Hurricane Emilia was, at the time, the strongest tropical cyclone on record in the Central Pacific Ocean, and the second of such to be classified as a Category 5 hurricane – the highest rating on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. However, hurricanes Gilma later that year, Ioke in 2006, and hurricanes Lane and Walaka in 2018 later reached lower barometric pressures in the Central Pacific. In addition, Emilia was the first Category 5 Pacific hurricane since Hurricane Ava in 1973. The fifth named storm and the first of three Category 5 hurricanes of the 1994 hurricane season, Emilia developed from an area of low pressure southeast of Hawaii on July 16. Tracking westward, the initial tropical depression intensified into a tropical storm several hours after tropical cyclogenesis. Subsequently, Emilia entered the Central Pacific Ocean and moved into the area of responsibility of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC).

After reaching hurricane intensity the following day, the tropical cyclone began to rapidly intensify, and late on July 19, Emilia reached its record peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of  and a minimum barometric pressure of , rating it as a Category 5 hurricane. After slight oscillations in strength, an upper-level trough forced the intense hurricane northwest on July 21, and Emilia began to weaken thereafter. The tropical cyclone encountered an area of vertical wind shear and cool sea surface temperatures, which further weakened the system. The following day, Emilia made its closest approach to the Big Island of Hawaii, but subsequently weakened to below hurricane intensity. This weakening trend continued, and the tropical cyclone fully dissipated on July 25. Though the hurricane did not make landfall, Emilia brought strong surf to the islands of Hawaii and caused gusty winds, which resulted in some property damage. Precipitation was also reported, but remained under moderate levels.

Meteorological history

On June 29, a weak tropical wave exited the west African coast and traversed the Atlantic, showing no signs of organization or convective activity. Moving within the Intertropical Convergence Zone, the tropical disturbance remained inactive until July 14, when it developed into an area of low pressure roughly  east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands. A low-level circulation became evident, and the system was designated as a tropical depression on July 16. Within 12 hours, satellite imagery suggested that the system had intensified into Tropical Storm Emilia with  sustained winds. Emilia steadily intensified into a minimal hurricane by the next morning, as it moved west-northwest. At 18:00 UTC, Emilia was upgraded to Category 2 status as it crossed 140°W and entered the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's (CPHC) area of responsibility, which noted that Emilia was "well developed." Emilia then proceeded to rapidly intensify, with maximum sustained winds increasing from  over the next 48 hours. At Emilia's peak strength, an Air Force reconnaissance aircraft measured a minimum central pressure of , the lowest pressure ever recorded in a Central Pacific hurricane at that time.

On July 20, Emilia briefly weakened into a Category 4 hurricane, but it was re-upgraded to Category 5 status by the CPHC 12 hours later during the day. Subsequently, Emilia began to weaken for the final time. An upper-level trough in the westerlies caused the cyclone to turn northwest on July 21. Emilia moved over progressively cooler waters, and vertical wind shear from the westerlies negatively impacted the hurricane. The central pressure steadily rose to , and Emilia diminished into a marginal Category 3 hurricane. On July 22, Emilia continued to weaken, and it passed within  of the Big Island. It was the closest approach to the islands. Later, Emilia's peak winds dropped to . Emilia gradually turned west-northwest, and the circulation moved with the trade winds. Emilia weakened into a tropical depression on July 24, and a remnant swirl of stratocumulus clouds was noted. The system dissipated on the same day.

Preparations
Initially, forecasts significantly underestimated the intensification of Emilia, which was one of three tropical cyclones to attain Category 5 status in the central Pacific during the season. On July 16, a 72-hour forecast misjudged the strengthening of Emilia by 41 m/s (92 mph). Later, winds at 72 hours were 31 m/s (69 mph) too high when the cyclone began to weaken. Tropical cyclone forecast models consistently predicted Emilia to remain south of the Hawaiian Islands because of the upper troughs' climatologically weak nature during the summer. This led to high confidence in the forecasts, resulting in a lack of watches or warnings. Nonetheless, a high surf advisory was issued for the south and east coasts of all islands.

Impact and records

Despite the storm's offshore nature, swells of  were reported near the Puna and Ka‘ū coasts. Waikiki Beach in Honolulu reported a  high surf. Surf was lower along the Kona and Kohala coasts. Winds were gusty, causing a few trees to be blown over and branches to be broken. Some minor roof damage was caused by the winds. International observatories and the Keck Telescope on the top of Mauna Kea were forced to close their domes due to the high winds. Rainfall ranged from light to moderate. The storm passed near two National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather buoys during its passage through the state. All in all, Hurricane Emilia had mostly minor effects in the Hawaiian Islands.

Emilia is one of the most intense tropical cyclones on record in the Eastern Pacific, with a minimum pressure of 926 mbar (hPa; 27.34 inHg). In the CPHC warning zone, only Gilma, Ioke of 2006, and hurricanes Lane and Walaka of 2018 attained deeper pressures. Emilia was also a Category 5 hurricane for 18 hours, the most ever at the time in the Central Pacific. That record was broken later in the season by Hurricane John.

The storm was the subject of a disagreement between the Central Pacific Hurricane Center and the National Hurricane Center. Specifically, they debated Emilia's peak strength in relation to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale (SSHWS). The CPHC reported that Emilia's maximum winds peaked at , making it a Category 5 hurricane. However, the NHC considered Emilia to be a high-end Category 4 with maximum winds of , in both its "best track" and its preliminary report. During 2008, the NHC upgraded its "best track" to make Emilia a Category 5, although there continues to be a discrepancy in Emilia's duration at Category 5 intensity. The CPHC's data deems Emilia as having regained Category 5 status at 18:00 UTC July 20 and maintaining it for 12 hours, while the NHC's data places Emilia as having maintained Category 4-strength winds of  during this period.

