Jerry Dodgion (August 29, 1932 – February 17, 2023) was an American jazz saxophonist and flautist.

Dodgion was born in Richmond, California. He played alto sax in middle school and began working locally in the San Francisco area in the 1950s. He played in bands with Rudy Salvini, John Coppola/Chuck Travis and Gerald Wilson and worked with the Vernon Alley Quartet, who accompanied Billie Holiday in 1955. He played with Gerald Wilson from 1953 to 1955, Benny Carter in the 1950s, Red Norvo from 1958 to 1961, Benny Goodman (for his 1962 tour of the Soviet Union), Oliver Nelson, Thad Jones and Mel Lewis (from 1965-1979), Herbie Hancock, Duke Pearson, Blue Mitchell, Count Basie, and Marian McPartland. Dodgion was married to drummer/singer Dottie Dodgion for 20 years.

Dodgion had a long career as a sideman, recording up to 2004 only two dates as leader or co-leader: two tracks in 1955 for Fantasy Records with Sonny Clark on piano and an album in 1958 for World Pacific with Charlie Mariano. Dodgion's first true release as a bandleader was issued in 2004 with an ensemble called The Joy of Sax, featuring saxophonists Frank Wess, Brad Leali, Dan Block and Jay Brandford, pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist Dennis Irwin and percussionist Joe Farnsworth.

Dodgion died from complications of an infection in Queens, New York, on February 17, 2023, at the age of 90.

Joseph Edward Fison (18 March 1906 – 2 July 1972) was an Anglican bishop. He was the 74th Bishop of Salisbury.

Biography

Fison was educated at Shrewsbury School and then at The Queen's College, Oxford, where he took second-class honours in Classical Moderations and Greats and first-class honours in the Final Honour School of Theology while training at Wycliffe Hall (though he could not take the degree of Bachelor of Arts, having already taken it for his classics degree). He graduated from the University of Oxford with a BA in 1929, MA in 1934, and BD in 1950 (a postgraduate degree awarded in recognition of his scholarship).

From 1930 until 1933 he taught at the English Mission College in Cairo and after being ordained both deacon and priest in 1934 he embarked on a clerical career that was to last nearly 40 years. He started his ordained ministry as chaplain and tutor at Wycliffe Hall before serving a curacy at St Aldate's Church, also in Oxford. With the Second World War came service in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, latterly as Senior Chaplain in Jerusalem.

In peacetime he rose rapidly in the Church of England hierarchy. He held residentiary canonries at Rochester Cathedral (1945–52) and Truro Cathedral (also Sub-Dean) (1952–59) before moving to another university city, Cambridge, to be Vicar of the Great St Mary's from 1959 to 1963. Finally, he was appointed Bishop of Salisbury. Many saw the appointment of such a cultured and urbane man to such a rural diocese as Salisbury as akin to "harnessing a racehorse to a farm cart," but he proved a distinctive success. A "cultured man with some knowledge of literature", he died in office and was succeeded by George Reindorp, previously Bishop of Guildford.

Gutierre de Hevia y Valdés, 1704 to 2 December 1772, was a Spanish naval officer who reached the rank of Admiral and became commander of the Spanish Marine Infantry. He was court-martialled for his role in the 1762 capture of Havana but reinstated three years later.

Biography
Born at Tortona, Italy, he joined the Spanish Navy in 1720. In Cadiz, he was involved in a duel and killed his opponent. He was tried but acquitted, and left for the Americas. He entered service in the Spanish Navy, and was the third man to set foot on enemy territory during the recapture of Oran in 1732.

During the War of Jenkins' Ear in 1741, he served in the successful defence of Cartagena de Indias and in 1747 received his first command, the warship Nueva España. In 1759 he commanded the Fenix, part of the convoy that brought the new monarch, Charles III of Spain, from Naples to Spain. For this service, he received the titles of Marqués del Real Transporte and Vizconde del Buen Viaje, was promoted Capitán de navío, and confirmed as Commandant General of the Spanish Marine Infantry.

In 1761, Hevia and his fleet of 12 ships was dispatched to Havana, to defend the city against an expected assault by the British, as Spain had entered the Seven Years' War that year on the side of France. On 6 June 1762 a powerful British invasion force under the Earl of Albemarle began the Siege of Havana. Hevia's ships played no part in the battle, as all the guns and men were disembarked and used to defend the forts. When the city was taken on 13 August, the British confiscated Hevia's entire fleet, which he had neglected to burn.

Hevia and the surviving Spanish sailors and marines were transported to Spain. On his arrival, the Madrid government court-martial him. He was stripped of his titles and condemned to house arrest for 10 years but thanks to the influence of his father-in-law Juan José Navarro, who was Captain general of the Navy, Hevia was pardoned on 17 September 1765 on the occasion of the wedding of Charles, the Prince of Asturia and reinstated in his previous titles. He died on 2 December 1772 at Isla de León.

The Suite Life on Deck is an American teen sitcom that aired on Disney Channel from September 26, 2008, to May 6, 2011. It is a sequel/spin-off of the Disney Channel Original Series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.  The series follows twin brothers Zack and Cody Martin and hotel heiress London Tipton in a new setting, the SS Tipton, where they study-abroad at Seven Seas High School and meet Bailey Pickett while Mr. Moseby manages the ship. The ship travels around the world to nations such as Italy, France, Greece, India, Sweden and the United Kingdom where the characters experience different cultures, adventures, and situations.

The series' pilot aired in the UK on September 19, 2008, and in U.S. markets on September 26, 2008. The series premiere on the Disney Channel in the U.S. drew 5.7 million viewers, and it became the most watched series premiere in Canada on the Family Channel. The show was also TV's No. 1 series in Kids 6–11 and No. 1 scripted series in tweens 9–14 in 2008, outpacing veteran series Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place in the ratings. On October 19, 2009, it was announced that the series had been renewed for a third season, which began production in January 2010 and debuted on July 2, 2010. The series was also 2009's top rated scripted series among all children ages 6 to 14

The series has been broadcast in more than 30 countries worldwide, and was shot at Hollywood Center Studios in Los Angeles (as was the original series). The series was taped in front of a live studio audience, though a laugh track is used for some scenes. The series is the second spin-off of a Disney Channel series (after the short-lived That's So Raven spinoff Cory in the House); as well as the last Disney Channel series to debut broadcasting exclusively in standard definition, and the first of three Disney Channel shows to transition from standard definition to high definition, which occurred on August 7, 2009, with the season 2 premiere, "The Spy Who Shoved Me," and the second multi-camera comedy (after Sonny with a Chance) to utilize a filmized appearance instead of the Filmlook appearance that was used in the first season.

On March 25, 2011, a film based on The Suite Life on Deck and its parent series, titled The Suite Life Movie aired on the Disney Channel. The series' forty-minute finale episode, "Graduation on Deck", aired on Disney Channel on May 6, 2011, officially ending the series.

Premise
Sometime after the events of the previous series, Mr. Mosby has been transferred to manage SS Tipton, a cruise ship owned by Mr. Tipton. Aboard the ship, Zack and Cody Martin enroll at Seven Seas High School, a Semester at Sea-like study-abroad program offered on the ship, receiving affordability discounts due to their mother being a Tipton employee. London Tipton is also forced to attend the program under the direction of her father, with Mr. Mosby remaining responsible for her. A small-town farm girl named Baily Pickett also enrolls for the program. The twins set on a range of new adventures and make new friends, as they begin attending classes on the cruise ship, while the ship sails around the world.

