FK ASK Riga was a Latvian football club of the Latvian army, founded in 1923. In the 1920s and 1930s it was one of the leading clubs in Latvia. In 1940s it was disbanded, a new football club of the Soviet army was created in Riga under the name FK AVN, later AVN was renamed to ASK. It became defunct in 1970.

History

Original FK ASK

ASK was founded as a football club with the Latvian army in 1923. In its first year the club earned a promotion to the top Riga division by beating Union Riga. The stadium of ASK (built in 1923) was one of the main football arenas in Riga, Latvia national football team played many matches there.

In 1924 ASK finished second in Riga, but both in 1925 and 1926 it finished last and thus in 1927 it didn't earn a place in the newly founded Virsliga (first league in Latvia to have clubs from both Riga and other cities).  In 1928 ASK earned a promotion to Virsliga by beating LNJS Liepāja.

In 1932 ASK won its first Virsliga title (in a golden match against Riga Vanderer). As at the end of the season both clubs had equal points and it was the first such precedent in the Latvian league and no regulations existed for such situations to determine the champion, at first the position was that both clubs be awarded 1st place in the league, neither of the teams would be considered the "champion" and Rīgas FK as the previous year's winners would retain that title. However a vote in the Latvian Football Union decided that the champion would be decided in a golden match. In the golden match ASK won 3:1 Rehtšprehers, Bredersons and Timpers scored for ASK, Jenihs – for Vanderer. In 1933 ASK won the Riga Football Cup, in the finals they beat Vanderer again.

Through the entire 1930s ASK was always close to the top but it couldn't win another Latvian title as Olimpija Liepāja and Rīgas FK usually came out with more points at the end of the season, that came only during German occupation of Latvia during World War II.

In 1940 ASK together with other popular Latvian football clubs was disbanded by the Soviets but in 1941 it was reformed. In 1942 and 1943 it won the Latvian league, and in 1943 – the Latvian Cup. In 1944 as the Soviet Army entered Riga the club was disbanded again, one of its star players – Aleksandrs Vanags later became popular while playing with RC Strasbourg in France.

FK AVN

In 1945 a new army football club – FK AVN – was created to replace the former ASK. In the early 1950s it was one of the strongest football clubs in Latvia that won the Latvian league in 1950 and 1952 and the Latvian Cup in 1950–1952. Still it was a completely different club than the former ASK as it Soviet soldiers from different Soviet republics played with it. In 1953 the club was disbanded as a part of the process of eliminating army clubs all over the USSR. The most notable footballer of this era of the club was the goalkeeper Valentin Ivakin who only played with AVN for one year (in 1952), however later he played with top Soviet clubs – CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow and even made one international appearance for USSR national football team. It was restored just a year later and earned promotion to the top league at the end of the 1954 season. Just one year later it was renamed to ASK Riga.

Soviet FK ASK

FK ASK had a strong dominance in the Latvian league in 1960s as it won the Latvian league 6 years in a row (such a result was surpassed only in the 1990s by Skonto FC). Just like AVN this ASK was a club that didn't rely too much on the local footballers, but at least some Latvians did get a chance to play there and one of them was future Daugava Rīga professional and Latvia national football team coach Jānis Gilis.

The second half of the 1960s wasn't as good for ASK as the first one, and in 1970 it became defunct.

Robert Cummin Katter (born Cummin Robert Katter, 5 September 191818 March 1990) was an Australian politician who served in the House of Representatives from 1966 to 1990, representing the National Party (originally named the Country Party). He served as Minister for the Army in the McMahon government in 1972. His sons Bob Katter Jr. and Carl Katter as well as grandson Robbie have also been involved in politics.

Early years
Katter was born on 5 September 1918 in South Brisbane, Queensland, the fourth child of Vivian Bridget (née Warby) and Carl Robert Katter. His father was a Maronite Catholic born in Lebanon and his mother was Australian. He has been described as a cousin of the Lebanese-American poet Khalil Gibran. His father was one of the two-dozen original investors in the airline Qantas. He was raised and educated "probably by the nuns" in Cloncurry and later at Mount Carmel College in Charters Towers. He began legal studies at the University of Queensland and resided at St Leo's College (when the college was at Wickham Terrace).

With the outbreak of World War II, he served in the Australian Army as a lieutenant from 1940 and was promoted to captain in 1942. In July 1942, his service was terminated on grounds of ill health. Later he was proprietor of the local drapery business, menswear store and picture theatre in Cloncurry, Queensland. One of his first actions in taking over the cinema was to remove the steel railings which separated the Aboriginal patrons from other cinema-goers, and to remove the hard chairs, so that everyone was forced to share the canvas seats normally reserved for European Australians.

Katter served on Cloncurry Shire Council for over twenty years. He was a Councillor from 1946 to 1967 and was its Chairman from 1948 to 1951 and again from 1964 to 1967.

Katter married his first wife, Mabel Horn, in 1943, and they were married until she died in 1971. Bob Jr, Norman and Geraldine are his children from his first marriage. Katter remarried in 1976 to Joycelyn Steel. Carl, Richard and Bernadette are his children from his second marriage.

Political career

Katter was at one time a member of the Australian Labor Party and a union delegate on the Brisbane wharves and had a long history of active unionism prior to his entry into public life. Bob Katter Sr. was a member of the executive of the State Service Union in Queensland and was also a member of the executive of the tally clerks division of the Federated Clerks' Union of Australia in Queensland. He left the Labor Party in 1957, when the Queensland Labor Party split from the federal party, running under that party's banner for the state seat of Flinders in that year's state election. Later, he joined the Liberal Party.

In 1966, he joined the Country Party, later the National Party, and won Country preselection for Kennedy, a mostly rural seat in northern Queensland. On paper, he faced daunting odds. The seat had been in Labor hands for all but two terms since Federation, and it had been one of the few country seats in which Labor consistently did well.  At the time of the election, Labor held the seat with a 13 percent majority. However, Katter won on the third count, after Democratic Labor Party candidate Edward Bennett's preferences flowed mostly to him, allowing him to take the seat on a 15 percent swing, becoming only the second non-Labor member ever to win it.

A 1969 redistribution cut out Labor-voting Bowen, replacing it with conservative-leaning Charters Towers. This allowed him to consolidate his hold on the seat, and he became the first non-Labor candidate in four decades to win a primary vote majority in Kennedy. He would not face another serious contest again until 1987, the first time since his initial run for the seat that he failed to win enough primary votes to retain the seat outright. He retired in 1990.

He was Minister for the Army from February 1972 to the McMahon government's defeat at the December 1972 election. From 1976 to 1983, he was Chairman of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Road Safety and was a strong advocate for the introduction of random breath-testing in Queensland and other states in which it had not already been implemented.