Pound (later Flywheel) was an American rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York.

History
Four of the members of Pound were in a New York glam metal band in the early 1990s. Later in the decade, they went on to be signed with EMI Music Publishing working closely with then EMI V.P. Evan Lamberg. Shortly after recording what was to be their first self-titled release they parted ways with original singer Corey Ray DiGiovanni and changed stylistically. In 1999, they signed with Island Records and released their debut album, Same Old Life, produced by Tom Lord-Alge. The album's lead single, "Upside Down", which was co-written by original lead singer Corey Ray DiGiovanni, was a rock radio hit in America, reaching No. 16 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart that year. The group left Island in 2000 and reconstituted itself as Flywheel; its first album under the new name was released in 2003. A follow-up release, also self-titled, appeared in 2005.

Toghan-Shah Abu Bakr (d. 1185 or 1186) was the amir of Nishapur from 1174 until his death.

Biography

Toghan-Shah was the son of Mu'ayyid al-Din Ai-Aba and succeeded him in 1174 when the latter was captured and executed while fighting in Khwarezm. Trouble for him appeared with the arrival in Khurasan of the exiled Khwarezmshah Sultan Shah. With a contingent of Qara Khitai troops, Sultan Shah established a power base in Khurasan and soon turned on Toghan-Shah. The latter was incapable of withstanding Sultan Shah's attacks, and as a result he lost Tus to him in 1181.

For the rest of Toghan-Shah's reign he continued to suffer from Sultan Shah's raids. Attempts to enlist support against him from Tekish, the current Khwarezmshah, or from the Ghurids, who had given him a princess in marriage, were unsuccessful. In 1185 or 1186 he died and left his realm to his son, Sanjar-Shah.

William Mercer (born 22 May 1969 in Liverpool, England) is an English former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He was most recently the goalkeeping coach at Burnley. He is currently with Everton on a temporary basis.

Playing career
Mercer was born at Cantril Farm in 1969 and joined local club Liverpool as a trainee and turned professional at the age of 18. He stayed at Liverpool for another 18 months before being released and signing for Rotherham United on 16 February 1989. On 15 April 1989, Mercer was in attendance at Hillsborough for the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, where 97 Liverpool fans died in what became known as the Hillsborough disaster. Mercer was in the upper tier of the Leppings Lane end, above where the fatal crush occurred.

Mercer was able to break through in to the first team at Millmoor and over the next five and a half years he made 138 appearances for the Millers in all competitions. On 12 October 1994 Mercer was signed by local rivals Sheffield United; he went on to spend just over a year at Bramall Lane. However, he found playing time limited for the Blades, and loan spells at Nottingham Forest and Chesterfield followed.

Mercer made such an impression during his loan spell at Chesterfield that the club immediately placed a £100,000 bid for the player following the expiration of his loan. Mercer made the switch to Saltergate permanent on 12 December 1995. Over the next four seasons he established himself as first choice between the posts at Chesterfield and went on to make 164 appearances for the club in all competitions. This included a run to the 1997 FA Cup semi-final, with Mercer earning a Man of the Match award for his performance in the sixth round match against Wrexham and then playing in their thrilling 3–3 draw with Middlesbrough in the semi-final at Old Trafford. The replay took place at Hillsborough, which was the first time he had returned to the stadium since being present at the Hillsborough disaster eight years earlier. Chesterfield lost this game and their dreams of becoming the first team to reach an FA Cup final from the third tier of the English league were over.

By the 1999–2000 season Mercer had found himself down the pecking order at Saltergate, and on 26 October 1999 Second Division rivals Bristol City signed Mercer for £300,000. In his first season there, Mercer made 32 appearances in all competitions, but again found himself as backup, this time to Steve Phillips. Mercer would not play another game for the Robins, but remained on their books until he retired from professional football on 15 January 2003.

Coaching career
Following his retirement, Mercer remained at Bristol City as a goalkeeping coach. He impressed during his time coaching at Ashton Gate and was subsequently brought to Hillsborough in the summer of 2004 by Chris Turner shortly before his sacking as Sheffield Wednesday manager.

Following the sacking of Paul Sturrock on 19 October 2006 Mercer acted as caretaker assistant manager to Sean McAuley before the arrival of Brian Laws and Russ Wilcox on 6 November 2006.

Following Brian Laws' appointment as manager of Premier League side Burnley in January 2010, Mercer joined the club as goalkeeping coach. He remained at the club until 15 April 2022, when he was sacked along with manager Sean Dyche, assistant manager Ian Woan and first-team coach Steve Stone.

On 30 September 2022, Billy was appointed temporary goalkeeper coach of Rotherham United, after the departure of Andy Warrington. He has openly admitted that the role is purely to help the club out and stated "I am going to be here for as long as I’m wanted. Obviously, I have to be respectful to my old manager Sean Dyche, who I’ve worked under for many years, but for the time being I’m happy to be involved".

On 10 July 2023, Billy was signed to a short term deal with Everton to fill-in for goalkeeping coach Alan Kelly who was sidelined due to knee surgery.

Grace Church in Newark (Episcopal) is an active and historic Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Newark. It is located on Newark, New Jersey's Broad Street where it has stood since 1837. Grace is a traditional church that worships in the Catholic tradition. Grace is notable for its architecture, music, and as the birthplace of the tune "America the Beautiful".

History
Grace Church was founded on Ascension Day in 1837 at the behest of Bishop George Washington Doane. As part of what is today called the Oxford Movement, Grace's founders emphasized the sacramental worship and succession of bishops of the Episcopal Church as their direct link to Christ, the Apostolic community and its Eucharistic worship –a sister to the Roman Catholic Church. A daughter parish of Trinity Church, Bishop Doane explicitly founded the church in the growing city to be the standard bearer for Anglo-Catholicism in the diocese.

