Early life
Pamungkas introduction to music began at the age of 8 when he took drum lessons at the prompting of his mother who had hoped that his hearing might improve in his left ear, which is half deaf. The drum lessons did not last long because Pamungkas wanted to drum fast, when he was taught to play slowly in stages. He also tried learning the piano and guitar by himself; his guitar lessons had lasted only one month. At the age of 10, he told his father that he wanted to pursue music and not go to school. His father, who owns an artist management company named Oxygen Entertainment, got him to join the crew of a number of band tours.

After elementary school, Pamungkas attended SMP 200 Jakarta. While still at school, he performed at a café called La Piazza, where he was able to earn a regular income. Uninterested in formal education in school, he was eventually homeschooled for a year and 8 months.

Pamungkas delayed going to college for 4 years, eventually went to study Visual Communication Design at Paramadina University in 2014. even though he was also accepted for the Jakarta Arts Institute as well as for studying music at Pelita Harapan University.

Music career
Pamungkas joined a band called Potenzio in 2009, and they released an album titled Jingga.

Pamungkas released his debut solo album, Walk the Talk, in 2018 to popular acclaim. The album was in fact first released in 2017 with 10 songs, but re-released in 2018 with six more songs and a new cover. Most of the songs are written in English but three are in Indonesian. Songs in the album such as "Sorry", "One Only" and "Kenangan Manis" ("Sweet Memories") received over 30 million streams.

In 2019, he released his second album Flying Solo. This was followed by remixed albums of Walk The Talk as well as Flying Solo, and in 2020 The End Of Flying Solo Era.

In 2020, he released Solipsism and then a reworked companion album Solipsism 0.2 in 2021. Pamungkas became the most-streamed Indonesian artist in 2020 on Spotify Wrapped list. The Walk the Walk album was also the most-streamed album of 2020 in Indonesia, and the track "One Only" one of the top five most-streamed Indonesian songs.

In April 2021, Pamungkas' song "To the Bone" from Flying Solo became the longest-running top song on Spotify's Indonesia Top 50 chart. The video for the song has received over 240 million views on YouTube by July 2022.

He recorded two covers of songs by Dewa 19 in 2021: "Pupus" and "Risalah Hati".

In June 2022, Pamunkas released an album titled Birdy. The title track was released as a single, however, it caused controversy when it was revealed to show similarity to Charles Bukowski's poem "The Bluebird". He announced his first tour outside Indonesia, starting with shows in Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.

Michael Peter Kitchen (born 16 February 1952) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League in the 1970s and 80s as a forward.

Career

Born in Mexborough, Kitchen began his career at Doncaster Rovers, after being spotted by manager Lawrie McMenemy, and he went on to spend seven years there as a first team player. He made his debut at the age of 18 and scored after just two minutes during a 3–0 win over Shrewsbury Town and scored again in his second game, a 2–1 defeat to Swansea Town. Despite Doncaster struggling in Division Four for several years, Kitchen made a name for himself at Rovers, forming striking partnerships with Brendan O'Callaghan and Mike Elwiss. He played alongside Elwiss in one of the biggest games for the club at the time when they drew 2–2 with Liverpool at Anfield on 5 January 1974, with Kitchen scoring one of the goals, before losing 2–0 in the replay. Kitchen went on to attract attention from higher divisions for several years, including spending time on trial at Bobby Robson's Ipswich Town, before signing for Leyton Orient in the summer of 1977 for £40,000.

Ever present in his first year at Orient he finished as the club's top scorer with 21 goals, as well as scoring seven times in the FA Cup as the club reached the semi-finals beating Chelsea and Middlesbrough along the way. The following year he moved across London to join Fulham for a fee of £150,000. The move did not work out for him as he struggled to find form and a series of injuries in his second year at Fulham saw him miss most of the season as the club were relegated and he moved to Cardiff City for £100,000.

He made his debut for Cardiff in a 4–2 win against one of his former clubs in Leyton Orient and, although he didn't score in that game, he ended the season as the club's top scorer with 13 League goals and, mainly thanks to scoring 5 times in a 6–0 win over Cardiff Corinthians in the Welsh Cup, 19 goals in all competitions as Cardiff just avoided relegation. However his form at the club did not continue into his second season at Ninian Park as the club failed to avoid relegation for the second year running and fell to Division Three.

