A chief strategy officer (CSO) is an executive that usually reports to the CEO and has primary responsibility for strategy formulation and management, including developing the corporate vision and strategy, overseeing strategic planning, and leading strategic initiatives, including M&A, transformation, partnerships, and cost reduction. Some companies give the title of Chief Strategist or Chief Business Officer to its senior executives who are holding the top strategy role.

The need for a CSO position may be a result of CEOs having less time to devote to strategy and/or to CEOs with less experience with developing strategy (e.g., many start up CEOs) along with uncertain and increasingly complex global environments. All of these factors increase the need for professional strategy development. As a result, the position can be seen in fast moving tech companies, as well in academic, and nonprofit organizations. In recent years, the CSO position increased in popularity in highly professional companies with significant growth and scalability ambitions, which is reflected by the high number of US tech companies (nearly 50% of S&P 500 firms) who created CSO positions in their top management teams. According to a 2013 IBM survey, 67% of CEOs named the CSO as a crucial role–second only to the CFO, and more recent examples and studies by major recruiting firms have shown that CSOs had the highest growth in C-Suite positions being directly elevated to the CEO position.

Responsibilities
The CSO is an advisory and a deal making role; both a leader and doer, with the responsibility for understanding and formulating corporate strategy from an operational point of view, as well as ensuring that strategic initiatives and the corporate portfolio of businesses are optimized to support the strategy. The CSO must see the issues confronting the company from as broad a perspective as the chief executive does, and the CSO is often heavily involved in operational day-to-day projects working close together with key staff on business critical initiatives in order to utilise proven leadership capabilities and support less senior team members with coaching and deliver based on the CSO's high capacity project management and execution engine. This unique background takes a multitude of different operating experiences, and must include being both a creative thinker and influential collaborator. In quite a few cases, CSOs may be charged with overall business development including identifying gaps in the business or capabilities portfolios. They then make build, buy, or partner decisions to best fill those gaps.  The Chief Strategy Officer oversees the company's M&A agenda, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, and divestitures. M&A responsibilities include not only identifying, evaluating, structuring and executing deals, but also managing or supporting related aspects to the deal such as financing and post-merger integration. The business development role can also encompass licensing deals and venture capital investments that support the strategic agenda. CSOs are often executives who have worn many hats at a variety of companies before taking on CSO position.

Typical CSO responsibilities include:
Develop a comprehensive, inclusive strategic plan and growth strategy by collaborating with the CEO, senior leadership and the board of directors, which determines the enterprise's overall vision, evaluates the overall business portfolio, and M&A plan
Analyze macroeconomic factors, competitive dynamics, market share changes, organization capabilities (e.g., product line performance), government regulation, and strategic risks
Identify and often execute important capital projects, joint ventures, potential M&A targets and other strategic partnership opportunities.
Driving decision-making that creates medium- and long-term improvement.
Establish and reviewing key strategic priorities and translating them into a comprehensive strategic plan, and monitor the execution of the strategic plan.
Facilitate and driving key strategic initiatives through inception phases
Actively support the CEO and BoD on strategic initiatives and inorganic investments
Oversees the company's M&A agenda and developing and negotiating strategic partnerships and/or divestments.
Ensure departmental/unit strategic planning projects reflect organizational strategic priorities.
Partner with institutional leadership, special committees, and consultants to support execution of key initiatives.

As a senior strategic leader, collaborate with other functions within the organization, specifically:
Collaborate with the communications function and investor relations to message a company's strategy internally and externally
Collaborate the R&D and operations organization by evaluating low-key and pragmatic testing of new tech products from a customer perspective.
Collaborate with the CFO to develop a capital plan in line with the organization's strategy, investment policies, and fund raising plans for acquisitions.

In terms of the CSO's role, which varies significantly from organization to organization and evolves over time, the two basic roles strategy developer and strategy implementer are observable. This dichotomy can be further divided into four CSO archetypes.
Strategic Advisor: focused almost exclusively on strategy formulation, portfolio management and leading strategic initiatives, and is often the primary archetype associated with the CSO.
Financial Advisor: have specialized capital markets deal related skills that are not otherwise present within an organization that can be used to implement inorganic strategic changes. (e.g., M&A, investments, JV, corporate development)
Coach: work to provide information to strategy creators and facilitate communication between teams, team members and stakeholders.
Change Agents: facilitate and enable transformation. This archetype and the coach has evolved into a new c-suite role called a chief transformation officer or overlaps with the chief operating officer role.

Qualifications
CSOs often hold more advanced degrees, commonly a Master of Business Administration (MBA). Many executives holding the top strategy spot have had extensive experience in strategy development often at top management consulting firms, where they can obtain strategy experience across a broad spectrum of industries, c-suite teams, and strategic problems. In addition, many chief strategy officers also have backgrounds outside of strategy such as P&L management, operations, or corporate development in addition to their strategy experience. An HBR study found that the most successful CSOs have some planning, functional, or line-management skills in addition to their core strategy skills before assuming the top strategy role. They tend to have previous work experience at top management consulting firms or strategy-related work at other companies.

Chief Global Strategist
A Chief Global Strategist (CGS) is one of the highest-ranking corporate officers, administrators, corporate administrators, executives, or executive officers, in charge of the global strategy and the domestic and international expansion of a corporation, company, organization, or agency.

The position is relatively new in the private sector, and a reflection of the influence of globalization upon companies and other organizations that seek to expand their influence, whether as a matter of necessity to survive, or the exploration of an opportunity.

A prominent example of a CGS is Howard Schultz of Starbucks Corporation who was Chairman and CEO; however, in 2000 he left the position of CEO to become the Chief Global Strategist. Schultz returned to his previous role as CEO on January 18, 2008.(http://www.starbucks.com/about-us/company-information/starbucks-company-timeline\ | access-date=26 September 2016 | publisher=Starbucks.com)

Sarkis Hovhannesi Kasyan or Kasian (Qosyan,  (), , 1876, Shusha - December 11, 1937) was an Armenian Soviet statesman, politician, publicist and journalist.

