The Toyota UZ engine family is a gasoline[1] fueled 32-valvequad-camshaftV8piston engine series used in Toyota's luxury offerings and sport utility vehicles.[2] Three variants have been produced: the 1UZ-FE, 2UZ-FE, and 3UZ-FE. Production spanned 24 years, from 1989 to mid 2013, ending with the final production of the 3UZ-FE-powered Toyota Crown Majesta I-FOUR.[3] Toyota's UZ engine family was replaced by the UR engine family.
+
The 4.0 L; 242.1 cu in (3,968 cc) all-alloy 1UZ-FE debuted in 1989 in the first generation Lexus LS 400/Toyota Celsior and the engine was progressively released across a number of other models in the Toyota/Lexus range. The engine is oversquare by design, with a bore and stroke size of 87.5 mm × 82.5 mm (3.44 in × 3.25 in).[2] It has proven to be a strong, reliable and smooth powerplant with features such as 6-bolt main bearings and belt-driven quad-camshafts. The water pump is also driven by the cam belt. The connecting rods and crankshaft are constructed of steel. The pistons are hypereutectic.

1UZ-FE (rear view)
+
The FV2400-2TC derivative is one of the few road-going engines that is FAA approved for use in an airplane.
+
Its resemblance to a race engine platform (6 bolt cross mains and over square configuration) was confirmed in 2007 by David Currier (in an interview with v-eight.com), vice president of TRD USA, stating that the 1UZ platform was based on CART/IRL engine design. It was planned to be used on GT500 vehicles, however its subsequent use in the Daytona Prototype use had not been planned.
+
In its standard, original trim with 10.0:1 compression, power output is 191 kW (256 hp; 260 PS), torque of 353 N⋅m (260 lb⋅ft).[2]
+
The engine was slightly revised in 1995 with lighter connecting rods and pistons and an increased compression ratio to 10.4:1 resulting in peak power of 195 kW (261 hp; 265 PS) at 5,400 rpm and torque of 365 N⋅m (269 lb⋅ft) at 4,400 rpm.
+
In 1997, Toyota's VVT-i variable valve timing technology was introduced along with a further compression ratio increase to 10.5:1,[2] bumping power and torque to 216 kW (290 hp; 294 PS) at 5,900 rpm and 407 N⋅m (300 lb⋅ft) at 4,100 rpm. For the GS400, output was rated at 224 kW (300 hp; 305 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 420 N⋅m (310 lbf⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm.
+
The 2UZ-FE was a 4.7 L; 284.6 cu in (4,663 cc) version built in Tahara, Aichi, Japan and at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama. Unlike its other UZ counterparts, this version uses a cast iron block to increase durability, as it was designed for low-revving, high-torque pickup and SUV applications. Its bore and stroke is 94 mm × 84 mm (3.70 in × 3.31 in).[2] Output varies by implementation, but one VVT-i variant produces 202 kW (271 hp; 275 PS) at 4800 rpm with 427 N⋅m (315 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3400 rpm. JDM versions produce 173 kW (232 hp; 235 PS) at 4800 rpm and 422 N⋅m (311 lb⋅ft) at 3600 rpm, while Australian models produce 170 kW (228 hp; 231 PS) at 4800 rpm and 410 N⋅m (302 lbf⋅ft) at 3600 rpm.[2]
+
Like the 1UZ-FE, it has aluminum DOHC cylinder heads, MFI fuel injection, 4 valves per cylinder with bucket tappets, one-piece cast camshafts, and a cast aluminum intake manifold. For 2010, it was replaced by the 1UR-FE or 3UR-FE, depending on the country.
+
The 3UZ-FE is a 4.3 L; 261.9 cu in (4,292 cc) version built in Japan. Bore and stroke is 91 mm × 82.5 mm (3.58 in × 3.25 in)
+.[2] Output is 216 to 224 kW (290 to 300 hp; 294 to 305 PS) at 5600 rpm with 441 N⋅m (325 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3400 rpm. The engine block and heads are aluminum. It has a DOHC valvetrain with 4 valves per cylinder and VVT-i. It uses SEFI fuel injection. In 2003, the engine was paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, resulting in improved fuel economy over the previous five-speed automatic.[2]
+
A 4.5L version replaced the 3S-GTE as the engine used in Toyota's 500 hp (373 kW) Super GT race cars up to 2009[citation needed] and a 5.0L version was used in the Grand American Road Racing (Grand Am) Series.[8]
+
In 1997, the US Federal Aviation Administration granted production certification for the FV2400-2TC, a twin-turbocharged airplane powerplant based on the 1UZ-FE.[9] The 360 hp (268 kW; 365 PS) FV2400 was developed in partnership with Hamilton Standard, which provided the digital engine-control system.[9] The goal was to produce a four-seat propeller aircraft.[10]
+
In 1998, a marine derivative of the UZ powerplant was produced for boating applications. The 4.0 L VT300i engine, producing 224 kW; 304 PS (300 hp) at 6000 rpm and 420 N⋅m (310 lb⋅ft) at 4200 rpm, used the same block as the UZ engine on the Lexus SC 400, GS 400, and LS 400.

The town was visited in 1900 by the American traveller Oscar T. Crosby, who mentions the presence of a market and an Ethiopian military outpost.[1] Crosby knew the settlement as Wenbera, as did the consul R E Cheesman, who stayed there for a few days in April 1927. He described the settlement as "a large village of a few hundred houses and is important chiefly for its market and as a centre for caravan traffic. One set of merchants plies between there and Roseires in the Sudan, and another goes to the Abyssinian main plateau; both carry the famous coffee grown at Kitar in Wanbera district. We had reached an altitude where the Amhara can live, but the population is strongly oromo."[2]

Prior to the late Devonian period, there was little plant life beyond lichens, and bryophytes. At this time large vascular plants evolved, growing up to 30 meters (98 ft 5.1 in) in height. These large plants changed the atmosphere, and altered the composition of the soil by increasing the amount of organiccarbon. This helped prevent the soil being washed away through erosion.

The American University of Iraq – Baghdad (AUIB) is private, not-for-profit university established in 2018 and started its teaching activities in February 2021 with 260 students in three colleges including Arts & Sciences, International Studies, and Business. The campus has grown quickly with the addition of five more colleges including Pharmacy, Dentistry, Health Technologies, Nursing, and Law.[1][2]
+
The university opened in February, 2021. It models itself on other regional American-style liberal arts universities such as the American University of Beirut, and the American University of Cairo.
+In 2017, after deciding the location, the United States Ambassador to Iraq signed an agreement that would pave the way for the university.[3] Its inaugural intake in 2021 comprised approximately three hundred undergraduates. Most of this cohort took English language skills courses at the university's English Language Academy before embarking on their baccalaureate programs.[4] The university opened with three colleges, arts and sciences, business, and International studies.[3]
+
The university's campus is located in what was previously Saddam Hussein’s Al Faw Palace. The former despot built the palace in the 1990s.[3]
+The grounds belong to the Iraqi government, which leased the former palace to the university on a fifty-year basis. The university has the option to extend the lease for another fifty years when the current lease expires.[3]
+The campus consists of palaces and attached houses; it spans 643 acres,[5] and has a campus bus service. Diverted water from the Tigris River fills its lakes which some claim contain a unique species of large bass.[6]
+Hussein’s initials remain etched on into the ceilings, columns, and walls.[3]
+
A founder's message on the institution's website reads, "I am Saadi Saihood and my sons and I have made it our family’s mission to usher our country out of its legacy of terrorism and turbulence."[7]
+
So far, the founders have invested $200 million on renovations and refurbishments.[4]
+
The institution's website posits, “To be truly American, a university must adopt not only English as its language of instruction but also the culture and ethos of higher education in the United States as recognized through U.S. accreditation.”
+
The university's president, Michael Mulnix claims the university offers, “an American model of education focusing on the liberal arts,”
+Before starting their majors, the university's students spend two years studying philosophy, sociology, psychology, and world history.[8]

The bilabial nasal click is a click consonant found in some of the languages of southern Africa. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ʘ̃⟩ or ⟨ᵑʘ⟩.
+
The airstream mechanism is lingual ingressive (also known as velaric ingressive), which means a pocket of air trapped between two closures is rarefied by a "sucking" action of the tongue, rather than being moved by the glottis or the lungs/diaphragm. The release of the forward closure produces the "click" sound. Voiced and nasal clicks have a simultaneous pulmonic egressive airstream.
Bilabial nasal clicks only occur in the Tuu and Kx'a families of southern Africa, in the Australian ritual language Damin, and for /mw/ in some of the languages neighboring Shona, such as at least for some speakers of Ndau and Tonga.
+
The Tuu and Kx'a languages also have glottalized nasal clicks. These are formed by closing the glottis so that the click is pronounced in silence; however, any preceding vowel will be nasalized.

Maxime Le Bailly, comtesse de La Falaise (25 June 1922 – 30 April 2009),[1][2] was an English 1950s model,[3] and, in the 1960s, an underground movie actress.[4] She was also a cookery writer and "food maven"[5] as well as a fashion designer for Blousecraft, Chloé and Gérard Pipart.[6] In her later years she pursued a career as a furniture and interior designer.[7]
+
She was born 22 June 1922 in West Dean, West Sussex, England as Maxine Birley[8] into a family of successful artists, businesspeople and academics. She grew up in Hampstead, and later at Charleston Manor, East Sussex. Her father, Sir Oswald Birley (1880–1952), was a celebrated portrait painter known for his portraits of royalty and others.[9][10] Her mother was Rhoda Vava Mary Lecky Pike, of County Carlow, a gardener and successful artist. Maxine's brother, Mark Birley (1930–2007), became an entrepreneur known for his investments in the hospitality industry.[citation needed][11]
+
She changed her first name to Maxime after her first marriage, to French aristocrat Alain Le Bailly de La Falaise, in 1946.[12][13] She was known as Maxime de La Falaise McKendry, for a while, after her second marriage to John McKendry, Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Metropolitan Museum.[4][14]
+
In the 1950s, Maxime de La Falaise worked for Elsa Schiaparelli as a vendeuse mondaine which she explained as "a sort of muse who was supposed to encourage sales to the rich English".[15] She modelled for photographers such as Jack Robinson and Cecil Beaton.[16]

While living in New York Maxime de La Falaise wrote a food column for Vogue magazine.[12] In 1980, she published a collection of these columns, with her own illustrations, under the title Food in Vogue. In 1973 she published Seven Centuries of English Cooking: A Collection of Recipes.[12] She also wrote the foreword to My Kingdom of Books (1999) by Richard Booth.[18]
+
Andy Warhol envisioned Maxime de La Falaise as part of Andy Warhol's Nothing Serious, his 1971 video project designed for television.[14] Warhol included her along with such personalities as Candy Darling and Brigid Berlin in his 1973 black-and-white video Phoney (later incorporated into the 1991 Andy Warhol's Video & Television Retrospective),.[14]
+
She also appeared in the 1974 film Blood for Dracula (not made by Warhol despite being titled Andy Warhol's Dracula in the US and West Germany).[12]
+
According to the New York Times in 1977, Warhol had La Falaise design a menu for Andymat, Warhol's version of the automat, which included onion tarts, shepherds' pie, fish cakes, Irish lamb stew, key lime pie and a "nursery cocktail" of milk on the rocks. Her association with Warhol was such that one source called her "The Factory mother".[19]

Alexis Richard Dion Oswald Le Bailly de La Falaise, (1948-2004) was a furniture designer who also appeared in the Warhol film Tub Girls. Alexis' had two children: Daniel de La Falaise, is a chef, food writer, and photographer, and is married to Molly Malone; and Lucie de La Falaise, is a model, and is married to Marlon Richards, son of Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg.

