Grey Valley is a former parliamentary electorate in the West Coast region of New Zealand. The electorate was created for the 1871 general election as a single-member electorate, became a two-member electorate for the 1876 general election, and was split between the single-member electorates of  and  for the 1881 general election.

Population centres
The 1870 electoral redistribution was undertaken by a parliamentary select committee based on population data from the 1867 New Zealand census. Eight sub-committees were formed, with two members each making decisions for their own province; thus members set their own electorate boundaries. The number of electorates was increased from 61 to 72, and Grey Valley was one of the new electorates.

The Taramakau River formed the southern boundary of the electorate, from the mouth all the way to Harper's Pass (a historic alpine crossing). The boundary then followed the Main Divide to just short of Lewis Pass. From there, it stayed at some distance south from the Maruia River, then went for a long distance in a straight line towards the coast to then turn sharply south at the Paparoa Range before hitting the coast just south of Punakaiki. The main population centres in this configuration were Greymouth and the coal mining towns in the Brunner Borough (which itself was not constituted until 1887).

In the 1875 electoral redistribution, the electorate was extended towards the north into an area previously belonging to the  electorate by following the Maruia River for a distance to the west, with the boundary then nearing the coast on a line between Reefton and Inangahua, then followed the Paparoa Range towards the south before hitting the coast just south of Punakaiki. The main population centre gained by this boundary adjustment was Reefton.

History
Grey Valley existed from 1871 to 1881. William Henry Harrison was the first representative from 1871 to 1875 when he retired. Harrison had previously represented Westland Boroughs from 1868 to 1870.

The electorate was represented by two members from the 1876 election onwards. Martin Kennedy and Charles Woolcock were elected in 1876; Kennedy resigned in 1878 and Woolcock retired at the 1879 election. Kennedy was succeeded by Richard Reeves in an 1878 by-election. He was defeated in 1881 when he stood for Inangahua. Edward Masters succeeded Woolcock in the 1879 election. Masters resigned in 1881 and was succeeded by Thomas S. Weston in an 1881 by-election. Weston stood in Inangahua in the 1881 general election and was successful.

Members of Parliament
The Grey Valley electorate was represented by six members of parliament.

Cecil Taylor Nichols (born March 3, 1959) is an American actor, known for his roles in several films by Whit Stillman including major roles in Metropolitan (1990) and Barcelona (1994), as well as his role in the regular cast of the television series PEN15 (2019–2021).

Career
Nichols is perhaps best known for his roles in the Whit Stillman films Metropolitan, Barcelona, The Last Days of Disco, and Damsels in Distress. His characters in the first three of these films were insecure, stuttering sidekicks to those of the more outgoing Chris Eigeman. Nichols and Eigeman also played minor roles in the independent film The Next Step, released in 1997, of which Nichols was an associate producer.

Nichols has also appeared in the films Boiler Room, Congo, The American President, The Big Easy, and Jurassic Park III, as well as episodes of the TV series Murder, She Wrote, NewsRadio, Chicago Hope, ER, Man of the People, Judging Amy, The Mind of the Married Man, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, 24, Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, Bones, and Double Rush.  In 2007 Nichols appeared in the film The Air I Breathe. He can also be seen in the 2018 film Chappaquiddick.

From 2019 to 2021, Nichols was a member of the regular cast in all three seasons of PEN15 on Hulu.

Personal life
Nichols was born in East Lansing, Michigan and is a graduate of the University of Michigan. He has been married since 1995 to Margarita de Eguilior, a Spanish woman he met during the production of Barcelona. They have two daughters, Alexandra, who was born January 21, 1999, and Lee, born January 30, 2002.

Phlapphla Chai (, ) is the name of a road in Bangkok's Pom Prap and Wat Thep Sirin sub-districts, Pom Prap Sattru Phai District, and also the five-way intersection of the road with Luang and Maitri Chit Roads. It is also the name of the surrounding area and considered as a part of Bangkok's Chinatown.

The road
Phlapphla Chai Road separates from the left side of Charoen Krung Road at Plaeng Nam Intersection, extending and running north, intersecting Luang and Maitri Chit Roads at Phlapphla Chai Intersection and continuing north until it reaches Bamrung Mueang Road in the Suan Mali quarter, with a total distance of about 1.1 km (0.68 mi).

BMTA's bus line 53 (inner city loop) is the only one running on this road (only in the section between Phlapphla Chai Intersection and the end of the road).

Bordering the road are Li Ti Meow Shrine, Wat Khanikaphon, Poh Teck Tung Foundation, Phlapphla Chai Police Stations 1 and 2, Tai Hong Kong Shrine, and Wat Thepsirin.

History
The name Phlapphla Chai comes from Wat Phlapphla Chai (วัดพลับพลาไชย), a wat (Thai temple) site on the corner of intersection. The temple was built in the Ayutthaya period and was originally known as Wat Khok (วัดโคก). The area around the temple used to be execution grounds, and many human skeletons have been found. In addition, the edge of the temple was the location of Pom Prap Sattru Phai, one of the eight forts built along the canal Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem in the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV); it gave its name to the present Pom Prap Sattru Phai District. The new name of Wat Phalpphla Chai was given later during the reign of King Vajiravudh (Rama VI), during which it was used as a practice field for the king's Wild Tiger Corps.  The word phlapphla means 'pavilion' and "Wat Phlapphla Chai" translates to 'Victory Pavilion Temple', referring to the pavilion of King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama I), which was set up in the area while he was Chao Phraya Maha Kasat Suek (his highest title before becoming king), having returned from a war against the Khmers in 1782.

Phlappla Chai Road was built in the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). It was not built straight due to obstruction by the Meng Soon Building, whose owner was under the protection of France, which had extraterritorial rights, and did not allow his land to be expropriated.

In the evening on 3 July 1974, Phlapphla Chai was the site of the "Chinatown Riots", which left 26 dead and more than 120 injured. The riots started when two police officers arrested a taxi driver for illegal parking. He resisted and yelled that they were beating him. His yelling caused crowds to gather at Phlapphla Chai Police Station, eventually escalating into a riot and spread to nearby areas such as Hua Lamphong, the 22 July Circle, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Rama IV Road, and Wang Burapha. Protesters burned public places, threw bombs, and fired at police officers, who were unable to control the situation. The riots continued for four days until the government of prime minister Sanya Dharmasakti declared a state of emergency. The incident finally ended after soldiers and police used force to quell the rioters. The incident is considered to be the first people's uprising since the October 14 event in the previous year.

Phlapphla Chai is one of the areas most populated by those of Thai Chinese descent. It is not far from Yaowarat or Charoen Krung Roads and contains a number of restaurants and street food vendors in the surrounding area. Some of them were chosen to be Bib Gourmand from Michelin Guide as well. In addition, in the past it was known as the centre of photography equipment stores.

