Asterocampa clyton, the tawny emperor, is a species of brush-footed butterfly. It is native to North America, especially the eastern half from Canada to northern Mexico. The tawny emperor should not be mistaken for a very similar Asterocampa butterfly, the hackberry emperor, which can be distinguished by the white spots near the tip of its forewing and the black eyespot lower along the edge of the forewing.

The upperside is mostly dark brown. The forewing is an orange-brown color with pale orange-yellow spots. The underside is mainly gray brown with the forewing having some black and pale yellowish markings. The wingspan measures 2 to 2.6 inches (51 to 66 mm). A dark morph of this species is regionally common with nearly uniformly dark hind wings.

This butterfly may be seen flying near houses, gravel driveways, near water, muddy places, gardens, and woodlands. Its only host plant is hackberry trees. The adult feeds on carrion, plant sap, and dung, and rarely land on flowers.

The female lays clusters of green eggs. The larva is green with yellow, white, or greenish stripes.

Mommenheim (; ) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department. The department is in the historic Alsace region of France, and is itself within the Grand Est administrative region of north-eastern France.

History
The first written mention of Mommenheim dates back to the mid 10th century, under the name of Mumlen. In 953, Emperor Otto I. gave his property to the Lorsch Abbey. Mommenheim was a village under the reign of the Holy Roman Empire.

The town was spared the Swedish occupation during the Thirty Years' War.

In 1733, the village was largely destroyed by a large fire, fed among other things by multiple hay barns in the commune.

In 1850, the station of Mommenheim is built, it is on the way of the line Strasbourg-Sarrebourg, inaugurated the following year.

The line linking Mommenheim and Sarreguemines was inaugurated in 1895.

In 1898, the first fire brigade of the commune was created.

In 1871, Mommenheim was attached to Germany at the same time as Alsace and Moselle.

During the First World War, 1917, village bells were used in the manufacture of ammunition.

After the Second World War, the number of inhabitants from the Jewish community, which accounted for up to a third of the village’s population in 1898, declined sharply.

Landmarks
The nineteenth century synagogue survived the war and can be seen while crossing the Rue des Juifs.

Twin towns and sister cities
Mommenheim is twinned with:

 Bühl (formerly Vimbuch), Germany

WNAE (104.3 MHz, "Kinzua Country 104") is an FM radio station broadcasting a country music format. WNAE is licensed to serve Clarendon, Pennsylvania, United States. The station is owned by Lilly Broadcasting and features programming from Westwood One.

History
The construction permit for this station was first issued on February 2, 1993, to Cary and Betty Simpson, who were the principal owners of the Allegheny Mountain Network, based in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. It was originally permitted to operate at 106.9 MHz, but at the same operating power it has today. The call sign WOVU was assigned on March 29, 1993. On November 7, 1994, WOVU was granted a construction permit to move to 104.3; WKZA would later take over the 106.9 frequency.

Cary and Betty Simpson sold the WOVU permit to LeRoy Schneck's Kinzua Broadcasting Company, owner of WNAE and WRRN in Warren, for $21,514 in 1994; the sale was completed on February 23, 1995. On July 14, 1995, the station changed its call sign to WKNB. It signed on August 31, 1995, carrying a country music format supplied by the Jones Satellite Network.

Kinzua Broadcasting sold its stations to Frank Iorio, who already owned the construction permit for a station on 102.7 FM in Clarendon, in 2005 for $1.25 million; the new station, which took the call sign WNAE-FM, operated as a simulcast of WKNB from 2008 until its sale to the Family Life Network in 2010. Following a never-completed sale to Laurel Media in 2017, Iorio (who owned the stations under the name Radio Partners LLC) sold WKNB, WRRN, and WNAE to Lilly Broadcasting for $900,000 in 2019, making them sister stations to WICU-TV and WSEE-TV in Erie. Lilly changed the station's call sign to WNAE on March 4, 2020, parking the call sign from its AM sister station to retain rights to the WNAE calls.

Martin Lane (born 12 April 1961) is an English former footballer who played mainly as a full-back. Born in Altrincham, he made appearances in The Football League for four clubs, with most of his career being spent with Chester City.

Playing career
Lane joined Manchester United as a youngster in 1977 and spent five years at Old Trafford without making a competitive first-team appearance. He joined Chester City in August 1982, making his debut in a Football League Trophy tie away at Chesterfield during the same month. He quickly became a regular in the side and even had a successful game as a makeshift centre-forward in Chester's 4–2 win at Tranmere Rovers in December 1982, scoring twice. Despite remaining a regular player, Lane had to wait until April 1986 for his next Chester goal, scoring direct from a corner kick in a 2–1 win over Exeter City to help the club move to the brink of promotion. During the same season, Lane was part of a defence that helped Chester go 423 minutes without conceding a goal.

After helping Chester to a 2–1 win over Wrexham in the FA Cup third round in January 1987, Lane moved to Division One side Coventry City for £25,000. After making just three league appearances in two years at Highfield Road and spending time on loan with Wrexham, Lane returned to Chester for the same amount he had been sold for in January 1989. His arrival was quickly followed by a run of four successive wins without conceding a goal, as Chester came close to qualifying for the Division Three play-offs. Lane remained a regular until the end of the 1990–91 season, playing his final game in a 1–0 defeat at Bolton Wanderers on 11 May 1991.

Lane made just 10 appearances in a season with Walsall and then dropped into non-league football, having spells with clubs including Shepshed Albion, Worcester City and Hinckley Town, while working for a security company.

Mark Henry Heathcote Partridge  (23 November 192213 December 2007) was a Rhodesian politician who served as the minister of Lands and Natural Resources and Defence.

Early life
Partridge was born on 23 November 1922, at States Mines, East Rand, Transvaal, in South Africa. A year later his family moved to Salisbury in Southern Rhodesia, and Patridge was later educated at St. George's College. He enlisted in the King’s Royal Rifle Corps in 1940, seeing service in the Mediterranean theatre. In 1944 he received a temporary commission as an officer in the KRRC. Following demobilisation in 1945, Partridge became a company director.

Political career
After joining the Rhodesian Front party, Partridge stood as the RF candidate for the Southern Rhodesian Legislative Assembly seat of Greendale in the December 1962 assembly election. He subsequently gained 55% of the vote, defeating Herbert Jack Quinton of the United Federal Party. He was re-elected for Greendale in 1965 and at the House of Assembly elections in 1970 (72%), 1974 (70.2%) and 1977 (79.3%).

In 1966 he was made Minister of Local Government and Housing by Prime Minister Ian Smith, and was made Minister of Lands and Natural Resources in May 1973. On 10 March 1977, he was briefly appointed as Minister of Defence, before being appointed as Minister of Agriculture and Water Development until the end of Rhodesia on 1 June 1979. In the only election for the House of Assembly of Zimbabwe Rhodesia held in April 1979, Partridge was elected unopposed as the member for Highlands but did not hold office in the government.

