Historically, Renton Hill was a neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States. Centered roughly at 18th Avenue and Madison Street, it was roughly the southern part of today's Capitol Hill plus a large adjacent section south of Madison Street. It was named after lumberman and merchant Captain William Renton (1818-1891) and replaced the earlier name of Second Hill.

The Renton Hill Community Improvement Club was the city's first community club, organized in 1901 for public improvements such as water, sidewalks, lighting, and beautification. Along with the Capitol Hill Community Club, the club reorganized in 1929 to exclude racial minorities, using a restrictive covenant. This was in reaction to encroaching African American population from the east, Asian from the south, and urban downtown from the west.

The name Renton Hill has fallen into disuse within Seattle, possibly to avoid confusion with a neighborhood in nearby Renton, WA, also named Renton Hill. The portion of Renton Hill north of Madison Street has been subsumed into Capitol Hill while the portion south of it is now commonly referred to as Cherry Hill.

Son Goku was a German rock band who played a mix of hardcore punk, alternative, reggae, and electronic sounds. The band was named after the Son Goku character in the Dragon Ball series. Son Goku's first and only album, Crashkurs (Crash course), was released in 2002 and reached a peak position of 15 on the Media Control Charts. The group has since disbanded due to "dissension" amongst the members.

History

Origins
Son Goku was a side project of Thomas D of Die Fantastischen Vier. The band originated from the M.A.R.S. (Moderne Anstalt Rigoroser Spakker, or Modern Institute of Adamant Spakkers), a commune of artists and musicians founded by Thomas D in 1998. Thomas D named the band after Son Goku, the protagonist of the Dragon Ball animated series, as the character embodied the band's philosophy; he stated he was "fascinated by Goku's naïveté and cheerfulness, yet, at the same time, a great warrior saving the world".

Music
Son Goku was formed with the "desire for a new form of expression and a fresh sound", resulting in a mix of hardcore punk, alternative, reggae, and electronic sounds. Established band members and access to their own recording studio at the M.A.R.S. commune allowed for experimentation with the genres.

Son Goku's only single, "Alle für jeden", was released on 17 June 2002, followed by the album Crashkurs on 29 July 2002.

Son Goku disbanded on or before 1 January 2003, due to 'dissension' amongst the members.

The history of art in the San Francisco Bay Area includes major contributions to contemporary art, including Abstract Expressionism. The area is known for its cross-disciplinary artists like Bruce Conner, Bruce Nauman, and Peter Voulkos as well as a large number of non-profit alternative art spaces including New Langton Arts, Intersection for the Arts, and Southern Exposure.  San Francisco Bay Area Visual Arts has undergone many permutations paralleling  innovation and hybridity in literature and theater.

Artists 1950-present
Paralleling a new interest in eastern philosophy and Zen via Alan Watts and the literary and poetic irreverence of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, and others, visual artists such as Bruce Conner and Jay DeFeo diverged from the Abstract Expressionism of the east coast to make connections between sculpture and painting. Connor's found material assemblages, collages and experimental films make him an early cross-disciplinary pioneer.

Painter Wayne Thiebaud's paintings of commonplace products such as toys or gumball machines paralleled the pop influenced Funk style. Involving bright colors, humor and word-play, Funk is most often associated with the ceramic work of Robert Arneson, and the paintings of William T. Wiley. All three, along with Roy De Forest and Manuel Neri taught at UC Davis in the 60s and 70s. (Artist and educator Peter Voulkos set the stage for Funk by reengaging ceramics as part of contemporary studio practice.) Bruce Nauman, who is often credited with dissolving the medium specific practices of previous generations, went to UC Davis and studied under William Wiley.

By the end of the 1960s Conceptual Art and Minimal Art were reforming the aesthetics and values of visual art. Bay Area artists responded to the dominance of the white cube, and transitioned from an object-oriented to a systems-oriented practice inspired by Marcel Duchamp. In the Bay Area, starting in the 1970s, Artists such as Tom Marioni, Paul Kos, Howard Fried and Terry Fox, explored the intersection of performance and sculpture. Also picking up on conceptualism, with an added materialist strain, was David Ireland. Tony Labat brought a political dimension to Bay Area conceptualism, with video, performance and installation works that confronted issues of cultural identity, loss and displacement.

In 1967 The Experimental Television Project (later renamed the National Center for Experiments in Television), housed at KQED studios was one of the first programs in the nation to give artists access to television studios and equipment. Groups like Ant Farm, Video Free America, and T.R. Uthco working in the same moment were video recording "happening" performances, and experimenting with light sound and time.

Public Art
The San Francisco Bay Area has a variety of public art, including murals and graffiti in many locations.

Biharwe  Football Club  was a Ugandan football club located in Biharwe, Mbarara in Western Uganda.  The club played in the Ugandan Super League in the 2007–08 season but there is currently no FUFA records that the club is still operating.

