The United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT) is a membership organization which aims to advance the skills and knowledge of theatre, entertainment and performing arts professionals involved in the areas of design, production and technology, and to generally promote their interests.  To this end, the USITT mounts conferences and exhibitions, promulgates awards and publications (including the official journal Theatre Design & Technology), and supports research.  USITT is a non-profit organization which has its headquarters in Syracuse, New York.

USITT heads up a conference held annually since 1961.  The conference focuses on various workshops, that help educate attendees on several aspects of theatre.  They also have a stage expo, in which companies showcase their products to the individuals attending the conference.  There are also many opportunities for students to show their portfolios for review, and to get a look at programs offered by universities and colleges around the country.

The members of the Institute have created a number of projects that have had a lasting impact upon the industry, such as the famed Dingleberries in Color exhibit staged in 2004.

USITT sponsors the annual Young Designers and Technicians Awards recognizing the finest young people in the industry.

Commissions

Sound Design Commission
The Sound Design Commission is a society which assists and promotes theatrical technical professions in the United States. It is one of the newest Commissions created by the USITT within their working groups.  In 1980 it appeared as the "Lighting and Sound Design Commission" and the two groups met and worked together for several years until the Sound Design members dramatically outnumbered the Lighting Design members and the Commission was split into two.  The first Sound Design Commissioner was Charlie Richmond who served from 1980 through 1988.  It remains one of the most active Commissions within the USITT.

Education Commission
The Education Commission serves students and educators in all areas of theatre design and technology. A diverse group of educators and a student liaison work to develop exciting and innovative programming for each Annual Conference & Stage Expo. The Commission regularly covers such topics as teaching, mentoring, tenure and promotion, curriculum, and student life. In addition, the work of the Education Commission continues throughout the year in the forms of several ongoing projects and archives.

Other Commissions
USITT also has an Engineering Commission, a Lighting Commission, a Management Commission, a Scene Design Commission, a Costume Commission among others.

The Celestial Triad is a set of fantasy novels by Traci Harding. The story follows a 20th-century Australian woman who is transported to 5th century Wales in an attempt to change the future. Major themes within the series include time travel, martial arts, magic and psychic phenomenon. It is the second trilogy to feature the characters concerned, the first being The Ancient Future Trilogy.

Plot

Book 1 – Chronicle of Ages
Traci Harding returns to The Ancient Future Trilogy which ended with the 'Chosen' leaving Earth for the further reaches of space. Earth must follow its own path for a time while the gods battle elsewhere. Noah, storyteller and chronicler, tutors the children born after colonization and must explore the past to fill in the gaps in his written histories. Tory, Maelgwn and Rhun recall their life and times in ancient Britain when Maelgwn reigned as High King of the Britons and Tory was a student of time travel and immortality under Taliesin. Rhun became King of Gwynedd after Maelgwn. When Vortipor, High King of the Britons, dies, there is a bloody 4-day skirmish over who should succeed him. Sir Bryce is killed in the action and Rhun is forced to abdicate. Noah finds himself on a celestial journey through the ethers, space and time as the missing years in his Chronicle of Ages unfold.

Book 2 – Tablet of Destinies
The second book in The Celestial Triad takes Tory and Maelgwn into the realms of the Devachan, the Fourth Dimension. They and their clan have had many peaceful years on the planet of Kila until Tory's new twin babies, only a few days after their birth, are switched with changelings ... the babies now exhibit all the characteristics of fairy folk and, as with all deva infants, are neither male nor female.

Tory seeks the counsel of the Tablet of Destinies and is told that the changelings are the first of the Devachan to venture into human existence, and that her twins are the first humans to choose to experience the world of the Devachan ... and all the babies are psychically linked. To reclaim their children, Tory and Maelgwyn must journey into the fourth dimension.

Book 3 – The Cosmic Logos
With the Nefilim gone, and all the human races united, it is time for Tory and Maelgwn to unite into one soul-mind and assume their rightful place among the other ascended masters of the Cosmic Logos. But first, they must address the growing problems on Gaia so that their planet of origin may join the new interstellar alliance.

On Kila, Lahmu's newly appointed council is confronted by a major threat to the peace when the Aten space station is mysteriously stolen. Now Lahmu and the young rulers of the intergalactic alliance must track down the culprits before they discover the Aten's time travel function and cast history in chaos.

Tory and Maelgwn struggle to guide their kindred, who remain on the earth plane. But will the Dragon's boys perceive the counsel of their absent parents, before intergalactic war drags humankind to the brink.

99-es számú bérkocsi () is a 1918 Hungarian crime drama film directed by Michael Curtiz. The film is sometimes just referred to as 99.

The film's plot is about a London police officer who visits a millionaires club to make a wager that he could commit a crime that the police will not discover for 30 days.

Cast
Cast adapted from Michael Curtiz European Filmography.

Production
Outside working at the Star Company, Bela Lugosi worked for the smaller company Phönix. His second film for the company was 99-es számú bérkocsi () Much of the cast had worked or would work with Lugosi, including Lajos Réthey who worked on stage with Lugosi in 1904 adaptation of Trilby and  Gyula Gál who worked with Lugosi at the National Theatre in Budapest. Mihály Várkonyi would work with Lugosi again in The Black Camel (1931).

The film was directed by Michael Curtiz. A reel of the film was overexposed during the films final production, leading to Curtiz ordering Lugosi to do retakes. Lugosi reportedly refused and was excoriated in front of the entire company and did not return until Curtis agreed to apologize to Lugosi in front of the crew.

Release
99-es számú bérkocsi was previewed at the Royal-Apolló in Budapest on September 12, 1918 before being released on November 8, 1918.

