Rofe Park is a bushland reserve in New South Wales, Australia. It has a heritage listing of local significance.

This district park is located on Galston Road in Hornsby Heights. It is on Crown land and is maintained by Hornsby Shire Council.

History
Rofe Park was named after  Councillor Thomas Ernest Rofe (born 15 June 1869).

Rofe was a Sydney-based philanthropist and President of Hornsby Shire Council who donated land for Hornsby Hospital that was to be situated on the land that is now Rofe Park.

Archaeologist Margrit Koettig reported in 1996 that Rofe Park contains no known Aboriginal relics.

Facilities
The main oval is laid out with a number of baseball diamonds. Baseball is played during summer and Aussie Rules football during winter. For training purposes, the playing area can be lit using a number of light poles, fitted with QI lamps. Surrounding the main oval is a 717 metre long concrete path that is used for walking and cycling. There are also playgrounds, a synpave tennis court, and an off-leash dog area.

Mobile Phone Tower
As of 2008, Telstra has applied to install a mobile phone tower in the park.  The application is being opposed by a number of residents of the area.

The tower and associated equipment hut were installed in June and July 2009.  The 30 metre tower features a compact 2100 MHz 3g Antenna array above the field lighting.

Colonel Mark Wilks  (1759 – 19 September 1831) was a Manx soldier, historian and East India Company administrator who worked in southern India principally in the princely state of Mysore. He was the acting Resident at the Wodeyar Court.

Life
He was born at Kirk Michael vicarage in the Isle of Man, the son of Rev. James Wilks and Elisabeth Christian, and came from a lineage of Manx gentry. He was named after his godfather, Bishop Mark Hiddesley.

He purchased cadetship through Sir Henry Fletcher, in the court of the Directors of the East India Company in 1781 at the age of 18, joining the Madras Army. He was commissioned an officer in 1782 and like others, he was trained at Fort St. George, he picked up Persian. He translated the Persian poet Nasir-ud-din's work Aklak-i-Naseri into English. Wilks served as a secretary to the Military Board in 1787, accompanying Sir Barry Close on a diplomatic mission to Mysore. His early education included Greek and Latin classics which and he would later in life promote its study by his nephew Mark Cubbon. He served as the Town Major at Fort Saint George around 1788, the capital of Madras Presidency. After a furlough in England Wilks became a private secretary to Lord Edward Clive. Wilks served alongside General James Stuart during the storming of Srirangapatna resulting in the death of Tipu Sultan in May 1799. He was sent to Basra and returned in 1803 to India to be appointed Resident at Mysore.

He wrote several historical works including, Report on the Internal Administration of Mysore. This was a continuation of a report on the survey of the Kingdom of Mysore undertaken by Lieut. Col. Colin Mackenzie. He also wrote the book Historical Sketches of the South of India in an attempt to trace the History of Mysoor. This also relates to the works of Lieut. Col. Colin Mackenzie. Mark Wilks was the uncle of Mark Cubbon who was the Commissioner of Mysore and after whom the Cubbon Park in Bangalore is named.

After his return from India, Mark Wilks, with the active help and co-operation of James Kirkpatrick, the East India Company (EIC) Resident at Hyderabad, wrote one of the first histories of medieval South India: Historical Sketches of the South of India. This volume examined the rise of the Mysore Wodeyar dynasty in the confusion following the fall of Vijayanagara in 1565. Wilks denounced the reign of Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan in his historical enquiries and sought to find the causes for the decline of the Vijaynagar Empire.

In 1813 he was appointed Governor for three years of Saint Helena where the exiled former French Emperor Napoleon is said to have found Wilks a highly engaging and affable man. Saint Helena was chiefly a center for slave trade and as Governor he did not outlaw it but he is thought to have taken a sympathy for Samuel Ally, a freed slave. Wilks invited William Roxburgh to study the possibility of cultivating cinchona. After the British government took temporary control of St Helena from the EIC during Napoleon's time on St Helena, Wilks return to England in 1816 and was elected to the Manx parliament, the House of Keys. In 1826, after the death of his father-in-law, he became Speaker of the house. A portrait of Mark Wilks still hangs in the Tynwald building in Douglas.

In February 1826, as Colonel Mark Wilks, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.

He married twice. In 1813 he married his second wife, Dorothy Taubman, daughter of his predecessor as Speaker. He had a son John Barry (named after Barry Close) who died young and a daughter, Laura, who married Gen. Sir John Buchan KCB of Kelloe House, Berwickshire, where Wilks died on a visit in 1839.

Sir Mark Wilks Collet, 1st Baronet was his great-great nephew. Their papers are held together at the Manx National Heritage Library and Archives.

GTP' (GTP prime) is an IP based protocol used within GSM and UMTS networks.  It can be used with UDP or TCP. GTP' uses the same message structure as GTP (GTP-C, GTP-U), but it is largely a separate protocol.  GTP' uses registered UDP/TCP port 3386.

GTP' can be used for carrying charging data from the "Charging Data Function" (CDF) of the GSM or UMTS network to the "Charging Gateway Function" (CGF). In most cases, this should mean from many individual network elements such as the GGSNs to a centralised computer which then delivers the charging data more conveniently to the network operator's billing center.

GTP' is used on the Ga interface within the 3GPP GPRS Core Network definition.

GTP' reuses aspects of GTP, although to quote 3GPP TS 32.295, "only the signalling plane of GTP is partly reused". GTP' defines a different header, additional messages, field values, as well as a synchronisation protocol to avoid losing or duplicating CDRs on CGF or SGSN/GGSN failure. Transferred CDRs, if following 3GPP standards, are encoded in ASN.1.

