Samuel James Ewing (born 9 April 1949) is a former baseball player for the Chicago White Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays. He batted left and threw right.

Education
Ewing graduated from John Overton Comprehensive High School in 1966, and received a bachelor's degree from University of Tennessee. He got his master's degree in Exercise Physiology and worked on his doctorate in Sports Psychology and physiology at Michigan State University.

Career
Ewing attended the University of Tennessee, where he was an All-American. Ewing had a collegiate batting average of .412, hitting a high of .464 in his junior year. In 1970, Ewing was chosen to represent the US in the World Amateur games in Colombia. The USA was beaten in extra games by Cuba. Ewing played left field in most games and was one of only seven players on that team to later play in the major leagues.

Ewing was drafted in the first round by both the Montreal Expos (1969) and Chicago White Sox.

In Ewing's first major league game, he was struck out four straight times by Nolan Ryan, who struck out 17 with the California Angels.  He played for the Chicago White Sox in 1973 and 1976, and was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1976 Major League Baseball expansion draft.  For the Blue Jays in 1977 he hit .287 in 97 games as an outfielder, designated hitter, and first baseman.

Throughout his major league career, Ewing was used primarily against right-handed pitchers, gaining only 20 at-bats in his entire MLB career against southpaws — however, he hit left-handed pitchers for a .300 career average and in 1978 had a two-run homer in his only plate appearance against a lefty that season. Ewing was used almost exclusively as a pinch hitter in 1978, with only seven starts as a DH and two as a right fielder. His final American League game was on October 1, 1978.

In 1979 he went to play with the Nippon-Ham Fighters in Japan, where he batted .287 with 15 home runs and 65 runs batted in.

Returning from Japan, Ewing joined his former AAA team and, after the firing of the manager, accepted the managing job offered by longtime owner Ray Johnstone. The following year he managed the Appleton Foxes (Midwest League) to a fourth-place finish; he was released by management the following year.

Mansory is a luxury car modification firm based in Brand, Germany. Besides luxury cars, they also work on supercars, luxury SUVs and custom bikes. The company was founded in 1989 by Iranian tuner Kourosh Mansory. His Munich-based workshop focused on modifications for British brands such as Rolls-Royce and Italian brands such as Ferrari. By mid-2001, the company had grown out of its Munich workshop and moved to headquarters in the Fichtel Mountains. The company currently operates out of a workshop in Brand, Germany.

Mansory works on vehicles from a number of manufacturers, including Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus Cars, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, and Tesla. In November 2007, Mansory acquired the Porsche-tuning arm of Rinspeed AG. Rinspeed maintains its Swiss base in Zumikon at Lake Zurich. Currently, Mansory employs 182 members of staff worldwide and has a global dealership network.

Mansory's worldwide distribution network includes dealerships in Germany, United Kingdom, India, China, Canada, Poland, Russia, United States, Japan, Greece, Switzerland, Iceland, UAE and a few other countries.

Garia Mansory Edition
At the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mansory announced a commercial agreement with Garia. The company produced a series of special edition golf and leisure cars for wealthy clients. These cars were characterised by carbon fibre body panels on the front, side steps and tail and elements of teak decking.

Collaboration with Lotus Group
In 2012, Mansory signed an agreement with Lotus Group, then under the control of Dany Bahar who had ambitious expansion plans. Under the agreement, Mansory would provide its services to Lotus customers who would require bodywork, trim and special finishes for Lotus' the Elise, Exige and Evora range. The partnership developed following a series of one-off models produced by Mansory for Lotus including the Evora Concept Bespoke unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

The partnership fell through shortly afterwards when Dany Bahar was removed as CEO of Lotus Group. In March 2019 Mansory released the GTE Final Edition at the Geneva Motor Show 2019, based on the Evora.

Saint Robert of Bury (died 1181) was an English boy, allegedly murdered and found in the town of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk in 1181. His death, which occurred at a time of rising antisemitism, was blamed on local Jews. Though a hagiography of Robert was written, no copies are known, so the story of his life is now unknown beyond the few fragmentary references to it that survive. His cult continued until the English Reformation.

Robert of Bury joined a small group of 12th-century English unofficial saints of strikingly similar characteristics: all young boys, all mysteriously found dead and all hailed as martyrs to alleged anti-Christian practices among Jews. Contemporary assumptions made about the circumstances of their deaths are typical of blood libel. The first of these was William of Norwich (d.1144), whose death and cult were probably an influence on the story that grew up around the death of Robert.

Cult
Tradition states that Robert was kidnapped and then killed on Good Friday 1181. By the 1190s Robert had become the focus of a martyr cult. Jocelin de Brakelond, a monk of Bury St. Edmunds, later wrote a chronicle covering this period. He also mentions writing a book about the life and miracles performed by the boy saint, but this book has not survived.

Information about the circumstances of his death remains unclear. John of Taxster is the source for the date. Jocelyn's surviving account, in his history of the abbey of Bury, says only "the saintly boy Robert was murdered and buried in our church; many signs and wonders were performed among the people as I have recorded elsewhere."  Another record merely states that he was "martyred" at Easter by Jews. A later record refers to him as "a boy crucified by the Jews".

