Sam Cooper Boulevard is an urban highway in Memphis, Tennessee, United States. The more recent western segment of the road follows a parkway design, while the older eastern portion, which was proposed and constructed as a segment of Interstate 40 (I-40), is built as a freeway, without at-grade intersections and traffic lights. The western terminus of Sam Cooper Boulevard is at East Parkway North. At the western termination point of the road there is a short concurrency of East Parkway North with U.S. Route 64 (US 64), US 70, and US 79. From its western end, Sam Cooper Boulevard continues east for  to reach its eastern terminus at the I-40/I-240 interchange.

The road was originally planned in the 1950s. It was proposed as a segment of I-40 that would intersect the center of Memphis and continue west to Arkansas. The proposed route would have cut through Overton Park, an old forest public park in Memphis. Following a United States Supreme Court decision in 1971 the route was revised, I-40 was routed around Memphis in the north and plans of routing an Interstate highway through the city were abandoned. Ownership of the completed segments of the highway was transferred to the City of Memphis. As a road that is owned and maintained by the City of Memphis, no route number is assigned to Sam Cooper Boulevard.

History

Proposed route

In the 1950s, I-240 was planned as a complete loop around Memphis, consisting of a southern leg and a northern leg. I-40 was proposed to be routed through the center of the City of Memphis and to continue west into Arkansas over the Hernando de Soto Bridge, which was opened in 1973 and carries the traffic on modern I-40 over the Mississippi River. The I-240 loop was planned to route traffic not destined for Memphis around the city and to improve the flow of increasing traffic. The proposed I-240 loop would connect westbound and eastbound traffic to I-40 and southbound and northbound traffic to I-55.

What is now known as Sam Cooper Boulevard was planned as a segment of I-40, intersecting Memphis and distributing eastbound and westbound traffic with a destination in Memphis within the city. After a U.S. Supreme Court ruling stopped the plans to complete the section of I-40 cutting through Memphis in 1971, I-40 was re-routed. The routing of modern I-40 coincides with the proposed routing of the northern leg of I-240. Instead of the proposed I-240 loop around Memphis, the modern routing designates I-240 as the southern leg of the loop and I-40 as the northern leg of the loop.

From the west to the east, the proposed routing of Sam Cooper Boulevard coincides with the route of modern I-40 from the Hernando de Soto Bridge in downtown Memphis to the modern I-40/I-240 interchange west of North Bellevue Boulevard in midtown Memphis. East of the I-40/I-240 interchange, the proposed route of Sam Cooper Boulevard would have been routed almost due east for circa , parallel to and south of Overton Park Avenue and north of Peach Avenue until it reached Evergreen Street. From there, it would have continued northeast for about  to reach the intersection of Galloway Avenue and North McLean Boulevard. From there, the route would have continued roughly to the east, parallel to and about  south of North Parkway, just south of the Memphis Zoo and cutting through the northern portion of Overton Park, to connect to the western terminus of modern Sam Cooper Boulevard at East Parkway North. At the western terminus of Sam Cooper Boulevard there is a concurrency of East Parkway North with US 70, US 79 for  south of Summer Avenue and north of Union Avenue. East Parkway North also overlaps State Route 277.

Namesake
In 1968, the road was named after Sam Cooper, a Memphis businessman and longtime president of the Humko Corporation, a refinery of vegetable oils. He also was the vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Memphis. Cooper used his wealth to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the University of Tennessee Medical School.

Citizen protests

In 1971, the United States Supreme Court in the case of Citizens to Preserve Overton Park v. Volpe stopped an extension of I-40 through Overton Park. Sam Cooper Boulevard was originally planned as an extension of I-40 to intersect the City of Memphis. The proposed route was completed as proposed east of North Highland Street and west of I-240 in Berclair, in the northeastern quadrant of Memphis. The portion of Sam Cooper Boulevard west of North Highland Street was never built as planned.

The unbuilt portion west of East Parkway North was not completed because it was proposed to go through Overton Park, the Memphis Zoo, and several historic neighborhoods of Memphis. Citizens residing in the neighborhoods of midtown Memphis along the route of the proposed highway were able to stop the route cutting through the old forest of Overton Park in the lawsuit.

Once the case was decided by the United States Supreme Court, the ownership of the completed segments of Sam Cooper Boulevard was given to the City of Memphis. Instead of following the planned route cutting through the center of Memphis, I-40 was routed around Memphis in the north. The new routing of I-40 to the north of Memphis follows the proposed northern leg of the I-240 loop.

Construction of the route segment of Sam Cooper Boulevard west of North Highland Street and east of East Parkway North began in 2001 and was completed in 2003. The construction did not follow the originally proposed freeway design for the road but implemented a parkway design with at-grade intersections, a raised median, traffic lights and sidewalks for pedestrians.

21st century

Extension to East Parkway

In 2001, the City of Memphis began construction on an extension of Sam Cooper Boulevard west of the North Highland Street exit. After completion of the first phase of construction, Sam Cooper Boulevard transitioned into Broad Avenue between North Holmes Street and Vandalia Street, about  west of North Highland Street. The route coinciding with Broad Avenue had several intersections with traffic signals and two major railroad crossings, creating traffic congestion at peak times. The extension of Sam Cooper Boulevard was routed about  south of Broad Avenue. Several of the intersections were eliminated, a viaduct was constructed to avoid the railroad crossings and the route was extended to East Parkway North.