In this simplified diagram the wheels, tires, and suspension are all part of the vehicle's unsprung weight, with only its one-piece chassis/body constituting its sprung weight
+
The unsprung mass (colloquially unsprung weight) of a vehicle is the mass of the suspension, wheels or tracks (as applicable), and other components directly connected to them. This contrasts with the sprung mass (or weight) supported by the suspension, which includes the body and other components within or attached to it. Components of the unsprung mass include the wheel axles, wheel bearings, wheel hubs, tires, and a portion of the weight of driveshafts, springs, shock absorbers, and suspension links. Brakes that are mounted inboard (i.e. as on the drive shaft, and not part of the wheel or its hub) are part of a vehicle's sprung mass.
+
The unsprung mass of a typical wheel/tire combination represents a trade-off between the pair's bump-absorbing/road-tracking ability and vibration isolation. Bumps and surface imperfections in the road cause tire compression, inducing a force on the unsprung mass. The unsprung mass then reacts to this force with movement of its own. The motion amplitude for small duration and amplitude bumps is inversely proportional to the weight. A lighter wheel which readily rebounds from road bumps will have more grip and more constant grip when tracking over an imperfect road. For this reason, lighter wheels are sought especially for high-performance applications. However, the lighter wheel will soak up less vibration. The irregularities of the road surface will transfer to the cabin through the suspension and hence ride quality and road noise are worse. For longer duration bumps that the wheels follow, greater unsprung mass causes more energy to be absorbed by the wheels and makes the ride worse.
+
Pneumatic or elastic tires help by restoring some spring to the (otherwise) unsprung mass, but the damping possible from tire flexibility is limited by considerations of fuel economy and overheating. The shock absorbers, if any, also damp the spring motion and must be less stiff than would optimally damp the wheel bounce. So the wheels still vibrate after each bump before coming to rest. On dirt roads and on some softly paved roads, the induced motion generates small bumps, known as corrugations, washboarding or "corduroy" because they resemble smaller versions of the bumps in roads made of logs. These cause sustained wheel bounce in subsequent axles, enlarging the bumps.
+
High unsprung mass also exacerbates wheel control issues under hard acceleration or braking. If the vehicle does not have adequate wheel location in the vertical plane (such as a rear-wheel drive car with Hotchkiss drive, a live axle supported by simple leaf springs), vertical forces exerted by acceleration or hard braking combined with high unsprung mass can lead to severe wheel hop, compromising traction and steering control.
+
A beneficial effect of unsprung mass is that high frequency road irregularities, such as the gravel in an asphalt or concrete road surface, are isolated from the body more completely because the tires and springs act as separate filter stages, with the unsprung mass tending to uncouple them.
+Likewise, sound and vibration isolation is improved (at the expense of handling), in production automobiles, by the use of rubber bushings between the frame and suspension, by any flexibility in the frame or body work, and by the flexibility of the seats.
+
Unsprung mass is a consideration in the design of a vehicle's suspension and the materials chosen for its components. Beam axle suspensions, in which wheels on opposite sides are connected as a rigid unit, generally have greater unsprung mass than independent suspension systems, in which the wheels are suspended and allowed to move separately. Heavy components such as the differential can be made part of the sprung mass by connecting them directly to the body (as in a de Dion tube rear suspension). Lightweight materials, such as aluminum, plastic, carbon fiber, and/or hollow components can provide further weight reductions at the expense of greater cost and/or fragility.
+
The term 'unsprung mass' was coined by the mathematician Albert Healey of the Dunlop tyre company. He presented one of the first lectures taking a rigid analytical approach to suspension design, 'The Tyre as a part of the Suspension System' to the Institution of Automobile Engineers in November 1924.[1] This lecture was published as a 100-page paper.[2]
+
Inboard brakes can significantly reduce unsprung mass, but put more load on half axles and (constant velocity) universal joints, and require space that may not be easily accommodated. If located next to a differential or transaxle, waste heat from the brakes may overheat the differential or vice versa, particularly in hard use, such as racing. They also make anti-dive suspension characteristics harder to achieve because the moment created by braking does not act on the suspension arms.
+
The Chapman strut used the driveshafts as suspension arms, thus requiring only the weight of one component rather than two. Jaguar's patented independent rear suspension (IRS) similarly reduced unsprung mass by replacing the upper wishbone arms of the suspension with the drive shafts, as well as mounting the brakes inboard in some versions.
+
Scooter-type motorcycles use an integrated engine-gearbox-final drive system that pivots as part of the rear suspension and hence is partly unsprung. This arrangement is linked to the use of quite small wheels, further affecting their poor reputation for road-holding.[citation needed]

Samuela Kerevi was born in Viseisei, Fiji. He moved with his family to Australia at aged 4.[4] His father, Nimilote Kerevi, is a former Fiji international soccer player. His brother Josua Kerevi has also played representative rugby.[4]
+
In 2012, Samu Kerevi (his ref name was Musashi) played Premier Rugby for GPS Old Boys in Brisbane.[7] He was selected alongside his brother Josua in the Fiji Under-20 team for the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship in South Africa.[1] In the opening pool match against Wales, he scored the first try of the tournament and he followed that up with a double against Samoa.[8]
+
Kerevi continues to play regularly for the Australian team and featured in their squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.[14] Following the world cup Kerevi signed with Japanese club Suntory Sungoliath who he is currently playing for in the Top League.
+
Kerevi was a member of the Australian men's rugby seven's squad at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The team came third in their pool round and then lost to Fiji 19-nil in the quarterfinal.[15]Full details.

Pacem in terris (lit.'Peace on Earth') was a papal encyclical issued by Pope John XXIII on 11 April 1963 on the rights and obligations of individuals and of the state, as well as the proper relations between states. It emphasized human dignity and equality among all people, and made mention of issues such as the rights of women, nuclear non-proliferation, and the United Nations, all of which it endorsed. It was the last encyclical drafted by John XXIII, who had been diagnosed with cancer in September 1962 and died two months after the encyclical's completion. Biographer Peter Hebblethwaite called it Pope John's "last will and testament".[2] Published on Holy Thursday, the Pope called it his "Easter gift".
+
Due to its importance and popularity, Pacem in Terris is deposited at the UN archives.
+
The full title of the encyclical is On Establishing Universal Peace in Truth, Justice, Charity and Liberty. The short title Pacem in terris is derived from the opening words of the encyclical, as is customary with papal documents:
+
Pacem in terris, quam homines universi cupidissime quovis tempore appetiverunt, condi confirmarique non posse constat, nisi ordine, quem Deus constituit, sancte servato.
+
("Peace on earth, for which all men of every era have most eagerly yearned, cannot be firmly established unless the order which God laid down is dutifully observed.")
Pacem in terris was the first encyclical that a pope addressed to "all men of good will", rather than only to Catholics, quoting the praise to God as said by the heavenly army above the manger of Bethlehem (LatinVulgate: in terra pax in hominibus bonae voluntatis, Luke2:14; English translation: 2:13–14).[3] Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, Mary Ann Glendon, interprets this to mean, "He was insisting that the responsibility for setting conditions for peace does not just belong to the great and powerful of the world—it belongs to each and every one of us."[4] In theological terms, it marked a major shift in papal teaching from reliance on classical scholastic categories of natural law to a more inductive approach based on the signs of the times.[5]
+
In this work, John XXIII reacted to the political situation in the middle of the Cold War. Coming just months after the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, during which the Vatican served as an intermediary between the White House and the Kremlin,[6] the document also reflected the Pope's experience of 1960 in trying to resolve difficulties arising out the four-power occupation of Berlin. The "peace encyclical" was issued only two years after the erection of the Berlin Wall. It also draws on Pope John's reading of Saint Augustine's The City of God and Thomas Aquinas' view of Eternal Law.[7] In this it echoes the Gospel's core values and principles of patristic and medieval thought, while reflecting the historical period in which it was written.[8]
+
Sociologist Monsignor Pietro Pavan and a small group of theologians helped draft it.[9] In Pavan's view Pacem in terris would present the teachings of Leo XIII on the eternal law, "in light of the changing tides of history, and allow them to resonate with a much wider audience".[7]
+
The Pope explains in this encyclical that conflicts "should not be resolved by recourse to arms, but rather by negotiation". He further emphasizes the importance of respect of human rights as an essential consequence of the Christian understanding of men. He clearly establishes "that every man has the right to life, to bodily integrity, and to the means which are suitable for the proper development of life."
+
Pacem in terris is an extended reflection on the moral order. The document is divided into four sections.
+
+
The first section of the encyclical establishes the relationship between individuals and humankind, encompassing the issues of human rights and moral duties.
+
The second section addresses the relationship between man and state, dwelling on the collective authority of the latter.
+
The third section establishes the need for equality amongst nations and the need for the state to be subject to rights and duties that the individual must abide by.
+
The final section presents the need for greater relations between nations, thus resulting in collective states assisting other states. The encyclical ends with the urging of Catholics to assist non-Christians and non-Catholics in political and social aspects.
“Pacem in Terris was more than an encyclical—it was an event," recalls Glendon.[4]
+Pacem in Terris was the first papal encyclical published in its entirety in the New York Times.[10] The Washington Post said, "Pacem in terris is not just the voice of an old priest, nor just that of an ancient Church; it is the voice of the conscience of the world."[4] According to the periodical Catholic World Report, "Two years later, it was the subject of a conference at the United Nations attended by over 2,000 statespersons and scholars."[4]
+
F. Russell Hittinger describes the encyclical "as a kind of magna carta of the Catholic Church's position on human rights and natural law".[7] Pope John XXIII's 1963 encyclical Pacem in terris ("Peace on Earth") radically affected Catholic social teaching not only on war and peace, but on church-state relations, women's rights, religious freedom, international relations and other major issues. Fr. J. Bryan Hehir called Pacem in terris "a pivotal text in [papal] encyclical history" that played a major role in the development of the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Religious Freedom and its Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, and on Pope John Paul II's encyclical Centesimus annus ("The Hundredth Year"), which marked the centennial of Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical on labor, Rerum Novarum.[5] It also influenced the 1965 Declaration on Religious Freedom (Dignitatis humanae).[5]
+
During an event held on 6 May 2019, in Bulgaria, where John XXIII had gained a reputation for protecting Jews when serving as the country's Vatican representative,[13] Pope Francis invoked the encyclical as a "code of conduct" for peace between Catholics and other religions.[13][14]