Cast

Main

 Zack Martin, portrayed by Dylan Sprouse, is typically the fun-loving, rebellious, and immature twin. He works in the juice bar on the ship as a result of using up both Cody's and his money for the semester. Cody is forced to obtain the job as a towel boy. Zack does not perform particularly well academically, but he manages to graduate in the series' finale episode. He performs very well physically and enjoys physical sports, especially basketball and football. Zack acts selfish at times but he also sincerely cares for his brother and friends, even if he does not always show it. He flirts with most of the girls on the ship by using various pick-up lines, although he rarely ever stays with them for more than one episode. At the beginning of the third season, he starts to develop strong feelings for a new student on the ship named Maya. At first, she refuses to go out with him since he was a "player," but eventually he wins her over by throwing a surprise party for her. He then surprises his friends by being a good boyfriend. Although initially there is confusion as to whether he loved her or whether he was just taking her on as a challenge, he proves to have strong feelings for her in later episodes. She breaks up with him in the episode "Graduation on Deck" because of a Peace Corps assignment she accepts, but they remain close friends.
 Cody Martin, portrayed by Cole Sprouse, is typically the intelligent, kind-hearted, and sensitive twin. Cody performs well academically, is a straight A student, and has shown to have a great interest in academics; however, he does not perform well in sports. Cody has been noted to be ten minutes younger than Zack and often plays into Zack's crazy schemes. Cody is usually picked on by Zack, but Zack becomes very defensive when other people do it. Likewise, Cody cares very deeply for Zack, despite his picking on him constantly. At the end of season one, Cody begins dating Bailey Pickett, but they sever their romantic relationship in the second-season finale due to a misunderstanding in Paris. However, near the end of the third season, they get back together again after confessing that they never stopped loving each other. In "Das Boots", it is revealed that he has multiple allergies. Also, in "A London Carol", a future version of Cody and Bailey are married, though it's not certain if it was their real future.
 London Tipton, portrayed by Brenda Song, is the socialite of the four main teenage characters. She is a parody of Paris Hilton. She is the daughter of Wilfred Tipton, a multi-billionaire and the owner of the Tipton Hotel chains, including the one in Boston and the SS Tipton. London is typically selfish, dim-witted, spoiled, gullible and meticulous about her appearance but she is happy and heartwarming, and she does care for her friends (even if she can't remember the difference between Zack and Cody). She also has a pomeranian pet dog named Ivana. When she is happy, she usually claps her hands and repeatedly jumps up and down while saying her catchphrase, "Yay me!" Mr. Moseby fools London into thinking that she is on the SS Tipton for a vacation, to trick her into boarding the ship. London gets enrolled at the Seven Seas High School program because her father wants her to live in the real world. London does not live in a first class suite on the SS Tipton, but a small cabin. London reluctantly agrees to accept Bailey Pickett (Debby Ryan) as her new roommate, although she does so after unsuccessfully trying to bribe Bailey into leaving as she did with her previous roommate. The two later become good friends. In The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, when London resided at the Tipton Hotel, it seemed that she was living in her own bubble. On the SS Tipton, London became more aware of the real world and faced several difficulties to help her when she takes over her father's business.
 Bailey Pickett, portrayed by Debby Ryan, is a teenage girl from the fictional town of Kettlecorn, Kansas. She is very intelligent just like Cody, seemingly the perfect girl-next-door and has been described as a "small town, down-to-earth girl." She shares a room with the wealthy  London Tipton, in which the two later form a close friendship and end up becoming best friends. Bailey is a student at Seven Seas High and attends classes with her new friends Zack, Cody, London, and Woody. She boarded the ship to leave Kettlecorn, where she lived on a farm, because she longed for the big city. She pretends to be a boy in the pilot in order to get a room on the SS Tipton because the girls' cabins were filled. Eventually, she moves in with London after people find out she is a girl. London tries to bribe her not to move in, but Bailey refuses. Both Zack and Cody have a crush on her at the beginning of the series, but when they find out more about Bailey's life and her ex-boyfriend, Zack lets Cody have her, claiming that she was "carrying too much baggage." However, a couple seasons later he says that he doesn't blame Cody for not being able to get over Bailey and called her "smokin'," showing he still thinks she's beautiful even if he doesn't like her "that way". Cody tries several times throughout the first season to attract Bailey, but is unsuccessful until the crossover episode "Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana" in which they start dating. They eventually end their romantic relationship in the second-season finale due to a misunderstanding in Paris. However, near the end of the third season, they get back together again after confessing that they still loved each other. In "A London Carol", a future version of Cody and Bailey are married, though it's not certain if it was their real future. In the series finale, she reveals that she chose to attend Yale University.
 Marion Moseby, portrayed by Phill Lewis, the uptight and serious former manager of the Tipton Hotel in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, is now the chaperon and manager of the SS Tipton. He speaks with a wide vocabulary and an urbane vernacular, minimal tolerance for fun of any kind, and is therefore often annoyed by Zack and Cody's schemes. He has raised London Tipton like his own daughter. His repeated catch phrases, "Good luck with that," and "If you'll excuse me," have become his trademark. He loves bad jokes, has a passion for collecting handkerchiefs, and has a penchant for ballet, which becomes a running joke throughout the series. Though he acts as though he does not care about Zack and Cody, he actually has a great deal of affection for them and tells them he will miss them in the end of the Graduation on Deck episode. He's constantly running from stem to stern keeping the Martin twins and London out of trouble. Moseby is a father figure in London's life, because of London's father's absence in the series. He looks after her constantly and cares for her very deeply. Moseby reportedly tricked London in order for her to be enrolled in the Seven Seas High School program. He told London she was going on a vacation on the SS Tipton to get her on the ship. Mr. Moseby is continuously trying to "court" Ms. Tutwieler and, in the final episode of the series, proposes to her, deciding he wants them to be together rather than apart. In an act of true bravery in the final episode, Moseby tells off Mr. Tipton for having the ship dismantled during graduation; he follows up by telling the shocked crowd that he was already losing his job anyway.

 Marcus Little, portrayed by Doc Shaw, (seasons 2–3) is a former singing sensation, Lil' Little, who comes aboard the SS Tipton. After hitting puberty, causing his voice to change, he lost his fame and career. He attends Seven Seas High and shares a room with Zack. Marcus lived in Atlanta, Georgia, as mentioned on his sash in "The Beauty and the Fleeced." He first appears in the second-season episode "Roomies". He has a crush on London, and is shown to be quite gullible, often believing Woody's tall tales. Marcus has as many famous contacts as London does; however, he is sensitive about the loss of his fame because he believes his celebrity friends won't like him, though he was later proven wrong in the episode "Crossing Jordin." Marcus eventually leaves the ship in the episode "Bon Voyage" after choosing to star in a musical based on his hit song "Retainer Baby." Cody is proud of him for this because he'll be entertaining people while promoting proper dental care.

Production

Development
On February 4, 2008, it was announced that the Disney Channel was developing a new contemporary sequel to the Disney channel sitcom  The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. The announcement was made by Gary Marsh, the President of the Disney Channel. He stated, "Our audience has shown us that after 88 episodes, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody remains one of their favorite sitcoms ever, we decided to find a new way for Zack, Cody, London, and Mr. Moseby to live 'The Suite Life' in a whole new setting – this time aboard a luxury cruise liner." The series original creator, Danny Kallis was announced to be involved with the project. The elements from the original series remain the same though the setting is completely different.

