Seppois-le-Bas (; ; ) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France. The inhabitants of Seppois-le-Bas are called Bas-Seppoisiens and Bas-Seppoisiennes.

Geography
Bordering the neighboring town of Seppois-le-Haut, it is located at the intersection of the Basel - Montbéliard (the old national road 463) and Porrentruy - Altkirch roads. The nearest major cities  are Bâle 40 kilometers to the east, Mulhouse 30 kilometers to the north, Belfort 40 kilometers to the northwest, Montbéliard 35 km to the west and Delémont 35 km to the south. The Largue is the main river that crosses the town.

History
While the village may have existed as far back as the time of the Celts, the oldest document referring to Saipoy dates from 1164. Another from 1264 and kept in the Lucelle collection confirms its existence. A text dated 1302 reveals a distinction between Seppois-le-Bas (Septen inferioris) and Seppois-le-Haut.

In 1530, the religious authorities and the faithful of a parish comprising the two Seppois, Luffendorf and part of Bisel, signed a charter of 32 decrees, which would be the first of its kind on Alsatian territory.

It is also around this date that the marriage of Marie de Hagenbach and Jean Eusèbe de Breitenlandenberg was celebrated. Their descendants lived in a manor in the village until 1818.

During the Thirty Years' War, the Swedes ravaged the country and in 1633, only one house in the village remained standing.

In 1789, the Lord of Seppois represented the nobility of Southern Alsace at the Estates General in Versailles. At the end of July 1789, during the Great Fear, the peasants attacked the manor. During the Terror, Jean Bochelen, vicar of the village who celebrated masses in secret, was arrested and shot in Colmar in 17989.

In 1871, by the Treaty of Frankfurt, Alsace was ceded to the German Empire, with the exception of the southwestern part of the Haut-Rhin which became the Territoire de Belfort. Due to its bordering position with this new French department, Seppois-le-Bas became a border village and hosted a customs post.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Seppois-le-Bas benefited from the effects of the economic growth of the time. Four annual fairs were set up and a market was established every Wednesday; both have had some success. Although farmers remain largely in the majority, the village also has four restaurants, three carpenters, two bakers, two wheelwrights, two shoemakers, two grocers, two tailors, one butcher, one farrier, one clog maker, one saddler and one cooper. as well as a forge, a mill and a watch case manufacturing unit.

A small Jewish community, essentially commercial, established itself and had its own synagogue. This was destroyed during the First World War and will never be rebuilt. Nowadays, the only vestiges of this community are a Rue des Juifs close to their old place of worship and former cemetery.

A Dannemarie-Pfetterhouse railway line passing through the village was built in 1908 and inaugurated in 1910. This line will continue to operate until 1968, then abandoned. Most of its route was converted into a cycling track in the 1990s.

The village experienced unrest and uncertainty as a result of the First World War: on August 23, 1914 the German army occupied the locality in the morning and the French in the afternoon. On September 3, dragoons from Belfort invaded the village and took behind their lines all the able-bodied men they could still find and who were between the ages of twenty and thirty-two. On September 17, it was the turn of the Germans to come and proceed in the same way.

In October 1914, the front stabilized a few kilometers from the village, which became a cantonment for the French army, with the church tower serving as a watchtower. However, this new status meant that Seppois-le-Bas suffered numerous bombardments until the end of the war.

On January 1, 1915, a ceremony marked the return of the locality to France. But faced with the intensification of the shelling, the civilian population was evacuated at the end of January 1916 and did not return until the spring of 1919 to a village transformed into a field of ruins. These events earned the village the Croix de Guerre of 1914-1918 (Official Journal of November 6, 1921).

During the Second World War, Seppois, like the rest of Alsace, was again annexed to the German Reich, and returned to its status as a border post. Due to its proximity to Switzerland, the village then welcomed several smugglers. However, the village's participation in war came to an end on November 19, 1944, when the Colonial Infantry Regiment of Morocco, incorporated into the first army of General de Lattre de Tassigny, made Seppois-le-Bas the first liberated village in Alsace.

The Saint-Hubert church, destroyed during the First World War and rebuilt in 1928. It replaced the first church of 1859; you can see remarkable sculptures and paintings (stations of the cross, communion bench, high altar, paintings representing Saint Sebastian and Saint Roch) and its organ by Frédéric Haerpfer; beautiful fountains, spread over the main axis;

Memorials:
The monument to the shots of Ballersdorf;

Shootout, also known as Sunday Morning Shootout, was a talk and interview program produced by the cable television network AMC. The episodes first aired on AMC on Sunday mornings, before being rerun and syndicated to other networks (under the title Hollywood Shootout).

The show debuted on October 12, 2003. It was hosted by Peter Bart (a film producer and editor-in-chief of Variety) and film producer and former film studio president Peter Guber.

Each half-hour episode usually had two segments; one in which Guber and Bart discussed various topics in the film industry, and one where they jointly interviewed that week's guest(s).

On December 16, 2008, Bart wrote in his blog on the Variety website that Shootout "will now migrate to a different time and different neighborhood." The last show episode at its regular timeslot was December 21, 2008.

Bart and Guber returned to AMC on February 13, 2009 with Storymakers, which was similar to Shootout, but airing in primetime, albeit infrequently (another episode aired on May 15, 2009).

In 2010, Bart and Guber co-hosted In the House, a similar interview series airing on Encore.

