Jody Lloyd is a New Zealand electronica and hip-hop musician and record producer from Christchurch. He is the brother of Cloudboy vocalist Demarnia Lloyd, and the two siblings have frequently appeared on each other's recordings.

Biography
In 1993 Lloyd formed the group Dark Tower, a two-piece featuring himself and Axel Foley (under the pseudonyms "The Earl" and "Eel" respectively). Dark Towering Inferno released their first EP, Real Zealmen in 1995, followed by the critically acclaimed Shadows on a Flat Land in 1998, the first release on Lloyd's own She'll Be Right label. Shadows on a Flat land featured collaborations with a swag of Christchurch musicians including his father, sister (Cloudboy's Demarnia Lloyd), Jeremy Taylor, Mark (DUFF) Duff and Claire Falloon. Mark Duff Shared production duties on the EP and engineered the production.

Eventually, more Dark Tower albums followed, with Canterbury Drafts in 2001 (nominated for best New Zealand hip hop album of the year 2001, NZ Music Awards), and The Dark World and The Pacific Scandal, both in 2005. Dark Tower produced an unexpectedly New Zealand voice in the local hip-hop scene, which had otherwise been dominated by an amalgam of American street styles and Polynesian influences known as Urban Pasifika. While Dark Tower's music had some Urban Pasifika influences, some critics claimed it revelled in kitsch kiwiana, defiantly presenting rap their own New Zealand accents and sampling such nostalgically New Zealand elements as old television theme music and folk music.

Lloyd has alternated Dark Tower's cut-up hip-hop in recent years with electronica and remix work under the pseudonym of Trilly Dilly under which name he has released six albums. These albums commenced with Fresh Jams in 2002, at a lucid end in 2003, this world and the sadvipra diversion in 2004, The gray between Shadow and Shade 2005,Audio Agriculture in the 21st Centuryin 2006, and 'SILENTinvisible', his masterpiece in 2008.

Lloyd formed the six-piece Trillion Band in the year 2004 and in 2007 the band was reduced to three members and took on the name The Incredible Braking Wheel, releasing a five-track EP.

Lloyd has also produced albums for Irish outfit Basil Spice Joe, rapper Billy Wilson, Phil Johns, Le Mo Cafe, Catalyst Poetry Journals and Canadian writer and poet Jim Christy.

Lloyd is the founder of She'll Be Right Records, a Christchurch-based label specialising in natural accent New Zealand music including Mark (DUFF) Duff, John White (Mëstar), Andy Gibson, Ragamuffin Children, Barry Puffin, Phil Johns, Billy Wilson, Bazuki Joe, Jeremy Taylor, Delaney Davidson, Tono, Jim Christy, Le Mot Cafe and Mark Tupuhi.

Controversy

Lloyd promotes factual claims about vaccine safety, previously releasing a track in 2010 called "The Vaccine Song" which was pulled from his youtube channel in 2021 by Google when Google released their own kids song with the same title which promoted the covid 19 vaccine. Another vaccine awareness track released in 2021 "Blood Clot", featuring Beef Welli and Janjahrade, was written to bring attention to the swift rise in blood clots and heart attacks after people received the covid 19 vaccine.

George E. Blake (17 August 1774 in England – 23 February 1871 in Philadelphia) was an American music engraver and publisher. He was born in Yorkshire, England and, according to his obituary in the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, emigrated to the United States when he was sixteen. Other sources disagree on the exact year he arrived in America. What is clear though is that by 1793, he began teaching the flute and the clarinet in Philadelphia, operating out of a room above the shop of music publisher John Aitken on South Third Street. During this period, the city was being ravaged by an outbreak of yellow fever. Unlike many others, Blake chose to stay instead of fleeing the city. He remained in Philadelphia for the rest of his long life.

Blake's career
In 1802, Blake acquired the rights to piano maker John Isaac Hawkins' factory. By the next year, he had published his first piece of music, and by 1810, he was advertising his services by claiming that he had the largest assortment of music in the country. At the height of his career, from about 1810 to 1830, he was considered one of the most prolific music publishers in the United States. He was one of the first to publish full scores of American musical theater, including the popular 1810 musical by John Bray and J.N. Barker, The Indian Princess (). One of his greatest early achievements was a complete edition of Thomas Moore's Irish Melodies (), which Blake first published in 1808 and continued printing until 1825. During the 1820s and 1830s, he undertook what was then the most ambitious music-publishing project in the United States: the complete vocal works of George Frideric Handel in piano-vocal score over fifteen folio volumes (). In around 1830, he published the first American edition of Handel's Messiah (). His publications throughout his career were diverse: he printed songs of the Philadelphia theater (based on London theater music), opera librettos, original American compositions, political songs, excerpts from Italian opera, and minstrel music. By the 1850s, Blake stopped publishing music, although he continued selling his earlier publications out of his small store at 13 South Fifth Street, which adjoined 23 South Fifth, the residence of his friend and artist Thomas Sully.