Header
GTP' v1 and v2 headers contain the following fields

 Version  The first header field in a GTP' packet is the 3-bit version field.  For GTP' v2, this has a value of 2 (hence the name GTP' v2).
 Protocol Type (PT)  a 1-bit value that differentiates GTP' (value 0) from GTP (value 1).
 Reserved a 3-bit reserved field (must be 1's).
 Header Length (Hdr len) a 1-bit value that for GTP' version 0 indicates if using a 20 byte header (value 0) (as per GTP) or this 6 byte header. This bit must be unset (value 0) for subsequent GTP' versions and in these does not indicate the header length as this must always be 6 bytes.
 Message Type An 8-bit field that states the message type. Possible values:

 Length A 16-bit field that states the length of the packet being encapsulated by GTP' (not including the GTP' header itself).
 Sequence Number A 16-bit field that uniquely identifies this packet and allows detection of loss or duplication

Message Types

GTP' uses the GTP Version Not Supported, Echo Request and Echo Response messages unchanged, but adds the following messages

 Node Alive Request
 Node Alive Response
 Redirection Request
 Redirection Response
 Data Record Transfer Request
 Data Record Transfer Response

Node Alive Request / Response

The Node Alive messages are used to advise other network components that a node has started service. The request is sent from the node starting and so provides a faster method to re-enable service than polling using Echo Request/Response does. This message can also be used to advise of other nodes coming back into service, and (in GTP' version 2) to advise of the IPv6 address of the CGF.

Redirection Request/Response

The Redirection messages are used to:
 divert the flow of CDRs from the CDFs (SGSN/GGSN) to another CGF when the sender is being removed from service (for maintenance/failure).
 advise that the CGF has lost its connection to a downstream system

In either case the CDFs are given more information about an impending or immediate failure than would be the case if the CDF was polling using Echo Request messages.

This message contains details about the cause, and optionally address(es) of an alternate CGF.

Data Record Transfer Request/Response

The Data Record Transfer messages are used to reliably transport CDRs from the point of generation (SGSN/GGSN) to non-volatile storage in the CGF.

Data Record Transfer Request

Each Data Record Transfer Request message can contain a message of one of four types:
 Send Data Record Packet - This message contains zero or more CDRs. CDRs may be encoded in ASN.1 using BER or, less commonly, PER.
 Send possibly duplicated Data Record Packet - This message contains one or more CDRs, and this message has previously been sent to another CGF.
 Cancel Data Record Packet - This message orders the CGF to remove one or more Data Record Packet from the CGF "possibly duplicated" pending queue.
 Release Data Record Packet - This message orders the CGF to write the contents of one or more Data Record Packets from the CGF  "possibly duplicated" pending queue.

There is a mechanism to attempt to avoid losing or writing any duplicate CDRs. This is described in some detail in 3GPP TS 32.295. The basic premise is that every packet is sequenced and if not individually acknowledged then it will be resent until it is acknowledged by any CGF. Normal Data Record packets are immediately written to non-volatile storage (e.g. disk), but resent packets are marked as "possibly duplicated" and enter a special queue that is not immediately written to non-volatile storage—a second confirmation from the CDF is required.

The ability to send a Data Record Transfer Request containing zero CDRs is used as a test to detect the success or failure of the CGF to have already written records assigned to that sequence number and is an important part of the above mechanism.

Data Record Transfer Response

The Data Record Transfer Response acknowledges receipt of one or more Data Record Transfer messages; responses can be grouped for reasons of efficiency but must be sent more frequently than the sending CDFs timeout.

The acknowledgement includes a cause and can be a rejection of the contained records.

Sri Lanka, having a history as long as many ancient civilizations, positioned at the crossroads of the East and the West, and being a multicultural society, celebrates a wide variety of festivals, ceremonies and events.

Every year on or about April 13 Sinhalese and Tamil people celebrate Sinhalese and Tamil New Year Festival, Muslims celebrate Mawlid, fast during the Islamic month Ramadan and celebrate at the end of the month with the festival which is (Eid al-Fitr) and  (Eid al-Adha) is celebrated on the final month of the Islamic calendar known as Dhu al-Hijjah. Christians celebrate Easter and Christmas.  Esala Perahera (A-suh-luh peh-ruh-ha-ruh) is a grand festival in the month of Esala held in Sri Lanka. Happening in July or August in Kandy, it has become a unique symbol of Sri Lanka. It is a Buddhist festival consisting of dances and richly decorated elephants. There are fire-dances, whip-dances, Kandyan dances and various other cultural dances. The elephants are usually adorned with lavish garments. The festival ends with the traditional 'diya-kepeema'. The elephant is paraded around the city carrying a casket venerated by Buddhists as bearing the Relic of the tooth of the Buddha.

Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade is a Brazilian municipality in Mato Grosso with 16,271 (2020) inhabitants. It is located at upper Guaporé River close to the border with Bolivia. It served as the capital of the Captaincy of Mato Grosso from 1752 to 1820.

Today, because most inhabitants descend from former African slaves, the town creates the impression of a town in the African jungle rather than in one in the Amazon jungle. The distinct African feeling is also reflected in a yearly festival called  Festa do Congo. One of its main events is the Dança do Congo, which is performed at the ruins of the former igreja matriz — a particular type of colonial Portuguese church. Aside from those church ruins, which are the main tourist site of the town, there is a small history museum.

The town serves as a hub for trips to the Amazon jungle along the upper Guaporé River and the nearby nature reserve Parque Estadual da Serra de Ricardo Franco. One of the main attractions of the latter is the  Cascata dos Namorados (English: Valentine Cascades).

The municipality contains the  Serra Ricardo Franco State Park, created in 1997.

The milli mass unit or (mmu) is used as a unit of mass by some scientific authors even though this unit is not defined by the IUPAP red book nor by the IUPAC green book. It is a short form of the more formally correct "milli unified atomic mass unit" (mu) and equivalent to  of the unified atomic mass unit (u). A more modern name is the millidalton (mDa)

since the "unified atomic mass unit" is more and more displaced by the unit dalton. (1 Da = 1 u)

Since 1961 the unified atomic mass unit "u" has been defined as  the mass of C. Before that the atomic mass unit "amu" was defined as  the mass of O (physics) and as  the mass of O (chemistry). Thus the publication date in literature ought to be heeded when reading about the milli mass unit as its name does not reveal whether it refers to the old amu or the newer u.

The mass excess is usually indicated in mu or mmu.

In mass spectrometry the mass accuracy of a mass analyzer is often indicated in mu, even though a more correct unit would be mTh (millithomson) since mass spectrometers measure the mass-to-charge ratio, not the mass. The relative mass accuracy is often indicated in ppm, even though this is no longer supported by the IUPAC green book which suggests using units like μTh/Th instead of ppm.

George Legrady (Légrády György, Tamás, Antal, Tivadar, born January 8, 1950) is a multidisciplinary digital media artist and university professor in photography and computational media arts.

