Hutt Park railway station was on the Gracefield Branch line in the Wellington region of New Zealand’s North Island, a terminus for passenger trains from Wellington.  The station was behind the Hutt Park Raceway and opposite the Hutt Workshops.

Services consisted exclusively of trains for patrons of race meetings of the Wellington Trotting Club at the Hutt Park Racecourse.  Picnic trains were run occasionally to Woburn station for excursionists whose ultimate destination was the Hutt Park, who were conveyed by bus or walked to the park.

History

There were two distinct eras of operation for the Hutt Park railway station.  The first covered steam-hauled race trains until 1949, the second electric multiple units from 1960 to 1965.

Steam era

The site of the station was first used for race trains in 1927.  The Wellington Trotting Club, which was holding four race meetings per year at the racecourse, had become concerned by reports that patrons had found it difficult to access the venue and sought to take advantage of the new Hutt Industrial Line (Gracefield Branch) that had been constructed to serve the new Hutt Workshops and ran behind the raceway.  Since the cessation of race trains along the Hutt Park Railway line many years earlier, racecourse patrons had been making their way to the venue by direct bus or by train to Petone Station then bus.

On 12 April 1927 the Club wrote to the Railways Department requesting that race trains be provided.  They estimated that two trains per race meeting would be required from Lambton Station in Wellington to the back of the Hutt Park Racecourse via Whites Line Station (Woburn Station), starting with the first meeting of the 1927–1928 season which they expected would be held in early October.

The department considered the matter and responded on 27 August 1927 that it would be willing to operate the services.  The line by this time had been laid as far as the Waiwetu Stream with ballasting expected to be completed prior to the first race meeting, and it was decided that the race trains would not interfere with other operations on the branch given the limited number of such services required.  Though the department offered to clear the ground at the proposed stopping point, it was made clear to the Club that the department would not be responsible for the installation of any additional services that may be required at the site should it prove to be inadequate.  In particular, there were at the time no sidings at the site, limiting train operations and frequency, and neither was the department prepared to construct a platform for passengers.

The Club accepted the terms offered, and proceeded to prepare the site to accept the race trains including the installation of entry gates to the raceway.  Two trains each way per race day were to be run, with the outbound trains running 45 minutes apart, the return trains 20 minutes.  The Railways Department charged a flat rate for travel to the raceway including admission, with the entrance fee being remitted to the club.

The inaugural trains ran to the first race meeting of the season on Saturday 17 September 1927.  The special integrated ticketing offered by the Railways Department ensured that the trains remained well patronised for many years, so much so that on 30 May 1929 approval was given for the construction of a  by  building with seating for passengers at the site.

Increased use of the Gracefield Branch for shunting operations for Hutt Workshops necessitated a change in working practices on the line in 1929.  Up to this time, race trains had been operated under Train Staff and Ticket regulations.  The new method of train working for the line was to use these regulations from Woburn to the Hutt Workshops; the Line Clear Working method beyond.  This required the installation of a telephone at Hutt Park to communicate with Woburn for the purposes of train control.  It was proposed to construct a small shelter at Hutt Park for the telephone, but it was also noted that the telephone could be located in one of the workshops buildings along with the ticket apparatus.

Usage of the service eventually fell away, due mainly to increased use of road transport and decreased attendance at the race meetings, to the point where, in the 1940s, it was no longer economical to operate the trains.  The last service ran to the race meeting on Saturday 5 February 1949.  Following the cessation of race trains all facilities that had been installed at the site for the handling of race traffic were removed.

Electric era

A decision by the Wellington Trotting Club to hold its race meetings at night from 1960 led to renewed interest in using trains to convey passengers to the meetings.  It was expected that the new format would lead to increased and stable attendance, justifying the resumption of the race trains and the installation of new facilities at Hutt Park railway station site to handle the traffic.

The Railways Department preferred to use electric multiple unit trains rather than locomotive-hauled carriage trains.  It expected that new facilities would have to be provided at the site, including an  wide,  long platform that would be capable of handling nine-car EMU trains; an extension of the electric overhead infrastructure to enable electric trains to use the workshops sidings; platform lighting; and access gates.  The club had agreed to arrange for the access between the railway line and the race track, and to provide the necessary lighting, while the cost to the department was estimated to be £2,500.  The club also had to arrange for the installation of three new raceway access stalls, and for the repair of the existing three stalls behind the platform, while the department had to arrange for the installation of a new service telephone and shelter for train control purposes.

Work on preparing the station for the first race meeting of the year on Saturday 27 February 1960 was well in hand early that year.  On 26 January, the District Engineer requested that the Foreman of Works proceed with the construction of a platform at Hutt Park.  The installation of a telephone and a walk-in shelter to house it were approved on 3 February, and a public address system for the platform was approved on 26 February.  Two days before this meeting, on 25 February, an electric multiple unit train was run to Hutt Park to test the new facilities, including the recently finished platform.  Other work completed for the first meeting included the installation of new access gates and the repair of old ones, and the installation of four pole-mounted electric platform lights.

As before the Railways Department sold integrated race meeting tickets, providing transport from either Wellington or Upper Hutt to the racecourse and admission. After disgorging their passengers at the platform, the trains moved forward and reversed into a workshops siding to await the return journey.

