bullets. He was hit by six bullets and managed to reach his house where he collapsed. The next day Angelo Galatolo, brother of Gaetano, was killed as well. The reason for his killing remained unclear, but was probably linked to the struggle over control of the Palermo wholesale market. At his funeral people participated in mass, a veritable human flood. In the presence of many people from Palermo and from neighbouring towns, the funeral of the victim took place in grand style.
## Heroin trafficking {#heroin_trafficking}
Cottone might have been involved in trafficking heroin to the U.S.; Joe Profaci had returned to Villabate in 1947 to visit his former lieutenant. In 1956, Profaci, in Brooklyn (New York City), was recorded talking about the export of Sicilian oranges with Nino Cottone, in Sicily. Cottone might have lost his life that year in the battle for the Palermo wholesale market, but Profaci\'s oranges kept on coming. The Brooklyn number rung by Cottone was the same number rung by Lucky Luciano from Naples and Frank Coppola from Anzio. All conversations talking ecstatically about high-grade Sicilian oranges were recorded by the Palermo police. In 1959, US Customs intercepted one of those orange crates. Hollow wax oranges, 90 to a crate, were filled with heroin until they weighed as much as real oranges. Each crate carried 110 pounds of pure heroin

# Robert Mason (writer)
**Robert C. Mason** (born March 20, 1942) is a Vietnam War veteran and author of several books, including his first, best-selling memoir: *Chickenhawk* (1983). Mason piloted Huey \"Slicks\" in the United States Army as a Warrant Officer 1. He sailed to Vietnam with the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) and served a one-year tour, nine months with the \"First Cav\", the last three months with the 48th Aviation Company.
Mason spent his first month in Vietnam clearing land for his unit\'s airbase, after which he and his fellow pilots flew many missions to resupply the infantry and pick up wounded. At that time 1st Cavalry Medevac helicopters were not allowed to fly if the landing zone was hot. While serving with the 1st Cavalry, Mason was involved in several battles and other missions, including the Battle of Ia Drang and the Battle of Bong Son.
Mason transferred to the 48th Aviation Company (referred to as the 49th in his memoir) in May 1966. He continued to fly helicopters, including assault missions for the 101st Airborne in Dak To as part of Operation Hawthorne in June 1966.
After his one-year tour of duty, Mason became an instructor pilot at Fort Wolters, Texas. Eventually he was grounded for dizzy spells and diagnosed with combat fatigue resulting from his service in Vietnam. Later, he and his wife realized he was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder.
In 1979, Mason began to write a book about his tour in Vietnam. He named it *Chickenhawk* after a conversation he and his friend and fellow helicopter pilot Jerry Towler had had in 1965 while waiting to pick up some GIs in Vietnam, describing their alternating feelings of terror and courage as they flew missions.
In 1981, Mason was arrested for smuggling marijuana on a boat from Colombia. A month later his agent sold *Chickenhawk* to Viking Penguin based on the one third of the book Mason had delivered. Mason did not tell anyone of his arrest, including his agent and his editor, until they finished the rest of the book and read the last page.
*Chickenhawk* was published in 1983, and Christopher Lehmann-Haupt gave it a positive review in *The New York Times*. Mason was invited to appear on *The Today Show* on a Wednesday and had to show up at Eglin Federal Prison Camp on the following Friday. *Chickenhawk* became a hardcover and paperback best-seller. It received many positive reviews, inspiring *People* magazine to do a story on his troubles under the heading \"Trouble.\"
Mason was released from prison on May 17, 1985. He has subsequently published two novels, *Weapon* and *Solo*, as well as a second memoir, *Chickenhawk: Back in the World*. In 1996, Columbia/Tristar released a film (*Solo*) based on Mason\'s first novel, but which used the title of the second

# Jeremy C. Smith
**Jeremy Christopher Smith** is a British-born computational molecular biophysicist.
## Early life and education {#early_life_and_education}
Smith was educated at Earlham High School, the City of Norwich School (at which his doctoral advisor, Stephen A. Cusack, was also a pupil) and Leeds University then obtained his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of London. Smith has a daughter, Serena, who was born in 1994.
## Career
After his doctoral work, Smith worked as a post-doctoral associate and lecturer at Harvard University in the group of Martin Karplus.
Smith has since built up research groups in three different countries. His first group was in Biomolecular Simulation at the Commissariat à l\'énergie atomique (CEA) at Saclay, France (1989--1998). He then became the first chaired professor in computational biology in Germany, when appointed at the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing of the University of Heidelberg, Germany in 1998.
In October 2006 Smith became the first Governor\'s Chair at the University of Tennessee and also Director of the UT/ORNL Center for Molecular Biophysics at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His move to Tennessee arose from the presence at ORNL of world-class supercomputing capabilities, and the Spallation Neutron Source, as the combination of neutron scattering with computer simulation has been a sustained interest of his.
In 2008, Smith was appointed *Honorarprofessor* (i.e., honorary professor) at the University of Heidelberg.
Smith has performed and directed research in a wide variety of fields, ranging from physics and chemistry through to practical areas such as renewable energy, environmental science and medicine. He has made advances in the high-performance computer simulation of biological macromolecules, neutron scattering in biology, the physics of proteins, enzyme catalysis, bioenergy, biomaterials, environmental biogeochemistry, and early-stage drug discovery, and in the latter his group has discovered experimentally-validated lead compounds for many different protein targets and for a variety of diseases such as diabetes, prostate cancer, Covid-19, bacterial infections and osteoporosis. His group has also contributed to the design of vaccines against Group A Streptococcus and cancer. As of 2024 Smith had published well over 500 peer-reviewed scientific articles. Several established biophysicists have worked in his group, including Benoît Roux, Frank Noé, Jerome Baudry, Frauke Graeter and Ana-Nicoleta Bondar, amongst others. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry

