Licensed to Glens Falls, New York, the station serves Warren, Washington, and northern Saratoga counties (from which the WWSC call letters are derived). It is owned by Regional Radio Group, LLC. WWSC originally signed on in 1946.

WWSC is powered at 1,000 watts by day.  It drops its power slightly to 940 watts at night to protect other stations on 1450 AM when radio waves travel further.  Programming is also heard on FM translator 93.1 W226CP.  The station brands itself around the translator's dial position, calling itself "93 WSC."

Previous talk programming
On weekdays, national syndicated programs heard on WWSC began with Hugh Hewitt, followed by Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, The Dave Ramsey Show, Lars Larson, John Batchelor, Red Eye Radio with Eric Harley and Gary McNamara and This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal.  Local talk shows included Off the Rails with Gonzo Gates on Mondays and I'm In with the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce Fridays.

WWSC featured coverage of local high school football, basketball and hockey.  WWSC's sports coverage garnered multiple New York State Broadcasters awards.  WWSC was one of the stations on the Adirondack Thunder ECHL Hockey Team Radio Network.

History
WWSC originally signed on the air on .  It was owned by Great Northern Radio with its studios at 11 South Street.  WWSC was a network affiliate of the Mutual Broadcasting System and later ABC.  At first it was powered at only 250 watts.  But by the 1950s, the daytime power was boosted to 1,000 watts, while it continued to broadcast at 250 watts at night.

In 1959, WWSC was acquired by Normandy Broadcasting.  It featured a full service middle of the road format of popular music, news and sports.  In September 1967, it added an FM companion, WWSC-FM 95.9 (now WCQL Queensbury, New York).  At first WWSC-FM simulcast the AM station but later began airing an automated Top 40 sound.

In the 1990s, as listeners increasingly turned to FM radio for music, WWSC completed its transition to a talk format.  In 2008, WWSC was acquired by the Regional Radio Group LLC.

On May 14, 2021, WWSC changed their format from talk to classic rock, branded as “93 WSC The Legend”.

Waring Brothers was an English company specialising in railway structures.

History
The company was founded by Charles Waring, William Waring and Henry Waring in 1841 in York as a civil engineering business.

By 1853 the company was working for the Central Peninsular Railway Company in Portugal.

It went on to complete numerous railway structures including three viaducts in Luxembourg (including the Passerelle) and the station (but not the roof, which was tendered separately) of St Pancras in London.

Major projects
Major projects included:
 The Dorset Central Railway, completed in 1858. Incorrect: Messrs Waring completed the line from Wimborne to Blandford St Mary's temporary station in October, 1860; they then laid the section from Blandford St Mary (including new town station) to Templecombe for the newly formed Somerset & Dorset Railway (formed 1862), completing it in August, 1863.
 The Ceylon Railway (ow known as Sri Lanka Railways), completed in 1859 (its wrong). Colombo to Ambepussa 35 miles of  Ceylon Railway was completed by Faviell and the 1st train ran on 27 December 1864.
 The Pernambuco, Recife and San Francisco Railway, completed in 1860
 The Sicily Railway, completed in 1862
 The East Indian Railway, completed in 1862
 The Bristol Port Railway, completed in 1863
 The Honduras Railway, completed in 1870
 The Central Uruguay Railway, completed in 1871
 The Central do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro, 1884
 The Minas an Rio Railway,[Cruzeiro, São Paulo, Brasil], 1884

Demise of the company
Charles Waring went into politics as Member of Parliament for Poole in 1865 after which time there were very few contracts entered into so it appears that the company was wound up in the early 1870s.

is a Japanese radio program broadcast by Nippon Cultural Broadcasting, Radio Osaka, and Tokai Radio Broadcasting which first aired in October 1994, and is produced by ASCII Media Works (formerly MediaWorks). The program airs late at night on the weekend ranging between either 1:00-1:30 AM, 1:30-2:00 AM, or 2:00-2:30 AM depending on the broadcasting channel. The program contains any news updates related to ASCII Media Works and light novels published under their light novel imprint Dengeki Bunko. Additionally, radio dramas air on the program based from light novels under Dengeki Bunko. Listeners can send in post cards to the program which may end up being read on the air, and any questions asked by listeners via the postcards are answered.