The original route east of North Highland Street, was designed as a six-lane freeway without intersections, traffic signals and without sidewalks for pedestrians, allowing only motorized traffic on the road. The extension of Sam Cooper Boulevard west of the North Highland Street exit was constructed as a six-lane controlled-access parkway. Pedestrians are allowed on the route on sidewalks installed on both sides of the parkway west of Vandalia Street, located about  west of North Highland Street. The median is raised and there are at-grade intersections present equipped with traffic signals and pedestrian crossings. The segment of Sam Cooper Boulevard west of North Highland Street and east of East Parkway North was completed in 2003.

Random shootings at cars
In 2004, it was reported by local newsmedia that several cars driving on Sam Cooper Boulevard had been shot at randomly in the section west of Tillman Street and east of North Hollywood Street in the Binghampton neighborhood. The Memphis Police Department (MPD) reported 13 shootings between August and October of that year. A spokesman for the MPD stated that only vehicle damage had occurred and that no persons were hurt in the shootings. Police recovered a 9 mm bullet from the front door of one vehicle. A special police task force was assigned to the case. It is not known if the shooter was caught.

Revitalization attempts

In 2006, citizens from the Binghampton neighborhood of Memphis voiced concerns about negative effects that the completion of the western portion of Sam Cooper Boulevard has had on the community. Claims were made that construction of the road between North Highland Street and East Parkway North cut the Binghampton area in half by creating "high-speed traffic" and "confusing traffic patterns". It was mentioned that the routing of Sam Cooper Boulevard to the south of Broad Avenue had "effectively made" the circa  stretch of Broad Avenue a "ghost town", creating vacant lots in the partly industrial area and an unsafe neighborhood.

The Memphis Flyer cites Robert Montague, executive director of the Binghampton Development Corporation: "When they built Sam Cooper, this area really got buried". Citizens suggested changes in the zoning and a re-design of the Broad Avenue area north of Sam Cooper Boulevard and south of Summer Avenue to re-vitalize that part of the neighborhood and attract business and residents. The following year, trees and shrubs were planted alongside Sam Cooper Boulevard and in the median west of North Highland Street. A few decorative flowerbeds were also installed in the median of the road to enhance the parkway design of the road.

Exit list

Proposed exits

Sam Cooper Boulevard is owned and maintained by the City of Memphis. No route number is assigned to Sam Cooper Boulevard and it is not a designated business route for Interstate traffic headed for Memphis. The exit numbering system on Sam Cooper Boulevard has not been changed since the route was planned. The exits are still numbered as if I-40 ran along Sam Cooper Boulevard as it was proposed straight through Memphis to connect to Arkansas over the Hernando de Soto Bridge. In fact, overhead gantry signs still told westbound motorists that they were heading towards Little Rock until the lettering was removed from the signs in March 2016.

The exits for I-40 along the proposed route segment through the center of Memphis, west of East Parkway North, that was never completed were planned in downtown Memphis (planned as exit 1), at Danny Thomas Boulevard (planned as exit 2), west of North Bellevue Boulevard as an interchange with modern-day I-240 (planned as exit 3) and at Stonewall Street in the Evergreen District of midtown Memphis (planned as exit 4). I-40 exits were proposed at East Parkway North (planned as exit 5) and Tillman Street (planned as exit 6).

The planned exit 1 along Sam Cooper Boulevard exists as exit 1 and exit 1A of modern-day I-40 in downtown Memphis just south of the Pyramid Arena. Exit 1 serves traffic to and from North Riverside Drive and Front Street; at exit 1A westbound traffic exits to North 2nd Street and eastbound traffic enters I-40 from North 3rd Street. Planned exit 2 coincides with modern exits 1B–D on I-40 at Danny Thomas Boulevard. Planned exit 3 exists as exit 1E on modern I-40 at the I-40/I-240 interchange west of North Bellevue Boulevard in the Medical district of Memphis. Planned exit 4 at Stonewall Street was never constructed. Planned exit 5 is an at-grade intersection with traffic signals at the western terminus of Sam Cooper Boulevard at East Parkway North, and planned exit 6 is an at-grade intersection with traffic lights at Tillman Street. Exits 7–9 and Exits 10A and 10B were constructed as proposed.

Al Qaeda Network Exord is a classified order that allows the U.S. military to direct operations against al-Qaeda in 15 to 20 countries around the world, including those not at war with the United States.
It was approved by U.S. President George W. Bush and signed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in the spring of 2004, and came in response to a desire on the part of the Secretary of Defense to use the military against targets outside of Afghanistan and Iraq; the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had been given similar authority in the immediate aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

The Logging Creek Ranger Station is the oldest continually operating administrative site in Glacier National Park.  The rustic log cabin is an early example of what would become a typical style of western park structure. The district includes a cabin used as a residence for the summer fire guard.

The site would have been among those inundated by the proposed Glacier View Dam, which would have flooded much of the North Fork Flathead River valley, including park lands. Proposed in the 1940s, the dam was never built.

USS Wandena (SP-354) was an armed motorboat that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917 to 1919.

Wandena was built as the private wooden-hulled motorboat Chipper in 1913 at the New York Yacht, Launch, and Engine Company in Morris Heights, New York. She subsequently was renamed Wandena.

