Veldin Karić (born 16 November 1974) is a Croatian manager and former professional footballer. He played for a number of Croatian sides during his career but is mainly remembered for his time at Varteks (1997–2004) and a short spell with local powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb (2004–2005). During his career he also had stints with Torino in Italy and Lugano in Switzerland.

Playing career

Club
Born in Slavonski Brod in present-day Croatia, Karić started playing football at nearby Bosanski Brod, a town across the river Sava in today's Bosnia and Herzegovina, coming from the village of Gornje Kolibe. He was brought to the club in 1986, alongside his cousins Edin Mujčin and Zemir Mujčin by coach Miroslav Buljan. As a youngster he was picked up by the Sarajevo-based Yugoslav First League club FK Željezničar, where he played at youth levels for two years before having his professional debut at 17 years of age, in the squad which featured the Croatian international Mario Stanić. He then signed a four-year contract with the club, but his career took an unpredictable turn due to the outbreak of the Bosnian War. According to Karić, he had been arrested at gunpoint by the JNA in 1992 and was taken to Pale, the Serbian stronghold during the Siege of Sarajevo, where he was delivered as a prisoner to Serbian paramilitary forces., believing he was to be executed. Karić claims that his coach at Željezničar Nenad Starovlah had personally intervened to save Karić from execution, but on the condition that he signed a two-year contract with Serbian club FK Vojvodina based in Novi Sad.

Karić then spent the following six months playing at Vojvodina. He was seen as a talented young forward and there was some interest from Serbian powerhouse FK Partizan to sign him, but the deal never materialised as Vojvodina turned down the offer. Karić later claimed that he tried to leave Serbia on a number of occasions, but that he finally succeeded in doing so only when he met a friend who was a police officer who agreed to help him cross the border to Croatia. Upon his return to Croatia, Karić started playing for his hometown club NK Marsonia, which was at the time playing in the Croatian Second Division, and soon established himself as one of Marsonia's key players, along with Edin Mujčin. The team managed to put on a string of good performances in the following years which saw them win promotion to Croatian First Division in the 1993–94 season, and then going on to finish 5th in their top flight debut in the 1994–95 season.

His good games at Marsonia attracted attention from clubs abroad and Karić then joined Serie A side Torino in the winter break of the 1995–96 season. However, his time at Torino was less successful as he failed to make an impact in his six months with the club, which was relegated from top flight at the end of the season. Following relegation, Karić was loaned out to FC Lugano in Switzerland.

In 1997 Karić returned to Croatia and was signed by Prva HNL club. During his time at Varteks he established himself as one of the club's key players and appeared in 134 league matches, scoring 53 league goals, in the period in which Varteks reached three Croatian Cup finals (1998, 2002 and 2004) and achieved their best-ever league result, finishing third in the 2002–03 Prva HNL season. However, the highlight of his seven-year spell at Varteks came in September 2001 when they surprisingly knocked out England's Aston Villa in the first round first leg of the 2001–02 UEFA Cup, with Saša Bjelanović scoring two goals and Karić adding a third in their 3–2 win at Villa Park. In the return leg in Varaždin, Aston Villa won 1–0 but Varteks progressed to second round on away goals rule, where they were knocked out by Brøndby 6–3 on aggregate.

In July 2004 Karić signed for Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb. Although he was initially given some playing time and he even scored a goal against Elfsborg in the first round of the 2004–05 UEFA Cup, he failed to make an impact at the club and finished the season with just 4 goals scored in 12 league appearances for the Blues. It proved to be their worst ever Prva HNL season as they finished 6th and failed to qualify for European competitions.

In July 2005 he was released by Dinamo and he signed for minnows Inter Zaprešić. This proved to be his last season of top-level football as the club finished bottom in the 2005–06 Prva HNL and was relegated. He stayed with the club for the following season as they won the 2006–07 Druga HNL title which would see them back in top flight, but was released by Inter in July 2007 before the following season kicked off. He then spent the next two years playing for several small clubs in Croatian lower levels before being released from third-level side NK Samobor in May 2009, after which he retired from active football.

As of May 2011 and the conclusion of the 2010–11 Prva HNL season, Karić is ranked as the 11th all-time top scorer in Prva HNL with 75 goals scored in Croatia's top level.

International
Karić was also capped for Croatia U21 in 1994–95 and later appeared in three full international matches for Croatia between 2001 and 2003, without scoring any goals. He was first called up by Otto Barić and played in two friendly games against South Korea in November 2001. In the first match played on 10 November in Seoul he came on as a substitute for Miljenko Mumlek, and in the second match played three days later in Gwangju he was named in the starting lineup but was substituted by Mladen Petrić. His third and final appearance came in February 2003 when he was called up by Mirko Jozić for a friendly against Macedonia played in Šibenik. Karić was named in the starting eleven but was substituted by Boško Balaban at half-time.