The 1972 South Carolina United States Senate election was held on November 7, 1972 to select the U.S. Senator from the state of South Carolina.  Popular incumbent Republican Senator Strom Thurmond easily defeated Democratic challenger Eugene N. Zeigler. This marked the first time that a Republican was re-elected Senator from the state, and the first time since 1872 when that person won consecutive elections.

Democratic primary
The South Carolina Democratic Party held their primary for governor on August 29, 1972.  Eugene N. Zeigler, a state senator from Florence, defeated John Bolt Culbertson to become the Democratic nominee in the general election.

Republican primary
Senator Strom Thurmond faced no opposition from South Carolina Republicans and avoided a primary election.

General election

Campaign
The general election campaign was a lackluster affair as Thurmond was heavily favored to win re-election and he outspent Zeigler by a margin of four to one.  However, Thurmond's re-election was almost derailed when his hometown newspaper, the Edgefield Advertiser, ran the headline "SEN. THURMOND IS UNPRINCIPLED WITH COLORED OFFSPRING WHILE PARADING AS A DEVOUT SEGREGATIONIST" on the October 11 front page.  The Thurmond campaign fiercely denied that he had sired a black child and claimed that it was a dirty trick being played by the Zeigler campaign.  While the allegation ultimately proved true, at the time it served to galvanize voters for Thurmond.

Víkingur is a Faroese semi-professional football club based in Leirvík. The club was founded in 2008 after the merger of GÍ Gøta and Leirvík ÍF. They play in the stadium is in Norðragøta. Both villages are part of the same municipality Eysturkommuna, located on the island of Eysturoy and about 5 kilometers away from each other. The club won the Faroese championship for the first time in the 2016 season. In the 2017 season, Vikingur won the championship again.

History

Víkingur was founded on 14 January 2008 with the merger of first division GÍ Gøta and second division club Leirvík ÍF. The clubs from two villages linked by a 2.2 km tunnel through a mountain named the new club in honour to Tróndur í Gøtu, a Viking chief from around 1,000 years ago who lived in the settlement that bears his name, and Leirvik which has also Viking origins. First contacts for a merger of the two clubs date back to 2006, but only in summer 2007 drafts for a merger started. On 14 January 2008 in front of 180 members in Leirvik, the merger was decided with the temporary name of a combination of the previous clubs: GÍ/LÍF. Finally, on 4 February, the new name Víkingur was announced, as the best choice out of 18 name proposals.

Víkingur debuted in the Vodafonedeildin on 31 March 2008. The first match was a meeting at home against B68 Toftir, which Víkingur won with a 4–1 score. It was a mixed season for them, with one of the highest points of the season was a 5–0 win at B71 Sandoy. They finished their debut season in a respectable 5th place. They went out of the Faroe Islands Cup at the first hurdle, the match against 07 Vestur was 1–1 after extra time and lost 4–2 in a Penalty shoot-out.

In the 2009 season, Víkingur finished 3rd in the league, three points ahead of NSÍ Runavík.
In the Faroese Cup, they recorded a 5–0 win in the first round against MB Midvagur, in quarter-final Víkingur knocked out HB Torshavn defeating them 2–1. The cup run continued when they defeated ÍF over two legs, 1–0 away and 5–0 at home.
Their opponents in the final were EB/Streymur, Víkingur were winning 2–1 in the second half against favourites EB/Streymur, when Finnur Justinussen scored with 3 minutes to go, to seal the win. EB managed to score a goal minutes later, but the match finished 3–2 and Víkingur won the trophy.

The success of the 2009 season meant Víkingur would get to play in the Europa League in the following season and play against the Faroese league winners in the Faroe Islands Super Cup. The match was against 20 time league champions HB Torshavn, on 14 March 2010. Víkingur lost the match 2–1 and missed out on their second piece of silverware. Víkingur were drawn against Turkish giants Beşiktaş, in the Europa League second qualifying round. Unsurprisingly Víkingur were beaten 3–0 in the first leg, at the BJK İnönü Stadium. The home leg didn't go any better and lost the match 4–0. In 2010, Víkingur made it to the semi-finals of the Faroese Cup, but missed out on a place in the final for a second year running after being beaten by rivals ÍF Fuglafjørður over two legs. In the league they finished the 2010 season in 5th place, narrowly missing out on a place in Europe. Víkingur's final match was at home against ÍF and a draw would have been enough for a place in the top 4, but they lost 3–1, finishing the season behind ÍF level on points and level on goal difference.

Víkingur finished 3rd in the 2011 league season, and were knocked out in the quarterfinals of the Faroese Cup against B68 Toftir, 4–2 on penalties after a 2–2 draw. The team played in UEFA Europa League for 2012–13 season, but was eliminated in the first qualifying round by Gomel of Belarus. In 2012, they were 5th in the league, but won the Cup for the 2nd time in its history. In 2013, the team lost the Super Cup and achieved their worst position in league, finishing 6th, but won the Cup once again, for the 3rd time and the 3rd against EB/Streymur, starting a little cup rivalry. That year they eliminated FC Inter Turku of Finland, winning the second leg away 1–0 and 2–1 on aggregate.

In 2014, they won the Super Cup and the Faroese Cup, both against HB Tórshavn, and finished 3rd in Effodeildin. But the great success of the season was reach the 3rd qualifying round of UEFA Europa League, when they eliminated FC Daugava of Latvia and Tromsø of Norway, being knocked out by Rijeka of Croatia.

The Miles M.65 Gemini was a British twin-engined four-seat touring aircraft designed and built by Miles Aircraft at Woodley Aerodrome. It was the last Miles aircraft to be produced in quantity.