Chinese businessman Hong Taechawanit donated his mansion in Phlapphla Chai to the government and it became the present-day Phlapphlachai police station.

The men's 200 metres event was part of the track and field athletics programme at the 1924 Summer Olympics. The first two rounds were held on 8 July, with the semifinals and final on 9 July. Sixty-five sprinters from 33 countries competed. Nations were limited to 4 athletes each. The event was won by Jackson Scholz of the United States, the nation's third consecutive victory in the event and fifth in six Games. For the third straight Games, the podium consisted of two Americans winning gold and silver (Charley Paddock) and a Brit taking bronze (Eric Liddell). Paddock, the silver medalist in 1920 as well, was the second man to earn multiple medals in the 200 metres.

Background

This was the sixth appearance of the event, which was not held at the first Olympics in 1896 but has been on the program ever since. One of the six finalists from the 1920 Games returned: silver medalist Charley Paddock of the United States.

Argentina, Brazil, Haiti, Ireland, Latvia, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, Turkey, and Yugoslavia each made their debut in the event. The United States made its sixth appearance, the only nation to have competed at each edition of the 200 metres to date.

Competition format

The competition used the four round format introduced in 1920: heats, quarterfinals, semifinals, and a final. There were 17 heats of between 3 and 5 runners each, with the top 2 men in each advancing to the quarterfinals. The quarterfinals consisted of 6 heats of between 5 and 6 athletes each; the two fastest men in each heat advanced to the semifinals. There were 2 semifinals, each with 6 runners. In that round, the top three athletes advanced. The final had 6 runners.

The race was run on a 500-metre track, the last time the Olympics used a track with a different length than the now-standard 400 metres.

Prior to this competition, the existing world and Olympic records were as follows:

Jackson Scholz of the United States tied the Olympic record in the final.

Sabangau National Park (sometimes spelled Sebangau) is a national park in Central Kalimantan, a province of Indonesia in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo established in 2004. Between 1980 and 1995 the site was a massive logging concessions area.  After 1995, the park became a site for illegal logging, which resulted in up to 85 percent of the 568,700-hectare total park area being destroyed.  By 2012, less than 1 percent of the park's total area has been reforested and at the current rate, it will take several centuries to restore it to its pre-logged state.

Geography
The national park is centered on Sabangau River, a blackwater river.  It flows through the Kelompok Hutan Kahayan or Sabangau peat swamp forest (5,300 km2), between the Katingan and Kahayan rivers. The peat swamp forest is a dual ecosystem, with diverse tropical trees standing on a 10m - 12m layer of peat - partly decayed and waterlogged plant material - which in turn covers relatively infertile soil.

The severely degraded eastern part of the forest, between the Sabangau and the Kayahan, is officially designated for agriculture.  However, since the failure of the Mega Rice Project, which drained large areas of peat forest in an attempt to create rice paddies, no further efforts are being made to make it suitable for this purpose.

The forest has been damaged by legal and illegal forestry. There is no longer any continuous forest cover where orangutans may cross the river.   A satellite view shows a grid of logging roads throughout most of the forest.

However, the western part is now protected as either National Park or National Laboratory Research Area. A study of the area shows that the hydrological integrity of the forest has been maintained, and it is therefore ecologically resilient, although since it is close to the regional capital Palangkaraya it remains at risk.

Ecology
The forest is home to the world’s largest orangutan population, estimated at 6,910 individuals in 2003,  and other rare or unique species. The total agile gibbon population in the Sabangau catchment is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, but is declining fast.

Vulnerable bird species include the large green pigeon (Treron capellei) and possibly Storm's stork (Ciconia stormi) and lesser adjutant (Leptoptilus javanicus). Efforts are underway to establish long-term ecological monitoring in the forest.

Cyber Snipa is a brand of specialised computer peripherals and equipment designed expressly for gaming. The brand originated in March 2004 when Flexiglow Hong Kong Pty Ltd introduced the Cyber Snipa Gamepad.  Subsequent to the sale of Flexiglow Hong Kong in July 2007, Cyber Snipa products are currently manufactured by Cyber Sport Pty Ltd.

Despite its success in the past CyberSnipa filed for bankruptcy in 2016 and closed its website by the end of 2016.

History

The development of the Cyber Snipa brand began in 1998 when gamers employed as engineers at Flexiglow saw a need for specialised gaming equipment in a fast-growing market and started designing the Gamepad with the intention of improving performance in FPS games.
Since the Gamepads release in 2005 the range of products marketed under the Cyber Snipa brand has grown to include gaming mice, mousepads, keyboards, headsets, webcams, flash memory devices and gaming apparel.
In 2006 the Cyber Snipa brand was made available for purchase and offices were opened in both the US and Europe.
In February 2008, Flexiglow Pty Ltd was bought out by the Australian technology development studio Cyber Sport Pty Ltd. Cyber Sport has since continued to release new Cyber Snipa products alongside its other brands, most recently the Stinger gaming mouse.

Products

Keyboards
The Gamepad was the first product to be released under the Cyber Snipa brand name. It was conceived with portability and space-management in mind and aims to improve in-game control.  A new version featuring more keys and a better ergonomic layout, the Game pad V2, has since superseded the original.

The Warboard is a full size keyboard which was released in late 2007.  It features 10 dual mode programmable buttons and anti-ghosting key architecture.  The Warboard has been cited as a useful MMORPG keyboard in particular due to the macro software functions.

Mice
The Intelliscope was the first gaming mouse to be developed and marketed under the Cyber Snipa brand.  The Intelliscope laser mouse features on-the-fly switchable dpi (with a maximum of 2400) and operates at 10,800 frames per second.

The S.W.A.T. mouse features a 1600dpi switchable laser engine and operates at 6,400 frame/s.  The S.W.A.T. mouse has a lower price point than the Intelliscope despite possessing 32kb of onboard memory and Macro A.I. software.

The Stinger Mouse, released in February 2008, is the latest and most technologically advanced mouse in the Cyber Snipa line. It features an on-the-fly switchable 3200dpi laser engine operating at 7000 frame/s, a superfast report rate of 1000 Hz, onboard memory with macro software and a removable weight system.

Mouse pads
A variety of different high performance mouse pads have been released under the Cyber Snipa brand name, the most prominent of which are the Tracer illuminated mouse pad and the Micro-fibre Mouse Mat.

SONAR Headsets
In early 2008 the Cyber Snipa range was expanded to include two types of gaming headsets; the Sonar 2.0 and Sonar 5.1.  The Sonar 5.1 headset in particular has received positive reviews from the online gaming community. It features true directional surround sound with 8 individual speakers on separate channels and 3D audio software.

Joshua Watson (1771–1855) was an English wine merchant, philanthropist, a prominent member of the high church party and of several charitable organisations, who became known as "the best layman in England".

