Michael John Sheridan (March 4, 1945 – September 27, 2022) was an American prelate of the Catholic Church who served as bishop of the Diocese of Colorado Springs in Colorado from 2003 to 2021. He previously served as an auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Saint Louis in Missouri from 1997 to 2003.

Biography

Early life
Michael Sheridan was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to John and Bernice (née Moore) Sheridan. In 1951, he started attending Corpus Christi Catholic School in Jennings, Missouri. He then went to St. Louis University High School in St. Louis in 1959, graduating in 1963.

Sheridan attended Rockhurst College in Kansas City, Missouri, for one year before entering Cardinal Glennon College Seminary in Shrewsbury, Missouri. He graduated in 1967 from Cardinal Glennon with a Bachelor of Philosophy degree. Sheridan then entered Kenrick Seminary in St. Louis.

Priesthood
On May 29, 1971, Sheridan was ordained to the priesthood by then Archbishop John Carberry for the Archdiocese of St. Louis. After his ordination, Sheridan performed pastoral work at parishes in the archdiocese. He also taught on the theological faculty of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary. In 1973, Sheridan was awarded a Master of Historical Theology degree from Saint Louis University.

In 1974, Sheridan went to Rome to attend Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum, earning a Doctor of Theology degree. He returned to Rome to receive a Doctor of Sacred Theology degree in 1980 with a dissertation entitled The Theology of the Local Church in Vatican II.

In 1988, Sheridan was appointed pastor of Christ the King Parish in University City, Missouri. In 1993, he became pastor of Immacolata Parish in Richmond Heights, Missouri.

Auxiliary Bishop of St. Louis
On July 8, 1997, Pope John Paul II appointed Sheridan as an auxiliary bishop of  the Archdiocese of St. Louis and titular bishop of Thibiuca. He received his episcopal consecration on September 3, 1997, from then-Archbishop Justin Rigali, with Bishops Edward O'Donnell and Edward Braxton serving as co-consecrators. Sheridan chose as his episcopal motto: "Virtus in infirmitate perficitur" (2 Corinthians 12:9), meaning, "Strength is made perfect in weakness").

Coadjutor Bishop and Bishop of Colorado Springs
On December 4, 2001, John Paul II appointed Sheridan as coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of Colorado Springs. On January 30, 2003, Sheridan automatically succeeded the retiring Bishop Richard Hannifen as the second bishop of the diocese. Sheridan was installed on January 30, 2002.

Within the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), Sheridan sat on the Committee on Education. He was also a board member of the Pontifical North American College in Rome, the  Catholic Relief Services, the International Dominican Foundation, and the Kenrick Seminary board of trustees.

In 2004, Sheridan said that any Catholic who does not reflect church teaching in the voting booth "makes a mockery of that faith and belies his identity as a Catholic," a remark widely held to refer to Catholic supporters of then Senator John Kerry during the 2004 United States presidential election campaign. Sheridan qualified his statement by saying "...the church never directs citizens to vote for any specific candidate." Kevin Eckstrom of Religion News Service called it the first directive in the nation: "...that would apply to voters the same controversial sanctions proposed by some bishops against abortion-rights Catholic politicians...also one of the most drastic—equating a particular vote with sinful activity." Sheridan's stance drew national attention and harsh criticism, which he then softened in a column in the diocesan newspaper. Sheridan's spokesman stated that there was no communion ban on anyone and that decisions on taking communion rested with individuals and their consciences. In 2005, Sheridan's executive assistant, Peter Howard, wrote a column in the diocesan newspaper stating that participating in Protestant church services is contrary to church teaching. Sheridan then issued a public rebuttal, stating that Howard's view "does not represent my thinking on the subject".

Retirement and legacy
On April 30, 2021, Pope Francis accepted Sheridan's letter of resignation as bishop of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, appointing Father James Golka as his replacement.Michael Sheridan died on September 27, 2022, in a Colorado Springs hospital.

The electoral district of Canning was an electorate in the state of Western Australia. The electorate, which was named for the Canning River which ran through it, was first contested at the 1897 election, but was abolished prior to the 1901 election, with most of its territory transferred to the new seat of South Perth. However, for the 1904 election, South Perth was abolished and Canning re-created. Canning was abolished for a second time in the 1988 redistribution.

Canning covered much of Perth's inner southern region, being reduced progressively as suburban areas such as Applecross, South Perth, Victoria Park and Belmont developed and became populous enough to require their own electorates. By the time of its dissolution it corresponded approximately with the present-day Kenwick district and had become a safe Labor Party seat.

Geography
Canning initially covered all the land south of the Swan River between North Lake Road, Alfred Cove and Epsom Avenue, Redcliffe, extending south and southeast to what are now South Street, Roe Highway and Brook Road. Most of this area was rural at the time, and at the 1897 election contained only 321 enrolled voters, but from the 1920s onwards and especially after World War II, suburban development along with electoral reform resulted in areas meeting the threshold to require an elected member. In the 1929 redistribution, Victoria Park was established and areas northeast of Orrong Road were moved into Middle Swan. Other areas were split in subsequent redistributions:

 1948: South Perth and Melville
 1955: Beeloo
 1966: Clontarf
 1976: Murdoch

In its final incarnation, from 1983 until 1989, Canning included the suburbs of Beckenham, Ferndale, Kenwick, Langford, Lynwood, Thornlie and Wattle Grove, and parts of Cannington and East Cannington.

Steve Duplantis (September 20, 1972 – January 23, 2008) was a pro golf caddie. He worked with several golfers until his death.