John Lydgate wrote a poem entitled Prayer for St. Robert, which implies that the story of his death closely mirrored that of William of Norwich, in which Jews are supposed to have kidnapped the child with the help of a Judas-like Christian accomplice, tortured and then crucified him over Easter in a parody of Jesus's death. Lydgate says he was "scourged and nailed to a tree". An illustration to a Latin prayer to Robert depicts him lying dead in a ditch beside a tree, with an archer nearby shooting an arrow upwards, illuminated by a giant sun. Another image shows a woman holding the child over a well with the inscription "the old woman wished, but was not able, to hide the light of God". This may be the "nurse" obliquely mentioned in Lydgate's poem, possibly the Christian accomplice. Alternatively, she may be a Jewish woman trying to hide the body after the murder.

Nothing more is known about the supposed events surrounding his death, or about Robert's identity, life or family.

Significance
Historian Robert Bale argues that the cult of Robert arose because of the influence of the nearby cult of William of Norwich. Though Bury St Edmunds already held the tomb of St. Edmund the Martyr, after which the town is named, the cult of William was a rival, so a local boy-martyr was desirable if the abbey was to retain its pilgrims. According to historian Joe Hillaby, the death of a boy called Harold in Gloucester in 1168 had already established that William's death could be used as a template for later unexplained deaths of male children occurring around Easter. It "established a pattern quickly taken up elsewhere. Within three years the first ritual murder charge was made in France."

Bale, referring to the research of Hillaby, suggests that the cult was promoted at a time when the abbey at Norwich was attempting to assert authority over Bury. He argues that Samson of Tottington, Abbot of Bury from 1182 to 1211, decided that the town needed the cult to preserve its independence. It may have also been linked to local political rivalries, as Samson was trying to undermine his rival William the Sacrist who had business links with the town's Jews.

The cult of Robert may have served as a contributing factor in the later violent attack upon the Jews of Bury St Edmunds on Palm Sunday 1190, in which fifty-seven were killed. The whole surviving Jewish community was immediately thereafter expelled from the town by order of Abbot Samson. According to Bale, the cult may have paved the way for the expulsion, "demonising the Jews for the practical purpose of their removal", but not enough is known about its early history to be sure that it did not develop as a retrospective justification for the expulsion.

Fort Branch Marlette High School, commonly known as Fort Branch High School, was a public high school located in Fort Branch, Indiana.

History
Fort Branch High School, established in 1922, was one of the three high schools under South Gibson School Corporation that merged into Gibson Southern High School in 1974. Like the current Fort Branch Community School, Fort Branch High School's mascot was the Twigs, and the school colors were black and gold. Fort Branch was part of the Pocket Athletic Conference shortly before the merging. The building was then used as the Fort Branch Middle School (grades 6–8) until 1982, when the current Fort Branch Community School building was completed. The school was then subsequently demolished. The original Fort Branch High School gymnasium continues to be used for community functions.

Ferritin heavy chain is a ferroxidase enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FTH1 gene. FTH1 gene is located on chromosome 11, and its mutation causes Hemochromatosis type 5.

Function

This gene encodes the heavy subunit of ferritin, the major intracellular iron storage protein in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of 24 subunits of the heavy and light ferritin chains. Variation in ferritin subunit composition may affect the rates of iron uptake and release in different tissues. A major function of ferritin is the storage of iron in a soluble and nontoxic state. Defects in ferritin proteins are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. This gene has multiple pseudogenes. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but their biological validity has not been determined.

Interactions

FTH1 has been shown to interact with ferritin light chain.

Uranium tiles have been used in the ceramics industry for many centuries, as uranium oxide makes an excellent ceramic glaze, and is reasonably abundant. In addition to its medical usage, radium was used in the 1920s and 1930s for making watch, clock and aircraft dials. Because it takes approximately three metric tons of uranium to extract 1 gram of radium, prodigious quantities of uranium were mined to sustain this new industry. The uranium ore itself was considered a waste product and taking advantage of this newly abundant resource, the tile and pottery industry had a relatively inexpensive and abundant source of glazing material. Vibrant colors of orange, yellow, red, green, blue, black, mauve, etc. were produced, and some 25% of all houses and apartments constructed during that period (circa 1920–1940) used bathroom or kitchen tiles that had been glazed with uranium. These can now be detected by a Geiger counter that detects the beta radiation emitted by uranium's decay chain.

The use of uranium in ceramic glazes ceased during World War II when all uranium was diverted to the Manhattan project and didn't resume until 1959. In 1987, NCRP Report 95 indicated that no manufacturers were using uranium-glaze in dinnerware.

Potential doses
Although the uranium in the glaze emits gamma rays, alpha particles, and beta particles, the gamma and alpha emissions are weak.  The beta particles are the easiest to detect, and they are also responsible for the bulk of the radiation exposure to those handling ceramics that employ a uranium glaze.