He was arrested and later shot in 1937 during the Great Purge. He was posthumously rehabilitated.

Biography
Sarkis Kasyan was born on January 28, 1876, in the town of Shushi (Shusha) in the Elisabethpol Governorate of the Russian Empire. During his childhood, his family moved to Baku, where he attended the Baku Realschule. There, Kasyan began participating in underground student organizations and reading banned literature. He was expelled from school in the seventh grade for disobedience.

Kasyan left for Germany in 1900 and graduated from Leipzig Commercial Institute and the Faculty of Philosophy of Berlin University in 1904. After graduating, he returned to Baku. From 1903 to 1904, he was a supporter of the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party's left wing. He was a member of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party from 1905. He was one of the founders of Armenian Bolshevik press in 1905, and worked at a number of Bolshevik newspapers based in Tiflis (Tbilisi) and Baku. He headed the Tiflis communist party organization from 1912 to 1914. From 1914 to 1917 he was in exile in Astrakhan and Vologda. From 1919 to 1920 he was chairman of the Armenian committee of the Russian Communist (Bolshevik) Party.

Kasyan was one of the signatories of a secret decision made in September 1920 by the leadership of the Communist Party of Armenia which called on members to work to "speed up Armenia's defeat" in the Turkish–Armenian War and "dissolve the Armenian army by all means." From November 1920 he was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Armenia and chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of Armenia. He signed the declaration of the Sovietization of Armenia. On December 2, 1920, Vladimir Lenin sent him a telegram welcoming the establishment of Soviet Armenia.

From 1927 to 1931 he was the chairman of the All-Caucasian Central Executive Committee, and from 1928 to 1930 he was also the chairman of the All-Armenian Central Executive Committee. He was elected a member of the All-Union Central Executive Committee. From 1931 to 1934 he was chairman of the Supreme Court of the Transcaucasian SFSR. In 1937, during the Great Purge, Kasyan was arrested and charged with organizing "a right-wing terrorist organization and armed groups" in Tbilisi in order to assassinate party and government leadership. He was shot on December 11, 1937. He was posthumously rehabilitated.

Besides his own political writings, Kasyan translated works by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels into Armenian. There was a street named after him in Yerevan․ It was changed to Vazgen The First, as people did not like Kasyan for his accomplice with The Soviets.

In mathematics, the Dickson polynomials, denoted , form a polynomial sequence introduced by . They were  rediscovered by  in his study of Brewer sums and have at times, although rarely, been referred to as Brewer polynomials.

Over the complex numbers, Dickson polynomials are essentially equivalent to Chebyshev polynomials with a change of variable, and, in fact, Dickson polynomials are sometimes called Chebyshev polynomials.

Dickson polynomials are generally studied over finite fields, where they sometimes may not be equivalent to Chebyshev polynomials.  One of the main reasons for interest in them is that for fixed , they give many examples of permutation polynomials; polynomials acting as permutations of finite fields.

They have not been studied much, and have properties similar to those of Dickson polynomials of the first kind.

By the recurrence relation above, Dickson polynomials are Lucas sequences.  Specifically, for , the Dickson polynomials of the first kind are Fibonacci polynomials, and Dickson polynomials of the second kind are Lucas polynomials.

By the composition rule above, when α is idempotent, composition of Dickson polynomials of the first kind is commutative.
 The Dickson polynomials with parameter  give monomials.

 The Dickson polynomials with parameter  are related to Chebyshev polynomials  of the first kind by

 Since the Dickson polynomial  can be defined over rings with additional idempotents,  is often not related to a Chebyshev polynomial.

Permutation polynomials and Dickson polynomials
A permutation polynomial (for a given finite field) is one that acts as a permutation of the elements of the finite field.

The Dickson polynomial  (considered as a function of  with α fixed) is a permutation polynomial for the field with  elements if and only if  is coprime to .

 proved that any integral polynomial that is a permutation polynomial for infinitely many prime fields is a composition of Dickson polynomials and linear polynomials (with rational coefficients).    This assertion has become known as Schur's conjecture, although in fact Schur did not make this conjecture.   Since Fried's paper contained numerous errors, a corrected account was given by , and subsequently  gave a simpler proof along the lines of an argument due to Schur.

Further,  proved that any permutation polynomial over the finite field  whose degree is simultaneously coprime to  and less than  must be a composition of Dickson polynomials and linear polynomials.

Generalization
Dickson polynomials of both kinds over finite fields can be thought of as initial members of a sequence of generalized Dickson polynomials referred to as Dickson polynomials of the th kind. Specifically, for  with  for some prime  and any integers  and , the th Dickson polynomial of the th kind over , denoted by , is defined by

George Charamba is the Deputy Chief Secretary-Presidential Communications in the Office of the President of Zimbabwe and former Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information of Zimbabwe. His position makes him the official spokesperson for President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Background
Charamba was appointed to Robert Mugabe's government following the elections of 2000. He is among a set of individuals not allowed to travel to the United States because the Department of the Treasury is of the opinion that they are "undermining democratic processes" in Zimbabwe.

Press Secretary
Following the departure of Jonathan Moyo from the information ministry, Charamba became the de facto government spokesperson and Permanent Secretary (Perm Sec) of the Ministry, usurping the powers of Sikhanyiso Ndlovu. He regularly appears in the government media denouncing the opposition parties, dismissing them as inspired and backed by Western powers. He declared that the "West could go hang a thousand times" in response to Western criticism of Mugabe's re-election.

In 2018, newly elected as President, Emmerson Mnangagwa appointed Nick Mangwana to replace George Charamba as Information and Broadcasting Services Perm Sec.

PSU South/Southwest 6th and College and PSU South/Southwest 5th and Jackson are a pair of light rail stations on the MAX Green, Orange and Yellow Lines in Portland, Oregon. Together, they serve as the southern passenger terminus—one for departures only and the other for arrivals only—of the Portland Transit Mall MAX line.  The stations opened on September 2, 2012.

