"How Can Heaven Love Me" is a 1995 single by soprano Sarah Brightman and Chris Thompson, from her album Fly.

Andrew Eldritch from Sisters of Mercy provided the vocals for the German interlude in the song. This is the first of two collaborations with Chris Thompson; the second being the single version of "Where the Lost Ones Go" in 2007.

The original 1995 release of the album features a 'softer' version of the song, however the 1996 re-issue includes the video version.

In Brightman's Diva Video collection, she mentions that when director David Mallet was making a video for this song, he wrecked his leg and sat on a wheelchair.

Music video
This starts with Sarah Brightman running and dancing around the dungeon while the camcorders and lights focus on her dropping on the floor. She next appears as an angel sitting on the side of the bed the friars carry with a background of stars and clouds and puts up a big red and black pennant surrounded by about four torches. She watches Chris Thompson on the big screen and they both are revealed being handcuffed together. She hangs on to a tree blown in the wind that blows away the leaves and the long grass, appears in a red Mandarin dress that sparkles standing underneath the entrance and pulls up the ropes that connect the red rubber with water wearing a latex suit of the same color. She also appears as a construction girl in front of the metal fence and she, except her arms, is still tied up to the chair in ribbons under the light having her face unwrapped while he broadcasts on the radio station inquiring in German. She then appears as a countess holding the English dogs on the leashes with a quick scene where she has been locked up in jail even when she is portrayed an innocent lady. This ends with all scenes cutting rapidly with footages from the 1940s and 1950s, portraying scenes of Stalin's USSR and the Cold War terror.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Robert Mordaunt Foster,  (3 September 1898 – 23 October 1973) was a Royal Flying Corps pilot in the First World War, and a senior commander in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War and the immediate post-war years.

Early life and First World War
Foster was educated at Winchester College and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, graduating as a Gentlemen Cadet. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Royal Fusiliers on 19 July 1916, but was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps, and on 7 October 1916 was appointed a flying officer. He was sent to France to join No. 54 Squadron flying the Sopwith Camel. While with 54 Squadron, Foster shot down at least one enemy machine. Later in the war Foster returned to Great Britain, carrying out home defence duties whilst serving with No. 44 Squadron. On 19 January 1918 he was promoted to lieutenant. In April 1918, Foster returned to France, serving as a flight commander with the rank of temporary captain from 15 May, in No. 209 Squadron where he claimed three shared enemy aircraft captured, nine shared enemy aircraft destroyed, and four shared enemy aircraft 'out of control', giving a total of 16.

On 2 August 1918 Foster was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, his citation reading:

Inter-war years
On 1 August 1919 Foster was granted a permanent commission in the Royal Air Force with the rank of lieutenant, resigning his commission in the Royal Fusiliers the same day. In late 1919 he was posted to India where he joined No. 20 Squadron as a pilot. On one occasion during his nearly four years in India, after suffering an aircraft fire, Foster and his observer had to make a forced landing and they were subsequently captured and held for three weeks before being released.

On 1 January 1924 he was promoted from flying officer to flight lieutenant.

In May 1925 Foster attended the RAF Staff College and the following year he spent several months at the School of Oriental Studies in London. After this period of study, Foster spent the remainder of the 1920s carrying out intelligence duties at the headquarters of RAF Iraq Command.

From 1930 Foster once again served as a pilot, this time with No. 70 Squadron. After promotion to squadron leader in December 1932, Foster took up the post of Officer Commanding No. 15 Squadron the next year. In 1935, Foster returned to Iraq, serving on the air staff at the British Forces headquarters where he received promotion to wing commander on 1 July 1937. His last tour before the outbreak of the Second World War was in the Deputy Directorate of Plans on the Air Staff.

Second World War
Only days after war was declared, Foster was posted as the Senior Personnel Officer at the headquarters of No. 2 Group.  Late 1939 saw Foster appointed Officer Commanding No. 110 Squadron, and in 1940 he was the Station Commander at RAF Wyton.

In January 1942 Foster took up command of No. 214 Group, part of Middle East Command, based at Kirkuk, Iraq, and in November that year he received an acting promotion to air commodore and was posted as Air Officer Commanding (AOC) No. 213 Group based at Aley, Lebanon. From March 1943, Foster was engaged in staff duties at Mediterranean Air Command before being appointed AOC RAF Malta a year later and receiving acting promotion to air vice marshal. Later in 1944 he served as Head of the Air Commission in Italy which effectively granted him command of the Italian Air Force.  Foster did not spend long as Head of the Air Commission, being posted as AOC Desert Air Force in North Africa in December.

Following the defeat of the Germany, from August 1945, Foster served on the Allied Commission for Austria as the Chief of the Air Division. Only days later the post became AOC RAF Austria.

Post-war years
In May 1946 Foster returned to Italy as the AOC at the air headquarters of RAF Italy.  However, only two months later he was appointed AOC of No. 3 Group of Bomber Command.

From early 1947 to late 1949 Foster was Assistant Chief of the Air Staff (Policy) and he then held the post of Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Reserve Command.  On 1 July 1950 he was promoted to Air Marshal and then, following the renaming of his command, served as Air Officer Commander-in-Chief Home Command.