At his death, in his 95th year, Blake was hailed as the oldest publisher in the United States, save and except Lee & Walker, a Philadelphia-based music publisher that had been in existence since 1773.  George W. Lee (d. 1875) and Julius Walker (d. 1857) founded their firm in 1848 by acquiring the publishing firm of George Willig (1764–1851), for whom they both once worked.  In 1794, George Willig had taken over the firm of Möller & Capron — John Christopher Möller & Henri Capron — which was founded in 1773 as the first music publisher in the United States.

Geography
Torquay is located  north of Brisbane. Torquay is one of five beachside suburbs in Hervey Bay that is made up of primarily residential homes with some tourist accommodation in apartment buildings.

History
The name Torquay might appear to be a reference to the English seaside town of Torquay, but its origins are believed to be a corruption of Kabi language words dhakki-talbur, reduced to dhakki meaning either a place of short stones, a rocky reef or a stone axe. The similarity of the sound of the word probably gave rise to the English-town spelling.

Torquay Provisional School opened on 21 January 1901. On 1 January 1909 it became Torquay State School.

The Pialba-to-Urangan section of the Hervey Bay railway opened on 19 December 1913 with Torquay railway station () serving the local area. The line closed on 30 June 1993. The railway station site has been redeveloped as housing.

In 1919 a Baptist church opened in Torquay. It was erected by the Maryborough Baptist Church. Tenders were called in June 1919 with Messrs Payne and Jacobi chosen as the contractors in July 1919. The new church was officially opened on Saturday 4 October 1919 with a special excursion train from Maryborough arranged for those attending the opening. Over 500 people travelled to attend the opening. The church was at approx 270 Torquay Terrace (). The church building has subsequently been relocated to 44 Wheeley Road, Booral, where it is used as a private residence.

All Souls' Anglican Church opened in 1968. It closed circa 1988.

Puduḫepa or Pudu-Kheba (fl. 13th century BC) was a Hittite queen, married to the King Hattusili III. She has been referred to as "one of the most influential women known from the Ancient Near East."

Biography

Early life and marriage
Puduḫepa was born at the beginning of the 13th century BC in the city of Lawazantiya in Kizzuwatna (i.e. Cilicia, a region south of the Hittite kingdom). Her father Bentepsharri was the head priest of the tutelary divinity of the city, Shaushka (identified with the Mesopotamian Ishtar), and Puduḫepa grew up to exercise the function of priestess of this same goddess.

On his return from the Battle of Kadesh, the Hittite general Hattusili met Puduḫepa and, it was said, Ishtar instructed him to find in her love and companionship, decreeing that they would enjoy the 'love of being a spouse to each other.' She accompanied him then to the kingdom of Hapissa. For Puduḫepa it was an advantageous match. Although Hattusili was most likely much older than her and already had numerous lovers and concubines, Puduḫepa became first among them all. When her spouse successfully rose to the Hittite throne by defeating his nephew Mursili III in a civil war instigated by Hattusili around 1286 BC, Puduḫepa ascended the throne with him, becoming tawananna, or queen.

Reign

Puduḫepa had an important role in the Hittite court and international diplomacy of the period. She would appear constantly by the side of her spouse as he made his rulings and decisions. It appears, however, that she was portrayed reigning hand in hand with her spouse rather than subservient to the king. Puduḫepa had the use of her own seal, controlled the domestic arrangements of the royal palaces, and judged court cases. Blending religion and politics, she reorganized the vast pantheon of Hittite deities.

From the royal palace in the newly rebuilt capital city of Hattusa, Puduḫepa used her sons and daughters to ensure Hittite ascendancy and to cement alliances. This was a role that had never been performed by a Hittite queen before.

She played an important role in diplomacy with Ancient Egypt. Extensive correspondence bearing Puduḫepa's seal survives, communicating several times with the king of Egypt Ramesses II as he signed a peace treaty with Hattusili, in which Hattusili agrees that two of his daughters should go to Egypt to marry Ramesses.