He also served as Chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade. He served two terms as Australian Parliamentary representative to the United Nations. Katter was appointed by the Australian Tourist Commission as an ambassador to the United States for tourism after the success of the film "Crocodile" Dundee there in 1986.

He played a major role in establishing the Stockman's Hall of Fame at Longreach and was its founding chairman.

He chose not to contest the 24 March 1990 election, and he retired when the Parliament was dissolved on 19 February. He died a month later, a week before the election. He was survived by his second wife, two sons and a daughter from his first marriage, and two sons and a daughter from his second marriage.

Despite his many years as a member of the Country/National Party, he was said to have lived and died a Labor man. Indeed, he retained elements of 1950s Labor policies in his platform, including opposition to neoliberalism.

Notable descendants
Several of his descendants have carried on his legacy and entered into Australian politics.

Robert Carl "Bob" Katter Jr, son of Bob Katter Sr, is the current federal member for Kennedy and leader of Katter's Australian Party.
Carl Katter, son of Bob Katter Sr, 2016 Australian Labor Party candidate for the federal seat of Higgins in Victoria.
Robbie Katter, grandson of Bob Katter Sr and son of Bob Katter Jr, became the first member of Katter's Australian Party elected to the Queensland State Parliament.

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the SNES version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "There's nothing wrong, just nothing notable."

Captain Squideo of GamePro gave the Genesis version a negative review, remarking that the game is highly derivative of other platform shooters, and that it suffers from delayed controls, overly small enemies, and a lack of variety in the gameplay. A reviewer for Next Generation gave the Genesis version one out of five stars. He too found the game overly derivative, and commented that "Some of the backgrounds are well shaded, and the accompanying music is a touch on the eerie side, but all this game does is to prove that bad movies make horrible side-scrolling action games."

The SNES version was better received. Upon its release The Post and Courier gave a positive review for the game, saying that the SNES version's graphics were better than those of the Genesis/Mega Drive port and that the game was overall good for novice and young players. GamePros Bro' Buzz gave the Super NES version a more mixed appraisal than Captain Squideo's Genesis version review. He also criticized the delayed controls, but praised the organ music and sound effects, and concluded "Warlock won't set your system on fire, but ... it's a good intermediate adventure with some truly challenging puzzles."  However, in 1999, Game Informer gave the SNES version 3.5 out of 10, saying, "While visually appealing at times, Warlock is repetitive and lacking in interesting enemies, and the only thing that challenges the player is the horrid play control of the character."

In 2012, Complex included the game on its list of "The 10 Greatest Wizards in Video Games" due to the versatility of the druid player.

Tristano Martinelli (c. 1556 – 1630), called Dominus Arlecchinorum, the "Master of Harlequins", was an Italian actor in the commedia dell'arte tradition.
He is probably the first actor to use the name 'Harlequin' for the secondo zanni role.

Biography
Martinelli was active in France in 1584 to 1585, where he presumably first acted in his Arlequin role. There is no mention of the Arlequin, Arlecchino, or Harlequin character prior to Martinelli's time in Paris.

Arlecchino first clearly appears in Martinelli's 1601 publication Compositions de Rhetorique, yet Tristano Martinelli would follow his name in 1590s signatures with "'detto Arlechino comico,' or 'alias Arlechino'."

For the carnival of 1584, he picked a name taken from  French folklore, the devil Herlequin, for his performance to a Parisian audience. His character wore  a linen costume of colourful patches, and a hare-tail on his cap to indicate cowardice, a black leather half-mask, a moustache and a pointed beard. It is also plausible that Martinelli used a tail or plume to imitate the style of the Bergamask people native to the region where Arlecchino is typically depicted as being from.

He chose the name Harlequin (Arlequin) after the name of the popular French devil character it resembled. The name Herlequin likely came from Helle-kin, an Old French derivative of the Germanic Erlkönig (Elf-King), or from Schar der Hölle (Host of Hell), which became Höllen-Kind (Child of Hell).

Martinelli became attached to the Mantuan court of Duke Ferdinando I Gonzaga, with a regular stipend, about 1596–97. Within a few years he was overseeing all the professional acting troupes in the Gonzaga territories. Martinelli, in service of the Duke, acted as both police and a tax collector for the actors and other street performers and merchants. A decree from the Duke mandated that Arlecchino and Martinelli were superior to all other performers and street vendors, and that all were required to have a license from Tristano in order to perform, lest they be heavily fined. It was also declared that Arlecchino would act as a supervisor for public events as the Duke's personal representative.

Martinelli's personality and the appeal of his character created tension with other players, particularly the Andreini, who felt that he was usurping the Innamorati's traditional position at the top of the hierarchy. Virginia Ramponi, a renowned actress in her own right, wrote to a Cardinal in 1611 to demand that Martinelli not be granted a license to create his own theatrical company, as she believed it would be purely self-serving.

He was the most famous harlequin of his generation, pressed to divide his time between Mantua and the court of France. Martinelli played Arlecchino for several famous companies, including La Compagnia Dei Desiosi, La Compagnia Degli Accesi, and I Confidenti. He is documented as having toured in Italy, France, Spain, Austria, and Bohemia.  He and his brother, Drusiano are first recorded in Spain as early as 1587, along with Drusiano's wife. They joined with a troupe called I Accesi by 1599 and played for Henri IV in 1601, then returned to Mantua. On their way to Paris, I Accesi were held in Turin for quite a while, as the Savoyard Duke was so enamored with their performance. Marie de' Medici urged him to return to Paris in 1611; after some careful advance publicity he arrived in Paris and played for the court from August 1613 to July 1614. The Italian players were immensely popular in Paris, with Tristano writing that, "The comedy was most successful, contrary to all expectation; but they are wild about comedies here so everything seems good." Louis XIII was willing to hold the child at the christening of one of Martinelli's children in 1614. They returned to Italy in 1614, where Martinelli remained until 1620.

Martinelli returned in 1621 to play for the court of Louis XIII and remained in Paris through 1624, going so far as to accompany the King to Fontainebleau and back. His company is recorded to have had 10-11 members in 1621. I Fideli, likely the last company Martinelli worked with, lasted into the 1640s included among its ranks Francesco Andreini's first wife, Virginia Ramponi. Martinelli is known to have addressed himself later in life as Dominus Arlequinorum (Greatest of the Harlequins).

Martinelli commissioned numerous dramatic portraits of himself, three of which he sent to France when wishing to return to that country in 1626. One may have been Portrait of an Actor by Domenico Fetti, since Cardinal Mazarin had the painting in his collection.