In October 1951, Foster became Commander-in-Chief of the RAF's Second Tactical Air Force in post-war Germany.  He was promoted to Air Chief Marshal on 28 January 1953 and he handed over command to Sir Harry Broadhurst in December that year.

Foster retired from the RAF at his own request on 1 February 1954. He became a Deputy Lieutenant of Suffolk in April 1968, living in Great Glemham until his death on 23 October 1973.

Patrick L. Kessler (March 17, 1922 – May 25, 1944) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II.

Biography
Kessler joined the Army from his birthplace of Middletown, Ohio in September 1942, and by May 23, 1944, was serving as a private first class in Company K, 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division. On that day, near Ponte Rotto, Italy, he single-handedly charged two German positions, a machine gun nest and a strongpoint, and captured sixteen German soldiers, including two snipers. Kessler was killed in action two days later and, on January 4, 1945, posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions near Ponte Rotto.

Kessler, aged 22 at his death, was buried at Woodside Cemetery in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio.

Medal of Honor citation
Private First Class Kessler's official Medal of Honor citation reads:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at risk of life above and beyond the call of duty. Pfc. Kessler, acting without orders, raced  through a hail of machinegun fire, which had killed 5 of his comrades and halted the advance of his company, in order to form an assault group to destroy the machinegun. Ordering 3 men to act as a base of fire, he left the cover of a ditch and snaked his way to a point within  of the enemy machinegun before he was discovered, whereupon he plunged headlong into the furious chain of automatic fire. Reaching a spot within  of the emplacement he stood over it and killed both the gunner and his assistant, jumped into the gun position, overpowered and captured a third German after a short struggle. The remaining member of the crew escaped, but Pfc. Kessler wounded him as he ran. While taking his prisoner to the rear, this soldier saw 2 of his comrades killed as they assaulted an enemy strongpoint, fire from which had already killed 10 men in the company. Turning his prisoner over to another man, Pfc. Kessler crawled  to the side of 1 of the casualties, relieved him of his BAR and ammunition and continued on toward the strongpoint,  distant. Although 2 machineguns concentrated their fire directly on him and shells exploded within , bowling him over, Pfc. Kessler crawled , passing through an antipersonnel minefield to a point within  of the enemy and engaged the machineguns in a duel. When an artillery shell burst within a few feet of him, he left the cover of a ditch and advanced upon the position in a slow walk, firing his BAR from the hip. Although the enemy poured heavy machinegun and small arms fire at him, Pfc. Kessler succeeded in reaching the edge of their position, killed the gunners, and captured 13 Germans. Then, despite continuous shelling, he started to the rear. After going , Pfc. Kessler was fired upon by 2 snipers only  away. Several of his prisoners took advantage of this opportunity and attempted to escape; however, Pfc. Kessler hit the ground, fired on either flank of his prisoners, forcing them to cover, and then engaged the 2 snipers in a fire fight, and captured them. With this last threat removed, Company K continued its advance, capturing its objective without further opposition. Pfc. Kessler was killed in a subsequent action.

KAGJ (88.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a variety format. Licensed to Ephraim, Utah, United States, the station is currently owned by Snow College.

History

Snow College's early and sporadic efforts in radio included the first noncommercial FM station in the state of Utah, though its broadcasts were intermittent due to funding and administrative issues. Later, the school obtained 10-watt KEPH, which broadcast on 89.5 MHz between 1971 and 1978. More than a decade later, Snow College received another station on the same frequency, and on April 4, 1994, KAGJ went on the air.
In 2011, the station moved to 88.9 and relocated its tower to a mountain, resulting in a much larger coverage area that included Gunnison.

The Intergovernmental Conference on the Common Market and Euratom was held in Brussels and started on 26 June 1956 with a session in the Grand Salon of the Belgian Foreign Ministry. The negotiations went on at the Château of Val-Duchesse in Auderghem (Brussels) and would continue until March 1957. The conference was held to draft the Treaties establishing the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC or Euratom). The conference built on the results of the Spaak Report of the Spaak Committee and the decision taken at the Venice Conference to prepare the plan for the establishment of a common market and the establishment of a European Community for the peaceful use of atomic energy.

The conference was headed by Paul-Henri Spaak, Belgian Foreign Minister, the heads of the delegations from the six European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) were Lodovico Benvenuti (Italy), Count Jean Charles Snoy et d'Oppuers (Belgium), Karl Friedrich Ophüls (Federal Republic of Germany), Maurice Faure (France), Johan Linthorst Homan (Netherlands) and Lambert Schaus (Luxembourg).

Common market
The basic principle of the common market was agreed upon by the six ECSC members, but there was wide disagreement about the procedures for its implementation. Both Germany and the three Benelux countries, with their export-oriented economies, favoured economic liberalism and wanted to reduce custom duties in order to lower the barriers for trade between the participating countries. On the other side stood France and Italy, with their less competitive economies, which were primarily in favour of a mechanism for market regulation and a certain amount of protection for external competition. France wanted some way to include its African colonial in the forthcoming European common market. The participants of the conference could not reach a satisfactory agreement on a common agricultural policy, but the outcome of the conference provided for improvement in productivity, self-sufficiency in food for the community and the establishment of an adequate income for farmers.