Patronage of the race trains for the first season, 1960, was considered disappointing, especially given the rosy projections from the club for attendance numbers and the exposure given to the service in the local media.  1,508 passengers travelled by train to the inaugural race meeting on 27 February, 272 to the 28 April meeting and the season ended with 491 passengers for the 7 May meeting.  Five hundred passengers was considered to be the minimum for the race trains to break even, and the number of cars in the trains was reduced throughout the season as demand fell away.

One unusual service to Hutt Park occurred during the 1960-1961 racing season when a group of trotting enthusiasts convinced the Railways Department to operate a railcar service from Masterton for the meeting on Saturday 25 February 1961.  Though private bus operators already provided a service between the Wairarapa and the racecourse, it was estimated that at least 88 people would avail themselves of the special railcar service.  Though the actual patronage of this service was considered reasonable, it was only enough for the service to break even.

Once the 1960–1961 season had ended and the data for the special services to Hutt Park had been reviewed, there was a suggestion that the revenue from the services was so poor that no further such services should be run. It was decided that in order to minimise the losses they would operate from Woburn only, connecting with regular suburban services.

Further disappointing returns from the 1961–1962 season resulted in further cost-saving measures, including the elimination of the station officer at Hutt Park, with his duties becoming the responsibility of the guard on the train; elimination of the assistant guard position on the race train; and reduction of fares to match those offered by buses.  These changes were approved for the 1962-1963 racing season on 1 August 1962.

Revenue from the 1962–1963 season was down compared with the preceding season.  Despite this, special race meeting services were again approved for the 1963–1964 season, using the same arrangements as for the previous season, on 10 June 1963.  The situation was repeated the following year when losses were again incurred but services were renewed for the 1964–1965 season on 25 May 1964.

Following a review of services to the racecourse after the 1964–1965 season, and in light of a continuing decline in both revenue and passengers, it was decided that no further trains would be run without a guarantee of revenue of between £30 and £35.  As these guarantees were not forthcoming, the race trains run during the 1964–1965 season were the last scheduled trains to Hutt Park Station, with the last service to the final race meeting of the season on Tuesday 11 May 1965.

Proposals

A 1975 report from the Railways Department into the possibility of a rail link for Wainuiomata suggested a route that involved the extension of the Gracefield Branch line through a three-kilometre tunnel.  The report mentioned various additional facilities that would be required to operate such a suburban service, including the need for a station in the Gracefield area.  It is possible that had work on this proposed rail link proceeded that Hutt Park Station could have been considered for a role in the Wainuiomata suburban rail service.

Today

The only remnant of the station today is the station platform that was installed in 1960 to serve the electric multiple unit race trains.  All other facilities that were provided for the handling of race traffic have been removed.

Though passenger traffic and all regular services stopping at the station ceased in 1965, freight trains continued to pass the station when operating services between Gracefield Freight Terminal and Woburn until closure of the freight terminal in 2002.

New Year Island, part of the New Year Group, is a  granite island and game reserve located in the Great Australian Bight, lying off the north-west coast of Tasmania, Australia.

New Year Group
There are four islands in the New Year Group. Besides New Year Island, these are:
 King Island,
 Christmas Island and
 Councillor Island.

While King Island has the largest area of the four islands, the group is named after New Year Island because it was discovered by Europeans a few days earlier than King Island.

Fauna
Breeding seabird and shorebird species include short-tailed shearwater, fairy prion, Pacific gull, silver gull and sooty oystercatcher. Reptiles include tiger snake, white's skink, metallic skink and eastern blue-tongued lizard. A species of mouse is present.

The island forms part of the King Island Important Bird Area because of its importance for breeding seabirds and waders.

Geography
According to the International Hydrographic Organization, the line separating the Bass Strait from the Great Australian Bight runs through King Island, so New Year Island lies in the Great Australian Bight.

Katharine Bulbulia (; born 1943) is a former politician from County Waterford in Ireland. She was a Fine Gael senator from 1981 to 1989, and subsequently joined the Progressive Democrats (PDs), serving from 1997 to 2006 as a senior aide to the party's leader.

She is a former director of the Crisis Pregnancy Agency, a government-sponsored body planning and co-ordinating body established to formulate and implement a strategy to address the issue of crisis pregnancy in Ireland. She was also a member of the AWEPA Governing Council.

Early life and family
Katharine O'Carroll was born in Dublin, but relocated to Waterford at a young age where she was educated at the Sacred Heart of Mary convent, before taking a diploma in household management at St. Mary's College in Cathal Brugha Street, Dublin (now the College of Catering of the Dublin Institute of Technology).  She subsequently graduated from University College Dublin with a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) and a Higher Diploma in Education (H.Dip.Ed), before working as a teacher.

She is married to Abdul Bulbulia, a general practitioner in Waterford. They have one daughter and two sons.

Political career
A founder member of the Waterford branch of the Women's Political Association, Bulbulia joined Fine Gael in the late 1970s, when the party's leader Garret FitzGerald was encouraging more women to join. She stood as a Fine Gael candidate for Tramore in the 1979 local elections, where she topped the poll and became the first woman ever elected to Waterford County Council. She was later elected as well to Waterford City Council, and served from 1979 as a member of the South-Eastern Health Board. On the Health Board, she fought to overturn the blocking by local officials of the distribution of a book called The Book of the Child, published by Ireland's Health Education Bureau, because it included a page about contraception.

