J. P. Pulliam Generating Station was an electrical power station powered by sub-bituminous coal, which could also be substituted by natural gas. It was located in Green Bay, Wisconsin in Brown County. The plant was named after the former Wisconsin Public Service Corporation president John Page Pulliam (–June 15, 1951). The plant units were connected to the power grid via 138 kV and 69 kV transmission lines. The remaining coal units on site were decommissioned in 2018 leaving only the natural gas fired P31 unit active at the site.

Units

Retirement

As a result of EPA clean air act enforcement, two coal fired units were retired at Pulliam in 2015 and WPSC was required to make $300 million in upgrades at the Weston Generating Station. Those costs were passed on to utility rate payers. At least ten positions were eliminated when Unit 5 and 6 were retired.

In 2016, WEC Energy (which purchased WPS in 2014) announced they would be retiring the remaining coal units at Pulliam due to lower natural gas prices and affordability of renewables, and they would retire the plant by the end of 2018. The plant was retired in October 2018, with most of its equipment auctioned off in March 2019.

Some local groups expressed concern that the closure may affect local bald eagle populations due to the lack of waste heat keeping the mouth of the Fox River from freezing in the winter, and peregrine falcon populations due to the removal of nesting boxes.

"Galileo" is a song written by Emily Saliers and recorded and performed by folk rock group the Indigo Girls. It was released in 1992 on their platinum-selling fourth studio album Rites of Passage. It reached #10 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, the first song by the Indigo Girls to break the top ten on any chart.

The song is about reincarnation, partially through the lens of the story of Galileo Galilei, the 17th century physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the scientific revolution. The song's chorus invokes both existential angst and Galileo's genius with "How long till my soul gets it right/Can any human being ever reach the highest light/I call on the resting soul of Galileo/King of night vision, king of insight", referencing both the clarity of physical vision made possible through his modernizations of the telescope and his support of Copernicanism, which stated that the Sun, rather than the Earth, was the center of the universe. The song has frequently closed concerts since its premiere in 1992.

Ghostboat is a 2006 British television film, based on a novel by George E. Simpson and Neal R. Burger. The film features David Jason as its star. It is a fantasy tale of His Majesty's Submarine Scorpion vanishing during the Second World War, leaving only one crew member (David Jason) surviving. 38 years later, in the Cold War year 1981, the Scorpion reappears; the crew have disappeared, but the vessel is otherwise unchanged and has not aged in the intervening years. A Royal Navy crew along with the sole survivor of the original voyage is given the mission of retracing the last days of the boat prior to her 1943 disappearance. A supernatural influence takes hold of most of the crew, and they start showing characteristics of the old crew. They find themselves fighting Second World War ghosts.

Plot

HMS Scorpion, a British submarine that had gone missing in the Baltic Sea during the Second World War, surfaces in the path of a Soviet freighter in 1981. The vessel is returned to British custody. Naval Intelligence is interested in the case because it seems that, for the first time, a ship has returned from "the Devil's Triangle of the North". The submarine opens her own hatch to let the investigating team in, where they find the vessel in a state of perfect preservation, but find no sign of the crew.

Jack Hardy is the only surviving member of the original crew, having been found floating and rescued in 1943 by members of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine; but he has no memory of the last days of the 1943 mission. He and Alan Cassidy, one of the vessel's designers, join a Royal Navy crew on a mission to retrace Scorpion'''s last days before she went missing. Commander Travis, a naval intelligence officer, is in charge of the mission while Captain Byrnes captains the submarine. The mission will take the submarine into Soviet waters while a surface ship, HMS Oakland, escorts the boat. Once in the Baltic, the current crew begins to take on the personalities and identities of the dead crew, and the boat takes a degree of control over herself. Contact with Oakland is soon lost.

A "Soviet submarine" is detected and through communication error the crew fires upon her and destroys her. Scorpion surfaces to search for survivors, but, impossibly, no debris is found. Hardy realises that the "Soviet submarine" was destroyed at the exact same place and time where the Scorpion sank a German U-boat in 1943, and speculates that "the past is breaking through". Cassidy, who had supervised the fitting of the Scorpion with practice torpedoes, finds that they have become live weapons. Captain Byrnes tries to abort the mission, but Cdr Travis convinces him to continue. Hardy learns that the real mission is to discover and exploit the power that preserved and delivered the Scorpion.

Soon, three aircraft are detected on radar whilst the Scorpion is surfaced. The aircraft are Second World War Luftwaffe fighters; Captain Byrnes says in stunned disbelief "This can't be real". Travis pulls out a gun and orders Byrnes below. The fighters then strafe the boat with gunfire. The captain is killed, and Travis takes command. Cassidy and Hardy find no bullet damage on the deck or tower from the strafing attack, and conclude that Travis may have shot the captain to preserve the mission.

Travis apparently becomes possessed by the former captain himself. The original submarine captain's intent had been to torpedo ships of the German fleet in the then German city of Königsberg, which is now the Soviet city of Kaliningrad. Modern Soviet officers detect the incoming hostile vessel, and begin preparations for a nuclear war. Hardy manages to get the crew off the boat before she can attack the Soviet fleet, but Travis and the submarine, essentially as one entity, continue the attack. Hardy rewires the torpedo control system, causing the torpedoes to explode in the torpedo tubes. The explosion kills Travis, and causes the vessel to sink. Hardy is shot in the process. Hardy dies on his bunk, clutching a picture of his wife as the water engulfs him.

Six months later, the Soviets find the sunken Scorpion; and she looks like she has been decaying for forty years. Neither Hardy's nor Travis' bodies are found. The Soviets close their investigation of the incident. British intelligence intercepts the Soviet report, leading British military authorities to also close their files on the case. The British Admiral says "There was no Kaliningrad incident; it never happened. The Scorpion sank in 1943".

 Production
The film was announced in August 2005. David Jason was enthralled by the book Ghostboat and adapting it was a long-held wish of his.

The drama aired as two separate 90-minute episodes. It was one of the most expensive dramas ever made by ITV.

The submarine used in filming is the non-diving replica, built in Malta as the 'modified' S-33 for the film U-571, also shot in Malta. The replica is still afloat, moored in Marsa in the inner part of the Grand Harbour.