Euratom
The negotiations on Euratom were complicated by the French opposition against any power of Euratom on the military use of nuclear power that might hinder the acquisition of nuclear weapons for France. France wanted to share the cost of the development of civil nuclear research with Euratom, which would free financial resources for its own military nuclear research. Although the other countries were reluctant to accept that stance, in the end they agreed to leave the military use of nuclear research out of the treaty, subject to international controls. The US also opposed the emergence of an independent European nuclear force.

The Suez crisis of 1956, which exposed the vulnerability of Europe regarding its energy supplies had an influence on the negotiations.

Outcome
The conference would lead to the Treaties of Rome being signed on 25 March 1957. They established the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) among the members of the ECSC.

Juan Rejón (died 1481) was an Aragonese captain in the service of the Castilian navy, who was appointed by the Catholic Monarchs to participate in the conquest of the Canary Islands. Rejón founded the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

After being named captain, he recruited a contingent of 600 men, mostly Andalusians. Their number included Alonso Fernández de Lugo, future conqueror of La Palma and Tenerife.

From the Puerto de Santa María, the expedition departed on three ships on 28 May 1478. On 24 June 1478, they disembarked off Las Isletas (today part of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria). Rejón set up camp at a nearby palm grove; this became the nucleus of the city of Las Palmas. Tension and problems with his men, including one of his followers, named Bermúdez, resulted in Rejón being imprisoned and then sent back to Spain by his replacement as governor of Gran Canaria, Pedro de Algaba.

Rejón was taken in chains to the Castilian court. However, he obtained his liberty, returned to the Canary Islands, and ordered the decapitation of Pedro de Algaba and the exile of Bermúdez to the island of Lanzarote.

In 1480, he participated in military operations on the island of La Gomera, not fully conquered by the Castilians. He disembarked with his troops at Hermigua with two goals: to complete conquest of the island and to meet with Hernán Peraza, the feudal lord of La Gomera. However, Peraza considered Rejón, a commander with many troops operating in territory not controlled by Castile, as a threat to his own power. Peraza sent his own troops to Hermigua. In 1481, Rejón was murdered by one of the vassals of Peraza.

Peraza was forced to explain Rejón's death at court. He was pardoned but had to meet certain conditions. He had to participate in the conquest of Gran Canaria with troops from La Gomera and complete conquest of the island, a plan that had not been completed by Rejón. Peraza himself was later killed by the Guanche Hautacuperche.

Mini Israel () is a miniature park located near Latrun, Israel in the Ayalon Valley. Opened in November 2002, the site contains miniature replicas of hundreds of buildings and landmarks in Israel. The tourist attraction consists of about 350 miniaturize models of notable buildings. The scale of 1:25 produces skyscrapers that tower over an adult and historic churches taller than a child.

Overview
The permanent exhibition shows the main sites and structures in Israel of importance to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The sites are of historical, archeological, cultural, religious, and ethnic importance, depicting the sites and the ethnic groups associated with them, such as different Muslim cultural groups, Jews and Christians living in the country, but also Druze, Bedouin and others. The signs are in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. 95% of the visitors are Israeli.

The complex covers 60,000 square metres (14.8 acres), with the models displayed over 35,000 sq m (8.6 acres). The park also includes a souvenir shop, a few restaurants and rest areas, and a hall for lectures and meetings in which a film about the creation of the park is displayed. An audio guide and motorised buggies are available.

History

The slogan since its inception has been "See it all - small". The designers, architects and model builder team consisted of over 100 people from all parts of Israeli society and religions, including many new immigrants from the former USSR. The park was the brainchild of Israeli entrepreneur Eiran Gazit who conceived the idea after visiting the famous miniature town of Madurodam in the Netherlands in 1986. Delayed by the First Intifada, Gazit began plans to build the park in 1994. The park was created by Gazit and his partners, with Yoni Shapira serving as creative and marketing director, Mike Madeson in charge of international projects, and Koby Plashkes as technical director. It was funded mainly by two large investing groups: Granite HaCarmel and Secom of the Shikun Ubinui Group. It cost $20 million USD, with 15% of the funding coming from the Israel Tourism Office. The park was built on land owned by Kibbutz Nachshon. It had 350,000 visitors in its first nine months of opening. A Google Street View of Mini Israel was completed in November 2011, becoming active on April 19, 2012.

The models
The park consists of about 350 buildings and landmarks, 30,000 figures, 500 animals, plants and 15,000 real trees, 4,700 cars, 100 motorbikes, 14 trains, 3 helicopters, 32 aircraft, 175 ships and 230 trucks. All trees are real bonsai cultivated and planted by Agronomy nursery. The park is loosely shaped like a star of David, with each of the six triangles representing an area or city: Jerusalem; Tel Aviv; Haifa; Galil; Negev; Center. Models were created in workshops spread throughout Israel using sophisticated computerized evaluations, based on research prepared by Mini Israel staff.