History
In the 2006 season, Biharwe FC reached the semi-finals of the Western Region Mini League before going down to Masindi Town Council FC. In the 2006–07 season Biharwe were more successful and progressed to the finals of the Western Region Mini League (in Bushenyi) by defeating Kilembe Mines FC 4–0 in the semi-finals.  In the zone final they beat Toro United 2–1 to gain promotion to the Uganda Super League.

Like most teams making their debut into the Super League, Biharwe found the gulf in standards too great and failed to survive the relegation battle, finally finishing in 18th position at the bottom of the division.

State Center / Cultural Center station is an underground Metro SubwayLink station in Baltimore, Maryland. It is a transit hub offering connections to Light RailLink, the tenth most northern and western station on the line, the first one in the area viewed by many as "downtown Baltimore," and is within a 2 block walk of the Cultural Center / State Center station on the Baltimore Light Rail via Preston Street, and many area landmarks.

The stations elevator and escalator entrance is located on the corner of West Preston Street and North Eutaw Street which is directly adjacent to the Maryland States Office Complex, hence the name "State Center." It is within the boundaries of the Madison Park neighborhood and is also very close to the adjacent neighborhoods of Bolton Hill, Mid-Town Belvedere, Mount Vernon, and Seton Hill.

Station layout

Artwork

State Center station features a mobile sculpture entitled "Venter," which is suspended in a large opening between its upper and lower level. The sculpture was created by Baltimore artist Paul Daniel at a $39,000 commission in 1983.

History

State Center station was initially referred to as the Bolton Hill station during its planning and construction, in reference to the adjacent neighborhood to the site's north.

Excavation and construction

The Bolton Hill tunnels constructed around State Center station were driven with a shield through Cretaceous alluvium and through mica schist-derived residual materials. Hand mining was required to advance the face of the tunnel in some areas where the alignment passed through more resistant, hard residual materials.

Lithuania participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Nomads in the Night" written by Vytautas Diškevičius and Jeronimas Milius. The song was performed by Jeronimas Milius. The Lithuanian broadcaster Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT) organised the national final "Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka (Eurovision Song Contest national selection) in order to select the Lithuanian entry for the 2008 contest in Belgrade, Serbia. The national final took place over four weeks and involved 34 competing entries. Entries that advanced in the competition were determined by the combination of votes from a jury panel and a public vote. In the final, fourteen entries remained and a public vote entirely selected "Nomads in the Night" performed by Jeronimas Milius as the winner with 11,674 votes.

Lithuania was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 22 May 2008. Performing during the show in position 5, "Nomads in the Night" was not announced among the 10 qualifying entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Lithuania placed sixteenth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 30 points.

Background

Prior to the 2008 contest, Lithuania had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest eight times since its first entry in 1994. The nation’s best placing in the contest was sixth, which it achieved in 2006 with the song "We Are the Winners" performed by LT United. Following the introduction of semi-finals in 2004, Lithuania, to this point, has managed to qualify to the final two times. In the 2007 contest, "Love or Leave" performed by 4Fun automatically qualified to the final where the song scored 28 points and placed 21st.

For the 2008 contest, the Lithuanian national broadcaster, Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT), broadcast the event within Lithuania and organised the selection process for the nation's entry. Other than the internal selection of their debut entry in 1994, Lithuania has selected their entry consistently through a national final procedure. LRT confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest on 29 October 2007 and announced the organization of "Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka, which would be the national final to select Lithuania's entry for Belgrade.

Before Eurovision

"Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka
"Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka (Eurovision Song Contest national selection) was the national final format developed by LRT in order to select Lithuania's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. The competition involved a four-week-long process that commenced on 12 January 2008 and concluded with a winning song and artist on 2 February 2008. The four shows took place at the LRT studios in Vilnius and were broadcast on LTV, LTV World and Lietuvos Radijas as well as online via the broadcaster's website lrt.lt.

Format
The Lithuanian broadcaster downsized the format of the national final from that of previous years. The 2008 competition involved 34 entries and consisted of four shows. 32 of the entries participated in the first three shows which were the semi-finals. Each semi-final consisted of ten or twelve entries each and the top four proceeded to the final. The results of the semi-finals were determined by the 50/50 combination of votes from a three-member jury panel and public televoting. Each jury member had an equal stake in the final result and the public televote had a weighting equal to the votes of three jury members. Ties were decided in favour of the entry that received the most votes from the public. An additional two artists that entered the competition were established with prior Eurovision experience, having participated in the Lithuanian national final in previous years, and therefore their entries competed directly in the final. In the final, the winner was selected from the remaining fourteen entries solely by public televoting. The public could vote through telephone and SMS voting.

Competing entries
LRT opened a submission period on 29 October 2007 for artists and songwriters to submit their entries with the deadline on 10 December 2007. On 4 January 2008, LRT announced the 36 entries selected for the competition from 73 submissions received. Two of the selected entries were entered by established artists and automatically advanced to the final: "Troy on Fire" performed by Aistė Pilvelytė and "To My Soul" performed by Julija and Girma. Julija represented Lithuania at Eurovision in 2007 as part of 4Fun. The final changes to the list of 36 competing acts were later made with withdrawal of the song "Let's Sing It" performed by Vudis and Grūdas on 16 January 2008 and the disqualification of the song "Final Shot" performed by Suicide DJ's on 23 February 2008 due to it being publicly performed before 1 October 2007.