In December 2008, it was reported that the Disney Channel had renewed the series for a thirteen episode second season. On May 11, 2009, Disney issued a press release stating that the second season had been extended to include a larger number of episodes than the original thirteen. Gary Marsh, the president of Disney Channels Worldwide said: "With this second-season extension, the cast of ‘The Suite Life’ makes Disney Channel history by becoming the longest running continuous characters on our air – 138 half-hour episodes. We are thrilled for them, and for the brilliant, inspired production team that made this extraordinary run possible."

As of 2011, The Suite Life series holds the record (162 episodes) for having the longest running continuous characters on air and the most canon episodes for any Disney Channel series.

Settings
According to show creators and producers, the choice of setting was made to appeal to an international audience with different ports-of-call, such as India, Greece, Italy, Morocco, the United Kingdom and Thailand. An on-board theater serves as an "organic" set-up for musical numbers. Most of the action in the series occurs on board the SS Tipton. However, the ship travels to a variety of places around the world, which are often unfamiliar places to both Zack and Cody Martin.

SS Tipton
The SS Tipton is a cruise ship belonging to London Tipton's father. The ship had its first canon appearance in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody episode "Let Us Entertain You". Unlike most cruise ships it also includes a study-abroad school, Seven Seas High School, which is a common setting on the ship, as are the Sky Deck, the lobby, the corridors outside the students' cabins and the cabins themselves. In the third season, the Aqua Lounge, a newly refurbished space on the ship, was shown, and it replaced the Sky Deck as the main hangout (although the Sky Deck is still commonly shown). There are also various areas on the SS Tipton that are mentioned, but never seen, including several decks and the ship's putt-putt golf course, where the captain spends most of his time. In the crossover episode of Wizards of Waverly Place, "Cast-Away (To Another Show)," Mr. Moseby reveals that the ship itself weighs 87,000 tons. After the events in "Graduation on Deck" the SS Tipton was sold and later dismantled. Moseby mentioned in the season 1 episode "Cruisin' for a Bruisin'", that the ship was not the first ship with the SS Tipton name (indicating that the Tipton cruiseline had been in service long before the events of the first series). Mr. Tipton commissioned a scale model "replica-in-a-bottle" of the first SS Tipton as a gift for Captain Lansferd.

Theme song and opening sequence
The show's theme song, "Livin' the Suite Life," was written by John Adair and Steve Hampton (who also wrote the themes for fellow Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Phil of the Future, and Wizards of Waverly Place, as well as the theme for the ABC Kids series Power Rangers: RPM), with music composed by Gary Scott (who also composed the music cues to signal scene changes and promo breaks, some of which are styled similarly to the theme), and is performed by British singer Steve Rushton (who is only credited for performing the theme in the second season).

The series was one of only 4 of Disney Channel shows still running in 2011 whose theme song is not performed by a star of the series (Phineas and Ferb, Fish Hooks and Shake It Up are the others).

On September 20, 2010, Disney Channel announced that production had begun for a Disney Channel Original Movie based on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and The Suite Life on Deck.

The Suite Life Movie premiered on the Disney Channel in the United States and Canada on March 25, 2011.

Cancelled revival
In 2013, during an interview with Gawker, Dylan Sprouse revealed he and his brother had pitched an idea to the Disney Channel about continuing the Suite Life series. The show would see Zack and Cody return to the Tipton Hotel in Boston to live with their mother, and would become mentors to a boy who lived with his father at the hotel. Disney rejected the idea initially, but contacted the twins a year later with an edited concept that retained the boy and his father storyline, but Zack and Cody would move to a Miami hotel instead, Selena Gomez would also star and the twins would not get producer credits like they had requested. The Sprouses rejected the concept, leaving the project abandoned.

Lajin (), full royal name al-Malik al-Mansur Hussam al-Din Lajin al-Mansuri (; d. January 16, 1299, Cairo) was a Mamluk sultan of Egypt from 1296 to 1299. Originally Greek, he was a mamluk of Qalawun and had participated in the assassination of Qalawun's son the Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil. He also tried assassinating the Sultan al-Adil Kitbugha but failed. Kitbugha, fearing for his life, sent to him afterwards that he is ready to remove himself from the Sultanate for him to be the Sultan instead. Lajin agreed and became Sultan under the title al-Mansur Hussam al-Din, while Kitbugha was given a fief in the Levant.

István Tarlós (; 26 May 1948) is a Hungarian politician who served as the Mayor of Budapest from 2010 to 2019. Previously he served as the Mayor of the Third District (Óbuda-Békásmegyer) of the city between 1990 and 2006 (as an independent candidate). Since 2006 he was the Chairman of the Fidesz–Christian Democratic People's Party (KDNP) Fraction-Alliance in the General Assembly of the Municipality of Budapest, and served as the political leader of the initiative "Social Referendum 2008".

Early life
István Tarlós was born on 26 May 1948 in Budapest as the son of Dr. István Tarlós, Sr., a lawyer and Hilda Dienes, a chief accountant, both worked for the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. According to himself, he came from a civic-minded, religious family. He graduated from Árpád High School's Humanities Department. He then started to work as an unskilled laborer before he faced conscription and joined the military in Orosháza. Tarlós completed the Technical University in Budapest and received his Civil Engineer Diploma later. He then post-graduated in Finance and Organization from Ybl Miklós Technical College.

Tarlós worked for 15 years in the building industry mostly in investor and contractor tasks. Among the companies he worked for were Vasútépítő Vállalat, FŐBER, ÉM, Mélyépítő Vállalat, KKMV, IKV Budapest III. In his civil engineer career Tarlós worked in many positions such as foreman, deputy construction leader, construction leader, technical controller and head of production department. In the early 1990s Tarlós launched his own architect studio with his wife.

He is married since 1973, his wife Cecília Nagy is a civil engineer. Tarlós has three grown up children and six grandchildren.

Political career

Mayor of Óbuda-Békásmegyer
Tarlós was not active in politics before the political change of the 1990s. He first entered politics by becoming a member of the anti-communist Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ) in 1989. He then, supported by SZDSZ and Fidesz, became Budapest District III (Óbuda-Békásmegyer) Mayor in 1990.

He left SZDSZ, which formed a coalition with the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP), because of ideological and moral differences in the summer of 1994. Tarlós could not accept the radical change in directions and principles of the party within the short period of its existence. He is an independent politician since then. As an independent, he had been continually reelected with large majorities as Mayor in Budapest District III in 1994, 1998 and 2002.

Tarlós made it to establish functioning nexus with the liberal and socialist fraction within the Municipality of his district. The General Assembly regularly passed Tarlós's Budget Plan and Budget Report without abstention and black ball. The remains of the first conservative party of Prime Minister József Antall of the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF) was only to handle Tarlós's Budapest mayoral candidacy controversial, which resulted in numerous secession of own party members and leaders as well as demonstrations on the streets of District III and within the own walls.

Tarlós, supported by Fidesz, led by Viktor Orbán, entered the local election in 2006 as mayoral candidate of Budapest, and lost by a mere 1 percent against incumbent mayor Gábor Demszky (SZDSZ). Until Tarlós's challenge, Demszky always received large majorities. On the other hand, Tarlós received more votes than his supporter, Fidesz, altogether.

He, still as independent but declared conservative politician, led the Fidesz-KDNP fraction in the General Assembly of Budapest from October 2006 until October 2010. Next to his role as fraction-leader Tarlós led the "Social Referendum 2008" campaign, initiated by Fidesz and Civil Social Basis.