The church building, designed by Richard Upjohn, who was also the architect of Trinity Church, New York, was consecrated on October 5, 1848. It is widely esteemed as an outstanding example of Gothic Revival architecture in the United States, and was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architecture in 1987. The church was built on the site of the old Essex County Courthouse and Jail which burnt down on August 15, 1835. The massive, single bell in the tower was an early replacement  for one purchased and installed before the consecration in 1848; the original bell produced a horrible sound, drawing complaints from parishioners and local citizens, and was replaced with a "more agreeable toned bell" purchased by Jermiah C. Garthwaite, one of the 1837 founding members of the church. Paid for by an Episcopalian textile manufacture in Newark, the bell has been rung for many solemn occasions, including to support the Federal soldiers defending Fort Sumter in 1861.

The tune for "America the Beautiful," called "Materna," was written here by the parish organist Samuel A. Ward in 1882.

Today
Grace remains widely known for its high church, sacramental liturgy, or order of service, at the center of which, in the tradition of the Church as handed down from the Apostles, is the Eucharist. The Eucharist, otherwise known as Holy Communion or the Mass, is Grace's form of weekly worship on Sundays. Grace teaches the Catholic faith, holding that Christians gain access to the Mystical Body of Christ through the sacramental worship of the community and are aided by the sequential liturgy, incense, and Eucharistic sacrifice to an experience of heaven. Incense, lights, and ceremonial vestments are used, which render the liturgy intelligible to all the senses, and the contemporary-language rite from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer (Rite II) is used. Much of the congregation actively participates in the service.

Grace does hold High Mass on occasion, complete with liturgy sung in Latin by the ordained clergy, as it did to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January 2020, complete with special music performed by a collective of choirs from Grace Church and other nearby areas in the diocese.

The diverse congregation includes people from Africa and the Caribbean as well as Europeans, Caucasian Americans, and African Americans. Its members are young and old, married and single, gay and straight. The parish is committed to Catholic faith and practice in The Episcopal Church, but is receptive to new insights, including the ordination of women and affirmation of same-sex relationship.

The Rev. Dr. J. Brent Bates became the parish's seventeenth rector in March 2011.

Music

Music plays an important role in worship, and Grace has always maintained a strong choral tradition in its adult and children's choir. Both choirs perform mass settings throughout the year, and weekly sing the Gregorian Chant mass propers from the early, medieval and renaissance tradition. Grace holds choir concerts and organ recitals on the 48-stop tracker instrument built by Casavant Frères in 1990. The Grace Church Music Society, organized in 2008, each year sponsors a series of recitals and concerts. Daniel Romero is the current Director of Music. He was preceded by Tyrone Whiting, James M. Hopkins,  Joseph Arndt, and James McGregor, who held the position for forty-eight years.

Masses and services
Masses are offered on Sundays at 8:00am and 10:30am (High Mass) with Sunday School, and on many weekdays at 12:10pm. Additional family and youth activities are held weekly and forms of worship like Stations of the Cross and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament are held during Lent.

La Tía Tula ( Aunt Tula) is a 1964 film Spanish film directed by Miguel Picazo. The film is based on the Miguel de Unamuno novella of the same title. Highly acclaimed, the film is widely considered a classic of Spanish cinema. The film was selected as the Spanish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 38th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.

Shooting locations included Brihuega,  and Guadalajara.

Plot
Tula, a 31-year-old unmarried woman, whose sister has just died, decides to bring her brother-in-law Ramiro, a bank employee, and his two children into her home. As she takes over the management of their lives, she gradually usurps the privileges of her brother-in-law and his children. She acts as a wife mother figure, but does not accept the sexual commitments or maternal responsibilities of her new role.

Ramiro is attracted to Tula as she dotes on his children, but she spurns his affections. She is also critical of his interest in other women. As Ramiro's sexual frustration grows, he attempts to rape Tula. Tula's priest advises her to marry Ramiro. Tula insists on maintaining a platonic relationship as she is used to being her own mistress, but rather than expel them  from her house decides to take them to her village and with the presence of more relatives redirect Ramiro's feelings to the memory of her dead sister.  Ramiro rapes Tula's nubile teenage cousin Juanita at the first opportunity but the rest of the family are unaware until months later it is evident Juanita is pregnant. Ramiro is forced to marry her, taking his children and new wife to a life out of the provinces and into the city.

The closing scene shows Tula waving goodbye to the ménage as the train departs, resigned to her spinster status.

KKSU was an AM radio station in Manhattan, Kansas, that broadcast from 1924 to 2002. The station was owned by Kansas State University (KSU) and operated by K-State Research and Extension, with studios and transmitter on KSU's campus in Manhattan. At the time it ended operations, it was one-half of one of the last shared-time frequencies in the United States.

For decades KKSU had provided a "K-State Radio Network" service, which mailed programs and features to radio stations across the nation. After KKSU ceased broadcasting, former staff continued to operate the network service, while also starting the construction of a satellite uplink for distribution to member stations. The site was licensed in July 2003, and a couple of months later the daily program Agriculture Today began to be delivered. The K-State Radio Network continues to produce and distribute agricultural news, family and public affairs programming to radio stations and networks across the Midwest.