Film historian István Nemeskürty stated that both 99-es számú bérkocsi and Az ezredes ranked among Curtiz's most successful Hungarian films.  The film was apparently popular enough that Phönix proposed a follow-up titled 77 featuring the same London police officer. That film does not appear to have gone into production.

WQHC (1170 AM) was a radio station licensed to serve Hanceville, Alabama, United States. The station was owned by Fatima Family Apostolate International, Inc. WQHC broadcast a Catholic radio format to the greater Cullman, Alabama, area.

History

The beginning
This station received its original construction permit for a 500 watt daytime-only AM station at 1170 kHz from the Federal Communications Commission  (FCC) on May 1, 1984. The station was assigned the call letters WHZI by the FCC on June 11, 1984. WHZI received its license to cover from the FCC on December 31, 1986.

In September 1990, owner Betty Jane Stinedurf reached an agreement to sell the station to Rojo, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on November 2, 1990, and the transaction was consummated on November 7, 1990. The new owners had the FCC change the station's call letters to WRJL on November 28, 1990. After a format change to rock music ("Rock Of The New Millennium"), the station's callsign was changed to WXRP on January 17, 1997.

In March 1999, Rojo, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Maplewood Properties, LLC (Windol Jay Robinson, managing member) for a reported $175,000. The deal was approved by the FCC on April 28, 1999, and the transaction was consummated on May 7, 1999. Windol Jay Robinson died on July 15, 2001. After clearing probate, control of WXRP passed involuntarily from Windol Jay Robinson to Joseph Ralph Jolly, Jr., the executor of his estate, in January 2002. The transfer was approved by the FCC on January 28, 2002.

In May 2004, Maplewood Properties, LLC, reached an agreement to sell the station to WJR Broadcasting, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on June 29, 2004, and the transaction was consummated on September 27, 2004.

Joy Christian

In December 2006, WJR Broadcasting, LLC, reached an agreement to donate this station as a charitable gift to Joy Christian Communications, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on March 5, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on March 16, 2007.

The new owners had the FCC change the call sign to WLYG on March 29, 2007. While it operated, Joy Christian broadcast a Southern Gospel music format. WLYG fell silent on October 15, 2007, after Joy Christian Communications lost their lease on the original tower site property. In a filing with the FCC, the station owners claimed that the landlord broke their lease agreement and that they were forced to remove their tower and broadcast equipment on short notice. They further stated that they had located land "very close to the original site" and were in negotiations to purchase the land with plans to erect their tower and file required documents with the FCC upon conclusion of the negotiations. In the meantime, WLYG requested temporary remain silent authority from the commission. The FCC granted this request on October 31, 2007, with a scheduled expiration of April 28, 2008.

On November 15, 2008, WLYG fell silent again as owner Joy Christian Communications had lost their lease on the tower site and, in their application to the FCC for remain silent authority, noted that they were "in negotiations with the landlord to resume operations" at the site. On February 26, 2009, the station was granted a continuing stay-silent authority with a scheduled expiration of August 28, 2009.

WQHC
In December 2008, Joy Christian Communications, Inc. (Ed Smith, president) agreed to sell WLYG to Queen of Heaven Catholic Radio, Inc. (Marc Corsini, president) for a reported sale price of $18,000. At the time of the sale, the station was off the air. The deal was approved by the FCC on February 27, 2009, and the transaction was consummated on April 23, 2009. The new owners had the FCC change the call sign to WQHC to match the "Queen of Heaven" branding on March 16, 2009.

As of December 2009, WQHC was back on the air with special temporary authorization from the FCC, broadcasting with 10 watts of power from a whip antenna located on Alabama Highway 91, approximately one half mile from the intersection of US Highway 31 in Hanceville. The FCC granted an extension to the special arrangement with the 10 watt whip antenna in June 2010; the request only indicated the station was in "initial talks" with landowners of a couple possible sites.

The station's license was assigned to Fatima Family Apostolate International, Inc. for no consideration effective July 31, 2013.

WQHC's license was cancelled on April 2, 2020, due to the station failing to file an application for license renewal by April 1.

WJLX (1240 AM) was a radio station licensed to serve Jasper, Alabama. The station was owned by Don Earley.  It aired a full-service oldies music format.

WJLX has now been silent for more than two years which is more than twice the length of time allowed by the Federal Communications Commission before the license of a radio station is permanently deleted. Because of this, the radio station legally no longer exists along with W268BM, the FM translator which was authorized to rebroadcast WJLX onto the FM band.

The station was assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission since January 29, 2008, when it swapped with then-sister station WLYJ.

History
In September 1993, Radio South, Inc., reached an agreement to sell country music formatted WARF to New Century Radio, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on September 27, 1993.

The station was assigned the call letters WTID by the FCC on January 9, 2003.  In May 2004, New Century Radio, Inc. (Vachel L. Posey Jr., president) reached an agreement to sell WTID to Joy Christian Communications Inc. (Ed L. Smith, president) for a reported sale price of $200,000.  The deal was approved by the FCC on June 28, 2004, and the transaction was consummated on July 9, 2004.  At the time of the sale, the station broadcast an oldies music format. The new owners had the FCC change this station's call letters to WLYJ on September 8, 2004.

The station was assigned the call letters WZTQ by the FCC on September 17, 2007, when it swapped with then-sister station WLYJ. Just before the station was put up for sale, on January 29, 2008 the owners had the station's callsign changed again, this time to WJLX.