# Dark-faced ground tyrant
The **dark-faced ground tyrant** (***Muscisaxicola maclovianus***) is a small passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, the Falkland Islands, possibly in Ecuador, and as a vagrant to Brazil.
## Taxonomy and systematics {#taxonomy_and_systematics}
The dark-faced ground tyrant was originally described as *Sylvia macloviana*, placing it with the Old World warblers. It was eventually moved to genus *Muscisaxicola* which had been erected in 1837. Because that genus is masculine the specific epithet was changed to follow the rules of binomial nomenclature.
The dark-faced ground tyrant has two subspecies, the nominate *M. m. macloviana* (Garnot, 1826) and *M. m. mentalis* (d\'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837).
## Description
The dark-faced ground tyrant is 15 to long. The two subspecies and both sexes have the same plumage, though subspecies *M. m. mentalis* is significantly smaller than the nominate. Adults have a blackish forehead, lores, and cheeks and a dull chestnut-brown crown. Their upperparts are mostly dark brown to smoky brown with a black lower rump. Their wings are a duskier brown than the upperparts. Their tail is black with whitish edges on the outer webs of the outermost feathers. Their throat and breast are gray and their belly and crissum white. They have a dark iris, a short black bill, and black legs and feet. Juveniles have a streaky throat and buffy edges on the wing coverts.
## Distribution and habitat {#distribution_and_habitat}
The nominate subspecies of the dark-faced ground tyrant is found only on the Falkland Islands. Subspecies *M. m. mentalis* is found from southern Ancash Department in west-central Peru south through the length of Chile. Its range extends across Argentina roughly from San Juan Province (or perhaps further north) east to Entre Ríos Province and across southern Uruguay, and from that line south to Cape Horn. The species has reached southern Brazil and also South Georgia Island as a vagrant. In addition, unconfirmed sight records in Ecuador lead the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society to call it hypothetical there.
During the breeding season the dark-faced ground tyrant inhabits open grasslands that have forest nearby or are near rivers and also marshy areas in valleys. In the non-breeding season it inhabits grasslands and pastures but also irrigated fields, sandy desert, and beaches; at the last it sometimes is seen on dried or floating seaweed. One source places its usual upper elevation limit at 1200 m with rare excursions to 2500 m. Another says its upper limit is 1500 m. A third says it reaches 4000 m in Peru but only rarely.

# Dark-faced ground tyrant
## Behavior
### Movement
The nominate subspecies of the dark-faced ground tyrant is a year-round resident on the Falkland Islands. Subspecies *M. m. mentalis* is highly migratory. Its breeding range extends from Chile and western Argentina from about the latitude of Araucanía Region south to Cape Horn. After breeding it spends the austral winter near the Pacific coast from that latitude north into Peru and also from southern mainland Argentina north to central Argentina and southern Uruguay.
### Feeding
The dark-faced ground tyrant feeds on insects. It is almost wholly terrestrial; it will perch on trees or utility poles and sometimes hovers. It runs and hops along the ground, stopping to stand erect before grabbing prey, or drops on it from a perch or a hover. In the breeding season it mostly forages by itself but is often in flocks of up to 100 outside that season.
### Breeding
The nominate subspecies of the dark-faced ground tyrant on the Falklands breeds between October and December. Subspecies *M. m. mentalis* breeds between September and March. Males make a display flight that drops from a peak to the ground where it faces a female and raises and lowers its wings. The species\' nest is an open cup of grass, sometimes with rootlets included, and lined with feathers and mammalian hair. It is typically placed in a crevice or hollow between rocks. The clutch is two or three eggs. The incubation period is not known, fledging occurs about 18 days after hatch, and details of parental care are not known.
### Vocalization
As of April 2025 xeno-canto had six recordings of dark-faced ground tyrant vocalizations; the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\'s Macaulay Library had 18 with some overlap between the two. The species\' song is \"reported as a warbling series of notes\". During the flight display males call \"a discreet *zilip*\". Its alarm calls include \"a series of loud *cheep* and rapid *tu* or *chee-tú*\" notes.
## Status
The IUCN has assessed the dark-faced ground tyrant as being of Least Concern. It has a very large range; its population size is not known and is believed to be decreasing. No immediate threats have been identified. It is considered common overall and uncommon to fairly common in Peru during winter. \"High-elevation populations \[are\] presumably at lower risk than are grassland populations, as grasslands are disappearing through overgrazing and agriculture

# W. G. Richardson
**William**\"**Ginger**\"**Richardson** (29 May 1909 -- 29 March 1959) often referred to as **W.G. Richardson** and by the nickname \'Ginger\' to avoid confusion with teammate Bill Richardson, was an English professional footballer who played as a centre forward.
He scored both goals for West Bromwich Albion when they won the 1931 FA Cup Final, beating their Midlands rivals Birmingham City 2--1.
He scored four goals within the space of five minutes, all within the first ten minutes of the match, for West Brom against West Ham United at Upton Park on 7 November 1931.
In the 1935--36 season, he scored 39 League goals, which is still West Bromwich Albion\'s club record for top scorer in the top division of the football league system. His total of 228 goals for the club in all competitions puts him third on the all-time scorers list behind Tony Brown and Ronnie Allen, and first in the goals-per-game list overall.
Richardson was the nephew of the English cricketer Tom Richardson. In 2004, he was named as one of West Bromwich Albion\'s 16 greatest players, in a poll organised as part of the club\'s 125th anniversary celebrations.
Richardson died on the field of play, during a charity match between a City of Birmingham \'All Stars XI\' and a Television celebrity team, having stepped in at the last moment when the playing staff of Birmingham City were placed under quarantine due to a polio outbreak, which would claim the life of another former cup finalist, Jeff Hall a fortnight later