NCRP Report 95 reported  the following measurements for dinnerware employing uranium glazes:  0.2 to 20 mrad per hour on contact as measured using film badges;

NUREG/CRCP-0001 reported a measurement of approximately 0.7 mR/hr at 25 cm from a Fiesta red dinner plate. It also reported the results of an Oak Ridge National Laboratory analysis that predicted 34.4 mrem/year to a dishwasher at a restaurant using ceramic plates containing 20% uranium in the glaze, 7.9 mrem/year to the waiters, and 0.2 mrem to a patron for a four-hour exposure.

It is likely that the major health issue associated with this dinnerware is not the radiation exposures but the ingestion of uranium or other heavy metals that have leached into food or drink in contact with the dinnerware. One FDA study measured 1.66 x 10−5 uCi/ml in a 4% acetic acid solution in contact with the ceramic dinnerware for 50 hours. This exceeded the ICRP's maximum permissible concentration (MPC).

Ordinary ceramics often contain elevated levels of naturally occurring radionuclides, e.g., 40K and the various members of the uranium and thorium decay series. Because of this, health physicists who are conducting radiation surveys expect to see higher readings when they are making measurements over ceramic tiles and similar materials. Sometimes the higher readings are due to uranium in the glaze; sometimes they are due to the radionuclides in the clay that was used to produce the ceramic.

Reported examples include a vehicle carrying toilets setting off a radiation monitor at a truck weigh station, and health physicists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory reporting excessively high readings while surveying newly purchased urinals for the men's restrooms.

Ceramics can be particularly radioactive if some compound of uranium (e.g., uranium oxide, sodium uranate) has been used to impart color (e.g., orange-red, green, yellow, black) to the glaze.

Background
Not long after Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity in uranium salts, Marie Curie discovered both polonium and radium as two new radioactive elements also present with uranium.
The relatively high specific activity and moderate half-life of 1,600 years of 226Ra, the main radioisotope of radium found in uranium ore, made for a material which when mixed with a phosphor allowed for a glow-in-the-dark substance.

Thus, in addition to its medical usage, radium usage also became a major industry in the 1920s and 1930s for making watch, clock and aircraft dials.  The radium dial painters brought a certain degree of notoriety to the abuse of radioactive materials, and that precautions needed to be followed with this new substance.

Because it takes approximately three metric tons of uranium to extract 1 gram of 226Ra, prodigious quantities of uranium were mined to sustain this new industry.  The uranium ore itself was a "waste product" of this industry.  By some estimates, nearly one million tons of uranium were mined to support this industry.

Taking advantage of this newly abundant resource, the tile and pottery glazing industry then had a relatively inexpensive and abundant source of glazing material that produced a wide variety of colors depending upon admixtures, firing, etc.

Vibrant colors of orange, yellow, red, green, blue, black, mauve, etc. were produced on tiles and other ceramic materials, and by some estimates, some 25% of all houses and apartments constructed during that period (circa 1920–1940) used varying amounts of bathroom or kitchen tiles that had been glazed with varying amounts of uranium.  These can now be readily found in older homes, apartments, and other buildings still standing from that era by use of a simple Geiger counter that readily detects the beta radiation emitted by uranium's ever-present decay chain radio-daughters.

After Euratom restrictions about uranium uses in ceramic glazes, there are no factories left working with uranium glazes, which is why uranium glazed tiles have become rare pieces for collectors.

These glazes are generally made with 238U raw material, known as yellowcake UO2 uranium granules. 21st century contemporary ceramic artist and academic researcher Sencer Sari is one of the known specialists who is working with these uranium glazes.

In most situations, the radiation exposure is not excessive, but there are some exceptions in which pure uranium oxide (which produces red-orange coloration as a glaze) on bathroom floors can pose a hazard for infants crawling around for hours on end, day after day.

The Milton S. Hershey Mansion, also known as High Point, is a historic house at 100 Mansion Road East in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  Built in 1908, it was the home of Hershey Chocolate founder Milton S. Hershey (1857-1945) from 1908 until his death.  Hershey is credited with introducing the mass production of chocolate to be sold at low prices and operated what became the world's largest chocolate maker.  His house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1983.  It presently houses the offices of the Hershey Trust Company, a multibillion-dollar trust fund which owns a controlling share of Hershey Foods Corporation and runs the Milton Hershey School.

Description and history
The former Milton S. Hershey Mansion is located amid the grounds of the Hershey Country Club, at the junction of East Mansion and West Mansion Roads.  It is set on a rise of land which provides views to the original Hershey factory to the west.  It is a -story structure, built (like the factory) out of locally quarried limestone, and is Colonial Revival in style. It is covered by a truncated hip roof and has four limestone chimneys.  The main facade is five bays wide, with a two-story flat-roofed portico supported by Ionic columns extending across the central three bays. Single-story porches extend to both sides, the one on the left continuing as a porte-cochere to join to a small outbuilding, and the one on the right extending to a polygonal gazebo-like structure.

Milton Hershey first began manufacturing chocolate in a Lancaster plant in which he principally made caramel,  following the then-common methods of chocolatiers in making the product into a variety of shapes and styles. In 1901, he decided to embark on a strategy of mass production, with a limited number of products that could be sold inexpensively to a larger customer base.  As his production base, he developed the town of Hershey into a company town, building the factory and other facilities.  After the factory was completed, he had this house built, to a design by architect Henry Herr, who had also designed many of the town's early buildings.