Although MAX trains began operating regularly past the sites of these stations on August 30, 2009, construction of the stations had yet to begin, because TriMet, operator of the MAX system, was still working with Portland State University officials on finalizing plans to redevelop the block of property adjacent to (and between) the two station sites as transit-oriented development. Those development plans were finalized in 2010, and construction of a new 16-story residence hall on the block began in November 2010, for opening in 2012. For the first three years of MAX service on the Portland Mall, from 2009 to 2012, the PSU Urban Center/Southwest 6th & Montgomery Street and PSU Urban Center/Southwest 5th & Mill Street stations temporarily served as the southern terminus (for passengers) of the Green and Yellow Lines.

The stations are built into the sidewalks of 5th and 6th Avenues, with the 5th Avenue platform being for southbound trains and the 6th Avenue platform for northbound trains. Each extends along the entire block face from Jackson Street to College Street, but their names refer only to the cross street located at the head end of a train stopping there. Except on Orange Line trains, passengers heading southbound are required to disembark at this station. From here, trains then continue south to the turnaround loop located just beyond the station, where layover is taken.  There are two loop tracks immediately south of Jackson Street that allow terminating Green Line trains access to 6th Avenue from 5th, similar to the three-track loop near the Library/Southwest 9th Avenue and Galleria/Southwest 10th Avenue stations. The loop originally had three tracks, but one of them was removed when the Orange Line was built through the station.

In normal service, inbound Orange Line trains become Yellow Line trains upon arrival at this station.

Dorothy Hale (January 11, 1905 – October 21, 1938) was an American socialite and aspiring actress who died by jumping off a building in New York City. Her husband's death, followed by several unsuccessful relationships, had left her financially dependent on her wealthy friends. The artist Frida Kahlo created a famous painting commissioned by Clare Boothe Luce, titled The Suicide of Dorothy Hale.

Early life
Hale was born Dorothy Donovan, the daughter of a real estate agent, in Pittsburgh. In 1919, after attending a convent and a drama school, Hale left home to pursue a career. Her family hired detectives to find her, but she subsequently returned when her funds ran out. With the assistance of friends, she eventually landed a job in the chorus of a Broadway production of Lady, Be Good. According to former NBC News producer Pamela Hamilton, who researched Hale's  life extensively, Fred Astaire offered Hale the role in Lady, Be Good.

While she was studying sculpture in Paris, she married millionaire stockbroker Gaillard Thomas, son of the wealthy gynecologist T. Gaillard Thomas; the brief marriage ended in divorce.

She married Gardner Hale in 1927. Gardner Hale was a fresco, mural, and society portrait artist. During this marriage Dorothy Hale continued moving in creative, sophisticated, and upper-class social circles. In her west coast period, she socialized with artists Miguel Covarrubias, Rosa Rolanda, Frida Kahlo, and photographer Nickolas Muray.

Career
Hale's stage work was limited to several seasons in stock companies and some work as a dancer and Ziegfeld girl. In the summer of 1935, Hale and her friend Rosamond Pinchot, another New York socialite and aspiring actress, opened in Abide with Me, a psychological drama written by their friend Clare Boothe Luce. Though the three friends enjoyed the experience tremendously, the play was panned and it died quietly. Pinchot went on to take her life by carbon monoxide poisoning in January 1938.

Personal life
She lost her husband Gardner Hale when his car went over a Santa Maria cliff in December 1931.

Affairs
Hale was rumored to be romantically linked with Constantin Alajalov, a well-known New York cover artist.

Early in 1933, she and Isamu Noguchi took a Caribbean cruise where he was introduced to many of her wealthy and influential friends from New York, several of whom commissioned portraits, including Luce for a sculpture bust. Noguchi traveled to London and Paris with Hale, hoping to find more patrons. Noguchi had begun a portrait sculpture of Hale, but it was never finished, and its fate is unknown.

In 1934, Hale and Luce accompanied Noguchi on a road trip through Connecticut in a car Noguchi had designed with Buckminster Fuller, the Dymaxion car. The threesome stopped to see Thornton Wilder in Hamden, Connecticut, before going on to Hartford to join Fuller for the out-of-town opening of Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson's Four Saints in Three Acts.

By 1937, Hale was involved in a serious romance with Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator and Franklin D. Roosevelt's top adviser. Anticipating a "White House wedding", Hale moved into Hampshire House, a 27-story apartment building at 150 Central Park South, and began putting together a trousseau.  She died several months after becoming engaged. Gossip soon spread that they had broken off their engagement, but this was never confirmed.

In later years the story began to spread that in 1938, Bernard Baruch advised Hale that at 33 she was too old for a professional career and she should look for a wealthy husband. Baruch even gave her $1,000 with the instructions, "to buy a dress glamorous enough to capture a husband." According to Hale's biographer Pamela Hamilton, there's more to that story.

The tabloid press reported that Hale became despondent over her stalled career, constant debt, and unhappy love life, but according to Hamilton's research, there is no evidence of this; on the contrary, she was looking forward to a "long stay" in Washington, D.C., a role in an upcoming film, and get togethers with friends.

Death

Party
The evening of her death, Hale informally entertained some friends; she had told them that she was planning a long trip and invited them to a party in honor of a U.S. ambassador. Among the guests were Mrs. Brock Pemberton; Prince del Drago of Italy; painter Dorothy Swinburne, who was married to Admiral Luke McNamee (president of the McKay Radio and Telegraph company); and Margaret Case (later Harriman, daughter of Frank Case), an editor at Vogue who would go on to write The Vicious Circle. After the party Hale went on to the theater with Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Morgan to see the Stokes' play Oscar Wilde.

After an evening on the town, Hale returned to her home at the Hampshire House at about 1:15 am, leaving a large number of friends partying at the 21 Club. According to Pamela Hamilton, Hale's biographer, she died at 6:15 am on October 21, 1938, still wearing her favorite Madame X black velvet dress with a corsage of small yellow roses, given to her by Noguchi. Detectives reported to the press that she "fell or jumped,"  though Hamilton raises the question of possible foul play. Hamilton reports that weeks after Hale's death, the tabloids claimed it was suicide, but there was no definitive evidence. Hamilton based her claims on the evidence she uncovered during 20 years of research, and which she has in her possession.