In February 2008, Joy Christian Communications Inc. reached an agreement to sell WJLX to Walker County Broadcasting (through their subsidiary, Wal Win LLC, headed by shareholder Brett Elmore - known locally as "The One-Armed Bandit". Wal Win LLC agreed to pay in full the mortgage held against real property (with the pay-off being $300,000) in exchange for the station.  The deal was approved by the FCC on March 27, 2008, and the transaction was consummated on April 11, 2008.

On October 1, 2009 WJLX changed their format to oldies, branded as "Oldies 101.5" (the FM frequency is translator W268BM, which relayed WJLX on 101.5 FM).

Unable to pay debts and financially insolvent, Wal Win sold WJLX to the Hattie Reese Trust effective January 19, 2017 for $150,000. The station's license was subsequently assigned to John Burdette upon the dissolution of the Trust effective November 20, 2017.

Effective May 1, 2018, the station was sold to Don Earley, who owns the Alabama Cable Network. The station retained General Manager Brett Elmore as well as on-air talent Johnny Elmore and Woody Wilson.

WJLX stopped broadcasting at some point during late 2020 or early 2021 and has not broadcast since.

Domhnall mac Raghnaill was a Hebridean noble in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. He is the eponymous progenitor of Clan Donald (Clann Dhòmhnaill, "Children of Donald"). For this reason some traditions accumulated around him in the later Middle Ages and early modern period. His vast impact on culture and in the centuries remains today. Despite his role as the historical figurehead of one of the world's most famous kindreds and surnames, there is almost no contemporary evidence yielding certain information about his life.

His place in the genealogical tradition of the MacDonalds is the only reason for believing in his existence, a genealogical tradition that not all historians have accepted. Beyond his actual existence, there is little that is certain. Three entries in Irish annals may discuss him, though he is never named; a praise poem surviving from the early modern period may be descended from a poem originally written for him; a miracle in a Manx chronicle may or may not have Domhnall as its subject; and a doubtful charter surviving from a similarly late era was allegedly issued by him.

Origins
Domhnall was, reputedly, the son of Raghnall (fl. 1192), son of Somhairle (died 1164). The 17th-century History of the Macdonalds by Hugh MacDonald of Sleat claimed that Domhnall's father Raghnall had married a daughter or sister of the early-14th-century hero Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray. Sellar suggested that this tradition may have derived from a garbled version of reality. Perhaps, Sellar argued, his mother was a daughter of William fitz Duncan. The latter was another famous earl of Moray, but one who lived in the 12th rather than the 14th century.

In a charter to Paisley Abbey Domhnall's father Raghnall is given a wife named Fonia (Fionnghuala?), though there is no direct proof that this was the name of Domhnall's mother. Raghnall, carrying the legacy of his own father Somhairle, was a powerful Argyll and Hebridean magnate who, depending on context, bore the titles 'King of the Isles', 'Lord of Argyll and Kintyre', and 'lord of the Hebrides' (Inchegal). His father's legacy was such that he became the ancestor figure of both Clann Ruaidhrí and Clan Donald.

Possible evidence of life

Annals of Ulster
There are no certain contemporary notices of Domhnall, and Domhnall's existence is not explicitly attested in any reliable contemporary source datable to any particular year. However, in 1212, Domhnall may have been one of the "sons of Raghnall" who suffered some kind of military defeat at the hands of the men of the Isle of Skye. The Annals of Ulster, reporting for the year 1209, recorded that:  A battle was fought by the sons of Raghnall, son of Somhairle, against the men of Skye, wherein slaughter was inflicted upon them. A similar report from the same source has the "sons of Raghnaill" join in a raid on the Irish city of Derry led by Tomás Mac Uchtraigh, brother of Alan, Lord of Galloway. Under the year 1212 it related that: Tomás Mac Uchtraigh, with the sons of Raghnall, son of Somhairle, came to Derry of St. Colum-Cille with six and seventy ships and the town was greatly destroyed by them and Inis-Eogain was completely destroyed by them and by the Cenél Conaill. Two years later, a similar raid by Tomás is mentioned by the same source, though the only "son of Raghnall" reported as present that time was Domhnall's older brother, Ruaidhrí mac Raghnaill.

Domhnall mac Raghnaill, Rosg Mall
A recently rediscovered poem—though from a 17th-century manuscript written by Niall MacMhuirich—was addressed to one Domhnall mac Raghnaill, Rosg Mall ("Domhnall mac Raghnaill, of the Stately Gaze"). It is possible that this may refer to the same Domhnall mac Raghnaill, a claim made by its recent editor. The poem gives little information. Besides associating him with Lennox, a quatrain addressed him as:  Gall is a word that originally meant "Foreigner" or "Norseman" (later "Lowlander"), and might be meant to refer to someone from the region of Innse Gall, i.e. from the Hebrides. It is not clear who Gofraidh or Amhlaibh Fionn are, but they may refer to some of the Norse–Gaelic rulers of Mann and Dublin, possibly Amhlaibh Conung and Gofraidh Crobhán.

Miracle from the Manx chronicle
The Chronicle of the Kings of Man related a story that may have involved Domhnall. In 1249, according to the text, following the death of Haraldr Óláfsson, King of Mann, the new ruler Haraldr Guðrøðarson persecuted one of the old king's favourite vassals. This persecuted vassal, described as an "aged man", was named as Dofnaldus, i.e. Domhnall. Domhnall and his young son were subsequently imprisoned. Owing to the intervention of St Mary, Domhnall and his son managed to escape, and brought their thanks and story to the Abbey of St Mary of Rushen, the monastic house at which the Chronicle was kept.<ref>Woolf, Dead Man", p. 78.</ref>

Possible charter
There is a charter allegedly issued by Domhnall to Paisley Abbey, found in the cartulary of that abbey. In this charter Domhnall is given no title, instead merely described by his genealogy: Douenaldus filius Reginaldi filii Sumerledi, "Domhnall, son of Raghnall, son of Somhairle". This charter is thought by some historians to be spurious, mainly because the witness list and wording of the charter are, in the words of Alex Woolf, "suspiciously similar" to those in a genuine charter of Domhnall's son Aonghus Mór. Presumably, the explanation is that the monks of Paisley Abbey at some later stage may have thought it in their interest to replicate Aonghus Mór's charter in order to add the authority of the founder of Clan Donald to their land rights.

