The VfB Homberg  is a German association football club from the Homberg quarter of Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia. The club was formed July 1969 through the merger of Homberger Spielverein and Sportvereinigung 89/19 Hochheide.

History

Homberger SV
Homberger traces its roots back to 7 June 1903's establishment of Fussballverein Teutonia Homberg, which joined Moerser Spielverein on 3 February 1910 to form Grafschafter Spielverein Moers. The following year SV was established as a separate side out of this association. In 1919, the club grew through a merger with Sport Club Preussen 1908 Homberg and the subsequent addition of the football department of SC Union Homberg.

Homberg made an appearance in the 1930 final playoff round of the Westdeutschland Fussball Verband, one of seven regional leagues sending representatives to the national playoffs. Three years later German football was restructured under the Third Reich into sixteen top flight Gauligen. The team did not initially qualify to play at that level, but won promotion to the Gauliga Niederrhein for single season appearances in 1934 and 1943.

SV played in the Amateurliga Niederrhein (III) in the late 1940s and captured divisional titles in 1953, 1955, 1963, and 1964. They advanced to the final of the national amateur championship in 1953 where they lost 3–2 to SV Bergisch-Gladbach.

SpVgg 89/19 Hochheide
The Hochheider side was established in 1919 as Sportverein Hochheide and was in 1922, joined in its turn, by the football department of SC Union Homberg. In 1923 the association played as Sportvereinigiung 19 Homberg-Hochheide until later simply going as SpVgg 19 Hochheide.

In the aftermath of World War II, SpVgg joined Turnverein 1889 Hochheide to form SG Hochheide which later adopted the more traditional name SpVgg 89/19 Hochheide. This club also played in the Amateurliga Neiderrhein (III) beginning in the late 1940s and fielded strong sides through the early 1950s before being relegated to Landesliga play in 1963.

The united club
Following the 1969 merger that formed VfB, the united club carried on in the Amateurliga Niederrhein. Despite being relegated in 1974, the team earned an appearance in the opening round of the 1975 DFB Pokal (German Cup) on the strength of a regional cup win and were put out 3–1 by DJK Gütersloh.

VfB won promotion to the Oberliga Nordrhein (IV) for a two-year stint in 1990. They re-appeared in the fourth tier in 2005 and played in the tier-five Oberliga Niederrhein until 2015, when they were relegated. A league championship in the Landesliga in 2015–16 took the club back up to the Oberliga, which they won in 2019 to gain promotion to the Regionalliga West.

Ch'ien Mu or Qian Mu (; 30 July 1895 – 30 August 1990) was a Chinese historian, philosopher and writer. He is considered to be one of the greatest historians and philosophers of 20th-century China. Ch'ien, together with Lü Simian,  Chen Yinke and Chen Yuan, was known as the "Four Greatest Historians" of Modern China (現代四大史學家).

Life

Early life: Jiangsu, Beijing
Ch'ien Mu was from the prestigious Qian (Ch'ien) family in Wuxi. His ancestor was said to be Qian Liu (852–932), founder of the Wuyue Kingdom (907–978) during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He was born in Qifang Qiao Village (七房橋; "Seven Mansions Bridge Village"), in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. His biographer Jerry Dennerlien described his childhood world as the "small peasant cosmos" of rituals, festivals, and beliefs held the family system together. He received little formal education, but gained his knowledge on Chinese history and culture through traditional family school education and continuous self-study.

He started his teaching career as a primary school teacher in his hometown when he was eighteen.

Recommended and invited by another famous historian Gu Jiegang, Ch'ien Mu was hired as a lecturer in Yenching University in 1930. He began his teaching career at several other universities like Tsinghua University and Peking University until 1937, when Peking was occupied by the Japanese army.

Hong Kong
Amidst communist victory in the civil war, Ch'ien arrived in Hong Kong at Chang Chi-yun's suggestion in 1949. With help from the Yale-China Association, along with Tang Chun-i, Tchang Pi-kai and other scholars, he cofounded New Asia College.  He served as the president of New Asia College from 1949 until 1965. This college has graduated many great scholars and outstanding members of various communities. After New Asia College became a member college of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and moved to Ma Liu Shui, Sha Tin, he resigned. Publicly he said that he wanted to devote more time to his scholarship, but in private he revealed that he felt that the college lost its freedom and might eventually disappear.   He then founded New Asia Middle School as a non-profit-making Chinese secondary school at the former campus of the college. He later received honorary doctorates from both Yale University and the University of Hong Kong.

He taught at the University of Malaya before returning to Hong Kong.

Taiwan

Ch'ien relocated to Taiwan in October 1967 after accepting an invitation from the President Chiang Kai-shek in response to the Hong Kong 1967 leftist riots.  In 1968, he was selected as a member of the Academia Sinica, which remedied a little his lifelong regret for not being able to be elected as a member of this Institute in the first election in 1948.

He was given land in Waishuangxi in the Shilin District to build his home Sushulou (素書樓) while continuing as a freelance academic researching and giving lectures at universities in Taiwan.

Ch'ien retired from teaching in 1984. After becoming one of the three constituent colleges of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, in 1978 New Asia College inaugurated the Ch'ien Mu Lectures in his honor.

On June 1, 1990, two Democratic Progressive Party politicians, Chen Shui-bian and Chou Po-lun, accused Ch'ien of occupying public land as the nature of gifting the land for Sushulou by Chiang Kai-shek to a private citizen was deemed to be illegal. Ch'ien and his wife moved out of Sushulou and relocated to a high-rise apartment in downtown Taipei City.

Ch'ien died on August 30, 1990, a little less than three months after being forced to move out of Sushulou.  Many of Ch'ien's supporters condemned the practice Chen and Chou of using Ch'ien for scoring political points against the Kuomintang.  Both Chen and Chou have since apologized for the damages of their accusations towards Ch'ien, and Sushulou is now the location of the Ch'ien Mu Memorial.