History

Earlier college operations by 9YV and WTG
Following a limited amount of radio—then commonly known as "wireless telegraphy"—research that started in 1901, the Physics Department obtained a "Technical and Training School" license for station 9YV. The department installed an aerial that stretched from a tower atop Denison Hall to one erected about 100 yards (90 m) northward, and began daily broadcasts of the weather forecasts. These were in the dots-and-dashes of Morse code which were received as far as Wichita, Winfield, and Bennington, Kansas. This was believed to have been the first radio broadcasts in the United States of weather reports on a fixed schedule.

With the entry of the United States into World War I, most civilian stations, including 9YV, were ordered dismantled, although laboratory work and army signal corps training at the college continued. After the end of the war, civilian stations were again permitted, and 9YV was relicensed, and resumed its broadcasts of daily weather broadcasts. In March 1920, multiple Kansas newspapers printed instructions for receiving the daily (except Sunday) weather reports by 9YV on a wavelength of 375 meters (800 kHz), which were sent beginning at 9:55 a.m., then repeated at decreasing speeds of Morse code.

In the fall of 1921 Professor Eric R. Lyon became responsible for 9YV's operations. Effective December 1, 1921, the Department of Commerce, which regulated radio at this time, adopted regulations requiring that stations broadcasting to the general public had to have a Limited Commercial license. Two wavelengths were designated for use by broadcasting stations: 360 meters (833 kHz) for "entertainment" programs, and 485 meters (619 kHz) for "market and weather" reports.

The college applied for a broadcasting station license under the new regulations, which was issued on April 6, 1922 to the Kansas State Agricultural College, for operation on the 485 meter "market and weather" wavelength. The call sign of WTG was randomly assigned from a list of available call letters. (Most later stations west of the Mississippi River received call letters beginning with "K". However, WTG was licensed before the government changed the dividing line between W and K call signs. Prior to the January 1923 establishment of the Mississippi River as the boundary, call letters beginning with "W" were generally assigned to stations east of an irregular line formed by the western state borders from North Dakota south to Texas, with calls beginning with "K" going only to stations in states west of that line.)

WTG was one of the first of several AM stations established by Midwestern land-grant colleges in the early days of broadcasting, among them Iowa State's WOI, South Dakota's WEAJ, Iowa's WHAA, Michigan State's WKAR, and North Dakota's KFJM.

Beginning in 1923 additional frequencies are made available for broadcasting stations , and WTG was reassigned to 1100 kHz in May 1924, before being deleted on December 19, 1925. The next month, the stations's history was described as: "Some years ago the physics department had a radio broadcasting station WTG, which was the pioneer as far as broadcasting was concerned. Prof. J. O. Hamilton used the station for research work, broadcasting principally weather forecasts that were taken by operators who knew the code. Some musical programs were broadcast. When the large radio broadcasting station, KSAC, was fitted up, it was no longer necessary to maintain the station WTG and that license was surrendered. The department will receive a technical license for experimental work instead of the broadcasting license, according to Professor Hamilton."

College broadcasts over KFKB

Kansas State traditionally considered that its mission included the entire state of Kansas. This soon included radio broadcasts, which the extension agents saw as a natural adjunct to the school's agricultural services. However, the college initially did not have the funds needed to upgrade to a more powerful and up-to-date broadcast service. Therefore, in 1924 Professor Lyon made arrangements for college programs to be carried by telephone line from Manhattan, for broadcast by a 500-watt station at Milford, KFKB. A "College of the Air" series started on February 11, 1924, which ran for ten weeks. Several hundred listeners enrolled, in addition to an estimated thousands who just listened to the broadcasts.

KSAC and KKSU

Hundreds of letters were received praising the KFKB broadcasts. In response to the success, President Jardine and Dean Umberger convinced the State Board of Administration to provide an appropriation of $20,000 for the erection of an up-to-date broadcasting station at the college, which was announced by Hon. A. B. Carney, chairman of the Board, at the alumni-senior banquet on May 28, 1924. A 500-watt Western Electric transmitting set was purchased in July, and two 150 foot (45 m) towers were erected west of Nichols Gymnasium to support a transmitting antenna. A room on the third floor of the gymnasium was equipped for the new station's use. Because construction of the new station could not begin immediately, broadcasts over KFKB were restarted on September 15.

This new college station was assigned the specially requested call letters of KSAC, and was initially licensed for 500 watts at 880 kHz. Although government regulators generally treated WTG and KSAC as separate stations, when the Federal Radio Commission prepared individual History Card files in 1927, which were taken over by the Federal Communications Commission in 1934, the "Date First Licensed" for KSAC was entered as "4-6-[19]22", which is the date when WTG received its initial license.

The College of the Air broadcasts were transferred from KFKB to KSAC in late November 1924. A formal station dedication program was broadcast from 8:00 to 12:00 p.m. on December 1, 1924. This opened with the ringing of the College bell, and included speeches, reminiscences, and music, and a paper, "In the Beginning", presented by Mrs. Emma Haines Bowen, the only survivor of the class of 1867, which was the first class to be graduated. Congratulations received by telephone and telegraph were read to the radio audience.

in January 1926, KSAC's daily broadcast schedule was reported as "beginning at 9 a.m., for the rural schools; 9:55 for the housewives' half-hour; 12:35 for the noonday program and question box; 4:30 in the afternoon, for the matinee; 6:30, the regular 'college of the air', conducted by professors in the various departments, with musical features in the connection with the lectures".

In 1927, KSAC moved to 900 kHz, and on November 11, 1928, with the implementation of the Federal Radio Commission's General Order 40, it was moved to 580 kHz, sharing broadcast time on this frequency with the University of Iowa's WSUI.

In 1930, Senator Arthur Capper, publisher of Topeka's daily newspaper, the Topeka Daily Capital, asked Kansas State to share time on 580 kHz with his new station, WIBW, replacing WSUI. Kansas State agreed, realizing that it could not afford to make full-time use of their assignment.