Development of the Gemini was conducted at a rapid pace following the end of the Second World War, the company being keen to bring its new designs to the postwar civil aviation sector. The speed of development was greatly bolstered by basing the design on the single-engined Miles Messenger. First flying on 26 October 1945, the company's confidence in the aircraft was such that sales demonstrations using the prototype started only days later, while efforts to commence large scale production were started immediately.

Within its first year of availability, 130 Geminis had been sold, proving its popularity. It performance was such that it became a successful racing aircraft, with one example alone winning numerous competitions. The company endeavoured to introduce numerous improvements upon the type, along with early work to produce a successor to the Gemini. However, these ambitions were cut short by the company's collapse after its bankruptcy in 1947. While efforts to revive production were made, including the development of the improved Miles M.75 Aries, the type was never able to regain momentum.

Development
In the aftermath of the Second World War, the Air Ministry relinquished much of its wartime control over the British aircraft manufacturing sector; one such manufacturer, Miles Aircraft, was particularly keen to rapidly pursue its own endeavours that were largely orientated towards the civil aviation market. George Miles recognised that there was a vacant niche in this market for a modern twin engined aircraft, and observed that the company could readily develop a derivative of the existing single-engined Miles Messenger that could ideally fit the envisioned role. Deciding to proceed, development proved to be relatively straightforward and progress was made rapidly.

On 26 October 1945, the prototype Gemini performed its maiden flight; it was initially flown with a temporary fixed undercarriage, unlike future aircraft that featured a retractable arrangement instead. Pilots reported that the type was pleasant to fly from the onset. There were relatively few issues encountered with the prototype; while there was an airflow issue discovered that negatively affected three point landings, this was rapidly resolved via the addition of leading edge slats between the fuselage and the engine nacelles. Such was the company's confidence that the prototype was first used to perform flying demonstrations to potential customers only days following its first flight.

The Gemini was put into large scale production straight away; it was also recognised that the superior performance of the type had eliminated for the Miles Mercury, thus production plans for the latter were abandoned in favour of concentrating the company's resources on the Gemini. Such was the market's positive response to the type that 130 Geminis had been sold within its first year of availability. It would in fact be the last Miles-designed aircraft to attain large scale production. While the company had commenced work on developing a Gemini successor, wider events would derail such ambitions.

Miles, recognising the value of the Gemini in its lineup, sought to further develop and improve the type. However, even as the company was finalising work on numerous improvements, including the adoption of new engines, the firm was forced to declare bankruptcy due to the poor state of its finances. Following the collapse of the company during 1947 and the subsequent purchase of the Reading aircraft factory and other assets by rival aircraft manufacturer Handley Page, eight aircraft that had not been completed were assembled; two by Handley Page at Woodley in 1950, five by Wolverhampton Aviation at Pendeford Aerodrome in 1951, and one by F. G. Miles Limited at Redhill Aerodrome.

Design

The Gemini was a four-seat low-wing cantilever monoplane developed for civil transport duties. It was primarily built from plastic-bonded plywood construction. It was furnished with a one-piece wing that was fitted with non-retractable auxiliary aerofoil flaps. Various aspects of the Gemini were shared with the Messenger; while a similar tail unit was one such shared feature, the Gemini had only twin vertical tail units instead of the more complex triple arrangement of the Messenger as the higher wing loading and elevated landing speed raised of the latter made the twin arrangement practical.

The flight controls of the Gemini was well-harmonised and remained effective right up to the stall margin; the characteristics of a typical stall were relatively benign as well and free of any tendency to spin while recovery was rapid. The controls were effective to the extent that the final approach could be performed only barely above touch down speed. One of the few adverse handling characteristics was a marked tendency for the aircraft to swing on takeoff, which was easily addressed by the pilot using full rudder and differential throttle settings to counteract. While not typically fitted as such, a handful of Geminis were outfitted with dual controls.

Originally powered by 90 hp (67,5 kW) Blackburn Cirrus Minor engines, the later-built Gemini variants were powered by several different engines. To give the aircraft its relatively long range, the aircraft featured a pair of 15 gallon outboard tanks that supplemented the two 18 gallon tanks that the design shared with the Messenger. The Gemini was frequently promoted by its manufacturer as being the "safest light aeroplane in the world".

Operational history

The Gemini quickly proved to be popular with private owners for touring throughout Europe. In addition, large numbers were exported to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and numerous other Commonwealth countries. Furthermore, two-thirds of all Geminis that had been initially sold to British customers would be subsequently resold aboard, the type being fairly desirable upon the secondary sales market.

During the late 1940s and early 1950s, individual Geminis were frequently entered in air races; in one example, G-AKDC, flown by J.N. 'Nat' Somers AFC, emerged as the victor of the 1949 King's Cup Air Race (a handicapped event) at 164.25 mph; this aircraft was fitted with de Havilland Gipsy Major engines that were rated at 145 hp each. Being refitted with even more powerful engines, this same Gemini won several further races, including the Siddeley Trophy in 1953, the Kemsley Trophy in 1954, and the Goodyear Trophy in 1955. The racing motorist Prince Bira of Siam also opted to procure a single aircraft for his own purposes.

Several aircraft were used as light business transports by commercial firms, including Shell-Mex & BP, Fairey Aviation and B.K.S Engineering. Other examples were flown by UK independent airlines on light charter work within the British Isles and Europe; the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) being one such operator. A number were also purchased by the Ministry of Civil Aviation for licence testing and radio calibration work.