Following Zimbabwe's formal independence and first elections in 1980, Partridge was elected to the indirectly-elected Senate of Zimbabwe. With the Rhodesian Front becoming the Conservative Alliance of Zimbabwe from 1984, he moved from the Senate to the House of Assembly from the 1985 election as the MP for Mazowe-Mutoko, serving until the abolition of the White roll seats in 1987.

The Battle of the Bulge Monument formerly known as the Mardasson Memorial is a monument honoring the memory of American soldiers wounded or killed during World War II's Battle of the Bulge.  Designed in the shape of a five-pointed American star, it is located near Bastogne in the Luxembourg province of Belgium. The first step toward the memorial was undertaken on July 4, 1946, with the presentation of some earth from the site to U.S. President Harry Truman.  The dedication was on July 16, 1950.

Design
Belgian architect Georges Dedoyard designed a  tall monument in the shape of a five-pointed American star with  sides surrounding a  wide atrium. The inner walls are covered with ten passages carved in stone commemorating the battle, and the parapet bears the names of the 48 U.S. States. Insignia of most participating battalions are shown on the walls, representing the 76,890 killed and wounded during the thwarted December 1944–January 1945 German Watch on the Rhine offensive, known in English by the colloquial "Battle of the Bulge".

Below the structure a crypt with three altars – one each for Protestant, Catholic and Jewish services – was carved, and decorated with mosaics by French artist Fernand Léger.

Memorial Stone
The Latin inscription on the memorial stone:
LIBERATORIBVS
AMERICANIS
POPVLVS BELGICVS
MEMOR
IV.VII.MCMXLVI.
translates to "The Belgian people remember their American liberators – 4th July 1946."

Story of the Battle
The ten carved panels ringing the inside of the memorial tell the story of the battle.  Their text reads:

1.    THIS MEMORIAL AND THE EARTH SURROUNDING ARE DEDICATED TO THE ENDURING FRIENDSHIP OF THE PEOPLES OF BELGIUM AND THE UNITED STATES WHO FORGED A BOND FROM THEIR COMMON STRUGGLE TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY OF ALL FREE PEOPLES.
FOR THE ARMIES OF THE UNITED STATES IN NUMBERS OF MEN ENGAGED, IN THE COURAGE SHOWN BY ALL FORCES, IN THE INTREPID DECISION OF THEIR LEADERS, AND IN FINAL ACCOMPLISHMENT, IT WAS ONE OF THE GREAT BATTLES OF THEIR HISTORY.  FOR THE PEOPLE OF BELGIUM, IT WAS THE FINAL STAND AGAINST AN ENEMY WHO FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS HAD VIOLATED THEIR SOIL AND VAINLY TRIED TO CRUSH THEIR

2.  . . . NATIONAL SPIRIT.  IT WAS THE LAST ACT OF THE GREAT LIBERATION.  THE UNIFORMED RANKS OF THE UNITED STATES FOUGHT FOR THIS SOIL AS IF IT HAD BEEN THEIR HOMELAND.  THE BELGIAN CIVILIANS, UNARMED, REFUSED TO ABANDON IT IN FACE OF THE ONCOMING ENEMY.
THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE OPENED ON DECEMBER 16, 1944 WITH AN ATTACK BY THE GERMAN ENEMY WHICH BROKE THE AMERICAN FRONT, ENVELOPED THE ARDENNES COUNTRY AND AT ITS EXTREMITIES, REACHED ALMOST TO THE RIVER MEUSE,  IT CLOSED IN THE FINAL WEEK OF JANUARY 1945.  THE FAR OBJECT OF THE GERMAN ENEMY WAS TO BE THE PORT OF ANTWERP.

3. THE BATTLE BEGAN WITH FOG AND DARKNESS.  THE THIN DEFENDING LINE WAS OVERWHELMED AND BROKEN UNDER WEIGHT OF FIRE AND METAL.  THE ARDENNES DOOR LAY OPEN.
THROUGH THESE GREAT GAPS IN THE LINE THE SPEARHEADS WERE ADVANCING TOWARDS ST. VITH FROM BOTH FLANKS AROUND THE SCHNEE EIFEL TOWARDS BASTOGNE, AFTER LEAPING THE RIVER OUR.
OF RESERVES, THE THEATER HAD BUT TWO DIVISIONS, UNDERMANNED AND UNDEREQUIPPED.  IN THE NORTH NEAR MANSCHAU THERE IS A RIDGE CALLED ELSENBORN WHICH IS NATURE’S BASTION . . .

4. . . .  GUARDING THE ROAD TO LIEGE AND THE FAR-OFF PORT.  IN THE VERY HOUR WHEN THE ENEMY LOOSENED HIS LIGHTNING, AN AMERICAN CORPS WAS ATTACKING THIS GROUND.  AS THE SHOCK OF THE ENEMY GUNS AND ARMOR FELL ON THESE DIVISIONS THEIR RIGHT FLANK FOLDED BACK AND STOOD FAST ON THE HEIGHTS OF ELSENBORN.  ON THE HILLS NEAR MONSCHAU, THE LINE OF AMERICAN GUNS BEAT TIME WITH THIS MOVEMENT, AND THEIR FIRE WITHERED THE ENEMY CORPS ON THE RIGHT.  TOGETHER THE WORKING OF THESE FORCES AT THE BEGINNING DENIED THE ENEMY HIS CHANCE TO EXPAND HIS SALIENT TOWARDS THE GREAT

5.  . . . CITIES AND THE SEA.
FROM OUT OF THE NORTH AMERICAS ARMOR RODE TO ST. VITH AT FIRST A COMBAT TEAM AND THEN A DIVISION.  FROM OUT OF THE SOUTH A GARRISON RODE FOR BASTOGNE.  IT COUNTED ONE AIRBORNE DIVISION AND A TEAM OF ARMOR ON THE GROUND.  IT WOULD LINK WITH A BATTALION OF TANK DESTROYERS SENT FROM THE NORTH.  RIGHT UNDER THE GUNS THE ODDMENTS JOINED THE FIGHTING,  REPAIRMEN, CLERKS, POLICE, AND DRIVERS OF TRUCKS.  THEY PICKED UP ARMS AND MOVED TO A THREATENED CROSSROADS OR BLEW A BRIDGE OR GUARDED THE PRECIOUS STORES.  IN BRITAIN THE NEWLY ARRIVED FORMATIONS . . .

6.  . . . WERE ALERTED TO GO BY AIR TO DEFEND THE LINE OF THE MEUSE.  THE BASE OF SUPPLY IN FRANCE REORGANIZED TO FEED THE BATTLE.  ITS CONVOYS GOING ELSEWHERE WERE HALTED AND FACED ABOUT.   AT ST. VITH THE ENEMY ALREADY SWARMED OVER THE COUNTRY BUT THE RESCUING ARMOR ARRIVED IN TIME TO BLOCK THE ROAD, BLUNT THE BLOW, AND CRIPPLE THE ENEMY POWER DURING THE CRISIS HOURS.  THE SPEARHEAD OF THE PANZER ARMY IN THE NORTH ROLLED OFF THE FLANK OF THIS DEFENSE AND ON PAST STAVELOT. THEN, IN THE DEFILES BEYOND THE RIVER AMBLEVE, IT WAS TRAPPED AND HELD BY THE . . .