The New York Times and newspapers nationwide covered her death. It became clear that Baruch had used his influence to mute the reporting of Hale's death and diffuse his involvement in the affair.

In his interview for the Herrera book on Frida Kahlo, Noguchi would say of Hale:

She was very beautiful girl, all my girls are beautiful. I went to London with her in 1933. Bucky (Buckminster Fuller) and I were there the night before she did it. I remember very well she said, 'Well that's the end of the vodka. There isn't any more.' Just like that you know. I wouldn't have thought of it much, except afterward I realized that that's what she was talking about. Dorothy was very pretty, and she traveled in this false world. She didn't want to be second to anybody, and she must have thought she was slipping.Hale biographer Pamela Hamilton questions the assumptions that have been made by "friends" and by the press.

Frida Kahlo painting

Hale's friend Clare Boothe Luce, an ardent admirer of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, almost immediately commissioned Kahlo to paint a recuerdo (remembrance) portrait of their deceased mutual friend, so that, in Kahlo's words, "her life [would]  not be forgotten". Luce understood a recuerdo to be an idealized memorial portrait and was doubtless expecting a conventional over-the-fireplace portrait for her $400. After being shown in March in Paris, the completed painting arrived in August 1939. Luce claimed she was so shocked by the unwrapped painting that she "almost passed out".

What Kahlo created was a graphic, narrative retablo, detailing every step of Hale's alleged suicide. It depicts Hale standing on the balcony, falling to her death, and also lying on the bloody pavement below. Luce was so offended that she seriously considered destroying it, but instead, she had the sculptor Isamu Noguchi paint out the part of the legend that bore Luce's name. Luce simply left the work crated up in the care of Frank Crowninshield, only to be presented with it again decades later, when Crowninshield's heirs discovered it in storage. She donated it anonymously to the Phoenix Art Museum, where it was eventually outed as a Luce donation. The museum retains ownership, although the painting is frequently on tour in exhibitions of Kahlo's works.

In 2010, the painting was included in a "sweeping view" of Noguchi's career in the "On Becoming an Artist: Isamu Noguchi and His Contemporaries, 1922-1960" show at the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, Queens, New York City.

Portrayals and dramatizations

Stage play
The Rise of Dorothy Hale, written by Myra Bairstow, premiered off-Broadway at the St. Luke's Theater on September 30, 2007. The play explores the life and death of Hale through the creative process of Frida Kahlo. Questions are raised as to whether Hale's death was a suicide or a murder. The original cast members were Emmy Award winner Michael Badalucco, Patrick Boll, Sarita Choudhury, Laura Koffman, Sarah Wynter, and Mark LaMura.  The cast and playwright of The Rise of Dorothy Hale were featured guests of NASDAQ on October 18, 2007, to ring the closing bell.

Biography

Lady Be Good: The Life and Times of Dorothy Hale, written by former NBC News producer Pamela Hamilton, was published on March 31, 2021, to critical acclaim. Drawing on original research, the fictionalized biography portrays Hale as a smart, talented, determined woman, upending the widely held belief that Hale was hapless. At the heart of the novel is Hale's friendship with Clare Boothe Luce and the life they led together in café society. Hamilton spent two decades conducting research on Hale, her life, and her friends.

Lady Be Good received a Kirkus Reviews starred review and was selected as a Kirkus Best Indie Book of the Year as well as a Booklife by Publishers Weekly Editors Pick. It has won the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) Benjamin Franklin Award, the National Indie Excellence Award, the Royal Dragonfly Book Award in the Fiction and Historical Fiction categories, the Mark Twain Book Award for Humor and Satire, and others. Reviewers of the book included famed artist Ashley Longshore, who said "Lady Be Good is an absolute candy dish of luxury, opulence, and grandeur. A lens into the upper echelon of the Roaring 20s." Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Bill Dedman said: "Meticulously researched and well told, Lady be Good is a magnificent debut novel that takes readers on an enthralling and heartbreaking journey. Hamilton beautifully captures the themes of love and betrayal, class and culture, and the price of fame."

The Long Island AVA is an American Viticultural Area encompassing Nassau and Suffolk counties of New York, including the smaller offshore islands in those counties.  The AVA was established in 2001, over 15 years after two smaller AVAs were created at the eastern end of Long Island.  The Long Island AVA designation was promoted as a benefit for some wineries located just outside the two smaller AVAs and for wineries that wanted to create wines that use blends from vineyards in different parts of the island. It was also developed and promoted as a consumer protection of the Long Island name, as AVAs require that at least 85% of the fruit used in the designated wine is grown within the borders of the region. The "Long Island" AVA was authored by veteran Long Island winemaker Richard Olsen-Harbich who also authored "The Hamptons, Long Island" and "North Fork of Long Island" AVAs in the mid-1980s.

Vineyards on Long Island benefit from the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound, and Peconic Bay on the local climate. The region is located in hardiness zones 7a and 7b.

The Harpur (later Crewe and Harpur Crewe) Baronetcy, of Calke Abbey, Derbyshire was a title in the Baronetage of England between 1626 and 1924. It was created on 8 September 1626 for Henry Harpur. He was a grandson of Richard Harpur, Justice of the Common Pleas, of Swarkestone Hall, Swarkestone, Derbyshire. The fourth Baronet was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1702. He married Catherine, daughter of Thomas Crewe, 2nd Baron Crew (see Baron Crew). The fifth Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Worcester and Tamworth. The sixth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Derbyshire. The seventh Baronet assumed the alternative surname of Crewe in 1808 in commemoration of his ancestry. The eighth Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Derbyshire South. The ninth Baronet assumed the surname Harpur Crewe and was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1853. The tenth Baronet was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1900. The title became extinct on his death in 1924.