History
Dengeki Taishō first aired in October 1994 and was originally started to work in connection with MediaWorks' light novel award, the Dengeki Novel Prize, which was first held in 1994. After MediaWorks started their male-oriented light novel imprint Dengeki Bunko in June 1993, the first round of the contest was held the following year, which awarded the Gold Prize to Kyoichiro Takahata for his novel Criss Cross: Konton no Maoh. Due to this, the original title for the radio program was , but this was changed in April 1995 to , and then again in April 1996 when it was changed to the current title. While primarily being an informational program, radio dramas also air on Dengeki Taishō based from light novels under Dengeki Bunko. The show has been through a series of different hosts, each time working as a pair (except the first three months of broadcast which had a single host) and the hosts change frequently. The longest time a host continued with the show was with Taiki Matsuno between January 1999 and September 2003. As of April 2013, the host pair is Natsuki Hanae and Erika Yazawa. For the broadcast on November 4, 2006, the program's title temporarily reverted to the previous Dengeki Daisakusen and was hosted by three previous hosts—Mayumi Tanaka, Rumi Kasahara, and Taiki Matsuno—the first two of which were the hosts during the time the show was actually called Dengeki Daisakusen.

Wu Xiang (; died 1644) was a general of the Ming dynasty and the father of Wu Sangui.

Biography
He was reprimanded by the Ming court in the 1630s for failing to join the fight against Nurhaci.  The ruling forces of the short-lived Shun dynasty of late Imperial China  took over his house, and Li Zicheng executed him.  This contributed to the Wu Sangui's decision to oppose that regime, which hastened the downfall of the already crumbling Ming dynasty.

Cyphocleonus achates is a species of true weevil known as the knapweed root weevil. It is native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean and is used as an agent of biological pest control against noxious knapweeds, especially spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa). It has recently been spotted in India.

Life history
The adult weevil is dark gray and white speckled and 14 to 15 millimeters long. The female lays about 100 eggs during her 8- to 15-week adult lifespan. The eggs are deposited one by one in notches the female digs into the root crown of the knapweed. The larva emerges from the egg and tunnels into the root cortex where it feeds on the plant tissue. Sometimes a gall is produced in the feeding area. Adults feed on the leaves but it is the larva that does the most damage to the plant. Small plants can be killed by the larva's destruction of the root tissue. In their native range, most C. achates overwinter as 2nd instars, though in the introduced range, the vast majority overwinter as 1st instars.

Biocontrol in North America
It was first released as a knapweed biocontrol in the 1980s in the United States. It is established in much of the western United States and there is evidence that it reduces knapweed biomass. C. achates is thought to be responsible for a recent (2000s) observed decline in spotted knapweed, but this decline may also be attributable to a recent severe drought. The weevil prefers spotted knapweed, but it is sometimes found on diffuse knapweed. It has not been shown to attack native flora.

Cyphocleonus achates was released to the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in summer 2009.

The Iron Wall  is an essay written by Ze'ev Jabotinsky in 1923. It was originally published in Russian, as he was born in Russia as Vladimir Yevgenyevich Zhabotinsky and wrote for the Russian press.

He wrote the essay after the British Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill prohibited Zionist settlement on the east bank of the Jordan River, and formed the Zionist Revisionist party after writing it.

Jabotinsky argued that the Palestinian Arabs would not agree to a Jewish majority in Palestine, and that "Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population – behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach." The only solution to achieve peace and a Jewish state in the Land of Israel, he argued, would be for Jews to first establish a strong Jewish state, which would eventually prompt the Arabs to "drop their extremist leaders, whose watchword is ‘never!’ and pass the leadership to the moderate groups, who will approach us with a proposal that we should both agree to mutual concessions."

A week following the publication of this essay, Jabotinsky followed with "The Ethics of the Iron Wall," in which he argued that morality comes before everything else, and that Zionism is "moral and just," since it subscribes to "national self-determination" as a "sacred principle," which Arabs may also enjoy.

Impact of the essay
The moderate Zionists criticized Jabotinsky's essay for the implications of the use of military force. However, moderate Zionists did comply with the notion that the Zionist effort was a positive and just force, with Jabotinsky elaborating that for this very reason, resistance from those that attempt to stop it should be disregarded. Jabotinsky furthermore met with opposition from the Marxist influenced Zionist Labor Party, led by David Ben-Gurion. The Labor Party sought to reach statehood without military means; eventually, they recognized the use of military force in maintaining the state. Though his resolve to utilize military force to further the Zionist goals was frowned upon by both the moderate Zionists and the Zionists of the Labor Party, Jabotinsky would not let go of his conviction. His essay would go to form the fundamentals for the understanding of Revisionist Zionism. His ideas would not only work to influence the Revisionist Zionists but the Zionist movement as a whole.