7.  . . .NEW FORCES OF THE COUNTER ATTACK. THE FIGHTING WAS WITHIN TWENTY MILES OF LIEGE.  THE RACE TO BASTOGNE WAS WON BY THE AMERICAN COLUMN.  IT CLOSED IN JUST IN TIME.  THE FIGHTING BEGAN BEFORE DEFENDERS COULD TAKE POSITION.  THEY ORGANIZED UNDER FIRE FROM ENEMY GUNS.  IN THIS WAY BEGAN THE SIEGE NOW FAMED IN HISTORY.  THE LINES OF BASTOGNE HELD FIRM, THOUGH THE STORM BEAT ALL AROUND.   BY DIRECT ASSAULT THE ENEMY ARMORED CORPS TRIED TO GAIN THE CITY.   ITS MEN AND METAL WERE DRIVEN BACK AT EVERY POINT.  AND SO THE DEFEATED ARMOR FLOWED ON AROUND BASTOGNE . . .

8.  . . . STILL SEEKING TO GAIN THE LINE OF THE RIVER MEUSE.  ITS SPEARPOINT REACHED ALMOST TO THE DOOR OF DINANT BEFORE IT WAS STOPPED BY THE FIRE OF THE NEW AMERICAN LINE.  THE DEFEAT OF THIS SOUTHERN PANZER ARMY WAS MADE SURE BY THE STAND OF BASTOGNE.  TO THE SOUTH OF THE BULGE, AN AMERICAN ARMY HAD BEEN ATTACKING EASTWARD.  IT WAS CALLED NOW TO HALT AND WHEEL TO THE NORTH.  ITS NEAREST CORPS MOVED OUT UPON THIS MISSION.  FROM OUT OF THE CORPS, ONE DIVISION STRUCK TOWARDS BASTOGNE.  THE WEATHER AT LAST TURNED COLD.  THE LOSS FROM . . .

9.  . . . EXPOSURE GREW GREAT AS THE LOSS FROM FIRE.  ATTACKING IN SNOWSUITS, THE ENEMY COULD SCARCELY BE SEEN.  BASTOGNE BECAME THE CHIEF PRIZE IN THE DAILY STRUGGLE, AS MEN FOUGHT FOR SHELTER AND FOR WARMTH.  THE FOLK OF THE ARDENNES OPENED THEIR HEARTS AND HEARTHS TO THE DEFENDERS.  THEY SHARED WITH THEM THEIR FOOD, THEIR BLANKETS, AND THEIR FUEL.  THEY TORE UP THEIR BEDSHEETS FOR USE IN CONCEALING MEN AND WEAPONS.  THEY NURSED THE WOUNDED AND HELPED TO COMFORT THE ILL.  BY CHRISTMAS EVE, THE ENEMY KNEW THAT HIS PLAN WAS DEFEATED.  BUT THERE WAS NO SUDDEN STRATEGIC RETREAT.  EVERY HILL . . .

10.  . . . AND ROADWAY HAD TO BE RE-WON BY FIREPOWER AND BY PAYING A PRICE IN THE LIVES OF VALIANT MEN.  IN THE BATTLE FOUGHT HERE, 76,890 AMERICANS WERE KILLED OR WOUNDED, OR WERE MARKED MISSING.  SELDOM HAS MORE AMERICAN BLOOD BEEN SPILLED IN THE COURSE OF A SINGLE BATTLE.  THE NUMBER OF BELGIANS WHO DIED OR SUFFERED WOUNDS OR GREAT PRIVATION HELPING THESE FRIENDS FROM OVERSEAS IN THE COMMON DEFENCE CANNOT BE KNOWN . . . OF THESE DEAD AND OF ALL WHO FOUGHT HERE, THE NOW LIVING MAY ATTEST THE GREATNESS OF THE DEED ONLY BY INCREASED DEVOTION TO THE FREEDOM FOR WHICH THEY BRAVED THE FIRE.

George Walter Terwilliger (February 27, 1882 – December 12, 1970) was an American film director, screenwriter, and journalist. He worked in both the silent and sound eras, directing at least 76 productions between 1912 and 1936. He also wrote scores of screenplays for films released between 1910 and 1939. In 1912 alone, he was contracted by Lubin film studio to write one story a week for the company.

Early life and journalism
Born in Manhattan in 1882, George Terwilliger was the middle child of three children of James G. and Catherine A. (née Graves) Terwilliger. By 1900 his father, who worked as a clerk for the Central Railroad of New Jersey, had moved the family to the township of Linden in that state. Young George received a relatively modest education, completing just two years of high school before quitting to find a job and a career. He was still living at his parents' home in New Jersey in 1900, but he soon returned to Manhattan, where he was hired by The New York Dramatic Mirror to work as an editor and writer. The Mirror, a weekly, provided some traditional news reports but focused on covering the world of theatre, reviewing stage acts, and Broadway plays. The newspaper in the first years of the twentieth century only allotted occasional coverage to the emerging industry of motion pictures, a relatively small patch of entertainment that The Mirror and many others in the New York media regarded then as a passing oddity, a "queer freak", that did not warrant considerable print.

Around 1910, Terwilliger left The Mirror after working there for nine years to accept a job at The Morning Telegraph, another long-established New York weekly newspaper. The Telegraph contained general news and financial reports, although it specialized in theatrical coverage and horse-racing. Early on, it established too a department at the paper devoted specifically to covering motion pictures. Terwilliger spent only a year with The Telegraph, but during that time he significantly expanded its film department's staff and operations. He also wrote reviews and film-related features under the pen name "Gordon Trent". To supplement his limited income as an employee of newspapers published just once a week, Terwilliger wrote and edited stories, and sold "scenarios" to Biograph Studios in the Bronx such as The Lucky Toothache in 1910 and The Battle, directed by D. W. Griffith and released in 1911.

Selected filmography
Terwilliger served as both screenwriter and director on many film projects during his long career and as a cast member in a few productions. The following is just a partial list of his films.

LOLCODE is an esoteric programming language inspired by lolspeak, the language expressed in examples of the lolcat Internet meme. The language was created in 2007 by Adam Lindsay, a researcher at the Computing Department of Lancaster University.

The language is not clearly defined in terms of operator priorities and correct syntax, but several functioning interpreters and compilers exist. One interpretation of the language has been proven Turing-complete.

Language structure and examples

LOLCODE's keywords are drawn from the heavily compressed (shortened) patois of the lolcat Internet meme. Here follow a "Hello, World!" program and a simple program to output a file to a monitor. Similar code was printed in the Houston Chronicle.