When the Hershey Country Club was founded in 1930, Hershey donated the house to the club as a headquarters, reserving an apartment for himself on the premises, and it remained his principal residence until his death in 1945.  The house was acquired in 1970 by the Milton Hershey School, which was used as an educational environment to teach early 20th-century building practices.  In 1977 it was purchased by Hershey Foods for use as its corporate headquarters.  It presently serves as the offices of the Hershey Trust Company.

History
Founded by Mark Elijah Rosenberg in 1997, the festival included one night of short film screenings in each of its first two years. Rooftop moved in 1998 to the roof of Peter's Car Corp. a  artists' loft and occasional event space located at 265 McKibbin Street. An all-volunteer staff that included Rosenberg, Joshua Breitbart and Moira Griffin helped Rooftop expand from one screening a summer to more than 12 a summer by 2002. In 2003, Rosenberg became Rooftop's first full-time employee as Artistic Director, while former volunteers Dan Nuxoll and Sarah Palmer became part-time employees as the Program Director and Festival Director, respectively. That year, Rooftop moved its offices and event space a few blocks down the street to Office Ops. Daisy Rosario served as festival producer from 2007 until 2011.

Giorgos Manousos (; born 3 December 1987) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a forward for Super League 2 club Aiolikos.

Career
Born in Mytilene, Manousos began playing football with local side Aiolikos in the Football League 2. In the summer of 2008 he joined OFI and he made his debut in the Superleague Greece on 4 October 2008 against AEL. On 30 October 2011 he made his debut for Kalloni After five years with the club, Manousos attracts the interest of Atromitos which are interested in signing 28-year-old striker after his announcement that is intended to leave his current club at the end of season.

In April 2016, Manousos announced his intention to leave Kalloni, which suffered relegation to Football League, at the end of the current season and two Superleague Greece's clubs are already monitoring his case. Asteras Tripoli and Platanias are interested in signing the 28-year-old striker, who has scored 14 times in 101 Superleague Greece career appearances and was the first scorer of Kalloni in this season's Super League (6 goals in 28 performances). He left the club having 169 appearances (40 goals, 9 assists) in all competitions. Eventually on 8 June 2016, Manousos signed with Platanias a two year contract for an undisclosed fee, returning to Crete after 5 years. On 3 May 2017, Giorgos Manousos will be released from Platanias immediately, after his controversial interview. The 30-year-old player stated that nothing happened in the locker rooms of Karaiskaki Stadium during the halftime of recent Superleague Greece game against Olympiacos, in spite of his teammates' (such as Alexis Apostolopoulos) official statements about violent behavior from the Reds, so the president of Cretan club Manolis Mathioudakis told him during 1 May training that he should be ashamed of yourself for that interview.

Atromitos
On 27 May 2017, Atromitos announced the signing of Manousos on a two-year deal. On 4 November 2017 Atromitos faced Panionios and the striker was the recipient of a nasty knee injury. This injury was grossly underestimated by both the player and club alike as the plan was to return to playing action as soon as possible, but the pains did not disappear. This led to Manousos undergoing knee surgery in February 2018 and missing the remainder of the 2017–18 season.

On the beginning of the 2018–19 season, has a positive impact in his club's effort in qualifying in the UEFA Europa League third round, but besides his goals both abroad and home did not succeed to help his club to overpass Dynamo Brest. On 3 February 2019, Manousos who returned to the side after a lengthy spell out injured since 1 December, scored with a superb left-footed shot which left AEL's goalkeeper Ögmundur Kristinsson no chance in the 89th minute, sealing a vital 1–0 away win. It was his first goal with the club for the 2018–19 season.

On 14 April 2019, he scored with a powerful header, after an assist from Efthymis Koulouris helping his club locked up a fourth-placed finish in the 2018–19 Super League season with an impressive 2–0 away win over rivals Aris at the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium.

On the beginning of the 2019–20 season, he helped his club to escape with a 2–1 away win against Dunajska Streda as he scored the second goal.

The same scenario took place in the second match as Manousos with a penalty kick in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round scored helping his club to acquire a thrilling 3–2 home win over Dunajska Streda at the Peristeri Stadium which gave the Athens club a 5–3 aggregate success.
At the beginning of the season, the experienced striker who has been plagued by injuries himself, stepped up when his team needed him most. On 28 September 2019, he scored a brace in the 2–0 home win over rock-bottom Panetolikos to help his club acquiring his first win for the season. He has scored nine goals over the past two seasons and seven of those goals came in victories, while the other two came in UEFA Europa League qualifying. On 4 January 2020, Manousos slotted home a 90th-minute penalty to seal a tightly contested 2–1 home win for Atromitos over strugglers Asteras Tripoli game. The penalty was Manousos' second goal in the match, with the Greek striker having also put Atromitos ahead in the 76th minute. It was name Man of the match. He has already surpassed his best goal-scoring tally of the season (his previous best was eight goals with Platanias in the 2016–17 season). On 4 June 2021, after fours years with Atromitos, the 33-year-old striker's contract expired, but was not renewed, and the club released him with a farewell video with some of his goals. Manousos made 97 appearances (32 goals, 4 assists) with the club in all competitions.