Analyses

Avi Shlaim's analysis
In Avraham "Avi" Shlaim's 2000 work, "The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World," Shlaim gives a brief overview of the background and history of Ze'ev Jabotinsky. In his work, Shlaim elaborates on Jabotinsky's Zionist Revisionist ideals. In his analysis of Jabotinksky's work, Shlaim noted Jabotinsky's argument that efforts to establish a Jewish state would require the assistance of European Western powers. Shlaim's analysis of The Iron Wall finds that Jabotinsky's followers considered the ideas put forth in the essay to be the basis for Revisionist Zionism. However, Shlaim also concluded that the meaning behind the ideas devised by Jabotinsky was not fully understood, even by his followers. Shlaim stressed that Jabotinsky saw the "Iron Wall" not as an end to establishing a Jewish state, but simply as a means to end Arab hostility towards the Zionist movement. Palestinian Arabs, according to Jabotinsky, would be privy to national rights in the newly formed Jewish state. Shlaim notes that the nature of these rights is vague, though political autonomy of Arab Palestinians is suggested. Shlaim emphasizes Jabotinsky's acknowledgement of the Palestinian Arab national idenitity in his essay; and underlines Jabotinsky's belief that a military intervention is the only way to realise a Jewish state.

Hachiko Waits is a children's book, written by Lesléa Newman and illustrated by Machiyo Kodaira. It uses the true story of Hachikō the Akita dog from Japan and adds Yasuo, a young boy, to the story. It won several awards.

Plot summary

Professor Hidesaburō Ueno and his dog Hachikō follow the same schedule every day.  In April 1924, when Hachikō was six months old, he got out the gate and followed the Professor to the train station, despite the Professor's commanding him to go back home.  At the train station, the Station Master, Mr. Yoshikawa, agrees to watch Hachikō until the Professor returns.  There Yasuo, a six-year-old boy, meets Hachikō.  The dog waits until five minutes to three o'clock, when the Professor's train arrives.

This routine continues every day for a year.  However, when the train arrives in the afternoon, the Professor is not on it.  Yasuo discovers that he has suffered a heart attack and died.  Hachikō waits in the station until the last train arrives at midnight; then Yasuo, with much difficulty, takes him to his house.  However, Hachikō escapes the next morning; and at five minutes to three, he is in the station waiting for the Professor.

Yasuo and the Station Master take care of Hachikō for the next ten years, as he comes to the station every afternoon to await the Professor's arrival.  The newspaper writes an article about Hachikō, and he becomes famous throughout Japan.

On the day Hachikō dies, the sixteen-year-old Yasuo meets a famous artist, who wants to carve a statue of the devoted dog.  Once complete, the statue becomes famous as well; and by it, Yasuo meets the girl whom he marries ten years later.

Channelization is a traffic engineering concept that employs the use of secondary roads to separate certain flows of traffic from the main traffic lanes. This method came into favor in the United States in the 1950s. One of the most effective and efficient methods of controlling the traffic on a highway is the adoption of high intersection geometric design standards. Channelization is an integral part of at-grade intersections and is used to separate turning movements from through movements where this is considered advisable and hence helps reduce the intensity and frequency of loss of life and property due to crashes to a large extent. Proper channelization increases capacity, improves safety, provides maximum convenience, and instils driver confidence. Improper channelization has the opposite effect and may be worse than none at all. Over-channelization should be avoided because it could create confusion and worsen operations. Channelization of at-grade intersections is the separation or regulation of conflicting traffic movements into definite paths of travel by the use of pavement markings, raised islands, or other suitable means to facilitate the safe and orderly movement of both vehicles and pedestrians.

Giuseppe Puini (21 July 1806 – 9 August 1869) was an Italian engineer and architect who worked in the neoclassical style in Tuscany, largely at Livorno, where he was largely responsible for the piazza that provides an urbanistic setting of the Cisternone (1842) and the Church of Sant’Andrea, and for the Church of San Giuseppe.

Biography
He was born at Regello, near Florence, the son of Valentino Puini. He gained his degree of Master of Architecture at the Accademia di Belle Arti Firenze, 1828. He died in Florence, 1869, and is buried in the Protestant Cemetery, called the "English" cemetery, in Piazzale Donatello.