Also in 2007, Chan took matters into his own hands and wrote, directed, produced, and starred in his own film, Fate Scores, which also featured the acoustic guitar song "It Won't Be Long", written and performed by Chan.[2] In his directorial debut, Chan was recognized by the National Film Board of Canada as second runner-up for Best Canadian Short Film at the Vancouver Asian Film Festival in 2009.[3]Fate Scores premiered at the Wisconsin Film Festival on April 5, 2009, and has since appeared in seven additional film festivals in North America.[4] The film was acquired for distribution in 2010 by Moving Images Distribution (formerly Canadian Filmmakers Distribution West).
+
Chan returned to filmmaking in 2011 when he wrote, directed, executive produced, and starred in his own film, The Commitment, about an interracial gay couple adopting a newborn baby. The film was inspired by an unsuccessful adoption in Chan's actual life. "Those familiar with domestic adoption had told us before we began that the adoption process is truly a roller coaster ride, and now we finally understood what these people meant," Chan explained on the film's official website.[5] "I dealt with the feelings of loss and disappointment the only way I knew how—I wrote a screenplay. Four unsuccessful birthparent matches and one year later, The Commitment went into production. Two weeks after the film wrapped, our beautiful son Andrew was born, the result of our fifth match." The film premiered in Palm Springs on September 22, 2012, and has since won the 2013 National Association of Social Workers Media Award for Best Feature Film (edging out fellow nominees Moonrise Kingdom and What to Expect When You're Expecting (film), the Audience Award for Best Short at the 2013 Desperado LGBT Film Festival (Phoenix, AZ), both the Jury Award and Audience Award for Best LGBT Film at the 2013 SENE Film, Music, & Arts Festival (Providence, RI), a Best LGBT Film nomination at the 2013 Out in the Desert: Tucson's International LGBT Film Festival, Audience Favorite - Short Series at the 2012 Palm Springs Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (shared with Little Ones and Groom's Cake), and Best Supporting Actress - Short Film at the Summer 2012 Asians On Film Festival.[5] The film has screened at over 40 film festivals on six continents.[5]
+
In 2014, Chan completed Descendants of the Past, Ancestors of the Future, a film he wrote and directed, starring Golden Globe, Emmy, and Drama Desk nominee Tina Chen,[6] which won Best Screenplay and Best Actress at the 2015 NYC Downtown Short Film Festival.[7] The film, based on the immigration history of Chan's family, was awarded a Puffin Foundation Grant and named a finalist for the Roy W. Dean Film Grant.[6]
+
In 2016, Chan was cast in the Boston Marathon bombing film Patriots Day starring Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Bacon and also in the final season of the hit HBO series Girls, which aired at the beginning of 2017. That same year, Chan guest starred on the FOX drama Gotham and shot a recurring role as Tony Q on the upcoming TV series Big Dogs.
+
Chan also wrote and co-directed Welcome to the World in 2017, a dark drama about a troubled man who records a video message for his sister. Chan shot the film in one continuous take with a budget of less than $140.[8] Richard Propes of The Independent Critic gave the film four stars and wrote, "riveting piece of human drama... Chan's performance is deeply moving... lingers in your brain long after the closing credits".[9] Kirk Fernwood of One Film Fan praised the film as "intelligent, inventive, and inspired... Chan does a fantastic job... drawing you in with every word... the finale is a stroke of creative brilliance and artistry".[10] The film has screened at over 40 film festivals on six continents.[11]
+
In 2019, Chan was cast as a therapist in the Anna KendrickHBO Max series Love Life, which premiered in 2020. That same year, he scored a role on the hit NBC series New Amsterdam. Also, two of his projects premiered on the same day on Amazon Prime Video: the feature film Big Exit in which Chan plays insurance agent Tim, and the TV series Big Dogs in which Chan has a recurring role as wardrobe stylist Tony Q. The latter also premiered on Tubi.
+
He is currently an on-line spokesperson for Staples Inc. where he demonstrates printers as Mike from EasyTech.
+
As a consequence of both his academic and acting careers, Chan has an Erdős–Bacon number of 4. He co-authored a peer-reviewed paper on OFDM, giving him an Erdős number of 3.[12][13][14] Chan appeared alongside Kevin Bacon in Patriots Day, giving him a Bacon number of 1.[15]
+
Chan has been featured as an up-and-coming actor and director in numerous print and on-line articles including a story by The Advocate,[16] an Asian American Risings A-Profiler feature,[17] four Sampan articles,[18][19][20][8] two Bay Windows interviews,[21][22] an MIT Alumni Association profile,[23] and a Slice of MIT article.[24] He has also appeared as a panelist at a sneak preview of the PBS TV show American Masters: Hollywood Chinese.

+Minimalist photography is a form of photography that is distinguished by extreme, austere simplicity.[1] It emphasizes spareness and focuses solely on the smallest number of objects in the composition process. Minimalist photographers usually focus solely on one particular subject, rather than an abundance of color, patterns and information.[2]
+
Minimalist photography arises from the notion of minimalism in art, which is a style used by many 20th century artists. This style emphasizes the use of a minimal number of compositional elements: color, objects, shapes and texture.[3] The aim of minimalist photography is to express a concept, in order to bring forth a distinctive visual experience or elicit an emotional response from the viewer. In the world of photography, it is viewed as an exceptionally intuitive and personal concept, entrusting interpretation and understanding to the audience perspective of the art[according to whom?].
+
Minimalist photography stems from its initial art movement; minimalism, which was a movement in the 1950s that emerged in the United States, also known as Minimalist Art, Reductive Art or ABC Art. As the name denotes, minimalism — which originates from the word minimum — means the slightest or the littlest amount required.[4] In the art world, minimalism employs a limited amount of elements to construct the desired effect. Generally speaking, the most crucial characteristic of this style is its ultimate simplicity, impartial and neutral approach. For example, an artist utilizing minimalism will normally use a restricted quantity of colors coupled with a simplified subject matter in the construction of the artwork. Artists focus on the idea of simplicity and plainness in their creations and the resulting movement has been a great source of inspiration for other artists in the following decades[according to whom?].
+
Minimalism as an art movement first originated in the 1950s. It is also known as Reductive Art, ABC Art and Minimalist Art. This movement eliminates its objects to the smallest amount of colors, shapes, and textures in order to establish a needed effect. Reducing color, lines and form to a minimum amount in its composition is the main goal of minimalist artists. The most important characteristics of this art movement include; simplicity (where no excessive subject matters are utilized), repetitions (where artists employ repetitive colors and lines in the artworks), geometric shapes (where rectangles and circles are often employed in the painting to convey a sense of simpleness and coherence). Other important characteristics include using very little materials, props and other symbols in the creation of the composition.[5] For example, black and white images are a representation of the minimalist style as color is being reduced to minimize distractions. Minimalism as a concept in arts can be dated back to the 1900s. Influences of minimalism are still employed today in diverse fields such as photography, design, sculpture and architecture.
+
Minimalist photography focuses on simplicity and its artistic style can be encapsulated by the quote, "less is more." Minimalist photographers achieve this effect by casting aside all the unnecessary components in creating their works.[6] This principle is demonstrated in various minimalist photographs, for example, when capturing a mountain or an ocean on camera, the entirety of the scenery will be presented as one big vast space. The vacancy and bareness of the space shown enables the audience to imagine and craft their own version of interpretation and comprehension, instead of including the photographer's own inputs and insights. In order to expand and concentrate on the expansive space, it is crucial to minimize contradicting elements such as people or distracting buildings. Doing so conveys a sense of barrenness and desolation that creates a theatrical atmosphere and visual experience. Therefore, a minimalist photograph is often captured early in the morning, sunrise or dark at night. This ensures that the scene is not filled with crowds and that the overall composition appears neat and simplified.
+
"As an approach in photography, minimalism or minimalistic photography could be taken by the photographer in all genres. No matter your are a portrait, architecture, landscape etc. photographer, minimalist photos are always an option as long as you have a minimal look toward your surroundings" -Milad Safabakhsh, Founder of Minimalist Photography Awards.[7]
+
Minimalist photography often pays attention to one single subject in its composition, using nature as its background. Some representative subject matters include geometric patterns, lines and textures, which can range between an apple, a mountain or a bridge, to name a few examples. Although this style of photography is derived from the art movement in the early 1950s, its impact is exhibited in various forms of digital photography.

Diadenosine tetraphosphate or Ap4A is a putative alarmone, ubiquitous in nature being common to everything from bacteria to humans. It is made up of two adenosines joined together by a 5′-5′ linked chain of four phosphates. Adenosine polyphosphates are capable of inducing multiple physiological effects.[1]
+
Ap4A can be created by a non-canonical activity of the Lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS). This function of LysRS is activated by the phosphorylation of LysRS on serine 207, its subsequent dissociation from the multi-synthetase complex (MSC).[2] The molecule's role as a second messenger has recently been discovered in The LysRS-Ap4A-MITF signaling pathway.[3] Ap4A binds to the MITF-HINT1 inhibitory complex, specifically to the molecule histidine triad nucleotide–binding protein 1(HINT1), releasing the Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and causing an increase in the transcription of its target genes.[4] Ap4A also positively regulates the activity of the transcription factor USF2 through a similar molecular mechanism to that of MITF.[5]
+
It has also been shown, that Ap4A plays a role in the functionality of dendritic cells (DCs). An increase in the intracellular amount Improves their motility and antigen presenting ability through alterations in small GTPases present in the cells. This was discovered by creating mice deficient in the enzyme NUDT2, which serves as an Ap4A hydrolase and thus controls the levels of Ap4A in the cell.[6] Ap4A, however, has also been shown to cause apoptosis in several cell lines through an unknown mechanism, the degradation of Ap4A was necessary for the process as hydrolysis‐resistant analogues of the molecule showed no apoptotic activity.[7]
+
In E. Coli, Ap4A has been shown to function as an alarmone, as the intracellular concentrantion of the molecule increases upon heat stress.[8] Ap4A can also be incorporated into RNA as a 5' Cap along with other dinucleoside polyphosphates. It serves as a substrate for the RNA polymerase and the intracellular levels of these capped RNAs increase upon stress, suggesting that the cap adds a level of stability to the RNA.[9]
+
Myxococcus xanthus is a type of Gram-negative bacteria, and M. xanthus lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysS) is an enzyme from the bacteria that synthesizes diadenosine tetraphosphates (Ap4A) when adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is present. Diadenosine pentaphosphate (Ap5A) is synthesized from Ap4A with ATP.[10]

The 1969–70 Football League Cup was the tenth season of the Football League Cup, a knockout competition for England's top 92 football clubs. The competition started on 12 August 1969 and ended with the final on 7 March 1970.
+
The final was contested by First Division team Manchester City and First Division side West Bromwich Albion at Wembley Stadium in London. Jeff Astle opened the scoring for Albion after five minutes, becoming the first player to score in the final of both the League Cup and FA Cup at Wembley. He had already scored in the first leg of the 1966 League Cup Final four years previously at West Ham United's Boleyn Ground. City equalised through Mike Doyle to send the game into extra-time, and eventually won 2–1, with Glyn Pardoe scoring the winner.
+
This was the first season in which all ninety-two football league clubs competed in the tournament.