 :) represents a newline (\n)
 :> represents a tab (\t)
 :o represents a bell character (\a)
 :" represents a literal double quote (")
 :: represents a single literal colon (:)
 :(<hex>) converts a single hexadecimal Unicode code point to local environment encoding (for example, UTF-8)
 :{<variable>} interpolates the value of the enclosed variable, cast as a string
 :[<character name>] converts normative name of a single Unicode character to local environment encoding

Example 1
HAI 1.2
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

Example 2
HAI 1.2
CAN HAS STDIO?
PLZ OPEN FILE "LOLCATS.TXT"?
    AWSUM THX
        VISIBLE FILE
    O NOES
        INVISIBLE "ERROR!"
KTHXBYE

In this example, commands to open a file (PLZ OPEN FILE "NAME"?—"Please open this file?"), and error handling (AWSUM THX—"Awesome, thanks!", and O NOES—"Oh no!") are introduced.

Other commands include I HAS A variable for declaring variables, variable R value ("variable [is/are/being] value") for assigning them, sending error messages to the front end via INVISIBLE instead of VISIBLE, and BTW ("by the way") to denote a comment, making the parser ignore the rest of the line.

Loops are created with  (inspired by the "Im in ur noun, verbing yr related noun" LOLcat meme), and ended with . Loops can be broken with the keyword ENUF ("enough"), or in older versions, GTFO. Loops can also be ended with the conditional IZ command, as demonstrated in the next example.

Example 3
HAI 1.0
CAN HAS STDIO?
I HAS A VAR
IM IN YR LOOP
    UP VAR!!1
    VISIBLE VAR
    IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 10? KTHX
IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE

This simple program displays the numbers 1–11 and terminates (as of specification 1.0). The same program as of specification 1.2 is (assuming VAR starts at 0):

HAI 1.2
CAN HAS STDIO?
IM IN YR LOOP UPPIN YR VAR TIL BOTH SAEM VAR AN 10
    VISIBLE SUM OF VAR AN 1
IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE

Example 4
HAI 1.0
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "U SEE THIS"

BTW VISIBLE "U SEE NOTHING"

OBTW
VISIBLE "U SEE NOTHIN"
VISIBLE "U STIL SEE NOTHIN"
TLDR

VISIBLE "U SEE THIS"
KTHXBYE
The above example will return the following:
U SEE THIS
U SEE THIS
This is because line 3 outputs U SEE THIS but line 5 is ignored due to the fact that it is commented out by the BTW keyword. Lines 8 and 9 aren't run because they are in a multiline comment that starts in line 7, and ends on line 10. Line 12 outputs U SEE THIS and line 13 terminates the program.

Implementations

The most recent and up-to-date interpreter for the LOLCODE language is lci, written in C by Justin Meza.  It interprets LOLCODE efficiently on a variety of platforms.

The first LOLCODE implementation was a PHP parser written by Jeff Jones. The parser's website was also the first website using LOLCODE as an actual web scripting language. Being open source with a BSD style licence, it has been forked and used by multiple websites to implement LOLCODE scripting. The winning Pecha Kucha presentation at PHP Works 2008 was about this parser.

There is a .NET compiler for LOLCODE written by Nick Johnson, and featured in Microsoft developer training seminars, TechEd 2007 Conference (Australia).

PL/LOLCODE, a project headed by Josh Tolley, makes LOLCODE available as a server-side programming language inside PostgreSQL.

Microsoft Dynamic Language Runtime has an implementation of LOLCODE for testing purposes.

lolcode-java (A Java grammar / interpreter for the LOLCODE programming language) is a project also available but it appears to not yet be compliant with the version 1.3 specification.

A LOLCODE to JavaScript translator is also available.

There is also a LOLCODE compiler included with the Parrot virtual machine as one of the languages demonstrating the use of Parrot's compiler tools.

A compiler, virtual machine and debugger, created by Piper, for a LoLCode like language, LoLCode 1337, written in C.

A version for parallel and distributed computing can be found.

Related projects
LOLCODE has also inspired LOLPython, written by Andrew Dalke.  LOLPython uses LOL-inspired syntax similar to that of LOLCODE, but with a Python-like style.  It operates by translating the LOLPython source into Python code.

ArnoldC is an offshoot of LOLCODE that replaces lolspeak with quotes from different Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.

The Canada Wildlife Act (the Act) is a statute of the Government of Canada. It specifies the requirements for a geographic area in Canada to be designated a National Wildlife Area by the Canadian Wildlife Service division of Environment Canada.

Description
"The purpose of wildlife areas is to preserve habitats that are critical to migratory birds and other wildlife species, particularly those that are at risk." Further, the Wildlife Area Regulations, a component of the Canada Wildlife Act, identifies activities which are prohibited on such areas because they may harm a protected species or its habitat. In some circumstances, land use permits may be granted to individuals, organizations, or companies if the intended use is compatible with conservation of the area. Personal activities such as "hiking, canoeing, photography and bird watching can be carried out without a permit in most areas".

The Act received Royal Assent in 1973. Areas subject to the Act may be designated National Wildlife Areas. These ensure that vital habitat for bird and wildlife species, especially those that are endangered or threatened, is preserved. Before the 1960s, the primary threat to such species was physical disturbance and hunting. By the 1970s the major threat was habitat destruction and alteration.

Merlin's Wood; or, The Vision of Magic is a short novel by British writer Robert Holdstock, first published in the United Kingdom in 1994. The novel is considered part of the Mythago Wood cycle, but takes place in Brittany, France instead of Herefordshire, England. The work has all new characters and focuses on the mythical birthplace and burial site of Merlin, the magical wood Brocéliande. Brocéliande is a smaller version of Ryhope wood where British myth predominates.

In addition to the short novel, Merlin's Wood, the 1994 edition features two tales, "Earth and Stone" and "The Silvering". The 2009 edition contains the tales "Scarrowfell", "Thorn", "Earth and Stone", and the novella "The Bone Forest".

Conception
According to the author the work is influenced by Tennyson's Idylls of the King and Joseph Campbell's The Masks of God. The theme of the novel is 'the stealing of power.' The story provides a locale that ties in with the past experiences of Harry Keeton in Mythago Wood and echoes the story of Arnauld Lacan in The Hollowing.

Plot

The main novel is divided into four distinct parts. In the first part, Martin and Rebecca return to the outskirts of Brocéliande, an enchanted forest in Brittany where they grew up as children approximately 15 years earlier. They have returned for the funeral of their mother. Despite being warned to leave by family and local friends, they stay to settle the estate and take up residence in their childhood home.

Martin and Rebecca share stories of the past, some of which involve playing on the path exiting Brocéliande and dancing inside the ghosts that emerge from the forest. As a child, Rebecca gained the gift of song from an encounter with a ghostly troubadour on the path. She later used this gift of song in Australia to bring back her drowned lover, Flynn, from the dead. Conrad, an old man who lives in the woods, relates to Martin a well-kept secret version of the death of Martin's younger brother as a child. Conrad tells how Rebecca became a possessed half-man/half-wolf who fatally mauled the child.

