Robert West LeMond, Jr. (April 11, 1913 – January 6, 2008) was an American radio and television announcer who was best known as the voice who announced for the television shows Leave It to Beaver and Ozzie and Harriet. LeMond was also the announcer for the first radio sitcom by Lucille Ball, My Favorite Husband, as well as for the first television pilot episode of I Love Lucy. The peak of his announcing career spanned from the 1930s well into the 1960s.

Early life
Bob LeMond was born in Hale Center, Texas on April 11, 1913. He was raised in Southern California, and was reportedly a star football player at Long Beach Polytechnic High School, as indicated by his winning letters in football and wrestling. After graduating, he sold classified advertising, drove trucks, and worked with a cement crew before beginning to work in radio.

LeMond first became involved in radio announcing during the 1930s. He was selling advertising for the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner when his brother-in-law asked him to read a commercial for a radio show that his advertising agency was sponsoring. This audition was performed live on the air, and LeMond was hired on the spot for a salary of $20 a week. He worked at KEHE (later KECA) in Los Angeles in 1937–38 and at KYA in San Francisco in 1938–39 before being hired by CBS as one of its main announcers.

In 1942, LeMond was the announcer for The Second Mrs. Burton and Hollywood Showcase on radio. An October news report indicated that he would be the announcer for Lights Out, but military service intervened.

In October 1942, Lemond qualified to be a tower control operator with the United States Army Air Forces. He continued to announce even after entering the U.S. Army during World War II, where he worked for Armed Forces Radio from 1942 until 1946. He ran the Mosquito Network, which broadcast to United States military personnel throughout the South Pacific. After the Japanese surrendered, he was named manager and officer in charge of Radio Tokyo.

He met his future wife, Barbara Brewster of the 20th Century Fox Brewster Twins, at a USO while stationed in New Caledonia. Brewster and LeMond were married in 1946 after the end of World War II. The couple eventually had three children together. The marriage lasted for 59 years until her death in June 2005.

Post-war career
LeMond returned to work at CBS after World War II, where he enjoyed the peak of his career. His most famed work came as the announcer for Lucille Ball's radio sitcom My Favorite Husband from 1948 until 1951. He continued to work with Ball as the announcer for the pilot episode of the television show which eventually became I Love Lucy. (This original pilot episode, which never aired, was lost for many years before being rediscovered in 2000 or 2001).

LeMond's other blossoming television and radio credits during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s included Leave It to Beaver, The Red Skelton Show, Red Skelton, Bat Masterson, Our Miss Brooks, My Friend Irma, Spike Jones, Edgar Bergen's Do You Trust Your Wife? and Life with Luigi. He also announced for countless television special events including the Academy Awards (for sponsor General Motors' Oldsmobile division) and the Tournament of Roses Parade.

Additionally, LeMond continued to work as a voice actor for television and radio commercials. One of his most famous commercials included a spot for Raid bug spray with Mel Blanc, the legendary voice actor and voice of Bugs Bunny. His other commercial credits included Dial Soap, Oldsmobile and Johnson's Wax, just to name a few.

Later life
LeMond gradually began to receive less work by the mid-1960s, as the television medium changed and the demand for announcers fell. He officially retired from show business in 1971 and moved to Bonsall, California in 1972. He worked as a real estate agent and became active with Bonsall's homeowners' association. Many of his new neighbors had no idea about LeMond's past career in television and radio.

In 1998, LeMond and the surviving cast members of My Favorite Husband were reunited by Gregg Oppenheimer, the son of Jess Oppenheimer, the original creator and producer of the show, to benefit pediatric AIDS research. LeMond reprised his role as the announcer of the show for the event. Oppenheimer commented at the time on LeMond, who used to both announce and warm up the live studio audience before the show, "He did it again, and it was like magic. It was like it was 1948."

The original pilot episode of I Love Lucy, with LeMond as the show's announcer, was rediscovered in 1990 by the real-life widow of the actor Pepito Pérez, who played Pepito the Clown, who found the missing program under her bed. However, the first 15 seconds of LeMond's original narration was missing from the film. Gregg Oppenheimer owned the pilot episode's original script, complete with the missing narration. Oppenheimer, who produced the I Love Lucy DVD releases beginning in 2002, drove to LeMond's home in Bonsall and asked him to re-record the original, missing narration. LeMond agreed and read the words into a microphone which Oppenheimer had brought with him. In doing so, LeMond and Oppenheimer recaptured the first words which were ever associated with I Love Lucy. Oppenheimer was happy with the results of the audio recording: "He sounded older, but it worked."

Death
Bob LeMond died of complications from dementia at his home in Bonsall, California, on January 6, 2008. His survivors included three sons, Rob, Stephen and Barry, five grandchildren, and a great-grandchild.

glamourpuss is a Canadian independent comic book written and illustrated by Dave Sim which was published from April 2008 to July 2012 and ran for 26 issues. The comic was published bimonthly, with 24 pages of story and art, and back issues remaining available throughout the comic's print run. The premise of the book is threefold: a parody of fashion magazines, a history of photorealism in comics, and a surreal super-heroine comic.

One of the stories within Glamourpuss, about the death of comic illustrator Alex Raymond, remained uncompleted at the time of the last issue, and plans to release The Strange Death of Alex Raymond were briefly cancelled.  In early 2021, it was announced that the completed book (finished by co-illustrator Carson Grubaugh) would be released in September of that year.

Issue #4 (November 2008) and #5 (January 2009) of the book were offered with "Zombie" variant covers, featuring "zombie-fied" covers instead of the traditional fashion magazine versions. Issue #18 (March 2011) featured the first new Cerebus comic book story in seven years, the ten page "What If Cerebus had Lived in the Age of Mad Men." Issues #22–26 (re-numbered #1–5) were offered with "Zootanapuss" variant covers, autographed and numbered by Sim.