Life
Joshua Watson was born on Tower Hill in the city of London on Ascension day, 9 May 1771. His forefathers were of the hardy and independent race of northern 'statesmen', but his father, John Watson, had come on foot from Cumberland to London in early youth to try his fortunes, and establish himself successfully as a wine merchant on Tower Hill. His mother, Dorothy, born Robson, cousin to the artist, George Fennel Robson, was also from the north of England. John and Dorothy Watson had two sons – John James (1767–1839), who was rector of Hackney for forty years and archdeacon of St. Albans; and Joshua, who followed his father's business. The two brothers remained close throughout their lives.

At the age of ten Joshua was placed under the tuition of Mr Crawford at Newington Butts, and at the age of thirteen was sent to a commercial school kept by Mr Eaton in the city. In 1786 he was taken into his father's counting-house, which had then moved from Tower Hill to Mincing Lane; in 1792, when he came of age, he was admitted a partner. In 1797 he married Mary, the daughter of Thomas Sikes, a banker in Mansion House Street. Her uncle, Charles Daubeny, and her brother, Thomas Sikes, vicar of Guilsborough, who had been at Oxford with Joshua's elder brother, were among the leading churchmen of the day; and Joshua from his early years was brought into contact with other members of the high-church party, of which he afterwards became the virtual leader. Among his early friends and advisers were William Stevens, the disciple and biographer of William Jones of Nayland, and founder of the Club of Nobody's Friends, of which Joshua Watson was an original member; Jonathan Boucher, who became in 1785 vicar of Epsom, where John James Watson had his first curacy; and Sir John Richardson (afterwards a judge in the court of common pleas), who had been a college friend of John James Watson.

Among other friends were Henry Handley Norris, with whom he maintained an unbroken friendship of nearly sixty years, and William Van Mildert, rector of St. Mary-le-Bow in the city (afterwards bishop of Durham). Van Mildert submitted both his Boyle Lectures and his Bampton Lectures to Watson's revision, and was largely guided by his advice in literary matters. Nor was Van Mildert the only man of letters who showed confidence in his literary power. At the house of Van Mildert in Ely Place he met the elder Christopher Wordsworth, master of Trinity College, Cambridge, whom he joined in revising the proof-sheets of Christopher Wordsworth the younger's work, Theophilus Anglicanus. These men were, with Archdeacon Benjamin Harrison and William Rowe Lyall, Watson's chief friends and coadjutors.

Though "not slothful in business," Watson always had his heart in church work, and in 1811 he took a house at Clapton, within five minutes' walk of his brother's rectory at Hackney, and also near Henry Handley Norris. The three worked shoulder to shoulder. Clapton and Hackney became the centre of the various religious and philanthropic projects of the high-church party, and the coterie from which they emanated was called the "Hackney Phalanx". In 1811 the National Society for the Education of the Poor was formed: it originated in a meeting at Watson's house at Clapton, consisting of Watson, Norris, and John Bowles. Watson became its first treasurer, and it grew with marvellous rapidity.

In the same year (1811) Watson and Norris purchased the British Critic to restore it to its original lines as the organ
of the high-church party, from which it had somewhat diverged. In 1814 Watson retired from business to devote himself exclusively to works of piety and charity. He never missed any meeting of the Society for Propagation of the Gospel, the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, or the National Society, and his counsel was highly valued. He took a deep interest in the colonial church, being an intimate friend of Bishop Middleton of Calcutta, Bishop Inglis of Nova Scotia, Bishop Broughton of Australasia, and subsequently Bishop Selwyn of New Zealand. In 1814 he was appointed, together with his friend Archdeacon Cambridge, treasurer of the Society for Promoting
Christian Knowledge, which during his treasurership increased greatly its work and income. About the same time he became secretary of the relief fund for the German sufferers from the Napoleonic wars. In 1817 the Church Building Society, called at first the Church Room Society, was formed. Watson was largely instrumental in its foundation, drawing up the original resolution. This was quickly followed by a royal commission for church building issued under Lord Liverpool's government. Watson was one of the commissioners, and found the work so engrossing that in 1822 he took a house, No. 6 Park Street, Westminster, where he lived for sixteen years, to be near the scene of his labours.

He was also treasurer of the Clergy Orphan School, which was, perhaps, of all his benevolent schemes, the one nearest to his heart. In 1820 he was with difficulty persuaded by his friend Van Mildert to accept the honorary degree of D.C.L. offered to him by the university of Oxford. His connection with Oxford brought him into contact with Charles Lloyd, the regius professor of divinity, afterwards bishop of Oxford, who said of him, 'I look upon Joshua as the best layman in England.' Some time before he had become associated, through his friend Wordsworth, with the archbishop of Canterbury Charles Manners-Sutton, who appreciated his business talents. Button's successor, Archbishop William Howley, had equal confidence in him. In 1828 he took a leading part in the foundation of King's College London, and was a member of its first council. This brought him into communication with Hugh James Rose, for whom he conceived unbounded admiration. In 1833, layman though he was, he had the task of revising the Clerical Address to the archbishop of Canterbury, expressing attachment to the
church, which was drawn up by William Palmer; the Lay Declaration, which immediately followed, was entirely his composition. When the Additional Curates' Society was formed in 1837, Watson was the framer of its constitution and its first treasurer.

In 1838 his only daughter, Mary Sikes Watson, married Henry Michell Wagner, vicar of Brighton, but she died, to her father's grief, two years later, leaving two sons. His wife died in 1831, and his only brother in 1839. After these losses he gave up his house in Park Street, and lived alternately at the house of his wife's sister at Clapton, and his brother's widow at Daventry. In 1842, owing to the infirmities of age, he resigned the treasurership of the National Society, but he still interested himself in religious and philanthropic work; and when the new missionary college of St. Augustine, Canterbury, was founded in 1845, he was one of the council. He
retained the treasurership of the Additional Curates' Society until he approached his eighty-third year. He died at Clapton, 30 January 1855, and was buried on 7 Feb in the family vault at Hackney.

Watson was an interesting link between the high-churchmen before, and the high-churchmen after, the Oxford movement. Dr. Pusey, after several interviews with him at Brighton in 1842-3, wrote to him: "One had become so much the object of suspicion, that I cannot say how cheering it was to be recognised by you as carrying on the same torch which we had received from yourself and from those of your generation who had remained faithful to the old teaching." But Watson did not sympathise entirely with the Oxford movement; there were many points on which he entirely disagreed. He gratefully recognised, however, its good effects, and never lost his confidence in its future. John Keble's Christian Year was one of his favourite books, and he was an admirer and constant reader of Newman's sermons.

He was too diffident to write anything on his own account; his only publication of note was an edition of Hele's Sacred Offices (a book of devotions which he always used himself) in 1825. This had a large circulation on its first appearance, and a still larger on its republication in 1842. There is an excellent miniature of Watson by Sir William Charles Ross.