Early life and education
Legrady was born in Budapest, Hungary, and emigrated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada at age 6 with his parents and brothers Miklos and Thomas under political refugee status in November 1956 during the Hungarian Revolution. His father, :nl:Thomas Legrady was a musician and composer. His paternal great-grandfather Légrády Tivadar was a lithographer and co-founder with his brother :hu:Légrády Károly, of the Légrády Testvérek publishing house in Budapest. His maternal great-grandfather, :hu:Váradi Antal, was a playwright, poet, and director of the Hungarian National Academy of Dramatic Arts in Budapest.

Legrady attended French elementary school in Montreal at pensionnat Mont Jésus-Marie, Outremont with his brother Miklos, where both studied classical music. They completed their high-school degrees in English at Marymount High in Cote-Saint Luc. Between the age of fourteen to twenty, he worked in construction, factories, and underground mining in northern Manitoba, also as a keyboardist in various Montreal bands such as the Mike Jones Group, the Haunted, and the Urge. In the late 1960s he was an occasional member of both the Musicians’ Union and the Steelworkers Union.

In 1969, he studied in English Literature at Loyola College, Montreal where he was introduced to photography as an artform by painter/photographer Charles Gagnon, and photographer John Max. After a one-year travel in Europe and the Middle East, he attended Goddard College, Vermont in 1971, and followed with a Masters of Fine Arts in Photography at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1976.

Artistic career
He began his photographic artistic practice in Montreal. In 1973, he realized his first major project, a photo documentary in northern Quebec of four James Bay Cree communities in response to the James Bay Cree hydroelectric conflict. Following graduate studies at the San Francisco Art Institute in the mid 1970s, his work resulted in numerous projects that focused on a semiotic analysis of the photographic image. In 1985, he produced a photo documentary on the visual syntax of public billboards in four major Chinese cities.

Legrady began to explore the potential of digital technologies in the early 1980s in the studio of Harold Cohen at the University of California in San Diego. His contribution to the digital media field since the early stages of its formation in the early 1990s has been in intersecting cultural content with data processing. This is a means of creating aesthetic and socio-cultural narrative experiences. In 1997, the digital catalog of his solo museum exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada and the Canadian Museum of Photography, tracing the transition from photography to interactive media installations in his artworks, is now featured online at the Daniel Langlois Foundationfor Arts, Science, & Technology.

His most significant interactive digital media arts projects include the "Anecdoted Archive from the Cold War" in 1993, "Slippery Traces" in 1995, published by the ZKM Museum in Karlsruhe. His data visualization project "Making Visible the Invisible" for the Seattle Central Library began in September, 2005 and continues to this day, collecting and visualizing data by the hour. It was featured in the Whitney Museum Artport online exhibition in 2005. Commissioned by the Centre Pompidou and travelling internationally from 2001 to 2006, the data collecting installation "Pockets Full of Memories" invited visitors to contribute objects in their possession, digitally scanning and describing them. This information was stored in a database and organized by the Kohonen Self-Organizing Map algorithm that positioned objects of similar descriptions near each other in a two-dimensional map. The map of objects was projected in the gallery space and was also accessible online at where individuals in the gallery and at home could review the objects and add comments and stories to any of them.

Beshekee, also Pezeke and other variant spellings of Ojibwe Bizhiki (English: Buffalo), was a noted war chief from the Bear doodem of the Pillager Chippewa Band during the 19th century in North America.

As a young man, he signed the 1837 Treaty of St. Peters as Pe-zhe-kins (Bizhikiins, meaning "Young Buffalo"), a Warrior.  The Pillager Band was famous for producing skilled fighters in the wars against the Dakota, and in his time, Beshekee was among the most respected of these.

In 1855, he travelled with Aysh-ke-bah-ke-ko-zhay (Flat Mouth), another prominent Pillager leader, to Washington, D.C. to address the grievances of the Mississippi Chippewa and to negotiate a cession of Ojibwe lands at the headwaters of the Mississippi River to the U.S. Government.

Beshekee would later sign the 1863 Treaty that partially addressed these grievances by establishing permanent reservations in Minnesota, including one at Leech Lake.

Jim Hickey (born 1 August 1949) is a weather presenter for TVNZ in New Zealand. He was the senior weathercaster for TVNZ for 22 years.

Biography
Hickey grew up on a farm in Ōpunake, and initially trained as a secondary school teacher before going on to study a Bachelor of Arts in geography with specialisation in climatology. Hickey later completed a Diploma of Meteorology.

In 2006, Hickey was announced as a board member of Family First New Zealand, a conservative Christian lobby group, a position he still holds.

Hickey has an affinity for aviation; during his time as a weatherman, Hickey would pilot himself from his home in New Plymouth to his work in Auckland in a Cessna. In 2019 Stuff published that Hickey was living in an unused airport hangar at the New Plymouth airport that he had remodelled. James Brian Hickey, his father, was a Spitfire pilot in Burma during World War Two.

Hickey has four children, including Sally Jo Hickey, a former influencer.

Career
Hickey's career in the arts began in the early 1980s with minor theatre and television roles, including roles on Mortimer's Patch and Children of the Dog Star.

In 1988 Hickey began presenting the weather for TVNZ as the senior weathercaster, a position he held until 2003. In 2007 he resumed his role as senior weathercaster, following Brendan Horan's retirement. One notable cross occurred following a snow dump which blocked the Homer Tunnel, and following the cancellation of flights, flew himself and Tāmati Coffey (who was a reporter for Breakfast at the time) from Milford Sound to Queenstown.

Following his time as the senior weathercaster, Hickey has gained somewhat of a celebrity status in New Zealand. Hickey was also known for his on-air persona and gaffes, including one incident where Hickey said "comeburgers," which was then featured on Eating Media Lunch.

In addition to his role as weathercaster, Hickey presented other TVNZ programmes such as Country Calendar, Jim's Car Show, A Flying Visit, How's the Weather Jim? and The Real Middle Earth.

Alongside his television career, Hickey co-owns a series of cafes and restaurants and has worked in the antique furniture business.

The Southern Indian Ocean Islands tundra is a tundra ecoregion that includes several subantarctic islands in the southern Indian Ocean.

Location and description
The ecoregion stretches from Prince Edward Islands in the west, past the Crozet Islands to the Kerguelen Islands 1500 km to the east, and includes the active volcano Heard Island and the nearby McDonald Islands.