Despite being wary of Rebecca, Martin becomes romantically involved with her, marries her, and together they parent a beautiful boy named Daniel who is deaf, dumb and blind. As they raise Daniel it becomes apparent that Rebecca is slowly losing her sensory perceptions and faculties while Daniel is gaining them. Rebecca first loses her musical ability, then her vision fades, then her speech becomes simplistic, and finally she loses almost all self-awareness. Meanwhile, Daniel progresses from being deaf and blind to singing, speaking, seeing and finally possessing a supernatural sense of hearing. Unknowingly the family has become entangled in an age-old struggle between Merlin and Vivien, wherein a part of Vivien's spirit inhabits Daniel while a part of Merlin's spirit inhabits Rebecca. Martin physically confronts Daniel, but realizes he is physically outmatched and retreats. He also asks Father Gualzator to perform an exorcism on Rebecca, but his request is refused.

Daniel and Rebecca disappear into the forest and Martin discovers them dead by drowning. In an attempt to save them, Martin travels deeper into the heart of Brocéliande in search of Merlin. After traveling across a mystical lake, Father Gualzator assists Martin in freeing Merlin from his underground tomb. Merlin emerges and animates the corpse of Conrad and, as a revenant, communicates with Martin. Merlin recounts his age old struggle with Vivien while Martin pleads with Merlin to bring his family members back to life.

During their conversations, Merlin describes a Hollowing as an area "of no magic." Merlin also explains the origin of the ghosts on the path - they represent his magical powers, purposely divested to prevent Vivien from stealing them. Merlin recounts the seven essential powers of magic:
 Song - the oldest power which creates life and landscape
 "Moving stones by the power of hidden water"
 "Flying to and from the hinterlands of the Otherworld"
 "Connecting the parts of the beast, both hard and soft"
 "Understanding of the human spirit as sustenance for mind and body"
 "The movement of awareness between the soft and hard forms of life"
 "To control, to contain, to employ the vision, hearing and dreams of children".

After a number of conversations lasting over a period of days, Merlin refuses to bring Daniel or Rebecca back to life. As a final blow, he takes possession of Martin's body.

Short stories

"Earth and Stone"
This story first appeared in a 1980 work titled Interfaces, edited by Ursula K. Le Guin and Virginia Kidd. Earth and Stone was subsequently revised for inclusion in Merlin's Wood to take into account archaeological discoveries made in the interim.
This short story takes place in Ireland where six-thousand-year-old earthen mounds, or tumuli and monumental carved stones mark various tombs. The specific area is Knowth in the valley of the River Boyne in Ireland.

The protagonist, John Farrel, who is in his late 20s, travels back in time (from a presumed future date when time travel is possible) to the third millennium BC to investigate first-hand the archaeological sites to-be. The story takes place over the period of seventeen days. The story is told in episodic form and switches back and forth from first person narratives (relayed to the future in eight separate transmissions) to third person narratives. Farrel plans to meet a fellow archaeologist, Burton, in the past, but soon learns that Burton is missing or dead from Tig, a lone boy from an abandoned local village. (Holdstock also has used Tig as the name of a mythago who briefly appeared in Mythago Wood and played a prominent role guarding a mausoleum and creating mischief in Lavondyss.) Farrel's conversations with Tig are conducted in an awkward megalithic or Stone Age language. The narrative provides parenthetical translations of the conversations throughout the story. Eventually John is led to a necropolis where the members of the village have been buried in shallow graves, yet remain alive due to highly suppressed metabolisms. Eventually these villagers wake, bathe and take up building the largest of the local tumuli. John discovers Burton buried as well, but determines Tig has murdered him with a sharp femur bone. John fears for his life, but is not murdered by Tig. Rather, he is compelled to be buried himself and comes to grips with being buried alive before it happens. Once buried alive, he absorbs the wisdom of dying gods including Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Sky, Serpent, etc. Upon waking he has been greatly enlightened and has no intention of returning to the future. He then joins the local villagers in building the tumulus, or temple to the earth.

"The Silvering"
This short story first appeared in a 1992 work titled Narrow Houses, edited by Peter Crowther. The Silvering is a reference to one of the ten wooden masks Tallis Keeton creates in Lavondyss.

In this story the protagonist, Peterson, is the lone survivor of a bomber crash. Peterson saves himself by parachuting to a small deserted island while his companions crash headlong into the nearby ocean. Peterson lives in a small dwelling which he has built from bits of flotsam and materials brought to him by selkies, a mythic race of creatures who can transform themselves from humans into seals (and back again) by using an external skin as a mechanism for transformation. In "The Silvering: if this does not happen in a timely manner, an inner wood-based self (called a nagig) will destructively shed the humanoid exterior and the creature will take root as a tree. Peterson has been stealing and hiding the skins from selkies as they emerge from the ocean to prevent their return to the ocean. However, he eventually falls in love with one of the selkies who returns to land every year for several years to be with him. Eventually she fails to appear, and Peterson tricks another selkie out of her skin and dons it himself, undergoing a painful transformation in order to become aquatic himself and search the sea for his missing love. It turns out she has morphed into a killer whale and eats him before entering another phase of metamorphosis herself.

Critical commentary
Critical reaction to Merlin's Wood has been mixed. One anthologist asserts that within the fantasy genre of literature, Merlin's Wood has been considered essential reading because "Holdstock is a writer who has traveled deeper into the woods than any other mythic writer." However, another writer states "the overall narrative is flawed, distorted by its weight of undeserved loss and inaccessible healing."

Terri Windling selected Merlin's Wood as one of the best fantasy books of 1994, describing it as "a hauntingly beautiful short novel . . . [containing a] rich mix of myth, history, and anthropological lore."

Antoinette Thérèse Elfforss (née Öberg; 30 November 1823   –  16 April 1905) was a Swedish stage actress and theatre director.  She was the managing director of the travelling Elfforss Theater Company between 1869 and 1888.

Background
Thérèse Elfforss was born in Stockholm, the daughter of the factory owner Anders Öberg and Maria Elisabeth Kannström. She was a student of the school of the Royal Swedish Ballet from 1837 and the Royal Dramatic Training Academy from 1839.

Career
She was active at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in 1837–42. Between 1842 and 1846, she was active at the Nya Teatern.  In 1847, she married the actor Lars Erik Elfforss (1817-1869), director of his own recently formed theater company. Subsequently, she performed under the name Thérèse Elfforss.  She was an actress with the travelling Elfforss Theater Company and from 1886 to 1888 served as its director.
She took over the leadership of the theater company during her husband's illness and formally after his death in 1869.

As an actress, Thérèse Elfforss started in roles as ingenue and heroine but moved on to character roles in modern Nordic and foreign plays of the new realistic movement. According to a critic: "Her performances was characterized by spirituality, fine details, lively vitality", and in recognition of her ability, she was given the sobriquet "The Elise Hwasser of the countryside", after the renowned actress of the Royal Dramatic Theatre, who was at that time regarded the greatest actress in Sweden.