Mayor of Budapest

First term
In 2010 he was elected with the program of bringing the local government-owned companies under direct local government control and under full oversight of the assembly. He pledged to divert more funds to material and salary expenditures of services (police, firefighters, schools, public transport) the state of which he described as neglected. Instead of always choosing between individual developments while the stability of the city is according to him always pressed to the limit, he wants to drive the macroeconomic curves of the city into a long-term self-sustaining. The Prime Minister guaranteed the city will be provided with the funds necessary for finishing ongoing infrastructure investments.

Until 2013 the mayor's administration completely overhauled the structure of the companies owned by the local government. In the new structure the companies operate more efficiently, which resulted in significant reduction of operating costs. This money can be redirected to development.

In 2013 Viktor Orbán's government started a program to lift Hungary's local governments out of debt. 100% of the debts of settlements whose population is under 5000 was repaid by the government. 60% of the debt of Budapest was repaid by the government. Later the remaining 40% was also repaid by the government, after the government decided to eliminate all debts of all local governments. In this year the national government accepted the request of the local government to finance the BKISZ project from EU funds. This project builds the sewerage system in all parts of the city that did not have this infrastructure yet. Construction works will finish in Summer of 2015. The capacity of the city's wastewater treatment plants by 2009 had already been increased to be able to treat all generated wastewater.

In 2013 István Tarlós's administration drafted the city's next development plan, that applies to the 2014-2030 time period. 27 large projects were initiated to be realised from EU funds until 2020. Among them was the complete reconstruction and extension of Metro Line 3, the extension of several tramlines and the purchase of new trams and buses.

From 1 January 2014 the price of most public transport passes for natural persons was decreased by 10%. This was made possible by the reorganized control activity which reduced illegal travel, increased the number of passes sold and the amount of money flowing in from pass sales. This was the first time since the fall of communism that pass prices became cheaper.

On 28 March 2014, the fourth metro line, which was constructed for eight years, was opened to the public. During Tarlós's term the capital renegotiated the contracts, by which act it was able to regain tens of billions of forints of the total cost of more than 400 billion forints.

In spring of 2014 a program was initiated to install 300 ticket and pass automats citywide. These automats allow payment both via cash or credit card. The automats operate 24 hours a day, thus provide more flexibility to customers. The automats also made queues at ticket and pass offices shorter.

The municipal government operates approximately 1300 buses daily. By September 2014 500 modern low-floor buses were bought, of which 300 were newly manufactured. This made it possible to scrap 500 of the oldest buses that were both in a bad state and polluted the environment too much. The municipal government plans to serve the public from 2018 only by modern low-floor buses.

In September 2014 introduction of the FUTÁR information system was completed. It allows the traffic control center to continuously monitor all public transport buses and carriages of the city by having installed GPS in each of them, and it makes communication possible with the drivers concerned, e.g. with all drivers of a specific line, or of all lines affected by an accident on their common route. FUTÁR also provides information to passengers: 263 digital boards were installed to high-traffic bus and tram stops. These boards show the approximate time that remains until the next buses and carriages of the different lines arrive to the stop. The central computer system calculates the time remaining until the buses and carriages reach the stops. The boards also inform passengers about temporary route modifications and other special circumstances. The information provided by the boards can also be accessed via internet, a smartphone application is also available to do this. In September 2014 the MOL Bubi bicycle hire system was opened for public use. It consists of 76 stations in the inner part of the city, which serve 1100 bicycles.

The city was scheduled to receive 47 completely low-floor CAF trams in 2015 and 2016 according to a contract signed on 2014 March 5. As prescribed by another contract signed on 8 October 2014, by 2017 a modern electronic ticket and pass system will replace the current and outdated paper-based system. The system is going to be introduced in multiple phases.

Second term
Tarlós was re-elected mayor for a second term (which this time was five years long) in the 2014 election. He received 49.06% of the votes.

The reconstruction of tramlines 1 and 3 was finished in this term. These lines run along two beltways at the border of the inner part of the city. The reconstruction eliminated the speed limits that had to be introduced because of poor condition of the tracks.
In this term the Interweaving Tramlines Project of Buda (Budai Fonódó Villamos Project) was also completed. This project unified the tramlines of the Buda (western) side of the Capital, creating lines that enable travelling from the northern areas of the city to the southern areas, without the need to transfer from one line to another.

On 11 November 2014 a contract was signed according to which 200 new low-floor buses entered service in 2015. This increased the ratio of low-floor buses in the bus fleet of the city from 55% to 70%. The municipal government announced in June 2017 that the ratio of low-floor buses reaches 95-99% by September 2017.

The first train of Metro Line 3 was handed over in January 2016 to the Russian Metrowagonmash (the original manufacturer) to be reconstructed. Tarlós had preferred buying new trains, but he had been overwritten by the Orbán government. The prototype of the reconstructed trains entered service on 20 March 2017. Since then, the number of reconstructed trains serving the line is scheduled to increase by 2 trains every month.

On 4 September 2017 the contracts for reconstructing the whole tunnel of Metro Line 3 and the stations of the northern section were signed, thus the reconstruction effectively started. The stations will be finished by 31 December 2018. After this phase, the stations of the middle and southern sections will be reconstructed, the order of these two phases is not yet decided. Overhauling the tunnel is set to end by 24 August 2020.

In June 2015, Budapest decided to bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Tarlós emphasized the necessary city development projects and the expected boom in tourism. However, in January 2017 a civil organization called Momentum Movement started a petition to have a referendum for Budapest residents whether they want to organize it or not. The Movement campaigned for redirecting the funds from a high-risk investment to immediately support health care and education. On 17 February 2017, it was announced that 266,151 signatures had been collected, to which Tarlós reacted by negotiating with PM Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian Olympic Committee, then agreeing to and withdrawing the bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics, leaving only Los Angeles and Paris in the race. Tarlós blamed the opposition parties they were "backing out" from their earlier position of supporting the bid, and called this attitude as "treachery".

On 5 February 2018, nine opposition parties started collecting signatures to hold a referendum to ensure all 20 stations of Metro Line 3 are made fully accessible during the line's reconstruction. Until that point, the local government only planned to guarantee this at 12 stations, but on 7 February the mayor's office negotiated with the national umbrella organization for disabled people, then announced it would build inclined elevators next to the existing escalators at 6 more stations. Both the opposition parties and the umbrella organization operating independently from them announced they regard acceptable only full compliance with accessibility standards at all stations. On 21 February, initiator of the referendum Csaba Horváth (socialist floor leader of the Municipal Assembly) cancelled the signature collecting, referring to the Mayor's former announcement and to the calculations regarding the cost of the referendum can cover the cost of building elevators at the two remaining stations.

On 10 October 2018, István Tarlós announced that he would run for a third term as Mayor of Budapest, after negotiating about his future role with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. According to the press, the two politicians concluded a 15-point agreement, which contained altogether HUF 1,000 billion development package. The Metropolitan Public Development Council was established with members delegated by both the government and the General Assembly of Budapest. Tarlós and Orbán also accepted a 10-year "Budapest 2030" urban development plan. The government guaranteed the functions of garbage disposal and sewerage remained the responsibility of the local municipality. In June 2019, in the opposition's first primary election, Gergely Karácsony was elected as the united opposition's joint candidate to the position of mayor. In the October 2019 local election, Tarlós, receiving 44.10% of the vote, was defeated by Karácsony, while the opposition parties also gained majority in the General Assembly of Budapest. After his defeat, Tarlós announced his retirement from politics and did not take over his gained seat in the General Assembly.