 Film versus novel

The 1972 book Ghostboat was set in 1974, and revolved around the re-appearance of the Pacific Fleet class Submarine 284 USS Candlefish, thirty years after she disappeared in the Devil's Sea in the Pacific off the Kuriles, toward Japan. The Candlefish surfaces in the path of a Japanese freighter  northwest of Pearl Harbor. The characters and their names remain basically the same (e.g. Alan Cassidy is Walter Cassidy, Travis is Frank Crook) and the mission to re-trace the last days of the Candlefish has no undercurrent of intrigue.

In the original story Candlefish fell through a Geo-magnetic Anomaly (GMA), one of ten, five in the Northern Hemisphere, five in the Southern; and surfaced in the middle of another. The plot is concerned not so much with how the submarine came back, but why she came back.

The final mission of the Candlefish was changed by her captain, to an unplanned entry to Tokyo Bay, in an attempt to sink anything Japanese, and thus acquire a higher figure for tonnage sunk. This falls rapidly apart as the Candlefish sinks, with one survivor – Jack Hardy – injured and washed overboard from the conning tower. As the story concludes, Candlefish risks being unleashed on an unsuspecting Japan in 1974.

 Reception
The film received a score of 6.5/10 on Internet Movie Database.

 Award nominations Ghostboat was nominated for the 2006 RTS Television Award for Best Sound - Drama.

 DVD release Ghostboat'' was released on DVD on 15 January 2007, nine months after its first showing on ITV on 9 April 2006.

SS Clan Macwhirter was a British cargo steamship. She was built in 1918 as Ypresville in the First World War and sunk by enemy action in 1942 in the Second World War. In her 24-year career she also carried the names Halizones and Willcasino.

Building
Lloyd Royal Belge (Great Britain) Ltd built the ship at Whiteinch, Glasgow, launching her on 26 April 1918 as Ypresville. She was completed that July.

She had nine corrugated furnaces with a combined grate area of  that heated three 180 lbf/in2 single-ended boilers with a combined heating surface of . They supplied steam to one three-cylinder steam triple expansion engine rated at 549 NHP.

Peacetime career
Ypresville was built for the UK Government's Shipping Controller, a wartime agency that contracted James Gardiner and Company of Liverpool to manage her. By the end of 1918 the Shipping Controller had sold the ship to the British and South American Steam Navigation Company, which renamed her Halizones and contracted RP Houston and Company of Liverpool to manage her. In 1920 the Convoy Steam Ship Company Ltd of Halifax, Nova Scotia bought the ship, renamed her Willcasino and contracted HD Kempt of Liverpool to manage her. In 1921 Convoy SS Co sold the ship back to British and South American, who returned her to RP Houston's management but kept her name as Willcasino. In 1924 Clan Line Steamers Ltd bought the ship, renamed her Clan Macwhirter and appointed Cayzer, Irvine and Company Limited (who were part of the same group) to manage her.

Wartime career
On 1 September 1939, the day that the UK and France declared war against Germany, Clan Macwhirter sailed unescorted from Majunga in Madagascar bound for Colombo in Ceylon. She continued to trade unescorted in the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic until 1 February 1940, when she reached Freetown in Sierra Leone with a cargo of wheat and maize from Rosario and Buenos Aires in Argentina. From Freetown she sailed on 5 February with Convoy SL 19F, reaching Liverpool on 20 February.

Macwhirter sailed in home waters, including with Convoy FN 102 from Southend to Methil, until she arrived off Southend on 15 March with Convoy FS 120. She left Southend on 5 April carrying general cargo with convoy OG 24, which reached Gibraltar on 8 November.

From Gibraltar Macwhirter sailed unescorted via Malta to Port Said and through the Suez Canal to Suez. She then traded in the Indian Ocean between ports in Ceylon, India and South Africa until she reached Cape Town on 30 July. On 31 July she sailed unescorted with general cargo, arriving at Freetown on 13 August. She left Freetown on 26 August with Convoy SL 45, which reached Liverpool on 15 September.

Macwhirter left Liverpool on 29 October with Convoy OB 236. After the convoy dispersed at sea as planned, she continued unescorted to Cape Town, Durban, Mombasa and Mauritius. On 17–18 February 1941 she called at Cape Town and on 3 March she reached Freetown again. On 13 March 1941 she left Freetown with Convoy SL 68, and when it dispersed at sea as planned she continued unescorted to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Macwhirter loaded a cargo of sugar and iron and left Halifax on 10 April with Convoy HX 120, reaching Liverpool on 29 April. She then sailed independently to the Firth of Clyde and back to Liverpool. On 11 June she sailed from Liverpool with convoy OB 334 to Halifax, where she arrived on 26 June. From there she sailed unescorted to Trinidad, Cape Town, Durban, Lourenço Marques, Beira, Mauritius and back to Cape Town, where she arrived on 13 October.

Macwhirter left Cape Town on 16 October with a cargo of sugar for Britain. On 30 October she reached Freetown, where she left on 6 November with Convoy SL 92 to Liverpool. She then sailed in home waters with convoys WN 212, FS 667, FN 998, FN 612 and EN 43 until February 1942. On 6 February 1942 she left Methil with a general cargo, sailing with Convoy EN 43 which reached Oban on 8 February.

Macwhirter left Oban with a cargo of stores on 11 February, sailing with convoy OS 19 which reached Freetown on 3 March. She continued unescorted to Durban, and then sailed in the Indian Ocean to Karachi, Bombay, Durban, Lourenço Marques and Cape Town, where she arrived on 17 July. On 20 July she sailed independently to Bathurst, Gambia, where she arrived on 14 August.

Loss
Macwhirter left Bathurst on 16 August, sailing to Freetown where she joined Convoy SL 119. Her Master was Roderick Sutherland and she was carrying 2,000 tons of manganese ore, 3,500 tons of linseed, 2,200 tons of pig iron and assorted general cargo. However, from 20 August she suffered engine trouble, eventually falling behind the convoy.