Lamia
On 15 June 2021, Lamia announced him as a new signing, with a two-year contract. On 29 January 2022, he scored a brace sealing a vital 2-1 home win game against OFI Crete F.C.

Vottem () is a village of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Herstal, located in the province of Liège, Belgium.

The Rida river has its springs in Vottem.

It was a fully-fledged municipality up to 1976. The Jolivet and Bernalmont hamlets had already been transferred to the town of Liège in 1975.

Hamlets and neighbourhoods
 Bouxhtay, Å Bouh'tè, Å Bouf'tè, hamlet mentioned since 1278
 Chapeauville, A chapêvêye, neighbourhood mentioned since 1534
 Cheval Blanc, Å blanc Dj'vå, after the "White Horse inn" that was located there
 Croix Jouette, Creû Djouwète, hamlet mentioned since 1552
 Gaillard-Cheval, Å Galiår, hamlet mentioned since 1530
 Gascogniers, Ås Cascognîs, hamlet mentioned since 1812
 Haxhes, Hå, Håhe
 Haren, Harin
 Jolivet, è Djolivè (hamlet mentioned since 1430; transferred to Liège in 1975)
 Tiyou, after the Walloon word for the linden that was once growing there. There was also an old windmill, Moulin Bouquette which was destroyed around 1970 for sake of highway construction.

Geology and soils

Vottem is at the limit of the Hesbaye Plateau and the Meuse valley. From higher to lower locations in the village, there are the following geological formations:
 Pleistocene aeolian loess
 Tertiary sands (Oligocene)
 Clay with flint
 Maastrichtian chalk (Cretaceous) - it makes up the Hesbaye aquifer
 Herve clay or smectite
 Sandstone, schists and coal pertaining to the Palaeozoic (also called Houiller)
Locally, near the Rida springs, freshwater tufa has been deposited.

Dominant soils in Vottem are well drained loamy soils(Ab) and gravelly loamy soils with silex, quite well drained also (Gb). The latter are directly related to outcrops of clay-with-flint. Remarkably, on the soil map, spring areas are not differentiated, most probably in relation to a low augering density (one per ha)

Important buildings
 The Saint Étienne catholic church dates from 1788. It is a neo-classical church, holding a squared tower at the western side, in bricks and stone. It has been restored in 1966, and the old furniture disappeared at that time. One of the church bells dated from 1838,; it was stolen by the German occupier in 1943.
 Temple of the Antoinist cult

 Bouxthay Chapel (ruined)

 There used to be two windmills in Vottem, the Moulin Depireux and the Moulin Bouquette; their towers remained in the landscape until 1970, when they were destroyed to make room for the highway.
 The "Centre pour Illégaux de Vottem" (CIV) exists since 1999. Non-accepted asylum seekers reside here, before travelling back to their home country. People sleep in rooms with four beds.

Public footpaths

Vottem holds 26 km of public footpaths, out of which 14 km are in good shape, 2 km are difficult (often included in croplands), 1 km illegally closed, 2 km inaccessible with unknown status and 5 km have been officially abandoned (often for sake of highway construction). This high density of footpaths is explained by the previous dominance of horticulture in this village. The intensive work in the gardens required a lot of foot mobility; and the products were transported to the local auction market by hand carts; the width of the footpaths was adjusted to these carts: minimum 1.17 metres.

FBI Special Weapons and Tactics (FBI SWAT) Teams are specialized part-time SWAT teams of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI maintains SWAT teams at each of its 56 field offices throughout the United States. Each team is composed of a varying number of certified SWAT operators, dependent on office size and funding.

History

The Firearms Unit at the FBI Academy began developing SWAT teams in the early 1970s. Following the Wounded Knee Occupation in 1973, the FBI established a regional SWAT program to organize SWAT teams and provide qualified command personnel.

Roles

FBI SWAT teams are specially trained to serve warrants and intervene in high-risk incidents such as active shooters, barricaded suspects, or protection for personnel or dignitaries.

FBI SWAT teams are trained to a national standard and utilize the same equipment which enables a team to provide assistance to another Field Office Team. SWAT teams can be dispatched to aid local law enforcement with limited resources to manage large-scale high-risk incidents.

Several factors can determine the deployment of FBI SWAT. Some of those factors are:
The potential of violence
The potential risk to law enforcement and the public
The location of the warrant service and case requirements

SWAT Operations Unit
The SWAT Operations Unit (SOU), part of the Critical Incident Response Group, oversees the FBI SWAT program. The SOU is responsible for developing standardized training, procedures and tactics, and for research and development including equipment, for the SWAT teams to ensure interoperability for multiple-office deployments. During multiple-office deployments the SOU provides planning assistance and oversight. SWAT teams train on average 32 hours a month.

Enhanced SWAT teams
Nine FBI SWAT teams are designated as "Enhanced" SWAT teams and are specially trained to be able to assist/augment the full-time national Hostage Rescue Team if needed. Enhanced SWAT teams are typically located at larger field offices and comprise a larger number of personnel than standard teams, in addition to having increased access to additional tactical equipment and methods.