During 1951, a pair of aircraft were completed by F. G. Miles that were fitted with 155 hp (116 kW) Blackburn Cirrus Major III engines, along with enlarged and heightened fins for better handling during single-engine operations. To reflect the revised design, which gave the aircraft an increased payload amongst other performance changes, they were re-designated Miles M.75 Aries. Although quantity production of this model was not performed, a handful of existing Geminis were retrofitted with some of these changes.

The Cinema Museum in London holds extensive footage of one of these planes touring Europe in the 1950's.

Eichmann Interrogated is a 1982 non-fiction book containing selections from the pre-trial interrogation of high-ranking former Nazi official Adolf Eichmann.

Synopsis
Eichmann was a German World War II war criminal who was living in Argentina under a false identity when he was captured by Israeli forces in 1960.  Upon being brought to Israel, he was interrogated for 275 hours before his trial.  This book contains testimony where Eichmann speaks of his life, from childhood to his years in hiding, though the focus is on his role in organizing the mass executions of civilians, particularly Jews, by the Nazi regime.

Eichmann Interrogated reads mostly as Eichmann denying any personal responsibility for Germany's mass executions.  He repeatedly claims he was only in charge of transportation of Jewish and enemy civilians, he was only following orders, and that disobeying such orders would have result in his own execution.  He also claims that other, previously tried German war criminals, deliberately implicated him to mitigate their personal responsibility.  Eichmann also denies any feelings of antisemitism; indeed, he claims to have attempted to create a homeland for Jews, once in Madagascar and later in Eastern Europe.

These claims are challenged by his interrogator, Avner W. Less, a German Jew who escaped the Holocaust and immigrated to Israel.  Less, who is also quoted in the book, often asks Eichmann about a particular event; after Eichmann denied knowledge of or culpability for it, Less would produce a signed document or other evidence to show Eichmann was responsible.  Eichmann referred to Less as "Herr Hauptmann," German for "Mr. Captain."

Eichmann: Except for the Jewish functionaries, with whom I worked all those years, I did not decide a single personal fate; and as for the functionaries, I never decided their fate, I never had any of them evacuated, let alone killed . . . or anything of the kind.

Less: Now let me show you a letter of December 2, 1942, from your bureau to the Foreign Office.  "Re: The Jew and former French prisoner of war Roger Masse, born in 1884.  The above-mentioned Jew was deported to the East - Auschwitz - on June 5, 1942.  For reasons of principle, I cannot agree to having him shipped back.  per proc. Eichmann."

Eichmann: That's a normal routine communication, drafted by a clerk.

Less: But it shows that you personally . . .

Eichmann: Herr Hauptmann, it's a form letter.  A routine communication.  It's not a decision on my part.

Less: But it says "I": "For reasons of principle, I cannot agree . . ."

Eichmann: Yes, yes, of course.  That's a bureaucratic . . . always the same old story . . . obviously.  I was the bureau head.  It had to have my name on it.  This letter had no effect on the fate of the man concerned.

Less: Of course not, because he wasn't sent back.  Quite right.

From page 141. (All ellipses are in the original)

Quotes
I obeyed.  Regardless of what I was ordered to do, I would have obeyed.  Certainly, I would have obeyed.  I obeyed, I obeyed.  (Page 198)

I obeyed my orders without thinking, I just did as I was told.  That's where I found my - how shall I say? - my fulfillment.  It made no difference what the orders were, Herr Hauptmann.  (Page 157)

I have a lot on my conscience.  I know that, Herr Hauptmann.  But I had nothing to do with killing the Jews.  I never killed a Jew, but I never killed a non-Jew either - I've never killed anybody.  And I never ordered anybody to kill a Jew, or ordered anybody to kill a non-Jew.  No, never.  (Page 101)

Reading from a memo from Rudolf Höss, another high-ranking German war criminal, who had been captured in 1946 and tried and executed in Poland in 1947:
Less: I shall now read you a passage from Höss' memoirs: "Eichmann came to see me in Auschwitz and acquainted me with the plans for actions in the various countries.  First, Upper Silesia and the adjoining parts of the Government General were to be drawn upon.  Then, proceeding geographically, the Jews from Germany and Czechoslovakia, then those from the West - France, Belgium, and Holland.  We went on to discuss the extermination process.  It transpired that only gas could be considered, because to eliminate the masses that were to be expected by shooting was absolutely impossible and also too hard on the SS men involved, having to shoot women and children."

Eichmann: I will not shoulder the blame for things I didn't do, Herr Hauptmann.  All that stuff was made up by Höss; it has nothing whatever to do with me.

Less: Other people made similar statements, not just Höss, and there is no reason to suppose that their stories were made to order.  They had no means of getting together and saying: Now let's all of us save our skins by testifying against Eichmann.  Every one of those who testified knew what was in store for him.

The Martyrs Monument in Midway, located in Midway City Cemetery outside Midway, Kentucky, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 1997, as part of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky Multiple Property Submission.  It honors four Confederate prisoners who were killed due to the standing order of Union General over Kentucky Stephen G. Burbridge, known as Order No. 59, which declared: "Whenever an unarmed Union citizen is murdered, four guerrillas will be selected from the prison and publicly shot to death at the most convenient place near the scene of the outrages."  The Confederate prisoners, whose names were M. Jackson, J. Jackson, C. Rissinger, and N. Adams, were executed on November 5, 1864 northeast of Midway, the precise location of which is unknown.  This was due to the actions of Sue Mundy, a former trooper under John Hunt Morgan who terrorized Union forces in Kentucky during the later years of the American Civil War.  They were buried in shallow graves originally, then re-buried in a Presbyterian cemetery, and finally in 1890 moved to their current location, with the dedication of the Martyrs Monument.