Managerial career
In September 2011, Karić started his managerial career at the Croatian sixth tier side Drava Kuršanec. He was registered as a player for the club for the spring part of the season. He joined the Slovenian amateur side NK Ljutomer that summer, leaving the club in the winter period.

In the summer of 2013 he joined seventh-tier Dinamo Apatija, achieving promotion at the end of the season. His club emerged champions of their 6th tier league the following season, but weren't promoted, so Karić remained at that level for the 2015/2016 season.

In 2017, he played for Drava Kuršanec.

In 2018, he returned to play for the club founded in 2011 by fans, NK Varteks, which is not associated with the Varteks club, which folded in 2015, that he played for earlier in his career.

Oliver Crawford (August 12, 1917 – September 24, 2008) was an American screenwriter and author who overcame the Hollywood blacklist during the McCarthy Era of the 1950s to become one of the entertainment industry's most successful television writers. Shows that Crawford wrote for include Star Trek, Bonanza, Quincy, M.E., Perry Mason, and the Kraft Television Theatre.

Early life
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Crawford attended the Chicago Art Institute and the Goodman Theatre school. His classmates at Goodman included Sam Wanamaker and Karl Malden, both of whom became his lifelong friends.

Career
Crawford began working in the television industry as a writer in the early 1950s. By 1953, he had contracted to work with both Harold Hecht and Burt Lancaster. Shortly after he signed his contract to work with Lancaster, Crawford was summoned in 1953 to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was investigating suspected Communist sympathizers in Hollywood. Crawford refused to name suspected Communists sympathizers within the entertainment industry. His refusal to implicate anyone in Hollywood led to his blacklisting. He was also fired from his 1953 contract. He moved to New York City with his family after being blacklisted where he was forced to take several jobs to make ends meet, including designing window displays.

Crawford was finally able to return to television in 1957 when a friend, actor Sam Levene, got him a job as a writer for Playhouse 90. His career took off during the 1960s, when he wrote for many shows including Gilligan's Island, The Fugitive, The Outer Limits, The Rifleman, The Big Valley, Rawhide, Ben Casey, Lawman, and I Spy. His credits during the 1970s included Love, American Style, The Bionic Woman, Kojak, Mannix, Ironside, and numerous other television shows.

Crawford authored a 1978 novel, The Execution, which explored survivors of a Nazi concentration camp. who recognized a former Nazi doctor who had experimented on them and seek revenge. The novel was adapted into a 1985 television movie of the week, which starred Sandy Dennis, Loretta Swit, Rip Torn, Valerie Harper, Jessica Walter, and Barbara Barrie.

Crawford served on the board of directors of the Writers Guild of America for 26 years following the restoration of his screenwriting career. His position in the Writers Guild allowed him to advocate for financial restitution for victims of the Hollywood blacklist. Crawford also worked to successfully remove an anti-Communist loyalty oath from Writers Guild's membership application, which was a holdover from the Hollywood blacklist era.

For his work, Crawford received a Writers Guild award nomination for The Outer Limits. He was also a multiple Emmy Award nominated television writer, including for Lineup and Climax!. Crawford also lectured as an associate professor of filmmaking at Loyola Marymount University.

Death
On September 24, 2008, Crawford died from complications from pneumonia in Los Angeles at the age of 91. He is survived by two daughters, Jo Kaufman and Vicki Crawford, one brother, and one sister. His wife, Bert (née Pikus) died in 1986. His son, Kenneth Kaufman died in March, 2015.

"Bob Dylan Blues" is a song written in 1965 by Syd Barrett, the founder of Pink Floyd. Recorded during sessions for Barrett, it was unreleased until it turned up in 2001. The song was included in The Best of Syd Barrett.

Writing and recording
The song was supposedly written by Barrett after attending a concert in 1964. It's one of Barrett's very earliest songs written before he even had a publishing deal. This song, along with "Terrapin" and "Maisie", reflected Barrett's early interest in the blues.

The song was recorded on February 26, 1970, and was since largely forgotten about until David Gilmour unearthed the tape in his personal collection. It was released in 2001 on the Barrett compilation The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn't You Miss Me?.

Drentch is a Canadian Christian rock band which comes from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. They have released two independent albums, and are currently working on their third album. They played at YC (Youth Conference) in 2005, the largest Christian youth gathering in western Canada, held annually at Rexall Place in Edmonton.

Introduction
Drentch is a Canadian Christian/rock, concert and worship band that hails from Edmonton, Alberta. The group’s sound is mainly alternative rock.  However they are known to mix a blend of different genres in their albums, such as the aforementioned alternative rock to occasionally softer ballad style songs. The group has four main members, two brothers, their cousin, and a long-time family friend, that have been playing together for a number of years, prior to officially becoming the band known as Drentch.