The U.S. Navy acquired Wandena from J. B. Nichols for World War I service as a patrol vessel. Delivered to the Navy on 28 June 1917, she was armed, assigned the designation SP-354, and commissioned as USS Wandena at the New York Navy Yard in Brooklyn, New York, on 5 November 1917.

For the duration of World War I, Wandena performed local section patrol duties in the 3rd Naval District out of Section Base No. 10. She probably ceased such defensive patrols on 24 November 1918 as specified by the order that date to all naval districts.

Struck from the Navy List on 24 April 1919 and decommissioned on 7 May 1919, Wandena was sold on 10 September 1919.

An aeneator ( or ) was a specialized player of wind instruments who was attached to a Roman military unit. The word comes from Latin aēneus or ahēneus, "brazen", from aes, "copper alloy". While the size of individual Roman military units may have varied, they made extensive use of both acoustical and visual signaling in communications and each had an assigned banner bearer (vexillarius) and at least one aeneator.  A variety of instruments were used by aeneatores, including  the buccina, cornu, tuba, and lituus. In addition to their roles in the Roman army, aeneatores were also used for processionals and games, particularly in marching home from war.

Categories of aeneatores
Aeneatores who blew a buccina (a C-shaped horn made of bronze or silver or animal horn) were known as buccinators; those who blew a cornu (a G-shaped horn made of brass) were known as cornicines; those who blew a tuba (a straight bronze horn with a slight flare at the end) were known as tubicines or tubatores; players of the lituus were called liticines. Cornicines and tubicines mostly performed uncomplicated tactical signaling on the battlefield, and therefore were not accorded special status in the military unit.  They had call duties in the barracks, just as other commonly conscripted soldiers had.  By contrast, the bucinator was seen as a specially-skilled member of the unit who was capable of performing a wider repertoire and was used to perform a variety of ceremonial duties.  Many units accorded bucinators immunes status, and there were equestrian bucinatores that served as cavalry buglers.

The Polebridge Ranger Station in Glacier National Park was the first administrative area in the park, predating the park's establishment.  The ranger station was destroyed by fire, leaving the residence.

The historic district originally comprised five cabins, a barn, oil house, a woodshed converted to a checking station, garage, generator house, fire cache, washhouse, and the Strissel Residence, moved to the site in 1975. Many of the other structures were moved to the site in 1955. The fire cache was built at the site in 1927, with a greater level of detailing than was usual in such structures. The 1927 log barn was a significant existing structure.

The only survivors of the 1988 Red Bench Fire were the checking station and the ranger station residence. The residence is a log structure, built in 1922.

The Drivetime is a 1995 science fiction film directed, written, and produced by the Finnish-American filmmaker Antero Alli.

Plot
The film opens in the year 2023 in the Nostradamus Islands.  A librarian named Flux recalls a series of earthquakes that destroyed the continental United States. A totalitarian government took control of the United States following the disaster, but video footage from the pre-earthquake world was lost. The government sends Flux back in time to the Seattle, Washington, of 1999, to locate video footage of a riot that took place prior to the earthquake. He arrives in a society where telecommunications technology has replaced human interactions and where police operations are presented as television entertainment. He also discovers the government is putting forth footage of non-existent riots as a means of establishing law and order.

Production
The Drivetime was produced on a budget of US$5,000 (currently $).  Rob Brezsny, author of the syndicated newspaper column "Real Astrology", wrote the text for the film's psychedelic infomercials.

Alli shot The Drivetime in five different video formats—BETA SP, HI-8, VHS, C-VHS, SVHS—and in Super 8 film. The riot footage was culled from the September 10, 1994, riots in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood that protested alleged police brutality.

Release
The Drivetime was first screened at the Velvet Elvis Arts Theater in Seattle in August 1995.   The film had a limited theatrical release and was later distributed on DVD.

The Drivetime received mixed reviews. Phil Hall praised it in Wired as "one of the most chilling yet innovative cinematic essays on the flaws of today's technology-obsessed society" while Steven Seid of the Pacific Film Archive praised the film's "provocative visuals" and noted it was "at its best when plying its 'televisionary' speculations about a spiritual resurgence that will overwhelm virtuality." However, Robert Firsching, writing for the Amazing World of Cult Movies, dismissed The Drivetime as a “silly mess".

The Administrative Department of Public Service (, DAFP) is the Colombian executive administrative department in charge of formulating the general policies of public administration, especially in matters relating to civil service, management, internal control and streamlined procedures of the Executive Branch of Colombia.

In 1958, the Congress of Colombia passed Law 19 of 1958, which created the Administrative Department of Civil Service (Departamento Administrativo del Servicio Civil), in an effort to give the public administration an agency in charge of managing the human resources of the State. On December 29, 1992, the Government issued Decree 2169 of 1992, which dramatically changed the agency, changing its name to Administrative Department of Public Service, and putting it in charge of formulating policies and assessment material in management and human resources to the State.

The DAFP also operates the School of Public Service, ESAP, to educate and prepare the next generation of public servants of Colombia.

The Kishenehn Ranger Station in Glacier National Park was originally built in 1913, but a fire burned it down in 1919. They rebuilt it in 1921. Located nearly five miles south of the Canada–United States border, the log cabin was one of the earliest administrative structures in the park. The cabin was designed in an early version of what became the National Park Service Rustic style.