Works
Ch'ien wrote extensively on Chinese classics, history and Confucian thought. Unlike many 20th-century Chinese intellectuals influenced by the New Culture Movement of the 1910s who were fundamentally skeptical of traditional Chinese thought and Confucianism, he insisted on the importance of traditional values of Chinese culture. By the time of his death in 1990, his objections to the rejection of tradition of Confucianism had gained wider credence, partly through the influence of his student at New Asia College, Yu Ying-shih.

Ch'ien Mu was an extremely industrious and prolific scholar who had about 76 works published during his life, which exceeded 17 000 000 words in total. After his death, his complete works were collected and edited into 54 volumes, published in 1994 by Linking Publishing Company in Taipei. In 2011, a revised edition of his complete works was published in Beijing by Jiuzhou Publishing Company in traditional Chinese characters.

Representative works:
 A General History of China (Guoshi dagang 國史大綱);
 Comments on the chin wen/ku wen (New Text/Old Text) Controversy in Han (Lianghan jingxue jin gu wen pingyi 兩漢經學今古文評議)
 A New Biography of Zhu Xi's Academic Life (Zhuzi xin xue'an 朱子新學案)
 A Scholastic History of China in Late 300 Years (Zhongguo jin sanbai nian xueshu shi 中國近三百年學術史)
 History of the Qin and Han Dynasty (Qin Han shi 秦漢史)
 Neo-Confucianism during Song and Ming Dynasty (Song Ming Lixue 宋明理學)
 Examining Chinese People and Culture Through Chinese History (Cong Zhongguo lishi lai kan Zhongguo minzu xing ji Zhongguo wenhua 從中國歷史來看中國民族性及中國文化)

Criticism

Critics of Ch'ien's ideas, such as Li Ao, tend to focus on his superficial knowledge of non-Chinese currents of thoughts when he wrote his treatises on cultural studies, and his lack of objective, scientific method-based, defense of traditional Chinese culture.  condemns Ch'ien's own bias as "19th century traditionalist" in his "A Comment on Ch'ien Mu's Treatise on Chinese Scholarships During the Qing Dynasty" (錢穆論清學史述評) for being unable to view 19th century currents of thoughts with contemporary (20th century) perspectives.  It could be argued, however, the opposition is based upon the critics' support of the New Culture Movement's legacies, which Ch'ien explicitly rejected.

Another recurring theme from Ch'ien's critics, from the 1930s onwards, concerns his defense of traditional Chinese political system, headed by a monarch but with the government filled by examinations-based mandarins, as a representative form of government, as a simplistic fantasy.

Ch'ien Mu was also criticized for having invested in too many different academic fields. For example, his research on Chinese Literature was considered as "unprofessional". His work on Daoism and Zhuangzi : Zhuangzi Zuan Jian 莊子纂箋 had also drawn him criticisms for long.

The Narrhallamarsch is a traditional German carnival tune, a staple of the Mainz carnival (Meenzer Fassenacht) since 1844. It is popularly used by the main football club in the city, Mainz 05.

Usage
The "Narrhallamarsch" is usually played to accompany a speaker's entry and exit from the stage when they give their humorous/satirical speech. The name is a portmanteau of the German word 'Narr' (jester) and Valhalla.

History
In 1838, the people of Mainz founded the Mainzer Carneval-Verein ("Carnival Club of Mainz") and were searching for a lead melody for the local carnival. One of the founding members was the bandmaster Carl Zulehner, who, inspired by the 1840 performance in Mainz of Adolphe Adam's opera Le brasseur de Preston (1838) (), used some of its musical motives to create the "Mainzer Narrhallamarsch". The new tune was presented at the opening of the campaign in 1844 and became the signature tune of the Meenzer Fassenacht.

Barthélemy Menn (20 May 1815 – 10 October 1893) was a Swiss painter and draughtsman who introduced the principles of plein-air painting and the paysage intime into Swiss art.

Early life
Menn was the youngest of four sons, born in Geneva to Louis John Menn, a confectioner from Scuol in the canton of Grisons, and Charlotte-Madeleine-Marguerite Bodmer, the daughter of a wealthy farmer from Coinsins in the Canton de Vaud. Already at the age of twelve, Menn took drawing lessons from the little-known Jean Duboi (1789–1849), and later, he entered the drawing school of the . The repeated claim that he was also a pupil of the famous enameller Abraham Constantin appears to be erroneous.

In 1831, Menn was second in the annual drawing competition of the Geneva Art Society. The following year, he entered the studio of the Swiss history painter Jean-Léonard Lugardon, who was a pupil of Baron Gros and became acquainted with Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. There, Menn was educated in figure drawing and composition before heading for Paris, where, in fall 1833, he entered the studio of Ingres. He was, therefore, no beginner when meeting the master, but needed some polishing and refinement in his art. In a letter to his friend Jules Hébert, Menn reported on the new situation: "Everybody, even the eldest in the studio tremble before Mr. Ingres. One fears him a lot in such a way that his corrections have a great impact. He is of an extreme sensibility."  while the education in Ingres’ studio has been described by Théophile Silvestre, as follows: "The students spend half of their time studying nature and half studying the masters among which they are especially attached to Phidias, the bas-reliefs of the Parthenon, classical sculpture in general." This explains why among Menn's early works there are many copies of the Parthenon frieze that had been accessible in Paris as a set of plaster casts at the École des Beaux-Arts since 1816. Menn also copied several works by Raffael, Titian,  Veronese and Rubens in the Louvre, and works by Ingres.