History
Sue Mundy is said to have twice struck Midway in a span of two weeks, although some scholars believe that it may have just been men under Mundy, and not Mundy himself who participated (the very existence of Sue Mundy is in dispute).  On October 22, 1864, six expensive thoroughbred horses were stolen, including one that was unbeaten in competition, named Asteroid.  After a ransom was paid, Asteroid was returned to his owner, R.A. Alexander, ten days later.  On November 1, 1864, on another raid to obtain horses for Confederate guerrillas, a shootout occurred, and Adam Harper Jr. was killed on his property.  General Burbridge ordered four Confederates imprisoned in nearby Lexington shipped to Midway.  On November 5, Burbridge had a firing squad of forty execute the Confederates in what was then the town of Midway's "commons", forcing local men to watch the event.  The fallen prisoners were then buried in a shallow trench, but on the next day were reburied at the former Presbyterian Church gravesite, where they remained until the establishment of the monument in 1890.

There were two other events during the American Civil War at Midway.  The first occurred on July 15, 1862, when John Hunt Morgan had his telegrapher George Ellsworth, aka "Lightning" Ellsworth, send a false telegraph message that Morgan was not in Midway, but instead was going to attack Frankfort, and then threaten Louisville, with a force more than twice what Morgan actually had at his command.  The other was on February 2, 1865, when a few of Quantrill's Raiders burned the depot, robbed Midway citizens, and stole fifteen horses.

Monument
The monument is a  obelisk made of granite.  Other monuments to victims of Burbridge's Order No. 59, four in total, are the Confederate Soldiers Martyrs Monument in Eminence, the Confederate Martyrs Monument in Jeffersontown, and the Thompson and Powell Martyrs Monument.

Ayub Kheyl () (Ab Khail) is a small village 11 km (7 miles) outside Khost, Afghanistan. It was the site on July 27, 2002, of a firefight by US soldiers, assisted by Afghan militia, against militants in the village. After the fight, the Americans captured the wounded 15-year-old Omar Khadr, who they learned was a Canadian citizen. He was among the youngest persons detained at Guantanamo Bay detention camp and the last Western citizen held there.

The village was known among the Afghanis for its Pashtun residents, who were conservative and considered closely tied to the Taliban.

The 39th Division was an infantry division of the British Army, raised during the First World War. The division was part of Kitchener's New Armies and saw service on the Western Front and in Italy from 1916 onwards.

History
The division was formed as part of the fifth wave (K5) of divisions in the New Army; it did not have a regional title, but was composed primarily of recruits from the Midlands, London, and the south of England. Several of its battalions had been raised by local communities, and were named for their towns or industries. After training and home service, it deployed to the Western Front in early 1916, and fought in the Battle of the Somme. The following year, it saw action at the Third Battle of Ypres, and in 1918 took heavy losses in the German Army's Spring Offensive. The General Officer Commanding, Major-General Edward Feetham, was killed in the action in March 1918.

Following near-destruction at the Battle of the Lys, the division was reduced to a cadre, which spent the remainder of the war training newly arrived units of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). The division demobilised after the Armistice with Germany, and had ceased to exist by July 1919.

Patrick Ebert (born 17 March 1987) is a German professional footballer who plays as a right winger.

Club career

Hertha
Born in Potsdam, East Germany, Ebert started playing football for TuS Gaarden in Kiel at the age of four. He completed his development with Hertha BSC, joining the Berlin-based club in 1998.

Ebert made his official debut with the first team on 16 July 2006, coming on as an 81st-minute substitute in a 0–0 home draw against FC Moscow in that year's UEFA Intertoto Cup. He first appeared in the Bundesliga on 13 August, again coming from the bench in the 0–0 draw at VfL Wolfsburg, and scored his first goal in the competition the following matchday when he opened a 4–0 home rout of Hannover 96.

Ebert contributed 16 games and one goal in the 2009–10 season, as the Blue-Whites were ultimately relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. On 6 June 2012, he was released along with Christian Lell, Andre Mijatović and Andreas Ottl.

Valladolid
Ebert signed with Spain's Real Valladolid on 27 July 2012. He made his first La Liga appearance on 20 August, playing 86 minutes in a 1–0 away win over Real Zaragoza.

Ebert netted six times in his first year with the Castile and León side– including twice in the 3–1 home victory against Mallorca– being first choice in a final escape from relegation.

Spartak Moscow
On 7 February 2014, Ebert was released from his contract with Valladolid, after having already announced the decision to wanting to leave the club and having subjected to disciplinary procedures after refusing to play against Villarreal. Later that day, he signed with Spartak Moscow of the Russian Premier League.

Rayo Vallecano
Ebert returned to Spain on 25 July 2015, joining Rayo Vallecano on a two-year contract. He missed the vast majority of his debut season due to an achilles tendon rupture.

Later years
The following two and a half seasons, Ebert competed in the German second division with FC Ingolstadt 04 and Dynamo Dresden. In October 2020, the 33-year-old free agent signed a one-year deal with Xanthi of the Super League Greece 2.

Ebert joined İstanbulspor on 26 July 2022, from Kavala also in the Greek second tier.

