Zacapu was known as “Cocupao” which means “Lugar de recepción” ("Place of reception"). This municipality was not widely known in the prehispanic era.

Colony
When the Order of the Franciscans arrived at Quiroga, they gave it the name San Diego Cocupao, by San Diego Alcala, a name that so far leads the parish.  After the arrival of the Spaniards, it began to grow in population leading to the city of today.
Quiroga was established as a town, by territorial law, on December 10, 1831.
By decree of the State Congress on September 6, 1852, it was called Villa de Quiroga, to honor the memory of bishop of Michoacan, Don Vasco de Quiroga.

Louisiana State Bank Building is a historic commercial building at Royal and Conti Streets in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana.  Built in 1820, it was the last structure designed by nationally prominent architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who died from yellow fever in New Orleans before its construction.  It has also been known as the Manheim Galleries building, from a long-time tenant. More recently, it has housed "Latrobe's", an event venue.   It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1983.

Description and history
The Louisiana State Bank Building is located west of Jackson Square, at the northern corner of Royal and Conti Streets.  It is a two-story building, with stuccoed brick walls rising to a parapet that surrounds a low-pitch hipped roof.  The first floor, higher than the second, has rounded blinds above the openings that house the windows and doors.  The main entrance is recessed, and there are wrought iron balconies on both street-facing facades.

The Louisiana State Bank was founded in 1818, and was the first bank established in the new state of Louisiana following its admission to the Union.  A competition was held for the design of its first building, whose results are not known.  The commission was eventually awarded by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, then already a successful architect with documented portfolio of civic buildings including the Baltimore Basilica.  Latrobe died in New Orleans in 1820.  The building was completed in 1822 at a cost of $55,000.  It has served a variety of commercial purposes over the years, including as the Manheim Gallery, an antique gallery, for much of the 20th century.  During the building's operation under Manheim, a roof was constructed between the main building and the service building, covering the exterior courtyard.  As of 2014, a wedding and events business called Latrobe's on Royal is operating in the building.

The Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network (WHSRN) is a conservation strategy targeting shorebirds in the Americas launched in 1985. Its aim is to protect the nesting, breeding and staging habitats of migratory shorebirds. The first site to be classified was Delaware Bay, which was dedicated in May 1986 as a site of Hemispheric Importance.

Sites in the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network may also be classified as Important Bird Areas, Ramsar wetlands of international importance, or both.

There are three possible classifications for sites in the network. Landscapes are always classified as being of Hemispheric Importance.

Hemispheric Importance
sites that act as staging, nesting or breeding grounds for at least 500,000 shorebirds annually, or at least 30% of the biogeographic population of any species.

International Importance
sites that act as staging, nesting or breeding grounds for at least 100,000 shorebirds annually, or at least 10% of the biogeographic population of any species

Regional Importance
sites that act as staging, nesting or breeding grounds for at least 20,000 shorebirds annually, or at least 1% of the biogeographic population of any species

Joe Ray Hastings (April 8, 1925 – April 16, 1945) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II.

Biography
Hastings joined the Army from Magnolia, Ohio in July 1943, and by April 12, 1945, was serving as a private first class in Company C, 386th Infantry Regiment, 97th Infantry Division. On that day, in Drabenderhöhe, Germany, he repeatedly exposed himself to hostile fire in order to attack the enemy. He was killed in action four days later. For his actions at Drabenderhöhe, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on November 8, 1945.

Hastings, aged 20 at his death, was buried in Magnolia Cemetery, Magnolia, Ohio.