The Harpurs and Harpur-Crews assembled a vast collection of natural history objects. The seventh Baronet probably started collecting birds as taxidermy specimens. His grandson, Sir John Harpur Crewe, 9th Baronet made large contributions to the collection. Not only birds, but also quadrupeds, fishes, and paleontological, geological and conchological material. Nowadays the natural history collection at Calke Abbey is one of the largest in its kind in the National Trust.

The Derbyshire estate passed down on the female line and in 1949 was inherited by Charles Jenney, grandson of the last Baronet, who changed his name to Harpur-Crewe. Inheritance tax problems forced the sale of the estate on his death in 1981 and in 1985 Calke Abbey passed to the National Trust.

Thomas Cheadle (8 April 1919 – 4 September 1993) was an English footballer. He played for Port Vale in various positions for over a decade. It was his time as a "hard-man" centre-back, captaining some of the most successful Vale sides in the club's history, that made Cheadle a legend at the club. He helped the "Valiants" to win the Third Division North title and to reach the FA Cup semi-finals in 1953–54. He ended his career in 1959, following two years with Crewe Alexandra.

Career

Port Vale
Born in Stoke-on-Trent, Cheadle worked at Mossfield Colliery and in the local pottery industry before he joined the army. During World War II, in a battlefield in the Netherlands in 1944, he received a shrapnel injury after throwing a faulty grenade that nearly went off in his hand. At a rehabilitation centre, Cheadle spoke to Vale trainer Ken Fish, who told him to report to Port Vale after the war as the club may have a place for him. Playing in Army matches, Cheadle was coached by Matt Busby, who managed to secure a trial for Cheadle for Liverpool against Stoke City. Cheadle took the advice of Fish and came to The Old Recreation Ground and signed professional forms in March 1946 for £8 a week. He made his league debut in a 4–1 victory against Ipswich Town on 2 March. His first goal was against Southend United in a 2–1 win on 20 April.

Signing as a professional in May 1946, he spent the 1946–47 season playing across the back four, and also spent time as a centre-forward in a few games. He played 37 games in 1946–47, and scored his first goal in the Football League at The Old Recreation Ground in a 5–1 win over Reading on 2 November. For the 1947–48 season, Cheadle spent 16 straight games as a striker, scoring a patch of seven goals in seven games. He also played for the reserve team in the Cheshire County League and represented the league against a Southern Football League XI at the Racecourse Ground on 23 October 1937. He hit a total of eight goals in 23 Third Division South games in 1947–48. He scored twice in 23 games in 1948–49, before making 46 appearances as a centre-half in 1949–50 under the stewardship of Gordon Hodgson. Cheadle was one of the starting XI who played in the first match at Vale Park. He played 36 games in 1950–51, including a draw with Millwall on 28 October at The Den, a game which he played until the end despite breaking three teeth in a hefty collision. He featured 40 times in 1951–52, surviving Ivor Powell's brief reign to establish himself as a key part of new manager Freddie Steele's first team plans. He was an ever-present throughout the 49 games in the 1952–53 campaign, as the "Valiants" finished as runners-up in the Third Division North.

He was captain during the 1953–54 season, where Vale made it to the FA Cup semi-finals and won the Third Division North title. The team had conceded just 21 goals in 46 games with Cheadle at the heart of the 'Iron Curtain' defence consisting of Ray King (goalkeeper), Cheadle, Reg Potts, Stan Turner and Roy Sproson. In the semi-final clash with West Bromwich Albion at Villa Park he was dispossessed for the "Throstles" equaliser and gave away the penalty for Albion's winning goal. Cheadle featured only 26 times in the Second Division in 1954–55. He played 19 games in 1955–56 and 14 games in 1956–57, as the club suffered relegation under new boss Norman Low. His final game was a 6–0 defeat to Sheffield United on 25 March, a game in which Cheadle scored an own goal.

Crewe Alexandra
Now 38 years old, he moved to nearby Cheshire outfit Crewe Alexandra as a player-coach in July 1957. He played 37 league games for the "Railwaymen" as the club finished bottom of the Third Division North in 1957–58 under Maurice Lindley and 18th in the Fourth Division in 1958–59 under the stewardship of Harry Ware. He retired as a player at Gresty Road in 1959.

Style of play
Former teammate Roy Sproson said that: "Tom was quick and strong and nobody could beat him. Pound for pound, in fact, I would say Tom is the hardest man I have ever met." In fact he had 22 stitches in the head after various collisions with opposition players, his toughness earning him the nickname "wooden head" from his teammates.

Personal and later life
Cheadle was married and had a son, Peter. Following his retirement, Cheadle became a postman in Porthill. The pub at Vale Park was named Tommy Cheadle's in honour of his contribution to the club.

The Diocese of Tursi-Lagonegro () is a Latin diocese of the Catholic  Church in Basilicata, southern Italy. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Potenza-Muro Lucano-Marsico Nuovo.

History
The diocese of Tursi is first attested as a Greek diocese. In the privilege granted by Polyeuktos, the Patriarch of Constantinople to the Metropolitan of Otranto in 968, the Metropolitan is granted the right to consecrate the bishops of Acerenza, Tursi, Gravina, Matera, and Tricarico.

The first bishop to call himself Bishop of Anglona was Petrus (1110). Simeon, a bishop of Anglona, was present at the ceremony of donation of some fields, made by Hugo di Chiaromonte and his wife Ginarga to the Basilian monastery of Sts. Elias and Anastasius.

On 16 June 1102 (or 1106, or 1108), Pope Paschal II confirmed the privileges of the metropolitan archbishop of Acerenza, which included the suffragan dioceses of Venosa, Gravina, Tricarico, Tursi, and Potenza. The privilege was repeated by Pope Eugenius III on 1 April 1151; by Pope Alexander III on 7 September 1179; and by Pope Innocent III on 10 December 1201. In October 1167, King William II of Sicily granted the castle of Nucara to Bishop Guilelmus of Anglona, for the good of his soul. In July 1181, Bishop Roboan of Anglona relinquished his rights over the abbey of Ss. Elias and Anastasius of Carbone to the archbishop of Monreale.