History
The beginnings of Drentch were already set in motion as eventual members Mark, Graden and Derek Steinbrenner and friend Darcy Anhorn typically played for the worship services at their hometown church in north Edmonton, where the Steinbrenner brothers' father is a pastor. They first officially formed the band in 2000. However, the name of the band was initially quite different, being Crimson Shadow. However this name did not last, as of November, 2000, the band started accepting suggestions for a new name.  The members eventually reached a consensus on the name Drentch.

The band’s fan base is strongly based on the youth and young adult audience from which they draw much of the inspiration for their music. The band remains unsigned, and yet they have already released 3 independent albums titled "Everything", "Symphony of Tears" and "take control" produced in Nashville by Ainslie Grosser, Joel Smallbone and Drentch themselves.

As far as musical styling, the band not only depends on driving guitar riffs but also utilizes piano, strings, full orchestra, dramatic electric guitar pickings and a variety of other instrumental styles. The lead vocal styling also ranges from more alternative rock sounds to even slower ballad style songs. All the while, the band still maintains their original mission on using music as praise and creating a contemporary ministry in the form of music to a youthful audience.

Members
The four members are brothers, Mark and Graden Steinbrenner, their cousin Derek Steinbrenner and longtime family friend Darcy Anhorn.
Mark Steinbrenner: Vocals, keys, acoustic/electric guitar
Graden Steinbrenner:Bass
Derek Steinbrenner: Lead guitar
Darcy Anhorn: Drums

Guido von Mengden (1896–1982) was a German Sports officer. He was a key figure in the Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund für Leibesübungen (NSRL), the Sports Office of the Third Reich.

His role as a Nazi is the subject of controversy. Historian Hajo Bernett blames him for being one of the main culprits regarding the politization (i.e. nazification) of German sports during the Third Reich.

Others believe though that thanks to him some valuable German sports associations were preserved. Guido von Mengden has been praised as the "spiritual father" of many post-war sports programs and German sports leader Carl Diem has mentioned him as "one of the most significant Sports leaders in Europe" for his work after 1950.

Biographical data
Guido von Mengden was born in the town of Düren in the Prussian Rhine Province in 1896. His family hailed from the ancient Westphalian nobility. He played football (soccer) as a teenager in the Bonner FV team. in 1914 he passed his Reifeprüfung final exams in Bonn and went to World War I as a volunteer. He was discharged from the German Imperial Army after being badly wounded in June 1916 at Verdun and went on to study geodesy at the University of Bonn. He found employment as a land surveyor from 1919 until 1924, when he changed profession and became a journalist. He became an editor of the Art and sports sections of the Rheydter Tageblatt. In 1925 he moved to the Westdeutscher Spielverband as manager, becoming also the chief editor of its social organ Fußball und Leichtathletik. He had a role in the 1928 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam as a press delegate.

In May 1933 Guido von Mengden became a member of the German Nazi Party. He went to Berlin in June 1933 as a press attaché of the German Football Association. From 1935 he was the public relations officer of the NSRL, the Reich Sports Office. He became the personal advisor and consultant of Reichssportführer Hans von Tschammer und Osten in 1936, and subsequently became the chief editor of NS-Sport, the official organ of the Reich Sports Office.

Towards the last days of World War II, von Mengden became a member of the Volkssturm National Militia.

Los Jardines or Los Buenos Jardines (Spanish for "the good gardens") are phantom islands supposedly located northeast of the Mariana Islands.

The islands were reportedly visited by Spanish explorers Álvaro de Saavedra Cerón (who named them Los Buenos Jardines) in 1528 and Ruy López de Villalobos (who called them Los Jardines) in 1542.  Sighted again by John Marshall in 1788, they were purported to be part of an Anson Archipelago, which included other phantom islands such as Ganges Island as well as real islands such as Wake and Marcus Islands.  In 1973, the International Hydrographic Organization removed them from its charts.

The Leggenda di Messer Gianni di Procida ("Legend of Mister John of Procida") is a short medieval Tuscan history of the Sicilian Vespers, synoptic with another early Tuscan account, the Liber Jani de Procida et Palialoco. Both texts focus on the conspiratorial role played by John of Procida, who is cast as a villain. A contemporaneous Sicilian writing, Lu rebellamentu di Sichilia, portrays John as a hero. Both Tuscan versions are later than the Sicilian, but may share the Reballamentu as a source. Conversely, all three may derive from an earlier, now lost source. All three agree on the centrality of John of Procida in the Vespers.

The Leggenda was probably written by a Guelph of Modena. Sicilian folklorist Giuseppe Pitrè first suggested that the Leggenda may have influenced the Florentine Nuova Cronica of Giovanni Villani, but a critical study by German historian Otto Hartwig soon dismissed this. The Leggenda is conserved in a Modenese manuscript. It was published by Lodovico Antonio Muratori in his Raccolta degli storici Italiani, XXXIV.

Ndidi Onukwulu is a Canadian singer-songwriter born in British Columbia. Although her style is often classified as jazz and blues, Onukwulu combines several musical genres in her songs including surf music, electric blues, gospel, and country. She has frequently toured across Canada and Europe in support of her records.