Thérèse Elfforss enjoyed great respect during her career, particularly in her capacity as a director:
"Mrs E. was the most noted women theater director in 19th-century Sweden, and the Elfforss company was regarded as the best travelling theater in the nation during the 1870s and 1880s. The repertoire as well as the acting was of the highest level, and the director was widely respected and loved for her excellent personal virtues. As regard to the financial side of the affairs Mrs E. would likely be uncontested among all travelling theater directors. She belong to the very few among them, who were able to leave a small fortune at her passing."

As director, she focused on Nordic plays, such as Swedish plays by F. A. Dahlgren, C. Axel Anrep,  Emilie Lundberg, but also Lorentz Dietrichson, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and Ibsen.  Her greatest financial success was, however, Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne, and she also staged less serious operettas, because "During the grand days of the Elfforss company in the 1870s and 1880s, the taste for operettas was so great that such an economic and practical director as Mrs E. could scarcely ignore it."

Her company performed with success at the  Djurgårdsteatern  at Djurgården in Stockholm, and toured Finland in 1869, 1870, 1874, 1877 and 1878.

In 1888, she transformed the leadership to stage director and theatre manager  August Lindberg (1846–1916)  after which the theater company changed its name to the Lindeberg Theater Company. She  continued to perform in the Lindeberg company until 1893.  Between 1890 and 1893, the Lindeberg company staffed the Stora Teatern in Gothenburg.   When the Lindeberg company was dissolved in 1893, she retired with her son Julius Erik Engelbrekt Elfforss  (1847- 1925) to Stockholm  where she died in 1905.

Election to the Football League
As winners of the Alliance Premier League, Enfield won the right to apply for election to the Football League to replace one of the four bottom sides in the 1985–86 Football League Fourth Division. The vote went as follows:

As a result Enfield did not gain membership of the Football League. This was the final season in which the team who won the Conference National had to apply for election to the Football League, and from the 1986–87 season onward the winning team was automatically promoted, on the provision that they met the various conditions that the Football League set for all its members.

Solomon Carter Fuller (August 11, 1872 – January 16, 1953) was a pioneering Liberian neurologist, psychiatrist, pathologist, and professor. Born in Monrovia, Liberia, he completed his college education and medical degree (MD) in the United States. He studied psychiatry in Munich, Germany, then returned to the United States, where he worked for much of his career at Westborough State Hospital in Westborough, Massachusetts.

In 1919, Fuller became part of the faculty at Boston University School of Medicine where he taught pathology. He made significant contributions to the study of Alzheimer's disease during his career. He also had a private practice as a physician, neurologist, and psychiatrist.

Early life and education
Solomon Fuller was born in Monrovia, Liberia to Americo-Liberian parents of African American descent. His father, Solomon, had become a coffee planter in Liberia and an official in its government. His mother, Anna Ursala (reported also as Ursilla or Ursula) James, was the daughter of physicians and medical missionaries. His paternal grandparents, John Lewis Fuller and his wife, had been slaves in Virginia. John Fuller bought his and his enslaved wife's freedom and they moved to the city of Norfolk, Virginia. The couple emigrated from there to Liberia in 1852, to a colony set up in West Africa by the American Colonization Society beginning earlier in the century. They helped establish the nation developed by African Americans and liberated African slaves.

Fuller's mother set up a school to teach Solomon and other children in the area. Fuller also studied at the College Preparatory School of Monrovia.

He had a keen interest in medicine given that his maternal grandparents were medical missionaries in Liberia. Fuller moved to the United States to study at Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina, graduating in 1893. Later he attended Long Island College Medical School.

He completed his MD degree in 1897 from Boston University School of Medicine. It was a homeopathic institution open to students of all races and genders. He pursued further research at the Royal Psychiatric Hospital of the University of Munich, Germany, conducting research under Emil Kraepelin and Alois Alzheimer.

Career
Fuller spent the majority of his career practicing as a neuropathologist at Westborough State Hospital in Westborough, Massachusetts. This is where he completed a two-year internship in neuropathology prior to being selected by Alois Alzheimer to conduct novel research at the Royal Psychiatric Hospital at the University of Munich, led by Emil Kraepelin. While there, he performed ground-breaking research on the physical changes that occur in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. Approximately one year later, he returned to Westborough State Hospital with his new knowledge. He developed and edited the Westborough State Hospital Papers, a journal that began publishing results of local research.

He worked with Alois Alzheimer, the psychiatrist credited with publishing the first case of presenile dementia. While working as a clinical pathologist, Fuller noted that amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles may be significant biomarkers for the study of Alzheimer's disease, separate from arteriosclerosis, the then-assumed cause of disease.

Fuller worked with patients with chronic alcoholism, noting the neuropathology of the disease. In 1909, Fuller was a speaker at the Clark University Conference organized by G. Stanley Hall, which was attended by such notable scientists and intellectuals as anthropologist Franz Boaz, psychiatrists Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, philosopher William James, and Nobel laureates Ernest Rutherford and Albert A. Michelson. Fuller's seminal publications, a two-part review of Alzheimer's disease, came in 1912 and was the first English translation of the first Alzheimer's case. Many of Fuller's contributions to the scientific literature were forgotten for decades, but his discoveries continue to guide research today.

In 1919, Fuller left Westborough State Hospital to join the faculty at Boston University School of Medicine. He served as an associate professor until 1933, at which time he left academia after recognizing racial disparities in the salary and promotion processes of his time. Upon retirement from academia, however, he received the title of Emeritus Professor of Neurology at Boston University. He continued in private practice as a physician, neurologist, and psychiatrist for many years.

When the Veterans Administration opened the Tuskegee Veterans Administration Medical Center after World War I with an entirely black staff, Fuller was instrumental in recruiting and training black psychiatrists for key positions.

Personal life
For most of his life, Fuller lived in  Framingham, Massachusetts with his wife, the sculptor Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller. They had three children. After losing his eyesight in 1944, Fuller was unable to continue practicing and passed away in 1953, at the age of 81 years, due to advanced diabetes and gastrointestinal malignancy.

Legacy and honors
The Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center, located at 85 E Newton Street in Boston, is named after him. It forms part of the Boston Medical Center, the primary teaching affiliate for Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine.
In the early 1970s, the American Psychiatric Association established a Solomon Carter Fuller Award lecture at its annual meetings.
Fuller Middle School, named after him and his wife, a noted sculptor, is located in Framingham, Massachusetts. The school's history reads:

Dr. Solomon Fuller Way, on the site of the former Westborough State Hospital, is named after him.

Johannes Adrianus Maria (Hans) van Tongeren (18 January 1955, Breda – 25 August 1982, Amsterdam) was a Dutch movie actor, who made his debut in the 1980 Paul Verhoeven movie Spetters.