A diplomatic marriage between King Kadashman-Enlil II of Babylonia may have been in the offing with Puduḫepa matchmaking Kadashman-Enlil's betrothal to one of her daughters.

A princess of Babylon was married into the Hittite royal family. This would have been a daughter or sister of King Kudur-Enlil and the news elicited contempt from Ramesses II, who apparently no longer regarded Babylon as politically significant. Puduḫepa replied in a letter, ‘If you say "The king of Babylon is not a Great King," then you do not know the status of Babylon.’

After the death of Hattusili, the role of Puduḫepa expanded under the reign of her son Tudhaliya IV, under the title of goddess-queen. She was involved in judicial matters to the point of intervening in legal cases. She was also a priestess who worked on organising and rationalising Hittite religion.

Her daughters were Queen Maathorneferure of Egypt and Princess Kiluš-Ḫepa.

Nefertari and Puduḫepa

Queen Nefertari of Egypt sent gifts to Puduḫepa:
The great Queen Naptera (Nefertari) of the land of Egypt speaks thus: ʻSpeak to my sister Puduḫepa, the Great Queen of the Hatti land. I, your sister, (also) be well!! May your country be well. Now, I have learned that you, my sister, have written to me asking after my health. You have written to me because of the good friendship and brotherly relationship between your brother, the king of Egypt, The Great and the Storm God will bring about peace, and he will make the brotherly relationship between the Egyptian king, the Great King, and his brother, the Hatti King, the Great King, last for ever... See, I have sent you a gift, in order to greet you, my sister... for your neck (a necklace) of pure gold, composed of 12 bands and weighing 88 shekels, coloured linen maklalu-material, for one royal dress for the king... A total of 12 linen garments.’Kitchen, Kenneth A., Pharaoh Triumphant: The Life and Times of Ramesses II, The King of Egypt, Aris & Phillips. 1983

George Hubert Hugh Heron (30 January 1852 – 5 June 1914) was an English footballer who made five appearances as a forward for England in the 1870s and won three FA Cup winners' medals.

Playing career
Heron was born in Uxbridge, west London and attended Mill Hill School and Cranleigh School. He was a founding member of the Uxbridge Football Club on 3 February 1871 and was its captain until  joining the Wanderers in the 1874-75 season.

His first international appearance came on the left of a six-man forward line against Scotland on 8 March 1873 at the Kennington Oval, London, which resulted in a 4–2 victory for England. He was again selected for the third annual match against Scotland on 7 March 1874, when "the Scots managed a 2-1 victory to avenge the 1873 defeat".

He made his debut for Wanderers on 4 March 1874 in a mixed club friendly match against Westminster School. He was described in the 1875 "Football Annual" as "a wing player (who) is useful and at times brilliant; is fast and dribbles skilfully, used to be a little selfish in his style of play, but of late very much improved in this respect". He made ten appearances for Wanderers in 1874–75, scoring eight goals.

In 1875, he was one of several Wanderers players selected to meet Scotland at Kennington Oval on 6 March. This match ended 2-2, with England's goals coming from Heron's Wanderers team-mates, Charles Wollaston and Charles Alcock. For the next year's international match played at Hamilton Crescent, Partick on 4 March 1876 Heron was appointed captain, with his younger brother Francis playing alongside him. According to Philip Gibbons, "England struggled throughout the game, which saw the home team run out winners by three goals to nil."

A week after the England match, he was part of the Wanderers team that met the Old Etonians in the 1876 FA Cup Final at the Kennington Oval. The first match ended in a 1–1 draw, with the Wanderers victorious 3–0 in the replay on 18 March. Heron was involved in the second and third Wanderers goals, twice laying on the crosses for Thomas Hughes to score. Francis also played for Wanderers in this match; it would be another 120 years before a pair of brothers again played together in an FA Cup-final winning side and for England in the same season, when Gary and Phil Neville did so in 1996.

The following season, Wanderers were again victorious in the Cup Final, defeating Oxford University 2–1. In the semi-final against Cambridge University, Heron scored the only goal to send Wanderers to their second consecutive final and a (then) record fourth in total. This was as close as the FA Cup Final ever came to a battle between the two leading universities. In the final itself, his cross found Jarvis Kenrick who scored an equalizing goal near the end of normal time; Wanderers scored the winning goal in extra-time.