Shows

Semi-finals
The three semi-finals of the competition aired on 12, 19 and 26 January 2008 and featured the 32 competing entries. The semi-finals were hosted by Rolandas Vilkončius. The members of the jury in the first semi-final consisted of Darius Užkuraitis (Opus 3 director), Neda Malunavičiūtė (singer) and Robertas Aleksaitis (actor), while the jury in the second semi-final consisted of Vytautas Juozapaitis (opera singer), Aras Vėberis (producer) and Jurijus Smoriginas (choreographer), and the jury in the third semi-final consisted of Alanas Chošnau (singer-songwriter), Rosita Čivilytė (singer) and Zita Kelmickaitė (musicologist). The top four entries advanced to the final from each semi-final, while the bottom entries were eliminated.

Final
The final of the competition took place on 2 February 2008 and was hosted by Giedrius Masalskis and Gabrielė Bartkutė. The show featured the remaining twelve entries that qualified from the three semi-finals alongside the two automatic qualifiers and "Nomads in the Night" performed by Jeronimas Milius was selected as the winner after gaining the most votes from the public. In addition to the performances of the competing entries, Ruslan Alekhno performed the 2008 Belarusian Eurovision entry "Hasta la vista" as the interval act.

Promotion
Jeronimas Milius specifically promoted "Nomads in the Night" as the Lithuanian Eurovision entry on 1 March 2008 by performing the song during the final of the Latvian Eurovision national final Eirodziesma 2008.

At Eurovision
It was announced in September 2007 that the competition's format would be expanded to two semi-finals in 2008. According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top nine songs from each semi-final as determined by televoting progress to the final, and a tenth was determined by back-up juries. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 28 January 2008, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals. Lithuania was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 22 May 2008. The running order for the semi-finals was decided through another draw on 17 March 2008 and Lithuania was set to perform in position 5, following the entry from Ukraine and before the entry from Albania.

The two semi-finals and final were broadcast in Lithuania on LTV and LTV World with commentary by Darius Užkuraitis. The Lithuanian spokesperson, who announced the Lithuanian votes during the final, was Rolandas Vilkončius.

Semi-final

Jeronimas Milius took part in technical rehearsals on 14 and 18 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 21 and 22 May. The Lithuanian performance featured Jeronimas Milius performing on stage alone with dark blue stage colours and the LED screens displaying a shining moon. The performance also featured smoke effects. At the end of the show, Lithuania was not announced among the top 10 entries in the second semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Lithuania placed sixteenth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 30 points.

Voting
Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Lithuania and awarded by Lithuania in the semi-final and grand final of the contest. The nation awarded its 12 points to Latvia in the semi-final and to Russia in the final of the contest.

Walla Walla Community College (WWCC), often referred to as just "CC" locally, is a multi-campus community college in southeastern Washington state.

History
Walla Walla Community College was founded in 1967 by Peter Dietrich when the region saw a need for a community college. It was first housed in the educational complex on Park St. previously occupied by Walla Walla High School before that school moved to its current facility south of town. When WWCC grew too big for this location, it purchased land to the east of town near the airport and built its current facilities there. Eventually a branch campus was established in Clarkston, WA, 100 miles to the east as well.

WWCC added one of its most important programs, the enological and viticulture program, in the late 1990s when the town of Walla Walla was facing economic uncertainty due to the decline of the agriculture industry locally. This program is responsible in part for the boom of the wine industry in Walla Walla in that it has graduated many of the winemakers of the over 175 wineries in the area today. From here WWCC has had several more non-traditional programs, in addition to more typical programs to meet the needs of the Walla Walla Valley such as the Commercial Truck Driver Program, John Deere Technology Program, and Water Technologies and Management Program.

Most recently, WWCC is in the process of completing the Southeast Area Tech Skills Center (SEA Tech Center) expansion. This includes a multimillion-dollar building at the main campus to house an array of new programs in cooperation with area high schools.

In 2013, Walla Walla Community College was awarded the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence.

Campus
The college is spread over three campuses in southeastern Washington state. The WWCC also maintains a facility at the Washington State Penitentiary.

Academics
The college has an average annual enrollment of about 9,000 students. It has numerous areas of study and certificates, as well as 45 different associate degree programs.

Athletics

WWCC fields teams (stylized as the Walla Walla Warriors) in eleven sports. In the Fall, Warrior Field plays host to men's and women's soccer, while volleyball takes center stage in the Dietrich Center – often referred to as 'The Dome'. The winter quarter sees The Dome taken over by the men's and women's basketball, while the spring months offer baseball, softball, men's and women's golf, and rodeo. The Warriors play in the Northwest Intercollegiate Athletic Association (NWAC)

The 1927 college football season ended with the Illini of the University of Illinois (7–0–1) being recognized as champion under the Dickinson System.  At season's end, the Rissler Cup was awarded to the team that finished first in the "Dickinson ratings", which considered strength of schedule, in that a win, loss or tie against a "strong" opponent was worth more than one against a lesser team, and the results were averaged.