Death
In 1247 Maurice fitz Gerald, Justiciar of Ireland, invaded the territory of Maol Seachlainn Ó Domhnaill, King of Tír Chonaill, defeating and killing this Irish king at the Battle of Ballyshannon. According to the Annals of Loch Cé, one of Maoilsheachlainn's allies who died at Ballyshannon was a Mac Somhairle, a "Descendant of Somhairle": Mac Somhairle, king of Argyll, and the nobles of the Cenel-Conaill besides, were slain. The Irish historian Seán Duffy suggested that this "Mac Somhairle" was Domhnall mac Raghnall. Duffy's main argument is that the 18th-century Book of Clanranald relayed a tradition that Domhnall had been invited by the Irish at Tara to come "to take the headship of the Western Isles and the greater part of the Gaels".

McDonald believed that this "Mac Somhairle" referred to Donnchadh mac Dubhghaill, while Sellar thought that the clear favourite for this "Mac Somhairle" should be Domhnall's older brother Ruaidhrí. Alex Woolf more recently offered an extended case for the latter view, arguing on a number of grounds that Ruaidhrí is by far the best candidate.

Assuming that Domhnall is not the "dead man at Ballyshannon", the date of Domhnall's death cannot be fixed. MacDonald tradition placed it in 1289, a tradition usually rejected by modern historians as falling far too late. R. Andrew McDonald suggested that Domhnall's death must have taken place before 1263, when King Haakon collected the allegiance of Aonghus Mór in the Hebrides. Alex Woolf argued that it very likely must have occurred before February 1256, when Domhnall's son Aonghus Mór made a grant to Paisley Abbey is his own name as "Lord of Islay", suggesting at the very least that Domhnall had retired.

Legacy
Domhnall's main legacy is being the eponymous founding figure of the famous MacDonald kindred of Islay. Early modern MacDonald tradition thought of Domhnall as a "Lord of the Isles", like his descendants. One such tradition related that King Alexander II of Scotland sent a messenger to Domhnall, requesting that he hold the Isles from Alexander rather than the "King of Denmark"; Domhnall was said to have responded that his predecessorsHad their rights of the Isles from the crown of Denmark, which were renewed by the present king thereof.This anachronistic portrayal of the struggle between King Haakon IV of Norway and the Scottish crown for overlordship of the western seaboard of Scotland, giving Domhnall such a senior role, does not fit with the contemporary evidence. When it was written down, Denmark ruled Norway and the MacDonalds were well established as the rulers the Isles. However, during most of his life Domhnall was probably subordinate to his older brother, Ruaidhrí mac Raghnaill, and as Alex Woolf has said "there is little or no explicit contemporary evidence that Domhnall was a significant figure during his lifetime".

Nevertheless, Domhnall appears to have left his son Aonghus Mór a lordship of respectable size centred on Islay, while his reputedly younger son Alasdair Mór appears to have been left lands in Kintyre. According to a praise-poem written for this son, the realm the latter inherited from Domhnall included "every house from Mull to Kintyre" (gach teach ó Mhuile go Maoil).

Gong Zhu (拱猪) is a Chinese four-player trick-taking card game that is similar to Black Lady, the leading member of the Hearts family. However, it differs in that it assigns quite different point values to cards. The objective of the game is to score positive points and avoid penalty points. Gong Zhu means: Chase the Pig, for "pig" is the name given to the Q♠.

All players start with 0 points. The goal is to not be the first person to go past -1000 points (thus losing the game) and in some variations, also not more than 1000 points. The loser(s) becomes the pig, as Gong Zhu means "chase the pig" in Chinese. All points accumulate until any player(s) have lost, for which the game ends and all points will be reset to 0.

Unlike the Western game of Black Lady, there is no passing of cards prior to each round in Gong Zhu.

Point values
 Point cards:
 The  (goat) is worth +100 points
 The  (pig) is worth -100 points
 The  (transformer) counts as zero points, but doubles a player's points at the end of a round and adds it to the accumulated points. If at the end of a round, a player has the 10 of clubs and no other point cards, the 10 of clubs is worth +50 points (or +100 if exposed: see below).
 The Hearts are worth -200 points  in total:
 Ace -50 points
 King -40 points
 Queen -30 points
 Jack -20 points
 10 through 5 are worth -10 points
 4 through 2 are worth no points
 All other cards are worth 0 points and do not play a part in scoring.

Exposure of cards

In Gong Zhu, a player may expose ("sell") the cards Q♠, J, 10♣, or A (affecting all hearts) before each round, thus showing the card(s) to the other players. By the rules of Gong Zhu, if a player exposes a card, he/she must not play it in the first trick when the dealer plays the corresponding suit, so as to be able to give a chance for players with higher cards to get rid of them without being disadvantaged by the exposure. The exception to this is when the exposed card is the only card in that suit (in any particular player's possession during that round).

For example, by exposing the Q♠, a player cannot play it in the first trick when the dealer plays a spade to allow players with the cards K♠ and A♠ to get rid of them.