Following the death of the Emperor Frederick II in 1250, the struggle for the succession between Conrad and Manfred involved not only the papacy, but also most of the vassals of the Empire in south Italy. Pope Innocent IV (Fieschi) excommunicated Manfred in July 1254. One of the leaders of the opposition to Manfred, and a papal supporter, was Borello, the lord of Anglona. In October 1254, five months after the death of Conrad, Manfred killed Borello. Manfred fled to Lucera where he was favorably received, and assumed control over the town and fortress.

Anglona was destroyed in the days of Queen Johanna of Naples .

The name of the diocese was officially changed from Diocese of Anglona to Diocese of Anglona-Tursi in 1545 or 1546, Tursi being a town in the diocese of Anglona.

Reorganization of 1976
On 8 September 1976, the diocese of Diano-Policastro lost seven towns, including Lagonegro, when the Diocese of Tursi-Lagonegro was established. The church of S. Nicholas of Bari in Lagonegro was promoted to the status of co-cathedral. The name (titulus) of "Anglona" was suppressed from the diocesan name, but the name was retained and placed among the names of future titular sees.

Following the Second Vatican Council, and in accordance with the norms laid out in the council's decree, Christus Dominus chapter 40, Pope Paul VI ordered a reorganization of the ecclesiastical provinces in southern Italy by the bull Quo aptius of 21 August 1976. The ecclesiastical provinces of Acerenza and of Matera were abolished, and a new province, that of Potenza, was created. On 12 September 1976, Pope Paul continued the reorganization by dissolving the Episcopal Conference of Benevento and of Lucana-Salernitana. He created a new Episcopal Conference in the area of Basilicata, to be called "Apulia", and which included the dioceses of Potenza, Marsico Nuovo and Venosa; Acerenza and Tricarico; Melphi, Rapolla and Venosa; Tursi-Lagonegro; and Materana and Montepeloso. The diocese of Tursi-Lagonegro was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Potenza-Marsico Nuovo-Venosa.

Chapter and Cathedral
In 1702, both the bishop and the Chapter were living in Tursi. The Cathedral of the Annunciation in Tursi was administered by a Chapter consisting of three dignities (the Archdeacon, the Archpriest, and the Dean) and ten canons. In 1763, there were three dignities and fourteen canons. In 1870, the cathedral was administered by a Chapter, consisting of three dignities and eleven canons.

Darby Green is a village in the parish of Yateley, North East Hampshire, England.  The electoral ward of Frogmore and Darby Green is separated from the rest of the parish by a small gap around Clarks Farm, until recently a composting farm in the mushroom producing industry.  The ward has a boundary shared with Blackwater, which is one part of the Civil Parish of Hawley.

Parson Darby was a local vicar and a highwayman; he was supposedly hung at the junction of the B3272 and Darby Green Road.  The historian Sidney Loader was a resident of Yateley and lived near this spot.

There used to be a tin church at the corner of the B3272 named for St Barnabas.  This burned down in the 1980s and was replaced by a new St Barnabas in Bell Lane, close to Frogmore Green.  The previous incumbent was the Reverend Mike Saunders, who was also Rector of Eversley. Every year, close to St Barnabas Day in June, the Church organises a community fair.

Diplomacy

On June 15, 2010, she was nominated by president Barack Obama for the post of United States Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom in the State Department.

She was renominated and confirmed on April 14, 2011. She was sworn in and began work on May 16, 2011. She is the first woman and first African-American to hold the post.

According to a report in the Washington Post, Chinese officials refused to meet with her to discuss issues of religious freedom.

She resigned in October 2013 in order to earn more money in the private sector so she can give her sons the gift of a "debt-free college education."

Personal life
Johnson Cook lives in New York with her husband, Ronald, and their two sons.

Serguei Outschakov (born 11 May 1968 in Arkhangelsk) is a Ukrainian former road bicycle racer. He won stages in all three Grand Tours. In 1997 Tour de France he finished first in the 11th stage but was relegated to third place for not holding his line in the final sprint. His Tour de France stage victory came in  1995 when he and Lance Armstrong broke away and Outschakov won in the sprint.  According to the ESPN “30 for 30” documentary, “Lance”, the loss to Outschakov was the impetus for Armstrong’s decision to start taking EPO.

The North Fork of Long Island AVA is an American Viticultural Area located in eastern Suffolk County, New York. Authored by winemaker Richard Olsen-Harbich in 1985, it includes the entire North Fork of Long Island and the townships of Riverhead, Shelter Island, and Southold. The North Fork of Long Island is home to over 40 wineries and  of planted vineyards.  The local climate is heavily influenced by the presence of Long Island Sound, Peconic Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean.  The maritime influences of these bodies of water help to moderate temperature fluctuations and extend the growing season up to a month longer than other regions in New York.  The most planted grape varieties in the region are Merlot, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc. The hardiness zone is 7a.

Consonant is an alternative rock group formed by singer/guitarist Clint Conley in 2001.

In the late 1970s, Conley cofounded Mission of Burma, a pioneering Boston post punk group. After mostly dropping out of music for the 1980s and 1990s, Conley began writing songs, often with input from poet Holly Anderson.

Conley formed Consonant in 2001, along with guitarist Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine), bassist Winston Braman (Fuzzy), and drummer Matt Kadane (previously of Bedhead). Though notably less experimental than Mission of Burma, critic Mark Deming declares Consonant is "a fine return to the spotlight for Conley".

2 Girls (İki Genç Kızın Romanı in Turkish) is a novel by Turkish writer Perihan Mağden, first published in 2002. The novel tells the story of two teenager girls with polar characteristics drawn into each other, forming an intense friendship in milieu of man-dominated, materialistic, and oppressive pressures. The novel was translated in English by Brendan Freely and published in the United Kingdom in 2005. The novel was hailed by The Independent by the following remark, "Not since Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye has a writer animated adolescent anguish so vividly and compellingly."

Plot summary

Bodies of several murdered men are found in Istanbul and the oppressive air is evident in the city.

