Landreville Castle () is a castle situated in the commune of Bayonville in the Ardennes
département of France.

Within the territory of a 12th-century châtelain, the castle was built in the early 13th century and remodelled in the middle of the 16th century. The Château de Landreville, situated in the Argonne Ardennaise region, is a rectangular "maison forte" (strong house) flanked by four cylindrical towers with 'pepper-pot' roofs, surrounded by water-filled moats, with a six hectares park, stables and two pavilions. The castle has been classified as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 2006.

It is a rare example of a still practically intact manorial residence of the pre-Renaissance Ardennes region.

In 800 years of history it has witnessed the lives of many families, including the Landrevilles, Grandprés, Chennerys, Beauvais, Maillarts, Meixmorons. The portrait of Claude François de Maillart, lord and marquis de Landreville, was painted by Nicolas de Largillière around 1735.

Description
Construction of the current building dates from the middle of the 16th century, the date of 1567 being seen on one of the chimneys. The building plan is typical since the 15th century, with a rectangular home confined by four round towers. The moat remains visible on three sides.

On three floors, rectangular fire holes are let into the towers to provide protection for the four sides. They still have the support bars that made it possible to stabilise the weapon.

The main door is decorated with embossed designs and statuettes of caryatids, characteristic of the French Renaissance after 1550.

The lower stage is entirely vaulted in stone. In the kitchen, the vaulting is supported by a single pillar in the centre, as was usual. One of the towers contains a spiral staircase. The two floors each include French-style ceilings and chimneys. The two chimneys on the first floor were partly modified in the 19th century.

The buildings which surround the castle are all more recent. The manager's house carries the year 1773. A symmetrical building is an addition from the end of the 19th century. At that time, the buildings located at the south-western entry to the castle were destroyed. The castle is testimony to the military architecture of 16th-century Ardennes.

The Old City Hall, also known as the Red Castle, located in downtown Omaha, Nebraska was located at the corner of 18th and Farnam Streets. Completed in 1890, the building was demolished 1966 after controversy erupted over landmark preservation in the city. Along with Omaha's Old Post Office, the Old City Hall became a rallying call for more deliberate efforts by the community and city leaders.

About
After an 1889 architectural competition won by Omaha architects Fowler & Beindorff, the City Hall was built by the construction firm of John F. Coots from Detroit, Michigan. The building cost approximately $550,000 to construct, and included several interesting features. A raised basement and first floor were built of granite, while the second through fifth floors were of red sandstone. Solid oak lined every interior wall, while the Victorian-style city council chamber featured a large brass chandelier. There were murals throughout the building by artist Gustave Fuchs, and "birdcage" elevators brought guests to the sixth floor of the building, which was added in 1916. Marble stairs led from the main entrance to a second-floor atrium court, and at the southwest corner of the building a clock tower rose nearly 20 stories into the air. A steepled roof crowned the building, with gargoyles abounding.

In 1919 Omaha mayor James C. Dahlman ordered the destruction of the top section of the tower, and in 1950 the building was completely renovated, destroying the original facade. In 1962 the City of Omaha Public Works Director officially classified the building as dangerous, and in 1966 Mayor A.V. Sorensen sold it to the Woodmen of the World. Late that year they demolished it along with the historic Bee Building in order to building the Woodmen Tower.

ACUTA (originally the Association of College and University Telecommunications Administrators, later the Association for Information Communications Technology Professionals in Higher Education) was a North American nonprofit association whose core purpose was to support higher education communications technology professionals in contributing to the achievement of the strategic mission of their institutions. It was founded in 1972 by telecommunications managers or directors and disbanded March 22, 2017.  The association grew with the evolution of technology to include voice, data and video professionals. The group retained the acronym ACUTA to capitalize on its reputation and recognition that spanned 46 years.

Membership in ACUTA resided with the college and university, and these institutions were represented within the association by the men and women responsible for planning, implementing and maintaining voice and data networks throughout campus. A number of Canadian institutions give ACUTA a presence across North America. Companies that provide products and services relevant to the provision of voice, data and video were also invited to become corporate affiliates. Its membership included more than 700 college and university members, and about 150 corporate affiliates.

The group specialized in educational opportunities and professional networking, offering two seminars and one major conference each year in addition to numerous web seminars. Its website provided immediate access to numerous resources, an active listserv offers useful information as members interact with peers, and the publications program provides a monthly electronic newsletter and a quarterly journal as well as other materials that address issues of relevance and importance. ACUTA also worked closely with a Washington law firm to provide up-to-date information from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission and Congress.

The ACUTA board of directors voted to dissolve on March 22, 2017.

The South Warner Wilderness is a federally designated wilderness area  east of Alturas, California, United States. It encompasses more than  of the Warner Mountains.
It is within the Modoc National Forest and managed by the US Forest Service. Elevations range from  to 9,895 feet at Eagle Peak.

