The Treaty of Kremmen was signed on 20 June 1236 by Duke Wartislaw III of Pomerania, recognizing the seigniory of the Brandenburg margraves over his Duchy of Pomerania-Demmin, and ceding the terrae Stargard, Wustrow and Beseritz to Brandenburg.

Background
After the Danish defeat at the 1227 Battle of Bornhöved, the Griffin dukes of Pomerania had lost their allies against the rising power of their Brandenburg neighbours in the south. In 1231 Emperor Frederick II had confirmed the seigniory of the Ascanian margraves John I and Otto III of Brandenburg. At the same time the Mecklenburg dukes campaigned the Circipane lands in the west, while the eastern territory of Schlawe-Stolp was occupied by Duke Swietopelk II of Pomerelia.

To ease the tensions with Brandenburg, Duke Wartislaw entered into the Kremmen agreement. He also stipulated the escheat (reversion) of his Pomeranian lands, would he die without heirs.

Oscar Lee Gobern (born 26 January 1991) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Havant & Waterlooville.

He played at EFL Championship level for Southampton, Huddersfield Town and Queens Park Rangers, as well as playing in the Scottish Premiership with Ross County. He also played in the Football League for Milton Keynes Dons, Chesterfield, Doncaster Rovers, Mansfield Town and Yeovil Town, before moving into non-league football with Eastleigh, Dover Athletic and Havant & Waterlooville. He has been capped once by the England U19's.

Career

Southampton
Gobern was born in Birmingham and joined the Southampton F.C. Academy after a brief spell with Aston Villa. He made his league début as a substitute at Deepdale against Preston North End on 1 November 2008, as the "Saints" came from 2–0 down to claim a 3–2 victory.

After making seven appearances the season earlier, Gobern made his first appearance of the 2009–10 season in a 1–1 draw with Millwall, making a further two appearances for the Saints before, on 17 September, he was loaned out to fellow League One side Milton Keynes Dons on a one-month deal, making his debut as a 24th-minute substitute against Walsall on 14 October. After the match, manager Paul Ince commented "We had a young lad in Oscar Gobern playing left-back, who I thought did a fantastic job." Gobern also made a brief appearance as an 89th-minute substitute against Gillingham on 17 October, when he played alongside his elder brother, Lewis, for the first time in a professional match, before returning to Southampton after making just two appearances for the Dons. He went on to make a further four appearances for the Saints that season.

Gobern's first goal in his professional career came in the 87th minute for Southampton against Cheltenham Town, in the FA Cup second round on 27 November 2010. He received his first professional red card in a 3–1 victory at Bournemouth. His first professional league goal for Southampton came on 30 April 2011 in stoppage time of a 3–0 victory at Brentford. Gobern made a total of 13 appearances for Nigel Adkins' side during the 2010–11 season as the Saints gained automatic promotion to the Football Championship, with Gobern's scoring two goals.

Huddersfield Town
On 19 June 2011, it was announced that Gobern was set to join League One club Huddersfield Town, having failed to agree a new deal at Southampton when his contract expired at the conclusion of the 2010–11 season. He signed a two-year deal with the Terriers on 1 July, and his compensation fee was decided by a tribunal on 5 September 2011 as £275,000, rising to £400,000 on appearances. He made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Bury at the Galpharm Stadium on 6 August 2011. His first goal for the Terriers came in the 3–0 win over Sheffield United at Brammall Lane on 13 September 2011. Gobern scored his second goal of the season in the club's 6–0 thrashing of Wycombe Wanderers away in January 2012, with teammate Jordan Rhodes scoring the other five. Gobern made 21 league appearances in 2011–12, scoring twice, and made a total of 25 appearances in all competitions. He helped Huddersfield secure promotion to the Championship, as the club finished the season as League One play-off winners, beating Sheffield United at Wembley Stadium.

In 2012–13, Gobern's season was disrupted by injury, with him not featuring for the Terriers until late February 2013. However, he became a key part of the side that avoided relegation and was subsequently offered a new 3-year deal, which he accepted, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2016.

Having become out of favour at Huddersfield, on 23 October 2014, Gobern joined Chesterfield on an initial one-month loan deal. The loan was ended early on 12 November.

Following's Dover's decision to not play any more matches in the 2020–21 season, made in late January, and subsequent null and voiding of all results, on 5 May 2021 it was announced that Gobern was out of contract and had left the club.