For Florence, he designed in 1854 the extension of the embankment along the Arno River leading downstream to the Park of the Cascine. He published the designs in Sudi e progetto del Lungarno di Firenze nel punto più interessante alle Cascine, (Florence, 1854). He designed the small tower on the Oltrarno  (left) bank at the end of the medieval walls.

His only familiar work in architecture, the church of San Giuseppe, Livorno (detail) was completed in 1839-42. The facade with its trompe-l'œil niche with a coffered barrel vault, refers to the Cisternone nearby.

Zu Dashou (; d. 1656), courtesy name Fuyu (復宇), was a Chinese military general who served on the northern border of the Ming dynasty during the Ming–Qing transition period of Chinese history. He fought against the Qing dynasty in several major engagements before ultimately surrendering to them in 1642. An alleged descendant of the Eastern Jin dynasty general Zu Ti, he was the maternal uncle of the Ming general Wu Sangui, who surrendered Shanhai Pass to Qing forces and defected to the Qing side. Zu's tomb was acquired by the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, and is considered one of the "iconic objects" of the museum.

Background
Zu Dashou was born in Ningyuan, present-day Xingcheng, Liaoning province, during the Ming dynasty. His year of birth is unknown. His courtesy name was Fuyu ().

Defense of Beijing
In November 1629, the Qing army under Hong Taiji invaded the Ming dynasty, bypassing the heavily defended Ming fortress at Ningyuan north of the Great Wall, where Hong Taiji's father Nurhaci had been defeated three years earlier at the Battle of Ningyuan. Slipping through friendly Mongol territory, the Manchus attacked to the west through Xifengkou Pass in Hebei province, aiming towards the capital at Beijing. Yuan Chonghuan, commander of the Ningyuan garrison, sent 20,000 troops under Zu Dashou to relieve Beijing. Zu crossed the Great Wall through Shanhai Pass and marched to Beijing, defeating the Manchus outside the city walls.

Recapturing Luanzhou
Although forced to retreat, Hong Taiji's forces had nevertheless captured the cities of Luanzhou, Qian'an, Zunhua, and Yongping (present-day Lulong County) during his 1629 expedition. In 1630, he left his cousin Amin in Yongping to defend the newly conquered territory. Zu Dashou embarked on a counterattack and recovered Luanzhou. In response, Amin ordered a massacre of the civilian populations of Qian'an and Yongping, plundering the cities and abandoning them to the Ming. News of the slaughter enraged Hong Taiji, who had been cultivating relations with the Han Chinese population to pacify captured cities and encourage defection by Ming officers. He had Amin arrested and imprisoned, using the opportunity to appropriate Amin's Bordered Blue Banner army by giving it to Amin's younger brother Jirgalang, who was close to Hong Taiji.

Siege of Dalinghe

In 1631, Zu Dashou was serving as commander of the Jinzhou garrison. He was leading his troops on an inspection of Dalinghe (present-day Linghai city) when Hong Taiji, commanding a force of 20,000 Manchu, Mongol, and Han Chinese troops, arrived to attack the city on September 1. At Dalinghe, Zu commanded an army of 14,000 men, half infantry and half cavalry, many of whom were veterans of his previous battles with Manchu forces. The presence of Zu's men was made known to Hong Taiji when his patrols captured a Ming resident outside the city. Instead of attacking the city directly, the Manchu forces prepared for a long siege, building a moat around the city, and guarding the roads with newly formed artillery units armed with Portuguese cannons under the command of the Chinese general Tong Yangxing.

The Manchu forces focused their efforts on capturing the castles surrounding Dalinghe, sending messengers to each inviting their surrender. They also sent repeated appeals to Zu himself requesting his submission. Meanwhile, several Ming relief forces were defeated by the Manchus outside the city. In October, a larger Ming army of 40,000 men arrived near Jinzhou under the command of Zu's brother-in-law, Wu Xiang. Hong Taiji mobilized his troops and engaged in a field battle with the Ming forces, emerging victorious. On October 13, Hong Taiji wrote Zu Dashou again to solicit his surrender, but received no response. On the 14th, Hong Taiji lured Zu's men to sally forth in an attempt to recapture one of the forts outside the city. The failure of Zu's attack led him to withdraw behind the walls, never attacking again for the duration of the siege. On October 19, another Ming army arrived under the command of Zhang Chun. Making use of Tong Yangxing's gunners, Hong Taiji broke the Ming lines. The Manchus defeated Zhang's army, taking heavy casualties in the process. Zhang Chun was captured and defected to the Manchu side.