On 27 August at 0100 hours , commanded by Werner Hartenstein, torpedoed Clan Macwhirter about 190 miles northwest of Madeira. Two torpedoes hit her port side, and 11 of her crew, including Captain Sutherland, eight crew members and two DEMS gunners were killed. Macwhirter listed to port, and her crew managed to launch three of her six boats before she sank in about 10 minutes.

The three boats remained in the area until daybreak, rescuing survivors who were in the water or clinging to floating wreckage. They then set sail for Madeira, but on 28 August a gale separated them. On 30 August second officer sent an emergency radio message. The Portuguese Navy responded by sending the aviso , which rescued 67 crew members and seven gunners and landed them at Funchal.

Frank Valentine Weston  (16 September 1935 – 29 April 2003) was suffragan Bishop of Knaresborough in the then Diocese of Ripon and Leeds from December 1997 until his death in April 2003.

Weston was born into a clerical family – his uncle was Frank Weston (Bishop of Zanzibar) – he was educated at Christ's Hospital and The Queen's College, Oxford (BA 1960, MA 1964). He then studied for ordination at Lichfield Theological College.

Weston was a curate in Atherton (1961–65).  Then began an association of more than 20 years with the College of the Ascension at Selly Oak, initially as chaplain (1965–69) and then as principal (1969–76). From 1973 until 1976 he was also Vice-President of Selly Oak Colleges and from 1976 until 1982 Principal and Pantonian Professor at Edinburgh Theological College. In 1982 he was appointed Archdeacon of Oxford and a residentiary canon of Christ Church, Oxford. He held the post until his elevation to the episcopate in 1997 and continued his association with Christ Church with an appointment as "emeritus student", a position roughly equivalent to an emeritus fellowship.

Weston was appointed Bishop of Knaresborough (the suffragan bishop for the then Diocese of Ripon and Leeds) in 1997 and held office until his death in 2003.

Junctional diversity describes the DNA sequence variations introduced by the improper joining of gene segments during the process of V(D)J recombination. This process of V(D)J recombination has vital roles for the vertebrate immune system, as it is able to generate a huge repertoire of different T-cell receptor (TCR) and immunoglobulin molecules required for pathogen antigen recognition by T-cells and B cells, respectively.

Process

Junctional diversity includes the process of somatic recombination or V(D)J recombination, during which the different variable gene segments (those segments involved in antigen recognition) of TCRs and immunoglobulins are rearranged and unused segments removed. This introduces double-strand breaks between the required segments. These ends form hairpin loops and must be joined together to form a single strand (summarised in diagram, right). This joining is a very inaccurate process that results in the variable addition or subtraction of nucleotides and, thus, generates junctional diversity.

Generation of junctional diversity starts as the proteins, recombination activating gene-1 and -2 (RAG1 and RAG2), along with DNA repair proteins, such as Artemis, are responsible for single-stranded cleavage of the hairpin loops and addition of a series of palindromic, 'P' nucleotides. Subsequent to this, the enzyme, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), adds further random 'N' nucleotides. The newly synthesised strands anneal to one another, but mismatches are common. Exonucleases remove these unpaired nucleotides and the gaps are filled by DNA synthesis and repair machinery. Exonucleases may also cause shortening of this junction, however this process is still poorly understood.

Junctional diversity is liable to cause frame-shift mutations and thus production of non-functional proteins. Therefore,
there is considerable waste involved in this process.

The PHOENIX MOBILITY (PM) PROGRAM  is an Air Mobility Command(AMC)-sponsored professional development program for board selected Air Force officers with 4–8 years commissioned service.  The purpose of the program is to develop officers with a strong foundation in expeditionary mobility operations while developing an understanding of senior leadership responsibilities. The PHOENIX MOBILITY program is open to rated and nonrated line officers.  Selected officers will become fluent in Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) operations, Contingency Response Wing (CRW) operations, and En Route Mobility Operations (EMO).  This 36-month assignment builds mobility leaders by immersing the officers into the heart of the AMC mission.  Rated PHOENIX MOBILITY officers who are current and qualified in a MWS will be authorized to fly in attached status.

Competencies
The program focuses on establishing a foundation of competencies associated with expeditionary mobility operations.  These competencies can be divided into four distinct areas: AOC operations, CRW operations, EMO and Officer Professional Development (OPD).  Each PHOENIX MOBILITY officer will gain an in-depth knowledge of each area to meet the overall goal of developing future senior leaders with a sound understanding of all aspects of air mobility operations.  PHOENIX MOBILITY officers can expect to be transitioned throughout the CRW/Expeditionary Mobility Task Force (EMTF) in order to gain exposure to the full spectrum of mobility operations.

Locations
The PHOENIX MOBILITY PROGRAM is a bicoastal organization.  The east coast part of the program is in the Twenty-First Expeditionary Task Force at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey.  The west coast part of the program is in the Fifteenth Expeditionary Task Force at Travis Air Force Base, California.

Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) Operations
Members will focus on the operational level of warfare with particular respect to planning, execution, and command and control of theater airlift/tanker assets from the perspective of the Air Mobility Division through serving in a deployed or exercise AOC.

Contingency Response Wing (CRW) Operations
Members will focus on Contingency Response Group (CRG) and Contingency Response Element (CRE) operations in support of an airbase opening during contingences, humanitarian relief operations, or exercises.

En Route Mobility Operations (EMO)
Members will gain exposure and firsthand familiarity with the AMC fixed en route structure and its ability to support the AMC mission.

Kokey is an ABS-CBN fantaserye which was premiered on Primetime Bida from August 6 to November 9, 2007 and was replaced by Princess Sarah. The show is based on the 1997 film with the same title, the planned concept for the show is in continuation to its 10th anniversary of the film, the show last 70 episodes and which was followed by Kokey at Ako.

Overview

Film

The first Kokey encounter happened twenty years ago. It was in 1997 when we were first introduced to the cute alien who had a penchant for befriending human beings. And his best friend then was the pre-pubescent Carlo Aquino in the movie entitled Kokey. It was directed by the same man who brought Cedie and Sarah, Ang Munting Prinsesa to the big screen---Romy Suzara.