Oryx Quest was the name of the first round-the-world yacht race to start and finish in the Middle East[1] and was held in February 2005 in Qatar.[2]
+
The race, organised by British sailor Tracy Edwards, was regarded as a follow-up to The Race of 2000 and was designed to complement existing Multihull races. It was hoped that the size of the prize and the potential speed of the participating boats would make it the most-exciting round-the-world race to date. Record prize money of $1 million was offered by Qatar Sports International which was headed by Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Heir Apparent of Qatar, which hoped to gain publicity as a tourism destination. The prize money however, along with the £6 million sponsorship was never paid by Qatar Sports International.
+
On 5 February four multihulled yachts began the route, off Doha.
+
Cheyenne, catamaran, formerly PlayStation, (holder of the world record for circumnavigations at the time of the start of Oryx Quest), skippered by David Scully.
Geronimo was the first elimination on 2 March, as a result of hull damage following a collision with flotsam. de Kersauson returned to Australia to have the boat repaired, and to break the record for the circumnavigation of the continent in July. A week later the mast of Cheyenne broke just after the boat had rounded Cape Horn. With two remaining boats, Doha 2006 won the race, finishing with an overall time of 62 days, 21 hours and 1 minute. The more-than-20-year-old Daedalus crossed the finishing line some 13 days later.
+
Media coverage in the Middle East, Far East and Asia (Qatar's key target markets) was valued at $46 million and the weekly race programmes made by APP were seen in 600 million homes, making it the most widely watched race in yachting history. The website including the children's 'Ali the Albatross' education pages received over 20 million hits. Tracy and her team also put together Qatar's first Sports Education Programme to which over 10,000 Qatari school children signed up.
+
HSBC paid £3 million towards the event and Edwards personally borrowed £8 million to pay suppliers, her team and each of the competitors was paid between $1 million and $2 million each to enter (the first time a yacht race has managed to do this). However, Qatar Sports International reneged on the £6 million sponsorship deal and $1 million prize money and Edwards was consequently forced into bankruptcy and lost her home. She was discharged in September 2005. Edwards' legal team in Qatar won the first stage of her legal action in Qatar on 31 January 2006. Legal action to recover monies owed to Quest, its suppliers and Edwards herself is still ongoing.
+
Organiser Edwards was criticised by Bruno Peyron for splitting the field of potential participants by insisting on her own event, so that as a result Peyron was not able to recruit enough participants for his own event: a second edition of The Race. He won the 2005 Jules Verne Trophy instead, improving the record for circumnavigation which had previously been held by Cheyenne.

The Costa Rican seasonal moist forestsecoregion (WWF ID: NT0119) covers the Pacific Slope of the volcanic mountain range of northwestern Costa Rica and the extreme south of Nicaragua. The area has a distinct dry season during which the characteristic deciduous trees drop their leaves. The forests themselves have been highly degraded in the past by human conversion to agriculture and settlement. The Costa Rican capital city of San Jose is in the middle of this ecoregion.[1][2][3][4]
+
The northern mountain range in Costa Rica, the Cordillera de Guanacaste, stretches for 110 km from the border with Nicaragua southeast to Costa Rica's Cordillera Central (Costa Rica). As the range occurs where the Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate there are many stratovolcancos in the Cordillera de Guancaste. The mean elevation in the ecoregion is 580 metres (1,900 ft); the highest point is 580 metres (1,900 ft).[3] The ecoregion to the east at higher elevations is the Talamancan montane forests ecoregion. At lower elevations to the west the bordering ecoregion is the Central American dry forests region.
+
The climate of the ecoregion is Tropical monsoon climate (Köppen climate classification(Am)). This climate is characterized by relatively even temperatures throughout the year (all months being greater than 18 °C (64 °F) average temperature), and a pronounced dry season. The driest month has less than 60 mm of precipitation, but more than (100-(average/25) mm. This climate is mid-way between a tropical rainforest and a tropical savannah.[5][6] Precipitation averages 1,500 mm/year, falling mostly in the 'wet season' of April to October.[1]
+
About one-third of the ecoregion is closed broadleaf evergreen forest, one third is open forest of various types, and one-third of the territory has been converted to agriculture.[3] Because the ecoregion is in the rain shadow of the mountains, there is a distinct dry season (December through March). The plants of the region have accordingly developed adaptations for coping with the dry season, such the deciduous trees dropping their leaves in winter.
+
Animal life in the ecoregion is linked to the wetter regions to the east and higher elevations. Taking advantage of the seasonal dryness, many invertebrates and birds migrate into the drier forests for breeding and for taking advantage of the differing food availability cycle.[1]
+
IN the past 100 years, humans have cleared most of the area for agriculture, only perhaps 10% of the forest remains in its original state. Lower elevations have been cleared for cattle raising, higher elevations for coffee, corn, beans, and dairy cattle.[1]

Welsh is located along State Route 143, near the Welsh Farm, and is named after the Welsh family that settled in the area. Rev. TA Welsh moved to Meigs County in the mid-1840s. He came to serve as pastor of the Alexander Presbyterian Church, and later was an integral part of establishing the Harrisonville Presbyterian Church, where some of his descendants still attend. During his life, TA served in the Ohio State House of Representatives and Ohio State Senate. His home also served as a stop on the Underground Railroad.

Frederic Bronson Winthrop (December 22, 1863 – July 14, 1944)[1] was an American philanthropist and lawyer with Winthrop & Stimson who was prominent in New York society during the Gilded Age.
+
Winthrop was born on December 22, 1863 in Paris, France where his family was living during the U.S. Civil War. His parents were Egerton Leigh Winthrop[2] and Charlotte Troup (née Bronson) Winthrop.[3][4] He had two older siblings,[5][6] Egerton Leigh Winthrop, Jr., a lawyer and banker in New York,[7][8] and Charlotte Bronson Winthrop.[9] His father, also a prominent lawyer, was a former president of the Knickerbocker Club.[2]
+
In 1892, Winthrop, along with his father and several members of his mother's family, was included in Ward McAllister's "Four Hundred", purported to be an index of New York's best families, published in The New York Times.[17][18] Conveniently, 400 was the number of people that could fit into Mrs. Astor's ballroom.[19]
+
After his father's death, he inherited a one third portion of his estate, along with his brother and deceased sister's only child.[20] He received his father's New York home and Newport cottage with his brother as tenants in common.[20]
+
Winthrop, who did not marry, died at his home on Long Island on July 14, 1944.[1] He had a townhouse in New York City at 39 East 72nd Street. Winthrop's first summer home in Muttontown, New York (within the Town of Oyster Bay), now known as Nassau Hall, was designed by Delano & Aldrich around 1904.[21] He had the firm build him another home next door, a 12,000 square foot mansion, in 1911.[22] The 168 acre estate was purchased by Landsdell Christie, who sold the property to Nassau County in 1968.[23] The 1904 home is today called Nassau Hall and houses the Nassau County Museum's administrative offices.[23]

"Tina’s Groove chronicled the personal and workplace adventures of a single, smart, attractive waitress who worked at Pepper’s restaurant. Shrewdly self-aware, Tina refuted clichéd notions of single women as neurotics obsessed with career or marriage. Tina found her groove and empowered herself by embracing life and everyone she met head-on."[4]
+
+
Tina works as a waitress at Pepper's Restaurant and is "happy being Tina", living life rather than waiting for it to begin. She is described as "smart, funny and real", an everywoman in her 30s who "struggles to deal with her job, dating and the ups and downs of day-to-day living".[1]
+
Gus, Tina's boyfriend, whom she met at a speed dating event in 2012.[5]
+
Suzanne, Tina's best friend and fellow waitress is "always looking for a good time" and enjoys casual relationships with a large number of men.[1]
+
Monica, the hostess at Pepper's,[6] is spacey and oblivious.[1] Maybe she sees things others don't, or maybe she's just crazy.[7] She is hopelessly in love with Rob, although the feeling is not mutual.[8]
+
Carlos the chef is known for his ego[1] and his outdated views on gender and romance.[9]
+
Rob the general manager is shy and reserved, but a bit of a control freak.[1]
+
Other recurring characters include Claud the taxi driver, Tina's mother, Jake the bartender, and various unnamed customers.[1]
+
Piccolo offered her description of the characters on July 4, 2012:
+
+
Tina’s imperfections, if she has any, are of the kind that are quirky, and therefore endearing. This is good for a cartoon character. I believe the main character of a comic strip should be one that’s likable. But does that mean the main character should be flawless? It’s the weaknesses, or fixations, that make characters interesting. The other characters of the strip all have fixations that make them imperfect. Rob, the manager of Pepper’s Restaurant, is a misfit neat/control freak who hasn’t yet realized that it’s now cool to be a geek. Carlos is a sack of testosterone who must prove himself to be the manliest at any cost. Suzanne is a spoiled 30 something flake who has so many weaknesses she’s created a personality out of being less than perfect. And then there’s Monica. If you read the strip then I don’t have to waste my words on Monica. Tina stands apart. One good reason for this is that Tina is what’s known in the comedy world as the “Straight Man”. She’s the only sane character in a world of insanity. In the strip she represents logic, the voice of reason, while every one else is crazy. This is where most of the humor comes from.[10]
+
Readers have wondered if Tina is depressed or deeply worried about something, but Piccolo explains that this impression is mistaken and may be an inadvertent effect of Tina's hairstyle, specifically the hair bangs being drawn "at the same angle that you’d use to draw a 'worried eyebrow' expression".
+
+
"Tina’s not depressed — no more than any other person. When I started the strip I didn’t know a lot about her, but I did know what I didn’t want her to be. I didn’t want my main character to be sappy and sickeningly sweet. I wanted to write her as a girl who had real-world traits who just happened to be nice in a normal, non-mushy way... The thing is, I don’t want Tina to be smiling in every situation — that would be sappy."[11]
+
The strip ran in such newspapers as the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Arizona Republic and the Toronto Star, and it is also available through King Features' DailyINK email service.[12]

Comparisons with this Tina's Groove from 2006 show how the art style and characters evolved.