Havant & Waterlooville
In August 2021, Gobern joined National League South side Havant & Waterlooville, linking up with former-Dover teammates Josh Passley and Paul Rooney who had both also joined the club that summer.

The Treaty of Landin was signed in Landin, Germany in 1250 between Barnim I of Pomerania-Stettin, the Ascanian margraves Johann I and Otto III of Brandenburg. Barnim I was accepted as co-ruler of Wartislaw III of Pomerania-Demmin by the Margraviate of Brandenburg, thereby hindering Brandenburg's succession in Pomerania-Demmin as was ruled out in the 1236 Treaty of Kremmen. Instead of the margraves, Barnim I integrated what was left of Pomerania-Demmin, after the territorial losses of 1236 into his Stettin-based duchy. The terra Wolgast within the Duchy of Pomerania, which was to be inherited by the Margraves, was exchanged for Pomeranian-held northern parts of the Uckermark. Barnim also accepted to be a Brandenburgian vassal.

Gasolina (Gasoline) is a 2008 Guatemalan independent film written and directed by Julio Hernández Cordón.

She also chaired the Students' Council, from 1961 to 1962. In 1965 she took the cand.paed. degree. She was a lecturer at the State Teacher Training College for Special Education from 1965 to 1972 and lecturer at the University of Tromsø from 1972 to 1978.

In 1975 she became an approved psychologist. From 1978 to 1984 she was a researcher at the Institute of Work Psychology at the Work Research Institutes.

However, her career as a researcher was interrupted by her political career. She was originally a member of the Labour Party, but as leader of the Socialist Student Group she was excluded in 1959 together with most of the group, because they were opposed to the Labour Party's western-aligned foreign policy and Norway's NATO membership. She co-founded the Socialist People's Party in 1961. She was secretary for the party parliamentary group from 1962 to 1963, and served as a deputy representative to the Parliament of Norway during the term 1965–1969. In 1971 she was elected member of Oslo city council, and from 1973 to 1977 she was a member of Parliament for the constituency Akershus. During this term she served as the President of the Lagting - Upper House and deputy chair of the Standing Committee on Justice. She was delegate for Norway to the UN General Assembly (1974) and delegate for Norway to the World Conference for the International Women's Year (1975). She was the first woman President of the Lagting.

From 1984 to 1986 Skard was Director for Questions relating to the Status of Women in UNESCO, Paris. She was then deputy under-secretary of state of the Norwegian Ministry of Development Cooperation from 1986 to 1989. When that Ministry was merged into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Skard retained her position as deputy under-secretary of state there. She was the first woman deputy under-secretary of state in both these Ministries. In 1991 she was promoted to assisting permanent under-secretary of state for development cooperation in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a position she held until 1994. From 1994 to 1998 she was Regional Director for West and Central Africa at UNICEF in Abidjan. She was Chairman of the UNICEF Executive Board at the international level from 1988 to 1989. She was a special adviser at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1999 to 2003, and a senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs until 2011. She has also lectured on Leadership, Women and the UN at the United Nations System Staff College.

Skard served as president of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights (NKF) from 2006 to 2013. She has also been a deputy member of the Cultural Council in Norway (1965–1968), board member of the Student Union in Oslo (1962–1966), board member of People's Movement against the European Community (1970–1973), local leader in the Norwegian Civil Service Union (1981–1982) and deputy chair of the Forum for Women and Development (FOKUS).

Edward Bagshaw (Bagshawe), the younger (1629–1671) was an English Nonconformist minister and theologian, known as a controversialist. His sympathies were with the fringe Independent sects of the Commonwealth period, and after the English Restoration of 1660 his life was embattled. Richard Baxter criticized Bagshaw as "an Anabaptist, Fifth Monarchy man, and a Separatist".

Life
His father Edward Bagshawe was a lawyer and politician. Henry Bagshaw (1632–1709) was his brother.

He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where John Locke was also, when Bagshaw was a Student (i.e. Fellow of the college). Locke's Two Tracts on Government, representing more orthodox views of the time, were intended as replies to Bagshaw's views on religious toleration, published as The Great Question concerning things indifferent in religious worship in 1659.

A position teaching at Westminster School  in 1656 ended badly when he quarreled with headmaster  Richard Busby. He was ordained in 1659 by Ralph Brownrigg, and became vicar at Ambrosden, but was soon ejected for non-conformity.