Plot
An alien named Kokey from the planet Yekok had crash-landed on Earth in his ship. He eventually befriends a young orphan named Bong, and he helps Kokey to fix his ship so that he could return to planet Yekok. Kokey also befriends other people - Anna, the sister of Bong, Abie, an aspiring pilot who helped build Kokey's ship, and Peping. Meanwhile, Kokey's enemy, Korokoy, followed him to Earth in order to find a crystal which Kokey values the most. Bong, Anna, Abie & Peping must help Kokey to find the lost crystal, fix his ship in time, and defeat Korokoy. One night, as Kokey & the others were sleeping on a leaf (on their many adventures, they shrank at one point), Bong stayed awake & looked up at the sky, thinking sadly about his friend Kokey & what his life would look like without him (when he leaves for planet Yekok in the distant future). After singing a quite sad song about Kokey, he finally drifts off to sleep. The next day, they continue their search for the crystal. They encountered many mysteries & many problems they had to solve, but eventually they found the crystal & defeated Korokoy. Kokey's mother, Kakay, soon went to Earth to help her son. It turns out that Kokey's father, Kokoy, & Korokoy were enemies too. When they had found the crystal & defeated Korokoy, he said his final words: "I shall come back again!". Then Kokey & Kakay went off to Yekok in their spaceship. Once they were high in the night sky, his mother asked him, "Where's the crystal?" Then Kokey looked around & was alarmed to find out that he left the crystal with Bong! When his mother found out, they both cried, "AAAAAAAAAH!" as the spaceship flew away.

Richard Gene Strenger (born March 10, 1960) is a former All-Big Ten American football offensive tackle who played for the University of Michigan Wolverines (1980–1982) and Detroit Lions (1983–1987).  He is now working as a lawyer in Lake Orion, Michigan.

High school and college

Strenger began in football as a speedy, 218-pound end for Grafton High School in Grafton, Wisconsin.  In 1977, he was named All-Metro at the end position after catching four touchdown passes, including a 41-yard reception.  At Michigan, Strenger grew into a 6'7, 285 pound lineman and became an intimidating presence in the Michigan offensive line from 1980–1982.  In 1981, he was a backup to Ed Muransky and Bubba Paris, and in 1982, he started all 12 games for the Big Ten champion Wolverines.  In 1982, Strenger's blocking led the ways for tailback Lawrence Ricks to rush for 1,428 yards.  He was named All-Big Ten at offensive tackle and honorable mention All-America in 1982.  In the 1983 Rose Bowl game, Strenger injured his ankle on the third play of the game and did not return to the lineup as the Wolverines lost to UCLA, 21-14. Strenger was also selected to play for the East Squad in the 58th East-West Shrine Game on January 15, 1983 at Stanford Stadium.

Professional football

Strenger was the Detroit Lions' second-round draft pick (40th selection overall) in the 1983 NFL Draft.  He played in 49 NFL games, including all 16 games for the Lions in 1983.  He had earned the starting tackle job in 1984, but he sustained torn ligaments in his right knee in the seventh play of the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers on September 2, 1984, and underwent surgery.  Lions coach Monte Clark said of the loss of Strenger, "That's a disaster."  He underwent surgery and missed the entire 1984 season and much of the 1985 season while recuperating.   On returning to football after his injury, Strenger said, "Sometimes I feel like a rookie out there.  In some ways, it's a new challenge to earn my position back, but I'm really anxious to get out there and do some hitting."  Starting midway through the 1985 season, Strenger started 22 consecutive games and was considered Detroit’s comeback player of the year in 1986.  He started all 16 games and played every offensive snap in 1986 on an offensive line that included Keith Dorney and Lomas Brown.  Strenger was a leader on the Lions' offensive line, opening holes for Billy Sims (1,040 yards rushing in 1983) and James Jones (903 yards rushing in 1986).  Comparing the college and pro training regimens, Strenger once noted that Bo Schembechler ran a more strenuous training camp than the Lions: "Things were tougher at Michigan, but they could afford to be because camp was only four weeks long.  This is six weeks long, so there is more attention given to not tiring people out."  The injuries caught up with Strenger as he was placed on injured reserve by the Lions in November 1987 and did not play in the NFL again. Strenger signed with the Buffalo Bills in May 1988 but did not make the team.  After trying to make the Bills team in 1988 and 1989, Strenger was waived by the Bills on August 30, 1989.  In September 2006, Strenger was honored by the Lions as the Alumni Honorary Captain for the Lions-Green Bay Packers game at Ford Field.

Legal career

Strenger later received his law degree from the Detroit College of Law of Michigan State University in 1999, and worked with the law firm of Butzel Long in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, before opening the Law Offices of Rich Strenger in Lake Orion, Michigan.  He was named Volunteer of the Quarter for the first quarter of 2003 by the board of directors and staff of Community Legal Resources in Detroit.   In December 2007, Strenger was hired by the North Oakland Transportation Authority to respond to allegations that the agency's director, Pat Fitchena, had engaged in misconduct and abuse of staff members.

Alesana ( ) is an American post-hardcore band from Raleigh, North Carolina. The group was founded by Steven Tomany, Daniel Magnuson, Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee and Patrick Thompson during the fall of 2004, and is currently signed to Revival Recordings and Artery Recordings. Alesana has collectively released three EPs and five full-length studio albums.

The band started to pick up an audience shortly after the release of the debut, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax, featuring a musical style shifting between light and heavy sounds along with a wide influence ranging from pop, punk, metal and even classic rock bands.  The release of their third album, The Emptiness (2010) saw Alesana's fanbase grow expansively. The band's name comes from Aliceanna Street in Baltimore, the street on which vocalist/rhythm guitarist Shawn Milke and lead guitarist Patrick Thompson grew up.