Gelephu (; Wylie: dge-legs-phu), also spelled as Gelyephug, Gelegphu, Gaylegphug or Gaylephug,  is a town or Thromde in Sarpang District in Bhutan. It is located on the Indian border, about 30 km to the east of Sarpang, the Dzongkhag (District) headquarters,  and has a population of 9,858 as per the 2017 census. It is one of the road entry points into Bhutan from India: Phuntsholing to its west and Samdrup Jongkhar to its east are two other road entry points into Bhutan.

History
History of Gelephu dates back to 1960s when primitive settlement was shifted from the banks of Maw Chhu to the present area, which used to be known as Hati Sahar (Elephant infested place).

On 5 September 2004, armed insurgents bombed a marketplace in the town, killing two people and injuring twenty-seven others.

Planning area
Gelephu Thromde has 11.52 km2 planning boundary area which can be increased further. It has 6 sub zones (Demkhong) listed as 1. Trashiling, 2. Namkhaling, 3. Jampeling, 4. Rabtengling, 5. Samdrupling, 6. Sonam Gatsel. Core market area is very close to the Indo-Bhutan border. Ashish Kumar Chauhan is also one of the Urban Planner while delineating the boundaries of Industrial Area Plan and  Local Area Plan 4 & 5.
Gelephu is located at about 30 km to the east of Sarpang, the Dzongkhag Headquarters. Though, Sarpang is the administrative centre for the Dzongkhag, Gelephu, due to various factors, has prospered and developed as a market town serving the hinterland.

The Sarpang-Gelephu Zone offers unique opportunities for Bhutan, as well as for the citizens within the services catchment area. The geographical setting of the town with relatively flat terrain, close proximity and well established connectivity with India, and its location as a nodal connection for the central parts of Bhutan, makes the place one of the preferred locations for future development.

The structure plan for Gelephu lays down the precinct plan, road network, open space system and amenities system. It reviews the existing scenario of Gelephu and the potentials and constraints from which future possibilities emerge. It explains the proposals for action from which the Structure Plan of Gelephu will be composed. These are then illustrated through maps and diagrams. It also includes implementation and management strategies, investment plan and development control regulations for coherent growth of the town. The Development Control Regulations have been included as a part of the Structure Plan to support the proposals of the plan through the introduction of regulations and procedures. The jurisdiction of these regulations includes the area under the Gelephu Thromde, including Urban Control Zone. Gelephu is envisioned as a Growth Center for south-central Bhutan serving a series of smaller settlements, or Service Centers, like Sarpang, Damphu, Zhemgang etc.

The Structure Plan envisions an impressive entrance or a ‘Gate way’ into Gelephu through a portal from India. It is proposed to be a multi-modal terminal heading Trongsa in North, Sarpang and Damphu to West, and proposed Sipsoo-Daipham National Highway towards East.
The proposed Sarpang – Gelephu development corridor will serve as the backbone for a Special Economic Zone. It proposes the establishment of Dry Port and a Free Trade Zone as a part of the Special Economic Zone.

Another theme of the Gelephu Plan is to develop inter-linked open-green spaces for use as recreation, sports, walking, cycling, exercising and play gardens that can provide an excellent opportunity to promote planned growth of Gelephu unlike many other settlements.

Urban recreational park
One of the main themes of Gelephu urban development is to interlink open-green spaces for use as recreation, sports, walking, cycling, exercising and play gardens. Open space systems have become an integral part of town planning as a result of the intense demand for outdoor recreation and a growing concern for conservation. Open spaces have a crucial role in the urban life, since they act as breathing spaces in the dense urban fabric, or a place of recreation and retreat for the urban population.
Location: Samdrupling Demkhong adjacent to Royal Boulevard Road (NH-4)
Area: 60 Acres
Existing Plantation: Teak
Proposed Plantation: Evergreen trees with existing teak
Proposed Activity: Recreational Park

Proposed Park

The vegetation for Gelephu region could be classified as tropical forest with some broadleaf evergreen vegetation. Having the intense rainfall, the region is dominated by hard wood trees and cash crops like areca nut (Domashing). The thick teak vegetation along the Gelephu-Trongsa Highway located near Sheittikhare Chhu provides a prime scope for conservation and economic generation if developed through an integrated approach.

Trade and commerce

Location of Gelephu is quite favorable for cross-border trade between India and Bhutan. Indo-Bhutan Royal entrance gate is opening a vast opportunity for the business and development between the two countries. From that Indo-Bhutan border gate Bongaigaon, the sixth largest city of Assam, emerging as business node for the economics affairs i.e. business dealing & logistic supports is 78 km away.

Airport
(for a complete entry, see Gelephu Airport)
An Airport in Gelephu was initially planned in the early 2000s.  The plan faced major obstacles in construction, including a lack of willing contractors to bid on the project. Work finally began in July 2011, with a completion date set for the end of April 2012. Gelephu's runway was inaugurated by Prime Minister Jigme Thinley () on 25 October 2012 but has yet to become certified for operation. There are currently no buildings at the airport and it is accessed by a gravel road.

Army Welfare Project (AWP)
Bhutan's modern liquor industry was established in 1976 with the AWP as the only distillery manufacturing high quality potable liquor in Bhutan. AWP is a company incorporated under the Companies Act of the Kingdom of Bhutan mainly in the business of bottling a range of alcoholic beverages such as whisky, rum, gin, and many more drinks.
The AWP is constantly growing its portfolio of brands from blended whiskies to brandy and white spirits to cater the needs of a wide variety of customers particularly in the huge Indian market and to expand its market base internationally. AWP has its Head Office in Phuentsholing, Bhutan.

The AWP has strong presence with more than 18 well-established brands in the liquor market. The main strengths of AWP today lies in its in-house technical expertise (blend development) and good quality natural spring water which is a key input in the production of liquor products. AWP's commitment to environment protection, Bhutan's green credentials and its ambience for maturing high quality spirits are some of the strengths for developing premium brands in the region and achieve organic growth in this category. Presently AWP Gelephu has around 18.44 acre area which include the water treatment plant and manufacturing unit and a guest house. Building AWP brand portfolio in emerging markets and divesting in non-alcoholic products are key strategic objectives.

Services
Construction Development Corporation Limited is a Public Sector Company with 100% shares owned by the Royal Government of Bhutan. After the merger of Gelephu workshop to Hesothangkha in 1996-1997 and till recently, maintenance of its huge workshop structure and compound was neglected and it did not receive that much importance and priority to maintaining operation in the south. The facilities and workshop structure/buildings are currently in a dilapidated condition except for the Lungta Auto Center, which provides comprehensive auto services. After the revival, initiatives have been taken up to repair and rehabilitate the workshop buildings/facilities gradually in a phased manner to curtail loss and avoid the need for a huge investment. It caters to 3 Field Division i.e. Sarpang, Phuentsholing and Zhemgang Field Division. Jurisdiction wise, it covers the far-flung central region of Panbang, Dagana and Zhemgang. Two field workshops located at Sarpang and Mangdechu provide field support services.