The division's lineage begins with the Brigade "Casale" established on 21 December 1821, which on 25 October 1831 split to form the 1st and 2nd infantry regiments under the brigade's command. On 4 May 1839 the two regiments were re-numbered as 11th and 12th infantry regiments.[4]
+
The brigade fought on the Italian front in World War I. On 28 October 1926 the brigade command was disbanded and the brigade's two regiments were transferred to other brigades: the 11th Infantry Regiment "Casale" to the XVII Infantry Brigade and the 12th Infantry Regiment "Casale" to the XII Infantry Brigade.[5][6]
+
On 24 May 1939 the 12th Infantry Regiment "Casale" in Trieste changed its name to 73rd Infantry Regiment "Lombardia" and joined the newly activated 57th Infantry Division "Lombardia". On the same date a new 12th Infantry Regiment "Casale" was raised in Cesena. On 15 June 1939 the 56th Infantry Division "Casale" was activated in Forlì and received its two namesake infantry regiments and the newly raised 56th Artillery Regiment "Casale".[2]
+
On 14 March 1941 the Casale left Italy for Albania to reinforce the failing Italian Spring Offensive during the Greco-Italian War. The division immediately entered the front in the Shushicë valley. By 20 March 1941 the Casale was assigned to the XXV Army Corps and fought in the Tepelenë area. Contact with retreating Greek forces was lost soon after the start of the Battle of Greece on 6 April 1941, and the Casale engaged in a cautious advance along the Drin river. On 18 April 1941 the Casale encountered a Greek rearguard at Lumi i Kardhiqit, and by 19 April 1941 the division had reached Gjirokastër. On 22 April 1941 the division reached the Greek border near Delvinaki, where it met with German patrols. Afterwards the division was used for mopping-up operations in Greece in the area of Zitsa, Negrades, and Paramythia.[2]
+
While the 56th Infantry Division "Casale" was on occupation duty in Greece the division's regimental depots in Italy raised the 153rd Infantry Division "Macerata": the depot of the 11th Infantry Regiment "Casale" raised the 121st Infantry Regiment "Macerata", the depot of the 12th Infantry Regiment "Casale" raised the 122nd Infantry Regiment "Macerata", and the depot of the 56th Artillery Regiment "Casale" raised the 153rd Artillery Regiment "Macerata".[7]
+
After this task was completed the Casale was moved to the south of the Ambracian Gulf and established garrisons in Agrinio, Amfilochia and Missolonghi. The division performed several anti-partisan raids in Agrinio, Kato Achaia, Chrysovitsa, and other locations. After the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943, parts of the 11th Infantry Regiment joined Greek partisans, while the rest of the division was disbanded by German forces.[2]

Carlie Hanson (born May 18, 2000) is an American singer-songwriter. In 2018, she released the song "Only One", which garnered attention after being featured on a playlist curated by Taylor Swift. She released her debut extended play, Junk, in June 2019. This was followed by her 2020 extended play, DestroyDestroyDestroyDestroy. Her debut album, Tough Boy, was released in February 2022.
+
Hanson was born and raised in Onalaska, Wisconsin. She was inspired to become a singer by Justin Bieber and, at 14, she and a friend began posting cover songs on YouTube, hoping to follow Bieber's path.[4]
+
In May 2016, while working as a cashier at McDonald's, Hanson entered a local iHeartRadio contest to see Zayn in concert.[5] As her entry, she recorded a video of herself singing "Pillowtalk" by Zayn while sitting in a parked car outside a shopping mall. She posted the video to Instagram, and it was quickly reposted by iHeart, drawing significant attention. Hanson was subsequently contacted by a talent agent who invited her to Toronto to audition and record for producers from House of Wolf.[6] While in Los Angeles, she worked with songwriter Dale Anthoni.[4][7] In November 2017, Taylor Swift included Hanson's second single, "Only One", on an Apple Music playlist of her favorite songs.

+
In September 2018, Hanson began touring with Troye Sivan and Kim Petras on Sivan's Bloom Tour, playing at venues including Radio City Music Hall in New York and the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.[10] In a review of the Minneapolis show, Twin Cities Media wrote: "She's badass, she’s unapologetic, she’s poppy yet gritty, she's effortlessly cool, her music absolutely bangs, and she’s selfmade. Carlie Hanson is a little bit of Lorde, a little of Billie Eilish meets Kiiara, and a lot of something all her own."[11][12]
+

The CZ 75 Tactical Sports pistol [1] is a Czech single-action firearm specifically designed for practical shooting competitions. It is the successor of the CZ 75 Standard IPSC model. Though almost identical in external appearance, the TS features some improvements, especially in its trigger mechanism, magazine capacity and durability. It was officially discontinued for production in 2018 by CZ.
+
Originally, the CZ 75 IPSC models were manufactured in versions for two IPSC practical shooting divisions: Modified (the 75 M IPSC) and Standard (the 75 ST IPSC). Currently, there are no CZ models available for Modified Division. Recently CZ introduced the CZ 75 TS Czechmate [2] a competition variant based on the Tactical Sports 9mm model; equipped with a compensator and electronic red dot sight on a frame mount; designed especially for IPSC Open Division.
+
The CZ 75 TS comes in two calibers: .40 S&W (17 cartridges in the magazine) and 9mm (20 cartridges in the magazine). The .40 S&Wcaliber offers a score advantage by considering a higher or “major” caliber (according to the IPSC rules). However, the 9mm model is appealing to shooters who do not reload their ammo and in countries where the law does not allow the use of major calibers, as well as for those who want to take advantage of the low recoil and very high magazine capacity of the 9mm version.
+
CZ Custom has marketed a magazine extender for the .40 S&W version that increases capacity from 17 to 20 cartridges,[3] but with this accessory the pistol is no longer legal in IPSC Standard Division, though it is eligible for USPSA Limited Division.

The three attempt to ambush the Germans, but are all badly wounded. After Curtis's death, Rossi regains consciousness and is approached by Neumann, who Jones spared earlier. Rossi gets up to fight but collapses due to his wounds. Neumann, also wounded, does not kill him, showing him the same mercy that Jones' showed him.

The director of Saints and Soldiers Ryan Little struggled with his producer Adam Abel to create a sequel to the film, because nearly all of his main characters died in the first film.

Vaughn Curtis's book called Letters Home: A Paratrooper's Story, based on the experience and letters of Curtis's father Harland "Bud" Curtis.[4] They also adapted it from Little's short film The Last Good War for which Little won a student Emmy award. Corbin Allred was also cast in this film, but as a different character from the original. The film was shot in Utah on a tight budget and used volunteer World War II reenactors as many of the actors and extras.[1]

The Dungeness River Bridge is the centerpiece of Railroad Bridge Park near the town of Sequim, Washington. It crosses the Dungeness River. The bridge was first constructed by the Seattle, Port Angeles, and Western Railway, a subsidiary of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (also known as the Milwaukee Road) in 1916. Because of the ready availability of timber, the bridge was built of wood. This first bridge was replaced in 1930. The new bridge was also built of timber, and like its predecessor, is a through Howe truss 156 feet long and 22 feet high. Two wooden trestles are on the east and west approaches.[1]
+
After the Milwaukee Road's bankruptcy, the bridge was left abandoned. In 1992, volunteers began to work on the bridge and replace planking and created a bike trail. In 1995, the property surrounding the bridge was purchased by the Washington State Audubon Society, which then created the Dungeness River Center and a park, called Railroad Bridge Park. The bike path through the park and over the bridge is connected to the Olympic Discovery Trail, a rails-to-trails initiative.
+
The bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places due to its being one of the last timber Howe through-truss railroad bridges still remaining in Washington.
+
In February 2015, due to high winds and rainfall, the Bridge's center collapsed. The repaired and improved bridge was reopened in March 2016.[2]

This goes on for the next days. On the 12th day of the gathering, the white bird's wife pours out her heart to an old woman about the mysterious rider.

Charles Fillingham Coxwell [de] translated a Kalmyk variant with the title The Story of the Bird-Cage Husband: an old man lives with his three daughters in the "Land of the Lustrous Flower Gardens", and they spend their days grazing their buffalo. One day, their animal disappears. The elder sisters goes looking for it and reaches a large red portal that leads to a court. She passes by the red portal, then by a gate of mother-of-pearl and finally by a gate of emerald, and finds herself in a grand palace with a little bird sitting on a table. The little bird tells her it can reveal the fate of the buffalo, in exchange for her marrying him. She refuses. The middle sister passes by the same three portals and declines the same offer. The youngest sister agrees to become the bird's wife, and it returns the buffalo to her family. Some time later, an assembly of people gathers as part of a 13 days' visit to a divine image in a monastery. The girl goes to the assembly and sees a fine youth on a blue-gray horse. The girl returns home and tells her little bird husband about the youth. This goes on for 11 days. On the 12th day of the assembly, an old woman tells the girl the youth on the horse is her husband, and that she should toss her husband's bird-cage into the fire. The girl follows the old woman's instructions. Later that night, the husband returns and she tells him about the bird-cage. The husband despairs at the fact and gives his wife a stick, for her to beat herself with it near the gate of mother-of-pearl for seven days and nights until his battle with the demons ceases. The girl obeys and resists for 6 days and nights, until, on the 7th day, she tires and her husband is taken by the demons. The girl searches for her husband, until she hears his voice in a mountain and in the depths of a river. Finding her husband near a pile of stones, he tells her he has become a water-carrier for "gods and demons" and that she can save him by building another bird-cage, then vanishes. Heeding his words, the girl returns to their home, fashions a new bird-cage and "invites her husband's soul" to enter it.[15]

Austrian journalist Adolf Gelber [de] translated the tale as Das Geheimnis des weißen Vogels ("The Secret of the White Bird"). In his translation, the third sister goes through the red gate, the gates of gold, mother-of-pearl and emerald and finds the bird; the girl agrees to be the bird's wife and returns the buffalo to her father. After the girl burns her husband's featherskin, her husband, in human form, tells her that the old woman was a messenger from the gods and devils. After the husband disappears, the old woman comes and advises the girl to keep looking for her husband. At the end of the tale, the girl is risen to the sky and meets her husband there.[16]

TibetologistAugust Hermann Francke, in a 1923 article, reported the existence of Tibetan manuscript from the Bar-bog family from Lahul. The manuscript, titled Ňos-grub-can-gyi-sgruns, contained 13 tales, the seventh named Bya-shubs-rgyal-po (German: der König in Vogelgestalt; English: "The King in Bird-form").[18]