When the latter decided to give up his studio to take the post as director of the French Academy in the Villa Medici in Rome, Menn returned to his grandparents in Coinsins before following his master in fall 1834. His journey led him first via Milan to Venice, where he met briefly with his compatriot Louis Léopold Robert, and copied works by Titian and Tintoretto. He then travelled via Padua and Bologna to Florence, where he met old classmates from Ingres’ studio, and arrived finally in Rome in spring 1835. There, Menn copied works by Raphael and Michelangelo, but he also started to produce extraordinary fresh small landscape paintings in the open air. In summer 1836, he visited the Campagna, Capri and Naples, where too he drew and painted landscapes directly from nature, and copied classical antiquities from Pompeii as well as Giovanni Bellini's Transfiguration in the Museo Borbonico.

When back in Rome, he produced history - and genre paintings, of which in 1837, he sent 'Solomon presented to Wisdom by his Parents' (Salomon présenté à la sagesse par son père et sa mère) to the annual Salon in Geneva. Menn returned via Florence, Siena and Viterbo to Paris in late 1838, where he exhibited at the Salon from 1839 to 1843, and where he became the drawing master of Maurice Dudevant, the son of George Sand. In her circle, he became acquainted with Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) who wanted to employ him as an assistant while working on the decoration of the cupola of the library in the Palais du Luxembourg. At the same time, Menn got to know the painters of the Barbizon School; especially Charles Daubigny. Most importantly, however, Menn became friends with Camille Corot, who, from 1842 onwards, visited Switzerland frequently. It was also in Paris that he became acquainted with members of the Bovy family of Geneva who were followers of the utopian socialist ideas of Charles Fourier.

Later career
Due to lack of commissions, Menn returned to Geneva, where, in 1844, he applied in vain for a teaching position at the local art school. In the following year, he exhibited a large alpine landscape, "Wetterhorn from Hasliberg", which caused a minor scandal as it did not meet the public's and critics’ expectations of smooth, highly finished, heroic alpine views. This incident did not help much in getting him a public job as professor of painting or drawing. Hence, he started to accept private pupils in his studio. In these years, Menn also experimented together with Jules Darier, another of Corot's friends in Geneva, in producing daguerreotypes, though none of them are known to have been preserved. He also travelled again extensively, this time along the Rhone Valley and to the South of France. It was in these years that he turned completely to the paysage intime (intimate landscape) and achieved similar results to those of Corot, without attaining the latter's impressive level of creativity. In 1850, Menn was appointed director of the Geneva art school and from then on taught figure drawing, rather than landscapes, for 42 years. In this position, he trained two generations of Swiss painters, among them Eugène Burnand, , Edouard Vallet and Ferdinand Hodler, who reputedly said: ‘It is to him [Menn] that I owe everything’.

Menn made a second voyage to Rome in 1852 and, in conjunction with Corot, Henri Baron (1816–1885),  (1818–1885) and François-Louis Français, decorated the large salon in Gruyères Castle that then belonged to the Bovy family. Menn also organized three exhibitions with contemporary French painting in Geneva in 1857, 1859 and 1861 that showed works by Corot, Courbet, Daubigny and Delacroix. Yet, the critics in Calvin's hometown were harsh and hostile towards contemporary art, which annoyed Menn so much as that he resolved never to exhibit in public again. He became even reluctant to sell his works privately and finally, in the 1880s, destroyed many of his paintings. In 1865, at the age of fifty, Menn married the widow of his cousin Jean Bodmer, Louise Bodmer-Gauthier (1818–1887), who brought with her a beautiful estate at Coinsins. It is here that Menn found peace and painted most of his last landscapes.

Legacy

Although Menn was trained as a history painter and had, during his last forty years, only taught figure drawing, it was he who challenged the Swiss academic landscape tradition as early as 1845. At that time, the internationally successful Alexandre Calame and the somewhat older François Diday dominated Swiss alpine painting with romantic, wild and fantastic mountain sceneries that have carefully composed foregrounds against which distant but highlighted mountain peaks are set under a pleasantly blue sky – or in a frightening storm. Menn, however, when exhibiting his Wetterhorn from Hasliberg at the annual art exhibition in Geneva, had not only ventured into the domain of his competitor Calame, but had done so by applying the principles of plein-air-painting to an alpine landscape. The ‘photographic’ view point, the structure of the rock formations and the handling of light and colour make this picture the earliest modern landscape in Swiss art history.

As the painting did not go down well with the critics, Menn turned to more modest landscapes that he painted outdoors, and with which he introduced the principles of the modern French paysage-intime into Switzerland. ‘In a bush I see everything’, Menn used to say, capturing in his self-contained landscapes atmospheric changes of evening and morning hours, quiet harmonies of an unspoilt riverbank, a swampy plain or of an orchard in midday, casting them in sensitive tonal values and poetic tenderness. His approach derived entirely from contemporary French landscape painting, in particular from his friend Corot whom Menn called the ‘master of the right values’.  It was these new values combined with his quest for natural beauty that Menn would promote as a teacher to generations of Swiss artists.

Barthélemy Menn is buried at the Cimetière des Rois in Geneva.

Mumford Cove is a private association in Southeastern Connecticut located adjacent to Groton Long Point, bordered by Noank Connecticut Haley's Farm nature preserve, Palmer's Cove, and Fisher's Island Sound. It is a part of the town of Groton, Connecticut. The neighborhood was first developed in the late 1960s, and former Connecticut Governor John Dempsey briefly lived there.

Mumford Cove experienced ecological crises in the 1970s, when raw sewage was routinely pumped into the waters of the cove and salt marshes of the area.  Since this practice was halted, the EPA has studied and assessed the health and safety of the waters off of Mumford Cove, which have now nearly returned to their natural levels.

The Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International, also known as AUVSI, is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the unmanned systems and robotics industry through communication, education, and leadership.