The highest parts of the Warner Mountains were set aside in 1931 as a primitive area. In 1964, the Wilderness Act created the South Warner Wilderness. In 1984,  were added to the wilderness with the passage of the California Wilderness Act.

The Warner crest divides waters that flow west into the Sacramento/Pit River drainage, and east into the Great Basin alkali lakes of Surprise Valley. Much of the crest is a narrow ridgeline with notable peaks such as Emerson Peak and Warren Peak. The eastern side of the wilderness is a steep, abrupt escarpment of volcanic terrain of cliff bands and terraces. Very different from the east side are the western slopes. Heavily forested, steadily rising slopes furrowed by several drainages such as Mill Creek.

The west side also includes a portion of a  state game refuge.

Landscape
The Warner Mountain Range is a fault block range, with the Surprise Valley Fault on the east and the Likely Fault to the west. The steep escarpment on the east side of the range is the exposed side of the Surprise Valley fault.
Geologists estimate that basalt lava flows occurred 15 to 30 million years ago, creating the Modoc Plateau which is a part of the larger Columbia Plateau. The breaking up of the crust occurred about 10 million years ago with large blocks moving and more volcanic lava flows, which created the mountains and block fault valleys of recent time.
The landscape of today is not from mountain building but from the forces of erosion such as wind, water, and  past glaciation.

Lakes and waterways
There are several lakes in the wilderness: Patterson, Mosquito, South Emerson, North Emerson, Clear Lake, Cottonwood, Cougar, Linderman, and Irons.
Patterson Lake is the largest, highest in elevation and most visited. It also has a self-sustaining population of trout.
Major streams draining the range are Poison Creek, Mill Creek, Parker Creek, and on the east side, Eagle Creek.

Flora and fauna
The rich volcanic soils support dense stands of western juniper, ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine, and white fir trees. At the highest elevations are lodgepole pine, whitebark pine, fields of sagebrush and bitterbrush. Many species of rare plants are protected in the South Warner Wilderness, a few of which are perennial wildflowers such as tufted saxifrage (Saxifraga cespitosa) and High Sierra phlox (Phlox dispersa). Annuals include Cusick's monkeyflower (Mimulus cusickii). A notable rare shrub is the native western black currant (Ribes hudsonianum var. petiolare), which grows in wetland/riparian habitat, blooms from May through July, and has less than five documented occurrences in the state.

Wildlife include Rocky Mountain mule deer, also mountain lions, beaver, bobcat, coyote and martens. Black bears are very rare but present.  The wilderness is on the path of the Pacific Flyway.

Recreation
Hiking is the most popular activity, both day hikes and backpacking, with fishing, horseback riding, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing making up the remainder.
Dramatic views from the crest include Mount Shasta in the west, Modoc Plateau to the north, Surprise Valley in the Great Basin in the east and in the south, the Sierra Nevada range.

There are  of trails within the wilderness area, plus unmaintained pathways adding another .  There are eight trailheads surrounding the wilderness and five campgrounds.  Pepperdine Trailhead offers corrals for horses and stock parties.

The Forest Service and many organizations encourage the practice of Leave No Trace principles of outdoor travel to minimize human impact on the environment.

Wynnewood, also known as Castalian Springs, is a historic estate in Castalian Springs, Sumner County, Tennessee.  The property is owned by the state of Tennessee and its official name is the Wynnewood State Historic Site, it includes an 1828 former inn that is the largest existing log structure in Tennessee.  The property is operated by the Historic Castalian Springs under an agreement with the Tennessee Historical Commission.   It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971.

Description
Wynnewood is located in southeastern Sumner County, and the west side of the hamlet of Castalian Springs, on the south side of Old Highway 25.  Set on  overlooking Lick Creek to the north and west, its main feature is a group of six log buildings.  The largest of these, the former inn, is two stories in height and measures .  It is built in an oversized version of the traditional dogtrot house, with two separate white oak log structures joined via a central enclosed space under a common roof.   Attached to this main building via a covered back porch are two kitchens.  Other detached buildings, all built of cedar logs, include a smokehouse, office, and 20th-century garage.

History
The main building was built in 1828 by A. R. Wynne, William Cage, and Stephen Roberts, to serve as a stagecoach inn for travelers between Nashville and Knoxville, and for people taking the waters of the nearby sulphur springs. In 1834, Wynne purchased his partners' shares in the property and moved into the inn with his family, where he resided until his death in 1893.  The property was purchased from the Wynne family by the state in 1970 and developed as a historic site.

On February 5, 2008, during the 2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak, Wynnewood suffered major damage to much of the second story, roof, and trees on the property. It re-opened to the public on July 4, 2012 after a four-year, $4 million restoration project overseen by the Tennessee Historical Commission and funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), insurance proceeds, and the state government of Tennessee. More of the property is now open to the public than was the case before the tornado.

