The 2004 Green National Convention was held at the Hyatt Regency and the Midwest Airlines Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on June 23–28, 2004 to nominate the Green Party's candidates for president and vice president.

Ralph Nader, the Green Party nominee for president in 2000, did not seek the nomination of the Green Party, but instead sought the endorsement of his independent candidacy by the party. An endorsement of Nader's campaign would have allowed for each state party affiliated with the national Green Party to choose their own candidate. On the opening day of the convention, Nader's running mate and former Green Party nominee for Governor of California Peter Camejo debated David Cobb of Texas, who was seeking the Green Party's nomination against the Nader candidacy.

In that interview, Camejo called on the Green National Convention to endorse both Nader and David Cobb and allow individual parties to choose which candidate to put on their primary ballot. Cobb criticized the Nader-Camejo ticket for not seeking the Green Party's nomination and running independently of the party.

Round 1 of presidential nomination voting
The voting at the national convention was complicated by the broad support for Ralph Nader, the 2000 nominee, in spite of his not seeking nor expressing interest in accepting the Green nomination in 2004. Several candidates, most notably Peter Camejo, presented themselves in various states as stand-ins for Nader. Many Nader supporters voted "no nominee" in order to free the convention and state parties to endorse Nader's independent candidacy. At the time of the convention, Nader had already been endorsed by the Reform Party of the United States of America.

770 delegates voting; majority = 386 votes
David Cobb: 308
Peter Camejo: 119.0
Ralph Nader: 117.5
No Nominee: 74.5
Lorna Salzman: 40.0
None of the above: 35.5
Kent Mesplay: 24.0
JoAnne Bier-Beemon: 14.0
Carol A. Miller: 9.5
Dennis Kucinich: 9.0
Uncommitted: 6.5
Paul Glover: 5.5
Dr. Jonathan Far
Eugene Debs: 1

Round 2 of presidential nomination voting
According to the Green papers website, Peter Camejo, Carol Miller, Ralph Nader, and Lorna Salzman were eliminated because they did not indicate, in writing, that they would accept the nomination as the Green Party candidate for president.

770 delegates voting; majority = 386 votes
David Cobb - 408 (53.0%)
No Nominee - 308 (40.0%)
Kent Mesplay - 43 (5.6%)
JoAnne Bier-Beemon - 8 (1.0%)
Abstain - 3 (0.4%)

Vice-presidential candidate
The party also nominated former gubernatorial candidate Pat LaMarche of Maine as its candidate for vice president.

Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc. (GPG), also known as ABC-Clio/Greenwood (stylized ABC-CLIO/Greenwood), is an educational and academic publisher (middle school through university level) which is today part of ABC-Clio. Established in 1967 as Greenwood Press, Inc. and based in Westport, Connecticut, GPG publishes reference works under its Greenwood Press imprint, and scholarly, professional, and general interest books under its related imprint, Praeger Publishers (). Also part of GPG is Libraries Unlimited, which publishes professional works for librarians and teachers.

History

1967–1999
The company was founded as Greenwood Press, Inc. in 1967 by Harold Mason, a librarian and antiquarian bookseller, and Harold Schwartz who had a background in trade publishing. Based in Greenwood, New York, the company initially focused on reprinting out-of-print works, particularly titles listed in the American Library Association's first edition of Books for College Libraries (1967), under the Greenwood Press imprint, and out-of-print periodicals published as American Radical Periodicals under the Greenwood Reprint imprint. In 1969 the company was sold to Williamhouse-Regency, a paper and stationery manufacturing company then on the American Stock Exchange, which led to further expanding its reprint activities as well as starting a microform publishing imprint, Greenwood Microforms.

By 1970 a small scholarly monograph program was established and Robert Hagelstein, formerly with the Johnson Reprint Corporation, a division of Academic Press, was hired as Vice President. In 1973, Mason and Schwartz left the company, and Hagelstein was named President, a position he would hold until his retirement at the end of 1999. During those twenty-seven years, the press wound down its reprint activities diverting its focus to new scholarly, reference, and professional books. This large-scale redirection of the company resulted in the publication of more than 10,000 titles during those years.

On August 25, 1976 the company was sold to the Congressional Information Service, Inc (CIS) and in 1979 became part of the Dutch publishing giant, Elsevier, following Elsevier's purchase of CIS. That same year the press initiated its Quorum Books imprint, which published professional titles in business and law.

On January 1, 1986 GPI expanded yet again when it purchased Praeger Publishers, founded by Frederick A. Praeger in 1949, from CBS, Inc., and in 1989 when it acquired Bergin & Garvey and Auburn House.

At the beginning of 1990, the company's name was changed from Greenwood Press, Inc. to Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc. When Elsevier merged with Reed International in 1993, GPG became part of Reed Elsevier, and by the mid-1990s the operational part of GPG joined with Heinemann USA, which had been part of Reed.

When Hagelstein retired at the end of 1999, Wayne Smith was named president. Under Smith, GPG made a number of additional acquisitions including the Ablex and Oryx imprints and Libraries Unlimited, and expanded GPG's on line and CD-ROM products under its Greenwood Electronic Media imprint.

2000–present
On July 12, 2001, Reed Elsevier completed its acquisition of Harcourt. Harcourt became a wholly owned subsidiary of Reed Elsevier and GPG became part of Harcourt Education.

On December 13, 2007, GPG became part of Houghton Mifflin Company as a result of Houghton's acquisition of Harcourt.