Heron was not selected for the 1877 international, but was recalled in 1878. The match, played on 2 March 1878 at Hampden Park ended in a humiliating 7–2 defeat. This brought Heron's international career to an end; all his matches had come against Scotland and comprised one victory, one draw and three defeats.

In the first round of the 1877-78 FA Cup, Heron scored four goals in a 9–1 victory over the Panthers. On 23 March 1878 he reached his (and Wanderers') third successive Cup Final. Although not scoring himself, he again put in a cross from the right for Kenrick to score his second goal of the game, with Wanderers eventually running out 3-1 victors. Wanderers thus won the Cup for the fifth (and final) time in seven years. The 1878 FA Cup final was Heron's final game for Wanderers.

During his career he also played for Windsor Home Park and Swifts as well as representing Middlesex and London.

Later career
Heron served on the F.A. committee between 1873 and 1876 and earned his living as a wine merchant in Bournemouth.

 Credit: One class hour in a week during a term shall be considered as one credit. For laboratory classes, two class hours shall be considered as one credit.
 Course: A course is a set of topics delivered to the students by lectures, contact hours and practical exercises on a specific subject incorporated in the approved curricular layout and developed by the Board of Studies (BOS) to offer in a term.
 Course Coding: Each course is designated by 3 (three) capital letters and a 3-digit number. The 3 letters indicate the department offering the course. Of the three digits, the first digit indicates the academic year in which the course is normally offered. The next two digits indicate the offering term, where 01-30 stand for the First term, 31-60 for the Second term, and 61-99 for the third term.

Research and publications
The university has been conducting researches from its inception shouldering active roles in the national and international agricultural research arena. Teaching excellence and effective research are conclusively interrelated in academics and that of innovation in programs. Classrooms teaching are continually powered and enriched by those faculty members who are actively engaged in research. Faculty members of this university have many long and short-term research projects and these projects are prepared as per national agricultural research needs and implemented. Some of the faculty members also prepare and implement research projects in collaboration with national and international research scientists. In many cases, the postgraduate student research is linked with the research projects of the faculty members. The functions of the research management wing are to integrate the research programs undertaken by different academic departments, allocate budget, publish research abstracts, journals annual report, invite Research Management Committee (RMC) funded research project proposals, and evaluate, implement and monitor these projects.

A firelog is a manufactured log constructed to be used as wood fuel. Firelogs are designed to be inexpensive, while being easier to ignite, and burn longer, and more efficiently than firewood. Firelogs are traditionally manufactured using two methods: the first uses only compressed sawdust and the second uses sawdust and paraffin, which is mixed and extruded into a log shape. The extruded firelogs are individually wrapped in paper packaging which can be ignited to start burning the firelog as the paraffin is readily combustible.

Types
A new cleaner firelog has now been developed using waste fibre from the oil palm fruit bunches of South East Asia. Unlike sawdust logs, these burn with zero sulfur emissions. Also unlike sawdust logs, no trees need to be felled to produce these firelogs. Other new types of firelogs include one made from waste wax-cardboard such as that used in the packing of perishable foods for shipment, which is used to create a compressed cardboard firelog, and another made from renewable Greek cotton plants, offering a high energy content.

The materials used for a traditional firelog are variable, the sawdust used is often commercial wood waste from manufacturers, or waste agricultural biomass (nut shells, fruit pits, etc.); additionally bio-wax may be used in lieu of paraffin (petroleum-based wax).

There are wood and wax firelogs made using renewable materials. These are made using plant or animal based renewable waxes such as palm oil. These logs can be considered to be carbon neutral firelogs, as during combustion the carbon released is the same carbon absorbed when the plants are growing. Sulphur emissions are virtually eliminated with renewable firelogs as they do not contain paraffin waxes.

Isoetes tegetiformans, commonly known as mat-forming quillwort or mat-forming Merlin's grass, is an aquatic lycophyte endemic to the U.S. state of Georgia. It grows exclusively in shallow, temporary pools on granite outcrops, often with only 2 cm of soil. Only 7 populations are known to exist, and three of these have been destroyed since the plant's discovery in 1976. The remaining populations are threatened with habitat destruction due to quarrying, though the species is protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. New leaves quickly sprout after fall and winter rains, but during the dry summer months these typically shrivel.