In 1948, KSAC boosted its transmitter power to 5,000 watts, matching its commercial partner. Because 580 kHz is one of the lowest frequencies on the AM band, the station had an expansive groundwave signal, which provided daytime coverage of most the state. The station was off the air at the end of 1950 and early 1951 after losing its transmitter to fire.

In 1984 KSAC wanted to change its call letters from KSAC to KKSU, almost 30 years after the school had become a university instead of an agricultural college. However, a mothballed Merchant Marine ship, the Hunter Victory, was still technically assigned this call sign, and was reluctant to give it up. As a stopgap, on July 26 KSAC changed its call sign to its second choice, KEXT (Kansas EXTension). The KSAC call sign was sold for $25,000 to the former KROY-FM in Sacramento, California. Efforts continued to get the preferred KKSU call letters, which soon became available, and were assigned four days later.

By the mid-1990s, KKSU was on the air from 12:30 pm to 5:30 pm Central Time every weekday, airing livestock reports, agricultural updates, and news programming. For several years, it also had a daily hour of recorded classical music called Music From the Masters.

KKSU shutdown
WIBW unsuccessfully tried several times to expand to unlimited hours on 580 kHz, especially after 1957, when Oscar Stauffer bought the Daily Capital (and later merged it into the Topeka Capital-Journal)  Despite tremendous political pressure, KSAC/KKSU stayed on the air.

In December 2001, Kansas State moved its sports broadcasts to the Mid-America Ag Network (MAAN) after airing them on WIBW continuously since 1969 and off-and-on since the 1950s.  WIBW countered by citing a 1969 amendment to the timeshare agreement, that granted WIBW the right to broadcast Wildcat football in exchange for allowing KKSU (then still KSAC) to extend its operating hours an additional 15 minutes each weekday.

After heated negotiations, WIBW's owner, Morris Communications (which bought WIBW in 1994) agreed to ignore the agreement if KKSU would give it full control of their shared frequency.  On August 29, Morris agreed to buy KKSU's timeslot for $1.5 million.  In return, it agreed to give exclusive rights to all Wildcat sporting events to MAAN.

KKSU made its final broadcast on November 27, 2002, allowing WIBW to now operate as a full-time station.

Ashoka is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film written and directed by NRI, Prem Menon, who also stars in the lead role with Raghuvaran and Anandaraj in supporting roles. The film revolves around the life of a protector, who guards the Prime Minister of India. The film was produced by Prem's wife Indira under Lotus Film Company.

Plot
Prem Menon plays a Black Cat commando chief Ashoka looking after the security of the Prime Minister of the country. The film begins with Ashoka barely managing to save the life of the PM at the Coimbatore airport from a terrorist ambush.

Ashoka saves the PM, as the doctor later says, "The PM has survived, as he has his heart on the right side which is a rare phenomenon!" The rest of the film is about how Ashoka foils more terrorist attempts on the PM's life as he is recovering at the hospital.

Cast
Prem Menon as Ashoka
Anushree
Raghuvaran
Anandaraj
Uma Padmanabhan
Rajeev
Livingston
Naveen

Production
The film began production in June 2004, and was made over four years. The film featured no songs or a separate comedy track, and won media recognition for being a rare Tamil film during the period to have neither of those elements.

Reception
Sify wrote, "Unfortunately Ashoka is not a great experience and drags." Indiaglitz wrote, "Prem deserves to be appreciated for his courage and hard work to come out with a thriller with a racy script, without no songs and other commercial ingredients. Prem could have made the film a better fare had he avoided the glaring loopholes and the sentimental sequences".

The Gilo River is a river in the Gambela Region of southwestern Ethiopia. It is also known by a variety of names: the Gimira of Dizu call it the "Mene", while the Gemira of Chako call it "Owis", and Amhara and Oromo settlers in the early 20th century knew it by a third name, "Bako". From its source in the Ethiopian Highlands near Mizan Teferi it flows to the west, through Lake Tata to join the Pibor River on Ethiopia's border with Sudan. The combined waters then join the Sobat River and the White Nile.

The Gilo River flows mainly through the Baro Salient, a portion of Ethiopia that juts westward into Sudan. The river valley was subjected to a great deal of prospecting for gold before World War II and in the 1950s, but not enough was found to make commercial extraction viable.

Jessen, who was part of W.N. McMillan's expedition that travelled through this part of southwestern Ethiopia in 1904, estimated its length at 200 miles, and noted that at flood the width of the Gilo reaches 80 to 100 yards, with a depth of about 20 feet. Jessen further wrote that at the time of his visit.

Champlan () is a commune located  to the southwest of Paris, in the Essonne department in Île-de-France in northern France.

Although now completely enveloped in the Paris Metropolitan Area, the town has conserved its rural character in spite of its direct proximity to the capital, and thus retains its slogan of "Champlan, the meadow of Paris".

Inhabitants of Champlan are known as Champlanais.

Climate
Champlan is located in the Île-de-France, and has a Maritime climate. The annual average temperature is about 11.2 °C (52 °F), with an average maximum temperature of 14.8 °C (59 °F), and a minimum of 7.1 °C (45 °F). The maximum summer temperature (from July to August), averages around 24 °C (75 °F) and the minimum winter temperature (from January to February), averages around 1 °C (34 °F). Its climate is distinguished from that of Paris by a temperature that is on average, 2 degrees Celsius (3.8 degrees Fahrenheit) less, explained by the Urban Heat Island phenomena. The record temperatures were caused by the influence from the continental climate located to the east, reaching a high of 38.2 °C (101 °F) on 1 July 1952, and a low of -15.8 °C (4 °F) on 17 January 1985.