Bulbulia then stood unsuccessfully as a Fine Gael candidate for the Waterford constituency at three general elections: 1981, November 1982, and 1989. After her 1981 defeat, she was elected to the 15th Seanad Éireann on the Administrative Panel, and re-elected three times until her defeat at the 1989 election to the 19th Seanad.

Martin Cullen the Progressive Democrats TD for Waterford, defected to Fianna Fáil after the a dispute over candidate selection for the 1994 European Parliament election, and Bulbulia then joined the PDs.  She stood as the PD candidate in Waterford at the 1997 general election, but again failed to win a seat. However, the Rainbow coalition government was defeated in the election, and a  new coalition government was formed between Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats.  Bulbulia was appointed as programme manager to the Tánaiste, PD leader Mary Harney, a post she held for nine years until Harney was replaced as leader in September 2006 by Michael McDowell. The job, which carried at the end a salary of €140,000 a year, involved daily liaison with the Taoiseach's programme manager, Gerry Hickey. That working relationship formed the main channel of communication between the two parties in the coalition. Bulbulia also played an important role in communicating with other members of the PD parliamentary party about the decisions taken at Government level.

Harney stayed on as Minister for Health after resigning the party leadership, and in November 2006 she appointed Bulbulia as chair of the Crisis Pregnancy Agency. The previous week, her husband Abdul had been appointed to a new Government technical advisory group on HIV/AIDS and other global communicable diseases. He had previously been appointed by Brian Cowen (Harney's predecessor as Minister for Health) as a member of the Medical Council of Ireland, where he initiated moves which led in 2001 to a softening of the Council's guidelines on abortion.

Her appointment was criticised by the anti-abortion Family and Life group, who condemned Bulbulia for having opposed the 1983 Anti-abortion amendment to the Constitution of Ireland. The following year the agency came into conflict with the Catholic pregnancy counselling agency CURA, when it refused to renew CURAs €654,000 contract to provide advice to pregnant women. In 2005, CURA had stopped distributing the Agency's Positive Options leaflet after Bishops objected to its inclusion of information on abortion, in breach of its contract with the Crisis Pregnancy Agency, and in May 2007 Bulbulia said that it was up to CURA to look at the agency's terms and conditions to see if they could abide by them. The contract was not renewed, and in October 2007 the Irish episcopal conference instructed its chief negotiator, Bishop John Fleming, not to sign a new contract with the Crisis Pregnancy Agency unless the church's "absolute" opposition to abortion was respected.

Baghdad Gymnasium (), formerly Saddam Hussein Gymnasium, is a sports complex in Baghdad, Iraq adjacent to the Al-Shaab Stadium. Designed by Le Corbusier under the commission of King Faisal II in 1956 for potential use in the 1960 Summer Olympics. After Faisal II was overthrown in a military coup in 1958 the project went through several changes of design and location. The architect died in 1965, leaving a wealth of drawings and studies for the multi functions of Baghdad's Sports Complex that included a large stadium, tennis courts, swimming pools and a gymnasium. Only the later was finally built between 1978 and 1980, to be inaugurated by and named after Iraq's president Saddam Hussein. The American army troops occupied the Gymnasium as well as the Shaab district for some years following the Fall of Baghdad in 2003.

Architecture
The center is constructed of reinforced concrete. The main roof spans 34 metres and is constructed with a steel truss covered with corrugated aluminum sheets. The trusses are exposed in the interior and house the mechanical ducts. The indoor 3,000 seat stadium and the adjacent open-air amphitheater are linked by an enormous sliding door which, when opened, integrates the two stadia. In addition to organizing basketball, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, fencing, boxing, wrestling, weightlifting, Taekwondo, Judo, and gymnastics competitions and practices, the Gymnasium is host to concerts, meetings and rallies for political parties.

Publications featuring the Gymnasium
In January 1980, the Ministry of Housing and Constructions – State Commission for Buildings issued an Arabic publication celebrating the completion of the building. "Of the things we must take into consideration at this time is the importance of the Youth and of supporting them and the activities they take part in, and their economic, social, and political effects on the State's policy. Here is why such a gymnasium is an essential need for our youth: this gymnasium is one of the most essential outcomes of the Revolution, for Iraq's young people and for supporting and developing its sportsmanship. Of the most special characteristics of this gymnasium is its novelty in Iraq. Together with the Al-Shaab Stadium and the Olympic Pool, which will be built next to the Gymnasium, the complex will mark the beginning of a Sport Center. The State Commission for Buildings is proud to present this Gymnasium to our sportsmen. Finished in record time, the Gymnasium's utmost architectural distinction is considered a great example of the contemporary architectural arts in Iraq. We wish for our sportsmen's efforts to succeed, and here is an initiative that furthers our support and giving."

In 1981, Iraq dedicated a series of stamps to celebrate the inauguration of Saddam Hussein Gymnasium, among other modern buildings such as The Palace of Conferences and the Open Mind Arch at Baghdad University designed by Walter Gropius.
In 2013, an international conference co-organized by Ifpo's Urban Observatory (French Institute of the Near-East in Beirut) and Baghdad University, College of Engineering, under the patronage of UNESCO, was held in Baghdad with the title "The architecture of Modernity in Baghdad: from Le Corbusier to the Iraqi pioneers". It focused on the Baghdad's Gymnasium and included a visit of the building.