A large and acrimonious pamphlet literature grew up around Bagshaw, some of it generated by his hostility to George Morley, the Restoration bishop of Worcester (translated in 1662 to Winchester), and Dean of Christ Church from 1660. He was chaplain to Arthur Annesley, 1st Earl of Anglesey in 1661. He then spent a time imprisoned in the Tower of London, from early 1663. He was attacked in print by Roger L'Estrange.

In the last year of his life he published a biography of Vavasor Powell. To the end he was also arguing out the separatist case against Richard Baxter, who hoped to keep dissenters (apart from the extremes) within the Church of England. Bagshaw hit out at Baxter's lukewarm position on dissent. In 1672, Baxter was still accusing Bagshaw of tricky polemics, in trying to draw discussion of the position of honest Nonconformist dissenters onto the touchy grounds of full toleration, politics and war.

He died while on parole from Newgate Prison, and was buried in Bunhill Fields.

Wyreema is a rural town and locality in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia. In the , the locality of Wyreema had a population of 1,834 people.

Geography
Toowoomba–Karara Road passes through the locality and town from north to south, and Umbiram Road / Newman Road (which links Southbrook on the Gore Highway to the New England Highway) runs from west to east.

The Southern railway line enters the locality from the north-east (Finnie) and exits to the west (Umbiram).

History
The town takes its name from the Wyreema railway station on the Southern railway line; the origins of that name are unclear but it's not an Aboriginal name.

The Southern railway line opened from Gowrie Junction to Hendon on 11 March 1869. Although it passed through present day Wyreema, there was no railway station in the area. On 19 September 1887, the Beauaraba branch railway line branched from the new Beauaraba Junction railway station  () on the Southern line to Pittsworth (later extending to Millmerran). In October 1893, Beauaraba Junction railway station was renamed Wyreema railway station.

Wyreema Provisional School opened on 21 February 1895. In 1904, it became Wyreema State School.

In 1915, the opening of the Drayton Deviation from Toowoomba via Drayton to Wyreema reduced the distance from Toowoomba to Wyreema and beyond by .

A suburban rail motor service from Toowoomba commenced in May 1917. It was extended south to Cambooya and north (from Toowoomba) to Willowburn (a railway station on the Western line at the Harlaxton, Cranley, Rockville tripoint) in 1918. These services ceased around 1923.

In the , the locality of Wyreema had a population of 1,834 people.

Education
Wyreema State School is a government primary (Prep-6) school for boys and girls at 12 High Street (). In 2018, the school had an enrolment of 160 students with 14 teachers (10 full-time equivalent) and 9 non-teaching staff (5 full-time equivalent).

There are no secondary schools in Wyreema. The nearest government secondary school is Harristown State High School in Harristown in Toowoomba to the north-east.

Amenities
Library services in Wyreema are provided by the Toowoomba Regional Council's mobile library service. The van visits Wyreema State School every Friday.

Hisense Kelon or  simply Kelon, formerly Guangdong Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited, is one of the largest Chinese white goods manufacturers, producing refrigerators, air conditioners, and small electric appliances. The company is well known in mainland China under its brand names Kelon () and Ronshen (). The head office of the company is in Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong.

History
Founded in 1984 in Shunde, an industrial county in Guangdong, Kelon started to produce refrigerators. Its H shares were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1996 while A shares were listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1999. In 2006, Hisense Group, another large-scale white goods manufacturer in Qingdao, Shandong, acquired Kelon and became Kelon's largest shareholder. In 2007, the company name was changed to Hisense Kelon Electrical Holdings Limited after the acquisition.

In 2018 October, Kelon has proposed changes to the Chinese and English names of the company. The name is proposed to change from "Hisense Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited" to "Hisense Home Appliances Group Co., Ltd."

H shares trading suspended 2005–2009
On June 16, 2005, Kelon announced that trading in its H shares was suspended "pending the release of an announcement in relation to price sensitive information". This was because Kelon's former chairman and largest shareholder, Gu Chujun, was involved in seizing company assets and was being investigated by the Foshan police. Gu was later dismissed by Kelon's board. The case was settled by the Intermediate People's Court of Foshan City on 9 January 2009. H shares resumed trading on 21 January 2009.

The vertical cut recording process is an early method of audio recording by which a stylus cuts a vertical groove into a phonograph record. This is in contrast to the lateral recording system which uses a stylus that cuts side-to-side across a record.  The vertical recording process, also known as the hill and dale process, was used to record phonograph cylinder records as well as Edison Disc Records, Pathé disc records, and disc records made by numerous smaller companies.  Vertical cut recording was also used as a means of copyright protection by the early Muzak 16-inch background music discs.