Hotels
Hotel Khamsang, Hotel Tshenden, Tropical, Chorten and Kuky are the few hotels cum bar in Gelephu. Apart from these there are many Indian hotels like Hotel Ashoka, Prasad & Laxhmi.

Melchior Berri (born 20 October 1801 in Basel, died 12 May 1854 in Basel) was a well-known Swiss architect.

He was the son of Melchior Berri (parish priest in Münchenstein) and Appollonia Streckeisen. In 1832 he married Margaretha Simone Burckhardt of Basel.

Biography

Early life
Berri grew up as the son of a pastor in Basel and Münchenstein. In his youth he wanted to become a Military engineer for Napoleon. His father had thought for him a career as a stonemason but after the advice of a relative, his family supported his education as an architect. Between 1817 and 1819 he studied in Karlsruhe with Johann Jakob Arnold the nephew of the famous architect Friedrich Weinbrenner. From 1819, he was able to study with Weinbrenner. Afterwards he studied with the architect Jean-Nicolas Huyot in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts between 1823 and 1825. In August 1825, he won a competition which allowed him to continue his studies at the Académie des Beaux-Arts. During his studies in Paris he rented a room. He sometimes visited the cemetery Père Lachaise where he made sketches of the monuments and also attended the coronoation of Charles X.

In 1826, he travelled to Italy, where he took an interest, both in Pompeii's buildings and frescos, and in the Renaissance palaces of Rome. In doing so, he developed the technical skills of a stonemason, plasterer, and bricklayer. He also practised drawing landscapes and figures, and studied subjects of technical construction.

Career
In 1828, Melchior Berri opened a construction business and a school of construction and drawing in Basel. His impact outside of the Basel region is mostly due to the construction of the Basel Museum, his only remaining monumental building, but is also due to his designs for city halls in Zurich and in Bern, as well as his plans for housing development for Luzern and Basel.

Berri was also a member of Basel-Stadt's  Grand Council and its construction commission, and in 1841, he became president of the Verein Schweizerischer Ingenieure und Architekten (SIA; Association of Swiss Engineers and Architects). He obtained international fame as a neo-classical architect and became honorary doctor of two British architectural associations.

Between the stress he was under as both a builder and an artist, but possibly also due to the constraints of his provincial circumstances, Berri became depressed and killed himself in 1854.

Panbang is a settlement in the south of Bhutan. It is located in Zhemgang District, close to the border with India.

Panbang is a small town in Bhutan under Zhemgang Dzongkhag (District). It is located 13 kilometers from the Indian border. There is no road that connects Panbang to other parts of Bhutan except the rough road that leads to Royal Manas National Park. In order to travel to bordering places like Gelephu, Phuentsholing, Samdrup Jongkhar and Nganglam they have to use the road via India where people often get stranded on the way due to unexpected strike, thus, posing risk to the travelers. However, with the ongoing construction of Gomphu-Panbang High Way, people of Panbang are expecting to have better and safer transportation.
Panbang serves as a main shopping area to the people of four gewogs (blocks) under Panbang Dungkhag (Sub-divisional Officer).
Nowadays Panbang is equipped with the modern amenities. With the increasing number of school dropped outs, Panbang is seeing young and hardworking entrepreneurs coming out with various ideas like organic farming, rafting company, chicken farming, piggery, fishery etc.
First school was established in 1979 as Primary school and now upgraded to Lower Secondary school. In the year 2009 Middle Secondary was established in Thinleygang (about 3 kilometers from Panbang).
Panbang has quite a good health facilities (1 BHU Grade I hospital) and only in the year 2009, mobile service became functional in the area though people were using telephone facilities.
Winter is the best time to visit Panbang, during which it becomes very busy due to the orange auction season.

For Political election 2013, Candidates from Panbang are from various professionals. Former Labour and Human Minister, Dorji Wangdi is representing Druk Phuentsum Tshogpa. Senior Teacher of Zhemgang High School, Rinchen Tshering is representing Druk Nyamrup Tshopa. And aspiring candidate for Druk Mangsui Tshopa is Sangay Dorji, the former candidate who contested the last NA election in 2008. Panbang has also youngest candidates known for his strength and represent youth from the Druk Chirwang Tshogpa, Tenzin Jamtsho- fresh graduate.

In the recent primary round of election DPT's Dorji Wangdi secured 1580 votes. PDP Sangay Dorji secured 839 votes, followed by Rinchen Tshering securing 605 votes, the candidate of DNT. DCT secured 136 votes.

Calocephalus aervoides is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Western Australia. Its common name is woolly beauty-heads.

This species is a herb growing up to 15 centimetres tall. It produces yellow flowers in September and October. It grows on plains with loam and sandy soils over limestone substrates.

The species was first formally described by the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller as Pachysurus aervoides in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae in 1863.

is an 11-act bunraku puppet play composed in 1748. It is one of the most popular Japanese plays, ranked with Zeami's Matsukaze, although the vivid action of Chūshingura differs dramatically from Matsukaze.

Medium
During this portion of the Edo period, the major dramatists preferred not to write for the kabuki theater since the kabuki actors frequently departed from the texts to invent parts and aggrandize their own roles; however, Chūshingura was so successful that it was almost immediately adapted for the kabuki theater as well.

The general story has been depicted in many mediums such as ukiyo-e prints.

Kabuki
The kabuki adaptation appeared shortly after the puppet play did in Osaka and Kyoto, and soon was being performed by three companies in Edo. It is "only intermittently faithful" and frequently cuts entire acts. The saved time is available for a lengthier 11th act, with a sequence featuring a duel on a bridge; as well, the kabuki theater could use a revolving stage to switch between scenes of the siege in Act 9. The short sequence with the highwayman Sadakurō has been developed into an elaborate mime, rendering it a "coveted assignment" for ambitious actors.

History

Composition

On 20 March 1703, the 46 rōnin were ordered to commit seppuku by the shōgun. Two weeks later, a kabuki play opened in Edo. It was entitled Akebono Soga no Youchi ("Night attack at dawn by the Soga [Brothers]"; see Soga Monogatari), a standard topic of plays. It was shut down by the authorities, and is thought to have been a disguised version of the recent events. Perhaps because of the touchiness of authorities, kabuki companies did not attempt any further plays on the subject.

In 1706, the great playwright Chikamatsu wrote a three-act puppet play entitled Goban Taiheiki ("A chronicle of great peace played on a chessboard"), placing the action in the era of Taiheiki (the 14th century); the third act appeared in another puppet play, and was ostensibly about the historical samurai Kō no Moronao; Moronao was actually a cipher for the offending master of court etiquette, Kira Yoshinaka, who was nearly slain by Asano Naganori. The use of Moronao's name for Kira and many of the other renamings would be copied in the later Chūshingura.