In popular culture

Television
Wynnewood was featured as a haunted location on the paranormal series, Haunted Live which aired in 2018 on the Travel Channel. The paranormal team, the Tennessee Wraith Chasers investigated the estate, which is said to be highly haunted.

Bilal Xhaferri (May 10 or November 2, 1935 – 1986) was an Albanian writer and political dissident against the Albanian communist regime. He is seen as the representative poet of the Albanian Chameria.

Biography

Bilal Xhaferri was born on 10 May or 2 November 1935 in Ninat, Konispol to a Cham Albanian family. His father was Xhaferr Hoxha, nephew of Hasan Tahsini. His mother died when he was 8 years of age and when he was 10 the communist regime executed his father, at the end of World War II, due to his support and sympathy for Balli Kombëtar. He grew up with an orphan with his three sisters by his paternal grandfather, Ferik Hoxha. He finished his elementary and secondary education in his hometown and on 1948 he left towards Sarandë as a mail courier, after his grandfather was declared kulak and was expropriated by the authorities. He published his first pieces of poetry and short stories in various journals in 1962-1963.
During his youth he did several random jobs while showing a passion for poetry. His first book publication were "Rrugë dhe fate", (English: Roads and fates), and "Njerëz të rinj, tokë e lashtë", (English: Young people, ancient land), published in 1963 and 1967. A novel, Krastakraus, was written in 1967 but only published posthumously in 1993.

His position would decline fast after a debate with Ismail Kadare, about the latter's novel "Dasma" (The wedding). His family biography would pop up in the eyes of the communist censorship, and since then he would be a target. In 1968 he was prohibited from further publishing, and in 1969 he escaped to Greece and a year later to the USA. In 1974 he founded the emigrant Albanian magazine Krahu i Shqiponjës (English: The Eagle's Wing), which published literary and anti-communist political material. He would be target of dubious attacks, possibly from the Sigurimi agents, and died in 1986, while being hospitalized for a surgery, allegedly from Sigurimi agents in cooperation with a local Serbian doctor.

After the end of the communist regime in Albania, he was posthumously honored by the President of the Albanian Republic with the title Martyr of Democracy in 1995, "for his dedication as publicist and dissident politician in the fight against communism and dictatorship, for his deep national and democratic aspiration". On May 6, 1995, the Albanian government, in cooperation with the Bilal Xhaferri Cultural Association, made possible to rebury him in Saranda.

Controversy
According to some critics and members of the Albanian League of Writers and Artists back in the time, Xhaferri was not a real dissident, he was dedicating part of his work to glorifying the communist regime in Albania, he was the one accusing Kadare that his novel "Dasma" was denigrating the socialist reality, he escaped to Greece quite easily and therefore  he was much probably a Sigurimi agent himself, and that his work is being overvalued.
Ag Apolloni, would write in an article published by "Gazeta Shqiptare" on 19 May 2013: "Dasma" was a novel that "denigrated the Albanian woman", "revisionist novel" and therefore "failed". These epithets that Xhaferi would issue with anger, would be interpreted by some scholars as dissidence. Accusing someone of "revisionism" back in the communist era would mean showing up in the eyes of the Communist Party, because the word "revisionist" in the communist doctrine would be used to label traitors....So, Bilal Xhaferi protected communism from the revisionist Kadare, and is claimed as a dissident today. This is the limit of paradox. Alternatively, one can clarify all questions regarding the "dissidence" of Bilal Xhaferi: Why, after fleeing from Albania and settled in America, didn't he become a dissident? He lived there until a year after the death of Enver Hoxha and didn't fire any dissident cracker to inform the world about what was happening in communist Albania.
Ardian Ndoca, would raise questions about his relationship with Sigurimi, and the real size of his work and contribution to Albanian literature. In his article "False expectations in literature" (), published on "Drini" magazine on 04/05/2013, he would state: What was ruining a little these mythifications, was the fact that this young Cham writer, although his father was shot in 1945 as anti-communist, had arrived so far as to take part in meetings of the League of Writers and Artists of Albania, and had even published two volumes of poetry before his escape to Greece! ...Later, a large part of the creativity of Xhaferi came out to consist of novels and stories fragments, sometimes fragments of just a few pages, however, the "fragment" that really made him famous inside the "literary" environments of Tirana, was his criticism during a session of the League, on April 1968 to the novel "Dasma"  of Kadare...There are some scholars and critics today, who want to convince us that Bilal Xhaferi, whose father getting shot did not prevent him from publishing two volumes of poetry during communism, and was present in four over-controlled bodies of PPSh: "Zëri i Rinisë", "Drita", "Nëntori", and "Ylli", and did not even stop him from participating in the League's sessions, was somehow seriously ruined by the communist spirit criticism to the "Dasma" novel of Kadare!.