Most of the buildings were built in the scale of 1:25. Exceptions are Nahalal  - 1:250; Orot Rabin power station - 1:50; walls of Jerusalem and Acre reduced to 1:50 leaving their height at 1:25; Knesset Menorah -  1:15

The models are made of polyurethane or similar polymeric materials, and small stones. They were painted with waterproof paint for resistance to weather conditions. Many of the models include kinetic moving parts such as trains, planes, a soccer game, heavy equipment, boats, etc.

Mass grave
On the grounds of the park is the unmarked mass grave of about 80 Egyptian commandos who were killed nearby during the 1967 Six-Day War. The commanders included 25 who burnt to death in a wild fire. An attempt to publish this information in the 1990s was forbidden by the military censor, but the suppression order was lifted in 2022.

KBDX (92.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format. Licensed to Blanding, Utah, United States, the station is currently owned by William Boyle, through licensee San Juan Record Inc, and features programming from  ABC Radio - Classic Oldies.

During August 2008, KBDX was simulcasting a radio station from Truro, Massachusetts known as WGTX. KBDX could be heard broadcasting "Dunes 102", which is WGTX's slogan. WGTX received calls from listeners in Utah who were confused and thought they had heard a radio phenomenon known as E-skip.

KBDX now operates with its own dominant Red Rock 92 format, with ABC news on the hour and a meteorologist. The Red Rock format is a blend of 1970s and 80s pop hits, and is the only format of its kind in the Four Corners.

It has a very wide coverage area from south of Shiprock, New Mexico, and can be easily heard north of Moab, Utah. The station has two full power local translators, one in Moab, Utah (101.5 FM) and the other in Cortez, Colorado (96.1 FM). FCC information reports the transmitter is located at over 11,000 feet on "Abajo Peak" just west of Monticello, Utah, giving it a formidable coverage footprint.

Husband for Hire is a 2008 comedy television film that premiered on Oxygen Network on January 24, 2008. Husband for Hire was written and directed by Kris Isacsson, and it starred Nadine Velazquez, Tempestt Bledsoe, Mark Consuelos, Erik Estrada and Mario Lopez.

Cast

Synopsis

Lola (Nadine Velazquez) attempts to gain her father's trust fund (her father got rich after winning over $90 Million in the New Mexico state lottery years ago) by hiring a hispanic husband, Bo (Mark Consuelos), offering him $100,000 per year if he marries her. Bo accepts, and then departs from his Texas home and returns with Lola to her home in New Mexico. Lola finds out he is in fact Caucasian. Lola's best friend, Nina (Tempestt Bledsoe), and Bo's brother (Jayce Bartok) join the trip, as does Bo's girlfriend, Nikki (Erin Ross), and her clumsy friend, Bubble (Kate Micucci), in secret.

When introduced to Bo, Lola's father, Victor (Erik Estrada),  refuses to allow them to get married, until Bo convinces him by playing an antique guitar. In the meantime, Lola's ex-fiancé, Marco (Mario López), and his secret girlfriend, Simona (Rosa Arredondo), who is also Lola's sister, trying to keep her from having the inheritance, plot against Lola in order to gain the trust fund for themselves. Throughout the course of the story, Lola and Bo actually fall for each other. However, after Simona discovers Bo and Lola have a plot of their own, she uses Nikki to ruin the plot. However, before Nikki could do any damage, Victor and Bo get into an argument, which has both Lola and her father kick Bo out. In response, Lola's ex-fiancé is able to win back Lola's heart, but Lola only agrees for the money.

Later that night, Nikki and Bo discover Simona and Marco's plot and are consequently held prisoner, so they may not warn anyone. However, Bubble finds Nikki and Bo, frees them, and Bo is able to warn Lola. Still angry about the previous night, Lola kicks Bo out once more and proceeds to marry for the money. Fortunately for her, she trusts Bo's words and turns the tables on Simona and Marco, and also turns down the money from her father and departs, claiming that money and greed ruined the family long before that day. She realizes that she was allowing herself to slowly turn into a selfish and greedy person like her father and she sees how she may have been doomed to turn into him. If she didn't wise up and decides to break away from him once and for all.

At the end of the film, Bo is working as a bartender, where Lola manages to find him. They reconcile and show their love for each other once again, and they remain together and happy.

WCFR is an AM radio station licensed to Springfield, Vermont. It broadcasts a classic hits format with 5,000 watts during the day. Programming is also simulcast on translator W293BH, 106.5 FM. The station carries Boston Red Sox baseball from the Red Sox Radio Network, and the Boston Bruins Radio Network.

History
WCFR was started in 1954 as WNIX. It was purchased by Vermont broadcasting legend Carlos Zezza in the 1950s, renaming the station for the first initials of Zezza's three children in 1957. WCFR enjoyed many years as a successful music station.

Zezza sold WCFR to Sconnix in 1974, who changed the format from Top-40 to adult contemporary. Zezza's son Frank led a group that purchased the station back from Sconnix in the early 1980s. By this time, WCFR's popularity waned in favor of its FM sister station, WCFR-FM.

The 1990s saw several changes in ownership and WCFR carried various formats through the decade. In September 1998, WCFR changed from adult standards to a business news format. Two months later, the station was leased to Brian Dodge, at which point the station switched to a simulcast of the religious format of his WWNH in Madbury, New Hampshire, under the WNBX callsign. Dodge left the station in 2000 after being charged with domestic assault, leaving WNBX silent until new operators could be found.