Van Tongeren was born in Breda and was recommended to Joop van den Ende for the role of "Rien" in Spetters by casting-director Hans Kemna. The character Rien is a talented motocrosser who is paralyzed in an accident and dies by suicide. Spetters was a very successful movie and van Tongeren was cast afterwards for several Dutch movies.

In 1982 Van Tongeren played a minor role with Peter Gallagher and Daryl Hannah in the American movie Summer Lovers. Van Tongeren had been admitted to mental hospitals several times; according to the Dutch media he identified too much with his roles. On 25 August 1982 he died by suicide, just after having been cast in a Nouchka van Brakel film after the novel Van de koele meren des doods by Frederik van Eeden, in which he would again have played a person planning to die by suicide.

Thomas Smythe or Smith of London, Ashford and Westenhanger, Kent (1522–7 June 1591) was the collector of customs duties (also known as a "customer") in London during the Tudor period, and a member of parliament for five English constituencies. His son and namesake, Sir Thomas Smythe (died 1625), was the first governor of the East India Company, treasurer of the Virginia Company, and an active supporter of the Virginia colony.

Family
Thomas Smythe, born in 1522, was the second son of John Smythe (d. 1538) and Joan Brouncker, the daughter of Robert Brouncker of Melksham, Wiltshire. John, a substantial yeoman and clothier of Corsham, Wiltshire, left Smythe a farm in the Hundred of Amesbury, Wiltshire, that provided an annual income of £20. After his father's death, Smythe moved to London to seek his fortune; Smythe was approximately 16 at the time.

Career
Smythe joined his father's merchant guild, the Haberdashers, and then the Worshipful Company of Skinners. In 1550, Smythe developed a close connection with Sir Andrew Judde, Lord Mayor of London. About four years later, Smythe married Judde's daughter, Alice Judde.

During the reign of Mary I of England, Smythe purchased the Office of the Customs from one Mr. Cocker for £2,500. He was confirmed in his appointment at the Customs on the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558, and he continued in the office for 11 years. In 1567, he appears to have incurred her Majesty's severe displeasure, having been accused of issuing privy warrants leading to a £6,000 loss; his friend William Cecil, Lord Burghley, intervened and helped Smythe escape imprisonment. Cecil persuaded the Queen to be lenient, arguing that if Smythe was allowed more time he would repay this loss.

Elizabeth began to require larger and larger fines to renew Smythe's leases in order to replenish her exchequer. Over time, Smythe became unable to meet these demands and again fell under her Majesty's severe displeasure. His October 1589 counteroffer of a more modest payment was rejected. Due to his increasing infirmities and perhaps the stress of trying to meet the Queen's demands, Smythe died 18 months later, on 7 June 1591, leaving his widow, then 60 years old, 6 sons and 6 daughters.

Smythe was a member of parliament (MP) for Tavistock October 1553, for Aylesbury April 1554, Rye November 1554, Winchelsea 1555, and Portsmouth 1563.

Marriage and issue

Thomas Smythe had 13 children with his wife, Alice Judde. They are as follows:

Andrew Smythe, eldest son, who died an infant.
Sir John Smythe (1557–1608), second son, of Ostenhanger, in 1576 married Elizabeth Fineaux (daughter of Sir John Fineaux, Chief Justice of the King's Bench).
Sir Thomas Smythe (1558–1625), who married firstly, Judith Culverwell, the daughter of Richard Culverwell; secondly Joan Hobbs, the daughter of William Hobbs; and thirdly, Sarah Blount, the daughter of William Blount. He had no issue by his first two marriages; by his third marriage he had three sons and a daughter. His widow, Sarah, married Robert Sidney, 1st Earl of Leicester.
Henry Smythe of Corsham (d. before 1591) married Elizabeth Owen (daughter of Thomas Owen, Justice of the Peace).
Sir Richard Smythe (d. 1628), also said to have been of Leeds Castle, who married firstly Elizabeth Scott, the daughter of Sir Thomas Scott (and widow of John Knatchbull), and in 1589 married Jane White (daughter of John White of London, widow of Samuel Thornhill).
Sir Robert Smythe of Leeds Castle, fourth son, who married Elizabeth Scott, the daughter of Thomas Scott of Scott's Hall, Kent.
Symon Smythe, killed at the siege of Cadiz in 1596. Also said to be of Highgate, and to have married Ann Lynford (daughter of William Lynford).
Elizabeth Smythe, who was unmarried at the time of Smythe's death in 1591, and later married Sir Henry Fanshawe (son of Thomas Fanshawe who married secondly Sir Henry's wife's sister).
Mary Smythe, who married Robert Davy or Davis of London, Receiver for Wales.
Joan Smythe, who married Thomas Fanshawe, Esquire of Ware Park (d. 1601).
Katherine Smythe, who married, at age sixteen, Sir Rowland Hayward, Lord Mayor of London in 1571, then Sir John Scott (1570-1616) of Nettlestead, Kent, son of Sir Thomas Scott of Scot's Hall in Kent and Elizabeth Baker of Sissinghurst; her mural monument survives in Nettlestead Church. Thirdly to Sir Richard Sandys.
Alice Smythe, who married William Harris, also said to have been Sir William Harris of Crixes, Woodham, Essex.
Ursula Smythe, who married William Butler. Also said to have married Simon Harding of London, then secondly marrying William Boteler (Butler) of Bedford.

The Migratory Birds Convention Act (also MBCA) is a Canadian law established in 1917 and significantly updated in June 1994 which contains regulations to protect migratory birds, their eggs, and their nests from destruction by wood harvesting, hunting, trafficking and commercialization. A permit is required to engage in any of these activities.

History

In 1909 the federal government established the Advisory Board on Wildlife Protection, which notably included C.G. Hewitt and James Harkin as prominent members. This board would go on to sign the Migratory Bird Convention with the United States because of concern both countries had regarding the uncontrolled hunting of waterfowl and shorebirds. The original MBCA law was passed to satisfy the terms of this agreement with the United States. The updated version includes stronger enforcement and greater penalties. A geographical area may be designated as a Migratory Bird Refuge under this convention; this restricts activities targeting a specified set of birds in that area, but does not protect the land or water features. To establish complete habitat protection, the more stringent requirements of the Canada Wildlife Act are necessary.

Province of Santa Fe Railway (in Spanish: Ferrocarril Provincial de Santa Fe and in French: "Compagnie Française de Chemins de Fer dans la Province de Santa Fe") was a French-owned company that purchased a  railway network built by the provincial government of Santa Fe in Argentina on 10 April 1900 and later extended it in the provinces of Chaco and Córdoba. After nationalisation in 1948 it became part of the state-owned company Belgrano Railway

History

Development

The company had its origins in the signing of a contract between the Santa Fe Provincial government and John G. Meiggs Son & Co. for the construction of a  line north from the city of Santa Fe in the direction of the agricultural colonies. The section from Santa Fe to Rafaela was opened on 1 July 1885 and from Rafaela to Lehmann on 1 May 1886.  Later the same year branch lines were opened from Empalme San Carlos to San Carlos Sur on 1 July and from Santa Fe to Colastiné on 15 October, and the line from Lehman to San Cristóbal was opened on 31 December.  The line from San Carlos Sur to Gálvez  was completed on 1 July 1887 and the following year the line from Humboldt to Providencia was opened on 1 January and extended to Soledad on 1 June.