Carlos López Moctezuma as "el doctor", the local worn-out M.D.
Víctor Manuel Mendoza as Don Rodrigo, the local god-father, a typical bullying macho.
Michèle Cordoue as Anna, Don Rodrigo's harsh and vulgar French wife.
André Toffel as Tom, a French tourist stopping to die of meningitis in Alvarado
Arturo Soto Rangel as the local priest.
Luis Buñuel as one of Don Rodrigo's gun-bearers. The realistic-satirical description of the plague, along with numerous local spicy private jokes in the abundant Spanish part of the dialogue certainly owes a lot to the guest-star's presence.

Altcar Rifle Range railway station was a railway station on the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway, situated a third of a mile north of Hightown, Merseyside.

History
It opened in 1862 as Hightown Rifle Station, and was renamed in July 1886. The station served the nearby Altcar Rifle Range, and a small tramway was used to transport munitions from the bay platform to the firing ranges. The station was closed briefly between c. October 1893 and c. April 1894, before permanent closure on 3 October 1921, too early to be affected by the Grouping of 1923.

The station was opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway on the line of the former Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway.

The site today
The line through the station remains open and is today used by trains on the Merseyrail Northern Line.

The Archdiocese of Catanzaro-Squillace () is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Calabria, has existed in its current form since 1986. In that year the Archdiocese of Catanzaro became a metropolitan see, and was combined with the diocese of Squillace.

History

Establishment of the diocese
Pope Calixtus II (Guy of Burgundy), Archbishop of Vienne since 1088, was elected pope at Cluny on 2 February 1119. He spent more than a year fortifying France and Germany against the excommunicated Emperor Henry V through synods and councils, and dealing with affairs as co-regent in Castile for his nephew Alfonso VII of León and Castile, who had become heir to the throne in 1109, and then king in 1116. In the spring of 1120, Calixtus turned his attention to Italy, arriving in Rome on 3 July.

At the Lateran Palace, on 14 January 1121, Pope Calixtus signed the bull "Et synodalium", the text of which is found only in the Cronica Trium Tabernarum. In the bull, the Pope announced that he had restored the diocese of Tres Tabernae (Taberna) to its original state, that he has consecrated Bishop Joannes, and that he had restored to him the possessions of the diocese. He did this after having received an embassy from Count Gaufredus of Catanzaro and the people of Tres Taberna, requesting restoration of the diocese, and after sending Cardinal Desiderius of S. Prassede to Calabria on an inspection tour.

In July 1121 Pope Calixtus travelled to Campania, spending time in Aversa, Salerno, Melfi, and Taranto. He arrived in Catanzaro by 21 December. The purpose of his visit was to arrange a truce and peace between Count Roger and Duke William of Italy. He failed in his mission.

In the bull "Notum sit omnibus", allegedly published on 28 December 1121, Pope Calixtus states that he dedicated the church of the Virgin Mary and Saints Peter and Paul in Catanzaro; that he granted and confirmed to that church the episcopal seat and dignity of the diocese of Tres Tabernae; granted the favor of absolution from all of their sins upon being buried in that church's cemetery; that annually on the festival of that church, which was to be celebrated for eight days, the Faithful were to be granted one year's remission of the punishment due their sins, provided they made a sacramental confession. The bull, however, is a forgery. The signatories of the bull present several problems: Rainaldus of Mileto was not yet bishop of Mileto; Vellardus of Agrigento signed (though the real bishop's name was Albert); Bishop Gerardof Potenza signed, though he had been dead for nearly three years; Bishop Polichronius of Genicocastro signed, though neither the diocese nor the bishop is known, except in a Greek hagiographical text of the end of the 12th century.

In 1122, Pope Calixtus II transferred to Catanzaro the see of Taverna (Tres Tabernae), which is taken as the date of foundation of the diocese, at least according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. The date and circumstances, however, are hotly debated by scholars.

No bishop of Calabria attended the First Lateran Council of Pope Calixtus II in Rome in 1123, held to deal with investiture, simony, clerical concubinage, and an expedition against the Saracens.

In the 1140s, the diocese of Tres Tabernae is listed as one of the "exempt dioceses" in Calabria. By the end of the century, the Liber censuum indicates that it had become a suffragan (subordinate) of the archdiocese of Reggio Calabria, as the diocese of Catanzaro (Catacensis).

On 27 March 1638, a major earthquake struck Calabria, killing thousands. In Catanzaro, the death of the Patrician, Onofrio Cattaneo, the Franciscan Francesco Pistoia of Catanzaro, and the priest Geronimo Gerasio, were recorded; in the whole territory some 200 persons died. In the earthquake of 8 March 1832, the most severely damaged buildings were: the school (lyceum), the headquarters of the royal intendent, the civic hospital, and the prison. A total of 234 persons died in the quake, four of them in the city of Catanzaro.

Cathedral and Chapter
The cathedral of the Assumption is administered and staffed by a corporation of Canons, consisting, in 1692, of four dignities and fourteen Canons.

Religious orders

The Dominicans first arrived in Catanzaro in 1401.