# Malignant Narcissism (song)
**Malignant Narcissism** is an instrumental track from Rush\'s 2007 album *Snakes & Arrows*. \"Malignant Narcissism\" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy under the category of Best Rock Instrumental Performance,`{{Ref|GrammyNom}}`{=mediawiki} Rush\'s fifth nomination in said category. However, the song lost to Bruce Springsteen\'s \"Once Upon a Time in the West\" making it their fifth defeat in that category.
## Song title inspiration {#song_title_inspiration}
The band found inspiration for the title of the song in the dialogue from the Trey Parker and Matt Stone film *Team America: World Police*. In that film, the psychological term *malignant narcissism* is used in reference to Islamic terrorists. The only voice heard is from an audio sample taken from the film, appearing at 1:08 in the song featuring a female voice saying, \"Usually a case of malignant narcissism brought on during childhood\".`{{Ref|Team}}`{=mediawiki}
## Composition and production {#composition_and_production}
Bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee describes the development of the song in an interview with Toronto rock station Q107 (CILQ-FM). \"Malignant Narcissism\" was the last song recorded during the production of *Snakes & Arrows*, and was completed in a few days. While guitarist Alex Lifeson was away from the studio, Lee contacted Fender Musical Instruments Corporation and requested a Jaco Pastorius signature fretless bass delivered to the studio, on evaluation from Fender. According to Lee, he was interested in the bass for several reasons, including his lack of familiarity with fretless basses.
While Lee was experimenting with the bass in the studio, co-producer Nick Raskulinecz overheard Lee playing a catchy riff and suggested this be incorporated into a new song (this exchange was captured on film, and is part of the documentary section of the MVI edition of *Snakes & Arrows*). Rush drummer Neil Peart was present, but his expansive drum kit had already been shipped off from the studio. With Raskulinecz\'s encouragement, Peart decided to challenge himself with an unfamiliar instrument setup, like Lee had done with fretless bass. Peart assembled a small kit composed of four drums, the smallest kit he had ever used when recording for a Rush album. Peart recorded drum parts for \"Malignant Narcissism\" with this minimal kit. Like Lee\'s bassline, the opening drumming of counting off on the snare rim, was also a bit of a fluke. As Neil Peart describes in a 2007 Modern Drummer article, \"Booujze heard me counting off the tempo on my snare rim, and wanted me to start the song like that\".`{{Ref|Modern Drummer}}`{=mediawiki}
When Lifeson returned to the studio, he had one day to compose a guitar part to play over Lee\'s fretless riffing, which he did. The piece was added to the nearly finished album, thus making *Snakes & Arrows* the first Rush album to contain more than one instrumental, this album ending up with three

# Santa Maria dei Candeli
**Santa Maria dei Candeli** is a former Roman Catholic church situated in the Borgo Pinti in central Florence, Region of Tuscany, Italy.
## History
Initially founded in 13--14th centuries as a convent; the present structure was enlarged starting 1558, with a radical rebuilding in 1703 by the Baroque artist Giovanni Battista Foggini. The ceiling is frescoed with the *Assumption* by Niccolò Lapi, the right wall houses a *St Clair* by Francesco Botti and a *St Augustine* by Jacopo Vignali. The main altarpiece is an *Immaculate Conception* by Carlo Sacconi, flanked by a *Transit of St Joseph* by Tommaso Redi.
The monastic order was suppressed by the Napoleonic occupation, and the adjacent monastery became successively an orphanage, an asylum, and finally a lyceum for training policemen. The Renaissance frescoes detached from the refectory depict a *Last Supper*, *Annunciation*, and *Adoration of the Bambino*, formerly attributed to Franciabigio, but which some now attribute to Giovanni Antonio Sogliani

# Tickle fetishism
**Tickle fetishism**, also known as **knismolagnia**, **knismophilia**, or **titillagnia**, is a paraphilia where an individual receives sexual pleasure from tickling, being tickled, or watching someone be tickled. Individuals may prefer to be the dominant party, known as a ler (from tick*ler*), or the submissive party, known as a lee (from tick*lee*), or they may enjoy both, known as a switch. Some people may prefer to be tickled in specific areas, typically in an erogenous zone or other particularly sensitive areas of the body.
## In BDSM {#in_bdsm}
Restraint, bondage, and sexual humiliation may be aspects of an erotic tickling session, though they are not necessary. A BDSM tickling session can involve submissive partners being tied or restrained in a position that exposes bare parts of the body, particularly those that are sensitive to tickling, such as the feet or armpits. The body being exposed can also be intended as a form of humiliation or exhibitionism for the lee, or as visual stimulus for the ler. Tools may be used to tickle if desired