Medal of Honor citation
Private First Class Hastings' official Medal of Honor citation reads:
He fought gallantly during an attack against strong enemy forces defending Drabenderhöhe, Germany, from the dug-in positions on commanding ground. As squad leader of a light machinegun section supporting the advance of the 1st and 3d Platoons, he braved direct rifle, machinegun, 20mm., and mortar fire, some of which repeatedly missed him only by inches, and rushed forward over 350 yards of open, rolling fields to reach a position from which he could fire on the enemy troops. From this vantage point he killed the crews of a 20mm. gun and a machinegun, drove several enemy riflemen from their positions, and so successfully shielded the 1st Platoon, that it had time to reorganize and remove its wounded to safety. Observing that the 3d Platoon to his right was being met by very heavy 40mm and machine gun fire, he ran 150 yards with his gun to the leading elements of that unit, where he killed the crew of the 40mm. gun. As spearhead of the 3d Platoon's attack, he advanced, firing his gun held at hip height, disregarding the bullets that whipped past him, until the assault had carried 175 yards to the objective. In this charge he and the riflemen he led killed or wounded many of the fanatical enemy and put 2 machineguns out of action. Pfc. Hastings, by his intrepidity, outstanding leadership, and unrelenting determination to wipe out the formidable German opposition, cleared the path for his company's advance into Drabenderhöhe. He was killed 4 days later while again supporting the 3d Platoon.

Posthumous honors
The United States Army transport  was named in his honor.

The Salón de la Fama del Beisbol Profesional de México (in English, Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame), commonly called the Salón de la Fama (Hall of Fame) is a baseball hall of fame and museum located in Monterrey, Nuevo León. It is dedicated to recognizing people who have contributed greatly to baseball in México. It had its first five inductees in 1939. As of 2020, 207 individuals, called inmortales, have been inducted into the Hall.

Election procedure

Eligibility requirements
To be eligible for election into the Salón de la Fama, one must be a former player, director, sportswriter, or umpire who participated in Mexican professional baseball, or a player of Mexican nationality who participated in Organized Baseball. However, there have been exceptions to these requirements made.

Players
Players must have played a minimum of ten seasons in either the Liga Mexicana de Béisbol or Liga Mexicana del Pacífico, or a total of fifteen seasons between the two leagues.  In the case of players of Mexican nationality, the seasons played requirement may be satisfied by playing fifteen years in Organised Baseball.

The player must have stopped being an active player for at least five years or must have died.  The electorate is to consider the merits of the player's performances and records, not for a single feat.  After five elections without being elected, the player is removed from the ballot and becomes eligible for election only by the Committee on Veterans.

These requirements have not always been in place, as players such as Monte Irvin Roy Campanella and Youman Wilder did not meet the 15-year requirement. Wilder did make the All-Decade Teams of the 1980s and 1990s.

Veterans
Veterans are players who played before 1970 as well as candidates that participated in five voting cycles in the player's election but were not elected.  After five veterans' elections without being elected, the player becomes ineligible.

Directors
Club executives, usually a president or vice-president, must have participated in at least ten years in Mexican professional baseball.

Sportswriters
A sportswriter must have covered Mexican professional baseball for at least fifteen years at a national level.

Umpires
An umpire must have participated in a minimum of twenty seasons total in both leagues.

Nomination

Players
The nomination and election of former players is carried out annually.  The preliminary ballot is created by the Salón de la Fama's administration and it is sent out to the members of the Comité Elector (Electing Committee) who vote for those whom they consider to have the merits sufficient enter the Salón de la Fama.  After the Salón de la Fama receives the votes, the results are soon revealed, and any player who obtains a majority of votes will be considered a candidate for election and be placed on the year's election ballot.  The election ballot, is sent back out to the Comité Elector - but only those with a Cédula de Votación (Voting Certificate).  They will choose the two exbeisbolistas inmortales who will be enshrined in that year.  From 2001 to 2006, three players were elected annually and previous to that four were.

In 2011 an exception was made for 5 time all-star and 2x MVP and 2x League champion Youman Wilder, Wilder played 5 years, and did not meet the 10 year minimum  requirements even with a 340 career batting average. Wilder has been left off the 2012 ballot, but did make the All-Decade teams of the 1980s and 1990s.

Veterans
The election of veterans is carried out every other year - the next election was held in 2007.  The election ballot, created by the Salón de la Fama's administration is sent to the Comité Elector and the Comité de Veteranos (Veterans Committee) for voting.  The Comité de Veteranos is composed of the president and former presidents of the Comité Elector (Electing Committee), and from 2003 on, living inmortales.  The electorate selects the single veteran inductee into the Salón de la Fama.

Directors
The election of directors is carried out every three years - the next election was held in 2008.  The election ballot, created by the Salón de la Fama's administration is sent to the Comité Elector, the Comité de Veteranos, the league presidents of the LMB and LMP, and the club presidents in the two league's as well. The electorate selects the single inductee into the Salón de la Fama.  In 2002, two directors were inducted.