Thomas Fitzsimons Junior High School, later The Young Men's Leadership School at Thomas E. FitzSimons High School, was a public secondary school that, in its final years, was a secondary school for boys. It was located at 2601 West Cumberland Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States and was a part of the School District of Philadelphia. The school was named after Thomas FitzSimons, who was a signer of the Constitution of the United States.

History
The school building was designed by architect Irwin T. Catharine and built in 1926. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 as the Thomas Fitzsimons Junior High School.

In September 2005, the Philadelphia School District converted FitzSimons Middle School, a coeducational middle school managed by Victory Schools Inc. since 2002, into an all-male middle and high school. During that year, the district established The Young Women’s Leadership School at E. Washington Rhodes High School for females. The males zoned to the former FitzSimons and Rhodes zones were assigned to FitzSimons, while the females in the zones were assigned to Rhodes. After the redesign, FitzSimons reported increases in assaults targeting students and teachers. Margaret Harrington, the chief operating officer of Victory, described FitzSimons as having a "transition problem." Martha Woodall of the Philadelphia Inquirer stated in a 2006 article that the boys assigned to FitzSimons had tension with the boys assigned to Rhodes and that tensions increased when the schools combined. Richard H. Jenkins Sr., the principal of FitzSimons, said in that Philadelphia Inquirer article that he began establishing order with the students as the 2005-2006 school year progressed.

Victory Schools was relieved of responsibility for the school; for the 2009-2010 school year, the school returned to the authority of Philadelphia Public Schools. At the end of the 2010-2011 school year, the Philadelphia School District relieved Principal Darryl C. Overton of his duties as the school transitioned from The Young Men's Leadership School at Thomas FitzSimons High School to Thomas FitSimons High School-Promise Academy. In August 2011, budgetary issues and political unrest within the Philadelphia School District negatively impacted the school's direction, and Thomas FitzSimons High School did not open as a Promise Academy. However, that school year, Thomas Fitzsimons High School operated as a comprehensive neighborhood high school, adopting some of the reform measures associated with the Promise Academy model. The new school, led by Principal Jafar Baraka, focused on re-shaping academic programing, highlighting gender-based education, systems building to address school safety and climate, and instructional rigor and parental partnerships. In the spring of 2012, Thomas FitzSimons High School earned AYP or " Adequate Yearly Progress" in two educational categories under the Safe Harbor designation for the first time since the adoption and implementation of the NCLB legislation of 2000.

During the summer of 2012, KIPP Du Bois Collegiate Academy, a charter high school that is part of the national KIPP network of charter schools, was housed in the Fitzsimons Building. In 2013, FitzSimons High School doors officially closed.

The students who were at Rhodes were reassigned to Strawberry Mansion High School.

Feeder schools
Feeder elementary schools included Thomas M. Peirce Elementary School, Anna B. Pratt School, John G. Whittier School, and Richard R. Wright School. Ethel Allen School, feeds into FitzSimons.

Henry Chester-Master Garling (7 June 1870 – 19 November 1942) was an Australian politician. Born in Camden, New South Wales, he was educated at state schools before becoming a bank officer. Having studied law, he became a solicitor in 1905. He contested the 1919 federal election as a Nationalist candidate for the Senate, but was unsuccessful. On 15 December 1921, however, when Nationalist Senator Herbert Pratten resigned to contest a by-election in the House of Representatives, Garling was appointed to replace him. He was defeated, however, at the 1922 election, leaving the Senate immediately so that Allan McDougall could continue the rest of Pratten's term. Garling returned to law, and died in 1942.

Chris Henderson (born April 7, 1984) is a Canadian country musician born in Estevan, Saskatchewan and currently based out of Regina, Saskatchewan, and is the two-time SCMA Male Artist of the Year (2018, 2019).

620 CKRM Contest
In 2006, Chris entered, and won, the 620 CKRM Big Country Talent Show, which essentially launched his career as a recording artist, whether he knew it at the time or not.

As prize for winning the contest, Chris was awarded the opportunity to record a single with SCMA and CCMA award-winning Saskatchewan band, the Poverty Plainsmen.  Working with the band, Chris released the single "The Difference You Make" in October of the same year.  The single became a tune frequently played on CKRM and its success encouraged Chris to pursue other recording opportunities.

Other notable winners of the CKRM contest include Brad Johner, Kal Hourd, Jess Moskaluke, Katie Hess, and Sheila Deck.

Follow the Signs

In September 2007, Chris travelled to Nashville to record his first full-length album, Follow the Signs.  Initial recording on the album was completed at Grand & Gee Music and subsequent recording was done at B-Rad Studios in Regina.

The album's first single, "You Don't Scare Me" was released in September 2008 and as of October, it has reached No. 87 on the CanCon Country Music Charts.  It is being played on radio stations nationwide. Other singles that were from this album include: "All Of Me" and "The Cover of Country Weekly".

It Isn't Christmas Without Snow
Henderson released a self-penned Christmas song in 2010, which was recorded in Regina, Sk at B-Rad Studios with Brad Prosko producing, engineering, and mixing. The song featured Jayson Brinkworth on drums, Dave Chobot on bass and keys, and Brad Prosko on acoustic and electric guitar.