Three years later in the Kyoto-Osaka region where censorship was reportedly lighter, Chūshingura premiered.

It was an instant success, and was quickly imitated countless times, with variants coming out annually between 1706 and 1748.

Authorship
Early materials listed the authors in order as:

 Takeda Izumo II
 Miyoshi Shōraku
 Namiki Senryū

Likely Izumo conceived the overall plot and write acts 1, 4, 6, & 9; Shōraku likely wrote 2, 10, and 11.

The fiction author Jippensha Ikku, in his analysis & anecdotal history Chūshingura Okame Hyōban (1803), implies that authorship was:

 Izumo: Act 9
 Shōraku: 2 & 10
 Senryū: 4

Keene suggests that Acts 6 & 7 be assigned to Izumo, and Act 3 to Senryū.

These identifications are tentative, and not based on stylometry or similar approaches.

The multiple authorship may be responsible for some of the shifts characters undergo during the 11 acts:

"Sagisaka Bannai, for example, is a comical character in the third act, but by the seventh act there is hardly a trace left of his comicality, and at the end of the play the triumph of the loyal retainers is climaxed by killing Bannai, as if he, rather than Moronao, were the chief villain.
Again, Kakogawa Honzō fawningly offers bribes to Moronao in the third act by no means appears the same man as the heroic Honzō of the ninth act...
The same holds true of Rikiya; the blushing young man of the second act is so unlike the resolute hero of the ninth act as to require two actors."

Translations
A Chinese translation appeared by 1794, and translations into English, French, and German by 1880 - making it 'probably the first work of Japanese literature to be translated' - and a play by John Masefield (The Faithful) appeared in 1915.

The Australian National University's Za Kabuki performed an English-language version of the play in 2001, directed by Mr. Shun Ikeda.

post-Edo period
After World War II, during the Occupation of Japan, performance of Chūshingura was banned "because it glorified militarism and was feudalistic in its insistence on such outmoded concepts as honor and loyalty"; later in 1960, members of the Japanese Diet criticized performances of Chūshingura overseas by traveling kabuki companies over similar fears that it would give foreigners misleading ideas

Plot
The chiefest theme of Chūshingura is the code of bushido & loyalty, as exemplified by its protagonist, the chief retainer of the dead lord, Yuranosuke. The retainers seek revenge for their lord even though they know no good will come of it, as Yuranosuke admits in Act 7:

"I realized when I thought about it calmly that if we failed in our mission our heads would roll, and if we succeeded we'd have to commit seppuku afterwards. either way, it was certain death. It was like taking expensive medicine, then hanging yourself afterwards because you couldn't pay for the cure."

Yuranosuke in this speech is cloaking his true intentions, as he must constantly through the play, rendering him a challenging role.

It has been argued that in reality, En'ya was undeserving of loyalty as he was arrogant & hot-tempered and Moronao was a good man who helped the peasants on his land - thus further emphasizing the unconditional nature of Yuranosuke and the other rōnin's loyalty.

Act 1

"The same holds true of a country at peace: the loyalty and courage of its fine soldiers remain hidden, but the stars, though invisible by day, at night reveal themselves, scattered over the firmament. Here we shall describe such an instance ..."–Narrator

The shōgun Ashikaga Takauji has put down the Genko uprising led by the nobleman Nitta Yoshisada, and has built a shrine to the kami of war Hachiman to commemorate his victory. Its chief trophy will be the helmet of the dead Yoshisada, but there is confusion as to which of the 47 helmets found by his body is really his.

The shōguns brother & deputy, Ashikaga Tadayoshi, convenes a conference to discuss the issue. Attending is the governor of Kamakura, Lord Moronao (Kira), Wakasanosuke, and Lord En'ya (Asano). Moronao objects to preserving the helmet, even though Yoshisada was a noble descendant of the Genji, a mistake would be embarrassing, and there were many loyal retainers descended from the Genji anyway. En'ya and Wakasanosuke support the helmet's preservation.

Tadayoshi summons En'ya's wife, for as a maiden in the imperial palace, she saw the helmet presented to Yoshisada. She verifies the correct choice. As the conference ends, Moronao, who has been tutoring En'ya's wife in classical waka poetry, presses upon her a love letter. She rejects it entirely, and Moronao is embittered with hatred for En'ya.

Act 2
En'ya sends his retainers a message that he and Moronao have been charged with the welcoming of Tadayoshi the next day. Wakasanosuke, aware of Moronao's rejection, tells his fellow retainer Honzō of his plan to assassinate Moronao before Moronao can attack or provoke their master En'ya. Honzō applauds the plan, suggests that Wakasanosuke take a nap first, and immediately departs to find Moronao first to bribe him.

Act 3
Honzō finds Moronao at Tadayoshi's palace, and delivers his handsome bribe in the guise of thanks for etiquette instruction. Moronao accepts it and invites Honzō to an audience.

After an interlude in which a minor retainer of En'ya, Kanpei, gives into temptation to leave his post with his lover, Wakasanosuke arrives. When Wakasanosuke encounters Moronao, Moronao's attitude is so welcoming and apologetic that Wakasanosuke confusedly abandons his murderous intentions - as Honzō planned.

Unfortunately, when En'ya arrives, he comes bearing a note from his wife to Moronao; it is a poem from the Shin Kokin Wakashū which indicates her definitive rejection of Moronao's love.

Angered, Moronao takes exception to En'ya's tardiness and begins mercilessly insulting & verbally abusing En'ya. Provoked beyond his limits, En'ya draws and slashes Moronao. He does not kill Moronao as he is held back by Honzō (who hopes to lessen En'ya's punishment).

Outside, Kanpei hears the commotion and rushes to the back gate, only to realize his failure as a samurai: he dallied and was not there when his master needed him.

Act 4
En'ya is placed under house arrest. The retainers and women discuss his fate, and En'ya's wife, Kaoyo, reveals Moronao's motives.

The shōguns envoys arrive with En'ya's sentence: seppuku, confiscation of En'ya's estate, and the reduction of his men to rōnin.

En'ya's chief retainer, Yuranosuke, rushes in just as En'ya is pulling the dagger across his stomach; En'ya charges him with seeking vengeance. Yuranosuke orders the men to not commit seppuku nor barricade the mansion and die fighting the shogunate, but likewise to seek vengeance.