History

AUVSI was established in 1972 when the use of target drones as reconnaissance assets during the Vietnam War prompted a group of U.S. Air Force officers and contractors in Dayton, Ohio to form the National Association of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (NARPV), which would later become known as AUVSI. Founding fathers:

1) LT Col Harold F. (Red) Smith - Drone/ RPV SPO, ASD

2) Charles B (Barney) Bagwell - Lear Seigler

3) Robert T Boone - Teledyne Ryan

4) Milan Filcik - Northrop Corporation

5) William Mallios - Civil Service Employee, ASD

6) John E. Short- WPAFB Special Assistant to the Director Recce, Strike, E.W.

By the end of the war the potential for unmanned systems technology was evident and the momentum of industry growth was moving quickly. In 1974, the Wright Kettering Chapter in Ohio hosted the first national symposium, which was met with great success.

By the late 1970s, RPVs were being called Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs). The newly recognized term “unmanned” encompassed more than air vehicles, and recognition of the growing developments in the ground, maritime and space arenas caused the organization to broaden its reach. In 1978, the NARPV expanded its focus and services to create a community inclusive of all unmanned systems disciplines. At that time the organization changed its name to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems (AUVS). The organization continued to thrive, and in 1982 the headquarters moved from Dayton to Washington, DC.

Through the 1980s and 1990s, AUVS mirrored the fast pace of growth of the worldwide unmanned systems industry, and the need for the organization's services began to reach far beyond Washington, D.C. In 1996, the AUVS became the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) to reflect the true scope of the organization.

By 2003, AUVSI's global activities led to the creation of the International Opportunities Program (IOP), a campaign to raise awareness of AUVSI, increase member services and strengthen the worldwide network of the unmanned systems industry. The program was successful, and AUVSI's global activities are now a fundamental part of the association's operations. International outreach is no longer referred to as the IOP.

AUVSI continues to promote and support the unmanned systems and robotics community and now serves more than 7,000 members worldwide from government organizations, industry and academia.

Overview

AUVSI's mission is to promote and support the unmanned systems community through communication, education and leadership. The organization serves a membership of more than 7,000 people from 60 countries. Based in the U.S., the association has two regional affiliates, Unmanned Systems Canada and AUVS-Australia, and 26 International Member Groups (chapters).

AUVSI also sponsors a number of international conferences and student competitions each year. The association's annual conference and exhibition, AUVSI's Unmanned Systems North America, is the largest unmanned systems event in the world.

Activities
AUVSI is known as a forum for those involved with unmanned systems and robotics from business, government and academia. The association hosts meetings and provides a number of informational products and services.

AUVSI's Unmanned Systems North America AUVSI's Unmanned Systems North America is the only event in the world that brings together the entire unmanned systems and robotics community. The largest international event for the unmanned systems market, annual growth has led to record-breaking attendance and expanding exhibit halls to accommodate more than 500 exhibitors annually.

AUVSI's Unmanned Systems Program Review AUVSI's Unmanned Systems Program Review is an annual event that provides the most up-to-date overviews and information on government and industry programs for air, ground and maritime systems.

Online Forum AUVSI's Online Forum is a venue for the interactive exchange of unmanned systems information, ideas, discussions and issues of mutual interest to users.

AUVSI Foundation (Robo Nation) The AUVSI Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that was established to support the educational initiatives of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. The AUVSI Foundation focuses on the future of the robotics industry by developing programs that will attract and equip students for a career in this rapidly growing field.

Through a variety of efforts, the AUVSI Foundation provides students with the opportunity to experience fun, hands-on robotics activities that promote STEM education (science, technology, engineering and math).

At the K-12 level, the foundation introduces students to the wide range of robotics programs available to them, fueling their imaginations while enhancing their education.

As students' skill levels advance, the AUVSI Foundation hosts robotics competitions that challenge students to apply their engineering skills in the development of autonomous ground, air and maritime vehicles. To date, the AUVSI Foundation has awarded nearly $1 million in prize money to participating schools since the competitions began in 1991.

Student Competitions To attract more students to the field of robotics and with the belief that “hands-on” activities provide a much-needed opportunity to enhance traditional classroom teaching, in 1991, former-AUVSI President Prof. Robert C. Michelson, created the International Aerial Robotics Competition (IARC) while heading the organization's Technical Committee. This spawned the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition several years later as AUVSI Board member, Jerry Lane, a former IARC Judge, created a land version. Following suit, the Robo Sub and Robo Boat competitions were established under then Executive Director Daryl Davidson. The popularity of these university student events led to the more recent Student Unmanned Air Systems Competition, and the AUVSI-sponsored Australian UAV Outback Challenge, which cater to high school and college students. The missions and requirements for each competition vary, but the common thread in each is the requirement for autonomous operation.

 Today, the AUVSI Foundation directly sponsors six annual robotic competitions and supports other annual competitions around the world. These are International Aerial Robotics Competition (IARC), Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC), AUVSI Foundation and ONR's International Robo Sub Competition, AUVSI Foundation and ONR's International Robo Boat Competition, Student Unmanned Air Systems (SUAS) competition, and Maritime RobotX.

SeaPerch In September 2011, the AUVSI Foundation took over the management of SeaPerch, the Navy's signature K-12 Outreach program. An innovative underwater robotics program, SeaPerch teaches basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme. The move from Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers' (SNAME) to the AUVSI Foundation allows SeaPerch to be melded into the Foundation's other hands-on robotic programs, including the ONR-funded International RoboSub Competition. SNAME will continue to offer support for SeaPerch as part of its general program of education and outreach efforts.

RoboNation  The AUVSI Foundation was rebranded as "RoboNation" in 2017.