In a variant translated as "Царевич в птичьей оболочке" ("The Prince in Bird Skin") or The Feathered Prince,[21] three orphaned sisters live together and earn their living by milking their female buffalo and selling its milk and butter. One day, the animal disappears, and the elder sister goes looking for it. After a while, she sits by a rock near a cave. A little bird appears to her and begs for some food, and asks her to marry it. The elder sister refuses and returns home. The next day, the middle sister goes to look for the animal and rests by the same stone, and the same white bird propositions her, but she declines. Lastly, the youngest sister agrees to marry the white bird, and he directs her into the cave. Inside, magnificent and richly decorated rooms appear before her with every door she opens. At last, the little bird perches upon a couch and tells her that their buffalo was devoured by an evil raksha. The girl begins to live there as the white bird's wife, tidying the place and preparing the food. Some time later, a festival is held in a nearby village, with musicians, equestrian games, and all sorts of amusement. The white bird's wife goes to the festival, and sees a handsome youth on a gray horse, who gazes at her. The girl leaves the festival and meets an old woman. The girl pours out her woes to her, lamenting over the fact that her husband is just a little bird, but the old woman reassures her that the youth at the festival was her husband, and that she only has to burn his bird disguise the next time. The girl follows the old woman's instructions the next day, and burns the bird skin. The same night, her husband (in human form) comes home and asks her about the bird skin. The girl tells him she burned the birdskin, and the man reveals he is a prince, and that the birdskin was to protect him from an evil witch. Saying this, a whirlwind comes and takes the prince. The girl tries to find him and wanders through valleys and deserts, until she finds him one day near a temple, carrying jugs of water and wearing faded boots. The prince tells her to get feathers from all species of bird for a new bird coat, and, once she has fashioned it, she must chant a special prayer for him to return to her. Saying his, he disappears. The girl returns to their cave palace and gathers all feathers she can must, fashions a new bird skin and chants the correct chant to summon her husband back to her. He appears and both live happily.[22]
+
In a variant published by TibetologistDavid MacDonald with the title The Story of the Bird who turned into a Prince, in the land of Mo-tshul, a old farmer lives with his three daughters; the three sisters pass by a red door, a gold door and a turquoise door and meet the bird on a throne; the youngest sister marries the bird and burns his feathered cloak; she does penance to try to save her husband by standing at a door and turning a "devil-stick" or "devil-rod"; after her husband vanishes, she finds him in the summit of a hill, and he explains he must wear out a pair of boots by traveling at the behest of the devils. She saves her husband by fashioning a new feathered cloak and by saying fervent prayers, until he appears at their door.[23]

Transylvania linguist Heinrich von Wlislocki collected a Romani tale from Siebenbürgen (Transylvania), which he considered to be related to the tale from the Siddi-Kur. In the Romani tale, titled O coro rom te pinsteri or Der arme Zigeuner und die Taube ("The Poor Gypsy Man and the Dove"), a father lives with his three sons who work for a local lord, the eldest grazes the horses, the middle one the cattle and the youngest the pigs. When the horses vanish one day, the eldest tries to find them and passes through a set of doors: a wooden one, an iron one, a silver one, then a golden one, and sees a white dove on a table. The dove talks to him and says it can find the horse if the boy marries her. He declines, telling her that he already has a sweetheart. The same thing happens to the middle brother. When the youngest brother meets the white dove, the boy agrees to marry her. He begins to live with the dove, eating the best food and drinking the best drinks, until he gets bored and wishes to see human people again. The dove tells him that the king will be part of a three day festival in the plains, and he can go there to have fun. The boy finds some money and buys finer clothes to join the people at the festival. When night comes, a young woman clad in golden clothes appears and enjoys the festivities. After the boy returns to the dove, he tells the bird about the maiden at the festival. The next day, the boy sits on a rock by the stream and sighs over the golden maiden. A frog tells him that the golden maiden is the white dove, changed into an animal by an evil sorcerer, and that he can burn her dove feathers when she goes to the festival. That night, the boy waits for his wife to go to the festival and burns the dove feathers. He breaks the enchantment and lives happily with his wife.[26]
+
The tale has been related by scholarship to the international tale type ATU 425, "The Search for the Lost Husband", of the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index.[27][28] These tales refer to a marriage between a human woman and a husband of supernatural origin that appears in animal shape. Sometimes the human wife tries to break the enchantment by destroying the husband's animal skin, but he vanishes and she must undergo a penance to get her husband back.[29]

The Cairo Gang was a group of British intelligence agents who were sent to Dublin during the Irish War of Independence to conduct intelligence operations against prominent members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) with, according to Irish intelligence, the intention of assassinating them. Twelve men, including British Army officers, Royal Irish Constabulary officers and a civilian informant, were killed on the morning of 21 November 1920 by the Irish Republican Army, in a planned series of simultaneous early-morning strikes engineered by Michael Collins. The events were the first killings of Bloody Sunday.
+
Tim Pat Coogan's biography of Michael Collins asserts that the "nom de guerre" of the British unit derived from a common history of service in the Middle East,[1] but that is disputed by some Irish historians, such as Conor Cruise O'Brien, and it has been suggested that they received the name because they often held meetings at Cafe Cairo, at 59 Grafton Street in Dublin. Earlier books on the 1919–1923 period do not refer to the Cairo Gang by that name.
+
By 1920, the IRA's Dublin headquarters, under the direction of Michael Collins, had, through targeted assassination and intelligence penetration, effectively eliminated the G Division of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, previously the mainstay of the Crown's intelligence operations against Irish Republicans. In response, the Dublin Castle administration, at that time the headquarters of the British government in Ireland, were forced to look for external intelligence support.
+
In January 1920, the British Army Intelligence Centre in Ireland formed a special plain-clothes unit of 18 to 20 demobilised ex-army officers, and some officers still on active duty, to conduct clandestine operations against the IRA. The officers received training in London, most likely under the supervision of Special Branch, which had been part of Britain's Directorate of Home Intelligence since February 1919. They may also have received some training from MI5 officers and former officers working for Special Branch. Army Centre in Dublin hoped these officers could eventually be divided up and deployed to the provinces to support its 5th and 6th Division intelligence staff, but it decided to keep the unit in Dublin, at the Dublin District Division, commanded by General Gerald Boyd. It was known officially as the Dublin District Special Branch (DDSB) and also as "D Branch". In May 1920, Lieutenant Colonel Walter Wilson arrived in Dublin to take command of D Branch.
+
Following the events of Bloody Sunday, 21 November 1920, when twelve D Branch officers were assassinated by the Irish Republican Army under the command of Michael Collins, D Branch was transferred to the command of Brigadier-General Sir Ormonde Winter in January 1921. Winter had been placed in charge of a new police intelligence unit, the Combined Intelligence Service, in May 1920, and his charter was to set up a central intelligence clearing house to more effectively collate and coordinate army and police intelligence. Those members of D Branch who survived Bloody Sunday were very unhappy to be transferred from army command to CIS command and, for the next six months, until the Truce of July 1921, D Branch continued to maintain regular contact with Army Intelligence Centre while undertaking missions for Winter's CIS.[2][3][4]