After leaving Cardiff he had a short spell with Hong Kong side Happy Valley, before returning to play for Leyton Orient in 1982–83. He made another 49 league appearances in his second spell with the London club, and then went to play Major Indoor Soccer League football with Las Vegas Americans. He returned to play for Dagenham in non-league football, then finished his Football League career with a short stint at Chester City in 1984–85 before returning to Dagenham for the remainder of that season before being released.

Kitchen retired at the age of 33, though made a short come back for Margate in 1991 and during the 1990s made 228 appearances for Corinthian Casuals Veterans, scoring 280 goals.

His post-football career included coaching on the youth development programme at Wimbledon F.C., and as of September 2006 he was working at a leisure management company in Sevenoaks, retiring by 2010 to spend time travelling.

Louis Charles Salvana (20 January 1897 – 8 December 1974) was an Australian sportsman who played first-class cricket for Victoria and Australian rules football with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was known during his football career by his first name Lou and by Charles when he played cricket.

Salvana spent the 1919 VFL season with Melbourne and made six appearances for their seniors that year, all in losses. The Prahran recruit kicked two goals in a game against Carlton at the MCG.

He did not play again after that year and instead turned his attention to cricket, appearing in his first and only first-class cricket match in the 1926/27 summer. The match, a Sheffield Shield encounter against New South Wales, took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground. New South Wales batted first and amassed 469, on the back of an unbeaten 217 by Alan Kippax. Salvana did not bowl but contributed with a catch to dismiss Test player Johnny Taylor. A right-handed batsman, Salvana opened the batting in each of Victoria's innings and made scores of six and a duck. In the second innings he was dismissed by Charlie Macartney, an Australian representative.

The following year aged 15 she took part at Miss East Africa 1998 and in the modeling competition M-Net Face of Africa 1998 becoming a runner up. She later participated at Elite Model Look 1999 contest and Miss Earth 2008 where she was crowned as Miss Earth – Air 2008.

At 13, her life was tough and her parents had to move to their uncle.  She always wondered what life was all about then. As she grew older, she perceived God’s message of love and started appreciating everything around her especially the nature, God’s greatest gift to not only to her but to all of us.

The path to success for Miriam started back in 1997 when she first competed in a local beauty pageant Miss Temeke, aged 14. She went on to compete nationally for the Miss Tanzania crown but ended up in the Top 10 and was not able to win the crown. However this was not the end but the beginning for her who tried her luck at several beauty pageants including Miss East Africa in 1998. However Miriam Odemba got her break at the end of 1998 when she took part in an African regional model search – Mnet Face of Africa 1998 and becoming one of the runners-up.
In 1999, aged 16, she was selected as Elite Model Look Tanzania, and competed at Elite Model Look 1999 in Nice, France placing among the Top 17 and also got an exclusive contract with Elite Model Management in New York city. However, due to personal problems and the sudden loss of her manager Amina Mongi, her contract with Elite ended without implementation.

Miriam struck out on a new path in entertainment and worked briefly in modeling and dancing in China and she also took part in the Miss Kite beauty pageant in 2001. Despite Not winning, she later she launched her modeling career in Europe and Asia.

Miss Earth 2008

In the final competition of the eighth edition of the international beauty pageant Miss Earth, Odemba was announced as one of sixteen semi-finalists who would move forward to compete for the title. She achieved one of the eight highest scores in the swimsuit competition for her stage chops, which advanced her as one of the top eight finalists to participate in the evening gown competition. She then pulled away for the lead as she articulated in her video interview about environmental concerns as a key issue in her country, in which she advanced to the top four.

In the last round, the court of four were asked one question, “What would you tell US president-elect Barack Obama about the state of the global environment if ever you were to meet him?” She placed the second highest score in the interview round and at the conclusion of the competition, she was crowned Miss Earth Air.