On October 1, 2008, ABC-Clio and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt announced an agreement granting ABC-Clio a perpetual license to use the imprints and publish the titles of Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc. (GPG), including Greenwood Press, Praeger Publishers, Praeger Security International, and Libraries Unlimited. In addition, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt would also transfer certain assets, including copyrights, contracts and inventory, of Greenwood Publishing Group to ABC-Clio. This agreement became effective immediately. The 88 Post Road West office in Westport, Connecticut was closed as a result, with layoffs scheduled to begin in first week in December 2008. The transfer of GPG to ABC-CLIO occurred during 2009.

Lyle C. "Tre" Smith III (born April 4, 1984) is a former American football running back.

High school
A heavily lauded running back at Venice High School, Smith earned two All-Florida selections, All-American honors from multiple publications (Tom Lemming’s Prep Football Report, SuperPrep Magazine), and won the Florida Class 5A Player of the Year award his junior season after leading Venice High School to a Florida Class 5A state championship.

Oenothera deltoides is a species of evening primrose known by several common names, including birdcage evening primrose, basket evening primrose, lion in a cage, and devil's lantern. It is native to the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where it grows in sandy habitats from desert to beach.

The plant is grayish with basal, deltoid leaves. The large white flowers turn pinkish as they mature. When the plants die, the stems curl upward and form the "birdcage" for which the common name is derived.

There are five subspecies. One of these, the Antioch Dunes Evening Primrose (ssp. howellii), is a federally listed endangered species known from a few sandy spots in the Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge just inland from the San Francisco Bay Area in California.

Oenothera caespitosa is very similar, but lacks stems and has slightly larger flowers.

The 2004 Alabama Crimson Tide football team represented the University of Alabama during the 2004 NCAA Division I-A football season. This was the team's 72nd season in the SEC. The Crimson Tide were led by head coach Mike Shula who was entering his second season as head coach. They began their season with trying to improve from a 4–9 (2–6) record from the 2003 season. The 2004 squad finished the season with a record of 6–6 following a loss to Minnesota in the Music City Bowl.

The team began the 2004 season at 3–0 with blowout victories over Utah State, Mississippi, and Western Carolina. The Tide's starting quarterback Brodie Croyle was injured during the Western Carolina game and lost for the season. Without him, the team struggled to find consistent offense against SEC opponents Arkansas and South Carolina. The team rebounded to have multiple blowouts victories in three of the next four games, only losing to rival Tennessee. The season ended on a three-game slide, losing to rivals LSU and Auburn, also losing in the Music City Bowl to Minnesota. This season also marks the first time since 1958 in which Alabama was absent from the AP poll top 25 every week of the season while also being the first year that Alabama did not play a game at Legion Field.

One of the most expensive signings in A-League history, the big defending-midfielder has always been a standout player in the A-League. Griffiths is renowned for his ability to break up the opposition's gameplay and being the central figure to his team's build-up play.

Griffiths starred for Central Coast Mariners from 2010 until he moved to Chinese club Guangzhou R&F in 2012. That departure attracted a $1.3 million transfer fee which remains an A-League record.

Club career
Born in Stoke-on-Trent, England, Griffiths started his youth career with Australian club ECU Joondalup before moving to England to play for Blackburn Rovers where he never made a senior appearance but during the time he spent at Blackburn he joined Gretna on loan in January 2008. where he made his debut for the side against Heart of Midlothian in February.

Adelaide United
On 3 February 2009 he was signed as an injury replacement player by A-League club Adelaide United. With the initial agreement only covering a four-week stint, there is an option to extend that to a two-year contract. However, it is a permanent deal, and not a loan.

North Queensland Fury

On 2 July 2009, it was announced that Griffiths would join A-League club North Queensland Fury for their inaugural season. On 8 August 2009 he started in Fury's first A-league match and scored the Fury's first ever goal in a competitive match against Sydney FC.

Guangzhou R&F
On 29 February 2012 it was announced that he had signed for Chinese Super League club Guangzhou for a fee that was undisclosed at the time, but later revealed to be $1.3 million, a record sum for an Australian transfer.

Perth Glory (2014–2015)
On 23 January 2014 it was announced that Griffiths returned to the A-League, signing with Perth Glory.

On 4 December 2014, Griffiths scored his first goal of the 2014–15 season against Sydney FC in the 84th minute before Andy Keogh scored in the 86th minute to earn a late 2–1 comeback.

Roda JC
On 26 July 2015, Perth Glory released Griffiths to allow him to sign a two-year deal with newly promoted Eredivise club Roda JC. Following struggles for game-time, Griffiths left Roda JC after one season on 19 April 2016.

Perth Glory (2016–2017)
On 24 July 2016, Griffiths returned once more to the A-League, signing a two-year deal with Perth Glory after trialling with them on their Philippines Tour. On 2 October 2016, he was announced as captain of the club.

Pakhtakor Tashkent

On 1 August 2017, Perth Glory announced that Griffiths would be leaving the club with immediate effect to join Uzbek League side Pakhtakor Tashkent. Griffiths left Pakhtakor in May 2018, citing family reasons.

Melbourne City

, also known as Ueekata, and Yomitan Yara, is credited with being one of the first to disseminate martial arts (te) throughout Okinawa Island. Yara is most noted for teaching Takahara Peichin who would later become the sensei (mentor) of Sakugawa Kanga (1733-1815), the father of Okinawan karate. Depending on Sakugawa's birth date, Yara may have been his teacher also (based on the kata he taught).

Yara was from Chatan Village, on Okinawa Island.

There is a popular Shito-Ryu kata named 'Chatanyara Kushanku', the kata was taught to Teruo Hayashi by Nagamine Shoshin. Chatanyara kushanku is one of many variants of the popular 'Kushanku' family of katas taught on Okinawa.