Act 5

Kanpei, long after the expulsion, has become a hunter. One rainy day, he meets on the highway a fellow rōnin. The conversation reveals that Yuranosuke and the others did not immediately assault Moronao's extremely well guarded mansion, but dispersed peacefully, and that Yuranosuke & his son have fallen into decadent seeking of pleasure. Kanpei mentions rumors he has heard that 40 or so of the rōnin are conspiring to kill Moronao. The other rōnin categorically denies this: the meetings and solicitations are for the charitable purpose of raising funds for a fitting memorial for En'ya's grave. Kanpei resolves to acquire money to donate towards the memorial.

Later, an old man comes along the road with the large sum of 50 ryō in his wallet, earned by selling his daughter – Kanpei's wife – to a brothel. He is accosted and then killed by Sadakurō the highwayman.

No sooner has Sadakurō hidden the body and counted the money than he is accidentally shot by Kanpei, hunting a boar. Kanpei does not see clearly the body in the dark, but takes the money as a gift from heaven and hurries home with his donation to find the other rōnin.

Act 6
At Kanpei's home, his wife and mother-in-law await the return of the old man; their money will enable Kanpei to become a samurai again. But he has yet to return when the pimp comes to claim Kanpei's wife. While the pimp argues with them and describes his transaction with the old man, Kanpei arrives with the tell-tale wallet. He is accused of murdering his father-in-law, and because it was dark, even Kanpei believes it.

While Kanpei gives his account of events, he commits seppuku. His fellow rōnin arrive, and tell how they inspected the body of the old man more carefully - he had died of a sword, not a gun. But it is too late for Kanpei. Impressed by his dying sincerity, they accept the donation and allow Kanpei to sign in blood the written oath of vengeance to become the 46th member.

Act 7
"It's quite true that I felt a certain amount of indignation - about as big as a flea's head split by a hatchet – and tried forming a league of 40 or 50 men, but what a crazy notion that was! ... Oh, when I hear the samisens playing like that, I just can't resist."—Yuranosuke

Kudayū, now a spy for Moronao, arrives at a teahouse in the pleasure quarter of Gion – Yuranosuke's favorite haunt (in reality Ichiriki Chaya, which changed its name to the disguised name in this play). He intends to learn whether Yuranosuke is indeed dissipated.

3 rōnin are also there on a similar mission: when Yuranosuke disavows revenge, they plan to kill him as a warning to the others not to waver. But they decide to let him sober up first.

While waiting, Yuranosuke receives a letter from Kaoyo to the effect that Moronao is leaving for the provinces and they will need to strike soon.

Just then, Kudayū interrupts and accuses Yuranosuke of being wanton as a deceptive stratagem. But seeing Yuranosuke casually break a taboo and eat octopus on the anniversary of En'ya's death, and looking at how rusty his sword is, Kudayū is almost convinced – but he hides under the veranda to spy on the letter, to make sure. He is shortly stabbed to death by Yuranosuke.

Act 8
An act in the michiyuki style, a standard short act written poetically, describing the gloomy thought of Konami, daughter of Honzō and fiance of Rikiya, as she travels with her mother to Rikiya and Yuranosuke's house. They hope the marriage will be carried out, though all presume it was broken off when Rikiya and Yuranosuke became rōnin.

Act 9

Konami arrives at Yuranosuke's house, and her mother asks Yuranosuke's wife to permit the marriage's consummation. She is rebuffed because of Honzō's bribery of Moronao and restraining En'ya from killing him. The mother and daughter resolve to commit seppuku, impressing Yuranosuke's wife, who consents if Honzō's head is brought to her as a wedding gift. Honzō unexpectedly appears, insults Yuranosuke and Rikiya as debauchees, provoking Yuranosuke's wife to attack him with a lance. Honzō disarms and pins her, when Rikiya enters and stabs Honzō with the discarded lance – just as Honzō planned.

Honzō provides the ground plans for Moronao's mansion and expires, having atoned for his prudence.

Act 10
The merchant Gihei of the port of Sakai is loading onto a ship his highly illegal cargo: more than 40 sets of samurai armor and weapons. 2 rōnin visit to inquire about the preparations. Later, he is surrounded by dozens of police who threaten to kill his son if he doesn't confess. The merchant scorns them and makes to strangle his son. Yuranosuke bursts out: it was a test, and the rōnin are impressed. They will use his shop name as a password. (Of course, since he was born a merchant, he cannot join the raid no matter how much he sacrifices.)

Act 11
The 46 rōnin (the dead Kanpei making 47) stage an amphibious assault with rowboats. A party scales the walls, captures the nightwatchman, and open the front & back gates. A fierce battle ensues. The neighboring mansions attempt to interfere, but when the rōnin's mission is explained, they applaud and return home. Moronao is soon captured and hacked to death by all the men, Yuranosuke striking first. They offer up his head with incense to En'ya's memorial tablets and withdraw to En'ya's family temple to await their fates.

Hertfordshire Intensive Care & Emergency Simulation Centre (HICESC) is an advanced teaching facility based at the University of Hertfordshire. At its creation in 1998, it was an inter-Faculty practical laboratory hosted by the Department of Electronic, Communication and Electrical Engineering (ECEE) for access by medical engineering students and jointly established by the Department of Nursing and Paramedic Sciences, Faculty of Health and Human Sciences for use by their students.

The development of this centre has heavily been influenced by a project grant received from the British Heart Foundation, which effectively started in 2000 with the appointment of a "BHF project co-ordinator" and finished in 2003. The project conducted was to investigate the effectiveness of scenario-based simulation training with undergraduate nursing students  using Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE).

Second developmental phase
In 2004, due to some programme restructuration with the Department of ECEE, the centre was relocated within another part of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences, which used to be a Department of Computer Science laboratory, with shared access to an adjacent room which could be used as a remote observation room. From that point on, HICESC became a central Faculty of Health & Human Sciences resource without formal link to ECEE. The new setup made the centre more appropriate for high-fidelity scenario-based simulation training and enabled collaboration with the local NHS Trusts for the training of their Foundation Doctors, then called Pre-registration House Officers.

Third developmental phase
End of 2006, HICESC became the centre piece of a new 4-storey building project on the College Lane campus to create the largest UK high-fidelity simulation centre, and one of the largest in Europe. The ground floor of the new Health Research Building now provides a world leading multiprofessional simulation teaching environment. Students who access the facilities for uniprofessional as well as multiprofessional scenario-based simulation training are from a range of disciplines such as various specialties of nursing, midwifery, paramedic sciences, pharmacy, pharmacology, physiotherapy, radiography, and clinical psychology. To that effect the centre has benefitted from several educational research grants such as from the Higher Education Academy Health Sciences and Practice Subject Centre. Other key professional groups include Foundation Doctors from diverse local NHS Trusts, Physician Assistants, Critical Care Practitioners, Emergency Care Practitioners, and Anaesthesia Practitioners.

