Transocean Marianas was an Earl & Wright Sedco 700 design semi-submersible platform drilling unit capable of operating in harsh environments and water depths up to  using an , 15,000 psi blowout preventer (BOP), and a  outside diameter (OD) marine riser.

Transocean Marianas has operated under several names: Tharos from 1979 to 1994, Polyportia from 1994 to 1996, and P. Portia from 1996 to 1998.

On October 7, 2009, it began drilling on the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico.  On November 9, 2009. it was damaged by Hurricane Ida.  It was subsequently replaced by the Deepwater Horizon, which was responsible for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill when that rig exploded on April 20, 2010.

Piper Alpha incident
In 1988, as Tharos, the vessel operated by Occidental Consortium as a large firefighting, construction, diving support and accommodation vessel equipped with a helicopter and a hospital ship with 22 beds, that rescued survivors from the Piper Alpha oil platform disaster.  The vessel carried out firefighting on the night of the disaster and supported the fire fighting and well kill operations that led to the extinguishing of the blaze. However, flaws in the design of the vessel's extensible rescue arm prevented it from rescuing crew from the platform, while errors in the operation of the water cannon delayed their use. Divers from Tharos recovered many bodies from the seabed and from the galley area of Piper Alpha. Tharos'''s role in the early hours of the disaster was shown in the 1990 Scottish Television series Rescue.

2011 Ghana incident
On July 6, 2011, the Transocean Marianas was evacuated due to it taking on water off the coast of Ghana.

Disposal
In September 2017 Transocean announced that Transocean Marianas, along with five other laid up rigs, would be retired and disposed of for recycling.

The Mary Lou Fulton Institute and Graduate School of Education (known as FIGSE) at Arizona State University was established in 1954. It disestablished in 2010 by Provost Elizabeth Capaldi amidst strong objections from faculty, students, and relevant professional organizations. FIGSE is sometimes confused with ASU's Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, which was renamed from the regional teaching-intensive West campus College of Teacher Education and Leadership (CTEL) at the same time the historic FIGSE was disestablished.

History

Arizona State University was established in 1885 as the Territorial Normal School at Tempe in the Arizona Territory.  The Normal School was charged with providing "instruction of persons, both male and female, in the art of teaching, and in all the various branches that pertain to a good common school education; also, to give instruction in the mechanical arts and in husbandry and agricultural chemistry, in the fundamental law of the United States, and in what regards the rights and duties of citizens."   An effort by the alumni association changed the name of the institution to Tempe State Teachers College in 1925, and offered its first graduate degree, the Masters in Education, in 1937. Although courses were offered in other academic and professional disciplines, the school remained fundamentally a teachers college until 1945 when it was renamed Arizona State College.

In 1954, the Arizona Board of Regents established four colleges within the institution:  Liberal Arts, Education, Applied Arts and Sciences, and Business and Public Administration. Under the leadership of ASU President Grady Gammage, deans were appointed to oversee the administration of each new college.

Guy D. McGrath was appointed as the founding dean of ASU's College of Education, serving from 1954 to 1968. The college remained focused on teacher preparation until the mid-1980s, when Dean Gladys  Styles Johnston, as part of the institution's efforts to achieve Carnegie's Research I status, recruited and appointed some of the nation's top education scholars, including Thomas Barone, David Berliner, Gene V Glass, and Mary Lee Smith. Currently, Barone, Berliner, Glass and Smith are emeritus education professors at ASU.

David C. Berliner was appointed as dean in 1997 and began a massive effort to hire new faculty. Berliner recruited Gene V Glass to serve as his associate dean for research and Gale Hackett as his associate dean for academic programs and personnel.  Berliner and Glass, both former presidents of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), successfully leveraged their high visibility as education researchers to build the faculty of the College of Education. By the end of his tenure as dean, Berliner had been responsible for hiring approximately 25% of the college faculty, primarily exceptional junior scholars. Berliner and Glass were outspoken critics of the state's education policies; by taking their criticisms and concerns to the public, they created some irritation among state lawmakers and especially the state superintendent of public instruction, Lisa Graham Keegan. Berliner hired a number of progressive faculty who believed in public advocacy, further aggravating lawmakers and future superintendents, such as conservative Tom Horne.

Eugene Garcia was recruited to serve as the college's next dean in 2002, having just finished a successful run as the dean of UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Education.  Garcia continued to build the college's national ranking and status with the addition of new faculty talent, increased external research funding, and increased faculty and student diversity.  In 2003, Garcia was given the additional role of Vice President for University-School Partnerships in which he coordinated university-wide K-12 education efforts.  Under Garcia's leadership, the College of Education obtained a generous $50 million endowment from Mary Lou Fulton, an ASU College of Education alumna and successful Arizona businesswoman. In 2006. Garcia continued the college's engagement in state policy debates, and also worked within the state's education leadership to improve policy decisions.  He was appointed by Governor Janet Napolitano to serve on the state's ELL Task Force, a working group charged with implementing new state law regarding the education of English language learners. Garcia maintained his position as a university vice president after he stepped down from the deanship in 2006.

George Hynd was appointed as dean and senior vice provost for education and innovation in January, 2008, serving for two years. The economic downturn of that year resulted in large budget reductions for the university.  In response, the university reorganized several units, including education.  The name of the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education was changed to the Mary Lou Fulton Institute and Graduate School of Education (FIGSE), with a new mission to focus exclusively on research and graduate education programs. All undergraduate teacher education programs across the various campuses of the university were consolidated under the College of Teacher Education and Leadership (CTEL).  CTEL, headquartered on the West campus, was originally established to meet the needs of teacher education in the West valley.

George Hynd resigned in December, 2009, to serve as provost of the College of Charleston. He was succeeded by interim dean Jim Rund. Rund served as interim dean for one semester, overseeing the disestablishment of FIGSE in May, 2010. In addition, Rund continued serving in his prior position as ASU Senior Vice President for Educational Outreach and Student Services.

Berliner and Glass retired when FIGSE was distablished in spring, 2010; Garcia retired a year later as vice president for schools and community relations. They continue to serve as emeritus professors.

Faculty and rankings
FIGSE was highly ranked by U.S. News & World Report for eleven consecutive years preceding its disestablishment. In 2010, the year it was disestablished, FIGSE ranked as the 25th best school of education in the United States among public universities, and was ranked 36th best among both public and private institutions. Arizona State University's graduate education programs retained this ranking when U.S. News & World Report ranked Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College 25th among public graduate schools of education and 35th among all public and private graduate programs in the field in its 2012 rankings. FIGSE achieved its highest ranking in 2003 at 10th best among public institutions and 16th best among both publics and privates. In addition, its specialty programs in educational psychology, counseling, education policy, and curriculum and instruction were typically ranked in the top 15 nationally.

The Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index ranked FIGSE faculty as among the most productive in the nation, and the most productive at Arizona State University. In 2007, faculty in Curriculum and Instruction and Education Leadership and Administration ranked 4th and 6th, respectively, in productivity, out-producing faculty in any other unit within the Arizona State University.

At the time of its disestablishment, FIGSE was home to three Regents Professor, three endowed chairs, two NSF Early Career Scholars, four NAE/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellows, and one Presidential Early Career Award Winner. FIGSE was tied with the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Pennsylvania for number of faculty with membership in the National Academy of Education (David Berliner, Michelene T. H. Chi, James Gee, and Gene V Glass), with only nine institutions boasting higher counts (Stanford, Harvard, Michigan, Chicago, Berkeley, New York University, CU Boulder, UCLA, and Columbia University's Teachers College).

U.S. News & World Report historical rankings of the Mary Lou Fulton Institute and Graduate School of Education, 1998–2010.

In 2010 and 2011, the U.S. News rankings reflected the newly formed Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College; the 2010 rank was 35th, and the 2011 rank was 26th among all graduate schools of education.

Organization and programs
In 2008, the three divisions of the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education (Curriculum and Instruction, Psychology in Education, and Education Leadership and Policy Studies) were reorganized into two new divisions: Advanced Studies in Education Policy, Leadership, and Curriculum; and Advanced Studies in Learning, Technology and Psychology in Education.

Disestablishment
In April 2010, in response to an order from the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) made at its March meeting to cut 2.75% from the university's salary budget, Provost Elizabeth Phillips submitted a plan to university President Michael Crow to disestablish the Mary Lou Fulton Institute and Graduate School of Education. The plan also proposed the disestablishment or merger of other university units. The university estimated that the disestablishment of FIGSE would save $1,292,000 in salaries, although no faculty would be terminated. An external search for a new dean was underway at the time of the proposed closure. The University of Arizona, under the same budget reduction mandate from the Board of Regents, imposed a hiring freeze and tiered furloughs to meet its obligation.
ASU had lost more than $108 million since 2008, and President Crow was reluctant to impose additional furloughs, which reduced salaries by $24 million the prior year. In a statement to the ASU community, President Crow wrote, "We understand the situation the state faces. During the next 30 days, we will be reviewing implementation measures to try to minimize disruption to our faculty and staff and keep them focused on providing exceptional service and education for Arizona students and their families."

The disestablishment of FIGSE was controversial, as it was opposed by FIGSE's faculty and students, and protested by the American Educational Research Association (AERA) in a letter sent to the University Provost.

Representing the FIGSE faculty, Professor Beth Blue Swadener made the following remarks to the ASU Faculty Senate on May 3, 2010, as the body considered whether or not to support the proposal:

I am substituting today for Carlos Ovando, who is in Denver at the American Educational Research Association annual meeting, where the FIGSE faculty and students have contributed to a total of 181 sessions.

During the meetings, two of our faculty colleagues were inducted as AERA Fellows, and one received a lifetime achievement award.  Everywhere I went during the meetings I was asked about two things: Arizona's new immigration law and the disestablishment of the Mary Lou Fulton Institute and Graduate School at ASU, or "FIGSE."

While it is now too late to stop the latter, I believe it is important to go on record as opposed to not only the decision made by the administration, but to raise concerns about the process, and the lack of faculty consultation or representation.
You have had the opportunity to read both the faculty and student statements concerning maintaining the integrity and high rankings of our graduate programs in education.  As faculty, you can imagine that suddenly being told we were "free agents" and should not plan potential moves together with our program colleagues has led to fragmentation, loss of some very strong colleagues, and a lack of transparency and accurate information.  Within this very challenging climate and short timeline, we have all worked hard  to maintain program integrity and support our students.

We have also sought to support the 32 staff losing jobs, following the loss of 37 staff last year, in a reorganization of our college.

The larger context of concern to Senate is governance-- each time such major changes are made without faculty consultation or input, it has immediate and far-reaching impacts on our programs and, moreover, erodes traditions of faculty governance by making our work environment a more corporate, top-down space.  As one colleague at AERA put it, "I thought ASU was a 21st Century New American University, but it looks more like a 19th Century factory with a boss controlling the workers!"
Our sister institutions responded to the ABOR mandate in far less dramatic ways with future tiered furloughs (at UA) and closed searches and non-replacement measures at NAU.  When I spoke with deans from both universities at the AERA meeting, they said that their presidents simply didn't view this as requiring any extreme measures.

Thus, while recognizing that it is too late to change the disestablishment of our Institute and Graduate School, I respectfully request that you vote "No" on this measure and thereby signal our university faculty's stand on the flawed process by which this action was taken, and the importance of faculty governance in such matters.

The ASU Faculty Senate voted against the proposed disestablishment, with 73 votes against the motion, 20 in favor, and 6 abstentions. On a related vote at the same meeting, the senate opposed the renaming of CTEL as the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College by 75 to 18, with 5 abstentions.

Despite senate opposition, the Arizona Board of Regents approved Capaldi's proposal, and FIGSE was disestablished in May 2010. At the time, a majority of FIGSE faculty joined the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering, and a few other units. Today, 85 percent of former faculty members are affiliated and/or teaching courses for the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College.

All FIGSE doctoral programs moved to the newly named Teachers College, except Applied Linguistics, which moved to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Counseling Psychology, which moved to the School of Letters and Sciences.

Carol D. Lee, president of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), sent a letter on behalf of the organization, urging ASU to reconsider:

Dear Provost Capaldi:

We are writing to you on behalf of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) to express our concerns about pending decisions that could reduce the vitality and significance of scholarship and training in education research at Arizona State University. AERA is the national interdisciplinary research association of approximately
25,000 scholars who undertake research in education. Founded in 1916, AERA aims to
advance knowledge about education, to encourage scholarly inquiry related to education,
and to promote the use of research to improve education and serve the public good.
We are aware that many universities like ASU face stringent economic times and need to
arrive at strategies that permit transformation and change consonant with mission and
purpose. In considering fields of study and scholarship for higher education institutions, it
would seem to be a priority for our nation to invest in the next generation of scholars and
scholarship addressing the scientific study of education and learning and the policies and
practices that shape educational outcomes from early education to the workforce.
ASU has been the home to a community of highly productive faculty members known for
the significance of their education research, the quality of their teaching and mentoring,
and their professional service. Large numbers of your faculty are leading contributors to
this field—publishing in the most competitive and highly ranked journals, holding
prominent editorships, and serving as scientific advisors on committees nationally and
internationally. For many years, Arizona State has enjoyed visibility as an environment
that supports research and training of excellence in education research.
We write, now, out of a concern that, while scholarship and training in education are
important scientific and policy priorities to our nation, they may come to have a
diminished role and presence at ASU through the proposed reorganization. Although we
realize that talented faculty and their students are likely to be retained in any
reorganization, the university's commitment to this arena of interdisciplinary scholarship
will be seriously eroded were identifiable graduate programs to be disestablished and
essentially eliminated at ASU.