Biography
According to most accounts, Yara's parents sent him to China at the age of 12 under the advice of his uncle to study the Chinese language and the martial arts. It was here he mastered the use of the bō and sai under the guidance of his teacher Wong Chung-Yoh.

Shortly after returning to Shuri around 1700, Yara came to the assistance of a woman being harassed by a samurai. First avoiding the samurai's sword attacks, Yara acquired an eku (oar) from a nearby boat and successfully disarmed and killed the samurai. Soon after this rescue, he was recruited by local officials to teach his martial art to the local community for the purpose of self-defense.

Chatan Yara is credited as the originator of the popular (Chatan) Yara Kusanku, Chatan Yara no Sai (iron truncheon), and Chatan Yara no Kon (6 foot staff) kata that are commonly found in Okinawan martial arts. His son, known as Yara Guwa ("Little Yara") is the developer of the well-known Yara Guwa no Tonfa kata.

The House of Hate is a 1918 American film serial directed by George B. Seitz, produced when many early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based in Fort Lee, New Jersey.

The serial was originally announced at fifteen episodes but due to its box office success was extended to twenty, at which time content involving German spies was interpolated into the murder mystery plot.

A print of a condensed featurized version of The House of Hate from the collection of filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein is held in the Gosfilmofond film archive in Russia. Most of the propagandistic spy content is excised in the condensation, which does not include chapter divisions but does apparently include most of the content of episodes 1-4 as originally released, highlights from the middle chapters of the serial, and the complete finale including the extended flashback in which the masked villain's identity is revealed. On April 12, 2015 the Fort Lee Film Commission held a screening of a video transfer of existing footage from this film lasting three hours, including shots of Pearl White atop Cliffhanger Point on the Hudson Palisades.

A restored version of the serial with reconstructed opening titles, dialogue, chapter summaries, and chapter divisions was released on DVD by The Serial Squadron on May 25, 2015.

Shortly after Winthrop Waldron, munitions magnate and head of the house of Waldon, arranges for the betrothal of his only heir, his adopted daughter Pearl, to her cousin so that control of his munitions empire will remain in the family, he is mysteriously murdered by a black-cowled killer who has sworn an oath of hate against him and Pearl. With Waldron's death, Pearl becomes owner of America's largest munitions factory - the Waldon War Works. Harry Gresham, a young scientist/engineer, is in love with Pearl, and after the betrothal she finds that she regards him more highly than she does her cousin. Another cousin, Naomi, is in love with Gresham and does her best to block his efforts to win Pearl.

With Gresham's help, Pearl must fend off repeated, wildly violent and merciless attacks on her life by the masked man throughout the serial. All the living Waldon relatives, including another brother, Ezra, seem to be scheming at one time or another to deprive Pearl of her inheritance, but which, if any of the three, is really the masked maniac who threatens her life? Pearl and Harry receive and investigate mysterious messages from someone who purports to know the identity of the killer, and eventually team up and attempt to infiltrate the underworld, using false identities and enduring (literal) cliff-hanging ordeals in order to try and unmask and defeat the Hooded Terror and his gang of crooks.

A constitutional referendum was held in the Gambia on 8 August 1996. The new constitution was approved by 70% of voters, with a voter turnout of 87%.

Background
Elected president Dawda Jawara was overthrown in a military coup led by Yahya Jammeh on 22 July 1994. Following the coup, Jammeh ruled Gambia by decree as head of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council, with all political activity banned. He promised a return to civilian rule within four years, and a constitution was drawn up following a controversial consultation process.

The new constitution allowed for multiparty elections, an unlimited number of five year presidential terms and lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.

Results

Aftermath
Presidential elections were held in August 1996, which were won by Jammeh (despite him denying that he would stand until shortly before the election). In January 1997, parliamentary elections were held and won by Jammeh's Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction.

Worriedaboutsatan (stylized as worriedaboutsatan) is an electronic band that originated in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, UK. The band was formed by Gavin Miller in 2006 as a fusion of glitch, techno, electronica, rock and metal, later joined by Tom Ragsdale.

History
The band is composed of Gavin Miller and formerly Tom Ragsdale, who met while both attending Leeds College of Music. Worriedaboutsatan began as a Gavin Miller's side project, but it later became the joint focus of Miller and Ragsdale.

The band's mixture of rock and electronic genres can be attributed to Miller's and Ragsdale's musical influences, which give equal importance to post-rock bands such as Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai as well as electronic dance music artists such as Underworld. Worriedaboutsatan's sound, in reflection of its musical tastes, is in the band's own words, an attempt 'to fuse elements of everything we listen to—glitch, techno, electronica, rock [and] metal'.

Worriedaboutsatan's music has appeared on several BBC Radio shows, including Steve Lamacq's show on BBC 6 Music and Tom Robinson's Introducing and Mary Anne Hobbs' Experimental Show, both on BBC Radio 1. Since 23 July 2008, its music has also been featured in episodes of the British soap opera Coronation Street.

In 2011, the duo launched a new project, Ghosting Season, and put worriedaboutsatan on hold. In 2014, worriedaboutsatan returned and released the single "I'm Not"/"The Next Round".

In June 2019, Thomas left the band to focus on his solo career.

Releases
The first release from the band was a self-titled EP, more commonly known as EP1. It was released in 2006 and is now out of print, although currently available online. The single, "An Infinity of Oncoming Lights" was released in 2006.

The second EP, entitled EP02, was released in late 2007 to a largely positive critical response, with solid recommendation from Traffic magazine (March 2008). The track "Relative Minors" featured the vocals of local singer-songwriter Paul Marshall. It was mastered at Transition Studios, who have also worked with Burial and Kode9.