The Scottish Islands Federation, founded in November 2007, claims that it aims to promote, publicise and advance the interests of Scotland's islands. It grew out of the informal Scottish Islands Network, which had existed since 2001.

The inaugural conference was held at Craignure on the Isle of Mull. A survey of islanders found that nearly 90% believe that all of Scotland's 90 or more inhabited islands should be able to speak with a common voice and that 77% believe that the Scottish Government should include a minister with specific responsibility for the islands. There was also overwhelming support for a forthcoming pilot scheme to introduce road equivalent tariff that could reduce ferry fares. It was also noted that Scotland's islands have a combined population of nearly 100,000 but have no special government provision, whereas the 3,000 Irish islanders do.

Willie Roe, the Chairman of Highlands and Islands Enterprise speaking at the conference said that here was a new feeling of self-belief among islanders, encouraged by community-based developments on, for example, Gigha, Eigg and Harris and that "our islands are quite exceptional in world terms". Jim Mather, the Scottish Minister for Enterprise, Energy and Tourism stated that "I think it is a self-evident truth that Scotland hasn't properly valued her islands… but we are seeing a quiet revolution".

Retention and protention () are key aspects of Edmund Husserl's phenomenology of temporality.

Overview
Our experience of the world is not of a series of unconnected moments. Indeed, it would be impossible to have an experience of the world if we did not have a sense of temporality. That our perception brings an impression to our minds depends upon retention and protention.

Retention is the process whereby a phase of a perceptual act is retained in our consciousness. It is a presentation of that which is no longer before us and is distinct from immediate experience. A simple example might be that of watching a ball being thrown. We retain where the ball was in our minds to understand the momentum of the ball as we perceive it in the immediate present. Retention is not a representation or memory but a presentation of a temporally extended present. That is, a present that extends beyond the few short milliseconds that are registered in a moment of sense perception.

Protention (and not "protection" as written in the French translation) is our anticipation of the next moment. The moment that has yet to be perceived. Again, using the example of a ball, our focus shifts along the expected path the ball will take.

According to Husserl, perception has three temporal aspects, retention, the immediate present, and protention and a flow through which each moment of protention becomes the retention of the next.

Maurice Merleau-Ponty describes the temporal phenomenology of perception in the Phenomenology of Perception as follows:

"Husserl uses the terms protentions and retentions for the intentionalities which anchor me to an environment. They do not run from a central I, but from my perceptual field itself, so to speak, which draws along in its wake its own horizon of retentions, and bites into the future with its protentions. I do not pass through a series of instances of now, the images of which I preserve and which, placed end to end, make a line. With the arrival of every moment, its predecessor undergoes a change: I still have it in hand and it is still there, but already it is sinking away below the level of presents; in order to retain it, I need to reach through a thin layer of time. It is still the preceding moment, and I have the power to rejoin it as it was just now; I am not cut off from it, but still it would not belong to the past unless something had altered, unless it were beginning to outline itself against, or project itself upon, my present, whereas a moment ago it was my present. When a third moment arrives, the second undergoes a new modification; from being a retention it becomes the retention of a retention, and the layer of time between it and me thickens."

Interesting links with this theory come from current neuroscience which shows that present, past and future are always intertwined, also in memory. Accordingly, “memory is not only about the past, but is also about the future. Indeed, while memory serves as the ability to recall previous experiences, recall itself is not solely directed toward the past, but is guided by the present for the service of the future”.

Mill Race Park is a city-owned park located in Columbus, Indiana (Bartholomew County), where the Flat Rock and the Driftwood rivers join (forming the east fork of the White River) in downtown Columbus.

History
Historically, Mill Race Park was an impoverished area of Columbus. During the 1930s through the early 1960s the area was plagued by rodents, disease and sub-standard housing. Located in a flood plain the homes were prone to flooding, creating an inhospitable place to live; the area became known as "Death Valley". In 1963, the park site was purchased by the city and cleaned up, transforming it into the first iteration of Mill Race Park (originally called Tipton Park).

In November 1974, a rash of sightings of an unknown monstrous creature similar to Bigfoot occurred in Mill Race Park, where it attacked cars and frightened many people, causing many preople to visit the park in hopes of catching it or a glimpse leading police (who otherwise considered the monster to be a hoax) to shut the park down. The monster was featured in an episode of Monsters and Mysteries in America, where witness Tyra Cataline came forward on it.

In the late 1980s a redesign and update was awarded to Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, resulting in the completion of the current design of Mill Race Park in 1993.

Features
Mill Race park is composed of  including a playground and an  observation tower. The land is subject to severe annual flooding, during which sixty percent of the park is under water. The site features a loop road around the perimeter of the park, path systems, and two small lakes connected by a wooden bridge.

Key design features include a circular lake to contrast the soft natural curves of the surrounding river. The circular lake is defined by a masonry walk at its perimeter and surrounded by flowering trees. An earthen amphitheater, inspired by Native American earthworks found in the Ohio River Valley, is located at the end of a broad field, and forms a crest of land that remains above the water during floods. The covered bridge harkens back to the local history of numerous covered bridges found across the landscape.

The park also offers fishing, basketball courts, and the People Trail. An interpretive boardwalk that ties the existing park wetland to a path system that continues into the surrounding community. Access to the park is provided by a loop road and the introduction of a river walk.
Additionally the park is home to numerous events, festivities, and programs throughout the year.

William Anthony Hails or Hailes (1766-1845) was an English miscellaneous writer.