Dragon Player is a simple media player for the KDE desktop environment. It is the renamed continuation of a video player for KDE 3 called Codeine, which was originally created and developed by Max Howell, and is now developed by Ian Monroe under the new name for KDE SC 4. Because Dragon Player makes use of Phonon—a multimedia API that itself connects to any of several multimedia frameworks—it will play anything the particular connected multimedia framework supports. It was the default video player in the KDE 4 version of Kubuntu from 8.04 to 14.10.

Features
 Simple interface
 Resuming videos
 Support for subtitles
 Video display settings (brightness, contrast)
 Due to using Solid and Phonon, Dragon Player is independent of any multimedia framework or hardware abstraction layer(can be a very important detail).
 Supports playing CDs and DVDs

This is a complete episode listing for the anime series Fushigi Yûgi. Directed by Hajime Kamegaki, the fifty-two episode series was produced by Studio Pierrot.  It is based on the first fourteen volumes of the Fushigi Yûgi manga series written and illustrated by Yuu Watase. The series premiered on TV Tokyo and on the satellite channel Animax on April 6, 1995 and concluded on March 28, 1996.  The series was followed by three original video animation (OVA) releases.  The first three-episode OVA, released October 25, 1996, was not based on the manga, but was purely an anime creation.  The second OVA is based on the final four volumes of the manga series.  Spanning six episodes, the series was released as two three-episode volumes, with the first released on May 25, 1997, and the second coming over a year later on August 25, 1998. The final OVA, titled Fushigi Yûgi: Eikoden, is based on two related light novels written by Megumi Nishizaki. Released on December 21, 2001, the series spans four episodes.

The entire Fushigi Yûgi anime series, including the three OVAs, were licensed for Region 1 release by Geneon Entertainment. The series was released under the expanded title Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play.  The TV series was released in eight individual volumes that contained 6–7 episodes each.  It was also released in two collectible box sets, with season one contained in the Suzaku set and season two named the Seiryu set. The first two OVAs were released together in a set titled Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play, while Fushigi Yûgi: Eikoden was released as a single disc volume.  The two box sets and the two OVAs were released with similar packaging, to give them a consistent look.  All four of these sets were taken out-of-print and no longer available.  With the closure of Geneon USA, the individual volumes may now also be out-of-print. On their Facebook page, the company Media Blasters announced that they have rescued the TV series and will release the first season in April 2012.

Fushigi Yûgi uses three pieces of theme music. All fifty-two episodes feature the song , performed by Akemi Satō, as the opening sequence theme.

Venetian-style shoes or Venetian-style loafers are mid-heel slippers with an upper or top part that is slightly open to the kick of the foot and the ankle bone. The venetian-style shoe and its lack of ornamentation contrasts with the loafer which may have slotted straps, vamps and even tassels. The term came from Great Britain.

Loafers are "slip-on shoes with a moccasin toe construction and slotted straps stitched across vamps". A loafer may even be "decorated with metal chains or tassels". A penny-loafer has a "tongue and strap".

By the 20th century, the slip-on loafers were common male footwear. During this period other popular shoes included low, laced oxfords in various leathers, ankle boots, and specialized sport shoes. During the 1950s, the loafer became fashionable.

The Windermere Way is a 45-mile circuit of Windermere, a lake in the English Lake District. The route is wholly within the Lake District National Park and takes in the summits of Wansfell, Loughrigg Fell and Gummer's How as well as passing through the towns of Ambleside and Windermere.

History and status
The Windermere Way is an unofficial route and mostly follows footpaths and bridleways.  There are short stretches of road walking.  The route can be broken down into four easy stages with an easy return to your starting point using the Windermere Ferry or the Lake Steamers.

Route
The walk circumambulates Windermere and includes just about all the accessible lake shore paths together with ascents of the high points around the lake.

The route is broken down into four sections that most people will manage in a day’s easy walking. The Windermere to Ambleside walk starts at Bowness Bay and follows the lake shore northwards before ascending Orrest Head, dropping down again to cross Trout Beck then taking to the high fell tops, visiting Wansfell Pike the highest point on the walk.

Between Ambleside and Ferry House, the walk starts by climbing Loughrigg Fell, then drops down again past Loughrigg Tarn and on to a pleasant lakeside stroll by Wray Castle.  It then climbs steeply again, to give views from Claife Heights, finishing at Ferry Nab.

Between Ferry Nab and Lakeside the route passes through Cunsey and winds along the western shore of Windermere, visiting High Dam at Finsthwaite before concluding at Lakeside Steamer Pier.

The final stretch from  Lakeside back to Bowness is the longest and doesn't touch the lakeshore at all, but does afford some excellent views from Gummer's How and lovely walking through the woods.

Connecting trails
The route connects with the Dales Way at Bowness and Cumbria Way at Skelwith Bridge.

Thomas William Murphy (3 November 1863 – 26 July 1939) was a New Zealand boxer. An early World Featherweight Champion, he was the first world champion of any weightclass to come from New Zealand. In his early career, he took the New Zealand Lightweight Championship.

He was a prolific boxer who fought more than two hundred fights, with a few going as long as thirty and forty rounds.  He was known more for a powerful punch than an exceptional defense.

Early life and career
Murphy was born in Auckland and began boxing there before continuing his career in Australia. He called his deadly right, his "Torpedo" punch, which also referred to his ring name.

New Zealand Light champ, 1887
On 26 July 1887, he defeated Richard Long in a seventh round knockout at the Opera House in Wellington, New Zealand. The fight was billed as the Lightweight Championship of New Zealand. On 20 August 1887, he defeated John Scotty Fades at the Princess Theatre in a second round knockout at Dunedin, New Zealand, defending his title as Lightweight Champion of New Zealand. On 24 November 1887, he lost a New Zealand Lightweight Title bout with a sixth round disqualification against Ike Fake in Wellington, New Zealand.