Georgia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Peace Will Come" written by Kim Breitburg and Karen Kavaleryan. The song was performed by Diana Gurtskaya. The Georgian broadcaster Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB) held a national final in order to select the Georgian entry for the 2008 contest in Belgrade, Serbia. An open call for submissions was held which resulted in the shortlisting of twelve entries that were presented to the public during a televised production on 1 March 2008. The results of a public televote exclusively resulted in the selection of "Peace Will Come" performed by Diana Gurtskaya as the Georgian entry, having received 39.4% of the votes.

Georgia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 22 May 2008. Performing during the show in position 14, "Peace Will Come" was announced among the 10 qualifying entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 24 May. It was later revealed that Georgia placed fifth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 107 points. In the final, Georgia performed in position 25 and placed eleventh out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 83 points.

Background

Prior to the 2008 Contest, Georgia had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest one time since their first entry in 2007, which qualified to the final where the country placed 12th with the song "Visionary Dream" performed by Sopho. The Georgian national broadcaster, Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB), broadcasts the event within Georgia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. GPB confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest on 3 November 2007. In 2007, GPB opted to internally select the Georgian artist while the song was chosen in a national final. For their 2008 participation, both the artist and song was selected via a national final.

Before Eurovision

National final
GPB opened a public submission from 3 November 2007 until 17 November 2007. 29 entries were received by the submission deadline and an expert commission selected the top twelve songs from the received submissions, which were announced on 29 November 2007 and presented to the public via the GPB First Channel programme Eurovision Year on 31 December 2007. The twelve entries were performed on 1 March 2008 via a special programme at the Sports Palace in Tbilisi, hosted by Sandro Gabisonia, Ana Tshadadze, Natia Tsalaia and Buka Pachkoria and broadcast on the GPB First Channel as well as online at the broadcaster's website 1tv.ge. The winner, "Peace Will Come" performed by Diana Gurtskaya, was determined exclusively by a public televote. In addition to the performances of the competing entries, 2007 Georgian Eurovision entrant Sopho Khalvashi, 2007 Georgian Junior Eurovision entrant Mariam Romelashvili and 2008 Belarusian Eurovision entrant Ruslan Alekhno performed as guests.

At Eurovision
It was announced in September 2007 that the competition's format would be expanded to two semi-finals in 2008. According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top nine songs from each semi-final as determined by televoting progress to the final, and a tenth was determined by back-up juries. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 28 January 2008, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals. Georgia was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 22 May 2008. The running order for the semi-finals was decided through another draw on 17 March 2008 and Iceland was set to perform in position 1, following the entry from Denmark and before the entry from Hungary.

Both the semi-finals and the final were broadcast in Georgia on the GPB First Channel with commentary by Bibi Kvachadze. The Georgian spokesperson, who announced the Georgian votes during the final, was Tika Patsatsia.

Semi-final

Diana Gurtskaya took part in technical rehearsals on 14 and 18 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 21 and 22 May. The Georgian performance began with Diana Gurtskaya in a black designer dress with tassels and white high-heeled boots, joined on stage by two dancers and three backing vocalists in black outfits. At the climax of the song, a large piece of white fabric was lifted over Gurtskaya and the backing performers, revealing white outfits worn by all of the performers. The performance also featured smoke effects. Both of Gurtskaya's outfits were designed by Russian designers Dima Vinokurov and Lyuba Sukhova. Among the backing vocalists that joined Diana Gurtskaya was Anri Jokhadze, who would go on to represent Georgia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.

At the end of the show, Georgia was announced as having finished in the top 10 and subsequently qualifying for the grand final. It was later revealed that Georgia placed fifth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 107 points.

Final
Shortly after the second semi-final, a winners' press conference was held for the ten qualifying countries. As part of this press conference, the qualifying artists took part in a draw to determine the running order of the final. This draw was done in the order the countries appeared in the semi-final running order. Georgia was drawn to perform in position 16, following the entry from Denmark and before the entry from Ukraine.

Diana Gurtskaya once again took part in dress rehearsals on 23 and 24 May before the final. Diana Gurtskaya performed a repeat of her semi-final performance during the final on 24 May. At the conclusion of the voting, Georgia finished in eleventh place with 83 points.

Voting
Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Georgia and awarded by Georgia in the second semi-final and grand final of the contest. The nation awarded its 12 points to Ukraine in the semi-final and to Armenia in the final of the contest.