Bob Vinikoor bought the station in 2001 and switched it to a simulcast of established FM talk station WNTK-FM. The format was switched to oldies in 2003 and the WCFR call letters returned in 2005. WCFR switched to classic hits in 2007 and to adult contemporary in 2009.

On February 3, 2017, WFCR and its FM translator W293BH 106.5 FM were sold to Sugar River Media LLC.  The station was re-branded to The All-New Rewind 106.5/1480 WCFR.

Former sister station WCFR-FM on 93.5 was sold separately from the AM WCFR in 2001 and was moved to Swanzey, New Hampshire, in 2008 (it is now WEEY). WFYX was known as WCFR-FM until owner Nassau Broadcasting, which at one point had planned to sell WPLY in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, parked the WPLY-FM call letters on 96.3 in Walpole, New Hampshire.

Churchman's (originally W.A. & A.C. Churchman) was a British cigarette manufacturer based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The company was a subsidiary of John Player & Sons of Imperial Tobacco Co. Churchman was notable for producing one million cigarettes a day.

The company also released (like many other tobacco manufacturers at that time) a line of collectible cards about diverse topics, but mainly focused on sports.

History
Churchman's was founded by William Churchman in 1790. The original shop, which sold pipe tobacco, was located at Hyde Park Corner in Ipswich.

In 1888 William Alfred (later Sir William) and Arthur Charles Churchman (later Lord Woodbridge and a director of the British American Tobacco from 1904 to 1923), grandsons of the founder, succeeded their father, Henry, in the business. By 1890 the company also produced "white cigarettes", and six years later produced 20,000 cigarettes an hour. To counter the aggressive American invasion to the British cigarette market (started when W. Duke Sons & Co., and four of the largest American manufacturers merged to form the American Tobacco Company in 1890), W.D. & H.O. Wills, John Player & Sons, Lambert & Butler, Hignett Brothers (with their associated firms) and Stephen Mitchell & Son, with six other firms, joined forces to found the Imperial Tobacco Company, Ltd., in 1901. Churchman joined the recently formed company the following year.

As the company expanded with increased sales, it opened a new facility at the junction of Portman Road and Princes Street. This factory would be extended during the 1920s and 1930s. In 1961 Churchman merged with Lambert & Butler and Edwards, Ringer & Bigg, to become first "Churchman, Lambert & Ringer", then renamed simply "Churchman's" in 1965. By that year, manufacturing of cigars concentrated the factory's production, with more than 1 million cigars per day and 1,000 employees working at Churchman's.

In 1972, the cigar business was integrated with John Player & Sons, with Churchman's becoming a subsidiary of it. Twenty years later, JP&S moved its operations to Bristol and Churchman closed.

Cigarette cards
Churchman produced several sets of cigarette cards to advertise its products, beginning in the first years of 20th century, most of them related with sports, mostly association football sets. The first football set included rugby union players and appeared in 1909, featuring illustrated footballers of both codes in their clubs' shirts. Other football sets were released in 1914, 1938 and 1939 but only related to association football. Other sports series released included athletics, cricket, golf, and tennis.

Churchman also released a railway series in 1935, and an athletes series (featuring photographs of sportsmen of diverse disciplines) in 1939.

Villa Florida is a city in southern Paraguay located on the Tebicuary River at the entrance of Misiones Region. Initially, when it was established by the Jesuits in 1632, it was called Paso Santa María. It was officially founded as a city on September 6, 1880 during Bernardino Caballero's government.

Villa Florida is  from Asunción. Citizens mainly work on commercial activities, cattle raising and tourism, linked to the beautiful Tebicuary River. This river nearly encloses the city, and has wide white beaches.

One of the main annual festivities is the day of the city's festival, the Inmaculada Concepcion de Maria, celebrated on December 8.

Geography
The land is mainly flat. The soil is rich in salts and minerals, which makes it especially good for cattle rising. Because of the soil characteristics, there are no forests, but some groves of trees are found close to the Tebicuary River.
Close to the city there are some lime and iron mines that were exploited in the past.

Villa Florida is unusual in Paraguay in being one of the few districts that have no counties or scattered neighborhoods.

Weather

The weather is mainly mild in the four months of southern-hemisphere winter and hot in summer: temperatures range from 25 to 35 Celsius (77-95 F) during eight months and from 3 to 24 Celsius (37-75 F) during winter. This city has good conditions for outdoor activities most of the year. Nevertheless, tourists should be careful with exposure to solar ultraviolet rays.

Demography

There is nearly no population growth, because there are not enough job opportunities for young people, who migrate searching for alternatives to more populated cities.

History

Villa Florida was founded in September, 1880 by General Bernardino Caballero. Initially named Paso Santa Maria, it was located in the route that linked the center with the south of the country. That place was located approximately  upriver from where the bridge is now. (This bridge was inaugurated in 1968)

A well-maintained highway traces a straight line  long that links Villa Florida with San Miguel City.