He defended the title successfully on 23 June and 1 July 1888 against Joe Molloy and Edward Jones in two fifth round knockouts. These bouts demonstrated the strong punch he had in his early career. In a fourth round knockout, he defeated Jim Saxon in another New Zealand Lightweight Title match on 1 September 1888. On 2 February 1889, he lost to Tommy Williams at the Princess Theatre in Dunedin, New Zealand, in a fourth round disqualification, in what was billed as another New Zealand Lightweight Championship.

Coming to America, 1889
He arrived in San Francisco in June 1889 aboard the steamer Zelandia.

In his first fight in America, he defeated Johnny Griffin, an exceptionally talented featherweight, in a third round knockout at the California Club in San Francisco on 12 July 1889.

In an important bout on 30 July 1889, he fought a twenty-seven round draw against English champion Frank Murphy in what was billed as a World 120 pound title match. The bout was fought at the California Athletic Club in San Francisco for a purse of $1,800 dollars. In a close fight, Frank Murphy was down twice in the fifteenth, but had the better of the seventeenth through nineteenth rounds. Frank Murphy was down again in the twenty-second round.  The fight was stopped by Referee Cook with the help of the police in the twenty-seventh because neither men appeared to be able to continue the match.  Upon examination in their dressing rooms after the match, Billy Murphy was found to have a fracture of the radius of his left arm, and Frank Murphy's wrist was swollen and bruised. Torpedo Billy paused in his boxing schedule for five months to recover. From the twentieth through the final twenty-seventh round, both men appeared fatigued and did far less fighting than the first twenty rounds.

World Feather Champion, 1890

Murphey won the World Featherweight title on 13 January 1890 defeating Ike Weir in a fourteenth round knockout at the California Athletic Club in San Francisco, California. In the final round, possibly to show his dominance and contempt for his opponent, Weir did a backflip.  Murphey immediately unloaded a serious right as Weir landed, known as the "torpedo punch", which resulted in a knockdown that ended the bout after a count of ten.  The purse for the fight was $2,250.

According to one source, Weir, who led through much of the bout, was down repeatedly in the thirteenth round when Murphy rallied. In a rematch, on 2 November 1893, Murphy lost to Weir in a sixth round knockout, which was one of the high points of Weir's late career. In the fourth round, Weir knocked Murphy entirely out of the ring.  Weir successfully used his clever ducking and bobbing as a defense in the fight, avoiding Murphy's powerful right which had plagued him in their earlier title bout.

Losing World Feather title, 1890
After the match with Weir, he defeated Tommy Warren, Tommy White, and Eddie Greaney before returning to Australia in September 1890. Murphy was considered to have forfeited his title because he left the United States to return to New Zealand. However, Australia and New Zealand continued to recognize his title until he lost to Albert Griffiths known as Young Griffo in Sydney on 2 September 1890.  The bout was recognized as a Featherweight World Title match by Great Britain and Australia. Griffo was knocked down twice in the first three rounds.  The fight ended in the fifteenth when a right to Murphy's jaw led him to throw off his gloves and concede the fight.

He would lose to Young Griffo again on 22 July 1891 at the Sydney Amateur Athletic Club in another World Featherweight Title match.  The bout would end in a twenty-second round disqualification against Murphy.

Boxing after return to the United States
He returned to the United States in 1892 to continue boxing. On 6 February 1892, he was knocked out by Johnny Griffith in a 122 pound Featherweight Title match in Brooklyn, New York.  Both boxers complained of injuries to their hands, not uncommon considering the thin gloves used in most bouts.

On 31 May 1892, he fought Johnny Murphy in San Francisco in a forty round no contest bout that was billed as a 122 pound World Championship.  On 28 December 1892, in San Francisco, he had a rematch with Tommy White, whom he had defeated two years earlier, that ended in an epic thirty-four round no contest. The bout was for a $2,500 purse. In the fifteenth, White lost his momentum and was dropped by Murphy in the following round. From the seventeenth, to the twenty-ninth little fighting was done, both boxers to exhausted or disinclined to give or receive much punishment.  The referee said he would allow four more rounds, but stopped the fight on the thirty-fourth as there was too little boxing taking place. No blows were landed in the last eleven rounds, and some in the crowd suspected the fight was fixed.  All betting was declared off by the third round by the referee.

In an unusual match on 16 December 1893, in Paterson, New Jersey, with George Dixon, Murphy was disqualified in the third round for a blow to the referee.  Dixon had the best of the first round.  Trying to break the fighters from clinching in the third round, Murphy hit Referee James Stoddard with a right in the face either accidentally or distracted by the heat of the moment, and infuriated, Stoddard retaliated with two quick blows that landed Murphy under the ropes. The house became wild, but the police managed to keep order. Some papers described the fight as a knockout, though the referee, not Dixon put Murphy on the mat.

Losses to champions Dixon, Santry, Forbes, and Harris
He fought George Dixon on 22 January 1897 at the Broadway Athletic Club in Brooklyn, losing in a six round knockout. The fight was billed as a 120 pound World Featherweight Title match.  Manager Sam Fitzpatrick had predicted that Dixon would have the edge in the bout.  As the bout was with a former World Champion, it attracted considerable interest, and Dixon led the betting by odds of 2 to 1.  Murphy held his own for the first three rounds, but looked fatigued by the last three, while Dixon remained fresh and unfazed by the blows of Murphy. Murphy was knocked down and out in the sixth by a strong left to the stomach.