Later career
Weeks after his defeat during the 2019 local elections, István Tarlós was appointed Prime Ministerial Commissioner for the Development of National Transportation and Public Service Infrastructure on 31 October 2019. Officially, he took the position the following day.

Social work
Through the assignment of numerous district mayors, Tarlós became vice-chairman of the Council of Regional Development between 1999 and 2003. He visited the Institutions of the EU in Brussels on diverse occasions. During this period Tarlós lead the Commission for Strategic Planning of the Central-Hungarian Region and co-founded the Hungarian Society of Law-Enforcement-Science, the Baross Gábor Society and became a member of the Széchenyi Society. Additionally Tarlós was given the task of the honorary chairman of the Disaster-Recovery and Civil Protection Council as well as of the Braunhaxler Association of Budapest District III. He is furthermore member of the board of the Christian Intellectual Alliance.

Recognition of Elvis Presley

On 1 March 2011, Tarlós' announcement that the city would posthumously make US singer Elvis Presley (1935–77) an honorary citizen, as well as name a small park facing one of the city's eight crossings, and its second-oldest, the Margaret Bridge, as a gesture of gratitude,  made international headlines. Presley's involvement with the plight of Hungarian refugees fleeing from the effects of the 1956 Soviet invasion began on Sunday 28 October 1956, as some 56.7 million Americans watched Ed Sullivan's Sunday program at the CBS-TV network, which Presley was headlining for the second time. During that broadcast, a casual mention was made by Sullivan of the need to send aid to Hungarian refugees fleeing from the effects of the Soviet invasion. This led to Presley's official request, on his third and last appearance at Sullivan's Show and as a further 54.6 million viewers watched on 6 January 1957, for Mr. Sullivan, this time on his behalf, to request viewers to send their contributions. This was done by Mr. Sullivan himself with Presley off-camera as per the singer's request on two separate occasions during the broadcast and leading up to Presley's dedication of a song which, in his opinion, fit the mood properly as the show's finale, namely the African American-written gospel song "Peace in the Valley". By the end of 1957,  these contributions, as handled by the Geneva-based International Red Cross, and which translated into perishables and non perishables, as well as food rations, clothing, and other essentials, had amounted to some CHF 26 million (US$6 million in 1957 dollars, or $ in  dollars).

Thomas Forbes (30 November 1900 – 31 January 1988) was an English poet and painter. He is considered part of the Post-Aesthetic Movement.

Birth and early life

Born in Paris, he was the eldest of three to Robert Forbes and Amelie Racine. His parents had previously lived in Paris selling paintings and working as plongeurs (kitchen and dishwasher assistants) before returning to raise their son in London.

He spent his early years at 15 Grosvenor Gardens, where his father befriended the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne who occasionally looked after Thomas as a toddler, reading him poetry and ballads before he slept. The Family later moved to 7 Bellevue Road, North London where he grew up.
He attended Northside Primary School in Barnet, where his first poems have been recorded to have been written from the age of five.

It is believed that Swinburne's ballads had induced Thomas to write.
It was his father, however, who influenced him to paint. It is understood that Thomas would enter his father's studio at their home without permission and alter his paintings. His father would hear him and enter the room and send him back to bed.
They spent a lot of time together in the studio and occasionally collaborated on several paintings.
It wasn't until the age of seventeen that Thomas Forbes became serious about painting and writing Poetry. He met the poet Stevie Smith through his younger brother and the two became quite close, writing together in until Thomas went to the University of Liverpool to study English literature.
At university he met and fell in love with fellow student and poet Emily Roe-Darley. The poem "My English Rose" (1921) is about her.

In his second year he left the course and returned to London with Emily after becoming anxious and homesick. The two married and lived together in Highgate, London to concentrate on writing and painting. His bouts of anxiety and depression during his time at university  are highlighted in the early writings of Dear Poetic Conscience.

Works

Forbes's early poetry is extremely difficult to get hold of.

Thomas Forbes is mostly known for his written works Dear Poetic Conscience (1922) and Dream Stream (1941). His poetry has been described by critics as being "pleasantly blunt and cutting." His work is also notable for its arrogant use of his own made-up slang. He sold only a dozen paintings in his lifetime. Most of his other artwork accompanied his poetry.

During the Second World War, he wrote a lot of war poetry from his perception of the front line rather than of the soldiers. The poem which gained most success from the War over our head (1944) series is entitled "This is our Trench".

Dear Poetic Conscience (1922)

In Dear Poetic Conscience, written at university, Forbes explores the relationship between himself and as poet. Aspiring to be a poet from an early age, these works ask questions of what it takes to be a poet and he makes reference to Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, and his wife Emily Roe-Darley.

It is considered by many as being in diary form rather than poetry. Though much of the book is written in free verse, its rhythmic structure maintains its poetic characteristics.
It opens with "Look at what you've got yourself here, a new book for a new year."

Roe-Darley also had her own entries submitted in the final edition.

Later life and death

After the war, his house in Highgate was left badly damaged by German bomb raids and the majority of money he earned from publishing his work was spent on repairs. He fell into a depression and attempted a failed double suicide with his wife.

Cash-strapped, Thomas Forbes moved alone back to his birthplace, Paris.
It is said that he completed only a few paintings and had virtually given up on writing poetry. The only piece of work recorded by Thomas Forbes in Paris was written weeks before his death and was entitled "Is it fair, Lumiere?" (1988). Thomas Forbes died of alcohol-related problems in Paris on 31 January 1988. He is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Grand Kabuki is a theatre troupe originating in Japan.

Using a stylized mixture of dance and music, mime and vocal performance, Grand Kabuki is a form of moralizing entertainment in Japan since the mid-17th century. Kabuki was considered the theatre of the common people.

Grand Kabuki made its United States debut at Manhattan's City Center in 1960. This troupe is one of Japan's oldest and greatest theater troupes.  Unlike previous Kabuki-type visitors to America, Grand Kabuki, as true Kabuki, consists of all-male casts. Though Kabuki actually originated around 1600 with a woman dancer, one of its great modern claims to distinction is its onnagata, or extraordinary female impersonators.

Speeds up to 1Gbit/s are offered in Western Japan, while in East Japan only 200Mbit/s is officially offered for residential use, even though the underlying fiber infrastructure is capable of 1Gbit/s.

OCN also offers an MVNO mobile broadband service called "OCN Mobile One", based on NTT Docomo's LTE infrastructure. Initially it started out as a data-only service, but more recently OCN Mobile One also offers an onseikake SIM card (音声対応SIMカード) that provides full service (data, SMS and voice) without requiring any calling app.

Plate glass, flat glass or sheet glass is a type of glass, initially produced in plane form, commonly used for windows, glass doors, transparent walls, and windscreens. For modern architectural and automotive applications, the flat glass is sometimes bent after production of the plane sheet. Flat glass stands in contrast to container glass (used for bottles, jars, cups) and glass fibre (used for thermal insulation, in fibreglass composites, and for optical communication).

Flat glass has a higher  magnesium oxide and sodium oxide content than container glass, and a lower silica, calcium oxide, and aluminium oxide content. From the lower soluble oxide content comes the better chemical durability of container glass against water, which is required especially for storage of beverages and food.