Exposing a card doubles its effect. For example, if the Q♠ is doubled, it will be worth -200 instead of -100. In the case of the 10♣, since it isn't worth anything in itself, the doubling effect of the 10 of clubs is doubled, which if exposed and taken by that same player, will quadruple the value of all the other point cards collected in that round.

 If the Q♠, 10♣ and A have been exposed and a player has these three cards after one trick, then he/she will receive -1200 (4*((-100*2)+(-50*2))) points.
 If the A has been exposed and a player has all hearts but the ace, he/she will receive -300 (2*(-150)) points.

Playing

In each trick, the suit is determined by the dealer who produces the first card. Players take turns to play a card in an counterclockwise direction and whoever produces the card of the largest value in the same suit collects all four cards and becomes the next dealer. In many variants, the holder of 2♣ starts the first trick, and any card can be played during the first trick other than exposed ones. In online games, it is also common that the player who got the Q♠ (pig) in the last round starts the first trick.

At the end of a round, all players' points are totaled up and added to their accumulated points for that game. Player(s) who have accumulated -1000 or lower points immediately lose that game (called "chulan"(出栏), meaning "being driven out of the pigsty (and ready for slaughter)"). After which, a new game begins and all points are reset to 0.

Points calculated are on an accumulative basis; usually, players will be given the points that are assigned to whatever point cards he collected after one round.
There are multiple ways to shoot the moon, a player gaining points by doing so, rather than making other players lose points. In some cases, the J and the Q♠ switch values, giving negative points to unsuspecting players.

Terms & Jargon

 Cards
 Pig's sty: meaning K♠ and A♠ for their ability to capture the pig.
 Sheep's sty: meaning Q, K, and A for their ability to capture the goat.
 Results
 Small slam: collecting all cards of hearts (A-2). In this case, all hearts become positive in point calculations.
 Grand slam: collecting all point cards. In this case, all hearts and Q♠ become positive in point calculations.
 Playing (many in this category was derived from bridge)
 Lead: to be the first player in a new trick. The lead of the first trick is the dealer.
 Last: to be the first player in a trick. Players usually try to be in this position to discard unwanted cards such as K♠, A♠, and large cards of hearts and played suits to avoid gaining negative points.
 Shot down(击落): to deplete a player of a suit and capture the guarded honor (usually J) or small hearts (when trying to shoot the moon).
 Self get(自得) or self eat(自吃): to capture a trick using J or Q♠ and capture itself
 Discard(垫): to play a card different from the color of the trick. This card is captured by the largest card of the correct trick. (This can only happen if a player have no cards of the correct trick)
 Declare(摊牌): similar to its counterpart in bridge, it means to expose the remaining hand and explain the plan and result for playing. Other players may agree or disagree to this statement.
 All-get(全大): Declaring that the player will continue to capture all remaining tricks and therefore all point cards remaining.

External compression headache is caused by any type of headwear. This includes headwear that places pressure on the head — including tight hats, helmets, headbands, wigs and other artificial hair accessories, headphones and goggles. It is not known why some people are more sensitive than others to this type of pressure. External compression headaches can affect anyone who uses headwear. The headaches are more common among people who have migraines. It is believed to affect about four percent of the population. It is also referred to as "swim goggle headache".

These headaches can be brought on by such innocuous sources as wearing a halter top (presses against the neck), earplugs (presses against the jaw and inner ear), or wearing even a tiny hair clip (compresses the scalp). There is no known preventive treatment except to avoid the offending trigger. However, once symptoms arise and the trigger is removed, triptan-type migraine treatment is effective.

The predominant match on the Raw brand was Randy Orton versus John Cena for the WWE Championship, which Cena won after Orton disqualified himself. The featured match on the undercard was an Elimination Chamber match to determine the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXIV, which was won by The Undertaker. No Way Out marked the WWE return of The Big Show who left the company in February 2007 and an appearance by professional boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Presented by THQ's Frontlines: Fuel of War, the event had 329,000 buys, up on the No Way Out 2007 figure of 218,000 buys.

Production

Background
No Way Out was first held by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as the 20th In Your House pay-per-view (PPV) in February 1998. Following the discontinuation of the In Your House series, No Way Out returned in February 2000 as its own PPV event, thus establishing it as the annual February PPV for the promotion. The 2008 event was the 10th event in the No Way Out chronology and was held on February 17 at the Thomas & Mack Center in the Las Vegas suburb of Paradise, Nevada. While the previous four years' events featured wrestlers exclusively from the SmackDown brand, the 2008 event featured wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands, as following WrestleMania 23 in April 2007, brand-exclusive pay-per-views were discontinued.

Storylines
The event featured six professional wrestling matches on the card. The event starred wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown and ECW brands – storyline expansions of the promotion where employees are assigned to wrestling brands under the WWE banner. Wrestlers portrayed either a villainous or fan favorite gimmick, as they followed a series of events which generally built tension, leading to a wrestling match.

The main feud on the Raw brand heading into No Way Out was between Randy Orton and John Cena, with the two battling over the WWE Championship. At the Royal Rumble, Cena made a surprise return, entering as the thirtieth participant. Cena went on to win the match after last eliminating Triple H. The following night on Raw, Cena told Orton that he couldn't wait until WrestleMania and decided to cash in his title opportunity at No Way Out, which Orton accepted.