The action of 11 November 2008 was a naval engagement fought off Somalia between pirates and British forces. Russia has stated that its forces fought off the pirates also, though Russia's involvement has been disputed by the Royal Navy. The incident took place  south of the Yemeni coast, in the Gulf of Aden. When the Royal Navy ship , "attached to the NATO task force in the region" attempted to board a Somali pirate dhow with twelve pirates on board, the pirates initially resisted with assault rifle fire. After a brief shoot-out with the Royal Marines, two pirates were killed and the dhow was captured by Cumberland. The Times has described the incident as "the first time the Royal Navy had been engaged in a fatal shoot-out on the high seas in living memory." The Independent has also stated that the confrontation "is believed to be the first time recently that British naval service personnel have been involved in a confrontation that resulted in deaths", and The Toronto Star has stated that the engagement is "the first time since the 1982 Falklands War that the Royal Navy had killed anyone on the high seas."

Background

As of 11 November 2008, 32 ships had been hijacked in the Gulf of Aden by pirates. The Gulf of Aden has been described as "a treacherous stretch for ships, particularly along the Somali coast". To protect commercial vessels off the coast of Somalia, a multi-national task force was deployed to the area.

Incident
On 11 November pirates on board a dhow attacked , a Danish-registered cargo ship, using assault rifles in a failed attempt to hijack the ship. A Russian Navy spokesman, Igor Dygalo, said that the pirates attempted twice to capture the ship, and were rebuffed by British and Russian helicopters operating from  and the Russian frigate Neustrashimy respectively. However, Russian involvement in preventing the pirates from capturing Powerful has been disputed by the Royal Navy.

Later that day, Cumberland detected the dhow, which was towing a skiff, and identified it as a vessel involved in the attack against Powerful. The Royal Marines unit on board Cumberland was dispatched in Rigid Raider craft towards the dhow. The Marines then proceeded to circle the dhow, which had on board 12 men armed with rocket launchers and machine guns, in an attempt to force it to stop.

The pirates opened fire on them, but no casualties were sustained by the Marines. Returning fire, the Marines killed two Somalis. The pirates subsequently surrendered, and the Marines boarded the dhow. The Royal Navy described the boarding itself as "compliant". Russia has claimed that one of its helicopters, based aboard Neustrashimy, was involved in this firefight between the pirates and the Marines, though the Royal Navy deny this claim, stating that the Marines were supported by a Lynx helicopter from HMS Cumberland.

Aftermath

On board the dhow was a Yemeni male who, despite receiving emergency treatment, died from his injuries.  The British Ministry of Defence reported that it was unclear as to whether the fatal injuries were the result of the gunfight, or whether they were sustained beforehand.  The incident, according to The Times, "signalled a new policy of maximum robustness for the Royal Navy on the high seas".

The remaining eight men who had been captured on board the dhow along with the bodies of the two pirates killed were transferred to RFA Wave Knight.  The eight survivors were handed over to Kenyan authorities in Mombasa on November 18 while the two dead pirates were later buried at sea off the eastern coast of Somalia.

Brunflo IK is a Swedish ice hockey club based in Brunflo. It was founded in 1975, and currently plays in the Norra group of Division 1, the third tier of ice hockey in Sweden.

Internationally Brunflo is probably the best known as being the team in which the legendary Soviet and Russian forward Vladimir Krutov ended his career in 1996. More recently also his former linemate Igor Larionov (in 2006) as well as a fellow NHL veteran Scott Young (in 2012) were invited to repeat the feat, albeit rather as mere publicity stunts.

Marvelyn Brown (born May 7, 1984) is an African-American author and AIDS activist. She is the founder of Marvelous Connections, an HIV/AIDS organization founded in 2006. She wrote the autobiography The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful and (HIV) Positive, which tells her story as a young heterosexual woman living with HIV. She has delivered public speeches and made public appearances in the United States, Bermuda, Canada, Jamaica, Mexico, the Virgin Islands, South Africa, Tanzania, and Rwanda.

Early life
Brown was born on May 7, 1984, in Nashville, Tennessee. She describes in her autobiography that she had regular clashes with her mother, but the two have since reconciled. She has two half-siblings with whom she keeps in contact, but has not actually met them in person due to them living across the country from her.

HIV diagnosis
Having little knowledge on HIV, Brown was unaware that the disease could be contracted through heterosexual sex. She was a healthy track and basketball athlete but began showing symptoms of an unknown illness that became critical enough to put her in an intensive-care unit. Doctors were unable to determine the cause of her illness, and Brown began to wonder if she had contracted HIV. She was diagnosed HIV-positive thereafter at the age of 19 in 2003, and discovered she had contracted the virus from her boyfriend at the time. In an interview with The Body, Brown stated "How did I not know that the virus was sexually transmitted? I felt I had been robbed by my community, my school and my church. The mantras I had heard over and over again growing up — 'Don't do drugs; don't get pregnant; don't smoke' — suddenly seemed so worthless. Never had someone mentioned the possibility of me, Marvelyn Brown, contracting HIV from unprotected sex. I had seen it as something only Africans or gay men got."

HIV/AIDS activism
Her humanitarian work earned her a 2007 Emmy Award for Outstanding National PSA, and she won the Do Something Award in 2009. She was inducted into The Heroes In The Struggle Photo Exhibit by The Magic Johnson Foundation and The Black AIDS Institute in 2010 and named a Modern Day Black History month hero by BET and was honored by the New Jersey NETS in 2011. She has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, America's Next Top Model, CNN, MTV, BET, and The Tavis Smiley Show. She has also appeared in Newsweek, Ebony Magazine, and Real Health magazines. Her public-service announcement for Think MTV won an Emmy Award. Brown was named one of the Top 25 Heroes of the past twenty-five years of the AIDS epidemic, alongside Alicia Keys, Magic Johnson and Phill Wilson. Her stories had been featured in British publications of Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Pride, and Fabulous Magazine and has been featured on the covers A&U, POZ, and The Ave.

Accusations of HIV/AIDS glorification
On October 3, 2008, Brown posted to her blog that she had been accused of glorifying her illness. "I am constantly being accused of glamorizing AIDS. Really? There is nothing glamorous about taking 7 horse pills that still make me gage [sic] after 4 1⁄2 years taking them. I contracted a 100% PREVENTABLE disease, people, which that is my message, not how glamorous I look doing it!"

Two days earlier, she elaborated on why she had written The naked Truth, adding, "I wrote The Naked Truth because I wanted people to get the full story and not a sound bite or the one-hour preping speaking engagement. Most people can’t identify with who I am now because I am HIV-Positive but they can identify with who I was before. That is what makes me relate and shows people that I am just like them. This virus is real and just because you are ignorant or uneducated about HIV that does not make you immune. That is why I wrote The Naked Truth. I can’t be everywhere but my story can."