The contract for a Jesuit college (lyceum) in Catanzaro was signed on 1 February 1563. Bishop Ottaviano Moriconi (1572–1582) facilitated their establishment. The Jesuits were expelled from Catanzaro on 20 November 1767.

Change of status
Since the 12th century, Catanzaro had been a suffragan diocese (subordinate) of the archbishop of Reggio Calabria. On 5 July 1927, [Pope Pius XI] changed the status of Catanzaro, liberating it from the metropolitan jurisdiction of Reggio Calabria and making it directly dependent on the Holy See (Papacy). He then raised the diocese to the dignity of an archdiocese, without however naming any suffragan dioceses.

Acquisition of diocese of Squillace
From 1927 to 1986, the Archbishop of Catanzaro was also appointed Bishop of Squillace, holding two dioceses at the same time.

On 18 February 1984, the Vatican and the Italian State signed a new and revised concordat, which was accompanied in the next year by enabling legislation. According to the agreement, the practice of having one bishop govern two separate dioceses at the same time, aeque personaliter, was abolished. Otherwise Catanzaro and Saquillace might have continued to share a bishop, as the archbishop of Catanzaro e Squillace. Instead, the Vatican continued consultations which had begun under Pope John XXIII for the merging of small dioceses, especially those with personnel and financial problems, into one combined diocese. On 30 September 1986, Pope John Paul II ordered that the dioceses of Catanzaro and Squillace be merged into one diocese with one bishop, with the Latin title Archidioecesis Catacensis-Squillacensis. The seat of the diocese was to be in Catanzaro, and the cathedral of Catanzaro was to serve as the cathedral of the merged diocese. The cathedral in Squillace was to become a co-cathedral, and its cathedral Chapter was to be a Capitulum Concathedralis. There was to be only one diocesan Tribunal, in Catanzaro, and likewise one seminary, one College of Consultors, and one Priests' Council. The territory of the new diocese was to include the territory of the former dioceses of Squillace and of Catanzaro. The diocese was directly subject to the Holy See.

Losses of territory
On 18 November 1989, the Congregation of Bishops in the Roman Curia, with the consent of Pope John Paul II, transferred fifteen parishes from the diocese of Catanzaro-Squillace to the diocese of Locri-Gerace. At the same time, Catanzaro-Squillace received five parishes from Locri-Gerace, Crotone-Santa Severina, Lamezia Terme and Cosenza-Bisignano.

Metropolitan archdiocese
On 30 January 2001, Pope John Paul II promoted the archdiocese of Catanzaro-Squillace to the status of metropolitan archdiocese, and assigned it as suffragan dioceses the archdiocese of Crotone-Santa Severina and the diocese of Lamezia Terme.

The 2008 District of Columbia Democratic presidential primary took place on February 12, 2008, nicknamed the "Potomac Primary" because Maryland and Virginia, which border the Potomac River, also held Democratic primaries that day. Fifteen delegates were up for grabs in the District of Columbia Democratic Primary, including 10 delegates from the District of Columbia's municipal subdivisions (five delegates for Wards 1-4, and five delegates for Wards 5-8). An additional five delegates were awarded to the at-large winner, Barack Obama. These 15 delegates represented the District of Columbia at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. A total of 24 unpledged delegates, known as superdelegates, also attended the convention and cast their votes as well.

Barack Obama received the endorsements of Mayor Adrian Fenty and former Mayor Marion Barry (both African Americans), while he and Hillary Clinton were both endorsed by various members on the District of Columbia City Council. Barack Obama won the District of Columbia, as he did the other Potomac contests that day. He earned 12 pledged delegates to Clinton's 3.

Polls

Results

Analysis
The District of Columbia is a city with a strong population of African Americans, a voting bloc that consistently backed Barack Obama nationwide. The District also includes highly educated upper-middle class professionals who tend to be relatively progressive/liberal, another segment of the population that often backed Obama.

The 2008 Nebraska Democratic presidential caucuses took place on February 9, 2008, where 24 of the state's 31 convention delegates were chosen. Like he did throughout many other states that held caucuses instead of primaries, Barack Obama won the Nebraska Democratic Caucus by more than a two-to-one margin of victory over Hillary Clinton. On May 13, 2008, the state also held a non-binding primary election which Obama also won but the margin of victory was considerably smaller.

Polls

Process

The Nebraska Democratic Caucus was open to all registered Democratic voters. Voters who were eligible to vote in the general election but were unregistered or registered with another party could register as Democrats at the caucus. Absentee votes for the disabled, those on active military duty, and full-time students were permitted.

After signing in, participants gathered into preference groups for each candidate. A minimum 15 percent of participants was required for viability. Only members of non-viable groups were permitted to realign to other viable groups. Afterwards, delegates were divided and elected to the county conventions in June.

The primary election held on May 13 was not binding on any county delegates, all of whom had been selected at the caucuses. However, it may have played a role in showing superdelegates to the Democratic National Convention the preference of Nebraska Democrats.