The main feud on the SmackDown brand was between Rey Mysterio and Edge, with the two battling over the World Heavyweight Championship. Mysterio won a Beat the Clock Challenge on the January 4 episode of SmackDown!, defeating Edge with 90 seconds to go, to earn a title shot at the Royal Rumble. At the Royal Rumble, Edge retained the title after his on-screen lover, SmackDown general manager Vickie Guerrero, interfered by receiving an attack for Edge by Mysterio. On the February 1 episode of SmackDown, Theodore Long, who was acting as the General Manager due to Guerrero's scripted injury, assigned a rematch between the two at No Way Out. Mysterio was injured at a live event overseas on February 13, but still chose to compete in his match.

The main feud on the ECW brand was between CM Punk and Chavo Guerrero, with the two battling over the ECW Championship. On the January 22 episode of ECW, Guerrero defeated Punk to win the title after Edge interfered. The following week on ECW, while Guerrero was celebrating his victory, Punk, disguised as a mariachi, hit Guerrero with his guitar during Guerrero's championship celebration. On the February 5 episode of ECW, Punk demanded a rematch against Guerrero for the title, which Guerrero accepted the challenge for No Way Out. On the same night, ECW general manager Armando Estrada scheduled the first-ever Gulf of Mexico match, in which Punk defeated Guerrero by throwing him into the Gulf of Mexico.

Other matches on the Raw brand included an Elimination Chamber match, where the winner would receive a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania, and a "Career Threatening" match between Mr. Kennedy and Ric Flair, where Flair would be forced to retire from wrestling if he loses. The other match on the SmackDown brand was another Elimination Chamber match, where the winner would receive a World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania.

Event

Before the event aired on pay-per-view, Kane defeated Shelton Benjamin by pinfall, after delivering a chokeslam. The first match that aired was the ECW Championship match between CM Punk and the champion, Chavo Guerrero. In the beginning, the two wrestlers exchanged control of the match until late into the match, where Punk kicked Guerrero's head, causing him to fall from the ring apron to the outside. Back in the ring, Punk set Guerrero up for a Hurracarana from the top turnbuckle, but Guerrero countered the attempt by holding the ropes, causing Punk to fall to the ring mat. Guerrero immediately executed a Frog splash, and pinned Punk to retain his title.

The next match was the SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber match between The Undertaker, Batista, Big Daddy V (with Matt Striker), Finlay, The Great Khali (with Ranjin Singh) and Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP). Batista and Undertaker were selected to start the match. Undertaker gained control of the match early after tossing Batista over the top rope onto the chamber's steel surface. In the ring, both men were knocked down by delivering a big boot to each other. The third entrant, Big Daddy V, then entered, and dominated both The Undertaker and Batista for some time, until Batista performed a Spinebuster on Big Daddy V. Shortly after, The Undertaker executed a DDT on the steel floor of the chamber on Big Daddy V and Batista pinned him, thus eliminating him. The fourth entrant was The Great Khali, who also dominated upon entering, but was eliminated when he submitted to the Gogoplata submission hold. The fifth entrant was Finlay, who gained the advantage over Batista by tossing him into the steel chains of the chamber, and over Undertaker by delivering a Celtic Cross to him for a near-fall. Finlay also slammed Undertaker's head into a pod, breaking it. The sixth entrant, MVP, was attacked by Undertaker when his pod was opened. MVP used a steel chain as a weapon on the other three competitors, causing Undertaker to start bleeding, until he climbed to the top of a pod. Undertaker followed and delivered a chokeslam to MVP from the top of the pod onto the ring, which cost MVP the match as Finlay pinned MVP and eliminated him. Later, Hornswoggle passed a shillelagh to Finlay from under the ring, which he used on both Batista and Undertaker, busting Batista's head open. He was soon eliminated by Undertaker who pinned him after a Chokeslam onto the chamber floor. The final two men were Batista and Undertaker. Batista gained advantage after delivering a Batista Bomb, but Undertaker kicked out, which led to Batista tossing Undertaker into the chamber wall. Undertaker however, retaliated and countered a powerslam attempt on the outside, bringing both men in, and delivered a Tombstone piledriver and pinned Batista, winning the match and earning a World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania XXIV.

The third match was a "Career threatening" match between Ric Flair and Mr. Kennedy. In this match, had Flair lost, he would have had to retire from professional wrestling. Throughout the match Kennedy worked on Flair's injured leg, but in the end, Flair was able to trip Kennedy into a Figure four leglock, forcing Kennedy to submit. Thus, Flair won the match and avoided retirement.

The next match saw Edge defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Rey Mysterio. The stipulation is that Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder are banned from ringside.  Throughout the match, Edge worked on Mysterio's injured biceps, affecting Mysterio's offense. However, Mysterio retaliated, delivering a Tornado DDT on Edge for an unsuccessful pin attempt. Later in the match, Mysterio executed a 619 on Edge, but couldn't capitalize due to his biceps. He then attempted a Springboard Splash, but Edge speared Mysterio in mid-air, and pinned him, retaining the title. After the match, The Big Show made a surprise return to WWE, where he cut a promo on his recent weight loss (over 108 pounds) and future plans of becoming a champion again. After doing so, The Big Show began taunting professional boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was in attendance and Mysterio's close friend. As Big Show threatened to chokeslam Mysterio, Mayweather jumped over the security wall and entered the ring to confront Big Show. Show then got on his knees to allow Mayweather to punch him, which Mayweather did with a combination of punches, bloodying The Big Show from the nose and mouth. Mayweather and his crew fled the ring, and then through the crowd, where Shane McMahon stopped The Big Show from chasing them.