Publications

Unmanned Systems magazine was a full-color monthly periodical published by the AUVSI in Arlington, VA. Unmanned Systems highlighted current global developments and unveiled new technologies in air, ground, maritime, precision strike, and space unmanned systems, focusing on defense, civil and commercial markets worldwide.

Saint Cronan's Boys' National School () is a national school located in Vevay Crescent, just off the Vevay Road in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. It is the oldest primary school in Bray, having been founded in 1820 as Bray Male School. The school is named in honour of Saint Cronan, whose feast day falls on 28 April.

As of 2022, there are approximately 420 boys in the school, aged from 6 to 13 years (first through sixth classes).

History

In 1820, a small number of cottages on Seapoint Road in Bray are believed to have been the site of the first Bray Male Parochial School. It opened on 20 July 1820 and the boys stayed in these premises until 1880. Due to increasing pupil numbers, Bray Male School moved from its original home on Seapoint Road to the Little Flower Hall beside the Holy Redeemer Church off the Main Street in Bray in October 1880. Bray Male School moved again in 1931; this time, the school found a new home in a new building on the Vevay Hill. The school also changed its name at this stage to St Cronan's. On 2 November 1999, St. Cronan's moved to a new building in Vevay Crescent. After the most recent move to the new school building in Vevay Crescent, Gaelscoil Uí Chéadaigh, a Gaelscoil, took up residence in the schoolhouse on the Vevay Hill.

Curricular studies
As a national school, St. Cronan's follows the Primary School Curriculum (1999). The school has a Catholic ethos and prepares its students for the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Communion. The school was also part of the Modern Languages Initiative until 2012, and Spanish was taught in 5th and 6th classes.

Sports

St. Cronan's has both Gaelic football and hurling teams which compete against other schools in the Wicklow area. The school's Gaelic football team have been county champions on several occasions, and have also won the Coughlin Cup on several occasions. The school's team colours are blue, yellow, and white to match the school's uniform. Prior to the year 2000, the school's colours were red and white; this matched the colour of the previous school uniform.

The Golden Chariot is a luxury tourist train that connects the important tourist spots in the Indian states of Karnataka, Goa, Kerala & Tamil Nadu as well as Puducherry, depending on the selected itinerary. The train is operated by the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation and The Maple Group handles the hospitality services on the train.

It is named after the Stone Chariot in the Vitthala Temple at Hampi. The train has 19 coaches which  are coloured purple and gold, and reflect the logo of a mythological animal with the head of an elephant and a body of a lion. The Golden Chariot had its maiden commercial run on 10 March 2008, and generally runs weekly during the months of October–March, departing on Sundays during the 2022-23 season.  The train is designed on the lines of the more popular train Palace on Wheels.

History
When the success of Palace on Wheels reached the corridors of the Karnataka State Tourism and Development Corporation (KSTDC), it resulted in the signing of MOU between the state tourism board and the Indian Railways in 2002. Later the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) was assigned the task to give shape to this luxury train. Approximately 900 design layouts were prepared by the engineers before finalizing the design.

Architect Kusum Pendse worked with a team of 200 carpenters to complete the designs of these railway coaches and the process took around 4 months to complete.

On 23 January 2008, Golden Chariot was unveiled on the tracks veneered in classic colors of purple and gold symbolizing elegance and golden jubilee celebration of Karnataka. An inauguration ceremony was organized at the Yeshwanthpur Railway Station wherein the President of India Pratibha Devisingh Patil flagged off the train. On 10 March 2008, Golden Chariot started its maiden journey from Bengaluru to Goa.

In January 2020, The Golden Chariot was handed over by the Karnataka Tourism Department to the IRCTC for the purpose of operations and marketing.

The train was relaunched in November 2022 and has done one trip since then.

Facilities
The train offers accommodation in 44 cabins in 18 coaches that are named after dynasties that ruled the region: Kadamba, Hoysala, Rashtrakuta, Ganga, Chalukya, Bahamani, Adil Shahi, Sangama, Satavahana, Yadukula and Vijayanagar.

The facilities also includes two restaurants, a lounge bar, conference room, gym and spa. It has onboard internet connectivity via a USB-stick, and satellite antennae providing live television service in the cabins.

Destinations
The Golden Chariot offers 3 itineraries:  Jewels of South, and Pride of Karnataka, each lasting 6 nights & 7 days, and Glimpses of Karnataka, lasting 3 nights & 4 days. It also offers a Dasara festival tour in the month of October.

Bees in Paradise is a 1944 British musical comedy film directed by Val Guest and starring Arthur Askey, Anne Shelton and Peter Graves. It was produced by Edward Black at Gainsborough Pictures. Co-written by director Val Guest and comic Marriott Edgar, who wrote for Will Hay and the Crazy Gang and composed some of Stanley Holloway's famous monologues; this is a lesser known Askey vehicle.

Plot
The Queen of Paradise Island, an uncharted isle somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean (northwest of Freetown, Sierra Leone), is not happy. The town crier of the all-female hive-like colony (around two thousand strong) has just reported that there have only been two births within the last eighteen months and both of them were boys. As the Queen points out to Jani, her Minister of Propaganda: the only thing worse than boys is men. She demands more marriages, even going as far to think about passing conscription into law. However, Jani points out that the drones (which is how the inhabitants of this island refer to men) are not willing to marry because after a two-month honeymoon the bridegrooms are executed.

An Allied bomber plane gets into trouble. The four aircrew bail out and parachute down on Paradise Island. They are quickly captured by the native woman and Rouna, the colony's leading journalist, sets her eye on the diminutive Arthur Tucker, the mechanic.

Brought before the queen, the airmen try to ingratiate themselves. The queen explains that they are free to move around the island and if rescued they will be permitted to leave. However, she encourages them to stay and marry within the colony. She hints at the death sentence, but the airmen fail to pick up on the implication.