Sportswriters
The election of sportswriters is carried out every three years - the next election was held in 2009.  The election ballot, created by the Salón de la Fama's administration is sent to the Comité Elector and the Comité de Veteranos. The electorate selects the single inductee into the Salón de la Fama.

Umpires
The election of sportswriters is carried out every three years - the next election was held in 2007.  The election ballot, created by the Salón de la Fama's administration is sent to the Comité Elector and the Comité de Veteranos. The electorate selects the single inductee into the Salón de la Fama.

Election
Once the ballots for each election are returned (by mid-February), the Salón de la Fama tallies the votes at the Convención Nacional de Beisbol during the third or fourth week of February.  The Salón de la Fama then announces the new inmortales and they are inducted in June or July.  The candidate with the plurality of votes - or in the case of the player's ballot, the two candidates - is inducted.

No. 516 Squadron was formed on 28 April 1943 at RAF Dundonald from 1441 (Combined Operations) Flight on 28 April 1943. Its role was to provide realistic training facilities to the Combined Operations Training Centre and other training units in the Western Scotland area. It operated a large variety of aircraft with the unusual task to provide realistic low-level attacks against commando and assault troops undergoing training. The work involved detaching aircraft near the troop training areas including RAF Ayr and RAF Haverfordwest. By 1944 the training of commando and assault troops was on the decline and the squadron was disbanded at Dundonald on 2 December 1944.

No squadron codes are known to have been carried between April 1943 and Dec 1944.

Yasnier Toledo López (born 15 September 1989 in Camagüey) is a Cuban amateur boxer from Pinar del Río who won the bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics and the PanAm lightweight title in 2011. He is a southpaw.

Career
After winning the 52 kg Under-17 world title in 2005, the following year he lost in the final to Russia's Vladimir Saruhanyan.

As a senior, he stood in the shadows of the near-invincible Guillermo Rigondeaux but when Rigondeaux didn't participate in 2007 he won the 54 kg national championships against Yankiel León and the international tournament Ahmet Comert cup.

In 2008 when Rigondeaux was suspended by the authorities, Toledo was defeated by veteran León at the Cuban national championships and therefore León was selected to be Cuba's representative in the 54 kg division.

In 2009 Toledo moved to featherweight and lost the national final to Ivan Onate.  Toledo won the Cuban nationals in his division every year from 2010 to 2015.

In 2011 he became silver medalist at the World Championships after losing to Vasyl Lomachenko, later in the year he beat Robson Conceição to win the PanAm Games.

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he beat Liu Qiang and Gani Zhaylauov before losing his semifinal match to Lomachenko.  Through his performance Toledo won a bronze medal.

At the 2013 World Championships, he competed as a light welterweight, winning the silver medal, losing in the final to Merey Ashkalov.  He won bronze in the same division at the 2015 World Championships.  At the 2016 Olympics, he beat Pat McCormack before losing to eventual silver medalist Lorenzo Sotomayor.

Brampton is a village in the Eden district, in the county of Cumbria, England. Before 1974 it was in the county of Westmorland; the nearest town is Appleby-in-Westmorland.

Toponymy
The place-name 'Brampton' is first attested in a Foot of Fines from 1208, where it appears as Branton. It appears as Brampton in the Close Rolls of 1283. The name derives from the Old English 'Brōm-tūn', meaning 'town or settlement where broom grew'.

Geography and Location
Brampton is located 2.41 km north east of Appleby-in-Westmorland. A stream known as Brampton Beck runs in front of Brampton to the east in what is a forest known as Brampton Gill. 360 metres south west of Brampton is Croft Ends, a small hamlet, and 1.8 km east is the village of Dufton.

History
Brampton is spelt in Christopher Saxton’s 1579 map of Westmorland and Cumberland as 'Branton'. The same name is mentioned again in Schenk and Valck’s 1670 map. In John Cary’s map of 1794 'Bramton' is marked, however the first cartographic mention of the village's current name comes from an 1831 map of the area.