Life
Although Onukwulu never had any interest in music at an early age and she did not consider a career as a singer until her friends heard her sing in her early adult years. She moved to New York City, where she sang on the open-mic circuit. During her time in New York, she met several hip-hop and blues musicians who influenced her atypical style. Next Onukwulu moved to Toronto where she first became a member of a rock band. Later, she joined the electronica group Stop Die Resuscitate.
Eventually, Onukwulu moved back to a more definitively blues style and began performing at prominent venues including Massey Hall in Toronto. In January 2006 Onukwulu released her first album No, I Never. The album release was followed by a tour that garnered positive buzz in the Canadian blues community.

Following a bad break-up in December 2006, Onukwulu spent 2007 composing new music. In addition to drawing on the experiences of her relationship, she found inspiration by visiting cemeteries and imagining stories for the deceased people whose graves she visited. Onukwulu united the ideas of death and the end of relationships to create the eclectic music featured on her second album The Contradictor. This album introduced the more diverse styles for which she is now known. The album got its name from the contradiction between the upbeat music and its more serious themes, in addition to elements of the singer's own personality. The Contradictor, released on June 17, 2008, was produced by Steve Dawson under the Indie record label Jericho Beach Music.
She then went on to Europe, where she signed a deal with Universal Jazz and Classics France and went on to write and record two additional albums " The Escape"  2011 and "Dark Swing" 2014

The Duwamish Number 1 Site, also known as 45KI23, is an archaeological site on the Duwamish River in Seattle, Washington discovered by David Munsell, an archaeologist employed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in November 1975. The site was excavated by archaeologists in 1978, and again in 1986.

According to an archaeologic report released in 1981, the site was a shell midden and village between 670 and 1700 CE, comprising four separate eras of occupation. The researchers also found remains of ducks, as well as of mammals such as deer and elk.

The site is owned by the Port of Seattle.

Woodhill is a locality in the Auckland Region of New Zealand. It is in the Western Ward of the Rodney District. Woodhill is approximately 6 kilometres northwest of Waimauku and 10 km south of Helensville on State Highway 16. The North Auckland Line passes through the area. The Woodhill Forest lies to the west.

History

The railway line reached Woodhill in the 1880s, and allowed expansion of the existing farming settlement. Ambury's Creamery shipped the cream by rail to be made into butter in Auckland. A post office was established, and a store opened up opposite the creamery, becoming a social centre until it was destroyed by fire about 1970. The Woodhill Hall was another centre for social gatherings. It contained a library in the late 1920s, and was also used for church services.

In the 1920s, planting of trees to reclaim the sand dunes to the west brought forestry workers to the settlement, and a pine tree nursery was created in Woodhill in 1934. A settlement was created on the hill for the workers and their families. After the forest was privatised in 1987, this settlement disappeared.

Education
Woodhill School is a coeducational full primary (years 1-8) school with a decile rating of 6 and a roll of  (). The school celebrated its 126-year reunion in 2003. The school was one of the earliest established in West Auckland. Many children from as far away as Swanson would commute to Woodhill, until the Swanson School was established in 1888.

The Californians is a half-hour Western television series, set during the California Gold Rush of the 1850s, which was broadcast by NBC from September 24, 1957, to May 26, 1959, for 69 episodes.

Cast
The series was set in San Francisco. Adam Kennedy starred in the first year in early episodes as Dion Patrick, an Irish newspaperman who helps the local vigilante committee.  Season one episodes also featured Sean McClory as store owner Jack McGivern, who headed the vigilante committee and Nan Leslie as his wife, Martha McGivern.  Early season one episodes featured Herbert Rudley as newspaper editor Sam Brennan but Jack McGivern later took over the newspaper. Due to sagging ratings, Richard Coogan was brought in in later season one episodes; his introduction boosted ratings, and led to the departure of Kennedy and McCrory. In season two, Coogan stars as Matthew Wayne, a sheriff and then marshal who organizes the city police, courts a young widow, Wilma Fansler, portrayed by Carole Mathews, and clashes with an ambitious attorney, Jeremy Pitt, played by Art Fleming, later the original host of Jeopardy!.  At the end of season two, Matt departs when the vigilante committee becomes active again, and the last episode has James Coburn as Matt's cousin, Anthony "(Pittsburgh)" Wayne, taking over as deputy marshal and series lead; however, the show was not renewed for a third season.

Bermudian cuisine reflects a rich and diverse history and heritage blending British and Portuguese cuisine with preparations of local seafood species, particularly wahoo and rockfish. Traditional dishes include codfish and potatoes served either with an add on of hard boiled egg and butter or olive oil sauce with a banana or in the Portuguese style with tomato-onion sauce, peas and rice. Hoppin' John, pawpaw casserole and fish chowder are also specialties of Bermuda. As most ingredients used in Bermuda's cuisine are imported, local dishes are offered with a global blend, with fish as the major ingredient, in any food eaten at any time.