Career and personal life
Duplantis was born in Brampton in Canada. He began caddying for Clarence Rose in 1993, after his own golf career failed.

He worked with Jim Furyk early in his career from 1994 until 1999, but he is best known for his time with Rich Beem which was chronicled by the writer Alan Shipnuck in the best-selling book Bud, Sweat and Tees, during which Beem won the Kemper Open.  Duplantis also caddied for Tommy Armour III when he set the PGA Tour's 72-hole scoring record at the Texas Open in 2003 and had also caddied for other golfers on both the PGA Tour and European Tour, including Daniel Chopra, Garrett Willis, Gabriel Hjertstedt and David Branshaw. At the time of his death Duplantis was working with Eric Axley.

Beem's victory at the Kemper Open in 1999 was only his 12th start on tour, and Duplantis was hailed for playing a big part in the victory, which Jim Nantz hailed as one "of the greatest caddying performances you will ever see.". However, Beem and Duplantis would stop working together soon afterwards; Shipnuck attributes this to their similarities.

Duplantis featured prominently in Shipnuck's book Bud, Sweat and Tees. The book, which followed Beem and Duplantis as they played various events during Beem's rookie season on the PGA Tour, spoke about Duplantis' relationship with his ex-wife and his young daughter Sierra. After Beem won the PGA Championship in 2002 the book became a best-seller.

Duplantis was referred to as "Asbestos" because he was thought to be fireproof. He had a well-earned reputation for tardiness, and this led several golfers to fire him. Despite this, he maintained a reputation as one of the best caddies working the circuit. John Maginnes wrote in his column on pgatour.com that "Even on those mornings when the night's activities lingered in the air, Steve was still an exceptional caddy". After his death caddy Patrick Smith said that "He raised the level of every player he worked for. He could take guys who were marginal and they would play well".

Death
In the morning of January 23, 2008 shortly after midnight, Duplantis stepped off a curb in Del Mar, California, and was hit by a taxi cab driver. Sgt. Randy Webb of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department reported that he died at the scene. Duplantis was to caddie for Eric Axley at the Buick Invitational later that week. On the opening day of play many caddies wore ribbons to commemorate Duplantis.

The MDV 1200 class fast ferry is a class of six vessels built by Fincantieri in Italy. Four of these vessels were for Sea Containers, with the other two vessels being for Ocean Bridge Investments.

History
The MDV1200 craft were built for Ocean Bridge Investments, and were delivered in 1996 (Pegasus One) and 1997 (Pegasus Two) respectively. Pegasus One was sold to Tallink, and later to Stena Line. In 2007 she was sold to Aegean Speed Lines and was renamed Speedrunner II. In 2014, Speedrunner II was sold to Naviera Paraguana and was renamed Paraguana I. Pegasus Two currently operates at Arab Bridge Marinetime, under the name Queen Nefertiti.

The MDV1200II craft were built for Sea Containers. The first two craft (SuperSeaCat One and SuperSeaCat Two) were delivered in 1997, the third and fourth craft (SuperSeaCat Three and SuperSeaCat Four) followed in 1999.

Originally built for operating on the English Channel, the venture was operated by Hoverspeed. The SuperSeaCat operation didn't last on the Channel, as in 1998 the SuperSeaCat Two went on operations with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for a year. The following year the SuperSeaCat Three operated for the Steam Packet, undertaking her Maiden Voyage with the company between Liverpool and Douglas.

Since then, the SuperSeaCat One, Three and Four operated for Silja Line. In 2003, the SuperSeaCat Two went on a long-term charter to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. In 2005, the first of the quartet, the SuperSeaCat One, was sold to Trasmediterránea, as the Almudaina Dos. In 2021, Almudaina Dos was sold to Greek ferry company Horizon Sea Lines and was renamed HSC Santa Irini.

It was revealed in 2008 that Sea Containers had sold the SuperSeaCat Three and Four to Aegean Speed Lines, who operate the two ships on their usual Helsinki-Tallinn route. SuperSeaCat 3 was renamed Speedrunner 3 and SuperSeaCat 4 was renamed Speedrunner 4 (IV). It was also revealed in 2008 that the SuperSeaCat Two would operate as the Viking for the remainder of her charter to the Steam Packet. In 2009, the Viking was sold to Hellenic Seaways and renamed Hellenic Wind. In 2016, Hellenic Wind remained at the same company and was renamed Hellenic Highspeed. In 2022, she was chartered to AML (Africa Morroco Link).

In 2016, Speedrunner IV was sold to Greek ferry company Golden Star Ferries and was renamed Super Runner. In 2021, Super Runner was sold to Seajets and was renamed HSC Super Runner Jet.

In 2022, Speedrunner 3 was sold to Seajets and was renamed HSC Speedrunner Jet.

Roach Motel is an American brand of a roach bait device designed to catch cockroaches. Although the term is the subject of a trademark registration by the insect control brand Black Flag, the phrase roach motel has come to be used as a reference to all traps that use a scent or other form of bait to lure cockroaches into a compartment in which a sticky substance causes them to become trapped. Introduced in late 1976 in response to the success of d-CON's roach trap, the Roach Motel quickly became a successful entrant in the industry. By 1979, New York magazine reported, "On the strength of its whimsical packaging and an aggressive ad campaign, the Roach Motel now dominates the market, outselling the closest competition by as much as three to one in some cities."