Flora
These rocky islands support a variety of plant life, such as tussock grasses, that has adapted to the snowy and icy conditions. There are a number of endemic plant species including Poa cookii grass and the Kerguelen cabbage (Pringlea antiscorbutica), historically a source of vitamin C for sailors, is found on all the islands, not only the Kerguelens. There are also a number of endemic lichens and liverworts.

Fauna
The islands are home to birds and insects such as butterflies, moths, weevils, and spiders as well as wildlife typical of the southern oceans such as penguins, seals and seabirds. This ecoregion is a melting pot where related Antarctic and subantarctic species and subspecies co-exist, for example the following can all be found here: the sooty albatrosses (Phoebetria fusca), light-mantled albatross (Phoebetria palpebrata), northern giant petrel (Macronectes halli), southern giant petrel (Macronectes giganteus)), Antarctic fur seal (Arctophoca gazella) and subantarctic fur seal (Arctophoca tropicalis) on Prince Edward, Crozet and Heard Islands.

Vulnerable or endangered birds include three endemics, the duck, Eaton’s pintail (Anas eatoni), the large wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) and Kerguelen tern (Sterna virgata) as well as a number of albatrosses (the two sooty albatrosses, Indian yellow-nosed albatross (Thalassarche carteri) (the smallest of the mollymawk albatrosses), the large gray-headed albatross (Thalassarche chrysostoma), and black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys)), three penguins  (western rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome), macaroni penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) (the one with the white stripe across its head)), and a number of petrels (the two giant petrels, grey petrel (Procellaria cinerea) and  white-chinned petrel (Procellaria aequinoctialis)).

Other breeding birds include the land-based black-faced sheathbill and many seabirds brown skua, kelp gull (Larus dominicanus), fulmar prion (Pachyptila crassirostris), Antarctic prion (Pachyptila desolata), slender-billed prion (Pachyptila belcheri), fairy prion (Pachyptila turtur), Antarctic tern (Sterna vittata), Cape petrel (Daption capense), black-bellied storm petrel (Fregetta tropica), grey-backed storm petrel (Garrodia nereis), blue petrel (Halobaena caerulea), Wilson’s storm-petrel (Oceanites oceanicus), common diving petrel (Pelecanoides urinatrix), South Georgian diving-petrel (Pelecanoides georgicus), great-winged petrel, white-headed petrel (Pterodroma lessonii) and soft-plumaged petrel (Pterodroma mollis).

The largest seabird colonies are on the Prince Edward Islands, followed by the Crozet Islands which have breeding colonies of all six species of albatross as well as more than half the world's population of king penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus).

All six Antarctic seals can be found here, the two fur seals, leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx), Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii), southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina), and crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophagus)). The fur seals and southern elephant seal breed in the region, and are increasing in numbers now that seal-hunting has stopped, while large numbers of leopard seals winter on the rocks of Heard Island. The colony of southern elephant seals on Heard Island and the Kerguelens is one of the three largest in the world.

Threats and preservation
These isolated islands are relatively unspoilt but their wildlife is not very varied and therefore can be quickly damaged by any human activity and particularly by introduced species of both plants and animals. For example, introduced grasses have taken over areas of some islands, while alien animals including moths, salmon, the mallard duck, rabbits, reindeer, sheep and goats have damaged island ecosystems. Cats and mice are a particular problem as both prey on breeding seabird colonies. Another particular threat is the danger to diving seabirds caught by long-line fishing of the Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) in the seas around the islands; gray-headed albatross and white-chinned petrel have been especially damaged by this industry as they habitually follow fishing boats.

Siriano (also called "Selea" or "Sürá") are a Tucanoan people indigenous to Colombia and Brazil. Their total population is estimated at 750, with most living in Colombia. Their exogamous culture means that, glossologically, speakers are identified by the first language of their father. The Siriano language is Tucanoan.

June Preisser (June 26, 1918 – September 19, 1984) was an American actress, popular in musical films during the late 1930s and through the 1940s, many of which capitalized on her skills as an acrobat.

Life and career
Born June 26, 1918, in New Orleans, Preisser was one of six children. As a child, she was underweight and began going to an athletic club in an attempt to build strength and gain weight. It was there that Preisser and her sister Cherry learned acrobatics, in which they excelled. Their mother was keen to have them follow a career in show business, especially when their father died suddenly, leaving the family with few options to make a living. When Preisser was nine years old, an actor noticed the two sisters performing acrobatics on a sidewalk near their home, and his interest led to their working in vaudeville and later for the Ziegfeld Follies in 1934 and 1936.

The Preisser sisters were successful in the United States, and performed in Europe, including for George VI of the United Kingdom. Cherry retired after her June 22, 1937, marriage, ending their team. In 1938, June tumbled alone in the Broadway musical You Never Know.

June was signed to a film contract by MGM. Her first film, Dancing Co-Ed (1939), provided only a small part, but her next film, Babes in Arms (1939), gave her a significant role opposite Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. She performed with Rooney and Garland again in Strike Up the Band (1940), and with Rooney in two "Andy Hardy" films,  Judge Hardy and Son (1939) and Andy Hardy's Private Secretary (1941).

In 1940, Preisser appeared in Gallant Sons, a comedic murder mystery. The following year, she played her first lead role opposite Jimmy Lydon in Henry Aldrich for President (1941), and followed this with Sweater Girl (1942), opposite Eddie Bracken. She continued her career following her marriage in 1942 to radio announcer J. Moss Terry. The couple had a son, Richard Josiah “Ricky”, the following year and later divorced.

By this time, MGM had little interest in promoting Preisser’s career. She left MGM and began working for Monogram Pictures. Preisser continued to appear in musical comedies over the next few years, and played the character Dodie Rogers in seven The Teen Agers films with Freddie Stewart, Frankie Darro and Noel Neill from 1946 to 1948. She made her final film appearance in Music Man (1948). After appearing in a Los Angeles theater production of Annie Get Your Gun, Preisser retired from acting.

Later years and death
After retiring from acting in the early 1950s, Preisser taught dancing and acrobatics in Los Angeles. She then moved with her son, Richard Josiah Terry, to Boca Raton, Florida. From 1972 until her death, Preisser worked at Pompano Office Supply with her son.