Panjiri is a Ayurvedic sweet dish from the Indian subcontinent which is specially prepared for Krishna Janmashtami festival. The sweet panjiri evolved from an Ayurvedic preparation called Panchajīraka.

Etymology
The term panjīrī is derived from Sanskrit word panchajīraka which is an Ayurvedic preparation. The term panchajīraka is ultimately from Sanskrit elements panch (five) and jīraka (cumin or herbal ingredients here). Panjiri is prepared by roasting wheat flour in ghee and adding dry fruits and spices like jeera (cumin), dhaniya (coriander), saunth (dry ginger powder), saunf (fennel) etc. Alternatively, the term panjeri is also used in Rajasthani dialects.

Regions of use
Panjiri is consumed in Punjab,Pakistan, North Indian states of Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.

Cultural uses

Panjiri is traditionally prepared in the entire Northern, Central and Western India, and is often prepared as a Prasad in Hindu prayers during Krishna Janamashtami Satyanarayan Puja. and Bhagavata Purana Katha. The Braj region in Uttar Pradesh is specially known for its traditional Panjiri prepared during Krishna Janamashtami festival. Apart from this, Panjiri is also prepared as an offering to Devtas on occasions like Shanti Puja,  Havan, Trayodashi Vrats, Navratri Vrats, Dussehra, Janamdivas (birthdays) and other events in the Panchang, i.e. Hindu Lunisolar calendar.

Variations

Phalahari dhaniya panjiri
This Panjiri is prepared using Dhaniya, i.e. coriander seeds and is specifically prepared for Vrat. The wheat flour panjiri is replaced with Dhaniya Panjiri because consuming grains is generally not allowed during fasting, hence this dish is prepared with the powder of coriander seeds, ghee, sugar, almonds and raisins.

Pushtimargiya panjiri
This special variant of Panjiri is associated with Pushtimarg Sampradaya of Vaishnavism. Panjiri forms one of the 56 dishes of the Chhapan Bhog for Bhagwan Shrinathji, form of Bhagwan Krishna. This Panjiri is prepared as a Naivedhya for Shrinathji. The main ingredients used include : Variyali (fennel), Ajmo (carom), Dhanna (coriander), sunthi (dry ginger), pepper flakes and gari (dry coconut).

Dogra sund panjiri
In Jammu region, a special variation of Panjiri is prepared for winter season & Janamashtami Vrat and is called Sund Panjiri. This varaition is prepared using lots of dry ginger powder (sund in Dogri) and is loaded with dry fruits native to hills of Jammu division.

Rajasthani gond panjiri
In Rajasthan, Panjiri or Panjeri is prepared using edible gum (also known as Gond locally). The mixture is used to prepare laddus out of it.

Mathura's panchamrit panjiri

Banewreaker is a fantasy novel by Jacqueline Carey. It is Carey's fourth novel and the first in The Sundering series. Banewreaker is set in Urulat, a world based on J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, and many of the plot points mirror The Lord of the Rings.

Influences
Carey has acknowledged that the book is based around Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, as well as the classical tragedy form, reversing the good versus evil scheme of Tolkien by telling the story as an "epic tragedy" from the perspective of the characters who are perceived by most of Urulat as "evil". Carey stated that "it departs from convention in one significant way, which is that it's sympathetic to the losing side, and over the course of the two volumes, the story emerges as one long, colossal tragedy." The novel begins with a quote from John Milton's "Paradise Lost".

Merauke Force was an Australian-led military force of World War II which was responsible for defending Merauke in Dutch New Guinea from Japanese attack amidst the Pacific War. The force was established in late 1942 and was disbanded at the end of the war, having never seen combat. The Japanese attack did not eventuate and from mid-1944 the force was progressively drawn down and its assigned units redeployed to Australia or elsewhere in the Pacific. At its height, Merauke Force included troops from Australia, the Netherlands East Indies and the United States, as well as several squadrons of aircraft, including a joint Australian-Dutch fighter unit.

History
In mid-1942, Merauke, on the south coast of Dutch New Guinea was one of only a few parts of the Netherlands East Indies (NEI) that had not been occupied by Japanese forces, as the terrain had precluded further exploitation. It was garrisoned by a company of infantry from the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL), equipped with the majority of the heavy weapons available to the KNIL. The strategic location of Merauke  on the western flank of Allied forces in Papua led Allied commanders to order the building of an airfield there.  On 6 August 1942, a company-sized detachment, Company F, from the US Army's 46th Engineer Battalion arrived to commence construction.

On 31 December 1942, Merauke Force was formed, to reinforce the KNIL garrison. At the time of its establishment the force comprised C Company of the Australian 62nd Infantry Battalion, the 1st NEI Fusilier Company and various Royal Australian Air Force units. C Company, 62nd Infantry Battalion arrived at Merauke to reinforce the NEI company and RAAF on 7 January 1943. The remainder of the 62nd Battalion arrived on 1 February and an artillery battery arrived on 19 March.