"The Next Big Thing"
In 2010, Henderson entered a contest sponsored by CHBD-FM (Big Dog 92.7), a radio station in Regina, Sk which has since been rebranded to Pure Country. The prize was for $15,000, which included a showcase at the Canadian Country Music Awards in Edmonton, Alberta that year, and much more.

Henderson was crowned the winner of the contest, and took the opportunity to head back into the studio to begin work on a sophomore album. His music career started to get busy enough that he resigned from his previous career as a high school English Language Arts teacher in 2011.

My Turn
After slowly working away at a new album, Henderson returned to the studio to finish "My Turn" in 2013, and released it the following year. "Don't Miss Your Kiss Goodbye" was released as the lead single, and reached #47 on the Canadian BDS charts, making it the top wholly independent song on the charts at the time. The song also won the 2014 Saskatchewan Country Music Award for "Song of the Year" awarded to the writers including Henderson, Troy Kokol, and Willie Mack.

The follow-up single "I Sure Hope He Loves You" reached #51 on the BDS Charts as well, and Henderson was nominated for 5 SCMA awards that year.

The Charm
The Charm was Henderson's 3rd full-length album, and was released in 2017. The lead single, "My Regret" reached #47 on the Canadian Country Mediabase chart, and remained in that position for four weeks.

The follow-up single, "Kissing Sadie" reached #75 on the charts in Canada, and was also nominated for an Alberta Country Music award for "Songwriter(s) of the Year". It was eligible because Henderson's co-writers, Joni DeLaurier and Mike Little, both reside in Alberta.

Point of View
Point of View is Henderson's 4th studio project, and was released on October 4, 2019. The album's lead single, "I'll Be Your Mountain" was released in January 2019, and reached at peak of #72 on the Canadian charts.

To celebrate the project's release, Henderson performed at The Artesian in Regina, Saskatchewan, on the evening of October 4; Poor Nameless Boy, Kevin Knopf, and JJ Voss were supporting acts.

Georg Kükenthal (30 March 1864 in Weißenfels – 20 October 1955 in Coburg) was a German pastor and botanist who specialized in the field of caricology. He was the brother of zoologist Willy Kükenthal (1861–1922).

From 1882 to 1885 he studied theology at the universities of Tübingen and Halle. He worked as a pastor in Grub am Forst, and later in Coburg. In 1913 he received an honorary degree from the University of Breslau.

Kükenthal was a leading authority on sedges. In his 1909 monograph, he divided the genus Carex into four subgenera: Primocarex, Vignea, Indocarex and Eucarex. Carex is the largest monophyletic (natural) genus of flowering plants; Kükenthal's monograph remains the only comprehensive, worldwide treatment. On 8 July 1920 he was finally elected as the last General Superintendent and thus the highest clergyman of the independent regional church of Coburg. After the Coburg regional church joined the Bavarian regional church on 1 April 1921, Kükenthal was head of the Evangelical Lutheran deanery of Coburg until his retirement on 1 July 1928.

Wakefield Press is an independent publishing company based in the Adelaide suburb of Mile End, South Australia. They publish around 40 titles a year in many genres and on many topics, with a special focus on South Australian stories.

Originally founded in 1942, the publisher celebrated its 30th anniversary under its current management and name in 2019.

History
A publishing company under the name The Wakefield Press was founded in 1942 by Adelaide bookseller Harry Muir (1909-1991), owner of Beck Book Company Limited in Pulteney Street. Beck Book Company, in Ruthven Mansions, was a well-known bookshop, described as "once the city's outstanding second-hand bookstore", and also known as Beck's Bookshop, Beck's Bookstore, Beck's Book Shop, or simply Beck's.

Muir's intention was to publish small, historical monographs which he believed would otherwise go unread. The company's first publication was A Checklist of Ex-Libris Literature Published in Australia, owing to Muir's interest in bookplates. The press operated out of the bookshop from the 1940s to 1960s.

In the 1980s, the state government re-established the name as Wakefield Press, as part of the state's sesquicentenary (150-year anniversary) celebrations, and a series of histories was published.

As proprietor of the monthly cultural magazine the Adelaide Review, Christopher Pearson bought the name of the Wakefield Press from the South Australian government and operated the company from 1986 to 1988.

Michael Bollen, who had worked with Pearson, took over the company in 1989, with Stephanie Johnston buying in a year or so later. They moved to premises in The Parade West, Kent Town, where they stayed until relocation to Mile End in August–September 2014.

Current management

, Wakefield publishes approximately 40 titles each year on a diverse range of topics, including literary and popular fiction, young adult fiction and a range of non-fiction topics. They retain their focus on Australian authors and topics, particularly South Australian.

They have a focus on young adult fiction, with editor Margot Lloyd as publisher of the Young Adult list. They successfully launched Making Friends with Alice Dyson by Adelaide first-time author Poppy Nwosu in 2019. The management team believe that they can take risks that larger companies, being controlled by their marketing departments, cannot take.