Brampton Hall and barn is a Grade II listed building in the village dating from the 17th century. There are a number of other historic buildings and houses in the area including the New Inn, a public house dating from 1730, Town-end farmhouse (which was built in 1736), Midtown Farm from 1740, and most notably the nearby Brampton water mill and stables, which were most likely constructed during the late 18th century. Not too far away public hangings were reputedly held at what is now Hanginshaw Farm.

Nearby Brampton Tower is located near Croft Ends along with Clickham Farm and an old chapel known as Esplanadhill. The tower is an example of Gothic revival architecture which became popular during the 19th century. Goods shed and weighbridge offices were also built during this period (1873). Circa 1870, Brampton village had a population of 304 as recorded in the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales.

The Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) is a research division of New Mexico Tech, which performs testing of high explosives, bombs, and other munitions, as well as the means to deliver such munitions. It also offers courses for emergency responders in bomb response. EMRTC's offices are in Socorro, New Mexico. The  field testing and training areas are located west of town in Socorro County and they have an anti-terrorist training site in Playas, New Mexico, in Hidalgo County.

History
EMRTC was founded in 1946 by Dr. E.J. Workman, who moved the center to New Mexico Tech (then called the New Mexico School of Mines) from the New Mexico Experimental Range in Albuquerque, New Mexico. EMRTC was granted access to public land for their testing; the land is near "M Mountain" in Socorro, New Mexico. EMRTC also provides training to US and "friendly foreign governments" in counter-terrorism and explosive handling.

Citizen concerns
A few citizens of Socorro, New Mexico have mixed feelings about the presence of EMRTC.

On the one hand, businesses appreciate the high wage jobs associated with the institute as well as the out of town visitors that it brings in for training, many of whom stay for days or weeks at a time and infuse the local economy with their purchases.

On the other hand, many local residents who do not own businesses express frustration with the noise problems associated with testing explosives and bombs. In fact, EMRTC is known by many townspeople of Socorro as "the guys who rattle their windows" almost daily. The explosions typically occur in the late morning or early and mid-afternoon and can be heard - and felt - all over town.

EMRTC has recently been embroiled in controversy for a proposed "drop zone" which will involve training aircraft in dropping cargo, personnel, and eventually air-to-ground gunnery. This has been a heated topic at recent Socorro city council meetings, with many residents opposed but a vocal minority strongly supporting it. Proponents of the proposed drop zone suggest it will not impact Socorro residents negatively and will help the US military in essential training missions. Opponents of the proposed drop zone complain that the noise impacts may affect city and county residents and that the training site is not needed by the U.S. Air Force, which has other nearby drop zones available for training.

Saint-Nazaire-sur-Charente () is a commune in the Charente-Maritime department in southwestern France.

In the 1680s, Fort Lupin was constructed near Saint-Nazaire-sur-Charente.

Population

Places and Monuments
 Fontaine de Lupin (Lupin "fountain"): This building, set in the bed of the Charente river, was the source of supply for drinking water on ships from the Rochefort arsenal. It was located this far downstream to allow the ships to negotiate the muddy and shallow tidal estuary without the encumbrance of the considerable weight of water. The original construction of around 1676 was completely rebuilt in 1763; it is one of only three such watering places (aiguades) in France (the others being at Brest and Belle-Île). An elaborate supply system was involved, comprising capture of spring water from two inland sources (Fontaine des Morts, Fontaine de Fontpourry), conduit partly beneath the existing access road, and two enormous reservoir tanks (one of which still exists under the existing restaurant). The system was still in use early in the 20th century, but the water was then tested with modern means and found to be unsafe; now pontoons permit pleasure boats to moor here in Summer.
 Fort Lupin: A fort forming part of Vauban's coastal defence system. It was constructed from 1683 to 1686 to defend the Rochefort arsenal and the Fontaine Lupin (in conjunction with the advance posts on Île Madame and at Piedemont). The fort is not normally open to the public. An admirable feature is the symmetry of the building, - whereby the entrance is disposed symmetrically to the troops' toilets!
 "Carrelet" fishing pontoons, traditional fishing arrangements, line the Charente estuary as far as Rochefort. The "Carrelet" building takes its name from the eponymous square fishing net which is raised and lowered by means of a winch; the building itself is a wooden cabin on a platform at the end of a bridge crossing the shore line. Several associations defend this marine heritage.
 Saint Nazaire church: This building has witnessed numerous reconstructions, mainly as a result of the Hundred Years' War and the religious wars. Unusually for rural churches of the period, a sacristy was added at the end of the Middle Ages. The church is strikingly arranged in two naves, each of which with its own entrance portico and its own altar: the lavish South altar features a painting of the Virgin and Child by Hansmann, 1860. There is a remarkable ex-voto model of a two-decker, 74 gun ship called "le Zélé".
 The "Prison": Not much is known about this curious tiny building facing the road to Saint-Froult: there are similar buildings in Saint-Sornin nearby and on Martinique. Probably from the end of the 19th century, it is, at barely two metres square, considered one of the smallest prisons in France. It was presumably used for holding violent or drunk offenders very temporarily.