The Australian force at Merauke was gradually expanded to a full brigade during the first half of 1943, after which Brigadier John Stevenson assumed command. This would see the garrison expanded to around 4,200 personnel (including 3,500 ground troops) by July 1943. As part of this build up, the headquarters of the 11th Brigade arrived on 28 April, and was redesignated Headquarters Merauke Force. The headquarters of No. 72 Wing, consisting of Nos. 12, 84, and 86 Squadrons, began arriving at Merauke in April and May 1943. Initially, No. 84 Squadron, operating CAC Boomerang fighter aircraft, was used in the air defence role over Merauke, flying patrols over the area from Horn Island; in July, after the airfield was completed, the Kittyhawk fighters and Vengeance dive bombers of Nos. 86 and 12 Squadrons arrived at Merauke. A radar station was also established at this time. Meanwhile,  B Company, 2/3rd Machine Gun Battalion arrived at Merauke on 2 July and the 31st/51st Infantry Battalion on 6 July. A Company, 26th Infantry Battalion was added to the force between 29 May and 2 August when it was flown into the inland town of Tanahmerah. The 52nd Composite Anti-Aircraft Regiment was formed in September from previously independent anti-aircraft batteries. The 62nd Infantry Battalion returned to Australia in February 1944 and was replaced by the 20th Motor Regiment.

In April 1944, the Allies began to plan an offensive along New Guinea's south coast using elements of Merauke Force. In keeping with this more active role Merauke Force Headquarters was renamed Headquarters 11th Brigade. The 2/9th Field Regiment arrived at Merauke in March 1944 but the machine gun company returned to Australia in May 1944 as the threat of attack against Merauke declined. No. 120 (Netherlands East Indies) Squadron RAAF, a joint Australian-Dutch unit that was equipped with  Kittyhawk fighters, began arriving at Merauke in early May 1944 from Canberra where it had been formed in December 1943.  Upon arrival, the squadron joined other RAAF units at Merauke that formed part of No. 72 Wing, replacing No. 86 Squadron. No. 120 Squadron began combat operations in June 1944. While the other RAAF units departed Merauke in late 1944, No. 120 Squadron remained.

The planned offensive along New Guinea's south coast did not eventuate and it was decided to reduce the force at Merauke in mid-1944. The 11th Brigade Headquarters returned to Australia on 6 August. The 31st/51st Infantry Battalion, A Company, 26th Infantry Battalion and 2/9th Field Artillery Regiment followed in later in August and September. This left the 20th Motor Regiment as the main unit at Merauke and the regiment's headquarters commanded the forces in the region under the designation Headquarters Merauke Area. The 20th Motor Regiment returned to Australia in February 1945 and command of the area passed to the 52nd Composite Anti-Aircraft Regiment. No. 120 Squadron moved to Darwin in April 1945, before proceeding to Jacquinot Bay and then Biak as part of its redeployment to  undertake further combat operations. Meanwhile, the 20th Motor Regiment returned to Australia on 4 July 1945 when the command of the Merauke region was handed over to the Dutch authorities.

Liam Madden (born 1983/1984) is an American Marine veteran, entrepreneur, and anti-war activist. Although a political independent, he was the Republican nominee in the 2022 United States House of Representatives election in Vermont. A critic of the two-party system, he stated that if elected, he would not caucus with House Republicans.

Madden served in the United States Marine Corps from 2003 to 2007. Shortly before leaving the military, he founded Appeal for Redress, a group of military personnel opposed to the Iraq War. He then served as a leader of Iraq Veterans Against the War, including chair of the board of directors.

Early life
In 1989, when he was four years old, Madden's family moved to Stowe, Vermont. In 1996, Madden they moved to Bellows Falls, Vermont.

Military service
Madden served in the Marine Corps Communications Electronics Specialist from January 2003 to January 2007 and attained the rank of Sergeant. During this time, he deployed to Kuwait, Thailand, Okinawa, Japan, and Korea, and spent seven months in Iraq.

After the end of his term of service, but while still a member of the Individual Ready Reserve, Madden was investigated by the Marines for his anti-war activities.  He was charged with making disloyal statements and with wearing his uniform at a political event, and he was threatened with having his honorable discharge status revised to "Other Than Honorable", which would prevent him from receiving benefits. The Marine Corps dropped its case.

Anti-war activism

Appeal for Redress
While still in the military, Madden worked with sailor Jonathan Wesley Hutto to write and begin circulation of the Appeal for Redress, taking advantage of a legal right for U.S. military personnel to petition their Congressional representatives.  The Appeal, which had been signed by over 2000 active-duty military personnel as of January, 2008, states:

As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq. Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.

The Appeal attracted media coverage from 60 Minutes, NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Nation, and the Army Times, among others.

Madden's leadership and activism against the Iraq war was praised by Vermont's U.S. senator Patrick Leahy:

Sgt. Madden is an American patriot. I wish officials in the White House and the Pentagon who got us into this fiasco had a fraction of his honesty and courage.

Business career
Madden was co-founder of Green Gas Movement, a greentech start-up that won the 2018 MIT Solve contest. He currently works as Director of Solar Energy at a Vermont based home energy company.

2022 U.S. House of Representatives campaign

Madden, an Independent and critic of the two-party system, ran in the Republican primary. His victory was considered an upset.

The Vermont Republican Party state committee disavowed Madden's campaign following a meeting with him on August 15, less than a week after his victory in the primary, citing his refusal to commit to caucusing with the Republican Party if he won the election. He would ultimately lose the general election to Becca Balint.