Most flat glass is soda–lime glass, produced by the float glass process (1950s). Other processes for making flat glass include:

 Broad sheet method (13th century)
 Window crown glass technique (14th century)
 Blown plate method (17th century)
 Plate polishing (17th century)
 Cylinder blown sheet method
 Machine drawn cylinder sheet method (early 20th century)
 Rolling (rolled plate glass, figure rolled glass) (19th century)
 Fourcault process (1900s)
 Float glass (1950s)
 Overflow downdraw method (1960s)
The term plate glass universities is used in the United Kingdom to describe a group – or generation – of universities (in an acknowledgement of the term red brick universities, used for an older generation of establishments).

Quality and damage
Scratches can occur on sheet of glass from accidental causes. In glass trade terminology these include "block reek" produced in polishing, "runner-cut" or “over/under grind” caused by edge grinding, or a "sleek" or hairline scratch, as well as "crush" or "rub" on the surface.

This is a list of state highways in the U.S. state of California that have existed since the 1964 renumbering. It includes routes that were defined by the California State Legislature but never built, as well as routes that have been entirely relinquished to local governments. It does not include the few routes that were relinquished before 1964 or the larger number of sign routes that were renumbered in or before 1964.

Each state highway in California is maintained by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and is assigned a Route (officially State Highway Route) number in the Streets and Highways Code (Sections 300-635). Under the code, the state assigns a unique Route X to each highway, and does not differentiate between state, US, or Interstate highways.

List
 U.S. Routes and Interstate Highways that traverse California are also defined in the California Streets and Highways code as state routes. This list does not include these state routes as they are listed separately.
 A few cases exist, such as SR 110, where a defined California State Route partially overlaps with a federally defined Interstate Highway, while the remaining portion is signed as a state highway. This table only addresses the portion signed as a California State Route in these cases.
 Lengths for each state route were initially measured as they existed during the 1964 state highway renumbering (or during the year the route was established, if after 1964), and do not necessarily reflect the current mileage.
 The years listed reflect when the route was affected by legislative action, this is not necessarily the same year as the actual construction or signing changes to the route. Most notably, SR 275 was deleted from the Streets and Highways Code in 1996, but remained partially maintained until it was added back in 2010; and SR 42 was signed as such for over 30 years after it was renumbered 105.
 Concurrences are not explicitly codified in the Streets and Highways Code; such highway segments are listed on only one of the corresponding legislative route numbers. For example, the I-80/I-580 concurrency, known as the Eastshore Freeway, is only listed under Route 80 in the highway code while the definition of Route 580 is broken into non-contiguous segments. When a highway is broken into such segments, the total length recorded by Caltrans only reflects those non-contiguous segments and does not include those overlaps that would be required to make the route continuous.
 Some highways are not contiguous as the state has relinquished control of small sections to local governments. The stated length of the highway may or may not reflect the portions under local control.

Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS, also abbreviated as WiPS or WFPS) is a geolocation system that uses the characteristics of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and other wireless access points to discover where a device is located.

It is used where satellite navigation such as GPS is inadequate due to various causes including multipath and signal blockage indoors, or where acquiring a satellite fix would take too long.  Such systems include assisted GPS, urban positioning services through hotspot databases, and indoor positioning systems. Wi-Fi positioning takes advantage of the rapid growth in the early 21st century of wireless access points in urban areas.

The most common and widespread localization technique used for positioning with wireless access points is based on measuring the intensity of the received signal (received signal strength indication or RSSI) and the method of "fingerprinting". Typical parameters useful to geolocate the wireless access point include its SSID and MAC address. The accuracy depends on the number of nearby access points whose positions have been entered into the database. The Wi-Fi hotspot database gets filled by correlating mobile device GPS location data with Wi-Fi hotspot MAC addresses. The possible signal fluctuations that may occur can increase errors and inaccuracies in the path of the user. To minimize fluctuations in the received signal, there are certain techniques that can be applied to filter the noise.

In the case of low precision, some techniques have been proposed to merge the Wi-Fi traces with other data sources such as geographical information and time constraints (i.e., time geography).

Motivation and applications
Accurate indoor localization is becoming more important for Wi-Fi based devices due to the increased use of augmented reality, social networking, health care monitoring, personal tracking, inventory control and other indoor location-aware applications.

In wireless security, it is an important task used to locate and map rogue access points

The popularity and low price of Wi-Fi network interface cards is an attractive incentive to use Wi-Fi as the basis for a localization system and significant research has been done in this area in the past 15 years.

Problem statement and basic concepts
The problem of Wi-Fi based indoor localization of a device consists in determining the position of client devices with respect to access points. Many techniques exist to accomplish this, and these may be classified into four main types:  received signal strength indication (RSSI), fingerprinting, angle of arrival (AoA) and time of flight (ToF) based techniques.

In most cases the first step to determine a device's position is to determine the distance between the target client device and a few access points. With the known distances between the target device and access points, trilateration algorithms may be used to determine the relative position of the target device, using the known position of access points as a reference. Alternatively, the angle of arriving signals at a target client device can be employed to determine the device's location based on triangulation algorithms.

A combination of these techniques may be used to increase the accuracy of the system.

Techniques

Signal strength based
RSSI localization techniques are based on measuring signal strength from a client device to several different access points, and then combining this information with a propagation model to determine the distance between the client device and the access points. Trilateration (sometimes called multilateration) techniques can be used to calculate the estimated client device position relative to the known position of access points.

Though one of the cheapest and easiest methods to implement, its disadvantage is that it does not provide very good accuracy (median of 2-4m), because the RSSI measurements tend to fluctuate according to changes in the environment or multipath fading.

Cisco systems is using RSSI to locate devices through its Access Points. Access points collect the location data and update the location on the Cisco cloud called Cisco DNA Spaces.

Fingerprinting based
Traditional fingerprinting is also RSSI-based, but it simply relies on the recording of the signal strength from several access points in range and storing this information in a database along with the known coordinates of the client device in an offline phase. This information can be deterministic or probabilistic. During the online tracking phase, the current RSSI vector at an unknown location is compared to those stored in the fingerprint and the closest match is returned as the estimated user location. Such systems may provide a median accuracy of 0.6m and tail accuracy of 1.3m.

Its main disadvantage is that any changes to the environment, such as adding or removing furniture or buildings, may change the "fingerprint" that corresponds to each location, requiring an update to the fingerprint database. However, integration with other sensors such as cameras can be used in order to deal with a changing environment.

Angle of arrival based

With the advent of MIMO Wi-Fi interfaces, which use multiple antennas, it is possible to estimate the AoA of the multipath signals received at the antenna arrays in the access points, and apply triangulation to calculate the location of client devices. SpotFi, ArrayTrack and LTEye are proposed solutions which employ this kind of technique.

Typical computation of the AoA is done with the MUSIC algorithm. Assuming an antenna array of  antennas equally spaced by a distance of  and a signal arriving at the antenna array through  propagation paths, an additional distance of  is traveled by the signal to reach the second antenna of the array.

Considering that the -th propagation path arrives with angle  with respect to the normal of the antenna array of the access point,  is the attenuation experienced at any antenna of the array. The attenuation is the same in every antenna, except for a phase shift which changes for every antenna due to the extra distance traveled by the signal. This means that the signal arrives with an additional phase of

at the second antenna and

at the -th antenna.

Therefore, the following complex exponential can be used as a simplified representation of the phase shifts experienced by each antenna as a function of the AoA of the propagation path:

The AoA can then be expressed as the vector  of received signals due to the -th propagation path, where  is the steering vector and given by:There is one steering vector for each propagation path, and the steering matrix  (of dimensions ) is then defined as:and the received signal vector  is:where  is the vector complex attenuations along the  paths. OFDM transmits data over multiple different sub carriers, so the measured received signals  corresponding to each sub carrier form the matrix  expressed as:The matrix   is given by the channel state information (CSI) matrix which can be extracted from modern wireless cards with special tools such as the Linux 802.11n CSI Tool.