2010 press conference
On September 23, 2010, Brown held a press conference at the City College of New York. She educated attendees on the dangers of unsafe sex and HIV, for which she was required to accommodate to a new lifestyle. She shared that her medications often cause her to experience side effects, and recalled having to take forty-two pills in one day. However, she stated her average intake is eight pills a day. She commented that her illness is like “having a baby” to her because there's no vacation while taking medication. She openly stated she had previously wished to die, but after surviving a car accident is glad to have been given a "second chance", and says she has found God, to whom she gives thanks every day for still being alive today.

Personal life
Brown continues to write and has dedicated her life to HIV/AIDS awareness. She has joked in the past that she will produce a sequel to The Naked Truth in the future, titled “The Naked Truth: Wife, Mother, and Still HIV Positive.” She lives in New York City, New York.

Ford Times was a monthly publication produced by Ford Motor Company. The first issue was published on April 15, 1908, until April 1917, ceasing publication with America's entry into World War I. After a more than 20-year break, Ford Times resumed publishing in 1943. This iteration of the magazine would last 50 years until January 1993. The magazines were similar to Reader's Digest and Yankee.  Ford Times magazines were 4x6 inches in size and later 5x7 inches in size. Each issue usually consisted of several stories about destinations for sports or vacations or of historic interest, by such writers as Edward Ware Smith, Corey Ford, Bernard De Voto, and Edward Weeks as well as promotional information about current Ford vehicles. Early issues were monochrome. Issues in the 1950s and 1960s featured many paintings. Arthur Lougee was the art director then of both the Ford company's New England Journeys,  Ford Times and Lincoln Mercury Times. He featured in these publications dozens of America's contemporary watercolor artists such as John Whorf, Henry McDaniel, Forrest Orr, Glenn MacNutt, Loring Coleman, Stuart Eldridge, Paul Sample, King Coffin, Maxwell Mays, Robert Paul Thorpe, Estelle Coniff, WD Hartley, Glen Krause, JWS Cox, C Robert Perrin, Edward Turner, Ward Cruickshank II, Alphonse J Shelton, RJ Holden, Dorothy Manuel, Frederick James, William Barss, Campbell Tinning, Eunice Utterback, Andrew Winter.  Paintings by Charley Harper and Henry E McDaniel were often on the covers. Mount Pleasant-based folk artist Grace McArthur contributed an oil painting for the cover of the December 1972 edition.

Ford Times Cookbooks
A few cookbooks with recipes from past issues of Ford Times were produced.

Ford Truck Times
Ford also produced a series of Truck Times magazines, released quarterly. These were slightly larger, and contained stories that revolved around trucks, as well as information about camping and vacation destinations similar to the regular Ford Times magazines.

Abigail Elliott (born June 16, 1987) is an American actress, comedian, and impressionist. Elliott is best known for her tenure as a cast member on the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live from 2008 to 2012. Since her departure from SNL, she has starred on the Bravo comedy Odd Mom Out, NBC sitcom Indebted and the Hulu comedy drama series The Bear. She is the daughter of Chris Elliott and sister of Bridey Elliott.

Early life
Elliott was born on June 16, 1987, in New York City, the elder of two children. She is the daughter of Paula Niedert, a talent coordinator, and actor/comedian Chris Elliott. Her grandfather was radio comedian Bob Elliott. Her younger sister is actress Bridey Elliott; they were both raised in Wilton, Connecticut. She attended high school at Immaculate High School in Danbury, Connecticut, where she acted in school plays and musicals. After graduating from Immaculate High School in 2005, she attended Marymount Manhattan College in New York City but dropped out during her first semester.

Career
Elliott took comedy classes at The Groundlings and eventually began training and performing in various sketch comedy shows at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (UCB) in Los Angeles.

In 2006, Elliott appeared with supporting roles for the pilots You've Reached the Elliotts and Chrissy: Plain & Simple, both sitcoms that star her father, Chris Elliott. While at UCBT, she frequently performed with The Midnight Show sketch troupe. She has also occasionally performed comedy with her sister Bridey. Before joining the cast of SNL, Elliott had also done guest voices roles on King of the Hill and Minoriteam. She has also been featured in a number of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon sketches such as "Jersey Floor" and "Studio 6-Bee". Elliott made her film debut with a small role in No Strings Attached, and has since had supporting roles in the films High Road and Fun Size.

After leaving SNL in 2012, Elliott has made guest appearances on television programs such as 2 Broke Girls, How I Met Your Mother, Happy Endings, and Inside Amy Schumer. From 2015 to 2017, she co-starred on the Bravo series Odd Mom Out. In 2020, she starred in the Fran Drescher sitcom Indebted on NBC.

Saturday Night Live
Elliott joined the cast of SNL midway through the 2008–2009 season (season 34), in November 2008, following the departure of Amy Poehler. She is the third generation of her family to have been featured on SNL. She is the second generation of her family to be hired as a cast member, and her tenure on the show was longer than both her father and grandfather. Her father, Chris Elliott, was an SNL cast member during the 1994–1995 season (season 20) and her grandfather, Bob Elliott, was one half of the popular comedy duo Bob & Ray. Bob Elliott co-starred on a Christmas episode in the 1978–1979 season (season 4).

After four seasons on SNL, Elliott was let go from the show prior to its 38th season.

Personal life
In 2010, Elliott dated fellow Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen. They ended their relationship in September 2011.

Elliott married television writer Bill Kennedy on September 3, 2016. They have a daughter, Edith Pepper Kennedy and a son, William ‘Billy’ Joseph Lunney Kennedy IV.

Reed C. Waddell (c. 1860 – March 27, 1895) was an American swindler, confidence man and underworld figure in New York during the mid- to late 19th century. He was one of the most successful men of his trade making nearly a quarter of a million dollars using his "gold brick" swindle, a con game which he invented and introduced to New York in 1880, and from which the term "goldbricker" originated.

Waddell was also involved in schemes with other prominent confidence men, including attempts to sell the Brooklyn Bridge, before his murder by noted bunco artist Tom O'Brien in 1895.

Biography
Waddell was born in Springfield, Illinois, shortly before the American Civil War. Although raised in a respectable upper-middle-class family, he became known as a high-stakes gambler and was eventually cut off by his family before the age of 21. He arrived in 1880 in New York, where he offered the first gold brick ever offered for sale. This was part of his famed "gold brick" game in which the buyer, believing to be purchasing a gold brick from the U.S. Assayer's Office, was getting a lead bar with triple gold-plating and a rough finish with a small chunk of solid gold sunk in the middle. It also appeared to bear the official markings, such as the "U.S." and the name of the assayer stamped on either end of the gold bar and had the weight and fineness stamped on the underside.