Early versions of the Roach Motels used food-based bait, but later designs incorporated pheromones. The widely known tagline of the Roach Motel was, "Roaches check in, but they don't check out!" This phrase has also been applied to information technology systems such as enterprise resource planning, which readily capture transactions data but make it difficult for organizations to access, report and analyze the data stored in the system.

Black Flag also marketed a related insect trap, the "Flyport," designed to deal with unwanted flying insects like houseflies, with the tagline, "Lots of arrivals, but no departures!" It was less successful than the Roach Motel.

"Roach Motel" is United States federal trademark No. 1,059,314, for which Black Flag claims a date of earliest use of May 7, 1976.

The 9th Infantry Division () was a unit of the Polish Army in the Second Polish Republic. For most of 1919, the 9th Division's regiments were dispersed across the regions of Podlachia, Polesie and Volhynia, with one battalion sent to Dąbrowa Basin.

Formation
The division was originally formed in 1919. Stationed in Siedlce. The 9th Division's history begins in the early summer of 1919. It was formed on June 12 of that year, in Polesia, out of units of Operational Group Polesie, commanded by General Antoni Listowski. At that time, it was divided into two Infantry Brigades and one Artillery Brigade:
 17th Infantry Brigade (15th and 22nd Infantry Regiments),
 18th Infantry Brigade (34th and 35th Infantry Regiments),
 9th Artillery Brigade (9th Field Artillery Regiment, 9th Heavy Artillery Regiment).

Polish and German conflict
On February 5, 1919, the division attacked the German-occupied Brest Fortress. After four days, the Germans decided to negotiate, and hand over the fortress, together with Terespol, to General Listowski. A commemorative parade took place in Brześć Litewski on February 13, and soon afterwards, the 34th Regiment was transported by rail to Kobryn to defend the line of the Mukhavets.

Polish–Soviet War

1919
On February 17, the Red Army clashed with Poles near Antopal, which was the first battle of the Polish–Soviet War.

On February 28, the infantry units of General Listowski advanced east towards Pinsk. Divided into three groups, the Poles captured Drahichyn and Janów Poleski, and then advanced along the rail line from Brześć to Pinsk. Finally, on March 5, the Poles seized Pinsk and then headed towards Luniniec, but failed to capture this important rail junction.

On July 1, 1919, divisions of the Polish Lithuanian-Belarusian Front began an offensive to capture Minsk and to reach the line of the Berezina river. The 9th Division protected the right flank of the Polish front, seizing the important rail junction of Luniniec on July 10. The Soviets several times tried to recapture the town, but their attacks failed. Finally, in August 1919, the division captured Sluck, reaching the line of the Sluch river. It spent the winter of 1919/1920 keeping the positions along the Sluch.

1920
In March 1920, the 9th Division was ordered to attack and capture another important rail junction at Mazyr. The offensive began on the night of March 4, and by the afternoon of March 5, after crossing 70 kilometres, Mozyr was in Polish hands. The division then took defensive positions, repelling several Soviet raids.

On April 25, 1920, the Kiev offensive began. During the fighting in the Kyiv area, the Polesie Group of the Polish Army (General Władysław Sikorski) was ordered to attack and reach the line of the Dnieper near its confluence with the Prypec. On April 26, the 9th Division seized Czernobyl, and on May 9, it captured Recyca. Six days later, Polish units reached the Dnieper.

In early June 1920, the Soviet 12th Army crossed the Dnieper, threatening Polish forces in Kyiv with encirclement. On June 17, the Polish front was broken, and a general retreat was ordered. On July 4, the armies of Mikhail Tukhachevsky and Semyon Budyonny initiated a general offensive. The 9th Division withdrew to the Styr line, but the Soviets crossed it on July 21. In late July, two regiments of the division were transported to the area of Grodno, fighting the Cavalry Army of Hayk Bzhishkyan. There, the Polish retreat continued. Near Jablonka, the 34th Infantry Regiment was almost destroyed by the enemy, with losses reaching up to 75%.

In early August, the division regrouped in the area of Modlin, with the 41st Infantry Regiment attached to it, to replace the destroyed 34th Infantry Regiment. As part of the Fifth Army, it was tasked with protecting the left wing of the Polish Northern Front until the planned Wieprz river offensive.

On August 14, the division began offensive from its positions along the Wkra river. By August 16, it captured Nasielsk and advanced towards Ciechanów. On August 30, the division was transported by rail from Ciechanów to Chełm, where it joined the Third Army. On September 3, Marshal Józef Piłsudski decorated many of its soldiers with medals and awards. After a parade, the division was ordered to capture Hrubieszów. The assault began on September 5, and on the next day, the town was seized. The division remained in the south until September 19, capturing Lutsk and Dubno.

In late September 1920, the division was transported northwards to guard the Polish–Lithuanian demarcation line. It was stationed near Wolkowysk, and two of its regiments were incorporated into the armed forces of the Republic of Central Lithuania.

Second Polish Republic
In 1921, the headquarters and the 22nd Infantry Regiment were moved to the permanent location in the garrison of Siedlce. The 34th Infantry Regiment was stationed in Biała Podlaska, and the 35th Infantry Regiment in Brzesc nad Bugiem.

On November 3, 1922, during a ceremony in Siedlce, the division's flag was handed to its soldiers by Józef Piłsudski. The flag was funded by the residents of the counties of Siedlce, Łuków and Janów Lubelski. In December 1922, after the election in which Gabriel Narutowicz became the President of Poland, the division sent two battalions to Warsaw to prevent street fighting.