First surrender
On November 5, Yuzizhang, the largest of the forts surrounding Dalinghe, surrendered after being pounded for several days by the "red barbarian" Portuguese cannons of Tong Yangxing. The remaining forts soon surrendered one by one. By mid-November, supplies were low in the Manchu camp, but the situation was far worse inside the walls of Dalinghe, where the population had resorted to cannibalism. Messages were exchanged between the two armies regarding the possibility of surrender. Zu Dashou's adopted son Zu Kefa was sent to the Manchu camp. When asked why the Ming continued to pointlessly defend a now-empty city, Zu Kefa responded that the officers all remembered what had happened at Yongping, where Amin had slaughtered the population the previous year.

After more messages were exchanged, Zu stated his willingness to surrender on the condition that the khan immediately send a force to attack Jinzhou, where Zu's family and those of many of his officers lived. This would enable the soldiers to be reunited with their kin. Knowing that his army was in no condition to mount another major attack, Hong Taiji agreed to a plan in which Zu himself would return to Jinzhou, of which he was still the commanding officer, under the pretense of having escaped from Dalinghe. After entering the city, he would turn it over to the khan. With the plan decided, Zu's forces finally surrendered Dalinghe on November 21.

Escape to Jinzhou
Shortly after surrendering to Hong Taiji, Zu was dispatched to Jinzhou along with 26 retainers to execute his plan to capture the city. On November 26, he sent a letter from Jinzhou explaining that he needed more time to plan the coup. Hong Taiji's reply to this letter went unanswered. Despite leaving his sons and nephews in the care of the khan, Zu Dashou had returned to the Ming to once again command the Jinzhou garrison. In the following years, his sons would become important officers of the Manchu Qing military. Zu Zerun joined the Plain Yellow Banner as a general, while Zu Kefa become a leading architect of the conquest of the Ming.

Second surrender

In 1636, Hong Taiji declared himself Emperor Taizong of the Qing dynasty. After subjugating Korea and Inner Mongolia, he turned his sights upon Jinzhou once again. The Qing attacked Jinzhou in 1639 and again in 1640. Both times they were defeated by Zu Dashou. In 1641, Taizong sent an army to besiege Jinzhou and Songshan. The commander of Songshan was Hong Chengchou, commander-in-chief of frontier defenses. Songshan was captured on March 18, 1642, along with several brothers of Zu Dashou: Zu Dale, Zu Daming, and Zu Dacheng. Zu Dale was Zu Dashou's younger brother, and, along with Dashou's sons, were sent to speak with Zu Dashou during the siege of Jinzhou to convince him to surrender, which he did on April 8, 1642, after a long siege in which, just as at Dalinghe previously, his troops had resorted to cannibalism. Hong Taiji, now Emperor Taizong, chided Zu for his treachery after his first surrender at Dalinghe. Nevertheless, Zu was forgiven and permitted to serve the Qing alongside the other members of his clan, many of whom had already served with distinction.

Service under the Qing
After surrendering to the Qing, Zu wrote several letters to the commander of Ningyuan, his nephew Wu Sangui, to solicit his defection to the Qing. When the rebels of Li Zicheng captured Beijing in 1644, prompting the suicide of Zhu Youjian (the Chongzhen Emperor), Wu allied with the Qing dynasty. He opened the gates of Shanhai Pass to the Qing army under Dorgon in order to mount a joint campaign to oust the rebels from the capital. With this act, the Qing captured Beijing. Although the war between Ming and Qing would last several decades longer, the Ming would never recover from this loss, and the Qing would ultimately destroy the Ming.

Zu Dashou died in Beijing in 1656. He was buried with full honors as a member of the Plain Yellow Banner.

Tomb

In 1921, Charles Trick Currelly, the archaeological director of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, purchased a set of Chinese artifacts from the fur trader George Crofts. Among the artifacts, the most spectacular was the so-called "Ming Tomb", which came from a village north of Beijing. It was rumoured to be the tomb of Zu Dashou, but the rumour was not confirmed until 90 years later, when researchers concluded that the tomb belonged to Zu Dashou and his three wives. The tomb is on the museum's list of "iconic objects".

In 2013, 25 fragments of Zu Dashou's tombstone were found in his hometown Xingcheng. The largest fragment weighs more than . Altogether the fragments comprise the upper half of his tombstone, inscribed with 81 Chinese characters. The tombstone was originally at least  tall. His descendants still live in the area.