# Sidney Swann
**Sidney Ernest Swann** (24 June 1890 -- 19 September 1976) was a Manx-English clergyman and a rower who competed for Great Britain in the 1912 Summer Olympics and in the 1920 Summer Olympics.
## Biography
Swann was born at Sulby, Lezayre, Isle of Man, the son of Sydney Swann, a rower and clergyman who took his family to Japan, where he was a missionary. He was educated at Rugby School, where he had no rowing experience, and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. At Cambridge, he won the Colquhoun Sculls in 1910 (as a freshman, having sculled only twenty-nine times before the event) and was in the winning crew in the Visitors\' Challenge Cup and Wyfolds Henley Royal Regatta, also in 1910. Swann won the Lowe Double Sculls at Cambridge in 1911 and was a member of the Cambridge crew in the Boat Race in 1911 and 1912. 12 September 1911, Swann set the record for rowing across the English Channel in a single row of 3 hours and 50 minutes. Swann was a member of Leander Club and was the sole Cambridge man in the Leander eight, which won the gold medal for Great Britain rowing at the 1912 Summer Olympics. He was the first Manx person to have won an Olympic Gold, and it would not be until 2012 until another Manx person won a Gold. Swann won the University Pairs in 1913 and the Grand Challenge Cup at Heley in 1913. He won Silver Goblets at Henley in 1913 and 1914 partnering his brother Alfred. In 1914 he was C.U.B.C. President in the winning crew in the 1914 Boat Race.
Swann became a clergyman and was a chaplain to the forces during the First World War. He returned to Trinity Hall as Chaplain, where he helped with Cambridge rowing in the early 1920s. He rowed in the Leander boat, which won the Silver Medal for Great Britain rowing at the 1920 Summer Olympics.
Swann moved to Nairobi as Archdeacon from 1926 to 1927, to Egypt in the same position in 1928, and returned to England in 1933, where he became vicar of Leighton Buzzard. In 1937 he became vicar of St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol and in 1941 was appointed Chaplain to King George VI. In 1943, he became the first principal of the RAF Chaplains\' School based at Magdalene College, Cambridge: it taught a Moral Leadership Course (i.e. Christian ethics) for officers and airmen of the RAF, and a Chaplains\' Course as a refresher for veteran chaplains. He was chosen, in part, because of the sporting background was prized among military chaplains. In 1944, he was succeeded as principal by John Bateman-Champain, a former first-class cricketer. He retired as Canon Emeritus of Bristol Cathedral.
On his father's death in 1942, Swann became president of the National Amateur Rowing Association (NARA) and held the post until 1956, when the Amateur Rowing Association (ARA) removed manual labour as a disqualification for amateur status, and the two organisations merged.
Swann died at Minehead, Somerset at the age of 86

# The Great Compromise (song)
**The Great Compromise** is a song written and performed by John Prine. The song was included on Prine\'s album *Diamonds in the Rough* which was released by Atlantic Records in 1972. It is an anti-war song and a protest song. Its theme is the disillusionment of the country during the Vietnam War era. In the liner notes to his 1993 anthology *Great Days*, Prine writes of this song, \"The idea I had in mind was that America was this girl you used to take to drive-in movies. And then when you went to get some popcorn, she turned around and screwed some guy in foreign sports car. I really love America. I just don\'t know how to get there anymore.\"
In 2011, Oh Boy Records released 1970 recordings of Prine singing "The Great Compromise" on *Singing Mailman Delivers*. Before singing the song he says, "This is a song that Francis Scott Key and me wrote not too long ago. He writes political songs (you know), I write love songs. So we got together and wrote a song\....It's a hate song to a woman I love. It's about a kid who went out to find America, and he found her in a bar room, drinking-she was feeling bad. So he felt sorry for her and asked her out to the drive-in."
The song was described as \"Dylan-esque\" in an obituary for Prine

# Sisak People's Liberation Partisan Detachment
The **Sisak People\'s Liberation Partisan Detachment** (*Sisački narodnooslobodilački partizanski odred*), also known as the **1st Sisak Partisan Detachment** (*1. Sisački partizanski odred*), was the first Partisan armed anti-fascist resistance unit formed in occupied Yugoslavia following the invasion of Yugoslavia by the Axis powers in April 1941.
It was formed by the outlawed Croatian Communist Party in the Independent State of Croatia established on 10 April 1941, in the Brezovica Forest near Sisak (in today\'s Croatia) on 22 June 1941, the day Germany invaded the Soviet Union. It had 79 members, mainly Croats with the exception of one notable Serb woman, Nada Dimić, and was commanded by Vladimir Janjić-Capo.
This event marked the start of armed anti-fascist resistance in occupied Yugoslavia. In modern Croatia, 22 June is commemorated as a public holiday --- the Anti-Fascist Struggle Day.
The detachment began resistance activities the day after its creation; launching sabotage and diversionary attacks on nearby railway lines, destroying telegraph poles, attacking municipal buildings in surrounding villages, seizing arms and ammunition and creating a Communist propaganda network in Sisak and nearby villages.
The uprising of the Sisak People\'s Liberation Partisan Detachment was largely ignored in official Yugoslav historiography that instead claimed that the first uprising in Yugoslavia was the one launched two weeks later in Serbia, led by Tito. In the post-war Socialist Republic of Croatia, the date of the Srb uprising (27 July) was declared a public holiday, known as the \"Day of the Uprising of the People of Croatia\", also sidelining the uprising of the Sisak People\'s Liberation Partisan Detachment.
Janko Bobetko, who 50 years later became one of the most prominent Croatian generals in Croatian War of Independence, joined the unit in July 1941

# Ewart Horsfall
**Ewart Douglas Horsfall** MC (24 May 1892 -- 1 February 1974) was a British rower who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics and in the 1920 Summer Olympics.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
Horsfall\'s first marriage was with Myra Downing Fullerton, daughter of Frederick Downing Fullerton, in 1923. They had three children, Robin, Geoffrey and Anne. After his divorce, he married Betty Fairfax Rushby (1906--2000) in 1946. After her death, she bequeathed money and collections of art, ceramics, furniture and other objects that she mainly had inherited from her parents to the University of Liverpool in his home city of Liverpool.
## Business career {#business_career}
He was a member of Liverpool\'s wealthy Horsfall family. In his time the family traded in palm oil from Africa.
## Sporting career {#sporting_career}
Horsfall was born in Liverpool, the son of Howard Douglas Horsfall and was educated at Eton College and Magdalen College, Oxford. He arrived at Oxford with an outstanding reputation as a rower and, in 1912, was in the winning Oxford boat in the Boat Race.
He joined Leander Club and was a member of the Leander eight, which won the gold medal for Great Britain rowing at the 1912 Summer Olympics. At the age of 20, he was the crew\'s youngest member.
Horsfall stroked Oxford in the Boat Race in 1913 and became the first stroke to win the Boat Race after being behind at Barnes Railway Bridge. However, Oxford lost in 1914 when Horsfall rowed at number four. He won the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta four times -- three times as a stroke -- and he twice stroked the winning crew in the Stewards\' Challenge Cup at Henley on the two occasions when he competed.
After the war, he returned to Oxford to help re-establish rowing at the university. He was the strokeman of the Leander eight, which won the silver medal for Great Britain rowing at the 1920 Summer Olympics, coming within half a length of winning. In 1947, Horsfall was elected a Steward of Henley Royal Regatta, and the following year, he was manager of the British Olympic Rowing team.
## Military career {#military_career}
At the outbreak of the First World War, Horsfall joined the Rifle Brigade but later transferred to the Royal Flying Corps; He qualified as a pilot on 31 December 1914, and reached the rank of squadron leader. He was in command of 58 Squadron later in the war and briefly in 3 Squadron in late 1917. He was Mentioned in Dispatches and awarded the Military Cross and Chevalier in the Légion d\'honneur in 1916 when he was a temporary second lieutenant and temporary captain. He reached the rank of Major later in 1916 but became unfit for active service at times in 1917 and 1918. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in 1918