On 26 November 1898, he was knocked out by a rising Chicago star, Eddie Santry, who would take the World Featherweight Championship, according to most sources, the following year against English boxer Ben Jordan.  Murphy's knockout loss to Santry took place in the fourth round at the Commercial Athletic Club in St. Louis, Missouri.

On 29 April 1899, he lost in a four round knockout to future World Bantamweight Champion Harry Forbes at the Chicago Athletic Association in Chicago, Illinois.  On 19 May 1899, he lost to 1901 World Bantamweight Champion Harry Harris in a fourth round knockout at the Star Theatre in Chicago.

Return to Australia in 1904
In 1904, he returned to Australia and continued his boxing career, fighting around fifteen additional bouts.  His last battle was with Jimmy Ross in Auckland in 1906.

He died at his home in Auckland, New Zealand, on 26 July 1939 at the age of 75.

Recognition
Murphy was inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame in 1990.

Larinus curtus is a species of true weevil known as the yellow starthistle flower weevil. It is native to Southern Italy, Southern Europe, the Middle East and the Caucasuses.  It is used as an agent of biological pest control against the noxious weed yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) in the United States.

The adult weevil is dark brown or black with light colored mottled hairs on its body. It is about  long. The female lays glossy, milky white, oval-shaped eggs at the bases of open yellow starthistle flowers. The larva emerges from its egg in a few days and goes inside the flower head, where it feeds on the developing seeds. A larva is capable of destroying all of the seeds inside a given head, with an average reduction of 96%. The adult feeds on flowers and pollen but probably does little damage to the plant. It is the larva's impact on seed production that helps control the plant's spread.

There have been field reports of large numbers of adult L. curtis feeding on safflower flowers Carthamus tinctorius, but no evidence that larvae have successfully developed on this plant.

This weevil is native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. It was first introduced to the United States as a biocontrol agent in 1992. It is now established throughout the Pacific Northwest, but in relatively low densities.

The Atlantic Maritime Ecozone, as defined by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), is an ecozone which covers the Canadian provinces of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, as well as the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec. It is adjacent to the Atlantic Marine Ecozone to the east, and the Mixedwood Plains to the west.  The roughly-corresponding Level I Ecoregion to this ecozone in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's classification, which is also part of the CEC system, is the Northern Forests ecoregion, though that classification includes the woodlands and swamps of northern Michigan and Minnesota, which are adjacent to the Boreal Shield ecozone.

The coastal areas are generally cooler in summer and warmer in winter than the inland regions, with richer soils suitable for farming. Hence, coastal communities have the greatest concentration of the zone's 2.5 million inhabitants. The largest urban area in this ecozone is Halifax.

Geography
The Atlantic Maritime ecozone consists of two major regions, the Appalachians which are hilly with poor soils, and the coastal plains which have much richer soil. The inland regions are primarily highlands of igneous bedrock with acidic soils that support expansive forests, but are not adaptable to agricultural uses. The coastal plains are atop sedimentary bedrock, with rich soils suitable for agricultural applications.

The acadian forest is a mixedwood or transitional forest, exhibiting features of both deciduous and boreal forests.

Ecoprovinces
This ecozone can be further subdivided into three ecoprovinces:
Appalachian-Acadian Highlands
Fundy Uplands
Northumberland Lowlands

Climate
The entire region is relatively cool and moderate during the summer, with mean July temperatures at 18 °C. Winters tend to be mild but long, with January mean temperatures between -2.5 °C and -10 °C. Proximity to the Atlantic Ocean results in a humid environment with significant precipitation, varying from an annual average of 1425 mm along the coasts to 1000 mm inland. This is the most active storm region in Canada.

Coastal areas are typically warmer during the winter, and cooler during the summer, than other regions of the ecozone. They also experience frequent sea fog in late spring and early summer due to the interaction of the warm Gulf Stream currents with the much colder Labrador Current.

With an average of nearly 180 frost-free days, the coasts may have up to 1,750 growing degree days, whereas the inland areas of New Brunswick have an average annual growing season of 1,500 growing degree days, and just 80 frost-free days.

Protected areas
This ecozone contains a number of protected areas, including national and provincial parks. The national parks include Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Forillon National Park, Fundy National Park, Kejimkujik National Park, Kouchibouguac National Park, and Prince Edward Island National Park.

Maurice Perrault (12 June 1857 – 11 February 1909) was a Canadian architect, civil engineer, and politician.

Born in Montreal, Canada East, the son of Henri-Maurice Perrault, a surveyor and architect, and Marie-Louise-Octavie Masson. Perrault studied at the Petit Séminaire de Montréal from 1867 to 1875. He studied surveying and architecture from 1875 to 1879.

In 1880, he went to work in his father's company, which was called Perrault et Mesnard. Here, he was involved in the design of Sainte-Cécile in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield (1882–84); Sainte-Anne in Varennes (1883–87); Saint-Antoine in Longueuil (1884–87); and Saint-Charles in Lachenaie (1888–90). The firm reconstructed the facade and steeple of the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel. They also designed the Notre-Dame du Sacré-Coeur chapel behind the basilica, and St. Andrew's Cathedral in Victoria

In 1888, Perrault, who was of Liberal allegiance, was appointed chief architect for the district of Montreal by Premier Honoré Mercier. He was a member of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers. He later designed Laval University, St. Denis Street, 1893–94.

In 1908 Perrault undertook the restoration of St. Hyacinth's Cathedral. He secured the foundation, and replaced the original square towers with two slender bell towers.

From 1898 to 1902, he was mayor of Longueuil, Quebec. He was elected by acclamation to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec for the electoral district of Chambly in the 1900 election. A Liberal, he was re-elected in the 1904 and 1908 election. He died in office in 1909 and was buried in the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery.