The next match saw Randy Orton defend the WWE Championship against John Cena. The match started slow, with the men trading dominance. After a submission attempt by Cena, Orton feigned an injury outside the ring and ordered the referee Mike Chioda to count him out. When Cena came to check Orton's "injury", Orton delivered an RKO to Cena outside the ring. Orton got back in the ring and the referee started to count Cena out. Cena got back into the ring on a nine-count, but Orton purposely slapped the referee in the face and got himself disqualified. In result, Orton lost the match but retained the title. After the match, Cena delivered an FU to Orton, and applied the STFU.

The main event was between Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) and Umaga in the second Elimination Chamber match of the night. The first two superstars to start the match were Jericho and Michaels. They fought each other until Umaga entered, and dominated. Some of the highlights were Umaga performing a double Samoan Drop on Jericho and Michaels, and later, delivering his Samoan Wrecking Ball to Jericho through a pod. The next superstar to enter the match was JBL, who dominated the other three competitors for some time until he got eliminated by Jericho after a Codebreaker. After his elimination, JBL brought two steel chairs into the chamber to attack Jericho, Michaels and Umaga before leaving. Triple H entered the match next. Soon, every superstar delivered their finishing moves on Umaga, with Jericho delivering the Codebreaker, Michaels performing the Sweet Chin Music, Triple H executing the Pedigree, and finally Hardy delivering the Swanton Bomb from the top of a pod. Jericho took advantage and pinned Umaga to eliminate him. Hardy then eliminated Jericho soon after another Sweet Chin Music from Michaels. Later, Triple H eliminated Michaels after executing a Pedigree, following a Twist of Fate from Hardy. The final two men were Triple H and Hardy. They battled for about five minutes until Triple H delivered a Pedigree on Hardy, but failed to score the pinfall. Triple H tried to use a steel chair but Hardy retaliated, and attempted to deliver a Twist of Fate. Triple H countered the attempt by pushing Hardy into the steel chair. Finally, Triple H delivered a second and final Pedigree to Hardy, this time onto the steel chair, and pinned him to win the match, earning a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania.

Aftermath
The following night on Raw, John Cena demanded a rematch for the WWE Championship. General Manager William Regal made a non-title match for later that night between Orton and Cena, where if Cena won, he would be included in the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania XXIV. Triple H was assigned to be the guest referee. Cena won the match after executing an FU to Orton, thus changing the match at WrestleMania to a Triple Threat match. After the match, Triple H delivered a Pedigree to both Orton and Cena. At WrestleMania, Orton defeated both Cena and Triple H to retain the WWE Championship.

Also on this episode of Raw, Big Show challenged Floyd Mayweather Jr. to a match, which Mayweather accepted. The match was announced the following week to be scheduled for WrestleMania. The two met at WrestleMania, in a No Disqualification match, which Mayweather won.

The feud between Rey Mysterio and Edge ended when, on the February 22 episode of SmackDown, Mysterio said that he needed surgery, and would be out of action for seven weeks. Edge then entered a feud with The Undertaker, the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Edge and Undertaker met in a World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania, in which Undertaker defeated Edge to capture the World Heavyweight Championship, and to keep his undefeated streak intact.

On the February 25 episode of Raw, 2008 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee Ric Flair challenged Shawn Michaels to a match at WrestleMania. Michaels accepted with reluctance, knowing that due to a previous announcement from WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon the next match Flair loses would result in a forced retirement for Flair. Flair also said that "it would be an honor for him to retire at the hands of Shawn Michaels". At WrestleMania, Michaels defeated Flair, and Flair retired from WWE.

A Triple Threat match was made on ECW, where the winner would be the number one contender for the ECW Championship between CM Punk, Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke. Punk went on to win the match. One week later, on the March 4 episode of ECW, Punk fought Guerrero for the ECW Championship, but lost the match. Guerrero, however, lost the ECW Championship to Kane in just 11 seconds at WrestleMania XXIV.

Beauport Park is a house near Hastings, East Sussex, England. It is located at the western end of the ridge of hills sheltering Hastings from the north and east.

Roman occupation
In 1862, the Rector of Hollington Church found a huge slag heap on the site, evidence of probably the third largest iron works in the whole Roman empire. In 1967, Gerald Brodribb, using divining rods, and Dr Henry Cleere, an expert on ancient iron-working, began work that uncovered an impressively preserved bath house that was saved during the development of the golf course. It was fully excavated in the early 1970s. Although it was scheduled as an Ancient Monument, at present it has no public access. Excavations in 1980 around the bath-house produced post-holes which seem to form part of a pre-Roman roundhouse.

Early history
The first mention of Beauport Park is when General Sir James Murray is shown on local records as paying rates on some woodland. He built the house between 1763 and 1766, subsequently adding to the estate until it comprised about . Murray, who had served in Canada, named the estate after the Beauport in Canada. It was Murray who started the tradition of planting rare and unusual trees on the estate.

Following Murray's death in 1794, Beauport Park was then purchased by James Bland Burgess who served as Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to William Pitt. An obelisk which stands opposite the front of the hotel is in memory of James Burgess' second son, Ensign Wentworth Noel Burgess, who was killed in 1812 in the Peninsular War, aged 18, whilst leading an assault on the citadel of Burgos in Northern Spain. In 1821, James and his eldest son Charles changed their name to Lamb in honour of John Lamb, a benefactor of theirs. An Ionic temple was built on the estate together with two life-size memorials which still remain.

By 1860, the estate was owned by Sir Charles Lamb's son, Archibald, who leased the house to Thomas Brassey, a leading railway engineer of his day. After Thomas Brassey died in 1870 the lease was inherited by his son who later became Lord Brassey.

Recent history
In 1923 a fire broke out and despite efforts by firemen from Battle and Hastings taking water from nearby ponds, the fire spread rapidly and the entire building was gutted. The house was rebuilt in 1926.