In the early morning hours of September 19, 1984, Preisser was the passenger in her son’s car when the two were involved in a fatal car accident in Pompano Beach, Florida. Richard Terry died at the scene while Preisser died of her injuries at North Broward Medical Center.

Goddards Green (Goddards' Green on Ordnance Survey maps) is a hamlet in the Mid Sussex District of West Sussex, England. It is in the civil parish of Hurstpierpoint and Sayers Common, and lies just off the A2300 road 1.7 miles (2.8 km) west of Burgess Hill.

The hamlet consists of the Sportsman Inn, a few cottages, a water treatment works, a sawmill and a timber depot. The hamlet has become considerably quieter since the building of the A2300 as the roads through the hamlet were used by traffic taking shortcuts from the A23 to Burgess Hill. Today only the north–south Cuckfield–Hurstpierpoint road is operational.

Etymology
The root god may link the name to the town of Godstone in Surrey, with which it was connected via one of the old Roman roads. It may also suggest an association with the Goths,  though this is uncertain. The town appears to have been part of a Roman or Sub-Roman network that included Godstone and Ditchling.

Surrounding area

The area around Goddard's Green is extremely rich in biodiversity, ancient woodlands and clean streams. At the very north of the parish is Pond Lye which is a little lake that in the 1970s was earmarked to become a Site of Special Scientific Interest, but it never did. The Pook Bourne is a special, biodiverse stream and the area. Just north of the Bourne () is a fragment of old meadow, with a colourful tapestry of flowers, including Pepper Saxifrage and Sneezewort. Just west of the Burgess Hill Ring Road are several derelict fields, some in Council ownership. With management they could become places with rich biodiversity but they look set to succeed to scrub thickets. The verges of Malthouse Lane as it turns east to join the Ring Road () were rich in archaic flowers at the turn of the century, but by 2012 the encroaching scrub had left only the Water Dock, Betony and Saw Wort surviving. The lack management only increases the risk that the area will be developed.

All the area south of Goddard's Green was threatened by a proposal for a massive new settlement of over 3000 homes. Local people had fought it off by 2017, but the area is still under pressure from developers. Campaigners are working hard against the 'Northern Arc' development around the countryside north of the Burgess Hill Link. Many recognise that the current hyper-development pressures might spreading to fill the whole gap between A23 and Burgess Hill ultimately destroy the ancient woodlands and the rich biodiversity around the Pook Bourne and the ancient woods around Goddard's Green.

Pook Bourne

West of Burgess Hill the Pook Bourne (Saxon for 'Goblin Stream') e.g. (), makes a shallow meandering valley between small ancient woods. is a unifying feature and strongly influences the character of the area resulting in an enclosed localised valley setting. It would be the best of our English countryside, if it was not for the noise of the London Road and the Burgess Hill Link Road.

The lush brook meadows have escaped 'improvement' in some spots. There is Gipsywort and Corn mint, Spearwort and Reed Canary Grass. On a bank on the south side () stands the best Wild Service Tree in Hurstpierpoint parish , with Pepper Saxifrage in the turf. A shallow pond has Spike rush (and unfortunately invasive Himalayan balsam). Wild Hop clambers all over the bushes by Pook Bourne Bridge (). It is possible that archaeological remains may be present within the area. There is a designated Heritage Asset in the form of a Grade II listed barn, of mid to late 18th century date, is located at North End Farm. Until 2012, the old Pookbourne Barn still stood  () sheltering its roosting Barn Owl.

Woods
There are a number of ancient woods in the area. Great Wood () is a bluebell wood, with springtime carpets of Hyacinthoides non-scripta, the 'common bluebell'. These, along with wood anemone (Anemonoides nemorosa), grow under a coppice-with-standards tree-cover. On the south side of the Pook Bourne is the part-ancient, part-plantation Blackhouse Wood (). The secondary part has a ground cover of dog's mercury and the ancient part has bluebells and wood anemones. South of Shalford () are two more little ancient woods, Hungerfields Wood, in the crook of Northends Lane () and Northend Copse (), a bluebell wood under oak and hazel, with at least one wild service tree. To the east, Parson's Withes (), in the angle between Gatehouse and Pangdean Lanes, has varied flora and much thorn, both Midland hawthorn and common hawthorn and their hybrids. The landowner allowed the public to use the woods for recreation until 2021, since when "Private: Keep out" notices have been put up. Locals have suggested this is so the land can ultimately be sold to developers with less protests from a concerned public.

Alfred Henry Strange (2 April 1900 – 3 October 1978) was an English footballer who played most of his career as a half back with Sheffield Wednesday. He won 20 caps for England, including three as captain.

He began his career at Portsmouth, helping "Pompey" to win the Third Division South title in 1923–24. He then transferred to Port Vale and impressed at the club enough to win a move to Sheffield Wednesday in February 1927. He spent eight years with the club, helping Wednesday to win the First Division title in 1928–29 and 1929–30. He ended his professional career at Bradford Park Avenue in 1936. Over the course of his 14 years in the Football League he scored 63 goals in 382 league appearances. He spent a brief spell as manager of Bedford Town after World War II.

Early and personal life
Alfred Henry Strange was born on 2 April 1900 in Marehey, Ripley, Derbyshire. He was the fourth of nine children to Alfred Henry and Mary (née Fox); his father was a hewer in the local coal mine. He attended Street Lane School and went on to follow his father into the mines. He married Elsie Cuttell in 1923 and had three children: Margaret Elsie (born 1927), Donald Henry (born 1931) and Dorothy Patricia (born 1938).

After retiring from football, he settled in Ripley and worked as a poultry farmer. In 1979 a room at the Ripley Leisure Centre was named the "Alf Strange Room" in his honour.

Club career
Strange played for the Marehay Colliery team, where he was spotted by scouts from Portsmouth, for whom he signed as a professional on 2 October 1922. He started his career with Portsmouth as a centre-forward and in his two seasons there he scored 16 goals from 24 league appearances, helping them to win the Third Division South title in 1923–24.