# Radulf of Lincoln
**Radulf** or **Ralph** was a canon of the Bishopric of Lincoln and also identified as Master Radulf de Leicester . Following the death of Simon de Gunby, Bishop of Moray, he was elected c. 1252 as the new bishop.
Radulf was one of at least three 12th and 13th century bishops of Moray to come from Lincolnshire. He may have been the Radulf, also from Lincoln, who appeared as a witness to a charter of Bishop Simon. There is no record of a consecration, though that cannot be regarded as firm evidence that no consecration took place. Radulf may have died before his consecration or may have become a casualty of the disruption that was taking place during the minority of Alexander III and which impacted on appointments to vacant bishoprics. In 1253 there was a new bishop by the name of Archibald

# Poarch Creek Indian Reservation
The **Poarch Creek Indian Reservation** is a Creek Indian reservation in the state of Alabama. It is the home of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, the only federally recognized Native American tribe in the state.
The reservation is located entirely within Escambia County, 8 mi northwest of Atmore. Of the Poarch Band\'s 2,340 members, about 1,000 lived on or near the 230 acre reservation as of 2006. The Poarch Band also holds other trust lands in Alabama and Florida.
## History
Despite the forced removal of Creek Indians from Georgia and Alabama in 1836, some Creeks in the Tensaw district of Alabama maintained a distinct community around the small town of Poarch, with segregated schools established by 1908. The federal government held a tract of land at Poarch in trust for the Indians until 1924. In the 1940s the community began to organize politically in its own interest, and from 1950 to 1970 tribal leader Calvin McGhee spearheaded a campaign for recognition of Creek land claims in the southeastern states. The Poarch Band raised funds largely through an annual Thanksgiving Day Pow Wow.
Established as a federal reservation in 1984, the Poarch Creek Indian Reservation is governed by a nine-member tribal council and provides police, fire, judicial, and social services. A \"bingo hall\" has been wholly owned by the tribal government since 1990, along with some small industrial plants and a restaurant and motel

# James Angus Gillan
Sir **James Angus Gillan** (11 October 1885 -- 23 April 1981) was a Scottish rower and colonial service official. He competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics and in the 1912 Summer Olympics.
## Biography
Gillan was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, and was educated at Edinburgh Academy and Magdalen College, Oxford. He rowed for Oxford in the Boat Race in 1907, but missed the 1908 race because of a severe attack of influenza. He also rowed for his college and the Magdalen College coxless four won the Stewards\' Challenge Cup and the Visitors\' Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta in 1907 and 1908. The Magdalen crew was chosen to represent Great Britain rowing at the 1908 Summer Olympics, and Gillan was in the four with Collier Cudmore, John Somers-Smith and Duncan Mackinnon. The crew won the gold medal for Great Britain and defeated a Leander crew. Gillan rowed for Oxford again in the Boat Race in 1909.
In 1909 Gillan joined the Sudan Political Service, but returned on leave in 1911 and as a member of Leander Club and was in the crew that won the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley in 1911. He was home on leave again in 1912 and was member of the British eight which won the gold medal rowing at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. He was in the UK again in 1917 when he married Margaret Douglas Ord Mackenzie at Holy Trinity Church, Brompton.
Gillan served in the Sudan for thirty years and became Civil Secretary in 1934. He was appointed a CMG in 1935 and a KBE in 1939. After World War II, Gillan headed the Empire Division of the British Council and played a major part in the organization of the 1948 Summer Olympics in London. In 1949 he left the Colonial Service and became the British Council representative in Australia until 1951. Back in England, he was chairman of the Royal Overseas League from 1955 to 1962.
Gillan died at Leigh, Surrey, at the age of 95

# Special Olympics Canada
**Special Olympics Canada** is a national organization founded in 1969 to help people with intellectual disabilities develop self-confidence and social skills through sports training and competition.
## About
The group is a national non-profit grassroots organization with more than 13,000 trained volunteer coaches. It provides its services through local sport clubs to more than 38,000 athletes. Its programs are supported by corporate sponsorship, fundraising activities, government funding as well as individual donors. This includes more than 12,000 members of the policing community who have supported Special Olympics, largely through the Law Enforcement Torch Run.
Special Olympics Canada is part of a global movement --- Special Olympics --- that is structured into regional, provincial and national programs and competitions. National competitions are held every two years, alternating between summer and winter games with Special Olympics World Games held in the year following national games. Canadian athletes have the opportunity to participate along with more than 150 other countries in Special Olympics World Summer or Winter Games through selection in the national team program.
## Official Athletes Oath {#official_athletes_oath}
"Let me win, but if I do not win, let me be brave in the attempt." Founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver introduced this oath in 1968.
## History
In 1969, the first Special Olympics Canada event was held in Toronto. From that modest beginning, the Special Olympics movement quickly spread across the country and grew into the national sports organization it is today.