During May Coup of 1926, the 9th Division supported the rebellion and its leader, Józef Piłsudski. Its 22nd Regiment was involved in the coup from the very beginning. Commandant of the Siedlce garrison, Colonel Franciszek Sikorski, sent on May 12, 1926, his soldiers to guard strategic locations in the town, including its important rail junction. Two battalions of soldiers, on the way from Siedlce to Warsaw, were halted at the station in Mińsk Mazowiecki, by the uhlans of the 7th Regiment of Lublin Uhlans. After brief negotiations, the uhlans joined the infantry from Siedlce, and the whole group reached Rembertów in the early afternoon. In the evening, soldiers of the 9th Division fought on the streets of Warsaw, and after the coup, officers of the unit were decorated by Piłsudski for their loyalty.

In 1933, the 9th Light Artillery Regiment was garrisoned in Siedlce.

1939 Invasion of Poland
As part of Pomorze Army the 9th I.D. defended the 70-kilometer line between the town of Pruszcz and the village of Gostycyn in Polish Pomerania. The division fought in the 1939 Defensive War under Colonel Józef Werobej. In the morning of September 1, 1939, it was attacked by three Wehrmacht divisions – 2nd Armored-Motorized, 3rd Armored and 32nd I.D. After heavy fighting, the Poles withdrew in the evening to the area of Cekcyn. Another defence line was established there, but the Germans broke it, and the 9th I.D. retreated over the Brda and to the suburbs of Bydgoszcz.

The 2nd Motorized Infantry Division advanced in the north, facing Polish 35th Infantry Regiment. The 3rd Panzer Division in the middle, and the 32nd Infantry Division in the south, along the Brda river, where it faced Polish 22nd Infantry Regiment.

On the night of September 1/2, Polish units retreated behind the Brda, concentrating near Bysławek. The 22nd Regiment was transferred to the 15th Infantry Division and sent to Bydgoszcz, while remaining subunits of the 9th Division were ordered to join forces with the 27th Infantry Division, and to attack German panzer columns, heading towards the Brda.

Since the 27th Division did not arrive on time, General Władysław Bortnowski ordered both units to attack simultaneously, with the support of Czersk Operational Group. Thus, the Polish attack was set to begin on the morning of September 3, and the objective was to push the Germans back behind the Brda. However, since both Polish divisions failed to cooperate as their communication failed, the assault turned into a failure, with the German 3rd Armored Division managing to halt it.

After the defeat, the 9th I.D. gathered in the forests north of Bydgoszcz. Soon afterwards, it was attacked by the Luftwaffe. Unable to defend itself and without air support, the division scattered and ceased to exist. Only the 35th Infantry Regiment remained as a unit and managed to break out of the German encirclement on September 5.

Later in World War II
A 9th Infantry Division was also formed as part of the Anders Army briefly in 1942, and there was a 9th Home Army Infantry Division active in 1944.

Cold War
Additionally, the Polish People's Army formed a 9th Infantry Division, which was active from 1944 to 1962, after which it became the 9th Mechanised Division.

"(You're) Having My Baby" is a song written and recorded in 1974 by Canadian singer Paul Anka. Recorded as a duet with female vocalist Odia Coates, the song became Anka's first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 15 years, since 1959's "Lonely Boy". The song was certified Gold by the RIAA.

Song information
Anka, whose last chart-topping hit had been 1959's "Lonely Boy", had written the song for his wife and their four daughters while appearing at Lake Tahoe. The song was going to be a solo effort by Anka, but the unknown Coates, whom Anka had met while on tour, was at the studio during the recording session. Upon suggestion by United Artists recording executive Bob Skaff, the song became a duet. Released in late June 1974, "(You're) Having My Baby" climbed the chart and became Anka's third No. 1 song. A follow-up single "One Man Woman/One Woman Man", reached the Top 10 in early 1975.  The song has been covered by various artists, including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Glenn Danzig, and Michael Jackson.

Criticism and controversy
Despite its commercial success, the song has been criticized for its maudlin sentimentality and perceived sexist undertones, and has appeared in many "worst songs" lists. It was voted the #1 "Worst Song of All Time" in a poll conducted by CNN.com in 2006.

Peter Reilly, in a February 1975 review of the album from which it originated, for what was then known as Stereo Review, stated that the song "defeats critical evaluation with the same brashly sure grasp of the popular mood as his equally dismal "Diana" of years ago. Everybody knows Anka can do better (he proved it easily with "My Way"), but he still composes and sings as if he were working on his first million and his fondest wish was an appearance on Dick Clark's show. '(You're) Having My Baby' is (really) The Worst. He grunts out the unforgettable lyrics, 'Yuh're havin' muh baybee/Whad a lovely way of sayin' how much yuh love me . . . Oh the seed inside you baybee/Do you feel it growin'?' in an Elvis-like roar while what sounds like Mantovani's orchestra swoons around him. Yet I'll admit, dammit, that after hearing it only once I caught myself vacantly humming it, exactly as I did years ago with "Diana". All of which probably proves that Anka has some powerful natural gift of communication no matter how much one objects to the message."

The song was also criticized for declaring the child was the man's, rather than the couple's. Anka defended his choice in a 1974 interview, saying, "it's not meant to alienate anyone. I could have called it 'having our baby', but the other just sounded better. It's not a male ego trip—my baby." Anka did sometimes sing the line as "you're having our baby" while performing in concert. While reviewing a 2005 concert, Dan MacIntosh of PopMatters noted that while Anka had "covered most of his career highlights", he had "wisely neglected to include 'You're Having My Baby.'"