.shop is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) launched in September 2016. Nine companies including Google, Amazon and Famous Four Media filed applications for .shop in the 2012 ICANN new gTLD application round. GMO Registry became the registry operator after prevailing in an ICANN public auction in January 2016.

History

The idea of a .shop generic top-level domain was around since at least 1999, when an attempt to register it with IAHC was made. Its proposed usage is similar to current endeavors: to provide a dedicated space for ecommerce on the Internet. In 2000, Commercial Connect, LLC requested to operate a .shop registry from ICANN.

Commercial Connect's application from 2000 was well-received, but other domains were prioritized. Japan's GMO Registry also expressed interest in the top level domain name space in late 2009, though Commercial Connect was the most vested candidate that had taken prior steps towards attaining delegation. In 2011, Commercial Connect was reported to have the support of ecommerce companies, with its completed application awaiting final approval as of June 2010. To further this support, Richard E. Last of the National Retail Federation and shop.org joined the board in late 2011.

When the next application process was opened in early 2012, Commercial Connect founder Jeffrey Smith described his .shop as a "hybrid between general public and specific use" designed to make a "more secure, stable, and intuitive" Internet. He sees the domain as a way to easily indicate sites that use online sales, with the application supported by a community defined by entities that use credit card transactions to sell products.

In May 2012, nine applicants including Google, Amazon and Famous Four Media applied to ICANN to operate the .shop registry. Commercial Connect was the only applicant who also applied for the .shop string in ICANN's year 2000 new-TLD round. Applications were also received for the extensions .shopping, .store, .buy, and names with similar meanings in non-Latin languages, and ICANN indicated that they would not create extensions that will confuse users. This so-called "string similarity" is an unresolved issue in the new gTLD process, and is to complement dispute resolution.

In January 2016, GMO Registry of Japan prevailed with a winning bid of US$41.5 million.

WRJI (91.5 FM) was a radio station licensed to serve East Greenwich, Rhode Island.  The station was owned by Educational Radio For the Public of the New Millennium.  It aired Spanish religious programming during hours that WCVY was not broadcasting (14:00-22:00 weekdays during the school year except holidays and vacation).

The station had been assigned the WRJI callsign by the Federal Communications Commission from January 18, 2006 – January 19, 2011.

License deleted
WRJI had not operated from November 2, 2009 – November 25, 2010, nor it asked the FCC for a silent authorization in that time.  WRJI's license was deleted on January 19, 2011.  Station president Carlos Vasquez filed a packet with the F.C.C. in March 2011 stating there were people acting against the station and to relicense the station.  The F.C.C. declined, noting the over-1-year-long outage mandated the station's license be revoked.  Also, the station's application to move its community of license from East Greenwich to Providence was denied, citing overlap with WDOM/91.3.  Additionally, moving WRJI's community of license from East Greenwich to Providence would remove East Greenwich's only "local service."

Subsequent operations
On the Radio Info message board, it was reported on February 14, 2011 that the former operators of WRJI had resumed broadcasting on 91.5 MHz after their license was canceled.  Instead of transmitting from the old East Greenwich site however, they were transmitting from Providence.

History
Established in 1984 as WITQ, it officially signed on in October 1988 as WBLQ.  The WBLQ callsign is now on 1230 AM owned by former WBLQ alum Chris DiPaola. The format was automated adult contemporary until the early 1990s when the station shifted its programming to an eclectic album rock format. In 1996 the station was sold to Bear Broadcasting and the callsign changed to WERI-FM. The operation was moved to Newport in 1999 when Astro Tele-communications rebranded the station as Swing FM running a swing, jazz and standards format as WJZS. The format shifted to adult contemporary again as 99.3 The Bridge, then rebranded as Variety 99.3. In April 2013 3G Broadcasting Inc. purchased WJZS and WADK.

On May 3, 2013 under the new ownership of 3G Broadcasting with program director Matt Girard, WJZS changed  formats to a contemporary hit radio/Top 40 format, branded as "Mixx 99.3" along with a new callsign: WMNP.

WDOM (91.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to Providence, Rhode Island, United States. The station is owned by Providence College and broadcasts from studios and a transmitter on the campus.

WDOM began operations as a carrier current station for the campus in 1949; it began broadcasting on FM for the entire Providence area in 1966. It continues to service the Providence College community and the city of Providence. The station broadcasts indie, hip-hop, alternative, punk, electronica, rap, dance, classic rock, jazz, and country music.