Meanwhile Behiye, rebellious, full of teenage angst, oppressed by her conservative family, achieves well in her university entrance exams and gets the chance to enter prestigious Boğaziçi University. This, however, does not take her angst away, but oppressions endure. Behiye's life, longing to get rid of her angst is changed drastically when she meets Handan, a beautiful and naive girl of her age who lives with her beautiful call girl mother.

In short time, Behiye becomes attached to Handan and moves into their apartment. The girls form and intense and unidentifiable relationship which has both romantic and sisterly implications. Their uniting relationship has to face social problems and is damaged by peer boys, academic expectations, economic difficulties, and most of all different cultural backgrounds. The story continues as step by step Handan painfully realizes the impossibility of their relationship.

Film adaptation

The novel was adopted into film by Kutluğ Ataman in 2005 as İki Genç Kız and starred Feride Çetin as Behiye, Vildan Atasever as Handan, and Hülya Avşar as Leman, Handan's mother. The movie won three prizes in 2005 (Best Actress for Vildan Atasever, Best Cinematography for Emre Erkmen, and Best Director for Kutluğ Ataman) at Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival which gives out the most prestigious film awards in Turkey. Kutluğ Ataman was also awarded the Best Director in Istanbul International Film Festival with this film.

Carl Gustaf Ekeberg (10 June 1716 – 4 April 1784) was a Swedish physician, chemist and explorer. He made several voyages to the East Indies and China as a sea captain. He brought back reports of the tea tree and wrote a number of books.

Biography
Ekeberg was born at Djursholm in Uppland, Sweden. He was the son of Gustaf Ekeberg and Catharina Ebba Fast. He was a student at Uppsala University for three years (1726–1729); pharmacy student at Västerås (1730–1736); provisor in the pharmacy at Turku (1737–1738).

Trained as a pharmacist and chemist, Ekeberg started his career as a ship's doctor, and became an expert navigator. Between 1742 and 1778 he made ten trips to India and China, becoming a captain in 1750 for the Swedish East India Company. He brought back numerous natural history specimens from his voyages for Carl Linnaeus, with whom he had a close friendship.

Swedish ships from 1750 avoided calling at Cape Town, preferring to reprovision in Madagascar and St. Helena. Ekeberg though, was on good terms with the Cape governor, Rijk Tulbagh, and called on him when visiting the Cape. He was an excellent cartographer, compiling good maps of the coastlines along which he sailed, publishing them in his book Ostindisk Resa 1770-71 (Stockholm 1773).

Ekeberg was also responsible for having Anders Erikson Sparrman, whom he had met on a voyage to Canton in 1765, sent to the Cape in 1772 to take up a tutoring post.

He was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1761. He was elected a Fellow of the Swedish Academy of Science in Stockholm and a Knight of the Order of Vasa in 1777.

In 1779, he was honoured by the naming of a genera of plants from Africa, Ekebergia, which contains 4 species of plant.

Personal life
In 1744, he married Hedvig Erlant (1719-1809). At the beginning of the 1760s, Ekeberg purchased three farms which he brought together to form Altomta gård in the parish of Tensta.
He died during 1784 at Altomta. He was buried at Tensta Church (Tensta kyrka) in Uppsala County, Sweden.

The coastal batteries presented itself as a powerful strike force of the Estonian Navy between 1918 and 1940.

History
Since the end of the 19th century the Russian Empire began to build coastal fortresses and naval strongholds to Estonia which was annexed to empire after the Great Northern War in 1721. Tallinn having been historically an important trading center between the East and the West became one of the main naval bases of the Imperial Russian Baltic fleet. A systematic coastal defence network and naval gun installations were ordered and the construction works began at the end of the 1890s.

During the Republic of Estonia
Most of the coastal fortifications and fortresses were blown up by the retreating Russians units in October 1917 after the Germans had landed on the islands. During the Estonian War of Independence and after the Treaty of Tartu the Estonia Navy began to rebuild and develop the coastal defence network. During the period of independence from 1918 to 1940 Estonia invested millions of kroons into the renovation and development of the coastal defence. By 1939 the coastal batteries presented a considerable naval force and were considered among the Navy elite forces.

Estonian-Finnish naval defence cooperation

The end of the coastal batteries and the Soviet occupation

During World War II and later the Soviet occupation of Estonia, little has remained of the former coastal defence lines and fortifications. Today some buildings and firing positions can be seen at various places of which the best preserved ones are located on the island of Aegna.

General Frederick Ralph Sharp  (December 8, 1915 – June 10, 1992) was a Royal Canadian Air Force officer and Chief of Defence Staff of the Canadian Forces.

Education
Sharp was born in Moosomin, Saskatchewan in 1915 and graduated from the Royal Military College of Canada in 1938, student # 2420. He was raised at Trenton, Ontario. He attended the War Staff College in 1944. He was a student at the National Defence College, Kingston. After the war, he furthered his education by completing his Masters in Business Administration at the University of Western Ontario.

Military career
Following the outbreak of war, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in Trenton, Ontario in July 1939. He earned his wings as a pilot in Trenton in 1939. He completed the flying instructor course at Camp Borden in 1939. He spent over four years [51 months] on instructional duties in Alberta, before being posted overseas as C.O. of No. 408 Bomber Squadron, 6 Bomber Group 26 November 1944. He won a Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) on 4 May 1945 with No. 408 Goose Squadron. He served as a flying instructor for the BCATP during World War II. He was a squadron commander at the close of the war.

In 1946, he was a member of the Chelsey committee which was instructed to make recommendations about the provision of officers for the active force, about the educational requirements of candidates, and about the way they should be trained. The committee, headed by Brigadier Leonard McEwan Chelsey (RMC 1917) favored three plans. Plan A proposed to eliminate Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario as a source of officers and to use the site as a two-year course for military training of university graduates. Plan B proposed to enlarge RMC so it could provide the total annual requirements of the active force, to make it free and to impose an obligation on graduates to serve in the active force. Plan C proposed to enlarge RMC to produce 50–70% of the officers needed and to have a parallel officer training system in universities to prepare the balance.