HMNZS Breeze (T02) was a coastal cargo boat which was requisitioned by the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) and converted into a minesweeper.

Breeze was owned by the Canterbury Steam Shipping Company. She was taken up on 3 March 1942, under protest, to replace the  which had sunk in a minefield. She was a sister ship to .

Operational history
Breeze joined the 25th Minesweeping Flotilla at Tulagi in April 1943. On her arrival she was also formed, with  and her sister ship , into the 9th Auxiliary Minesweeping group within the flotilla. They carried out night-time patrol and escort duties under COMSOPAC control. The Japanese were well north by this time, but occasionally made sudden attacks into American strongholds around Guadalcanal.

In July 1943, prior to being fitted with radar, Breeze collided with  off Guadalcanal while patrolling in a monsoon rainstorm. Grazing port to port, she had a boat wrecked.

During convoy escort duty in Ironbottom Sound she was attacked, but not damaged, by dive-bombers.

From time to time the flotilla boats would return to Auckland for refits, usually escorting freighters bound the same way.

By the middle of 1944 the owners were demanding the return of Breeze and her twin Gale. COMSOPAC released her on 10 November 1944.

Fate
She was sold to the Philippines in 1964 and renamed Balabac in 1966.

Angliers () is a commune in the Charente-Maritime department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of south-western France.

The inhabitants of the commune are known as Anglésiens or Anglésiennes.

Geography

Angliers is located some 15 km north-east of La Rochelle and 15 km south by south-east of Marans. National highway N11 (E601) passes through the north of the commune and there is an exit at the north-eastern tip of the commune to the D109 road which runs south through the commune to Vérines. Access to the village is by a country road off the D109. There is also the D203E1 road running from the hamlet of Saint-Gilles west to Loiré. Apart from the village, there are also the hamlets of Le Grand Peu, Saint-Gilles, and Les Loges. The commune is entirely farmland.

Angliers commune is divided into two clearly distinct parts:
To the west, the commune is a part of the plain of Aunis and is characterized by rolling limestone hills.
To the east is a marsh which is part of the Marais Poitevin.

The swamp is drained by the waters of the Curé river which is a small coastal river and serves as the eastern boundary of the commune. This river has its source in the commune of Saint-Georges-du-Bois and becomes a Canal before emptying into the Bay of Aiguillon. It is called the Canal du Curé at Angliers. Formerly, the eastern part of Angliers was always flooded along the road north of the commune that joins the village of Le Grand Peu to Nuaillé-d'Aunis. Angliers is at the southern limit of the Marais Poitevin.

Airports and aerodromes
La Rochelle – Île de Ré Airport 18.9 km
Rochefort - Saint-Agnant Airport 36.1 km
Niort 43.9 km

History
The history of Angliers before Gallo-Roman times has been lost, as with many neighbouring communes. However, a few important remains have been found. Sarcophagi found in the 19th century at Gillebergère are not necessarily from those remote times.
Ancient relics are rare but the door of the church dates from 1100/1130. It once came under the Abbey of Nieul-sur-l'Autise. This church has undergone many changes throughout its history mainly because of the Hundred Years War and the Wars of Religion. The fighting that took place around the castles of Benon, Nuaillé-d'Aunis, and Surgères suggest many passages by the Port Bertrand through the east of Angliers to the town of La Rochelle.

Ixtcateopan de Cuauhtémoc is a municipality in the north of the Mexican state of Guerrero.  It is located in the parallel 18°25’ of north latitude and between the meridians 99°42’ and 99°51’ of west longitude. The distance between Ixcateopan and Chilpancingo, the capital of the state of Guerrero, is 180 km.

The seat is Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc.

Ixcateopan has a territorial extension of 310.7 square kilometers.  According to the 2000 INEGI census Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc has a population of 2296.

The name “Ixcateopan” is composed by the word “ixcatl” which means cotton, and “teopantli” which means temple, and the complete name means “In the temple of cotton".

The main activities of the town are carpentry, farming and livestock raising. It claims to be the final resting place of Aztec huey tlatoani Cuauhtémoc, which is an elaborate hoax.