History
On April 28, 1949, WDOM launched as a carrier current radio station serving the Providence College campus on 1450 kHz; a highlight of the first day of programming was an interview with Harry James on the "Guest Band of the Day" segment. That first year, the station broadcast Tuesday and Thursday nights. For 1951, the station broadcast on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, airing for three hours each day. The early years were marked by six frequency changes in the first decades of operation; WDOM moved to Aquinas Hall in 1953, but inconsistency in WDOM's broadcasts prompted a student congress investigation.

More reliable and successful broadcasts came in the mid-1950s as the result of a new transmitter, built by physics students, and equipment donations. By 1964, however, the station had become a non-entity on the campus. The student newspaper, The Cowl, described it as a "phantom frequency" that had only sporadically broadcast.

On November 5, 1965, the Federal Communications Commission awarded Providence College a construction permit for a 10-watt FM station on 91.3 MHz. It was the culmination of FM plans first laid more than 15 years prior. In 1948, the college had obtained a construction permit for a station at 89.9 MHz; at the time Albertus Magnus Hall—the science building which housed the studios—was built, it was mentioned that the plans included FM broadcasting.

After going on the air on March 15, 1966, WDOM increased its broadcast hours—airing ten hours a day—and expanded its sports coverage, including freshman basketball and varsity hockey games. The station continued to broadcast only during the school year. Its music format was Top 40.

WDOM grew over the course of the 1970s. The station moved from Alumni Hall to larger quarters in Joseph Hall early in the decade. It had expanded its broadcast day to 21 hours by 1974 and was airing a mix of progressive rock, in-house educational and block programming; it also began to seek a power increase. By 1976, 100 students were involved in the operation of the station, compared to the 15 to 20 who had been around for the FM launch a decade prior. The station's classical record library received a major boost when the former WPJB-FM, which had exited the format, donated its collection to WDOM in 1976.

In the end, however, it was not increased student involvement that prompted Providence College to pursue a facility upgrade, but rather a 1978 FCC rulemaking that required as many 10-watt noncommercial educational stations—like WDOM—as possible to upgrade to at least 100 watts. The college applied to increase power to 125 watts and was approved by the commission on September 8, 1980, and the improved facilities were activated on December 5. The station continued to balance its rock output with jazz and classical programming, unduplicated in Providence. However, even as these programs remained a part of the station's lineup, rock programming was the priority by the mid-1990s at WDOM; it was followed closely by the Urban Beatz hip-hop show on the weekends, which generated the most callers of any program on the station. The station had also begun 24-hour broadcasting on weekends. In the late 1990s, WDOM moved to a new on-campus location in the Slavin Center, giving it higher visibility.

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, WDOM broadcast Rhode Island Public Radio when WELH, then the network's main transmitter, was knocked off the air. After sending out a message seeking aid, Providence College president Brian Shanley invited the public radio network to use WDOM's facilities, enabling RIPR to continue broadcasting to the immediate Providence area.

Much of the station's equipment was overhauled in 2014; some of it had been in continuous use since the 1990s.

The 1st Arkansas Cavalry Regiment (1862–1865) was a cavalry regiment from the state of Arkansas that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War.

Organization
Arkansas had seceded from the Union in May 1861 and joined the Confederate States of America, raising during the war a total of 48 infantry regiments, more than 30 cavalry regiments and another 25 cavalry battalions, and about 22 artillery batteries for the Confederate Army. Once Union forces had entered the state, however, pro-Union citizens (both black and white) volunteered for the Union Army to serve in 11 infantry regiments, 6 cavalry regiments and 2 artillery batteries.

The 1st Arkansas Cavalry was formed in Springfield, Missouri in July 1862.

Service
It almost immediately moved south to Arkansas to counter the Confederate guerrillas who were harassing Union sympathizers. After the Union victory at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Union forces briefly occupied parts of Northern Arkansas. When they moved their headquarters to Independence County, Arkansas, Union supporters were once again left exposed, causing many to move to Missouri.

The regiment first saw combat in the Battle of Prairie Grove, fought on December 7, 1862. They performed very poorly. A Confederate surge sent two regiments of Missouri Union cavalry fleeing through the 1st Arkansas Cavalry. Seeing hundreds of their comrades fleeing, the Arkansas men joined in the rout. Because of its embarrassing performance, the regiment was assigned to duty in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Confederate forces under Brigadier General William Lewis Cabell attacked the city on April 18, 1863. Both armies were composed entirely of Arkansas regiments. In three hours of fighting, the Confederates failed to break the Union lines and finally retreated. This victory boosted the 1st Arkansas's morale. For the remainder of the war they would serve on duty against guerrillas or as escort for wagon supply trains.