## Matthew Williams {#matthew_williams}
Matthew Williams has been involved in Special Olympics Canada for many years. He serves as Canada's International Ambassador. Williams travels around and shares his story with audiences amongst other International Ambassadors in order to educate the public about Special Olympics, but also to demonstrate the impact that the organization has on its athletes' lives.
In July 2014, Williams represented Special Olympics Canada at an event held at the White House by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama to celebrate the work that Special Olympics as a global organization has done over the course of its existence.
## Dr. Frank Hayden\'s Work with Special Olympics Canada {#dr._frank_haydens_work_with_special_olympics_canada}
Renowned for his research on intellectual disabilities, Dr. Hayden is hugely involved in Special Olympics Canada. He studied the motivation behind individuals with intellectual disabilities to succeed in sports. Contrary to common belief that these individuals could not participate in sport because of their disabilities, Dr. Hayden proved that it was actually the lack of opportunity that caused their fitness levels to differ from other individuals without intellectual disabilities. With this knowledge, Dr. Hayden proposed the idea of a national sport competition for individuals with intellectual disabilities to participate in. At this time, Eunice Kennedy Shriver was working on creating an organization with the same purpose as Dr. Hayden's proposal, due to her experience with her sister's intellectual disability. Shriver reached out to Dr. Hayden and the two (amongst others) collaborated to host an event in Chicago, Illinois, which would be known as the first international Special Olympics Summer Games in 1968. In these games, Canada and the US were the only participating countries. Currently, 170 countries compete in the Special Olympic games across the globe. Dr. Hayden is still involved with Special Olympics Canada currently, and was recently inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall Of Fame (Class of 2016) for his contribution to the sport community.
## Sport Participation in Youth with Intellectual Disabilities (SPY-ID) Project {#sport_participation_in_youth_with_intellectual_disabilities_spy_id_project}
Led by Dr. Jonathan Weiss of York University, this project aims to understand what the motivating factors are behind retaining participation of intellectual disabled individuals in sport. Youth across Canada are selected to participate in this research and are interviewed by the researchers about their personalities, feelings and attitudes toward activities. The research group then looks at which participants are still involved with sporting activities after a year of the initial selection and can draw conclusions and suggestions at this point.

# NELINET
**NELINET**, Inc. was an American not-for-profit membership cooperative of academic, public, school and special libraries and other information and cultural organizations in New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont). It was formed as a program of the New England Board of Higher Education in 1966, and became independently incorporated in 1979. It merged into Lyrasis in 2009.
NELINET\'s primary services included member education, technical and general support, and consulting. NELINET was also a regional service provider for OCLC. In addition, NELINET provided regional resources, such as [New England Regional Depository](http://www.nelinet.net/deposit/index.htm), the [New England Collections Online](http://www.nelinet.net/digital/necol/index.htm), the [NELINET Technology Sandbox](http://forums.nelinet.net/sandbox/), and [TrendGauge](http://forums.nelinet.net/blogs/) (an information awareness blogging service).
Another activity was to act as a cooperative purchasing agent for electronic resources such as an academic databases, online journals and e-books. Since NELINET had over 600 member libraries that included many of the strongest academic library programs in the United States, its combined buying power was substantial.
The mission of NELINET was to collaborate with its member libraries, and with other regional, national and international partners, to create opportunities for connections, collaboration, and cooperation among members to shape the future of New England libraries, museums, historical societies, and other related information organizations in the evolving information environment. NELINET was a multitype library cooperative, including academic, public, school, corporate, and special (including medical, law, and theological). The governing Board of Directors was elected by and from the membership.
Nelinet also sponsored an information technology conference annually in the New England area, sponsoring topics of general IT interest to libraries. Topics included library-related items, such as open source projects, with leaders in the fields giving presentations.
NELINET was based in Southborough, Massachusetts (a suburb of Boston).

# NELINET
## History
NELINET roots began in 1955 when the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHI) was established by the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont) to achieve foster inter-institutional cooperation. In the early 1960s, NEBHI began to recognize that a significant potential might exist for inter-library cooperation. On April 28, 1964, a meeting of the six state land grant university libraries was held at which they agreed that cooperative ventures in technical services such as using a computer to control acquisitions.
On August 15, 1966, the Council on Library Resources (CLR) awarded NEBHI a grant to design a regional cataloging and processing center for New England. Within a month, the first progress report on creating a technical processing center was written. In December 1966, NEBHI requested and the Council of Library Resources later awarded another grant to develop a pilot project for a regional processing center. In October 1967, the name New England Library Information Network (NELINET) was adopted. The first test of the processing center using records derived from MARC tapes was a remote site, the University of New Hampshire library, occurred in December 1967. It was also in July of that year that OCLC, the Ohio College Library Center, legally incorporated.
The first full-time director of NELINET was hired in 1968: Samuel Goldstein from the University of Massachusetts. In January 1971, Ronald Miller succeeded him as director. At that time, membership categories were established, and in the summer of 1971 the NELINET membership increased to 21 libraries. On October 6, 1971, an agreement was reached between NELINET and another new technical processing organization, OCLC, to see if the OCLC system could be replicated at NELINET. However, instead, in November, NELINET received a CLR grant for a 15-week simulation of the OCLC system and a six-month test of the system to be done at Dartmouth College, while developments of the NELINET system continued. As a result of these tests, in April 1972 the NELINET board of directors unanimously resolved to commit NELINET to work towards the implementation of the OCLC system in New England. Public libraries started joining NELINET in 1972, the first being the Ferguson Library of Stamford, Connecticut. By September 1974, a NELINET member, Northeastern University, cataloged the one-millionth book in the OCLC system.
By May 1975, NELINET was second only to Ohio in the use of the OCLC system. In 1977, John Linford replaced Ron Miller as Director and brought a new perspective to NELINET. By 1978, NELINET matured to a point where some change in the relationship with NEBHI was inevitable. On January 13, 1978, plans developed for the possible separation of NELINET from NEBHI. This resulted in NELINET filing for incorporation in 1978 (eleven years after OCLC had done so). In 1982, Laima Mockus became the Executive Director. Marshall Keys became the Executive Director in 1989, and in 1999 Arnold Hirshon became the new Executive Director.
In 2008, Nelinet began a large project to incorporate Open Source Hosting (Now known as SAAS) for libraries and began a hosted library checkin/out system using a system called Evergreen, running at the Nelinet offices, with other library applications to follow. Beta testing of this new service was done with cooperation of a group of libraries in Vermont. Talks were also in progress to expand the service to the NH Library Systems. A colocation facility in Sommerville was selected and work began to move the hosted systems to the facility.
In October, 2009, NELINET joined Lyrasis, which was formed from the merger of PALINET and SOLINET. The plan was to make the Southboro office the technical center of the company due to the new colocation facility and the Open Source Hosting services. At this time, NELINET was to move to a smaller space in Southborough, as the employee count was already down to less than 16. These plans fell through and layoffs began to occur and the new office space was cancelled. The local office in Southborough, MA was closed in June 2010 with a handful of workers from the office \'working at home\'. As of September 2011, most had been laid off