Frustrated at the lack of regular first team opportunities at Fratton Park, Strange moved to Second Division club Port Vale for a £500 fee on 29 October 1924. His excellent ball control and powerful shots impressed the fans at The Old Recreation Ground, as the club enjoyed some of its most successful years with three successive eighth-place finishes. At Port Vale he was a regular selection at inside forward, scoring seven goals in 33 league and FA Cup games in 1924–25. He claimed 17 goals in 42 games in 1925–26, including a hat-trick in a 4–2 win over Clapton Orient on 2 January and four goals in a 5–0 victory over Blackpool on 6 February. He scored five goals in 28 appearances in the first half of the 1926–27 season. On 18 February 1927, he was transferred to Sheffield Wednesday, with Harry Anstiss and "a substantial financial consideration" moving in the opposite direction.

He claimed five goals in just 13 First Division games in the latter half of the 1926–27 campaign. He was limited to only 17 appearances in the 1927–28 season. After he was switched to right half "his career blossomed". He was an "ever present" when Wednesday won the Football League title in 1928–29, and in the following season he missed only one league match as Wednesday claimed the title for the second consecutive year. He played in Sheffield Wednesday's 2–1 defeat by Arsenal in the Charity Shield at Stamford Bridge in October 1930.

Strange played 42 games in 1930–31, as Wednesday dropped to third position with Arsenal running away with the title. He scored three goals in 45 matches in 1931–32, helping the club to another third-place finish behind Arsenal and champions Everton. He claimed five goals in 43 appearances in the 1932–33 season, as Wednesday made another third-place finish behind Arsenal and Aston Villa. However, he featured just 20 times in the 1933–34 season. He missed out on all but one game of the 1934–35 season and was unable to play in any of Wednesday's matches in the FA Cup, when they went on to win the final against West Bromwich Albion 4–2.

In May 1935, after 253 league and 19 cup appearances at Hillsborough, Strange transferred to Second Division side Bradford Park Avenue. He played the 1935–36 season at Horsfall Stadium before dropping down to lower league football, returning to his place of birth to play for Ripley Town. He also played for the Raleigh Cycles team and for Corsham United. Following World War II, Strange was appointed manager of Southern League side Bedford Town in April 1945, a position he held until resigning in January 1947.

International career
Strange was selected to represent the Football League three times, before receiving his first England cap for the match against Scotland on 5 April 1930. He played at right half as England won 5–2, with Vic Watson and Strange's Wednesday teammate Ellis Rimmer each scoring twice. Two other Sheffield Wednesday players, Ernie Blenkinsop and Billy Marsden, also played in this match.

In May 1930, he accompanied England on a European tour where he played against Germany and Austria, both matches being drawn. He continued to be selected for England over the next few years, being appointed captain for a 5–2 loss to France on 14 May 1931 and a 3–1 win over Wales on 18 November 1931.

His final England appearance came at White Hart Lane on 6 December 1933, when he was able to gain "revenge" for the defeat by France two years earlier, with England winning 4–1 (George Camsell scoring twice).

Donald Cameron (born c. 1550), known as Black Taylor of the Axe (Scottish Gaelic Taillear Dubh na Tuaighe) was a famed warrior of the Scottish Highlands during the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots. Born illegitimate, his father was Ewen Cameron of Lochiel, 14th chief of Clan Cameron, and his mother was the daughter of the chief of Clan MacDougall. Donald Cameron is claimed as the eponymous ancestor of the Taylor sept of Clan Cameron. He is alluded to in the coat of arms of the chief of Clan Cameron, as a likeness of him appears as the supporters holding a Lochaber axe.

Childhood
After Donald's birth, Ewen kept his son, and had him nursed by a tailor's wife at Lundavra in Lochaber ("Cameron country").  There, as an infant, Donald received the nickname An Taillear Dubh (an, a diminutive; Taillear, an occupational reference to the caretaker's husband; Dubh, translated as "black" in the context of meaning "dark haired" or "dark tempered").

Ewen died in captivity in 1553, prisoner of the chief of Clan MacDougall who was holding Ewen captive until such time as he agreed to marry the chief's daughter. Acknowledgement of Donald's parentage did not suffice according to laws of hereditary succession, the consequence being that Ewen, an unmarried man, died without "legitimate issue". The title of 15th chief of Clan Cameron passed instead to Ewen's younger brother, Donald Cameron of Lochiel. As for property, Donald did not inherit his father's lands, as Queen Mary – unhappy with Ewen's fighting history and lack of obedience towards her summons – granted all of Ewen's lands to George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly.

Warrior
Donald was raised by Corunan MacLachlans, the earliest cadet branch of Strathlachlan to leave Cowal, and hereditary standard-bearers to Cameron of Lochiel. Corunan was located midway between Fort William and Corran of Ardgour in Lochaber,
 and it was here that Donald developed skills with the fighting weapon of his area, the Lochaber axe, using it when Camerons battled.

The 15th chief of Clan Cameron died without legitimate issue in 1569. His younger brother, John, would have been next in line of hereditary succession, but had recently died, thereby John's infant son, Allan Cameron of Lochiel (born 1567/68), became 16th chief of Clan Cameron. Soon thereafter, around 1570, the Battle of Bun Garbhain pitted Camerons against their principal rival Clan Mackintosh. It was here that Donald, with his Lochaber axe, became a Cameron hero for slaying Mackintosh of Mackintosh, 15th chief of Clan Mackintosh, earning Donald the nickname Taillear Dubh na Tuaighe.

When Donald went to Allan's family with news of this battle, Allan's mother, daughter of the slain Mackintosh chief, became enraged, and attempted to kill baby Allan. Donald intervened in time, saving the young 16th chief of Clan Cameron, another heroic act, but Allan's mother was banished from Lochaber forever.

Fighting was not limited to clan against clan. Because of his youth, Allan was vulnerable to being usurped by a Cameron cadet branch (distant family). Ewen Cameron of Erracht, uncle of the 14th chief of Clan Cameron, became suspect and so it was that in the 1580s, Donald's men, Cameron of Lochiel, murdered Ewan Cameron of Erracht in battle at Inverlochy Castle on behalf of young Allen, and retaining the line of hereditary succession for Camerons of Lochiel.