This is where the MUSIC algorithm is applied in, first by computing the eigenvectors of  (where  is the conjugate transpose of ) and using the vectors corresponding to eigenvalue zero to calculate the steering vectors and the matrix . The AoAs can then be deduced from this matrix and used to estimate the position of the client device through triangulation.

Though this technique is usually more accurate than others, it may require special hardware in order to be deployed, such as an array of six to eight antennas or rotating antennas. SpotFi proposes the use of a superresolution algorithm which takes advantage of the number of measurements taken by each of the antennas of the Wi-Fi cards with only three antennas, and also incorporates ToF based localization to improve its accuracy.

Time of flight based

Time of flight (ToF) localization approach takes timestamps provided by the wireless interfaces to calculate the ToF of signals and then use this information to estimate the distance and relative position of one client device with respect to access points. The granularity of such time measurements is in the order of nanoseconds and systems which use this technique have reported localization errors in the order of 2m. Typical applications for this technology are tagging and locating assets in buildings, for which room-level accuracy (~3m) is usually enough.

The time measurements taken at the wireless interfaces are based on the fact that RF waves travel close to the speed of light, which remains nearly constant in most propagation media in indoor environments. Therefore, the signal propagation speed (and consequently the ToF) is not affected so much by the environment as the RSSI measurements are.

Unlike traditional ToF-based echo techniques, such as those used in RADAR systems, Wi-Fi echo techniques use regular data and acknowledgement communication frames to measure the ToF.

As in the RSSI approach, the ToF is used only to estimate the distance between the client device and access points. Then a trilateration technique can be used to calculate the estimated position of the device relative to the access points. The greatest challenges in the ToF approach consist in dealing with clock synchronization issues, noise, sampling artifacts and multipath channel effects. Some techniques use mathematical approaches to remove the need for clock synchronization.

More recently, the Wi-Fi Round Trip Time standard has provided fine ToF ranging capabilities to WiFi.

Privacy concerns
Citing the specific privacy concerns arising out of WPS, Google suggested a unified approach for opting-out a particular access point from taking part in determining location using WPS. Appending "_nomap" to a wireless access point's SSID excludes it from Google's WPS database. Google hopes that other WPS providers and data collectors, like Apple and Microsoft, follow that recommendation so that it becomes an accepted standard. Mozilla honors _nomap as a method of opting-out of its location service.

Adnan Khairallah (; c. 1939 – 4 May 1989) was Saddam Hussein's brother-in-law (Sajida Talfah's brother and Khairallah Talfah's son) and cousin. He held several titles and was a member of the Iraqi Revolutionary Command Council. He also served as the Defence Minister of Iraq from 1979 until his death, being appointed days after Saddam Hussein succeeded to the Presidency.

He died in 1989 in a helicopter crash that was officially labeled an accident. The circumstances surrounding his death, including his disputes with Saddam and rumors of a potential coup, have led some to believe Adnan was assassinated under orders from Saddam.

Early life and education
Adnan was born in Tikrit in 1940, the son of Khairallah Talfah, an Arab nationalist officer in the Iraqi Army who was later involved in the 1941 Iraqi coup d'état and the ensuing Anglo-Iraqi War. His father was also the maternal uncle of Saddam Hussein, who would later marry Adnan's sister, Sajida. Adnan attended the Baghdad Military College and the Staff College, and later graduated with a degree from the Baghdad University School of Law and Politics in 1975.

Ba'ath Party
Adnan joined the Iraqi branch of the Ba'ath Party in 1956. He was arrested in 1959 following an unsuccessful attempt by the party to assassinate then-Prime Minister Abd al-Karim Qasim. Adnan would later go on to play a role in the 1963 and 1968 coups that brought the Ba'ath party to power.

In 1977, Adnan was appointed as the new Minister of Defence, taking over from Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, then Iraqi President and Secretary of the Iraqi Regional Command of the Ba'ath Party. He was also appointed Minister of State, and held membership ini both the Ba'ath Party Regional Command and the Revolutionary Command Council, the primary decision-making body in Iraq. In 1979, he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister.

Adnan served as Iraqi Minister of Defence throughout the Iran–Iraq War, and was appointed Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, second only to Saddam Hussein. In this position, he played a crucial role in rebuilding and modernizing the Iraqi military.

Rift with Saddam

In November 1988, Uday Hussein, Adnan's nephew and Saddam Hussein's eldest child, was arrested under orders from Saddam following an incident in which Uday was accused of killing Kamel Hana Gegeo, an officer serving as one of Saddam's presidential bodyguards. The scandal caused a rift in the family, with Uday's mother and Adnan's sister, Sajida, appealing to Adnan for help. Adnan then disappeared from public view, amid reports of unrest in the army, a potential coup, and the arrest of several military officers, prompting speculation of the involvement of Adnan in a coup attempt against Saddam.

Adnan later resurfaced in early 1989 when video footage was released showing Adnan, Sajida, and Saddam on a fishing holiday near Basra. Following his return to public view, Adnan resumed his regular duties as Defence Minister.

Death and aftermath

On 7 May 1989, Saddam Hussein announced that Adnan had died three days earlier in a helicopter crash. Adnan had been travelling by helicopter from Baghdad to Kurdistan region to inspect army positions when he had his flight diverted to meet several members of the Presidential family in the mountain resort of Sarsang, near Dohuk. While en route, his helicopter and two escorting helicopters, were caught in a sandstorm. The crew of the two escorting helicopters and one person travelling on Adnan's helicopter survived.

Announcing Adnan's death, Saddam referred to him as one of the distinguished war heroes and a sparkling star in Iraq's sky. Baghdad Radio announced that Adnan would be given a state funeral and buried in his hometown of Tikrit. A statue was also erected in Baghdad in his memory.

Although labeled an accident, speculation surrounded his death due to the detonation of four explosive charges on the helicopter he was in. Saddam's son-in-law Hussein Kamel al-Majid was accused of helping to orchestrate Adnan's death.

Although a relative of Saddam's, Adnan remained a popular figure after the Iraq War and a square named in his honour exists to this day in the al-Karkh area of Baghdad where his statue continued to stand following the fall of Baghdad in 2003, unlike those of other Saddam-era figures which were all immediately removed after the invasion. Reevaluation of Adnan's actions led to the removal of his statue in 2009.

Ross David Lee (born 21 August 1973) is an English comedian, actor, writer, and television presenter. He is best known for his television shows Chute! (2007), Ross Lees Ghoulies (2008), and The Pranker (2011).

TV career

Lee's first TV appearance came on the 'Prime Time' segment of Noel's House Party in 1996. He was given 60 seconds of prime time television to do a weather forecast from his bath at home, and the negative reception from the shows studio audience led to fellow Yorkshireman Richard Whiteley being dipped in gunge.

Ross Lee's Ghoulies
Lee was the host of Ross Lee's Ghoulies, a horror-comedy themed Saturday morning studio-based show which began broadcasting on Sunday 28 September and ended 13 December 2008 on Nickelodeon UK. It aired in two-hour blocks from 10am until 12noon, for 13 weeks. Lee appears as an apparent caricature of himself, as well as several different characters in sketches throughout the show.