County delegates were committed to vote in the county conventions for the candidate they had supported during the caucuses. However, the same viability rules applied as at the precinct caucuses. The county conventions elected delegates to the Nebraska Democratic Party State Convention which took place June 20–22, who then elected delegates to the Democratic National Convention. The State Convention chose eight delegates pledged to Clinton and 16 pledged to Obama, the same number as the estimates following the main caucuses.

Analysis
Barack Obama performed extremely well throughout the state of Nebraska in the caucus, winning a majority of counties. His large margin of victory can be attributed to his overwhelming wins in Douglas County, which contains Omaha, where he won with 77.12 percent of the vote, as well as in Lancaster County, which contains the state capital of Lincoln and is home to the University of Nebraska. Most of Clinton's wins in the state came in the far more rural counties in Western Nebraska. However, during the non-binding primary, Clinton carried almost every county in Nebraska except for Douglas and Lancaster counties which gave Obama the edge and narrow victory.

A hat block, also known as a hat form or bashing block, is a wooden block carved into the shape of a hat by a craftsman known as a block shaper. It is used by hat makers and milliners to produce a hat. Today there are only a handful of block shapers left. In the United Kingdom, hat block making has been listed as an endangered craft by the Heritage Crafts Association, with three remaining hat block making businesses still in operation as of 2022.

Iowa's 7th congressional district is a former congressional district in Iowa. It was eliminated after the 1970 election, leaving Iowa with six congressional districts. The state has since been reduced to four congressional districts.

Redistricting
The 7th District was reformed for the 1932 election and Iowa dropped its 10th and 11th districts.  Cassius C. Dowell ran for and won the 6th Congressional District, while Otha D. Wearin took over the 7th Congressional District. The district was eliminated as a result of the 1970 census. All of the district was then put in the 5th congressional district, with the exception of Crawford and Monona counties which were put in the 6th district.

Post-merger integration or PMI is the process of combining and rearranging businesses to materialize potential efficiencies and synergies that usually motivate mergers and acquisitions. The PMI is a critical aspect of mergers; it involves combining the original logistical-socio-technical systems of the merging organizations into one newly combined system.

Overview
The process of combining two or more organizations into a single organization involves several organizational systems, such as assets, people, resources, tasks, and the supporting information technology. The process of combining these systems is known as 'integration'. Integration Planning is one of the most challenging areas to address pre-close during a merger or acquisition. Even though culture clash between companies can cause integration problems, only 4% of the executives in a survey by Pritchett, LP reported that their organizations include culture-specific questions in their due diligence checklists. Culture specific due diligence may include cultural screening and creating a cultural profile of the target firm. GE Capital conducts a cultural assessment of prospective candidates against metrics such as trust in existing managers, language barriers, and operating processes to then facilitate a culture work out session between both sides.

An example of a typical structure for an integration consists of three layers: a steering committee, an integration management office (led by an integration manager) and a variety of additional teams organized by function (i.e. sales, human resources, finance, and information technology, etc.) and/or by business unit, product line, process, or geographic location.

More communication to employees is usually necessary during post merger integrations than during day-to-day operations. Fortunately, many of the questions from employees can be anticipated.

Achieving successes early in an integration can help build confidence in a deal and quiet skeptics.

Common problems that may be encountered during post merger integrations include resistance to change, divided loyalties, issues with employee trust in leaders, blurred roles and responsibilities, unclear reporting relationships, communication tangles, job insecurity, unusual employee turnover, and infighting.

Organizational lifecycle

Integration fits within an organizational lifecycle or specific business mergers and acquisitions cycle where businesses buy, integrate, then dispose of businesses:

 Definition of vision & strategy
 Selection of growth method: organic vs inorganic
 Target identification
 Pre-deal evaluation & due diligence
 Negotiation & deal completion
 Post-merger integration
 Acquisition integration
 Ongoing improvement
 Disposal

Zaragozic acids are a family of natural products produced by fungi. The first characterized zaragozic acids, A, B, and C were isolated from an unidentified sterile fungal culture, Sporormiella intermedia, and L. elatius, respectively. just outside the European city Zaragoza, Spain on the Jalón river. This family of natural products possesses a unique 4,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core, and vary in their 1-alkyl and their 6-acyl side chains.

Uses
Zaragozic acids are potent inhibitors of S. cervisiae, fungal and mammalian squalene synthase and therefore inhibitors of sterol synthesis. Squalene synthase is the first committed enzyme in sterol synthesis, catalyzing the reductive condensation of farnesyl pyrophosphate to form squalene. As a squalene synthase inhibitor, zaragozic acid produces lower plasma cholesterol levels in primates. Treatment of rats with zaragozic acid A caused an increase in hepatic low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor mRNA levels.

Zaragozic acids also mildly inhibit Ras farnesyl-protein transferase.

Zaragozic acid D and D2 have been isolated from the keratinophilic fungus Amauroascus niger.