Equipment

Weapons
FBI SWAT is known to use the M4 carbine, Heckler & Koch MP5/10, Remington 870, Remington 700, various Glock models (17 Gen4, 19M, 20), SIG Sauer P226, and Springfield Armory 1911 Professional Custom.

FBI SWAT also uses ballistic shields, stun grenades, enforcer battering rams, sledgehammers, Halligan bars, and gas masks, among other equipment.

Vehicles
FBI SWAT uses a variety of armored SWAT vehicles, including the Lenco BearCat, Humvee, various MRAP models, and occasionally tracked armored personnel carriers. A variety of civilian-style vehicles are also used when necessary (such as to avoid attention), often unmarked SUVs, vans, or pickup trucks produced by subsidiaries of Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis.

In popular culture
In film and television, FBI SWAT appears in films such as Face/Off (1997), The Town (2010), S.W.A.T.: Firefight (2011), and S.W.A.T.: Under Siege (2017), and television shows such as FBI, Criminal Minds and  The Blacklist (2013).

FBI SWAT also appears in several video games, such as SWAT 4 (2005), Payday 2 (2013), Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege (2015), Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands (2017), Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint (2019), and Ready or Not (2021).

Thorn Creek Woods Nature Center and Preserve is located in Will County, Illinois, near the municipality of Park Forest, Illinois. It is part of the Forest Preserve District of Will County. The entranceway to Thorn Creek Woods Nature Preserve is located at 247 Monee Road, approximately  north of Stunkel Road, in Park Forest. The preserve is open 8:00 a.m. - dusk daily; the Nature Center is open 12:00 - 4:00 p.m. Friday- Sunday. At , Thorn Creek Nature Preserve lies at the headwaters of Thorn Creek and consists of bottomlands, ravines, and white-oak forests interspersed with marsh and meadows. The actual nature center is located inside of an old church right off Monee Road. It is two stories and contains a nature library and nature exhibits. The trail starts behind the church and heads east into the woods. The topography varies. The trail starts off on high land before dropping down into the Thorn Creek River Valley. It then crosses the creek and goes up and out of the valley, again.  The terrain is pretty rugged, especially near the river and its tributaries, because they have cut many gorges and ravines.

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha-13 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GNA13 gene.

Interactions and functions

The GNA13 gene encodes the G13 G protein alpha subunit. Together with GNA12, these two proteins comprise one of the four classes of heterotrimeric G protein alpha subunits. Heterotrimeric G proteins function in transducing hormone and neurotransmitter signals detected by cell surface G protein-coupled receptors to intracellular signaling pathways to modulate cell functions. G protein alpha subunits bind to guanine nucleotides and function in a regulatory cycle, and are active when bound to GTP but inactive and associated with the G beta-gamma complex when bound to GDP.

Active GTP-bound G12 alpha subunit interacts with and activates ARHGEF1, ARHGEF11, and ARHGEF12. These ARHGEF proteins function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors for the Rho small GTPases to regulate the actin cytoskeleton.

GNA13 has been shown to interact with AKAP3, RIC8A, and Radixin.

Clinical significance

Recurrent mutations in this gene have been associated to cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Euonymus americanus is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae. Common names include strawberry bush, American strawberry bush, bursting-heart, hearts-a-bustin, and hearts-bustin'-with-love. It is native to the eastern United States, its distribution extending as far west as Texas. It has also been recorded in Ontario.

This is a deciduous shrub growing up to  tall. The oppositely arranged leaves are leathery or papery in texture and measure up to  long. Flowers are borne in the leaf axils on peduncles up to  long. The yellow-green sepals are  long and the greenish or reddish petals above are smaller. The fruit capsule is about  wide with a red warty or spiny covering. The capsule splits into five sections, revealing seeds covered in bright red arils.

The seeds are dispersed by animals.  Deer have been known to graze on this plant and seem to love the tender leaves and stems. Humans should take the red color of the seeds as a warning; they are known to be a strong laxative and cause severe diarrhea. In fact, this genus of plants in general is considered poisonous to humans.

Description
Euonymus americanus is a deciduous shrub that grows low to the ground only reaching up to 2-3.5 m high. Euonymus americanus grows white and green flowers that produce orange and red colored fruits. The white flowers on Euonymus americanus start to form unique pink fruit capsules that look somewhat like the common strawberry will start to open in the fall months revealing large orange seeds.

Taxonomy
Euonymus americanus is one out of 1,300 species of the plants within the Celastraceae family which is also known as the bittersweet family. Euonymus americanus L. was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. Some common names of Euonymus americanus include hearts-bustin'-with-love, bursting-heart, and the american strawberry bush. Euonymus americanus has three subspecies including Euonymus americanus var. angustifolius, Euonymus americanus var. obvatus and Euonymus americanus var. sarmentosus. The American Strawberry Bush also has eight different synonyms including Euonymus alternifolius and Euonymus angustifolius.

Distribution and habitat
Although Euonymus americanus L. is one of the 1,300 species members in the Celastraceae family, it is the only bittersweet family shrub that is found exclusively in the United States. The American strawberry bush is found in wetland areas such as margins of swamps, shaded stream banks, and sloped wetlands. However, though it resides in moist areas it is not a flood tolerant species; therefore, only being able to grow in moderately saturated soils. The shrub can grow in shaded conditions.