Main dishes

There are several dishes served on Bermuda that are unique to the island which offer a taste of traditional Bermudian culture. Fish is one of the main ingredients in Bermudian cuisine. Local fish includes mahi mahi, snapper, spiny lobster (during September–March), tuna, and wahoo. These are used in dishes such as fish and chips, panfried fish, and  boiled salted codfish and potato, a traditional dish in Bermuda (usually served on Sundays with tomato sauce and olive oil).

Bermuda fish chowder is considered a national dish, which is a staple food not only in restaurants and hotels but also in homes; the main ingredients are fish stock, fish, vegetables and bacon fat. It is served with spices, as well as black rum and sherry peppers. Beef stock is an essential ingredient in Bermudian fish chowder. Sherry pepper is prepared with ripe and very hot bird peppers using sherry for marinating it, and supplemented with herbs and spices; and black rum is rum derived by blackening with molasses in a special barrel for aging.

The specialty in some restaurants during the weekend is a codfish brunch. It is a large serving of full blown codfish, boiled and steamed with salt, and with boiled potatoes, onions, and sliced bananas. The topping is with a hard-boiled egg or tomato sauce, and, also occasionally with avocado slices.

Appetizers served are shark hash and Codfish cakes. Shark hash is minced shark meat, sautéed with spices, and served on toast. Codfish cake is made out of salted cod mash (smashed) and with cooked potatoes and fresh thyme and parsley. Then, it is formed made in to patty and fried on a pan. It is also served with topping of a "zesty fruit salsa and a side of mesclun salad" sandwiched in a white bun with mayonnaise.

Fruits and vegetables
Almost every type of vegetable can be grown in Bermuda. Growers provide cabbage, celery, cucumbers, French beans, green peas, carrots, parsnips, radishes, and turnips for local tables. Flax, capsicums and peppers are also locally grown and incorporated in local cuisine. English onions arrived in Bermuda around 1616 where they became known as Bermuda Onions. The Bermudans make use of the abundance of locally grown fruits in fruit salads, incorporating strawberries, loquats, grapefruit, watermelon, papaya, cassava, and Suriname cherries.

For vegetarians, the choice is very limited to dishes prepared with fresh Bermuda carrots, onions, potatoes, and green beans but without any meat.

Breads and desserts

Corn bread, originating in Mexico and sweet Easter bread, originating in the British West Indies are incorporated into menus. Bananas are versatile in local cuisine, and may be used to make banana crumble and desserts made from  strawberries and cherries, fried as fritters, or flamed in rum. Desserts with bananas are also baked in rum and brown sugar. Jelly-roll or sponge cake, served with peaches or strawberries, bananas, custard, chopped nuts, and whipped cream and soaked in sherry is also a common dessert. Another notable Bermudian dessert is the restaurant Fresco's chocolate mousse cake, which is served fresh out of the oven with roasted almonds, toffee, marshmallow ice cream, and pistachio creme.

Holidays and festivals

Sweet potato pudding makes use of cinnamon, cloves, and lemon or orange juice, and is especially popular on Guy Fawkes Night. Hot cross buns with codfish cakes are a Good Friday fare. Dating to 1612, cassava pie is a Christmas dinner specialty, combining chicken or pork with eggs, brandy and sweet pastry. However, this dish is now offered as a side dish in restaurants on any day. Though every Bermudian family follows its individual recipe, cassava pie includes grated cassava, butters, eggs, salt and sugar. While beef and pork were initially added to chicken for the pie filling, beef and pork are no longer favored. Mussel pie is also a common dish. Its ingredients are shelled mussels, potatoes, and onions. It is served baked and seasoned with thyme, parsley, and curry. Bermuda's Culinary Arts Festival occurs in November and features celebrity seminars as well as gourmet food demonstrations and tastings.

The Swiss Leader Index (SLI) is an index comprising large and mid-cap companies primarily listed on SIX Swiss Exchange. It is made up of 30 of the largest and most liquid Swiss Performance Index (SPI) large- and mid-cap stocks. As a price index, the SLI is not adjusted for dividends, but there exists a total-return version as well.

The SLI was introduced on July 2, 2007 and computed back to December 30, 1999, with a baseline value of 1,000 points on this starting date.

The capping model of the SLI makes it suitable as a benchmark for a broader range of products and markets than other indices offered by SIX Swiss Exchange, because it is compatible with regulatory requirements in the European Union as well as in the United States. With its 9/4.5 caps, the SLI is more diversified, and its risk/return profile is more tilted towards smaller capitalizations, than other indices such as the SMI and SPI.

In 2020, the SLI, along with other SIX indices, was endorsed under the EU Benchmarks Regulation and is registered in ESMA, which means that it can be used as an underlying for financial products sold in the EU.