Characters
glamourpuss – The heroine of the comic.
Skanko – glamourpuss' evil twin sister.
Dr. Norm – glamourpuss' long-time therapist.

Blue Hawaii is the fourth soundtrack album by the American singer Elvis Presley, released on RCA Victor Records in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 2426, on October 20, 1961. It is the soundtrack to the 1961 film of the same name starring Presley. In the United States, the album spent 20 weeks at the number one slot and 39 weeks in the Top 10 on Billboards Top Pop LPs chart. It was certified Gold on December 21, 1961, Platinum and 2× Platinum on March 27, 1992, and 3× Platinum on July 30, 2002, by the Recording Industry Association of America. On the US Top Pop Albums chart, Blue Hawaii is second only to the soundtrack of West Side Story as the most successful soundtrack album of the 1960s.

Content
RCA and Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, had initially planned a schedule of one soundtrack and one popular music release per year for Presley, in addition to the requisite four singles. To coincide with the location of the film, touches of Hawaiian music were included, from instrumentation to the traditional song "Aloha 'Oe". The title song was taken from the 1937 Bing Crosby film Waikiki Wedding, and "Hawaiian Wedding Song" dates from a 1926 operetta.

Recording sessions took place at Radio Recorders in Hollywood on March 21, 22, and 23, 1961. The songs "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Rock-A-Hula Baby" were pulled off the album for two sides of a single released on November 21, 1961. The A-side "Can't Help Falling in Love," which became the standard closer for a Presley concert in the 1970s, went to number two on the Billboard Hot 100, while the b-side charted independently at number 23.

Reception
The Blue Hawaii soundtrack was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1961 in the category of Best Sound Track Album or Recording of Original Cast from a Motion Picture or Television.

The success of this soundtrack and its predecessor G. I. Blues, both of which sold in much greater quantity than Presley's recent studio albums of the time, Elvis Is Back! and Something for Everybody, set the pace for the rest of the decade. Parker and Presley would focus almost exclusively on film work for much of the 1960s. This formula, though initially lucrative, soon led to Presley's career becoming stagnant and his cultural relevance declining amidst a changing musical landscape.

Reissues
Blue Hawaii was reissued on compact disc in 1997 and again in 2008.  The latter edition was a deluxe 2-disc release on the Follow That Dream label that featured numerous alternate takes.  It also corrected the error with the 1997 issue that incorrectly reversed the stereo channels.
Five songs from this album appear on the 1995 compendium soundtrack box set Command Performances: The Essential 60s Masters II: "Can't Help Falling in Love", "Rock-a-Hula Baby", "Blue Hawaii," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," and "Beach Boy Blues."

1997 reissue

The petroleum industry in Kuwait is the largest industry in the country, accounting nearly half of the country's GDP. Kuwait has proven crude oil reserves of 104 billion barrels (15 km³), estimated to be 9% of the world's reserves. Kuwait's oil reserves are the sixth largest in the world and the Burgan Field is the second largest oil field. Kuwait is the world's eleventh largest oil producer and seventh largest exporter. Kuwait's oil production accounts for 7% of world-wide oil production.

Since the government of Kuwait owns the petroleum industry, it controls a lot of the country's economy; in all, about 43 percent of the GDP. Kuwait’s oil exports vary depending on internal needs – almost all of Kuwait’s energy is derived from oil – and on international demand and prices and production quotas fixed by the OPEC, of which Kuwait is a member. OPEC’s quotas, however, are difficult to enforce, and Kuwait and other countries have been accused of violating them. In 2005, oil production was an estimated 2.418 million bbl/day.

Kuwait's chief oil companies are:
 Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) : Holding group responsible for international marketing.
 Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) : Crude oil exploration and development company.
 Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) : Runs oil refineries across Kuwait.
 Petrochemicals Industries Company (PIC) : Petrochemical and fertilizer manufacturer.
 Kuwait Petroleum International (KPI, also known as "Q8") : Runs refining and marketing business overseas.
 Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC) : International oil exploration company.
 Equate petrochemical company (EQUATE) : A petrochemical company formed by PIC and Dow Chemical.
 Petroleum Training Centre (PTC) : Responsible for all training and career development within the KPC companies.
 Kuwait Oil Tanker Company (KOTC) : Crude oil shipping
 Kuwait Aviation Fueling Company (KAFCO) : Aircraft fuel
 Kuwait Gulf Oil Company (KGOC) : Oil and gas exploration and production in the Saudi-Kuwaiti neutral zone; joint venture with Saudi Arabia.
 Oil Sector Services Company (OSSC) : Handles all construction projects, maintenance, security, fire-fighting, and medical services to all oil sector employees and their families.
 Oil Development Company (ODC)

Bob, the Galactic Bum was a four-issue comic miniseries published by DC Comics in 1995. Written by Alan Grant and John Wagner and illustrated by Carlos Ezquerra, it was a science-fiction comedy about a vagrant called Bob and his sidekick, Buck Fifty. It also featured Lobo as a guest star.

Premise
Bob is a homeless con man travelling the galaxy with his hapless sidekick whom he routinely mistreats. When stumbling upon a lost prince, Bob attempts to take advantage of the situation while guiding the man home. Unfortunately, several hostile forces are also after the royal person.

Reprint

The series was reprinted (in black and white) over eight issues of the Judge Dredd Megazine in 2008 (issues 266–273). While the copyright for the story and the character Bob is owned by the series' creators, copyright for Lobo is owned by DC, and so in the reprint Lobo was replaced by a large butch lesbian called Asbo.