Escorted around the town by guards, Arthur confesses he might be in love with redheaded Jani. However, he has been betrothed to Rouana, who desperately flirts with him. He avoids her and continues to chase Jani, but to no avail. She is more interested in Peter, the pilot, who in turn has fallen in love with her. She tries to prevent his falling for her, as she knows it will result in his death.

Arthur and his friend Max sneak into the holy Temple of the Hive, where the island's law is written, and there they learn of the two-month honeymoon and subsequent death sentence. They also learn that the law states a betrothal occurs whenever a woman and a man share wine.

At the town's baths, Jani discovers that many of the islanders are disenchanted with how the men have been allocated. Jani tries to reassure everyone that no one is officially betrothed yet. Various ideas are thrown around, including communism. Jani decides to be noble and offers a solution (even if it means losing her chance of romance with Peter). The cup final of the island's rugby league takes place tomorrow; the winning team will draw lots and the lucky four who win will get the men.

The scheduled rugby match gets under way the next day, with Arthur refereeing. Arthur is knocked out during play and when he wakes in Rouana's home she tricks him into drinking wine with her. Panicked, Arthur flees.

With Peter and Jani's help, Arthur disguises himself as a maid in Jani's household. Arthur tries to convince Jani that he loves her, but she ignores him, and he is pounced on by Rouana again. Arthur makes a rooftop escape, but ends up falling through the roof of the queen's bedchamber. Arthur tries to explain to her that the island's laws are ridiculous, but the queen refuses to listen; however, she does not give him away when the palace guard rush in.

The next day, Rouana requests in court that the death sentence be waived for her and Arthur, as there is a precedent. Twenty years ago, one woman fell so in love with a man that the law was overturned. However, when Arthur is put on the witness stand, he admits he does not love Rouana. This results in his being condemned to death (by being forced to leap off the highest cliff).

By the morning of the execution, Ronnie, the aircrew's radio operator, has managed to repair the plane's radio. Rescue is on its way. Arthur is rescued by Ronnie and Max in drag, and they all escape to the beach, where Jani has arranged for a boat to be waiting for them.

Critical reception
David Parkinson wrote in the Radio Times, "there's a sauciness to the dialogue and lyrics that makes it rather risqué for its time"; and TV Guide called the film "a silly notion gone crazy...Not only that, but we get music, too, which is about as frothy as the premise"; while Mexcine noted it as "fun, well-produced, with (a) cast of polished performers and witty dialogue," and praised a "superb example" of "British cinema of the war era, (which) can serve as societal document of that period, while at the same time retaining (a) very high entertainment quotient."

PDM (Programming development manager) was installed on most AS/400 systems as a part of the Applications Development ToolSet (ADT) and is still installed on most IBM i systems today. PDM is an environment that lets programmers and/or operators navigate three levels of the PDM:

Other "work with" commands for the designated levels of PDM are as follows:
 WRKLIBPDM (Library level)
 WRKOBJPDM (Object level)
 WRKMBRPDM (Member level)

PDM allows users to use shortcuts to perform repeated tasks. Using a specified options file (via F16), one can tailor these shortcuts to meet their needs. These shortcuts are limited to two alpha numeric characters, and are entered in the input field immediately preceding the library, object, or member. These shortcuts can be repeated en masse for all entries displayed within the relevant PDM screen via F13. This reduces the time it takes to complete common tasks like assigning authority, changing object ownership and several other functions. PDM also recalls last input parameters on a user basis, making repetition and recall easy.

PDM will allow a user to copy or rename libraries, objects and members. In addition, objects may be moved. It will also allow users to edit source members using the SEU function, edit display files via SDA or printer files via RLU. Some other quick commands include saving, restoring, displaying descriptions, deleting, changing, working with, running, changing text, finding a string, creating a program or service program, running a debugger, and comparing.

PDM also has a filter tool (currently F17) which allows a user to narrow their search parameters and limit results by object, object type, attributes, a size range, or by complete or partial text.

Moisés da Costa Amaral (19 May 1938 – 22 February 1989) was an East Timorese  politician in the Timorese Democratic Union.

Born in 1938 in Fahinihan, East Timor.

Moisés da Costa Amaral was an East Timorese leader. Since 1975 until his death, he was the President of the political commission of the Timorese Democratic Union.

Moisés da Costa Amaral was married and had one child.

On March 31, 1986, Moisés da Costa Amaral, as the UDT leader signed the terms of the formation of the Nationalist Convergence with Fretilin, an important and necessary step in defense of the right to the self-determination of the people of East Timor.

On August 12, 1988, and after several years of diplomatic struggle, finally a Timorese delegation had the opportunity to defend the right to the self-determination of the Timorese people within the United Nations. Moisés da Costa Amaral made the statement representing the nationalist convergence, a delegation composed also by Monsignor Martinho Lopes, apostolic administrator of Dili, Roque Rodrigues representing Fretilin and João Carrascalão representing UDT. Within the United Nations this was the first big step that led to the so desired independence of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste.

The Canadian Stakes is a Grade II Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Run in mid September, it is a Grade II event open to fillies and mares, three years of age and older. It is raced on turf over a distance of "about"  miles.

Known as the Canadian Handicap until 2006, it was inaugurated at the now defunct Greenwood Raceway in 1955 as a  mile race on dirt and was open to horses of either sex, aged three and older. In 1964, the event was transferred to Woodbine Racetrack where in 1970 it became a race on the grass for fillies and mares only.

In 1996, the race was run on dirt and was split into two divisions in 1982 through 1985 and again in 1989.

Career Pathways is a workforce development strategy used in the United States to support workers’ transitions from education into and through the workforce.  This strategy has been adopted at the federal, state and local levels in order to increase education, training and learning opportunities for America’s current and emerging workforce.