History

Formation and Try This with Your Eyes Closed (2004–2005)
Shawn Milke and Patrick Thomson were both living in Baltimore, Maryland in the early 2000s where they both played in a few previous bands around that time. One notable band that Milke was in was the punk rock band The Legitimate Excuse, which formed in 2001 in Pennsylvania (and later moved to Baltimore by 2002). About a year into looking for members around the Baltimore area and writing/recording early demos under the de facto/prototype Alesana name, the pair decided it would be best to move to Raleigh, North Carolina and continue their search there due to their fondness of the city's music scene. Once in Raleigh they were eventually joined by Dennis Lee, Steven Tomany, and Daniel Magnuson. With these new members in place, Alesana officially formed in October 2004. The name of the band is inspired from Aliceanna St., which Shawn Milke and Patrick Thompson lived on when playing in Baltimore, MD.  Aliceanna St. is located in Fells Point, a neighborhood in Baltimore.

Alesana was the first band to join Tragic Hero Records in 2005, and their three demo songs titled "Apology", "Beautiful in Blue"  and "Goodbye, Goodnight for Good" were featured on the compilation All The Tragedy Money Can Buy. In May 2005 they released their debut EP, Try This With Your Eyes Closed. In the same year, founding drummer Daniel Magnuson was replaced by Will Anderson, who was soon replaced by Jeremy Bryan. Alesana then toured across the United States, including an appearance at the Cornerstone Christian music festival, despite them not being a Christian band.

On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax (2006–2008)
In 2006 they added guitarist/vocalist Adam Ferguson to their lineup. They followed with a full-length album, entitled On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax, produced by Kit Walters, during the summer of 2006. The album was their first foray into concept albums with most songs being based on Greek mythology. In late 2006 Alesana signed to Fearless Records, which re-released their LP in March 2007 to mostly positive reviews and released a music video for "Ambrosia". In the same year, the song "Apology" in an acoustic version was featured on the compilation release, Punk Goes Acoustic 2. The group parted ways with Steven Tomany on the second to last day of tour before having a break before playing the entire Warped Tour 2007, being replaced by the merch girl Shane Crump. The record is also the first to feature Shawn Milke's sister, Melissa Milke, who performs all female vocals.

In early 2008, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax charted on the Billboard magazine's Heatseekers chart, peaking at #44.

Where Myth Fades to Legend (2008–2009)
In 2008, Alesana finished recording their second album, Where Myth Fades to Legend. It was released on June 3, 2008, but was leaked on popular torrent sites a month beforehand. Where Myth Fades to Legend was also the title of their headlining tour with Sky Eats Airplane, Our Last Night, Lovehatehero, and The Chariot that supported the album.

On the 2008 Warped Tour, Shane Crump briefly left due to personal matters at home and Jake Campbell, formerly of Twelve Gauge Valentine, became a temporary fill in-bassist. Upon Crump's return, Adam Ferguson and the band parted ways and Campbell became the new guitarist/vocalist. Shane Crump also took care of all the backing unclean to this point.

On January 20, 2009, the music video for "Seduction", the song features a few screams made by Ferguson before he left the band, because of that Shane Crump lip sync all his screams. On March 10, 2009, the album Punk Goes Pop 2 was released which includes Alesana's cover of "What Goes Around...Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake. Alesana's Where Myth Fades to Legend has also charted on the Billboard 200 at #96 and on the Billboard Hard Rock Album at #13.

The Emptiness (2009–2010)

In late February, Shawn Milke announced Alesana had started writing new material for their upcoming album. They began recording their third studio album, in July 2009, in Portland, Oregon, with producer Kris Crummett. The album, according to Shawn Milke on The Rave TV, would be entitled The Emptiness. The band had made their progress in the studio viewable to fans through a Twitter account and an official website run by the band themselves. Concluding the band's recording session, which began on July 10, Alesana then set out for North Carolina to rest before they began their Vs. tour, which they headlined and included the bands The Bled, Enter Shikari, Broadway, Madina Lake, and Asking Alexandria. On the Vs. tour, Alesana's set included two new songs titled "To Be Scared By An Owl" and "The Thespian". Soon after concluding their month-long Vs. tour, Alesana headlined the "You'd Be Way Cuter in a Coffin" Tour with From First to Last, Asking Alexandria, The Word Alive and Memphis May Fire.

On October 15, Milke and Lee held a second interview with The Rave, where they revealed that they were shooting a music video in the fall for one song from The Emptiness. Milke also revealed that the album, The Emptiness, was to be released on January 26, 2010. On November 23, Alesana released their first recorded work off of The Emptiness, "To Be Scared By An Owl" and began to promote it as a single. The same week, they entered the studio to begin filming their third video which according to their website, is "The Thespian", the song was released on December 8, 2009. In 2009, Alesana won the Best Hardcore/Screamo Band at the Rock on Request Awards. The band were also invited to play "To Be Scared by an Owl" live on The Daily Habit.

After the release of their music video for "The Thespian" the group returned home to NC to prepare for the 2010 Warped Tour. Right before their first venue on the Warped Tour, guitarist Jake Campbell left the band to be with his family, and Alex Torres of Greeley Estates took his place. Upon the release of The Emptiness, it debuted at #68 on the Billboard 200, which made it the best selling release by the band during this period.

On July 22, 2010, Milke made a statement on the official Revolver website, regarding his constant desire to write scripts, stories and music; considering The Emptiness his 'first printed story'. Milke went on to say that he is constantly writing, and that new material for an Alesana album—as well as material for Wake Me Up, Juliet and Tempting Paris—was already being created. After The Emptinesss recording, the group announced a headlining tour entitled: Two Frail Weeks of Vanity and Wax, in which they performed On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax in its entirety on each date of the tour, along with confirming that some songs would never be played live again after these concerts. In November 2010, Alesana departed from Fearless and signed to Epitaph Records.

A Place Where the Sun Is Silent (2011)
During the beginning of 2011, the band confirmed that plans for a new record were already in the works. Alesana stated that chosen VIP's were involved within the testing of new tracks that were prepared to be included on their fourth studio album. These trackings were recorded during March 2011 with producer Kris Crummett. By the beginning of that summer, Alesana completely finished the record's recording sessions. Alex Torres, Shane Crump, and Dennis Lee shortly thereafter confirmed that the mixing was finished as well and that they had the first master copies published. The name of the album was then announced to be titled, A Place Where the Sun Is Silent, and was released on October 18.