Notable publications
Ochre and Rust:  Artefacts and Encounters on Australian Frontiers, by Philip Jones, Senior Curator at the South Australian Museum, won the non-fiction prize in the inaugural Prime Minister's Literary Awards in 2008.
Mallee Boys by Charlie Archbold was awarded Honour Book for Older Readers in the 2018 Children's Book Council of Australia Awards.
Red Professor: The Cold War Life of Fred Rose, by Peter Monteath and Valerie Munt, was shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards Prize for Australian History in 2016.
An Unsentimental Bloke: The Life and Work of C.J. Dennis, by Philip Butterss won the National Biography Award in 2015.
Places Women Make: Unearthing the Contribution of Women to Our Cities, by Jane Jose won the 2016 Bates Smart Award for Architecture in Media.
Stephen Orr, who has been longlisted and shortlisted for several literary awards over his long career with Wakefield, was longlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award for the second time in 2016, for The Hands.

Many of Wakefield's books have achieved Australian bestseller status, including The Vanished Land, by Richard Zachariah, The Home of the Blizzard, by Sir Douglas Mawson, One Magic Square, by Lolo Houbein, Behind the Veil, by Lydia Laube, and Your Brick Oven, by Russell Jeavons.

Book series published have included the AATE Interface Series, the Friendly Street Poets, the Pentageli Papers, the Wakefield Crime Series and the Wakefield Press History Series.

Partnerships

Wakefield Press have partnerships with a number of cultural and educational institutions in South Australia, and relationships with overseas publishers which market their titles.

Balut is a game of dice, similar to Yahtzee, created by United States soldiers as an alternative to poker, and is a popular pastime of businessmen overseas.

The game is named after a delicacy made from the fetal duck egg available in some Southeast Asian countries.

Origin and initial spread of the game
Edgar "Eddie" Woolbright was an American soldier stationed in the Philippines who remained there for the rest of his life, becoming a successful local businessman.
The origin story that is recounted for the game by its players is that two U.S. soldiers were in one of Woolbright's early establishments in Tacloban, the Woolbright Tacloban Airline Hotel, stuck for a drinking/gambling game to play because they had no playing cards but wanted to play poker.
They settled on playing poker with dice rather than cards, inventing what they initially called "poker dice".

Originally the game's format only extended to two players, but some Europeans staying at the same hotel who also wanted to play extended the game to more than two players.
The "poker dice" game gained its current name when Woolbright and some players out on a walk one day, hearing the cries of "balut!" by balut egg vendors, decided that that would be the name of the game.
Woolbright took the game from Tacloban to his later establishments in the Philippines as his businesses grew, and also played it at the British Club in Cebu City.
Other people exported it elsewhere: a British captain to Singapore, and some expatriate Scandinavians to Thailand.

An International Balut Federation was created in 1972.

The international Danish community has taken the game as a popular method of social interaction abroad and at home, with Danish expatriates/businessmen gathering to play the game monthly.  Rules of the game, code of conduct including dress code are enforced by participants and by the gamemasters, and games are organized by members of the International Balut Federation, or IBF.

Play

The game involves rolling five dice up to 3 times to make various combinations, which are noted on a scorecard.  A Balut is a five-of-a-kind of any denomination, but unlike in Yahtzee it counts for little in terms of points.  Players who obtain a Balut announce it to the other players by calling out "Balut!"—similar to calling out "bingo!", and note it on a special scorecard.  Players try to guess before gameplay how many Baluts will be made during the game; correctly guessing the total number can earn a prize.

On a turn, player may roll the dice up to three times.  After a roll, player may take one or more dice out of play to save their result and then roll the remaining dice.  There are seven scoring combinations that the player may only achieve once.  At the end of the turn, the player will score per the combo created.  If the player cannot create a combo, then player must scratch one of their remaining unfulfilled combos.  That scratched combo is no longer playable for the remainder of the game.  Play then continues to the left until all players have completed the 7 combo possibilities with a score or a scratch. Further rounds may be played...high score wins.

Possible Combinations:

 Fours - Scores 4 points for each die face of four
 Fives - Scores 5 points for each die face of five
 Sixes - Scores 6 points for each die face of six
 Straight - Scores 50 points for a five die sequence e.g., 2-3-4-5-6
 House - One Triple, one pair - scores sum of all die faces
 Choice - Scores sum of all five dice
 Balut - Five of a kind - Scores 30 points

South East Asia variation
In 1973, the game was brought into Singapore and a set of rules was established at Singapore Town Club in 1978. This set of rules was later spread to other private clubs in Singapore and to other Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines. Although the Singapore Town Club ceased existence in 2000 other clubs continue the name for the tournament. These Clubs organize regular local and international tournaments as well as gathering together each year for the STC Balut Interport Championship. The 28th was held at the British Club Bangkok in 2008 and the 29th was held at the Sabah Golf & Country Club in 2009. In 2017 the international competition was held at the Sarawak Club in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

In 2010 the 30th STC Interport Competition was held at the British Club Bangkok on 19 to 21 November.

Projected area is the two
dimensional area measurement of a three-dimensional object by projecting its shape on to an arbitrary plane. This is often used in mechanical engineering and architectural engineering related fields, especially for hardness testing, axial stress, wind pressures, and terminal velocity.

The geometrical definition of a projected area is: "the rectilinear parallel projection of a surface of any shape onto a plane". This translates into the equation:

where A is the original area, and  is the angle between the normal to the local plane and the line of sight to the surface A. For basic shapes the results are listed in the table below.