A photo purportedly of the Cairo Gang, but more probably the Igoe Gang
+
The famous photograph, that is purported to show members of the Cairo Gang, is lodged in the National Library of Ireland photographic archive Piaras Béaslaí collection (five copies). An inscription describes the men as "the special gang F company Auxiliaries". The men in the photo are numbered, but there are no names or details on the back of the photos. Three other photos in the collection show Auxiliaries posing on vehicles in the grounds of Dublin Castle. Those three photos are similarly numbered.
+
The IRA Intelligence Department (IRAID) was receiving information from numerous well-placed sources, including Lily Mernin, who was the confidential code clerk for British Army Intelligence Centre in Parkgate Street, and Sergeant Jerry Mannix, stationed in Donnybrook. Mannix provided the IRAID with a list of names and addresses of all the members of the Cairo Gang. In addition, Michael Collins' case officers on the intelligence staff — Liam Tobin, Tom Cullen and Frank Thornton — were meeting with several D Branch officers nightly, pretending to be informers. Another IRA penetration source, participating in the nightly repartee with the D Branch men at Cafe Cairo, Rabiatti's Saloon, and Kidds Back Pub, was Detective Constable David Neligan, one of people Michael Collins had organised to penetrate G-Division, the secret detectives of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. Additionally, the IRA had co-opted most of the Irish servants who worked in the rooming houses where the D Branch officers lived, and all of their comings and goings were meticulously recorded by servants and reported to Collins' staff.
+
All the members of the Gang were kept under surveillance for several weeks, and intelligence was gathered from sympathisers, for example, who was coming home at strange hours, thereby indicating that they were being allowed through the militarycurfew. The IRA Dublin Brigade and the IRAID then pooled their resources and intelligence to draw up their own hit list of suspected Gang members, and set the date for the assassinations to be carried out as 21 November 1920, at 9:00 am.
+
The operation was planned by several senior IRA members, including Michael Collins, Dick McKee, Liam Tobin, Peadar Clancy, Tom Cullen, Frank Thornton and Oscar Traynor. The killings were planned to coincide with a Gaelic football match between Dublin and Tipperary, because the large crowds around Dublin would allow the members of Collins' Squad to move about more easily, and make it more difficult for the British to detect them before and after they carried out the assassinations.
+
Clancy and McKee were picked up by Crown forces on the evening of Saturday, 20 November. They were tortured and later shot dead "while trying to escape". Tortured and killed with them was Conor Clune, the nephew of Archbishop Clune of Perth, who had been senior chaplain to the Catholic members of the Australian Imperial Force in World War I.[5] Clune was manager of the seed and plant nursery owned by Edward MacLysaght near Quin, and Clune and MacLysaght travelled to Dublin on the morning of Saturday, 20 November 1920, bringing with him the books of the Raheen Co-op for its annual audit. Clune was arrested in a raid on Vaughan's Hotel in Dublin, where he was a registered guest.
+
The operation began at 9:00 am, when members of the Squad entered 28 Pembroke Street. The first British agents to die were Major Charles Milne Cholmeley Dowling[6] and Captain Leonard Price.[7]Andy Cooney of the Dublin Brigade removed documents from their rooms.
+
Three more members of the Gang were shot in the same house: Captain Brian Christopher Headlam Keenlyside, Colonel Wilfrid Woodcock, and Lieutenant-Colonel Hugh Montgomery. Woodcock was not connected with intelligence and had walked into a confrontation on the first floor of the Pembroke Street house as he was preparing to leave to command a regimental parade at army headquarters. He was in his military uniform and, when he shouted to warn the other five British officers living in the house, he was shot in the shoulder and back, but survived. As Keenlyside was about to be shot, a struggle ensued between his wife and Mick O'Hanlon. The leader of the unit, Mick Flanagan, arrived, pushed Mrs Keenlyside out of the way and shot her husband.
+
At 117 Morehampton Road, Donnybrook, 2.3 km from the scene of the first shootings, another member of the Cairo Gang, Lieutenant Donald Lewis MacLean,[8] along with suspected informer T.H. Smith and MacLean's brother-in-law, John Caldow, were taken into the hallway and about to be shot, when MacLean asked that they not be shot in front of his wife. The three were taken to an unused bedroom and shot. Caldow survived his wounds and fled to his home in Scotland.
+
Just 800 metres away, at 92 Lower Baggot Street, another Gang member, Captain William Frederick Newberry,[9] and his wife, heard their front door come crashing down and blockaded themselves into their bedroom. Newberry rushed for his window to try to escape but was shot while climbing out by Bill Stapleton and Joe Leonard, after they finally broke the door down.
+
Two key members of the Gang, Lieutenant Peter Ashmun Ames[10] and Captain George Bennett,[11] were made to stand facing the wall on a bed in a downstairs rear bedroom and shot by Vinny Byrne and others in his squad. A maid had let the attackers into 38 Upper Mount Street and indicated, at gunpoint, the rooms occupied by the two targeted men. Despite many accounts to the contrary, Byrne was not involved in the killings in Morehampton Road that morning.
+
Sergeant John J Fitzgerald,[12] of the Royal Irish Constabulary, also known as "Captain Fitzgerald" or "Captain Fitzpatrick", whose father was from County Tipperary, was killed a kilometre away at 28 Earlsfort Terrace. He had survived a previous assassination attempt when a bullet grazed his head. This time he was shot twice in the head. The documents found in his house detailed the movements of senior IRA members.
+
An IRA unit led by Tom Keogh entered 22 Lower Mount Street to kill Lieutenant Henry Angliss, alias Patrick Mahon,[13] and Lieutenant Charles Ratsch Peel. The two intelligence specialists in the Gang, Angliss and Peel, had been recalled from Russia to organise British intelligence operations in the South Dublin area. Angliss had survived a previous assassination attempt when he had been shot at in a billiard hall. He was targeted for killing Sinn Féin fundraiser John Lynch, mistaken for General Liam Lynch, Divisional Commandant of the 1st Southern Division, IRA. Angliss was shot as he reached for his gun.
+
Peel, hearing the shots, managed to block his bedroom door and survived even though more than a dozen bullets were fired into his room. When members of Fianna Éireann, who were on lookout, reported that the Auxiliary Division were approaching the house, the unit of eleven men split up into two groups, the first leaving by the front door, the second through the laneway at the back of the house.
+
At 119 Baggot Street, a three-man unit killed Captain Geoffrey Thomas Baggallay,[14] a barrister who had been employed as a prosecutor under the Restoration of Order in Ireland Act 1920 regulations,[15] and who had been a member of military courts that sentenced IRA volunteers to death.
+
Captain Patrick McCormack and Lieutenant Leonard Wilde were in the Gresham Hotel in O'Connell Street. The IRA unit gained access to their rooms by pretending to be British soldiers with important dispatches. When the men opened their doors they were shot and killed. A listing in The Times for McCormack and Wilde does not indicate any rank for the latter — in fact he was a discharged army officer who had been a British consul in Spain.[16] McCormack's killing was a mistake. He was a member of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps and was in Ireland to buy horses for the British Army. He was shot in bed and Collins himself later acknowledged the error. Unlike the other British officers, McCormack, a Catholic from Castlebar,[17] was buried in Ireland, at Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin.[18]
+
Captain John Scott Crawford, in charge of motor repair of the British Army Service Corps, narrowly escaped death after the IRA entered a guesthouse in Fitzwilliam Square where he was staying, looking for a Major Callaghan. On not finding their target, they debated whether or not to shoot Crawford. They decided not to shoot him because he was not on their list. Instead, they gave him 24 hours to leave Ireland, although the major left Ireland in no hurry despite that close call.
+
In the Eastwood Hotel at 91 Lower Leeson Street, the IRA failed to find their target, Captain Thomas Jennings. Other targets who escaped were Captain Jocelyn Hardy[19] and Major William Lorraine King, a colleague of Hardy who was missing when Joe Dolan burst into King's room. According to the prim Todd Andrews, Dolan took revenge by giving King's half-naked mistress "a right scourging with a sword scabbard", and setting fire to the room afterwards.[20]
+
Major Frank Murray Maxwell Hallowell Carew, an intelligence officer who, with Captain Price, had almost cornered 3rd Tipperary Brigade commander Seán Treacy a month before, was on the list. (Treacy had been killed by G men as he tried to shoot his way out of a trap on 14 October, a week before the day of the Cairo Gang assassinations.)
+
When the IRA came calling for Murray, he had moved to an apartment across the street. He heard the gunfire at his former lodging and fired his revolver at an IRA sentry outside. The sentry was hit and took cover inside the house. The Volunteers moved on.
+
Several IRA men carried sledgehammers with them the morning of 21 November, because they expected to encounter bolted doors. They did not find any, but T. Ryle Dwyer claims that they used them to smash the skulls and faces of some of the officers they had shot.[21]
+
Two members of the Auxiliary Cadet Division, Temporary Cadets Frank Garniss, aged 34,[22] and Cecil Augustus Morris, aged 24,[23] were among a patrol of Auxiliaries who responded to the scene of one of the attacks, armed with .45 calibre Webley revolvers and a carbine. Garniss and Morris were shot and killed as they sought to cordon off the rear of one of the scenes of assassination.[24][25]
+
A listing in The Times of killed and wounded notes that, in addition to Caldow, Captain Brian Keenlyside, Colonel Hugh Montgomery, Major (Wilfrid) Woodcock, and Lieutenant Randolph Murray were wounded, but not killed. On 10 December 1920, Montgomery died of the wounds he received on Bloody Sunday.[26]
+
Nineteen men were shot. Fourteen were killed on 21 November and Montgomery died later, making fifteen in all. Five were wounded (including King's mistress). Ames, Angliss, Baggallay, Bennet, Dowling, Fitzgerald, McCormack, MacLean, Montgomery, Newberry, Price, Wilde, Smith, Morris and Garniss were killed. Keenlyside, Woodcock, Murray and Caldow were wounded. Peel and others escaped. The dead included members of the "Cairo Gang", British Army Courts-Martial officers, the two Auxiliaries and a civilian informant.
+
Of the IRA men involved, only Frank Teeling was captured during the operation. He was court-martialled and sentenced to hang, but escaped from Kilmainham Gaol before the sentence could be carried out, although he was later tried for shooting a member of the National Army, and convicted for killing a man for bringing a bag of tomatoes into the bar at the Theatre Royal, Dublin.[27]Patrick Moran and Thomas Whelan were arrested later and, despite their protestations of innocence, and 19 false witnesses attesting to alibis,[28] were convicted. and hanged for murder on 14 March 1921.
+
The remaining Cairo Gang members, along with many other spies, fled to either Dublin Castle or England, fearing they were next on the IRA's hit list. Another member committed suicide in Dublin Castle. The deaths and flights dealt a severe blow to British intelligence gathering in Ireland.
+
Eventually another group of intelligence operatives, known officially as the Identification Branch of the Combined Intelligence Service (CIS), took the fight to the IRA. The group was known informally as The Igoe Gang, named after its leader Head Constable Eugene Igoe, who was from County Mayo. Igoe reported to Colonel Ormonde Winter.
+
The Igoe Gang consisted of RIC personnel drawn from different parts of Ireland who patrolled the streets of Dublin in plain clothes, looking for wanted men.[29] The Igoe Gang posed a serious threat to Collins' apparatus and even caught a Volunteer whom Collins had brought to Dublin to identify Igoe.[30] The Gang was never penetrated by the IRA. Igoe later conducted secret service operations for Special Branch over many years in other countries, but never returned to his farm in Mayo out of fear of reprisal. Brigadier General Winter appeared on Igoe's behalf to obtain an increase in his pension in view of his many services to the Crown in Ireland and elsewhere.[31]

The Ahmednagar Fort (Ahmadnagar Qilaa) is a fort located near to the Bhingar Nala near Ahmednagar in[1]Maharashtra. It was the headquarters of the Ahmednagar Sultanate. In 1803, it was taken by the British during the Second Anglo-Maratha War. It was used as a prison during the British Raj. Currently, the fort is under the administration of the Armoured Corps of the Indian Army.
+
In 1803 the Ahmednagar Fort was round in appearance, with twenty-four bastions, one large gate, and three small sally ports. It had a glacis, no covered way; a ditch, revetted with stone on both sides, about 18 feet (5.5 m) wide, with 9 feet (2.7 m) water all around, which only reached within 6 or 7 feet (2.1 m) of the top of the scarp; long reeds grew in it all around. The berm was only about one yard wide. The rampart was of black hewn stone; the parapet of brick in chunam, and both together appeared from the crest of the glacis to be only as high as the pole of a field-officer's tent. The bastions were all about 4+1⁄2 feet higher; they were round. One of them mounted eight guns en barbet, pointing eastward; all the rest had jingies,[check spelling] four in each. In 1803 two guns were visible in each bastion, and 200 were said to be ready in the fort to be mounted.[2]
+
A gunshot to the west of the fort was the Pettah of Ahmednagar. The main gate of the fort faced the pettah, and was defended by a small half-circular work, with one traverse and several little towers for men. There was a wooden bridge over the ditch, which could be taken away in time of war, but it was not a drawbridge. It was reported that an iron trough as large as the bridge, could be placed upon it, or on the supporters of it, and fill with charcoal or other combustibles, to which could be ignited as an enemy approached.[2] The fort is also called as Bhuikot Killa which means it is a land fort and is not constructed on any hill.[3] It should not be confused with other Bhuikot Killas in Maharashtra like Solapur Bhuikot Killa.
+
A small river came from the northward, round the west side of the pettah, and passed to the southward of the fort. A nullah also passed from the northward, between the fort and a town called Bhingar, about a gunshot to the eastward, and joined the river. A potential defensive weakness was a little hill or rising ground close to and east of Bhingar, from which shot from siege guns could reach the fort.[2]
+
Two nills or covered aqueducts came from the hills, a mile or more to the north, passed through and supplied the pettah and the town, and then went into the fort, either under or through the ditch, into which the wastewater fell.[2]
+
There were no passages across the ditch from the sally ports, and no part of the aqueducts appeared above the ditch. The nullah mentioned above had steep banks and passed within 60 yards of the fort; the aqueduct from Bhingar passed under it. There was no bridge or even a prominent crossing point at the nullah and hence no clearly defined route between the fort and the town of Bhingar.[2]
+
There were many small pagodas and mosques around the pettah and the fort, but none exactly between, or between the fort and Bhingar, or nearer to the fort than those towns.[2]
+
The fort was built by Malik Ahmad Nizam Shah I (after whom the city of Ahmednagar is named) in 1427.[4] He was the first sultan of the Nizam Shahi dynasty and he built the fort to defend the city against invaders from neighbouring Idar.[4] Initially it was made of mud but major fortification began in 1559 under Hussain Nizam Shah. It took four years and was finally finished in 1562.[5] In February 1596, Chand Bibi the queen regent successfully repulsed the Mughal invasion but when Akbar attacked again in 1600 the fort went to the Mughals.[5][6][7][8]
+
Aurangzeb died at Ahmednagar fort at the age of 88 on 20 February 1707. After Aurangzeb's death, the fort passed to the Nizams in 1724, to Marathas in 1759 and later the Scindias in 1790. During the period of instability in the Maratha Empire following the death of Madhavrao II, Daulat Scindia had the fort and its surrounding region ceded to him. In 1797, he imprisoned Nana Phadanvis the Peshwa diplomat at Ahmednagar fort.[9]
+
During the same time, Odisha's first Chief-Minister and ex-Governor of undivided Bombay State, Harekrushna Mahatab also compiled three volumes of History of Odisha in Odia. This has later been translated and published in English and Hindi.
+
Currently, the fort is under the administration of the Armoured Corps of the Indian Army.[11]