# The Holcroft Covenant (film)
***The Holcroft Covenant*** is a 1985 thriller film based on the 1978 Robert Ludlum novel of the same name. The film stars Michael Caine and was directed by John Frankenheimer. The script was written by Edward Anhalt, George Axelrod, and John Hopkins.
## Plot
Noel Holcroft\'s late father - who was a general in the Wehrmacht and once close to Adolf Hitler - left behind a fortune supposedly to make amends for his wrongdoings. But more than forty years later, Noel finds himself embroiled in a web of conspiracies involving the children of two of his father\'s Nazi colleagues, a mysterious organisation supposedly devoted to ensuring the Nazis never again come to power, and a woman who may be Noel\'s downfall or his only hope.
## Cast
- Michael Caine as Noel Holcroft
- Anthony Andrews as Johann von Tiebolt/Jonathan Tennyson
- Victoria Tennant as Helden von Tiebolt/Helden Tennyson
- Lilli Palmer as Althene Holcroft
- Mario Adorf as Erich Kessler/Jürgen Maas
- Michael Lonsdale as Manfredi
- Bernard Hepton as Leighton
- Shane Rimmer as Lieutenant Miles
- Alexander Kerst as General Heinrich Clausen
- Michael Wolf as General Erich Kessler
- Richard Münch as Oberst
## Production
### Development
The film was part of a five picture slate from Thorn EMI in 1985, others including *A Passage to India*, *Wild Geese II*, *Morons from Outer Space* and *Dreamchild*.
### Writing
Edy and Ely Landau bought the film rights to the novel along with *The Chancellor Manuscript*. The first draft of the script was done by John Hopkins before Edward Anhalt was brought in to do rewrites. However, when John Frankenheimer became attached as director, he got George Axelrod to rework most of the screenplay. Frankenheimer called the film \"a conspiracy movie\" about \"a man\'s search for his father\". The director added, \"I love Ludlum. I\'m a great fan of Ludlum. I buy Ludlum\'s books. I mean, I pay bookstore prices for Ludlum\".
\"The script I worked from was relatively humorless,\" says Axelrod. \"When John and I suggested adding much more humor, the producers said they didn\'t want a Walter Matthau romp. But John told them he could take the script of *Some Like It Hot* and turn it into a social documentary on the effects of gang warfare on the music business in Chicago during Prohibition and how that affected women\'s liberation - and that they needn\'t worry about him being too funny.\" Axelrod admitted he did not read the novel because he didn\'t have time.
### Casting
Renee Soutendijk was meant to have a role in the film but it was removed shortly before filming and she was told she was not required for filming. \"In my opinion, it was central to the story but . . . such things have happened before,\" she said. \"It\'s the American way of dealing with people. In the U.S. you become aware of just being a product. You\'re either money to them or you\'re not.\"
Although James Caan was originally cast as Noel Holcroft, he walked off the set due to disagreements with the producers. Director John Frankenheimer later said \"I will be forever grateful to James Caan. Forever. Because he gave me the best gift that\'s ever happened to me in my career, which is Michael Caine.\" \"As far as I\'m concerned, he is probably the best actor I\'ve ever worked with,\" added Frankenheimer. \"Certainly the best actor I\'ve ever worked with who gets the girl.\"
### Filming
Filming started in Berlin on 2 July 1984. After Caan left the film, filming resumed on 11 July. Scenes were also shot in Munich, Lindau and London.
## Release
The film was released on October 18, 1985. Against a \$13 million budget, the film made only \$393,825 in the United States during its initial release.

# The Holcroft Covenant (film)
## Reception
The film has mostly negative reviews. *Variety* said its troubled production had resulted in a film that has \"a muddled narrative deficient in thrills or plausibility\". *Time Out London* says all Caine does is spend the film \"jetting to international tourist locations so that he can be filled in on the next plot twist by an obliging minor character\". The reviewer at Cinema Retro blamed \"questionable\" directorial decisions by John Frankenheimer, combined with \"Ludlum's lame storytelling\" and \"trying to turn the rambling, 528-page potboiler into a leaner 100-minute-long movie\", for the film\'s failings.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 27% from 11 reviews.