The municipality
The municipality of Ixcateopan is part of the northern region of Guerrero state. It borders the municipalities of Taxco, Pedro Ascencio Alquisiras and Teloloapan. As much of its 310.7km2 territory is on the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, it consists of very rugged terrain. This has made the municipality and its seat relatively isolated, with the first major road reaching it in the 1940s. Higher elevations here are covered in pine and cedar (red and white) and include peaks such as the Texal Grande, Tecampanero, La Mesas and Ancón Mountains, which range between 1,830 and 2,150 meters above sea level. Only 15% of the municipality is flat land, and this is mostly small mesas scattered in the south and north east of the municipality. The municipality is in the Balsas River Basin but only streams such as the Atenanguillo, San Pedro Atengo, Salitre flow year-round. There is one major fresh-water spring at the municipal seat but the rest of the municipality depends on groundwater. The climate is warm and fairly moist, with average temperatures ranging between 18 and 22 C in the warmer months and between 17 and 22C in the colder ones. Most of the municipality's rain falls between June and September.

Unlike many other municipalities in Mexico, the population of Ixcateopan is falling. From 1960 to 2005, the population has fallen from over 8,000 to 6,100. Most of the population is scattered among 70 “localidades” of between 2 and 1000, with most between 70 and 200 people.

About 32% of the municipalities population is dedicated to agriculture of which the production of beans stand out, but livestock such as pigs, sheep, goats and horses are raised here as well. Another 38% is involved in mining and manufacturing with the primary commodities being marble and hand-crafted furniture.

Larinus minutus is a species of true weevil known as the lesser knapweed flower weevil. It is used as an agent of biological pest control against noxious knapweeds, especially diffuse knapweed (Centaurea diffusa) and spotted knapweed.

The adult weevil is dark mottled brown with a long snout. It is  long in total. It is active throughout the summer with a 14-week maximum adult lifespan. During this time the female lays up to 130 eggs, depositing them in the knapweed flower head. The larva emerges and burrows into the flower head where it feeds on the developing seeds. The larva damages the plant by reducing seed production (all of the seeds of diffuse knapweed and 25-100% of spotted knapweed) and the adult does damage by defoliating the plant as it feeds on the leaves prior to flowering. After flowering, adult weevils switch to feeding on flowers.

In spotted and diffuse knapweed, L. minutus directly consumes another biological control agent released to control the species, the gall-forming flies Urophora affinis Frfld and Urophora quadrifasciata Meigen (Diptera: Tephrididae)

This weevil is native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. It was first released as a knapweed biocontrol in the United States in 1991 from Greece. It is now established in knapweed populations throughout the western United States, especially in warm, dry areas. It feeds on knapweeds, preferring diffuse knapweed over others, and it has not been shown to attack native flora. This weevil has been shown to reduce diffuse knapweed density at several sites. It has been less successful in controlling spotted knapweed.

Johannes Heggland (29 June 1919 – 24 January 2008) was a Norwegian novelist, short story and children's literature writer, playwright, and elected official with  the Centre Party. He is most commonly associated with two of his historic plays Mostraspelet and Håkonarspelet – Kongen med gullhjelmen.

Biography
Johannes Andreas Martin Heggland was born at Tysnes in Hordaland, Norway. His parents, Vermund Heggland (1872–1945) and Elisabeth Marie Magdalene Nerhus (1877–1956), were farmers. He grew up as the youngest of 11 children in a family with a vivid oral tradition.

He participated in local politics for nearly 30 years. Heggland was mayor in Tysnes from 1956 to 1959 and 1968 to 1971, and served as a deputy representative to the Parliament of Norway during the term 1958–1961. He was chairman of Norwegian Authors' Union from 1982 to 1985 and member of the Nordic Council's literary prize committee from 1983 to 1986. He was also a member of the Norwegian Language Council and board member for Riksteatret.

Heggland made his literary debut in 1941 with Folk under fjell, and later wrote more than sixty books. Nearly half of his books are  based on extensive historical studies, from the Bronze Age to the present time, with emphasis on the time around the Black Death. His prose is in the broad epic tradition with a Sunnhordland dialect and great insight into Norwegian rural society.  Heggland stood outside modernism, social realism and metaphysical literature. He insisted all along on epic realism and traditionalism.

Mostraspelet is  a play in three acts with music by Kjell Habbestad. It had its world premiere in 1984. Set on the island of Moster in Sunnhordland during the years 995, 997 and 1024, the play  deals with the introduction of Christianity in Norway by King Olaf Tryggvason.  Mostraspelet is performed annually at the open-air theatre in Bømlo.