Willey Reveley (1760–1799) was an 18th-century English architect, born at Newton Underwood near Morpeth, Northumberland.
He was a pupil of Sir William Chambers,
and was trained at the Royal Academy Schools. In 1781-2 he was employed (under Chambers) as assistant clerk of works at Somerset House.

Around 1788, Reveley travelled in Greece to make sketches for Sir Richard Worsley.
That year, he married Maria James, better known under her later married name of Gisborne as a friend of Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Maria's father opposed the marriage and refused to help the couple financially. They returned to England, where they lived on an income of £140 a year. Their son, Henry Willey Reveley (1788–1875), became a civil engineer and architect in Cape Town and Western Australia.
Their other son's name is unknown.

Reveley was a strong liberal and became a friend of William Godwin and Thomas Holcroft. About 1791 he received his first professional fee as an architect, £10, for assisting philosopher Jeremy Bentham in preparing architectural drawings for Bentham's scheme for a Panopticon prison.
Reveley continued to work on the project with Bentham for the rest of the 1790s.

Reveley contributed some views of the Levant to the Museum Worsleyanum (1794), the catalogue of Worsley's collections; and, also in 1794, edited the third volume of James Stuart's Antiquities of Athens.

In 1796, Reveley made four proposals to straighten the River Thames between Wapping and Woolwich Reach in east London.
A new channel across the Rotherhithe, Isle of Dogs and Greenwich peninsulas would reduce the river's length, improve flow to remove pollution, and simplify navigation. Three large horseshoe bends of the river would have been left as huge wet docks, connected to the new channel through locks.
Parliament rejected all four proposals.

Like the Thames scheme and the Panopticon prison, Reveley's designs for a public bath complex at Bath and an infirmary at Canterbury did not come to fruition.
His completed projects were All Saints' Church, Southampton (constructed 1792–5, destroyed in 1940); and Windmill Hill, Sussex, a country house built for W. H. Pigou and completed in 1798.

He died on 6 July 1799 "[a]fter a few hours illness".

Geraldine "Geri" Peroni (July 5, 1953 – August 3, 2004) was an American film editor who was best known for working with Robert Altman. She received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing for her work on Altman's 1992 film, The Player.

Life and career
Peroni was born in Manhattan, New York City and grew up in the borough of Queens. Her collaboration with Altman extended over eight films. Altman said of Peroni "I trusted her totally with everything, I was planning on using her in the next film. She and I saw very much the same way — we just read each other so well."

She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Film Editing, the BAFTA Award for Best Editing, and the American Cinema Editors Eddie for her work on The Player (1992). In his obituary, Tony Sloman discussed this film's editing:

Peroni's work on Short Cuts (1993) has been discussed by Krin Gabbard, who wrote, "Altman has invited his audiences to provide connections among scenes that float loosely about each other at the same time that he has benefited from the intelligent choices made by the film's editor Geraldine Peroni."

Peroni was found dead at her home in 2004. Her death was ruled a suicide by the New York coroner, a fact reportedly disputed by her family. She was in the midst of editing Brokeback Mountain. Dylan Tichenor completed Peroni's work; he later said, "I learned to edit from her, when she was Robert Altman's editor and I was her apprentice on The Player, and I worked with her for five years. While she was cutting Brokeback Mountain, she died rather suddenly, tragically. The first month was really difficult, seeing the work she'd done, all her selections and knowing her thinking behind it. Soon, it got to be cathartic and good to spend this time with her- I found myself thinking about her all the time through this process and it was a gift to me in that way." Tichenor and Peroni were nominated for numerous editing awards for Brokeback Mountain, including the BAFTA Award and the American Cinema Editors Eddie.

The Wire episode "Back Burners" was dedicated to her memory. The credits of Brokeback Mountain also read "In Loving Memory of Geraldine Peroni".

The  Vickers 10 inch naval gun was used on battleships and armoured cruisers built during the first decade of the 20th century. They were used as the Type 41 10-inch /45-caliber aboard the British-built semi-dreadnought s and the natively-built s of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

History

Japanese service
The Type 41  naval gun was designed by Vickers specifically for the Imperial Japanese Navy, and was of a very similar design to the Vickers-built Mark VII guns produced initially for the Chilean Navy and later used in Royal Navy service.

The  used these weapons as secondary armament. The Satsuma class was originally intended to be built with all  guns, which would have made this class the first true all big gun dreadnought class in the world; however, budgetary constraints forced the Japanese navy to use a mixture of 12 and 10-inch guns, as per the previous Kashima class.

The gun was officially designated as "Type 41" from the 41st year of the reign of Emperor Meiji on 25 December 1908. It was further re-designated in centimeters on 5 October 1917 as part of the standardization process for the Imperial Japanese Navy to the metric system.

After the scrapping of both the Katori class and the Satsuma class under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1923, the guns were salvaged and used in coastal artillery batteries. The guns formerly on the Aki were re-used in fortifications around Tokyo Bay.

The Type 41 10-inch gun fired a  shell with either an armor-piercing, high-explosive or general-purpose warhead.

United Kingdom service
Vickers supplied 5 of their 10-inch 45-calibre guns for use on the battleship Libertad that they were building for Chile. Britain took the ship over in 1903 as , and the guns were designated BL 10 inch Mk VII in UK service. These guns fired a  projectile using  of cordite MD propellant.

Italian service
The first two of the  armoured cruisers were each fitted with four of these guns.

Double Trouble is the fifteenth soundtrack album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley, released by RCA Victor in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 3787, in June 1967. It is the soundtrack to the  1967 film of the same name starring Presley. Recording sessions took place at Radio Recorders and at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios in Hollywood, California, on June 28, 29, and 30, 1966. It peaked at number 47 on the Billboard 200.