We just quite recently learned of this turn of events and realize that we write at the eleventh hour. Nonetheless, we also are aware that you are strong in your commitment to vibrant interdisciplinary fields of inquiry and training. We believe that, with more time to examine the question and the quality of your graduate programs, ASU will be better situated to reach a decision that serves your institutional goals and that of the nation.

Therefore, we urge that you defer such action until options and opportunities can be fully identified and assessed.

We would welcome the opportunity to help in any way we can.

Sincerely,

Carol D. Lee, PhD, AERA 2010 President

Felice J. Levine, PhD, Executive Director

Arizona State University Executive Vice President and Provost Elizabeth D. Capaldi sent a letter dated April 20, 2010, in response to the letter from Carol D. Lee and Felice J. Levine.

Dear Dr. Lee and Dr. Levine:

Thank you for your letter noting concerns about Arizona State University's recent reorganization in our colleges of Education. Let me begin first by clarifying some erroneous information noted in your letter. Absolutely no graduate degree programs in education are being discontinued or disestablished as a result of this reorganization. Over the past three years of massive budget cuts in Arizona, we have been steadfast in our commitment to protect faculty lines and academic programs. This reorganization, like others we have undertaken, is an administration reorganization that reaps significant budget saving and also has the effect of reorganizing faculty into intellectual clusters that can continue to build on existing strengths and also forge new and important directions.

I am sharing with you a recent article published in Change that outlines what we have continued to try to accomplish through such reorganization at Arizona State University without compromising quality.

On a related note, as you may know, many of our doctoral programs are highly ranked. These rankings are based on the quality of the degree program and not the organizational umbrella under which the programs find themselves. We value the quality of research and educational vision that the majority of our faculties in education provide. We believe that this quality will continue to improve as our faculties from across the university coalesce around significant educational issues to be addressed in the decades ahead.

As you know, change can be very difficult. In the multiple reorganizations we have already put in place, faculty come to understand that there can be many wonderful new opportunities for them to explore with new colleagues and new programs. At the very core of much of these reorganizations has been an increased interdisciplinary synergy, with new programmatic opportunities for our students that would not have emerged in the traditional structures that were in place.

I am sorry you were misinformed.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth D. Capaldi,

Executive Vice President and Provost

Although no graduate education programs were disestablished concurrently with the disestablishment of FIGSE, the University immediately reorganized and restructured all education graduate programs, severely reducing options for majors, and eliminating all graduate programs specifically focused on the education of immigrant and Native students. FIGSE faculty reassigned to other units were not permitted to develop new programs, and were required to teach for Teachers College, with no right of participation in program management. By the end of 2011, more than a dozen senior FIGSE faculty had left ASU as a result of the reorganization,. Program rankings dropped dramatically for the College as well as for specific program areas.

Teachers college

After FIGSE was disestablished, ASU shifted responsibility for nearly all graduate programs in education to the College of Teacher Education and Leadership (CTEL), which was established in 1985 on ASU's West campus. The Mary Lou Fulton endowment and much of the budgetary resources of FIGSE were transferred to CTEL, which was renamed Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. U.S. News & World Report ranked Teachers College 16th among public graduate schools of education and 26th among all public and private graduate programs in the field. Last year ASU's graduate education programs ranked 25th and 35th respectively.

The following sortable table comprises the seven ultra-prominent summits on the islands of the Caribbean Sea.  Each of these peaks has at least  of topographic prominence.  Five of these peaks rise on the island of Hispaniola (three in the Dominican Republic, and two in Haiti) and one each on Jamaica and Cuba.

Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface.  The topographic prominence of a summit is the elevation difference between that summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit.  The topographic isolation of a summit is the minimum great-circle distance to a point of equal elevation.

This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least  of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least  of topographic prominence.  An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least  of topographic prominence.

If an elevation or prominence is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.

Ultra-prominent summits

Of these seven ultra-prominent summits of the Caribbean, three are located in the Dominican Republic, two in Haiti, and one each in Jamaica and Cuba.

Bangalore BRTS was a proposed bus rapid transit system in Bangalore, Karnataka. Beginning with a comprehensive report in 2007, and even earlier, several proposals were made to implement a BRTS in Bangalore.

In December 2016, the Karnataka Government cancelled the project. Mahendra Jain, additional chief secretary (urban development department), stated that the government did not consider the project feasible "as we have already planned for the Namma Metro." He further explained, "The decision was taken because there was no sufficient road width available for the BRTS. The balance carriage way would be very less so we decided not to take it forward. As we have planned for Metro, two public transportation systems cannot be executed on one stretch."

Recommendations in CTTP, 2007
A transport survey carried out in 2007, referred to as CTTP, recommended Bangalore BRTS, with 14 routes totaling 282 km. CTTP recommended following routes :

 Hebbal to Bannerghatta Road along eastern crescent of outer ring road (33.0 km)
 Benniganahalli (ORR) to PRR along old Madras Road (7.0 km)
 From ORR to Hosur Rd along Hi-tech Corridor (8.0 km)
 Hosur Road to Tumkur Road along PRR (western part) (41.0 km)
 Tumkur Road-PRR Junction to Hosur Road along PRR via Tirumanahalli, Old Madras Road, Whitefield (76.0 km)
 Along Core Ring Road (30.0 km)
 Vidyaranyapura to Nagavarapalya via Hebbal, Jayamahal Road, Queens Road, M.G. Road, Ulsoor, Indranagar, CV Raman Nagar (29.0 km)
 Kengeri Satellite Town to J.P. Nagar along Uttarahalli Road, Kodipur (13.0 km)
 Banashankari III stage to Banashankari VI stage Ext. along Ittumadu Road, Turahalli, Thalaghattapura (6.0 km)
 Domlur Ext. to Koramangala along inner ring road (5.0 km)
 PRR (Mulur) to Maruti Nagar (up to Hitech corridor) along Sarjapur Road (7.0 km)
 Peenya to PRR along Tumkur Road (6.0 km)
 Old Madras Road near Indiranagar to ORR near Banaswadi along Baiyyappanahalli Road -Banaswadi Road (5.5 km)
 Hebbal to Devanahalli Airport along Bellary Road (25.0 km)
Total 282 km

Bus Priority Lane
To avoid the traffic congestion and its impact on public transport, Bengaluru Traffic Police and Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation initiated Bus Priority Lane in part of Outer Ring Road Bangalore in November 2019.

To impose this, BTP has decided to have traffic fines for private vehicle drivers on violating Bus Priority Lanes.