Others criticized a line stating that while the woman could have "swept it from [her] life" (a euphemism for having an abortion, which had recently been legalized across the United States through the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling), she had not because it was "a wonderful way of showing how much she loves him". In response, Anka said the song was "a love song". He also explained in 1974, "what I'm saying in the song is that there is a choice. The libbers will get on me; I can't help that. I am into the antihuman thing, and I do understand the other side of it. There are those who can't cope, and it's not in the cards for them to have kids. I'm a libber myself, in the sense that ... if you've got to abort, you do. Some people just can't cope."

The National Organization for Women gave Anka (and, for the unrelated album Unborn Child, Seals and Crofts) the "Keep Her in Her Place" award during "its annual putdown of male chauvinism" in the media on Women's Equality Day. Ms. magazine "awarded" Anka their "Male Chauvinistic Pig of the Year" award.  During the awards banquet, Anka accepted the award, telling the crowd of 2,100 guests, "On behalf of chauvinistic pigs all around the world, I proudly accept this great honor!"

Sunday Sharpe version
Around the same time "(You're) Having My Baby" was climbing the Hot 100, female country vocalist Sunday Sharpe recorded a cover version called "I'm Having Your Baby." With lyrics altered to the female perspective, "I'm Having Your Baby" peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in October 1974.

City Life/Vida Urbana (CL/VU, clvu.org) (est. 1973) commonly known as "City Life," is a social justice group in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1973, a group of local residents and activists with roots in the civil rights, feminist and anti-Vietnam War movements founded the Jamaica Plain Tenants Action Group, now City Life/Vida Urbana. Since 2008, City Life has focused on preventing evictions of both former owners and renters resulting from a rise in foreclosures. City Life/Vida Urbana is currently based in Jamaica Plain, with satellite memberships in East Boston, Brockton, Lynn, Quincy, and Worcester.

Organizational history

Early organizing focused on stopping housing divestment and neglect. Growing numbers of city slumlords had stopped maintaining their buildings – while still raising the rent on units that were unsafe and unsanitary. Others were burning down their own buildings for profit. Tenant organizers identified the worst buildings and organized occupants to take power. Soon thousands of tenants across the city were holding rent strikes, taking owners to court and even picketing in front of their suburban mansions. In response to this powerful movement, the city passed rent control protections, helping tenants for the next 20 years. Several noted property owners were convicted for arson.

When the housing market turned around in the 1980s, gentrification, speculation and condominium conversions became the new threat. CL/VU created an Eviction Free Zone in Jamaica Plain, helping hundreds of people to stay in their homes and inspiring similar models in Roxbury, East Boston, Cambridge and cities in other parts of the country.

The loss of rent control in 1994 sparked a dramatic increase in housing prices. CL/VU responded by applying pressure on local property owners to maintain reasonable rents. They also began collaborating with the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation (JPNDC) to develop affordable housing. In 1990, the former Bowditch School opened as a 45-unit rooming housing for previously homeless people. JPNDC remains a strong voice for housing justice in Jamaica Plain, having created over 440 additional units since that time.

As the need grew, CL/VU began expanding its efforts across the city in the fight against displacement and for restoration of rent regulation. In just 3 years, tenants’ associations were formed in over 40 buildings. Working with CL/VU, these groups used a collective bargaining model to win affordability contracts, Section 8 rent subsidies, and limit rent increases. Two buildings totaling 435 units were able to win 99-year affordability contracts.

In 2007 CL/VU started noticing the increasing number of foreclosure evictions in housing court, prompting them to launch the Post Foreclosure Eviction Defense Campaign. Since 2008, eviction defense has been the thrust of CL/VU's organizing strategy to halt housing displacement for working class tenants and owners. Foreclosure evictions have disproportionately affected communities of color, and reasserted CL/VU's mission to work toward racial justice as well as confronting bank power with collective people power.

Current Work

City Life has worked closely with Project No One Leaves, the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, and other groups in efforts to pressure banks holding foreclosed properties to resell the assets to community lenders, including Boston Community Capital, which mortgages or rents them to the original occupants at the current deflated market rate.

City Life is not a law firm and does not legally represent former tenants and owners.

City Life employs what it calls a "sword and shield" strategy, including acts of direct action such as sit-ins, protest marches, and blockades as well as the defensive use of the court system by its legal advocates. The City Life strategy is to expand pressure on foreclosing financial institutions adding group action with individualized casework.

Between 2007 and the middle of 2011, City Life helped organize more than 20 blockades to prevent evictions, most of which accomplished their object. The organization has also been instrumental in pushing Boston Community Capital to become more actively involved in the financing of distressed properties.

The group meets weekly, ending its sessions with organizers leading a chant: "What do we do when the banks attack?" to which the audience responds, "Stand up, fight back!"

Heliodorus of Alexandria () was a Neoplatonist philosopher who lived in the 5th century AD. He was the son of Hermias and Aedesia, and the younger brother of Ammonius. His father, Hermias, died when he was young, and his mother, Aedesia, raised him and his brother in their home city of Alexandria until they were old enough to go to philosophy school. Aedesia took them to Athens where they studied under Proclus. Eventually they returned to Alexandria, where they both taught philosophy. Damascius, who was taught by Heliodorus, describes him as less gifted than his elder brother, and more superficial in his character and studies.

He cannot be the author of a commentary on the Astrology of Paulus Alexandrinus which was written after 564, which is ascribed to another Heliodorus.