Rules

Universe
The SLI comprises the 20 securities of the SMI, as well as the largest 10 securities in the SMI MID.

Capped weightings
The largest four components of the SLI are capped at 9%. All other components, if necessary, are capped at 4.5%. The caps are enforced with a multiplication factor that is updated every three months.

This was made to conform the SLI to the EU's UCITS 5/10/40 rule, which says that:
 The value of any single position cannot be more than 10% of the fund's value, and
 all positions that are larger than 5% of the fund's value cannot, together, make up more than 40% of the fund's value.

Current constituents

As of September 20, 2021, the following 30 stocks make up the SLI index. Components marked as 1 have a 9% weight as of September 18, 2020.  Sizes are based on the SPI classification by market capitalization: L for SPI Large, M for SPI Mid.

The Marymoor Prehistoric Indian Site is the site of an archaeological dig in Marymoor Park, Redmond, Washington. After King County bought the property in 1962, the site was one of four sites in the park considered for excavation. The dig began in 1964, and continued for four years.

The dig revealed two separate periods of occupation of the site, which is adjacent to the Sammamish River. The first period was around 4,000 B.C.E., and is thought to have been a seasonal camp. In this layer, researchers found stone tools, including spear/arrow points. The second period of occupation was around 1,000 BCE, and appears to have been a more permanent camp. The stone tools found in this layer are from a more varied array of stone than the basalt of the older layer. Much of the stone had to have been traded from the Eastern side of the Cascade Mountains, as they do not occur naturally on the Western side.

Many of the items were exhibited in the Marymoor Museum, which was at the park until King County evicted it 2002. Other items were sent to the Burke Museum at the University of Washington.

Redmond Town Center site

In 2008, during a routine archaeological survey conducted as part of a stream restoration project, stone artifacts were discovered at Bear Creek, between Marymoor Park and nearby Redmond Town Center shopping mall. In 2009–2014, more artifacts were discovered beneath a layer of peat, including stone flakes, scrapers, awls and spear points. An announcement was made in 2015 that they were the oldest stone tools discovered in Western Washington, after the peat was determined by Carbon-14 dating to have been deposited 10,000 years ago.

Joseph Anthony Lis (August 15, 1946 – October 17, 2010), was an American professional baseball first baseman, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies (–), Minnesota Twins (–), Cleveland Indians (–), and Seattle Mariners (). He also played one season for the Kintetsu Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), in . During his playing days, Lis stood 6 feet (1.83 m) tall, weighing ; he batted and threw right-handed.

Born in Somerville, New Jersey and raised in nearby Manville, he moved with his family to Hillsborough Township as a pre-teen and attended Somerville High School, where he played both basketball and baseball.

Signed as an undrafted free agent in 1964 by the Philadelphia Phillies out of high school, when he was 17.

Lis entered the majors in 1970 with the Philadelphia Phillies, playing for them three years before joining the Minnesota Twins (1973–1974), Cleveland Indians (1974–1976), and Seattle Mariners (1977). He had been traded along with Ken Sanders and Ken Reynolds by the Phillies to the Twins for César Tovar on December 1, 1972. While relegated to playing mainly first base as a big leaguer, he also played left field, right field, third base, and even caught in one game.

Nevertheless, Lis never translated his minor league success into a full-time job in the major leagues. His most productive MLB season was 1973, with Minnesota, when he posted career-high numbers in homers (nine), runs batted in (RBI) (25), and games played (103), as a replacement for injured Harmon Killebrew.

"America's Suitehearts" is a song by American rock band Fall Out Boy and the second single taken from their fourth studio album, Folie à Deux (2008). Initially released to iTunes in promotion before the album's release, "America's Suitehearts" was later serviced to radio on January 20, 2009. A demo/snippet titled "America's Sweethearts" was included on the band's mixtape, Welcome to the New Administration, as part of their viral campaign in promotion of their record. The music video was unveiled at 3PM on January 1, 2009 on The N. Bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz commented that the song was about society's fixation with celebrities. The music was composed by vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump.

The song has been performed on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, at the MTV Inaugural Celebration and in February 2009 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The song debuted at No. 44 in late December 2008 in Australia on the ARIA Singles Chart, and in early 2009 reached its peak of No. 26, becoming the seventh consecutive top 30 single for Fall Out Boy in that region. "America's Suitehearts" also debuted at No. 78 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and received minor pop radio airplay to reach No. 30 on Pop Songs but failed to place on Alternative Songs. It peaked at No. 76 on the UK Singles Chart.

The backing vocals in the song have been compared to groups such as The Beatles.

Music video

The video for the song, released January 6, 2009, involves various people being drastically changed by the media and paparazzi, which is what the song is said to be about. Hey Monday lead singer Cassadee Pope makes an appearance in the video. Clips of the band performing in exaggerated circus costumes on a carousel are shown throughout the video.