The band's debut album, Arrivals, was released on 25 May 2009, on Gizeh Records. It has received good critical response, including a 7.6 score on Pitchfork. A remix album, Arrivals Remixed was released in December 2009. and a single, "Heart Monitor" followed in 2010.

After a four-year absence, "I'm Not"/"The Next Round" was released on the This is it Forever label in March 2014. On 16 March 2015, the band released its first album in six years, titled Even Temper, followed by the album Blank Tape a year later, tracks from which appeared in the Adam Curtis BBC documentary HyperNormalisation.

On 4 October 2019, the one-piece band released its sixth studio album, named Blind Tiger.

Live shows
The band started out using a desktop PC with the software package Reason to run the electronic elements, while the two members either played guitar or controlled the PC via a MIDI controller. This changed in 2008 to using an iMac with the software package Ableton Live. The band now use two laptops: Ragsdale's runs the electronic elements via Ableton Live, while Miller's runs the software package Guitar Rig, through which he plays live guitar.

Earlier shows found the band performing on the floor with the audience instead of the stage, which gave Ragsdale the ability to walk out into the crowd while playing guitar. However, later performances saw the role of guitarist given solely to Miller, while Ragsdale took control of the computer and electronic elements.

Among the many bands that Worriedaboutsatan have performed with include 65daysofstatic, iLiKETRAiNS, Dälek, Yndi Halda, Ólafur Arnalds, and Maybeshewill.

Etymology
The band's name, Worriedaboutsatan, is taken from a song of the same name by Belgian rock band Deus. It was a B-side of its 1996 single "Theme From Turnpike".

Blondins (also known as Henderson Inclined Cableways) were a type of material ropeway; they were named after the famous tightrope walker Charles Blondin.

Description
Blondins are a specialized type of material ropeway that incorporates a mechanism to raise and lower loads vertically from the suspended ropeway. This allowed them to cross wide, deep spaces such as quarries and move material from the floor up to the level of the ropeway and across to the edge of the quarry. They are powered either by a steam or electrical hoist.

History

Blondins were developed by John Fyfe, a Scottish quarry engineer. He installed the first example in 1872 at Kemnay granite quarry at Garioch. In 1896, John M. Henderson and Co. introduced the first commercially available Blondin system, which used steel ropes instead of the earlier iron ropes. The first installation at a Welsh slate quarry was a pair of blondins at Pen-yr-Orsedd quarry in 1899. These were powered by stationary steam engines.

Penrhyn quarry in Bethesda was based around a single large pit over 400 feet deep, worked as a series of terraces. It adopted blondins in 1913. A variety of means were used to transport slate from the terraces to the mills where the rock was processed. The quarry already had an extensive internal narrow gauge railway system in place, and many terraces were connected via inclines. Blondins were used to connect more remote terraces directly to the mills - they were distinguished by the fact that rock was transported on the ropeways in railway wagons slung from cradles. The ropeways ran horizontally or nearly horizontally until the cradle hit a stop, at which point the wagons were automatically lowered to ground level, where they were moved by rail to the point of loading or unloading.

Uses
Blondins were used in many countries, notably United Kingdom and the United States. Though most well-known in the Welsh slate industry, they were used in quarries of many sorts, and on bridge construction and other engineering projects.

In an educational milieu MSIP can be defined as the either the Manitoba School Improvement Plan or the Multi-Subject Instructional Period.  For the purpose of this article the acronym  MSIP will be used exclusively to refer to the multi-subject instructional period.

The Manitoba School Improvement Project dates from 1994, when it was established as a result of the vision of the Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation, a Canadian charitable foundation. The Foundation was interested in enhancing education fm was begun. Established initially with a very definite urban focus, the program has in recent years expanded to not only include the province's rural community but other Canadian jurisdictions.

MSIP promotes an alternative academic schedule for high school students. Students in Canada generally attend high schools where the school year is divided into two semesters consisting of four period days.  Class time can vary slightly but most classes last between 70 and 76 minutes. Instead of the standard four 75-minute periods found in the semestered school MSIP schools adopt five 60-minute periods including one 60-minute multi-subject instructional period.

How MSIP works

Students attend their regular four classes each day plus a one-hour supervised MSIP class.  Students in any one MSIP class are arranged in multi-grade formation with varied levels of ability. Their course selections determine their timetable and where the MSIP class will fall.  In many cases the MSIP class begins with 20 minutes of silent literacy work - reading or writing complementing the movement to improve literacy skills. The rest of the period students may use for work on assignments, make up work they missed due to absences or get help in areas where they are falling behind.
Students have the ability to move within the school environment during their MSIP period to seek extra help, use computer and research resources, attend guidance counselling appointments and meet with subject teachers where possible. The flexibility of this format alleviates the disruption normally associated with the typical semesterted schedule.

Structural Benefits
Resources: MSIP increases students’ access to learning resources. During their MSIP, students are allowed to travel to an area like a computer lab to do research, to a science lab to complete an assignment, or see a teacher for academic support. MSIP schools report
that on any given period approximately 5% of students travel to an area outside of the
MSIP class. Schools experiencing timetabling difficulties due to a shortage of lab space and gymnasium facilities have in effect created more facility opportunities with this 5 period system.

Timetable Conflicts: One of the early goals of the MSIP schedule was to deal with the increased number of conflicts students were experiencing in a shrinking school. Having 5 slots to place classes reduces the probability of class overlaps.

Educational Benefits

Studies of existing MSIP schools show improvement in students' inductive thinking abilities, improved group interactions skills and an improvement in students’ abilities to memorize information.  For many non-academic students MSIP also provides shorter classes making it easier for students to focus and complete homework in their MSIP class before going home.