The new HICESC consists of:
 Adult and Paediatric ITU/Ward Simulation area
 Simulated community / hospital pharmacy with an automated dispensing robot, and counselling cubicle
 Screen-based/Clinical skills lab with patient assessment area as found in a GP surgery
 3 Observation / seminar rooms
 2 control rooms
 State-of-the-art adult and paediatric manikins from Laerdal Medical
 State-of-the-art audio visual equipment by Scotia UK Ltd
 Conference facilities
as can be seen on the following floorplan:

Most recent developments

Since its relocation in the purpose built facilities, HICESC has hosted two simulation conferences. The Joint Meeting of the National Association of Medical Simulators (NAMS) and the Clinical Skills Network (CSN) in September 2007  and in June 2008, the 14th Annual Meeting of the Society in Europe for Simulation Applied to Medicine (SESAM).

In September 2009, HICESC merged with the University of Hertfordshire's Postgraduate Medical School, while still keeping its Faculty wide remit to facilitate simulation-based learning to all healthcare students.

ERMES (European Radio Messaging System or Enhanced Radio Messaging System) was a pan-European radio paging system.

Technical specification
In 1990, the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) developed the European Telecommunications Standard ETS 300 133 for ERMES operating in the frequency band 169.4125-169.8125 MHz.

Transmission parameters
 ERMES transmits the data at 6250 bit/s.
 ERMES uses Frequency Shift Keying (4-FSK) modulation.

Transmission parameters, pager interrogation
 Each paging transmission is divided into 60 cycles of 1 minute in length.
 Each cycle is divided into 5 subsequences of 12 seconds.
 Each subsequence is further divided into 16 batches, labeled A through P.

Pager interrogation
 The pager population is divided into 16 groups.
 Each pager group is allocated to one of the 16 transmission batches [A...P].
 The pager needs only to be active during the period it has been allocated to, allowing it to go into sleep mode 15/16 (~=93%) of the time (a ~7% duty cycle). This scheduling allocation protocol extends the battery life of the pager by several orders of magnitude.

Aims and development
During the 1990s, ERMES aimed to achieve a standardised digital platform throughout Europe. It was intended that paging systems based on the ERMES standard would be able to receive text messages transmitted from personal computers, enabling companies to contact their employees over the PSTN. Also, GSM handsets would receive ERMES messages on their displays.

ERMES was most widely used in France, where around one million ERMES pagers were in use in 1998. Also in 1998, an ERMES MoU organisation was set up, to lobby for its adoption as the European standard.

Failure
ERMES never achieved recognition as a leading paging standard. There were questions over costs and also the ERMES standard was in competition with the US-based FLEX standard, a rivalry seen at the time as damaging to the development of the paging industry in Europe. Ultimately paging technology was largely superseded by SMS text messaging.

In 1999, it was decided that the 169.4-169.8 MHz frequency band would no longer be reserved for the sole use of ERMES and this frequency band was later reassigned to different use.

Merak () is a settlement and the headquarters of an eponymous gewog in the far east of Bhutan. Merak is part of the Mera-Sakteng subdistrict (dungkhag) in the Trashigang District. The people are widely known as Brokpa, meaning 'highlander'. The main activities of these highlanders are raising of the domestic animals. Until 2012, Merak could only be reached by a two-day hike. In 2012 a new road was constructed that shortened the hike to one day. According to local legend, the surrounding valley is inhabited by Yeti.

Emilio Bozzi was an Italian businessman, known for his bicycle manufacturing company. He established the Emilio Bozzi & Co. bicycle manufacturer in Milan (1908), the first model being the "Aurora".
Also, he had the rights to the Turinese Frejus bicycle brand.  With the son of Franco Tosi, who had some patents from the English Wolsit brand, his company made the Ciclomotore Wolsit (1910–14), the rights to which was sold to NSU Motorenwerke AG (1932).

They renamed the company Legnano (the name of Bozzi's hometown) using a swordlifting legendary warrior (Alberto da Giussano) symbol painted by the cyclist Alfredo Binda, based on the Battle of Legnano.  Along with Frejus they had immediate racing success with cyclists as Eberardo Pavesi (being the manager), Alfredo Binda (1922), Gino Bartali (1936), Fausto Coppi (1939), Ferdinand Kübler (1950)  and Ercole Baldini (1956) in the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and other races until 1965.
The company also made mopeds (1954–68), while the bicycle business was acquired by the main rival Bianchi.

Godfrey of St. Victor (Geoffroy, Godefridus, Galfredus c. 1125 – c. 1195) was a French monk and theologian, and one of the last major figures of the Victorines. He was a supporter of the study of ancient philosophy and of the Victorine mysticism of Hugh of St. Victor and Richard of St. Victor.

He is also known under the alternative bynames of Breteuil and of Saint Barbara.

He is the author of two important works, Microcosmus and Fons Philosophiae, both written in the 1170s.
Microcosmus is extant in an autograph (BM ms. 1002, dated c. 1178–1180), including two self-portraits.
Parts of Godfrey's work  are edited in Patrologia Latina, as Godefridus S. Victoris (notitia et fragmenta, in vol. 196, as Gaufridus aput sanctam Barbaram in Neustria subprior canonicorum regularium (epistolae in vol. 205).

Life
He had initially studied and taught the trivium at the University of Paris between the years 1144 and 1155 at the school on the Petit Pont founded by Adam of Balsham.  Like his friend Stephen of Tournai, to whom he dedicated Fons philosophiae, he may have studied law at Bologna.
He was prior at Saint-Barbe-en-Auge, and later entered St. Victor's Abbey, Paris, an Augustinian establishment of canons regular. A product of the secular schools, Godfrey is thought to have entered St Victor after becoming dissatisfied with Parisian intellectual culture.
Godfrey was assigned to a priory at some point after 1173 – it is thought that his humanistic outlook may have displeased Walter of St Victor who had succeeded Richard of St Victor as prior.
He returned to the Abbey in 1185-6, and served there as armarius, in which capacity he was responsible for the production and preservation of the abbey’s manuscripts, particularly those used in the liturgy. He remained there until his own death around 1194/6.