The victim was brought to an accomplice posing as an assayer, who occupied an office and displayed the necessary equipment, who confirmed Waddell's claims. If the person was still not convinced, Waddell would take out a slug of real gold and suggest he take that piece to a jewelers where, even if the victim took him up on his offer, he would be satisfied when it was correctly identified by the jeweler. Waddell sold his first brick for $4,000 and began manufacturing bricks which were sold for between $3,500 and $7,000. He also expanded his operations into the "green goods" or sawdust swindle and, between the two ventures, he reportedly made $250,000 within ten years.

Waddell eventually moved his operations to Paris, France, working in partnership with Tom O'Brien, but was murdered by him there in an argument over shares of a bunco swindle on March 27, 1895. He had been shot several times by O'Brien, twice in the back and chest as well as suffering wounds to his head and heart, at the Northern Railway Station. O'Brien was arrested by French authorities; however, his trial was postponed when the United States Department of State requested that he be extradited to the United States.

Waddell's remains were buried in his hometown, at Oak Ridge Cemetery.

Dick Brooks is a United States magician and entertainer. He began his career in show business at the age of 10, and since that time has worked in TV commercials, stand-up comedy, writing, children's entertainment, and army shows, and performed in night clubs, casinos, and magic venues. Focus Magazine described Brooks as a "magician of renown".

Early years

As a teenager Brooks joined a magic club headed by the official magician of New York City, Abe Hurwitz (Peter Pan the Magic Man). When Hurwitz left the Peter Pan Magic Club, the club changed its name to Future American Magical Entertainers (F.A.M.E.) on Brooks's suggestion. This laid the foundation for the Society of American Magicians, who at first did not allow youngsters to join, but formed the Society of Young Magicians (S.Y.M.) for youngsters in 1984.

As a teenager, Brooks was booked by Skipper Dawes, who booked him as a regular performer doing commercials for Tootsie Rolls on the Paul Whiteman TV show Teen Club in Philadelphia. He traveled there alone at weekends, after getting the script by mail. He was eventually replaced by 23-year-old announcer Dick Clark. In 1972 Brooks appeared on The David Susskind Show about young comedians looking for a break in show business. When drafted into the army he was placed in Special Service, the entertainment branch of the military. After leaving the military he became a songwriter, writing dozens of songs including the track "Power House".

The Magic Towne House
Brooks was the co-founder, with Dorothy Dietrich, of the Magic Towne House on the Upper East Side, which presented magic in New York City for over 15 years. Brooks and Dietrich resurrected Brother Theodore's career in the 1970s, booking him to do several seasons of midnight shows at The Magic Towne House, which led to a long series of TV and movie appearances. While at the Magic Towne House, Brooks established a 64-page magazine for magicians, Hocus Pocus Magazine, which ran for three years.

Houdini-related projects
Wanting a larger facility and a place to house his collection of Houdini memorabilia, Brooks and Dietrich opened The Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

For many years Brooks and Dietrich maintained Harry Houdini's abandoned grave. On September 27, 2011, along with escape artist Steve Moore, they restored the missing statuary bust at Houdini's grave site that was destroyed by vandals in 1975. The event was reported in The New York Times, who nicknamed them the Houdini Commandos. On September 13, 2014, David W. Bowers, president of the worldwide Society of American Magicians, issued Dick Brooks a Certificate of Appreciation for his work taking care of Houdini's grave.

Brooks has worked as a Houdini consultant for various media outlets including The Travel Channel, The New York Times, The London Times, Inside Magic, and The New York Daily News. He appeared on the Travel Channel show Magic Road Trip, which also aired on CBC.

In 2014 Brooks and Dietrich created a board game based on the Houdini Museum, named HoudiniOpoly, which took two years to develop. The project was funded by a Kickstarter campaign from early 2017, which raised over $14,000, with investors including John Cox of WildaboutHoudini.com, Joe Notaro of HarryHoudiniCircumstantialEvidence.com, and Dean Carnegie of TheMagicDetective.com, as well as the game being sanctioned and supported by The Society of American Magicians.

Appearances

As well as a number of corporate and celebrity parties, Brooks has appeared on television on such shows as Atlantic City Alive, Travel Channel's Magic Road Trip, Biography Channel's Dead Famous-Houdini, Evening Magazine, Good Morning America, Home Box Office, Canada's Deals From The Dark Side, and twice as a special guest on Travel Channel's Mysteries At The Museum.

He is currently starring in Psychic Theater's production "HAUNTED! Mind Mysteries & THE Beyond!". The Fall 2008 issue of the Pennsylvania Tourism Office's magazine, Pennsylvania Pursuits, named Brooks' Psychic Theater as the 9th most haunted place in Pennsylvania.

Brooks has also worked as a magic consultant for the New York Shakespeare Festival, Woody Allen's "The Magic Light Bulb" at New York's City Center, and Radio City Music Hall. He has also interviewed celebrities such as Uri Geller, has written several books, and invented a number of magical effects.

Wasatch Mountain State Park is a state park of Utah, United States, located in the northern part of the state within the Wasatch Back area on the north and west edges of the Heber Valley in Wasatch County near the city of Midway.

Description

Established in 1961, Wasatch Mountain State Park is Utah's most developed state park. Named for the Wasatch Mountains, the park consists of , and sits at an elevation of . Wildlife in the park includes deer, elk, wild turkeys, and moose. Although the southern part of Wasatch Mountain State Park is adjacent to the northeast part of Deer Creek State Park, the two parks only share a short section of common border.

Of the forty state parks in Utah, Wasatch Mountain State Park was the fifth most visited during the Fiscal Year 2017. During that period, 360,338 guests visited the park, representing a 6.7 percent increase over FY2016.

Park facilities
Wasatch Mountain State Park is used for mountain activities such as camping, picnicking, hiking, off-road vehicle use, horseback riding, Nordic skiing, snow tubing, and snowmobiling. It is also home to Wasatch Mountain and Soldier Hollow golf courses. Unlike a large majority of Utah's state parks, it is not related to a body of water (reservoir, lake, etc.).

There are 139 campsites at the park, along with two pavilions for group use, restrooms, showers, and utility hookups.

Soldier Hollow was host to some of the events of the 2002 Winter Olympics. The venue remains open to the public year-round, offering Nordic skiing, tubing, snowshoeing, a summer and winter biathlon, and in-line skating facilities.

Access
There are three sections of the park, each with a different access route. The main part of the park, including the park headquarters/visitors center, campgrounds, and the Wasatch Golf Course, is most easily reached via Utah State Route 222 (east Main Street) from Midway. It may also be accessed (except during the winter and early spring) by way of Pine Canyon Road from Guardsman Pass Road (from Big Cottonwood Canyon) or Utah State Route 224 (from Park City). The Soldier Hollow portion, which includes the cross country ski resort and the Soldier Hallow Golf Course, is most easily accessed by way of Tate Road (from Utah State Route 113 in Charleston) and then turning south on Stringtown Road. (Until 1990, this route was designated as Utah State Route 220.) Dutch Hollow, the least visited area, which includes a hiking trail, is reached via Dutch Canyon Road from River Road on the eastern edge of Midway.