In this process the stylus makes a vertical cut, its depth determined in accordance with the current in the recording coil. The grooves of vertically cut records have a constant separation and varying depth, as opposed to grooves of laterally cut records, which have a varying distance of separation and constant depth.

Examining a vertically cut groove along its length reveals a continuous wavy line as the needle cuts at different depths according to the tone and the loudness of the audio being recorded. These grooves show a transition from high to low peak as a smooth curve, giving the characteristic rounded 'hill and dale' effect to the groove, similar to the appearance of many geographic areas.

Recording is by mechanical means and the vibrations from acoustic energy, transferred to a cutting needle, make the needle cut a deeper or shallower groove.  It is necessary to set the parameters of the cutting depth accurately: too shallow a groove on silent sections and the playback device, also a needle, will slip out of place; too deep a groove risks cutting through the thin layer of recording medium and/or creating excessive wear when the recording is played back. Due to mechanical noise generated by the recording system, the needle is never totally still; total silence would produce a flat even depth groove, so the hill and dale effect exists over all the audio recording section.

Rhodomyrtus is a group of shrubs and trees in the family Myrtaceae described as a genus in 1841. The genus is native to southern China, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Australia.

Its greatest levels of diversity are on New Guinea and in northeastern Australia.  DNA sequence data and morphological data indicate that the genus is artificial (polyphyletic). Additional studies are needed before it can be split into two or more smaller monophyletic genera.

Choose to Love, Live or Die is a four-track EP by Australian metalcore band, I Killed the Prom Queen, which was released in 2002. By September that year the title track was recommended listening on Three D Radio.

The original line-up of I Killed the Prom Queen consisted of vocalist Lee Stacy, guitarist Jona Weinhofen, drummer Josef Peters, bass guitarist Ben Engel and second guitarist Simon O'Gorman. The following year Michael Crafter, now synonymous with I Killed the Prom Queen and Australian Hardcore, joined the group to share the vocal duties. Soon after this Leaton Rose, now of the band The Hot Lies, replaced Engel on bass. The group then recorded a four track demo which would become Choose to Love, Live or Die. This demo was later re-released as an EP by Final Prayer Records.

Three tracks, "Choose to Love Live or Die", "Dreams as Hearts Bleed" and "The Paint Brush Killer", were re-recorded for the band's third EP Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You (March 2005). Some of its tracks appear on the group's live album CD/DVD, Sleepless Nights and City Lights, which was issued in November 2008.

Reception

Sputnikmusic's reviewer, praised Choose to Love, Live or Die for "The way everything ties in together is amazing. How Crafter's then high donkey sounding vocals and Lee's seagull scream go well together just like peas and carrots. The production is a bit empty but everything is there and crystal clear". Australian punk website reviewed the group in 2004 and described their debut EP as "Fusing elements of rock, metal and hardcore, they knock you to the floor with a 4-track-musical-offensive. Before you know it, they're picking you up again with emotive, vocal and guitar-driven melody, just to knock you right back down".

Track listing

All tracks written by I Killed the Prom Queen:
 "Choose to Love, Live or Die"
 "The Paint Brush Killer"
 "Dream as Hearts Bleed"
 "Upon a Rivers Sky"

Michael Crafter explained on the DVD version of Sleepless Nights and City Lights, that the group had recorded a fifth track for the EP. But, it was accidentally deleted from the computer in the studio they were using, so they decided to stick with just four.

Brainwashing: The Science of Thought Control is a 2004 popular science book explaining  mind control, which is also known as brainwashing, thought reform and coercive persuasion, by neuroscientist and physiologist Kathleen Taylor.  It explains the neurological basis for reasoning and cognition in the brain, and proposes that the self is changeable, and describes the physiology of neurological pathways. It reviews case studies including Patty Hearst, the Manson Family, and the mass murder/suicide of members of Peoples Temple at Jonestown, and compares the techniques of influence used by cults to those of totalitarian and communist societies. It lays out a model FACET – Freedom, Agency, Complexity, Ends-not-means, and Thinking – which she believes can be used to negate the influence of brainwashing techniques.

Contents
Taylor provides background on the development of the term brainwashing, from its use in 1950 by journalist Edward Hunter and its later usage as applied to the spheres of cults, marketing, influence, thought reform, torture, and reeducation. She references psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton's work Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism as a resource throughout the book. Lifton based his research on interviews he conducted with prisoners of war who had been subjected to indoctrination and torture during the Korean War. Taylor argues that the term brainwashing is useful to when used to refer to a more coercive form of persuasion.