Political positions

Democracy reform
Madden is a critic of the two-party system and regards "fixing the government" his "top priority". To achieve a more democractic, accountable and responsive government he proposes the introduction of term limits, ranked choice voting, and national ballot initiatives. Madden calls for public funding of electoral campaigns, stating that "[w]inning an election under the current system requires hundreds of thousands of dollars. This excludes most working class people from participating, and gives inherent advantage to the kinds of representatives with access to, and perhaps disproportionate sympathies for the economically elite." He also advocates for using technology to "bypass politicians" as much as possible and create a direct democracy.

Economy and finance
Madden supports raising taxes for billionaires and large corporations to "invest this revenue into regenerative agriculture, sustainable infrastructure, healthcare, family leave, and education." He proposes the introduction of a wealth tax: "Taxing wealth and not simply income is the only way to prevent the accelerating concentration of power that threatens democracy." While sympathizing with the idea of Universal Basic Income (UBI) as put forth by Andrew Yang, Madden favors "universal public services": "Much of the same benefits of a UBI can be achieved via a federal work guarantee, federally funded (and locally controlled) health clinics, federal funding for 0% home loans and public transportation." Madden calls for the creation of a large "public service corps" to guarantee employment and "to build needed public infrastructure like public transportation, housing, education, healthcare, and regenerative agricultural resources". He supports worker cooperatives: "I would like to see a massive tax incentive, and other public subsidies for businesses offering meaningful avenues for employee ownership. And disincentives for companies that offer no such pathways." Madden is a proponent of the Modern Monetary Theory.

Infrastructure
Madden favors public transportation and wants it to be the "backbone of our infrastructure and transportation needs." He calls for "a trillion-dollar public transportation infrastructure and smart development, meaning creating housing and business land use patterns that are inherently more efficient."

Awards
In 2007 Madden received the Institute for Policy Studies' Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award.

Personal life
, Madden lives in Bellows Falls. He and his wife, Lauren, have two children.

One Way... or Another is the second album by American hard rock band Cactus, released in 1971 under the Atco label. It includes several original songs as well as two cover versions: Little Richard's 1956 hit "Long Tall Sally" (also recorded by Elvis Presley) and Chuck Willis' "I Feel So Bad" as "Feel So Bad" (their first album contained the song "Feel So Good").

The album then runs through a string of original compositions, with the addition of Chuck Willis' 1954 song "Feel So Bad" in the middle. Also included is the short instrumental "Song for Aries", which showcases McCarty's underrated lead guitar. The album was released in February 1971, just seven months after their first album.

Hans-Heinrich Dieckhoff (23 December 1884 – 21 March 1952) was a German diplomat best known for his service to the Nazi regime.

Dieckhoff was born in Strasbourg, Alsace-Lorraine. From 1937 to November 1938 he served as German ambassador to the United States, until recalled in response to the American recall of its ambassador in protest over the Kristallnacht. He was the last to occupy the post until after the war. In 1943 he assumed the post of ambassador to Spain.

Dieckhoff was interrogated after the war and was called to testify at the Nuremberg trials, but he was never formally charged with any crime. During his American posting he was involved in the controversy over the German American Bund relaying an order from the German government that German nationals were not to be associated with the organization; and in 1938 he warned Adolf Hitler that President Roosevelt had taken an implacably hostile stance towards the Nazi government and that he was preparing for war against Germany.

Dieckhoff was related through marriage to Joachim von Ribbentrop, being the brother-in-law of Ribbentrop's sister.

The Sojourners Community is an intentional community that was started in the early 1970s by a group of students at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. The founders had the desire to further explore the relationship between their orthodox Protestant faith and the social crisis that surrounded them, particularly around the Vietnam War. In the fall of 1971, they began publishing the Post American, a newspaper that expressed the group's commitment to the faith and ideas about social change. The Sojourners Community is most widely known for Sojourners magazine and for the writing and speaking of its founding member Jim Wallis.

History
In the summer of 1971, the group organized an intentional community in Rogers Park, Illinois. However, in 1974, the community disintegrated. The remaining members decided to move to the inner-city neighborhood of Columbia Heights, Washington, D.C., where they could better address urban problems and national politics. Combining their assets and incomes, the group gradually established households and a network of social outreach programs. The community lived together in these common households, shared a common purse, formed a worshiping community, got involved in neighborhood issues, organized national events on behalf of peace and justice and continued to publish Sojourners magazine.  The vestige of the Sojourners' intentional living community remains its intern community, a group of individuals who are hired as year-long interns and who live together in intentional Christian community for that year as part of the internship experience.

Other Evangelicals have critiqued the Sojourners Community due to their combination of strict evangelical Protestant beliefs (though the Sojourners living community and wider organizational network has also long included mainline Protestants and Catholics) and radical "social priorities [which] run in markedly different directions".  Also, Sojourners differentiates from other evangelicals in its condemning of militarism, corporate excesses, and the exploitation of people in the Third World. However, other social critiques are similar to those of other evangelicals on issues such as condemning of abortion (as part of a wider pro-life stance that includes protection of life from conception to grave, i.e. anti-war and anti-hunger stances). Sojourners advocates economic justice and expanded services for the poor.