Before its release, promotion for the record was supported by many magazines, websites and other publications. August 24, 2011 had Alternative Press premiere the first leaked song from the album, entitled "A Gilded Masquerade". September 20 had Buzznet streaming "A Forbidden Dance" on their website as part of a contest for a lyric video.

The album thematizes Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem, Inferno. On December 20, 2011, the song "Circle VII: Sins of the Lion" was voted the best song of 2011 by readers of Revolver.

Side projects, Decade EP, tour and Confessions (2012–2015)

In May 2012, Lee began a four-piece side band named Child of the Jackyl with members of the thrash metal band Vanisher while Milke released "Polaroids In July" with his side project Tempting Paris (consisting of Shawn Milke, Paul Co, Patrick Thompson, Melissa Milke and Joey Mitchell (Swampcandy)). Alesana confirmed later in the year that their fifth studio album is currently in its early stages. Later it was announced the band was parting ways with Alex Torres, shortly after Jake Campbell returned to the band. On May 8 Milke announced that the band had left Epitaph Records and the follow-up to A Place Where the Sun Is Silent will be self-released. The pre production for the new record will start shortly after the You Better Watch Your Mouth, Sunshine! Tour and they plan to release this fall. Shawn Milke will be the producer and Neil Engle, who also worked on The Emptiness and Dance Gavin Dance's Happiness will be involved as engineer.

On March 27, 2014, Alesana released a new song off of their The Decade EP entitled "Double Or Nothing" via the Artery Recordings YouTube channel.

On September 12, 2014, Cliché Magazine interviewed Shawn Milke before their Chaos Is the Ladder Tour with Megosh, The Funeral Portrait and The Things They Carried about their forthcoming album set for a Spring release. The album will be the conclusion of the Annabel trilogy and will be centered around "The Time Quintet" literary book series  by Madeleine L'Engle. The band will also release another single in December.

On February 24, 2015, the band announced via Facebook the third and final part of the Annabel trilogy. The album Confessions was released through Revival Recordings; the first single "Oh, How The Mighty Have Fallen" premiered on March 17. In addition to the announcement of Alesana's new album, the band will be heading out on a nationwide tour with Capture The Crown, The Browning, Conquer Divide, and Revival Recordings labelmates The Funeral Portrait. This 29-day tour will begin in Winston-Salem, NC on April 3 and wrap up on May 3 in Dallas, TX.

On April 2, 2015, the song "Comedy of Errors" premiered on the band's social networks, a videoclip for the song was filmed as lead track of Confessions

On April 21, 2015, the band's fifth album Confessions was released. It is the conclusion to the Annabel trilogy.

On December 30, 2015, via Revival Recordings YouTube channel, the band released the trailer for the first part of "Comedy of Errors" which premiered on January 7, 2016. On February 7, 2016, the second part was released

Live album problems (2015–2016)
In December 2015, Shawn Milke did an AMA on the Revival Recordings' YouTube channel, a user named Shane Waters asked: "So when's the live album going to be released? Thought it was going to be last year?" and Shawn Milke answered: "So when we opened the session from the Live performance there were a lot of corrupt files.  We've been working to see if the session is salvageable.  Fingers crossed, I appreciate you asking about it!" It leaves unlikely expectations for the release. During this time, most of the vinyls for Confessions and The Emptiness were delayed with logistics problems.

On July 26, 2016, the page www.theannabeltrilogy.com was officially released along with the announcement of a new tour and that the band would be releasing a new novel entitled "Annabel," which is based on the group's three concept albums. The book was released on August 31, 2016, along with a new Deluxe Edition of Confessions with two extra songs, "Fatima Rusalka" and "Ciao Bella" Also, the band embarked on a 10-year tour for their debut album, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax, during the fall. This tour was entitled "10 Frail Years of Vanity and Wax", and supporting acts included Oh, Sleeper, Famous Last Words, and Artwork

On July 27, 2016, the band made official their participation on the second edition of Slipknot's Knotfest in Mexico with bands such; Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Slayer, Animals as Leaders, Enter Shikari, Disturbed, Deftones and many more.

Origins, The Lost Chapters EP and future plans (2017–present)
On April 11, 2017, the band made official their participation on the first edition of the Vans Warped Tour MX with bands including Good Charlotte, Mayday Parade, Suicide Silence, Hatebreed, Never Shout Never and more. The Vans Warped Tour MX would have taken place in the Foro Pegaso in Toluca, Mexico, on May 27, 2017, although this date was pushed back for an intended show on October 22 of the same year before eventually being canceled by the promoters. They eventually did play in Mexico City at the Teatro Ramiro Jiménez on September 16, 2017, along with national groups Allison, Cerberus, Kamikaze Ninja, Say Ocean and Kaizan opening the show.

On October 31, 2017, the band announced a new project titled "Origins". Details of the project were announced in the following days, in which it was revealed that Origins would be a compilation of the band's history all packaged into 1000 limited-edition boxes which would include memorabilia such as a shirt and picks with designs from the earliest days of the band, posters, a new EP entitled The Lost Chapters, a USB drive containing rarities and B-sides, and much more. "Origins" was scheduled for release on Black Friday, 2017. On November 22, 2017, they released the first single off of the upcoming The Lost Chapters EP, entitled "Fits and Starts". The new single was accompanied by a brand new music video, which is mainly a compilation of fan made videos sent to the band.

As of 2023 the band is touring regularly and playing festivals. They have confirmed there is no plans to stop doing so. They appear to be more active on social media. And have also launched a new online merch store, with all apparel being printed by Lee. They have confirmed that a new album is in its early stages. It would seem the delay is due, at least in part, to the members personal lives. All members are married and have children with the exception of Crump and Bryan. Most recently vocalist Dennis Lee and his wife Cayce welcomed a daughter in late 2020. Lee later revealed that she had been born 4 months early and spent 9 months in the hospital. This has understandably added to touring and writing delays.

Musical style and influences
Alesana's overall genre has been proven difficult to determine due to their frequent use of light and poppy influence combined with heavy outputs and metal influenced-screaming vocals. According to Corey Apar, Alesana's music combines post-hardcore and heavy metal music with pop-influenced hooks. Alesana has been described as emo, screamo, metalcore, and post-hardcore. Influences for the band have included The Beatles, Mae, Mew, The Smashing Pumpkins and The Black Dahlia Murder. Alesana's earlier material was also influenced by fellow North Carolinian metalcore bands including Prayer for Cleansing, Between the Buried and Me and Undying.