Separating public buses from other private vehicles in dedicated lanes, protects them from traffic congestion and delays and improves the reliability of public services. The smoother driving also saves fuel and makes buses a more appealing mode of travel during peak hours. And this will help in controlling air and noise pollution and also to attracts more private vehicle users to shared transports.

A servery conducted by Citizen for Bangalore (a civic activist group) shows that  also revealed that the number of people spending over two hours daily on bus commute has substantially reduced by 62 per cent since the introduction of the city's first BPL on the Silk Board-K R Puram route.

Other proposals
There have also been other proposals for BRTS routes, some of these talk of new routes, and some overlap with CTTP recommendations.

Radial Corridors
In 2009, on recommendation from Agenda for Bangalore Infrastructure Development (ABIDe), City of Bangalore started investments to enhance 12 radial corridors for land based public transport. A distinctly branded bus service called Big10 was started by BMTC as part of the project. There are proposals to consider some of these corridors for BRTS.

Ring Roads
CTTP and few other proposals have talked of implementing BRTS on two large ring roads in Bangalore. BRTS was considered by BDA for Outer Ring Road, but the road has instead been taken for conversion to a signal free corridor. BRTS has also been talked about for the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR). However, since PRR itself is still in design and planning stage, there has not been much progress regarding BRTS

Issues and opposition
Some local public transport observers and citizens feel that most road corridors are too narrow for developing dedicated lanes for BRTS. Further, enforcement of traffic is generally seen to be weak, and many doubt if the city will be able to enforce dedicate lanes. Last, many feel that city is not  mature yet to accept dedicated lanes, and private vehicle users may not like the proposal.

However, many feel that despite public statements of support for the concept, BRTS implementations have not made big progress due to lack of clear ownership between BMTC, BBMP, BDA and City Traffic Police.

CTTP or Ring Road recommendations
The State Government has not taken up all recommendations from CTTP. BDA has been working on parts of the proposal since 2008. More recently, in early 2010, BDA had started on a detailed project report to implement BRTS on the eastern loop Outer Ring Road.

Bus Priority System
To work over the perceptions against BRTS, Praja Bangalore, a citizen advocacy group is pushing for Bus Priority System, wherein there would be dedicated lanes, specialized signals, underpasses for the buses only at the critical choke points on critical radial corridors. Bangalore could move towards full-fledged BRTS once the benefits of Bus Priority help work over the negative perceptions.

The  is a theatre in the Ginza neighborhood of Tokyo, Japan. It is a major kabuki venue, though other types of performances take place there as well.

History

The theatre was originally built in 1925 to provide a venue for the Azuma Odori geisha dance performances, by Kawamura Tokutarō, manager of the Morikawa geisha house, who raised two million yen in capital and established the Shinbashi Enbujō Corporation. The site, by chance, was formerly that of the Matsudaira clan residence which serves as the setting for the kabuki play "Kagamiyama Kokyō no Nishikie." Construction began in 1923, and was halted following the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, but was completed in 1925.

The theatre entered into a contract in 1940 with Shōchiku, a major film and theatre production company, today the chief kabuki production company.

Since becoming associated with Shochiku, the theatre has regularly seen productions ranging from modern drama and musicals to the shinpa (New School) genre developed in the Meiji period, as well as kabuki. The Kabuki-za, located several blocks away, is the chief kabuki theatre in the world. It plays somewhat the role of a storehouse of tradition, and its stage is usually dominated by the top star actors in the genre. By contrast, many more experimental forms within the kabuki genre, as well as plays starring younger actors, are performed at the Shinbashi Enbujō. These include the Super Kabuki form pioneered by Ichikawa Ennosuke III, which incorporates Western music, Chinese, Indian, and other non-Japanese stylistic influences, and over-the-top stage special effects beyond that seen in typical kabuki, and the  performances featuring the younger generation of kabuki stars.

The building was destroyed in the Allied bombing of Tokyo during World War II, but was reconstructed in 1948. Major renovations were undertaken in 1982, incorporating technological upgrades, extra seating, and expanding to take over the nearby Nissan Motors Building.

The Shinbashi Enbujō was the main kabuki theater from 2010 until March 2013 while the Kabuki-za theater was undergoing construction.

The Děčínský Sněžník () is a mountain in the Czech Republic. At  above sea level, it is the highest peak of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.

Geography
Děčínský Sněžník is located in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in the Ústí nad Labem Region. It is located mostly in the Jílové municipality, only the eastern slopes are located in the territory of Děčín.

The mountain is the highest mesa in the Czech Republic.

Tourism

History
One of the first historical figures to visit Děčínský Sněžník was Emperor Joseph II of Habsburg, who climbed the peak in September 1779. The Sněžník was considered an important geodetic point for triangulation and cartographers asked the owner of the principality of Děčín, Prince Franz of Thun and Hohenstein, for permission to establish the peak as a triangulation point. Prince Franz contracted the Dresden architect, Karl Moritz Haenel, to design a stone observation tower. The construction of the Neo-gothic tower at the summit of the Sněžník began in 1863. A nearby fault line a source of building material, the tower was finished in autumn 1864. Originally used by geodesists, the view attracted many visitors and in 1865 the local forest administration decided to build a small hostelry for them.

The observation tower at Děčínský Sněžník has remained a popular tourist attraction and lasted, with small modifications, for more than 80 years. After the Second World War the hostelry was abandoned as it had to be pulled down. Likewise the tower deteriorated and, by the 1980s, was in poor condition. Vandals contributed to the degradation of the tower, and its masonry started to collapse. The tower was assigned to the monument fund of the State Monument Preservation, but this formal step did not bring any improvement. In 1992 two million CZK were collected for the renovation of the tower, and this was followed by the erection of a new inn. Since summer 1992 the tower at Děčínský Sněžník has again been open to the public and the peak is once again a popular tourist destination.

Present
The observation tower is  high, 153 steps lead to the observation deck. The tower offers a panoramic view over Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland, and Lusatian Mountains.

The summit is a stop on the E3 European long distance path. Ascents may be made from the town of Jílové or from the German municipality of Rosenthal-Bielatal to the north.

William Earl Ormshaw (February 7, 1937 – March 25, 2007) was a Canadian hockey referee and a member of the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame since 2005.

Ormshaw was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and grew up on Pritchard Avenue. He attended Isaac Newton High School.

He began his officiating career in the early 1960s, officiating young children. This was the beginning of his long standing career as an on-ice official. He worked his way through all levels of minor hockey until he began to referee higher levels of hockey. He began to work Intermediate hockey throughout the leagues in rural Manitoba, back when these games were officiated with only two referees as opposed to the more common three-official system.  Ultimately, he officiated in the Western Canada Hockey League as both a referee and a linesman in the Canadian University, the Canadian Amateur Senior Hockey League (CASH), as well as virtually every league in Winnipeg and the surrounding areas.  His recorded number of games throughout his officiating career number near 1800, which does not include his years of minor hockey, nor many of the championship events he worked.