Works

The poem Fons Philosophiae (Fountain of Philosophy).
Microcosmus ()
Preconium Augustini

Thirty-two sermons also survive. Most are unpublished, but the published sermons include:
Sermo in generali capitulo (Sermon at a General Chapter)
Sermo de omnibus sanctis (Sermon for All Saints)
Sermo de omnibus sanctis et specialiter de Sancto Victore (Sermon for All Saints and St Victor)
Anathomia Corporis Christi
De Spirituale corpore Christi

Microcosmus
The central theme of Microcosmus recalls the insight of classical philosophy and of the early Church Fathers, viz., that man is a microcosm, containing in himself the material and spiritual elements of reality. Microcosmus offers one of the first attempts by a medieval Scholastic philosopher to systematize history and knowledge into a comprehensive, rational structure. Godfrey used the symbolism of a biblical framework to treat the physical, psychological, and ethical aspects of man. He affirmed man's matter-spirit unity and the basic goodness of his nature, tempering this optimism with the realization that human nature has been weakened ("fractured") by sin, but not to an intrinsically corrupted and irreparable extent. In the Microcosmus Godfrey compared sensuality, imagination, reason and intelligence to the respective four classical elements, earth, water, air and fire.
Godfrey admits four principal capabilities in man: sensation, imagination, reason, and intelligence. Man's analytic reason and power of insight have the theoretical science of philosophy for their natural fulfillment. But a supernatural fulfillment, he maintains, consists in love. To this end divine intervention is needed to confer on man the perfective graces, or gifts, of enlightenment, affectivity, and perseverance.

Fons philosophiæ
In his other notable work, the Fons philosophiae (c. 1176; "The Fount of Philosophy"), Godfrey, in rhymed verse, proposed a classification of learning and considered the controversy between realists and nominalists (who held that ideas were only names, not real things) over the problem of universal concepts. Fons philosophiae is an allegorical account of the sources of Godfrey's intellectual formation (e.g., Plato, Aristotle, and Boethius), symbolized as a flowing stream from which he drew water as a student.

Another treatise, "Anatomy of the Body of Christ," appended to Fons Philosophiae, is a leading example of medieval Christian symbolism. A long poem ascribing to each member and organ of Christ's body some aspect of man's natural and supernatural purpose, it assembled texts from the early Church Fathers and helped form medieval devotion to the humanity of Christ. Godfrey's writings have won appreciation as a prime example of 12th-century humanism only through relatively recent scholarship, although their fundamental concepts of the positive values of man and nature were recognized to a limited extent by the high Scholasticism of the 13th century.

The Fons Philosophiae was a didactic poem presented to Abbot Stephen of St. Genevieve on the occasion of his appointment to the position at some point following 1173. It was originally one of three treatises, forming a unified corpus when combined with the  Anathomia Corporis Christi  and the De Spirituale corpore Christi. All three were presented by Godfrey to the Abbot as a matching set of spiritual works. The poem describes an exploration of the seven liberal arts as an allegorical journey through a system of rivers, in which draughts from different streams render different meanings.
The Preconium Augustini is a poem on Augustine of Hippo of about 500 lines.

The 21st BRDC International Trophy was a non-championship Formula One race held at Silverstone on 30 March 1969. The race was run over 52 laps of the circuit and was won by Jack Brabham in a Brabham BT26A.

Race report
Jackie Stewart qualified the Matra MS80 on pole, but opted to drive the previous season's MS10 and so started from the back of the grid. Jack Brabham led from start to finish, but suffered from fuel starvation in the closing stages and finished only seconds ahead of Jochen Rindt, who had suffered from water in the ignition system at the start and dropped back to tenth place, subsequently setting fastest lap in his Lotus 49B as he worked his way through the field. Jackie Stewart finished third, narrowly ahead of Jacky Ickx.

The Australian Uranium Association was an Australian industry trade group which represented companies involved in uranium exploration, mining and export. It operated from September 2006 until 2013, after which its responsibilities were absorbed by the Minerals Council of Australia.

History
From 2006 to 2013 the Australian Uranium Association acted as a national advocate for uranium mining and export and commissioned research and polling on uranium mining issues. Its predecessor, the Uranium Information Centre, was replaced by the Association in the same year of the AUA's foundation. The chairman of the Association was Rob Atkinson, Chief Executive Officer of mining company Energy Resources of Australia (ERA) and its chief executive was Michael Angwin. Responsibility for the uranium portfolio within the Minerals Council of Australia was passed to Daniel Zavattiero, a former senior executive with BHP Billiton's uranium business.

Membership
The Association had two full members (the mining companies BHP Billiton and ERA), and 29 participating and associate members. Associates comprised all of Australia's uranium mining and export firms plus a number of explorers and project developers working to take the next set of uranium mines into production.

Nuclear industrial advocacy
The Association supported increased exports of Australian uranium for power generation purposes, arguing that nuclear power produces virtually no greenhouse gas emissions, is a cheap alternative to coal and oil-based energy production and that if Australia becomes a major player in uranium exports it would be in a position to ensure adherence to international nuclear safety standards and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The Association maintained that Australia has sufficient uranium to cater for one third of worldwide demand, and viewed restrictions on new mines as an issue affecting the nation's international competitiveness.

Enterprise IT management (EITM) is a strategy which details how organizations can transform the management of IT to maximize business value.
As a strategy for increasing the business relevance of the IT function, EITM considers the need for IT organizations to start operating as a service-based business. That is, ensuring investments are prioritized according to business strategy and that operational efficiencies can be more quickly realized and costs reduced when IT processes are integrated and automated.

Enterprise IT management was developed in response to a growing need by IT organizations to gain more value from investments made in IT capabilities, infrastructure and resources. With the vast majority of the IT budget allocated to operational overheads and IT organized along technical functions, EITM proposes a set of capabilities that enable IT to better govern, manage and secure the IT services delivered to the business. It is closely associated with Lean IT, whose focus is elimination of waste i.e. anything that does not contribute value to the customer. In this way, application of EITM tools and strategies supports chief information officers (CIOs) and chief technology officers (CTOs) in driving IT from the confines of a back-office support function to a central role in delivering customer value.

EITM architecture and components

The centerpiece of the EITM architecture is a unified service model delivered through a configuration management database (CMDB) that is integrated with other IT management tools. The unified service model provides a comprehensive view or blueprint into the IT services delivered to the business. As such, it incorporates information that defines the characteristics of that service, including asset and relationship details, but also service levels, prices, costs, quality, risks and exposures. EITM promotes that only with critical insights into IT services can IT organizations truly optimize capabilities across three key areas:

IT governance – providing comprehensive service cost, quality and risk information so that the IT investment portfolio is balanced according to business strategy.

Business service management – relating detailed IT infrastructure configurations and performance metrics to business services so that operational activities are prioritized according to business impact and continuity is maintained.

Security management – associating identities and security access rights to IT services in order to mitigate business risk and meet compliance and auditing requirements.

The Role of Infrastructure Management

1.Revenue Maximization

An optimized infrastructure would strive to improve your business revenue because it streamlines technology and eliminates silos which ultimately improves work efficiency. Migrating on-premises to the cloud reaps huge benefits such as streamlined processes, superior data management, and interoperability. Even in the case of small-scale businesses, it paves the way for cost reduction and quality services, which also means enhancing and attracting more clients in the long run of the business.