History
Registered as a limited liability company, Pink International Company is owned by Serbian businessman and entrepreneur Željko Mitrović who amassed his fortune during the 1990s under the regime of Slobodan Milošević. Mitrović was a close personal friend of Milošević's wife Mira Marković and an influential official of her Yugoslav Left (JUL) party.

Mitrović founded Pink International Company in the 1990s following the formation of the radio activities and later expansion into television. The company was re-registered on 25 April 2005, in accordance with new Serbian laws and regulations.

In June 2018, Pink International Company sold to "Direct Media" its Montenegrin and Bosnian divisions – Pink M and Pink BH, respectively.

Activities
Pink International's range of activities encompass:

Radio
Radio Pink was started in 1993, covering only the Belgrade metropolitan area. The premise behind the radio was to focus on music programming. No news is broadcast.

Television
Pink TV is the leading commercial television station in Serbia. Founded in 1994 and covering initially only the Belgrade area, the station later achieved countrywide reach by the late 1990s. In 1998, Pink TV achieved the leading position in the market. Pink TV's emphasis is on light entertainment programming: movies, sitcoms, music variety shows, talk shows, reality shows and news.

John Maurice Power (15 December 1883 – 13 January 1925) was an Australian trade unionist and politician. He was a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and was appointed to the Senate to fill a casual vacancy in 1924, after previously serving as mayor of Paddington (1917–1918), ALP state president (1921–1923), and on the New South Wales Legislative Council (1921–1924). However, he died two months after his appointment at the age of 41, without taking his seat in parliament.

Early life
Power was born on 15 December 1883 in South Hay, New South Wales. He was the fifth child of Irish immigrant parents Maria (née Toohey) and John Maurice Power. The family relocated to Sydney during his childhood. Power held a variety of occupations before embarking on a full-time political career. He worked variously as a drayman, farmhand, pastrycook, taxi driver and tobacconist. He was president of the Pastrycooks' Union and was commissioned as a justice of the peace in 1913.

Career
Power's involvement with the ALP began at a young age, and from 1910 he was a regular delegate to state conferences. He was elected president of the Paddington branch in 1912 and subsequently won election to the Paddington Municipal Council in 1914, later serving a term as mayor from 1917 to 1918. He was an anti-conscriptionist and remained loyal to the ALP during the 1916 party split. Power was elected state president of the ALP in 1921, having first been elected to the state executive in 1917. He held the position until 1923, when he replaced William Albion Gibbs as editor of The Labor News.

On 30 August 1921, Power was appointed to the New South Wales Legislative Council and served until 20 November 1924. when he was appointed to the Australian Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Allan McDougall. Premier Jack Lang stated that he would retire after completing McDougall's term and would not receive ALP preselection at the next federal election. He died under two months later, necessitating the appointment of NSW ALP Assistant Secretary William Gibbs.

Personal life
Power married Alice May Duggan on 21 January 1911, with whom he had one son. He was widowed in 1913 and re-married on 4 November 1918 to Stella Horrigan, with whom he had a second son.

Power died at his home in Glenbrook on 13 January 1925, after an illness of several months.

The Hidden Prince of Oz is a novel written by Gina Wickwar and illustrated by Anna-Maria Cool. As its title indicates, the book is an entrant into the series of Oz books by L. Frank Baum and his many successors.

The publication of the book was timed to coincide with the centennial of the original Oz book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (as was also true of Edward Einhorn's Paradox in Oz and Dave Hardenbrook's The Unknown Witches of Oz).  It was the winner of the Club's Centennial book contest, which received over 100 entries in 1998.

Wickwar supplies her book with a range of puns, verbal tricks, and imaginative elements: Silica Valley and its inhabitants, plus the Magnetic Field, the Draw Bridge, a Babbling Brook and Caterwauling Cataracts, Snap Dragons, and Dragon Flies.

The plot
Wickwar introduces a new child protagonist, Emma Lou, an orphan from Arizona, a tomboy and baseball pitcher. She is carried to Oz by the agency of Chief Thundercloud, an animated wooden Indian. There, Emma Lou falls in with a crowd of old and new Oz characters including the Glass Cat, Princess Vitrea, Ketzal (an animated feathered boa), and a blue parrot named Beak. (Indeed, Wickwar deliberately crowds her book with characters, in imitation of Baum's  The Lost Princess of Oz. Paddy, the rainbow-painting leprechaun in search of his lost pot of gold, is one of many.)

The characters have to confront the machinations of Zeebo the Sorcerer. With the aid of familiar figures like the Wizard, the Tin Woodman, the Sawhorse, and Polychrome the fairy, Emma Lou and her friends unravel the mystery of the missing Prince of the Blue Mountain, Vitrea's love.

He was admitted as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM, Order of Australia) in 2005 for service to cartography as a collector of early maps of Australia and to the field of immunology.

During the COVID-19 pandemic Clancy was involved in controversy when he was quoted by Australian MP Craig Kelly in support of unverified information about claimed benefits of the drugs hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. Newcastle University issued a statement in which it distanced itself from Clancy's views, mentioning also that the vice-chancellor had said the university did "not consider Robert Clancy a subject matter expert on COVID-19".