A parade and press conference were given for winning Miss Earth Air 2008. The Miss Earth pageant was held on November 9, 2008 at the Clark Expo Amphitheater in Angeles, Pampanga, Philippines. Eighty-five delegates arrived from October 19, 2008 in the Philippines. The pageant was broadcast live via ABS-CBN in the Philippines and to many countries worldwide via Star World, The Filipino Channel and other partner networks.

Odemba's closest friend among the Miss Earth 2008 top four runner-up winners—named after the four elements—is her pageant roommate Karla Henry, Miss Earth 2008 from the Philippines. They plan to climb Mount Kilimanjaro together.

The Many Glacier Barn and Bunkhouse in Glacier National Park, also known as Packer's Roost East, were constructed to serve backcountry pack trail activities near the Many Glacier Hotel. The barn was designed in 1938 by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Design to replace a barn that had burned in the Swiftcurrent Valley fire of 1936, using a simplified form of the National Park Service Rustic style. The bunkhouse was built nearby, then moved directly adjacent to the barn.

Sam Richards (born 1949 in London), is an English writer, composer, improviser, jazz pianist and former folk music collector and performer. For most of his life he has lived in south Devon. His father was the writer and playwright Allen Saddler (1923–2011).

After studying with Alfred Nieman at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and being active in experimental music, he moved to Devon and quickly became involved in the performance and collection of folk music, accumulating some 600 hours of recordings from traditional performers. In the late 1980s his interest returned to avant-garde and experimental music, and he has composed and performed extensively in that genre. He taught at Dartington College of Arts and also at the University of Plymouth until 2018.

His writings include the books "Soundings - All Kinds of Music, A 21st Century Musician's Anthology", "Dartington College of Arts - Learning by Doing", The Engaged Musician, John Cage as... and Sonic Harvest: Towards Musical Democracy; BBC Radios 2 and 3 documentaries including one on the composer Morton Feldman; and articles for Oral History, the Folk Music Journal, fRoots, Contemporary Music Review, Proof, The Wire and the New Statesman.

Early studies and folk music
Richards cites formative influences as Alfred Nieman and Cornelius Cardew. He studied with Nieman at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He also took part in experimental music events organised by Cornelius Cardew. In 1968 he moved from the Guildhall to Dartington College of Arts in Devon. He had already studied composition at Dartington Summer School of Music with French avant gardist Michel Decoust.

In the 1970s he was a member of the folk trio Staverton Bridge with Tish Stubbs and Paul Wilson, and later toured the English folk scene as a duo with Tish Stubbs. He devoted much time to folklore research mainly in England's Westcountry, concentrating on gypsies, farming communities and children's songs and tales, writing several papers on these subjects. Sound recordings made by him are held by the British Library Sound Archive, and the Sam Richards Folklore Archive of 600 hours of recordings of song, music and interviews made between 1972 and 1987 is held by the British Library and the University of Plymouth. In 1979 he and Tish Stubbs published The English Folksinger, a collection of folk songs with melodies; it includes a few songs which Richards wrote himself. At this time he was director of the Westcountry Folklore Centre and co-director of People's Stage Tapes, which concentrated on releasing recordings of traditional and revival performers, including a recording of Walter Pardon singing at a folk club in Torquay. From 1982 to at least 1989 he jointly produced with Steve Roud a quarterly newsletter titled "Folk Song Research: A Newsletter for Researchers of Traditional Song".

Avant garde and jazz
After some years specialising in musical anthropology and fieldwork, Richards wrote "Fool's Holiday", a quasi-minimalist score with much opportunity for jazz improvisation. In collaboration with Peter Kiddle of "Theatre of Public Works" this became a theatre/dance piece with references to ritual and folklore. It was performed in England and also in the BritEsch Festival in Luxembourg.

His recent premières include "Kropotkin", a large scale piece for many performers, which was performed on 1 March 2009 as part of the Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival, and "Four Sea Studies" – premièred by the Torbay Symphony Orchestra in 2010. His "Four Drones" was commissioned in 2009 by the Experimental Flute Ensemble and played in various venues around South Devon. Premièred in June 2009, was his "About Time: Voices" at the San Francisco Public Library, performed by the Cornelius Cardew Choir. In 2012 "Vox Populi" was performed at the Totnes Festival and on Soundart Radio. In 2014 a new composition for string players and the marble run at the Bovey Tracey House or Marbles was premiered.