Life
The son of a shipwright, he was born at Newcastle upon Tyne on 24 May 1766. An accident in his childhood prevented him from attending school until his eleventh year. He learnt the alphabet from an old church prayer-book, and his father taught him writing and arithmetic. He remained at school only three years, after which he worked as a shipwright for sixteen years.

He acquired a good knowledge of Latin and Greek, and also studied Hebrew, together with some other oriental languages. He wrote several papers for the Classical Journal and contributed to the Gentleman's Magazine and Monthly Magazine. Hails ultimately became a schoolmaster at Newcastle, but had only moderate success. He was a Wesleyan Methodist, and preached occasionally in the chapel of his sect at Newcastle. He died at Newcastle on 30 August 1845.

Utricularia nelumbifolia is a large perennial aquatic carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia. U. nelumbifolia is endemic to Brazil. It was originally published and described by George Gardner in 1842. Its habitat is reported as being restricted to the water-filled leaf axils of Vriesea species, which are bromeliads, in arid volcanic locations at altitudes from  to . U. nelumbifolia will produce aerial stolons that descend into nearby leaf axils in order to colonize new territory, similar to the habit of U. humboldtii. It typically flowers from May to August.

James Madison Nabrit Jr. (September 7, 1900 – December 27, 1997) was a prominent American civil rights attorney who won several important arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, served as president of Howard University for much of the 1960s, and was appointed Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations by President Lyndon B. Johnson. His brother, Samuel M. Nabrit, was appointed to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. His son, James Nabrit III, was also a civil rights attorney.

Early life and career
James Nabrit Jr. was born in Georgia on September 7, 1900, to James Nabrit Sr., a Baptist minister and baker, and Gertrude Augusta West. Reverend James M. Nabrit Sr., a son of former slaves, taught at Central City College, became President of the American Baptist Institute in Nashville, and Secretary of the National Baptist Convention. Himself a learned college graduate, who taught some of his children Latin, Greek and physics, James M. Nabrit Sr. was the father of eight college graduates, and seven who earned advanced degrees.  Nabrit Jr. graduated from Morehouse College in 1923 and from Northwestern University Law School in 1927.

Nabrit Jr. married Norma Walton in 1924—they would remain married until her death in 1988—and taught at colleges in Louisiana and Arkansas from 1927 to 1930. From 1930 to 1936 he practiced law in Houston, Texas. Nabrit began teaching law at Howard University in 1936 and served as dean of Howard's law school from 1958 to 1960 and president of the university from 1960 to 1969. In 1938 he started the first formal civil rights law course in the United States.

Civil rights cases
Beginning in the 1940s and through the 1950s, Nabrit handled a number of civil rights cases for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, working with prominent attorneys such as Thurgood Marshall, later a Supreme Court justice. Notably, Nabrit argued Bolling v. Sharpe, a companion case of Brown v. Board of Education.

President of Howard and later life
Nabrit served as president of Howard University from 1960 to 1965. From 1965 to 1967 he served as Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations—the first African American hold this position. He returned to the presidency of Howard from 1968 to 1969, stepping down under pressure from the American Association of University Professors after he expelled 18 disruptive students. Nabrit said that he had simply been waiting for the university to choose a successor. He died in Washington, D.C., on December 27, 1997, at the age of 97. He was survived by his only son, James Nabrit III.

The Sandgate branch was a three mile long railway branch line that ran from Sandling railway station in Kent on the South Eastern Main Line to Hythe and Sandgate railway stations. It opened in 1874 and closed completely in 1951.

History

Opening
The line opened in 1874, and for the first few years trains ran to and from Westenhanger railway station on the main line, then in 1888 Sandling Junction opened with four platforms, two for the main line and two for the branch.

Traffic
Usage was always light, possibly because of the distance of the two stations from the populations they served. The Folkestone, Hythe and Sandgate Tramways was built to try improve connections.

Proposed extension
The line was planned to provide a new route to the continent with a proposed extension through to Folkestone Harbour. Although parliamentary consent for the extension was granted in 1876 it was never built.

Closure
In 1931 Sandgate station was closed and the remaining line between Sandling and Hythe singled. The line was closed briefly in 1943 to reopen in 1945 with two trains a day each way. The last train ran between Hythe and Sandling on 3 December 1951 and Sandling Junction was renamed Sandling for Hythe.

The route today
As at 2012 the route from Sandling to Hayne Tunnel is now a public footpath (Elham Valley Way). Hayne Tunnel is still in situ but the tunnel is now flooded up to several feet deep because part of its cutting to the south of the tunnel has been partially in filled with refuse. At the site of Hythe Station and around Seabrook there are many houses built onto the old railway embankment.  Between Hythe and Sandgate short sections of infrastructure were still visible (in 2012) including some bridges still in situ.

Nolan Derek Smith (born July 25, 1988) is an American former professional basketball player who is currently an assistant men's basketball coach for the Louisville Cardinals. He played college basketball for Duke before being drafted 21st overall by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2011 NBA draft. As a junior, he started at shooting guard for Duke's national champion 2010 team. As a senior, he was named a consensus first-team All-American and the ACC Player of the Year.

Early life
As a child, Smith frequently attended Washington Bullets practices after his father, then-former NBA player, Derek Smith, took their assistant coach position in 1994. Following the shocking death of his father in 1996, the Bullets made him a frequent guest at their home games.