James Patrick Digger Dunn (born James Patrick Dunn; 20 August 1887 – 21 November 1945) was an Australian politician who served as a Senator for New South Wales from 1929 to 1935. He was elected as a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP), but after the 1931 party split joined the breakaway Lang Labor faction. He was one of only two Lang Labor senators, but was designated as the party's Senate leader. Dunn was a trade unionist and World War I soldier before entering politics. He was a perennial candidate for state and federal office between 1919 and 1945, but won only a single election.

Early life
Dunn was born "probably" in Kirkdale, Liverpool, England. He was the son of Irish parents, Margaret (née Kavanagh) and Thomas Dunn. He went to sea at the age of 16, jumping ship in South Africa and taking up an engineering apprenticeship in Simon's Town. He later travelled to Australia, working for a glass company in Sydney, and then on to New Zealand where he worked as a miner, timber-trucker, and wharf labourer.

Dunn became involved in the New Zealand labour movement, helping to establish the Greymouth Carters' and Drivers' Union and serving as vice-president of the Westland Trades and Labor Council. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Greymouth Borough councillor in 1909. The following year, Dunn moved to Queensland, Australia, where he joined the Australian Workers' Union. He was involved in the 1911 sugar workers' strike. He subsequently moved to Sydney, finding work as an engine-driver at the Cockatoo Island Dockyard. He was vice-president of the Combined Iron Trades Federation and a delegate of the Federated Iron Workers' Association to the Labor Council of New South Wales.

In 1914, Dunn joined the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force and was sent to New Guinea. He caught malaria and was returned to Australia, where he enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force. He was sent overseas in March 1916, and saw active service in France and the Middle East. Dunn was discharged in November 1919 and returned to Cockatoo Island.

Politics

Dunn was elected to the Labor Party state executive in 1921. He first stood for parliament at the 1919 federal election, losing to Walter Marks in the Division of Wentworth. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Senate in 1922 and 1925, eventually winning a seat at the 1928 election. Three months prior to the election, he adopted "Digger" as one of his middle names so it would appear on the ballot. He was subsequently criticised by Major General Pompey Elliott for doing so.

Dunn's term in the Senate began on 1 July 1929. He attributed the Great Depression to the "international money power, which controls the very existence of every man and woman in the capitalist-controlled countries on this earth". In March 1931, Dunn joined the breakaway Lang Labor faction, which comprised supporters of Jack Lang's left-wing populist economic policies. He was one of only two Lang Labor senators, along with 71-year-old Arthur Rae, but was nonetheless nominated as its Senate leader. He was among those who voted to bring down the Scullin Government in November 1931, and played a key role in coordinating the vote with United Australia Party, working with UAP senator Hal Colebatch. Dunn was defeated at the 1934 federal election. Although he personally polled 32.7 percent of the vote, the preferential block voting system in use at the time meant that the Coalition won all three seats with just over half of the total.

After his defeat, Dunn established a chemical manufacturing company whose main product was a compound analgesic marketed as a headache powder. He remained politically involved, and at the 1938 state election stood as a candidate of the Industrial Labor Party, another breakaway group. He lost to the official Labor candidate in Leichhardt. In 1941, Dunn's old Lang Labor colleague Eddie Ward secured him a position in the Department of Labour and National Service. He was terminated in November 1943 after Ward left the department. Dunn eventually rejoined the Labor Party, standing unsuccessfully in Manly at the 1941 and 1944 elections. His final candidacy came at the 1945 Manly by-election, caused by the death of Alfred Reid. He was denied ALP preselection and stood as a Soldiers' Party candidate, which precipitated his expulsion from the Labor Party.

Personal life
Dunn married Alice Mary Hynes on 2 February 1924. The couple had three children together, two sons and a daughter. In 1932, his wife was imprisoned for one month after being convicted of forgery, uttering, and obtaining money under false pretences. He obtained a divorce in the same year, and received custody of the children. Dunn was "a Roman Catholic, a non-smoker and teetotaller". He died suddenly at his home in Dee Why on 21 November 1945, and was buried at Frenchs Forest Bushland Cemetery.

William Joseph Christie (1824–1899) was an early Canadian politician and prominent Hudson's Bay Company employee. He served as a Councilor on the Temporary North-West Council from 1872 to 1873.

Hudson's Bay Company career

Christie served a long career with the Hudson's Bay Company. His career gave him a special relationship with native populations in the territories. The Cree in particular consulted him about their concerns over the lack of Canadian government representatives and rumors of armed hostilities against the natives.

Christie was a Métis who spoke French and English and possibly Cree. In 1862 Father Émile Petitot met Christie at Portage La Loche. He quotes William Joseph Christie then the chief factor of Fort Edmonton as saying in perfect French "I am myself a Metis. By George! We are almost all Métis in the Company. Among the chief factors there is not a single Englishman, and maybe not ten Scots with pure blood."(translation)

Politics
Christie was appointed to the Temporary North-West Council, the first government for the Northwest Territories on December 28, 1872. His appointment was short lived as he resigned from the council less than a year later.

Christie served as commissioner for the Fort Qu'Appelle negotiation of Treaty 4 in 1874, as well as for the Treaty 6 negotiations Fort Carlton and Fort Pitt in 1876.

In May 1875 the Canadian Pacific Railway leased Christie's home in Selkirk, Manitoba to use as a telegraph office.

His grand daughter Edith Rogers served as a MLA in the Manitoba Legislature.

Legacy

Mount Christie in Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies was named for him by James Hector in 1859.