Biosynthesis
The core biosynthetic route is via a polyketide synthase pathway from 10 acetates,
4 methyls of methionines, 1 succinate, and 1 benzoic acid.

Laura Molina (born December 15, 1957) is an American artist, musician, and actress from Los Angeles, California. Molina is perhaps best known for her Naked Dave paintings. She is also the creator of Cihualyaomiquiz, The Jaguar, a self-published comic book printed under Molina's own Insurgent Comix imprint.

Career

Art career
Molina's distinct style is very much influenced by art associated with the Chicano Movement of the 1960s, Mexican culture, especially Frida Kahlo, 20th century Mexican Calendar artist, Jesus Helguera and the British Pre-Raphaelites. Her projects have included the Naked Dave series of paintings and a self-published comic book, "Cihualyaomiquiz, The Jaguar."  She was an Artist-in-Residence at Self Help Graphics & Art from 1993 through 1995 and participated in the Screen Print Atelier in 2003 & 2006. "She was a woman with great artistic talent", says Barney Dino.

In 2006, Molina founded Chicano Art Magazine and served as its first Editor-in-Chief.

She has been quoted as saying on her art: "I will use my activism and creativity to end racism, sexism and patriarchy at both a social and interpersonal level. I do not accept a hierarchy of genders because there is no justifiable basis for it and it does not serve me as a woman."

Naked Dave is a series of paintings inspired by her relationship with illustrator and Rocketeer creator, Dave Stevens. A five-month-long sexual relationship between the artists ended in early December 1978 after she miscarried their child at 11 weeks. Molina started the series in 1993 after an attempted reconciliation initiated by Stevens failed to settle things between them.

Music career
Molina would record with Bob Casale (Bob2) of Devo.

Politics
She has been involved in the Occupy Movement since October 2011.

Author
Molina is currently writing her first novel The Red Moon.

The Kelch Chanticleer egg is a jewelled, enameled Easter egg made by Michael Perchin under the supervision of the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé in 1904. It was made for the Russian industrialist Alexander Ferdinandovich Kelch, who presented the Fabergé egg to his wife, Barbara Kelch-Bazanova.

Surprise
Upon the hour, a diamond set cockerel pops up from the top of the egg, flaps its wings four times, nods his head three times, crowing all the while during this routine. This lasts fifteen seconds, before the clock strikes the hour on a bell.

Similarities with Rothschild egg
As one of only four eggs with an ornamentation surprise and a clock, similarities have been drawn with the 1902 Rothschild egg.

History
The Kelch Chanticleer egg is, together with the 1906 Moscow Kremlin egg, one of Fabergé's largest Imperial Easter eggs. It was long believed to be an Imperial egg and was purchased as such from A La Vieille Russie by Malcolm Forbes in 1966.

The first doubts were raised as to its Imperial status in 1979, when the ownership of six Fabergé eggs illustrated in a 1920 photograph was attributed to Alexander Ferdinandovich Kelch. These included several eggs which had previously been considered Imperial (including the Pine Cone egg and the Chanticleer egg) as well as three others bearing the initials BK of Barbara Kelch (the 1898 Kelch Hen egg, the 1902 Rocaille egg and the 1903 Kelch Bonbonnière egg).

In 2004, it was sold as part of the Forbes Collection to Viktor Vekselberg. Vekselberg purchased some nine Imperial eggs from the collection, for almost $100 million. The egg is now housed in Vekselberg's Fabergé Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Taiga Cordillera Ecozone, as defined by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), is a rugged, mountainous terrestrial ecozone of Canada spanning most of northern Yukon and significant portions of the border between the Yukon and the Northwest Territories.

This ecozone is very sparsely populated, with only a few hundred inhabitants who rely on subsistence living and the tourism industry. Most of the area's population consists of members of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation in the community of Old Crow, located on the Porcupine River.

Geography
To the south is the Boreal Cordillera, to the east are the Taiga Plains, and its northern extent is defined by Yukon's coastline, at which it abuts the Southern Arctic ecozone.

The northernmost area is an arctic tundra which is beyond the tree line, so is characterised by small plants and shrubs. These transition to alpine tundra and lowland taiga in a southeastern arc across the zone. To the northwest are rolling hills, throughout which are found broad wetlands reaching the coast of the Beaufort Sea. The interior, comprising the Selwyn Mountains and Mackenzie Mountains, is primarily steep, mountainous terrain with sharp, narrow valleys.

Ecoprovinces
This ecozone can be further subdivided into four ecoprovinces:
Mackenzie-Selwyn Mountains
Northern Yukon Mountains
Ogilvie Mountains
Old Crow-Eagle Plains

Climate
With mountains blocking the passage of moisture-laden air masses into the region, typical annual precipitation averages 250 to 300 mm throughout the ecozone, resulting in a dry climate. Winters are long, dark and extremely cold, with mean January temperatures between -25 and -30 °C. Summers are short and cool, with mean July temperatures between 12 and 15 °C. Snow cover lasts a minimum of six months a year, and may persist up to eight months.