# Maestà (Duccio)
The ***Maestà***, or ***Maestà of Duccio***, is an altarpiece composed of many individual paintings commissioned by the city of Siena in Tuscany in 1308 from the artist Duccio di Buoninsegna and is his major work. Duccio\'s *Maestà* was the first altarpiece to have both a front and back side. The front panels make up a large enthroned Madonna and Child with saints and angels, and a predella of the *Childhood of Christ* with prophets.
The reverse showed in a total of forty-three small panels scenes of the *Life of the Virgin* and the *Life of Christ* (topped by additional six panels with angels). Several panels are now dispersed or lost. The base of the panel has an inscription that reads (in translation): \"Holy Mother of God, be thou the cause of peace for Siena and life to Duccio because he painted thee thus.\" Though it took a generation for its effect to be truly felt, Duccio\'s *Maestà* set Italian painting on a course leading away from the hieratic representations of the Italo-Byzantine style towards more direct presentations of reality, as developed in the course of the Trecento associated predominantly with Giotto who presumably was Duccio\'s pupil.
## History
Duccio di Buoninsegna painted the work with assistants in a studio located on Via Stalloreggi, very close to Siena Cathedral. The painting was installed in the cathedral on 9 June 1311 after a procession of the work in a loop around the city. One person who witnessed this event wrote:
> And on that day when it was brought into the cathedral, all workshops remained closed, and the bishop commanded a great host of devoted priests and monks to file past in solemn procession. This was accompanied by all the high officers of the Commune and by all the people; all honorable citizens of Siena surrounded said panel with candles held in their hands, and women and children followed humbly behind. They accompanied the panel amidst the glorious pealing of bells after a solemn procession on the Piazza del Campo into the very cathedral; and all this out of reverence for the costly panel... The poor received many alms, and we prayed to the Holy Mother of God, our patron saint, that she might in her infinite mercy preserve this our city of Siena from every misfortune, traitor or enemy.
Besides the Virgin Mary and the Baby Jesus, saints depicted in the painting include John the Evangelist (to the left of the throne); Saint Paul; Catherine of Alexandria; John the Baptist (to the right of the throne); Saint Peter; Mary Magdalene, and Saint Agnes. In the foreground are Siena\'s various patron saints: Saint Ansanus; Saint Sabinus; Saint Crescentius; and Saint Victor.
Creating this altarpiece assembled from many wood panels bonded together before painting was an arduous undertaking. The work was not only large, the central panel was 7 by 13 feet, but it had to be painted on both sides since it could be seen from all directions when installed on the main altar at the centre of the sanctuary.
### Dismantling and current locations {#dismantling_and_current_locations}
The altarpiece remained in place until 1771, when it was dismantled in order to distribute the pieces between two altars. The 5 m construction was dismantled and sawn up, and the paintings damaged in the process. Partial restoration took place in 1956. The dismantling also led to pieces going astray, either being sold or simply unaccounted for. Extant remains of the altarpiece not at Siena are divided among several other museums in Europe and the United States.
The panels in Siena are housed in the Duomo museum adjacent to the Duomo di Siena. The central panel, lower panels, and rear are displayed separately in the same room.

# Robert Helliwell
**Robert A. Helliwell** (September 2, 1920 -- May 3, 2011) was an electrical engineer and professor at Stanford University. He was one of the pioneering scientists in the study of whistlers and related ionospheric phenomena.
## Early life {#early_life}
Helliwell was born in Red Wing, Minnesota, on September 2, 1920. He and his mother moved to Palo Alto, California after his father died. Helliwell and his wife, whom he knew in high school, were both undergraduates at Stanford University.
## Career
Helliwell was associated with Stanford University for his entire career, receiving all his academic credentials there and becoming a member of the electrical engineering faculty in 1946. Helliwell received his AB degree in 1942, a combined MA and electrical engineering degree in 1944, and his PhD in 1948.
## Whistlers
Helliwell\'s greatest discovery was accidental, as is often the case in science. Helliwell and one of his students, Jack Mallinckrodt, were investigating lightning noise at very low radio frequencies at Stanford University in 1950. Mallinckrodt heard some whistling sounds and brought them to Helliwell\'s attention. As Helliwell recalled in an article in the October 1982, issue of the Stanford Engineer, he thought it was an artifact, but he stood radio watch with Mallinckrodt until he heard these whistlers for himself. Helliwell described these sounds as \"weird, strange and unbelievable as flying saucers\" in a 1954 article in the Palo Alto Times.
## Research
In true scientific fashion, Helliwell tried to understand the mechanism involved in the production of whistlers. He conducted experiments at the VLF outpost, Siple Station in West Antarctica, which was active from 1971 to 1988. Since the wavelength of VLF radio signals is huge (a frequency of 10 kHz corresponds to a wavelength of 30 kilometers, or 18.64 miles), the Siple Station had an antenna that was thirteen miles long. The antenna was used to transmit VLF radio signals into Earth\'s magnetosphere, to be detected half a world away in Canada. It was possible to inject these signals into the magnetosphere, since the ionosphere is transparent to these low frequencies.
## Writings
Helliwell was the author of one book, \"Whistlers and Related Ionospheric Phenomena,\" and more than 90 scientific papers. Three of his papers deserve special mention. One of these reported on low frequency emissions associated with the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Another describes how injection of a low frequency radio signal into the magnetosphere causes a radio quieting of the natural noise that\'s associated with these frequencies. Another paper showed that the alternating current power grids in North America (60 Hz) and Europe (50 Hz) affect auroral chorus emissions.
## Honors
Helliwell was a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the American Geophysical Union, and a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the United States National Academy of Sciences. The National Science Foundation named a range of hills in Antarctica, along the coast of Victoria Land on the Ross Sea, the Helliwell Hills in his honor