Traditional uses
Native Americans used the roots of the Euonymus americanus to make a tea that would aid in uterine prolapse, vomiting of blood, stomach aches, malaria, liver congestion, constipation, and urinary tract infections. The bark of the shrub was also used in aiding dandruff control when the bark was turned into a powder like substance. Additionally, the seed of the American strawberry bush can be used as a strong laxative.

Conservation
The American strawberry bush is common in most of its range. However, Euonymus americanus is listed as endangered in the state of New York.

Wildlife uses
Euonymus americanus has vibrant fruits and foliage during the early autumn season which can attract white-tailed deer and rabbit herbivores The white-tailed deer also eats the twigs of the American strawberry bush. The bright orange-red aril that covers the seed provides a source of fat and sugar to songbirds, small mammals, and wild turkeys. The seeds of Euonymus americanus are dispersed by animals like birds and deer. It has been marked as a pollinator plant, supporting and attracting bees, beetles, flies, and ants.

Diseases and insect pests

Unaspis euonymi, also known as euonymus scale, is the most common pest found on Euonymus. Scales have no legs that are visible to the naked eye and are small, motionless insects that vary in appearance depending on the sex and age of the scale. Euonymus scales pierce the leaf or stem of the Euonymus plant and feed on the sap. The initial indication of an infestation of euonymus scale on the plant is the development of yellow spots on the leaves. A heavy infestation can be seen as clusters of white on the top and bottom of the leaf as well as the stems. These heavy infestations can cause the branches or even the entire plant to die.

Some common diseases that are developed in Euonymus include powdery mildew, anthracnose, cercospora leaf spot, scab, and crown gall.

Euonymus is host to webworm larvae of the American ermine moth Yponomeuta multipunctella.

Michael Caruso (born 25 May 1983) is an Australian professional motor racing driver. Caruso competes in the Pirtek Enduro Cup, co-driving a Chevrolet Camaro Mk.6 for Team 18 alongside Mark Winterbottom.

Early career
Caruso began his career in go-karts at age 12, before graduating to Formula Ford in 2001. He moved to Formula 3 in 2002 and won the Australian Formula 3 Championship in 2003. Despite offers to move to FIA Formula 3000 in Europe, he chose to join the Holden Young Lions team in the V8 Supercars Development Series for 2004. After a poor start he quit the team mid-season. In 2005 Caruso competed in the first two rounds of the Australian Formula 3 Championship, before moving to Europe to be test and reserve driver for the F3000 outfit Team Astromega.

Touring cars

Development Series
In 2006 he returned to Australia and to the V8 Supercars Development Series with Jim Morton's Decina Racing, finishing 4th in the championship. In 2007 he was runner-up in the Development Series, again with Jim Morton's renamed Ford Rising Star program. He also made three main-game V8 Supercars starts in this period. The first of which was at the 2006 Bathurst 1000 as a replacement for Mark Porter in a Brad Jones Racing entry. Porter had a serious crash on the Friday of the event and later died in hospital. In 2007, Caruso entered the Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000 with WPS Racing.

Garry Rogers Motorsport
In 2008, Caruso was signed to compete in his first full season in V8 Supercars, driving a Holden Commodore (VE) for Garry Rogers Motorsport, where he replaced Dean Canto. In 2009, Caruso won his first championship race at the Skycity Triple Crown at Hidden Valley Raceway. He also finished on the podium at the 2009 Bathurst 1000, co-driving with Lee Holdsworth, and in the second race of the Sydney 500. Caruso stayed at the team until 2012, only scoring one further podium in this period.

Nissan Motorsport
In 2013, Caruso moved to Nissan Motorsport, a four car team running the Nissan Altima L33. The team was the first to introduce a new manufacturer to the category under the New Generation V8 Supercar (then known as Car of the Future) regulations in 2013. The team largely struggled with the new package and Caruso finished 23rd in the championship. The highlight of the year for Caruso was at the Winton 360, where he finished second in the opening race. Caruso had been leading the race at the conclusion of the first half of the split race, however was beaten by teammate James Moffat to victory in the second half.

In 2014, Caruso finished a career-high 10th in the championship, despite only scoring one podium, in the second race of the Gold Coast 600. Caruso also took pole at the non-championship V8 Supercars Challenge race, a support event to the Australian Grand Prix. Having featured Norton 360 sponsorship in 2013 and 2014, from 2015 onwards, Caruso sported a corporate Nissan and Nismo livery. After another lean year in 2015, Caruso began 2016 strongly at the season-opening Adelaide 500. Caruso finished second in the Sunday race and led the championship following the event. At the 2016 CrownBet Darwin Triple Crown, Caruso won his second career championship race, seven years after his first and coincidentally once again at Hidden Valley Raceway. On 30 January 2019 it was announced that Caruso would lose his drive with Nissan Motorsport. He will not compete full time in 2019 and is yet to announce an ENDURO drive.