Breconshire or Brecknockshire was a constituency in Wales which returned one Member of Parliament (MP)  to the House of Commons of the English Parliament, and later to the Parliament of Great Britain and of the United Kingdom, between 1542 and 1918. (Historically, the "-shire" suffix was often omitted, leading to potential confusion with the Brecon borough constituency, which existed until 1885.)

Like the rest of Wales, Breconshire was given the right to representation by the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542, and first returned an MP to the Parliament of 1542. The constituency consisted of the historic county of Brecknockshire. (Although the county town, Brecon, was a borough which elected an MP in its own right, it was not excluded from the county constituency, and owning property within the borough could confer a vote at the county election.) The county elected one MP, who was chosen by the first past the post electoral system — when there was a contest at all, which was rare.

As in other county constituencies, the franchise until 1832 was defined by the Forty Shilling Freeholder Act, which gave the right to vote to every man who possessed freehold property within the county valued at £2 or more per year for the purposes of land tax; it was not necessary for the freeholder to occupy his land, nor even in later years to be resident in the county at all. At the time of the Great Reform Act in 1832, Breconshire had a population of approximately 47,800, but the rarity of contested elections makes it difficult to make a reliable estimate of the number qualified to vote; the greatest number ever recorded as voting before the Reform Act was 1,641 at the general election of 1818.

For centuries before 1832, Breconshire politics was dominated by the Morgan family of Tredegar, who were usually able to nominate the county's MP without opposition (as was also the case in Brecon borough). The changes introduced by the Reform Act did little to shake this hold, and a Morgan was still sitting unopposed in the 1860s. The Reform Act extended the county franchise slightly, allowing tenants-at-will, copyholders and leaseholders to vote, but Breconshire's electorate was still only 1,668 at the first post-Reform election, though it grew in the subsequent half-century.

Breconshire was always an almost entirely rural constituency, mountainous and offering poor resources for its agricultural population. The industrial revolution, however, brought coal-mining to the south of the county, and by the late 19th century this was much the most important economic activity and was probably the most important factor in its developing a political mind of its own. By the 1890s it had abandoned its loyalty to the (Conservative) Morgans, and like other industrial constituencies in Wales was a safe Liberal seat.

By the time of the 1911 census, the population of Breconshire was 63,036, and there were around 13,000 voters on the register around the outbreak of the First World War, a respectable size, but neighbouring Radnorshire with barely 6,000 voters was too small to survive. With effect from the 1918 general election, the two constituencies were merged, to form a new Brecon and Radnor constituency.

KXLJ-LD, virtual and UHF digital channel 24, was a low-powered CBS-affiliated television station that was licensed to Juneau, Alaska, United States. It was a full-time satellite of Sitka-licensed KTNL-TV (channel 13) which was owned by Denali Media Holdings (a subsidiary of local cable provider GCI). KXLJ-LD was a sister station to low-powered NBC affiliate KATH-LD (channel 5), licensed to both Juneau and Douglas. KXLJ-LD shared transmitter facilities with KATH-LD in downtown Juneau.

History
The station was not granted its original construction permit until October 4, 2005; however, it originally launched under a series of special temporary authority (STA) grants starting in 2001, the most recent one granted on April 4, 2008.  These special temporary authority grants were for analog operation; however, in 2008, the station filed for a flash-cut to digital television, even though channel 24, as a low-power station, was exempt from the 2009 digital transition for full-service stations.

Channel 24 went on the air in March 2002 as an affiliate of Pax (now Ion Television); that August, it joined CBS, though some Pax programming remained on the schedule for some time thereafter. Before then, KUBD in Ketchikan and KTNL in Sitka served as the default over-the-air CBS affiliates for Southeast Alaska, while cable systems in Juneau imported KIRO-TV from Seattle for CBS programming instead. In early 2003, the station added simulcasts of the newscasts from fellow CBS affiliate KTVA in Anchorage. Though channel 24 referred to itself as "KTNL-LP" (matching the Sitka station), it was originally issued the temporary call sign K24FM; following the grant of the construction permit, the call sign K24HB was issued on October 12, 2005. The call letters were changed to KXLJ-LP on July 5, 2007, and were modified to KXLJ-LD (reflecting its conversion to digital) on October 6, 2008.

KXLJ-LD's construction permit was canceled on March 15, 2010 after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) determined, while processing the station's application for a digital license, that the permit had expired on October 12, 2008.  As a result, the station's owner, Ketchikan Television LLC, had to reapply for the channel 24 position in Juneau. On February 24, 2010, KXLJ-LD received special temporary authority from the FCC to return to the air, which was extended on August 18, 2010. The station was given the temporary call sign K24JH-D upon receiving the special temporary authority grant; after the new construction permit was granted on June 15, 2011, channel 24 was assigned the K24KH-D call sign, before regaining the KXLJ-LD call sign on July 6. The low-power station was again licensed on July 19, 2011. Since returning to the air, KXLJ-LD has transmitted a digital signal.

On December 9, 2013, Ketchikan Television filed to sell KXLJ-LD, along with KTNL and KUBD, to Denali Media Holdings, a subsidiary of local cable provider GCI. The deal made them sister stations to NBC affiliate KATH-LD in Juneau and its satellite KSCT-LP in Sitka, as well as KTVA. The sale was completed on July 28, 2014.

On September 28, 2021, Denali Media surrendered the license of KXLJ-LD back to the FCC. Juneau-based repeater station, KYEX-LD (relaying Gray-owned Anchorage-based KAUU) now serves the former viewing area of KXLJ-LD as a dual CBS/MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station.