In the final week, Georgia's "Dream and Wonder team" was upset by Georgia Tech. Georgia had upset Eastern power Yale 14–10. Though most selectors retrospectively named either Illinois or Georgia as their 1927 national champions, over a half-century later Jeff Sagarin, a computer-based selector, named Dana X. Bible's Texas Aggies as the No. 1 team.

In the Rose Bowl, the Pittsburgh Panthers (8–0–1) were invited to play against the Pacific Coast Conference champion.  Though USC and Stanford had identical records in conference play, Stanford was given a chance to "avenge" its 7–7 tie against Alabama in the previous year's Rose Bowl. Stanford won 7–6.

Rule changes
The major rules change in 1927 was the moving of the goal posts from the goal line, to the end of the end zone, where they have been ever since.  The move was for both safety reasons and to de-emphasize the kicking game

Conference and program changes

Conference changes
Three conferences began play in 1927:
Arkansas Association – active through the 1929 season
Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference – an NAIA conference active through the 1994 season
Smoky Mountain Conference – active through the 1957 season
One conference played its final season in 1927:
Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference – active since the 1890 season; previously known as the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Association and Kansas College Athletic Conference; replaced by a conference with the same name that is an active NAIA conference
Two conferences changed in their name in 1927:
The Inter-Normal Athletic Conference of Wisconsin changed its name to the Wisconsin State Teachers College Conference, the name it would retain through the 1951 season
The Nebraska Intercollegiate Conference changed its name to the Nebraska College Athletic Conference, the name it would retain until its dissolution after the 1976 season.

Program changes
 Bowling Green Normal College officially changed their nickname from the Normals, adopting their present moniker, the Falcons.
After Oregon Agricultural College changed its name to Oregon State Agricultural College, the Oregon Agricultural Aggies became the Oregon State Aggies.

Rose Bowl

As the only post-season college football game, the Rose Bowl sought an East-West matchup between the best available eastern team and the PCC champion.  In 1927, the Pitt Panthers had finished the season at 8–0–1, with seven shutouts against various levels of opposition, while Stanford had won the Pacific Coast Conference going 8–2–1.  Since January 1, 1928, fell on a Sunday, the game was played on Monday, January 2.  Stanford Punter Frankie Wilton had been the "goat" of the 1927 Rose Bowl, after an Alabama defender broke through the line, blocked his kick, and set up the Tide's tying touchdown.  Wilton lost the ball after being hit on his own 20 yard line, and Pitt's Jimmy Hagan ran the fumble in for a touchdown.  Walter Heinecke of Stanford blocked the point attempt, holding Pitt's lead to 6–0.  Wilton's chance at redemption came later, when his teammate Spud Lewis fumbled a yard from goal.  Wilton scooped up the ball and crashed through for the tying touchdown.  The Stanford kick was good, and the Indians held on for a 7–6 win.

National championship
Texas A&M was awarded the 1927 national championship. Georgia's "Dream and Wonder team" was also chosen a national champion. They defeated Yale, another choice for national champion.

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.

Although Dickinson retroactively applied the system to the 1924 and 1925 seasons, the year 1926 was the first in which the trophy was awarded at season's end.  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.

The Museum of Newport History is a history museum in the Old Brick Market building in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island, United States. It is owned and operated by the Newport Historical Society at 127 Thames Street on Washington Square.  The building, designed by noted 18th-century American architect Peter Harrison and built in the 1760s, is a National Historic Landmark.

Description
The Brick Market is a three-story brick structure with a low hip roof.  Its ground floor has round-arch openings, which were historically open but have mostly been glassed over.  The upper level bays are separated by large pilasters with Ionic capitals, with a dentillated cornice below the roof.  The second floor windows are rectangular sash, topped by alternating gable and segmented-arch pediments.  The third floor windows are square, with a simpler molded surround.  The interior has been extensively altered over time, with little historic material surviving.

History

The Brick Market was designed by Peter Harrison, a major architect working in the British colonies during the 18th century.  Harrison based the Georgian design on a part of the 17th century design of Somerset House by Inigo Jones, altering the building material from stone to brick, and replacing Jones' Corinthian capitals with those of the Ionic order.

Construction of the building was authorized by the city in 1761 and begun in 1762, but the merchant proprietors ran out of money after finishing just the first level, and the city took the project over, roofing that level.  The building was not completed until 1772.  As a traditional British style market house (like Boston's Faneuil Hall), the building's first level was an open-air arcade that served as a marketplace for various goods.  Profits from the building went into a city fund for the establishment of a granary.

The upper levels of the hall have seen a variety of uses.  In the later years of the 18th century it housed a printing operation, and was eventually converted into a theatre.  In 1842 it began to be used as town hall, and the third floor was removed, replaced by galleries around the sides and rear.  It served as Newport's city hall between 1853 and 1900.  In the late 1920s the building was subjected to an extensive rehabilitation under the auspices of restorationist Norman Isham.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1968, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1968.  It is also a contributing element of the Newport Historic District, also a National Historic Landmark.