Background
After his enthusiasm for his gospel album How Great Thou Art made in the previous month in Nashville, the soundtrack returned Presley to the records for movies.

Content
Presley had usually insisted on working in the comfortable environment of a regular recording studio, and had avoided the large movie studio sound stages, but MGM executives with an eye on budgets insisted on moving the soundtrack recordings after the first night to just such a sound stage. A frustrated Elvis dutifully went along, but the final straw was having to sing "Old MacDonald," Presley storming out of the session in a huff after finishing a very short master recording of "Long Legged Girl (with the Short Dress On)." That song would be issued as a single in late April, prior to the film's premiere, and would peak at an anemic number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine songs were recorded for the film, coming in at a brief 17:11 and far too short for a normal LP. To bring up the running time, three tracks recorded at the "lost album" sessions of May 1963, were added to push the album over the twenty-minute mark. Two had already been issued as b-sides to singles, "Never Ending", the flipside to a four-year-old album track "Such a Night", and "Blue River" on the back of an eight-year-old vault track, "Tell Me Why." "It Won't Be Long" was recorded for the film but was not used.

Reissues
In 2004 Double Trouble was reissued on the Follow That Dream label in a special edition that contained the original album tracks along with a selection of alternate takes.

The 1990 San Francisco 49ers season was the franchise's 41st season in the National Football League (NFL) and their 45th overall. the team entered the 1990 season heavily favored to win their third consecutive Super Bowl. The season was highlighted by their victory over the New York Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 13. Throughout the season, the 49ers and the Giants were the two best teams in the NFL and they met again in the NFC Championship Game.

Between 1988 and 1990, the 49ers set a league record with 18 consecutive road victories. Jerry Rice had a career year by becoming the fourth receiver in the history of American football to have at least 100 receptions in one season. The 49ers won their fifth consecutive NFC West Division Title. Dating back to 1989, the 49ers completed a fifteen-game unbeaten streak in the regular season (5 victories in the last 5 games of 1989 and 10 victories in the first ten games of 1990).

The 49ers lost in the final seconds of the NFC Championship Game on a field goal by the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants, denying them a chance at a "three-peat" in the Super Bowl.

Following this season, the 49ers left team stalwarts Roger Craig (RB) and Ronnie Lott (FS) unprotected and let them go to the Los Angeles Raiders via Plan B free agency. Quarterback Joe Montana remained on the roster for the next two seasons, but never started another game for the 49ers.

Montana had the NFL's highest salary in 1990 at $4 million, and the 49ers had the league's highest team payroll ($26.8 million).

Just like the regular season game between the two teams won by the 49ers 7–3, the championship game was mostly a defensive battle. San Francisco running back Roger Craig's fumble with 2:36 left in the game led to Giants kicker Matt Bahr's 42-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. Bahr was New York's only scorer with 5 (of 6) field goals. Despite not scoring a TD in eight quarters against the 49ers, the Giants moved on to Super Bowl XXV with their victory.

General elections were held in the Republic of Serbia on 20 December 1992. The vote was held only two years after the previous election, and as a result of a referendum which approved holding early elections.

The elections were won by Slobodan Milošević and his Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), which won 101 of the 250 seats in the National Assembly. The SPS formed a government with Vojislav Šešelj's Serbian Radical Party. The presidential election was marked by a total domination of state-run media by Slobodan Milošević with accusations of voter fraud and tampering. Milan Panić refused to accept the result, and stated that he believed he was the true winner of the election.

Background
Slobodan Milošević was a candidate of the Socialist Party of Serbia and was solely endorsed by the Serbian Radical Party.

Milan Panić was an independent candidate endorsed by the Democratic Movement of Serbia and the Democratic Party (Serbia). The elections were boycotted by political parties  of ethnic Kosovo Albanians, who made up around 17% of the population.

Rise and Fall is the first album by American neo-psychedelic rock band the Warlocks. It was released by Bomp! Records in 2001.

Content
The album has been compared to early Pink Floyd and also to the work of the Velvet Underground and more recent space rock acts, such as Spacemen 3.

The UK version of the album features a different track selection and ordering, modified to include tracks from the Warlocks' previous self-titled EP. The album's experimental structure, opening on the US version with a fourteen-minute instrumental and featuring a number of rough jams, would surprise and divide critics, both being remarked on as a highlight, while also being panned as not translating well from live performance to the studio.

Track listing
"Jam of the Witches"
"House of Glass"
"Skull Death Drum Jam"
"Whips of Mercy"
"Song for Nico"
"Left and Right of the Moon"
"Motorcycles"
"Heavy Bomber"

Trust Me is the biggest-selling Indian chick lit novel. Written by Rajashree, it is set in Bollywood, the Bombay film industry and uses the narrative structure of a 'masala' Bollywood film.

Explanation of the novel's title

The title of Trust Me comes from an old joke that is quoted in the novel:

‘You didn’t let me open your hand in the beginning, and even when you did, you opened it very slowly – that shows that you don’t trust easily,’ he said. ‘You’re too closed as a person. Open up, you’ll enjoy life more.’

I took my hand back from him and lit a cigarette.

‘Do you know what “trust me” means in Polish?’ I asked.

He shook his head.

‘What?’

“‘Fuck you.’”

He laughed. I smiled.

‘So, when a guy says “trust me”,’ I said to him, ‘a warning bell rings in my head.’

He made a face. ‘Why are you so hard, so defensive?’

‘Have to be, living in Bombay, alone.’