Fish Music
"Fish Music" was an idea conceived when Richards was a student. Fish swimming in a tank become musical notation by means of a five line musical stave being placed across the glass. String players are instructed to choose a fish and follow its course behind the stave. A revised version in which a team of improvisers with backs turned to the fish respond to the string sound, was premièred by the strings of Ten Tors Orchestra at the National Marine Aquarium, Plymouth in 2008. An updated version for filmed fish, string players and improvising soloists was presented in Plymouth city centre in the summer of 2013, using the city's large outdoor screen for the film of the fish. The filmed fish film was also used in 2015 for the CAM Festival at the Millennium Centre, Cardiff, with five string players and improvisers Lona Kozik, Gorwel Owen and Richards himself.

Dismissal from Dartington
From 2006, Richards was an outspoken opponent of the proposed closure and move to Falmouth of Dartington College of Arts, the last small independent arts college in the UK, where he had taught part-time for 30 years. He was a founder member of the "Save Dartington College Campaign" which existed not only to save the college, but to question the processes and interests which led to its closure. Richards said that "the whole ethos of Dartington can't and won't be transplanted down there. Once you have taken it away from the place where it grew from, it will become something else."

He was suspended from the college over a satirical article he published on the campaign website that criticised the college administration and, in particular, principal Andrew Brewerton. Following a hearing, he was dismissed for gross insubordination, a decision that he appealed against, maintaining that it was unfair and biased against him. The appeal tribunal agreed that if Richards apologised to Brewerton he could be reinstated, giving guidelines as to what the apology should contain. However, the apology he wrote was not accepted by Brewerton and Richards refused to compromise further.

Current activities
Richards worked part-time at the University of Plymouth from the early 1990s to 2018. He now lectures for the Academy Sound and Music in Exeter. He is an improviser and jazz pianist, and played with the improving group Half Moon Assemblage with Lona Kozik, Elie Fruchter and, occasionally, Tim Sayer. He also does regular monthly gigs with the Jazzlab, an experimental band that plays free jazz, electronic/instrumental freeform pieces, and sometimes Richards' own poetry - which has a political edge.  As a poet and reader he occasionally participates in local readings and has guested and headlined for many groups.
From 2017 to 2019 He was composer and radio programme maker for Sounding Coastal Change, an Open University project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and focussing on the North Norfolk Coast.

The Battle of Bedcanford is a battle portrayed in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as taking place in 571 between Britons and someone called Cuthwulf (normally assumed to be a West Saxon).

Portrayal in the Chronicle
The annal describing the battle reads "Her Cuþwulf feaht wiþ Bretwalas æt Bedcan forda. & .iiii. tunas genom, Lygeanburg. & Ægelesburg. Benningtun. & Egonesham. & þy ilcan geare he gefor" ("This year Cuthwulf fought with the Britons at Bedford and took four towns, Limbury, Aylesbury, Benson and Eynsham. And this same year he died").

Identification of Bedcanford
The identity of Badcanford is uncertain. Despite the superficial similarity of the name to Bedford, this identification has been declared unlikely by modern historians.

Historicity
In an influential lecture of 1849 on "The Early English Settlements in South Britain", Edwin Guest took the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle account of sixth- and seventh-century battles between Anglo-Saxons and the Britons as a historically accurate and coherent account of an Anglo-Saxon military invasion, followed by settlement, northwards from the south coast of Britain. The Battle of Bedcanford was for many years viewed by historians as part of this history. In 1881, John Richard Green's Guest-inspired The Making of England claimed that Cuthwulf was the son of Cynric, portrayed by the Chronicle as the founder of the West-Saxon dynasty, and argued that the four towns controlled the north bank of the Thames river from the Chilterns to the Cotswolds—roughly coinciding with the traditional counties of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. As archaeological evidence grew more extensive during the twentieth century and historians came to view the whole of south-eastern Britain as being culturally Anglo-Saxon already in the fifth century, they attempted to fit the annal into their understanding by positing that the area had come under Anglo-Saxon rule, been lost again following a resurgence in British power around 500, and reconquered in 571.