She explains the neurological basis for reasoning and cognition in the brain, and brings the point across that the self itself is changeable. She describes the physiology behind neurological pathways which include webs of neurons containing dendrites, axons, and synapses; and explains that certain brains with more rigid pathways will be less susceptible to new information or creative stimuli. Taylor utilizes neurological science to show that brainwashed individuals have more rigid pathways, and that rigidity can make it unlikely that the individual will rethink situations or be able to later reorganize these pathways. She explains that repetition is an integral part of brainwashing techniques because connections between neurons become stronger when exposed to incoming signals of frequency and intensity. She argues that people in their teenage years and early twenties are more susceptible to persuasion. Taylor explains that brain activity in the temporal lobe, the region responsible for artistic creativity, also causes spiritual experiences in a process known as lability.

In the Part I of the book, titled: "Torture and seduction", Taylor analyzes how various parties have used certain techniques in influencing and brainwashing others, including a restriction of individual freedoms, deception, and methods that conflict with one's decision-making processes. She utilizes case studies including Patty Hearst, the Manson Family, and the mass murder/suicide of members of Peoples Temple at Jonestown to illustrate the neurology she explains in Part II, "The traitor in your skull". In the case of the Manson Family followers of Charles Manson carried out multiple murders in 1969, and with Peoples Temple over 900 followers of charismatic leader Jim Jones died in 1978 in Jonestown, Guyana after consuming cyanide. Taylor asserts that the techniques used by cults to influence others are similar to those used by other social groups, and compares similar totalitarian aspects of cults and communist societies. These techniques include isolating the individual and controlling their access to information, challenging their belief structure and creating doubt, and repeating messages in a pressurized environment.

According to Taylor, cults emphasize positive aspects of the group over negative aspects of outsiders, endlessly repeat simple ideas in "highly reductive, definitive – sounding phrases", and refer to "abstract and ambiguous" ideas associated with "huge emotional baggage". Taylor writes that brainwashing involves a more intense version of the way the brain traditionally learns. In the final portion of the book, Part III: "Freedom and Control", Taylor describes an individual's susceptibility to brainwashing and lays out an acronym "FACET", a tool to combat influence and a totalist mindset. FACET stands for Freedom, Agency, Complexity, Ends-not-means, and Thinking. The FACET model is based on Lifton's eight criteria for thought reform, and Taylor emphasizes education and freedom of thought as a way to negate some of these criteria.

Reception
Brainwashing was first published in hardcover format on 16 December 2004 by Oxford University Press, and again in paperback format on 24 August 2006. The book was "highly commended" and runner-up in the 2005 Times Higher Education Supplement Young Academic Author Award, and also made it to the shortlist for the 2005 MIND "Book of the Year Award". The book also made it to the longlist of the 2005 Aventis "Science Book Prize", where it was described as containing "elegant and accessible prose".

PD Smith gave the book a positive review in The Guardian, and concluded: "Her ambitious and well-written study celebrates human freedom through a history of attempts to destroy it." Joseph Szimhart reviewed the book for Skeptical Inquirer, and wrote: "I enjoyed the book as a challenge to think about a sorely neglected topic." Szimhart concluded: "Taylor's concern is with any human venture (be it science, religion, or politics) that restricts brain function from creative 'stop and think' activity, and which becomes little more than another exclusive cult."

In a review of the book for The Daily Telegraph, British doctor and science writer James Le Fanu was critical, and commented that Taylor did not acknowledge "the explanatory gap" between current understanding of the brain's structure and "what it does, how we think, feel and emote". Le Fanu concluded, "The paradox of Brainwashing is that it would have been a much more interesting book if Dr Taylor had pursued the contrarian view of seeking to explain why that 'explanatory gap' is not merely unbridged but, with the advance of the neurosciences, now seems to be unbridgeable. A brain that was simple enough to be fully known would be too simple to contain conscious observers who might know it." Nigel Hawkes of The Times criticized what he saw as Taylor's conclusion that "we are all a little bit brainwashed by our culture and experience" and noted that this assessment places Jim Jones of the Peoples Temple group in the same classification as the tabloid press. A review in Financial Times by Jerome Burne was also critical, and he commented that Taylor does not convey "a clear enough message" in the work.