His attended many prestigious events.  He was a linesman at the World Junior Hockey Championships in Winnipeg in 1974-75. He was a referee at the Canadian University Championships in Trois-Rivières, Quebec in 1983-84.  Ormshaw also officiated at three Canadian Allan Cups, all in Thunder Bay, Ontario. He officiated at two Centennial Cups in Selkirk and Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. He has refereed at three Hardy Cup championships with the Winnipeg North End Flyers as well as the Warroad Lakers.

One of the most prominent achievements that Ormshaw was awarded was his certification as a Level VI official by the Canadian Hockey Association. He received this certification in 1978 in Ottawa, Ontario.  The Canadian Hockey Association's officiating program has six levels, where only the most elite ever receive the recognition as a Level VI.

Ormshaw was also a leader within the hockey program and community in Manitoba. He served as the Referee-In-Chief for many leagues, and until the day of his death on March 25, 2007, remained the Referee-In-Chief of the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League.  He was in a supervisory role at many prestigious and high-profile events, including the Centennial Cup National Championships held in Winnipeg in 1992.  Throughout his years, he was responsible for the development of countless officials that went on to national, international or professional competition, including NHL referees Vaughn Rody and Ryan Galloway.

The Swiftsure International Yacht Race is the premier long distance sailing race in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia area.  Starting and ending in Victoria, BC, Canada, the Swiftsure is international because the midpoint markers for the four long courses are in U.S. waters.  Organized by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, the race occurs during the Memorial Day weekend in May with staggered starts on Saturday morning.   The race is most popular with sailors from British Columbia and Washington, but it has drawn boats from as far away as California, Hawaii, New Zealand, and even Russia.

Race courses

The nature of the course and the notoriously unpredictable winds and currents provide an exacting test of seamanship. Swiftsure consists of nine races over five courses (tabulated below) in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, including the Swiftsure Inshore Classic (formerly "Sookesure" then "Rosedale Rock") and "Classics" races.  Therefore, it offers wide appeal to the professional and experienced amateur sailor who takes pride in his or her boat, big or small.  In some years, light winds led to the race being dubbed the "Driftsure;" in other years, like 1971, 1979, and 2012, strong winds (up to 35 knots) led to boats dropping out or even being dismasted.

History
The first Swiftsure Lightship Classic Race took place in 1930.  Six vessels began in Cadboro Bay, raced out the Strait of Juan de Fuca to its mouth, rounded the lightship on Swiftsure Bank, and returned to Victoria.  From 1948-1950, the race began in Port Townsend, WA, and ended in Victoria. Beginning in 1951, the current long courses have remained; yachts start in Victoria, race to their rounding mark in the United States, finishing back in Victoria.

Bengaluru Suburban Railway (also Bengaluru Commuter Railway) is an under construction suburban rail network for the city of Bangalore. A Suburban Rail system for the city was first proposed in 1983. Since then, several different route proposals were made but no Suburban Rail project took shape. It was finally approved in the 2019 Railway Budget.

History
A Suburban rail service existed in Bangalore as early as in 1963 for HAL employees to commute from KSR Bangalore to Vimanapura Railway station. In 1983 a formal Suburban Rail system for Bangalore had first been proposed by a team from Southern Railway under then Railway Minister C. K. Jaffer Sharief and Member of Parliament representing Bangalore. Their recommendation had been to invest in 3 suburban rail lines and a 58-km ring railway. The package was estimated to cost Rs. 6,500 million in 1983 terms (US$628.6 million) spread over a 25-year period.

Again in 1993 C. K. Jaffer Sharief Minister of Railway’s, India. Influenced the State of Karnataka to established another committee look into mass rapid transit. This committee recommended essentially the same put forward by Southern Railway in 1983 and the same circular railway. Both in 1983 and 1993 the proposal was rejected by then Prime Minister of India.

In 2007, RITES (Rail Indian Technical and Economic Services) was commissioned by the Government of Karnataka to conduct a CTTP (Comprehensive Traffic & Transportation Plan) for the city of Bangalore. Their report called for 10 Suburban Rail routes totaling 204.0 km. As per the report, Suburban Rail (along existing rail routes) would cost much lesser than mass rapid transit systems.

In July 2010, a proposal was made by Praja Bangalore in a 'Call To Action' report. This plan was supported & presented at the center for infrastructure, Sustainable Transportation and Urban Planning (CisTup), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. The proposal had suggested a 376 km network around three hubs (Yesvantpur Junction, Benniganahalli & Yelahanka Junction) with 42 new stations. A key recommendation was to use the congested Bangalore City railway station only as a pass-through station.

In November 2011, RITES conducted a feasibility study exclusively for suburban rail services in Bangalore and submitted their final report to the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) in November 2012. The 179-page report studied all existing routes totalling 440.8 km of the rail network in & around the city & development of Suburban Rail services over three phases.

The state government approved the suburban rail system on 5 July 2013. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah approved the system in the 2013-14 state budget that he presented on 9 July 2013. The budget proposed the setting up of the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Corporation Limited, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to implement the project estimated to cost .

In the 2016-17 Railway budget, Union Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu announced a partnership with Karnataka government for a Rs. 9000-crore Suburban Rail network for Bangalore, but did not allocate any funds. On 3 February 2016, the state government proposed a modified version of the original RITES plan. This looked to kick-start the project with a Rs. 1,000-crore investment to connect Mandya with Kengeri, Whitefield with Baiyappanahalli and Tumakuru with Yeshwanthpura Junction. The state government released 100 crore towards this. The state appointed RITES again to study the feasibility of the project, and the latter's survey deemed the project as feasible. However, Railways stated that the proposed Phase Two of the project (linking Tumakuru and Yeshwanthpura Junction) was not feasible.

In November 2018, RITES prepared a revised plan for a 161 km network that was again amended in August 2019 to reduce costs. Out of 82 stations, 29 stations were deleted, route length reduced to 148 km & costs lowered to Rs. 16,000 crores. This was finally accepted by Government of India.

2007 proposal

2010 proposal

2012 proposal

Funding
On 1 February 2020, finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman mentioned in her budget that the project would be implemented at cost of Rs 18,600 crores. The central government would provide 20% of the equity and facilitate external assistance up to 60 percent of the project cost. It will be first of its kind and unique in India as it will have metro like facilities and rolling stock. It has slowest design speed among all the new suburban rail projects currently being implemented in India as Nagpur broad-gauge Metro and National Capital Region Transport Corporation are building rail tracks for design speed of 200 km/h with operating speed of 160 km/h.