This plant is a low, rounded shrub with a gnarled trunk emerging from the sand and branching densely to form a mound up to two meters tall. The zig-zagging, angled, sharp-tipped branches are sometimes buried in sand and emerge covered in lichens. The gray bark cracks, revealing new reddish brown bark beneath. The alternately arranged leaves have smooth blades 1 to 3 centimeters long with wavy or toothed edges. Blooming occurs before the leaves appear. The flowers are usually solitary. They have five red sepals and five white petals a few millimeters long. There are many stamens at the center, each with a yellow anther. The species is andromonoecious, with individuals bearing both bisexual and male-only flowers.[3][4] The fruit is a bitter-tasting, egg-shaped drupe up to 2.5 centimeters long.[5] The drupe is reddish purple in color.[3]
+
The plant may be solitary or it may grow colonially. Little is known about the plant's life history.[5][3]
+
As of 2008 there were 83 populations counted, but 39 of these contained fewer than 10 plants each. Most populations are on the Lake Wales Ridge, and a few are on adjacent ridges. Half the populations are on private land, but most of the large populations are in protected or managed areas.[7]
+
The plant's native habitat is maintained by periodic wildfire. The natural fire regime in the area produces openings in the vegetation, removing woody, overgrown plants in the canopy and creating gaps where the smaller plants can receive sun. This shrub cannot tolerate shade and it thrives when fire clears the vegetation around it.[5] It resprouts from its fibrous root system after its aboveground part burns.[3] Flowering increases in the seasons after a fire, then decreases the longer the area goes unburned.[4] The plant is long-lived, has low mortality, and can survive many years without fire. However, fire suppression is the major threat to the survival of the species.[7] Due to the loss of its habitat, the plant is federally listed as an endangered species of the U.S.[6]
+
Another threat to the species is the outright loss of its habitat in the conversion to residential and agricultural properties, including citrus groves.[5] The plant's own biology may contribute to its rarity: germination rates are low and many of the developing fruits are lost before they mature, either to abortion or predation.[4] The species then experiences low recruitment, with few seedlings joining the population.[7]

On October 7, 2014, it was announced that the Central Hockey League had folded and had joined the ECHL, nullifying Unice's Central Hockey League contract with the team.[6][7] On October 9, 2014, Unice re-signed with the Mavericks under an ECHL contract.[8] That same day, he was traded by the Mavericks to the Rapid City Rush of the ECHL for undisclosed considerations.[8][9][10]
+
On October 15, 2014, Unice was released by the Rush.[11]
+
24 January 2015, Unice signed with Elite Ice Hockey League side Sheffield Steelers on a short term contract to cover the injured first-choice netminder Frank Doyle.[12] Josh slotted into the first team well at the Steelers and finished the season by winning the league with the best save percentage out of any goaltender in the EIHL.[2] Following his success with the Steelers in April 2015 retiring goaltender Frank Doyle made a public statement endorsing Unice by saying he felt Josh would be the ideal replacement for him at the Steelers for the next EIHL season.[13]
+
1 May 2015, Josh Unice signed with the CBR Brave and became the club's starting goaltender.[14] Unice is the first NHL drafted player to play for the Brave. Josh made his CBR Brave debut between the pipes in round one of the 2015 AIHL season as the Brave beat the Sydney Bears 4-2 in front of a sold-out crowd at Phillip Ice Centre.[14][15]
+
14 July 2015, Josh Unice was named CBR Brave interim Head Coach for the last seven games of the 2015 AIHL regular season and any finals matches. Josh was installed Head Coach after being approached by Brave Chairman Peter Chamberlain following the mutual separation between the club and former Head Coach Brad Hunt. Joining Josh in the coaching department as Josh's right-hand man is veteran Brave defenceman and alternative captain Aaron Clayworth who has taken the assistant coaching position.[16]
+
On 9 March 2016, Josh Unice was named as the permanent 2016 CBR Brave head coach for the 2016 AIHL season. Josh was once again joined by experienced assistant coach Dave Rogina and strength and conditioning trainer Stuart Philps.[17]

Haïti Trans Air began operations in 1987 with a single Boeing 727-247 with flights mainly to Miami. A second Boeing 727 was received in 1988 configured in a combi layout. The airline expanded operations to include San Juan and Kingston, Jamaica. In December 1990 a Boeing 737-222 was added for a brief period of time, then in 1992 a Douglas DC-8-61 was added to the fleet and operations expanded with multiple daily flights to Miami and San Juan. Due to the political instability in the island, the tourist traffic almost disappeared and Haïti Trans Air found itself not being able to meet its obligations. Flight schedules were scaled back and one of the Boeing 727s was taken out of service because the airline could not afford to keep it flying. In March 1995 the situation could not be sustained anymore and Haïti Trans Air went out of business.[2]

Locked breech is the design of a breech-reloading firearm's action. This is important in understanding how a self-reloading firearm works. In the simplest terms, the locked breech is one way to slow down the opening of the breech of a self-reloading firearm when fired. The source of power for the movement is recoil.
+
The principle of firing a projectile from a firearm is that when the propellant in a bullet's casing is ignited, the propellant burns quickly for a very short time. This creates a high-pressure pocket of gas that expands, pushing the projectile (bullet) out of the chamber and down the barrel of the firearm. If the high-pressure gas were not confined within certain parts of the weapon, it could damage the firearm or injure the shooter. A 'locked breech' barrel confines the high-pressure gas to the barrel, allowing the gas to expand and cool without risk of damaging weapon or shooter. Because of the pressure drop, a breech block can be opened in a self-reloading firearm due to the recoil inertia generation by the movement of the projectile.
+
This action relies on the inertia of a breechblock to retard breech opening until pressures have dropped to safe levels. This is not a locked breech and works by the cartridge case push against the breech and moving while there is pressure in the chamber. The inertia of the slide/breechblock will allow the case to move immediately but not so fast that dangerous pressures escape.[1]
+
Delayed blowback
+
This action is found where recoil is light enough that a fully locked breech is not necessary. Like simple blowback, it is case movement that opens the breech. This is a more robust version of simple blowback. Sometime a spring loaded lever is used to increase the resistance inertia of the slide/breech to keep the case in the chamber long enough to be safe.[1]
+
Locked breech
+
This action is used when the pressure in the chamber is high enough that the opening of the breech would occur too rapidly with simple or delayed blowback which could cause weapons damage or human injury. The breechblock is "locked" into the barrel. At the point of firing the inertia pushes the barrel and slide/breechblock backwards together for a certain distance. This type of action utilizes the inertia of the locked together slide/breech and barrel so that its inertia prevents movement too quickly. The locking mechanism will disengage after a certain amount of travel at which time the pressures will have dropped.[1]
+
The main difference is that there is a very strong lock in the locked breech action where the blowback systems rely on the inertia of components to provide safe operation. The type of action used by a firearms designer will be determined by the design goal inherent for that firearm. The three actions described are increasingly more expensive to manufacture.
+
Recoil is described by Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.[2] This force is felt in the hand or on the shoulder when a person fires a handgun or a rifle. It takes the form of a quick sharp push away from the path the bullet is flying in and directly against the hand or shoulder of the shooter.
+
The locked breech systems in handguns and rifle vary significantly. The photograph showing four handgun barrels illustrates the evolution of handgun locked breech systems in four of the most famous firearms. This is from the Browning Hi-Power (I in the photograph), John Browning's last design. The second barrel is of the same action type in the CZ model 75 handgun. The third barrel type is from an HK USP pistol. The fourth barrel is from a Glock (which uses the Sig Sauer system).

CZ model 52 roller locking system

The photograph on the right is of a different type of locking system. This one is the Beretta Rotary locking system found in their PX Four Storm handgun. The next photograph on the left is of the CZ model 52 showing a roller locking system. Some sources describe this as a delayed blowback action but it is actually a locked breech.

In the late 19th century, firearms makers learned how to use this mechanical force to create "self-loading" weapons, whether they were in artillery, rifles, shotguns, or handguns. The lower-powered calibers such as .22 caliber rimfire, (example gun) Walther P22 .22 Rimfire handgun were able to self-load using the energy produced by the .22 rimfire cartridges which simply blew the action open to reload a new cartridge. (This is called simple blowback.)
+
As cartridges grew in size and power the amount of recoil in the chamber increased. The energy created by larger and higher pressure cartridges, such as 9×19mm Parabellum pistol cartridge, results in violent movement of the gun's action.
+
In the case of simple blowback (and delayed blowback) the changes needed for a firearm to be able to control the higher amount of inertia and higher chamber pressures resulted in firearms design changes. Some designers handled this problem by making the moving parts of the firearm heavier and the strength of the recoil spring much greater. Firearms such as the .25 ACP Beretta SB950, take a great deal of force to chamber a round. Beretta solved this problem with a tilting barrel which allowed loading without having to pull the slide to the rear.
+
Gun makers developed ways to keep the actions from opening too soon by "locking" the breech closed. Using this technique a firearm, such as the Colt .45 ACP Government model handgun was made which featured a grooved barrel and a grooved slide which were cammed together to prevent the breech from opening. The camming mechanism "locked" the breech closed until the entire barrel and slide assembly had moved far enough that the pressure in the chamber was low enough to safely unlock the breech during the process of ejecting the spent casing which was followed by loading a new loaded cartridge.[3] (This is called locked breech.)
+
Firearms that are physically small, such as handguns, use a system of recoil referred to as short recoil.[1][4] This is adequate for the smaller calibers. In large firearms such as the Browning M2HB .50 caliber machine gun a similar system called long recoil is used. The difference is how far the breech moves after a shot is fired.[1]
+
Locked recoil systems rely on timing to allow safe operation. A very heavy bolt mechanism can be used (such as in sub-machineguns) to slow the rate of movement and reduce the rate of fire.[5] This is not adequate with higher velocity and higher energy cartridges. Rifles and most handguns use locked breech designs to control recoil safely.
+
The amount of mass of the components, the strength of springs,[6] and the distance the barrel and slide are allowed to recoil is carefully calculated and tested to ensure safety.