Peter Knight believes that Taylor sufficiently "argues that there is no need to invoke the notion of brainwashing as a mysterious and fear-inducing explanation as a last resort" – to Taylor, "brainwashing is less scary than people might think because it is in fact not some magical, secret and ultra-efficient technique of thought control" but a "mundane and ubiquitous" neurological phenomenon that can be understood scientifically. Alan W. Scheflin, writing for Nova Religio, believes that the book is a "solid and welcome contribution to the brainwashing literature". He calls the book a "very valuable field manual" in the "battle" for people's minds in the twenty-first century.

Frédéric Lazard (20 February 1883, in Marseille – 18 November 1948, in Le Vésinet) was a French chess master, problemist and journalist.

He lived in Paris, where he played in many local tournaments. He took twice 4th place in 1905, shared 3rd in 1908, took 3rd (Arnold Aurbach won) in 1909, shared 2nd behind H. Weinstein in 1909, won ahead of Amédée Gibaud in 1910, tied for 1st with Aristide Gromer in 1912, took 4th in 1914, and shared 2nd, behind Alphonse Goetz, at Lyon 1914.

In 1912, he drew a match with Gibaud (3–3), and lost to Edward Lasker (0.5–2.5). In 1913, he drew with Smirnov (1.5–1.5).

After World War I, he won at Paris 1920, took 2nd at Paris 1922 (Triangular, André Muffang won), represented France in 1st unofficial Chess Olympiad at Paris 1924, took 9th at Strasbourg 1924 (French Chess Championship, Robert Crépeaux won), tied for 2nd-3rd at Nice 1925 (FRA-ch, Crépeaux won), shared 1st with André Chéron at Biarritz 1926 (FRA-ch), took 13th in the 1927 Paris City Chess Championship (Abraham Baratz won), tied for 10-11th in the 1928 Paris-ch (Baratz won), took 7th at Paris 1929 (Savielly Tartakower won), tied for 3rd-5th in the 1930 Paris-ch (Josef Cukierman won), and took 10th at Paris 1933 (Alexander Alekhine won).

He published a chess book entitled Mes problèmes et études d'échecs (1928).

He was a younger brother of Gustave Lazard.

Apocryphal game

A very short  attributed to Amédée Gibaud and Lazard is frequently reproduced in chess literature, sometimes with the claim that it was the shortest game ever played between masters in a formal setting.  In its shortest and most commonly reproduced version, the game consists of four moves by each player.  Black (Lazard) rapidly develops his king's knight to e3 after White (Gibaud) weakens the defense of the square.

In the final position White is unable to prevent the capture of his queen, because doing so would allow Black to force checkmate: 5. fxe3 Qh4+ 6. g3 Qxg3#.

The four-move, "formal" version of the game is not accepted as a real historical event.  Gibaud denied having ever lost a serious game in four moves, instead suggesting that he may have lost a casual  game against Lazard involving similar positional themes, albeit with more than four moves played.  Gibaud also suggested that his game with Lazard might have been confused with a previously published "theoretical" miniature.  Although the four-move version of the game is not accepted as historically accurate, it illustrates several principles of gameplay: the possibility for rapid development to cause serious problems for an opponent, the importance of not weakening the defense of critical squares, and the importance of defending a structural weakness on the kingside in the initial phase of the game (especially involving the f- and g- pawns), which if left unguarded may lead to a quick checkmate, akin to Fool's mate.

Hare, he was educated in the schools of Hillsboro. After his primary education Hare attended Pacific University in nearby Forest Grove. In 1883, he married the former Elinor Grace Bothwell; they had one son, William B., who became a doctor and naval surgeon.

Career
After college Hare started in the lumber business, acquiring holdings in mills in the northwest part of Oregon. He was also involved in civic affairs in Hillsboro, serving on the city council from 1890 to 1894. In 1893, Hare was elected as the 13th mayor of Hillsboro, serving in office from December 5, 1893, until December 4, 1894, a position previously held by his father. He also had a dairy farm of  near the city along the Tualatin River, named Holyrood in honor of his wife's ancestors from Scotland.

In 1897, he built a sawmill near what is now Beaverton followed by a mill near Buxton in 1912. Here his company logged parts of the Northern Oregon Coast Range, including a valley that was later named after him. A member of the Republican Party and a Mason, Hare retired from the logging business in 1917 and moved to Portland, but remained active in the Ancient Order of United Workmen forestry fraternal organization.