The Alviso Adobe Community Park is a  park in the city of Pleasanton, California, United States. It is built around an adobe house constructed in 1854 by Francisco Alviso on the Rancho Santa Rita Mexican Land Grant.  The Alviso Adobe is a rare surviving example of an early American adobe that was continuously in use until 1969. The building is registered as California Historical Landmark #510 in 1954, but most of the historical marker was later found to be erroneous.

Construction of the park was initially planned to begin in 2000, but the city could not secure funding until 2007, when the $4.4 million project was finally begun. The park opened to the public with a grand-opening ceremony on October 25, 2008. Besides the adobe, which is furnished as it would have been in the 1920s, the park contains a replica of an old dairy and interpretive displays of Ohlone culture.

Alviso adobe

1854 to 1969: from rancho to dairy
Built in 1854 by Francisco Alviso (1818- ), the adobe was on the lands of the  Rancho Santa Rita, given in 1839 as a Mexican land grant to Jose Dolores Pacheco. Rancho Santa Rita was surrounded on the north by Rancho San Ramon (owned by Jose Maria Amador, Francisco Alviso's uncle) and on the east and south by Rancho Valle de San Jose (owned by Juan and Augustin Bernal and their brother-in-law Antonio Suñol).  Francisco Alviso's father, Francisco Solano Alviso (1792- ), was once Pacheco's majordomo (ranch manager).

During the railroad boom period of the 1860s, Rancho Santa Rita was sub divided into fifteen smaller tracts of varying sizes.
The Alviso Adobe became the center of a "small"  farm overlooking the Amador Valley and was occupied by Francisco Alviso and his wife Maria Ysabel (1819- ) and their ten children.  Alviso sold the property and land in 1872 to J. West Martin, a land speculator and later mayor of Oakland. Martin then resold it to Anthony Chabot, the "Water King". Census records indicate that the Alviso family continued to live there for almost 30 years until the 1880s.

Afterwards in 1881, it was acquired by the Contra Costa Water Company and used by a succession of different tenant farmer families.  The 1906 San Francisco earthquake damaged the building, leaving large cracks in the walls and chimney.

In 1919, it was purchased by Walter M. Briggs, who started the Meadowlark Dairy, the first certified dairy in California. He had the building renovated and used it as housing for his workers. The adobe continued to serve this purpose until 1969, when the dairy moved its operations to Tracy.

Post-dairy developments
The Briggs company sold the farm and adobe in 1966 to the Great Southwest Corporation, who wanted to build an amusement park on the site, but this was hotly contested by local residents and the plan was scrapped. The company then sold it to a real-estate development company. Most of the land was then converted to individual housing lots, but the adobe, which had been declared a California Historical Landmark in 1954, and a few acres were donated in 1993 to the city of Pleasanton.

The historical marker #510 originally read:

FRANCISCO SOLANO ALVISO ADOBE - This building, erected in 1844-46 by Francisco Solano Alviso, was the first adobe house to be built in the Pleasanton Valley. It was originally called Alisal—The Sycamores. Following the Battle of Sunol Canyon, General John C. Frémont withdrew to this building, which became his headquarters for several days.

However, in a 2000 report issued in preparation for the city's renovation plan, historians discovered several errors in the original plaque. Firstly, the Alviso Adobe was confused with another adobe built ten years earlier by José Dolores Pacheco that was  to the north and no longer standing. Additionally, construction was wrongly credited to Francisco Alviso's father, Franciso Solano Alviso (1792- ). Lastly, there is no evidence that John C. Frémont ever used the building  or that a battle with local Indians ever occurred, as Frémont's memoirs place him in Santa Clara at the time.  The historical marker has since been removed.

The current plaque at Alviso Adobe Community Park states that the building was built in 1854 and features a photo, circa 1900, of the Alviso Adobe with its tenant farmer family who lived there from 1898 to 1917.

The 2000 Master Plan for the Alviso Adobe Community Park included a 39-foot replica of the white grain silo on the east side of the re-created Meadowlark Dairy.  Objections from the local residents caused the planners and the city to revise the master plan and eliminate the silo from the park.

The Pentax K20D and its clone, the Samsung GX-20, are 14.6 megapixel digital single-lens reflex cameras manufactured by Pentax that were announced on January 23, 2008. The K20D was available in the U.S. market from February 2008 through autumn 2009.

The K20D and GX-20 bodies were developed by Pentax, while the CMOS sensor was manufactured by Samsung - a result of a partnership begun in 2005. Although both cameras share similar hardware, each camera has its own design, firmware, and image processing algorithms. The K20D is the first Pentax DSLR with a CMOS image sensor co-developed by Pentax and Samsung. Samsung's expertise in sensor design is seen as a major benefit to Pentax, which did not release its first DSLR until 2003, when most other camera manufacturers had already established themselves in the growing digital SLR market.

At the time of their release, the K20D and GX-20 had the highest resolution sensor in the APS-C image sensor format at 14.6 megapixels. In 2009, Pentax announced the K-7, the successor to the K20D, with a modified CMOS sensor, smaller design, and many new features including HD video recording.

The latest firmware release, version 1.04, was made available in April 2010. It solved issues with certain SDHC memory cards. The previous firmware update, version 1.03, was made available in April 2009 and improved Shake Reduction (SR) accuracy as well as autofocus performance in some conditions. Users can download firmware updates from the Pentax website.