Wentz also stated that the music video was inspired by director Federico Fellini, as well as the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Each band member's costume represents a character from various lyrics on Folie à Deux:
Stump: Dr. Benzedrine (Mr. Benzedrine from "20 Dollar Nose Bleed")
Wentz: Mr. Sandman (from "Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet")
Hurley: Donnie the Catcher (from "What a Catch, Donnie")
Trohman: Horse Shoe Crab (from "The (Shipped) Gold Standard")

Remix
On March 30, the official remix, called the hip-hop remix, leaked out featuring rappers Joe Budden, 88-Keys and Murs. In the song, the rappers discuss the politics of the music industry, with Fall Out Boy vocalist Patrick Stump singing the chorus. Another remix leaked soon after which featured Lil Wayne as well as a remix made by Mark Hoppus. The Mark Hoppus remix appears on the EP America's Suitehearts: Remixed, Retouched, Rehabbed and Retoxed.

ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbbās al-Baghdadi (923–1023) () also known as Abū Ḥayyān al-Tawḥīdī () was an Arab or Persian and one of the most influential intellectuals and thinkers of the 10th century. Yāqūt al-Ḥamawī described him as "the philosopher of litterateurs and the litterateur of philosophers." However, he was neglected and ignored by the historians of his era. This neglect continued until Yāqūt wrote his book Muʿjam al-Udabāʾ (), which contained a biographical outline of at-Tawḥīdī, relying primarily on what al-Tawḥīdī had written about himself.

Life
There are differing views on the dates of al-Tawḥīdī's birth and death. According to Tārīkh-i Sistān, he was born in 923 Near Baghdad or Fars. Al-Tawḥīdī had a difficult childhood. He was born into a poor family who sold dates called tawḥīd (hence his surname), and spent much of his childhood as an orphan in the care of his uncle, who treated him poorly.

After completing his studies, al-Tawḥīdī worked as a scribe for various parties in various cities in the Muslim world. His last known regular assignment was for Ebn Saʿdān, for whom he worked from 980 until Saʿdān's execution in 985. During this time, he was a member of a literary circle centred around Abū Solaymān Manṭeqī Seǰestānī. Most of what is known about the circle is through al-Tawḥīdī's writings.

After Saʿdān's execution, al-Tawḥīdī doesn't appear to have had regular work as a scribe, although he continued to write. During his final twenty years of life, he lived in poverty. He is known to have been alive in 1009, and likely died in 1023 in Shiraz.

Works
Al-Tawḥīdī was highly critical of himself and dissatisfied with much of his work. He burned many of his own books later in his life. Nevertheless, he left a set of literary, philosophical, and Sufi works, which were distinctive in the history of the Arabic literature. His most important works are:
Al-Baṣā’ir wa al-Dhakhā’ir
Al-Hawamil wa al-Shawamil
Al-Imtāʿ wa al-Mu’ānasa, Book of Enjoyment and Bonhomie, is a collection of anecdotes and includes a chapter on zoology possibly based on Timotheus of Gaza's book on animals.
Al-Isharat al-Ilahiyya
Al-Muqabasat
Al-Sadaqa wa al-Sadiq
Mathalib al-Wazirain, Book on the Foibles of the Two Ministers, which is a commentary on the political and cultural infighting of his day. It was translated into English in 2023 by Noussaiba Roussi affiliated with Abdelmaled Essaadi University under the title: The Vices of The Two Viziers.

The Valley District was an organization of the Confederate States Army and subsection of the Department of Northern Virginia during the American Civil War, responsible for operations between the Blue Ridge Mountains and Allegheny Mountains of Virginia.  It was created on October 22, 1861, and was surrendered by the authority of Gen. Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.

Background

The Valley District was created to administer various home guard and military units and armies which operated in the Shenandoah Valley.  The first forces organized in this area prior to the creation of the Valley District were the Forces In and About Harper's Ferry, Virginia, which existed from April 18, 1861, to June 15, 1861.  The Forces In and About Harper's Ferry were originally under the Virginia State Militia, and were placed under three commanders during that time.  Maj. Gen. Kenton Harper (Virginia State Militia) commanded from April 18 to April 28, then command fell to Col. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's (Virginia State Militia) from April 28 to May 24, and finally the forces were transferred to the Confederate States Army and Brig. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston from May 24 to June 15, 1861.

From June 15 to October 22, military organization in the Shenandoah Valley came under local leadership until the Department of Northern Virginia. It was created on October 22, 1861, as Johnston prepared defenses in Northern Virginia.  The Valley District was defined as the area between the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Alleghenies and extended south from the Potomac River to the vicinity of Staunton, Virginia and covered an area of roughly five thousand square miles.