Facilities
DPR for the project has included many rare and unique facilities in System.
 Many Stations will act as Integrated commercial hubs.
 Many Stations will be built as Intermodal Integration hubs were people can switch easily with other modes of transport like Metro.
 Stations will have Automated fare collection system and Platform screen doors.
 DPR suggests that Metro Train sets (EMU) – RS 13 series, which is used in Delhi Metro and manufactured at M/s BEML, Bangalore, is the most suitable for Bengaluru Commuter Rail System.

Integrated multi-modal transport and last mile connectivity
Comprehensive Mobility Plan for Bangalore provides a roadmap for integrated public transport experience.

Bengaluru Suburban Rail stations will be integrated with other modes of transport for seamless transfer between travel modes - as in European cities. Public Bus Service, Metro trains, Inter-city bus, Inter-city trains, Metrolite, Metro Neo, Hyperloop, BRTS, Peripheral Ring Road, Bus priority corridors, Airport metro, Airport Bus service, High speed Airport Train will be integrated with the Suburban train network.

Public Bicycle Sharing (PBS) and the Shared Micro-Mobility System initiatives have been launched to provide last mile connectivity to suburban rail stations.

K-RIDE plans to evolve all 57 stations to integrated commercial hubs (smart station hubs) where people can work, park, shop, eat and trade. Approaches to suburban train stations will be provided from all directions.

The suburban train station plan will not only focus on the development of modern station itself, but also on traffic circulation and road improvement plan, easy switch to other public transport, widening of approach roads, ramp based multi-level access as in the New Delhi Railway station re-development model.

Network

Existing services
Indian Railways currently operates MEMU and DEMU services.
 Indian Railway's South Western Railway zone operates several MEMU and DEMU train services from Bangalore to Hosur, Dharmapuri, Jolarpettai, Tumkur, Marikuppam near Kolar Gold Fields, Bangarapet, Hindupur, Mysore, Kolar, Kuppam and Hassan.
 Hosur, Dharmapuri and Jolarpettai is across the state border in Tamil Nadu. Hindupur and Kuppam is across state border in Andhra Pradesh, while Tumakuru, Bangarapete, Mysuru, Marikuppam, Kolar and Hassan are in Karnataka.
 Service to and from Hassan, Hindupur, Hosur, Dharmapuri and Tumakuru are operated from Yesvantpur Junction, while services to Mysore, Kolar, Marikuppam, Kuppam, Bangarapet and Jolarpettai are from Bangalore City and Bangalore Cantonment.

Though approved in principle by Government of India, budget allocations have been paltry over the last few years as only token amounts have been allocated. On 7 October 2020, the project was approved by Prime Minister's Office and the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (headed by the Prime Minister). The State Government commenced providing budgetary support for the Suburban Rail project & 500 crores was allocated in the 2020-21 budget. Meanwhile, K-RIDE has kick-started the Suburban project by calling tenders for Land Survey, hiring staff etc.

Two priority lines will be taken up first as per Government of Karnataka's advise. These are Mallige Line and Kanaka Line. The Suburban rail routes are named after local flowers.

As of 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for the start of construction of the project on 20 June.

Routes and Lengths Approved Initially

*The total number of stations is 58 (figures under individual routes include interchange stations).

Routes and Lengths Amended (May-2023)
During May-2023, K-Ride released amendments and the following changes have been made:

Corridor-1: Length amended to 42.522 km; Corridor-1A: A 5.95 km link to the Airport has been planned; Corridor-2: Extended to Soladevanahalli, length amended to 28.722 km; Corridor-4: Length amended to 47.743km.

The Total Route Length for Phase-1 would thus be 160.457 km.

Additional stations:

Corridor-1: (i) Between Airport-KIADB and Devanahalli (near Chikkasanne /IVC road); (ii) Between Judicial Layout and Yelahanka (near Allalasandra).

Corridor-1A: (i) Airport City; (ii) Airport Terminal.

Corridor-4: (i) Between Jakkur and Yelahanka (near Allalasandra); (ii) Between Yelahanka and Muddanahalli (near Nagenahalli); (iii) Between Muddanahalli and Rajanakunte (near Honnenahalli).

There will be five Inter-change stations at: (i) KSR Bengaluru city, (ii) Yesvantapur, (iii) Yelahanka, (iv) Benniganahalli and (v) Airport Trumpet.

Construction
During November 2021, tenders were called for the elevated viaduct portion of Corridor-2. However, there was a delay in awarding the tender due to land acquisition issues, railway land transfer, approval by IR, formalities etc. Meanwhile, a consortium of Egis, Louis Berger & AECOM JV won bid and were appointed General Consultants in February 2022. The tender for Corridor-2 was awarded to L&T during August 2022 for 8km of elevated viaduct. Construction began in mid-2023 after all hurdles were removed.

Tender for construction of Corridor-4 was awarded to L&T during August 2023.

As of August-2023, tender for Corridor-1 was under preparation.

Depots
Two depots were initially planned at Jnanabharathi (56.9 acres) and near Devanahalli at Akkupete (61.2 acres). Neither of these are on the priority Corridors 2 and 4. Hence, feasibility for a depot at Huskuru along Corridor-4 (Kanaka Line) was being explored[34].

Subsequently (in Jan-2023), the depot at Jnanabharathi was cancelled and a depot is planned at Soladevenahalli on 52.2 acres.

The Stearman M-2 Speedmail (nicknamed the Bull Stearman) was a mail-carrier aircraft produced by the Stearman Aircraft Company of Wichita, Kansas. It first flew in January 1929. The Speedmail was a single-seat biplane, with two large cargo compartments in place of a front cockpit. The fuselage and tail unit were constructed from welded chrome-moly steel tube faired with wooden formers and fabric covered aft of the pilot's cockpit, and detachable aluminium alloy panels covered the fuselage forward of the cockpit. The wings were constructed from spruce spars and plywood built-up ribs, all fabric covered. It differed from previous Stearman aircraft by having a tailwheel instead of a tailskid due to its size and weight.

Design and development

Lloyd Stearman and Mac Short, (Stearman's V.P. engineering), designed the Speedmail to the requirements of Varney Air Lines, which needed a new mail carrier with greater capacity to fly the Air Mail contracts they acquired from the U.S. Postal service while still being able to land on short, unimproved airstrips. This was achieved by using a new type of airfoil section, the Goettingen 398, allowing high lift at low speeds without affect the cruising speed. The result was a sturdy aircraft with a large cargo capacity.

To enable Interstate Air Lines to fly passengers on its Air Mail routes from Atlanta, Stearman enlarged the M-2, into the LT-1(Light Transport).The three aircraft produced for Interstate Air Lines could carry four passengers plus mail.

A further development was the CAB-1, "Stearman Coach", which was designed with an enclosed cabin for use as a business aircraft. However, only one was built.

Operational history
Varney Air Lines' pilots found the M-2 difficult to handle and the Wright Cyclone engine was plagued with frequent maintenance issues. The sole surviving Stearman M-2 Speedmail is on display in the collection of the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum in Hood River, Oregon, U.S.A.