Legacy
A railroad station near Manning, west of Buxton, and another stop in Aloha between Beaverton and Hillsboro, were both named for Hare. Hares Canyon near Buxton was also named for him.

The Air Support Division (ASD) is the police aviation division of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). It is the largest municipal airborne law enforcement organization in the United States and operates from the LAPD Hooper Heliport.

While originally devoted to aerial traffic enforcement, the ASD has grown to support a wide variety of police activity. Today, its operations are divided between Air Support To Regular Operations (ASTRO) and Special Flight Section (SFS). The Air Support Division currently operates sixteen helicopters and 1 fixed wing aircraft of two different helicopter brands, and maintains the largest municipal police aviation unit around the world, in addition to having the world's largest roof-top airport and world's busiest heliport.

History

The ASD was established as the LAPD Helicopter Unit in 1956 with one Hiller UH-12C three-seat helicopter. They added a second helicopter in 1963 and a third in 1965. The city operated Bell 47G and 47J model helicopters. In 1968, the unit received its first turbine-powered helicopter, the Bell 206A JetRanger, which significantly decreased police response times. With a major expansion in 1974, the Helicopter Unit was renamed the Air Support Division. At that time, the ASD grew to fifteen helicopters and one Cessna 210 crewed by 77 sworn personnel. In 1976, the ASD added the Special Flight Section (SFS), a unit dedicated to supporting undercover police operations. In this support role, SFS is a significant contributor to narcotics and serialized criminal investigations. In 1989, the ASD added its first Aerospatiale AS350 B1. The city replaced all but four of the Bell 206 JetRangers and retired the older piston models. Today, LAPD air units provide aerial surveillance for vehicle pursuits, robberies, large crowd demonstrations, drug interdiction, and search and rescue missions. Air units are automatically requested when initiating a traffic stop on a suspect with known wants or warrants that are a felony in order to limit the potential for a pursuit. Aircraft will not fly during poor weather due to aviation safety.

Organization
The Air Support Division consists of 88 sworn personnel and 16 helicopters (which include one Bell 206B3 JetRangers, seven Airbus AS-350B2, seven Airbus H125, and one Bell 412), and one Beechcraft King Air 200 twin-engined aircraft.

Two officers with at least three years of patrol car service fly in each air unit. They are armed and able to land and make arrests in areas not accessible by other means.

The city of Los Angeles briefly flew a fleet of Bell 407s in the late 1990s as a replacement for the AS-350B1s. However, in 2000 the LAPD started replacing the 407s with more powerful AS-350B2s. Two of the 407s were sold to the General Services Department, which uses the helicopters on flights for the Department of Water and Power.

Accidents and incidents

On November 30, 1964, Sergeant Norman D. Piepenbrink was killed in a helicopter accident.

On August 30, 1966, Policemen Larry Amberg and Alex N. Ilnicki, were on traffic patrol in Air 1 (Bell 47G, reg. N1162W) flying in the vicinity of Dodger Stadium, when a media helicopter (Bell 47G, reg. N1157W) was also in the area reporting on freeway traffic conditions. Air 1 and the media helicopter collided, resulting in the deaths of both officers and the occupants of the media helicopter. Policeman Ilnicki had about 401 hours of total flight time and 236 hours in type at the time of the crash

On May 29, 1974, Commander Paul J. Gillen was killed when his helicopter crashed.

On June 11, 1976, Officer Jeffrey B. Lindenberg was killed when the Bell 47G-5 helicopter (U.S. reg. N7085J) he was training in lost power and crashed while landing. Lindenberg was practicing simulated urban high-rise rooftop landings at an off-site pad on top of a small mountain near the Los Angeles Zoo in the hills above Hollywood. On short final approach, the engine lost power and the helicopter impacted  short of the pad. The helicopter rolled down the mountain side . Lindenberg was killed and another officer was seriously injured. Lindenberg had been with the agency for seven years. Lindenberg was an experienced instrument rated pilot with 3575 hours of total flight time and 426 in type.

On March 1, 1983, Reserve Officer Stuart Taira was killed as a result of a police helicopter crash. Taira, an observer for the helicopter unit, and two other officers were conducting aerial patrols following a tornado. In between patrols the officers were dispatched to investigate a report of a burglar on a roof. As the helicopter took off it struck a power line, causing it to crash. The officers survived the initial impact and Taira was able to exit the aircraft. Taira then returned to the aircraft in an attempt to rescue his two partners. One of the helicopter's rotors struck Taira in the head, killing him. Taira was posthumously awarded the department's Medal of Valor.