Plot summary

Set against the backdrop of the Hindi film industry, Trust Me is a comic story about love, heart-break and friendship. The protagonist, Parvati, decides to go off men when she is dumped by her boyfriend. She concludes that her girlfriends are right: all men are bastards. Her boss, the fatherly Mr Bose, is the one shoulder she can cry on. He is also the one man she never expects a pass from. She stands corrected: all men ARE bastards. Her girlfriends manage to keep their I-told-you-so’s to themselves.

Parvati quits her job, and joins the unit of Jambuwant (‘Call me Jumbo!’) Sinha, assisting him in making his latest Hindi feature film. ‘Jumbo’ is a Bombay film-maker archetype: he believes in white shoes, black money and the casting couch. Manoj, the chief assistant, makes a pass at every woman he meets because he doesn’t want anybody to feel unwanted. And Rahul, an actor, claims to have fallen in love with her.

Parvati hopes she is older now, and smarter - but perhaps not smart enough, because, very inconveniently, she finds herself liking Rahul far too much.

Literary significance and reception

Geordie Greig, editor, Tatler, and former literary editor, Sunday Times called Trust Me ‘a most enjoyable read.’ Kiran Nagarkar, author, Cuckold, said, 'Rajashree... has a genuine comic talent.’ Michele Roberts, author and former Man Booker judge, said about the book, ‘A feminist romance set in the Bombay film industry. Terrific story. Loved the humour.’

The book was received enthusiastically by magazines like Femina who said, ‘Looking for an exciting chick-lit book with a twist? Then you simply will not be able to resist Trust Me by Rajashree.’  Marie Claire said, ‘In this lighthearted debut, Rajashree balances comic and sad moods perfectly. A fun read!’  Cosmopolitan said, 'A weekend must-read for every chick-lit lover. Go get it!'

The book sold 25,000 copies in the first month after its release. Its popularity can be seen in the context of the rise of regional varieties of chick-lit. Sometimes referred to as 'ladki-lit', Indian chick-lit seems to be coming of age.

In an interview to the New York Times, Helen Fielding said, 'I think it had far more to do with zeitgeist than imitation.' If the chick lit explosion has 'led to great new female writers emerging from Eastern Europe and India, then it's worth any number of feeble bandwagon jumpers.'  Sunaina Kumar wrote in the Indian Express, 'Ten years after the publication of Bridget Jones's Diary, the genre of fiction most recognisable for its pink cover art of stilettos, martini glasses and lipsticks, is now being colourfully infused with bindis, saris, and bangles.

St Mary's Church is in the West Bank area of Widnes, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Liverpool, the archdeaconry of Warrington and the deanery of Widnes. Together with the churches of St Paul, Widnes, and St Mary, Hale, it forms the South Widnes Team. It has been described as "the last great church masterpiece" created by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley.

History
The first church in West Bank, known as Widnes Dock Church and dedicated to St Mary, was opened in 1858. This church was never completed and consisted only of the nave. It had been built on chemical waste which subsided, leading to bulging of the walls and twisting of the roof. In the early 1900s a new site was obtained near the promenade, and money was raised for a new church. The foundation stone was laid on 14 May 1908 and the church was opened on 12 November 1910. The church was designed by Austin and Paley, cost £16,669 in total (equivalent to £ in ), which included £5,400 for the site, and provided seating for 770 people.

Architecture

Exterior
The church is built in red flecked sandstone, and the nave roof is in Ruabon tiles. The aisle roofs are in lead. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles which embrace a west tower, and north and south transepts, a chancel. The northwest porch is set at an angle to the church and the south porch is perpendicular to it. The church is built in Perpendicular style. The north transept is in one bay and includes the organ. The south transept is in three bays and forms a Lady chapel. The tower has a projecting octagonal staircase on the southeast corner and buttresses on the southeast corner. An inscribed frieze of the Te Deum runs around the tower and below the parapet of the south and east sides of the church.

Interior
The furnishings are of oak and were designed by the architects. The font is made of Darley Dale stone. The stained glass in the east window depicts the Ascension and an Apocalyptic Vision and was designed by Shrigley and Hunt.  The three-manual organ was built by Wm. Hill and Son in 1902 and restored and enlarged between 1936 and 1947 by Henry Willis & Sons.

External features

An octagonal wayside pulpit is set into the boundary wall of the church. Also designed by Austin and Paley, it is constructed in red sandstone and approached by six steps. The text "Go out into the highways and compel them to come in that my house may be filled" (from ) is cut into its masonry. It is listed at Grade II.

was one of four principal naval shipyards owned and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy.

History

The Maizuru Naval District was established at Maizuru, Kyoto Prefecture in 1889, as the fourth of the naval districts responsible for the defense of the Japanese home islands. After the establishment of the navy base, a ship repair facility was established in 1901 with a dry dock. With the addition of equipment and facilities for ship production by 1903, the Maizuru Naval Arsenal was officially established.

Additional dry docks were completed in 1904 and 1914. When the No. 3 dry dock was completed in 1914, it was the largest in Japan at the time. In 1923, after the Washington Naval Treaty, there were discussions within the Navy Ministry about closing the facility, and it was largely mothballed until 1936. Afterwards, it reopened and expanded, building ships, aircraft and weapons for the military.
It specialized mostly in destroyer-size and smaller vessels.

Post WW II
In the post-World War II period, a private company, Iino Industries Co. Ltd., took over and formed the Maizuru Shipyards.

In 1963, the name was changed to Maizuru Heavy Industries. In 1971, it was merged with Hitachi Zosen Corporation. In 2002, Hitachi Zosen spun off the shipbuilder into a joint venture with JFE Engineering called Universal Shipbuilding Corporation. Universal Shipbuilding Corporation and IHI Marine United Inc. united and became Japan Marine United in 2013.