Variants

M-2 Speedmail Single-engine mail transport aircraft, powered by a 525 hp (391-kW) Wright Cyclone radial engine, able to carry up to 1,000 lb (454 kg) of mail.
Stearman LT-1 Slightly larger 5-seat passenger and mail carrier, powered by a Pratt & Whitney Hornet radial piston engine.
CAB-1 Coach Similar to the M-2 with enclosed cockpit filling gap between the fuselage and wing and powered with a 300 hp Wright J-6-9.

Nicholas II Sanudo (or Niccolò, also called Spezzabanda; died aft. 1374) was the Lord of Gridia (a fief in Andros) and eighth Duke of the Archipelago as the consort of his cousin Florence Sanudo, with whom he reigned until her death.

Nicholas was a son of Guglielmazzo Sanudo, Lord of Gridia. Florence's first marriage was to Giovanni dalle Carceri, but he died in 1358, without issue. She tried to remarry, first to the Vignoso, Genoese Lord of Chios, and then to Nerio I Acciajuoli, the future Duke of Athens, but both potential husbands were vetoed by the Republic of Venice, which kidnapped her and brought to Crete. There she was forced to marry in 1364 her cousin Nicholas Spezzabanda.

By his cousin, he left only daughters: Maria, who inherited Andros, and Elisabetta Sanudo.

"The Beaches of Cheyenne" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Garth Brooks.  It was released in December 1995 as the third single from his sixth studio album Fresh Horses.  The song became Brooks's 15th Billboard Number One hit in March 1996.  The song was written by Brooks, Dan Roberts and Bryan Kennedy.

Background and writing
On the 1995 TV special, The Garth Brooks Story, Garth explains that the song's meaning did not end up the way he planned: "[It was] supposed to be real funny. Kind of like cowboys on the beach, kind of, swingin' kind of thing. Then it went to a guy on the beach that would come home from a suit and tie job. He never had any cowboy talents, but he always wanted to be one. So he just comes home, slips off his shoes and goes out and walks on the beach and dreams of Wyoming and stuff. Then out of just a fluke, one time passing through, it came with...every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne. We looked at each other and said, "This ain't gonna be funny, boys." Cheyenne, Wyoming is home to Cheyenne Frontier Days, one of the most notable rodeo events that takes place every summer.

Content
"The Beaches of Cheyenne" is a mid-tempo set in the key of G major. Brooks's vocals range from C4 (middle C) to E5.

The lyrics describe a woman who "just went crazy" after her husband decides to participate in a rodeo against her wishes in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and is killed in the bull riding event after he "drew a bull no man could ride". The grieving woman, distraught that her last words to her husband were "I don't give a damn if you never come back from Cheyenne", ran out into the ocean. Although her body was never found (it is implied she may even still be alive), the narrator explains that "If you go down by the water / You'll see her footprints in the sand / 'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne."

Reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic considered "The Beaches of Cheyenne" one of the stronger tracks on the album, saying that Brooks "let his guard down" because, unlike the rest of the album, he was not "trying too hard." Entertainment Weekly critic Alanna Nash called it a "confusing ghost story."

Chart history
The song debuted on the Billboard country charts on the week of December 9, 1995, along with four album cuts from Fresh Horses: "The Old Stuff", "Rollin'", "It's Midnight Cinderella" and "That Ol' Wind", of which the latter two were later released as singles. On the chart week of March 16, 1996, it became Brooks's fifteenth Billboard Number One hit, holding the position for one week.

He co-edited the journals "The Psychoanalytical Bulletin", "The Bulletin of Psychoanalysis", etc. He was a forerunner (with V.S. Stepin) of the Minsk philosophical school "Humanities Encyclopedia". He is considered one of the founders of modern Belarusian sociology.

Biography
In 1969 he graduated from the historical department of the Belarusian State University (BSU). After finishing post-graduate study at the chair of philosophy of BSU he wrote his doctoral thesis "Critical analysis of the personality theory of Freud's psychoanalytical system" (1973, BSU). From 1972 to 1982 he worked as a lecturer, a senior lecturer, and an assistant professor of the chair of philosophy at the BSU.

In 1982-1983 he was an assistant professor of the chair of philosophy at the Refresher Institute for Lectures of Social Sciences of the BSU. From 1983-1987 he worked as an assistant professor of the chair of philosophy at the Refresher Institute for Lecturers of Social Sciences of Moscow State University, named after M.V. Lomonosov.

In 1987 he was an assistant professor and later a professor (1995) of the chair of philosophy at Moscow State Linguistic University. His doctoral thesis was "Genesis, Foundations, Forms and Tendencies of Sociological Psychologism Development as a Phenomenon of Social Thought" (1995, MSU).

Scientific achievements
The scientific achievements of V.Ocharenko connect sociological psychologism, the problems of personality and interpersonal relations, the contents and models of mind; history, the theory and methodology of psychoanalysis and post-freudism, the human dimensions of world history, alienation and humanism, the history of philosophy, sociology and psychology; metaphilosophy and methods of teaching philosophy.

He proved that the creation of the Western and Eastern versions of conceptual humanism were one of the first socially significant results of systematic philosophical activity in the Ancient world.

He researched paradigms and trends of classical and modern social thought. In 1990 he elaborated the foundations of the sociological psychologism— "concept that regards action and interaction of social, group and individual psychical factors as a premise of research and explanation of social phenomena and processes" .

In 1993 V.Ovcharenko initiated the campaign to return original documents and materials about the history of the Russian Psychoanalytical movement to Russia.

In 1994 he published the "Psychoanalytical Glossary" — the first Russian language edition of a dictionary and reference book on psychoanalysis that presented systematized data on the history of psychoanalysis, its ideas and leaders, terminology, founding documents, classical and modern schools and theories. He has marked out three principal stages in the development of classical psychoanalysis: 1) Clinical (1896—1905), 2) Psychological (1905—1913) and 3) Metaphysical (1913—1939).

In 1996 V.Ovcharenko worked out the first historical periods of the Russian psychoanalysis and psychoanalytical movement. With Russian psychoanalyst V.Leibin, he published "The Anthology of Russian Psychoanalysis" (in two volumes) describing the first century of Russian psychoanalytical ideas.

V.Ovcharenko introduced the categories of "sociological psychologism", "conceptual problematic complex", "conceptual problematic associations", "latent and contact world history", "dispersed rational sphere", "dispersed psychoanalytical sphere", "multibasisness of a person", etc. He published about 1500 articles in different countries. These include more than 700 biographies of philosophers, sociologists, psychologists and psychoanalysts.  He also wrote articles in Russian and foreign journals, encyclopedias and dictionaries.