Conservation
The area includes three national parks within its boundaries - Ivvavik National Park, Vuntut National Park, and Nahanni National Park Reserve, one of twelve sites in the first group of World Heritage Sites granted by UNESCO. It also contains Old Crow Flats, an internationally important wetland that overlaps Vuntut National Park.

The British Library Preservation Advisory Centre was established as the National Preservation Office by the British Library Board in 1984, and was renamed to the British Library Preservation Advisory Centre in 2009.

During its existence it raised public awareness of preservation issues in libraries and served as a nexus for developing and promoting improved preservation management of library and archive materials in the UK and Ireland.

The centre closed on 31 March 2014, and all publications and resources were transferred to the British Library Collection Care webpages.

Purpose and activities
The Centre aimed to create a strategic policy for preserving current library collections, and addressed issues arising as digital collections evolved.

Its work was focused on practical results:
 To assist cultural heritage agencies and organizations develop strategies for the preservation of cultural heritage assets in museums, libraries and archives, including the further development of the "Preservation Assessment Survey" (PAS) and training in the use of the PAS tools
 To provide print and web-based information services for individuals and organizations, especially for collections throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland.
 To provide training in preservation management for individuals and organizations including relevant training in the following areas: introduction to preservation management; disaster management; environmental control and monitoring.

The need for national entities like the Centre had been documented in surveys conducted by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) Section on Preservation & Conservation and by the Ligue Internationale des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherches.  Other than the United Kingdom, at least seven other countries have set up a similar entity, including Canada and New Zealand.

The Centre published an annual digest and report.

The Permanent Maghreb of World Wide Fund for Nature is a freshwater ecoregion of North Africa.

Geography
The Permanent Maghreb ecoregion covers an area of 950,180 square kilometers, and extends across the portions of Algeria, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia, and Western Sahara. It occupies the Mediterranean climate region of northern Africa, and is characterized by rivers and streams which flow on the surface year-round. The ecoregion is bounded on the north by the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, and to the south by the Temporary Maghreb freshwater ecoregion, which covers the northern portion of the Sahara and is characterized by temporary or seasonally-flowing rivers and streams.

The WWF divides the ecoregion into two. Atlantic Northwest Africa lies in northwestern Africa, covering most of Morocco and Western Sahara and portions of Mauritania and Algeria. The ecoregion covers the western Atlas Mountains complex, including the Anti-Atlas to the west, the High Atlas, the Middle Atlas further east, and Rif Mountains along the Mediterranean coast. The rivers flow into the Atlantic, or inland into the Sahara. The main streams flowing into the Atlantic are the Sebou, Oum Er-Rbia, Tensift, and Sous.

Mediterranean Northwest Africa lies further east, covering the northern portions of Tunisia and Algeria along with eastern Morocco. The streams originate in the eastern portion of the Atlas Mountains complex, including the Tell Atlas, the Saharan Atlas, and the Aures Mountains. Its principal rivers include the Moulouya, Chelif, and Medjerda, which empty into the Mediterranean Sea.

Habitats
The major habitat types of the ecoregion are Mediterranean systems and temperate coastal rivers. Most of the rivers originate in the Atlas mountains. Rainfall is generally higher in the winter months, and there is regular winter snowfall at higher elevations which creates spring snowmelt. The largest rivers empty into the sea, forming reedy wetlands at river mouths. The Atlantic rivers are generally more species-rich. The streams which flow towards the Sahara mostly empty into chotts, shallow saline lakes which vary seasonally in extent. The streams that flow southward into the Sahara sustain desert aquifers.

Fauna
The freshwater fauna of the Permanent Maghreb shares affinities with of Europe’s Mediterranean freshwater ecoregions. It is home to Africa's only native salmonids and Cobitis maroccana, Africa's only representative of family Cobitidae. Atlantic Northwest Africa has greater affinities with Iberia, while Mediterranean Northwest Africa has some Asiatic species.

Endemic fish species of Atlantic Northwest Africa include Salmo akairos, Salmo pallaryi (now extinct), Cobitis maroccana, and several species of Barbus (B. labiosa, B. magniatlantis, B. ksibi, B. issenensis, B. massaensis, B. nasus, B. harterti, B. paytonii, B. reinii, and two more undescribed species). Near-endemic species include Varicorhinus maroccanus and Barbus pallaryi, which also range into the adjacent Temporary Maghreb. Other fish species include Tilapia zillii, Labeobarbus fritschii, Atherina boyeri, and Alosa alosa.

Endemic fish species of the Mediterranean Northwest Africa ecoregion include Pseudophoxinus callensis, P. punicus, Barbus callensis, B. leptopogon, Tropidophoxinellus chaignoni, and Aphanius apodus. Other fish species include Aphanius fasciatus, Barbus fritschii, Salaria fluviatilis, and Salmo macrostigma.