High school career
As an eighth grader, Smith played varsity basketball for The Key School in Annapolis, Maryland before moving to St. John's College High School in Washington, D.C. for his freshman season in 2003–04. At St. John's, he was a third-team all-conference pick while averaging 10.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

As a sophomore in 2004–05, Smith attended Riverdale Baptist School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. There, he averaged 16 points, six rebounds, eight assists and three steals per game as he led Riverdale to a 33–1 record and subsequently earned third-team All-Metro honors.

For his junior and senior years, Smith attended Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia where he was a two-year captain and played alongside several future NBA players, including Michael Beasley, Ty Lawson and Brandon Jennings. In 2005–06, he averaged 17 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals per game as he helped Oak Hill to a 40–1 overall record and a final USA Today No. 2 national ranking. He subsequently earned EA Sports second-team All-America honors.

On November 13, 2006, Smith signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball for Duke University.

As a senior in 2006–07, Smith averaged 22.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.2 steals per game as he led his team to a 40–1 record, tying the school's single season wins record and helping Oak Hill earn the top spot in the final USA Today 2007 Super 25 national rankings. He earned first-team EA Sports and Parade All-American honors and was named to the Les Schwab Invitational all-tournament team after leading Oak Hill to the championship. He also earned McDonald's All-American honors.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Smith was listed as the No. 8 shooting guard and the No. 39 player in the nation in 2007.

College career

Freshman year
As a freshman at Duke in 2007–08, Smith played in all 34 games, with one starting assignment as he averaged 5.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 14.7 minutes per game. He earned his first collegiate start against Cornell on January 6, 2008, and scored nine points on 4-of-6 shooting, while overall, he scored in double figures six times, including a season-high 21 points against Wake Forest on February 17.

Sophomore year
As a sophomore in 2008–09, Smith played in 34 games, with 21 starting assignments as he averaged 8.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. He finished the season ranked fourth on the team in double-figure scoring games with 17. He scored a season-high 16 points, along with five rebounds and four assists, against Michigan on November 21, 2008.

Junior year
As a junior in 2009–10, Smith started 38 games after sitting out the first two games of the season, serving a suspension for playing in a non-sanctioned summer league game. He averaged 17.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He led the Blue Devils in field goals made; finished second in assists, steals and three-point field goal percentage; and third on the team in scoring, three-point field goals, free throws made, free throw percentage and minutes. He subsequently earned second-team All-ACC honors, and claimed USBWA All-District III and NABC Second Team All-District 2 honors.

March 28, 2010, Smith scored a then career-high 29 points on 9-of-17 from the field in an Elite Eight game, as Duke defeated Baylor and advanced to the Final Four. In that game, Smith (628 points), Jon Scheyer (690 points) and Kyle Singler (667 points) became the second trio in Duke history to each score at least 600 points in a season; in 2001–02, Jay Williams, Carlos Boozer and Mike Dunleavy, Jr. first accomplished that feat for Duke.

Smith went on to earn NCAA All-Final Four team as he led Duke to an NCAA championship victory. He averaged 16 points and five assists per game in wins over West Virginia and Butler.

Senior year

As a senior in 2010–11, Smith started 37 games as he averaged 20.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He was named the 12th ACC Player of the Year in school history after becoming the 11th Duke player to lead the league in scoring. He earned first-team All-ACC and ACC All-Defensive team honors, and NABC and USBWA first-team All-District honors after leading Duke to a 32–5 record and a third consecutive ACC championship. He was also a finalist for the Naismith Trophy, Wooden Award, Oscar Robertson Trophy and Bob Cousy Award.

On February 9, 2011, Smith scored a career high 34 points in a home win over No. 20 North Carolina, making a career-high 13 field goal attempts.

Smith was the team captain in 2010–11, along with fellow senior Kyle Singler. He was well respected amongst his peers as teammates gravitated towards him in the locker room because of his passion for the game, and his ability to remain energetic and loose in high-pressure situations. He became just the ninth player under Mike Krzyzewski to average over 20.0 points per game, and with his 764 total points in 2010–11, he recorded the ninth highest single season total and is just the 19th time a Duke player has scored 700 or more.

Amadeo Roger "Mike" Bucchianeri (January 9, 1917 – February 19, 1992) was an American football guard in the National Football League (NFL) or the Green Bay Packers.  He played college football at Indiana University.

Mike Bucchianeri began his football career at Monongahela High School where he graduated in 1937. Born January 9, 1917, the son of a coalminer, he went on to college at Indiana University playing football four years as an interior lineman as well as earning a Bachelor of Education degree in 1941. It was Mike Bucchianeri who kicked the decisive two extra points in the North's 14–12 victory over the South in the 1940 Blue-Gray Game. For this achievement, he was named Most Valuable Player. He was an All-American and played in the 1941 Chicago Tribune All-Star Game.

Drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1941, Mike suffered a serious head injury near the end of the season and spent two years with the Packers' affiliate team in Wilmington, Delaware to hone his kicking skills and serve as an assistant line coach.

Mike returned to Green Bay and helped the Packers win their sixth world championship over the New York Giants in 1944 and retired in 1945. Following his playing career, Bucchianeri became a line coach at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin and a high school referee. In 1955, he became the offensive line coach at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

While playing as a rookie for the Green Bay Packers, Mike was employed by the Green Bay Drop Forge Company, moving from the shop to automotive sales in Detroit, Michigan. He returned to Green Bay as Farm Implement Sales Manager.  Mike retired in 1983 and moved to Ocala, Florida.

Mike was inducted into the Mid-Mon Valley All Sports Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Ringgold Rams Hall of Fame in 2010.