This consensus was prominently questioned in 1983 by Patrick Sims-Williams, who argued that the Chronicle account could not be relied on as a true account of sixth-century events, and that it could rather reflect later inventions intended to support later political and territorial claims by the West-Saxon kings. He argued that when it referred to Limbury, Aylesbury, Benson and Eynsham by the Old English word  (translated above as "towns"), the Chronicle was using the word in the technical sense of "royal manor", and he advanced evidence that each site was indeed a royal manor during the early Middle Ages. This does not in itself disprove that the sites were captured in 571, but does give a plausible reason why later West Saxon kings may also have wished to promote the idea that they held them by right of conquest. Moreover, Sims-Williams noted good evidence that Mercia had significantly expanded its territory southwards into West-Saxon lands by winning the Battle of Bensington in 779, leading to territorial disputes concerning church lands that King Offa of Mercia had taken in the process. Sims-Williams suggested that these territorial gains included formerly West-Saxon royal estates at Limbury, Aylesbury, Benson and Eynsham and that "without asserting that the 571 annal was simply invented to form a 'charter' for West Saxon territorial aspirations, it may nevertheless be suggested that it may have been shaped by the events of 779 and after".

It is possible that the Cilternsæte or Chiltern-setna, a tribe of 4,000-hides listed in the Tribal Hidage, comprised the territory of these four towns: the 4,000 hides for the Chilternsetna in the Tribal Hidage matches the 4,000 for the three burhs of Oxford, Buckingham and Sashes in the Burghal Hidage from about 100 years later.

Richard P. Havens, 1983 is a 1968 double album set by folk rock musician Richie Havens featuring a combination of studio recordings and live material recorded in concert during July 1968. The album combined original material with several of the covers for which Havens was known. Notable songs include the singles "Stop Pushing and Pulling Me" and "Indian Rope Man", the latter of which has been multiply covered under its own name and in retooled identity as "African Herbsman." The genre-bending album was critically and commercially well-received, reaching #80 on the Billboard "Pop Albums" chart. Initially released on the Verve label, it has been reissued multiple times in various formats, including by Verve subsidiary Verver Forecast/PolyGram and Australian label Raven Records. It has also been compiled with albums Mixed Bag and Something Else Again in multi-cd set Flyin' Bird: The Verve Forecast Years on the Hip-O Select/Universal label.

Background
Richard P. Havens, 1983 compiles a number of studio tracks with live material recorded for a concert in July 1968. Musically, it displays Havens' multi-instrumental approach and demonstrates the influence of several genres, including folk rock, world music and folk blues. As critic Richie Unterberger described it in 2003's Eight Miles High, the album "worked towards a folk-rock-world-music fusion of sorts, though one grounded in the sort of bluesy folk [Havens]...and others had pioneered in the Village back in the early 60s." Producer Elliott Mazer said that Havens' method of playing presented some difficulties to the many musicians who joined him, as "Richie was not very interested in learning the chords for the songs" but "made up his own".

Described as a concept album, this was Havens' first experience co-producing one of his albums. Additional production on the album was provided by Mazer and Mark Roth, while John Court lent production to the song "Indian Rope Man." For the cover, Roth photographed Havens in infrared.

The album title is a reference to George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four; Havens meant to imply that "there was still time, brother, but not much."

Music and reception
The album was commercially successful, reaching #80 on the Billboard "Pop Albums" chart, and critically well received. 2004's Rip It Up: The Black Experience in Rock'n'Roll indicates that this album, along with Havens' Mixed Bag and Alarm Clock, "should be considered staples of the rock canon." The Rough Guide to Rock praises it as "an excellent mix of originals and covers, with a darker, brooding feel." In a more modest assessment, Unterberger's review in Allmusic summarizes, "As with many double albums, it perhaps could have used some pruning, although in general it was a worthy expansion of his sound as captured on record."