Framsticks is a 3D freeware Artificial Life simulator.  Organisms consisting of physical structures ("bodies") and control structures ("brains") evolve over time against a user's predefined fitness landscape (for instance, evolving for speed), or spontaneously coevolve in a complex environment. Evolution of organisms occurs primarily through artificial selection, where an intelligent selector chooses the selection parameters and mutation rates. Also the organisms rate of crossing-over can be chosen thus reflecting the sharing of genes by mating in nature. The simulated organisms have genetic scripts inspired by DNA found in living organisms in nature. A user can isolate a particular organism in the gene pool and edit its genotype. Framsticks allows users to design organisms or manually edit the living genetic code of an organism. Users have the ability to seed the environment with energy orbs that the organisms convert to energy and material. Depending on how the organism does in its lifespan determines the future of the virtual gene pool. Gene pools can be exported and shared.

Bodies
The bodies are made up of various building blocks that are assembled according to a genetic script. Building blocks include: a rotator, hinge, muscle, structure, and receptor.

Brains
The brains are basic neural networks that show up as a network of firing neurons. The genetic script serves as the blueprints for the exact assembly and functioning of the neural network.

World
The world or ‘universe’ can be set to height-field editable as blocks and/or steep planes, ‘water’, flat, or a combination of all these and be edited by user as map in simple text-format. It has adjustable gravitation and water-level.

Thavam () is a 2007 Tamil-language romantic drama film directed by Sakthi Paramesh, written by Puri Jagannadh, and produced by Arjun Sarja, who also has a cameo appearance in the film. A remake of the Telugu film Itlu Sravani Subramanyam, it stars Arun Vijay and Vandana Gupta while Vadivelu, Janagaraj, and Kalairani play supporting roles. The music was composed by D. Imman. The film released on 5 October 2007. The dialogue Aahan spoken by Vadivelu in this film is famous.

Plot
The movie begins with Sumathi (Vandana Gupta) and Subramaniam (Arun Vijay), strangers to one another, meeting at a suicide point in Chennai. They realize that their goal is the same: suicide. Both had chosen to end their lives and duly write suicide notes. Sumathy's reason for taking the extreme step is her nagging relatives, who are also her guardians. They are after her ancestral money. Subramaniam is cheated by a friend who promises a job for him in Dubai after taking Rs. 5 lakh from him. Both consume sleeping pills in a bid to end their lives in Subramaniam's room.

Parallel narration is the comedy track of petty thief Keeripulla (Vadivelu).

However, Subramaniam and Sumathi are rescued by the house owner Mani (Janakaraj). Life takes a turn, and Subramaniam lands a good job, while Sumathy's relatives take her home. Subramaniam's marriage is settled with a girl of his mother's choice, and Sumathy's marriage is fixed with her maternal uncle. Both flee the respective marriage halls independently. How they reunite forms the crux.

Cast

Soundtrack
The soundtrack was composed by D. Imman.

Critical reception
Indiaglitz called it "breezy love story for youngsters." Behindwoods wrote "As the sequences right from the start to the finish tread on an expected path, it is difficult to get involved with the film. There is no depth in story, screenplay and narration is weak and pathetic." Rediff wrote "Debutant Sakthi Paramesh directs the proceedings as if he doesn't give a damn. Lesser pleasure the audiences take home, the merrier. Nearly every known film device -- plot, logic and good dialogue -- is thrown to the winds as actors and technicians recklessly go through the mere motions of making a movie."

Legacy

In early 2015, a quote and shot from the film has been used as a meme template, called Aahaan. This word was spoken by Vadivelu in one comedy scene involving him and Arun Vijay at a bus stop. The exact reason for this sudden phenomenon is unspecified, but it is believed that due to the unspecific tone that he says this line in, and given the fact that he has said this line frequently throughout his career with different tones, it has become a fan-favorite quote.

 "Sollava Naan Sollava"

Release and reception
After two years of making, the film was finally released on 14 January 2007 on the eve of Pongal with low publicity.

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "For fans of Karthik it will be a let down. For neither the actor nor the film works at any level". The Hindu wrote "Anything well begun raises expectations. A film that starts with an interesting scene makes the viewers sit up for a fairly sumptuous fare. Thus when `Kalakkarae Chandru' opens with a scene a la the famous `Kaun Banega Crorepati' one's curiosity is aroused. But as the film progresses one realises with dismay that it is about the one and only gripping segment. It is again a case of the director unable to make use of a good theme".

The Knife Feels Like Justice is the debut album by American musician Brian Setzer, released in 1986 on the EMI America record label.

In contrast to the rockabilly sound of his earlier band Stray Cats, this album emphasizes a roots rock sound, in the style of one of his major influences, John Cougar Mellencamp. Setzer utilized Mellencamp's producer, Don Gehman, and his drummer, Kenny Aronoff, for the studio recordings.

The album peaked at number 45 on the US Billboard album chart in April 1986. A music video for the title track was shot on Pueblo land near Taos, New Mexico. The video features all the musicians from the studio recording except drummer Aronoff, whose onscreen substitute was the E Street Band's Max Weinberg.

It was re-released on CD in 1990 and again in 1999. In 2007 it was released again as part of a "2 albums on 1 CD" format, paired with his 1988 follow-up album Live Nude Guitars. An import CD version is also available.