History
Wasatch Mountain State Park contains three historic features. The restored Tate Barn, at the south end of the park, is a recognized landmark and Heber Valley symbol. It is a classic wooden barn built in the 1890s.  Huber Grove, a 100-year-old apple orchard, features the Huber Farmhouse and Creamery. The third feature is the Snake Creek Hydroelectric Power Plant Historic District. However, most facets of the district are currently not directly accessible by the public.

Andrew of Fleury was a Christian monk and contemporary historian of the Peace and Truce of God movements.

A Benedictine at Fleury Abbey, Andrew's chief work was Miracula sancti Benedicti ("The Miracles of Saint Benedict"), written c.1043. He records that in 1038 Aimon, Archbishop of Bourges, forced his suffragans to swear an oath to fight the enemies of the church, and made every male fifteen years old or older swear the same oath to his diocesan. A "peace army", composed mainly of clerics and peasants, was formed and much bloodshed followed. Andrew disapproves of Aimon's actions, arguing that the "peace army" soon became blinded by ambition.

Andrew visited Catalonia on at least one occasion. He is the most detailed and accurate source for the Battle of Torà in 1003. He records the presence, on the Christian side, of four counts: Raymond Borell of Barcelona, Bernard I of Besalú, Wifred II of Cerdagne, and Ermengol I of Urgell. He is in error, however, when he records that the Caliph of Córdoba, Hisham II, died in the encounter, which is probably a local legend. The actual leader of the Muslim army was Abdelmelik, the son of hajib Almanzor. Andrew reports the battle in terms as if describing a holy war. The Muslims, whose numbers he puts at 17 000, are "new Philistines", the Christians are aided by the saints Peter and Michael and the Virgin Mary, who announces the Christian victory as far away as Monte Sant'Angelo. Despite the theme of religious warfare, Spanish historians have not picked up on Andrew's account.

Andrew also wrote a Vita Gauzlini ("Life of Gauzlin") about the former abbot of his house, Gauzlin. He reports that Gauzlin mistakenly believed that the "heretics of Orléans" nuptias non prohibeo, secunda matrimonio non dampno ("they do not prohibit weddings, according to which they do not damn marriage"); Andrew more accurately reports that nuptias con benedictione non debere fieri, sed accipiat quiscumque qualiter voluerit ("weddings with a blessing they forbid to be made, rather they consider as indebted whomever wills it"). Andrew also includes a copy of the letter Gauzlin addressed to Robert II of France in 1022, after the king asked him why blood had been seen to fall from the sky. He also records the poem to which the cycle of Apocalyptic frescoes at Fleury, commission by Gauzlin, corresponds.

The Goathaunt Bunkhouse was built as a service structure by the Glacier Park Hotel Company for the development of the Goathaunt site in Glacier National Park. This was part of the Great Northern Railway's broader development of the park as a tourist destination. The bunkhouse is the last surviving structure of this era at this location, near the southern end of Waterton Lake. Its design has been attributed to National Park Service landscape architect Thomas Chalmers Vint.

The site is at the southern end of Waterton Lake, near the modern Goat Haunt Ranger Station. It was built to house the crew of the M.V. International, a small passenger launch that plied the route between the American and Canadian ends of Waterton Lake.

Destry is an indie folk band centered on Michelle DaRosa.

History
Michelle DaRosa announced her departure from Straylight in June 2008 in order to work on a solo album. The Destry project was made public in October 2008, when Sam Means of the Format posted that he had been recording music for them for a few months. Destry's current work currently consists of collaborations between Michelle and four other artists, Means, drummer Nico Childrey and Tyler Odom who played together in Cassino, and bassist Shaun Cooper of Straylight Run and Taking Back Sunday.

DaRosa said all five have collaborated, but have never been in the same room together.  The band was proven to have finally been all together by a MySpace blog post by her on February 2, 2009. She also says the only members of a possible tour would be herself, Nico, and Shaun. In June 2009, the band went on a tour of the US with the Narrative. Destry's first studio album, It Goes On, was released on October 30, 2009.

Trosterud is a neighborhood in Alna borough in Oslo, Norway.

The place is named after Trosterud farm. The farm is preserved and is located in Dr. Dedichens vei.

Trosterud was developed in the 1960s and 1970s, but also had some small-house buildings before that. During the same period, trosterud center was completed. Today, the centre consists of a Kiwi shop, kiosk (MIX), youth club, medical centre and a physical institute. The centre's façade was refurbished in the autumn of 2013 and the youth club reopened in January 2014. The outdoor area has been given new lighting and planting.

Trosterud school was established in 1969, and Trosterud station at Furusetbanen in 1974. The school closest to Trosterud is Lutvann School.

Dr. Dedichens vei, which cuts through the area from Tvetenveien up to lake Lutvann, is named after Henrik Dedichen, who built a mental hospital at Trosterud in early 1901. Henrik Dedichen founded and ran "Dr. Dedichens privatasyl" at Trosterud in Østre Aker from 1901 to 1933, and worked for reforms in the field of mental health care and the legislation surrounding it.

The asylum itself is preserved, along with the old residence and the remains of a formal garden with a small water mirror. The accommodation is currently used as a kindergarten called Nordre Trosterud Gård barnehage. Several sculptures have been deployed around the "villa".

Today, the neighborhood is known for its diverse population, with a mixture of different nationalities and ethnicities.

Trosterud is served by Oslo T-bane's Trosterud station with four departures every hour. The ride to downtown Oslo takes about 17 minutes. There are also two bus services to Trosterud.

Gregory Charles Arnold is an Australian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and academic. Arnold won the APRA Songwriter of the Year award in 1993 and performs regularly as a solo artist and with his folk rock band, Things of Stone and Wood.

Biography
By 1986 Greg Arnold was lead vocalist with Melbourne indie rock band, 13 at Midnight, which released a cover version of "She Sells Sanctuary" (originally by The Cult), on Cleopatra Records. The original line-up were Arnold, Russell Hall on bass guitar, Peter Pilley on drums, and Byron Smith on lead guitar (music journalist at Juke Magazine). Hall was soon replaced by Michael Allen on bass guitar. The group followed with an album, Warring Tribes, in 1987 on Cleopatra Records.

By 1989 the group, 13 at Midnight, had disbanded, Arnold recalled in March 1993, "I wasn't particularly keen to get into a band after Thirteen at Midnight ... but [Allen] kind of talked me into it really, and I think from that we learnt a few things we didn't want to do again – and it's worked out". In 1989 after a break of a few months with Arnold on lead vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards; and Allen on bass guitar, backing vocals, guitar, keyboards; they formed a folk rock group, Things of Stone and Wood, with Justin Brady on violin, mandolin, harmonica, guitar; and Tony Floyd on drums, percussion, recorder, backing vocals.