Economy

The city economy is based mainly on tourism and cattle rising.
Years ago, fishing was another special attraction, but waters were over exploited, without any respect for laws.
During the 70s, Villa Florida was a must for fishing fans. Nowadays, only local people still fish there for their living.

Transportation

The city receives buses that are passing by or coming from Asuncion, Encarnación, and other places in Argentina. In Asuncion Bus Terminal, one can find buses going to Villa Florida or passing by the city in their route to Encarnación or San Juan Bautista every 30 minutes.

There is also a landing runway for small planes.
Transit in the river is limited to boats and small crafts, since it is not deep.

Arts and Culture

The city has a History Museum where carved wood images and stone sculptures are displayed. In the city's centennial a great cross was installed next to the church by the riverside. The city also owns a public library that many students use for school research.

The poet F. Aguiar described the melancholic feeling that arises when being away from this land in a beautiful song, "Villa Florida". Hilarión Correa composed the music.

The famous harpist Kike Pedersen also born in Villa Florida, where his artistic family resided.

Tourism

Villa Florida is one of the most important centers of tourism in the country.
There are many hotel and inns, one of them being run by the Tourism Office.

There are also other options, as Hotel la Playa, La Misionera and many other places to stay.
Ecologic Tourism is a must, due to the natural style of the place.
Ranch Tourism is available. There are several places around the city that receive and host visitors.

Cabañas Museum is located in a former ranch  from Villa Florida, heading to Caapucú. This ranch was once property of General Anastasio Cabañas, a hero in Cerro Porteño and Tacuary battles (1810), even before Paraguayan independence.

Gastronomy

Villa Florida specialties are mainly river fish delicacies, as fish soup, Milanesa de Surubí, Surubí grillé and Surubí a la Napolitana. There are also some restaurants with local specialties, as Parador del Touring, which is located next to the toll road. Restaurant La Reja is worth mentioning, as well.

Important People from Villa Florida

One of the most important people from the Misiones Region, was the musician Agustín Barrios (Mangore), and Villa Florida was part of his life. Official records show that he was born in San Juan Bautista de las Misiones. His father was vice-consul from Argentina, because during that time Villa Florida was an international port. His mother was a local teacher.
Even though some people state that he was born in Villa Florida, he was registered in San Juan Bastista records that at the moment were the most important city of the region, and had the office required for the procedure.

Luis Alberto Riart was also born in Villa Florida. He was President in 1924.

City Hall

Since the return of the democracy in 1989, the city had four Mayors. The current mayor is Mr. Michel Flores, from the Colorado party, elected in 2013. Asa Javier Gonzalez, from the PLRA served as mayor from 2006–2010.

Henry Edward Hickmott (17 May 1853 – 18 January 1931) was an Australian farmer. He served as the Member of Western Australian Legislative Assembly for Pingelly from 1914 to 1924.

Life and times in South Australia and Victoria
Henry Edward Hickmott was born at Mount Barker in South Australia on 17 May 1853, the only son of Henry Hickmott (1825–1914) and Sophia Goldsmith (1828–1853). His parents and two older sisters, Emma and Eliza Hickmott, had sailed from London to Port Adelaide on the Emily in 1849 and then travelled to Mount Barker where Henry Edward's father worked at the local brick works. Another daughter Rebecca was born 1851. Henry Edward's paternal grandfather, Samuel Hickmott (1799 – c.1872) had earlier been transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1840 for sheep-stealing.  There is some evidence that Samuel may have travelled to South Australia to join his youngest son and his family there.

Henry Edward's mother, Sophia, died not long after his birth and his father quickly remarried, to Harriet Waters in Adelaide in 1853 under the name of Henry Richards. They lived for a time with Harriet's family in the rural settlement of Meadows. In 1854 Henry and Harriet and their family travelled to Melbourne in Victoria and thence to the gold-rush town of Clunes where they lived for the next twenty years. While at Clunes Henry Edward, like his father, worked as a miner, labourer and brick-maker. It seems that although he had no formal education he was well-learned. In her memoir I Loved Teaching Frances Elliott notes that Henry Edward, who had been invited to adjudicate a classroom debate
"… had never attended school, and yet he could write a very good letter. Having a stepmother, he had to go out and earn his living at an early age. He told us that the different people he worked for were always very willing to help him in his willingness to learn. He made a very satisfactory adjudicator".
She concluded by adding that he "later became a Member of Parliament in Western Australia".

In 1872, Henry Edward moved with his parents and step-siblings to the Wimmera township of Charlton where his father had purchased a farm, and would also establish a brickyard overlooking the river on Olive Street.  On 27 October 1877, he married Elizabeth Ann Owen, the sister of a close friend and fellow local cricketer John Richard Owen, at Kingower near Bendigo. Elizabeth was born at Emerald Hill in 1855. Her parents, Edward Owen and Elizabeth Evens, were both from Wales. They met and were married at Liverpool in England in 1850 and sailed from there to Victoria in 1852. Lured by the news of fresh discoveries of gold in the Kingower/Inglewood region, Edward, or Taffy as he was known, and his family moved from Melbourne to Bet Bet near Dunolly around 1857 and then on to Kingower. The old couple remained there through the town's boom and bust periods - the population of Kingower peaked at around 8,000 in the 1860s, before declining to just 100 by the time of Edward's death in 1908. His wife Elizabeth died in Kingower in 1893. They are both buried in unmarked graves in Kingower's fast disappearing cemetery.