The building is now owned by the Newport Historical Society.  It houses a museum detailing Newport's history from pre-colonial times to the Gilded Age and beyond. Exhibits include the printing press of James Franklin, the figurehead from the yacht Aloha, and a sword given as a gift by the Marquis de Lafayette to Daniel Lyman.

A native of Terre Haute, Indiana, he was a player at Indiana State University from 1960 to 1963.  A graduate of Terre Haute's Gerstmeyer Tech, he played high school basketball for the legendary Howard Sharpe, the winningest coach in Indiana high school basketball.

Coaching career

Assistant coaching
After serving as head coach at two Indiana high schools, Reelsville H.S. 1963-65 and Plainfield H.S.1965-69, Newton served as an assistant coach under Ron Greene at the University of New Orleans from 1969 to 1973. In 1971, he helped lead the Privateers to a No. 1 ranking in the final Division II poll (21-1), as the team finished fourth in the NCAA Division II Regionals. The following season, he helped lead New Orleans to third place in the NCAA Division II Regionals.

On May 1, 1973, Newton was hired by athletic director Charles N. Shira to the Mississippi State University basketball coaching staff. Under Head Coach Kermit Davis, Newton was in charge of recruiting, scouting and defensive play responsibilities. On May 11, 1978, following Davis' resignation, Greene was named head coach at Mississippi State by director of athletics Bob Tyler. Greene joined assistants Newton and Mike Dill, who were already on the basketball staff.

In 1978, Newton was hired by athletic director Johnny Reagan at Murray State University as associate coach to newly hired Greene. Newton served as associate coach under Greene from 1978 to 1985.

Head coach at Murray State

In six seasons as the Racers head coach, Newton had an overall record of  116-65 (64%), an Ohio Valley Conference mark of 57–21, including a 43-7 (86%) in his last four seasons, and won four OVC regular season and three OVC Tournament titles. Newton became only the second coach in OVC history to lead his team to four consecutive league titles (1987–88, 1988–89, 1989–90, and 1990–91). Only Western Kentucky's E.A. Diddle had ever won or shared four straight OVC championships, from 1953 to 1957. The Racers during Newton's tenure earned three NCAA tournament appearances and one NIT appearance. The high point of his career at Murray State came on March 18, 1988, when the Racers defeated North Carolina State 78–75 in the first round of the 1988 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.

The Pencoyd Railroad Bridge is a former railroad bridge in Kansas City, Missouri, that was converted into the Freight House Pedestrian Bridge and moved to its new location where it connects Union Station and the Crossroads Arts District.

Bridge
The bridge was built in 1892 just south of the Hannibal Bridge as part of the Kansas City Suburban Belt Railroad, which ran from Independence, Missouri, to the Argentine District in Kansas City, Kansas. Heading west from Independence, the line reached the Kansas City Southern Railway Manifest Yard in what is now River Market, Kansas City. It crossed over the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad track coming from the Hannibal Bridge over the Missouri River in an area called The Gooseneck. It then crossed over the Missouri Pacific track and proceeded west to Kansas City, Kansas.

Pedestrian crossing
In January 2006, the bridge was relocated to the Union Station in Kansas City to be a pedestrian crossing over the railroad tracks there. The bridge was originally built as a three span thru-truss, but after relocation, it was rebuilt with two spans instead of three, and adapted into what was renamed the Freight House Pedestrian Bridge.

In January 2014, it was renamed Michael R. Haverty Freight House Bridge in recognition of Mike Haverty, who had been the chair of the Union Station Kansas City Board from 2005 to 2012.

The Caltrain Centralized Equipment Maintenance and Operations Facility (CEMOF) is a train maintenance yard and facility located to the north of San Jose Diridon Station in Central San Jose, California. The $140 million maintenance station began construction in 2004 and opened in 2007, consolidating much of Caltrain's maintenance and operations into one location.

History
Planning for CEMOF started in the late 1980s under Caltrans; up to that point, light maintenance was being performed at yards in San Francisco and San Jose, and heavier maintenance required transporting equipment to Roseville, a trip that took two days each way. The only maintenance pit was in San Jose, just a single car length long. All locomotive maintenance was performed in Oakland, and wheels were resurfaced at an Amtrak shop in Wilmington, Delaware. Consolidating operations into a single facility was estimated to reduce annual costs by $425,000 to $530,000 for transportation.

Work on the USD $140 million project began in October 2004, with USD $105.8 million coming from federal funding and USD $8.2 million from state funding. The construction phase of the facility lasted approximately three years; preliminary work completed in 2005 included relocation of existing rail lines and utilities, a  wall to attenuate construction noise, and a tunnel to link the maintenance facilities with the east yard. Work on the new buildings and facilities began in summer 2005. On September 29, 2007, Caltrain held a grand opening ceremony. The first shift of maintenance and operations crew did not move into the new shop until October 21, followed by the second and third shifts in November. The last component of this yard, the fueling storage and station, was completed in Spring 2008.