The former head office and some warehouses associated with the shipyards are preserved as commemorative museums by the Maizuru city government. The pre-war dry docks and one of the large cranes are still in use today.

The Gene Siskel Film Center, formerly The Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and commonly referred to as The Film Center or The Gene Siskel, is the cinematheque attached to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. It is named after popular film critic Gene Siskel.

Along with Doc Films at the University of Chicago and the Block Museum of Northwestern University, the Film Center is one of Chicago's key revival houses, and hosts at least one major retrospective per month. Unlike Doc or Block, the Film Center also serves as a venue for first runs of foreign and independent films and is not student-run. Amongst other things, this means the Film Center maintains a year-round staff and does not cease operation when The School of the Art Institute closes for semester breaks.

The Film Center reportedly averages 1,500 screenings a year.

History
The Film Center was founded as The Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1972. It moved to its current location, 164 N State St. in the Chicago Loop neighborhood of Chicago, in June 2001; the Film Center was officially renamed during the move. The current location is directly across the street from the Chicago Theatre and directly south of the ABC Building, where Siskel & Ebert and successor series Ebert & Roeper recorded weekly from 1996 until 2008.

Its current facilities, which consist of two theaters capable of projecting most formats, are considered state-of-the-art.

Ann Baynard  (sometimes spelled Anne) (1672 in Preston, Lancashire, England – 12 June 1697, Barnes, Surrey) was a British natural philosopher and model of piety.  She sought discussions with atheists and non-Christians. Later, during her eulogy, Reverend Prude called her philosophical knowledge of this 20-year-old woman the same size as that of an "old bearded male philosopher"

Life
Like most young women of her class, Ann Baynard was tutored by her father, Edward Baynard (c. 1641–1717), physician and pseudonymous poet and a member of the Royal College of Physicians in London, in science, mathematics, philosophy, and classical languages and literature. Her education encompassed classical languages and philosophy as well as science and mathematics, preparing her for a scholarly life. Considered in her time an exemplar of piety and virtue, her erudition was directed to the elucidation of Protestant theology; she disdained secular learning for its own sake. Although she wrote a number of texts in Latin and English, none has survived, but she was distinguished in particular for her facility in Latin.

Baynard declared that secular learning was worthless unless it led to knowledge of God. She was a diligent churchgoer, never missing daily services unless prevented by illness, and spent much of her time in solitary meditation and other pious exercises. Generous to the poor, she set aside a fixed portion of her income for charity. Baynard was active in her attempts to persuade others to lead a religious life. She urged all young people to study philosophy, and, especially, to read the Bible, with a particular appeal to her own sex to make an effort to educate themselves.

Her epitaph read:

"Here lies that happy maiden, who often said,
That no man is happy until he is dead;
That the business of life is but playing the fool,
Which hath no relation to saving the soul:
For all the transaction that's under the sun,
Is doing of nothing—if that be not done,
All wisdom and knowledge does lie in this one."
Anne Baynard obiit June 12. An. ætat. suæ 25. Christi 1697.
O mortales! quotusquisque vestrum cogitet ex hoc momento pendet æternitas."

Quotation
"I would wish that all young persons might be exhorted to read the great book of nature, wherein they may see the wisdom and power of the Creator, in the order of the universe, and in the production of all things." — Anne Baynard, 1697

It was established in summer 1992, mostly by students from University College Dublin who had been active members of UCD Dramsoc, the student drama society. Regular members of the company were Richard Brennan, Jason Byrne, Kevin Hely, Peter McDonald, Conor McPherson, Colin O'Connor, and Valerie Spelman. The company was originally set up to produce new plays. Its first production was Radio Play (Concerning Communication) by Conor McPherson. The original cast included Brennan, Byrne, Hely, and McPherson, as well as Rebecca Bickerdike, Ciara Considine, and Coilín O Connor. McPherson also directed the production, which was performed from August 17–29, 1992 at the International Bar in Dublin.

The company went on to produce the following plays by McPherson:
 A Light in the Window of Industry (International Bar, August 3–21, 1993)
 Inventing Fortune's Wheel (Firkin Crane Theatre, Cork, March 3, 1994)
 The Light of Jesus (aka The Good Thief) (City Arts Centre, April 18–30, 1994)
 The Stars Lose Their Glory (International Bar, August 1–13, 1994)
 Rum and Vodka (City Arts Centre, September 1994)
 This Lime Tree Bower (jointly with Íomha Ildánach Theatre Company, Crypt Arts Centre, Dublin Castle, October 26, 1995; project@the mint and national tour, 1998)
and the following plays by Colin O'Connor:
 Van Gogh's Ear (International Bar, August 16, 1993)
 The Stranger (Player's Theatre, July 16, 1996)
 All Those Trammelling Dreams (Crypt Arts Centre, Dublin Castle, 1997)
 The Last Days of God (THEatre Space @ Henry Place, May 31 – June 17, 2000).

Though nominally a company, "Fly by Night" is really just an umbrella name under which a group of friends can make productions on their own terms. The company has not made any new performances since June 2000. Conor McPherson is an internationally renowned playwright, theatre director, film director, and sometime actor. Peter McDonald is a successful film and stage actor. Jason Byrne is a successful theatre director.

Slieve Rushen is a mountain which straddles the border between County Cavan in the Republic of Ireland and County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. It is also called Slieve Russell or Ligavegra (Also Legavagra, Ligavagra). It has an elevation of 404 metres above sea-level. OS 1/50k Mapsheet: 27A & 26. Grid Ref: H234 226.
The mountain is made up of grey limestone with a cap of sandstone and shales and is extensively quarried by local companies. The surface is mostly covered with peat, conifer forests and grazing fields. The mountain contains several caves and swallow-holes including Pollnagollum (Slieve Rushen) and Tory Hole which are a popular destination for potholers, both situate in Legavreagra townland. It forms part of the Slieve Rushen Bog Natural Heritage Area . A recent addition to the mountain is the Slieve Rushen Wind Farm for generating electricity.