In the same year he was married, Henry Edward's stepmother, Harriet Hickmott née Waters, was killed when she was struck by lightning at her home in East Charlton. The incident was recorded in the St Arnaud Mercury on 17 February as follows:

'About 5pm on Wednesday a severe thunderstorm burst over East Charlton, and an hour later Mrs Hickmott and her son Samuel (a youth of 18 or 20) had just returned to their home in that township after a visit to a selection belonging to the family at Watson's Lakes, when a flash of lightning struck them both dead in the doorway of their house … Mrs Hickmott was thrown several yards out of the building, the apparel around her chest and shoulders being set ablaze, and her face much disfigured by the electric current, which appears to have struck her on the head and traveled down her right side. Her son Samuel was smitten on the right shoulder the current passing diagonally across his body until it came to his heart, his clothing being burnt even to the undershirt. Another son, named James, who was indoors at the time, was struck on the left forearm and hip, and for a time was paralysed, but has since recovered.'.

While at Charlton, Henry Edward worked mainly as a brick maker and building and roads contractor, with evident success. In 1881, he purchased a farm at West Charlton and in 1885 had built, on Camp Street in the eastern part of the town, a four-roomed brick house. This and a similar dwelling built for his stepbrother, John James Hickmott, were, the leader writer of the East Charlton Tribune informed his readers, 'additional evidence of the increasing development of the rapidly rising town of Charlton which, at the present rate of progression, promises to become a large and populous provincial centre of activity'. An elder of the local Wesleyan Church, Henry Edward was said to have given a 'short but stirring speech' there in March 1886 to mark the retirement of its minister, the Reverend E. Taylor. In October the following year he used the local newspaper to announce that he had for sale 'colonial salt' that was extracted from Lake Kunat Kunat by his brother-in-law Joseph Smith of L'Albert (Joseph Colmer Smith married Henry's older sister Rebecca Hickmott at Clunes on 25 August 1869. A Cornishman, he was born at St Austell in 1832, the son of Thomas Colmer Smith, a storekeeper, and Jane Rowett).

Henry Edward's passion beyond his family, work and religion, was cricket. In this capacity he was described by the East Charlton Tribune as a 'trundler' who sometimes 'disturbed the peace' of his opponents' 'timberyard' and, very occasionally, scored a few runs. Perhaps his most notable achievement was against St Arnaud on 20 October 1879, where he took 2/19 and participated in a last wicket stand which resulted in a historic win over East Charlton's arch rivals. The joy of winning was to be short lived, however, as East Charlton, and Henry Edward's bowling, were thrashed in a return match held at St Arnaud a couple of weeks later.

In 1890, Henry Edward sold up his Charlton holdings and moved with his growing family northwards to Lalbert where they stayed for the next eighteen years. The family lived initially on Joseph Smith's  block of land (allotment 47B) which was located on the eastern side of the town. The children from the Hickmott and Smith families made up the bulk of the early classes of Lalbert School No 2990 which was built by the local community and opened on 18 March 1889. By this stage Henry and his family were living on their own farm some three miles (5 km) to the east of Lalbert. As at Charlton Henry Edward worked as a farmer and building and roads contractor, conducting road works in and around the township, and overseeing on behalf of the council engineer the clearing of mallee scrub from different properties. He served for a time as a Trustee of the Lalbert cemetery and the Chairman of the local Vermin Board. And of course he continued to play cricket.

To Western Australia
The returns from farming at Lalbert were not as first expected due in part to drought conditions and the continuing rabbit menace. In 1909, Henry and Elizabeth sold their land at Lalbert and sailed to Western Australia where they had purchased a farm, that they named 'Dingley Dell', at Pingelly just outside Brookton. At Brookton Henry again became actively involved in the local community, serving as a founding member of the Brookton Farmers and Settlers Association and its President for two years and a patron of the Brookton Swimming Club. On 21 October 1914, he was elected as the member for Pingelly in the Western Australian Parliament where he sat for three terms before being defeated at the 1924 election. During the First World War, Henry also served on the Brookton Repatriation Committee which raised funds and other support for the soldiers and their dependents, and helped returned men find employment.

On 16 April 1923, Henry Edward's wife, Elizabeth, died while visiting her son William Henry Hickmott and his family at their farm near Ouyen in the Mallee district of Victoria. Two years later Henry married Sarah Ellen Clarke in Perth. It is not known whether they had any children. On Sunday 18 January 1931, Henry Edward was killed in a farming accident. He was laying rabbit poison on his property when his cart hit a stone and he was thrown to the ground, breaking his neck. His funeral took place the following day and he was buried in the Methodist section of the Brookton Cemetery. His second wife Sarah Ellen Hickmott died at East Perth on 4 October 1957, aged 87 years.