Legacy
Cameron-Mackintosh fighting continued to be bloody. Eventually, Donald fled with his family and followers to Cowal and found safety. His descendants settled in Strath Eachaig where they were known as Mac-an-taillear ("son of the tailor").
 By the 18th century, his descendants carried the surnames MacInTaillear, Macintaylor, Taylor and Tayler and still lived on the Cowal peninsula.  They referred to Donald with endearment as Taillear Dubh, while referring to themselves as Clann an Taillear Dhuibh Chamronaich ("Children of the Black Taylor of the Camerons").(Mackenzie, 1875, pages 526-530)

Donald's legacy is preserved in the double black lines of the Taylor sept's tartan, designed in 1955 by Lt.Col. Iain B. Cameron.

Handcross  is a village in the Mid Sussex District of West Sussex, England. It lies on the A23 road  south of Crawley. At the 2011 Census the population fell within the civil parish of Slaugham.

Nymans Garden,  of parklands run by the National Trust, is located adjacent to the High Street, as are  of woodland and water gardens at High Beeches Garden.

Handcross has one public house, The Red Lion (High Street), which was refurbished in 2010 in contemporary style. It formerly had three, the other two being The Fountain (demolished in 2012 and replaced by housing) and The Royal Oak (closed in 2020). This is now due to re-open in 2023, Handcross also has a Social club.

Handcross Primary School, situated at the northern end of the village recently underwent extensive building works to increase capacity. Opposite the primary school is Handcross Park School, an independent prep school.

Handcross Hill
Handcross Hill is a stretch of the A23 road which runs past the village. This part of dual carriageway used to be notorious for accidents due to its being on a steep gradient, being surrounded by trees and containing a number of sharp bends, those being unsuitable for a road of its type.

On 12 July 1906, a bus crashed into a tree following a mechanical failure, killing 10 people and injuring 26 in the worst road crash in Sussex history.

The hill has proved to be dangerous enough to be widened and straightened by the Highways Agency and the cutting of the surrounding trees began overnight in mid-2011. The project was completed in late 2014.

Robbs Jetty railway station was a railway station, south of Fremantle between 1902 and 1972.

History

On 22 October 1898, the Fremantle line was extended south for  to Robbs Jetty. On 1 July 1903, the line was extended to Coogee. Initially the line was only served by freight trains; a passenger service began in 1913.  The station was removed during the creation of the marshalling yard in 1972.

Robbs Jetty station was the near the Robb Jetty Abattoir and South Fremantle Power Station.

A large dual gauge marshalling yard with a four-storey signal box tower was built by the Western Australian Government Railways in the 1960s as part of the standard gauge project from Kalgoorlie to Leighton to serve local industries. With the closure of the power station in 1985 and the abattoir 1992, the yard was decommissioned and lifted. The site has been earmarked for residential redevelopment.

Today's Bradshaw Trail is a historic overland stage route in the western Colorado Desert of Southern California.  It is a remnant of the much longer Bradshaw Road, also known as the Road to La Paz, or Gold Road, established in 1862 by William D. Bradshaw.  It was the first overland route to connect the gold fields near La Paz in the U.S. New Mexico Territory, later the Arizona Territory, to Southern California's more populated west coast.  Once in La Paz, additional roads provided access to the mining districts of the central New Mexico/Arizona Territory, near Wickenburg and Prescott.

The route ran from San Bernardino, California, through the San Gorgonio Pass and Coachella Valley, past the Salton Sink (now filled by the Salton Sea), and east to the Colorado River where Bradshaw's Ferry was available to transport travelers across the river.  The gold fields were then some 5 miles northeast of current-day Ehrenberg, Arizona.  The trail that remains today is a graded dirt road, that traverses southeastern Riverside County, and a part of Imperial County, beginning roughly  east of North Shore and terminating about  southwest of Blythe for a total of .

History
The trail is named for trailblazer William D. Bradshaw, who first crossed the area in 1862. A former forty-niner, Bradshaw knew that the northern gold mines were rapidly becoming exhausted and that the flood of refugees from the area would need a more direct trail from the south across the desert to the new strike at La Paz. Without a direct trail, it would be necessary to travel a great distance southeast to Yuma, then north up the river to La Paz. Bradshaw was also aware of the financial possibilities that could be found in a gold boomtown. In May 1862, Bradshaw and eight other men set out to find a direct route to La Paz.

Originally  long, the western trailhead began east of San Bernardino in the San Gorgonio Pass.  Bradshaw and his party traveled southeast through Agua Caliente, now Palm Springs, and then South to a village where the Torres Martinez Indian Reservation is now located.  There Bradshaw was befriended by Cabazon, a chief of the Cahuilla Indians of the Salton Sink, and a Maricopa from Arizona who was visiting the Cahuilla villages.  They provided Bradshaw with the knowledge of the route of their ancient trade route through the Colorado Desert, including the location of springs and water holes.

Armed with this information, Bradshaw traveled eastward near present-day Mecca at the northern tip of the Salton Sink, to Bitter Spring at the foothills of the Orocopia Mountains and on 5 miles to an existing stage stop called "Dos Palmas Spring."  Leaving Dos Palmas, the men continued through the pass eastward between the Orocopia and Chocolate mountain ranges, briefly skirting the southern end of the Chuckwalla range, crossed through a gap in the Mule Mountains and reaching the Palo Verde Valley two miles southwest of the modern community of Ripley. Despite the fact that the trail crossed mostly barren desert, water was reasonably plentiful with water holes found at roughly  intervals at Canyon Springs, Tabaseca Tanks, Chuckwalla Springs and Mule Spring.

Crossing the Palo Verde Valley to the northwest, they crossed a slough of the Colorado River called Laguna, and Willow Springs Station, to Bradshaw's Ferry, the crossing point of the Colorado River to Mineral City east of what is now Blythe.  Once they crossed the Colorado River, the party rode upstream for approximately five miles to the gold fields of La Paz.

Between 1862 and 1877, the Bradshaw Trail was the main stagecoach and wagon route between Southern California and the gold fields of La Paz and other places in western Arizona.  The La Paz - Wikenburg Road connected the Bradshaw Trail to the interior of Arizona Territory and the mining districts there.  Olive City was the first Bradshaw ferry crossing for the trail from 1862 to 1864.  With the founding of Mineral City, which became the new Bradshaw ferry crossing, Mineral City became part of Ehrenberg when it was established in 1866.  From 1870 the trail ended and connected with the toll road to Wickenburg at Ehrenberg as La Paz, became a ghost town when its mines played out.