To accommodate maintenance requirements for the new Stadler KISS electric multiple units (EMUs) being procured as part of the electrification of Caltrain project, CEMOF was modified starting in 2019. Modifications included the extension of the existing Service and Inspection Pit, allowing the underside of a seven-car EMU train to be inspected without repositioning; adding moveable platforms inside the shop for inspection and maintenance of roof-mounted equipment; adding pantograph inspection cameras to inspect each car at least once a day; and building a temporary storage facility for EMU parts while the current warehouse is occupied by parts for the diesel-based fleet.

Description

Caltrain's CEMOF replaced an old  Southern Pacific Railroad maintenance yard formerly located on the same site. The entire facility includes a central control building, a three floor,  maintenance shop building, a machine to wash trains, one  water treatment plant, a fueling station and railroad tracks for train storage. About 150 people work at the site and three shifts of workers keep the facility staffed at all times.

The Train Washer is an automated washing machine that cleans the exterior of half of Caltrain's fleet each day or at least twice a week, up from twice a year before the facility. The machine can clean a five-car train in about 25 minutes using water from two  cisterns. The water used in the cleaning process is processed through the Wastewater Treatment Unit and 80% is reused to wash another train. The Washer is located to the northwest of the maintenance shop.

The Shop Building contains a bridge crane with a lifting capacity of , a drop table to facilitate wheel maintenance, and a wheel truing facility. This new building improves servicing conditions, safety, and efficiency by allowing mechanics to work indoors rather than outdoors. In addition, Caltrain can perform maintenance tasks once conducted by out-of-state contractors, such as wheel-truing.

Daily repair tasks are carried out in the Service & Inspection Area, consisting of an outdoor facility with two pits each  long and  deep. There are two tracks that traverse the facility. In Spring 2008, a  fuel tank was installed there to facilitate on-site fueling; prior to its installation, refueling trains was performed by bringing tanker trucks alongside the trains. The Service & Inspection Area is located immediately adjacent to the northeast of the three story Shop Building.

The train maintenance facilities are separated from the east yard area by active railroad tracks, so a  tunnel was built to facilitate employee movement under the active tracks. Work on the east yard area, which contains the Loading Dock, Central Control Facility (housing railroad dispatchers and controllers), and modular buildings for conductors and engineers, began in June 2006.

Long John Silver, also known as Long John Silver's Return to Treasure Island, is a 1954 American-Australian adventure film about the eponymous pirate Long John Silver, with Robert Newton repeating his starring role from Walt Disney's 1950 feature Treasure Island. Newton's billing in the opening credits states, "Robert Newton as Robert Louis Stevenson's immortal", followed by the title Long John Silver.

Kit Taylor plays Jim Hawkins, Connie Gilchrist is Purity Pinker, Lloyd Berrell is Capt. Mendoza, Kit Taylor's father Grant Taylor plays Patch and 24-year-old Rod Taylor, credited under his early stage name, Rodney Taylor, has the showy role of the blind bearded pirate Israel Hands who murderously pursues Jim.

The film was shot in CinemaScope and color at Sydney's Pagewood Studios and the same company went on to make The Adventures of Long John Silver, a 26-episode TV series with the same actors. The director, Byron Haskin, also directed the 1950 Disney film and at least one episode of the TV series.

Long John Silver's Return to Treasure Island should not be confused with another 1954 American film, Return to Treasure Island, released six months earlier, in June, with stars Tab Hunter and Dawn Addams.

Plot
The movie is set some time after the events of Treasure Island. Long John Silver and crew are broke and bumming around Portobello (a fictional port in the British West Indies).  Long John has a map to a second treasure cache on Treasure Island; but needs a special medallion to decode it. The pirate Mendoza has kidnapped Governor Strong's daughter Elizabeth and is holding her ransom. Also captured is Jim Hawkins, who has been press ganged into serving as cabin boy. Hawkins has secretly helped Dod Perch escape, and sent them to track down Long John Silver for help. Perch manages to find Long John, but is beaten to the punch and killed by two of Mendoza's men. Perch is able to mention Mendoza, Strong and Hawkins before perishing. Long John visits Governor Strong and his wife and proposes to deliver the ransom before they pursue Mendoza.

During the pickup of the ransom, Long John goes with Billy Bowlegs to Mendoza's ship and blackmails Mendoza over their plan to hoard the ransom money. Long John suggests to Mendoza that he leave Elizabeth on shore and lure the governor's warships away in order to sack the king's warehouses. As Mendoza carries out the plan, Long John finds that Jim possesses the pirate medallion indicating the second treasure's location. Mendoza begins to double cross Long John, but Long John has his men ambush and capture Mendoza along with the warehouse fortune, while Jim and Elizabeth make their escape.

Back at the governor's house, Jim is offered the chance to go back to England, but Long John has plans to take Jim with him on the second voyage to Treasure Island. After his crew has been captured along with the warehouse loot, Long John seizes an opportunity to crew Captain MacDougall's ship, the same slave ship carrying Hawkins back to Bristol. Long John sets off, avoiding becoming engaged to Purity Pinker, and barely escaping the alert local sentries.