Little is known about the house during the period that follows its reconstruction in 1926 up until World War II, but at the beginning of the war, it was an underground citadel. It consisted of tunnels and chambers, built by the Canadian Army and was intended as a hiding place for a secret resistance army which would have fought behind the German lines following the expected invasion of Britain. After the war, the house became a hotel.

In 1983 the hotel was bought by Ken Melsom, David Robinson and Helena Melsom  and in 2005, Duncan Bannatyne opened a health club on the estate. Bannatyne went on to buy the hotel as well in 2007.

The Beauport Park Archaeological Trust was formed in 1996. In 1999 it was the subject of a Time Team dig.
 In 2007 the baths, set in five acres, were put on the market at £300,000 by Colin Henshaw of "Wild England".  it is a Scheduled Monument at Risk and its condition was described by English Heritage as "Extensive significant problems" with "Deterioration - in need of management".

The estate currently comprises the hotel, the health club, a riding school, a caravan park, a  golf course and  of surrounding woodland.

Arnold Kirke Smith (23 April 1850 – 8 October 1927) was an English footballer who played for England as a forward in the first international match against Scotland, as well as captaining Oxford University in the 1873 FA Cup Final. Smith was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1875 and after various clerical appointments he became vicar of Boxworth where he remained until his death on 8 October 1927.

Career
Smith was born in Ecclesfield, Sheffield and was educated at Cheltenham College before going up to University College, Oxford, matriculating in 1869 and graduating B.A. in 1873. He became the captain of the university football team and was known to be a "powerful and quick attacker". He won his solitary England cap playing at inside right in England's first ever international match against Scotland on 30 November 1872, although he had previously represented Scotland in London based unofficial matches between the two nations.

In 1873, he captained the university team in the 1873 FA Cup Final against the holders, Wanderers. He started the match in goal but after conceding the first goal, he decided to play without a goalkeeper and moved into attack. Despite some "skilful" play, the students were unable to equalize before his plan "back-fired" when Charles Wollaston scored a second goal. During his career he also represented the Sheffield FA and played for the original Sheffield club.

After leaving university, Smith was ordained in 1875 and became the curate at Biggleswade for two years. He was then curate at Eaton Socon from 1877 to 1881 before moving to Somersham, Cambridgeshire, where he became vicar in 1883. After six years, he was then appointed as vicar at Boxworth where he remained until his death on 8 October 1927.

In 1998, the knitted woollen jersey that he wore in the first international match was sold at auction for £21,000.

WMCJ (1460 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Cullman, Alabama, United States.  The station is owned by Walton E. Williams III but a sale to Jimmy Dale Media was approved by the FCC in October 2008 and is, as of January 30, 2009, pending consummation.

WMCJ broadcasts a sports format, simulcasting WFMH 1340 AM Cullman.

History
This station began broadcast operations as WFMH, transmitting with 1,000 watts of daytime-only power on an assigned frequency of 1300 kHz, on March 25, 1950. The station was licensed to The Voice of Cullman and was owned in part and operated by B.C. Eddins.

In 1955, the station moved to the current 1460 kHz to accommodate a power increase to 5,000 watts, still restricted to daytime operations. In 1959, the station expanded to 24-hour broadcasting with the addition of a 500 watt nighttime signal.

After more than 46 years of continuous ownership, The Voice of Cullman applied in May 1996 to transfer the broadcast license for WFMH to Eddins Broadcasting Co., Inc., a company wholly owned by B.C. Eddins.  The deal was approved by the FCC on June 24, 1996, and the transaction was consummated on June 30, 1996.  B.C. Eddins died on August 26, 1996, at the age of 81 and control of Eddins Broadcasting passed to his heirs.

In April 2002, Eddins Broadcasting Co., Inc., contracted to sell this station to Queen of Peace Radio, Inc.  The deal was approved by the FCC on May 10, 2002, and the transaction was consummated on July 1, 2002.  The new owners had the FCC assign this station the current WMCJ call letters on September 20, 2002.

In March 2005, Queen of Peace Radio, Inc. (J. Christopher Williams, president) agreed to sell WMCJ to Williams Communications Inc. (Walton E. Williams Jr., president/director) for a reported sale price of $75,000. The deal was approved by the FCC on June 20, 2005, and the transaction was consummated on July 8, 2005. At the time of the sale, the station aired a Catholic radio format.

In May 2008, Williams Communications, Inc., applied to the FCC to transfer the license for this station to Walton E. Williams III.  The deal was approved by the FCC on July 1, 2008, and the transaction was consummated on the same day.

This change would prove short-lived as in mid-August 2008, Walton E. Williams III reached an agreement to sell WMCJ and sister station WFMH to Jimmy Dale Media LLC. The two stations sold for a reported total of $375,000. At the time of the sale, the station aired a Gospel music format.  The deal was approved by the FCC on October 6, 2008, but as of January 30, 2009, the consummation of this transaction was still pending. On December 1, 2012 WMCJ went silent. On April 1, 2013 WMCJ returned to the air simulcasting sports-formatted WFMH 1340 AM.

Moanasaurus (From Māori moana "sea" and Greek sauros "lizard"; meaning "Sea Lizard") was a genus of mosasaur from the Late Cretaceous period. Its fossil remains have been discovered in the North Island of New Zealand. Moanasaurus was a very large mosasaurine known originally from a disarticulated skull, vertebrae, ribs and flipper bones. The skull measures  in length, which shows that Moanasaurus was one of the largest in the subfamily of Mosasaurinae. Researchers argue that some Antarctic Mosasaurus remains (including a "large, fragmentary skull") may be attributed to this genus.