American singer Patty Loveless later recorded it for her third album with Epic Records, The Trouble with the Truth (1996). Her version was released in 1996 as that album's second single and charted for 20 weeks on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching number 13 during the week of July 27, 1996.

Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price from Billboard wrote, "Few vocalists can match the depth of emotion that Loveless brings to a ballad, and she once again delivers a stunning performance on this fine song from her current Epic album, "The Trouble With The Truth". The mournful fiddle and understated production add to the poignancy of Loveless' delivery and the emotion in the lyric." Wendy Newcomer from Cash Box said, "If Patty Loveless can sing a dud song, I've never heard it. Her in-your-face honesty and the song's unapologetic message are a double delight. She's probably the only contemporary female singer who can take a song that was also recorded by George Jones and bring an equal amount of passion to the table."

Clitendoceras is a genus of cephalopods in the order Endocerida from the Lower Ordovician (m-u  Canadian) with an elongate shell with a slight downward, endogastric, curvature and a siphuncle that lies along the ventral margin. Common for endocerids, the chambers are short and the septa close spaced with sutures sloping forward across the back of the shell. Septal necks are short in the young, lengthening in the adult. Endocones are simple, but with the ventral side of the last formed projecting forward. The endosiphotube running down the middle is arched on top and somewhat flat on the lower side.

Clitendoceras appears early in the Domingian stage, Lower Ordovician, probably derived from Proendoceras, and is the likely ancestor of the mostly compressed and breviconic  pilocerids as well as of more similar forms such as Mcqueenoceras.

Fortunata y Jacinta (Fortunata and Jacinta), was written by Benito Pérez Galdós in 1887 and published in the same year. It is, together with Leopoldo Alas y Ureña's La Regenta (The Judge's Wife), one of the most popular and representative novels of Spanish literary realism. Born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, the author went to Madrid, the capital, to study law at age 18. There he would create a literary world that was present in almost all his writings. The novel was a sensation upon its release because of its scathing critique of the Spanish middle class, and for its frank sexuality. While criticized by political and religious leaders, it was praised by peers of Galdós for its realistic depiction of life amongst all classes in 19th century Madrid.

Plot summary
The story revolves around Fortunata and Jacinta, two women of different classes who claim Juanito Santa Cruz as their husband. Juanito, the scion of a wealthy family, goes around carousing and womanizing with his friends. In one of these episodes, he is taken with Fortunata, a young woman of the lower class. This encounter ends when Juanito grows bored of Fortunata and disappears from her life leaving her pregnant. Worried about Juanito's lifestyle, his mother decides to marry him to his cousin Jacinta and arranges a series of meetings between them that end in marriage. During their honeymoon, he tells her about his experiences in the poor neighbourhoods of Madrid and talks to her about Fortunata and how sorry he is for mistreating her. Jacinta forgives him, but remains curious about his infidelity.

Time passes and Jacinta fails to get pregnant. She and the rest of the family become obsessed with this.

Ido del Sagrario is a poor man whom Juanito invites to the house with the intention of humiliating him for his own amusement. He shows up at the Santa Cruz home one day and informs Jacinta that he knows of a son that Juanito had with Fortunata. Jacinta becomes very excited about the idea of having her husband's child. After consulting with Guillermina Pacheco (a saintly neighbour), the two women go to one of Madrid's poor neighbourhoods to see the boy, "Pitusín". The baby's guardian is José Izquierdo, uncle of Fortunata, from whom they end up buying the wild boy.

When Jacinta talks to her husband about the "adoption", the discussion turns farcical. Juanito tells her that Pitusín cannot be his son, since his baby died years ago. Fortunata herself had asked for his help when the baby got sick but it was too late and they could only watch him die. Pitusín is then José Izquierdo's step-grandson. Jacinta rallies and tries to raise Pitusín, but her despair from the deception and the wild manners of the boy are too much for her and she ends up sending him to an orphanage.

Meanwhile, Fortunata has been living with various men, and living badly. If one man did not deceive her, he beat her, or abandoned her at the first opportunity. She was in Barcelona for a time, and on her return she moved in with Feliciana, an acquaintance of hers. Feliciana's boyfriend usually came to her house to visit with a friend of his, Maximiliano ("Maxi") Rubín. It is there that Rubín falls hopelessly in love with Fortunata. Soon the young man proposes to maintain her, and Fortunata, seeing this as an opportunity to escape her situation, accepts his offer.

Maxi lives with his aunt, Doña Lupe and works in a pharmacy while he studies chemistry. He is also delicate and prone to sicknesses, and Fortunata realises that they will never have children together. As his relationship with Fortunata progresses, he wants to marry her and consults his aunt and brothers. Everyone agrees that Fortunata should spend some time at Las Micaelas, a convent that houses and tries to reform "fallen" women. There Fortunata becomes friends with Mauricia "La Dura", an alcoholic seamstress. She also sees Jacinta, one of the convent's wealthy patronesses, for the first time.

After the prescribed time passes, Fortunata and Maxi marry. However, a trap awaits Fortunata in her new home: Juanito Santa Cruz has bought the apartment next door, and he bribes the newlyweds' servant to sow discord between the couple. It does not take long before Fortunata takes the bait and leaves her husband. Maxi returns to his aunt's house, and Fortunata moves into the apartment paid for by Juanito.

With time, Juanito grows tired of Fortunata again and leaves, this time leaving her a small sum to live on for a while. Fortunata bumps into Don Evaristo Feijoo, friend of her brother-in-law Juan Pablo. Feijoo proposes to become Fortunata's protector and lover and pays for her lodging and upkeep. He also instructs her, and she becomes wiser and more cultured under his influence. This works out until Feijoo begins to think he is too old and fears that once he is dead Fortunata will find herself once again in the gutter. Feijoo advises her to return to her husband's house, and, after Feijoo subtly prepares the ground for her, she does.