Etymology

The name Slieve Rushen derives from the Gaelic ' Sliabh Ros-in ' which means "The Mountain of the Little Wood". However an alternative explanation of the name is given in a Middle Irish text c.1400 from The Yellow Book of Lecan entitled The Settling of the Manor of Tara, in which verse 34 states-

daughter of Toga of the grey stormy sea,

at that time ’twas a woman,

she from whom Sliabh Raisen is named.

The earliest surviving mention of the name occurs in the Lebor Gabála Érenn or Book of Invasions (c.1100) which lists the battles fought against the Vassal Tribes of Ireland by the high-king Túathal Techtmar in c.76 A.D.- He fought the battle of Raissen against Roiscderg of the kingship of Omrann, (Ro-fích cath Raissen fri Roiscderg ríge Omrann). Another early mention is in the Annals of the Four Masters for the year 1111 AD- A predatory excursion was made by Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair and he plundered Tearmann-Dabheog. Another predatory excursion was made by him; and he plundered as far as Beann-Eachlabhra, Sliabh-Ruisen and Loch-Eirne, (Creach lá Toirrdhealbhach Ua c-Conchobhair, go ro aircc Termann Dá Bheócc. Creach aile lais, gur ro aircc co Beind Eachlabhra, co Sliabh Rusén, & go Loch Erne). The Annals of Tigernach for the same year state- A raid by Toirdhealbhach Ó Conchobhair so that he plundered Termonn da Beoóic. Another raid by him in which he plundered up to Binaghlon and Slieve Rushel and Lough Erne, (Crech la Tairrdelbach O Concobair, cor' airg Termund Da Beoóc. Crech aile lais cor' airg co Bend Eachlabra & co Sliab Raissen & co Loch Eirne). Chronicon Scotorum for the same year states- A raid by Tairdelbach ua Conchobuir and he plundered Termonn Dabeoc. Another raid by him and he plundered to Benn Eclapra and to Sliab Rusen to Loch Érne, (Creach la Toirrdealbach h. Concupair gur airg Termann Dabeoc. Creach ele les gur airg go Binn Eclapra & go Sliabh Rusen & go Loch Erne).

A poem about the River Shannon, composed at the beginning of the 17th century by Tadg Óg Ó hUiginn (b. 1582) states in stanza 4- Mar mhusglas do mhór-bhuinne goirid bheag ó Shliabh Raisean, nochan ó Bhrian Bhóroimhe do budh cóir bheith dot bhaisdeadh (As thy mighty current awakens but a little space from Slieve Rushen, it is not after Brian Boru that it were right to christen thee).

History

The mountain has been inhabited since at least 3,000 B.C. as is evident from the ancient court cairns and wedge tombs still surviving, such as in the townlands of Doon (Tomregan), Aughrim and Aghnacally.

In the 1609 Plantation of Ulster, Slieve Rushen formed part of lands which were granted to John Sandford of Castle Doe, County Donegal by letters patent dated 7 July 1613 (Pat. 11 James I – LXXI – 38, ‘Slewrussell’). The grant basically included the top of the mountain only, as the townlands on the lower slopes had already been granted to other grantees in the Plantation, as appears on the 1609 Baronial maps and in later grants. The mountain was later sold by Sandford to his wife's uncle Toby Caulfeild, 1st Baron Caulfeild, Master of the Ordnance and Caulfield had the sale confirmed by letters patent of 12 July 1620 (Pat. 19 James I. XI. 45 ‘Slewrussell’). Coincidentally the mountain was later part owned by John Sandford's daughter, Magdalen Gwyllym the wife of Thomas Gwyllym, the owner of the Ballyconnell estate.

Myles 'The Slasher' O'Reilly fought the Battle of Sliabh Russell against Captain Galbraith in the 1641 Rebellion, according to Dr. Thomas Fitzsimons writing in 1670. Conchabhar Ó Luinín in a list of Irish battles of 1641, which he composed in the 17th century, mentioned: Briseadh Shleibhe Roisil air Eirennea[c]huibh ('The defeat of the Irish at Sliabh Russell').

After the Battle of Scarrifholis on 21 June 1650, at the end of the Irish Confederate Wars, the defeated Irish rebels scattered and according to the journal of Colonel Henry McTully O'Neill- After this, every one shifted for himself the best he could, except some parties who kept out about Sleaue Russell in Ulster, no general protection granted.

This partial list of city nicknames in the State of Ohio compiles the aliases, sobriquets and slogans that cities in Ohio are known by (or have been known by historically), officially and unofficially, to municipal governments, local people, outsiders or their tourism boards or chambers of commerce. City nicknames can help in establishing a civic identity, helping outsiders recognize a community or attracting people to a community because of its nickname; promote civic pride; and build community unity. Nicknames and slogans that successfully create a new community "ideology or myth" are also believed to have economic value. Their economic value is difficult to measure, but there are anecdotal reports of cities that have achieved substantial economic benefits by "branding" themselves by adopting new slogans.

December
Although the Rose Bowl was the lone postseason game, and other bowl games were still four years in the future, several big contests were played after most colleges had completed their seasons.