Joseph E. Cusack (January 13, 1868 – September 4, 1930) was an American football player and an officer in the United States Army.

Cusack was born into a military family of Irish immigrants in New York City, but as an infant was moved to Fort Stockton, Texas and later to Fort Niobrara, Nebraska.  In 1885, he enrolled at the University of Notre Dame and participated in their military cadet training program, achieving the rank of captain in Colonel William Hoynes' Light Guard, Company A.

Cusack played as a halfback in the first-ever football game to be played at the university—an 8–0 loss to Michigan on November 23, 1887.  The following spring, Cusack moved to the quarterback position and played two additional games against Michigan on consecutive days in April. The first was a 26–6 loss at South Bend's Green Stocking Ball Park in front of 400 spectators; the second was a 10–4 loss at Notre Dame.

After becoming a member of the first graduating class out of Sorin Hall in 1889, Cusack enlisted in the Army and eventually achieved the rank of colonel.  He died in San Antonio, Texas and is buried in Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.

Kohndo (also known as Doc Odnok, full name Kohndo Assogba) is a French rapper and producer born on June 17, 1975, in Saint-Cloud, a suburb of Paris. Kohndo is known as one of the best lyricist in french rap. He gained recognition as a rapper during the 1990s as a part of the influential rap group, La Cliqua.

Biography

Early career
After his birth in France, Kohndo moved to Benin (West Africa) where his family originated. A few years later he moved back to France, and grew up in Bobigny, a suburb located north-east of Paris. In 1984, he discovered part of Hip-Hop culture through the TV Show, H.I.P. H.O.P. hosted by Sidney. In 1987, he relocated to the "Cité du Pont de Sèvre" (Pont de Sèvre Housing Projects) in Boulogne Billancourt, a wealthier suburb located west of Paris. There he befriended his downstairs neighbor whose family, like his, came from Benin, and who would be later known in the rap scene as Zoxea, a member of Les Sages Poètes de la Rue. With Zoxea, Kohndo discovered the deeper aspects of Hip-Hop, and after having learned ‘human beatboxing’ began rapping. Zoxea introduced Kohndo to his cousin: Egosyst, with whom he formed the band: "Coup d’Etat Phonique" alongside producer Lumumba and then-young rapper, Raphael.
In 1994, at a radio show, Egosyst and Kohndo met Daddy Lord C, a rapper and former member of the Black Dragons, a Parisian gang. With Daddy Lord C, producer Chimiste, dj Jelahee and Rocca they would form La Cliqua.

The La Cliqua years
With the stage name Doc Odnok and as a part of La Cliqua, Kohndo toured radios and stages, and then released, in 95, a first EP, now considered a master piece of French Rap: "Conçu pour durer" (Built to Last) on Arsenal Records. Doc Odnok delivered, for the first time on record, his then eccentric rhyming style alongside his microphone associates: Daddy Lord C, Rocca, Raphael and Egosyt. The record was an immediate success in the French Hip-Hop scene. Quickly Arsenal Records signed with major label Barclay, and La Cliqua worked on their next project released in 1996 as a compilation album: "Arsenal Represente le Vrai Hip-Hop" (Arsenal represents the Real Hip-Hop). The record featured all members of La Cliqua and their young affiliates: Petit Boss and Cercle Vicieux.
Critically acclaimed, La Cliqua became a major feature on the French Hip-Hop landscape. They opened for Arrested Development at the Olympia in Paris and performed in New York City at the Zulu Nation Anniversary. Following in the footsteps of "Represente le Vrai Hip-Hop", Rocca was the first emcee from La Cliqua to release a solo album: "Entre Deux Monde" which featured Kohndo on: "Mot pour mot" and "Rap Contact 2".
In 1997, Egosyst, Kohndo's rhyme partner on "Coup d’Etat Phonique" decided to leave La Cliqua. Kohndo would remain with the band until 1998, when he left the crew to develop his solo projects and career.