The album includes several of the covers for which Havens is known, particularly the "imaginative covers" of Beatles and Bob Dylan which Unterberger indicated "he was able to recast as his own". However, while Rough Guide suggested that the album bears "witness to Havens' compelling ability as a live performer", Unterberger discerned on this particular recording "an over reliance on Beatles covers" and felt "the live stuff on side four...seems like an afterthought to push the set to double-LP length."

Singles released from the album include "Stop Pulling and Pushing Me", the B side of a cover of "Rocky Raccoon", in July 1969, and "Indian Rope Man", which was released twice in May 1969: as an "A" side with "Just Above My Hobby Horses Head" and a "B" side with Beatles' cover "Lady Madonna." "Indian Rope Man" has proved enduring, with multiple covers by Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll and Phaze, among others. It was also retooled and retitled as "African Herbsman", under which title it was performed by Bob Marley.

The Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC), Hawaii (previously: Naval Security Group Activity (NSGA) Hawaii, NSGA Kunia, and NSGA Pearl Harbor) is a United States naval installation located on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. NIOC Hawaii employs more than 2,000 sailors and civilians in support of cyber operations and signals intelligence ("SIGINT"). It was originally formed on 30 September 2004, after the merging of NSGA Kunia and NSGA Pearl Harbor, and then known as the combined "NSGA Hawaii". NIOC Hawaii serves as a worldwide hub for a secure US and allied communications network. NIOC Hawaii also provides a secure radio relay, as well as support to the US Indo-Pacific Command ("USINDOPACOM") by providing cryptologic personnel, as well as information, communications, and engineering installation services. NIOC Hawaii provides host support services to the Regional Security Operations Center.

US Marine detachment

A US Marine unit, Marine Cryptologic Support Battalion (formerly Marine Support Battalion) Company I ("India"),  was co-located with NSGA Kunia, and still resides at Schofield Barracks.

Naval Security Group merging
On 14 November 1980, one of the original parent commands, NSGA Kunia, was commissioned at what was then known as Wheeler Air Force Base (now Wheeler Army Airfield). On 30 September 2004, at a ceremony aboard the USS Nevada Memorial, NSGA Kunia and NSGA Pearl Harbor merged to form the new NSGA Hawaii. NSGA Hawaii itself, was subsequently decommissioned on 30 September 2005, then recommissioned the following day as the Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC Hawaii).

Colin Booth (born 30 December 1934) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League as an inside forward for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Nottingham Forest, Doncaster Rovers and Oxford United. He won two league championship medals with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Career
Booth was born in Middleton, Lancashire, and joined Wolverhampton Wanderers as an apprentice in 1950. He made his first-team debut on 11 April 1955 in a 1–0 win over Aston Villa, one of three appearances that season. He began to establish himself in the following season, as he scored 7 times in 27 outings, before adding 9 goals in just 20 games in the subsequent season. However, he found himself below the likes of Jimmy Murray, Dennis Wilshaw and Bobby Mason in the Wolves attack and managed only a peripheral role in their championship-winning campaign of 1957-58. The next season saw him similarly on the sidelines but he did manage an impressive 7 goals from just 13 games. Booth scored four goals against Arsenal on 10 November 1956, in a 5–2 victory for Wolves – this is still a record against the Gunners, shared with Billy Walker of Aston Villa who also scored four in 1920. He won an England Under 23 cap in 1956 against France, coming on as a substitute for future teammate Alick Jeffrey, who broke his leg.

In search of regular football, he joined Nottingham Forest in October 1959 for £20,000. He scored 41 goals in 98 appearances in total for Forest during two-and-a-half seasons, his best season coming in 1960-61 where he netted 19 times. He then spent two seasons at Doncaster Rovers before joining Oxford United. He ended his career at non-league Cambridge United before leaving the game and working in healthcare. He lives in retirement in Dorset.

Thomas Robert Bird (31 August 1904 – 12 April 1979) was an Australian sportsman who played first-class cricket for Victoria and Australian rules football with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Thomas played nine games and kicked five goals for Collingwood over two VFL seasons. He debuted at Collingwood in 1925, a year when Collingwood reached the Grand Final for the first of six successive seasons. As a result of the Magpies side being so strong, Bird struggled to make the team and after his two games in 1925 didn't make another appearance with the seniors until 1928. In a premiership year for Collingwood, Thomas played seven games, including one against Carlton at Princes Park where he kicked three goals in a thrilling win. He however missed out on selection again for the finals series.