Career pathways are an integrated collection of programs and services intended to develop students’ core academic, technical and employability skills; provide them with continuous education, training; and place them in high-demand, high-opportunity jobs.

A career pathways initiative consists of a partnership among community colleges, primary and secondary schools, workforce and economic development agencies, employers, labor groups, and social service providers, see The Evolution and Potential of Career Pathways  U.S. Department of Education, Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE), April 2015).

Community colleges coordinate occupational training, remediation, academic credentialing, and transfer preparation for career pathways initiatives.

Career pathways models have been adopted at the federal, state and local levels. Given their cross-system nature, states often combine multiple federal streams to fund different elements of career pathways models.

The US Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration had advocated for career pathways to fill the need for more highly trained and skilled workers.

The US Department of Education’s Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) has also supported career pathways initiatives to provide students with post-secondary education and training to improve their skills to advance in the workplace.  and recently selected five sites as recipients of grants to strengthen their career pathways efforts.

Career Pathways are often referred to as Campus Recruitment Training (CRT) in other Countries like the United Kingdom, China and India. This training program is taken up by Undergraduate colleges to train their students in facing placements through campuses. The program typically imparts training about interviews, group discussion rounds, aptitude and verbal test rounds.

ACTE
In addition, the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), the nation’s largest not-for-profit education association dedicated to the advancement of education that prepares youth and adults for successful careers, representing approximately 30,000 educators, administrators and others involved in CTE, supports career pathways and Career Clusters. ACTE has resources on career pathways in its online Research Clearinghouse ().

NCCER

Another organization dedicated to workforce development and construction education is NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research). NCCER is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) education foundation created in 1996 to develop standardized construction, maintenance, and pipeline curricula with portable credentials and help address the critical skilled workforce shortage. NCCER's training process of accreditation, instructor certification, standardized curriculum, national registry, assessment, and certification is a key component in the construction industry's workforce development efforts. NCCER is headquartered in Alachua, Fla., and is affiliated with the University of Florida's M.E. Rinker, Sr., School of Building Construction.

Career Pathways initiative
Career Pathways has spread quickly throughout states and cities as students and adults have benefited from their use and as communities have begun to see the rewards of the pathways.       In the Midwest, the Joyce Foundation's Shifting Gears Initiative is working to implement career pathways programs in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.   Other states including Arkansas,
California,
Kentucky, Oregon
and Washington  have statewide career pathways initiatives in place. Cities like New York, Madison, St. Louis, and San Diego have also begun to develop career pathway initiatives for their specific needs. More information on states’ approaches to career pathways is available in ACTE’s State CTE Profiles ().

A national Public Service Announcement (PSA) titled "Grads of Life" funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation launched in September 2014 to support career pathway initiatives. The campaign presents messages and images to persuade employers that candidates without college degrees but who are graduates of pathway programs can be valued employees.

The state of Oregon defines career pathways as a “series of articulated educational and training programs and services that enables students, often while they are working, to advance over time to successively higher levels of education and employment in a given industry or occupational sector. Each step on a career pathway is designed explicitly to prepare students to progress to the next level of employment and education.[1]”  More than 250 career pathway roadmaps are available through Oregon's 17 Community Colleges.

Career pathways initiatives are also in place on the local level, including programs at Madison Area Technical College, Portland Community College, James A. Rhodes State College, Santa Fe College, and South Seattle Community College (Auto , Business Info Tech , Welding , & Hospitality ).

Career Pathways is supported by the White House National Economic Council, the Office of Management and Budget, the U. S. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education,
Energy, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Justice, Labor, the Social Security Administration, Transportation, and Veterans Affairs

Cutzamala de Pinzón is a city, and the seat of Cutzamala de Pinzón Municipality, in the Mexican state of Guerrero. As of 2020 the town has a population of 4,717. It is located in the far northwestern part of the state, on the border with Michoacán.

Etymology
The name Cutzamala comes from a Nahuatl word cutzamallot meaning "rainbow"; hence, "Place of Rainbows.” It was known to Purepecha speakers as "Apatzingani,” which has the same meaning. An alternative theory suggests it is derived from the Nahuatl word cutzamatl, meaning "weasel."

History

19th Century
The first battle in the Tierra Caliente region happened in Cutzamala in 1810. In 1860, during the Reform War, Cutzamala was besieged by the Liberals with a force of 4,500 men in the Siege of Cutzamala. The Liberals eventually won the town.

Eutimio Pinzón, often considered the hero of Cutzamala, was the general who defended the town during the Second French Intervention in Mexico in 1874.

Demographics

The population of Cutzamala as of 2020 is 4,717.

Ballacraine Halt (Manx: Stadd Valley Craine) was an infrequent request stop on the Isle of Man Railway.

Origins

Originally opened in 1876 the halt provided a stopping place for the short walk to Glen Helen until 1879. Later in 1927 the halt was used again mainly by spectators attending the TT Races at Ballacraine.

Closure

The Douglas to Peel line closed in 1968 but this location ceased to be a halt in 1929; up until this time it featured infrequently in timetable literature and was only used as a somewhat unofficial drop-of point for spectators viewing the T.T. road races.

The site today
The Steam Heritage Trail now passes through the site, and the former crossing keepers' lodge has been retained, now forming a shelter for walkers.

Ron Weaver was a college football player for the University of Texas. Weaver, who played under the alias Joel Ron McKelvey, played under his own name when he enrolled at Monterey Peninsula College in the fall of 1984. He played at Sacramento State in 1988 as a wide receiver. Hence, Weaver had already used up his NCAA eligibility by 1989.  After graduation, Weaver failed tryouts with the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League and with the Houston Oilers since he was deemed to be neither fast enough (he ran only 4.6 in the 40-yard dash) nor strong enough (he could only bench press 250 pounds) to be viable in the pros.