On 1 January 1888 the line from Coronda to Hessler and from Pilar to Josefina and San Francisco was opened, and on 1 September later that year the lines from Santa Fe to Rosario and to San Justo were opened. The later was the first section of a line which reached Chaco Province in the following stages: Escalada in May 1889, Calchaquí in September 1889, Vera in February 1890 and La Sabena on 1 November 1892. The branch line from Colastiné to Rincón was completed in December 1889.

Until then the property of the Province, the company was transferred on 10 April 1900, by provincial decree, to the "Compañía Francesa de los Ferrocarriles de la Provincia de Santa Fe", the oldest of the three French–owned railway companies in Argentina, formed by the great banque d'affaires Paribas, the steel company Fives Lille and a group of financiers associated with the latter.

In Córdoba the French company opened a line from San Francisco to Villa María on 30 April 1904 and a branch line from Pozo del Molle to Carrilobo was added on 11 September 1907 and later that month on 20 September the line within Chaco Province was extended from La Sabena to Barranqueras. A branch line from Charaday to Oetling was opened on 10 November 1911, from Horquilla to Enrique Urién on 16 August 1912 and on to Villa Angela on 22 December 1914. Branches were added to the main line from Vera to Reconquista on 18 November 1913 and from Km 340 to Villa Guillermina the same year.

Sale to French consortium
The Ferrocarril Santafesino, built and operated by the Santa Fe Province until then, was transferred to French-owned "Compañía Francesa de los Ferrocarriles de la Provincia de Santa Fe" by decree on April 10, 1900. The Compañía Francesa was a consortium formed by Gran Banque d'Affaires Paribas, steel producer Fives Lille and a group of associate financiers.

The recently formed company opened a branch from Virginia to Moisés Ville in December 1901 and two years later, an access to the Port of San Martín.

In Córdoba Province, the San Francisco-Villa María line was opened in April 1904. The Pozo del Molle-Córdoba branch was extended to Carrilobo in September 1907. That same month the line also extended from La Sabana to Barranqueras in Chaco Province.

In 1911 a freight railway was built between Sorrento and the electric power plant owned by the Sociedad de Electricidad del Rosario in Barrio Sarmiento. From Charaday to Oetling the line was opened in November 1911, in August 1912 the Horquilla-Enrique Urién section was opened, reaching Villa Angela in December 1914. The Vera-Reconquista line was opened in November 1913, that same year a branch to Villa Guillermina was also opened.

During the second half of the 1920s the company made a restructuring of the railway, building new access and stations (being Capitán Bermúdez one of them) and a new building for the terminal station in Rosario, opened in 1929. The building would be later closed and reopened as a bus station in 1950.

Other branches built by the company (that totalized 146-km length) include the Lanteri-Las Toscas (72 km), Enrique Urien to Ñandubay (44 km.), and Oetling-Punta Rieles al Norte (30 km).

When the entire Argentine railway network was nationalised in 1948, during Juan Perón's presidency, the FCPSF became part of the state-owned Belgrano Railway

Sir William Roberts (1605–1662), of Neasden House at Willesden in Middlesex, was an English Member of Parliament.

He entered Gray's Inn in 1622, and was knighted in 1624. At the outbreak of the English Civil War he took the Parliamentary side, and was one of the commissioners named to try the king, although he did not take part in the trial. He became a member of the Council of State in 1653, was elected represent Middlesex in the parliaments of 1654 and 1656, and in 1658 was raised to Cromwell's new House of Peers.

In 1646, Roberts had become became one of the contractors to sell church lands, and in 1651 he bought the prebends of Neasden, Oxgate, Harlesden and Chambers and the estate of Westminster Abbey. He had also augmented his estate by his marriage to Eleanor, daughter and heir of Robert Atye, with land in Hampstead and Kilburn. He retained his property after the Restoration, taking leases of the prebends when they reverted to the prebendaries, and leaving a significant fortune on his death.

Some sources mistakenly claim that after the Restoration, Roberts was created a baronet; in fact it was his son, also named William, who was made a baronet (in his father's lifetime), on 4 October 1661.

Salcombe Regis is a coastal village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Sidmouth, in the East Devon district, in the county of Devon, England. Mentioned in the Domesday Book as "a manor called Selcoma" held by Osbern FitzOsbern, bishop of Exeter, the manor house stood on the site now occupied by Thorn Farm. The thorn tree growing in an enclosure at the road junction above the farm marked the cultivation boundary between manor and common ground. In 1951 the parish had a population of 869. On 1 April 1974 the parish was abolished and merged with Sidmouth.

The church of St Peter was built c. 1107 and restored in 1845. It contains monuments to the distinguished scientists Sir Ambrose Fleming and Sir Norman Lockyer, both buried there.

Farmers of North America ("FNA"), incorporated as Farms and Families of North America Inc., has been characterized as a volume-buyer group, but that function is only one of its strategies for meeting its mission, "Maximizing Farm Profitability."

Recent examples unrelated to "volume buying" widely reported in agriculture media include:
 addressing farm profitability "by lowering transportation and transaction costs"
 working to effect regulatory change that contributes to farm profitability
 testifying before Parliament
 working with the CWB, the new private grain company replacing the Canadian Wheat Board
 creating programs to help farmers hire foreign temporary workers
 organizing farmers to create an opportunity for an equity stake in the fertilizer industry
 creating a unique international sales insurance program, "MarketPower Assurance Program" with Atradius

Incorporated in March 1998 by a rural Saskatchewan farm family, with the mission of maximizing farm profitability, the organization has now grown over 10,000 producers representing more than  across Canada. In October 2014, Farmers of North America expanded into the United States.**

The programs FNA negotiates with suppliers include fertilizers, animal health products, grain storage and handling equipment, fencing, agricultural leasing, oils and lubricants, and tires and management services.

The company is noted for bringing in the first import into the Port of Churchill from Russia, as a demonstration of the ability to cheaply import fertilizers to compete with domestic suppliers which they see as overpriced by predatory sellers.
Another example is the port of Wallaceburg, Ontario revived by FNA's suppliers to import competitive fertilizer for Eastern Canada.

FNA is not a cooperative. Nor is it a retailer, manufacturer or distributor. It is a privately owned for-profit company organized as a business alliance of individual farmers.  It describes itself as "a farm business alliance with the mission of 'Maximizing Farm Profitability.'"

In 2012, FNA announced it has formed a limited partnership, FNA Fertilizer Limited Partnership or FNA FLP, with the intention of building a new nitrogen fertilizer plant in Western Canada. FNA FLP is an independent partnership composed of the farmers who fund it.