On the cricket field Bird was a right-handed wicket-keeper batsman and played three first-class matches for Victoria in the summer of 1928–29. His debut match, against New South Wales, was his finest as he scored 63 from position eight in the batting order to help Victoria secure a draw in their second innings. The match, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground, is remembered for Don Bradman's innings of 340 not out, his maiden first-class triple hundred.

Thylacine was a three piece Australian rock band from the Northern Territory active during the 1990s. Thylacine was formed by indigenous guitarist, Josh Thomas (Mixed Relations, Joe Geia, Us Mob), in Darwin, Northern Territory. The band toured from Darwin to Adelaide and performed at the Adelaide Grand Prix, universities and numerous folk festivals.

The band released the first album, Thylacine Live, through CAAMA Music, in 1995. It was described as being a good strong rock album.

In 1997 they released their second album, Nightmare Dreaming, also through CAAMA Music. The album was recorded and produced by Tom Colley at CAAMA Music Studios in Alice Springs and mastered at Grevillea Studios in Brisbane.

Nightmare Dreaming according to critics was a "passionate hard-core album with an obvious likeness to Nine Inch Nails. This album boasts rasping guitars and powerful deep vocals. The sequenced keyboards on several tracks stand out and Josh’s multi-instrumental skills are used to the full." It was also described as being "13 tracks for lost romantics who are standing on the edge of extinction, just like the Thylacine".

Boris Nikolayevich Schwanwitsch (or Schwanwitz or Shvanvich), , (1889, Poltava – 1957) was a Russian entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera. He is best known for his studies of the colour pattern of the wings.

Boris Schwanwitz graduated from the St. Petersburg University (1908–1913). After graduation, he changed a number of academic positions: assistant lecturer in Entomology at the Stebut Agricultural School (1915), assistant lecturer (1919) and private-docent (1926) at Petrograd (Leningrad) University, professor at the Perm University (1928–1930). In 1930, he returned to Leningrad (St. Petersburg) to take the position of the head of Entomology department of the Leningrad University (1930–1931 and 1944–1955, 1930 to 1944 the dept. for Entomology was part of the Invertebrate Zoology dept.) Vice-president of the Entomological Society of USSR (1954–1957) and the chair of the Zoology section of the Leningrad Naturalists Society.

In a series of papers he reconstructed the groundplan of the colour-pattern of the wings, first for the Rhopalocera, then for Heteroceran families. He formulated the stereomorphism principle, according to which the cryptic effect of the colour pattern is a result of its 'flattening' (the three-dimensional objects look flat) or 'disjunctive' effect (the two-dimensional objects look like a complex three-dimensional relief). To prove his point he built the plaster three-dimensional models of the lepidopteran wings, the photographs of which looked like an actual colour pattern of stripes and shades (photos were published in a series of papers and in his textbook in entomology). Among his other important contributions are a textbook in entomology with a large morphology section heavily based on Snodgrass and Weber (1949, still in use in Russian Universities), and a book on practical apiculture (1945).

His gravestone is ornamented with a reproduction of the groundplan of the colour-pattern of lepidopteran wings from his textbook.

USS LST-371 was a  used by the United States Navy.

She was laid down at Bethlehem Steel Co., Quincy, Massachusetts, on 29 October 1942 and launched on 12 December 1942.  The ship and crew went from Quincy to New York City, New York for final outfitting.  On 1 May 1943 they left New York for Tunis, Tunisia, on the North African coast, arriving there on 27 May 1943.  While in North Africa LST-371 was based at La Goulette Bay.

Wartime career
LST-371 participated in Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, on 10 July 1943, landing troops of the First Division at Gela.  During Operation Avalanche, the ship arrived at Salerno on 9 September 1943 and landed British troops early on the morning of 10 September 1943.

On 22 November 1943, LST-371 departed Oran, Algeria loaded with a LCT to convoy from Gibraltar to the British Isles.  They arrived at Plymouth, England, on 5 December 1944.  For the rest of the winter and spring they prepared for Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy, France.