Student-Centered Learning is a by-product of the MSIP period. The MSIP format demands that students be self-directed and organized each day by creating an environment of student autonomy - students are in charge of their own agenda. Homework, research and even group meetings are scheduled by the student during their MSIP period.  This results in an increased level of responsibility and ownership over their own learning.

Mastering Learning: Research emphasizes the need for “do time” for consolidation of learning; MSIP provides this time. Each day students will have 60 minutes of ‘do time’ to complete homework, prepare for tests, and work on projects and assignments. This time will promote ‘mastering’ learning and prepare students to learn new concepts and skills, thus improving overall performance.

The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN), formerly known as the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, is a Saskatchewan-based First Nations organization. It represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan and is committed to honouring the spirit and intent of the Numbered Treaties, as well as the promotion, protection and implementation of these promises made over a century ago.

Early history
Precursors to the FSIN include, in 1919, the establishment of the Indian League of Canada or League of Indians of Canada, based in Ontario, that led to the league holding an annual congress in Saskatchewan, in 1921, at the Thunderchild First Nation. In 1929, The League of Indians of Western Canada is formed, with John Tootoosis of the Poundmaker First Nation the first president. In 1933, a group of Saskatchewan "Treaty #4 First Nations; Pasqua, Piapot, and Muscowpetung," known as the Allied Bands, reorganize to become the Saskatchewan Treaty Protection Association then later, Protective Association for Indians and their Treaties. In 1943, The Association of Saskatchewan Indians, led by Joe Dreaver, is formed and quickly grows to become one of the largest bodies representing First Nations in the province.

Then "the Premier of Saskatchewan, T.C. Douglas became involved. Premier Douglas was concerned about the plight of First Nations people in Saskatchewan. He was interested in helping to unite the three major First Nations organizations in the province." Chiefs and leaders gathered in Fort Qu'Appelle in 1946, amalgamating provincial groups to become the Union of Saskatchewan Indians with John Tootoosis as president. The union was created with the merger of at least two other groups, the Protective Association for the Indians and their Treaties, and the Association of Saskatchewan Indians, (officially incorporated in 1945 with Joe Dreaver as president).

In 1958, the First Nations leaders gathered in Fort Qu'Appelle once again, and reviewed the constitution of the union, replacing it with a new organization that more fairly represented the First Nations reality, the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians, and organized as a non-profit. It was decided that the organization be looked upon as a federation of bands and that the power reside in the hands of the Chiefs. The union dropped its non-profit status and evolved into the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations at the convention of 69 Saskatchewan Indian Chiefs in April 1982 (held the same time as the Canadian Constitution was signed, see Treaties section below). The political convention outlined a governing structure that consisted of the Chiefs-in-Assembly, a Senate, an Elders' Council, an executive council and an Indian Government Commission for the FSIN.

In May 2016 the FSIN Chiefs-in-Assembly voted to change the name to the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, retaining the acronym FSIN.

Early activism
The intent of FSIN and its precursors, was the defense and protection treaty rights, land and resources, and came from the desire to "foster [the] economic, educational and social growth" of their people.

Land

Saskatchewan Indian Agricultural Program (SIAP)
Government policies ensured that First Nations farmers found it difficult to farm. With the advent of SIAP (Saskatchewan Indian Agriculture/al Program) governments were passing some control over to indigenous farmers and "...SIAP offered opportunities for Aboriginal peoples to learn about and gain skills in the agricultural sector" "In the 1970s [the 60's according to the SIAP history in Appendix 5 of the Williams report], the groundwork was laid by the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians, the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture, the University of Saskatchewan and the Department of Indian and Northern Development" for SIAP. Another source reports Harold Greyeyes and the "Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Administration (ARDA), in co-operation with the FSIN," established SIAP in 1974. A third source states "SIAP was created under the guidance of Alex Kennedy, a First Nations farmer born in Little Pine First Nation, the first chairman of SIAP – and the second chairman of the former FSIN." Regardless, SIAP was funded in 1975, incorporated in 1978 (with a new logo designed by indigenous artist Gerald McMaster), and ended in 1995, though another source states 2002.

SIAP aimed to 'promote interest in the agriculture industry, develop economically viable farm units and to improve the productive capacity of Indian reserve lands.' Alex Kennedy "envisioned farming and agriculture as ideal initiatives to regain lands leased out to non-Indigenous farmers and carve out an agricultural economy for Indigenous communities. A significant component of the SIAP strategy was education and training courses to integrate both farming techniques and farm business literacy to prospective First Nations farmers." In 1977, SIAP was described as "originally intended to establish 350 individual farm units over the initial 5 year period. However, the thrust of the program is being modified with major emphasis now on the development of large (5-10,000 acre) band owned farms." An article published by the Ag. Rep. in the February 1979 Saskatchewan Indian profiles only four successful band farms, including Star Blanket, and notes reasons for the failure of others. SIAP and its efforts were also profiled in 1981. As of 1989, "SIAP has diversified its activities into a number of areas, including wild rice, alfalfa farming, ethanol production, game ranching (deer, buffalo, elf), and fish farming."  "At its 'zenith … [SIAP] created 600 viable farm units, a marketing company, a loan company and a venture capital company' (Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame 2014)." In 1993, Ken Thomas made a presentation to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, outlining the successes of the program. Gerald Starr, a Tom Longboat Award Winner from 1952, manager of Star Blanket Farm, is recorded as chairman of the board in the 1980s.