Enos William McDonald (October 1, 1915–March 31, 1968), better known as Skeets McDonald,  was an American country and rockabilly musician popular during the 1950s and 60s. Best known for the Slim Willet-penned song "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes", McDonald was a devoted honky tonk singer and songwriter whose work helped to bridge the gap between country and rock and roll.

Biography

McDonald was born on October 1, 1915, in Greenway, Arkansas. He was the youngest of his parents' seven children; his gained his nickname for calling mosquitoes "skeets" as a child.  When his older brother moved to Detroit, Michigan, the early 1930s, McDonald followed; and joined his first band, the Lonesome Cowboys, in 1935. He later formed his own band and played local clubs and on radio in Flint and Pontiac.

McDonald was drafted in 1943 and was stationed in North Africa and the Far East during World War II, earning a Bronze Star. On discharge, he returned to radio and television work in Dearborn, Michigan. He made his first recordings for Fortune Records in 1950 with Johnnie White and his Rough Riders, and cut records for London and Mercury Records as Skeets Saunders.

In 1951, McDonald moved to Los Angeles, California, where he became a regular on Cliffie Stone's Hometown Jamboree and later appeared on Town Hall Party. He was soon signed by Capitol Records, which viewed him as its answer to Columbia Records' Lefty Frizzell and demanded he continue releasing country songs rather than the rockabilly sound he experimented with since the war. He recorded more than 80 numbers for the label, including his 1952 smash country hit, "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes" (No. 1 for 18 weeks). In the late 1950s, he appeared on Ozark Jubilee and continued recording for Capitol; his last release for the label was the album, The Country's Best.

McDonald signed with Columbia in 1959 and spent the decade there, recording some excellent West Coast hillbilly, as well as some forays into the rockabilly. He employed young guitar-whiz Eddie Cochran to back him in the studio for "You Oughta See Grandma Rock" and "Heart Breaking Mama". Although they made little impact on the charts at the time, they are now considered rockabilly classics.

He scored several hits on the Billboard country chart, including "This Old Heart" (1960, No. 21), "Call Me Mr. Brown" (1963, No. 9), "Big Chief Buffalo Nickel (Desert Blues)" (1966, No. 29), and "Mabel" (1967, No. 28). He also appeared on the Grand Ole Opry and the Big D Jamboree in Dallas, Texas. His songs included "I'll Make Believe", "Big Family Trouble", "I Need Your Love" and "The Echo of Your Footsteps". In 1964, he released the album Call Me Skeets!.

McDonald made several film appearances, including Saddle Pals with Johnny Mack Brown, Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Town (1950), The Glenn Miller Story (1954) and Hud (1963), singing "Driftwood on the River" with Janet McBride.

In later years, McDonald moved his style more towards rock and roll; but refused to move far from the tearjerking songs which made his name. When told by reviewers he "belonged to another age," he took it as a compliment to his dedication.

McDonald died from a heart attack on March 31, 1968, in Los Angeles.

The Kahr K series is a series of semi-automatic pistols manufactured by Kahr Arms. The original weapon in the series, the K9, was introduced in 1995 and features a double action only (DAO) trigger mechanism with a Locked breech recoil operated action. It was intended to address the police backup / off duty and civilian concealed carry markets.

With a reputation for both quality of construction and reliability since its introduction the pistol has remained popular with both the police and civilian markets. In 1998 it was approved for off duty and backup carry by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) but as of December 2011, the Kahr K9 is no longer authorized by the NYPD as Kahr Arms was not able to increase the trigger pull to the NYPD specifications. Since its introduction the pistol’s design and construction have undergone a number of improvements including slightly increased chamber dimensions and the use of a Teflon electroless nickel composite material for some of the internal moving parts which improved reliability.

Options offered with the K9 include tritium night sights, and wood Hogue grips. The Elite version of the pistol offers a polished feed ramp, polished and deburred slide, beveled magazine well, and enlarged trigger with a smoother action.

Features
 100% steel construction (no aluminum alloys or polymer)
 4140 high carbon steel alloy frame
 4130 chromoly steel slide
 Barrel, recoil lug, and feed ramp machined from one piece of steel
 Smooth 8-pound double-action-only trigger
 Lack of external safety lever for increased speed and simplicity also offers less chance of snagging on clothes
 Patented off-set recoil lug design results in reduced muzzle flip and perceived recoil due to low center line axis.
 Ergonometric curved Hogue rubber grips which help dampen recoil
 California specification passive firing pin block drop safety which prevents accidental firing if the pistol falls

Variants

K9
The Kahr K9 model is the original in the K series. The standard model features a stainless steel construction, locked breech, passive striker block and no magazine disconnect. It can also be purchased with a matte black finish. Both models feature drift adjustable, white bar-dot combat sights but can be upgraded to tritium night sights.

A K9 Elite model was also introduced by Kahr which features a polished stainless steel finish and laser etching on the frame.

K40
The Kahr K40 model, like the K9, comes standard with a stainless steel construction, locked breech, passive striker block and no magazine disconnect. It can also be purchased with a matte black finish. Both models feature drift adjustable, white bar-dot combat sights but can be upgraded to tritium night sights.

A K40 Elite model was also introduced by Kahr which features a polished stainless steel finish and laser etching on the frame.

Sadly the K40 has been removed from the line up.