After La Cliqua
Shifting lyrical styles for a more relaxed and mature approach, in 1998, Kohndo was invited on NAP's album "La fin du Monde", on Koma's "Le Reveil" and to participate in the compilations: "ZonZon" (Soundtrack) and "Paris, New York, Marseille" (along with Jay-Z and IAM). In 1999, Kohndo released a first EP: "Prélude à l’Odysée", establishing himself as a solo artist. The following year he released another EP: "Jungle Boogie", and then a 3rd one in 2001: "J’entends les Sirènes". On those solo projects, Kohndo exposed his vision of a Hip-Hop far from the clichés of violence and fake gangsterism.
2003 saw the release of his long-awaited album, the critically acclaimed: "Tout est écrit", presented as a recollection of "urban poetry" with welcome hints of soul and jazz. In 2004, Kohndo released "Blind Test", a compilation of older tracks and previously-unreleased materials.
Over the years Kohndo has open stages for Masta Ace, Edo G (at Nouveau Casino), Talib Kweli, Mobb Deep (La Scène Bastille) and Isaac Hayes (Olympia).

"Stick to Ground"
Kohndo released his second solo album in 2006: "Deux Pieds sur Terre / Stick to ground", a new masterpiece partly mixed in Detroit, featuring the Motor City's very own: Slum Village and Dwele. Other American artists contributed to this album such as Jaheim and Insight with who Kohndo delivers one of the best combination of French and English lyrics ever recorded. The album was released with a DVD which featured 3 new videos, including "Dis-moi" with Slum Village and "Stick to Ground" with Insight, both shot in Paris. Kohndo produced 4 tracks on the album. Other producers on the album include 20Syl of Hocus Pocus, dj Brasco as well as Jee 2 Tuluz and Stix  who were already featured on "Tout est écrit".
It must be pointed out that "Deux Pieds sur Terre / Stick to Ground" offers an international angle of Hip-Hop, not only because of the featured American artists but also because it has been released in Europe, Japan, Australia and in the USA.

Kohndo & Velvet Club
It was following the release of "Deux Pieds sur Terre / Stick to Ground", and after various collaborations with musicians that Kohndo decided to form a live band to share the stage with him. In a few months of meetings and auditions, Kohndo had created the "Velvet Club" - composed of: Sebastien Artigue (Bass), Yann Massoubre (Drum), David Santhino (Keys), Thomas Agrinier (Guitar) and Dj Kozi (Turntables). Kohndo & Velvet Club have performed all over France, noticibale performances have been at the festivals "La Rue au Grand Palais", "Nancy Jazz Pulsation" and the "Printemps de Bourges".

La Cliqua Reunion
In April 2008, Kohndo and the other members of La Cliqua (minus Raphael) came back together for a performance at the Festival l'Original in Lyon. This successful, unexpected, reunion which resurrected on stage some of La Cliqua's classic repertoire, was followed in January 2009 by a sold out concert in Paris, at the Elysée Montmartre.

Soul Inside
After touring with his live band for years, Kohndo worked on his third album "Soul Inside", influenced by live instrumentation, the album was released in May 2011 in Europe and a year later in the United States with 2 additional tracks inviting Rasco, Amad-Jamal, Flip and Rascue (Rasta Cue Tip of Various Blends). The first video for the single Soul Inside was released in December 2010. Other videos extracted from Soul Inside include "Rock On" featuring Song and Karl The Voice, "Mon Ghetto", "My Tribute (Mon Ghetto remixed by Flip)", "Mes Nuits" featuring Marie M, and "Vise le Ciel Remix" featuring Brother Amir.