Three districts were created under the Department of Northern Virginia were:

The Aquia District
First commander: Maj. Gen. Theophilus H. Holmes
Period of existence: October 22, 1861 to April 18, 1862
The Potomac District
First commander: Gen. Pierre G. T. Beauregard
Period of existence: October 22, 1861 to January 29, 1862
The Valley District
First commander: Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson
Period of existence: October 22, 1861 to April 9, 1865,

While the Aquia and Potomac Districts ceased to exist by the spring of 1862, the need remained for military organization in the Valley throughout the remainder of the war.

1864

During 1864, while under the command of Lt. Gen. Jubal Early, the Valley District operated its own independent army, the Army of the Valley, which was essentially composed of the Second Corps, Army of Northern Virginia.  The Second Corps was detached from Lee's main army to invade, threaten and assault Washington, D.C., on the hopes of drawing forces away from Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant's forces, and thereby relieving pressure on his siege around Richmond, and Petersburg, Virginia.

Godfrey Alexander Oldfield (10 October 1923 – 4 July 1985), known as George Oldfield, was a British police detective who finished his career as an Assistant Chief Constable with West Yorkshire Police.  He is known for leading inquiries by the force into major crimes, including the M62 coach bombing and the 'Yorkshire Ripper' series of murders.  The latter inquiry put great strain on his health.

Early life
Oldfield was born and raised in the farming community of Monk Fryston, a small village in the West Riding of Yorkshire a few miles from Castleford. His siblings included twin brothers. He attended Archbishop Holgate's School in York. During his time there he became known by the name George, as he had disliked his birth name of 'Godfrey'. Throughout his life his family called him 'Goff'. In 1954 Oldfield married Margaret Curtis; they had four children, one of whom died of leukaemia.

Oldfield joined the West Riding Police in 1947, specialising in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), where he rose through the ranks.

Notable criminal cases

M62 bombing
In February 1974, Oldfield, then a Detective Chief Superintendent and head of the West Yorkshire CID, took command of the investigation into an Irish Republican Army bomb which killed 12 people travelling on board a coach carrying members of the British armed services and their families on the M62 motorway on 4 February. He immediately made contact with the Garda Síochána and ordered forensic tests on the wreckage on the motorway.  On 19 February the investigation charged Judith Ward with the bombing after she confessed and Griess tests on her hands indicated contact with explosives. Although she later retracted her confession, Ward was convicted of the bombing on 4 November 1974 and sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment.

The success of obtaining a conviction and heavy sentence for Ward provided a significant boost to Oldfield's reputation, and on 27 May 1976 he was promoted to be Assistant Chief Constable for Crime at West Yorkshire Police. Several years after Oldfield's death, Ward's conviction was overturned as the forensic tests were discredited and her confession found to be the product of mental illness. In overturning the conviction, the Court of Appeal strongly criticised Oldfield for not disclosing a series of interviews with Ward to her defence team.

Yorkshire Ripper inquiry
As Assistant Chief Constable, Oldfield took the lead in the police inquiry when, starting in 1975, several women were found murdered or horrifically injured in Leeds and Bradford. When new attacks were linked with the same inquiry, Oldfield confirmed that the police believed they were being committed by the same man. From the fact that the murderer attacked and mutilated women, some of whom were associated with prostitution, the nickname "Yorkshire Ripper" came to be applied to that person. Oldfield devoted himself to investigating these crimes, working long hours and taking little leave.

In June 1979, at a press conference Oldfield publicised a tape recording and letters received by the police in which Wearside Jack, a hoaxer, taunted Oldfield personally for being unable to catch him and claimed to be the murderer. Oldfield was convinced that the real murderer had been in contact and spent a great deal of time in the Northeast around Sunderland, as the accent of the man on the tape was determined to come from the Castletown area in the town.

On 6 August 1979 Oldfield was taken ill with what was then described as a chest infection. He was off work for more than four months.  When he returned it was acknowledged that he had had a heart attack and did not return to the Ripper investigation.

The arrest of Peter Sutcliffe by South Yorkshire Police in Sheffield in January 1981 led to the discovery that he was the Yorkshire Ripper. Sutcliffe was from West Yorkshire and had no connection to Sunderland. Hence, it became apparent that the letters and tape had been a distraction from the hunt for the murderer. Oldfield did not attend Sutcliffe's trial at the Old Bailey in London; he still believed, although Sutcliffe had not written the letters or read the taped message, that there was a strong connection between them and the murder inquiry.

On 5 June 1981, Oldfield was transferred from the CID to take charge of operational support. West Yorkshire Police insisted that he was not being sacked or demoted but moved to less onerous duties due to his health. In February 1982, he was moved to be Assistant Chief Constable in charge of the Western Division, based at Bradford.

Retirement and death
In 1983, Oldfield had a second heart attack and was off work for several months.  During this time, Chief Constable Ronald Gregory praised his officers who had worked hard and whose health had suffered under the pressure, including media criticism. The remark was interpreted as referring principally to Oldfield. It was announced in July 1983 that Oldfield was to retire at the end of August due to ill health.

Oldfield died on 4 July 1985, aged 61, at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, of congestive heart failure.