The ship departed her home port of Dartmouth, England, on the night of 5 June 1944 and arrived at Normandy on 6 June 1944.   They unloaded on Rhino Ferries and LCTs on 7 June 1944.  During the next several months they made numerous trips between Normandy, Portland, and Southampton.

LST-371 was decommissioned from the U.S. Navy and transferred to the Royal Navy on 17 November 1944.  On 16 March 1946 the ship was transferred back to the U.S. Navy and on 5 December 1947 she was sold to Bosey, Philippines.  LST-371 earned three battle stars for World War II service

The Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor () program, one of the first efforts to internationalize the RMB, represents China's effort to allow, on a selective basis, global institutional investors to invest in its RMB denominated capital market.   Once licensed, foreign investors are permitted to buy RMB-denominated "A shares" in China's mainland Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.  Thus foreign investors benefit from an opportunity to invest onshore, which is otherwise often insulated from the rest of the world, and subject to capital controls governing the movement of assets in-and-out of the country.

Development
The program has been in operation for over a decade, and quotas allocating RMB under licenses have expanded steadily.  By the end of April 2011, 103 licensed QFII investors had been granted a combined quota of $20.7 billion to invest in China's capital markets under the QFII program, UBS AG currently holds the greatest single share of quota. Foreign access to China's yuan-denominated "A" stocks are still limited, with quotas placed under the QFII program amounting to US$30 billion.

In April, 2012, the Qualified Foreign investment quota was increased from US$30 billion to US$80 billion. Before the increase, the overall value of approved QFII and RQFII (offshore Renminbi QFII) funds was only 0.8% of total market capitalization and only US$25 billion of the US$30 billion quota was used. While aspects of the increased quota seem likely to take business from Hong Kong, a pilot program in Wenzhou for domestic investors to invest abroad was considered a possible offset for the financial center. The QFII expansion was also followed quickly by the "approval of new ETF products that will be denominated in offshore yuan (CNH) but will trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange".

China granted $910 million worth of investment quotas to 11 foreign institutional investors in March 2013.
The quotas, under the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) scheme, were awarded to overseas institutions including Generali Fund Management S.A, IDG Capital Management (HK) Ltd and Cutwater Investor Services Corp. By the end of March 2013, China had awarded a combined $41.745 billion of QFII quotas to 197 foreign institutions.

By the end of February 2014,   the total quotas issued under the QFII programme to $52.3 billion as of Feb. 28 from $51.4 billion at the end of December, and to 180.4 billion yuan ($29.44 billion) from 167.8 billion yuan under the RQFII programme, according to data by the Chinese agency, SAFE

China's QFII programme quotas stood at $111.38 billion by August, 2019, according to data by the foreign exchange regulator.

In September, 2019,  China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) published a statement, it would remove quotas on the QFII scheme and RQFII.

At the end of September 2020, published by The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), the central bank(PBOC) and the foreign exchange regulator(SAFE), combine the QFII scheme and RQFII. In addition, foreign institutions will also have access to derivatives, including financial futures, commodity futures and options.

Background
Regulations of the QFII program were based on "Temporary Regulation on  Domestic Securities Investment by Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor" (合格境外机构投资者境内证券投资管理暂行办法), which was publicized on 5th Nov 2002 and ceased to be in effect on 1st Sep 2006, and  "Regulation on  Domestic Securities Investment by Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor"(合格境外机构投资者境内证券投资管理办法), which is publicized on 24th Aug 2006, and came into effect on 1st Sep 2006.

Pursuant to "Regulation on Domestic Securities Investment by Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor", to qualify as a QFII, the candidate must:

have stable finance, good credibility, meet the minimum asset scale set by China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC);
the number of staffs meet the requirement set by the authority in its own country or area;
has healthy governing structure and complete internal control system, received no significant punishment in the last 3 years;
candidate's home country has complete legal and supervision system, and its home country or home area has signed Memorandum of Understanding(MOU) with CSRC, and maintains effective supervision cooperation;
other requirements set by CSRC based on prudence.