Career developments and engagements
A rapper, beatmaker and executive producer, Kohndo is also working as a sound engineer on various projects, such as on the album of dj Brasco "Fill the Gap" which features American rappers: Frank n Dank, Phat Kat, Black Milk, Wildchild, Rasco, Declaime, etc. Kohndo is a member of the French Zulu Nation. He has collaborated on various projects and shows with french pioneer Hip-Hop Dj and main representative of the French Zulu Nation: Dj Deenasty.

The 2008 Murdoch state by-election was a by-election held on 23 February 2008 for the Western Australian Legislative Assembly seat of Murdoch in the southern suburbs of Perth.

The by-election was triggered by the death of Liberal member Trevor Sprigg on 17 January 2008. Sprigg had held the seat since the 2005 state election. A former football star with East Fremantle Football Club, he was a popular local member, and served in Parliament as the Opposition Whip in the Legislative Assembly. On 17 January 2008, while returning from the Gold Coast to attend a Liberal leadership vote, Sprigg died of a heart attack aged 61. The leadership vote produced a victory for Troy Buswell, and members were to learn of Sprigg's death only after the vote had been taken.

On 24 January 2008, the Speaker of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly issued a writ directing the Electoral Commissioner to proceed with an election in the district. Christian Porter, a 37-year-old law lecturer at the University of Western Australia, won the Liberal preselection ballot on 30 January 2007 against former minister and member for neighbouring Riverton, Graham Kierath.

The seat of Murdoch, first established in 1976, was considered to be a safe seat for the Liberal Party, with just two other members since its creation—former Leader of the Opposition Barry MacKinnon, and Mike Board. Commentators viewed the by-election as a non-event, and it became clear early that the Labor Party, in government in Western Australia since 2001, had no intention of contesting the seat, and that the media's main interest in the race was to debate Porter's role in a future shadow cabinet. Porter went on to win the seat against three non-major-party candidates.

Timeline

Candidates
The by-election attracted four candidates. Christian Porter, a 37-year-old law lecturer at the University of Western Australia, grandson of former Queensland Liberal MLA Charles Porter who held the seat of Toowong from 1966 until 1980 and son of former Western Australian state director Chilla Porter, won the Liberal preselection ballot against former minister and member for neighbouring Riverton, Graham Kierath. He was tipped, if successful, to become the shadow attorney-general, a role which had been vacant following the departure of Sue Walker (Nedlands) from the Liberal party.

Other candidates ran for the Greens, One Nation and Christian Democratic Party:
 Hsien Harper (Greens), an organiser for the Australian Services Union who previously ran for Willagee in 2005;
 Neil Gilmour (One Nation), the party's state president who ran for Division of Curtin in 2001 and the South Metropolitan Legislative Council region in 2005;
 Ka-ren Chew (CDP), a local solicitor who ran for Division of Tangney, which includes Murdoch and Riverton, in the 2007 federal election.

Results
As largely predicted, Christian Porter retained the seat for the Liberal Party. As the Labor Party did not run, a swing could not be determined, although the 10-15% increase in the Liberal vote due to Labor voters (35.51% at the 2005 election) choosing the Liberals ahead of the Greens was hailed by Porter in his victory speech at 7:40pm AWDT on election night.

The funeral tolling of a bell is the technique of sounding a single bell very slowly, with a significant gap between strikes. It is used to mark the death of a person at a funeral or burial service.

The expression "tolling" is derived from the English tradition of "telling" of the death by signalling with a bell. The term tolling may also be used to signify a single bell being rung slowly, and possibly half-muffled at a commemoration event many years later.

Tolling is typically used for tenor bells in change ringing, it also applies to bourdon bells as well in a bell tower or cathedral.

Origins
Historically, a bell would be rung on three occasions around the time of a death. The first was the "passing bell" to warn of impending death, followed by the death knell which was the ringing of a bell immediately after the death, and the last was the "lych bell", or "corpse bell" which was rung at the funeral as the procession approached the church. This latter is closest to what is known today as the Funeral toll.

Today, customs vary regarding when and for how long the bell tolls at a funeral.