Håkonarspelet – Kongen med gullhjelmen is a series of historic plays he wrote based upon the reign of King Haakon I of Norway. The plays are performed annual as part of the Håkonarspelet summer festival. They have been performed since 1997 at the Royal Norwegian Navy base at Haakonsvern and at Fitjar, Seim and Eivindvik.

Johannes Heggland received a number of literary awards for during his career, including the Nynorsk Literature Prize in 1988, Dobloug Prize in 1990 and Emmausprisen in 2001. He was proclaimed a Knight, First Class of the Order of St. Olav for his cultural work.

The Hobartville Stakes is an Australian Turf Club Group 2 Thoroughbred horse race, for three-year-olds at set weights, over a distance of 1400 metres. It is held at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse in Sydney, Australia in the early autumn.  Prize money is $400,000.

History
Originally an early spring event, it was transferred to the autumn in 1978, along with the three-year-old "triple crown", Canterbury Guineas, Rosehill Guineas and Australian Derby. The Canterbury Guineas was subsequently replaced by the Randwick Guineas in 2006, as the first leg of the "triple crown". The Hobartville Stakes is named after one of the most historic stud farms in New South Wales.

Edward Pastilong (born 1943) is a former American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator. He served as the athletic director at West Virginia University from 1989 to 2010.

Early life
Pastilong was born in Moundsville, West Virginia. He played football as a quarterback at West Virginia University from 1963 to 1965. In those three seasons, Pastilong threw for 728 yards, six touchdowns, and eight interceptions. In 1966, Pastilong received his bachelor's degree from WVU West Virginia physical education and earned a master's degree soon after.

Pastilong then moved on to coach football at Scott High in Madison, West Virginia and then at Salem College from 1970 to 1974. During his football tenure at Salem, his team won more games than any other West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference team during that period. He was also the school's dean of health and physical education from 1972 to 1975.

West Virginia University

1976–1987
In 1976, Pastilong joined the university as a football recruiting coordinator, and in 1978 he became the scholarship officer.

In 1979, Pastilong was named the assistant athletic director at West Virginia University, his alma mater. Pastilong was important in the building of Mountaineer Field and the maintenance of the WVU Coliseum. Pastilong was also key in the arrival of new head coach, Don Nehlen, from Michigan.

1987–2010
In 1987, Pastilong was promoted to associate athletic director. West Virginia gained a full membership in the Big East in 1995.

During his tenure at West Virginia, Pastilong has overseen the construction of an indoor practice facility for football, stadium luxury boxes, a gymnastics performance center, new soccer fields, an outdoor track surface, lights for the baseball stadium, and new tennis courts. An athletic scholarship endowment fund was established in 1991, and has grown to over 125 endowed scholarships.

Pastilong also established the Athletic Director's Academic Honor Roll for WVU, which recognized the student-athletes who succeed in the classroom as well as the playing field. Academic student support centers were constructed at the Milan Puskar Center and the WVU Coliseum. The centers were complete with study rooms, computer terminals, and even tutors. A program was even established to help athletes with "college life" and life after college. An educational consortium was also established to help former athletes return to school to finish their degrees as well.

Pastilong was also key in the creation of the WVU Sports Hall of Fame and the Red Brown Cup and Fred Schaus Captain's Award to honor the student-athlete of the year.

Pastilong oversaw 17 varsity sports programs, over 500 student-athletes, and an annual budget that exceeds $25 million.

After Don Nehlen retired followed the 2000 football season, former Glenville State College head coach Rich Rodriguez took over the head coaching position in 2001. Rodriguez eventually led the Mountaineers football team to three-consecutive 10-win seasons (unmatched in school history), the highest poll positions in school history (#2 in the BCS poll, #1 in the Coaches' poll), the first consecutive Top 10 finishes in school history, and the school's first ever BCS bowl victory.

Rodriguez, however, left West Virginia to take over the head coaching position at the University of Michigan on December 16, 2007. Controversy arose over Rodriguez' $4 million buyout, a report of Rodriguez shredding football documents before his departure, and reports that Rodriguez called recruits and told of his departure to them before the team and university. However, interim head coach and former quarterbacks coach, Bill Stewart, led the Mountaineers to a 48–28 upset over the University of Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. Stewart was then named the Mountaineer's 32nd football head coach.

However, on February 21, 2008, Pastilong announced he would be retiring in 2010. He will stay with the school until 2012. The West Virginia University athletic program held the honor of being the only school in the nation in 2007 to win a BCS game, an NCAA men's basketball tournament game, and an NCAA women's basketball tournament game.