Other TV appearances
Prior to Ross Lee's Ghoulies, Lee hosted a similar programme on CBBC entitled Chute!, which included various video clips and songs taken from the BBC archives and off the internet. He also made two appearances on Channel 4's Friday night comedy show Balls of Steel as the World's Worst (Occupation), portraying a taxi driver and a barman respectively. He also provided a voiceover on the DVD of the show. Lee did not appear in the second or third series of Balls of Steel.

Apart from Chute!, Lee appeared in other CBBC shows; once on SMart, and twice on TMi as Mark Rhodes' "friend", and on the last show for Flack's Musical Chairs. He was eliminated in the third round and received pie in his face. He later got his revenge, along with the other contenders, on Sam and Mark. He has also appeared in the Bo' Selecta! Christmas Special "Ho Ho Ho Selecta", and had a minor appearance on Look Around You in Episode Four where he played Andy Gough.

Lee narrated the British version of MTV's strip show-cum-music video show Pants-Off Dance-Off. He also appears in the 2010 music video for "I Feel Better" by Hot Chip, directed by Peter Serafinowicz.

After taking a break from presenting shows on children's TV, Ross starred in his own hidden camera show The Pranker on BBC Three, in which he pranks unsuspecting members of the general public. The Pranker ran for only one series with six episodes from 14 July - 18 August 2011.

In 2015, Ross starred in the first series of The Keith Lemon Sketch Show as numerous characters including Ronnie Wood and Batman and Robin. He then returned to the show in its second series supporting his lifelong friend, Leigh Francis (Keith Lemon)

Radio career

TBFM Online
On 6 February 2014, it was announced that Lee had joined the internet radio station TBFM Online as a DJ, and would be presenting a weekly one-hour show on the station.

The Gooding House and Tavern has a long and storied history that begins with its genesis as the home of George B. Gooding, who amassed a large amount of farmland and used his home as a stagecoach stop and tavern during the earliest years of Delaware County's development.  Also known as "Halfway House" and the "Gooding Tavern," this property was well situated on what is now U.S. Route 23 previously known as "Mud Pike", about halfway between the town of Worthington, Ohio on the south and the town of Delaware, Ohio on the north.  Owned by the Gooding family for 175 years, this farmstead and tavern played an important role in the commercial development of Orange Township and Delaware County during the 19th century and early 20th century.  The property demonstrates the broad pattern of Ohio's transportation-related commerce in the early 19th century, when inns and taverns were built to accommodate and sustain the traveler.

The Gooding House provides an example of the architectural evolution of a property from Ohio's settlement period, through the more prosperous years of the mid-19th century, to the changes brought by the early 20th century.  The building exhibits significant architectural features from each of these three periods:  1820s Federal influences, 1850s early Italianate influences, and 1910s Colonial Revival and Craftsman influences.  Each era was important to the architectural evolution of the property as it was occupied by succeeding generations of the Gooding family.

The Gooding family and property history
George B. Gooding, born in 1796 in Massachusetts, built the Gooding House and Tavern.  In 1826, Gooding purchased  bounded on the east by the north–south road that was to become the Columbus-Sandusky Turnpike that same year.  Anticipating increased traffic and a good business opportunity, George Gooding built a tavern facing the road in 1827.

In addition to running the tavern, George Gooding was expanding his farm, becoming well known as one of the most productive Delaware County farmers of the early 19th century.  By 1850, Gooding amassed about  on both sides of U.S. 23, and his farm produced about  of wool,  of butter and  of cheese yearly.

The Gooding family held the property until 2001 when it was sold, ending 175 years of continuous family ownership.

The property was restored in 2007 and today houses a media buying company (Strategic Media Placement), a post-production company, Brick Editorial Boutique & Studio, and a media company, The Strategy Group for Media.

Gooding Tavern history
George B. Gooding's tavern was also known as "Halfway House," reflecting its strategic location halfway between Worthington and Delaware.  Given the difficulties of stagecoach and wagon travel over the Columbus Pike, the Gooding Tavern was a principal and popular stop on the route between these two towns. Among the stories told about the house, it is said that Mrs. Gooding "made 40 pies at a time and would place them in the ice house, which still sits behind the house, to cool.  In the winter, ice would be cut from the river and laid down in the sawdust in the ice house to keep the food through the hot summer." It is also reported that General William Henry Harrison stayed at the Gooding Tavern on his way to his inaugural in 1841.

Architectural development and context
The original Gooding Tavern building had a Flemish bond facade and was 5 bays wide.  If it was a two-story building, the upper floor was removed and rebuilt c. 1854.  It is also possible that it was only one story or 1½ story high, and was greatly expanded at mid-century.  The tax records indicate a change in the value of the Gooding House in the mid-1850s.  The tax assessment had remained constant during the 1840s, but dropped off in 1854 to $450, followed by a significant jump to $1800 in 1855.  The huge jump between 1854 and 1855 indicates that significant improvements were made to the house in 1854.

At the age of 58, George Gooding appeared to be prospering as a farmer.  The addition of railroad transportation to Orange Station in 1850, the construction of the east–west connecting Gooding Road, now Orange Road, in the 1840s and early 1850s, and the continuing use of the building as a tavern (a "license to keep tavern" was issued to George Gooding in 1853) all contributed to the ability of George Gooding to make improvements to his property.  The change from Flemish bond pattern brick on the first story to common bond pattern brick on the second story provides evidence that the second floor was built after the Federal period.  Early Italianate characteristics include the wide eaves with carved brackets, the segmental arch windows with six-over-six sash; and the front entry enframement.  On the interior, the front stair handrail and newel post appear to date from the mid-19th century, as does the heavily molded woodwork on the second floor.

The Gooding House and Tavern was under the ownership of Harry Gooding, George Gooding's grandson, when the significant 1917 alterations took place.  At that time, Harry Gooding was continuing to farm the property.  Ninety years had passed since his grandfather had first built a tavern here, and as many as 60 years had elapsed since the house had been expanded and perhaps updated.  Much had changed in those years, including electrification and indoor plumbing, not to mention architectural tastes and styles.  The Colonial Revival style was gaining popularity, along with the Arts and Crafts movement of the teens and twenties.  Harry Gooding made a major investment in the home in 1916–1917, completely transforming the first floor with the addition of casement replacement windows, elaborate window and door trim, new exterior and interior doors, wall and ceiling paneling, new fireplace mantles, and built-in cupboards, casework and seating.  A large double casement window with window seat was added to the dining room.  Bathrooms on first and second floors were added then, and the kitchen was updated as well.

Tavern context
The Gooding House and Tavern is an example of a four-over-four building type that reflects its early origins as a tavern.  Its massing and plan are common to early-19th-century taverns and inns that were found in rural areas along the National Road and other early roads in Ohio

Small-scale rural taverns often had common floor plan features.  When George Gooding made his modifications to the house in 1854, it was still being used as a tavern.  The 1917 modifications made by his grandson signal a different era in the history of the property, when the road in front was paved and the automobile was an increasingly common sight.

Summary
In summary, the Gooding House and Tavern has evolved from its beginnings as an early-19th-century tavern, incorporating architectural changes as it was passed to succeeding generations of the same family over 175 years.  It remains a significant remnant of the early rural history of the Orange Township in Delaware County.  The building served as a tavern for approximately 30 years in the early 19th century, contributing significantly to the patterns of transportation commerce that existed along the Columbus and Sandusky Pike during that period.  The home continued in the ownership of the same family for the next 145 years, with modifications made that illustrate important architectural trends during different periods of history, most notably the mid-19th century and early 20th century.  It retains its distinctive architectural character today.