Long John plots a mutiny on Captain MacDougall's ship. Hawkins discovers Long John's plan and tells the puritanical MacDougall, who decides to maroon Long John and his men on an island that is the secret hideout of Mendoza. Jim sets fire to Mendoza's warehouse so that Long John and his crew can capture Mendoza's ship. As Long John sails for Treasure Island, Mendoza awaits his next ship.

Once on Treasure Island, Long John and his men take shelter in the stockade from Israel Hands, who had survived Jim's shot some time ago, but is blind. Israel keeps Long John and his men trapped, killing them a few at a time. Soon, Mendoza's men arrive, and Israel offers to side with Long John in return for a passage to Cornwall and vengeance against Jim. After they flee, Mendoza burns down the stockade.

Long John follows the trail of the map to the caves where the treasure is buried. Israel tries to kill Jim, but Jim leads him to the coast, where Israel plunges to his death. As Jim heads back to the caves, he is taken by Mendoza, who is going to use him as bait to get Long John, but Long John surrenders to Mendoza, giving his men the opportunity to make an attack, cutting down Mendoza's forces and leaving the rest marooned. Long John returns to Portobello as a rich citizen and dines with the Governor, during which it is implied that Silver received a pardon for his past crimes for the role he played in saving his daughter's life, and for a "generous donation to Government House" that served to "arm the harbor against pirates". He and Jim ride off before Purity Pinker can pull a shotgun wedding.

Cast

Production
Walt Disney's film of Treasure Island (1950), starring Robert Newton as Long John Silver, had been very successful at the box office. Because the novel was in the public domain, producer Joseph Kaufman decided to make a sequel in which Newton reprised his role.

The film was produced by Treasure Island Pictures Pty. Ltd. The company's dominant shareholder and financier was Joseph Kaufman. The minor shareholders were director Byron Haskin, writer Martin Rackin and star Robert Newton.

The producer chose Australia to film, rather than Egypt, as a number of other films had been successfully made in Australia to reduce production costs, which was a common practice in the 1950s for US and British films, as the Australian crews spoke English. Part of the funding from the film came from notorious Wall Street financier Louis Wolfson. Byron Haskin alleged that producer Joseph Kaufman ran out of money during production, making shooting extremely difficult. Haskin arrived in February 1954.

Byron Haskin had experience working with Australians on His Majesty O'Keefe (1953) and cast several actors from that film, including Grant Taylor, Muriel Steinbeck, and Guy Doleman. Doleman was selected to play Israel Hands but refused to grow a beard and wear contact lenses which were required for the part. He dropped out and Rod Taylor stepped in instead. The only actors imported were Robert Newton and Connie Gilchrist. The role of Jim Hawkins was given to Grant Taylor's son Kit.

The film was shot in and around Sydney during 1954. Most of the filming was done at Pagewood Studios, where large sets were built representing a pirate ship, seaport and waterfront street. The filmmakers also constructed a galleon on a barge at Botany Bay, and filmed a sea battle between six foot model ships in Port Hacking. Other locations used included the Jenolan Caves (standing in for the caves on Treasure Island), Garie Beach, south of National Park (as the coast of Portobello) and the town of Waterfall (substituting for Treasure Island).

Production began on 3 May 1954 and shooting lasted for 63 working days. Filming was complicated by the fact that it was the first movie in Australia shot in CinemaScope. This was also the first movie to be shot in DeLuxe Color outside the United States.  Del Campo became the second Mexican, after Joe MacDonald, to work on a CinemaScope picture.

While making the film, court proceedings were initiated against Newton in England to fulfill his debts, which resulted in his being declared bankrupt.

Reception
Critical reaction to the film was generally poor. A color television series, The Adventures of Long John Silver, resulted nonetheless; it ran for one series of 26 episodes. This was the first TV series made in Australia, two years before television broadcasting started in the country. The series began production in 1954 and originally aired in the US, UK, and Australia in 1955–56, 1957–58, and 1958–59, respectively.

Kylie Tennant wrote a novelisation of the script.

Kaufman took out an option on Pagewood Studios for two more years and announced plans to make other films in Australia including Come Away, Pearler, from the novel by Colin Simpson. That did not happen.

The film and its star Robert Newton were referenced several times in the UK TV comedy series Hancock's Half Hour (1956–1961).

Beachside is a town in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, in Notre Dame Bay. The town had a population of 97 in the Canada 2021 Census, down from 150 in 2011.

Consisting in the past primarily of fishermen and miners, today it mainly consists of small families and most of the men go away for work. It is very scenic and provides a variety for any geographer. The community of Beachside, once known as Brookside and Wild Bight, was settled in the 19th century, when the mine opened in Little Bay.

Location
Beachside (Wild Bight) is located on the north side of Little Bay. The community is placed on the west side of the cove at the Bight's bottom, where there is a broad, rocky beach.

Often one can gaze out over Backcove Hill and see huge masses of ice, in many spectacular shapes, floating across the bay. This area is lush, colorful and beautiful in summer when the flowers are in bloom and the sea is aquamarine, calm and serene.