Features

The K20D is the successor to the well-reviewed Pentax K10D prosumer DSLR. The K20D was released alongside the Pentax K200D, a substantial upgrade of the entry-level Pentax K100D. Relative to its predecessor, the K20D offers:
 a CMOS image sensor with:
 higher resolution (14.6 megapixels vs. 10.2 megapixels for the K10D)
 higher sensitivity, up to ISO 6400 equivalent (vs. ISO 1600 for the K10D)
 a slightly larger, higher-resolution, main LCD screen with live view and which can be color-calibrated via custom settings
 a more versatile continuous shooting mode, offering a choice between 3 frames/s at full resolution and 21 frames/s at 1.6 megapixel resolution.

As of August 2009, the MSRP of the K20D body in the U.S market was $629. The price with a DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens kit was $699.

Samsung GX-20

Under a partnership between Pentax and Samsung Techwin, the K20D was also available as the Samsung GX-20. The two cameras are virtually identical with a few small differences. Button text labels on the GX-20 use a slightly smaller font, while the buttons themselves are slightly different in shape and placement. In addition, the hand grip is a slightly different shape, meaning that the battery grip for the K20D is incompatible with the GX-20. A separate GX-20 battery grip was available.

The firmware of the Samsung GX-20 is also different, using different menus and symbols. It also lacks support for the Pentax PEF raw image format, reportedly opting for Adobe's raw format instead. The JPEG image processing of the GX-20 is reportedly different from that of the K20D. Samsung based its firmware updates for the GX-20 on those Pentax created for the K20D, introducing versions 1.01 and 1.03 shortly after Pentax released the corresponding updates for the K20D. Samsung ceased update support for the GX-20 before Pentax released firmware version 1.04 for the K20D, and thus did not develop or release a corresponding version 1.04 for the GX-20. While a K20D with firmware 1.04 installed will read and write to a 32GB SDHC card, a GX-20 fully updated with firmware version 1.03 will only address SDHC cards up to 16GB. Pentax K20D firmware updates cannot be installed on the GX-20.

Ed Levine (born January 27, 1952) is the creator/founder of Serious Eats, the author of the entrepreneurial memoir Serious Eater: A Food Lover's Quest for Pizza and Redemption (Portfolio Penguin/Random House, 2019), and the host of the podcast Special Sauce. He was formerly a frequent The New York Times contributor. His stories on iconic American foods such as pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream and cheesecake have appeared in many U.S. periodicals, including GQ, BusinessWeek and The New York Times. In 2016, Levine was inducted into the James Beard Foundation's Who's Who of Food & Beverage in America.

Education

Levine grew up in Cedarhurst, New York, and graduated from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles in 1969. He attended Grinnell College in Iowa with a BA in music, and in 1985, earned his MBA from Columbia Business School.

Food criticism

Levine's first book New York Eats was a guide to New York City's best non-restaurant food. Published in 1992, Levine's research stretched back to the 1970s. A follow-up, New York Eats (More), was published in 1997. In 2005, he commemorated pizza's centennial in America by consuming 1,000 slices of pizza for Pizza: A Slice of Heaven, which also includes cartoons, poems, and essays about pizza by writers and chefs, including Nora Ephron, Garry Trudeau, Calvin Trillin, Ruth Reichl, Mario Batali, and Roy Blount Jr. Levine also co-wrote, The Young Man and the Sea which was published in May 2007. It is a collection of more than 100 seafood recipes and fisherman stories from Chef David Pasternack of New York's Esca.

In December 2006, he founded the food website Serious Eats, covering cultural trends within the food community, chef gossip, restaurant reviews and message dialogue among readers, involving blogs, video, social network, and community-created food content. In 2010 Serious Eats won two James Beard Awards, one for best food blog and the other for best web video. Columnists on Serious Eats included the James Beard Award-winning columnists J. Kenji Lopez-Alt (The Food Lab) and Stella Parks (Brave Tart).

Serious Eats has been praised by PBS's MediaShift as “the next generation of food media.” In 1997, Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl called Levine “the curator of New York's far-flung food museum” and “a missionary of the delicious…on a crusade to see that the people who make food get the recognition they deserve.”

Television and radio

As a television personality, Levine hosted the co-host and consulting producer for Reservations Required on the Ultra HD Channel. He also created, co-produced and co-hosted (along with Vogue magazine food critic Jeffrey Steingarten) New York Eats for the Metro Channel. As a former radio producer, Levine created and hosted Dish for WNYC, New York's NPR affiliate, which was twice nominated for James Beard Awards for Electronic Media. Guests on Dish included the late Nora Ephron, Calvin Trillin, Frances McDormand, and Joel Coen.

He started the podcast Special Sauce With Ed Levine in 2015 in which he speaks to chefs, restaurateurs, actors and other cultural figures about their relationships to food. The first episode features a conversation with Phil Rosenthal, creator of the television sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. Special Sauce is produced by PRX. Special Sauce has received multiple nominations for a James Beard Award.

Music

Levine has also co-produced records for Dr. John and written about music for Rolling Stone and The New York Times. As an Associate Producer at the now defunct concert production firm Levine worked on concerts at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center headlined by artists including Ray Charles, Sonny Rollins, Wynton Marsalis, Tom Waits, B.B.King, and the Staples Singers. Levine also worked as a publicist at Warner Bros. Records on acts including the B-52s, Talking Heads, and Rickie Lee Jones. He received a gold record for his work on Rickie Lee Jones.