Pedro Mariño de Lobera (1528–1594) was a Galician soldier, conquistador and chronicler of the Arauco War in the Captaincy General of Chile.

Biography
A professional soldier who served in the war between Spain and France, he went to the Americas in 1545.  Mariño joined the forces of Pedro de La Gasca in Havana, Cuba, when he received the order of King Carlos V to end the revolt of Gonzalo Pizarro in Peru. He was then transferred to Lima where he remained until his trip to Chile, in 1551.

In Chile he participated actively next to Pedro de Valdivia and Francisco de Villagra in the first campaigns made to the South, as an outstanding soldier. Also, he was present in the campaigns of the governors García Hurtado de Mendoza and Rodrigo de Quiroga.

Later, in payment of his services, an encomienda in the city of Valdivia was granted to him. He was the corregidor of the city, rendering his aid to the victims of the flood caused by the 1575 Valdivia earthquake. Later he was also corregidor of Camaná, in the south coast of Peru, returning later to Lima.

In his last years Mariño de Lobera developed a friendship with the Jesuit Fr. Bartolomé de Escobar, who also had been in Chile, giving him the manuscripts of his Chronicle of the Kingdom of Chile () to be corrected and published by the priest. Even though Fr. Escobar edited the manuscript, the text was never printed at the time. Only in 1865 was it published in the Volume VI of the Colección de Historiadores de Chile y documentos relativos a la Historia Nacional de ese país. Mariño de Lobera died in Lima in 1594.

"Crucified" is a song by Swedish band Army of Lovers, released as the first single from their second album, Massive Luxury Overdose (1991), and the seventh single to be released by the band. It was released in May 1991 (in Sweden), February–April 1992 (in the UK and US), and July 2013 ("Crucified 2013"). The song was written by bandmembers Alexander Bard and Jean-Pierre Barda with Anders Wollbeck, and features Barda (vocals, drums), Bard (vocals, computer) and La Camilla (vocals, bass). It was successful in several European countries, including Belgium, where it reached the number-one spot, and Germany, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland, where it reached the top 10. In the United States, "Crucified" became a huge club hit and radio favorite, debuting at number six on the Billboard Dance singles chart and spending a total of 14 weeks in the top 20. The initial remixes available on the CD maxi and vinyl 12" maxi are by Nuzak. The track samples the drum break from James Brown's Funky Drummer.

In 2013, Army of Lovers made a new version of the song, simply called "Crucified 2013". It contained new vocals from Camilla Henemark, and then a second version with new vocals from Dominika Peczynski was issued.

Kurt Cobain of the hugely successful alternative rock group Nirvana praised the band in his posthumously published journals, specifically the song "Crucified."

Chart performance
"Crucified" became very successful on the charts in Europe and the US, peaking at number-one in Belgium, and number two in Greece and the Netherlands. The song remains to date one of the bands biggest hits, entering the top 10 also in Austria (3), Germany (5), Spain (8), Sweden (8) and Switzerland (6) in 1991. In the United Kingdom, the single peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart on February 23, 1992, after having reached number 47 the year before. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Crucified" peaked at number 14 in March 1992. Outside Europe, it enjoyed success in the US, peaking at number six on both the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart and the Billboard Dance/Electronic Singles Sales chart.

In 2014, the single again charted in the US, reaching number 18 and 45 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart and the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Critical reception
AllMusic editor Ned Raggett described the song as a "totally over-the-top disco anthem on all fronts that takes ABBA's winning combination of memorable hooks and harmonies as inspiration and slathers a load of glitter and make-up over the whole thing." He noted further that "having ultracampy lyrical asides like "I cry, I pray, mon dieu" doesn't hurt the sheer giddiness at work, and neither do the "I'm crucified like my saviour" chorus, church organ and twangy Duane Eddy guitar." David A. Keeps from Austin American Statesman felt songs like "Crucified" "are steeped in romantic and biblical imagery that suggests, in a typically broad camp stroke, that obsessive love is the most religious experience of all." Larry Flick from Billboard complimented it as a "super-hot slammin' houser". Bevan Hannah from The Canberra Times wrote, "Judging by the video for their first single release "Crucified", their image was carefully plotted, combining cabaret style costumes and graphics with groovy European dance rhythms." Ian Gittins from Melody Maker named it Single of the Week, declaring it as "a wicked, s-s-s-sizzling dance cut with an immaculate sense of deadpan camp and a pounding beat punctuated by choruses which build up like the sun rising. Then the whole caboodle is topped with the most nerve-rackingly exact Scandinavian harmonies since Abba." A reviever from Music Week viewed the song as "a bizarre pop/dance confection, both commercial and camp."

Newcastle Evening Chronicle called it a "clever almost choral rock approach on a lively danceable number", noting its "ebullient bounce". A reviewer from People Magazine said that "disco goes to church in this hip-hop hallelujah". James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update commented that it's "camp and corny party fun from Sweden, this Abba-ishly chorused, phonetic guy rapped, strings swirled and — just to cap it all! — Duane Eddy-ish guitar twanged 0-122bpm jiggly jumper sounds like a pop hit with wide gimmick appeal". Sophie Lawrence reviewed the song for Smash Hits, writing, "It's one of those records where you can imagine everyone at a disco dancing around with their hands in the air, isn't it? I like it. It's got a gospel feel and really good harmonies on it." Edna Gundersen from USA Today said, "Watch for Army of Lovers to succeed Right Said Fred as the newest camp sensation to hop the pond. The Stockholm trio's loopy, trashy Eurodisco single, "Crucified", is the best but by no means the only infectious groove on their Massive Luxury Overdose album." Joe Brown from The Washington Post found that "the Army reveals a lyrical obsession with a millenarian-apocalyptic- sacrilege thang, and La Camilla's kitschy cooing includes imitations of Grace Jones and Debbie Harry."

Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single. It was directed by Swedish directors Fredrik Boklund and Martin Persson, and filmed at Börringe Priory, a castle in Svedala, Sweden, that was built in 1763 on the ruins of a medieval Benedictine priory. In one scene, the band is seen parading past a potrait of Carl XVI Gustaf. The video was one of the most played on MTV Europe in the fall of 1991. It was later published on YouTube by Vevo in May 2016, and had generated more than 14 million views as of February 2023.

Usage in media and cover versions
The music video of "Crucified" was used in an episode of American animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head.

The song was played in Gabriel Aghion's 1996 film, Pédale douce, and was thus included in the track listing of the soundtrack. It was also played in the film Marock (2005), and was in the video game Just Dance 4 on the Wii.

Alexander Bard's music project, Gravitonas used a sample of the song on the track "Sacrifice" from their 2012 Black Ceremony EP.

The song was covered by the Swedish band Ghost in their extended play titled If You have Ghost.

In 2021, Azerbaijani singer Efendi sampled the first few seconds of Crucified for her track "Mata Hari", which would represent Azerbaijan in Eurovision 2021.

The Bushmaster M17S is a semi-automatic bullpup rifle that was manufactured by Bushmaster Firearms International from 1992 until 2005.

History
The design of the M17S dates back to 1986 when the Australian company Armtech Ltd. developed the prototype as a prospective military rifle for the Australian Army. Two prototypes were developed, one for the 5.56×45mm NATO, the C60R, and the more revolutionary C30R that used caseless ammunition. The C30R was developed hastily and an out-of-battery ignition resulted in a prototype exploding during a high-profile demonstration.

The Australian Army adopted a licence-built version of the Steyr AUG, leading to the sale of the Armtech design to another Australian company, Edenpine (Edenpine Pty Ltd. Charles St. George, improved the design, resulting in the ART-30 and SAK-30. The salient features of the M17S were in place but some Finnish Valmet parts were used instead of AR-15 parts to reduce costs. Edenpine expressed interest in selling the design on the United States market and subsequently licensed the design to Bushmaster for local manufacture, thus avoiding import restrictions. The rifle was sold from October 1992 to 1994 as the "Edenpine M17S Bull-Pup rifle". The distributor was Edenpine (USA) Inc., headquartered in San Jose, California.

When Edenpine folded in 1994, the totality of the rights passed to Bushmaster, who manufactured it as the "Bushmaster M17S", starting just a few months before the approval of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. The M17S was the only American-made bullpup rifle to be offered commercially, and the only one not banned by name. The BATF approved a version with a longer barrel sleeve which covered more of the muzzle thread. This made it impossible to securely attach the M16-style "Birdcage" flash hider without modification of the barrel sleeve.

Design

The Bushmaster M17S is a semi-automatic rifle that uses a gas-operated, rotating bolt. The design takes the operating system of the Armalite AR-18 and moves the pistol grip forward in a manner similar to the British SA80. Instead of the sheet metal receiver of the AR18 and SA80, the Bushmaster M17S uses an extruded 7075-T6 aluminum receiver that serves as the stock and foregrip as well. This method of construction is particularly efficient and was subsequently copied by other designs.

Operation is a short-stroke fixed piston system that is self-compensating. The rifle is chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO and accepts STANAG magazines. The main drawback of the subsequent modified design, reported by some users, was the tendency of its aluminum hand guard to become hot after one or two magazines were emptied in rapid fire. Bushmaster discontinued production of the M17S in 2005.

Variants

A more up to date version is offered by K&M Arms and chambered in at least four calibers.

The Addrisi Brothers were an American pop duo from Winthrop, Massachusetts. The brothers themselves were Donald "Don" Addrisi (December 14, 1938 – ) and Richard "Dick" Addrisi (born ).

Biography
Both Don and Dick played parts in their family's acrobatic group, The Flying Addrisis. In the 1950s, they got in touch with Lenny Bruce about starting a singing career and moved to California. They auditioned for parts on the Mickey Mouse Club, but were rejected. Soon after, however, they signed to Del-Fi Records and recorded several singles. Aside from the modest chart hit "Cherrystone" (1959), these were not successes. Further releases from Imperial Records and Warner Bros. Records fared no better, so the pair began working more as songwriters.

The Addrisi Brothers' biggest success as a songwriting duo was "Never My Love", a hit for The Association; the brothers themselves had a hit with it in 1977.  They also charted several more hit singles in the 1970s and composed the theme music for the television program, Nanny and the Professor. In 1977, they secured their biggest chart hit with "Slow Dancin' Don't Turn Me On", released on Buddah Records. They worked together until Don Addrisi died from pancreatic cancer in 1984. His ashes are interred, along with his parents, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale).

At present, Richard Addrisi lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