Weaver was able to pull off his scam by enrolling at Los Angeles Pierce College under an assumed name and a different date of birth, using the name and Social Security number of a friend who had never played sports. Changing positions to cornerback, he played two seasons at Pierce before transferring to Texas, where he was recruited by the defensive backs coach and claimed his age was 23 instead of 30. Weaver also joined the team after photos had already been taken for the team media guide. He eventually received a full scholarship.

Reportedly, Weaver was not caught until he told a reporter that he planned to write a book about his scheme. He was not exposed until the day before the December 1995 Sugar Bowl, when The Salinas Californian, acting on an anonymous tip, revealed his real name and age.  A promise to produce a birth certificate came to nothing, and he disappeared shortly before the game.  The Longhorns lost to Virginia Tech; several players later said they were badly shaken by the discovery that one of their teammates was an imposter.

Coach John Mackovic and other officials claimed to know nothing of Weaver's fraud until he was caught.  Despite some initial concerns, there was no danger of Texas having to forfeit any games in which he played, as he had no impact on their outcome.  Ultimately, the NCAA cleared Texas of wrongdoing, accepting school officials' contention that they did not know and could not have known of Weaver's fraud. , this is the last known case of someone fraudulently playing NCAA Division I football.

After the story broke, Weaver's sister, Bonita Money, a television and film producer, said she was flooded with offers for her brother to sell the rights to his story. Bonita entered into a film deal with Addis-Wexler, Leonardo DiCaprio's management team a month after the scandal broke. Weaver and his sister had to cancel the deal once the Feds threatened to indict them for conspiracy if they completed a book or movie deal.

Weaver ultimately pleaded guilty in a California federal court to misusing a Social Security number; he did not serve any jail time.

Weaver's sister, Bonita Money, later became known as a minor actress who got into a 1992 fight with Shannen Doherty and was girlfriend to boxing legend and world champion Hector Camacho.

Knut Reinhardt (born 27 April 1968) is a German former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career
Born in Hilden, North Rhine-Westphalia, Reinhardt played 14 consecutive seasons in the Bundesliga, starting in 1985–86 with Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Reinhardt appeared in 32 official games in the 1987–88 campaign, including eight in the team's victorious run in the UEFA Cup. In the 1991 summer he moved to Borussia Dortmund, where he remained for the next eight years.

Reinhardt contributed with 47 matches to Borussia's back-to-back national championship conquests of 1995 and 1996. He left in January 1999 to 1. FC Nürnberg, featuring sparingly for his new club as it eventually suffered relegation as third from bottom and retiring altogether at the end of the following season.

International career
Reinhardt won seven caps for Germany, during four years. He made his debut on 21 September 1988 in a friendly with the Soviet Union, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute for Hans Pflügler in the 1–0 win in Düsseldorf.

Personal life
Reinhardt and his wife, Conny, fathered a boy named Lasse. After the divorce the son was adopted by her new husband, fellow footballer Jens Lehmann.

After his football career, Reinhardt started working as an elementary school teacher.

"I Miss You" is a R&B/hip hop song written by Webbie, Mouse and Mannie Fresh for Webbie's second studio album, Savage Life 2 (2008). The song samples Diana Ross' "Missing You", and features LeToya Luckett. It was originally going to feature singer Kelis, but she was replaced for unknown reasons. While the song is about Webbie being on the road and looking forward to returning home to his woman, it is dedicated to Houston rappers that recently have died, mainly for UGK member Pimp C. The song was leaked to the internet on February 5, 2008 and was officially released (for commercial purposes) on March 10, 2008.

Music video
The video was shot in Brooklyn, New York, and was directed by Edwin Decena, who also directed videos for artists such as Plies' "Shawty", Jaheim's "Never", Rich Boy's "Let's Get This Paper" and others.  Although Luckett is not physically present in the video (due to her being part of JD Lawernce's play Rumors), cameo appearances are made by Rick Ross and Lil Phat among others.

Philadelphia Tacony Disston Athletic Association Football Club, better known as Disston A.A. and nicknamed The Sawmakers was a U.S. soccer team sponsored by the Disston Saw Works company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The team played for several years in local Philadelphia leagues before joining the National Association Football League.  It was a perennial contender in both league and cup play until 1921.  No records exist for the team after that year.

History
The Disston Saw Works, founded by Henry Disston in 1840, was a company which had facilities in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood and later moved to the neighborhood of Tacony.  At some point, it created an athletic association, known as the Disston Athletic Association, for company employees.  The Disston A.A. included a soccer team, known as the Disston A.A.F.C.  Depending on the source, the team was also known as Philadelphia Tacony, Tacony F.C., Tacony Disston, and Philadelphia Disston.  These all refer to the same team.

The early history of the team is obscure, but it spent several years in local Philadelphia amateur and semi-professional leagues.  In 1910, it began winning a string of league and cup titles beginning with the American Cup.  From 1910 to 1912, they played in the Football Association of Philadelphia, winning two championships.  They played the 1913-1914 season in the Allied American Football Association of Philadelphia.   They then played in the American Soccer League of Philadelphia in 1915-1916,  winning the league title, before moving to the National League of Philadelphia for the 1916-1917 season.  In 1917, Disston A.A. went professional when it entered the National Association Football League .  The loss of players to military service in World War I led to the collapse of several leagues and teams.  While Disston did not end operations, in 1918 it did leave the NAFBL for a season.  That year, it also won the Philadelphia city championship.  Disston rejoined the NAFBL in 1919 and played the next two seasons.  In 1921, the league folded when several teams jumped to the newly established American Soccer League.  Disston decided against joining the ASL.