On June 13, 1991, Officers Gary Alan Howe and Charles Randall Champe were killed when they experienced an in-flight engine failure which caused their helicopter to crash into a parking lot near Normandie Elementary School. They were flying an AS350B1 helicopter (U.S. reg. N214LA).

Stefan Wiechecki (pen-name Wiech; 10 August 1896 – 26 July 1979) was a Polish writer and journalist. He is most fondly remembered for his humorous feuilletons, which chronicled the everyday life of Warsaw and cultivated the Warsaw dialect.

Stefan Wiechecki was born 10 August 1896. In inter-war Poland he collaborated with numerous Warsaw-based newspapers, initially as a court reporter. During numerous trials he documented typical personalities of the poorer, less-known part of the city with its distinctive culture, language and customs. With time he was given his own column in Express Wieczorny evening newspaper, where he published humorous sketches and feuilletons featuring personalities based on people taking part in trials he took part in. They gained much popularity and in late 1930s Wiechecki opened a chocolate shop in the borough of Praga, which became his main source of income.

During the Warsaw Uprising, he was cut off from his house on the other side of the river, in the Old Town. There he collaborated with numerous newspapers published in the Polish-held part of town, notably the Powstaniec. Sharing the fate of the rest of Warsaw's civilians, Wiechecki was forced out of the city after the end of the uprising. However, he returned soon after the town was retaken from the Germans and resumed his duties as a journalist. Some of his humorous stories were published in book form, while others continued to be published by Warsaw-based newspapers.

While criticised by linguists and Polonists for filling the Polish language with trash, he was nevertheless considered a classic of the Warsaw dialect, at that time suppressed by schools along with all other non-standard variations of the literary language. One of the scientists to defend him in numerous articles was Bronisław Wieczorkiewicz, who later published the first monograph on the dialects of Warsaw. A renowned Polish poet Julian Tuwim dubbed Wiechecki the Homer of Warsaw's streets and Warsaw's language, his feuilletons are also mentioned in the works of Antoni Słonimski, Stefan Kisielewski and Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska. He died 26 July 1979 in Warsaw, where he is buried. After 1989 one of the main pedestrian-only zones of downtown Warsaw was officially named the Wiech Passage in honour of Wiechecki.

Wiechecki's novel Cafe pod Minogą was filmed in 1956.

Eugene "Gene" S. Selvage (1896–1993) was the owner of Lucky Lager Brewing Company and a founder of the Lucky International Open.

Personal life
Eugene Selvage was born in Eureka, California, on August 26, 1896. He was the son of Thomas H. Selvage, a Republican California State senator and Luna M. Shattuck Selvage. In 1917, Eugene enlisted in the United States Navy, was commissioned a naval aviator, with the rank of ensign, and continued in the service until August 1919. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, he practiced law after the war. Selvage married Jeanne Sexsmith and they had two children, Marilyn Jeanne and Jeannette Lorraine. He is survived by his five grandchildren Jeanne Wise, Dan and Tom Avila, and Geoff and James Hancock and great-grandchild Marilyn Wendt.

Selvage was an avid sportsman, and achieved amateur standing in skeet-shooting and golfing. He also owned Lucky Livestock Company and Lucky Hereford Ranch in Gilroy, California.

Lucky Lager Brewing Company
Selvage was the founder and owner of the General Brewing Company, which produced Lucky Lager. The General Brewing Company was incorporated in California in 1933 and headquartered in San Francisco. General Brewing became the Lucky Lager Brewing Company in 1948 and began building and acquiring new breweries throughout the Western states. Under Selvage's leadership as owner and CEO, Lucky Lager achieved phenomenal growth in the 1950s, and for more than a decade Lucky Lager beer was the sales leader in the entire West. In 1961, Selvage retired as CEO, but was retained to serve as chairman of the board.

Selvage served as president of the California Brewers Association.

Lucky International Open
Selvage was a founder of the Lucky International Open. An avid golfer and fan, Selvage believed that the San Francisco Bay Area should play a major role in professional golf. He sponsored the Lucky International Open via his company throughout the 1960s, until the tournament disbanded in 1969.

Selvage was close friends and an early sponsor of Masters champion George Archer. In fact, Archer received his nickname "Golfing Cowboy" as a result of a summer job in his youth spent at Selvage's Lucky Hereford Ranch.