Blooded critical response

The film's topic has provoked reactions from parties on both side of the hunting debate in the UK. In promoting the film, its makers originally asserted that it was a re-creation of an actual event that occurred after the enactment of the 2005 hunting ban in England, maintaining that the film, rather than trying to make any political points, only investigates "the nature of extremism" in any form, and "encourages debate".
The Evening Standard wrote that the film "caused outrage after graphic scenes showing activists attacking five deer-stalkers were posted on the internet, in a viral publicity campaign."
The Independent noted the film's controversial stance, and that as the film's asserted protagonists were a group of extreme animal activists, it generated "much chatter on the interweb" after clips appeared on Youtube. They wrote however, "it all has the whiff of a clever publicity stunt". This is a stance echoed in many other online reviews with suggestions that it is a mockumentary that leaves the viewer with [sic] "no doubt that it is fabricated".
The List classed it as an example of a "fantastic piece of filmmaking that shows what is achievable if you get creative within your budget".

The Ordre de l'Étoile d'Anjouan (Order of the Star of Anjouan) was a French colonial order of knighthood founded in 1874.

History
It was established in 1874 by sultan Said Ali bin Said Omar of the Grande Comore island of Anjouan, reorganised on 18 June 1892 and authorised and recognised by the French government on 12 September 1896. It was made a French Overseas Order in 1950.

In this case a local order was adopted by the French, although they reorganised and redesigned it. Another Anjouan order, the Star of Said Ali was not adopted.

The Ordre de l'Étoile d'Anjouan has five classes: Grand-Croix, Grand-Officier, Commandeur, Officier and Chevalier. It was not  awarded from the institution of the National Order of Merit on 3 December 1963. It was recreated in 1992 by the independent Comoros.

"Shameless" is a song written by American singer Billy Joel and recorded on his 1989 album Storm Front. His version peaked at No. 40 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks charts. Two years later, the song was covered by country music artist Garth Brooks on his third studio album, 1991's Ropin' the Wind. Brooks' rendering of the song was his seventh No. 1 hit on the Billboard country charts in late 1991. It also reached No. 71 on the UK Singles Chart.

In 1993, on stage in Boston, Joel introduced the song by saying, "I want[ed] to write a song, like a Jimi Hendrix song, you know. Back in the sixties, he was one of my idols, Jimi Hendrix." Joel also mentioned the Hendrix inspiration at a talk in Nuremberg, in 1995.

Background and production

Garth Brooks version
The song features harmony vocals by Trisha Yearwood, Brooks's later wife. Brooks provided the following background information on the song in the booklet liner notes from his compilation, The Hits:

<blockquote>"Shameless" was the longest shot we took with a song. I was talked into becoming a member of a CD club...you know, the 40,000 CD's for a penny deal. With those clubs, they write you with the selection of the month. If you don't write back and cancel, then they send it to you and charge you for it. I was on the road for six months with no one to check the mail and came home to find six compact discs in my mailbox. Storm Front by Billy Joel was one of them. I hadn't listened to Billy Joel since the late seventies, probably since Glass Houses. I fell in love with the album and fell back in love with Billy Joel's music. One of his songs really captured me, a song called "Shameless." I kept watching it, and when he did not release it as a single, we contacted his people in the hopes that we could cut it. His people sent us a letter acknowledging that he knew who I was and was very honored that I was cutting it. That was quite a compliment for me then, as it is now. My hope is that Billy, as writer, hears this cut and says, "Yeah, man, the guy's got balls."</blockquote>

Brooks performed "Shameless" with Joel during Joel's Last Play at Shea'' concerts in 2008, and after Brooks performed it in his Central Park concert in 1997, Joel came out on stage and they sang a duet of "New York State of Mind." In 2011, Joel and Brooks performed the song together again when Brooks was inducted to the Songwriters Hall of Fame by Joel.

Critical reception

Garth Brooks version
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic described Brooks' rendering of the song favorably in his review of the album, saying that Brooks "made his '70s rock influences more explicit" by "transform[ing] the song from a rock power ballad into contemporary country."

Chart positions

Billy Joel version

"Shameless" entered the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart on October 19, 1991.

The Frankfurt Marathon (official name as of 2016: Mainova Frankfurt Marathon, until 2015: BMW Frankfurt Marathon, until 2010: Commerzbank Frankfurt Marathon) is a marathon which has taken place every year in Frankfurt am Main since its inception in 1981. It is the longest-established city marathon in Germany and in terms of the number of finishers, Germany's second-largest.  It is organised by the agency motion events.

History

Five years after the first New York City Marathon, it was decided that the time was right to launch marathons within German cities. The OSC Hoechst 1960 athletics club organised the first Frankfurt Marathon in 1981, with Hoechst itself serving as the main sponsors.  During the course of the same year, the Berlin Marathon and the Rhein-Ruhr-Marathon were also run for the first time.

Despite the number of finishers continually rising from 2588 in its first year to 7297 in 1985, Hoechst stopped organising the event. As a consequence, the marathon did not take place in 1986. In 1987 the city of Frankfurt and the athletics department of Eintracht Frankfurt reinstated the race.  The date was moved to October and the Messegelände (exhibition grounds) became the new site for the start and finish.

The 2020 edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Course

The start of the course is on the Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage next to the iconic Messeturm.  Upon reaching the Platz der Republik the course turns left into Mainzer Landstrasse. After a lap of the Taunusanlage athletes return to the start of the course and continue onwards to the Bockenheimer Warte, before going to the Alter Oper via Bockenheimer Landstrasse.  The course then continues along Reuterweg and Bremer Strasse in a northerly direction as far as the Westend Campus at the University of Frankfurt, before returning to Opernplatz via Eschersheimer Landstrasse and the Bockenheimer Anlage.  Continuing into Junghofstrasse the course heads into Roßmarkt then past the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the Eschenheimer Tor and the Friedberger Tor before turning south towards and over the Alte Brücke over the River Main which brings the athletes into the suburb of Sachsenhausen on the southern side of the river.  Athletes then run parallel to the Main in a westerly direction into the suburbs of Niederrad and Schwanheim. The only notable ascent on the course occurs at the bridge back over the Main in Schwanheim, and the participants continue westwards to the Bolangaropalast in Hoechst, Frankfurt's most westerly suburb. Athletes then turn back towards the city centre and run through the suburb of Nied via the Mainzer Landstrasse.  The Galluswarte can be seen after 34 kilometres and the Alter Oper after 36.  The course then continues along  () and Kaiserstrasse past the Taunusanlage and then the Roßmarkt is negotiated for the second time to Eschenheim. The last three kilometres go back past the Alter Oper and via the Platz der Republik into the Festhalle, where athletes run the last few metres on a specially-laid red carpet before crossing the finishing line.

The Hammering Man is regarded as an unofficial symbol of the race.