Arnold explained the group's name, "[its] kind of organic and evocative, yeah, that's right. I'll have to remember that one". One of their earliest gigs was the 21st birthday party for Arnold's then-girlfriend, Helen Durham. Arnold wrote "Happy Birthday Helen", for Durham's 22nd birthday:

Durham recalled being told by fans that "she was not the subject of the song ... People would say they knew the real Helen". Arnold and Durham were later married. "Happy Birthday Helen" was issued in December 1992, which peaked at No. 9 on the ARIA Singles Chart, the highest point for any of the band's singles. The group issued their debut album, The Yearning, in March the following year, which reached No.8 on the related ARIA Albums Chart. Arnold wrote most of the songs for the group. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1993 the group won 'Best New Talent'.
 During late that year they were touring Europe, including a support gig for Midnight Oil in the United Kingdom. While there Arnold won 'Songwriter of the Year' at the 1993 APRA Awards.

The group released additional material until late 1998 when they went into hiatus including "Junk Theatre" (which also reached No 8 on the ARIA Albums Chart) and "Wildflowers" (which was one of APRA's top four radio played songs for 1994) . During the hiatus Arnold formed the Greg Arnold Trio, which performed in Melbourne. He then formed Tricycle (aka Greg Arnold's Tricycle) with Anita Hustas on double bass and Ian Kitney on drums. They released their debut album, Super, in September 1999. The lead single, "Oh No Not You Again", preceded it in August. They enjoyed extensive airplay on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Super was named album of the week by Coast FM in January 2001.

Things of Stone & Wood reconvened in 2001, releasing further albums. They disbanded by 2006. Arnold released a second album in November that year, Lost Marie, a collection of melodic short stories. Arnold said "I’ve been banging on about myself for about twenty years... I thought it was about time to make something up". His ballads are about a variety of social non-conformists. He was accompanied on acoustic instrumentation by Kitney on drums and Pete Haydon on brass, percussion and supporting vocals.

Arnold has continued to write songs, perform, and produce records for other artists including Melbourne indie-rock band Skipping Girl Vinegar, Carus Thompson, Stonefield and Georgia Fields acoustic group Junior's LP Sample (2000) and Restless (2001), Merri-May Gill's Designated Driver (2004). For Designated Driver Arnold also co-wrote four tracks with Gill, and supplied guitar and bass guitar.

From 2007 he was part of a trio, Greg Arnold and the Lost Marias (which became The Swamp Dandies). This act also has John Bedggood (Bernard Fanning) on fiddle, mando and piano and Ian Kitney (Tim Rogers) on drums. His 2011 album with The Swamp Dandies received great reviews ("nimble...horse power pop" Rhythms Magazine) and gained international recognition when the "charming" and "hilarious" clip for "Olivia" was endorsed by Olivia Newton-John.

Personal life
Greg Arnold married Helen Durham (born ca. 1968), who is, as of June 2014, the Director of International Law and Policy for the International Committee of the Red Cross and was a fellow at Melbourne Law School . Arnold has a Bachelor of Arts (Honours in English Literature) from Melbourne University and a Masters of Education (Arts Administration) from RMIT. He has a PhD from University of Tasmania. He was a senior lecturer and the head of the Bachelor of Music Industry program at Melbourne Polytechnic from 2011 to 2014 when it was known as NMIT.

The couple have two children.

In 2006 Arnold wrote "Close My Eyes" for the Australian Red Cross and recorded it with former Midnight Oil drummer, Rob Hirst, and Paul Greene. The song received airplay across Asia. Arnold related "[it] was inspired by the realisation that it is so easy to ignore all the terrible news in the world. The onslaught of images one sees and hears via various media outlets can make us emotionally immune".

Arnold currently plays as a key forward for the Geneva Jets in The AFL Switzerland football league. Due to his graceful elegance, and composure under pressure, Arnold is known by his teammates as "Dr Silk". Arnold's reliable set-shot and forward-line creativity has helped the Jets establish themselves as the dominant force in the Swiss Australian Football League. Arnold was a linchpin of the Jets 2019 Reserve and Senior twin premierships, booting three and two goals in the respective Grand Finals.

Neuhabsburg Castle () is a privately owned castle located in Meggen, Lucerne, Switzerland, built on the ruins of a much older castle.  In 1244 the income from the land was granted to the Fraumünster Abbey in Zurich.  In 1244/5 the original castle was built by the Habsburg family on the shore of Lake Lucerne.  The castle may have been built to replace the old Meggenhorn fort.  While it may have been the summer home of Rudolph I it mostly served as the administration building for a small Habsburg department that covered Weggis, Lipperswil, Küssnacht, Immensee, Kehrsiten, Greppen, Udligenswil, Arth and Holzhäusern.  The castle was damaged in 1245 following the excommunication of Frederick II by Pope Innocent IV at the Council of Lyon.
Following the creation of the Old Swiss Confederacy in 1291, the castle was an obstacle to the new Confederation.  However, it was not destroyed until 1352, after Lucerne had joined the original Forest Cantons.

Of the original castle only portions of the square main tower, a thick ring wall and several other buildings remain.

The current castle was built in 1871 in a Gothic Revival style and remains privately owned.

Portrait of a Beauty () is a 2008 South Korean film directed by Jeon Yun-su. Adapted from the bestselling novel Painter of the Wind () by Lee Jung-myung, the film portrays Joseon-era painter Sin Yun-bok (better known by his pen name, Hyewon) as being a woman disguised as a man.

Portrait of a Beauty opened in South Korean theaters on 13 November 2008. It was the 8th most attended domestic film of 2008 with 2,364,482 tickets sold.

Plot
Retired court painter Sin Han-pyeong seeks to settle an old score with the most sought-after painter of that time, Kim Hong-do (Kim Young-ho). Sin raises his son to surpass Kim Hong-do, but his son commits suicide over his lack of talent. The father then pushes his daughter Yun-jeong to disguise herself as her brother and enter the world of court painters.

The grown-up Yun-jeong (Kim Gyu-ri), now known under the pen name "Hyewon," finally enters the court and learns to paint under the guidance of Kim Hong-do, who is trusted by King Jeongjo.

Kim Hong-do quickly notices Yun-bok's huge potential as well as his girlish features. Things remain normal until Yun-bok goes out and comes across a playful seller of mirrors, Kang-mu (Kim Nam-gil). When their romantic adventure takes off, it is Kim Hong-do who ends up heartbroken. Kim's jealousy, and his desire to own Yun-bok physically and emotionally, soars to a perilous level.

Artistic license
Sin Yun-bok, better known by the pen name Hyewon, was a real historical figure who produced a host of thematically provocative and artistically excellent paintings in the 18th century. However, not one record of the painter still exists.

Several art history scholars have criticized the Korean entertainment industry for distorting historical facts about the painter, who was unquestionably a man. The novel had also been adapted into the television series Painter of the Wind.