December 6 In Los Angeles, a crowd of 90,000 turned out at the Coliseum as Notre Dame (9–0–0) visited USC (8–1–0).  While some predicted a Trojans win, or at least a close game, "Rockne's Ramblers" scored six minutes into the game and never looked back.  Paul O'Connor, a third string player earlier in the season, had 11 carries for 142 yards, and one touchdown.  The Irish closed their season with a decisive 27–0 victory  and with another victory over a tough opponent, finished first in the Dickinson ratings.   Nobody realized at the time that Knute Rockne had coached his final game.  Rockne was killed in a plane crash on March 31, 1931.  At Jacksonville, Tennessee defeated Florida 13–6.

December 13 In the Army–Navy Game, played in New York, Army won 6–0 to close its season at 9–1–1.

1931 Rose Bowl

The Rose Bowl stadium's capacity had been increased to 81,000, but only 65,000 spectators turned out to watch an East-West matchup between two unbeaten (9–0–0), but out-of-state teams, the Washington State Cougars and the Alabama Crimson Tide.  It was the Cougars who were decked out in crimson, however, in what reports of the day described as "a bizarre touch".  Besides solid red jerseys, pants and socks, the WSU players had bright red leather helmets and shoes.

Freddie Sington, Bama's star tackle/linebacker, was pitted against WSU's Turk Edwards, and blocked WSU's only chance to score.  In addition, Sington blocked for the rushing of Johnny Campbell, "The Mississippi Rabbit", who ran 42 yards for one of Alabama's three touchdowns in the second quarter.  After a 21–0 halftime lead, Alabama went on to a 24–0 win.

Dickinson System
The AP sportswriters' poll would not begin continuously until 1936. (although, the first time was a one instance publishing in 1934)  Frank G. Dickinson, an economics professor at the University of Illinois, had invented the Dickinson System to rank colleges based upon their records and the strength of their opposition.

The system was originally designed to rank teams in the Big Nine (later the Big Ten) conference.  Chicago clothing manufacturer Jack Rissman then persuaded Dickinson to rank the nation's teams under the system, and awarded the Rissman Trophy to the winning university.

The system awarded 30 points for a win over a "strong team", and 20 for a win over a "weak team".  Losses were awarded points (15 for loss to a strong team, 10 for loss to a weak team).  Ties were treated as half a win and half a loss (22.5 for a tie with a strong team, 15 for a tie with a weak team).  An average was then derived by dividing the points by games played.

Final Dickinson rankings
Notre Dame, Washington State and Alabama, all unbeaten and untied at the end of the regular season, were ranked first, second and third by Dickinson, with the Irish getting the higher rating based on their opposition.  The ratings were made before the 1931 Rose Bowl that matched Washington State and Alabama, with Alabama winning, 24 to 0.   Notre Dame did not participate in a postseason bowl game.

Macht Liebe (meaning either "Power – love" or "Make love") is the eighth studio album by German pop duo Rosenstolz, released in 2002 by Polydor Records. Featuring a mix of electropop and ballads, the album reached gold status in Germany.

Composition
A change in Rosenstolz's musical style can be found in Macht Liebe, with the album containing electropop songs influenced by the Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave), such as "Sternraketen", "Macht Liebe" and "Paradies". According to musician Peter Plate of Rosenstolz, the electronic influences in the album were due in part to nostalgia, the band having attempted to make purely electropop at the start of its career. Plate had stumbled across some demo tapes made by Rosenstolz in 1991 and, feeling enthusiastic about the tapes, decided it was time for the band to have another go at electropop. Plate also stated that the idea behind "Sternraketen" was to pay a small homage to the Neue Deutsche Welle era. In addition to the electropop songs, Macht Liebe also contains ballads, such as "Es tut immer noch weh" and "Prinzessin auf dem Abstellgleis".

Some of the songs in Macht Liebe were written by Rosenstolz in cooperation with other artists. These songs include "Macht Liebe", which was co-written by Inga Humpe, the singer from German pop duo 2raumwohnung, and "Es tut immer noch weh", which was co-written by Ralf Lübke, Rosenstolz's live guitarist.

Release
Macht Liebe was released on 9 September 2002. In addition to the standard album, there was also a limited edition album.

Two singles were released from Macht Liebe. The first was the double single "Sternraketen" / "Macht Liebe", which came out before the album and peaked at No. 11 in the German singles chart. The second single was "Es tut immer noch weh", which was released a few months after the album came out and reached No. 21 in the German singles chart.

Following the release of Macht Liebe, Rosenstolz went on a concert tour between 1 November 2002 and 21 December 2002. All the concerts were performed at venues within Germany. Six concerts were given in the Columbiahalle (Columbia Hall) in Berlin, where Rosenstolz's live performance was recorded. This recording was later released on CD and DVD in 2003 as the live album Live aus Berlin.

Critical reception
Linus Schwanke of German music magazine laut.de commented that Macht Liebe was a wonderful album with much to discover. Felix Kosel of German music magazine bloom was tempted to say that Macht Liebe was the best Rosenstolz album so far and described it as being novel, refreshing, emotional, danceable, melancholic, varied and still typical Rosenstolz. Anja Kesting of German women's magazine AVIVA-Berlin talked of the varied and high-octane sound of Macht Liebe.

WVOJ (1570 AM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Fernandina Beach, Florida, and serving the Jacksonville metropolitan area.  The station is currently owned by Norsan Consulting And Management, Inc.  WVOJ airs a Regional Mexican radio format, largely simulcast with several other radio stations in the Southern U. S., including North Carolina and South Carolina.

WVOJ broadcasts at 10,000 watts by day, but because AM 1570 is a clear channel frequency, WVOJ must reduce its power at night to only 30 watts to avoid interfering with other radio stations.  1570 AM is a Mexican clear-channel frequency, on which XERF-AM in Ciudad Acuña is the dominant Class A station.