 Saskatchewan Indian Agricultural Program (SIAP) - 4H Program. SIAP organized and funded the successful "Indian 4-H" program until it reportedly ended around 1980 or 1990. Harold Greyeyes worked with the 4-H program for many years.
 SIAP Marketing Co. Inc.(incorporated 1984), a subsidiary of SIAP Inc. eventually became Grey Owl Marketing, to market wild rice, and industry encouraged and supported by SIAP. Gerald Starr is also recorded as chairman of the board for this subsidiary.
 SIAP set up the Saskatchewan Indian Loan Company (SILCO) to make agricultural loans to First Nations farmers. It later amalgamated with the Saskatchewan Indian Equity Company as did Inpro West Investment Corporation (INPRO), in 2002–03.

Treaties
"Although small portions of present-day Saskatchewan include lands from Treaty 2 (1871) and Treaty 7 (1877), the five major historical or numbered treaties of this province are Treaty 4 (1874), Treaty 5 (1875–76), Treaty 6 (1876), Treaty 8 (1899–1900), and Treaty 10 (1906–07)."

Over many years the FSI attempted to be recognized and participate in discussions and decisions around the "repatriation" of the Constitution of Canada. These efforts are reported in the Saskatchewan Indian (see Publications below). In April 1982 (the same month the Constitution was signed) the First Nations signed the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations Convention, and agreed to unite in a common front to protect and preserve First Nations' Treaty rights and their political, economic, social and cultural characteristics.

In 1989 the FSIN and the Government of Canada agreed to "create an independent and impartial office which, at that time, would serve to research and provide recommendations on the issues of treaty land entitlement and education for First Nations in Saskatchewan," called the Office of the Treaty Commissioner (1991?-1996). This office's mandate was expanded and the term extended for another five years (1997–2002) which then stretched to ten years. This Office remains in existence today.

Education and society

Colleges
SIAP offered courses in the agricultural sector, sometimes through or at the premises of the Saskatchewan Indian Cultural College and/or the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College and/or at the Saskatchewan Indian Community College.

The Saskatchewan Indian Cultural College was established in 1972. Its name changed to Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Centre and eventually, the Saskatchewan Indigenous Cultural Centre (SICC) in 2016. It was established as a teaching institution to strengthen and support the overall First Nations education and cultural awareness of First Nations People. It was the first First Nations controlled educational institution serving at the provincial level.

The Saskatchewan Indian Federated College, proposed in 1971 and an eventual spin-off of the Saskatchewan Indian Cultural College, was established in 1976 and immediately federated with the University of Regina in May of that same year. "Initially, it offered a Bachelor of Arts Program in Indian Studies within the Faculty of Arts. Other accredited programs were subsequently developed and implemented: Indian Art, Indian Education, Indian Management and Administration, and Indian Social Work Education. All these programs are academically integrated with their respective University of Regina facilities. Ida Wasacase was the first director of the SIFC." Blair Stonechild (Muscowpetung) was the first lecturer. In 1996, 30 years after inception, it remained "the only Indian-controlled, university-level college in the country." In 2003, its name changed to the First Nations University of Canada and gained a new vision statement “The First Nations University of Canada provides an opportunity for students of all nations to learn in an environment of First Nations cultures and values. The university is a special place of learning where we recognize the spiritual power of knowledge and where knowledge is respected and promoted,” and a new building by Indigenous architect Douglas Cardinal.

Founded as the Saskatchewan Indian Community College in 1976, apparently as an off-shoot of the Federated College with a focus on adult education programs, and awarding certificates and diplomas in various technological and vocational fields, SICC's name changed to Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) in 1985. In 2000, the province enacted the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies Act that acknowledged the school as a full, post-secondary institution.

Selection of publications
The Worldcat Identities database record for the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians clearly shows a time frame for their publications, based on items held at various libraries. Roughly 84 works from 1970 to 1985 are recorded, published in one language. The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations Identity record clearly shows a stronger record of publishing, with roughly 168 works in more languages (4), from 1982–1983 to 2015–2016. There have not been a significant number of publications held at libraries, published by the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations. There have been publications from committees and task forces, plus the colleges and University, not included under the names listed above. The Saskatchewan Indigenous Cultural Centre holds a number of items, searchable in their library catalogue.
 The Saskatchewan Indian [journal], 1970-1983(?) or 2011. Originally published by FSI, FSIN, then by the Saskatchewan Indian Media Corporation (funded 1987–1990).
 In July 1979 the Saskatchewan Indian produced an issue titled The Constitutional Journey outlining indigenous efforts to be recognized and involved in deliberations around the Constitution.
 April 1982 the "Constitution Special Issue" published, dated the same day the Constitution of Canada was signed. It covered the history, law and politics of indigenous efforts to be recognized and included in the process of repatriation [the Constitution] and Canada acquiring independence. Articles document efforts to be included in the process, including the work of FSI's Constitution Commission (pre-repatriation efforts).

The Pine Creek Rail Trail is the only rail trail in the Appalachian Mountains of north-central Pennsylvania.

The trail begins just north of Wellsboro, runs south through Pine Creek Gorge (also known as the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania) and ends at Jersey Shore. A article in USA Today from 2001 named the  trail as one of the "10 great places to take a bike tour" in the world.

Route

The Pine Creek Rail Trail spans approximately  from end to end, following a primarily north–south orientation. It is located  entirely within Tioga and Lycoming Counties. Additionally, a portion of the trail is designated as BicyclePA Route G.

The trail's northern terminus is near the intersection of U.S. Route 6 and Pennsylvania Route 287, about  north of Wellsboro. Parking for the northern terminus is located at the southernmost end of Butler Road.  The trail parallels Route 6 in a southwesterly direction for about  until it reaches the village of Ansonia. South of Ansonia, the trail parallels Pine Creek as it goes south along the floor of Pine Creek Gorge. It passes through Leonard Harrison State Park and the Tioga State Forest. Approximately  south of Ansonia, the trail passes through the village of Blackwell. The section between Ansonia and Blackwell is very remote, and much of the trail is inaccessible by road.