The First Arkansas Union Cavalry played a unique role in Civil War history. The troops, especially the enlisted men, were not Yankees but Southern Unionists. They were primarily from Northwest Arkansas, and were assigned to occupy their home town and county for two and a half years. It was a very bitter war among neighbors fighting each other as Confederate guerrillas and as Union cavalrymen. After the war the First Arkansas commander, Colonel Marcus LaRue Harrison, stayed on in Fayetteville and became its post-war mayor for a time.

Mustered out of service
The regiment was mustered out of the army in August 1865. During their service, their casualties had been comparatively light. Out of its 1,765 men, 110 had been killed, and another 235 died from disease or accidents.

"Min soldat" (English: "My Soldier") is a Swedish song written by Nils Perne (Jokern). It was recorded by Ulla Billquist in 1940 and became one of the most popular Swedish songs during World War II.

Carroll Loveday wrote new English lyrics for the song, which became "The Shrine of St. Cecilia". It was recorded by numerous artists.

Origins
The song was written for and first performed by Naemi Briese in Gosta Jonsson’s revue Det kommer en vår at the Folkan theatre in Stockholm. In the song, a woman is thinking of her fiance who is a soldier "somewhere in Sweden" ("någonstans i Sverige"). She recalls how fashionable he was in comparison to the photograph of him in an ill-fitting uniform. He has told her that they cannot afford to get married this year, and when he arrived yesterday on leave and took her to a dance, he was so tired that he fell asleep at the table. She says she does not mind because he is her "soldier somewhere in Sweden".

Translated to English:

Ulla Billquist version

Ulla Billquist recorded the song for Swedish record company Sonora on 8 May 1940. The recording was Billquist's first for Sonora after she was lured from Sonora's competitor Columbia for a monthly salary of US$700. Sven Arefeldt was the arranger and led the orchestra. The song became Billquist's most popular recording in Sweden.

Several recordings was made with other female singers for other record companies. Among them were Karin Juel and Siv Ericks.

Revival
The song was revived again in 1973 when the author Jan Olof Olsson ("Jolo") used a line from the song as title for his TV-series Någonstans i Sverige about World War II. Billquist's recording was used as theme song.

Other versions
Carroll Loveday wrote new English lyrics for the song, which became "The Shrine of St. Cecilia" in the United States.  It was recorded by The Andrews Sisters with Vic Schoen & His Orchestra on 15 November 1941 and reached #3 in January 1942. Its lyrics describe a hillside shrine which is miraculously spared the ravages of a storm that destroys a nearby town. This was later recorded by a number of American close harmony and doo-wop groups during the 20th century such as Willie Winfield, The Harptones, The Royals and The Bon Aires.
In 1957, Faron Young had a minor pop hit with his version.
The song was performed in the film Jazzgossen (1958) by Maj-Britt Nilsson.
Former ABBA member Anni-Frid Lyngstad recorded the song in 1970 for the TV show "När stenkakan slog", a program made to honour the hits off the old gramophone records. A video was also made for the song, with her sitting in a train compartment.
"Min soldat" was recorded by Danish singer Birthe Kjær and Helmer Olesens orkester on the record Det var en yndig tid. The Danish lyrics was written by Knud Feiffer.

Darnell Edred Jackson (born November 7, 1985) is an American professional basketball player, who lastly played for BM Slam Ostrów Wielkopolski of the PLK. He played college basketball for the University of Kansas for four seasons, including the 2008 national championship team. He did not become a regular starter at Kansas until the 2007–08 season (his senior year), when he replaced Sasha Kaun in the starting lineup.

High school career
Jackson began playing organized basketball for the first time as a ninth grader at Midwest City High School.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Jackson was listed as the No. 12 power forward and the No. 54 player in the nation in 2004.

After this performance, he was named the co-winner of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Player of the Week.

In 2005, Jackson's sophomore year, Jackson was suspended for nine games for accepting payments from Kansas booster Don Davis, a family friend. This was part of a rough year for him, as his grandmother had been killed by a drunk driver earlier in 2005. After scoring, Jackson often thumped his chest three times. Symbolically, one of the thumps was for Jackson's grandmother, one was for his mother, and one was for Davis.