The trail today
The remaining fragment mostly crosses public land save for the extreme eastern end of the trail at Ripley, where it intersects 30th Avenue,  west of SR 78.  Use of a four wheel drive vehicle is recommended to traverse the trail, and no amenities may be found on the trail itself.

Another consideration is the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range which borders a part of the Bradshaw Trail to the south.  This is a live bombing range and is clearly posted as such.

Miguel Praia (born 2 March 1978) is a retired Portuguese, 5 time world champion motorcycle racer. He now works on the broadcast team for MotoGP in Portugal.

Career

Portuguese championships
Praia was born in Portalegre, Portugal. His first race was in 1994 at the age of 16 on a Yamaha TZR50. In 1997 he rode a full championship for the first time, finishing 3rd overall riding a Yamaha TZR125.

After the death of his brother Alberto Praia, he stopped racing, but returned in 1999 riding a Yamaha TZ125 in the Portuguese 125GP championship, finishing in 6th place.

In 2000, Praia had a good year in the newly established Aprilia Challenge 125cc, ending most races in 1st place and setting several lap records, but a jury decision in the last round placed him in 2nd position overall.

In 2001, Praia moved up into the 600cc category. He finished in 8th position in Troféu Honda CBR600RR.

After a not outstanding year in a supersport class, 2002 was Praia's breakout year. He set new lap records in most rounds, and became champion for Troféu Honda CBR600RR 2002. In 2003 he repeated this achievement, winning the champion's title for Troféu Honda CBR600RR again.

In 2005, at the end of the Portuguese Stocksport 1000 championship, he entered the Superbike World Championship, winning the last two races on a Honda CBR1000RR he had never ridden before.

European championships
In an attempt to get more and better experience from an international competition, in 2002 and 2003 Miguel Praia raced in European Supersport Championship, as the highest-performing Portuguese racer.

World championships
By invitation of the Portuguese Government, Miguel Praia participated in the Macau Grand Prix in 2002 and in 2003, finishing 5th and 4th respectively. In 2003 he entered the Portuguese round of the MotoGP 250cc championship as a wildcard and finished 22nd.

2004 was his first year in full World class championships. He joined team NCR Ducati in the Superbike World Championship along with his teammate Garry McCoy. As the number 2 in the team and a newcomer into the Superbikes world, Praia had a disappointing season, racing on a Ducati 999RS and then a Ducati 998RS. He finished the championship in 30th place.

He switched teams the following year to join DFX Extreme team with a Yamaha R1 in 2005, and saw much improvement in his lap times, but in a year with many newcomers from other world championships in the Superbikes class, his finishing placing dropped to 34th.

Praia switched to a lower class in 2006, the Supersport World Championship, but this time with a new Portuguese team, Parkalgar Racing Team, and riding a Honda CBR600RR. The team experiences some problems in getting the right setup for the machine, and the year did not go well; Praia had to abandon some races due to mechanical failures, and eventually retired from the championship.

In 2007, Praia made better lap times compared with the previous years, but more new rivals from Superbikes and other world championships also joined the championship, and his faster speeds were not reflected in the final standings, again finishing 34th.

In 2008 the Parkalgar Racing Team secured Factory Honda support and a new Honda CBR600RR better shaped then the previous year's ones. The pre-season tests at Almería (Circuito de Almería) in January raised expectations for the team, with Praia's team-mate Craig Jones setting a new lap record for the track and Miguel Praia less than a second behind.

The Football Conference season of 1987–88 (known as the GM Vauxhall Conference for sponsorship reasons) was the ninth season of the Football Conference.

Overview
Lincoln City, who had been relegated to the Conference a year earlier in the first season of automatic promotion and relegation between the Conference and the Fourth Division of the Football League, won the Conference title to reclaim their place in the Football League, where they replaced the bottom placed Fourth Division club Newport County.

The season featured an experimental rule change, whereby no attacker could be offside directly from a free-kick. The change was not deemed a success, as the attacking team invariably packed the six yard box for any free-kick (and had several players stand in front of the opposition goalkeeper). The experiment was swiftly dropped.

New teams in the league this season
 Lincoln City (relegated from the Football League 1986–87)
 Fisher Athletic (promoted 1986–87)
 Macclesfield Town (promoted 1986–87)
 Wycombe Wanderers (promoted 1986–87)

Datura leichhardtii is a species of thorn apple in the genus Datura. In 1844, Ludwig Leichhardt is said to have discovered this species in Australia. Ferdinand von Mueller gave it the name Datura leichhardtii when he published his first description of it in 1855.

The natural habitat of this species covered an area from Mexico to Guatemala. It was taken to Australia, where today is widespread in Queensland, the Northern Territory and New South Wales. The plant is extremely fond of heat, and its preferred habitat is close to rivers and streams. Datura leichhardtii grows into a bush from 1.5 to 3 ft tall. The plants are green and a bit furry, with inconspicuous yellowish white flowers. The spiny seed capsule is about 1.5 in. in diameter.

The plant is not found in cultivation, because its flowers have no ornamental value.

Toxicity

All parts of Datura plants contain dangerous levels of poison and may be fatal if ingested by humans or other animals, including livestock and pets. In some places it is prohibited to buy, sell or cultivate Datura plants.

Liège Science Park is a business incubator and science park of the University of Liège and is located on the territories of the municipalities of Seraing and Liège in Belgium.

History

In 1953, Marcel Dubuisson, the new president of the University of Liège supported the idea of creating a new type of campus, based on what he had seen during a stay at Harvard University in 1936. The campus should combine all the university services: libraries, accommodation units, sports facilities, the restaurants and the companies linked to the Alma Mater. Marcel Dubuisson together with Pierre Clerdent (Governor of the Province of Liège) drafted a plan for a site outside the city of more than 10 square kilometres of land. The Sart Tilman site would become the new location for all the activities of the University of Liège.

In 1971, the Belgian Committee of Ministers for the economic and social cooperation created the science park which is located on both the municipality of Liège (Sart Tilman) and the municipality of Seraing (Cense rouge). In February 1975 the first company, IBM, settled on the science park. The site would be developed with the cooperation of three partners: SPI+, the Company-University Interface of Liège and the municipality of Seraing. Besides academic research, biotechnology, electronics, space and engineering. In 2003, the scientific park was named Liège Science Park as part of project which promotes the development of high-potential economic activities together with a closer cooperation between high-tech companies and research labs.