Seeing Fortunata reformed and back with her husband makes Juanito Santa Cruz want her once again. Fortunata, without even fleeing from the house, falls for him once more. Fortunata and Jacinta finally meet face to face and confront each other. Jacinta tries to dismiss Fortunata as a nobody but Fortunata declares herself to be the true wife of Juanito, since she met him first and had a child by him. Jacinta is hurt by this and Fortunata decides to have another child with Juanito.

Maxi gradually loses his mind and develops a fatalistic desire to kill himself and Fortunata, as well as other members of the family, to "free" them from what he sees as the "beast", i.e. life and its associated suffering. Meanwhile, Juanito begins to tire of Fortunata yet again. One day, in his state of insanity, Maxi realises that his wife is pregnant. Rather than explain to Doña Lupe what has happened, Fortunata simply gets out of the house and returns to her Aunt Segunda, at the place she was raised. She has there her second child, attended by a doctor who is a friend of the Rubíns and of Segismundo Ballester, a co-worker of Maxi's from the pharmacy who is also in love with her. Jacinta soon learns this and sends an emissary to Fortunata to ask her for her child, in adoption. Fortunata adamantly refuses.

Maxi is told that Fortunata is dead. He refuses to believe this and is able to figure out where she is following Segismundo. He meets her and her baby and, out of spite, tells her that Juanito Santa Cruz was and is still betraying her with Aurora, a family friend of the Rubíns and an intimate friend of Fortunata. As soon as she finds herself alone at home, Fortunata goes to Aurora's shop and has a fight with her. The fight causes Fortunata a haemorrhage. Seeing that she is dying, Fortunata arranges to give the custody of her child to Jacinta.

Jacinta receives the child gladly and also learns the true reason of Fortunata's death and of her husband's many betrayals. She will not forgive him any longer and their marriage will be in name only hereafter. The same day of Fortunata's funeral, they also bury Feijoo.
After finally being convinced Fortunata is dead Maxi asks to be sent to a monastery. Maxi is in fact finally sent to the insane asylum at Leganés by his family, who attempt to convince him it is in fact the monastery he wished to enter; despite seeing through their deception he is now too apathetic and fatalistic to object to such treatment and is resigned to his fate.

According to one theory, بنيد bnēd is a clipping of the word بنيدر bnēdar, a diminutive of the Arabic-Persian بندر bandar meaning harbour or port that can be found is some place names on the Gulf coasts. The word قار gār means pitch, and thus it was named due to the natural oil discharges from Qarū Island.

The railroad had at the time of construction in 1854 named it Trøgstad, but due to the confusion with the town named  Trøgstad in Østfold the name was changed in 1897 to Jessum.  However, since the name was used blasphemically by some, in particular military recruits, who said they had come through Bøn (town north of Jessheim whose name sounds like 'prayer') to Jessum (which may sound like 'Jesus').  The local priests complained to the bishop who in 1900 discussed the matter with the parish council and suggested the form Jessheim.  The name was changed to Jesseim.  In 1920, the name was changed to Jessheim.

The station has a brick building completed in 1908.  The original building burned to the ground in the summer of 1904 after a robbery where the cash register was stolen.  The station originally had a water tower to supply the steam locomotives running on the railway.  Starting in 1935 the station operated a railway restaurant for a few years.

The restaurant was established on 4 February 1923 and was originally run by Norsk Spisevognselskap. From 1 April 1925, operation was taken over by the station master. The ticketing personnel were replaced by ticketing machines in September 2005. Shortly thereafter the building was taken over by Romerike Opplevelser AS and converted to a shop and cafe named Kafé Jessum. In 2007 the building was converted to a restaurant serving Indian food.

David Parish (December 4, 1778April 27, 1826) was a German-born land speculator and financier who played a major role in financing the United States military effort in the War of 1812 and in chartering the Second Bank of the United States.

Early life
Parish was born on December 4, 1778 in Hamburg,  then known as the Free Imperial City of Hamburg and a state of the Holy Roman Empire. He is the grandson of Scottish merchant John Parish, who had transferred his business to Hamburg from Leith, Scotland in the 1750s.

Life in America
Parish emigrated to the United States in 1806, settling first in Philadelphia, then two years later acquired 200,000 acres of land in the St. Lawrence River Valley to sell as farmland to settlers. Further adding to his holdings he profited greatly from arranging a large shipment of gold and silver bullion from Mexico to Napoleon’s France.

He and his family played a major role in the development of St. Lawrence and Jefferson counties in northern New York state, where he made his home in Ogdensburg and built a blast furnace at Rossie. His 1810 built mansion is now home to the Frederic Remington Art Museum, and was occupied by members of the Parish family until the 1860s. The town of Parishville is named for him, where his family owned a sheep farm and grew hops.

Sympathetic to the anti-war Federalist Party, he nevertheless brokered a $7.5 million loan to the cash-strapped Republican administration of James Madison  in 1813 to continue prosecuting the war. Historian Alan Taylor asserts that for that support, indispensable with Congress unwilling to raise taxes to fund the conflict, Parish gained the political leverage to insist on neutrality for the St. Lawrence Valley and peace negotiations with the British. Despite the strategic military importance of the St. Lawrence Valley, the US made only one half-hearted and disastrous attempt, in November 1813, to use it as an invasion corridor to attack Montreal and cut off the supply route from Lower to Upper Canada. The rest of the time, American and British interests continued their thriving transborder trade and generally peaceful relations as if there were no war between their countries, a fact Taylor attributes to Parish and his supporters and agents in the valley. Throughout the war, the focus of US military operations on land continued to be western Lake Ontario and the strategically marginal Niagara Peninsula.

In May 1816, Parish became an American citizen; he returned to Europe in the same year and served as the American consul in Antwerp from 1819 to 1823. He was removed from office due to controversial loans made to Emperor Francis of Austria for a military campaign against Italian independence, which was against the US foreign policy position

Later years and Death
Because of an Austrian bank fraud he lost his fortune and, in 1826, drowned himself in the Danube River. He was buried in the cemetery at Währing.

In popular culture
Parish was the basis for a character in the novel Anthony Adverse by Hervey Allen.