History
Beachside was used as a summer station by fishermen from Twillingate before it was settled in the 1850s.

According to an 1857 census there were 16 people living there, but, by 1874, this number increased to 55 and remained at that until the mid-20th century. The fishermen traded their catches to nearby Little Bay Islands where their families attended the Methodist church. Beachside residents also went to the Labrador fishery from Little Bay Island. Some of the men from Beachside found work as miners in Little Bay after 1878; the major impact of the mine on Beachside was the number of miners who returned to fishing after the mine closed in 1900. In the mid-1920s younger men left to work on the construction of the pulp and paper mill at Corner Brook, and later as loggers. In 1935 there were only 36 people left in the community. In the 1940s and 1950s the community began to grow again as people moved in from Southern Arm, Springdale, Little Bay or Little Bay Islands. In 1956 there were 172 people.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Beachside had a population of  living in  of its  total private dwellings, a change of  from its 2016 population of . With a land area of , it had a population density of  in 2021.

Services
The community of Beachside gets its mail from rural mail boxes and the nearest post office to the community is in Little Bay. The residents have access to cable television through Regional Cable Television. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro provides the community with electricity, and its source of power is the Springdale Terminal Station. The station has a voltage of 12 500v and a transformer capacity of 333. The roads in the community are paved but are considered by the residents to be in poor condition. The nearest airport to the community is in Deer Lake and the nearest emergency air service is located at Springdale Junction.
There are no longer any businesses located in Beachside. There are no banks, financial institutions or insurance companies in Beachside but residents have access to these facilities in Springdale.

Residents have access to both satellite and DSL internet, the latter of which does not exceed 8Mbit/s download and 0.5Mbit/s upload.

Education
There was one school in the community. It was called Beachside Pentecostal Academy built in 1984. It was a primary and elementary school under the Pentecostal Assemblies Board of Education. The school had 3 classrooms, 2 teachers and 30 students. The school closed in June 1999. Students are now bused to school in Springdale.

Religious services
There was a Pentecostal Church in the community, which was the only church in Beachside. The church was put up for sale after the former pastor moved away and a replacement could not be found. Pentecostal Christians must now attend church in the nearby town of Springdale.

Fire department
The community of Beachside has a volunteer fire department with 7 volunteers. The firefighters are contacted by telephone when a fire occurs. The department is equipped with a ½ ton pickup which is used as a fire truck. There is a sufficient amount of fire hydrants in the community. They are equipped with hoses and pumps, and breathing apparatuses. This fire department is not the only one that will respond, however. Fire Departments in Little Bay and Springdale are contacted as well to provide more adequate firefighting capabilities.

Water supply and sanitation
The community's source of water is a gravity flow chlorinated treated water from Long pond.
100% of the households are connected to main water supply. 55 of the households use public sewage system, the remainder have private septic tanks. Garbage is collected once a week. The community's dump is located 2 km away.

The Canton Railroad  is a Class III switching and terminal railroad, operating in eastern Baltimore City and Baltimore County. It serves the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore and local shipping companies, and connects with two Class I railroads: CSX Transportation and the Norfolk Southern Railway.

History
After the federal government enacted legislation in 1905 approving the dredging of shipping channels to the Baltimore harbor to a depth of 35 feet, the Canton Company of Baltimore, a marine terminal operator, sought to develop property it owned in southeast Baltimore for use by manufacturers and shippers. This necessitated access to rail services. Since neither of the two local railroad companies, the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) and Pennsylvania Railroad Companies, were willing to extend their lines to undeveloped areas, the Canton Company decided in 1905 to build its own local railroad.

The Canton Railroad Company was chartered in 1906 by the Canton Company, to serve industrial, manufacturing, and shipping customers in the Baltimore port area. Its tracks, starting from the interconnection with the Pennsylvania Railroad, were laid during the period from 1905 through 1914. The Canton track interconnected with the B&O Railroad in 1910.  Rail operations began in 1907.

The Canton Company was purchased by the conglomerate International Mining Company in 1960. It passed through several owners in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1984, alleged financial improprieties by the owners of the Canton Development Company, then the owner of the railroad, led to its being placed into receivership. The State of Maryland purchased the Canton Railroad at a bankruptcy auction in 1987 for $875,000 to provide railway access to the Seagirt Terminal of the Port of Baltimore.  Although Canton Railroad Company was acquired by the State of Maryland, the Railroad operates as a for-profit enterprise with no State fund involvement.

The Canton Railroad dispute with Maryland involving whether the state franchise tax on railroad activities in the port of Baltimore violated the Import-Export or Commerce Clauses of the Constitution led to the Supreme Court case Canton Railroad Company v. Rogan, 340 U.S. 511 (1951).

Current operations

Today the Canton Railroad is owned by the Maryland Transportation Authority and operates as a for-profit enterprise. Engines used by the Canton Railroad are painted yellow and black in a pattern similar to that used in the Maryland and Baltimore flags. The railroad currently operates 6 miles of mainline and 17 miles of secondary track.