In churches with full-circle English bells, for commemorative services such as funerals, memorial services and Remembrance Sunday, the bells are rung half-muffled instead with a leather pad on one side of the clapper in call changes or method ringing.  Very rarely are they rung fully-muffled with pads both sides. This can often be a quarter peal or peal – the latter lasting three hours.

No. 517 Squadron RAF was a meteorological squadron of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.

History
No. 517 Squadron was formed on 11 August 1943 at RAF St Eval, Cornwall, when No. 1404 (Meteorological) Flight RAF was re-numbered. It was equipped with Lockheed Hudsons and Handley Page Hampdens, which it flew daily out into the Atlantic to collect meteorological data. Between September and November 1943 four United States Army Air Forces Flying Fortresses were temporarily attached to the squadron, awaiting the arrival of adapted Handley Page Halifaxes.
By November 1943 the squadron had re-equipped with the Halifax and then moved to RAF St David's in Wales. Two further moves followed, one to RAF Brawdy in February 1944 and then after the war to RAF Chivenor where the squadron was disbanded on 21 June 1946.

Dragotin Kette (19 January 1876 – 26 April 1899) was a Slovene Impressionist and Neo-Romantic poet. Together with Josip Murn, Ivan Cankar, and Oton Župančič, he is considered the founder of modernism in Slovene literature.

Life
Kette was born in the small village of Prem near the Carniolan town of Ilirska Bistrica, in what was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Slovenia). His father was a teacher and a choirmaster; his mother died when he was four years old. In 1898, he enrolled in the State Secondary School in Ljubljana. In 1894, his maternal uncle, Janez Valenčič, who was paying for Kette's scholarship, withdrew his financial support because Kette published some satirical verses about the bishop of Ljubljana Jakob Missia in the student paper. Kette had to continue his studies in Novo Mesto, where he passed his high-school leaving exam in 1898. In Novo Mesto, he fell in love with the daughter of the district judge, Angela Smola (1881–1973), to whom he dedicated many of his poems.

During his high school years, he became acquainted with the young writers Ivan Cankar, Oton Župančič, and Josip Murn, who were introducing modernist elements into Slovene literature.

After graduating from high school, Kette was drafted by the Austro-Hungarian Army and sent to Trieste. In Trieste, he fell sick with tuberculosis and returned to Ljubljana, where he settled in a small room in a flophouse on the banks of the Ljubljanica River. He died there in 1899 at the age of 23. In the last weeks of his life, he was tended by his close friend Josip Murn, who died two years later in the same bed.

He is buried in the Žale cemetery in the Bežigrad district of Ljubljana.

Work

Kette's poetry was mostly influenced by Slovene folk songs and by classic writers such as Goethe, Heine, and Prešeren. Through his friends, he became acquainted with French symbolist and decadentist poets, particularly Paul Verlaine and Maurice Maeterlinck, but rejected them. He chose an original approach instead, similar to neo-romantic trends in fin-de-siècle Europe.

His most famous works include the lyrical impressionist poem "Na trgu" (On the Square), and a cycle of eight poems entitled "Na Molu San Carlo" (On Saint Charles Pier), written in Trieste.

Kette is also known as an author of popular children's literature. He wrote about 25 stories and poems for children; the best known are "The Tale of the Dressmaker and the Little Scissors," "The Sultan and the Doggy," and "The Bee and the Bumblebee." His children's literature is remains popular and has been translated into German, Czech, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, and Hungarian.

Influence and legacy
Unlike his friend Josip Murn, Kette became an established poet already during his lifetime. His death was followed by semi-official mourning and several public figures, including the mayor of Ljubljana Ivan Hribar, attended Kette's funeral. His collected poems were published in 1900, edited by Anton Aškerc (then considered the most important author in Slovenian), who had previously rejected Kette's poetry. Aškerc's condescending and patronizing preface to the edition was strongly criticized by Ivan Cankar and Oton Župančič, leading to a public dispute in which the young Slovenian writers challenged the aesthetic standards of the older generations, represented by Aškerc. On the first anniversary of Kette's death, Ivan Cankar published an influential essay in his memory, which began with the words:

Kette had an important influence on future Slovenian writers, such as Alojz Gradnik, Srečko Kosovel, Miran Jarc, Ivan Minatti, Janez Menart, Kajetan Kovič, and Ciril Zlobec.