After the war, Sharp served with the Air Force HQ and Central Flying School in Trenton. He served as an exchange officer posted as Directing Staff at the RAF Staff College in Britain.

In 1959, he became the commander of the RCAF Training Command and various posting with NORAD. Sharp was promoted to Air Marshal in the RCAF.
He served as Vice Chief of Defence Staff from 1966. The following year, in 1968, he was regraded from Air Marshal to Lieutenant General and in January 1969 he was appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of NORAD.

In 1969, Sharp was elevated to the rank of General and served as Chief of Defence Staff of the Canadian Armed Forces from 1969 to 1972. He retired in 1972 and became a partner in a consulting firm until 1979. In 1983 he joined retired Canadian Ambassador Ross Campbell, as a founding partner in the consulting company InterCon Consultants.

He wrote a paper for the July–August 1967 Air University Review on the Reorganization of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Family
He was married to Betty Sharp and had two sons, John and Richard, and three daughters, Brenda, Barbara and Elizabeth. Brenda Sharp married Charles Walton Cole and had three sons, Adam, Alex and Michael. Richard had daughter Casey and son Justin with wife Kathryn, John had daughters Sariya and Alexa with wife Madelene.

Legacy
The papers he collected on the reorganization and the unification of the Canadian Forces are included in the Robert Lewis Raymont fonds at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Dear John is a romance novel by American writer Nicholas Sparks released in 2007. Sparks took inspiration from the real-life story of his cousin Todd Vance who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.  It was on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2007.

The story is about a couple who fall in love over one summer. They are separated during the man's military service. John Tyree, the main character, has a father with Asperger's syndrome. The story is partially set in Wilmington, North Carolina where John's father was a single parent who had difficulty having meaningful conversation with his son and has an obsession with coin collecting. John knows there is something different about him but he has never found out what it is. Feeling a lack of direction and no strong fatherly influence in his life, John enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces.

John returns home on leave from the army when he gets news of his father's death. After the return he seeks out Savannah, where he is surprised to learn of her life events following her marriage to another man. It was obvious to John, Savannah, and even her new husband, that Savannah still had love for John. But he decided to let Savannah go, because he cared about her more than himself.
Although drained by battle overseas and the loss of Savannah, he realizes that due to a legacy from his father, he's able to express his love in an unexpected way.

Film adaptation

Dear John was adapted into a film in 2010 starring Channing Tatum as John Tyree and Amanda Seyfried as Savannah Curtis. The film was directed by Lasse Hallström and screenplay was written by Jamie Linden.

Hartlepool Abbey, also known as Heretu Abbey, Hereteu Abbey, Heorthu Abbey or Herutey Abbey, was a Northumbrian monastery founded in 640 CE by Hieu, the first of the saintly recluses of Northumbria, and Aidan of Lindisfarne, on the Headland Estate of Hartlepool now called the Heugh or Old Hartlepool, in County Durham, England.

Construction and type
Built in the early Anglo-Saxon style, it was likely a walled enclosure of simple wooden huts surrounding a church.

Hartlepool was a double monastery. It was a joint-house of both monks and nuns, presided over from 640 to 649 by Hieu, the first female abbess to ever be put in charge of such an institution. Hilda ruled men and women, Bede speaks of male students in the monasteries of the Abbess Hilda, and there are male names on the head stones, and male interments in the cemetery.

Most of the priests were from the Celtic church who had travelled to Northumbria from Ireland or the island of Iona. Others had arrived as part of the Pope's mission to Britain.

History
Hieu was selected by Bishop Aidan of Lindisfarne in 640 to found and run a new abbey at Hereteu. After Hieu left for Tadcaster in 649, Hilda (later Hilda of Whitby) was appointed second abbess of the abbey by Bishop Aidan.

When she arrived, there were some serious problems with the monks living there. Hilda organised it so that everyone had to pray, work and rest according to a clear timetable.

In 655, King Oswiu of Northumbria sent his one-year-old daughter Ælfflæd to stay with Hilda, "to be consecrated to God in perpetual virginity", an important gesture. Hilda stayed at Hartlepool Abbey until 657 or 658 when at Aidans behest she became founding abbess of Whitby Abbey, then called Streoneshalh, taking with her Ælfflæd and ten nuns. Hilda was now technically abbess of both monasteries, but she lived at Streaneshalh.

The monastery then disappears from history, and it is possible that it either ceased to operate or that it moved to and became the nucleus of Hilda's new foundation.

Impact
A village was founded around the monastery in the 7th century, marking the earliest beginnings of the modern town of Hartlepool. However, after Hilda left Hartlepool Abbey it, and the village surrounding it, is not mentioned again in any known sources until the 12th century, and appears to have declined in importance until it was finally either sacked and destroyed by Danish Vikings around 800, or possibly simply abandoned.

Excavations

1883
No trace of the monastery remains today, though the monastic cemetery has been found near the site of present-day St Hilda's Church. It is the most extensively explored of all the Northumbrian monasteries of the 7th and 8th centuries. The first excavation began in 1833 when workmen building houses on the headland found human burials and Anglo-Saxon artefacts.

Multiple female skeletons were found lying in two rows at a depth of 3.5 feet. Unusually for Christian burials, the bodies were aligned north to south. Their heads were upon flat stones as pillows with larger stones inscribed with Anglo-Saxon runes and crosses above. One of the namestones found during this excavation can be found on display in St Hilda's Church. In consultation with the British Archaeological Association, several were identified. These included Heresuid and Bregesuid (or Breguswith), respectively the sister and the mother of St Hilda, Frigyd, the abbess of Hackness, and Hildilid, Eadgyd and Torchtgyd, respectively abbess and nuns of Barking Abbey.

2000, Time Team
Significant finds are still being unearthed to this day. Hartlepool Abbey was featured in the March 2000 episode #57 of archaeological television programme Time Team, called "Nuns in Northumbria", where bones and a book clasp were found.