South of Blackwell, the trail enters Lycoming County and the Tiadaghton State Forest. It parallels Pennsylvania Route 414 for about . Pennsylvania Route 414 ends near the unincorporated village of Waterville. South of Waterville, the trail parallels Pennsylvania Route 44 for approximately  until the trail reaches its southern terminus in Jersey Shore. (Parking at Railroad St. and Humes St.) Between Blackwell and Jersey Shore, the trail crosses the highway and Pine Creek several times, and it is almost always within sight of both the road and the creek.

History

The Native American Pine Creek Path followed Pine Creek from Jersey Shore to Ansonia and beyond. The earliest industry in the region was logging. In the years between 1820 and 1883, trees were floated down the creek to sawmills in Jersey Shore and Williamsport. In 1883, the Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo Railway opened. Sawmills were constructed in several communities along the creek, and finished products were carried out by train. Coal mining was another important industry, and coal was also shipped along the railroad.

After a series of reorganizations, the railroad along Pine Creek became a part of the New York Central Railroad and eventually Conrail. Freight and passenger service continued until 1988, when Conrail ended rail service. The tracks were removed, and the first section of the Pine Creek Rail Trail opened in 1996. The trail opened in stages with the most recent section (from Ansonia to just north of Wellsboro) being completed in 2007. The trail is operated by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

In 2001, an article in the USA Today newspaper named the Pine Creek Rail Trail one of "10 great places to take a bike tour" in the world. It was one of only five places in the continental United States on the list, which was compiled by Patricia Vance, author of bicycle touring guides. The article cited the "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania" as "idyllic in fall" and mentioned the "gorge with views of the cliffs and mixed hardwood forest".

During the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps built numerous roads, bridges, and trails through the area. Evidence of their work is still visible and is commemorated with a sign near the Darling Run trail access area.

Activities

The trail is relatively flat with only gentle grades. It is topped with crushed limestone. The trail is used for bicycling and hiking during the spring, summer and fall, and the trail is used for cross-country skiing during the winter. Between Ansonia and Tiadaghton, horseback riding is permitted on the trail.

The trail intersects with several hiking trails, including the Pennsylvania Mid State Trail. During some parts of the year, people can be found fishing, canoeing, and kayaking when the weather is warm. The water level in the creek varies significantly, and is sometimes too shallow for boating.

Hawks and other large birds have been said to be seen by viewers along the trail, along with Canada geese, ducks, and occasionally bald eagles. Bears and white-tailed deer live in the wooded areas and are seen along the trail.

Without a written permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, motorized vehicles are strictly forbidden from using the trail. This ban includes motorcycles, snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles.

Camping is allowed only in certain areas such as Bonell Flats and Black Walnut Bottom along the trail, and permits for these locations must be obtained in advance from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Several private campgrounds are located near the trail. Numerous lodging establishments are available in Wellsboro and Jersey Shore. There are also small lodging establishments located in Blackwell and Cedar Run, and private cabin rentals are available along the trail.

Parking areas and composting toilets are available at regular intervals along the entire length of the trail. Several water pumps are provided along the trail, but trail users should carry enough water to last for the duration of their trips. The boroughs of Wellsboro and Jersey Shore offer a full array of services and supplies. Restaurants are located in Blackwell, Cedar Run, Slate Run, Waterville and Jersey Shore, while gasoline and other supplies are available at general stores located in Ansonia, Slate Run and Waterville.

Future expansion
The final section of the trail opened in 2007, and there are no immediate plans to expand the trail at this time. Several groups have proposed expanding the trail into the borough of Wellsboro or building a trail along the West Branch Susquehanna River between Jersey Shore and Williamsport.

The Boston Red Sox are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Boston, Massachusetts. From  to the present, the Red Sox have played in Fenway Park. The "Red Sox" name originates from the iconic uniform feature. They are sometimes nicknamed the "BoSox", a combination of "Boston" and "Sox" (as opposed to the "ChiSox"), the "Crimson Hose", and "the Olde Towne Team". Most fans simply refer to them as the Sox.

One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the club was founded in Boston in . They were a dominant team in the early 20th century, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first World Series in . They won four more championships by , and then went into one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history. Many attributed the phenomenon to the "Curse of the Bambino" said to have been caused by the trade of Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in . The drought was ended and the "curse" reversed in , when the team won their sixth World Series championship. Championships in  and  followed. Every home game from May 15, 2003, through April 10, 2013, was sold out—a span of 820 games over nearly ten years. The team most recently won the World Series in , the ninth championship in franchise history.

Year by year

Regular season record by decade
The number of regular season games scheduled each season has varied over time, from as low as 140 to the current 162, which has been in place since 1961.

Not all scheduled games are played each season, for reasons such as work stoppages or, infrequently, rained-out games that are not rescheduled. Prior to the delayed-start  season, when teams played a reduced schedule of 60 games and only faced opponents within their own division, the most recent season during which the Red Sox did not play a full 162-game schedule was 2001, when they played 161 games.

 The season was partially canceled due to a players' strike that lasted 50 days. See 1981 Major League Baseball strike.
 The season was partially canceled due to a players' strike that lasted 223 days. See 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike.
 The Red Sox finished 95–67 and with the same record as the New York Yankees, but since the Yankees had won the season series between the two teams, the Yankees were declared division winners and the Red Sox qualified for the postseason as the American League Wild Card.
 Total games count is the sum of wins and losses—consistent with major-league record keeping, tie games are excluded from team records and season standings although individual player statistics are counted.

Yann Jouffre (; born 23 July 1984) is a French former professional footballer who played as a midfielder for Nîmes, Guingamp, Lorient and FC Metz.

Club career
Born in Montélimar, Drôme, Jouffre made his professional debut for Nîmes Olympique on 23 January 2002, coming on as a substitute for Christophe Van Reusel in a 0–0 draw with FC Istres. He made nine other appearances that season, scoring in a 3–1 loss to RC Strasbourg. Jouffre had his breakout year the next season making another 32 appearances and scoring four goals, earning himself a transfer to Ligue 1 side En Avant de Guingamp in the summer of 2003.

Jouffre struggled in his first season at Guingamp, managing just 100 minutes of football across six appearances. The 2004–05 season, though, as the club was relegated to Ligue 2, was much more successful for him and by the end of the season he was an established first team regular, with 26 appearances to his name. The 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons were similarly successful for Jouffre, scoring four and five times in 32 and 35 Ligue 2 appearances respectively.

In January 2008, Jouffre signed for Ligue 1 club FC Lorient, after 116 appearances for Guingamp, for an undisclosed fee. He made an immediate impact at Lorient, appearing in every match from rounds 22 to 38. A season injury in July 2009 meant he was to make just eight appearances for the 2009–10 season. The 2010–11 season proved to be another struggle for Jouffre as he struggled for form and fitness making just 13 appearances and scoring a solitary goal. The 2011–12 season saw Jouffre return to form he had not had for a few years as he marauded up and down the right flank for Lorient, scoring three goals and managing a further seven assists in 30 Ligue 1 appearances. The following 2012–13 season saw similar success for him as he managed four goals and six assists playing the first half of the season as a right winger before being moved to a central position behind the striker for the second half of the season. The 2013–14 season saw Jouffre score a career high six goals and manage a career high eight assists in what was potentially his best ever club football season.

On 11 June 2016, it was announced that Jouffre had signed for newly promoted Ligue 1 club Metz after eight seasons with Lorient.

The City of Norwich School, more commonly known as CNS, is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status in Norwich, England.

History
In 1910, the Education Committee decided to merge the King Edward VI Middle School in Norwich with the Municipal and Presbyterian Schools for boys to create the new City of Norwich School, a boys' grammar school, which was to be built at Eaton.

Grammar school
It had around 950 boys in 1960, and around 850 in 1969 when administered by the Norwich Education Committee.

Comprehensive
It became a comprehensive in 1970 at which point its name changed to Eaton (City of Norwich) School and co-educational in 1971. Three female sixth-formers were admitted in 1972 (Hazel, Marian and Mary.) The school was refurbished in 2007. The Arc is a new building, as is the Skinner Centre.

Academy
Previously a community school administered by Norfolk County Council, City of Norwich School converted to academy status on 1 September 2014 and is now sponsored by Ormiston Academies Trust. However the school continues to co-ordinate with Norfolk County Council for admissions.

Admissions
It has over 1,500 pupils and currently employs over 190 staff. As well as being a secondary comprehensive school the school also has a sixth form, in partnership with the smaller Hethersett High School, with 791 pupils.

It is situated just west of the A146 ring road (former A47), with the A11 to the north and the A140 to the south. Eaton Golf Club is next door to the south-west.

House system
The pupils from Years 7 to 11 at CNS are split into five houses named after notable coastal villages in Norfolk: Blakeney, Holkham, Kelling, Thornham and Winterton. Their house colours are Blue, Purple, Green, Yellow and Red respectively. Pupils in Year 12 and 13 are not categorised into houses and instead belong as a singular community known as CNS Sixth Form.

Charities Week
CNS Charities Week is a week usually the last school week before Christmas where the pupils and members of staff attempt to raise as much money as possible for a charity of the school's choice. The week involves antics such as Total Wipeout, The X Factor, a teacher auction and CNS Got Talent.

Dunvegan ( ) is an unincorporated community within the Municipal District of Fairview No. 136 in northern Alberta, Canada.  It is located  south of the town of Fairview on the northern bank of the Peace River at the mouth of the Hines Creek.

Highway 2 crosses the Peace River at Dunvegan on Alberta's longest vehicle suspension bridge. The Dunvegan Formation was named for this community.

History
The area was inhabited by the Beaver (Dunne-za) First Nation. The first European explorers arrived in the late 18th century.
Fort Dunvegan was established in 1805 by North West Company fur trader Archibald Norman McLeod, who named it after Dunvegan Castle in Scotland. Today, Dunvegan Provincial Park offers tours of the restored Hudson's Bay Company Factor's House (built 1877), St. Charles Church, St. Charles Rectory, and Revillon Freres Trading Post to the public during the summer months.  A campground is also located onsite.

The fort is designated as a historic site by Parks Canada.

Gregory Alan Flener (born February 25, 1969) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played parts of three seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB)

Career
Flener attended Armijo High School (Fairfield, California), then spent three years at California State University, Fullerton pursuing a business major. During those three seasons, Flener had a record of 21-3 as a starting pitcher. After the 1989 season, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham A's of the Cape Cod Baseball League and was named a league all-star. He left school before completing his degree when the Toronto Blue Jays selected him in the ninth round of the 1990 MLB Draft.

Flener played for the Blue Jays in 1993, 1996, and 1997. Though the Blue Jays won the World Series in 1993 and Flener was awarded a World Series ring, he did not play in any post-season games and was not on the playoff roster. Flener continued playing minor league baseball until January 2001, when he lost his right eye after being struck by a batted ball while pitching in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.
